Subject: [PATCH 01/47] fix: root local runtime at home dir, not process.cwd()

The embedded desktop local runtime used process.cwd() as its data root.
When a packaged build is launched from a desktop launcher or file manager
(notably the Linux AppImage), cwd is `/` or the read-only squashfs mount
point, so creating `<cwd>/.fusion/fusion.db` failed with EACCES/EROFS and
the runtime never started ("Couldn't start local Fusion").

Resolve the root from the user's home directory instead, so data lives in
`~/.fusion` (consistent with the CLI), with a `FUSION_HOME` override.

+Fix "Couldn't start local Fusion" on the Linux AppImage (and any packaged build launched from a desktop launcher). The embedded local runtime now roots its data at the user's home directory (`~/.fusion`) instead of `process.cwd()`, which was `/` or the read-only AppImage mount point and caused database creation to fail with EACCES/EROFS. Set `FUSION_HOME` to override the location.

Subject: [PATCH 02/47] FN-6340: restrict archive action to done tasks

Limits task card archiving UI to completed tasks while preserving coverage for hidden states.

- Render the archive button only when a task is in the done column.
- Update TaskCard tests to assert archive action visibility for done tasks and absence for other live columns.
- Keep the header action placement assertion focused on done task cards.

Subject: [PATCH 03/47] FN-6342: mock optional workflow steps in mobile board
 tests

Keep the mobile board test API mock aligned with WorkflowSelector's optional-step loading.

- Add fetchWorkflowOptionalSteps to the dashboard API mock used by board-mobile tests.
- Return an empty optional-step list so WorkflowSelector mount effects can settle without missing mock failures.

Subject: [PATCH 04/47] FN-6325: speed up core stability tests

Classify the archive FTS churn and merge-queue hook timeouts as deterministic test-cost fixes instead of quarantines.

- Reduce the archive FTS churn fixture while preserving rebuild shrinkage and search coverage.
- Use in-memory TaskStore setup for merge-queue cases that do not require disk persistence.
- Keep disk-backed coverage for legacy migration and competing-store lease arbitration.
- Verification: targeted archive FTS + merge-queue run passed in 7.47s versus 27.69s before the fix.

Subject: [PATCH 05/47] FN-6345: show user steering messages in task chat

Display user steering comments alongside agent output and wake immediate-response agents when new messages are sent.

- Render persisted and optimistic user messages in the task chat transcript with mobile styling.
- Propagate updated task detail data after sends and roll back optimistic messages on failures.
- Cover steering route validation, immediate heartbeat wakeups, chat rendering, and workflow alias round-trips.
- Add a patch changeset for the published CLI package.

Subject: [PATCH 06/47] FN-6275: allow verified no-op completions

Allow executors to finish already-satisfied tasks without fabricating commits while preserving existing completion guards.

- Add leading sentinel parsing for premise-stale, no-op, duplicate, and redundant completion summaries.
- Permit zero-commit fn_task_done only for recognized sentinels or existing no-commit contracts, with audit log/activity details.
- Document the verified no-op completion contract and add regression coverage for accepted and refused paths.

 - **Scheduler fanout tiebreaker (FN-4969)**: within the same priority class, scheduler dispatch prefers runnable `todo` tasks with the highest active dependency-dependent fanout; `urgent` always outranks lower priorities regardless of fanout, and `overlapBlockedBy`/file-scope overlap blockers are excluded from unblock weight.
 - **Scheduler overlap priority/age guard (FN-5325)**: with `groupOverlappingFiles=true`, scheduler now defers a lower-priority (or younger same-priority) candidate when an overlapping queued todo task exists, preserving priority→age→task-id order for overlap serialization without preempting in-progress work. If the inversion is against an already-running lower-priority blocker, scheduler still defers the candidate; the per-pairing audit event was removed in FN-6174 due to zero consumers and table bloat.
 - **Empty-commit refusal + early empty-own-diff finalize (FN-5345/FN-5377)**: Fusion task worktrees install a `prepare-commit-msg` hook that refuses `git commit --allow-empty` and other zero-staged-diff commits, preventing verification-only tasks from manufacturing empty handoff commits that defeat the merger's no-op classifier. The hook allows legitimate empty-tree paths (amend, merge, squash, cherry-pick, revert, rebase). Amend detection tokenizes the parent process command line (`ps -o args=` with `/proc/$PPID/cmdline` fallback for Alpine/busybox) and stops at the first message-supplying flag (`-m`/`-F`/`--message`/`--file`) so a commit message containing the substring `--amend` cannot bypass the guard. In `aiMergeTask`, an early empty-own-diff fast-path runs BEFORE any reuse-handoff acquisition: when integration mode is `reuse-task-worktree`, the branch exists, `git rev-list --count <mergeTarget>..<branch>` is > 0, and `git diff --quiet <mergeBase>..<branch>` exits 0, the task auto-finalizes as no-op with `mergeDetails.noOpMerge: true` and emits `task:auto-recover-finalize-already-on-main` with `reason: "empty-own-diff-early-fast-path"`. The fast-path best-effort removes the stranded worktree (FN-4811 same-task/foreign-owner guard) and deletes the `fusion/<id>` branch so empty-own-diff residuals do not accumulate. This unsticks tasks where a stale empty handoff commit combined with drifted worktree↔branch mapping would otherwise wedge the handoff gate with `registered-branch-mismatch`. The explicit `cwd-integration-branch` mode is unchanged (`cwd-main` remains a deprecated alias normalized to it). `classifyOwnedLandedEvidence` also detects empty-own-diff (aheadCount > 0, zero net diff) and returns `proven-no-op` so downstream self-healing and post-handoff finalize paths benefit too. Additionally, merger's reuse-fallback path now consults `git worktree list --porcelain` before creating a new worktree: extant usable registrations of `fusion/<id>` are reused directly (rather than blindly `git worktree add -f` producing a duplicate registration), and stale registrations are pruned first. The direct-reuse shortcut is guarded by FN-4811 (refuses paths owned by a different task in `activeSessionRegistry`) and FN-4954 (skipped when `recycleWorktrees=true` with a pool attached, so `WorktreePool.acquire` lease bookkeeping stays consistent). Two audit subtypes — `merge:reuse-fallback-pruned-stale-registration` and `merge:reuse-fallback-reused-existing-registration` — replace the prior overloading of `merge:reuse-fallback-new-worktree` for these cases.
+- **Verified no-op/duplicate executor completion (FN-6275)**: explicit `fn_task_done` may complete with zero branch commits only when the summary starts with a recognized sentinel (`PREMISE STALE:`, `NO-OP:`, `NOOP:`, `DUPLICATE: FN-NNNN ...`, or `REDUNDANT:`) or the task already carries a no-commit contract. The sentinel only relaxes the `no_commits` invariant; `wrong_toplevel`, `wrong_branch`, pending-step/review refusals, and scope-leak guards still run. Accepted sentinel completions persist `noCommitsExpected: true`, write task-log audit details with marker kind/reason/raw summary/run/agent IDs, and add a task timeline activity so the no-code terminal path remains explainable. Ordinary zero-commit implementation completions without a leading sentinel are still refused.
 - **In-review branch-binding self-heal (FN-5083)**: `reconcile-in-review-branch-rebind` runs after `reconcile-task-worktree-metadata` and before `reclaim-stale-active-branches`. It restores `task.branch` (and clears `task.worktree` for fresh acquisition) for `in-review` tasks when exactly one case-insensitive `fusion/<id>` candidate branch has unique commits versus the integration base. Ambiguous candidates emit `task:auto-rebind-skipped` (`reason: "ambiguous-candidates"`) and are never auto-resolved. Branch construction across executor/worktree-pool/worktree-acquisition/merger/self-healing canonicalizes to lowercase via `canonicalFusionBranchName`; `fn_task_done` wrong-branch checks now auto-canonicalize case-only mismatches and emit `branch:auto-canonicalize-case`.
 - **In-review is terminal-until-merged under `autoMerge: false` (FN-5147)**: when a project sets `settings.autoMerge: false`, `in-review` is the intended resting state until a human merges the PR. No lifecycle-mutating self-healing sweep (`reclaimSelfOwnedBranchConflicts`, `recoverGhostReviewTasks`, `recoverStaleIncompleteReviewTasks`, `recoverInterruptedMergingTasks`, `recoverStuckMergeDeadlocks`, `recoverMissingWorktreeReviewFailures`, `recoverPartialProgressNoTaskDoneFailures`, `recoverCompletionHandoffLimbo`, `recoverPostDoneNonContinuableWedge`, `recoverMergeableReviewTasks`, `recoverMergedReviewTasks`, `recoverAlreadyMergedReviewTasks`, `recoverOrphanOnlyScopeViolations`, `recoverForeignOnlyContaminatedInReviewTasks`, `recoverReviewTasksWithFailedPreMergeSteps`, `finalizeNoOpReviewTasks`, `surfaceInReviewStalls`, `surfaceInReviewStalled`) may move the task out of `in-review`, mark it `paused`/`failed`, or re-enqueue it for execution. Scoped FN-5819 exception: shared-group members (`branchContext.assignmentMode === "shared"`) are still allowed through the member→`branch_groups.branchName` integration step while `autoMerge` is off; this is a soft pre-integration only and does not permit shared-branch → default-branch promotion. RECONCILE-ONLY sweeps (branch rebind, blocker fan-out, stale-status clears, contamination metadata cleanup, attribution restore, PR refresh, misclassified-failure error clearing) continue to run.
 - **Auto-merge integration-root default (FN-5279)**: direct auto-merge now defaults `mergeIntegrationWorktree` to `reuse-task-worktree`; merger must pass the reuse handoff gates or emit `merge:reuse-handoff-refused` and leave the task in `in-review` without silently falling back to `cwd-integration-branch` (`cwd-main` remains a deprecated alias normalized to that mode).

Subject: [PATCH 07/47] FN-6346: preserve chat steering fields from task detail

Keep task-detail Chat steerable when sparse list rows are hydrated with full task details.

- Merge live agent/session fields from fetched task details when parent task fields are undefined.
- Cover non-CLI engine agents, stale CLI session fallback, and desktop/mobile composer affordances in Chat tests.
- Document that Chat steering supports regular task-worktree engine agents as well as live CLI sessions.

 ### Logs → Agent Log view
 
-The **Chat** tab sits between Definition and Logs and presents a live, chat-styled transcript of task agent output. Consecutive entries are grouped by role and labeled as Planner, Executor, Reviewer, or Merger; legacy log rows without an agent role use the neutral Agent fallback. Consecutive text/message chunks inside a role group render as one continuous markdown bubble, while consecutive tool/tool-result/tool-error rows collapse into one expandable tool-call summary that stays collapsed by default; the summary counts tool invocations, lists deduped tool names with overflow, and shows an error count when failures are present, while the expanded body pairs each call with its result or error. Thinking entries render in a collapsible block that starts expanded. The transcript opens at the latest output whenever the tab loads or becomes active, then follows new live output when you are already near the bottom while preserving your scroll position when you review older messages. For active, assigned, non-paused agent sessions in `in-progress` or `in-review` (reviewing/merging/fixing) tasks, the composer sends guidance to the running agent through the same steering path used by comments; when no active session is available, the composer is disabled with an explanatory hint.

Subject: [PATCH 08/47] FN-6334: rescue db recovery corruption test

Rescues the database recovery corruption test by reducing its fixture size and removing its quarantine.

- Reduce recovery test fixture rows so sqlite3 .recover is not overfed while still corrupting a B-tree page.
- Re-enable packages/core/src/__tests__/db.test.ts in the core Vitest config.
- Remove the db recovery test entry from the quarantine ledger.

