-Key rules the doc enforces — each beta updates an in-place `CHANGELOG.md` entry (`## X.Y.Z-beta.N`) that gets overwritten at promotion (never leave a stale `-beta.N` heading behind), and betas publish npm only with the explicit `beta` dist-tag.

-Read `docs/release.md` in the Paseo repo and follow the **Standard release (patch)** flow if cutting fresh, or the **Beta flow** promotion step if promoting an existing beta. Run the **Stable release (or promotion)** completion checklist at the bottom of that doc.

-The doc covers the changelog (required for stable), the pre-release sanity check (required for stable), and the post-release babysit pattern. Don't skip steps.

+### 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.

+### 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".

 - **Always use npm scripts for linting and formatting.** Do not run tools directly with `npx eslint`, `npx oxfmt`, `npx oxlint`, or package-local binaries. For targeted checks, pass file paths through the npm script:
  - `npm run lint -- packages/app/src/components/message.tsx`
  - `npm run format:files -- CLAUDE.md packages/app/src/components/message.tsx`
- **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.
-    - 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?"
-    - Wire schemas are pure structural declarations. Do not add `.transform()`, `.catch()`, or `.preprocess()` to WebSocket message schemas; put normalization in an explicit post-validation pass.
-    - Plain `z.union()` is forbidden when every branch has a shared literal tag. Use `z.discriminatedUnion()` unless generated-code regression tests prove that specific shape is miscompiled.
-    - `.default()` is acceptable on primitive leaves only. Never put defaults on item schemas for large arrays or big inbound containers.
-  - **Feature contract (per-feature):** a new feature may require a new daemon capability. The client detects whether the capability is present and either runs the feature or shows "Update the host to use this." That's it.
-    - **No fallback paths.** Don't write a degraded version of a new feature that runs on old daemons. Don't fan out across legacy RPCs to simulate a missing capability. The user upgrades or doesn't get the feature.
-    - **No defensive branches scattered through the feature.** Capability detection happens in one place; downstream code reads a clean shape.
-    - **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.
+- **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.

 # Contributing to Paseo

-Paseo is an opinionated product maintained by one person right now.
+Thank you for taking the time to contribute to Paseo.

-The product covers a lot of surface: mobile, desktop, web, the daemon, the relay, and both self-hosted and hosted setups.
+## Philosophy

-Contributing takes a lot of context that is very hard to transfer. That's why product, design, architecture, and workflow decisions are currently all made by the maintainer.
+Paseo is an opinionated product, built on freedom and flexibility: any agent provider, any device, running on your own machine. It is meant to be composable, so you can build the workflow you want. Read more about the product vision [here](docs/product.md).

-## Becoming a maintainer
+Given Paseo's scope, contributing to to it takes a lot of context that is very hard to transfer. That's why product, design, architecture, and workflow decisions are currently all made by the maintainer.

-There's no formal process to become a maintainer, if you consistently contribute and help out, you'll become one.
+I pick what to build based on whether it fits the product, how many workflows it improves, whether it keeps things composable, whether we can hold the quality bar, and whether I want to build it.

-Here's the progression:
+## Report bugs in GitHub issues or Discord

-1. Get involved in the community: answer questions in Discord and on GitHub
-2. Triage bugs: replicate and help fix them
-3. Work on maintainer-approved features
+Open an [issue](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/issues) or post in [Discord](https://discord.gg/jz8T2uahpH).

-The reason for this progression is so that you can gain all the context you need to take on more responsibility, so that I can see if you have what it takes to be a maintainer.
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Feature requests opened as issues will get closed automatically

-Learning on the job is fine, I do not care how many years of experience you have, what I care about is that you get the vision and want to contribute.
+If you used an agent to investigate, paste the raw evidence and repro steps it collected, not its diagnosis.
+
+You may submit a PR to fix a bug, please read the PR guidelines below.
+
+## Product discussions go in GitHub Discussions or Discord
+
+There's no feature request backlog. Open a product discussion in [Discussions](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/discussions) or `#product` in [Discord](https://discord.gg/jz8T2uahpH), and frame it as a workflow:
+
+- What are you trying to do?
+- How do you do it today?
+- Where does Paseo get in the way?
+- What would the flow look like if it worked for you?
+
+"Can you build X" is not useful because it doesn't tell me about your problem.
+
+A discussion also lets other people add their own version of the same problem, and that's what I read when I decide what to build.
+
+Due to the volume and my limited bandwidth, I may not participate in all the discussions, if something gains interest it will make it's way to me.

 ## Pull requests

-✅ Will be accepted
+Anyone can open a pull request, but there are no guarantees of it getting merged, only submit one if you're okay with it being closed.

- 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
+Open it as a draft if the work isn't ready for review, if you want to run the checks against it, or if you want feedback on the direction before you finish it. Mark it ready when you want it looked at.
+
+Here is the criteria I use to decide:
+
+✅ Likely to be accepted
+
+- Fits the product vision
+- One focused change
+- Links the bug it fixes, or the discussion behind it if there is one
+- Addresses bot reviews
+- Explains the problem you're solving
+- QA evidence
+- Automated tests
+- Screenshots or video for UI changes, on every affected platform
+- Says which platforms you tested and which you didn't
+- Maintainer edits enabled

 ⛔️ Will be rejected

- Bundle unrelated changes
- Fail basic checks like typecheck, formatting or linting
- Add a feature or design change that wasn't discussed first
- Submit no evidence of testing
- Skip the linked issue
+- Bundles unrelated changes
+- Fails checks
+- Ignores bot reviews
+- Takes a feature or the design in a direction I don't want
+- No QA evidence
+- No tests
 - Clearly fully AI-generated PR

-## Requesting features
+### What to expect

-If you need a feature implemented, create a Github issue or a thread in Discord.
+- PRs that were explicitly approved in a discussion are preferred.
+- Unsolicited PR can be closed without a detailed review.
+- Your PR can be narrowed, refactored, or redesigned.
+- Your PR might be accpeted but not merged immediately.
+- You wil be attributed for your work in the changelog, even if I redesign your PR

-Explain the problem you want to solve: your use case, where Paseo falls short today, and the flow you expect.
+## QA evidence

-## AI assistance
+QA is the main bottleneck of Paseo's product development, and it's not just whether the feature works, it's also whether it meets the quality bar.

-Using AI to help write code is fine, but you must:
+Pull requests without evidence will be closed.

- Ensure your agents read the docs
- Understand the code you submit
- Review and test the code yourself
+What's accepted:
+
+- The shell commands you ran, pasted with their output
+- The tests you added and their results
+- Before and after screenshots
+- A video of the whole interaction
+- Logs, requests, responses
+
+Bugs and features both need automated tests, and the tests have to exercise the real thing. UI changes need a video, or a screenshot if it's static.
+
+The [QA guide](docs/qa.md) covers what to check for each of these and the tooling to do it.
+
+## I want to become a maintainer
+
+There's no formal process to become a maintainer, just consistently get involved with the project by answering questions, testing, reproducing bugs, discussing workflows with the community and offer to implement features when we reach an agreement.
+
+## FAQ
+
+### I'm blocked, where do I go?
+
+Join [Discord](https://discord.gg/jz8T2uahpH), ask your questions there.
+
+### Do you prefer Github or Discord?
+
+I am more active on Discord for general questions.
+
+I prefer Github for bugs because the template helps collect information more efficiently.
+
+### Why was my feature request closed?
+
+Issues are only for bugs. Open it as a product discussion instead, framed as a workflow.
+
+### Why didn't my PR get a detailed review?
+
+Writing a review is very time consuming and Paseo receives a lot of PRs, I cannot give detailed explanations at volume.
+
+### How long until someone looks at my pull request?
+
+It depends on what else is going on. QA takes longer than reading the diff. You are welcome to join Discord to ask.
+
+### Why do you want tests and a video for a small change?
+
+Because it's faster and safer than me checking out and running every PR myself to test it manually.
+
+QA evidence help me take your PR seriously for a deeper review and maintainer QA.
+
+### I only have one platform, can I still contribute?
+
+Yes. Test what you have, and say what you didn't test.
+
+### Can I use an agent to write my contribution?
+
+Yes, as long as you understand what you're submitting and you tested it yourself.
+
+### Is there a roadmap I can read?
+
+[docs/product.md](docs/product.md) covers the direction. There's no public list of what I'm building next.

+
+- **셀프 호스팅:** 에이전트는 완전한 개발 환경이 갖춰진 내 컴퓨터에서 실행됩니다. 평소 쓰던 도구, 설정, 스킬을 그대로 쓸 수 있습니다.
+- **여러 제공자 지원:** Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi를 하나의 인터페이스에서 사용할 수 있습니다. 작업마다 알맞은 모델을 고를 수 있습니다.
+- **음성 제어:** 음성 모드에서 작업을 말로 지시하거나 문제를 음성으로 함께 검토할 수 있습니다. 손을 쓰지 않고 작업해야 할 때 유용합니다.
+- **여러 기기 지원:** iOS, Android, 데스크톱, 웹, CLI를 지원합니다. 데스크톱에서 시작해 휴대폰으로 확인하고 터미널에서 자동화할 수 있습니다.
+- **개인정보 보호 우선:** Paseo는 텔레메트리, 추적, 강제 로그인을 사용하지 않습니다.
+
+## 시작하기
+
+Paseo는 코딩 에이전트를 관리하는 로컬 서버인 데몬을 실행합니다. 데스크톱 앱, 모바일 앱, 웹 앱, CLI 같은 클라이언트가 이 데몬에 연결합니다.
+
+### 준비 사항
+
+아래 에이전트 CLI 중 하나 이상을 설치하고 인증 정보를 설정해야 합니다.
+
+- [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)
+
+### 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-loop` — 명확한 완료 조건을 기준으로 에이전트를 반복 실행합니다(Ralph loop). 검증 에이전트를 추가할 수도 있습니다.
+- `/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.
+
+- `packages/server`: Paseo 데몬(에이전트 프로세스 오케스트레이션, WebSocket API, MCP 서버 제공)
+- `packages/app`: Expo 클라이언트(iOS, Android, 웹)
+- `packages/cli`: `paseo` CLI(데몬과 에이전트 워크플로)
+- `packages/desktop`: Electron 데스크톱 앱
+- `packages/relay`: 데몬과 클라이언트가 쓰는 릴레이 전송 및 암호화 패키지
+- `packages/website`: 마케팅 사이트 및 문서(`paseo.sh`)
+
+자주 쓰는 명령:
+
+```bash
+# 모든 로컬 개발 서비스 실행
+npm run dev
+
+# 개별 환경 실행
+npm run dev:server
+npm run dev:app
+npm run dev:desktop
+npm run dev:website

 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.

+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.
+
+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.
+Only the Claude provider does this today; the others still report a death only when a turn happens to
+be in flight.
+
+### Cancellation
+
+Cancellation changes lifecycle state only after the provider acknowledges the interrupt or emits a terminal turn event. If the interrupt is rejected or times out, the agent remains `running` with its active foreground turn intact. Follow-up actions such as replacement, reload, rewind, and Stop must report that failure instead of accepting work they cannot perform. Synthesizing a local cancellation without provider acknowledgment creates a split-brain session: Paseo accepts a new prompt while the provider still owns the previous foreground turn.

