Forward numeric keypad identities with Num Lock enabled and preserve held-key pairing across lock changes. Suppress local lock feedback during remote capture so it cannot interrupt incoming speech. Add debug speech and capture-end diagnostics, expand private keypad checks, and repair the suspension probe source list.
Validated affected Go packages, focused remote speech race checks, the private X11 Remote input harness, and a reader build. Live physical keyboard, audible PowerShell speech, Braille, and disconnect-cause verification remain pending; the active reader session was left running.
Accept the eighteen browser, volume, media and launch identities in the input vocabulary and both SDKs. Exercise media-key capture on the private Xorg harness, and permit only the new remember-host checkbox in the connection form integration test.
Validated: affected-package race tests, Tentacles make check, private native_remote_input.py and native_remote_keys.py. Physical input, live peer interoperability, speech and Braille acceptance remain pending.

A controlled reader renders accepted application frames in a new
virtual-only cthulhu-braille mode at the controller's width and applies
its pan and route gestures; reader UI, flashes and secure frames are
never exported, and hidden frames are unroutable. A controller reader
reports its display width, shows peer cells as an untranslated raw
frame and forwards local pan and routing keys. The physical helper now
reports its width and edge pans.

During remote focus a Remote shortcut now ends capture, like F11,
instead of running its command, which would race with the focus change.
The reader announces when the keyboard starts and stops controlling the
remote computer, and the consent wording names the F11 escape.

The Xorg command owner gains an exclusive Remote capture mode. Native
transitions pass through the repeat normalizer and capture router;
forwarded keys leave as remote.input events, Remote's own shortcuts are
dispatched locally, and F11 ends capture on the X thread. Reader policy,
overflow or inconsistent input also end it. Ending releases forwarded
keys first and keeps the grab until held keys are released. Local key
echo is suppressed during capture. The app attaches the owner to
sessions installed with keyboard-capture.

Local launch and managed startup now start the incoming-key owner for
sessions installed with keyboard-inject, using one input-helper
Supervisor retained for the reader lifetime. Delivery rechecks lock,
XTerm handoff and internal reader UI in addition to lease, grant and
deadline. build-cthulhu.sh and both Arch packages build and install
cthulhu-input-helper; a missing helper leaves keyboard input
unavailable without affecting startup.

Attach incoming software speech to reader sessions with lease checks, local output priority and isolated cancellation. Preserve every document fragment source for privacy checks and export reviewed browse current-line reading, spelling and phonetic output.
Verified focused reading and Remote race tests, complete review and external Remote race suites, private relay integration, speech regressions, affected-package vet, reader build and Tentacles make check. Audible speech, physical input/Braille and live interoperability remain unverified.
Preserve literal whitespace and resolved spelling/language state across complete Remote speech assemblies. Isolate cancellation from local status and echo, retire handles on configuration changes or rendering failure, and cover metadata preparation cancellation with private SSIP fixtures.
Verified focused application and backend race tests, ten repetitions of isolated-client/rendering cases, shared speech regressions, affected-package vet, reader build and Tentacles checks. Incoming mailbox integration, local priority and live audible acceptance remain pending.
Add opt-in Tentacle protocol 1.1, explicit remote grants, lifecycle IPC and expiring core leases in both SDKs. Revoke access before update preparation, including failed updates.
Add transient secret entries, shared Braille cell export and isolated Xorg recovery experiments with focused tests and documented limitations. Production consent, desktop services and live interoperability remain pending.
Keep failed cursor trials and native recapture anchored to the original document, and restore the requested cached root before LRU eviction. Base braille retry resets on established connection time rather than stalled startup. Poll private AT-SPI daemon ownership without triggering service activation and clean up partial startup failures. Add focused regressions and update browser testing notes.
Helper retries BrlAPI open in-process until BRLTTY answers, supervisor waits with the parked helper instead of kill/respawn cycles, exponential backoff and warn-once for real helper exits, bounded give-up so permanent failures still surface.
Incremental-game style fixture whose AT-SPI leaves recreate every 250 ms, native navigation test, private-session AT-SPI daemon launch in the harness (no systemd, no host session required), and testing notes.
Recreated-node caret recovery, tolerant caret validation, per-root retained document trees and cursors across tab switches, document warm-up, coalesced structural moves, and hung-provider fast-fail with an 'Application is not responding' announcement.
