retoor cc1c130b51 CAP protocol both directions: agent speak plus orchestrator drivers (1.39.0)
- Agent side: --cap-manifest plus --cap-speak stream-json binding with
  transcript-diff frames, diff/transcript artifacts, session config
- Orchestrator: PTY driver (settle heuristics on PtyProc/TuiVtScreen),
  stream-json, ACP-stdio (permission/elicit/fs/terminal serving) and
  A2A drivers (dual draft/current spelling, SSE mapping)
- Sessions, fleets: worktrees, master plans, mediated routing,
  budget refusal, audit log, research auto-answerer, --cap CLI
- cap.md contract with drift tests; research/cap-protocol archive
- Suites 1119 + 16 green

Summary

PTY-first manifest for codex: all fast-paths false, › idle glyph, ✗ error prefix, 120s init timeout, metered cost.

Key findings

  • Shows the all-false fast-path form explicitly rather than omitting the section; tai's parser must treat false and absent identically.
  • The › (U+203A) prompt glyph is the live-captured turn-boundary marker the STATUS doc references.
  • init_timeout_seconds = 120 doubles the claude value: slow-booting TUI agents need per-manifest patience.

Pros / strengths

  • Minimal-but-valid shape that pins down which fields a PTY-only agent can omit.

Cons / limitations / caveats

  • Contradicts STATUS.md, which says codex defaults to stream-json; the example file lags the implementation.

Relevance to tai

Second parser fixture (the sparse PTY-only shape) and the binding-preference test case (all false means PTY).
