Merge pane-header-shared: v2.7.7 shared pane-header cluster + chat-resolve WorkspaceState fix

In-flight workspace UX work.

- Extract a shared PaneHeaderActions cluster (+/Split/Reopen/History/Close)
  used by ChatTabBar + the Workspace coder/terminal pane headers, replacing the
  divergent per-header copies; SessionLandingPage history + useWorkspacePanes
  tweaks.
- Fix coder-side correctness bug: resolveChatId read sessions.workspace_panes as
  a bare WorkspacePane[] but v2.6.5 widened it to a WorkspaceState envelope, so
  it mis-read panes and clobbered tabNumbers/nextTabNumber/closedPaneStack on
  every pane-chat write. New normalizeWorkspaceState handles either shape and
  preserves the envelope (+ regression test).
- CLAUDE.md doc-sync (coder vitest suite, deploy-by-surface, dual-remote push,
  in-flight-web-WIP staging, release-branch naming).

Web tsc + coder build + coder tests green. Builds on v2.7.6.

+
+In-flight workspace UX work, committed alongside the v2.7 review batches. Extracts a shared `PaneHeaderActions` cluster (the +/Split/Reopen-closed-pane/Session-history/Close controls) used across the `ChatTabBar` and the desktop coder + terminal pane headers in `Workspace`, replacing the divergent per-header copies, with `SessionLandingPage` history enhancements and `useWorkspacePanes` tweaks. Also fixes a coder-side correctness bug: `resolveChatId` (`apps/coder/src/routes/chat-resolve.ts`) still read `sessions.workspace_panes` as a bare `WorkspacePane[]`, but `v2.6.5-panes-tabs-composer` widened it to a `WorkspaceState` envelope — so it mis-read the panes and, worse, clobbered `tabNumbers`/`nextTabNumber`/`closedPaneStack` back to a bare array on every pane-chat write; a new `normalizeWorkspaceState` accepts either shape and preserves the envelope (with a regression test). Plus a CLAUDE.md doc-sync (apps/coder vitest suite, deploy-by-surface, dual-remote push, in-flight-web-WIP staging, release-branch naming). Web tsc + coder build + coder tests green. Builds on `v2.7.6-agent-status-normalize`.
+
+## v2.7.6-agent-status-normalize — 2026-06-01
+
+The scoped half of `boocode_code_review_v2.md` §1 #10 — normalized external-agent status, surfaced from BooCoder's own dispatch observation (the heavier config-injection notify-hook, clean-room from superset's ELv2 `agent-setup`, is documented as the follow-on). The review's premise ("PTY agents have no status") had partly aged out — warm-ACP/opencode/SDK already carry working/done — so the real gap was that BooCoder never *published* a normalized per-`(chat,agent)` status (blocked-on-permission was invisible; crash/idle weren't pushed). Adds an `agent_status_updated` WS frame (`working|blocked|idle|error`, server+web parity) published from the dispatcher's turn boundaries across all four external paths (warm-acp/opencode/sdk/pty — `working` at start, `idle`/`error` at end) and the permission flow (`blocked` on request, `working` on resolve), best-effort so it never breaks a turn. A clean-room `normalizeAgentEvent` helper (superset's ~30-vendor-event → Start/blocked/Stop collapse, reimplemented with the event names as facts) ships now with 25 tests so the deferred notify-hook injection reuses it verbatim. The `AgentComposerBar` gains a normalized status dot (working=spinner, blocked=amber, idle=gray, error=red) distinct from the WS-liveness dot, fed by a `useAgentStatus` map `CoderPane` tracks per `(chat,agent)`. Built by two parallel agents (data plane + view plane) against a pinned frame contract; server 545 + coder 294 tests passing (25 new), web tsc + builds clean, ws-frames parity green. Clears the actionable review backlog (#1/#3/#4/#6–#12). Builds on `v2.7.5-claude-sdk-sessionstore`; openspec `agent-status-normalize`.

