fix(app): keep split dividers under gesture input

Measure the gesture from its initial press so activation does not discard the movement before its threshold. Cover coarse-pointer mouse and touch input alongside app-created workspaces, Explorer changes and reload.

+description: Refresh the App Store and Google Play screenshots for phones and tablets. Use when the user says "store screenshots", "app store screenshots", "play store screenshots", "iPad screenshots", "recapture the screenshots", or wants the store panels changed.
+user-invocable: true

+
+# Store screenshots
+
+Follow `assets/store-screenshots/README.md`. It owns the panels, the creative direction, the render command and the recapture steps. Change copy, crops and layout in `assets/store-screenshots/render.mjs`, not in the exports.
+
+Working rules:
+
+- Capture at native density: `--pixel-density 3` on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, `--pixel-density 2` on the iPad Pro 13-inch. The default is 1x, which is too soft for the store.
+- Every headline wraps to two lines and every subline fits on one. The renderer enforces this; rewrite the copy rather than shrink the type.
+- Use SF Pro. Never substitute another font.
+- Open `output/preview.png` and a full-size panel from each store before you report a render. Show the user the preview.
+- Do not upload screenshots to a store, a PR, or anywhere public, and do not commit, unless the user asks.
+- Stage the demo host on its own port and pick a free Metro port. Do not restart the main daemons.
+- When you learn something the next capture needs, fix the README rather than this skill.

 # Changelog
 
+## 0.14.0-beta.1 - 2026-10-27
+
+Plugins can now add tools to individual agents and configure their MCP servers when sessions open.
+
+Completed conversation turns can be collapsed into summaries and expanded to read the full exchange.
+
+Voice settings now let you configure speech providers and download local models with one tap, including SenseVoice and Whisper for Chinese dictation. Voice mode is now opt-in.
+
+### Added
+
+- Copy gitignored files selected by `.worktreeinclude` into new worktrees before setup and agents, using the built-in `worktree-include` plugin ([#8100](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8100))
+- Let plugins choose worktree paths and creation options through `worktree.create.before`, with listing, archive, deletion, and recovery at custom locations; includes a sibling-directory placement example ([#8117](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8117))
+- Let plugins give tools to specific agents ([#7938](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/7938))

+Five panels for the App Store and Google Play, in phone and tablet sets, made from native captures of the real app. Both sets tell the same story with the same copy; only the capture, the device frame and the callouts change.
+
+| #   | Headline                                | Capture                                                                | Phone callout                                | Tablet callout                        |

+
+On tablets, panel 2 says "on your tablet" and panel 3 calls the popover a panel. A scene overrides its copy per device in `render.mjs`.
+
+## Creative direction
+
+The panels follow paseo.sh:
+
+- **Canvas:** the site's `#101615` background.
+- **Type:** centred SF Pro headlines in sentence case, with no closing period. Every headline wraps to exactly two lines.
+- **Sublines:** one plain grey sentence on one line that says what you can do. The renderer fails if a headline or subline wraps differently, because the device is placed from that fixed text height.
+- **Agent marks:** panel 1 scatters faded, rotated, monochrome marks of the agents featured on the homepage behind the device. They are rendered from `packages/website/src/components/agent-icons.tsx`, so they follow the site.
+- **Device:** dark-mode captures in a plain black frame; the iPhone frame has a Dynamic Island. The device starts a fixed gap below the text and runs just off the bottom edge, so a taller canvas gets a larger device instead of a larger gap. A canvas too narrow for that, like a 3:4 iPad on Google's 9:16 tablet canvas, shows the whole device at full width with the text and device centred.
+- **Callouts:** a callout lifts one region of a capture out of the device, larger than the device around it, so the detail reads at store thumbnail size. On tablets, place callouts over empty screen so they do not hide the context they explain.
+
+Everything on screen is real app UI showing one story. The hero agent adds jitter to the reconnect backoff in this repository. Its diff, test run and terminal come from a real worktree. The other workspaces fill the sidebar's status groups.
+
+Panel 3 shows a real plugin. `demo/preview-deploys/` is a trusted local plugin that adds a Deploys composer pill; its popover opens as a sheet on phones and as a popover on tablets. The deploys it lists are sample data. The demo host installs it, and a scripted agent in the "Build a preview deploys plugin" workspace plays the turn that writes it.
+
+## Files
+
+- `raw/iphone/`: native 1320 × 2868 captures from an iPhone 16 Pro Max simulator. `files.png` and `plugin-sheet.png` are the sources for the Jump to file and Preview deploys callouts.
+- `raw/ipad/`: native 2064 × 2752 captures from an iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) simulator. `plugin-sheet.png` is the source for the Deploys popover callout.
+- `render.mjs`: the layout, copy and callout crops. Edit `SCENES`, `DEVICES` and `STORES` there.
+- `demo/`: the staged demo host the captures come from.
+- `output/apple/`: 1320 × 2868 for the iPhone 6.9-inch slot.
+- `output/google/`: 1440 × 2560 (9:16) phone screenshots, reusing the iPhone captures.
+- `output/apple-ipad/`: 2064 × 2752 for the iPad 13-inch slot.
+- `output/google-tablet/`: 1800 × 3200 (9:16) tablet screenshots, reusing the iPad captures.
+- `output/preview.png`: contact sheet with one row per store, for review only. It is ignored by Git; do not upload it to a store.
+
+All exports are opaque RGB PNGs.
+
+## Render
+
+```sh
+SF_FONT_DIR=/path/to/fonts node assets/store-screenshots/render.mjs
+```
+
+`SF_FONT_DIR` must hold `SFNS.ttf` copied from a Mac's `/System/Library/Fonts`. On macOS the renderer finds it without the variable. SF Pro is not redistributable, so it is not in the repository. The renderer fails rather than fall back to another font.
+
+Each capture and callout is resized with Lanczos to the exact pixels it fills, and the page renders at device scale 1. Do not render at a higher scale and downsample: Chrome's image downscaling is what made earlier exports look soft and aliased.
+
+Open `output/preview.png` and at least one full-size panel per store before you call a render done. The line guard catches wrapping, not a callout that covers the wrong thing.
+
+Callout crops are in native capture pixels. To find them, overlay a 100 px grid on the capture with sharp and read the coordinates off it.
+
+## Recapture
+
+1. Stage the demo host. It runs an in-process daemon on port 7791 with scripted Claude Code and Codex clients, a local clone of this repository as the `paseo` project, real worktrees, and a terminal in the hero worktree:
+
+   ```sh
+   npx tsx assets/store-screenshots/demo/stage.mts
+   ```
+
+   Each run re-clones the repository into the demo home, so stale worktrees from an earlier run do not block it. The hero agent is paced so it reports a realistic "Worked for" time. Wait for `READY` in its output.
+
+2. Start Metro against it on a free port. When the simulator runs on another Mac, forward Metro and the daemon to it. Other agents may already hold a Metro port; pick another one rather than stopping theirs.
+
+   ```sh
+   EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=127.0.0.1:7791 npm run start:expo --workspace=@getpaseo/app -- --port <port>
+   ssh -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -R <port>:127.0.0.1:<port> -R 7791:127.0.0.1:7791 <mac-host>
+   ```
+
+3. On the simulator, install and open the dev client (`sh.paseo.debug`) at `http://127.0.0.1:<port>`. Use an iPhone 16 Pro Max for the phone set and an iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) in portrait for the tablet set.
+   - Set dark appearance and override the status bar to 9:41 with full battery and signal (`xcrun simctl status_bar <device> override`).
+   - On first launch, accept the open-in-app dialog, decline notifications, turn off the dev client's Tools button, and close any error toast. `agent-device react-native dismiss-overlay` clears overlays.
+   - Name the host "MacBook Pro" and set the sidebar badge to Hidden.
+   - Group the sidebar by status.
+   - If you reset the simulator, reinstall the dev client.
+
+4. Capture the sidebar first. Opening a "Ready to review" workspace marks it done. Select a Working row before you capture.
+
+5. Capture every screen at native density. `agent-device screenshot` defaults to 1x, which is too soft for the store:
+
+   ```sh
+   agent-device screenshot /tmp/sidebar.png --pixel-density 3 --session store   # iPhone: 1320 × 2868
+   agent-device screenshot /tmp/sidebar.png --pixel-density 2 --session store   # iPad: 2064 × 2752
+   ```
+
+   - **Chat:** expand the tool-call group and scroll to the bottom. On iPad, open Explorer → Changes beside the chat.
+   - **Diff:** on iPhone, Explorer → Changes, then use Jump to file to reach `daemon-client.ts`. On iPad, collapse the sidebar, open a Diff tab from the main area's **+** menu and scroll to the `daemon-client.ts` hunks.
+   - **Terminal:** the second workspace tab. Type the commands with `npm run cli -- terminal send-keys --host 127.0.0.1:7791 <terminal-id> "<text>" Enter` instead of the simulator keyboard, then dismiss the software keyboard.
+   - **Plugin:** the "Build a preview deploys plugin" workspace with the turn collapsed, then tap **Deploys** for `plugin-sheet.png`. After editing the plugin, reload it with `npm run cli -- plugin reload --host 127.0.0.1:7791 preview-deploys`.
+
+6. Copy the captures into `raw/iphone/` or `raw/ipad/` under the names `render.mjs` uses, render, and check the preview.
+
+Dimensions are checked against [Apple's screenshot specifications](https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/app-information/screenshot-specifications/) and [Google Play's preview asset requirements](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9866151?hl=en).

