* fix(orchestration): complete worker tasks and improve coordinator UX
* Fix orchestration lifecycle sender resolution and peek/check compat hand
- Lifecycle sends (worker_done/heartbeat) now use ORCA_TERMINAL_HANDLE
verbatim, skipping the liveness probe and pane remint that could
block delivery during restarts or mismatch stale-runtime assignee
handles.
- --peek now round-trips as {peek:true, unread:false} so older runtimes
that strip unknown params degrade to non-destructive "all" instead of
mark-read, with client-side filtering to restore peek semantics and a
clear error when --peek --wait can't be honored.
- Reject combined read-mode flags (--unread/--peek/--all) before calling
the runtime.
- Distinguish suppressed (already-consumed) lifecycle messages from
ignored ones so send doesn't wake --wait waiters for stale heartbeats.
- Fix task summary truncation to avoid splitting UTF-16 surrogate pairs
and to not misreport whitespace normalization as truncation.
* Add shared helper to abbreviate orchestration task specs for brief listi
- Normalizes whitespace and caps spec length at 160 chars, flagging
truncation separately from whitespace-only changes
- Truncates on UTF-16 code point boundaries to avoid splitting
surrogate pairs and emitting malformed strings
* Add pane-key identity to worker_done/heartbeat reconciliation and server
- Records the sender's pane key on messages and dispatch contexts so
worker_done/heartbeat ownership can be verified by the remint-stable
pane leaf instead of the terminal handle, which is reissued across
restarts.
- Rejects lifecycle messages from a genuinely foreign pane while still
tolerating handle remints, tab break-outs, and older CLIs that lack
pane identity.
- Moves task-spec abbreviation server-side (orchestration.taskList
--brief) so full specs no longer cross SSH/relay transports, with a
client-side fallback for older runtimes; consolidates the shared
abbreviation helper under src/shared.
- Adds a stderr warning when a pre-peek runtime's --peek response hits
the 100-row cap, since older unread messages may be missing.
* Isolate ORCA_PANE_KEY in CLI test beforeEach to fix leaked senderPaneKey

* Fix pane-key remint bypassing dispatch mutual-exclusion lock
- Dispatch locking only matched on assignee_handle, so a reminted
terminal handle (tab break-out) could open a second concurrent
dispatch on the same pane.
- Add leaf-UUID-based pane key comparison (parsePaneKey) as a
secondary lock, falling back to exact handle match for legacy
rows without pane keys.
* Update orchestration skill docs for lifecycle authority and CLI flag add
- Clarify that dispatch lifecycle is tied to taskId+dispatchId verified against
the dispatched pane, not the terminal handle, since handles can be reminted
after restart
- Document new `check --peek`/`--all` and `task-list --brief` flags, with
fallback guidance for older CLIs that reject them
- Note that a valid worker_done auto-completes the task/dispatch, so workers
shouldn't also call task-update manually

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
