 **Which chi a worker runs:** a new or woken worker runs the newest chi installed for this Ruby (`gem 'samagotchi', '>= 0.a'`, prereleases count), whoever starts it: a `chi web` or terminal still on an older chi starts it on the newest one, so a stale process doesn't spread old code. A worker already running keeps its version until it is restarted. Should the newest install fail to load, the worker runs the starter's own version and logs `boot_fallback` (its stdio is `/dev/null`). Under `bundle exec` the worker drops Bundler's env first, so it activates the newest gem too. Two consequences: a wrapper pin (`chi _0.17.0_ web`) pins only that process, not the workers it starts; and a source checkout (`bin/chi` in a worktree, `bundle exec`) starts its workers on its own `lib/`, but a session it made that is later woken by an installed chi (`chi web`, `chi send`) runs the installed code. The names an older starter hands a newer worker (the boot line, its env keys, `input/` files, the session JSON fields and the Bridge routes sessions use on each other) are pinned in `spec/worker_contract_spec.rb`.
 
-**Stopping a worker:** `chi sessions stop ID` marks the session stopped (an empty `<id>/stopped` file, not a session.json field, which a worker saving at that moment would write over; a resume removes it), sends its worker TERM and waits (up to 10 s) until the worker has let go of `owner.lock`, so a `chi --resume ID` right after spawns a fresh worker. That is also how to restart a worker still running an older chi, which the attached terminal reports when a command or a question dismiss gets a 404, and the web when an answer, a dismiss, a command or a cancel does (`501 not_supported`; `BridgeClient.stale_worker_message`). A command this chi has that the older worker doesn't (`/llm-context`, the web's `llm ctx` chip, against a 0.39.0 worker) says the same, not `not a session command` (`SessionCommands.builtin_name`); a typo keeps its `400 unknown_command`. The web's `POST /api/sessions/:id/stop` waits the same way, for 2 s. A command sent during a turn that waits for its end (`/model X`, `!cmd`; see *Typing during a turn* in [cli.md](cli.md)) and hasn't run when the worker leaves (a stop, a crash) is answered `command_ran {status: "dropped"}`, so no UI keeps showing it waiting.
+**A worker outlives whoever started it:** a spawned worker leaves its spawner's process tree (it is forked again, in a session of its own, and reparented to init), so closing the terminal of a `chi web`, or a tool tearing down a background `chi send --wait` and its children, no longer takes the worker and its turn with it.
+
+**A worker killed mid-turn:** while a turn runs, its worker keeps it on disk (`TurnCheckpoint`): the session file has the turn so far (the prompt from the turn's start, then the finished tool steps and lines merged into it) and `interrupted_turn: {id, started_at, at, iteration}`, written as the turn starts, at the loop's first iteration boundary and then at most every 10 s (`updated_at` moves with it). The turn's end saves the real messages without the mark. A worker that died without ending its turn (SIGKILL, a crash of the process) leaves the mark, and loses what came after its last written boundary: at most the last 10 s of steps, plus the step in flight. Each checkpoint write also saves the turn's metrics so far to `analytics.json` (tokens, speeds, timings, its finished tool calls), as the record a killed turn leaves: canceled, `cancellation_reason: worker_stopped`; the turn's own end writes over it. The next worker to start for the session (a `chi send`, `--resume`, `--attach`, the web), or a `--no-shared` REPL resuming it, settles the turn before anything else (`TurnCheckpoint.settle`, log `interrupted_turn_settled`): a note `the previous turn was cancelled (worker-stopped) after Ns` goes at the tail, the status goes idle and the mark goes; `last_turn` stays the previous turn's (a new one saved before the turn a `chi send --wait` woke the worker for would end that wait at once). The session shows the turn's prompt and steps with that note; the dead turn is not run again, and the model reads on its next turn that it was cut.
