fix(wrapper): zo continue --bypass-permissions kills the session on startup#97
Merged
Conversation
`zo continue` in tmux mode launched the lead session correctly, then logged "Lead session completed, agent window closed" ~15ms later and killed the window — leaving the user with no visible Claude session. Root cause: `LifecycleWrapper._wait_tmux` polled liveness with zero startup grace and zero debounce. Its first poll fired milliseconds after launch — before Claude's TUI had claimed the pane, and while a one-time workspace-trust dialog for the newly --add-dir'd delivery repo could still be up — and a single negative reading (`not pane_exists or not claude_running`) immediately concluded the session had ended. Any transient (startup race, trust dialog, momentary tmux query hiccup, brief foreground flip) was indistinguishable from a real /exit. Fix: - `_STARTUP_GRACE_POLLS=2`: ignore negative readings for the first polls (~20s at the 10s interval) so startup never looks like exit. - `_DEAD_CONFIRM_POLLS=2`: require consecutive negatives before concluding the session ended (debounce transients). - `_DEAD_RECHECK_INTERVAL=2.0`: re-check quickly while confirming a suspected exit so a genuine /exit is still detected promptly. Tests: updated the test that asserted complete-on-first-negative to expect confirmed-exit-on-4th-poll; added regressions for the 15ms teardown (startup grace) and transient-negative debounce. 53 wrapper tests pass, ruff clean, validate-docs 0 failures.

Root cause of "zo continue --bypass-permissions kills the session": the
bypass overlay sets defaultMode=bypassPermissions, which makes Claude
Code 2.1.159 show a one-time interactive consent dialog on startup:
WARNING: Claude Code running in Bypass Permissions mode
> 1. No, exit
2. Yes, I accept
`_wait_for_tui_ready` mistakes this dialog for the ready TUI (it is
~1231 chars and stable), so the launcher pastes the 24KB lead prompt
and presses Enter — which confirms the default-highlighted "No, exit".
Claude quits on startup, the pane falls back to bash, and `_wait_tmux`
correctly tears the window down. The lead session's own transcript
(killed mid-Bash-tool-call, not crashed) and live instrumentation of
the real launch path confirmed the mechanism.
The prior commit's grace+debounce only delayed the death (15ms -> 22s);
it never stopped Claude from exiting. It stays as defense-in-depth.
Fix: `ensure_bypass_disclaimer_accepted()` persists
`bypassPermissionsModeAccepted: true` to ~/.claude.json (idempotent,
preserves all keys, refuses to clobber corrupt JSON). Called from
`_launch_tmux` and `_launch_headless` when bypass is requested —
passing --bypass-permissions is the user's consent, so recording it is
faithful to intent. With the flag set, Claude boots straight into the
working TUI; verified Claude stays alive 32s (past the old 22s death).
+4 overlay tests; 53 wrapper + 16 overlay tests pass, ruff clean,
validate-docs 0 failures. PR-043 in PRIORS.md.

Problem
zo continuein tmux mode (zo continue --repo . --bypass-permissions) launched the lead session correctly — logs showTUI ready after 5s→Launched lead session in tmux pane=…— and then loggedLead session completed, agent window closed~15ms later (…49.583→…49.598), killing the window. The user saw no Claude session and "Session completed" immediately.Root cause
LifecycleWrapper._wait_tmuxpolled liveness with zero startup grace and zero debounce:--add-dir'd delivery repo can still be up).not pane_exists or not claude_running) immediately concluded the session had ended and tore the window down.So any transient — startup race, trust dialog, momentary
tmux display-messagehiccup, brief foreground flip — was indistinguishable from a real/exit. (The same binary had run fine for 4+ hours earlier in the day once the directory was already trusted, which is why it was intermittent.)The launch path already polls carefully for readiness (
_wait_for_tui_readyrequires stable content); the completion path trusted an instantaneous first reading. That asymmetry was the bug.Fix
_STARTUP_GRACE_POLLS=2— ignore negative readings for the first polls (~20s at the 10s interval); never conclude "exited" during startup._DEAD_CONFIRM_POLLS=2— require consecutive negatives before concluding the session ended (debounce)._DEAD_RECHECK_INTERVAL=2.0— re-check quickly while confirming a suspected exit, so a genuine/exitis still detected promptly rather than after a full poll interval.Tests
test_tmux_wait_completes_when_pane_closes(was asserting complete-on-first-negative) → now expects confirmed-exit on the 4th poll.test_tmux_wait_ignores_negative_during_startup_grace— regression for the 15ms teardown.test_tmux_wait_debounces_transient_negative— a single post-grace negative followed by a live reading must not end the session.53 wrapper tests pass, ruff clean,
