Adds docs/CROSS_PLATFORM.md as the canonical reference for cross-platform
development: the "Golden Rule" (no raw process.platform === "win32" — use
isWindows() and the helpers in platform.ts), a full inventory of every
platform helper (platform.ts, path-equality, windows-pty-registry,
pty-client, sweepWindowsPtyHosts, validateSessionId, resolvePipePath,
setupPathWrapperWorkspace, activity-state helpers, AO_SHELL/AO_BASH_PATH),
the EPERM-vs-ESRCH gotcha when probing processes, PowerShell-vs-bash
differences, IPv6 localhost stalls, agent-plugin specifics, and a 10-point
pre-merge checklist.
Updates internal docs (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md,
docs/DEVELOPMENT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md,
.cursor/BUGBOT.md, packages/core/README.md, packages/plugins/runtime-tmux/
README.md, packages/core/src/prompts/orchestrator.md, ARCHITECTURE.md) to
remove tmux-only / POSIX-only claims, point at the new doc, and (in
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) describe the Windows runtime architecture: pty-host
helper, named-pipe protocol, registry, sweep, mux WS Windows branch.
Updates user-facing docs (README.md, SETUP.md, docs/CLI.md) to split
prerequisites by OS (no tmux on Windows), reflect that ao doctor and
ao update work on Windows, and note that power.preventIdleSleep is a
no-op on Linux and Windows.
Updates the agent-orchestrator skill (skills/agent-orchestrator/SKILL.md
and references/config.md) so it advertises Windows support, drops tmux
from the required-bins list, and gives the right Windows guidance for the
"spawn tmux ENOENT" error.

* feat: add zsh completion for ao (#1371)
Add a generated zsh completion command and dynamic completion backend so ao can tab-complete projects and session IDs without relying on jq or brittle text parsing. Document standard zsh and Oh My Zsh install paths, and cover the new flow with CLI tests.
* fix(cli): address copilot completion review feedback for PR 1374
* fix completion and harden local workflow parsing
* Update packages/cli/src/lib/completion.ts

* feat(cli): filter terminated sessions from ao session ls / ao status by default
Closes#1310. Terminated sessions (killed/terminated/done/merged/errored/cleanup,
plus lifecycle-driven terminal states) are now hidden from `ao session ls` and
`ao status` by default. A dim footer reports how many were hidden and how to
surface them. Pass `--include-terminated` to restore the full list.
JSON output wraps into `{ data: [...], meta: { hiddenTerminatedCount } }` on
both commands so text and machine-readable views tell the same story. This is a
breaking change for script consumers of `--json`; `--include-terminated` is the
escape hatch.
Orthogonal to `-a, --all` (orchestrator visibility, unchanged). Restore of
terminated sessions by id is unaffected — that path goes through `sm.get`, not
`sm.list`.
Docs (`SETUP.md`, `docs/CLI.md`) updated to match. Tests cover both the legacy
status branch and the canonical lifecycle branch of `isTerminalSession`.

* fix(cli): drop unused `lc` param in lifecycle-alive test case
ESLint's no-unused-vars rejects unprefixed unused args. The "alive — should
remain visible" branch of the new lifecycle-driven filter test in
`session.test.ts` took `lc` but never touched it. Switch to `()`. Matches the
equivalent case in `status.test.ts`.

* fix(core): preserve pr.state=merged when legacy metadata lacks pr= URL
Review blocker on PR #1340: a metadata file with `status=merged` but no `pr=`
URL was still showing as active in `ao session ls` / `ao status` by default.
Root cause: `synthesizePRState()` in lifecycle-state.ts short-circuited to
`{ state: "none" }` whenever no PR URL was present, ignoring the fact that the
legacy `status` column already encodes terminal truth. Once lifecycle was
synthesized as `session.state="idle"` + `pr.state="none"`, `deriveLegacyStatus`
returned `"idle"` and `isTerminalSession()` (lifecycle branch) returned false.
The new CLI filter then let the session through.
Fix: when legacy `status === "merged"` and no URL is available, synthesize
`pr.state="merged", reason="merged"` with `number: null, url: null`. The
terminal signal survives the flat-metadata → canonical-lifecycle round trip.
Also:
- Export `sessionFromMetadata` from the core barrel. CLI tests and external
consumers need it to round-trip metadata through the canonical lifecycle.
- Update CLI `buildSessionsFromDir` helpers to route through `sessionFromMetadata`
so mocked `sm.list()` reflects production reconstruction (the old shortcut
bypassed synthesis entirely and was the reason the bug slipped past the
original test suite).
- Add regression tests: one at the core level (`parseCanonicalLifecycle` for
merged-without-URL) and one integration-style test per CLI command asserting
the reviewer's exact repro produces the expected filtered output.
- One pre-existing test expectation updated: when metadata has `status=working`
and `pr=<url>`, the reconstructed status is `pr_open`, not `working`. That's
what production `sm.list()` has always returned; the test was previously
hiding behind the reconstruction shortcut.
Changeset bumped to include ao-core (patch).

* test(cli): route review-check helper through sessionFromMetadata
Last remaining test-fidelity shortcut flagged by codex on PR #1340. The
`buildSessionsFromDir` helper in review-check.test.ts fabricated Session
objects by hand, bypassing the canonical lifecycle reconstruction that
production `sm.list()` runs. Doesn't affect review-check's actual behavior
(which reads `session.metadata["pr"]` directly), but aligns this test with
the equivalent helpers in session.test.ts and status.test.ts so future
lifecycle changes don't silently skip this surface.

The README should sell the experience, not list CLI flags. Humans
interact with `ao start` and the dashboard — the CLI is primarily
used by the orchestrator agent internally.
- Move full CLI reference to docs/CLI.md with clear sections:
"commands humans use" vs "commands the orchestrator agent uses"
- Rewrite README to focus on install → start → done flow
- Remove CLI and Maintenance sections from README
- Simplify "How It Works" to describe the system, not CLI commands
- Add CLI Reference to Documentation table
- Collapse source install into <details> to reduce noise