 ## v2.7.5-claude-sdk-sessionstore — 2026-06-01
 
 Lands the Claude Agent SDK direction (`boocode_code_review_v2.md` §1 #9, §6.2 "lean SDK") behind a flag. Adds `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk@0.3.159` (Commercial Terms — runtime dep, code reference-only) and builds a warm, resumable claude backend to supersede one-shot PTY dispatch — env-gated (`CLAUDE_SDK_BACKEND`, default off) so production claude stays on the unchanged PTY path until a host smoke. **Clean-room `PostgresSessionStore`** implements the SDK's real `SessionStore` type (`append`/`load`/`listSessions`/`delete`/`listSubkeys`) over a new `claude_session_entries` table — typechecked against the installed SDK type, 8 DB-integration tests. **`ClaudeSdkBackend`** (`implements AgentBackend`, mirroring warm-acp/opencode-server) drives one persistent `query()` per `(chat,'claude')` in streaming-input mode via a pushable async-iterable pump, with `sessionStore` + `resume` for cross-turn/cross-restart continuity, a pure `mapSdkMessage`→`AgentEvent` mapper, `session_id` captured from the `init` message, and `result.usage`/`total_cost_usd` accumulated onto `agent_sessions` (backend CHECK gains `'claude_sdk'`). Built against the REAL SDK 0.3.159 types after installing it — surfacing shapes a blind build would have missed (`SDKPartialAssistantMessage` is `type:'stream_event'` needing `includePartialMessages`; `SDKUserMessage.message` is `MessageParam`; the `SDKResultMessage` error arm). Also fixes a latent test-infra deadlock — three DB-integration suites applying the full schema in parallel under `DATABASE_URL` deadlocked, now serialized via `fileParallelism:false`. ~32 new tests (8 store + 10 mapper + 8 pushable + 6 routing); coder suite 269 passing default / 290 with DB; tsc clean against the SDK types; builds clean. **The live streaming pump + resume + an actual claude turn need a host smoke (`CLAUDE_SDK_BACKEND=1` + claude binary + ANTHROPIC auth) — cannot run from the dev container.** The zod peer-dep wants `^4` (workspace `3.25`) — watch at runtime. Builds on `v2.7.4-mistake-tracker-ledger`; openspec `claude-sdk-sessionstore`.

 - **Workspace dependency on `@boocode/server`**: imports `createInferenceRunner`, `createBroker`, `ALL_TOOLS`, `appendMcpTools` from the server's compiled `dist/`. apps/server's `package.json` has an `exports` map with `types` conditions for NodeNext resolution. apps/server must build FIRST.
 - Build + deploy: `pnpm -C apps/server build && pnpm -C apps/coder build && sudo systemctl restart boocoder`. Env file at `apps/coder/.env.host`. Service file at `/etc/systemd/system/boocoder.service`.
 - After `pnpm -C apps/coder build` the host `boocoder.service` keeps running the OLD process until `sudo systemctl restart boocoder` — a stale process shows **new routes 404 with `{error:'not found'}` while old routes still 200** (the `/api` not-found handler returns that shape). Restart, don't re-debug.
+- **Deploy by surface:** an `apps/coder` change → `sudo systemctl restart boocoder`; an `apps/web` or `apps/server` change → `docker compose up --build -d boocode` (rebuilds web+server from the working tree). `:9502/api/health` is down ~15–20s after a boocoder restart while the startup agent-probe scan runs — retry; an early connection-refused is not a failed deploy.
 - Agent dispatch spawns binaries directly using `install_path` from `available_agents` — no `spawn('sh', ['-c', ...])` (fails under systemd). Follows Paseo's pattern: `spawn(fullBinaryPath, argsArray, { cwd })`.
 - systemd hardening: only `NoNewPrivileges=true` is safe. `ProtectSystem`, `ProtectHome`, `PrivateTmp` all break agent dispatch (agents need full filesystem access to read configs, write to worktrees).

