OpenRig 0.7.7

OpenRig 0.7.7

OpenRig 0.7.7 is 0.7.6 with three reliability fixes for managed Claude seats: an
idle prompt under Claude's "Update installed" line is recognized again, managed
compaction no longer types into a message you haven't sent, and a Claude seat
launched through a wrapper script can be rebuilt again.

Before you upgrade

• Restart the daemon after installing so the fixes take effect:

  npm install -g @openrig/cli@0.7.7
  rig daemon stop && rig daemon start

  There are no database migrations. The bundled openrig-core plugin stays at
  0.1.23 with unchanged files.

Fixed

• A Claude seat under the "Update installed" line reads idle again. After
  Claude installs an update, it prints "✔ Update installed · /restart to apply"
  (or "Restart to apply") below its mode bar. OpenRig didn't recognize that line,
  so a seat at an empty prompt read unknown instead of idle, and managed
  compaction waited. Both spellings are now recognized; lines that only look
  similar still read unknown. (#2311)
• Managed compaction no longer types into a draft. With the optional typing
  guard off (the default), compaction's preparation prompt could be pasted onto
  a message someone had typed but not sent. Now the preparation prompt,
  /compact and the restore prompts check the input box first: typed or
  unreadable input holds the step with a reason. A held restore prompt goes ahead
  on its own once the box is empty; a manual rig compact says why it stopped,
  to be retried once the box is empty. An empty box or Claude's own suggestion
  goes ahead.
  (#2347)
• A Claude seat launched through a wrapper script can be rebuilt again. On
  0.7.6, rig seat handover --source rebuild on a seat whose claude is a #!
  script that starts the real Claude without exec stopped after 30 seconds with
  "Waiting to confirm the new Claude process in this pane", though the new Claude
  was running. The readiness check now also accepts the script's own direct child
  when it names this launch's conversation; every other check is unchanged.
  (#2341, #2354)
• A failed handover no longer moves the seat's resume target to the new,
  unprimed conversation while the seat keeps its previous occupant.
  (#2354)

Known limits

• The symlink-launch case reported in #2341 is not covered by the wrapper fix.
  When the running Claude's command names a symlink but OpenRig recorded the
  resolved binary, source inspection shows that readiness still rejects that
  combination. The exact reported launch sequence has not been reproduced, and
  why it retains the symlink path is still under investigation. This is not a
  failure of every native-installer launch.
• Other reasons managed compaction can wait are unchanged.
• The draft check reads the input box just before pasting. Typing that starts
  in the same moment can still be appended to.
• A Claude seat whose current occupant generation was never registered, such as
  an adopted Claude carrying another generation, or a managed launch whose tenure
  record failed to write, keeps its first conversation token, but later hooks don't
  move it.
• The 0.7.6 known limits still apply.

Thanks

• @oneandonlydean for the report and the evidence in #2341.