 ## Relationships

-Agents can launch other agents via the agent-scoped `create_agent` MCP tool. Agent-scoped creation is always asynchronous. `relationship` and `workspace` are separate decisions:
-
- `relationship` decides whether the new agent belongs under the caller.
- `workspace` decides where the new agent lives and whether a new workspace/worktree is created.
-
-`relationship: { kind: "subagent" }` stamps the created agent with `paseo.parent-agent-id`, pointing back at the creating agent. The client surfaces that as `agent.parentAgentId`. This requires an agent-scoped MCP session.
-
-`relationship: { kind: "detached" }` creates a sibling/root agent (e.g. handoffs, fire-and-forget delegations). The daemon may still use the creating agent for cwd/config inheritance, but it does not write `paseo.parent-agent-id`.
+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.

 - **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, do not appear in the creating agent's subagent track, and are not 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.

-`workspace: { kind: "current" }` uses the caller's workspace and can optionally override the runtime cwd. It requires an agent-scoped MCP session. `workspace: { kind: "create", source: { kind: "directory" | "worktree", ... } }` creates a new workspace for the new agent; worktree creation goes through the Paseo worktree workflow and stamps the agent with that fresh workspace id.
+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 removes the `paseo.parent-agent-id` label only: it does not stop, archive, move, or restart the agent. The agent keeps its current `cwd` and `workspaceId`, leaves the former parent's track, and behaves like a root agent for tab close, workspace activity, and future parent archive.

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.

+## 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.
+
 ## 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.

-`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`). If the same request created a Paseo worktree through its `worktree` field, auto-archive archives that worktree too, which removes the agent records inside the worktree.

 Cascade is what keeps subagent fleets from outliving their orchestrator.

+Workspace archive is a separate lifecycle. Archiving or removing a worktree can close a surviving
+agent record without setting the agent's `archivedAt`, while its `workspaceId` still points at the
+archived workspace. History navigation must not infer workspace lifecycle from `agent.archivedAt`
+or mutate either lifecycle. The workspace route asks the daemon for authoritative recovery state;
+only the route's explicit Unarchive or Restore action changes the archived workspace.
+
+History navigation preserves the selected agent as an explicit recovery target. If both that agent
+and its workspace are archived, the workspace recovery action restores the workspace and unarchives
+the selected agent as one user action. Other archived agents in the restored workspace remain
+recoverable from History. Opening one pins its tab and renders the archived-agent callout. Authoritative
+timeline catch-up may load provider history with a runtime-only `history` resume purpose, which must

@@ -61,23 +108,49 @@ Closing a tab on a **root agent** still archives — the tab is the agent's home

 Closing a tab on a **subagent** (any agent with `parentAgentId`) is **layout-only**. The agent stays unarchived and stays in its parent's track. The user can re-open the tab from the track at any time. This is implemented in `handleCloseAgentTab` (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`).

-The asymmetry is intentional: a subagent's home is the parent's track, not the tab. Tabs are ephemeral viewing slots; the track is the persistent record of the parent's children.
+The asymmetry is intentional: a subagent's persistent relationship lives in the parent's track. Same-workspace subagents are not auto-opened as tabs; the user opens one from that track when needed. A cross-workspace subagent is also auto-opened as a tab in its own workspace so opening that workspace does not appear empty. It remains in the parent's track until it is actually detached.

 ## Workspace activity

 Agent lifecycle status stays literal: a parent agent is `idle` when its own turn is idle, even if a child is running.

-Workspace status is an aggregate activity signal computed **per `workspaceId`**: a workspace's status reflects only records whose `workspaceId === workspace.id`. Ownership is never derived from `cwd` — many workspaces may share one directory, and same-`cwd` siblings do not clump under one status. A root agent contributes its normal state bucket to its owning workspace only. Running subagents contribute `running` to their root parent's owning workspace (by the parent agent's `workspaceId`), not to the subagent's current `cwd` or worktree. Non-running subagent attention, permission, and error states stay in the parent's subagents track and do not escalate the workspace bucket.
+Workspace status is an aggregate activity signal computed **per `workspaceId`**.

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.