Providers emit a separate descriptor and timeline stream through `agent.provider_subagents.*`; the client keeps that state outside the normal agent store and merges only the presentation rows into the track.

-The list+detail pattern is canonical and reused across surfaces. The settings shell (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx`) and the projects screen (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`) implement it identically:
+Use `md: 600` for both the compact/wide layout boundary and responsive density, in logical points on native and CSS pixels on web. Do not add a separate density breakpoint. Measured content constraints remain independent: composer controls use `COMPACT_CONTENT_WIDTH` (500), so a narrow pane can keep compact controls inside a wide window.
+
+The settings shell (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx`) and the projects screen (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`) share the canonical list+detail navigation pattern:
 
 - On compact: full-screen list with `<BackHeader>` at the top. Tapping a row pushes a full-screen detail with its own `<BackHeader>` that returns to the list.
-- On desktop: a 320px sidebar on the left holds the list with `surfaceSidebar` background. The content pane on the right holds the selected detail with `<ScreenHeader>`, `<HeaderIconBadge>`, and `<ScreenTitle>`.
+- On wide layouts: a sidebar on the left holds the list with `surfaceSidebar` background. The content pane on the right holds the selected detail with `<ScreenHeader>`, `<HeaderIconBadge>`, and `<ScreenTitle>`.
 
 The branching is one `useIsCompactFormFactor()` check at the top of the screen component. The list and the detail are the same components in both layouts; only the framing changes.
 
 The workspace screen (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`) follows a different but parallel rule: tabs collapse on compact, panes split on desktop. The sidebar (`packages/app/src/components/left-sidebar.tsx`) is overlaid on compact and pinned on desktop.
 
-On a narrow desktop route, app navigation yields to the rendered content topology when the remaining width cannot preserve its center target: Settings keeps its 320px list + 400px detail split, and a workspace Explorer keeps its current visible width plus a 400px center pane. That is a topology decision at the app container, not a second compact breakpoint. Temporary width clamps are render-only; widening restores the user's saved sidebar widths.
+On a narrow window using the wide layout, app navigation yields when the remaining width cannot accommodate the content topology. Settings prefers a 720px split (320px list + 400px detail); its list shrinks first to keep forms readable without reducing the detail below 400px. Explorer reserves at least 240px plus a 360px workspace. These are local space budgets, not compact breakpoints. The app sidebar shrinks from its preferred 320px toward a 200px minimum to leave a 400px center target; its preferred width fits at 720px. Temporary width clamps are render-only; widening restores the user's saved sidebar widths.
 
-Electron window controls are top-corner obstructions, not a compact-layout condition. Rendered surfaces declare which top corners they physically occupy; only those corners receive clearance. Full-window overlays redeclare both corners. A focused split pane owns both corners; if focus restoration temporarily exposes the full split tree, the split boundary reserves one top strip instead of assigning a control rectangle to an arbitrarily narrow leaf. The 720px desktop breakpoint preserves the default 320px sidebar and target 400px center width when the Explorer is closed; it is product policy, not an obstruction gate.

