chore(release): prepare 0.6.12 version and generated skills

docs(release): 0.6.12 changelog, what's new and capability map
Add the [0.6.12] CHANGELOG section (every change since 0.6.11 linked), replace docs/reference/whats-new.md with the 0.6.12 note for an agent on an upgraded install, and refresh the capability map to capability-delta-v0.6.12: eighty-eight top-level verbs (rig community-harness is the one new verb), one line for each new or changed surface, and four lines that still described 0.6.11's behaviour. Known limitations add that rig up --env is not forwarded for flat-node specs or v1 bundles. Version fields are left at 0.6.11 for the release commit.

+## [0.6.12]
+
+0.6.12 is a fix release about recovery and everyday operation, most of it from
+the community. Restore brings back what you left running and leaves down what
+you stopped, a slow Claude start ends as needing attention instead of failed,
+managed compaction sends a `/compact` short enough to run again, Claude seats
+load the hooks OpenRig ships for them, and you can set one seat's reasoning
+effort, give a team environment variables in its spec, change a seat's
+permission policy in place, launch a rig by name and read what each seat
+reports it costs. It is built from the commit tagged `v0.6.12`. The changes
+since 0.6.11:
+
+### Before you upgrade
+
+- Restart the daemon after upgrading the CLI (`rig daemon stop`, then `rig
+  daemon start`). Twelve migrations run on the first start, whatever you use:
+  `100` typing guard modes
+  ([#1481](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1481)), `104`
+  `nodes.effort_choice` ([#1209](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1209)),
+  `105` Claude cost columns on `usage_samples`
+  ([#1233](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1233)), `107` and `108` Pi
+  usage tables ([#1237](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1237),
+  [#1244](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1244)), `109` the mode
+  store's index per category
+  ([#1274](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1274)), `110`
+  `workflow_instances.scope_json`
+  ([#1273](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1273)), `111`
+  `rigs.env_json` and `nodes.env_json`
+  ([#1294](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1294)), `112` two indexes
+  for recent queue activity, about 10 to 12 MB on a long-running install
+  ([#1326](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1326)), `113`
+  `applied_launch_observations.daemon_opt_out`
+  ([#1371](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1371)), `114`
+  `sessions.agent_app` ([#1392](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1392))
+  and `115` the Slack thread map keyed by channel and thread timestamp
+  ([#1436](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1436)). There are no
+  migrations `102` or `106`.
+- Expect Claude seats whose plugins include `openrig-core` to run its hooks
+  (activity relay, compaction save and restore, refocus) from their next
+  launch, restore or handover: they start with `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIRS` set,
+  which needs Claude Code 2.1.280 or later. openrig-core goes from 0.1.9 to
+  0.1.13 ([#1344](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1344)). The refocus
+  hook may take up to 60 seconds instead of 5
+  ([#1475](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1475)).
+- Expect `rig start --last` to leave down a rig you stopped on purpose with
+  `rig down` or `rig seat stop`, and to print how to bring it back; `--json`
+  carries `keptDown`
+  ([#1238](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1238)). After `rig down`,
+  `rig ps` reads the rig `stopped`
+  ([#1254](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1254)) and the restore
+  hint is `rig up '<name>' --existing`
+  ([#1425](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1425)).
+- Expect an ordinary terminal seat to relaunch fresh on restore and re-run its
+  startup actions; a missing required startup file for such a seat blocks the
+  whole restore before anything launches
+  ([#1328](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1328)). Expect restore to
+  stop a seat whose current runtime differs from its snapshot's, before
+  launch ([#1190](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1190)).
+- Expect a restored Claude seat that's slow to draw its screen to be watched
+  for up to `runtime.readiness_timeout_seconds` and then end
+  `attention_required` with its pane and token kept, not `failed`, so a restore
+  can take longer ([#1359](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1359)).
+  "Returned to a shell" now means the process tree shows an idle shell
+  ([#1357](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1357),
+  [#1395](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1395),
+  [#1373](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1373),
+  [#1364](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1364)), and a Pi or OMP
+  seat at a bare shell reads `attention_required`
+  ([#1391](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1391)).
+- Expect a send to a pane in tmux copy or view mode to leave the mode and
+  deliver, or be refused with `pane_in_mode` (HTTP 409) with no text typed
+  ([#912](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/912)). Expect `rig send
+  --dangerously-interact` to type exactly the bytes and keys given, adding
+  Enter only for a complete answer staged in a recognised Claude Code or
+  Codex input box ([#1366](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1366)).
+- Expect managed `/compact` to be at most 600 characters and sent only to an
+  idle seat, with a separate `compact` result (`submitted, unconfirmed`,
+  `uncertain`, `not sent`) in `rig compact` and `--state`. `rig compact` exits
+  1 (was 2) for `pane_unknown_protected`, and `rig send` exits 1 with HTTP 409
+  (was 2 with 500) when a write throws without a code
+  ([#1483](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1483)).
+- Expect exit 1 and HTTP 400, not exit 2 and 500, for eleven client-fixable
+  `rig queue update` refusals
+  ([#1319](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1319)); exit 1 from `rig
+  ask` for an unknown or ambiguous rig
+  ([#1202](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1202)); and up to 120
+  seconds of waiting in `rig add`, single-seat `rig launch` and `rig launch
+  --seats` ([#1287](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1287),
+  [#1271](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1271)).
+- Expect a runtime `--version` check to give up after 30 seconds: daemon start
+  no longer hangs on it, `rig bootstrap` blocks on a runtime that fails or
+  times out its check ([#1211](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1211)),
+  and `rig up`'s preflight fails a Claude, Codex or OMP check that doesn't
+  answer (a warning for Pi)
+  ([#1301](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1301)).
+- Expect `login_required` only for Claude's current login refusal, not for the
+  "Not logged in" footer alone
+  ([#1417](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1417)); the `fable` alias
+  to name `claude-fable-5-1`, with `[1m]` set aside when comparing
+  ([#1482](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1482)); and pinned Pi
+  seats to be checked, accepting a `:high`-style thinking suffix
+  ([#1349](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1349),
+  [#1403](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1403)).
+- Expect a custom permission policy saved with CRLF line endings to take
+  effect at the next launch or restore instead of falling back to the floor
+  ([#1402](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1402)).
+- Expect `rig bundle create` to refuse harness login files, and an existing
+  archive holding one without a record to fail verify, unpack and install
+  ([#1488](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1488)).
+- Expect `rig scope mission create` to write `status: planned`
+  ([#1289](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1289)), and `--workspace
+  <project>` to create and read missions under the project's declared
+  `missions.root` ([#1430](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1430)).
+- Expect the daemon to run tmux without `/bin/sh` on Linux and macOS
+  (`OPENRIG_TMUX_SHELL=1` keeps the old path)
+  ([#1241](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1241)), and to write
+  Codex's `config.toml` only when a Codex seat exists or launches
+  ([#1297](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1297)).
+- Expect a person's new message in a rig's own mapped Slack channel to reach
+  that rig's representative, and seat posts to name the machine
+  ([#1436](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1436)); the Slack manifest
+  adds the `users:read` scope
+  ([#1433](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1433)).
+- Expect `rig remove` and `rig shrink` to keep a seat that receives work while
+  stopping (409, with the work listed) unless `--fallback` takes it
+  ([#1459](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1459)), and a stale `rig
+  unclaim` to be refused with `session_not_current`
+  ([#1379](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1379)).
+- Read `Typing guard: on (hold)` in `rig seat status` for hold; its JSON's
+  `desired` and `effective` now mean hold only
+  ([#1481](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1481)).
+- Read lower `rig usage top` figures where a seat changed conversation or a
+  window reset ([#1348](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1348),
+  [#1473](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1473)), and execution-view
+  rows bound to a mission by their exact `mission:` tag
+  ([#1304](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1304)) or a slice by its
+  SPEC `id:` ([#1331](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1331)).
+
+### Highlights
+
+- Launch a rig by name: `rig launch <rig>` takes a name or an ID, and a name
+  two active rigs share stops with `rig_ambiguous`
+  ([#1312](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1312)).
+- Set one seat's reasoning effort with `rig seat set-effort <seat> --effort
+  <level> --reason "<why>"` (or `--clear`), used at its next launch, restore,
+  handover or in-place restart, and read it four ways with `rig seat effort`
+  ([#1209](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1209)).
+- Change an existing seat's permission policy with `rig policy apply <policy>
+  --seat <seat> --reason "<why>"`
+  ([#1285](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1285)).
+- Give a team environment variables with `env:` on the rig and members in
+  `rig.yaml`, or for one launch with `rig up <spec> --env KEY=VALUE`; the
+  values aren't secret ([#1294](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1294)).
+- Keep a Codex fork's startup context when its new conversation ID arrives
+  late, with `rig seat continue` to deliver it once
+  ([#1438](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1438)), and complete a
+  handover to a Codex fork with the ID pending
+  ([#1216](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1216)).
