Agent callers now stay in their current workspace unless --new-workspace explicitly requests a separate local or worktree workspace.

Use `npm run cli` to run the in-repo CLI from source (`npx tsx packages/cli/src/index.ts`). The script wraps the CLI with `scripts/dev-home.sh`, so it automatically uses this checkout's `.dev/paseo-home` and dev daemon endpoint unless you pass an explicit override. The globally installed `paseo` binary on macOS is a symlink into the installed Paseo desktop app, not this checkout — use it to drive the desktop's built-in daemon, but use `npm run cli` when you want to talk to the CLI you are editing.
Canonical automation uses `paseo workspace create/ls/archive`, `paseo heartbeat create/update/delete`, and the full `paseo schedule` group. MCP heartbeat automation is intentionally smaller: create and delete only. Detach remains an explicit user lifecycle action rather than an agent tool. `paseo run --isolation local|worktree` composes workspace creation with agent creation. The old `paseo worktree` and `paseo run --worktree` forms are hidden compatibility aliases.

From a human shell, a bare `paseo run` creates a new local workspace for the current directory. Use `--workspace <id>` to add the agent to an existing workspace, or `--new-workspace local|worktree` to explicitly create a separate workspace for the run.
Worktree creation accepts `--worktree-mode branch-off|checkout-branch|checkout-pr` plus the matching `--new-branch`/`--base`, `--branch`, or `--pr-number`/`--forge` options. Use `--worktree-slug` to choose the managed directory slug.
When an existing Paseo agent runs the same command, Paseo recognizes it through `PASEO_AGENT_ID`. Without explicit placement, the new agent becomes its subagent in the same workspace. `--workspace` can place that subagent elsewhere without changing its parent.
