The lane boots the host spine through the shared scaffold, so it belongs to
tsconfig.host.json and must stay out of the client-registered apps/web project
— one program cannot hold both sides of the cordis Context merges.
The Web composer now renders a request that declares the `plan-review` intent
as its own surface: the waiting-approval card language — amber "Plan review"
strip, the plan as the scrolling markdown body, the question as the card's
accessible name — over one decision row of Chat about it / Refuse / Approve.
Gone from that surface are the 1/1 pager, the numbered radio rows, the custom
answer row, and Skip/Submit, which made approving a plan read as sitting an
exam.
Approve and Refuse answer with the asker's own option labels and keep its
descriptions as tooltips; Chat about it cancels the request so the composer
returns and the user can simply say what they want. Copy is bilingual under the
existing `question` namespace.
The shape choice lives inside the single composer entry rather than a second
chain registration, so the two surfaces cannot race the same carrier, and
`planReviewOf` falls back to the generic flow for any request it cannot render
as a card — the client sits downstream of a wire boundary and every request
must stay answerable.
Review follow-ups on the approval takeover:
The scroll region is now a tab stop (tabIndex + named role="group"). The
question composer's scroll body needs none — its option rows are focusable and
pull the container along — but this one holds nothing but text, so a
keyboard-only user could reach the buttons and never the command's tail, and
approve what they could not finish reading.
The action row's padding reproduces the 14px gap it had inside the body: the
flex gap of 6 plus its 8px top margin, neither of which reaches it now that the
row sits outside the scroll region. The resting card is unchanged again.
The answered-transcript golden captured the OS's own refusal of the denied
first attempt — "bash: notes.txt: Operation not permitted" on macOS against
"bash: line 1: notes.txt: Read-only file system" on Linux — so it passed
locally and failed the Linux snapshot lane.
The scenario now keeps one golden (the waiting panel, platform-neutral) and
asserts the answered state on the world instead: the decided outcome, the file
the escalated command actually wrote, DONE, the panel gone, and the composer
re-enabled. The file assertion is stronger evidence than the transcript dump
it replaces — it proves the grant reached the executor.
The approval panel replaces the InputBar while a sandbox escalation waits,
and its justification and command are unbounded model text. With no height
cap, a long command grew the card until the refuse/allow row went under the
fold: at 900x700 the action row's bottom landed at y=749, so the user could
read the request and not answer it.
Justification and command now scroll in one region capped at the same height
as the composer's draft area, with the amber strip and the action row outside
it. The cap is one value with two consumers — declared as
--dsh-composer-text-max-height on ConversationRoot's .composerSeat, the
composer chain's only shared ancestor — so the seat cannot cap its two states
differently. The card rebinds the l2 scrollbar pair like every other scrolling
surface on an elevated background.
Covered by a new web e2e scenario that drives the real composition (read-only
session, denied write, the model's escalation retry, answer clicked through
the panel) and measures the live panel at two viewport heights against the
composer's own cap, read off the textarea rather than hardcoded.
The workspace header row is now wrapped by its HoverCard anchor span
(0b4a6196f), so the row's immediate parent no longer holds the session
subtree; the delete scenario anchors on the groupSection ancestor
instead. The flat-view and dwell failures were downstream of this one
(shared page state).