+- Correct a row's subject with `rig queue update <id> --summary` alone
+  ([#1270](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1270)), store an outcome
+  with `--resolution` on a close
+  ([#1292](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1292)), and read how a row
+  ended in `rig queue show <id> --full`'s `closingTransition`
+  ([#1290](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1290)).
+- Hand work to the team from an agent with no shell through five queue tools
+  on `rig mcp serve` ([#1441](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1441)).
+- Read what each seat reports it costs with `rig usage cost`, and the same on
+  the TUI's System → Cost page; a missing figure is never $0
+  ([#1233](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1233),
+  [#1261](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1261)).
+- Start the CLI faster: it loads only the command being run
+  ([#1380](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1380)). The daemon runs
+  tmux without a shell, batches transcript captures, skips unchanged
+  terminals and reads the queue with far fewer queries
+  ([#1241](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1241),
+  [#1242](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1242),
+  [#1262](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1262),
+  [#1263](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1263),
+  [#1326](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1326),
+  [#1369](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1369),
+  [#1384](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1384),
+  [#1389](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1389)).
+
+### Seats, launch and restore
+
+- Recover a seat whose startup failed for a recoverable reason on its next
+  successful send or capture
+  ([#1236](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1236)); keep a periodic
+  snapshot taken during `rig down` from replacing the pre-down one
+  ([#1147](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1147)); ignore a context
+  reading taken before a seat changed when compacting
+  ([#1365](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1365)); and launch Claude
+  sessions with `idleCompaction: false` while managed compaction is on
+  ([#1282](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1282)).
+- Say which check a failed process-lineage check found
+  ([#1398](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1398)); retry a staged
+  Claude startup prompt twice and recognise more footers
+  ([#1295](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1295)); pass
+  `TERM_PROGRAM` to managed Claude seats so Shift+Enter inserts a newline
+  ([#1399](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1399)); and keep
+  `--no-daemon` in the printed Codex resume command
+  ([#1371](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1371)).
+- Log why a Codex resume token wasn't captured
+  ([#1284](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1284)); write
+  `rig seat set-resume-token` to the latest session after a clock change
+  ([#1204](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1204)); and name the live
+  older session in `rig seat clean`'s advice
+  ([#1206](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1206)).
+- Leave a non-object `.claude/settings.local.json` or `.mcp.json` untouched
+  with a warning ([#1311](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1311)); stop
+  rewriting a Claude seat's settings when its status line is in place
+  ([#1286](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1286)); replace a
+  read-only collector copy by rename
+  ([#1251](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1251)); and remove the
+  launch script with `/bin/rm` or the shell's `rm`
+  ([#1310](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1310)).
+- Warn in `daemon.log` when an isolated `OPENRIG_HOME` still carries the real
+  `HOME` or `CODEX_HOME` ([#1299](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1299));
+  find Codex sign-in files in the real home when `HOME` is unset
+  ([#1418](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1418)); and treat an empty
+  `OPENRIG_HOME` as unset in the TUI socket, terminal token and `rig
+  crash-cart` ([#1470](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1470)).
+- Catch up an OMP seat's history past 1 MiB over its RPC protocol v2
+  ([#1279](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1279)); show the first
+  usable error field for a failed Pi or OMP turn
+  ([#1208](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1208)); resolve `rig
+  bootstrap` and `rig requirements` spec paths from your folder
+  ([#1213](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1213)); add `detail` to a
+  failed `rig create --json`
+  ([#1378](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1378)); and add `rig status
+  --json` ([#1291](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1291)).
+- OpenRig 0.6.12 adds `rig community-harness list` for installed
+  community-harness presets, showing their maintainer and declared limits.
+  These harnesses are not tested by OpenRig. Support is launch-only: no resume
+  or fork, no resource projection or startup-file delivery, and identity
+  remains unconfirmed. A quiet screen is not proof that the seat is idle
+  ([#1392](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1392),
+  [#1518](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1518)).
+
+### Sends, wakes and queue
+
+- Recognise Codex's `»` prompt in input boxes
+  ([#635](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/635)) and in `rig send
+  --verify` ([#1220](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1220)), and read
+  a Codex seat as needing a person only when a real prompt shows
+  ([#943](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/943)).
+- Keep a held-back wake from using up a one-shot park timer
+  ([#1222](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1222)); stop a watchdog
+  retired mid-check from delivering
+  ([#1325](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1325)) while recording its
+  last attempt ([#1439](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1439)); keep
+  a blocker's next wake when it changes mid-send
+  ([#1435](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1435)); and mark a row
+  served by its owner's own reminder `servedByOwnReminder`
+  ([#1424](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1424)).
+- Point an unverifiable `handed_off_to` close at `rig queue handoff` and flag a
+  self-targeted close ([#1358](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1358));
+  stamp a cross-host handoff's close with the sender's identity
+  ([#1333](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1333)); absorb an inbox
+  entry in one transaction
+  ([#1451](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1451)); and say to register
+  a person when none is
+  ([#1219](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1219)).
+- Say `--summary` is a row's subject in help, warnings and skills
+  ([#1354](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1354)), add it to the reply
+  hint ([#1355](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1355)), and show a
+  body's first line in the TUI's RECENT when a row has no summary
+  ([#1393](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1393)).
+
+### Status, transcripts and TUI
+
+- Say activity is unknown when `rig capture --lines` cut lines
+  ([#1226](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1226)); note when a `rig
+  ps` context filter needs `--nodes`
+  ([#1437](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1437)); stop a stopped
+  seat's transcript capture and keep its transcript readable
+  ([#1281](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1281)); report a quiet
+  pane as `capture_unchanged`
+  ([#1262](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1262)); and keep the first
+  line in `rig transcript --tail`
+  ([#1227](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1227)).
+- Label the TUI's proof count `accepted` or `paired`
+  ([#1288](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1288)); keep TUI helpers
+  working after the start folder is deleted
+  ([#1485](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1485)); send the window
+  width with terminal previews
+  ([#1205](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1205)); find headings with
+  combining marks ([#1471](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1471));
+  stop the Help list at its end
+  ([#1469](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1469)); ignore sideways
+  swipes ([#1458](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1458)); and keep
+  emoji whole in TUI rows
+  ([#1453](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1453)) and web UI log
+  previews ([#1454](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1454)).
+- Read an IPv6 HTTP host as reachable in `GET /api/hosts`
+  ([#1457](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1457)), and take
+  `?replay=0|<n>|all` on `GET /api/events`
+  ([#1387](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1387)).
+
+### Workflows, scope and proof
+
+- Stamp `--project`, `--mission`, `--slice` and `--tags` on a workflow's
+  packets ([#1273](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1273)); resolve a
+  `member@{rig}` target against the bound rig
+  ([#1293](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1293)); and pick up a
+  workflow spec restored with an older modification time
+  ([#1363](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1363)).
+- Show a slice parked on an `external:` gate as a waiting lane
+  ([#1303](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1303)); show a `merged:`
+  report on the merged rung
+  ([#1302](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1302)); and resolve a
+  dependency by a sibling's SPEC `id:`
+  ([#1372](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1372)).
+- Read CRLF files like Unix ones in SPEC intents
+  ([#1316](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1316)), checkbox blocks
+  ([#1315](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1315)), `PROGRESS.md`
+  ([#1314](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1314)) and artifact-pool
+  reads ([#1322](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1322)); read folded
+  evidence ([#1461](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1461)) and `1)`
+  mini-requirements ([#1460](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1460))
+  in the Scopes view; and refuse a scope-audit mission outside the slices root
+  ([#1221](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1221)).
+- Keep a saved mode and a posture side by side, with `rig mode unset
+  --category` ([#1274](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1274)); read
+  an unusable preview answer as unknown
+  ([#1283](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1283)); and mark the mode
+  fields nothing acts on
+  ([#1307](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1307)).
+
+### Usage, Slack and notifications

+### Known limitations
+
+- Managed compaction's 600-character budget rests on one comparison on Claude
+  Code 2.1.282, and nothing confirms compaction ran
+  ([#1483](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1483)). The plugin hooks

+  seat aren't serialized
+  ([#1344](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1344),
+  [#1475](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1475)).
+- One Slack app across machines was simulated in one process, not run on two
+  machines ([#1436](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1436)).
+- `rig policy current` and plain `rig ps` don't show a policy stored with
+  `--seat` ([#1285](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1285)).
+- The draft-aware guard can delay other work for a seat while it waits for
+  idle ([#1481](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1481)).
+- `rig up --env` is not forwarded for flat-node specs or v1 bundles, although
+  the launch may succeed. Do not rely on the flag for those formats in this
+  release ([#1294](https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig/pull/1294)).
+- `rig seat restart --keep-conversation` supports Linux only. The rig status
+  API can still fold a restore forecast into a running rig's status, and a
+  constructed Codex usage-limit screen can linger, as in 0.6.11.
+
+Thanks to everyone whose pull requests are in this release; they are listed in
+the release notes, with how it was tested.

+bypass. The unsigned record states the producer's choice; it does not authenticate the producer, establish trust,

+Compatibility change: previously accepted bundles containing these files now fail default creation and downstream

+- **Restart the daemon** (`rig daemon stop`, then `rig daemon start`). Twelve migrations run on the first start,
+  whatever you use: `100`, `104`, `105`, `107` to `115`. They add columns and tables for the typing guard's modes, a
+  seat's saved effort, Claude's cost estimate, Pi usage, mode and posture categories, workflow scope, seat environment
+  values, the Codex `--no-daemon` record and `sessions.agent_app`; build two indexes for recent queue activity (about
+  10 to 12 MB on a long-running install); and rebuild the Slack thread map. There are no migrations `102` or `106`.
+- **Claude seats now run the openrig-core plugin's hooks.** The bundled plugin goes from 0.1.9 to 0.1.13. A Claude
+  seat whose plugins include `openrig-core` (every shipped agent spec selects it) starts with `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIRS`
+  pointing at OpenRig's copy, so the activity relay, the compaction save and restore hooks and refocus actually run. It
+  needs Claude Code 2.1.280 or later, which nothing checks. A running seat picks it up at its next launch, restore or
+  handover. The refocus hook may take up to 60 seconds, so a hung refocus can hold a prompt that long.
+- **Six new settings, all off except one:** `output.whoami_peers` (8, used only while `output.compact` is on),
+  `bundle.services_enabled`, `provider.subscription_moves`, `usage.pi_cost_facts`, `usage.pi_openrouter_charge` and
+  `transport.verify_input_box`. See "Off by default" below.

 ## Output that changed shape

- **`rig queue create --verify` reports `outcome: "claimed"`** for a claimed row whose wake wasn't confirmed, instead
-  of `indeterminate`. A claim is pickup, not proof the body was read.
- **`rig queue create --verify` to a registered person who is also a seat with a pane reports the Slack side too.**
-  Beside the terminal wake it adds a `gateway` object: `posted` (`connectorAccepted: true`), `transport-failed` or
-  `never-posted` (`connectorAccepted: false`, with the detail), or `still-pending` (`connectorAccepted: null`). The
-  wait is still bounded by the existing 30-second default, and it can use all of it even when Slack isn't set up or the
-  row won't be posted; the Slack side then reads `still-pending`. Posted isn't read, and "This is not a failed handoff"
-  isn't shown when Slack reports a failed delivery. `GET /api/queue/:qitemId` returns `ownerNotificationLevel`, or
-  `null`.
- **`rig queue whoami --work-candidates` returns up to 50 held and 50 next rows,** with `heldTruncated` and
-  `nextTruncated`. `heldAndNextTruncated` now means either list was cut. With `OPENRIG_REFOCUS_WORK_PACKET` on (off by
-  default, as in 0.6.10), the refocus work packet lists held and next work separately, up to 50 each.
- **`rig ps --nodes --json` carries `intentionallyStopped`,** and `rig ps --nodes` shows `usage_limit` under REASON for a
-  Codex seat at its usage limit.
+- **Exit codes:** eleven client-fixable `rig queue update` refusals now answer HTTP 400 and exit 1 instead of 500 and
+  exit 2 (`blocker_not_found`, `blocker_not_live` and `blocker_malformed` still exit 2). `rig ask` exits 1 for an
+  unknown or ambiguous rig. `rig compact` exits 1 (was 2) for `pane_unknown_protected`, and its route answers 409 (was
+  502). Over the shared transport, a write that throws without a code makes `rig send` exit 1 with HTTP 409 instead of 2
+  with 500, and a guarded send whose text was written returns `sent: true` with `inputPhase: "written"`.
+- **`rig compact` and `rig compact --state` add a `compact` result:** `submitted_unconfirmed` (shown as "submitted,
+  unconfirmed"), `uncertain` or `not_sent`. "Submitted" means `/compact` and Enter reached the seat, not that compaction
+  ran.
+- **`rig capture --lines N --json`** adds `activity: "unknown"` and `activityNote` when lines were cut.
+- **`rig start --last --json`** carries `keptDown` (always) and `warnings` (`seat_status_unreadable`).
+- **`rig queue show <id> --full`** on a closed row adds `closingTransition`; plain `rig queue show` on such a row reads
+  `readView.complete: false` and lists it in `omittedFields`. `rig queue show` returns `resolution` when a close stored
+  one.
+- **After `rig down`,** `rig ps`, the TUI and the rig summary read the rig `stopped`, not recoverable, and
+  `hasLiveAgents` can read `false`.
+- **`rig seat status`** reads `Typing guard: on (hold)` for hold, and its JSON's `desired` and `effective` mean hold only;
+  `desiredMode` and `effectiveMode` give the mode.
+- **`rig usage top`** measures tokens and rates within one conversation and one window, so figures can drop and more
+  seats read `insufficient_samples`.
+- **The execution view** binds a row to a mission by its exact `mission:` tag first; `q1_lanes[].waiting` and
+  `folded.merge_report` are new.
+- **Smaller:** `rig create --json` carries `detail` on failure; `rig status --json` is new; `rig mcp serve` lists 23 tools
+  (five queue tools added); a JSON body of `null` gets 400 `invalid_json`; `GET /api/events` takes `?replay=`; a Slack
+  seat post's sender line ends `on <host id>`; `rig ps --nodes` `resumeCommand` can carry `--no-daemon`.

 ## Seats and restore

- **A restore no longer starts a seat fresh when an earlier occupant left a resume token.** If a seat wasn't running
-  when the snapshot was taken, but an earlier session recorded a resume token, `rig up --existing` and `rig launch`
-  stop that seat at `awaiting-decision` and start nothing, because the token doesn't prove that conversation can still
-  resume. `rig launch` of such a seat exits 1 where it used to start it fresh. The message names the command that
-  starts it fresh on purpose. See the known gap below for how this shows in the rig status API.
- **In a restore of a rig whose seats are in pods, a seat is rolled back as unresumable only when its runtime reports
-  the conversation missing.** When Claude, Codex or Pi reports that, the seat goes back to `awaiting-decision` and
-  nothing starts, instead of a failed launch that left the new pane behind. A rig where every seat ends this way reads
-  `partially_restored` instead of `failed`; the exit code is 1 either way. A Claude that exits to its shell for another
-  reason keeps 0.6.10's result: the seat is reported failed and its pane is kept, so you can read what happened. Restores
-  of rigs without pods keep their earlier handling.
- **`rig seat launch --fresh --stop` checks before it stops anything.** A seat with a still-live older session is
-  refused before the current agent is stopped; 0.6.10 stopped it first. `--plan` previews a fresh launch without
-  changing anything and exits 0 even when it would be blocked. `--reason` is required only to execute; leaving it out
-  reports `missing_reason`.
- **A seat you stop on purpose no longer makes its rig read `degraded`.** `rig seat stop` records the stop, and `rig ps`
-  and the TUI leave that seat out of the rig's state; running counts still exclude it. A rig whose seats were all
-  stopped this way reads `stopped`.
- **Restart one Codex seat in place, on Linux:** `rig seat restart <seat> --keep-conversation --reason "<why>"`
-  restarts it in its own pane on the same conversation, so it starts again on whatever account its Codex home now
-  holds. It doesn't switch accounts itself. Before it stops anything, it checks that the seat is a Codex seat OpenRig
-  launched, in a single pane, with a conversation it can prove, and that relaunching wouldn't change the running
-  settings; any doubt refuses with nothing stopped. `--plan` runs every check and stops nothing.
-  `--verify --expect-account <account>` reports `moved` only when a tool turn has completed in the same conversation
-  since the restart and Codex's status names that account.
-  On macOS, a request that gets as far as reading the running process refuses before stopping the seat, because that
-  reading depends on `/proc`.
- **A forked Claude seat launches with its own session ID** (`rig fork`, or `session_source: fork`), so strict restore
-  and clear-attention can verify it as its own conversation. Forking a Claude seat needs Claude Code 2.0.73 or later,
-  which OpenRig doesn't check. Forks launched before this keep reading `mismatch` until they're relaunched.
- **Seats no longer inherit the launching Claude Code or Herdr session's identity variables,** such as `CLAUDECODE`.
-  If removing them fails, the launch goes ahead with a warning.
- **A member's `cwd` in a rig spec can be `~`, start with `~/`, or use `$VAR` or `${VAR}`,** expanded from the daemon's
-  environment, when the path as written doesn't exist. `rig up` warns on stderr when it chose `/` as the launch folder
-  itself.
- **A late readiness result no longer overwrites a newer launch attempt.**
+- **`rig start --last` leaves down a rig stopped on purpose** (`rig down` or `rig seat stop`) and prints how to bring it
+  back: `rig start --rigs <rig>`, or `rig up '<name>' --existing`.
+- **An ordinary terminal seat relaunches fresh on restore** and re-runs its startup actions; don't answer `--fresh` for
+  it. A missing required startup file for such a seat blocks the whole restore before anything launches.
+- **Restore stops a seat whose current runtime differs from its snapshot's,** before launching it; `--fresh` doesn't
+  bypass it. Restore from a snapshot taken with the seat's current runtime.
+- **A slow Claude restore ends `attention_required`, not failed:** "Claude resume did not finish within Ns; Claude may
+  still be starting, so the launch was kept". Look at the pane, and once Claude is up run `rig seat clear-attention`.
+  Each such seat can add up to about the readiness timeout, one after another, so `rig up` can pass its 120-second
+  wait while the daemon keeps working: check `rig ps` before running it again.
+- **"Returned to a shell" now means the process tree shows an idle shell.** "The pane shows a shell that is not a proven
+  idle shell; a launch script may still be starting …" means the seat may still be coming up. A Pi or OMP seat at a
+  bare shell reads `attention_required`.
+- **A Codex fork whose new conversation ID arrives late** stops at `attention_required` with its startup context kept;
+  let it finish starting, then run `rig seat continue <seat>`. A handover to a Codex fork can complete with `Fork id:
+  PENDING`.
+- **A seat whose startup failed for a recoverable reason** becomes ready after a successful send or capture.
+- **`rig launch` takes a rig's name as well as its ID;** a name two active rigs share stops with `rig_ambiguous`.
+- **`rig add`, single-seat `rig launch` and `rig launch --seats` wait up to 120 seconds.** A timeout still isn't a
+  rollback.
+- **A runtime `--version` check gives up after 30 seconds.** `rig bootstrap` blocks on a runtime that's installed but
+  fails its check, reported apart from one that's missing; `rig up`'s preflight fails a Claude, Codex or OMP check that
+  doesn't answer (a warning for Pi).
+- **Claude login detection:** only a current refusal reads `login_required`, not the "Not logged in" footer alone.
+- **Model pins:** `fable` now names `claude-fable-5-1`, a trailing `[1m]` is set aside, and pinned Pi seats are checked
+  (a `:high`-style thinking suffix is accepted).
+- **A custom permission policy saved with CRLF line endings** now takes effect at the next launch or restore, instead
+  of the advisory floor.
+- **`rig scope mission create`** writes `status: planned`; set it `active` to count it in `rig proof show --project`.
+  With `--workspace <project>`, missions go under the project's declared `missions.root`.

