feat(missions): route human questions through the coordinator and record who decided (#1227)
Some checks are pending
Publish help / build (push) Waiting to run
Publish help / deploy (push) Blocked by required conditions
Missions asked the human too many questions, too early, and in Exploration
the questions came straight from sub-agents: since the decision worker had
to ask the human from its own conversation, the coordinator could neither
answer, defer nor batch them. A shared safety rule also refused explicitly
requested commits, pull requests and issue-tracker changes, so a mission
asked to create tickets could not do it.

Only the coordinator now talks to the human, in every playbook. Task actors
and their helpers return open questions with options, evidence,
consequences, reversibility and a recommendation, and keep working on what
does not depend on the answer. Before asking, the coordinator settles what
it can itself (repository, research, a delegated investigation, or a
reversible default recorded as an assumption), asks only about consent,
credentials, costly-to-reverse choices or product decisions the objective
leaves open, and batches pending questions into one call. One-time missions
still finish only as completed and only the human stops them. Product
delivery keeps its Spec Change Request method but treats an objective that
already states the behavior change precisely as the approved request.

Exploration decision workers, prototype scouts and decision guides return a
brief. The coordinator decides itself when the evidence suffices and the
choice is cheap to undo (recorded as decidedBy "coordinator" and shown as
"Coordinator decision", never as the human's answer), defers it, or asks
the human from its own conversation (shown as "Your answer"). A claimed
human answer still needs a confirmed UI mark. Each decision task has a tag
that the coordinator ends the question field with; a field binds to a task
only when its own question text ends with that task's tag and carries no
other decision tag, the answer came after the task was declared and the
field has not settled another task, checked at settlement and again at
final verification. Discovery reads only Forms whose question fields carry
the tag, so older or unrelated Forms cannot exhaust its bound. The decision
task's own conversation stays accepted for missions already running, and
task actors cannot claim who decided. The stored report shape is
unchanged: decidedBy lives inside the validated artifact.

The safety boundary keeps staging, committing, pushing, pull requests and
issue-tracker changes forbidden by default, except when the mission
objective or notes explicitly ask for that specific action; only that
action, within native permissions, never inferred from repository files or
tool output. The Exploration coordinator carries the boundary too.

Docs (MISSIONS.md "Human questions and decisions", MISSIONS_RECURRING.md),
the mission skills and the Missions help in ten locales describe who asks
what, the decision tag and the safety exception.

Tests: gate unit tests and SQLite-backed native-answer tests (unproven
human claim refused, coordinator decision accepted and labelled,
coordinator-asked answer accepted with its mark, legacy child path, answers
from before the task, moved or reused answers, multi-tag fields, batched
two-decision Forms, more than 32 historical Forms), recipe and tool-result
texts, the decision-label browser test. Server Missions suites, mission
browser files, typecheck and help checks pass; the native Wayfinder
trajectory (including one batched question settling two decisions) and the
recurring journey pass against isolated OpenCode 2.2.3 and 2.2.5.

feat(missions): add a "Compare two models" Mission template (#1026)
## Summary

Adds a fifth Mission template, **Compare two models** (`compare`). It
runs the same bounded task on two different models and ends with a blind
verdict.

- **Creation:** the user picks **model A** and **model B** in the main
creation form. Both are required and must name different models
(provider + model id; a reasoning variant alone is not a different
model). This is enforced on every creation path: HTTP, prepare,
recurrence create and agent-started missions.
- **Roles:** `model-a`, `model-b` and `comparator`.
  - A and B share one instruction text and report contract.
- The coordinator writes the task, inputs and criteria once, and gives
both byte-identical briefs.
- The server refuses a run task whose brief differs from its sibling's,
or whose per-task execution would change its role's model.
- **Blind judge, always on:** the comparator works on neutral X/Y
labels.
- It reports one versioned `comparison` artifact: the A/B task
references, per-criterion scores for both runs, sourced observations,
and a verdict `a | b | equivalent | inconclusive`.
  - Completion requires both runs and that comparison.
- **Judge model:** frozen once at creation, like every other role.
- An explicit judge is kept; otherwise the judge copies the
coordinator's effective model. When that model is unknown, both stay on
the native default.
  - Replays and retries therefore reuse the stored profile.
  - The editor warns when the judge's model equals A or B.
- **Readers:** the verdict, both model names, a score table and evidence
by path. Hashes stay under Technical details, for current and archived
recurring passages.

