fix(plugins): a host switch drops the branch and metadata even when the project id repeats

A remote repository keeps the same project id on every host, so comparing the project id alone missed a switch from host A to host B for the same repository. The target is now the host and the project id together.
test(plugins): the project-switch spec expects the other project's metadata to be empty

 # Changelog

-Not released yet. These changes are on `main` but not in 0.14.0; the next release entry includes them.
+## 0.15.0-beta.1 - 2026-11-01

-Added:
+Daemon restarts now keep terminal programs running and automatically resume interrupted agents in their existing conversations.

- 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))
+Mobile terminals have native rendering and draggable text-selection handles. Reconnecting restores up to 10,000 lines of terminal history.

-Improved:
+Worktree setup can copy ignored files and use plugin-defined locations before agents start.

- Added `server.addHook` with `subject.operation.position` names and the awaited `worktree.create.after` hook before setup and agents; deprecated the previous plugin hook registration methods without changing their behavior ([#8081](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8081))

+- Stopped rereading and retaining an unused copy of Codex history when reopening a cached chat ([#8132](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8132))
+- Split large daemon responses across relay frames instead of disconnecting at the frame limit ([#8302](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8302))
+- Truncate oversized chat entries before sending them to the app, including large tool results and embedded data ([#8274](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8274))

+### Notes
+
+- The first upgrade from 0.14.0 still closes terminals; terminal preservation starts once the new daemon is installed, and Windows desktop app upgrades still close them
+- Automatic agent recovery is on by default and sends `Resume working.`; change the prompt or disable it in Host settings → Agents
+- Before downgrading to 0.14.0, restore a backed-up `config.json` or remove the saved agent-resume and usage-check settings

-新增：
+daemon 重启后，终端中的程序继续运行，被中断的 Agent 会自动在原有会话中恢复工作。

- 在 setup 和 Agent 启动前，使用内置的 `worktree-include` 插件将 `.worktreeinclude` 选中的被 gitignore 忽略的文件复制到新工作树 ([#8100](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8100))

+移动端终端采用原生渲染，并提供可拖动的文本选择手柄。重新连接时最多恢复 10,000 行终端历史。

-改进：
+worktree 初始化支持复制被忽略的文件，并在 Agent 启动前使用插件指定的位置。

- 新增采用 `subject.operation.position` 命名的 `server.addHook` 和在 setup 及 Agent 之前等待的 `worktree.create.after` 钩子，弃用原有的插件钩子注册方法并保留原有行为 ([#8081](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/8081))

+## OpenCode with an existing v2 server
+
+Paseo first uses an explicitly configured server, then a healthy locally registered OpenCode v2 service, then starts its own helper. It never stops a reused service. To select a server explicitly, set its URL in the provider environment:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "opencode": {
+        "env": {
+          "PASEO_OPENCODE_SERVER_URL": "http://127.0.0.1:4096",
+          "PASEO_OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD": "<server password>"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`PASEO_OPENCODE_SERVER_URL` must be an absolute `http` or `https` URL. Omit `PASEO_OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD` when the server has no authentication; when set, Paseo authenticates with HTTP Basic auth as `opencode`.
+
+A configured URL takes precedence even when unreachable; Paseo reports the connection error. The local service registration supplies its own authentication. For a discovered local service, Paseo installs its bridge package in OpenCode's watched global plugin directory without changing the existing configuration. Refresh reads the existing service's catalogs without starting another server.
+
+An explicitly configured server needs the bridge installed separately. Connect once and start a session: the setup error gives the local package directory. Copy that directory to the server's OpenCode global `plugins` directory, then retry. For a server on another machine, set `PASEO_OPENCODE_BRIDGE_PORT` in the Paseo OpenCode provider environment before starting Paseo, and set `PASEO_OPENCODE_BRIDGE_URL` to the URL the OpenCode server can use to reach that port. For example, an SSH reverse tunnel can expose the Paseo loopback port on the OpenCode host. The bridge token is exchanged through the OpenCode connection and is not written into the plugin package.
+
+OpenCode's custom MCP registrations are shared by all sessions in a location. Paseo rejects custom MCP servers and per-agent process environment overrides on a reused server rather than applying them to other sessions or ignoring them. Session identity is applied to each session's shell environment. A Paseo-owned helper supports custom process and MCP settings; it is selected when there is no explicit URL or healthy registered service.