+# Terminal worker
+
+Every terminal's PTY lives in the terminal worker, a process separate from the daemon. The worker outlives the daemon, so restarts, crashes and upgrades keep terminals running. This doc covers what the code can't tell you: why the process model is shaped this way, the rules nothing enforces, and the known limits.
+
+## Process model
+
+```
+supervisor (paseo.pid) ──► daemon worker ──► launcher ──► terminal worker ──► PTY programs
+                                                exits      (re-parented to init)
+```
+
+- The daemon starts the worker through a launcher (`terminal-worker-process.ts --launch`). The launcher spawns the worker `detached`, waits for `ready` on fd 3, prints the pid and exits, so the worker is re-parented and leaves the daemon's process tree. The supervisor's forced kill uses `tree-kill`, which walks parent pids: a worker that stayed a child, even detached, would die with a hung daemon.
+- The worker talks to one daemon at a time over a local socket (named pipe on Windows). Losing the daemon means "no controller", not exit: PTYs keep running, events are dropped, and the headless terminal keeps the screen for the next daemon's `listTerminals`.
+- A socket disconnect triggers reconnection to the same worker and a screen replay. Only confirmed process death retires its sessions; the next terminal creation shares one replacement launch. Dead-worker cleanup stays scoped to that worker, so a healthy draining peer keeps running. Shutdown and detach suppress recovery.
+- The worker exits on its own when it has no controller and no terminals, on `shutdown`, on SIGTERM (killing its terminals), and when its record disappears (a deleted `$PASEO_HOME`: nobody can ever reach it again).
+- Its stderr goes to `$PASEO_HOME/terminal-worker.log`. No pipe to the daemon survives the daemon.
+
+Which triggers keep terminals and which close them is owned by the stop reason (`keepTerminals`) that flows from the request through the supervisor to `stop()`. The kill side always ends in the reaper (`terminal-worker-reaper.ts`), the only path that signals terminal processes outside a connected daemon.
+
+## Record, socket and secret
+
+The worker writes `$PASEO_HOME/terminal-worker/<pid>.json` (owner-only) with its identity (birth time + command line carrying `--paseo-terminal-worker <recordId>`), protocol version, socket path, a random secret, the copy it runs from, and each terminal program's pid and birth time.
+
+- The first frame on the socket must be `hello` with the secret; anything else closes the connection. Anyone who connects can type into every shell, so the record is `0600`, the unix socket `0600` in a `0700` directory.
+- Unix socket paths have a byte budget (103 on macOS, 107 on Linux). Dev homes under worktrees blow it, so `terminal-worker-socket-path.ts` tries `$PASEO_HOME/terminal-worker/sock/`, then `$TMPDIR/paseo-<uid>/`, then `/tmp/paseo-<uid>/`, and accepts an existing directory only if it is a real `0700` directory owned by you. It never chmods a shared root.
+- Cleanup signals a process only when its birth time matches the record. Birth times come from `ps -o lstart` with `LC_ALL=C` (it follows `LC_TIME` otherwise) and from `Win32_Process.CreationDate`. A missing birth time is "unknown", never matched by command text: a shell that ran `exec` keeps its pid and birth time but not its argv.
+- A kill cleanup that cannot confirm every process gone writes `closing-<recordId>.json` beside the worker record. The worker rewrites its own record whenever a terminal starts or exits, so the kill intent has to live in a file it never writes. A closing record is never adopted; the next stop or start retries it.
+- An unreadable record of either kind makes `daemon status` and a kill restart fail with its path: a kill cleanup that met it could not check what it names, and leaves nothing else behind. A read that fails with `EPERM`, `EBUSY` or `EACCES` is retried for 250ms first: on Windows, opening a record while the worker renames its new copy over it fails that way for a moment.
+
+## Protocol versions
+
+`TERMINAL_WORKER_PROTOCOL_VERSION` (`terminal-worker-protocol.ts`) is bumped whenever a request, response or event changes shape. A daemon classifies each live worker at start:
+
+| Worker reports                     | Daemon does                                                                                                                                                 |
+| ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| its own version                    | adopts it                                                                                                                                                   |
+| one version older                  | adopts it to drain: it keeps its terminals, takes no new ones, and is let go after its last terminal exits                                                  |
+| two or more older                  | shuts it down; its terminals close (logged)                                                                                                                 |
+| newer, or a version it cannot read | leaves it running, undriven; `list_terminals` and `create_terminal` answer `rpc_error` `terminal_worker_incompatible`, and `paseo daemon status` prints why |
+
+Never more than two workers run. A new worker launches only when none is current, none is incompatible and fewer than two run. The count comes from the records, so an unreachable or unidentified worker counts, and so does one a cleanup could not confirm gone. When two run, the daemon starts with no current worker, and the first terminal created after one of them exits launches it.
+
+**The frozen envelope never changes across versions:** the frame format (4-byte length + `v8.serialize`), `hello`/`helloAck`, the `listTerminals` info fields and `shutdown`. That is what lets any daemon close any worker: a kill stop sends `shutdown` to a newer worker it cannot otherwise drive. When you bump the version, keep a previous-version adapter so the draining worker can still be driven, and drop the adapter for the version before that.
+
+Tests stand up other versions with `PASEO_TERMINAL_WORKER_PROTOCOL_OVERRIDE`, read by the worker. It is test-only.
+
+## Running from its own copy
+
+A worker outlives the installation that started it. An npm or desktop update replaces that installation's files, and the next terminal the old worker creates would load node-pty's `spawn-helper` and the zsh integration from paths that no longer exist. So a built daemon does not launch the worker from its install:
+
+- `npm run build` bundles the worker with esbuild (`packages/server/scripts/build-terminal-worker.mjs`) into `dist/server/terminal-worker/` with its `shell-integration/` beside it. Only node-pty stays external. A package loaded through a module-local `createRequire` is invisible to esbuild and would be missing at run time; `terminal-worker-runtime.test.ts` fails if the bundle loads anything but built-ins and node-pty.
+- Before launching, the daemon copies the bundle, the shell integration and node-pty (this platform's native build only) into `$PASEO_HOME/terminal-worker/<paseoVersion>-<hash>/` and launches from there. The hash covers the bundle and node-pty, so a local rebuild of the same version gets its own copy.
+- A copy is deleted once no record names it: after a draining worker exits, after a kill cleanup, and at daemon start. The daemon and the reaper delete copies, never the worker itself, so a worker exiting cannot remove a copy a new worker is about to launch from.
+- Dev (`.ts` source) launches from source and copies nothing.
+
+Each create carries the controlling daemon's environment and Paseo CLI path (`baseEnv`, `paseoCliPath`), so a terminal opened after an upgrade gets the new installation's `PASEO_CLI` while older terminals keep theirs.
+
+## Desktop
+
+Desktop app updates and version-mismatch restarts stop the daemon with "keep terminals" on macOS and Linux, through `daemon stop --keep-terminals` (the shutdown RPC; SIGTERM always means "stop and close"). A daemon that predates the feature cannot keep terminals: the CLI refuses before sending anything, and desktop logs that and stops it with its terminals closed.
+
+On Windows every desktop stop closes terminals. In the desktop app the worker runs as `Paseo.exe` with `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE`, and a surviving one would lock the install folder the NSIS update replaces. Restarts, crashes and npm self-updates keep terminals on Windows too.
+
+## Known limits
+
+- On macOS `ps` has no session id, so a HUP-ignoring child of a shell that had already exited before cleanup started (re-parented to launchd) is not found. Linux reaches it through the session; a program that `exec`s keeps its entry on every OS.
+- On Linux, a member of a gone shell's session is signaled only if its environment carries that terminal's `PASEO_TERMINAL_ID`. A job that scrubbed its environment (`env -i`) is reported as unconfirmed, with its pid, and never signaled.
+- The agent-hook activity URL is baked into each shell when it starts. If the daemon's listen address changes across a restart, older shells report to the old address.
+- Restoring terminals after a reboot is out of scope: records from an earlier boot are retired without signaling anything.

