Problem

Mobile chat steering could lose slim-wire events under backpressure, show stale full tool results after retries, and leave iOS queued-steer and attachment state inconsistent. The transcript scroll/composer changes also needed parity across the mobile chat surface.

Cause

Delivery bookkeeping advanced before transport success; cache and view state used logical IDs without retry generations; timeout and command-lifecycle restore paths did not preserve identity across navigation; the old SwiftUI scroll machinery lacked a stable follow latch.

Change and boundary

Preserve and requeue slim events, superseded progress, and tool-result fetch state; reconcile Claude command lifecycle and queued-steer state; persist attachment identities and retain active host uploads across navigation/capacity pressure; use the UIKit transcript/follow-latch and composer-fold behavior; remove mobile-only transcript drill-in. Shared/full-wire peers and Windows packaging remain unchanged.

Verification

Rebased onto main (real conflicts in RemoteModels.swift, WorkErrorAndMessageHelpers.swift, WorkModels.swift, WorkTranscriptParser.swift — resolved by keeping both sides: main's stopSource/stopReason plus this branch's slim-wire and command_lifecycle fields), then seven review rounds (Devin: 9 findings, CodeRabbit: 11; all fixed except the one tracked below).

  • Desktop typecheck: pass. ADE CLI typecheck: pass.
  • apps/ade-cli syncHostService.test.ts: 201/201.
  • Desktop focused: chatMobileSlim.test.ts 27/27, chatTranscriptEntries.test.ts 21/21, chatToolResultLookup.test.ts 12/12.
  • iOS xcodebuild test -scheme ADE (ADETests, iPhone 17 Pro sim, -parallel-testing-enabled NO): 2,030 tests, 0 failures; the last two rounds re-ran the directly affected classes over a full scheme build — WorkComposerDraftAttachmentTests + WorkComposerFoldStateTests (45 tests), then WorkChatToolResultCacheTests + WorkComposerDraftAttachmentTests (30 tests), 0 failures.
  • iOS ADEUITests/WorkComposerFoldUITests: 1/1 pass.
  • node scripts/validate-docs.mjs: 267 files pass.
  • Scroll bench case f (reader scrolled up while streaming — the "reader must not move" case): 0 pt unexplained viewport movement. Case e (streaming while glued to the tail): the tail stayed pinned on every sample (fromBottom=0); the analyzer attributes one 70 pt move of an off-screen row to a batch of appends outside its 350 ms write-attribution window. Card cells now genuinely reconfigure when their content changes — the point of the row-revision fix — so case e does more measured work than it did before.
  • Windows parity: the changed TypeScript is platform-neutral (no path, shell, or native-module surface); Windows packaging build skipped per owner instruction.

Known, tracked separately

  • Queued steer rows can still duplicate across chat_history page boundaries (chatTranscriptEntries.ts folds graduated steers per batch). Pre-existing — both rows were emitted before this PR — and the fix is cross-request pager state.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes sync chat delivery semantics, handoff cursors, and a new authenticated fetch path, but all slim behavior is capability-gated so non-mobile clients keep the existing wire.

Overview
Introduces mobileChatSlimV1, a capability-gated mobile chat wire that shrinks live traffic without changing desktop/TUI payloads. Peers that announce it get tighter tool_result previews (~2 KB) with resultTruncatedForMobile, plus a new chat_tool_result request/response to load the stored full result from the transcript (scoped like chat_history, with sequence/timestamp/source-offset identity for retries and deep rows).

Live and snapshot delivery on the slim path folds subagent_progress to the latest per agent (snapshot) and coalesces updates (~1 s per agent), drops positional subagent.progress mirrors, and routes compaction through compactChatEventEnvelopeForMobileSync. The sync host adds per-peer coalescers, flush-on-handoff so pending progress is not lost when the exported cursor advances, and delivery bookkeeping that survives backpressure (failed sends stay retryable on resume). chat_history can return envelopeStartOffsets to support precise tool-result fetches.

Separately, transcript entry folding skips duplicate queued steered user messages when an inline twin exists in the same batch (fixes double text in CLI/iOS). iOS wiring in this PR adds tool-result fetch/cache UI, queued-steer detail, UIKit transcript scrolling/follow-latch, composer fold behavior, and matching tests/UI test targets.

