+# Native harness audit — decisions
+
+Authoritative submission: `native-harness.questions.answers.json`, submitted `2026-09-26T20:32:01Z`. **Later decisions win: the PR-review amendments at the end of this file replace Q-17 (Send now) and the earlier "refuse when rules cannot fit" behaviour.** Original question IDs and the submitted deck are preserved; no answered deck is rebuilt.
+
+## Original deck — 11 approved items
+
+| Original question | Scope | Audit source |
+|---|---|---|
+| Q-1 | Preserve usable history when a permission decision fails; no unauthorized execution | F01 |
+| Q-2 | Drain accepted messages after background-report processing; normal busy-send timing is additionally amended by Q-16 below, while Stop still preserves submitted messages | F02 |
+| Q-3 | Reload applicable rules when context clearing/summarization removes them | F03 |
+| Q-4 | Correct rule-file parsing and folder-pattern boundaries | F10 |
+| Q-5 | Load newly applicable guidance before a dedicated file-changing action, then let the model reconsider; not arbitrary shell interpretation | D01 |
+| Q-7 | Give Bash-enabled specialists their own BashOutput/KillShell controls; no broader shell grants | F04 |
+| Q-9 | Make foreground-to-background command handoff fail safely | F06 |
+| Q-11 | New conversations use updated MCP configuration/credentials; preserve existing-session snapshots | F08 |
+| Q-12 | Replace abandoned partial output consistently on automatic retry; never replay completed actions | F09 |
+| Q-14 | Verify content freshness before suppressing repeated file reads | F12 |
+| Q-15 | Independent answer identity for duplicate-worded questions across native/Claude Code compatibility | F13 |
+
+Approval of an item is not a release, merge, paid evaluation or live-configuration authorization. Implementation has not started.
+
+## Denied — do not implement
+
+**Q-10 / F07:** remove the stale, previously YouCoded-owned MCP projection when a credential becomes unavailable. The user selected Deny without an additional note. Do not infer permission to make an alternative credential-cleanup change. The audit finding remains an observation, not approved work.
+
+## Follow-up decisions — resolved
+
+Authoritative second submission: `native-harness.follow-up.questions.answers.json`, submitted `2026-09-26T21:10:47Z`. Q-18 was left as Other in that submission and then resolved by explicit chat approval below; do not rewrite the historical answers file to pretend it contained that approval.
+
+| Question | Decision | Authorized scope |
+|---|---|---|
+| Q-16 (Q-2 extension) | Automatic safe-boundary delivery — simplified by explicit chat instruction | One normal send flow: a message submitted while busy appears as queued, then is automatically delivered as soon as safely possible within the ongoing turn rather than waiting for the whole turn to end. No separate After this finishes option, steering-mode picker or urgent-send control. Preserve the existing queued-message presentation and Edit/Cancel controls unless a specific change is needed for correctness. No concurrent turn, implicit permission approval, or cancellation of a running action merely because a message arrives. An active long command or unresolved approval may still delay the next safe boundary. |
+| Q-17 (Q-2 extension) | `no-urgent-action` — **superseded 2026-09-28, see PR-review amendments** | Do not add Send now, automatic background-on-send, or a new Stop and send action. Existing Stop remains. |
+| Q-18 (Q-6, instruction files) | Full ancestor chain — explicit chat approval | Read instruction files through all parent folders, broadest first and nearest last, rather than stopping at the Git root. Preserve one selected file per folder: AGENTS.md preferred, otherwise CLAUDE.md. This is Pi/Claude-Code-like search breadth, not a promise of full compatibility or automatic resolution of conflicting prose. Dedicated personal-global locations and import expansion are not added by this decision. |
+| Q-19 (Q-6, folder rules) | `approve` | Inherit applicable path-scoped project rules from the Git project root to the working folder, including narrowed specialist tasks. Match relative to each rule's owning folder. This remains project-bounded even though Q-18's instruction-file ancestry is broader; no new personal-global, cross-project or unscoped/eager-rule behavior. |
+| Q-20 (Q-8) | **Deferred by subsequent user instruction** | Originally approved graceful-group behavior, but C2's ownership review found it requires a broader command-supervisor design to avoid recycled process-group IDs. After being offered deferral versus including that larger change, the user said “lets defer for now”. No supervisor or unsafe delayed-kill workaround in this batch. Existing stopping limitation remains; contract R17 must not be marked fixed. |
+| Q-21 (Q-13) | `approve` | Extend cancellation and the existing request deadline across website-address lookup; ignore late results and cancel underlying work where supported. No new permissions, site restrictions or automatic retries. |
+
+### Q-16 simplification — latest instruction overrides the proposed extra option
+
+User: **“i don't want a separate \"after this finishes\" option. that just seems tedious. a message should just appear as queued, then send as soon as safe/possible instead of waiting all the way until the end of a long turn. should be straightforward.”**
+
+This removes the separate follow-up choice previously described in Q-16 and the assistant's proposed UI preview. Keep one send flow and the familiar queue; change delivery timing, not the number of controls. The historical deck answers remain untouched. This correction is authoritative over the earlier proposal, research recommendations and UX summary.
