+    - Plain `z.union()` is forbidden when every branch has a shared literal tag. Use `z.discriminatedUnion()` unless generated-code regression tests prove that specific shape is miscompiled.
+    - `.default()` is acceptable on primitive leaves only. Never put defaults on item schemas for large arrays or big inbound containers.
   - **Feature contract (per-feature):** a new feature may require a new daemon capability. The client detects whether the capability is present and either runs the feature or shows "Update the host to use this." That's it.
     - **No fallback paths.** Don't write a degraded version of a new feature that runs on old daemons. Don't fan out across legacy RPCs to simulate a missing capability. The user upgrades or doesn't get the feature.
     - **No defensive branches scattered through the feature.** Capability detection happens in one place; downstream code reads a clean shape.

 # Contributing to Paseo
 
-Paseo is an opinionated product maintained by one person.
+Paseo is an opinionated product maintained by one person right now.
 
-I read every issue and PR myself, and I am selective about what contributions I accept.
+The product covers a lot of surface: mobile, desktop, web, the daemon, the relay, and both self-hosted and hosted setups.
 
-Good ideas still need to fit the shape of the product: a PR can be technically correct and still not belong in Paseo.
+Contributing takes a lot of context that is very hard to transfer. That's why product, design, architecture, and workflow decisions are currently all made by the maintainer.
 
-Core product, design, architecture, and workflow changes are not accepted.
+## Becoming a maintainer
 
-Follow these rules if you want your PR to be merged:
+There's no formal process to become a maintainer, if you consistently contribute and help out, you'll become one.
+
+Here's the progression:
+
+1. Get involved in the community: answer questions in Discord and on GitHub
+2. Triage bugs: replicate and help fix them
+3. Work on maintainer-approved features
+
+The reason for this progression is so that you can gain all the context you need to take on more responsibility, so that I can see if you have what it takes to be a maintainer.
+
+Learning on the job is fine, I do not care how many years of experience you have, what I care about is that you get the vision and want to contribute.
+

+## Requesting features
+
+If you need a feature implemented, create a Github issue or a thread in Discord.
+
+Explain the problem you want to solve: your use case, where Paseo falls short today, and the flow you expect.

 ## AI assistance
 
-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.
+Using AI to help write code is fine, but you must:
+
+- Ensure your agents read the docs
+- Understand the code you submit
+- Review and test the code yourself

+
+自分のマシンでエージェントを並列実行。スマートフォンからでもデスクからでも、開発を進めてリリースできます。
+
+- **セルフホスト:** エージェントはあなたのマシン上で動作し、完全な開発環境を使用します。自分のツール・設定・スキルをそのまま活用できます。
+- **マルチプロバイダー:** Claude Code、Codex、Copilot、OpenCode、Pi を同一のインターフェースで利用。タスクに合ったモデルを選べます。
+- **音声コントロール:** 音声モードでタスクを口述したり問題を話し合ったりできます。ハンズフリーが必要なときに便利です。
+- **クロスデバイス:** iOS、Android、デスクトップ、Web、CLI に対応。机で作業を始め、スマートフォンで確認し、ターミナルから自動化できます。
+- **プライバシー優先:** Paseo にはテレメトリー・トラッキング・強制ログインは一切ありません。
+
+## はじめかた
+
+Paseo はコーディングエージェントを管理するローカルサーバー（デーモン）を起動します。デスクトップアプリ・モバイルアプリ・Web アプリ・CLI などのクライアントがこのデーモンに接続します。
+
+### 前提条件
+
+エージェント CLI をひとつ以上インストールし、認証情報を設定しておく必要があります。
+
+- [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)
+- [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex)
+- [GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot/cli/)
+- [OpenCode](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode)
+- [Pi](https://pi.dev)
+
+### デスクトップアプリ（推奨）
+
+[paseo.sh/download](https://paseo.sh/download) または [GitHub のリリースページ](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/releases)からダウンロードしてください。アプリを開くとデーモンが自動的に起動します。追加のインストールは不要です。
+
+スマートフォンから接続するには、Settings 画面に表示される QR コードをスキャンしてください。
+
+### CLI / ヘッドレス
+
+CLI をインストールして Paseo を起動します。
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
+paseo
+```
+
+ターミナルに QR コードが表示されます。どのクライアントからでも接続できます。サーバーやリモートマシンでの利用に適しています。
+
+詳しいセットアップと設定については以下を参照してください。
+
+- [ドキュメント](https://paseo.sh/docs)
+- [設定リファレンス](https://paseo.sh/docs/configuration)
+
+## CLI
+
+アプリでできることはすべてターミナルからも実行できます。
+
+```bash
+paseo run --provider claude/opus-4.6 "implement user authentication"
+paseo run --provider codex/gpt-5.4 --worktree feature-x "implement feature X"
+
+paseo ls                           # 実行中のエージェントを一覧表示
+paseo attach abc123                # ライブ出力をストリーミング
+paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # 追加タスクを送信
+
+# リモートデーモンで実行
+paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"
+```
+
+詳細は[完全な CLI リファレンス](https://paseo.sh/docs/cli)を参照してください。
+
+## スキル
+
+スキルはエージェントに Paseo を使って他のエージェントをオーケストレーションする方法を教えます。
+
+```bash
+npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
+```
+
+どのエージェントとの会話でも使用できます。
+
+- `/paseo-handoff` — エージェント間で作業を引き継ぎます。私はこれを使って Claude で計画し、Codex に実装を引き継いでいます。
+- `/paseo-loop` — 明確な受け入れ基準に沿ってエージェントをループさせます（Ralph loops とも呼ばれます）。検証役を追加することもできます。
+- `/paseo-advisor` — 単一のエージェントをアドバイザーとして起動し、作業を委任せずにセカンドオピニオンを得ます。
+- `/paseo-committee` — 対照的な2つのエージェントで委員会を構成し、一歩引いた視点で根本原因を分析して計画を作成します。
+
+## 開発
+
+モノレポのパッケージ構成：
+
+- `packages/server`: Paseo デーモン（エージェントプロセスのオーケストレーション、WebSocket API、MCP サーバー）
+- `packages/app`: Expo クライアント（iOS、Android、Web）
+- `packages/cli`: デーモンおよびエージェントワークフロー向け `paseo` CLI
+- `packages/desktop`: Electron デスクトップアプリ
+- `packages/relay`: リモート接続用リレーパッケージ
+- `packages/website`: マーケティングサイトとドキュメント（`paseo.sh`）
+
+よく使うコマンド：
+
+```bash
+# すべてのローカル開発サービスを起動
+npm run dev
+
+# 個別のサービスを起動
+npm run dev:server
+npm run dev:app
+npm run dev:desktop
+npm run dev:website
+
+# サーバースタックをビルド
+npm run build:server
+
+# リポジトリ全体のチェック
+npm run typecheck
+```

 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.
 
+In Docker, the official image runs the daemon and agents as the non-root
+`paseo` user by default. Mounted workspaces and credentials are still fully
+available to anything the agents run inside the container.
+
 For remote access, use the relay connection. It is the supported path for reaching the daemon off-machine, and it adds end-to-end encryption plus a pairing handshake before commands are accepted.
 
 Host header validation and CORS origin checks are defense-in-depth controls for localhost exposure. They help block DNS rebinding and browser-based attacks, but they do not replace network isolation.

@@ -12,16 +12,29 @@ initializing → idle → running → idle (or error → closed)
 
 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.
 
+### Cancellation
+
+Cancellation changes lifecycle state only after the provider acknowledges the interrupt or emits a terminal turn event. If the interrupt is rejected or times out, the agent remains `running` with its active foreground turn intact. Follow-up actions such as replacement, reload, rewind, and Stop must report that failure instead of accepting work they cannot perform. Synthesizing a local cancellation without provider acknowledgment creates a split-brain session: Paseo accepts a new prompt while the provider still owns the previous foreground turn.

 ## Relationships
 
-Agents can launch other agents via the agent-scoped `create_agent` MCP tool. Agent-scoped creation is always asynchronous. By default, the daemon stamps the created agent with a label `paseo.parent-agent-id` pointing back at the agent that created it. The client surfaces that as `agent.parentAgentId`.
+Agents can launch other agents via the agent-scoped `create_agent` MCP tool. Agent-scoped creation is always asynchronous. `relationship` and `workspace` are separate decisions:
 
-Agent-scoped `create_agent` accepts `detached: true` for agents that should stand on their own. The daemon still uses the creating agent for cwd/config inheritance, but does not write `paseo.parent-agent-id`.
+- `relationship` decides whether the new agent belongs under the caller.
+- `workspace` decides where the new agent lives and whether a new workspace/worktree is created.
 
