feat(sessions): --weight sort override to pin deck/tab order (resubmit of #52)

[doug-w]

Resubmits the session-weight feature from #52, rebased onto current master with the requested changes applied. #52 was closed as stale/conflicted with CI failing on omitted generated protocol artifacts; this branch fixes all three concerns.

What this adds

A --weight <n> flag on the session commands (claude, codex, opencode, monitor) that pins where a session lands in the Stream Deck deck — and in every other dashboard surface. Running several tabs on one project (Windows Terminal / iTerm), you tag each tab with a weight and the deck mirrors your tab order:

agentdeck claude --weight 1   # tab 1 → deck slot 1
agentdeck claude --weight 2   # tab 2 → deck slot 2

sortSessions gains a new primary key: weight ascending (negatives → unweighted/0 → positives), then the existing agentType → project → startedAt → id keys unchanged within a weight band. --weight is integer-validated (--weight foo fails loudly). Weight defaults to 0; leaving every session unweighted reproduces the pre-weight ordering byte-for-byte. Weight is a pure sort key — no behavioral change.

Changes vs #52 (addresses the close reasons)

• Rebased onto current master — resolved the bridge/src/cli.ts conflict (master removed the d200h module key; kept master's module set and threaded weight). No other conflicts.
• pnpm generate-protocol output committed — the CI "Protocol drift check" now passes. Regenerated generated/protocol/BridgeEvent.swift, BridgeEvent.kt, and bridge-event-schema.json add the weight field.
• Integer-compatible wire value confirmed — the generator represents JSON numbers as Double, so the reference artifacts show weight: Double?. The consumed hand-written models use Int? (SessionInfo.weight in Swift/Kotlin) and the daemon emits an integer (parseWeight validates as int). JSON 2 decodes cleanly into both Int and Double, and the Swift dict-payload path coerces via NSNumber.intValue. So the reference-vs-consumed type split is intentional and wire-safe.

Local CI parity

Ran the full ci.yml + design-system.yml sequence locally before pushing — all green:

• pnpm verify-version ✓
• pnpm build ✓ · pnpm typecheck ✓
• pnpm test — 1702 passed
• npx vitest run --coverage — thresholds cleared (lines 42.4%, branches 37.8%, functions 39%, statements 40.9%)
• Protocol drift check — pnpm generate-protocol produces no diff ✓ (the feat(sessions): --weight sort override to pin deck/tab order #52 blocker)
• Token mirror sync + design-lint vs baseline ✓ (89 ≤ 93)

Data flow

CLI --weight → SessionOptions.weight → SessionEntry.weight (sessions.json)
  → EnrichedSession.weight → SessionInfo.weight (wire) → sortSessions / compareEntries

Cross-platform parity (hand-mirrored SSOT)

SSOT in shared/src/session-utils.ts (sessionWeight() + weight as key 0 in sortSessions), hand-mirrored in bridge (parseWeight flag on all four commands + registry/aggregator plumbing), Apple (DashboardDataRules.sessionWeight, all sortSessions overloads incl. dict path, daemon wire emit), and Android (sessionWeight + compareSessionsForDisplay, e-ink EinkAgentColumn, tablet SessionListPanel). Stream Deck plugin + TUI inherit via shared sortSessions.

Tests

• shared (vitest) — 9 cases: band ordering, sessionWeight normalization (null/NaN/Infinity → 0), weight-beats-agentType, within-band fallback, tab→slot mapping, no-weight == legacy ordering
• Apple (XCTest) — 2 mirror tests in ProtocolTests.swift
• Android (JUnit) — 3 mirror tests in SessionDisplayOrderingTest.kt

Apple/Android native builds are out of scope on this dev box; those ports are hand-mirrored and covered by mirror tests. CI validates compilation.

Thanks for resubmitting this with the generated protocol artifacts and green CI. GitHub currently reports the PR as mergeable: false, mergeable_state: dirty, and rebaseable: false against the latest master, which has advanced since this branch was prepared. Please rebase/recreate the branch on current puritysb/AgentDeck master, resolve the conflicts without dropping the recent daemon/protocol/platform changes, and rerun the full CI matrix. I will do the substantive weight-ordering review on the conflict-free head so we do not review code that cannot be merged as submitted.

[puritysb]

Thanks for updating the branch. The new head is clean/mergeable and all four CI checks pass. I completed the substantive review and found several cross-surface gaps that need to be fixed before merge:

1. Weight is lost on the Swift-daemon discovery path. startSession() persists weight in the Node SessionEntry, but DaemonWsClient does not include it in session_push_register, and Swift handleSessionPushRegister neither reads nor preserves it. The Swift daemon cannot read the CLI process's ~/.agentdeck/sessions.json; its own comment identifies this push registration as the sole discovery path. Consequently --weight does not reach the App Store macOS/iOS dashboards when the built-in Swift daemon is active, despite the added Swift model/sort fields. Please thread weight through the register frame and preserve it during Swift re-register/state entry reconstruction, with a regression test for the Node-session → Swift-daemon shape.

2. Weighted Codex tabs are folded before they can be sorted. Stream Deck and D200H call foldCodexSessionsForDisplay() before sortSessions(). The fold key is only Codex kind + project, so two same-project Codex tabs with weights 1 and 2 collapse to one representative whose weight can change with state. I reproduced this in a focused test: expected [codex-tab-1, codex-tab-2], actual [codex-tab-2]; the existing 34 session-utils tests still pass. Explicitly distinct weights need to participate in the fold key or otherwise opt those sessions out of folding, mirrored in the Swift folding implementation/preview. Add a regression covering two weighted same-project Codex sessions and state changes.

3. The CLI accepts integers that are not wire-safe and the native comparators can overflow. Number.isInteger(Number(value)) accepts values such as 1e100 and 9007199254740992; even 2147483648 cannot fit the Kotlin Int? model. Kotlin and Swift also subtract user-controlled weights, so opposite/extreme values can overflow (Swift may trap; Kotlin can reverse ordering). Please enforce a documented cross-platform range in parseWeight, use direct/three-way comparison instead of subtraction in TS/Swift/Kotlin, and test both bounds plus opposite-sign extremes.

4. Required mirrors/docs are incomplete. D200HLayoutModel.D200HSession and its hand-ported sortSessions still have no weight, so Device Preview no longer mirrors the shared layout ordering. Because this adds behavior to App Store dashboard surfaces, add the required docs/appstore-feature-matrix.md row, and record the structural CLI→registry→wire→surface change in DEVELOPMENT_LOG.md rather than relying only on the CLAUDE/README text.

Verification at b27731d: shared/bridge TypeScript typechecks passed; existing session-utils tests passed 34/34; the focused weighted-Codex-fold regression failed as described; GitHub CI is green.

[puritysb]

Moving this PR back to Draft to match the unresolved cross-surface contract. The feature remains useful, but the current head now conflicts with master and still needs all four substantive review areas addressed:

1. carry weight through session_push_register into the Swift daemon and preserve it on re-registration;
2. prevent distinct weighted same-project Codex sessions from being folded together;
3. enforce a documented cross-platform integer range and replace subtracting comparators with overflow-safe comparison;
4. mirror D200H preview ordering and update the App Store feature matrix plus DEVELOPMENT_LOG.

Please rebase after implementing these changes, regenerate protocol mirrors, run the full TypeScript/Apple/Android test matrix, and only then mark ready for review.