+
+### Q-22 — native-only question identity fix
+
+Submitted `native-harness.cc-duplicate.questions.answers.json` at `2026-09-28T10:22:02Z`: **Q-22 pick native-only**. Keep independent duplicate-wording answers for native conversations; remove the proposed Claude Code duplicate-question warning and Submit block. Preserve Claude Code's prior legacy behavior and unique-wording payloads rather than inventing an upstream answer field or silently renaming questions. The Claude Code duplicate-wording limitation remains unfixed and must be explicit in final acceptance. This supersedes any implementation report describing the unapproved refusal as the completed compatibility behavior; signed contract R12 is native-only under this amendment.
+
+### Q-18 clarification and approval provenance
+
+The user asked to clarify the approaches and competitors. The assistant used a nested Workspace → App Git repository → desktop example, comparing nearest-only, Git-root-chain and all-parent-folder loading. It then explicitly recommended **the full ancestor chain, like Pi and Claude Code, for this nested workspace**, explaining that this preserves workspace guidance above an individual repository but can also load unrelated parent instructions.
+
+The user's direct response was: **“okay, i'm fine with your recommendation”**. This approves the full-ancestor recommendation, superseding the earlier project-root-only recommendation in the deck. It does not approve every feature of either competitor.
+
+Research: `native-harness.follow-up-research.md`. The original deck, follow-up deck and both submitted answer files remain unchanged. No question in these two rounds remains open; implementation planning and any required UI/contract review are still separate from shipping. Q-10 remains denied, and audit findings outside the approved scopes are not implicitly authorized.
+
+## PR-review amendments (2026-09-28) — these replace earlier answers where they conflict
+
+Source: `native-harness.pr-review.questions.answers.json` (submitted `2026-09-28T19:42:07Z`), follow-up chat, and the five Send now review rounds (`native-harness.send-now{,-2,-3,-4,-5}.review.answers.json`).
+
+| Step | Answer | What it means now |
+|---|---|---|
+| Q-1 | `after-batch` | A message sent mid-task is read after the assistant's current batch of actions finishes; planned actions are not cancelled. Destin's note asked for a Send now button, since this can mean a short wait. |
+| Q-2 | `reset` | A message that joins the running turn resets the "keep going?" step count. |
+| Q-3 | `buttons-only` | Keep the waiting-message buttons; no Up-arrow recall, no pickup delay. |
+| Q-4 | `nearest-only` | The session folder's own instruction file takes the room it needs first; broader parent files get what is left and are still named to the model if squeezed out. |
+| Q-5 | `other` → chat | "Simplest/most robust" resolution: rules that cannot fit are shown shortened once, then the model re-plans. **No refusal.** Replaces the earlier "an unfittable group ends with a not-run refusal" (see `2026-09-28-native-harness-final-review-fixes.md`). |
+| Q-6 | `panel-only` | A same-folder CLAUDE.md skipped because AGENTS.md wins is noted in the context panel only. |
+| Q-7 | `other` → chat | Unchanged repeat Reads are verified by a piecewise fingerprint of the file's bytes before loading it, not by modified time. |
+| Send now | 5 review rounds, approved | **Replaces Q-17.** A waiting message gets a Send now control that stops the current task like Stop and sends that message next. Accent send-style button with an up arrow that reveals "Interrupt and Send Now" on hover; trash icon for Cancel; plain pencil for Edit. |

+
+# Native harness — answers to the four follow-ups
+
+Research for the submitted questions deck, 26 September 2026. No implementation or live-app testing. The original answers remain authoritative in `native-harness.questions.answers.json`.