+- **Paseo subagents** are full managed agents. Their membership rule (`packages/app/src/subagents/select.ts`) is:

 ```

-Archived subagents disappear from the track, by design. To remove a subagent from the track without closing its tab, use the **archive button (X)** on the row — it opens a confirm dialog and archives the subagent on confirm. That same archive shows the subagent leave the track on every connected client.
+- **Provider subagents** are child executions owned by Claude, Codex, or OpenCode. They are not inserted into `AgentManager` as managed agents. Providers emit a separate descriptor and timeline stream through `agent.provider_subagents.*`; the client keeps that state outside the normal agent store and merges only the presentation rows into the track.
+
+Clicking either kind opens a workspace tab. A Paseo subagent tab is a normal interactive agent pane. A provider subagent tab is a read-only timeline pane with no composer, archive, detach, rewind, or fork actions. Both panes use `AgentStreamView`, so message, reasoning, tool-call, and layout rendering stay identical.
+
+Provider timelines use the same structural timeline item format but deliberately have a separate lifecycle and transport. A provider thread/session identifier is not a Paseo agent identifier, and closing its tab is always layout-only.
+
+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`.
+- **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.
+- **On replay, `<session>/subagents/` holds every descendant, not just this session's children.** `agent-<id>.meta.json` carries `spawnDepth`: `1` is a direct child, `2+` was spawned by another subagent and its `toolUseId` names a Task call made inside its parent's session, which nothing in this transcript can resolve. Replaying those adds rows the live stream never showed, each with no Task card and no recoverable outcome, so they render as running forever. One recorded session showed 10 subagents live and would have replayed 22.
+- **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 track header's **Archive finished** action hides finished provider-owned rows in the current app session. Their native sessions and timelines are untouched, and managed Paseo subagents are not archived by this bulk action. If a hidden provider child starts running again, the app brings it back to the track.

 To keep the agent alive but remove it from the parent's track, use **detach**. The daemon clears the parent label, emits the normal agent update, and every client reclassifies the agent from subagent to root/sibling from that updated snapshot.

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

+## Running on an emulator against a worktree daemon
+
+`npm run android` builds and installs the dev client, but two connections have to reach your Mac from inside the emulator — Metro (the JS bundle) and the Paseo daemon — and **the emulator does not share the host's loopback**: `localhost` inside the emulator is the emulator itself. Reach the host at `10.0.2.2` (the standard AVD's host alias) for both:
+
+```bash
+REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=10.0.2.2 \
+  EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=10.0.2.2:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT \
+  npm run android
+```
+
+- **`REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=10.0.2.2`** — without it, Expo bakes your Mac's LAN IP into the dev client's Metro URL, which the emulator can't route to, and the app dies with `Failed to connect to /<lan-ip>:8081` before any JS loads.
+- **`EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=10.0.2.2:<port>`** — the client's daemon endpoint (`packages/app/src/runtime/host-runtime.ts`); when unset it defaults to `localhost:6767`, the production daemon. Use `$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT` for a worktree daemon running as a Paseo service, or `6768` for a standalone `npm run dev:server`. It is inlined into the JS bundle at Metro bundle time, so set it on the build command and clear the Metro cache (`npx expo start -c`) if a change doesn't take.
+
+**Alternative — `adb reverse` + `localhost`** (if `10.0.2.2` misbehaves):
+
+```bash
+adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081
+adb reverse tcp:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT tcp:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT
+REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=localhost \
+  EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=localhost:$PASEO_SERVICE_DAEMON_PORT \
+  npm run android
+```
+
+This is the Android counterpart of the iOS local-simulator flow in [development.md](development.md): on iOS the simulator shares the Mac's loopback so `localhost:<port>` works directly; on Android you need `10.0.2.2` or `adb reverse`.
+
+## F-Droid / source-only Android builds
+
+F-Droid builds should set `PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1` when running Expo prebuild:
+
+```bash
+cd packages/app
+PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1 APP_VARIANT=production npx expo prebuild --platform android --clean --non-interactive
+cd android
+PASEO_FDROID_BUILD=1 ./gradlew assembleRelease --no-daemon --max-workers=1 -Dorg.gradle.parallel=false
+```
+
+The flag must be present for both prebuild and Gradle because Gradle starts Metro for the release bundle. Keep the source build serial and daemon-free as shown above: compiling every Expo module can exhaust memory when Gradle workers run in parallel. The profile enables source-built Expo modules, excludes the proprietary camera, Firebase notification, and Expo development-client native modules, disables 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.

 ### 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.

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.

 # 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.

+### Git process limits
+
+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. Restart the
+daemon after changing the file or environment. Run `paseo daemon restart` for a standalone daemon.
+For a desktop-managed daemon, fully quit and reopen Paseo Desktop.

 `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.

-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.
+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.

-## 8. Responsiveness

+
+Things align to their glyphs, not to their boxes. A row's leading icon, its title, and the label of the button in its trailing slot sit on the same rails — the ink lines up, not the padding, not the touch target, not the hover background.
+
+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.
+
+Optical alignment beats arithmetic when a glyph disagrees with its bounding box. Icons with visual weight on one side, chevrons, and single-character labels usually need a small nudge to look centered. Trust the eye, then leave a comment saying the offset is optical.

 The workspace screen (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`) follows a different but parallel rule: tabs collapse on compact, panes split on desktop. The sidebar (`packages/app/src/components/left-sidebar.tsx`) is overlaid on compact and pinned on desktop.

+On a narrow desktop route, app navigation yields to the rendered content topology when the remaining width cannot preserve its center target: Settings keeps its 320px list + 400px detail split, and a workspace Explorer keeps its current visible width plus a 400px center pane.

-## 12. Status pills and badges
+## 13. Status pills and badges

-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.
+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 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 **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: pushed away from the surface rather than toward it (darker in light, lighter in dark) and at 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 lightness the dots read dimmer than the metadata beside them — backwards, since the dot is the row's state. All four move together; regenerate the set, never one hue.
+
+Status pills are the status token as foreground on a 10%-alpha tint of the same token (`${token}1a`), with a 20% border (`${token}33`). 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.

 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>`.

 Paseo worktrees expose the native iOS dev app through the `ios-simulator` service in `paseo.json`. The service URL serves the simulator preview at `/.sim`, so the preview link is `${PASEO_URL}/.sim`.

+**Prerequisites (macOS only).** The service shells out to the Apple toolchain, so beyond the `npm ci` that worktree setup runs you must install:
+
+- **Xcode** (the full app, not just the Command Line Tools) — install it from the Mac App Store, or from `developer.apple.com/download` for a specific version. It provides `xcodebuild` and `xcrun simctl`; accept its license and let first-run component installation finish before starting the service.
+- **An iOS Simulator runtime with at least one iPhone device type**. Recent Xcode versions may not bundle a runtime — add one via Xcode → Settings → Components (older Xcode: "Platforms"). The service targets `iPhone 16 Pro` by default (override with `PASEO_IOS_DEVICE_TYPE`) and falls back to any iPhone; it fails with `No iPhone simulator device type is installed` when none exist.
+- **Homebrew** — CocoaPods itself installs automatically: `expo prebuild` runs `pod install` on a cold worktree, and when the CocoaPods CLI is missing the runner installs it for you. It tries `gem install cocoapods` first and falls back to Homebrew (`brew install cocoapods`), so having Homebrew available lets that fallback succeed without a manual step.
+
+`serve-sim`, Expo, and Metro come from `npm ci`, and CocoaPods installs itself on the first prebuild as described above.
+
 The service is designed for concurrent worktrees: it derives a deterministic simulator identity from the worktree path, uses the worktree's assigned `PASEO_PORT`, pins `serve-sim` to that simulator UDID, and only tears down that worktree's helper/simulator state. It must not rely on the globally booted simulator or any fixed Metro port.

 Worktree setup best-effort seeds the generated iOS project and newest native build cache from the source checkout before the service runs. The service still validates the native project by running Expo prebuild and Xcode; the seed only avoids paying all setup/build cost from a cold worktree every time.

-Starting the service must not create, focus, reveal, or leave behind macOS Simulator.app windows. The browser preview is the user-visible simulator surface.
+Starting the service must not create, focus, reveal, or leave behind macOS Simulator.app windows — a guard hides Simulator.app every 250ms, so the native window vanishes if you focus it. The user-visible surface is the interactive `/.sim` preview: a `serve-sim` stream (60 FPS MJPEG + a WebSocket control channel) that Metro mounts at `basePath: "/.sim"` (`packages/app/metro.config.cjs`) and that forwards taps and gestures, so first-launch prompts like "Open in PaseoDebug?" are answered there, not in the native window. Open the `${PASEO_URL}/.sim` link the service prints — not `serve-sim`'s raw stream port (`:3100`), which is view-only. Because the stream sits behind the daemon proxy it is convenient for remote viewing but laggy up close; for fast local dev at the Mac, use the native simulator path below.
+
+**Troubleshooting.** If `xcrun simctl` fails with `unable to find utility "simctl"`, the active developer directory is still the Command Line Tools even though Xcode is installed. Point it at Xcode: `sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer`, then confirm with `xcrun --find simctl`.
+
+### Running the iOS app on a local simulator
+
+For fast, native, interactive iOS dev at the Mac — as opposed to the remote `/.sim` preview above — skip the service and build the dev client directly:
+
+```bash
+npm run ios        # → expo run:ios (packages/app): builds and launches the app in the real Simulator.app
+```
+
+`expo run:ios` starts its own Metro and gives you the normal Simulator.app window (full speed, native touch, no stream).
+
+**Pointing the app at a daemon.** The client resolves its local daemon from `EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON` (`packages/app/src/runtime/host-runtime.ts`); when unset it falls back to `localhost:6767`, the production `~/.paseo` daemon. To target a worktree's dev daemon instead, set it on the build command:
+
+```bash
+EXPO_PUBLIC_LOCAL_DAEMON=localhost:${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.

 ### Desktop renderer profiling

-`http://127.0.0.1:9223` so renderer CPU profiles can be captured through CDP.

+`npm run dev:desktop` starts Electron with Chromium remote debugging enabled so

+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.
+
+Electron remains in the desktop dev runner's process group. Closing or stopping the

+A new worktree starts from the current branch's upstream, or the local branch when it has no

+   `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`,
+     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.
+
+Shipped GitHub compatibility stays separate:
+
+- `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`
+- 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.
+- 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.
+- GitLab pipeline status constants belong to the GitLab adapter/client module,
+  not protocol.

 Authoritative terminology. UI label wins. Don't invent synonyms; use what's here.

- **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.
+- **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 and app shortcuts 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. CLI/MCP **archive worktree** is a separate lower-level operation that archives every workspace on that worktree.
- **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 (`deriveWorkspaceKind`, `packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:158`), not stored from a user choice. Code: `PersistedWorkspaceKind` (`packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:8`). Don't confuse with **Isolation** (the create-time intent).

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".
 - **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 relationship to its project (projectKey, projectName, git checkout snapshot). Internal. Code: `ProjectPlacementPayload` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2113`).
+- **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.
 - **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`).
- **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.
- **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, GitHub PR info, file preview/explorer contents. Keyed by `(serverId, cwd)`, never `workspaceId`. See [architecture.md](architecture.md#right-sidebar-boundary-directory-backed-vs-workspace-owned).
+- **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.
+- **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.
- **Provider** — Agent backend (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi, OMP). UI: "Provider". Code: `ProviderSnapshotEntry` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:198`).
+- **Provider** — Agent backend (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi, Oh My 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) or Loop (iterative re-execution of one agent).
- **Heartbeat** — Cron-style prompt sent back into the same agent/conversation. MCP: `create_heartbeat`. Use for reminders and babysitting where the status should return inline.
+- **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.
 - **Mode** — Provider-specific operational mode (plan, default, full-access, …). UI: icon-only. Code: `modeId` in `AgentSessionConfig` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:257`).
- **Attachment** — GitHub PR or Issue bound to an agent prompt. UI: "Attach issue or PR". Code: `AgentAttachment` (`packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:782`).
+- **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`).
 - **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 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`).
