Fix terminal lifecycle, agent status, dock layout, and remote input ordering

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -18,10 +18,12 @@ All notable changes to Pane will be documented in this file.
 ### Changed
 - Custom-command keyboard shortcuts moved from `mod+alt+5..9` to `mod+alt+6..9` to make room for the Cursor slot.
 - Cursor Agent is now available inside WSL repositories.
+- Repository main panes now show the default shell in the bottom dock. The dock defaults to expanded in both main and worktree panes, while preserving saved collapse preferences.
 - `runpane watch` defaults are unchanged and stay responsive: no settle, no batching, all event kinds, IDLE every 10 minutes, HEARTBEAT every 60 seconds under `--follow`.
 - The Pane Chat orchestrator's Liveness Contract now arms the cadence flags above, filters HEARTBEAT out of its monitor, and judges a dead watch by a non-zero exit or a `WATCH ERROR` line rather than by silence.
 
 ### Fixed
+- Agent terminals remain in working tabs after deleting the default shell and switching panes. Closing the dock also repairs tab selection when another shell takes its place.
 - Pane Chat has its skills again. Pane synced its agents' skills from the skills repository, which moved them on 2026-08-13; every sync since then failed, and new installs had none. Pane now ships 37 skills: Agent Farm's current raw-profile skills and their helpers, general-purpose primitives such as `verify-app`, `options`, `brief`, and `orchestrate-sessions`, and three Pane-specific ones (`pane-orchestrator`, `runpane`, `pane-work`). It also installs four helper subagents (explorer, cold-reader, qa-and-verify, reviewer) for Claude and Codex Sessions. The skill sync is removed, and Pane deletes its old sync folders.
 - `runpane panels submit` now submits prompts to Claude panes instead of leaving them in the composer. Pane waits for Claude's composer, types the prompt, and presses Enter separately once the text shows, so a pane created with `--wait-ready` and submitted to right away starts the turn. `verifiedSubmitted` is true only when Claude's composer is seen empty afterwards.
 - `runpane panels screen` reports `composer.hasUndeliveredText` for Claude panes. It used to read false for every Claude pane, even with a prompt sitting in the composer. Claude's dim placeholder suggestion does not count.

+## Terminal Input
+
+Desktop and browser clients send at most one terminal input request per panel at a time. Keys typed while a request is pending are combined into the next request, preserving their order without a separate round trip for every buffered key. A bare Escape always ends a combined request, because terminal apps read Escape followed by another key in the same write as an Alt shortcut. Different panels and other remote commands remain independent.
+
+Input requests are not retried. On failure, disconnect, or a ten-second input timeout, queued input is discarded and outstanding callers are rejected. An interrupted request may already have reached the host, so its input must not be replayed after reconnecting. This uses the existing HTTP API and requires no host protocol upgrade.
