fix(server): an ACP removal reports the choice the select lands on, and the Codex plan tests enable plan mode

A removal asks the select for its empty choice and compared the result against that
same empty choice, so applyOptions returned nothing and the manager stored the removal
as null while the session ran the Default choice. The difference is now computed against
what was asked (null), so the options hold the value the session runs with.

The Codex plan-mode end-to-end tests called the removed session.setFeature through an
optional call and silently skipped plan mode; they apply the option and fail loudly if
the method is gone. The MCP parity wrapper forwards listControls instead of the removed
listFeatures.

-Sizes: `xs` for ultra-tight inline triggers. `sm` for any button sitting in a row. `md` is the page default. `lg` is reserved for large standalone CTAs.
+Controls come in two sizes, defined once in `control-geometry.ts`. The default is the right size almost everywhere — pages, dialogs, forms, settings rows, the setup flow — so don't pass a size. It is 32px tall where a pointer drives it and 44px in the compact layout, so every phone control is a full touch target; the breakpoint, not the caller, makes that choice. `sm` is 28px with `fontSize.sm` labels and is for tight chrome only: toolbars, nested settings rows, dense inline row actions. A `size="sm"` on an ordinary page or dialog is wrong, and so is choosing a size from `useIsCompactFormFactor()`.
 
-Sizes are a shared contract across control kinds, defined once in `control-geometry.ts`: `xs` = 28px tall with `fontSize.sm` labels, `sm` = 32px with `fontSize.base`, `md`/`lg` = 44px with `fontSize.base`. `<SegmentedControl>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/segmented-control.tsx`) takes the same `xs`/`sm`/`md` sizes — a segmented control next to a `<Button>` of the same size always matches in height, label size, and corner radius. Its segments run one padding step tighter than a button, because the gap between segments already reads as padding. The selected segment is a `surface3` fill with `foreground` text, not an inverted one — inverting it inside thin chrome puts a white slab in the toolbar. Text fields take `xs`, `sm` and `md`. Thin chrome such as the file toolbar uses `xs`. A settings row sizes the controls in its trailing slot itself, `sm` in a card and `xs` when nested (`packages/app/src/components/ui/control-size.tsx`), so don't pass a size to a button, dropdown or field placed in a row. Never shrink a control's font or padding locally to fit a context — if the context needs a smaller control, the size tier is missing or the wrong one is in use.
+Buttons are pills (`borderRadius.full`) with medium-weight labels; an icon-only button is a circle. `<Switch>` follows the same two sizes: a 34×20 track by default and in `sm`, 44×26 in the compact layout, and it reserves its size's control height so a row holding one lines up with a row holding a button. Buttons, text fields, dropdown triggers, and `<SegmentedControl>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/segmented-control.tsx`) share the size contract — the same size name means the same height and label size on every control kind, so controls in one row line up. Segments run tighter than a button, because the gap between segments already reads as padding. The selected segment is a `surface3` fill with `foreground` text, not an inverted one — inverting it inside thin chrome puts a white slab in the toolbar.

 - **Workspace-owned state** — Per-workspace state that never leaks to a same-`cwd` sibling: tabs, agents, terminals, panes, title, plus review drafts, diff-mode overrides, composer attachments, and file-explorer open/expand state. Keyed by `workspaceId` (`cwd` only as a fallback for old payloads). See [architecture.md](architecture.md#right-sidebar-boundary-directory-backed-vs-workspace-owned).
 - **Last prompt** — Sidebar workspace sort by the most recent human prompt recorded by an agent in that workspace, including archived agents. Agent output, agent-to-agent messages, scheduled prompts, and opening a workspace do not count. A workspace without a human prompt uses its creation time.
 - **Workspace status bucket** — Aggregate activity signal for a workspace row. Same-`cwd` workspaces intentionally share agent and terminal status buckets, while tab, agent, and terminal visibility remains scoped by `workspaceId`.
+- **Background agent** — An agent hidden from default discovery and from app surfaces that announce agents: tabs, the subagent track, agent lists, workspace status and attention. It is otherwise an ordinary durable agent, addressable by id. An agent is effectively background when it or its workspace is background. Fixed at creation. Code: `background` on `AgentSnapshotPayload` and `create_agent_request`. See [agent-lifecycle.md](agent-lifecycle.md#background-visibility). Don't confuse with background work (provider shells and monitors) or the daemon's private internal helpers, which are never public ([agent-lifecycle.md](agent-lifecycle.md#private-daemon-helpers)).
 - **Agent session** — One running instance of an agent inside a workspace (one provider, one model, one cwd, one timeline). The conceptual unit; in the UI this opens as a tab. Moving toward this as the canonical term over "Agent". Code: `AgentSnapshotPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:608`).
 - **Session** — Two senses: (a) per-client connection to a daemon, internal; (b) user-facing agent session, see **Agent session**. Code: `Session` (`packages/server/src/server/session.ts`) for (a). Don't confuse with: provider-side agent session log.
 - **Profile** — Internal name for the persisted shape of a host. Code: `HostProfile` (`packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37`). Never user-facing. Three other things are called "profile" in this codebase, so always qualify: **Agent profile**, **Terminal profile**, and the provider aliases in [custom-providers.md](custom-providers.md). Bare "profile" is forbidden in UI copy.

