* fix(sync): preserve pending questions across session switch and directory eviction
Closes#918, completes the gap left by #909.
The 'agent question disappears after switching session / coming back
later' bug had two root causes that #909 only partially addressed:
1. Directory-eviction TTL (20 min) silently dropped child stores that
held pending questions/permissions. The discard wasn't gated on
in-flight blocking-request state, so any 'question.asked' event
that arrived during the eviction-then-rehydrate window was routed
to a non-existent store and silently lost.
2. PR #909 re-fetches listPendingQuestions/Permissions only on SSE
reconnect. Switching sessions within the same socket — including
navigating back to a directory whose child store was rebuilt after
eviction — left the UI relying on store state that may have missed
events that fired while a different session was active.
Three edits, in src/sync:
- eviction.ts / types.ts / child-store.ts: add hasPendingBlockingRequests
to EvictPlan + DisposeCheck and never evict a directory whose store
carries a non-empty state.question or state.permission record.
- sync-context.tsx: extract resyncBlockingRequestsForDirectory from the
reconnect path and call it on currentSessionId changes (debounced
250ms), reusing PR #909's signature-based merge so concurrent SSE
updates aren't clobbered.
- __tests__/eviction.test.ts, __tests__/session-switch-resync.test.ts:
new unit coverage for the eviction guard and resync semantics
(deduped fetch per switch, in-flight SSE preservation, stale entry
cleanup, unknown-session filtering).
* fix(sync): refresh store before blocking request resync

Run OpenChamber and OpenCode as separate persistent services — useful when you want to access your
dev machine over a VPN (e.g. Tailscale) or LAN without a Cloudflare tunnel.
How it works:
OpenCode runs as its own service, binding only to localhost.
OpenChamber connects to it via OPENCODE_HOST and --host 0.0.0.0 makes it reachable on your VPN IP.
--foreground keeps the CLI process alive so systemd can track and restart it.
Why set PATH and SSH_AUTH_SOCK?
systemd user services start with a minimal environment — no shell profile is sourced.
Without an explicit PATH, OpenCode won't find tools installed via Homebrew, npm, or ~/.local/bin.
Without SSH_AUTH_SOCK, git operations over SSH (push, pull, clone) will fail because the agent socket isn't inherited.
Adjust the PATH to match your own tool installation paths.
%t expands to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (e.g. /run/user/1000), where most SSH agents write their socket.
OpenChamber will be reachable at http://<your-vpn-hostname>:3000 from any device on your VPN.
Note:--host 0.0.0.0 is required to listen on all interfaces. The default
bind address is 127.0.0.1 (localhost only). Use --host <ip> or
OPENCHAMBER_HOST=<ip> to bind to a specific interface instead.
Managed-local path note: OPENCHAMBER_TUNNEL_CONFIG must point to a path inside the container user home (/home/openchamber/...). If your Cloudflare config references a credentials JSON file, that file path must also be accessible inside the container (mount with volumes).

Tunnel behavior notes
OpenChamber supports one active tunnel per running instance (port).
Starting a tunnel with a different mode/provider on the same instance replaces the current tunnel.
Replacing or stopping a tunnel revokes existing connect links and invalidates remote tunnel sessions for that instance.
Connect links are one-time tokens; generating a new link revokes the previous unused link.
Data Directory Permission Note: The data/ directory is mounted into the container for persistent storage (config, sessions, SSH keys, workspaces). Before running, ensure the directory exists and has proper permissions:
