-## Release source and CI
+## Main stays open
 
-The default release source is `origin/main`. Fetch `origin`, then record the
-resolved commit. The default release checkout is a clean local `main` whose
-`HEAD` equals `origin/main`.
+Merge normal PRs into `main` at any time, including while a beta soaks or a release is being
+finalized. Each release builds in a short-lived release workspace, and its published tag records
+the shipped source.
 
-An explicit user instruction can select another ref, such as a hotfix commit or
-tag. Resolve that ref once and apply every source, diff, and CI check to that
-commit instead of `origin/main`.
+## Choosing a path
 
-Before making release-preparation commits, confirm the existing CI run for the
-resolved commit is green. Pending CI is watched to completion. Release
-preparation then stays local through the changelog, any explicitly requested ACP
-catalog update, lockfile preparation, and the version commit. After approval,
-commit the prepared inputs locally and run the release command. Its branch and
-tag push is the one remote release batch and starts CI for the complete release
-commit.
+The user decides when the changes on `main` warrant a release and how much risk it takes:
 
-## Release branch discipline
+1. **Direct stable release** for a low-risk batch of polish and bug fixes. Stable desktop updates
+   already ramp over 36 hours (see [Staged rollout](#staged-rollout-stable-channel)), and store
+   review often takes about a day, with no guaranteed timing.
+2. **Beta flow**, the default for changes that need testing. Release candidates on the `beta`
+   channel. Each beta folds into the series' single changelog entry, publishes npm only on the
+   explicit `beta` dist-tag, and stays behind the Stable/Beta switch on `/download`.
 
-While you finalize a release on `main`, use a temporary `next` branch for work intended for the following
-release. This applies to both beta and stable releases.
+A beta follows these defaults, which the user can explicitly override:
 
-- Create each new `next` from freshly fetched `origin/main`. Reuse it while active.
-- "This goes to next" means create the PR against `next` or retarget an existing
-  PR, and keep that destination through delivery.
-- Keep `next` current by merging `origin/main` into it as release fixes land.
-  Avoid rebasing this shared branch because agents and open PRs depend on its history.
-- After the release ships, bring `next` up to date and open a `next` → `main` PR.
-  Pass CI and merge without squashing away the individual PR commits needed for
-  the changelog. Retarget remaining PRs based on `next` to `main` and delete the integrated
-  `next`. Create it fresh when needed again.
+- Soak a beta at least 24 hours before promotion. Soak longer for risky or breaking changes, or
+  while feedback is open. Changes added in a later beta get their own soak; earlier soak time does
+  not count for them.
+- A follow-up beta carries regressions, fixes, and polish for what that beta delivers. Unrelated
+  work on `main` and pre-existing bugs wait for a later release unless the user explicitly selects
+  them.
+- Promotion ships the tested beta's product content unchanged and does not pull from `main`.
+  Adding a product change needs the user's explicit selection and a new beta, which soaks again.
+- During a soak, ship urgent stable regressions and compatibility or provider model updates as a
+  [stable hotfix](#release-base-and-source) from the latest stable tag. The beta keeps its own
+  pace.
 
-**Setup still needed:** PR checks run for every base branch, but CI, Docker, and Nix
-push runs target only `main`, and GitHub permits only squash merges. Enable
-required-check protection for `next`, CI on its pushes, and merge commits for the
-integration PR. Handle PR
-base changes (`edited` events) so retargeting runs checks against the new base;
-GitHub's default PR events do not cover this. Deployment triggers stay unchanged.
+npm dist-tags are independent pointers:
 
-### Hotfix from a release tag
+- A beta release publishes with `--tag beta` and moves only `beta`; `latest` remains on the
+  newest stable.
+- A stable release publishes to `latest`. Move `beta` to it as well when the stable version is
+  newer than the version `beta` points to, which covers promotions and direct stable releases, so
+  `@getpaseo/cli@beta` users never sit behind stable. A stable hotfix on an older line leaves
+  `beta` on the active newer beta.
 
-If `main` contains changes you do not want to release, branch from the affected
-release tag and cherry-pick only the required fixes. Run CI on that branch, then
-use the normal release flow with it as the explicit source, choosing a new patch
-or beta version. Ensure the fixes and changelog also reach `main` and any active
-`next`, preserving newer development and version changes there. This is a
-short-lived hotfix branch, not another maintained release track.
+## Release base and source
+
+The release base is the tag or commit a release workspace starts from. The release source is the
+base plus any approved cherry-picks, and every source, diff, and CI check uses it.
+
+| Release                                                  | Base                                                         | Changes on top               |
+| -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------- |
+| Starting release: first beta of a line, or direct stable | `origin/main`, captured once                                 | None                         |
+| Follow-up beta                                           | The selected published beta tag, normally the series' latest | Approved commits from `main` |
+| Promotion                                                | The beta tag being promoted                                  | None by default              |
+| Stable hotfix                                            | The latest appropriate stable tag                            | Approved commits from `main` |
+
+An explicit user instruction can select another base.
+
+1. Fetch `origin` with tags and resolve the base to one commit.
+2. Create the release workspace through Paseo MCP on a new branch from the base, named
+   `release/vX.Y.Z` or `release/vX.Y.Z-beta.N` for the version being cut. Run the release from
+   this workspace: `release:push` pushes `HEAD` to the current branch.
+3. Cherry-pick the approved commits in their `main` order with `git cherry-pick -x`, so each
+   commit records the `main` commit it came from. Include the prerequisites the inventory listed.
+   Resolve conflicts within the approved changes and report how. A resolution that needs new
+   behavior is a scope addition: surface it for selection.
+4. Confirm CI for the release source. When the source is a commit whose CI already passed (the
+   captured `origin/main`, or the beta tag being promoted), use that run and watch pending CI to
+   completion. Otherwise push the release branch and run `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`,
+   because CI push runs target only `main`.
+5. Keep the changelog, any explicitly requested ACP catalog update, lockfile preparation, and the
+   version commit local until the go-ahead. The release command pushes the release branch and tag
+   as one batch, and the tag push starts the release workflows. Then run
+   `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>` so CI covers the complete release commit.
+6. [Reconcile `main`](#reconcile-main).
+
+A stable hotfix can take the version a patch beta line would promote to, such as `0.13.3`
+shipping while `0.13.3-beta.2` soaks. Never republish or reuse a shipped version. Continue the line
+as the next unused patch beta, `0.13.4-beta.1`, from the tested beta tag. No `version:all:*` mode
+computes that from a prerelease, so follow the [manual steps](#manual-step-by-step) with
+`npm version 0.13.4-beta.1 --include-workspace-root --message "chore(release): cut %s"` and
+`npm run release:publish:beta`. Record the tested beta tag as its source so its soak still counts
+for the unchanged content.
+
+## Release inventory
+
+When the user asks for a follow-up beta or a promotion, list what `main` has that the base does
+not, then get the batch approved. There is no release label or queue.
+
+1. Find the commits on `origin/main` whose patches are not in the base tag:
+
+   ```bash
+   git log --cherry-pick --right-only --no-merges --format='%h %s' <base-tag>...origin/main
+   ```
+
+   Patch equivalence recognizes commits already cherry-picked into the tag, so trust the tag
+   content over PR state or branch names.
+
+2. Present a short include/defer list. Link each PR and give one plain reason. List separately the
+   prerequisites an included PR depends on and anything that adds scope beyond what the beta
+   delivers. For each fix that shipped in a stable hotfix after the beta's base, confirm the beta
+   preserves its behavior, directly or through a superseding change. List the missing ones for
+   explicit selection; adding one to a promotion needs a new beta.
+3. Wait for the user to approve the batch, unless an explicit selection or autonomous
+   authorization they already gave covers it.
+
+For a promotion, every item defaults to defer.
+
+## Reconcile main
+
+After the release push, open a PR into `main` that brings in what shipped and keeps newer
+development on `main`:
+
+- The shipped `CHANGELOG.md` and `CHANGELOG.zh-CN.md` entries, exactly as tagged. A beta or
+  promotion entry replaces the series entry on `main`. A stable hotfix on an older line goes
+  below any newer entries.
+- The shipped version in every `package.json` and `package-lock.json`, unless `main` already
+  carries a newer version, plus the F-Droid changelog files a stable release generates.
+- No claims about unshipped work: a shipped entry describes only the tagged content, and notes
+  `main` holds for changes that have not shipped stay out of it.
+
+Delete the release branch once the PR merges. The tag is the record of shipped source; Paseo
+maintains no release track besides `main`.

 ## Invariants (the easy-to-break ones)
 
+- **Replay is incremental across the daemon and SDK.** The worker retains 1,000 history rows. Capable clients request their configured history; the worker bounds it by retained history. Older apps retain their own 200-row request. Explicit SDK history demand is unchanged against older ANSI hosts, which apply their existing 500-row ceiling. Begin resets once, chunks keep a streaming UTF-8 decoder/parser, and each renderer suppresses generated replies while parsing replay. Never concatenate capable replay chunks to feed the renderer.
 - **Coalescers are leading+trailing throttles.** The first chunk after an idle window flushes immediately (synchronously); only sustained bursts wait for the trailing timer. Reverting to trailing-only adds a full window (~5ms) to every keystroke echo.
-- **Output coalescing happens in the worker, before IPC.** One `process.send` per pty chunk was a main-loop flood under build output. Non-output messages (snapshot/snapshotReady/titleChange/exit) must flush the coalescer first so ordering is preserved.
+- **Output coalescing happens in the worker, before IPC.** One socket frame per pty chunk was a main-loop flood under build output. Non-output messages (snapshot/snapshotReady/titleChange/exit) must flush the coalescer first so ordering is preserved.
+- **Replay delivery is isolated per viewer.** Live worker output never waits for app delivery. Each daemon stream owns its bounded live tail and revision deduplication; a slow or failed replay cannot pause another viewer of the same terminal.
+- **Replay geometry belongs to the parser queue.** Native measurements and web fits must leave the captured dimensions intact through every chunk's commit. Apply the latest measured size after replay, before live bytes; clear, replacement and disposal must release that geometry ownership. A layout effect must not resize the renderer directly during replay.
 - **Coalesced output carries the LAST chunk's revision.** Snapshot replay dedup (`replayTerminalOutputAfterSnapshot`) skips buffered output with `revision <= replayRevision`; a merged batch with a lower revision would be wrongly skipped (lost output).
-- **The input-mode tracker runs once per process boundary, not per hop.** The worker owns the authoritative tracker; the daemon caches the replay preamble from `getTerminalState` responses and `snapshotReady` messages. Do not reintroduce a per-chunk `feed()` on the daemon main loop.
+- **The input-mode tracker runs once per process boundary, not per hop.** The worker owns the authoritative tracker; the daemon caches current modes from ordered worker events and adoption. A replay response carries capture-time modes for its viewer; it must not overwrite the shared cache after newer live output. Apply that viewer's preamble before its buffered live bytes. Do not reintroduce a per-chunk `feed()` on the daemon main loop.
 - **Snapshot catch-up is backpressure-gated.** A stream falls back to a full snapshot only when `outputBytesSinceSnapshot > MAX_TERMINAL_OUTPUT_FRAME_BYTES` (256KB) **and** the client transport reports `bufferedAmount > MAX_CLIENT_BUFFERED_BYTES` (4MB). A client that keeps draining streams continuously, no matter how much output is produced. Before this gate existed, every 256KB of build output dropped a frame and forced a full JSON cell-grid snapshot (~200k objects across IPC) — the historical source of spiky lag and GC hitches.
 - **Plugin daemon sessions report IPC queue bytes.** Their virtual socket increments `bufferedAmount` before `process.send` and decrements it only in the send callback. Text and binary frames share that ordered queue, so the normal snapshot catch-up and physical high-water gates remain valid for server-side plugin SDK traffic.
 - **Client output writes are not serialized per frame.** The emulator runtime drains contiguous plain writes straight into xterm (which buffers internally). Only barrier ops (`clear`, `snapshot`, `suppressInput` writes) wait — behind a zero-length sentinel write — so resets can't interleave with in-flight output.

 Never more than two workers run. A new worker launches only when none is current, none is incompatible and fewer than two run.

When you bump the version, keep a previous-version adapter so the draining worker can still be driven, and drop the adapter for the version before that.

That is what lets any daemon close any worker: a kill stop sends `shutdown` to a newer worker it cannot otherwise drive. Protocol 5 hard cuts unreleased protocols 1 through 4, including the acknowledgement-based replay contract: those workers are obsolete and close. For future versions, keep a previous-version adapter so the draining worker can still be driven, and drop the adapter for the version before that.
 
 Tests stand up other versions with `PASEO_TERMINAL_WORKER_PROTOCOL_OVERRIDE`, read by the worker. It is test-only.
 
+## Display replay
+
+The worker keeps the headless xterm model and generates ANSI. A replay request emits begin metadata (dimensions, retained history, revision and input modes), at most 64 KiB per data chunk, and end. Live output keeps flowing independently during replay. Capture is synchronous with PTY callbacks; flush the output coalescer before the cut so a later batch never includes bytes already in replay. Retained-history metadata counts the worker history before the request limit.
+
+The worker paces replay writes on its local socket; the daemon synchronously queues each event into the application's bounded transport. App network delivery does not extend the worker's request deadline. There is no per-chunk acknowledgement or second replay delivery queue in the daemon. The physical application transport owns its 64 MiB high-water close, so a backed-up app cannot hold worker capture open. Each daemon viewer still holds at most 4 MiB of live output during capture, then drops revisions already present in the worker replay. Capture failure and tail overflow affect only that viewer; PTYs and healthy viewers keep running.
+
+Live traffic that fills the shared worker socket beyond 4 MiB disconnects the stalled controller. Reconnection adopts the surviving sessions and requests fresh replay for existing streams. Readiness does not require a revision: adoption announces readiness without one, while the replay capture supplies the revision used for deduplication.
+
+The SDK advertises `terminal_chunked_replay` only because it decodes begin/data/end. Capable clients receive these events directly; the daemon collects one Restore frame only for older ANSI clients. The SDK normalizes an older host's single Restore into the same lifecycle. Capture stays a worker request; bootstrap readiness uses `hasOutput`, not a transported grid.
+
 ## Running from its own copy
 
 A worker outlives the installation that started it. An npm or desktop update replaces that installation's files, and the next terminal the old worker creates would load node-pty's `spawn-helper` and the zsh integration from paths that no longer exist. So a built daemon does not launch the worker from its install:
