Block restart until Codex termination is acknowledged.
If Restart is clicked after terminateShell() sends its frame, useShellRuntime closes the WebSocket before terminated. The server keeps the PTY entry marked as terminating, rejects the next forceRestart initialization, and cannot send the acknowledgement because the socket is closed. Expose a terminating state and disable Restart and other teardown actions until terminated is received.

Web chat can fail with
thread ... already has an active writerafter a Codex reply has finished. An interactive Codex process still owns the thread while waiting for input. CloudCLI's Terminal Disconnect only detaches the WebSocket and retains that PTY for 30 minutes, so the completed reply/disconnected UI does not mean the writer was released.This change adds an actionable writer-conflict explanation in the web chat transcript, with the original error available in collapsed details. For Codex terminals, the Disconnect action becomes explicitly labeled End terminal, with a warning that running work will be interrupted. It requests PTY termination and waits for the process-exit acknowledgement before disconnecting. Ordinary network disconnects keep their existing reconnect behavior.
On POSIX, launch Codex with
execso the terminal process is the thread writer. Remove theresume || codexfallback (and its Windows counterpart), which otherwise silently starts a new conversation when resume fails. Termination is restricted to the socket currently owning that PTY; a stale socket cannot stop its replacement. No lock files are deleted and no external Codex clients are killed automatically.Reproduction:
Validation:
English and Simplified Chinese copy is included; other locales use English fallbacks. This is an explicit handoff, not automatic termination on chat send or a general cross-client lock manager. Windows process-tree behavior is not covered by the Linux integration test.