Problem: a message sent during an active Claude turn looked right for ~10s
on the phone, then moved into the queued-steer strip and vanished from the
thread.

Cause: the host writes a steered message twice — `deliveryState: "queued"`
when staged and non-queued when the provider consumes it — and both rows
reached the phone. iOS's idle rebuild filters the live event stream with
`workChatEventIncludedInIdleCanonicalEventTranscript`, which keeps queued
user rows and drops every other user row, so the stale queued row outlived
the row that graduated it; `shouldSkipBackfillPlainUserMessage` then
suppressed the canonical fallback bubble on the strength of that same stale
row, and `pruneResolvedQueuedSteerEnvelopes` ran too late to help.

Change and boundary: `workChatIdleCanonicalEventTranscript` prunes resolved
queued steers before the idle filter runs, in both refresh paths of
WorkSessionDestinationView, and `preferredWorkTranscript` prunes the merged
live transcript before the fallback backfill. Host side,
`transcriptEntriesFromEnvelopes` skips a queued `user_message` when a
non-queued row with the same steerId exists in the batch, so
`chat.getTranscript` and `ade chat read` stop returning the text twice. A
still-pending queued steer has no graduating row and is untouched by either
prune; the desktop renderer already never drew queued rows in-thread.

Verification: npm --prefix apps/desktop run typecheck (clean); npx vitest run
chatTranscriptEntries.test.ts chatTranscriptHistoryPager.test.ts
sessionNaming.test.ts (64 passed); agentChatService.test.ts (1150 passed).

Problem: the queued-steer strip is one truncated line and four unlabelled
glyphs, so a staged message cannot be read in full and its options cannot be
identified before tapping one.

Change and boundary: the row's summary is now a 44pt tap target — the icon
buttons keep their own — presenting `WorkQueuedSteerDetailSheet`. The sheet
shows the whole message selectable, its attachments, when it was staged, and
what happens next, then lists Send now, Interrupt & send / Interrupt &
continue (label from `capability.interruptContinues`), Edit and Cancel as
full-width rows with a one-line description each. Options the provider does
not support are disabled with the reason instead of hidden. The capability
comes from `workChatActiveSendCapability`, the same per-provider table the
composer's send-mode picker reads, and every action calls the closure the
inline buttons already use. The strip's disposition now reads "sends at next
step" on a provider that takes a message mid-turn.

Verification: swiftc -parse clean on the touched files. iOS tests and build
not run: only 23 GB free on / (policy floor is 30 GB).

`-adePreviewScreen queued-steer` opens `WorkQueuedSteerDetailSheet` over a
plain backdrop with a staged Claude message, two attachments and the large
detent pinned, so one `simctl io screenshot` shows the whole message and all
four delivery options with no brain, no pairing and no network.

Verification: xcodebuild build clean; the named queued-steer tests plus
WorkSessionCanonicalStateTests re-run green (96 tests, 0 failures) on
iPhone 17 Pro / iOS 26.

Problem: a phone downloads the same chat wire as desktop. On a real
16.1 MB / 21,665-event thread, 35% of the bytes are subagent progress —
sent twice, because a dot-family mirror is committed next to every
underscore event — and 23% are tool results the phone shows at most one
screen of.

Change and boundary: adds `mobileChatSlimV1`. For peers that announce it
the host drops the mirrored `subagent.progress` twin, folds subagent
progress to the latest per agent in the chat_subscribe snapshot,
coalesces it to at most one send per second per agent live, and caps
tool results at ~2 KB with a new `chat_tool_result` request that returns
the stored result on demand. Nothing is changed about what is persisted,
what agents do, or what desktop, hosted web, the TUI or the CLI receive.

Verification: npm --prefix apps/desktop run typecheck, npm --prefix
apps/ade-cli run typecheck, 22 new chatMobileSlim tests, 8 new
chatToolResultLookup tests, 2 new syncHostService tests, and the
existing chatReplayFold (31) / chatEventCompaction (18) / chat event
replay buffer (13) blocks green.

…its draft

The upload that starts when an attachment is staged ran through
workChatSaveInputAttachments, which asks WorkComposerAttachmentUploads to
resolve that same attachment — so the upload task awaited its own completion.
For images (the only kind routed that way) it never finished, the send that
awaited it never returned, and the message sat at "Sending" forever with the
draft already cleared.