-## Sends and wakes
+## Sends, wakes and the queue

- **`rig send --wait-for-idle N` waits before it takes the seat's delivery lease,** so other sends and queue wakes to
-  that seat aren't held behind a long wait. N is now a deadline from the start of the wait, including any time spent
-  waiting for the lease. A timeout names the wait you asked for.
- **A parked seat whose occupant is known isn't woken again for the same rows after a wake was delivered,** until it
-  updates one of them or one changes state. A failed, refused or unrecorded wake still repeats at the next park, and a
-  new occupant gets its first wake. "Delivered" means the wake was typed into the seat's terminal, not that the agent
-  read it.
- **`rig send --verify` confirms enveloped multi-line messages that the agent's screen indents,** and queue wakes use
-  the same check.
- **A Claude footer in auto, bypass or plan mode on the last line reads idle** when no activity hook is reporting.
- **A failed Pi or OMP turn shows the provider's own reason** when it gives one.
- **A `handed-off` closure with no visible successor** gets the same custody advisory and stuck-sweep finding as a
-  `done` closure.
+- **A send to a pane in tmux copy or view mode** leaves the mode and delivers; `pane_in_mode` means the pane couldn't
+  leave its mode. Leave it in that pane, then send again.
+- **`rig send --dangerously-interact` types exactly what you give it.** Enter is added only for a complete answer
+  staged in a recognised Claude Code or Codex input box; anywhere else, put CR in the payload. With `--verify` it reads
+  unchecked.
+- **A Codex seat reads "needs you" only when a real prompt is visible;** a pending permission request reads
+  `permission_request_pending` first, and an unreadable pane gets `permission_request_unverified` after a grace.
+  Codex's `»` prompt is recognised.
+- **Managed `/compact` is short enough to run and is sent only to an idle seat.** Confirm compaction by effect: the
+  restore request, or the drop in context.
+- **A held-back (`retained`) wake doesn't use up a one-shot park timer;** it's tried again at the interval. You don't
+  need to re-arm after one.
+- **A retired watchdog doesn't deliver a late wake.** A row parked on its owner's own repeating reminder reads
+  `servedByOwnReminder` in `rig parked` and draws no extra parked-owner wake.
+- **`rig queue update <id> --summary "<text>"`** alone corrects a row's subject. Close with **`--resolution
+  "<outcome>"`** to store the outcome on the row.
+- **`rig remove` and `rig shrink`** keep a seat that gets work while stopping (409, `retained: true`) unless
+  `--fallback` takes it. A stale `rig unclaim` is refused with `session_not_current`.

-## Status
+## New things you can do

- **A Codex seat at its usage limit stays `unknown` with reason `usage_limit`** while its screen redraws, instead of
-  reading `running`. It clears when a readable screen shows no banner, or when Codex shows it's working again. See the
-  known gap below.
- **`rig ps` takes a rig's running count and status from the same set of sessions as `rig ps --nodes`.**
- **`rig whoami --full --json` shows a Codex seat's `runtimeContext.threadId`** when its stored conversation ID was
-  verified resumable.
- **The TUI says when a queue sample hit its cap or failed to load:** counts read `N+`, a seat missing from the sample
-  shows `?`, and Pulse no longer lists a NEEDS YOU item a second time. The caps count the whole host, so a quiet rig can
-  read `?` while another rig is busy.
- **The TUI Topology table's Q, WORK and NOW columns fill again** on drilled views and on a seat's page.
+- **Set one seat's reasoning effort:** `rig seat set-effort <seat> --effort <level> --reason "<why>"` (or `--clear`); it
+  applies at the next managed launch, not to the running process. Check it with `rig seat effort <seat>`.
+- **Change a seat's stored permission policy:** `rig policy apply <policy> --seat <seat> --reason "<why>"`. `rig policy
+  current` and plain `rig ps` don't show it; `rig seat status` does.
+- **Give seats environment values:** `env:` on the rig or a member in `rig.yaml`, or `rig up <spec> --env KEY=VALUE` for
+  one launch. Never put secrets there.
+- **Scope a workflow run:** `--project`, `--mission`, `--slice` and `--tags` on `rig workflow instantiate` and `run`;
+  write a target as `member@{rig}` to follow the bound rig.
+- **Read cost:** `rig usage cost [--seat <session>] [--json]`. A missing figure is never $0, and Claude's figure is an
+  estimate, not an invoice.
+- **Hand work over without a shell:** `rig mcp serve` with `OPENRIG_SESSION_NAME` set gives `rig_queue_create`,
+  `rig_queue_show`, `rig_queue_list`, `rig_queue_claim` and `rig_queue_update`. Nothing wakes that agent.
+- **`rig status --json`:** treat `daemon.reachable: null` as unconfirmed, not down.
+- OpenRig 0.6.12 adds `rig community-harness list` for installed community-harness presets, showing their maintainer
+  and declared limits. These harnesses are not tested by OpenRig. Support is launch-only: no resume or fork, no
+  resource projection or startup-file delivery, and identity remains unconfirmed. A quiet screen is not proof that the
+  seat is idle. (#1392, #1518)
+- **Guidance:** the `rigs` skill offers to join the team before the first operator message, and offers Codex users one
+  removable rules file; `delegating-work` says to brief a peer by the model `rig ps --nodes --json` shows; the operator
+  reads `$OPENRIG_HOME/reference/keeping-a-watch.md` when asked to watch or remind, including a low-allowance warning.
+- User-visible text says "harness" for the agent software around a model, and "community harness" for one an outside
+  contributor maintains; `docs/reference/topology-naming.md` defines the terms. (#1506)

