// Relay companion pill — a small floating, always-on-top Relay window that lists
// incoming Relay attention items + sent relays, and lazy-opens them in Claude Code / Codex.
//
// Motion principle: Windows/Linux use an ordinary native window that follows the
// visible card. macOS keeps one stable compositor surface to avoid AppKit's split
// origin/size presentation. In both cases the visible card remains focusable.
//
// Visibility: the card carries a ✕ that hides the overlay entirely (persisted). The Relay
// mark in the OS status area (macOS menu bar, Windows system tray) brings it back fully
// open. While dismissed, fresh relays still show the designed banner as a "ghost"
// notification — the window appears just for the banner, which fades away instead of
// folding back into a pill.
//
// Data:
// - Relay attention rows come from ${RELAY_HOME:-~/.relay-companion}/state.json under
// `state.packets` (staged by the companion daemon). Read it directly + fs.watch it.
// - Sent relays come live from RelayClient.sent(), refreshed on a timer and on demand.
// - Contacts come live from RelayClient.listContacts() / upsertContact().
// - Mutations (accept/reject/approve/decline/answer) call RelayClient with device-token
// auth. ack/mark-read writes state.json directly (atomic temp+rename).

// at turn end via Stop (decision:block wakes a new turn), or on the next prompt
// via UserPromptSubmit/SessionStart. Codex: the tiered flow in
// codex-open-current.cjs — live bridge submit into the current thread, else a
// near-now heartbeat automation, else the fresh-open flow. Both hosts share the
// SAME instruction builder: the model FETCHES the relay through the Relay MCP
// tools; the sender's content is never inlined (relay-briefing's
// untrusted-content discipline). A missing row or no live session/thread
// within 6h falls back to the fresh-open flow.
// How many messages (inbound rows + sent copies, deduped) share a thread.
// Gives the injected instruction its "N messages so far" and tells the model
// when fetching the whole thread is worth it.
// The staged injection file is consume-once: the claude-hook renames it away at
// the moment of delivery. Watching for its disappearance is therefore a REAL
// delivery signal, and the row note can tell the truth in realtime — "waiting
// for that chat's turn" versus "delivered". Field lesson (2026-08-05): an
// injection for an idle session sat invisible for minutes and the click read as
// completely dead; a waiting state that never lies beats a success toast.
//
// Nothing outside a session can make it take a turn (verified against the
// platform docs: deep links only pre-fill NEW sessions; no external submit API
// exists), so an idle chat cannot be woken — the honest waiting/delivered
// states are the truth until the Relay channel plugin (the platform's supported
// push-into-a-running-session mechanism) lands. The 0.1.82 grace hop — reclaim
// after 6s and open a fresh chat — is now OFF by default: the same-evening