+
+## 1. Why does a queued message sometimes wait so long?
+
+**YouCoded native currently waits for the whole turn, not the next action.** A turn may contain many cycles of model response → tool actions → another model response. A message queued near the beginning can wait through all of them. Waiting for permission also keeps the turn open. Native chat's queued-message strip has Edit and Cancel, not Send now. Stop interrupts the current turn but leaves queued messages to run afterward.
+
+This differs from the stranded-message bug already approved in Q-2: that bug can leave a message waiting even after the current work finishes. Fixing it does not by itself introduce mid-turn steering.
+
+| Harness | Ordinary message while busy | Faster/manual behavior |
+|---|---|---|
+| YouCoded native now | FIFO follow-up after the entire turn settles. | Stop ends the current turn; queued messages survive. No main-chat Send now. Existing specialist steering reaches the child's next model-step boundary. |
+| Claude Code, current docs | Messages queued during tools are delivered after those tool calls finish, within the same turn. Commands/shell commands wait until turn end. | Ctrl+Enter or Ctrl+X Ctrl+S sends now. In v2.1.281+, eligible shell/subagent work moves to background and the same turn continues; otherwise the turn is interrupted and the message goes next. |
+| Pi | Enter steers after the current response and its tool calls finish. | Alt+Enter waits until the task finishes. Escape aborts and returns pending messages to the editor. |
+| OpenClaw | Documents steer as the default; checks before sequential tools and the next model decision. A tool already running is not interrupted by ordinary steering. | Separate followup and interrupt modes. |
+
+**“Mid-turn” is not “rewrite the words already streaming.”** The model needs a new request to read new input. A safe boundary can occur before its next decision, rather than waiting for the whole task. A twenty-minute foreground command can still delay that boundary unless it is moved to background or explicitly stopped.
+
+Suggested behavior for discussion: ordinary Enter steers at the next safe boundary, with an explicit way to request an after-task follow-up. An optional Send now should distinguish backgrounding eligible work from canceling it. Neither should run two simultaneous turns against one conversation, grant permission by implication, or replay completed actions. Specialist targeting and permission-wait handling need explicit treatment in the implementation contract; this research does not claim the existing child-steer method already supplies a complete parent-chat implementation.

+## 2. How do others inherit instruction files?
+
+| Harness | What startup reads | Scope and qualifications |
+|---|---|---|
+| Hermes | Documents a merged Git-root-to-current-folder AGENTS chain; global identity is a separate SOUL.md. | Outside Git, only cwd. Its overall context-file type selection favors Hermes files and overrides before AGENTS/CLAUDE; it does not promise to merge every filename together. Nested hints load progressively after tool calls. |
+| Pi | One personal agent-directory instruction file, then one instruction file per ancestor directory down to cwd. | Walks to filesystem root, not Git root. Per-folder priority: AGENTS.override.md, AGENTS.md/AGENTS.MD, CLAUDE.md/CLAUDE.MD. Includes a duplicate-copy exception for a linked worktree nested inside its main checkout. |
+| Claude Code | Personal/managed instructions plus ancestor CLAUDE.md and CLAUDE.local.md, root-to-cwd; nested guidance loads on Read. | Does not stop at Git root. Current default AGENTS support uses AGENTS only when no qualifying ancestor/cwd CLAUDE file exists. Optional both-mode loads CLAUDE then AGENTS in each directory. Context order is not enforced conflict resolution. |
+| OpenClaw embedded runtime | Explicit agent-workspace bootstrap, plus AGENTS.md from a separate execution folder. | Not documented as a general ancestor CLAUDE/AGENTS chain. Native Codex delegates part of discovery to Codex rather than injecting it twice. |
+
+**Our original Q-6 was a proposed YouCoded policy, not a universal standard.** It selected one file per folder, preserving AGENTS.md as the preferred file with CLAUDE.md as fallback; it did not propose loading both. It would merge across directories inside the Git project, rather than selecting just the nearest file.
