Desktop logging reaches inherited stdout and stderr before the CLI guards run. A launcher that closes its output reader raised an uncaught EPIPE dialog. Handle closed console pipes at desktop startup while preserving console logging and surfacing other stream errors.

* fix(desktop): show the window when ready-to-show never fires on Linux
Reveal hidden Linux windows that do not receive an initial compositor frame.
* fix(desktop): open loaded Linux windows without waiting for a frame
A hidden Linux window can finish loading without painting, so waiting only for ready-to-show leaves the application invisible. Reveal the loaded document and retain the frame-ready path on other platforms.

* fix(desktop): preserve Linux sandboxing wherever the host allows it
Chromium checks its Linux sandbox before main.js, while package installation probes run as root and miss AppArmor restrictions on desktop users. Choose the launch flags before exec and always install the SUID alternative for native packages. Test published artifacts as an ordinary user with namespaces both denied and allowed; never repair permissions in the smoke harness.
* fix(desktop): retain the Linux release build baseline
* fix(ci): allow canceled desktop smoke uploads to stop
* test(desktop): verify the installed RPM sandbox under AppArmor
* fix(ci): resolve packaged desktop dependencies before installation
* chore(desktop): keep QA evidence out of the repository
The startup override replaced the bundle icon with a flat PNG even in packaged builds. Limit the override to development so macOS retains the bundle icon appearance.
* fix(desktop): restore macOS app updates
Electron 41's Squirrel helper can leave the update handoff dormant on current macOS, so Paseo quits cleanly but relaunches the old bundle. Electron 44 wakes ShipIt through its XPC service.
Include updater lifecycle events and ShipIt state in app diagnostics so future handoff failures identify the current version, target version, cache paths, and installer output.
* fix(desktop): harden updater diagnostics
Keep each ShipIt file's evidence available when another read fails, carry the service-selected version into updater lifecycle logs, and make clean workspace installs resolve the Electron runtime used by desktop tests.
* refactor(desktop): name updater install options
* refactor(desktop): name updater log payloads
* refactor(desktop): name clipboard payload
* fix(desktop): surface updater lookup failures
* test(desktop): await guest focus transition
* fix(desktop): guard macOS update compatibility
* test(release): validate desktop manifests before publish
* test(desktop): await populated daemon pid file
* feat(skills): manage orchestration skills per host
Agent skills execute on the daemon host, so their bundle, selection, and filesystem convergence must share that owner. Preserve the existing install semantics while letting every capable client manage the selected host and migrating the legacy desktop preference once.
* fix(client): keep skill management internal
Keep host skill management on the low-level daemon client used by the app. Do not expose daemon settings or the desktop-only compatibility migration through the shared Paseo API handed to plugins.
* fix(e2e): declare skills fixture dependencies
Use Playwright's required destructuring form for the test-scoped daemon sandbox fixture so CI can collect the real-host skills suite.
* test(skills): use native managed paths
Assert fixed skill targets relative to the daemon user's real home with platform-native path joining so the ownership contract holds on Windows and POSIX hosts.
Workspace terminal shutdown only signaled an npm wrapper, leaving Electron alive with broken output pipes. Make the signal-handling runner the terminal-owned process and route external Electron termination through the existing quit lifecycle.
Restore the Linux startup behavior that shipped in 0.2.3 by reverting the generalized sandbox detection from #2439.

