Found while testing v0.6.0, 2026-10-08.

devdesk attach --new|--rename|--end over ttyd lost its {"ok":true} reply about half the time (24-call probe: rename 6/6 lost, new 3/6, end 4/6). The action itself always happened. ttyd 1.7.7 sees the child exit and closes the WebSocket (often with close code 1006) before it has read the pty's last output.

Effect: the UI reported "no response" for renames, ends and creates that had in fact worked, and --existing/attach errors could vanish before the "reason is shown in the terminal" message appeared.

Fix: under ttyd (DEVDESK_VIA_TTYD=1, set by devdesk-serve), one-shot replies and dd_die wait up to DEVDESK_LINGER (1 s) for the browser to hang up; the client hangs up as soon as it has a complete reply. After the fix: 24/24 replies delivered, errors included.
