+## v2.6.9-warm-acp — 2026-05-31
+
+v2.6 Phase 2: goose and qwen now run as **warm ACP backends** instead of one-shot-per-task. A new `WarmAcpBackend` (`backends/warm-acp.ts`, implementing the same `AgentBackend` interface as the opencode warm server) holds one persistent `goose acp` / `qwen --acp` child + `ClientSideConnection` + ACP session per `(chat, agent)`, running `initialize` + `session/new` once and reusing the connection across turns; per-turn abort cancels the in-flight prompt (`session/cancel`) without killing the child, and a child exit marks `agent_sessions.status='crashed'` for re-spawn on the next turn. The dispatcher routes `goose`/`qwen` chat-tab tasks to the pooled warm backend via a pure `shouldUseWarmBackend(task)` predicate (warm only when both `session_id` and `chat_id` are set), keeping the one-shot `runExternalAgent` path as the fallback for session-less creators (arena, MCP, `new_task`); broker frames + `persistExternalAgentTurn` + the latest-wins `pending_changes` diff are identical to the opencode path. The `acp-dispatch.ts` `handleSessionUpdate` switch was extracted into a pure shared `acp-event-map.ts` mapper used by both the one-shot and warm paths (one-shot behavior byte-identical, all existing acp tests green). The design's `unstable_resumeSession` concern is resolved — the installed `@agentclientprotocol/sdk@^0.22.1` exposes stable `resumeSession`/`loadSession`, but resume is moot in the hot path (warm reuse needs none); cross-restart resume + idle eviction are deferred to Phase 3. Built test-first (15 new tests: `warm-acp-routing`, `acp-event-map`); 180 coder tests pass, tsc + build clean. **Smoke 2/2b (live two-message warm reuse + the opencode→boocode→opencode switch round-trip) to be run post-deploy.** Phase 3 (lifecycle hardening) is the last v2.6 phase.
+
 ## v2.6.8-agent-attribution — 2026-05-31
 
 v2.6 Phase 1-UX: agent attribution + switch affordances over the already-shipped `pending_changes.agent` column and `agent_sessions` table (read+display, no new backend capability). **Backend:** `pending_changes.agent` is now stamped at every queue site (native write tools → `'boocode'`, dispatched external agents → the task's agent, manual RightRail create → `NULL`) and flows through `listPending`; a new `GET /api/sessions/:id/agent-sessions` route returns `[{agent,status,has_session,last_active_at}]` per `(chat,agent)` for the session's chats; and the opencode warm-server backend consumes opencode's `session.next.step.ended` events, accumulating `input_tokens`/`output_tokens`/`cost` onto the `agent_sessions` row (new columns, idempotent). **Frontend:** the BooCoder DiffPanel renders a per-row agent badge (provider icon + label; `null` → "manual") with a "Changes from X, Y" note when a pending set spans multiple agents, and the AgentComposerBar shows a resumed / history / new-session chip beside the Provider picker — gated on an optional `sessionId` prop so BooChat is unaffected — driven by a new `useAgentSessions` hook that refetches on message-complete; `providerIcon` was extracted to a shared `components/coder/providerIcons.tsx`. Built by three parallel subagents over disjoint file sets; web + coder typecheck clean, 165 coder tests pass (9 new across `opencode-usage` and `agent-sessions.routes`). U.6's persisted token totals are conversation-cumulative and not yet surfaced in the UI (deferred). Implements the U.1–U.6 "remaining" plan from the v2.6 openspec reconciliation; Phase 2 (warm ACP goose/qwen) + Phase 3 (lifecycle hardening) remain.

+ * those to WS frames + `persistExternalAgentTurn`, unchanged.
+ *
+ * Lifecycle decisions (design.md §2b / §10):
+ *   - **Child lifetime is the pool's, not a request's.** Spawned once; never tied
+ *     to a per-turn abort signal. Only the in-flight `prompt` gets `ctx.signal` —
+ *     abort = ACP `session/cancel`, NOT killing the child.
+ *   - **Per-turn abort** cancels the prompt on the warm connection so the SAME
+ *     process serves the next turn.
+ *   - **Crash** (child exit) marks `agent_sessions.status='crashed'` + logs; the
+ *     next `ensureSession` re-spawns + re-`session/new` (Phase 3 hardens auto-restart).
+ *   - **Resume across a process restart is NOT attempted in Phase 2.** goose ACP
+ *     advertises no `loadSession`/`session.resume`; qwen does, but cross-restart
+ *     resume is Phase 3. Within ONE live process the ACP session persists across
+ *     turns (the whole point of "warm"); a restart re-`session/new` (memory loss
+ *     across restart, accepted per §10). The agent's resume capabilities ARE
+ *     probed and logged for forward-compat.
+ *
+ * Each WarmAcpBackend instance owns exactly one (chat, agent) — the dispatcher
+ * pools them under `agentPool.register(chatId, agent, backend)`.
+ *
+ * SDK note (@agentclientprotocol/sdk@^0.22.1, cross-checked against the design's
+ * `^0.14` worry): the resume method is the STABLE `resumeSession` (`session/resume`,
+ * gated by `agentCapabilities.sessionCapabilities.resume`), NOT the `^0.14`
+ * `unstable_resumeSession`. `loadSession` is gated by `agentCapabilities.loadSession`.

Removed the per-message "Open in pane" artifact button. *Persistence:* `sessions.workspace_panes` widened from bare `WorkspacePane[]` → a `WorkspaceState` envelope (`panes` + `tabNumbers`/`nextTabNumber` + `closedPaneStack`); PATCH validator zod-unions legacy-array-or-envelope and migrates on write; `session_workspace_updated` WS frame widened (web+server byte-identical, parity test green). *Composer:* morphing **Send → Stop → Queue** button keyed on `sending || activeTaskId` (folds in the standalone Stop pill, adds `cancelTask`); pasted chips trail the typed text so a leading slash stays first. *Tooling:* new read-only `read_tab_by_number` tool + an optional `ToolExecCtx` (`{ sql, sessionId }`) 4th arg on `ToolDef.execute`

 - `v2.6.7-interrupt-guard` — **F.1 fix:** post-interrupt stale-terminal bug in the opencode warm-server backend (one-click reachable since `v2.6.5`'s Stop button). opencode emits one trailing `session.idle`/`session.error` for a cancelled turn (sessionID only, no turn id) that settled the *next* turn early as success. Pure per-session guard (`backends/turn-guard.ts` — arm-on-abort / swallow-one-orphan / self-heal-on-activity) wired into `opencode-server.ts`; 3 regression tests (TDD).

New `WarmAcpBackend` (same `AgentBackend` interface as opencode); abort = `session/cancel` the prompt only (never kills the child); dispatcher routes goose/qwen chat-tab tasks via pure `shouldUseWarmBackend` (one-shot fallback kept for arena/MCP/`new_task`); `handleSessionUpdate` extracted to a shared pure `acp-event-map.ts` (one-shot path byte-identical).
