chore: v2.8.43 — terminal glyphs stay sharp in every pane; a huge diff line no longer hides the rest

v2.8.42 reacted to a page merge by toggling the font family on the next
frame, so each renderer re-acquired an atlas. Panes still showed squeezed,
overlapping glyphs: the toggle lands a frame late, swaps every pane onto a
fresh atlas (or onto one another pane already toggled to), and a page added
without a merge shifts nothing yet still raced it.

addon-webgl 0.20 fixes the root cause with globally monotonic page versions.
Do the same on 0.19: whenever the shared atlas adds, removes or merges a page,
give every page a version no texture slot has uploaded, synchronously, so
every renderer on that atlas re-uploads all pages before it draws again.
When the page comes back from the background, restamp and repaint. An addon
of another shape keeps the old font-toggle fallback.

 - Maintain a reliable local-first dashboard for Claude Code session monitoring.

 - **Server tests never touch the user's tmux.** Run them through `npm run test:server` (`scripts/test-server.js`), never a bare `node --test server/__tests__/*.test.js` from inside a lane pane — the suites create and kill real `agenthub-lane-<id>` sessions.
 - **An artifact is shared as a SNAPSHOT and installed only into the viewer's own account.** `server/lib/artifacts.js` (`/api/artifacts`): a pinned file or a skill is copied once into `<data dir>/artifacts/<random>/` and every viewer reads only that copy (an owner's edit of a skill — in the Hub, or in the skill's source folder, which the server takes when the Hub is listed and an installer's differing copy is then offered **Update** — writes a NEW snapshot and drops the old one — never a write into the one being read; the newer of the two changes wins) — `raw` serves only a file the snapshot recorded, under a `sandbox` CSP + `nosniff`; a `page` is a `https://claude.ai/…` link only. A developer sees their own rows plus shared ones; only the owner or an admin changes one. Install writes a skill into BOTH `~/.claude/skills/` and the cross-tool `~/.agents/skills/` of every account the CALLER's sessions run as (`installAccounts`: their S3 member home, plus the host's for an admin, whose host-folder workspaces run as the host; S3: as them through `write-as`), never over an existing one without `replace` (the old one is moved to `~/.claude/agenthub-replaced-skills/`, never deleted), and runs a plugin's `claude plugin marketplace add`/`install --scope user` as the caller, never with `-y`; Uninstall (`POST /api/artifacts/:id/uninstall`) takes it out of the same accounts — a skill MOVED to `agenthub-replaced-skills/`, never deleted, a plugin `claude plugin uninstall --scope user --keep-data`; an admin's switch (Settings → AI tools, `ArtifactsHubSettings`) turns installs off. An uploaded or written skill is snapshotted under the same checks (paths relative, no `..`, no secret names, zip sizes read before inflating). `POST /api/artifacts/plugin/inspect` clones a user-named https link only to read `marketplace.json`, with every credential helper OFF — never send a login with it. Do not add a route that serves a live file of another user, installs into someone else's account, or takes a plugin command from the request.
 - **A workspace's instructions, extra folders and context files are lane facts, and a pane reads them only from the lane's rows.** The one addition is the workspace OWNER's own agent instructions (`user_prefs.instructions`, `PUT /api/me/instructions`, Settings → AI tools), which `launchExtras` puts first — keyed by `lanes.owner_id` (`local` in local mode), never by whoever clicked Start. `lanes.instructions` and `lane_sources` (`server/lib/lane-sources.js`) reach a pane through `launchExtras(laneId, tool)`, which `spawnRun` calls ITSELF — so neither spawn path can take them from a request — and every write is same-origin (`server/routes/lane-sources.js`). A folder must be absolute, exist, be a directory, not be or contain the OS home (`validateHomeDir`) and not be the workspace's own folder; it is the user's, and AgentHub never deletes it. An uploaded file is stored under `<data dir>/workspace-context/<lane id>/` under a name AgentHub derives (never a path from the request), and those copies are the only thing here AgentHub deletes (`ownsFile`): with their row, and with the workspace in `deleteLane`. Claude's `--add-dir` is VARIADIC, so it goes first in the argv where `--permission-mode` ends it, and the text (instructions + context file list + extra folders) is written at every spawn as the ONLY file `CLAUDE.md` of `<data dir>/workspace-prompts/<lane id>/` (a member's: `prompt-<lane id>/` in their handoff dir, via `write-as`), which goes in as one more `--add-dir` with `CLAUDE_CODE_ADDITIONAL_DIRECTORIES_CLAUDE_MD=1` in the pane env — never `--append-system-prompt-file`: a custom system prompt is a launch flag Claude cannot carry over a restart, so it refused `/tui` in every pane with instructions (side effect: a CLAUDE.md in an extra folder is now read too); Codex gets one `--add-dir` per directory and `-c developer_instructions=<JSON string>` — the text itself up to 6 KB, else a line pointing at that file. Only `claude`/`codex` take them. Never write them into the user's repo (CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md).
-- **A workspace's sessions are the ones it OWNS, never the ones that ran in its folder.** `sessions.lane_id` is stamped by `bindRunSession` (`server/routes/hooks.js`) for the session a dashboard pane holds — first writer wins, a nested `claude -p` excluded — and no route sets it. A Codex/Antigravity session (their hooks are opt-in, so a pane may never learn its session) is also stamped by `claimToolSessions` (`server/lib/dashboard-runs.js`, called by both pollers and once at start): the lane of the newest same-tool dashboard run in the session's folder that was live when the session started, never a Claude session. A new Claude pane is started with `--session-id <uuid>` (`spawnRun`), so its `dashboard_runs.session_id` is known before any hook and a hook that carries no `run_id` (a hook handler older than `AGENTHUB_RUN_ID` forwarding) is still stamped from that run (`laneForSession`). Every workspace session list reads `GET /api/sessions?lane=<id>` — which also counts a still-unstamped session one of the lane's `dashboard_runs` holds, because hooks reach only the lowest-port dashboard on a shared DB and that one may be an older build that never stamps — and shows nothing else (no "other sessions in this folder"). Do not go back to listing a workspace by `cwd`, and do not guess ownership for old history.

Do not go back to listing a workspace by `cwd`, and do not guess ownership for old history. Billing has one more owner: a session NO workspace owns belongs to the user of the Linux account it ran as (`sessions.account` — the hook's peer, else its folder; `server/lib/session-account.js`, the host's account → the admin marked `users.host_account`, else the only admin), so a script's `claude -p` counts in Today, the Users page and spend quotas — a workspace's ownership always wins over it.
 - **A session's worktree is `claude --worktree`'s, resolved from the session row — and removing it never forces.** A Worktree start passes `--worktree=<server-made name>` (the `=` form: `-w [name]` eats the prompt otherwise) and Claude Code makes, populates and cleans up `<repo>/.claude/worktrees/<name>`; AgentHub only excludes `/.claude/worktrees/` at the repo root. A git route, a resume or a removal may work in a session's worktree only through `sessionWorktree` (`server/lib/session-worktree.js`: the session owned by the lane, its cwd not the lane's folder, registered by `git worktree list`) — `?session=` on the git routes answers `ENOWORKTREE` rather than falling back to the main folder. `POST /api/lanes/:id/session-worktree/remove` (same-origin, `confirm: true`, refused while a live pane holds the session) is the ONE dashboard path that deletes a worktree: `git worktree remove` with no `--force`, `git branch -d` never `-D`, a live-pid lock refused. Do not add a force, and do not let it touch a lane's own folder.
 - **Opening a session never resumes it — only SENDING a message to it does.** The sidebar and a workspace home ATTACH pane 0 to a session's live tmux pane (`/workspace?lane=<id>&run=<runId>`, `attachRequest` on `LaneConsolePane`) or, for an ended one, open it in its workspace like Claude Desktop (`/workspace?lane=<id>&session=<id>`, `client/src/components/lanes/SessionReplay.tsx`: its conversation read-only plus a prompt box; the console is only hidden, CSS). A resume re-reads the whole transcript into context, so it happens only on an explicit action: a message SENT from that replay (`resumeSessionId` + `prompt`, first free slot), the transcript page's **Resume**/**Fork** (`SessionResumeButton.tsx`, behind a warning), or the ticked sessions of the **Resume interrupted sessions?** dialog (`InterruptedSessionsPrompt.tsx`, `GET /api/run/interrupted` — runs whose pane died under them; opening it resumes nothing). The analysis page `/sessions/<id>` is reached from the session view's **Analyst** button (beside Files/Changes in the right panel). Do not add a path that resumes on a click. A resume is refused while a live pane holds the session (`409 ESESSIONLIVE` with that pane's `run_id`) — open that pane instead; a fork makes a new session and is allowed.
 - **A chat artifact runs in its own sandbox, never on the dashboard's origin.** The artifact panel (`client/src/components/run/ChatFilePreview.tsx`, `client/src/lib/artifactView.ts`) runs model-written HTML/Mermaid/React in an `<iframe srcdoc sandbox="allow-scripts …">` and an SVG in `sandbox=""` — never add `allow-same-origin` (the script would read the dashboard's cookies and call its API as the user), never render one with `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`, and keep its CDN libraries pinned to exact versions. An HTML FILE opened from the Changes panel, a Chat file preview or the File Explorer runs in the same sandbox (`client/src/components/HtmlFrame.tsx`, shown in a modal — `HtmlViewerModal.tsx`, Chat's `FilePreview modal`); its relative CSS/scripts/images are fetched by the DASHBOARD through the existing download routes and inlined (`client/src/lib/htmlInline.ts`) — never add a route that serves a folder to the frame without the login cookie. Versions are rebuilt from Write/Edit inputs (kept up to 256 KB by `server/lib/transcript-message.js`); no copy is stored, and Save to Artifacts uses the Hub's own `pinFile`/upload routes.
