⌃S reached the session directly and skipped OnCommandEntered, which holds the one seam that adds a history entry — so a composed post was echoed and alias-expanded (both free from SendUserInputAsync) and never recorded. SendComposed's own doc had claimed all three for as long as the composer existed. It keeps going direct: OnCommandEntered is the command *line's* seam and clears that window's bar draft, moves the unsent marker and owns the /web, /graphics and /triggers branches. It records the entry itself instead — the built line rather than the buffer, since history holds sendable commands, and through InputHistory.Add so a post carrying a connect line meets the same secret gate.

⌃N has cycled the focused pane's tab strip for as long as panes have held more than one window, and it was named on F4 and nowhere else. It is now a ⌃P entry (layout:next-tab) and a status-row segment (⌃N tab, shown while the focused pane has a second tab). The chord stays ⌃N because the familiar spellings do not arrive, measured at a raw reader rather than assumed: ⌃Tab is 09, byte-identical to Tab; ⌃⇧Tab is CSI Z, byte-identical to ⇧Tab; ⌥Tab is ESC + a control byte and so arrives as two key events, on a chord the compositor takes anyway. Listing a key obliges it to answer. NextWindow returned in silence on a single-tab pane — indistinguishable from a dead key — and now refuses out loud, beside the pane cycle's own wording. Every surface says tab rather than window; F4 and --help said window while the rest said tab, and ⌥N already owns the window noun. FocusHints is generated from a segment list instead of eight hand-written ladders, with reading order and drop order kept separate so the existing pane · size · line row is unchanged cell for cell.

the actual reading order as pane · tab · size · line, and add a sentence
explaining that the tab segment has rank 1 because the visible tab strip makes
its shortcut less urgent. Keep the existing size-rank explanation and

The paragraph stated the reading order as pane · size · line and explained only size's priority, while the code inserts ⌃N tab between the pane and size segments at rank 1. CLAUDE.md carried the reasoning; the doc a reader of the method actually sees did not.

Two independent changes, one commit each.
fix(compose)— a post you wrote is a post you can recallThe F1 composer's ⌃S called the session's send directly and skipped
OnCommandEntered, which holds the one seam in the client that adds a history entry. A composed post was therefore echoed and alias-expanded — both free fromSendUserInputAsync— and never recorded, so ⌥↑ and ⌃R could not reach it.SendComposed's own doc had claimed all three for as long as the composer existed.It is not consistency-by-design. The rule elsewhere is history records what was entered on a command line, not what was sent:
/webis in it and a macro is not, and the auto-login's exclusion is deliberate and pinned. A composed post is a command the user just wrote, and it was the only user-authored command in this client with no recall route at all.It keeps going direct rather than being routed through
OnCommandEntered, which is the command line's seam: that also clears the window's bar draft, moves the unsent marker and owns the/web,/graphicsand/triggersbranches, none of which belong to a post written elsewhere. It records the entry itself instead — the built line rather than the buffer, since history holds sendable commands and a recalled entry lands on a one-command bar — and throughInputHistory.Add, so a post carrying a connect line meets the same secret gate.Paste into the composer was checked and is fine: it reaches

It was named on F4 and nowhere else — no ⌃P entry, no status-row hint, nothing on the strip itself.
