One host registry serves every composition in the process, so its two
service-wide collections answered per-owner questions process-wide. `start()`
asked only whether SOME surface was attached, so an agent whose own composition
loads no `tool-tasks` could start work it has no tool to collect or stop as soon
as any other preset attached one — and the answer changed depending on which
sessions happened to be open. `settle()` walked every registered listener, so a
task settling without a waiter injected one completion notice per mounted
preset into the same owner.
Both collections now sit in `ScopedLayers`, the layered-registry primitive
`tools` and `skills` already use: a registration files into its registering
context's scope, and a read unions the global layer with the owner's scope
chain. A surface or listener registered from an unscoped context lands in the
global layer and serves every owner, which is exactly the host-plane
composition's own controls, so the TUI path is unchanged without a special
case.
This supersedes the consumer-side filter in the previous commit. That filter
produced the right notices but sat in the wrong layer: it left the `start()`
gate process-wide, it could not be enforced against a producer that resolves
the registry directly, and it made a Consumer carry scope knowledge that the
other layered registries keep in the registry. `tool-tasks` is scope-agnostic
again and the `dsh-scope` edge moves to `tasks-local`.
`start()`'s refusal is now owner-relative, so its model-visible text names the
agent rather than the process. The shipped `minimal` preset keeps
`enableRunInBackground: false`, no longer as the safety boundary — the registry
owns that now — but so an agent that could never collect a task is not offered
the parameter at all.
Refs #2141
The frame carried `agentPreset` for surfaces that label the session, but
nothing consumed it: `noteAgentPreset` ran only in the switching tab's RPC
callback, so a second connected client refetched its catalogs while its
session row — the header label's source, and the hero chip's no-op input —
kept the composition the session had replaced.
`SessionManager.handleHostEnvelope` now folds the frame like the other
session frames. Re-applying the switching tab's own frame is a no-op: the
merge lowers `blank` only and keeps the row's `updatedAt`.
Presets own the rows that decide what a session's `/` menu contains, but
both browser catalogs cache per session and had no invalidation edge for a
recompose: `commands/changed` is registry-wide and recomposing registers
nothing, so the menu kept serving the composition the session no longer ran.
The host stream now frames the logged `agent-preset/selected` commit as
`host/session-preset-changed`; the runtime bridges it to the typed
`session/preset-changed` event, `ui-command` soft-refreshes that session's
directory key and `ui-skill` invalidates its catalog entry.
Reaching the host on a second switch was a separate defect: the list-row
identity guard compared every summary field except `agentPreset`, and the
merge keeps the row's `updatedAt`, so a switched row looked unchanged and
served its cached instance forever. The hero chip compares the pick against
that row, so switching back to the creation-time preset sent no RPC at all.
`tool-bash` resolves the background-task registry with `ctx.get('tasks')`,
and it sits at the preset's top level. The registry sat inside an
entry-local `isolate: { tasks: true }` realm, which is invisible to every
sibling row outside it, while the Web surface disabled the host row — so
both lookups missed and every `run_in_background` call answered
"background tasks unavailable" with `task_output`, `task_list`, and
`task_kill` still listed in the catalog. `task_list` returning
"(no background tasks)" is what made the outage read as an empty queue
rather than a severed producer.
That is the `goals` criterion read from inside the preset: a Service a row
outside its realm READS belongs to the plane both can see. `tasks` already
keys access by owning agent (`assertAccess` compares `task.owner.id`) and
mints an independent token per `attachSurface` call, so one host instance
serves every session exactly as before presets — the per-preset-standing-mounts
note records that sharing `tasks-local` is a return to its design.
`minimal` mounts no `tool-tasks`, and the `start()` control-surface gate is
a service-wide set that another preset's controls would open for it, so its
`tool-bash` disables `run_in_background` and drops the parameter from the
schema.
Fixes#2141
The SVG media query alone fixes the dark-mode icon for every SVG-capable
browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari 26+); the PNG only served Safari
versions before 26, which is a shrinking legacy audience not worth a second
asset, its manifest/link declarations, and the extra test surface. index.html
and the manifest are back to the single SVG icon.
Review found the `onTasksChanged` teardown reasoning inverted. The comment
claimed every registration is an effect on the registry's own fiber, so
listeners would be gone before service disposal empties the store — but the
traceable proxy rebinds `this.ctx` to the CALLER, which this package's own
HMR-safety test already proves. The only shipped consumer registers from the
api-proxy mux stream, so it was still listening and simply kept the rows it
last received. Service disposal now announces the emptied set, and teardown
announces its stopping transition immediately instead of leaving an observer
on `running` for however long a slow producer takes to release.
Two documentation claims were false in the opposite direction: the Agent Note
and the ui-task README both said an unowned task is invisible in the header,
while `list(caller)` returns unowned tasks to every caller, the carrier fans
their changes out to every subscribed session, and this PR's own test asserts
exactly that. The note even contradicted itself two sections earlier. Both
sides now state the real asymmetries — another session's tasks, and the
process-local registry emptying on restart.
The "no Web path calls the consuming `ctx.tasks.read()`" invariant claimed a
test that did not exist; the carrier suite's producer had no `readOutput` at
all, so a stray read would have failed nothing. Its producer now counts cursor
consumption and the lifecycle and baseline paths both assert zero.
Also: a session created after the mux opened now receives the task baseline it
missed, the popover samples its clock when it opens rather than at mount, and
a failed task's unbounded producer detail elides instead of widening the row.
The pwa-manifest e2e now asserts the shipped 32x32 PNG is a valid non-empty
PNG of the declared dimensions, that the PNG link precedes the SVG link in
the built index.html (the spec selects the last equally appropriate icon),
and that the light fill lives inside the dark-scheme media query while the
light-mode default stays black.
