-### Writing docs
-
-- **Integrate, don't append.** Find the doc that owns the subject and rewrite the part that is now wrong. The standard failure is finishing a task and adding a paragraph to the bottom of the closest-looking doc; ten tasks later the doc is a pile of paragraphs in discovery order. `docs/custom-providers.md` is what that looks like.
-- **Don't document logic.** Prose that restates code drifts from the code and loses. Write down what the code can't tell you: why something is shaped the way it is, the gotcha that cost an afternoon, conventions nothing enforces, constraints that span packages or versions. If a reader could get it in two minutes by opening the file, cut it.
-- **One fact, one doc.** Every other mention is a link. If you are about to write the same paragraph in two docs, one of them is a link.
-- **Respect the layers.** `CONTRIBUTING.md` and this file name things and link out. Activity docs like `docs/qa.md` and `docs/testing.md` set the bar for a kind of work. Subject docs like `docs/unistyles.md` own one thing completely. A layer never re-explains the one below it.
-- **One subject per doc.** If the subject doesn't fit in a sentence, split the doc. A section per provider, vendor, or platform is a table plus one worked example.
-- **Delete.** Obsolete sections go. Prefer a `packages/app/src/thing.ts:120` reference over a pasted block.
-- **New doc?** Add a row to the table above and link it from the docs that should send readers there.
-- Code-level facts belong in comments next to the code, not here.
-
-### Doc voice
-
-Plain and short. Second person. State the rule, then the reason when the reason isn't obvious. Match the doc you're editing.
-
-Do not:
-
-- Write a sentence to land a point. "It's not X, it's Y", "That's not a Z, that's a W", and every other setup-and-punchline shape.
-- Add a clause that only asserts importance: "and that matters", "which is what keeps it working", "this is critical".
-- Use "honest", "robust", "seamless", "powerful", "simply", "just", "delightful".
-- Restate something you already said, in different words, for emphasis.
-- Hedge with "generally", "typically", or "you may want to" when the answer is "do this".
-- Clear your throat: "It's worth noting that", "In order to", "This section covers".

-Repo dev commands use checkout-local state by default. In this checkout, `PASEO_HOME` resolves to `.dev/paseo-home`, and `npm run cli -- ...` targets that same dev home automatically. The packaged desktop app and production-style daemon keep using `~/.paseo` on port `6767`.

 ## Critical rules
 
 - **NEVER restart the main Paseo daemon on port 6767 without permission** — it manages all running agents. If you're an agent, restarting it kills your own process.
 - **NEVER assume a timeout means the service needs restarting** — timeouts can be transient.
 - **NEVER add auth checks to tests** — agent providers handle their own auth.
-- **Before changing app routes, startup routing, remembered workspace restore, or active workspace selection, read [docs/expo-router.md](docs/expo-router.md).**
 - **NEVER run the full test suite locally.** The test suites are heavy and will freeze the machine, especially if multiple agents run them in parallel. Rules:
   - Run only the specific test file you changed: `npx vitest run <file> --bail=1`
   - Never run `npm run test` for an entire workspace unless explicitly asked.
   - If you must run a broad suite, pipe output to a file and read it afterward: `npx vitest run <file> --bail=1 > /tmp/test-output.txt 2>&1` then read the file.
   - Never re-run a test suite that another agent already ran and reported green — trust the result.
   - For full suite verification, push to CI and check GitHub Actions instead.
-- Add tests to existing suites and reuse their npm scripts and CI jobs instead of creating feature-specific ones.
 - **Always run typecheck and lint after every change.**
 - **Build workspace packages before diagnosing cross-package type errors.** This repo consumes generated declarations across workspaces. If typecheck fails in a package that depends on another workspace, rebuild the owning stack first so `dist` declarations are current:

-- **The protocol stays backward-compatible. Features don't have to.** Read [docs/protocol-compatibility.md](docs/protocol-compatibility.md) before touching `packages/protocol`. The short version:
-  - **Protocol contract (always):** an old client parses messages from a new daemon, and a new daemon parses messages from an old client. New fields are optional; never narrow, never remove, never require. Wire schemas stay pure — no `.transform()`, `.catch()`, or `.preprocess()`.
-  - **Feature contract (per-feature):** gate the capability once on `server_info.features.*`, then run the feature or tell the user to update the host. No fallback paths, no defensive branches.
-  - **Every shim is tagged.** `// COMPAT(name): added in vX, remove after <date>` at the site that has to be deleted. `rg "COMPAT\("` is the cleanup backlog; untagged back-compat is permanent by accident.
-  - **New RPCs use dotted namespaces with direction suffixes.** Follow [docs/rpc-namespacing.md](docs/rpc-namespacing.md): `domain.provider.operation.request` pairs with `domain.provider.operation.response`. Existing flat RPC names will migrate over time; don't add new ones.
+- **The protocol stays backward-compatible. Features don't have to.** Two separate contracts:
+  - **Protocol contract (always):** schema changes must not break parsing in either direction. An old client must still parse messages from a new daemon; a new daemon must still parse messages from an old client.
+    - New fields: `.optional()` with a sensible default or `.transform()` fallback.
+    - Never flip optional → required, remove fields, or narrow types (`string` → `enum`, `nullable` → non-null).
+    - Removed fields stay accepted (we stop sending them, not stop reading them).
+    - Test with: "does a 6-month-old client still parse this?" and "does a 6-month-old daemon still send something this client accepts?"
+  - **Feature contract (per-feature):** a new feature may require a new daemon capability. The client detects whether the capability is present and either runs the feature or shows "Update the host to use this." That's it.
+    - **No fallback paths.** Don't write a degraded version of a new feature that runs on old daemons. Don't fan out across legacy RPCs to simulate a missing capability. The user upgrades or doesn't get the feature.
+    - **No defensive branches scattered through the feature.** Capability detection happens in one place; downstream code reads a clean shape.
+    - **Capability flags live in `server_info.features.*`** with a single `// COMPAT(featureName): added in v0.1.X, drop the gate when floor >= v0.1.X` comment marking the cleanup site.
+    - Existing functionality keeps working across versions — that's the protocol contract doing its job. New-feature degradation is not the goal.
+    - **New RPCs use dotted namespaces with direction suffixes.** Follow [docs/rpc-namespacing.md](docs/rpc-namespacing.md): `domain.provider.operation.request` pairs with `domain.provider.operation.response`. Existing flat RPC names will migrate over time; don't add new ones.

+- **All back-compat shims are tagged and dated for cleanup.** Every shim that exists for old-client/old-daemon support carries a `COMPAT(name)` comment with the version it was added in and a target removal date (typically 6 months out). One grep — `rg "COMPAT\("` — should produce the full list of cleanup work. Don't bury back-compat in untagged `??`-fallbacks or optional-chain tunnels — that's how it stops being deletable.

 # Contributing to Paseo
 
-This guide is here to save us both time and help you find a useful way to contribute.
+Paseo is an opinionated product maintained by one person.
 
-Paseo grows through bug reports, testing, workflow discussions, plugins, documentation, and people helping each other. The sections below explain where each contribution belongs and what to expect.
+I read every issue and PR myself, and I am selective about what contributions I accept.
 
-## Philosophy
+Good ideas still need to fit the shape of the product: a PR can be technically correct and still not belong in Paseo.
 
-**Paseo has a lean, opinionated core built to be extended.**
+Core product, design, architecture, and workflow changes are not accepted.
 
-The goal is a low floor and a high ceiling: a polished default experience that is easy to understand, with the flexibility to choose your providers, run on your own infrastructure, and build your own workflows. Paseo should remain self-hosted and respectful of your privacy and control.
+Follow these rules if you want your PR to be merged:
 
-The core continues to evolve through improvements to the shared experience. Specialized workflows and integrations belong in the extension ecosystem. Product, design, architecture, and workflow decisions remain with the maintainer.
+- Keep it to one focused change
+- Link to an issue
+- Explain the problem you're solving
+- Include repro steps if it's a bug
+- Include QA/testing evidence
+- UI changes need screenshots or video for every affected platform: iOS, Android, desktop, and web
+- If you only tested one platform, say that clearly
 
-Read the [product philosophy](docs/product.md) for the reasoning behind these choices and how Paseo develops.
+Your PR will be closed if you do any of these:
 
-## Build a plugin
+- Bundle unrelated changes
+- Fail basic checks like typecheck, formatting or linting
+- Make product, design, or architecture changes without prior discussion
+- Submit no evidence of testing
+- Skip the linked issue
+- Clearly fully AI-generated PR
 
-Most specialized workflows and integrations are better served by plugins.
+## AI assistance
 
-Plugins let you build what you need, share it, and maintain it independently. Start with the [plugin documentation](https://paseo.sh/docs/plugins). For applications and integrations built around Paseo, see the [SDK documentation](https://paseo.sh/docs/sdk).
-
-If an extension point is missing, describe the workflow in [Discussions](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/discussions). A reusable capability that enables several plugins may be a better addition than implementing one particular workflow in core.
-
-## Report bugs
-
-Open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/issues) and fill out the bug report template.
-
-Include:
-
-- What you did, what you expected, and what happened.
-- Reproduction steps, Paseo version, and platform.
-- Relevant logs, screenshots, or a recording.
-
-If an agent investigated, include the evidence and reproduction steps it collected. Its explanation of the cause still needs verification.
-
-Focused fixes for reproducible bugs are welcome. If you submit one, follow the pull request and QA guidance below.
-
-## Discuss workflows before proposing features
-
-Product discussions, including feature requests, belong in [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/discussions). Feature requests opened as issues will be closed.
-
-Explain:
-
-- What are you trying to do?
-- How do you do it today?
-- Where does Paseo get in the way?
-- What would a better workflow look like?
-
-This helps other people describe their needs and gives me useful context when deciding what to build.
-
-There is no feature request backlog or commitment to implement a discussion. I may read and learn from it without replying.
-
-## If you still want to submit a pull request
-
-After considering plugins and discussing the workflow, you may still want to propose a change to core. Focused fixes for reproducible bugs are also welcome.
-
-**Pull requests are closed by default.** I may reopen the ones I want to take forward. Submit one only if you are comfortable with it being closed without a detailed review or explanation.
-
-Paseo receives more pull requests than I can responsibly review. Reviewing every submission and explaining every decision would consume the time available for developing the product.
-
-I can prompt an agent to write code just as you can. The bottlenecks are choosing what to build, shaping it, verifying its behavior, and taking responsibility for its maintenance. A finished implementation still leaves that work to do.
-
-If you choose to submit a PR, these are the basics to cover.
-
-### What I look for in a core feature
-
-- **Demonstrated demand.** Link a discussion with concrete examples of other users needing the workflow. A feature for a small, specialized use case belongs in a plugin.
-- **Value across workflows.** The feature should improve how existing capabilities work together and benefit a broad set of users. A reusable improvement is more valuable than an isolated control for one task.
-- **A coherent design across platforms and providers.** Shared capabilities should work across platforms and providers wherever applicable. Do not reshape a shared abstraction around one provider while leaving the others unsupported or inconsistent.
-- **A finished experience.** Follow the [design guidelines](docs/design.md). The feature must look and feel right in Paseo, including loading states, layout stability, and interaction performance. PRs with janky or rushed interfaces will be closed. Design judgment remains with the maintainer.
-
-### Keep the scope small
-
-Submit one focused change. PRs adding more than roughly **3,000 lines of production code** are unlikely to be accepted. Prefer the smallest complete improvement that can be tested and understood on its own.
-
-### QA evidence
-
-Run the changed application or service and test the affected workflow yourself. Include detailed QA evidence so I can see what you exercised and what happened. PRs without this verification and evidence will be closed, whether they fix a bug or add a feature.
-
-Explain the problem and link the relevant bug report or discussion. Include:
-
-- Automated tests that exercise the changed behavior. A bug fix needs a regression test that fails on the broken version.
-- The commands you ran and their output.
-- A recording for interactive UI changes, or before-and-after screenshots for static changes.
-- The platforms you tested and any affected platforms you could not test.
-
-The [QA guide](docs/qa.md) explains the expected evidence and available tooling.

-Using an agent is welcome. Sending it to implement a change and submitting its output without trying the result yourself does not meet this bar.
-
-**Satisfying all of the above does not mean your pull request will be merged.**
-
-### What happens to your contribution
-
-If I take a contribution forward, I may narrow it, reshape it, or use it as a reference for my own implementation. **You will be credited for your contribution, including when I reimplement it.**
-
-A closed PR does not necessarily mean the underlying problem was dismissed. It means I am not taking that submission forward. Detailed reviews, individual explanations, and follow-up discussions cannot be provided at this volume.

-## Help the community
-
-Testing betas, reproducing bugs, improving documentation, sharing plugins, and answering questions all help Paseo develop.
-
-There is no formal process for becoming a maintainer. Consistent involvement and good judgment build the shared context needed to take on more responsibility.
+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.

-   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+                            Preamble
 
-   1. Definitions.
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
+cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
 
-      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
-      and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.
 
-      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
-      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
 
-      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
-      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
-      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
-      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
-      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
-      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
-      outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+  Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
+with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
+you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
+and/or modify the software.
 
-      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
-      exercising permissions granted by this License.
+  A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
+improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
+receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
+incorporate.  Many developers of free software are heartened and
+encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However, in the case of
+software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
+The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
+letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
+source code to the public.
 
-      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
-      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
-      source, and configuration files.
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
+ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
+to the community.  It requires the operator of a network server to
+provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
+users of that server.  Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
+a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
+code of the modified version.
 
-      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
-      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
-      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
-      and conversions to other media types.
+  An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
+published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals.  This is
+a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
+released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
+this license.
 
-      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
-      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
-      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
-      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
 
-      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
-      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
-      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
-      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
-      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
-      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
-      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 
-      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
-      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
-      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
-      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
-      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
-      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
-      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
-      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
-      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
-      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
-      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
-      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
-      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+  0. Definitions.
 
-      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
-      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
-      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
 
-   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
-      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
-      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
 
-   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
-      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
-      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
-      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
-      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
 
-   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
 
-      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
-          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
 
-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
 
-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
 
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
 
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
+  1. Source Code.
 
-   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
 
-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
 
-   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
 
-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
 
-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
 
-   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
 
-   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
+  2. Basic Permissions.
 
-      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
-      boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
-      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
-      the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
-      comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
-      file or class name and description of purpose be included on the
-      same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier
-      identification within third-party archives.
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
 
-   Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
 
-   Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
-   you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
-   You may obtain a copy of the License at
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
 
-       http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
 
-   Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software
-   distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-   WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.
-   See the License for the specific language governing permissions and
-   limitations under the License.
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
+Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
+interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
+supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
+Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
+from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
+means of facilitating copying of software.  This Corresponding Source
+shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
+of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
+following paragraph.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
+3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions
+will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
+network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
+get its source.  For example, if your program is a web application, its
+interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
+of the code.  There are many ways you could offer source, and different
+solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
+specific requirements.
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

-### 데스크톱 앱(권장)
-
-[paseo.sh/download](https://paseo.sh/download) 또는 [GitHub 릴리스 페이지](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/releases)에서 다운로드하세요. 앱을 열면 데몬이 자동으로 시작됩니다. 별도로 설치할 것은 없습니다.
-
-휴대폰에서 연결하려면 **설정 → 호스트 → 기기 페어링**을 여세요.
-
-### CLI / 헤드리스 환경
-
-CLI를 설치하고 Paseo를 시작하세요.
-
-```bash
-npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
-paseo
-```
-
-Paseo가 로컬에서 시작된 뒤 기기 페어링을 위한 종단 간 암호화 릴레이를 켤지 묻습니다. 거절하면 TCP, Tailscale 또는 다른 VPN으로 직접 연결할 수 있습니다. 이 방식은 서버나 원격 머신에서 유용합니다.
-
-자세한 설치와 설정은 아래 문서를 참고하세요.
-
-- [문서](https://paseo.sh/docs)
-- [연결 가이드](https://paseo.sh/docs/connectivity)
-- [설정 레퍼런스](https://paseo.sh/docs/configuration)
-
-### Docker
-
-Docker에서 Paseo 데몬과 셀프 호스팅 웹 UI를 실행하세요:
-
-```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
-```
-
-컨테이너가 시작되면 `http://localhost:6767`을 여세요. 사용하는 에이전트 CLI를 기본 이미지에 추가한 뒤, 환경 변수나 영구 `/home/paseo` 볼륨으로 인증 정보를 설정하세요. 자세한 내용은 [Docker 문서](docs/docker.md)를 참고하세요.
-
-## CLI
-
-앱에서 할 수 있는 모든 작업은 터미널에서도 할 수 있습니다.
-
-```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                           # 실행 중인 에이전트 목록
-paseo attach abc123                # 실시간 출력 스트리밍
-paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # 후속 작업 전송
-
-# 원격 데몬에서 실행
-paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"
-```
-
-자세한 내용은 [전체 CLI 레퍼런스](https://paseo.sh/docs/cli)를 참고하세요.
-
-## 스킬
-
-스킬은 에이전트가 Paseo를 통해 다른 에이전트를 오케스트레이션하는 방법을 알려 줍니다.
-
-```bash
-npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
-```
-
-그런 다음 어떤 에이전트 대화에서든 아래 명령을 사용할 수 있습니다.
-
-- `/paseo-handoff` — 에이전트 간에 작업을 넘깁니다. Claude로 계획을 세운 뒤 Codex에 구현을 넘길 때 이 기능을 씁니다.
-- `/paseo-advisor` — 작업 자체를 넘기지 않고, 에이전트 하나를 조언자로 띄워 두 번째 의견을 받습니다.
-- `/paseo-committee` — 서로 다른 관점의 에이전트 두 개로 위원회를 구성해, 한 발 물러나 근본 원인을 분석하고 계획을 세웁니다.
-
-## 개발
-
-모노레포 패키지 구성은 다음과 같습니다.

-Paseo is a desktop, mobile, web, and CLI app for coding agents. Open the desktop app and work: agents, editor, terminals, diffs, pull requests, and a browser in one window. Run many agents at once, each in its own worktree, on one machine or several. The mobile app is the full app, native on iOS and Android.

+
+Run agents in parallel on your own machines. Ship from your phone or your desk.
 
-- **Parallel agents:** Run many agents at once, each in its own worktree.
-- **Built-in orchestration:** Agents in Paseo can create worktrees, launch other agents, and talk to them, across providers.
-- **Full IDE:** Edit files, review diffs, open pull requests, and run terminals, in split panes you arrange how you want.
 - **Self-hosted:** Agents run on your machine with your full dev environment. Use your tools, your configs, and your skills.
-- **Multi-provider:** Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi, Antigravity, and Muse Code through the same interface. Pick the right model for each job.

-在你自己的机器上并行运行 agents。无论在手机上还是桌前，都能推进交付。
-
-- **自托管：** Agents 在你的机器上运行，使用完整的本地开发环境、工具、配置和技能。
-- **多提供商：** 通过同一个界面使用 Claude Code、Codex、Copilot、OpenCode 和 Pi。为每个任务选择合适的模型。
-- **语音控制：** 在语音模式下口述任务或讨论问题。需要免手操作时很方便。
-- **跨设备：** 支持 iOS、Android、桌面端、Web 和 CLI。在桌前开始工作，用手机查看进度，也可以从终端脚本化操作。
-- **隐私优先：** Paseo 没有遥测、追踪，也不会强制登录。
-
-## 快速开始
-
-Paseo 会运行一个名为 daemon 的本地服务，用来管理你的 coding agents。桌面 app、移动 app、Web app 和 CLI 等客户端都会连接到它。
-
-### 前置条件
-
-你至少需要安装一个 agent CLI，并用你的凭据完成配置：
-
-- [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)
-
-### 桌面 app（推荐）
-
-从 [paseo.sh/download](https://paseo.sh/download) 或 [GitHub releases 页面](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/releases)下载。打开 app 后 daemon 会自动启动，不需要再安装其他东西。
-
-如果要从手机连接，在 Settings 中扫描显示的二维码。
-
-### CLI / 无头模式
-
-安装 CLI 并启动 Paseo：
-
-```bash
-npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
-paseo
-```
-
-终端中会显示一个二维码。你可以从任意客户端连接。这个方式适合服务器和远程机器。
-
-完整安装和配置见：
-
-- [文档](https://paseo.sh/docs)
-- [配置参考](https://paseo.sh/docs/configuration)
-
-## CLI
-
-你能在 app 中完成的事情，也都可以在终端中完成。
-
-```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                           # 列出正在运行的 agents
-paseo attach abc123                # 实时流式查看输出
-paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # 发送后续任务
-
-# 在远程 daemon 上运行
-paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"
-```
-
-更多内容见[完整 CLI 参考](https://paseo.sh/docs/cli)。
-
-## Skills
-
-Skills 会教你的 agent 使用 Paseo 来编排其他 agents。
-
-```bash
-npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
-```
-
-然后在任意 agent 对话中使用：
-
-- `/paseo-handoff` — 在 agents 之间交接工作。我会用它先和 Claude 规划，再交给 Codex 实现。
-- `/paseo-advisor` — 启动单个 agent 作为 advisor，提供第二意见，但不把工作委托出去。
-- `/paseo-committee` — 组建两个风格互补的 agents，让它们后退一步做根因分析并产出计划。
-
-## 开发
-
-Monorepo 包结构速览：
-
-- `packages/server`：Paseo daemon（agent 进程编排、WebSocket API、MCP server）
-- `packages/app`：Expo 客户端（iOS、Android、Web）
-- `packages/cli`：用于 daemon 和 agent 工作流的 `paseo` CLI
-- `packages/desktop`：Electron 桌面 app
-- `packages/relay`：用于远程连接的 relay 包
-- `packages/website`：营销站点和文档（`paseo.sh`）
-
-常用命令：
-
-```bash
-# 运行所有本地开发服务
-npm run dev
-
-# 单独运行某个界面
-npm run dev:server
-npm run dev:app
-npm run dev:desktop
-npm run dev:website
-
-# 构建 server stack
-npm run build:server
-
-# 全仓库检查
-npm run typecheck
-```

 The QR code or pairing link is the trust anchor. It contains the daemon's public key, which is required to establish the encrypted connection. Treat it like a password — don't share it publicly.
 
-When a daemon password is configured, new relay clients send it in the encrypted `hello` message. This release still admits relay clients that send no credential so existing mobile builds continue to connect. A wrong password is rejected. The next release will require the password for relay connections after updated mobile builds are available.

 ## Local daemon trust boundary
 
-By default, the daemon binds to `127.0.0.1`. With no password configured, anything that can reach the daemon socket can control the daemon. Loopback is reachable by other users on the machine and by some forwarding tools.
+By default, the daemon binds to `127.0.0.1`. With no password configured, the local control plane is trusted by network reachability — anything that can reach the daemon socket can control the daemon. This is the same security model Docker documents for its daemon: the security boundary is access to the socket or listening address.
 
-The daemon supports an optional shared-secret password (set via `auth.password` in `config.json` or the `PASEO_PASSWORD` env var; stored bcrypt-hashed). WebSocket clients send the password in `hello`; the daemon sends no session data before admission. Direct connections still accept bearer headers and WebSocket bearer subprotocols for older clients. HTTP stays bearer-header based. Health (`GET /api/health`) and CORS preflight (`OPTIONS`) are exempt; `/api/files/download` and `/mcp/agents` use their own capability tokens.
-
-The daemon writes a new `$PASEO_HOME/local-credential` on every run with mode `0600` and removes it on shutdown. The CLI and desktop main process read it only for the daemon whose PID lock `listen` matches their connection target. A same-user process can read this credential, so the password protects against network clients and other OS users, not processes running as the daemon user. Protect `$PASEO_HOME` accordingly. Relay traffic remains end-to-end encrypted independently of password admission.
+The daemon also supports an optional shared-secret password (set via `auth.password` in `config.json` or the `PASEO_PASSWORD` env var; stored bcrypt-hashed). When configured, every HTTP request must carry `Authorization: Bearer <password>` and every WebSocket upgrade must include a `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: paseo.bearer.<password>` subprotocol. Browser WebSocket cannot set custom headers, which is why the token rides in the subprotocol. Health (`GET /api/health`) and CORS preflight (`OPTIONS`) are exempt. The password is intended for direct-TCP exposure (e.g. `tcp://host:port?ssl=true&password=...`); it is **not** a substitute for the relay's E2E encryption when traversing untrusted networks.
 
 Connected clients are trusted operators of the daemon user. File previews follow that authority: a preview request may read any regular file the daemon process can read, while keeping path normalization and symlink checks in the daemon file service. Workspace-relative paths remain a UI convenience, not a security boundary.
 
-When Paseo checks out a change request from a different repository, it does not run that workspace's `paseo.json` setup, automatic terminals, named scripts, or teardown until you explicitly run setup for that workspace. The decision lasts for the workspace and does not re-prompt after new commits. Same-repository changes, ordinary branches, local workspaces, agent launches, terminals, explicit shell commands, and metadata-generation instructions are outside this gate.
-
 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.

 Paseo validates the `Host` header on every HTTP request and every WebSocket upgrade against an allowlist (Vite-style semantics). By default, only `localhost`, `*.localhost`, and any literal IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) are accepted. Additional hostnames can be configured via `hostnames` in `config.json` or the `PASEO_HOSTNAMES` env var (comma-separated; entries beginning with `.` match a domain and its subdomains; the value `true` disables the allowlist entirely). Requests with unrecognized hosts are rejected with `403 Host not allowed`.
 
-## HTML file preview
-
-Previewing an `.html` file in the file pane renders it as a page, so markup an agent wrote — or markup that arrived with a repo you cloned — executes when you open it. The preview is built to contain that, not to trust it.
-
-The document loads with an opaque origin and a policy that permits inline script and style and refuses everything else: no remote script, font, image, or media; no `fetch`, XHR, WebSocket, or beacon; no form posts; no plugins; no nested frames. It has no access to Paseo's DOM, and storage and cookie APIs throw inside it rather than returning anything. It cannot navigate the top window, and it cannot open popups. It cannot read any file but itself.
-
-One gap remains on web and desktop: a sandboxed document may navigate _itself_, and no CSP directive in current browsers prevents that. `navigate-to` was dropped from CSP Level 3 and is not enforced, and `<meta http-equiv="refresh">` needs no script at all. A hostile page can therefore reach a server by navigating away, carrying data available inside the preview, such as its own contents, browser and device properties, user input inside the page, and your IP address. It cannot read Paseo, another file, storage, or cookies.
-
-Native builds narrow this gap rather than closing it outright. The WebView refuses every navigation after the initial document, but that decision is made in the app's JavaScript, and on Android the WebView falls back to allowing a navigation when the decision doesn't come back in time. Treat it as a strong mitigation, not a guarantee: if the JS thread is stalled at the moment a page navigates, the same leak is possible there too.
-
-If you don't trust a page, read it in `Source`, which executes nothing. Source is available as an editable view on supported web hosts and a read-only view everywhere else.
-
 ## Agent authentication
 
 Paseo wraps agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) but does not manage their authentication. Each agent provider handles its own credentials. Paseo never stores or transmits provider API keys. Agents run in your user context with your existing credentials.
 
-## Forge host trust
-
-Paseo only talks to a forge host that is either a known cloud host or one the forge CLI is already authenticated to. It never probes or routes credentials to an unauthenticated, remote-derived host.

-Each live agent in `AgentManager` carries a `lastStatus` of `initializing`, `idle`, `running`, or `error`. `closed` is the persisted, resumable state for an agent record that has no live provider runtime. State transitions persist to disk and stream to subscribed clients via WebSocket.
-
-## Runtime residency
-
-An unarchived agent may be `closed` without being deleted or archived. Closing releases its provider
-processes and subscriptions while retaining its Paseo identity, persistence handle, timeline,
-workspace, labels, title, usage, attention, timestamps, and parent relationship. Opening or prompting
-the agent runs through `ensureAgentLoaded()`, which resumes the durable provider session under the
-same Paseo agent ID. Provider history is not appended again when the canonical timeline is already
-primed.
-
-Reload releases the old runtime before resuming its durable session: an idle provider process can
-still own an exclusive writer. A close failure retains that runtime for cleanup and blocks the
-replacement. Once closure succeeds, a failed resume leaves the durable agent closed and retryable.
-
-Idle agents remain resident indefinitely. Runtime closure happens only through an explicit lifecycle
-action such as archive, replacement, reload, workspace teardown, or daemon shutdown.
-
-A provider runtime can still die on its own — crash, OOM kill, host suspend. Work the agent parked
-inside that process dies with it: Claude Code's background Bash shells, `Monitor` watches, and
-workflows all live in the CLI process, and the completion notification that would have woken the
-agent never arrives. A runtime that dies mid-turn is reported by whatever is draining its stream, but
-between turns nothing is watching, so the agent sits at `idle` looking healthy while its background
-work is gone. Report that exit as a turn failure so the agent lands in `error` with a timeline entry.
-Claude and OMP report exits between turns. OMP relaunches from its session file on the next prompt;
-the unfinished turn is lost.
-
-### Cancellation
-
-Provider interruption is idempotent at the `AgentSession` boundary. It resolves when the prior
-foreground turn can no longer run, including when the provider reports that it is already idle. It
-rejects only when the provider may still own the turn. Provider adapters translate native errors
-into that contract; lifecycle callers do not interpret provider-specific errors.
-
-After an acknowledged interrupt, the manager settles the captured run even when no terminal event
-arrives or the run was still waiting for its provider turn id. The captured run token prevents an
-older cancellation from settling a newer turn. If interruption is rejected or times out, the agent
-keeps its active foreground turn and replacement, reload, rewind, and Stop report the failure.
-Accepting new work after an ambiguous interruption would create a split-brain session.
+Each agent in `AgentManager` carries a `lastStatus` of `initializing`, `idle`, `running`, `error`, or `closed`. State transitions persist to disk and stream to subscribed clients via WebSocket.
 
 ## Relationships
 
-Agents can launch other agents via the agent-scoped `create_agent` MCP tool. Agent-scoped creation is always asynchronous and always stamps `paseo.parent-agent-id`, pointing back at the caller. Omit `workspaceId` to use the caller's workspace, or pass an existing workspace ID returned by `create_workspace`. Placement never changes parentage.
+Agents can launch other agents via the `create_agent` MCP tool. When they do, the daemon stamps the new agent with a label `paseo.parent-agent-id` pointing back at the caller (`packages/server/src/server/agent/mcp-server.ts:804`). The client surfaces that as `agent.parentAgentId`.
 
-- **Subagents** — exist as part of the creating agent's work, appear in that agent's subagent track, and are archived with it.
-- **Detached agents** — stand on their own after an explicit detach transition, do not appear in the former parent's subagent track, and are not archived with it.
+There is exactly one relationship type today: `parentAgentId`. The daemon does not distinguish between:
 
-Parent archive detaches a subagent instead of archiving it when either condition holds:
+- **Subagents** — children that exist as part of the parent's work (e.g. orchestration tasks the parent delegates and waits on)
+- **Detached agents** — children launched to take over from the parent (e.g. handoffs, fire-and-forget delegations)
 
-- The child belongs to another workspace.
-- The child is currently open in an agent tab.
-
-All other children archive with the parent. After the workspace layout hydrates, the client marks
-every managed subagent present in its tabs with `paseo.open-agent-tab.<client-id>=true` through the
-generic agent metadata update. This includes background and restored tabs; navigation does not own
-the marker. Closing a tab sets that client's label to `false`. Any `true` client label keeps the child
-open. Detach clears the parent and every open-tab label. The surviving child therefore becomes a
-normal root agent immediately, and closing its still-open tab archives it.
-
-Runtime ownership is resolved from explicit workspace ID and caller context, never from `cwd`. Workspace creation is a separate operation with `local | worktree` isolation; agent creation only selects an existing workspace.
-
-Users can also detach an existing subagent from the subagents track. Detach is deliberately a manual lifecycle gesture, not an agent-facing MCP tool. It removes the parent and open-tab lifecycle labels: 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.
-
-`notifyOnFinish` defaults to `true` for agent-scoped creation and background prompt follow-ups because most delegated work needs to report back to the creating agent. Set it to `false` only for truly fire-and-forget agents or prompts.
-Permission requests are notification checkpoints, not the end of that subscription. The caller is notified again after a permission response when the child finishes, errors, or requests another permission.
-The permission notification includes the normalized request plus the child and request IDs, so the caller can inspect it and respond without fetching agent status.
-A watched child that closes before its finish event also notifies the caller so delegated work cannot disappear silently during archive or workspace teardown.
-
-## Provider-managed child agents
-
-Some providers can create their own child sessions inside one provider runtime. OMP's task tool reports these with `child_session` events; `AgentManager` imports the live provider handle, stamps `paseo.parent-agent-id`, and surfaces the result as a normal subagent in the parent's subagents track.
-
-The provider still owns the underlying runtime. Paseo keeps an agent record so the child can be opened, tracked, archived, and cascaded with the parent, but prompts and history hydration route through the provider adapter for that native child handle.
+Both look the same in storage. This is an accepted limitation — see [Limitations](#limitations).
 
 ## Archive
 
 Archive is a **soft delete**: the agent record stays on disk with `archivedAt` set, the runtime is closed, and the agent disappears from active lists. Archive is **global** — it lives on the server and propagates to every connected client.
 
-Archive sets `archivedAt`, invokes the provider's native archive hook, and cascades to managed
-children.
-
-`create_agent_request` can opt an agent into `autoArchive`. In that mode the daemon archives the agent after the first terminal turn event (`turn_completed`, `turn_failed`, or `turn_canceled`).

 ## Tabs vs archive

@@ -148,68 +50,19 @@ These are two distinct concepts that used to be conflated:
 
 Closing a tab on a **root agent** still archives — the tab is the agent's home, so closing it means "I'm done with this agent." A confirm dialog protects against archiving a running agent by accident.
 
-Closing a tab on a **subagent** (any agent with `parentAgentId`) is **layout-only**. The app clears the current client's open-tab label before removing the tab. Another client's open tab remains protected. The agent stays unarchived and stays in its parent's track, so a later parent archive cascades to it when no client still has it open. The user can re-open the tab from the track at any time. Single and bulk tab close apply the same policy.
+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 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`**. 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.
-
-Running provider-native subagents contribute `running` to the workspace owned by their parent agent. Their completed, failed, and canceled states stay in the parent's subagents track.
-
-A finished workspace can be marked unread after it has been reviewed. The daemon restores
-`finished` attention on its newest eligible workspace-root agent without sending a new completion
-notification. Opening the workspace clears that attention through the normal focus flow.
-
-Attention is set by the agent finishing or failing and cleared by the client's
-`workspace.clear_attention`, which fires when the user reads the chat. Loading an agent's runtime is
-neither, so resuming carries the stored attention and the stored last-activity time through
-untouched. Forging either makes a background resume look like the user read a workspace and like the
-agent worked in it just now, which rewrites the sidebar timestamp permanently — persisted
-`updatedAt` is what workspace `statusEnteredAt` is re-derived from on the next daemon start.
+The asymmetry is intentional: a subagent's home is the parent's track, not the tab. Tabs are ephemeral viewing slots; the track is the persistent record of the parent's children.
 
 ## The subagents track
 
-The track is a pill at the foot of an agent's pane (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`): a count you can read at a glance, and a panel behind it — a popover on wide screens, a sheet on compact ones — holding the rows. It floats over the transcript rather than sitting in a band above the composer, so the timeline scrolls underneath it; `packages/app/src/panels/agent-tracks.tsx` owns that placement, and the pill frame is shared with the task list in `packages/app/src/composer/tracks.tsx`.
-
-The rows combine two kinds of children:
-
-- **Paseo subagents** are full managed agents. Their membership rule (`packages/app/src/subagents/select.ts`) is:
+The collapsible track above the composer in an agent's pane (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`). Membership rule (`packages/app/src/subagents/select.ts`):
 
 ```
 parentAgentId === thisAgent.id  AND  !archivedAt
 ```
 
-- **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. A descriptor's optional `parentSubagentId` identifies its direct provider-subagent parent; an absent value identifies a direct child of the managed agent.
-
-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. It shows its own direct children in a subagents track. 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.
-
-Provider descriptors may include one compact subtitle. The provider owns its contents and formatting; clients display and truncate it without interpreting provider-specific model, thinking, or usage fields.
-
-### Claude provider subagents: the task protocol
-
-Claude Code announces subagent lifecycle on the SDK stream (`task_started` / `task_updated` / `task_notification` / `task_progress`), and Paseo reads those announcements rather than reconstructing them from sidechain frames. The live source (`subagents/live-source.ts`) and the replay source (`subagents/replay-source.ts`) both translate into one observation vocabulary (`subagents/observation.ts`), so a fact is derived once for both paths instead of once per path. Gotchas that are not obvious from the SDK types:
-
-- **Not every announced task belongs in the track.** Task subagents announce as `local_agent` and workflows as `local_workflow`; a backgrounded shell announces as `local_bash` with the same `tool_use_id` shape, and ambient housekeeping sets `skip_transcript`. The Claude provider normalizes a workflow to a generic provider-subagent descriptor titled `Workflow`, using Claude's summary as its description and timeline opener. Shared storage, protocol, and UI do not distinguish it from another provider subagent.
-- **A task that was never declared gets no descriptor, by any route.** Filtered tasks still emit `task_notification`s carrying a `tool_use_id`, and still emit frames carrying `parent_tool_use_id`. Attributing either produces a descriptor with no identity and a defaulted `running` status — a nameless row that never finishes. Status, presentation updates, and sidechain frames all route through the declaration table.
-- **Task ids are session-scoped, not turn-scoped.** Cancelling a turn must not clear the routing table: a backgrounded child settles after the interrupt and needs its descriptor to still exist. Cancellation instead terminalizes the declared children that were running in the foreground, and a later `task_notification` is free to correct that guess. Backgrounded children are identified by `task_updated.patch.is_backgrounded`.
-- **A resumed task can be announced again with a new `tool_use_id`.** The first Task tool id remains the canonical descriptor and later ids are routing aliases for the same session-scoped task. The resumed prompt is added to that child timeline.
-- **Effort is only reachable through hooks.** It appears nowhere on the message stream at any depth, and the level Paseo requests is not necessarily the level that runs — a model that does not support it is silently downgraded. A hook firing inside a subagent reports the active post-downgrade level next to its `agent_id`, which is the same id `task_started` calls `task_id`.
-- **Backgrounded subagents emit no frames carrying `parent_tool_use_id` at all.** Everything keyed off that field sees nothing for one; they are visible only because the task protocol announces them.
-- **Nested ownership comes from the launching sidechain, not `spawn_depth` alone.** A sidechain's Agent or Bash tool call records the direct owner of that `tool_use_id`; the following `task_started` inherits it. This routes a grandchild descriptor and child-owned background notifications without relying on labels or flattening them into the managed parent.
-- **On replay, `<session>/subagents/` holds every descendant beside the root.** Resolve the tree one proven generation at a time: the root transcript admits direct children, then each admitted sidechain transcript admits its children by `toolUseId`. `spawnDepth` orders candidates but does not establish ownership. Unresolved sidecars remain excluded as ambient or unrelated work.
-- **Replay `totalTokens` is a context-size reading, not cumulative spend.** Claude Code finalizes a subagent by summing the _last_ assistant message's usage block and shipping that as `usage.total_tokens`. Summing per-entry usage instead multiplies the cached prefix by the turn count and reports a number several times larger than the live path.
-
-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 **Archive finished** row at the foot of the panel covers every finished row. It archives idle or errored managed Paseo subagents one at a time, and hides completed, failed, or canceled provider-owned rows in the current app session. Native sessions and timelines are untouched. Running and initializing children remain in the track. 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 relationship lifecycle labels, emits the normal agent update, and every client reclassifies the agent from subagent to root/sibling from that updated snapshot.
+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.

 - **Cascade archive on parent** — keeps subagents from leaking when the parent is archived
 
 We considered universal decoupling (no tab close ever archives, archive is always explicit) but rejected it: it changes a behavior root-agent users rely on.
 
 ## Limitations
 
+### Detached agents are cascade-archived
+
+The daemon can't tell a "subagent" apart from a "detached agent" — both carry `paseo.parent-agent-id`. So when you archive an agent that previously launched a detached child (e.g. via `/paseo-handoff`), cascade will archive the detached child too, even though semantically it should outlive the originator.
+
+Until a richer relation model lands (e.g. a `relation: "subagent" | "detached"` field on creation, or a separate channel for handoff launches), this trade-off stands. Workaround: don't archive an agent whose work was handed off, or unarchive the detached child afterward.
+
 ### Subagent accumulation under long-lived parents
 
-A parent that spawns many subagents will see the panel's list grow; the pill only counts them. Managed Paseo subagents can be archived individually or with **Archive finished**. That action hides finished provider-owned rows locally; this presentation state resets when the app restarts.

