+
+## 0.1.56 - 2026-04-14
+
+### Fixed
+- Projects with empty git repositories (no commits yet) no longer crash the app on startup.
+- A single problematic project can no longer prevent the rest of your workspaces from loading.
+
+## 0.1.55 - 2026-04-14
+
+### Added
+- Provider profiles — define custom providers in your Paseo config that appear alongside built-ins. Override a built-in's binary, env, or models, or create entirely new providers. See the [configuration guide](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/blob/main/docs/CUSTOM-PROVIDERS.md).
+- ACP agent support — add any ACP-compatible agent to Paseo with `extends: "acp"` in your provider config. No code changes needed.
+- Choose provider and model when creating scheduled agents.
+- Max reasoning effort option for Opus 4.6 models.
+- Cmd+, (Ctrl+, on Windows/Linux) opens settings.
+
+### Improved
+- Git operations are dramatically faster — workspace status, PR checks, and branch data all use a shared cached snapshot service instead of shelling out to git on every request. Running 20+ workspaces simultaneously is now smooth.
+- Windows support — the daemon and CLI run natively on Windows with proper shell quoting, executable resolution, and path handling.
+- iPad and tablet layouts work correctly across all screen sizes.
+- IME composition (Chinese, Japanese, Korean input) no longer submits prematurely when pressing Enter.
+
+### Fixed
+- Creating a worktree no longer briefly flashes it as a standalone project before placing it under the correct repository.
+- Worktree creation spinner stays visible throughout the process instead of disappearing on mouse-out.
+- Workspace navigation updates correctly when switching between workspaces in the same project.
+- Desktop workspace header alignment and model selector no longer overflow on narrow windows.
+- Loading indicators are visible in light mode.
+
+## 0.1.54 - 2026-04-12
+
+### Added
+- Inline image previews in agent messages — screenshots and images generated by agents render directly in the conversation instead of showing as raw markdown links.
+
+### Improved
+- Paseo tools are no longer injected into agents by default — opt in from Settings when you need agent-to-agent orchestration.
+- Agent provider and mode are now resolved server-side, so CLI commands like `paseo run` use consistent defaults without client-side lookups.
+
+### Fixed
+- Shift+Enter now correctly inserts a newline in agent terminal input instead of submitting.
+- Windows: MCP configuration is no longer mangled when spawning Claude agents.
+- Branch ahead/behind count no longer errors for branches with no remote tracking branch.
+
+## 0.1.53 - 2026-04-12
+
+### Added
+- Agents get Paseo tools automatically — every new agent gets access to terminals, schedules, worktrees, and other agents through MCP. Toggle it off in Settings under "Inject Paseo tools".
+- Git pull — pull remote changes directly from the workspace header. Promoted to the primary action when your branch is behind origin.
+- Child agent notifications — parent agents are automatically notified when a child agent finishes, errors, or needs permission approval.
+- Agent reload — `paseo agent reload` restarts an agent's underlying process from the CLI.
+- Middle-click to close tabs on desktop.
+- Keyboard shortcut to cycle themes.
+
+### Improved
+- Unavailable git actions now explain why in a toast instead of being silently greyed out.
+- Streaming markdown on mobile renders significantly faster.
+- Sidebar, branch switcher, and agent panel no longer re-render unnecessarily — noticeable on large workspaces.
+- Paseo tool calls in agent timelines show the Paseo logo and human-readable names.
+- Relay and pairing URLs are stripped from daemon logs.
+
+### Fixed
+- Closed agent tabs no longer reappear after reconnecting.
+- Desktop notification badge counts match across all workspaces.
+- Host switcher status syncs correctly when switching between hosts.
+
+## 0.1.52 - 2026-04-10
+
+### Added
+- Theme selector — choose from six themes including Midnight, Claude, and Ghostty dark variants.
+- Branch switching — switch git branches directly from the workspace header, with automatic stash and restore for uncommitted changes.
+- Auto-download updates — desktop updates download silently in the background so they're ready to install when you are.
+
+### Fixed
+- Layout now responds correctly when resizing the window or rotating a tablet — previously the app could get stuck in mobile layout on a large screen.
+- Terminal no longer causes massive memory spikes from snapshot thrashing during heavy output.
+- Typing in the terminal works reliably — special keys, Ctrl combos, and paste are handled natively by the terminal emulator.
+- Initializing agents no longer show a loading spinner as if they're running.
+- Reconnecting to a running agent now works even when session persistence is unavailable.
+- Error screens on desktop are now scrollable.
+- Model list refreshes in the background when you open the model selector.
+- Draft agent feature preferences (like thinking mode) are remembered across sessions.
+
+## 0.1.51 - 2026-04-09
+
+### Added
+- Image attachments for OpenCode — attach screenshots and images to OpenCode agent prompts.
+- WebStorm — added to the "Open in editor" list alongside Cursor, VS Code, and Zed.
+- Send behavior setting — choose whether pressing Enter while an agent is running interrupts immediately or queues your message.
+
+### Fixed
+- Model selector no longer crashes on iPad.
+- Pairing now uses the correct hostname, fixing connection failures on some network setups.
+- OpenCode agents show the correct terminal state and refresh models reliably.
+- Follow-up messages to agents that just finished a turn now work correctly.
+- Commands now load properly for Pi agents.
+- Internal debug output no longer appears in Claude agent timelines.
+- QR scan screen cleaned up with simpler visuals.
+
+## 0.1.50 - 2026-04-07
+
+### Added
+- Context window meter — see how much of the context window your agent has used, with color thresholds at 70% and 90%. Works with Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.
+- Open in editor — jump from any workspace straight into Cursor, VS Code, Zed, or your file manager. Paseo remembers your choice.
+- Side-by-side diffs — toggle between unified and split-column diff views, with a whitespace visibility option.
+- Spoken messages — when using voice mode, agent speech now appears as regular messages in the conversation instead of raw tool output.
+- Plan actions — plan cards now show the actions your agent supports (e.g. "Implement", "Deny") instead of generic accept/reject buttons.
+- Background git fetch — ahead/behind counts in the Changes pane stay up to date automatically.
+
+### Improved
+- Workspaces load instantly on connect instead of waiting for a full sync.
+- File explorer and diff pane remember which folders are expanded when you switch tabs.
+- Closing a workspace tab is now instant.
+- Settings shows a Refresh button for providers and displays error details inline.
+- Reload agent moved away from the close button to prevent accidental taps.
+
+### Fixed
+- Voice mode no longer drifts into false speech detection during long sessions.
+- Garbled overlapping text on plan cards.
+- Changes pane could show stale diffs when working with git worktrees.
+- Restarting an agent quickly could crash the session.
+- Copilot no longer pauses for permission prompts in autopilot mode.
+- Connection and pairing dialogs now display correctly on tablets.
+- Orchestration errors from agents are now surfaced instead of silently lost.
+- Diff stats no longer reset to zero when reconnecting.
+
+## 0.1.49 - 2026-04-07
+
+### Fixed
+- Models and providers now load reliably on first connect instead of requiring a manual refresh.
+- Model picker only shows models from the agent's own provider, not every provider on the server.
+- Model lists stay consistent regardless of which screen you open first.
+
+## 0.1.48 - 2026-04-05
+
+### Added
+- Provider diagnostics — tap a provider in Settings to see binary path, version, model count, and status at a glance. Helps troubleshoot why an agent type isn't available.
+- Provider snapshot system — daemon now pushes real-time provider availability and model lists to the app, replacing the old poll-based approach. Models and modes update live as providers come online or go offline.
+- Codex question handling — Codex agents can now ask the user questions mid-session (e.g. "which file?") and receive answers inline, matching the Claude Code question flow.
+- Reload tab action — right-click a workspace tab to reload its agent list without restarting the app.
+
+### Improved
+- Model selector redesigned — grouped by provider with status badges, search, and better touch targets on mobile.
+- Enter key now submits question card answers and confirms dictation, matching the expected keyboard flow.
+- Removed noisy agent lifecycle toasts that fired on every state change.
+
+### Fixed
+- Desktop app now resolves the user's full login shell environment at startup, fixing tools like `codex`, `node`, `bun`, and `direnv` not being found when Paseo is launched from Finder or Dock. Terminals spawned by Paseo now inherit the same PATH and environment variables as a normal terminal session. Approach adapted from VS Code's battle-tested shell environment resolution.
+- Input field on running agent screens now correctly receives keyboard focus.
+- Mobile model selector alignment and sizing.
+
+## 0.1.47 - 2026-04-05
+
+### Fixed
+- Voice TTS in Electron — sherpa now requests copied buffers and the voice MCP bridge sets `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE`, preventing "external buffers not allowed" crashes.
+- QR pairing in desktop — CLI JSON output parsing now tolerates Node deprecation warnings in stdout.
+- STT segment race condition — segment ID and audio buffer are snapshotted before the async transcription call, so rapid commits no longer interleave.
+- Per-host "Add connection" button removed — it blocked multi-host setups by scoping new connections to a single server.
+
+## 0.1.46 - 2026-04-04
+
+### Fixed
+- Voice activation in packaged builds — Silero VAD model is now copied out of the Electron asar archive so native code can read it.
+- App version sent in probe client hello so the daemon's version gate no longer hides Pi/Copilot from reconnected sessions.
+- `worktreeRoot` schema made backward-compatible for old clients and daemons that don't send the field.
+- Punycode deprecation warning (DEP0040) suppressed in CLI and desktop daemon entrypoints.
+
+## 0.1.45 - 2026-04-04
+
+### Added
+- Pi (pi.dev) agent provider — connect Pi as a new ACP-based agent type with thinking levels and tool call support.
+- Copilot agent provider re-enabled after ACP compatibility fixes.
+- `paseo .` and `paseo <path>` open the desktop app with the given project, similar to `code .`.
+- Provider-declared features system — providers can expose dynamic toggles and selects that the app renders automatically. First consumer: Codex fast mode.
+- Codex plan mode — start agents in plan-only mode with a dedicated plan card UI for reviewing proposed changes before execution.
+- OpenCode custom agents and slash commands — user-defined agents from opencode.json now appear in the mode picker, and slash commands accept optional arguments.
+- Desktop Integrations settings — install the Paseo CLI and orchestration skills directly from the app without touching the terminal.
+- Daemon status dialog in desktop settings for quick health checks.
+- Auto-restart daemon on version mismatch — the desktop app detects when the running daemon is outdated and restarts it automatically.
+- Setup hint and paseo.sh link on the mobile welcome screen so new App Store users know what to do next.
+
+### Improved
+- Desktop startup is faster — existing daemon connections are raced against bootstrap so the app is usable sooner.
+- Settings sections reordered for better grouping (integrations and daemon together).
+- Sidebar projects and workspaces now persist across sessions, with a context menu to remove projects.
+
+### Fixed
+- Sidebar crash when switching iOS theme (Unistyles/Reanimated interaction).
+- Silero VAD crash caused by external buffer mode in CircularBuffer.
+- Bulk close now correctly archives stored agents instead of leaving orphans.
+- Pinned archived agents are no longer pruned when closing tabs.
+- OpenCode event stream starvation during slash command execution.
+- Duplicate workspaces when multiple git worktrees share the same root.
+- `gh` executable resolution for desktop users whose login shell sets a different PATH.
+- Agent creation timeout increased to 60s to handle slow first-launch scenarios.
+- Forward-compatible provider handling so older app clients don't break on new provider types.
+- Input event listener race condition in the web scrollbar hook.
+- Open-project screen content now vertically centered.
+- Website download page fetches the release version at runtime with asset validation, fixing stale links.
+
+## 0.1.44 - 2026-04-03
+
+### Fixed
+- Desktop app now stops the daemon cleanly before auto-update restarts.
+- Disabled claude-acp and copilot providers from the agent registry.
+- Keyboard focus scope resolution now checks multiple candidates for broader compatibility.
+- OpenCode interrupt now reaches correct terminal state parity with tool-call flows.
+- Shell injection, symlink escape, and pairing endpoint security hardening.
+
+## 0.1.43 - 2026-04-02
+
+### Added
+- Copilot agent support via ACP base provider — connect GitHub Copilot as a new agent type.
+- Searchable model favorites — quickly find and pin preferred models.
+- Slash command support for OpenCode agents.
+
+### Improved
+- Refined model selector UX with better mobile sheet behavior.
+- Workspace status now uses amber alert styling for "needs input" state.
+- Themed scrollbar on message input for consistent styling.
+
+### Fixed
+- Ctrl+C/V copy and paste now works correctly in the terminal on Windows and Linux.
+- Shell arguments with spaces are now properly quoted on Windows.
+- Claude models with 1M context support are now correctly reported.
+
+## 0.1.42 - 2026-04-01
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed Claude Code failing to launch on Windows when installed to a path with spaces (e.g. `C:\Program Files\...`).
+
+## 0.1.41 - 2026-04-01
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed agent spawning on Windows — all providers (Claude, Codex, OpenCode) now use shell mode so npm shims and `.cmd` wrappers resolve correctly.
+- Fixed terminal creation on Windows defaulting to a Unix shell instead of `cmd.exe`.
+- Fixed path handling across the app to support Windows drive-letter paths (`C:\...`) and UNC paths (`\\...`).
+- Fixed executable resolution on Windows to work with `nvm4w` and similar Node version managers.
+- Eliminated white flash on window resize in dark mode by setting the native window background color to match the theme.
+- Fixed titlebar drag region — replaced the fragile pointer-event approach with VS Code's proven static CSS `app-region: drag` pattern.
+- Fixed context menu for copy/paste across the desktop app.
+- Fixed shortcut rebinding UI to show held modifier keys and recognize additional keys (Tab, Delete, Home, End, Page Up/Down, Insert, F1–F12).
+- Removed the 40-item cap on activity timeline output so long agent sessions display their full history.
+
+### Improved
+- Improved light mode theming with dedicated workspace background, scrollbar handle colors, and lighter shadows.
+- Window controls overlay on Windows/Linux reduced from 48px to 29px height for a more compact titlebar.
+
+## 0.1.40 - 2026-04-01
+
+### Added
+- Workspace tabs can now be closed in batches.
+
+### Improved
+- Provider model lists are now cached per server and provider, reducing redundant model lookups in the UI.
+
+### Fixed
+- OpenCode reasoning content no longer appears duplicated as assistant text.
+- Daemon no longer crashes when a Codex binary is missing or fails to spawn.
+- Archive tab now correctly reconciles agent visibility after archiving.
+- File diff tracking in workspaces now works correctly on Linux.
+- iPad layout now renders correctly in desktop mode.
+- macOS auto-updater now correctly delivers both arm64 and x64 binaries — previously whichever architecture finished building last would overwrite the other's update manifest.
+
+## 0.1.39 - 2026-03-30
+
+### Added
+- **Terminal management from the CLI** — new `paseo terminal` command group lets you list, create, and interact with workspace terminals without leaving your terminal.
+- **Material file icons in the explorer** — the file explorer tree now shows language-specific icons (TypeScript, JSON, Markdown, etc.) so you can spot files at a glance.
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed iOS sidebar scroll flicker caused by redundant overflow clipping.
+- Centralized window controls padding into a shared hook, eliminating layout inconsistencies across platforms.
+
+## 0.1.38 - 2026-03-30
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed daemon startup race where the app could time out connecting on first launch because the PID file advertised a listen address before the server was ready.
+- Fixed daemon log rotation losing startup traces — trace-level WebSocket logs no longer include full message payloads.
+
+## 0.1.37 - 2026-03-29
+
+### Added
+- Custom window controls on Windows and Linux — the native titlebar is replaced with overlay controls that match the app's design.
+- Desktop file logging with electron-log for easier debugging of daemon and app issues.
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed broken PATH propagation and Claude binary resolution on Windows.
+- Dictation errors now show a visible toast instead of failing silently.
+

