* fix(agents): restore archived Codex workspaces without losing focus
History selection must survive without cached agent records, and reading an archived Codex thread must not acquire an interactive writer. Keep workspace restore explicit, serialize native lifecycle transitions, and leave transcript lifetime with its owner.
* test(app): express Codex restore specs as user journeys
* test(app): finish restore fixture cleanup after teardown errors
* test(app): align restore coverage and await fixture readiness
Workspace restore leaves agents archived until explicit Unarchive. Keep that distinction covered for multiple agents. Compile the recovery fixture before its interaction test starts, and wait for sidebar agent hydration before asserting tab presence.
* Revert "Restore cached conversations before reconnecting (#4421)"
This reverts commit 1c51b52d07.
* fix(app): restore provider loading on native
* fix(app): preserve native navigators across appearance changes
Reapply the isolated appearance boundaries and native menu transform origin from #4421 so appearance hydration preserves native navigator and gesture host lifetimes.
* fix(app): retain cached baselines during live updates
Read the timeline concurrently with agent preparation and reconcile display-only cache rows beneath the live head using the existing reducer. Merge cached directory entries beneath live state while preserving the existing checkpoint race guard.
* fix(app): restore cached conversations before reconnecting
Give each host one timeline write authority so cache restores, live events and fetched pages publish consistent rows and coverage. Persist a moving 40-entry restart page independently of loaded scrollback, and keep native navigation mounted while startup settings hydrate.
* fix(app): recover cache writes after initialization failures
Keep accepted writes pending and retry initialization without another UI update. Publish the storage index only after loading succeeds, while queued host identity changes still settle in order.
* test(app): wait for sidebar and workspace transitions
Viewport intersection and leaving the creation route can precede completed UI transitions. Wait for the layering hit test and selected agent tab before asserting or navigating again.
* fix(app): restore provider loading on native clients
The native AbortSignal lacks throwIfAborted, so successful provider responses failed before reaching every model selector. Preserve both cancellation boundaries using the supported aborted property and the existing query cancellation error.
* perf(app): restore live sessions immediately after resume
Foregrounding now reconnects every host without waiting for scheduled backoff, while cached turns, timelines, agents, and workspaces remain internally consistent until authoritative catch-up arrives. Replica persistence is keyed and incremental so ordinary updates avoid whole-directory serialization.
* fix(app): preserve turn ownership through session updates
Stream turn closure now wakes queued-message delivery, while same-turn snapshots retain local cancellation state. Offline liveness remains visible until an authoritative close arrives.
* fix(app): preserve pending chat cache writes and trim resume refactor
Directory baseline replacement must preserve independently accepted timeline changes until the deferred flush. Keep the reconnect and persistence fixes while removing the session-data facade and broad read-hook migration.
* fix(app): initialize reconnect policy from current app state
Initialize visibility before host bootstrap so a background mount cannot leave reconnect enabled. Seed sidebar fixtures through the workspace owner so cache hydration preserves their rows.
* test(app): verify submission settlement across reconnect
Keep submission acknowledgement separate from turn liveness: disconnect preserves the running turn until authoritative catch-up. Wait for confirmed running chrome before exercising queued cancellation so the alternate-send shortcut cannot race turn startup.
* docs: remove cache implementation recap
