c89b315aa7 feat(trail-boss): phase 1-2 - PermissionRequest probe and emitter
Phase 1: Probed PermissionRequest hook, confirmed firing + payload shape.
Documented in docs/research/claude-code-mechanics.md.

Phase 2: Built trailboss-emit.sh that forwards hook payloads to collector
and injects $TMUX_PANE. Wired all hooks in .claude/settings.json.

Verified: stub collector logs POSTs with session_id, cwd, and pane_id.
Demonstrated bare curl drops $TMUX_PANE, proving wrapper required.

18bf11577a docs(plan): add Testing & validation — exit criteria, acceptance scenarios, harness
The plan defined deliverables but no definition of done. Add a "Testing &
validation" section: a per-phase exit-criteria table, seven acceptance
scenarios (AS-1..AS-7, incl. reconcile self-correction, dropped-event
recovery, skip/cooldown, no-forced-focus-steal, pane reuse), a test harness
(synthetic event injection, throwaway-tmux isolation, transcript fixtures,
mock hook emitter, navigation assertion, invariant checks), and a quality
gate. Point the marathon instruction at these as the definition of done.

0276706340 docs(plan): specify the switching & keybindings surface
Add a "Switching & keybindings" section: global prefix bindings that call the
daemon via run-shell — Next (jump to head-of-queue pane), Popup (display-popup
picker), Skip (tail+cooldown then advance) — plus a status-line segment.
Documents the prefix-not-bare-key constraint and why the jump is the keypress,
never automatic. Resolves open questions 3 and 4 down to polish.

f6f31ceaea docs: gap-review round 3 — reason enum, skip-cooldown ordering, label fixes
- MEDIUM: reason enum stated as exactly {permission, stopped} (drop stray
  "stopped/needs-next" third label)
- MEDIUM: specify oldest-READY-stuck-first — a cooldowned skipped item is not
  eligible to be the head; advance to next ready item, else present empty
- MEDIUM: SubagentStop downgraded from "Confirmed" to "exists; not probed"
  (probe only saw SessionStart/Stop)
- LOW: agent-inbox reuse reworded (Trail Boss actions are navigate-and-reply /
  skip, not accept/edit/ignore); note permission_mode is display-only

4e1b8a9cf2 docs: gap-review round 2 — fix hook-wiring self-contradiction
- HIGH: settings.json example wired PermissionRequest to a bare curl that drops
  the env-only $TMUX_PANE; route all hooks through trailboss-emit.sh (which
  injects $TMUX_PANE) and note SessionStart is not special
- MEDIUM: remove the stray trailboss-register.sh (contradicted "registry
  self-heals on every emit"); single emitter script
- LOW: add struck-through SubagentStop row to plan detection table; clarify
  disler's store is append-only (not "read-only")

675c1e531d docs: gap-review round 1 — reconcile supporting docs + close spec gaps
Fix 10 gaps found by fresh-eyes review:
- CRITICAL: mechanics doc still documented send-keys-relay/Agent-SDK delivery
  and the Notification hook; rewrote DELIVER to the navigator model, dropped
  Notification throughout
- HIGH: decisions.md + related-work.md still referenced priority "ranking",
  /reply dispatch, send-keys/SDK delivery, and the dead plan/question/idle
  reason taxonomy; aligned to FIFO + navigation + permission/stopped
- collector and daemon stated as one process; pull-not-broadcast presentation
- added trust boundary (loopback-only ingest, single-host trust assumption)
- resolved auto-advance focus-steal hazard (operator-initiated jump) and
  specified skip re-ordering (move to tail + cooldown) to avoid livelock
- downgraded SessionEnd to "not yet probed" (probe only saw SessionStart/Stop)
- dropped forked collector's WebSocket layer; most-stuck → oldest-stuck (FIFO)

ca08cbbead docs: simplify to flat FIFO dead-letter queue + harness adapter seam
Resolve open questions from the design session:
- Stuck is stuck: no permission-vs-stopped priority; reason is display-only;
  queue is a flat FIFO dead-letter queue (Stop AND PermissionRequest still
  both required — permission blocks emit no Stop)
- Drop Notification entirely
- Auto-advance depletion loop: next stuck session loads on resolve/skip;
  saturation is a non-issue by construction
- New primary open question: harness-coupled detection vs harness-agnostic
  core, via a normalized stuck/unstuck adapter contract (switching is already
  tmux-level/harness-agnostic)
- Reboot: operator re-invokes manually (no auto-resurrection in v1)

4784c61e4c docs: rework plan around navigator model + confirmed hook mechanics
Major design update from the design session:
- Human-on-the-loop framing; "stopped = needs attention" axiom
- Navigator-not-relay delivery via tmux (switch/link), resume + remote-control
  ruled out; live-panes (Model A) chosen over transcript-sessions (Model B)
- Daemon + presentation split; tmux-native durability across disconnect, with
  backlog accumulation while detached
- Transcript-as-ground-truth reconcile loop; non-goals; failure modes/invariants
- Probe-confirmed mechanics (2026-05-25): $TMUX_PANE + identity in hook env,
  Stop carries last_assistant_message, both interactive and -p fire hooks

f5e66b831c Initial commit: Trail Boss design docs
Single-pane attention router for interactive AI coding agents: stuck sessions
surface in one prioritized queue (most-stuck first) via Claude Code hooks, and
your reply is delivered back into the exact session.