+- Codex file deletions now display correctly as removed lines in diffs.
+- OpenCode questions are now surfaced in the permission UI.
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed queued prompt dispatch after idle transition.
+- Replaced bash-only `mapfile` with a portable `while-read` loop in the chat script.
+
+### Added
+- Added support for Nix and NixOS installation.
+
+## 0.1.34 - 2026-03-25
+
+### Added

+- Added the `PASEO_AGENT_ID` environment variable for Claude and Codex agents.
+- Added a redesigned command autocomplete with a detail card and dropdown styling.
+- Linked Android download surfaces to the Google Play Store.
+
+### Improved

+- Pruned wrong-platform native binaries from Electron desktop builds.
+
+## 0.1.33 - 2026-03-23
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed the desktop app failing to reopen after closing on macOS — the daemon and agent processes were registering with Launch Services as instances of the main app, blocking subsequent launches.
+- Fixed dictation not working in the packaged desktop app — the microphone entitlement was missing from the hardened runtime configuration.
+- Fixed leaked Claude Code child processes when agents were closed — the SDK query stream was not being properly shut down.
+- The notification test button now surfaces errors instead of failing silently.
+
+## 0.1.32 - 2026-03-23
+
+### Added
+- Fully rebindable keyboard shortcuts with chord support — all shortcuts are now declarative with proper Cmd (Mac) vs Ctrl (Windows/Linux) separation.
+- Migrated the desktop app from Tauri to Electron, with macOS notarization, code signing, and Linux Wayland support.

+- Expanded diff syntax highlighting to cover more languages.
+- Added status bar tooltips for project and agent status.
+
+### Improved
+- Redesigned the mobile tab switcher as a compact header row with quick access to new agents and terminals.
+- Streamlined workspace creation — worktrees are now created inline with a single action instead of a multi-step flow.
+- Agent history now streams from disk on reconnect, so you see past messages immediately instead of a blank screen.
+- Automatic cleanup of stale workspaces: deleted worktree directories and fully-archived workspaces are pruned automatically.
+- After archiving a workspace, the app now redirects to the next available workspace instead of leaving you on a dead screen.
+- Reopening an archived agent tab now keeps it open instead of collapsing back to archived state.
+- Reduced unnecessary re-renders across the workspace screen, sidebar, and agent list for smoother scrolling and interaction.
+- Agent list no longer refreshes in the background when the screen is unfocused, saving resources.
+- Desktop key repeat now works correctly on macOS.

 - **NEVER restart the main Paseo daemon on port 6767 without permission** — it manages all running agents. If you're an agent, restarting it kills your own process.
 - **NEVER assume a timeout means the service needs restarting** — timeouts can be transient.
 - **NEVER add auth checks to tests** — agent providers handle their own auth.
+- **NEVER run the full test suite locally.** The test suites are heavy and will freeze the machine, especially if multiple agents run them in parallel. Rules:
+  - Run only the specific test file you changed: `npx vitest run <file> --bail=1`
+  - Never run `npm run test` for an entire workspace unless explicitly asked.
+  - If you must run a broad suite, pipe output to a file and read it afterward: `npx vitest run <file> --bail=1 > /tmp/test-output.txt 2>&1` then read the file.
+  - Never re-run a test suite that another agent already ran and reported green — trust the result.
+  - For full suite verification, push to CI and check GitHub Actions instead.
 - **Always run typecheck after every change.**
+- **Run `npm run format` before committing.** This repo uses Biome for formatting. Do not manually fix formatting — let the formatter handle it.
+- **NEVER make breaking changes to WebSocket or message schemas.** The primary compatibility path is old mobile app clients talking to newly updated daemons. Users update desktop and daemon first, then keep running the old app for a while. Every schema change MUST be backward-compatible for old clients against new daemons:
+  - New fields: always `.optional()` with a sensible default or `.transform()` fallback.
+  - Never change a field from optional to required.
+  - Never remove a field — deprecate it (keep accepting it, stop sending it).
+  - Never narrow a field's type (e.g. `string` → `enum`, `nullable` → non-null).
+  - Test with: "does a 6-month-old client still parse this?" and "does a 6-month-old daemon still send something this client accepts?"
 
-## Orchestrator mode
+## Platform gating
 
-- Prefix agent titles with "🎭" (e.g., "🎭 Feature Implementation")
-- Launch agents in the most permissive mode
-- Set cwd to the repository root
-- When agent control tool calls fail, list agents first — it may be a wait timeout
+The app runs on iOS, Android, web (browser), and web (Electron desktop). Code is cross-platform by default. Gate only when you must. Import gates from `@/constants/platform`.
+
+### The four gates
+
+| Gate | Type | When to use |
+|---|---|---|
+| `isWeb` | constant | DOM APIs — `document`, `window`, `<div>`, `addEventListener`, `ResizeObserver`. This is the **exception**, not the default. |
+| `isNative` | constant | Native-only APIs — Haptics, `StatusBar.currentHeight`, push tokens, camera/scanner, `expo-av`. |
+| `getIsElectron()` | cached fn | Desktop wrapper features — file dialogs, titlebar drag region, daemon management, app updates, dock badges. |
+| `useIsCompactFormFactor()` | hook | Layout decisions — sidebar overlay vs pinned, modal vs full screen, single-panel vs split. From `@/constants/layout`. |
+
+### Decision matrix
+
+| I need to... | Use |
+|---|---|
+| Access DOM (`document`, `window`, `<div>`, `addEventListener`) | `if (isWeb)` |
+| Use a native-only API (Haptics, push tokens, camera) | `if (isNative)` |
+| Use an Electron bridge (file dialog, titlebar, updates) | `if (getIsElectron())` |
+| Switch layout between phone and tablet/desktop | `useIsCompactFormFactor()` |
+| Show something on hover, always-visible on native | `isHovered \|\| isNative \|\| isCompact` (hover only works on web) |
+| Gate to iOS or Android specifically | `Platform.OS === "ios"` / `Platform.OS === "android"` (rare, keep inline) |
+
+### Rules
+
+- **Default is cross-platform.** Don't gate unless you have a specific reason.
+- **Prefer Metro file extensions over `if` statements.** When a module has fundamentally different implementations per platform, use `.web.ts` / `.native.ts` file extensions instead of runtime `if (isWeb)` branches. Metro resolves the correct file at build time — the unused platform code is never bundled. Reserve `if (isWeb)` for small, inline checks (a single line or a few props). If you find yourself writing a large `if (isWeb) { ... } else { ... }` block, split into separate files instead.
+  ```
+  hooks/
+    use-audio-recorder.web.ts    ← uses Web Audio API
+    use-audio-recorder.native.ts ← uses expo-audio
+  ```
+  Import as `@/hooks/use-audio-recorder` — Metro picks the right file automatically.
+- **NEVER use raw DOM APIs without `isWeb` guard.** DOM APIs crash native. Casting a RN ref to `HTMLElement` is a red flag — ensure the block is web-only.
+- **NEVER use `onPointerEnter`/`onPointerLeave`.** They don't fire on native iOS.
+- **Hover only works on web.** React Native's `onHoverIn`/`onHoverOut` on `Pressable` does NOT fire on native iOS/iPad — the underlying W3C pointer events are behind disabled experimental flags. For hover-to-show UI (kebab menus, action buttons), use `isHovered || isNative || isCompact` so the controls are always visible on native and hover-to-show on web.
+- **Don't use Platform.OS as a proxy for layout capabilities.** Use breakpoints for layout decisions, not platform checks.
+- **Import `isWeb`/`isNative` from `@/constants/platform`.** Never write `const isWeb = Platform.OS === "web"` locally.