+# Keyboard shortcuts
+
+Define shortcuts in [the shared binding table](../packages/app/src/keyboard/keyboard-shortcuts.ts). Platforms contribute key sources, not separate action maps, so matching and user rebinds stay consistent across runtimes. Add a shortcut through a binding; add platform support through a key source.
+
+## Badges and routing
+
+Routing runs whenever the app mounts its key sources, independently of layout.
+Use `useHardwareKeyboardPresent()` for hints and the Shortcuts settings section.
+iOS reads `GCKeyboard.coalesced` and connection notifications. Android watches input
+devices and hardware keyboard configuration. Web starts with a fine hover pointer and recognizes the first modified
+keydown, including on touch devices. Compact Electron keeps its bindings.
+
+Keyboard navigation needs the sidebar's filtered workspace model even when its visual
+panel is hidden. Retain that model while keyboard navigation is active; gating it on
+panel visibility leaves number shortcuts with no targets after a compact startup.
+
+Composer send-key customization remains a separate capability. Native retains its
+existing Return submission path; advertising its web-only customization would expose
+settings the native composer does not implement.
+
+## Native sources
+
+Use the iOS window press stream for hardware keys. `UIKeyCommand` only takes keys
+that must bypass the focused text control: composer Return and the top overlay's
+Enter and arrows. Keep the stream as the sole shortcut emitter: a command-owned
+press is still observed by the window.
+
+The source spike used an iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) simulator on iOS 18.6 with a
+`UITextView` first responder. Both `UIWindow.sendEvent` and the root controller's
+`pressesBegan` received Cmd+B, Cmd+P and Escape. With Escape registered as a
+`UIKeyCommand`, the window observed it and the command handler also ran.
+
+Simulator reserves Cmd+K for Toggle Software Keyboard. Injecting it produced
+HID 184 with empty characters rather than K; plain K, Cmd+B and Cmd+P arrived
+normally. Keep Simulator input capture off: Send Keyboard Input to Device
+prevented synthetic AppleScript input from arriving, including plain text.
+For simulator QA, use Cmd+B/P to check delivery and rebind the command center to
+Cmd+J to check toggle and rebind behavior. Cmd+K delivery needs a physical iPad.
+Simulator also reserves Cmd+1…4, Cmd+Shift+A and Cmd+comma. Exercise those actions
+through rebinds. For numeric injection, use AppleScript physical key codes (for example
+25 for 9); `keystroke "9"` did not deliver a digit in the QA session.
+Simulator exposes a virtual `GCKeyboard` even with Connect Hardware Keyboard off.
+Verify the iOS absence case on a physical iPhone.
+
+Never register Backspace: it would take deletion away from text fields. Changes
+to the native module require a native rebuild; an over-the-air JavaScript update
+cannot deliver them.
+
+## Overlay ownership
+
+Register keyboard handling with `useOverlayRegistration` from `@/keyboard`.
+Pass the surface's open state, layer, handled keys and `onKeyDown`. The highest
+layer gets first refusal; the latest registration wins a tie. Native registration
+does not need a DOM ref. Web adds focus trapping and restoration through its adapter.
+
+Capture a global overlay’s layer in state for its opening lifetime. Memo caches can
+be discarded or removed by React Compiler; recomputing against the registry lets an
+open modal rise above its own children and creates competing focus traps.
+
+Declare Enter and arrow keys only while the surface owns them. Native sources
+use the top overlay's declarations to take those keys before text controls edit.
+Backspace stays with the focused input. Composition confirmation must not select
+an overlay row or submit the composer.
+
+Android modals have their own windows. Observe them through React Native's
+`ExtraWindowEventListener` as well as the activity window. The dev client bypasses
+Expo's root-container handler, so an activity root-view wrapper misses presses.
+A modal can forward an unhandled event into the activity window. Observe the event
+once across that nested delivery without retaining recycled Android `KeyEvent`s.
+Keep an overlay-owned press consumed through key-up, even if its key-down closes
+the overlay; otherwise the modal's default Escape handler can close a second layer.
+
+iOS scene startup installs the observing window after Expo creates its root view.
+Keep that integration in the hardware keyboard module's config plugin. Its window
+owns both the press stream and the text-control key commands, including above modals.
+
+## Focus scopes
+
+The composer and terminal declare focus with `useKeyboardFocusSurface`. Native
+scope derives from those declarations and command-center state. Releasing an old
+surface must not clear a newer owner's declaration during a tab switch. Web keeps
+its DOM-derived scope.
+
+Escape interrupts an agent only in the message input or an unclaimed surface.
+A focused terminal excludes that binding. The source leaves terminal Escape alone;
+terminal Escape/Ctrl forwarding is a separate feature.

