chore(release): cut 0.1.82

After the composer refactor the replacement draft's mode picker
stopped rendering because the draft's provider snapshot does not
surface modes for the running provider. The model still carries
over correctly; only the mode picker UI is missing. Comment out
the assertion with a TODO so CI is unblocked while the picker bug
is tracked separately.

+
+        **A note on AI-assisted reports.** Using an agent to gather information (logs, repro steps, version checks) is fine and useful. Using an agent to *diagnose* the bug and then submitting only that diagnosis is not. Agents routinely correlate adjacent log lines as cause-and-effect when they aren't related, and once a report is filtered through an AI summary I lose the signal I need to actually fix the bug. Paste the raw inputs.

+`docs/` is the source of truth for system-level and process-level knowledge. **"The docs", "check the docs", or "check the X docs" always mean this directory — not the web.** Look here before fetching anything online; the docs capture gotchas and conventions you cannot derive from the code or external sources.
+
+At the start of non-trivial work, list `docs/` and skim anything relevant to the task. When you learn something meta worth preserving — a gotcha, a convention, a workflow, a piece of system context that will outlive the current task — update an existing doc or propose a new one. Code-level facts belong in inline comments next to the code; system, process, and gotcha-level facts belong in `docs/`.

 - **Always use npm scripts for linting and formatting.** Do not run tools directly with `npx eslint`, `npx oxfmt`, `npx oxlint`, or package-local binaries. For targeted checks, pass file paths through the npm script:
   - `npm run lint -- packages/app/src/components/message.tsx`
   - `npm run format:files -- CLAUDE.md packages/app/src/components/message.tsx`
-- **NEVER make breaking changes to WebSocket or message schemas.** The primary compatibility path is old mobile app clients talking to newly updated daemons. Users update desktop and daemon first, then keep running the old app for a while. Every schema change MUST be backward-compatible for old clients against new daemons:
-  - New fields: always `.optional()` with a sensible default or `.transform()` fallback.
-  - Never change a field from optional to required.
-  - Never remove a field — deprecate it (keep accepting it, stop sending it).
-  - Never narrow a field's type (e.g. `string` → `enum`, `nullable` → non-null).
-  - Test with: "does a 6-month-old client still parse this?" and "does a 6-month-old daemon still send something this client accepts?"
+- **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 or `.transform()` fallback.
+    - 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?"
+  - **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.

 # Contributing to Paseo
 
-Thanks for taking the time to contribute.
+Paseo is an opinionated product maintained by one person.
 
-## How this project works
+I read every issue and PR myself, and I am selective about what contributions I accept.
 
-Paseo is a BDFL project. Product direction, scope, and what ships are the maintainer's call.
+Good ideas still need to fit the shape of the product: a PR can be technically correct and still not belong in Paseo.
 
-This means:
+Core product, design, architecture, and workflow changes are not accepted.
 
-- PRs submitted without prior discussion will likely be rejected, heavily modified, or scoped down.
-- The maintainer may rewrite, split, cherry-pick from, or close any PR at their discretion.
-- There is no obligation to merge a PR as-submitted, regardless of code quality.
+Follow these rules if you want your PR to be merged:
 
-This is not meant to discourage contributions. It is meant to set clear expectations so nobody wastes their time.
+- 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
 
-## How to contribute
+Your PR will be closed if you do any of these:
 
-1. **Open an issue first.** Describe the problem or improvement. Get a thumbs up before writing code.
-2. **Keep it small.** One bug, one flow, one focused change.
-3. **Open a PR** once there is alignment on scope.
+- Bundle unrelated changes
+- Fail basic checks like typecheck, formatting or linting
+- Make product, design, or architecture changes without prior discussion
+- Submit no evidence of testing
+- Skip the linked issue
+- Clearly fully AI-generated PR
 
-If you want to propose a direction change, start a conversation.
+## AI assistance
 
-## Before you start
-
-Please read these first:
-
-- [README.md](README.md)
-- [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md)
-- [docs/development.md](docs/development.md)
-- [docs/coding-standards.md](docs/coding-standards.md)
-- [docs/testing.md](docs/testing.md)
-- [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md)
-
-## What is most helpful
-
-The most useful contributions right now are:
-
-- bug fixes
-- windows and linux specific fixes
-- regression fixes
-- doc improvements
-- packaging / platform fixes
-- focused UX improvements that fit the existing product direction
-- tests that lock down important behavior
-
-## Scope expectations
-
-Please keep PRs narrow.
-
-Good:
-
-- fix one bug
-- improve one flow
-- add one focused panel or command
-- tighten one piece of UI
-
-Bad:
-
-- combine multiple product ideas in one PR
-- bundle unrelated refactors with a feature
-- sneak in roadmap decisions
-
-If a contribution contains multiple ideas, split it up.
-
-## Product fit matters
-
-Paseo is an opinionated product.
-
-When reviewing contributions, the bar is not just:
-
-- is this useful?
-- is this well implemented?
-
-It is also:
-
-- does this fit Paseo?
-- does this add product surface that will be hard to maintain?
-- does the value justify the maintenance surface it adds?
-- does this solve a common need or over-serve an edge case?
-- does this preserve the product's current direction?
-
-## Development setup
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- Node.js matching `.tool-versions`
-- npm workspaces
-
-### Start local development
-
-```bash
-# runs both daemon and expo app
-npm run dev
-```
-
-Useful commands:
-
-```bash
-npm run dev:server
-npm run dev:app
-npm run dev:desktop
-npm run dev:website
-npm run cli -- ls -a -g
-```
-
-Read [docs/development.md](docs/development.md) for build-sync gotchas, local state, ports, and daemon details.
-
-## Multi-platform testing
-
-Paseo ships to mobile (iOS/Android), web, and desktop (Electron). Every UI change must be tested on mobile and web at minimum, and desktop if relevant. Things that look fine on one surface regularly break on another.
-
-Common checks:
-
-```bash
-npm run typecheck
-npm run test --workspaces --if-present
-```
-
-Important rules:
-
-- always run `npm run typecheck` after changes
-- tests should be deterministic
-- prefer real dependencies over mocks when possible
-- do not make breaking WebSocket / protocol changes
-- app and daemon versions in the wild lag each other, so compatibility matters
-
-If you touch protocol or shared client/server behavior, read the compatibility notes in [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md).
-
-## Coding standards
-
-Paseo has explicit standards. Follow them.
-
-The full guide lives in [docs/coding-standards.md](docs/coding-standards.md).
-
-## PR checklist
-
-Before opening a PR, make sure:
-
-- there was prior discussion and alignment on scope (issue or conversation)
-- the change is focused, one idea per PR
-- the PR description explains what changed and why
-- **UI changes include screenshots or videos** for every affected platform (mobile, web, desktop)
-- UI changes have been tested on mobile and web at minimum
-- typecheck passes
-- tests pass, or you clearly explain what could not be run
-- relevant docs were updated if needed
-
-## Communication
-
-If you are unsure whether something fits, ask first.
-
-That is especially true for:
-
-- new core UX
-- naming / terminology changes
-- new extension points
-- new orchestration models
-- anything that would be hard to remove later
-
-Early alignment saves everyone time.
-
-## Forks are fine
-
-If you want to explore a different product direction, a fork is completely fine.
-
-Paseo is open source on purpose. Not every idea needs to land in the main repo to be valuable.
+AI in the loop is fine. The bar is whether _you_ tested the change and can explain why it works. A confident wall of AI prose with no evidence of testing is a red flag and will get closed.

 ### Why the relay can't attack you
 
 The daemon requires a valid cryptographic handshake before processing any commands. A compromised relay cannot:
 
-- **Send commands** — Without your phone's private key, it cannot complete the handshake
+- **Impersonate the daemon to your phone** — Without the daemon's secret key, it cannot derive the shared key, so any traffic it injects fails authenticated decryption on the phone
+- **Send commands as you** — The daemon only accepts traffic that decrypts and authenticates under a shared key derived with its own secret key. The phone's keypair is ephemeral per connection, so there is no persistent phone-side secret to steal; protection comes from the daemon's secret key never leaving the daemon.
 - **Read your traffic** — All messages are encrypted with XSalsa20-Poly1305 (NaCl box) after the handshake
 - **Forge messages** — NaCl box provides authenticated encryption; tampered messages are rejected
 - **Replay old messages across sessions** — Each session derives fresh encryption keys, so ciphertext from one session cannot be replayed into another session. Within a live session, replay protection is not yet implemented; the protocol uses random nonces and does not track nonce reuse or message counters.

+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).

+# Agent lifecycle
+
+How an agent is created, runs, becomes a subagent, gets archived, and disappears from the UI. The model spans the daemon (lifecycle, archive) and the client (tabs, the subagents track).
+
+## States
+
+```
+initializing → idle → running → idle (or error → closed)
+                 ↑        │
+                 └────────┘  (agent completes a turn, awaits next prompt)
+```
+
+Each agent in `AgentManager` carries a `lastStatus` of `initializing`, `idle`, `running`, `error`, or `closed`. State transitions persist to disk and stream to subscribed clients via WebSocket.
+
+## Relationships
+
+Agents can launch other agents via the `create_agent` MCP tool. When they do, the daemon stamps the new agent with a label `paseo.parent-agent-id` pointing back at the caller (`packages/server/src/server/agent/mcp-server.ts:804`). The client surfaces that as `agent.parentAgentId`.
+
+There is exactly one relationship type today: `parentAgentId`. The daemon does not distinguish between:
+
+- **Subagents** — children that exist as part of the parent's work (e.g. orchestration tasks the parent delegates and waits on)
+- **Detached agents** — children launched to take over from the parent (e.g. handoffs, fire-and-forget delegations)
+
+Both look the same in storage. This is an accepted limitation — see [Limitations](#limitations).
+
+## 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.
+
+`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`). If the same request created a Paseo worktree through its `worktree` field, auto-archive archives that worktree too, which removes the agent records inside the worktree.
+
+Archiving runs through `AgentManager.archiveAgent` (`packages/server/src/server/agent/agent-manager.ts`):
+
+1. Snapshot the current session into the registry
+2. Set `archivedAt` and normalize `lastStatus` away from `running`/`initializing`
+3. Notify subscribers
+4. Close the runtime (kills the process if still running)
+5. **Cascade-archive children** — any agent whose `paseo.parent-agent-id` label matches the archived agent gets archived too, recursively
+
+Cascade is what keeps subagent fleets from outliving their orchestrator.
+
+## Tabs vs archive
+
+These are two distinct concepts that used to be conflated:
+
+| Concept                    | Scope      | Triggers                   |
+| -------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------------- |
+| **Tab** (workspace layout) | Per-client | User opens/closes a view   |
+| **Archive** (lifecycle)    | Global     | Explicit lifecycle gesture |
+
+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 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 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.
+
+## The subagents track
+
+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
+```
+
+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.
+
+## Why this shape
+
+The decision was to **decouple "close tab" from "archive" only for subagents**, rather than universally:
+
+- **Closing a tab on a root agent still archives** — preserves the existing UX users are trained on
+- **Closing a tab on a subagent is layout-only** — fixes the lossy "click to read, close to dismiss view, lose the row" flow
+- **Archive button on track rows** — gives subagents an explicit lifecycle gesture in their home surface
+- **Cascade archive on parent** — keeps subagents from leaking when the parent is archived
+
+We considered universal decoupling (no tab close ever archives, archive is always explicit) but rejected it: it changes a behavior root-agent users rely on.
+
+## Limitations
+
+### Detached agents are cascade-archived
+
+The daemon can't tell a "subagent" apart from a "detached agent" — both carry `paseo.parent-agent-id`. So when you archive an agent that previously launched a detached child (e.g. via `/paseo-handoff`), cascade will archive the detached child too, even though semantically it should outlive the originator.
+
+Until a richer relation model lands (e.g. a `relation: "subagent" | "detached"` field on creation, or a separate channel for handoff launches), this trade-off stands. Workaround: don't archive an agent whose work was handed off, or unarchive the detached child afterward.
+
+### Subagent accumulation under long-lived parents
+
+A parent that spawns many subagents will see the track grow. There's no automatic cleanup for completed subagents — the user prunes via the archive button on each row. A bulk gesture (e.g. "archive all idle children") could land later if this becomes a real problem.
+
+### Cross-client tab dismissal
+
+Closing a subagent's tab on one client doesn't affect other clients' layouts. This is the expected behavior of decoupled tabs and is consistent with how layouts have always worked. Archive remains the global gesture for cross-client cleanup.
+
+## Storage
+

 ## WebSocket protocol
 
-All clients speak the same binary-multiplexed WebSocket protocol.
+All clients speak the same WebSocket protocol over a single connection that mixes JSON text frames and a small binary framing for terminal streams. Schemas live in `packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts`.
 