FN-6326 cross-check: the test passed twice standalone after FN-6313, and product code in `TaskStore.createTask` suppresses the synchronous hook only while `hasPendingSummarization` is true, then unconditionally refreshes the task and calls `invokeTaskCreatedHook(latestTask)` after `onSummarize` settles across success/null/throw branches. The broad/package load failure was therefore classified as suite-load/harness sensitivity rather than a confirmed product defect; the single flaky `it` was extracted so the rest of `store-create.test.ts` remains covered.",

Subject: [PATCH 09/47] FN-6347: keep chat composer visible on mobile

Keep the task detail chat layout constrained so mobile users can always reach the composer.

- Give the chat tab a fill-height flex layout with transcript-only scrolling.
- Apply chat-specific modal body and section classes alongside the agent log layout.
- Cover mobile chat layout behavior with component tests and document the modal contract.
- Add a patch changeset for the published Fusion package.

 ### Logs → Agent Log view
 
-The **Chat** tab sits between Definition and Logs and presents a live, chat-styled transcript of task agent output. Consecutive entries are grouped by role and labeled as Planner, Executor, Reviewer, or Merger; legacy log rows without an agent role use the neutral Agent fallback. Consecutive text/message chunks inside a role group render as one continuous markdown bubble, while consecutive tool/tool-result/tool-error rows collapse into one expandable tool-call summary that stays collapsed by default; the summary counts tool invocations, lists deduped tool names with overflow, and shows an error count when failures are present, while the expanded body pairs each call with its result or error. Thinking entries render in a collapsible block that starts expanded. The transcript opens at the latest output whenever the tab loads or becomes active, then follows new live output when you are already near the bottom while preserving your scroll position when you review older messages. For active, assigned, non-paused agent sessions in `in-progress` or `in-review` (reviewing/merging/fixing) tasks, the composer sends guidance to the running agent through the same steering path used by comments; this includes regular engine agents working in a task worktree as well as live CLI sessions. When no active session is available, the composer is disabled with an explanatory hint.

Subject: [PATCH 12/47] FN-6341: settle cli-agent re-entry test promise

Stabilize the cli-agent re-entry regression test by awaiting the original run after the replacement session succeeds.

- Keep the first cli-agent run promise instead of dropping it with void.
- Assert the active task session still points at the first PTY before simulating re-entry.
- Kill and await the first session at the end so no hub or store work outlives teardown.

Subject: [PATCH 13/47] FN-6351: add plugin scaffold dev toolchain dependencies

Ensure standalone plugin scaffolds declare the tools required by their generated config and scripts.

- Add @types/node, TypeScript, and Vitest dev dependencies to generated standalone plugin package manifests.
- Cover scaffold dependency ranges, script/tool alignment, scoped plugin names, and tsconfig types in plugin scaffold tests.
- Add a patch changeset documenting the scaffold dependency fix.

Subject: [PATCH 14/47] FN-6350: accept labeled external integration evidence

Relax the spec-review evidence detector so complete labeled Markdown evidence passes validation.

- Scan dedicated External Integration Evidence sections alongside existing prompt sections.
- Recognize labeled repo, docs, release/download, CLI name, and checksum evidence with flexible Markdown formatting.
- Add regression coverage for FN-6349-style evidence blocks and triage reviewer handoff.

Subject: [PATCH 15/47] FN-6277: track and reconcile legacy auto-merge stamps

Track legacy auto-merge stamp provenance and add safe operator cleanup.

- Add autoMergeProvenance storage and migration support so user overrides can be distinguished from legacy review-entry stamps.
- Mark existing ambiguous in-review autoMerge=true tasks as legacy stamps without changing behavior, and expose a dry-run/apply reconciliation API to clear them safely.
- Emit a non-mutating advisory when global auto-merge is disabled while legacy stamped review tasks remain.
- Cover migration, persistence, reconciliation, movement, merge resolution, and advisory behavior with regression tests and docs.

+Add `autoMergeProvenance` so Fusion can distinguish explicit per-task auto-merge overrides from legacy review-entry stamps. Startup now marks ambiguous legacy in-review `autoMerge: true` rows as `legacy-stamp` without changing behavior, and the operator-visible `reconcileLegacyAutoMergeStamps` action (dry-run by default) can clear those legacy stamps so global auto-merge OFF is respected while genuine user overrides are preserved.

 - **Empty-commit refusal + early empty-own-diff finalize (FN-5345/FN-5377)**: Fusion task worktrees install a `prepare-commit-msg` hook that refuses `git commit --allow-empty` and other zero-staged-diff commits, preventing verification-only tasks from manufacturing empty handoff commits that defeat the merger's no-op classifier. The hook allows legitimate empty-tree paths (amend, merge, squash, cherry-pick, revert, rebase). Amend detection tokenizes the parent process command line (`ps -o args=` with `/proc/$PPID/cmdline` fallback for Alpine/busybox) and stops at the first message-supplying flag (`-m`/`-F`/`--message`/`--file`) so a commit message containing the substring `--amend` cannot bypass the guard. In `aiMergeTask`, an early empty-own-diff fast-path runs BEFORE any reuse-handoff acquisition: when integration mode is `reuse-task-worktree`, the branch exists, `git rev-list --count <mergeTarget>..<branch>` is > 0, and `git diff --quiet <mergeBase>..<branch>` exits 0, the task auto-finalizes as no-op with `mergeDetails.noOpMerge: true` and emits `task:auto-recover-finalize-already-on-main` with `reason: "empty-own-diff-early-fast-path"`. The fast-path best-effort removes the stranded worktree (FN-4811 same-task/foreign-owner guard) and deletes the `fusion/<id>` branch so empty-own-diff residuals do not accumulate. This unsticks tasks where a stale empty handoff commit combined with drifted worktree↔branch mapping would otherwise wedge the handoff gate with `registered-branch-mismatch`. The explicit `cwd-integration-branch` mode is unchanged (`cwd-main` remains a deprecated alias normalized to it). `classifyOwnedLandedEvidence` also detects empty-own-diff (aheadCount > 0, zero net diff) and returns `proven-no-op` so downstream self-healing and post-handoff finalize paths benefit too. Additionally, merger's reuse-fallback path now consults `git worktree list --porcelain` before creating a new worktree: extant usable registrations of `fusion/<id>` are reused directly (rather than blindly `git worktree add -f` producing a duplicate registration), and stale registrations are pruned first. The direct-reuse shortcut is guarded by FN-4811 (refuses paths owned by a different task in `activeSessionRegistry`) and FN-4954 (skipped when `recycleWorktrees=true` with a pool attached, so `WorktreePool.acquire` lease bookkeeping stays consistent). Two audit subtypes — `merge:reuse-fallback-pruned-stale-registration` and `merge:reuse-fallback-reused-existing-registration` — replace the prior overloading of `merge:reuse-fallback-new-worktree` for these cases.
 - **Verified no-op/duplicate executor completion (FN-6275)**: explicit `fn_task_done` may complete with zero branch commits only when the summary starts with a recognized sentinel (`PREMISE STALE:`, `NO-OP:`, `NOOP:`, `DUPLICATE: FN-NNNN ...`, or `REDUNDANT:`) or the task already carries a no-commit contract. The sentinel only relaxes the `no_commits` invariant; `wrong_toplevel`, `wrong_branch`, pending-step/review refusals, and scope-leak guards still run. Accepted sentinel completions persist `noCommitsExpected: true`, write task-log audit details with marker kind/reason/raw summary/run/agent IDs, and add a task timeline activity so the no-code terminal path remains explainable. Ordinary zero-commit implementation completions without a leading sentinel are still refused.
 - **In-review branch-binding self-heal (FN-5083)**: `reconcile-in-review-branch-rebind` runs after `reconcile-task-worktree-metadata` and before `reclaim-stale-active-branches`. It restores `task.branch` (and clears `task.worktree` for fresh acquisition) for `in-review` tasks when exactly one case-insensitive `fusion/<id>` candidate branch has unique commits versus the integration base. Ambiguous candidates emit `task:auto-rebind-skipped` (`reason: "ambiguous-candidates"`) and are never auto-resolved. Branch construction across executor/worktree-pool/worktree-acquisition/merger/self-healing canonicalizes to lowercase via `canonicalFusionBranchName`; `fn_task_done` wrong-branch checks now auto-canonicalize case-only mismatches and emit `branch:auto-canonicalize-case`.
-- **In-review is terminal-until-merged under `autoMerge: false` (FN-5147)**: when a project sets `settings.autoMerge: false`, `in-review` is the intended resting state until a human merges the PR. No lifecycle-mutating self-healing sweep (`reclaimSelfOwnedBranchConflicts`, `recoverGhostReviewTasks`, `recoverStaleIncompleteReviewTasks`, `recoverInterruptedMergingTasks`, `recoverStuckMergeDeadlocks`, `recoverMissingWorktreeReviewFailures`, `recoverPartialProgressNoTaskDoneFailures`, `recoverCompletionHandoffLimbo`, `recoverPostDoneNonContinuableWedge`, `recoverMergeableReviewTasks`, `recoverMergedReviewTasks`, `recoverAlreadyMergedReviewTasks`, `recoverOrphanOnlyScopeViolations`, `recoverForeignOnlyContaminatedInReviewTasks`, `recoverReviewTasksWithFailedPreMergeSteps`, `finalizeNoOpReviewTasks`, `surfaceInReviewStalls`, `surfaceInReviewStalled`) may move the task out of `in-review`, mark it `paused`/`failed`, or re-enqueue it for execution. Scoped FN-5819 exception: shared-group members (`branchContext.assignmentMode === "shared"`) are still allowed through the member→`branch_groups.branchName` integration step while `autoMerge` is off; this is a soft pre-integration only and does not permit shared-branch → default-branch promotion. RECONCILE-ONLY sweeps (branch rebind, blocker fan-out, stale-status clears, contamination metadata cleanup, attribution restore, PR refresh, misclassified-failure error clearing) continue to run.

Explicit per-task overrides are distinguished by `task.autoMergeProvenance: "user"`; ambiguous legacy rows stamped `autoMerge: true` by the pre-FN-6245 review-entry path are marked `"legacy-stamp"` once and surfaced in run-audit/logs, but are only cleared by the operator-driven `reconcileLegacyAutoMergeStamps({ apply: true })` action. Scoped FN-5819 exception: shared-group members (`branchContext.assignmentMode === "shared"`) are still allowed through the member→`branch_groups.branchName` integration step while `autoMerge` is off; this is a soft pre-integration only and does not permit shared-branch → default-branch promotion. RECONCILE-ONLY sweeps (branch rebind, blocker fan-out, stale-status clears, contamination metadata cleanup, attribution restore, PR refresh, misclassified-failure error clearing) continue to run.
 - **Auto-merge integration-root default (FN-5279)**: direct auto-merge now defaults `mergeIntegrationWorktree` to `reuse-task-worktree`; merger must pass the reuse handoff gates or emit `merge:reuse-handoff-refused` and leave the task in `in-review` without silently falling back to `cwd-integration-branch` (`cwd-main` remains a deprecated alias normalized to that mode).
 - **Orphaned execution sweep is observation-only (FN-5337)**: `recoverOrphanedExecutions` only annotates stale in-progress candidates with `task:orphan-detected-no-action` and `[orphan-detected] ... no action (operator-decides)` logs. It must never move `in-progress`/`in-review` backward to `todo` or mutate lease/worktree metadata. Proof-based backward recovery remains exclusively in `recoverInProgressLimbo` (FN-5219), `RestartRecoveryCoordinator`, `recoverMissingWorktreeReviewFailures`, and explicit executor/merger failure paths. Reintroducing lifecycle mutation here requires hard git/session proof gating plus CEO+CTO+PM sign-off.
 - **Self-owned reclaim resume-limbo escalation (FN-5704)**: `reclaimSelfOwnedBranchConflicts` tracks `resumeLimboCount`, `resumeLimboTipSha`, and `resumeLimboStepSignature` for in-progress reclaim/unpause loops. If reclaim finds no progress (same tip, same step-status signature, and no active-session signal) for `MAX_NO_PROGRESS_RESUME_ATTEMPTS` consecutive sweeps, self-healing escalates by moving the task to `todo` with `preserveWorktree: true`, `preserveProgress: true`, and `preserveResumeState: true` instead of endlessly re-arming resume. Escalation emits `task:resume-limbo-escalated` run-audit metadata (`frozenTipSha`, `idleMs`, `resumeAttemptCount`, `currentStep`) and resets the limbo counter.

