Problem

Desktop previews retained Playwright focus emulation after their thread was hidden, so their timers continued at about 20 Hz. Switching to another thread with Browser closed left those native guests running at their visible rate.

Change

Scope focus emulation to pending browser commands, used tabs during active agent turns, and live screencast sessions. Release each hold when its owner ends. Temporarily use the existing rendering activity path while a hidden screenshot or stream needs pixels, then return the guest offscreen. Preserve the server-tab identity during navigation so capture activity reaches the correct guest.

Scope and approval

Fixes https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/15579 GitCafe: https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/15579

Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. No new setting or persisted state.

Verification

Focused desktop preview tests passed (210), server browser/run-execution tests passed (77), and web preview bridge/surface/state tests passed (20). After the final navigation identity fix, Manager and DesktopBrowserHost tests passed again (79). Scoped typechecks, lint, formatting and diff whitespace checks passed.

Native Linux/X11, Electron 44.9.3: clean initial hidden fixtures measured about 20 Hz on main and 1 Hz on the candidate. A real agent snapshot after URL-bar navigation returned fresh nonblank pixels while another thread's composer retained focus and its text. More than 30 seconds after capture, the guest measured below 1 Hz.

Evidence: full native report, recordings and frame index, reproduction drivers, seed and raw measurements.

Timing proof is in the before recording and after recording. The candidate recording starts at 08:17:11 UTC; input/pause/resume starts at 08:30:30, recording/viewer overlap at 08:32:42, and the untouched-control quiet sample at 08:37:42. The stills index the native surface; they do not establish timer cadence. Their visible differences are sidebar ages and caret.

Authenticated viewer frames advanced, and both a normal close and an abrupt renderer exit returned the candidate guest to approximately 1 Hz after 31 seconds; baseline remained approximately 20 Hz. The final post-capture comparison measured A at 0.99988 Hz and untouched E at 0.58326 Hz. A real agent input/select, a 20-second browser-command-free shell pause, resume, hidden navigation and reopen retained the entered value. The shell pause is not a measurement of model thinking.

The evidence pack is partial: successful remote viewer input, native recording/PiP permutations, real cancellation/overlap, and backend restart/destruction remain unverified. API recording produced a playable video, but the surviving viewer stopped advancing after recording ended; a matched baseline investigation also reproduced recording-stop freezing a viewer with the native tab visible. Baseline hidden recording timed out or froze before stop, so exact hidden overlap parity remains unverified. Baseline stop recording and drivers/logs. Observer-contaminated B/D samples and fixture-reset samples are excluded and retained in the raw report. Initial external Playwright observations were also excluded because the observer itself enabled guest focus. External native recording was 8 fps and cannot exclude sub-frame flashes.

GNOME/Wayland and macOS are unverified. Timer measurements establish cadence, not CPU or memory savings.

A queued screenshot from a detached viewer still starts and can leave the guest focused and painting indefinitely if the capture never settles. takeScreenshot checks only whether the relay is still current, so dropSessionHolds cannot invalidate that queued callback; invalidate queued work for the detached owner or check its lifetime before starting the hold.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This PR introduces broad production changes to preview focus, rendering, CDP session handling, and agent-turn orchestration rather than a narrowly contained fix. A queued screenshot from a detached viewer can still start and potentially leave the guest focused and painting indefinitely if capture never settles.

Walkthrough

The change tracks agent-turn activity across the server and desktop, coordinates preview focus and painting with commands and screencasts, and exposes pending capture state through the manager and web preview bridge.