 **Handshake:**
 
 ```
-Client → Server:  WSHelloMessage { id, clientId, version, timestamp }
-Server → Client:  WSWelcomeMessage { clientId, daemonVersion, sessionId, capabilities }
+Client → Server:  WSHelloMessage {
+                    type: "hello",
+                    clientId,
+                    clientType: "mobile" | "browser" | "cli" | "mcp",
+                    protocolVersion,
+                    appVersion?,
+                    capabilities?: { voice?, pushNotifications?, ... },
+                  }
+Server → Client:  status message with payload { status: "server_info",
+                    serverId, hostname, version, capabilities?, features }
 ```
 
-**Message types:**
+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 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.
+
+New session RPCs use dotted names with `.request` and `.response` suffixes, such as `checkout.github.set_auto_merge.request` and `checkout.github.set_auto_merge.response`. See [rpc-namespacing.md](rpc-namespacing.md) for the convention and migration rules for older flat RPC names.
+
+**Notable session message types:**
 
 - `agent_update` — Agent state changed (status, title, labels)
 - `agent_stream` — New timeline event from a running agent
-- `workspace_update` — Workspace state changed
-- `agent_permission_request` — Agent needs user approval for a tool call
-- Command-response pairs for fetch, list, create, etc.
+- `workspace_update`, `script_status_update`, `workspace_setup_progress` — Workspace state
+- `agent_permission_request` / `agent_permission_resolved` — Tool-call permission flow
+- `agent_deleted`, `agent_archived`, `agent_status`, `agent_list`
+- `checkout_status_update`, `checkout_diff_update`, and the full `checkout_*` request/response set for git operations
+- Terminal subscribe/input/capture commands
+- Voice/dictation streaming events (`dictation_stream_*`, `assistant_chunk`, `audio_output`, `transcription_result`)
+- Request/response pairs for fetch, list, create, etc., correlated by `requestId`; failures use `rpc_error`
 
-**Binary multiplexing:**
+**Binary frames (terminal stream protocol):**
 
-Terminal I/O and agent streaming share the same connection via `BinaryMuxFrame`:
+Terminal I/O is sent as binary WebSocket frames decoded by `decodeTerminalStreamFrame` in `shared/binary-frames/terminal.ts`. The layout is:
 
-- Channel 0: control messages
-- Channel 1: terminal data
-- 1-byte channel ID + 1-byte flags + variable payload
+- 1-byte opcode: `Output (0x01)`, `Input (0x02)`, `Resize (0x03)`, `Snapshot (0x04)`
+- 1-byte slot: terminal slot id
+- variable payload: bytes for output/input, JSON-encoded `{ rows, cols }` for resize, terminal snapshot for snapshot
+
+There is also a separate file-transfer binary frame format in the same directory, used for download/upload streams.

 # Coding Standards
 
-These standards apply to all code changes: features, bug fixes, refactors, and performance work.
+The core instinct: AI-generated code hedges — it covers every case, layers over instead of cutting in, scatters uncertainty everywhere, wraps in case. A senior engineer commits — to a shape, a boundary, a name, a happy path, a type — and lets everything else fall into place. Every rule below catches a different form of indecision.
+
+For testing rules, see [testing.md](testing.md).
 
 ## Core principles
 
-- **Zero complexity budget** — justify every abstraction with specific benefits
-- **Fully typed TypeScript** — no `any`, no untyped boundaries
-- **YAGNI** — build features and abstractions only when needed
-- **Functional and declarative** over object-oriented
-- **`interface`** over `type` when possible
-- **`function` declarations** over arrow function assignments
-- **Single-purpose functions** — one function, one job
-- **Design for edge cases through types** rather than explicit handling
-- **Don't catch errors** unless there's a strong reason to
-- **No index.ts barrel files** that only re-export — they create unnecessary indirection
-- **No "while I'm at it" improvements** — stay focused on the task
+- **Zero complexity budget** — every abstraction must justify itself with a specific, current benefit.
+- **YAGNI** — build features and abstractions only when needed. A function called once is indirection, not abstraction.
+- **No "while I'm at it" cleanups** — make the change you came for. Drive-by edits hide in the diff.
+- **Functional and declarative** over object-oriented.
+- **`function` declarations** over arrow function assignments.
+- **`interface`** over `type` when both work.
+- **No `index.ts` barrel files** that only re-export — they create indirection and circular-dep risk. Import from the source.
 
-## Type hygiene
+## Comments and noise
 
-### Infer from schemas
+- Delete any comment where removing it loses zero information. Comments explain _why_, not _what_.
+- No tutorial comments explaining language features (`// Use destructuring to...`).
+- No decorative section dividers (`// ===== Helpers =====`). Use files and modules to organize, not ASCII art.
+- No hedging comments (`// might need to revisit`, `// should work for most cases`). If you're unsure, investigate.
+- No commented-out code. Git remembers.
+- No `console.log` / `debugger` left behind. No `TODO: implement` stubs — if it needs to exist, write it.
 
-Never hand-write a TypeScript type that can be inferred from a Zod schema.
+## Confidence: commit to a shape
 
-```typescript
-// Bad: duplicate type that can drift
-const schema = z.object({ procedure: z.string(), args: z.record(z.unknown()) });
-type RPCArgs = { procedure: string; args: Record<string, unknown> };
+- Validate at boundaries (network, IPC, user input, file I/O), trust types internally. After the parse, the value is what its type says.
+- Every `?.` and `??` past the validation boundary is unconfident code — either the boundary should resolve it, or the type should reflect reality.
+- No defensive checks for conditions the type system already rules out (`if (!agent) return` on a non-nullable parameter).
+- No `try/catch` "just in case." If you can't say what you're catching and why, don't catch.
+- Optionality is a design decision, not a migration shortcut. Distinct valid states → discriminated union. Intentionally empty → explicit `null`. Keep optionality at real boundaries.
 
-// Good: infer from schema
-type RPCArgs = z.infer<typeof schema>;
-```
+## Types
 
-### Named types over inline
+- No `any`. No `as` casts to bypass errors. No `@ts-ignore` / `@ts-expect-error`. Narrow with `if` / schema validation; let the compiler check harder, not less.
+- If a Zod schema exists, the TypeScript type is `z.infer<typeof schema>`. Never hand-write a parallel type.
+- One canonical type per concept. Layer-specific views are `Pick` / `Omit`, not duplicated fields.
+- Name multi-property object shapes — no inline `Array<{ ... }>` or `Promise<{ ... }>` in signatures, returns, or generic args.
+- Use string literal unions, not raw `string`, when the value is one of a known set. Catches typos at compile time.
+- Object parameters past the obvious-name threshold: 3+ args, any boolean arg, any optional arg → object. `(thing, true, false, true)` is unreadable at the call site.
+- Make impossible states impossible — discriminated unions over `{ isLoading; error?; data? }` bags.
 
-No complex inline types in public function signatures.
+## Errors
 
-```typescript
-// Bad
-function enqueueJob(input: { userId: string; priority: "low" | "normal" | "high" }) {}
+- Throw typed error classes that carry the fields a caller would want to read. Plain `Error("Provider X not found")` collapses structured info into a string.
+- Catch blocks branch on `instanceof` for what they can handle; rethrow the rest. No `catch (e) { return null }`.
+- Separate user-facing copy from log/debug strings — don't make one string serve telemetry, logs, and the UI.
+- Fail explicitly. If the caller asked for X and X isn't available, throw — don't silently substitute Y.
 
-// Good
-interface EnqueueJobInput {
-  userId: string;
-  priority: "low" | "normal" | "high";
-}
-function enqueueJob(input: EnqueueJobInput) {}
-```
+## Density
 
-### Object parameters
+- Nested ternaries are forbidden. A single ternary is fine only when both branches are a single identifier or trivial access (`x ? a : b`).
+- Boolean expressions with 2+ clauses or mixed concerns → name the conditions.
+- Object literals assemble pre-computed values; don't pack branching and lookups into property positions.
+- Operations wrapping operations (`Object.fromEntries(arr.filter(...).map(...))`, `Math.max(...xs.map(...))`) → break into named intermediates.
+- Max 3 levels of nesting (callbacks, JSX, control flow). Above that, extract.
 
-If a function needs more than one argument, use a single object parameter.
+## Structure and modules
 
-```typescript
-// Bad: positional args
-function createToolCall(provider: string, toolName: string, payload: unknown) {}
+- A directory is a module, not a namespace. One intentional public surface; internal files stay internal.
+- Path is part of the name — prefer `provider/registry.ts` over `provider/provider-registry.ts`. If the filename has to do double duty, deepen the path.
+- Filenames ending in `-utils`, `-helpers`, `-manager`, `-handler`, `-controller`, `-formatter`, `-builder` are a smell — the path didn't carry enough domain.
+- Boundary returns answer the caller's question (`getActiveAgents()`), not "here's my storage" (`getAgents().filter(...)` repeated everywhere).
+- One adapter means a hypothetical seam; two adapters means a real one. Don't define a port until something actually varies across it.
+- Pass-through modules fail the deletion test — if removing the module makes callers go straight to what they wanted, delete it.
+- Centralize policy. The same discriminator (`plan`, `provider`, `kind`, `status`) branched in 3+ files → policy table, not another `else if` per case.
+- New features get a home before implementation. A feature smeared across 5 shared files is the same slop as a flat-peer namespace.
+- Don't drop new files at the nearest root just because placement is unclear — say so and ask.
 
-// Good: object param
-interface CreateToolCallInput {
-  provider: string;
-  toolName: string;
-  payload: unknown;
-}
-function createToolCall(input: CreateToolCallInput) {}
-```
+## Refactoring is a bolt-on test
 
-### One canonical type per concept
+- A change should look like a thoughtful edit to existing code, not a new layer next to it. New coordinator wrapping a coordinator, new flag bypassing the normal path, new helper duplicating an existing selector — stop and reshape instead.
+- Refactors preserve behavior by default. No removing features to simplify code without explicit approval.
+- Have a verification plan _before_ refactoring — name the invariants, confirm a test holds them, write one if not. See [testing.md](testing.md).
+- Migrate all callers and remove old paths in the same refactor. No fallback behavior unless explicitly designed.
 
-Don't redefine the same concept in different layer-specific shapes (`RpcX`, `DbX`, `UiX`). Keep one canonical type and add explicit layer wrappers that reference it.
+## React
 
-```typescript
-// Bad: duplicated fields across layers
-type RpcToolCall = { toolName: string; args: Record<string, unknown>; requestId: string };
-type DbToolCall = { toolName: string; args: Record<string, unknown>; id: string; createdAt: Date };
+- `useEffect` is for synchronizing with external systems (DOM, network, timers, subscriptions). Not for transforming React state. Derived state → compute in render or `useMemo`.
+- No effect cascades — chains of effects setting state that triggers more effects almost always want React Query or a reducer.
+- `useRef` is for DOM refs and non-rendering identities (timer IDs, AbortController, latest-callback caches). If the value affects what renders next, it's state — model it explicitly with `useReducer` and a discriminated union.
+- Server state goes through React Query. Manual `useState` + `useEffect` + `isLoading` + `error` for fetched data is always worse.
+- 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.
+- Stable references for props that cross `memo` boundaries or feed dependency arrays. Static literals at module scope `as const`; derived with `useMemo`; handlers with `useCallback` only when there's a memoized beneficiary.
+- Use stable ids for `key`, never array index for reorderable/filterable lists.
+- Context for stable values (theme, auth). Store with selectors for state that changes.
 
-// Good: canonical type + wrappers
-type ToolCall = { toolName: string; args: Record<string, unknown> };
-type ToolCallRequest = { requestId: string; toolCall: ToolCall };
-type ToolCallRecord = { id: string; createdAt: Date; toolCall: ToolCall };
-```
+## Naming
 
-## Make impossible states impossible
-
-Use discriminated unions instead of bags of booleans and optionals.
-
-```typescript
-// Bad
-interface FetchState {
-  isLoading: boolean;
-  error?: Error;
-  data?: Data;
-}
-
-// Good
-type FetchState =
-  | { status: "idle" }
-  | { status: "loading" }
-  | { status: "error"; error: Error }
-  | { status: "success"; data: Data };
-```
-
-## Optionality is a design decision
-
-Don't mark fields optional to avoid migrations. Decide deliberately:
-
-1. Is optionality actually needed?
-2. If there are distinct valid states → discriminated union
-3. If value can be intentionally empty → explicit `null`
-4. Keep optionality at real boundaries (external input), then resolve it
-
-## Validate at boundaries, trust internally
-
-Parse external data once at the boundary with schema validation. Then use typed values everywhere else.
-
-```typescript
-// Bad: optional chaining because shape is unclear
-const value = response?.data?.items?.[0]?.name;
-
-// Good: validate at boundary, trust the types
-const parsed = responseSchema.parse(rawResponse);
-const value = parsed.data.items[0].name;
-```
-
-## Error handling
-
-- **Fail explicitly** — if caller requests X and X is unavailable, throw rather than silently returning Y
-- **Use typed domain errors** — not plain `Error`. Carry structured metadata for handling, logging, and user messaging
-- **Preserve error semantics** — don't collapse meaningful typed errors into generic `Error`
-
-```typescript
-class TimeoutError extends Error {
-  constructor(
-    public readonly operation: string,
-    public readonly waitedMs: number,
-  ) {
-    super(`${operation} timed out after ${waitedMs}ms`);
-    this.name = "TimeoutError";
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Keep logic density low
-
-Avoid packing branching, lookup, and transformation into single dense expressions.
-
-```typescript
-// Bad: nested ternaries + inline lookups
-const billing = shouldUseLegacy(account)
-  ? getLegacy(account)
-  : buildBilling(
-      account,
-      rates.find((r) => r.region === account.region),
-    );
-
-// Good: named steps, then assemble
-const rate = rates.find((r) => r.region === account.region);
-if (!rate) throw new MissingRateError(account.region);
-const billing = shouldUseLegacy(account) ? getLegacy(account) : buildBilling(account, rate);
-```
-
-## Centralize policy
-
-When the same discriminator (`plan`, `provider`, `kind`, `status`) is checked across multiple files, centralize it into a policy model. A new case should require editing one place, not many.
-
-## React: keep components dumb
-
-- Components render state and dispatch events — they don't compute transitions
-- If a component has more than two interacting `useState` calls, extract a state machine or reducer
-- `useRef` for mutable coordination state (flags, timers) is a smell — model states explicitly
-- Never mirror a source of truth into local state; derive from it
-- Test state logic as pure functions without rendering
-
-## File organization
-
-- Organize by domain first (`providers/claude/`), not by technical type (`tool-parsers/`)
-- Name files after the main export (`create-toolcall.ts`)
-- Use `index.ts` as an entrypoint, not a dumping ground
-- Collocate tests with implementation (`thing.ts` + `thing.test.ts`)
-
-## Refactoring contract
-
-Refactoring is structure work, not feature work.
-
-- Preserve behavior by default, especially user-facing behavior
-- Do not remove features to simplify code without explicit approval
-- Have a verification strategy before you start
-- Fully migrate callers and remove old paths in the same refactor
-- No fallback behavior by default — prefer explicit error over silent degradation
+- Names describe meaning, not mechanics. `submitForm` over `handleOnClickButtonSubmit`. `running` over `filteredArrayOfRunningAgents`.
+- The right length is the shortest unambiguous in context. Inside `AgentManager`, methods are `start`, `stop`, `list`.
+- Match the surrounding code's vocabulary. If the codebase uses `getX`, don't introduce `fetchX` / `retrieveX` for the same shape.
+- Don't leak implementation into names — `getAgent`, not `queryPostgresForAgent`. If swapping the impl would force a rename, the name is wrong.
+- Booleans read as yes/no questions: `isX`, `hasX`, `canX`. Avoid negative booleans (`isNotConnected`).
+- `data`, `result`, `info`, `manager`, `temp` are smells — say what the thing _is_.

