fix(android): restore image picker after Activity recreation (#7546)

Backport expo/expo#49634 to SDK 54 so retained launchers register
against the current Activity after their previous owner is destroyed.
Cover repeated recreation and replacement-before-destroy ordering with
native regression tests, and document the native rebuild requirement.

 Runtime ownership is resolved from explicit workspace ID and caller context, never from `cwd`. Workspace creation is a separate operation with `local | worktree` isolation; agent creation reuses that workspace unless a new workspace is explicitly requested.
 
+Setup belongs to the workspace, including combined workspace-plus-agent creation and the supported agent `worktree` request. Run setup through the workspace workflow before launching configured terminals or scripts. Setup output is read in the Setup panel from per-command snapshots; never produce setup chat timeline rows or concatenate command logs. Legacy agent `git`/`worktreeName` inputs and hidden MCP worktree placement are rejected with workspace-creation guidance. Existing wire schemas retain an empty combined-log string for parsing compatibility.
+
 Users can also detach an existing subagent from the subagents track. Detach is deliberately a manual lifecycle gesture, not an agent-facing MCP tool. It removes the parent and open-tab lifecycle labels: it does not stop, archive, move, or restart the agent. The agent keeps its current `cwd` and `workspaceId`, leaves the former parent's track, and behaves like a root agent for tab close, workspace activity, and future parent archive.
 
 `notifyOnFinish` defaults to `true` for agent-scoped creation and prompt follow-ups because most delegated work needs to report back to the creating agent. Set it to `false` only for truly fire-and-forget agents or prompts.

-For a production-ID release APK that local Android profiling tools can attach to:
+`build:apk` writes `artifacts/paseo-dogfood-universal.apk`; `build:apk:arm64` writes
+`artifacts/paseo-dogfood-arm64.apk`. Neither command launches or installs on a device. Both enable
+`PASEO_WATCHDOG_BUILD=1`, the production React profiling renderer, and Android's shell-profileable
+flag. These builds keep the production package ID (`sh.paseo`) and release optimizations. Use this APK for
+personal dogfooding. Android system-trace spans require the separate `PASEO_PROFILE_BUILD=1` flag;
+watchdog recording does not send duplicate spans to that sink by default. Normal store/release
+workflows leave diagnostics disabled.
+
+The older `android`, `android:development`, and `ios` commands remain aliases for development.
+`android:production` still builds and installs a release through Expo; use `build:apk` when you
+need an artifact. `android:clear` removes the generated Android project.
+
+Run `npm run test:android --workspace=@getpaseo/app` to prebuild Android and run native module unit tests. The app CI job runs this command with the Android toolchain.
+
+### Diagnostic logs without ADB
+
+In a dogfood build, open Android's Files app → Downloads → **Paseo diagnostics** and share all
+retained `.jsonl` files. No app screen, storage permission, or attached debugger is required.
+The recorder retains eight files of about 5 MiB each across reconnects and app restarts. Rotation
+replaces the oldest files, so collect them soon after reproducing a freeze. Uninstall/reinstall
+can leave older Downloads files that the new installation cannot manage.
+
+Each file identifies its build and session. Events include application-transport frame sizes and
+message/request IDs, connection transitions, parse/validation/dispatch spans, named React subtree
+render timings, and foreground JS heartbeat gaps. Payloads, passwords, and message contents
+are excluded; connection identifiers include host addresses. Each size has a unit: **bytes** when
+already available, otherwise **UTF-16 code units** for text. These are
+client transport observations, after relay decryption where applicable, not packet arrival times.
+
+The native recorder flags a heartbeat overdue by more than 500 ms (250 ms expected interval).
+A heartbeat gap bounds the unresponsive interval; it is not an exact blocked-stack duration.
+Backgrounding suspends detection. `js.stall.started` can be written while JS remains blocked;
+`js.stall.recovered` records the gap when JS resumes. Recovery can appear without a start event
+when JS resumes before the next native sampling tick. Process death leaves earlier files intact,
+but queued/unflushed records can be lost. A missing recovery event alone does not prove a crash.
+
+`react.render.slow` records subtree rendering taking at least 16 ms; one-second summaries include
+faster renders. Nested profiler timings overlap: don't add parent and child times. React's render
+measurements do not measure native layout/paint or the complete commit phase. `recorder.dropped`
+means the bounded queue overflowed; missing events in that interval must not be treated as absence
+of activity. Storage failure stops recording rather than blocking the app.
+
+For an ordinary release APK with system trace markers only:
 
 ```bash
 PASEO_PROFILE_BUILD=1 npm run android:production
 ```
 