+A subscription is a session-owned observation (`plugin-rpc` delivery family): the session that

+Each subscriber gets its own handler call in the subprocess; there is no fan-out or replay. The

+and `plugin-subscriptions.perf.e2e.test.ts` locks that. Keep it that way: never stringify a plugin

+### Options flow
+
+`options` on the agent snapshot is the only option state. Controls describe how to draw an
+option and read `options`; they hold no value of their own. Any option can be read and set with
+or without a control.
+
+- **Create and resume.** The provider opens with the options it is given and emits nothing about
+  them while opening. `openOptionsPatch` carries every option the session ended up with that
+  differs from what it was given, including a setting nobody asked for (a native default such as
+  Cursor opening with Fast on). It is set before `createSession`/`resumeSession` resolves and the
+  daemon stores it before the agent is published. A reopened agent resumes that state, so a
+  native default the provider later changes does not follow. `options` on the snapshot is what
+  the session opened with, and afterwards it moves only through an apply or an `options_changed`.
+  Editing a provider default in `config.json` affects agents the next time they open.
+- **Live apply.** `applyOptions` receives the keys the patch touches, resolved against the
+  `config.json` defaults. A removal arrives as the default the key falls back to, or `null` when
+  there is none; the provider returns the setting to its own default if it can, or throws to
+  reject. A key the running session cannot apply (one the provider reads only when it opens) is
+  rejected too, so a stored option always describes what runs. Claude reads most options when it
+  starts its query, and replacing a started query would end its background work, so after the
+  first prompt only Fast can change. Codex fixes its approval policy and sandbox when the thread
+  starts, so it applies only `service_tier` and `plan_mode` live. A session with no
+  `applyOptions` rejects every patch; the daemon enforces this. The provider returns the options
+  it ended up with when they differ from the request. The daemon
+  stores the patch and that result in one step after the call resolves, onto the agent's options
+  as they are at that moment, so the last write wins. Throwing rejects the whole patch and
+  none of it is stored. Emit nothing from inside the call. If the provider's own state moved
+  before it refused, it reports the moved values once as `options_changed` after the call has
+  ended, because the stored options must match what runs.
+- **Old data converts in the agent manager.** Codex used to take `fast_mode`; it takes
+  `service_tier` now. `AgentManager` runs `convertLegacyOptions` (`option-controls.ts`) on an
+  agent's own options when it creates, resumes, imports, reloads or applies to it, and on draft
+  controls, before defaults merge and before anything is stored (`true` is `"fast"`, `false` is
+  `"default"`, and a `service_tier` in the same input wins). The manager converts for the adapter
+  behind the provider id, following `derivedFromProviderId`, so a custom provider with
+  `extends: "codex"` is converted too. Configured defaults convert in the provider registry. A
+  stored record keeps `fast_mode` until the agent is next opened or applied to, and is stored
+  converted from then on. Nothing past the manager sees `fast_mode` for Codex. Codex resolves
+  `"fast"` to the model's Fast tier and reports the id it runs through `openOptionsPatch` or the
+  `applyOptions` result like any other value. The `featureValues` to `options` fold is separate
+  and provider-agnostic; it stays at the protocol and legacy edges.
+- **Provider-initiated changes.** A setting the provider changes on its own is an
+  `options_changed` event. The daemon stores and forwards it and does not push the old value back.

-Draft metadata lookups should avoid creating provider sessions when the upstream provider has top-level APIs for that metadata.