For grouped branch flows, per-task `autoMerge` governs member→group-integration landing while group `autoMerge` governs group→default-branch promotion eligibility. |
 | `mergeRequestContractShadowEnabled` | `boolean` | `false` | Phase-1 FN-5741 write-only shadow flag (project/global setting). When enabled, executor/self-healing/merger persist merge-request records and `completion_handoff_accepted` markers for observation only; legacy mergeQueue + lifecycle remains authoritative. |
 | `mergeStrategy` | `"direct" \| "pull-request"` | `"direct"` | Completion mode (local direct merge vs PR-first). |
 | `directMergeCommitStrategy` | `"auto" \| "always-squash" \| "always-rebase"` | `"always-squash"` | Direct-merge commit routing mode. `always-squash` (default) forces the legacy squash path. `auto` keeps the legacy squash path for branches with zero or one substantive commit, but switches multi-substantive direct merges to a history-preserving rebase-and-merge/cherry-pick path so commit boundaries, subjects, and `Fusion-Task-Id` trailers survive on `main`. `always-rebase` always preserves per-commit history. Only applies when `mergeStrategy="direct"`. |

Subject: [PATCH 16/47] FN-6333: add legacy auto-merge cleanup surfaces
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Expose operator controls for auditing and clearing legacy auto-merge stamps.

- Add CLI dry-run, apply, and JSON modes for legacy auto-merge stamp cleanup.
- Add dashboard maintenance endpoints and a Settings → Merge cleanup panel.
- Document the cleanup workflow and cover CLI, route, and UI behavior with tests.

 - For shared `branch_groups` (tasks with `branchContext.groupId`), PR merge mode opens and tracks one group-level PR from the group integration branch to the project default branch; member tasks share that PR state.
 - In direct/non-PR auto-merge mode, Review renders normalized reviewer-agent feedback (verdict/step/timestamp/detail) with dedicated loading/error/empty states; it does not require users to read raw agent logs.
 
+### Legacy auto-merge stamp cleanup
+
+Settings → Merge includes **Legacy auto-merge stamp cleanup** for operators auditing tasks that inherited historical in-review `autoMerge` stamps. The panel loads a dry-run candidate list, shows task IDs and current columns, and only reveals the destructive **Clear legacy stamps** action when candidates exist. Applying the cleanup requires the browser confirmation prompt, calls the maintenance apply endpoint, and then refreshes the dry-run list so cleared tasks disappear.
+
+Use this panel when upgrading a project with pre-FN-6245/FN-6277 in-review rows before relying on per-task auto-merge overrides. It only targets stamps tagged as legacy provenance; explicit user overrides remain intact.
+
 ### Identifying high-impact blockers
 
 Use blocker fan-out signals on task cards and in the footer status bar to spot blockers with high downstream impact:

Subject: [PATCH 18/47] FN-6355: add deterministic docs index test script

Expose the docs README index suite as a focused CLI test lane and document its deterministic invocation.

- Add a package script for running only the docs README index Vitest file.
- Lock the package-config contract around the new script and dashboard quality runner expectations.
- Clarify the CI shard docs to pass Vitest shard flags without a bare separator.

This keeps coverage reproducible while improving shard balance.
 
 `pnpm test` now uses a changed-only entrypoint (`scripts/test-changed.mjs`) for faster local iteration. It resolves the comparison base from `.changeset/config.json` (`baseBranch`) and runs only affected workspaces from `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (both `packages/*` and `plugins/**`) using safe package-first filtering (`pnpm --filter <pkg> test`). It runs the merge-gate suite first, then the affected set. The full suite runs only on explicit opt-in (`--full` / `pnpm test:full`); shared-infrastructure changes and unresolvable diffs widen the affected set but never escalate to an implicit full-suite run (the old escalation was the local OOM path).

Subject: [PATCH 19/47] FN-6360: clean up leaked test worker temp roots

Ensure test isolation removes stale worker temp roots after interrupted or busy Vitest runs.

- Add bounded retry cleanup for Vitest worker roots during teardown.
- Prune orphaned fusion-test-workers-* directories before changed-test isolation checks.
- Cover worker-root retry and pruning behavior with targeted tests.

Subject: [PATCH 20/47] FN-6354: allow idle task chat messages

Task-detail Chat now accepts guidance even when no steerable session is active and queues it for the next run.

- Keep the task chat composer enabled whenever there is draft text and no send is in flight.
- Replace the blocking no-session hint with active-session versus queued-for-next-session copy.
- Extend TaskChatTab coverage across idle, paused, inactive CLI, and send-in-flight states.
- Quarantine the unrelated flaky dashboard settings route test observed during broad verification.

Subject: [PATCH 21/47] FN-6361: respect paused tasks during triage planning

Keep triage planning from advancing or continuing work after a task is paused.

- Abort active triage sessions and reviewer subagents when task updates mark the task paused.
- Skip approved-spec recovery and final approved-spec transitions while a task remains paused.
- Add regression coverage for paused planning, pause-driven aborts, and published package changeset metadata.

Subject: [PATCH 23/47] FN-6366: fix desktop Vitest constructor mocks

Stabilize the desktop Vitest suite under Vitest 4.1.8 while keeping dashboard builds complete.

- Convert Electron constructor mocks to constructable function implementations for BrowserWindow, Tray, Notification, and LocalRuntimeManager.\n- Assert local runtime initialization uses the mocked home directory in desktop main-process tests.\n- Build dashboard runtime plugin packages before the desktop dashboard build.

Subject: [PATCH 24/47] FN-6367: fix constructible CLI test mocks

Update CLI test mocks so Vitest-spied constructors remain new-able under current mock semantics.

- Add constructible mock wrappers for TaskStore and related CLI test constructor mocks.
- Replace arrow-function constructor mock implementations with function-based implementations.
- Bring task retry fixture data in line with the graph resume retry counter shape.

Subject: [PATCH 25/47] FN-6357: document external integration evidence format

Document the labeled provenance evidence layout expected by spec validation.

- Add an AGENTS.md example for required external integration evidence fields.
- Expand contributing guidance with accepted labels, URL expectations, and checksum rules.
- Add a regression test that keeps the documented example aligned with the evidence gate.

+## Spec authoring: provenance evidence for outside tooling
+
+Any task that wires in an outside command-line program, daemon, separately-fetched program, or package-managed dependency must include provenance evidence in its `PROMPT.md`. The deterministic spec-validation gate (`detectExternalIntegrationEvidenceGaps`) REVISEs specs that mention this kind of outside tooling without enough provenance to audit where it comes from and what command or artifact is expected.
+
+Use a dedicated `## External Integration Evidence` or `## External-Integration Evidence` section when possible. The gate accepts semantically labeled bullets; labels may include or omit a trailing `URL`/`name`, may use `/` or `:` separators (for example `Docs / homepage URL:` or `Docs/homepage:`), and URLs may be bare or backtick-wrapped.
+
+Include all five evidence fields:
+
+1. Canonical upstream repo URL — a GitHub URL with distinct owner/repo; duplicate owner/owner placeholders are rejected.
+2. Docs / homepage URL — a distinct non-GitHub, non-artifact URL.
+3. Release / download URL — a GitHub `…/releases/…` URL, a generic `…download…` URL, an npm `registry.npmjs.org/<pkg>/-/<name>-<ver>.tgz` URL, or any `.tgz`/`.tar.gz` artifact URL.
+4. Binary / CLI name — the command name in backticks, such as `` `wt` ``.
+5. Checksum — a `sha256`/`sha512` digest, a pinned-manifest token, or the literal `upstream-pending-verification` marker. The marker is accepted for the checksum field only; never use it in place of source, docs, or artifact URLs.
+
+Never fabricate source URLs, command names, release locations, or checksums. Cite real provenance, or use `upstream-pending-verification` only for the checksum field while the digest is being pinned.

Subject: [PATCH 26/47] FN-6368: route task chat steering to active sessions

Ensure task chat messages reach the live execution surface instead of waiting for a future session.

- Track seen steering comments for legacy, step-session, and workflow-step execution paths.
- Forward new task chat steering to active step sessions and workflow step sessions, including parallel step handles.
- Remove misleading inactive-session composer copy and cover the steering paths with regression tests.
- Add a patch changeset for the published Fusion package.

Subject: [PATCH 27/47] FN-6371: retry stale test worker pruning

Adds bounded retry handling so stale Fusion test temp roots are reclaimed instead of leaking after transient removal failures.

- Share prefix-scoped pruning between isolated HOME and worker temp roots.
- Retry rm-rf on transient busy/non-empty failures and treat ENOENT as successful cleanup.
- Warn once with bounded child diagnostics after persistent prune failures.
- Cover worker and home pruning retry, failure, and ENOENT behavior in script tests.

Subject: [PATCH 28/47] FN-6358: compact task chat tool-call entries

Tighten the task-detail chat tool-call presentation while documenting the denser layout.

- Reduce spacing and typography weight for collapsed tool-call summaries and expanded entry cards.
- Assert compact tool-call classes in TaskChatTab tests for paired and standalone result entries.
- Update the dashboard guide to describe compact summaries and dense expanded cards.

 ### Logs → Agent Log view
 
-The **Chat** tab sits between Definition and Logs and presents a live, chat-styled transcript of task agent output. Consecutive entries are grouped by role and labeled as Planner, Executor, Reviewer, or Merger; legacy log rows without an agent role use the neutral Agent fallback. Consecutive text/message chunks inside a role group render as one continuous markdown bubble, while consecutive tool/tool-result/tool-error rows collapse into one expandable tool-call summary that stays collapsed by default; the summary counts tool invocations, lists deduped tool names with overflow, and shows an error count when failures are present, while the expanded body pairs each call with its result or error. Thinking entries render in a collapsible block that starts expanded. The transcript opens at the latest output whenever the tab loads or becomes active, then follows new live output when you are already near the bottom while preserving your scroll position when you review older messages. For active, assigned, non-paused agent sessions in `in-progress` or `in-review` (reviewing/merging/fixing) tasks, the composer sends guidance to the running agent through the same steering path used by comments; this includes regular engine agents working in a task worktree as well as live CLI sessions. When no active session is available, the composer is disabled with an explanatory hint. The task-detail Chat tab keeps the composer pinned and visible on mobile and desktop while the transcript scrolls internally.

Subject: [PATCH 29/47] FN-6373: fix script test lane enumeration

Align script-test infrastructure with the current quality-test runner and AGENTS invariants.

- Expand run-quality-tests delegator scripts to concrete package quality lanes for dashboard shard planning.
- Cover grouped delegator expansion and non-delegating fallback behavior in ci-test-shard tests.
- Remove obsolete AGENTS button-freeze anchors from the invariant test.

Subject: [PATCH 30/47] FN-6362: reset mobile keyboard restore metrics

Reset mobile keyboard restore sampling so collapsed viewports clear stale keyboard-open metrics.

- Add a restore-specific sampling path for visibilitychange/pageshow that can reset the viewport baseline and bypass the impossible-sample hold once.
- Preserve the existing in-session impossible-sample guard and tail polling behavior for normal focus/resize updates.
- Cover iOS restore, stale offset drift, genuinely open restored keyboards, and Android-style shrink reset cases.
- Document the mobile keyboard restore stale viewport fix for future UI debugging.