-This keeps the `sh.paseo` package id, release Hermes bundle, and release optimizations. It adds
-`<profileable android:shell="true" />` and enables local Android trace markers for workspace mounts
-and daemon WebSocket traffic. The markers contain message types and sizes, never payload contents,
-and emit only while a system trace records the `sh.paseo` app (`perfetto -a sh.paseo ...`).
-
-Or from `packages/app`:
-
-```bash
-# Debug
-npx cross-env APP_VARIANT=development expo prebuild --platform android --clean --non-interactive
-npx cross-env APP_VARIANT=development expo run:android --variant=debug
-
-# Release
-npx cross-env APP_VARIANT=production expo prebuild --platform android --clean --non-interactive
-npx cross-env APP_VARIANT=production expo run:android --variant=release
-
-# Clear generated Android project
-rm -rf android

+Those markers emit only while a system trace records `sh.paseo` (`perfetto -a sh.paseo ...`);

+Client `addFilePanel` registrations become the body of a file tab. The tab stats the file, picks a
+panel, and mounts it with a `PluginFile` handle; the panel reads, shows its own `Loading`, writes,
+and resolves conflicts. The bar only switches panels and shows the dot the panel sets through
+`tab.setModified`. Built-in panels (Markdown, HTML, Image, and Source, Paseo's editor) take the
+same handle as plugin panels, so a fix to reading, watching, or writing lands in one place:
+`packages/app/src/file-panels/file/`. Do not add a host-side read or loading gate for one panel;
+make that panel faster instead. Source highlights a large file on native in idle-time slices,
+the lines around the opening line first.
+
+The handle checks every write against the version it last read or wrote, so two panels or a panel
+and an agent cannot silently overwrite each other. The daemon reports the file's kind (text,
+image, binary) with its stat from a bounded sniff, which is how Source claims text files without a
+read. See the [public file panel reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#file-panels) for
+the author API, selection, `DocumentFrame`, and the version requirement. The examples live in

 An agent with custom environment variables or user-configured MCP servers gets a dedicated OpenCode server. V2 supports session environment, but its MCP configuration remains location-scoped, so separate servers still prevent one agent from changing another agent's MCP setup. Configure custom MCP with `mcp.add`; do not follow it with `mcp.connect`, which only toggles config-backed servers.

 - Playwright specs that exercise only the daemon import `daemonTest` from the shared fixtures so they do not create a browser context or page.
 - Helpers that create projects or workspaces own those records until cleanup. Their clients remove the daemon project on close, and an automatic fixture fails any test that still leaks a project record. Deleting only the temporary directory is not cleanup. Agent helpers pass the intended `workspaceId` through to agent creation; they never infer ownership from `cwd`.

A generic TCP listener is not sufficient readiness evidence. The browser suite uses direct local daemon connections and does not start a relay. Automated Metro launches set `EXPO_UNSTABLE_HEADLESS=1` so Expo does not download the native DevTools shell into temporary test homes; its read-only cache breaks teardown. Browser fixtures and the standalone Electron browser runner share the developer-toast dismissal helper while retaining console logs.

 - The app Playwright harness boots on Windows as well as POSIX. Spawn Node entrypoints through `process.execPath`, not `npx` or `node_modules/.bin` shims: Node refuses to spawn `.cmd` or `.bat` without `shell: true`, and shell mode concatenates argv without escaping and sends kill signals to `cmd.exe` instead of the real child.
 - Teardown kills the process tree, because a Windows signal reaches only the direct child and leaves forked workers holding the listening port.
 - The `asdf`-backed local Elixir relay stays POSIX-only, so the `relay-deployment` Playwright project is unavailable on Windows.