+The flow needs the development app connected to an isolated daemon older than the app. Install a published daemon that predates `terminalsSurviveRestart`, start it in its own home, and bundle the app against it. `<checkout>` is the root of this repository; `<port>`, `<metro-port>` and `<udid>` are a free daemon port, a free Metro port and the booted simulator.
+
+Run this once, in any directory. It installs into `/tmp/old-daemon`, not globally:
+
+```sh
+npm install --prefix /tmp/old-daemon --no-package-lock @getpaseo/server@0.8.0
+```
+
+Terminal 1, the old daemon. It runs in the foreground; keep it running:
+
+```sh
+cd /tmp/old-daemon/node_modules/@getpaseo/server
+PASEO_HOME=/tmp/old-daemon-home PASEO_LISTEN=0.0.0.0:<port> PASEO_RELAY_ENABLED=0 node dist/scripts/supervisor-entrypoint.js
+```
+
+Terminal 2, Metro. It runs in the foreground; keep it running:
+
+```sh
+cd <checkout>/packages/app
+APP_VARIANT=development EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=localhost:<port> npx expo start --port <metro-port> --clear
+```
+
+Terminal 3, the flow, while terminals 1 and 2 are still running:
+
+```sh
+cd <checkout>
+xcrun simctl openurl <udid> "paseo://expo-development-client/?url=http%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A<metro-port>"
+maestro --udid <udid> test packages/app/e2e/mobile/agent-device/native-daemon-outdated-notice.ios.yaml --env DAEMON_VERSION=0.8.0
+```
+
+Start with the sidebar closed. The flow opens it, then asserts the notice, its daemon version, the terminals line for a daemon without `terminalsSurviveRestart`, and an enabled Update button. Do not tap Update: on 0.8.0 it runs a global `npm install -g @getpaseo/cli@latest`.
+
+When you are done, stop terminals 1 and 2 and remove `/tmp/old-daemon` and `/tmp/old-daemon-home`.