+
+`addComposerItem` mounts a plugin component in the agent, draft and New workspace composers. The
+public contract is the [composer items reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#composer-items).
+
+The composer is two contexts, provided by two owners (`packages/app/src/composer/session.tsx`).
+`Composer` provides `ComposerInput` (prompt and attachments). `AgentControls` and
+`DraftAgentControls` provide `ComposerAgent` (provider, model, mode, thinking, options, metadata and
+their commands). `toPluginComposer` (`packages/app/src/plugins/composer-items/`) joins them into the
+`PluginComposer` an item reads, so a plugin cannot tell which composer a command reaches. Add a
+capability to `ComposerAgent` and both implementations; never branch on `context` in the model.
+
+Plugin `Toggle`, `Select` and `Action`, the thinking select and provider option controls all
+render through `ComposerControl` (`packages/app/src/composer/agent-controls/composer-control.tsx`),
+a toolbar icon or a row in the overflow sheet. Model and mode stay specialized but share its trigger,
+density and overflow. Plugin items count in the density presence in `layout.ts`, so a composer
+condenses to make room for them. A custom component renders wherever its item is placed, and an
+item that renders nothing still counts for density; there is no registration for either.
+
+A command runs against the owner's current state, not the render that built the callback. The
+draft's form (`openAgentForm`) and options (`openDraftOptions`) are plain stores for that reason,
+and `draftComposerAgent` rejects a provider the host does not offer or a model its loaded catalog
+does not list. `ComposerControl` owns the pending state and the error toast for callbacks that
+return a promise.
+
+The overflow sheet's content portals to the app root, away from the composer. Pass
+`useComposerSheetBridge()` as the sheet's `contextBridge`, or `useComposer()` returns nothing and
+the sheet draws no plugin rows.
+
+## Contribute New workspace items
+
+`addNewWorkspaceItem` mounts a plugin component on the New workspace screen. The public contract
+is the [New workspace items reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#new-workspace-items).
+
+The screen's choices that a plugin may change live in one plain store,
+`createNewWorkspaceSetup` (`packages/app/src/screens/new-workspace/setup-model.ts`): the base
+picker selection, the manual isolation, the branch name and the workspace metadata. The pickers and
+the plugin commands write to it, so a command sees what an earlier command left. Project and host
+stay in the screen's hooks (`useNewWorkspaceHostSelector` reconciles them against each other), and
+they are read-only to plugins; a command that switched them would unmount the item that called it.
+
+The store is built in the render that creates the screen, with what the screen derives from its
+hooks (the lock, the project, whether the project can make worktrees, whether the host supports
+metadata), so a command is valid from a child's first effect, which runs before the screen's own
+effects. `syncInputs` refreshes those inputs in a layout effect on every commit, and commands read
+them when they run, never from the render that built them. The pickers and the commands pick
+through the same `chooseBase` and `chooseIsolation`, so a plugin command has the effects of a
+pick; the screen injects those effects when it builds the store (syncing the picker's PR attachment,
+remembering the isolation), so a command from a mount effect does the same as a click. Closing the
+picker stays in the picker's own handler. Add a capability by extending the store;
+do not read screen state from a plugin component.
+
+`ensureWorkspace` sends the store's `branch` as `source.branchName` whenever the worktree cuts a
+new branch (`startsNewBranch`, which mirrors the daemon: anything but a checkout, including no base
+at all on a detached HEAD), and its `metadata` on `workspace.create` when it is not empty. The
+server uses `branchName ?? worktreeSlug` as the new branch. `baseRef.name` is the exact ref
+creation uses; `branchNameFromRef` is for labels only.
+
+Items render through `ComposerControl` with `surface="field"`: a `FieldTrigger` (a badge on
+desktop, a full-width field when compact) and the same pending state, error toast and list as the
+composer's controls. `ComposerControlLockProvider` carries the screen's lock to them. Plugin
+`Combobox` is a `select` item with `remoteSearch`: the app `Combobox` does not filter locally, and
+`PluginCombobox` (`plugins/react-native/composer-controls.tsx`) runs `search` through
+`useFetchQuery` with `dataShape: "list"`, which keeps the previous results while a newer query runs.
+`plugins/item-host.tsx` is the host shared by composer and New workspace items.