+
+**Stopping a worker:** `chi sessions stop ID` marks the session stopped (an empty `<id>/stopped` file, not a session.json field, which a worker saving at that moment would write over; a resume removes it), sends its worker TERM and waits (up to 10 s) until the worker has let go of `owner.lock`. A running turn is canceled over the Bridge first (so a command it was running says "stopped by the user"; only a bare signal to the worker makes it "stopped by a signal to chi"); the TERM stops whatever still runs as a Stop with reason `signal` and saves it (a spawned worker traps TERM, HUP and INT: `WorkerSignals`; a turn not ended within 3 s, 0.5 s after a stop or a second signal, is cut and the session saved as it was), and a stopped worker still saves its kept turn, since the marker, not the saved status, says stopped. Any TERM, HUP or INT does the same to a worker outside a stop: it leaves (log `worker stop reason=signal`) and the next send wakes a new one, so a `chi --resume ID` right after spawns a fresh worker. That is also how to restart a worker still running an older chi, which the attached terminal reports when a command or a question dismiss gets a 404, and the web when an answer, a dismiss, a command or a cancel does (`501 not_supported`; `BridgeClient.stale_worker_message`). A command this chi has that the older worker doesn't (`/llm-context`, the web's `llm ctx` chip, against a 0.39.0 worker) says the same, not `not a session command` (`SessionCommands.builtin_name`); a typo keeps its `400 unknown_command`.

 **Deleting a session:** `chi sessions delete ID...`, `/exit --delete` in a terminal and the Web UI's delete all go through `SessionManager.delete_session`: it resolves a unique prefix, removes `<id>.json` and the whole `<id>/` dir, and returns what it removed. A session a plain REPL has open (`owner.lock` kind `tui`) is always refused. One a worker runs is refused unless the caller asks to stop it: then it stops the worker as `chi sessions stop` does and deletes once `owner.lock` is free (`--force` on the CLI, 10 s; the web always, 2 s; `/exit --delete` after the worker agreed to exit, 10 s). A worker that outlives the wait leaves the session in place. The web's route is `DELETE /api/sessions/:id` (200 `{status: "deleted", session_id, stopped}`; 409 `owned_by_tui` or `still_stopping`; 404).

-- Web UI (`chi web`): the page's scope is in its URL. Started in a git repo, `chi web` opens `/?dir=<that folder>`: that project's sessions, and new chats start in that folder; the header chip says `<project> · all`, and `all` opens the same place without `?dir` (every session; a new chat there starts in the server's own folder, shown on the start page, and cards name their folder; `← <project>` goes back to the project view it came from, or to the server's own project). One server serves every project: a second `chi web` (from another repo) finds it through `GET /api/info` and prints (with `--open`, opens) its page for its own folder instead of starting another. The 3 latest sessions sit above the chat (`hide ▴` puts them away behind a `▾ N sessions` pill, remembered; in a window under 900 px wide, where the strip scrolls sideways, `▴ hide` sits in the top bar where the pill comes back; a window under 700 px tall hides them by itself, so a question or approval card in the stage keeps room, and the pill shows them until the window is tall again). A parent and its delegates are one card there: its `▸ 2 delegates · 1 live · 1 waiting` chip (the waiting part in the attention colour, the card's border too) opens their rows in a popover under it (a row per delegate at any depth, indented; a click opens that one, Esc or a click outside closes it, and the strip's order holds while it is open). A fork is a card of its own, and so is a delegate whose parent isn't listed (archived, another project), with its `↳ <parent>` chip; the pill counts cards, and every live or waiting session. "All sessions" (or `/`) opens every session at `#/sessions`, with a search over preview, id and status (Esc or Back returns). There a parent's card holds its delegates the same way, the chip opening their rows inside the card (each with an archive button on hover), open by itself while one of them waits on you; the count says `14 (+7 delegates)`, a search that matches a delegate shows its parent's card with the list open and the matching rows marked, and select mode picks cards (archiving a parent takes its delegates). The open session is in the URL (`#/s/<id>`), so a reload or a copied link opens it again; the chi logo top left goes back to the empty start for a new chat. The message box grows with its text; drag its top edge to keep it taller (double-click resets). A file in