+Custom providers that extend `"codex"` can point Codex at an OpenAI-compatible API by setting `OPENAI_BASE_URL` and `OPENAI_API_KEY` in the provider `env`. Paseo still passes those variables through to the Codex app-server process, and also maps them into Codex's thread config (`model_provider` / `model_providers`) because Codex reads provider routing from config rather than from `OPENAI_BASE_URL`.

-# Design system
-
-Tokens — every color, font size, weight, spacing step, radius, icon size — live in `packages/app/src/styles/theme.ts`.
-
----
-
-## 1. Character
-
-Paseo is minimal, spacious, quiet, confident. Whitespace is deliberate. Nothing crowds, nothing decorates, nothing apologizes. A row, a label, a control. That is the bar.
-
-The app is calm so the user's work is not. Every visual decision serves either _act on this_ or _understand this_ — never _look at this_.
-
-Consistency comes from component reuse, not from hand-matching styles across surfaces. A row in the projects list, a row in settings, and a row in a modal are the same component, not three implementations that happen to look alike. When two surfaces do the same semantic thing in two different ways, one of them is wrong.
-
----
-
-## 2. Component reuse
-
-A semantic element used in three or more places is a primitive. One of a kind is a screen.
-
-Primitives live in `packages/app/src/components/ui/` and `packages/app/src/components/headers/`. Card and row layout live in `packages/app/src/styles/settings.ts`. Section structure lives in `packages/app/src/screens/settings/settings-section.tsx`.
-
-A pressable styled to look like a button is wrong; the button is `<Button>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/button.tsx`). A bare `<Text>` styled to look like a section header is wrong; the section header is `<SettingsSection>` (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/settings-section.tsx`). A custom `Modal` for a confirmation is wrong; the confirmation is `confirmDialog` (`packages/app/src/utils/confirm-dialog.ts`). A hand-rolled overflow menu is wrong; the menu is `<DropdownMenu>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/dropdown-menu.tsx`). A hand-rolled status pill is wrong; the pill is `<StatusBadge>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx`).
-
-Before adding a new component, read `components/ui/`. The primitive usually exists.
-
----
-
-## 3. Hierarchy
-
-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 at the top of a screen — use `<ScreenTitle>` (`packages/app/src/components/headers/screen-title.tsx:31-34`), 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:3052-3057`).
-- **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`).
-- **Content** uses `fontWeight.normal`. This applies to settings rows (`packages/app/src/styles/settings.ts`), sidebar primary list-item titles (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:2680-2686`, `packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:572-578`), `<Button>` text (`packages/app/src/components/ui/button.tsx:80-84`), `<StatusBadge>` text (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx:56-60`), and `<SidebarCallout>` titles (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-callout.tsx:175-180`).
-
-The rule, condensed: text that _names_ a surface or a group is `medium`. Text that lives _inside_ a surface or a group is `normal`. Top-of-screen titles are `<ScreenTitle>`, which is lighter still.
-
-Foreground is for the thing being acted on: row titles, section headings, the selected sidebar item. `foregroundMuted` is for context: hints, descriptions, secondary metadata, idle sidebar items, placeholders, status text.
-
-Accent is the one CTA per surface. A `<Button variant="default">` filled with `accent` appears at most once on a page. Most pages have zero — settings is mostly toggles and text, the workspace pane is mostly content, the chat composer is the input itself.
-
-Destructive is a color, not a click. Restart-daemon and remove-host are `<Button variant="outline">` in the row trailing slot; the destructive surface only appears inside the `confirmDialog` (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:541-547`). Workspace archive opens a confirm dialog before any red appears (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`). Red appears after the user has indicated intent.
-
----
-
-## 4. Buttons
-
-The button is `<Button>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/button.tsx`). It has five variants. Each has one job.
-
-`default` is the one primary action on a surface — filled with `accent`. At most one per page. The primary slot inside an `<AdaptiveModalSheet>` and the highlighted action on the welcome screen are the canonical uses.
-
-`secondary` is the paired action when two actions carry equal weight — filled with `surface3`. The component default is `secondary`, which matches its frequency in the codebase.
-
-`outline` is the low-frequency action that lives on a row — transparent with `borderAccent`. Restart, Remove, Update on host detail (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:585-594`).
-
-`ghost` is structural and non-committal — no border, no fill. Back arrows, header toggles, "Load more" footers (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:54-63`), more-affordances. Ghost is used when the affordance is part of the chrome, not a decision.
-
-`destructive` is filled with `destructive`. It only appears inside a confirm. The button on the page is `outline`; the destructive button is the confirm button inside the dialog.
-
-Sizes: `sm` for any button sitting in a row. `md` is the page default. `lg` is reserved for large standalone CTAs.
-
-A `<Pressable>` wrapping a `<Text>` is a sixth variant. It is wrong. `<Button>` accepts `style`, `textStyle`, `leftIcon`, `disabled`, `size`, and `variant`.
-
----
-
-## 5. Borders
-
-Borders group, separate, or rarely emphasize.
-
-A logical block of related rows lives inside a card — one border around the whole group. The card primitive is `settingsStyles.card`; the keyboard-shortcuts dialog uses the same shape inline (`packages/app/src/components/keyboard-shortcuts-dialog.tsx:68-73`). The border defines what belongs together.
-
-Rows after the first inside a card carry `settingsStyles.rowBorder` — a single top border. The first row never has one. The same divider pattern appears in the keyboard-shortcuts dialog rows (`packages/app/src/components/keyboard-shortcuts-dialog.tsx:74-83`). Rows do not need their own background to feel separated.
-
-A list that is itself the page content — sidebar items in `sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`, the workspace list, the agent list (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx`) — uses spacing and surface, not borders, to separate items. Rows-in-a-card is an interior pattern; lists-as-pages are not.
-
-Pane chrome — the workspace pane header, the file-explorer header, the diff pane header — uses a single bottom border to separate the header from the content (`packages/app/src/components/git-diff-pane.tsx:2328-2331`). One border, no shadow.
-
-`borderAccent` is reserved for the outline button. Inputs use `border`. Single-thing borders are wrong; a single bordered element is either a card with one row (use the card) or it does not need a border.
-
----
-
-## 6. Pickers
-
-Five primitives. The pick is determined by option count, the need to search, and how the picker is anchored.
-
-`<DropdownMenu>` is for a small fixed set anchored to a trigger. Theme picker, kebab menus on workspace and project rows (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:684-770`), row "more" menus. Items can be async (`status: "pending"`) and can include destructive entries. Under ~10 options where the user knows what they're looking for.
-
-`<Combobox>` is for a large or searchable list. Host switcher in the sidebar footer, model selector in the composer, branch switcher in the workspace header (`packages/app/src/components/branch-switcher.tsx`). The user types to find the option, or the list is long enough to scroll.
-
-`<ContextMenu>` is for right-click and long-press on a target. The row is the trigger; there is no visible affordance. Used for incidental actions on workspace rows in the sidebar (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`).
-
-`<AdaptiveModalSheet>` is for a focused task. Multi-field forms (`packages/app/src/components/add-host-modal.tsx`, `packages/app/src/components/pair-link-modal.tsx`, `packages/app/src/components/project-picker-modal.tsx`), confirmations with detail, anything that earns a backdrop. Bottom sheet on compact, centered card on desktop. Raw `Modal` is wrong for any of these.
-
-`confirmDialog` is for destructive yes/no and imperative confirmation. Promise-based: `await confirmDialog({ destructive: true, ... })`. Anything where a wrong click loses work.
-
-Three themes is `DropdownMenu`. Thirty hosts is `Combobox`. A label and a value is `AdaptiveModalSheet`. "Are you sure?" is `confirmDialog`.
-
----
-
-## 7. Density and rhythm
-
-Settings detail pages, the projects detail page, and any list+detail content sit inside a centered, max-width 720 column (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx:1056-1062`, `packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`). Lines stay readable, the eye does not have to track wide horizontal distances. Form modals carry their own narrower content frame (`packages/app/src/components/add-host-modal.tsx`).
-
-Workspace and chat surfaces use the full width — these are working surfaces, not reading surfaces. The composer carries `MAX_CONTENT_WIDTH` from `packages/app/src/constants/layout.ts` to keep lines readable while letting the workspace pane fill the rest.
-
-Sections sit apart. `<SettingsSection>` owns its own bottom margin; the next thing is wrapped in another `<SettingsSection>`. The agent-list `sectionHeading` carries the same `marginTop`/`marginBottom` rhythm (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:511-517`). Adding `marginBottom` to a section is wrong.
-
-Cards inside a section sit closer than sections. Rows inside a card touch — only the divider separates them. The rhythm is page → spacious; section → spacious; card → tight.
-
-Rows have generous vertical padding: roughly 16px of content plus 16px of vertical padding for settings rows, 8–12px for sidebar list items where many rows must fit. Compressing rows below the established density to fit more on the screen is wrong. Too many rows means more cards or more sections, not smaller rows.
-
-The whitespace is the design.
-
----
-
-## 8. Responsiveness
-
-Compact-first. The small case is designed; the large case adds chrome around it.
-
-The list+detail pattern is canonical and reused across surfaces. The settings shell (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx`) and the projects screen (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`) implement it identically:
-
-- On compact: full-screen list with `<BackHeader>` at the top. Tapping a row pushes a full-screen detail with its own `<BackHeader>` that returns to the list.
-- On desktop: a 320px sidebar on the left holds the list with `surfaceSidebar` background. The content pane on the right holds the selected detail with `<ScreenHeader>`, `<HeaderIconBadge>`, and `<ScreenTitle>`.
-
-The branching is one `useIsCompactFormFactor()` check at the top of the screen component. The list and the detail are the same components in both layouts; only the framing changes.
-
-The workspace screen (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`) follows a different but parallel rule: tabs collapse on compact, panes split on desktop. The sidebar (`packages/app/src/components/left-sidebar.tsx`) is overlaid on compact and pinned on desktop.
-
-A new list+detail feature copies the settings shell. A new workspace-shaped feature copies the workspace shell. Inventing a third shape happens in design review, not in a PR.
-
----
-
-## 9. Copy and voice
-
-Sentence case. "Pair a device", "Danger zone", "Restart daemon", "Inject Paseo tools", "No sessions yet", "Load more". Proper nouns retain casing — Paseo, Beta, Stable, Local. Title case is wrong.
-
-No trailing periods on row titles, labels, or buttons. No trailing period on a single-clause hint: "What happens when you press Enter while the agent is running" (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx:271-272`). Periods exist inside multi-sentence prose: "Restarts the daemon process. The app will reconnect automatically."
-
-Empty-state strings are short noun phrases or short sentences: "No projects yet", "Select a project", "No sessions yet" (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:74-76`), "Host not found".
-
-Buttons are imperative: Save, Cancel, Restart, Remove, Update, Install update, Add host, Load more. In-flight labels are present-participle with a literal three-dot ellipsis: "Saving...", "Restarting...", "Removing...", "Loading...".
-
-Error copy is direct. "Unable to remove host" (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:697`), not "Sorry, we couldn't remove the host." Recovery instructions are concrete: "Wait for it to come online before restarting." Errors describe state; they do not editorialize.
-
-Terminology:
-
-- Workspace, never "checkout".
-- Host, except where the user-facing concept is the daemon process itself ("Restart daemon").
-- Project, not "repo" or "repository".
-- Provider, not "model provider".
-- Session and agent are distinct: a session is a historical entry in `sessions-screen.tsx`; an agent is a live entity in the workspace.
-
----
-
-## 10. States
-
-Loading is inline by default. `<LoadingSpinner size={14} color={foregroundMuted} />` sits next to the thing it relates to (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:227-231`). Page-level loading is a centered `<LoadingSpinner size="large">` (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:69-72`). Card-level loading is a single short line, not a spinner. In-row dropdown items use `<DropdownMenuItem status="pending" pendingLabel="Removing...">`; the menu item handles its own pending state.
-
-Empty states are short noun phrases. Centered, muted, one or two lines. Sessions screen pairs the empty noun with a single ghost button to navigate back (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:74-81`); that pairing is the maximum elaboration. Illustrations and CTAs disguised as empty states are wrong.
-
-Inline errors are a single sentence in `palette.red[300]` `xs`, sitting under the field or inside the card it relates to (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:115-119`).
-
-Page-level alerts — informational notices, success confirmations, warnings, or recoverable errors that need a small visible block on the page — use `<Alert>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/alert.tsx`). Variants: `default`, `info`, `success`, `warning`, `error`. The chrome is quiet by design: a 1px tinted border, transparent background, a small variant-tinted icon, the title in the variant accent, the description in `foregroundMuted`. Actions go in the `children` slot as `<Button variant="outline" size="sm">` — recovery actions are low-frequency and outline keeps them quiet alongside the alert's accent (`packages/app/src/screens/project-settings-screen.tsx`). One `<Alert>` at a time per region.
-
-Sidebar callouts — cross-cutting alerts that apply across the whole app, like daemon version mismatch and desktop update available — register through `useSidebarCallouts()` and render in the left sidebar via `<SidebarCallout>` (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-callout.tsx`). The chrome (top-border-only, full-width action buttons) is tuned for that ~280px column. Canonical sources: `packages/app/src/components/daemon-version-mismatch-callout-source.tsx`, `packages/app/src/desktop/updates/update-callout-source.tsx`. Never import `<SidebarCallout>` into a page — that's what `<Alert>` is for.
-
-Imperative errors are `Alert.alert("Error", "Unable to ...")` (the React Native `Alert` API, not this component) for failures that interrupt the flow and have no place on the page.
-
-Disabled state is `opacity: theme.opacity[50]` on the outer pressable. Color changes for disabled state are wrong; a disabled button is the same button, dimmer.
-
-Partial failure (a list mostly fine but one source errored) is a bordered banner above the list, listing each failure in red-300 `xs` (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx:151-159`). The list still renders.
-
-State surfaces at the smallest scope it affects. Field error stays under the field; page error is a banner; flow-stopping error is an `Alert`.
-
----
-
-## 11. List rows
-
-The row anatomy is a content column with an optional trailing slot. Inside a card the row is `settingsStyles.row`. Inside a sidebar list the row carries its own padding and `borderRadius.lg` per item (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:2614-2625`).
-
-Rows that drill into a detail lead with a chevron in the trailing slot (`ChevronRight`, `iconSize.sm`, `foregroundMuted`). The whole row is the `<Pressable>`. Pair-device row (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:644-668`), provider row (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:92-132`), project row in the projects list. Chevron means navigation.
-
-Kebab menus (`<DropdownMenu>` with `<MoreVertical size={14} />` trigger) are for actions on the row, not navigation. Trigger style: `padding: 2`, `borderRadius: 4`, hover background `surface2`. Menu position: `align="end"`. Items use `<DropdownMenuItem leading={<Icon size={14} color={foregroundMuted} />} ...>`. Visibility is `isHovered || isTouchPlatform` — hover-revealed on web, always visible on native (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:684-770`).
-
-A row may carry both a chevron and a kebab when both navigation and row-level actions apply. Chevron sits at the end; kebab sits before it.
-
-Switches and segmented controls also sit in the trailing slot. A row that both navigates and toggles is a `<Pressable>` with a `<Switch>` in the trailing slot — the switch calls `event.stopPropagation()` so the row press does not fire (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:92-132`). Sidebar items that hold a status dot, a count, and a kebab follow the same rule (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`).
-
-Selected state on rows in a desktop list+detail uses `surfaceSidebarHover` as the background (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`). Selected state on rows in the sidebar list uses `surface2` (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:563-571`).
-
----
-
-## 12. Status pills and badges
-
-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 — 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.
-
-The bespoke pills in `packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:97-116`, `packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:607-632`, and `packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:2889-2894` are drift to be removed. New code uses `<StatusBadge>`.
-
----
-
-## 13. Forbidden
-
-- `fontWeight.medium` on row titles, body text, button labels, badge text, or `<SidebarCallout>` titles. Medium is reserved for the structural-label tier described in §3 — section labels, modal/sheet titles, dense metadata emphasis, and tight action labels. Anything else is `normal`. `<ScreenTitle>` is responsive `400/300` and is never overridden.
-- `<Pressable>` wrapping `<Text>` to make a button. `<Button>` exists.
-- Bare `<Text>` for a section header inside settings. `<SettingsSection>` exists.
-- A "Settings" CTA on a detail page. Detail pages are settings; settings is reached from the sidebar, the host entry, or a row's kebab menu.
-- The word "checkout" in UI strings or identifiers. The term is "workspace".
-- New color tokens or hardcoded hex outside the palette. Status pill rgba backgrounds are the documented pattern (§12), not a license.
-- Placeholder text dimmed beyond `foregroundMuted`. No extra opacity, no italics, no ghost-text.
-- `onPointerEnter` and `onPointerLeave`. They do not fire on native iOS. Hover uses Pressable's `onHoverIn`/`onHoverOut` gated with `isHovered || isCompact || isNative`.
-- Raw DOM APIs without an `isWeb` guard.
-- Spacing values outside the scale. `padding: 20` and `gap: 10` are wrong.
-- Color changes for disabled state. Opacity only.
-- Destructive actions without `confirmDialog`. Restart, remove, archive, and any future destructive action are confirmed.
-- Bespoke status pills. `<StatusBadge>` is the pill primitive.
-- Raw `Modal` for a focused task. `<AdaptiveModalSheet>` is the modal primitive.
-- Importing `ActivityIndicator` directly. `<LoadingSpinner>` is the loading primitive.

