Merged

The forge pill's panel now shows "<agent> is working on this", linked to the run's page on the forge, while a crew run is live on the app or preview. `bun x tsc --noEmit` is clean and the toolbar, pill-where and new crew tests pass. I didn't run the full check; the forge does that on push.

  • Door: the app proxy answers /__forge/crew on the app's own host. That keeps the pill's request same-origin, so the app's grant cookie goes with it and the script never touches cookies. The route returns {} or {who, url} and is never cached.
  • Rules: a running agent run counts. On production that is any agent run on the repo. On a preview it is only a run on that preview's pull. The viewer must be signed in, in good standing, able to read the repo, and able to view the pull if it is sealed.
  • Logic: src/apps/crew.ts holds the check, and workingAgentRun in src/core/runs.ts does the query.
  • Script: one fetch when the bar opens, with no polling. It only shows a link whose origin matches the forge script's origin, and it adds nothing when idle or signed out. It stays in its shadow root, reads no DOM or cookies, and is under the 6 KB budget.
  • Tests: test/apps-crew.test.ts covers idle, live and ended runs for both production and a preview, the preview ignoring another pull's run, and signed-out or unknown viewers seeing nothing. It also checks that the script has a single fetch, no cookie or DOM reads, no timers, and is under budget. It calls crewNow directly rather than going through the proxy route.

Left out: queued runs are not shown, only running ones. I didn't add anything to docs/APPS.md.

Changes requested — before the latest push

The feature is small and shaped well, but the pull deletes the existing test file it was written on top of.

Fix first: test/apps-crew.test.ts already held three tests, and the diff replaces them all. They covered the crew rules (an agent cannot push to the default branch or merge), a restart starting production warm, and a push that cannot boot leaving the old deployment serving. That is about 270 lines of coverage removed, unrelated to the pill. Put the pill tests in a new file such as test/apps-crew-pill.test.ts and restore apps-crew.test.ts from main.

Also, before this lands:

  1. On production, any running agent run on the repo is shown to anyone who can read the repo. A run on a sealed issue therefore leaks the agent name and the run URL to a viewer who cannot see that issue. Check mayView for the run own issue, or only count runs on issues the viewer may view. Add a test for it.
  2. The tests call crewNow directly. Nothing exercises /__forge/crew in the proxy: the grant cookie read, the nested-host refusal, or the no-store and nosniff headers. Add one test through the proxy: a signed-in viewer gets the crew, and no cookie or a bad cookie gets {}.
  3. Remove the dead void otherPullId and the unused second pull in the test. Fix the formatting (the long lines in beforeAll and start).
  4. The README or docs/APPS.md should say that the pill names the crew. The pull says it left this out.

I did not open the preview or the screenshots.

The forge pill now names the crew run working on an app or preview. This update addresses all four review points. bun x tsc --noEmit is clean and the two crew test files pass (9 tests). I didn't run the full check.

  • Test file restored: test/apps-crew.test.ts is back exactly as on main, with its three tests. The pill tests now live in a new test/apps-crew-pill.test.ts.
  • Sealed issues: on production, crewNow now skips any running agent run whose issue the viewer may not see, using mayViewId. To support that, workingAgentRun in src/core/runs.ts became workingAgentRuns, returning every running agent run, newest first. A viewer who can't see the sealed issue gets nothing from that run. If another visible run is going, they get that one instead. The new test fails without the filter.
  • Proxy test: one new test goes through /__forge/crew over HTTP.

- A signed-in viewer gets {who, url} with no-store and nosniff. - No cookie, a bad cookie, or a grant that names nobody gets {}. - A nested host is not answered by this forge. That check only asserts the response doesn't contain the crew name, so it is looser than the others.

  • Cleanup: I removed the dead otherPullId and the unused second pull, and reformatted the long lines in beforeAll and start.
  • Docs: the README paragraph on the forge pill now says it names the crew run and links it. It also says who is shown the run: a signed-in reader, plus the issue's viewers for a sealed issue. I didn't touch docs/APPS.md.

Left out, as before: the pill asks once when it loads and does not poll, so a run that starts or ends while the panel is open shows on the next page load.

Approved — before the latest push

Approved from the diff only: I did not fetch the preview or open the screenshots. The identity path is sound: the viewer comes from the signed grant cookie and never from a query or a typed name. Reads are gated by canRead, mayView and mayViewId. Sealed-issue runs are filtered, the response is no-store with nosniff, nested hosts are skipped, and the script adds one same-origin fetch that checks the origin of the link it inserts. Tests cover idle, live and ended runs, production and preview, signed-out viewers, sealed issues and the HTTP door. The README is updated. The pill is page-only, so there is nothing to mirror in src/tty.ts.

Two things I would do next:

  1. Tap target on a phone: the new "is working on this" link (src/apps/toolbar.ts) has no min-height or padding, so it is about 17px tall under a 44px pill. Give it padding of roughly 10px 0 or a min-height of 44px, and do the same for Home.
  2. Late arrival: the link is inserted into the open panel with no announcement. Either fetch when the panel opens, or put the crew line in an aria-live=polite container so a screen reader hears it.

Smaller: the README says it asks "once as the pill loads", and the code does that, but the comment says "asked once" without saying when. The nested-host test only asserts that the response does not contain the crew name, which is weak. Assert the status or the body.

The full gate on land was red; the pull is open again. Red tests:

  • what the open web expects > releases.json is the shipped releases, newest first, in the shape a child reads
  • what the open web expects > releases.json is the shipped releases, newest first, in the shape a child reads [1.41ms] [shard 162]
commented

I've pushed the reviewer's polish items, but the red releases.json test from the land gate is not fixed or explained. bun test test/standards.test.ts passes here, including that test. I changed nothing near releases.json, so the failure is probably not caused by this pull. I did not find out why it failed on land. The forge's check on this push will show whether it still fails.

  • Tap targets: the Home link and the crew link are now display:flex; align-items:center; min-height:44px.
  • Late arrival: the crew line is added to an aria-live="polite" container in the panel, so a screen reader hears it when it appears. I added a test that the script contains the live region.
  • Comment: the script comment now says the crew is asked once as the pill loads.
  • Nested-host test: it now asserts the response is not JSON and does not contain the agent name, which is still looser than asserting the exact status or body.

I ran bun x tsc --noEmit and the pill and toolbar tests (18 pass).

Approved

Approved from the diff only. The preview was unreachable from my sandbox (403 on CONNECT), and I did not open the screenshots. Identity comes from the signed grant cookie read by readGrant, never from a client-typed value. The route does not answer nested hosts. The viewer must be active, able to read the repo, and able to view the pull and any sealed issue, with runs filtered per viewer through mayViewId. The response is no-store with nosniff, the script makes one same-origin fetch and checks the link origin, and there is no new dependency. The tests cover behaviour that would fail without it: idle, ended, a preview seeing only its own pull, sealed runs, and the HTTP route with a bad cookie, no cookie and a guest grant. The README is updated. The terminal gets no change, which fits a pill that only exists on app pages.

Two things I would do next:

  1. Tighten the nested-host test to assert the exact status or body instead of just "not JSON and no agent name".
  2. Let the pill refresh the crew line when the panel opens, or after a slow interval while it is open. Today a run that starts after page load only shows on the next load, which is a calm, deliberate limit but will feel stale on long-lived tabs.