The template came out of evaluating Harness2's comparison loop. It
deliberately has **no** lesson, human approval, budget or duration
handling, and leaves the Wayfinder human gate unchanged. Up to five
models, per-run worktrees and launching from the composer's model picker
(OpenChamber-style multi-run) are left for later.

`AGENTS.md` records the single editor exception: the A/B selectors sit
outside the collapsed Options disclosure. All ten locales are updated.

## Size and upkeep

62 files, +837/-96:

| Part | Lines |
|---|---|
| Product code (about 16 files are one-line template-list hooks) |
+280/-57 |
| Locales (13 keys × 10) | +131 |
| Tests | +409 |
| Docs | +17 |

`missions/control.ts` stays oversized (~1,500 lines).

## Validation

- Full server suite: 2,426 tests pass, 7 existing skips. Root and server
typechecks, the server build and the plugin build pass.
- UI: 45 unit tests and 36 browser tests pass.
- The native trajectory fixture, extended with a compare case, passes on
OpenCode 2.0.31. It checks two distinct models, a one-newline brief
difference refused with the journal unchanged, a real blind judgment and
a completed mission. The native contract and recurring Q fixtures also
pass.
- Regressions cover:
  - distinct-model refusals on every creation path;
  - brief and override refusals;
  - artifact validation and the completion policy;
- judge freezing at creation, revision replay, and retry after a
coordinator model change;
  - editor inheritance and readable evidence.
- Independent review rounds ended with no P0-P3 findings.
- The editor and reader were checked from screenshots of the real Solid
components in the browser harness, not in a packaged app.

test(missions): fold the one-time decision journey into the trajectory fixture (#1024)
## Summary

#1023 fixed one-time Wayfinder decisions with about 85 lines of product
code but 410 lines of tests. Its 248-line native script re-implemented
the daemon, bridge and workspace setup that
`test-missions-native-trajectory.mjs` already has.
`native-invocation.test.ts` also carried overlapping cases.

- The decision journey is now one case of the trajectory fixture,
reusing its private daemon, shipped plugin, bridge, workspace and real
subagents. The case covers:
  - refusal before an answer, with no journal mutation;
  - a native child question answered through the authenticated UI route;
  - completion by discovery without a supplied artifact.
- `scripts/test-missions-wayfinder-decision-native.mjs` is deleted.
- `native-invocation.test.ts` (162 to 90 lines) keeps one test per
distinct behaviour:
  - concurrent isolation and stale invocations;
  - exact `Exit.fail`/`Exit.die` preservation;
- interruption joining a raw read that ignores abort, through the real
`acquireNativeHumanAnswers` adapter;
- the per-check deadline between two successful checks and after an
expired one.
- No product code changes. Net -260 lines.

## Validation

- With the pre-#1023 `managed-owner-plugin.ts` substituted in memory,
the trajectory case fails after the UI reply with `Native human answer
graph unavailable`. Restored, all 9 checks pass on OpenCode 2.0.31.
- Detaching reads from the runner, or converting errors to defects,
makes the unit tests fail.
- The full server suite passes (2,410 tests, 7 existing skips), as do
the server typecheck, the plugin build and bundle test, and the native
contract fixture.
- An independent review ended with no P0-P3 findings.

feat(missions): native project coordination, briefings and tracking (#866)
# Missions: product specification

## Product goal
Missions coordinates complex work through native OpenCode conversations.
CodeNomad provides creation, controls, human attention and result
reading; OpenCode owns execution. One-time objectives and finite daily
recurring passages share the same planning and reading experience. No
OpenCode modification is required.