+### Options flow
+
+`options` on the agent snapshot is the only option state. Controls describe how to draw an
+option and read `options`; they hold no value of their own. Any option can be read and set with
+or without a control.
+
+- **Create and resume.** The provider opens with the options it is given and emits nothing about
+  them while opening. `openOptionsPatch` carries every option the session ended up with that
+  differs from what it was given, including a setting nobody asked for (a native default such as
+  Cursor opening with Fast on). It is set before `createSession`/`resumeSession` resolves and the
+  daemon stores it before the agent is published. A reopened agent resumes that state, so a
+  native default the provider later changes does not follow. `options` on the snapshot is what
+  the session opened with, and afterwards it moves only through an apply or an `options_changed`.
+  Editing a provider default in `config.json` affects agents the next time they open.
+- **Live apply.** `applyOptions` receives the keys the patch touches, resolved against the
+  `config.json` defaults. A removal arrives as the default the key falls back to, or `null` when
+  there is none; the provider returns the setting to its own default if it can, or throws to
+  reject. A key the running session cannot apply (one the provider reads only when it opens) is
+  rejected too, so a stored option always describes what runs. Claude reads most options when it
+  starts its query, and replacing a started query would end its background work, so after the
+  first prompt only Fast can change. Codex fixes its approval policy and sandbox when the thread
+  starts, so it applies only `service_tier` and `plan_mode` live. A session with no
+  `applyOptions` rejects every patch; the daemon enforces this. The provider returns the options
+  it ended up with when they differ from the request. The daemon
+  stores the patch and that result in one step after the call resolves, onto the agent's options
+  as they are at that moment, so the last write wins. Throwing rejects the whole patch and
+  none of it is stored. Emit nothing from inside the call. If the provider's own state moved
+  before it refused, it reports the moved values once as `options_changed` after the call has
+  ended, because the stored options must match what runs.
+- **Old data converts in the agent manager.** Codex used to take `fast_mode`; it takes
+  `service_tier` now. `AgentManager` runs `convertLegacyOptions` (`option-controls.ts`) on an
+  agent's own options when it creates, resumes, imports, reloads or applies to it, and on draft
+  controls, before defaults merge and before anything is stored (`true` is `"fast"`, `false` is
+  `"default"`, and a `service_tier` in the same input wins). The manager converts for the adapter
+  behind the provider id, following `derivedFromProviderId`, so a custom provider with
+  `extends: "codex"` is converted too. Configured defaults convert in the provider registry. A
+  stored record keeps `fast_mode` until the agent is next opened or applied to, and is stored
+  converted from then on. Nothing past the manager sees `fast_mode` for Codex. Codex resolves
+  `"fast"` to the model's Fast tier and reports the id it runs through `openOptionsPatch` or the
+  `applyOptions` result like any other value. The `featureValues` to `options` fold is separate
+  and provider-agnostic; it stays at the protocol and legacy edges.
+- **Clients draw from the daemon's answer.** The app reads `controls` and `options` from the
+  agent snapshot for a running or closed agent. A draft and a profile form send everything they
+  would create with (seed, the provider's last-used control values once the provider has said it
+  still draws them, and the user's edits) in `provider.controls.list.request` and draw only what

