master already stabilized the raw-mode SIGINT scenario in 65e0ffe03 and
3be090f1d with wider scenario-owned bounds and deliberately delayed child
readiness, so the merge takes master's test implementation. What this branch
keeps is the contract that explains why those bounds are required: the note
paragraph on the settle boundary in PtySendOperation.append, and the
waitForOutput comment recording that raising its deadline alone cannot
recover output the send never collected.
The darwin-parity job failed intermittently on the SIGINT test with the
operation buffer holding only the echoed command line, never RAW_READY. The
harness sets idleSilenceMs to 250, so when a cold python3 start stays silent
past that bound the send settles as inferred_idle; PtySendOperation.append then
drops all later output, and the marker reaches only the scrollback.
Give the harness per-test idleSilenceMs/timeoutMs overrides and let this
scenario raise both above interpreter startup latency, so the readiness marker
lands inside the send it belongs to. waitForOutput's own deadline and the test
timeout grow to match the new bounds.
The product timings are unchanged; the pty Agent Note records why a test that
waits on an operation must outlast the child's startup.
Keep inherited child prompt markers bounded by the normal silence fallback. Stage web-plugin rescans atomically and retain missing watch state until a successful rebuild.
Add a branded AgentMessageId assigned to each accepted send message and
returned from send/followup/steer/inject (was void). Rename the inbox
event payload InboxItemInfo to AgentMessage, carrying that id so a caller
can correlate a queued item with its enqueue/dequeue/discard events.
Replace send/steer/inject with one Agent.send primitive over the
(target × wakeup) matrix; followup/steer/inject become fixed-preset
alias methods on the now-abstract Agent class. Coalesce context/message
into user/message (injected context is a non-user source). Replace
agent/queued with agent/inbox/enqueue/dequeue/discard, add cancel
keepInbox, and add a FIFO-conservation invariant.
Rename the six model-facing tools pty_* -> terminal_* and align every
description, guidance section, ACP card title, and rendered result to
terminal terminology. Package and service internals keep their technical
PTY names (PtyService, "unknown PTY session", node-pty).
Harden the local backend teardown:
- a failed close is retryable: drop the memoized rejection so a later
terminal_close re-runs against the live process table
- service disposal clears the backend, reservation, and owner-cleanup
registries even when a close fails
- stop readiness polling before teardown so an in-flight send settles as
session_exit instead of a mis-inferred wait reason
- bound the sanitizer's pending buffer against unterminated escape runs
Update the tool catalog, package READMEs, the bilingual Agent Note, and the
acp/headless pty-tools snapshots to match.