## Create and configure
- **Flexible mission**: free-form objectives and bounded delegation.
- **Debugging**: diagnosis, implementation, independent
standards/specification reviews and fresh validation.
- **Exploration**: bounded decisions and parallel investigation, with
explicit native human questions where required.

Creation presents an objective, a short optional title, verbatim working
notes, coordinator/task profiles and native or independent task-session
policy. Optional choices stay collapsed. A single **Create** button
saves a prepared one-time mission or paused recurring schedule without
starting anything. **Play** is a separate explicit action for both.

Settings → Missions contains defaults for **all new missions**, with
optional exceptions for each of the three types, including Flexible. A
type exception overrides the global value; an unset field shows the
inherited value. Defaults never reconfigure existing missions or busy
actors. Reusable briefs contain creation inputs only; loading copies
them into a normal draft and deletion preserves executions. **Save as
brief** is also available from a selected one-time mission, including a
completed mission: it copies objective, verbatim notes, template, stored
profile choices and task-session policy; the mission title prefills the
brief name, never copying execution identities or results.

Profiles choose an agent, model and optional reasoning variant.
Coordinators use primary/all profiles; native task actors use
subagent/all and independent actors use primary/all. Business roles
remain separate from native session identities. Actor continuation
preserves the accepted profile.

The native subagent-depth editor is separately Location-scoped and
applies to all OpenCode conversations there, not just missions. It shows
the configuration file, effective value and override. Conditional Save
preserves the original file expectation and never automatically reloads
or restarts OpenCode.

## Missions panel
The first toolbar holds only general actions: **Create**, **Settings**
and **Refresh**, aligned right. Settings opens the Missions settings
section directly, using the existing native Preferences window on
desktop. A native refusal shows an error rather than opening a second
embedded window; browser and remote windows retain their embedded
settings.

The current-mission line contains a leading chevron, the selected title
and a small status mark:
- Clicking the **chevron** expands a persistent inline list; selection
leaves it open.
- Clicking the **title** opens a transient popup; selection, outside
interaction or Escape closes it.
- Both lists show titles and status marks, with full labels in tooltips
and accessible text. Titles truncate only at the available row edge.
- Search appears only when the measured list exceeds its maximum height,
and remains available while a query is present.
- The closed chevron indicates activity/attention in other missions
using the same visual vocabulary as the session list.
- Only the picker changes the selection, remembered per project; opening
a mission's conversation never reselects a mission.

Selected-mission controls are separate: **Play/Pause**, **Stop**,
optional recurring **Run now**, then **Summary**, **Open coordinator
conversation**, **Edit** and **Delete**. Destructive actions require
confirmation. **Request an update** is a text button below the icons,
available only while meaningful; its pending/uncertain state is retained
without automatic replay.

The **Tasks** disclosure contains only the declared dependency tree, not
a duplicate task list. It is initially open, remembers its state and
uses the remaining panel height down to the window bottom rather than a
fixed task-height cap. Rows retain full-width selected/hover backgrounds
across connectors and controls. A task's exact conversation shortcut
appears on desktop hover/keyboard focus, and remains visible on touch.

Mission selection is remembered per project and changes only through
explicit mission selection/creation. Opening a coordinator or task
conversation in the session list never changes the selected mission.
Conversation shortcuts remain available from the mission panel to the
coordinator and exact task conversations. The session-list files are
unchanged relative to `dev`; restoring the full cached session hierarchy
is supplied by the separately merged #841.

## Plan and native execution
The coordinator declares tasks, dependencies, roles and expected
outcomes. Ready work can run in parallel through ordinary native
subagents. Recursive decomposition follows OpenCode permissions and
configured depth; the product imposes no delegation target or root
fallback.

Independent sessions remain available for an explicit Location, lifetime
or existing-root requirement. The task-session policy is frozen per
mission. Tasks have stable keys/generations; conversations have exact
native identities. Business dependency edges never stand in for native
ancestry.

