 ## Current Release
 
-`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.
+`v0.2.7` is available from [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/parallel-codex-tui/v/0.2.7) and as a [GitHub Release](https://github.com/allendred/parallel-codex-tui/releases/tag/v0.2.7). Main now combines a lightweight inline transcript with an extended, file-backed memory snapshot. The prompt still carries at most the latest 12 matching records or 6,000 characters, while `conversation.jsonl` retains up to 200 scoped records for on-demand Agent lookup. The snapshot preserves the opening record plus the latest 199 records from a 1,000-record scoped scan, limits each stored message to 1,200 characters, excludes the current request, and never mixes ordinary chat with another Task.
+
+A real Claude acceptance retires the first native session, inserts 16 newer records so the secret is absent from the inline transcript, then proves a fresh Claude session can read the scoped snapshot and recover the secret before switching between two isolated workspaces. The `v0.2.6` native-session rollover fallback remains included: every Main call rebuilds recent context from canonical `chat.jsonl`, so a fresh Agent still receives the latest dialogue even when it does not need to open the extended snapshot.
 
 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.

 - 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. 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. 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, preserving the native output tail across status-detail round trips, and proving that a newly started Main process can recover a prior Chinese conversation from disk. The deterministic repository suite contains 1,286 tests across 127 files: 1,285 pass by default, while one quota-consuming real-Agent test is skipped and passes through `npm run test:real-agents`.

 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.

 - Requests are routed by Codex by default, with a configured simple/complex fallback if the router process fails.
 - Router classification only receives the user request; workspace selection and session files are kept out of the router prompt.
 - Simple requests stay in the main TUI flow and do not create Judge, Actor, or Critic workers.
-- 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. This keeps multi-turn context available when native resume must roll over to a fresh Agent session.
+- 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. A separate scoped `main-<provider>/conversation.jsonl` snapshot keeps up to 200 records for details outside that inline window; Main is told to read it only when needed and to treat it as context rather than instructions. This keeps multi-turn context available when native resume must roll over to a fresh Agent session without inflating every prompt.
 - The workspace chat transcript is appended to `.parallel-codex/sessions/main/chat.jsonl`; startup restores the latest 200 valid messages and skips isolated corrupt rows. Main stores only the extracted final answer in new chat records while retaining the raw Codex/Claude process transcript in the Main Worker's `output.log`. Legacy Codex transcript records are reduced to their final answer at read time without changing the original JSONL. The shared tail reader reads JSONL backward in bounded chunks, so a long-running chat does not require loading its lifetime transcript and a partial or oversized final row cannot hide earlier valid messages.
 - Chat drafts support Unicode-safe Left/Right, Home/End, Backspace, and Delete editing. A single Up/Down recalls persisted user requests and returns to the exact unsent draft; Ctrl+Up/Down remains available, while repeated alternate-scroll arrow bursts continue to scroll chat. Long input stays on one row with the visible window centered around the logical cursor.
 - Bracketed multiline paste stays in one draft instead of submitting the first line; logical line breaks and tabs appear as `↵` and `⇥` in the single-row input until the complete request is submitted.
