Correcting by the error each pass could see, and asking again on the pass that
answered, was a frame per pass with the ones in between drawn: opening a card
visibly stepped. It also still missed, because two of the passes were spent
finding out what the list would do rather than telling it.
`requestScrollToItem` against the row itself says it outright, in one pass: the
row is placed wherever it has ended up and whether or not it is still on screen,
and a negative offset -- which is the list being asked for the rows below a card
that has just given the screen its whole height back -- is exactly what a close
needs and works. Everything else follows from where that puts it.
A call opened or shut *inside* a group is a third case, and it was being treated
as the second: the group is not the thing opening, it is the container, and
centring it on the tap threw a group of six the length of the screen. What keeps
the call under the finger is holding the group's top edge, so that everything
above the change -- that call's own heading included -- stays where it is.
Checked with ktfmtFormat, compileDebugKotlin, lintDebug and testDebugUnitTest,
and on the emulator against the sandbox with sampling as fast as the device will
report it, so an intermediate frame would show: a 2,785px card closed at 600,
1200 and 1800 lands centred on 600, 1200 and 1800 to the pixel, each in one
step; opening by the heading holds the heading still; and opening or closing a
call inside a group of five leaves the group's heading exactly where it was.
Two things were wrong with the hold, and each hid the other.
It held a *share* of the row's height: the point the finger was on stayed, in
proportion, which is the same miss in miniature as holding an edge. Tap away
from the middle of a long card and the heading landed most of a card's height
from the finger, and off it. A shut card is a heading, and the only place it
belongs is centred under the hand that shut it, wherever down the card the tap
was.
And the correction was worked out from the change in height, which needs the
list to behave the way the arithmetic assumed. It does not: which item it holds
still across a resize depends on what it has composed -- a row taller than the
screen is anchored on itself -- and a scroll it cannot honour in full is
honoured in part with nothing said. Measured rather than predicted now: each
measure pass asks for the error it can see, and the pass that answers is where
the rest becomes askable. Three passes is the worst seen, including the one
where a card that reached past the bottom of the screen has shut, left the
viewport entirely, and has to be asked back to the bottom edge before there is
anything to measure at all.
The pass has to be the *measure* one. A scroll asked for during placement is
never picked up by another measure and does nothing whatever -- which is what
the first version of this did, and why a close moved nothing -- so the list
took an `afterMeasure` hook and the correction lives there.
Checked with ktfmtFormat, compileDebugKotlin, lintDebug and testDebugUnitTest,
and on the emulator against the sandbox, against a 2,785px card in a
conversation with room on both sides: closed at 1450 it lands 1387..1513, at
1700 it lands 1637..1763, at 1950 it lands 1887..2013 -- centred on the tap to
the pixel each time. Opening by the heading still holds the heading still, and
a group closed from its footer bar lands on the bar. Where the conversation
runs out -- a card at the very start with nothing above it to scroll -- it
lands as close as the list can put it, which is what it could always do.
Being open did two things to grouping, and only one of them was wanted. It held
a call standing on its own out of the run it belongs to, so a command finishing
behind the card being read no longer shuts it and folds it away mid-sentence.
It also took a call *out* of the group it was already inside, and that is what
made collapsing jump: grouping is what gives a row its identity, so one tap
rebuilt the rows around the finger -- opening a call inside a group split the
group into two pieces with mismatched keys, and closing one replaced three rows
with one, which no anchor survives. Measured at 450px of jump, with the card
that was closed going with it.
So the held-out set is now the screen's, not the transcript's: a call that has
never been drawn inside a group and is open stands out of its run, and a call
that has been in one stays in it whatever the reader does to it. Being inside a
group once is a fact about what the reader has been shown, which is why the
screen is what remembers it.
Checked with ktfmtFormat, compileDebugKotlin, lintDebug and testDebugUnitTest,
and on the emulator against the sandbox: opening a call inside an open group of
six leaves it one group of six and closing it returns every row to the pixel it
came from; a call opened while standing alone survives a reply landing behind
it, and folds back into "Called 3 tools" when it is closed without moving the
rows below it.
Collapsing held one of the row's edges -- whichever the tap was nearer -- which
is right for opening and wrong for closing: the row that shuts leaves a heading
where a screenful of card was, and both its old edges can be a screen's length
from the finger that shut it. It now keeps the touched point itself, which for a
closed card is the same thing as landing under the hand that closed it. Opening
is unchanged and deliberately so: those rows are small, every point in them is
within a heading's height of both edges, and the edge pressed is what the reader
wants held rather than a fraction of an unbounded expansion.
