Agent Of Empires Daily: Precision Over Guesswork
Today's merges tighten accuracy across the stack — from scoping Claude credentials to least privilege, to fixing false status reads in tmux, to correcting a build trigger that forced needless recompiles.

Start with status detection. PR 3412, from blueagledev, taught the tmux status reader to recognize Claude's folder-trust prompt as "waiting" instead of "idle" — a real problem, since a session stuck there needed a human but reported as fine. But the commit history shows this took seven follow-up passes in review,…
Second theme: scoping down what shouldn't be ambient. PR 3382 from shixi-li stops forwarding Claude credentials to every adapter by default — now each adapter only gets the environment variables it's verified to use. This is a breaking change for anyone relying on ambient auth for adapters like kimi or vibe; they'll…
Smaller but related: PR 3414 closed a gap where session lookups by ID couldn't see trashed or archived state that listing already exposed, and PR 3421 removed hardcoded filesystem assumptions from test code so tests pass on non-standard Linux setups like NixOS.
What's next: if you use…