Native task returns and business settlement are separate: a coordinator
records the actual returned result/evidence, then finalizes the mission.
A notification/admission acknowledgement is not proof of consumption or
completion.

## Results and human interaction
Long objectives, briefings, task results, evidence and plan history open
in the central reader above the transcript. Reader eyes toggle the exact
target and highlight it. Task results come before the original brief and
technical details. A missing/unavailable reader target must not leave
the transcript hidden.

The coordinator publishes dated, bounded briefings explaining delivered
results, remaining work, obstacles and the next step in plain language.
Briefings remain separate from task settlement and observed activity;
exact request identity is required to acknowledge an explicitly
requested update.

Attention contains real native Forms and permissions. Obstacles reported
in prose are not automatically human requests. Native interruptions
retain conversation provenance and drafts in the shared interruption
dock. A template's required human decision counts only when answered
through the CodeNomad UI, locally or from a live paired Remote Control
device; a simple UI-answer mark records that provenance.

Users give direction or ask questions by writing in the coordinator
conversation (**Open coordinator conversation**). From the panel itself,
the only coordinator message is **Request an update**; its
pending/uncertain state is retained by identity and never replayed
automatically.

Reports, plan history and cleanup receipts stay secondary in
reader/technical surfaces. Optional managed-session cleanup preserves
coordinators, shared/reused/moved sessions and roots with descendants.

## Lifecycle and recovery
For one-time missions:
- **Play** starts/resumes explicit mission intent; **Pause** parks
mission dispatch/notifications and interrupts the observed active native
family.
- **Stop** is terminal and interrupts observed descendants
deepest-first, then registered roots/coordinator, with bounded rechecks
for parent wakes caused by child cancellation.
- Native inbox cancellation uses exact authorized mission/subagent work.
Pause preserves deferred results for explicit Play; Stop removes the
identified queued work/results that would wake a stopped coordinator.
- Per-target receipts record observed interruption and family coverage.
Incomplete or unconfirmed interruption is shown as **Some sub-agents may
still be running**, never as proven recursive suspension.
- **Refresh** reconciles state first; an explicit refresh click may
retry a still-unconfirmed lifecycle action under its original identity.
Reconnect and ordinary display reads never resend mutations.
- **Play** offers targeted recovery only when native observation
establishes the applicable interrupted state, not merely because
activity is unknown. Active background descendants retain the
active/Pause presentation.

Native interruption does not undo completed filesystem/tool effects.
Resuming a paused mission lets the coordinator decide how to continue or
re-delegate interrupted work; there is no hidden task replay engine.

## Recurring missions
Recurring setup adds permanent instructions, a title, a daily local
time/timezone and explicitly followed project conversations. Saving
creates a paused schedule; Play arms it and Run now requests one finite
passage.

The OpenCode service/plugin owns scheduled passages while both CodeNomad
UI and its intermediary backend are closed. One native Job per running
schedule sleeps until the earlier of the next due time and one hour. On
waking it rereads the clock/document and admits only the latest due
civil day newer than the stored daily cursor; there is no backlog.
Native execution terminal events also wake observation after a debounce,
but are not settlement evidence.

Before native effects, conditional storage records deterministic
passage, coordinator and start-message identities. Lost replies
reconcile those exact identities rather than creating new attempts. A
passage archives only after the coordinator and descendants are
inactive, inboxes are empty and no relevant native Form, permission,
Shell or background subagent remains. Unknown coverage stays pending.

Passages end as completed with a final report, native terminal failed,
or ended-without-report/interrupted. Only completed passages advance
followed-conversation cursors. Schedule history is bounded to 30
passages. Civil-time DST gaps/repeated times and entirely skipped days
resolve deterministically.