-# Agent stream performance
-
-How assistant text gets from a provider to the screen, and why it is paced on the way. Read this before changing `packages/server/src/server/agent/agent-stream-coalescer.ts`, the reducer queue in `packages/app/src/timeline/session-stream-reducers.ts`, or the reveal in `packages/app/src/hooks/use-revealed-text.ts`.
-
-For terminal output, which is a separate pipeline with separate budgets, see [terminal-performance.md](terminal-performance.md).
-
-## The pipeline
-
-```
-provider deltas (every provider streams incrementally)
-  → AgentStreamCoalescer (daemon, leading + trailing, ≤1 message per 60ms per agent)
-  → recordTimeline: one canonical row per flushed item
-  → agent_stream ws message
-  → reducer queue (app, one commit per frame) → session store
-  → source-item plugin transforms → native Markdown blocks / tool grouping
-  → paced reveal (app, per displayed item) → paint
-```
-
-Every provider delivers incremental text, so there is no provider that needs special handling: Claude via `includePartialMessages`, Codex via `agent_message_delta`, ACP agents via `agent_message_chunk`, Pi and OMP via `text_delta`.
-
-## Why the reveal is paced
-
-Arrival is lumpy and there is no fixing that at the source. A 60ms coalescing window carries however many characters the model produced in those 60ms, which swings by an order of magnitude within a single turn. Painting each delta as it lands makes the size of those lumps visible, and that is what reads as jagged.
-
-So arrival sets a _target_ and the reveal rate is derived from the backlog instead. A burst makes the text catch up faster; it does not make the text jump. Shrinking the coalescing window does not fix this — it makes the lumps smaller and more frequent, at the cost of message rate on a daemon loop that already contends with terminal frames and per-message relay encryption.
-
-## Invariants
-
-- **The coalescer is leading + trailing.** The first delta after an idle window flushes synchronously; only the rest of the burst waits for the trailing timer. Reverting to trailing-only adds a full window to the first character of every turn. Same shape and the same reason as `TerminalOutputCoalescer`.
-- **The leading flush adds a canonical row, and that is fine.** A burst's first chunk lands as its own timeline row. `mergeAssistantChunks` / `mergeReasoningChunks` in `timeline-projection.ts` join contiguous same-turn rows, and clients read the projected timeline, so history is unaffected. Tests that assert on raw rows have to account for the extra row; tests that assert on what a client sees do not.
-- **The store holds the full text; only the rendered slice is paced.** Copy, selection, the chat outline, and scroll geometry all read the same string the user can see. Pacing the store instead would leave the bottom anchor chasing a content height that is ahead of the reveal.
-- **Markdown blocks belong to presentation, and every assistant message is a block group.**
-  `agent-stream/presentation.ts` splits a message into one display row per Markdown block, the same
-  way whether it arrived streaming or as fetched history. Splitting in the reducer instead would
-  discard paragraph separators and expose fragments to plugin callbacks, which need the whole source
-  text. Live-head work stays cheap by parsing only the growing last block during append, retaining
-  completed blocks by object identity, and caching the split per source item so a tail change does
-  not re-split history. History was once left whole to keep cross-block Markdown context; that gave
-  one message two shapes depending on how it arrived, and message-addressed features only worked on
-  one of them.
-- **A row id is never a message id.** Block rows are `${messageId}:block:${n}` with
-  `blockGroupId = messageId`, including single-block messages, so nothing can come to rely on the two
-  being equal. `getStreamItemMessageId` in `presentation.ts` is the only way to go from a row to its
-  message, and web rows carry it as `data-message-id` alongside `data-history-row-id`. Anything
-  addressing a message — chat find, scroll-to-message, history reveal, the find expansion that lifts
-  the render cap — uses the message id and must expect several rows to answer to it. Row ids stay for
-  React keys, virtualizer measurement, scroll anchors, and per-row caches like assistant image
-  occurrence keys.
-- **First sight of a text is revealed whole.** Only growth is paced. This is what makes history hydration, timeline replay, a virtualized row remounting on scroll, and an already-finished message all render complete on first paint without a special case for each.
-- **Leaving `phase: "streaming"` snaps the reveal.** A completed turn must never be left holding characters. `layoutStream` sets the phase, so anything outside the live head with an active turn is already complete.
-- **The reducer queue commits on a frame, with a timer as the ceiling.** A frame callback never fires in a hidden tab, so a timer races it and wins when nothing is painting — the store has to keep advancing either way.
-- **A history row re-renders only when its item or layout item identity changes.** The inverted
-  FlatList hands every mounted cell a new `index` and `ref` whenever a row is prepended, so without a
-  memo boundary each coalesced tick re-rendered every mounted row (about 50 on a phone, 100–250 ms of
-  JS per tick). `layoutStream` keeps a layout item's identity when nothing about it changed,
-  `useRevisedHistoryRows` hands a fresh item identity to rows whose tool-call group, expanded state,
-  or breakpoint changed, and `HistoryStreamRow` memoizes on both. Every viewport runs its history
-  through that hook; the web viewport once skipped it and history hosts of a live tool group went
-  stale. A new field on `StreamLayoutItem` must be added to `areLayoutItemsEquivalent`, or sharing
-  silently stops.
-
-## Measuring
-
-- **Smoothness (user-perceived):** `packages/app/e2e/browser/agent-stream-smoothness.spec.ts`, gated behind `PASEO_AGENT_STREAM_PERF_E2E=1`. Drives the mock provider's `bursty-stream` model and reports coefficient of variation of characters painted per frame (smoothness) plus p95 gap between visible updates (stalls). Both numbers are needed: a stalled stream is perfectly smooth.
-- **Reproducing bursty arrival:** the `bursty-stream` model in `mock-load-test-agent.ts` emits uneven runs of tokens separated by idle gaps. Burst sizes come from a seeded generator, so a run repeats exactly.
-- **Rate policy in isolation:** `computeRevealStep` in `packages/app/src/agent-stream/text-reveal.ts` is pure; `text-reveal.test.ts` covers convergence and burst flattening without a renderer.
-
-Healthy numbers (2026-08, Expo web against a local dev daemon, real Claude Haiku agent, ~8.5s samples during active streaming). Setting `TEXT_REVEAL_HORIZON_MS` to 0 makes the reveal paint on arrival, which is how the baseline column was taken:
-
-|                                  | paint on arrival | paced |
-| -------------------------------- | ---------------- | ----- |
-| frames that advanced the text    | 6%               | 87%   |
-| chars-per-frame CV               | 4.11             | 1.86  |
-| gap between visible updates, p50 | 317ms            | 17ms  |
-| gap between visible updates, p95 | 383ms            | 17ms  |
-
-Total characters painted is roughly the same either way — the reveal changes when they land, not how many arrive.
-
-Measure the **total** length across every `assistant-message` element, not the last one. A turn emits many assistant messages, so the tail element keeps changing identity and its length is not monotonic; sampling only the tail reads those handovers as resets and reports almost no growth. `sampleStreamFrames` does this correctly.

-## 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`.
-
-## Inverted timeline selection
-
-Android focus and selection visibility requests must not reposition inverted timelines. The
-`modules/paseo-scroll` package keeps React Native's scroll manager interface and returns zero for
-child-reveal scroll calculations when the vertical scale is inverted. Dragging and explicit scroll
-commands still work; non-inverted scroll views keep Android's default behavior.
-
-Register this package before React Native's core package through its Expo config plugin. Normal
-Android builds use the prebuilt `react-android` library, so patching Java under `node_modules` does
-not change the shipped scroll view. Keep this behavior in the app's compiled native module.
-
-## 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 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.
-
-For a single-ABI APK, pass React Native's architecture property to Gradle:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1 ./gradlew assembleRelease \
-  -PreactNativeArchitectures=arm64-v8a \
-  --no-daemon --max-workers=1 -Dorg.gradle.parallel=false
-```
-
-Supported values are `armeabi-v7a`, `arm64-v8a`, `x86`, and `x86_64`. The F-Droid profile filters native libraries to that ABI and changes the APK version code to `baseVersionCode * 10 + abiSuffix`, where the suffixes are ordered `1` through `4` in that same sequence. F-Droid metadata should use four build blocks with `VercodeOperation` entries `10 * %c + 1` through `10 * %c + 4` and pass the matching `reactNativeArchitectures` value in each build command. Builds without a single architecture keep the base version code.
-
-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.
-
-The EAS `production-apk` profile uses the large Android resource class. Release builds compile the native ABIs and run Hermes bundling in the same Gradle invocation; the default worker can exhaust its remaining memory and kill Hermes with exit code 137 even when Gradle's own heap is correctly sized.
-
-### F-Droid store metadata
-
-F-Droid reads the store listing from `fastlane/metadata/android/<locale>/` **at the repo root**. This location provides the best compatibility with the F-Droid release process.
-
-```text
-fastlane/metadata/android/
-├── en-US/                      (F-Droid fallback locale, mandatory)

-
-Locale directories generally match `packages/app/src/i18n/locales.ts`, but note that `en` becomes `en-US`.
-
-F-Droid changelogs are generated from `CHANGELOG.md`. Run `npm run fdroid:changelogs`; `npm run fdroid:changelogs:check` verifies without writing. It is wired into the npm `version` lifecycle, so a release picks it up automatically and `git add -A` stages the result.
-
-One changelog must be generated per-ABI-split, so each version will create **four** identical version-coded entries. F-Droid caps changelogs at 500 characters, so the generator strips some content and adds a link to the full notes.
-
-Stable sync fails loudly if `CHANGELOG.md` has no entry for the version being cut. That is intentional — the release checklist requires the entry to be committed first, so an abort here means the checklist was skipped.
-
-Because the generator runs off the version in `package.json`, it must run **before** the tag is created: fdroidserver only reads metadata from the tag it builds, so the file for version N has to exist in the commit N points at.
-
-Beta releases are an explicit no-op: they do not create or rewrite F-Droid changelog files. Stable releases and promotions generate the four ABI entries from their final changelog.
-
 ### 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.

 Cross-platform React Native app that connects to one or more daemons.
 
-- Expo Router navigation (`/h/[serverId]/workspace/[workspaceId]`, `/h/[serverId]/agent/[agentId]`, etc.). The `workspaceId` URL segment is an opaque workspace id, not a directly meaningful filesystem path.
-- `HostRuntimeController` manages saved host connections, reconnection, and per-host runtime state. Direct TCP and relay connections use the ordinary client transport; desktop socket, pipe, and SSH connections cross one Electron-owned transport boundary. SSH only tunnels to an already-running daemon.
-- `runtime/replica-cache` is typed storage behind the directory and timeline owners. It never observes or mutates `SessionStore`.
-- `runtime/directory-sync` owns directory cache selection and network reconciliation. On demand it paints accepted rows for one host, then passes the persisted per-entity cursor through `project.list`, `fetch_workspaces`, and `fetch_agents`; the daemon returns each entity's latest projection when its sequence is newer, plus tombstones.
-- `workspace-labels` owns one sequenced catalog replica per connected host, the deterministic cross-host projection that surfaces spanning hosts use (the filter page, the manager), and the per-host resolution a workspace row's chips use. Two hosts may give one name different colors, so a row resolves against its own host's catalog and a merged answer would be wrong there. Catalogs never synchronize between hosts; assignment creates a missing definition only on the target host. On the daemon, catalog and assignment rewrites share a journaled commit boundary. Startup recovery completes that commit before workspace or catalog publication.

 - Timeline sync correctness is documented in [docs/timeline-sync.md](timeline-sync.md): live streams are for immediacy, `fetch_agent_timeline_request` is authoritative, and catch-up is paged but complete.
 - Voice features: dictation (STT) and voice agent (realtime)
 
-Consumers request directory or timeline data without choosing memory, cache, or network. The owner
-publishes an accepted cache hit and then reconciles it over the existing network path. A miss or an
-invalid row uses that same path. Offline demand still publishes an accepted cache hit and defers
-network reconciliation. Cache loading is demand-driven: opening a chat reads its agent row and
-focused timeline row, plus the workspace and project rows needed by the route; opening a directory
-reads directory rows for that host and establishes its live subscription when connected. Accepted
-cached rows satisfy the same consumer-readiness projection as network rows. Host registry startup and
-host connection do not create directory demand or install replicas. The directory owner retains
-declared surface demand and re-establishes network reconciliation after reconnect; React does not
-track connection generations. Late cache reads cannot replace state already advanced by live or
-authoritative network data. Owners explicitly persist accepted commits; directory rows and their
-checkpoint share one storage transaction. See
-[data-model.md](data-model.md#replica-row-store)
-for the storage shape and [timeline-sync.md](timeline-sync.md#client-replica-lifetime) for timeline
-resume behavior.
-
-The three directory entity types have independent monotonic sequences and share one daemon
-generation. The daemon retains only the latest projection per entity and bounded tombstones, not an
-event log. A missing, expired, or previous-generation cursor receives a full snapshot. Projects are
-independent records; a project with no workspaces does not need a workspace placeholder.
-
-Workspace label definitions use a separate, explicitly subscribed sequence. The list request both
-fetches and grants live updates for that session. A current cursor receives an empty correlated
-catch-up response when nothing changed; idle sessions and unsubscribed sessions receive no label
-traffic. Workspace assignments stay on the workspace directory sequence.

-**Multi-window (hybrid land-on model).** `createWindow()` in `main.ts` is reusable: `⌘⇧N`/File→New Window, relaunching the app (`second-instance`), and the sidebar "Open in new window" action each open a fresh `BrowserWindow`. Every window shows the full sidebar — there is no per-window project ownership or filtering. "Land on a project" is delivered by a per-`webContents` `PendingOpenProjectStore`: each window pulls its own pending project path on mount (`paseo:get-pending-open-project`) and runs the normal open-project flow, identical to a CLI `paseo <path>` launch.
-
-> **Window-state v1 limitation:** only the _first_ window of a session restores and persists saved geometry (size/position/maximized). Windows opened via ⌘⇧N / second-instance / "Open in new window" open at the default size, OS-cascaded, and do not persist — this avoids every window stacking on the same restored bounds and fighting over the single window-state store. Lifting this needs per-window state keys.
->
-> **In-app browser profile.** Every browser guest uses one stable persistent Electron session, so cookies, authentication, cache, and site storage are shared across tabs, workspaces, and desktop windows and survive tab or app closure. Browser identity is independent of that storage partition: after every `did-attach`, the renderer explicitly registers its browser id, workspace id, and current guest `WebContents` id, and main accepts the registration only when that guest belongs to the calling renderer and the shared profile. Registration is intentionally repeated because reparenting a retained `<webview>` can replace its guest without replacing the DOM element. Settings > General > Clear browser data is the sole profile-deletion path; it clears the shared session and reloads live guests without deleting saved tabs or URLs.
->
-> **In-app browser window opens.** Ordinary link opens, including Shift-clicked links, become Paseo workspace tabs. Script-created opens with popup features or a named window target and POST-backed opens remain secured Electron child windows in the shared browser profile, preserving `window.opener`, `postMessage`, named-window reuse, request bodies, and `window.close()` for OAuth, payment, and similar popup protocols. Unsupported URL schemes are denied before either path.
->
-> **In-app browser ownership.** Each registered guest records its owning host window. The active browser is keyed by `(host window, workspace)`, and application-menu Reload / Force Reload resolve only within the window Electron supplies to the menu callback. A non-null active update must name a browser owned by that host; a null update clears only that host/workspace. Browser automation continues to target explicit browser ids returned by `browser_new_tab` or `browser_list_tabs`.
->
-> **Browser keyboard boundary.** Guest pages receive renderer-published shortcuts first. `Cmd/Ctrl+L` and `Cmd/Ctrl+R` are explicit guest-shell reservations; ordinary Paseo shortcuts run only after the page declines them. The sandboxed guest preload runs in every frame so focused iframes use the same boundary, while Node integration remains disabled. Human guest input disables Electron's menu fallback for plain keys. Agent-generated keys use guest `sendInputEvent` with `skipIfUnhandled`, so an unhandled Enter stops at the guest instead of reaching the host composer. Main selects the preload; it exposes no APIs to guest pages.

-Client liveness checks use the top-level JSON `ping`/`pong` envelope, not a session RPC or RFC6455 control ping. Current clients ping every 10 seconds, beginning one interval after connecting. The first ping claims an application-ownership lease for that physical socket, all later inbound activity renews it, and the daemon forcibly terminates the socket if the lease expires. A legacy or raw socket that never sends an application ping never enters this lease and is not closed for omitting one. Session RPC timeouts are operation failures, not proof that the socket is dead. A subscription bootstrap timeout closes its source to clear any unknown server-owned registration; the failed handle is released before other surviving handles reconnect.
+Client liveness checks use the top-level JSON `ping`/`pong` envelope, not a session RPC and not RFC6455 protocol ping. The app runs through browser and React Native WebSocket APIs, which do not expose protocol ping, so this envelope is the portable way to test the direct or relay data path. Session RPC timeouts are operation failures and must not be treated as proof that the socket is dead.
 
-Every physical send path enforces an 8 MiB outbound high-water mark, including JSON broadcasts, binary terminal frames, and the encrypted relay adapter's asynchronous queue. This sits above the terminal stream's 4 MiB soft backpressure threshold, leaving room for snapshot catch-up before the hard cutoff. JSON is serialized once per broadcast after sockets already at the limit are removed, then its exact byte length is checked for every remaining socket. A frame that would cross the limit is not sent; that physical socket is forcibly terminated without disturbing other sockets attached to the same logical session. Multiple tabs and simultaneous direct and relay paths may legitimately share a client id.
-
-Client session RPC waits default to 60s so slow relay or mobile networks do not turn a live but delayed daemon response into a false operation failure. Keep connect timeouts, app-level grace windows, explicit diagnostic latency probes, liveness ping timers, and genuinely long-running RPCs separate from this default.

-New session RPCs use dotted names with `.request` and `.response` suffixes, such as `checkout.forge.set_auto_merge.request` and `checkout.forge.set_auto_merge.response`. See [rpc-namespacing.md](rpc-namespacing.md) for the convention and migration rules for older flat RPC names.

-
-Creation is owned by the daemon across socket lifetimes. A workspace request can include
-its initial agent and prompt. Workspace readiness is published before provider startup;
-the app keeps its existing disk-ready navigation and observes the remaining creation.
-Callbacks do not advance the workflow. Resource reservations in acknowledgement are
-identities, not ready workspace records.
-
-The creation journal (`server/creation/`) owns identity and execution for both legacy and
-modern creation RPCs. Requesting progress never selects a different journal. Existing
-agent receipts are imported at this boundary; message delivery receipts remain separate.
-It keeps cumulative milestones and permanent IDs under an operation kind and idempotency
-key. Reconnect subscribes to that key; retries
-join active work or reuse committed stages. A persisted resource alone cannot prove
-that a provider accepted its initial prompt. Interrupted side effects with no conclusive
-receipt return an unknown outcome instead of being repeated.
-
-`packages/client/src/creation/` owns capability selection and legacy orchestration.
-Callers always pass the initial prompt to agent creation. On an older host, the client
-adapts keyed creation to the legacy create/send sequence; it cannot continue that
-sequence after the client process disappears. Explicitly requested IDs or receipts
-that an old host cannot honor produce an unsupported error. Keep these adapters inside
-the client package, as an exception to the default no-fallback feature policy.
-
-Creation executes through the existing Session capabilities. Connection-owned delivery
-controls observation only: detaching a socket or cleaning up its Session does not cancel
-accepted creation. Updates require an explicit subscription and go only to that socket;
-reconnect uses the shared subscription owner. Legacy consumers, including Hub, keep their

-One deliberate non-violation: `AgentFileExplorerState.directories`/`files` cache directory listings inside the `workspaceId`-keyed explorer map. Same-`cwd` workspaces therefore keep duplicate caches, but they can never diverge — both fetch the identical directory via `listDirectory(workspaceRoot, …)`.

-The supervisor alone publishes its ready worker's endpoint in `paseo.pid`, clears it before respawn, and fails if any worker exits before first readiness. CLI home selection trusts only that live record; config expresses desired state, never an endpoint fallback. POSIX home stop signals the captured supervisor without TCP. Windows graceful stop and ordinary RPCs trust the published endpoint. This metadata is not cryptographic listener ownership: edited endpoints, copied identities, PID reuse, and address takeover races remain outside that guarantee. A stale heartbeat never permits reclaiming a live lock.
-
-Worker restart retains supervisor arguments/environment and rereads the configuration file. Updating a package and observing its new worker version do not refresh the running supervisor code; the launcher owns full-process replacement. See [CLI lifecycle contracts](../public-docs/cli.md#daemon-management).

-2. **Managed desktop**: Electron uses the server package’s local-instance lifecycle capability for sanitized launch, published readiness, and captured-PID stop.

Preexisting instances, including legacy `desktopManaged` records, are attach-only. Keep-running survivors attach in the next session. Explicit attached Stop requires a confirmation naming the captured home/PID. Ordinary Restart uses the worker RPC on every app platform.

 3. **Remote + relay**: Daemon behind firewall, relay bridges with E2E encryption

-# 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;
-- a never-presented resident webview guest defaults 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;
-- parked guests remain capturable with Chromium background throttling enabled;
-- the real-Electron host-composer sentinel proves guest Enter cannot submit a focused
-  host composer;
-- the automation group loads the compiled production keyboard boundary and guest
-  preload, then proves that initial page window handlers get first refusal, unhandled
-  shortcuts synchronously suppress editable browser defaults before crossing the host
-  boundary, shortcuts marked unavailable in editable targets retain the browser field's
-  native behavior, handlers registered after preload still get first refusal, focused
-  iframes share the same boundary, digit wildcard shortcuts cross, and background automation
-  stays in the guest.
-
-Run it with the repo Electron:
-
-```bash
-npm run capture-harness --workspace=@getpaseo/desktop
-```
-
-Build the desktop main process before the automation group so its production guest
-preload is available:
-
-```bash
-npm run build:main --workspace=@getpaseo/desktop
-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
-```
-
-On macOS, test native titlebar dragging after scrolling with:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_CAPTURE_HARNESS_GROUP=titlebar-drag npm run capture-harness --workspace=@getpaseo/desktop
-```
-
-This group needs Xcode Command Line Tools and Accessibility permission for the
-terminal running it. It sends real mouse input to its test window and checks
-window movement, including button clicks and a portal over the titlebar. Leave
-the mouse idle during this group. It reads the app's production CSS and writes
-screenshots and window bounds to the output directory.
-
-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.
-Keyboard containment runs last because the host-composer sentinel intentionally leaves
-native focus in the host. It reuses an existing fixture button: adding a test-only control
-changes the inline fixture geometry exercised by the earlier actionability checks.
-
-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 default-throttling 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.
-
-The existing `npm run test:e2e:browser-tabs --workspace=@getpaseo/desktop` journey
-verifies that a hidden window stops guest animation, captures fresh viewport pixels,
-and resumes animation after restoring the window. Its artifacts include the screenshot
-and animation measurements. Full-page content correctness remains separately tracked in
-[the full-page repetition bug](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/issues/3196).
-
-## 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. Each production webview keeps one permanent body-level surface. Presenting
-or parking changes that surface's geometry without reparenting the webview. The parking state
-uses `left:0`, `top:0`, `width:1px`, `height:1px`, `overflow:hidden`, `opacity:1`, and
-`pointer-events:none`. The webview stays at its resolved logical viewport, defaulting to
-1280x800 before first presentation, with `display:inline-flex` at `left:0`, `top:0`.
-Presentation resolves responsive guests to the pane's exact pixel dimensions after the surface
-has visible bounds. Do not apply percentage guest sizing against the parked surface: Electron
-exposes the 1x1 parking geometry as a real guest resize before expanding it again.
-
-The permanent browser host and `overlay-root` are explicit sibling paint planes. The browser
-plane stays below the overlay plane regardless of body insertion order; menus keep their relative
-layering inside `overlay-root`. Activating a presented browser also focuses its registered guest
-`WebContents` in main so macOS assigns keyboard first-responder ownership to the page.
-
-There is no renderer prep/restore handshake or lifetime background-throttling override.
-Screenshot capture temporarily enables frame production inside the shared serialized queue,
-restores the previous throttling policy on success or failure, and retains a 5-second capture budget.
-The browser tool takes one viewport frame through Electron's frame subscription and releases the
-subscription on completion or cancellation. A resized resident guest can produce fresh pixels
-while `capturePage()` leaves its surface-copy request pending; waiting for animation frames or
-retrying the copy does not repair that state. Full-page screenshots retain the CDP path with layout
-metrics and screenshot clip.

-Inactive retained panels use `display: none`, so DOM and layout APIs report zero width and height. A non-positive measurement means the surface is not rendered; it is never a valid compact layout.
-
-- Suspend geometry-derived updates while either measured dimension is non-positive. Preserve the last valid state until the surface reports positive geometry again.
-- Enforce the rule at the measurement boundary shared by every trigger. Guarding only an `onLayout` or `ResizeObserver` callback still lets effects, content changes, and imperative remeasurement publish hidden geometry.
-- Test the hide-and-reveal path through a real retained surface. Settled assertions do not catch stale geometry painted during the first returned frames.
-
 ## Naming
 
 - Names describe meaning, not mechanics. `submitForm` over `handleOnClickButtonSubmit`. `running` over `filteredArrayOfRunningAgents`.

OMP waits 20 seconds for its initial `ready` frame and 60 seconds for later control-plane RPCs by default. `options.rpcTimeoutMs` overrides both deadlines.

 # Data Model
 
-## Project identity
-
-Projects are allocated for the exact root selected by the caller, normalized lexically with `path.resolve` (never `realpath`). New project IDs are opaque `prj_<16 hex>` values. Existing remote-shaped or path-shaped IDs are retained as readable compatibility records and are never rekeyed. An active exact root is idempotent; archived-only matches do not resurrect an old project. Workspace `projectId` is stable membership: reconciliation may update git-derived kind and branch metadata, but never rehomes a workspace or changes a project's root, ID, or default name.
-
-`projectKey` is a persisted, opaque equivalence key used only to group the same logical project
-across hosts. It is separate from the host-local `projectId`; today's producer prefers a normalized
-Git remote and otherwise uses the local project root. Consumers never derive it from live Git.
-Creation persists it with the project, and normal boot reconciliation fills it for
-older records where the field is absent—there is no migration.
-
-`kind` and `projectKey` are mutable metadata, not identity. Workspace reconciliation watches active project roots and
-updates those fields and `updatedAt` when Git facts change, preserving the project's ID, root path,
-names, and workspace foreign keys. Attached workspaces are independently refreshed
-from their own cwd, so an explicit project root never implies a workspace checkout. Empty projects
-are observed too.
-
-The workspace registry model defines placement once: initial directory/worktree construction,
-mutable reconciliation fields, and the persisted-to-wire checkout projection. Its update policy
-preserves `displayName` and `baseBranch`. `WorkspaceProvisioningService` owns the corresponding
-registry writes, so directory opens, agent imports, and worktree creation all enter through that
-service instead of constructing records independently. The workspace record is then the durable
-placement authority: `cwd` is the exact execution directory, while `worktreeRoot` is the backing
-checkout root. They intentionally differ for an exact subproject inside a worktree. Archive,
-restore, branch auto-name, and descriptor flows consume those persisted facts rather than
-rediscovering ownership from a directory that may already be gone. Reconciliation may refresh
-mutable placement facts, but never changes `projectId`, `cwd`, `displayName`, or `baseBranch`.
-Workspace archive runs lifecycle teardown from the exact `cwd` but removes only the backing
-`worktreeRoot` after its last active reference disappears. Worktree recovery recreates that backing
-checkout from `mainRepoRoot`, then restores the relative path from `worktreeRoot` to `cwd`.
-
 Paseo uses **file-based JSON persistence** instead of a traditional database. All data is validated at runtime with Zod schemas. Most stores write atomically (write to temp file, then rename); a few still use plain `writeFile` — see each section. There is no schema-versioning/migration framework — schemas rely on optional fields with defaults for forward compatibility, with a small amount of inline normalization in `persisted-config.ts` for legacy provider/speech entries.
 
 All server-side stores live under `$PASEO_HOME` (defaults to `~/.paseo`).
 
-## Store Surface Rules
-
-Store APIs own persistence atomicity and should not make services coordinate raw reads and writes. A good store method maps cleanly to one SQL statement or one SQL transaction, even when the current implementation is JSON files. If a caller needs a queue, lock, read-merge-write loop, or uniqueness race workaround, that behavior belongs behind the store surface.

Persistent server stores write atomically by writing a temp file in the target directory and then renaming it into place.
+The `agents/{sanitized-cwd}/` directory name is derived from the agent's `cwd` by stripping the filesystem root and replacing path separators with `-` (Windows drive letters become a `C-` style prefix). Atomic writes (temp file + rename): agent records, chat, project/workspace registries, push tokens. Non-atomic (plain `writeFile`): `config.json`, `schedules/*.json`, `loops/loops.json`, `server-id`, `daemon-keypair.json`.

-## Runtime-only Terminal Sessions
-
-Terminals are live daemon state, not persisted JSON records. A terminal carries a `workspaceId` while it is running; workspace-scoped terminal lists include only terminals with the matching `workspaceId`. Legacy live terminals without an owner remain visible to unscoped terminal reads but contribute to no workspace status.
-
-Terminal activity contributes to the workspace status bucket **per `workspaceId`**: a working terminal drives `running` onto the workspace it carries only. Same-`cwd` siblings are untouched; terminal visibility is likewise `workspaceId`-scoped.

 ## 2. Daemon Configuration
 
 **Path:** `$PASEO_HOME/config.json`
 
 Single file, validated with `PersistedConfigSchema`.
 
-`agents.skills.selection` is the daemon host's orchestration-skill preference. Missing means
-`{ mode: "all" }`. Installed state is not persisted; the daemon derives it from the shared
-`~/.agents/skills` and Claude skill directories and keeps config plus filesystem convergence behind
-one serialized owner. Codex discovers the shared directory. Updates retire unchanged files from
-Paseo-managed copies in `~/.codex/skills`, preserving user edits and untracked files.
-
-`paseo reload` reads and validates this file once inside the daemon. That snapshot drives resolution,
-classification, application, and reload bookkeeping. `DaemonConfigStore` owns applying runtime-safe
-fields and their removal/default semantics; session handlers and the CLI only relay the structured
-result. Normal config patches persist only the requested fields, so launch overrides and resolved
-defaults never leak into the file. Startup-only fields remain compared with the daemon's launch
-snapshot so a mixed edit can apply its live subset and still name the paths that require restart.

 All fields are optional with sensible defaults.
 
-Managed plugins appear as directory sources in `config.json`; it owns the active path and enabled
-state. `plugins/sources.json` is written atomically and stores only managed kind and the Git acquisition
-remote. Installed revision, package/subdirectory identity and ownership root come from retained
-artifacts and the fixed managed layout; [managed source ownership](plugins.md#managed-source-ownership)
-explains their authority. An update prepares a new directory before replacing the active path and
-removing the previous version. Old record fields are accepted at the store boundary and ignored;
-there is no startup migration or persistent update policy.
-
-### Profile lists
-
-`terminalProfiles` and `agentProfiles` are both whole-list fields: a config patch replaces the
-array, never merges entries, so a client sends the complete next list on every add, edit, reorder
-and remove. List order is the display order.
-
-Absent and empty mean different things for terminal profiles — omitting the key falls back to
-`DEFAULT_TERMINAL_PROFILES`, while `[]` means the user removed them all. Agent profiles have no
-defaults, so both mean none.
-
-`PersistedConfigSchema` parses strictly, so a daemon that predates a field drops it on write
-rather than storing something it cannot describe. That is why the client gates the agent profiles
-UI on `server_info.features.agentProfiles` instead of letting a save appear to succeed against an
-older daemon.

-### Agent provider Paseo tools
-
-`agents.providers` is keyed by the exact provider ID used to launch the agent. The built-in IDs are
-`claude`, `codex`, `copilot`, `opencode`, `pi`, and `omp`. Custom provider IDs are their literal
-configuration keys, such as `my-claude` or `zai`, not the provider named by `extends`.
-
-Each entry may include a Paseo-tool policy:
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "providers": {
-      "my-claude": {
-        "extends": "claude",
-        "label": "My Claude",
-        "paseoTools": {
-          "enabled": true,
-          "disabledTools": ["browser_evaluate"]
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Absent `paseoTools`, or absent fields within it, means Paseo tools are enabled and all tools are
-allowed. `enabled: false` disables the provider's Paseo catalog; `disabledTools` lists exact tool
-IDs to omit. The policy covers the core and browser catalog, not the voice-only `speak` tool.
-Browser tools also require `daemon.browserTools.enabled` and a connected browser host.
-This policy controls the catalog presented to an agent. It is not an authorization boundary for
-agents that can access the host through a shell.
-
-`daemon.mcp.injectIntoAgents` is the global override. When it is `false`, no provider receives
-Paseo tools; otherwise the provider policy applies. Provider and global policy are resolved when a
-session is created, resumed, imported, or reloaded, so configuration changes affect the next
-session rather than an already-running one.
-
-`agents.metadataGeneration.providers` controls the preferred structured-generation fallback order for daemon-side metadata tasks such as commit messages, PR text, branch names, and generated agent titles. Entries are tried first in the configured order, then Paseo falls through to dynamically discovered defaults and finally the current selection when available.

-Git process limits are global to one daemon. The start-rate limit defaults to `64` processes per
-second, and the concurrency limit defaults to `8`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "daemon": {
-    "git": {
-      "maxProcessesPerSecond": 64,
-      "maxProcessConcurrency": 8
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-`maxProcessesPerSecond` limits Git process starts in any one-second interval. The allowance can
-start as a burst; it does not wait for earlier processes to exit. `maxProcessConcurrency` limits
-the number of Git processes that have started but not exited. Every Git command uses both limits,
-including initial workspace reads, filesystem-triggered refreshes, background checks, and explicit
-requests.
-
-Environment variables override `config.json`:
-
-| Environment variable                 | Setting                  |
-| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------ |
-| `PASEO_GIT_MAX_PROCESSES_PER_SECOND` | `maxProcessesPerSecond`  |
-| `PASEO_GIT_MAX_PROCESS_CONCURRENCY`  | `maxProcessConcurrency`  |
-| `PASEO_GIT_CONCURRENCY`              | Legacy concurrency alias |
-
-`PASEO_GIT_MAX_PROCESS_CONCURRENCY` wins when it and the legacy alias are both set. Run `paseo reload`
-after changing `config.json`. Environment changes require a daemon restart; the launch environment
-remains authoritative during reload.
-
 `agents.metadataGeneration.providers` controls the preferred structured-generation fallback order for daemon-side metadata tasks such as commit messages, PR text, branch names, and generated agent titles. Entries are tried first in the configured order, then Paseo falls through to dynamically discovered defaults and finally the current selection when available.
 
 Local speech model ids are intentionally narrow: STT uses `parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2-int8`, TTS uses `kokoro-en-v0_19`, and turn detection uses the bundled Silero VAD model.
 
-Set these to select OpenAI instead of local speech:
-
-| Env var                        | Applies to                      |
-| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
-| `PASEO_VOICE_STT_PROVIDER`     | Voice mode STT provider         |
-| `PASEO_DICTATION_STT_PROVIDER` | Composer dictation STT provider |
-| `PASEO_VOICE_TTS_PROVIDER`     | Voice mode TTS provider         |
-
-OpenAI speech can be configured under `providers.openai`. STT and TTS resolve independently, so they can point at different endpoints:
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "openai": {
-      "stt": {
-        "apiKey": "sk-...",
-        "baseUrl": "https://stt.example.com/v1"
-      },
-      "tts": {
-        "apiKey": "sk-...",
-        "baseUrl": "https://api.openai.com/v1"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-`providers.openai.stt` is used for both composer dictation and voice mode speech-to-text; `providers.openai.tts` is used for voice mode text-to-speech. The equivalent env vars are `OPENAI_STT_API_KEY`/`OPENAI_STT_BASE_URL` and `OPENAI_TTS_API_KEY`/`OPENAI_TTS_BASE_URL`. Each feature falls back to `providers.openai.apiKey`/`providers.openai.baseUrl`, then `OPENAI_API_KEY`/`OPENAI_BASE_URL`, when its own fields are unset. These settings apply only to Paseo OpenAI speech features, not to Codex or other OpenAI-backed tools.
-
-Paseo uses these paths under the configured OpenAI base URL:
-
-- dictation STT: `/v1/audio/transcriptions`
-- voice mode STT: `/v1/audio/transcriptions`
-- voice mode TTS: `/v1/audio/speech`

-Uploading a file and pasting a website or image URL are two ways of _acquiring_ the same custom
-icon. The client fetches URL imports and sends their bytes through the upload RPC. The daemon never
-receives or fetches the URL; it validates the uploaded bytes, stores them, and records a new
-`customIconRevision`. Going back to automatic deletes the stored image, as does removing the
-project.
-
-Active exact roots are idempotent using lexical platform-equivalence semantics. Existing legacy
-remote-shaped and path-shaped IDs remain readable, including duplicate roots; reconciliation never
-merges them, transfers names, archives them, or moves workspace foreign keys. An explicit
-workspace `projectId` is authoritative when it names an active project, regardless of cwd
-containment. Archived-only exact-root records are not resurrected by explicit add/open; a fresh
-opaque project is allocated instead. Agent restore is separate and restores the agent's existing
-workspace together with its owning project.
+Active git projects are unique by normalized `rootPath`. Startup reconciliation repairs older bad
+states by moving workspaces from duplicate path-keyed projects onto the canonical project,
+preferring remote-keyed project IDs such as `remote:github.com/owner/repo`, then archiving the
+emptied duplicate.

-> **Opaque-ID invariant:** `workspaceId` is opaque identity, never a filesystem path. Filesystem and git operations take `cwd`/`workspaceDirectory` only — never the id. A compatibility-only first-materialization bootstrap still groups pre-registry agent records by path and Git remote so existing installs retain their legacy records. That grouping never runs against a live registry, and its keys are not runtime project or workspace identity.
-
-### Workspace label catalog
-
-**Path:** `$PASEO_HOME/projects/workspace-labels.json`
-
-The catalog is shared by every workspace on one host. A definition contains a display name and one
-of the ten identity colour names (`WORKSPACE_LABEL_COLORS` in
-`packages/protocol/src/workspace-labels.ts`); trimmed, collapsed, case-insensitive name identity is
-unique within that file. Definitions have no portable ID or principal owner and remain after their
-last assignment. Editing a label takes a new name, a new colour, or both in one commit, so the two
-fields cannot land half-applied. Workspaces store label names, so a rename and a delete rewrite
-workspace assignments through one serialized compound commit while a recolour is catalog-only; a
-rename onto a name the host already has is refused rather than merged. A prepared
-`workspace-labels.transaction.json` contains both before and after images. The daemon writes the
-catalog and workspace files, then atomically changes the transaction to committed; that phase
-change is the durable commit point. Recovery rolls prepared transactions back before either
-directory is served. A committed marker proves both data files were already written, so recovery
-only loads the current catalog and retries marker cleanup; it never reapplies stale workspace
-after-images over later registry mutations. A request rejected before the commit point therefore
-cannot take effect after restart. If the live daemon cannot determine or restore the durable state,
-the workspace registry freezes every write and later label mutations fail with
-`workspace_label_storage_uncertain` until daemon restart performs recovery. Reads remain available,
-but may reflect the last acknowledged cache until restart. Workspace directory and catalog updates
-publish only after the commit point; publication failure does not roll durable state back.
-
-`projectId` is still a real FK: workspace records should have a matching project record. Read-only
-history surfaces tolerate transient orphaned workspaces by omitting those rows so one bad FK cannot
-blank the whole History screen, but mutation paths should repair or remove the orphaned state rather
-than treating it as valid.

-### Keying convention: directory-backed vs workspace-owned
-
-Right-sidebar client state splits on whether it is determined by the directory or owned by the workspace (two workspaces can share one `cwd`). The split is enforced by the cache key, so changing a key changes the sharing semantics — see [architecture.md](architecture.md#right-sidebar-boundary-directory-backed-vs-workspace-owned) for the full table.
-
-- **Directory-backed** (shared by same-`cwd` workspaces): keyed by `(serverId, cwd)`. Git status/diff, GitHub PR status, PR timeline, file preview content. These are TanStack Query caches, not persisted stores.
-- **Workspace-owned** (independent per workspace): keyed by `workspaceId`, with `cwd` used only as a fallback when no `workspaceId` is present. Review draft comments (`@paseo:review-draft-store`), diff-mode overrides (in-memory), workspace composer attachments, and file-explorer nav/expand state. The `workspaceId` part of these keys is **opaque** — never parse it back into a path.
-
-### Replica row store
-
-The durable client replica uses IndexedDB on browser/Electron and expo-sqlite on native. Rows use the
-compound key `(serverId, kind, id)`; kinds are `agent`, `workspace`, `project`, `timeline`, and
-`checkpoint`. Directory entities have individual rows, timelines use the agent id, and the checkpoint
-uses the singleton id.
-
-The store is a typed persistence boundary. It returns values to directory and timeline owners and
-accepts their explicit commits; it never reads or writes UI state. Reads are scoped to the requested
-host, kinds, and ids. Opening a cached workspace uses exact workspace and project keys rather than a
-directory scan. One invalid row is deleted and returned as a miss without affecting other rows.
-An invalid directory row and its affected checkpoint cursor are repaired in one transaction, so a
-later launch cannot accept a checkpoint for a partial baseline. Directory changes and their
-checkpoint are also applied in one transaction.
-
-The cache is capped at 32 MiB and evicts whole hosts in least-recently-written order. Budget
-bookkeeping may scan opaque row sizes during a deferred write, never during host registry startup or
-before a requested cache row can paint. The row store is not encrypted. A cached timeline can contain
-source code, prompts, and tool output; encrypted-at-rest storage is a separate security decision.

-The authored interface ramp uses a 14px base. New native installs default to 15px; web and desktop default to 14px.

Primary readable content has its own `fontSize.content`, which defaults to 16px on native and 15px on web and desktop. It owns message bodies, composer input, Markdown, and PR prose. Controls, navigation, metadata, tool chrome, code, diffs, editors, and terminals stay on their interface or code tokens. **Code size** remains independent.
+Hierarchy is conveyed through weight and color, not size. Most labels, titles, and hints across the app are `fontSize.base` or `fontSize.xs`. The distinction between a row's primary line and its secondary line is `foreground` versus `foregroundMuted`.
 
 Weight has three tiers, applied by role:
 
-- **Screen titles** — the title in app chrome — use `<ScreenTitle>` (`packages/app/src/components/headers/screen-title.tsx`), which renders `fontSize.base` at weight `400` on compact and `300` on desktop. The New workspace hero is the only larger product title; it uses `fontSize["2xl"]` (`packages/app/src/screens/new-workspace-screen.tsx`).
+- **Screen titles** — the title at the top of a screen — use `<ScreenTitle>` (`packages/app/src/components/headers/screen-title.tsx`), which renders `fontSize.base` at weight `400` on compact and `300` on desktop. Top-of-screen titles are lighter on desktop, not heavier. The workspace screen header follows the same rule (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`).
 - **Structural labels** use `fontWeight.medium`. This applies to section labels above a stack of rows (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:519-523`, `packages/app/src/components/keyboard-shortcuts-dialog.tsx:63-67`), form field labels above an input inside a modal (`packages/app/src/components/add-host-modal.tsx:19-23`, `packages/app/src/components/pair-link-modal.tsx:24-28`), the title at the top of a modal/sheet/dialog (`packages/app/src/components/adaptive-modal-sheet.tsx:90-94`, `packages/app/src/components/ui/combobox.tsx:1607-1611`, `packages/app/src/components/welcome-screen.tsx:48-53`), action button labels in tight components such as the sidebar callout actions (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-callout.tsx:218-221`), and inline data emphasis on dense metadata rows (`packages/app/src/components/git-diff-pane.tsx:2322-2327`, `packages/app/src/components/file-explorer-pane.tsx:1115-1122`).

-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. Thin chrome such as the file toolbar uses `xs`; settings rows use `sm`. 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.

-Pick the rails from the content, then hold them. A settings card establishes a leading rail at the icon's left edge and a trailing rail at the last glyph's right edge; every row in that card uses the same two. A row whose icon is absent still starts its title on the leading rail. Indentation is a new rail, not an arbitrary offset.
-
-The pressable is bigger than the glyph, and that is fine. Hit areas grow outward from the aligned content — they never move it. A button that looks two pixels off because its padding is asymmetric is misaligned even though its box is correct.

-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.

-## 13. Status pills and badges
+## 12. Status pills and badges
 
-There is exactly one token per status signal — `statusSuccess`, `statusDanger`, `statusWarning`, `statusMerged` — and every status surface uses it: PR state icons, CI check icons and pies, diff stats, file-change icons, status pills, usage bars. A surface does not get a quieter or louder variant because of where it sits. If a dense list feels loud, that is a density or weight problem; fix the density, not the color. The tokens are generated, not hand-picked — see the rule in `packages/app/src/styles/theme.ts` and regenerate rather than nudging one value. The level is set by the densest consumer, the sidebar workspace list.
+Status pills are `palette.<color>[300]` foreground on a 10%-alpha background of the same color. Success uses green, warning uses amber, danger uses red, muted uses zinc. The `<StatusBadge>` primitive (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx`) is canonical.
 
-Status **dots** are the one exception, and they are a family of their own — `statusDotSuccess`, `statusDotDanger`, `statusDotWarning`, `statusDotRunning`, read only by `getStatusDotColor` (`packages/app/src/utils/status-dot-color.ts`). Same hues and the same generation rule, but their own band: 90% of gamut chroma against the status family's 55–60%. A dot is a few points of solid color with no shape to read and no label attached, and the running one pulses, so at the status band's chroma the dots read dimmer than the metadata beside them — backwards, since the dot is the row's state. Lightness is set by hue separation rather than by distance from the surface: at 6pt four dark hues on a light surface all read as one dark blob no matter how much contrast they have. So the light band runs as bright as the contrast floor allows at L=0.62, the last step where all four clear 3:1 against the sidebar's `surface2`; the dark band sits at L=0.72, where danger turns pink above. All four move together; regenerate the set, never one hue.
+Status dots — the small filled circles next to a host or agent name — are `borderRadius.full` filled with the status color (`statusSuccess`, `statusWarning`, `statusDanger`, or `foregroundMuted`). They sit in the trailing slot of a sidebar row or as a leading marker on a status pill.
 