+# Contributing to Paseo
+
+Thanks for taking the time to contribute.
+
+## How this project works
+
+Paseo is a BDFL project. Product direction, scope, and what ships are the maintainer's call.
+
+This means:
+
+- PRs submitted without prior discussion will likely be rejected, heavily modified, or scoped down.
+- The maintainer may rewrite, split, cherry-pick from, or close any PR at their discretion.
+- There is no obligation to merge a PR as-submitted, regardless of code quality.
+
+This is not meant to discourage contributions. It is meant to set clear expectations so nobody wastes their time.
+
+## How to contribute
+
+1. **Open an issue first.** Describe the problem or improvement. Get a thumbs up before writing code.
+2. **Keep it small.** One bug, one flow, one focused change.
+3. **Open a PR** once there is alignment on scope.
+
+If you want to propose a direction change, start a conversation.
+
+## Before you start
+
+Please read these first:
+
+- [README.md](README.md)
+- [docs/ARCHITECTURE.md](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md)
+- [docs/DEVELOPMENT.md](docs/DEVELOPMENT.md)
+- [docs/CODING_STANDARDS.md](docs/CODING_STANDARDS.md)
+- [docs/TESTING.md](docs/TESTING.md)
+- [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md)
+
+## What is most helpful
+
+The most useful contributions right now are:
+
+- bug fixes
+- windows and linux specific fixes
+- regression fixes
+- doc improvements
+- packaging / platform fixes
+- focused UX improvements that fit the existing product direction
+- tests that lock down important behavior
+
+## Scope expectations
+
+Please keep PRs narrow.
+
+Good:
+
+- fix one bug
+- improve one flow
+- add one focused panel or command
+- tighten one piece of UI
+
+Bad:
+
+- combine multiple product ideas in one PR
+- bundle unrelated refactors with a feature
+- sneak in roadmap decisions
+
+If a contribution contains multiple ideas, split it up.
+
+## Product fit matters
+
+Paseo is an opinionated product.
+
+When reviewing contributions, the bar is not just:
+
+- is this useful?
+- is this well implemented?
+
+It is also:
+
+- does this fit Paseo?
+- does this add product surface that will be hard to maintain?
+- does the value justify the maintenance surface it adds?
+- does this solve a common need or over-serve an edge case?
+- does this preserve the product's current direction?
+
+## Development setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js matching `.tool-versions`
+- npm workspaces
+
+### Start local development
+
+```bash
+# runs both daemon and expo app
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Useful commands:
+
+```bash
+npm run dev:server
+npm run dev:app
+npm run dev:desktop
+npm run dev:website
+npm run cli -- ls -a -g
+```
+
+Read [docs/DEVELOPMENT.md](docs/DEVELOPMENT.md) for build-sync gotchas, local state, ports, and daemon details.
+
+## Multi-platform testing
+
+Paseo ships to mobile (iOS/Android), web, and desktop (Electron). Every UI change must be tested on mobile and web at minimum, and desktop if relevant. Things that look fine on one surface regularly break on another.
+
+Common checks:
+
+```bash
+npm run typecheck
+npm run test --workspaces --if-present
+```
+
+Important rules:
+
+- always run `npm run typecheck` after changes
+- tests should be deterministic
+- prefer real dependencies over mocks when possible
+- do not make breaking WebSocket / protocol changes
+- app and daemon versions in the wild lag each other, so compatibility matters
+
+If you touch protocol or shared client/server behavior, read the compatibility notes in [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md).
+
+## Coding standards
+
+Paseo has explicit standards. Follow them.
+
+The full guide lives in [docs/CODING_STANDARDS.md](docs/CODING_STANDARDS.md).
+
+## PR checklist
+
+Before opening a PR, make sure:
+
+- there was prior discussion and alignment on scope (issue or conversation)
+- the change is focused, one idea per PR
+- the PR description explains what changed and why
+- **UI changes include screenshots or videos** for every affected platform (mobile, web, desktop)
+- UI changes have been tested on mobile and web at minimum
+- typecheck passes
+- tests pass, or you clearly explain what could not be run
+- relevant docs were updated if needed
+
+## Communication
+
+If you are unsure whether something fits, ask first.
+
+That is especially true for:
+
+- new core UX
+- naming / terminology changes
+- new extension points
+- new orchestration models
+- anything that would be hard to remove later
+
+Early alignment saves everyone time.
+
+## Forks are fine
+
+If you want to explore a different product direction, a fork is completely fine.
+
+Paseo is open source on purpose. Not every idea needs to land in the main repo to be valuable.

+- **Privacy-first:** Paseo doesn't have any telemetry, tracking, or forced log-ins.
 
 ## Getting Started
 
-Download the desktop app from [paseo.sh](https://paseo.sh) or the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/releases) — it bundles the daemon so there's nothing else to install.
+Paseo runs a local server called the daemon that manages your coding agents. Clients like the desktop app, mobile app, web app, and CLI connect to it.
 
-### Headless / server mode
+### Prerequisites
 
-To run the daemon on a remote or headless machine:
+You need at least one agent CLI installed and configured with your credentials:
+
+- [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)
+- [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex)
+- [OpenCode](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode)
+
+### Desktop app (recommended)
+
+Download it from [paseo.sh/download](https://paseo.sh/download) or the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/releases). Open the app and the daemon starts automatically. Nothing else to install.
+
+To connect from your phone, scan the QR code shown in Settings.
+
+### CLI / headless
+
+Install the CLI and start Paseo:
 
 ```bash
 npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
 paseo
 ```
 
-Then connect from the desktop app, mobile app, or CLI.
+This shows a QR code in the terminal. Connect from any client. This path is useful for servers and remote machines.
 
 For full setup and configuration, see:
 - [Docs](https://paseo.sh/docs)
 - [Configuration reference](https://paseo.sh/docs/configuration)
 
+## CLI
+
+Everything you can do in the app, you can do from the terminal.
+
+```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                           # list running agents
+paseo attach abc123                # stream live output
+paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # follow-up task
+
+# run on a remote daemon
+paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"
+```
+
+See the [full CLI reference](https://paseo.sh/docs/cli) for more.
+
+## Orchestration skills (Unstable)
+
+Experimental skills that teach agents how to use the Paseo CLI to orchestrate other agents. I am updating these very frequently as I learn new things, expect changes without notice, might be coupled to my own setup, use at your own risk.
+
+```bash
+npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
+```
+
+Then use them in any agent conversation:
+
+```bash
+# Use handoff when you discuss something with an agent but want another one to implement.
+# I use this to plan with Claude and then handoff to Codex to implement.
+/paseo-handoff hand off the authentication fix to codex 5.4 in a worktree
+
+# Use loops when you have clear acceptance criteria (aka Ralph loops).
+/paseo-loop loop a codex agent to fix the backend tests, use sonnet to verify, max 10 iterations
+
+# Orchestrator teaches the agent how to create teams and manage them via a chat room.
+# Very opinionated and expects both Codex and Claude to work.
+/paseo-orchestrator spin up a team to implement the database refactor, use chat to coordinate. use claude to plan and codex to implement and review
+```
+

 ### Trust model
 
 The QR code or pairing link is the trust anchor. It contains the daemon's public key, which is required to establish the encrypted connection. Treat it like a password — don't share it publicly.
 
+## Local daemon trust boundary
+
+By default, the daemon binds to `127.0.0.1`. The local control plane is trusted by network reachability, not by an additional authentication token.
+
+Anything that can reach the daemon socket can control the daemon. This is the same security model Docker documents for its daemon: the security boundary is access to the socket or listening address.
+
+If you expose the daemon beyond loopback, such as by binding to `0.0.0.0`, forwarding it through a tunnel or reverse proxy, or publishing it from a Docker container, you are responsible for restricting and securing that access.
+
+For remote access, use the relay connection. It is the supported path for reaching the daemon off-machine, and it adds end-to-end encryption plus a pairing handshake before commands are accepted.
+
+Host header validation and CORS origin checks are defense-in-depth controls for localhost exposure. They help block DNS rebinding and browser-based attacks, but they do not replace network isolation.
+
 ## DNS rebinding protection
 
 CORS is not a complete security boundary. It controls which browser origins can make requests, but does not prevent a malicious website from resolving its domain to your local machine (DNS rebinding).

+# Ad-hoc daemon testing
+
+Spin up an isolated daemon programmatically without touching the main daemon on port 6767.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```typescript
+import os from "node:os";
+import path from "node:path";
+import { mkdir, mkdtemp, rm } from "node:fs/promises";
+import pino from "pino";
+import { createPaseoDaemon } from "./bootstrap.js";
+import { DaemonClient } from "./test-utils/daemon-client.js";
+
+const logger = pino({ level: "warn" });
+const paseoHomeRoot = await mkdtemp(path.join(os.tmpdir(), "paseo-test-"));
+const paseoHome = path.join(paseoHomeRoot, ".paseo");
+await mkdir(paseoHome, { recursive: true });
+const staticDir = await mkdtemp(path.join(os.tmpdir(), "paseo-static-"));
+
+const daemon = await createPaseoDaemon(
+  {
+    listen: "127.0.0.1:0", // OS picks a free port
+    paseoHome,
+    corsAllowedOrigins: [],
+    hostnames: true,
+    mcpEnabled: false,
+    staticDir,
+    mcpDebug: false,
+    agentClients: {},
+    agentStoragePath: path.join(paseoHome, "agents"),
+    relayEnabled: false,
+    relayEndpoint: "relay.paseo.sh:443",
+    appBaseUrl: "https://app.paseo.sh",
+    // Add custom config here, e.g.:
+    // providerOverrides: { ... },
+  },
+  logger,
+);
+
+await daemon.start();
+const target = daemon.getListenTarget();
+const port = target!.type === "tcp" ? target!.port : null;
+
+const client = new DaemonClient({
+  url: `ws://127.0.0.1:${port}/ws`,
+  appVersion: "0.1.54", // see gotcha #1
+});
+await client.connect();
+await client.fetchAgents({ subscribe: { subscriptionId: "test" } });
+
+// ... do your testing ...
+
+await client.close();
+await daemon.stop();
+await rm(paseoHomeRoot, { recursive: true, force: true });
+await rm(staticDir, { recursive: true, force: true });
+```
+
+Run with:
+```bash
+npx tsx packages/server/src/server/your-script.ts
+```
+
+## Using the test helper
+
+For simpler cases, `createTestPaseoDaemon` + `DaemonClient` handles temp dirs and port selection:
+
+```typescript
+import { createTestPaseoDaemon } from "./test-utils/paseo-daemon.js";
+import { DaemonClient } from "./test-utils/daemon-client.js";
+
+const daemon = await createTestPaseoDaemon();
+const client = new DaemonClient({
+  url: `ws://127.0.0.1:${daemon.port}/ws`,
+  appVersion: "0.1.54",
+});
+await client.connect();
+await client.fetchAgents({ subscribe: { subscriptionId: "test" } });
+
+// ... test ...
+
+await client.close();
+await daemon.close(); // stops daemon + cleans up temp dirs
+```
+
+The test helper does **not** expose `providerOverrides`. Use `createPaseoDaemon` directly when you need it (see quick start above).
+
+## Common client methods
+
+```typescript
+// Provider discovery
+const snapshot = await client.getProvidersSnapshot({ cwd: "/tmp" });
+const models = await client.listProviderModels("claude");
+const modes = await client.listProviderModes("claude");
+
+// Agent lifecycle
+const agent = await client.createAgent({ provider: "claude", cwd: "/tmp" });
+await client.sendMessage(agent.id, "Hello");
+const updated = await client.waitForAgentUpsert(agent.id, (s) => s.status === "idle");
+```
+
+## Gotchas
+
+### 1. appVersion gates provider visibility
+
+The daemon hides non-legacy providers (anything other than claude, codex, opencode) from clients that don't send an `appVersion >= 0.1.45`. The `DaemonClient` sends no version by default, so custom providers like ACP-based ones will be invisible in snapshot responses.
+
+Always pass `appVersion`:
+```typescript
+const client = new DaemonClient({
+  url: `ws://127.0.0.1:${port}/ws`,
+  appVersion: "0.1.54",
+});
+```
+
+### 2. Provider snapshots are async
+
+After the daemon starts, providers are probed in the background. The first `getProvidersSnapshot()` call will likely return `status: "loading"` for most providers. Poll until the provider you care about is no longer loading:
+
+```typescript
+let snapshot = await client.getProvidersSnapshot({ cwd: "/tmp" });
+for (let i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
+  const entry = snapshot.entries.find((e) => e.provider === "gemini");
+  if (entry && entry.status !== "loading") break;
+  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2_000));
+  snapshot = await client.getProvidersSnapshot({ cwd: "/tmp" });
+}
+```
+
+### 3. fetchAgents is required before most operations
+
+Call `client.fetchAgents()` after connecting. The daemon session expects this handshake before it processes other requests — without it, messages like `get_providers_snapshot_request` will silently hang.
+
+### 4. listen: "127.0.0.1:0" for port allocation
+
+Always use port `0` so the OS picks a free port. Never hardcode a port — it will collide with the main daemon or other test runs.
+
+### 5. Script must live inside packages/server
+
+The test utilities use relative imports through the TypeScript project. Place your script somewhere under `packages/server/src/` and import from there. Scripts outside the repo will fail with module resolution errors.
+
+### 6. Cleanup on failure
+
+Wrap your test logic in try/finally to ensure the daemon stops and temp dirs are cleaned up, even if an assertion fails:
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  // ... test logic ...
+} finally {
+  await client.close();
+  await daemon.stop().catch(() => undefined);
+  await rm(paseoHomeRoot, { recursive: true, force: true });
+}
+```
+
+### 7. ACP providers spawn real processes
+
+When testing ACP providers (e.g., Gemini with `extends: "acp"`), the daemon will spawn real processes to probe for models and modes. The binary must be installed and on PATH. Probing can take 5-15 seconds depending on the provider.