-## Smaller fixes
+## Off by default

- A Slack reply sent with "Also send to channel" in the default channel is recovered after a connection gap.
- `rig config set daemon.port` refuses a port outside 0–65535, and a port like that from the environment or
-  `config.json` falls back to the file or default with a warning. `rig daemon start --port` refuses one too, with exit 1.
- Parallel `rig scope slice create` calls get different slice numbers. A number is never reused, and each create leaves
-  a hidden `slices/.nn-NN` claim file.
- `rig proof show` and `rig proof judge` take `--project <id>` or a `<project>:` scope prefix. Scope readiness for a
-  project selected in the TUI uses that project's own root.
- The chat send and topic routes return 400 before storing anything for payloads that used to fail with 500;
-  `/api/wake-resolve` answers a fractional or non-numeric generation with its usual "does not exist" reply; watchdog
-  registration refuses a `scan_interval_seconds` that can't be turned into a number (non-numeric text, a boolean, an
-  empty array); and unmanaged-pane discovery matches agent
-  process names exactly, plus `claude.exe` and names cut to 15 or 16 characters.
- The `rigs` and `openrig-skills` skill descriptions split by who is asking: a person in their own session, or an agent
-  inside a rig.
- A new reference page covers keeping a watch for a person with today's queue commands, installed at
-  `$OPENRIG_HOME/reference/keeping-a-watch.md`. See the known gap below.
+- **`output.compact`** now also shortens `rig queue show` and `rig queue transitions` (`--full` for everything) and
+  bounds `rig whoami --json` peers to `output.whoami_peers` (`--all-peers` lists all).
+- **`provider.usage_windows`** now also shows Claude's windows, each seat's configured account and, with
+  `--all-hosts` or `--hosts`, every registered machine's windows. A Claude account's current availability always reads
+  `unknown`: don't tell a person an account has room from a seat's reading.
+- **`usage.pi_cost_facts`** and **`usage.pi_openrouter_charge`** take effect when a Pi seat next launches or resumes, not
+  at once; what was recorded stays visible after they're turned off.
+- **`provider.subscription_moves`** enables `rig provider moves`. The `openrig-user` skill's section for it mentions apps
+  that don't ship in this release.
+- **`bundle.services_enabled`**, **`transport.verify_input_box`**, the per-seat draft-aware typing guard (`rig seat
+  set-typing-guard <seat> --mode draft-aware`), `rig bundle create --include-login-files`, `OPENRIG_TMUX_CONTROL=1`
+  and `OPENRIG_REFOCUS_BUDGET_MS` (4500 to 52000) each act only when chosen.
+- **The daemon runs tmux without `/bin/sh`** on Linux and macOS; `OPENRIG_TMUX_SHELL=1` at daemon start keeps the old
+  path.

 ## What to stop doing

- **Stop expecting a restore to start a seat fresh** when an earlier session left a resume token; decide at
-  `awaiting-decision`, or use the command the message names.
- **Stop reading `indeterminate` as the answer for a claimed row** from `rig queue create --verify`; 0.6.11 says
-  `claimed`.
- **Stop treating `degraded` as a stopped seat's doing** after `rig seat stop`; the rig leaves that seat out.
- **Stop counting a long `--wait-for-idle` as extra time after the lease;** N is a deadline from the start of the wait.
+- **Stop looking up a rig's ID before `rig launch`;** the name works.
+- **Stop expecting `rig start --last` to bring back a rig taken down on purpose;** use `rig start --rigs <rig>` or `rig
+  up '<name>' --existing`.
+- **Stop counting on `--dangerously-interact` to press Enter;** put CR in the payload.
+- **Stop taking the preparation prompt's delivery as the compaction's result;** read the `compact` result and confirm by
+  effect.
+- **Stop answering `--fresh` for an ordinary terminal seat on every restore.**
+- **Stop branching on exit 2 for a fixable `rig queue update` refusal;** it's exit 1.
+- **Stop recreating a seat, or editing the database, to change its permission policy;** use `rig policy apply --seat`.