 Pi RPC extension UI dialog requests (`select`, `input`, `editor`, `confirm`) are bridged into Paseo question permissions and answered with `extension_ui_response`. Pi extensions such as `ask_user` may chain dialogs: for example, a `select` can be followed by an optional-comment `input`. When an `ask_user` tool call declares `allowComment: true`, Paseo presents the selection and optional comment as one question permission, answers Pi's initial `select` immediately, then auto-answers the follow-up optional `input` with the comment the user already supplied (or an empty string). Preserve placeholders and optional/skip semantics for standalone optional inputs so the app can still distinguish "skip this optional input" from "cancel the whole dialog." Fire-and-forget extension UI requests such as notifications are intentionally ignored by the provider adapter unless Paseo grows first-class UI for them.

+OpenCode adapters target v1.14.46 and v2.0.10. V2 rejects versions older than 2.0.10. Paseo selects an explicit server, then a healthy local registered service, then its own helper. It never stops a reused service. A local service loads the Paseo bridge from its watched plugin directory; sessions bind their own bridge credentials through OpenCode RPC. See [OpenCode with an existing v2 server](custom-providers.md#opencode-with-an-existing-v2-server) for setup and isolation limits.

V1 retains native archiving.

 Use OpenCode v2 execution events to trigger turn completion, with active-state and durable-log reconciliation after admission, reconnect, and while a turn remains active. Do not use `session.wait`: a healthy turn exceeding Node's HTTP headers deadline produces a transport error while OpenCode keeps working. The live event feed has no replay, and shutdown interruption preserves the previous idle outcome, so the session snapshot alone cannot recover missed execution events. Quiet streams are healthy: v2 heartbeats are SSE comments, not application events.

+`describePersistence()` returns a handle only once a new provider process could resume it. Reload, idle runtime collection and daemon restart resume whatever handle the agent stored; a stored agent without one starts a new session instead. When there is no handle, `AgentManager` stores `getRuntimeInfo().sessionId` as one, so that ID follows the same rule. Codex, for example, starts a thread when the agent is created but writes its rollout only at its first turn, and `thread/resume` fails for it until then, so its adapter reports neither ID before Codex announces that turn.
+
 `setMode` and `setThinkingOption` may return an `AgentProviderNotice` when the provider knows the change needs user-facing context. For example, providers that stage changes until the next turn should return an `info` notice while a turn is already running. The app renders the notice generically as a toast; provider-specific lifecycle behavior stays in the provider implementation.

@@ -6,15 +6,25 @@ Web and Electron draw terminals with xterm.js. iOS and Android keep an `@xterm/h

 xterm decides which column every cell occupies. The native views never let text advance move a cell. Each row is shaped once, one run per font face, so Hangul jamo, ligatures, combining marks, conjuncts and fallback fonts see their neighbours. Each shaped cluster is then drawn at its first cell's column, centred in the columns it owns, and scaled down when its glyphs are wider. Cursor, selection, hit-testing and copy all use xterm's columns, so they stay correct whatever the font does.

-A cluster is the run of cells the shaper merged, and it is drawn once from the shaped row. Drawing part of a cluster on its own reshapes it: a half-form conjunct such as `स्ते` comes apart into `स्` with a visible virama. So colour and selection never split a cluster. A cluster whose cells differ in colour is drawn once per colour, clipped to that colour's columns.
+A cluster is the run of cells the shaper merged, and it is drawn once from the shaped row. xterm usually keeps a conjunct in one cell (see [Character widths](#character-widths)), but a colour change inside it leaves `क्` and `ष` in separate cells that still shape together. Drawing part of a cluster on its own reshapes it: the conjunct comes apart into `क्` with a visible virama. So colour and selection never split a cluster. A cluster whose cells differ in colour is drawn once per colour, clipped to that colour's columns.