+# Website translations
+
+paseo.sh is served in English and Simplified Chinese (`zh-CN`). This doc covers the website in `packages/website`. App UI translations are in [i18n.md](i18n.md).
+
+## URLs own the language
+
+- English pages keep their unprefixed paths. Every other language lives under its tag: `/docs/cli` and `/zh-CN/docs/cli` are the same page. `/en/...` is not a page.
+- The server renders the language in the URL. There is no browser-language detection or redirect, so a shared link always opens in the language it was shared in.
+- The language selector moves to the same page in the other language and keeps the query and hash. Every internal link on a page carries the page's language, so the choice sticks while the reader navigates. An explicit English URL always renders English.
+- The choice is not stored. A stored choice could only take effect by redirecting unprefixed URLs, which are the English pages. First-party links into the site carry the reader's language instead: `README.zh-CN.md` links to `/zh-CN/...`.
+- Routes live under `src/routes/{-$locale}/`. Build internal links with `localizePath` or `useLocalizePath` from `~/i18n`. Links inside Markdown are localized by `DocsMarkdown`. Files, `.md` sources, `llms.txt` and API endpoints keep one path for every language (`isPagePath`).
+- Give each page's `head` the language-neutral path through `pageMeta` (`src/meta.ts`). It writes the self canonical, the `hreflang` alternates with English as `x-default`, and `og:locale`. The sitemap in `vite.config.ts` lists the same alternates.

+| Plugin listings  | the plugin's `paseo-plugin.json` and `OVERVIEW.md` | `translations` and `OVERVIEW.zh-CN.md`, see `public-docs/plugins/publishing.md` |
+
+`en.json` types the keys, so typecheck fails when `zh-CN.json` misses one. A translation file is grouped with its English original by name (`src/markdown-content.ts`). A translation without an English original fails the build.
+
+Every first-party page has a translation. The changelog and plugin listings are the exceptions: a release or listing without one renders whole in English under a notice. Pages never mix languages paragraph by paragraph. Navigation order, categories and slugs always come from the English file's frontmatter.
+
+## Editing a translated doc
+
+Edit the English file and its `.zh-CN.md` in the same PR, and add the `.zh-CN.md` with any new page. Code blocks, commands, flags, config keys and links are copied verbatim, so code-only changes are a copy. Never delete a translation to get around an edit, and never leave one that describes behavior the English no longer has.
+
+Translated headings pin the English anchor with a trailing `{#id}`, so `/zh-CN/docs/cli#running-agents` lands on the same section as the English link:
+
+```md
+## 运行 Agent {#running-agents}
+
+:::example[回复 Slack 提及 {#answer-a-slack-mention}]
+```
+
+When you rename an English heading, change the `{#id}` in the translation to the new slug. `src/content-translations.test.ts` fails when a docs, blog, comparison or legal page has no translation, and when a translation's headings differ from the English in count, level, order or anchor. It cannot tell whether the prose under a heading is current. The `.md` source endpoints serve files verbatim, so `{#id}` shows there as written.
+
+## Chinese style
+
+- Keep code, commands, file paths, IDs, brand and product names, and command output in English.
+- Keep these terms in English: Agent, worktree, daemon, Provider, PR, diff, Composer, Hub, workflow, heartbeat, slug.
+- Translate these: workspace 工作区, host 主机, relay 中继, plugin 插件, skill 技能, review 审查, schedule 定时任务, orchestration 编排, configuration 配置, prompt 提示词, subagent 子 Agent.
+- Quote app UI labels with the app's Chinese wording from `packages/app/src/i18n/resources/zh-CN.ts`, such as **设置 → 插件**. Labels the app has not translated stay in English, as do labels in Hub, GitHub, Slack and Discord. Add the English label in parentheses only where readers search for it, such as an error message.
+- Put a space between Chinese and Latin text or numbers: `启动 Agent`, `共 3 个`.
+- Bold that ends in full-width punctuation does not render when Chinese text follows it directly: `**注意：**这里` shows the asterisks. Move the punctuation outside the bold (`**注意**：这里`).

