fix(app): keep the context meter's details open after a tap

Ignoring the focus that follows a touch press applied to every hover card,
so on a wide touch screen the context window meter's details opened on the
tap and closed again after the close grace. Whether a card ignores touch is
now one decision on HoverCard, used for both the touch's pointerenter and the
focus after it. The workspace row opts in; the meter keeps opening on a tap.

 # Changelog
 
-## 0.16.0-beta.1 - 2026-11-10
+## 0.16.0-beta.2 - 2026-11-11
 
 - **Background tasks:** Paseo now shows the background tasks an agent is running, such as shells and monitors, above the composer, with a Stop button for each. Works with Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode v2. ([#6220](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/6220), [#9162](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9162) by [@fxlelouarn](https://github.com/fxlelouarn))
-- **Faster diff loading:** Opening Changes shows the file tree right away while file contents load. Large diffs arrive in batches, so the rest of the app keeps responding while they load, and diffs take priority over the daemon's background worktree scans. ([#8907](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8907), [#9241](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9241), [#9243](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9243))
-- **Fewer reconnects on return:** Returning to the app keeps a working connection, including one in the middle of a large response, and reconnects once when it has to. On a host with several saved connections, Paseo stays on the one that works. ([#8651](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8651), [#9086](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9086), [#8855](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8855), [#9116](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9116))
-- **Keyboard shortcuts on mobile:** With a keyboard connected, iPad and Android now run the same shortcuts as desktop, including your custom bindings. Shortcut hints and Settings → Shortcuts appear when a keyboard is detected. Shortcuts also work in narrow desktop and browser windows. ([#8625](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8625) by [@jeroenfrenken](https://github.com/jeroenfrenken), [@lstroud](https://github.com/lstroud))
-- **Touch-sized tablet controls:** On iPad and other touch-screen devices, the wide layout now has touch-sized buttons, rows and bars. The composer toolbar folds its controls into the model menu when space runs out, and swiping right on the workspace reveals a collapsed sidebar as an overlay. ([#8748](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8748), [#8885](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8885), [#8891](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8891), [#8909](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8909), [#9151](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9151), [#9238](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9238), [#8739](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8739) by [@zeyugao](https://github.com/zeyugao))
 - **Plugin sidebar views:** A plugin can replace the sidebar's content with its own layout of workspaces, agents, projects and terminals across every connected host. Pick the view per device under Settings → Sidebar; Paseo's sidebar header and footer stay in place. ([#8906](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8906))
 - **Plugin composer controls:** Plugins can add their own controls to the composer, and read and set its prompt, attachments, provider, model, mode and thinking. They can also put the cursor in any agent's composer, add items to New workspace, and store their own metadata on agents and workspaces. ([#8744](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8744), [#9209](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9209), [#9207](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9207))
+- **Faster diff loading:** Opening Changes shows the file tree right away while file contents load.

 - **Polish:** The chat stays still when a turn ends, and returning to a chat that has not changed shows it as it is with no refresh. Tool rows show their final title and icon from the first frame, the context window popover opens with usage already loaded, and sidebar hover cards open one at a time. ([#8944](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8944), [#9175](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9175), [#9242](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9242), [#9248](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9248), [#9212](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9212), [#9071](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9071))
 - **Rebuilt mobile chat timeline:** The chat timeline on iOS and Android was rebuilt. Expanding or collapsing a turn summary, todo card or tool-call group keeps the line you tapped in place, and on Android so do Show more, Show less and plan cards. ([#8717](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8717), [#9085](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9085))
+- **Keyboard shortcuts on mobile:** With a keyboard connected, iPad and Android now run the same shortcuts as desktop, including your custom bindings.

 - **Undo workspace archive:** Archiving a workspace in the app now shows a "Workspace archived" toast for six seconds. Undo, or Cmd/Ctrl+Z, restores the workspace with its tabs and agents. On desktop, sidebar workspace rows also get an archive button on hover. ([#8904](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8904), [#9104](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/9104))
+- **Fewer reconnects on return:** Returning to the app keeps a working connection, including one in the middle of a large response, and reconnects once when it has to.