a tool row (a read, edit or write's title) and its diff lines are refs: hover one and click to open the current file in your editor at that line, on this machine only (`web.editor`; the browser's "always allow" for the page's port and VS Code's "allow opening local files" are asked once; see [Opening files from chi web](configuration.md#opening-files-from-chi-web)). So are an edit or write approval card's paths (at the first line the dry run changes) and its diff lines, before you approve, and the numbered lines of a read's output: `lines 40–60` under it opens the text as read, numbered, when the output is the file as-is (not the head/tail preview of a big file, an error or an image; no numbers after a cut). A `path:line` (or `path:line-line`) in an answer or a step's text is one too once the turn has ended, and after a reload, when it names a file a row or card on the page touched: the path under the session's folder, else the one touched file it ends with (a bare `app.js:12` when only one touched file is named so; two such files make it none); a path without a line counts only when it is a touched file exactly. Code blocks, links, bare URLs and inline code with more than the ref in it are left alone, and a file the session didn't touch is never linked; a link whose text is such a ref alone (github-pr's link to the PR diff) becomes a ref too, and its plain click still goes to the PR. A ref with more than one target shows a small `▾` on hover: it opens a menu of them, in order **PR diff** (a link's), **Open in editor**, **Show in turn** and **Copy path**, and a plain click runs the first (a link's own, else the editor, else show in turn). **Show in turn** scrolls to the tool row that touched the file (looked for in the ref's own step, then its own turn, then the rows before it, then the nearest after it; there, the last one showing the ref's line, else the last one), opens the steps, the stage's steps and the row's diff (or the read showing the line) and flashes the row and the line; an answer's or a step's ref and an approval card's path have it, not a row's own title or lines. It needs no editor, so a viewer without one (a phone on the LAN) gets an answer's refs with **Show in turn** as their click; a row's title and diff lines stay plain text there. On a touch screen a tap opens the menu. A ref with a target is a tab stop: Enter runs its first target, ↓ opens the menu (↑/↓ move, Enter picks, Esc closes back to the ref). Diff and read lines have their click only. The info bar copies `chi --attach <id>` for a terminal. A session whose prompt carried model notes has a `notes: deepseek` chip there (the names without `model_notes_`; the tooltip lists each with its scope and size; `session.prompt_notes` in `GET /api/sessions/:id`, the live worker's, else the session file's; see [Memory](memory.md#model-notes)). Its `llm ctx` chip names the LLM context strategy the next turn runs under (`llm ctx stale,forget · session`, in the accent colour when the session set its own; the tooltip gives each value's source), and its popover sets the session's own strategy, apply rule and budget, or follows the model again, by running `/llm-context` in the worker (the reply shows as a command bubble); `GET /api/sessions/:id`'s `session.llm_context` carries the values (the live worker's, else resolved from the session file), and a `command_ran` that changed them carries the new ones. Its `think` chip does the same for the thinking level (`/thinking`), and on a chat host its `reasoning` chip for the reasoning history (`reasoning all · session`, `/reasoning-history`; `session.reasoning_history`, null on a native host). A `/thinking` or `/reasoning-history` change that restarts the prompt cache asks first: the reply bubble has an **Apply (restarts the cache)** button that sends its `--yes` line (the chips' Set sends that line itself; see [Changes that restart the prompt cache](configuration.md#changes-that-restart-the-prompt-cache)). It shows the context used (`ctx 42%`) and the last generation's decode speed (`87 tok/s`, `~64 tok/s` when estimated; see `/stats` in [cli.md](cli.md#session-commands)); hovering `ctx` there or on a session card lists the session's tokens in (summed over every request, with the cached share), out (with reasoning) and the cost when the provider reports one, for this session only (one estimated from a `hosts.<name>.models` price shows with `~`: `cost: ~$0.54 ($0.42 reported, ~$0.12 estimated)`), and the memory indexes its prompt holds (`memory index: ~3.4k tokens in this session's prompt (system 2.0k, project 1.4k)`; see [Memory](memory.md#the-indexs-size)). The start page's model picker (bottom left of the composer, the chosen name `▾`) chooses the model a new chat starts on; it opens a search list over the conversation (↓ or a click; downward when the start page leaves no room above): an empty search shows the last 5 picks (Recent) and then each host's model ids A–Z under the host, the default host first (an id the host declares under `hosts.