-Status pills use the status token for text on the shared `surface3` and `border` shell. The neutral shell keeps the signal legible without manufacturing translucent colors outside the theme. The `<StatusBadge>` primitive (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx`) is canonical; a pill never reaches into `palette`.
-
-Status dots — the small filled circles next to a host or agent name — are `borderRadius.full` filled with the status token. Which token a given agent state maps to is owned by `getStatusDotColor` (`packages/app/src/utils/status-dot-color.ts`); a row, a group header, and a project icon all call it rather than restating the mapping. They sit in the trailing slot of a sidebar row or as a leading marker on a status pill.
-
-Identity badges — the project icon, the sidebar host badge, and the PR-panel participant avatar — do not use the theme palette. They draw from the fixed ten-color identity table in `packages/app/src/styles/identity-colors.ts`, whose hexes are held to one contrast band so a color identifies rather than ranks. Project icons and PR avatars use it as a fill with a white letter — that is `identityColor`, one theme-independent hex per identity. Host badges use it as a _foreground_ on both the glyph and the label, which is a different contrast problem that the fill table cannot solve: no single hex clears 4.5:1 against both a near-white and a dark sidebar. Foregrounds therefore come from `identityForeground(name, colorScheme)`, one set per scheme, hue unchanged. That set is generated on the **status family's** lightness and chroma fraction, because a meta row puts a host badge beside a CI check and a diff stat, and two families at different lightness make the brighter one shout. Change the status band and this one changes with it. A host with no color assigned falls back to `foregroundMuted`. The table is theme-independent by design; do not fork it per theme, and do not add hexes to it without recomputing the band.
-
-New status pills use `<StatusBadge>`. Identity, shortcut, and interactive link badges remain separate because color does not encode status there.
+The bespoke pills in `packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:97-116`, `packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:607-632`, and `packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:2889-2894` are drift to be removed. New code uses `<StatusBadge>`.

-- **`npm run cli -- ...`** runs through the same dev-home wrapper as the dev scripts, so the in-repo CLI automatically targets the current checkout's `.dev/paseo-home` and configured dev daemon endpoint.

-
-### 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 — 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. Point it at Xcode: `sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer`, then confirm with `xcrun --find simctl`.
-
-### 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.
+In any worktree-style or portless setup, never assume default ports.
 
 ### Desktop renderer profiling
 
-`npm run dev:desktop` starts Electron with Chromium remote debugging enabled so
-renderer CPU profiles can be captured through CDP. By default it passes
-`--remote-debugging-port=0`, so Chromium atomically asks the OS for an available
-port and prints the selected DevTools endpoint. Set
-`PASEO_ELECTRON_REMOTE_DEBUGGING_PORT` when a QA workflow requires a validated,
-fixed port.
-
-Desktop dev also scopes Electron `userData` to the current dev root. This prevents
-desktop-only environment inherited by terminals opened inside Paseo from coupling
-a new worktree instance to the parent desktop instance's profile or single-instance
-lock.
-
-The desktop workspace script `exec`s the dev runner so the terminal owns the runner
-PID. Terminal shutdown reaches the runner as `SIGHUP`; the runner stops Metro and
-asks Electron to quit through its normal app lifecycle. Do not add an npm wrapper or
-detach Electron: either change leaves an orphan holding the worktree's single-instance
-lock and broken output pipes.
-
-With desktop dev running, verify the real BrowserWindow, titlebar clearance, fullscreen
-transition, and 751-pixel settings split with:
-
-```bash
-npm run verify:electron-cdp --workspace=@getpaseo/desktop
-```
-
-The verifier reads the same `EXPO_PORT` and
-`PASEO_ELECTRON_REMOTE_DEBUGGING_PORT` environment names as desktop dev. Set an
-explicit remote-debugging port for verifier runs, and set both when testing an
-isolated instance on non-default ports.
-
-When running a dedicated Electron QA instance against a non-default Expo port, set
-`EXPO_DEV_URL` explicitly. Desktop main defaults to `http://localhost:8081`, so
-`PASEO_PORT=57928` alone starts Metro on 57928 but Electron still loads 8081.
-
-### React render profiling
-
-The app has a gated React render profiler in
-`packages/app/src/utils/render-profiler.tsx`. Wrap the component boundary you want
-to measure with `RenderProfile`, then open the app with `?renderProfile=1`. When
-the query param is absent, `RenderProfile` returns children directly and records
-nothing.
-
-Captured samples are exposed on `globalThis.__PASEO_RENDER_PROFILE__`. Call
-`globalThis.__PASEO_RESET_RENDER_PROFILE__?.()` after warm-up and before the
-interaction you want to measure. If a memo comparator or subscription boundary
-needs explanation, call `recordRenderProfileReasons(id, reasons)` while profiling;
-reason counts are exposed on `globalThis.__PASEO_RENDER_PROFILE_REASONS__`.
-
-Use this workflow for any render investigation:
-
-1. Add stable `RenderProfile` boundaries around the suspected root and expensive
-   children. Keep IDs specific enough to compare before and after.
-2. Reproduce against real app state, not toy fixtures, whenever practical.
-3. Record an idle baseline first. If idle is noisy, fix or account for that
-   before optimizing the interaction.
-4. Warm up the route, reset profiler samples, run the exact interaction, then
-   compare `actualDuration`, render counts, and per-commit samples.
-5. When a memo boundary still renders, record reasons before changing code. Do
-   not guess from object identity alone.
-6. Keep changes that move the measured profile. Remove probes or memo wrappers
-   that do not move the number.
-
-What this caught during the workspace tab investigation:
-
-- A large apparent workspace cost was real interaction work, not daemon noise;
-  the idle baseline stayed near zero.
-- The expensive stream rerender was mostly prop identity churn from pane context
-  callbacks and capability objects, not new stream data.
-- Stabilizing provider actions at the pane boundary helped because every mounted
-  panel consumes that context.
-- Comparing value-shaped capability flags beat preserving object identity through
-  unrelated stores.
-- Some plausible fixes did not pay off: memoizing the tab row and composer draft
-  object barely moved the profile, so they were removed.
-
-Existing scenario script: workspace agent/terminal tab switching. Start Expo on
-web, keep a daemon available, then run:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_PROFILE_SERVER_ID=<server-id> \
-PASEO_PROFILE_WORKSPACE_ID=<workspace-path> \
-PASEO_PROFILE_AGENT_ID=<agent-id> \
-  npm run profile:workspace-tabs --workspace=@getpaseo/app
-```
-
-This script opens the app with `?renderProfile=1`, creates a temporary terminal
-tab, switches between a real agent and that terminal, prints aggregated React
-Profiler timings, then removes the temporary terminal. It is an example of the
-workflow above, not the only way to use the profiler. Useful knobs:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_PROFILE_APP_URL=http://localhost:19010 # Expo web URL
-PASEO_PROFILE_SWITCH_COUNT=1                # number of agent/terminal switch pairs
-PASEO_PROFILE_SWITCH_WAIT_MS=250            # delay after each click
-PASEO_PROFILE_IDLE_WAIT_MS=3000             # idle baseline before switching
-PASEO_PROFILE_DUMP_COMMITS=1                # include per-commit profiler samples
-```
-
-For warm workspace switching, point the benchmark at an app backed by seeded
-daemon state:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_PROFILE_APP_URL=http://localhost:19010 \
-  npm run profile:workspace-switching --workspace=@getpaseo/app
-```
-
-The benchmark first warms `Cmd+1` through `Cmd+7`, then records a rapid seven-workspace
-burst. It separately warms the three-entry workspace deck LRU and records `Cmd+1` through
-`Cmd+3` without waits between keys. Both scenarios report keydown-to-activation latency and
-React commits on the same browser clock. Set `PASEO_PROFILE_WORKSPACE_DIGITS`,
-`PASEO_PROFILE_WORKSPACE_LRU_SIZE`, or `PASEO_PROFILE_WARM_QUIET_MS` to change the shape. Set
-`PASEO_PROFILE_DUMP_COMMITS=1` to include the nested component breakdown for every commit.
-Set `PASEO_PROFILE_RETAINED_REPEATS=5` to repeat the retained-LRU burst for a less noisy sample.
-Set `PASEO_PROFILE_CPU_PATH=/tmp/workspace-switch.cpuprofile` to run a separate retained-LRU
-capture after the latency scenarios and write a raw CDP CPU profile without contaminating their
-timings.
-Set `PASEO_PROFILE_TRACE_PATH=/tmp/workspace-switch.trace.json` to run another separate retained-LRU
-capture and write a Chromium Performance trace with User Timing marks and screenshots. Open the
-trace in the Chrome DevTools Performance panel. Set `PASEO_PROFILE_TRACE_INVALIDATIONS=1` only for a
-focused invalidation capture; React Native's generated stacks make that mode highly intrusive.
-Set `PASEO_PROFILE_TRACE_FOCUS=1` to include focus targets, durations, and JavaScript call stacks in
-the scenario report. This mode wraps `HTMLElement.focus`, so use it only for diagnosis.
-
-For the desktop Explorer sidebar toggle, run the app against the root checkout's daemon and use:
-
-```bash
-npm run profile:explorer-toggle --workspace=@getpaseo/app
-```
-
-The harness verifies port `6768`, opens the Paseo workspace, creates and warms the Explorer pane,
-records an idle control, then measures settled and 50 ms burst Cmd+E toggles. It reports
-input-to-DOM and input-to-paint latency, React commits, mounts, unmounts, and DOM mutations. Set
-`PASEO_PROFILE_TRACE_PATH=/tmp/explorer-toggle.trace.json` or
-`PASEO_PROFILE_CPU_PATH=/tmp/explorer-toggle.cpuprofile` for separate Chromium captures. Override
-the app URL, daemon port, workspace, or server with the corresponding `PASEO_PROFILE_*` variables.
-
-For sustained composer typing, run the paired composer-versus-textarea benchmark against a seeded
-daemon:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_PROFILE_APP_URL=http://localhost:19010 \
-  npm run profile:composer-typing --workspace=@getpaseo/app
-```
-
-The benchmark opens the first workspace, preserves its existing draft, and dispatches 300 printable
-keys at a fixed 16 ms cadence without waiting for each key to paint. It measures renderer
-`keydown` to the next paint opportunity, verifies that every character survived, alternates the
-composer and plain-textarea control across three runs, then restores the original draft. The report
-includes percentiles, frame coalescing, input processing, React work, long tasks, slow samples, and
-Playwright dispatch lateness. Set `PASEO_PROFILE_TYPING_KEYS`, `PASEO_PROFILE_TYPING_CADENCE_MS`,
-`PASEO_PROFILE_TYPING_REPEATS`, or `PASEO_PROFILE_WORKSPACE_DIGIT` to change the scenario. Optional
-`PASEO_PROFILE_CPU_PATH` and `PASEO_PROFILE_TRACE_PATH` captures run separately after the latency
-measurements so profiling overhead does not contaminate them.
-
-Set `PASEO_PROFILE_TYPING_SCENARIO=height-growth` to alternate `Shift+Enter` and printable input.
-That report includes input and composer height changes plus React work grouped into composer,
-stream, and ancestor/root scopes. Ancestor/root timings include descendant work because the Profiler
-boundaries are nested. A printable key after an empty newline should not change either height.
-
-### Preview Windows and Linux window controls on macOS
-
-Desktop development can replace native macOS traffic lights with Paseo's custom controls:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_DESKTOP_WINDOW_CONTROLS=windows npm run dev:desktop
-PASEO_DESKTOP_WINDOW_CONTROLS=linux npm run dev:desktop
-```
-
-The override is rejected in packaged builds. Restart the desktop process when changing it.
+`npm run dev:desktop` starts Electron with Chromium remote debugging enabled on
+`http://127.0.0.1:9223` so renderer CPU profiles can be captured through CDP.

-## Worktree starting refs
-
-A new worktree starts from the current branch's upstream, or the local branch when it has no

-identical refs; divergent local or non-origin refs remain explicit, qualified choices.
-
-The daemon sends the exact upstream ref because the remote and branch names cannot be inferred.
-Worktrees retain that ref for comparisons and updates from base while exposing its branch name to
-the UI. Merging into base requires a mutable local target: `origin/main` maps to local `main`, while
-another remote fails closed until the worktree records an explicit local target. Older daemons omit
-the optional field and retain the previous local-first behavior; older worktree metadata without the
-exact ref also resolves through its stored branch name.
-
-Worktrees inherit committed Git state only; uncommitted source-checkout changes are not copied.
-
 ## paseo.json service scripts
 
 `worktree.setup` and `worktree.teardown` accept either a multiline shell script or an array
 of commands. Both run sequentially.
 
-Lifecycle commands run in the worktree through a stable script shell: `bash`
-resolved from `PATH` on macOS/Linux, and PowerShell with `-NoProfile` on
-Windows. They inherit the daemon environment plus Paseo's lifecycle variables;
-login and interactive shell startup files are not loaded, and Bash's `BASH_ENV`
-hook is unset. ACP single-string terminal commands use the same non-login Bash
-behavior on macOS/Linux, but preserve their existing `cmd.exe /c` string semantics
-on Windows. Service scripts are separate:
-they launch in a terminal and receive the service environment described below.
-
-Because the shell differs per platform, a lifecycle command that must run
-everywhere cannot use POSIX-only syntax — `VAR=1 cmd` env prefixes, `$VAR`
-expansion, `cp`/`rm`, or a `./scripts/*.sh` entrypoint all fail under PowerShell,
-and `bash` is not guaranteed to exist on Windows. Put that logic in a Node script
-that reads what it needs from `process.env` and invoke it as
-`node ./scripts/<name>.mjs`. This repo's own setup does exactly that in
-`scripts/seed-worktree-dev-state.mjs` and `scripts/seed-ios-native-cache.mjs`.

-## 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 in persistent configuration:
-
-```bash
-paseo daemon config set features.webUi.enabled true
-paseo daemon start
-```
-
-Or set the environment variable:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_WEB_UI_ENABLED=true paseo daemon run
-```
-
-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.

-The app Metro config disables Watchman and uses Metro's node crawler for exports. Keep that invariant unless you have verified production app exports on machines with and without Watchman installed; distro Watchman builds can differ in capabilities and change Metro's crawl behavior.
-
 For tighter loops, you can rebuild a single workspace:
 
 - Changed `packages/protocol/src/*` or `packages/client/src/*`: `npm run build:client`.
 - Changed `packages/server/src/*`, `packages/cli/src/*`, `packages/relay/src/*`, or `packages/highlight/src/*`: `npm run build:server`.
 - Changed app build dependencies: `npm run build:app-deps`.
 
-## Dependency patches
-
-`patches/*.patch` are applied by `scripts/postinstall-patches.mjs` on every install. A patch only
-runs when its package is actually present, so add the package to that script's `patchedPackages`
-list when you introduce a new patch — otherwise the file sits in `patches/` and never applies.
-Regenerate a patch with `npx patch-package <package>` after editing `node_modules/<package>`, and
-patch every build the consumers use: Metro resolves the `react-native` field of a package
-(`src/*.ts` for `react-native-svg`), while Node and Vitest resolve `main`/`module`
-(`lib/commonjs`, `lib/module`). Patching only `lib/` leaves the app bundle unfixed.

-## ACP provider catalog versions
-
-The in-app ACP provider catalog pins package-runner entries (`npx`, `npm exec`,
-and `uvx`) to exact package versions. Run the drift checker regularly — and
-before releases — so catalog installs do not sit on stale agent versions:
-
-```bash
-npm run acp:version-drift        # report stale/non-exact package pins
-npm run acp:version-drift:check  # same, exits non-zero on drift
-npm run acp:version-drift:update # rewrite catalog pins to latest exact versions
-```
-
-The checker updates only package-runner catalog entries. Providers that use a
-preinstalled binary such as `opencode acp`, `cursor-agent acp`, or `goose acp`
-are reported as skipped because their versions are owned by the user's local
-install.
-
 ## CLI reference
 
-Use `npm run cli` to run the in-repo CLI from source (`npx tsx packages/cli/src/index.ts`). The script wraps the CLI with `scripts/dev-home.sh`, so it automatically uses this checkout's `.dev/paseo-home` and dev daemon endpoint unless you pass an explicit override. The globally installed `paseo` binary on macOS is a symlink into the installed Paseo desktop app, not this checkout — use it to drive the desktop's built-in daemon, but use `npm run cli` when you want to talk to the CLI you are editing.
-
-Canonical automation uses `paseo project create/ls/rename/delete`, `paseo workspace create/ls/rename/archive`, `paseo heartbeat create/update/delete`, and the full `paseo schedule` group. MCP heartbeat automation is intentionally smaller: create and delete only. Detach remains an explicit user lifecycle action rather than an agent tool. `paseo run --new-workspace local|worktree` composes workspace creation with agent creation. The old `paseo worktree` and `paseo run --worktree` forms are hidden compatibility aliases.

+# Git Snapshot Startup Reshaping - 2026-05-27
+
+## What changed
+
+The sidebar PR badge no longer has a special per-row fetch path. It is derived from the workspace snapshot, the same way the sidebar already gets branch/diff metadata.
+
+```text
+daemon startup / workspace subscription
+  -> WorkspaceGitService.refreshSnapshot(cwd)
+    -> getCheckoutSnapshotFacts(cwd)
+    -> getCheckoutStatus(cwd, { facts })
+    -> getCheckoutShortstat(cwd, { facts })
+    -> getPullRequestStatus(cwd, github, ..., { facts })
+    -> WorkspaceGitRuntimeSnapshot
+  -> session workspace descriptor githubRuntime.pullRequest
+  -> app useSidebarWorkspacesList()
+  -> SidebarWorkspaceEntry.prHint
+  -> Sidebar row badge + hover card checks
+```
+
+The remaining `checkout_pr_status_request` path is still present for explicit PR surfaces and compatibility, but the sidebar row badge no longer calls `useWorkspacePrHint()` and therefore no longer generates ad hoc checkout PR status requests per visible row.
+
+## Shared Git Facts
+
+`getCheckoutSnapshotFacts()` is now the first git read in the workspace snapshot builder. It gathers facts that were previously rediscovered by separate functions:
+
+- worktree root: `rev-parse --show-toplevel`
+- current branch: `rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`
+- origin remote URL
+- Paseo worktree ownership and stored base ref
+- resolved base ref and best comparison base
+- main repo root
+- branch remote/merge config
+- tracked origin branch
+- pull request lookup target for fork/PR worktrees
+
+Those facts are then passed through `CheckoutContext` so status, shortstat, and PR status reuse the same answers instead of independently re-reading them.
+
+## Current Data Flow
+
+```text
+Workspace subscription / fetch_workspaces
+  -> session workspace registry
+  -> workspaceGitService.getSnapshot(cwd, includeGitHub)
+     -> refresh queue/throttle/dedupe per normalized cwd
+     -> refreshGitSnapshot()
+        -> getCheckoutSnapshotFacts()
+        -> getCheckoutStatus({ facts })
+        -> getCheckoutShortstat({ facts })
+     -> refreshGitHubSnapshot()
+        -> getPullRequestStatus({ facts })
+     -> cached WorkspaceGitRuntimeSnapshot
+  -> WorkspaceDescriptorPayload.gitRuntime
+  -> WorkspaceDescriptorPayload.githubRuntime
+  -> app session store
+  -> useSidebarWorkspacesList()
+     -> diffStat from descriptor
+     -> prHint from descriptor.githubRuntime.pullRequest
+```
+
+## Startup Benchmark
+
+Added deterministic real-home benchmark:
+
+`packages/server/scripts/benchmark-startup-git-real-home.ts`
+
+The script freezes the current Paseo home using the same metadata-copy shape as `scripts/dev-home.sh`: JSON under `agents`, JSON under `projects`, and `config.json`. It then starts an isolated in-process daemon against that frozen home, subscribes to workspaces/agents, records git invocations through `runGitCommand`, and reports elapsed time, git count, max concurrency, CPU, and memory deltas.
+
+The frozen home used for the comparison contained 22 workspaces.
+
+### Before/After
+
+| run         | code shape                 | client shape                              | git commands | failures | elapsed |
+| ----------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | -----------: | -------: | ------: |
+| baseline    | before change              | legacy sidebar PR fanout                  |          529 |       20 | 39039ms |
+| split check | after change               | legacy sidebar PR fanout                  |          375 |       15 | 39039ms |
+| after       | after change               | snapshot-only sidebar, no PR badge fanout |          372 |       15 | 31273ms |
+| after 2     | after service fact sharing | snapshot-only sidebar, no PR badge fanout |          308 |       15 | 31334ms |
+
+The server-side fact reuse accounts for nearly all measured git command reduction: `529 -> 375` (`-154`, `-29.1%`) even when the old PR fanout is still forced. Removing the sidebar fanout removes the ad hoc request path, but in this run it only changed command count by `3` because the refreshed workspace snapshots already carried the PR data by the time the fanout ran.
+
+The second pass shares checkout facts between workspace observation setup and snapshot refresh. That removes another `64` git commands from the same frozen-home run: `372 -> 308` (`-17.2%` from the previous after, `-41.8%` from baseline).

+
+## Snapshot Equivalence Guard
+
+Added a focused utility test proving that status, shortstat, and PR status return the same data when run from shared snapshot facts. The same test records git calls and asserts the facts-backed path does not re-run:
+
+- `rev-parse --show-toplevel`
+- `rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`
+
+Test:
+
+`packages/server/src/utils/checkout-git.test.ts` -> `reuses checkout snapshot facts across status, shortstat, and PR status reads`
+
+## Remaining Waste Visible In Baseline
+
+This pass reshaped the data flow and removed the sidebar PR badge special path. It did not try to optimize every command.
+
+The benchmark still shows repeated per-workspace reads that are candidates for the next pass:
+
+- base ref existence checks still repeat as `show-ref` probes.
+- default branch resolution still repeats `symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`.
+- repo common-dir lookup is lower, but still above the apparent git workspace count.
+- shortstat still runs its own merge-base/diff/untracked scan per workspace.
+
+The important invariant now is clearer: sidebar-visible git data should flow from `WorkspaceGitService` snapshots, and snapshot builders should receive reusable git facts through `CheckoutContext`.

+# OpenCode Provider Snapshot Startup Timeout Diagnosis - 2026-05-27
+
+## Answer
+
+The startup timeout is real OpenCode provider snapshot work, not an agent resume path.
+
+In the dev-style copied-home reproduction, the OpenCode snapshot misses the 30s budget because several expensive things stack:
+
+1. Paseo starts from a copied `PASEO_HOME` containing 4,851 agent records.
+2. Clients ask for provider snapshots for three cwd scopes at almost the same time:
+   - `/Users/moboudra`
+   - `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo`
+   - `/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor`
+3. Each OpenCode snapshot runs two OpenCode SDK calls:
+   - `GET /provider?directory=...` through `client.provider.list()`
+   - `GET /agent?directory=...` through `client.app.agents()`
+4. One cold `opencode serve` process is shared by the three cwd scopes. It took 8.562s to become ready.
+5. After OpenCode was listening, Paseo issued six OpenCode HTTP calls concurrently.
+6. The OpenCode `/provider` responses are large: about 3,549,620 decompressed bytes per cwd.
+7. During the same window, the daemon was still doing heavy startup workspace git work. In the exact 18:14:19-18:14:43 window, the daemon log has 292 git spawn/close events.
+8. The `/provider` calls eventually succeeded, but too late: they completed about 32.2s-32.5s after the snapshot fetch started, while the snapshot timeout is 30s.
+
+So the root cause is:
+
+```text
+Cold OpenCode server startup + three concurrent cwd snapshots + large OpenCode /provider responses + daemon startup git contention causes client.provider.list() to complete after Paseo's 30s snapshot budget.
+```
+
+More precise wording: the contention is machine-level process/CPU/filesystem contention created by daemon startup work, especially git work. It is not proven to be an OpenCode internal lock or a Paseo-only event-loop issue. A daemon-free repro with only OpenCode plus an external git storm slowed the same six OpenCode calls from about 1s to about 30s total.
+
+Manual settings refresh works because it runs after startup contention is gone and uses `force: true`, which creates fresh OpenCode runtime/server state. The same OpenCode provider refreshes then complete in about 1.7s-2.2s.
+
+The daemon does not auto-retry error snapshots. A failed provider snapshot is cached as `status: "error"` until an explicit refresh resets it to loading.
+
+## Follow-up: Normal Copied-Home Startup Check
+
+I later reran a normal dev-daemon startup against a fresh copy of the same Paseo home metadata and drove the app startup request path:
+
+```text
+fetchWorkspaces
+fetchAgents
+getProvidersSnapshot(home scope)
+getProvidersSnapshot(first workspace scope)
+```
+
+That run did not reproduce the 30s OpenCode timeout.
+
+```text
+home scope:
+  OpenCode ready at ~8s
+  availability: 1.6s
+  fetch total: 5.2s
+
+first workspace scope:
+  OpenCode ready at ~26s
+  availability: 2.0s
+  fetch total: 15.4s
+```
+
+The slowest OpenCode operation in that successful run was the workspace-scoped `/provider` response body read: `13.6s`. The daemon log had no `Timed out refreshing OpenCode` entry and no OpenCode provider snapshot failure.
+
+This means the timeout is reproducible under the heavier multi-scope startup contention captured below, but it is not guaranteed on every copied-home dev startup.
+
+## Reproduction Used
+
+The user's correction was right: the useful reproduction is not a random isolated home. It must match `dev.sh` worktree behavior.
+
+Relevant scripts:
+
+- `scripts/dev.sh`
+- `scripts/dev-daemon.sh`
+- `scripts/dev-home.sh`
+
+`dev-home.sh` only seeds this metadata into the dev home:
+
+```text
+agents/**/*.json
+projects/**/*.json
+config.json
+```
+
+It does not copy `chat`, `loops`, `schedules`, sockets, pid files, logs, or worktree contents.
+
+I ran a separate daemon, not the main daemon:
+
+```text
+PASEO_HOME=/var/folders/xl/kkk9drfd3ms_t8x7rmy4z6900000gn/T/paseo-devseed.Wms6pi
+PASEO_LISTEN=127.0.0.1:51116
+PASEO_LOG_LEVEL=trace
+```
+
+Startup facts:
+
+```text
+18:13:39.552 Agent storage initialized: 712ms
+18:13:39.559 Workspace registries bootstrapped: 719ms
+18:13:39.961 Agent registry loaded: 4851 records
+18:13:39.972 Server listening: http://127.0.0.1:51116
+```
+
+The probe then connected four client sessions and requested:
+
+- workspaces
+- active agents
+- provider snapshots for home, paseo, and blankpage/editor
+
+Client-visible result:
+
+```text
+18:14:30.263 /Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor opencode error:

+18:14:19.926 OpenCode server listening after 8562ms
+```
+
+Six SDK calls were then issued:
+
+```text
+18:14:19.931 GET /provider directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo

+Why six:

+| `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo`            | workspace-scoped provider snapshot for the Paseo workspace | `client.provider.list()` -> `/provider` | `client.app.agents()` -> `/agent` |
+| `/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor` | workspace/agent cwd snapshot for blankpage/editor          | `client.provider.list()` -> `/provider` | `client.app.agents()` -> `/agent` |
+
+Multiple clients can request the same snapshot scope during startup, but non-forced provider loads are deduped by `(cwd, provider)`. Different cwd scopes are separate loads. Three cwd scopes times two OpenCode SDK calls each is the six OpenCode calls in this repro.
+
+Headers arrived before the 30s timeout:
+

+But body consumption and completion lagged:

+```text
+18:14:29.380 /agent home complete, total app.agents duration 9450ms
+18:14:29.813 /agent paseo complete, total app.agents duration 9883ms
+18:14:30.263 /agent blankpage timed out at 10s
+18:14:31.332 /agent blankpage body finally finished, after the 10s app.agents timeout
+
+18:14:41.687 paseo snapshot outer 30s timeout fires
+18:14:41.688 home snapshot outer 30s timeout fires

+18:14:43.798 /provider blankpage completes, provider.list duration 23868ms, total listModels 32411ms
+18:14:43.839 /provider paseo completes, provider.list duration 23911ms, total listModels 32476ms
+```
+
+The useful `/provider` results arrived about 1.9s-2.2s after the snapshot manager had already marked home and paseo as failed.
+
+## Why Settings Refresh Works
+
+After the daemon settled, I ran the same refresh path through the daemon on port `51116`, using `refreshProvidersSnapshot({ providers: ["opencode"] })`.
+
+Results:
+
+```text
+home refresh:
+  total: 2165ms
+  status: ready
+  models: 409
+  modes: 5
+
+/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo refresh:
+  total: 1675ms
+  status: ready
+  models: 409
+  modes: 5
+
+/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor refresh:
+  total: 1794ms
+  status: ready
+  models: 409
+  modes: 5
+```
+
+Trace details for the manual-style refresh:
+
+```text
+OpenCode server acquisition: 708ms-1291ms
+/agent completion: 433ms-592ms after request start
+/provider completion: 524ms-618ms after request start
+```
+
+That proves the startup failure is not bad credentials, not a permanently wedged OpenCode install, and not OpenCode generally taking more than 30s. It is startup timing and contention.
+
+## Minimal OpenCode-Only Repros
+
+### OpenCode Only, No Daemon, No Artificial Load
+
+I started a fresh `opencode serve`, waited for stdout `listening on`, then issued the same six HTTP calls concurrently:
+
+```text
+GET /provider?directory=/Users/moboudra
+GET /agent?directory=/Users/moboudra
+GET /provider?directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo
+GET /agent?directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo
+GET /provider?directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor
+GET /agent?directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor
+```
+
+Three runs:
+
+| Run | `opencode serve` ready | All six calls complete |
+| --- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- |
+| 1   | 1376ms                 | 1295ms                 |
+| 2   | 906ms                  | 1050ms                 |
+| 3   | 939ms                  | 898ms                  |
+
+Slowest individual call in those runs:
+
+```text
+/provider /Users/moboudra/dev/paseo: 1270ms total
+/agent /Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor: 1251ms total
+```
+
+So six concurrent OpenCode calls alone are not the bug.
+
+### OpenCode Only Plus External Git Storm, No Daemon
+
+I then ran the same OpenCode-only six-call test while an external shell spawned repeated git commands across the same real workspaces/worktrees. This did not use the Paseo daemon.
+
+Result:
+
+```text
+opencode serve ready: 15479ms
+all six OpenCode calls complete: 15176ms after server ready
+combined cold-start + calls: about 30655ms
+```
+
+Individual calls under the external git storm:
+
+| Call        | Cwd                                    |   Total |
+| ----------- | -------------------------------------- | ------: |
+| `/provider` | `/Users/moboudra`                      | 10684ms |
+| `/agent`    | `/Users/moboudra`                      | 10767ms |
+| `/provider` | `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo`            | 13220ms |
+| `/agent`    | `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo`            | 13147ms |
+| `/provider` | `/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor` | 14675ms |
+| `/agent`    | `/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor` | 15038ms |
+
+This is the daemon-free minimal evidence that process/filesystem contention can push the same OpenCode cold-start + six-call workload to the same 30s boundary.
+
+## Why It Does Not Retry
+
+`ProviderSnapshotManager.getSnapshot()` only starts background warmup for:
+
+- no existing snapshot
+- missing providers
+- entries still in `loading` with no active load
+
+When refresh fails, `refreshProvider()` stores:
+
+```text
+status: "error"
+error: "Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms"
+```
+
+An `error` entry is not treated as stale/loading by `getSnapshot()`, so normal reads keep returning the cached error.
+
+Settings refresh calls `refresh_providers_snapshot_request`, which routes to:
+
+```text
+refreshSettingsSnapshot()
+clearCachedProviders()
+resetSnapshotToLoading()
+refreshProviders(... force: true)
+```
+
+That is why you have to force a manual refresh.
+
+## Git Work During The Repro
+
+This is not the final optimization report, but it matters for the timeout because it overlaps exactly with OpenCode response handling.
+
+Total git commands in the dev-style copied-home daemon log:
+
+```text
+632 spawned
+632 closed
+```
+
+Top cwd counts:

+
+In the exact OpenCode pressure window, `18:14:19` through `18:14:43`, there were:
+
+```text
+142 git command spawns
+150 git command closes
+```
+
+The main repeated command shapes were:
+
+```text
+76  git rev-parse --show-toplevel
+72  git status --porcelain
+72  git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/remotes/origin/main
+72  git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/heads/main
+16  git config --get branch.main.remote
+16  git config --get branch.main.merge
+16  git rev-list --count main..origin/main
+16  git rev-list --count origin/main..main
+```
+
+## Original `log.txt` Alignment
+
+The original startup showed the same home and paseo outer timeout shape:
+
+```text
+16:04:22.466 /Users/moboudra/dev/paseo:
+  Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms
+
+16:04:22.482 /Users/moboudra:
+  Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms
+```
+
+The original logs did not include SDK fetch/header/body timing, so they could only show the wrapper-level timeout. The dev-style copied-home reproduction with instrumentation now shows the missing link: the `/provider` calls completed just after the 30s snapshot budget.
+
+## Files Instrumented For Diagnosis
+
+Temporary trace instrumentation was added to:
+
+- `packages/server/src/server/agent/provider-snapshot-manager.ts`
+- `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/opencode-agent.ts`
+- `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/opencode/runtime.ts`
+- `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/opencode/server-manager.ts`
+
+The instrumentation is behavior-neutral and only emits trace logs.

+# Daemon Startup Sequence Analysis - 2026-05-27
+
+Source log: `log.txt` at repository root.
+
+Scope: current sliced startup log, starting at daemon worker startup and ending after workspace registry reconciliation and the first OpenCode heartbeat.
+
+This report is descriptive only. It does not propose optimizations.
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The daemon becomes ready quickly, then does a heavy post-listen startup pass driven by reconnecting clients and workspace/app hydration.
+
+- Worker start: `16:03:46.678`, line 1.
+- Server listening: `16:03:48.285`, line 47, elapsed `602ms`.
+- First client hello: `16:03:50.285`, line 66.
+- Workspace registries reconciled: `16:04:33.666`, line 1777, elapsed `45983ms`.
+
+The startup shape is therefore:
+
+- Daemon listen readiness: about `0.6s`.
+- Client reconnect plus workspace/app/provider hydration: about `45s`.
+- No git commands after workspace registry reconciliation in this slice.
+
+## Method
+
+I parsed structured trace lines from `log.txt`, especially:
+
+- `Git command closed`
+- `agent.session.inbound`
+- `agent.session.outbound`
+- `ws_slow_request`
+- provider snapshot warnings
+- provider resume events
+
+Important limitation: git command logs do not carry a websocket request id, so per-request attribution is inferred from timing and server code paths. Per-workspace git counts, command shapes, durations, and failures are exact for this log.
+
+Relevant code paths checked:
+
+- `packages/server/src/server/session.ts`
+  - `fetch_workspaces_request` calls `syncWorkspaceGitObservers(payload.entries)`.
+  - `checkout_status_request` calls `workspaceGitService.getSnapshot(resolvedCwd)`.
+  - `checkout_pr_status_request` calls `workspaceGitService.getSnapshot(cwd)`.
+- `packages/server/src/server/workspace-git-service.ts`
+  - checkout snapshot/root resolution uses `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`.
+  - snapshot refresh collects dirty state, upstream/ahead/behind, ref existence, and base divergence.
+- `packages/app/src/contexts/session-context.tsx`
+  - initial workspace hydration calls `client.fetchWorkspaces({ sort: activity_at desc, subscribe, page limit 200 })`.
+- `packages/app/src/hooks/use-sidebar-workspaces-list.ts`
+  - sidebar workspace refresh also calls `client.fetchWorkspaces({ sort: activity_at desc, page limit 200 })`.

+
+Summed process time is not wall-clock time. Many commands overlap.

+
+What those categories mean in the app:
+
+- Root detection: determine whether a cwd is inside a git repo and find its checkout root.
+- Dirty status: show dirty/clean workspace state.
+- Upstream config and ahead/behind: show branch tracking and sync state.
+- Ref existence and base divergence: compare checkout branch against candidate base refs for checkout/PR status.

+## Git Failure Shape
+
+There were 75 nonzero git exits.
+
+Most failures were not timeouts. They were expected probe failures:
+
+- Non-repo checks: `rev-parse --show-toplevel` fails for paths that are not git repositories.
+- Missing upstream config: `config --get branch.<branch>.remote` fails for branches without configured upstream.
+- Missing remote branch graph: `rev-list --count <branch>..origin/<branch>` fails when the remote branch/ref does not exist.
+- Missing ref checks: `show-ref --verify --quiet refs/remotes/origin/my-branch` fails when a candidate ref does not exist.
+
+The `~/dev/opencode` git failures are branch graph probes for `ecosystem-paseo` versus `origin/ecosystem-paseo`, not OpenCode provider startup failures.

+
+## Provider Findings
+
+### OpenCode
+
+OpenCode provider snapshot refresh had two timeouts:
+
+| time           | line | cwd                         | error                                         |
+| -------------- | ---: | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| `16:04:22.466` |  987 | `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo` | `Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms` |
+| `16:04:22.482` | 1002 | `/Users/moboudra`           | `Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms` |
+
+These are provider snapshot failures, not OpenCode agent resume failures.
+
+The persisted OpenCode agent did resume:
+
+| time           | line | event                                                 |
+| -------------- | ---: | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `16:04:24.183` | 1201 | `provider.opencode.subscribe.start`                   |
+| `16:04:24.183` | 1202 | `provider.opencode.subscribe.ready`                   |
+| `16:04:24.306` | 1214 | raw event `server.connected`                          |
+| `16:04:25.933` | 1321 | `Agent resumed from persistence`, provider `opencode` |
+| `16:04:34.197` | 1783 | raw event `server.heartbeat`                          |
+| `16:04:44.200` | 1789 | raw event `server.heartbeat`                          |
+
+There are no `provider.opencode.subscribe.error` or OpenCode agent fatal errors in this slice.
+
+OpenCode-related git:
+
+- `~/dev/opencode` had 22 git commands.
+- Four failed.
+- The failed commands were branch graph probes for `ecosystem-paseo` versus `origin/ecosystem-paseo`.
+- Those failures are git state/probe failures, not OpenCode provider process failures.
+
+### Codex
+
+Codex provider startup observations:
+
+- `provider.codex.spawn` appears multiple times for provider snapshot/config discovery.
+- A persisted Codex agent resumes successfully at `16:04:06.357`, line 518.
+- Debug logs show failed reads of Codex saved config defaults, but these are debug-level and do not become provider startup warnings/errors in this slice.
+- There are unhandled Codex trace event types such as remote-control/status and thread/goal status, but no Codex timeout or fatal provider startup failure in this slice.
+
+### Claude
+
+Claude agents resume successfully:
+
+| time           | line | client   | agent                                  |
+| -------------- | ---: | -------- | -------------------------------------- |
+| `16:04:02.540` |  434 | Electron | `f884552a-1383-4dba-8583-7ae0b6a62353` |
+| `16:04:03.772` |  456 | Android  | `0c89a057-05f2-4e23-9895-84c8e1952310` |
+
+## What Work The App Asked For
+
+The startup work visible in the app/server protocol is:
+
+- Workspace list/sidebar hydration:
+  - `fetch_workspaces_request`, 9 total.
+  - This asks for the workspace list sorted by `activity_at desc`, usually page limit 200.
+  - On the server this triggers workspace git observer sync and workspace update flushing.
+
+- Agent list and agent detail hydration:
+  - `fetch_agents_request`, 11 total.
+  - `fetch_agent_request`, 1 total.
+  - `fetch_agent_timeline_request`, 7 total.
+  - Timeline requests are among the slowest requests in this slice.
+
+- Checkout/PR status UI:
+  - `checkout_pr_status_request`, 18 total, all Electron.
+  - `checkout_status_request`, 1 total.
+  - `subscribe_checkout_diff_request`, 2 total.
+  - These correspond to git snapshot consumers and are clustered during Electron reconnect.
+
+- Provider/model/mode UI:
+  - `get_providers_snapshot_request`, 9 total.
+  - `providers_snapshot_update`, 129 outbound updates.
+  - OpenCode provider snapshot refresh times out twice during this flow.
+
+- Workspace chrome:
+  - `project_icon_request`, 9 total.
+  - `file_explorer_request`, 1 total.
+
+- Terminal panel:
+  - `list_terminals_request`, 5 total.
+  - `subscribe_terminals_request`, 5 total.
+  - `terminals_changed`, 5 outbound updates.
+
+- Attention state:
+  - `clear_agent_attention`, 6 total.
+  - Some failures appear while clearing attention for persisted agents, but these are not provider startup failures.
+
+## Concrete Waste-Looking Work, Without Optimizing Yet
+
+The log shows repeated work in these exact forms:
+
+- 444 git commands total, but only 14 complete before the first client hello. The rest are post-listen startup/client hydration work.
+- Several workspaces get repeated full checkout snapshot patterns:
+  - three 33-command worktrees each get `3` root checks, `3` dirty checks, `3` upstream config probes, `9` ahead/behind probes, `12` ref checks, and `3` base divergence checks.
+  - three 27-command worktrees each get `3` root checks, `3` dirty checks, `6` upstream config probes, `6` ahead/behind probes, `6` ref checks, and `3` base divergence checks.
+  - `~/dev/paseo` gets `5` root checks, `5` dirty checks, `10` upstream config probes, and `10` ahead/behind probes.
+- Electron sends 18 `checkout_pr_status_request` messages at the same timestamp, then they drain slowly over ~20s.
+- Provider snapshot updates are broadcast very frequently: 129 outbound `providers_snapshot_update` messages, including large repeated payloads around 216KB and 415KB.
+- OpenCode snapshot refresh times out twice after 30s, but the actual OpenCode agent connection/resume succeeds.
+
+Again, this section names repeated work observed in the startup. It does not claim which repetition should be removed.

-# 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.
-
-Host-side CLI commands select the container explicitly, for example `paseo project ls --host 127.0.0.1:6767`. Without an endpoint selector the CLI looks for a local home’s supervisor. Container environment settings are deployment overrides; worker restart preserves them. Your container manager owns full supervisor replacement.
-
-## 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.
-

-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 [official Paseo relay](https://github.com/getpaseo/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.

-# Explorer sidebar and side pane
-
-The Explorer sidebar and the side pane share panel implementations, but they have different shell
-contracts.
-
-| Surface          | Purpose                      | Lifecycle                                  |
-| ---------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
-| Explorer sidebar | Files and Changes navigation | Cmd+E shows or hides the dedicated dock    |
-| Side pane        | Ordinary workspace content   | Created and closed like any workspace pane |
-
-## Panel host contract
-
-Every desktop panel registers its supported `PaneHost` values and presentation. Launchers derive
-fixed-target labels and icons from that registration, filter by host, and never substitute one
-panel type for another. Tab moves reject unsupported destinations, and placement resolves only to
-a compatible pane.
-
-Files and Changes are the Explorer defaults. Their panel manifests mark them as singletons,
-so a pane’s + menu omits each while that pane already contains it. Closing one makes its menu
-item available again. Other compatible tabs, including agents, terminals, files, and diffs,
-can move between Explorer and main panes.
-Keep panel implementations independent of either shell. `WorkspacePanelHost` owns mounting and
-retention, while each shell owns its tabs, focus, dragging, resizing, and shortcuts.
-
-## Explorer sidebar
-
-`packages/app/src/workspace-tabs/explorer-sidebar.ts` owns show, hide, toggle, and view selection.
-On desktop, the shell is rendered outside the workspace split canvas so it divides the full
-workspace, including the header. It has its own persisted width and resize handle. Main-pane splits
-never read or modify that width.
-
-`packages/app/src/workspace-tabs/open-supporting-view.ts` owns semantic Changes and pull-request
-opens. Compact and wide native layouts select the matching Explorer tab. Desktop Changes opens
-follow the shared diff preference. Desktop pull requests use their Main panel, On the side, or
-Explorer sidebar setting. Automatic PR discovery follows that preference once per workspace without
-interrupting the user's work. Closing the tab opts that workspace out of future automatic opens,
-even for a different PR; moving or reordering it remains the user's choice.
-Callers request the content and never choose the shell.
-The composer Changes pill is a two-stage desktop action: it first reveals Explorer on Changes, then
-routes later presses to the working diff through the shared diff preference.
-
-The persisted layout still contains the Explorer pane so tabs survive reloads. The renderer removes
-that pane from the workspace split tree and docks it separately. Persisted identifiers retain the
-literal `"explorer"` pane id and `explorerPaneIdByWorkspace` key for compatibility.
-
-Explorer uses the shared workspace tab row and ordinary tab context menus. Files and Changes
-hide their close buttons through the panel manifest; close them from the tab context menu.
-Other tabs reveal the close control on hover. The + menu opens compatible panels in the dock and
-omits Agent and terminal profiles. Agents and terminals can still be dragged into Explorer.
-Bulk-close actions apply only to the dock's tabs. Explorer tabs can be reordered and dragged
-between compatible panes, but the dock cannot be split or maximized. Selecting an Explorer tab
-does not change workspace focus.
-
-Cmd+E shows or hides Explorer without changing its selected view. Compact layouts use the combined
-full-screen Explorer overlay for Changes, Files, and pull requests, and close it after a file opens. Compact Changes has no tree rail; its overview is the Jump to file action (`packages/app/src/git/jump-to-file/`), a sheet over the same changed-files tree the desktop rail renders.
-Wide native layouts without pane splits use the same combined content in a resizable inline dock;
-opening a file leaves that dock visible. Both presentations keep their selection in the panel store
-and reuse the layout store's per-workspace Explorer width. They do not create a second Explorer
-lifecycle.
-
-## Side pane
-
-`packages/app/src/workspace-tabs/open-beside.ts` owns content opened beside the user's work. The
-layout store remembers one ordinary pane per workspace. The first side open creates a full-height
-right split around the workspace root; later side opens reuse it.
-
-Removing a pane clears its remembered id; a later side open creates a new pane. The last visible
-ordinary pane stays when its final tab closes and shows the New launcher. An empty workspace does
-not automatically create an agent draft tab; choosing Agent opens one. Explorer cannot replace the
-workspace canvas, even when visible. Restoring a saved layout enforces the same rule while preserving Explorer and saved
-tab content. There is no hidden side-pane lifecycle.
-
-Placement intent still controls existing tabs:
-
-| Mode      | New target                  | Existing target                   |
-| --------- | --------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
-| `pane`    | opens in the requested pane | moves to the requested pane       |
-| `prefer`  | opens in the requested pane | stays where the user placed it    |
-| `focused` | opens in the focused pane   | focuses it where it already lives |
-| `ambient` | opens in a compatible pane  | focuses it where it already lives |
-
-Explicit **Open to Side** uses `pane`. Implicit opens use `prefer`, so a preference affects only a
-new target and never yanks an existing tab out of a user-selected pane.
-
-## Routing preferences
-
-Desktop **Settings → Layout → Open location** has independent Main panel or On the side choices for
-Explorer Files, diffs, chat files, files opened from diffs, and subagents. They default to Main
-panel. Mobile ignores them.
-
-Pull requests have a three-way open location: Main panel, On the side, or Explorer sidebar. Explorer
-sidebar is the default. Compact layouts always open pull requests in Explorer regardless of this
-desktop preference.
-
-Panels request an implicit open through the narrow `openPreferredTarget(target, source)` pane
-contract. Entry points outside panels use `openPreferredWorkspaceTarget`. Do not branch on a
-specific shell inside a panel.

-# 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`, `settings`,
-  `plugin/[pluginId]/[surfaceId]`, and
-  `plugin/[pluginId]/[contributionKind]/[contributionId]`.
-
-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.
-
-## Error Recovery
-
-The root error boundary lives above `ExpoRoot` in `src/root-app.tsx`. Reload
-remounts the router at `/open-project`, preserving saved workspace layouts and
-the remembered selection. Do not move the boundary inside the root layout:
-catching a render error there unmounts the navigator, so the recovery button
-cannot reliably dispatch a navigation reset. Starting recovery at `/` would
-restore the same workspace and could repeat the crash.
-
-## 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. Both paths wait for the root navigation container to be ready. The
-workspace navigation owner keeps the latest pending intent across ref
-re-registration and applies it on the container's `ready` event; routes must not
-add their own readiness retries.
-
-Those hidden entries are not harmless: composer floating panels can measure
-against the wrong deck and disappear offscreen. Follow the
-[retained panel measurement rules](coding-standards.md#retained-panel-measurements)
-for components that intentionally remain mounted while hidden.
-
-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.
-
-Plugin settings use the distinct `settings/hosts/[serverId]/plugins/[pluginId]/[screenId]` leaf;
-Back returns to that host's Plugins page.
-
-Settings detail routes are separate siblings on purpose. Keep
-`settings/[section]`, the host routes, the projects index, and project detail as
-distinct route names. `router.dismissTo()` ultimately matches stack entries by
-route name. A single catch-all Settings route would make project detail and the
-projects index the same route; Back would update params in place and leave a
-phantom detail entry underneath. The host routes also stay outside the
-store-ready protected group so a cold host deep link can survive daemon startup.
-Do not collapse this topology with a catch-all, `getId`, or
-`dangerouslySingular` workaround.
-
-## Agent Targets
-
-Notifications and agent URLs enter the router with different authoritative
-targets.
-
-- Notifications carry `serverId`, `workspaceId`, and `agentId`. Route them
-  directly to the workspace with the agent open intent.
-- Agent URLs carry only `serverId` and `agentId`. Route them through
-  `/h/[serverId]/agent/[agentId]`; that route waits for the named host, resolves
-  the agent's workspace from the host, and then opens the agent there.
-
-Both paths converge on `navigateToAgent()`. Do not make notification routing
-guess a workspace, and do not add a workspace to the stable agent URL format.
-
-## 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.
-
-Navigators keep their identity across appearance changes. `ThemedStack` remounts
-each screen's content below the native stack when appearance tokens change; a
-keyed wrapper above a stack remounts the stack itself, and Android crashes when
-that happens while a FragmentManager transaction is running, which settings
-hydration at startup makes likely. A screen that mounts a nested navigator (the
-root stack's `h/[serverId]`) is passed in `nestedNavigatorScreens` so the nested
-stack owns its own screens. See [unistyles.md](unistyles.md).
-
-## 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
-      `target` when the action names a specific tab.
-- [ ] Did you add a route? Register it in the layout that directly owns it.
-- [ ] Did `useLocalSearchParams()` lose a required param? Fix the route tree.
-- [ ] Did native show a blank screen without a crash? Suspect route ownership
-      before stores, themes, or rendering.

 The file explorer uses colored SVG icons from [`material-icon-theme`](https://github.com/material-extensions/vscode-material-icon-theme) (installed as a dev dependency in `packages/app`).
 
+Icons are inlined as SVG strings in:
+
+```
+packages/app/src/components/material-file-icons.ts
+```
+
+This file is auto-generated. Do not edit it by hand.
+
 ## How it works
 
-Two files:
-
-- `packages/app/src/components/material-file-icons.ts` — the vendor table. `SVG_ICONS` maps icon
-  names to SVG strings copied verbatim from the theme, `EXTENSION_TO_ICON` maps extensions to icon
-  names, and `getRawFileIconSvg(fileName)` looks one up with a generic fallback. Keep it a faithful
-  copy so re-copying an icon stays a mechanical edit.
-- `packages/app/src/components/file-icon-svg.ts` — `getFileIconSvg(fileName)`, the only thing
-  anyone should import. It desaturates the vendor colours and caches the result.
-
-Render with `<MaterialFileIcon fileName size />` rather than reaching for `SvgXml` yourself.
-
-## Why the colours are toned down
-
-material-icon-theme picks its palette for VS Code's file tree, where the icon is the only colour on
-the row. Ours share rows with status dots, diff stats, and check badges, and a column of them at
-full chroma is the loudest thing in the panel.
-
-Every hex in the SVG is pulled toward neutral at the same perceived lightness (`desaturateHexColor`
-in `packages/app/src/utils/color.ts`, OKLab — scaling HSL saturation instead would darken the
-yellows and barely touch the blues). Hue survives, which is the only part of an icon's colour that
-carries meaning at 16pt.
-
-`ICON_CHROMA` in `file-icon-svg.ts` is the single knob. Move it; do not add per-icon overrides, or
-we are back to hand-picking 53 colours.
+- `SVG_ICONS` maps icon names (e.g. `"typescript"`) to raw SVG strings
+- `EXTENSION_TO_ICON` maps file extensions (e.g. `"ts"`) to icon names
+- `getFileIconSvg(fileName)` returns the SVG string for a given filename, falling back to a generic file icon
+- `packages/app/src/components/file-explorer-pane.tsx` is the only consumer; it renders the SVG with `SvgXml` from `react-native-svg`

-# File observation
-
-Use `packages/server/src/server/file-observer` for recursive filesystem observation. Create one observer service at the owning service boundary, subscribe roots through it, and close it during owner shutdown. Keep platform watchers, directory discovery, exclusion reconciliation, event batching, failure cleanup, diagnostics, and teardown inside the module. A consumer supplies a root and excluded subtrees; it must not branch on the platform or manage child watchers.
-
-Do not replace the Linux implementation with `fs.watch({ recursive: true })`. Node 22 implements Linux recursion in JavaScript by walking the tree and watching every file and directory. Paseo's directory-only Linux watcher already exhausted resources before ignored-tree pruning and a watcher cap were added in [#794](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/794).
-
-Closing an observation must remain safe after its root is renamed or removed. Workspace archive removes owned worktrees while releasing observation references, so teardown cannot assume the watched path still exists.
-
-`unsubscribe()` is an awaited barrier. Once it resolves, no scan, reconciliation, queued event, native handle, or callback may remain. `updateIgnore()` is the equivalent barrier for excluded paths: events queued below a newly excluded root cannot be delivered after it resolves. Treat path disappearance while scanning, attaching, or receiving a watcher error as rename/archive churn. Surface permission and resource errors so WorkspaceGit can enter bounded polling.
-
-Linux topology repair is trailing-debounced and scoped to the renamed path. A file rename needs one classification stat; a new or moved directory scans only its subtree. Full-tree scans are reserved for startup and ignore-set replacement. The initial Linux scan conservatively emits existing files discovered before their directory watcher was installed; WorkspaceGit batches these into one refresh. Benchmark this startup cost with pre-populated trees.
-
-Windows and macOS use one native recursive watcher plus an ignored-pruned, directory-indexed inventory. Native events deliver immediately. Named events trigger serialized shallow scans of their parent directories; known directory events also reconcile that subtree. This recovers concrete create and delete paths omitted by coalescing without walking the whole root for each edit. Classification is admission-controlled to 32 concurrent `fs.stat` calls, since `fs.stat` runs on the libuv threadpool the whole daemon shares. Startup and exclusion changes use an awaited full inventory barrier. Activity arms a full safety audit 30 seconds after it settles, with a 30-second minimum interval and a five-minute starvation bound; pathless native events also trigger an immediate shallow root scan. Observation fails into polling rather than retaining more than 250,000 file and directory entries per root. A repository that large is also expensive to poll, so degraded polling doubles its gap from 5 seconds to a 60-second ceiling while the workspace snapshot comes back unchanged, and resets to 5 seconds on the first change. Explicit reads still force a refresh; the ceiling only bounds how long an edit made outside Paseo stays undiscovered.
-
-Read aggregate health from the owning observer service. Runtime metrics include active observations, native handles, tracked native files, pending events and immediate reconciliation work, scoped and full reconciliation activity and latency, and failure counts. `nativeTrackedFileCount` and other per-file counters are native-backend diagnostics only — the Linux backend keeps no per-file inventory and reports zero — so a cross-platform assertion belongs on delivered events, not those counters. Delayed safety audits do not count as pending work. Closing the service releases every subscription and clears its diagnostics. Do not add path lists, watcher handles, or platform-specific controls to this interface.
-
-Git owns Git-ignore evaluation. The observer accepts absolute excluded roots and applies updates without replacing the observation or exposing its watcher topology. This keeps tracked files inside otherwise ignored directories observable and keeps Git policy out of the filesystem module.
-
-Workspace Git verifies each repository metadata subscription with a one-shot canary inside the Git directory. If the event does not round-trip through the subscription callback, treat the watcher as unavailable and enter degraded polling. Refresh working-tree Git-ignore exclusions from ignore-file events, newly observed directories, and watcher recovery, never from a healthy-watcher timer. `git ls-files` reports an ignored directory only once it exists, so new directory topology is a trigger in its own right; the refresh is edge-triggered per directory and debounced so a dependency install collapses into a couple of Git runs.
-
-The real-filesystem contracts and daemon auto-archive lifecycle run in the normal server test suite. Use the scripts only for manual performance and soak work: `npm run measure:file-observer --workspace=@getpaseo/server` measures burst and sustained-create behavior, and `npm run repro:file-observer-teardown --workspace=@getpaseo/server` runs the teardown soak.

-`KeyboardTranslateView` owns visual keyboard motion inside `@/keyboard/shift`. Android uses the
-controller's Reanimated signal. iOS uses its native-driver `Animated.event`
-signal because the stock iOS Reanimated value changes at move start, while

-animation. Keep this platform choice inside the keyboard module's private platform-specific translate files.

+   to the popover wrapper.
 
-`ComposerDock` always keeps the surface at full height and wraps it in
-`KeyboardTranslateView`. The panel root clips it at the header edge, so rows
-slide under the header on open and out from under it on close. Do not swap the
-dock to keyboard padding at rest. Changing its height creates either a blank
-band or a paused transition when the inverted list updates its viewport.
+When `shift` equals `openShift`, the translate is 0 and the popover sits at
+the measured position. When the keyboard moves afterward, the delta translates
+the popover by exactly the amount the composer translates. They move in
+lockstep, no re-measurement needed.
 
-Do not animate a layout prop through the keyboard transition. On Android
-Fabric, each animated layout update clones the shadow tree and runs Yoga over
-the dock subtree. This measured about 10 ms per frame on the emulator and the
-mounted layouts arrived in bursts every 2–4 frames. A transform does not dirty
-layout. Preserve the translated dock's history scroll range with a far-end
-content inset on the inverted stream list. Update that inset only when keyboard
-motion settles; never drive it per frame.
-
-The translated dock's height is not the composer's available height. Bound the
-composer against the stationary space below the header inside
-`composer/dock`, including its controls and attachments. Reserve the
-keyboard destination at move start on the UI thread. Waiting for a settled JS
-update lets a long draft disappear behind the header during opening. This is a
-boundary-time layout change, not an animated layout prop. Keep the input's
-native intrinsic sizing and internal scrolling. Keep the editing input's
-`defaultValue` current on every edit: Fabric re-measures the Android input from
-the JS text whenever its frame changed, so a stale prop inflates or collapses
-the input (see `packages/app/src/components/ui/text-input/text-input.native.tsx`).
-
-Closing the keyboard moves the composer; it does not enlarge its capacity. The
-viewport keeps the last keyboard reservation until the next opening replaces
-it, so a capped draft keeps one height through every keyboard transition
-instead of expanding on close and shrinking again on open.
-
-Keep setup fields out of the composer's shrink chain. New workspace supplies its
-setup fields as the first dock child so they move up under the header as the draft
-grows. Putting the fields and composer in one bounded, shrinkable column made

-shrinking the setup scroll view. The form must not take editing space from the
-composer.

-Move the stream and composer together through `ComposerDock`. Do not translate
-them independently.
-
-`KeyboardShiftProvider` owns the normalized shift used for settled insets and
-portal geometry, plus the `isMoving` worklet value. It reconciles native

-# Adding a Git Forge to Paseo
-
-Paseo's forge layer is a registry/manifest system. A forge is a runtime concern:
-shared protocol messages carry neutral/open facts, the server adapter owns
-behavior, and the app owns bundled presentation/runtime interpretation.
-
-The maintainer litmus test is the rule of thumb:
-
-> Adding a new forge means adding files in a new directory/module that implement
-> an interface, plus one entry in the centralized registry/manifest for that
-> package.
-
-## The Three Registrations
-
-For forge `acme`, the expected end state is:
-
-1. **Protocol manifest** - optional, only when the forge should be presented by
-   shared manifest data. Add one `ForgeDefinition` to
-   `packages/protocol/src/forge-manifest.ts`.
-
-2. **Server adapter** - add `packages/server/src/services/acme-service.ts`
-   implementing `ForgeService`, any adapter-owned fact types/guards/constants
-   beside it, and one `defaultForgeRegistry` entry in
-   `packages/server/src/services/forge-registry.ts`.
-
-3. **App modules** - a forge splits into a pure logic half and a view half so
-   logic consumers (URL builders, merge-capability, native checks, and the
-   Node-based e2e harness) never pull the client rendering stack:
-   - `packages/app/src/git/forges/acme.ts` - logic: `id`, optional `urlGrammar`
-     (source links and pasted issue/change-request reference paths), optional
-     `facts` (schema, merge-capability, native-check fallbacks). No
-     React/React-Native imports. Register in `CLIENT_FORGE_LOGIC_MODULES` in
-     `packages/app/src/git/forges/index.ts`.
-   - `packages/app/src/git/forges/acme.view.tsx` - view: `icon` (SVG component
-     under `packages/app/src/components/icons/`), optional `brandColor`, optional
-     `paneContributions`. Register in `CLIENT_FORGE_VIEW_MODULES` in
-     `packages/app/src/git/forges/view.ts`.
-
-There should be no protocol typed-union arm, no central app icon/color/url/facts
-map, and no central server union of known forge facts.
-
-## Protocol
-
-`forgeSpecific` on PR status is an open envelope:
-
-```ts
-z.object({ forge: z.string() }).passthrough();
-```
-
-The `forgeSpecific.forge` field is a **facts-family tag**, not the workspace
-brand id. Gitea, Forgejo, and Codeberg can all emit `forgeSpecific.forge ===
-"gitea"` when they share the same facts shape, while top-level `status.forge`
-keeps the brand id (`"gitea"`, `"forgejo"`, `"codeberg"`).
-
-Protocol does not validate per-forge fact fields. Consumers that understand a
-facts family validate at runtime with their own schema/guard. Unknown or
-schema-mismatched facts render neutrally instead of failing the whole message
-parse. This is the version-skew win: an old client can receive facts from a
-newer forge and still show the PR/MR in a neutral state.
-
-Check results keep a stable normalized `status` for aggregation and an optional
-open `traits: string[]` for composable forge-neutral refinements such as
-`manual`, `action_required`, and `warning`. Consumers ignore unknown traits and
-fall back to `status`; `rawStatus` preserves provider-native detail. Do not add
-provider vocabulary to the normalized status union. Producers and the
-presentation layer share the trait constants in
-`packages/protocol/src/check-traits.ts` — use those instead of string literals
-so classification and emission cannot drift apart.
-
-Shipped GitHub compatibility stays separate:
-
-- The forge compatibility layer first shipped in `v0.2.0-beta.1`. Its initial
-  six-month cleanup target is `2027-01-17`, after supported client and daemon
-  floors reach stable `v0.2.0`.
-- `status.github` remains accepted for released peers.
-- The server keeps the `COMPAT(forgeSpecific)` mirror that copies GitHub facts
-  into `status.github` for older clients.
-- Do not add a compatibility shim unless a released peer (<= 0.1.102) can
-  actually produce the state.
-
-## Server
-
-The server-wide status type only promises:
-
-```ts
-type ForgeSpecificStatusFacts = { forge: string } & Record<string, unknown>;
-```
-
-Adapter-owned files define the typed shapes and guards, for example
-`github-facts.ts`, `gitlab-facts.ts`, and `gitea-facts.ts`. The adapter can keep
-strong internal types for construction and command guards, but shared server
-code must not grow a central list of forge fact arms.
-
-Register the adapter in `defaultForgeRegistry` with:
-
-- `createService`
-- `matchesHost` from manifest `cloudHosts`
-- `probeHost` when self-hosted/Enterprise detection is supported
-
-Current change-request lookup uses two identities deliberately:
-
-- An open PR/MR belongs to the checkout when its head branch and head repository
-  match. Its remote head SHA may differ because the checkout can be ahead,
-  behind, or contain commits that have not been pushed yet.
-- A merged or closed PR/MR belongs to the checkout only when its recorded head
-  SHA exactly matches the checkout's current `HEAD`. Branch names are reusable;
-  selecting the newest terminal request by branch alone can silently attach an
-  old promotion or feature request to new work.
-
-Thread the checkout head SHA through adapter cache and poll identities as well
-as the lookup itself. Otherwise a commit made on the same branch can inherit the
-previous commit's cached terminal status until the cache expires.
-
-Cloud hosts in the manifest are a bounded public-host list, not a self-host
-allowlist. Self-hosted detection is a trust gate: Paseo only talks to a forge
-host that is either a known cloud host or one the CLI is already authenticated
-to. Adapter probes must not make anonymous HTTP requests to remote-derived
-hosts, and adapters must not route credentials to an unauthenticated host.
-
-## App
-
-Each app forge splits into two modules so pure logic never imports the client
-rendering stack:
-
-`acme.ts` exports a `ClientForgeLogicModule`:
-
-- `id`
-- optional `urlGrammar` (including `referencePaths` for composer auto-attachment)
-- optional `facts` registration (schema, merge-capability, native-check fallbacks)
-
-`acme.view.tsx` exports a `ClientForgeViewModule`:
-
-- `id`
-- `icon`
-- `brandColor` (`null` for neutral; GitHub intentionally uses `null`)
-- optional `paneContributions`
-
-Two registries live under `packages/app/src/git/forges/`:
-`CLIENT_FORGE_LOGIC_MODULES` (`index.ts`) drives URL grammar, merge-capability
-derivation, and native fallback checks; `CLIENT_FORGE_VIEW_MODULES` (`view.ts`)
-drives icon/color lookup and PR-pane contributions. Logic consumers must import
-the logic registry only — importing the view registry (or a `.view.tsx` module)
-from a logic path pulls react-native and breaks the Node-based e2e harness.
-
-Per-forge brand colors live on the module, not in `styles/theme.ts`. Use the
-Unistyles-safe pattern from `docs/unistyles.md`: no `useUnistyles()`. Brand icon
-call sites use `withUnistyles` and a `uniProps` mapping such as:
-
-```ts
-(theme) => ({ color: theme.colorScheme === "light" ? colors.light : colors.dark });
-```
-
-Facts modules use one source of truth: a Zod schema. Helpers like
-`defineForgeFacts`, `defineNativeFallbackCheck`, and `definePaneContribution`
-derive guards from `schema.safeParse` and re-parse before invoking typed
-derivers/renderers. That keeps typed derivers away from the open wire envelope.
-
-## Checklist
-
-To add `acme`:
-
-1. Add `acme` to `FORGE_DEFINITIONS` if the shared manifest should know its
-   label, nouns, icon kind, sign-in CLI, or cloud hosts.
-2. Add `acme-service.ts` implementing `ForgeService`.
-3. Add `acme-facts.ts` beside the adapter if it reports native facts.
-4. Add one `defaultForgeRegistry` entry.
-5. Add `packages/app/src/git/forges/acme.ts` (logic) and
-   `packages/app/src/git/forges/acme.view.tsx` (view).
-6. Add one `CLIENT_FORGE_LOGIC_MODULES` entry (`index.ts`) and one
-   `CLIENT_FORGE_VIEW_MODULES` entry (`view.ts`).
-7. Add/update the icon component only if the client bundle should show a brand
-   mark.
-8. If the forge's CI/data model does not fit an existing required
-   `ForgeService` field, widen the shared interface (plus the protocol schema
-   and its guards) instead of faking a value — e.g. Gitea Actions runs carry no
-   check-run id, so `GetCheckDetailsOptions.checkRunId` became optional with
-   `workflowRunId` as the alternative address. Expect this step to touch
-   `forge-service.ts`, `messages.ts`, and the call-site guards of the other
-   adapters. Widening a shared field is not forge-local: it also affects the
-   already-shipped forges/GitHub call sites and the capability-gated RPC (e.g.
-   `forgeCheckDetails`), so verify every consumer rather than assuming the change
-   only reaches the new adapter.
-9. Run targeted tests: manifest/registry/resolver, the adapter test, protocol
-   checkout PR schema, app forge URL/presentation tests, app merge capability,
-   and any PR-pane native data tests touched.
-
-Run `npm run typecheck` after each implementation slice. If protocol or client
-declarations are stale, run `npm run build:client`; if server/CLI declarations
-are stale, run `npm run build:server`.

-## Gotchas
-
-- GitHub is a normal registry entry plus released compatibility shims. Keep all
-  real shims tagged with `COMPAT(name)`.
-- Gitea-family facts use `forgeSpecific.forge === "gitea"` even when the
-  top-level brand is Forgejo or Codeberg.
-- Gitea's legacy Actions task endpoint cannot filter by commit, may enforce a
-  page size below the requested limit, and omits rerun-attempt numbers. Walk a
-  bounded number of pages using `total_count` and filter locally. Preserve
-  ambiguous same-run tasks: display names are not stable job identities, so
-  name-based deduplication can hide a real failure.
-- A blocked Gitea Actions task is not necessarily manual: only add the
-  `action_required` trait when the matching run metadata reports
-  `need_approval`.
-- Brand icons are bundled React components, so they cannot come from protocol
-  manifest data.
-- Source URL grammars are app-side because blob/tree path syntax is
-  forge-specific. If a forge has no grammar, omit the "Open on ..." source link
-  rather than constructing a wrong URL.
-- Pasted issue/change-request URL recognition is also app-side and registry
-  driven. Put the forge's route infixes in `urlGrammar.referencePaths`; the
-  neutral extractor matches the pasted host and full repository path against
-  the current remote before it invokes cwd-routed forge search. Do not add a
-  central forge switch or guess a self-hosted Gitea-family brand from URL shape.
-- GitLab pipeline status constants belong to the GitLab adapter/client module,
-  not protocol.
-- GitLab `manual` jobs need `allow_failure` to distinguish optional gray jobs
-  (`manual`) from blocking jobs (`manual` plus `action_required`). A failed
-  allowed-failure job carries the `warning` trait, and `canceling` remains active
-  until GitLab reports a terminal status.
-- GitHub PR polling owns one account-wide GraphQL budget. Coordinate retained
-  targets per host, batch their reads, and stop until GitHub's reset time when
-  the reserve is exhausted. Never add a per-target GitHub request to the poll
-  path. Resolve fork PRs through their parent repository without abandoning the
-  shared batch.

-# 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/src/schedules/aggregated-schedules.ts` / `hooks/use-schedules.ts` — load-state gating
-- `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

-## 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.
-- Every text field consumes `EditingTextInput`, directly or through a UI
-  wrapper. The editing surface owns in-progress text; React observes committed
-  edits through `onChangeText`, and programmatic mutations use the input's
-  `replaceText` command. Its props omit `value` and `defaultValue`, web IME
-  candidates stay unpublished until composition commits, and lint rejects raw
-  React Native `TextInput` imports outside the primitive.
-- 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.
-
-## Settings rows
-
-Use the named components from `@/components/settings` for settings cards and controls.
-`SettingsCard` owns row separators; `SettingsRow` accepts custom content. Heading-only screens
-can import `SettingsGroup` and `SettingsSection` directly from their modules in
-`@/components/settings/headings/`.
-The plugin UI entry exposes the same components; keep them independent of storage and routing.
-
-## 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).

 Authoritative terminology. UI label wins. Don't invent synonyms; use what's here.
 
-- **Project** — A stable, exact selected-root record. Its host-local `projectId` is an opaque `prj_<16 hex>` value. Its persisted `projectKey` is an opaque equivalence key that may group the logical project across hosts. A normalized Git remote is the current key producer, but consumers must not parse or rederive it. Git facts can update mutable kind and grouping metadata but never the ID, root, or default display name. UI: "Project" / "Add project". Forbidden: "Repo", "Repository" as UI label.
-- **Workspace** — One concrete `cwd` on one daemon, with git state; belongs to exactly one project. Its `id` is opaque workspace identity; its `cwd` is the filesystem directory. UI: "Workspace". Code: `WorkspaceDescriptorPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2178`). Don't confuse with: Branch (one branch can back many workspaces via worktrees). Forbidden: "Folder", "Directory" as UI label.
-- **Archive workspace** — Removes one workspace from active use and archives everything it owns. UI, CLI, and MCP always say "Archive workspace", regardless of backing. The daemon leaves ordinary directories intact and removes a Paseo-owned worktree only when no active workspace still references it.
-- **Workspace kind** — `"directory" | "local_checkout" | "worktree"`. The git-derived, persisted property of a workspace, used across its lifetime (archive safety, sidebar, grouping). Derived from the cwd's git reality by `deriveWorkspaceKind` in `workspace-registry-model.ts`, not stored from a user choice. Don't confuse with **Isolation** (the create-time intent).
-- **Isolation** — Create-time choice for a new workspace: reuse the existing checkout (**Local**) or cut a dedicated git worktree (**New worktree**). A transient setup input, also remembered as a create-form preference; it is not a workspace property. UI: "Isolation" control on the New Workspace screen. Code: `isolation` (`"local" | "worktree"`), `useWorkspaceIsolation` (`packages/app/src/screens/new-workspace-screen.tsx`); persisted as `FormPreferences.isolation` (`packages/app/src/create-agent-preferences/preferences.ts`). Distinct from **Workspace kind**, which is the git-derived property the intent produces (Local → `local_checkout` or `directory` by git-ness; New worktree → `worktree`). On the wire it is the create request's `source.kind` (`directory | worktree`, `packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:1693`).
-- **Agent** — See **Agent session**. UI still says "Agent" / "New Agent" in places, but moving toward **Agent session** as the canonical term. Code: `AgentSnapshotPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:608`). Forbidden: "Task", "Job", "Run".
+- **Project** — Logical grouping of workspaces sharing a git remote (or main repo root). UI: "Project" / "Add project". Code: `ProjectSummary` (`packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:22`), `projectKey` (`packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:16`). Forbidden: "Repo", "Repository" as UI label.
+- **Workspace** — One concrete `cwd` on one daemon, with git state; belongs to exactly one project. UI: "Workspace". Code: `WorkspaceDescriptorPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2178`). Don't confuse with: Branch (one branch can back many workspaces via worktrees). Forbidden: "Folder", "Directory" as UI label.
+- **Workspace kind** — `"directory" | "local_checkout" | "worktree"`. Code: `PersistedWorkspaceKind` (`packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:8`).
+- **Agent** — One AI coding agent run on a daemon (one provider, one model, one cwd, one timeline). UI: "Agent" / "New Agent". Code: `AgentSnapshotPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:608`). Forbidden: "Task", "Job", "Run".
 - **Daemon** — Local Paseo server process; identified by `serverId`. UI: "Daemon" (system contexts only). Code: `serverId` in `ServerInfoStatusPayloadSchema` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:1936`), `DaemonClient` (`packages/client/src/daemon-client.ts`).
 - **Host** — Client-side connection profile pointing at a daemon; bundles one or more `HostConnection`s. UI: "Host" / "Add host" / "Switch host". Code: `HostProfile` (`packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37`). Forbidden: "Connection" (means `HostConnection`, not host).
-- **Host badge** — The item on a sidebar workspace row's meta row naming which host that workspace lives on. Three things gate it, and they compose as a lattice rather than competing: the sidebar must span more than one host (automatic), **Show → Host** in the sidebar's display preferences must be on (global, all hosts at once), and then that host's own display mode decides _how_ it draws — **Name** / **Icon only** / **Hidden**. Name, color, and display mode are per-host, per-device, and live client-side on `HostProfile.appearance`; nothing about it reaches the daemon. Never add a fourth way to hide it. UI: the "Appearance" group on a host's settings page, and the "Show" submenu in the sidebar's display preferences. Code: `selectHostBadges` (`packages/app/src/hosts/appearance.ts`) takes the first two as its `enabled` input; `WorkspaceMetaRow` (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar/workspace-meta-row/index.tsx`) draws it. Don't confuse with **Status pill**, which reports state rather than identity.
 - **Project host entry** — One row in a project for a single (project, daemon) pair, aggregating that daemon's workspaces in the project. Internal. Code: `ProjectHostEntry` (`packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:11`). Don't introduce "Checkout" as a synonym.
-- **Placement** — One workspace's stable foreign-key relationship to its project plus its git checkout snapshot. Internal. An explicit creation `projectId` is authoritative when active.
+- **Placement** — One workspace's relationship to its project (projectKey, projectName, git checkout snapshot). Internal. Code: `ProjectPlacementPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2113`).
 - **Branch** — Plain git branch. UI: "Switch branch". Code: `currentBranch` in `WorkspaceGitRuntimePayloadSchema` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2136`); `BranchSwitcher` (`packages/app/src/components/branch-switcher.tsx`).
-- **Forge** — Git hosting service behind Paseo's change-request features: GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo, or a future registered adapter. Code: `ForgeService`, `forge-registry`, `forge-resolver`. Use `forge` for internal abstraction and registry IDs; use concrete forge names only when a behavior or RPC is forge-specific.
-- **Change request** — Forge-neutral term for a proposed branch-to-branch code change. UI normally renders the forge noun instead: GitHub/Gitea/Forgejo "PR", GitLab "MR". Code: `forge_change_request` attachments, `checkoutSource: { kind: "change_request" }`, and PR/MR status payloads.
-- **MR** — GitLab merge request. UI label for GitLab change requests only; do not use MR for GitHub/Gitea/Forgejo.
-- **Worktree** — Paseo-managed git worktree (`~/.paseo/worktrees/{name}`); also a `workspaceKind` value. User-facing creation treats it as the `worktree` workspace isolation choice. Code and `paseo.json` retain worktree terminology for git lifecycle implementation. Forbidden: "Checkout" as a product synonym.
-- **Repository / Remote** — Internal Git observations. They may produce mutable kind, branch, and project-grouping metadata but never the host-local project ID, root, display name, or workspace membership. No UI label.
-- **Sidebar items** — The configurable entries of the app sidebar, in two sections. Header: the rows at the head of the sidebar — New workspace, History, Search, Schedules, and plugin header items. Footer: the full-width rows between Add project and the footer icon row — Usage and plugin footer items. Add project and the icon row (Hosts, Help and support, Settings) are fixed and are not sidebar items. A plugin item may render several rows, such as one per bot; it is still one item that moves and hides as a block. Each section's order and visibility is one per-device preference (`AppSettings.sidebarNavItems`, `AppSettings.sidebarFooterItems`); every item may be off. UI: the Header and Footer cards on the Sidebar settings page. Code: `packages/app/src/sidebar-nav/model.ts` resolves a section, and the sidebar (`components/sidebar/sidebar-nav-rows.tsx`, the footer in `components/left-sidebar.tsx`) and the settings page (`screens/settings/sidebar/sidebar-nav-section.tsx`) read it through `useSidebarNavItems(section)`. Never hardcode one of these entries or add a second place that decides which ones show. Don't confuse with **Explorer sidebar**.
-- **Explorer sidebar** — The dedicated navigation dock containing the Files and Changes trees. UI: "Explorer sidebar". Code: `packages/app/src/workspace-tabs/explorer-sidebar.ts`; persisted pane identifiers retain the `explorer` spelling. See [explorer-sidebar.md](explorer-sidebar.md).
-- **Side pane** — An ordinary right-side workspace pane used for content opened beside the user's work. It closes and participates in workspace splits like every other main-host pane. See [explorer-sidebar.md](explorer-sidebar.md#side-pane). Forbidden: "Side panel".
-- **Directory-backed surface** — A right-sidebar surface whose content is determined by the workspace's `cwd`, so two workspaces on the same directory see identical content: git diff/status, forge change-request info, file preview/explorer contents. Keyed by `(serverId, cwd)`, never `workspaceId`. See [architecture.md](architecture.md#right-sidebar-boundary-directory-backed-vs-workspace-owned).
-- **Workspace-owned state** — Per-workspace state that never leaks to a same-`cwd` sibling: tabs, agents, terminals, panes, title, plus review drafts, diff-mode overrides, composer attachments, and file-explorer open/expand state. Keyed by `workspaceId` (`cwd` only as a fallback for old payloads). See [architecture.md](architecture.md#right-sidebar-boundary-directory-backed-vs-workspace-owned).
-- **Workspace status bucket** — Aggregate activity signal for a workspace row. Same-`cwd` workspaces intentionally share agent and terminal status buckets, while tab, agent, and terminal visibility remains scoped by `workspaceId`.
-- **Agent session** — One running instance of an agent inside a workspace (one provider, one model, one cwd, one timeline). The conceptual unit; in the UI this opens as a tab. Moving toward this as the canonical term over "Agent". Code: `AgentSnapshotPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:608`).
-- **Session** — Two senses: (a) per-client connection to a daemon, internal; (b) user-facing agent session, see **Agent session**. Code: `Session` (`packages/server/src/server/session.ts`) for (a). Don't confuse with: provider-side agent session log.
-- **Profile** — Internal name for the persisted shape of a host. Code: `HostProfile` (`packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37`). Never user-facing. Three other things are called "profile" in this codebase, so always qualify: **Agent profile**, **Terminal profile**, and the provider aliases in [custom-providers.md](custom-providers.md). Bare "profile" is forbidden in UI copy.
-- **Agent profile** — A named launch bundle: provider, model, mode, thinking option, feature values, and free-text notes. Applying one writes those values into the **Agent controls** and is then forgotten — there is no selected profile, no default profile, and no drift tracking. The notes are written for orchestrating agents and are what the `list_profiles` MCP tool surfaces. Stored host-wide in daemon config as `agentProfiles`. UI: "Agent profiles". Code: `AgentProfile` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:161`). Carries no system prompt, because a per-agent system prompt can only be set at creation. Forbidden: "Favourite", which this replaced.
-- **Terminal profile** — A named shell command a terminal can launch. Stored host-wide in daemon config as `terminalProfiles`. UI: "Terminal profiles". Code: `TerminalProfile` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:135`), `resolveTerminalProfiles` (`packages/protocol/src/terminal-profiles.ts`). Also selectable as a New Workspace launch target, where the alternative is the chat agent.
-- **Provider** — Agent backend (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi, Oh My Pi). UI: "Provider". Code: `ProviderSnapshotEntry` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:198`).
-- **Usage source** — Plugin registration that discovers accounts and fetches plan usage. Code: `UsageSourceRegistration` (`packages/plugin/src/server/usage.ts`).
-- **Report ID** — Stable daemon-composed identity for one source account: `<sourceId>:<accountKey>`. The source owns the account key; clients treat the whole ID as opaque. Code: `UsageReportEntry.id` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts`).
-- **Usage report** — A source's normalized usage for one account, including status and optional windows, balances, and details. Its entry carries the Report ID, account label, and fetch time. Each report renders as one card in the Usage modal, in host Settings, and in an agent's context window details (a hover card on desktop web, a tooltip on native wide screens, a sheet on compact ones), which show only the account that agent runs under, without pins. The hover card and the sheet have Refresh; the native tooltip takes no presses. Code: `UsageReport` (`packages/plugin/src/server/usage.ts`), `UsageCard` (`packages/app/src/usage/card.tsx`), `AgentUsage` (`packages/app/src/usage/agent-usage.tsx`).
-- **Usage (sidebar item)** — The sidebar footer item showing each pinned window's source icon and percent, hidden while no pinned window has data (the footer's Usage icon remains available); both entry points open the Usage modal over the current screen: a dialog on wide layouts, a bottom sheet on compact ones. Usage has no route of its own. Off until the user turns on **Summary in sidebar** (Usage Settings) or the Usage row in Settings > Sidebar; window rows pin only while it is on, and saved pins come back when it is turned on again. A pin is `{ sourceId, windowId }` and shows once per account of that source. Pins and the used/remaining choice are one per-device preference (`AppSettings.usage`) that every usage surface follows. It reads the active workspace's host, else the first connected host with usage sources. Code: `packages/app/src/usage/sidebar-item.tsx`, `usage/usage-modal.tsx`, `usage/pinned.ts`, `usage/preferences.ts`.
+- **Worktree** — Paseo-managed git worktree (`~/.paseo/worktrees/{name}`); also a `workspaceKind` value. UI: CLI + `paseo.json` keys (`worktree.setup`, `worktree.teardown`) only. Code: `ProjectCheckoutLiteGitPaseoPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2092`); CLI `paseo worktree` (`packages/cli/src/commands/worktree/index.ts:8`). Forbidden: "Checkout" as a synonym.
+- **Repository / Remote** — Internal git inputs (`remoteUrl`, `mainRepoRoot`) used to derive `projectKey`. No UI label.
+- **Session** — Per-client connection to a daemon. Internal. Code: `Session` (`packages/server/src/server/session.ts`). Don't confuse with: provider-side agent session log.
+- **Profile** — Internal name for the persisted shape of a host. Code: `HostProfile` (`packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37`). Never user-facing.
+- **Provider** — Agent backend (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi). UI: "Provider". Code: `ProviderSnapshotEntry` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:198`).
 - **Model** — A specific LLM offered by a provider. UI: "Model" / "Select model". Code: `AgentModelDefinition` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:187`).
-- **Tab** — UI surface representing one session inside a workspace. Not a conceptual unit; use **Agent session** when talking about the model. Code: `WorkspaceTabDescriptor` (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-tabs-types.ts`).
 - **Terminal** — Workspace-scoped PTY shell streamed over the binary mux channel. UI: "Terminal". Code: `TerminalStreamFrame` (`packages/protocol/src/terminal-stream-protocol.ts`).
-- **Workspace script** — A named command a workspace can run, declared in `paseo.json`. Two types: `service` and `script` (a command that runs and finishes). UI: "Scripts" for the panel and the menu, both of which list either type. Code: `WorkspaceScriptPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:3126`). Don't confuse with **Service**, which is one of the two types rather than a synonym for the pair.
-- **Service** — A workspace script of type `service`: long-running, may bind a port, and carries `health` of `healthy | unhealthy | null` once the daemon has observed it. The only type a sidebar workspace row reports, because a running plain script says nothing about whether the workspace is up; the row names the service and turns danger when its health fails, and where several run the failing one takes the row's single slot. UI: "Services" in the sidebar's display preferences (**Show → Services**). Code: `selectWorkspaceServiceSummary` (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar/workspace-meta-row/service-summary.ts`), `WorkspaceScriptHealthSchema` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:3124`). Forbidden: "Service" as a label for the Scripts panel, which lists both types.
-- **Schedule** — Cron-style trigger that creates new agents. UI: CLI/MCP (`paseo schedule`, `create_schedule`). Don't confuse with: Heartbeat (cron prompt back into the same agent).
-- **Heartbeat** — Ephemeral cron prompt sent back into the same agent/conversation. Agent surfaces expose create, update cron, and delete only. Use for reminders and babysitting where status should return inline.
+- **Schedule** — Cron-style trigger that creates remote agents. UI: CLI only (`paseo schedule`). Code: `ScheduleCreateRequest` (re-exported from `packages/protocol/src/messages.ts`). Don't confuse with: Loop (iterative re-execution of one agent).
 - **Mode** — Provider-specific operational mode (plan, default, full-access, …). UI: icon-only. Code: `modeId` in `AgentSessionConfig` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:257`).
-- **Attachment** — External or local context bound to an agent prompt: forge issue/change request, review context, uploaded file, text, or image. UI: "Attach issue or PR/MR". Code: `AgentAttachment` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:782`).
+- **Attachment** — GitHub PR or Issue bound to an agent prompt. UI: "Attach issue or PR". Code: `AgentAttachment` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:782`).
 - **Composer** — The whole prompt surface for sending work to an agent. Code: `Composer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`). Don't call this "message input" except for the text-entry subcomponent.
 - **Composer input** — The text-entry surface inside the composer. Code: `MessageInput` (`packages/app/src/composer/input/input.tsx`).
 - **Composer toolbar** — The bottom control row inside the composer input. Contains agent controls, attachment button, voice controls, and stop/send controls. Code: `leftContent`, `beforeVoiceContent`, and `rightContent` slots in `MessageInput` (`packages/app/src/composer/input/input.tsx`). Forbidden: "Status bar".
 - **Agent controls** — Provider, model, mode, thinking, and provider-feature controls for an agent or draft agent. Code: `AgentControls` / `DraftAgentControls` (`packages/app/src/composer/agent-controls/index.tsx`). Forbidden: "Agent status bar".
 - **Composer footer** — Optional area rendered below the composer input but still inside the keyboard-shifted composer layout. Code: `Composer.footer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`).
-- **Composer track** — A contextual lane at the foot of a pane, by the composer input. Specific tracks use the `<thing> track` form: **Queue track**, **Subagents track**, **Tasks track**. The subagents and tasks tracks are pills floating over the transcript, each opening a panel with its rows; the queue track is a lane inside the composer itself. Code: queue track inside `Composer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`), pill and panel frame in `packages/app/src/composer/tracks.tsx`, `SubagentsTrack` (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`), `AgentTaskList` (`packages/app/src/composer/task-list/index.tsx`).
-- **Steer** — A follow-up admitted into an agent's already-running turn instead of interrupting it. Interrupting the turn discards steers the provider has not read yet; there is no take-back short of that, and no provider offers one. The stop button and Escape both interrupt. A steer the provider never read keeps its transcript row, matching Codex. Sending while the agent waits on a permission denies that request first, so the message reaches the same turn instead of stalling behind it. UI: "Send and steer". Code: `steerActiveTurn` (`packages/server/src/server/agent/agent-sdk-types.ts`). Don't confuse with **Queue track**, which holds messages client-side until the turn ends and never enters the running turn. Forbidden: "Delivery", "Queued prompt".
-- **Subagent** — User-facing term for an agent session related to a parent agent session. Use **subagents** in UI copy and docs. Internal daemon/provider plumbing may say "child agent" or `child_session`, especially for provider-managed imports; do not surface "child agent" as a product term.
+- **Composer track** — A contextual lane above the composer input. Specific tracks use the `<thing> track` form: **Queue track**, **Subagents track**. Code: queue track inside `Composer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`), `SubagentsTrack` (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`).
 - **Attachment tray** — The selected-attachments row inside the composer input, above the text input. Code: `renderAttachmentTray` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`). Forbidden: "Attachment bar".
-- **Fork** — Starting a NEW agent session seeded with a copy of another session's curated chat history. The history rides along as a `chat_history` composer attachment on a draft; the fork does **not** resume or branch the provider-side session, and the source session keeps running untouched. Two targets, one surface, one RPC (`agent.fork_context`, gated on the `agentForkContext` host feature). UI: the fork menu lives in the assistant turn footer and offers "Fork in a new tab" / "Fork in a new workspace". On a **completed** turn it sits beside the copy button and pins a boundary to that turn, so the fork stops where the turn ended. On the **in-flight** turn it sits beside the progress loader and elapsed timer, and omits the boundary entirely — `selectForkContextRows` projects the whole timeline when no boundary is given, so the fork captures everything **up to now**, including the response still streaming. That omission is what makes mid-run forking work; pinning a boundary there would silently drop the live response. Forbidden on provider-subagent (read-only) panes. Code: `useForkAgent` (`packages/app/src/hooks/use-fork-agent.ts`), `selectForkContextRows` (`packages/server/src/server/agent/activity-curator.ts`). Don't confuse with: git fork (unrelated; Paseo has no such concept), **Worktree** (filesystem isolation, not history copying).
 - **Conflict** — Two distinct senses; do NOT use the bare word in UI copy without qualifying which: (a) **stale-write conflict** on `paseo.json` ("Config changed on disk", code `stale_project_config`, `packages/app/src/screens/project-settings-screen.tsx:593`); (b) **git merge conflict** (no current UI string).
-- **Product discussion** — Where non-bug product talk goes: [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/discussions) and `#product` in Discord. Covers workflows, features, and product direction. The container term; the ask inside it is always a **workflow** — what you're doing, how you do it today, where Paseo gets in the way. Issues are bugs only. Forbidden: "Feature request" as a Paseo surface, label, or invitation; the phrase is only used when answering someone who arrived with it. Don't invent "feature discussion", "idea", or "workflow thread" as synonyms. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md).

-# Paseo Hub relationship
-
-Paseo Hub is an explicit opt-in connection from one Paseo daemon to one Hub. Running a daemon does
-not register it with a Hub. The relationship begins only when a user runs
-`paseo hub connect [url]` from the daemon machine with an explicit API key or matching stored CLI login.
-
-The human CLI login and daemon relationship are separate identities. `paseo hub login [url]` stores a durable organization-scoped CLI credential keyed by normalized Hub origin under `PASEO_HOME`. Interactive login optionally connects the local daemon, then points to the Hub UI for trigger configuration; it does not scaffold or deploy configuration. `paseo hub init` remains the explicit triggers-as-code scaffold: it writes one self-contained organization trigger under `.paseo/triggers/`, validates it through the trigger API, and optionally installs it. `paseo hub deploy` validates and installs every trigger in that directory; passing `--project` keeps deploying the legacy project bundle instead. `paseo hub export [directory]` writes the active organization's current triggers in the same layout, using the active login unless another Hub or API key is selected. Origin resolution uses explicit command input, `PASEO_HUB_URL`, active login, then `https://hub.paseo.sh`. Connect uses exact-origin authority to request a one-time enrollment token, then passes only that token to the daemon. The daemon generates and persists its own relationship credential.
-
-## Connection and authority
-
-The daemon enrolls over HTTP(S), then opens and maintains a direct outbound WebSocket to the Hub.
-The Hub never discovers or acquires the daemon through Paseo's relay. The relay remains an optional
-encrypted path for normal Paseo clients and has no role in Hub enrollment, authentication, dispatch,
-or reconnects.
-
-The daemon persists a relationship ID and private connection credential before enrollment. The
-relationship is independent of its current transport, so a future transport can replace the direct
-WebSocket without pairing again. The current foundation supports one Hub relationship per daemon.
-
-Normal authenticated daemon sessions may manage the daemon's Hub relationship and permissions.
-Hub connections have no daemon permissions by default. Connecting gives Hub machine identity and
-presence but no execution authority. The `hub.execute` permission lets workflows triggered from
-GitHub, Slack, Discord, Linear, and other integrations create workspaces and run agents. Grant it
-during interactive login or later with `paseo hub permissions grant hub.execute`. Relationships
-created before this split migrate their legacy execution scope to `hub.execute`. Hub sessions cannot
-manage their own relationship or permissions.
-
-## Session grants and agent operations
-
-Hub uses the same authenticated, resumable Session protocol as other clients. Its persisted
-`hub.execute` permission authorizes ordinary agent creation, workspace titling, messaging,
-cancellation, archival, agent/workspace observation, timeline subscriptions, and workspace recovery. This authority is
-daemon-wide; it is not limited to agents created by that Hub. Daemon configuration, terminals,
-browser control, and permission management still require their own permissions. See
-[permissions.md](permissions.md).
-
-Creating an agent may create a directory workspace. The same `hub.execute` session can title that
-workspace through `workspace.title.set.request` without `workspace.manage`.
-
-Clients using this contract check `server_info.features.hubAgentRpc` and
-`server_info.features.agentRequestReceipts` once. An older host must be upgraded; do not silently
-fall back to creating a fresh agent when continuation was requested.
-
-Hub owns conversation keys, trigger policy, execution records, and the mapping to workspace/agent
-IDs. None of these routing concepts are part of the generic daemon RPCs. Creation accepts ordinary
-provider configuration, exact MCP tool policy, environment, and workspace/worktree selection.
-Private session configuration is persisted for recovery and is not exposed in agent snapshots.
-Provider controls remain provider-native; see [providers.md](providers.md).
-
-`create_agent_request.idempotencyKey` identifies one creation operation. With a key, omit
-`initialPrompt`, persist the returned agent/workspace identity, then deliver the prompt using
-`send_agent_message_request` with a stable `messageId`. Request IDs correlate individual attempts;
-creation keys and message IDs identify the operation across attempts. A creation key is daemon-wide;
-a message ID is scoped to its agent. Reusing either with different arguments is a conflict.
-`workspace.create.request.idempotencyKey` provides the same creation guarantee for directory and
-worktree workspaces; check `server_info.features.workspaceRequestReceipts` before using it.
-Workspace creation keys and agent creation keys have separate namespaces. The app keeps these keys
-for the lifetime of a draft and reuses the first message ID after failures.
-
-The daemon journals the assigned agent ID before creation. Concurrent retries share one operation,
-and a retry after a lost acknowledgement or restart returns the durable agent without creating a
-workspace or starting a turn. Deleting that agent does not make its old creation key reusable.
-Confirmed message delivery is also journaled, so retrying its message ID does not submit it again.
-An unfinished delivery after restart reports `agent_request_outcome_unknown`: a provider can have
-accepted a prompt before the daemon recorded success, so automatic resubmission could duplicate
-work. Inspect the agent before choosing a new message ID. Receipts contain identity and request
-hashes, never prompts, environment values, or credentials.
-
-Before messaging an archived workspace, call `workspace.recovery.inspect.request`, then
-`workspace.recovery.restore.request` and await success. The native message handler unarchives the
-agent and loads its persisted provider session. `activeTurnBehavior: "steer"` uses the provider's
-native steering behavior, including Paseo's existing behavior when that provider cannot steer.
-Execution completion and arrival-specific output authority remain Hub responsibilities.
-
-The older `hub.execution.*` RPCs remain accepted for existing clients. Their execution ownership
-and create deduplication behavior are unchanged; new continuation work uses the ordinary RPCs.
-
-## Disconnect and revocation
-
-Normal socket loss reconnects the active relationship with bounded exponential backoff and jitter.
-Daemon restart loads the same relationship and credential and reconnects without another enrollment
-ceremony.
-
-Hub authentication rejection or close code `4403` permanently revokes the local relationship. The
-daemon deletes its credential, stops reconnecting, and retains only the relationship ID, Hub origin,
-scopes, and a sanitized reason for status reporting.
-
-`paseo hub disconnect` disables socket reconnect and execution authority before making one bounded
-remote revocation request. The daemon then removes the local relationship whether the request
-succeeds or fails. A failed request returns a warning that server-side revocation may remain pending.
-`--force` skips the remote request. Legacy persisted `disconnecting` records are removed on startup;
-the daemon does not retry revocation in the background.
-
-`paseo hub logout` removes only the active human CLI credential and preserves credentials for other origins. Interactive logout inspects and optionally disconnects a same-origin daemon before deleting the login; a failed requested disconnect preserves the login. JSON and noninteractive logout never prompt or disconnect implicitly.
-
-## Cross-repository compatibility
-
-The consumer implementation lives in Paseo Cloud. Cloud owns its copy of the Hub wire schemas and
-has no Paseo runtime or build dependency. Cross-repository end-to-end verification separately builds
-a Paseo source checkout and exercises the real daemon, CLI, direct WebSocket, Cloud service, and
-Postgres. That compatibility fixture is not a package dependency or fallback implementation.
-Its `hub-e2e` ACP provider accepts only exact tool names on the injected `hub` MCP server. Other
-custom ACP providers remain unsupported for unattended preapproval.

-# I18n
-
-Paseo client UI translations live in `packages/app/src/i18n`.
-
-## Supported Locales
-
-- `en`
-- `ar`
-- `es`
-- `fr`
-- `ja`
-- `ko`
-- `pt-BR`
-- `ru`
-- `zh-CN`
-
-The persisted app language setting is `"system" | "ar" | "en" | "es" | "fr" | "ja" | "ko" | "pt-BR" | "ru" | "zh-CN"`. `"system"` follows the device or browser locale when it maps to a supported locale; unsupported system locales fall back to English. Japanese maps from system locales `ja` and Japanese regional locales. Korean maps from system locales `ko` and Korean regional locales. Brazilian Portuguese maps from system locales `pt-BR` and bare `pt`; other Portuguese regional locales remain unsupported until explicitly added.
-
-## Translation Scope
-
-Translate client-owned UI copy: labels, buttons, empty states, confirmation text, and local status/error wrappers.
-
-Do not translate agent output, daemon output, terminal contents, file paths, provider names, model names, command names, user-authored text, code blocks, logs, or raw protocol/server error text.
-
-## Adding Copy
-
-English source strings live in `packages/app/src/i18n/resources/en.ts`. Each supported locale has a matching resource in `packages/app/src/i18n/resources`.
-
-For migrated screens and components, use `useTranslation()` and pass translated text into UI primitives. Low-level primitives such as `<Button>` do not import translation state unless they own the text they render.
-
-Keep resource keys grouped by product surface, not component mechanics.
-
-Run:
-
-```bash
-npx vitest run packages/app/src/i18n/resources.test.ts --bail=1
-```
-
-The parity test catches missing keys across English and every supported locale resource.
-
-## Forge-Variant Copy
-
-Strings that vary by git forge follow a two-tier rule:
-
-- **Indeclinable tokens** — brand names ("GitHub", "GitLab"), the PR/MR initialism, number prefixes (`#`/`!`) — are interpolated into a single key (`"Refresh git and {{brand}} state"`). These tokens stay latin and uninflected in every supported locale, so one string per locale suffices. The value comes from the forge manifest via `getForgePresentation`.
-- **Sentences containing the full change-request noun** ("pull request" / "merge request" inflects and takes gender/case in translation) use the i18next `context` mechanism: the base key carries the pull-request wording and an `_mr` sibling carries the merge-request wording (`pullRequest` / `pullRequest_mr`). Call sites pass `t(key, { context: getForgePresentation(forge).changeRequestContext })`; an undefined or unknown context falls back to the base key.
-
-Keys scale per vocabulary family (PR vs MR), not per forge: a new forge picks an existing family in its manifest entry and needs zero locale edits.
-
-## Migration Order
-
-Client UI translation is staged so each pass can migrate complete local copy clusters and keep reviews focused.
-
-1. App shell and shared UI chrome: common actions, headers, sheets, command center, and client-owned toast status.
-2. Composer and agent workflow: composer input, agent controls, permission prompts, plan approval, and agent panel wrapper states.
-3. Settings expansion: Appearance, Shortcuts, Integrations, Permissions, Diagnostics, About, Project settings, Host settings, and provider diagnostics.
-4. Workspace and panels: setup/file/browser/terminal wrapper copy, file explorer local states, import-session flows, and remaining local toast/error wrapper text.
-
-Within a migrated surface, do not leave mixed-language neighboring labels when those labels are owned by the client. Move the whole local copy cluster together.

Arabic, French, Russian, and Spanish now have full client-owned UI resource coverage, with key parity, fallback-ratio, and interpolation-placeholder tests guarding the generated translations. Arabic does not enable RTL layout direction in this batch.
-- Batch 5A added Brazilian Portuguese (`pt-BR`) resource coverage, language selector labels, i18next registration, and system-locale mapping for `pt-BR` and bare `pt`. Non-Brazilian Portuguese regional locales remain unsupported until a matching resource is added.
-- Batch 5B added Korean (`ko`) resource coverage, language selector labels, i18next registration, and system-locale mapping for `ko` and Korean regional locales.

-# Menus
-
-One engine, in `packages/app/src/components/ui/menu/`. `dropdown-menu.tsx` and `context-menu.tsx`
-are wrappers over it and differ only in what opens them — a press, or a long press / right click.
-Import the `DropdownMenu*` or `ContextMenu*` names as before; reach for `@/components/ui/menu`
-directly only when you are building a third trigger shape.
-
-Do not add a third menu implementation. The two that existed were byte-identical from
-`computePosition` down, and the copies drifted: only one of them ever grew a sheet.
-
-## Two presentations
-
-`MenuRoot` picks one from form factor, never from platform — a tablet in a narrow split view
-sheets the same way a phone does.
-
-| Screen                         | Surface                         | Submenus                                           |
-| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
-| Wide                           | Popover anchored to the trigger | Flyout overlapping the row, opened by hover intent |
-| Compact, `compactMode="sheet"` | Bottom sheet                    | The page is replaced in place, with a back header  |
-| Compact, default               | Popover                         | Same as wide                                       |
-
-`compactMode` defaults to `"popover"`, so adopting the sheet is per-menu. That is deliberate:
-flipping every menu in the app to sheets at once is not a change anyone can review. Opt a menu in
-when you have actually looked at it on a phone.
-
-`ContextMenu` is the exception: it defaults to `compactMode="sheet"` and enables native long press.
-Disable mobile triggering explicitly on draggable rows, where long press belongs to drag instead.
-
-## When the items differ per form factor
-
-A menu whose contents depend on what else is on screen gets one component per surface, not one
-component with `isMobile` branches inside it. The workspace header menu is the example
-(`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-header-menu.tsx`): compact has no tab strip, so it
-carries new-tab actions, while wide leaves those to the strip's `+` menu and lists workspace
-actions only. Items both surfaces share live in one component that each menu renders, from the same
-callbacks, so the two can't drift.
-
-## Selecting an item on iOS
-
-An item that closes the menu runs its action after a fixed grace period on iOS, not immediately:
-a native presenter launched while UIKit is still tearing down the surface can hang. Both surfaces
-unmount the moment the menu closes, so the wait is a timer rather than the surface's own dismissal
-callback — a callback fired from inside a subtree that is being removed is racing its own removal,
-and it loses. Selections used to be dropped entirely for exactly that reason.
-
-The consequence for callers: an `onSelect` on iOS runs a beat after the press. Don't add a second
-delay on top of it, and don't read state that the same press mutated.
-
-This is why a row inside a menu surface goes through `selectItem` rather than calling its handler
-from its own `Pressable`. `MenuItem` is not the only row shape on the engine — `ComposerTrackRow`
-is another, with its own icons and hover-revealed actions — but both hand the press to the engine
-and take `closeOnSelect` to say whether choosing them ends the surface. A row that owns its press
-outright leaves the surface open behind whatever it opened, and skips the iOS wait.
-
-## Pages
-
-A submenu is a page, declared as data on the surface and reached by a `MenuSubTrigger` whose `id`
-matches:
-
-```tsx
-<MenuSurface pages={pages} sheetTitle="Display">
-  <MenuSubTrigger id="grouping" value="Project">
-    Grouping
-  </MenuSubTrigger>
-</MenuSurface>
-```
-
-Pages are data rather than nested children because the popover renders them as _siblings_ of the
-root surface — a flyout nested inside the root's box would be clipped by its `overflow: hidden`.
-Declaring them separately is what lets one model drive both presentations.
-
-`menu-navigation.ts` holds that model, and it is pure: the open flyout chain and the mobile push
-stack are the same path, so the popover renders every entry in it and the sheet renders only the
-last. Nothing else differs between the two.
-
-Opening a submenu truncates the path to the depth of the trigger that opened it. Without that,
-sliding the pointer across a row of triggers would stack up every flyout it passed instead of
-swapping between them.
-
-## A page that takes input
-
-A menu page can hold a small form — `MenuTextField` is the field for it, drawn as a row's own
-fill so its text lands on the same rail as the labels above it. Two things have to be true for
-that page, and both are set on the page definition rather than discovered later:
-
-- **`hoverIntent: false`.** A branch you skim is opened and closed by the pointer; a form is not.
-  Without this the page opens on a pointer that was only passing through, and dismisses itself —
-  draft and all — the moment your hands move to the keyboard and the mouse drifts off the flyout.
-  While such a page is open, the whole surface stops closing on hover, because the parent flyout
-  leads back to the same dismissal.
-- **The compact presentation has to be a sheet.** `MenuTextField` resolves to
-  `BottomSheetTextInput` on compact native, which reads the sheet's context and has none in a
-  popover.
-
-The sheet keeps `keyboardBehavior="interactive"`. `extend` grows a sheet to its largest snap
-point, and with `enableDynamicSizing` that point is the content's own height — a short page does
-not grow, and the keyboard comes up over the field you are typing into.
-
-## Hover intent
-
-A flyout **overlaps its parent by 5pt** rather than sitting beside it. With a gap there is a strip
-of backdrop between the two that belongs to neither surface, and every pixel of it is a chance to
-dismiss the menu you are reaching for. Overlapping deletes the strip; don't reintroduce the gap
-and try to cover it with a longer timer.
-
-On top of that, a flyout opens after the pointer rests ~90ms, closes ~260ms after it leaves, and
-cancels its own pending close while the pointer is inside it. The grace still matters because the
-pointer crosses sibling rows on the way down into the flyout.
-
-Hover lives on a plain `View`, never on a `Pressable` — see [hover.md](hover.md), which owns that
-rule. Hover only fires on web, which is exactly where flyouts exist; everywhere else the page
-opens on press.
-
-## Item states
-
-`selected` and `active` are different questions and must not be merged.
-
-| Prop       | Means                      | Draws                     |
-| ---------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------- |
-| `selected` | This is the chosen value   | A check, and nothing else |
-| `active`   | This row's submenu is open | The fill, and no check    |
-
-`selected` also announces itself as `aria-checked`, so a multi-select page is audible as the list
-of on/off things it is.
-
-A selected row does **not** get a background. A check and a fill are two separate claims about the
-same state, and showing both makes a chosen row compete with the row the pointer is actually on.
-`showSelectedCheck` moves the check to a reserved leading column when a group needs to stay
-aligned whether ticked or not; otherwise it sits at the trailing edge and the leading slot is free
-for the option's icon.
-
-Give options icons; leave the root rows without them. The root is labels and their current values,
-and a column of icons there is decoration competing with the values you actually came to read.
-
-## Surface details
-
-- The hover fill is **inset from the surface's edges and rounded** — a chip inside the menu, not a
-  band across it. The inset is taken _out of_ the row, never added to it: padding gives up what
-  margin takes, so labels sit at the same 13pt they always did. Insetting by growing the row is how
-  the menu ends up taller than it started.
-- **A row is as tall as what is driving it** — 28pt for a pointer, 40pt below `md` for a thumb. The
-  split is on breakpoint, not on `presentation`: the compact popover that `compactMode` defaults to
-  is worked with a thumb just as a sheet is, and sizing off the sheet would leave it at the desktop
-  height. `md` is where `useIsCompactFormFactor` divides, so row height and the popover/sheet choice
-  turn over together.
-- The desktop height only holds because the label's `lineHeight` is pinned — 18 line + 8 padding +
-  2 border is exactly 28. Leave it to the platform and content outgrows `minHeight`, which then does
-  nothing. Compact is the other way round: `minHeight` leads and the label centres in it.
-- **A row owns its fill; `MenuPage` owns the spacing between rows.** The vertical inset above the
-  first row and below the last, and the gap between rows, are the page's — one knob each,
-  `MENU_ROW_GAP` being the one a redesign turns. A row that carried vertical margin would be
-  serving both at once, and since margins don't collapse it would land as one unit at the edges and
-  two between rows, so shrinking the gap would eat the inset with it. Horizontal inset does stay on
-  the row: there is one left edge and one right edge, so nothing is doubling up.
-- `MenuPage` is also what provides a page's depth, so the popover and the sheet cannot disagree
-  about what a page is. Every entry point goes through it — root, flyout, pushed sheet page.
-- The gap reaches a page's **direct children**. A group of rows wrapped in a `View` of its own drops
-  out of it; at the current gap of zero there is nothing to lose, but anything above zero wants that
-  wrapper to carry the page style too.
-- The separator is the one row-level thing that asks for vertical space of its own, and now that
-  rows carry none, that is still one number controlling one gap. It takes no horizontal margin and
-  the page has no horizontal padding, so the rule runs the full width of the surface.
-- Separators use `borderAccent`, the same colour the surface outlines itself with. `border` sits
-  between `surface1` and `surface2`, which put it within a hair of the hover fill and made
-  separators disappear against a hovered row.
-
-## When a decision earns a submenu
-
-Put a decision behind a submenu when its options are not the point — the current _value_ is. The
-root row then reads as the answer (`Grouping  Project ›`) and costs one line instead of one line
-per option. A menu whose every option is on screen at once does not survive its third decision.
-
-Independent toggles stay on their page as a checkmark list. A pick-one group can share that page
-below a `MenuSeparator`; make selecting the checked row clear it, so "none" doesn't need a row of
-its own.
-
-## Gotchas
-
-- **Released height.** Reanimated's web entering animation leaves an inline height snapshot on
-  the surface. `AnchoredSurface` clears it, and a `revision` prop re-clears it when content
-  identity changes — a pushed page taller than the one it replaced is clipped without that.
-- **Animate only once placed.** The same snapshot carries top/left, and Reanimated writes it back
-  750ms after mount. `AnchoredSurface` remounts the surface when its position resolves so the
-  entering animation never ends at the off-screen measuring position; on a slow machine that
-  write moved the open menu back off-screen.
-- **Sheets size to content.** `enableDynamicSizing`, not fixed snap points. A pushed page is
-  rarely the height of the page before it.
-- **The sheet's content is teleported out of the menu's subtree**, so `MenuSheetSurface` rebuilds
-  both menu contexts through the sheet's `contextBridge`. Providing them around the modal puts
-  them on the wrong side of the portal and every item inside throws. Gotcha 7 in
-  [floating-panels.md](floating-panels.md).
-- **One overlay per menu.** Submenus render inside their parent's layer and paint no second
-  backdrop, so there is exactly one `Modal` on native no matter how deep the menu goes.
-- **Sheet stacking and backdrop dismissal belong to `IsolatedBottomSheetModal`.** Menus only
-  request a backdrop opacity. See [floating-panels.md](floating-panels.md#gotcha-6--bottom-sheet-refs-are-not-lifecycle-truth).
-- **Retained panels own visibility.** The shared menu surface unmounts when its panel becomes
-  inactive. An async action can navigate before its menu closes; a hidden panel must not leave a
-  portal backdrop blocking the destination. On web the chat suspends one commit after it goes
-  inactive, and that inactive commit is where the surface unmounts.
-- Anchoring, flipping, and edge clamping live in `components/ui/anchor.ts`, shared with the hover
-  card, and are unit-tested. Fix positioning bugs there, not at a call site.
-- Everything else about floating surfaces on Android — Portal/Modal escape, lifecycle gates,
-  status-bar offset, the open flash — is in [floating-panels.md](floating-panels.md).

-# 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 publishes the active panel only when the canonical target and the UI-thread position agree at
-the final anchor. Retained content never observes gesture previews, progress, or an unsettled target.
-The gesture hosts stay mounted. Native worklets own overlay opacity and pointer events while
-React owns settled panel activity and accessibility. Keep hidden native overlays laid out: collapsing
-their scroll ranges makes Android spring retained offsets back to zero during touch cancellation or
-release. Native panel hosts and their dependent draggable lists
-also retain identity across appearance hydration and settings changes. Do not wrap those hosts in
-appearance keys; see [Unistyles appearance boundaries](unistyles.md#runtime-theme-patching-for-user-preferences).
-
-## 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. A successful gesture starts its finishing
-motion immediately; the matching React command adopts that motion instead of restarting it. Position
-settlement and command acceptance may arrive in either order. Activity changes after both agree on
-the same target.
-
-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`.
-- A focused interactive surface may block panel-opening gestures through
-  `useBlockMobilePanelOpenGestures`. Register only while the conflicting interaction is active and
-  unregister when the surface is hidden or unfocused. The blocker never disables gestures that close
-  an already-open panel.
-- 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.
-- `FORCE_REACT_RENDER_FOR_SETTLED_ANIMATIONS` stays off in `packages/app/package.json`. It is a
-  compile-time flag; changing it needs a native rebuild. With it on, Reanimated 4.3 hands settled
-  animated props back to React through a collector that forgets entries older than two seconds. A JS
-  stall across a panel settle loses the final position, and the next React commit reverts the overlay
-  to its last synced props: a backdrop over the workspace while the store says closed. Upstream fixed
-  the collector in 4.4.3, which needs React Native 0.83.
-- Gesture start and progress must not update React state. The retained overlay is already mounted and
-  offscreen; only the shared position and its derived native styles move during a drag.
-- 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.
-- `useIsMobilePanelActive` follows the settled target, not the requested target. Position at the
-  canonical target's anchor is the settlement signal; animation duration and completion callbacks
-  do not own activity. Cancellation publishes nothing.
-- 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.
-  Hidden chat content is suspended on web only, through `retained-chat-content.web.tsx`, where DOM
-  nodes carry no Fabric ownership; the native file keeps the chat live.
-
-## Tests
-
-`packages/app/src/mobile-panels/model.test.ts` exercises command, drag, cancellation, interruption,
-rapid-command, position-settlement, and width-projection sequences through the transition model. Add
-a sequence there whenever ownership or ordering changes.

 # Mobile Testing
 
-## Agent Device
-
-Agent Device `.ad` scripts are the primary mobile E2E format. An agent discovers a working flow interactively, saves the successful commands, then the replay runner executes the same typed plan locally or in CI.
-
-Record a flow while driving the app normally:
-
-```bash
-agent-device open sh.paseo.debug \
-  --platform ios \
-  --session terminal-author \
-  --save-script ./packages/app/e2e/mobile/agent-device/terminal.ios.ad
-agent-device snapshot -i --session terminal-author
-agent-device press 'id="workspace-header-menu-trigger"' --session terminal-author
-# Continue the flow and verify its result with wait/get/is/find.
-agent-device close --session terminal-author
-```
-
-`close` writes the script. Keep selectors based on stable app IDs. Keep assertions as `wait`, `get`, `is`, or `find` commands; screenshots are evidence, not assertions.
-
-Run the Paseo mobile suite:
-
-```bash
-npm run test:e2e:mobile
-```
-
-The runner uses an isolated Agent Device state directory, verifies or starts Metro for this checkout, prewarms the iOS runner, discovers each script's platform from its `context` header, and cleans its sessions, runner lease, daemon, and any Metro process it started. Attempt results, timings, logs, and failure artifacts go under `.dev/agent-device-artifacts`.
-
-Set `PASEO_MOBILE_E2E_METRO_PORT` when this worktree already has Metro on a non-default port:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_MOBILE_E2E_METRO_PORT=62093 npm run test:e2e:mobile
-```
-
-[native-terminal-basic.ios.ad](../packages/app/e2e/mobile/agent-device/native-terminal-basic.ios.ad) and [native-terminal-basic.android.ad](../packages/app/e2e/mobile/agent-device/native-terminal-basic.android.ad) are the smallest examples. Each opens a fresh terminal, types a command at zero delay, submits it, and asserts its distinct output. The app must be connected to a daemon with an active workspace.
-
-For Android keyboard continuity, run the current checkout in the app, open an idle terminal
-with an empty prompt, hide its keyboard, and run:
-
-```bash
-ANDROID_SERIAL=emulator-5554 node packages/app/e2e/mobile/terminal-keyboard/android.mjs
-```
-
-Use a real docked software keyboard. The harness taps Ctrl, Esc, and Enter and checks Android's
-focused input identity and IME hide/show events. It saves screenshots and logs under
-`.dev/agent-device-artifacts/terminal-keyboard-android`. Set `PASEO_TERMINAL_KEYBOARD_APP_ID=sh.paseo`
-to test an installed production build. It never submits a chat message.
-
-`npm run test:e2e:composer-keyboard:android` preserves the chat control and
-keyboard regression flow, then runs the same growth, retained-height, bounds, and
-hold-to-delete and background-tap dismissal scenario on chat, a workspace draft
-tab, and New workspace. It checks empty-content taps and header taps at the cap
-without changing the input height. Each
-host also opens command/file autocomplete, the model selector, the attachment
-menu, and the forge picker from both keyboard states. It then submits a long
-fixture from each host and checks native stream displacement twice: after the
-response settles, and after returning to the bottom and letting the scrollbar
-fade. The image comparison excludes the scrollbar; keyboard dismissal alone
-does not prove that native scrolling receives touches.
-Artifacts are grouped by host under
-`.dev/agent-device-artifacts/composer-keyboard-android`. Configure its daemon,
-Metro, and device through the `PASEO_COMPOSER_KEYBOARD_*` variables in
-`packages/app/e2e/mobile/composer-keyboard/android.sh`. Use a software keyboard;
-the headless input helper cannot verify the
-[visible composer constraints](floating-panels.md#gotcha-3--keyboard-layout-and-portal-anchors).
-
-The Android sidebar scroll-retention flow requires a connected host with enough
-workspaces to overflow the compact sidebar. Pass `TOP_WORKSPACE` and
-`SCROLLED_WORKSPACE` as the `serverId:workspaceId` suffixes of their sidebar row
-IDs. Choose one row near the top and one initially below the viewport. Replace
-the quoted example values below with those IDs. Start in a workspace with the
-sidebar closed and keep the list stable during the run. The same flow checks
-reopening by swipe and button:
-
-```bash
-agent-device replay packages/app/e2e/mobile/agent-device/native-sidebar-scroll-retention.android.yaml \
-  --maestro --platform android --serial emulator-5556 --metro-port 8099 \
-  --env TOP_WORKSPACE='server-id:top-workspace-id' \
-  --env SCROLLED_WORKSPACE='server-id:scrolled-workspace-id'
-```
-
-Pass this checkout's Metro port so the debug app uses the intended bundle.
-For iOS, compare the scrolled row's screen bounds and screenshots across reopening.
-Agent Device's iOS visibility lookup includes offscreen scroll descendants, so
-its `assertNotVisible` cannot establish the starting scroll position for this flow.
-
-On a Play-image emulator, disable Gmail and Calendar first. Their welcome
-screens launch on their own, take input focus, and the run fails with
-`IME did not become visible` while the app still looks focused:
-
-```bash
-adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.gm
-adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.calendar
-```
-
-When replay diverges, read its ranked selector suggestions. Edit the script deliberately and rerun it from the beginning. `--update` is retained for compatibility but no longer rewrites scripts.

-### Android audio focus interruptions
-
-Voice mode uses the custom `expo-two-way-audio` Android module, so incoming calls and other system audio owners must be tested with emulator/system commands, not a JS-only test. To verify that voice resume handles denied audio focus without crashing:
-
-```bash
-adb shell am start -n sh.paseo/.MainActivity
-# Start voice mode in an existing composer, then background Paseo with Home.
-adb emu gsm call 5551234
-# Foreground Paseo while the call is still ringing.
-```
-
-Expected result: Paseo does not throw `RuntimeException: Audio focus request failed`; native audio reports an interruption and voice mode stops or pauses coherently.
-
-### Releasing the audio session when idle
-
-Paseo must not hold the OS audio session once it is neither capturing nor playing, or the user's
-background music stays paused. On iOS this is not just a "while recording" problem: the
-`.playAndRecord`/`.voiceChat` category is non-mixing and survives backgrounding, and iOS re-asserts
-it every time the app returns to the foreground — so one dictation turn kills music for the life of
-the process, on every open, until the app is force-quit. Android holds
-`AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN_TRANSIENT_EXCLUSIVE` with the same effect. It must also reset
-`MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION` and clear the selected communication device; abandoning focus alone can
-leave Bluetooth earbuds on their narrow-band call route without an active microphone indicator.
-
-`createAudioEngine` (`packages/app/src/voice/audio-engine.native.ts`) calls
-`releaseAudioSession()` whenever capture stops and the playback queue drains, and the iOS module
-also releases on `OnAppEntersBackground`. The native side re-guards on `isRecording` /
-`speechPlayer.isPlaying`, because the native engine is a singleton shared by multiple JS engine
-wrappers (voice provider + dictation) and only it knows the true state.
-
-This cannot be validated by a JS test — verify on a device: play music through Bluetooth earbuds,
-open Paseo, use dictation once, stop, and confirm the music resumes at full quality; then
-background/foreground the app and confirm it keeps playing at full quality.

 If a chat footer looks duplicated or appears above the assistant message on mobile, start with `packages/app/src/agent-stream/layout.test.ts`. Do not add a React Native renderer test for this class of bug; make the pure layout invariant fail first.
 
-## Local iOS device builds
-
-Native changes (anything under `packages/expo-two-way-audio/ios/`, or any new Expo module) **cannot be
-tested over Metro or EAS Update**. Those ship JS only. A stale dev-client binary silently lacks the new
-native functions, so the feature no-ops and the test proves nothing. Rebuild the binary.
-
-Symptom of a stale dev client: `Cannot find native module 'ExpoDocumentPicker'` at startup, followed by a
-cascade of `Route "./X.tsx" is missing the required default export` warnings. The route warnings are not a
-router bug — the module-level throw aborts `_layout.tsx` evaluation, so its default export never gets
-assigned. One missing native module, N confusing warnings.
-
-**Prerequisite: Xcode needs a signed-in Apple ID for the signing team _with a valid keychain token_.** An
-account that merely appears in Xcode → Settings → Accounts is not enough — if its `Xcode-Token` is missing,
-the build below fails at code signing and blames a _certificate_ instead. See
-[Signing needs a working Apple ID token in Xcode](#signing-needs-a-working-apple-id-token-in-xcode) before
-you start, not after it fails.
-
-```bash
-cd packages/app
-npm --prefix ../.. run build:client
-APP_VARIANT=development npx expo prebuild --platform ios
-APP_VARIANT=development npx expo run:ios --device
-```
-
-`APP_VARIANT=development` is required. The `ios` npm script does not set it, and `app.config.js` defaults
-to `production` — so a bare `npm run ios` builds `sh.paseo` and collides with the App Store install instead
-of the `sh.paseo.debug` dev client. Ignore prebuild's `--non-interactive is not supported` warning; use
-`CI=1` if you need non-interactive.
-
-### Signing needs a working Apple ID token in Xcode
-
-Device builds fail with a trio of errors that all point away from the real cause:
-
-```
-error: No Accounts: Add a new account in Accounts settings.
-error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: *" doesn't include
-       signing certificate "Apple Development: <name>".
-error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: *" doesn't include
-       the aps-environment entitlement.
-```
-
-**`No Accounts` does not reliably mean no account is configured.** Check the line _above_ it in the build
-log before believing it:
-
-```
-DVTDeveloperAccountManager: Failed to load credentials for <apple-id>:
-  Invalid credentials in keychain for <apple-id>, missing Xcode-Token
-```
-
-That is the actual failure: the Apple ID is registered in Xcode, but its `Xcode-Token` keychain item is gone
-(typically after an Apple ID password change or a keychain reset). Xcode reports it as `No Accounts`, then
-falls back to whatever stale profile is cached — and if the machine holds a dev cert newer than that
-profile, you get the _certificate_ mismatch as a second-order symptom. Chasing the certificate error is a
-dead end.
-
-Verify what is actually configured rather than trusting the message:
-
-```bash
-# Accounts Xcode knows about
-defaults read com.apple.dt.Xcode DVTDeveloperAccountManagerAppleIDLists
-
-# The credential that is actually missing (error => no token)
-security find-generic-password -s "Xcode-Token"
-```
-
-Fix: Xcode → Settings → Accounts, re-sign-in to the listed Apple ID (removing and re-adding forces a fresh
-token). That restores `-allowProvisioningUpdates`, profile regeneration, and push.
-
-Signing an Xcode-_managed_ profile via `CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Manual` is not a workaround; Xcode rejects it with
-`is Xcode managed, but signing settings require a manually managed profile`.
-
-If you need a build on the device before the token is fixed, build unsigned and sign by hand with a cert the
-cached profile already embeds (list them with `security cms -D -i <profile>.mobileprovision`, then compare
-against `security find-identity -v -p codesigning`):
-
-```bash
-xcodebuild ... CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" build
-cp <profile>.mobileprovision "$APP/embedded.mobileprovision"
-# sign nested frameworks/dylibs first, then the bundle, then:
-xcrun devicectl device install app --device <udid> "$APP"
-```
-
-This is a stopgap, not a fix: `expo prebuild` regenerates `packages/app/ios/` and discards it. It also
-requires stripping entitlements the cached profile lacks (e.g. `aps-environment`), so push is dead in such a
-build.
-
-To verify only that native Swift compiles, skip signing entirely — the pods have their own schemes:
-
-```bash
-cd packages/app/ios
-xcodebuild -workspace PaseoDebug.xcworkspace -scheme ExpoTwoWayAudio \
-  -sdk iphoneos -destination 'generic/platform=iOS' CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO build
-```
-
-Confirm the log compiled _your_ file and not a cached copy: the `SwiftCompile` line should reference
-`packages/expo-two-way-audio/ios/...`, not a path inside DerivedData.
-
-### Headless launch cannot verify runtime behavior
-
-`xcrun devicectl device process launch` reports `The app terminated with the exit code 0` about a second
-after launch when the phone's screen is off — the app is suspended and killed before the JS bundle loads.
-This is **not** a build defect. Confirm with a control: launch `com.apple.Preferences` the same way and
-watch it exit identically. Headless install and launch prove the binary is valid and that startup reaches
-RN init; anything about on-screen behavior needs a human holding the phone.

-# Daemon permissions
-
-The daemon authorizes principals with semantic permissions. RPC names and protocol namespaces are not authority.
-
-## Model
-
-```text
-principal -> grants
-    |
-    +-- authenticated by a device or service credential
-    `-- opens a session with equal or narrower authority
-```
-
-A principal is the durable identity the daemon authorizes. A credential proves that a device or service represents it. Keep them separate so you can rotate credentials, attach more than one device, and revoke a Hub user without inventing daemon user accounts.
-
-A pairing invitation is neither. It is an expiring, single-use exchange that creates a principal and credential with the permissions selected by its issuer.
-
-## Permissions
-
-| Permission          | Authority                                                                  |
-| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `daemon.read`       | Daemon status, diagnostics, configuration, and provider information        |
-| `daemon.manage`     | Restart, update, configuration changes, providers, skills, and plugins     |
-| `tunnel.manage`     | Relay, Hub, service tunnel, and public endpoint relationships              |
-| `access.manage`     | Pairing invitations, principals, credentials, grants, and revocation       |
-| `workspace.read`    | Projects, workspaces, agents, timelines, files, diffs, and terminal output |
-| `workspace.write`   | Prompts, agent control, files, terminals, git operations, and scripts      |
-| `workspace.manage`  | Create, rename, archive, and remove projects and workspaces                |
-| `automation.manage` | Schedules, heartbeats, and loops                                           |
-| `hub.execute`       | Agent lifecycle, workspace titling, observation, and recovery              |
-
-Agents and terminals use workspace authority. Both can execute code and mutate the workspace, so separate write permissions would claim an isolation boundary the daemon cannot enforce.
-
-Owner, operator, and viewer are UI presets expanded into explicit permissions. Do not persist them as roles. Adding a permission must not silently widen an existing principal.
-
-Permissions are additive allows. Missing authority denies the operation. Do not add deny precedence.
-
-## Resources
-
-Permissions are daemon-wide today. Future grants may select workspaces or agents, but operation classification remains inside the authorization module:
-
-```ts
-type Grant = {
-  permission: Permission;
-  resource: { kind: "daemon" } | { kind: "workspace"; ids: string[] };
-};
-```
-
-A delegating principal can grant only authority it already possesses. A session may attenuate its principal's grants but cannot widen them.
-
-Workspace-scoped grants require every resource-bearing operation and outbound observation to enforce the same workspace boundary. File preview currently accepts any daemon-readable regular file, so it must gain resource enforcement before workspace-specific access ships.
-
-## Hub
-
-The Hub authenticates as a service principal. Its locally selected grants decide whether it may execute agents, manage the daemon, manage tunnels, or manage access.
-
-Hub user and role identifiers remain opaque external subjects. The Hub may create and revoke linked daemon principals when granted `access.manage`; the daemon does not interpret accounts, organizations, or roles.
-
-Hub enrollment and permission updates exchange these semantic permissions directly. Legacy persisted Hub relationships that contain `hub.execution.*` migrate once to `hub.execute` when the daemon loads them; new relationships never persist or emit transport scopes as authority.

-  "pluginsEnabled": true,
-  "plugins": {
-    "my-plugin": {
-      "source": "directory",
-      "path": "/absolute/path/to/my-plugin",
-      "enabled": true
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Installed plugins are disabled unless `pluginsEnabled` is `true`. Built-in plugins remain active.
-Changing that root field is
-runtime-safe: run `paseo reload` after editing `config.json`. Enabling starts every configured,
-enabled plugin; disabling tears them all down without restarting the daemon. Plugin source entries
-remain lifecycle-owned and do not reload from manual config edits.
-
-The directory contains a manifest declaring identity and Paseo requirements, one optional entry per runtime, runtime-owned
-directories, and local typechecking support. At least one entry is required.
-
-```text
-my-plugin/
-  paseo-plugin.json
-  package.json
-  tsconfig.json
-  index.client.tsx
-  index.server.ts
-  client/greeting.tsx
-  server/greeting.ts
-  shared/greeting.ts
-```
-
-The generated `package.json` installs `@getpaseo/plugin` and the other host modules as development
-dependencies for local typechecking and tests. Paseo compiles TypeScript and TSX and supplies the
-runtime modules, so consumers do not install these packages when adding the plugin.
-
-```json
-{
-  "id": "my-plugin",
-  "requirements": { "paseo": ">=0.8.0" }
-}
-```
-
-Declare the supported Paseo range and keep it current when adopting newer APIs. See the
-[requirements contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#requirements), including legacy
-manifests and prerelease matching.
-
-The config key is the runtime plugin ID. The manifest ID is the default selected during install;
-`--id` overrides it. Existing configuration is not renamed when the manifest changes, and the
-runtime does not compare the two IDs. The same directory can be installed under several config
-keys.
-
-Never enable plugins on a user's behalf without explicit permission. Before asking, check the
-target daemon's current `pluginsEnabled` value. State that plugins are trusted, unsandboxed code:
-backend code can access the daemon machine, while client contributions run inside the Paseo app.
-
-Source changes are explicit. Run `paseo plugin reload <id>` to stop and fully tear down the old
-plugin before compiling and starting from disk. A failed reload stays failed; Paseo does not restore
-the old code. Use `enable`, `disable`, and `remove` to manage one plugin. Removing a directory source
-never deletes it. The global `pluginsEnabled` switch remains available.
-
-## Built-in plugins
-
-Built-in plugins ship from `plugins/<id>/`, with `paseo-plugin.json`, `index.server.ts`,
-`server/`, and optional client entry and icon. Add the plugin ID to `builtinPlugins` in
-`packages/server/src/server/plugins/builtin/index.ts`; the workspace, build copy, and CI
-checks cover that registry. Unlisted directories do not load.
-
-Desktop packaging ships the entire built-in plugin directory as an external resource,
-including declarations. The external esbuild compiler cannot read Electron's `app.asar`
-filesystem, and packaging dependencies excludes `.d.ts` files needed for import validation.
-Built-ins can import only host modules (`@getpaseo/plugin/*`, `zod`) and Node built-ins:
-outside the archive, nothing resolves an npm dependency, and the dist build test cannot catch
-one because it resolves through the repository's `node_modules`.
-The packaged-app smoke check requires every listed built-in to start without relying on
-account credentials.
-
-Built-ins run in process and remain active independently of `pluginsEnabled`. They are
-absent from the installed plugin list and source configuration; their client bundles
-appear in the plugin catalog. Editing one in development requires a daemon restart.
-Directory, Git, and npm installs cannot use a built-in ID.
-
-Provider plugins use separate installation and provider IDs. `muse-provider` registers the
-selectable `muse` provider (Muse Code) and a usage source. Its `status({ launch })` reports
-availability and a diagnostic after the daemon resolves the executable. Configure command,
-environment, or enablement overrides under `agents.providers.muse`. Omit `extends` to keep
-the bundled integration; an entry with `extends` shadows it with a custom provider. See
-[provider contributions](#contribute-a-provider) for the contract and
-[Muse Code](../public-docs/muse-code.md) for setup, per-agent options, and version limitations.
-
-## Install from a registry
-
-`paseo plugin add owner/slug` installs the registry's reviewed artifact by default.
-Browse published plugins at [paseo.sh/plugins](https://paseo.sh/plugins).
-Use `git:owner/repository` or a full Git URL for a Git source. Registry installs
-keep the registry URL and ID, so update checks use its approved pin. Explicit version/ref
-selection is unavailable for registry installs; install an explicit source to select your own.
-
-Registry overviews are untrusted author content, even before installation. Render them with
-`@getpaseo/protocol/plugin-overview`: no raw HTML, HTTPS-only links and images, no relative
-URLs, and isolated external links. The website adapter and corpus tests live in
-`packages/website/src/plugins/overview.tsx` and `overview.test.tsx`; the reusable corpus is
-`packages/protocol/tests/fixtures/plugin-overview.json`. A future app overview must share
-this policy. Installed-plugin descriptions in the app remain plain text.
-
-Use `host/owner/slug` for a registry at `https://host`, or set
-`PASEO_PLUGIN_REGISTRY` to change the default base (including a path prefix).
-Private registry credentials live in daemon config under
-`pluginRegistries: { "host": { "authorization": "Bearer token" } }`.
-Restart your daemon after changing these startup settings. Credentials go only to the registry,
-never artifact hosts or redirects. Git/npm use their own host authentication.
-
-The [open registry protocol](https://github.com/getpaseo/plugins/blob/main/PROTOCOL.md)
-owns static hosting, record shapes, pins, and advisory install counts.
-
-## Install a Git source
-
-GitHub repositories use `git:owner/repository` or `github:owner/repository`. Other hosts use a Git
-URL.
-
-```bash
-paseo plugin install git:owner/repository
-paseo plugin install https://gitlab.com/group/repository.git
-paseo plugin install git:owner/monorepo:plugins/review
-paseo plugin install github:owner/repository --ref main
-```
-
-Append `:relative/path` for a plugin below the repository root. `--ref` chooses the initial
-branch, tag, or commit once. Updates of explicit Git sources resolve the remote's default HEAD
-and ask for approval. `ls` reports the installed commit without contacting the remote.
-
-## Managed source ownership
-
-The [public source reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#plugin-sources) owns identifier
-syntax and npm prerequisites; the [publishing guide](../public-docs/plugins/publishing.md) owns distribution. The CLI resolves directory sources before
-calling `installPluginSource`; see the public source reference for CLI and app path semantics.
-Only the daemon reads plugin files and acquires sources.
-
-`ManagedPluginSources` owns acquisition and offline source description. Config stores the active
-directory; sources.json stores managed kind and the Git acquisition remote. The remote is needed
-because authenticated clones may have a rewritten placeholder origin. Fixed owned directory layout
-provides the selected subdirectory, npm package name and cleanup root. Git HEAD and the installed
-npm package.json checked against package-lock.json provide the current revision. Keep the complete
-npm dependency tree and lockfile after staging activation. No install selector governs updates.
-
-The loader sees only the configured directory and never invokes npm. npm lifecycle scripts are
-disabled during acquisition; manifest preparation owns required commands before validation.
-
-List responses retain the closed `source: directory | git` enum. The optional `installation`
-projection carries identity and current revision. Old npm metadata remains accepted but is no longer
-emitted. Installation uses `features.pluginSourceInstallation`; reviewed preview/apply uses
-`features.pluginSourceUpdates`, gated by the SDK and CLI entry. The old immediate-update request
-returns update-client guidance. Basic management remains independently available.
-
-Preview returns exact targets and expected installed identity/root/revision. Apply validates those
-values, acquires the displayed artifact or commit, then rechecks state before activation. No review
-session is stored in the daemon. PluginService owns activation/recovery and independent bulk results.
-
-### Declare Git preparation
-
-Most plugins should omit `build`. Use it only when the staged checkout must install a dependency
-that Paseo does not provide, generate source or assets, or perform another required preparation
-step:
-
-```json
-{
-  "id": "review",
-  "requirements": { "paseo": ">=0.8.0" },
-  "build": [
-    ["npm", "ci"],
-    ["npm", "run", "build"]
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-`build` is an optional list of argv arrays. Each array must contain at least one non-empty string;
-shell command strings are rejected. Paseo starts the executable directly, without a shell, from the
-plugin directory in the staged checkout. It never detects lockfiles or chooses a package manager.
-
-On install and every update, Paseo resolves the exact Git revision and manifest, runs the declared
-commands, then validates, compiles, and activates the candidate. It logs each argv command and its
-output in the daemon log. If a command fails, the error includes its output, Paseo discards the
-candidate, and the existing installed and running version stays untouched. On a remote daemon, all
-of this happens on the remote daemon host.
-
-Server contributions can write to stdout and stderr with normal Node logging. Paseo adds `[paseo]`
-entries for loading, ready, stopping, and stopped transitions. Compilation and load failures are
-recorded as stderr entries before a subprocess exists. Inspect the recent in-memory
-tail from the host plugin settings or with `paseo plugin logs <id>`. Git preparation commands are
-recorded in `$PASEO_HOME/daemon.log` before a plugin exists, rather than the plugin log tail. Reload, disable, and process
-failure retain the tail; removing the plugin clears it. Daemon restarts do not retain the tail, but
-structured copies remain in `$PASEO_HOME/daemon.log`. Plugin output can contain secrets, so do not
-log credentials or tokens.
-
-## Contribute behavior and UI
-
-Default export one contribution function from each runtime entry. Keep the entries to registration
-wiring. Runtime code lives behind directory boundaries:
-
-| Path                             | Owns                                                                 |
-| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `index.client.tsx` and `client/` | React, React Native, hooks, styles, surfaces, panels, and callbacks. |
-| `index.server.ts` and `server/`  | Node APIs, filesystem and process access, credentials, and handlers. |
-| `shared/`                        | Zod RPC contracts and plain values used by both runtimes.            |
-
-Do not put any other code modules in the plugin root.
-
-Shared files import contract helpers and types from `@getpaseo/plugin`. Server handler files import
-`PluginHandlerContext` from `@getpaseo/plugin/server`. Client files import Paseo UI from
-`@getpaseo/plugin/client/react-native`. Its `Icon` resolves a Lucide name using the client's installed icon
-set; an unknown name renders nothing so it cannot break the plugin surface.
-Its controlled modal keeps presentation metadata on `<Modal title="…" icon={…}>` and body UI in
-`<Modal.Content>`. Body layout, sheet-aware scrolling, and clipboard actions follow the
-[host UI contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#host-ui).
-Plugin UI runs on desktop and mobile across multiple themes: color every `Text` from
-`theme.colors.foreground` or `theme.colors.foregroundMuted`, and size layout from `layout.compact`.
-See `public-docs/plugins/reference.md`.
-
-### SDK import boundaries
-
-Classify every SDK export before adding it. All client entry points and implementations live under
-`client/`; all server entry points and implementations live under `server/`. The package root is shared code: plain data types,
-Zod schemas, and functions that run in both runtimes. A type-only import is still an architectural
-dependency; shared types must not refer to React components, hooks, Node APIs, or server contexts.
-
-| Entry                                                | Owns                                                                       | May depend on          |
-| ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
-| `@getpaseo/plugin`                                   | Shared data, schemas, RPC/settings definitions, runtime-neutral helpers    | Shared code only       |
-| `@getpaseo/plugin/server`                            | Server contexts, lifecycle contracts, and CLI process launch               | Shared and server code |
-| `@getpaseo/plugin/server/provider`, `/server/acp`    | Server provider contracts and adapters                                     | Shared and server code |
-| `@getpaseo/plugin/client`                            | Client contribution contexts, hooks, navigation, and UI contribution types | Shared and client code |
-| `@getpaseo/plugin/client/react-native`, `/client/ui` | Host-provided UI components                                                | Shared and client code |
-| `@getpaseo/plugin/client/host`                       | App-owned rendering integration; not a plugin-author entry                 | Shared and client code |
-
-Server code imports shared helpers from the root and server capabilities from `/server`. Client
-code imports shared helpers from the root and client capabilities from `/client`. Neither runtime
-imports the other. Re-exports follow the same rule; tree shaking does not establish a boundary.
-React, React Native, JSX runtimes, and client hooks must never be reachable from the root or any
-server entry. Node and platform-specific code must never be reachable from the shared root.
-
-The SDK boundary checks and real plugin-subprocess tests enforce these rules. Every SDK change
-must preserve them and update the public reference, migration guide, scaffold, and examples when
-an author-facing import changes. The plugin compiler enforces the same runtime entry rules for
-plugin-authored code. Keep the package export map and host-provided module maps consistent.
-
-The compiler rejects imports across runtime directories or SDK entries, React dependencies in
-server code, and Node imports in client code (including bare names such as `fs`). Shared modules
-cannot import runtime-owned modules. Forbidden imports fail compilation; never replace them with
-empty module stubs. A relative
-import to any other code file in the plugin root is also rejected; move it into `client/`, `server/`,
-or `shared/`. These are compile errors naming the importing file and boundary rule. Top-level React
-Native calls such as `StyleSheet.create` belong in `client/`.
-
-The scaffold omits `"DOM"` from `tsconfig.json` and does not use `/// <reference lib="dom" />`, so
-browser globals are not available across the plugin. Put sanctioned web-only APIs in
-`client/web.ts`, declare only the globals that module uses, gate each export with
-`Platform.OS === "web"`, and provide a native implementation or no-op. See the
-[public plugin reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#works-on-mobile) for the complete
-pattern.
-
-```ts
-// index.server.ts
-import type { PluginServerContext } from "@getpaseo/plugin/server";
-import { createGreeting } from "./server/greeting";
-import { greetRpc } from "./shared/greeting";
-
-export default function contribute(server: PluginServerContext) {
-  server.handle(greetRpc, createGreeting);
-  return () => {};
-}
-```
-
-```tsx
-// index.client.tsx
-import type { PluginClientContext, PluginSidebarItemProps } from "@getpaseo/plugin/client";
-import { SidebarRow } from "@getpaseo/plugin/client/ui";
-import { Greeting } from "./client/greeting";
-
-function GreetingItem({ currentScreen, openScreen }: PluginSidebarItemProps) {
-  return (
-    <SidebarRow
-      icon="MessageCircle"
-      active={currentScreen?.screenId === "main"}
-      onPress={() => openScreen({ screenId: "main" })}
-    />
-  );
-}
-
-export default function contribute(client: PluginClientContext) {
-  client.addScreen({ id: "main", title: "Greeting", Component: Greeting });
-  client.addSidebarHeaderItem({ id: "main", title: "Greeting", Component: GreetingItem });
-  return () => {};
-}
-```
-
-The contribution function must return cleanup. Server cleanup may be async; Paseo waits for it when
-the plugin is reloaded, disabled, removed, disconnected, or shut down. Cleanup is for resources
-created by plugin code. Paseo removes registered contributions, unmounts surfaces, clears query
-state, rejects pending RPCs, closes the plugin's daemon session, and stops the subprocess. Cleanup
-errors are logged and do not interrupt host teardown.
-
-Paseo owns the route, screen header, Lucide icon validation, close action, theme DTO, layout facts,
-and render error boundary. The contributed component owns the complete body below the header.
-The plugin owns the header's text through the screen's `title` (`resolvePluginScreenTitle` in
-`plugins/surface-contribution.ts`). A legacy `addSidebarItem` route (`/sidebar/<id>`) shows the
-item's title and icon instead, as before screens had titles; the `addSurface` alias titles its
-screen with the id. A `/sidebar/<id>` route with no legacy item of that id opens the screen with
-that id, so links saved before a plugin migrated keep working.
-
-Screen params ride in the screen route's query string (`plugins/routes.ts`), not in app state, so
-reload, history, links, and the host switcher keep them without a store. Expo Router merges the
-route's segments (`serverId`, `pluginId`, ...) into the same search params as the query, so param
-keys are stored under a `param.` prefix; plugins never see it and may use any key.
-`openScreen` validates its input once (`parsePluginOpenScreenInput`); code past it trusts the
-params.
-
-RPC contracts validate inputs and outputs 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.
-
-`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.
-
-`usePaseo()` is the plugin's one client: `InstalledPlugin.paseo`, created with the installation in
-`packages/app/src/plugins/registry.ts` over the host's existing connection and passed to setup as
-`client.paseo`. Authors release their subscriptions in their own cleanup, and teardown (disable,
-reload, removal, host removal) disposes the client, which ends the rest; nothing is created or
-disposed per mounted surface. See the
-[public example](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#use-the-paseo-sdk). Switching the screen's host
-changes both `usePaseo()` and `useRpc()` to that host's installation. An offline selected host fails there and never falls through to another
-installation. A server handler owns an IPC-backed daemon session for the life of its subprocess.
-Use plugin RPC for plugin-specific backend behavior that is not a normal Paseo operation.
-
-Host-targeted clients and discovery are owned by `packages/app/src/plugins/hosts`, with per-installation
-bindings supplied by the bundle loader. Bind the imperative getter to that installation; do not
-resolve ownership through a mutable current-plugin global. Keep observation ownership in this module
-and transport ownership in the app host runtime. See the [public host API contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#discover-hosts-and-target-another-host).
-
-Each subprocess gets an exclusively owned `plugin:<id>` session. That identity is reserved from
-normal clients, never resumes another session, and is cleaned immediately on exit without reconnect
-grace. During daemon startup, plugin sessions may connect while application WebSockets remain
-paused; the daemon accepts clients only after configured plugins have settled and the initial
-catalog is complete.
-
-When the same plugin contribution exists on multiple hosts, Paseo shows it once in the sidebar and
-adds a host picker to the screen header. The selected host supplies the bundle, RPC transport, and
-query cache. Explicit SDK targets follow the [host API contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#discover-hosts-and-target-another-host).
-
-Workspace panels, Command Center items, and client slash commands are client contributions. The
-daemon transports their compiled bundle without interpreting placement or callbacks. Panel props
-contain workspace and agent IDs. Required-selector hooks read normalized client state synchronously
-and use shallow equality, so a panel does not subscribe to fields it does not render. Command
-callbacks materialize their snapshots only when invoked. Contribution discovery and panel opening
-never fetch active context through plugin RPC. Snapshot DTOs are deeply readonly and frozen at
-runtime so plugin code cannot mutate normalized app state or a memoized selection. Panels use one persisted
-`plugin` workspace-tab target, so reload, disable, removal, and restoration resolve through the
-current installed-plugin catalog. A missing contribution renders unavailable inside the tab.
-Panels declare `locations: ["workspace", "explorer"]` to opt into Explorer hosting; omission means
-workspace only. Location controls hosting, not context. An agent panel target keeps its `agentId`
-when moved between hosts. Explorer configuration can create workspace-context panels and remove
-existing agent-context instances, but it cannot create an agent panel without an agent-aware command.
-
-Command Center callbacks use the selected host's existing `PaseoApi` for normal Paseo operations.
-They use typed plugin RPC only for plugin-specific backend work. Surface and panel navigation
-belongs to the app; plugins do not receive Expo Router or workspace-layout store access.
-See the public [navigation fields](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#screens-and-sidebar-items)
-and [external links and workspace browsers](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#external-links-and-workspace-browsers)
-for the author-facing contract.
-
-## Lifecycle hooks
-
-Server entries register lifecycle observers with `server.on()` and request transforms with
-`server.before()`. The [public reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#lifecycle-hooks)
-owns callback shapes, ordering, and failure behavior. `plugin-examples/lifecycle-logger` registers all
-eleven hooks; `plugin-examples/lifecycle-actions` demonstrates common automation callbacks.
-
-Emit from the operation owner, not a client subscription. Provider history replay must not trigger
-live hooks. Observers must not be awaited inside agent mutations: a callback can send a prompt or
-answer a permission through its own daemon session. Awaiting it there deadlocks that command.
-
-## Contribute a provider
-
-Register a provider from `index.server.ts`. The provider connection is callback-based and owns all
-of its sessions; plugin RPC is not part of the provider data path.
-
-```ts
-import type { PluginServerContext } from "@getpaseo/plugin/server";
-import type { ProviderRegistration } from "@getpaseo/plugin/server/provider";
-import { createProvider } from "./server/provider";
-
-export default function contribute(server: PluginServerContext) {
-  server.registerProvider(createProvider() satisfies ProviderRegistration);
-  return () => {};
-}
-```
-
-Declare `command: ["agent", "serve"]` when your provider launches an executable. The daemon applies
-`agents.providers.<id>.command` and `env`, resolves the executable against the effective PATH, and
-removes parent-session and daemon-control environment variables. `connect({ launch })` receives
-`{ command, args, env }`: an executable path, effective arguments, and the complete sanitized
-environment. Spawn with those values; do not merge the plugin process's environment back in.
-The launch travels as data through the same provider protocol for built-in and subprocess plugins.
-Without a declared command, existing providers keep their connection behavior and receive no launch.
-
-Implement optional `status({ launch })` to check credentials, versions, or other prerequisites using
-that effective launch. Return `{ available: true }` or
-`{ available: false, diagnostic: "Run agent login" }`. The daemon checks executable availability
-before calling status; it exposes your diagnostic through the normal provider diagnostic command.
-A command-backed provider without status is available when its executable resolves. Providers with
-neither command nor status retain connection-based availability.
-
-A same-ID config entry without `extends` overrides the plugin's `enabled`, `command`, `env`, label,
-description, and model configuration through the normal provider registry. `enabled: false` disables
-selection and discovery. An entry with `extends` defines the user's own provider, shadows the plugin,
-and logs a warning. Overrides validate before plugins load; an override for an absent plugin stays
-inactive and logs a warning naming the unmatched ID after built-in and configured plugin startup
-settles (including disabled plugins), then on each installed registry generation.
-Use IDs matching `/^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$/` for configurable providers. Dots and underscores
-remain valid for plugin registration but cannot be used as config provider IDs.
-
-Provider config changes rebuild the affected registry entry and invalidate its catalogue; the next
-connection receives the new launch without restarting the daemon. Running sessions keep their
-current launch until refreshed, as native providers do.
-
-Implement optional `ProviderRegistration.getCatalogCacheKey(options)` to share equivalent catalogue
-probes. The callback runs in the plugin process before discovery and receives the actual global or
-workspace target plus the resolved `launch` when a command is declared. Return a key covering
-effective configuration and execution environment, or
-`undefined` for target-specific caching. Ignore `force` when choosing identity. Existing providers
-need no change. See [catalogue ownership](providers.md#provider-snapshot-refresh-contract).
-
-`send()` resolves after acceptance. Publish operation completion, prompt disposition, turn state,
-configuration, permissions, persistence, and complete timeline snapshots through `onEvent()`.
-Route messages, structured commands, steering, and command side effects through `session.prompt`.
-Provider settings are toggle/select data that Paseo renders in the composer. Keep private options in
-the opaque `ProviderSessionConfig.providerOptions` object on `session.open`.
-It contains the provider defaults and per-agent overrides merged by the daemon.
-Validate and apply it inside the provider; core does not know your option shape.
-See [provider options](custom-providers.md#provider-options) for configuration and
-merge semantics.
-
-Agent refresh closes the current provider session and opens it again with current configuration and
-persistence. Re-read credentials and provider-owned configuration on `session.open`; consume the
-daemon launch from `connect` and the per-session env and MCP servers from `session.open`. There is
-no provider reload input.
-
-For an ACP command, register `runAcpProvider({ id, label, command })` from
-`@getpaseo/plugin/server/acp`. Its transformer hooks cover narrow vendor differences; do not translate the
-whole provider event stream. The shim uses the resolved launch for every probe and session, overlaying
-only the supplied per-session env for sessions. The direct and ACP examples live in
-`plugin-examples/provider-direct`
-and `plugin-examples/provider-acp-transformer`.
-
-Provider-emitted plugin timeline items use the same renderer registration as transformed and
-daemon-appended plugin items. The direct example includes both sides. The renderer-only
-`plugin-examples/inline-thinking` example shows that timeline presentation remains independent of a
-provider implementation. The public [provider plugin guide](../public-docs/plugins/providers.md)
-owns author workflow, lifecycle, testing, and distribution guidance.
-
-`ProviderRegistration.icon` is a file path relative to the plugin directory, such as `icon.svg`.
-It must resolve inside that directory to a regular SVG file no larger than 64 KiB. The SVG must be
-self-contained: scripts, styles, `foreignObject`, event-handler attributes, JavaScript URLs, and
-external `href` or `xlink:href` references are rejected. Fragment references such as `#mark` are
-allowed. Paseo reads and sanitizes the file when the plugin starts; the string is never an inline
-SVG or URL.
-
-## Usage sources
-
-Register a usage source from `index.server.ts` with `server.registerUsageSource()`. Import `UsageSourceRegistration` and normalization helpers from `@getpaseo/plugin/server/usage`. The plugin owns account discovery, harness labels, and credential-store reads; the daemon owns account grouping and the fetch cache. Agent popovers use only the agent's own login. The host-wide Usage modal falls back across an account's logins; any success shows usage only, and all failures show every login's labeled error and remedy. Follow the [usage source discovery contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#usage-sources). The resolved launch environment crosses into the trusted, unsandboxed plugin subprocess for session discovery. Usage queries never run lifecycle hooks. Inputs are validated in the plugin process and remain daemon-side. `icon` uses the same sanitized SVG file rules as provider icons.
-
-The daemon calls discovery for `usage.list_reports`; the client gates this RPC on `server_info.features.usageSources`. The old `provider.usage.list` RPC maps discovered reports for older clients.
-
-## Contribute sidebar items
-
-Sidebar header and footer items are plugin components, not descriptors. The
-[public reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#sidebar-items) owns the author API. The host
-lives in `packages/app/src/plugins/sidebar-items/`; `packages/app/src/sidebar-nav/model.ts` resolves
-one section's order from built-ins, plugin groups, and the section's preference
-(`sidebarNavItems` or `sidebarFooterItems`).
-
-- The item's `Component` renders directly in the section, with no wrapper, so a fragment or array
-  of rows lays out like separate items while Settings keeps one entry for the block. Footer items
-  are rows between Add project and the footer's icon row. The icon row (Hosts,
-  Help and support, Settings) is fixed app code, not a contribution slot, so the kit has no icon
-  button.
-- `openPopover` opens through the same `PluginPopoverSurface` as header buttons
-  (`plugins/popover.tsx`). Any press inside a `SidebarRow`, including its `trailing` content, moves
-  the menu anchor to that row: a capture-phase `onStartShouldSetResponderCapture` runs before the
-  pressed child claims the touch on native and web, and returns false. Keyboard activation skips
-  the responder system, so the row's own press anchors too. Until a press, the first mounted row
-  holds the anchor. An item that renders no kit component
-  anchors to its section container.
-- `SidebarSeparator` reuses the app's separator and cancels the footer's horizontal padding, so
-  the line runs edge to edge in both sections.
-- `SidebarRow.trailing` sits in a second `Pressable` beside the row's button, since web cannot nest
-  buttons. Its `onPress` is the row's, so a press on non-interactive trailing content presses the
-  row; a button inside it wins its own press because only the innermost pressable responds.
-- A new-API item renders from the current route's host, else the host remembered under
-  `pluginScreensHostKey(pluginId)`, which the screen's host switcher and the item's `openScreen`
-  set. One key per plugin: switching host on any of its screens moves all its items.
-- `addSurface`, `openSurface`, and `addSidebarItem` are undocumented aliases, tagged
-  `COMPAT(pluginSidebarAliases)`. `addSidebarItem` is recorded only in `legacySidebarItems` and
-  groups as a `legacy` sidebar group, which the app draws as its own row: its registered icon, in
-  the sidebar and in Settings > Sidebar, opening `/plugin/<id>/sidebar/<item>` on the host it
-  remembers under its own key. It shares header ids and the `plugin:<pluginId>:<id>` settings key
-  with new-API items.
-
-## Contribute buttons
-
-Header buttons and composer pills share the client-only descriptor and registration lifecycle in
-`packages/app/src/plugins/buttons/`. The [public button reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#header-buttons)
-owns the author API and placement rules. Keep presentation policy in this module so another
-placement can reuse behavior without copying registration or action state.
-
-Native sheets teleport their children. Button surfaces rebuild the installation's SDK, state,
-query, and toast providers inside the surface content, including overflow pages from different
-plugins. Providers only around the trigger do not reach those bodies.
-
-Request observation with `client.paseo.agents.list({ subscribe: {} })` and consume the returned
-`subscription` handle. Plain `list()` and agent/workspace directory `.subscribe(handler)` listeners create no daemon
-demand. Provider and project `subscribe()` calls establish their own demand. On capable daemons, each
-list-and-subscribe call has its own server ID, even for the same query. Older daemons retain
-[shared delivery behavior](protocol-compatibility.md#owned-observations). Handle snapshots
-also run after reconnect; replace your view before applying its subsequent updates. The installation
-owns every observation created through its API and releases them on unload, including setup failure.
-Mounted surfaces and command invocations have shorter API lifetimes.
-
-Keep the client entry synchronous: return its cleanup function immediately and start asynchronous
-work inside it. See the maintained [composer pill example](../plugin-examples/local-plugin/client/main.tsx).
-
-## Contribute timeline items
-
-Timeline transformers and renderers are client contributions. The daemon's canonical rows and
-built-in projection stay unchanged. The app transforms each source item while building the render
-model, for both fetched history and live events, before native Markdown splitting and Overview
-tool grouping. Assistant callbacks receive the accumulated source text, never display fragments.
-Live assistant messages use `phase: "streaming"`; committing to history makes them `"complete"`.
-Paseo memoizes by source-item reference and phase and derives replacement IDs from source identity, so
-streaming updates preserve mounted component identity.
-
-`query.itemType` selects one public `AgentTimelineItem.type`. The callback owns any detailed
-recognition and returns plain plugin item objects. `undefined` keeps the source item, `items`
-replaces it, and an empty array removes it. Output `data` must be JSON-compatible. Paseo adds the
-runtime plugin ID, preserves the source timeline cursor and identity, validates renderer data with
-its Zod schema, and mounts the component inside the normal plugin runtime and error boundary. An
-optional output `id` distinguishes several stable replacements from the same source item; its output
-index is the default.
-
-Transformers run synchronously and must be deterministic. When several transformers match, the
-first one that returns a result owns that source item. Plugin and registration ordering is stable.
-See `plugin-examples/timeline-items` for the complete contract.
-
-A plugin subprocess can also append a canonical plugin row from a server handler:
-
-```ts
-await paseo.agents.ref(agentId).timeline.append({
-  type: "plugin",
-  id: "review",
-  kind: "review-result",
-  version: 1,
-  data: { status: "ready" },
-});
-```
-
-The daemon stamps the runtime `pluginId`; plugin code never supplies it. Reusing the same `id`
-replaces the previous row from that plugin on live clients and fresh timeline fetches. Rows live in
-the daemon's in-memory timeline and survive scroll, refetch, and reconnect, but not a daemon
-restart. A row without an installed renderer shows an unavailable placeholder. Serialized `data`
-must be at most 64 KiB; the daemon rejects a larger append instead of storing a payload that cannot
-be rendered intact. The daemon advertises this RPC through
-`server_info.features.pluginTimelineItems`.
-
-## Contribute client slash commands
-
-`addSlashCommand` registers an agent- or workspace-context command in the composer. The
-callback runs in the app, receives the trimmed text after the command name as `args`, and receives
-the same `paseo`, `rpc`, `openScreen`, workspace, agent, and `openPanel` capabilities as the matching
-Command Center callback.
-
-```ts
-client.addSlashCommand({
-  name: "review",
-  description: "Run the review bot",
-  argumentHint: "[scope]",
-  context: "agent",
-  async onSubmit({ args, agent, rpc }) {
-    await rpc(startReview, { agentId: agent.id, scope: args });
-  },
-});
-```
-
-Paseo owns the autocomplete row, input clearing, and error toast. It never sends the command text to
-the agent. Built-in client commands win name and alias collisions, plugin commands win
-provider-command collisions, and the first plugin in stable catalog order wins collisions between
-plugins. Plugin slash commands do not run when the composer has attachments.
-
-## Contribute composer attachments
-
-Register a declarative attachment source backed by a plugin RPC. Paseo owns the attachment menu,
-search picker, drafts, selected pill, and submission. The plugin returns complete text snapshots;
-credentials and vendor API calls stay in the daemon handler.
-
-```ts
-// index.server.ts
-import type { PluginServerContext } from "@getpaseo/plugin/server";
-import { search } from "./server/issues";
-import { searchIssues } from "./shared/issues";
-
-export default function contribute(server: PluginServerContext) {
-  server.handle(searchIssues, search);
-  return () => {};
-}
-```
-
-```tsx
-// index.client.tsx
-import type { PluginClientContext } from "@getpaseo/plugin/client";
-import { issues } from "./shared/issues";
-
-export default function contribute(client: PluginClientContext) {
-  client.addAttachmentSource(issues);
-  return () => {};
-}
-```
-
-Attachment sources stay scoped to the composer's host. Unlike sidebar contributions, equal sources
-on several hosts are not coalesced. The selected snapshot submits as a text attachment with neutral
-external-resource presentation, so it remains readable if the plugin is removed or an older peer
-drops the optional presentation fields.
-
-## Contribute settings
-
-Register ordinary components with `client.addSettingsScreen` and open them with `openSettings`.
-The host settings shell owns navigation and layout; plugin content must not add another page
-scroll view or header. See the [author contract](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#settings-screens)
-and `plugin-examples/settings` for the named UI components and persistence API.
-
-Settings storage is scoped to the runtime installation ID, never the source path or manifest ID.
-Its writer lives with the plugin subprocess, while its directory lives outside managed sources,
-so updates and reloads retain values. Settings-change notifications must not enter the catalog
-reload path: that path disposes the plugin and would destroy open drafts after every save.
-
-`server.registerSettings(definition)` returns a server-side handle. Use `read()` for the current
-`ready` or `invalid` state and `subscribe()` for successful saves, resets, and migrations. The
-subscription cleanup belongs in the plugin's contribution cleanup when it outlives the entry.
-
-## Contribute a theme
-
-`addTheme` takes a small light or dark palette and a display name. Paseo expands it through the
-same semantic builders as the built-in themes, so plugins do not depend on the complete app token
-contract. Unistyles needs every theme name at `StyleSheet.configure` time, so
-`packages/app/src/styles/theme.ts` reserves one light and one dark plugin slot. The appearance
-provider rewrites the matching slot when the selection changes. See [unistyles.md](unistyles.md)
-for the runtime-patching rules the appearance settings share.
-
-`addTheme` is a client registration and belongs in `index.client.tsx`. A client that predates it
-cannot evaluate that entry. Daemons advertise
-`features.pluginThemes` in `server_info`; the plugin theme catalog is the one place the app reads it, and
-a host without it contributes no themes.
-
-The selection persists as `theme: "plugin"` plus a `pluginThemeId` of `<pluginId>/theme/<themeId>`,
-so equal themes on several hosts coalesce the way sidebar contributions do. Two hosts can answer
-that id with different palettes, so picking a theme records its host through
-`rememberPluginContributionHost` and resolution prefers it; a peer connecting or dropping then does
-not repaint the app. Without a preference the sorted registry snapshot decides, so the result is
-stable rather than arrival-ordered. The app resolves that id
-against the installed catalog on every change; an id nothing contributes falls back to the default
-preference instead of painting the reserved slot's placeholder colors.
-
-Existing plugin authors should follow the standalone [v0.8 runtime-entry migration guide](../public-docs/plugins/migration.md).
-
-See `plugin-examples/local-plugin` for a native surface, `plugin-examples/linear` for a complete
-attachment-source example, `plugin-examples/timeline-items` for timeline projection, and
-`plugin-examples/catppuccin` for a theme.

 # Product
 
-Paseo is an environment for running, monitoring, and interacting with coding agents across desktop, mobile, web, and the command line.
+What Paseo is, who it's for, and where it's going.
 
-**Paseo has a lean, opinionated core built to be extended.** It should be easy to start using and leave room for people to build far beyond the default experience.
+## What is Paseo
 
-## Agents are the focus
+Paseo is a next-generation development environment built around agents. One interface to run, monitor, and interact with coding agents across desktop, mobile, terminal, and web.
 
-The central workflow is giving an agent a task, understanding what it is doing, providing direction, and reviewing the result. Files, terminals, diffs, and other supporting tools help you do that.
+The development workflow is shifting from manually editing files to orchestrating agents that do the editing. Paseo is built for that workflow.
 
-Paseo should make this workflow coherent across providers and devices. You should be able to use the agent that fits a task and keep working from another device without rebuilding your environment around it.
+## Core philosophy
 
-This is the basis for product decisions. A familiar feature from another development tool earns its place by improving that experience. Familiarity alone does not make it a requirement for Paseo.
+Freedom and flexibility. Every design decision follows from this:
 
-## A low floor and a high ceiling
+- **Multi-provider** — Use any coding agent harness. Pick the right model for each job, switch freely as the landscape shifts. No vendor-lock in.
+- **Cross-device** — Desktop, mobile, web, CLI. Start work at your desk, check progress from your phone, script from the terminal.
+- **Self-hosted** — The daemon runs on your machine. Your code, your keys, your environment. No inference markup, no cloud dependency.
+- **Respectful** - No telemetry, no forced cloud, no forced accounts
+- **Open source** — AGPL-3.0. Users can inspect, fork, and contribute.
+- **BYOK** — Bring your own keys. Use your subsidized plans and first-party provider pricing. Paseo adds zero cost on top.
 
-### Easy to start
+## How it works
 
-The default experience should be lean, polished, and understandable to someone who has never run a server or configured a VPN.
+### Projects and workspaces
 
-With a supported coding agent installed and authenticated, you can open the desktop app and start working. The app manages its local daemon. To connect your phone through the optional Paseo relay, enable pairing and scan a QR code. You do not need to configure a VPN or understand the networking behind it.
+Projects are grouped in the sidebar, detected automatically from your filesystem and tagged by git remote when available.
 
-You should not need to know that plugins exist to get a useful, complete experience. Extra capability should become discoverable when it helps with something you want to do.
+Each project opens as a workspace. For git projects, the default workspace is the main checkout. Users can create additional workspaces, which are isolated copies (git worktrees) where agents work without affecting main.
 
-Keeping this starting point approachable is an ongoing responsibility. A technically correct feature can still make the product harder to understand through extra choices, controls, or setup.
+### Inside a workspace
 
-### Room to build your own setup
+A workspace is a flexible canvas:
 
-The same product should also work for someone running agents on a home server, using their own network, or building an automated workflow.
+- Launch multiple agents side by side in split panes
+- Open terminals alongside agents
+- Mix and match providers within the same workspace
 
-The daemon can run independently of the desktop app. Clients connect to it locally or remotely, and multiple clients can use the same daemon. This separation lets you choose where the work runs and how you interact with it.
+### The daemon
 
-For example, someone can use the relay to connect their phone with minimal setup. Someone else can run a daemon on their own infrastructure and connect through SSH or a VPN. Both use the same underlying system.
+Paseo is a client-server system. The daemon (Node.js) runs on your machine, manages agent processes, and streams output in real time over WebSocket. Clients connect to the daemon — locally or remotely.
 
-Paseo should provide useful defaults while keeping these choices available. You should not have to adopt every part of the system to benefit from the parts you want.
+This architecture means:
 
-See the [connectivity guide](https://paseo.sh/docs/connectivity) for supported connection methods and [architecture](architecture.md) for the system design.
+- The daemon can run on any machine: laptop, VM, remote server
+- Multiple clients can connect simultaneously
+- Agents keep running when you close the app
 
-## Freedom, ownership, and privacy
+## Target user
 
-Paseo's flexibility depends on keeping control with the user:
+Anyone who builds software:
 
-- **Self-hosted:** Run agents on your own machines, with your own environment, files, and credentials.
-- **Provider choice:** Use supported agent harnesses and extend provider support through plugins. Your workflow should be able to evolve as your choice of provider changes.
-- **Cross-device:** Use desktop, mobile, web, and CLI clients according to the situation.
-- **Privacy:** No Paseo telemetry, tracking, or forced account. The relay is optional and end-to-end encrypted.
-- **Open source:** Paseo is Apache-2.0 licensed. You can inspect it, modify it, and build on it.
+- Care about owning their tools and their data
+- Use multiple AI providers and want to switch freely
+- Run agents on real tasks across real projects
+- Want to work from multiple devices
 
-Convenience and ownership should work together. Offering a straightforward way to connect should preserve the option to operate your own setup.
+## What compounds over time
 
-## A lean core that keeps improving
+- **Trust** — Showing up daily, shipping in public, being open source. Earned slowly, lost quickly.
+- **Community contributions** — Code, packaging, skills, agent configs. Contributors become advocates.
+- **Ecosystem** — Skills, integrations, shared configs. Community-built content that makes the platform more valuable.
 
-The core provides the shared experience: starting work, interacting with agents, understanding their state, and moving between workspaces and devices.
+## Strategic bets
 
-Core development continues through improvements to reliability, performance, interaction design, and workflows with broad value. A lean core takes ongoing work.
+1. **Models commoditize.** Value moves to the orchestration layer. The best model changes monthly — the workflow layer stays.
+2. **Multi-provider wins.** No single provider stays on top. Developers want the best model for each task.
+3. **The daemon as infrastructure.** Server/client architecture enables deployment anywhere.
+4. **Open source outlasts funding.** Open source communities are resilient. Contributors become advocates.
 
-Every addition also has a lasting cost. It needs a place in the interface, an understandable relationship with existing behavior, testing across affected platforms, and maintenance as the rest of the product changes. A feature can work exactly as intended and still be the wrong addition.
+## Current state (May 2026)
 
-The preference is for a small number of well-shaped capabilities that work together. Before adding a specialized workflow, consider whether an existing capability can serve it or whether a reusable extension point would let people build it themselves.
-
-The boundary can evolve. Some built-in capabilities may eventually make more sense as plugins. Any such move needs to preserve a coherent default experience and account for people who already depend on it.
-
-## Extensibility and composition
-
-Plugins are a central part of how Paseo gains capability.
-
-Someone who needs a different agent provider, a specialized workspace panel, or a custom command should be able to build and share it independently. They can make the choices that fit their users and maintain the integration on their own schedule.
-
-Paseo's role is to provide interfaces that make those contributions possible across the daemon and connected clients. The [plugin documentation](https://paseo.sh/docs/plugins) describes what each released API supports.
-
-The [SDK](https://paseo.sh/docs/sdk) lets applications and services use the daemon directly. A separate dashboard, automation service, or client can build on the same agent infrastructure. Those projects do not all need to become features of the main app.
-
-Composition means useful pieces can be combined in ways the maintainer did not have to predict. Keeping the daemon independent, offering multiple connection methods, and exposing agent operations through APIs gives people room to choose those combinations.
-
-The extension interfaces need the same care as the core experience. They should be understandable, reusable, and maintainable. New extension points should follow concrete workflows that need them.
-
-## How Paseo develops
-
-Product, design, architecture, and workflow decisions remain with the maintainer.
-
-Those decisions draw on the history of the product: why a workflow has its current shape, what previous approaches taught us, how it interacts with the rest of the system, and where it is intended to go. Documentation shares that context, but familiarity also develops through sustained use and maintenance.
-
-Development starts with the smallest useful change that can make a substantial difference. After shipping it, leave room to learn:
-
-- Can people discover and understand it?
-- Does it work well in their actual workflows?
-- What friction or missing capability appears with repeated use?
-- Does the next addition improve the shared experience or belong in a plugin?
-
-That feedback guides the next step. Expanding a workflow too far before people use it creates commitments that are difficult to reverse. Users build habits and integrations around what ships, so removing features or changing interfaces has a real cost.
-
-Writing an implementation is one part of this process. Product judgment, design, QA, review, and learning from use determine how quickly a change can responsibly become part of Paseo.
-
-## An ecosystem people can build on
-
-People contribute through reproducible bug reports, testing, workflow discussions, documentation, plugins, integrations, and helping each other.
-
-A plugin can solve a problem for its users without adding that workflow to everyone's default experience. An alternative client can explore a different interface while using the same daemon. These projects let people take ownership of the experience they want.
-
-The aim is an ecosystem that can develop independently of the maintainer's ability to review core changes. Its value comes from useful things people build, maintain, and share.
-
-Paseo is an independent project. Sustainable development, a coherent product, and the freedom to keep building are priorities. See [Contributing](../CONTRIBUTING.md) for how to participate.

-# Protocol Compatibility
-
-The app and the daemon are separate products that ship separately. A user updates the app from an app store or a desktop auto-update; they update the daemon when they feel like it. Every combination happens in the wild: new app against an old daemon, old app against a new daemon, and both sides months apart.
-
-In development both sides are always the same version, which is why this is the constraint contributors miss most often.
-
-Two contracts follow from it.
-
-## The protocol contract: always compatible
-
-A schema change must not break parsing in either direction. An old app still parses messages from a new daemon. A new daemon still parses messages from an old app.
-
-`hello` carries an optional credential. The daemon accepts a client protocol version from its minimum through newer client versions, selects the lower of client and daemon maximum, and reports it as optional `server_info.protocolVersion`. A `hello.rejected` frame precedes an auth close only when the client sent `hello.auth` or advertised `hello_rejection`; older clients receive the existing WebSocket close code and reason. This avoids sending them a new top-level message their validator does not recognize.
-
-- New fields are `.optional()` with a sensible default.
-- Never flip optional to required, remove a field, or narrow a type. `string` to `enum` and nullable to non-null are both narrowing.
-- A field you stop sending stays accepted. You stop writing it, you don't stop reading it.
-- Wire schemas are pure structural declarations. No `.transform()`, `.catch()`, or `.preprocess()` on WebSocket message schemas — normalization happens in an explicit pass after validation. The reason is in [protocol-validation.md](protocol-validation.md): inbound validators are generated, and the generator only compiles pure schemas.
-- Plain `z.union()` is forbidden when every branch shares a literal tag. Use `z.discriminatedUnion()`.
-- `.default()` belongs on primitive leaves only, never on item schemas inside large arrays or big inbound containers.
-
-Two questions to ask before you commit a schema change:
-
-1. Does a six-month-old app still parse this message?
-2. Does a six-month-old daemon still send something this app accepts?
-
-If you can't answer both with yes, the change isn't done.
-
-Schemas live in `packages/protocol/src/messages.ts`. New RPC names follow [rpc-namespacing.md](rpc-namespacing.md).
-
-## The feature contract: per feature, gated once
-
-Features don't have to work across versions. A new feature usually needs a new daemon capability, and old daemons don't have it.
-
-The app checks for the capability and either runs the feature or tells the user to update the host.
-
-- **No fallback paths.** Don't build a degraded version of the feature for old daemons. Don't fan out across legacy RPCs to simulate a capability that isn't there. The user updates or doesn't get the feature.
-- **No defensive branches spread through the feature.** Detection happens in one place, and everything downstream reads a clean shape.
-- Capability flags live in `features` on the `server_info` message (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts`, the `server_info` schema).
-
-Existing functionality keeps working across versions because of the protocol contract. Gating a new feature never substitutes for that.
-
-## Client capability ownership
-
-The client package advertises the protocol behavior it implements. Add each new capability to
-its exhaustive defaults and implement the associated subscription or decoding behavior there.
-The app, CLI, and plugins inherit those defaults; they supply only host resources such as browser
-automation, or explicit overrides. A schema accepting a message does not establish support for
-its delivery semantics.
-
-On capable daemons, connecting creates no timeline or event demand. Client subscriptions own their network membership,
-release it on unsubscribe, and restore it after reconnect. Raw message observers inspect traffic
-without requesting streams. Application caches and which agents are visible remain caller-owned.
-
-## Owned observations
-
-`owned_subscriptions` and `server_info.features.ownedSubscriptions` negotiate the source-owned
-contract described in [architecture](architecture.md#websocket-protocol). The client selects delivery
-behavior once at its connection boundary. App workflows use the same observation interface on both.
-
-With an older daemon, the client uses the existing connection and legacy RPCs. Directory subscriptions
-remain shared and last-query-wins. Local handle IDs identify listeners; they do not promise independent
-server filters. Timeline and event membership retain their existing shared behavior. Releasing a handle
-detaches its listener and uses the old unsubscribe operation where one exists. Broadcast-only hosts keep
-broadcasting; readiness there means local attachment, not a daemon acknowledgement. No extra sockets
-or multiplexing emulation are introduced.
-
-Preserve established workflows when changing delivery internals. Independent filters and quiet
-connections require a capable daemon; opening the app, reading history and using terminals do not.
-Pre-registry workspace grouping and legacy event normalization belong inside the client boundary.
-
-Old clients keep their existing wire shapes and slot behavior at the daemon's source boundary.
-The adapter keys legacy slots by physical socket, so an old connection cannot replace a modern
-sibling's observation even when both use the same logical client ID. Optional wire IDs stay accepted
-for parsing compatibility; modern requests cannot select their subscription ID.
-
-## Every shim is tagged and dated
-
-A shim that exists for old-app or old-daemon support carries a comment naming it, the version it arrived in, and when it can go:
-
-```ts
-// COMPAT(workspaceFileEditing): added in v0.2.0, remove after 2027-01-18 once daemon floor >= v0.2.0.
-```
-
-`rg "COMPAT\("` is the full cleanup backlog, so:
-
-- One tag per shim, at the site that has to be deleted.
-- Give it a name, a version, and a removal condition or date. Six months out is the usual default.
-- Never bury compatibility in an untagged `??` fallback or an optional-chain tunnel. Untagged back-compat never gets removed, because nobody can find it.
-
-When a tag's condition is met, delete the shim and the tag in the same change.
-
-## QA
-
-Tests don't fully cover compatibility. If you touched `packages/protocol`, say in the pull request why an older app still parses your message and why an older daemon still satisfies your app. See [qa.md](qa.md).

-# 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.

 # Adding a New Provider to Paseo
 
-Add new providers through the plugin SDK. The core adapter patterns below describe the existing
-server integrations.
+This guide walks through adding a new agent provider end-to-end. There are two integration patterns, and this doc covers both.
 
-## Plugin providers
-
-Keep a bundled provider in `plugins/<id>/` and register it through
-`@getpaseo/plugin/server/provider`. Antigravity and Muse Code follow this pattern. Built-in loading and SDK
-import rules belong to [plugins.md](plugins.md#built-in-plugins); the
-[public provider guide](../public-docs/plugins/providers.md) covers the provider contract.
-
-The plugin owns the CLI transport, session state, catalog, and capabilities. Launch CLI transports
-and probes through the [SDK process helpers](../public-docs/plugins/providers.md#launch-the-provider-cli),
-which share Windows launcher handling with core providers. The daemon owns
-executable resolution and applies `agents.providers.<provider-id>.command` and `env` before
-connecting. Register the provider's icon with the plugin rather than adding it to the app's
-provider icon map. You do not need a core manifest entry or provider factory.
-

-## Provider-native session options
-
-The provider owns validation and application of the opaque record in
-`AgentSessionConfig.providerOptions`. The registry supplies the effective options
-at session startup. See [provider configuration](custom-providers.md#provider-options)
-for defaults and merge rules, and the [SDK guide](../public-docs/sdk/provider-options.md)
-for native keys and examples.
-
-Exact MCP preapproval is a separate daemon-owned contract. A new provider must fail
-closed for Hub unattended execution until it can approve one exact injected MCP
-server and tool identity without approving native tools.
-
-## Core adapter patterns
+## Two Integration Patterns
 
 ### ACP (Agent Client Protocol) -- recommended
 
@@ -42,157 +10,41 @@ 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.
-
-ACP permission options are rendered as ordered actions and Paseo returns the selected option's exact `optionId`. Agents can therefore encode a single-choice question as multiple options of the same allow kind. Auto-accept does not resolve those chooser requests; they always wait for the user.
-
-ACP shims can own model discovery through `catalogModelResolver`; the shared client owns the probe
-process and refresh deadline. Keep vendor RPCs in the shim. Cursor uses
-`cursor/list_available_models` because switching models during discovery writes its saved CLI
-preferences and selection history. Cursor versions without that extension must be updated. Kimi
-still probes model selections in its own shim. The initial session supplies modes and the current
-model; it does not override the model list returned by a resolver.
-
 ### 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.
 
-Core direct providers: `claude` (in `providers/claude/agent.ts`), `codex` (`codex-app-server-agent.ts`), `opencode` (`opencode/runtime-client.ts`), `pi` (`providers/pi/agent.ts`), and `omp` (`providers/omp/agent.ts`). 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. The daemon resolves `agents.providers.<provider>.paseoTools` by the exact provider ID. The catalog policy belongs to the caller: it filters the tools exposed to the current agent. When that agent calls `create_agent`, the child receives the policy for the child provider ID; the caller's policy is not inherited.
-
-A provider that can register runtime tools directly should set `supportsNativePaseoTools: true` and consume the already-filtered `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`; the MCP server builds the same policy-filtered catalog for that caller. Filtering is enforced at catalog registration in both paths. Browser tools remain subject to the daemon browser-tools setting and browser-host availability.
+Existing direct providers: `claude` (in `providers/claude/agent.ts`), `codex` (`codex-app-server-agent.ts`), `opencode` (`opencode-agent.ts`), `pi` (`providers/pi/agent.ts`). The dev-only `mock` provider (`mock-load-test-agent.ts`) is also direct.
 
 Pi is a process-backed provider. Paseo requires the user to have the `pi` binary installed and talks to it through `pi --mode rpc`; the server package does not embed Pi's SDK/runtime packages.
 
-Pi extension adapters live under `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/pi/extensions/<extension>/`. Each adapter turns Pi RPC facts into Paseo tool, timeline, subagent, or question mappings through the [extension contract](../packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/pi/extensions/contract.ts). To add one, create its directory, add one entry to `extensions/registry.ts`, and test it with fixtures captured from the real extension in Pi that record package, version, source commit, Pi version, and capture date. `agent.ts`, `history-mapper.ts`, and `tool-call-mapper.ts` never name an extension.
+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.
 
-Paseo's per-agent and daemon-wide system prompts are appended by its generated Pi integration extension. Paseo deliberately does not pass `--append-system-prompt`, because that flag replaces Pi's automatic `APPEND_SYSTEM.md` discovery instead of composing with it.
-
-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.
-
-Probe Pi MCP support with Pi RPC `get_commands` for the agent cwd. Pi 0.99 and later ship MCP as a built-in extension, which registers an extension command named `mcp` with `sourceInfo.path` `builtin:mcp`. Register injected servers through `pi.registerMcpServer` in Paseo's generated extension; the built-in extension rejects SSE servers and names with characters other than letters, digits, `_`, and `-`, and a server of the same name in Pi's `mcp.json` takes precedence.
-
-The open-source `pi-mcp-adapter` extension replaces the built-in one and registers its own `mcp` command (often with `sourceInfo.source` containing `pi-mcp-adapter`). When it is loaded, 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 control-plane RPCs wait 60 seconds by default. Override `params.rpcTimeoutMs` when extension or MCP startup on a slow host needs more time. Timeout errors name the pending RPC phase and report both elapsed time and the configured deadline. This setting does not govern long-running Pi compaction or Pi extension UI results. See [OMP profiles and Pi-compatible forks](custom-providers.md#omp-profiles-and-pi-compatible-forks) for OMP startup and RPC deadlines.
+Pi MCP support depends on the open-source `pi-mcp-adapter` extension being loaded for the agent cwd. Probe with Pi RPC `get_commands`; the adapter registers an extension command named `mcp` (often with `sourceInfo.source` containing `pi-mcp-adapter`). When Paseo injects MCP servers into Pi, write a per-agent MCP config and pass it with `--mcp-config` instead of modifying user or project MCP files. For local HTTP servers such as Paseo's own `/mcp/agents` endpoint, explicitly disable adapter OAuth (`auth: false`, `oauth: false`) in the generated config.
 
 Pi import discovery reads Pi's persisted JSONL session files because Pi RPC does not expose a recent-session listing command. Resume and full history hydration still go through `pi --mode rpc` using the session file as `nativeHandle`.
 
-OMP is a first-class built-in provider, disabled by default. Its launch contract, typed runtime, agent/session behavior, history, permissions, imports, and test fake live under `providers/omp/`; only the provider-neutral JSONL child-process transport is shared with Pi. It launches `omp --mode rpc-ui`, uses OMP's `get_available_commands` RPC for slash-command discovery, bridges OMP `rpc-ui` approval dialogs into Paseo permissions, and imports terminal-started sessions from `~/.omp/agent/sessions` when enabled.
-
-OMP supports native Paseo host tools. The adapter registers the full caller-scoped Paseo tool catalog directly with OMP, matching providers such as Claude that expose the full catalog through MCP. Serialize every OMP host definition with `loadMode: "essential"` so `create_agent`, `send_agent_prompt`, `wait_for_agent`, and related tools remain direct calls; omitting the field makes OMP mount non-built-in names under `xd://` instead. OMP's provider-managed task subagents are surfaced as Paseo subagents through `child_session` imports; the parent keeps the subagents track while the child runtime stays owned by OMP. Custom OMP profiles should extend `omp`; other Pi-compatible forks can still extend `pi`, override `command`, and set `params.sessionDir` to their JSONL session directory.
-
 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 adapters target v1.14.46 and v2.0.10. V2 rejects binaries older than the tested 2.0.10 SDK at runtime selection. Runtime selection uses the configured command and environment. A recognized version is cached until provider configuration reload; a failed, timed-out, or unrecognized probe retains the v1 path and retries detection on the next operation. Load v2 code and materialize its plugin only after positive v2 selection; v1 sessions remain undecorated. Keep upstream SDK types inside the version-specific adapter. OpenCode owns storage migration; a missing native session must fail resume rather than create a replacement. V2 has no native archive/unarchive operation: archiving affects Paseo only. V1 retains native archiving.
-
-Use OpenCode v2 execution events to trigger turn completion, with active-state and durable-log reconciliation after admission, reconnect, and while a turn remains active. Do not use `session.wait`: a healthy turn exceeding Node's HTTP headers deadline produces a transport error while OpenCode keeps working. The live event feed has no replay, and shutdown interruption preserves the previous idle outcome, so the session snapshot alone cannot recover missed execution events. Quiet streams are healthy: v2 heartbeats are SSE comments, not application events.
-
-V2.0.4 also removed the activation endpoint that gated a cold location, and a cold location registers its config-derived commands, skills, and providers asynchronously. Wait until `plugin.list` returns a populated inventory before reading the catalog or commands; an empty inventory means the location is still warming. Fail when the readiness deadline expires, including when an inventory request stalls.
-
-Paseo installs its OpenCode tool bridge through `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT`. V1 accepts a plugin file; v2 silently skips configured files and requires a package directory with a server entry point. Both versions use the daemon's private loopback bridge for caller-scoped tools. Bridge context lives only in daemon memory and is removed when the Paseo session closes. The content-addressed plugin artifacts contain no session data or secrets. V2 also needs this plugin when native Paseo tools are disabled: its prompt API has no structured-output format, so the plugin supplies a schema-validated final-answer tool.
-
-An agent with custom environment variables or user-configured MCP servers gets a dedicated OpenCode server. V2 supports session environment, but its MCP configuration remains location-scoped, so separate servers still prevent one agent from changing another agent's MCP setup. Configure custom MCP with `mcp.add`; do not follow it with `mcp.connect`, which only toggles config-backed servers.
+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.
 
-`AgentManager` owns the one canonical timeline row for a foreground prompt carrying a Paseo `clientMessageId`. It records that row when `startTurn` accepts, with the wire `messageId` set to the same value. Provider adapters still emit their native user-message echo with the same `clientMessageId` when available; the manager records its provider identity on the internal row without changing or redispatching the wire item. If an adapter emits the echo before `startTurn` resolves, the manager records the provider identity with the row at acceptance. Provider adapters continue to own externally initiated user rows that have no Paseo client identity. Do not perform global transcript text dedupe.
-
-Active-turn steering is an optional `AgentSession.steerActiveTurn` operation. The manager owns admission against its exact foreground turn, canonical user-message creation, echo reconciliation, and falls back to the normal interrupt-and-replace path only when the adapter reports `unavailable`. An adapter error leaves the steer's fate ambiguous and must surface without an interrupt or retry. Codex calls `turn/steer` with the native expected turn and Paseo client user-message ID. Claude pushes an admitted steer into the exact active SDK query input; isolated control commands remain unavailable. OpenCode calls `session/prompt_async` with an OpenCode-generated message ID; the server queues the prompt while busy and the next LLM call in the same Paseo turn includes it. Pi sends its native `steer` RPC, which queues the message for delivery after the in-flight assistant turn's tool calls. Slash-command inputs report `unavailable` because pi rejects extension commands on the steer path, and echo identity is correlated by message text because pi's steer RPC takes no message ID. A missing session reports `unavailable` and uses the normal interrupt fallback.
-
-A steering adapter also owes its interrupt: stopping a turn must discard the steers the provider has not read yet, or one of them resumes the turn the user just stopped. Codex clears pending input when it aborts a turn; Claude does not, so its adapter cancels the SDK messages it queued before calling `query.interrupt()`. Pi requires `clear_queue` before `abort`; older binaries without that RPC retain their native queue behavior until the pi compatibility floor reaches 0.84.4.
-
-`SteerActiveTurnOptions.clearPendingPermissions` makes permission release part of the provider contract. A provider that accepts such a steer queues it first, denies permissions blocking its delivery, and stops once the steer is read. Steers without the flag leave permissions open. A denied plan remains in the timeline because the pending card was the only other copy of its text.
-
-Rewind accepts the canonical wire `messageId` and resolves it to the provider identity before calling the adapter. A submitted prompt cannot be rewound until its provider echo supplies that identity.
-
-Submitted user-message wire items carry the same Paseo ID in `messageId` and `clientMessageId`. Provider adapters attach `clientMessageId` only to the echo for that foreground submission; provider history and externally initiated user rows do not have a Paseo client ID.
-
-Provider adapters must terminalize every transient timeline row before emitting the turn's terminal event. Codex may omit the completed `contextCompaction` item when a turn ends during compaction, so its adapter closes any pending root compaction before forwarding `turn_completed`, `turn_failed`, or `turn_canceled`. A terminal turn must never leave the client showing an operation as still loading.
-
-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 command listing and scratch-session feature listing require an explicit draft model. Do not resolve a default model through catalog discovery. A client-level `listFeatures` implementation may return features from an incomplete, model-less draft and owns which features are valid in that state.
-
-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.
+Draft metadata lookups should avoid creating provider sessions when the upstream provider has top-level APIs for that metadata. Prefer `AgentClient.listModels`, `listModes`, `listCommands`, or `listFeatures` over creating a scratch `AgentSession`; scratch sessions can show up as empty native sessions in provider import/history UIs.
 
 ---
 
 ## Provider Snapshot Refresh Contract
 
-Provider snapshots are views of the catalogues needed for a target. Before looking up cached
-results or discovery in flight, the manager calls optional `AgentClient.getCatalogCacheKey(options)`.
-The provider owns equivalence: equal keys must mean the same availability, models and modes,
-including the effective configuration and execution environment. `force` does not change identity.
-Omitting the method or returning `undefined` keeps target-specific caching. Codex and Claude's
-current host clients share across directories; configured provider identities remain isolated.
+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 key chooses storage, never execution. Availability and catalogue discovery receive the actual
-`{ scope: "global", force }` or `{ scope: "workspace", cwd, force }` request, including when another
-target can share its result. Runtime-aware adapters must use that target for both probing and key
-resolution. An explicit home-directory workspace is distinct from a semantic global request.
-Plugin callbacks follow the same contract; see [plugin providers](plugins.md#contribute-a-provider).
+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.
 
-`ProviderSnapshotManager` owns one refresh deadline per provider. The deadline starts before the
-availability check and covers that check plus the complete catalog probe. Providers that make
-multiple catalog requests must not apply this deadline separately to each request. The manager
-aborts the shared refresh signal at the deadline. Providers name active catalog operations and
-finish subprocess, server, or session cleanup before rejecting. Timeout errors list the operations
-that were still active when the deadline expired.
+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.
 
-Catalogue results stay cached by identity until explicit refresh or a change to that provider's configuration.
-Keys are resolved on each read so project configuration can select a different cached catalogue.
-Selector opening may read a loading or stale query, but does not force provider probing.
+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.
 
-Saved provider/model choices are user intent. Catalogue failure must not erase them or substitute
-another model. Creation reads the caller's host and directory directly; an earlier global snapshot
-must not settle a project form's initial selection.
-
-The server's provider keys never cross the wire. Clients advertising `provider_snapshot_references`
-receive directory-to-hash announcements; an unknown hash uses the existing snapshot request.
-The manager detaches each fresh result once and publishes its content identity with the entry;
-readers share these values read-only. Each target keeps its published snapshot until membership,
-content or discovery freshness changes. All affected targets commit before subscribers run;
-subscriber failures are logged without changing discovery or configuration outcomes.
-The session compares both sides of a committed transition under the client's current visibility
-policy and sends only visible changes. It combines result identities with the client's encoding
-and icon policy, without traversing models. Reference hashes exclude freshness;
-legacy embedded hashes include it. Only responses that send a body compact the catalogue.
-Per-provider `fetchedAt` travels separately for reference clients and still means when discovery succeeded. `generatedAt`
-remains the time the response or announcement was generated. Refresh keeps settled entries visible
-until the next result, so unchanged discovery sends freshness without another model body.
-
-The app's snapshot cache owns compact expansion and stores one body per server/hash, with separate
-directory/hash/freshness records under the same byte budget. Missing bodies share a React Query
-request; directory queries cancel superseded pulls before accepting pushes. Default SDK clients
-keep expanded entries and full updates. Only callers that own materialization opt into wire snapshots.
-Keep the full encoding for older clients; compact-snapshot support alone does not imply reference support.
-
-Settings refresh invalidates requested providers across known targets and refreshes them in their
-actual execution context, so every connected client receives the refreshed view. Discovery shares
-work by provider key and admits at most four concurrent catalogue probes per configured provider, so a stalled provider does not block discovery for others. Configuration replacement invalidates
-only changed providers; unchanged entries, clients, and discovery in flight survive. Preparation
-leaves installed reads untouched until commit. Plugin replacement uses registration runtime
-identity, so unchanged registrations and builtins keep their results. Await the refresh or warmup
-promise for completion: equal results, including equal discovery timestamps, emit no transition.
-

-## Usage sources
-
-See the [public usage source reference](../public-docs/plugins/reference.md#usage-sources) for the
-contract, account and window identity, provider-derived period names, login fallback, and
-read-only credential rules. Usage adapters own the interpretation of provider fields; the app
-renders their names and resolves pins without provider-specific duration guesses.
+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.

-**Session-scoped cancellation needs a stop boundary inside the provider.** Some agents cancel the whole session rather than one turn — OpenCode's `session.abort` is the example. A cancel that is still in flight when the next run starts will kill that replacement run, which is what makes "stop, then immediately prompt again" (`replaceRunning`, `notifyOnFinish` wakes, schedules) flaky. Own this in the provider session, not in `AgentManager`:
-
-- Model the stop as an explicit `stopping` turn-state variant carrying the canceled run's terminal and the cancellation the caller is still owed. Pressing Stop again retries the stop already in progress rather than opening a second one; never fire a detached retry, it will outlive its boundary.
-- **Scope the cancel settlement the way the provider scopes the cancel.** If cancellation is session-scoped, so is its settlement: track it on the session, accumulating every request issued, and let it outlive the stop that issued it. A request still in flight lands on the runner whenever the server gets to it — however many stops have come and gone since. Scoping it to the current stop looks right and quietly drops older requests from the gate. Only the newest may hold the gate closed, since recovering from a failed cancel is what pressing Stop again is for.
-- Gate the operations **the daemon issues** (prompt, slash command, summarize) on both the terminal and cancel settlement. Permission and question responses are not runner operations and must stay outside the gate, or an auto-approve deadlocks the stop. Runs the _provider_ starts on its own — plugin or autonomous wakes — are observed, not gated: the daemon does not choose when they begin, and holding their events back does not protect them from a cancel already in flight, it only hides a run that may already be dead.
-- Fail closed: if the cancel never succeeded you never proved the run stopped, so refuse new runs until the next Stop issues a fresh cancel. `AgentManager` already turns a rejected `interrupt()` into a refused cancel.
-- Suppress the canceled run's residue only until its authoritative terminal. Anything the provider publishes after that terminal is a new run by construction and must take the normal live path — buffering it and replaying it later is how autonomous/plugin wakes get lost.

-# QA
-
-QA is the main bottleneck of Paseo's product development.
-
-The bar is four questions:
-
-1. Does it work well?
-2. Does it regress anything else?
-3. Was it tested on every platform it affects?
-4. Is there automated coverage, and is that coverage real?
-
-Every pull request needs evidence for the questions its change touches. Pull requests without evidence get closed.
-
-For plugin changes, verify the [SDK import boundaries](plugins.md#sdk-import-boundaries) before
-exercising contributions. Include the boundary tests and both runtime loaders in the evidence.
-
-## Evidence
-
-Evidence is something someone else can look at:
-
-- The commands you ran, pasted with their output
-- The tests you added and their results
-- Before and after screenshots
-- A video of the interaction
-- Logs, requests, responses
-
-Redact what you need to, keep the technical details. If an agent did the work, submit its raw output. A summary drops the details someone else needs to check it.
-
-## Does it work well
-
-A feature that works but stutters, shifts the layout, or misaligns by two pixels is not done.
-
-For UI, that means matching the design system in visuals, in interaction, and in performance. [design.md](design.md) is the reference.
-
-The two things that go wrong most often:
-
-- **Layout shift.** Content that jumps as data arrives, a row that resizes when a badge appears, a panel that reflows on first render. Watch the change on a slow connection and on first load, not just after everything is warm.
-- **Alignment.** Things align to their glyphs, not to their touch targets. See the alignment rules in [design.md](design.md).
-
-## Does it regress anything else
-
-Paseo is composable by design, which means your change sits next to features you didn't touch. Open the surfaces around it. A change to the agent list affects archive, subagents, and tabs; a change to git actions affects worktrees and the checkout flow.
-
-Performance is part of this. The app is Expo React Native, not a web app in a native shell. You are not writing CSS, styles resolve differently, and performance characteristics differ per platform. What feels instant in a desktop dev build can be visibly slow on a phone.
-
-If your change touches a hot path such as the terminal, the message list, or git polling, submit before and after numbers. [terminal-performance.md](terminal-performance.md) has the terminal pipeline and its benchmarks, and [development.md](development.md) covers renderer and React profiling.
-
-## Every platform it affects
-
-Your code does not only run on the platform you tested it on. The same app ships to iOS, Android, browser web, and Electron on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and the daemon runs on all three desktop operating systems plus Docker.
-
-You aren't expected to own every device. You are expected to say what you covered:
-
-| Platform        | Tested | Notes |
-| --------------- | ------ | ----- |
-| iOS             |        |       |
-| Android         |        |       |
-| Web             |        |       |
-| Desktop macOS   |        |       |
-| Desktop Windows |        |       |
-| Desktop Linux   |        |       |
-
-Install what you reasonably can. An iOS simulator and an Android emulator cover most of the gap on a single machine, see [development.md](development.md) and [android.md](android.md).
-
-For the rules about which code runs where, read the platform gating section in [CLAUDE.md](../CLAUDE.md). The recurring traps have their own docs: [hover.md](hover.md), [unistyles.md](unistyles.md), [floating-panels.md](floating-panels.md), [mobile-panels.md](mobile-panels.md), [expo-router.md](expo-router.md).
-
-App and daemon versions also drift, in both directions. That has its own contract: [protocol-compatibility.md](protocol-compatibility.md).
-
-## Automated coverage that means something
-
-Tests are evidence only when they exercise the real thing.
-
-- A bug fix needs a regression test that fails on the old code for the reported reason.
-- A feature needs tests that go through the same interface a user or a caller uses.
-- Web flows need an actual Playwright run, not a mocked-out approximation of one.
-- Agent provider work needs manual verification against the real provider by someone who can tell that it worked. A fixture and a mock prove the fixture parses, nothing more.
-
-Tests that mock away the behavior, assert on internals, or pass against the broken code claim coverage that isn't there.
-
-[testing.md](testing.md) is the standard, including how to run suites without freezing your machine. For driving a real daemon in a test, see [ad-hoc-daemon-testing.md](ad-hoc-daemon-testing.md). For mobile flows, [mobile-testing.md](mobile-testing.md). For Electron screenshots, [browser-capture-harness.md](browser-capture-harness.md).

 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.
-- **ScheduleSession** (`session/schedule/schedule-session.ts`, seam `ScheduleSessionHost`): scheduled-agent request handling.
-
-**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. `start_workspace_script_request` (a workspace type) is special-cased before terminal delegation (2150).

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).
 
 Rejected alternatives: **feature-module** (free functions + wide context bag) cannot own the live state machines (workspaceUpdatesSubscription, agentUpdatesSubscription, ~25 voice fields) and adds a competing idiom; **mixin-composition** preserves the shared-`this` god object verbatim and requires widening ~325 private fields to protected.

-
-## Release source and CI
-
-The default release source is `origin/main`. Fetch `origin`, then record the
-resolved commit. The default release checkout is a clean local `main` whose
-`HEAD` equals `origin/main`.
-
-An explicit user instruction can select another ref, such as a hotfix commit or
-tag. Resolve that ref once and apply every source, diff, and CI check to that
-commit instead of `origin/main`.
-
-Before making release-preparation commits, confirm the existing CI run for the
-resolved commit is green. Pending CI is watched to completion. Release
-preparation then stays local through the changelog, any explicitly requested ACP
-catalog update, lockfile preparation, and the version commit. After approval,
-commit the prepared inputs locally and run the release command. Its branch and
-tag push is the one remote release batch and starts CI for the complete release
-commit.
-
-## Release branch discipline
-
-While you finalize a release on `main`, use a temporary `next` branch for work intended for the following
-release. This applies to both beta and stable releases.
-
-- Create each new `next` from freshly fetched `origin/main`. Reuse it while active.
-- "This goes to next" means create the PR against `next` or retarget an existing
-  PR, and keep that destination through delivery.
-- Keep `next` current by merging `origin/main` into it as release fixes land.
-  Avoid rebasing this shared branch because agents and open PRs depend on its history.
-- After the release ships, bring `next` up to date and open a `next` → `main` PR.
-  Pass CI and merge without squashing away the individual PR commits needed for
-  the changelog. Retarget remaining PRs based on `next` to `main` and delete the integrated
-  `next`. Create it fresh when needed again.
-
-**Setup still needed:** CI, Docker, and Nix PR checks currently target only `main`,
-and GitHub permits only squash merges. Enable checks and required-check protection
-for `next`, CI on its pushes, and merge commits for the integration PR. Handle PR
-base changes (`edited` events) so retargeting runs checks against the new base;
-GitHub's default PR events do not cover this. Deployment triggers stay unchanged.
-
-### Hotfix from a release tag
-
-If `main` contains changes you do not want to release, branch from the affected
-release tag and cherry-pick only the required fixes. Run CI on that branch, then
-use the normal release flow with it as the explicit source, choosing a new patch
-or beta version. Ensure the fixes and changelog also reach `main` and any active
-`next`, preserving newer development and version changes there. This is a
-short-lived hotfix branch, not another maintained release track.
-
-## ACP catalog updates
-
-ACP catalog work enters a release through an explicit user request:
-
-- **Check ACP drift** — run `npm run acp:version-drift:check`. When drift exists,
-  run `npm run acp:version-drift:update`, verify the catalog, and include the
-  update in the local release-preparation commits.

-  include the update in the local release-preparation commits.

-The release authorization covers the requested ACP commit. It ships in the same
-release push as the changelog and version commit.
 
 ## Two paths
 
-There are two supported release paths:
+There are two supported ways to ship from `main`:
 
-1. **Direct stable release**: you are ready to ship the resolved release source to everyone immediately (default `origin/main`).
-2. **Beta flow**: release candidates on the `beta` channel. Each beta folds into the series' single changelog entry, publishes npm only on the explicit `beta` dist-tag, and stays behind the Stable/Beta switch on `/download`.
+1. **Direct stable release**: you are ready to ship the current `main` commit to everyone immediately.
+2. **Beta flow**: silent release candidates. Betas don't touch the changelog, don't move the website, and don't publish npm or production mobile builds.
 
-Paseo has one linear release track even though npm dist-tags are independent
-pointers. The npm invariant is:
+## Standard release (patch)
 
-- A beta release moves only `beta`; `latest` remains on the newest stable.
-- A stable release moves both `latest` and `beta` to that stable version. This
-  keeps users who install `@getpaseo/cli@beta` on the newest Paseo release after
-  a beta is promoted or superseded by a direct stable release.
+Before running any stable patch release command:
 
-## Release version decision
-
-Every fresh release starts by classifying the full diff from the previous
-stable to the resolved release source. The highest-impact change determines the
-version:
-
-- **Minor** — a user would experience the release as a significant upgrade. This
-  includes substantial new workflows, providers, forges, platforms, integrations,
-  or meaningful expansions of existing capabilities. Foundational internal work
-  also qualifies when it materially changes reliability, performance,
-  compatibility, deployment, or operation; diff size alone does not.
-- **Patch** — fixes, polish, small enhancements, and reliability or performance
-  improvements within existing capabilities. Follow-up corrections to a minor
-  release are patches.
-
-The release agent selects patch or minor during preparation and presents the
-target version with the changelog for approval. Agents never select a major
-version autonomously. A major release requires an explicit user instruction and
-approval; Paseo remains on major version zero until that deliberate decision.
-
-Version bumps are never used to retry a failed build. Retry the existing version
-as described in **Fixing a failed release build**.
-
-## Standard release (stable)
-
-Before running any stable release command:
-
-- Make sure the resolved release source passed CI, the approved release inputs are committed locally on the intended branch, and the working tree is clean.
+- Make sure the intended release commit is already committed to `main` and the working tree is clean.
 - **Run `npm run format`, `npm run lint`, and `npm run typecheck` and commit any resulting changes BEFORE you start any `release:*` command.** `release:check` runs `npm install --workspaces --include-workspace-root` as part of `release:prepare`, which can mutate `package-lock.json` (e.g. churning `"dev": true` markers on optional deps). The next step, `version:all:*`, runs `npm version` which aborts when the working tree is dirty. If this happens mid-flight you have to commit the lockfile churn before retrying — and the pre-commit format hook will reject a lockfile-only commit because oxfmt internally skips `package-lock.json` while lefthook's glob still matches it. Avoid the whole mess by running format/lint/typecheck first, then `release:prepare` once on its own to absorb any lockfile churn into a normal commit, then start the release.
-- Do not use a release command as a substitute for checking whether the current commit is actually ready.
+- Do not use `npm run release:patch` as a substitute for checking whether the current commit is actually ready.

-# Run exactly one, matching the approved decision:

-This bumps the version across all workspaces, runs checks, publishes to npm, and pushes the branch + tag. The tag push triggers `Desktop Release`, `Android APK Release`, `Docker`, and `Release Notes Sync` on GitHub Actions. The workflows create the GitHub Release as a draft while builds and release-note sync run. EAS picks up the same tag via the EAS GitHub app and starts the iOS + Android store builds in parallel (see "Mobile builds (EAS)" below) — there is no mobile-release workflow under `.github/workflows`.

-version for every published package. This changes dist-tags only; do not
-republish the packages:
-
-```bash
-PASEO_VERSION=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")

-  npm dist-tag add "@getpaseo/$package@$PASEO_VERSION" beta
-done
-```
-
-Verify both npm tags now resolve to `PASEO_VERSION` before considering the
-stable release complete.
-
-The Docker workflow builds images from the checked-out source tree on pull requests and on `main` as non-publishing checks. Stable `vX.Y.Z` tag pushes publish `ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:X.Y.Z` and `ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest`; beta `vX.Y.Z-beta.N` tag pushes publish only `ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:X.Y.Z-beta.N` and never move `latest`.

If you find yourself reaching for `release:minor` to retrigger a failed build, you are doing the wrong thing — push a retry tag instead (see "Fixing a failed release build" below).
 
 **Stable means stable.** If the user says "stable" or "ship stable", do not ask whether they want a beta first. They picked stable; treat it as a direct stable release. Only run the beta flow when the user explicitly says "beta".

 ## Staged rollout (stable channel)
 
-Stable desktop releases go out via a linear time-based rollout for automatic update checks: 0% admitted when the updater manifests appear, 100% admitted 36 hours later, linear ramp in between. Manual checks bypass the rollout so a user can install immediately when they click **Check**. Beta releases bypass the rollout entirely — beta users always receive updates immediately.
+Stable desktop releases go out via a linear time-based rollout: 0% admitted when the updater manifests appear, 100% admitted 36 hours later, linear ramp in between. Beta releases bypass the rollout entirely — beta users always receive updates immediately.
 
 The rollout is driven by a `rolloutHours` field stamped into the GitHub Release manifests (`latest-mac.yml`, `latest-linux.yml`, `latest.yml`) by the `finalize-rollout` job in `desktop-release.yml`.
 
 Desktop release builds now publish in two phases:
 
-- The GitHub Release stays a draft while platform build jobs upload the installers/packages (`.dmg`, `.zip`, `.exe`, `.AppImage`, etc.).
-- The final job merges and stamps every channel manifest, uploads them with the final `releaseDate` and `rolloutHours`, then publishes the GitHub Release.
+- Platform build jobs upload the installers/packages (`.dmg`, `.zip`, `.exe`, `.AppImage`, etc.) to the GitHub release.
+- The final job merges/stamps the manifests and uploads all `.yml` files only after they already contain the final `releaseDate` and `rolloutHours`.
 
-Drafts do not appear in GitHub's releases feed. Updater clients continue to see the previous complete release until all three manifests are available. If a desktop build or manifest upload fails, the new release stays a draft.
+Updater clients only discover a release through those `.yml` manifests, so there is no silent 100% admission window before rollout metadata is present.

-If you ship N+1 while N is still ramping, N+1 starts a fresh rollout from its own publish timestamp. N's rollout effectively ends — the newer manifest supersedes it. Rollout-aware clients revalidate the manifest for up to five seconds before installing a downloaded update on quit. If N+1 has replaced N but the client is not admitted to N+1 yet, it skips the downloaded N and waits rather than installing two updates in succession.

-### macOS system floor
-
-The desktop app requires macOS 13 or newer. Keep both release guards when the floor changes:
-
-- `packages/desktop/electron-builder.yml` writes the macOS version to `LSMinimumSystemVersion` for new installs.
-- `scripts/merge-mac-manifest.mjs` writes the matching Darwin kernel version to `minimumSystemVersion` in the update manifest. Existing clients check this before downloading an update.
-
-macOS 13 maps to Darwin 22. The two values use different version domains; do not copy the macOS version into the update manifest.
-
 ### Limitations
 
-- **No pause / kill switch.** To stop new admissions, ship a superseding release. Clients revalidate on quit and will not install the superseded download, but a client that already completed installation cannot be recalled; ship a hotfix `+1` patch.
+- **No pause / kill switch.** Once a stable user is admitted, they will install the update on next quit (`autoInstallOnAppQuit = true`). To stop new admissions, ship a superseding release. To "recall" already-admitted users, ship a hotfix `+1` patch.
 - **No rollback.** `allowDowngrade = false`. Bad release = ship a hotfix.
 - **Bootstrap caveat.** Clients running a build older than the rollout feature ignore `rolloutHours` and admit immediately. Rollout protection only applies to clients running the rollout-aware version or later.

-that resumes the release in the current conversation. Create it automatically
-with `create_heartbeat`. The heartbeat owns the release until it either reaches
-the completion checklist or finds a failure that needs new user authority.
-
-Each heartbeat checks the release tag commit, all GitHub Actions runs for the
-release branch and tag, npm dist-tags, the GitHub Release body and assets,
-desktop updater manifests, the published Docker image, and the applicable EAS
-workflow. Inspect the GitHub Release itself and confirm that the macOS, Linux,
-Windows, and Android APK assets are present along with the channel manifests
-(`latest-mac.yml`, `latest-linux.yml`, and `latest.yml` for stable;
-`beta-mac.yml`, `beta-linux.yml`, and `beta.yml` for beta).
-
-For stable releases, also confirm every required mobile build, upload, store
-submission, and review-submission job for the release commit. For betas, confirm
-the beta EAS workflow completed its TestFlight distribution and Beta App Review
-path. Delete the heartbeat only after every applicable checklist item passes,
-then report the release as shipped.
+**Use a heartbeat schedule, never a new-agent schedule.** Babysitting fires back into the current conversation as a wake-up prompt — `target: "self"` in `mcp__paseo__create_schedule`. Never use `target: "new-agent"`. A new agent spawns a fresh conversation the user has to find and read; a heartbeat surfaces the build status inline in the conversation that owns the release, where it is impossible to miss. If you find yourself reaching for `new-agent` for a release babysit, you are about to ship a status report into a void.

For beta, require the beta TestFlight distribution and Beta App Review path. If work is pending, wait for the next heartbeat.

-- The first beta of a version inserts a top entry like `## 0.1.60-beta.1 - YYYY-MM-DD`.
-- Each subsequent beta rewrites that entry in place: the heading becomes the new beta number and date, and the body describes the full change from the previous stable release to this beta. Never add a second beta entry.
-- The entry is a list of changes, not of PRs. When a later beta reverts, reworks, or follows up on something an earlier beta added, rewrite the bullet to the current behavior or delete it. A stable user never saw the earlier beta behavior, so fixes to it are not "Fixed" bullets.
-- Anything that already shipped to stable through a patch release on an older line stays out of the beta entry.
-- Stable promotion renames the entry to `## 0.1.60 - YYYY-MM-DD` after a final review.

 ## Changelog ownership

-- **Commit history is only an index of the changes. Never draft the changelog from commit subjects or diffs alone.** For every PR in the release range, read the full PR description and every issue it links to before deciding what changed, why users care, or how changes should be grouped. Use the implementation only to verify the resulting understanding.
-- Every entry, beta or stable, is drafted from the previous stable release to the release source. For a later beta, read the PRs since the previous beta tag, then rework the existing entry so each bullet still describes current behavior. Review the result against the changelog policy below, show it to the user, and wait for approval before committing it.

-# Service Proxy
-
-Paseo proxies HTTP traffic to services running inside your workspaces. Localhost service URLs are always enabled; optional public aliases and a separate service-only listener can be layered on through config.
-
-## How it works
-
-When a `paseo.json` script of `"type": "service"` starts, Paseo assigns it a local port and registers a route in the service proxy. Incoming requests whose `Host` header matches the script's generated hostname are forwarded to that port.
-
-The generated hostname is built from the script name, branch, and project:
-
-```
-<script>--<branch>--<project>.localhost
-```
-
-If the branch is `main` or `master`, the branch segment is omitted:
-
-```
-<script>--<project>.localhost
-```
-
-**Example:** a script named `dev` in the `miniweb` project on branch `feature/auth` would be reachable at:
-
-```
-dev--feature-auth--miniweb.localhost
-```
-
-Local and public routes use one combined leftmost label (`script--branch--project`). This keeps the hostname compatible with normal single-level wildcard DNS and TLS. If the combined label would exceed DNS's 63-character label limit, Paseo truncates it with a deterministic hash suffix to avoid collisions.
-
-## Managing workspace scripts
-
-Configured `paseo.json` scripts can be managed without addressing their backing terminal directly:
-
-```bash
-paseo script ls [--cwd <path> | --workspace <workspace-id>]
-paseo script start <name> [--cwd <path> | --workspace <workspace-id>]
-paseo script stop <name> [--cwd <path> | --workspace <workspace-id>]
-```
-
-The commands return the same script metadata shown by the workspace: lifecycle, service port, proxy URLs, health, exit code, and supervised terminal ID. `stop` terminates the managed terminal rather than only removing the proxy route, so normal script lifecycle cleanup remains authoritative. MCP exposes matching `list_workspace_scripts`, `start_workspace_script`, and `stop_workspace_script` tools; those require an explicit workspace ID.
-
-## Configuration
-
-Add a `serviceProxy` block under `daemon` in `~/.paseo/config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "version": 1,
-  "daemon": {
-    "serviceProxy": {
-      "listen": "0.0.0.0:8080",
-      "publicBaseUrl": "https://paseoapps.my.domain.com"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-| Field           | Required | Description                                                                                                                                   |
-| --------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `listen`        | No       | Starts a separate service-only listener at this address. If omitted, services are still reachable on the daemon listener via localhost hosts. |
-| `publicBaseUrl` | No       | Adds public service host aliases and public service links. If omitted, links use localhost addresses only.                                    |
-
-`enabled` is accepted for old configs but no longer enables a mode. `enabled: false` suppresses optional `listen`/`publicBaseUrl` layers only; localhost service proxying remains always enabled.
-
-## DNS and reverse proxy setup
-
-For generated URLs to be reachable, you need wildcard DNS pointing to the machine running the Paseo daemon.
-
-**Example:** to expose services at `https://dev--miniweb.paseoapps.my.domain.com` where the daemon host is `10.1.1.1`:
-
-1. Configure a wildcard DNS record:
-
-   ```
-   *.paseoapps.my.domain.com  →  10.1.1.1
-   ```
-
-2. Set `publicBaseUrl` to `https://paseoapps.my.domain.com` in your config.
-
-3. If you put a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy, Traefik, etc.) in front of Paseo, point it at either the daemon listener or the optional service-only listener and ensure it forwards the `Host` header unchanged. The proxy uses the `Host` header to route requests to the correct service — rewriting it will break routing.
-
-Public service URLs expose the workspace service itself. Daemon password authentication protects daemon APIs; it does not protect proxied dev services.
-
-If the same reverse proxy serves the daemon web UI over HTTPS, it must also set `X-Forwarded-Proto` so the web UI can auto-connect with `wss://`. The daemon trusts forwarded headers from loopback proxies by default. If your proxy reaches the daemon from another address, configure the proxy ranges explicitly:
-
-```json
-{
-  "version": 1,
-  "daemon": {
-    "trustedProxies": ["loopback", "172.16.0.0/12"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-`PASEO_TRUSTED_PROXIES` accepts the same comma-separated values, for example `loopback,172.16.0.0/12`. Use `true` only when the final trusted proxy overwrites client-supplied `X-Forwarded-*` headers.
-
-Nginx example:
-
-```nginx
-server {
-    listen 443 ssl;
-    server_name *.paseoapps.my.domain.com;
-
-    location / {
-        proxy_pass http://10.1.1.1:8080;
-        proxy_set_header Host $host;
-        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Nginx's `$host` drops the port. If you terminate on a non-default port, use `$http_host` instead so the port survives — that is what "forwards the `Host` header unchanged" means here.
-
-## Forwarded headers
-
-Paseo sets these when it forwards a request to a workspace service:
-
-| Header              | Value                                                                                                                                   |
-| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `X-Forwarded-Host`  | The `Host` header verbatim, including the port when the client used one                                                                 |
-| `X-Forwarded-Proto` | The request scheme (`http` on the WebSocket upgrade path)                                                                               |
-| `X-Forwarded-For`   | The immediate peer address. Replaces any existing chain, so behind your own reverse proxy this is the proxy's address, not the client's |
-| `X-Forwarded-Port`  | The port from the `Host` header when it has one, otherwise whatever your proxy already set                                              |
-
-`X-Forwarded-Port` follows the same trust rule as `X-Forwarded-Host`: the authority Paseo observed wins. When the `Host` header carries a port, that port is reported and replaces any inbound `X-Forwarded-Port`, so a client cannot forge one. When `Host` carries no port there is nothing to observe, so a value your reverse proxy set survives untouched — that is the case where nginx's `$host` drops the port and `X-Forwarded-Port` is the only source. Paseo never derives the port from the scheme. Any other `X-Forwarded-*` header your proxy sends is passed through untouched.
-
-Services that build absolute URLs should prefer `Host` or `X-Forwarded-Host`.
-
-### The forwarded authority is not authenticated
-
-Route lookup normalizes the port away before matching a service hostname, so a client can address the daemon with any port in `Host` and still reach the service. That port is what lands in `X-Forwarded-Host` and `X-Forwarded-Port`. Paseo also does not check whether an inbound `X-Forwarded-Port` came from a proxy in `trustedProxies` — when `Host` carries no port, a client-supplied value is passed through.
-
-Treat the forwarded authority as client-influenced input. A service that builds password reset links, absolute redirects, or cached URLs from it should pin its own public origin in configuration rather than deriving one from request headers. This is not specific to `X-Forwarded-Port`: the `Host` header has always carried a client-chosen port.
-
-## Environment variables
-
-The listen address and public base URL can also be set via environment variables, which take precedence over `config.json`:
-
-| Variable                              | Description                                                               |
-| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `PASEO_SERVICE_PROXY_ENABLED`         | Compatibility shim; `false` suppresses optional public/listen layers only |
-| `PASEO_SERVICE_PROXY_LISTEN`          | Starts the optional service-only listener, e.g. `0.0.0.0:8080`            |
-| `PASEO_SERVICE_PROXY_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` | Adds public service aliases and links                                     |

-Terminal activity is source-agnostic plumbing. `TerminalActivityTracker` holds the current per-terminal state and emits transitions to the manager, worker protocol, websocket subscription, app buckets, dots, and notifications.
-
-The tracker defaults to unknown (`null`). Activity production lives outside terminal stream parsing: agent hook commands report coarse activity to the daemon's local `/api/terminal-activity` endpoint.
-
-## Architecture
-
-```
-TerminalSession
-  ├── TerminalActivityTracker               one per session
-  │     ├── set(state)                      records the latest state
-  │     └── onChange(snapshot, previous)    fires only on resolved-state transitions
-  │
-  └── onActivityChange({ activity, previous })   subscribed in TerminalManager
-        ├── emits terminalsChanged          terminal list/tab indicators only
-        └── subscribeTerminalActivity       per-transition stream for notification policy
-        └── subscribeTerminalWorkspaceContributionChanged  workspace status rollup only
-```
-
-`TerminalActivityTracker` is the single stateful object per session. It holds `{ state, changedAt }`, starts at unknown (`null`), and fires `onChange` only when the state actually changes.
-
-Terminal directory snapshots (`terminalsChanged`) and workspace contribution changes are separate concerns. A title-only change produces a terminal list snapshot but never touches workspace descriptors. A transition that changes the derived workspace bucket (e.g. idle -> working, working -> idle, attention cleared) emits both a terminal list snapshot and a server-internal `TerminalWorkspaceContributionChanged` event, which Session consumes to invalidate every active workspace sharing the owning workspace's `cwd`.
-
-### Transitions carry their own history
-
-Each `onChange` delivers both the new snapshot and the `previous` one (`{ state, changedAt }`). The transition flows unchanged up through `TerminalSession.onActivityChange` (as `{ activity, previous }`), the worker protocol's `terminalActivityChange` event, and the manager-level `subscribeTerminalActivity(listener)` stream (`{ terminalId, name, cwd, activity, previous }`).
-
-The daemon consumes these transitions, not snapshots. When a transition moves from `working` to `idle`, the tracker records finished attention, so the terminal shows the same green finished dot as an idle agent that needs review. The websocket layer also fires a "Terminal finished" attention notification. A terminal that exits while still working emits no turn-end notification.
-
-Terminal list visibility is `workspaceId`-scoped: a terminal belongs to the workspace that created it, and same-`cwd` sibling workspaces do not see it in their terminal lists. Terminal status routing starts from that owning workspace, uses the owning workspace's `cwd`, then fans the status bucket out to every active workspace with the same `cwd`.
-
-Path-prefix routing is only a legacy fallback for unowned terminal activity contribution. If a live terminal has no `workspaceId`, the daemon resolves the deepest active parent workspace from the terminal `cwd`, then fans status out to active same-`cwd` siblings of that owner. That fallback contributes status, but it does not make the terminal visible in workspace-scoped terminal lists.
-
-## Hook reporting
-
-Terminals receive four environment variables when the daemon creates the shell:
-
-- `PASEO_TERMINAL_ID`
-- `PASEO_ACTIVITY_TOKEN`
-- `PASEO_TERMINAL_ACTIVITY_URL`
-- `PASEO_HOOK_CLI` — absolute path to the current `paseo` CLI executable.
-
-The generated shell command uses `PASEO_HOOK_CLI` to run the current CLI. `paseo hooks <agent> <event>` then reads the terminal id, token, and activity URL, asks the agent hook provider registry to resolve the event to a coarse activity state, and silently posts `{ terminalId, token, state }` to the activity URL. Missing env, unsupported agents/events, malformed hook input, and daemon/network failures are no-ops so agent hooks never break the user's terminal session.
-
-Claude hook mapping:
-
-- `UserPromptSubmit` → `running`
-- `Stop`, `StopFailure`, `SessionEnd` → `idle`
-- `Notification` with `notification_type` equal to `idle_prompt` → `needs-input`
-
-Claude does not run `Stop` when the user interrupts a turn. A standalone Ctrl-C or Escape input
-while terminal activity is working clears the activity without finished attention. The same
-fallback applies to every hooked terminal agent; exact input matching excludes escape sequences and
-pasted content, while later provider idle events remain authoritative.
-
-Codex hook mapping:
-
-- `UserPromptSubmit` → `running`
-- `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse` → `running`
-- `PermissionRequest` → `needs-input`
-- `Stop` → `idle`
-
-OpenCode uses a server plugin instead of command hooks. Both generations discover the same global plugin file. Their loaders select separate entrypoints: OpenCode 1 calls `server()` with `{ type, properties }` bus events; OpenCode 2 calls `setup()` and subscribes to decoded `{ type, data }` events. Do not share their status mapping: V1 publishes `session.status` snapshots, while V2 publishes `session.execution.*` transitions.
-
-| OpenCode event                                              | Generation | Activity    |
-| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | ----------- |
-| `session.status` with `busy` or `retry`                     | 1          | running     |
-| `session.status` with `idle`                                | 1          | idle        |
-| `session.execution.started`                                 | 2          | running     |
-| `session.execution.succeeded`, `.failed`, or `.interrupted` | 2          | idle        |
-| `permission.asked`                                          | Both       | needs-input |
-| `permission.replied`                                        | Both       | running     |
-
-The plugin translates both event contracts into the existing Paseo hook events. OpenCode 2 disposes its event subscription when the plugin unloads.
-
-The daemon maps hook states onto terminal activity like an agent lifecycle plus unread attention: `running` → `state: working`, `idle` → `state: idle`, and `needs-input` → `state: idle` with `attentionReason: needs_input`. A `working` → `idle` transition records `state: idle` with `attentionReason: finished` until the user focuses that terminal; plain idle terminals still contribute no workspace status.
-
-## Focus clearing
-
-Client heartbeats include the focused terminal id. When a visible client focuses a terminal with an `attentionReason`, the daemon clears the attention and leaves the terminal idle. Plain idle terminal activity does not contribute to workspace status, so a workspace whose only attention source was that terminal rolls up from `needs_input` or `attention` back to `done`.
-
-### Agent hook installation
-
-Installing hooks edits the user's real agent config files, so it is opt-in. The daemon setting
-`enableTerminalAgentHooks` (persisted under `daemon.enableTerminalAgentHooks`, default `false`)
-gates installation. It is surfaced in the app under a host's **Terminals** settings as "Enable
-terminal agent hooks" — "Get notifications and status from terminal agents. This installs hooks in
-your agent config files." `applyTerminalAgentHookSetting` reconciles the installed hooks with the
-setting: at startup it installs only when enabled; toggling the setting live installs on enable and
-removes Paseo's marker-matched hooks on disable. `paseo hooks` keeps working regardless — the gate
-only controls whether the daemon writes hooks into agent configs, not whether the CLI can post
-activity when the env is present.
-
-When enabled, Paseo installs provider hooks globally:
-
-- Claude hooks are written to `~/.claude/settings.json` (or `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/settings.json` when that override is set).
-- Codex hooks are written to `~/.codex/hooks.json` (or `CODEX_HOME/hooks.json` when that override is set). Codex supports a native `commandWindows`, so each Paseo hook includes both POSIX and Windows commands. Non-managed Codex hooks are trust-gated by Codex; users may see Codex's hook review prompt before the hook runs.
-- OpenCode gets a self-contained plugin at `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/opencode/plugins/paseo-terminal-activity.js` (or `~/.config/opencode/plugins/paseo-terminal-activity.js` when XDG is unset; `OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR` still wins when set).
-
-Installation is marker-based/idempotent for config hooks and exact-file/idempotent for the OpenCode plugin. Paseo preserves user hooks, removes only its own marker-matched command hooks, and leaves hooks installed across daemon shutdown. Outside a Paseo terminal they are inert because the command or plugin is gated on `PASEO_TERMINAL_ID`.
-
-Provider variation lives in `AGENT_HOOK_PROVIDERS`: provider id, installed events, config install metadata, and runtime event-to-activity resolution. The daemon calls `installRegisteredAgentHooks()` once; the CLI calls `resolveHookActivity(provider, event, input)`. Adding a provider should add one provider entry and register it in `AGENT_HOOK_PROVIDERS`, without editing the generic CLI command or daemon bootstrap.
-
-The installed hook command keeps the config portable and resolves the CLI at runtime:
-
-```sh
-[ -n "$PASEO_TERMINAL_ID" ] && "${PASEO_HOOK_CLI:-paseo}" hooks claude <event>
-```
-
-Codex also receives the Windows equivalent:
-
-```bat
-if defined PASEO_TERMINAL_ID (if defined PASEO_HOOK_CLI ("%PASEO_HOOK_CLI%" hooks codex <event>) else (paseo hooks codex <event>))
-```
-
-The daemon resolves the current CLI through `PASEO_CLI` when its launcher supplies one, or through the npm package shim for standalone installs. Terminal setup exposes that resolved executable to hooks as `PASEO_HOOK_CLI`; desktop and other daemon launchers do not know about the hook-specific variable. The generated command falls back to bare `paseo` if the hook env is missing and no-ops outside Paseo terminals because the `PASEO_TERMINAL_ID` gate remains first. Paseo also prepends the resolved CLI directory to each terminal `PATH` as a secondary fallback. All other behavior lives in `paseo hooks`: read the env, map the event, POST activity, and no-op/fail-open when anything is missing or unavailable.
-
-If config installation fails, daemon startup and terminal spawn continue without terminal activity hooks.

-# Terminal performance
-
-How terminal output stays low-latency, what the invariants are, and how to measure before/after any change to the pipeline. Read this before touching anything under `packages/server/src/terminal/` or `packages/app/src/terminal/runtime/`.
-
-## The pipeline
-
-```
-pty (node-pty, forked worker process)
-  → headless xterm parse (worker, snapshot fidelity)
-  → TerminalOutputCoalescer (worker, ≤1 IPC message per 5ms per terminal)
-  → process.send IPC → daemon main process
-  → TerminalOutputCoalescer (per client stream, terminal-session-controller.ts)
-  → binary ws frame (2-byte header + raw bytes)
-  → client decode (daemon-client.ts) → stream router → emulator runtime
-  → xterm.write (back-to-back; xterm batches internally)
-```
-
-Terminal frames share the daemon main event loop with all agent traffic. The `eventLoopDelay` block in the `ws_runtime_metrics` log line (every 30s in `daemon.log`) is the ground truth for "the daemon is busy" — p99/max there directly bound worst-case terminal frame delay.
-
-## Invariants (the easy-to-break ones)
-
-- **Coalescers are leading+trailing throttles.** The first chunk after an idle window flushes immediately (synchronously); only sustained bursts wait for the trailing timer. Reverting to trailing-only adds a full window (~5ms) to every keystroke echo.
-- **Output coalescing happens in the worker, before IPC.** One `process.send` per pty chunk was a main-loop flood under build output. Non-output messages (snapshot/snapshotReady/titleChange/exit) must flush the coalescer first so ordering is preserved.
-- **Coalesced output carries the LAST chunk's revision.** Snapshot replay dedup (`replayTerminalOutputAfterSnapshot`) skips buffered output with `revision <= replayRevision`; a merged batch with a lower revision would be wrongly skipped (lost output).
-- **The input-mode tracker runs once per process boundary, not per hop.** The worker owns the authoritative tracker; the daemon caches the replay preamble from `getTerminalState` responses and `snapshotReady` messages. Do not reintroduce a per-chunk `feed()` on the daemon main loop.
-- **Snapshot catch-up is backpressure-gated.** A stream falls back to a full snapshot only when `outputBytesSinceSnapshot > MAX_TERMINAL_OUTPUT_FRAME_BYTES` (256KB) **and** the client transport reports `bufferedAmount > MAX_CLIENT_BUFFERED_BYTES` (4MB). A client that keeps draining streams continuously, no matter how much output is produced. Before this gate existed, every 256KB of build output dropped a frame and forced a full JSON cell-grid snapshot (~200k objects across IPC) — the historical source of spiky lag and GC hitches.
-- **Plugin daemon sessions report IPC queue bytes.** Their virtual socket increments `bufferedAmount` before `process.send` and decrements it only in the send callback. Text and binary frames share that ordered queue, so the normal snapshot catch-up and physical high-water gates remain valid for server-side plugin SDK traffic.
-- **Client output writes are not serialized per frame.** The emulator runtime drains contiguous plain writes straight into xterm (which buffers internally). Only barrier ops (`clear`, `snapshot`, `suppressInput` writes) wait — behind a zero-length sentinel write — so resets can't interleave with in-flight output.
-- **Find preserves the inspected xterm viewport, including at the live bottom.** Keep its output anchor inside the existing batched write path. Serializing output to preserve a search result would add terminal latency.
-- **Retained terminal tabs in the focused workspace keep their streams.** Hidden mounted terminals continue applying output, so switching tabs does not resubscribe or request a fresh snapshot. The retained-panel LRU bounds the number of live streams; terminals in an unfocused workspace detach.
-- **Terminal size has one daemon-owned claimant.** Focus and direct interaction send a `claim`; later geometry changes from that connection send `update`. A claim transfers ownership even when the dimensions are unchanged, while an update from any other connection is ignored. This lets an owning pane follow splits and keyboard insets without allowing an idle phone or browser to steal the PTY size.
-
-## Measuring
-
-- **Node-only benchmark (fast iteration, server pipeline):** `npx tsx scripts/benchmark-terminal-latency.ts`. Boots an isolated daemon (fresh `PASEO_HOME`, random port — never 6767), measures echo latency percentiles, burst jitter, and snapshot counts under ramped mock-agent load. Writes JSON to `/tmp/paseo-terminal-bench/`. Healthy numbers (2026-06): echo p50 ~2.3ms, p95 ~3.3ms, a 2MB burst fully streamed with `snap=0`.
-- **Browser perf specs (user-perceived path):** gated behind `PASEO_TERMINAL_PERF_E2E=1` —
-  `packages/app/e2e/browser/terminal-performance.spec.ts` and `packages/app/e2e/browser/terminal-keystroke-stress.spec.ts` (per-stage keydown→xterm-commit breakdown under mock-agent load). Healthy: keydown→commit p50 ~18ms under 600-key burst.
-- **Production:** grep `daemon.log` for `ws_runtime_metrics` and read `eventLoopDelay` + `bufferedAmount`.
-- **Git pressure:** the same log line includes `git.commands` (limiter occupancy, queue age,
-  queue wait, execution time, failures, timeouts, and top operations),
-  `git.workspaceService` (daemon-global Git observer ownership), and per-session workspace Git
-  subscription totals under `runtime`. Queue wait and execution time are separate because the Git
-  command timeout begins only after a command acquires a limiter slot.
-
-## Known remaining contention (follow-up candidates)
-
-- A single large `agent_stream` message (e.g. a 250KB diff payload) measurably delays terminal echo (~100ms-class dips) — cost is split between daemon serialization and app-side parse/render on the shared browser main thread. See [agent-stream-performance.md](agent-stream-performance.md) for that pipeline's own budgets.
-- Relay-attached clients pay pure-JS tweetnacl encryption on the daemon main loop (`packages/relay/src/encrypted-channel.ts`). Negotiated binary application frames stay binary ciphertext and avoid base64 encode/decode; text and mixed-version traffic remain base64 WebSocket text frames.
-- `sendToClient` re-stringifies session messages per socket; only matters for multi-socket connections.

-
-The packaged desktop smoke is an external observer of the production launch path. It must not add a smoke-only branch to Electron main or start the daemon itself.
-
-The harness launches the packaged app with isolated user data and daemon state, connects to the real renderer over Chromium's debugging protocol, and requires all of these outcomes:
-
-- the `paseo://app/` renderer mounts into `#root`;
-- the sandboxed preload exposes the desktop bridge;
-- the renderer starts a fresh desktop-managed daemon through the normal startup bootstrap;
-- the bundled CLI can query that daemon and run a terminal command.
-
-The Desktop Packages workflow runs the Linux x64 smoke under Xvfb on main pushes and on pull requests that change `packages/desktop/**`, `nix/**`, or the workflow itself. The Linux job is pinned to Ubuntu 24.04 and runs twice: with AppArmor user namespace restrictions enabled, then with user namespaces available. It installs the real `.deb`, launches the real AppImage via `--appimage-extract-and-run`, and launches the extracted tar archive. It also replaces the Debian installation with the generated RPM through `rpm --install --nodeps` and checks its sandboxed launch under restrictions. Ubuntu supplies the runtime libraries under Debian package names, so this verifies the RPM payload and postinstall rather than Fedora dependency resolution. Each launch verifies the reported sandbox decision; enabled renderers must also have `NoNewPrivs: 1` and `Seccomp: 2` in `/proc`. The desktop release matrix retains its host-native smokes. Linux release builds stay on Ubuntu 22.04 to preserve their native-library baseline; the restricted-host regression runs on Ubuntu 24.04 after merge.

-## Pull-request test routing

-PR checks are routed by the behavior each suite proves, using `.github/ci-paths.yml`. A package does not inherit every test suite of its runtime consumers: app changes do not run CLI or Electron-wrapper tests, and protocol changes do not run every package that imports the protocol. Cross-package static compatibility belongs to `typecheck`; full integration coverage runs after merge on main and in manual CI runs.

-Required matrix legs are declared as statically named jobs. Their shared steps use YAML anchors, while job-level `if` conditions let GitHub report an unaffected leg as genuinely skipped without allocating a runner or losing the exact required-check name.
-
-The smallest meaningful contract wins over package ownership. Tiny structural invariants such as daemon launch supervision run unconditionally in the always-running routing job instead of maintaining a transitive file list; this check reads source entrypoints and builds no product. Routed integration contracts use stable domain directories. Browser changes select the required Playwright shards; desktop changes select the existing required desktop jobs, with renderer and real-Electron coverage together in the Ubuntu leg. Packaging runs on main in the Desktop Packages, Docker, and Nix workflows. CLI-side Hub changes select one focused test inside the existing required server jobs. The CLI source suite runs once in the third required CLI job; only the separate local E2E runner is sharded, and that runner owns its dependency build. Repository scripts and the shared Vitest configuration run every PR contract because they are cross-cutting toolchain inputs.

+## Catch-up is paged but complete
 
 Large unbounded timeline responses can exceed relay frame limits, so catch-up uses bounded pages. Bounded does not mean partial.
 
-Page limits are projected-item targets. A tool call lifecycle is one projected item even if it spans many source sequence numbers, and assistant/reasoning chunks are merged before counting. The response carries `seqStart`, `seqEnd`, `sourceSeqRanges`, and `collapsed` so clients can advance sequence cursors without rendering delta rows.
+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`.
 
-When live delivery detects a sequence gap, the app fetches `direction: "after"`. If the daemon
-responds with `hasNewer: true`, the app immediately fetches the next page from `endCursor`. Gap
-recovery 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.
-
-Opening or resuming an agent fetches one bounded latest tail page. Older history remains
-user-driven by scrolling upward.
-
-A failed catch-up or subscription reconcile retries on its own, doubling from 1s to a 30s ceiling.
-A fixed 1s retry turned a persistent daemon-side refusal — a Codex thread that already has an active
-writer, say — into a request and a log line every second on an idle app. The delay resets on success,
-reconnect, delivery-mode change, and visibility change, so recovery is still immediate once the
-condition clears. Republishing the same visibility set is a no-op and never bypasses backoff.
-
-Background retries are silent. The retry the user presses in the sync-error callout is a fallible
-user action and owns its pending state: `retrying` is a status the sync model publishes, not a React
-boolean, so the button reports in-flight and the callout returns to `error` when the attempt fails.
-
-Reaching the history-start threshold loads one older page and preserves the visible content anchor.
-Cursor progress does not trigger another page. The user must leave and return to the threshold unless
-the anchored page still leaves the viewport at history start, as with short or compacted content; in
-that case pagination continues as one loading operation until the page fills the viewport or history
-is exhausted.
-
-## 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 the epoch and locates the projected item at the selected position. A fork
-includes projected items through that checkpoint. If an item spans the checkpoint and changed
-afterward, the daemon refuses that fork with an actionable error: discarded historical payloads
-cannot be reconstructed from sequence metadata. Forking the current context remains available.
+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.
 
 ## Resume behavior
 
-Opening, reconnecting, and returning from app background establish the current timeline through
-bounded catch-up. Switching between continuously subscribed open chats needs no fetch.
-Focus alone does not mutate timeline state; the response is compared with the local
-authoritative range first.
+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.
 
-Cached history remains readable during recovery. The chat shows Reconnecting to host while the host is
-offline, then Updating messages until authoritative catch-up completes. Socket connectivity alone cannot
-certify that the displayed conversation is current. The timeline owner publishes freshness; the
-view renders it without a toast timer or a separate resume workflow.
-
-The draft-create handoff has the same lifetime: the viewed-timeline owner releases it when the sync
-stops owing that chat a catch-up, not when the first authoritative page lands. Releasing it at the
-first page leaves a chat this client just created looking hydrated but still catching up, which
-shows Updating messages for a conversation that cannot be out of date. Closing the tab ends the
-obligation too, so a reopened chat starts from authoritative state instead of a stale optimistic
-one; disconnect and backgrounding keep it.
-
-Foregrounding probes a nominally connected session immediately. A healthy response preserves the
-socket; a failed three-second probe starts reconnecting without waiting for the background heartbeat
-or retry backoff. This cannot keep a mobile socket alive after the operating system suspends it.
-
-- The same epoch and `window.maxSeq` is an exact display no-op. The app advances synchronization
-  bookkeeping without replacing timeline arrays, preserving an upward-scrolled viewport.
-- When the page overlaps or is adjacent to the local end cursor, only projected items newer than
-  that cursor are applied. Already-covered rows are not replayed.
-- A true middle gap, epoch change, or rewind atomically replaces stale canonical history with the
-  latest tail. The replacement reconciles positioned live rows beyond its coverage and unresolved
-  local submissions; it never retains two discontiguous canonical ranges.
-
-The installed tail carries `hasOlder`, so history skipped by a replacement remains reachable through
-ordinary backward pagination. A backward page is accepted only when it is adjacent to the current
-history start; a response requested from a pre-replacement range is stale and is discarded.
-
-A plan approval keeps the original proposal's tool-call identity through resolution and provider
-history replay. The pending approval UI can hide that tool from presentation, but the client model
-must retain its position. Creating a new history card on rejection places it after the prompt that
-rejected it; changing steer-event ordering would also put new assistant output before that prompt.
-
-## Provider child history
-
-Child transcripts use the same projected-page reconciliation as the main conversation. The client
-retains rendered items and sequence cursors, never a second cache of source events. Pagination
-uses the projected display anchor; live updates advance the source cursor without moving tools.
-
-Clients advertising `projected_subagent_timeline` receive child streams and projected fetches.
-Updated clients require `features.projectedSubagentTimeline` for child history; older hosts show
-an update-host notice for that pane.
-Older clients retain child names/status and receive an upgrade message when opening a child
-conversation. This gate affects only the child transcript; it does not gate the connection,
-main conversation, or current-context forks. A legacy `canonical` root request still receives
-projected items.
-
-## Client replica lifetime
-
-The session projection remains host-scoped for as long as the host is registered. The viewed-timeline
-owner wraps cached preparation, network catch-up, accepted timeline application, and persistence
-behind one interface. React supplies transport and projection operations without selecting a cache
-path or issuing a separate persistence notification.
-
-Active-agent list reconciliation does not own transcript lifetime. An archived agent's fresh
-history response can arrive before the active-list response that omits it. Clearing history there
-would discard accepted rows while the viewed owner still considers them synchronized. Entity
-deletion clears the transcript; list membership changes do not.
-
-Removing the host from the registry is the destructive boundary: it stops the runtime and clears the
-session and host-scoped setup state together.
-
-The timeline owner asks durable replica storage for an agent when that agent becomes visible. An
-accepted row paints immediately before subscription acknowledgement or timeline fetch. The stored
-range describes those exact items: `startSeq` drives older pagination and `endSeq` drives forward
-catch-up. The owner requests `after endSeq`, and requests `before startSeq` when the user loads older
-history. Code outside the owner does not distinguish cached and network timelines.
-
-The first resume request is bounded. If it reports more newer history, fetch one latest bounded tail
-instead of replaying every missed page. Live gap recovery still pages forward until current.
-
-If the canonical window exceeds the cache item limit, contains a discontiguous retained range, has a
-live head, or includes presentation data the cache cannot encode losslessly, persistence drops the
-range and keeps a display-only tail. Never slice items while retaining the pre-slice range; that
-falsely certifies discarded source rows. A display-only row paints without granting synchronization
-authority, so the owner uses the ordinary bounded `tail` bootstrap.
-
-Live rows received between cache paint and catch-up stay in the separate live head and reconcile with
-the authoritative range through the existing forward-page path. The cache does not persist sync
-generation or unreconciled local submissions.
-
-Every daemon-derived live item carries its timeline epoch and sequence position. Bootstrap
-replacement keeps only positioned rows newer than the page it installs, while unresolved local
-user presentations identify themselves by having client identity without a timeline position. This
-prevents a page from duplicating rows it already covers without coupling display continuity to the
-shorter-lived submission registry. Unreconciled local presentations are not persisted in the durable
-replica cache.
-
-## Selective and legacy delivery
-
-The app chooses one delivery policy from `server_info.features.selectiveAgentTimeline`:
-
-- Selective daemons receive the chats this session has opened, plus any visible agent pane. A chat
-  enters that set the first time the user opens it and leaves when its tab closes or the session
-  ends, independently of mounted or retained React views: switching workspaces, evicting a retained
-  view, app backgrounding, and reconnect all preserve the demand. There is no recent-agent limit.
-  Restored workspace layout is a release signal, never a source. It carries a tab for every chat the
-  user has ever opened on the host, and a catch-up fetch resumes its agent on the daemon, so
-  subscribing from layout spawns a provider session per historical tab at every launch and stamps
-  every one of those workspaces as just used (see
-  [agent lifecycle](agent-lifecycle.md#workspace-activity)). Visible chats get the first catch-up
-  attempt; the rest follow when those attempts settle, including failures, so a failed visible chat
-  does not starve background recovery. Split panes catch up together. Hidden chats update the
-  replica; on web their retained presentation stays suspended until revealed, on native it keeps
-  rendering. Revealing a chat reads the current store and preserves its local UI state.
-- Legacy daemons keep globally streaming agent timelines. Visibility still triggers the existing
-  authoritative catch-up, but the app does not issue selective-subscription RPCs.
-
-This policy is owned by `viewed-timeline-sync.ts`; downstream reducers do not branch on daemon
-version.
-
-## Projected pages reconcile with live presentation
-
-A projected page is canonical state, not a sequence of live deltas. One projected item can overlap
-rows already received live—for example, a tool call retained at its original display position while
-its completion advances `seqEnd`, followed by a merged assistant message. The app uses
-`sourceSeqRanges` to replace overlapping assistant and reasoning projections before applying the
-remaining page through the existing stream reducer. It must not append full projected text to a
-live prefix.
-
-Every path that sends a message to an agent — composer send, dictation accept-and-send, queued
-send-now, and the host runtime's automatic queue drain — goes through
-`dispatchComposerAgentMessage` with a submission writer. There is no second transport for the same
-product action: calling `client.sendAgentMessage` directly skips the submitted row and the pending
-footer, and permanently drops attachments because the daemon does not echo them back.
-
-A submitted prompt is one `UserMessageItem` row. That row is the authoritative local presentation:
-its stable identity, text, timestamp, images, and attachments do not change when the provider
-acknowledges it. Submission lifecycle is a separate record keyed by agent, not another row shape.
-The transaction registry records two independent settlement facts: canonical acknowledgement and RPC
-settlement. Canonical acknowledgement retires optimistic activity immediately. When both facts are
-known, whichever arrives second deletes the record. A canonical acknowledgement that arrives first
-prevents a later transport error from rolling back a prompt already observed.
-
-The daemon's accepted response waits for the correlated run start and guarantees that the canonical
-submitted row has been recorded. It publishes the accepted turn's liveness before that row, so the
-client applies authoritative activity before canonical acknowledgement retires optimistic activity.
-Timeline render batching does not delay lifecycle application. Directory status never settles a
-submission. Overlapping sends settle independently rather than collapsing to one newest pending
-message.
-
-Daemons advertising `server_info.features.canonicalSubmittedPrompts` guarantee that every accepted
-prompt carrying a client message id is recorded and streamed as a canonical `user_message` with that
-same id. This includes daemon-handled commands that do not allocate a foreground turn; their submitted
-row is recorded before handler output. The app tracks submission transactions only for hosts with this
-capability. Older hosts keep the shipped untracked optimistic-row behavior and roll that row back on RPC
-rejection.
-
-Turn activity has one client-side replica. Lifecycle events can attach `turnId`, and agent snapshots can
-expose `activeTurn: { turnId, startedAt } | null`. An identified terminal cannot close a different
-identified turn; an unnamed legacy terminal can close the current turn. Snapshots, stream events,
-cancellation requests, and every visible surface update the same per-agent record. The snapshot covers
-both user-started foreground turns and autonomous provider turns;
-foreground control ownership remains a separate daemon concern. Cancellation request identity is stored
-with that record rather than in a React component, so an old request cannot clear a newer one. Submissions
-remain a separate pre-turn registry and retire on canonical acknowledgement.
-
-Canonical turns and visible responses are different boundaries. System-injected prompts are absent from
-the Paseo timeline, so one visible response can span several canonical turns without a user message
-between them. Layout and copy group that response together; lifecycle, timing, tool sequences, and exact
-fork positions retain the canonical `turnId` boundaries.
-
-The compatibility boundary for older daemons is snapshot normalization: running/idle status becomes an
-anonymous active turn or idle state once, and downstream code consumes the same activity shape. The app
-does not combine anonymous lifecycle events, timestamps, timeline rows, and resume coverage to infer a
-second running state. Disconnect preserves the last replicated turn until cache or network hydration
-advances it; replica removal remains the destructive close boundary. Elapsed time comes only from turn
-liveness, never from submission records or whichever timeline rows happen to be mounted.
-
-The daemon records one canonical submitted user row at acceptance. Its wire `messageId` is the
-submission's `clientMessageId`, so the row is born with its final identity and remains immutable on
-the wire. A correlated provider echo records the provider's native identity internally without
-dispatching another timeline event. Rewind resolves the wire identity to that provider identity at
-the provider boundary. Daemon-handled prompts follow the same identity rule.
-
-Content matching is limited to the dated compatibility path for daemon timelines created before
-that field existed. Canonical ingestion may match only an explicit unreconciled local candidate;
-the draft-create handoff is the one boundary that also permits the legacy canonical twin to have
-arrived first. Generic reducers and consumers do not reimplement message identity matching.
-
-Ordinary bootstrap, same-epoch reset, and catch-up replacement preserve unmatched locally submitted
-rows because a provider may never echo them. A known epoch change or rewind replaces history and
-drops acknowledged local rows omitted by the new canonical epoch; every transaction not yet
-acknowledged by the provider, and no other local row, crosses that destructive boundary. A cold
-reset without an existing epoch is destructive because the client has no continuity anchor.
-
-Tail rows are positioned history, so an unmatched local presentation is appended after the
-canonical replacement rather than ordered by timestamps from different machines. The head is a
-live overlay: cursorless items stay there during continuity replacement until canonical positions
-arrive, while a destructive replacement retains only active submission transactions.
-
-Canonical replacement owns both timeline lanes. A matching local row keeps its presentation ID and
-payload while taking the canonical row's ordered position. If a live assistant head is the
-canonical assistant prefix, it stays in the head lane. No row may be returned in both lanes.
+When a client resumes without a cursor, it fetches the latest tail page.

 [`useUnistyles()`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/use-unistyles) is different. It gives React access to the current theme/runtime and can make a component re-render when those values change. Use it for values that must be rendered through React props, such as icon colors or small escape hatches. Do not expect direct reads from `UnistylesRuntime` to re-render a component; [issue #817](https://github.com/jpudysz/react-native-unistyles/issues/817) is a useful reminder of that invariant.

 When a reusable component has a prop whose whole job is dynamic geometry, make that prop the seam.

-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:

 ## Main Gotcha: `contentContainerStyle`
 
-`ScrollView.contentContainerStyle` is the canonical trap. It looks like a style prop, but it is not the `style` prop Unistyles registers. How badly that bites depends on who owns the component:
-
-- **A remapped React Native `ScrollView`** still picks the style up — the Babel plugin rewrites the import and the factory tracks `contentContainerStyle` alongside `style`. The failure mode here is staleness: on first mount it can paint with the theme that was active at mount time and never repaint. The upstream tutorial calls this out in its [ScrollView Background Issue](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/tutorial/settings-screen#scrollview-background-issue) section.
-- **A third-party scroller** — `BottomSheetScrollView`, `FlashList`, anything Unistyles never rewrote — drops the style entirely on web. Nothing throws and the value looks right in JS, but the class Unistyles emitted is never applied, so the padding, gap, or background is simply absent. `AdaptiveModalSheet` shipped its compact sheet content flush to the screen edges for exactly this reason while the desktop card, which uses a real `ScrollView`, looked correct.
-
-The second case is why the wrapper-`View` fix below is not optional styling advice. A themed inset belongs on a `View` you own; a third-party scroller only gets theme-free layout.

-## Runtime Theme Patching For User Preferences
-
-Appearance settings (theme, UI/mono font family, font sizes, syntax-highlight theme) are owned by `packages/app/src/appearance`. Its provider subscribes once and synchronizes Unistyles when settings or plugin contributions change. `applyAppearance` patches every key in `REGISTERED_THEMES`, returning `{ ...theme, fontFamily, fontSize, lineHeight, colors.syntax }`.
-
-This works without `useUnistyles()` because every consumer already reads these tokens through `StyleSheet.create((theme) => …)` (or the `withUnistyles`/`uniProps` path for the markdown renderer), so patching the theme repaints tracked views through the native ShadowRegistry with no React re-render.
-
-Gotchas:
-
-- **Patch all themes, not just the active one.** The active theme can change and adaptive mode can flip light/dark; patching every key keeps the active key current and makes ordering vs `setTheme`/`setAdaptiveThemes` irrelevant. The effect depends on the settings values (not on `theme`), so it cannot loop.
-- **The reserved plugin keys are the exception to that ordering.** A plugin-contributed theme is rebuilt from its palette, which discards the appearance patch, so the appearance provider writes the matching light or dark slot before applying font and syntax preferences. See [plugins.md](plugins.md).
-- **Narrow the discriminated union before spreading.** `updateTheme`'s updater returns the theme union; spreading the union widens `colorScheme` to `"light" | "dark"`, which is assignable to neither concrete member. Branch on `t.colorScheme` so each branch spreads a single narrowed theme type (no `as`).
-- **`lineHeight.diff` is the code/diff line-height axis** — it is coupled to the code-font-size control (≈ `codeFontSize * 1.5`). Do NOT use it for prose. Markdown body line-height scales with content size (`Math.round(theme.fontSize.content * 1.4)`); routing prose through `lineHeight.diff` clips text at small code sizes.
-- **High-churn draft values** (live-while-typing in the appearance preview) bypass the theme: apply them as inline styles marked with `inlineUnistylesStyle` so per-keystroke values don't grow the `#unistyles-web` CSS registry.
-- **Web numeric appearance tokens need a render; native tracked styles update in place.** On web, string tokens such as colors become CSS variables, but numeric tokens (font sizes, line heights) are baked into generated classes. `AppearanceStyleBoundary` remounts web shell chrome and explorer content to refresh those classes. Native sidebars and explorer hosts stay outside appearance keys: their gesture refs outlive detached dependents until Gesture Handler's passive cleanup, so remounting a related gesture can query an unmounted view. Their tracked native styles and existing themed leaf props update without replacing the gesture hosts or draggable lists. Parsed PR markdown uses its own `withUnistyles` style mapping.
-- **Appearance keys belong below native lifetime owners.** `ThemedStack` wraps screen content through `screenLayout`, preserving navigator identity; nested navigators are listed in `nestedNavigatorScreens` and own their own screen boundaries. The remaining shell surfaces retain their appearance refresh separately from native panel hosts. A key above a native stack can detach its screen container inside a FragmentManager transaction during settings hydration. Keep both navigators and retained panel gesture hosts outside those keys. `applyAppearance` patches the active theme before inactive registry entries so subscribers receive the committed values in the same update. Do not add local appearance keys or a boundary above a navigator.
-- **Dynamic font tokens stay widened.** `fontFamily`, `fontSize`, and `lineHeight` on `commonTheme` are annotated `string`/`number` (not narrowed by `as const`) so the updater's return assigns; the platform default stacks live in `DEFAULT_UI_FONT_STACK` / `DEFAULT_MONO_FONT_STACK`.
