Sidebar: distinguish subagent work and waiting-on-background from plain running

[teamleaderleo]

Targets main. This PR was originally stacked on #14838; when that merged its branch was deleted, which auto-closed this one, so the branch has been rebuilt as main plus this PR's own three commits and the PR reopened against main. Nothing from #14838 is in the diff.

The problem

The compact status glyph has one running state. A pane running a fan-out of subagents, a pane parked on a background command, and a pane typing a reply all render the same pulsing dot. Two of those are worth telling apart. Subagent work is the loudest thing an agent does, and a pane waiting on a deterministic wakeup is not asking you for anything, so it should not look like work in progress you might need to watch.

What the hooks report

A new set_status --work=running|subagents|waiting option carries what a running pane is running on:

• PreToolUse with a tool_name of Task or Agent reports subagents. Claude Code renamed the spawn tool Task -> Agent in 2.x and both are still on the wire, so both count. A spawn call blocks the parent inside the tool until its subagents finish, so no other parent hook can fire meanwhile: the state holds for exactly that span, and the next parent PreToolUse or Stop clears it. No counter, nothing to drift, no new hook route.
• Stop with a live background task or a scheduled wakeup reports waiting rather than Running. A re-entrant Stop (stop_hook_active) keeps reporting running: that is the agent itself still going, not a parked pane.
• Everything else keeps reporting running, and a reporter that omits --work produces exactly the rows it produced before.

Why it is not a lifecycle state

AgentHibernationLifecycleState is the hibernation contract: allowsHibernation is true for exactly one case, and the same enum gates Escape authorization across every supported agent. A waiting pane must keep reporting a running lifecycle, or hibernation could SIGTERM live background work. So the work state is a separate optional field on the status entry, purely presentational, and the glyph resolver reads it before the lifecycle branch.

Waiting wins only when every agent entry in the workspace reports a work state and they all say waiting. One agent still working keeps the row running, so a second, non-reporting agent can never be hidden behind an hourglass.

Glyphs

State	Glyph	Color	Pulses
Error	exclamationmark.triangle.fill	red	no
Needs input	circle.fill	amber	no
Running subagents	point.3.filled.connected.trianglepath.dotted	secondary gray	yes
Running	circle.fill	secondary gray	yes
Waiting	hourglass	secondary gray	no
Starting	circle.dashed	secondary gray	no
Unseen	circle.fill	blue	no
Idle	checkmark.circle	secondary gray	no

Waiting does not pulse: the agent is parked, and a pulsing hourglass would claim otherwise. Subagents sits directly above running in the group-header roll-up, and waiting directly below it. Both new states are sidebar.compactStatusIcons slots (subagents, waiting), documented in docs/configuration.md and in the config schema. Non-compact rows pick both up through the icon the hook already sends, so the two modes agree without a second mapping.

One correction to existing behavior

Adding the two new branches also fixes a precedence bug that predates this change. The header comment on SidebarCompactStatusGlyph has documented the order as error, then needs input, then running since the glyph was introduced, but resolve checked the running branch first. A pane that was both running and reporting needs input therefore showed the pulsing gray dot and hid the fact that it was blocked on you, which is the one case the amber dot exists for. The reordered chain now matches the documented order, so that pane shows amber.

This is a visible change to a state that already shipped, not only to the two new ones, so it is worth a maintainer's eye rather than being folded into the feature silently. SidebarAgentWorkStateTests covers it ("error and needs input still outrank both").

Tests

• cmuxTests/SidebarAgentWorkStateTests.swift: parsing, the resolver (subagents outranks running; waiting beats its own running lifecycle; one working agent keeps the row running; an agent without a work state keeps the row running; a second pane running under the shared workspace key keeps the row running and the hourglass returns once it goes idle; error and needs input still outrank both), the three copies of the wire contract agreeing, symbols, pulse, color, icon slots, roll-up order, and unread interaction.
• cmuxTests/ClaudeHookWorkStateTests.swift: the PreToolUse hook run against the mock socket server, asserting both Task and the 2.x Agent spelling emit the subagents pill and work state, and an ordinary tool does not.
• cmuxTests/ClaudeBackgroundWorkNotifyTests.swift: the pending Stop now asserts a Waiting pill carrying --work=waiting, and the re-entrant Stop asserts it stays Running.
• ControlCommandCoordinatorSidebarV1Tests: --work= forwarding, the no-option default, the invalid-value error rejecting before any mutation, and the list_status line carrying work=<state>.

Verification

python3 scripts/verify-local.py --all passes 15/15 with the Swift inputs of this change. One note for #14838: swift-syntax parses every selected file in a single swiftc -frontend -parse batch, so the top-level code in the new scripts/ui-lab/harnesses/sidebar-compact-status.swift fails to parse whenever that harness is selected alongside any other file. It parses fine alone. That predates this branch and belongs to the harness, so it is untouched here.

Localization audit: two new keys, agent.generic.status.waiting and agent.generic.status.runningSubagents, added through ./scripts/localize-changes with translations for all nine required macOS locales. python3 scripts/localization_catalog.py check reports 9 catalogs, 9 locales, 0 parity errors. No web-facing strings changed.

Screenshots

Two CI dogfood tours on 1bad27daa4fced8056599f9af11aed74bc542b52, one per sidebar mode. Both drive the real hooks through the control socket, so every glyph below came from a set_status --work= the CLI actually sent.

Compact glyph column, sidebar.compactStatusIcons on (run 36411179932, dogfood/scenarios/sidebar-agent-work-state-compact.json). Top to bottom: connected points on the selected row (running subagents), hourglass (waiting), gray dot (running), amber dot (needs input), merge glyph (PR merged).

The same five states with metadata rows, compact glyphs off (run 36402716579, -rows.json), which is where the two new states are labelled in text:

The compact glyph carries no text of its own, so the tour also asserts the accessibility labels: the accessibility tree at that frame contains Claude Code: Running subagents and Claude Code: Waiting on the two new rows. Those labels are what a tooltip and VoiceOver read; macOS tooltips do not appear in a screen capture, so the label assertion is the evidence rather than a hover frame.

Changelog

Added: the cmux sidebar now distinguishes an agent running subagents and an agent waiting on background work from an agent running directly.

Summary by cubic

The sidebar now distinguishes an agent running subagents and an agent parked on background work from a plain running pane, so a parked pane no longer pulses like active work. The state is purely presentational: waiting panes keep reporting a running lifecycle so hibernation never kills live background work, and the glyph resolver reads the work state before the lifecycle branch.

• set_status --work=running|subagents|waiting carries what a running pane runs on: Task and 2.x Agent spawns report subagents, a Stop with a live background task or scheduled wakeup reports waiting, and a re-entrant Stop keeps the pill on running.
• Waiting shows only when every reporting agent says waiting and every running lifecycle is covered by a waiting report, so a sibling pane still working keeps the row running; entries without a work state resolve exactly as before.
• Subagents gets a pulsing gray connected-points glyph and waiting a still gray hourglass, both configurable via sidebar.compactStatusIcons and reaching non-compact rows through the hook-sent icon.
• The work state is listed by list_status and sidebar_state, rejected for unknown values before any mutation, emitted last so it doesn't split command prefixes pinned by unrelated suites, and listed in the socket help.
• Also fixes a precedence bug: a row that is running and reporting needs input now shows the amber needs-input dot instead of the pulsing gray running dot.
• Both new states appear in group-header roll-ups (subagents above running, waiting below it), are accessible-labeled, and are covered by two dogfood tours, one per sidebar mode.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds running, subagents, and waiting work states to Claude status reporting and carries them through socket metadata into sidebar status entries. The compact sidebar resolves those states to glyphs, and the change adds tests, localization, configuration documentation, and UI scenarios.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 36.36% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 55 functions across 23 files. (8 skipped: 6 unsupported, 2 too large.)

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds two production user-facing localization keys, agent.generic.status.runningSubagents and agent.generic.status.waiting, but Resources/Localizable.xcstrings supports 20 locale codes while each new key has only 9 entries. The missing locales are bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and uk. The changed production command paths also add unlocalized error and usage text in Sources/TerminalController.swift and Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Coordinator/Sidebar/ControlCommandCoordinator+SidebarMetadataV1.swift.

Resolution

Add translated entries for both new keys for every locale supported by Resources/Localizable.xcstrings. Route the new command error and usage text through the project’s localized API, with matching catalog entries and complete translations.

[teamleaderleo]

Review subagent, correctness first, on 5904e8a. CI on that SHA agreed with it: the cmuxTests target did not build, so none of the branch's own tests had run.

Fixed in 1bad27d:

• Compile break. The two shouldReplaceStatusEntry call sites in SidebarOrderingTests never gained the new workState argument. A third one CI found and the review did not: a new control-socket test called hasPrefix on an optional response.
• Red test. everyIconSlotHasADistinctState pinned 11 icon slots against the 13 this branch now has.
• Subagents never appeared on a current Claude Code. The PreToolUse row matched only tool_name == "Task"; 2.x sends Agent for the same spawn. Both names count now, the way AgentChatSessionRegistry.isTaskSpawn already handles it for the mobile child-run tracker. The feature was a silent no-op for anyone on a current CLI, and the old test could not catch it because it only fed Task.
• An hourglass could cover a pane that was still working. Status entries are keyed per workspace, lifecycle states per panel, so two Claude panes in one workspace share one claude_code entry and the second to report wins. Waiting now also requires every running lifecycle to be covered by a waiting report. Two panes both waiting under one key read as running, which is the conservative direction; keying status entries per panel would fix that properly and is a bigger change than this PR.
• Doc contract mismatch. The doc comment promised an unknown work state degrades to a plain running row; the socket rejects the whole set_status, the same as an unknown --format or a non-integer --priority. Kept the reject (it matches its siblings in that function) and fixed the comment. SidebarAgentWorkState.parse also lost a _/- normalization no input could reach and a singular subagent alias the socket rejects, so both parses now accept the same set.
• Observability. list_status and sidebar_state now list work=<state>. The glyph has no text of its own, so without this the state was screenshot-only and neither of the two defects above could have been caught by an assertion.
• Precedence docs. The glyph header and docs/configuration.md listed Running above Waiting while the resolver checks Waiting first.

New tests: the renamed spawn tool, the two-pane shared-key case both ways, two agents both parked, the listing line, and a pin on the raw values the sidebar and control-socket copies of the wire contract share (the CLI's third copy is pinned on the wire by the hook tests).

Not changed, with reasons:

• The review's suggested fix for the hourglass case was to gate waiting on !hasActiveAgent && !lifecycleStates.contains(.running). That would remove the waiting glyph entirely: a waiting pane reports agentLifecycle: .running on purpose so hibernation cannot SIGTERM its live background work, so both of those are true for exactly the case the state exists for. Counting running lifecycles against waiting reports gets the same protection without that.
• TerminalController.upsertSidebarMetadata is unreachable legacy code and its --work parse goes with it. Leaving it consistent with the live path is cheaper than a partial de-dupe here.
• The mirror-enum drift is now pinned for the two copies that link together, but there is still no compile-time guard, and none exists for the older ControlSidebarMetadataFormat pair either. Worth one shared source of truth eventually, not in this PR.
• scripts/verify-local.py fails swift-syntax on scripts/ui-lab/harnesses/sidebar-compact-status.swift whenever it is batched with another file: it has top-level code, which is only legal in a single-file parse. That comes from Sidebar: opt-in compact status glyph for agent, PR and branch state #14838, not here.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

[teamleaderleo]

Dogfood receipt, on 1bad27daa4fced8056599f9af11aed74bc542b52 (the sha that carries the review fixes):

• Compact glyph column: run 36411179932, passed.
• Metadata rows: run 36402716579, passed.
• Checks on the same sha: 78 passed, 0 failed, 0 pending.

Both frames are now in the description. Worth saying what they do and do not show: the compact glyph carries no text, and macOS tooltips are not captured in a screen recording, so the hover frames from the tour show only the row under the pointer. The evidence that the right state is behind each glyph is the accessibility tree at that frame, which reads Claude Code: Running subagents and Claude Code: Waiting, plus the new work=<state> field on the list_status line. That field exists for exactly this reason: both behavioral defects the review found could ship undetected while the state was screenshot-only.

CodeRabbit skipped this PR automatically because the base is not the default branch. It will review on retarget to main after #14838 lands.

