+description: Cut a beta release of Paseo. Use when the user says "release beta", "cut a beta", "ship a beta", "beta release", or "/release-beta". Betas are release candidates on the beta channel — they carry an in-place changelog entry, don't move the website download target, and publish npm only on the beta dist-tag.

+Read `docs/release.md` in the Paseo repo and follow the **Beta flow** section end-to-end. Run the **Beta release** completion checklist at the bottom of that doc.
+
+Key rules the doc enforces — each beta updates an in-place `CHANGELOG.md` entry (`## X.Y.Z-beta.N`) that gets overwritten at promotion (never leave a stale `-beta.N` heading behind), and betas publish npm only with the explicit `beta` dist-tag.

-### Writing docs
-
- **Integrate, don't append.** Find the doc that owns the subject and rewrite the part that is now wrong. The standard failure is finishing a task and adding a paragraph to the bottom of the closest-looking doc; ten tasks later the doc is a pile of paragraphs in discovery order. `docs/custom-providers.md` is what that looks like.
- **Don't document logic.** Prose that restates code drifts from the code and loses. Write down what the code can't tell you: why something is shaped the way it is, the gotcha that cost an afternoon, conventions nothing enforces, constraints that span packages or versions. If a reader could get it in two minutes by opening the file, cut it.
- **One fact, one doc.** Every other mention is a link. If you are about to write the same paragraph in two docs, one of them is a link.
- **Respect the layers.** `CONTRIBUTING.md` and this file name things and link out. Activity docs like `docs/qa.md` and `docs/testing.md` set the bar for a kind of work. Subject docs like `docs/unistyles.md` own one thing completely. A layer never re-explains the one below it.
- **One subject per doc.** If the subject doesn't fit in a sentence, split the doc. A section per provider, vendor, or platform is a table plus one worked example.
- **Delete.** Obsolete sections go. Prefer a `packages/app/src/thing.ts:120` reference over a pasted block.
- **New doc?** Add a row to the table above and link it from the docs that should send readers there.
- Code-level facts belong in comments next to the code, not here.
-
-### Doc voice
-
-Plain and short. Second person. State the rule, then the reason when the reason isn't obvious. Match the doc you're editing.
-
-Do not:
-
- Write a sentence to land a point. "It's not X, it's Y", "That's not a Z, that's a W", and every other setup-and-punchline shape.
- Add a clause that only asserts importance: "and that matters", "which is what keeps it working", "this is critical".
- Use "honest", "robust", "seamless", "powerful", "simply", "just", "delightful".
- Restate something you already said, in different words, for emphasis.
- Hedge with "generally", "typically", or "you may want to" when the answer is "do this".
- Clear your throat: "It's worth noting that", "In order to", "This section covers".

  - `npm run format:files -- CLAUDE.md packages/app/src/components/message.tsx`
- **The protocol stays backward-compatible. Features don't have to.** Read [docs/protocol-compatibility.md](docs/protocol-compatibility.md) before touching `packages/protocol`. The short version:
-  - **Protocol contract (always):** an old client parses messages from a new daemon, and a new daemon parses messages from an old client. New fields are optional; never narrow, never remove, never require. Wire schemas stay pure — no `.transform()`, `.catch()`, or `.preprocess()`.
-  - **Feature contract (per-feature):** gate the capability once on `server_info.features.*`, then run the feature or tell the user to update the host. No fallback paths, no defensive branches.
-  - **Every shim is tagged.** `// COMPAT(name): added in vX, remove after <date>` at the site that has to be deleted. `rg "COMPAT\("` is the cleanup backlog; untagged back-compat is permanent by accident.
-  - **New RPCs use dotted namespaces with direction suffixes.** Follow [docs/rpc-namespacing.md](docs/rpc-namespacing.md): `domain.provider.operation.request` pairs with `domain.provider.operation.response`. Existing flat RPC names will migrate over time; don't add new ones.
+- **The protocol stays backward-compatible. Features don't have to.** Two separate contracts:
+  - **Protocol contract (always):** schema changes must not break parsing in either direction. An old client must still parse messages from a new daemon; a new daemon must still parse messages from an old client.
+    - New fields: `.optional()` with a sensible default.
+    - Never flip optional → required, remove fields, or narrow types (`string` → `enum`, `nullable` → non-null).
+    - Removed fields stay accepted (we stop sending them, not stop reading them).
+    - Test with: "does a 6-month-old client still parse this?" and "does a 6-month-old daemon still send something this client accepts?"
+    - Wire schemas are pure structural declarations. Do not add `.transform()`, `.catch()`, or `.preprocess()` to WebSocket message schemas; put normalization in an explicit post-validation pass.
+    - Plain `z.union()` is forbidden when every branch has a shared literal tag. Use `z.discriminatedUnion()` unless generated-code regression tests prove that specific shape is miscompiled.
+    - `.default()` is acceptable on primitive leaves only. Never put defaults on item schemas for large arrays or big inbound containers.
+  - **Feature contract (per-feature):** a new feature may require a new daemon capability. The client detects whether the capability is present and either runs the feature or shows "Update the host to use this." That's it.
+    - **No fallback paths.** Don't write a degraded version of a new feature that runs on old daemons. Don't fan out across legacy RPCs to simulate a missing capability. The user upgrades or doesn't get the feature.
+    - **No defensive branches scattered through the feature.** Capability detection happens in one place; downstream code reads a clean shape.
+    - **Capability flags live in `server_info.features.*`** with a single `// COMPAT(featureName): added in v0.1.X, drop the gate when floor >= v0.1.X` comment marking the cleanup site.
+    - Existing functionality keeps working across versions — that's the protocol contract doing its job. New-feature degradation is not the goal.

+- **All back-compat shims are tagged and dated for cleanup.** Every shim that exists for old-client/old-daemon support carries a `COMPAT(name)` comment with the version it was added in and a target removal date (typically 6 months out). One grep — `rg "COMPAT\("` — should produce the full list of cleanup work. Don't bury back-compat in untagged `??`-fallbacks or optional-chain tunnels — that's how it stops being deletable.

 # Contributing to Paseo

-This guide is here to save us both time and help you find a useful way to contribute.
+Paseo is an opinionated product maintained by one person right now.

-Paseo grows through bug reports, testing, workflow discussions, plugins, documentation, and people helping each other. The sections below explain where each contribution belongs and what to expect.
+The product covers a lot of surface: mobile, desktop, web, the daemon, the relay, and both self-hosted and hosted setups.

-## Philosophy
+Contributing takes a lot of context that is very hard to transfer. That's why product, design, architecture, and workflow decisions are currently all made by the maintainer.

-**Paseo has a lean, opinionated core built to be extended.**
+## Becoming a maintainer

-The goal is a low floor and a high ceiling: a polished default experience that is easy to understand, with the flexibility to choose your providers, run on your own infrastructure, and build your own workflows. Paseo should remain self-hosted and respectful of your privacy and control.
+There's no formal process to become a maintainer, if you consistently contribute and help out, you'll become one.

-The core continues to evolve through improvements to the shared experience. Specialized workflows and integrations belong in the extension ecosystem. Product, design, architecture, and workflow decisions remain with the maintainer.
+Here's the progression:

-Read the [product philosophy](docs/product.md) for the reasoning behind these choices and how Paseo develops.
+1. Get involved in the community: answer questions in Discord and on GitHub
+2. Triage bugs: replicate and help fix them
+3. Work on maintainer-approved features

-## Build a plugin
+The reason for this progression is so that you can gain all the context you need to take on more responsibility, so that I can see if you have what it takes to be a maintainer.

-Most specialized workflows and integrations are better served by plugins.
+Learning on the job is fine, I do not care how many years of experience you have, what I care about is that you get the vision and want to contribute.

-Plugins let you build what you need, share it, and maintain it independently. Start with the [plugin documentation](https://paseo.sh/docs/plugins). For applications and integrations built around Paseo, see the [SDK documentation](https://paseo.sh/docs/sdk).
+## Pull requests

-If an extension point is missing, describe the workflow in [Discussions](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/discussions). A reusable capability that enables several plugins may be a better addition than implementing one particular workflow in core.
+✅ Will be accepted

-## Report bugs
+- Keep it to one focused change
+- Link to an issue
+- Explain the problem you're solving
+- Include repro steps if it's a bug
+- Include QA/testing evidence
+- UI changes need screenshots or video for every affected platform: iOS, Android, desktop, and web
+- If you only tested one platform, say that clearly

-Open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/issues) and fill out the bug report template.
+⛔️ Will be rejected

-Include:
+- Bundle unrelated changes
+- Fail basic checks like typecheck, formatting or linting
+- Add a feature or design change that wasn't discussed first
+- Submit no evidence of testing
+- Skip the linked issue
+- Clearly fully AI-generated PR

- What you did, what you expected, and what happened.
- Reproduction steps, Paseo version, and platform.
- Relevant logs, screenshots, or a recording.
+## Requesting features

-If an agent investigated, include the evidence and reproduction steps it collected. Its explanation of the cause still needs verification.
+If you need a feature implemented, create a Github issue or a thread in Discord.

-Focused fixes for reproducible bugs are welcome. If you submit one, follow the pull request and QA guidance below.
+Explain the problem you want to solve: your use case, where Paseo falls short today, and the flow you expect.

-## Discuss workflows before proposing features
+## AI assistance

-Product discussions, including feature requests, belong in [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/discussions). Feature requests opened as issues will be closed.
+Using AI to help write code is fine, but you must:

-Explain:
-
- What are you trying to do?
- How do you do it today?
- Where does Paseo get in the way?
- What would a better workflow look like?
-
-This helps other people describe their needs and gives me useful context when deciding what to build.
-
-There is no feature request backlog or commitment to implement a discussion. I may read and learn from it without replying.
-
-## If you still want to submit a pull request
-
-After considering plugins and discussing the workflow, you may still want to propose a change to core. Focused fixes for reproducible bugs are also welcome.
-
-**Pull requests are closed by default.** I may reopen the ones I want to take forward. Submit one only if you are comfortable with it being closed without a detailed review or explanation.
-
-Paseo receives more pull requests than I can responsibly review. Reviewing every submission and explaining every decision would consume the time available for developing the product.
-
-I can prompt an agent to write code just as you can. The bottlenecks are choosing what to build, shaping it, verifying its behavior, and taking responsibility for its maintenance. A finished implementation still leaves that work to do.
-
-If you choose to submit a PR, these are the basics to cover.
-
-### What I look for in a core feature
-
- **Demonstrated demand.** Link a discussion with concrete examples of other users needing the workflow. A feature for a small, specialized use case belongs in a plugin.
- **Value across workflows.** The feature should improve how existing capabilities work together and benefit a broad set of users. A reusable improvement is more valuable than an isolated control for one task.
- **A coherent design across platforms and providers.** Shared capabilities should work across platforms and providers wherever applicable. Do not reshape a shared abstraction around one provider while leaving the others unsupported or inconsistent.
- **A finished experience.** Follow the [design guidelines](docs/design.md). The feature must look and feel right in Paseo, including loading states, layout stability, and interaction performance. PRs with janky or rushed interfaces will be closed. Design judgment remains with the maintainer.
-
-### Keep the scope small
-
-Submit one focused change. PRs adding more than roughly **3,000 lines of production code** are unlikely to be accepted. Prefer the smallest complete improvement that can be tested and understood on its own.
-
-### QA evidence
-
-Run the changed application or service and test the affected workflow yourself. Include detailed QA evidence so I can see what you exercised and what happened. PRs without this verification and evidence will be closed, whether they fix a bug or add a feature.
-
-Explain the problem and link the relevant bug report or discussion. Include:
-
- Automated tests that exercise the changed behavior. A bug fix needs a regression test that fails on the broken version.
- The commands you ran and their output.
- A recording for interactive UI changes, or before-and-after screenshots for static changes.
- The platforms you tested and any affected platforms you could not test.
-
-The [QA guide](docs/qa.md) explains the expected evidence and available tooling.
-
-Using an agent is welcome. Sending it to implement a change and submitting its output without trying the result yourself does not meet this bar.
-
-**Satisfying all of the above does not mean your pull request will be merged.**
-
-### What happens to your contribution
-
-If I take a contribution forward, I may narrow it, reshape it, or use it as a reference for my own implementation. **You will be credited for your contribution, including when I reimplement it.**
-
-A closed PR does not necessarily mean the underlying problem was dismissed. It means I am not taking that submission forward. Detailed reviews, individual explanations, and follow-up discussions cannot be provided at this volume.
-
-## Help the community
-
-Testing betas, reproducing bugs, improving documentation, sharing plugins, and answering questions all help Paseo develop.
-
-There is no formal process for becoming a maintainer. Consistent involvement and good judgment build the shared context needed to take on more responsibility.
+- Ensure your agents read the docs
+- Understand the code you submit
+- Review and test the code yourself

-   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+                            Preamble

-   1. Definitions.
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
+cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.

-      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
-      and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.

-      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
-      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

-      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
-      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
-      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
-      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
-      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
-      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
-      outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+  Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
+with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
+you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
+and/or modify the software.

-      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
-      exercising permissions granted by this License.
+  A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
+improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
+receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
+incorporate.  Many developers of free software are heartened and
+encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However, in the case of
+software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
+The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
+letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
+source code to the public.

-      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
-      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
-      source, and configuration files.
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
+ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
+to the community.  It requires the operator of a network server to
+provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
+users of that server.  Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
+a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
+code of the modified version.

-      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
-      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
-      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
-      and conversions to other media types.
+  An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
+published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals.  This is
+a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
+released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
+this license.

-      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
-      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
-      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
-      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.

-      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
-      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
-      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
-      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
-      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
-      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
-      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS

-      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including

-      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
-      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner

-      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
-      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
-      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
-      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
-      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
-      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."

-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.

-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.

-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or

+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.

-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.

+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.

-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.

-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.

-   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.

-   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
+  2. Basic Permissions.

-      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
-      boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
-      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
-      the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
-      comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
-      file or class name and description of purpose be included on the
-      same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier
-      identification within third-party archives.
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.

-   Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.

-   Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
-   you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
-   You may obtain a copy of the License at
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.

-       http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.

-   Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software
-   distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.
-   See the License for the specific language governing permissions and
-   limitations under the License.
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
+Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
+interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
+supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
+Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
+from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
+means of facilitating copying of software.  This Corresponding Source
+shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
+of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
+following paragraph.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
+3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions
+will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+

-내 컴퓨터에서 에이전트를 병렬로 실행하세요. 데스크톱이나 휴대폰에서 배포하세요.
-
- **셀프 호스팅:** 에이전트는 완전한 개발 환경이 갖춰진 내 컴퓨터에서 실행됩니다. 평소 쓰던 도구, 설정, 스킬을 그대로 쓸 수 있습니다.
- **여러 제공자 지원:** Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi를 하나의 인터페이스에서 사용할 수 있습니다. 작업마다 알맞은 모델을 고를 수 있습니다.
- **음성 제어:** 음성 모드에서 작업을 말로 지시하거나 문제를 음성으로 함께 검토할 수 있습니다. 손을 쓰지 않고 작업해야 할 때 유용합니다.
- **여러 기기 지원:** iOS, Android, 데스크톱, 웹, CLI를 지원합니다. 데스크톱에서 시작해 휴대폰으로 확인하고 터미널에서 자동화할 수 있습니다.
- **개인정보 보호 우선:** Paseo는 텔레메트리, 추적, 강제 로그인을 사용하지 않습니다.
-
-## 시작하기
-
-Paseo는 코딩 에이전트를 관리하는 로컬 서버인 데몬을 실행합니다. 데스크톱 앱, 모바일 앱, 웹 앱, CLI 같은 클라이언트가 이 데몬에 연결합니다.
-
-### 준비 사항
-
-아래 에이전트 CLI 중 하나 이상을 설치하고 인증 정보를 설정해야 합니다.
-
- [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)
- [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex)
- [GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot/cli/)
- [OpenCode](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode)
- [Pi](https://pi.dev)
-
-### 데스크톱 앱(권장)
-
-[paseo.sh/download](https://paseo.sh/download) 또는 [GitHub 릴리스 페이지](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/releases)에서 다운로드하세요. 앱을 열면 데몬이 자동으로 시작됩니다. 별도로 설치할 것은 없습니다.
-
-휴대폰에서 연결하려면 **설정 → 호스트 → 기기 페어링**을 여세요.
-
-### CLI / 헤드리스 환경
-
-CLI를 설치하고 Paseo를 시작하세요.
-
-```bash
-npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
-paseo
-```
-
-Paseo가 로컬에서 시작된 뒤 기기 페어링을 위한 종단 간 암호화 릴레이를 켤지 묻습니다. 거절하면 TCP, Tailscale 또는 다른 VPN으로 직접 연결할 수 있습니다. 이 방식은 서버나 원격 머신에서 유용합니다.
-
-자세한 설치와 설정은 아래 문서를 참고하세요.
-
- [문서](https://paseo.sh/docs)
- [연결 가이드](https://paseo.sh/docs/connectivity)
- [설정 레퍼런스](https://paseo.sh/docs/configuration)
-
-### Docker
-
-Docker에서 Paseo 데몬과 셀프 호스팅 웹 UI를 실행하세요:
-
-```bash
-docker run -d --name paseo \
-  -p 6767:6767 \
-  -e PASEO_PASSWORD=change-me \
-  -v "$PWD/paseo-home:/home/paseo" \
-  -v "$PWD:/workspace" \
-  ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
-```
-
-컨테이너가 시작되면 `http://localhost:6767`을 여세요. 사용하는 에이전트 CLI를 기본 이미지에 추가한 뒤, 환경 변수나 영구 `/home/paseo` 볼륨으로 인증 정보를 설정하세요. 자세한 내용은 [Docker 문서](docs/docker.md)를 참고하세요.
-
-## CLI
-
-앱에서 할 수 있는 모든 작업은 터미널에서도 할 수 있습니다.
-
-```bash
-paseo run --provider claude/opus-4.6 "implement user authentication"
-paseo run --provider codex/gpt-5.4 --worktree feature-x "implement feature X"
-
-paseo ls                           # 실행 중인 에이전트 목록
-paseo attach abc123                # 실시간 출력 스트리밍
-paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # 후속 작업 전송
-
-# 원격 데몬에서 실행
-paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"
-```
-
-자세한 내용은 [전체 CLI 레퍼런스](https://paseo.sh/docs/cli)를 참고하세요.
-
-## 스킬
-
-스킬은 에이전트가 Paseo를 통해 다른 에이전트를 오케스트레이션하는 방법을 알려 줍니다.
-
-```bash
-npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
-```
-
-그런 다음 어떤 에이전트 대화에서든 아래 명령을 사용할 수 있습니다.
-
- `/paseo-handoff` — 에이전트 간에 작업을 넘깁니다. Claude로 계획을 세운 뒤 Codex에 구현을 넘길 때 이 기능을 씁니다.
- `/paseo-advisor` — 작업 자체를 넘기지 않고, 에이전트 하나를 조언자로 띄워 두 번째 의견을 받습니다.
- `/paseo-committee` — 서로 다른 관점의 에이전트 두 개로 위원회를 구성해, 한 발 물러나 근본 원인을 분석하고 계획을 세웁니다.
-
-## 개발
-
-모노레포 패키지 구성은 다음과 같습니다.
-
- `packages/server`: Paseo 데몬(에이전트 프로세스 오케스트레이션, WebSocket API, MCP 서버 제공)
- `packages/app`: Expo 클라이언트(iOS, Android, 웹)
- `packages/cli`: `paseo` CLI(데몬과 에이전트 워크플로)

 The QR code or pairing link is the trust anchor. It contains the daemon's public key, which is required to establish the encrypted connection. Treat it like a password — don't share it publicly.

-When a daemon password is configured, new relay clients send it in the encrypted `hello` message. This release still admits relay clients that send no credential so existing mobile builds continue to connect. A wrong password is rejected. The next release will require the password for relay connections after updated mobile builds are available.

 ## Local daemon trust boundary

-By default, the daemon binds to `127.0.0.1`. With no password configured, anything that can reach the daemon socket can control the daemon. Loopback is reachable by other users on the machine and by some forwarding tools.
+By default, the daemon binds to `127.0.0.1`. With no password configured, the local control plane is trusted by network reachability — anything that can reach the daemon socket can control the daemon. This is the same security model Docker documents for its daemon: the security boundary is access to the socket or listening address.

-The daemon supports an optional shared-secret password (set via `auth.password` in `config.json` or the `PASEO_PASSWORD` env var; stored bcrypt-hashed). WebSocket clients send the password in `hello`; the daemon sends no session data before admission. Direct connections still accept bearer headers and WebSocket bearer subprotocols for older clients. HTTP stays bearer-header based. Health (`GET /api/health`) and CORS preflight (`OPTIONS`) are exempt; `/api/files/download` and `/mcp/agents` use their own capability tokens.
-
-The daemon writes a new `$PASEO_HOME/local-credential` on every run with mode `0600` and removes it on shutdown. The CLI and desktop main process read it only for the daemon whose PID lock `listen` matches their connection target. A same-user process can read this credential, so the password protects against network clients and other OS users, not processes running as the daemon user. Protect `$PASEO_HOME` accordingly. Relay traffic remains end-to-end encrypted independently of password admission.
+The daemon also supports an optional shared-secret password (set via `auth.password` in `config.json` or the `PASEO_PASSWORD` env var; stored bcrypt-hashed). When configured, every HTTP request must carry `Authorization: Bearer <password>` and every WebSocket upgrade must include a `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: paseo.bearer.<password>` subprotocol. Browser WebSocket cannot set custom headers, which is why the token rides in the subprotocol. Health (`GET /api/health`) and CORS preflight (`OPTIONS`) are exempt. The password is intended for direct-TCP exposure (e.g. `tcp://host:port?ssl=true&password=...`); it is **not** a substitute for the relay's E2E encryption when traversing untrusted networks.

 Connected clients are trusted operators of the daemon user. File previews follow that authority: a preview request may read any regular file the daemon process can read, while keeping path normalization and symlink checks in the daemon file service. Workspace-relative paths remain a UI convenience, not a security boundary.

-When Paseo checks out a change request from a different repository, it does not run that workspace's `paseo.json` setup, automatic terminals, named scripts, or teardown until you explicitly run setup for that workspace. The decision lasts for the workspace and does not re-prompt after new commits. Same-repository changes, ordinary branches, local workspaces, agent launches, terminals, explicit shell commands, and metadata-generation instructions are outside this gate.

 If you expose the daemon beyond loopback, such as by binding to `0.0.0.0`, forwarding it through a tunnel or reverse proxy, or publishing it from a Docker container, you are responsible for restricting and securing that access. Setting a password is strongly recommended in that case.

 Paseo validates the `Host` header on every HTTP request and every WebSocket upgrade against an allowlist (Vite-style semantics). By default, only `localhost`, `*.localhost`, and any literal IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) are accepted. Additional hostnames can be configured via `hostnames` in `config.json` or the `PASEO_HOSTNAMES` env var (comma-separated; entries beginning with `.` match a domain and its subdomains; the value `true` disables the allowlist entirely). Requests with unrecognized hosts are rejected with `403 Host not allowed`.

-## HTML file preview
-
-Previewing an `.html` file in the file pane renders it as a page, so markup an agent wrote — or markup that arrived with a repo you cloned — executes when you open it. The preview is built to contain that, not to trust it.
-
-The document loads with an opaque origin and a policy that permits inline script and style and refuses everything else: no remote script, font, image, or media; no `fetch`, XHR, WebSocket, or beacon; no form posts; no plugins; no nested frames. It has no access to Paseo's DOM, and storage and cookie APIs throw inside it rather than returning anything. It cannot navigate the top window, and it cannot open popups. It cannot read any file but itself.
-
-One gap remains on web and desktop: a sandboxed document may navigate _itself_, and no CSP directive in current browsers prevents that. `navigate-to` was dropped from CSP Level 3 and is not enforced, and `<meta http-equiv="refresh">` needs no script at all. A hostile page can therefore reach a server by navigating away, carrying data available inside the preview, such as its own contents, browser and device properties, user input inside the page, and your IP address. It cannot read Paseo, another file, storage, or cookies.
-
-Native builds narrow this gap rather than closing it outright. The WebView refuses every navigation after the initial document, but that decision is made in the app's JavaScript, and on Android the WebView falls back to allowing a navigation when the decision doesn't come back in time. Treat it as a strong mitigation, not a guarantee: if the JS thread is stalled at the moment a page navigates, the same leak is possible there too.
-
-If you don't trust a page, read it in `Source`, which executes nothing. Source is available as an editable view on supported web hosts and a read-only view everywhere else.

 ## Agent authentication

 Paseo wraps agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) but does not manage their authentication. Each agent provider handles its own credentials. Paseo never stores or transmits provider API keys. Agents run in your user context with your existing credentials.

-## Forge host trust

-Paseo only talks to a forge host that is either a known cloud host or one the forge CLI is already authenticated to. It never probes or routes credentials to an unauthenticated, remote-derived host.

-Each live agent in `AgentManager` carries a `lastStatus` of `initializing`, `idle`, `running`, or `error`. `closed` is the persisted, resumable state for an agent record that has no live provider runtime. State transitions persist to disk and stream to subscribed clients via WebSocket.

-## Runtime residency
-
-An unarchived agent may be `closed` without being deleted or archived. Closing releases its provider
-processes and subscriptions while retaining its Paseo identity, persistence handle, timeline,
-workspace, labels, title, usage, attention, timestamps, and parent relationship. Opening or prompting
-the agent runs through `ensureAgentLoaded()`, which resumes the durable provider session under the
-same Paseo agent ID. Provider history is not appended again when the canonical timeline is already
-primed.
-
-Reload releases the old runtime before resuming its durable session: an idle provider process can
-still own an exclusive writer. A close failure retains that runtime for cleanup and blocks the
-replacement. Once closure succeeds, a failed resume leaves the durable agent closed and retryable.
-
-Idle agents remain resident indefinitely. Runtime closure happens only through an explicit lifecycle
-action such as archive, replacement, reload, workspace teardown, or daemon shutdown.
-
-A provider runtime can still die on its own — crash, OOM kill, host suspend. Work the agent parked
-inside that process dies with it: Claude Code's background Bash shells, `Monitor` watches, and
-workflows all live in the CLI process, and the completion notification that would have woken the
-agent never arrives. A runtime that dies mid-turn is reported by whatever is draining its stream, but
-between turns nothing is watching, so the agent sits at `idle` looking healthy while its background
-work is gone. Report that exit as a turn failure so the agent lands in `error` with a timeline entry.
-Only the Claude provider does this today; the others still report a death only when a turn happens to
-be in flight.
-
-### Cancellation
-
-Provider interruption is idempotent at the `AgentSession` boundary. It resolves when the prior
-foreground turn can no longer run, including when the provider reports that it is already idle. It
-rejects only when the provider may still own the turn. Provider adapters translate native errors
-into that contract; lifecycle callers do not interpret provider-specific errors.
-
-After an acknowledged interrupt, the manager settles the captured run even when no terminal event
-arrives or the run was still waiting for its provider turn id. The captured run token prevents an
-older cancellation from settling a newer turn. If interruption is rejected or times out, the agent
-keeps its active foreground turn and replacement, reload, rewind, and Stop report the failure.
-Accepting new work after an ambiguous interruption would create a split-brain session.

 ## Relationships

-Agents can launch other agents via the agent-scoped `create_agent` MCP tool. Agent-scoped creation is always asynchronous and always stamps `paseo.parent-agent-id`, pointing back at the caller. Omit `workspaceId` to use the caller's workspace, or pass an existing workspace ID returned by `create_workspace`. Placement never changes parentage.
+Agents can launch other agents via the agent-scoped `create_agent` MCP tool. Agent-scoped creation is always asynchronous. `relationship` and `workspace` are separate decisions:
+
+- `relationship` decides whether the new agent belongs under the caller.
+- `workspace` decides where the new agent lives and whether a new workspace/worktree is created.
+
+`relationship: { kind: "subagent" }` stamps the created agent with `paseo.parent-agent-id`, pointing back at the creating agent. The client surfaces that as `agent.parentAgentId`. This requires an agent-scoped MCP session.
+
+`relationship: { kind: "detached" }` creates a sibling/root agent (e.g. handoffs, fire-and-forget delegations). The daemon may still use the creating agent for cwd/config inheritance, but it does not write `paseo.parent-agent-id`.

 - **Subagents** — exist as part of the creating agent's work, appear in that agent's subagent track, and are archived with it.
- **Detached agents** — stand on their own after an explicit detach transition, do not appear in the former parent's subagent track, and are not archived with it.
+- **Detached agents** — stand on their own, do not appear in the creating agent's subagent track, and are not archived with it.

-Parent archive detaches a subagent instead of archiving it when either condition holds:
+`workspace: { kind: "current" }` uses the caller's workspace and can optionally override the runtime cwd. It requires an agent-scoped MCP session. `workspace: { kind: "create", source: { kind: "directory" | "worktree", ... } }` creates a new workspace for the new agent; worktree creation goes through the Paseo worktree workflow and stamps the agent with that fresh workspace id.

- The child belongs to another workspace.
- The child is currently open in an agent tab.
-
-All other children archive with the parent. After the workspace layout hydrates, the client marks
-every managed subagent present in its tabs with `paseo.open-agent-tab.<client-id>=true` through the
-generic agent metadata update. This includes background and restored tabs; navigation does not own
-the marker. Closing a tab sets that client's label to `false`. Any `true` client label keeps the child
-open. Detach clears the parent and every open-tab label. The surviving child therefore becomes a
-normal root agent immediately, and closing its still-open tab archives it.
-
-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 only selects an existing workspace.
-
-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 background 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.
-Permission requests are notification checkpoints, not the end of that subscription. The caller is notified again after a permission response when the child finishes, errors, or requests another permission.
-The permission notification includes the normalized request plus the child and request IDs, so the caller can inspect it and respond without fetching agent status.
-A watched child that closes before its finish event also notifies the caller so delegated work cannot disappear silently during archive or workspace teardown.
-
-## Provider-managed child agents
-
-Some providers can create their own child sessions inside one provider runtime. OMP's task tool reports these with `child_session` events; `AgentManager` imports the live provider handle, stamps `paseo.parent-agent-id`, and surfaces the result as a normal subagent in the parent's subagents track.
-
-The provider still owns the underlying runtime. Paseo keeps an agent record so the child can be opened, tracked, archived, and cascaded with the parent, but prompts and history hydration route through the provider adapter for that native child handle.

 ## Archive

 Archive is a **soft delete**: the agent record stays on disk with `archivedAt` set, the runtime is closed, and the agent disappears from active lists. Archive is **global** — it lives on the server and propagates to every connected client.

-Archive sets `archivedAt`, invokes the provider's native archive hook, and cascades to managed
-children.
-
-`create_agent_request` can opt an agent into `autoArchive`. In that mode the daemon archives the agent after the first terminal turn event (`turn_completed`, `turn_failed`, or `turn_canceled`). When the agent owns an isolated workspace, auto-archive archives that workspace too; the managed worktree is removed when its final workspace reference is gone.

@@ -148,68 +59,27 @@ These are two distinct concepts that used to be conflated:

 Closing a tab on a **root agent** still archives — the tab is the agent's home, so closing it means "I'm done with this agent." A confirm dialog protects against archiving a running agent by accident.

-Closing a tab on a **subagent** (any agent with `parentAgentId`) is **layout-only**. The app clears the current client's open-tab label before removing the tab. Another client's open tab remains protected. The agent stays unarchived and stays in its parent's track, so a later parent archive cascades to it when no client still has it open. The user can re-open the tab from the track at any time. Single and bulk tab close apply the same policy.
+Closing a tab on a **subagent** (any agent with `parentAgentId`) is **layout-only**. The agent stays unarchived and stays in its parent's track. The user can re-open the tab from the track at any time. This is implemented in `handleCloseAgentTab` (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`).

-The asymmetry is intentional: a subagent's persistent relationship lives in the parent's track. Same-workspace subagents are not auto-opened as tabs; the user opens one from that track when needed. A cross-workspace subagent is also auto-opened as a tab in its own workspace so opening that workspace does not appear empty. It remains in the parent's track until it is actually detached.
+The asymmetry is intentional: a subagent's home is the parent's track, not the tab. Tabs are ephemeral viewing slots; the track is the persistent record of the parent's children.

 ## Workspace activity

 Agent lifecycle status stays literal: a parent agent is `idle` when its own turn is idle, even if a child is running.

-Workspace status is an aggregate activity signal computed **per `workspaceId`**. Ownership is never derived from `cwd` — many workspaces may share one directory, and same-`cwd` siblings do not clump under one status. Root agents and cross-workspace subagents contribute their normal state bucket to their own workspace. Same-workspace descendants contribute `running` to the nearest ancestor in that workspace; their non-running attention, permission, and error states stay in the parent's subagents track. This makes a cross-workspace subagent behave like a detached agent for workspace visibility and status without removing its parent relationship.
-
-Running provider-native subagents contribute `running` to the workspace owned by their parent agent. Their completed, failed, and canceled states stay in the parent's subagents track.
-
-A finished workspace can be marked unread after it has been reviewed. The daemon restores
-`finished` attention on its newest eligible workspace-root agent without sending a new completion
-notification. Opening the workspace clears that attention through the normal focus flow.
-
-Attention is set by the agent finishing or failing and cleared by the client's
-`workspace.clear_attention`, which fires when the user reads the chat. Loading an agent's runtime is
-neither, so resuming carries the stored attention and the stored last-activity time through
-untouched. Forging either makes a background resume look like the user read a workspace and like the
-agent worked in it just now, which rewrites the sidebar timestamp permanently — persisted
-`updatedAt` is what workspace `statusEnteredAt` is re-derived from on the next daemon start.
+Workspace status is an aggregate activity signal computed **per `workspaceId`**: a workspace's status reflects only records whose `workspaceId === workspace.id`. Ownership is never derived from `cwd` — many workspaces may share one directory, and same-`cwd` siblings do not clump under one status. A root agent contributes its normal state bucket to its owning workspace only. Running subagents contribute `running` to their root parent's owning workspace (by the parent agent's `workspaceId`), not to the subagent's current `cwd` or worktree. Non-running subagent attention, permission, and error states stay in the parent's subagents track and do not escalate the workspace bucket.

 ## The subagents track

-The track is a pill at the foot of an agent's pane (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`): a count you can read at a glance, and a panel behind it — a popover on wide screens, a sheet on compact ones — holding the rows. It floats over the transcript rather than sitting in a band above the composer, so the timeline scrolls underneath it; `packages/app/src/panels/agent-tracks.tsx` owns that placement, and the pill frame is shared with the task list in `packages/app/src/composer/tracks.tsx`.
-
-The rows combine two kinds of children:
-
- **Paseo subagents** are full managed agents. Their membership rule (`packages/app/src/subagents/select.ts`) is:
+The collapsible track above the composer in an agent's pane (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`). Membership rule (`packages/app/src/subagents/select.ts`):

 ```
 parentAgentId === thisAgent.id  AND  !archivedAt
 ```

- **Provider subagents** are child executions owned by Claude, Codex, or OpenCode. They are not inserted into `AgentManager` as managed agents. 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. A descriptor's optional `parentSubagentId` identifies its direct provider-subagent parent; an absent value identifies a direct child of the managed agent.
+Archived subagents disappear from the track, by design. To remove a subagent from the track without closing its tab, use the **archive button (X)** on the row — it opens a confirm dialog and archives the subagent on confirm. That same archive shows the subagent leave the track on every connected client.

-Clicking either kind opens a workspace tab. A Paseo subagent tab is a normal interactive agent pane. A provider subagent tab is a read-only timeline pane with no composer, archive, detach, rewind, or fork actions. It shows its own direct children in a subagents track. Both panes use `AgentStreamView`, so message, reasoning, tool-call, and layout rendering stay identical.
-
-Provider timelines use the same structural timeline item format but deliberately have a separate lifecycle and transport. A provider thread/session identifier is not a Paseo agent identifier, and closing its tab is always layout-only.
-
-Provider descriptors may include one compact subtitle. The provider owns its contents and formatting; clients display and truncate it without interpreting provider-specific model, thinking, or usage fields.
-
-### Claude provider subagents: the task protocol
-
-Claude Code announces subagent lifecycle on the SDK stream (`task_started` / `task_updated` / `task_notification` / `task_progress`), and Paseo reads those announcements rather than reconstructing them from sidechain frames. The live source (`subagents/live-source.ts`) and the replay source (`subagents/replay-source.ts`) both translate into one observation vocabulary (`subagents/observation.ts`), so a fact is derived once for both paths instead of once per path. Gotchas that are not obvious from the SDK types:
-
- **Not every announced task belongs in the track.** Task subagents announce as `local_agent` and workflows as `local_workflow`; a backgrounded shell announces as `local_bash` with the same `tool_use_id` shape, and ambient housekeeping sets `skip_transcript`. The Claude provider normalizes a workflow to a generic provider-subagent descriptor titled `Workflow`, using Claude's summary as its description and timeline opener. Shared storage, protocol, and UI do not distinguish it from another provider subagent.
- **A task that was never declared gets no descriptor, by any route.** Filtered tasks still emit `task_notification`s carrying a `tool_use_id`, and still emit frames carrying `parent_tool_use_id`. Attributing either produces a descriptor with no identity and a defaulted `running` status — a nameless row that never finishes. Status, presentation updates, and sidechain frames all route through the declaration table.
- **Task ids are session-scoped, not turn-scoped.** Cancelling a turn must not clear the routing table: a backgrounded child settles after the interrupt and needs its descriptor to still exist. Cancellation instead terminalizes the declared children that were running in the foreground, and a later `task_notification` is free to correct that guess. Backgrounded children are identified by `task_updated.patch.is_backgrounded`.
- **A resumed task can be announced again with a new `tool_use_id`.** The first Task tool id remains the canonical descriptor and later ids are routing aliases for the same session-scoped task. The resumed prompt is added to that child timeline.
- **Effort is only reachable through hooks.** It appears nowhere on the message stream at any depth, and the level Paseo requests is not necessarily the level that runs — a model that does not support it is silently downgraded. A hook firing inside a subagent reports the active post-downgrade level next to its `agent_id`, which is the same id `task_started` calls `task_id`.
- **Backgrounded subagents emit no frames carrying `parent_tool_use_id` at all.** Everything keyed off that field sees nothing for one; they are visible only because the task protocol announces them.
- **Nested ownership comes from the launching sidechain, not `spawn_depth` alone.** A sidechain's Agent or Bash tool call records the direct owner of that `tool_use_id`; the following `task_started` inherits it. This routes a grandchild descriptor and child-owned background notifications without relying on labels or flattening them into the managed parent.
- **On replay, `<session>/subagents/` holds every descendant beside the root.** Resolve the tree one proven generation at a time: the root transcript admits direct children, then each admitted sidechain transcript admits its children by `toolUseId`. `spawnDepth` orders candidates but does not establish ownership. Unresolved sidecars remain excluded as ambient or unrelated work.
- **Replay `totalTokens` is a context-size reading, not cumulative spend.** Claude Code finalizes a subagent by summing the _last_ assistant message's usage block and shipping that as `usage.total_tokens`. Summing per-entry usage instead multiplies the cached prefix by the turn count and reports a number several times larger than the live path.
-
-Archived Paseo subagents disappear from the track, by design. To remove one from the track without closing its tab, use the **archive button** on the row — it opens a confirm dialog and archives the subagent on confirm. Provider-owned rows have no individual Paseo lifecycle controls.
-
-The **Archive finished** row at the foot of the panel covers every finished row. It archives idle or errored managed Paseo subagents one at a time, and hides completed, failed, or canceled provider-owned rows in the current app session. Native sessions and timelines are untouched. Running and initializing children remain in the track. If a hidden provider child starts running again, the app brings it back to the track.
-
-To keep the agent alive but remove it from the parent's track, use **detach**. The daemon clears the relationship lifecycle labels, emits the normal agent update, and every client reclassifies the agent from subagent to root/sibling from that updated snapshot.

-# Agent stream performance
-
-How assistant text gets from a provider to the screen, and why it is paced on the way. Read this before changing `packages/server/src/server/agent/agent-stream-coalescer.ts`, the reducer queue in `packages/app/src/timeline/session-stream-reducers.ts`, or the reveal in `packages/app/src/hooks/use-revealed-text.ts`.
-
-For terminal output, which is a separate pipeline with separate budgets, see [terminal-performance.md](terminal-performance.md).
-
-## The pipeline
-
-```
-provider deltas (every provider streams incrementally)
-  → AgentStreamCoalescer (daemon, leading + trailing, ≤1 message per 60ms per agent)
-  → recordTimeline: one canonical row per flushed item
-  → agent_stream ws message
-  → reducer queue (app, one commit per frame) → session store
-  → source-item plugin transforms → native Markdown blocks / tool grouping
-  → paced reveal (app, per displayed item) → paint
-```
-
-Every provider delivers incremental text, so there is no provider that needs special handling: Claude via `includePartialMessages`, Codex via `agent_message_delta`, ACP agents via `agent_message_chunk`, Pi and OMP via `text_delta`.
-
-## Why the reveal is paced
-
-Arrival is lumpy and there is no fixing that at the source. A 60ms coalescing window carries however many characters the model produced in those 60ms, which swings by an order of magnitude within a single turn. Painting each delta as it lands makes the size of those lumps visible, and that is what reads as jagged.
-
-So arrival sets a _target_ and the reveal rate is derived from the backlog instead. A burst makes the text catch up faster; it does not make the text jump. Shrinking the coalescing window does not fix this — it makes the lumps smaller and more frequent, at the cost of message rate on a daemon loop that already contends with terminal frames and per-message relay encryption.
-
-## Invariants
-
- **The coalescer is leading + trailing.** The first delta after an idle window flushes synchronously; only the rest of the burst waits for the trailing timer. Reverting to trailing-only adds a full window to the first character of every turn. Same shape and the same reason as `TerminalOutputCoalescer`.
- **The leading flush adds a canonical row, and that is fine.** A burst's first chunk lands as its own timeline row. `mergeAssistantChunks` / `mergeReasoningChunks` in `timeline-projection.ts` join contiguous same-turn rows, and clients read the projected timeline, so history is unaffected. Tests that assert on raw rows have to account for the extra row; tests that assert on what a client sees do not.
- **The store holds the full text; only the rendered slice is paced.** Copy, selection, the chat outline, and scroll geometry all read the same string the user can see. Pacing the store instead would leave the bottom anchor chasing a content height that is ahead of the reveal.
- **Markdown blocks belong to presentation, and every assistant message is a block group.**
-  `agent-stream/presentation.ts` splits a message into one display row per Markdown block, the same
-  way whether it arrived streaming or as fetched history. Splitting in the reducer instead would
-  discard paragraph separators and expose fragments to plugin callbacks, which need the whole source
-  text. Live-head work stays cheap by parsing only the growing last block during append, retaining
-  completed blocks by object identity, and caching the split per source item so a tail change does
-  not re-split history. History was once left whole to keep cross-block Markdown context; that gave
-  one message two shapes depending on how it arrived, and message-addressed features only worked on
-  one of them.
- **A row id is never a message id.** Block rows are `${messageId}:block:${n}` with
-  `blockGroupId = messageId`, including single-block messages, so nothing can come to rely on the two
-  being equal. `getStreamItemMessageId` in `presentation.ts` is the only way to go from a row to its
-  message, and web rows carry it as `data-message-id` alongside `data-history-row-id`. Anything
-  addressing a message — chat find, scroll-to-message, history reveal, the find expansion that lifts
-  the render cap — uses the message id and must expect several rows to answer to it. Row ids stay for
-  React keys, virtualizer measurement, scroll anchors, and per-row caches like assistant image
-  occurrence keys.
- **First sight of a text is revealed whole.** Only growth is paced. This is what makes history hydration, timeline replay, a virtualized row remounting on scroll, and an already-finished message all render complete on first paint without a special case for each.
- **Leaving `phase: "streaming"` snaps the reveal.** A completed turn must never be left holding characters. `layoutStream` sets the phase, so anything outside the live head with an active turn is already complete.
- **The reducer queue commits on a frame, with a timer as the ceiling.** A frame callback never fires in a hidden tab, so a timer races it and wins when nothing is painting — the store has to keep advancing either way.
- **A history row re-renders only when its item or layout item identity changes.** The inverted
-  FlatList hands every mounted cell a new `index` and `ref` whenever a row is prepended, so without a
-  memo boundary each coalesced tick re-rendered every mounted row (about 50 on a phone, 100–250 ms of
-  JS per tick). `layoutStream` keeps a layout item's identity when nothing about it changed,
-  `useRevisedHistoryRows` hands a fresh item identity to rows whose tool-call group, expanded state,
-  or breakpoint changed, and `HistoryStreamRow` memoizes on both. Every viewport runs its history
-  through that hook; the web viewport once skipped it and history hosts of a live tool group went
-  stale. A new field on `StreamLayoutItem` must be added to `areLayoutItemsEquivalent`, or sharing
-  silently stops.
-
-## Measuring
-
- **Smoothness (user-perceived):** `packages/app/e2e/browser/agent-stream-smoothness.spec.ts`, gated behind `PASEO_AGENT_STREAM_PERF_E2E=1`. Drives the mock provider's `bursty-stream` model and reports coefficient of variation of characters painted per frame (smoothness) plus p95 gap between visible updates (stalls). Both numbers are needed: a stalled stream is perfectly smooth.
- **Reproducing bursty arrival:** the `bursty-stream` model in `mock-load-test-agent.ts` emits uneven runs of tokens separated by idle gaps. Burst sizes come from a seeded generator, so a run repeats exactly.
- **Rate policy in isolation:** `computeRevealStep` in `packages/app/src/agent-stream/text-reveal.ts` is pure; `text-reveal.test.ts` covers convergence and burst flattening without a renderer.
-
-Healthy numbers (2026-08, Expo web against a local dev daemon, real Claude Haiku agent, ~8.5s samples during active streaming). Setting `TEXT_REVEAL_HORIZON_MS` to 0 makes the reveal paint on arrival, which is how the baseline column was taken:
-
-|                                  | paint on arrival | paced |
-| -------------------------------- | ---------------- | ----- |
-| frames that advanced the text    | 6%               | 87%   |
-| chars-per-frame CV               | 4.11             | 1.86  |
-| gap between visible updates, p50 | 317ms            | 17ms  |
-| gap between visible updates, p95 | 383ms            | 17ms  |
-
-Total characters painted is roughly the same either way — the reveal changes when they land, not how many arrive.
-
-Measure the **total** length across every `assistant-message` element, not the last one. A turn emits many assistant messages, so the tail element keeps changing identity and its length is not monotonic; sampling only the tail reads those handovers as resets and reports almost no growth. `sampleStreamFrames` does this correctly.

-## Version codes
-
-`packages/app/native-release-version.js` is the single definition of native and F-Droid version-code math. Do not re-derive these numbers anywhere else — a drifted copy produces changelog files that match no published APK, and nothing fails loudly.
-
-The base version code comes from the package version:
-
-```text
-major * 1_000_000 + minor * 1_000 + patch
-```
-
-Prerelease metadata is ignored, so `0.1.102-beta.1` and `0.1.102` both produce `1102`. The same value is used as the iOS `buildNumber` because `packages/app/eas.json` uses EAS's local app version source. Do not re-enable EAS remote version counters or Android `autoIncrement`; F-Droid and other source-based builders need the native build number to be visible in the repo.
-
-The formula reserves three digits each for minor and patch. If either reaches `1000`, change the formula before cutting that release.
-
-## Prerequisites (local dev)
-
-Local Android builds run on macOS (or Linux) and need the Android toolchain, pinned in `.tool-versions` (`java 21`, `android-sdk 21.0`) and wired up by `.mise.toml` (which derives `ANDROID_HOME` and the command-line tool paths from the `android-sdk` entry). With [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev):
-
-```bash
-mise install        # java 21 + android-sdk 21.0 command-line tools
-```
-
-> **Pin a real `android-sdk` version, not `latest`.** The mise `android-sdk` plugin's `latest` resolved to the ancient `1.0` bundle, whose `sdkmanager` (3.6.0) predates the `emulator` package and fails with `Failed to find package emulator`. `21.0` ships a current `sdkmanager`. If you bump it, update only the version in `.tool-versions`; `.mise.toml` derives its paths from that tool entry.
-
-`mise install` only lays down the command-line tools. Install the rest and create an emulator. On Apple Silicon:
-
-```bash
-sdkmanager --licenses
-sdkmanager "platform-tools" "emulator" "platforms;android-35" "build-tools;35.0.0" \
-           "system-images;android-35;google_apis;arm64-v8a"
-avdmanager create avd -n paseo -k "system-images;android-35;google_apis;arm64-v8a" -d pixel_7
-emulator @paseo     # start it; leave running
-```
-
-On an Intel Mac, use the `x86_64` system image:
-
-```bash
-sdkmanager --licenses
-sdkmanager "platform-tools" "emulator" "platforms;android-35" "build-tools;35.0.0" \
-           "system-images;android-35;google_apis;x86_64"
-avdmanager create avd -n paseo -k "system-images;android-35;google_apis;x86_64" -d pixel_7
-emulator @paseo     # start it; leave running
-```
-
-Gradle auto-fetches the platform/build-tools it needs once licenses are accepted, so adjust `android-35` only if it asks for a different level.

-## Running on an emulator against a worktree daemon
-
-`npm run android` builds and installs the dev client, but two connections have to reach your Mac from inside the emulator — Metro (the JS bundle) and the Paseo daemon — and **the emulator does not share the host's loopback**: `localhost` inside the emulator is the emulator itself. Reach the host at `10.0.2.2` (the standard AVD's host alias) for both:
-
-```bash
-REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=10.0.2.2 \
-  EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=10.0.2.2:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT \
-  npm run android
-```
-
- **`REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=10.0.2.2`** — without it, Expo bakes your Mac's LAN IP into the dev client's Metro URL, which the emulator can't route to, and the app dies with `Failed to connect to /<lan-ip>:8081` before any JS loads.
- **`EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=10.0.2.2:<port>`** — the client's daemon endpoint (`packages/app/src/runtime/host-runtime.ts`); when unset it defaults to `localhost:6767`, the production daemon. Use `$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT` for a worktree daemon running as a Paseo service, or `6768` for a standalone `npm run dev:server`. It is inlined into the JS bundle at Metro bundle time, so set it on the build command and clear the Metro cache (`npx expo start -c`) if a change doesn't take.
-
-**Alternative — `adb reverse` + `localhost`** (if `10.0.2.2` misbehaves):
-
-```bash
-adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081
-adb reverse tcp:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT tcp:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT
-REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=localhost \
-  EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=localhost:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT \
-  npm run android
-```
-
-This is the Android counterpart of the iOS local-simulator flow in [development.md](development.md): on iOS the simulator shares the Mac's loopback so `localhost:<port>` works directly; on Android you need `10.0.2.2` or `adb reverse`.
-
-## Inverted timeline selection
-
-Android focus and selection visibility requests must not reposition inverted timelines. The
-`modules/paseo-scroll` package keeps React Native's scroll manager interface and returns zero for
-child-reveal scroll calculations when the vertical scale is inverted. Dragging and explicit scroll
-commands still work; non-inverted scroll views keep Android's default behavior.
-
-Register this package before React Native's core package through its Expo config plugin. Normal
-Android builds use the prebuilt `react-android` library, so patching Java under `node_modules` does
-not change the shipped scroll view. Keep this behavior in the app's compiled native module.
-
-## F-Droid / source-only Android builds
-
-F-Droid builds should set `PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1` when running Expo prebuild:
-
-```bash
-cd packages/app
-PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1 APP_VARIANT=production npx expo prebuild --platform android --clean --non-interactive
-cd android
-PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1 ./gradlew assembleRelease --no-daemon --max-workers=1 -Dorg.gradle.parallel=false
-```
-
-The flag must be present for both prebuild and Gradle because Gradle starts Metro for the release bundle. Keep the source build serial and daemon-free as shown above: compiling every Expo module can exhaust memory when Gradle workers run in parallel. The profile enables source-built Expo modules, excludes the proprietary camera, Firebase notification, and Expo development-client native modules, disables Gradle dependency metadata, and substitutes JavaScript stubs for camera and notifications. The resulting app supports direct and pasted-link pairing but not QR scanning or push notifications.
-
-For a single-ABI APK, pass React Native's architecture property to Gradle:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1 ./gradlew assembleRelease \
-  -PreactNativeArchitectures=arm64-v8a \
-  --no-daemon --max-workers=1 -Dorg.gradle.parallel=false
-```
-
-Supported values are `armeabi-v7a`, `arm64-v8a`, `x86`, and `x86_64`. The F-Droid profile filters native libraries to that ABI and changes the APK version code to `baseVersionCode * 10 + abiSuffix`, where the suffixes are ordered `1` through `4` in that same sequence. F-Droid metadata should use four build blocks with `VercodeOperation` entries `10 * %c + 1` through `10 * %c + 4` and pass the matching `reactNativeArchitectures` value in each build command. Builds without a single architecture keep the base version code.
-
-Keep the excluded npm packages installed. Normal builds use them, while the F-Droid profile removes only their Android native modules and config plugins. Paseo always applies `expo-gradle-jvmargs` with `-Xmx4096m` and `-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=1024m` so local Expo prebuilds have enough Gradle heap whether they use precompiled AARs or source-built Expo modules.
-
-The EAS `production-apk` profile uses the large Android resource class. Release builds compile the native ABIs and run Hermes bundling in the same Gradle invocation; the default worker can exhaust its remaining memory and kill Hermes with exit code 137 even when Gradle's own heap is correctly sized.
-
-### F-Droid store metadata
-
-F-Droid reads the store listing from `fastlane/metadata/android/<locale>/` **at the repo root**. This location provides the best compatibility with the F-Droid release process.
-
-```text
-fastlane/metadata/android/
-├── en-US/                      (F-Droid fallback locale, mandatory)

-Locale directories generally match `packages/app/src/i18n/locales.ts`, but note that `en` becomes `en-US`.
-
-F-Droid changelogs are generated from `CHANGELOG.md`. Run `npm run fdroid:changelogs`; `npm run fdroid:changelogs:check` verifies without writing. It is wired into the npm `version` lifecycle, so a release picks it up automatically and `git add -A` stages the result.
-
-One changelog must be generated per-ABI-split, so each version will create **four** identical version-coded entries. F-Droid caps changelogs at 500 characters, so the generator strips some content and adds a link to the full notes.
-
-Stable sync fails loudly if `CHANGELOG.md` has no entry for the version being cut. That is intentional — the release checklist requires the entry to be committed first, so an abort here means the checklist was skipped.
-
-Because the generator runs off the version in `package.json`, it must run **before** the tag is created: fdroidserver only reads metadata from the tag it builds, so the file for version N has to exist in the commit N points at.
-
-Beta releases are an explicit no-op: they do not create or rewrite F-Droid changelog files. Stable releases and promotions generate the four ABI entries from their final changelog.

 ### React version lockstep

 Keep `react` and `react-dom` pinned to the React version embedded by the current `react-native` release. React Native `0.81.x` embeds `react-native-renderer` `19.1.0`, so `packages/app` must use React `19.1.0`. Bumping React to a newer patch can build successfully but crash at JS startup on Android with `Incompatible React versions`, leaving the app on the native splash screen.

 ### `packages/app` — Mobile + web client (Expo)

 Cross-platform React Native app that connects to one or more daemons.

- Expo Router navigation (`/h/[serverId]/workspace/[workspaceId]`, `/h/[serverId]/agent/[agentId]`, etc.). The `workspaceId` URL segment is an opaque workspace id, not a directly meaningful filesystem path.
- `HostRuntimeController` manages saved host connections, reconnection, and per-host runtime state. Direct TCP and relay connections use the ordinary client transport; desktop socket, pipe, and SSH connections cross one Electron-owned transport boundary. SSH only tunnels to an already-running daemon.
- `runtime/replica-cache` is typed storage behind the directory and timeline owners. It never observes or mutates `SessionStore`.
- `runtime/directory-sync` owns directory cache selection and network reconciliation. On demand it paints accepted rows for one host, then passes the persisted per-entity cursor through `project.list`, `fetch_workspaces`, and `fetch_agents`; the daemon returns each entity's latest projection when its sequence is newer, plus tombstones.
- `workspace-labels` owns one sequenced catalog replica per connected host, the deterministic cross-host projection that surfaces spanning hosts use (the filter page, the manager), and the per-host resolution a workspace row's chips use. Two hosts may give one name different colors, so a row resolves against its own host's catalog and a merged answer would be wrong there. Catalogs never synchronize between hosts; assignment creates a missing definition only on the target host. On the daemon, catalog and assignment rewrites share a journaled commit boundary. Startup recovery completes that commit before workspace or catalog publication.
+- Expo Router navigation (`/h/[serverId]/workspace/[workspaceId]`, `/h/[serverId]/agent/[agentId]`, etc.). The `workspaceId` URL segment is an opaque workspace id (path-shaped today and opaque-encoded for routing), not a directly meaningful filesystem path.
+- `HostRuntimeController` manages saved host connections, reconnection, and per-host runtime state
 - `SessionContext` wraps the daemon client for the active session
 - Composer UI and submit/draft behavior live in `packages/app/src/composer/`; screens and panels should integrate it from there instead of dropping composer internals into `components/`, `hooks/`, or `screens/workspace/`
 - Timeline reducers in `timeline/session-stream-reducers.ts` handle compaction, gap detection, sequence-based deduplication
 - Timeline sync correctness is documented in [docs/timeline-sync.md](timeline-sync.md): live streams are for immediacy, `fetch_agent_timeline_request` is authoritative, and catch-up is paged but complete.
 - Voice features: dictation (STT) and voice agent (realtime)

-Consumers request directory or timeline data without choosing memory, cache, or network. The owner
-publishes an accepted cache hit and then reconciles it over the existing network path. A miss or an
-invalid row uses that same path. Offline demand still publishes an accepted cache hit and defers
-network reconciliation. Cache loading is demand-driven: opening a chat reads its agent row and
-focused timeline row, plus the workspace and project rows needed by the route; opening a directory
-reads directory rows for that host and establishes its live subscription when connected. Accepted
-cached rows satisfy the same consumer-readiness projection as network rows. Host registry startup and
-host connection do not create directory demand or install replicas. The directory owner retains
-declared surface demand and re-establishes network reconciliation after reconnect; React does not
-track connection generations. Late cache reads cannot replace state already advanced by live or
-authoritative network data. Owners explicitly persist accepted commits; directory rows and their
-checkpoint share one storage transaction. See
-[data-model.md](data-model.md#replica-row-store)
-for the storage shape and [timeline-sync.md](timeline-sync.md#client-replica-lifetime) for timeline
-resume behavior.
-
-The three directory entity types have independent monotonic sequences and share one daemon
-generation. The daemon retains only the latest projection per entity and bounded tombstones, not an
-event log. A missing, expired, or previous-generation cursor receives a full snapshot. Projects are
-independent records; a project with no workspaces does not need a workspace placeholder.
-
-Workspace label definitions use a separate, explicitly subscribed sequence. The list request both
-fetches and grants live updates for that session. A current cursor receives an empty correlated
-catch-up response when nothing changed; idle sessions and unsubscribed sessions receive no label
-traffic. Workspace assignments stay on the workspace directory sequence.

 **Multi-window (hybrid land-on model).** `createWindow()` in `main.ts` is reusable: `⌘⇧N`/File→New Window, relaunching the app (`second-instance`), and the sidebar "Open in new window" action each open a fresh `BrowserWindow`. Every window shows the full sidebar — there is no per-window project ownership or filtering. "Land on a project" is delivered by a per-`webContents` `PendingOpenProjectStore`: each window pulls its own pending project path on mount (`paseo:get-pending-open-project`) and runs the normal open-project flow, identical to a CLI `paseo <path>` launch.

 > **Window-state v1 limitation:** only the _first_ window of a session restores and persists saved geometry (size/position/maximized). Windows opened via ⌘⇧N / second-instance / "Open in new window" open at the default size, OS-cascaded, and do not persist — this avoids every window stacking on the same restored bounds and fighting over the single window-state store. Lifting this needs per-window state keys.
 >
-> **In-app browser profile.** Every browser guest uses one stable persistent Electron session, so cookies, authentication, cache, and site storage are shared across tabs, workspaces, and desktop windows and survive tab or app closure. Browser identity is independent of that storage partition: after every `did-attach`, the renderer explicitly registers its browser id, workspace id, and current guest `WebContents` id, and main accepts the registration only when that guest belongs to the calling renderer and the shared profile. Registration is intentionally repeated because reparenting a retained `<webview>` can replace its guest without replacing the DOM element. Settings > General > Clear browser data is the sole profile-deletion path; it clears the shared session and reloads live guests without deleting saved tabs or URLs.
->
-> **In-app browser window opens.** Ordinary link opens, including Shift-clicked links, become Paseo workspace tabs. Script-created opens with popup features or a named window target and POST-backed opens remain secured Electron child windows in the shared browser profile, preserving `window.opener`, `postMessage`, named-window reuse, request bodies, and `window.close()` for OAuth, payment, and similar popup protocols. Unsupported URL schemes are denied before either path.
->
-> **In-app browser ownership.** Each registered guest records its owning host window. The active browser is keyed by `(host window, workspace)`, and application-menu Reload / Force Reload resolve only within the window Electron supplies to the menu callback. A non-null active update must name a browser owned by that host; a null update clears only that host/workspace. Browser automation continues to target explicit browser ids returned by `browser_new_tab` or `browser_list_tabs`.
->
-> **Browser keyboard boundary.** Guest pages receive renderer-published shortcuts first. `Cmd/Ctrl+L` and `Cmd/Ctrl+R` are explicit guest-shell reservations; ordinary Paseo shortcuts run only after the page declines them. The sandboxed guest preload runs in every frame so focused iframes use the same boundary, while Node integration remains disabled. Human guest input disables Electron's menu fallback for plain keys. Agent-generated keys use guest `sendInputEvent` with `skipIfUnhandled`, so an unhandled Enter stops at the guest instead of reaching the host composer. Main selects the preload; it exposes no APIs to guest pages.

+> **In-app browser panes are not yet per-window.** Browser webviews are tracked by one process-global registry that keeps a single current `WebContents` per browser id. Human focus still records the workspace-active browser for UI state and `list_tabs` reporting, but agent automation targets only explicit browser ids returned by `browser_new_tab` or `browser_list_tabs`. The webview registration queue (`pendingBrowserWebviewIds` in `main.ts`) is still process-global. With browser panes open in two windows, a menu Reload can target the other window's webview, and near-simultaneous webview attach across windows can register under the wrong browser id. Multi-window v1 ships windows; making the browser-webview subsystem window-scoped is a follow-up.

+There is no dedicated welcome message; the server emits a `status` session message after accepting the hello, then begins streaming. The session stores client capabilities from the hello and rehydrates them on reconnect, so the wire boundary can ask one question: `session.supports(...)`.

 **Top-level WS envelopes** are `hello`, `recording_state`, `ping`/`pong`, and `session` (which wraps the rich union of session messages).

-Client liveness checks use the top-level JSON `ping`/`pong` envelope, not a session RPC or RFC6455 control ping. Current clients ping every 10 seconds, beginning one interval after connecting. The first ping claims an application-ownership lease for that physical socket, all later inbound activity renews it, and the daemon forcibly terminates the socket if the lease expires. A legacy or raw socket that never sends an application ping never enters this lease and is not closed for omitting one. Session RPC timeouts are operation failures, not proof that the socket is dead. A subscription bootstrap timeout closes its source to clear any unknown server-owned registration; the failed handle is released before other surviving handles reconnect.
-
-Every physical send path enforces an 8 MiB outbound high-water mark, including JSON broadcasts, binary terminal frames, and the encrypted relay adapter's asynchronous queue. This sits above the terminal stream's 4 MiB soft backpressure threshold, leaving room for snapshot catch-up before the hard cutoff. JSON is serialized once per broadcast after sockets already at the limit are removed, then its exact byte length is checked for every remaining socket. A frame that would cross the limit is not sent; that physical socket is forcibly terminated without disturbing other sockets attached to the same logical session. Multiple tabs and simultaneous direct and relay paths may legitimately share a client id.
+Client liveness checks use the top-level JSON `ping`/`pong` envelope, not a session RPC and not RFC6455 protocol ping. The app runs through browser and React Native WebSocket APIs, which do not expose protocol ping, so this envelope is the portable way to test the direct or relay data path. Session RPC timeouts are operation failures and must not be treated as proof that the socket is dead.

-The supervisor alone publishes its ready worker's endpoint in `paseo.pid`, clears it before respawn, and fails if any worker exits before first readiness. CLI home selection trusts only that live record; config expresses desired state, never an endpoint fallback. POSIX home stop signals the captured supervisor without TCP. Windows graceful stop and ordinary RPCs trust the published endpoint. This metadata is not cryptographic listener ownership: edited endpoints, copied identities, PID reuse, and address takeover races remain outside that guarantee. A stale heartbeat never permits reclaiming a live lock.
-
-Worker restart retains supervisor arguments/environment and rereads the configuration file. Updating a package and observing its new worker version do not refresh the running supervisor code; the launcher owns full-process replacement. See [CLI lifecycle contracts](../public-docs/cli.md#daemon-management).

-2. **Managed desktop**: Electron uses the server package’s local-instance lifecycle capability for sanitized launch, published readiness, and captured-PID stop. Only a matching `{pid, startedAt}` from a spawn in the current Desktop session authorizes automatic stop or binary replacement. Preexisting instances, including legacy `desktopManaged` records, are attach-only. Keep-running survivors attach in the next session. Explicit attached Stop requires a confirmation naming the captured home/PID. Ordinary Restart uses the worker RPC on every app platform.

 ## Mechanism

 Electron captures copy from the guest web contents' compositor surface. A resident
 webview parked with `display:none`, offscreen coordinates, or `opacity:0` can lose its
-copyable surface. Each production webview keeps one permanent body-level surface. Presenting
-or parking changes that surface's geometry without reparenting the webview. The parking state
-uses `left:0`, `top:0`, `width:1px`, `height:1px`, `overflow:hidden`, `opacity:1`, and
-`pointer-events:none`. The webview stays at its resolved logical viewport, defaulting to
-1280x800 before first presentation, with `display:inline-flex` at `left:0`, `top:0`.
-Presentation resolves responsive guests to the pane's exact pixel dimensions after the surface
-has visible bounds. Do not apply percentage guest sizing against the parked surface: Electron
-exposes the 1x1 parking geometry as a real guest resize before expanding it again.

+`width:1px`, `height:1px`, `overflow:hidden`, `opacity:1`, and `pointer-events:none`.
+The webviews inside stay full-size at 1280x800, `display:inline-flex`, and absolutely

-There is no renderer prep/restore handshake or lifetime background-throttling override.
-Screenshot capture temporarily enables frame production inside the shared serialized queue,
-restores the previous throttling policy on success or failure, and retains a 5-second capture budget.
-The browser tool takes one viewport frame through Electron's frame subscription and releases the
-subscription on completion or cancellation. A resized resident guest can produce fresh pixels
-while `capturePage()` leaves its surface-copy request pending; waiting for animation frames or
-retrying the copy does not repair that state. Full-page screenshots retain the CDP path with layout

 - Components render and dispatch — they don't compute transitions. Two-plus interacting `useState`s → extract a reducer.
 - Never define components inside other components. Module-scope only.
 - Subscribe narrowly: select primitives from stores, pass `status` not `agent`, use `useShallow` / deep-equal when returning derived arrays/objects.
- Collection rows do not independently subscribe to a high-frequency global store. The collection owner selects structurally shared indexes once, derives a keyed row model with `useMemo`, and passes entries to rows. This keeps retained hidden collections current without running one selector per row on every store update.
- Equality functions prevent React renders; they do not prevent selector callbacks from running. A selector attached to a hot store must be O(1) when its relevant source references have not changed.
- Retained native panels use `RetainedPanel`. If an existing gesture/layout wrapper must own visibility, wrap its contents in `RetainedPanelActivity` instead. Keep keyed panel roots in a stable sibling order, include the newly active panel in the same render, centralize subscriptions, and gate genuine effects through `useRetainedPanelActive`. Follow the [native ownership constraints and chat suspension boundary](mobile-panels.md) when stopping hidden rendering.
- Infinite animations are subscriptions. Start them only while their retained panel is active, and cancel a shared clock when its final active consumer leaves. Synchronized animations use one clock per animation family and feed active instances through local shared values; retained hidden instances stay mounted but unsubscribed. Match state updates to the actual visual cadence; do not run every style worklet at 60 fps when the rendered value changes only a few times per second.

-### Retained panel measurements
-
-Inactive retained panels use `display: none`, so DOM and layout APIs report zero width and height. A non-positive measurement means the surface is not rendered; it is never a valid compact layout.
-
- Suspend geometry-derived updates while either measured dimension is non-positive. Preserve the last valid state until the surface reports positive geometry again.
- Enforce the rule at the measurement boundary shared by every trigger. Guarding only an `onLayout` or `ResizeObserver` callback still lets effects, content changes, and imperative remeasurement publish hidden geometry.