-# About version clipping reproduction ([#4368](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/issues/4368))
-
-This is a diagnostic branch, with no production fix. The Android test compares
-React Native's measured box for `v0.12.0` with the native TextView layout that
-renders the same attributed text. It runs both ordinary and system-bold text.
-It does not turn off accessibility scaling or bold text.
-
-## Run the native test
-
-From the repository root, prepare a development Android project if necessary:
-
-```sh
-cd packages/app
-APP_VARIANT=development npx expo prebuild --platform android --no-install
-```
-
-In generated `android/app/build.gradle`, add:
-
-```groovy
-android.defaultConfig.testInstrumentationRunner = "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
-dependencies {
-    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.6.2'
-    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.2.1'
-}
-```
-
-Copy this test into the generated test source set, then build the app and tests:
-
-```sh
-mkdir -p android/app/src/androidTest/java/sh/paseo/diagnosis
-cp e2e/mobile/about-font-size/AboutFontWeightTest.java android/app/src/androidTest/java/sh/paseo/diagnosis/
-cd android
-APP_VARIANT=development ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug :app:assembleDebugAndroidTest \
-  -PreactNativeArchitectures=x86_64 --no-daemon --max-workers=2 -Dorg.gradle.parallel=false
-adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
-adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/app-debug-androidTest.apk
-adb shell am instrument -w -e class sh.paseo.diagnosis.AboutFontWeightTest \
-  sh.paseo.debug.test/androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner
-```
-
-The test requires Android 12 or later for `fontWeightAdjustment`. The native
-contexts set that adjustment to 0 and 300 independently; they do not change the
-device setting. The selected device's density and font scale still apply.
-
-On Android 16 at 540 dpi and 2× font scale, both contexts receive a 301×123-pixel
-box. The ordinary-weight control passes, with one rendered line. The bold test
-fails with two rendered lines, so the final digit falls outside the allocated
-single-line height. This isolates the measurement/rendering disagreement from
-the About row's flex layout. A native dependency/build decision is still needed
-before implementing a fix; changing an About-row style would leave the producer
-of the incorrect measurement in place.
-
-## UI comparison
-
-Observed on Android 16, with current main's JavaScript and a freshly built native
-development app: open Settings → About with 2× system font scale and 540 dpi on

+# Native retained status-ring regression
+
+This runs the production native ring and clock inside real retained panels with
+Reanimated on Android. A probe consumes the same public rotation hook and counts
+UI-runtime value changes. No Reanimated mocks or provider processes are used.
+
+Use an Android development client compatible with the checkout's native dependencies.
+In a disposable checkout, temporarily replace `packages/app/index.ts` with:
+
+```tsx
+import "./src/polyfills/install-early";
+import "./src/styles/unistyles";
+import { registerRootComponent } from "expo";
+import NativeRingRegression from "./e2e/mobile/status-ring/native";
+registerRootComponent(NativeRingRegression);
+```
+
+Start Metro in `packages/app`:
+
+```sh
+APP_VARIANT=development npx expo start --localhost --port 8096
+```
+
+With one Android emulator running, open that bundle:
+
+```sh
+agent-device open sh.paseo.debug 'exp+voice-mobile://expo-development-client/?url=http%3A%2F%2F10.0.2.2%3A8096' --platform android --session status-ring --metro-port 8096
+```
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```sh
+node packages/app/e2e/mobile/status-ring/android.mjs status-ring http://127.0.0.1:8096
+```
+
+The test checks visible rotation, hidden-panel inactivity while another ring is
+visible, inactivity with both panels hidden, and synchronized resumption. Each
+sample reads counters on the UI runtime; elapsed time includes device-command
+latency. The baseline fails at the first hidden-panel assertion.
+
+Restore the original `packages/app/index.ts`, close the agent-device session,
+and stop Metro afterward. The fixture substitutes running rings for a live agent
+and toggles retained panels directly; it does not exercise workspace navigation
+or measure whole-app CPU usage. It is excluded from routine unit tests because
+it requires a native runtime.
