 ## Current Release
 
-`v0.2.4` is available from [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/parallel-codex-tui/v/0.2.4) and as a [GitHub Release](https://github.com/allendred/parallel-codex-tui/releases/tag/v0.2.4). Codex Router, Main, and automated Workers now place the non-interactive approval policy at the required root position as `-a never ... exec`, while retaining `read-only` routing and `workspace-write` coding sandboxes. Isolated Codex roles also replace unsafe or interactive approval arguments; native attach remains interactive. The Claude Main permission fix from `v0.2.3` remains included.
+`v0.2.6` is available from [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/parallel-codex-tui/v/0.2.6) and as a [GitHub Release](https://github.com/allendred/parallel-codex-tui/releases/tag/v0.2.6). Main now rebuilds bounded file-backed conversation context from `chat.jsonl` on every call, so an expired, retired, or otherwise unavailable native session can start fresh without forgetting the recent dialogue. Ordinary chat and each active Task use separate history scopes, the current request is not duplicated, only the latest 12 matching records are considered, and the injected transcript stays within 6,000 characters.
 
-The release keeps terminal scrolling and copying available at the same time without requiring Shift. Ordinary left-drag selection remains owned by the terminal while alternate-scroll delivers the wheel to chat, Worker logs, and structured views. `Ctrl+Y` copies the visible view as a fallback. It preserves the embedded native Agent scrollback across status-detail round trips and real PTY resizes.
+Complex task memory now retains the root Turn plus the latest 19 previous Turn summaries within a 12,000-character budget. When a longer task omits intermediate summaries inline, the prompt points the Worker to the complete immutable Turn history on disk. Main chat still extracts only the final Codex answer while retaining the complete CLI transcript in `output.log`; legacy transcript-shaped chat records are cleaned when displayed without rewriting their file-backed evidence. Workspace integration ignores known host metadata such as `.DS_Store` and AppleDouble files while continuing to reject real concurrent project edits.
+
+The default role map is Main/Judge/Actor on Codex and Critic on Claude. Status details show the complete active role map separately from each historical Worker's persisted Provider/model. Config monitoring labels Router-only edits as active on the next request and marks role, Worker, model, permission, or UI changes as requiring restart. Claude text/JSON print runs are recognized as buffered work, use the total deadline instead of a false first-output deadline, and run safe isolated tools through non-interactive `auto` permissions. The `v0.2.4` non-interactive Codex permission placement remains included. The release keeps terminal scrolling and copying available at the same time without requiring Shift and preserves the embedded native Agent scrollback across status-detail round trips and real PTY resizes.
 
 Highlights:
 
 - Judge produces validated requirements, acceptance criteria, and a dependency-aware Feature DAG. Actor/Critic pairs exchange checked JSONL findings and replies, followed by Wave Critic and final Judge acceptance.
 - A conflicting parallel wave is archived with its merge evidence and returned to the same Judge native session for a bounded DAG replan. The replacement plan must retain the same Feature IDs and serialize every conflicting pair; a deterministic serialized fallback is used when the Judge response is invalid.
 - Tasks retain every Turn, historical Worker log, native session binding, model snapshot, and collaboration artifact across follow-ups and restarts. A 20-turn soak verifies 80 ordered Workers before and after restart.
+- Main responses, raw process evidence, active role configuration, and historical Worker identity now have separate display and persistence paths.
 - `--diagnostics` and `Ctrl+X` export bounded, redacted support evidence without prompts, role instructions, command arguments, source files, or environment-variable values.
 - Runtime preflight checks Codex, Claude, named third-party Providers, proxy reachability, workspace access, CLI capabilities, and native attach policy before work starts.
 - Named Worker Providers support Codex-compatible, Claude-compatible, OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic-compatible, and custom generic commands with independent role, model, environment, permission, resume, and interactive settings.
 - Worker overview, Feature board, collaboration timeline, Task center, status details, rendered Markdown/Diff/error logs, Unicode search, keyboard navigation, mouse scrolling, and configurable themes share one terminal UI system.
 
-Release acceptance includes a real three-Feature Tetris task with parallel Actor/Critic waves and final integration review. Real Codex and Claude probes both proved fresh and same-session resume calls; Codex fresh and resume runs executed workspace writes with root-level `-a never`, and a Claude Main session executed safe Bash tools before and after resume with `auto` permissions. The semantic Router completed a live classification, and one TUI completed Main calls in two workspaces before restoring the first workspace without leaking chat state. PTY coverage runs in Apple Terminal, tmux, and Zellij profiles at narrow and wide sizes, including status/log equivalence and preserving the native output tail across status-detail round trips. The deterministic repository suite passed 1,265 tests across 123 files; one quota-consuming real-Agent test is skipped by default and passes through `npm run test:real-agents`.
+Release acceptance includes a real three-Feature Tetris task with parallel Actor/Critic waves and final integration review. A clean `v0.2.5` task also ran Codex Judge and Actor, a buffered Claude Critic that independently executed `node --test` and `npm test`, atomic integration, and a resumed Codex Judge that independently passed all seven acceptance criteria. Real Codex and Claude probes both proved fresh and same-session resume calls; Codex fresh and resume runs executed workspace writes with root-level `-a never`, and Claude automated sessions executed safe Bash tools with `auto` permissions.

 Real Provider probes depend on valid local CLI credentials. In particular, authenticate the Claude CLI before selecting a Claude-compatible Worker, then run `parallel-codex-tui --doctor --probe-agents` to prove fresh and resumed calls on that machine.

+- Consecutive simple requests reuse the main worker's native session across app restarts when the CLI exposes a session id. Every Main call also rebuilds a bounded fallback transcript from the workspace `chat.jsonl`: ordinary chat and each Task are isolated, the just-submitted request is removed, and at most 12 recent records or 6,000 characters are injected.

 - Parallel Actor, Critic, and revision batches honor `[orchestration].maxParallelFeatures` (default `3`).
 - Each planned feature gets an isolated Actor implementation workspace, a disposable Critic review clone, worker directories, logs, status, native session ids, and a mailbox under `features/<turn>-<feature>`; the shared dialogue remains in `dialogue/actor-critic.jsonl`. Concurrent text and JSONL appends inside one TUI are serialized per resolved file path, preserving call order without blocking independent feature files; one failed append does not poison later writes.
 - Feature revision mailboxes are a checked protocol rather than prompt-only convention. A `REVISION_REQUIRED` Critic must write one `{"id":"C-001","severity":"blocker","summary":"..."}` row per blocker to `critic-findings.jsonl`; the revision Actor must write matching `{"finding_id":"C-001","status":"fixed","notes":"..."}` rows to `actor-replies.jsonl`. Missing, malformed, unacknowledged, or contradictory findings stop the task before live integration.

 - Pressing `Esc` while a request is running stops the router or active worker and records an interrupted complex task as `cancelled`; exiting the outer TUI also terminates the active run.
 - Failed and cancelled tasks expose `Ctrl+R` retry. Retry keeps the same task and turn, reuses recorded native worker sessions, preserves prior output behind a retry separator, does not route the request again, and reuses the persisted feature dependency plan. A complete Judge snapshot and fully integrated waves are skipped; an unchanged in-progress wave reuses successful Actor and Critic checkpoints and runs only unfinished workers. If the live workspace no longer matches the saved baseline, the stale wave checkpoint is rejected and rebuilt from the current project before workers continue.
 - The shared Main chat holds its own `sessions/main/run-owner.json` lease across prompt initialization, native-session reuse, and Worker completion. A second TUI is rejected before it can clear or overwrite the active Main prompt, log, status, or native session, and startup native-session reconciliation skips a Main session owned by another live TUI. After a hard exit, startup atomically claims the stale Main lease, terminates every verifiable orphan process group, marks active Main Workers `cancelled`, preserves native session ids, and records recovery before exposing the runtime. An unverifiable or still-running Main process blocks startup without changing its status or checkpoints.

 - Native session metadata is also recoverable. `native-session.json` is the active commit point and is projected into Worker status plus the `workers` and `native_sessions` SQLite rows. A matching `native-session.retired.json` tombstone always wins over a leftover active session file, while a different replacement session id remains active. Before restoring workers, startup reconciles the active file, Worker status, and both SQLite projections before the first TUI frame; tasks owned by another live TUI are left untouched.
 - Session index rebuilding publishes either the previous complete snapshot or the new complete snapshot. Clearing and repopulating task, turn, Worker, and native-session rows runs in one SQLite transaction; a filesystem or database failure rolls the whole rebuild back, while concurrent readers keep seeing the previous committed snapshot.
 - Terminal completion is evidence-guarded. The latest `supervisor-summary.md`, feature `decisions.md`, and approved feature states are published before task status can become `done`; duplicate task and feature state writes are idempotent, every real task transition records its `from` and `to` state, and a complete `done` task cannot regress unless a new follow-up turn has first been created. Each committed task state change carries a unique transition marker in `meta.json`; same-process retries repair missing projections immediately, and startup repairs a missing event or SQLite projection from that marker before another transition can replace it. Startup also audits legacy `done` tasks that have an integrated latest-turn checkpoint: missing summaries or unfinished feature states are recovered to `cancelled`, then `Ctrl+R` rebuilds final evidence without rerunning completed workers. Legacy log-only `done` sessions without integration proof remain untouched.

 - Worker prompts, logs, status, and outputs are written to disk.
 - The bottom status line shows the active task state and feature progress such as `wave 1/2 · actor 2/3`, `wave 1/2 · integration 0/1`, and `wave 1/2 · verification 0/1`. Chat, Worker logs, status details, and native attach derive this summary from the same persisted runtime snapshot, so changing views does not rename or reorder task state. While classification is running, it follows the real subprocess through `starting`, `waiting output`, `diagnostics`, `receiving`, `parsing`, and `stopping`, keeps live elapsed/limit progress, identifies a non-default Router runner, and identifies the path as `direct` or `via <proxy-host:port>`. Before output arrives it shows the active first-output deadline and total ceiling; after activity begins it shows total elapsed progress and the idle watchdog. As soon as a fresh initial or follow-up route settles, chat temporarily inserts a themed route rail with `route · <mode> · <source>` followed by the indented Router reason before Main or parallel execution finishes, then replaces it with the final answer or error without adding noise to persisted chat history. Task retry restores its saved route without announcing it as a new Router decision. The status line then replaces the wait state with the final route source, duration, or fallback cause.
 - Completed complex tasks open as a structured result at the top of the chat viewport. Requirements, the complete bounded Actor worklog, authoritative integrated changed paths, Critic review, verification evidence, and findings render as themed full-width sections instead of losing everything after each section's first line. Changed files come from the workspace integration result rather than an Actor claim; verification keeps the Critic decision and reported test/build evidence. Multi-feature delivery uses the same result protocol and includes combined Wave verification. Long results start at the title and scroll toward findings; `Ctrl+D` toggles the focused result between full detail and its five-line compact summary, and beginning the next message collapses it automatically. Result lookup follows the persisted task id, so restoring one task cannot display another task's result. Empty state and ordinary short chat remain adjacent to the input.