* feat(desktop): open existing agents from links
Register a stable agent deep link and route it through the existing Desktop window. Add a matching CLI command that resolves the local server and activates the requested agent without creating or messaging it.
* fix(desktop): recover agent link delivery
* Reapply "Always revalidate desktop updates before install"
This reverts commit 623c05aa4d.
* fix(desktop): make update revalidation safe on quit
Updater-triggered quits now bypass normal quit handling, and manifest revalidation gives up after five seconds without allowing a late install.
* fix(desktop): preserve fail-closed update installs
Keep cached updates deferred when quit-time validation is offline, and report validation timeouts separately from superseded releases.
* fix(desktop): preserve updater quit behavior
Automatic installs remain silent without relaunching, updater handoff is bounded, and background preparation failures remain visible without pinning manifest checks.
* fix(desktop): keep AppImage updates manual
Preserve the AppImage safety exemption by skipping ordinary quit-time installation while retaining the explicit Update now path.
* fix(desktop): serialize update preparation
* fix(desktop): recognize macOS updater quit handoff
* fix(desktop): keep browser input out of the composer
Unhandled webview keys could be redispatched into the active host window, allowing agent Enter to submit a draft prompt. Give pages first refusal for ordinary shortcuts and contain automation at the guest boundary.
* fix(desktop): tighten browser shortcut validation
* fix(desktop): respect browser shortcut ownership
* fix(desktop): retain browser keys across windows
* fix(desktop): scope browser webviews by host
* Reshape browser shortcut ownership
Use the browser webview registry as the single guest identity authority, scope browser operations to their host window, publish chord continuations only while pending, and restore focus to the originating browser after command center dismissal.
* Fix host-scoped browser shortcut follow-ups
* Fix browser keyboard review follow-ups
* Fix browser keyboard lifecycle regressions
* Fix browser shortcut review regressions
* Fix desktop browser review regressions
* Fix browser shortcut frame regressions
* Fix rebase integration regressions
* Preserve browser-native shortcut ownership
* Isolate browser shortcuts and automation by context
* fix(desktop): keep sign-in popups connected
Turning every window-open request into a workspace tab severed the opener relationship required by popup authentication flows. Keep script-created and POST-backed opens as secured child windows while ordinary links continue to use workspace tabs.
* fix(desktop): keep Shift-click links in workspace tabs
Electron reports both popup windows and Shift-clicked links as new-window. Use popup features or a named target to preserve script popups without bypassing Paseo tab state for ordinary links.
* fix(desktop): tighten popup profile handling
* fix(desktop): preserve popup feature intent
* fix(desktop): match browser popup heuristics
* feat(desktop): open files in more installed editors
Detect bundled app commands as well as PATH launchers and preserve file positions through editor-specific launches.
* fix(desktop): preserve editor target compatibility
Keep existing file-manager preference ids, retain project context for file launches, and recognize Windows 64-bit IDE commands.
* test(desktop): exercise packaged app startup
The previous smoke exited before IPC, window creation, and preload execution, so a broken packaged preload could still pass. Launch the normal app and observe its renderer bridge and managed daemon through CDP instead.
* test(desktop): preserve Linux sandbox in smoke
Configure the unpacked artifact's chrome-sandbox helper with the permissions Electron requires, while keeping sandboxing enabled so preload failures remain observable. Bound startup probes and include process logs in daemon timeout failures.
* ci(desktop): keep packaged smoke on releases
Remove the temporary pull-request artifact build after it validated the Linux launch path. Keep the real packaged smoke in the native desktop release matrix.
* ci(desktop): gate packaged smoke by changes
Run the Linux real-artifact smoke in pull-request CI when packages/desktop changes, while leaving the regular desktop unit-test matrix unconditional.
* feat(desktop): share persistent browser data across tabs
Keep browser sign-ins and site storage across tabs and app restarts, with a Settings action to clear the shared profile.
* fix(settings): prevent duplicate browser data clears
* fix(desktop): complete browser data cleanup
Clear legacy per-tab profiles after upgrades and localize the browser data settings in every supported language.
* fix(desktop): close browser profile cleanup races
* feat(app): open a project with Cmd+O
Cmd+O now opens the project picker (was Cmd+Shift+O). New worktree,
which previously used Cmd+O, no longer has a keyboard shortcut; its
sidebar button still creates one.
* test(app): assert old Cmd+Shift+O open-project binding is unbound
Locks in the rebind to Cmd+O so re-adding a Cmd+Shift+O binding would fail CI.
* fix(app): keep Open project override id stable and forward Cmd+O in desktop browser
- Binding ids for Open project keep their original names so existing user
shortcut overrides (keyed by binding id) survive the Cmd+Shift+O -> Cmd+O rebind.
- Forward "o" from focused browser webviews in the desktop app so Cmd/Ctrl+O
reaches the renderer and opens the project picker there too.
* feat(browser): inspect, annotate, and grab page elements for the agent
Build a design-review flow on top of the in-app Electron browser so users
can send page elements to their coding agent with context.
- Annotate: pick an element, write a comment, choose an intent
(fix/change/question/approve); the element context + intent + comment go
to the agent as text, and a cropped screenshot rides along as an image.
- Grab: pick an element to copy its info + screenshot straight to the
system clipboard (no comment), with a toast on success/failure.
- Hover inspector: in select mode each element shows a floating label with
tag, id/class, React component name, and pixel size.
- Page markers: annotated elements on the current page get numbered badges
that track scroll/resize.
- Device sizes: a viewport-size menu (responsive + 13 common device presets)
renders the page centered in a fixed-size frame.
- Toolbar buttons now expose hover tooltips and no longer get squeezed out
on narrow panes; the element selector is available to all desktop users
(previously dev-only).
Screenshots and clipboard writes go through new Electron main-process IPCs
(capturePage + clipboard) so they work regardless of webview focus. Element
screenshots are referenced by id in the workspace attachment store and are
protected from the draft-store attachment GC. All new strings are
translated across the six supported locales.

