* Keep connections alive through brief daemon slowdowns
The active connection's liveness check was a side effect of the
candidate-probe loop: a single 5s latency measurement doubled as the
death timeout, so a daemon that was alive but briefly stalled (e.g. a
busy event loop) was misread as dead and the connection was torn down.
Give DaemonClient its own self-scheduling heartbeat that solely owns
liveness (15s timeout, 2 consecutive misses), and make the probe
read-only on the active connection — it reads the heartbeat's last RTT
instead of pinging. Split the shared ping into a pure measurement path
(measureLatency) and a private liveness path, so nothing outside the
client can drive teardown.
* Don't let a candidate latency timeout count as a liveness failure
The heartbeat (livenessPing) and candidate ranking (measureLatency) share
one in-flight ping slot. If a heartbeat tick lands while a candidate
measurement is still in flight, the heartbeat dedupes onto it — and a
measurement timeout was then recorded as a liveness failure, nudging the
connection one step closer to a spurious teardown.
Tag each ping with whether its timeout may drive a liveness failure
(only the heartbeat sets it) and gate recordLivenessFailure on that flag,
so an adopted measurement probe can never contribute to teardown.
The new-workspace composer uses preserve-and-lock: it keeps the typed
text through workspace creation so it survives a failure. But the input
minimized its height on every submit, collapsing a multi-line draft to
one line while the text and loading spinner remained — clipped and ugly.
Gate the height-minimize on the same condition that clears the text, so
the box only collapses when the text actually goes away (agent panel),
not when it's preserved (new-workspace).
Picks up the snapshot reflow-after-resize fix from 4cc72a84e, whose
source change to renderTerminalSnapshotToAnsi (scrollback/grid wrap
flags) was never rebuilt into this generated bundle. Pure regeneration
via build-terminal-webview-html.mjs — no hand edits. The esbuild
module-path comment churn is cosmetic, from workspace dependency
resolution paths.
Hide the kind icon entirely when a workspace is idle, and give the
attention state a standalone dot instead of overlaying it on the icon.
Restructure the row into an icon column plus a content column so the
subtitle and PR badge align under the title without hardcoded indents.
Derive app keyboard offsets from one provider-owned shared value so chat content, composer surfaces, and floating panels share the same policy.
Treat progress-zero keyboard samples as closed, even if Android reports a stale nonzero height.
Metadata prompts (workspace title + branch, commit message, PR) mixed the
functional contract with style guidance in one block, and project-owner
instructions from paseo.json were appended after the defaults with an
"override where they conflict" notice — so custom wording competed with the
built-in style instead of replacing it.
Each prompt is now a non-overridable contract (what to produce, the JSON
shape, correctness/safety rules) plus style slots that paseo.json
instructions replace wholesale. Title and branch style are now separate
keys (metadataGeneration.title vs .branchName); previously branchName
instructions also shaped the title.
Auto-generated titles were full sentences that overflowed the sidebar.
The titling prompt now targets ~4 words, drops generic "do" verbs (Fix,
Add, Diagnose...), and keeps only specific operation verbs, with good and
bad examples.
* fix(desktop): disable auto-install on quit for AppImage only
electron-updater's AppImageUpdater.doInstall() uses execFileSync with APPIMAGE_EXIT_AFTER_INSTALL when autoInstallOnAppQuit is true. For AppImages, this blocks the old process indefinitely because the new process has no installer step to exit from — the mv already completed the install.
Scoped to AppImage only (process.platform === 'linux' && process.env.APPIMAGE). .deb/.rpm/Windows/macOS keep auto-install-on-quit working as before.
* fix(desktop): keep AppImage filename stable across updates
electron-updater renames a versioned AppImage to a new path on update and
unlinks the old one. That orphaned the previous binary, broke desktop
shortcuts, and dangled the ~/.local/bin/paseo CLI symlink, which points at
$APPIMAGE. Dropping ${version} from the AppImage artifactName makes the
updater overwrite the file in place instead; deb/rpm keep versioned names.
Also documents why AppImage must not auto-install on quit (the blocking
execFileSync gated on APPIMAGE_EXIT_AFTER_INSTALL, honored only by
AppImageLauncher) and extracts that gate into a unit-tested helper.

The local/worktree choice was unstored component state and reset on every
remount of the New Workspace screen (e.g. after creating a workspace).
Persist it in the create-form preferences (FormPreferences.isolation).
Also rename the app-layer "backing" to "isolation" to match its UI label.
Isolation is the create-time intent; it stays distinct from workspaceKind,
the git-derived persisted property, and the wire's source.kind.
The agent-facing MCP server (/mcp/agents) ran in stateful session mode,
keeping a StreamableHTTPServerTransport plus its full Server and Zod tool
schemas alive per agent connection, keyed by session id. The map was only
pruned on the SDK's onclose/onsessionclosed callbacks, which fire only on a
clean DELETE. Agents that are killed or exit without one never get reaped, so
dead sessions accumulate for the life of the daemon (observed ~77MB across 132
stale transports in a heap snapshot).
Listing and calling tools needs no cross-request state, so each request now
builds a fresh server + transport and tears both down when the response closes.
Per-request cost is ~0.6-0.9ms and ~760KB of short-lived allocation; nothing is
retained between requests. GET and DELETE return 405, which the MCP client
tolerates (it never receives a session id).
* Name agents by their first prompt line instead of an LLM summary
The workspace title already captures the task; the LLM-generated agent
title just restated the same prompt. Drop the generator and keep the
provisional title (first prompt line), so the agent label stays
deterministic and explicit titles still win.
* Remove the no-op agent-title setting and leftover generator plumbing
Deleting the agent-title generator left its whole surface dangling: a
configurable "Agent titles" project setting that no longer did anything,
dead create-path plumbing, generator-only import/MCP deps, and the mock
provider's agent-title parser. Remove all of it, plus a dead test mock
and timing sleeps that guarded the deleted background job. Replace them
with a no-mock lifecycle test asserting the title stays the first prompt
line across create and settle.
Old paseo.json files with metadataGeneration.agentTitle still parse via
schema passthrough — see COMPAT(projectMetadataAgentTitle).
* Remove a worktree when its last workspace is archived
Archiving is now workspace-centric: the UI always archives a workspace,
and a worktree's directory is removed only when its last referencing
workspace is archived (derived from ownership + a single reference
count). The "remove the worktree from disk?" prompt is gone; archiving
warns only when the workspace is dirty or has unpushed commits.
MCP archive_worktree and the CLI keep the explicit lower-level behavior:
archive every workspace backing the directory, then remove it.
Auto-archive-after-merge and create-agent auto-archive respect the
reference count like any other workspace archival.
The policy now lives in two modules - a server archive service and a
client archive hook - with the reference-count check in exactly one
place. The deleteWorktreeFromDisk request field is retained but ignored
for wire back-compat.
* Tidy archive-policy internals and close test gaps
Follow-up polish on the archive-policy consolidation; no behavior change.
Structure: the server archive service is renamed to reflect that it now
owns all archive policy (the file and its types no longer say "worktree"
where they mean "archive"); the client archive input derives the
workspace kind from the canonical type instead of re-listing it; the
not-found target is typed string|null instead of an empty-string
sentinel; a redundant workspace-update emit and the ambiguous
worktrees-root naming are cleaned up. Wire, SDK, and keybinding names are
deliberately left unchanged for back-compat.
Tests: re-home the archiving-state lifecycle and per-workspace snapshot
assertions; pin worktree-kind acceptance through archive_workspace, the
ignored deleteWorktreeFromDisk field, and three-workspace archive-all;
add a Playwright spec for the dirty/unpushed worktree archive flow (the
warning gates it, confirming removes the directory) and the bulk
remove-project confirm branch.
* Fix the hanging worktree-archive risk-warning e2e spec
The spec added in the previous commit hung deterministically, locally and
in CI. Two test-only bugs, no product change.
The archive click opens a synchronous window.confirm(); the spec
registered a passive dialog waiter but only dismissed the dialog after
awaiting the click, so the click never resolved (Playwright won't settle
a click while a dialog is open) - a circular wait. Answer the dialog
inline via page.once("dialog", ...) before the click resolves, matching
the proven worktree-archive spec.
The seed also committed on a never-pushed branch, so aheadOfOrigin was
null and the "1 unpushed commit" warning never appeared. Push the branch
to set its upstream before the local commit, so it reports exactly one
unpushed commit.
Verified: the spec now passes in ~6s (was a 45s timeout); both the
dismiss-gates and accept-removes paths run.
Cmd+N (Ctrl+N off mac) navigates to the new-workspace route through a
global handler keyed on the active host. The sidebar header row surfaces
the shortcut hint on hover, replacing the redundant "+" button that
duplicated the action in the Workspaces section header.
The hover card was previously gated to open only when a PR hint or diff
stat was available. It now opens on every desktop-web workspace hover so
users can see the workspace name, branch, and working directory. The CWD
is shortened using the existing shortenPath helper (/Users/... -> ~).
Agent project-placement and the fetch/list grouping still resolved a
workspace from the agent's directory, even though every agent now
carries a workspaceId. Walk workspaceId -> workspace -> project instead:
an agent whose cwd is shared with or nested under another workspace now
groups under its own workspace, not a directory-prefix match. The fetch
path's placement map is keyed by workspace id, closing the
same-directory collision.
resolveWorkspaceIdForPath survives only at the archive-by-path boundary
(auto-archive-on-merge, the MCP archive tool), where a client passes a
bare worktree path with no id; renamed to match that role.
- Add DropdownTrigger and ComboboxTrigger with an overridable chevron slot and a 1 px translateY caret nudge for consistent vertical alignment.
- Convert text-based dropdown/combobox triggers across model selector, agent controls, mode control, settings, and new workspace to use the shared components.
- Lay out New Workspace arguments horizontally on desktop without labels while keeping the mobile vertical stack; align the project icon left edge with the title.
Multiple workspaces can share one checkout directory. Agent and terminal
status, sidebar tabs, and ownership now attribute strictly by workspace ID,
so a running or blocked agent in one workspace no longer shows up on its
same-directory siblings.
A one-time startup migration backfills workspace IDs onto legacy agents, and
every agent and terminal is created with one thereafter. Directory lookups
remain only for genuinely folder-derived git facts (branch, diff) and the
archive-by-path adapter.
A finished or input-waiting terminal shows an attention indicator. The
focus heartbeat already asked the daemon to clear it, but the clear was a
no-op: it guarded on activity state === "attention", while the real
tracker encodes attention as state "idle" plus an attentionReason
("finished" / "needs_input"). The state is never literally "attention",
so the indicator only ever cleared when the agent started a new turn.
The worker proxy also had no way to reach the tracker's clearAttention():
it only spoke setActivity, and setActivity("idle") is short-circuited by
the tracker while a "finished" reason is set. Add a clearAttention worker
message that calls the existing manager.clearTerminalAttention(), and
guard both clear paths on attentionReason instead of state.
Any new-tab target (new agent, terminal, browser, or a terminal profile)
can be pinned as a quick-launch button. Pins are global client app state
(persisted), not daemon config, so the same set shows on every workspace;
profile pins resolve per host and are dropped where that profile is absent.
The sidebar mirror launches via a navigate-then-launch intent store rather
than calling the create handlers directly: terminal creation only works in
the mounted/focused workspace, so the sidebar requests the launch and the
workspace screen consumes it on focus.
getTerminals was the only terminal read that round-tripped the terminal
worker process. Under load the IPC call could hit its 10s timeout, and
the rejection from a fire-and-forget workspace-update emit propagated as
an unhandled rejection — taking down the whole daemon.
The daemon already maintains an authoritative mirror of terminal state
(every other read is served from it), so getTerminals now reads that
mirror locally, preserving the worker's descendant-path aggregation and
absolute-path guard. The getTerminals worker IPC request is removed
entirely, so no terminal read can stall on the worker anymore.
Also adds a defensive .catch to the two fire-and-forget workspace-update
sites, and hoists the duplicated assertAbsolutePath guard into one shared
helper in path-utils.