Not merging: this adds new states, so it is a feature rather than a fix, and it needs explicit approval after dogfood.

Rebuilt on main, and what I checked

This PR was stacked on #14838. When that squash-merged and its branch was
deleted, GitHub auto-closed this one. It was green at 1bad27d with 78/78 at
that moment; nobody rejected it. Recovering it meant pushing the old base tip
back under its branch name, reopening, retargeting to main, then deleting the
temporary branch again, which is why the review comment, the dogfood receipt
and the screenshots above are still the original ones.

The branch still carried #14838's 44 unsquashed commits against a main that
now holds them as a single squashed commit, so it had to be rebuilt as main
plus this PR's own three commits rather than merged.

I verified the rebuild instead of assuming it. Using git patch-id --stable:

old	new	result
b4bee23803f	6667b65882f	differs, by exactly the two conflicts below
5904e8a1442	9232609913c	patch-identical
1bad27daa4f	42c0d546c5a	patch-identical

The two differences in the first commit are both forced by main:

1. setClaudeStatus moved out from under the branch into
   CLI/CMUXCLI+ClaudeHookStopFailure.swift when main refactored the Stop
   hook, so the new workState parameter landed there instead. There is
   exactly one declaration and nine call sites, three of which pass a work
   state and the rest default to nil.
2. Patch context shifted around the resolver's running branch. The branch
   order itself is unchanged; I read
   SidebarCompactStatusGlyph+Resolve.swift directly to confirm it is still
   error, needsInput, subagents, everyAgentIsWaiting, running, pending, PR,
   idle, branch, terminal.

One line in there that should survive any later cleanup: the
runningLifecycleCount <= workStates.count guard on everyAgentIsWaiting. It
is what stops an hourglass from covering a sibling pane that is still working,
and it looks redundant until you have two panes in one workspace.

The subagents state matches Claude Code's spawn tool under both spellings,
Task and Agent, because the rename in 2.x left both on the wire. Grepping
for the older spelling elsewhere in the repo turned up two more places that
only knew Task: the public notifications docs (#15854, merged, which also
moved the documented hook off PostToolUse onto SubagentStop) and the pi
extension bridge (#15865).

Still held for a team look rather than merged, since new states make this a
feature rather than a fix.

[teamleaderleo]

The app-host red was mine, and it was a flag-ordering accident

CLINotifyProcessIntegrationRegressionTests.testClaudePromptSubmitFromNewSessionCanReplaceStoppedSession
failed on the app-host lane. It asserts the prompt-submit command as a prefix
through --tab=, and this branch was inserting --work=running between
--color= and --tab=, so the prefix stopped matching. Three assertions in
tests/test_claude_hook_clear_running_status.py use the same contiguous
fragment and would have failed on their own lane for the same reason, so this
was one defect about to surface twice.

None of those four assertions is about work states. They check that
prompt-submit sets Claude running on the right tab. Options are
order-independent on the wire, since the coordinator reads a parsed option
dictionary rather than a positional list, so the new optional option now goes
at the end of the command and the older assertions are untouched. Editing them
to expect --work=running would have coupled four unrelated checks to this
feature and broken them again the next time the work state for prompt-submit
changed.

Pinned by a new test in ClaudeHookWorkStateTests: the running command must
still start with the historical prefix and must end with the work option.

Pushed as f209a046214. Everything else on the previous head was green
(80 passed, 1 failed).

Rebuilt on main, and the review nits are in

Head is now 9ab13612416. Three things happened since f209a046214.

The ordering fix worked. testClaudePromptSubmitFromNewSessionCanReplaceStoppedSession passed, and so did the three Python assertions in test_claude_hook_clear_running_status.py that match the same fragment. The app-host lane is no longer red on this branch.

Caught up with main. The PR had gone CONFLICTING while CI ran, 41 commits behind. The merge turned out clean, no conflicted hunks; scripts/verify-local.py --all passes 15/15 on the merge commit.