+# Mobile keyboard restore stale viewport reset
+
+## Problem
+
+`useMobileKeyboard` protects normal in-session keyboard handling from impossible iOS samples: when an input is focused, a transient sample that reports a restored full viewport but still carries stale open-keyboard metrics can be held so the dashboard does not flicker. That FN-5155 guard is useful while the page is active, but it also masked a real restore transition.
+
+When the app returned from `hidden`/`pageshow` with the soft keyboard collapsed and the focused input still active, the hook reused the previous open-keyboard metrics. Because focus remained on the input, the impossible-sample hold treated the collapsed restore sample as suspicious and kept `keyboardOpen`, `viewportHeight`, and `offsetTop` stale until another resize or blur arrived.
+
+## Solution
+
+Handle page restore as a distinct sampling path rather than weakening the normal in-session guard.
+
+- On `visibilitychange` back to `visible` and on `pageshow`, take an immediate restore sample.
+- If the restore sample is a collapsed/full-height viewport, reset the baseline viewport height and bypass the impossible-sample hold for that one sample.
+- Keep FN-5155's impossible-sample hold in place for regular resize/focus/tail updates.
+- Continue scheduling delayed tail updates after restore so later iOS viewport corrections still land.
+
+This lets a collapsed restore clear `keyboardOpen`, `viewportHeight`, and `offsetTop` even when `document.activeElement` is still an input, while a genuinely open restored keyboard remains open.
+
+## Regression coverage
+
+Cover restore as a surface invariant, not only the single iOS reproduction:
+
+- `visibilitychange` from hidden to visible with retained focus and a collapsed viewport resets stale open-keyboard metrics.
+- `pageshow` with stale positive `visualViewport.offsetTop` drift clears the keyboard state when the viewport is full height.
+- A genuinely shrunken restored viewport remains keyboard-open.
+- Android-style shrink metrics reset without carrying iOS offset drift.
+- Existing FN-5155 in-session impossible-sample coverage remains green, proving the normal guard was not removed.
+
+The hook-level test seam is preferable here because callers already consume the hook-provided `keyboardOpen` and viewport values; no consumer-specific behavior needed to change.

Subject: [PATCH 31/47] FN-6359: add latest jump control to task chat

Adds an in-transcript control for returning to the newest task chat output after reviewing older messages.

- Track whether the task chat transcript is near the bottom and preserve live-follow behavior.
- Render an accessible sticky Latest button when populated transcripts are scrolled up, including mobile styling.
- Cover empty/loading, desktop, mobile, and click-to-jump behavior in TaskChatTab tests.
- Document the Latest jump affordance in the dashboard guide.

 ### Logs → Agent Log view
 
-The **Chat** tab sits between Definition and Logs and presents a live, chat-styled transcript of task agent output. Consecutive entries are grouped by role and labeled as Planner, Executor, Reviewer, or Merger; legacy log rows without an agent role use the neutral Agent fallback. Consecutive text/message chunks inside a role group render as one continuous markdown bubble, while consecutive tool/tool-result/tool-error rows collapse into one expandable, compact tool-call summary that stays collapsed by default; the summary counts tool invocations, lists deduped tool names with overflow, and shows an error count when failures are present, while the expanded body pairs each call with its result or error in dense entry cards. Thinking entries render in a collapsible block that starts expanded. The transcript opens at the latest output whenever the tab loads or becomes active, then follows new live output when you are already near the bottom while preserving your scroll position when you review older messages. For active, assigned, non-paused agent sessions in `in-progress` or `in-review` (reviewing/merging/fixing) tasks, the composer sends guidance to the running agent through the same steering path used by comments; this includes regular engine agents working in a task worktree as well as live CLI sessions. When no active session is available, the composer is disabled with an explanatory hint. The task-detail Chat tab keeps the composer pinned and visible on mobile and desktop while the transcript scrolls internally.

Subject: [PATCH 32/47] FN-6364: reset iOS mobile viewport on restore

Recover stale iOS document scroll after returning to the Fusion dashboard.

- Add an iOS-only restore hook that clears orphaned body offsets and scrolls the document back to the origin when unlocked.
- Wire the restore reset from the dashboard app shell for mobile layouts.
- Cover visible/page-show restores, platform no-ops, active-lock guards, and orphaned style cleanup.
- Document the mobile restore drift solution for future regressions.

+# Mobile iOS restore document scroll drift
+
+## Problem
+
+On iOS Safari/PWA, switching away from Fusion and returning can leave the layout viewport visually misaligned with the dashboard. The document may retain `window.scrollY > 0`, or a stale inline body offset from an earlier lock, even though Fusion's base shell uses `body { overflow: hidden }` and the resting document scroll position should be `(0, 0)`.
+
+The visible symptom is the board/header appearing shifted upward with an empty gap at the bottom after foregrounding the app, including cases where no input is currently focused.
+
+## Solution
+
+Keep keyboard metrics recovery and document-scroll recovery as separate concerns:
+
+- FN-6362 resets `useMobileKeyboard` metrics on `visibilitychange`/`pageshow` so `--vv-offset-top` consumers stop seeing a stale keyboard-open state.
+- FN-6364 adds `useMobileViewportRestoreReset` in `useMobileScrollLock.ts` and wires it once from `App.tsx` for mobile layouts.
+
+The restore hook only runs on iOS mobile devices. On `document.visibilitychange` it acts only when `document.visibilityState === "visible"`, and on `window.pageshow` it handles normal and bfcache restores. If no fullscreen scroll lock or keyboard viewport lock is active, it clears orphaned body fixed-position offset styles and calls `window.scrollTo(0, 0)` when stale document scroll is present.
+
+Do not run this reset on Android or desktop, and do not run it while `useMobileScrollLock` or `useMobileKeyboardViewportLock` is active; live locks own their own restore path.
+
+## Regression coverage
+
+Cover the invariant at the `useMobileScrollLock` hook seam:
+
+- iOS mobile + `visibilitychange` to visible + `scrollY > 0` calls `scrollTo(0, 0)`.
+- iOS mobile + `pageshow` with `persisted: false` calls `scrollTo(0, 0)`.
+- Android and desktop restore events are no-ops.
+- `visibilitychange` to hidden is a no-op.
+- Active fullscreen scroll locks and keyboard viewport locks prevent the restore hook from fighting the live lock.
+- `scrollY === 0` is idempotent.
+- Orphaned body `position: fixed` / `top` offset is cleared only when no lock is active.

Subject: [PATCH 33/47] FN-6374: fix workflow board tablet fill height

Keep workflow-mode board columns stretched through the tablet viewport.

- Preserve a definite height chain from the workflow board wrapper to the column rows.
- Ensure workflow columns stretch and keep internal overflow ownership at tablet widths.
- Extend board layout tests to cover workflow-mode empty and populated tablet states.
- Document the footer-safe workflow fill-height invariant.

 **Bottom spacing:** `--mobile-nav-height` (44px) + `env(safe-area-inset-bottom, 0px)` + `--standalone-bottom-gap` (0/8px PWA). All bottom-positioned mobile elements compose those. When the soft keyboard opens, the mobile nav bar stays pinned to page bottom cross-platform; the executor footer keyboard-collapse pin is iOS-only. On Android (`interactive-widget=resizes-content`), the footer keeps its stacked position above the nav bar to avoid overlap after keyboard dismiss.
 
-**Footer-safe fill layouts:** View wrappers that reserve footer/mobile-nav space (for example `.project-content`) should be flex containers with `min-height: 0` / `min-width: 0`, and child surfaces like `.board` should use `flex: 1 1 auto` plus the same min-size guards. This keeps the board/columns stretched between the header and fixed bottom bars across desktop, tablet, and mobile while allowing internal scroll regions to own overflow.

 **Touch targets:** Standing button-freeze directive supersedes per-button touch-target guidance. For non-button elements, primary controls (nav bar, FAB, tab action rows, modal CTAs, list-row tap targets, form controls) must be ≥36px on mobile. Secondary controls inside a card/list-row where the row itself is the tap target stay compact (24–28px or small chips).

Subject: [PATCH 34/47] FN-6376: preserve user-paused tasks during recovery

Ensure automated resume and recovery paths leave user-paused tasks paused.

- Skip user-paused tasks when cascading agent resume and approval-decision unpauses.
- Preserve userPaused during stuck-task recovery and log skipped recoveries for user-paused tasks.
- Add regression coverage across engine heartbeat, self-healing, and dashboard route surfaces.
- Document the invariant and add a patch changeset.

 ### Task pause ownership
 - Only explicit user actions pause ordinary tasks: the dashboard/CLI task pause controls and manual `in-progress → todo` moves. System safety pauses remain reserved for explicit approval waits and bounded guardrails such as token-budget, worktrunk-failure, and dispatch-oscillation protection.
 - Agent pause/sleep and heartbeat recovery never pause assigned tasks. Assigned tasks stay in their current column and retain their existing `paused`/`pausedByAgentId` state so the scheduler can re-dispatch unpaused work and user-paused work remains intentionally parked.
+- Only explicit user unpause actions may clear `task.userPaused`; engine self-healing, heartbeat/agent resume cascades, and approval resume paths must leave user-paused tasks parked.
 
 ### User cancel via move-to-todo
 - `TaskStore.moveTask()` accepts `moveSource: "user" | "engine"` (default `"engine"`) and emits `task:moved` with `source` so listeners can distinguish manual moves from engine rebounds.

Subject: [PATCH 35/47] FN-6369: make task chat send control icon-only

Refine the task-detail chat composer so the send action stays narrow and inline with the input.

- Replace the composer placeholder with the steering-focused copy.
- Convert the send button to an accessible icon-only control with loading state labels.
- Keep the send control inline at mobile breakpoints and cover the behavior in tests and docs.

 ### Logs → Agent Log view
 
-The **Chat** tab sits between Definition and Logs and presents a live, chat-styled transcript of task agent output. Consecutive entries are grouped by role and labeled as Planner, Executor, Reviewer, or Merger; legacy log rows without an agent role use the neutral Agent fallback. Consecutive text/message chunks inside a role group render as one continuous markdown bubble, while consecutive tool/tool-result/tool-error rows collapse into one expandable, compact tool-call summary that stays collapsed by default; the summary counts tool invocations, lists deduped tool names with overflow, and shows an error count when failures are present, while the expanded body pairs each call with its result or error in dense entry cards. Thinking entries render in a collapsible block that starts expanded. The transcript opens at the latest output whenever the tab loads or becomes active, then follows new live output when you are already near the bottom while preserving your scroll position when you review older messages. When you scroll away from the bottom of a populated transcript, a sticky **Latest** button appears inside the transcript so you can jump back to the newest message and resume live follow. For active, assigned, non-paused agent sessions in `in-progress` or `in-review` (reviewing/merging/fixing) tasks, the composer sends guidance to the running agent through the same steering path used by comments; this includes regular engine agents working in a task worktree as well as live CLI sessions. When no active session is available, the composer is disabled with an explanatory hint. The task-detail Chat tab keeps the composer pinned and visible on mobile and desktop while the transcript scrolls internally.

Subject: [PATCH 38/47] FN-6380: widen Activity Log tablet layout

Widen the Activity Log modal at tablet widths so header controls stay reachable.

- Add component-scoped tablet CSS that widens only the Activity Log modal.
- Allow the Activity Log header and action controls to wrap while keeping close pinned right.
- Cover the tablet-only layout contract with a CSS regression test.

Subject: [PATCH 39/47] FN-6383: add branch canonicalization unit coverage

Expand executor tests around canonical Fusion branch naming behavior.

- Cover standard, lowercase, and case-only variant task IDs.
- Document current prefix behavior for branch-name inputs and malformed edge cases.
- Pin lowercase-only behavior without trimming or slugifying task ID text.

Subject: [PATCH 40/47] FN-6370: add expandable task chat modal

Add a full-modal expansion affordance for task-detail chat conversations.

- Add an expand/collapse toolbar button to the task chat tab with accessible labels and icon states.
- Let the task detail modal switch into a chat-expanded layout and reset that state when leaving chat or entering edit mode.
- Cover the chat toggle and layout behavior with dashboard component tests and document the control.

