v0.9.1 planning: canonical operator-control issue map from comparative deep dive

[Hmbown]

Purpose

Canonical routing map for the operator-control patterns identified in the July 16 comparative deep dive. This is a planning/cutline tracker, not a mega implementation issue.

It is assigned to v0.9.1 because the audit and release cutline happened here. Each implementation issue retains the milestone that best fits its actual size and subsystem.

Existing implementation that should be extended, not rebuilt

• Plan confirmation already scrolls and the Plan gate is multi-layered.
• Agent detail/transcript handles and personas through AgentProfile already exist.
• Ctrl+B backgrounding, /jobs, durable tasks, and AutomationManager tools already exist.
• /context report|json|summary already exposes prompt-source accounting.
• Mid-turn steering and queued-input preview already exist; Pending inputs not consumed until all todos complete in Agent mode — no mid-turn intervention granularity #874 owns the remaining promotion gap.
• Prompt suggestions, terminal notifications, prompt-history search, searchable help, and a history-first session picker already exist; v0.9.2 Attention UX: focus-aware notifications, action-required title state, and return recap #4402/v0.9.2 Composer: finish prefix-aware prompt suggestions and provider-safe routing #4404/ux(tui/help): /help and the help overlay don't know user-defined commands or skills #3912/feat: sidebar sessions panel with auto-resume and session history browsing #2934 refine their contracts instead of rebuilding them.
• Side-git /restore remains the safe file primitive.
• Fleet, Workflow, Lane, Runtime, and AgentProfile keep the vocabulary in v0.9.2 architecture: Fleet / Workflow / Lane / Runtime product model (canonical tracker) #4175.

Community PR placement completed

PR	Target	Canonical context
#3781 OpenCode Zen provider	v0.9.3	#1481
#4086 TormentNexus extension	v0.9.3	#4399, #3916, #3917

#4383 Windows killed-shell cleanup	v0.9.1	platform/runtime reliability
#4384 OHOS workflow-js bindgen	v0.9.1	#2970

All open PRs now have a milestone. The audit found no open community-authored issue without a milestone.

Duplicate cleanup

The first-pass aggregates #4391, #4392, #4393, #4395, and #4396 were closed as duplicates after their acceptance details were added to the canonical issues above. They were removed from release milestones and version labels.

Guardrails

• Do not create another worker substrate beside Fleet/Runtime.
• Do not merge visible work mode, approval policy, execution scheduling, and sandbox profile into one ambiguous knob.
• Do not add a second in-tree memory backend beside the Moraine direction.
• Do not auto-enable or trust project plugins.
• Do not make whole-workspace rollback the only hunk-review primitive.
• Do not regress multi-provider routing, constitution/repo law, recursive agent depth, local-first storage, or prefix-cache discipline.

Done when

• Every deep-dive item has exactly one canonical implementation owner.
• Cross-links and milestones remain consistent when work moves.
• New PRs reference the canonical issue and inherit its milestone/version label.
• Completed work updates this map instead of spawning overlapping issues.

Grok Build UX audit board: https://www.figma.com/board/ysnt3YhelYOV3Cu4cfa3Rc

The board contains the seven accepted PTY screenshots, step findings, accessibility evidence limits, and the CW implementation map for #4402, #4403, #4404, #2934, #3937, #4397, #874, #3480, and #3912.

v0.9.1 planning cutline complete. The comparative deep-dive items now have canonical owners, community PRs have explicit milestones, and duplicate aggregates were consolidated. Final carryover corrections: #4390 and #4394 move to v0.9.4, #3192 moves to v0.9.3, and the release-safe partials retain their owning issues. Closing this tracker as the completed planning artifact; implementation issues remain open in their target milestones.

Closing this completed planning/cutline tracker as its own final checklist and prior maintainer note specify. No implementation issue is being deleted or bulk-closed; each canonical work item remains in its own milestone.
