feat(settings): optionally stop running terminals when settling threads - #26291
Settling a thread closes idle terminals but leaves running commands and dev servers open. Users cannot choose to stop those terminals automatically, either globally or for a particular project.
Change
Add Close running terminals on settle to Threads settings on web, desktop, and mobile, with project overrides.
The option defaults to off. When enabled, manual and automatic settlement close all terminals owned by the thread, preserving their output. Cleanup runs once per settlement before settle scripts, and script-start failures remain retryable. Closing a terminal retains queued output in its history.
Scope and approval
This is focused configuration of the existing settlement cleanup capability. It reuses the existing terminal-close operation, preserves current defaults, and only affects terminals belonging to the settled thread.
Verification
Merged current main without rebasing, preserving per-action stop-on-settle behavior and shared-worktree safeguards. The mobile switch now respects managed-policy locks.
Blacksmith vp run check:changed 76b3e3390e2fdb824a3afbc7e6b5300cfec7a6b3 passes on 80636ed4ce: formatting, lint, knip, GraphQL, 37-package typecheck, 185 tests across seven files, and React Compiler coverage.
Playwright with system Chrome against isolated development state: the setting persists across reload; default settlement leaves a running command open; enabling it closes the running terminal.
Native mobile and the Electron shell were not exercised. Server history-retention regressions pass; the mounted web terminal's existing exit handler deletes history after closure, as on main.
Implemented with GPT-6.1 Sol (high reasoning effort) through the Codex harness in T3 Code.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Adds an opt-in setting to stop running terminals when a thread settles, with project overrides and clear descriptions. Existing behavior remains unchanged by default, and cleanup stays confined to the settled thread's terminals.

Walkthrough
A project-scoped setting controls whether thread settlement closes all terminals or only idle terminals. Web and mobile settings expose the option. Settlement cleanup is tracked by settlement timestamp. Terminal shutdown also preserves queued output in history.
Changes: Terminal settlement setting
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Define the setting and expose its controls packages/contracts/src/settings.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/SettingsPanels.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/SettingsServerControlsRouteScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/ThreadSettingsSections.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/settingsSearch.ts, docs/user/thread-sidebar.md
The setting defaults to false and accepts project overrides. Web and mobile settings expose the option. Settings search includes it, and documentation describes its behavior and project override.
Apply the setting during settlement apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadSettlementService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadSettlementService.test.ts
Settlement closes all terminals when the setting is enabled and idle terminals otherwise. Cleanup is tracked by settlement timestamp. Tests cover setting resolution, repeated settlement events, and failed script starts.
Terminal output history
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Preserve queued output on shutdown apps/server/src/terminal/Manager.ts, apps/server/src/terminal/Manager.test.ts
Terminal shutdown processes queued output events and appends sanitized visible text to history. The test controls output delivery around terminal closure.

This adds an opt-in setting, off by default, that closes running terminals when a thread settles, with project overrides. The mobile switch now respects managed-policy locks. No merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation
The title names the main change: an optional setting that stops running terminals when a thread settles. It uses a conventional commit prefix and matches the changeset, which adds the setting across contracts, server settlement logic, terminal manager, web, and mobile settings, plus docs.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the problem (settling closes idle terminals but leaves running commands and dev servers open), the change (a Close running terminals on settle option with project overrides, defaulting to off), and scope reasoning (focused configuration of existing settlement cleanup, reusing the existing terminal-close operation). It also gives verification detail: a check:changed run, a Playwright session with observed results, the untested areas (native mobile, Electron), and screenshots/GIF before and after. The template's required sections are all present and substantive. The Scope and approval section does not link a triaged issue or maintainer approval comment, which the template asks for, and the description does not say whether the 'focused configuration' exemption applies with explicit justification beyond the author's assertion. That gap is non-critical enough to keep the check at PASS, but the author should add the issue or approval link if one exists.

⚠️Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Preserve queued output when closing running terminals.
TerminalManager.stopProcess removes the output listener and clears pendingProcessEvents before persisting history. If output is queued when settlement closes a running terminal, that output is lost. Drain queued output before closing the session and persist it with the terminal history. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

- Line 575: Update the settlement flow around terminals.close to track terminal
cleanup separately by settledAt, so repeated thread.settled events for the same
settlement do not close terminals again. Preserve retries when a settle script
fails to start.

merged current main without rebasing, preserving per-action stop-on-settle behavior, shared-worktree safeguards, and the contributor's settle-script/output fixes. corrected the mobile managed-policy guard and clarified the off-state descriptions.
all 31 checks pass at 80636ed4ce; github reports clean mergeability. blacksmith check:changed passes, including 185 tests and the affected typechecks. two independent reviews approve this head, and the addressed bot threads are resolved.
real chrome verification confirmed switch persistence, default preservation of a running command, and closure when enabled. native mobile and the electron shell remain unverified. server history-retention tests pass; the mounted web terminal's existing exit handler still deletes saved history after closure, unchanged from main.