 # Data Model

-## Project identity
-
-Projects are allocated for the exact root selected by the caller, normalized lexically with `path.resolve` (never `realpath`). New project IDs are opaque `prj_<16 hex>` values. Existing remote-shaped or path-shaped IDs are retained as readable compatibility records and are never rekeyed. An active exact root is idempotent; archived-only matches do not resurrect an old project. Workspace `projectId` is stable membership: reconciliation may update git-derived kind and branch metadata, but never rehomes a workspace or changes a project's root, ID, or default name.
-
-`projectKey` is a persisted, opaque equivalence key used only to group the same logical project
-across hosts. It is separate from the host-local `projectId`; today's producer prefers a normalized
-Git remote and otherwise uses the local project root. Consumers never derive it from live Git.
-Creation persists it with the project, and normal boot reconciliation fills it for
-older records where the field is absent—there is no migration.
-
-`kind` and `projectKey` are mutable metadata, not identity. Workspace reconciliation watches active project roots and
-updates those fields and `updatedAt` when Git facts change, preserving the project's ID, root path,
-names, and workspace foreign keys. Attached workspaces are independently refreshed
-from their own cwd, so an explicit project root never implies a workspace checkout. Empty projects
-are observed too.
-
-The workspace registry model defines placement once: initial directory/worktree construction,
-mutable reconciliation fields, and the persisted-to-wire checkout projection. Its update policy
-preserves `displayName` and `baseBranch`. `WorkspaceProvisioningService` owns the corresponding
-registry writes, so directory opens, agent imports, and worktree creation all enter through that
-service instead of constructing records independently. The workspace record is then the durable
-placement authority: `cwd` is the exact execution directory, while `worktreeRoot` is the backing
-checkout root. They intentionally differ for an exact subproject inside a worktree. Archive,
-restore, branch auto-name, and descriptor flows consume those persisted facts rather than
-rediscovering ownership from a directory that may already be gone. Reconciliation may refresh
-mutable placement facts, but never changes `projectId`, `cwd`, `displayName`, or `baseBranch`.
-Workspace archive runs lifecycle teardown from the exact `cwd` but removes only the backing
-`worktreeRoot` after its last active reference disappears. Worktree recovery recreates that backing
-checkout from `mainRepoRoot`, then restores the relative path from `worktreeRoot` to `cwd`.
-
 Paseo uses **file-based JSON persistence** instead of a traditional database. All data is validated at runtime with Zod schemas. Most stores write atomically (write to temp file, then rename); a few still use plain `writeFile` — see each section. There is no schema-versioning/migration framework — schemas rely on optional fields with defaults for forward compatibility, with a small amount of inline normalization in `persisted-config.ts` for legacy provider/speech entries.

 All fields are optional with sensible defaults.

-Managed plugins appear as directory sources in `config.json`; it owns the active path and enabled
-state. `plugins/sources.json` is written atomically and stores only managed kind and the Git acquisition
-remote. Installed revision, package/subdirectory identity and ownership root come from retained
-artifacts and the fixed managed layout; [managed source ownership](plugins.md#managed-source-ownership)
-explains their authority. An update prepares a new directory before replacing the active path and
-removing the previous version. Old record fields are accepted at the store boundary and ignored;
-there is no startup migration or persistent update policy.
-
-### Profile lists
-
-`terminalProfiles` and `agentProfiles` are both whole-list fields: a config patch replaces the
-array, never merges entries, so a client sends the complete next list on every add, edit, reorder
-and remove. List order is the display order.
-
-Absent and empty mean different things for terminal profiles — omitting the key falls back to
-`DEFAULT_TERMINAL_PROFILES`, while `[]` means the user removed them all. Agent profiles have no
-defaults, so both mean none.
-
-`PersistedConfigSchema` parses strictly, so a daemon that predates a field drops it on write
-rather than storing something it cannot describe. That is why the client gates the agent profiles
-UI on `server_info.features.agentProfiles` instead of letting a save appear to succeed against an
-older daemon.
-
-### Agent provider Paseo tools
-
-`agents.providers` is keyed by the exact provider ID used to launch the agent. The built-in IDs are
-`claude`, `codex`, `copilot`, `opencode`, `pi`, and `omp`. Custom provider IDs are their literal
-configuration keys, such as `my-claude` or `zai`, not the provider named by `extends`.
-
-Each entry may include a Paseo-tool policy:
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "providers": {
-      "my-claude": {
-        "extends": "claude",
-        "label": "My Claude",
-        "paseoTools": {
-          "enabled": true,
-          "disabledTools": ["browser_evaluate"]
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Absent `paseoTools`, or absent fields within it, means Paseo tools are enabled and all tools are
-allowed. `enabled: false` disables the provider's Paseo catalog; `disabledTools` lists exact tool
-IDs to omit. The policy covers the core and browser catalog, not the voice-only `speak` tool.
-Browser tools also require `daemon.browserTools.enabled` and a connected browser host.
-This policy controls the catalog presented to an agent. It is not an authorization boundary for
-agents that can access the host through a shell.
-
-`daemon.mcp.injectIntoAgents` is the global override. When it is `false`, no provider receives
-Paseo tools; otherwise the provider policy applies. Provider and global policy are resolved when a
-session is created, resumed, imported, or reloaded, so configuration changes affect the next
-session rather than an already-running one.
-
-`agents.metadataGeneration.providers` controls the preferred structured-generation fallback order for daemon-side metadata tasks such as commit messages, PR text, branch names, and generated agent titles. Entries are tried first in the configured order, then Paseo falls through to dynamically discovered defaults and finally the current selection when available.
-
-### Git process limits
-
-Git process limits are global to one daemon. The start-rate limit defaults to `64` processes per
-second, and the concurrency limit defaults to `8`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "daemon": {
-    "git": {
-      "maxProcessesPerSecond": 64,
-      "maxProcessConcurrency": 8
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-`maxProcessesPerSecond` limits Git process starts in any one-second interval. The allowance can
-start as a burst; it does not wait for earlier processes to exit. `maxProcessConcurrency` limits
-the number of Git processes that have started but not exited. Every Git command uses both limits,
-including initial workspace reads, filesystem-triggered refreshes, background checks, and explicit
-requests.
-
-Environment variables override `config.json`:
-
-| Environment variable                 | Setting                  |
-| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------ |
-| `PASEO_GIT_MAX_PROCESSES_PER_SECOND` | `maxProcessesPerSecond`  |
-| `PASEO_GIT_MAX_PROCESS_CONCURRENCY`  | `maxProcessConcurrency`  |
-| `PASEO_GIT_CONCURRENCY`              | Legacy concurrency alias |
-
-`PASEO_GIT_MAX_PROCESS_CONCURRENCY` wins when it and the legacy alias are both set. Run `paseo reload`
-after changing `config.json`. Environment changes require a daemon restart; the launch environment
-remains authoritative during reload.
-

-Uploading a file and pasting a website or image URL are two ways of _acquiring_ the same custom
-icon. The client fetches URL imports and sends their bytes through the upload RPC. The daemon never
-receives or fetches the URL; it validates the uploaded bytes, stores them, and records a new
-`customIconRevision`. Going back to automatic deletes the stored image, as does removing the
-project.
-
-Active exact roots are idempotent using lexical platform-equivalence semantics. Existing legacy
-remote-shaped and path-shaped IDs remain readable, including duplicate roots; reconciliation never
-merges them, transfers names, archives them, or moves workspace foreign keys. An explicit
-workspace `projectId` is authoritative when it names an active project, regardless of cwd
-containment. Archived-only exact-root records are not resurrected by explicit add/open; a fresh
-opaque project is allocated instead. Agent restore is separate and restores the agent's existing
-workspace together with its owning project.
+Active git projects are unique by normalized `rootPath`. Startup reconciliation repairs older bad
+states by moving workspaces from duplicate path-keyed projects onto the canonical project,
+preferring remote-keyed project IDs such as `remote:github.com/owner/repo`, then archiving the
+emptied duplicate.

-> **Opaque-ID invariant:** `workspaceId` is opaque identity, never a filesystem path. Filesystem and git operations take `cwd`/`workspaceDirectory` only — never the id. A compatibility-only first-materialization bootstrap still groups pre-registry agent records by path and Git remote so existing installs retain their legacy records. That grouping never runs against a live registry, and its keys are not runtime project or workspace identity.

-### Workspace label catalog
-
-**Path:** `$PASEO_HOME/projects/workspace-labels.json`
-
-The catalog is shared by every workspace on one host. A definition contains a display name and one
-of the ten identity colour names (`WORKSPACE_LABEL_COLORS` in
-`packages/protocol/src/workspace-labels.ts`); trimmed, collapsed, case-insensitive name identity is
-unique within that file. Definitions have no portable ID or principal owner and remain after their
-last assignment. Editing a label takes a new name, a new colour, or both in one commit, so the two
-fields cannot land half-applied. Workspaces store label names, so a rename and a delete rewrite
-workspace assignments through one serialized compound commit while a recolour is catalog-only; a
-rename onto a name the host already has is refused rather than merged. A prepared
-`workspace-labels.transaction.json` contains both before and after images. The daemon writes the
-catalog and workspace files, then atomically changes the transaction to committed; that phase
-change is the durable commit point. Recovery rolls prepared transactions back before either
-directory is served. A committed marker proves both data files were already written, so recovery
-only loads the current catalog and retries marker cleanup; it never reapplies stale workspace
-after-images over later registry mutations. A request rejected before the commit point therefore
-cannot take effect after restart. If the live daemon cannot determine or restore the durable state,
-the workspace registry freezes every write and later label mutations fail with
-`workspace_label_storage_uncertain` until daemon restart performs recovery. Reads remain available,
-but may reflect the last acknowledged cache until restart. Workspace directory and catalog updates
-publish only after the commit point; publication failure does not roll durable state back.

+Hierarchy is conveyed through weight and color, not size. Most labels, titles, and hints across the app are `fontSize.base` or `fontSize.xs`. The distinction between a row's primary line and its secondary line is `foreground` versus `foregroundMuted`.

 Weight has three tiers, applied by role:

- **Screen titles** — the title in app chrome — use `<ScreenTitle>` (`packages/app/src/components/headers/screen-title.tsx`), which renders `fontSize.base` at weight `400` on compact and `300` on desktop. The New workspace hero is the only larger product title; it uses `fontSize["2xl"]` (`packages/app/src/screens/new-workspace-screen.tsx`).
+- **Screen titles** — the title at the top of a screen — use `<ScreenTitle>` (`packages/app/src/components/headers/screen-title.tsx`), which renders `fontSize.base` at weight `400` on compact and `300` on desktop. Top-of-screen titles are lighter on desktop, not heavier. The workspace screen header follows the same rule (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`).
 - **Structural labels** use `fontWeight.medium`. This applies to section labels above a stack of rows (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:519-523`, `packages/app/src/components/keyboard-shortcuts-dialog.tsx:63-67`), form field labels above an input inside a modal (`packages/app/src/components/add-host-modal.tsx:19-23`, `packages/app/src/components/pair-link-modal.tsx:24-28`), the title at the top of a modal/sheet/dialog (`packages/app/src/components/adaptive-modal-sheet.tsx:90-94`, `packages/app/src/components/ui/combobox.tsx:1607-1611`, `packages/app/src/components/welcome-screen.tsx:48-53`), action button labels in tight components such as the sidebar callout actions (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-callout.tsx:218-221`), and inline data emphasis on dense metadata rows (`packages/app/src/components/git-diff-pane.tsx:2322-2327`, `packages/app/src/components/file-explorer-pane.tsx:1115-1122`).

-Sizes are a shared contract across control kinds, defined once in `control-geometry.ts`: `xs` = 28px tall with `fontSize.sm` labels, `sm` = 32px with `fontSize.base`, `md`/`lg` = 44px with `fontSize.base`. `<SegmentedControl>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/segmented-control.tsx`) takes the same `xs`/`sm`/`md` sizes — a segmented control next to a `<Button>` of the same size always matches in height, label size, and corner radius. Its segments run one padding step tighter than a button, because the gap between segments already reads as padding. The selected segment is a `surface3` fill with `foreground` text, not an inverted one — inverting it inside thin chrome puts a white slab in the toolbar. Thin chrome such as the file toolbar uses `xs`; settings rows use `sm`.

-Things align to their glyphs, not to their boxes. A row's leading icon, its title, and the label of the button in its trailing slot sit on the same rails — the ink lines up, not the padding, not the touch target, not the hover background.
-
-Pick the rails from the content, then hold them. A settings card establishes a leading rail at the icon's left edge and a trailing rail at the last glyph's right edge; every row in that card uses the same two. A row whose icon is absent still starts its title on the leading rail. Indentation is a new rail, not an arbitrary offset.
-
-The pressable is bigger than the glyph, and that is fine. Hit areas grow outward from the aligned content — they never move it. A button that looks two pixels off because its padding is asymmetric is misaligned even though its box is correct.

-Optical alignment beats arithmetic when a glyph disagrees with its bounding box. Icons with visual weight on one side, chevrons, and single-character labels usually need a small nudge to look centered. Trust the eye, then leave a comment saying the offset is optical.

-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.

-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.

+## 12. Status pills and badges

-There is exactly one token per status signal — `statusSuccess`, `statusDanger`, `statusWarning`, `statusMerged` — and every status surface uses it: PR state icons, CI check icons and pies, diff stats, file-change icons, status pills, usage bars. A surface does not get a quieter or louder variant because of where it sits. If a dense list feels loud, that is a density or weight problem; fix the density, not the color. The tokens are generated, not hand-picked — see the rule in `packages/app/src/styles/theme.ts` and regenerate rather than nudging one value. The level is set by the densest consumer, the sidebar workspace list.
+Status pills are `palette.<color>[300]` foreground on a 10%-alpha background of the same color. Success uses green, warning uses amber, danger uses red, muted uses zinc. The `<StatusBadge>` primitive (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx`) is canonical.

-Status **dots** are the one exception, and they are a family of their own — `statusDotSuccess`, `statusDotDanger`, `statusDotWarning`, `statusDotRunning`, read only by `getStatusDotColor` (`packages/app/src/utils/status-dot-color.ts`). Same hues and the same generation rule, but their own band: 90% of gamut chroma against the status family's 55–60%. A dot is a few points of solid color with no shape to read and no label attached, and the running one pulses, so at the status band's chroma the dots read dimmer than the metadata beside them — backwards, since the dot is the row's state. Lightness is set by hue separation rather than by distance from the surface: at 6pt four dark hues on a light surface all read as one dark blob no matter how much contrast they have. So the light band runs as bright as the contrast floor allows at L=0.62, the last step where all four clear 3:1 against the sidebar's `surface2`; the dark band sits at L=0.72, where danger turns pink above. All four move together; regenerate the set, never one hue.
+Status dots — the small filled circles next to a host or agent name — are `borderRadius.full` filled with the status color (`statusSuccess`, `statusWarning`, `statusDanger`, or `foregroundMuted`). They sit in the trailing slot of a sidebar row or as a leading marker on a status pill.

-Status pills use the status token for text on the shared `surface3` and `border` shell. The neutral shell keeps the signal legible without manufacturing translucent colors outside the theme. The `<StatusBadge>` primitive (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx`) is canonical; a pill never reaches into `palette`.

-Status dots — the small filled circles next to a host or agent name — are `borderRadius.full` filled with the status token. Which token a given agent state maps to is owned by `getStatusDotColor` (`packages/app/src/utils/status-dot-color.ts`); a row, a group header, and a project icon all call it rather than restating the mapping. They sit in the trailing slot of a sidebar row or as a leading marker on a status pill.
-
-Identity badges — the project icon, the sidebar host badge, and the PR-panel participant avatar — do not use the theme palette. They draw from the fixed ten-color identity table in `packages/app/src/styles/identity-colors.ts`, whose hexes are held to one contrast band so a color identifies rather than ranks. Project icons and PR avatars use it as a fill with a white letter — that is `identityColor`, one theme-independent hex per identity. Host badges use it as a _foreground_ on both the glyph and the label, which is a different contrast problem that the fill table cannot solve: no single hex clears 4.5:1 against both a near-white and a dark sidebar. Foregrounds therefore come from `identityForeground(name, colorScheme)`, one set per scheme, hue unchanged. That set is generated on the **status family's** lightness and chroma fraction, because a meta row puts a host badge beside a CI check and a diff stat, and two families at different lightness make the brighter one shout. Change the status band and this one changes with it. A host with no color assigned falls back to `foregroundMuted`. The table is theme-independent by design; do not fork it per theme, and do not add hexes to it without recomputing the band.
-
-New status pills use `<StatusBadge>`. Identity, shortcut, and interactive link badges remain separate because color does not encode status there.

-**Prerequisites (macOS only).** The service shells out to the Apple toolchain, so beyond the `npm ci` that worktree setup runs you must install:
-
- **Xcode** (the full app, not just the Command Line Tools) — install it from the Mac App Store, or from `developer.apple.com/download` for a specific version. It provides `xcodebuild` and `xcrun simctl`; accept its license and let first-run component installation finish before starting the service.
- **An iOS Simulator runtime with at least one iPhone device type**. Recent Xcode versions may not bundle a runtime — add one via Xcode → Settings → Components (older Xcode: "Platforms"). The service targets `iPhone 16 Pro` by default (override with `PASEO_IOS_DEVICE_TYPE`) and falls back to any iPhone; it fails with `No iPhone simulator device type is installed` when none exist.
- **Homebrew** — CocoaPods itself installs automatically: `expo prebuild` runs `pod install` on a cold worktree, and when the CocoaPods CLI is missing the runner installs it for you. It tries `gem install cocoapods` first and falls back to Homebrew (`brew install cocoapods`), so having Homebrew available lets that fallback succeed without a manual step.
-
-`serve-sim`, Expo, and Metro come from `npm ci`, and CocoaPods installs itself on the first prebuild as described above.
-
 The service is designed for concurrent worktrees: it derives a deterministic simulator identity from the worktree path, uses the worktree's assigned `PASEO_PORT`, pins `serve-sim` to that simulator UDID, and only tears down that worktree's helper/simulator state. It must not rely on the globally booted simulator or any fixed Metro port.

 Worktree setup best-effort seeds the generated iOS project and newest native build cache from the source checkout before the service runs. The service still validates the native project by running Expo prebuild and Xcode; the seed only avoids paying all setup/build cost from a cold worktree every time.

-Starting the service must not create, focus, reveal, or leave behind macOS Simulator.app windows — a guard hides Simulator.app every 250ms, so the native window vanishes if you focus it. The user-visible surface is the interactive `/.sim` preview: a `serve-sim` stream (60 FPS MJPEG + a WebSocket control channel) that Metro mounts at `basePath: "/.sim"` (`packages/app/metro.config.cjs`) and that forwards taps and gestures, so first-launch prompts like "Open in PaseoDebug?" are answered there, not in the native window. Open the `${PASEO_URL}/.sim` link the service prints — not `serve-sim`'s raw stream port (`:3100`), which is view-only. Because the stream sits behind the daemon proxy it is convenient for remote viewing but laggy up close; for fast local dev at the Mac, use the native simulator path below.
-
-**Troubleshooting.** If `xcrun simctl` fails with `unable to find utility "simctl"`, the active developer directory is still the Command Line Tools even though Xcode is installed. Point it at Xcode: `sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer`, then confirm with `xcrun --find simctl`.
-
-### Running the iOS app on a local simulator
-
-For fast, native, interactive iOS dev at the Mac — as opposed to the remote `/.sim` preview above — skip the service and build the dev client directly:
-
-```bash
-npm run ios        # → expo run:ios (packages/app): builds and launches the app in the real Simulator.app
-```
-
-`expo run:ios` starts its own Metro and gives you the normal Simulator.app window (full speed, native touch, no stream).
-
-**Pointing the app at a daemon.** The client resolves its local daemon from `EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON` (`packages/app/src/runtime/host-runtime.ts`); when unset it falls back to `localhost:6767`, the production `~/.paseo` daemon. To target a worktree's dev daemon instead, set it on the build command:
-
-```bash
-EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=localhost:${PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT} npm run ios   # worktree daemon running as a Paseo service
-EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=localhost:6768 npm run ios                          # standalone `npm run dev:server`
-```
-
-The iOS simulator shares the Mac's loopback, so `localhost:<port>` reaches the host daemon directly.
-
-**Gotcha — `EXPO_PUBLIC_*` is inlined into the JS bundle at Metro bundle time, not read at runtime.** Set it in the same shell that starts Metro. If the app still connects to the old daemon, Metro served a cached bundle; re-bundle clean with `cd packages/app && EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=… npx expo start -c` and reload the app.
+Starting the service must not create, focus, reveal, or leave behind macOS Simulator.app windows. The browser preview is the user-visible simulator surface.

 ### Desktop renderer profiling

-`npm run dev:desktop` starts Electron with Chromium remote debugging enabled so
-renderer CPU profiles can be captured through CDP. By default it passes
-`--remote-debugging-port=0`, so Chromium atomically asks the OS for an available
-port and prints the selected DevTools endpoint. Set
-`PASEO_ELECTRON_REMOTE_DEBUGGING_PORT` when a QA workflow requires a validated,
-fixed port.
-
-Desktop dev also scopes Electron `userData` to the current dev root. This prevents
-desktop-only environment inherited by terminals opened inside Paseo from coupling
-a new worktree instance to the parent desktop instance's profile or single-instance
-lock.
-
-The desktop workspace script `exec`s the dev runner so the terminal owns the runner
-PID. Terminal shutdown reaches the runner as `SIGHUP`; the runner stops Metro and
-asks Electron to quit through its normal app lifecycle. Do not add an npm wrapper or
-detach Electron: either change leaves an orphan holding the worktree's single-instance
-lock and broken output pipes.
-
-With desktop dev running, verify the real BrowserWindow, titlebar clearance, fullscreen
-transition, and 751-pixel settings split with:
-
-```bash
-npm run verify:electron-cdp --workspace=@getpaseo/desktop

-The verifier reads the same `EXPO_PORT` and

-The Explorer sidebar and the side pane share panel implementations, but they have different shell
-contracts.

-| Side pane        | Ordinary workspace content   | Created and closed like any workspace pane |
-
-## Panel host contract
-
-Every desktop panel registers its supported `PaneHost` values and presentation. Launchers derive
-fixed-target labels and icons from that registration, filter by host, and never substitute one
-panel type for another. Tab moves reject unsupported destinations, and placement resolves only to
-a compatible pane.
-
-Files and Changes are the Explorer defaults and its singleton navigation views. Other compatible
-tabs, including agents, terminals, files, and diffs, can move between Explorer and main panes.
-Keep panel implementations independent of either shell. `WorkspacePanelHost` owns mounting and
-retention, while each shell owns its tabs, focus, dragging, resizing, and shortcuts.
-
-## Explorer sidebar
-
-`packages/app/src/workspace-tabs/explorer-sidebar.ts` owns show, hide, toggle, and view selection.
-On desktop, the shell is rendered outside the workspace split canvas so it divides the full
-workspace, including the header. It has its own persisted width and resize handle. Main-pane splits
-never read or modify that width.
-
-`packages/app/src/workspace-tabs/open-supporting-view.ts` owns semantic Changes and pull-request
-opens. Compact and wide native layouts select the matching Explorer tab. Desktop Changes opens
-follow the shared diff preference. Desktop pull requests use their Main panel, On the side, or
-Explorer sidebar setting. Automatic PR discovery follows that preference once per workspace without
-interrupting the user's work. Closing the tab opts that workspace out of future automatic opens,
-even for a different PR; moving or reordering it remains the user's choice.
-Callers request the content and never choose the shell.
-The composer Changes pill is a two-stage desktop action: it first reveals Explorer on Changes, then
-routes later presses to the working diff through the shared diff preference.
-
-The persisted layout still contains the Explorer pane so tabs survive reloads. The renderer removes
-that pane from the workspace split tree and docks it separately. Persisted identifiers retain the
-literal `"explorer"` pane id and `explorerPaneIdByWorkspace` key for compatibility.
-
-The tab rail has no inline add or close controls. Its context menu opens a New Tab launcher and
-toggles Files, Changes, and Explorer-compatible workspace-scoped plugin panels from the shared
-launch catalog. Individual tab menus close instances or move compatible tabs to main. Explorer tabs
-can be reordered, but the dock cannot be split. Selecting an Explorer tab does not change workspace
-focus.
-
-Cmd+E shows or hides Explorer without changing its selected view. Compact layouts use the combined
-full-screen Explorer overlay for Changes, Files, and pull requests, and close it after a file opens. Compact Changes has no tree rail; its overview is the Jump to file action (`packages/app/src/git/jump-to-file/`), a sheet over the same changed-files tree the desktop rail renders.
-Wide native layouts without pane splits use the same combined content in a resizable inline dock;
-opening a file leaves that dock visible. Both presentations keep their selection in the panel store
-and reuse the layout store's per-workspace Explorer width. They do not create a second Explorer
-lifecycle.
-
-## Side pane
-
-`packages/app/src/workspace-tabs/open-beside.ts` owns content opened beside the user's work. The
-layout store remembers one ordinary pane per workspace. The first side open creates a full-height
-right split around the workspace root; later side opens reuse it.
-
-Removing a pane clears its remembered id; a later side open creates a new pane. The last visible
-ordinary pane stays when its final tab closes and shows the New launcher. An empty workspace does
-not automatically create an agent draft tab; choosing Agent opens one. Explorer cannot replace the
-workspace canvas, even when visible. Restoring a saved layout enforces the same rule while preserving Explorer and saved
-tab content. There is no hidden side-pane lifecycle.
-
-Placement intent still controls existing tabs:
-
-| Mode      | New target                  | Existing target                   |
-| --------- | --------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
-| `pane`    | opens in the requested pane | moves to the requested pane       |
-| `prefer`  | opens in the requested pane | stays where the user placed it    |
-| `focused` | opens in the focused pane   | focuses it where it already lives |
-| `ambient` | opens in a compatible pane  | focuses it where it already lives |
-
-Explicit **Open to Side** uses `pane`. Implicit opens use `prefer`, so a preference affects only a
-new target and never yanks an existing tab out of a user-selected pane.
-
-## Routing preferences
-
-Desktop **Settings → Layout → Open location** has independent Main panel or On the side choices for
-Explorer Files, diffs, chat files, files opened from diffs, and subagents. They default to Main
-panel. Mobile ignores them.
-
-Pull requests have a three-way open location: Main panel, On the side, or Explorer sidebar. Explorer
-sidebar is the default. Compact layouts always open pull requests in Explorer regardless of this
-desktop preference.

 ## How it works

-Two files:
-
- `packages/app/src/components/material-file-icons.ts` — the vendor table. `SVG_ICONS` maps icon
-  names to SVG strings copied verbatim from the theme, `EXTENSION_TO_ICON` maps extensions to icon
-  names, and `getRawFileIconSvg(fileName)` looks one up with a generic fallback. Keep it a faithful
-  copy so re-copying an icon stays a mechanical edit.
- `packages/app/src/components/file-icon-svg.ts` — `getFileIconSvg(fileName)`, the only thing
-  anyone should import. It desaturates the vendor colours and caches the result.
-
-Render with `<MaterialFileIcon fileName size />` rather than reaching for `SvgXml` yourself.
-
-## Why the colours are toned down
-
-material-icon-theme picks its palette for VS Code's file tree, where the icon is the only colour on
-the row. Ours share rows with status dots, diff stats, and check badges, and a column of them at
-full chroma is the loudest thing in the panel.
-
-Every hex in the SVG is pulled toward neutral at the same perceived lightness (`desaturateHexColor`
-in `packages/app/src/utils/color.ts`, OKLab — scaling HSL saturation instead would darken the
-yellows and barely touch the blues). Hue survives, which is the only part of an icon's colour that
-carries meaning at 16pt.
-
-`ICON_CHROMA` in `file-icon-svg.ts` is the single knob. Move it; do not add per-icon overrides, or
-we are back to hand-picking 53 colours.

-# File observation
-
-Use `packages/server/src/server/file-observer` for recursive filesystem observation. Create one observer service at the owning service boundary, subscribe roots through it, and close it during owner shutdown. Keep platform watchers, directory discovery, exclusion reconciliation, event batching, failure cleanup, diagnostics, and teardown inside the module. A consumer supplies a root and excluded subtrees; it must not branch on the platform or manage child watchers.
-
-Do not replace the Linux implementation with `fs.watch({ recursive: true })`. Node 22 implements Linux recursion in JavaScript by walking the tree and watching every file and directory. Paseo's directory-only Linux watcher already exhausted resources before ignored-tree pruning and a watcher cap were added in [#794](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/794).
-
-Closing an observation must remain safe after its root is renamed or removed. Workspace archive removes owned worktrees while releasing observation references, so teardown cannot assume the watched path still exists.
-
-`unsubscribe()` is an awaited barrier. Once it resolves, no scan, reconciliation, queued event, native handle, or callback may remain. `updateIgnore()` is the equivalent barrier for excluded paths: events queued below a newly excluded root cannot be delivered after it resolves. Treat path disappearance while scanning, attaching, or receiving a watcher error as rename/archive churn. Surface permission and resource errors so WorkspaceGit can enter bounded polling.
-
-Linux topology repair is trailing-debounced and scoped to the renamed path. A file rename needs one classification stat; a new or moved directory scans only its subtree. Full-tree scans are reserved for startup and ignore-set replacement. The initial Linux scan conservatively emits existing files discovered before their directory watcher was installed; WorkspaceGit batches these into one refresh. Benchmark this startup cost with pre-populated trees.
-
-Windows and macOS use one native recursive watcher plus an ignored-pruned, directory-indexed inventory. Native events deliver immediately. Named events trigger serialized shallow scans of their parent directories; known directory events also reconcile that subtree. This recovers concrete create and delete paths omitted by coalescing without walking the whole root for each edit. Classification is admission-controlled to 32 concurrent `fs.stat` calls, since `fs.stat` runs on the libuv threadpool the whole daemon shares. Startup and exclusion changes use an awaited full inventory barrier. Activity arms a full safety audit 30 seconds after it settles, with a 30-second minimum interval and a five-minute starvation bound; pathless native events also trigger an immediate shallow root scan. Observation fails into polling rather than retaining more than 250,000 file and directory entries per root. A repository that large is also expensive to poll, so degraded polling doubles its gap from 5 seconds to a 60-second ceiling while the workspace snapshot comes back unchanged, and resets to 5 seconds on the first change. Explicit reads still force a refresh; the ceiling only bounds how long an edit made outside Paseo stays undiscovered.
-
-Read aggregate health from the owning observer service. Runtime metrics include active observations, native handles, tracked native files, pending events and immediate reconciliation work, scoped and full reconciliation activity and latency, and failure counts. `nativeTrackedFileCount` and other per-file counters are native-backend diagnostics only — the Linux backend keeps no per-file inventory and reports zero — so a cross-platform assertion belongs on delivered events, not those counters. Delayed safety audits do not count as pending work. Closing the service releases every subscription and clears its diagnostics. Do not add path lists, watcher handles, or platform-specific controls to this interface.
-
-Git owns Git-ignore evaluation. The observer accepts absolute excluded roots and applies updates without replacing the observation or exposing its watcher topology. This keeps tracked files inside otherwise ignored directories observable and keeps Git policy out of the filesystem module.
-
-Workspace Git verifies each repository metadata subscription with a one-shot canary inside the Git directory. If the event does not round-trip through the subscription callback, treat the watcher as unavailable and enter degraded polling. Refresh working-tree Git-ignore exclusions from ignore-file events, newly observed directories, and watcher recovery, never from a healthy-watcher timer. `git ls-files` reports an ignored directory only once it exists, so new directory topology is a trigger in its own right; the refresh is edge-triggered per directory and debounced so a dependency install collapses into a couple of Git runs.
-
-The real-filesystem contracts and daemon auto-archive lifecycle run in the normal server test suite. Use the scripts only for manual performance and soak work: `npm run measure:file-observer --workspace=@getpaseo/server` measures burst and sustained-create behavior, and `npm run repro:file-observer-teardown --workspace=@getpaseo/server` runs the teardown soak.

-`ComposerDock` always keeps the surface at full height and wraps it in
-`KeyboardTranslateView`. The panel root clips it at the header edge, so rows

-dock to keyboard padding at rest. Changing its height creates either a blank
-band or a paused transition when the inverted list updates its viewport.
+When `shift` equals `openShift`, the translate is 0 and the popover sits at
+the measured position. When the keyboard moves afterward, the delta translates
+the popover by exactly the amount the composer translates. They move in
+lockstep, no re-measurement needed. Do not call
+`useReanimatedKeyboardAnimation()` directly for app UI offset policy; Android
+can briefly report a stale nonzero height with closed progress, and the shared
+provider is where that is normalized.

-Do not animate a layout prop through the keyboard transition. On Android
-Fabric, each animated layout update clones the shadow tree and runs Yoga over
-the dock subtree. This measured about 10 ms per frame on the emulator and the
-mounted layouts arrived in bursts every 2–4 frames. A transform does not dirty
-layout. Preserve the translated dock's history scroll range with a far-end
-content inset on the inverted stream list. Update that inset only when keyboard
-motion settles; never drive it per frame.
-
-The translated dock's height is not the composer's available height. Bound the
-composer against the stationary space below the header inside
-`composer/dock`, including its controls and attachments. Reserve the
-keyboard destination at move start on the UI thread. Waiting for a settled JS
-update lets a long draft disappear behind the header during opening. This is a
-boundary-time layout change, not an animated layout prop. Keep the input's
-native intrinsic sizing and internal scrolling. Keep the editing input's
-`defaultValue` current on every edit: Fabric re-measures the Android input from
-the JS text whenever its frame changed, so a stale prop inflates or collapses
-the input (see `packages/app/src/components/ui/text-input/text-input.native.tsx`).
-
-Closing the keyboard moves the composer; it does not enlarge its capacity. The
-viewport keeps the last keyboard reservation until the next opening replaces
-it, so a capped draft keeps one height through every keyboard transition
-instead of expanding on close and shrinking again on open.

-Keep setup fields out of the composer's shrink chain. New workspace supplies its
-setup fields as the first dock child so they move up under the header as the draft
-grows. Putting the fields and composer in one bounded, shrinkable column made
-Yoga split the shortage between them: rows vanished behind the composer while

-
-`KeyboardShiftProvider` owns the normalized shift used for settled insets and

-# Adding a Git Forge to Paseo
-
-Paseo's forge layer is a registry/manifest system. A forge is a runtime concern:
-shared protocol messages carry neutral/open facts, the server adapter owns
-behavior, and the app owns bundled presentation/runtime interpretation.
-
-The maintainer litmus test is the rule of thumb:
-
-> Adding a new forge means adding files in a new directory/module that implement
-> an interface, plus one entry in the centralized registry/manifest for that
-> package.
-
-## The Three Registrations
-
-For forge `acme`, the expected end state is:
-
-1. **Protocol manifest** - optional, only when the forge should be presented by
-   shared manifest data. Add one `ForgeDefinition` to
-   `packages/protocol/src/forge-manifest.ts`.
-
-2. **Server adapter** - add `packages/server/src/services/acme-service.ts`
-   implementing `ForgeService`, any adapter-owned fact types/guards/constants
-   beside it, and one `defaultForgeRegistry` entry in
-   `packages/server/src/services/forge-registry.ts`.
-
-3. **App modules** - a forge splits into a pure logic half and a view half so
-   logic consumers (URL builders, merge-capability, native checks, and the
-   Node-based e2e harness) never pull the client rendering stack:
-   - `packages/app/src/git/forges/acme.ts` - logic: `id`, optional `urlGrammar`
-     (source links and pasted issue/change-request reference paths), optional
-     `facts` (schema, merge-capability, native-check fallbacks). No
-     React/React-Native imports. Register in `CLIENT_FORGE_LOGIC_MODULES` in
-     `packages/app/src/git/forges/index.ts`.
-   - `packages/app/src/git/forges/acme.view.tsx` - view: `icon` (SVG component
-     under `packages/app/src/components/icons/`), optional `brandColor`, optional
-     `paneContributions`. Register in `CLIENT_FORGE_VIEW_MODULES` in
-     `packages/app/src/git/forges/view.ts`.
-
-There should be no protocol typed-union arm, no central app icon/color/url/facts
-map, and no central server union of known forge facts.
-
-## Protocol
-
-`forgeSpecific` on PR status is an open envelope:
-
-```ts
-z.object({ forge: z.string() }).passthrough();
-```
-
-The `forgeSpecific.forge` field is a **facts-family tag**, not the workspace
-brand id. Gitea, Forgejo, and Codeberg can all emit `forgeSpecific.forge ===
-"gitea"` when they share the same facts shape, while top-level `status.forge`
-keeps the brand id (`"gitea"`, `"forgejo"`, `"codeberg"`).
-
-Protocol does not validate per-forge fact fields. Consumers that understand a
-facts family validate at runtime with their own schema/guard. Unknown or
-schema-mismatched facts render neutrally instead of failing the whole message
-parse. This is the version-skew win: an old client can receive facts from a
-newer forge and still show the PR/MR in a neutral state.
-
-Check results keep a stable normalized `status` for aggregation and an optional
-open `traits: string[]` for composable forge-neutral refinements such as
-`manual`, `action_required`, and `warning`. Consumers ignore unknown traits and
-fall back to `status`; `rawStatus` preserves provider-native detail. Do not add
-provider vocabulary to the normalized status union. Producers and the
-presentation layer share the trait constants in
-`packages/protocol/src/check-traits.ts` — use those instead of string literals
-so classification and emission cannot drift apart.
-
-Shipped GitHub compatibility stays separate:
-
- The forge compatibility layer first shipped in `v0.2.0-beta.1`. Its initial
-  six-month cleanup target is `2027-01-17`, after supported client and daemon
-  floors reach stable `v0.2.0`.
- `status.github` remains accepted for released peers.
- The server keeps the `COMPAT(forgeSpecific)` mirror that copies GitHub facts
-  into `status.github` for older clients.
- Do not add a compatibility shim unless a released peer (<= 0.1.102) can
-  actually produce the state.
-
-## Server
-
-The server-wide status type only promises:
-
-```ts
-type ForgeSpecificStatusFacts = { forge: string } & Record<string, unknown>;
-```
-
-Adapter-owned files define the typed shapes and guards, for example
-`github-facts.ts`, `gitlab-facts.ts`, and `gitea-facts.ts`. The adapter can keep
-strong internal types for construction and command guards, but shared server
-code must not grow a central list of forge fact arms.
-
-Register the adapter in `defaultForgeRegistry` with:
-
- `createService`
- `matchesHost` from manifest `cloudHosts`
- `probeHost` when self-hosted/Enterprise detection is supported

-
- An open PR/MR belongs to the checkout when its head branch and head repository
-  match. Its remote head SHA may differ because the checkout can be ahead,
-  behind, or contain commits that have not been pushed yet.
- A merged or closed PR/MR belongs to the checkout only when its recorded head
-  SHA exactly matches the checkout's current `HEAD`. Branch names are reusable;
-  selecting the newest terminal request by branch alone can silently attach an
-  old promotion or feature request to new work.
-
-Thread the checkout head SHA through adapter cache and poll identities as well
-as the lookup itself. Otherwise a commit made on the same branch can inherit the
-previous commit's cached terminal status until the cache expires.
-
-Cloud hosts in the manifest are a bounded public-host list, not a self-host
-allowlist. Self-hosted detection is a trust gate: Paseo only talks to a forge
-host that is either a known cloud host or one the CLI is already authenticated
-to. Adapter probes must not make anonymous HTTP requests to remote-derived
-hosts, and adapters must not route credentials to an unauthenticated host.
-
-## App
-
-Each app forge splits into two modules so pure logic never imports the client
-rendering stack:
-
-`acme.ts` exports a `ClientForgeLogicModule`:
-
- `id`
- optional `urlGrammar` (including `referencePaths` for composer auto-attachment)
- optional `facts` registration (schema, merge-capability, native-check fallbacks)
-
-`acme.view.tsx` exports a `ClientForgeViewModule`:
-
- `id`
- `icon`
- `brandColor` (`null` for neutral; GitHub intentionally uses `null`)
- optional `paneContributions`
-
-Two registries live under `packages/app/src/git/forges/`:
-`CLIENT_FORGE_LOGIC_MODULES` (`index.ts`) drives URL grammar, merge-capability
-derivation, and native fallback checks; `CLIENT_FORGE_VIEW_MODULES` (`view.ts`)
-drives icon/color lookup and PR-pane contributions. Logic consumers must import
-the logic registry only — importing the view registry (or a `.view.tsx` module)
-from a logic path pulls react-native and breaks the Node-based e2e harness.
-
-Per-forge brand colors live on the module, not in `styles/theme.ts`. Use the
-Unistyles-safe pattern from `docs/unistyles.md`: no `useUnistyles()`. Brand icon
-call sites use `withUnistyles` and a `uniProps` mapping such as:
-
-```ts
-(theme) => ({ color: theme.colorScheme === "light" ? colors.light : colors.dark });
-```
-
-Facts modules use one source of truth: a Zod schema. Helpers like
-`defineForgeFacts`, `defineNativeFallbackCheck`, and `definePaneContribution`
-derive guards from `schema.safeParse` and re-parse before invoking typed
-derivers/renderers. That keeps typed derivers away from the open wire envelope.
-
-## Checklist
-
-To add `acme`:
-
-1. Add `acme` to `FORGE_DEFINITIONS` if the shared manifest should know its
-   label, nouns, icon kind, sign-in CLI, or cloud hosts.
-2. Add `acme-service.ts` implementing `ForgeService`.
-3. Add `acme-facts.ts` beside the adapter if it reports native facts.
-4. Add one `defaultForgeRegistry` entry.
-5. Add `packages/app/src/git/forges/acme.ts` (logic) and
-   `packages/app/src/git/forges/acme.view.tsx` (view).
-6. Add one `CLIENT_FORGE_LOGIC_MODULES` entry (`index.ts`) and one
-   `CLIENT_FORGE_VIEW_MODULES` entry (`view.ts`).
-7. Add/update the icon component only if the client bundle should show a brand
-   mark.
-8. If the forge's CI/data model does not fit an existing required
-   `ForgeService` field, widen the shared interface (plus the protocol schema
-   and its guards) instead of faking a value — e.g. Gitea Actions runs carry no
-   check-run id, so `GetCheckDetailsOptions.checkRunId` became optional with
-   `workflowRunId` as the alternative address. Expect this step to touch
-   `forge-service.ts`, `messages.ts`, and the call-site guards of the other
-   adapters. Widening a shared field is not forge-local: it also affects the
-   already-shipped forges/GitHub call sites and the capability-gated RPC (e.g.
-   `forgeCheckDetails`), so verify every consumer rather than assuming the change
-   only reaches the new adapter.
-9. Run targeted tests: manifest/registry/resolver, the adapter test, protocol
-   checkout PR schema, app forge URL/presentation tests, app merge capability,
-   and any PR-pane native data tests touched.
-
-Run `npm run typecheck` after each implementation slice. If protocol or client
-declarations are stale, run `npm run build:client`; if server/CLI declarations
-are stale, run `npm run build:server`.
-
-## Gotchas
-
- GitHub is a normal registry entry plus released compatibility shims. Keep all
-  real shims tagged with `COMPAT(name)`.
- Gitea-family facts use `forgeSpecific.forge === "gitea"` even when the
-  top-level brand is Forgejo or Codeberg.
- Gitea's legacy Actions task endpoint cannot filter by commit, may enforce a
-  page size below the requested limit, and omits rerun-attempt numbers. Walk a
-  bounded number of pages using `total_count` and filter locally. Preserve
-  ambiguous same-run tasks: display names are not stable job identities, so
-  name-based deduplication can hide a real failure.
- A blocked Gitea Actions task is not necessarily manual: only add the
-  `action_required` trait when the matching run metadata reports
-  `need_approval`.
- Brand icons are bundled React components, so they cannot come from protocol
-  manifest data.
- Source URL grammars are app-side because blob/tree path syntax is
-  forge-specific. If a forge has no grammar, omit the "Open on ..." source link
-  rather than constructing a wrong URL.
- Pasted issue/change-request URL recognition is also app-side and registry
-  driven. Put the forge's route infixes in `urlGrammar.referencePaths`; the
-  neutral extractor matches the pasted host and full repository path against
-  the current remote before it invokes cwd-routed forge search. Do not add a
-  central forge switch or guess a self-hosted Gitea-family brand from URL shape.
- GitLab pipeline status constants belong to the GitLab adapter/client module,
-  not protocol.
- GitLab `manual` jobs need `allow_failure` to distinguish optional gray jobs
-  (`manual`) from blocking jobs (`manual` plus `action_required`). A failed
-  allowed-failure job carries the `warning` trait, and `canceling` remains active
-  until GitLab reports a terminal status.
- GitHub PR polling owns one account-wide GraphQL budget. Coordinate retained
-  targets per host, batch their reads, and stop until GitHub's reset time when
-  the reserve is exhausted. Never add a per-target GitHub request to the poll
-  path. Resolve fork PRs through their parent repository without abandoning the
-  shared batch.

 Authoritative terminology. UI label wins. Don't invent synonyms; use what's here.

- **Project** — A stable, exact selected-root record. Its host-local `projectId` is an opaque `prj_<16 hex>` value. Its persisted `projectKey` is an opaque equivalence key that may group the logical project across hosts. A normalized Git remote is the current key producer, but consumers must not parse or rederive it. Git facts can update mutable kind and grouping metadata but never the ID, root, or default display name. UI: "Project" / "Add project". Forbidden: "Repo", "Repository" as UI label.
+- **Project** — Logical grouping of workspaces sharing a git remote (or main repo root). UI: "Project" / "Add project". Code: `ProjectSummary` (`packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:22`), `projectKey` (`packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:16`). Forbidden: "Repo", "Repository" as UI label.
 - **Workspace** — One concrete `cwd` on one daemon, with git state; belongs to exactly one project. Its `id` is opaque workspace identity; its `cwd` is the filesystem directory. UI: "Workspace". Code: `WorkspaceDescriptorPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2178`). Don't confuse with: Branch (one branch can back many workspaces via worktrees). Forbidden: "Folder", "Directory" as UI label.
- **Archive workspace** — Removes one workspace from active use and archives everything it owns. UI, CLI, and MCP always say "Archive workspace", regardless of backing. The daemon leaves ordinary directories intact and removes a Paseo-owned worktree only when no active workspace still references it.
- **Workspace kind** — `"directory" | "local_checkout" | "worktree"`. The git-derived, persisted property of a workspace, used across its lifetime (archive safety, sidebar, grouping). Derived from the cwd's git reality by `deriveWorkspaceKind` in `workspace-registry-model.ts`, not stored from a user choice. Don't confuse with **Isolation** (the create-time intent).
+- **Workspace kind** — `"directory" | "local_checkout" | "worktree"`. The git-derived, persisted property of a workspace, used across its lifetime (archive safety, sidebar, grouping). Derived from the cwd's git reality (`deriveWorkspaceKind`, `packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:158`), not stored from a user choice. Code: `PersistedWorkspaceKind` (`packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:8`). Don't confuse with **Isolation** (the create-time intent).
 - **Isolation** — Create-time choice for a new workspace: reuse the existing checkout (**Local**) or cut a dedicated git worktree (**New worktree**). A transient setup input, also remembered as a create-form preference; it is not a workspace property. UI: "Isolation" control on the New Workspace screen. Code: `isolation` (`"local" | "worktree"`), `useWorkspaceIsolation` (`packages/app/src/screens/new-workspace-screen.tsx`); persisted as `FormPreferences.isolation` (`packages/app/src/create-agent-preferences/preferences.ts`). Distinct from **Workspace kind**, which is the git-derived property the intent produces (Local → `local_checkout` or `directory` by git-ness; New worktree → `worktree`). On the wire it is the create request's `source.kind` (`directory | worktree`, `packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:1693`).
 - **Agent** — See **Agent session**. UI still says "Agent" / "New Agent" in places, but moving toward **Agent session** as the canonical term. Code: `AgentSnapshotPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:608`). Forbidden: "Task", "Job", "Run".
 - **Daemon** — Local Paseo server process; identified by `serverId`. UI: "Daemon" (system contexts only). Code: `serverId` in `ServerInfoStatusPayloadSchema` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:1936`), `DaemonClient` (`packages/client/src/daemon-client.ts`).
 - **Host** — Client-side connection profile pointing at a daemon; bundles one or more `HostConnection`s. UI: "Host" / "Add host" / "Switch host". Code: `HostProfile` (`packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37`). Forbidden: "Connection" (means `HostConnection`, not host).
- **Host badge** — The item on a sidebar workspace row's meta row naming which host that workspace lives on. Three things gate it, and they compose as a lattice rather than competing: the sidebar must span more than one host (automatic), **Show → Host** in the sidebar's display preferences must be on (global, all hosts at once), and then that host's own display mode decides _how_ it draws — **Name** / **Icon only** / **Hidden**. Name, color, and display mode are per-host, per-device, and live client-side on `HostProfile.appearance`; nothing about it reaches the daemon. Never add a fourth way to hide it. UI: the "Appearance" group on a host's settings page, and the "Show" submenu in the sidebar's display preferences. Code: `selectHostBadges` (`packages/app/src/hosts/appearance.ts`) takes the first two as its `enabled` input; `WorkspaceMetaRow` (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar/workspace-meta-row/index.tsx`) draws it. Don't confuse with **Status pill**, which reports state rather than identity.
 - **Project host entry** — One row in a project for a single (project, daemon) pair, aggregating that daemon's workspaces in the project. Internal. Code: `ProjectHostEntry` (`packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:11`). Don't introduce "Checkout" as a synonym.
- **Placement** — One workspace's stable foreign-key relationship to its project plus its git checkout snapshot. Internal. An explicit creation `projectId` is authoritative when active.
+- **Placement** — One workspace's relationship to its project (projectKey, projectName, git checkout snapshot). Internal. Code: `ProjectPlacementPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2113`).
 - **Branch** — Plain git branch. UI: "Switch branch". Code: `currentBranch` in `WorkspaceGitRuntimePayloadSchema` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2136`); `BranchSwitcher` (`packages/app/src/components/branch-switcher.tsx`).
- **Forge** — Git hosting service behind Paseo's change-request features: GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo, or a future registered adapter. Code: `ForgeService`, `forge-registry`, `forge-resolver`. Use `forge` for internal abstraction and registry IDs; use concrete forge names only when a behavior or RPC is forge-specific.
- **Change request** — Forge-neutral term for a proposed branch-to-branch code change. UI normally renders the forge noun instead: GitHub/Gitea/Forgejo "PR", GitLab "MR". Code: `forge_change_request` attachments, `checkoutSource: { kind: "change_request" }`, and PR/MR status payloads.
- **MR** — GitLab merge request. UI label for GitLab change requests only; do not use MR for GitHub/Gitea/Forgejo.
- **Worktree** — Paseo-managed git worktree (`~/.paseo/worktrees/{name}`); also a `workspaceKind` value. User-facing creation treats it as the `worktree` workspace isolation choice. Code and `paseo.json` retain worktree terminology for git lifecycle implementation. Forbidden: "Checkout" as a product synonym.
- **Repository / Remote** — Internal Git observations. They may produce mutable kind, branch, and project-grouping metadata but never the host-local project ID, root, display name, or workspace membership. No UI label.
- **Sidebar items** — The top-level rows at the head of the app sidebar: New workspace, History, Search, Schedules, and every plugin sidebar contribution. Order and visibility are one per-device preference (`AppSettings.sidebarNavItems`); all of them may be off. UI: the Sidebar settings page. Code: `packages/app/src/sidebar-nav/model.ts` resolves the list, and both the sidebar (`components/sidebar/sidebar-nav-rows.tsx`) and the settings section (`screens/settings/sidebar/sidebar-nav-section.tsx`) read it through `useSidebarNavItems`. Never hardcode one of these rows or add a second place that decides which ones show. Don't confuse with **Explorer sidebar**.
- **Explorer sidebar** — The dedicated navigation dock containing the Files and Changes trees. UI: "Explorer sidebar". Code: `packages/app/src/workspace-tabs/explorer-sidebar.ts`; persisted pane identifiers retain the `explorer` spelling. See [explorer-sidebar.md](explorer-sidebar.md).
- **Side pane** — An ordinary right-side workspace pane used for content opened beside the user's work. It closes and participates in workspace splits like every other main-host pane. See [explorer-sidebar.md](explorer-sidebar.md#side-pane). Forbidden: "Side panel".
- **Directory-backed surface** — A right-sidebar surface whose content is determined by the workspace's `cwd`, so two workspaces on the same directory see identical content: git diff/status, forge change-request info, file preview/explorer contents. Keyed by `(serverId, cwd)`, never `workspaceId`. See [architecture.md](architecture.md#right-sidebar-boundary-directory-backed-vs-workspace-owned).
+- **Worktree** — Paseo-managed git worktree (`~/.paseo/worktrees/{name}`); also a `workspaceKind` value. UI: CLI + `paseo.json` keys (`worktree.setup`, `worktree.teardown`) only. Code: `ProjectCheckoutLiteGitPaseoPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2092`); CLI `paseo worktree` (`packages/cli/src/commands/worktree/index.ts:8`). Forbidden: "Checkout" as a synonym.
+- **Repository / Remote** — Internal git inputs (`remoteUrl`, `mainRepoRoot`) used to derive `projectKey`. No UI label.
+- **Directory-backed surface** — A right-sidebar surface whose content is determined by the workspace's `cwd`, so two workspaces on the same directory see identical content: git diff/status, GitHub PR info, file preview/explorer contents. Keyed by `(serverId, cwd)`, never `workspaceId`. See [architecture.md](architecture.md#right-sidebar-boundary-directory-backed-vs-workspace-owned).
 - **Workspace-owned state** — Per-workspace state that never leaks to a same-`cwd` sibling: tabs, agents, terminals, panes, title, plus review drafts, diff-mode overrides, composer attachments, and file-explorer open/expand state. Keyed by `workspaceId` (`cwd` only as a fallback for old payloads). See [architecture.md](architecture.md#right-sidebar-boundary-directory-backed-vs-workspace-owned).
 - **Workspace status bucket** — Aggregate activity signal for a workspace row. Same-`cwd` workspaces intentionally share agent and terminal status buckets, while tab, agent, and terminal visibility remains scoped by `workspaceId`.
 - **Agent session** — One running instance of an agent inside a workspace (one provider, one model, one cwd, one timeline). The conceptual unit; in the UI this opens as a tab. Moving toward this as the canonical term over "Agent". Code: `AgentSnapshotPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:608`).
 - **Session** — Two senses: (a) per-client connection to a daemon, internal; (b) user-facing agent session, see **Agent session**. Code: `Session` (`packages/server/src/server/session.ts`) for (a). Don't confuse with: provider-side agent session log.
- **Profile** — Internal name for the persisted shape of a host. Code: `HostProfile` (`packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37`). Never user-facing. Three other things are called "profile" in this codebase, so always qualify: **Agent profile**, **Terminal profile**, and the provider aliases in [custom-providers.md](custom-providers.md). Bare "profile" is forbidden in UI copy.
- **Agent profile** — A named launch bundle: provider, model, mode, thinking option, feature values, and free-text notes. Applying one writes those values into the **Agent controls** and is then forgotten — there is no selected profile, no default profile, and no drift tracking. The notes are written for orchestrating agents and are what the `list_profiles` MCP tool surfaces. Stored host-wide in daemon config as `agentProfiles`. UI: "Agent profiles". Code: `AgentProfile` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:161`). Carries no system prompt, because a per-agent system prompt can only be set at creation. Forbidden: "Favourite", which this replaced.
- **Terminal profile** — A named shell command a terminal can launch. Stored host-wide in daemon config as `terminalProfiles`. UI: "Terminal profiles". Code: `TerminalProfile` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:135`), `resolveTerminalProfiles` (`packages/protocol/src/terminal-profiles.ts`). Also selectable as a New Workspace launch target, where the alternative is the chat agent.
- **Provider** — Agent backend (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi, Oh My Pi). UI: "Provider". Code: `ProviderSnapshotEntry` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:198`).
- **Usage source** — Plugin registration that discovers accounts and fetches plan usage. Code: `UsageSourceRegistration` (`packages/plugin/src/server/usage.ts`).
- **Report ID** — Stable daemon-composed identity for one source account: `<sourceId>:<accountKey>`. The source owns the account key; clients treat the whole ID as opaque. Code: `UsageReportEntry.id` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts`).
- **Usage report** — A source's normalized usage for one account, including status and optional windows, balances, and details. Its entry carries the Report ID, account label, and fetch time. Code: `UsageReport` (`packages/plugin/src/server/usage.ts`).
+- **Profile** — Internal name for the persisted shape of a host. Code: `HostProfile` (`packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37`). Never user-facing.
+- **Provider** — Agent backend (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi, OMP). UI: "Provider". Code: `ProviderSnapshotEntry` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:198`).
 - **Model** — A specific LLM offered by a provider. UI: "Model" / "Select model". Code: `AgentModelDefinition` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:187`).
 - **Tab** — UI surface representing one session inside a workspace. Not a conceptual unit; use **Agent session** when talking about the model. Code: `WorkspaceTabDescriptor` (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-tabs-types.ts`).
 - **Terminal** — Workspace-scoped PTY shell streamed over the binary mux channel. UI: "Terminal". Code: `TerminalStreamFrame` (`packages/protocol/src/terminal-stream-protocol.ts`).
- **Workspace script** — A named command a workspace can run, declared in `paseo.json`. Two types: `service` and `script` (a command that runs and finishes). UI: "Scripts" for the panel and the menu, both of which list either type. Code: `WorkspaceScriptPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:3126`). Don't confuse with **Service**, which is one of the two types rather than a synonym for the pair.
- **Service** — A workspace script of type `service`: long-running, may bind a port, and carries `health` of `healthy | unhealthy | null` once the daemon has observed it. The only type a sidebar workspace row reports, because a running plain script says nothing about whether the workspace is up; the row names the service and turns danger when its health fails, and where several run the failing one takes the row's single slot. UI: "Services" in the sidebar's display preferences (**Show → Services**). Code: `selectWorkspaceServiceSummary` (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar/workspace-meta-row/service-summary.ts`), `WorkspaceScriptHealthSchema` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:3124`). Forbidden: "Service" as a label for the Scripts panel, which lists both types.
- **Schedule** — Cron-style trigger that creates new agents. UI: CLI/MCP (`paseo schedule`, `create_schedule`). Don't confuse with: Heartbeat (cron prompt back into the same agent).
- **Heartbeat** — Ephemeral cron prompt sent back into the same agent/conversation. Agent surfaces expose create, update cron, and delete only. Use for reminders and babysitting where status should return inline.
+- **Schedule** — Cron-style trigger that creates new agents. UI: CLI/MCP (`paseo schedule`, `create_schedule`). Don't confuse with: Heartbeat (cron prompt back into the same agent) or Loop (iterative re-execution of one agent).
+- **Heartbeat** — Cron-style prompt sent back into the same agent/conversation. MCP: `create_heartbeat`. Use for reminders and babysitting where the status should return inline.
 - **Mode** — Provider-specific operational mode (plan, default, full-access, …). UI: icon-only. Code: `modeId` in `AgentSessionConfig` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:257`).
- **Attachment** — External or local context bound to an agent prompt: forge issue/change request, review context, uploaded file, text, or image. UI: "Attach issue or PR/MR". Code: `AgentAttachment` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:782`).
+- **Attachment** — GitHub PR or Issue bound to an agent prompt. UI: "Attach issue or PR". Code: `AgentAttachment` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:782`).
 - **Composer** — The whole prompt surface for sending work to an agent. Code: `Composer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`). Don't call this "message input" except for the text-entry subcomponent.
 - **Composer input** — The text-entry surface inside the composer. Code: `MessageInput` (`packages/app/src/composer/input/input.tsx`).
 - **Composer toolbar** — The bottom control row inside the composer input. Contains agent controls, attachment button, voice controls, and stop/send controls. Code: `leftContent`, `beforeVoiceContent`, and `rightContent` slots in `MessageInput` (`packages/app/src/composer/input/input.tsx`). Forbidden: "Status bar".
 - **Agent controls** — Provider, model, mode, thinking, and provider-feature controls for an agent or draft agent. Code: `AgentControls` / `DraftAgentControls` (`packages/app/src/composer/agent-controls/index.tsx`). Forbidden: "Agent status bar".
 - **Composer footer** — Optional area rendered below the composer input but still inside the keyboard-shifted composer layout. Code: `Composer.footer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`).
- **Composer track** — A contextual lane at the foot of a pane, by the composer input. Specific tracks use the `<thing> track` form: **Queue track**, **Subagents track**, **Tasks track**. The subagents and tasks tracks are pills floating over the transcript, each opening a panel with its rows; the queue track is a lane inside the composer itself. Code: queue track inside `Composer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`), pill and panel frame in `packages/app/src/composer/tracks.tsx`, `SubagentsTrack` (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`), `AgentTaskList` (`packages/app/src/composer/task-list/index.tsx`).
- **Steer** — A follow-up admitted into an agent's already-running turn instead of interrupting it. Interrupting the turn discards steers the provider has not read yet; there is no take-back short of that, and no provider offers one. The stop button and Escape both interrupt. A steer the provider never read keeps its transcript row, matching Codex. Sending while the agent waits on a permission denies that request first, so the message reaches the same turn instead of stalling behind it. UI: "Send and steer". Code: `steerActiveTurn` (`packages/server/src/server/agent/agent-sdk-types.ts`). Don't confuse with **Queue track**, which holds messages client-side until the turn ends and never enters the running turn. Forbidden: "Delivery", "Queued prompt".
- **Subagent** — User-facing term for an agent session related to a parent agent session. Use **subagents** in UI copy and docs. Internal daemon/provider plumbing may say "child agent" or `child_session`, especially for provider-managed imports; do not surface "child agent" as a product term.
+- **Composer track** — A contextual lane above the composer input. Specific tracks use the `<thing> track` form: **Queue track**, **Subagents track**. Code: queue track inside `Composer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`), `SubagentsTrack` (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`).
 - **Attachment tray** — The selected-attachments row inside the composer input, above the text input. Code: `renderAttachmentTray` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`). Forbidden: "Attachment bar".
- **Fork** — Starting a NEW agent session seeded with a copy of another session's curated chat history. The history rides along as a `chat_history` composer attachment on a draft; the fork does **not** resume or branch the provider-side session, and the source session keeps running untouched. Two targets, one surface, one RPC (`agent.fork_context`, gated on the `agentForkContext` host feature). UI: the fork menu lives in the assistant turn footer and offers "Fork in a new tab" / "Fork in a new workspace". On a **completed** turn it sits beside the copy button and pins a boundary to that turn, so the fork stops where the turn ended. On the **in-flight** turn it sits beside the progress loader and elapsed timer, and omits the boundary entirely — `selectForkContextRows` projects the whole timeline when no boundary is given, so the fork captures everything **up to now**, including the response still streaming. That omission is what makes mid-run forking work; pinning a boundary there would silently drop the live response. Forbidden on provider-subagent (read-only) panes. Code: `useForkAgent` (`packages/app/src/hooks/use-fork-agent.ts`), `selectForkContextRows` (`packages/server/src/server/agent/activity-curator.ts`). Don't confuse with: git fork (unrelated; Paseo has no such concept), **Worktree** (filesystem isolation, not history copying).
 - **Conflict** — Two distinct senses; do NOT use the bare word in UI copy without qualifying which: (a) **stale-write conflict** on `paseo.json` ("Config changed on disk", code `stale_project_config`, `packages/app/src/screens/project-settings-screen.tsx:593`); (b) **git merge conflict** (no current UI string).
- **Product discussion** — Where non-bug product talk goes: [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/discussions) and `#product` in Discord. Covers workflows, features, and product direction. The container term; the ask inside it is always a **workflow** — what you're doing, how you do it today, where Paseo gets in the way. Issues are bugs only. Forbidden: "Feature request" as a Paseo surface, label, or invitation; the phrase is only used when answering someone who arrived with it. Don't invent "feature discussion", "idea", or "workflow thread" as synonyms. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md).

-# Paseo Hub relationship
-
-Paseo Hub is an explicit opt-in connection from one Paseo daemon to one Hub. Running a daemon does
-not register it with a Hub. The relationship begins only when a user runs
-`paseo hub connect [url]` from the daemon machine with an explicit API key or matching stored CLI login.
-
-The human CLI login and daemon relationship are separate identities. `paseo hub login [url]` stores a durable organization-scoped CLI credential keyed by normalized Hub origin under `PASEO_HOME`. Interactive login optionally connects the local daemon, then points to the Hub UI for trigger configuration; it does not scaffold or deploy configuration. `paseo hub init` remains the explicit triggers-as-code scaffold: it writes one self-contained organization trigger under `.paseo/triggers/`, validates it through the trigger API, and optionally installs it. `paseo hub deploy` validates and installs every trigger in that directory; passing `--project` keeps deploying the legacy project bundle instead. `paseo hub export [directory]` writes the active organization's current triggers in the same layout, using the active login unless another Hub or API key is selected. Origin resolution uses explicit command input, `PASEO_HUB_URL`, active login, then `https://hub.paseo.sh`. Connect uses exact-origin authority to request a one-time enrollment token, then passes only that token to the daemon. The daemon generates and persists its own relationship credential.
-
-## Connection and authority
-
-The daemon enrolls over HTTP(S), then opens and maintains a direct outbound WebSocket to the Hub.
-The Hub never discovers or acquires the daemon through Paseo's relay. The relay remains an optional
-encrypted path for normal Paseo clients and has no role in Hub enrollment, authentication, dispatch,
-or reconnects.
-
-The daemon persists a relationship ID and private connection credential before enrollment. The
-relationship is independent of its current transport, so a future transport can replace the direct
-WebSocket without pairing again. The current foundation supports one Hub relationship per daemon.
-
-Normal authenticated daemon sessions may manage the daemon's Hub relationship and permissions.
-Hub connections have no daemon permissions by default. Connecting gives Hub machine identity and
-presence but no execution authority. The `hub.execute` permission lets workflows triggered from
-GitHub, Slack, Discord, Linear, and other integrations create workspaces and run agents. Grant it
-during interactive login or later with `paseo hub permissions grant hub.execute`. Relationships
-created before this split migrate their legacy execution scope to `hub.execute`. Hub sessions cannot
-manage their own relationship or permissions.
-
-## Session grants and agent operations
-
-Hub uses the same authenticated, resumable Session protocol as other clients. Its persisted
-`hub.execute` permission authorizes ordinary agent creation, workspace titling, messaging,
-cancellation, archival, agent/workspace observation, timeline subscriptions, and workspace recovery. This authority is
-daemon-wide; it is not limited to agents created by that Hub. Daemon configuration, terminals,
-browser control, and permission management still require their own permissions. See
-[permissions.md](permissions.md).
-
-Creating an agent may create a directory workspace. The same `hub.execute` session can title that
-workspace through `workspace.title.set.request` without `workspace.manage`.
-
-Clients using this contract check `server_info.features.hubAgentRpc` and
-`server_info.features.agentRequestReceipts` once. An older host must be upgraded; do not silently
-fall back to creating a fresh agent when continuation was requested.
-
-Hub owns conversation keys, trigger policy, execution records, and the mapping to workspace/agent
-IDs. None of these routing concepts are part of the generic daemon RPCs. Creation accepts ordinary
-provider configuration, exact MCP tool policy, environment, and workspace/worktree selection.
-Private session configuration is persisted for recovery and is not exposed in agent snapshots.
-Provider controls remain provider-native; see [providers.md](providers.md).
-
-`create_agent_request.idempotencyKey` identifies one creation operation. With a key, omit
-`initialPrompt`, persist the returned agent/workspace identity, then deliver the prompt using
-`send_agent_message_request` with a stable `messageId`. Request IDs correlate individual attempts;
-creation keys and message IDs identify the operation across attempts. A creation key is daemon-wide;
-a message ID is scoped to its agent. Reusing either with different arguments is a conflict.
-`workspace.create.request.idempotencyKey` provides the same creation guarantee for directory and
-worktree workspaces; check `server_info.features.workspaceRequestReceipts` before using it.
-Workspace creation keys and agent creation keys have separate namespaces. The app keeps these keys
-for the lifetime of a draft and reuses the first message ID after failures.
-
-The daemon journals the assigned agent ID before creation. Concurrent retries share one operation,
-and a retry after a lost acknowledgement or restart returns the durable agent without creating a
-workspace or starting a turn. Deleting that agent does not make its old creation key reusable.
-Confirmed message delivery is also journaled, so retrying its message ID does not submit it again.
-An unfinished delivery after restart reports `agent_request_outcome_unknown`: a provider can have
-accepted a prompt before the daemon recorded success, so automatic resubmission could duplicate
-work. Inspect the agent before choosing a new message ID. Receipts contain identity and request
-hashes, never prompts, environment values, or credentials.
-
-Before messaging an archived workspace, call `workspace.recovery.inspect.request`, then
-`workspace.recovery.restore.request` and await success. The native message handler unarchives the
-agent and loads its persisted provider session. `activeTurnBehavior: "steer"` uses the provider's
-native steering behavior, including Paseo's existing behavior when that provider cannot steer.
-Execution completion and arrival-specific output authority remain Hub responsibilities.
-
-The older `hub.execution.*` RPCs remain accepted for existing clients. Their execution ownership
-and create deduplication behavior are unchanged; new continuation work uses the ordinary RPCs.
-
-## Disconnect and revocation
-
-Normal socket loss reconnects the active relationship with bounded exponential backoff and jitter.
-Daemon restart loads the same relationship and credential and reconnects without another enrollment
-ceremony.
-
-Hub authentication rejection or close code `4403` permanently revokes the local relationship. The
-daemon deletes its credential, stops reconnecting, and retains only the relationship ID, Hub origin,
-scopes, and a sanitized reason for status reporting.
-
-`paseo hub disconnect` disables socket reconnect and execution authority before making one bounded
-remote revocation request. The daemon then removes the local relationship whether the request
-succeeds or fails. A failed request returns a warning that server-side revocation may remain pending.
-`--force` skips the remote request. Legacy persisted `disconnecting` records are removed on startup;
-the daemon does not retry revocation in the background.
-
-`paseo hub logout` removes only the active human CLI credential and preserves credentials for other origins. Interactive logout inspects and optionally disconnects a same-origin daemon before deleting the login; a failed requested disconnect preserves the login. JSON and noninteractive logout never prompt or disconnect implicitly.
-
-## Cross-repository compatibility
-
-The consumer implementation lives in Paseo Cloud. Cloud owns its copy of the Hub wire schemas and
-has no Paseo runtime or build dependency. Cross-repository end-to-end verification separately builds
-a Paseo source checkout and exercises the real daemon, CLI, direct WebSocket, Cloud service, and
-Postgres. That compatibility fixture is not a package dependency or fallback implementation.

