 ### Notes

 - The first upgrade from 0.14.0 still closes terminals; terminal preservation starts once the new daemon is installed, and Windows desktop app upgrades still close them
- Automatic agent recovery is on by default and sends `Resume working.`; change the prompt or disable it in Host settings → Agents
+- Agent recovery is off by default; turn on **Resume agents after restart** in Host settings → Agents to send `Resume working.` or your own prompt
 - Before downgrading to 0.14.0, restore a backed-up `config.json` or remove the saved agent-resume and usage-check settings

-Sizes: `xs` for ultra-tight inline triggers. `sm` for any button sitting in a row. `md` is the page default. `lg` is reserved for large standalone CTAs.
+Controls come in two sizes, defined once in `control-geometry.ts`. The default is the right size almost everywhere — pages, dialogs, forms, settings rows, the setup flow — so don't pass a size. It is 32px tall where a pointer drives it and 44px in the compact layout, so every phone control is a full touch target; the breakpoint, not the caller, makes that choice. `sm` is 28px with `fontSize.sm` labels and is for tight chrome only: toolbars, nested settings rows, dense inline row actions. A `size="sm"` on an ordinary page or dialog is wrong, and so is choosing a size from `useIsCompactFormFactor()`.

-Sizes are a shared contract across control kinds, defined once in `control-geometry.ts`: `xs` = 28px tall with `fontSize.sm` labels, `sm` = 32px with `fontSize.base`, `md`/`lg` = 44px with `fontSize.base`. `<SegmentedControl>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/segmented-control.tsx`) takes the same `xs`/`sm`/`md` sizes — a segmented control next to a `<Button>` of the same size always matches in height, label size, and corner radius. Its segments run one padding step tighter than a button, because the gap between segments already reads as padding. The selected segment is a `surface3` fill with `foreground` text, not an inverted one — inverting it inside thin chrome puts a white slab in the toolbar. Text fields take `xs`, `sm` and `md`. Thin chrome such as the file toolbar uses `xs`. A settings row sizes the controls in its trailing slot itself, `sm` in a card and `xs` when nested (`packages/app/src/components/ui/control-size.tsx`), so don't pass a size to a button, dropdown or field placed in a row. Never shrink a control's font or padding locally to fit a context — if the context needs a smaller control, the size tier is missing or the wrong one is in use.
+Buttons are pills (`borderRadius.full`) with medium-weight labels; an icon-only button is a circle. `<Switch>` follows the same two sizes: a 34×20 track by default and in `sm`, 44×26 in the compact layout, and it reserves its size's control height so a row holding one lines up with a row holding a button. Buttons, text fields, dropdown triggers, and `<SegmentedControl>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/segmented-control.tsx`) share the size contract — the same size name means the same height and label size on every control kind, so controls in one row line up. Segments run tighter than a button, because the gap between segments already reads as padding. The selected segment is a `surface3` fill with `foreground` text, not an inverted one — inverting it inside thin chrome puts a white slab in the toolbar.

+# Keyboard shortcuts

+Define shortcuts in [the shared binding table](../packages/app/src/keyboard/keyboard-shortcuts.ts). Platforms contribute key sources, not separate action maps, so matching and user rebinds stay consistent across runtimes. Add a shortcut through a binding; add platform support through a key source.
+
+## Badges and routing
+
+Routing runs whenever the app mounts its key sources, independently of layout.
+Use `useHardwareKeyboardPresent()` for hints and the Shortcuts settings section.
+iOS reads `GCKeyboard.coalesced` and connection notifications. Android watches input
+devices and hardware keyboard configuration. Web starts with a fine hover pointer and recognizes the first modified
+keydown, including on touch devices. Compact Electron keeps its bindings.
+
+Keyboard navigation needs the sidebar's filtered workspace model even when its visual
+panel is hidden. Retain that model while keyboard navigation is active; gating it on
+panel visibility leaves number shortcuts with no targets after a compact startup.
+
+Composer send-key customization remains a separate capability. Native retains its
+existing Return submission path; advertising its web-only customization would expose
+settings the native composer does not implement.
+
+## Native sources
+
+Use the iOS window press stream for hardware keys. `UIKeyCommand` only takes keys
+that must bypass the focused text control: composer Return and the top overlay's
+Enter and arrows. Keep the stream as the sole shortcut emitter: a command-owned
+press is still observed by the window.
+
+The source spike used an iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) simulator on iOS 18.6 with a
+`UITextView` first responder. Both `UIWindow.sendEvent` and the root controller's
+`pressesBegan` received Cmd+B, Cmd+P and Escape. With Escape registered as a
+`UIKeyCommand`, the window observed it and the command handler also ran.
+
+Simulator reserves Cmd+K for Toggle Software Keyboard. Injecting it produced
+HID 184 with empty characters rather than K; plain K, Cmd+B and Cmd+P arrived
+normally. Keep Simulator input capture off: Send Keyboard Input to Device
+prevented synthetic AppleScript input from arriving, including plain text.
+For simulator QA, use Cmd+B/P to check delivery and rebind the command center to
+Cmd+J to check toggle and rebind behavior. Cmd+K delivery needs a physical iPad.
+Simulator also reserves Cmd+1…4, Cmd+Shift+A and Cmd+comma. Exercise those actions
+through rebinds. For numeric injection, use AppleScript physical key codes (for example
+25 for 9); `keystroke "9"` did not deliver a digit in the QA session.
+Simulator exposes a virtual `GCKeyboard` even with Connect Hardware Keyboard off.
+Verify the iOS absence case on a physical iPhone.
+
+Never register Backspace: it would take deletion away from text fields. Changes
+to the native module require a native rebuild; an over-the-air JavaScript update
+cannot deliver them.
+
+## Overlay ownership
+
+Register keyboard handling with `useOverlayRegistration` from `@/keyboard`.
+Pass the surface's open state, layer, handled keys and `onKeyDown`. The highest
+layer gets first refusal; the latest registration wins a tie. Native registration
+does not need a DOM ref. Web adds focus trapping and restoration through its adapter.
+
+Capture a global overlay’s layer in state for its opening lifetime. Memo caches can
+be discarded or removed by React Compiler; recomputing against the registry lets an
+open modal rise above its own children and creates competing focus traps.
+
+Declare Enter and arrow keys only while the surface owns them. Native sources
+use the top overlay's declarations to take those keys before text controls edit.
+Backspace stays with the focused input. Composition confirmation must not select
+an overlay row or submit the composer.
+
+Android modals have their own windows. Observe them through React Native's
+`ExtraWindowEventListener` as well as the activity window. The dev client bypasses
+Expo's root-container handler, so an activity root-view wrapper misses presses.
+A modal can forward an unhandled event into the activity window. Observe the event
+once across that nested delivery without retaining recycled Android `KeyEvent`s.
+Keep an overlay-owned press consumed through key-up, even if its key-down closes
+the overlay; otherwise the modal's default Escape handler can close a second layer.
+
+iOS scene startup installs the observing window after Expo creates its root view.
+Keep that integration in the hardware keyboard module's config plugin. Its window
+owns both the press stream and the text-control key commands, including above modals.
+
+## Focus scopes
+
+The composer and terminal declare focus with `useKeyboardFocusSurface`. Native
+scope derives from those declarations and command-center state. Releasing an old
+surface must not clear a newer owner's declaration during a tab switch. Web keeps
+its DOM-derived scope.
+
+Escape interrupts an agent only in the message input or an unclaimed surface.
+A focused terminal excludes that binding. The source leaves terminal Escape alone;
+terminal Escape/Ctrl forwarding is a separate feature.

-Workspace file links use the shared file-link resolver. The workspace supplies its client, root and open-file action once; chat can supply the agent's more specific context. URLs use the same link press path. Recognized inline-code paths stay tappable. The library callback carries the tapped occurrence’s syntax context. Preserve it when opening files: explicit Markdown links decode URL escapes, while recognized inline-code paths preserve literal percent characters and use suffix lookup. Identical URL strings in different occurrences must stay distinct. Explicit absolute workspace links receive a relative hover title; existing authored titles remain intact.

Identical URL strings in different occurrences must stay distinct. Explicit absolute workspace links receive a relative hover title; existing authored titles remain intact. Inside a workspace, forge references such as `#12` and `owner/repo#12` are recognized in prose (not code) and open the workspace forge; the reference pattern comes before path recognition so `group/project#12` is not read as a path. See [forge providers](forge-providers.md#gotchas).

-Resolve workspace image paths over the existing session RPC, then give the library a cached native file URL or web blob URL. HTTP(S) images pass through unchanged. This preserves relay, SSH and local socket connections, which do not expose a daemon HTTP endpoint. Each mounted renderer owns its image acquisition identity, so a later reply reads a rewritten path again while the earlier mounted reply retains its snapshot. Image taps open the attachment lightbox. File previews resolve relative images against the Markdown file's directory. An image alone on its line becomes its own paragraph before the library sees it, so it renders as a block on every platform; the library only treats sole-child paragraph images as blocks, and with hard soft breaks every newline is a break node, which left own-line images inline on iOS and web. Images that share a line with text stay inline.

+RPC and subscription contracts validate inputs, outputs, and events in both the app and plugin
+subprocess. `useRpc` returns a typed async function. Use the host-provided `@tanstack/react-query`
+for request state and caching; Paseo gives each plugin installation its own query client.
+
+A subscription is a session-owned observation (`plugin-rpc` delivery family): the session that
+subscribed owns its lifetime, so release, disconnect, plugin stop, and reload need no plugin code.
+Each subscriber gets its own handler call in the subprocess; there is no fan-out or replay. The
+runtime buffers pushes until the session has sent `plugin.rpc.subscribe.response`, so a client
+never sees an event for an unknown subscription. The app installation's lifetime aborts every
+subscription its surfaces left open, and a reload replaces the installation, which resubscribes
+mounted hooks.
+
+The byte rule (a top-level `Uint8Array` is binary, a nested one is a validation error) is checked
+once per hop by `assertPluginWireValue`. Bytes ride plugin binary frames, opcodes `0x20`-`0x2f`
+(`packages/protocol/src/binary-frames/plugin.ts`); nothing on the path copies or re-encodes them,
+and `plugin-subscriptions.perf.e2e.test.ts` locks that. Keep it that way: never stringify a plugin
+payload for a log, and the client's bootstrap buffer holds bytes only until the first observer
+attaches. Binary outputs reach only clients that send `pluginBinaryPayloads`. A binary input
+frame (`0x22`) becomes a synthetic `plugin.rpc.invoke.request` and runs through the normal message
+path, so it is authorized like any other invoke. The author contract, including the native upload
+limit, is in [stream events from the daemon](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#subscriptions).

 `usePaseo()` and the handler's `{ paseo }` context expose the same `PaseoApi`: projects,
 workspaces, agents, terminals, providers, and daemon config. They do not expose connection lifecycle.