The tracker's upload now calls the raw host stager, waiting for a staged upload
is bounded by the chat-send budget and reports whether it gave up, and a send
owns its stored draft — text and attachments — until the host confirms it, so
leaving a chat mid-send restores the whole message. A failed send shows one
retry row above the field.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Problem: the phone downloaded the same chat wire as desktop, and tapping an
in-thread subagent replaced the thread the user was reading with a read-only
copy of that agent's work, kept alive by a 1.5-second transcript poll.

Change and boundary: iOS announces `mobileChatSlimV1`, so the host folds
subagent progress per agent, drops the `subagent.progress` mirror, and sends
tool results as a ~2 KB head slice. A truncated Result block now says how much
more there is, fetches it through `chat_tool_result` on tap with a spinner, and
caches it per item in SyncService so re-expanding it (or opening it from the
turn-activity sheet) is free. Tapping an in-thread subagent expands its card
and nothing else; `chat.getSubagentTranscript` and its poll are gone from the
phone. Separate subagent chats and child lanes are untouched — they are full
chats and open as they always have. Tool call + result already merged into one
card and clustered into one group per turn (`collapseConsecutiveWorkToolEntries`,
`workTurnToolActivityIndex`), so no row change was needed.

Verification: xcodebuild build (iPhone 17e simulator, own derived data) BUILD
SUCCEEDED; 14 focused ADETests timeline/subagent/tool-card tests passed, 0
failures.

… chat

Problem: "mobile chats snap around and jump" had no recording and no
measurement, so every candidate cause was a guess.

Change and boundary: adds a DEBUG-only fixture screen
(`-adePreviewScreen chat-scroll`) that renders the real
`WorkChatSessionView` over a transcript JSONL file, with an optional
`--stream` mode that appends the newest N events on a timer to imitate a
live turn; a `WorkChatScrollTrace` logger (subsystem
`com.ade.ios.scrollbench`) that records every programmatic scroll write,
every suppressed write, every scroll frame, every content-size change and
every follow-latch transition, all with `#if DEBUG` bodies; and an
`ADEUITests` target whose only job is to drive the eight recorded cases
with real touches (idb's HID path needs a SimulatorKit the installed
Xcode does not ship). No product behavior changes: the trace calls are
no-ops in release and nothing in the scroll machinery was altered.

Verification: built for the simulator and ran all eight cases
(`xcodebuild build-for-testing` + `test-without-building`, iPhone 17 Pro,
iOS 26); harness commands are documented at the top of
WorkChatScrollBench.swift.

Problem: removing the in-thread subagent drill-in left `subagentView` with no
setter, so every `viewingSubagent` branch in the session destination — a second
transcript, a parent-transcript save/restore pair, a locked composer, zeroed
render signatures, a back button, a selected-row highlight — was unreachable
code that still had to be read and maintained.

Change and boundary: deletes that state and collapses each branch to the main
chat path. `WorkChatSessionView` keeps its `viewingSubagent` parameter and is
passed `false`; separate subagent chats and child lanes are untouched.
`handleChatInfoPresentationChange` is extracted because the destination's
modifier chain is long enough that an inline closure there pushes the type
checker past its budget.

Verification: xcodebuild build BUILD SUCCEEDED; 15 focused ADETests
timeline/subagent/tool-card tests, 0 failures.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The collapse control had its own row above the prompt field, and folding a
long draft stepped down instead of animating: the fold changed the field's
line clamp, which re-measured the UITextView on a background hop that landed
outside the animation.

The row is gone. A downward swipe anywhere on the composer card folds the
field to one line and lowers the keyboard on one spring; an upward swipe, a
tap into the field, or a tap on the compact tray brings both back. The swipe
rides alongside the field's own recognizers, so text selection and the tray's
horizontal scroll still work, and only a mostly-vertical drag past 40pt is
claimed. The folded card clips the same measured field instead of re-laying
it out, and no fold path scrolls the transcript.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A scrollable UITextView never lets a foreign recognizer run alongside its
own pan, so the card's swipe was unreachable once a draft grew past the
field — the keyboard came down with the finger and the card stayed tall.

The field's own pan recognizer is observed rather than competed with: a
downward swipe that starts at the top of the draft asks the composer to fold,
and one that starts mid-draft still scrolls the draft. The UI test drives the
real fixture and pins the rule the fold exists for — the thread does not move.