+- **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.
 - **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`. 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 run the `hub.management.daemon.connect`,
+`hub.management.daemon.get_status`, and `hub.management.daemon.disconnect` RPCs. Hub connections
+receive only `hub.execution.*` authority, so execution credentials cannot manage the relationship.
+
+## Session grants and execution ownership
+
+Trusted clients and the Hub use the same `Session` implementation. The connection boundary supplies
+grants: trusted clients receive `*`, while an enrolled Hub connection receives its persisted
+`hub.execution.*` grant. One matcher handles exact RPC names and trailing namespace wildcards for
+both inbound requests and outbound messages. A denied request returns the ordinary `rpc_error`
+shape.
+
+The Hub connection still has a narrow lifecycle boundary: it has no trusted-client hello/resume,
+browser, binary, retained-session, or broadcast state. Its outbound execution events include only
+agents owned by that daemon identity, so unrelated local agents remain outside the Hub surface.
+
+Each Hub create carries an execution ID. The daemon stores that ID with the agent's relationship
+owner before acknowledging creation. Duplicate or replayed creates for the same daemon and
+execution resolve to the same durable agent. After a lost response, reconnect, or daemon restart,
+the Hub retries `hub.execution.agent.create.request` with the same execution ID. The idempotent
+response returns the existing agent and its current state; there is no separate reconciliation RPC.
+Transient stream frames are not durably replayed.
+
+Daemon restart preserves the Hub relationship and owned execution identity, but interrupts any
+active turn. The daemon persists that agent as `closed`; an idempotent create retry returns the same
+daemon, execution, and agent identity with that terminal state. Paseo never stores or automatically
+replays the original prompt. A duplicate create returns the existing agent without starting another
+turn.
+
+Every Hub execution creates a fresh Paseo workspace. The workspace owns the execution's agents and
+terminals. Local checkout and worktree targets select only the workspace backing and isolation; the
+Hub cannot select or reuse an existing workspace. Hub creates use the same agent creation path as
+trusted clients. They may select any worktree target shape and carry optional MCP server configuration and provider-native
+`providerOptions` for the agent session. The daemon keeps that configuration in its private agent
+record so provider sessions can recover after a restart; neither ordinary client snapshots and
+updates nor Hub projections expose session configuration. See [providers.md](providers.md) for the
+supported provider keys.
+
+Hub tool preapproval is a private, structured list of `{ kind: "mcp", server, tool }` references.
+Every reference must name an MCP server injected by the same create request. The daemon translates
+only those identities into the selected provider's native approval configuration. The protocol
+cannot name or preapprove native tools such as Bash, Edit, or Write. Explicit local or managed ask
+and deny policy takes precedence. Providers without exact MCP preapproval support reject unattended
+Hub creation instead of broadening access or waiting for an invisible prompt.
+When a create request includes a tool policy, a successful response includes
+`toolPolicyApplied: true`; absence of that acknowledgement is not success for unattended execution.
+
+A Hub workflow may use read-only provider settings for classifier steps. This is defense in depth,
+not a security boundary: classifier labels and prompt intent do not authorize tools. Exact MCP grants
+and the provider's local or managed policy remain the authorization controls.
+
+Execution completion policy remains outside the daemon: a completed agent turn does not imply that
+the Hub execution is terminal.
+
+The Hub ends an execution by sending `hub.execution.control.request` with the durable execution ID
+and either `interrupt` or `archive`. The daemon resolves the agent from the authenticated daemon
+relationship plus that execution ID; callers cannot supply an agent ID or workspace path. Both
+actions are idempotent and continue to resolve from stored ownership after daemon restart.
+If no execution exists for that authenticated daemon and execution ID, interrupt and archive return
+success because the requested stopped or archived state already holds. An execution owned by another
+daemon is indistinguishable from a missing execution and is never exposed or affected.
+
+Interrupt uses the ordinary agent cancellation lifecycle. Archive resolves the execution agent's
+required workspaceId and sends it through the shared workspace archive service. The service archives
+that workspace's agents and terminals, then removes Paseo-owned backing directories only after their
+final active workspace reference disappears. Local checkouts remain on disk; sibling workspaces
+sharing a backing directory remain active.
+
+## 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 before requesting remote revocation. If the Hub is
+offline, the daemon persists `disconnecting` and retries revocation across daemon restarts without
+opening a Hub socket. This also covers an enrollment whose request may have succeeded but whose
+response was lost. `--force` removes local authority immediately and warns that remote revocation may
+still be pending.
+
+`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.

+# 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.
+
+## 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.
+
+## 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.
+
+## 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    |
+
+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.
+- **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.
+- Anchoring, flipping, and edge clamping live in `menu-anchor.ts` and are unit-tested. Fix
+  positioning bugs there, not at a call site.

 # 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:

+# 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.

+
+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:

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.

+# Local plugins
+
+Local plugins contribute daemon RPCs, native app surfaces, and composer attachment sources from one
+`index.tsx`. Paseo executes the server contribution in a subprocess and evaluates the client
+contribution in the app runtime. Plugin code is trusted code; this first slice does not sandbox it.
+
+## Configure a directory source
+
+Add the plugin to the root `plugins` object in `$PASEO_HOME/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "plugins": {
+    "my-plugin": {
+      "source": "directory",
+      "path": "/absolute/path/to/my-plugin"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The directory contains an identity-only manifest and one entry point:
+
+```text
+my-plugin/
+  paseo-plugin.json
+  index.tsx
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "my-plugin"
+}
+```
+
+The manifest ID must match the config key. Restart the development daemon after changing plugin
+source or configuration; directory watching is outside the first slice.
+
+## Contribute behavior and UI
+
+Default export one contribution function. Paseo calls it with a plugin-scoped context. The compiler
+removes UI registrations from the server bundle and RPC registrations from the client bundle before
+resolving dependencies.
+
+```tsx
+import { Text } from "react-native";
+import { useQuery } from "@tanstack/react-query";
+import { z } from "zod";
+import { defineRpc, type PluginContext, useRpc } from "@paseo/plugin";
+
+const greetRpc = defineRpc({
+  name: "greet",
+  input: z.object({ name: z.string() }),
+  output: z.object({ message: z.string() }),
+});
+
+function Greeting() {
+  const greet = useRpc(greetRpc);
+  const query = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ["greeting", "Paseo"],