 - Editable tasks with descriptions show **Summarize as title** beside the read-mode title; it asks AI to generate a concise title from the description and saves it without opening the edit form.
+- The **Chat** tab includes an expand/collapse control that lets the transcript and composer fill the task-detail modal, then restores the normal header, tabs, and action footer when collapsed.
 - The priority chip in task metadata is an inline picker: you can change priority directly without entering full edit mode.
 - Execution mode has a read-mode inline lightning-bolt toggle for Fast mode on/off without opening the full edit form.
 - These two metadata controls share matched sizing/alignment in read mode (including mobile wrapping) so they behave like a single polished control group.

Subject: [PATCH 41/47] FN-6365: prevent mobile document horizontal panning

Contain the mobile dashboard document viewport while preserving intended inner horizontal scrollers.

- Lock mobile html/body/#root and fullscreen overlay chrome to the viewport inline axis.
- Default mobile touch handling to vertical-only panning and opt board/code/table scrollers back into horizontal gestures.
- Add CSS fixture regression coverage plus a solution note for mobile horizontal pan containment.

+# Mobile document horizontal pan containment
+
+## Problem
+
+The mobile dashboard can enter a broken off-axis state where the whole page chrome shifts left and exposes an empty dark strip on the right. The screenshot for FN-6365 showed the header, board, and footer all shifted together, which means the document/visual viewport was panned horizontally — not just the intended `.board` column strip.
+
+## Root cause
+
+The mobile global CSS locked `overflow: hidden` on `html`, `body`, and `#root`, but every element was also assigned `touch-action: pan-x pan-y`. That allowed horizontal gestures that began on root chrome, fixed bars, modal chrome, or other non-board surfaces to be interpreted as page-level horizontal panning. The board was the intended horizontal scroller, but the document root did not explicitly enforce vertical-only touch handling, `overflow-x: hidden`, and `overscroll-behavior-x: none` as separate invariants.
+
+Fullscreen mobile overlays were also only constrained by `width/max-width: 100%`; adding logical inline-size constraints keeps modal/overlay chrome from widening the document when the layout viewport and visual viewport diverge.
+
+## Fix
+
+In the mobile `@media (max-width: 768px)` global block:
+
+- Lock `html`, `body`, and `#root` to the viewport inline axis with `width/max-width: 100%`, `overflow-x: hidden`, and `overscroll-behavior-x: none`.
+- Make document-root/default touch handling vertical-only with `touch-action: pan-y`.
+- Opt the known legitimate horizontal scrollers back into `touch-action: pan-x pan-y`: `.board`, `pre`, `code`, `.code-block`, and `table`.
+- Keep `.board` horizontally scrollable with `overflow-x: auto`, `-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch`, and `scroll-snap-type: x proximity`.
+- Constrain mobile fullscreen overlay/modal chrome with `inline-size: 100%`, `max-inline-size: 100%`, and `min-width: 0` where appropriate.
+
+## Regression coverage
+
+`packages/dashboard/app/__tests__/mobile-horizontal-pan-containment.test.ts` asserts the containment contract directly from CSS fixtures:
+
+- Mobile root has `overflow-x: hidden`, `overscroll-behavior-x: none`, and `touch-action: pan-y`.
+- The mobile `.board` still has `overflow-x: auto` and `scroll-snap-type: x proximity`.
+- Code/table opt-in horizontal scrollers keep `touch-action: pan-x pan-y`.
+- Fullscreen overlay/modal chrome is constrained to the viewport inline size.
+- The tablet `.board` overflow rule remains unchanged.
+
+## Pitfall
+
+Do not fix this class by blanket-clipping all descendants or removing `.board` horizontal scrolling. The board, code blocks, and tables are valid inner horizontal scrollers; the invariant is that the document/visual viewport itself must stay at horizontal offset zero.

Subject: [PATCH 42/47] FN-6372: start refinements from done task chat

Done-task chat messages now create refinement tasks while preserving steering behavior elsewhere.

- Route completed-task Chat composer submissions through refineTask and show the created task ID.
- Keep non-done task sends on the existing steering-comment path with queued/live session copy.
- Cover refinement success, failure rollback, send lifecycle, and routing surfaces in TaskChatTab tests.
- Document the completed-task refinement behavior in the dashboard guide.

 ### Logs → Agent Log view
 
-The **Chat** tab sits between Definition and Logs and presents a live, chat-styled transcript of task agent output. Consecutive entries are grouped by role and labeled as Planner, Executor, Reviewer, or Merger; legacy log rows without an agent role use the neutral Agent fallback. Consecutive text/message chunks inside a role group render as one continuous markdown bubble, while consecutive tool/tool-result/tool-error rows collapse into one expandable, compact tool-call summary that stays collapsed by default; the summary counts tool invocations, lists deduped tool names with overflow, and shows an error count when failures are present, while the expanded body pairs each call with its result or error in dense entry cards. Thinking entries render in a collapsible block that starts expanded. The transcript opens at the latest output whenever the tab loads or becomes active, then follows new live output when you are already near the bottom while preserving your scroll position when you review older messages. When you scroll away from the bottom of a populated transcript, a sticky **Latest** button appears inside the transcript so you can jump back to the newest message and resume live follow. For active, assigned, non-paused agent sessions in `in-progress` or `in-review` (reviewing/merging/fixing) tasks, the composer sends guidance to the running agent through the same steering path used by comments; this includes regular engine agents working in a task worktree as well as live CLI sessions. When no active session is available, the composer is disabled with an explanatory hint. The task-detail Chat tab keeps the composer pinned and visible on mobile and desktop while the transcript scrolls internally; its textarea placeholder reads “Steer the currently executing agent” and the send affordance is an inline, icon-only button to the right of the input at every breakpoint.

For non-`done` tasks, the composer sends guidance through the same steering path used by comments, including active assigned `in-progress`/`in-review` sessions and messages queued when no session is currently live. On a `done` task, sending a Chat message starts a refinement task using the typed text as feedback and shows a success toast with the new task ID; the current task detail modal remains on the completed task. The task-detail Chat tab keeps the composer pinned and visible on mobile and desktop while the transcript scrolls internally; its textarea placeholder reads “Steer the currently executing agent” for steering mode and switches to refinement copy for completed tasks, with the same inline, icon-only send affordance to the right of the input at every breakpoint.
 
 The **Logs** tab includes an **Agent Log** subview designed for debugging long-running and tool-heavy sessions:

Subject: [PATCH 43/47] FN-6382: unquarantine stabilized flaky tests

Restore quarantined tests by fixing their flaky harness seams instead of extending the deletion ratchet.

- Mark active Vitest worker roots and skip live worker roots during prune cleanup.
- Make bubblewrap backend coverage deterministic with an injectable runner and restore it to the engine gate.
- Remove rescued core and bubblewrap tests from the quarantine ledger and Vitest excludes.

Subject: [PATCH 44/47] FN-6377: make tablet modals touch-resizable

Enable shared resize handles for modals on tablet and desktop while keeping mobile sheets full-screen.

- Add a pointer-driven resize grip to useModalResizePersist with debounced persistence and mobile cleanup.
- Widen the task-detail modal tablet default to 96vw / 1024px.
- Cover resize behavior and tablet width expectations with dashboard tests.
- Document the shared modal resize pattern and add the published package changeset.

 Reuse existing primitives from `styles.css`:
 - **Buttons**: `.btn`, `.btn-primary`, `.btn-danger`, `.btn-warning`, `.btn-sm`, `.btn-icon`, `.btn-icon--active`, `.btn-badge`. All inherit `:focus-visible` via `--focus-ring-strong` and `:active` via `transform: scale(0.97)`.
-- **Modals**: `.modal-overlay[.open]`, `.modal`, `.modal-lg`, `.modal-header`, `.modal-close`, `.modal-actions`, `.modal-actions-left/right`. Overlay pads top with `--overlay-padding-top`. Overlay dialogs should render through `createPortal(..., document.body)` so `position: fixed` overlays escape transformed, contained, or fixed ancestors.
+- **Modals**: `.modal-overlay[.open]`, `.modal`, `.modal-lg`, `.modal-header`, `.modal-close`, `.modal-actions`, `.modal-actions-left/right`. Overlay pads top with `--overlay-padding-top`. Overlay dialogs should render through `createPortal(..., document.body)` so `position: fixed` overlays escape transformed, contained, or fixed ancestors. Resizable modals using `useModalResizePersist(...)` get a shared bottom-right touch/mouse resize grip on tablet and desktop; mobile sheets stay full-screen and grip-free.
 - **Forms**: `.form-group`, `.input`, `.select`, `.checkbox-label`, `.form-error`. Inputs in `.form-group` get focus styles automatically.
 - **Cards**: `.card`, `.card-header`, `.card-id`, `.card-title`, `.card-meta`, `.card-status-badge--{triage,todo,in-progress,in-review,done,archived}`.
 - **Utility**: `.touch-target` (44px min), `.visually-hidden`.

Subject: [PATCH 45/47] FN-6378: contain mobile board overscroll

Contain horizontal overscroll on mobile kanban board scrollers so iOS edge drags do not rubber-band columns off screen.

- Add horizontal overscroll containment to board, workflow column, and lane column scrollers while preserving proximity snap scrolling.
- Add CSS fixture regression coverage for mobile/base board and lane overscroll containment.
- Document the iOS horizontal overscroll containment root cause and fix.

+
+# Mobile board iOS horizontal overscroll containment
+
+## Problem
+
+The mobile kanban board intentionally scrolls horizontally between columns using `overflow-x: auto`, `-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch`, and `scroll-snap-type: x proximity`. On iOS Safari/PWA, that same momentum scroller can rubber-band past its first or last column if the scroller does not contain horizontal overscroll. The visible result is that the columns slide away from the viewport edge, exposing empty space and sometimes chaining the drag to the document.
+
+## Root cause
+
+The board had page-level mobile overscroll protection on `html, body`, but the board itself is the horizontal scroll container. The base `.board` and the mobile `@media (max-width: 768px) .board` rules declared the intended scroll and snap properties without `overscroll-behavior-x`, so iOS edge overscroll was not contained at the board boundary. Workflow and multi-lane board variants in `Lane.css` had the same independent horizontal scrollers.
+
+## Solution
+
+Add axis-specific containment to each horizontal board strip:
+
+```css
+.board,
+.board.board-workflow-columns,
+.lane-columns {
+  overflow-x: auto;
+  overscroll-behavior-x: contain;
+  scroll-snap-type: x proximity;
+}
+```
+
+Keep `contain` rather than `none`: the board can retain its native inner scroll feel while edge overscroll stops at the board/lane container instead of chaining outward. Do not replace this with `overflow: hidden`/`clip`, and do not switch snap back to `x mandatory`; both would regress intentional mobile column navigation.
+
+## Regression coverage
+
+Use a CSS-fixture test that loads the combined dashboard CSS and asserts:
+
+- the mobile `.board` rule still has `overflow-x: auto` and `scroll-snap-type: x proximity`;
+- the mobile `.board` rule declares `overscroll-behavior-x: contain`;
+- the base `.board`, `.board.board-workflow-columns`, and `.lane-columns` horizontal scrollers also declare containment;
+- no checked board path uses `scroll-snap-type: x mandatory`.
+
+For FN-6378 this lives in `packages/dashboard/app/__tests__/board-mobile-overscroll-containment.test.ts`.

Subject: [PATCH 46/47] FN-6381: expose simple workflow editor controls at
 every width

Styles the simple workflow editor so its mobile-style controls are available and documented across desktop and narrow layouts.

- Move simple editor tab, add, action, and touch-target styling out of the mobile-only media query.
- Cover desktop simple editor affordances for custom and built-in workflows with regression tests.
- Document desktop simple editor tabs and the surfaced workflow action buttons.

 - The Settings panel is value-first for built-in workflows and groups workflow settings by Models, Review & Approval, Step Execution, and Advanced. Known workflow model values use the same model dropdown picker as **Settings → Project Models** so provider/model pairs are saved together; custom or non-model string values can still use typed inputs. Definitions remain available for custom workflow schema authoring.
 - The main Settings modal also exposes the default workflow's Plan/Triage, Executor, and Reviewer model lanes from **Project Models**; the modal's primary **Save** action writes those dropdown values as workflow setting values for the active default workflow.

+- On desktop, the editor uses a multi-panel canvas layout for editing the graph and adjacent workflow metadata. The **Show simple editor** toggle switches that same workflow into the graph-outline editor with dedicated **Graph**, **Add**, **Settings**, **Fields**, **Columns**, and **Actions** tabs.
 - On viewports `<=768px`, the editor switches to a full-screen mobile sheet. Global workflow entry points open to the workflow list with no workflow preselected and prompt users to select a workflow to edit; the board workflow toolbar edit button opens directly to the selected workflow editor when that selected workflow is available.

-Resolve the standard triage planning prompt from the selected workflow IR planning node instead of the removed engine-side `TRIAGE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` duplicate. The built-in `default-triage` prompt is now the canonical policy source for `builtin:coding`; where the old copies disagreed, the surviving canonical subtask-split threshold is `MORE THAN 7 implementation steps` (with the matching `MORE THAN 3 different packages/modules` guidance). Fast-mode triage continues to use `FAST_TRIAGE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` unchanged.

-Add workflow-native typed settings for triage/spec policy thresholds and routing defaults. The built-in defaults preserve current behavior: size bands remain S <2h, M 2-4h, L 4-8h; subtask signals use the canonical planning-prompt values of step threshold 7 and packages/modules threshold 3; file-scope/remediation thresholds remain 20 and 30.

-These triage policy settings are new workflow settings, not moved project settings, so they are excluded from the U4 `MOVED_SETTINGS_KEYS` tombstone while still resolving through workflow effective settings.

-Resolve the built-in reviewer base prompt from the workflow IR `review` node instead of an engine-local `REVIEWER_SYSTEM_PROMPT` duplicate.

-Fast-mode triage is now expressed as workflow-declared policy: the lean prompt lives in the built-in `default-triage-fast` agent prompt and `planning-fast` seam, while `leanPlanning` and `autoApproveSpec` are workflow-native settings for prompt selection and spec-review auto-approval.

-Standalone plugin scaffolds now declare the dev toolchain they generate scripts and config for: `@types/node`, `vitest`, and `typescript`.

The embedded local runtime now roots its data at the user's home directory (`~/.fusion`) instead of `process.cwd()`, which was `/` or the read-only AppImage mount point and caused database creation to fail with EACCES/EROFS.

-Fix custom provider message sends failing with a `ByteString` error (`character ... value 8226`). The settings UI displays the saved API key masked with `•` characters; saving the provider without retyping the key persisted that mask as the real credential, which then broke HTTP header encoding. Masked values echoed back on update are now treated as "unchanged" and the stored key is preserved; masked values on create/probe are rejected.
-
-The edit form no longer seeds the API key field with the masked value at all — it starts blank (with a "Leave blank to keep current key" hint) so the mask can never be echoed back to save or "Detect Models". Existing keys are preserved when the field is left empty.

-Fix the mobile chat keyboard collapsing on iOS Safari. Several ancestor/scroll mutations were blurring the focused composer textarea:
-
-1. `.chat-thread--keyboard-active` declared `transform: translateY(...)` + `will-change: transform` in CSS, keeping a non-`none` transform on `.chat-thread` (an ancestor of the composer) for the whole keyboard-active window. The drift compensation is now applied imperatively in JS only when iOS actually shifts the visual viewport (`offsetTop > 0`), so the ancestor stays `transform: none` on focus.
-
-2. The mobile keyboard scroll-lock pinned `body { position: fixed }` a beat after the composer was focused — the textbook iOS keyboard-dismiss trigger. App-level and ChatView keyboard pins now use a new `useMobileKeyboardViewportLock` that locks `overflow: hidden` + `scrollTo(0, 0)` WITHOUT changing `position` (the same approach the Quick Chat panel uses), so iOS keeps the input focused. Modals are unchanged and keep the `position: fixed` lock.
-
-3. The direct-chat composer's `handleInputFocus` ran `window.scrollTo(0, 0)` on every focus to undo iOS layout drift. That scroll fires while iOS is still raising the keyboard, which aborts the raise — the keyboard opened then immediately dismissed on re-focus (first tap fine, every tap after a dismiss broken). The drift reset now happens on **blur** instead — when the keyboard is already closing, so there is nothing to dismiss — immediately plus a short follow-up that is cancelled on the next focus, so a fast re-tap can't scroll mid-raise. Each focus therefore starts at `scrollY 0` and the keyboard lock's `scrollTo(0, 0)` is a harmless no-op.
-
-4. The mobile bottom nav stayed on screen while the keyboard was up: `.mobile-nav-bar--keyboard-open` only pinned it to `bottom: 0` and relied on the keyboard to cover it, but on iOS the layout viewport doesn't shrink, so the bar overlapped the composer. It now slides fully off-screen (`translateY(100%)` + `pointer-events: none`) while typing. Safe for the keyboard because the nav is a sibling of the input, not an ancestor.

-Fix the Quick Chat FAB not opening on iOS Safari. The drag hook calls `setPointerCapture()` in `pointerdown`, which makes WebKit swallow the synthetic `click`, so the FAB never toggled on iPhone. The open/close toggle now fires from the drag hook's `pointerup` (a real user gesture, so the stealth-input focus still raises the keyboard), with the trailing synthetic click de-duped so mouse and test click paths are unaffected.

-Fix the Quick Chat send button going dead after switching chats on mobile. The send and stop buttons run their action on `pointerdown`/`touchstart` (iOS needs that) and set a shared `handledMobileActionRef` latch so the trailing synthetic `onClick` doesn't double-fire — but the latch was only ever cleared inside `onClick`. On iOS, `preventDefault()` in `touchstart` routinely suppresses that click, leaving the latch stuck `true`, so the next real click (e.g. after opening a different chat) was swallowed and the button appeared unresponsive. The latch is now self-clearing: it auto-resets on a short timer after each gesture and is consumed-and-cancelled when a click does fire, so it can never persist across taps. Because the ref is shared by both buttons, this also stops a stuck stop-button latch from killing the next send tap.

-Fix task creation failing with "node 'merge-gate' branches into 2 edges — graphs with branches require the workflow interpreter (deferred)". The built-in coding workflow now models the merge lifecycle as a branching region of merge/retry/branch-group primitives (FN-6035), but the linear workflow compiler still tried to lower those nodes and rejected their fan-out. The compiler now treats the merge-region primitive kinds (merge-gate, merge-attempt, manual-merge-hold, retry-backoff, recovery-router, branch-group-member-integration, branch-group-promotion) as an engine-owned terminal boundary — exempt from the single-edge linearity rule and never lowered to a step — so linear-prefix workflows compile to their pre-merge step list again.

+
+### @fusion/engine
+
+#### Patch Changes
+
+- 630b2a8: Allow narrowly scoped plan-only operational tasks to complete without source commits when their prompt or metadata explicitly declares no-source/no-code intent and their recorded evidence satisfies the task. The commit guard still rejects missing commits for normal implementation tasks and still enforces worktree and branch invariants before applying the no-commit exemption.