-## Known gaps in 0.6.11
+## Known gaps in 0.6.12

- **`rig seat restart --keep-conversation` supports Linux only.** Its automated tests are hermetic: they don't restart a
-  real Codex seat.
- **The rig status API can call a running rig `blocked` because of one seat that isn't running.** It happens when the
-  latest snapshot recorded no occupant for that seat, an earlier session of the seat left a resume token, and its newest
-  session's restore policy is `resume_if_possible`. A restore from that snapshot would stop at the seat for a decision,
-  and `GET /api/rigs/:id/status` folds that forecast into the rig's status, so it mixes current status with restore
-  readiness: no seat is halted. `rig status` and the TUI's rig list don't show it for a running rig.
- **A Codex seat can keep reading as at its usage limit** when an old usage-limit banner is followed by a submitted
-  prompt and the agent's reply, with no Codex working line and no input line below. It's recorded again every five
-  minutes, where 0.6.10 let it age out. The case was constructed from the source and hasn't been seen in a real
-  session.
- **The keeping-a-watch page says a timer fires once; a held-back wake uses up that fire.** When the typing guard holds
-  a one-shot `--wake-after` wake back (it shows as `retained`), that held-back attempt is recorded as the timer's one
-  fire and later wakes aren't, so the timer isn't retired: it can wake the owner again at each interval while the row
-  stays set aside. A row sharing the timer through `--wake-watchdog`, after the original row was handed off or stopped,
-  loses its one wake if that wake is held back. Read the row's transitions after each wake.
+- **Managed compaction's 600-character budget** rests on one comparison on Claude Code 2.1.282, and nothing confirms
+  compaction ran.
+- **The plugin hooks haven't run through this path in a real session,** and two hook runs for one seat aren't
+  serialized: a post-compaction record can be lost or a refocus delivered twice.
+- **One Slack app across machines was simulated in one process,** never run on two real machines. Relayed events are
+  trusted from the calling daemon, and `rig slack verify` on the hub doesn't check relayed channels.
+- **`env:` values aren't secret,** and members added with `rig grow` can't carry a member-level `env:`.
+- **`rig up --env` is not forwarded for flat-node specs or v1 bundles,** although the launch may succeed. Do not rely on
+  the flag for those formats in this release.
+- **The draft-aware guard waits for idle inside the seat's delivery lease,** which can delay other work for that seat.
+- **With `bundle.services_enabled` on, `rig up <file>.rigbundle` installs into the current folder** when no `--target` is
+  given.
+- **`rig seat restart --keep-conversation` supports Linux only,** and hasn't been re-run on 0.6.12.
+- **The rig status API can call a running rig `blocked`** because of one seat that isn't running: it folds a restore
+  forecast into current status.
+- **A Codex seat can keep reading as at its usage limit** in a constructed screen case not seen in a real session.
 - **After `rig scope slice create` says it couldn't verify membership, the slice was kept.** Check `mission.yaml` before
-  creating it again: creating it again makes a second slice with the same name.
- **The latest first-install check before this release used 0.6.10 on Linux only.** macOS was last checked with 0.6.8,
-  and native Windows hasn't been checked.
- **Only one selected lifecycle-help command has been checked in a live Claude session;** source and parser coverage
-  is broader. If a help command still asks, report it.
+  creating it again.
+- **A Claude Code seat whose permission request was approved automatically can still read "needs input";** the Codex
+  case is fixed.
 - **Codex team seats aren't asked before lifecycle commands yet.**
- **The send gate trusts the most recently recorded hook.** If hooks are recorded out of order, it can hold a send for
-  a question that's already answered, or miss one that's waiting. `rig capture` shows the real screen.
- **A Codex seat whose permission request was approved automatically can still read "needs input".**
+- **The send gate trusts the most recently recorded hook;** `rig capture` shows the real screen.
 - **A launched team still writes into its working folder;** the operator says what changes before you agree.
 - **After a restart, `rig status` shows `Kernel: skipped` whatever the kernel seats' state.** Read them with
  `rig ps --nodes --rig kernel --full`.
- **`rig tui --shared` still attaches on the default tmux server,** so it can't find the dashboard when the daemon runs
-  on a non-default tmux socket. Use `rig tui` there instead.

Mike Schwarz	e9e43dee8c	chore(text): say "harness" and "community harness", not "agent app", in user-visible text (#1506 ) User-visible text now says "harness" for the agent software around a model and "community harness" for a harness someone outside OpenRig maintains and installs as a preset. "Runtime" stays the broad category: the rig spec's `runtime` field and the TUI's runtime column, which also cover terminals and stubs. Changed wording: `rig agent-app`'s help and list output, the `rig ps` line for a community-harness seat ("Community harness (<seat>): …"), launch warnings, the fork, resume and start errors, the readiness reason, preset problems shown by `rig agent-app list`, `rig ps` and `rig up` preflight, the restore decision and error, one startup error, `docs/reference/agent-startup-guide.md` and `ROADMAP.md`. The human sentence in `agentApp.needsInput` now reads "from the screen only: no harness prompt pattern". `docs/reference/topology-naming.md` gains a table of what a seat runs: runtime, harness, community harness and terminal. Unchanged: the `rig agent-app` command, `GET /api/agent-apps`, the `agent-apps` preset folder, the `agent-app` runtime ID, the `agentApp` key, the `app_not_running` code, migration 114 and the `sessions.agent_app` column, and every decision code and condition. Internal identifiers keep their names until that code is next changed. Tests: three test files update their expected messages. The rendered docs and this branch's CLI help weren't checked by running them. (cherry picked from commit `191371d064`) Composition exception: omitted only the agent-startup-guide wording hunk because its set-cwd section is absent; the guide is unchanged.	2026-10-19 10:22:48 +00:00
Mike Schwarz	08d89e7bdd	fix(provider): a Claude account's availability stays unknown until its seats' readings are linked to it (#1504 ) A joined Claude account row no longer reports `currentAvailability: "known"` from readings it can't attribute to that account. The row joins the freshest status-line sample across seats to the daemon's last `claude auth status` login. A sample records a seat, a window, a percentage and a reset, but no account, and nothing links a seat's reading to the login it used when it sampled. So two situations read exactly like the right account: a seat on a different login whose window has the same reset, and a seat still on an earlier login after the daemon's login changed. In both, the row read "known" for an account whose room it hadn't measured. Changed result: with `provider.usage_windows` on (it's off by default), the joined Claude row's `currentAvailability` is now `"unknown"`, with `unavailableReason` "no sample-time link between these seats' readings and this login: a seat on another login, or still on an earlier one, reads the same, so this account's availability isn't known from them". Until a sample-time seat-to-account binding exists, that applies to every joined Claude row. "Unknown" isn't zero allowance, and it changes nothing about running work. The reason is in the structured row (JSON and the cross-host shape). The CLI and TUI print `unavailableReason` only for a row with no windows, so with windows present they show "current availability: unknown" with the existing identity note, not the new sentence. Unchanged: each window's reading and the seat it came from, the identity caveat that the seats aren't proven to share this login, the differing-reset guard, the frozen rows for earlier logins, and other providers. Tests: two cases in `provider-claude-usage.test.ts`, the same reset on another login and a seat still on an earlier login, both of which read "known" before this change and read "unknown" with the reason after it. One existing assertion changes from `known` to `unknown` plus the reason; that is the changed result. These are hermetic input cases; a native two-login check was not run. (cherry picked from commit `876f74941a`)	2026-10-19 09:06:06 +00:00
Mike Schwarz	27e39ba07d	fix(daemon): keep managed /compact short enough to run, send it only to an idle seat, and report it truthfully (#1483 ) Managed `/compact` on Claude seats runs as a command again, waits for an idle seat, and reports honestly what happened to it. Since 0.6.10 the managed `/compact` grew past what Claude Code takes as a slash command in one bracketed paste (a native comparison on Claude Code 2.1.282: 792 characters ran, 850 arrived as pasted text), so compactions arrived as text and didn't run while the attempt read as delivered. The automatic path also didn't wait for an idle seat. The change: - A 600 UTF-16 code-unit budget for the command. It always keeps the managed-compaction prefix the hooks recognise and a short trust note, then the map path and the policy's instruction if they fit. What doesn't fit moves to the restore map or the restore request, including the full trust-channel note. Bracketed paste is kept. - Automatic `/compact` waits for a pane-confirmed idle seat, as the manual path does, within the existing preparation deadline. - A new `compact` result (`not_sent`, `submitted_unconfirmed`, `uncertain`) beside the preparation prompt's `delivery`, in the compaction state, the trigger route and the CLI. `stage` values are unchanged, and nothing claims compaction ran. Changed results against main: 1. Shared transport: a guarded send whose text was written before an exception returns `sent: true` / `outcome: failed` / `inputPhase: written` (it returned `sent: false`); an issued but unconfirmed write returns `outcome: failed` / `inputPhase: attempted`. For an issued-write exception with no `code`, `rig send` gets HTTP 409 and exits 1, where it got 500 and exited 2. Queue classification is unchanged. 2. An established pre-input `draft_*` refusal ends automatic compaction as `not_sent`; a refusal after a paste stays `uncertain`. 3. An attempted or written `/compact` ends `uncertain`, with no automatic replay. Only a known pre-input idle deferral re-arms. 4. `--skip-map`: the restore request names a map completed at the attempt's path (final file, then `.tmp`, matched on the marker); otherwise it says no map was required. 5. Wording on every send: a failed Enter receipt says the submission outcome is unconfirmed, not "not submitted"; "Enter was not sent" only when the throw came before the Enter key reached the adapter. 6. Automatic `/compact` waits for a pane-confirmed idle seat. 7. A compaction-only refusal, `pane_unknown_protected`, for a running draft-aware seat whose binding records no tmux pane, on both paths, before any preparation or `/compact`. The manual trigger answers HTTP 409 where it answered 502, `rig compact` exits 1 where it exited 2, and the response carries no `preparation` or `compact` field for this refusal. A fresh attempt leaves no outbox rows or input effects; an attempt already under way is stopped and keeps its earlier `compact` evidence, and no old outbox rows are cleared. The check reads the guard's mode the way an automatic lease chooses it (desired draft-aware, else effective), so during a mode switch the manual path's refusal reason can differ; nothing is written to the seat either way. The premise behind item 7 was corrected in review: compaction never reached a protected seat with no recorded pane, idle or busy, because the input layer already refuses every write to a managed seat without a known pane. So the refusal removes nothing that works; it makes that case explicit and stops it leaving held `/compact` copies. Tests run through the real `SessionTransport` with a recording tmux, real draft-aware delivery and an outbox on a migrated database, including a real zero-input transport refusal and the pinned pane-less cases. Native compaction was not run on the build machine; the 600-character budget leaves about 190 characters of margin under the measured 792.