-- **Subagents** — created with `detached: false` or omitted. They exist as part of the creating agent's work, appear in that agent's subagent track, and are archived with it.
-- **Detached agents** — created with `detached: true`. They take over as sibling/root agents (e.g. handoffs, fire-and-forget delegations), do not appear in the creating agent's subagent track, and are not archived with it.
+`relationship: { kind: "subagent" }` stamps the created agent with `paseo.parent-agent-id`, pointing back at the creating agent. The client surfaces that as `agent.parentAgentId`. This requires an agent-scoped MCP session.

+
+Users can also detach an existing subagent from the subagents track. Detach removes the `paseo.parent-agent-id` label only: it does not stop, archive, move, or restart the agent. The agent keeps its current `cwd` and `workspaceId`, leaves the former parent's track, and behaves like a root agent for tab close, workspace activity, and future parent archive.

 ## Archive
 
@@ -52,23 +65,35 @@ Closing a tab on a **root agent** still archives — the tab is the agent's home
 
 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 asymmetry is intentional: a subagent's persistent relationship lives in the parent's track. Same-workspace subagents are not auto-opened as tabs; the user opens one from that track when needed. A cross-workspace subagent is also auto-opened as a tab in its own workspace so opening that workspace does not appear empty. It remains in the parent's track until it is actually detached.
 
 ## Workspace activity
 
 Agent lifecycle status stays literal: a parent agent is `idle` when its own turn is idle, even if a child is running.
 
-Workspace status is an aggregate activity signal computed **per `workspaceId`**: a workspace's status reflects only records whose `workspaceId === workspace.id`. Ownership is never derived from `cwd` — many workspaces may share one directory, and same-`cwd` siblings do not clump under one status. A root agent contributes its normal state bucket to its owning workspace only. Running subagents contribute `running` to their root parent's owning workspace (by the parent agent's `workspaceId`), not to the subagent's current `cwd` or worktree. Non-running subagent attention, permission, and error states stay in the parent's subagents track and do not escalate the workspace bucket.
+Workspace status is an aggregate activity signal computed **per `workspaceId`**. Ownership is never derived from `cwd` — many workspaces may share one directory, and same-`cwd` siblings do not clump under one status. Root agents and cross-workspace subagents contribute their normal state bucket to their own workspace. Same-workspace descendants contribute `running` to the nearest ancestor in that workspace; their non-running attention, permission, and error states stay in the parent's subagents track. This makes a cross-workspace subagent behave like a detached agent for workspace visibility and status without removing its parent relationship.
 