+  - @fusion/pi-claude-cli@0.42.0
+
+### @fusion/plugin-sdk
+
+#### Patch Changes
+
+- @fusion/core@0.42.0
+
+### @runfusion/fusion
+
+#### Minor Changes
+
+- e22afec: Add workflow-native typed settings for triage/spec policy thresholds and routing defaults. The built-in defaults preserve current behavior: size bands remain S <2h, M 2-4h, L 4-8h; subtask signals use the canonical planning-prompt values of step threshold 7 and packages/modules threshold 3; file-scope/remediation thresholds remain 20 and 30.
+
+  These triage policy settings are new workflow settings, not moved project settings, so they are excluded from the U4 `MOVED_SETTINGS_KEYS` tombstone while still resolving through workflow effective settings.
+
+- 039d3ce: Fast-mode triage is now expressed as workflow-declared policy: the lean prompt lives in the built-in `default-triage-fast` agent prompt and `planning-fast` seam, while `leanPlanning` and `autoApproveSpec` are workflow-native settings for prompt selection and spec-review auto-approval.
+
+  The internal `FAST_TRIAGE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` engine constant was removed. Existing `executionMode: "fast"` tasks remain byte-equivalent through a single legacy execution-mode-to-resolved-policy bridge.
+
+- 167f9b0: Allow engineer-role agents to opt into no-task backlog auto-claim for implementation tasks while preserving executor-only default pickup behavior.
+- 1c4ec5f: Add dashboard controls for the engineer backlog auto-claim opt-in at project scope and per-agent heartbeat settings.
+- eb607c6: Make dashboard modals touch-resizable on tablet and widen the task-detail modal default tablet width.
+- f7f2cae: Move Frontend UX criteria injection from AI self-instructions into deterministic engine-applied workflow policy, preserving the byte-equivalent checklist and idempotent insertion behavior.
+- 4e6df03: Add a verified no-op/duplicate task completion path so executors can close already-satisfied tasks without fabricating commits by using an audited `fn_task_done` sentinel summary.
+- 7ffea9f: Expose Google Generative AI as a selectable custom-provider API type in the dashboard settings UI and documentation.
+- 508551c: Allow tasks to be archived from any live board column and restored to their pre-archive column.
+- bd87ce7: Add workflow-declared optional steps and expose Browser Verification as the built-in coding workflow's opt-in optional step for task creation and editing.
+- 72661fa: Title summarization now accepts descriptions of any length by truncating the model input to a bounded prompt instead of rejecting descriptions over 2000 characters.
+- 07d5262: Sync workflow setting values across nodes in settings push, pull, receive, and status flows.
+
+#### Patch Changes
+
+- 8eb99ed: Quick Entry no longer auto-focuses when the board or dashboard becomes visible.
+- 36f5ecd: Skip custom workflow pre-merge prompt, script, and gate nodes when a task runs in fast execution mode.
+- 1a716f2: Resolve the standard triage planning prompt from the selected workflow IR planning node instead of the removed engine-side `TRIAGE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` duplicate. The built-in `default-triage` prompt is now the canonical policy source for `builtin:coding`; where the old copies disagreed, the surviving canonical subtask-split threshold is `MORE THAN 7 implementation steps` (with the matching `MORE THAN 3 different packages/modules` guidance). Fast-mode triage continues to use `FAST_TRIAGE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` unchanged.
+- fb2c6e5: Resolve the built-in reviewer base prompt from the workflow IR `review` node instead of an engine-local `REVIEWER_SYSTEM_PROMPT` duplicate. The canonical reviewer policy now lives in the `default-reviewer` agent prompt / built-in workflow seam, with reconciled superset content that preserves the FN-5928/FN-6229 surface-enumeration and symptom-verification gates, undersplit-task guidance, test-quality rules, worktree-boundary review, and the embedded port-4040 safety rule.
+- c0ff360: Fix mobile dashboard blanking after toggling the in-review auto-merge switch by keeping the board visible when real browsers horizontally pan the document to the offscreen column control.
+- 12621aa: Record explicit `builtin:coding` project-default workflow selections even when the compiled built-in has zero materialized steps, while preserving interpreter-deferred `builtin:stepwise-coding` fallback behavior.
+- 30e747b: Standalone plugin scaffolds now declare the dev toolchain they generate scripts and config for: `@types/node`, `vitest`, and `typescript`. This lets projects created with `fn plugin new` install, build, test, and load through `fn plugin dev . --once` via the documented external-author path without relying on transitive or hoisted dependencies.
+
+  Manual spot-check for release validation:
+
+  ```sh
+  npx @runfusion/fusion@latest plugin new proof-point-plugin
+  cd proof-point-plugin
+  pnpm install
+  pnpm build
+  pnpm test
+  fn plugin dev . --once
+  ```
+
+- 8c16395: Stop self-healing from removing worktrees that are still in use. The idle-worktree and cap-enforcement sweeps now skip any worktree bound to a live executor/merger/step/workflow session, so a checkout is no longer reaped while its task transiently sits in `done` or loses its worktree linkage mid-run.
+- d5b45c8: Fix "Couldn't start local Fusion" on the Linux AppImage (and any packaged build launched from a desktop launcher). The embedded local runtime now roots its data at the user's home directory (`~/.fusion`) instead of `process.cwd()`, which was `/` or the read-only AppImage mount point and caused database creation to fail with EACCES/EROFS. Set `FUSION_HOME` to override the location.
+- f0d2415: Fix custom provider message sends failing with a `ByteString` error (`character ... value 8226`). The settings UI displays the saved API key masked with `•` characters; saving the provider without retyping the key persisted that mask as the real credential, which then broke HTTP header encoding. Masked values echoed back on update are now treated as "unchanged" and the stored key is preserved; masked values on create/probe are rejected.
+
+  The edit form no longer seeds the API key field with the masked value at all — it starts blank (with a "Leave blank to keep current key" hint) so the mask can never be echoed back to save or "Detect Models". Existing keys are preserved when the field is left empty.
+
+- a83c2d8: Fix custom provider models not appearing in model dropdowns. The `/models` endpoint filtered results to providers configured in Fusion's auth stores, which excluded custom providers (stored in global settings). Their registry keys are now added to the allowlist so their models surface in pickers.
+- cbc3157: Fix the mobile chat keyboard collapsing on iOS Safari. Several ancestor/scroll mutations were blurring the focused composer textarea:
+
+  1. `.chat-thread--keyboard-active` declared `transform: translateY(...)` + `will-change: transform` in CSS, keeping a non-`none` transform on `.chat-thread` (an ancestor of the composer) for the whole keyboard-active window. The drift compensation is now applied imperatively in JS only when iOS actually shifts the visual viewport (`offsetTop > 0`), so the ancestor stays `transform: none` on focus.
+
+  2. The mobile keyboard scroll-lock pinned `body { position: fixed }` a beat after the composer was focused — the textbook iOS keyboard-dismiss trigger. App-level and ChatView keyboard pins now use a new `useMobileKeyboardViewportLock` that locks `overflow: hidden` + `scrollTo(0, 0)` WITHOUT changing `position` (the same approach the Quick Chat panel uses), so iOS keeps the input focused. Modals are unchanged and keep the `position: fixed` lock.
+
+  3. The direct-chat composer's `handleInputFocus` ran `window.scrollTo(0, 0)` on every focus to undo iOS layout drift. That scroll fires while iOS is still raising the keyboard, which aborts the raise — the keyboard opened then immediately dismissed on re-focus (first tap fine, every tap after a dismiss broken). The drift reset now happens on **blur** instead — when the keyboard is already closing, so there is nothing to dismiss — immediately plus a short follow-up that is cancelled on the next focus, so a fast re-tap can't scroll mid-raise. Each focus therefore starts at `scrollY 0` and the keyboard lock's `scrollTo(0, 0)` is a harmless no-op.
+
+  4. The mobile bottom nav stayed on screen while the keyboard was up: `.mobile-nav-bar--keyboard-open` only pinned it to `bottom: 0` and relied on the keyboard to cover it, but on iOS the layout viewport doesn't shrink, so the bar overlapped the composer. It now slides fully off-screen (`translateY(100%)` + `pointer-events: none`) while typing. Safe for the keyboard because the nav is a sibling of the input, not an ancestor.
+
+- cbc3157: Fix the Quick Chat FAB not opening on iOS Safari. The drag hook calls `setPointerCapture()` in `pointerdown`, which makes WebKit swallow the synthetic `click`, so the FAB never toggled on iPhone. The open/close toggle now fires from the drag hook's `pointerup` (a real user gesture, so the stealth-input focus still raises the keyboard), with the trailing synthetic click de-duped so mouse and test click paths are unaffected.
+- e5036b1: Fix the Quick Chat send button going dead after switching chats on mobile. The send and stop buttons run their action on `pointerdown`/`touchstart` (iOS needs that) and set a shared `handledMobileActionRef` latch so the trailing synthetic `onClick` doesn't double-fire — but the latch was only ever cleared inside `onClick`. On iOS, `preventDefault()` in `touchstart` routinely suppresses that click, leaving the latch stuck `true`, so the next real click (e.g. after opening a different chat) was swallowed and the button appeared unresponsive. The latch is now self-clearing: it auto-resets on a short timer after each gesture and is consumed-and-cancelled when a click does fire, so it can never persist across taps. Because the ref is shared by both buttons, this also stops a stuck stop-button latch from killing the next send tap.
+- 535c40d: Fix task creation failing with "node 'merge-gate' branches into 2 edges — graphs with branches require the workflow interpreter (deferred)". The built-in coding workflow now models the merge lifecycle as a branching region of merge/retry/branch-group primitives (FN-6035), but the linear workflow compiler still tried to lower those nodes and rejected their fan-out. The compiler now treats the merge-region primitive kinds (merge-gate, merge-attempt, manual-merge-hold, retry-backoff, recovery-router, branch-group-member-integration, branch-group-promotion) as an engine-owned terminal boundary — exempt from the single-edge linearity rule and never lowered to a step — so linear-prefix workflows compile to their pre-merge step list again.
+- e35f3dd: Classify harmless temporary merge worktree cleanup failures after `git worktree prune`/porcelain inspection while keeping still-registered worktree leaks visible in merger diagnostics.
+- 3a729f5: Allow narrowly-scoped Review Level 1 coordination tasks with board-only file scope and explicit no-source intent to complete without commits while preserving the missing-commit guard for implementation tasks.
+- c285f3f: Fix pi 0.79 extension discovery compatibility and retry stale title-summarizer model ids with automatic model resolution.
+- 9a78814: Stop review entry from freezing the global auto-merge setting onto tasks. Tasks without an explicit per-task auto-merge override now continue to follow the live global setting, so toggling global auto-merge off stops newly-entered non-override in-review tasks from being auto-merge processed.
+- 2085610: Move AI-merge clean-room worktrees into a repo-local cleanup-exempt root, guard cleanup sweeps by active merge ownership, and classify missing clean-room worktree failures as transient so merges can retry cleanly.
+- d23c5d9: Fix task detail Pull Request and Review surfaces so they use the live project auto-merge setting instead of a stale modal-open snapshot. Create PR / manual merge affordances now appear immediately when auto-merge is toggled off, and the automatic auto-merge hint returns when it is toggled back on.
+- 4fc00b6: Self-heal compound-engineering answer submission for restarted awaiting-input sessions by rehydrating the interactive session before sending the answer.
+- 65251d2: Pausing or sleeping an agent no longer pauses its assigned tasks. Assigned tasks now keep their existing pause state so only explicit user actions pause ordinary task work.
+- bffae81: Add `autoMergeProvenance` so Fusion can distinguish explicit per-task auto-merge overrides from legacy review-entry stamps. Startup now marks ambiguous legacy in-review `autoMerge: true` rows as `legacy-stamp` without changing behavior, and the operator-visible `reconcileLegacyAutoMergeStamps` action (dry-run by default) can clear those legacy stamps so global auto-merge OFF is respected while genuine user overrides are preserved.
+- 0897b2a: Add a bounded persisted auto-retry for transient workflow-graph resume failures after engine restart or unpause, while preserving terminal failures for genuine graph errors.
+- ec4b247: Re-fire durable-agent assignment wakes that were skipped because the agent was mid-heartbeat, so newly assigned tasks are worked when the active run completes instead of waiting for the next timer tick.
+- 751d942: Fix workflow graph execution for the built-in coding workflow's merge-policy primitive region by collapsing any merge-region entry back to the legacy `merge` seam until the workflow interpreter owns merge policy execution.
+- 93237c3: Fix mobile chat composer first taps so iOS and Android preserve native keyboard focus across direct chat, room chat, and Quick Chat.
+- 480e55f: Fix non-English Active Agents next-heartbeat translations so localized strings interpolate the provided elapsed heartbeat value instead of showing a raw placeholder.
+- 0a135c9: Fix the task details Chat tab so it opens and reactivates at the latest agent output while preserving scroll-away behavior for live updates.
+- 66591ec: Add dashboard and CLI operator surfaces to inspect and apply legacy auto-merge stamp cleanup.
+- a9b1139: Self-healing now automatically re-dispatches an assigned in-progress task when its durable agent loses both the heartbeat run and active execution session, preventing the task from stranding until the next engine restart.
+- f2054d0: Reliably settle the task detail Chat transcript to the latest output on load and tab reactivation, including after collapsible thinking/tool groups reflow.
+- 34ada00: Show user-sent task-detail Chat steering messages as You bubbles and keep them visible after steering requests persist.
+- 35554e6: Keep the task-detail Chat composer pinned and visible while the transcript scrolls internally on mobile and desktop.
+- e0ec3d1: Steering messages sent from task chat now reach active step-session and workflow runs, including parallel step sessions, and the misleading inactive-session "next session" composer copy was removed.
+- f68775a: Ensure only explicit user actions unpause user-paused tasks. Engine self-healing, agent resume cascades, dashboard agent-state resume fallback, heartbeat recovery, and approval-decision resume no longer clear `userPaused` or auto-unpause tasks the user paused.
+- 4ea9d66: Fix automatic agent runs to resolve executor, planning, heartbeat, merger, and validator models from fresh task/settings configuration before falling back to durable agent runtime defaults.
+- 44b756d: Fix built-in branching workflow selection so interpreter-deferred coding workflows can be selected or used as project defaults without throwing during legacy step materialization.
+- e6eef1a: Handle insight extraction agent responses deterministically by accepting prompt return text, falling back to session state, and surfacing a 503 error when no assistant text is produced.
+- e305b1a: Respect per-task pause state during triage planning so paused tasks do not auto-advance after specification approval.
+- 40cb0d3: Keep the dashboard usage dialog near the top of the viewport across desktop popover, modal, and mobile presentations.
+- f16b038: Add workflow work-item storage primitives for workflow-owned merge migration.