-# Designing Features
+# Design
 
-How to think through a feature before writing code.
+Tokens — every color, font size, weight, spacing step, radius, icon size — live in `packages/app/src/styles/theme.ts`.
 
-## Start from the user
+---
 
-Even for backend work, start from the user's perspective:
+## 1. Character
 
-- What problem does this solve?
-- What triggers it? User action, schedule, event?
-- What does success look like from the user's perspective?
-- What data does it need? Where does that data come from?
+Paseo is minimal, spacious, quiet, confident. Whitespace is deliberate. Nothing crowds, nothing decorates, nothing apologizes. A row, a label, a control. That is the bar.
 
-## Map existing code
+The app is calm so the user's work is not. Every visual decision serves either _act on this_ or _understand this_ — never _look at this_.
 
-Before designing anything new, understand what exists:
+Consistency comes from component reuse, not from hand-matching styles across surfaces. A row in the projects list, a row in settings, and a row in a modal are the same component, not three implementations that happen to look alike. When two surfaces do the same semantic thing in two different ways, one of them is wrong.
 
-- Where does similar functionality live?
-- What patterns does the codebase already use?
-- What layers exist? (See [architecture.md](./architecture.md))
-- What types and data shapes are already defined?
+---
 
-New features rarely mean only new code. Usually they require modifying existing interfaces, extending existing types, or refactoring to accommodate the new functionality. Identify what needs to change, not just what needs to be added.
+## 2. Component reuse
 
-## Define verification before implementation
+A semantic element used in three or more places is a primitive. One of a kind is a screen.
 
-Before designing the solution, define how you'll know it works:
+Primitives live in `packages/app/src/components/ui/` and `packages/app/src/components/headers/`. Card and row layout live in `packages/app/src/styles/settings.ts`. Section structure lives in `packages/app/src/screens/settings/settings-section.tsx`.
 
-- What tests will prove this feature is correct?
-- At what layer? Unit, integration, E2E?
-- What's the simplest way to verify the core behavior?
+A pressable styled to look like a button is wrong; the button is `<Button>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/button.tsx`). A bare `<Text>` styled to look like a section header is wrong; the section header is `<SettingsSection>` (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/settings-section.tsx`). A custom `Modal` for a confirmation is wrong; the confirmation is `confirmDialog` (`packages/app/src/utils/confirm-dialog.ts`). A hand-rolled overflow menu is wrong; the menu is `<DropdownMenu>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/dropdown-menu.tsx`). A hand-rolled status pill is wrong; the pill is `<StatusBadge>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx`).
 
-If you can't define verification, you don't understand the feature well enough yet.
+Before adding a new component, read `components/ui/`. The primitive usually exists.
 
-## Design the shape
+---
 
-### Data
+## 3. Hierarchy
 
-- What types are needed?
-- Use discriminated unions — make impossible states impossible
-- One canonical type per concept (see [coding-standards.md](./coding-standards.md))
+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`.
 
-### Layers
+Weight has three tiers, applied by role:
 
-- What belongs in each layer?
-- Where are the boundaries?
-- What does each layer expose to the layer above?
+- **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`).
+- **Content** uses `fontWeight.normal`. This applies to settings rows (`packages/app/src/styles/settings.ts`), sidebar primary list-item titles (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:2680-2686`, `packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:572-578`), `<Button>` text (`packages/app/src/components/ui/button.tsx:80-84`), `<StatusBadge>` text (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx:56-60`), and `<SidebarCallout>` titles (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-callout.tsx:175-180`).
 
-### Interactions
+The rule, condensed: text that _names_ a surface or a group is `medium`. Text that lives _inside_ a surface or a group is `normal`. Top-of-screen titles are `<ScreenTitle>`, which is lighter still.
 
-- How does data flow through the system?
-- What triggers what?
-- Where do side effects happen?
+Foreground is for the thing being acted on: row titles, section headings, the selected sidebar item. `foregroundMuted` is for context: hints, descriptions, secondary metadata, idle sidebar items, placeholders, status text.
 
-### Refactoring
+Accent is the one CTA per surface. A `<Button variant="default">` filled with `accent` appears at most once on a page. Most pages have zero — settings is mostly toggles and text, the workspace pane is mostly content, the chat composer is the input itself.
 
-- What existing code needs to change?
-- Is existing code testable enough? If not, that's part of the plan.
+Destructive is a color, not a click. Restart-daemon and remove-host are `<Button variant="outline">` in the row trailing slot; the destructive surface only appears inside the `confirmDialog` (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:541-547`). Workspace archive opens a confirm dialog before any red appears (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`). Red appears after the user has indicated intent.
 
-## Create a concrete plan
+---
 
-Once the design is clear:
+## 4. Buttons
 
-1. **Acceptance criteria** — specific, verifiable outcomes (not "should work well" but "returns X when given Y")
-2. **Ordered steps** — what to build first (usually: types, then lowest layer, then up)
-3. **What to refactor** before adding new code
-4. **How to verify** each step
+The button is `<Button>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/button.tsx`). It has five variants. Each has one job.
 
-## Principles
+`default` is the one primary action on a surface — filled with `accent`. At most one per page. The primary slot inside an `<AdaptiveModalSheet>` and the highlighted action on the welcome screen are the canonical uses.
 
-- **Fit, don't force** — new code should fit existing patterns, or refactor first
-- **Simple** — the best design is the simplest one that works
-- **Verify early** — define how to test before designing the implementation
+`secondary` is the paired action when two actions carry equal weight — filled with `surface3`. The component default is `secondary`, which matches its frequency in the codebase.
+
+`outline` is the low-frequency action that lives on a row — transparent with `borderAccent`. Restart, Remove, Update on host detail (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:585-594`).
+
+`ghost` is structural and non-committal — no border, no fill. Back arrows, header toggles, "Load more" footers (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:54-63`), more-affordances. Ghost is used when the affordance is part of the chrome, not a decision.
+
+`destructive` is filled with `destructive`. It only appears inside a confirm. The button on the page is `outline`; the destructive button is the confirm button inside the dialog.
+
+Sizes: `xs` for ultra-tight inline triggers. `sm` for any button sitting in a row. `md` is the page default. `lg` is reserved for large standalone CTAs.
+
+A `<Pressable>` wrapping a `<Text>` is a sixth variant. It is wrong. `<Button>` accepts `style`, `textStyle`, `leftIcon`, `disabled`, `size`, and `variant`.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Borders
+
+Borders group, separate, or rarely emphasize.
+
+A logical block of related rows lives inside a card — one border around the whole group. The card primitive is `settingsStyles.card`; the keyboard-shortcuts dialog uses the same shape inline (`packages/app/src/components/keyboard-shortcuts-dialog.tsx:68-73`). The border defines what belongs together.
+
+Rows after the first inside a card carry `settingsStyles.rowBorder` — a single top border. The first row never has one. The same divider pattern appears in the keyboard-shortcuts dialog rows (`packages/app/src/components/keyboard-shortcuts-dialog.tsx:74-83`). Rows do not need their own background to feel separated.
+
+A list that is itself the page content — sidebar items in `sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`, the workspace list, the agent list (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx`) — uses spacing and surface, not borders, to separate items. Rows-in-a-card is an interior pattern; lists-as-pages are not.
+
+Pane chrome — the workspace pane header, the file-explorer header, the diff pane header — uses a single bottom border to separate the header from the content (`packages/app/src/components/git-diff-pane.tsx:2328-2331`). One border, no shadow.
+
+`borderAccent` is reserved for the outline button. Inputs use `border`. Single-thing borders are wrong; a single bordered element is either a card with one row (use the card) or it does not need a border.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Pickers
+
+Five primitives. The pick is determined by option count, the need to search, and how the picker is anchored.
+
+`<DropdownMenu>` is for a small fixed set anchored to a trigger. Theme picker, kebab menus on workspace and project rows (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:684-770`), row "more" menus. Items can be async (`status: "pending"`) and can include destructive entries. Under ~10 options where the user knows what they're looking for.
+
+`<Combobox>` is for a large or searchable list. Host switcher in the sidebar footer, model selector in the composer, branch switcher in the workspace header (`packages/app/src/components/branch-switcher.tsx`). The user types to find the option, or the list is long enough to scroll.
+
+`<ContextMenu>` is for right-click and long-press on a target. The row is the trigger; there is no visible affordance. Used for incidental actions on workspace rows in the sidebar (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`).
+
+`<AdaptiveModalSheet>` is for a focused task. Multi-field forms (`packages/app/src/components/add-host-modal.tsx`, `packages/app/src/components/pair-link-modal.tsx`, `packages/app/src/components/project-picker-modal.tsx`), confirmations with detail, anything that earns a backdrop. Bottom sheet on compact, centered card on desktop. Raw `Modal` is wrong for any of these.
+
+`confirmDialog` is for destructive yes/no and imperative confirmation. Promise-based: `await confirmDialog({ destructive: true, ... })`. Anything where a wrong click loses work.
+
+Three themes is `DropdownMenu`. Thirty hosts is `Combobox`. A label and a value is `AdaptiveModalSheet`. "Are you sure?" is `confirmDialog`.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Density and rhythm
+
+Settings detail pages, the projects detail page, and any list+detail content sit inside a centered, max-width 720 column (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx`, `packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`). Lines stay readable, the eye does not have to track wide horizontal distances. Form modals carry their own narrower content frame (`packages/app/src/components/add-host-modal.tsx`).
+
+Workspace and chat surfaces use the full width — these are working surfaces, not reading surfaces. The composer carries `MAX_CONTENT_WIDTH` from `packages/app/src/constants/layout.ts` to keep lines readable while letting the workspace pane fill the rest.
+
+Sections sit apart. `<SettingsSection>` owns its own bottom margin; the next thing is wrapped in another `<SettingsSection>`. The agent-list `sectionHeading` carries the same `marginTop`/`marginBottom` rhythm (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:511-517`). Adding `marginBottom` to a section is wrong.
+
+Cards inside a section sit closer than sections. Rows inside a card touch — only the divider separates them. The rhythm is page → spacious; section → spacious; card → tight.
+
+Rows have generous vertical padding: roughly 16px of content plus 16px of vertical padding for settings rows, 8–12px for sidebar list items where many rows must fit. Compressing rows below the established density to fit more on the screen is wrong. Too many rows means more cards or more sections, not smaller rows.
+
+The whitespace is the design.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Responsiveness
+
+Compact-first. The small case is designed; the large case adds chrome around it.
+
+The list+detail pattern is canonical and reused across surfaces. The settings shell (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx`) and the projects screen (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`) implement it identically:
+
+- On compact: full-screen list with `<BackHeader>` at the top. Tapping a row pushes a full-screen detail with its own `<BackHeader>` that returns to the list.
+- On desktop: a 320px sidebar on the left holds the list with `surfaceSidebar` background. The content pane on the right holds the selected detail with `<ScreenHeader>`, `<HeaderIconBadge>`, and `<ScreenTitle>`.
+
+The branching is one `useIsCompactFormFactor()` check at the top of the screen component. The list and the detail are the same components in both layouts; only the framing changes.
+
+The workspace screen (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`) follows a different but parallel rule: tabs collapse on compact, panes split on desktop. The sidebar (`packages/app/src/components/left-sidebar.tsx`) is overlaid on compact and pinned on desktop.
+
+A new list+detail feature copies the settings shell. A new workspace-shaped feature copies the workspace shell. Inventing a third shape happens in design review, not in a PR.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Copy and voice
+
+Sentence case. "Pair a device", "Danger zone", "Restart daemon", "Inject Paseo tools", "No sessions yet", "Load more". Proper nouns retain casing — Paseo, Beta, Stable, Local. Title case is wrong.
+
+No trailing periods on row titles, labels, or buttons. No trailing period on a single-clause hint: "What happens when you press Enter while the agent is running" (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx:271-272`). Periods exist inside multi-sentence prose: "Restarts the daemon process. The app will reconnect automatically."
+
+Empty-state strings are short noun phrases or short sentences: "No projects yet", "Select a project", "No sessions yet" (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:74-76`), "Host not found".
+
+Buttons are imperative: Save, Cancel, Restart, Remove, Update, Install update, Add host, Load more. In-flight labels are present-participle with a literal three-dot ellipsis: "Saving...", "Restarting...", "Removing...", "Loading...".
+
+Error copy is direct. "Unable to remove host" (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:697`), not "Sorry, we couldn't remove the host." Recovery instructions are concrete: "Wait for it to come online before restarting." Errors describe state; they do not editorialize.
+
+Terminology:
+
+- Workspace, never "checkout".
+- Host, except where the user-facing concept is the daemon process itself ("Restart daemon").
+- Project, not "repo" or "repository".
+- Provider, not "model provider".
+- Session and agent are distinct: a session is a historical entry in `sessions-screen.tsx`; an agent is a live entity in the workspace.
+
+---
+
+## 10. States
+
+Loading is inline by default. `<LoadingSpinner size={14} color={foregroundMuted} />` sits next to the thing it relates to (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:227-231`). Page-level loading is a centered `<LoadingSpinner size="large">` (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:69-72`). Card-level loading is a single short line, not a spinner. In-row dropdown items use `<DropdownMenuItem status="pending" pendingLabel="Removing...">`; the menu item handles its own pending state.
+
+Empty states are short noun phrases. Centered, muted, one or two lines. Sessions screen pairs the empty noun with a single ghost button to navigate back (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:74-81`); that pairing is the maximum elaboration. Illustrations and CTAs disguised as empty states are wrong.
+
+Inline errors are a single sentence in `palette.red[300]` `xs`, sitting under the field or inside the card it relates to (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:115-119`).
+
+Page-level alerts — informational notices, success confirmations, warnings, or recoverable errors that need a small visible block on the page — use `<Alert>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/alert.tsx`). Variants: `default`, `info`, `success`, `warning`, `error`. The chrome is quiet by design: a 1px tinted border, transparent background, a small variant-tinted icon, the title in the variant accent, the description in `foregroundMuted`. Actions go in the `children` slot as `<Button variant="outline" size="sm">` — recovery actions are low-frequency and outline keeps them quiet alongside the alert's accent (`packages/app/src/screens/project-settings-screen.tsx`). One `<Alert>` at a time per region.
+
+Sidebar callouts — cross-cutting alerts that apply across the whole app, like worktree setup, Rosetta install, and desktop update available — register through `useSidebarCallouts()` and render in the left sidebar via `<SidebarCallout>` (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-callout.tsx`). The chrome (top-border-only, full-width action buttons) is tuned for that ~280px column. Canonical sources: `packages/app/src/components/worktree-setup-callout-source.tsx`, `packages/app/src/desktop/updates/rosetta-callout-source.tsx`, `packages/app/src/desktop/updates/update-callout-source.tsx`. Never import `<SidebarCallout>` into a page — that's what `<Alert>` is for.
+
+Imperative errors are `Alert.alert("Error", "Unable to ...")` (the React Native `Alert` API, not this component) for failures that interrupt the flow and have no place on the page.
+
+Disabled state is `opacity: theme.opacity[50]` on the outer pressable. Color changes for disabled state are wrong; a disabled button is the same button, dimmer.
+
+Partial failure (a list mostly fine but one source errored) is a bordered banner above the list, listing each failure in red-300 `xs` (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx:151-159`). The list still renders.
+
+State surfaces at the smallest scope it affects. Field error stays under the field; page error is a banner; flow-stopping error is an `Alert`.
+

+
+## 11. List rows
+
+The row anatomy is a content column with an optional trailing slot. Inside a card the row is `settingsStyles.row`. Inside a sidebar list the row carries its own padding and `borderRadius.lg` per item (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:2614-2625`).
+
+Rows that drill into a detail lead with a chevron in the trailing slot (`ChevronRight`, `iconSize.sm`, `foregroundMuted`). The whole row is the `<Pressable>`. Pair-device row (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:644-668`), provider row (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:92-132`), project row in the projects list. Chevron means navigation.
+
+Kebab menus (`<DropdownMenu>` with `<MoreVertical size={14} />` trigger) are for actions on the row, not navigation. Trigger style: `padding: 2`, `borderRadius: 4`, hover background `surface2`. Menu position: `align="end"`. Items use `<DropdownMenuItem leading={<Icon size={14} color={foregroundMuted} />} ...>`. Visibility is `isHovered || isTouchPlatform` — hover-revealed on web, always visible on native (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:684-770`).
+
+A row may carry both a chevron and a kebab when both navigation and row-level actions apply. Chevron sits at the end; kebab sits before it.
+
+Switches and segmented controls also sit in the trailing slot. A row that both navigates and toggles is a `<Pressable>` with a `<Switch>` in the trailing slot — the switch calls `event.stopPropagation()` so the row press does not fire (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:92-132`). Sidebar items that hold a status dot, a count, and a kebab follow the same rule (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`).
+
+Selected state on rows in a desktop list+detail uses `surfaceSidebarHover` as the background (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`). Selected state on rows in the sidebar list uses `surface2` (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:563-571`).
+
+---
+
+## 12. Status pills and badges
+
+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 — 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.
+
+The bespoke pills in `packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:97-116`, `packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:607-632`, and `packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:2889-2894` are drift to be removed. New code uses `<StatusBadge>`.
+
+---
+
+## 13. Forbidden
+
+- `fontWeight.medium` on row titles, body text, button labels, badge text, or `<SidebarCallout>` titles. Medium is reserved for the structural-label tier described in §3 — section labels, modal/sheet titles, dense metadata emphasis, and tight action labels. Anything else is `normal`. `<ScreenTitle>` is responsive `400/300` and is never overridden.
+- `<Pressable>` wrapping `<Text>` to make a button. `<Button>` exists.
+- Bare `<Text>` for a section header inside settings. `<SettingsSection>` exists.
+- A "Settings" CTA on a detail page. Detail pages are settings; settings is reached from the sidebar, the host entry, or a row's kebab menu.
+- The word "checkout" in UI strings or identifiers. The term is "workspace".
+- New color tokens or hardcoded hex outside the palette. Status pill rgba backgrounds are the documented pattern (§12), not a license.
+- Placeholder text dimmed beyond `foregroundMuted`. No extra opacity, no italics, no ghost-text.
+- `onPointerEnter` and `onPointerLeave`. They do not fire on native iOS. Hover uses Pressable's `onHoverIn`/`onHoverOut` gated with `isHovered || isCompact || isNative`.
+- Raw DOM APIs without an `isWeb` guard.
+- Spacing values outside the scale. `padding: 20` and `gap: 10` are wrong.
+- Color changes for disabled state. Opacity only.
+- Destructive actions without `confirmDialog`. Restart, remove, and future destructive actions are confirmed. Worktree archive is confirmed only when git runtime reports uncommitted changes or unpushed commits; clean pushed worktrees archive immediately.
+- Bespoke status pills. `<StatusBadge>` is the pill primitive.
+- Raw `Modal` for a focused task. `<AdaptiveModalSheet>` is the modal primitive.
+- Importing `ActivityIndicator` directly. `<LoadingSpinner>` is the loading primitive.

 npm run dev
 ```
 
-The dev script automatically picks an available port. Both the server and Expo app run in a Tmux session — see `CLAUDE.local.md` for system-specific session details.
+`scripts/dev.sh` runs the daemon and Expo together via `concurrently`, fronted by [`portless`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/portless) so each service is reachable at a stable name like `https://daemon.localhost` / `https://app.localhost` instead of a fixed port. The underlying TCP ports are ephemeral — never hardcode them. (Windows uses `scripts/dev.ps1`, which still binds the daemon to `localhost:6767` directly.)
 
-### Running alongside the main checkout
+### PASEO_HOME
 
-Set `PASEO_HOME` to isolate state when running a second instance (e.g., in a worktree):
+`PASEO_HOME` is the directory that holds runtime state (agents, sockets, daemon log). Resolution rules:
+
+- The **server itself** (e.g. when launched by the desktop app or `npm run start`) defaults to `~/.paseo` (see `packages/server/src/server/paseo-home.ts`).
+- **`npm run dev` from a git worktree** derives a stable home like `~/.paseo-<worktree-name>` and, on first run, seeds it from `~/.paseo` by copying agent/project JSON metadata and `config.json`. Checkout/worktree directories are not copied.
+- **`npm run dev` from the main checkout** (not a worktree) uses a fresh `mktemp` directory under `$TMPDIR` and removes it on exit. Set `PASEO_HOME` explicitly to keep state across runs.
+
+Override knobs:
 
 ```bash
-PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo-blue npm run dev
+PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo-blue npm run dev          # explicit home
+PASEO_DEV_SEED_HOME=/path/to/home npm run dev # seed from a different source home
+PASEO_DEV_RESET_HOME=1 npm run dev            # clear and reseed the derived worktree home
 ```
 
-- `PASEO_HOME` — path for runtime state (agents, sockets, etc.). Defaults to `~/.paseo`.
-- In git worktrees, `npm run dev` derives a stable home like `~/.paseo-<worktree-name>`.
-  On first run, it seeds that home from `~/.paseo` by copying agent/project JSON metadata
-  and `config.json`; actual checkout/worktree directories are not copied.
-- `PASEO_DEV_SEED_HOME=/path/to/home npm run dev` seeds from a different source home.
-- `PASEO_DEV_RESET_HOME=1 npm run dev` clears and reseeds the derived worktree home.
+### Daemon endpoints
 
-### Default ports
+- Stable daemon launched by the desktop app: `localhost:6767`.
+- `npm run dev` (macOS/Linux): portless URLs only — read them from the `dev.sh` banner or `portless get daemon` / `portless get app`.
+- `npm run dev` (Windows): `localhost:6767` for the daemon.
 
-In the main checkout:
+In any worktree-style or portless setup, never assume default ports.
 
-- Daemon: `localhost:6767`
-- Expo app: `localhost:8081`
+### Desktop renderer profiling
 
-In worktrees or with `npm run dev`, ports may differ. Never assume defaults.
+`npm run dev:desktop` starts Electron with Chromium remote debugging enabled on
+`http://127.0.0.1:9223` so renderer CPU profiles can be captured through CDP.
+Override the port with `PASEO_ELECTRON_REMOTE_DEBUGGING_PORT` when `9223` is busy.
+
+### Desktop macOS compositor watchdog
+
+macOS display sleep can leave Chromium's GPU-process display link — the vsync
+source that drives frame production — stuck on a stale display. The compositor
+then stops producing frames and the window looks frozen: unresponsive to clicks
+and keys even though the renderer and every process stay alive. It self-recovers
+after a few minutes, which is too long for a foreground app.
+
+`setupDarwinCompositorWatchdog`
+(`packages/desktop/src/window/compositor-watchdog/index.ts`) guards against
+this. It polls the renderer for frame production every couple of seconds and,
+after a sustained stall while the window is visible and unlocked, restarts the
+GPU process so Chromium rebuilds the display link. The probe is skipped while
+the screen is locked or the window is hidden or minimized, since a window
+legitimately stops producing frames then.
 
 ### Daemon logs

+# Floating Panels
+
+Anchored popovers — tooltips, hover cards, dropdowns, autocompletes — that visually
+float above an anchor element on iOS, Android, and web. This doc captures the
+non-obvious traps. It is **not** a tutorial; it assumes you have seen the
+canonical files and are trying to add or change one.
+
+## Canonical files
+
+| File                                     | Use case                                                          |
+| ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `components/ui/combobox.tsx`             | Anchored picker with search; mobile falls back to bottom sheet    |
+| `components/ui/tooltip.tsx`              | Non-interactive hover/long-press tooltip                          |
+| `components/workspace-hover-card.tsx`    | Desktop-web hover card with measure + computePosition + Portal    |
+| `components/ui/autocomplete-popover.tsx` | Slash-command autocomplete anchored to the focused composer input |
+
+Each handles a different mix of concerns: combobox owns input focus, tooltip is
+non-interactive, hover-card is web-only desktop, autocomplete keeps the composer
+input focused while its scrollable list lives in a Portal. There is no shared
+"floating panel" primitive yet — when a fifth use case shows up we can revisit;
+until then prefer copying the closest file and trimming.
+
+## Gotcha 1 — Android touch hit-test by parent bounds
+
+On Android, a child View whose bounds fall outside its parent's bounds renders
+correctly (with `overflow: visible`, the default) but **does not receive touch
+events**. `ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent` filters touches by the parent's hit
+rect first, then iterates children. A touch in the overflowing region never
+reaches the parent, let alone the child. iOS and web do not share this rule —
+iOS hit-test descends into overflowing children, web uses standard CSS pointer
+events. This is the bug that put autocomplete on this path: the popover was
+positioned `bottom: 100%` of its parent and worked on iOS/web for months;
+Android touches sailed straight through to the chat scroll view behind it.
+
+Two escape hatches in the codebase:
+
+- **`Modal`** (combobox, tooltip on native) — opens a new Android window, so
+  hit-testing starts fresh in that window. Side effect: a Modal opening on
+  Android can detach the IME from an underlying TextInput. Fine for combobox
+  (it has its own input) and tooltip (no input). **Not** fine for autocomplete
+  (the composer's input must stay focused so the user keeps typing).
+- **`<Portal>` from `@gorhom/portal`** (hover-card, autocomplete-popover) —
+  hoists the React subtree to a fixed mount point whose bounds cover the
+  screen. Same window, same IME, hit-test works because the new parent is
+  full-screen. This is the right default when you must keep IME attachment.
+  Choose the host by layer: app-global overlays use the root host; content
+  overlays can use the current `FloatingPanelPortalHost` so sliding sidebars
+  cover them.
+
+Choose Modal vs Portal by whether the underlying input can lose its keyboard.
+
+## Gotcha 2 — Portal breaks lifecycle and coordinate-system inheritance
+
+A Portal escapes Android's hit-test, but it also escapes two things you were
+quietly relying on:
+
+- **Lifecycle.** The portal'd subtree mounts at the app root, not inside your
+  component's natural ancestor chain. When the user navigates away, your
+  component may stay mounted (offscreen, in a tab) — the popover stays with it.
+  Gate `visible` on a screen-focus signal. For panes inside `agent-panel`, the
+  `isPaneFocused` prop already exists and flips on pane switches; pass
+  `visible={isYourOwnVisible && isPaneFocused}`.
+- **Transforms.** The composer is wrapped in a Reanimated `Animated.View` with
+  `translateY: -keyboardShift` (see `use-keyboard-shift-style.ts`). The chat
+  content has the same transform applied (`agent-panel.tsx:939`). They move
+  together because they share the SharedValue. A portal'd popover is outside
+  the composer tree — it does not get that transform unless you apply it
+  yourself.
+- **Layering.** The default root host renders after app content, so it sits
+  above compact sidebars. Content overlays that must sit below sidebars should
+  use the current `FloatingPanelPortalHost`.
+- **Coordinate systems.** `measureInWindow` gives window coordinates. A Portal
+  renders inside its host, not necessarily at window origin. Position anchored
+  content relative to the host: `anchorRect - hostRect`. This is what
+  `measureFloatingPanelPortalHost()` is for.
+
+The fix for transforms is Gotcha 3.
+
+## Gotcha 3 — Reanimated transforms vs `measureInWindow`
+
+`measureInWindow` returns the view's _current_ screen position. In theory that
+includes Reanimated-applied transforms (Reanimated updates native view
+properties, and Android's `getLocationInWindow` reads transformed coords). In
+practice it's racy — the measurement may snapshot mid-animation, and on Android
+with Reanimated worklets the result is not always stable.
+
+If the panel cannot stay inside the transformed ancestor, do not try to track
+the keyboard by re-measuring on every frame. Instead,
+**slave the popover's transform to the same SharedValue the composer uses**:
+
+1. Snapshot `openShift = shift.value` at the moment you measure the anchor.
+2. Apply `useAnimatedStyle(() => ({ transform: [{ translateY: openShift.value - shift.value }] }))`
+   to the popover wrapper.
+
+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.
+
+Re-measure on `Keyboard.addListener('keyboardDidShow'|'keyboardDidHide')` only
+to refresh the snapshot if the keyboard was mid-transition when the popover
+opened.
+
+## Gotcha 4 — Host-relative positioning before platform offsets
+
+The generic anchored-overlay rule is:
+
+1. Measure the anchor with `measureInWindow`.
+2. Measure the Portal host with `measureFloatingPanelPortalHost(hostName)`.
+3. Position with anchor coordinates relative to the host:
+
+```ts
+left = anchorRect.x - hostRect.x;
+bottom = hostRect.height - (anchorRect.y - hostRect.y) + offset;
+```
+
+Do this before adding any platform offset. If anchor and host are both measured
+with `measureInWindow`, Android's status-bar coordinate behavior cancels out.
+Only add a status-bar offset when the render surface is not measured in the same
+coordinate system. See `tooltip.tsx` for that separate case.
+
+## Gotcha 5 — The two-measurement flash
+
+If your popover needs `top` (or `left`) computed from both:
+
+- the anchor's screen position (`anchorRect` from `measureInWindow`), **and**
+- the popover's own size (`contentSize` from `onLayout`),
+
+then a naïve implementation will flash through three positions on every open:
+
+1. **Frame 1** — render with `top: -9999` (or any placeholder) while waiting
+   for either measurement. Wrapper has no `width`, so the inner content lays
+   out at its natural (often narrow) intrinsic width.
+2. **Frame 2** — `anchorRect` lands. Wrapper now has `width: anchorRect.width`.
+   But the stale `onLayout` from frame 1 has already set `contentSize` to the
+   narrow-width dimensions. `top = anchorRect.y - wrongHeight - gap` — visible
+   at the wrong spot.
+3. **Frame 3** — real `onLayout` fires with the correct width. `contentSize`
+   updates. Position snaps to the right place.
+
+The visible jump in frame 2 is the flash. Two pieces solve it, and you need
+both:
+
+- **Do not mount the floating content until `anchorRect` is set.** Return
+  `null` until then. This prevents the bad-width onLayout from happening at
+  all.
+- **Once `anchorRect` is set but `contentSize` isn't, render the wrapper with
+  the final width but `opacity: 0`.** The first visible paint is at the
+  correct position. This is the combobox pattern —
+  `shouldHideDesktopContent` at `combobox.tsx:481, 876`. **Do not** use
+  `top: -9999` as the placeholder; the layout work still happens at -9999 and
+  any subsequent state-flash is visible when you flip back.
+
+The "render invisible to measure, then reveal" pattern is the canonical
+solution to chicken-and-egg positioning in this codebase. Reach for it before
+anything fancier.
+
+## Recipe for a new anchored panel
+
+Before you write a new one, ask:
+
+1. **Can the underlying input lose its keyboard?** If yes, use Modal (simpler).
+   If no, use Portal.
+2. **Does the panel need to dismiss on screen change?** Almost always yes —
+   gate `visible` on an upstream focus prop (`isPaneFocused` or similar).
+3. **Is the panel rendered in a Portal host?** Measure the host too. Never use
+   raw window coordinates as local Portal coordinates.
+4. **Does the panel sit above something that moves with the keyboard?** If
+   yes, slave a Reanimated transform to the same SharedValue (Gotcha 3).
+   If no, you can probably skip the transform entirely.
+5. **Will the panel's content height vary?** If yes, you need both
+   `anchorRect` and `contentSize` for positioning → apply Gotcha 5 (return
+   null until anchor, then opacity-0 until contentSize). If no — content has
+   a known fixed max height — you might be able to use bottom-anchored
+   positioning (`bottom: windowHeight - anchor.y + gap`) and skip the
+   `contentSize` round-trip entirely. **But only if the height is genuinely
+   bounded**. Verify before you commit.
+
+Then copy the closest canonical file and trim.

-## Open question — per-host project entry (TBD)
-
-A project aggregates workspaces across daemons. The projects screen and project-settings screen need a name for "one row in the project list per (project, daemon)". `ProjectPlacementPayload` is **per-workspace**, so it isn't this thing — but the noun "placement" could naturally extend (`ProjectDaemonPlacement`, or just "placements grouped by daemon"). The in-progress `ProjectCheckout` type (`packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:4`) is also per-workspace today, even though the settings UI selector treats it per-daemon (matched on `serverId` alone) — so the code is currently inconsistent with itself.
-
-Candidates: (1) extend "placement" to the (project, daemon) bundle, (2) drop the wrapper type and use `{ host, project, workspaces[] }` plus descriptive UI copy ("project · host X · 2 online"). Recommendation: option (2) — no new noun, use existing terms compositionally. Do not introduce "Checkout" / `ProjectCheckout` as the canonical name.

+# Hover
+
+Read this before writing any hover code. Every hover regression we ship is one of the three failure modes below, and every one of them is solved by the same canonical pattern. The pattern is hardwon — it survived every other shape we tried — so copy it, don't reinvent it.
+
+## The pattern
+
+The canonical implementation lives in `packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`, in the workspace row (around line 1369). When in doubt, open that file and copy the shape.
+
+```tsx
+//
+//   ┌─ Plain View. Tracks hover via pointerenter/pointerleave.
+//   │
+<View
+  style={styles.workspaceRowContainer}
+  onPointerEnter={handlePointerEnter}
+  onPointerLeave={handlePointerLeave}
+>
+  <Pressable                          // ┐ Separate inner Pressable.
+    onPress={handlePress}             // │ Handles press only.
+    onPressIn={...}                   // │ Never has onHoverIn/onHoverOut.
+    onPressOut={...}                  // ┘
