First, daemon-centric reads. PR 4136 moves read-only CLI commands like list, status, and session show onto daemon-maintained runtime state through a new read socket, preserving existing CLI output. PR 4661 stacked on it, fixing passphrase authentication for session list reads that were still bearer-only. For…

Second, status correctness. PR 4672 fixes a user-reported regression where extension status rows made working terminal sessions look idle, by sharing a detection plan across layouts. PR 4691 keeps Claude sessions marked running while a monitor is still armed, and PR 4630 launches Codex with no-daemon mode so hooks…