<name>.models` first, noted `config`, its tooltip `served by config (hosts.<name>.models)`; a host that failed to list its models keeps those ids, greyed and noted `host down`, still pickable; a remembered or default model stays chosen even then, greyed on the button); typed words must each match the host or the id (a substring, else for 3+ characters the letters in order, so `deepseek4.1 fla` finds `openrouter · deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash`), ⏎ picks, Esc/Tab close, a pick puts the focus in the message box: `GET /api/models` lists the hosts' models as chi spells them (`{default, models: [{name, host, id, configured?, unavailable?, sampling?, llm_context?}], warning?}`; `configured: true` marks an id declared under `hosts.<name>.models`, listed first under its host, `unavailable: true` one whose host failed to list its models; `sampling` is the model's configured request parameters as `/model` words them, the row's tooltip in the list; bare for the default host, `host:model` for the others, from the same cached lists as `/models`, a bounded wait, a host that is down noted in `warning`), and `POST /api/sessions` takes `model` (blank means the default). Beside it, an `llm ctx` chip shows the LLM context the picked model starts under (each `GET /api/models` row's `llm_context`, as the info bar's); its form sets one for the new chat only, sent as `POST /api/sessions`'s `llm_context` and never remembered (see [configuration.md](configuration.md#llm-context-a-sessions-own-strategy)). The start page's first message goes as later ones do: `POST /api/sessions` with `idle: true` and `preview` (the message, which names the session until its turn is saved), then `POST /api/sessions/:id/turn`, so a failed first turn puts its prompt back in the composer too; a first line that is one of the new session's commands (`/model …`) goes to `POST /api/sessions/:id/command` instead, as later ones do. The browser remembers the last model picked; a running session's model is in the info bar and changes only with `/model`. In the composer a line is a command when it is `!…` or starts with one of the session's command names (its `commands` list; `/stats`, `/exit` and the other terminal words get the page's own reply); an unknown `/word` (`/usr/bin/env is missing`) goes to the model as a prompt, as in a terminal; a one-word `/word` no command answers (`/modle`) is not sent: the page shows `Unknown command /modle. Did you mean /model? /help lists the commands.` (the "Did you mean" part only when a name is close). A `POST /turn` (or a session's first `prompt`) that is one of the worker's commands runs as that command too (`202 {status, command_id, session_id}`), so `chi send`, `chi -p` and a page whose command list lags all get the command. ↑/↓ in the composer walk the prompt history the TUI's ↑ walks ([Persistent Prompt History](cli.md#persistent-prompt-history)): ↑ with the caret on the first line, ↓ from the last line while browsing, ↓ past the newest brings the draft back; `GET /api/history` returns `{entries: [...]}`, oldest first (the page fetches it on focus and after each send). The server records a sent line in the routes once the worker took it (`POST /turn` accepted, a `!command` through `POST /command` or as a session's first line); `"history": false` in the body keeps it out (an image-only send).
+- Web UI (`chi web`): the page's scope is in its URL. Started in a git repo, `chi web` opens `/?dir=<that folder>`: that project's sessions, and new chats start in that folder; the header chip says `<project> · all`, and `all` opens the same place without `?dir` (every session; a new chat there starts in the server's own folder, shown on the start page, and cards name their folder; `← <project>` goes back to the project view it came from, or to the server's own project). One server serves every project: a second `chi web` (from another repo) finds it through `GET /api/info` and prints (with `--open`, opens) its page for its own folder instead of starting another. The 3 latest sessions sit above the chat (`hide ▴` puts them away behind a `▾ N sessions` pill, remembered; in a window under 900 px wide, where the strip scrolls sideways, `▴ hide` sits in the top bar where the pill comes back; a window under 700 px tall hides them by itself, so a question or approval card in the stage keeps room, and the pill shows them until the window is tall again).

A plugin's refs on an answer (an `after_turn` hook's, see [Refs on the answer](hooks.md#refs-on-the-answer-display-only)) are paired with its links and text whatever the rows touched: they can link a file the session didn't touch, or an issue or a commit, and add their own actions to the ref's menu. A plugin tool's row carries the refs its `refs:` gives (see [Refs on a tool's row](plugins.md#refs-on-a-tools-row)): its title opens the first, and its `▾` menu adds the others as `<ref> · <action>` (the URL on hover); their URL actions work on a phone too. A ref with more than one target shows a small `▾` on hover: it opens a menu of them, in order **PR diff** (a link's), **Open in editor**, **Show in turn** and **Copy path**, and a plain click runs the first (a link's own, else the editor, else show in turn). **Show in turn** scrolls to the tool row that touched the file (looked for in the ref's own step, then its own turn, then the rows before it, then the nearest after it; there, the last one showing the ref's line, else the last one), opens the steps, the stage's steps and the row's diff (or the read showing the line) and flashes the row and the line; an answer's or a step's ref and an approval card's path have it, not a row's own title or lines. It needs no editor, so a viewer without one (a phone on the LAN) gets an answer's refs with **Show in turn** as their click; a row's title and diff lines stay plain text there. On a touch screen a tap opens the menu. A ref with a target is a tab stop: Enter runs its first target, ↓ opens the menu (↑/↓ move, Enter picks, Esc closes back to the ref). Diff and read lines have their click only. The info bar copies `chi --attach <id>` for a terminal. A session whose prompt carried model notes has a `notes: deepseek` chip there (the names without `model_notes_`; the tooltip lists each with its scope and size; `session.prompt_notes` in `GET /api/sessions/:id`, the live worker's, else the session file's; see [Memory](memory.md#model-notes)). Its `llm ctx` chip names the LLM context strategy the next turn runs under (`llm ctx stale,forget · session`, in the accent colour when the session set its own; the tooltip gives each value's source), and its popover sets the session's own strategy, apply rule and budget, or follows the model again, by running `/llm-context` in the worker (the reply shows as a command bubble); `GET /api/sessions/:id`'s `session.llm_context` carries the values (the live worker's, else resolved from the session file), and a `command_ran` that changed them carries the new ones. Its `think` chip does the same for the thinking level (`/thinking`), and on a chat host its `reasoning` chip for the reasoning history (`reasoning all · session`, `/reasoning-history`; `session.reasoning_history`, null on a native host). A `/thinking` or `/reasoning-history` change that restarts the prompt cache asks first: the reply bubble has an **Apply (restarts the cache)** button that sends its `--yes` line (the chips' Set sends that line itself; see [Changes that restart the prompt cache](configuration.md#changes-that-restart-the-prompt-cache)). It shows the context used (`ctx 42%`) and the last generation's decode speed (`87 tok/s`, `~64 tok/s` when estimated; see `/stats` in [cli.md](cli.md#session-commands)); hovering `ctx` there or on a session card lists the session's tokens in (summed over every request, with the cached share), out (with reasoning) and the cost when the provider reports one, for this session only (one estimated from a `hosts.<name>.models` price shows with `~`: `cost: ~$0.54 ($0.42 reported, ~$0.12 estimated)`), and the memory indexes its prompt holds (`memory index: ~3.4k tokens in this session's prompt (system 2.0k, project 1.4k)`; see [Memory](memory.md#the-indexs-size)). The start page's model picker (bottom left of the composer, the chosen name `▾`) chooses the model a new chat starts on; it opens a search list over the conversation (↓ or a click; downward when the start page leaves no room above): an empty search shows the last 5 picks (Recent) and then each host's model ids A–Z under the host, the default host first (an id the host declares under `hosts.<name>.models` first, noted `config`, its tooltip `served by config (hosts.<name>.models)`; a host that failed to list its models keeps those ids, greyed and noted `host down`, still pickable; a remembered or default model stays chosen even then, greyed on the button); typed words must each match the host or the id (a substring, else for 3+ characters the letters in order, so `deepseek4.1 fla` finds `openrouter · deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash`), ⏎ picks, Esc/Tab close, a pick puts the focus in the message box: `GET /api/models` lists the hosts' models as chi spells them (`{default, models: [{name, host, id, configured?, unavailable?, sampling?, llm_context?