…raft

Folding a draft that had been typed past the bottom of the field left the
text view scrolled, and the clip window — sized as a line plus the 8pt slack
the field adds to its own clamp — landed mid-scroll. The folded card showed
two half lines from the middle of the message.

The clip is now exactly one whole line, and folding pins the draft back to
its first line and holds it there for the life of the fold (the resign and
the height change both re-scroll the text view after the update pass).
Expanding gives the draft its scroll position back.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The transcript was a ScrollView + LazyVStack, which has no writer that
compensates its own content offset when a row measures away from its estimate.
That missing writer was 88% of the ~50,500pt of unwanted displacement the
scroll bench measured over its eight cases; the rest came from six observers
racing for the same offset — a prepend probe that never installed, a keyboard
restore re-stamped per frame, a non-animated pin cutting the animated jump, a
pin storm while streaming, and a scrollToLatest issuing two disagreeing writes.

WorkChatTranscriptCollectionView hosts a compositional list layout with a
diffable data source keyed by the timeline's own row ids, and every existing
SwiftUI row renders unchanged inside a UIHostingConfiguration cell. A height
cache keyed by row id + width + content revision keeps a row that scrolls back
into view from re-measuring. Rows whose content changed are reconfigured, never
re-inserted, so the measured height and the reader's anchor survive.

workChatFollowLatch is the whole scroll authority: one pure function over
{following, inUserSession}, unit-tested on its own, where a scroll frame may
break follow only inside a user session spanning finger-down through the end of
momentum. Programmatic scrolls and layout compensation cannot feed back into
the decision that authorized them, and exactly one function performs writes.

While not following, the transcript holds an anchor on the reader's row and
restores it after every apply and every layout pass — including the passes
UIKit runs for its own self-sizing, caught by a UICollectionView subclass that
reports its layoutSubviews, since those never change the controller's bounds.
Revealing buffered history now requires that the transcript is not following:
the opening frames report the top with a content height that trivially fits,
and were spending the whole buffered page before anything was on screen.

Deletes the prepend probe and its preference key, the force-pin retry ladder
and its quiescence timer, the layout restore-offset machinery, the two-write
scrollToLatest, the 2pt stickiness deadband, WorkChatScrollMetrics, and the
always-nil subagent-transcript plumbing left over from 40297f3. The DEBUG
trace stays and gains a viewport line: contentOffset stopped being a usable
proxy for "did anything move" the moment UIKit started compensating itself.

Bench, eight cases, ungestured viewport movement over 2pt with no write to
account for it: 44,688pt -> 32pt (one move, in the case where the transcript is
glued to the tail and rows above it must move).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The description named the agent and described the schedule — "Claude picks it
up after the current tool step" — which reads as a fact about the run rather
than as what the button does to this message.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The restore ran on every layout pass whenever the transcript was not
following, with no test for whether the anchored row had actually moved. At
the top of the thread that closed a loop: the reader overscrolls to -18.3, the
restore writes the anchor's offset of -9, the write lays out, the pass reads
the same stale sample and writes again. Case d logged 446 such writes, all
while the reader's finger was down, and it pinned the rubber band at -9
instead of letting UIKit settle it to the edge — under a live finger, which
the follow pin two branches above refuses to do for exactly this reason.

workChatShouldRestoreAnchor is the decision, pure and unit-tested. Three
refusals: the reader owns the offset for the whole interaction, finger-down
through the end of momentum; overscroll is UIKit's to settle; and a row that
has not moved needs no restore. The anchor now carries the row's content minY
as of the sample or the last restore, so "this row moved" can be told apart
from "this sample is old" — an absolute restore cannot tell them apart on its
own. A successful restore advances the anchor, and the write is guarded
against re-entering itself.

Bench case A was also measuring nothing: `press(forDuration: 0.9,
thenDragTo:)` holds the touch stationary first, and a stationary touch on a
transcript row is a long press that the row's context menu claims, so the
movement never reached the scroll view. It is now a short press dragged at a
low velocity — the gesture the case meant — and registers 229 user frames
where it previously registered none.

Eight cases, ungestured viewport movement over 2pt with no write to account
for it: 0pt. anchor-relayout writes: 0 (446 before). Only follow-pin and
jump-to-latest writes remain, all with userPhase=false.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The half-second hold before the drag registered as a long press on a transcript row, so the reader never left follow mode and the case never measured streaming while scrolled up.

