@@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ Behavior:
 - A task record keeps its process's pid and start time (`pid_started`). Before `task_stop` signals, the pid must still lead its own process group and must not have started at another time; otherwise the pid was reused by another process, nothing is signalled and the task ends as failed. A start time that can't be read at that moment (a failed `ps`) falls back to the group check, as does a record without `pid_started` (from an older chi). `task_get`, `task_list`, `task_wait`'s polls and the running-task lists (a cancelled turn's note, a worker's idle exit) make the same check, so a task whose pid was reused reads as exited (failed) at once, not as running until a `task_stop`; on macOS that is one `ps` per running task per check (~5 ms).
 - A stop (`task_stop`, the user's Stop of an `execute`, the execute limit in kill mode) TERMs the task's process group, then KILLs it after a grace. The groups its processes started are stopped too: a GNU `timeout N cmd` (without `--foreground`) moves itself and its command to a group of its own. `ProcessGroup.stop` finds them with one `ps -A -o pid=,ppid=,pgid=` (~40 ms on macOS) before the TERM and again before the KILL, walking down from the group's members. A process whose parent already exited (reparented to init, e.g. a setsid'd `cmd &`, or a backgrounded `timeout N cmd &` after its shell exited) is not found and runs on.
 - Task listing is workspace-scoped (current project only).
-- `execute` runs its command with stdout and stderr in two logs under `$XDG_STATE_HOME/samagotchi/execute/<id>/` (outside the workspace: `git status` and `rm -rf tmp` never see them), stdin `/dev/null` and the same `exit_code` wrapper as a task. Its own copies of the logs hold a shared `flock` across the spawn: while a fresh exclusive `flock` fails, some process the command started still has them open. When the shell exits, a background child still holding them (`server &`) gets 1.5 s, then its group is stopped; one holding none (`nohup server >log 2>&1 &`) is left alone. A holder that left the group (setsid) is out of the stop's reach: it runs on, the result ends with the "left running" hint, and its dir stays for it to write to (the sweep removes it once no one holds the logs). Otherwise a finished command's dir is removed. Known gap on Linux: a command that writes through `/dev/stdout` or `/dev/stderr` (`echo b >/dev/stdout`) reopens the log file itself with `O_TRUNC`, so the output before it is lost (macOS dups the descriptor; the fix would be a relay pipe). The check needs the state dir on a local file system: over NFS, `flock` is emulated with `fcntl` locks, which children don't inherit.
+- `execute` runs its command with stdout and stderr in two logs under `$XDG_STATE_HOME/samagotchi/execute/<id>/` (always an absolute path: a relative `XDG_STATE_HOME` is taken from the directory chi started in; outside the workspace: `git status` and `rm -rf tmp` never see them), stdin `/dev/null` and the same `exit_code` wrapper as a task.

The check needs the state dir on a local file system: over NFS, `flock` is emulated with `fcntl` locks, which children don't inherit.
 - The exit code: the command runs after an EXIT trap that writes the shell's status to the `exit_code` file (`TaskRuntime.wrapped_shell_command`, shared with `task_create`), so `exit N`, a `set -e` failure and a trailing `\` or `|` in the command all record what the shell exited with. The trap runs wherever the shell is when it exits (a `task_create` `cwd`, or a `cd` in the command), so `task_create`'s `exit_code_path` is absolute; its `output_path` stays relative (`tmp/tasks/<id>/output.log`, opened by chi in the worker's cwd before the spawn). A command that sets its own EXIT trap replaces it, and a shell killed by a signal skips it (zsh's sh mode, on TERM, INT and KILL): `execute` still reports the shell's status, and a `task_create` task or a handed-over execute gets its code from chi's waiter while the chi that started it runs (`TaskRuntime.record_exit_status`): the exit status, or `128 + the signal` (TERM → 143), with no new `stop_reason`. A record a refresh already finished without a code in between (`failed`, `process_ended_without_exit_code` or the not-chi's-process reason) is corrected, its `finished_at` kept; a stopped task (its stop flag on disk) is never touched. `process_ended_without_exit_code` is left only when the shell wrote nothing and the chi that started it was gone too.
 - A stop of an `execute` (the user's Stop, the limit in kill mode) is done once the shell is reaped and nothing holds the logs: a child that ignores TERM after its shell died gets the KILL.
 - A command still running at `execute.timeout_sec` is handed over as a task (`execute.on_timeout: task`, the default; `kill` stops it instead, and the `!cmd` bang always kills): the result starts `Still running at the 120s limit: moved to a background task, not killed.`, then `task_id: …` and the tails of both logs so far. A timeout during the 1.5 s background grace is a kill (the shell is gone, nothing to hand over). If the record can't be written, the command is killed. `TaskRuntime.adopt` writes a record for the process execute already started, with `handed_over_by: "execute"`. Its logs stay where execute wrote them, so the record's paths are absolute: `output_path` (stdout), `stderr_path` (stderr, a log of its own) and `exit_code_path` (a `task_create` record's `exit_code_path` is absolute too; its `output_path` is relative). `started_at` (and `created_at`) is the spawn time, not the hand-over's; `pid_started` is read at the hand-over, while execute's detach waiter is still running. From there it is an ordinary task: `task_wait`, `task_get`, `task_list` and `task_stop` treat it as any other. Its dir gets a `task` back-pointer file holding the record's absolute path. Once per process, the first `execute` sweeps `…/execute/`: a dir whose logs no process holds is removed when it has no back-pointer and is a day old (chi died mid-command), when its record is gone, or when it is 14 days old. The records live in each project's `tmp/tasks`, which the state dir can't list: hence the back-pointer.
@@ -32,5 +32,6 @@ Behavior:
 - `task_wait` accepts `timeout`, `tail_lines` (maximum 100), and `done_pattern` (a regular expression string).
 - `task_create` accepts `env` as a JSON object string for deterministic overrides such as `PATH`; use an absolute interpreter path when that is simpler. Ruby/Bundler isolation variables remain protected.
 - `execute` and `task_create` export chi's own markers into the command, set over the model's `env` (which can't set them: `Error: env key is reserved`): `SAMAGOTCHI_PARENT_SESSION` (the session's id, `chi` without one; a chi started there answers as a parent agent), `SAMAGOTCHI_SESSION_MODEL` (the resolved ref the session runs on, read at each call so it follows `/model`; unset when unknown) `SAMAGOTCHI_SESSION_THINKING` (the session's own thinking level; unset when it has none) and `SAMAGOTCHI_SESSION_REASONING_HISTORY` (its own reasoning_history level, the same way). `chi self` reads the last three for its model, thinking level and reasoning history. The four are `TaskRuntime::MARKER_ENV_KEYS` (and `SessionManager::SESSION_MARKER_ENV`, which a spawned worker unsets). A session's worker never inherits them from whoever started it (a `chi send` run by another session's `execute`): its other commands (a user's `!cmd`, an MCP server, a context command) have none.
+- They also pass on a set `XDG_STATE_HOME` / `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` made absolute (`Builtins.xdg_absolute`, via `Paths`), so a chi the command runs in another `cwd` (`chi send`) reads this chi's state and config. These aren't reserved: an XDG dir the model sets in `task_create`'s `env` stays its own.
 
 Work that needs a model, not a shell command, goes to a child chi session instead: `delegate` / `delegate_result` have the same shape (start, then wait) and return only the child's final reply; see [Sessions: Delegating](../sessions.md#delegating).

 - 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 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, and a fresh chain link's (see [Session chains](#session-chains); there a pick shows as a `/model` command bubble in the link); 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` (`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).
