+## Why
+
+- The fleet tab strip pane has been removed, so `plan-watcher.sh` should no
+  longer special-case or skip panes marked `[codex-fleet-tab-strip]`.
+- Keeping the old exclusion can hide a labelled pane from idle-worker detection
+  and leaves obsolete tab-strip terminology in the watcher comments.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Remove the `[codex-fleet-tab-strip]` skip from `list_idle_workers`.
+- Update the nearby comment block to describe the current worker-pane filtering
+  rules after tab-strip removal.
+
+## Impact
+
+- Scope is limited to `scripts/codex-fleet/plan-watcher.sh`.
+- Runtime behavior now treats every labelled pane as eligible for idle-worker
+  detection when its recent output matches the idle patterns.
+- Verification covers shell syntax, optional one-shot dry-run when a fleet tmux
+  session exists, and OpenSpec validation.

+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Plan Watcher Handles Post Tab-Strip Panes
+`plan-watcher.sh` SHALL not exclude panes only because they carry the removed
+`[codex-fleet-tab-strip]` panel label.
+
+#### Scenario: Labelled panes remain eligible
+- **WHEN** `list_idle_workers` scans panes in the overview window
+- **THEN** panes with a non-empty `@panel` label are eligible for idle-pattern
+  matching
+- **AND** there is no skip for `[codex-fleet-tab-strip]`.
+
+#### Scenario: Uninitialised panes remain ignored
+- **WHEN** `list_idle_workers` scans a pane with an empty `@panel` value
+- **THEN** that pane is still skipped before tail capture.

+## Definition of Done
+
+This change is complete only when **all** of the following are true:
+
+- Every checkbox below is checked.
+- The agent branch reaches `MERGED` state on `origin` and the PR URL + state are recorded in the completion handoff.
+- If any step blocks (test failure, conflict, ambiguous result), append a `BLOCKED:` line under section 4 explaining the blocker and **STOP**. Do not tick remaining cleanup boxes; do not silently skip the cleanup pipeline.
+
+## Handoff
+
+- Handoff: change=`agent-codex-drop-the-tab-strip-panel-exclusion-in-pl-2026-05-15-14-30`; branch=`agent/<your-name>/<branch-slug>`; scope=`TODO`; action=`continue this sandbox or finish cleanup after a usage-limit/manual takeover`.
+- Copy prompt: Continue `agent-codex-drop-the-tab-strip-panel-exclusion-in-pl-2026-05-15-14-30` on branch `agent/<your-name>/<branch-slug>`. Work inside the existing sandbox, review `openspec/changes/agent-codex-drop-the-tab-strip-panel-exclusion-in-pl-2026-05-15-14-30/tasks.md`, continue from the current state instead of creating a new sandbox, and when the work is done run `gx branch finish --branch agent/<your-name>/<branch-slug> --base dev --via-pr --wait-for-merge --cleanup`.
+
+## 1. Specification
+
+- [x] 1.1 Finalize proposal scope and acceptance criteria for `agent-codex-drop-the-tab-strip-panel-exclusion-in-pl-2026-05-15-14-30`.
+- [x] 1.2 Define normative requirements in `specs/drop-the-tab-strip-panel-exclusion-in-plan-watcher-sh/spec.md`.
+
+## 2. Implementation
+
+- [x] 2.1 Implement scoped behavior changes.
+- [x] 2.2 Add/update focused regression coverage.
+
+## 3. Verification
+
+- [x] 3.1 Run targeted project verification commands.
+- [x] 3.2 Run `openspec validate agent-codex-drop-the-tab-strip-panel-exclusion-in-pl-2026-05-15-14-30 --type change --strict`.
+- [x] 3.3 Run `openspec validate --specs`.
+
+## 4. Cleanup (mandatory; run before claiming completion)
+
+- [ ] 4.1 Run the cleanup pipeline: `gx branch finish --branch agent/<your-name>/<branch-slug> --base dev --via-pr --wait-for-merge --cleanup`. This handles commit -> push -> PR create -> merge wait -> worktree prune in one invocation.
+- [ ] 4.2 Record the PR URL and final merge state (`MERGED`) in the completion handoff.
+- [ ] 4.3 Confirm the sandbox worktree is gone (`git worktree list` no longer shows the agent path; `git branch -a` shows no surviving local/remote refs for the branch).