These tokens stay latin and uninflected in every supported locale, so one string per locale suffices. The value comes from the forge manifest via `getForgePresentation`.
- **Sentences containing the full change-request noun** ("pull request" / "merge request" inflects and takes gender/case in translation) use the i18next `context` mechanism: the base key carries the pull-request wording and an `_mr` sibling carries the merge-request wording (`pullRequest` / `pullRequest_mr`). Call sites pass `t(key, { context: getForgePresentation(forge).changeRequestContext })`; an undefined or unknown context falls back to the base key.

-# Menus
-
-One engine, in `packages/app/src/components/ui/menu/`. `dropdown-menu.tsx` and `context-menu.tsx`

-Import the `DropdownMenu*` or `ContextMenu*` names as before; reach for `@/components/ui/menu`
-directly only when you are building a third trigger shape.
-
-Do not add a third menu implementation. The two that existed were byte-identical from
-`computePosition` down, and the copies drifted: only one of them ever grew a sheet.
-
-## Two presentations
-
-`MenuRoot` picks one from form factor, never from platform — a tablet in a narrow split view
-sheets the same way a phone does.
-
-| Screen                         | Surface                         | Submenus                                           |
-| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
-| Wide                           | Popover anchored to the trigger | Flyout overlapping the row, opened by hover intent |
-| Compact, `compactMode="sheet"` | Bottom sheet                    | The page is replaced in place, with a back header  |
-| Compact, default               | Popover                         | Same as wide                                       |
-
-`compactMode` defaults to `"popover"`, so adopting the sheet is per-menu. That is deliberate:
-flipping every menu in the app to sheets at once is not a change anyone can review. Opt a menu in
-when you have actually looked at it on a phone.
-
-`ContextMenu` is the exception: it defaults to `compactMode="sheet"` and enables native long press.
-Disable mobile triggering explicitly on draggable rows, where long press belongs to drag instead.
-
-## When the items differ per form factor
-
-A menu whose contents depend on what else is on screen gets one component per surface, not one
-component with `isMobile` branches inside it. The workspace header menu is the example
-(`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-header-menu.tsx`): compact has no tab strip, so it
-carries new-tab actions, while wide leaves those to the strip's `+` menu and lists workspace
-actions only. Items both surfaces share live in one component that each menu renders, from the same
-callbacks, so the two can't drift.
-
-## Selecting an item on iOS
-
-An item that closes the menu runs its action after a fixed grace period on iOS, not immediately:
-a native presenter launched while UIKit is still tearing down the surface can hang. Both surfaces
-unmount the moment the menu closes, so the wait is a timer rather than the surface's own dismissal
-callback — a callback fired from inside a subtree that is being removed is racing its own removal,
-and it loses. Selections used to be dropped entirely for exactly that reason.
-
-The consequence for callers: an `onSelect` on iOS runs a beat after the press. Don't add a second
-delay on top of it, and don't read state that the same press mutated.
-
-This is why a row inside a menu surface goes through `selectItem` rather than calling its handler
-from its own `Pressable`. `MenuItem` is not the only row shape on the engine — `ComposerTrackRow`
-is another, with its own icons and hover-revealed actions — but both hand the press to the engine
-and take `closeOnSelect` to say whether choosing them ends the surface. A row that owns its press
-outright leaves the surface open behind whatever it opened, and skips the iOS wait.
-
-## Pages
-
-A submenu is a page, declared as data on the surface and reached by a `MenuSubTrigger` whose `id`
-matches:
-
-```tsx
-<MenuSurface pages={pages} sheetTitle="Display">
-  <MenuSubTrigger id="grouping" value="Project">
-    Grouping
-  </MenuSubTrigger>
-</MenuSurface>
-```
-
-Pages are data rather than nested children because the popover renders them as _siblings_ of the
-root surface — a flyout nested inside the root's box would be clipped by its `overflow: hidden`.
-Declaring them separately is what lets one model drive both presentations.
-
-`menu-navigation.ts` holds that model, and it is pure: the open flyout chain and the mobile push
-stack are the same path, so the popover renders every entry in it and the sheet renders only the
-last. Nothing else differs between the two.
-
-Opening a submenu truncates the path to the depth of the trigger that opened it. Without that,
-sliding the pointer across a row of triggers would stack up every flyout it passed instead of
-swapping between them.
-
-## A page that takes input
-
-A menu page can hold a small form — `MenuTextField` is the field for it, drawn as a row's own
-fill so its text lands on the same rail as the labels above it. Two things have to be true for
-that page, and both are set on the page definition rather than discovered later:
-
- **`hoverIntent: false`.** A branch you skim is opened and closed by the pointer; a form is not.
-  Without this the page opens on a pointer that was only passing through, and dismisses itself —
-  draft and all — the moment your hands move to the keyboard and the mouse drifts off the flyout.
-  While such a page is open, the whole surface stops closing on hover, because the parent flyout
-  leads back to the same dismissal.
- **The compact presentation has to be a sheet.** `MenuTextField` resolves to
-  `BottomSheetTextInput` on compact native, which reads the sheet's context and has none in a
-  popover.
-
-The sheet keeps `keyboardBehavior="interactive"`. `extend` grows a sheet to its largest snap
-point, and with `enableDynamicSizing` that point is the content's own height — a short page does
-not grow, and the keyboard comes up over the field you are typing into.
-
-## Hover intent
-
-A flyout **overlaps its parent by 5pt** rather than sitting beside it. With a gap there is a strip
-of backdrop between the two that belongs to neither surface, and every pixel of it is a chance to
-dismiss the menu you are reaching for. Overlapping deletes the strip; don't reintroduce the gap
-and try to cover it with a longer timer.
-
-On top of that, a flyout opens after the pointer rests ~90ms, closes ~260ms after it leaves, and
-cancels its own pending close while the pointer is inside it. The grace still matters because the
-pointer crosses sibling rows on the way down into the flyout.
-
-Hover lives on a plain `View`, never on a `Pressable` — see [hover.md](hover.md), which owns that
-rule. Hover only fires on web, which is exactly where flyouts exist; everywhere else the page
-opens on press.
-
-## Item states
-
-`selected` and `active` are different questions and must not be merged.
-
-| Prop       | Means                      | Draws                     |
-| ---------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------- |
-| `selected` | This is the chosen value   | A check, and nothing else |
-| `active`   | This row's submenu is open | The fill, and no check    |
-
-`selected` also announces itself as `aria-checked`, so a multi-select page is audible as the list
-of on/off things it is.
-
-A selected row does **not** get a background. A check and a fill are two separate claims about the
-same state, and showing both makes a chosen row compete with the row the pointer is actually on.
-`showSelectedCheck` moves the check to a reserved leading column when a group needs to stay
-aligned whether ticked or not; otherwise it sits at the trailing edge and the leading slot is free
-for the option's icon.
-
-Give options icons; leave the root rows without them. The root is labels and their current values,
-and a column of icons there is decoration competing with the values you actually came to read.
-
-## Surface details
-
- The hover fill is **inset from the surface's edges and rounded** — a chip inside the menu, not a
-  band across it. The inset is taken _out of_ the row, never added to it: padding gives up what
-  margin takes, so labels sit at the same 13pt they always did. Insetting by growing the row is how
-  the menu ends up taller than it started.
- **A row is as tall as what is driving it** — 28pt for a pointer, 40pt below `md` for a thumb. The
-  split is on breakpoint, not on `presentation`: the compact popover that `compactMode` defaults to
-  is worked with a thumb just as a sheet is, and sizing off the sheet would leave it at the desktop
-  height. `md` is where `useIsCompactFormFactor` divides, so row height and the popover/sheet choice
-  turn over together.
- The desktop height only holds because the label's `lineHeight` is pinned — 18 line + 8 padding +
-  2 border is exactly 28. Leave it to the platform and content outgrows `minHeight`, which then does
-  nothing. Compact is the other way round: `minHeight` leads and the label centres in it.
- **A row owns its fill; `MenuPage` owns the spacing between rows.** The vertical inset above the
-  first row and below the last, and the gap between rows, are the page's — one knob each,
-  `MENU_ROW_GAP` being the one a redesign turns. A row that carried vertical margin would be
-  serving both at once, and since margins don't collapse it would land as one unit at the edges and
-  two between rows, so shrinking the gap would eat the inset with it. Horizontal inset does stay on
-  the row: there is one left edge and one right edge, so nothing is doubling up.
- `MenuPage` is also what provides a page's depth, so the popover and the sheet cannot disagree
-  about what a page is. Every entry point goes through it — root, flyout, pushed sheet page.
- The gap reaches a page's **direct children**. A group of rows wrapped in a `View` of its own drops
-  out of it; at the current gap of zero there is nothing to lose, but anything above zero wants that
-  wrapper to carry the page style too.
- The separator is the one row-level thing that asks for vertical space of its own, and now that
-  rows carry none, that is still one number controlling one gap. It takes no horizontal margin and
-  the page has no horizontal padding, so the rule runs the full width of the surface.
- Separators use `borderAccent`, the same colour the surface outlines itself with. `border` sits
-  between `surface1` and `surface2`, which put it within a hair of the hover fill and made
-  separators disappear against a hovered row.
-
-## When a decision earns a submenu
-
-Put a decision behind a submenu when its options are not the point — the current _value_ is. The
-root row then reads as the answer (`Grouping  Project ›`) and costs one line instead of one line
-per option. A menu whose every option is on screen at once does not survive its third decision.
-
-Independent toggles stay on their page as a checkmark list. A pick-one group can share that page
-below a `MenuSeparator`; make selecting the checked row clear it, so "none" doesn't need a row of
-its own.
-
-## Gotchas
-
- **Released height.** Reanimated's web entering animation leaves an inline height snapshot on
-  the surface. `AnchoredSurface` clears it, and a `revision` prop re-clears it when content
-  identity changes — a pushed page taller than the one it replaced is clipped without that.
- **Animate only once placed.** The same snapshot carries top/left, and Reanimated writes it back
-  750ms after mount. `AnchoredSurface` remounts the surface when its position resolves so the
-  entering animation never ends at the off-screen measuring position; on a slow machine that
-  write moved the open menu back off-screen.
- **Sheets size to content.** `enableDynamicSizing`, not fixed snap points. A pushed page is
-  rarely the height of the page before it.
- **The sheet's content is teleported out of the menu's subtree**, so `MenuSheetSurface` rebuilds
-  both menu contexts through the sheet's `contextBridge`. Providing them around the modal puts
-  them on the wrong side of the portal and every item inside throws. Gotcha 7 in
-  [floating-panels.md](floating-panels.md).
- **One overlay per menu.** Submenus render inside their parent's layer and paint no second
-  backdrop, so there is exactly one `Modal` on native no matter how deep the menu goes.
- **Retained panels own visibility.** The shared menu surface unmounts when its panel becomes
-  inactive. An async action can navigate before its menu closes; a hidden panel must not leave a
-  portal backdrop blocking the destination. On web the chat suspends one commit after it goes
-  inactive, and that inactive commit is where the surface unmounts.
- Anchoring, flipping, and edge clamping live in `menu-anchor.ts` and are unit-tested. Fix
-  positioning bugs there, not at a call site.
- Everything else about floating surfaces on Android — Portal/Modal escape, lifecycle gates,
-  status-bar offset, the open flash — is in [floating-panels.md](floating-panels.md).

-# Mobile panels
-
-Compact layouts have three mutually exclusive destinations:
-
- `agent-list` on the left
- `agent` in the center
- `file-explorer` on the right
-
-They are one interaction, not two independent drawers. The implementation lives in
-`packages/app/src/mobile-panels/`.
-
-## Ownership
-
-React/Zustand owns the durable intent:
-
-```ts
-interface MobilePanelSelection {
-  target: "agent-list" | "agent" | "file-explorer";
-  revision: number;
-}
-```
-
-Every semantic target change increments `revision`. Repeating the current target is idempotent.
-Compact panel selection is not persisted; a cold start begins at `agent`.
-
-The UI worklet owns transient motion:
-
- one normalized position (`-1` left, `0` center, `1` right)
- the current motion target
- the active gesture's starting revision
- the last settled target
-
-React publishes the active panel only when the canonical target and the UI-thread position agree at
-the final anchor. Retained content never observes gesture previews, progress, or an unsettled target.
-The gesture hosts stay mounted; worklets reveal their retained overlays through native styles while
-React owns pointer events and accessibility. Native panel hosts and their dependent draggable lists
-also retain identity across appearance hydration and settings changes. Do not wrap those hosts in
-appearance keys; see [Unistyles appearance boundaries](unistyles.md#runtime-theme-patching-for-user-preferences).
-
-## Why one position
-
-Both transforms and both backdrop opacities are derived from the same normalized position. Window
-width is only a projection input. Rotation changes the projection, not the panel state.
-
-This makes these invalid states unrepresentable:
-
- a panel and its backdrop disagreeing
- left and right drawers both claiming to be open
- a width-sync effect resetting an active drag
- one animation context settling a transition owned by the other
-
-Do not add another panel translate shared value, backdrop shared value, or width synchronization
-effect.
-
-## Ordering and interruption
-
-A gesture captures the current revision when it becomes active. Per-frame updates are accepted only
-while that revision still owns the gesture.
-
-When a React command arrives during a drag, its newer revision clears gesture ownership and starts
-motion toward the new target. The older gesture's remaining updates and finish callback are ignored.
-Canceled gestures return to the latest canonical target. A successful gesture starts its finishing
-motion immediately; the matching React command adopts that motion instead of restarting it. Position
-settlement and command acceptance may arrive in either order. Activity changes after both agree on
-the same target.
-
-Manual gesture arbitration has two phases:
-
-1. Before activation, determine whether horizontal intent may begin.
-2. After activation, stop running begin checks and let the active revision own updates.
-
-Re-running the begin gate after activation self-cancels the gesture because an active gesture is, by
-definition, no longer eligible to begin.
-
-## Integration rules
-
- Callers request semantic targets through `panel-store`; they never write shared values.
- Gesture behavior comes from the four explicit hooks in `mobile-panels/gestures.ts`.
- A focused interactive surface may block panel-opening gestures through
-  `useBlockMobilePanelOpenGestures`. Register only while the conflicting interaction is active and
-  unregister when the surface is hidden or unfocused. The blocker never disables gestures that close
-  an already-open panel.
- Keep `SidebarModelProvider` outside `MobileGestureWrapper`. The provider shares sidebar derivation
-  across consumers, while Gesture Handler requires the wrapper's direct child to be a native `View`
-  so its injected `collapsable={false}` reaches Android/Fabric.
- Mobile sidebars render through `MobilePanelOverlay`; do not duplicate overlay lifecycle or motion
-  styles in sidebar components.
- The desktop left sidebar is retained too. App chrome owns separate mounted and visible decisions:
-  closing it or yielding its width marks it inactive and applies `display: none` without conditionally
-  removing the sidebar tree.
- Animated panel nodes use React Native static styles plus inline theme values. Do not attach
-  Unistyles-generated styles to those nodes; Unistyles and Reanimated patching the same Fabric node
-  has caused native crashes.
- `FORCE_REACT_RENDER_FOR_SETTLED_ANIMATIONS` stays off in `packages/app/package.json`. It is a
-  compile-time flag; changing it needs a native rebuild. With it on, Reanimated 4.3 hands settled
-  animated props back to React through a collector that forgets entries older than two seconds. A JS
-  stall across a panel settle loses the final position, and the next React commit reverts the overlay
-  to its last synced props: a backdrop over the workspace while the store says closed. Upstream fixed
-  the collector in 4.4.3, which needs React Native 0.83.
- Gesture start and progress must not update React state. The retained overlay is already mounted and
-  offscreen; only the shared position and its derived native styles move during a drag.
- Hidden tabs and workspaces use `RetainedPanel`. It owns a non-collapsible native root, visibility,
-  pointer events, and the active signal consumed by `useRetainedPanelActive`.
- Panels whose gesture wrapper already owns visibility use `RetainedPanelActivity` to provide the
-  same active signal without adding another layout root. Persistent animations, timers, polling, and
-  shared clocks must subscribe to that signal and stop when their final visible consumer leaves.
- Synchronized step animations use one wall-clock-aligned source. Register a local shared value only
-  while its retained panel is active so hidden animated styles remain mounted without receiving clock
-  updates. Do not give every instance its own loop or leave hidden styles subscribed to the source.
- Retention order and render order are separate concerns. LRU metadata may change on every switch;
-  keyed retained roots must keep a stable sibling order. Moving large retained roots triggered Fabric
-  Differ failures (`addViewAt` / `removeViewAt` view reuse) on Android.
- `useIsMobilePanelActive` follows the settled target, not the requested target. Position at the
-  canonical target's anchor is the settlement signal; animation duration and completion callbacks
-  do not own activity. Cancellation publishes nothing.
- Do not suspend retained native subtrees with `Suspense`/`react-freeze`. Suspension changes native
-  ownership and can detach descendants. Keep the tree mounted, stabilize its subscriptions/selectors,
-  and use the retained-panel active signal to stop timers, polling, and other genuine background work.
-  Hidden chat content is suspended on web only, through `retained-chat-content.web.tsx`, where DOM
-  nodes carry no Fabric ownership; the native file keeps the chat live.

 # Mobile Testing

-## Agent Device
-
-Agent Device `.ad` scripts are the primary mobile E2E format. An agent discovers a working flow interactively, saves the successful commands, then the replay runner executes the same typed plan locally or in CI.
-
-Record a flow while driving the app normally:
-
-```bash
-agent-device open sh.paseo.debug \
-  --platform ios \
-  --session terminal-author \
-  --save-script ./packages/app/e2e/mobile/agent-device/terminal.ios.ad
-agent-device snapshot -i --session terminal-author
-agent-device press 'id="workspace-header-menu-trigger"' --session terminal-author
-# Continue the flow and verify its result with wait/get/is/find.
-agent-device close --session terminal-author
-```
-
-`close` writes the script. Keep selectors based on stable app IDs. Keep assertions as `wait`, `get`, `is`, or `find` commands; screenshots are evidence, not assertions.
-
-Run the Paseo mobile suite:
-
-```bash
-npm run test:e2e:mobile
-```
-
-The runner uses an isolated Agent Device state directory, verifies or starts Metro for this checkout, prewarms the iOS runner, discovers each script's platform from its `context` header, and cleans its sessions, runner lease, daemon, and any Metro process it started. Attempt results, timings, logs, and failure artifacts go under `.dev/agent-device-artifacts`.
-
-Set `PASEO_MOBILE_E2E_METRO_PORT` when this worktree already has Metro on a non-default port:

Each opens a fresh terminal, types a command at zero delay, submits it, and asserts its distinct output. The app must be connected to a daemon with an active workspace.
-
-For Android keyboard continuity, run the current checkout in the app, open an idle terminal
-with an empty prompt, hide its keyboard, and run:
-
-```bash
-ANDROID_SERIAL=emulator-5554 node packages/app/e2e/mobile/terminal-keyboard/android.mjs
-```
-
-Use a real docked software keyboard. The harness taps Ctrl, Esc, and Enter and checks Android's
-focused input identity and IME hide/show events. It saves screenshots and logs under
-`.dev/agent-device-artifacts/terminal-keyboard-android`. Set `PASEO_TERMINAL_KEYBOARD_APP_ID=sh.paseo`
-to test an installed production build. It never submits a chat message.
-
-`npm run test:e2e:composer-keyboard:android` preserves the chat control and
-keyboard regression flow, then runs the same growth, retained-height, bounds, and
-hold-to-delete and background-tap dismissal scenario on chat, a workspace draft
-tab, and New workspace. It checks empty-content taps and header taps at the cap
-without changing the input height. Each
-host also opens command/file autocomplete, the model selector, the attachment
-menu, and the forge picker from both keyboard states. It then submits a long
-fixture from each host and checks native stream displacement twice: after the
-response settles, and after returning to the bottom and letting the scrollbar
-fade. The image comparison excludes the scrollbar; keyboard dismissal alone
-does not prove that native scrolling receives touches.
-Artifacts are grouped by host under
-`.dev/agent-device-artifacts/composer-keyboard-android`. Configure its daemon,
-Metro, and device through the `PASEO_COMPOSER_KEYBOARD_*` variables in
-`packages/app/e2e/mobile/composer-keyboard/android.sh`. Use a software keyboard;
-the headless input helper cannot verify the
-[visible composer constraints](floating-panels.md#gotcha-3--keyboard-layout-and-portal-anchors).
-
-On a Play-image emulator, disable Gmail and Calendar first. Their welcome
-screens launch on their own, take input focus, and the run fails with
-`IME did not become visible` while the app still looks focused:

-adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.calendar

-tested over Metro or EAS Update**. Those ship JS only. A stale dev-client binary silently lacks the new

-assigned. One missing native module, N confusing warnings.
-
-**Prerequisite: Xcode needs a signed-in Apple ID for the signing team _with a valid keychain token_.** An
-account that merely appears in Xcode → Settings → Accounts is not enough — if its `Xcode-Token` is missing,
-the build below fails at code signing and blames a _certificate_ instead. See
-[Signing needs a working Apple ID token in Xcode](#signing-needs-a-working-apple-id-token-in-xcode) before
-you start, not after it fails.
-
-```bash
-cd packages/app
-npm --prefix ../.. run build:client
-APP_VARIANT=development npx expo prebuild --platform ios
-APP_VARIANT=development npx expo run:ios --device
-```
-
-`APP_VARIANT=development` is required. The `ios` npm script does not set it, and `app.config.js` defaults
-to `production` — so a bare `npm run ios` builds `sh.paseo` and collides with the App Store install instead
-of the `sh.paseo.debug` dev client. Ignore prebuild's `--non-interactive is not supported` warning; use
-`CI=1` if you need non-interactive.
-
-### Signing needs a working Apple ID token in Xcode
-
-Device builds fail with a trio of errors that all point away from the real cause:
-
-```
-error: No Accounts: Add a new account in Accounts settings.
-error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: *" doesn't include
-       signing certificate "Apple Development: <name>".
-error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: *" doesn't include
-       the aps-environment entitlement.
-```
-
-**`No Accounts` does not reliably mean no account is configured.** Check the line _above_ it in the build
-log before believing it:
-
-```
-DVTDeveloperAccountManager: Failed to load credentials for <apple-id>:
-  Invalid credentials in keychain for <apple-id>, missing Xcode-Token
-```
-
-That is the actual failure: the Apple ID is registered in Xcode, but its `Xcode-Token` keychain item is gone
-(typically after an Apple ID password change or a keychain reset). Xcode reports it as `No Accounts`, then
-falls back to whatever stale profile is cached — and if the machine holds a dev cert newer than that
-profile, you get the _certificate_ mismatch as a second-order symptom. Chasing the certificate error is a
-dead end.
-
-Verify what is actually configured rather than trusting the message:
-
-```bash
-# Accounts Xcode knows about
-defaults read com.apple.dt.Xcode DVTDeveloperAccountManagerAppleIDLists
-
-# The credential that is actually missing (error => no token)
-security find-generic-password -s "Xcode-Token"
-```
-
-Fix: Xcode → Settings → Accounts, re-sign-in to the listed Apple ID (removing and re-adding forces a fresh
-token). That restores `-allowProvisioningUpdates`, profile regeneration, and push.
-
-Signing an Xcode-_managed_ profile via `CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Manual` is not a workaround; Xcode rejects it with
-`is Xcode managed, but signing settings require a manually managed profile`.
-
-If you need a build on the device before the token is fixed, build unsigned and sign by hand with a cert the
-cached profile already embeds (list them with `security cms -D -i <profile>.mobileprovision`, then compare
-against `security find-identity -v -p codesigning`):
-
-```bash
-xcodebuild ... CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" build
-cp <profile>.mobileprovision "$APP/embedded.mobileprovision"
-# sign nested frameworks/dylibs first, then the bundle, then:
-xcrun devicectl device install app --device <udid> "$APP"
-```
-
-This is a stopgap, not a fix: `expo prebuild` regenerates `packages/app/ios/` and discards it. It also
-requires stripping entitlements the cached profile lacks (e.g. `aps-environment`), so push is dead in such a
-build.
-
-To verify only that native Swift compiles, skip signing entirely — the pods have their own schemes:
-
-```bash
-cd packages/app/ios
-xcodebuild -workspace PaseoDebug.xcworkspace -scheme ExpoTwoWayAudio \
-  -sdk iphoneos -destination 'generic/platform=iOS' CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO build
-```
-
-Confirm the log compiled _your_ file and not a cached copy: the `SwiftCompile` line should reference
-`packages/expo-two-way-audio/ios/...`, not a path inside DerivedData.
-
-### Headless launch cannot verify runtime behavior
-
-`xcrun devicectl device process launch` reports `The app terminated with the exit code 0` about a second
-after launch when the phone's screen is off — the app is suspended and killed before the JS bundle loads.
-This is **not** a build defect. Confirm with a control: launch `com.apple.Preferences` the same way and
-watch it exit identically. Headless install and launch prove the binary is valid and that startup reaches
-RN init; anything about on-screen behavior needs a human holding the phone.

-# Daemon permissions
-
-The daemon authorizes principals with semantic permissions. RPC names and protocol namespaces are not authority.
-
-## Model
-
-```text
-principal -> grants
-    |
-    +-- authenticated by a device or service credential
-    `-- opens a session with equal or narrower authority
-```
-
-A principal is the durable identity the daemon authorizes. A credential proves that a device or service represents it. Keep them separate so you can rotate credentials, attach more than one device, and revoke a Hub user without inventing daemon user accounts.
-
-A pairing invitation is neither. It is an expiring, single-use exchange that creates a principal and credential with the permissions selected by its issuer.
-
-## Permissions
-
-| Permission          | Authority                                                                  |
-| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `daemon.read`       | Daemon status, diagnostics, configuration, and provider information        |
-| `daemon.manage`     | Restart, update, configuration changes, providers, skills, and plugins     |
-| `tunnel.manage`     | Relay, Hub, service tunnel, and public endpoint relationships              |
-| `access.manage`     | Pairing invitations, principals, credentials, grants, and revocation       |
-| `workspace.read`    | Projects, workspaces, agents, timelines, files, diffs, and terminal output |
-| `workspace.write`   | Prompts, agent control, files, terminals, git operations, and scripts      |
-| `workspace.manage`  | Create, rename, archive, and remove projects and workspaces                |
-| `automation.manage` | Schedules, heartbeats, and loops                                           |
-| `hub.execute`       | Agent lifecycle, workspace titling, observation, and recovery              |
-
-Agents and terminals use workspace authority. Both can execute code and mutate the workspace, so separate write permissions would claim an isolation boundary the daemon cannot enforce.
-
-Owner, operator, and viewer are UI presets expanded into explicit permissions. Do not persist them as roles. Adding a permission must not silently widen an existing principal.
-
-Permissions are additive allows. Missing authority denies the operation. Do not add deny precedence.
-
-## Resources
-
-Permissions are daemon-wide today. Future grants may select workspaces or agents, but operation classification remains inside the authorization module:
-
-```ts
-type Grant = {
-  permission: Permission;
-  resource: { kind: "daemon" } | { kind: "workspace"; ids: string[] };
-};
-```
-
-A delegating principal can grant only authority it already possesses. A session may attenuate its principal's grants but cannot widen them.
-
-Workspace-scoped grants require every resource-bearing operation and outbound observation to enforce the same workspace boundary. File preview currently accepts any daemon-readable regular file, so it must gain resource enforcement before workspace-specific access ships.
-
-## Hub
-
-The Hub authenticates as a service principal. Its locally selected grants decide whether it may execute agents, manage the daemon, manage tunnels, or manage access.
-
-Hub user and role identifiers remain opaque external subjects. The Hub may create and revoke linked daemon principals when granted `access.manage`; the daemon does not interpret accounts, organizations, or roles.
-
-Hub enrollment and permission updates exchange these semantic permissions directly. Legacy persisted Hub relationships that contain `hub.execution.*` migrate once to `hub.execute` when the daemon loads them; new relationships never persist or emit transport scopes as authority.

-> **Trust every plugin you add.** `paseo plugin add` and `paseo plugin install` mean “I trust this codebase.” Plugins are unsandboxed: server code and preparation commands run with the daemon user's access on the daemon host, and client contributions run inside Paseo.

