Claude startup screens could receive prompt text before a live input composer existed. Prompt admission now requires live composer evidence for Claude and Codex, with optional strict:true / --strict for other agents. The default fallback for other agents is preserved.

Readiness follows the current agent and integration reports. Visible multiline Claude composers, including typed divider lines, are supported without a 16-row limit. CLI, UHP fixtures, documentation, and regression tests are updated.

Addresses the prompt-admission proposal in #425.

Validation: the full locked suite passed 2,098 unit tests and 16 integration tests (5 existing tests ignored) before the divider follow-up. That follow-up passed all 14 Claude-related tests, formatting, and strict Clippy. Claude theme-picker rejection is covered by a fixture; the earlier isolated live launch verified normal composer detection.

Retrigger

No outstanding findings block merging.

Summary

This PR requires live composer evidence before submitting prompts to Claude and Codex, adds optional strict admission for other agents, and updates the CLI, UHP fixtures, documentation, and regression tests. The latest change clears Claude readiness for URL elicitation dialogs.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a --strict option to agent prompt and agent send. In strict mode, prompts are submitted only when a live input area is confirmed; agents without a readiness detector are rejected.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Claude and Codex prompts now require confirmation of a live input area. Detected blocked screens are rejected before prompt text or Enter is queued.
    • Agent status alone no longer determines prompt readiness; an unknown status does not invalidate a matching agent identity.
  • Documentation
    • Updated CLI and API guidance to explain readiness checks, strict mode, and the default fallback for other agents.

Walkthrough

Prompt admission now uses live-composer evidence for Claude and Codex. The strict option requires positive readiness evidence for any agent. Detected blocked evidence still prevents input from being queued.

Changes

Prompt admission

Layer / File(s) Summary
Composer evidence detection
src/detect.rs, src/terminal/vt/*
Claude composer inspection returns absent, ready, or ambiguous evidence. Unblocked screens remain Unknown unless positive evidence establishes readiness.
Runtime prompt evidence
src/app/dispatch/runtime.rs, src/app/dispatch/agents.rs, src/app/dispatch/topology.rs, src/app/mod.rs, src/agent/claude/integration.rs, src/integration.rs
Runtime detection applies composer readiness to the resolved agent. Claude hook events update semantic readiness and trigger detection. Integration reports and resize-grace handling update prompt evidence.
Strict prompt admission
src/app/dispatch/agent_workflow.rs, src/app/dispatch/agents.rs, src/app/dispatch/tests/*, src/app/mod.rs, src/app/commander_tests.rs, src/commander/app.rs
Prompt readiness validates strict mode and checks blocked and composer evidence. Tests cover strict Gemini requests, report states, Claude composer readiness, and input submission.
Strict option and readiness guidance
src/cli.rs, protocol/uhp/v1/*, skills/luvus/*, plugins/luvus/skills/luvus/*, website/public/agent-readme.md, website/src/content/docs/docs/*
The CLI accepts --strict. The UHP schema, fixture, skills, and website docs describe strict-mode behavior. Agent-start guidance distinguishes recognized identity states from prompt readiness.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ae8fc

Automated prompts can be rejected after Claude becomes idle even though its composer is usable. Preserve readiness for idle notifications before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ae8fc

The new safeguard reduces early sends, but an ambiguous input screen can still be accepted based on an earlier notification that is not tied to the current state. The identified exposure is limited to local sessions belonging to the same account.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Claude lifecycle readiness is neither session-bound nor ordered. A late or caller-supplied Stop can make an ambiguous, potentially stale composer screen pass strict prompt admission until a clearing event arrives.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified path affects prompt timing in an existing agent pane accessible through the local account's API, not an established remote or cross-account entrypoint. Existing raw-key submission also means this is not a demonstrated new privilege to write to that pane.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A local API caller can supply agent=claude and kind=Stop for an existing pane. If its screen has ambiguous rail geometry, the resulting flag can satisfy strict readiness without proving that the displayed input region belongs to the current turn. Actual stale-event delivery and exploitation were not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Peer validation constrains access to the local API, but the event handler checks pane existence rather than binding a reported lifecycle event to the pane's current agent or session.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — A delayed Stop after a clearing event can restore semantic readiness because updates are last-write-wins. Missing clearing hooks can likewise leave the flag set; absent geometry, blocked evidence, and later non-Claude identity reconciliation limit the effect.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bind lifecycle evidence to the current pane session and order or expire it before allowing it to resolve ambiguous geometry; verify behavior with missing and reordered hooks during an upgrade.

refresh or invalidate prompt_evidence, force_detect, and last_detect_generation
whenever the pane’s report state changes, before prompt admission runs. Ensure
agent_prompt_is_ready and agent.send use evidence consistent with the current
report state, including transitions to Blocked and back to idle.
- Around line 488-495: Update the readiness logic in the dispatch workflow to
use the resolved current agent consistently for both agent selection and
positive-evidence requirements; do not let a stale agent_session override
runtime detection when status.agent changes. Ensure a non-strict Gemini send
does not inherit Claude’s readiness requirement.

17268-17268: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add app-level coverage for divider-adjacent cursor positions.

A typed divider inside the live composer is valid when the cursor remains on the divider with a blank row after it, and when the cursor moves directly to the next row. Add both geometries to this test, keep the closing rail below the cursor, and assert readiness in strict and non-strict modes through both prompt APIs.

The lower-level detector test already covers the direct-after-divider case. It does not cover the cursor-on-divider case or the app-level admission path.

Claude-specific completion signal or other semantic state instead of
visible-text heuristics. Preserve the stale-composer regression and cover live
input with a full-width divider immediately after the prompt and later input
