## Why
TUI preferences and persistence paths belong to the local client, while thread
configuration and account requirements may come from the active app server.
Keeping both in the same resolved `Config` can replace live local preferences
when a thread is resumed, forked, reconnected, or switched.
## What changed
- Add `LocalSettings` as the TUI-owned source for UI, history, notice, and local
persistence settings, and preserve it across session lifecycle transitions.
- Write preference changes to the selected user config file and reload local
settings from disk when changing roots.
- Use the app server's account response for authentication-dependent onboarding
and status UI instead of the local model-provider configuration.
- Retain platform family and OS metadata reported by remote app servers.
## Testing
- Cover local setting defaults, overrides, persistence destinations, reloads,
and preservation across widget replacement and root switching.
- Cover remote platform metadata and server-controlled authentication UI.

## What changed
- Forward terminal focus changes through the TUI event stream and handle them across interactive screens.
- Track completed turns and recap eligibility across active, resumed, and switched threads.
- Add bounded recent-conversation prompt construction and a wrapping `Conversation recap` history cell.
- Cover focus timing, repeat eligibility, restored progress, UTF-8 prompt limits, and recap rendering with unit and snapshot tests.

## What changed
- Add `codex agents` to open the shared agents overview without creating a new session.
- Start the local background app server automatically on Unix, or connect to a server supplied with `--remote`.
- Reject invocation-specific session overrides that cannot apply to shared sessions.
- When the overview is opened from an embedded session, offer to start the background server without moving or interrupting the current session.
## Testing
- Cover command-line parsing and rejection of incompatible overrides.
- Snapshot the embedded-session background-server prompt.

## What changed
- Display a dimmed `Resuming session…` or `Forking session…` status above the provisional composer based on the requested session action.
- Update or clear the status after session selection resolves, while preserving the composer height and any startup draft text.
## Testing
- Add snapshot coverage for resume and fork loading states and transitions back to a fresh session.

## Why
On a pristine default installation, the provisional composer can appear before
first-login onboarding takes over the terminal.
## What changed
- Detect pristine local installations conservatively, accounting for existing
Codex state, custom homes, access tokens, system configuration, and managed
configuration sources, including macOS managed preferences.
- Keep the composer hidden and ignore draft input until onboarding completes,
while still allowing startup cancellation with `Ctrl-C` or `Ctrl-D`.
- Reveal the configured composer after onboarding for normal new-session
launches; resume and fork pickers retain their existing startup flow.
## Testing
- Cover pristine and existing home layouts, environment credentials, system and
managed configuration, inaccessible state, onboarding input suppression,
cancellation, and the transition to the composer.

## Why
Configuration and app-server initialization can take time before the main TUI is ready, leaving users unable to begin drafting a prompt.
## What changed
- Show a provisional composer while startup work runs and carry its text, cursor position, paste state, and attachments into the initialized chat.
- Limit the provisional composer to safe editing and cancellation, and quarantine input around session pickers, approvals, and other actionable startup screens.
- Preserve configuration validation before terminal checks and recover terminal state cleanly from startup failures and caught panics.
## Testing
- Cover startup editing, multiline and large pastes, keymaps, cancellation, session-picker handoff, approval boundaries, and draft restoration.
- Verify non-interactive launches report configuration errors before terminal errors.
