Analysis conclusion

Pebble is not a shallow fork of an early prototype. Its Git history contains Orca through v1.4.124-rc.8; divergence begins after that release, followed by the brand migration and then the Electron-to-Tauri/Go ownership change. Therefore normal Git cherry-picks are only trustworthy for small renderer/shared changes.

Upstream source	Pebble treatment
src/renderer, shared pure TypeScript	Compare behavior and tests; selective semantic cherry-pick may be possible after path/import adaptation.
src/main, daemon, PTY, persistence, SSH	Port the contract into runtime/go and apps/desktop/src-tauri; never accept an Electron implementation as the final patch.
src/preload IPC	Map request/event semantics into typed Tauri/runtime RPC bridges.
Mobile/relay protocol	Preserve wire compatibility and remote/SSH behavior; review both desktop and mobile consumers.
Electron builder/updater/signing/branding	Review the bug intent, then implement only if Pebble Tauri release architecture has the same invariant.
Orca account/branding/domain-only changes	Usually not-applicable, unless they reveal a generic product contract.

Priority order inside every release issue

1. Security, data loss, persistence durability, destructive worktree/PTY behavior.
2. Crash/OOM, daemon/PTY/session recovery, SSH and remote-runtime correctness.
3. Cross-platform Windows/Linux/macOS and updater/release integrity.
4. Source control/provider correctness, including GitLab and non-GitHub behavior.
5. Renderer UX, performance, mobile, localization, and optional features.

Completion contract

• Every changelog bullet is classified in its release issue.
• Every port item links a Pebble issue/PR/commit and regression test.
• Every already-present item links evidence in Pebble history.
• Every superseded-by-Pebble item names the replacement Go/Tauri contract.
• Every not-applicable item records why the Orca-only behavior does not transfer.
• The unreleased-main issue is refreshed when upstream advances.

Added dedicated Skills sync tracker: #39. It covers all eight inherited Skills plus the upstream hybrid skills/ + skill-stubs/ + version-matched skill-guides/ architecture, which requires Pebble CLI/runtime semantic adaptation rather than copying current SKILL.md files.

Master tracker update — version slices closed

All open version-scoped [Upstream Orca] v1.4.* semantic port review issues and post-v1.4.159-rc.0 main delta (#37) are now closed with full changelog (or commit-list) classification comments.

Ports landed on main during this sweep (v1.4.128 focus)

Commit	Upstream
0da76accb	#7600 pane-agent-evidence
80abe069e	#7557 localhost label unregister
b6bf985f6	#7560 CodexRestartChip gated subs
0e84b2e0a	#7562/#7564/#7566/#7528/#7559 memory bounds
89a2a452c	#7645 closed-tab FIFO + #7613 bulk terminal map purge

Residuals (not silent)

Large deferred families remain as product follow-ups: host codex-session-bridge/WSL, local-first startup catalogs, unreachable-runtime storms, Windows terminal survival, provider host-routing, mobile restore/tree fallbacks, etc. Each closed version issue’s rollup lists deferred bullets with ownership notes.

This tracker may remain open as a living index for future upstream main deltas. No open version-review issues remain.

Version-slice status (goal close-out)

All version-scoped semantic port reviews are closed with full changelog classification:

• [Upstream Orca] v1.4.128 semantic port review #3–[Upstream Orca] v1.4.159-rc.0 semantic port review #34 ([Upstream Orca] v1.4.* semantic port review) — closed
• [Upstream Orca] post-v1.4.159-rc.0 main delta #37 (post-v1.4.159-rc.0 main delta) — closed (16 unreleased commits classified)

Classification quality (amended v2)

• Every changelog PR has a verdict: ported | already-present | superseded-by-Pebble | not-applicable | deferred
• Latest rollups on [Upstream Orca] v1.4.129 semantic port review #4–[Upstream Orca] v1.4.159-rc.0 semantic port review #34 are Amended rollup v2 with per-PR ownership residuals (no identical boilerplate deferred theater)
• [Upstream Orca] v1.4.128 semantic port review #3 #7599 uses canonical enum only (already-present + deferred split), not partial-port

Ports on main (goal window)

This tracker

#38 stays open as the living post-fork index / recheck hook when upstream main advances. New release cuts should open fresh version issues; do not reopen closed slices for residual ports—file focused follow-ups against ownership packages instead.

Classification quality update (amended v3)

Skeptic gap closed: the 259 deferred rows that still used unscoped title-echo placeholders were remapped to concrete Pebble ownership surfaces (or N/A) and re-posted as Amended rollup v3 on the affected version issues.

• Latest comments on [Upstream Orca] v1.4.129 semantic port review #4–[Upstream Orca] v1.4.159-rc.0 semantic port review #34: zero map package before port phrases
• Examples: #7755 → pane-agent-evidence; #7879 → apps/mobile; #8435/#8463 → runtime/go SSH; #9466 → not-applicable mobile version bump
• Ports + tests + open-list status unchanged; only classification quality improved

#38 remains the living index for future upstream advances.
