Repo dev commands use checkout-local state by default. In this checkout, `PASEO_HOME` resolves to `.dev/paseo-home`, and `npm run cli -- ...` targets that same dev home automatically. The packaged desktop app and production-style daemon keep using `~/.paseo` on port `6767`.

`PASEO_HOME` is the directory that holds runtime state (agents, worktrees, workspace config, sockets, daemon log). Resolution rules:
- The **server itself** (e.g. when launched by the desktop app or `npm run start`) defaults to `~/.paseo` (see `packages/server/src/server/paseo-home.ts`).
- **Repo dev scripts** default to `$ROOT/.dev/paseo-home`, where `$ROOT` is the current checkout or worktree root. This keeps all dev state disposable with the checkout.
- **Repo dev scripts** default to `$ROOT/.dev/paseo-home`, where `$ROOT` is the current checkout or worktree root. This keeps all dev state scoped to the checkout instead of the packaged desktop app.
- **`npm run cli -- ...`** runs through the same dev-home wrapper as the dev scripts, so the in-repo CLI automatically targets the current checkout's `.dev/paseo-home` and configured dev daemon endpoint.
- **Paseo-created worktrees** seed `$PASEO_WORKTREE_PATH/.dev/paseo-home` from `$PASEO_SOURCE_CHECKOUT_PATH/.dev/paseo-home` by copying durable JSON metadata. Runtime files like pid files, sockets, and logs are not copied.

## CLI reference
Use `npm run cli` to run the in-repo CLI from source (`npx tsx packages/cli/src/index.ts`). 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.