One number carries both readings -- the share of the row's height above the
touch, spent as it is on a close and rounded to the nearer edge on an open.
The scroll offset the correction asks for goes negative on a close, and has to:
that is the list being asked for the rows below what it has composed, which is
where the newer content comes from when a card gives a screenful back. It was
clamped at zero, which was invisible while every correction was a row growing
and is what left closes uncorrected.
Checked with ktfmtFormat, compileDebugKotlin, lintDebug and testDebugUnitTest,
and on the emulator against the sandbox: a 1441px card closed at a quarter of
its height put the collapsed card's top at 743px against 743 predicted, and
opening a card by its heading still holds the heading still.
A running session no longer moves: the ones with a process come first,
oldest start first, so starting one appends it to the bottom of that
group and nothing it goes on to do -- beginning a turn, finishing one,
asking a question -- can shift it. Sorting by activity with the
awaiting-answer ones floated to the top is what this replaces; the
status word and its colour already say which session wants something
without the row having to move to say it. Stopped sessions are a group
below, most recently active first.
The order is the server's: `SessionConfig::started` is written each time
a process is started for a session and reported as `started`, so it is
the same on every device and survives a backend restart -- which adopts
processes rather than starting them, and so could not work the times out
for itself. Applied on the phone, because presentation order is a
display decision.
`LiveSession::info` takes the session's config entry rather than a
parameter per field read from it, which is what `AutoResumeView` existed
to bundle; that goes.
Verified on the emulator against the sandbox: three echo sessions kept
their order while the newest-active one was messaged; a stopped and
restarted session moved below one started after it; a stopped session
dropped below every running one; and after a backend restart the
recorded times came back unchanged.

A notification arriving while the app was open was shown as a banner and
nowhere else, so a moment that happened while the phone was face-up on a desk
left nothing behind at all -- the banner is seconds long and reaches only
somebody already looking.
The two are not two versions of one thing: a banner interrupts and a row
records. Both go up now, and the banner having done the interrupting is what
makes the row a silent one (`setSilent`), so one moment is worth a noise once.
What keeps the drawer from filling up is the other end rather than suppression,
and already was: opening a session clears whatever is posted about it, whichever
way the reader got there.
Checked with ktfmtFormat, compileDebugKotlin, testDebugUnitTest and lintDebug,
and on the emulator against the sandbox, reading the posted record out of
dumpsys: app on the session list gives a banner and flags=AUTO_CANCEL|SILENT;
app backgrounded gives flags=AUTO_CANCEL; opening the session leaves nothing
posted about it in either case.
A call left its group only while it was running, so the moment a command ended
it vanished behind "Called 3 tools" -- and a session that has run its last
command and is composing its answer, or has finished the turn entirely, spends
most of its time in exactly that state. What folds a call back into its run is
therefore not finishing but being overtaken: anything arriving behind it, a
reply included, makes it history.
Standing outside the run is the call's place in the list as it is now rather
than something recorded on the call, so it is asked of the list while grouping
it, where the rest of that decision already lives.
Checked with ktfmtFormat, compileDebugKotlin, testDebugUnitTest and lintDebug,
and on the emulator against the sandbox: "/tools 3 1" settles as "Called 2
tools" with the third Bash card beneath it, and folds to "Called 3 tools" the
moment the next reply lands.
A run of adjacent calls is drawn as one collapsed card, which hid the one
thing worth seeing without opening anything: the command the session is
running right now. It is a row of its own while it runs and folds back into
the run when it ends.
Grouping stays a display decision, so the pieces a running call cuts a run
into are keyed there. The first piece keeps the run's name -- that name is
what survives a page of history landing in front of it -- and later pieces
take their own first call's id behind it, since the call a run was named
after can itself be the one running.
The echo rig's /tools gap now runs between a call's start and its end rather
than between one call and the next, which is where a real session's time goes
and what makes the running state observable at all.
Checked with ktfmtFormat, compileDebugKotlin, testDebugUnitTest (new
ToolRowsTest) and lintDebug, cargo fmt/clippy/test, and on the emulator
against the sandbox: "Called 2 tools" with the live Bash card beneath it.
A message typed during a turn reaches the model at the next model call if
the turn has one left, and otherwise as the opening line of the next turn --
Claude's read out of the fifo after the turn ended, Codex's requeued when
turn/steer is refused. Read there it is indistinguishable from a reply, so
the model treats the answer it just gave as seen.
Both drivers now compose the text the CLI receives through
driver::message_body, which prefixes a note saying the message was written
without having seen the rest of that turn. The transcript still holds the
words that were typed; only the CLI's copy carries the note.
