The composer ring, percentage, and `~used / capacity` header read
`contextPressure.pressureTokens`, which moves only when a request reports
usage. Compaction reports none — compact-basic summarizes through a direct
`ctx.llm.stream()` call and appends only its own `compact/*` records plus the
replacement `user/message` — so the meter was frozen across the one action
taken to change it. Driving a real `compactNow` through the agent loop:
BEFORE compact: ring=4% header=~4227/100000 rows=[18, 0, 4365]
AFTER compact: ring=4% header=~4227/100000 rows=[18, 0, 286]
The composition rows fell 93%; the ring did not move, and would not until an
entire further turn completed. The panel then contradicted itself by more than
an order of magnitude at exactly the moment a reader opens it.
`contextPressure` now also publishes `projectedTokens`: the provider sample
plus the heuristic repricing of everything the surface gained or lost since
that sample, clamped at zero, folded through the shared `surface-fold.ts`. The
sample is stamped before the same event joins the surface, so an
`assistant/message` anchors against the surface its own request carried. Only
the delta is estimated, so the figure stays provider-anchored — the estimator's
CJK and JSON-schema underpricing stays out of the occupancy number — while
reacting the moment content lands or a span is shadowed. Same run after:
BEFORE compact: ring=4% header=~4323/100000 (pressure=4227, projected=4323)
AFTER compact: ring=0% header=~ 244/100000 (pressure=4227, projected= 244)
`contextOccupancy` prefers the projected figure and falls back to the bare
sample, so a projection restored from a pre-field checkpoint degrades to the
old behavior rather than disappearing. `stateVersion` moves to 3.
`contextBreakdown.messageTokens` and `measure().surfaceTokens` answer the same
question in the same heuristic vocabulary, and the panel's composition rows are
only honest while they agree. Each owner carried its own copy of the positional
fold — same pricing, same `{seq, tokens}` node list, same replace-range lookup
and guard, differing only in mutable versus immutable application — so an edit
to either one would have moved the panel away from `measure()` with both sides
still green. The duplication gate caught the shared 62 tokens.
`src/surface-fold.ts` now owns `foldSurfaceTokens`: total, allocation-fresh,
returning the event's price, the next surface, and the signed total delta. The
service assigns that result where it used to prepare a commit closure, which
keeps its validate-before-mutate replay transaction intact — the fold throws
before any state is touched, so a malformed event still fails identically on
every retry. `_prepareSurfaceMutation` and `_estimateSurfaceEvent` go away with
it, and the projection's apply drops to one call.
Covers the identity with a session that appends and then compacts, asserting
the projection figure equals the service surface at each boundary; the test
fails when either side of the fold is perturbed.
The panel header concatenated a `45%` span with a `context.used` fragment, so
Chinese rendered "45% 上下文已用" against the ring's own "上下文已用 45%". The
header now renders the one localized `context.aria` sentence split around its
`{percent}` slot: each locale owns the reading's position while the reading
keeps its primary tone, and the side a locale leaves empty collapses through
`.headline:empty` instead of spending a header gap.
The bar mapped every composition row to a segment unconditionally, and
`.segment`'s 2px min-width kept each one visible, so a 0% occupancy panel
painted an ~8px filled bar over an empty context. Parts are now computed with
their widths and zero-width parts are filtered out, which also collapses the
plain and segmented branches into one map.
Assistant footers and the stats line gain TTFT/tok-per-second readings
folded from step timings; context occupancy moves off the stats line onto
a composer ring whose panel shows a heuristic system/tools/messages
breakdown from the new token-meter contextBreakdown session projection.
The win32 tier is exactly the koffi IFileOpenDialog child process; any failure surfaces as-is. The pwsh -> Windows PowerShell 5.1 cascade, the shared WinForms script, and the triple-miss AggregateError are deleted: koffi is a packaged dependency whose availability the install guarantees, so no mechanism fallback exists (the browse backend remains the fallback at the composition level). The pwsh-first DPI picker-fix note is consolidated into a new simplification note recording the reversal.
The koffi redesign moved the dialog from a spawned child process (which
inherits a foreground-activation right from the spawning app) onto a worker
thread of the same process, so Windows shows the dialog without activating
it — it opens behind the app with a taskbar flash. The app has no native
HWND to hand the seam, so raise from the driver: on the 'showing' notice
(the worker posts it right before Show, before the dialog window exists),
attach this thread's input queue to the dialog thread's, call
SetForegroundWindow on its top-level window, and detach — retried on the
close cadence until the window appears, stopped on settle/abort/success,
never blocking the pick. Injectable seam mirrors closeThreadWindows; driver
tests pin the raise and its retry; the in-process note records the
mechanism (both languages, pairing re-recorded).
The Description paragraph attributed the modern dialog's bottom-strip
rendering to '.NET 10', an unverifiable version the code comment
deliberately avoids (the same invented-version class flagged in round one).
Say 'the modern FolderBrowserDialog' on both language sides; pairing
re-recorded. Round-five review finding.
The round-four review's v6 pass found three factual gaps and the v5 pass two
nits. Correct them before merge:
- The in-process note claimed a koffi signature mistake is 'contained to
the worker thread' — worker_threads share the process, so a native access
violation takes down the whole Node process with no PowerShell fallback.