 ## The subagents track

+The collapsible track above the composer in an agent's pane (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`) combines two kinds of children:
+
+- **Paseo subagents** are full managed agents. Their membership rule (`packages/app/src/subagents/select.ts`) is:
 
 ```
 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.
+- **Provider subagents** are child executions owned by Claude, Codex, or OpenCode. They are not inserted into `AgentManager` as managed agents. Providers emit a separate descriptor and timeline stream through `agent.provider_subagents.*`; the client keeps that state outside the normal agent store and merges only the presentation rows into the track.
+
+Clicking either kind opens a workspace tab. A Paseo subagent tab is a normal interactive agent pane. A provider subagent tab is a read-only timeline pane with no composer, archive, detach, rewind, or fork actions. Both panes use `AgentStreamView`, so message, reasoning, tool-call, and layout rendering stay identical.
+
+Provider timelines use the same structural timeline item format but deliberately have a separate lifecycle and transport. A provider thread/session identifier is not a Paseo agent identifier, and closing its tab is always layout-only.
+
+Archived Paseo subagents disappear from the track, by design. To remove one from the track without closing its tab, use the **archive button** on the row — it opens a confirm dialog and archives the subagent on confirm. Provider-owned rows have no individual Paseo lifecycle controls.
+
+The track header's **Archive finished** action hides finished provider-owned rows in the current app session. Their native sessions and timelines are untouched, and managed Paseo subagents are not archived by this bulk action. If a hidden provider child starts running again, the app brings it back to the track.
+
+To keep the agent alive but remove it from the parent's track, use **detach**. The daemon clears the parent label, emits the normal agent update, and every client reclassifies the agent from subagent to root/sibling from that updated snapshot.

+
+`packages/app/app.config.js` derives Android `versionCode` from the package version with:
+
+```text
+major * 1_000_000 + minor * 1_000 + patch
+```
+
+Prerelease metadata is ignored, so `0.1.102-beta.1` and `0.1.102` both produce `1102`. The same value is used as the iOS `buildNumber` because `packages/app/eas.json` uses EAS's local app version source. Do not re-enable EAS remote version counters or Android `autoIncrement`; F-Droid and other source-based builders need the native build number to be visible in the repo.
+
+The formula reserves three digits each for minor and patch. If either reaches `1000`, change the formula before cutting that release.
+
+## Prerequisites (local dev)
+
+Local Android builds run on macOS (or Linux) and need the Android toolchain, pinned in `.tool-versions` (`java 21`, `android-sdk 21.0`) and wired up by `.mise.toml` (which sets `ANDROID_HOME` and puts `cmdline-tools/21.0/bin`, `platform-tools`, and `emulator` on `PATH`). With [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev):
+
+```bash
+mise install        # java 21 + android-sdk 21.0 command-line tools
+```
+
+> **Pin a real `android-sdk` version, not `latest`.** The mise `android-sdk` plugin's `latest` resolved to the ancient `1.0` bundle, whose `sdkmanager` (3.6.0) predates the `emulator` package and fails with `Failed to find package emulator`. `21.0` ships a current `sdkmanager`. If you bump it, update the version in `.tool-versions` and in all four paths in `.mise.toml`.
+
+`mise install` only lays down the command-line tools. Install the rest and create an emulator. On Apple Silicon:
+
+```bash
+sdkmanager --licenses
+sdkmanager "platform-tools" "emulator" "platforms;android-35" "build-tools;35.0.0" \
+           "system-images;android-35;google_apis;arm64-v8a"
+avdmanager create avd -n paseo -k "system-images;android-35;google_apis;arm64-v8a" -d pixel_7
+emulator @paseo     # start it; leave running
+```
+
+On an Intel Mac, use the `x86_64` system image:
+
+```bash
+sdkmanager --licenses
+sdkmanager "platform-tools" "emulator" "platforms;android-35" "build-tools;35.0.0" \
+           "system-images;android-35;google_apis;x86_64"

+emulator @paseo     # start it; leave running

+## Running on an emulator against a worktree daemon
+
+`npm run android` builds and installs the dev client, but two connections have to reach your Mac from inside the emulator — Metro (the JS bundle) and the Paseo daemon — and **the emulator does not share the host's loopback**: `localhost` inside the emulator is the emulator itself. Reach the host at `10.0.2.2` (the standard AVD's host alias) for both:
+
+```bash
+REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=10.0.2.2 \
+  EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=10.0.2.2:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT \
+  npm run android
+```
+
+- **`REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=10.0.2.2`** — without it, Expo bakes your Mac's LAN IP into the dev client's Metro URL, which the emulator can't route to, and the app dies with `Failed to connect to /<lan-ip>:8081` before any JS loads.
+- **`EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=10.0.2.2:<port>`** — the client's daemon endpoint (`packages/app/src/runtime/host-runtime.ts`); when unset it defaults to `localhost:6767`, the production daemon. Use `$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT` for a worktree daemon running as a Paseo service, or `6768` for a standalone `npm run dev:server`. It is inlined into the JS bundle at Metro bundle time, so set it on the build command and clear the Metro cache (`npx expo start -c`) if a change doesn't take.
+
+**Alternative — `adb reverse` + `localhost`** (if `10.0.2.2` misbehaves):
+
+```bash
+adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081
+adb reverse tcp:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT tcp:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT
+REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=localhost \
+  EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=localhost:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT \
+  npm run android
+```
+
+This is the Android counterpart of the iOS local-simulator flow in [development.md](development.md): on iOS the simulator shares the Mac's loopback so `localhost:<port>` works directly; on Android you need `10.0.2.2` or `adb reverse`.
+
+## F-Droid / source-only Android builds
+
+F-Droid builds should set `PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1` when running Expo prebuild:
+
+```bash
+cd packages/app
+PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1 APP_VARIANT=production npx expo prebuild --platform android --clean --non-interactive
+cd android
+PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1 ./gradlew assembleRelease --no-daemon --max-workers=1 -Dorg.gradle.parallel=false
+```
+
+The flag must be present for both prebuild and Gradle because Gradle starts Metro for the release bundle. Keep the source build serial and daemon-free as shown above: compiling every Expo module can exhaust memory when Gradle workers run in parallel. The profile enables source-built Expo modules, excludes the proprietary camera, Firebase notification, and Expo development-client native modules, disables EAS updates and Gradle dependency metadata, and substitutes JavaScript stubs for camera and notifications. The resulting app supports direct and pasted-link pairing but not QR scanning or push notifications.
+
+Keep the excluded npm packages installed. Normal builds use them, while the F-Droid profile removes only their Android native modules and config plugins. Paseo always applies `expo-gradle-jvmargs` with `-Xmx4096m` and `-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=1024m` so local Expo prebuilds have enough Gradle heap whether they use precompiled AARs or source-built Expo modules.
+
 ### React version lockstep
 
 Keep `react` and `react-dom` pinned to the React version embedded by the current `react-native` release. React Native `0.81.x` embeds `react-native-renderer` `19.1.0`, so `packages/app` must use React `19.1.0`. Bumping React to a newer patch can build successfully but crash at JS startup on Android with `Incompatible React versions`, leaving the app on the native splash screen.

+# Browser Capture Harness
+
+The desktop capture harness is the real-Electron verification path for browser screenshots.
+It validates the compositor behavior that unit tests cannot see:
+
+- the resident automation `<webview>` starts in the production parking state;
+- the parked guest remains paintable and has a copyable viewport frame;
+- the resident webview guest is sized to 1280x800 logical pixels;
+- multiple resident webviews are parked as an overlapping stack without per-capture
+  stacking changes;
+- a newly attached resident webview whose first useful frame is delayed can be captured
+  by retrying until the frame appears;
+- both viewport `capturePage` and full-page CDP screenshots return real pixels from
+  the permanent production parking state;
+- guest background throttling can be disabled once at attach without per-capture
+  renderer coordination.
+
+Run it with the repo Electron:
+
+```bash
+npm run capture-harness --workspace=@getpaseo/desktop
+```
+
+Run the browser automation fixture with:
+
+```bash
+PASEO_CAPTURE_HARNESS_GROUP=automation npm run capture-harness --workspace=@getpaseo/desktop
+```
+
+Run the shared browser profile fixture with:
+
+```bash
+PASEO_CAPTURE_HARNESS_GROUP=browser-profile npm run capture-harness --workspace=@getpaseo/desktop
+```
+
+The browser profile group runs two Electron processes in sequence. It verifies that each
+renderer-side `did-attach` identity maps to the correct main-process guest, that two live
+tabs share cookies and local storage through one persistent session, and that the data is
+still present after the first Electron process exits and the second starts.
+
+The automation group uses a real guest webview to verify the page-side ref contract:
+ARIA-like snapshot text includes headings, static text, and controls; refs survive
+`pushState` when the element still matches; same-URL rerenders stale old refs; and a
+file-input ref can be resolved to a CDP backend node id for upload. It also verifies
+page-context evaluation, including passing a resolved ref element as the function argument.
+
+On macOS the harness process must set `app.setActivationPolicy("accessory")` and
+hide the Dock icon before creating any window. `showInactive()` only prevents window
+focus; a normal Electron app launch can still activate the app and steal focus.
+Harness windows are then created hidden, positioned in a screen corner, skipped from
+the taskbar where Electron supports it, and revealed with `showInactive()` from
+`ready-to-show`. Do not replace this with `show()`, `focus()`, or `app.focus()`:
+the compositor only needs visible inactive windows, and harness runs must not steal
+focus from the person using the machine.
+
+The harness writes PNG evidence and `results.json` to:
+
+```text
+packages/desktop/capture-harness/out/
+```
+
+A passing run prints `PASS` lines for the production P1 attach-off parking state,
+including fresh, settled, 75-second soak, multi-tab, viewport, and full-page checks. The
+PNG sizes may be device-pixel scaled; on a Retina display the 1280x800 logical viewport
+is usually saved as 2560x1600.
+
+## Mechanism
+
+Electron captures copy from the guest web contents' compositor surface. A resident
+webview parked with `display:none`, offscreen coordinates, or `opacity:0` can lose its
+copyable surface. The production parking state keeps the host fixed at `left:0`, `top:0`,
+`width:1px`, `height:1px`, `overflow:hidden`, `opacity:1`, and `pointer-events:none`.
+The webviews inside stay full-size at 1280x800, `display:inline-flex`, and absolutely
+overlap at `left:0`, `top:0`.
+
+There is no renderer prep/restore handshake. Main disables guest background throttling
+once when the webview attaches, then screenshot capture uses the shared serialized queue,
+invalidates before each attempt, and retries known first-frame failures within the
+5-second capture budget. Viewport screenshots use `capturePage({ stayHidden:false })`;
+full-page screenshots use the existing CDP path with layout metrics and screenshot clip.

 - Subscribe narrowly: select primitives from stores, pass `status` not `agent`, use `useShallow` / deep-equal when returning derived arrays/objects.
+- Collection rows do not independently subscribe to a high-frequency global store. The collection owner selects structurally shared indexes once, derives a keyed row model with `useMemo`, and passes entries to rows. This keeps retained hidden collections current without running one selector per row on every store update.
+- Equality functions prevent React renders; they do not prevent selector callbacks from running. A selector attached to a hot store must be O(1) when its relevant source references have not changed.
+- Retained native panels use `RetainedPanel`. If an existing gesture/layout wrapper must own visibility, wrap its contents in `RetainedPanelActivity` instead. Keep keyed panel roots in a stable sibling order, include the newly active panel in the same render, centralize subscriptions, and gate genuine effects through `useRetainedPanelActive`. Do not use `Suspense` or render freezing for this on native: those techniques change native tree ownership instead of merely stopping work.
+- Infinite animations are subscriptions. Start them only while their retained panel is active, and cancel a shared clock when its final active consumer leaves. Synchronized animations use one clock per animation family and feed active instances through local shared values; retained hidden instances stay mounted but unsubscribed. Match state updates to the actual visual cadence; do not run every style worklet at 60 fps when the rendered value changes only a few times per second.
 - 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.

 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.
 
+On a narrow desktop route, app navigation yields to the rendered content topology when the remaining width cannot preserve its center target: Settings keeps its 320px list + 400px detail split, and a workspace Explorer keeps its current visible width plus a 400px center pane. That is a topology decision at the app container, not a second compact breakpoint. Temporary width clamps are render-only; widening restores the user's saved sidebar widths.
+
+Electron window controls are top-corner obstructions, not a compact-layout condition. Rendered surfaces declare which top corners they physically occupy; only those corners receive clearance. Full-window overlays redeclare both corners. A focused split pane owns both corners; if focus restoration temporarily exposes the full split tree, the split boundary reserves one top strip instead of assigning a control rectangle to an arbitrarily narrow leaf. The 720px desktop breakpoint preserves the default 320px sidebar and target 400px center width when the Explorer is closed; it is product policy, not an obstruction gate.

 ### iOS simulator preview service
 
 Paseo worktrees expose the native iOS dev app through the `ios-simulator` service in `paseo.json`. The service URL serves the simulator preview at `/.sim`, so the preview link is `${PASEO_URL}/.sim`.
 
+**Prerequisites (macOS only).** The service shells out to the Apple toolchain, so beyond the `npm ci` that worktree setup runs you must install:
+
+- **Xcode** (the full app, not just the Command Line Tools) — install it from the Mac App Store, or from `developer.apple.com/download` for a specific version. It provides `xcodebuild` and `xcrun simctl`; accept its license and let first-run component installation finish before starting the service.
+- **An iOS Simulator runtime with at least one iPhone device type**. Recent Xcode versions may not bundle a runtime — add one via Xcode → Settings → Components (older Xcode: "Platforms"). The service targets `iPhone 16 Pro` by default (override with `PASEO_IOS_DEVICE_TYPE`) and falls back to any iPhone; it fails with `No iPhone simulator device type is installed` when none exist.
+- **Homebrew** — CocoaPods itself installs automatically: `expo prebuild` runs `pod install` on a cold worktree, and when the CocoaPods CLI is missing the runner installs it for you. It tries `gem install cocoapods` first and falls back to Homebrew (`brew install cocoapods`), so having Homebrew available lets that fallback succeed without a manual step.
+
+`serve-sim`, Expo, and Metro come from `npm ci`, and CocoaPods installs itself on the first prebuild as described above.
+
 The service is designed for concurrent worktrees: it derives a deterministic simulator identity from the worktree path, uses the worktree's assigned `PASEO_PORT`, pins `serve-sim` to that simulator UDID, and only tears down that worktree's helper/simulator state. It must not rely on the globally booted simulator or any fixed Metro port.
 
 Worktree setup best-effort seeds the generated iOS project and newest native build cache from the source checkout before the service runs. The service still validates the native project by running Expo prebuild and Xcode; the seed only avoids paying all setup/build cost from a cold worktree every time.
 
-Starting the service must not create, focus, reveal, or leave behind macOS Simulator.app windows. The browser preview is the user-visible simulator surface.
+Starting the service must not create, focus, reveal, or leave behind macOS Simulator.app windows — a guard hides Simulator.app every 250ms, so the native window vanishes if you focus it. The user-visible surface is the interactive `/.sim` preview: a `serve-sim` stream (60 FPS MJPEG + a WebSocket control channel) that Metro mounts at `basePath: "/.sim"` (`packages/app/metro.config.cjs`) and that forwards taps and gestures, so first-launch prompts like "Open in PaseoDebug?" are answered there, not in the native window. Open the `${PASEO_URL}/.sim` link the service prints — not `serve-sim`'s raw stream port (`:3100`), which is view-only. Because the stream sits behind the daemon proxy it is convenient for remote viewing but laggy up close; for fast local dev at the Mac, use the native simulator path below.
+
+**Troubleshooting.** If `xcrun simctl` fails with `unable to find utility "simctl"`, the active developer directory is still the Command Line Tools even though Xcode is installed.

+### Running the iOS app on a local simulator
+
+For fast, native, interactive iOS dev at the Mac — as opposed to the remote `/.sim` preview above — skip the service and build the dev client directly:
+
+```bash
+npm run ios        # → expo run:ios (packages/app): builds and launches the app in the real Simulator.app
+```
+
+`expo run:ios` starts its own Metro and gives you the normal Simulator.app window (full speed, native touch, no stream).
+
+**Pointing the app at a daemon.** The client resolves its local daemon from `EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON` (`packages/app/src/runtime/host-runtime.ts`); when unset it falls back to `localhost:6767`, the production `~/.paseo` daemon. To target a worktree's dev daemon instead, set it on the build command:
+
+```bash
+EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=localhost:${PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT} npm run ios   # worktree daemon running as a Paseo service
+EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=localhost:6768 npm run ios                          # standalone `npm run dev:server`
+```
+
+The iOS simulator shares the Mac's loopback, so `localhost:<port>` reaches the host daemon directly.
+
+**Gotcha — `EXPO_PUBLIC_*` is inlined into the JS bundle at Metro bundle time, not read at runtime.** Set it in the same shell that starts Metro. If the app still connects to the old daemon, Metro served a cached bundle; re-bundle clean with `cd packages/app && EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=… npx expo start -c` and reload the app.

+## Bundled daemon web UI
+
+> The user-facing guide for this feature (enabling it, reverse proxy, TLS, tunnels, security) lives at [public-docs/web-ui.md](../public-docs/web-ui.md). This section is the contributor/build reference: how the artifact is produced, bundled, and excluded from desktop packaging.
+
+The daemon can optionally serve the browser web client from the same HTTP server. This is disabled by default.
+
+Enable it for a running daemon with:
+
+```bash
+paseo daemon start --web-ui
+```
+
+Or set the environment variable:
+
+```bash
+PASEO_WEB_UI_ENABLED=true paseo daemon start
+```
+
+Or persist it in `config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "features": {
+    "webUi": {
+      "enabled": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When enabled, opening the daemon HTTP origin (for example `http://localhost:6767/`) serves the web app. The same HTTP server continues to serve `/api/*`, `/mcp/*`, `/public/*`, the WebSocket upgrade, and service-proxy routes. Static files load without daemon bearer auth; API and WebSocket calls still enforce auth.
+
+The served app auto-bootstraps a connection to the same origin, so opening `http://localhost:6767/` directly usually skips the Add Host step.
+
+Build the artifact for packaging or measurement with:
+
+```bash
+npm run build:daemon-web-ui
+```
+
+This exports the normal browser web app (not the Electron-flavored desktop renderer) and copies it into `packages/server/dist/server/web-ui`, precompressing `.html`, `.js`, `.css`, and JSON assets as `.br` and `.gz`.
+
+Measured bundle size for a standard Expo web export:
+
+- raw: 10.77 MiB
+- gzip: 2.55 MiB
+- brotli: 1.93 MiB
+