Changes: Preview activity and capture lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track agent-turn activity `apps/server/src/preview/PreviewAgentActivity.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RunExecutionService.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/ProviderReplayHarness.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RunExecutionService.test.ts`	A new service tracks overlapping active turns per thread. Run execution ends preview activity when the root and driven child turns settle, or when the consumer exits.
Forward turn state to desktop `packages/contracts/src/desktopBrowser.ts`, `apps/server/src/preview/DesktopBrowserChannel.ts`, `apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.ts`, `apps/server/src/server.ts`, `apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.test.ts`	The server forwards thread activity transitions to the desktop through a new `turn` command.
Coordinate desktop focus and painting `apps/desktop/src/preview/CdpRelay.ts`, `apps/desktop/src/preview/DesktopBrowserHost.ts`, `apps/desktop/src/preview/CdpRelay.test.ts`, `apps/desktop/src/preview/DesktopBrowserHost.test.ts`	The relay passes session ownership and handles focus-emulation requests. The host tracks focus holds and painting requirements for commands and screencasts, and clears them on lifecycle events.
Expose capture state to the preview bridge `packages/contracts/src/ipc.ts`, `apps/desktop/src/preview/Manager.ts`, `apps/desktop/src/preview/Manager.test.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/preview/usePreviewBridge.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/preview/usePreviewBridge.test.ts`	The manager maps painting events to the tab’s `capturing` state. The web bridge acquires or releases browser-surface activity based on that state.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed changes support the cadence fix for hidden preview tabs in #15579. Each area maps to that goal. CdpRelay.ts and DesktopBrowserHost.ts add owner-scoped focus emulation holds, a no-op for guest focus emulation, painting state for hidden captures, and cleanup on navigation, detach, and relay release. PreviewAgentActivity.ts, RunExecutionService.ts, runtimeLayer.ts, ProviderReplayHarness.ts, DesktopBrowserChannel.ts, ServerBrowser.ts, and server.ts pass agent-turn state from the server to the desktop host, so focus holds apply to tabs used during active turns. contracts desktopBrowser.ts and ipc.ts add the turn command and the capturing field needed by that path. Manager.ts and usePreviewBridge.ts use capturing state to keep the browser surface active during screenshots or streams. Manager.ts also preserves serverTab across navigation, which the PR states is needed to route capture activity to the correct guest. Test changes cover these paths. No unrelated feature, setting, or persisted state appears in the reviewed changes. The PR description reports no new setting or persisted state.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #15579 has two expected-behavior requirements. (1) Hidden preview tabs in unselected threads should be throttled, frozen, or discarded. The PR meets this part. Focus emulation is now held only for pending browser commands, used tabs during active agent turns, and live screencasts. Holds are released on owner end, and the native measurements report about 1 Hz for hidden guests versus about 20 Hz on baseline. (2) Previews should also be closed eventually, for example when the thread is idle, archived, or deleted, and should not keep a full renderer running for the rest of the session. The PR does not implement this. The PR summary states it does not describe eventual closure. The diff of apps/desktop/src/preview/Manager.ts adds only the capturing flag, serverTab preservation on navigation, and browser-host listeners. No idle, archive, or delete close path appears in the reviewed changes. The guests remain running at about 1 Hz for the session. The PR also uses the Fixes link for #15579, which would close the issue without this requirement met. Requirement (1) is satisfied; requirement (2) is an explicit, unmet coding requirement.

Resolution

Implement eventual closure or discard of hidden preview tabs that the user cannot see. Cover at least the idle, archived, and deleted thread cases named in #15579. Add automated tests for each case. Alternatively, narrow the linked-issue scope with the issue owner so that the PR does not claim full resolution of #15579. Adjust the Fixes reference to match the scope that is actually delivered.

Preserve tab usage when replaying an active turn.

When the desktop re-announces tabs, dropRelay clears tab.agentUsed. Replaying active: true restores only agentTurns. After pending work settles, releaseFocusWhenIdle releases focus because it requires both tab.agentUsed and agentTurns. A later agent input can set agentUsed, but focus can expire during the active turn's pause before that input arrives.

Preserve agentUsed during re-announcement, replay the active state, and re-enable focus for preserved tabs when the replayed turn arrives.

Key the effect to primitive thread identifiers.

stableThreadRef is a new object on every render. Its dependency change runs the effect cleanup and releases the current capture activity. Acquiring that activity updates activityByTabId, which the host component observes and can cause the render that triggers this cleanup. The replacement effect does not replay capturing: true, so the hidden guest can stop painting while capture is pending.