 ## Workflow
 
 - Sam reviews all diffs and commits manually. Do not commit unless explicitly asked.
+- Sam often has uncommitted `apps/web` work in flight mid-session — stage your own commits **explicitly by path** (never `git add -A`); and `docker compose up --build -d boocode` builds the working tree, so a container rebuild also ships his uncommitted web changes.
+- Cutting a release: name the feature branch DIFFERENTLY from the tag (branch `f1-interrupt-guard`, tag `v2.6.7-interrupt-guard`) — identical branch+tag names trigger `warning: refname ... is ambiguous`.
 - Per-batch docs live under `openspec/changes/<slug>/{proposal,tasks,design}.md`. Already-shipped batches are snapshots in `openspec/changes/archived/`. New batches follow the proposal+tasks shape; see `openspec/README.md` for the convention.
 - Tag naming: `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-slug` (e.g. `v1.13.13-ws-publish`). Monotonic per minor — the slug describes the batch's content so the tag name alone is enough to recall what shipped. No letter suffixes (`-a`/`-b`), no pseudo-ranges (`v1.11.x`), no slug-only sub-versions sharing a number (`v1.13.15-tools` + `-openspec` + `-agentlint` — split into sequential patches instead).
 - `CHANGELOG.md` is the per-tag release log, most-recent on top. When a new tag is created, add a `## <tag> — <YYYY-MM-DD>` section with a 3–6 sentence paragraph summarizing what shipped, drawn from the commit body. Cross-reference other tags by name when the batch builds on, fixes, or pairs with prior work (e.g. "pairs with `v1.13.12-ws-schemas`", "fixed in `v1.13.5-stability-bundle`"). No nested bullets — one paragraph.
 - Deploy: `cd /opt/boocode && docker compose up --build -d` (or `docker compose build --no-cache boocode && docker compose up -d` if you suspect a layer-cache issue).
 - The `boocode` container is `build: .` — it builds web+server from the **working tree**, so uncommitted changes deploy. Web edits are live on the Vite dev server (HMR) but NOT on production (`:9500` / code.indifferentketchup.com) until `docker compose up --build -d boocode`.
-- Git push to Gitea: `GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i /opt/boocode/secrets/boocode_gitea -o IdentitiesOnly=yes" git push origin <branch>`. The default agent identity is rejected; the in-repo deploy key (`secrets/`, gitignored) is the working one. Transient `Connection reset by peer` retries cleanly after `sleep 5`.
+- Git push to Gitea: `GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i /opt/boocode/secrets/boocode_gitea -o IdentitiesOnly=yes" git push origin <branch>`. The default agent identity is rejected; the in-repo deploy key (`secrets/`, gitignored) is the working one. Transient `Connection reset by peer` retries cleanly after `sleep 5`. Keep both remotes synced: push `main` + the release tag to `origin` (Gitea, deploy key above) AND `backup` (`git@github.com:indifferentketchup/boocode.git`, default key).
 - Don't accumulate `.bak-*` files. Clean them up in the same batch or immediately after merge.
 - DB-integration tests opt-in via env var: `DATABASE_URL='postgres://boocode:devpass@localhost:5500/boochat' pnpm -C apps/server test`. Host port is 5500 (mapped from `boocode_db:5432`); password is `${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}` from `.env` (`devpass`), NOT the literal in `.env`'s `DATABASE_URL=postgres://boocode:Ketchup1479@boocode_db:5432/...` line. `psql` is not on the host PATH — for an interactive query use `docker exec boocode_db psql -U boocode -d boochat -c "..."`. Pattern: `describe.runIf(!!process.env.DATABASE_URL)(...)` with a `beforeAll` that applies the schema via `sql.unsafe(readFileSync(schemaPath))`. Tests skip cleanly when var is unset. `tool_cost_stats.test.ts` is the reference.
 - Host-side smoke endpoint: `curl http://100.114.205.53:9500/api/...`. The boocode container's port mapping binds to the Tailscale IP, not `0.0.0.0`, so `localhost:9500` doesn't work from the host shell. Same for booterm at `:9501`.

+ * provider-specific approval events (`exec_approval_request`). This module

+ *   blocked  — the agent is waiting on a human (permission / approval / question)
+ *   done     — the turn / session ended cleanly
+ *
+ * `null` is returned for anything unrecognized so callers can ignore noise.
+ *
+ * Built now for the scoped status-publish, but specifically shaped for reuse by
+ * the documented config-injection follow-on: a future notify-hook injected into
+ * each agent's native config will POST the RAW vendor event name to a BooCoder
+ * endpoint, which runs this helper to derive the normalized status. The names