+# Attachment-Based Review Context Plan
+
+## Goal
+
+Use structured attachments as the source of truth for review context during agent creation.
+
+This covers two related behaviors:
+
+1. Provider-facing context for the agent prompt
+2. Worktree checkout behavior when creating a worktree from a review item
+
+The design should stay compatible with future forge support such as GitLab.
+
+## Core Direction
+
+- Do not parse the prompt to discover issue/PR intent.
+- Do not introduce deeply nested transport objects for this flow.
+- Make the attachment itself the discriminated union.
+- Keep forge-specific checkout logic below the attachment layer.
+- Let each agent provider translate attachments into its own prompt/input format.
+
+## Initial Attachment Types
+
+Two initial structured attachment types:
+
+- `github_pr`
+- `github_issue`
+
+With separate MIME types:
+
+- `application/github-pr`
+- `application/github-issue`
+
+Proposed wire shape:
+
+```ts
+type AgentAttachment =
+  | {
+      type: "github_pr";
+      mimeType: "application/github-pr";
+      number: number;
+      title: string;
+      url: string;
+      body?: string | null;
+      baseRefName?: string | null;
+      headRefName?: string | null;
+    }
+  | {
+      type: "github_issue";
+      mimeType: "application/github-issue";
+      number: number;
+      title: string;
+      url: string;
+      body?: string | null;
+    };
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+- Add new optional `attachments` fields; keep existing `images` fields.
+- Unknown attachment discriminators must be dropped during schema normalization instead of failing the full request.
+- Malformed attachment entries should also be ignored safely.
+- Old clients continue working because `attachments` is optional.
+- New clients can send `attachments` without breaking older flows that still rely on `images`.
+
+## Request-Level Changes
+
+Add optional `attachments` to:
+
+- `create_agent_request`
+- `send_agent_message_request`
+
+Existing `initialPrompt` remains plain user text.
+
+The selected GitHub PR/issue becomes a structured attachment instead of being injected into prompt text as the primary source of truth.
+
+## App Responsibilities
+
+When the user selects a GitHub item:
+
+- If it is a PR, create a `github_pr` attachment
+- If it is an issue, create a `github_issue` attachment
+- Include the attachment in the create-agent request
+
+The UI can still render friendly labels and previews from the same data.
+
+The app should stop treating PR/issue context as prompt-only metadata.
+
+## Worktree Creation Behavior
+
+During agent creation, if worktree creation is requested:
+
+- Inspect normalized attachments
+- If a `github_pr` attachment is present, use it to drive checkout for the worktree
+
+The important rule:
+
+- attachment type identifies the review object
+- server-side git logic decides how to check it out
+
+This keeps the attachment contract simple while allowing fork-safe implementation details.
+
+## Checkout Resolution
+
+The attachment itself should not encode the full checkout strategy.
+
+Instead, the server should resolve checkout from the `github_pr` attachment using forge-aware logic.
+
+Examples of possible implementation strategies:
+
+- `gh pr checkout`
+- `git fetch origin refs/pull/<number>/head:<local-branch>`
+- another GitHub-aware resolver if needed later
+
+This is intentionally a server implementation detail, not part of the attachment schema.
+
+## Provider Responsibilities
+
+Each provider adapter should receive normalized attachments and decide how to represent them for the model.
+
+Examples:
+
+- Claude: render attachment into text blocks
+- Codex: inject as blocks or text
+- OpenCode: send as file/resource-like input where appropriate
+- ACP: convert to resource/text forms as supported
+
+The session layer should not hardcode one translation strategy for all providers.
+
+## Suggested Implementation Order
+
+1. Add tolerant attachment schema and normalization in shared/server message handling.
+2. Thread `attachments` through app -> daemon client -> session layer.
+3. Update create-agent UI flows to emit `github_pr` / `github_issue` attachments from GitHub selection.
+4. Teach worktree creation to inspect attachments and special-case `github_pr`.
+5. Update provider adapters to translate attachments into provider-specific prompt/input forms.
+6. Optionally migrate image transport into the same attachment mechanism later.
+

+## Notes
+
+- The current image path can remain in place initially.
+- The plan intentionally keeps checkout concerns separate from provider prompt translation.

+# Custom Provider Configuration
+
+Paseo supports configuring custom agent providers through `config.json` (located at `$PASEO_HOME/config.json`, typically `~/.paseo/config.json`). You can extend built-in providers with different API backends, add ACP-compatible agents, set custom binaries, disable providers, and create multiple profiles for the same underlying provider.
+
+All provider configuration lives under `agents.providers` in config.json:
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": 1,
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "provider-id": { ... }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Provider IDs must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens (`/^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$/`).

+
+## Extending a built-in provider
+
+Use `extends` to create a new provider entry that inherits from a built-in provider (claude, codex, copilot, opencode, pi). The new provider gets its own entry in the provider list, with its own label, environment, and model definitions.
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "my-claude": {
+        "extends": "claude",
+        "label": "My Claude",
+        "description": "Claude with custom API endpoint",
+        "env": {

+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Required fields for custom providers:
+- `extends` — which built-in provider to inherit from (or `"acp"`)
+- `label` — display name in the UI
+

+
+## Z.AI (Zhipu) coding plan
+
+[Z.AI](https://z.ai) is a Chinese AI company (Zhipu AI) that offers an Anthropic-compatible API endpoint. Their GLM Coding Plan provides flat-rate access to GLM models through Claude Code's Anthropic API protocol. These are **not** Anthropic Claude models — they are Zhipu's own GLM models exposed through an Anthropic-compatible API.
+
+### Setup
+
+1. Register at [z.ai](https://z.ai) and subscribe to a coding plan
+2. Create an API key from the Z.AI dashboard
+3. Add a provider entry in config.json:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "zai": {
+        "extends": "claude",
+        "label": "ZAI",
+        "env": {
+          "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "<your-zai-api-key>",
+          "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic",
+          "API_TIMEOUT_MS": "3000000"
+        },
+        "models": [
+          { "id": "glm-4.5-air", "label": "GLM 4.5 Air" },
+          { "id": "glm-5-turbo", "label": "GLM 5 Turbo", "isDefault": true },
+          { "id": "glm-5.1", "label": "GLM 5.1" }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Available models
+
+| Model | Tier |
+|---|---|
+| `glm-5.1` | Advanced (flagship) |
+| `glm-5-turbo` | Advanced |
+| `glm-4.7` | Standard |
+| `glm-4.5-air` | Lightweight |
+
+### Notes
+
+- `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` is used instead of `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` — this is the z.ai API key
+- The `API_TIMEOUT_MS` env var extends the request timeout (z.ai can be slower than direct Anthropic)
+- If you get auth errors, run `/logout` inside Claude Code before switching to the z.ai provider
+- Web search (`WebSearch` tool) is an Anthropic-only server-side feature — third-party endpoints don't support it. Add `"disallowedTools": ["WebSearch"]` to avoid errors.
+- Automated setup is also available: `npx @z_ai/coding-helper`

+## Alibaba Cloud (Qwen) coding plan
+
+[Alibaba Cloud Model Studio](https://www.alibabacloud.com/en/campaign/ai-scene-coding) offers a coding plan that routes Claude Code requests to Qwen models through an Anthropic-compatible API. Like z.ai, these are **not** Anthropic Claude models.
+
+### Setup
+
+1. Go to the [Coding Plan page](https://modelstudio.console.alibabacloud.com/ap-southeast-1/?tab=globalset#/efm/coding_plan) on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio (Singapore region)
+2. Subscribe to the Pro plan ($50/month)
+3. Obtain your plan-specific API key (format: `sk-sp-xxxxx`) — this is different from a standard Model Studio key
+4. Add a provider entry in config.json:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "qwen": {
+        "extends": "claude",

+| Pay-as-you-go (no subscription) | `https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic` |
+
+For pay-as-you-go, use `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` with a standard Model Studio key (`sk-xxxxx`) instead of `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`.
+
+### Available models
+
+**Recommended for coding plan:**
+
+| Model | Notes |
+|---|---|
+| `qwen3.5-plus` | Vision capable, recommended |

+
+## Multiple profiles for the same provider
+
+You can create multiple entries that extend the same built-in provider. Each gets its own entry in the provider list with independent credentials, models, and environment.
+
+Example: two different Anthropic accounts as separate profiles:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "claude-work": {
+        "extends": "claude",
+        "label": "Claude (Work)",
+        "description": "Work Anthropic account",
+        "env": {
+          "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-work-..."
+        }
+      },
+      "claude-personal": {
+        "extends": "claude",
+        "label": "Claude (Personal)",
+        "description": "Personal Anthropic account",
+        "env": {
+          "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-personal-..."
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Each profile appears as a separate provider in the Paseo app. You can select which one to use when launching an agent.
+
+You can also combine profiles with model overrides to pin specific models per profile:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "claude-fast": {
+        "extends": "claude",
+        "label": "Claude (Fast)",
+        "models": [
+          { "id": "claude-sonnet-4-6", "label": "Sonnet 4.6", "isDefault": true }
+        ]
+      },
+      "claude-smart": {
+        "extends": "claude",
+        "label": "Claude (Smart)",
+        "models": [
+          { "id": "claude-opus-4-6", "label": "Opus 4.6", "isDefault": true }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Custom binary for a provider
+
+Override the command used to launch any provider with the `command` field. This is an array where the first element is the binary and the rest are arguments.
+
+### Override a built-in provider's binary
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "claude": {
+        "command": ["/opt/claude-nightly/claude"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Use a custom wrapper script
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "claude": {
+        "command": ["/usr/local/bin/my-claude-wrapper", "--verbose"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Custom binary on a derived provider
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "my-codex": {
+        "extends": "codex",
+        "label": "Codex (Custom Build)",
+        "command": ["/home/user/codex-dev/target/release/codex"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `command` array completely replaces the default command for that provider. The binary must exist on the system — Paseo checks for its availability and will mark the provider as unavailable if not found.
+
+---
+
+## Disabling a provider
+
+Set `enabled: false` to hide a provider from the provider list. The provider will not appear in the app or CLI.
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "copilot": { "enabled": false },
+      "codex": { "enabled": false }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This works for both built-in and custom providers. To re-enable, set `enabled: true` or remove the `enabled` field entirely (providers are enabled by default).
+
+---
+
+## ACP providers
+
+The [Agent Client Protocol (ACP)](https://agentclientprotocol.com) is an open standard for communication between editors and AI coding agents — think LSP but for AI agents. Any agent that supports ACP can be added to Paseo as a custom provider.
+
+ACP agents communicate over JSON-RPC 2.0 on stdio. Paseo spawns the agent process and talks to it through stdin/stdout.
+
+### Adding a generic ACP provider
+
+Set `extends: "acp"` and provide a `command`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "my-agent": {
+        "extends": "acp",
+        "label": "My Agent",
+        "command": ["my-agent-binary", "--acp"],
+        "env": {
+          "MY_API_KEY": "..."
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Required fields for ACP providers:
+- `extends: "acp"`
+- `label`
+- `command` — the command to spawn the agent process (must support ACP over stdio)
+
+### Example: Google Gemini CLI
+
+[Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) supports ACP via the `--acp` flag.
+
+1. Install: `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/gemini-cli` or see [Gemini CLI docs](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli)
+2. Authenticate with Google (Gemini CLI handles its own auth)
+3. Add to config.json:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "gemini": {
+        "extends": "acp",
+        "label": "Google Gemini",
+        "command": ["gemini", "--acp"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Ref: [Gemini CLI ACP mode docs](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/cli/acp-mode.md)
+
+### Example: Hermes (Nous Research)
+
+[Hermes](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) is an open-source coding agent by Nous Research with persistent memory and multi-provider LLM support. It supports ACP via the `acp` subcommand.
+
+1. Install: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash`
+2. Install ACP support: `pip install -e '.[acp]'`
+3. Configure Hermes credentials in `~/.hermes/`
+4. Add to config.json:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "hermes": {
+        "extends": "acp",
+        "label": "Hermes",
+        "description": "Nous Research self-improving AI agent",
+        "command": ["hermes", "acp"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Ref: [Hermes ACP docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/acp)
+
+### How ACP providers work in Paseo
+
+When you launch an agent with an ACP provider:
+
+1. Paseo spawns the process using the configured `command`
+2. Sends an `initialize` JSON-RPC request over stdin
+3. The agent responds with its capabilities, available modes, and models
+4. Paseo creates a session and sends prompts through the ACP protocol
+5. The agent streams responses, tool calls, and permission requests back over stdout
+
+Models and modes are discovered dynamically at runtime from the agent process. If you want to override the model list (e.g., to curate which models appear in the UI), use the `models` field:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "my-agent": {
+        "extends": "acp",
+        "label": "My Agent",
+        "command": ["my-agent", "--acp"],
+        "models": [
+          { "id": "fast-model", "label": "Fast", "isDefault": true },
+          { "id": "smart-model", "label": "Smart" }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Profile models (defined in config.json) completely replace runtime-discovered models when present.
+
+---
+
+## Provider override reference
+
+Every entry under `agents.providers` accepts these fields:
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|

+| `isDefault` | `boolean` | No | Mark as the default thinking option |
+
+### Gotcha: `extends: "claude"` with third-party endpoints
+
+When a custom provider extends `"claude"` but points `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` at a non-Anthropic API (Z.AI, Alibaba/Qwen, proxies), the Claude Agent SDK may try to use Anthropic-only server-side tools like `WebSearch`. Third-party APIs don't support these tools, causing errors.
+
+Use `disallowedTools` to disable unsupported tools:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "providers": {
+      "my-proxy": {
+        "extends": "claude",
+        "label": "My Proxy",
+        "env": {
+          "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://my-proxy.example.com/v1"
+        },
+        "disallowedTools": ["WebSearch"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Valid `extends` values
+
+Built-in providers: `claude`, `codex`, `copilot`, `opencode`, `pi`
+
+Special value: `acp` — creates a generic ACP provider (requires `command`)

+# Data Model
+
+Paseo uses **file-based JSON persistence** instead of a traditional database. All data is validated at runtime with Zod schemas and written atomically (write to temp file, then rename). There are no migrations — schemas use optional fields with defaults for forward compatibility.
+
+All server-side stores live under `$PASEO_HOME` (defaults to `~/.paseo`).

