@@ -120,7 +120,7 @@ One package, split by area (all `package main`, same directory):
 - `parseCache` - Reuses parsed conversations whose file size+mtime are unchanged, so refreshes only reparse changed files
 - `openResumeTab()` / `resumeInTmuxWindow()` / `resumeInITermTab()` - Opens the selected conversation in a new tmux window or iTerm tab (focus stays on ccs); falls back to exec-in-place elsewhere
 - `recordOpen()` / `reopenCheckCmd()` / `reopenPopup()` / `reopenCmd()` - reopening after a restart: each live tick (once the last record has been read) writes the live SessionIDs with `bootID()` (Linux boot_id, else macOS `kern.boottime`) to `openRecordPath` when the set changes. At startup, a record from another boot offers its sessions that aren't open again and are still listed, in a popup that owns the keyboard (enter reopens all in new tabs via `openResumeTab`, skipping any open by then and stopping at the first failure; esc not now). Only works if a ccs was running before the restart
-- `focusSession()` / `tmuxPaneForTTY()` - opening a live session (Enter on its empty message box): find its terminal by the claude pid's tty (`liveSessionPIDs()`) and select that tmux pane or iTerm tab instead of resuming a second copy. A claude with no terminal (tty `??`: an app such as T3 Code started it with pipes) can't be switched to: `hostOf` (cached per pid and start time, from the live tick) names the app (the first `.app` bundle among its parents, else its parent command), the list shows a hollow `○` and `in <app>` on the grey row, Enter says to open it there (`hostedElsewhere`, in `focusCmd`/`resumeCmd`; ^F still forks, ^S still messages it over its socket) and auto-focus skips it. Tests stub `hostOf`. Background sessions (`claude --bg`) have no terminal either, but can be opened: every `agentsInterval` (10s) the live tick asks `claude agents --json` (`listAgents`, stubbed in tests; nil on failure keeps the last answer) for `kind: background` sessions (`m.bg`: short `id`, `state`). They keep `●` and show `bg <state>` on the grey row (`hostedApp` excludes them); Enter opens `claude attach <id>` in a new tmux window or iTerm tab (`attachCmd`, never in place), ^X K pressed twice runs `claude stop <id>` (`stopCmd`), and they nest under the session whose Bash ran `claude --bg` (`isSpawn`)
+- `focusSession()` / `tmuxPaneForTTY()` - opening a live session (Enter on its empty message box): find its terminal by the claude pid's tty (`liveSessionPIDs()`) and select that tmux pane or iTerm tab instead of resuming a second copy. A claude with no terminal (tty `??`: an app such as T3 Code started it with pipes) can't be switched to: `hostOf` (cached per pid and start time, from the live tick) names the app (the first `.app` bundle among its parents, edition dropped by `appName`: `T3 Code`; else its parent command), the list shows a hollow `○` and `in <app>` on the grey row, Enter says to open it there as a grey note, not a red error (`hostedElsewhere`, `note()`: `noteMsg` marks the error row's text as information; in `focusCmd`/`resumeCmd`; ^F still forks, ^S still messages it over its socket) and auto-focus skips it. Tests stub `hostOf`. Background sessions (`claude --bg`) have no terminal either, but can be opened: every `agentsInterval` (10s) the live tick asks `claude agents --json` (`listAgents`, stubbed in tests; nil on failure keeps the last answer) for `kind: background` sessions (`m.bg`: short `id`, `state`).

 - Ctrl+F forks: `openResumeTab` / exec with `--fork-session`
 - `latestRelease()` / `newerVersion()` / `chooseUpgrader()` / `upgrader` - Self-update: at startup and every `updateCheckInterval` (2 min; `updateCheckBackoff` 10 min after a failed check), read the newest tag from the `github.com/.../releases/latest` redirect (not the REST API, whose 60/h unauthenticated limit shared IPs exhaust). If newer, `upgrader.Prepare` starts the slow, side-effect-free part in the background (Homebrew: `git pull` of just the ccs tap + `brew fetch`; otherwise download + verify against `checksums.txt`) while a popup over the preview offers Enter = install and re-exec, Esc = later (for that version, this session). `Install` waits for an in-flight prepare, then: Homebrew kegs (`/Cellar/`) only ever `brew upgrade agentic-utils/tap/ccs` (never overwritten); `/nix/` notify only; anything else atomically renames the verified binary over the old. The header shows the current step and elapsed seconds (`updateProgress`). Keys are ignored for `updateKeyGrace` after the popup opens. `dev` builds never check
 - `releaseChangelog()` / `parseChangelog()` / `changelogBlock()` - when an update is offered, the popup lists what changed in every release after the running version up to the new one (the `releases.atom` feed, not the REST API; it holds the latest 10 releases), commit subjects under each version, capped at `maxChangelogLines`. GoReleaser drops merge commits and hashes from the notes. A failed fetch is logged and the popup shows no list