-Android also groups cells with `android.icu.text.BreakIterator`, because Minikin's advances and cursor boundaries alone split some conjuncts. Grapheme rules follow the OS ICU version. Android 10 (API 29) splits `स्ते` after the virama and renders it incorrectly. The tested corpus passed on API 33, 34 and 35; API 30–32 have not been tested. We accept that version-dependent limitation to avoid bundling approximately 14 MB of ICU4J data. CoreText keeps this conjunct together on iOS. This renderer does not guarantee identical shaping across OS versions.
+Android also groups cells with `android.icu.text.BreakIterator`, because Minikin's advances and cursor boundaries alone split some clusters that span cells. Grouping only merges whole cells, so a conjunct xterm keeps in one cell cannot be split by the OS. Grapheme rules follow the OS ICU version, and we accept that to avoid bundling approximately 14 MB of ICU4J data. Before the buffers used grapheme widths, Android 10 (API 29) split `स्ते` across its two cells. This renderer does not guarantee identical shaping across OS versions.

 `TerminalRowLayoutTest.kt` is the Android regression test. It draws the rows of `grapheme-rows.json` and compares each with its grapheme clusters drawn one at a time, and with a wrong clustering that must not match. `terminal-frame.test.ts` checks that those rows are what xterm produces and that the clusters are UAX #29 grapheme clusters. Run it with `./gradlew :paseo-terminal:connectedDebugAndroidTest` from `packages/app/android`, with `ANDROID_SERIAL` set.

 The view reports ready only after it has measured its grid size. The pane attaches with that size, so the daemon replays the terminal at the client's size. Before this, the replay arrived at the PTY's old size, the resize came after it, and the shell's redraw landed on the wrong rows.

-Emoji widths come from the headless buffer, which uses xterm's default Unicode 6 table. `👍` gets one column, and `👋🏽` and `🇰🇷` get two cells drawn as one cluster. Web loads the Unicode 11 addon, so the same output can wrap differently on web and native.
+## Character widths
+
+The daemon, native and web buffers all load `@xterm/addon-unicode-graphemes`: the daemon through `packages/server/src/terminal/headless-terminal.ts`, native in `createNativeHeadlessTerminal`, web in `terminal-emulator-runtime.ts`. Each emoji cluster takes one two-column cell, including VS16 (`❤️`), skin tones (`👋🏽`), flags (`🇰🇷`) and ZWJ sequences (`👨‍👩‍👧`). That is the width colour-emoji fonts draw at. Under xterm's default Unicode 6 table `😀` got one column, and the native views scaled it to half size to fit.
+
+Every buffer must use the same table. The daemon answers cursor-position reports (`CSI 6n`) from its buffer, and a client re-parses the daemon's ANSI replay with its own table. A disagreement moves the cursor and the later cells of any row that holds a disputed cluster: after replay from a Unicode 6 daemon, the cursor that followed `A😀😀😀B` lands inside the third emoji.
+
+Daemons that use grapheme widths advertise `server_info.features["terminal-grapheme-widths"]`. `terminal-pane.tsx` reads it once and passes `characterWidths` to the emulator. Against an older daemon the app keeps each renderer's previous table: xterm's default on native, Unicode 11 on web. An older app against a newer daemon cannot match it, because every client shares the daemon's one buffer. A terminal kept by a worker from an unreleased pre-grapheme build keeps that worker's table until it exits.
+
+The table follows Unicode grapheme clusters, as Node's `string-width` does for Ink-based agent TUIs. Indic conjuncts follow the same rule: `क्ष` and `स्ते` take one column, and the native views scale them down to fit it. Shells measure with the C library's `wcwidth` instead. glibc counts `❤️` as one column, `👋🏽` as four and `क्ष` as two, so a line editor that measures those disagrees with the terminal.
+
+Use `@xterm/addon-unicode-graphemes` 0.5.0-beta.330 or later. Earlier versions read their width table from the wrong offset when Node decodes it into a pooled `Buffer`, which gives wrong widths or a load error depending on earlier allocations. `headless-terminal.test.ts` forces that case in a fresh process.