…place

Two review findings on the mobile chat work.

Back-to-back sends erased the newer draft. Queued steering lets a second
message leave the composer while the first is still unconfirmed, and both
sends shared one `pendingSendKey`, so whichever settled first cleared the
other's persisted text and attachments. Each send now carries its own
token, and only the newest token for a key may release that key's stored
payload.

Non-message cards stayed stale. `workChatTranscriptRowRevision` hashed
payload fields only for `.message`, so a tool card going running →
completed, a subagent card gaining a summary, or a pending-input card
gaining a resolution kept its revision and the new UICollectionView
transcript skipped the reconfigure. The row revision now hashes the whole
card model for every non-message payload, which the height cache key
already follows.

Seven review findings across the mobile chat wire and the iOS transcript.

Desktop: the graduated-steer skip in `transcriptEntriesFromEnvelopes` ran
after the assistant draft was flushed, so a queued row that is never
emitted still ended the message it landed inside — a mid-turn steer read
as two assistant entries with nothing between them. The skip now runs
first. `compactToolResultForMobile` also stopped advertising a fetch for
an unserializable result: `JSON.stringify` throwing made the size
unmeasurable, and the row claimed "Show full result" with a 0-byte
original for a short fallback the fetch would return verbatim.

iOS: only an explicit non-queued `command_lifecycle` status graduates a
steer now, in both `pruneResolvedQueuedSteerEnvelopes` and
`derivePendingWorkSteers` — a statusless frame is an off-contract host,
not evidence the message left the queue. The transcript deduplicates row
ids before the diffable snapshot, since a split assistant message mints
ids by string concatenation and both the snapshot and the row map trap on
a repeat. `jumpToLatest` schedules its animation fallback for every
animated jump that is not being dragged, so a transcript resting at a
negative offset cannot leave `animatingToLatest` set and suppress follow
pinning. And the in-thread subagent rows are no longer buttons: the
drill-in they used to open is gone, and the callback only toggled hidden
Chat Info state.

A retry reuses a tool call's logical item id, so `findStoredToolResult`
answered every row with the newest result for that id: expanding an older
retry row showed the newer attempt's output, cached under the older row's
sequence. The phone already kept the transcript sequence in its cache
identity; `chat_tool_result` now carries it too, and the lookup requires
an exact match when the client names one. A client that omits it keeps
the newest-match behaviour it already has.

Also corrects the iOS companion doc: with the in-thread subagent drill-in
gone, the transcript's spawn/result rows are flat rows rather than taps
that expand a card, and only the Chat Info roster still expands.

`toolResultFullBytes` to nil, which reads as "this row already has
everything" and hid the Show-all affordance for a head slice. Truncation
is now recorded even when the size is not, and the button drops the size
from its label rather than disappearing.

The transcript height cache keyed on `row.revision &+ contentRevision`,
so one revision moving could cancel the other and restore a height
measured for different content; the two are separate key fields now.
Pruning also filtered on row id alone, which kept every revision a
surviving row was ever measured at — a streaming session grew the cache
for its whole life. It now keeps only entries a live row can still ask
for.

And both `command_lifecycle` steer-id reads coerce each key on its own:
an explicit `"steerId": null` arrives as NSNull, won the `??`, and hid a
snake_case `steer_id` beside it, losing the id whose queued row then
never graduated.

Two more review findings.

An upload that never settled stayed `.abandoned` forever, so the retry row
failed instantly on every tap and the message could not be sent at all. The
no-duplicate rule still covers the whole timeout window — the first resolve
waits it out before anything is marked abandoned — but past that deadline
the original leg is presumed dead: the retry cancels it, records the
failure, and stages the bytes inline. A duplicate temp upload is a file
the send references once; an unsendable message is not recoverable.

And `chat_tool_result` now carries the row's timestamp beside its
sequence. Older hosts restarted `eventSequence` at 1 on every rehydration,
so one legacy transcript can hold two generations under the same number
and an exact sequence match could still pick the wrong one. With both
named, both must match; with only the sequence, the newest-first scan
keeps taking the newest of a tie.

The fetch request gained the envelope timestamp beside its sequence, because
a legacy transcript can repeat a sequence across host restarts. The cache
did not, so two generations shared one entry and the second expansion was
handed the first one's output without ever reaching the host. The cache
key, the in-flight key, and the row's reset identity now all use the same
session/item/sequence/timestamp tuple the host matches on.

