 ## [Unreleased]
 
+- Proposed web terminal integration-test repair ([#1135](https://github.com/BitterSecurity/Decepticon/pull/1135)): wait for the rendered session/composer and verify real PTY draft persistence plus no agent-run submission, instead of waiting forever for the retired `connected` footer label. Keep all timeouts and the actual terminal/server flow. No product behavior change or release.
+
 - Proposed workflow declared-edge commit validation ([#1131](https://github.com/BitterSecurity/Decepticon/pull/1131)): reject OPPLAN commits whose executable leaves declare no DAG edge (blocked_by, any_of or required_fact_ids) into stages named by the workflow's `depends_on` closure. The proof gate's reachable-leaf rule can never be satisfied for such edge-less plans, so they committed successfully and then blocked every objective transition and specialist dispatch with `workflow prerequisite stage incomplete on dependency path: <stage>` — observed live on 2.2.0 where an edge-less red-team plan completed its scope objective and then could not start the discovery stage, could not repair itself through `commit_opplan` (completed objectives are immutable) and burned the recursion budget in a rejection loop. The gate's proof semantics are unchanged; the failure now surfaces at commit time with an actionable message naming the objective, its stage and the missing prerequisite stages.
 
 - Proposed step-budget async middleware fix ([#1130](https://github.com/BitterSecurity/Decepticon/pull/1130)): add `awrap_model_call` to `StepBudgetMiddleware` with a shared `_budget_note` helper so the sync and async paths stay identical. On 2.2.0, any engagement run invoked asynchronously (LangGraph background runs) crashed in the `model` node with `NotImplementedError: Asynchronous implementation of awrap_model_call is not available`, because `decepticon/middleware/step_budget.py` defined only the sync `wrap_model_call` and langchain's `AgentMiddleware` base raises on the missing async variant. Verified against a live 2.2.0 stack: an MCP `start_engagement` run failed in ~1.2 s before the first model call; with the patch the same call reaches the model and runs normally. Add async unit tests mirroring the sync budget cases (warn at 80%, hard stop at 100%, silent under budget, sync/async parity).
