fix(server): preserve worktree include cleanup

Carry local files and shared state into new worktrees (#2419 )
* feat(server): support symlink worktree includes * refactor(server): simplify worktree include handling * fix(server): constrain worktree include traversal * fix(server): clean up failed worktree branches * fix(server): skip missing worktree include entries * fix(server): make worktree includes best effort * fix(server): skip failed worktree includes * fix(server): harden worktree include planning * fix(server): preserve reused worktree result shape Materialization reports describe one creation attempt, not durable worktree identity. Carry them beside the worktree so newly created and reused results keep the same stable shape. * fix(server): harden worktree include boundaries Replace directory snapshots exactly, keep canonical Git metadata protected, report recovery skips, and only roll back branches owned before worktree creation. * fix(server): follow safe include aliases Traverse canonical in-checkout directory links during glob planning and treat coded revalidation failures as per-entry skips. * fix(server): make include preflight race safe Create fetched checkout refs atomically, retain overlapping copy entries for independent fallback, and protect the full managed-worktree base. * fix(server): preserve staged recovery state Validate completed directory snapshots, retain backups after failed restoration, and derive atomic ref guards from the repository object ID width. * fix(server): preserve partial include progress Keep safe glob matches, enforce recursive-directory types, validate staged roots, and retain OID guards through rollback. --------- Co-authored-by: Mohamed Boudra <boudra.moha@gmail.com>

 # Changelog

-## 0.10.2 - 2026-09-30
+## 0.8.0-beta.1 - 2026-09-08

-### Fixed
+This release considerably extends what plugins can do: complete providers, custom components in the chat, slash commands, settings screens, and agent lifecycle hooks.

- Fixed OpenCode v2 turns longer than five minutes failing with `UND_ERR_HEADERS_TIMEOUT` ([#5674](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/5674))
- Fixed the context meter staying empty during OpenCode v2 turns and disappearing after them ([#5710](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/5710) by [@mcowger](https://github.com/mcowger))
- Fixed OpenCode v2 question cards showing only the header and offering no typed answer ([#5679](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/5679))
- Fixed OpenCode v2 patch edits from GPT models showing as a raw Patch card instead of an edit diff ([#5696](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/5696))
- Fixed completed OpenCode v2 edits showing no diff ([#5609](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/5609))
+The plugin API has a breaking change. Plugins now use separate client and server entries and runtime-owned SDK entry points, so plugins written for 0.7 must follow the [migration guide](https://paseo.sh/docs/plugins/v0.8/migration) before they load on 0.8.

-## 0.8.0 - 2026-09-10
-
-Paseo 0.8 adds plugin header buttons, custom providers, and richer chat components, alongside fixes for desktop updates and mobile keyboards.
-
-**Before upgrading:** the macOS desktop app now requires macOS 13 or newer; Linux and Windows support is unchanged. Plugins written for 0.7 need the [0.8 migration guide](https://paseo.sh/docs/plugins/v0.8/migration), including separate client/server entries and the revised composer pill API.
+- Added provider contributions: a plugin registers a complete provider, directly or through the bundled ACP shim, with its own icon, session settings, permissions, and timeline rendering ([#4314](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4314))
+- Added live timeline items: a plugin renders custom components in the chat by transforming timeline items at render time ([e34aea2](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/commit/e34aea206e6ec7ac2d5fa9766db28fb221ae990c))
+- Added durable timeline rows: a daemon handler appends its own persisted rows to an agent's timeline ([e34aea2](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/commit/e34aea206e6ec7ac2d5fa9766db28fb221ae990c))
+- Added slash commands: a plugin registers commands in the composer that run on the client without a provider turn ([e34aea2](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/commit/e34aea206e6ec7ac2d5fa9766db28fb221ae990c))
+- Added settings screens: a plugin contributes screens under Settings → Plugins from shared settings components, with host-scoped persistence, validation, and Command Center navigation ([#4357](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4357))
+- Added lifecycle hooks: server callbacks observe agent creation, turns, permissions, and archive events, and can answer permissions or send follow-ups ([#4435](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4435))
+- Added agent creation transforms: before hooks rewrite a new agent's provider, model, launch environment, MCP servers, and workspace isolation ([#4435](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4435))
+- Added modal bodies: a plugin owns the whole sheet body with custom padding, ScrollView or FlatList scrolling, horizontal tabs, keyboard-aware inputs, and a clipboard copy action ([#4392](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4392), [#4431](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4431))
+- Added terminals to the SDK: create, list, write, send keys, capture, and kill terminals by workspace ID ([#4358](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4358))
+- Added `paseo.projects.subscribe()` for live project updates ([#3983](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/3983) by [@omercnet](https://github.com/omercnet))
+- Added `agent.respondToPermission()` to answer pending permissions from a plugin ([#3985](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/3985) by [@omercnet](https://github.com/omercnet))
+- Added version requirements: `requirements.paseo` in `paseo-plugin.json` declares the supported Paseo versions, incompatible installs, updates, and reloads are rejected before any code runs, and prerelease Paseo versions satisfy any range their stable core satisfies ([#4430](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4430), [#4452](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4452))
+- Changed plugins to separate `index.client.ts` and `index.server.ts` entries with `client/`, `server/`, and `shared/` directories; plugins written for 0.7 must follow the [migration guide](https://paseo.sh/docs/plugins/v0.8/migration) ([#4206](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4206))
+- Changed the plugin SDK into runtime-owned entry points: `@getpaseo/plugin` for shared code, `@getpaseo/plugin/client` for the app, and `@getpaseo/plugin/server` for the daemon, with crossed imports rejected at compile time ([#4347](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4347) by [@liujin0506](https://github.com/liujin0506), [@panrafal](https://github.com/panrafal))
+- Changed legacy plugin load failures to say the plugin was built for an older Paseo and link to the migration guide ([#4265](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4265))
+- Changed `paseo plugin ls` to report runtime state, source, installed commit, and load errors without contacting a remote ([#4265](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4265))
+- Fixed workspace plugin panels missing from the Explorer tab-rail menu ([#4446](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4446))
+- Added versioned plugin documentation for v0.7 and v0.8 with a migration guide ([#4245](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4245), [#4452](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4452))

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

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

 ## Local daemon trust boundary

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

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

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

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

+An explicit `symlink <path>` entry in a repository's `.worktreeinclude` gives a Paseo-created worktree live access to that source-checkout file or directory. It is useful for local dependencies and caches, but it weakens the usual worktree isolation: agents and lifecycle scripts can modify the source through the link. Paseo validates entries and refuses traversal or destination-link escapes, but the linked source is a deliberate shared-data boundary.
+
 If you expose the daemon beyond loopback, such as by binding to `0.0.0.0`, forwarding it through a tunnel or reverse proxy, or publishing it from a Docker container, you are responsible for restricting and securing that access. Setting a password is strongly recommended in that case.

- The item's `Component` renders directly in the section, with no wrapper, so a fragment or array
-  of rows lays out like separate items while Settings keeps one entry for the block. Footer items
-  are rows between Add project and the footer's icon row. The icon row (Hosts, Import session,
-  Help and support, Settings) is fixed app code, not a contribution slot, so the kit has no icon
-  button.
- `openPopover` opens through the same `PluginPopoverSurface` as header buttons
-  (`plugins/popover.tsx`). Any press inside a `SidebarRow`, including its `trailing` content, moves
-  the menu anchor to that row: a capture-phase `onStartShouldSetResponderCapture` runs before the
-  pressed child claims the touch on native and web, and returns false. Keyboard activation skips
-  the responder system, so the row's own press anchors too. Until a press, the first mounted row
-  holds the anchor. An item that renders no kit component
-  anchors to its section container.
- `SidebarSeparator` reuses the app's separator and cancels the footer's horizontal padding, so
-  the line runs edge to edge in both sections.
- `SidebarRow.trailing` sits in a second `Pressable` beside the row's button, since web cannot nest
-  buttons. Its `onPress` is the row's, so a press on non-interactive trailing content presses the

 Pi RPC extension UI dialog requests (`select`, `input`, `editor`, `confirm`) are bridged into Paseo question permissions and answered with `extension_ui_response`. Pi extensions such as `ask_user` may chain dialogs: for example, a `select` can be followed by an optional-comment `input`. When an `ask_user` tool call declares `allowComment: true`, Paseo presents the selection and optional comment as one question permission, answers Pi's initial `select` immediately, then auto-answers the follow-up optional `input` with the comment the user already supplied (or an empty string).

Fire-and-forget extension UI requests such as notifications are intentionally ignored by the provider adapter unless Paseo grows first-class UI for them.

-OpenCode adapters target v1.14.46 and v2.0.10. V2 rejects binaries older than the tested 2.0.10 SDK at runtime selection. Runtime selection uses the configured command and environment. A recognized version is cached until provider configuration reload; a failed, timed-out, or unrecognized probe retains the v1 path and retries detection on the next operation. Load v2 code and materialize its plugin only after positive v2 selection; v1 sessions remain undecorated. Keep upstream SDK types inside the version-specific adapter. OpenCode owns storage migration; a missing native session must fail resume rather than create a replacement. V2 has no native archive/unarchive operation: archiving affects Paseo only. V1 retains native archiving.
+OpenCode 1 keeps MCP and process environment outside the session boundary. Paseo shares one OpenCode server for ordinary agents and installs a daemon-owned plugin through `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT`. The plugin reads the exact agent environment and caller-scoped Paseo tool catalog from the daemon's private loopback bridge for each OpenCode session. Bridge context lives only in daemon memory and is removed when the Paseo session closes. The content-addressed plugin artifact contains no session data or secrets.

-Use OpenCode v2 execution events to trigger turn completion, with active-state and durable-log reconciliation after admission, reconnect, and while a turn remains active. Do not use `session.wait`: a healthy turn exceeding Node's HTTP headers deadline produces a transport error while OpenCode keeps working. The live event feed has no replay, and shutdown interruption preserves the previous idle outcome, so the session snapshot alone cannot recover missed execution events. Quiet streams are healthy: v2 heartbeats are SSE comments, not application events.
-
-V2.0.4 also removed the activation endpoint that gated a cold location, and a cold location registers its config-derived commands, skills, and providers asynchronously. Wait until `plugin.list` returns a populated inventory before reading the catalog or commands; an empty inventory means the location is still warming. Fail when the readiness deadline expires, including when an inventory request stalls.

-## Release branch discipline
-
-While you finalize a release on `main`, use a temporary `next` branch for work intended for the following

- Create each new `next` from freshly fetched `origin/main`. Reuse it while active.

-  PR, and keep that destination through delivery.
- Keep `next` current by merging `origin/main` into it as release fixes land.
-  Avoid rebasing this shared branch because agents and open PRs depend on its history.
- After the release ships, bring `next` up to date and open a `next` → `main` PR.
-  Pass CI and merge without squashing away the individual PR commits needed for
-  the changelog. Retarget remaining PRs based on `next` to `main` and delete the integrated

Text and binary frames share that ordered queue, so the normal snapshot catch-up and physical high-water gates remain valid for server-side plugin SDK traffic.
 - **Client output writes are not serialized per frame.** The emulator runtime drains contiguous plain writes straight into xterm (which buffers internally). Only barrier ops (`clear`, `snapshot`, `suppressInput` writes) wait — behind a zero-length sentinel write — so resets can't interleave with in-flight output.
- **Find preserves the inspected xterm viewport, including at the live bottom.** Keep its output anchor inside the existing batched write path. Serializing output to preserve a search result would add terminal latency.
 - **Retained terminal tabs in the focused workspace keep their streams.** Hidden mounted terminals continue applying output, so switching tabs does not resubscribe or request a fresh snapshot. The retained-panel LRU bounds the number of live streams; terminals in an unfocused workspace detach.
 - **Terminal size has one daemon-owned claimant.** Focus and direct interaction send a `claim`; later geometry changes from that connection send `update`. A claim transfers ownership even when the dimensions are unchanged, while an update from any other connection is ignored.

It also replaces the Debian installation with the generated RPM through `rpm --install --nodeps` and checks its sandboxed launch under restrictions.