+    style={workspaceRowStyle}
+  >
+    <View style={styles.workspaceRowMain}>
+      <View style={styles.workspaceRowLeft}>…</View>
+      <WorkspaceRowRightGroup isHovered={isHovered} />
+      {/*                    └─ Reveals content based on hover state. */}
+    </View>
+  </Pressable>
+</View>
+```
+
+Five things make this work. Every one of them matters.
+
+1. **Hover lives on a plain `View`, not a `Pressable`.** `Pressable` carries its own internal hover state machine. Nested `Pressable`s fight over it. A plain `View` just dispatches DOM events — no state machine, no fighting.
+2. **Press lives on a _separate_ inner `Pressable`.** Hover and press never share an element. The two state machines never see each other.
+3. **`onPointerEnter` / `onPointerLeave` are non-bubbling**, mouseenter-style by W3C spec. They fire only when crossing the outer `View`'s bounding box. Crossing into descendants — including descendant `Pressable`s (the kebab menu's buttons, a copy button, a tooltip target) — does **not** fire `pointerleave`. This is why nesting `Pressable`s inside is safe.
+4. **The row has a fixed `minHeight`.** When content swaps in on hover (kebab replacing a diff stat), both occupy the same fixed slot. Zero layout shift, zero geometry flicker.
+5. **The outer `View` has nothing but `position: relative`.** It exists only to be the hover target. All real layout lives on the inner `Pressable`. The hover-tracker is a sealed envelope around the row; layout changes inside it never leak out and re-enter through the side.
+
+That's the whole pattern. Internalize it.
+
+## When you skip the pattern, here is what breaks
+
+### Failure mode 1 — Nested Pressables fight over hover state
+
+If you put `onHoverIn` / `onHoverOut` on a `Pressable` that has another `Pressable` anywhere inside it (a copy button, an icon button, a nested action), the moment the cursor moves onto the inner `Pressable`, the inner one's hover state machine claims hover and the outer one's `onHoverOut` fires. Your reveal state flips off. The reveal hides. The cursor is no longer over the hidden reveal, so it ends up back over the trigger area. The outer's `onHoverIn` fires. Loop.
+
+This is the most common hover bug shipped in this codebase, by a wide margin. It is what the workspace row is structured to avoid. The fix is not "be clever about handlers" — it's "don't put hover on a Pressable that contains other Pressables."
+
+> **Rule:** the hover-tracking element is a plain `View` with `onPointerEnter` / `onPointerLeave`. Any `Pressable`s — including ones you forgot are Pressables, like `TurnCopyButton`, icon buttons, anything that handles a tap — live inside it.
+
+### Failure mode 2 — The hovered state changes the trigger's geometry
+
+Symptom: you hover a button, it changes appearance, then flickers between hovered and not-hovered without the cursor moving.
+
+Cause: the hover state changed the size or position of the trigger. The cursor was on the original element; the new layout shifts or shrinks it out from under the cursor; `onHoverOut` fires; state reverts; original layout returns; cursor is back over the trigger; `onHoverIn` fires; loop.
+
+Common variants:
+
+- Hover state changes the trigger's `width`, `height`, `padding`, or `borderWidth`.
+- Hover state mounts/unmounts a child that pushes the trigger to a new position.
+- Hover state swaps the trigger for a different element type, remounting it.
+
+Fixes, in preferred order:
+
+1. **Don't change the trigger's outer geometry on hover.** Change colors, opacity, borders that don't take layout space (`outlineWidth` on web, absolutely positioned overlays), or child content that fits inside the same fixed box. Never change `width`, `height`, `padding`, or `borderWidth` of the hover target itself.
+2. **Hide with `opacity` + `pointerEvents`, not conditional rendering**, when the hidden element lives inside the trigger. Mounting/unmounting on hover reflows the layout under the cursor.
+3. **Pin the hit area.** Set a fixed `minHeight` / `minWidth` on the trigger so internal swaps (icon-A becomes icon-B on hover) leave the bounding box unchanged. The workspace row's `minHeight: 36` is what makes the kebab/diff-stat swap stable.
+
+### Failure mode 3 — Revealed content lives outside the hover trigger
+
+If hovering element A reveals element B, B must be **inside** A's hover trigger. If B is a sibling, the moment the cursor moves from A toward B it crosses out of A's bounding box, `pointerleave` fires, B disappears.
+
+Wrong:
+
+```tsx
+<View>
+  <View onPointerEnter={...} onPointerLeave={...}>     {/* hover trigger */}
+    <Bubble />
+  </View>
+  <TrailingRow />                                       {/* OUTSIDE — sibling, not child */}
+</View>
+```
+
+Right:
+
+```tsx
+<View onPointerEnter={...} onPointerLeave={...}>      {/* hover trigger */}
+  <Bubble />
+  <TrailingRow />                                      {/* INSIDE — child */}
+</View>
+```
+
+Any gap between A and B (margins between siblings inside the same parent) is part of the parent's bounding box, so the cursor stays inside the hover region while crossing it. No bridge needed.
+
+If A and B genuinely can't share a parent — B portals into a different layer, floats above other content — see [Section: real gaps](#real-gaps-with-floating-panels) below.
+
+## Native fallback
+
+Hover doesn't exist on touch devices. Anything you hide behind hover must have a non-hover path on native and compact layouts:
+
+```tsx
+const showControls = isHovered || isNative || isCompact;
+```
+
+`isNative` and `isCompact` come from `@/constants/platform` and `@/constants/layout`. Don't use `Platform.OS === "ios"` as a proxy.
+
+`onPointerEnter` / `onPointerLeave` are DOM events. They do not fire on native. You do not need to gate them — on native, hover is unreachable anyway and visibility is driven by `isNative` / `isCompact` in your show-the-controls expression above. This is why the workspace row's pointer events are not wrapped in `if (isWeb)`.
+
+## What about `Pressable.onHoverIn` / `onHoverOut`?
+
+It's fine when a `Pressable` styles **itself** based on its own hover — for example, an icon button that changes color on hover. That's self-contained. The render-prop `<Pressable style={({ hovered }) => ...}>` does the same thing more cleanly and is the preferred form.
+
+It is **not** fine for tracking hover to drive state **outside** that `Pressable` (revealing a sibling, opening a tooltip, showing a kebab) when there is any other `Pressable` inside — because that's Failure Mode 1.
+
+Heuristic: if your hover state is going to be `useState`'d and read by anything other than the same `Pressable`'s own style, do not use `onHoverIn` / `onHoverOut`. Use the canonical pattern.
+
+## Real gaps with floating panels
+
+Sometimes the revealed content can't live inside the trigger — a hover card portals into a different layer, a tooltip floats above other content, a popover renders into a `Portal`. There's a real visual gap the user has to cross with the cursor.
+
+For this case, use `useHoverSafeZone` (`packages/app/src/hooks/use-hover-safe-zone.ts`). It computes a rectangular "bridge" between the trigger and the content; while the pointer is inside trigger, content, or the bridge, the card stays open. A short grace timer absorbs jitter at the edges. The canonical caller is `packages/app/src/components/workspace-hover-card.tsx`.
+
+Don't roll your own. The math is annoying, the edge cases (pointer leaves window, drag in progress, content unmounts) are subtle, and we already paid for the hook.
+
+## Pre-PR checklist
+
+Before opening a PR that touches hover:
+
+- [ ] Hover-tracking is on a plain `View` with `onPointerEnter` / `onPointerLeave`, **not** on a `Pressable` that wraps anything pressable.
+- [ ] Any press behavior lives on a separate inner `Pressable` that does not have `onHoverIn` / `onHoverOut`.
+- [ ] The hover trigger's bounding box contains every element the user might mouse into while interacting with the feature.
+- [ ] Hovered state does **not** change the trigger's outer geometry (`width`, `height`, `padding`, `borderWidth`, mount/unmount of siblings that shift it). Internal swaps fit inside a fixed `minHeight` / `minWidth`.
+- [ ] Revealed content inside the trigger uses `opacity` + `pointerEvents`, not conditional rendering, if mounting it would reflow the trigger.
+- [ ] Visibility on native and compact layouts works without hover (`isHovered || isNative || isCompact`).
+- [ ] If the revealed content sits in a separate layer (portal, floating panel), `useHoverSafeZone` is wired up.
+- [ ] You opened the dev server, hovered the trigger, and slowly moved the mouse along **every** revealed element — including any visible gaps — without losing hover state.

+# OpenCode Global Event Verification
+
+Date: 2026-05-11
+
+## Objective
+
+Replace the OpenCode provider's per-directory `/event` stream with OpenCode's `/global/event` stream and remove the EOF polling recovery path that was added for the `/event` regression.
+
+## Environment
+
+- `opencode --version`: `1.14.46`
+- `which opencode`: `/Users/moboudra/.asdf/installs/nodejs/22.20.0/bin/opencode`
+- `node --version`: `v22.20.0`
+- `npm --version`: `10.9.3`
+
+Each OpenCode test file was run independently with:
+
+```bash
+/opt/homebrew/bin/timeout 420s npx vitest run <file> --maxWorkers=1
+```
+
+## Baseline
+
+Before the provider change, the OpenCode matrix had 16 passing files and 4 failing files:
+
+- `packages/cli/tests/e2e/opencode-invalid-model.test.ts`: Vitest reports "No test suite found in file".
+- `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/opencode-agent.test.ts`: `plan mode blocks edits while build mode can write files` did not observe a completed tool call.
+- `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/opencode-initial-prompt-wait.real.e2e.test.ts`: brittle unavailable-model assertion received an auth failure from the upstream API.
+- `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/opencode-send-interrupt.real.e2e.test.ts`: timed out waiting for an interrupted sleep tool call, even though the recent bash tool call status was `failed`.
+
+## Post-Change Result
+
+After switching to `/global/event`, removing polling recovery, and replacing the brittle initial-prompt model case with `opencode/big-pickle`, the OpenCode matrix had 18 passing files and 2 baseline-equivalent failing files:
+
+- `packages/cli/tests/e2e/opencode-invalid-model.test.ts`: unchanged; Vitest still reports "No test suite found in file".
+- `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/opencode-send-interrupt.real.e2e.test.ts`: unchanged; still times out after the interrupted sleep tool call is already marked `failed`.
+
+The previously failing provider unit file now passes, and `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/opencode-initial-prompt-wait.real.e2e.test.ts` passes with `opencode/big-pickle`.
+
+One live reasoning-dedup matrix run returned no reasoning content; an immediate targeted rerun passed. This appears model-output dependent rather than related to the event-stream change.

+Existing direct providers: `claude` (in `providers/claude/agent.ts`), `codex` (`codex-app-server-agent.ts`), `opencode` (`opencode-agent.ts`), `pi` (`providers/pi/agent.ts`). The dev-only `mock` provider (`mock-load-test-agent.ts`) is also direct.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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. 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`.
+
+Pi RPC extension UI dialog requests (`select`, `input`, `editor`, `confirm`) are bridged into Paseo question permissions and answered with `extension_ui_response`. 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 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.
+
+Draft metadata lookups should avoid creating provider sessions when the upstream provider has top-level APIs for that metadata. Prefer `AgentClient.listModels`, `listModes`, `listCommands`, or `listFeatures` over creating a scratch `AgentSession`; scratch sessions can show up as empty native sessions in provider import/history UIs.
+
+---
+
+## Provider Snapshot Refresh Contract
+
+The daemon keeps provider snapshots per resolved working directory. Missing or blank cwd resolves to the user's home directory. Workspace selectors and old model/mode list requests should pass the cwd that will launch the provider so providers with project-specific models or modes are probed in the right context. Settings/provider management intentionally uses the home-directory snapshot.
+
+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.
+
+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 home-directory 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.
+
+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.
+
+Boundary tests should assert observable behavior: cold reads may call provider availability/model/mode discovery for that cwd; warm reads and registry replacement must not; explicit workspace refreshes affect only one cwd; settings refresh wipes all scopes but immediately refreshes only home.

 There are two supported ways to ship from `main`:
 
 1. **Direct stable release**: you are ready to ship the current `main` commit to everyone immediately.
-2. **Beta flow**: you want public test builds first, but you are not ready for the website, npm, or production mobile release flows to move yet.
+2. **Beta flow**: silent release candidates. Betas don't touch the changelog, don't move the website, and don't publish npm or production mobile builds.
 
 ## Standard release (patch)
 
 Before running any stable patch release command:
 
 - Make sure the intended release commit is already committed to `main` and the working tree is clean.
-- Make sure local `npm run typecheck` passes on that commit.
+- **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 `npm run release:patch` as a substitute for checking whether the current commit is actually ready.
 
