mark as unread: make an idle agent done again, to come back to it

2026-10-27T12:12:28+00:00

like "mark as unread" in mail: an agent you have seen (idle) becomes done again, last among done agents of its importance, with no sound or notification. it stays done until you come back to it: leave its tmux window and return, or jump to it. marked while you look at it, it holds until you look away (`held`); a new turn clears it. only idle agents can be marked. - daemon: `pane.mark_unread` on the hook socket; the watcher applies it after the tick's observations (mark_unread, advance's hold rule). - `dingger unread [--pane]`: refuses done, working, blocked, and panes without an agent; returns once the agent shows as done. - pi: /unread (refused while the agent works or is blocked). - panel: right-click an idle agent in the full list, "Mark as unread". - search: ⌘U or right-click marks the selected idle agent; the footer offers ⌘U when it applies; search stays open. tests: unit (hold, jump, new turn, idle only), e2e step 22 (queue position, hold, look away and back, jump, refusals, no sound, menu, the extension), pi-live in real pi 1.4 (a mark, not a turn: an unknown command would also end done), swift selftest (menu only for idle, footer).

importance: mark an agent high, normal, or low

2026-10-26T14:32:18+00:00

within a status, more important agents are listed first, and so jumped to first; status stays first. a high agent shows a bold ! before its name, a low agent's name is lightly dimmed with "low" on its second line, and it makes no sound (it still notifies and waits in line). in pi, /importance high|normal|low (completes the levels; none once one is typed out, so Enter runs it). the extension saves it in the session as a custom entry (dingger-importance), so /reload, restarts, /resume and restore bring it back; /new starts at normal. it shows a level other than normal in pi's footer, emits dingger:importance { level } for other extensions, and sends it with every report. for other agents, `dingger importance [level] [--pane]`; it refuses a pi that reports itself, whose saved level would win. the daemon stays the one writer of pane state: it writes @dingger_importance (unset for normal), which goes with the agent and survives a daemon restart. `dingger status` marks high and low. tests: e2e step 21 (order, the option, no sound for low, the menu bar, the command, the extension through a harness that now matches pi's extension API), a DINGGER_SOUND seam so sounds are observable, and a status-line check that read the counts once (flaky) now polls. pi-live: /importance in real pi 1.4, its footer and session entry, and the level after a restore; every pi there now uses the test's agent directory (a restored pi read the user's). negative controls fail each part.

session groups: list each pane once, save each group once

2026-10-23T15:45:06+00:00

a pane in several sessions (a session group, `new-session -t`, or a linked window) was listed once per session: every agent of a group showed twice in the menu, panel, search, `dingger status`, and the counts. and snapshots saved each session of a group with its own copy of the windows, so restore would have rebuilt them twice and resumed each agent twice on one session file. - a pane keeps its first listing (tmux lists sessions by name) and is attended if the user looks at it through any session of the group. - snapshots keep the first session of each group; the others are not restored. e2e step 19 covers both; the previous binaries fail it. two checks (step 11's and this one) waited for idle after a turn that started from idle, which passed before the turn was even processed: they now wait for working first, and the negative control for group attendance fails as it should. step 18 now waits for the snapshot it later restores from.

list working and idle agents most recent first

2026-10-23T14:58:24+00:00

within a status, the menu, panel, search, and `dingger status` listed done and blocked agents oldest first (the queue), and the rest by place. now working and idle agents are most recent first: the first idle row is the agent that finished, or that the user looked at, last. @dingger_since now means when the pane entered its current status, for every status (it was set only while the pane needed the user), and survives a daemon restart. the queue selects done and blocked panes by status, no longer by having a stamp. one ordering rule each in Rust (watcher::list_order) and Swift (listedBefore), with tests that fail on the old order; e2e step 11 makes an agent finish while watched and checks it moves to the top of the idle rows. agents idle since before this change share one stamp and keep their place order until they next change.

restore Claude Code agents in their own sessions

2026-10-23T12:08:53+00:00

`dingger install claude` adds a SessionStart hook to Claude's settings (every other key and hook kept, in order; the original backed up; written through a symlink; installing again changes nothing). The hook is `dingger hook claude`: it reports the session's transcript for its tmux pane, prints nothing (Claude adds SessionStart output to the conversation) and always exits 0. Claude's state still comes from its screen. restore types `claude --resume ` in the directory the session ran in (elsewhere, Claude moves the conversation there). it resumes an agent only when its session file exists: a Claude session that never got a message has no transcript, and `--resume` fails ("No conversation found"). the snapshot now keeps an agent's command line too, so such a pane gets it retyped instead of nothing. - the hook receiver takes a report without a state: only the session. - a report that arrives after the watcher listed the panes is not dropped as "agent gone": Claude reports once, as it starts. - serde_json preserve_order (indexmap is already a dependency, via toml). e2e step 18: install against a settings file like a real one, a fake claude running the exact installed hook command, resume by id, retype without a transcript, the resumed agent reporting again. a server that restore starts now gets the test's plain shells: it got the user's login shell, whose profile put the real claude first, which started (stuck at its trust dialog) during development. every test restore now checks that no real pi or claude runs in a test pane.

write a pane's options in one tmux command list

2026-10-23T11:07:15+00:00

the watcher wrote @agent_state, then @dingger_hook, as separate tmux calls. a daemon stopped between them left a done display state next to a stale "working" hook state, which the restarted daemon trusted: the agent came back as working. now every changed option of a pane is one command list, which tmux applies as a unit (and one process instead of several). tests/kill-race.sh kills the daemon the instant an agent shows done: 24 of 40 kills left the options inconsistent before, 0 of 40 now. e2e step 17 runs it 20 times; the previous binary fails it.