Both versions use the daemon's private loopback bridge for caller-scoped tools. The global manifest must use agent-scoped schemas before a session is bound, because every bridge call executes in an agent session. V2 discovers definitions from each bound session's catalog: plugin-contributed tools can be absent from the global manifest, and an allowlist cannot register a missing definition. Registration is location-wide, so session filtering and caller-scoped execution must remain in place. Bridge context lives only in daemon memory and is removed when the Paseo session closes.

 An agent with custom environment variables or user-configured MCP servers gets a dedicated OpenCode server. V2 supports session environment, but its MCP configuration remains location-scoped, so separate servers still prevent one agent from changing another agent's MCP setup. Configure custom MCP with `mcp.add`; do not follow it with `mcp.connect`, which only toggles config-backed servers.

+# Pi resumed subagents — #9200
+
+## Scope and provenance
+
+An AI agent ran this QA through Playwright/CDP attached to the **real macOS Electron renderer**, using an isolated desktop-managed daemon. The user authorized the run; this is not a claim that the user personally operated the UI. No production daemon, installed package, or daily host configuration was changed.
+
+Desktop evidence was captured on the modified **0.15.3 development checkout** at base `e260f93cc7b6098f6b175bd0e5c7eb24d3f03cf4`, with Electron 44.2.0, Pi 1.5.0, and installed pi-subagents 0.86.0. The final branch was subsequently fast-forwarded to `d46ee6558c043f9fb377d20f05ff662ce27a31f6` (0.15.4). The adapter and test file stayed byte-for-byte identical. The lockfile changes only workspace version references; third-party dependency entries did not change. Server declarations were rebuilt and the checks below passed on the final base. **These screenshots are not a 0.15.4 release-package test.**
+
+## Before and automated checks
+
+Issue #9200 reports ordinary async spawn appearing in the track while successive successful resumes disappear. The original adapter rejects any `action` and requires top-level `agent`/`task`, which a resume does not supply. A separate file-only transcript deduplication also prevents a new attempt row from following Pi's reused session file.
+
+[Captured command output](validation.txt) contains:
+
+- RED on the original adapter: a successful resume returns no descriptor instead of a running row.
+- RED on the intermediate implementation with old file-only deduplication: the next resumed row gets no transcript.
+- Final **21/21** tests passing, including consecutive resumes with a real shared temporary JSONL, polling, notice/replay routing, late old-notice isolation, `bg_wait`, failed/management calls, missing launch identity, and the task alias. Existing spawn fixtures still pass.
+- Full `npm run format`, `npm run typecheck`, `npm run lint`, and `git diff --check` passing after the base update.
+
+Only the specific adapter test file was run, not the full suite. CI has not been run. There is no old-desktop before screenshot; the reported failure and the two actual RED runs are the before evidence.
+
+## Real desktop steps and observations
+
+1. Built server/app dependencies and launched the existing desktop dev runner with a separate home, Electron userData, Pi configuration/session directory, and async root. The final endpoints were loopback-only: daemon 6768, Metro 8082, and CDP 9223. The renderer's desktop bridge confirmed its own managed daemon/home/server identity. Only the existing pi-subagents extension and a marker-only test agent were enabled; child tasks used `sleep`/`printf`, not workspace edits.
+2. Created a Pi parent through the normal Paseo **CLI/API**, asking it to call `subagent({agent:"qa-marker", task, async:true})`. This produced A. The model first enabled the subagent tool, then performed the ordinary spawn. This step was not submitted through the composer.
+3. Used the real Electron **composer** to ask Pi for `subagent({action:"resume", id:A, message})`, then resumed B the same way to produce C. No top-level `agent`, `task`, or `async` was supplied to these resume calls. All three finished with their requested markers.
+4. Opened the provider-owned track while C ran: it showed `1 working`, the follow-up description, and `qa-marker`. Opening that row showed the reused child conversation and the current Shell call. Each resume had a new run/async directory, while all attempts reused the same session JSONL.
+5. While C was still running, clicked **Archive finished subagents**. Completed A/B rows disappeared, while C remained visible as `1 working`.
+6. Submitted a nonexistent resume ID through the composer. Pi returned an error and the parent reported “not found”; no new row or async run appeared.
+7. The first B screenshot was taken after B finished because screenshot capture waited for fonts. It is not offered as running-state proof. A supplementary real resume from A, B_OBSERVE, was captured as `1 working` and opened successfully. It also finished. The final track contained exactly the four successful runs, not a fifth phantom from the failed resume.
+
+The [selected real tool arguments/results, final statuses, and four completion notices](desktop-observations.json) preserve the test UUIDs. B's `revivedFrom` is A; C's is B. This file contains selected fields from persisted Pi entries/status files, not synthesized launch details. The [dialogue DOM excerpt](dialogue-excerpt.txt) records opening a resumed child. Test-root paths are replaced with `<QA_ROOT>` and the encoded workspace directory with `<QA_WORKSPACE>`; no auth or models configuration is included.
+

+
+Each resumed attempt intentionally gets its own row and reads the whole reused child transcript, including earlier history; it does not slice history by attempt. Old-notice isolation is also covered by the automated regression and the earlier real-notice host replay, rather than forcing a delayed notification in the desktop run.
+
+Short-lived duplicate Shell text was observed in the streaming child pane; its cause was not established and it is not claimed fixed here. The earlier direct-SDK smoke's turn-end persistence error did not recur through this normal RPC run. All four test runners exited, the parent settled idle, and the temporary workspace stayed empty. No claims are made about old workflow issues or daemon-restart global adoption.

 ## Changelog ordering
 
-Highlights come first, ordered by user impact. Entries within each section (Added, Improved, Fixed) follow the same order:
+Rank highlights by how much of a user's day the change touches: how many users get it, and how
+often they meet it. Put every highlight in one of four groups, then order each group by the same
+question.
+
+1. **New capabilities.** Something a user could not see or do in the last release:
+   `Background tasks`, `Plugin sidebar views`.
+2. **Everyday things that got better.** Speed, steadiness and polish in what users already do
+   every session: `Faster diff loading`, `Polish`.
+3. **Changes for part of the audience.** They need a particular device, provider or setup:
+   `Keyboard shortcuts on mobile`, `Touch-sized tablet controls`.
+4. **Small conveniences and highlighted fixes.** A user is glad to find them and would not update
+   for them: `Undo workspace archive`, `Fewer reconnects on return`. Fixes are routine, so one
+   that earned a highlight still follows everything new or improved.
+
+- **Reach decides before kind.** A new capability that needs a hardware keyboard is in group 3.
+- **Rank the whole list in one pass.** The order you collected the pull requests in, the alphabet
+  and the order of the sections below are not rankings.
+- **Show the groups with the draft.** List each highlight under its group when you ask for
+  approval, so the maintainer corrects the test and not one position.
+- **A maintainer's note that a change is big moves that change up.** It does not rank the changes
+  it names against each other, and it does not lower the ones it leaves out.
+- **A correction to one highlight is a correction to the test.** Work out which group or question
+  you got wrong, rank every highlight again, and then edit the file. Moving only the named item
+  leaves the same mistake in the others.
+
+Bullets within each section (Added, Changed, Fixed) follow this order:
 
 1. **User-facing features and changes first** — things users will notice, want to try, or that change their workflow.
 2. **Quality-of-life improvements** — polish, performance, smoother interactions.

-  listed or retired, is never imported again.

-`AgentTimeline` serializes every operation of one agent, child scopes included, and keeps its
-state in an `AgentTimelineBackend`: the sequence, the rows and retirements, prompt identities, the
-open rewind, and the children. The backend contract suite is `agent-timeline.test.ts`, run over
-`TIMELINE_CONTRACT_BACKENDS` in `timeline/testing.ts`. The only backend keeps everything in
-memory, so a daemon restart loses the owned history: the next resume imports provider history into
-a new epoch, and clients take the destructive reset below. Rewinds retired before the restart come
-back if the provider history still holds them. Retained history costs memory for every loaded,
-closed or archived agent until the daemon exits or the agent is deleted.