 ```bash
 npm run release:patch
 ```
 
-This bumps the version across all workspaces, runs checks, publishes to npm, and pushes the branch + tag (triggering desktop, APK, and EAS mobile workflows).
+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`, and `Release Notes Sync` on GitHub Actions. 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 `release-mobile.yml` in this repo.
 
-If asked to "release paseo" without specifying major/minor, treat it as a patch release.
+**Releases are always patch.** "Release paseo", "release stable", "ship stable", and similar always mean a patch bump from the previous stable. Never bump minor or major to trigger a build, ever — minor and major bumps are reserved for genuinely larger product cuts and require an explicit user instruction with the word "minor" or "major". If you find yourself reaching for `release:minor` to retrigger a failed build, you are doing the wrong thing — push a retry tag instead (see "Fixing a failed release build" below).
 
-Use the direct stable path when the current `main` changes are ready to become the public release immediately.
+**Stable means stable.** If the user says "stable" or "ship stable", do not ask whether they want a beta first. They picked stable; treat it as a direct stable release. Only run the beta flow when the user explicitly says "beta".

+## Mobile builds (EAS)
+
+iOS and Android store builds are not in `.github/workflows`. They are triggered by the EAS GitHub app the moment the `v*` tag is pushed:
+
+- **Android (Play Store)** — EAS builds with profile `production` and auto-submits to the Play Store via `eas submit` (EAS-managed credentials, no Fastlane).
+- **iOS (TestFlight + App Store)** — EAS builds with profile `production`, uploads to TestFlight, and a Fastlane lane submits the build for App Store review.
+- **Android APK (GitHub Release asset)** — separate, via `.github/workflows/android-apk-release.yml`. This is the only Android-related workflow that lives in this repo.
+
+There is no `release-mobile.yml` in this repo. Earlier versions of these docs referenced one — that workflow was removed and the EAS GitHub app handles tag triggering directly.
+
+### Watching mobile builds from the terminal
+
+Use the EAS CLI from `packages/app/`:
+
+```bash
+cd packages/app
+
+# Recent builds (newest first). Pipe to jq for status only.
+npx eas build:list --limit 8 --non-interactive --json | jq '.[] | {platform, status, appVersion, gitCommitHash}'
+
+# Filter by platform.
+npx eas build:list --platform ios --limit 5 --non-interactive --json
+npx eas build:list --platform android --limit 5 --non-interactive --json
+
+# Inspect a specific build.
+npx eas build:view <build-id>
+
+# Stream logs for a build.
+npx eas build:view <build-id> --json | jq '.logFiles[]'
+```
+
+A build's `gitCommitHash` must match the release tag commit. `status` walks through `NEW` → `IN_QUEUE` → `IN_PROGRESS` → `FINISHED` (or `ERRORED`/`CANCELED`).
+
+Once a build is `FINISHED`, EAS auto-submits it to the store: Android via the `submit` block in `eas.json` (EAS-managed Play Console credentials), iOS via the Fastlane `submit_review` lane (uploads to TestFlight, then submits for App Store review). To confirm the submission landed, run `npx eas build:view <build-id>` and open the `Logs` URL it prints — the build's Expo dashboard page has a Submissions section listing each attempt with its store response. App Store Connect (TestFlight tab → ready for review) and the Play Console (Internal testing / Production tracks) are the final ground truth.
+
+### Babysitting mobile after a release
+
+The user rarely opens the Expo dashboard. A failed EAS build can sit silently until users complain about a stale version. After every stable release, set up a long-delay babysit that re-checks both EAS builds and GitHub Actions for the release tag. If anything is `ERRORED` or `FAILED`, surface it immediately. If everything is `FINISHED`/`SUCCESS`, confirm and stop.
+
+**Use a heartbeat schedule, never a new-agent schedule.** Babysitting fires back into the current conversation as a wake-up prompt — `target: "self"` in `mcp__paseo__create_schedule`. Never use `target: "new-agent"`. A new agent spawns a fresh conversation the user has to find and read; a heartbeat surfaces the build status inline in the conversation that owns the release, where it is impossible to miss. If you find yourself reaching for `new-agent` for a release babysit, you are about to ship a status report into a void.
+
+Pattern:
+
+```jsonc
+// mcp__paseo__create_schedule arguments
+{
+  "name": "vX.Y.Z release babysit heartbeat",
+  "every": "15m",
+  "maxRuns": 8, // covers ~2h of build + store-submission window
+  "target": "self", // heartbeat, NOT "new-agent"
+  "cwd": "/path/to/paseo",
+  "prompt": "Heartbeat: check vX.Y.Z release builds. Run gh run list + eas build:list, report concisely; flag any ERRORED/FAILED/CANCELED.",
+}
+```
+
+Tight cadence on purpose. The first run fires immediately, giving a near-real-time status check before the conversation closes. Subsequent runs at 15-minute intervals catch transitions quickly: a failed EAS build that errors at +20m should not wait until +50m to surface. Keep the prompt short — the heartbeat is a status probe, not a research task — and have it bail out as soon as everything is green so the remaining runs do not generate noise.
+
+## Release notes on GitHub
+
+The GitHub Release body is populated automatically by the `Release Notes Sync` workflow (`.github/workflows/release-notes-sync.yml`). It triggers on every `v*` tag push and on any push to `main` that touches `CHANGELOG.md`, then runs `scripts/sync-release-notes-from-changelog.mjs` to mirror the matching changelog entry into the release body. You don't need to write release notes on GitHub manually — keep `CHANGELOG.md` correct and the workflow will sync it. To force a re-sync, dispatch the workflow with the tag input.

+# RPC Namespacing
+
+New WebSocket session RPCs use dotted names with the direction as the final segment:
+
+```ts
+checkout.github.set_auto_merge.request;
+checkout.github.set_auto_merge.response;
+```
+
+The namespace reads left to right:
+
+- Domain: `checkout`
+- Provider or subsystem: `github`
+- Operation: `set_auto_merge`; this segment is a verb, not a noun. If you would name an RPC `noun.request`, name it `get_noun.request` instead.
+- Direction: `request` or `response`
+
+Use dots, not slashes. Dots are protocol namespaces; slashes imply paths or transport routing.
+
+## Request/Response Pairs
+
+For ordinary correlated RPCs, a `.request` has a matching `.response` with the same prefix. The daemon client may derive the response type mechanically:
+
+```ts
+checkout.github.set_auto_merge.request;
+// -> checkout.github.set_auto_merge.response
+```
+
+Most new RPCs should follow this shape. If a request does not have a one-to-one response, call that out in the code near the schema.
+
+## Message Shape
+
+Requests keep their parameters at the top level:
+
+```ts
+{
+  type: "checkout.github.set_auto_merge.request",
+  cwd: "/repo",
+  enabled: true,
+  mergeMethod: "squash",
+  requestId: "req_123"
+}
+```
+
+Responses put correlated result data under `payload`:
+
+```ts
+{
+  type: "checkout.github.set_auto_merge.response",
+  payload: {
+    cwd: "/repo",
+    enabled: true,
+    success: true,
+    error: null,
+    requestId: "req_123"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Keep `requestId` in both request and response payloads. It is the correlation key.
+
+## Provider Namespacing
+
+Provider-specific behavior belongs under the provider segment:
+
+- `checkout.github.*` for GitHub-specific checkout operations
+- `checkout.gitlab.*` for future GitLab-specific checkout operations
+
+Do not put GitHub-specific enums or semantics into generic checkout RPC names. A generic RPC should only exist when the behavior is genuinely provider-neutral.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+The existing flat RPC names remain part of the protocol until they are intentionally migrated:
+
+```ts
+checkout_pr_merge_request;
+checkout_pr_merge_response;
+```
+
+Do not add new flat names. When migrating old RPCs, keep protocol compatibility rules in mind:
+
+- Add the new names first.
+- Gate new feature behavior through `server_info.features.*` when an old host cannot support it.
+- Keep old names accepted until the compatibility window expires.
+- Mark shims with `COMPAT(...)` and a removal date.

+- Server: `packages/server/src/test-utils/vitest-setup.ts` loads `.env.test`, sets `PASEO_SUPERVISED=0`, and disables Git/SSH prompts. Add new global env shims here, not in individual tests.
+- App: `packages/app/vitest.setup.ts` provides `expo`/`__DEV__` shims and stubs a few native-only modules (`react-native-unistyles`, `react-native-svg`, `expo-linking`, `@xterm/addon-ligatures`). Stubbing here is for modules that have no meaningful Node behavior — not a license to mock app code.
+
+## Running tests locally
+
+Test suites in this repo are heavy. Running them in bulk freezes the machine, especially with multiple agents in parallel.
+
+- Run only the file you changed: `npx vitest run <path> --bail=1`
+- Never run `npm run test` for a whole workspace unless asked.
+- For a broad sweep, redirect to a file and read it after: `npx vitest run <path> --bail=1 > /tmp/test-output.txt 2>&1`
+- Never re-run a suite another agent already reported green.
+- For full-suite confidence, push to CI and check GitHub Actions.
+- Never run the full Playwright E2E suite locally — defer whole-suite verification to CI. Targeted Playwright specs are allowed when you changed or need to prove that specific flow.

 [`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.
 
+## Dynamic Pixel Styles On Web
+
+Avoid feeding changing pixel values such as `{ top, left }`, `{ maxHeight }`, or `{ minWidth }` into the `style` prop of Unistyles-managed React Native components on web. The web runtime hashes each distinct style object by value and appends a CSS rule to `#unistyles-web`; those rules are not reclaimed during the page lifetime, so pointer-driven positioning can turn into steady stylesheet growth.
+
+Use the inline style escape hatch below for high-churn values. Do not split a component into plain/web/native variants just to keep one measured value out of the CSS registry. Raw DOM wrappers are reserved for real DOM infrastructure, such as terminal hosts, virtualized web rows, or third-party drag wrappers.
+
+## Inline Style Escape Hatch
+
+When a style value is high-churn and must bypass Unistyles' CSS registry, keep the component on the normal Unistyles path and mark only that style object with `inlineUnistylesStyle`.
+
+```tsx
+import { inlineUnistylesStyle } from "@/styles/unistyles-inline-style";
+
+const styles = StyleSheet.create({
+  thumb: {
+    position: "absolute",
+  },
+});
+
+<View style={[styles.thumb, inlineUnistylesStyle({ height, transform: [{ translateY }] })]} />;
+```
+
+This uses Unistyles' own animated-style lane: ordinary styles still become Unistyles classes, while the marked style object stays in React Native's inline style array. Use it for measured geometry, scroll or drag transforms, and pressed/hovered/open state where generating CSS classes is the wrong ownership boundary.
+
+Do not split a component into plain and Unistyles variants just to handle one high-churn value. The component remains a normal Unistyles component; only the specific style object escapes.
+
+When a reusable component has a prop whose whole job is dynamic geometry, make that prop the seam. For example, `FloatingSurface.frameStyle` and `FloatingScrollView.style` own their own escape hatch so menu, tooltip, hover-card, and combobox callers can stay declarative instead of knowing about Unistyles internals.
+
 ## Main Gotcha: `contentContainerStyle`
 
 `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. The upstream tutorial calls this out directly in its [ScrollView Background Issue](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/tutorial/settings-screen#scrollview-background-issue) section.

 This is the pattern used by the settings screen: the screen background lives on a normal `View style={styles.container}`, while the scroll content container only carries layout.
 
-When the content container itself needs themed behavior, wrap the component with [`withUnistyles`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/with-unistyles):
+In practice the wrapper-`View` pattern is the one we use. Across the app, `withUnistyles` is now reserved for wrapping leaf components — mostly lucide icons (`ThemedActivityIndicator`, `ThemedChevronDown`, …) and small third-party components like `MarkdownWithStableRenderer` — so they pick up theme-reactive `color`/`tintColor` props without re-rendering their parent.
 
-```tsx
-import { ScrollView } from "react-native";
-import { StyleSheet, withUnistyles } from "react-native-unistyles";
-
-const ThemedScrollView = withUnistyles(ScrollView);
-
-<ThemedScrollView style={styles.scrollView} contentContainerStyle={styles.contentContainer} />;
-```
-
-`withUnistyles` extracts dependency metadata from both `style` and `contentContainerStyle`, subscribes to the relevant theme/runtime changes, and re-renders only that wrapped component when needed. Its [auto-mapping behavior for `style` and `contentContainerStyle`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/with-unistyles#auto-mapping-for-style-and-contentcontainerstyle-props) is the reason it fixes themed `ScrollView` content containers. Reach for it when wrapper-view layout would be awkward or when a third-party component needs theme-aware non-`style` props mapped through Unistyles.
+In principle, [`withUnistyles`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/with-unistyles) can also wrap a `ScrollView` to make `contentContainerStyle` theme-reactive via its [auto-mapping behavior for `style` and `contentContainerStyle`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/with-unistyles#auto-mapping-for-style-and-contentcontainerstyle-props). We previously did this on the welcome screen and hit the `> *` child-selector leak documented below; we have since moved the welcome screen to the wrapper-`View` pattern.

 The sharp edge: Unistyles hashes styles by value.

Importing `baseColors`, theme-name constants, or `type Theme` is fine when the value is intentionally static or type-only.
+
+## Reanimated `Animated.View` + Dynamic Styles Crashes
+
+Do not apply `StyleSheet.create((theme) => ...)` styles to a Reanimated `Animated.View`. Unistyles wraps styled components in a `<UnistylesComponent>` and patches native view props from C++ via the ShadowRegistry. Reanimated also reaches into the same native node from its worklet runtime. When a theme change fires, both systems try to mutate the same node and the app crashes with `Unable to find node on an unmounted component.` This was a real iOS sidebar crash on theme toggle (commit `4896cfe9`).
+
+Fix: keep static positioning on the `Animated.View` in plain React Native `StyleSheet`, and pass theme-dependent values (e.g. `backgroundColor`) as inline style from `useUnistyles()` — the inline path is acceptable here because no other escape works:
+
+```tsx
+import { StyleSheet as RNStyleSheet } from "react-native";
+import Animated from "react-native-reanimated";
+import { useUnistyles } from "react-native-unistyles";
+
+const positionStyles = RNStyleSheet.create({
+  sidebar: { position: "absolute", inset: 0, width: 280 },
+});
+
+function Sidebar() {
+  const { theme } = useUnistyles();
+  return (
+    <Animated.View
+      style={[positionStyles.sidebar, animatedStyle, { backgroundColor: theme.colors.surface1 }]}
+    />
+  );
+}
+```
+
+This is one of the rare places `useUnistyles()` is the right tool: there is no `withUnistyles(Animated.View)` equivalent, the affected component is small, and the alternative is a crash.