}], warning?}`; `configured: true` marks an id declared under `hosts.<name>.models`, listed first under its host, `unavailable: true` one whose host failed to list its models; `sampling` is the model's configured request parameters as `/model` words them, the row's tooltip in the list; bare for the default host, `host:model` for the others, from the same cached lists as `/models`, a bounded wait, a host that is down noted in `warning`), and `POST /api/sessions` takes `model` (blank means the default). Beside it, an `llm ctx` chip shows the LLM context the picked model starts under (each `GET /api/models` row's `llm_context`, as the info bar's); its form sets one for the new chat only, sent as `POST /api/sessions`'s `llm_context` and never remembered (see [configuration.md](configuration.md#llm-context-a-sessions-own-strategy)). The start page's first message goes as later ones do: `POST /api/sessions` with `idle: true` and `preview` (the message, which names the session until its turn is saved), then `POST /api/sessions/:id/turn`, so a failed first turn puts its prompt back in the composer too; a first line that is one of the new session's commands (`/model …`) goes to `POST /api/sessions/:id/command` instead, as later ones do. The browser remembers the last model picked; a running session's model is in the info bar and changes only with `/model`. In the composer a line is a command when it is `!…` or starts with one of the session's command names (its `commands` list; `/stats`, `/exit` and the other terminal words get the page's own reply); an unknown `/word` (`/usr/bin/env is missing`) goes to the model as a prompt, as in a terminal; a one-word `/word` no command answers (`/modle`) is not sent: the page shows `Unknown command /modle. Did you mean /model? /help lists the commands.` (the "Did you mean" part only when a name is close). A `POST /turn` (or a session's first `prompt`) that is one of the worker's commands runs as that command too (`202 {status, command_id, session_id}`), so `chi send`, `chi -p` and a page whose command list lags all get the command. ↑/↓ in the composer walk the prompt history the TUI's ↑ walks ([Persistent Prompt History](cli.md#persistent-prompt-history)): ↑ with the caret on the first line, ↓ from the last line while browsing, ↓ past the newest brings the draft back; `GET /api/history` returns `{entries: [...]}`, oldest first (the page fetches it on focus and after each send). The server records a sent line in the routes once the worker took it (`POST /turn` accepted, a `!command` through `POST /command` or as a session's first line); `"history": false` in the body keeps it out (an image-only send).
 - Web notifications: when a session needs you while the tab is hidden or behind another window (a question or a guardrail approval, a plugin card with buttons during a turn such as check-in's, a failed turn, a turn done after 10 s or more; a delegated session only for its questions, a canceled turn never), the page title counts it, `(N) Chi`, until you come back to the tab. The bell at the right of the top bar also turns on OS notifications ("needs an answer", "needs approval", "needs you", "turn failed", "done in 42 s", under the session's first message; a click opens the session): its first click asks the browser for the permission, and the choice is kept per browser. Any session of the page's scope counts, not only the open one. What was already so when the page loaded never counts, and several chi tabs show one notification per event. A chi tab in front tells the others (a `BroadcastChannel`), so while you look at one, the ones behind neither notify nor count what it shows; coming back to a tab clears those events in the other tabs' titles too. The hub's `session` frames carry what this needs: `pending_question` (`{id, kind}`, kind `question` or `approval`), `pending_card` (`{id, bundle}`: the running turn's card with actions, from `pending_card.json` that the worker keeps in the session's folder while one is open; a card without actions, such as loop-guard's, never counts) and `last_turn` (`{outcome, ended_at, seconds, origin}`, saved in the session's JSON as the engine ends each turn).

Unit-tested via `npm test` (`node --test spec/web/public/*.test.js`).
 - Selecting a session in the web UI is read-only: `GET /api/sessions/:id` never spawns a worker (it reads a live worker's snapshot when one runs, else the session file). A prompt (`POST /turn`) or a command (`POST /command`) wakes the worker, and `/stream` briefly waits for a freshly-spawned bridge before answering. A caught-up SSE reconnect holds the stream open; `reset` markers are only sent for reconnects behind the ring window, or with a cursor from another worker (event ids are `<event_seq>-<epoch>`, one epoch per worker).