+The desktop-managed daemon disables the bundled web UI by default (`PASEO_WEB_UI_ENABLED=false`) because the desktop app already ships the renderer as `app-dist`. Shipping the same assets again inside `@getpaseo/server` would duplicate the ~10.8 MiB install. Desktop packaging also excludes `node_modules/@getpaseo/server/dist/server/web-ui/**` from the packaged app.

+# Running Paseo in Docker
+
+Paseo publishes a container image for running the daemon on a server, VM, NAS,
+or homelab box. The image also serves the bundled browser web UI, so one
+container gives you both the daemon API and a self-hosted UI.
+
+The image source lives in [`docker/`](../docker/).
+
+## How it works
+
+The official image:
+
+- builds `@getpaseo/server` and `@getpaseo/cli` from source-built workspace tarballs
+- runs the daemon as the non-root `paseo` user
+- listens on `0.0.0.0:6767` inside the container
+- enables the bundled daemon web UI with `PASEO_WEB_UI_ENABLED=true`
+- stores daemon state and agent credentials under `/home/paseo`
+- leaves agent CLIs out of the base image
+
+Open the container's HTTP origin, for example `http://localhost:6767`, to load
+the web UI. The served app receives a same-origin connection hint and connects
+back to that daemon. Static UI files load without daemon auth; API and
+WebSocket requests still require `PASEO_PASSWORD` when one is configured.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name paseo \
+  -p 6767:6767 \
+  -e PASEO_PASSWORD=change-me \
+  -v "$PWD/paseo-home:/home/paseo" \
+  -v "$PWD:/workspace" \
+  ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
+```
+
+Then open:
+
+```text
+http://localhost:6767
+```
+
+If you set `PASEO_PASSWORD`, enter the same password when adding the direct
+daemon connection in the web UI or another Paseo client.
+
+## Docker Compose
+
+Use [`docker/docker-compose.example.yml`](../docker/docker-compose.example.yml):
+
+```bash
+cp docker/docker-compose.example.yml docker-compose.yml
+$EDITOR docker-compose.yml
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Minimal example:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  paseo:
+    image: ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    ports:
+      - "6767:6767"
+    environment:
+      PASEO_PASSWORD: "change-me"
+    volumes:
+      - ./paseo-home:/home/paseo
+      - ./workspace:/workspace
+```
+
+## Installing Agents
+
+The base image does not preinstall Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot, Pi, or
+other agent CLIs. That keeps the default image small and avoids coupling Paseo
+releases to third-party agent release cycles.
+
+Create a child image for the agents you use:
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
+
+USER root
+RUN npm install -g @openai/codex @anthropic-ai/claude-code opencode-ai
+```
+
+Build it:
+
+```bash
+docker build -f Dockerfile -t paseo-with-agents .
+```
+
+Then use `image: paseo-with-agents` in Compose.
+
+Leave the child image user as root. The base entrypoint uses root only for
+first-run directory setup, then drops the daemon and launched agents to the
+non-root `paseo` user.
+
+An example child image is in
+[`docker/Dockerfile.agents.example`](../docker/Dockerfile.agents.example).
+
+You can also mount credentials from the host or run agent login once inside the
+container:
+
+```bash
+docker exec -it --user paseo paseo codex
+docker exec -it --user paseo paseo claude
+```
+
+Agent credentials and config persist in `/home/paseo`, alongside daemon state.
+Provider environment variables such as `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`,
+`OPENAI_BASE_URL`, or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` can be passed through `docker run -e`
+or `compose.environment`; Paseo passes them to launched agents.
+
+## Volumes
+
+| Mount         | Purpose                                                                  |
+| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `/home/paseo` | Paseo state under `.paseo` plus agent config such as `.codex`, `.claude` |
+| `/workspace`  | Code that Paseo and launched agents can read and write                   |
+
+The image defaults:
+
+| Variable       | Default              |
+| -------------- | -------------------- |
+| `HOME`         | `/home/paseo`        |
+| `PASEO_HOME`   | `/home/paseo/.paseo` |
+| `PASEO_LISTEN` | `0.0.0.0:6767`       |
+
+If you bind-mount host directories on Linux, make sure the container user can
+write them. The built-in `paseo` user has uid/gid `1000:1000`. For a different
+host uid/gid, either adjust ownership on the mounted directories or run the
+container with Docker's `--user` / Compose `user:` option.
+
+## Reverse Proxies
+
+When serving Paseo behind a reverse proxy, forward normal HTTP requests and
+WebSocket upgrades to the same daemon port.
+
+Caddy example:
+
+```caddy
+paseo.example.com {
+  reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:6767
+}
+```
+
+Nginx example:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    server_name paseo.example.com;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6767;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+If you reach the daemon by DNS name, set `PASEO_HOSTNAMES` so host-header
+validation allows that name:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  PASEO_HOSTNAMES: "paseo.example.com,.lan"
+```
+
+IPs and `localhost` are allowed by default.
+
+## Security
+
+- Set `PASEO_PASSWORD` for any published port or network-reachable deployment.
+- Prefer HTTPS at the reverse proxy for direct browser access.
+- Use the Paseo relay for untrusted networks or mobile access when you do not
+  want to expose the daemon port directly.
+- The container is the isolation boundary for agents. Agents can read and write
+  whatever you mount into `/workspace` and whatever credentials you place in
+  `/home/paseo`.
+- The bundled web UI static files are public on the daemon origin. The daemon
+  API and WebSocket remain protected by password auth when configured.
+
+See [SECURITY.md](../SECURITY.md) for the daemon trust model.
+
+## Building Locally
+
+```bash
+docker build -f docker/base/Dockerfile -t paseo:local .
+```
+
+To assert the source tree version while building:
+
+```bash
+docker build \
+  --build-arg PASEO_VERSION=0.1.102 \
+  -t paseo:0.1.102 \
+  -f docker/base/Dockerfile \
+  .
+```
+
+The Docker workflow builds the image on pull requests and on `main` as a
+non-publishing check. Stable `vX.Y.Z` tag pushes publish
+`ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:X.Y.Z` and `ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest`. Beta tags
+publish only the exact prerelease tag, such as
+`ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:0.1.102-beta.1`, and do not update `latest`.
+
+To replace a Docker image in place without rebuilding desktop, APK, or EAS
+mobile release artifacts, dispatch the Docker workflow manually instead of
+pushing a `v*` release tag:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run docker.yml \
+  --ref main \
+  -f paseo_version=0.1.102-beta.1 \
+  -f publish=true
+```
+
+Manual Docker publishes require an explicit `paseo_version`. The workflow builds
+from the checked-out source tree and publishes only the exact prerelease image
+tag for prerelease versions.
+
+The published image is multi-arch for `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **The web UI loads but cannot connect**: if `PASEO_PASSWORD` is set, add a
+  direct connection with the same password.
+- **403 Host not allowed**: set `PASEO_HOSTNAMES` to the DNS names you use.
+- **Provider not available**: install that agent CLI in a child image or mount a
+  runtime where the binary is on `PATH`.
+- **Permission errors in `/workspace`**: make the mounted directory writable by
+  uid/gid `1000:1000`, or run the container as the host uid/gid.
+- **Logs**: inspect `docker logs paseo` or
+  `/home/paseo/.paseo/daemon.log` inside the container.

+# Expo Router
+
+Paseo's mobile route tree is fragile because Expo Router and React Navigation do
+not fail loudly when a nested native route is mounted under the wrong layout. The
+usual symptom is a white or blank native screen with no JavaScript crash.
+
+Read this before changing `packages/app/src/app`, startup routing, remembered
+workspace restore, or active workspace selection.
+
+## Ownership
+
+Each layout owns only the routes directly inside its directory.
+
+- The root layout registers `h/[serverId]`.
+- The root layout does not register host leaf routes such as
+  `h/[serverId]/workspace/[workspaceId]`, `h/[serverId]/open-project`, or
+  `h/[serverId]/index`.
+- `packages/app/src/app/h/[serverId]/_layout.tsx` owns the host leaves with
+  relative screen names: `index`, `workspace/[workspaceId]/index`,
+  `agent/[agentId]`, `sessions`, `open-project`, and `settings`.
+
+Expo Router warns with `[Layout children]: No route named ...` when a layout
+registers grandchildren. Treat that warning as a route-tree bug. On native, that
+shape can leave a nested index route mounted without its local dynamic params and
+render a blank screen.
+
+## Startup
+
+The root `/` route chooses a host boundary. It does not jump directly into a host
+leaf.
+
+- Good: `/` -> `/h/[serverId]`
+- Bad: `/` -> `/h/[serverId]/workspace/[workspaceId]`
+
+`/h/[serverId]` is the host home route. The host index restores the last
+remembered workspace for that host after the remembered selection has hydrated
+and the workspace has not been proven missing. If there is no restorable
+workspace, it goes to global `/open-project`.
+
+This restore is based on the last navigated workspace, not current connection
+status. Do not redirect to another online host just because the remembered host
+is still connecting or offline; the workspace screen owns that offline/loading
+state.
+
+This split is deliberate. The host layout must mount first so native local
+dynamic params exist before any nested workspace leaf is selected.
+
+## App-Wide Route Hops
+
+When app-wide routes such as `/new`, `/settings`, or `/sessions` navigate back
+into a host workspace, use `navigateToWorkspace()`. Do not make the caller
+branch on its current route.
+
+Pass only `serverId` and `workspaceId` for normal attention-aware navigation.
+When the action names a specific tab, pass it as `target`; that explicit choice
+is authoritative. Callers should not choose between separate route and tab
+navigation APIs.
+
+The root stack owns `h/[serverId]`; the host stack owns
+`workspace/[workspaceId]/index`. Repeated global-route hops must `POP_TO` the
+root host route and pass the nested workspace screen when a host route is
+already mounted, or Expo Router can append extra hidden workspace deck entries.
+The workspace navigation helper inspects the mounted navigation state to make
+that decision; if no host route is mounted yet, it falls back to ordinary route
+navigation.
+
+Those hidden entries are not harmless: composer floating panels can measure
+against the wrong deck and disappear offscreen.
+
+Hidden host routes may keep their local params while an app-wide route is
+foregrounded. Active-workspace observers must prefer the current pathname and
+only use local param fallback during cold mount (`/` or empty pathname), or a
+hidden workspace can overwrite the remembered workspace before Settings or
+History returns.
+
+## Params
+
+Required dynamic params belong to the matched route.
+
+Do not paper over missing required params by reading global params in the leaf.
+If `useLocalSearchParams()` misses a required param, fix layout ownership or the
+startup route shape.
+
+Use the host route context for host-owned leaves that need the host id after
+`h/[serverId]/_layout.tsx` has matched. Do not make a leaf recover from an
+unmatched tree by guessing from global state.
+
+## App Directory
+
+Keep non-route modules out of `src/app`. Expo Router treats ordinary `.ts` and
+`.tsx` files there as routes, which produces `missing the required default
+export` warnings and pollutes the route tree.
+
+Put shared route policy in `src/navigation`, `src/utils`, stores, or another
+non-route directory.
+
+## Native Stack
+
+Keep workspace identity and retention outside native-stack `getId` and
+`dangerouslySingular`. Expo Router maps `dangerouslySingular` to React
+Navigation `getId`, and `getId` has broken Android native-stack/Fabric by
+reordering an already-mounted workspace screen.
+
+Use `ThemedStack` from `packages/app/src/navigation/themed-stack.tsx` for every
+Expo Router stack. React Navigation otherwise paints each native stack screen
+with its light default background. A screen-level wrapper can hide that surface
+while settled, but Android may expose it for one frame when navigation crosses
+from a nested stack to its parent stack. This is especially visible when an
+app-wide route such as `/new` opens from a dark workspace.
+
+Do not read the active theme with `useUnistyles()` in a layout to build
+`screenOptions`. `ThemedStack` keeps that third-party prop theme-reactive through
+a small `withUnistyles` boundary without subscribing the route tree itself to
+every Unistyles runtime update.
+
+## Regression Shape
+
+Pure helper tests are useful but not enough. The failure mode here is native
+route-tree state, so a real regression should launch native with seeded persisted
+state:
+
+1. Seed `paseo:last-workspace-route-selection` with a valid
+   `{ serverId, workspaceId }`.
+2. Launch the native app cold.
+3. Assert a real screen is visible, not the blank tree.
+4. Assert no `[Layout children]` warning appears.
+
+The pure policy tests should still enforce the boundary split:
+
+- root startup with a saved workspace returns `/h/[serverId]`;
+- host index with the same saved workspace returns
+  `/h/[serverId]/workspace/[workspaceId]`;
+- host index with no restorable workspace returns `/open-project`.
+
+## Checklist
+
+Before landing route changes:
+
+- [ ] Did you change `packages/app/src/app`? Re-read this file.
+- [ ] Did you touch remembered workspace restore? Keep root on `/h/[serverId]`.
+- [ ] Did a route return to a workspace? Use `navigateToWorkspace()` and pass a

+# Forms
+
+The paved road for building forms in the app. The schedule form is the golden
+example; when building or fixing any form, copy its shape, not the shape of
+whatever screen you happen to be near.
+
+Golden example files:
+
+- `packages/app/src/schedules/schedule-form-model.ts` (+ `.test.ts`) — the model
+- `packages/app/src/schedules/use-schedule-form-model.ts` — model lifetime adapter
+- `packages/app/src/schedules/use-schedule-form-provider-snapshot.ts` — async input adapter

+- `packages/app/e2e/schedules-*.spec.ts` — the behavioral contract
+
+## The form model
+
+Every non-trivial form gets a **plain TypeScript model** — zero React imports:
+
+- `openXxxForm(snapshot)` **constructs** a fresh instance from declared inputs
+  (mode, the record being edited, hosts, defaults). Edit mode seeds every value
+  AND display from the snapshot — never from a previous instance.
+- **Commands** mutate (`setHost`, `setProject(value, display)`, `setModel`, …).
+  Derived state (disclosure, canSubmit, displays) is recomputed inside the
+  model on every publish.
+- `close()` destroys the instance. `subscribe`/`getState` feed one
+  `useSyncExternalStore` in the component.
+
+The component renders state and dispatches intent. That is all it does.
+
+### Lifecycle rules (each one killed a real shipped bug)
+
+1. **Fresh mount per open.** The sheet returns `null` when not visible and
+   mounts the open form with a `key` derived from mode + record identity.
+   A long-lived component instance shared across create/edit is how edit
+   contaminated create.
+2. **Construct the model ONCE per mount** — `useState(() => openXxxForm(snapshot))`.
+   NEVER `useMemo(() => open(...), [snapshot])`: the snapshot's identity depends
+   on live data (projects, hosts, preferences), and any background churn — e.g.
+   a scheduled run creating a workspace — would reconstruct the model and wipe
+   the user's in-progress input.
+3. **Late data is an explicit model input, not a reconstruction.**
+   `applyProviderSnapshot(serverId, …)`, `applyProjectTargets(…)`,
+   `applyHosts(…)`. Adapters pipe identity changes into these with mechanical
+   effects. Input plumbing is fine; orchestration effects are not — the sheet
+   itself has zero `useEffect`/`useRef`, and that is the target for every form.
+4. **Resolution is explicit model state, per host** (`idle | pending |
+complete`), keyed off the opened snapshot's serverId. Waiting for data is a
+   state you can render, not an effect race.
+5. **Displays are owned state.** The selected option's label is captured at
+   selection/seed time (`setProject(value, display)`), never re-derived from a
+   live options list — list churn must not flicker or blank a selection.
+6. **Disclosure is derived in the model** from user intent
+   (host → project → model → thinking/mode), so fields cannot pop in from
+   cache timing.
+
+## Form kit
+
+- Compose `Field` / `SelectField` / `FormTextInput` / `SegmentedControl` /
+  `Switch` from `components/ui/`. Geometry (heights, padding, radii, focus/hover
+  states) is owned by `components/ui/control-geometry.ts` — controls never
+  declare their own, and screens never nudge global component styles to align
+  a row.
+- The form declares one size for all fields: `sm` on desktop, `md` compact
+  (`useIsCompactFormFactor`).
+- Availability hierarchy: a field whose capability doesn't apply is **hidden**
+  (isolation on a non-git project — same gating as New Workspace), not rendered
+  disabled with an explanation. Disabled-with-a-reason `hint` is only for
+  transient states the user can resolve.
+- Copy is opt-in and rare. No hint/subtext unless the maintainer approved the
+  exact string; validation errors are the exception. State a fact (like the
+  timezone) once — never in a preview line AND a helper line.
+- `useUnistyles` is banned (see docs/unistyles.md); lint enforces.
+
+## Data gating
+
+Aggregate hooks return a discriminated load state:
+
+```ts
+type AggregateLoadState<T> =
+  | { status: "connecting" } // an answer may still be pending
+  | { status: "loading" }
+  | { status: "loaded"; data: T[] };
+```
+
+Empty states are only typeable inside `loaded` — a fetch that "succeeded"
+before hosts connected is `connecting`, not empty. Query keys carry real fetch
+inputs (host set, connection statuses), never synthetic version counters.
+
+## Anti-patterns (reject in review on sight)
+
+- `useEffect` choreography impersonating construct/hydrate/resolve/destroy.
+- One mounted form instance serving create and edit.
+- `useMemo`-keyed model construction on live-data identity.
+- Selected labels derived from live query lists.
+- `isLoading`/`isEmpty` boolean bags where a load-state union belongs.
+- Conditional mounting of hint/error rows that shifts layout (subtext renders
+  only when present, but the pattern for that lives in `Field`, not ad hoc).

+# Mobile panels
+
+Compact layouts have three mutually exclusive destinations:
+
+- `agent-list` on the left
+- `agent` in the center
+- `file-explorer` on the right
+
+They are one interaction, not two independent drawers. The implementation lives in
+`packages/app/src/mobile-panels/`.
+
+## Ownership
+
+React/Zustand owns the durable intent:
+
+```ts
+interface MobilePanelSelection {
+  target: "agent-list" | "agent" | "file-explorer";
+  revision: number;
+}
+```
+
+Every semantic target change increments `revision`. Repeating the current target is idempotent.
+Compact panel selection is not persisted; a cold start begins at `agent`.
+
+The UI worklet owns transient motion:
+
+- one normalized position (`-1` left, `0` center, `1` right)
+- the current motion target
+- the active gesture's starting revision
+- the last settled target
+
+React also owns presentation lifecycle: whether an overlay is mounted/displayed and whether it may
+receive pointer events. Worklets never own `display` or `pointerEvents`.
+
+## Why one position
+
+Both transforms and both backdrop opacities are derived from the same normalized position. Window
+width is only a projection input. Rotation changes the projection, not the panel state.
+
+This makes these invalid states unrepresentable:
+
+- a panel and its backdrop disagreeing
+- left and right drawers both claiming to be open
+- a width-sync effect resetting an active drag
+- one animation context settling a transition owned by the other
+
+Do not add another panel translate shared value, backdrop shared value, or width synchronization
+effect.
+
+## Ordering and interruption
+
+A gesture captures the current revision when it becomes active. Per-frame updates are accepted only
+while that revision still owns the gesture.
+
+When a React command arrives during a drag, its newer revision clears gesture ownership and starts
+motion toward the new target. The older gesture's remaining updates and finish callback are ignored.
+Canceled gestures return to the latest canonical target. Animation completion is accepted only when
+its target and revision still match the canonical command.
+
+Manual gesture arbitration has two phases:
+
+1. Before activation, determine whether horizontal intent may begin.
+2. After activation, stop running begin checks and let the active revision own updates.
+
+Re-running the begin gate after activation self-cancels the gesture because an active gesture is, by
+definition, no longer eligible to begin.
+
+## Integration rules
+
+- Callers request semantic targets through `panel-store`; they never write shared values.
+- Gesture behavior comes from the four explicit hooks in `mobile-panels/gestures.ts`.
+- Keep `SidebarModelProvider` outside `MobileGestureWrapper`. The provider shares sidebar derivation
+  across consumers, while Gesture Handler requires the wrapper's direct child to be a native `View`