+    queryFn: () => greet({ name: "Paseo" }),
+  });
+  return <Text>{query.data?.message}</Text>;
+}
+
+export default function contribute(plugin: PluginContext) {
+  plugin.handle(greetRpc, async ({ name }) => ({ message: `Hello, ${name}` }));
+  plugin.addSurface("main", Greeting);
+  plugin.addSidebarItem({
+    id: "main",
+    title: "Greeting",
+    icon: "MessageCircle",
+    surface: "main",
+  });
+}
+```
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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. Plugin code cannot address another host.
+
+## 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.
+
+```tsx
+const searchIssues = defineRpc({
+  name: "issues.search",
+  input: z.object({ query: z.string() }),
+  output: z.object({
+    items: z.array(
+      z.object({
+        id: z.string(),
+        identifier: z.string(),
+        title: z.string(),
+        subtitle: z.string().optional(),
+        url: z.string().url(),
+        text: z.string(),
+        resourceType: z.string(),
+      }),
+    ),
+  }),
+});
+
+const issues = defineAttachmentSource({
+  id: "issues",
+  title: "Acme issue",
+  icon: "CircleDot",
+  pickerTitle: "Attach Acme issue",
+  searchPlaceholder: "Search by identifier or title",
+  search: searchIssues,
+});
+
+export default function contribute(plugin: PluginContext) {
+  plugin.handle(searchIssues, ({ query }) => searchAcmeIssues(query));
+  plugin.addAttachmentSource(issues);
+}
+```
+
+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.
+
+See `examples/local-plugin` for a native surface and `extensions/linear` for a complete official
+attachment-source extension.

+# 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.
+
+- 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.
+
+## 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).

 This guide walks through adding a new agent provider end-to-end. There are two integration patterns, and this doc covers both.

+## Provider-native session options
+
+`AgentSessionConfig.providerOptions` carries JSON-safe configuration for the selected provider. The
+names and nesting are the provider's native contract; options are not portable between providers.
+Paseo validates the object with the selected provider's strict schema before constructing a session.
+Unknown keys fail with their `providerOptions.*` path. Paseo-owned controls such as cwd, model,
+prompt, environment, session identity, MCP transport, callbacks, and hooks cannot be passed here.
+
+This Paseo version accepts these keys:
+
+- **Codex:** `approval_policy`, `sandbox_mode`,
+  `sandbox_workspace_write.{writable_roots,network_access,exclude_slash_tmp,exclude_tmpdir_env_var}`,
+  `web_search`, `features.multi_agent_v2`, and `features.network_proxy`. A network proxy object may
+  contain `enabled`, `proxy_url`, `socks_url`, `enable_socks5`, `enable_socks5_udp`,
+  `allow_local_binding`, `allow_upstream_proxy`, `dangerously_allow_all_unix_sockets`,
+  `dangerously_allow_non_loopback_proxy`, `domains`, and `unix_sockets`. See the
+  [Codex configuration reference](https://developers.openai.com/codex/config-reference).
+- **Claude:** `allowedTools`, `disallowedTools`, `additionalDirectories`, `sandbox`, and `settings`.
+  The accepted sandbox fields cover enablement, fail-if-unavailable behavior, excluded and
+  unsandboxed commands, filesystem read/write rules, network domain/socket/local-binding rules,
+  weaker nested sandboxing, ignored violations, and the ripgrep command. `settings` accepts native
+  `permissions.{allow,ask,deny}` and sandbox settings. See the
+  [Claude Agent SDK TypeScript reference](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/typescript)
+  and [Claude settings reference](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings).
+- **OpenCode:** `permission`, either one `ask`/`allow`/`deny` action or the native per-tool rule
+  object. Supported entries are `read`, `edit`, `glob`, `grep`, `list`, `bash`, `task`,
+  `external_directory`, `todowrite`, `question`, `webfetch`, `websearch`, `codesearch`,
+  `repo_clone`, `repo_overview`, `lsp`, `doom_loop`, and `skill`. See the
+  [OpenCode permissions reference](https://opencode.ai/docs/permissions/). OpenCode permissions are
+  application policy, not an OS sandbox.
+
+Each provider definition owns its option schema and exact MCP preapproval mapping. 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.

 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.

 ### Direct

 Implement the `AgentClient` and `AgentSession` interfaces from `agent-sdk-types.ts` yourself. This gives full control but requires you to handle process management, streaming, permissions, and session persistence from scratch.

-Existing direct providers: `claude` (in `providers/claude/agent.ts`), `codex` (`codex-app-server-agent.ts`), `opencode` (`opencode-agent.ts`), `pi` (`providers/pi/agent.ts`), and `omp` (a Pi-compatible built-in backed by the Pi adapter).

 Pi import discovery reads Pi's persisted JSONL session files because Pi RPC does not expose a recent-session listing command. Resume and full history hydration still go through `pi --mode rpc` using the session file as `nativeHandle`.

-OMP is a built-in Pi-compatible provider, disabled by default. It uses the `omp` command and imports terminal-started sessions from `~/.omp/agent/sessions` when enabled. Other Pi-compatible forks can still be custom providers that extend `pi`, override `command`, and set `params.sessionDir` to their JSONL session directory.
+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.

-Pi and OMP currently use different RPC names for slash-command discovery. The Pi package accepts `get_commands`; OMP accepts `get_available_commands`. Keep this as an explicit adapter setting for the built-in provider instead of probing with a fallback, because both packages return unknown-command errors without the request `id`, which otherwise turns a fast mismatch into the normal RPC timeout.
+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 owns user message IDs. Do not pass Paseo-generated IDs to OpenCode prompt APIs; let OpenCode create `msg*` IDs and record the user timeline item from the `message.updated` event.

-Every provider adapter owns its canonical user-message timeline rows. When a foreground prompt is accepted, the adapter must emit exactly one `user_message` timeline item for that submitted prompt, using the same message ID it gives to or receives from the provider runtime. Optimistic client messages are UI-only and provider transcript echoes are optional; neither is allowed to be the only source of truth. If the provider later echoes the same submitted user message, dedupe it only within the active turn. Prefer provider-visible message IDs, but ACP runtimes may omit that ID or replace it with a provider-owned one; in that case suppress only echo chunks whose accumulated text is a prefix of the active submitted prompt. Do not perform global transcript text dedupe.
+`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.

-Draft metadata lookups should avoid creating provider sessions when the upstream provider has top-level APIs for that metadata. Prefer `AgentClient.fetchCatalog`, `listCommands`, or `listFeatures` over creating a scratch `AgentSession`; scratch sessions can show up as empty native sessions in provider import/history UIs. `fetchCatalog` is the single discovery API for models and modes — provider implementations may use one process, separate upstream calls, or static data internally, but callers outside the provider do not get separate runtime model/mode probes. Draft feature and command listing must use the explicit draft model only; if no model is selected yet, return no metadata instead of resolving a default model through catalog discovery.
+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.

 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.

+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.
+
+## 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             |        |       |

+| 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).