+
+For this workspace the boundary matters: an app component worktree has its own Git root, while useful workspace instructions can live above it. Git-root-only loading avoids unrelated parent guidance but will not automatically solve that case. Pi/Claude Code's full ancestor walk reaches such guidance, at the cost of loading more potentially unrelated files.
+
+Folder rules are a **separate decision**. Claude Code recursively discovers `.claude/rules`, loads unscoped rules at startup and path-scoped ones on matching reads; personal rules are separate. Ordinary Claude Code subagents inherit its main instruction hierarchy, with documented Explore/Plan/custom opt-out exceptions. Pi's context loader and Hermes's progressive hints do not establish equivalent Claude Code `paths:` rule compatibility. YouCoded currently starts its rule index at the narrowed session/child folder, losing outer applicable project rules.
+
+The follow-up deck therefore separates instruction-file ancestry from ancestor folder-rule inheritance. Global personal loading, same-folder filename policy, imports and unscoped/eager-rule policy are not silently included in either proposal.

+
+## 3. How do others stop a command and its subprocesses?
+
+**A shell is not the whole command.** A shell can start a compiler/server/test runner and exit before that program does. Our reproduced defect is that delayed force-stop checks whether the original shell is alive rather than whether its owned process group is alive.
+
+| Harness | Local process-stop implementation | What this proves |
+|---|---|---|
+| Pi | Unix: immediate SIGKILL to the group, with direct-PID fallback. Windows: taskkill /F /T. | There is no graceful-delay leader-exit race in that helper because it force-stops immediately; this does not prove cleanup of every detached descendant. |
+| OpenClaw agent-core | POSIX group stop: SIGTERM, then normally 3 seconds before SIGKILL. Escalation checks group existence and keeps targeting that group after the leader exits. | Direct source precedent for correcting our exact group-versus-leader condition. It verifies ownership and avoids falling back to a possibly reused leader PID. Other backends/platform paths differ. |
+| Hermes local terminal | Starts commands in new sessions, records group identity, and uses POSIX/Windows cleanup helpers. Foreground yield backgrounds work rather than killing it. | Group-aware design established. The researcher's retrieval of its graceful helper was incomplete, so the exact leader-exit escalation predicate was not verified. |
+
+Recommendation: retain YouCoded's existing graceful-first approach and its current two-second grace, but check/stop the remaining **owned group** even when the shell exits first. Do not broadly search by process name. This is a correction to stopping work already targeted for termination, not a proposal to kill deliberately backgrounded work whenever you send a message or press ordinary Stop. Processes that deliberately detach into another group are outside this guarantee. Windows needs its own verification; OpenClaw's Windows path is not proof that our Linux condition carries over.
+
+Sources:

+
+## 4. What did the web-cancellation question mean?
+
+Before a webpage can download, the computer looks up the website's network address—like looking up its phone number. If that address lookup stalls, the current tool does not stop waiting just because the conversation was canceled. The audit reproduced that gap with a controlled lookup, not a real broken website.
+
+The proposed fix is limited: **Stop ends the wait at this stage too, and the existing request timeout includes it.** A late answer is ignored; underlying work is canceled where the operating system supports it. No new site restrictions, permissions or automatic retries are part of this decision.
+
+Source: `youcoded/desktop/src/main/harness/tools/net-guard.ts:72–79,130–159`; reproduced in `youcoded/desktop/tests/native-boundaries-audit-probe.test.ts`.
+
+## Evidence boundaries
+
+These peer comparisons are docs/source inspection, not live end-to-end tests. Pi's instruction-loader source is pinned; most other links track current upstream main/docs. No claim is made that all peers solve every lifecycle race, that instruction ordering enforces compliance, or that canceling a wait rolls back completed work.