+# File Icons
+
+The file explorer uses colored SVG icons from [`material-icon-theme`](https://github.com/material-extensions/vscode-material-icon-theme) (installed as a dev dependency in `packages/app`).
+
+Icons are inlined as SVG strings in:
+
+```
+packages/app/src/components/material-file-icons.ts
+```
+
+This file is auto-generated. Do not edit it by hand.
+
+## How it works
+
+- `SVG_ICONS` maps icon names (e.g. `"typescript"`) to raw SVG strings
+- `EXTENSION_TO_ICON` maps file extensions (e.g. `"ts"`) to icon names
+- `getFileIconSvg(fileName)` returns the SVG string for a given filename, falling back to a generic file icon
+
+## Adding a new icon
+
+1. Find the icon name in the material-icon-theme manifest:
+
+```bash
+node -e "
+const m = require('./node_modules/material-icon-theme/dist/material-icons.json');
+console.log('fileExtensions:', m.fileExtensions['YOUR_EXT']);
+console.log('languageIds:', m.languageIds['YOUR_LANG']);
+"
+```
+
+2. Verify the SVG exists:
+
+```bash
+cat node_modules/material-icon-theme/icons/ICON_NAME.svg
+```
+
+3. Add two things to `material-file-icons.ts`:
+
+   - The SVG string in `SVG_ICONS`:
+     ```ts
+     "icon_name": `<svg ...>...</svg>`,
+     ```
+
+   - The extension mapping in `EXTENSION_TO_ICON`:
+     ```ts
+     "ext": "icon_name",
+     ```
+
+4. Run `npm run typecheck` to verify.
+
+## Currently included icons
+
+53 unique icons covering these extensions:
+
+| Extension(s) | Icon |
+|---|---|
+| `ts` | typescript |

+# Mobile Testing
+
+## Maestro
+
+Maestro flows live in `packages/app/maestro/`. Reusable sub-flows live in `packages/app/maestro/flows/`.
+
+Run a flow:
+
+```bash
+maestro test packages/app/maestro/my-flow.yaml
+```
+
+### Screenshots
+
+`takeScreenshot` writes to the **current working directory** — there's no way to configure the output path in the YAML. To keep screenshots out of the checkout, `cd` into a temp directory and use an absolute path for the flow:
+
+```bash
+FLOW="$(pwd)/packages/app/maestro/my-flow.yaml"
+mkdir -p /tmp/maestro-out
+cd /tmp/maestro-out && maestro test "$FLOW"
+```
+
+`packages/app/maestro/.gitignore` excludes `*.png` as a safety net.
+
+### Element targeting
+
+Use `testID` or `nativeID` on components, then target with `id:` in flows. Prefer this over text matching — text breaks on copy changes.
+
+```tsx
+// Component
+<Pressable testID="sidebar-sessions" onPress={onPress}>
+```
+
+```yaml
+# Flow
+- tapOn:
+    id: "sidebar-sessions"
+- assertVisible:
+    id: "sidebar-sessions"
+```
+
+### Conditional steps
+
+Use `runFlow:when:visible` for steps that should only execute when a specific element is on screen:
+
+```yaml
+- runFlow:
+    when:
+      visible:
+        id: "sidebar-sessions"
+    commands:
+      - swipe:
+          direction: LEFT
+          duration: 300
+```
+
+This is how `flows/dev-client.yaml` handles Expo dev client screens that only appear in dev builds.
+
+### Don't use launchApp against a running dev app
+
+`launchApp` kills and restarts the app, disrupting Expo dev client state and host connections. For flows that test against an already-running dev app, **omit launchApp entirely** — just interact with whatever is on screen.
+
+Use `launchApp` only in flows that need a clean start (e.g., onboarding tests).
+
+### Swipe gestures
+
+Use `start`/`end` with percentage coordinates for precise control:
+
+```yaml
+# Edge swipe from left to open sidebar
+- swipe:
+    start: "5%,50%"
+    end: "80%,50%"
+    duration: 300
+```
+
+`direction: RIGHT` is simpler but less precise — use it for generic swipes, use coordinates when the start position matters (edge gestures, avoiding specific UI regions).
+
+### Assertions
+
+`assertVisible` checks **actual screen visibility**, not just view tree presence. An element that exists in the tree but is off-screen (e.g., `translateX: -400`) will correctly fail `assertVisible`. This makes it reliable for catching animation bugs where state says "open" but the view is visually hidden.
+
+For async elements, use `extendedWaitUntil`:
+
+```yaml
+- extendedWaitUntil:
+    visible: ".*Online.*"
+    timeout: 90000
+```
+
+### Dev client handling
+
+Two reusable flows handle Expo dev client screens after launch:
+
+- `flows/launch.yaml` — handles dev launcher, dismisses dev menu, asserts "Welcome to Paseo"
+- `flows/dev-client.yaml` — same but without asserting a particular app route
+
+### Reach the composer
+
+`flows/land-in-chat.yaml` is the canonical "get into a chat" primitive. It `clearState`s, runs `launch.yaml`, taps the welcome screen's direct-connection option, types `127.0.0.1:6767`, submits, and waits for `message-input-root`. Compose any composer-level fixture on top of it:
+
+```yaml
+appId: sh.paseo
+---
+- runFlow: flows/land-in-chat.yaml
+# ...your scenario here, starting from a ready composer
+```
+
+See `image-picker-repro.yaml` for an example.
+
+**Prefer direct connection over relay pairing for local E2E.** Relay needs a 400+ character pairing URL typed into an input; direct needs `127.0.0.1:6767`. The daemon listens on 6767 and the simulator can reach it directly.
+
+### Inputs that Maestro types into
+
+Maestro `inputText` fires one character at a time. React Native's **controlled** `TextInput` re-renders per keystroke; if a controlled input's state update lags or re-mounts mid-type, characters are dropped silently — the final value on screen is a truncated/scrambled version of what was "typed."
+
+For inputs that E2E flows type into (host endpoint, pairing URL, etc.), use an **uncontrolled ref-backed input**: `defaultValue` + `onChangeText` writes into a `useRef`, reads via the ref on submit. No per-keystroke re-render, no dropped characters.
+
+See `add-host-modal.tsx` and `pair-link-modal.tsx` for the pattern. Always pair the source change with a Maestro `assertVisible` on the input's `id + text` after `inputText`, so regressions are caught immediately.
+
+### Dropdowns that launch native presenters (iOS)
+
+On iOS, when a dropdown menu (`DropdownMenu` / RN `Modal`) item needs to launch a native presenter like `PHPickerViewController` (image picker) or a `UIDocumentPicker`, the callback **must not fire while the `Modal` is still dismissing**. UIKit dismissal completion spans multiple frames beyond React unmount; launching a native presenter mid-dismissal leaves an invisible backdrop mounted that traps every subsequent touch.
+
+`DropdownMenu` handles this by deferring the selected item's `onSelect` until `Modal.onDismiss` fires (UIKit-level dismissal complete), then adds a small extra buffer before invoking it. See `components/ui/dropdown-menu.tsx`'s `selectItem` / `flushPendingSelect`.
+
+When building a new component that composes a dropdown with a native presenter, reuse this dropdown — do not invent a new timing shim.
+
+## Self-verification loops
+
+Maestro can only interact with the app UI — it can't toggle iOS appearance, change locale, or simulate network conditions. For bugs that depend on system-level state, wrap Maestro in a bash script that handles the system changes between Maestro runs.
+
+This pattern also lets agents self-verify fixes without manual user testing.
+
+### Pattern
+
+1. Run baseline Maestro flow (confirm feature works)
+2. Make system-level change via `xcrun simctl` (toggle appearance, etc.)
+3. Re-run Maestro flow (confirm feature still works)
+4. Repeat N iterations to catch intermittent failures
+
+Scripts run `maestro test` from inside a temp directory so screenshots don't dirty the checkout.
+
+See `packages/app/maestro/test-sidebar-theme.sh` for the canonical example:
+
+```bash
+bash packages/app/maestro/test-sidebar-theme.sh 6 1
+# Args: iterations=6, wait_seconds=1 between toggle and test
+```
+
+Key elements of the script pattern:
+
+```bash
+set -euo pipefail
+ITERATIONS="${1:-3}"
+
+for i in $(seq 1 "$ITERATIONS"); do
+  # Toggle system state
+  xcrun simctl ui booted appearance light
+
+  # Wait for change to propagate
+  sleep 1
+
+  # Run Maestro flow and capture result
+  if maestro test "$FLOW" 2>&1 | tee "$ITER_DIR/test.log"; then
+    echo "PASS"
+  else
+    echo "FAIL"
+    xcrun simctl io booted screenshot "$ITER_DIR/failure-state.png"
+  fi
+done
+```
+
+## Unistyles + Reanimated
+
+### The crash
+
+Applying Unistyles theme-reactive styles (`StyleSheet.create((theme) => ...)`) directly to `Animated.View` causes **"Unable to find node on an unmounted component"** on theme change.
+
+Unistyles wraps styled components in `<UnistylesComponent>` and patches native view properties via C++. Reanimated also manages the same native node for animated transforms. When the theme changes, both systems try to update the node simultaneously and the view crashes.
+
+### The fix
+
+Use plain React Native `StyleSheet.create` for static positioning on `Animated.View`. Pass theme-dependent values as inline styles from `useUnistyles()`:
+
+```tsx
+// BAD: Unistyles dynamic style on Animated.View
+const styles = StyleSheet.create((theme) => ({
+  sidebar: {
+    position: "absolute",
+    top: 0,
+    left: 0,
+    bottom: 0,
+    backgroundColor: theme.colors.surfaceSidebar, // theme-reactive
+    overflow: "hidden",
+  },
+}));
+
+<Animated.View style={[styles.sidebar, animatedStyle]} />
+```
+
+```tsx
+// GOOD: static stylesheet + inline theme values
+import { StyleSheet as RNStyleSheet } from "react-native";
+
+const staticStyles = RNStyleSheet.create({
+  sidebar: {
+    position: "absolute",
+    top: 0,
+    left: 0,
+    bottom: 0,
+    overflow: "hidden",
+  },
+});
+
+const { theme } = useUnistyles();
+
+<Animated.View
+  style={[staticStyles.sidebar, animatedStyle, { backgroundColor: theme.colors.surfaceSidebar }]}
+/>
+```
+
+Regular `View` components can safely use Unistyles dynamic styles — the conflict is specific to `Animated.View`.
+
+## iOS Simulator
+
+```bash
+# Screenshot
+xcrun simctl io booted screenshot /tmp/screenshot.png
+
+# Dark/light mode
+xcrun simctl ui booted appearance          # check current
+xcrun simctl ui booted appearance dark     # set dark
+xcrun simctl ui booted appearance light    # set light
+```
+
+Expo dev server logs are in the tmux pane running `npm run dev`. Daemon logs are at `$PASEO_HOME/daemon.log` (see [DEVELOPMENT.md](DEVELOPMENT.md)).