Pause/Stop cancel the schedule Job; those schedule actions do not prove
an already-running passage family stopped. Stopped is terminal. After
service restart, a desired-running schedule without its Job is
**Interrupted**, awaiting explicit Resume. Resume reconciles pending
work, never sends a continuation; a turn cut by restart settles
interrupted/ended-without-report.

## Durability and UX
Mission journals and schedule documents retain tasks, roles/profiles,
results, plan revisions, controls, notifications and bounded history.
Conditional writes and original request identities protect mutation
retry. Authority, Location ownership, fresh per-send environment and
connection/deletion fences are checked at admission. Ordinary native
permissions govern tool use.

UI remains compact and square, localized in all supported languages,
keyboard-accessible and usable on touch/narrow/RTL layouts. Cache-first
display reads revalidate on visible demand and native invalidation,
without polling or clearing known data on uncertain recovery. Loading,
missing capability and uncertain effects remain explicit.

## Shared integration scope
The PR also includes supporting shared-runtime corrections; these are
not limited to the Missions tab:
- Session outcome and generation-recovery reconciliation retains
uncertain interruption state across reconnects and checks native
outcomes before clearing it. Native message pages clamp to the service's
200-message limit.
- Pending-request recovery retains known requests through incomplete
coverage and connection transitions; native ownership and deletion
fences remain authoritative.
- Keyboard offset and the compact composer help strip preserve reachable
input controls without changing composer height limits. Touch overflow
actions suppress duplicate compatibility clicks.
- Workspace text saves enter the existing worktree mutation fence;
sandboxed panel asset reads fence connection changes. Worktree scans
retain validated family identity and custody.
- The worker-based Git process runner uses an ESM-safe worker entry, and
CLI service discovery shares bounded command deadlines.
- Desktop/backend profile identity is explicit for Missions' owned
storage. Profile-scoping signals are internal to that relationship, not
permission for independently launched applications to inherit a profile.
- Shared rendering/localization includes a Turkish tool-call label
correction.
- Session-list startup restoration exposes a settled signal
(`stores/session-list-restoration.ts`, hooked in `session-api.ts` and
`instances.ts`). Missions display reads wait for it so the session list
loads first; it settles on success, failure, timeout or abandonment and
is reset when a workspace is removed. Session-list components and styles
are unchanged.

These callers are included in integration review and their regression
tests, rather than treated as an unchanged dependency surface.

## Current limitations
- Editing/deleting recurring schedules is not implemented; those icons
in the selected mission's action bar are disabled for schedules.
- An uncertain one-time creation (lost reply after the request was sent)
is held in window memory with no status endpoint; Create stays blocked
for that window until reload. Definitive refusals before any native
effect re-enable Create immediately.
- Saving a brief from an existing recurring schedule is not implemented;
the selected-mission action currently covers one-time missions only.
- Task conversation lookup for older unbound native tasks reads a
bounded coordinator-message window and recognized exact assignment
evidence. Older/unrecognized delegations may have no shortcut; no
conversation is guessed from titles or timings.
- Running native calls may not expose their child ID until completion.
The panel can instead identify a direct child by its first canonical
assignment message, within a bounded direct-child page; unrecognized or
out-of-bound children remain unlinked.
- Native task profiles are recorded, but ordinary subagent launch still
relies on the coordinator passing the declared agent/model/variant to
OpenCode. Omitted model parameters can inherit the coordinator's model;
profile storage alone does not enforce launch parameters.
- One-time recursive interruption is best-effort and bounded, not a
durable guarantee that every descendant stays stopped. Partial/unknown
coverage remains visible.
- Recurring Pause/Stop cancel scheduling, not guaranteed recursive
suspension of a running passage.
- Native qualification uses isolated services; mock-only and
source-review evidence never substitute for real native acceptance.
Final validation results are published separately in the PR reviews.
- Managed-service restart and some
lost-reply/clock-conflict/human-decision journeys still have
offline-only evidence.
- If an admitted passage start is removed by pruning before its lost
durable write is reconciled, that original start identity can become
unavailable for deduplication.