+There are two supported release paths:

 1. **Direct stable release**: you are ready to ship the current `main` commit to everyone immediately.
-2. **Beta flow**: release candidates on the `beta` channel. Betas carry an in-place changelog entry (beta users check it), publish npm only on the explicit `beta` dist-tag, and never move the website download target off the latest stable.
+2. **Beta flow**: release candidates on the `beta` channel. Each beta carries its own changelog entry, publishes npm only on the explicit `beta` dist-tag, and stays behind the Stable/Beta switch on `/download`.

-## Standard release (patch)
+Paseo has one linear release track even though npm dist-tags are independent
+pointers. The npm invariant is:

-Before running any stable patch release command:
+- 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.

- Make sure the intended release commit is already committed to `main` and the working tree is clean.
+## 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.
 - **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 `npm run release:patch` as a substitute for checking whether the current commit is actually ready.

The tag push triggers `Desktop Release`, `Android APK Release`, `Docker`, and `Release Notes Sync` on GitHub Actions.

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`.
+
+After the stable release succeeds, move npm's `beta` pointer to the new stable
+version for every published package. This changes dist-tags only; do not
+republish the packages:
+
+```bash
+PASEO_VERSION=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")

+`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.

+- App Playwright shares one warmed Metro server per run and gives every Playwright worker its own isolated daemon and `PASEO_HOME`. Spec files run concurrently without exposing one file's projects, agents, terminals, history, or provider configuration to another worker; tests within a file remain together so file-level setup is not repeated.
+- Helpers that create projects or workspaces own those records until cleanup. Their clients remove the daemon project on close, and an automatic fixture fails any test that still leaks a project record. Deleting only the temporary directory is not cleanup. Agent helpers pass the intended `workspaceId` through to agent creation; they never infer ownership from `cwd`.
+- Tests whose subject is daemon-global state, such as an empty history or daemon restart, start a dedicated host explicitly. Filenames and directories describe product behavior, never execution order or isolation mechanics.
+- Global setup accepts Metro as ready only when `/status` returns `packager-status:running`, then fetches the document's scripts so the cold bundle compilation finishes before Playwright's per-test timeout starts. A generic TCP listener is not sufficient readiness evidence. The browser suite uses direct local daemon connections and does not start a relay.

+## 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, real-Electron, and packaged-app coverage together in the Ubuntu leg. CLI-side Hub changes select one focused test inside the existing required server jobs. Repository scripts and the shared Vitest configuration run every PR contract because they are cross-cutting toolchain inputs.

 ## Agent authentication in tests

@@ -5,9 +5,16 @@ Agent chat delivery has two paths:
 1. **Live stream** — `agent_stream` WebSocket messages for immediacy. These may be delta-shaped lifecycle updates.
 2. **Authoritative history** — `fetch_agent_timeline_request` for correctness. This always returns full projected timeline items, never lifecycle deltas.

-The invariant is:
+The invariants are:

-> If the daemon has committed timeline rows for an agent, any connected client that opens or resumes that agent eventually displays every row through the daemon's current tail.
+> A continuously subscribed client applies every committed row in order. Opening or resuming an

+> through backward pagination.
+
+Tool output is bounded before it enters either delivery path. Canonical shell tool output is sliced
+to 64 KiB, and the same bounded item is used for durable timeline rows and live stream events.
+Provider history hydration applies the same rule so reopening an agent cannot restore an oversized
+tool payload.

 ## Presence is not delivery

@@ -20,27 +27,183 @@ Client heartbeat reports presence:

 Heartbeat is used for notification routing. It must not be used as a correctness gate for `agent_stream` delivery. A stale mobile focus heartbeat may affect whether the user gets notified; it must not make timeline rows disappear from the live stream.

-## Catch-up is paged but complete
+## Gap recovery 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.

-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.
+Opening or resuming an agent fetches one bounded latest tail page. Older history remains
+user-driven by scrolling upward.
+
+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 that the epoch is current and the exact source sequence still exists before slicing rows. It slices before projection so later lifecycle updates cannot leak into the selected context.

 ## Resume behavior

-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.
+Opening, reconnecting, or revisiting after a selective-delivery coverage gap fetches the latest tail
+page.
+Focus alone does not mutate timeline state; the tail response is compared with the local
+authoritative range first.

-When a client resumes without a cursor, it fetches the latest tail page.
+- 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.
+
+## Client replica lifetime
+
+The host runtime owns each session replica for as long as the host remains registered. React
+providers attach message handlers and UI integrations to that replica, but mounting or unmounting a
+provider must not create or clear it. A provider can remount during Fast Refresh or ordinary UI
+recomposition while the runtime still owns the same directory snapshot and timeline cursors.
+
+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 durable replica cache is a display cache, not a synchronization checkpoint. Its timeline record
+contains only the focused `agentId` and a truncated item tail. It never persists a cursor, epoch,
+older-history availability, authority status, or sync generation because those facts would describe
+the complete source dataset rather than the truncated display dataset.
+
+Restoring that cache produces a painted timeline: the items may render immediately, but the first
+daemon timeline request is still `tail`. A successful tail response atomically establishes canonical
+items, range, and older-history availability. Live rows received between cache paint and that tail
+response stay in the separate live head, do not advance a cursor or trigger gap recovery, and are
+reconciled with the authoritative tail and subsequent catch-up.
+
+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 every agent visible in any pane plus the most recently viewed hidden
+  agents, up to five subscribed agents. Visible agents always win: if more than five are visible,
+  they all remain subscribed and no hidden agent does. Switching and app backgrounding preserve
+  this connection-scoped hot set, so returning to an agent still covered by it needs no catch-up.
+  Losing window keyboard focus does not make a selected pane invisible. Disconnecting clears hidden
+  hot agents; reconnect restores the currently visible set before authoritative catch-up. Revisiting
+  an evicted retained timeline displays its cached state immediately while authoritative catch-up
+  advances it to the current tail.
+- 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 automatic queue drain in `HostRuntime` — 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.
+
+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 and replica removal remain destructive close boundaries. 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.

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.

+- **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.
