Reasoning:\n- daemon-client.ts had transport construction, ws adapter, relay e2ee wrapper, encoding helpers, and core client behavior mixed in one class file.\n- extracted transport/encoding concerns to a dedicated module to reduce logic density and tighten boundaries while preserving runtime behavior.\n\nAccomplishments:\n- added packages/server/src/client/daemon-client-transport.ts with websocket transport factory, relay e2ee transport wrapper, and transport utility helpers.\n- kept daemon-client public transport type exports stable by re-exporting types from the new module.\n- removed duplicated helper implementations from daemon-client.ts and replaced them with imports.\n- added focused tests in packages/server/src/client/daemon-client-transport.test.ts for websocket adapter behavior and helper normalization/encoding paths.\n- validated with @getpaseo/server typecheck and targeted daemon-client test suite.\n\nChallenges / handoff notes for next agent:\n- daemon-client.ts is still large and retains agent config resolution + high-level RPC orchestration concerns; next safe split is request/response waiter coordination or terminal stream buffering into dedicated modules.\n- a pre-existing unrelated workspace modification remains in scripts/codex-refactor-loop.sh and was intentionally left untouched.
What changed:
- Added a private sendCorrelatedRequest helper in daemon-client to centralize requestId-correlated response selection.
- Migrated a large contiguous set of RPC methods to the helper: checkout/worktree/branch operations, file explorer/token/icon, provider+speech+commands RPCs, wait_for_finish, and terminal list/create/subscribe/kill/attach/detach.
- Preserved existing behavior including special-case filtering for checkout subscriptionId.
Reasoning:
- daemon-client had repeated type+requestId matching blocks across many methods, increasing maintenance cost and decision-point sprawl.
- This refactor keeps transport behavior unchanged while reducing duplicated control flow and making future RPC additions less error-prone.
Verification:
- npm run -w packages/server test -- src/client/daemon-client.test.ts
- npm run -w packages/server typecheck
- npm run typecheck
Notes for next agent:
- There are still many non-migrated sendRequest callsites in daemon-client (notably agent lifecycle/interaction and some status-typed selectors) that can be moved to the same helper in follow-up refactors.
- I hit TS generic narrowing limits while extracting the helper and solved it via a constrained correlated message type + explicit payload narrowing cast; behavior remains covered by existing daemon-client tests.