* fix(browser): write element clipboard exactly once
Resolve the image before writing so a combined text+image grab no longer
does a redundant text-only writeText() first (which flashed an intermediate
clipboard state). Addresses greptile review feedback.

* i18n: add browser annotate/grab/devices strings for ja and pt-BR
main added Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese locales after this branch was

* Remove local diagnostics and fixture paths
* Fix dev service home fallback
* Use worktree home for dev services

* fix(browser): keep agent tabs addressable
Track agent-active browser targets separately from human-focused tabs and keep resident webviews alive for automation. Browser tool visibility now comes from registration while the broker reports disabled execution.
* refactor(browser): register tools through catalog
Move browser tool registration onto the shared Paseo tool catalog so the MCP server remains only the transport adapter.
* fix(settings): translate browser tools host error
* fix(daemon): log stop reasons and client identity
Record websocket client identity, process memory/uptime, and shutdown reasons across CLI, desktop, supervisor, and worker paths so daemon drops can be traced from the triggering client to worker termination.
* fix(daemon): keep shutdown diagnostics in sync
Test drift: supervisor and relay tests still asserted the old log text and metadata shape after shutdown diagnostics started logging structured reasons and relay connection ids. Update those assertions to the new diagnostic contract.
Also centralize client lifecycle reason normalization and derive desktop daemon stop reasons from one tuple so future changes cannot silently drift.
* Restart the GPU process to recover from macOS compositor freezes
macOS display sleep can leave Chromium's GPU-process display link stuck
on a stale display, so the compositor stops producing frames and the
window looks frozen — unresponsive to clicks and keys — even though the
renderer stays alive.
setupDarwinCompositorWatchdog polls the renderer for frame production
and, on a sustained stall while the window is visible and unlocked,
restarts the GPU process so Chromium rebuilds the display link. This
replaces setupDarwinPaintRefresh, whose invalidate/resize nudges did
not address the dead display link.

Replaces the hardcoded Copy/Paste/Select All menu with one driven by
ContextMenuParams: link items (Open in Browser, Copy Link Address),
image items (Copy Image, Save Image As), spellcheck suggestions, and
proper Cut/Copy/Paste in editable inputs. Both the main window and
the browser webview menus go through the shared helper.
MarkdownLink (web branch) now wraps its Pressable+Text in a real
<a href> with `display: contents` so Electron exposes linkURL on
right-click. Native branch is untouched.
* Replace skills auto-sync with explicit install/update/uninstall
Skills no longer sync silently on every desktop launch. Settings now
shows Install (fresh), Update (with a confirm dialog listing per-skill
add/update/delete ops), or Uninstall depending on what's on disk.
A manifest at ~/.agents/skills/.paseo-manifest.json tracks Paseo-owned
skills so uninstall removes only what we wrote, never user content.
Existing users migrate transparently — first read synthesises a
manifest from on-disk hashes, so an unchanged install flips silently
to up-to-date.
Also restructures the integrations layer: skills/ and cli-install/
each own their files behind a designed index.ts. The shared
integrations-manager.ts is gone.
* Rewrite skills install flow with disk-truth model
Drops the manifest sidecar, migration logic, and the
agentsDirHasSkillContent heuristic that misread user-authored skills
as Paseo content. Replaces them with a hardcoded PASEO_SKILL_NAMES
list (current bundle + paseo-chat for retired-skill cleanup); the
disk is the source of truth for what's installed.
Renames the SkillsState "fresh" → "not-installed" everywhere
(server, IPC parser, hook test mocks). Install and update share an
applySkills body. Errors propagate instead of being swallowed.
Fixes the case where Uninstall left state at "drift" because the
user had personal skills under ~/.agents/skills/.
* Stop symlinking claude skills, write real files
If the user has ~/.claude/skills symlinked to ~/.agents/skills, the
per-skill symlink path resolved through the parent symlink and fs.rm'd
the agents-side files we'd just written. Mirror real files to claude
the same way as codex; agents stays the canonical source-of-truth dir.
* Make Uninstall button visible (outline, not ghost)
* Fix desktop CLI passthrough tty handling
* Fix desktop daemon manager test drift
* Update daemon stop test after main merge
* test(cli): isolate npx cache per CLI test
Cmd+R was scoped through a stale Electron-side active browser value. Opening or focusing a browser pane set activeBrowserPaneId, but switching to an agent tab only updated workspace layout state. Electron still remembered the old browser and the app menu reloaded that hidden/previous browser instead of the app.
Make workspace layout the authority. Derive the active browser from focusedPaneId plus the focused pane's focusedTabId, and sync browserId|null to Electron from one WorkspaceScreen effect. BrowserPane no longer marks itself active from URL-bar or webview focus handlers, so call sites do not have to remember to clear Electron state when focus moves to an agent, terminal, or another pane.
Electron now treats the synced value as the workspace-active browser, not an independently observed focus source. Menu reload uses that workspace-derived browser when present; otherwise it reloads the app window. Direct Cmd+R events that originate inside a browser guest still reload that guest through the guest before-input-event path.
Browser webviews now own their guest context menu in the main process. Add copy/paste/select-all and a development Inspect Element action for attached browser guest WebContents.
DevTools opening is routed through the main process by browserId. Docked-right DevTools did not become visible for browser guest contents in practice, even though inspect mode activated, so the final behavior opens detached DevTools for both the toolbar button and Inspect Element. The renderer logs bridge/result failures, and main logs registration/open/inspect outcomes for future debugging.
Regression coverage is at the workspace layout derivation layer: focused browser id follows the focused pane's active browser tab and becomes null when the active tab is not a browser. Verified with targeted layout-store tests, navigation E2E, settings E2E, npm run typecheck, and npm run lint.
Adds a Service URLs setting (ask / in-Paseo / external browser) that
controls where URLs from running scripts open on desktop. First click
prompts with a "don't ask again" checkbox; in-Paseo opens a workspace
browser tab. Closing a browser tab now clears its session partition.
- Refresh icon: use single-arrow RotateCw instead of two-arrow RefreshCw
- URL bar selects all text on focus
- Cmd+R now reloads the active browser pane (tracked via IPC) when
the URL bar has focus, instead of reloading the Electron window
- Forward Paseo shortcut keys (b, e, w, t, k, /, \, comma, digits,
enter, arrows) from the embedded webview to the main window so
sidebar/tab/etc. shortcuts still fire when focus is inside the
loaded page
* feat: add browser pane element picker
Port the browser pane from PR #198 and route picked elements through workspace attachments so the context follows every agent composer in a workspace.