+# Normalized external-agent status (#10, scoped)
+
+**Status:** in progress (started 2026-06-01)
+**Source:** `boocode_code_review_v2.md` §1 #10, §5j (superset, Elastic License 2.0 — PATTERN-ONLY,
+clean-room; `/opt/forks/superset/.../map-event-type.ts`, `notify-hook.template.sh`, `agent-setup/*`).
+**Decision (Sam, 2026-06-01):** scoped status-publish now; config-injection notify-hook as a follow-on.
+
+## Why (corrected premise)
+BooCoder already *observes* agent lifecycle (warm-acp/opencode/SDK backends know active/idle/crashed;
+the permission-waiter knows blocked) but never **publishes a normalized per-`(chat,agent)` status** to the
+UI — so blocked-on-permission is invisible and crash/idle aren't pushed proactively. The `AgentComposerBar`
+dot only shows WS liveness. This batch publishes the status BooCoder already knows; the heavier
+config-injection notify-hook (for out-of-band signals) is the documented follow-on.
+
+## State model (clean-room from superset's `mapEventType`)
+Superset collapses ~30 vendor event names → 3 signals: **Start** (working), **PermissionRequest**
+(blocked), **Stop** (done). BooCoder adds idle (after done) + error (crash/fail). Normalized status:
+`working | blocked | idle | error`.
+
+## Pinned frame contract (server + web, byte-identical, parity-tested)
+```ts
+{ type: 'agent_status_updated', chat_id: Uuid, agent: string,
+  status: 'working' | 'blocked' | 'idle' | 'error', reason?: string, at: IsoTimestamp }
+```
+Added to `apps/server/src/types/ws-frames.ts` AND `apps/web/src/api/ws-frames.ts` (the `ws-frames` parity
+test), plus the web `WsFrame` union in `apps/web/src/api/types.ts`. Published via the coder's
+`broker.publishFrame` (validated against the server `WsFrameSchema`).
+
+## Clean-room normalize helper (built now, reused by the injection follow-on)
+`apps/coder/src/services/normalize-agent-status.ts`:
+`normalizeAgentEvent(raw: string): 'working' | 'blocked' | 'done' | null` — a clean-room reimplementation
+of the vendor-event-name → bucket mapping (the event names are facts about each agent's hooks:
+`SessionStart`/`UserPromptSubmit`/`PostToolUse`→working; `PreToolUse`/`Notification`/`PermissionRequest`/
+`exec_approval_request`→blocked; `Stop`/`session_end`/`task_complete`→done). The scoped publish points use
+BooCoder's own already-normalized turn boundaries; this helper exists so the config-injection follow-on
+(which receives raw vendor event names POSTed from agent hooks) reuses it. Unit-tested.
+
+## Publish points (BooCoder's existing observation — no per-backend change)
+- Dispatcher (`dispatcher.ts`) turn boundaries, for every external-agent path (warm-acp/opencode/sdk/pty):
+  `working` at turn start, `idle` on clean completion, `error` on failure.
+- Permission-waiter (`permission-waiter.ts` / the `setPermissionHooks` publish in `index.ts`): `blocked`
+  when a permission is requested, back to `working` when resolved.
+A small `publishAgentStatus(broker, chatId, agent, status, reason?)` helper centralizes the frame.
+
+## Frontend
+- `CoderPane.tsx` tracks the latest `agent_status_updated` per `(chat, agent)` (a small live map; reset on
+  chat switch).
+- `AgentComposerBar.tsx` renders a normalized status dot beside the existing session chip (reuse the
+  `StatusDot` visual language: working=spinner/green, blocked=amber, idle=gray, error=red), distinct from
+  the WS-liveness `connected` dot.
+
+## Follow-on (documented, not built): config-injection notify-hook
+Clean-room re-derive superset's `agent-setup`: inject a notify hook into each agent's native config
+(claude `~/.claude/settings.json`, opencode plugin, codex/gemini templates) that POSTs
+`{agent, chat_id, eventType}` to a new `POST /api/coder/agent-status` endpoint, which runs
+`normalizeAgentEvent` → publishes the SAME `agent_status_updated` frame. Reuses everything this batch
+builds. Catches out-of-band signals BooCoder's dispatch can't see.
+
+## Verify
+- `pnpm -C apps/coder test` (+ normalize-agent-status tests) + `pnpm -C apps/server test` (ws-frames parity)
+- `pnpm -C apps/server build && pnpm -C apps/coder build`; `npx tsc -p apps/web/tsconfig.app.json --noEmit`