Mike Schwarz	e1073e46f1	docs(rigs): label measured tmux self-attach effects (#1496 ) The rigs skill's join offer now says which tmux effects were hand-tested and which come from the source, and what the agent's address is inside tmux. Inside tmux on 0.6.11, the agent tells the person that its sender and reply address is their existing tmux session name, even a number like `0`: `rig attach --self` returns that address, `rig whoami` confirms it, and `--display-name` does not change it. The tmux effects list is relabelled against a hand test on 0.6.11. Transcript recording and, for Claude Code, writing `.openrig/context-collector.cjs` and `.claude/settings.local.json` for the status line were observed. Other agents typing into the window, `rig down` closing the tmux session, and updating an existing `.claude/settings.local.json` while keeping its custom status line stay labelled as from the source. Before, every tmux effect was labelled from the source. The plain-shell recommendation and its effects are unchanged, and the packaged copy is identical. Text only.

Mike Schwarz	d276a863c4	Recommend joining the team before the first operator message (#1492 ) When a person's own Claude Code or Codex sets up OpenRig, the rigs skill now has it offer to join this session to the team before its first message to the operator, so the operator sees a named teammate instead of "unknown sender". The person says yes or no, and on a no the operator handoff carries on. In a plain shell the agent recommends joining, and the list says what was measured there: joining names the member and its messages, writes no files in the project or personal settings, other agents reply through the task queue because they can't type into the window, and stopping the team leaves the session running. Inside tmux the agent offers joining as optional, and the list says what the code does there (from source, not hand-tested): other agents can type into the window, stopping the team (`rig down`) also closes that tmux session, and it can record the session's transcript and, for Claude Code, write a status-line collector into the project. The first-contact command names where the kernel's rig ID comes from (`rig ps --json`). Everything else in the skill is unchanged, and the packaged copy is identical. Text only.

Mike Schwarz	6a8de79743	Guard bundled harness login files and record explicit inclusion (#1488 ) A rig bundle can be shared, and anyone with it can read what's inside, so `rig bundle create` no longer packs a harness login file by accident. It refuses `.claude/.credentials.json`, `.codex/auth.json` and `.pi/agent/auth.json`, at the top of an agent folder or carried project or nested anywhere inside one, and the message names the file, says anyone with the bundle could read it, and says how to fix it: remove it and build again, or, only if recipients should have this login (for example, your own internal test bundle) and its owner agrees, recreate with `--include-login-files`. That opt-in is off by default. It records the exact archive paths of the login files actually included (`included_login_files` in the manifest), and verify, unpack, inspect, the install plan and bootstrap accept only those recorded paths, each with a visible notice. An unrecorded login file, an extra file, a malformed, directory, wildcard or traversal record, or a hash mismatch still fails. The record is the creator's unsigned declaration, not proof of consent, trusted origin or safe credentials. There's no machine setting, force or wildcard. The check extends the existing shared sensitive-file predicate and integrity verifier, so ordinary `auth.json` files elsewhere and other harness files are unaffected. One fixed-time ordinary v2 bundle and one v1 bundle were checked byte-identical to main's. Changed results: 1. A bundle that contains one of the three login files, created today without the flag, is now refused, and no archive is written. 2. Existing archives that hold one of those files without a record now fail verify, unpack and install (install returns 400, even with --force or --skip-version-check). Inspection stays a 200 diagnostic with integrity false, and the CLI exits 2. 3. The CLI author check now reports login-file findings, and the CLI and web bundle inspector now show integrity errors. 4. Inspecting a v1 bundle whose manifest can't be parsed or normalized now returns the 200 diagnostic ("Invalid v1 manifest: …"), the same as v2 already did, where it used to fail with 500. Install, verify and unpack are unchanged for those. Notices and errors name paths, never file contents. (cherry picked from commit `61b4d1a816`)	2026-10-19 09:06:04 +00:00
Mike Schwarz	7b1300284c	docs(readme): clarify that only the older web UI is in maintenance mode (#1491 ) The README's overview line read as if the whole project were in maintenance mode. It now says that OpenRig itself is under active development, and that only the older React web UI is in maintenance mode, with best-effort support. One line, text only.