+# Product
+
+What Paseo is, who it's for, and where it's going.
+
+## What is Paseo
+
+Paseo is a next-generation development environment built around agents. One interface to run, monitor, and interact with coding agents across desktop, mobile, terminal, and web.
+
+The development workflow is shifting from manually editing files to orchestrating agents that do the editing. Paseo is built for that workflow.
+
+## Core philosophy
+
+Freedom and flexibility. Every design decision follows from this:
+
+- **Multi-provider** — Use any coding agent harness. Pick the right model for each job, switch freely as the landscape shifts. No vendor-lock in.
+- **Cross-device** — Desktop, mobile, web, CLI. Start work at your desk, check progress from your phone, script from the terminal.
+- **Self-hosted** — The daemon runs on your machine. Your code, your keys, your environment. No inference markup, no cloud dependency.
+- **Respectful** - No telemetry, no forced cloud, no forced accounts
+- **Open source** — AGPL-3.0. Users can inspect, fork, and contribute.
+- **BYOK** — Bring your own keys. Use your subsidized plans and first-party provider pricing. Paseo adds zero cost on top.
+
+## How it works
+
+### Projects and workspaces
+
+Projects are grouped in the sidebar, detected automatically from your filesystem and tagged by git remote when available.
+
+Each project opens as a workspace. For git projects, the default workspace is the main checkout. Users can create additional workspaces, which are isolated copies (git worktrees) where agents work without affecting main.
+
+### Inside a workspace
+
+A workspace is a flexible canvas:
+- Launch multiple agents side by side in split panes
+- Open terminals alongside agents
+- Mix and match providers within the same workspace
+
+### The daemon
+
+Paseo is a client-server system. The daemon (Node.js) runs on your machine, manages agent processes, and streams output in real time over WebSocket. Clients connect to the daemon — locally or remotely.
+
+This architecture means:
+- The daemon can run on any machine: laptop, VM, remote server
+- Multiple clients can connect simultaneously
+- Agents keep running when you close the app
+
+## Target user
+
+Anyone who builds software:
+
+- Care about owning their tools and their data
+- Use multiple AI providers and want to switch freely
+- Run agents on real tasks across real projects
+- Want to work from multiple devices
+
+## What compounds over time
+
+- **Trust** — Showing up daily, shipping in public, being open source. Earned slowly, lost quickly.
+- **Community contributions** — Code, packaging, skills, agent configs. Contributors become advocates.
+- **Ecosystem** — Skills, integrations, shared configs. Community-built content that makes the platform more valuable.
+
+## Strategic bets
+
+1. **Models commoditize.** Value moves to the orchestration layer. The best model changes monthly — the workflow layer stays.
+2. **Multi-provider wins.** No single provider stays on top. Developers want the best model for each task.
+3. **The daemon as infrastructure.** Server/client architecture enables deployment anywhere.
+4. **Open source outlasts funding.** Open source communities are resilient. Contributors become advocates.
+
+## Current state (March 2026)
+
+- Desktop (Electron), mobile (iOS/Android), web, CLI
+- Providers: Claude Code (Agent SDK), Codex (app-server), OpenCode
+- Daily releases
+- Community contributions starting (packaging, bug fixes)
+- Key UX: split panes, keybinding customization, workspace model

+# Adding a New Provider to Paseo
+
+This guide walks through adding a new agent provider end-to-end. There are two integration patterns, and this doc covers both.
+
+## Two Integration Patterns
+
+### ACP (Agent Client Protocol) -- recommended
+
+Extend `ACPAgentClient`. The base class handles process spawning, stdio transport, session lifecycle, streaming, permissions, and model discovery. You provide configuration (command, modes, capabilities) and optionally override `isAvailable()` for auth checks.
+
+Existing ACP providers: `claude-acp`, `copilot`.
+
+### Direct
+
+Implement the `AgentClient` and `AgentSession` interfaces yourself. This gives full control but requires you to handle process management, streaming, permissions, and session persistence from scratch.
+
+Existing direct providers: `claude`, `codex`, `opencode`.
+
+---
+
+## ACP Provider Checklist
+
+### 1. Create the provider class
+
+Create `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/{name}-agent.ts`.
+
+Define capabilities, modes, and a thin subclass of `ACPAgentClient`:
+
+```ts
+import type { Logger } from "pino";
+import type { AgentCapabilityFlags, AgentMode } from "../agent-sdk-types.js";
+import type { ProviderRuntimeSettings } from "../provider-launch-config.js";
+import { ACPAgentClient } from "./acp-agent.js";
+
+const MY_PROVIDER_CAPABILITIES: AgentCapabilityFlags = {
+  supportsStreaming: true,
+  supportsSessionPersistence: true,
+  supportsDynamicModes: true,
+  supportsMcpServers: true,
+  supportsReasoningStream: true,
+  supportsToolInvocations: true,
+};
+
+const MY_PROVIDER_MODES: AgentMode[] = [
+  {
+    id: "default",
+    label: "Default",
+    description: "Standard agent mode",
+  },
+  // Add more modes as needed
+];
+
+type MyProviderClientOptions = {
+  logger: Logger;
+  runtimeSettings?: ProviderRuntimeSettings;
+};
+
+export class MyProviderACPAgentClient extends ACPAgentClient {
+  constructor(options: MyProviderClientOptions) {
+    super({
+      provider: "my-provider",        // Must match the ID used everywhere else
+      logger: options.logger,
+      runtimeSettings: options.runtimeSettings,
+      defaultCommand: ["my-agent-binary", "--acp"],  // CLI command to spawn
+      defaultModes: MY_PROVIDER_MODES,
+      capabilities: MY_PROVIDER_CAPABILITIES,
+    });
+  }
+
+  // Override isAvailable() if the provider needs specific auth/env vars
+  override async isAvailable(): Promise<boolean> {
+    if (!(await super.isAvailable())) {
+      return false;  // Binary not found
+    }
+    return Boolean(process.env["MY_PROVIDER_API_KEY"]);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `super.isAvailable()` call checks that the binary from `defaultCommand` is on `$PATH`. Override only to add credential checks on top.
+
+For reference, here is how Copilot does it -- no auth override needed because the CLI handles auth itself:
+
+```ts
+export class CopilotACPAgentClient extends ACPAgentClient {
+  constructor(options: CopilotACPAgentClientOptions) {
+    super({
+      provider: "copilot",
+      logger: options.logger,
+      runtimeSettings: options.runtimeSettings,
+      defaultCommand: ["copilot", "--acp"],
+      defaultModes: COPILOT_MODES,
+      capabilities: COPILOT_CAPABILITIES,
+    });
+  }
+
+  override async isAvailable(): Promise<boolean> {
+    return super.isAvailable();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Add to the provider manifest
+
+In `packages/server/src/server/agent/provider-manifest.ts`, add mode definitions with UI metadata (icons, color tiers) and a provider definition entry.
+
+First, define the modes with visual metadata:
+
+```ts
+const MY_PROVIDER_MODES: AgentProviderModeDefinition[] = [
+  {
+    id: "default",
+    label: "Default",
+    description: "Standard agent mode",
+    icon: "ShieldCheck",
+    colorTier: "safe",
+  },
+  {
+    id: "autonomous",
+    label: "Autonomous",
+    description: "Runs without prompting",
+    icon: "ShieldOff",
+    colorTier: "dangerous",
+  },
+];
+```
+
+Available `colorTier` values: `"safe"`, `"moderate"`, `"dangerous"`, `"planning"`.
+Available `icon` values: `"ShieldCheck"`, `"ShieldAlert"`, `"ShieldOff"`.
+
+Then add to the `AGENT_PROVIDER_DEFINITIONS` array:
+
+```ts
+export const AGENT_PROVIDER_DEFINITIONS: AgentProviderDefinition[] = [
+  // ... existing providers ...
+  {
+    id: "my-provider",
+    label: "My Provider",
+    description: "Short description of the provider",
+    defaultModeId: "default",
+    modes: MY_PROVIDER_MODES,
+    // Optional: enable voice
+    voice: {
+      enabled: true,
+      defaultModeId: "default",
+      defaultModel: "some-model",
+    },
+  },
+];
+```
+
+### 3. Add the factory to the provider registry
+
+In `packages/server/src/server/agent/provider-registry.ts`, import your class and add a factory entry:
+
+```ts
+import { MyProviderACPAgentClient } from "./providers/my-provider-agent.js";
+
+const PROVIDER_CLIENT_FACTORIES: Record<string, ProviderClientFactory> = {
+  // ... existing factories ...
+  "my-provider": (logger, runtimeSettings) =>
+    new MyProviderACPAgentClient({
+      logger,
+      runtimeSettings: runtimeSettings?.["my-provider"],
+    }),
+};
+```
+
+### 4. Add a provider icon (app)
+
+Create `packages/app/src/components/icons/my-provider-icon.tsx` following the pattern from existing icons (e.g., `claude-icon.tsx`):
+
+```tsx
+import Svg, { Path } from "react-native-svg";
+
+interface MyProviderIconProps {
+  size?: number;
+  color?: string;
+}
+
+export function MyProviderIcon({ size = 16, color = "currentColor" }: MyProviderIconProps) {
+  return (
+    <Svg width={size} height={size} viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill={color}>
+      <Path d="..." />
+    </Svg>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+Then register it in `packages/app/src/components/provider-icons.ts`:
+
+```ts
+import { MyProviderIcon } from "@/components/icons/my-provider-icon";
+
+const PROVIDER_ICONS: Record<string, typeof Bot> = {
+  claude: ClaudeIcon as unknown as typeof Bot,
+  codex: CodexIcon as unknown as typeof Bot,
+  "my-provider": MyProviderIcon as unknown as typeof Bot,
+};
+```
+
+If no icon is registered, the app falls back to a generic `Bot` icon from lucide.
+
+### 5. Add E2E test config
+
+In `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/agent-configs.ts`, add your provider:
+
+```ts
+export const agentConfigs = {
+  // ... existing configs ...
+  "my-provider": {
+    provider: "my-provider",
+    model: "default-model-id",
+    modes: {
+      full: "autonomous",   // Mode with no permission prompts
+      ask: "default",       // Mode that requires permission approval
+    },
+  },
+} as const satisfies Record<string, AgentTestConfig>;
+```
+
+Add an availability check in `isProviderAvailable()`:
+
+```ts
+case "my-provider":
+  return (
+    isCommandAvailable("my-agent-binary") &&
+    Boolean(process.env.MY_PROVIDER_API_KEY)
+  );
+```
+
+Add to the `allProviders` array:
+
+```ts
+export const allProviders: AgentProvider[] = [
+  "claude",
+  "claude-acp",
+  "codex",
+  "copilot",
+  "opencode",
+  "my-provider",
+];
+```
+
+### 6. Run typecheck
+
+```bash
+npm run typecheck
+```
+
+This is required after every change per project rules.
+
+---
+
+## Direct Provider Checklist
+
+If your agent does not speak ACP, implement the interfaces from `agent-sdk-types.ts` directly.
+
+### Interfaces to implement
+
+**`AgentClient`** -- factory for sessions and model listing:
+
+```ts
+interface AgentClient {
+  readonly provider: AgentProvider;
+  readonly capabilities: AgentCapabilityFlags;
+  createSession(config: AgentSessionConfig, launchContext?: AgentLaunchContext): Promise<AgentSession>;
+  resumeSession(handle: AgentPersistenceHandle, overrides?: Partial<AgentSessionConfig>, launchContext?: AgentLaunchContext): Promise<AgentSession>;
+  listModels(options?: ListModelsOptions): Promise<AgentModelDefinition[]>;
+  isAvailable(): Promise<boolean>;
+  // Optional:
+  listPersistedAgents?(options?: ListPersistedAgentsOptions): Promise<PersistedAgentDescriptor[]>;
+}
+```
+
+**`AgentSession`** -- a running agent conversation:
+
+```ts
+interface AgentSession {
+  readonly provider: AgentProvider;
+  readonly id: string | null;
+  readonly capabilities: AgentCapabilityFlags;
+  run(prompt: AgentPromptInput, options?: AgentRunOptions): Promise<AgentRunResult>;
+  startTurn(prompt: AgentPromptInput, options?: AgentRunOptions): Promise<{ turnId: string }>;
+  subscribe(callback: (event: AgentStreamEvent) => void): () => void;
+  streamHistory(): AsyncGenerator<AgentStreamEvent>;
+  getRuntimeInfo(): Promise<AgentRuntimeInfo>;
+  getAvailableModes(): Promise<AgentMode[]>;
+  getCurrentMode(): Promise<string | null>;
+  setMode(modeId: string): Promise<void>;
+  getPendingPermissions(): AgentPermissionRequest[];
+  respondToPermission(requestId: string, response: AgentPermissionResponse): Promise<void>;
+  describePersistence(): AgentPersistenceHandle | null;
+  interrupt(): Promise<void>;
+  close(): Promise<void>;
+  // Optional:
+  listCommands?(): Promise<AgentSlashCommand[]>;
+  setModel?(modelId: string | null): Promise<void>;
+  setThinkingOption?(thinkingOptionId: string | null): Promise<void>;
+}
+```
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Create `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/{name}-agent.ts` implementing both interfaces
+2. Add to the provider manifest (same as ACP step 2 above)
+3. Add factory to the registry (same as ACP step 3 above)
+4. Add icon (same as ACP step 4 above)
+5. Add E2E config (same as ACP step 5 above)
+6. Run typecheck
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual testing with the CLI
+
+Start the daemon if not already running, then:
+
+```bash
+# Launch an agent with your provider
+paseo run --provider my-provider
+
+# Launch with a specific model and mode
+paseo run --provider my-provider --model some-model --mode default
+
+# List running agents
+paseo ls -a -g
+
+# Check if the provider reports models
+paseo models --provider my-provider
+```
+
+### E2E test patterns
+
+The E2E configs in `agent-configs.ts` expose two helpers:
+
+- `getFullAccessConfig(provider)` -- returns config for a session with no permission prompts
+- `getAskModeConfig(provider)` -- returns config for a session that triggers permission requests
+
+Tests use `isProviderAvailable(provider)` to skip when the binary or credentials are missing, so CI will not fail for providers that are not installed.
+
+---
+
+## Gotchas
+
+**Mode IDs can be URIs.** ACP providers like Copilot use full URIs as mode IDs (e.g., `"https://agentclientprotocol.com/protocol/session-modes#agent"`). Never assume mode IDs are simple strings. The manifest `defaultModeId` must match exactly.
+
+**Models and modes are discovered dynamically.** ACP providers report available models and modes at runtime via the protocol. The static definitions in `provider-manifest.ts` are used for UI scaffolding (icons, color tiers) but the runtime values from the agent process are the source of truth.
+
+**`AgentProvider` is always `string`.** The type alias is `type AgentProvider = string`. Provider IDs are validated against the manifest at runtime, not at the type level.
+
+**Auth patterns vary.** Some providers need API keys in env vars (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`), some use OAuth tokens (`CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`), some use auth files (`~/.codex/auth.json`), and some handle auth entirely in their CLI binary (Copilot). Your `isAvailable()` method should check whatever is needed.
+
+**The manifest mode list and the agent class mode list are separate.** The manifest in `provider-manifest.ts` includes UI metadata (`icon`, `colorTier`). The agent class defines modes without UI metadata (just `id`, `label`, `description`). Keep them in sync.
+
+**`defaultCommand` is a tuple.** The first element is the binary name, the rest are default arguments. The base class uses this to find the executable and spawn the process.
+
+**Runtime settings can override the command.** Users can configure custom binary paths or environment variables per provider via `ProviderRuntimeSettings`. Your factory in the registry should pass `runtimeSettings?.["your-provider"]` through to the constructor.

 ## Standard release (patch)
 
+Before running any stable patch release command:
+
+- Make sure the intended release commit is already committed to `main` and the working tree is clean.
+- Make sure local `npm run typecheck` passes on that commit.
+- Do not use `npm run release:patch` as a substitute for checking whether the current commit is actually ready.

 If asked to "release paseo" without specifying major/minor, treat it as a patch release.

+npm run release:promote        # Promote X.Y.Z-rc.N to stable X.Y.Z
 ```
 
-- `draft-release:patch` creates the GitHub Release as a draft so desktop assets, APK uploads, and synced notes attach to it
-- `release:finalize` publishes npm and promotes the same draft release
-- Use the same semver tag for both; don't cut a second tag
+- RC tags are published GitHub prereleases like `v0.1.41-rc.1`
+- RCs publish desktop assets and APKs for testing, but they do not publish npm packages and do not trigger the production web/mobile release flows
+- `release:promote` creates a fresh stable tag like `v0.1.41`; the final release never reuses the RC tag
+- Desktop assets now come from the Electron package at `packages/desktop`
+- **Do NOT create a changelog entry for RCs.** The changelog remains stable-only. RC release notes are generated automatically so the website stays pinned to the latest published stable release.
+
+Use the RC path when you need to:
+
+- test a build manually in a Linux or Windows VM
+- send a build to a user who is hitting a specific problem
+- iterate on `rc.1`, `rc.2`, `rc.3`, and so on before deciding to ship broadly
+
+## Website behavior
+
+- The website download page points to GitHub's latest published **stable** release.
+- Published RC prereleases are public on GitHub Releases, but they do **not** become the website download target.
+- The website only moves when you publish the final stable release tag like `v0.1.41`.
+
+## Fixing a failed release build
+
+**NEVER bump the version to fix a build problem.** New versions are reserved for meaningful product changes (features, fixes, improvements). Build/CI failures are fixed on the current version.
+
+**Do not rely on `workflow_dispatch` for tagged code fixes.** The `workflow_dispatch` trigger runs the workflow file from the default branch but checks out the code at the tag ref (`ref: ${{ inputs.tag }}`). That means fixes committed to `main` won't change the tagged source tree being built. `workflow_dispatch` only helps when the fix lives in the workflow file itself.
+
+To retry a failed workflow, **always push a retry tag** on the commit you want to build. Reusing the same tag name is expected: move it with `git tag -f ...` and push it with `--force` so the workflow rebuilds the commit you actually want.
+
+Prefer a tag push over `workflow_dispatch` whenever you are rebuilding release code or release assets.
+
+The retry tag patterns below still work and remain the supported way to rebuild specific release targets:
+
+```bash
+# Desktop (all platforms)
+git tag -f desktop-v0.1.28 HEAD && git push origin desktop-v0.1.28 --force
+
+# Desktop (single platform)
+git tag -f desktop-macos-v0.1.28 HEAD && git push origin desktop-macos-v0.1.28 --force
+git tag -f desktop-linux-v0.1.28 HEAD && git push origin desktop-linux-v0.1.28 --force
+git tag -f desktop-windows-v0.1.28 HEAD && git push origin desktop-windows-v0.1.28 --force
+
+# Android APK
+git tag -f android-v0.1.28 HEAD && git push origin android-v0.1.28 --force
+
+# RC
+git tag -f v0.1.29-rc.2 HEAD && git push origin v0.1.29-rc.2 --force
+```
+
+This ensures the checkout ref matches the actual code on `main` with the fix included.
+
+- `vX.Y.Z` or `vX.Y.Z-rc.N` rebuilds the full tagged release
+- `desktop-vX.Y.Z` rebuilds desktop for all desktop platforms only
+- `desktop-macos-vX.Y.Z`, `desktop-linux-vX.Y.Z`, and `desktop-windows-vX.Y.Z` rebuild only that desktop platform
+- `android-vX.Y.Z` rebuilds the Android APK release only
 
 ## Notes
 
 - `version:all:*` bumps root + syncs workspace versions and `@getpaseo/*` dependency versions
 - `release:prepare` refreshes workspace `node_modules` links to prevent stale types
+- `npm run dev:desktop` and `npm run build:desktop` target the Electron desktop package in `packages/desktop`
 - If `release:publish` partially fails, re-run it — npm skips already-published versions
-- Website Mac download CTA URL derives from `packages/website/package.json` version at build time
+- The website uses GitHub's latest published release API for download links, so published RC prereleases do not replace the stable download target.
+
+## Changelog format
+
+Stable release notes depend on the changelog heading format. The heading **must** be strictly followed:
+
+```
+## X.Y.Z - YYYY-MM-DD
+```
+
+No prefix (`v`), no extra text. The parser matches the first `## X.Y.Z` line to extract the version. A malformed heading will break download links on the homepage.
+
+## Changelog policy
+
+- `CHANGELOG.md` is for **final stable releases only**.
+- Do not add or edit changelog entries while iterating on RCs.
+- Write the proper changelog entry when you are cutting the final stable release that comes after the RC cycle.
+- Between stable releases, keep changelog work out of the repo until the final release is ready.
+
+## Changelog ownership
+
+- **Only Claude should write changelog entries.**
+- If you are Codex and a stable release needs a changelog entry, launch a Claude agent with Paseo to draft it, then review and commit the result.
+
+## Changelog voice
+
+The changelog is shown on the Paseo homepage. Write it for **end users**, not developers.
+
+- **Frame everything from the user's perspective.** Describe what changed in the app, not what changed in the code. Users care that "workspaces load instantly" — not that a component no longer remounts.
+- **Never mention component names, internal modules, or implementation details.** No `WorkingIndicator`, no `accumulatedUsage`, no `reconcileAndEmitWorkspaceUpdates`.
+- **Collapse internal iterations.** If a feature was added and then fixed within the same release, just list the feature as working. Users never saw the broken version.
+- **Only list changes relative to the previous stable release.** The diff is `v(previous)..HEAD`. If something was introduced and fixed between those two tags, it never shipped — don't mention the fix.
+- **Cut low-signal entries.** "Toolbar buttons have consistent sizing" is too granular. Combine small polish items or drop them.
+
+## Changelog conciseness
+
+Every bullet must be scannable at a glance. The changelog is not release documentation — it's a list.
+
+- **One line per bullet.** If a bullet wraps to three lines in a narrow column, it's too long.
+- **Split bullets that pack multiple distinct changes.** If a bullet uses "and", "plus", a comma list, or an em-dash to chain several independent improvements, break them into separate bullets — even when they share a theme or author. One bullet = one user-facing change.
+- **Trim qualifying clauses.** Drop "with a hint shown when…", "matching the CLI's behaviour", "across common install shapes". If the detail doesn't change whether a user cares, cut it.
+- **Lead with the outcome.** "Windows: agents launch reliably from npm `.cmd` shims…" is better than "Windows: agents launch reliably across common install shapes. Claude, Codex, and OpenCode now start correctly…".
+- **Attribution follows the split.** When you split a dense bullet, move each PR/author to the bullet it belongs to. Never duplicate the same PR across multiple bullets.
+
+## Changelog attribution
+
+Every changelog bullet must credit contributors and link to the PR(s) that delivered the change. This is not one-PR-per-line — a single bullet describes a user-facing change and may reference multiple PRs.
+
+Format: append `([#123](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/123) by [@user](https://github.com/user))` at the end of each bullet. For changes spanning multiple PRs or contributors:
+
+```markdown
+- Voice mode now works on tablets with proper microphone permissions. ([#210](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/210), [#215](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/215) by [@alice](https://github.com/alice), [@bob](https://github.com/bob))
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- **Always link the PR number** as `[#N](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/N)`.
+- **Always link the contributor's GitHub profile** as `[@user](https://github.com/user)`.
+- **One bullet = one user-facing change**, regardless of how many PRs went into it. Group related PRs on the same bullet.
+- **De-duplicate contributors.** If the same person authored multiple PRs in one bullet, list them once.
+- **Only credit external contributors.** Skip attribution for [@boudra](https://github.com/boudra). The changelog credits community contributions — core team work is the default.
+- **Use `git log` to find PR numbers and authors.** PR numbers are typically in the commit message as `(#N)`. Use `gh pr view N --json author` if the commit doesn't include the GitHub username.
+
+## Changelog ordering
+
+Entries within each section (Added, Improved, Fixed) are ordered by user impact:
+
+1. **User-facing features and changes first** — things users will notice, want to try, or that change their workflow.
+2. **Quality-of-life improvements** — polish, performance, smoother interactions.
+3. **Internal/infra changes last** — only include if they have a tangible user benefit (e.g. "faster startup" is user-facing even if the fix was internal).
+
+## Pre-release sanity check
+
+Before cutting any release (RC or stable), run a Codex review of the diff as a last line of defence against shipping bugs.
+
+Load the `paseo` skill and launch a **Codex 5.4** agent with a prompt like:
+
+> Review the diff between the latest release tag and HEAD. Focus on:
+>
+> 1. **Breaking changes** — especially in the WebSocket protocol, agent lifecycle, and any server↔client contract.
+> 2. **Backward compatibility** — the important direction is old app clients talking to newly updated daemons. Users update desktop and daemon first, then keep running the old app for a while. Flag anything that breaks old clients against new daemons or requires both sides to update in lockstep.
+> 3. **Regressions** — anything that looks like it could break existing functionality.
+>
+> Diff: `git diff <latest-release-tag>..HEAD`
+
+The agent's job is a deep sanity check, not a full code review. If it flags anything, investigate before proceeding.
+
+## Changelog scope
+
+The changelog always covers **stable-to-HEAD**:
+
+- **RC release**: the diff and release notes cover `latest stable tag → HEAD`. RC release notes are auto-generated and not added to `CHANGELOG.md`.
+- **Stable release**: the diff and changelog entry cover `latest stable tag → HEAD`. Any intermediate RCs are skipped — the changelog captures the full delta from the previous stable release, not just what changed since the last RC.
+
+In other words, RCs are checkpoints along the way; the changelog only records the final jump from one stable version to the next.
 
 ## Completion checklist
 
+- [ ] Run the pre-release sanity check (see above) and address any findings
+- [ ] Ensure the intended release commit is already committed and the git worktree is clean before running any `release:*` patch/promote command
+- [ ] Ensure local `npm run typecheck` passes on that exact commit before running any `release:*` patch/promote command
 - [ ] Update `CHANGELOG.md` with user-facing release notes (features, fixes — not refactors)
-- [ ] `npm run release:patch` completes successfully
+- [ ] Verify the changelog heading follows strict `## X.Y.Z - YYYY-MM-DD` format
+- [ ] `npm run release:patch` or `npm run release:promote` completes successfully
 - [ ] GitHub `Desktop Release` workflow for the `v*` tag is green
 - [ ] GitHub `Android APK Release` workflow for the same tag is green
 - [ ] EAS `release-mobile.yml` workflow for the same tag is green

+# Unistyles Gotchas
+