`findStoredToolResult` scans a bounded window back from the tail so an id
that is not in the file costs fixed I/O. The reader can page much further
back than that window, though, so a truncated result they can still see
read as "no longer in the transcript" — on a 16 MB thread, about half of
them.

The window stays as it is. Instead the row now carries its location: the
pager already computed `envelopeStartOffsets`, so `chat_history` returns
them, the phone stamps each row with its own offset, and
`chat_tool_result` passes it back as `sourceOffset`. The host reads that
one row directly and falls back to the existing scan when the hint misses.

The hint is never trusted on its own — the row found there must still
match the id, the sequence and the timestamp — so a stale, misaligned or
foreign offset costs a scan, never a wrong result. Offsets are zipped onto
events only when the lossy event array still has the same length, so a row
this build cannot decode drops the page's hints rather than shifting them
onto the wrong rows.

Guard upload completion with an entry generation.

A retry can cancel task after it records a settled timeout failure. If the upload throws CancellationError, this observer then removes entries[id]. A later begin can start another host upload for the same restored UUID.

Assign each Entry a generation token. Before every completion mutation, confirm that entries[id] still has that generation. Add a cancellation-aware regression test.

Based on learnings, an async completion handler must verify the current request identity before it mutates shared in-flight state.

… cursor

A slim subagent-progress event is marked delivered the moment the
coalescer accepts it, because coalescing owns it from then on and this
host flushes it when the one-second window closes. That bargain holds
only while the pending entry stays in this process. A shared-listener
handoff exports the cursor and not the window, so the adopted host
resumed after those sequences and never re-read them: the update died
with the process and the phone's subagent card kept whatever it last
showed.

Every pending entry is now flushed onto the peer's wire — still open, the
loop skips peers whose socket is not — before the snapshot is built. If a
send fails mid-flush, the exported cursor is held back to the last
sequence that actually left, so the adopted host re-reads the stranded
window instead of skipping it.

🔴 Older send failure loses attachments

When an older concurrent send fails before a newer send succeeds, finishPendingSend leaves its restored attachments unpersisted. The newer completion clears the shared draft while only text is rewritten. Navigation or termination then loses the failed message’s attachments.

Learn more

Each pending send shares one draft key, but attachments are restored outside WorkChatComposerDraftState. If send A fails while newer send B remains pending, restoring A changes inputAttachments; attachment persistence then skips because B still owns the key. When B succeeds, finishPendingSend clears the draft and rewrites nonempty text only, leaving A’s attachments absent from persistent storage.

Example: Send A contains design.png, then send B starts. A fails first and restores design.png onscreen. B succeeds and clears the shared draft. Leaving the chat before another attachment change restores A’s text without design.png.

Recommended fix: Track each pending send’s attachment payload alongside its token, or persist the currently restored attachments after the final pending send settles. Ensure a newer success cannot clear attachments restored by an older failure, and add an out-of-order completion regression test.

🟡 Later dot progress is discarded

After an underscore progress event, foldSubagentProgressForSnapshot discards every later dot-family update for that agent. Unrelated events do not reset the remembered family, so valid dot-only updates leave the mobile subagent card stale.

Learn more

A dot-family progress event is a duplicate only when it immediately mirrors the corresponding underscore event. The snapshot fold instead remembers the latest family per agent across the entire snapshot. A later standalone dot update for that agent is therefore treated as the old underscore event’s mirror and removed, despite carrying newer state.

Example: The transcript contains underscore progress 10%, an unrelated tool event, then standalone dot progress 90% for agent A. The fold keeps 10% and drops 90%, while the phone must show the latest progress.

Recommended fix: Track adjacency or an exact mirror identity when dropping dot events. Otherwise let a later dot event replace older progress for the same agent; preserve underscore preference only for the actual emitted twin pair.

Preserve the transcript position for stranded coalesced events.

When a handoff flush fails, SubagentProgressCoalescer.requeue retains the event. This code caps only chatEventSequences but exports chatTranscriptOffsets unchanged. The adopted host restores both independently, starts reading after the stranded transcript record, and does not retry that progress event.

Transfer pending coalescer entries, or cap the exported transcript offset before the first stranded record together with the sequence cursor.