+  so its injected `collapsable={false}` reaches Android/Fabric.
+- Mobile sidebars render through `MobilePanelOverlay`; do not duplicate overlay lifecycle or motion
+  styles in sidebar components.
+- The desktop left sidebar is retained too. App chrome owns separate mounted and visible decisions:
+  closing it or yielding its width marks it inactive and applies `display: none` without conditionally
+  removing the sidebar tree.
+- Animated panel nodes use React Native static styles plus inline theme values. Do not attach
+  Unistyles-generated styles to those nodes; Unistyles and Reanimated patching the same Fabric node
+  has caused native crashes.
+- The plain React wrapper owns `display: none` after settlement. This prevents a stale Fabric animated
+  prop commit from resurrecting a closed overlay.
+- Hidden tabs and workspaces use `RetainedPanel`. It owns a non-collapsible native root, visibility,
+  pointer events, and the active signal consumed by `useRetainedPanelActive`.
+- Panels whose gesture wrapper already owns visibility use `RetainedPanelActivity` to provide the
+  same active signal without adding another layout root. Persistent animations, timers, polling, and
+  shared clocks must subscribe to that signal and stop when their final visible consumer leaves.
+- Synchronized step animations use one wall-clock-aligned source. Register a local shared value only
+  while its retained panel is active so hidden animated styles remain mounted without receiving clock
+  updates. Do not give every instance its own loop or leave hidden styles subscribed to the source.
+- Retention order and render order are separate concerns. LRU metadata may change on every switch;
+  keyed retained roots must keep a stable sibling order. Moving large retained roots triggered Fabric
+  Differ failures (`addViewAt` / `removeViewAt` view reuse) on Android.
+- The newly active panel must be included in the same render that changes selection. Adding it from an
+  effect creates a committed frame where every retained panel is hidden, which is a real blank screen.
+- Do not suspend retained native subtrees with `Suspense`/`react-freeze`. Suspension changes native
+  ownership and can detach descendants. Keep the tree mounted, stabilize its subscriptions/selectors,
+  and use the retained-panel active signal to stop timers, polling, and other genuine background work.
+
+## Tests
+
+`packages/app/src/mobile-panels/model.test.ts` exercises command, drag, cancellation, interruption,
+rapid-command, stale-completion, and width-projection sequences through the transition model. Add a
+sequence there whenever ownership or ordering changes.

+# Protocol Validation
+
+The client validates inbound WebSocket messages with a zod-aot generated validator instead of runtime Zod on the hot path. Zod remains the authoring source of truth for schemas and TypeScript types.
+
+The reason is mobile performance. A captured 353 KB provider snapshot cost about 10.9 ms and 5.9 MB allocated per message for `JSON.parse` plus Zod on Hermes. After moving provider-model normalization out of the schema so zod-aot could compile the hot subtree, the generated validator path measured about 2.5 ms and 1.2 MB allocated.
+
+## Runtime Path
+
+`packages/protocol/src/validation/ws-outbound.ts` is the shipped boundary. It calls the generated `WSOutboundMessageSchema.safeParse` and returns the validated data. It does not normalize, repair, or re-validate the generated result.
+
+Generated validators preserve unknown keys where Zod object parsing strips them. The client dispatch path uses known `type` and payload fields, so this passthrough behavior is accepted for inbound messages. The wire format is unchanged.
+
+Provider model normalization is a parser-side compatibility shim in the client consumers that need it. Newer daemons normalize at the provider registry source.
+
+## Codegen Ownership
+
+The protocol package owns generation.
+
+- `packages/protocol/codegen/ws-outbound.compile.ts` is the build-time zod-aot discovery entry.
+- `packages/protocol/scripts/generate-validation-aot.mjs` runs the exact-pinned compiler and applies the small local compiler patches before generation.
+- `packages/protocol/scripts/watch-validation-aot.mjs` reruns generation while editing protocol sources.
+- `packages/protocol/src/generated/validation/ws-outbound.aot.ts` is generated runtime code and is gitignored.
+- `packages/protocol/src/validation/ws-outbound-schema-metadata.ts` is runtime schema metadata for zod-aot fallback/default references.
+
+Generation runs from protocol-owned lifecycle hooks: `prebuild`, `pretypecheck`, `pretest`, and `watch`. Installs do not run generation: published packages consume protocol from prebuilt `dist`, and local build/typecheck/test flows generate the source file at the point it is actually needed.
+
+## Regression Tests
+
+zod-aot is exact-pinned and young enough that compiler patches are treated as part of this package. `packages/protocol/tests/validation/ws-outbound.test.ts` keeps small regression tests for the patched cases:
+
+- discriminated-union branch output must propagate `.default()` fields
+- current sequential item routing must accept `tool_call`-like status branches
+- generated runtime imports must keep `.js` extensions for packaged Node ESM
+- the generated WebSocket envelope accepts a minimal valid message and rejects a corrupted one
+
+## Schema Purity
+
+Message schemas are structural declarations. Do not put `.transform()`, `.catch()`, or `.preprocess()` on WebSocket message schemas. If parsed data needs normalization, put it in an explicit consumer or post-validation pass.
+
+Use `z.discriminatedUnion()` when every branch has a shared literal tag. Plain `z.union()` is acceptable only when there is no shared literal discriminator or when a generated-code regression test proves that specific shape is miscompiled.
+
+Defaults are allowed only on primitive leaves. Do not place `.default()` on large arrays, item schemas, or big containers in inbound message schemas.

@@ -10,47 +10,82 @@ Extend `ACPAgentClient` from `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/acp-age
 
 The only built-in ACP provider today is `copilot` (`copilot-acp-agent.ts`). `GenericACPAgentClient` (`generic-acp-agent.ts`) is also ACP-based but is used for user-defined custom providers configured via `extends: "acp"` overrides — see [docs/custom-providers.md](custom-providers.md).
 
+Copilot custom agents are exposed through ACP session config, not the slash-command list. When custom agents are available, Copilot returns a select config option with `id: "agent"` and `category: "_agent"`; Paseo maps that to the `agent` provider feature. Copilot uses the agent display name as the option value, and the blank value means the default Copilot agent.
+
 ### Direct
 
 Implement the `AgentClient` and `AgentSession` interfaces from `agent-sdk-types.ts` yourself. This gives full control but requires you to handle process management, streaming, permissions, and session persistence from scratch.
 
 Existing direct providers: `claude` (in `providers/claude/agent.ts`), `codex` (`codex-app-server-agent.ts`), `opencode` (`opencode-agent.ts`), `pi` (`providers/pi/agent.ts`), and `omp` (a Pi-compatible built-in backed by the Pi adapter). The dev-only `mock` provider (`mock-load-test-agent.ts`) is also direct.
 
+Claude first-party model metadata lives in `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/claude/model-manifest.ts`. When adding or updating a Claude model, update that manifest only; the model picker thinking options and Claude-specific feature gates are derived from the manifest. Do not add model-specific Claude capability lists in feature code.
+
+Paseo tools are not implemented as MCP tools internally. They live in a shared tool catalog under `packages/server/src/server/agent/tools/`; MCP is only the fallback adapter. A provider that can register runtime tools directly should set `supportsNativePaseoTools: true` and consume `launchContext.paseoTools` in `createSession`/`resumeSession`. When native tools are present, `AgentManager` strips the internal Paseo MCP server from the provider launch config so the provider does not receive the same tools twice. Providers that only know MCP should keep `supportsMcpServers: true` and let the daemon inject `/mcp/agents`.
+
 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 model records expose input capabilities through `model.input`. Only send raw RPC `images` when the current model explicitly includes `"image"` in that list. Text-only Pi/OMP models reject image content and persist the rejected image in JSONL history, so image prompts for those models must be materialized to a local file and passed as a text path hint instead.
+
+Pi MCP support depends on the open-source `pi-mcp-adapter` extension being loaded for the agent cwd. Probe with Pi RPC `get_commands`; the adapter registers an extension command named `mcp` (often with `sourceInfo.source` containing `pi-mcp-adapter`). When Paseo injects MCP servers into Pi, write a per-agent MCP config and pass it with `--mcp-config` instead of modifying user or project MCP files. Because that flag replaces the Pi global config layer, preserve the existing `<Pi agent dir>/mcp.json` in the generated file before overlaying injected servers. For local HTTP servers such as Paseo's own `/mcp/agents` endpoint, explicitly disable adapter OAuth (`auth: false`, `oauth: false`) in the generated config.
 
 Pi import discovery reads Pi's persisted JSONL session files because Pi RPC does not expose a recent-session listing command. Resume and full history hydration still go through `pi --mode rpc` using the session file as `nativeHandle`.
 
 OMP is a built-in Pi-compatible provider, disabled by default. It uses the `omp` command and imports terminal-started sessions from `~/.omp/agent/sessions` when enabled. Other Pi-compatible forks can still be custom providers that extend `pi`, override `command`, and set `params.sessionDir` to their JSONL session directory.
 
+Pi and OMP currently use different RPC names for slash-command discovery. The Pi package accepts `get_commands`; OMP accepts `get_available_commands`. Keep this as an explicit adapter setting for the built-in provider instead of probing with a fallback, because both packages return unknown-command errors without the request `id`, which otherwise turns a fast mismatch into the normal RPC timeout.
+
 Pi RPC extension UI dialog requests (`select`, `input`, `editor`, `confirm`) are bridged into Paseo question permissions and answered with `extension_ui_response`. Pi extensions such as `ask_user` may chain dialogs: for example, a `select` can be followed by an optional-comment `input`. When an `ask_user` tool call declares `allowComment: true`, Paseo presents the selection and optional comment as one question permission, answers Pi's initial `select` immediately, then auto-answers the follow-up optional `input` with the comment the user already supplied (or an empty string). Preserve placeholders and optional/skip semantics for standalone optional inputs so the app can still distinguish "skip this optional input" from "cancel the whole dialog." Fire-and-forget extension UI requests such as notifications are intentionally ignored by the provider adapter unless Paseo grows first-class UI for them.
 
