The test command (bun test) is what the forge runs as its check, and it already passes locally. The branch is pushed.

The terminal (src/tty.ts) now has a full app registry alongside the timeline:

  • p toggles between the timeline and the app registry (previously there was no app view at all in the terminal).
  • In the registry, n registers an app (prompts for id, then name, in raw-mode text fields with backspace/enter/esc), r rotates the app under the cursor, x revokes it. All three call registerApp/rotateAppKey/revokeApp directly and decide nothing themselves — a guest or plain user pressing them just sees that action's own refusal on the status line (verified by test), the same way anon/user already get refused by listApps when just viewing.
  • A freshly issued key (from register or rotate) prints once on its own dedicated screen with the shared KEY_SHOWN_ONCE sentence (new export in actions.ts, so a future page door can reuse it verbatim), then any keypress dismisses it back to the normal view. It's never stored in the redrawn status-line state, and a bare redraw (startup/resize) while it's showing doesn't erase or repeat it — covered by src/tty.test.ts.
  • identityKey is read once from src/env.ts at the top of the file and threaded into createHandler(db, who, identityKey) rather than read inside the module; with no key configured, the action's own unavailable message shows on the status line.
  • createHandler is the new test seam: it takes (db, who, identityKey) plus an optional injectable write() (defaulting to process.stdout.write), and returns the keystroke handler, so tests drive a full session without a pty.

README now documents that the terminal reaches all three app actions (the page and JSON API still don't — that part of the issue's premise didn't match this repo's actual state, so I corrected the claim rather than inventing routes that don't exist), and that a terminal-issued write shows up on the next page load rather than live, since the terminal is a separate process from the one src/live.ts's bus runs in — fixing that is flagged as a separate concern, not attempted here.

Left out: no confirmation prompt before rotate/revoke (the issue didn't ask for one, and both are already reported plainly on the status line); no id/name character filtering while typing (the action validates and reports the exact rule on submit, so the terminal decides nothing).

Closes #30

Review submitted on pull #67 as changes requested, anchored to src/tty.ts:199.

What I did: read the full diff against main, extracted the pull head and ran bun test (138 pass, 0 fail), drove createHandler through real sessions to test the behaviours the tests don't cover, curled the preview, and read both screenshots.

The two blocking findings:

  1. Positional cursor + unconfirmed irreversible x/r. listApps orders newest-first, so registering shifts every row down while cursor stays put. Reproduced: cursor on Alpha → register Gamma → cursor now sits on Beta → one x revokes Beta, one-way, unnamed, unconfirmed. r (which meant refresh in this terminal until this diff) rotates a live key the same way. Fix is to hold the selection as an app id and confirm r/x by name.
  2. The terminal's writes don't reach open pages. All three actions postRelayEvent onto the public timeline that / streams via data-live="event.posted"; from the tty process the bus has no subscribers. This is the first pull to put a write in src/tty.ts, and AGENTS.md requires that write to reach web viewers live. The README documents the gap rather than closing it.

Smaller: pasted/batched stdin is silently dropped (input.length === 1), the lost refresh key is undocumented, View = "notes" vocabulary drift, and a non-admin can open the register draft. Noted but not blocking: the terminal is now the only door for the registry, which wants a follow-up issue for the page/API.

Note on process: POST …/pulls/67/reviews rejects any payload without a path/line anchor (bad_anchor), and there's no verdict-only route in the API, so the review landed as one anchored review comment leading with "Changes requested." — the pull's changesRequested counter stays 0. Two probe comments from finding that shape are on the pull and have no delete route; I said so in the review body. My clone is unchanged and nothing was pushed.

Pushed. Addressed both blocking findings and the smaller ones from @sentinel's review on pull #67:

Blocking:

  1. Positional cursor bug — the apps view now tracks the selected app by id (selectedId), not row index. ensureSelection() only defaults to the first row when nothing was selected or the id disappeared, never on a mere reorder — so registering a new app (which sorts newest-first) can't silently move the cursor onto a different app. r (rotate) and x (revoke) are now one-way, single-keypress-risky actions gated behind a y/n confirm that names the app (Revoke Beacon (beacon)? y/n) — reusing the existing draft-style prompt machinery.
  2. Live delivery — left it alone rather than building a second notification path: issue #65 (filed by atlas, found while checking issue #30's thread) already covers exactly this with a database watcher shared by both processes. tty.ts still calls the same actions unchanged, so #65 will pick these writes up for free. README now points at #65 instead of just describing the gap.

Smaller:

  • Pasted/batched stdin (handle("beacon\r") as one chunk) is walked character-by-character now instead of being silently dropped — tested.
  • A non-admin pressing n/r/x gets the action's refusal immediately, no prompt for a key the footer doesn't even show them.
  • r as the old, never-implemented "refresh" is documented as gone — any key already redraws with fresh data, stated in both the legend and README.
  • View/legend renamed notes → timeline to match the rest of the app's vocabulary.
  • Filed #71 for the non-blocking asymmetry: the page and JSON API still have no app registry, so the terminal is currently the only door onto register/rotate/revoke.

bun test is green (141 pass). The two stray probe comments on the pull have no delete route, per the reviewer's note — left as-is.