Review findings addressed. A review pass ran the socket tokenizer and option splitter standalone against the emitted command shapes and confirmed the old and new option orders parse to byte-identical (positional, options) pairs, including with a quoted status value. It found no correctness problem and three worthwhile precision items, all now in 8953f203209:

• The help output for set_status was the one place still omitting --work, while the usage and error strings in TerminalController and ControlCommandCoordinator+SidebarMetadataV1 both list it.
• The ordering test now pins the prefix through the workspace id, so it stands in byte for byte for what CLINotifyProcessIntegrationRegressionTests asserts rather than stopping at --tab=.
• The comment now says why order independence holds here: every option this function emits is --key=value, so none can swallow another. A bare flag would not be order independent, because the parser reads the next token as the flag's value.

One suggestion I did not take: folding the new ordering test into ordinaryToolReportsPlainRunning, which covers the same scenario. The separated intent is worth the one extra hook subprocess.

Unrelated red on the previous head. macos / swift-package-tests (not required) failed on RemoteDaemonRPCClientTimeoutIsolationTests.swift:182, "a timed-out PTY attach does not wait for a blocked cancellation write", where a 10 second wait timed out. Remote daemon RPC, nothing this branch touches.

Still held rather than merged. New states make this a feature under the fix/feature split, so it wants a team look.

Blocked by main's bonsplit pin, not by anything here

Head 9ab13612416 came back 82 passed, 4 failed. The four are macOS compile admission, macOS status, tests, and the required ci-status, all downstream of one compile failure in files this branch does not touch:

Sources/TerminalSharingDisplay.swift:102:27: error: cannot find type 'TabPresence' in scope
Sources/TerminalSizeBoundsOverlayView.swift:19:34: error: cannot find type 'BonsplitContrastPalette' in scope

7d246ed4e5a (#15747) reverted vendor/bonsplit down to b32f48b9200, which predates both symbols, so main's macOS app target does not compile. PR CI compiles the merge with main, so every PR inherits it. Tracked on #15488; #15930 restores the pin.

Everything this branch owns is green, including the app-host lane that was red before the option move. It needs a rerun once #15930 lands, and no change.

Deployment failed for project cmux with the following error:

The provided GitHub repository does not contain the requested branch or commit reference. Please ensure the repository is not empty.

[teamleaderleo]

web / web-instant-navigation is red here, and that failure declines the macOS admission gate, so this branch is currently getting no macOS coverage at all. The cause is not in this PR.

Why the web lane runs here. The only web file this branch touches is web/data/cmux.schema.json, which adds the subagents and waiting glyph keys to the cmux config schema. web/app/[locale]/(landing)/docs/configuration/page.tsx imports that file, so path routing turns the web lane on. Nothing in the change touches locale routing, middleware or cookies.

What fails. e2e/instant/locale-navigation.instant.ts:48 asserts NEXT_LOCALE is en after switching language on a nested route. CI got ko on the first attempt and on retry 2; on retry 1 the URL never left /ko/blog. https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/36713081774/job/109879633687

The same suite fails on plain main. I ran the instant suite locally against 40a636edacb, the exact main commit this branch merged, with nothing else applied: locale ja ↔ English keeps the cookie, URL, document and content together across reloads failed on the same NEXT_LOCALE poll at web/e2e/instant/locale-navigation.instant.ts:26, 7 passed. A second run against main tip 5fbbc0c8440 passed 8/8, which fits a race rather than a deterministic break.

Root cause. web/proxy.ts drops the NEXT_LOCALE cookie only when the request carries next-router-prefetch or purpose: prefetch (#13255). An RSC navigation carrying neither still writes it, so a background request for the previous locale can land after an explicit switch and restore ko. #12719 generalizes the drop to every background request, keyed on sec-fetch-dest, rsc and the prefetch headers, and adds a regression test for this exact sequence. It has been conflicting since #13255 landed; the conflict is one hunk in web/proxy.ts.

Next step is to unblock #12719 and then bring it into this branch. No change is needed here.

/catch-up

GitHub reports no computed merge commit for this PR (mergeable is UNKNOWN and merge_commit_sha is empty), so nothing downstream can evaluate it. Catching up on main recomputes that and starts CI.

On the Resources/Localizable.xcstrings churn, which is most of this diff: I checked it rather than assuming, because +8000/-6800 on a 17MB generated catalog looks alarming. It is fine. Measured against main at 83857fa043bd and this branch's merge base:

• No key on this branch and on main both changed since the merge base, so the driver has nothing to stop on.
• 3 keys exist on main but not on this branch (command.copyProjectRoot.title, command.copyScreen.title, and one more). Main added them after the merge base, so they are one-sided additions and survive the merge.
• 0 units regress from translated back to needs_review or new.

scripts/merge-xcstrings.py merges per key rather than per line and exits non-zero naming the keys when the same key changed differently on both sides, so a genuine disagreement cannot resolve silently. Nothing here should need hand-editing.

/catch-up

My earlier catch-up comment on this PR did nothing: I wrapped the command in backticks, and the gate is startsWith(github.event.comment.body, '/catch-up'), so every run it started was skipped. Same mistake on 21 other PRs. This one is the real request; the reasoning is in the comment above.

macos / app-host unit tests (changed suites) is red on one test, and it is a genuine gap in this PR rather than a flake.

ClaudeBackgroundWorkNotifyTests.stopHookContinuationDoesNotPoisonTheLaterIdleSignal()
cmuxTests/ClaudeBackgroundWorkNotifyTests.swift:27:9
Expectation failed: (statusLine(result.snapshot, value: "Running") -> nil) != nil

The other 11 tests in the suite pass, and nothing else in the run failed.

Cause

The Stop hook picks its sidebar pill from hasUnsettledWork (CLI/cmux.swift:28581):

let hasUnsettledWork = stopFailure == nil && hasPendingBackgroundWork

hasUnsettledWork implies hasPendingBackgroundWork, so inside the branch that consumes it, isWaitingOnBackgroundWork is unconditionally true and the Running arm at CLI/cmux.swift:28651 is unreachable. Separately, stop_hook_active is never read anywhere in CLI/: the only occurrences are the two comments at 28577 and 28648 and an unrelated literal in CodexTranscriptMonitorStopReplay.swift. So a re-entrant Stop with no background work falls through to the else branch and emits Idle.

The test is right and the source is incomplete. The comment at 28647-28649 already describes the behavior the test asserts; that behavior was never implemented.

Shape of the fix

Pill state and pending-work state are two axes, and the code currently derives both from one flag. hasUnsettledWork is correct as it stands and keeps feeding agentLifecycle, hadPendingBackgroundWorkAtStop, the journal event's pendingWork, and the notification meta p= value. The same test asserts the turn is not pending (cachedPending == false, c=turn-complete;p=0), so stop_hook_active must not be folded into it.

The pill selection becomes: failure, then Waiting on live background work, then Running on a re-entrant Stop, then Idle. The two comments at 28577 and 28648 contradict each other today and are being reconciled: stop_hook_active does not mark the turn as pending work, but it does keep the pill on Running.

stopWithEmptyArraysTagsIdleAndCachesFalse(), agentCompletedNotificationDoesNotSwallowTheParentStop() and stopWithRunningBackgroundTaskTagsPendingAndCaches() all constrain this and keep their current expectations; none of them set stop_hook_active.

The CONFLICTING state GitHub showed alongside the red was stale. Against origin/main at 018394256b1 a merge produces no conflicts.

Fix in progress; I will post the new head when it is pushed.

Fixed in eab54ec984c.

The pill decision no longer rides on hasUnsettledWork. stop_hook_active is now read off the parsed payload and the four outcomes are selected independently:

stopFailure           -> failure pill
hasPendingBackgroundWork -> Waiting, hourglass, .waiting
isReentrantStop       -> Running, bolt.fill, .running
otherwise             -> Idle

hasUnsettledWork keeps its definition and its existing consumers: agentLifecycle, hadPendingBackgroundWorkAtStop, the journal event's pendingWork, and the notification meta p= value. A re-entrant Stop therefore still reports a non-pending turn, which is what the rest of the same test asserts.

Two details worth naming. The Waiting branch now tests hasPendingBackgroundWork directly rather than hasUnsettledWork; inside the else of if let stopFailure those are the same value, so this is a readability change, not a behavioral one. And the flag is read from rawObject rather than object, because object is the compacted copy built by compactClaudeHookObject and does not carry every top-level key.

