A wave of fixes landed today around session status accuracy, prompt-submission race conditions, and tmux rendering reliability — most tracing back to two recent architectural changes that needed follow-up hardening.

Good afternoon. It's September 1st, and today's activity is dominated by teams cleaning up after two big recent refactors — status detection and paint-path performance — plus a fresh push on session security.

Start with status. PR 3633 fixed rule precedence and a timing bug in the "Running to Idle" detection, but that same day PR 3672, from Nathan Brake, found the real root cause: detection state was being thrown away every poll cycle because no single component owned it. Sessions could get stuck reporting "Running"…

Second theme: prompt submission concurrency. PR 3639 gave each session one authoritative lock for submitting prompts, replacing a looser instance lock that let a queued follow-up race a resume or get silently dropped. But that create three known gaps, closed today in PR 3673 — teardown, stop, and agent-switch paths…

Third theme: tmux rendering reliability. PR 3537, merged after many review rounds, removed every synchronous tmux call from the TUI paint path — a stalled tmux server could previously freeze the whole interface. Follow-ups today, PR 3690 and PR 3677, fixed a resulting regression where selecting a session briefly…