-
-## Install a directory source
-
-Create a typecheckable plugin project, install its development dependencies, then install it into
-the daemon. `init` only writes the project files; it does not run the package manager.
-
-```bash
-paseo plugin init /absolute/path/to/my-plugin
-cd /absolute/path/to/my-plugin
-npm install
-npm run typecheck
-paseo plugin install /absolute/path/to/my-plugin
-paseo plugin install /absolute/path/to/my-plugin --id another-runtime-id
-paseo plugin ls
-```
-
-The daemon stores directory sources under the root `plugins` object:
-
-```json
-{
-  "pluginsEnabled": true,
-  "plugins": {
-    "my-plugin": {
-      "source": "directory",
-      "path": "/absolute/path/to/my-plugin",
-      "enabled": true
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Installed plugins are disabled unless `pluginsEnabled` is `true`. Built-in plugins remain active.
-Changing that root field is
-runtime-safe: run `paseo reload` after editing `config.json`. Enabling starts every configured,
-enabled plugin; disabling tears them all down without restarting the daemon. Plugin source entries
-remain lifecycle-owned and do not reload from manual config edits.
-
-The directory contains a manifest declaring identity and Paseo requirements, one optional entry per runtime, runtime-owned
-directories, and local typechecking support. At least one entry is required.
-
-```text
-my-plugin/
-  paseo-plugin.json
-  package.json
-  tsconfig.json
-  index.client.tsx
-  index.server.ts
-  client/greeting.tsx
-  server/greeting.ts
-  shared/greeting.ts
-```
-
-The generated `package.json` installs `@getpaseo/plugin` and the other host modules as development
-dependencies for local typechecking and tests. Paseo compiles TypeScript and TSX and supplies the
-runtime modules, so consumers do not install these packages when adding the plugin.
-
-```json
-{
-  "id": "my-plugin",
-  "requirements": { "paseo": ">=0.8.0" }
-}
-```
-
-Declare the supported Paseo range and keep it current when adopting newer APIs. See the
-[requirements contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#requirements), including legacy
-manifests and prerelease matching.
-
-The config key is the runtime plugin ID. The manifest ID is the default selected during install;
-`--id` overrides it. Existing configuration is not renamed when the manifest changes, and the
-runtime does not compare the two IDs. The same directory can be installed under several config
-keys.
-
-Never enable plugins on a user's behalf without explicit permission. Before asking, check the
-target daemon's current `pluginsEnabled` value. State that plugins are trusted, unsandboxed code:
-backend code can access the daemon machine, while client contributions run inside the Paseo app.
-
-Source changes are explicit. Run `paseo plugin reload <id>` to stop and fully tear down the old
-plugin before compiling and starting from disk. A failed reload stays failed; Paseo does not restore
-the old code. Use `enable`, `disable`, and `remove` to manage one plugin. Removing a directory source
-never deletes it. The global `pluginsEnabled` switch remains available.
-
-## Built-in plugins
-
-Built-in plugins live in `plugins/<id>/` and ship with the daemon. Add a directory and one ID to
-`builtinPlugins` in `packages/server/src/server/plugins/builtin/index.ts`. The workspace, build
-copy, and CI checks cover every listed directory; unlisted directories do not load. Built-ins run
-in process, ignore `pluginsEnabled`, and do not appear in `config.json` or the installed plugin
-list. Their client bundles appear in the plugin catalog. Editing one in development requires a
-daemon restart. Directory, Git, and npm installs cannot use a built-in ID.
-
-## Install a Git source
-
-GitHub repositories use an `owner/repository` shorthand. Other hosts use a Git URL. An existing
-directory always wins over shorthand resolution.
-
-```bash
-paseo plugin add owner/repository
-paseo plugin add https://gitlab.com/group/repository.git
-paseo plugin add https://git.example.com/owner/repository.git
-paseo plugin add owner/monorepo:plugins/review
-paseo plugin add owner/repository --ref main
-paseo plugin ls
-paseo plugin update review
-paseo plugin update --all
-```
-
-Append `:relative/path` to the source when the plugin lives below the repository root.
-
-`--ref` chooses the initial branch, tag, or commit once. Ordinary updates resolve the remote's
-current default HEAD and ask for approval. `ls` reports the installed commit without contacting the remote.
-Removing a Git source deletes Paseo's managed checkout.
-
-## Managed source ownership
-
-The [public source reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#plugin-sources) owns identifier
-syntax and npm prerequisites; the [publishing guide](../public-docs/plugins/publishing.md) owns distribution. Both clients send the source unchanged
-through `installPluginSource`; only the daemon resolves host paths and acquires sources.
-
-`ManagedPluginSources` owns acquisition and offline source description. Config stores the active
-directory; sources.json stores managed kind and the Git acquisition remote. The remote is needed
-because authenticated clones may have a rewritten placeholder origin. Fixed owned directory layout
-provides the selected subdirectory, npm package name and cleanup root. Git HEAD and the installed
-npm package.json checked against package-lock.json provide the current revision. Keep the complete
-npm dependency tree and lockfile after staging activation. No install selector governs updates.
-
-The loader sees only the configured directory and never invokes npm. npm lifecycle scripts are
-disabled during acquisition; manifest preparation owns required commands before validation.
-
-List responses retain the closed `source: directory | git` enum. The optional `installation`
-projection carries identity and current revision. Old npm metadata remains accepted but is no longer
-emitted. Installation uses `features.pluginSourceInstallation`; reviewed preview/apply uses
-`features.pluginSourceUpdates`, gated by the SDK and CLI entry. The old immediate-update request
-returns update-client guidance. Basic management remains independently available.
-
-Preview returns exact targets and expected installed identity/root/revision. Apply validates those
-values, acquires the displayed artifact or commit, then rechecks state before activation. No review
-session is stored in the daemon. PluginService owns activation/recovery and independent bulk results.
-
-### Declare Git preparation
-
-Most plugins should omit `build`. Use it only when the staged checkout must install a dependency
-that Paseo does not provide, generate source or assets, or perform another required preparation
-step:
-
-```json
-{
-  "id": "review",
-  "requirements": { "paseo": ">=0.8.0" },
-  "build": [
-    ["npm", "ci"],
-    ["npm", "run", "build"]
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-`build` is an optional list of argv arrays. Each array must contain at least one non-empty string;
-shell command strings are rejected. Paseo starts the executable directly, without a shell, from the
-plugin directory in the staged checkout. It never detects lockfiles or chooses a package manager.
-
-On install and every update, Paseo resolves the exact Git revision and manifest, runs the declared
-commands, then validates, compiles, and activates the candidate. It logs each argv command and its
-output in the daemon log. If a command fails, the error includes its output, Paseo discards the
-candidate, and the existing installed and running version stays untouched. On a remote daemon, all
-of this happens on the remote daemon host.
-
-Server contributions can write to stdout and stderr with normal Node logging. Paseo adds `[paseo]`
-entries for loading, ready, stopping, and stopped transitions. Compilation and load failures are
-recorded as stderr entries before a subprocess exists. Inspect the recent in-memory
-tail from the host plugin settings or with `paseo plugin logs <id>`. Git preparation commands are
-recorded in `$PASEO_HOME/daemon.log` before a plugin exists, rather than the plugin log tail. Reload, disable, and process
-failure retain the tail; removing the plugin clears it. Daemon restarts do not retain the tail, but
-structured copies remain in `$PASEO_HOME/daemon.log`. Plugin output can contain secrets, so do not
-log credentials or tokens.
-
-## Contribute behavior and UI
-
-Default export one contribution function from each runtime entry. Keep the entries to registration
-wiring. Runtime code lives behind directory boundaries:

-Do not put any other code modules in the plugin root.
-
-Shared files import contract helpers and types from `@getpaseo/plugin`. Server handler files import
-`PluginHandlerContext` from `@getpaseo/plugin/server`. Client files import Paseo UI from
-`@getpaseo/plugin/client/react-native`. Its `Icon` resolves a Lucide name using the client's installed icon
-set; an unknown name renders nothing so it cannot break the plugin surface.
-Its controlled modal keeps presentation metadata on `<Modal title="…" icon={…}>` and body UI in
-`<Modal.Content>`. Body layout, sheet-aware scrolling, and clipboard actions follow the
-[host UI contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#host-ui).
-Plugin UI runs on desktop and mobile across multiple themes: color every `Text` from
-`theme.colors.foreground` or `theme.colors.foregroundMuted`, and size layout from `layout.compact`.
-See `public-docs/plugins/reference.md`.
-
-### SDK import boundaries
-
-Classify every SDK export before adding it. All client entry points and implementations live under
-`client/`; all server entry points and implementations live under `server/`. The package root is shared code: plain data types,
-Zod schemas, and functions that run in both runtimes. A type-only import is still an architectural
-dependency; shared types must not refer to React components, hooks, Node APIs, or server contexts.
-

-
-Server code imports shared helpers from the root and server capabilities from `/server`. Client
-code imports shared helpers from the root and client capabilities from `/client`. Neither runtime
-imports the other. Re-exports follow the same rule; tree shaking does not establish a boundary.
-React, React Native, JSX runtimes, and client hooks must never be reachable from the root or any
-server entry. Node and platform-specific code must never be reachable from the shared root.
-
-The SDK boundary checks and real plugin-subprocess tests enforce these rules. Every SDK change
-must preserve them and update the public reference, migration guide, scaffold, and examples when
-an author-facing import changes. The plugin compiler enforces the same runtime entry rules for
-plugin-authored code. Keep the package export map and host-provided module maps consistent.
-
-The compiler rejects imports across runtime directories or SDK entries, React dependencies in
-server code, and Node imports in client code (including bare names such as `fs`). Shared modules
-cannot import runtime-owned modules. Forbidden imports fail compilation; never replace them with
-empty module stubs. A relative
-import to any other code file in the plugin root is also rejected; move it into `client/`, `server/`,
-or `shared/`. These are compile errors naming the importing file and boundary rule. Top-level React
-Native calls such as `StyleSheet.create` belong in `client/`.
-
-The scaffold omits `"DOM"` from `tsconfig.json` and does not use `/// <reference lib="dom" />`, so
-browser globals are not available across the plugin. Put sanctioned web-only APIs in
-`client/web.ts`, declare only the globals that module uses, gate each export with
-`Platform.OS === "web"`, and provide a native implementation or no-op. See the
-[public plugin reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#works-on-mobile) for the complete
-pattern.
-
-```ts
-// index.server.ts
-import type { PluginServerContext } from "@getpaseo/plugin/server";
-import { createGreeting } from "./server/greeting";
-import { greetRpc } from "./shared/greeting";
-
-export default function contribute(server: PluginServerContext) {
-  server.handle(greetRpc, createGreeting);
-  return () => {};
-}
-```
-
-```tsx
-// index.client.tsx
-import type { PluginClientContext } from "@getpaseo/plugin/client";
-import { Greeting } from "./client/greeting";
-
-export default function contribute(client: PluginClientContext) {
-  client.addSurface("main", Greeting);
-  client.addSidebarItem({ id: "main", title: "Greeting", icon: "MessageCircle", surface: "main" });
-  return () => {};
-}
-```
-
-The contribution function must return cleanup. Server cleanup may be async; Paseo waits for it when
-the plugin is reloaded, disabled, removed, disconnected, or shut down. Cleanup is for resources
-created by plugin code. Paseo removes registered contributions, unmounts surfaces, clears query
-state, rejects pending RPCs, closes the plugin's daemon session, and stops the subprocess. Cleanup
-errors are logged and do not interrupt host teardown.
-
-Paseo owns the route, screen header, Lucide icon validation, close action, theme DTO, layout facts,
-and render error boundary. The contributed component owns the complete body below the header.
-
-RPC contracts validate inputs and outputs in both the app and plugin subprocess. `useRpc` returns a
-typed async function. Use the host-provided `@tanstack/react-query` for request state and caching;
-Paseo gives each plugin installation its own query client.
-
-`usePaseo()` and the handler's `{ paseo }` context expose the same `PaseoApi`: projects,
-workspaces, agents, terminals, providers, and daemon config. They do not expose connection lifecycle. A surface borrows the
-selected host's existing connection; switching the screen's host changes both `usePaseo()` and
-`useRpc()` to that host. An offline selected host fails there and never falls through to another
-installation. A server handler owns an IPC-backed daemon session for the life of its subprocess.
-Use plugin RPC for plugin-specific backend behavior that is not a normal Paseo operation.
-
-Host-targeted clients and discovery are owned by `packages/app/src/plugins/hosts`, with per-installation
-bindings supplied by the bundle loader. Bind the imperative getter to that installation; do not
-resolve ownership through a mutable current-plugin global. Keep observation ownership in this module
-and transport ownership in the app host runtime. See the [public host API contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#discover-hosts-and-target-another-host).
-
-Each subprocess gets an exclusively owned `plugin:<id>` session. That identity is reserved from
-normal clients, never resumes another session, and is cleaned immediately on exit without reconnect
-grace. During daemon startup, plugin sessions may connect while application WebSockets remain
-paused; the daemon accepts clients only after configured plugins have settled and the initial
-catalog is complete.
-
-When the same plugin contribution exists on multiple hosts, Paseo shows it once in the sidebar and
-adds a host picker to the screen header. The selected host supplies the bundle, RPC transport, and
-query cache. Explicit SDK targets follow the [host API contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#discover-hosts-and-target-another-host).
-
-Workspace panels, Command Center items, and client slash commands are client contributions. The
-daemon transports their compiled bundle without interpreting placement or callbacks. Panel props
-contain workspace and agent IDs. Required-selector hooks read normalized client state synchronously
-and use shallow equality, so a panel does not subscribe to fields it does not render. Command
-callbacks materialize their snapshots only when invoked. Contribution discovery and panel opening
-never fetch active context through plugin RPC. Snapshot DTOs are deeply readonly and frozen at
-runtime so plugin code cannot mutate normalized app state or a memoized selection. Panels use one persisted
-`plugin` workspace-tab target, so reload, disable, removal, and restoration resolve through the
-current installed-plugin catalog. A missing contribution renders unavailable inside the tab.
-Panels declare `locations: ["workspace", "explorer"]` to opt into Explorer hosting; omission means
-workspace only. Location controls hosting, not context. An agent panel target keeps its `agentId`
-when moved between hosts. Explorer configuration can create workspace-context panels and remove
-existing agent-context instances, but it cannot create an agent panel without an agent-aware command.
-
-Command Center callbacks use the selected host's existing `PaseoApi` for normal Paseo operations.
-They use typed plugin RPC only for plugin-specific backend work. Surface and panel navigation
-belongs to the app; plugins do not receive Expo Router or workspace-layout store access.
-See the public [navigation fields](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#surfaces-and-sidebar-items)
-and [external links and workspace browsers](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#external-links-and-workspace-browsers)
-for the author-facing contract.
-
-## Lifecycle hooks
-
-Server entries register lifecycle observers with `server.on()` and request transforms with
-`server.before()`. The [public reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#lifecycle-hooks)
-owns callback shapes, ordering, and failure behavior. `plugin-examples/lifecycle-logger` registers all
-eleven hooks; `plugin-examples/lifecycle-actions` demonstrates common automation callbacks.
-
-Emit from the operation owner, not a client subscription. Provider history replay must not trigger
-live hooks. Observers must not be awaited inside agent mutations: a callback can send a prompt or
-answer a permission through its own daemon session. Awaiting it there deadlocks that command.
-
-## Contribute a provider
-
-Register a provider from `index.server.ts`. The provider connection is callback-based and owns all
-of its sessions; plugin RPC is not part of the provider data path.
-
-```ts
-import type { PluginServerContext } from "@getpaseo/plugin/server";
-import type { ProviderRegistration } from "@getpaseo/plugin/server/provider";
-import { createProvider } from "./server/provider";
-
-export default function contribute(server: PluginServerContext) {
-  server.registerProvider(createProvider() satisfies ProviderRegistration);
-  return () => {};
-}
-```
-
-Implement optional `ProviderRegistration.getCatalogCacheKey(options)` to share equivalent catalogue
-probes. The callback runs in the plugin process before discovery and receives the actual global or
-workspace target. Return a key covering effective configuration and execution environment, or
-`undefined` for target-specific caching. Ignore `force` when choosing identity. Existing providers
-need no change. See [catalogue ownership](providers.md#provider-snapshot-refresh-contract).
-
-`send()` resolves after acceptance. Publish operation completion, prompt disposition, turn state,
-configuration, permissions, persistence, and complete timeline snapshots through `onEvent()`.
-Route messages, structured commands, steering, and command side effects through `session.prompt`.
-Provider settings are toggle/select data that Paseo renders in the composer. Keep private options in
-the opaque `providerOptions` config object.
-
-Agent refresh closes the current provider session and opens it again with current configuration and
-persistence. Providers re-read credentials, environment, global configuration, and MCP servers on
-`session.open`; there is no provider reload input.
-
-For an ACP command, register `runAcpProvider({ id, label, command })` from
-`@getpaseo/plugin/server/acp`. Its transformer hooks cover narrow vendor differences; do not translate the
-whole provider event stream. The direct and ACP examples live in `plugin-examples/provider-direct`
-and `plugin-examples/provider-acp-transformer`.
-
-Provider-emitted plugin timeline items use the same renderer registration as transformed and
-daemon-appended plugin items. The direct example includes both sides. The renderer-only
-`plugin-examples/inline-thinking` example shows that timeline presentation remains independent of a
-provider implementation. The public [provider plugin guide](../public-docs/plugins/providers.md)
-owns author workflow, lifecycle, testing, and distribution guidance.
-
-`ProviderRegistration.icon` is a file path relative to the plugin directory, such as `icon.svg`.
-It must resolve inside that directory to a regular SVG file no larger than 64 KiB. The SVG must be
-self-contained: scripts, styles, `foreignObject`, event-handler attributes, JavaScript URLs, and
-external `href` or `xlink:href` references are rejected. Fragment references such as `#mark` are
-allowed. Paseo reads and sanitizes the file when the plugin starts; the string is never an inline
-SVG or URL.
-
-## Usage sources
-
-Register a usage source from `index.server.ts` with `server.registerUsageSource()`. Import `UsageSourceRegistration` and normalization helpers from `@getpaseo/plugin/server/usage`. `input` is a Zod schema checked inside the plugin process before `fetch(input)` runs. `discover()` returns the inputs for accounts found on the host; an empty list omits the source from host usage. `fetch()` returns a report with a stable `account.key` so the daemon can deduplicate accounts and cache by source and input. A failed input or fetch becomes an error report for that source. `icon` uses the same sanitized SVG file rules as provider icons.
-
-The daemon calls discovery for `usage.list_reports`; the client gates this RPC on `server_info.features.usageSources`. The old `provider.usage.list` RPC maps discovered reports for older clients. See the [public usage source reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#usage-sources) for the author contract and minimum version.
-
-## Contribute buttons
-
-Header buttons and composer pills share the client-only descriptor and registration lifecycle in
-`packages/app/src/plugins/buttons/`. The [public button reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#header-buttons)
-owns the author API and placement rules. Keep presentation policy in this module so another
-placement can reuse behavior without copying registration or action state.
-
-Native sheets teleport their children. Button surfaces rebuild the installation's SDK, state,
-query, and toast providers inside the surface content, including overflow pages from different
-plugins. Providers only around the trigger do not reach those bodies.
-
-Request observation with `client.paseo.agents.list({ subscribe: {} })` and consume the returned
-`subscription` handle. Plain `list()` and agent/workspace directory `.subscribe(handler)` listeners create no daemon
-demand. Provider and project `subscribe()` calls establish their own demand. On capable daemons, each
-list-and-subscribe call has its own server ID, even for the same query. Older daemons retain
-[shared delivery behavior](protocol-compatibility.md#owned-observations). Handle snapshots
-also run after reconnect; replace your view before applying its subsequent updates. The installation
-owns every observation created through its API and releases them on unload, including setup failure.
-Mounted surfaces and command invocations have shorter API lifetimes.
-
-Keep the client entry synchronous: return its cleanup function immediately and start asynchronous
-work inside it. See the maintained [composer pill example](../plugin-examples/local-plugin/client/main.tsx).
-
-## Contribute timeline items
-
-Timeline transformers and renderers are client contributions. The daemon's canonical rows and
-built-in projection stay unchanged. The app transforms each source item while building the render
-model, for both fetched history and live events, before native Markdown splitting and Overview
-tool grouping. Assistant callbacks receive the accumulated source text, never display fragments.
-Live assistant messages use `phase: "streaming"`; committing to history makes them `"complete"`.
-Paseo memoizes by source-item reference and phase and derives replacement IDs from source identity, so
-streaming updates preserve mounted component identity.
-
-`query.itemType` selects one public `AgentTimelineItem.type`. The callback owns any detailed
-recognition and returns plain plugin item objects. `undefined` keeps the source item, `items`
-replaces it, and an empty array removes it. Output `data` must be JSON-compatible. Paseo adds the
-runtime plugin ID, preserves the source timeline cursor and identity, validates renderer data with
-its Zod schema, and mounts the component inside the normal plugin runtime and error boundary. An
-optional output `id` distinguishes several stable replacements from the same source item; its output
-index is the default.
-
-Transformers run synchronously and must be deterministic. When several transformers match, the
-first one that returns a result owns that source item. Plugin and registration ordering is stable.
-See `plugin-examples/timeline-items` for the complete contract.
-
-A plugin subprocess can also append a canonical plugin row from a server handler:
-
-```ts
-await paseo.agents.ref(agentId).timeline.append({
-  type: "plugin",
-  id: "review",
-  kind: "review-result",
-  version: 1,
-  data: { status: "ready" },
-});
-```
-
-The daemon stamps the runtime `pluginId`; plugin code never supplies it. Reusing the same `id`
-replaces the previous row from that plugin on live clients and fresh timeline fetches. Rows live in
-the daemon's in-memory timeline and survive scroll, refetch, and reconnect, but not a daemon
-restart. A row without an installed renderer shows an unavailable placeholder. Serialized `data`
-must be at most 64 KiB; the daemon rejects a larger append instead of storing a payload that cannot
-be rendered intact. The daemon advertises this RPC through
-`server_info.features.pluginTimelineItems`.
-
-## Contribute client slash commands
-
-`addSlashCommand` registers an agent- or workspace-context command in the composer. The
-callback runs in the app, receives the trimmed text after the command name as `args`, and receives
-the same `paseo`, `rpc`, `openSurface`, workspace, agent, and `openPanel` capabilities as the matching
-Command Center callback.
-
-```ts
-client.addSlashCommand({
-  name: "review",
-  description: "Run the review bot",
-  argumentHint: "[scope]",
-  context: "agent",
-  async onSubmit({ args, agent, rpc }) {
-    await rpc(startReview, { agentId: agent.id, scope: args });
-  },
-});
-```
-
-Paseo owns the autocomplete row, input clearing, and error toast. It never sends the command text to
-the agent. Built-in client commands win name and alias collisions, plugin commands win
-provider-command collisions, and the first plugin in stable catalog order wins collisions between
-plugins. Plugin slash commands do not run when the composer has attachments.
-
-## Contribute composer attachments
-
-Register a declarative attachment source backed by a plugin RPC. Paseo owns the attachment menu,
-search picker, drafts, selected pill, and submission. The plugin returns complete text snapshots;
-credentials and vendor API calls stay in the daemon handler.
-
-```ts
-// index.server.ts
-import type { PluginServerContext } from "@getpaseo/plugin/server";
-import { search } from "./server/issues";
-import { searchIssues } from "./shared/issues";
-
-export default function contribute(server: PluginServerContext) {
-  server.handle(searchIssues, search);
-  return () => {};
-}
-```
-
-```tsx
-// index.client.tsx
-import type { PluginClientContext } from "@getpaseo/plugin/client";
-import { issues } from "./shared/issues";
-
-export default function contribute(client: PluginClientContext) {
-  client.addAttachmentSource(issues);
-  return () => {};
-}
-```
-
-Attachment sources stay scoped to the composer's host. Unlike sidebar contributions, equal sources
-on several hosts are not coalesced. The selected snapshot submits as a text attachment with neutral
-external-resource presentation, so it remains readable if the plugin is removed or an older peer
-drops the optional presentation fields.
-
-## Contribute settings
-
-Register ordinary components with `client.addSettingsScreen` and open them with `openSettings`.
-The host settings shell owns navigation and layout; plugin content must not add another page
-scroll view or header. See the [author contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#settings-screens)
-and `plugin-examples/settings` for the named UI components and persistence API.
-
-Settings storage is scoped to the runtime installation ID, never the source path or manifest ID.
-Its writer lives with the plugin subprocess, while its directory lives outside managed sources,
-so updates and reloads retain values. Settings-change notifications must not enter the catalog
-reload path: that path disposes the plugin and would destroy open drafts after every save.
-
-`server.registerSettings(definition)` returns a server-side handle. Use `read()` for the current
-`ready` or `invalid` state and `subscribe()` for successful saves, resets, and migrations. The
-subscription cleanup belongs in the plugin's contribution cleanup when it outlives the entry.
-
-## Contribute a theme
-
-`addTheme` takes a small light or dark palette and a display name. Paseo expands it through the
-same semantic builders as the built-in themes, so plugins do not depend on the complete app token
-contract. Unistyles needs every theme name at `StyleSheet.configure` time, so
-`packages/app/src/styles/theme.ts` reserves one light and one dark plugin slot. The appearance
-provider rewrites the matching slot when the selection changes. See [unistyles.md](unistyles.md)
-for the runtime-patching rules the appearance settings share.
-
-`addTheme` is a client registration and belongs in `index.client.tsx`. A client that predates it
-cannot evaluate that entry. Daemons advertise
-`features.pluginThemes` in `server_info`; the plugin theme catalog is the one place the app reads it, and
-a host without it contributes no themes.
-
-The selection persists as `theme: "plugin"` plus a `pluginThemeId` of `<pluginId>/theme/<themeId>`,
-so equal themes on several hosts coalesce the way sidebar contributions do. Two hosts can answer
-that id with different palettes, so picking a theme records its host through
-`rememberPluginContributionHost` and resolution prefers it; a peer connecting or dropping then does
-not repaint the app. Without a preference the sorted registry snapshot decides, so the result is
-stable rather than arrival-ordered. The app resolves that id
-against the installed catalog on every change; an id nothing contributes falls back to the default
-preference instead of painting the reserved slot's placeholder colors.
-
-Existing plugin authors should follow the standalone [v0.8 runtime-entry migration guide](../public-docs/plugins/migration.md).
-
-See `plugin-examples/local-plugin` for a native surface, `plugin-examples/linear` for a complete
-attachment-source example, `plugin-examples/timeline-items` for timeline projection, and
-`plugin-examples/catppuccin` for a theme.

 # Product

-Paseo is an environment for running, monitoring, and interacting with coding agents across desktop, mobile, web, and the command line.
+What Paseo is, who it's for, and where it's going.

-**Paseo has a lean, opinionated core built to be extended.** It should be easy to start using and leave room for people to build far beyond the default experience.
+## What is Paseo

-## Agents are the focus
+Paseo is a next-generation development environment built around agents. One interface to run, monitor, and interact with coding agents across desktop, mobile, terminal, and web.

-The central workflow is giving an agent a task, understanding what it is doing, providing direction, and reviewing the result. Files, terminals, diffs, and other supporting tools help you do that.
+The development workflow is shifting from manually editing files to orchestrating agents that do the editing. Paseo is built for that workflow.

-Paseo should make this workflow coherent across providers and devices. You should be able to use the agent that fits a task and keep working from another device without rebuilding your environment around it.
+## Core philosophy

-This is the basis for product decisions. A familiar feature from another development tool earns its place by improving that experience. Familiarity alone does not make it a requirement for Paseo.
+Freedom and flexibility. Every design decision follows from this:

-## A low floor and a high ceiling
+- **Multi-provider** — Use any coding agent harness. Pick the right model for each job, switch freely as the landscape shifts. No vendor-lock in.
+- **Cross-device** — Desktop, mobile, web, CLI. Start work at your desk, check progress from your phone, script from the terminal.
+- **Self-hosted** — The daemon runs on your machine. Your code, your keys, your environment. No inference markup, no cloud dependency.
+- **Respectful** - No telemetry, no forced cloud, no forced accounts
+- **Open source** — AGPL-3.0. Users can inspect, fork, and contribute.
+- **BYOK** — Bring your own keys. Use your subsidized plans and first-party provider pricing. Paseo adds zero cost on top.

-### Easy to start
+## How it works

-The default experience should be lean, polished, and understandable to someone who has never run a server or configured a VPN.
+### Projects and workspaces

-With a supported coding agent installed and authenticated, you can open the desktop app and start working. The app manages its local daemon. To connect your phone through the optional Paseo relay, enable pairing and scan a QR code. You do not need to configure a VPN or understand the networking behind it.
+Projects are grouped in the sidebar, detected automatically from your filesystem and tagged by git remote when available.

-You should not need to know that plugins exist to get a useful, complete experience. Extra capability should become discoverable when it helps with something you want to do.
+Each project opens as a workspace. For git projects, the default workspace is the main checkout. Users can create additional workspaces, which are isolated copies (git worktrees) where agents work without affecting main.

-Keeping this starting point approachable is an ongoing responsibility. A technically correct feature can still make the product harder to understand through extra choices, controls, or setup.
+### Inside a workspace

-### Room to build your own setup
+A workspace is a flexible canvas:

-The same product should also work for someone running agents on a home server, using their own network, or building an automated workflow.
+- Launch multiple agents side by side in split panes
+- Open terminals alongside agents
+- Mix and match providers within the same workspace

-The daemon can run independently of the desktop app. Clients connect to it locally or remotely, and multiple clients can use the same daemon. This separation lets you choose where the work runs and how you interact with it.
+### The daemon

-For example, someone can use the relay to connect their phone with minimal setup. Someone else can run a daemon on their own infrastructure and connect through SSH or a VPN. Both use the same underlying system.
+Paseo is a client-server system. The daemon (Node.js) runs on your machine, manages agent processes, and streams output in real time over WebSocket. Clients connect to the daemon — locally or remotely.

-Paseo should provide useful defaults while keeping these choices available. You should not have to adopt every part of the system to benefit from the parts you want.
+This architecture means:

-See the [connectivity guide](https://paseo.sh/docs/connectivity) for supported connection methods and [architecture](architecture.md) for the system design.
+- The daemon can run on any machine: laptop, VM, remote server
+- Multiple clients can connect simultaneously
+- Agents keep running when you close the app

-## Freedom, ownership, and privacy
+## Target user

-Paseo's flexibility depends on keeping control with the user:
+Anyone who builds software:

- **Self-hosted:** Run agents on your own machines, with your own environment, files, and credentials.
- **Provider choice:** Use supported agent harnesses and extend provider support through plugins. Your workflow should be able to evolve as your choice of provider changes.
- **Cross-device:** Use desktop, mobile, web, and CLI clients according to the situation.
- **Privacy:** No Paseo telemetry, tracking, or forced account. The relay is optional and end-to-end encrypted.
- **Open source:** Paseo is Apache-2.0 licensed. You can inspect it, modify it, and build on it.
+- Care about owning their tools and their data
+- Use multiple AI providers and want to switch freely
+- Run agents on real tasks across real projects
+- Want to work from multiple devices

-Convenience and ownership should work together. Offering a straightforward way to connect should preserve the option to operate your own setup.
+## What compounds over time

-## A lean core that keeps improving
+- **Trust** — Showing up daily, shipping in public, being open source. Earned slowly, lost quickly.
+- **Community contributions** — Code, packaging, skills, agent configs. Contributors become advocates.
+- **Ecosystem** — Skills, integrations, shared configs. Community-built content that makes the platform more valuable.

-The core provides the shared experience: starting work, interacting with agents, understanding their state, and moving between workspaces and devices.
+## Strategic bets

-Core development continues through improvements to reliability, performance, interaction design, and workflows with broad value. A lean core takes ongoing work.
+1. **Models commoditize.** Value moves to the orchestration layer. The best model changes monthly — the workflow layer stays.
+2. **Multi-provider wins.** No single provider stays on top. Developers want the best model for each task.
+3. **The daemon as infrastructure.** Server/client architecture enables deployment anywhere.
+4. **Open source outlasts funding.** Open source communities are resilient. Contributors become advocates.

-Every addition also has a lasting cost. It needs a place in the interface, an understandable relationship with existing behavior, testing across affected platforms, and maintenance as the rest of the product changes. A feature can work exactly as intended and still be the wrong addition.
+## Current state (May 2026)

-The preference is for a small number of well-shaped capabilities that work together. Before adding a specialized workflow, consider whether an existing capability can serve it or whether a reusable extension point would let people build it themselves.
-
-The boundary can evolve. Some built-in capabilities may eventually make more sense as plugins. Any such move needs to preserve a coherent default experience and account for people who already depend on it.
-
-## Extensibility and composition
-
-Plugins are a central part of how Paseo gains capability.
-
-Someone who needs a different agent provider, a specialized workspace panel, or a custom command should be able to build and share it independently. They can make the choices that fit their users and maintain the integration on their own schedule.

-Paseo's role is to provide interfaces that make those contributions possible across the daemon and connected clients. The [plugin documentation](https://paseo.sh/docs/plugins) describes what each released API supports.
-
-The [SDK](https://paseo.sh/docs/sdk) lets applications and services use the daemon directly. A separate dashboard, automation service, or client can build on the same agent infrastructure. Those projects do not all need to become features of the main app.
-
-Composition means useful pieces can be combined in ways the maintainer did not have to predict. Keeping the daemon independent, offering multiple connection methods, and exposing agent operations through APIs gives people room to choose those combinations.
-
-The extension interfaces need the same care as the core experience. They should be understandable, reusable, and maintainable. New extension points should follow concrete workflows that need them.
-
-## How Paseo develops
-
-Product, design, architecture, and workflow decisions remain with the maintainer.
-
-Those decisions draw on the history of the product: why a workflow has its current shape, what previous approaches taught us, how it interacts with the rest of the system, and where it is intended to go. Documentation shares that context, but familiarity also develops through sustained use and maintenance.
-
-Development starts with the smallest useful change that can make a substantial difference. After shipping it, leave room to learn:
-
- Can people discover and understand it?
- Does it work well in their actual workflows?
- What friction or missing capability appears with repeated use?
- Does the next addition improve the shared experience or belong in a plugin?
-
-That feedback guides the next step. Expanding a workflow too far before people use it creates commitments that are difficult to reverse. Users build habits and integrations around what ships, so removing features or changing interfaces has a real cost.
-
-Writing an implementation is one part of this process. Product judgment, design, QA, review, and learning from use determine how quickly a change can responsibly become part of Paseo.
-
-## An ecosystem people can build on
-
-People contribute through reproducible bug reports, testing, workflow discussions, documentation, plugins, integrations, and helping each other.
-
-A plugin can solve a problem for its users without adding that workflow to everyone's default experience. An alternative client can explore a different interface while using the same daemon. These projects let people take ownership of the experience they want.
-
-The aim is an ecosystem that can develop independently of the maintainer's ability to review core changes. Its value comes from useful things people build, maintain, and share.
-
-Paseo is an independent project. Sustainable development, a coherent product, and the freedom to keep building are priorities. See [Contributing](../CONTRIBUTING.md) for how to participate.

-# Protocol Compatibility
-
-The app and the daemon are separate products that ship separately. A user updates the app from an app store or a desktop auto-update; they update the daemon when they feel like it. Every combination happens in the wild: new app against an old daemon, old app against a new daemon, and both sides months apart.
-
-In development both sides are always the same version, which is why this is the constraint contributors miss most often.
-
-Two contracts follow from it.
-
-## The protocol contract: always compatible
-
-A schema change must not break parsing in either direction. An old app still parses messages from a new daemon. A new daemon still parses messages from an old app.
-
-`hello` carries an optional credential. The daemon accepts a client protocol version from its minimum through newer client versions, selects the lower of client and daemon maximum, and reports it as optional `server_info.protocolVersion`. A `hello.rejected` frame precedes an auth close only when the client sent `hello.auth` or advertised `hello_rejection`; older clients receive the existing WebSocket close code and reason. This avoids sending them a new top-level message their validator does not recognize.
-
- New fields are `.optional()` with a sensible default.
- Never flip optional to required, remove a field, or narrow a type. `string` to `enum` and nullable to non-null are both narrowing.
- A field you stop sending stays accepted. You stop writing it, you don't stop reading it.
- Wire schemas are pure structural declarations. No `.transform()`, `.catch()`, or `.preprocess()` on WebSocket message schemas — normalization happens in an explicit pass after validation. The reason is in [protocol-validation.md](protocol-validation.md): inbound validators are generated, and the generator only compiles pure schemas.
- Plain `z.union()` is forbidden when every branch shares a literal tag. Use `z.discriminatedUnion()`.
- `.default()` belongs on primitive leaves only, never on item schemas inside large arrays or big inbound containers.
-
-Two questions to ask before you commit a schema change:
-
-1. Does a six-month-old app still parse this message?
-2. Does a six-month-old daemon still send something this app accepts?
-
-If you can't answer both with yes, the change isn't done.
-
-Schemas live in `packages/protocol/src/messages.ts`. New RPC names follow [rpc-namespacing.md](rpc-namespacing.md).
-
-## The feature contract: per feature, gated once
-
-Features don't have to work across versions. A new feature usually needs a new daemon capability, and old daemons don't have it.
-
-The app checks for the capability and either runs the feature or tells the user to update the host.
-
- **No fallback paths.** Don't build a degraded version of the feature for old daemons. Don't fan out across legacy RPCs to simulate a capability that isn't there. The user updates or doesn't get the feature.
- **No defensive branches spread through the feature.** Detection happens in one place, and everything downstream reads a clean shape.
- Capability flags live in `features` on the `server_info` message (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts`, the `server_info` schema).
-
-Existing functionality keeps working across versions because of the protocol contract. Gating a new feature never substitutes for that.
-
-## Client capability ownership
-
-The client package advertises the protocol behavior it implements. Add each new capability to
-its exhaustive defaults and implement the associated subscription or decoding behavior there.
-The app, CLI, and plugins inherit those defaults; they supply only host resources such as browser
-automation, or explicit overrides. A schema accepting a message does not establish support for
-its delivery semantics.
-
-On capable daemons, connecting creates no timeline or event demand. Client subscriptions own their network membership,
-release it on unsubscribe, and restore it after reconnect. Raw message observers inspect traffic
-without requesting streams. Application caches and which agents are visible remain caller-owned.
-
-## Owned observations
-
-`owned_subscriptions` and `server_info.features.ownedSubscriptions` negotiate the source-owned
-contract described in [architecture](architecture.md#websocket-protocol). The client selects delivery
-behavior once at its connection boundary. App workflows use the same observation interface on both.
-
-With an older daemon, the client uses the existing connection and legacy RPCs. Directory subscriptions
-remain shared and last-query-wins. Local handle IDs identify listeners; they do not promise independent
-server filters. Timeline and event membership retain their existing shared behavior. Releasing a handle
-detaches its listener and uses the old unsubscribe operation where one exists. Broadcast-only hosts keep
-broadcasting; readiness there means local attachment, not a daemon acknowledgement. No extra sockets
-or multiplexing emulation are introduced.
-
-Preserve established workflows when changing delivery internals. Independent filters and quiet
-connections require a capable daemon; opening the app, reading history and using terminals do not.
-Pre-registry workspace grouping and legacy event normalization belong inside the client boundary.
-
-Old clients keep their existing wire shapes and slot behavior at the daemon's source boundary.
-The adapter keys legacy slots by physical socket, so an old connection cannot replace a modern
-sibling's observation even when both use the same logical client ID. Optional wire IDs stay accepted
-for parsing compatibility; modern requests cannot select their subscription ID.
-
-## Every shim is tagged and dated
-
-A shim that exists for old-app or old-daemon support carries a comment naming it, the version it arrived in, and when it can go:
-
-```ts
-// COMPAT(workspaceFileEditing): added in v0.2.0, remove after 2027-01-18 once daemon floor >= v0.2.0.
-```
-
-`rg "COMPAT\("` is the full cleanup backlog, so:
-
- One tag per shim, at the site that has to be deleted.
- Give it a name, a version, and a removal condition or date. Six months out is the usual default.
- Never bury compatibility in an untagged `??` fallback or an optional-chain tunnel. Untagged back-compat never gets removed, because nobody can find it.
-
-When a tag's condition is met, delete the shim and the tag in the same change.
-
-## QA
-
-Tests don't fully cover compatibility. If you touched `packages/protocol`, say in the pull request why an older app still parses your message and why an older daemon still satisfies your app. See [qa.md](qa.md).

 This guide walks through adding a new agent provider end-to-end. There are two integration patterns, and this doc covers both.

-## Provider-native session options
-
-`AgentSessionConfig.providerOptions` carries JSON-safe configuration for the selected provider. The
-names and nesting are the provider's native contract; options are not portable between providers.
-Paseo validates the object with the selected provider's strict schema before constructing a session.
-Unknown keys fail with their `providerOptions.*` path. Paseo-owned controls such as cwd, model,
-prompt, environment, session identity, MCP transport, callbacks, and hooks are not accepted as
-top-level provider options.
-
-This Paseo version accepts these keys:
-
- **Codex:** `approval_policy`, `sandbox_mode`,
-  `sandbox_workspace_write.{writable_roots,network_access,exclude_slash_tmp,exclude_tmpdir_env_var}`,
-  `web_search`, `features.multi_agent_v2`, and `features.network_proxy`. A network proxy object may
-  contain `enabled`, `proxy_url`, `socks_url`, `enable_socks5`, `enable_socks5_udp`,
-  `allow_local_binding`, `allow_upstream_proxy`, `dangerously_allow_all_unix_sockets`,
-  `dangerously_allow_non_loopback_proxy`, `domains`, and `unix_sockets`. See the
-  [Codex configuration reference](https://developers.openai.com/codex/config-reference).
- **Claude:** `allowedTools`, `disallowedTools`, `additionalDirectories`, `extraArgs`, `sandbox`, and
-  `settings`. `providerOptions.extraArgs` passes the SDK's documented
-  [`Options.extraArgs`](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/typescript#options) map
-  unchanged: keys omit the leading `--`, string values supply an argument value, and `null`
-  supplies a boolean flag. For example, `providerOptions: { extraArgs: { chrome: null } }`
-  passes `--chrome`, and `providerOptions: { extraArgs: { model: "x" } }` passes `--model x`.
-  Set it in session configuration or a plugin's `server.before("agent.create", ...)` hook; see
-  [plugin configuration hooks](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#change-configuration-and-inject-an-mcp-server). Values are literal;
-  shell expressions such as `$(command)` are not evaluated. The accepted sandbox
-  fields cover enablement, fail-if-unavailable behavior, excluded and unsandboxed commands,
-  filesystem read/write rules, network domain/socket/local-binding rules, weaker nested
-  sandboxing, ignored violations, and the ripgrep command. `settings` accepts native
-  `permissions.{allow,ask,deny}` and sandbox settings. See the
-  [Claude Agent SDK TypeScript reference](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/typescript)
-  and [Claude settings reference](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings).
- **OpenCode:** `permission`, either one `ask`/`allow`/`deny` action or the native per-tool rule
-  object. Supported entries are `read`, `edit`, `glob`, `grep`, `list`, `bash`, `task`,
-  `external_directory`, `todowrite`, `question`, `webfetch`, `websearch`, `codesearch`,
-  `repo_clone`, `repo_overview`, `lsp`, `doom_loop`, and `skill`. See the
-  [OpenCode permissions reference](https://opencode.ai/docs/permissions/). OpenCode permissions are
-  application policy, not an OS sandbox.

-must fail closed for Hub unattended execution until it can approve one exact injected MCP server
-and tool identity without approving native tools.

 ## Two Integration Patterns

 ### ACP (Agent Client Protocol) -- recommended
@@ -56,72 +12,37 @@ The only built-in ACP provider today is `copilot` (`copilot-acp-agent.ts`). `Gen

 Copilot custom agents are exposed through ACP session config, not the slash-command list. When custom agents are available, Copilot returns a select config option with `id: "agent"` and `category: "_agent"`; Paseo maps that to the `agent` provider feature. Copilot uses the agent display name as the option value, and the blank value means the default Copilot agent.

-ACP permission options are rendered as ordered actions and Paseo returns the selected option's exact `optionId`. Agents can therefore encode a single-choice question as multiple options of the same allow kind. Auto-accept does not resolve those chooser requests; they always wait for the user.
-
-ACP shims can own model discovery through `catalogModelResolver`; the shared client owns the probe
-process and refresh deadline. Keep vendor RPCs in the shim. Cursor uses
-`cursor/list_available_models` because switching models during discovery writes its saved CLI
-preferences and selection history. Cursor versions without that extension must be updated. Kimi
-still probes model selections in its own shim. The initial session supplies modes and the current
-model; it does not override the model list returned by a resolver.
-
 ### Direct

 Implement the `AgentClient` and `AgentSession` interfaces from `agent-sdk-types.ts` yourself. This gives full control but requires you to handle process management, streaming, permissions, and session persistence from scratch.

-Existing direct providers: `claude` (in `providers/claude/agent.ts`), `codex` (`codex-app-server-agent.ts`), `opencode` (`opencode/runtime-client.ts`), `pi` (`providers/pi/agent.ts`), and `omp` (`providers/omp/agent.ts`). The dev-only `mock` provider (`mock-load-test-agent.ts`) is also direct.
+Existing direct providers: `claude` (in `providers/claude/agent.ts`), `codex` (`codex-app-server-agent.ts`), `opencode` (`opencode-agent.ts`), `pi` (`providers/pi/agent.ts`), and `omp` (a Pi-compatible built-in backed by the Pi adapter). The dev-only `mock` provider (`mock-load-test-agent.ts`) is also direct.

 Claude first-party model metadata lives in `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/claude/model-manifest.ts`. When adding or updating a Claude model, update that manifest only; the model picker thinking options and Claude-specific feature gates are derived from the manifest. Do not add model-specific Claude capability lists in feature code.

-Paseo tools are not implemented as MCP tools internally. They live in a shared tool catalog under `packages/server/src/server/agent/tools/`; MCP is only the fallback adapter. The daemon resolves `agents.providers.<provider>.paseoTools` by the exact provider ID. The catalog policy belongs to the caller: it filters the tools exposed to the current agent. When that agent calls `create_agent`, the child receives the policy for the child provider ID; the caller's policy is not inherited.
-
-A provider that can register runtime tools directly should set `supportsNativePaseoTools: true` and consume the already-filtered `launchContext.paseoTools` in `createSession`/`resumeSession`. When native tools are present, `AgentManager` strips the internal Paseo MCP server from the provider launch config so the provider does not receive the same tools twice. Providers that only know MCP should keep `supportsMcpServers: true` and let the daemon inject `/mcp/agents`; the MCP server builds the same policy-filtered catalog for that caller. Filtering is enforced at catalog registration in both paths. Browser tools remain subject to the daemon browser-tools setting and browser-host availability.

Providers that only know MCP should keep `supportsMcpServers: true` and let the daemon inject `/mcp/agents`.

 Pi is a process-backed provider. Paseo requires the user to have the `pi` binary installed and talks to it through `pi --mode rpc`; the server package does not embed Pi's SDK/runtime packages.

-Pi extension adapters live under `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/pi/extensions/<extension>/`. Each adapter turns Pi RPC facts into Paseo tool, timeline, subagent, or question mappings through the [extension contract](../packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/pi/extensions/contract.ts). To add one, create its directory, add one entry to `extensions/registry.ts`, and test it with fixtures captured from the real extension in Pi that record package, version, source commit, Pi version, and capture date. `agent.ts`, `history-mapper.ts`, and `tool-call-mapper.ts` never name an extension.
+Paseo's per-agent and daemon-wide system prompts are passed to Pi with `--append-system-prompt`, so Pi keeps its default coding prompt while receiving Paseo's additional instructions.

-Paseo's per-agent and daemon-wide system prompts are appended by its generated Pi integration extension. Paseo deliberately does not pass `--append-system-prompt`, because that flag replaces Pi's automatic `APPEND_SYSTEM.md` discovery instead of composing with it.
-
-Pi model records expose input capabilities through `model.input`. Only send raw RPC `images` when the current model explicitly includes `"image"` in that list. Text-only Pi/OMP models reject image content and persist the rejected image in JSONL history, so image prompts for those models must be materialized to a local file and passed as a text path hint instead.
-
-Pi MCP support depends on the open-source `pi-mcp-adapter` extension being loaded for the agent cwd. Probe with Pi RPC `get_commands`; the adapter registers an extension command named `mcp` (often with `sourceInfo.source` containing `pi-mcp-adapter`). When Paseo injects MCP servers into Pi, write a per-agent MCP config and pass it with `--mcp-config` instead of modifying user or project MCP files. Because that flag replaces the Pi global config layer, preserve the existing `<Pi agent dir>/mcp.json` in the generated file before overlaying injected servers. For local HTTP servers such as Paseo's own `/mcp/agents` endpoint, explicitly disable adapter OAuth (`auth: false`, `oauth: false`) in the generated config.
-
-Pi control-plane RPCs wait 60 seconds by default. Override `params.rpcTimeoutMs` when extension or MCP startup on a slow host needs more time. Timeout errors name the pending RPC phase and report both elapsed time and the configured deadline. This setting does not govern long-running Pi compaction or Pi extension UI results. See [OMP profiles and Pi-compatible forks](custom-providers.md#omp-profiles-and-pi-compatible-forks) for OMP startup and RPC deadlines.

For local HTTP servers such as Paseo's own `/mcp/agents` endpoint, explicitly disable adapter OAuth (`auth: false`, `oauth: false`) in the generated config.

 Pi import discovery reads Pi's persisted JSONL session files because Pi RPC does not expose a recent-session listing command. Resume and full history hydration still go through `pi --mode rpc` using the session file as `nativeHandle`.

-OMP is a first-class built-in provider, disabled by default. Its launch contract, typed runtime, agent/session behavior, history, permissions, imports, and test fake live under `providers/omp/`; only the provider-neutral JSONL child-process transport is shared with Pi. It launches `omp --mode rpc-ui`, uses OMP's `get_available_commands` RPC for slash-command discovery, bridges OMP `rpc-ui` approval dialogs into Paseo permissions, and imports terminal-started sessions from `~/.omp/agent/sessions` when enabled.
+OMP is a built-in Pi-compatible provider, disabled by default. It uses the `omp` command and imports terminal-started sessions from `~/.omp/agent/sessions` when enabled. Other Pi-compatible forks can still be custom providers that extend `pi`, override `command`, and set `params.sessionDir` to their JSONL session directory.

-OMP supports native Paseo host tools. The adapter registers the full caller-scoped Paseo tool catalog directly with OMP, matching providers such as Claude that expose the full catalog through MCP. Serialize every OMP host definition with `loadMode: "essential"` so `create_agent`, `send_agent_prompt`, `wait_for_agent`, and related tools remain direct calls; omitting the field makes OMP mount non-built-in names under `xd://` instead. OMP's provider-managed task subagents are surfaced as Paseo subagents through `child_session` imports; the parent keeps the subagents track while the child runtime stays owned by OMP. Custom OMP profiles should extend `omp`; other Pi-compatible forks can still extend `pi`, override `command`, and set `params.sessionDir` to their JSONL session directory.
+Pi and OMP currently use different RPC names for slash-command discovery. The Pi package accepts `get_commands`; OMP accepts `get_available_commands`. Keep this as an explicit adapter setting for the built-in provider instead of probing with a fallback, because both packages return unknown-command errors without the request `id`, which otherwise turns a fast mismatch into the normal RPC timeout.

 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 binaries older than the tested 2.0.10 SDK at runtime selection. Runtime selection uses the configured command and environment. A recognized version is cached until provider configuration reload; a failed, timed-out, or unrecognized probe retains the v1 path and retries detection on the next operation. Load v2 code and materialize its plugin only after positive v2 selection; v1 sessions remain undecorated. Keep upstream SDK types inside the version-specific adapter. OpenCode owns storage migration; a missing native session must fail resume rather than create a replacement. V2 has no native archive/unarchive operation: archiving affects Paseo only. V1 retains native archiving.
-
-V2.0.4 also removed the activation endpoint that gated a cold location, and a cold location registers its config-derived commands, skills, and providers asynchronously. Wait until `plugin.list` returns a populated inventory before reading the catalog or commands; an empty inventory means the location is still warming. Fail when the readiness deadline expires, including when an inventory request stalls.
-
-Paseo installs its OpenCode tool bridge through `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT`. V1 accepts a plugin file; v2 silently skips configured files and requires a package directory with a server entry point. Both versions use the daemon's private loopback bridge for caller-scoped tools. Bridge context lives only in daemon memory and is removed when the Paseo session closes. The content-addressed plugin artifacts contain no session data or secrets. V2 also needs this plugin when native Paseo tools are disabled: its prompt API has no structured-output format, so the plugin supplies a schema-validated final-answer tool.
-
-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.
+OpenCode MCP injection is dynamic and session-scoped. Call OpenCode's `mcp.add` endpoint with the MCP server config and do not follow it with `mcp.connect`; `connect` only toggles MCP servers already present in OpenCode's own config. New OpenCode versions return `McpServerNotFoundError`/404 for `connect` after a dynamic add because the server is not config-backed, while older versions silently swallowed the same missing-config path.

 OpenCode owns user message IDs. Do not pass Paseo-generated IDs to OpenCode prompt APIs; let OpenCode create `msg*` IDs and record the user timeline item from the `message.updated` event.

-`AgentManager` owns the one canonical timeline row for a foreground prompt carrying a Paseo `clientMessageId`. It records that row when `startTurn` accepts, with the wire `messageId` set to the same value. Provider adapters still emit their native user-message echo with the same `clientMessageId` when available; the manager records its provider identity on the internal row without changing or redispatching the wire item. If an adapter emits the echo before `startTurn` resolves, the manager records the provider identity with the row at acceptance. Provider adapters continue to own externally initiated user rows that have no Paseo client identity. Do not perform global transcript text dedupe.
+Every provider adapter owns its canonical user-message timeline rows. When a foreground prompt is accepted, the adapter must emit exactly one `user_message` timeline item for that submitted prompt, using the same message ID it gives to or receives from the provider runtime. Optimistic client messages are UI-only and provider transcript echoes are optional; neither is allowed to be the only source of truth. If the provider later echoes the same submitted user message, dedupe it only within the active turn. Prefer provider-visible message IDs, but ACP runtimes may omit that ID or replace it with a provider-owned one; in that case suppress only echo chunks whose accumulated text is a prefix of the active submitted prompt. Do not perform global transcript text dedupe.

-Active-turn steering is an optional `AgentSession.steerActiveTurn` operation. The manager owns admission against its exact foreground turn, canonical user-message creation, echo reconciliation, and falls back to the normal interrupt-and-replace path only when the adapter reports `unavailable`. An adapter error leaves the steer's fate ambiguous and must surface without an interrupt or retry. Codex calls `turn/steer` with the native expected turn and Paseo client user-message ID. Claude pushes an admitted steer into the exact active SDK query input; isolated control commands remain unavailable. OpenCode calls `session/prompt_async` with an OpenCode-generated message ID; the server queues the prompt while busy and the next LLM call in the same Paseo turn includes it. Pi sends its native `steer` RPC, which queues the message for delivery after the in-flight assistant turn's tool calls. Slash-command inputs report `unavailable` because pi rejects extension commands on the steer path, and echo identity is correlated by message text because pi's steer RPC takes no message ID. A missing session reports `unavailable` and uses the normal interrupt fallback.
-
-A steering adapter also owes its interrupt: stopping a turn must discard the steers the provider has not read yet, or one of them resumes the turn the user just stopped. Codex clears pending input when it aborts a turn; Claude does not, so its adapter cancels the SDK messages it queued before calling `query.interrupt()`. Pi requires `clear_queue` before `abort`; older binaries without that RPC retain their native queue behavior until the pi compatibility floor reaches 0.84.4.
-
-`SteerActiveTurnOptions.clearPendingPermissions` makes permission release part of the provider contract. A provider that accepts such a steer queues it first, denies permissions blocking its delivery, and stops once the steer is read. Steers without the flag leave permissions open. A denied plan remains in the timeline because the pending card was the only other copy of its text.
-
-Rewind accepts the canonical wire `messageId` and resolves it to the provider identity before calling the adapter. A submitted prompt cannot be rewound until its provider echo supplies that identity.
-
-Submitted user-message wire items carry the same Paseo ID in `messageId` and `clientMessageId`. Provider adapters attach `clientMessageId` only to the echo for that foreground submission; provider history and externally initiated user rows do not have a Paseo client ID.
-
-Provider adapters must terminalize every transient timeline row before emitting the turn's terminal event. Codex may omit the completed `contextCompaction` item when a turn ends during compaction, so its adapter closes any pending root compaction before forwarding `turn_completed`, `turn_failed`, or `turn_canceled`. A terminal turn must never leave the client showing an operation as still loading.
-
-Draft metadata lookups should avoid creating provider sessions when the upstream provider has top-level APIs for that metadata. Prefer `AgentClient.fetchCatalog`, `listCommands`, or `listFeatures` over creating a scratch `AgentSession`; scratch sessions can show up as empty native sessions in provider import/history UIs. `fetchCatalog` is the single discovery API for models and modes — provider implementations may use one process, separate upstream calls, or static data internally, but callers outside the provider do not get separate runtime model/mode probes. Draft command listing and scratch-session feature listing require an explicit draft model. Do not resolve a default model through catalog discovery. A client-level `listFeatures` implementation may return features from an incomplete, model-less draft and owns which features are valid in that state.

 Provider session import has its own contract. The picker calls `listImportableSessions` and receives rows only: provider handle, cwd, title, prompt previews, and last activity. Import calls `importSession({ providerHandleId, cwd })` for the selected row and must not call listing again.

 ## Provider Snapshot Refresh Contract

-Provider snapshots are views of the catalogues needed for a target. Before looking up cached
-results or discovery in flight, the manager calls optional `AgentClient.getCatalogCacheKey(options)`.
-The provider owns equivalence: equal keys must mean the same availability, models and modes,
-including the effective configuration and execution environment. `force` does not change identity.
-Omitting the method or returning `undefined` keeps target-specific caching. Codex and Claude's
-current host clients share across directories; configured provider identities remain isolated.
+The daemon keeps provider snapshots per resolved working directory, with a separate semantic global scope for settings/provider management and requests that do not carry a cwd. Provider catalog probes receive a discriminated `FetchCatalogOptions`: `{ scope: "global", force }` for global catalog refreshes, or `{ scope: "workspace", cwd, force }` for project-scoped refreshes. Providers decide what global means for their runtime; do not infer global by comparing a cwd to the user's home directory.

-The key chooses storage, never execution. Availability and catalogue discovery receive the actual
-`{ scope: "global", force }` or `{ scope: "workspace", cwd, force }` request, including when another
-target can share its result. Runtime-aware adapters must use that target for both probing and key
-resolution. An explicit home-directory workspace is distinct from a semantic global request.
-Plugin callbacks follow the same contract; see [plugin providers](plugins.md#contribute-a-provider).
+Snapshot reads may probe providers only while the requested cwd scope is cold. Once an entry is warm, its `ready`, `error`, or `unavailable` state stays cached until an explicit refresh. Do not add TTL revalidation, focus-triggered refreshes, selector-open refreshes, or config-reload refreshes. Selector-open refetches may read an already-loading or stale React Query, but they must not force provider probing on their own.

-`ProviderSnapshotManager` owns one refresh deadline per provider. The deadline starts before the
-availability check and covers that check plus the complete catalog probe. Providers that make
-multiple catalog requests must not apply this deadline separately to each request. The manager
-aborts the shared refresh signal at the deadline. Providers name active catalog operations and
-finish subprocess, server, or session cleanup before rejecting. Timeout errors list the operations
-that were still active when the deadline expired.
+Settings refresh is the user-facing "forget stale provider knowledge everywhere" action. A settings refresh clears provider snapshot caches and in-flight loads across all cwd scopes, then immediately refreshes only the global snapshot with `force: true`. Workspace snapshots are re-probed lazily on the next scoped read; do not fan out a settings refresh across every known workspace.

-Catalogue results stay cached by identity until explicit refresh or a change to that provider's configuration.
-Keys are resolved on each read so project configuration can select a different cached catalogue.
-Selector opening may read a loading or stale query, but does not force provider probing.
+Registry/config replacement may update visible metadata such as label, description, default mode, enabled state, and provider membership, but it must not spawn provider processes. If a provider needs to be re-probed after a config change, route that through the explicit settings refresh path.

-Saved provider/model choices are user intent. Catalogue failure must not erase them or substitute
-another model. Creation reads the caller's host and directory directly; an earlier global snapshot
-must not settle a project form's initial selection.
-
-The server's provider keys never cross the wire. Clients advertising `provider_snapshot_references`
-receive directory-to-hash announcements; an unknown hash uses the existing snapshot request.
-The manager detaches each fresh result once and publishes its content identity with the entry;
-readers share these values read-only. Each target keeps its published snapshot until membership,
-content or discovery freshness changes. All affected targets commit before subscribers run;
-subscriber failures are logged without changing discovery or configuration outcomes.
-The session compares both sides of a committed transition under the client's current visibility
-policy and sends only visible changes. It combines result identities with the client's encoding
-and icon policy, without traversing models. Reference hashes exclude freshness;
-legacy embedded hashes include it. Only responses that send a body compact the catalogue.
-Per-provider `fetchedAt` travels separately for reference clients and still means when discovery succeeded. `generatedAt`
-remains the time the response or announcement was generated. Refresh keeps settled entries visible
-until the next result, so unchanged discovery sends freshness without another model body.
-
-The app's snapshot cache owns compact expansion and stores one body per server/hash, with separate
-directory/hash/freshness records under the same byte budget. Missing bodies share a React Query
-request; directory queries cancel superseded pulls before accepting pushes. Default SDK clients
-keep expanded entries and full updates. Only callers that own materialization opt into wire snapshots.
-Keep the full encoding for older clients; compact-snapshot support alone does not imply reference support.
-
-Settings refresh invalidates requested providers across known targets and refreshes them in their
-actual execution context, so every connected client receives the refreshed view. Discovery shares
-work by provider key and admits at most four concurrent catalogue probes per configured provider, so a stalled provider does not block discovery for others. Configuration replacement invalidates
-only changed providers; unchanged entries, clients, and discovery in flight survive. Preparation
-leaves installed reads untouched until commit. Plugin replacement uses registration runtime
-identity, so unchanged registrations and builtins keep their results. Await the refresh or warmup
-promise for completion: equal results, including equal discovery timestamps, emit no transition.
+Boundary tests should assert observable behavior: cold reads may call provider availability/model/mode discovery for that scope; warm reads and registry replacement must not; explicit workspace refreshes affect only one cwd; settings refresh wipes all scopes but immediately refreshes only global.

-## Usage sources
+## Provider Usage Fetchers

-Usage is fetched on demand from plugin usage sources. Each source registers through `server.registerUsageSource()` with an input schema, `fetch(input)`, and optional `discover()`. The daemon discovers configured accounts, validates inputs in the plugin runtime, caches each source/input result for five minutes, and returns `usage.list_reports.response`. A source report has an account key, availability status, plan label, windows, balances, and details. Mark the window the app should show first with `headline: true`.
+Provider plan usage is fetch-on-demand, not a daemon push subscription. The app calls `provider.usage.list.request` through React Query when the usage tooltip or Host Usage settings screen is shown, and the daemon returns the normalized `ProviderUsage` list directly.

-Create a built-in source under `plugins/<name>-usage-source/` with the same manifest, entry, `server/`, `shared/`, and `icon.svg` layout as an external plugin. Add its ID to `builtinPlugins` in `packages/server/src/server/plugins/builtin/index.ts`. Keep credential discovery, API parsing, and normalization inside the source; use helpers from `@getpaseo/plugin/server/usage`. The wire shape remains source agnostic. See [plugin usage sources](plugins.md#usage-sources).
+To add plan usage for a provider, add `packages/server/src/services/quota-fetcher/providers/<provider>.ts` and register it in `packages/server/src/services/quota-fetcher/manifest.ts`. The provider file exports only its fetcher class; provider auth, endpoint constants, API schemas, and normalization helpers stay private in that file. A fetcher owns provider auth/API parsing and returns the generic shape:

-`provider.usage.list` remains a compatibility RPC for older apps. It maps discovered reports to `ProviderUsage`. New clients use `usage.list_reports` after checking `server_info.features.usageSources`.
+- `providerId`, `displayName`, `status`, and optional `planLabel`
+- any number of `windows` such as Session, Weekly, or Biweekly
+- optional `balances` for credits, USD, requests, or tokens
+- optional `details` for provider-specific rows

-### Credentials are read only
+Keep the protocol shape provider-agnostic. Do not add provider-specific renderers for new limit windows; labels and generic bars should carry the UI. API responses should be parsed and normalized with Zod inside the fetcher, while the protocol boundary stays strict so old/new client compatibility is explicit.

-A source reads provider credentials without writing them. On 401 or 403 it returns `unavailable` and leaves refresh to the provider CLI. Redeeming a refresh token here would invalidate the CLI's copy; rewriting a parsed credential file could drop fields the source does not model.
+Kimi Code usage follows the CLI-managed credential file at `KIMI_CODE_HOME` or `~/.kimi-code/credentials/kimi-code.json`; do not probe the legacy `~/.kimi` path as the primary source for current Kimi Code installs.

-**Session-scoped cancellation needs a stop boundary inside the provider.** Some agents cancel the whole session rather than one turn — OpenCode's `session.abort` is the example. A cancel that is still in flight when the next run starts will kill that replacement run, which is what makes "stop, then immediately prompt again" (`replaceRunning`, `notifyOnFinish` wakes, schedules) flaky. Own this in the provider session, not in `AgentManager`:
-
- Model the stop as an explicit `stopping` turn-state variant carrying the canceled run's terminal and the cancellation the caller is still owed. Pressing Stop again retries the stop already in progress rather than opening a second one; never fire a detached retry, it will outlive its boundary.
- **Scope the cancel settlement the way the provider scopes the cancel.** If cancellation is session-scoped, so is its settlement: track it on the session, accumulating every request issued, and let it outlive the stop that issued it. A request still in flight lands on the runner whenever the server gets to it — however many stops have come and gone since. Scoping it to the current stop looks right and quietly drops older requests from the gate. Only the newest may hold the gate closed, since recovering from a failed cancel is what pressing Stop again is for.
- Gate the operations **the daemon issues** (prompt, slash command, summarize) on both the terminal and cancel settlement. Permission and question responses are not runner operations and must stay outside the gate, or an auto-approve deadlocks the stop. Runs the _provider_ starts on its own — plugin or autonomous wakes — are observed, not gated: the daemon does not choose when they begin, and holding their events back does not protect them from a cancel already in flight, it only hides a run that may already be dead.
- Fail closed: if the cancel never succeeded you never proved the run stopped, so refuse new runs until the next Stop issues a fresh cancel. `AgentManager` already turns a rejected `interrupt()` into a refused cancel.
- Suppress the canceled run's residue only until its authoritative terminal. Anything the provider publishes after that terminal is a new run by construction and must take the normal live path — buffering it and replaying it later is how autonomous/plugin wakes get lost.

-# QA
-
-QA is the main bottleneck of Paseo's product development.
-
-The bar is four questions:
-
-1. Does it work well?
-2. Does it regress anything else?
-3. Was it tested on every platform it affects?
-4. Is there automated coverage, and is that coverage real?
-
-Every pull request needs evidence for the questions its change touches. Pull requests without evidence get closed.
-
-For plugin changes, verify the [SDK import boundaries](plugins.md#sdk-import-boundaries) before
-exercising contributions. Include the boundary tests and both runtime loaders in the evidence.
-
-## Evidence
-
-Evidence is something someone else can look at:
-
- The commands you ran, pasted with their output
- The tests you added and their results
- Before and after screenshots
- A video of the interaction
- Logs, requests, responses
-
-Redact what you need to, keep the technical details. If an agent did the work, submit its raw output. A summary drops the details someone else needs to check it.
-
-## Does it work well
-
-A feature that works but stutters, shifts the layout, or misaligns by two pixels is not done.
-
-For UI, that means matching the design system in visuals, in interaction, and in performance. [design.md](design.md) is the reference.
-
-The two things that go wrong most often:
-
- **Layout shift.** Content that jumps as data arrives, a row that resizes when a badge appears, a panel that reflows on first render. Watch the change on a slow connection and on first load, not just after everything is warm.
- **Alignment.** Things align to their glyphs, not to their touch targets. See the alignment rules in [design.md](design.md).
-
-## Does it regress anything else
-
-Paseo is composable by design, which means your change sits next to features you didn't touch. Open the surfaces around it. A change to the agent list affects archive, subagents, and tabs; a change to git actions affects worktrees and the checkout flow.
-
-Performance is part of this. The app is Expo React Native, not a web app in a native shell. You are not writing CSS, styles resolve differently, and performance characteristics differ per platform. What feels instant in a desktop dev build can be visibly slow on a phone.
-
-If your change touches a hot path such as the terminal, the message list, or git polling, submit before and after numbers. [terminal-performance.md](terminal-performance.md) has the terminal pipeline and its benchmarks, and [development.md](development.md) covers renderer and React profiling.
-
-## Every platform it affects
-
-Your code does not only run on the platform you tested it on. The same app ships to iOS, Android, browser web, and Electron on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and the daemon runs on all three desktop operating systems plus Docker.
-
-You aren't expected to own every device. You are expected to say what you covered:
-
-| Platform        | Tested | Notes |
-| --------------- | ------ | ----- |
-| iOS             |        |       |
-| Android         |        |       |

-| Desktop Windows |        |       |
-| Desktop Linux   |        |       |
-
-Install what you reasonably can. An iOS simulator and an Android emulator cover most of the gap on a single machine, see [development.md](development.md) and [android.md](android.md).
-
-For the rules about which code runs where, read the platform gating section in [CLAUDE.md](../CLAUDE.md). The recurring traps have their own docs: [hover.md](hover.md), [unistyles.md](unistyles.md), [floating-panels.md](floating-panels.md), [mobile-panels.md](mobile-panels.md), [expo-router.md](expo-router.md).
-
-App and daemon versions also drift, in both directions. That has its own contract: [protocol-compatibility.md](protocol-compatibility.md).
-
-## Automated coverage that means something
-
-Tests are evidence only when they exercise the real thing.
-
- A bug fix needs a regression test that fails on the old code for the reported reason.
- A feature needs tests that go through the same interface a user or a caller uses.
- Web flows need an actual Playwright run, not a mocked-out approximation of one.
- Agent provider work needs manual verification against the real provider by someone who can tell that it worked. A fixture and a mock prove the fixture parses, nothing more.
-
-Tests that mock away the behavior, assert on internals, or pass against the broken code claim coverage that isn't there.
-
-[testing.md](testing.md) is the standard, including how to run suites without freezing your machine. For driving a real daemon in a test, see [ad-hoc-daemon-testing.md](ad-hoc-daemon-testing.md). For mobile flows, [mobile-testing.md](mobile-testing.md). For Electron screenshots, [browser-capture-harness.md](browser-capture-harness.md).

The Slice-3 observer entanglement the table fears is already resolved: #1644 moved the status/diff read side into CheckoutSession, so the workspace observer delegates today and this no longer blocks on the WorkspaceController split.

 ### Why this is safe at the dispatch seam (verified)

-`dispatchInboundMessage` builds `a() ?? b() ?? ... ?? dispatchMiscMessage()` and short-circuits on the first non-`undefined` **Promise object** (not its resolved value). Message-type spaces are **disjoint** (no duplicate `case` labels across switches), so at most one dispatcher matches any message — collapsing to delegation cannot change which handler runs. `dispatchTerminalMessage` (2150-2153) already proves this. `start_workspace_script_request` (a workspace type) is special-cased before terminal delegation (2150).

 Rejected alternatives: **feature-module** (free functions + wide context bag) cannot own the live state machines (workspaceUpdatesSubscription, agentUpdatesSubscription, ~25 voice fields) and adds a competing idiom; **mixin-composition** preserves the shared-`this` god object verbatim and requires widening ~325 private fields to protected.

-## Release source and CI
-
-The default release source is `origin/main`. Fetch `origin`, then record the
-resolved commit. The default release checkout is a clean local `main` whose
-`HEAD` equals `origin/main`.
-
-An explicit user instruction can select another ref, such as a hotfix commit or
-tag. Resolve that ref once and apply every source, diff, and CI check to that
-commit instead of `origin/main`.
-
-Before making release-preparation commits, confirm the existing CI run for the

-preparation then stays local through the changelog, any explicitly requested ACP

-commit the prepared inputs locally and run the release command. Its branch and
-tag push is the one remote release batch and starts CI for the complete release
-commit.
-
-## Release branch discipline
-
-While you finalize a release on `main`, use a temporary `next` branch for work intended for the following
-release. This applies to both beta and stable releases.
-
- Create each new `next` from freshly fetched `origin/main`. Reuse it while active.
- "This goes to next" means create the PR against `next` or retarget an existing
-  PR, and keep that destination through delivery.
- Keep `next` current by merging `origin/main` into it as release fixes land.
-  Avoid rebasing this shared branch because agents and open PRs depend on its history.
- After the release ships, bring `next` up to date and open a `next` → `main` PR.
-  Pass CI and merge without squashing away the individual PR commits needed for
-  the changelog. Retarget remaining PRs based on `next` to `main` and delete the integrated
-  `next`. Create it fresh when needed again.
-
-**Setup still needed:** CI, Docker, and Nix PR checks currently target only `main`,
-and GitHub permits only squash merges. Enable checks and required-check protection
-for `next`, CI on its pushes, and merge commits for the integration PR. Handle PR

-use the normal release flow with it as the explicit source, choosing a new patch
-or beta version. Ensure the fixes and changelog also reach `main` and any active
-`next`, preserving newer development and version changes there. This is a
-short-lived hotfix branch, not another maintained release track.

+There are two supported ways to ship from `main`:

-1. **Direct stable release**: you are ready to ship the resolved release source to everyone immediately (default `origin/main`).

+1. **Direct stable release**: you are ready to ship the current `main` commit to everyone immediately.
+2. **Beta flow**: release candidates on the `beta` channel. Betas carry an in-place changelog entry (beta users check it), publish npm only on the explicit `beta` dist-tag, and never move the website download target off the latest stable.

-Paseo has one linear release track even though npm dist-tags are independent
-pointers. The npm invariant is:
+## Standard release (patch)

- A beta release moves only `beta`; `latest` remains on the newest stable.
- A stable release moves both `latest` and `beta` to that stable version. This
-  keeps users who install `@getpaseo/cli@beta` on the newest Paseo release after
-  a beta is promoted or superseded by a direct stable release.

-version:
-
- **Minor** — a user would experience the release as a significant upgrade. This
-  includes substantial new workflows, providers, forges, platforms, integrations,
-  or meaningful expansions of existing capabilities. Foundational internal work
-  also qualifies when it materially changes reliability, performance,
-  compatibility, deployment, or operation; diff size alone does not.
- **Patch** — fixes, polish, small enhancements, and reliability or performance
-  improvements within existing capabilities. Follow-up corrections to a minor
-  release are patches.
-
-The release agent selects patch or minor during preparation and presents the
-target version with the changelog for approval. Agents never select a major
-version autonomously. A major release requires an explicit user instruction and
-approval; Paseo remains on major version zero until that deliberate decision.
-
-Version bumps are never used to retry a failed build. Retry the existing version
-as described in **Fixing a failed release build**.

-## Standard release (stable)
-
-Before running any stable release command:
-
- Make sure the resolved release source passed CI, the approved release inputs are committed locally on the intended branch, and the working tree is clean.
+- Make sure the intended release commit is already committed to `main` and the working tree is clean.
 - **Run `npm run format`, `npm run lint`, and `npm run typecheck` and commit any resulting changes BEFORE you start any `release:*` command.** `release:check` runs `npm install --workspaces --include-workspace-root` as part of `release:prepare`, which can mutate `package-lock.json` (e.g. churning `"dev": true` markers on optional deps). The next step, `version:all:*`, runs `npm version` which aborts when the working tree is dirty. If this happens mid-flight you have to commit the lockfile churn before retrying — and the pre-commit format hook will reject a lockfile-only commit because oxfmt internally skips `package-lock.json` while lefthook's glob still matches it. Avoid the whole mess by running format/lint/typecheck first, then `release:prepare` once on its own to absorb any lockfile churn into a normal commit, then start the release.
- Do not use a release command as a substitute for checking whether the current commit is actually ready.
+- Do not use `npm run release:patch` as a substitute for checking whether the current commit is actually ready.

 ```bash
-# Run exactly one, matching the approved decision:
 npm run release:patch
-npm run release:minor
 ```

-This bumps the version across all workspaces, runs checks, publishes to npm, and pushes the branch + tag. The tag push triggers `Desktop Release`, `Android APK Release`, `Docker`, and `Release Notes Sync` on GitHub Actions. The workflows create the GitHub Release as a draft while builds and release-note sync run. EAS picks up the same tag via the EAS GitHub app and starts the iOS + Android store builds in parallel (see "Mobile builds (EAS)" below) — there is no mobile-release workflow under `.github/workflows`.
-
-After the stable release succeeds, move npm's `beta` pointer to the new stable
-version for every published package. This changes dist-tags only; do not
-republish the packages:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_VERSION=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")
-for package in highlight relay protocol client plugin server cli; do
-  npm dist-tag add "@getpaseo/$package@$PASEO_VERSION" beta
-done
-```
-
-Verify both npm tags now resolve to `PASEO_VERSION` before considering the
-stable release complete.

 The Docker workflow builds images from the checked-out source tree on pull requests and on `main` as non-publishing checks. Stable `vX.Y.Z` tag pushes publish `ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:X.Y.Z` and `ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest`; beta `vX.Y.Z-beta.N` tag pushes publish only `ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:X.Y.Z-beta.N` and never move `latest`.

- `scripts/merge-mac-manifest.mjs` writes the matching Darwin kernel version to `minimumSystemVersion` in the update manifest. Existing clients check this before downloading an update.
-
-macOS 13 maps to Darwin 22. The two values use different version domains; do not copy the macOS version into the update manifest.
-
 ### Limitations

- **No pause / kill switch.** To stop new admissions, ship a superseding release. Clients revalidate on quit and will not install the superseded download, but a client that already completed installation cannot be recalled; ship a hotfix `+1` patch.

 - **Bootstrap caveat.** Clients running a build older than the rollout feature ignore `rolloutHours` and admit immediately. Rollout protection only applies to clients running the rollout-aware version or later.

+The user rarely opens the Expo dashboard. A failed EAS build or submit/review job can sit silently until users complain about a stale version. After every stable release, set up a long-delay babysit that re-checks GitHub Actions, EAS builds, and the EAS `Release Mobile` workflow for the release tag. If any build is `ERRORED`/`CANCELED`, any workflow is `FAILURE`, or any required submit/review job fails, surface it immediately. If all builds are `FINISHED` and all required submit/review jobs are `SUCCESS`, confirm and stop.

-Immediately after every beta, stable, or promotion tag push, create a heartbeat
-that resumes the release in the current conversation. Create it automatically

-
-Each heartbeat checks the release tag commit, all GitHub Actions runs for the
-release branch and tag, npm dist-tags, the GitHub Release body and assets,
-desktop updater manifests, the published Docker image, and the applicable EAS
-workflow. Inspect the GitHub Release itself and confirm that the macOS, Linux,

-(`latest-mac.yml`, `latest-linux.yml`, and `latest.yml` for stable;

When `Host` carries no port there is nothing to observe, so a value your reverse proxy set survives untouched — that is the case where nginx's `$host` drops the port and `X-Forwarded-Port` is the only source. Paseo never derives the port from the scheme. Any other `X-Forwarded-*` header your proxy sends is passed through untouched.
-
-Services that build absolute URLs should prefer `Host` or `X-Forwarded-Host`.
-
-### The forwarded authority is not authenticated
-
-Route lookup normalizes the port away before matching a service hostname, so a client can address the daemon with any port in `Host` and still reach the service.

A client that keeps draining streams continuously, no matter how much output is produced. Before this gate existed, every 256KB of build output dropped a frame and forced a full JSON cell-grid snapshot (~200k objects across IPC) — the historical source of spiky lag and GC hitches.
- **Plugin daemon sessions report IPC queue bytes.** Their virtual socket increments `bufferedAmount` before `process.send` and decrements it only in the send callback. Text and binary frames share that ordered queue, so the normal snapshot catch-up and physical high-water gates remain valid for server-side plugin SDK traffic.
 - **Client output writes are not serialized per frame.** The emulator runtime drains contiguous plain writes straight into xterm (which buffers internally). Only barrier ops (`clear`, `snapshot`, `suppressInput` writes) wait — behind a zero-length sentinel write — so resets can't interleave with in-flight output.
- **Find preserves the inspected xterm viewport, including at the live bottom.** Keep its output anchor inside the existing batched write path. Serializing output to preserve a search result would add terminal latency.
- **Retained terminal tabs in the focused workspace keep their streams.** Hidden mounted terminals continue applying output, so switching tabs does not resubscribe or request a fresh snapshot. The retained-panel LRU bounds the number of live streams; terminals in an unfocused workspace detach.
- **Terminal size has one daemon-owned claimant.** Focus and direct interaction send a `claim`; later geometry changes from that connection send `update`. A claim transfers ownership even when the dimensions are unchanged, while an update from any other connection is ignored. This lets an owning pane follow splits and keyboard insets without allowing an idle phone or browser to steal the PTY size.

 - **Node-only benchmark (fast iteration, server pipeline):** `npx tsx scripts/benchmark-terminal-latency.ts`. Boots an isolated daemon (fresh `PASEO_HOME`, random port — never 6767), measures echo latency percentiles, burst jitter, and snapshot counts under ramped mock-agent load. Writes JSON to `/tmp/paseo-terminal-bench/`. Healthy numbers (2026-06): echo p50 ~2.3ms, p95 ~3.3ms, a 2MB burst fully streamed with `snap=0`.

 - **Production:** grep `daemon.log` for `ws_runtime_metrics` and read `eventLoopDelay` + `bufferedAmount`.
- **Git pressure:** the same log line includes `git.commands` (limiter occupancy, queue age,
-  queue wait, execution time, failures, timeouts, and top operations),
-  `git.workspaceService` (daemon-global Git observer ownership), and per-session workspace Git
-  subscription totals under `runtime`. Queue wait and execution time are separate because the Git

 ## Known remaining contention (follow-up candidates)

- A single large `agent_stream` message (e.g. a 250KB diff payload) measurably delays terminal echo (~100ms-class dips) — cost is split between daemon serialization and app-side parse/render on the shared browser main thread. See [agent-stream-performance.md](agent-stream-performance.md) for that pipeline's own budgets.
- Relay-attached clients pay pure-JS tweetnacl encryption on the daemon main loop (`packages/relay/src/encrypted-channel.ts`). Negotiated binary application frames stay binary ciphertext and avoid base64 encode/decode; text and mixed-version traffic remain base64 WebSocket text frames.

-### Packaged desktop smoke
-
-The packaged desktop smoke is an external observer of the production launch path. It must not add a smoke-only branch to Electron main or start the daemon itself.
-
-The harness launches the packaged app with isolated user data and daemon state, connects to the real renderer over Chromium's debugging protocol, and requires all of these outcomes:
-
- the `paseo://app/` renderer mounts into `#root`;
- the sandboxed preload exposes the desktop bridge;
- the renderer starts a fresh desktop-managed daemon through the normal startup bootstrap;
- the bundled CLI can query that daemon and run a terminal command.
-
-The Desktop Packages workflow runs the Linux x64 smoke under Xvfb on main pushes and on pull requests that change `packages/desktop/**`, `nix/**`, or the workflow itself. The Linux job is pinned to Ubuntu 24.04 and runs twice: with AppArmor user namespace restrictions enabled, then with user namespaces available. It installs the real `.deb`, launches the real AppImage via `--appimage-extract-and-run`, and launches the extracted tar archive. It also replaces the Debian installation with the generated RPM through `rpm --install --nodeps` and checks its sandboxed launch under restrictions. Ubuntu supplies the runtime libraries under Debian package names, so this verifies the RPM payload and postinstall rather than Fedora dependency resolution. Each launch verifies the reported sandbox decision; enabled renderers must also have `NoNewPrivs: 1` and `Seccomp: 2` in `/proc`. The desktop release matrix retains its host-native smokes. Linux release builds stay on Ubuntu 22.04 to preserve their native-library baseline; the restricted-host regression runs on Ubuntu 24.04 after merge.

The CLI source suite runs once in the third required CLI job; only the separate local E2E runner is sharded, and that runner owns its dependency build.

 ## Agent authentication in tests

 Heartbeat is used for notification routing. It must not be used as a correctness gate for `agent_stream` delivery. A stale mobile focus heartbeat may affect whether the user gets notified; it must not make timeline rows disappear from the live stream.

-## Gap recovery is paged but complete
+## Catch-up is paged but complete

 Large unbounded timeline responses can exceed relay frame limits, so catch-up uses bounded pages. Bounded does not mean partial.

 Page limits are projected-item targets. A tool call lifecycle is one projected item even if it spans many source sequence numbers, and assistant/reasoning chunks are merged before counting. The response carries `seqStart`, `seqEnd`, `sourceSeqRanges`, and `collapsed` so clients can advance sequence cursors without rendering delta rows.

-When live delivery detects a sequence gap, the app fetches `direction: "after"`. If the daemon
-responds with `hasNewer: true`, the app immediately fetches the next page from `endCursor`. Gap
-recovery is complete only when `hasNewer: false`.
+When the app fetches `direction: "after"` and the daemon responds with `hasNewer: true`, the app must immediately fetch the next page from `endCursor`. The catch-up is complete only when `hasNewer: false`.

 Initialization timeouts guard lack of catch-up progress, not the full multi-page sync. A successful page that queues the next `after` page refreshes the watchdog.

-Opening or resuming an agent fetches one bounded latest tail page. Older history remains
-user-driven by scrolling upward.
-
-A failed catch-up or subscription reconcile retries on its own, doubling from 1s to a 30s ceiling.
-A fixed 1s retry turned a persistent daemon-side refusal — a Codex thread that already has an active
-writer, say — into a request and a log line every second on an idle app. The delay resets on success,
-reconnect, delivery-mode change, and visibility change, so recovery is still immediate once the
-condition clears. Republishing the same visibility set is a no-op and never bypasses backoff.
-
-Background retries are silent. The retry the user presses in the sync-error callout is a fallible
-user action and owns its pending state: `retrying` is a status the sync model publishes, not a React
-boolean, so the button reports in-flight and the callout returns to `error` when the attempt fails.
-
-Reaching the history-start threshold loads one older page and preserves the visible content anchor.
-Cursor progress does not trigger another page. The user must leave and return to the threshold unless
-the anchored page still leaves the viewport at history start, as with short or compacted content; in
-that case pagination continues as one loading operation until the page fills the viewport or history
-is exhausted.
-
-## Durable item anchors
-
-Provider message IDs are not guaranteed for every displayed item. Paseo-generated system errors are one example. Rendered item indices are not durable either because pagination and projection can merge source rows.
-
-Actions that address a point in chat history, such as Fork, use the daemon timeline `epoch` plus the projected item's `seqEnd`. The app carries that position on the rendered assistant item for both live and fetched history. When adjacent projected chunks merge, the merged item retains the newer chunk's position.
-
-The daemon validates the epoch and locates the projected item at the selected position. A fork
-includes projected items through that checkpoint. If an item spans the checkpoint and changed
-afterward, the daemon refuses that fork with an actionable error: discarded historical payloads
-cannot be reconstructed from sequence metadata. Forking the current context remains available.
+The first load of an agent without a local cursor is different: it fetches a bounded latest tail page. Older history remains user-driven by scrolling upward.

 ## Resume behavior

-Opening, reconnecting, and returning from app background establish the current timeline through
-bounded catch-up. Switching between continuously subscribed open chats needs no fetch.
-Focus alone does not mutate timeline state; the response is compared with the local
-authoritative range first.
+When a client resumes with a known cursor, it catches up after that cursor to completion. It does not replace the view with a latest tail page, because tail pagination can skip the middle of a long background run.

-Cached history remains readable during recovery. The chat shows Reconnecting to host while the host is
-offline, then Updating messages until authoritative catch-up completes. Socket connectivity alone cannot
-certify that the displayed conversation is current. The timeline owner publishes freshness; the
-view renders it without a toast timer or a separate resume workflow.
-
-The draft-create handoff has the same lifetime: the viewed-timeline owner releases it when the sync
-stops owing that chat a catch-up, not when the first authoritative page lands. Releasing it at the
-first page leaves a chat this client just created looking hydrated but still catching up, which
-shows Updating messages for a conversation that cannot be out of date. Closing the tab ends the
-obligation too, so a reopened chat starts from authoritative state instead of a stale optimistic
-one; disconnect and backgrounding keep it.
-
-Foregrounding probes a nominally connected session immediately. A healthy response preserves the
-socket; a failed three-second probe starts reconnecting without waiting for the background heartbeat
-or retry backoff. This cannot keep a mobile socket alive after the operating system suspends it.
-
- The same epoch and `window.maxSeq` is an exact display no-op. The app advances synchronization
-  bookkeeping without replacing timeline arrays, preserving an upward-scrolled viewport.
- When the page overlaps or is adjacent to the local end cursor, only projected items newer than
-  that cursor are applied. Already-covered rows are not replayed.
- A true middle gap, epoch change, or rewind atomically replaces stale canonical history with the
-  latest tail. The replacement reconciles positioned live rows beyond its coverage and unresolved
-  local submissions; it never retains two discontiguous canonical ranges.
-
-The installed tail carries `hasOlder`, so history skipped by a replacement remains reachable through
-ordinary backward pagination. A backward page is accepted only when it is adjacent to the current
-history start; a response requested from a pre-replacement range is stale and is discarded.
-
-A plan approval keeps the original proposal's tool-call identity through resolution and provider
-history replay. The pending approval UI can hide that tool from presentation, but the client model
-must retain its position. Creating a new history card on rejection places it after the prompt that
-rejected it; changing steer-event ordering would also put new assistant output before that prompt.
-
-## Provider child history
-
-Child transcripts use the same projected-page reconciliation as the main conversation. The client
-retains rendered items and sequence cursors, never a second cache of source events. Pagination
-uses the projected display anchor; live updates advance the source cursor without moving tools.
-
-Clients advertising `projected_subagent_timeline` receive child streams and projected fetches.
-Updated clients require `features.projectedSubagentTimeline` for child history; older hosts show
-an update-host notice for that pane.
-Older clients retain child names/status and receive an upgrade message when opening a child
-conversation. This gate affects only the child transcript; it does not gate the connection,
-main conversation, or current-context forks. A legacy `canonical` root request still receives
-projected items.
-
-## Client replica lifetime
-
-The session projection remains host-scoped for as long as the host is registered. The viewed-timeline
-owner wraps cached preparation, network catch-up, accepted timeline application, and persistence
-behind one interface. React supplies transport and projection operations without selecting a cache
-path or issuing a separate persistence notification.
-
-Active-agent list reconciliation does not own transcript lifetime. An archived agent's fresh
-history response can arrive before the active-list response that omits it. Clearing history there
-would discard accepted rows while the viewed owner still considers them synchronized. Entity
-deletion clears the transcript; list membership changes do not.
-
-Removing the host from the registry is the destructive boundary: it stops the runtime and clears the
-session and host-scoped setup state together.
-
-The timeline owner asks durable replica storage for an agent when that agent becomes visible. An
-accepted row paints immediately before subscription acknowledgement or timeline fetch. The stored
-range describes those exact items: `startSeq` drives older pagination and `endSeq` drives forward
-catch-up. The owner requests `after endSeq`, and requests `before startSeq` when the user loads older
-history. Code outside the owner does not distinguish cached and network timelines.
-
-The first resume request is bounded. If it reports more newer history, fetch one latest bounded tail
-instead of replaying every missed page. Live gap recovery still pages forward until current.
-
-If the canonical window exceeds the cache item limit, contains a discontiguous retained range, has a
-live head, or includes presentation data the cache cannot encode losslessly, persistence drops the
-range and keeps a display-only tail. Never slice items while retaining the pre-slice range; that
-falsely certifies discarded source rows. A display-only row paints without granting synchronization
-authority, so the owner uses the ordinary bounded `tail` bootstrap.
-
-Live rows received between cache paint and catch-up stay in the separate live head and reconcile with
-the authoritative range through the existing forward-page path. The cache does not persist sync
-generation or unreconciled local submissions.
-
-Every daemon-derived live item carries its timeline epoch and sequence position. Bootstrap
-replacement keeps only positioned rows newer than the page it installs, while unresolved local
-user presentations identify themselves by having client identity without a timeline position. This
-prevents a page from duplicating rows it already covers without coupling display continuity to the
-shorter-lived submission registry. Unreconciled local presentations are not persisted in the durable
-replica cache.
-
-## Selective and legacy delivery
-
-The app chooses one delivery policy from `server_info.features.selectiveAgentTimeline`:
-
- Selective daemons receive the chats this session has opened, plus any visible agent pane. A chat
-  enters that set the first time the user opens it and leaves when its tab closes or the session
-  ends, independently of mounted or retained React views: switching workspaces, evicting a retained
-  view, app backgrounding, and reconnect all preserve the demand. There is no recent-agent limit.
-  Restored workspace layout is a release signal, never a source. It carries a tab for every chat the
-  user has ever opened on the host, and a catch-up fetch resumes its agent on the daemon, so
-  subscribing from layout spawns a provider session per historical tab at every launch and stamps
-  every one of those workspaces as just used (see
-  [agent lifecycle](agent-lifecycle.md#workspace-activity)). Visible chats get the first catch-up
-  attempt; the rest follow when those attempts settle, including failures, so a failed visible chat
-  does not starve background recovery. Split panes catch up together. Hidden chats update the
-  replica; on web their retained presentation stays suspended until revealed, on native it keeps
-  rendering. Revealing a chat reads the current store and preserves its local UI state.
- Legacy daemons keep globally streaming agent timelines. Visibility still triggers the existing
-  authoritative catch-up, but the app does not issue selective-subscription RPCs.
-
-This policy is owned by `viewed-timeline-sync.ts`; downstream reducers do not branch on daemon
-version.
-
-## Projected pages reconcile with live presentation
-
-A projected page is canonical state, not a sequence of live deltas. One projected item can overlap
-rows already received live—for example, a tool call retained at its original display position while
-its completion advances `seqEnd`, followed by a merged assistant message. The app uses
-`sourceSeqRanges` to replace overlapping assistant and reasoning projections before applying the
-remaining page through the existing stream reducer. It must not append full projected text to a
-live prefix.
-
-Every path that sends a message to an agent — composer send, dictation accept-and-send, queued
-send-now, and the host runtime's automatic queue drain — goes through
-`dispatchComposerAgentMessage` with a submission writer. There is no second transport for the same
-product action: calling `client.sendAgentMessage` directly skips the submitted row and the pending
-footer, and permanently drops attachments because the daemon does not echo them back.
-
-A submitted prompt is one `UserMessageItem` row. That row is the authoritative local presentation:
-its stable identity, text, timestamp, images, and attachments do not change when the provider
-acknowledges it. Submission lifecycle is a separate record keyed by agent, not another row shape.
-The transaction registry records two independent settlement facts: canonical acknowledgement and RPC
-settlement. Canonical acknowledgement retires optimistic activity immediately. When both facts are
-known, whichever arrives second deletes the record. A canonical acknowledgement that arrives first
-prevents a later transport error from rolling back a prompt already observed.
-
-The daemon's accepted response waits for the correlated run start and guarantees that the canonical
-submitted row has been recorded. It publishes the accepted turn's liveness before that row, so the
-client applies authoritative activity before canonical acknowledgement retires optimistic activity.
-Timeline render batching does not delay lifecycle application. Directory status never settles a
-submission. Overlapping sends settle independently rather than collapsing to one newest pending
-message.
-
-Daemons advertising `server_info.features.canonicalSubmittedPrompts` guarantee that every accepted
-prompt carrying a client message id is recorded and streamed as a canonical `user_message` with that
-same id. This includes daemon-handled commands that do not allocate a foreground turn; their submitted
-row is recorded before handler output. The app tracks submission transactions only for hosts with this
-capability. Older hosts keep the shipped untracked optimistic-row behavior and roll that row back on RPC
-rejection.
-
-Turn activity has one client-side replica. Lifecycle events can attach `turnId`, and agent snapshots can
-expose `activeTurn: { turnId, startedAt } | null`. An identified terminal cannot close a different
-identified turn; an unnamed legacy terminal can close the current turn. Snapshots, stream events,
-cancellation requests, and every visible surface update the same per-agent record. The snapshot covers
-both user-started foreground turns and autonomous provider turns;
-foreground control ownership remains a separate daemon concern. Cancellation request identity is stored
-with that record rather than in a React component, so an old request cannot clear a newer one. Submissions
-remain a separate pre-turn registry and retire on canonical acknowledgement.
-
-Canonical turns and visible responses are different boundaries. System-injected prompts are absent from
-the Paseo timeline, so one visible response can span several canonical turns without a user message
-between them. Layout and copy group that response together; lifecycle, timing, tool sequences, and exact
-fork positions retain the canonical `turnId` boundaries.
-
-The compatibility boundary for older daemons is snapshot normalization: running/idle status becomes an
-anonymous active turn or idle state once, and downstream code consumes the same activity shape. The app
-does not combine anonymous lifecycle events, timestamps, timeline rows, and resume coverage to infer a
-second running state. Disconnect preserves the last replicated turn until cache or network hydration
-advances it; replica removal remains the destructive close boundary. Elapsed time comes only from turn
-liveness, never from submission records or whichever timeline rows happen to be mounted.
-
-The daemon records one canonical submitted user row at acceptance. Its wire `messageId` is the
-submission's `clientMessageId`, so the row is born with its final identity and remains immutable on
-the wire. A correlated provider echo records the provider's native identity internally without
-dispatching another timeline event. Rewind resolves the wire identity to that provider identity at
-the provider boundary. Daemon-handled prompts follow the same identity rule.
-
-Content matching is limited to the dated compatibility path for daemon timelines created before
-that field existed. Canonical ingestion may match only an explicit unreconciled local candidate;
-the draft-create handoff is the one boundary that also permits the legacy canonical twin to have
-arrived first. Generic reducers and consumers do not reimplement message identity matching.
-
-Ordinary bootstrap, same-epoch reset, and catch-up replacement preserve unmatched locally submitted
-rows because a provider may never echo them. A known epoch change or rewind replaces history and
-drops acknowledged local rows omitted by the new canonical epoch; every transaction not yet
-acknowledged by the provider, and no other local row, crosses that destructive boundary. A cold
-reset without an existing epoch is destructive because the client has no continuity anchor.
-
-Tail rows are positioned history, so an unmatched local presentation is appended after the
-canonical replacement rather than ordered by timestamps from different machines. The head is a
-live overlay: cursorless items stay there during continuity replacement until canonical positions
-arrive, while a destructive replacement retains only active submission transactions.
-
-Canonical replacement owns both timeline lanes. A matching local row keeps its presentation ID and
-payload while taking the canonical row's ordered position. If a live assistant head is the
-canonical assistant prefix, it stays in the head lane. No row may be returned in both lanes.
+When a client resumes without a cursor, it fetches the latest tail page.

 The important detail: the automatic native path tracks `props.style`. It does not generally track every prop that happens to carry style-like values.

-### Do Not Materialize Styles At Module Scope
-
-Never read a Unistyles style property into a module-level constant. This includes cached arrays:
-
-```tsx
-// Wrong: evaluated while the app may still be using the temporary system theme.
-const ROW_STYLE = [settingsStyles.row, settingsStyles.rowBorder];
-
-// Right: each style proxy is read when this view renders.
-<View style={[settingsStyles.row, settingsStyles.rowBorder]} />;
-```
-
-Paseo starts with adaptive themes, then applies the persisted theme after async settings load. A
-module-level read can therefore materialize the light style before a persisted dark theme is
-active. If the view mounts after that theme change, React Native receives the stale light object;
-Unistyles registers the node for future changes but does not retroactively replace its initial
-props. Settings dividers once rendered light `#e4e4e7` inside a dark `#252B2A` card for exactly
-this reason.
-
-Render-time array syntax is intentional and exempt from the app's JSX array-allocation lint rule.
-Keep the entries separate so each retains its Unistyles metadata. If composition is needed outside
-JSX, create the array inside the component or in a `useMemo` that first runs when the component
-mounts—never at module evaluation time.
-
 [`useUnistyles()`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/use-unistyles) is different. It gives React access to the current theme/runtime and can make a component re-render when those values change. Use it for values that must be rendered through React props, such as icon colors or small escape hatches. Do not expect direct reads from `UnistylesRuntime` to re-render a component; [issue #817](https://github.com/jpudysz/react-native-unistyles/issues/817) is a useful reminder of that invariant.

 Do not flatten a caller-provided style array and pass the flattened object back to a React Native component. Unistyles style entries carry `unistyles_*` metadata; flattening two entries produces one object with multiple metadata keys and triggers the runtime warning: "use array syntax instead of object syntax." Preserve caller styles as arrays, and only flatten the dynamic geometry value you explicitly own. If that owned value was flattened from a mixed style prop, strip `unistyles_*` metadata before sending it through `inlineUnistylesStyle`.

-Do not register an existing Unistyles style inside another `StyleSheet.create` either. That also combines two metadata identities into one object. Reuse the original style directly at the component:
-
-```tsx
-// Wrong: sharedStyles.row already carries Unistyles metadata.
-const styles = StyleSheet.create({ row: sharedStyles.row });
-<View style={styles.row} />;
-
-// Right: one registered style identity reaches the native view.
-<View style={sharedStyles.row} />;
-```

-This mistake once produced tens of thousands of warnings from retained sidebar rows. Because React Native captures component stacks for warnings, the warning loop itself can consume enough CPU and memory to make the app appear blank.

 ## Main Gotcha: `contentContainerStyle`

-`ScrollView.contentContainerStyle` is the canonical trap. It looks like a style prop, but it is not the `style` prop Unistyles registers. How badly that bites depends on who owns the component:
-
- **A remapped React Native `ScrollView`** still picks the style up — the Babel plugin rewrites the import and the factory tracks `contentContainerStyle` alongside `style`. The failure mode here is staleness: on first mount it can paint with the theme that was active at mount time and never repaint. The upstream tutorial calls this out in its [ScrollView Background Issue](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/tutorial/settings-screen#scrollview-background-issue) section.
- **A third-party scroller** — `BottomSheetScrollView`, `FlashList`, anything Unistyles never rewrote — drops the style entirely on web. Nothing throws and the value looks right in JS, but the class Unistyles emitted is never applied, so the padding, gap, or background is simply absent. `AdaptiveModalSheet` shipped its compact sheet content flush to the screen edges for exactly this reason while the desktop card, which uses a real `ScrollView`, looked correct.
-
-The second case is why the wrapper-`View` fix below is not optional styling advice. A themed inset belongs on a `View` you own; a third-party scroller only gets theme-free layout.
+`ScrollView.contentContainerStyle` is the canonical trap. It looks like a style prop, but it is not the same prop that Unistyles' remapped native component registers by default.

 ## Runtime Theme Patching For User Preferences

-Appearance settings (theme, UI/mono font family, font sizes, syntax-highlight theme) are owned by `packages/app/src/appearance`. Its provider subscribes once and synchronizes Unistyles when settings or plugin contributions change. `applyAppearance` patches every key in `REGISTERED_THEMES`, returning `{ ...theme, fontFamily, fontSize, lineHeight, colors.syntax }`.
+Appearance settings (UI/mono font family, font sizes, syntax-highlight theme) are applied by patching every registered theme at runtime with `UnistylesRuntime.updateTheme(name, updater)` — not by threading preference reads through components. `applyAppearance` in `packages/app/src/screens/settings/appearance/apply-appearance.ts` runs from a `ProvidersWrapper` effect on settings load/change and loops all six theme keys, returning `{ ...theme, fontFamily, fontSize, lineHeight, colors.syntax }`.

 This works without `useUnistyles()` because every consumer already reads these tokens through `StyleSheet.create((theme) => …)` (or the `withUnistyles`/`uniProps` path for the markdown renderer), so patching the theme repaints tracked views through the native ShadowRegistry with no React re-render.

 Gotchas:

 - **Patch all themes, not just the active one.** The active theme can change and adaptive mode can flip light/dark; patching every key keeps the active key current and makes ordering vs `setTheme`/`setAdaptiveThemes` irrelevant. The effect depends on the settings values (not on `theme`), so it cannot loop.
- **The reserved plugin keys are the exception to that ordering.** A plugin-contributed theme is rebuilt from its palette, which discards the appearance patch, so the appearance provider writes the matching light or dark slot before applying font and syntax preferences. See [plugins.md](plugins.md).
 - **Narrow the discriminated union before spreading.** `updateTheme`'s updater returns the theme union; spreading the union widens `colorScheme` to `"light" | "dark"`, which is assignable to neither concrete member. Branch on `t.colorScheme` so each branch spreads a single narrowed theme type (no `as`).
- **`lineHeight.diff` is the code/diff line-height axis** — it is coupled to the code-font-size control (≈ `codeFontSize * 1.5`). Do NOT use it for prose. Markdown body line-height scales with content size (`Math.round(theme.fontSize.content * 1.4)`); routing prose through `lineHeight.diff` clips text at small code sizes.
+- **`lineHeight.diff` is the code/diff line-height axis** — it is coupled to the code-font-size control (≈ `codeFontSize * 1.5`). Do NOT use it for prose. Markdown body line-height scales with the UI ramp (`Math.round(theme.fontSize.base * 1.4)`); routing prose through `lineHeight.diff` clips text at small code sizes.
 - **High-churn draft values** (live-while-typing in the appearance preview) bypass the theme: apply them as inline styles marked with `inlineUnistylesStyle` so per-keystroke values don't grow the `#unistyles-web` CSS registry.
- **Web numeric appearance tokens need a render; native tracked styles update in place.** On web, string tokens such as colors become CSS variables, but numeric tokens (font sizes, line heights) are baked into generated classes. `AppearanceStyleBoundary` remounts web shell chrome and explorer content to refresh those classes. Native sidebars and explorer hosts stay outside appearance keys: their gesture refs outlive detached dependents until Gesture Handler's passive cleanup, so remounting a related gesture can query an unmounted view. Their tracked native styles and existing themed leaf props update without replacing the gesture hosts or draggable lists. Parsed PR markdown uses its own `withUnistyles` style mapping.
- **Appearance keys belong below native lifetime owners.** `ThemedStack` wraps screen content through `screenLayout`, preserving navigator identity; nested navigators are listed in `nestedNavigatorScreens` and own their own screen boundaries. The remaining shell surfaces retain their appearance refresh separately from native panel hosts. A key above a native stack can detach its screen container inside a FragmentManager transaction during settings hydration. Keep both navigators and retained panel gesture hosts outside those keys. `applyAppearance` patches the active theme before inactive registry entries so subscribers receive the committed values in the same update. Do not add local appearance keys or a boundary above a navigator.
+- **Mounted parsed content uses `AppearanceStyleBoundary`.** Markdown, syntax-highlighted code, and tool-call detail bodies can contain memoized/custom renderer trees that do not naturally re-run when runtime-patched appearance tokens change. Wrap the parsed surface once with `packages/app/src/components/appearance-style-boundary.tsx`; do not add local "appearance key" props at each callsite.
 - **Dynamic font tokens stay widened.** `fontFamily`, `fontSize`, and `lineHeight` on `commonTheme` are annotated `string`/`number` (not narrowed by `as const`) so the updater's return assigns; the platform default stacks live in `DEFAULT_UI_FONT_STACK` / `DEFAULT_MONO_FONT_STACK`.

-## Patching The Web Runtime
-
-When backporting a Unistyles web fix, patch the TypeScript source and both
-shipped JavaScript builds. Native Metro resolves the package's `react-native`
-export to `src`, but browser and Electron Metro resolve its `browser` export to
-`lib/module`; CommonJS consumers use `lib/commonjs`. A source-only patch leaves
-Electron running the old code.
-
-Register every dependency patch in `scripts/postinstall-patches.mjs`. A file in
-`patches/` is inert unless that script knows which installed package activates