The contradiction between the two comments is resolved: stop_hook_active does not mark the turn as pending, and it does keep the pill on Running.

No test file changed. stopWithEmptyArraysTagsIdleAndCachesFalse(), agentCompletedNotificationDoesNotSwallowTheParentStop() and stopWithRunningBackgroundTaskTagsPendingAndCaches() all omit stop_hook_active and keep their current expectations.

Why this PR shows as conflicting

GitHub reports mergeable=CONFLICTING / mergeStateStatus=DIRTY, which stops the remaining checks from running. The branch does not actually conflict with main. The conflict is an artifact of how the merge ref is computed.

This repo registers custom merge drivers in .gitattributes:

*.xcstrings merge=xcstrings-v2
cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj merge=pbxproj-v1

They are backed by scripts/merge-xcstrings.py (merges per string key) and scripts/merge-pbxproj.py (takes the union of added entries), installed into local git config by scripts/install-git-hooks.sh. GitHub does not run them when it computes the merge ref, so it falls back to the default line-based driver and collides positionally.

This branch touches both files. Merging origin/main locally, where the drivers are registered:

$ git merge-tree --write-tree origin/main HEAD
exit 0, no conflicts

The same merge with the drivers disabled, which is what the merge ref sees:

$ git -c merge.xcstrings-v2.driver=false -c merge.pbxproj-v1.driver=false \
      merge-tree --write-tree origin/main HEAD
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

Exactly the two driver-backed files, and nothing else.

The fix is a catch-up merge: merge main into the branch locally so the drivers produce the resolution and it lands as a commit, after which the merge ref has nothing left to resolve in those files. That is in progress. The pbxproj gets normalized before the push, since a worktree does not run the pre-commit hook and unsorted entries fail Fast static checks.

Any PR that touches both an .xcstrings catalog and project.pbxproj can hit this, so a conflicting status on one of those is worth checking locally before treating it as a rebase problem.

Review of the catch-up merge (a430393f687)

Background for anyone arriving cold: this branch reported CONFLICTING on GitHub while merging cleanly every time locally. The cause is that GitHub's merge-ref computation does not run a repository's custom merge drivers. .gitattributes routes *.xcstrings and cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj through scripts/merge-xcstrings.py and scripts/merge-pbxproj.py, and those two files were the entire conflict. The A/B is decisive:

$ git merge-tree --write-tree origin/main HEAD
exit 0, no conflicts
$ git -c merge.xcstrings-v2.driver=false -c merge.pbxproj-v1.driver=false \
      merge-tree --write-tree origin/main HEAD
exit 1
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

Exactly the two driver-backed files and nothing else. The fix is a catch-up merge of main into the branch, which materializes the drivers' resolution as a commit that GitHub can then read directly.

Because a merge commit can break things no diff review would catch, I had an independent pass go over the merged tree rather than the branch's own diff. Summary of what it checked and found.

Nothing merge-introduced. Merge base 40a636edacb; main contributed 65 commits across 312 files, including the diff-viewer viewed-state feature, ACP read-only host phase 1, a new forward-only submodule guard and a new CLI contract-verb guard. Only five files were touched by both sides: CLI/cmux.swift, CmuxConfigSchema.generated.swift, web/data/cmux.schema.json, and the two driver-backed files. For 31 of the branch's 32 files the added and removed lines are byte-identical before and after the merge; the exception is the string catalog, checked semantically below.

Test wiring. ./scripts/sync-test-wiring --check and ./scripts/lint-pbxproj-test-wiring.sh both pass at 1,173 files. Both new test files carry all four pbxproj entries in the merged project. normalize-pbxproj.py --check, check-pbxproj-group-membership.py and check-pbxproj.sh all exit 0, so the driver's output is already normalized and the missing pre-commit hook in a worktree did not bite.

Generated schema. scripts/generate-cmux-config-schema.py --check exits 0, so the generator still reproduces the committed Swift byte for byte. The branch's schema edit (compactStatusIcons.subagents, .waiting) and main's (diffViewerToggleViewed) are in disjoint regions and both survived. The IconSlot enum, the schema properties and docs/configuration.md:242 agree at 13 entries in content and in order.

Localization. The merged catalog is valid JSON with 7,417 strings and zero duplicate keys, which matters because a duplicate key here only exists on the merge ref and only fails in CI. Key-set algebra is exact: the branch added 2, main added 21, nothing was dropped from either side, and no pre-existing entry was altered. The branch's 13.5k-line textual diff on that file is Xcode reformatting, not content, which the parsed comparison proves. scripts/lint-xcstrings.py passes on 23 catalogs.

Swift 6.0 pathway. Zero trailing commas in parameter or argument lists and zero nonisolated on type declarations across the merged versions of all 21 Swift files the branch touches. The nonisolated uses in ControlSidebarContext.swift are all on method requirements, which is allowed.

Enum exhaustiveness. Both new work-state enums are added files, so main cannot hold a switch over them. The branch does add cases to the pre-existing SidebarCompactStatusGlyph.Kind and .IconSlot; the only switches over Kind anywhere are the seven inside SidebarCompactStatusGlyph.swift, all updated here, and no allCases count assertion exists. The sharpest risk was controlSidebarScheduleStatusUpsert gaining a required non-defaulted workState: parameter, but main changed no file under CmuxControlSocket/Tests/, so it added no conformer that would miss it, and all three implementations plus the single call site carry it.

Submodule pin. The merge correctly took main's newer vendor/bonsplit pin rather than reverting it, which was worth confirming because the merge base was itself a pin-restore commit.

Guards. All 226 run: blocks from ci-guards.yml were executed against the merged tree. Seven fail, all environmental: unset RUNNER_TEMP and CMUX_TEST_REGISTRY_BASE_REF, two unchecked-out submodules, and two TTY artifacts. The new CLI contract-verb guard passes; this branch adds a --work option, not a verb.

Two things it surfaced, neither caused by the merge. First, scripts/swift_file_length_budget.py reports five files over budget, but the overflow is identical at all four revisions because the budget rebases onto main, and the script is not wired into any workflow. Advisory. Second, the glyph precedence reorder is a visible change to a state that already shipped; I have added a section to the PR description calling it out rather than leaving it inside the feature.

Limits. Nothing was compiled. The signature and exhaustiveness conclusions come from reading the merged sources, not from type checking, so a purely type-level or actor-isolation mismatch that is neither syntactic nor registry-level would not be caught by this.

No blockers found. This stays on team review as a feature, so I am not enabling auto-merge.

🟡 Minor · Group header documentation omits the new roll-up states. · docs/configuration.md:260

Fixed in db8e2f1d005.

Verified against the code first rather than taking the finding as given. groupRank in SidebarCompactStatusGlyph.swift:230 returns a rank for six kinds, error 0, needsInput 1, subagents 2, running 3, waiting 4, unseen 5, and nil for everything else. The paragraph named only the four that existed before this branch, so the two new states were ranked by the roll-up but absent from the documentation. The suggested wording is also in the right order, matching groupRank rather than the row-level precedence, so I took it as written:

-(error, needs input, running, unread)
+(error, needs input, subagents, running, waiting, unread)

The concrete consequence of leaving it: a reader would expect a collapsed group holding a workspace that is running through subagents, or waiting on a background command, to show a blank header, when it shows the connected-points or hourglass glyph.

Checked that nothing pins this sentence before editing it. No test asserts the string; the three test files that mention group headers assert behavior, not prose, and no Python test reads configuration.md. test_cmux_schema_parity, test_cmux_settings_supported_paths and test_cmux_config_schema_embed pass at 20 tests, and scripts/generate-cmux-config-schema.py --check exits 0, so the separate state list at configuration.md:242 is still in agreement with the IconSlot enum and the schema.

No thread to resolve on this one: GitHub could not post it inline because the line is outside the diff, so it exists only in the review body and reviewThreads is empty on this PR. Replying here instead.

#15939 landed: e6662a5fde26074af34ddfa365a60251becd85a2 (squashed to main at 18:21 UTC). You asked to be pinged, so: the blobless routing-history fetch is on main now, and iOS detection should fit its timeout on a fresh dispatch.

This PR still needs a catch-up merge of main before it sees that. It is a dispatch-only lane, so a PR run will not give you iOS signal either way; dispatch test-ios.yml on the merged head once you have it.