+- 039d3ce: Fast-mode triage is now expressed as workflow-declared policy: the lean prompt lives in the built-in `default-triage-fast` agent prompt and `planning-fast` seam, while `leanPlanning` and `autoApproveSpec` are workflow-native settings for prompt selection and spec-review auto-approval.
+
+  The internal `FAST_TRIAGE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` engine constant was removed. Existing `executionMode: "fast"` tasks remain byte-equivalent through a single legacy execution-mode-to-resolved-policy bridge.
+
+- 167f9b0: Allow engineer-role agents to opt into no-task backlog auto-claim for implementation tasks while preserving executor-only default pickup behavior.
+- 1c4ec5f: Add dashboard controls for the engineer backlog auto-claim opt-in at project scope and per-agent heartbeat settings.
+- eb607c6: Make dashboard modals touch-resizable on tablet and widen the task-detail modal default tablet width.
+- f7f2cae: Move Frontend UX criteria injection from AI self-instructions into deterministic engine-applied workflow policy, preserving the byte-equivalent checklist and idempotent insertion behavior.
+- 4e6df03: Add a verified no-op/duplicate task completion path so executors can close already-satisfied tasks without fabricating commits by using an audited `fn_task_done` sentinel summary.
+- 7ffea9f: Expose Google Generative AI as a selectable custom-provider API type in the dashboard settings UI and documentation.
+- 508551c: Allow tasks to be archived from any live board column and restored to their pre-archive column.
+- bd87ce7: Add workflow-declared optional steps and expose Browser Verification as the built-in coding workflow's opt-in optional step for task creation and editing.
+- 72661fa: Title summarization now accepts descriptions of any length by truncating the model input to a bounded prompt instead of rejecting descriptions over 2000 characters.
+- 07d5262: Sync workflow setting values across nodes in settings push, pull, receive, and status flows.
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 8eb99ed: Quick Entry no longer auto-focuses when the board or dashboard becomes visible.
+- 36f5ecd: Skip custom workflow pre-merge prompt, script, and gate nodes when a task runs in fast execution mode.
+- 1a716f2: Resolve the standard triage planning prompt from the selected workflow IR planning node instead of the removed engine-side `TRIAGE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` duplicate. The built-in `default-triage` prompt is now the canonical policy source for `builtin:coding`; where the old copies disagreed, the surviving canonical subtask-split threshold is `MORE THAN 7 implementation steps` (with the matching `MORE THAN 3 different packages/modules` guidance). Fast-mode triage continues to use `FAST_TRIAGE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` unchanged.
+- fb2c6e5: Resolve the built-in reviewer base prompt from the workflow IR `review` node instead of an engine-local `REVIEWER_SYSTEM_PROMPT` duplicate. The canonical reviewer policy now lives in the `default-reviewer` agent prompt / built-in workflow seam, with reconciled superset content that preserves the FN-5928/FN-6229 surface-enumeration and symptom-verification gates, undersplit-task guidance, test-quality rules, worktree-boundary review, and the embedded port-4040 safety rule.
+- c0ff360: Fix mobile dashboard blanking after toggling the in-review auto-merge switch by keeping the board visible when real browsers horizontally pan the document to the offscreen column control.
+- 12621aa: Record explicit `builtin:coding` project-default workflow selections even when the compiled built-in has zero materialized steps, while preserving interpreter-deferred `builtin:stepwise-coding` fallback behavior.
+- 30e747b: Standalone plugin scaffolds now declare the dev toolchain they generate scripts and config for: `@types/node`, `vitest`, and `typescript`. This lets projects created with `fn plugin new` install, build, test, and load through `fn plugin dev . --once` via the documented external-author path without relying on transitive or hoisted dependencies.
+
+  Manual spot-check for release validation:
+
+  ```sh
+  npx @runfusion/fusion@latest plugin new proof-point-plugin
+  cd proof-point-plugin
+  pnpm install
+  pnpm build
+  pnpm test
+  fn plugin dev . --once
+  ```
+
+- 8c16395: Stop self-healing from removing worktrees that are still in use. The idle-worktree and cap-enforcement sweeps now skip any worktree bound to a live executor/merger/step/workflow session, so a checkout is no longer reaped while its task transiently sits in `done` or loses its worktree linkage mid-run.
+- d5b45c8: Fix "Couldn't start local Fusion" on the Linux AppImage (and any packaged build launched from a desktop launcher). The embedded local runtime now roots its data at the user's home directory (`~/.fusion`) instead of `process.cwd()`, which was `/` or the read-only AppImage mount point and caused database creation to fail with EACCES/EROFS. Set `FUSION_HOME` to override the location.
+- f0d2415: Fix custom provider message sends failing with a `ByteString` error (`character ... value 8226`). The settings UI displays the saved API key masked with `•` characters; saving the provider without retyping the key persisted that mask as the real credential, which then broke HTTP header encoding. Masked values echoed back on update are now treated as "unchanged" and the stored key is preserved; masked values on create/probe are rejected.
+
+  The edit form no longer seeds the API key field with the masked value at all — it starts blank (with a "Leave blank to keep current key" hint) so the mask can never be echoed back to save or "Detect Models". Existing keys are preserved when the field is left empty.
+
+- a83c2d8: Fix custom provider models not appearing in model dropdowns. The `/models` endpoint filtered results to providers configured in Fusion's auth stores, which excluded custom providers (stored in global settings). Their registry keys are now added to the allowlist so their models surface in pickers.
+- cbc3157: Fix the mobile chat keyboard collapsing on iOS Safari. Several ancestor/scroll mutations were blurring the focused composer textarea:
+
+  1. `.chat-thread--keyboard-active` declared `transform: translateY(...)` + `will-change: transform` in CSS, keeping a non-`none` transform on `.chat-thread` (an ancestor of the composer) for the whole keyboard-active window. The drift compensation is now applied imperatively in JS only when iOS actually shifts the visual viewport (`offsetTop > 0`), so the ancestor stays `transform: none` on focus.
+
+  2. The mobile keyboard scroll-lock pinned `body { position: fixed }` a beat after the composer was focused — the textbook iOS keyboard-dismiss trigger. App-level and ChatView keyboard pins now use a new `useMobileKeyboardViewportLock` that locks `overflow: hidden` + `scrollTo(0, 0)` WITHOUT changing `position` (the same approach the Quick Chat panel uses), so iOS keeps the input focused. Modals are unchanged and keep the `position: fixed` lock.
+
+  3. The direct-chat composer's `handleInputFocus` ran `window.scrollTo(0, 0)` on every focus to undo iOS layout drift. That scroll fires while iOS is still raising the keyboard, which aborts the raise — the keyboard opened then immediately dismissed on re-focus (first tap fine, every tap after a dismiss broken). The drift reset now happens on **blur** instead — when the keyboard is already closing, so there is nothing to dismiss — immediately plus a short follow-up that is cancelled on the next focus, so a fast re-tap can't scroll mid-raise. Each focus therefore starts at `scrollY 0` and the keyboard lock's `scrollTo(0, 0)` is a harmless no-op.
+
+  4. The mobile bottom nav stayed on screen while the keyboard was up: `.mobile-nav-bar--keyboard-open` only pinned it to `bottom: 0` and relied on the keyboard to cover it, but on iOS the layout viewport doesn't shrink, so the bar overlapped the composer. It now slides fully off-screen (`translateY(100%)` + `pointer-events: none`) while typing. Safe for the keyboard because the nav is a sibling of the input, not an ancestor.
+
+- cbc3157: Fix the Quick Chat FAB not opening on iOS Safari. The drag hook calls `setPointerCapture()` in `pointerdown`, which makes WebKit swallow the synthetic `click`, so the FAB never toggled on iPhone. The open/close toggle now fires from the drag hook's `pointerup` (a real user gesture, so the stealth-input focus still raises the keyboard), with the trailing synthetic click de-duped so mouse and test click paths are unaffected.
+- e5036b1: Fix the Quick Chat send button going dead after switching chats on mobile. The send and stop buttons run their action on `pointerdown`/`touchstart` (iOS needs that) and set a shared `handledMobileActionRef` latch so the trailing synthetic `onClick` doesn't double-fire — but the latch was only ever cleared inside `onClick`. On iOS, `preventDefault()` in `touchstart` routinely suppresses that click, leaving the latch stuck `true`, so the next real click (e.g. after opening a different chat) was swallowed and the button appeared unresponsive. The latch is now self-clearing: it auto-resets on a short timer after each gesture and is consumed-and-cancelled when a click does fire, so it can never persist across taps. Because the ref is shared by both buttons, this also stops a stuck stop-button latch from killing the next send tap.
+- 535c40d: Fix task creation failing with "node 'merge-gate' branches into 2 edges — graphs with branches require the workflow interpreter (deferred)". The built-in coding workflow now models the merge lifecycle as a branching region of merge/retry/branch-group primitives (FN-6035), but the linear workflow compiler still tried to lower those nodes and rejected their fan-out. The compiler now treats the merge-region primitive kinds (merge-gate, merge-attempt, manual-merge-hold, retry-backoff, recovery-router, branch-group-member-integration, branch-group-promotion) as an engine-owned terminal boundary — exempt from the single-edge linearity rule and never lowered to a step — so linear-prefix workflows compile to their pre-merge step list again.
+- e35f3dd: Classify harmless temporary merge worktree cleanup failures after `git worktree prune`/porcelain inspection while keeping still-registered worktree leaks visible in merger diagnostics.
+- 3a729f5: Allow narrowly-scoped Review Level 1 coordination tasks with board-only file scope and explicit no-source intent to complete without commits while preserving the missing-commit guard for implementation tasks.
+- c285f3f: Fix pi 0.79 extension discovery compatibility and retry stale title-summarizer model ids with automatic model resolution.
+- 9a78814: Stop review entry from freezing the global auto-merge setting onto tasks. Tasks without an explicit per-task auto-merge override now continue to follow the live global setting, so toggling global auto-merge off stops newly-entered non-override in-review tasks from being auto-merge processed.
+- 2085610: Move AI-merge clean-room worktrees into a repo-local cleanup-exempt root, guard cleanup sweeps by active merge ownership, and classify missing clean-room worktree failures as transient so merges can retry cleanly.
+- d23c5d9: Fix task detail Pull Request and Review surfaces so they use the live project auto-merge setting instead of a stale modal-open snapshot. Create PR / manual merge affordances now appear immediately when auto-merge is toggled off, and the automatic auto-merge hint returns when it is toggled back on.
+- 4fc00b6: Self-heal compound-engineering answer submission for restarted awaiting-input sessions by rehydrating the interactive session before sending the answer.
+- 65251d2: Pausing or sleeping an agent no longer pauses its assigned tasks. Assigned tasks now keep their existing pause state so only explicit user actions pause ordinary task work.
+- bffae81: Add `autoMergeProvenance` so Fusion can distinguish explicit per-task auto-merge overrides from legacy review-entry stamps. Startup now marks ambiguous legacy in-review `autoMerge: true` rows as `legacy-stamp` without changing behavior, and the operator-visible `reconcileLegacyAutoMergeStamps` action (dry-run by default) can clear those legacy stamps so global auto-merge OFF is respected while genuine user overrides are preserved.
+- 0897b2a: Add a bounded persisted auto-retry for transient workflow-graph resume failures after engine restart or unpause, while preserving terminal failures for genuine graph errors.
+- ec4b247: Re-fire durable-agent assignment wakes that were skipped because the agent was mid-heartbeat, so newly assigned tasks are worked when the active run completes instead of waiting for the next timer tick.
+- 751d942: Fix workflow graph execution for the built-in coding workflow's merge-policy primitive region by collapsing any merge-region entry back to the legacy `merge` seam until the workflow interpreter owns merge policy execution.
+- 93237c3: Fix mobile chat composer first taps so iOS and Android preserve native keyboard focus across direct chat, room chat, and Quick Chat.
+- 480e55f: Fix non-English Active Agents next-heartbeat translations so localized strings interpolate the provided elapsed heartbeat value instead of showing a raw placeholder.
+- 0a135c9: Fix the task details Chat tab so it opens and reactivates at the latest agent output while preserving scroll-away behavior for live updates.
+- 66591ec: Add dashboard and CLI operator surfaces to inspect and apply legacy auto-merge stamp cleanup.
+- a9b1139: Self-healing now automatically re-dispatches an assigned in-progress task when its durable agent loses both the heartbeat run and active execution session, preventing the task from stranding until the next engine restart.
+- f2054d0: Reliably settle the task detail Chat transcript to the latest output on load and tab reactivation, including after collapsible thinking/tool groups reflow.
+- 34ada00: Show user-sent task-detail Chat steering messages as You bubbles and keep them visible after steering requests persist.
+- 35554e6: Keep the task-detail Chat composer pinned and visible while the transcript scrolls internally on mobile and desktop.
+- e0ec3d1: Steering messages sent from task chat now reach active step-session and workflow runs, including parallel step sessions, and the misleading inactive-session "next session" composer copy was removed.
+- f68775a: Ensure only explicit user actions unpause user-paused tasks. Engine self-healing, agent resume cascades, dashboard agent-state resume fallback, heartbeat recovery, and approval-decision resume no longer clear `userPaused` or auto-unpause tasks the user paused.
+- 4ea9d66: Fix automatic agent runs to resolve executor, planning, heartbeat, merger, and validator models from fresh task/settings configuration before falling back to durable agent runtime defaults.
+- 44b756d: Fix built-in branching workflow selection so interpreter-deferred coding workflows can be selected or used as project defaults without throwing during legacy step materialization.
+- e6eef1a: Handle insight extraction agent responses deterministically by accepting prompt return text, falling back to session state, and surfacing a 503 error when no assistant text is produced.
+- e305b1a: Respect per-task pause state during triage planning so paused tasks do not auto-advance after specification approval.
+- 40cb0d3: Keep the dashboard usage dialog near the top of the viewport across desktop popover, modal, and mobile presentations.
+- f16b038: Add workflow work-item storage primitives for workflow-owned merge migration.