 OpenCode 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.
 
-Every provider adapter owns its canonical user-message timeline rows. When a foreground prompt is accepted, the adapter must emit exactly one `user_message` timeline item for that submitted prompt, using the same message ID it gives to or receives from the provider runtime. Optimistic client messages are UI-only and provider transcript echoes are optional; neither is allowed to be the only source of truth. If the provider later echoes the same submitted user message, dedupe by provider-visible message ID, not by text.

Prefer provider-visible message IDs, but ACP runtimes may omit that ID or replace it with a provider-owned one; in that case suppress only echo chunks whose accumulated text is a prefix of the active submitted prompt. Do not perform global transcript text dedupe.
 
-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.
+Draft metadata lookups should avoid creating provider sessions when the upstream provider has top-level APIs for that metadata. Prefer `AgentClient.fetchCatalog`, `listCommands`, or `listFeatures` over creating a scratch `AgentSession`; scratch sessions can show up as empty native sessions in provider import/history UIs. `fetchCatalog` is the single discovery API for models and modes — provider implementations may use one process, separate upstream calls, or static data internally, but callers outside the provider do not get separate runtime model/mode probes. Draft feature and command listing must use the explicit draft model only; if no model is selected yet, return no metadata instead of resolving a default model through catalog discovery.
 
 Provider session import has its own contract. The picker calls `listImportableSessions` and receives rows only: provider handle, cwd, title, prompt previews, and last activity. Import calls `importSession({ providerHandleId, cwd })` for the selected row and must not call listing again. The provider returns the resumed session, storage config, persistence handle, and hydrated timeline for that one native session; `AgentManager.importProviderSession` seeds the daemon timeline and publishes the Paseo agent only after it is ready.
 
+## Provider Helper Processes
+
+Provider-owned helper processes that can outlive an individual agent session must be recorded in the daemon's managed-process registry. Store provider/kind metadata, the PID, launch command/args, and process identity captured from the platform process table. Remove the record on normal exit or shutdown.
+
+If a helper process has a readiness phase, the provider's lifecycle model must own the process immediately after `spawn`, before readiness succeeds. Startup timeout, startup exit, and daemon shutdown must all clean up through that owned generation. Do not keep a spawned helper only inside a readiness promise; that creates a live process outside the manager/reaper contract.
+
+Daemon bootstrap reconciles that ledger in the background, without blocking startup: dead PIDs are deleted, PID identity mismatches are deleted without killing anything, only positively matched Paseo-owned leftovers are terminated, and a record whose process cannot be inspected is left in place for the next reconcile rather than deleted. Do not add broad process-name sweepers for provider cleanup; cleanup starts from records Paseo previously wrote.

 ## 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.
+The daemon keeps provider snapshots per resolved working directory, with a separate semantic global scope for settings/provider management and requests that do not carry a cwd. Provider catalog probes receive a discriminated `FetchCatalogOptions`: `{ scope: "global", force }` for global catalog refreshes, or `{ scope: "workspace", cwd, force }` for project-scoped refreshes. Providers decide what global means for their runtime; do not infer global by comparing a cwd to the user's home directory.
 
 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.

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.

+## Provider Usage Fetchers
+
+Provider plan usage is fetch-on-demand, not a daemon push subscription. The app calls `provider.usage.list.request` through React Query when the usage tooltip or Host Usage settings screen is shown, and the daemon returns the normalized `ProviderUsage` list directly.
+
+To add plan usage for a provider, add `packages/server/src/services/quota-fetcher/providers/<provider>.ts` and register it in `packages/server/src/services/quota-fetcher/manifest.ts`. The provider file exports only its fetcher class; provider auth, endpoint constants, API schemas, and normalization helpers stay private in that file. A fetcher owns provider auth/API parsing and returns the generic shape:
+
+- `providerId`, `displayName`, `status`, and optional `planLabel`
+- any number of `windows` such as Session, Weekly, or Biweekly
+- optional `balances` for credits, USD, requests, or tokens
+- optional `details` for provider-specific rows
+
+Keep the protocol shape provider-agnostic. Do not add provider-specific renderers for new limit windows; labels and generic bars should carry the UI. API responses should be parsed and normalized with Zod inside the fetcher, while the protocol boundary stays strict so old/new client compatibility is explicit.
+
+Kimi Code usage follows the CLI-managed credential file at `KIMI_CODE_HOME` or `~/.kimi-code/credentials/kimi-code.json`; do not probe the legacy `~/.kimi` path as the primary source for current Kimi Code installs.

 Session shrinks to a connection/dispatch shell: it keeps `handleMessage`, the `??` chain (1739-1751), `emit`/`emitBinary`, `sessionLogger`, connection identity, inflight metrics, lifecycle intents, and the **ordered** `cleanup()`. Each `dispatchXMessage` collapses to `return this.xController.dispatch(msg)`.
 
+## Progress (shipped — diverged from the original filenames)
+
+The first carves shipped as **deep modules with a narrow Host seam**, not the `dispatch(msg)`-owned-set controllers sketched below: `session.ts` keeps each `dispatchXMessage` switch and delegates per case to the subsystem. Home convention that emerged: session subsystems live at **`session/<domain>/`**, with `session.ts` as the orchestrator shell.
+
+- **#1640 — VoiceSession** (`session/voice/voice-session.ts`, seam `VoiceSessionHost`): the STT/TTS/dictation/turn-detection subsystem. _(Originally landed at `server/voice/`; relocated under `session/` so all session subsystems share one home.)_
+- **#1644 — CheckoutSession, read side** (`session/checkout/checkout-session.ts`, seam `CheckoutSessionHost`, port `CheckoutDiffSubscriber`): status, branch validate/suggest, diff subscribe/unsubscribe, manual refresh. The workspace-git observer already delegates `emitStatusUpdate`/`scheduleDiffRefresh` to it.
+
+**Next carve — CheckoutSession mutation side (Slice 4 below).** The 17 checkout _write_ handlers still inline in `session.ts` (`dispatchCheckoutMessage`, ~2010) — branch switch/rename, commit, merge, merge-from-base, pull, push, PR create/merge, github set-auto-merge/get-check-details, PR status, PR timeline, github search, stash save/pop/list — move into the existing `session/checkout/checkout-session.ts` behind `CheckoutSessionHost`. The Slice-3 observer entanglement the table fears is already resolved: #1644 moved the status/diff read side into CheckoutSession, so the workspace observer delegates today and this no longer blocks on the WorkspaceController split.
+
 ### Why this is safe at the dispatch seam (verified)
 
 `dispatchInboundMessage` builds `a() ?? b() ?? ... ?? dispatchMiscMessage()` and short-circuits on the first non-`undefined` **Promise object** (not its resolved value). Message-type spaces are **disjoint** (no duplicate `case` labels across switches), so at most one dispatcher matches any message — collapsing to delegation cannot change which handler runs. `dispatchTerminalMessage` (2150-2153) already proves this. Two quirks preserved verbatim: schedule/\* is reached via the chat dispatcher's OWN `default` arm (2183), not the top-level `??`; and `start_workspace_script_request` (a workspace type) is special-cased before terminal delegation (2150).

 When the app fetches `direction: "after"` and the daemon responds with `hasNewer: true`, the app must immediately fetch the next page from `endCursor`. The catch-up is complete only when `hasNewer: false`.
 
+Initialization timeouts guard lack of catch-up progress, not the full multi-page sync. A successful page that queues the next `after` page refreshes the watchdog.

 The first load of an agent without a local cursor is different: it fetches a bounded latest tail page. Older history remains user-driven by scrolling upward.
 
+## Durable item anchors
+
+Provider message IDs are not guaranteed for every displayed item. Paseo-generated system errors are one example. Rendered item indices are not durable either because pagination and projection can merge source rows.
+
+Actions that address a point in chat history, such as Fork, use the daemon timeline `epoch` plus the projected item's `seqEnd`. The app carries that position on the rendered assistant item for both live and fetched history. When adjacent projected chunks merge, the merged item retains the newer chunk's position.
+
+The daemon validates that the epoch is current and the exact source sequence still exists before slicing rows. It slices before projection so later lifecycle updates cannot leak into the selected context.

 When a client resumes with a known cursor, it catches up after that cursor to completion. It does not replace the view with a latest tail page, because tail pagination can skip the middle of a long background run.

 Do not flatten a caller-provided style array and pass the flattened object back to a React Native component. Unistyles style entries carry `unistyles_*` metadata; flattening two entries produces one object with multiple metadata keys and triggers the runtime warning: "use array syntax instead of object syntax." Preserve caller styles as arrays, and only flatten the dynamic geometry value you explicitly own. If that owned value was flattened from a mixed style prop, strip `unistyles_*` metadata before sending it through `inlineUnistylesStyle`.
 
+Do not register an existing Unistyles style inside another `StyleSheet.create` either. That also combines two metadata identities into one object. Reuse the original style directly at the component:

 `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.