+1. Keep checkpoints current in each role `tasks.md` and root `checkpoints.md`.
+2. Route unresolved questions and branching decisions into `open-questions.md`.
+3. Ensure each role has explicit acceptance criteria and verification evidence.
+4. Prevent implementation from starting before planning gates are complete.
+5. Keep handoffs concise: files changed, behavior touched, verification output, risks.
+
+## Wave-splitting decision (optional)
+
+Create wave prompts in `kickoff-prompts.md` only when at least one applies:
+
+- 3+ independent implementation lanes can run in parallel.
+- Runtime cutover/rollback sequencing needs explicit lane ownership.
+- Risk is high enough that bounded execution packets reduce coordination mistakes.
+
+If wave splitting is not needed, keep execution under a single owner with normal role checkpoints.
+
+## Exit criteria
+
+- All role checkpoints required for planning are done.
+- Execution lanes (if any) have clear ownership boundaries.
+- `open-questions.md` captures unresolved decisions that still need answers.
+- Verification plan and rollback expectations are explicit and testable.

+You are the `executor` role for OpenSpec plan `agent-codex-masterplan-drop-the-tab-strip-panel-exclusion-in-pl-2026-05-15-14-30`.

+## Objective
+
+Complete only this role's assigned checklist and leave compact evidence for the coordinator.

+
+## Before edits
+
+1. Confirm branch/worktree with `git status --short --branch`.
+2. Claim every touched file before editing:
+   - Prefer Colony `task_claim_file` when an active task exists.
+   - Otherwise run `gx locks claim --branch <agent-branch> <file...>`.
+3. Stay inside assigned files/modules; coordinate before touching shared paths.
+
+## Working rules
+
+- Update `executor/tasks.md` as each item completes.
+- Record durable unresolved questions in `open-questions.md`.
+- Keep handoffs short: files changed, behavior touched, verification, risks.
+- Do not revert another agent's edits.

+
+This ExecPlan is a living document. Keep `Progress`, `Surprises & Discoveries`, `Decision Log`, and `Outcomes & Retrospective` current as work proceeds.
+
+Follow repository guidance in `openspec/plan/PLANS.md`.
+
+## Purpose / Big Picture
+
+Describe what becomes possible after this plan is executed and how a user/operator can observe it working.
+
+## Progress
+
+- [ ] (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MMZ) Capture initial scope and acceptance criteria.
+- [ ] (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MMZ) Draft architecture/tradeoff plan and verification strategy.
+- [ ] (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MMZ) Finalize execution-ready handoff.
+
+## Surprises & Discoveries
+
+- Observation: _none yet_
+  Evidence: _n/a_
+
+## Decision Log
+
+- Decision: Use OpenSpec plan workspace as source of truth for this planning cycle.
+  Rationale: Keeps planning artifacts in-repo and reviewable.
+  Date/Author: YYYY-MM-DD / planner
+
+## Outcomes & Retrospective
+
+Summarize outcomes, gaps, and lessons learned when a milestone or the full plan is completed.
+
+## Context and Orientation
+
+Describe relevant modules, files, constraints, and assumptions for a newcomer. Use repository-relative paths.
+
+## Plan of Work
+
+Describe the sequence of edits and deliverables in prose. Name target files and expected effects.
+
+## Concrete Steps
+
+List exact commands with working directory and short expected outcomes.
+
+    cd /home/deadpool/Documents/codex-lb
+    openspec validate --specs
+
+## Validation and Acceptance
+
+State observable behavior and verification evidence required before execution handoff.
+
+## Idempotence and Recovery
+
+Document safe re-run behavior, rollback strategy, and failure recovery notes.
+
+## Artifacts and Notes
+
+Capture concise command output snippets, evidence pointers, and references.
+
+## Interfaces and Dependencies
+
+Name concrete interfaces/modules/dependencies and any required signatures/contracts.
+
+## Revision Note

+# planner Prompt
+
+You are the `planner` role for OpenSpec plan `agent-codex-masterplan-drop-the-tab-strip-panel-exclusion-in-pl-2026-05-15-14-30`.
+
+## Objective
+
+Complete only this role's assigned checklist and leave compact evidence for the coordinator.
+
+## Source of truth

+
+## Before edits
+
+1. Confirm branch/worktree with `git status --short --branch`.
+2. Claim every touched file before editing:
+   - Prefer Colony `task_claim_file` when an active task exists.
+   - Otherwise run `gx locks claim --branch <agent-branch> <file...>`.
+3. Stay inside assigned files/modules; coordinate before touching shared paths.
+
+## Working rules
+
+- Update `planner/tasks.md` as each item completes.
+- Record durable unresolved questions in `open-questions.md`.
+- Keep handoffs short: files changed, behavior touched, verification, risks.
+- Do not revert another agent's edits.

+## Cleanup
+
+Only the owner/finalizer lane runs `gx branch finish --branch <agent-branch> --base dev --via-pr --wait-for-merge --cleanup`. If blocked, append `BLOCKED:` with branch, task, blocker, next, evidence.