State the real blast radius and record the deferred pkg-VFS worker-spawn
arm in Consequences (both languages, pairing re-recorded).
- The 2026-07-27 picker note claimed unconditional 'per-monitor-v2 DPI';
PMv2-less hosts (Server 2016 / Win10 1607) cascade to per-monitor or
system-aware. Say 'the best thread DPI awareness the host accepts'
(both languages, pairing re-recorded).
- built-worker.e2e.ts was not in any keyless gate (vitest.e2e config is
not part of the default unit run and builtBinSmokeGate's explicit list
missed it), so lib/worker.cjs load regressions passed keyless CI. Add it
to builtBinSmokeGate alongside the workflow-workerthread sibling.
- Remove the dead trailing 'void bindings' in win32-dialog-logic.spec.ts
and give native-picker.spec.ts the sibling module header it lacked.
- setThreadDpiAwareness checks SetThreadDpiAwarenessContext's return value
and cascades per-monitor-v2 -> per-monitor -> system-aware; DPI stays a
deliberate cosmetic best-effort - a host accepting none (or lacking the
API, pre-1607) still gets the modern dialog instead of a downgrade to the
legacy fallback chain over a cosmetic concern.
- The mocked-koffi world now uses a distinctive 4-byte pointer width and
rejects mis-sized out-buffers and mis-divided vtable offsets, so a
regression to hardcoded 8s fails the suite (the ia32 bug class).
- A keyless built-worker e2e guard loads lib/worker.cjs under plain
worker_threads on POSIX (the workflow-workerthread shape).
- The 'loaded lazily' module claims are reworded to attribute laziness to
the dynamic import('koffi') calls, and the discarded close-attempt
rejection is named at its catch.
Review round two on the in-process dialog:
- Vtable slots and out-pointers use koffi.sizeof('void *') instead of a
hardcoded 8 - win32-ia32 (which Node and koffi both ship) would have read
method pointers from the wrong address and crashed in-process before any
fallback could run.
- runFolderDialog pairs every successful (incl. S_FALSE) CoInitializeEx
with CoUninitialize in the outermost finally, releasing the dialog first;
a failed init is deliberately unpaired. Pinned across fake-bindings and
mocked-koffi suites.
- The abort close budget starts unconditionally: a worker hung before the
showing notice (koffi import or COM init) now ends in terminate instead
of a dangling promise; WM_CLOSE posting still waits for the thread id.
- A triple miss (dialog + pwsh + 5.1) surfaces an AggregateError carrying
all three causes - the in-process tier's reason was previously
unrecoverable from the final PowerShell error.
- The stray '=>{ ' formatter artifacts are normalized to real blocks.
Both stale note claims from the review are fixed: the DPI note's
Consequences no longer claims an ENOENT classification or zero new
dependencies, and the 2026-07-27 picker note's Windows bullet now names
the in-process primary and keeps the PowerShell chain as fallback (both
languages, pairings re-recorded).
The modern IFileOpenDialog becomes the primary win32 tier: a koffi-driven
COM conversation on a worker_threads worker (the modal Show never blocks
the host event loop), per-monitor-v2 DPI via SetThreadDpiAwarenessContext,
and abort service by re-posting WM_CLOSE to the dialog thread's windows,
with terminate+unref as the last resort (Node cannot interrupt a thread
blocked in native code, and such a worker must never hold the process open).
The PowerShell chain stays as the fallback tier with its trigger widened
from ENOENT to any pwsh failure, closing the review-flagged PowerShell 6
regression (no WinForms: exit 1, not ENOENT, so 5.1 never ran).
Layering keeps per-file coverage honest on every host: pure sequencing and
the driver test against fakes anywhere; the bindings run against a mocked
koffi COM world (the session-persistence-jsonl technique); POSIX hosts
drive the real spawn plumbing to its koffi-load rejection; win32 hosts run
a real open-and-abort-close smoke. The smoke joins processBoundTests: a
worker blocked in a native modal wedges the threads pool's teardown, while
a fork contains it. The worker bundles as its own CJS tsdown entry
(workflow-workerthread's pattern; no TLA), and the host module is imported
statically so the node-half bundle stays chunk-free.
Built-plane and real-COM behavior verified on native Windows: standalone
probes for the source worker, the built CJS worker, and the driver's abort
path all open and close the real dialog.
Agent Notes: new implemented/feature/2026-08-02-win32-in-process-folder-dialog
(bilingual) owns the decision; the DPI note is re-scoped to the fallback tier
it now describes and its AutoUpgradeEnabled attribution corrected (.NET Core
3.0 rewrote FolderBrowserDialog; the opt-out arrived in .NET 6).
.NET 10's modern FolderBrowserDialog renders Description as a bottom
strip above the folder input, and the 5.1 classic dialog as an unthemed
white box; the property is dropped entirely and a regression assertion
pins its absence.
README pairs document the pwsh-preferred adapter and the PowerShell 7
requirement for the modern dialog; the 2026-07-27 picker note's Windows
adapter fact is updated in place, and a new bug-fix note records the
defect, the fallback decision, and the DPI awareness rationale.