Skills installed via Paseo desktop never updated after first run, so
users were stuck on already-fixed skill content. On every launch, if
the paseo base skill is present in `~/.agents/skills/`, sync each
bundled skill (incl. `references/`) into agents, claude (via symlink/
junction), and codex — overwriting only files whose content differs.
Files on disk that are not in the bundle are left alone; deprecation
goes through tombstones (e.g. `paseo-orchestrate` redirects to
`paseo-epic`).
Also refreshes the bundled skill set: drops `paseo-chat`, adds
`paseo-advisor` and `paseo-epic`, and turns `paseo-orchestrate` into
a tombstone redirecting to `paseo-epic`.
Adds a desktop test job to CI on Ubuntu and Windows so the
junction/symlink path is exercised on both platforms.
The Linux wrapper renamed the executable to Paseo.bin and exec'd it with
--no-sandbox, which surfaced as Paseo.bin in the dock and process list on
Ubuntu. Drop the wrapper and the chrome-sandbox deletion entirely. .deb/.rpm
now ship chrome-sandbox SUID 4755 (electron-builder 26 default postinst,
matches VS Code) and run Paseo directly with the Chromium sandbox on.
AppImage cannot carry SUID, so --no-sandbox is now injected at runtime only
when process.env.APPIMAGE is set.
Fixes#602
Re #381
The before-quit handler preventDefaulted on every quit and re-fired
app.quit() from .finally. That re-entered Electron through the
window-all-closed gate, which on macOS is a no-op listener that
vetoes the quit — so the window closed but the process stayed up.
Use app.exit(0) to bypass the close → window-all-closed → will-quit
chain entirely. Also drop the daemon-stop NSAlert: with no parent
window it ran app-modal and stalled the child-process pipes for
'paseo daemon stop', so daemon shutdown waited on the user dismissing
the dialog. Replace it with an in-app overlay rendered in the renderer
via a paseo:event:quitting IPC event. Stop opening DevTools on dev boot.
Replace the async daemon status resolution during quit with a synchronous
PID file check, avoiding races when the event loop is shutting down. Show
a blocking dialog so users know the daemon is stopping. Add --kill-timeout
to the CLI stop command for the desktop app to control SIGKILL wait time.
Move daemon management and release channel settings out of the renderer's
AsyncStorage and into a desktop-owned settings store persisted by the main
process. Adds a "Keep daemon running after quit" option, a daemon lifecycle
section in settings, and a one-time migration of legacy renderer-owned
desktop settings.
