Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up: some tool names can still trigger exceptions instead of fallback handling, explicit null results can render incorrectly, and the status indicator may remain stale after connectivity changes. These are bounded plugin correctness and status issues rather than release-blocking risks. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Update reachability after transport failure and recovery.
engramReachable is only assigned during initOnce. After this transport failure, later lifecycle handlers can render ready from an earlier true value. After self-healing succeeds, it clears the UI but leaves an earlier false value, so later handlers render offline.
Set engramReachable to false before this throw. Set it to true when scheduleEngramSelfHeal observes a healthy server. Add regression coverage for both transitions.

Restrict tool configuration lookups to own keys.
The maps use direct property access. renderCallText("toString", {}) reaches inherited ARG_KEYS.toString, and compactToolArg then attempts to iterate it. This throws instead of using the unknown-tool fallback. The status maps have the same problem.

Preserve details.data: null as result data.
Line 47 treats null data as absent and returns the details envelope. For { details: { data: null } }, expanded rendering without a text block shows {"data":null} instead of the valid null response. Check whether data is an own property before falling back to details.
Proposed fix
export function resultData(result) {
- return result?.details?.data ?? result?.details ?? result;
+ if (result?.details && Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(result.details, "data")) {
+ return result.details.data;
+ }
+ return result?.details ?? result;