+This app uses [`react-native-unistyles` v3](https://www.unistyl.es/) for theme-aware styles. Unistyles is fast because most style updates do not go through React renders: the [Babel plugin](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/other/babel-plugin) rewrites React Native component imports, attaches style metadata, and lets the native ShadowRegistry update tracked views when theme or runtime dependencies change.
+
+That model is powerful, but it has sharp edges. Use this note when adding theme-dependent styles.
+
+## How Updates Propagate
+
+For standard React Native components, the [Unistyles Babel plugin](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/other/babel-plugin) rewrites imports such as `View`, `Text`, `Pressable`, and `ScrollView` to Unistyles-aware component factories. On native, those factories borrow the component ref and register the `style` prop with the ShadowRegistry. The upstream ["Why my view doesn't update?"](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/guides/why-my-view-doesnt-update) guide describes this as the ShadowTree update path that avoids unnecessary React re-renders.
+
+The important detail: the automatic native path tracks `props.style`. It does not generally track every prop that happens to carry style-like values.
+
+[`useUnistyles()`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/use-unistyles) is different. It gives React access to the current theme/runtime and can make a component re-render when those values change. Use it for values that must be rendered through React props, such as icon colors or small escape hatches. Do not expect direct reads from `UnistylesRuntime` to re-render a component; [issue #817](https://github.com/jpudysz/react-native-unistyles/issues/817) is a useful reminder of that invariant.
+
+## Main Gotcha: `contentContainerStyle`
+
+`ScrollView.contentContainerStyle` is the canonical trap. It looks like a style prop, but it is not the same prop that Unistyles' remapped native component registers by default. The upstream tutorial calls this out directly in its [ScrollView Background Issue](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/tutorial/settings-screen#scrollview-background-issue) section.
+
+Avoid this pattern when the style depends on the theme:
+
+```tsx
+<ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.container} />
+
+const styles = StyleSheet.create((theme) => ({
+  container: {
+    flexGrow: 1,
+    backgroundColor: theme.colors.surface0,
+  },
+}));
+```
+
+On first mount this can paint with the current adaptive or initial theme. If app settings later load a persisted theme and call [`UnistylesRuntime.setTheme`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/guides/theming#change-theme), the JS-side style proxy may report the new theme while the native content container keeps the old background. That is how the welcome screen ended up with a light background and dark foreground/buttons.
+
+This applies broadly to non-`style` props that carry theme-dependent values, such as component props named `color`, `trackColor`, `tintColor`, and library-specific style props. The [3rd-party view decision algorithm](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/3rd-party-views) recommends explicit handling for these cases, and [issue #1030](https://github.com/jpudysz/react-native-unistyles/issues/1030) shows a related native-prop update edge case around `Image.tintColor`. Treat these values as React props unless wrapped with `withUnistyles`.
+
+## Fix Patterns
+
+Preferred pattern: put themed backgrounds on a normal wrapper view, and keep `contentContainerStyle` theme-free.
+
+```tsx
+<View style={styles.container}>
+  <ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.contentContainer}>
+    {children}
+  </ScrollView>
+</View>
+
+const styles = StyleSheet.create((theme) => ({
+  container: {
+    flex: 1,
+    backgroundColor: theme.colors.surface0,
+  },
+  contentContainer: {
+    flexGrow: 1,
+    padding: theme.spacing[4],
+  },
+}));
+```
+
+This is the pattern used by the settings screen: the screen background lives on a normal `View style={styles.container}`, while the scroll content container only carries layout.
+
+When the content container itself needs themed behavior, wrap the component with [`withUnistyles`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/with-unistyles):
+
+```tsx
+import { ScrollView } from "react-native";
+import { StyleSheet, withUnistyles } from "react-native-unistyles";
+
+const ThemedScrollView = withUnistyles(ScrollView);
+
+<ThemedScrollView
+  style={styles.scrollView}
+  contentContainerStyle={styles.contentContainer}
+/>
+```
+
+`withUnistyles` extracts dependency metadata from both `style` and `contentContainerStyle`, subscribes to the relevant theme/runtime changes, and re-renders only that wrapped component when needed. Its [auto-mapping behavior for `style` and `contentContainerStyle`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/with-unistyles#auto-mapping-for-style-and-contentcontainerstyle-props) is the reason it fixes themed `ScrollView` content containers. Reach for it when wrapper-view layout would be awkward or when a third-party component needs theme-aware non-`style` props mapped through Unistyles.
+
+The smallest escape hatch is to use `useUnistyles()` and pass an inline value through React:
+
+```tsx
+const { theme } = useUnistyles();
+
+<ScrollView
+  contentContainerStyle={[
+    styles.contentContainer,
+    { backgroundColor: theme.colors.surface0 },
+  ]}
+/>
+```
+
+Use this sparingly. It works because React re-renders the prop, but it gives up the main Unistyles native-update path for that value.
+
+## Hidden Sheet Content
+
+`@gorhom/bottom-sheet` can keep `BottomSheetModal` content mounted while the sheet is hidden. That matters during Paseo's startup theme transition: a header node can be created under the initial adaptive theme, stay hidden, then appear later with stale native style values even though surrounding content has re-rendered correctly.
+
+We saw this in `AdaptiveModalSheet`: the body text and buttons were dark-theme-correct, but the shared sheet title opened with the initial light-theme text color on a dark sheet background. For tiny values in a reusable sheet header, prefer the inline escape hatch:
+
+```tsx
+const { theme } = useUnistyles();
+
+<Text style={[styles.title, { color: theme.colors.foreground }]}>
+  {title}
+</Text>
+```
+
+Keep layout and typography in `StyleSheet.create`; move only the stale theme-dependent value through React. If a larger subtree shows the same behavior, consider remounting the sheet on theme changes or moving the themed paint onto a wrapper that is mounted with the visible content.
+
+## Adaptive Themes And Persisted Settings
+
+Unistyles [`initialTheme`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/guides/theming#select-theme) and [`adaptiveThemes`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/guides/theming#adaptive-themes) are mutually exclusive. `initialTheme` can be a string or a synchronous function, but it cannot wait on async storage.
+
+Paseo currently stores app settings in AsyncStorage and loads them through react-query. That means the app can mount under adaptive/system theme first, then switch after settings load:
+
+1. Unistyles config starts with `adaptiveThemes: true`.
+2. The device may report system light.
+3. Settings load a persisted non-auto preference, such as dark.
+4. The app calls `setAdaptiveThemes(false)` and `setTheme("dark")`.
+
+That brief transition is expected with the current storage model. It makes tracking-compatible styles important: anything mounted during the initial adaptive theme must update correctly after the persisted preference applies. [Issue #550](https://github.com/jpudysz/react-native-unistyles/issues/550) was a separate ScrollView sticky-header bug, but it is still useful context for why ScrollView theme updates deserve extra suspicion.
+
+If we ever need to avoid the transition entirely, store at least the theme preference in synchronous storage and configure Unistyles with `initialTheme`.
+
+## Debugging
+
+To inspect what the Babel plugin sees, temporarily enable [`debug: true`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/other/babel-plugin#debug) in `packages/app/babel.config.js`:
+
+```js
+[
+  "react-native-unistyles/plugin",
+  {
+    root: "src",
+    debug: true,
+  },
+],
+```
+
+Then rebuild the bundle and look for lines such as:
+
+```text
+src/components/welcome-screen.tsx: styles.container: [Theme]
+```
+
+This only confirms that the stylesheet dependency was detected. The upstream debugging guide makes the same distinction: dependency detection is only one failure mode. It does not prove the style prop is registered on the native view you care about.
+
+For paint-layer bugs, use high-contrast probes:
+
+1. Paint each candidate layer a distinct color, such as root wrapper cyan, `ScrollView.style` yellow, and `contentContainerStyle` magenta.
+2. Cold-restart the app, not just Fast Refresh.
+3. Screenshot the simulator and sample pixels to see which color fills the area.
+4. Remove the probes before committing.
+
+The welcome-screen investigation used this approach to prove the white layer was the `ScrollView` content container. Deep-dive evidence is in [welcome-theme-split-research.md](/Users/moboudra/.paseo/notes/welcome-theme-split-research.md).

+# Plan Approval Normalization
+
+## Goal
+
+Normalize plan approval across providers so the UI renders one consistent plan approval card and action row, while each provider keeps its own execution quirks behind the session permission interface.
+
+## Compatibility Constraints
+
+- Older clients must remain compatible with newer daemons.
+- All new wire fields must be optional.
+- Existing plan permissions without action metadata must still render and work.
+- Existing question permissions must keep their current behavior.
+
+## Design
+
+### Shared abstraction
+
+Add optional permission action definitions to the shared permission request/response types.
+
+- Permission requests may include `actions`.
+- Permission responses may include `selectedActionId`.
+- `kind: "plan"` remains the normalized concept for plan approval.
+- The UI renders actions from the permission request instead of hardcoding provider-specific buttons.
+
+### Claude
+
+Keep Claude's plan permission flow, but enrich it with explicit action definitions.
+
+- Always expose `Reject`.
+- Always expose `Implement`.
+- If the agent entered plan mode from a more permissive mode like `bypassPermissions`, also expose `Implement with <previous mode>`.
+- Resolve the selected action entirely inside `respondToPermission()`.
+
+### Codex
+
+Synthesize a normalized `kind: "plan"` permission after a Codex plan-mode turn completes with a plan result.
+
+- Emit a plan permission with `Reject` and `Implement` actions.
+- On `Implement`, disable `plan_mode`, disable `fast_mode`, and automatically start a follow-up implementation turn.
+- On `Reject`, resolve without starting a follow-up turn.
+- Keep the implementation prompt and state transitions inside the Codex provider.
+
+### Manager and state sync
+
+After permission resolution, refresh provider-derived state so the UI sees internal mode/feature changes without knowing provider quirks.
+
+- Refresh current mode
+- Refresh pending permissions
+- Refresh runtime info
+- Refresh features
+- Persist refreshed state
+
+### UI
+
+Render plan permissions through the existing plan card, but generate buttons from normalized permission actions.
+
+- If `actions` are absent, fall back to legacy buttons.
+- Plan cards should use `Implement` as the default primary label.
+- Do not add provider-specific rendering branches.
+
+## Verification
+
+1. Shared schema/type tests for optional `actions` and `selectedActionId`
+2. App tests for generic plan-action rendering
+3. Claude tests for third action when resuming from a more permissive mode
+4. Codex tests for synthetic plan approval and automatic implementation follow-up
+5. Manager tests for post-permission state refresh
+6. `npm run typecheck`
