Merge branch 'main' into refactor-test-iter12

The matrix in CI / server-tests (ci.yml) covers what Server CI / test was
doing, on Linux and Windows instead of Linux only. Two workflows running
the same test suite on every server-touching PR is wasted runner time.

+
+        **A note on AI-assisted reports.** Using an agent to gather information (logs, repro steps, version checks) is fine and useful. Using an agent to *diagnose* the bug and then submitting only that diagnosis is not. Agents routinely correlate adjacent log lines as cause-and-effect when they aren't related, and once a report is filtered through an AI summary I lose the signal I need to actually fix the bug. Paste the raw inputs.

+### Type of change
+
+- [ ] Bug fix
+- [ ] New feature (with prior issue + design alignment)
+- [ ] Refactor / code improvement
+- [ ] Docs
+
+### What does this PR do
+
+<!-- A short description of the change in your own words. What was wrong, what you changed, why it works. If you can't explain this briefly, the PR is probably too big. -->
+
+### How did you verify it
+
+<!--
+This is the section I read most carefully. I need to see that *you* tested this, not that the diff looks plausible.
+
+- For UI changes: a screenshot or short video on every affected platform (mobile, web, desktop). UI claims without visual proof are not enough.
+- For behavior changes: the actual steps you ran, and what you observed.
+- For bug fixes: how you reproduced the bug before, and confirmed it's fixed after.
+
+AI-generated PR descriptions are fine in principle. AI-generated *verification claims* with no actual testing behind them are not, and they're easy to spot.

+
+### Checklist
+
+- [ ] One focused change. Unrelated cleanups split out.
+- [ ] `npm run typecheck` passes
+- [ ] `npm run lint` passes
+- [ ] `npm run format` ran (Biome)
+- [ ] UI changes include screenshots or video for every affected platform
+- [ ] Tests added or updated where it made sense

 # Changelog
 
+## 0.1.71 - 2026-05-09
+
+### Added
+
+- **Import existing Claude, Codex, and OpenCode sessions** into Paseo — pick up a conversation you started in the terminal and keep going from the app, with the full timeline. ([#766](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/766), [#833](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/833))
+- **Subagents now appear in a collapsible section above the composer** so you can jump into agents your main agent spawned. ([#532](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/532))
+- Merge a pull request directly from the checkout pane. ([#814](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/814))
+- Customize the per-project prompts Paseo uses to auto-generate agent titles, branch names, commit messages, and pull request descriptions. ([#836](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/836))
+- Open an empty workspace without typing a prompt first. ([#834](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/834))
+- Project settings are now grouped with inline links to the relevant docs. ([#837](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/837))
+- Rich context menu on desktop — copy link, copy image, and spellcheck suggestions.
+- Archiving a Codex-backed agent now archives the underlying native Codex thread too. ([#827](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/827) by [@32r4](https://github.com/32r4))
+
+### Improved
+
+- Opening a workspace auto-focuses the agent that needs your attention. ([#828](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/828))
+- An unattended agent that spawns a sub-agent on a different provider via MCP now starts the sub-agent in unattended mode too.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- iOS project picker now submits the typed path. ([#831](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/831))
+- System messages and chat mentions routed to multiple agents now reach every recipient consistently. ([#830](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/830))
+- Clicking a Markdown link in agent output no longer reloads the desktop app on top of opening the link.
+
+### Security
+
+- Local state files (daemon keypair, stored credentials, persisted config) are now readable only by the owning user. ([#825](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/825) by [@joaosa](https://github.com/joaosa))
+
+## 0.1.70 - 2026-05-08
+
+### Breaking
+
+- **Claude agents now require `claude` on your PATH.** Install Claude Code globally (`npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`) before running a Claude agent — Paseo no longer ships a bundled fallback binary. Same posture as Codex and OpenCode, and shrinks the desktop install by ~210 MB per platform.
+
+### Added
+
+- **One-click ACP providers** — add Cursor, Hermes, Qwen Coder, Kimi Code, and other ACP agents from a built-in catalog instead of writing config by hand.
+- Codex `/goal` slash command — set or update the goal mid-turn while a Codex agent is running.
+- Claude's Sonnet 4.6 1M context model is now selectable in the model picker.
+- Detect GitHub issue and PR URLs pasted into the composer search.
+- `paseo worktree create` CLI command, with parity to the MCP `create_worktree` tool.
+- `paseo schedule update` to edit a schedule in place without recreating it.
+- `paseo schedule run-once` for cron-style triggers, plus `--mode` on `schedule` and `loop`. Background runs now default to unattended mode.
+- Projects settings now lists workspaces from any remote — GitLab, Gitea, Bitbucket, self-hosted, and SSH-style URLs, not just GitHub. ([#681](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/681) by [@krumpyzoid](https://github.com/krumpyzoid))
+
+### Improved
+
+- Skills now install, update, and uninstall on demand instead of silently auto-syncing on every desktop launch.
+- Self-hosted relays can opt into `wss://` for TLS connections.
+- Workspace open targets only show options reachable from the current daemon.
+- Combobox search matches model descriptions, not just names.
+- Codex image attachments render inline as path markdown.
+- Subagent task notifications no longer clutter the parent agent's timeline.
+- Voice mode: quieter thinking tone and small UI polish.
+- Settings sidebar order: Projects now appears after General.
+- Electron upgraded to 41.2.0 for the desktop app.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Claude agent: daemon no longer crashes mid-turn** when the underlying SDK fires a stray control message after the connection has been torn down.
+- **Windows:** Terminals start reliably and shut down cleanly without leaving stuck processes behind.
+- **Linux:** Workspace file watchers no longer storm with events on busy working trees, fixing CPU spikes on large repos. ([#794](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/794) by [@312223105](https://github.com/312223105))
+- ACP-based agents launch terminal shell commands reliably. ([#793](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/793) by [@ebg1223](https://github.com/ebg1223))
+- Checkout shortstat now counts untracked files. ([#608](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/issues/608), [#762](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/762) by [@somus](https://github.com/somus))
+- Relay endpoints on port 443 use TLS automatically. ([#774](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/774) by [@caoer](https://github.com/caoer))
+- Desktop CLI passthrough TTY handling — interactive commands now behave correctly when launched from the desktop app.
+- The CLI honors the `PASEO_PASSWORD` environment variable for password-protected daemons.
+- Daemon shutdown terminates all child processes cleanly using tree-kill.
+- Agent spawn paths handle missing executables and unusual install layouts more reliably.
+- OpenCode now forwards provider retry errors instead of silently swallowing them.
+- Codex import no longer reverts to the wrong default mode.
+- Pane keyboard shortcuts no longer fire while you're typing in an editable field.
+- Cold workspace URL navigation now lands in the correct sidebar entry on web.
+- Workspace navigation regression on web fixed.
+- Duplicate workspace shell navigation eliminated.
+- The 'Update installed' callout no longer flashes incorrectly.
+- Browser pane reload focus and devtools handling.
+- MCP terminal capture now includes scrollback.
+- Worktree branches no longer get renamed when an agent is created against an existing worktree from MCP.
+- Creating an agent in a subdirectory of a registered workspace now runs in that subdirectory instead of jumping up to the parent. ([#551](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/issues/551))
+- Non-GitHub project display names are derived from the remote owner/repo instead of the local path.
+- Desktop IPC wrapped in shared mutation/query hooks, fixing stale state and intermittent failures. ([#761](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/issues/761))
+- `paseo schedule create --host` now requires `--cwd` to avoid running schedules in the wrong directory.
+- `paseo schedule create --every` runs once immediately by default, then on the configured interval.
+- MCP `create_agent` validates the requested mode and refuses silent cross-provider inheritance.
+
+## 0.1.69 - 2026-05-05
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Paseo now recovers automatically when an internal daemon process crashes — your agents stay connected instead of getting stuck and you don't have to restart anything.
+- Answering an interactive question from a Claude agent now reaches Claude correctly instead of being dropped. ([#760](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/760) by [@somus](https://github.com/somus))
+
+## 0.1.68 - 2026-05-05
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The desktop app no longer fails on first launch after a fresh install.
+
+## 0.1.67 - 2026-05-03
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Archiving a worktree or workspace feels instant instead of waiting on the daemon, with automatic rollback if it fails.
+- The built-in daemon toggle in desktop settings now actually takes effect.
+- Desktop settings no longer reset on app launch after a legacy migration.
+- Desktop daemon startup failures now surface on the splash screen and respond to retry, instead of leaving the app silently stuck.
+- Internal LLM calls (branch names, commit messages, PR text) no longer leave behind ephemeral agent sessions in your provider history.
+
+## 0.1.66 - 2026-05-03
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Streaming markdown preserves trailing newlines so paragraph spacing stays correct while the agent is still typing.
+- Agent initialization failures surface within 30 seconds instead of 5 minutes.
+- Terminals reply to ANSI cursor-position queries, so tools that ask for cursor location no longer hang.
+
+## 0.1.65 - 2026-05-03
+
+### Added
+
+- **In-app browser** — open a real web browser in any workspace to test your app. ([#670](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/670) by [@jasonkneen](https://github.com/jasonkneen))
+- Inline review comments in the git diff pane. Tap a line number to start a comment. ([#530](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/530))
+- Sub-agent activity is now shown for Codex, OpenCode, and Claude. ([#672](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/672), [#658](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/658) by [@thisisryanswift](https://github.com/thisisryanswift))
+- Pull and push your branch in one step from the git actions menu in the changes pane.
+- Resume existing agent sessions with `paseo import --provider <name> <id>`. ([#632](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/632))
+- Password authentication and SSL support for daemon connections. ([#635](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/635))
+- Connect to a daemon via relay using a pairing offer URL from the CLI. ([#639](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/639))
+- **Windows:** Native ARM64 builds are now available.
+- Bundled Paseo skills now refresh automatically on desktop app launch.
+
+### Improved
+
+- Codex streaming feels more responsive — message boundaries are preserved and output arrives sooner.
+- Terminal sessions run in a dedicated worker process for better stability.
+- New worktree branch names are derived from your prompt and attachments instead of a generic placeholder.
+- Review comment UI is cleaner and easier to scan.
+- The daemon's `/api/status` endpoint is now protected by password auth when one is configured.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Apple Silicon Mac:** The desktop update pipeline now publishes manifests atomically, closing a race that could install the Intel build on Apple Silicon Macs and cause 100%+ renderer CPU usage. Affected users will self-heal — electron-updater's Rosetta detection migrates back to arm64 on the next update poll. ([#555](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/issues/555))
+- **Linux:** `.deb` and `.rpm` packages now show as `Paseo` in the dock and process list instead of `Paseo.bin`. `--no-sandbox` is now scoped to AppImage only, matching VS Code's sandbox handling. ([#602](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/issues/602))
+- **Windows:** Git diff commands no longer break on paths with special characters. ([#629](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/629))
+- Cursor CLI and other ACP custom providers launch reliably. ([#628](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/628))
+- Daemon stays up when WebSocket clients disconnect mid-stream, and crashes now write a fatal log entry instead of disappearing silently. ([#613](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/613) by [@yuruiz](https://github.com/yuruiz))
+- Long agent timelines reconnect cleanly over the relay instead of looping through disconnects while catching up. ([#657](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/657) by [@fireblue](https://github.com/fireblue))
+- Agent timelines refresh with smaller catch-up requests when you reopen an agent.
+- Terminal snapshots flush reliably before clients reconnect.
+- Workspace reconnects avoid unnecessary refresh work when the focused workspace is already current.
+- Voice dictation keeps recording when the agent tab loses focus.
+- OpenCode mode picker now lists agents available in every mode. ([#606](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/606) by [@thisisryanswift](https://github.com/thisisryanswift))
+- Codex plan approval panels no longer duplicate.
+- Imported agents display the correct title immediately.
+- OpenCode surfaces invalid mode/model errors instead of hanging.
+- Archived worktrees stay hidden without flashing back into the list. ([#640](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/640))
+- Web dropdown menus no longer resize unexpectedly.
+- The visible changes pane keeps in sync with the working tree diff.
+- Tool detail rows on the timeline are selectable again.
+- `paseo.json` parse errors in setup, teardown, and terminal actions now surface a clear error instead of failing silently.
+- Diff gutter line numbers were shifted one row out of alignment in some cases on web.
+- Streamed agent output reconciles cleanly when the timeline hydrates mid-turn. ([#663](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/663))
+- Images in assistant messages show a loading spinner while they load and an "Image unavailable" fallback if they fail, instead of a blank space.
+- Isolated bottom sheet modals close and re-open without getting stuck.
+
+## 0.1.64 - 2026-04-28
+
+### Added
+
+- OpenCode now has a Full Access mode that auto-approves tool calls. ([#595](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/595) by [@tmih06](https://github.com/tmih06))
+- OpenCode supports executable slash commands. ([#597](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/597) by [@tmih06](https://github.com/tmih06))
+
+### Improved
+
+- `@`-mention stays responsive on very large projects. ([#600](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/600) by [@yuruiz](https://github.com/yuruiz))
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Workspaces still load when `paseo.json` has a parse error.
+
+## 0.1.63 - 2026-04-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Project settings page with a built-in `paseo.json` editor.
+- Cold start restores your last open workspace.
+- Tool call badges have a button to open the referenced file directly.

+- Enable or disable providers from Settings without editing config files.
+- Paseo prompts you to configure a worktree setup script when one is missing.
+- Choose whether the daemon shuts down when you close the desktop app.
+
+### Improved
+
+- Provider settings and model selection have been redesigned.
+- Voice mode transcription endpoint is configurable for OpenAI-compatible providers. ([#570](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/570) by [@yuruiz](https://github.com/yuruiz))
+- Adding a project no longer waits for GitHub PR status to load.
+- Startup splash screen is cleaner — just the logo with a subtle shimmer.
+- `paseo.json` setup and teardown accept a single command string, not just an array.
+- Archiving a worktree is instant instead of waiting for the backend to confirm.
+- Agent timelines and git diff lists no longer jump around while loading or streaming.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `paseo loop run` and `paseo run` now respect the `--provider` and `--model` flags. ([#594](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/594) by [@VincenzoRocchi](https://github.com/VincenzoRocchi))
+- Pi provider shows up when only DeepSeek or other non-OpenAI/Anthropic/OpenRouter API keys are set.
+- Custom models from `additionalModels` and `profileModels` are honored when picking a default for new agents.
+- File preview line numbers stay on one line past line 99.
+- Cmd+Q on macOS quits the desktop app instead of leaving it running in the background.
+- Terminal sessions recover cleanly after rendering hiccups, including the initial resize for nvim.

 - 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.

+`docs/` is the source of truth for system-level and process-level knowledge. **"The docs", "check the docs", or "check the X docs" always mean this directory — not the web.** Look here before fetching anything online; the docs capture gotchas and conventions you cannot derive from the code or external sources.
+
+At the start of non-trivial work, list `docs/` and skim anything relevant to the task. When you learn something meta worth preserving — a gotcha, a convention, a workflow, a piece of system context that will outlive the current task — update an existing doc or propose a new one. Code-level facts belong in inline comments next to the code; system, process, and gotcha-level facts belong in `docs/`.

   - 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.**
+- **Always run typecheck and lint after every change.**
+- **Build workspace packages before diagnosing cross-package type errors.** This repo consumes generated declarations across workspaces. If typecheck fails in a package that depends on another workspace (especially CLI depending on server/daemon types), rebuild the owning package first so `dist` declarations are current:
+  - `npm run build:daemon` — rebuild highlight, relay, server, and CLI when daemon/server/CLI types may be stale.
+  - Do not patch inferred callback parameters or add local duplicate types just to silence stale declaration errors.
 - **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?"
+- **Always use npm scripts for linting and formatting.** Do not run tools directly with `npx eslint`, `npx oxfmt`, `npx oxlint`, or package-local binaries. For targeted checks, pass file paths through the npm script:
+  - `npm run lint -- packages/app/src/components/message.tsx`
+  - `npm run format:files -- CLAUDE.md packages/app/src/components/message.tsx`
+- **The protocol stays backward-compatible. Features don't have to.** Two separate contracts:
+  - **Protocol contract (always):** schema changes must not break parsing in either direction. An old client must still parse messages from a new daemon; a new daemon must still parse messages from an old client.
+    - New fields: `.optional()` with a sensible default or `.transform()` fallback.
+    - Never flip optional → required, remove fields, or narrow types (`string` → `enum`, `nullable` → non-null).
+    - Removed fields stay accepted (we stop sending them, not stop reading them).
+    - Test with: "does a 6-month-old client still parse this?" and "does a 6-month-old daemon still send something this client accepts?"
+  - **Feature contract (per-feature):** a new feature may require a new daemon capability. The client detects whether the capability is present and either runs the feature or shows "Update the host to use this." That's it.
+    - **No fallback paths.** Don't write a degraded version of a new feature that runs on old daemons. Don't fan out across legacy RPCs to simulate a missing capability. The user upgrades or doesn't get the feature.
+    - **No defensive branches scattered through the feature.** Capability detection happens in one place; downstream code reads a clean shape.
+    - **Capability flags live in `server_info.features.*`** with a single `// COMPAT(featureName): added in v0.1.X, drop the gate when floor >= v0.1.X` comment marking the cleanup site.
+    - Existing functionality keeps working across versions — that's the protocol contract doing its job. New-feature degradation is not the goal.
+
+- **All back-compat shims are tagged and dated for cleanup.** Every shim that exists for old-client/old-daemon support carries a `COMPAT(name)` comment with the version it was added in and a target removal date (typically 6 months out). One grep — `rg "COMPAT\("` — should produce the full list of cleanup work. Don't bury back-compat in untagged `??`-fallbacks or optional-chain tunnels — that's how it stops being deletable.

 # Contributing to Paseo
 
-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.
+Paseo is opinionated and maintained by one person. I read every issue and PR myself, so review cost is real.
 
-This means:
+- **Feature requests are welcome.** Open an issue describing the problem. Get a thumbs up before writing code. Big ideas are better discussed in [Discord](https://discord.gg/jz8T2uahpH) first.
+- **Objective bug fixes don't need a prior issue.** Reference what's broken, keep the diff narrow, open the PR.
+- **The product stays lean.** I'll close, scope down, or rewrite PRs that add surface area I don't want to maintain, even if the code is fine.
 
-- 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.
+## Reporting bugs
 
-This is not meant to discourage contributions. It is meant to set clear expectations so nobody wastes their time.
+Fill in the bug report form. The fields are there because asking back for the surface, version, provider config, and logs is where most of my time on a bad report goes.
 
-## 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.
+- **Full logs, not AI summaries.** Use an agent to grab the relevant log section if you want, but paste the raw log. Agents routinely correlate adjacent lines as cause-and-effect when they aren't, and once a report is filtered through that the signal I need is gone.
+- **Agents for information gathering, not diagnosis.** A bot that grabs your daemon log, version, and OS is helpful. A bot that submits its own theory of the bug is noise 99% of the time.
+- **Screenshots or video for UI bugs.** A 10-second recording beats a paragraph.
+- **One bug per issue.** Three findings, three issues.

 ## What is most helpful
 
-The most useful contributions right now are:
-
-- bug fixes
-- windows and linux specific fixes
+- bug fixes (especially Windows and Linux)
 - regression fixes
 - doc improvements
-- packaging / platform fixes
-- focused UX improvements that fit the existing product direction
+- packaging and platform fixes

 - 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               # daemon + expo
 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.
+[docs/development.md](docs/development.md) covers build sync, local state, and ports. Coding rules live in [docs/coding-standards.md](docs/coding-standards.md).
 
-## Multi-platform testing
+## Pull requests
 
-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.
+- One focused change per PR. Split unrelated cleanups out.
+- Reference the issue you're fixing, unless it's a small objective bug.
+- UI changes need screenshots or video on every affected platform (mobile, web, desktop). Things that look fine on one surface regularly break on another.
+- `npm run typecheck` and `npm run lint` must pass.
+- Don't make breaking WebSocket or protocol changes. Old apps and old daemons coexist in the wild.
+- The PR template applies whether you used the web UI or `gh pr create`. Don't strip it out.
 
-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.
+**On AI-assisted PRs.** AI in the loop is fine. The bar is whether _you_ tested the change and can explain why it works. A confident wall of AI prose with no evidence of testing is a red flag and usually gets closed. If you don't fully understand why your fix works, say so directly. "Here's the repro before and after, not sure why this fixes it" is much better than a fabricated explanation.

 ### Why the relay can't attack you
 
 The daemon requires a valid cryptographic handshake before processing any commands. A compromised relay cannot:
 
-- **Send commands** — Without your phone's private key, it cannot complete the handshake
+- **Impersonate the daemon to your phone** — Without the daemon's secret key, it cannot derive the shared key, so any traffic it injects fails authenticated decryption on the phone
+- **Send commands as you** — The daemon only accepts traffic that decrypts and authenticates under a shared key derived with its own secret key. The phone's keypair is ephemeral per connection, so there is no persistent phone-side secret to steal; protection comes from the daemon's secret key never leaving the daemon.
 - **Read your traffic** — All messages are encrypted with XSalsa20-Poly1305 (NaCl box) after the handshake
 - **Forge messages** — NaCl box provides authenticated encryption; tampered messages are rejected
 - **Replay old messages across sessions** — Each session derives fresh encryption keys, so ciphertext from one session cannot be replayed into another session. Within a live session, replay protection is not yet implemented; the protocol uses random nonces and does not track nonce reuse or message counters.

-## Components at a glance
-
-- **Daemon:** Local server that spawns and manages agent processes and exposes the WebSocket API.
-- **App:** Cross-platform Expo client for iOS, Android, web, and the shared UI used by desktop.
-- **CLI:** Terminal interface for agent workflows that can also start and manage the daemon.
-- **Desktop app:** Electron wrapper around the web app that bundles and auto-manages its own daemon.
-- **Relay:** Optional encrypted bridge for remote access without opening ports directly.
-
-## Packages
-
-### `packages/server` — The daemon
-
-The heart of Paseo. A Node.js process that:
-
-- Listens for WebSocket connections from clients
-- Manages agent lifecycle (create, run, stop, resume, archive)
-- Streams agent output in real time via a timeline model
-- Exposes an MCP server for agent-to-agent control
-- Optionally connects outbound to a relay for remote access
-
-**Key modules:**
-
-| Module | Responsibility |
-|---|---|
-| `bootstrap.ts` | Daemon initialization: HTTP server, WS server, agent manager, storage, relay |
-| `websocket-server.ts` | WebSocket connection management, hello/welcome handshake, binary multiplexing |
-| `session.ts` | Per-client session state, timeline subscriptions, terminal operations |
-| `agent/agent-manager.ts` | Agent lifecycle state machine, timeline tracking, subscriber management |
-| `agent/agent-storage.ts` | File-backed JSON persistence at `$PASEO_HOME/agents/` |
-| `agent/mcp-server.ts` | MCP server for sub-agent creation, permissions, timeouts |
-| `providers/` | Provider adapters: Claude (Agent SDK), Codex (AppServer), OpenCode |
-| `relay-transport.ts` | Outbound relay connection with E2E encryption |
-| `client/daemon-client.ts` | Client library for connecting to the daemon (used by CLI and app) |
-
-### `packages/app` — Mobile + web client (Expo)
-
-Cross-platform React Native app that connects to one or more daemons.
-
-- Expo Router navigation (`/h/[serverId]/agents`, etc.)
-- `DaemonRegistryContext` manages saved daemon connections
-- `SessionContext` wraps the daemon client for the active session
-- `Stream` model handles timeline with compaction, gap detection, sequence-based deduplication
-- Voice features: dictation (STT) and voice agent (realtime)
-
-### `packages/cli` — Command-line client
-
-Commander.js CLI with Docker-style commands:
-
-- `paseo agent ls/run/stop/logs/inspect/wait/send/attach`
-- `paseo daemon start/stop/restart/status/pair`
-- `paseo permit allow/deny/ls`
-- `paseo provider ls/models`
-- `paseo worktree ls/archive`
-
-Communicates with the daemon via the same WebSocket protocol as the app.
-
-### `packages/relay` — E2E encrypted relay
-
-Enables remote access when the daemon is behind a firewall.
-
-- ECDH key exchange + AES-256-GCM encryption
-- Relay server is zero-knowledge — it routes encrypted bytes, cannot read content
-- Client and daemon channels with identical API (`createClientChannel`, `createDaemonChannel`)
-- Pairing via QR code transfers the daemon's public key to the client
-
-See [SECURITY.md](../SECURITY.md) for the full threat model.
-
-### `packages/desktop` — Desktop app (Electron)
-
-Electron wrapper for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
-
-- Can spawn the daemon as a managed subprocess
-- Native file access for workspace integration
-- Same WebSocket client as mobile app
-
-### `packages/website` — Marketing site
-
-TanStack Router + Cloudflare Workers. Serves paseo.sh.
-
-## WebSocket protocol
-
-All clients speak the same binary-multiplexed WebSocket protocol.
-
-**Handshake:**
-
-```
-Client → Server:  WSHelloMessage { id, clientId, version, timestamp }
-Server → Client:  WSWelcomeMessage { clientId, daemonVersion, sessionId, capabilities }
-```
-
-**Message types:**
-
-- `agent_update` — Agent state changed (status, title, labels)
-- `agent_stream` — New timeline event from a running agent
-- `workspace_update` — Workspace state changed
-- `agent_permission_request` — Agent needs user approval for a tool call
-- Command-response pairs for fetch, list, create, etc.
-
-**Binary multiplexing:**
-
-Terminal I/O and agent streaming share the same connection via `BinaryMuxFrame`:
-- Channel 0: control messages
-- Channel 1: terminal data
-- 1-byte channel ID + 1-byte flags + variable payload
-
-## Agent lifecycle
-
-```
-initializing → idle → running → idle (or error → closed)
-                 ↑        │
-                 └────────┘  (agent completes a turn, awaits next prompt)
-```
-
-- **AgentManager** tracks up to 200 timeline items per agent
-- Timeline is append-only with epochs (each run starts a new epoch)
-- Events stream to all subscribed clients in real time
-- Agent state persists to `$PASEO_HOME/agents/{cwd-with-dashes}/{agent-id}.json`
-
-## Agent providers
-
-Each provider implements a common `AgentClient` interface:
-
-| Provider | Wraps | Session format |
-|---|---|---|
-| Claude | Anthropic Agent SDK | `~/.claude/projects/{cwd}/{session-id}.jsonl` |
-| Codex | CodexAppServer | `~/.codex/sessions/{date}/rollout-{ts}-{id}.jsonl` |
-| OpenCode | OpenCode CLI | Provider-managed |
-
-All providers:
-- Handle their own authentication (Paseo does not manage API keys)
-- Support session resume via persistence handles
-- Map tool calls to a normalized `ToolCallDetail` type
-- Expose provider-specific modes (plan, default, full-access)
-
-## Data flow: running an agent
-
-1. Client sends `CreateAgentRequestMessage` with config (prompt, cwd, provider, model, mode)
-2. Session routes to `AgentManager.create()`
-3. AgentManager creates a `ManagedAgent`, initializes provider session
-4. Provider runs the agent → emits `AgentStreamEvent` items
-5. Events append to the agent timeline, broadcast to all subscribed clients
-6. Tool calls are normalized to `ToolCallDetail` (shell, read, edit, write, search, etc.)
-7. Permission requests flow: agent → server → client → user decision → server → agent
-
-## Storage
-
-```
-$PASEO_HOME/
-├── agents/{cwd-with-dashes}/{agent-id}.json   # Agent state + config
-├── projects/projects.json                      # Project registry

-## Deployment models
-
-1. **Local daemon** (default): `paseo daemon start` on `127.0.0.1:6767`
-2. **Managed desktop**: Electron app spawns daemon as subprocess
-3. **Remote + relay**: Daemon behind firewall, relay bridges with E2E encryption

-# 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.

-- **Design for edge cases through types** rather than explicit handling
-- **Don't catch errors** unless there's a strong reason to
-- **No index.ts barrel files** that only re-export — they create unnecessary indirection
-- **No "while I'm at it" improvements** — stay focused on the task
-
-## Type hygiene
-
-### Infer from schemas
-
-Never hand-write a TypeScript type that can be inferred from a Zod schema.
-
-```typescript
-// Bad: duplicate type that can drift
-const schema = z.object({ procedure: z.string(), args: z.record(z.unknown()) });
-type RPCArgs = { procedure: string; args: Record<string, unknown> };
-
-// Good: infer from schema
-type RPCArgs = z.infer<typeof schema>;
-```
-
-### Named types over inline
-
-No complex inline types in public function signatures.
-
-```typescript
-// Bad
-function enqueueJob(input: { userId: string; priority: "low" | "normal" | "high" }) {}
-
-// Good
-interface EnqueueJobInput { userId: string; priority: "low" | "normal" | "high" }
-function enqueueJob(input: EnqueueJobInput) {}
-```
-
-### Object parameters
-
-If a function needs more than one argument, use a single object parameter.
-
-```typescript
-// Bad: positional args
-function createToolCall(provider: string, toolName: string, payload: unknown) {}
-
-// Good: object param
-interface CreateToolCallInput { provider: string; toolName: string; payload: unknown }
-function createToolCall(input: CreateToolCallInput) {}
-```
-
-### One canonical type per concept
-
-Don't redefine the same concept in different layer-specific shapes (`RpcX`, `DbX`, `UiX`). Keep one canonical type and add explicit layer wrappers that reference it.
-
-```typescript
-// Bad: duplicated fields across layers
-type RpcToolCall = { toolName: string; args: Record<string, unknown>; requestId: string };
-type DbToolCall = { toolName: string; args: Record<string, unknown>; id: string; createdAt: Date };
-
-// Good: canonical type + wrappers
-type ToolCall = { toolName: string; args: Record<string, unknown> };
-type ToolCallRequest = { requestId: string; toolCall: ToolCall };
-type ToolCallRecord = { id: string; createdAt: Date; toolCall: ToolCall };
-```
-
-## Make impossible states impossible
-
-Use discriminated unions instead of bags of booleans and optionals.
-
-```typescript
-// Bad
-interface FetchState { isLoading: boolean; error?: Error; data?: Data }
-
-// Good
-type FetchState =
-  | { status: "idle" }
-  | { status: "loading" }
-  | { status: "error"; error: Error }
-  | { status: "success"; data: Data };
-```
-
-## Optionality is a design decision
-
-Don't mark fields optional to avoid migrations. Decide deliberately:
-
-1. Is optionality actually needed?
-2. If there are distinct valid states → discriminated union
-3. If value can be intentionally empty → explicit `null`
-4. Keep optionality at real boundaries (external input), then resolve it
-
-## Validate at boundaries, trust internally
-
-Parse external data once at the boundary with schema validation. Then use typed values everywhere else.
-
-```typescript
-// Bad: optional chaining because shape is unclear
-const value = response?.data?.items?.[0]?.name;
-
-// Good: validate at boundary, trust the types
-const parsed = responseSchema.parse(rawResponse);
-const value = parsed.data.items[0].name;
-```
-
-## Error handling
-
-- **Fail explicitly** — if caller requests X and X is unavailable, throw rather than silently returning Y
-- **Use typed domain errors** — not plain `Error`. Carry structured metadata for handling, logging, and user messaging
-- **Preserve error semantics** — don't collapse meaningful typed errors into generic `Error`
-
-```typescript
-class TimeoutError extends Error {
-  constructor(
-    public readonly operation: string,
-    public readonly waitedMs: number,
-  ) {
-    super(`${operation} timed out after ${waitedMs}ms`);
-    this.name = "TimeoutError";
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Keep logic density low
-
-Avoid packing branching, lookup, and transformation into single dense expressions.
-
-```typescript
-// Bad: nested ternaries + inline lookups
-const billing = shouldUseLegacy(account)
-  ? getLegacy(account)
-  : buildBilling(account, rates.find((r) => r.region === account.region));
-
-// Good: named steps, then assemble
-const rate = rates.find((r) => r.region === account.region);
-if (!rate) throw new MissingRateError(account.region);
-const billing = shouldUseLegacy(account) ? getLegacy(account) : buildBilling(account, rate);
-```
-
-## Centralize policy
-
-When the same discriminator (`plan`, `provider`, `kind`, `status`) is checked across multiple files, centralize it into a policy model. A new case should require editing one place, not many.
-
-## React: keep components dumb
-
-- Components render state and dispatch events — they don't compute transitions
-- If a component has more than two interacting `useState` calls, extract a state machine or reducer
-- `useRef` for mutable coordination state (flags, timers) is a smell — model states explicitly
-- Never mirror a source of truth into local state; derive from it
-- Test state logic as pure functions without rendering
-
-## File organization
-
-- Organize by domain first (`providers/claude/`), not by technical type (`tool-parsers/`)
-- Name files after the main export (`create-toolcall.ts`)
-- Use `index.ts` as an entrypoint, not a dumping ground
-- Collocate tests with implementation (`thing.ts` + `thing.test.ts`)
-
-## Refactoring contract
-
-Refactoring is structure work, not feature work.
-
-- Preserve behavior by default, especially user-facing behavior
-- Do not remove features to simplify code without explicit approval
-- Have a verification strategy before you start
-- Fully migrate callers and remove old paths in the same refactor
-- No fallback behavior by default — prefer explicit error over silent degradation

-# 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`).

-# Designing Features
-
-How to think through a feature before writing code.
-
-## Start from the user
-
-Even for backend work, start from the user's perspective:
-
-- What problem does this solve?
-- What triggers it? User action, schedule, event?
-- What does success look like from the user's perspective?
-- What data does it need? Where does that data come from?
-
-## Map existing code
-
-Before designing anything new, understand what exists:
-
-- Where does similar functionality live?
-- What patterns does the codebase already use?
-- What layers exist? (See [ARCHITECTURE.md](./ARCHITECTURE.md))
-- What types and data shapes are already defined?
-
-New features rarely mean only new code. Usually they require modifying existing interfaces, extending existing types, or refactoring to accommodate the new functionality. Identify what needs to change, not just what needs to be added.
-
-## Define verification before implementation
-
-Before designing the solution, define how you'll know it works:
-
-- What tests will prove this feature is correct?
-- At what layer? Unit, integration, E2E?
-- What's the simplest way to verify the core behavior?
-
-If you can't define verification, you don't understand the feature well enough yet.
-
-## Design the shape
-
-### Data
-
-- What types are needed?
-- Use discriminated unions — make impossible states impossible
-- One canonical type per concept (see [CODING_STANDARDS.md](./CODING_STANDARDS.md))
-
-### Layers
-
-- What belongs in each layer?
-- Where are the boundaries?
-- What does each layer expose to the layer above?
-
-### Interactions
-
-- How does data flow through the system?
-- What triggers what?
-- Where do side effects happen?
-
-### Refactoring
-
-- What existing code needs to change?
-- Is existing code testable enough? If not, that's part of the plan.
-
-## Create a concrete plan
-
-Once the design is clear:
-
-1. **Acceptance criteria** — specific, verifiable outcomes (not "should work well" but "returns X when given Y")
-2. **Ordered steps** — what to build first (usually: types, then lowest layer, then up)
-3. **What to refactor** before adding new code
-4. **How to verify** each step
-
-## Principles
-
-- **Fit, don't force** — new code should fit existing patterns, or refactor first
-- **Simple** — the best design is the simplest one that works
-- **Verify early** — define how to test before designing the implementation

-Set `PASEO_HOME` to isolate state when running a second instance (e.g., in a worktree):
-
-```bash
-PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo-blue npm run dev
-```
-
-- `PASEO_HOME` — path for runtime state (agents, sockets, etc.). Defaults to `~/.paseo`.
-- In git worktrees, `npm run dev` derives a stable home like `~/.paseo-<worktree-name>`.
-  On first run, it seeds that home from `~/.paseo` by copying agent/project JSON metadata
-  and `config.json`; actual checkout/worktree directories are not copied.
-- `PASEO_DEV_SEED_HOME=/path/to/home npm run dev` seeds from a different source home.
-- `PASEO_DEV_RESET_HOME=1 npm run dev` clears and reseeds the derived worktree home.
-
-### Default ports
-
-In the main checkout:
-- Daemon: `localhost:6767`
-- Expo app: `localhost:8081`
-
-In worktrees or with `npm run dev`, ports may differ. Never assume defaults.
-
-### Daemon logs
-
-Check `$PASEO_HOME/daemon.log` for trace-level logs.
-
-### Database queries
-
-Run arbitrary SQL against the SQLite database:
-
-```bash
-# Show table row counts
-npm run db:query
-
-# Run any SQL
-npm run db:query -- "SELECT agent_id, title, last_status FROM agent_snapshots"
-npm run db:query -- "SELECT agent_id, seq, item_kind FROM agent_timeline_rows ORDER BY committed_at DESC LIMIT 10"
-
-# Point at a specific DB directory
-npm run db:query -- --db /path/to/db "SELECT ..."
-```
-
-Auto-detects the running dev daemon's database from `/tmp/paseo-dev.*`, `PASEO_HOME`, or `~/.paseo/db`.
-Pass either a DB directory or a `paseo.sqlite` file to `--db`. The script opens the database directly in read-only mode.
-
-## paseo.json service scripts
-
-Every `scripts` entry with `"type": "service"` receives these environment variables:
-
-| Variable | Value |
-|---|---|
-| `PASEO_SERVICE_<NAME>_URL` | Proxied daemon URL for a declared peer service. Prefer this for peer discovery; it survives peer restarts. |
-| `PASEO_SERVICE_<NAME>_PORT` | Raw ephemeral port for a declared peer service. Use only as a bypass escape hatch; it can go stale if that peer restarts. |
-| `PASEO_URL` | Self alias for `PASEO_SERVICE_<SELF>_URL`. |
-| `PASEO_PORT` | Self alias for `PASEO_SERVICE_<SELF>_PORT`. |
-| `HOST` | Bind host for the service process. |
-
-`<NAME>` is normalized from the script name by uppercasing it, replacing each run of non-`A-Z0-9` characters with `_`, and trimming leading or trailing `_`. For example, `app-server` and `app.server` both normalize to `APP_SERVER`; that collision fails at spawn time with an actionable error.
-
-`PORT` is not injected by default. If a framework requires `PORT`, set it in the command:
-
-```json
-{
-  "scripts": {
-    "web": {
-      "type": "service",
-      "command": "PORT=$PASEO_PORT npm run dev:web"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Build sync gotchas
-
-### Relay → Daemon
-
-When changing `packages/relay/src/*`, rebuild before running the daemon:
-
-```bash
-npm run build --workspace=@getpaseo/relay
-```
-
-The Node daemon imports `@getpaseo/relay` from `packages/relay/dist/*`, not `src/*`.
-
-### Server → CLI
-
-When changing `packages/server/src/client/*` (especially `daemon-client.ts`) or shared WS protocol types, rebuild before running CLI commands:
-
-```bash
-npm run build --workspace=@getpaseo/server
-```
-
-The CLI imports `@getpaseo/server` via package exports resolving to `dist/*`. Stale `dist` means the CLI speaks an old protocol and fails with handshake warnings or timeouts.
-
-## CLI reference
-
-Use `npm run cli` to run the local CLI (instead of the globally installed `paseo` which points to the main checkout).
-
-```bash
-npm run cli -- ls -a -g              # List all agents globally
-npm run cli -- ls -a -g --json       # Same, as JSON
-npm run cli -- inspect <id>          # Show detailed agent info
-npm run cli -- logs <id>             # View agent timeline
-npm run cli -- daemon status         # Check daemon status
-```
-
-Use `--host <host:port>` to point the CLI at a different daemon:
-
-```bash
-npm run cli -- --host localhost:7777 ls -a
-```
-
-## Agent state
-
-Agent data lives at:
-
-```
-$PASEO_HOME/agents/{cwd-with-dashes}/{agent-id}.json
-```
-
-Find an agent by ID:
-```bash
-find $PASEO_HOME/agents -name "{agent-id}.json"
-```
-
-Find by content:
-```bash
-rg -l "some title text" $PASEO_HOME/agents/
-```
-
-## Provider session files
-
-Get the session ID from the agent JSON (`persistence.sessionId`), then:
-
-**Claude:**
-```
-~/.claude/projects/{cwd-with-dashes}/{session-id}.jsonl
-```
-
-**Codex:**
-```
-~/.codex/sessions/{YYYY}/{MM}/{DD}/rollout-{timestamp}-{session-id}.jsonl
-```
-
-## Testing with Playwright MCP
-
-Use Playwright MCP connecting to Metro at `http://localhost:8081` for UI testing.
-
-Do NOT use browser history (back/forward). Always navigate by clicking UI elements or using `browser_navigate` with the full URL — the app uses client-side routing and browser history breaks state.
-
-## Expo troubleshooting
-
-```bash
-npx expo-doctor
-```
-
-Diagnoses version mismatches and native module issues.
-
-## Typecheck
-
-Always run typecheck after changes:
-
-```bash
-npm run typecheck

-# 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.

+# Agent lifecycle
+
+How an agent is created, runs, becomes a subagent, gets archived, and disappears from the UI. The model spans the daemon (lifecycle, archive) and the client (tabs, the subagents track).
+
+## States
+
+```
+initializing → idle → running → idle (or error → closed)
+                 ↑        │
+                 └────────┘  (agent completes a turn, awaits next prompt)
+```
+
+Each agent in `AgentManager` carries a `lastStatus` of `initializing`, `idle`, `running`, `error`, or `closed`. State transitions persist to disk and stream to subscribed clients via WebSocket.
+
+## Relationships
+
+Agents can launch other agents via the `create_agent` MCP tool. When they do, the daemon stamps the new agent with a label `paseo.parent-agent-id` pointing back at the caller (`packages/server/src/server/agent/mcp-server.ts:804`). The client surfaces that as `agent.parentAgentId`.
+
+There is exactly one relationship type today: `parentAgentId`. The daemon does not distinguish between:
+
+- **Subagents** — children that exist as part of the parent's work (e.g. orchestration tasks the parent delegates and waits on)
+- **Detached agents** — children launched to take over from the parent (e.g. handoffs, fire-and-forget delegations)
+
+Both look the same in storage. This is an accepted limitation — see [Limitations](#limitations).
+
+## Archive
+
+Archive is a **soft delete**: the agent record stays on disk with `archivedAt` set, the runtime is closed, and the agent disappears from active lists. Archive is **global** — it lives on the server and propagates to every connected client.
+
+Archiving runs through `AgentManager.archiveAgent` (`packages/server/src/server/agent/agent-manager.ts`):
+
+1. Snapshot the current session into the registry
+2. Set `archivedAt` and normalize `lastStatus` away from `running`/`initializing`
+3. Notify subscribers
+4. Close the runtime (kills the process if still running)
+5. **Cascade-archive children** — any agent whose `paseo.parent-agent-id` label matches the archived agent gets archived too, recursively
+
+Cascade is what keeps subagent fleets from outliving their orchestrator.
+
+## Tabs vs archive
+
+These are two distinct concepts that used to be conflated:
+
+| Concept                    | Scope      | Triggers                   |
+| -------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------------- |
+| **Tab** (workspace layout) | Per-client | User opens/closes a view   |
+| **Archive** (lifecycle)    | Global     | Explicit lifecycle gesture |
+
+Closing a tab on a **root agent** still archives — the tab is the agent's home, so closing it means "I'm done with this agent." A confirm dialog protects against archiving a running agent by accident.
+
+Closing a tab on a **subagent** (any agent with `parentAgentId`) is **layout-only**. The agent stays unarchived and stays in its parent's track. The user can re-open the tab from the track at any time. This is implemented in `handleCloseAgentTab` (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`).
+
+The asymmetry is intentional: a subagent's home is the parent's track, not the tab. Tabs are ephemeral viewing slots; the track is the persistent record of the parent's children.
+
+## The subagents track
+
+The collapsible section above the composer in an agent's pane (`packages/app/src/subagents/subagents-section.tsx`). Membership rule (`packages/app/src/subagents/subagents.ts`):
+
+```
+parentAgentId === thisAgent.id  AND  !archivedAt
+```
+
+Archived subagents disappear from the track, by design. To remove a subagent from the track without closing its tab, use the **archive button (X)** on the row — it opens a confirm dialog and archives the subagent on confirm. That same archive shows the subagent leave the track on every connected client.
+
+## Why this shape
+
+The decision was to **decouple "close tab" from "archive" only for subagents**, rather than universally:
+
+- **Closing a tab on a root agent still archives** — preserves the existing UX users are trained on
+- **Closing a tab on a subagent is layout-only** — fixes the lossy "click to read, close to dismiss view, lose the row" flow
+- **Archive button on track rows** — gives subagents an explicit lifecycle gesture in their home surface
+- **Cascade archive on parent** — keeps subagents from leaking when the parent is archived
+
+We considered universal decoupling (no tab close ever archives, archive is always explicit) but rejected it: it changes a behavior root-agent users rely on.
+
+## Limitations
+
+### Detached agents are cascade-archived
+
+The daemon can't tell a "subagent" apart from a "detached agent" — both carry `paseo.parent-agent-id`. So when you archive an agent that previously launched a detached child (e.g. via `/paseo-handoff`), cascade will archive the detached child too, even though semantically it should outlive the originator.
+
+Until a richer relation model lands (e.g. a `relation: "subagent" | "detached"` field on creation, or a separate channel for handoff launches), this trade-off stands. Workaround: don't archive an agent whose work was handed off, or unarchive the detached child afterward.
+
+### Subagent accumulation under long-lived parents
+
+A parent that spawns many subagents will see the track grow. There's no automatic cleanup for completed subagents — the user prunes via the archive button on each row. A bulk gesture (e.g. "archive all idle children") could land later if this becomes a real problem.
+
+### Cross-client tab dismissal
+
+Closing a subagent's tab on one client doesn't affect other clients' layouts. This is the expected behavior of decoupled tabs and is consistent with how layouts have always worked. Archive remains the global gesture for cross-client cleanup.

+
+## WebSocket protocol
+
+All clients speak the same WebSocket protocol over a single connection that mixes JSON text frames and a small binary framing for terminal streams. Schemas live in `packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts`.
+
+**Handshake:**
+
+```
+Client → Server:  WSHelloMessage {
+                    type: "hello",
+                    clientId,
+                    clientType: "mobile" | "browser" | "cli" | "mcp",
+                    protocolVersion,
+                    appVersion?,
+                    capabilities?: { voice?, pushNotifications?, ... },
+                  }
+Server → Client:  status message with payload { status: "server_info",
+                    serverId, hostname, version, capabilities?, features }
+```
+
+There is no dedicated welcome message; the server emits a `status` session message after accepting the hello, then begins streaming. The session stores client capabilities from the hello and rehydrates them on reconnect, so the wire boundary can ask one question: `session.supports(...)`.
+
+**Top-level WS envelopes** are `hello`, `recording_state`, `ping`/`pong`, and `session` (which wraps the rich union of session messages).
+
+**Notable session message types:**
+
+- `agent_update` — Agent state changed (status, title, labels)
+- `agent_stream` — New timeline event from a running agent
+- `workspace_update`, `script_status_update`, `workspace_setup_progress` — Workspace state
+- `agent_permission_request` / `agent_permission_resolved` — Tool-call permission flow
+- `agent_deleted`, `agent_archived`, `agent_status`, `agent_list`
+- `checkout_status_update`, `checkout_diff_update`, and the full `checkout_*` request/response set for git operations
+- Terminal subscribe/input/capture commands
+- Voice/dictation streaming events (`dictation_stream_*`, `assistant_chunk`, `audio_output`, `transcription_result`)
+- Request/response pairs for fetch, list, create, etc., correlated by `requestId`; failures use `rpc_error`
+
+**Binary frames (terminal stream protocol):**
+
+Terminal I/O is sent as binary WebSocket frames decoded by `decodeTerminalStreamFrame` in `shared/binary-frames/terminal.ts`. The layout is:
+
+- 1-byte opcode: `Output (0x01)`, `Input (0x02)`, `Resize (0x03)`, `Snapshot (0x04)`
+- 1-byte slot: terminal slot id
+- variable payload: bytes for output/input, JSON-encoded `{ rows, cols }` for resize, terminal snapshot for snapshot
+
+There is also a separate file-transfer binary frame format in the same directory, used for download/upload streams.
+
+### Compatibility rules
+
+- WebSocket schemas are append-only. Add fields, do not remove fields, and never make optional fields required.
+- New wire enum values must be gated at serialization with `session.supports(CLIENT_CAPS.someCapability)`.
+- `Session` stores client capabilities from the `hello` handshake and rehydrates them on reconnect, so the wire boundary can ask one question: `session.supports(...)`.
+
+Example: adding a new enum value
+
+```ts
+// 1. Add CLIENT_CAPS.newThing = "new_thing"
+// 2. Let new clients advertise it in WS hello
+// 3. Keep the shared producer schema strict
+// 4. Gate the new emitted value: session.supports(CLIENT_CAPS.newThing) ? "new_value" : "old_value"
+```
+
+## Agent lifecycle
+
+The lifecycle states are defined in `shared/agent-lifecycle.ts`:
+
+```
+initializing → idle ⇄ running
+        ↓       ↓        ↓
+              error
+                ↓
+              closed
+```
+
+- `initializing` — provider session is being created
+- `idle` — has a live session, awaiting the next prompt
+- `running` — provider is currently producing a turn
+- `error` — last attempt failed; session is still attached
+- `closed` — terminal state, no live session
+
+`ManagedAgent` is a discriminated union over those lifecycle tags. Notes:
+
+- **AgentManager** is the source of truth for agent state and broadcasts updates to all subscribers
+- Timeline is append-only with epochs (each run starts a new epoch). Storage uses sequence numbers for client-side dedup; the default fetch page is 200 items
+- Events stream to all subscribed clients in real time
+- Agent state persists to `$PASEO_HOME/agents/{cwd-with-dashes}/{agent-id}.json` (timeline rows live alongside the record)
+
+## Agent providers
+
+Each provider implements the `AgentClient` interface in `agent/agent-sdk-types.ts`. Provider implementations live in `agent/providers/`.
+
+The three first-class, user-facing providers are Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. Additional adapters exist in the same directory for ACP-compatible agents and internal use:
+
+| Provider           | Wraps                                | Session format                                     |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| Claude (`claude/`) | Anthropic Agent SDK                  | `~/.claude/projects/{cwd}/{session-id}.jsonl`      |
+| Codex              | Codex AppServer (`codex-app-server`) | `~/.codex/sessions/{date}/rollout-{ts}-{id}.jsonl` |
+| OpenCode           | OpenCode server / CLI                | Provider-managed                                   |
+| Cursor / Copilot   | ACP wrapper (`acp-agent`)            | Provider-managed                                   |
+| Generic ACP        | ACP wrapper                          | Provider-managed                                   |
+| Pi-direct          | Direct Anthropic API call            | Stateless                                          |
+| Mock load test     | In-process fake                      | In-memory                                          |
+
+All providers:
+
+- Handle their own authentication (Paseo does not manage API keys)
+- Support session resume via persistence handles
+- Map tool calls to a normalized `ToolCallDetail` type
+- Expose provider-specific modes (plan, default, full-access)
+
+## Data flow: running an agent
+
+1. Client sends `CreateAgentRequestMessage` with config (prompt, cwd, provider, model, mode)
+2. Session routes to `AgentManager.create()`
+3. AgentManager creates a `ManagedAgent`, initializes provider session
+4. Provider runs the agent → emits `AgentStreamEvent` items
+5. Events append to the agent timeline, broadcast to all subscribed clients
+6. Tool calls are normalized to `ToolCallDetail` (shell, read, edit, write, search, etc.)
+7. Permission requests flow: agent → server → client → user decision → server → agent
+
+## Storage
+
+`$PASEO_HOME` defaults to `~/.paseo`. The most important files:
+
+```
+$PASEO_HOME/
+├── agents/{cwd-with-dashes}/{agent-id}.json   # Agent record + persisted timeline rows

+└── daemon.log                                  # Daemon trace logs (rotated)
+```
+
+## Deployment models
+
+1. **Local daemon** (default): `paseo daemon start` on `127.0.0.1:6767`
+2. **Managed desktop**: Electron app spawns daemon as subprocess
+3. **Remote + relay**: Daemon behind firewall, relay bridges with E2E encryption

+# Coding Standards
+
+The core instinct: AI-generated code hedges — it covers every case, layers over instead of cutting in, scatters uncertainty everywhere, wraps in case. A senior engineer commits — to a shape, a boundary, a name, a happy path, a type — and lets everything else fall into place. Every rule below catches a different form of indecision.
+
+For testing rules, see [testing.md](testing.md).
+
+## Core principles
+
+- **Zero complexity budget** — every abstraction must justify itself with a specific, current benefit.
+- **YAGNI** — build features and abstractions only when needed. A function called once is indirection, not abstraction.
+- **No "while I'm at it" cleanups** — make the change you came for. Drive-by edits hide in the diff.
+- **Functional and declarative** over object-oriented.
+- **`function` declarations** over arrow function assignments.
+- **`interface`** over `type` when both work.
+- **No `index.ts` barrel files** that only re-export — they create indirection and circular-dep risk. Import from the source.
+
+## Comments and noise
+
+- Delete any comment where removing it loses zero information. Comments explain _why_, not _what_.
+- No tutorial comments explaining language features (`// Use destructuring to...`).
+- No decorative section dividers (`// ===== Helpers =====`). Use files and modules to organize, not ASCII art.
+- No hedging comments (`// might need to revisit`, `// should work for most cases`). If you're unsure, investigate.
+- No commented-out code. Git remembers.
+- No `console.log` / `debugger` left behind. No `TODO: implement` stubs — if it needs to exist, write it.
+
+## Confidence: commit to a shape
+
+- Validate at boundaries (network, IPC, user input, file I/O), trust types internally. After the parse, the value is what its type says.
+- Every `?.` and `??` past the validation boundary is unconfident code — either the boundary should resolve it, or the type should reflect reality.
+- No defensive checks for conditions the type system already rules out (`if (!agent) return` on a non-nullable parameter).
+- No `try/catch` "just in case." If you can't say what you're catching and why, don't catch.
+- Optionality is a design decision, not a migration shortcut. Distinct valid states → discriminated union. Intentionally empty → explicit `null`. Keep optionality at real boundaries.
+
+## Types
+
+- No `any`. No `as` casts to bypass errors. No `@ts-ignore` / `@ts-expect-error`. Narrow with `if` / schema validation; let the compiler check harder, not less.
+- If a Zod schema exists, the TypeScript type is `z.infer<typeof schema>`. Never hand-write a parallel type.
+- One canonical type per concept. Layer-specific views are `Pick` / `Omit`, not duplicated fields.
+- Name multi-property object shapes — no inline `Array<{ ... }>` or `Promise<{ ... }>` in signatures, returns, or generic args.
+- Use string literal unions, not raw `string`, when the value is one of a known set. Catches typos at compile time.
+- Object parameters past the obvious-name threshold: 3+ args, any boolean arg, any optional arg → object. `(thing, true, false, true)` is unreadable at the call site.
+- Make impossible states impossible — discriminated unions over `{ isLoading; error?; data? }` bags.
+
+## Errors
+
+- Throw typed error classes that carry the fields a caller would want to read. Plain `Error("Provider X not found")` collapses structured info into a string.
+- Catch blocks branch on `instanceof` for what they can handle; rethrow the rest. No `catch (e) { return null }`.
+- Separate user-facing copy from log/debug strings — don't make one string serve telemetry, logs, and the UI.
+- Fail explicitly. If the caller asked for X and X isn't available, throw — don't silently substitute Y.
+
+## Density
+
+- Nested ternaries are forbidden. A single ternary is fine only when both branches are a single identifier or trivial access (`x ? a : b`).
+- Boolean expressions with 2+ clauses or mixed concerns → name the conditions.
+- Object literals assemble pre-computed values; don't pack branching and lookups into property positions.
+- Operations wrapping operations (`Object.fromEntries(arr.filter(...).map(...))`, `Math.max(...xs.map(...))`) → break into named intermediates.
+- Max 3 levels of nesting (callbacks, JSX, control flow). Above that, extract.
+
+## Structure and modules
+
+- A directory is a module, not a namespace. One intentional public surface; internal files stay internal.
+- Path is part of the name — prefer `provider/registry.ts` over `provider/provider-registry.ts`. If the filename has to do double duty, deepen the path.
+- Filenames ending in `-utils`, `-helpers`, `-manager`, `-handler`, `-controller`, `-formatter`, `-builder` are a smell — the path didn't carry enough domain.
+- Boundary returns answer the caller's question (`getActiveAgents()`), not "here's my storage" (`getAgents().filter(...)` repeated everywhere).
+- One adapter means a hypothetical seam; two adapters means a real one. Don't define a port until something actually varies across it.
+- Pass-through modules fail the deletion test — if removing the module makes callers go straight to what they wanted, delete it.
+- Centralize policy. The same discriminator (`plan`, `provider`, `kind`, `status`) branched in 3+ files → policy table, not another `else if` per case.
+- New features get a home before implementation. A feature smeared across 5 shared files is the same slop as a flat-peer namespace.
+- Don't drop new files at the nearest root just because placement is unclear — say so and ask.
+
+## Refactoring is a bolt-on test
+
+- A change should look like a thoughtful edit to existing code, not a new layer next to it. New coordinator wrapping a coordinator, new flag bypassing the normal path, new helper duplicating an existing selector — stop and reshape instead.
+- Refactors preserve behavior by default. No removing features to simplify code without explicit approval.
+- Have a verification plan _before_ refactoring — name the invariants, confirm a test holds them, write one if not. See [testing.md](testing.md).
+- Migrate all callers and remove old paths in the same refactor. No fallback behavior unless explicitly designed.
+
+## React
+
+- `useEffect` is for synchronizing with external systems (DOM, network, timers, subscriptions). Not for transforming React state. Derived state → compute in render or `useMemo`.
+- No effect cascades — chains of effects setting state that triggers more effects almost always want React Query or a reducer.
+- `useRef` is for DOM refs and non-rendering identities (timer IDs, AbortController, latest-callback caches). If the value affects what renders next, it's state — model it explicitly with `useReducer` and a discriminated union.
+- Server state goes through React Query. Manual `useState` + `useEffect` + `isLoading` + `error` for fetched data is always worse.
+- Components render and dispatch — they don't compute transitions. Two-plus interacting `useState`s → extract a reducer.
+- Never define components inside other components. Module-scope only.
+- Subscribe narrowly: select primitives from stores, pass `status` not `agent`, use `useShallow` / deep-equal when returning derived arrays/objects.
+- Stable references for props that cross `memo` boundaries or feed dependency arrays. Static literals at module scope `as const`; derived with `useMemo`; handlers with `useCallback` only when there's a memoized beneficiary.
+- Use stable ids for `key`, never array index for reorderable/filterable lists.
+- Context for stable values (theme, auth). Store with selectors for state that changes.
+
+## Naming
+
+- Names describe meaning, not mechanics. `submitForm` over `handleOnClickButtonSubmit`. `running` over `filteredArrayOfRunningAgents`.
+- The right length is the shortest unambiguous in context. Inside `AgentManager`, methods are `start`, `stop`, `list`.
+- Match the surrounding code's vocabulary. If the codebase uses `getX`, don't introduce `fetchX` / `retrieveX` for the same shape.
+- Don't leak implementation into names — `getAgent`, not `queryPostgresForAgent`. If swapping the impl would force a rename, the name is wrong.
+- Booleans read as yes/no questions: `isX`, `hasX`, `canX`. Avoid negative booleans (`isNotConnected`).
+- `data`, `result`, `info`, `manager`, `temp` are smells — say what the thing _is_.

+# Data Model
+
+Paseo uses **file-based JSON persistence** instead of a traditional database. All data is validated at runtime with Zod schemas. Most stores write atomically (write to temp file, then rename); a few still use plain `writeFile` — see each section. There is no schema-versioning/migration framework — schemas rely on optional fields with defaults for forward compatibility, with a small amount of inline normalization in `persisted-config.ts` for legacy provider/speech entries.
+
+All server-side stores live under `$PASEO_HOME` (defaults to `~/.paseo`).
+

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

+# Design
+
+Tokens — every color, font size, weight, spacing step, radius, icon size — live in `packages/app/src/styles/theme.ts`.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Character
+
+Paseo is minimal, spacious, quiet, confident. Whitespace is deliberate. Nothing crowds, nothing decorates, nothing apologizes. A row, a label, a control. That is the bar.
+
+The app is calm so the user's work is not. Every visual decision serves either _act on this_ or _understand this_ — never _look at this_.
+
+Consistency comes from component reuse, not from hand-matching styles across surfaces. A row in the projects list, a row in settings, and a row in a modal are the same component, not three implementations that happen to look alike. When two surfaces do the same semantic thing in two different ways, one of them is wrong.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Component reuse
+
+A semantic element used in three or more places is a primitive. One of a kind is a screen.
+
+Primitives live in `packages/app/src/components/ui/` and `packages/app/src/components/headers/`. Card and row layout live in `packages/app/src/styles/settings.ts`. Section structure lives in `packages/app/src/screens/settings/settings-section.tsx`.
+
+A pressable styled to look like a button is wrong; the button is `<Button>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/button.tsx`). A bare `<Text>` styled to look like a section header is wrong; the section header is `<SettingsSection>` (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/settings-section.tsx`). A custom `Modal` for a confirmation is wrong; the confirmation is `confirmDialog` (`packages/app/src/utils/confirm-dialog.ts`). A hand-rolled overflow menu is wrong; the menu is `<DropdownMenu>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/dropdown-menu.tsx`). A hand-rolled status pill is wrong; the pill is `<StatusBadge>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx`).
+
+Before adding a new component, read `components/ui/`. The primitive usually exists.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Hierarchy
+
+Hierarchy is conveyed through weight and color, not size. Most labels, titles, and hints across the app are `fontSize.base` or `fontSize.xs`. The distinction between a row's primary line and its secondary line is `foreground` versus `foregroundMuted`.
+
+Weight has three tiers, applied by role:
+
+- **Screen titles** — the title at the top of a screen — use `<ScreenTitle>` (`packages/app/src/components/headers/screen-title.tsx`), which renders `fontSize.base` at weight `400` on compact and `300` on desktop. Top-of-screen titles are lighter on desktop, not heavier. The workspace screen header follows the same rule (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`).
+- **Structural labels** use `fontWeight.medium`. This applies to section labels above a stack of rows (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:519-523`, `packages/app/src/components/keyboard-shortcuts-dialog.tsx:63-67`), form field labels above an input inside a modal (`packages/app/src/components/add-host-modal.tsx:19-23`, `packages/app/src/components/pair-link-modal.tsx:24-28`), the title at the top of a modal/sheet/dialog (`packages/app/src/components/adaptive-modal-sheet.tsx:90-94`, `packages/app/src/components/ui/combobox.tsx:1607-1611`, `packages/app/src/components/welcome-screen.tsx:48-53`), action button labels in tight components such as the sidebar callout actions (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-callout.tsx:218-221`), and inline data emphasis on dense metadata rows (`packages/app/src/components/git-diff-pane.tsx:2322-2327`, `packages/app/src/components/file-explorer-pane.tsx:1115-1122`).
+- **Content** uses `fontWeight.normal`. This applies to settings rows (`packages/app/src/styles/settings.ts`), sidebar primary list-item titles (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:2680-2686`, `packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:572-578`), `<Button>` text (`packages/app/src/components/ui/button.tsx:80-84`), `<StatusBadge>` text (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx:56-60`), and `<SidebarCallout>` titles (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-callout.tsx:175-180`).
+
+The rule, condensed: text that _names_ a surface or a group is `medium`. Text that lives _inside_ a surface or a group is `normal`. Top-of-screen titles are `<ScreenTitle>`, which is lighter still.
+
+Foreground is for the thing being acted on: row titles, section headings, the selected sidebar item. `foregroundMuted` is for context: hints, descriptions, secondary metadata, idle sidebar items, placeholders, status text.
+
+Accent is the one CTA per surface. A `<Button variant="default">` filled with `accent` appears at most once on a page. Most pages have zero — settings is mostly toggles and text, the workspace pane is mostly content, the chat composer is the input itself.
+
+Destructive is a color, not a click. Restart-daemon and remove-host are `<Button variant="outline">` in the row trailing slot; the destructive surface only appears inside the `confirmDialog` (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:541-547`). Workspace archive opens a confirm dialog before any red appears (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`). Red appears after the user has indicated intent.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Buttons
+
+The button is `<Button>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/button.tsx`). It has five variants. Each has one job.
+
+`default` is the one primary action on a surface — filled with `accent`. At most one per page. The primary slot inside an `<AdaptiveModalSheet>` and the highlighted action on the welcome screen are the canonical uses.
+
+`secondary` is the paired action when two actions carry equal weight — filled with `surface3`. The component default is `secondary`, which matches its frequency in the codebase.
+
+`outline` is the low-frequency action that lives on a row — transparent with `borderAccent`. Restart, Remove, Update on host detail (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:585-594`).
+
+`ghost` is structural and non-committal — no border, no fill. Back arrows, header toggles, "Load more" footers (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:54-63`), more-affordances. Ghost is used when the affordance is part of the chrome, not a decision.
+
+`destructive` is filled with `destructive`. It only appears inside a confirm. The button on the page is `outline`; the destructive button is the confirm button inside the dialog.
+
+Sizes: `xs` for ultra-tight inline triggers. `sm` for any button sitting in a row. `md` is the page default. `lg` is reserved for large standalone CTAs.
+
+A `<Pressable>` wrapping a `<Text>` is a sixth variant. It is wrong. `<Button>` accepts `style`, `textStyle`, `leftIcon`, `disabled`, `size`, and `variant`.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Borders
+
+Borders group, separate, or rarely emphasize.
+
+A logical block of related rows lives inside a card — one border around the whole group. The card primitive is `settingsStyles.card`; the keyboard-shortcuts dialog uses the same shape inline (`packages/app/src/components/keyboard-shortcuts-dialog.tsx:68-73`). The border defines what belongs together.
+
+Rows after the first inside a card carry `settingsStyles.rowBorder` — a single top border. The first row never has one. The same divider pattern appears in the keyboard-shortcuts dialog rows (`packages/app/src/components/keyboard-shortcuts-dialog.tsx:74-83`). Rows do not need their own background to feel separated.
+
+A list that is itself the page content — sidebar items in `sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`, the workspace list, the agent list (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx`) — uses spacing and surface, not borders, to separate items. Rows-in-a-card is an interior pattern; lists-as-pages are not.
+
+Pane chrome — the workspace pane header, the file-explorer header, the diff pane header — uses a single bottom border to separate the header from the content (`packages/app/src/components/git-diff-pane.tsx:2328-2331`). One border, no shadow.
+
+`borderAccent` is reserved for the outline button. Inputs use `border`. Single-thing borders are wrong; a single bordered element is either a card with one row (use the card) or it does not need a border.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Pickers
+
+Five primitives. The pick is determined by option count, the need to search, and how the picker is anchored.
+
+`<DropdownMenu>` is for a small fixed set anchored to a trigger. Theme picker, kebab menus on workspace and project rows (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:684-770`), row "more" menus. Items can be async (`status: "pending"`) and can include destructive entries. Under ~10 options where the user knows what they're looking for.
+
+`<Combobox>` is for a large or searchable list. Host switcher in the sidebar footer, model selector in the composer, branch switcher in the workspace header (`packages/app/src/components/branch-switcher.tsx`). The user types to find the option, or the list is long enough to scroll.
+
+`<ContextMenu>` is for right-click and long-press on a target. The row is the trigger; there is no visible affordance. Used for incidental actions on workspace rows in the sidebar (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`).
+
+`<AdaptiveModalSheet>` is for a focused task. Multi-field forms (`packages/app/src/components/add-host-modal.tsx`, `packages/app/src/components/pair-link-modal.tsx`, `packages/app/src/components/project-picker-modal.tsx`), confirmations with detail, anything that earns a backdrop. Bottom sheet on compact, centered card on desktop. Raw `Modal` is wrong for any of these.
+
+`confirmDialog` is for destructive yes/no and imperative confirmation. Promise-based: `await confirmDialog({ destructive: true, ... })`. Anything where a wrong click loses work.
+
+Three themes is `DropdownMenu`. Thirty hosts is `Combobox`. A label and a value is `AdaptiveModalSheet`. "Are you sure?" is `confirmDialog`.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Density and rhythm
+
+Settings detail pages, the projects detail page, and any list+detail content sit inside a centered, max-width 720 column (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx`, `packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`). Lines stay readable, the eye does not have to track wide horizontal distances. Form modals carry their own narrower content frame (`packages/app/src/components/add-host-modal.tsx`).
+
+Workspace and chat surfaces use the full width — these are working surfaces, not reading surfaces. The composer carries `MAX_CONTENT_WIDTH` from `packages/app/src/constants/layout.ts` to keep lines readable while letting the workspace pane fill the rest.
+
+Sections sit apart. `<SettingsSection>` owns its own bottom margin; the next thing is wrapped in another `<SettingsSection>`. The agent-list `sectionHeading` carries the same `marginTop`/`marginBottom` rhythm (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:511-517`). Adding `marginBottom` to a section is wrong.
+
+Cards inside a section sit closer than sections. Rows inside a card touch — only the divider separates them. The rhythm is page → spacious; section → spacious; card → tight.
+
+Rows have generous vertical padding: roughly 16px of content plus 16px of vertical padding for settings rows, 8–12px for sidebar list items where many rows must fit. Compressing rows below the established density to fit more on the screen is wrong. Too many rows means more cards or more sections, not smaller rows.
+
+The whitespace is the design.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Responsiveness
+
+Compact-first. The small case is designed; the large case adds chrome around it.
+
+The list+detail pattern is canonical and reused across surfaces. The settings shell (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx`) and the projects screen (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`) implement it identically:
+
+- On compact: full-screen list with `<BackHeader>` at the top. Tapping a row pushes a full-screen detail with its own `<BackHeader>` that returns to the list.
+- On desktop: a 320px sidebar on the left holds the list with `surfaceSidebar` background. The content pane on the right holds the selected detail with `<ScreenHeader>`, `<HeaderIconBadge>`, and `<ScreenTitle>`.
+
+The branching is one `useIsCompactFormFactor()` check at the top of the screen component. The list and the detail are the same components in both layouts; only the framing changes.
+
+The workspace screen (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`) follows a different but parallel rule: tabs collapse on compact, panes split on desktop. The sidebar (`packages/app/src/components/left-sidebar.tsx`) is overlaid on compact and pinned on desktop.
+
+A new list+detail feature copies the settings shell. A new workspace-shaped feature copies the workspace shell. Inventing a third shape happens in design review, not in a PR.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Copy and voice
+
+Sentence case. "Pair a device", "Danger zone", "Restart daemon", "Inject Paseo tools", "No sessions yet", "Load more". Proper nouns retain casing — Paseo, Beta, Stable, Local. Title case is wrong.
+
+No trailing periods on row titles, labels, or buttons. No trailing period on a single-clause hint: "What happens when you press Enter while the agent is running" (`packages/app/src/screens/settings-screen.tsx:271-272`). Periods exist inside multi-sentence prose: "Restarts the daemon process. The app will reconnect automatically."
+
+Empty-state strings are short noun phrases or short sentences: "No projects yet", "Select a project", "No sessions yet" (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:74-76`), "Host not found".
+
+Buttons are imperative: Save, Cancel, Restart, Remove, Update, Install update, Add host, Load more. In-flight labels are present-participle with a literal three-dot ellipsis: "Saving...", "Restarting...", "Removing...", "Loading...".
+
+Error copy is direct. "Unable to remove host" (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:697`), not "Sorry, we couldn't remove the host." Recovery instructions are concrete: "Wait for it to come online before restarting." Errors describe state; they do not editorialize.
+
+Terminology:
+
+- Workspace, never "checkout".
+- Host, except where the user-facing concept is the daemon process itself ("Restart daemon").
+- Project, not "repo" or "repository".
+- Provider, not "model provider".
+- Session and agent are distinct: a session is a historical entry in `sessions-screen.tsx`; an agent is a live entity in the workspace.
+
+---
+
+## 10. States
+
+Loading is inline by default. `<LoadingSpinner size={14} color={foregroundMuted} />` sits next to the thing it relates to (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:227-231`). Page-level loading is a centered `<LoadingSpinner size="large">` (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:69-72`). Card-level loading is a single short line, not a spinner. In-row dropdown items use `<DropdownMenuItem status="pending" pendingLabel="Removing...">`; the menu item handles its own pending state.
+
+Empty states are short noun phrases. Centered, muted, one or two lines. Sessions screen pairs the empty noun with a single ghost button to navigate back (`packages/app/src/screens/sessions-screen.tsx:74-81`); that pairing is the maximum elaboration. Illustrations and CTAs disguised as empty states are wrong.
+
+Inline errors are a single sentence in `palette.red[300]` `xs`, sitting under the field or inside the card it relates to (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:115-119`).
+
+Page-level alerts — informational notices, success confirmations, warnings, or recoverable errors that need a small visible block on the page — use `<Alert>` (`packages/app/src/components/ui/alert.tsx`). Variants: `default`, `info`, `success`, `warning`, `error`. The chrome is quiet by design: a 1px tinted border, transparent background, a small variant-tinted icon, the title in the variant accent, the description in `foregroundMuted`. Actions go in the `children` slot as `<Button variant="outline" size="sm">` — recovery actions are low-frequency and outline keeps them quiet alongside the alert's accent (`packages/app/src/screens/project-settings-screen.tsx`). One `<Alert>` at a time per region.
+
+Sidebar callouts — cross-cutting alerts that apply across the whole app, like worktree setup, Rosetta install, and desktop update available — register through `useSidebarCallouts()` and render in the left sidebar via `<SidebarCallout>` (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-callout.tsx`). The chrome (top-border-only, full-width action buttons) is tuned for that ~280px column. Canonical sources: `packages/app/src/components/worktree-setup-callout-source.tsx`, `packages/app/src/desktop/updates/rosetta-callout-source.tsx`, `packages/app/src/desktop/updates/update-callout-source.tsx`. Never import `<SidebarCallout>` into a page — that's what `<Alert>` is for.
+
+Imperative errors are `Alert.alert("Error", "Unable to ...")` (the React Native `Alert` API, not this component) for failures that interrupt the flow and have no place on the page.
+
+Disabled state is `opacity: theme.opacity[50]` on the outer pressable. Color changes for disabled state are wrong; a disabled button is the same button, dimmer.
+
+Partial failure (a list mostly fine but one source errored) is a bordered banner above the list, listing each failure in red-300 `xs` (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx:151-159`). The list still renders.
+
+State surfaces at the smallest scope it affects. Field error stays under the field; page error is a banner; flow-stopping error is an `Alert`.
+

+
+## 11. List rows
+
+The row anatomy is a content column with an optional trailing slot. Inside a card the row is `settingsStyles.row`. Inside a sidebar list the row carries its own padding and `borderRadius.lg` per item (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:2614-2625`).
+
+Rows that drill into a detail lead with a chevron in the trailing slot (`ChevronRight`, `iconSize.sm`, `foregroundMuted`). The whole row is the `<Pressable>`. Pair-device row (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:644-668`), provider row (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:92-132`), project row in the projects list. Chevron means navigation.
+
+Kebab menus (`<DropdownMenu>` with `<MoreVertical size={14} />` trigger) are for actions on the row, not navigation. Trigger style: `padding: 2`, `borderRadius: 4`, hover background `surface2`. Menu position: `align="end"`. Items use `<DropdownMenuItem leading={<Icon size={14} color={foregroundMuted} />} ...>`. Visibility is `isHovered || isTouchPlatform` — hover-revealed on web, always visible on native (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:684-770`).
+
+A row may carry both a chevron and a kebab when both navigation and row-level actions apply. Chevron sits at the end; kebab sits before it.
+
+Switches and segmented controls also sit in the trailing slot. A row that both navigates and toggles is a `<Pressable>` with a `<Switch>` in the trailing slot — the switch calls `event.stopPropagation()` so the row press does not fire (`packages/app/src/screens/settings/providers-section.tsx:92-132`). Sidebar items that hold a status dot, a count, and a kebab follow the same rule (`packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`).
+
+Selected state on rows in a desktop list+detail uses `surfaceSidebarHover` as the background (`packages/app/src/screens/projects-screen.tsx`). Selected state on rows in the sidebar list uses `surface2` (`packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:563-571`).
+
+---
+
+## 12. Status pills and badges
+
+Status pills are `palette.<color>[300]` foreground on a 10%-alpha background of the same color. Success uses green, warning uses amber, danger uses red, muted uses zinc. The `<StatusBadge>` primitive (`packages/app/src/components/ui/status-badge.tsx`) is canonical.
+
+Status dots — the small filled circles next to a host or agent name — are `borderRadius.full` filled with the status color (`statusSuccess`, `statusWarning`, `statusDanger`, or `foregroundMuted`). They sit in the trailing slot of a sidebar row or as a leading marker on a status pill.
+
+The bespoke pills in `packages/app/src/screens/settings/host-page.tsx:97-116`, `packages/app/src/components/agent-list.tsx:607-632`, and `packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx:2889-2894` are drift to be removed. New code uses `<StatusBadge>`.
+
+---
+
+## 13. Forbidden
+
+- `fontWeight.medium` on row titles, body text, button labels, badge text, or `<SidebarCallout>` titles. Medium is reserved for the structural-label tier described in §3 — section labels, modal/sheet titles, dense metadata emphasis, and tight action labels. Anything else is `normal`. `<ScreenTitle>` is responsive `400/300` and is never overridden.
+- `<Pressable>` wrapping `<Text>` to make a button. `<Button>` exists.
+- Bare `<Text>` for a section header inside settings. `<SettingsSection>` exists.
+- A "Settings" CTA on a detail page. Detail pages are settings; settings is reached from the sidebar, the host entry, or a row's kebab menu.
+- The word "checkout" in UI strings or identifiers. The term is "workspace".
+- New color tokens or hardcoded hex outside the palette. Status pill rgba backgrounds are the documented pattern (§12), not a license.
+- Placeholder text dimmed beyond `foregroundMuted`. No extra opacity, no italics, no ghost-text.
+- `onPointerEnter` and `onPointerLeave`. They do not fire on native iOS. Hover uses Pressable's `onHoverIn`/`onHoverOut` gated with `isHovered || isCompact || isNative`.
+- Raw DOM APIs without an `isWeb` guard.
+- Spacing values outside the scale. `padding: 20` and `gap: 10` are wrong.
+- Color changes for disabled state. Opacity only.
+- Destructive actions without `confirmDialog`. Restart, remove, archive, and any future destructive action are confirmed.
+- Bespoke status pills. `<StatusBadge>` is the pill primitive.
+- Raw `Modal` for a focused task. `<AdaptiveModalSheet>` is the modal primitive.
+- Importing `ActivityIndicator` directly. `<LoadingSpinner>` is the loading primitive.

+# Development
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js (see `.tool-versions` for exact version)
+- npm workspaces (comes with Node)
+
+## Running the dev server
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+`scripts/dev.sh` runs the daemon and Expo together via `concurrently`, fronted by [`portless`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/portless) so each service is reachable at a stable name like `https://daemon.localhost` / `https://app.localhost` instead of a fixed port. The underlying TCP ports are ephemeral — never hardcode them. (Windows uses `scripts/dev.ps1`, which still binds the daemon to `localhost:6767` directly.)
+
+### PASEO_HOME
+
+`PASEO_HOME` is the directory that holds runtime state (agents, sockets, daemon log). Resolution rules:
+
+- The **server itself** (e.g. when launched by the desktop app or `npm run start`) defaults to `~/.paseo` (see `packages/server/src/server/paseo-home.ts`).
+- **`npm run dev` from a git worktree** derives a stable home like `~/.paseo-<worktree-name>` and, on first run, seeds it from `~/.paseo` by copying agent/project JSON metadata and `config.json`. Checkout/worktree directories are not copied.
+- **`npm run dev` from the main checkout** (not a worktree) uses a fresh `mktemp` directory under `$TMPDIR` and removes it on exit. Set `PASEO_HOME` explicitly to keep state across runs.
+
+Override knobs:
+
+```bash
+PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo-blue npm run dev          # explicit home
+PASEO_DEV_SEED_HOME=/path/to/home npm run dev # seed from a different source home
+PASEO_DEV_RESET_HOME=1 npm run dev            # clear and reseed the derived worktree home
+```
+
+### Daemon endpoints
+
+- Stable daemon launched by the desktop app: `localhost:6767`.
+- `npm run dev` (macOS/Linux): portless URLs only — read them from the `dev.sh` banner or `portless get daemon` / `portless get app`.
+- `npm run dev` (Windows): `localhost:6767` for the daemon.
+
+In any worktree-style or portless setup, never assume default ports.
+
+### Daemon logs
+
+Check `$PASEO_HOME/daemon.log` for trace-level logs.
+
+## paseo.json service scripts
+
+`worktree.setup` and `worktree.teardown` accept either a multiline shell script or an array
+of commands. Both run sequentially.
+
+```json
+{
+  "worktree": {
+    "setup": "npm ci\ncp \"$PASEO_SOURCE_CHECKOUT_PATH/.env\" .env\nnpm run db:migrate",
+    "teardown": "npm run db:drop || true"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Every `scripts` entry with `"type": "service"` receives these environment variables:
+
+| Variable                    | Value                                                                                                                     |
+| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `PASEO_SERVICE_<NAME>_URL`  | Proxied daemon URL for a declared peer service. Prefer this for peer discovery; it survives peer restarts.                |
+| `PASEO_SERVICE_<NAME>_PORT` | Raw ephemeral port for a declared peer service. Use only as a bypass escape hatch; it can go stale if that peer restarts. |

+`<NAME>` is normalized from the script name by uppercasing it, replacing each run of non-`A-Z0-9` characters with `_`, and trimming leading or trailing `_`. For example, `app-server` and `app.server` both normalize to `APP_SERVER`; that collision fails at spawn time with an actionable error.
+
+`PORT` is not injected by default. If a framework requires `PORT`, set it in the command:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "web": {
+      "type": "service",
+      "command": "PORT=$PASEO_PORT npm run dev:web"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Build sync gotchas
+
+The daemon and CLI consume sibling workspaces from compiled `dist/` output, not `src/`. When you change a workspace that something else imports, rebuild the producer first or the consumer will speak a stale protocol and fail with handshake warnings, timeouts, or stale type errors.
+
+The fastest way to keep this consistent is to rebuild the whole daemon stack with one command:
+
+```bash
+npm run build:daemon
+```
+
+This rebuilds, in order, `@getpaseo/highlight` → `@getpaseo/relay` → `@getpaseo/server` → `@getpaseo/cli`. Use it whenever you have changed any of those four and need clean cross-package types or runtime behavior.
+
+For tighter loops, you can rebuild a single workspace:
+
+- Changed `packages/relay/src/*`: `npm run build --workspace=@getpaseo/relay` (server imports `@getpaseo/relay` from `dist/*`).
+- Changed `packages/server/src/client/*` (especially `daemon-client.ts`) or shared WS protocol types: `npm run build --workspace=@getpaseo/server` (CLI imports `@getpaseo/server` via package exports resolving to `dist/*`).
+- Changed `packages/highlight/src/*`: `npm run build --workspace=@getpaseo/highlight` (server depends on it).
+
+## CLI reference
+
+Use `npm run cli` to run the in-repo CLI from source (`npx tsx packages/cli/src/index.ts`). The globally installed `paseo` binary on macOS is a symlink into the installed Paseo desktop app, not this checkout — use it to drive the desktop's built-in daemon, but use `npm run cli` when you want to talk to the CLI you are editing.
+
+```bash
+npm run cli -- ls -a -g              # List all agents globally
+npm run cli -- ls -a -g --json       # Same, as JSON
+npm run cli -- inspect <id>          # Show detailed agent info
+npm run cli -- logs <id>             # View agent timeline
+npm run cli -- daemon status         # Check daemon status
+```
+
+Use `--host <host:port>` to point the CLI at a different daemon:
+
+```bash
+npm run cli -- --host localhost:7777 ls -a
+```
+
+## Agent state
+
+Agent data lives at:
+
+```
+$PASEO_HOME/agents/{cwd-with-dashes}/{agent-id}.json
+```
+
+Find an agent by ID:
+
+```bash
+find $PASEO_HOME/agents -name "{agent-id}.json"
+```
+
+Find by content:
+
+```bash
+rg -l "some title text" $PASEO_HOME/agents/
+```
+
+## Provider session files
+
+Get the session ID from the agent JSON (`persistence.sessionId`), then:
+
+**Claude:**
+
+```
+~/.claude/projects/{cwd-with-dashes}/{session-id}.jsonl
+```
+
+**Codex:**
+
+```
+~/.codex/sessions/{YYYY}/{MM}/{DD}/rollout-{timestamp}-{session-id}.jsonl
+```
+
+## Testing with Playwright MCP
+
+Point Playwright MCP at the running Expo web target. Under `npm run dev` (macOS/Linux) that is the portless URL printed in the dev banner — typically `https://app.localhost`. If you start Expo directly with `expo start --web` (no portless), Metro defaults to `http://localhost:8081`.
+
+Do NOT use browser history (back/forward). Always navigate by clicking UI elements or using `browser_navigate` with the full URL — the app uses client-side routing and browser history breaks state.
+
+## Expo troubleshooting
+
+```bash
+npx expo-doctor
+```
+
+Diagnoses version mismatches and native module issues.
+
+## Typecheck
+
+Always run typecheck after changes:
+
+```bash
+npm run typecheck

+# 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
+- `packages/app/src/components/file-explorer-pane.tsx` is the only consumer; it renders the SVG with `SvgXml` from `react-native-svg`
+
+## 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:

Code: `ProjectSummary` (`packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:22`), `projectKey` (`packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:16`). Forbidden: "Repo", "Repository" as UI label.
+- **Workspace** — One concrete `cwd` on one daemon, with git state; belongs to exactly one project. UI: "Workspace". Code: `WorkspaceDescriptorPayload` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:2178`). Don't confuse with: Branch (one branch can back many workspaces via worktrees). Forbidden: "Folder", "Directory" as UI label.
+- **Workspace kind** — `"directory" | "local_checkout" | "worktree"`. Code: `PersistedWorkspaceKind` (`packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:8`).

+- **Daemon** — Local Paseo server process; identified by `serverId`. UI: "Daemon" (system contexts only). Code: `serverId` in `ServerInfoStatusPayloadSchema` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:1936`), `DaemonClient` (`packages/server/src/client/daemon-client.ts`).
+- **Host** — Client-side connection profile pointing at a daemon; bundles one or more `HostConnection`s. UI: "Host" / "Add host" / "Switch host". Code: `HostProfile` (`packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37`). Forbidden: "Connection" (means `HostConnection`, not host).
+- **Project host entry** — One row in a project for a single (project, daemon) pair, aggregating that daemon's workspaces in the project. Internal. Code: `ProjectHostEntry` (`packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:11`). Don't introduce "Checkout" as a synonym.
+- **Placement** — One workspace's relationship to its project (projectKey, projectName, git checkout snapshot). Internal. Code: `ProjectPlacementPayload` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:2113`).
+- **Branch** — Plain git branch. UI: "Switch branch". Code: `currentBranch` in `WorkspaceGitRuntimePayloadSchema` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:2136`); `BranchSwitcher` (`packages/app/src/components/branch-switcher.tsx`).
+- **Worktree** — Paseo-managed git worktree (`~/.paseo/worktrees/{name}`); also a `workspaceKind` value. UI: CLI + `paseo.json` keys (`worktree.setup`, `worktree.teardown`) only. Code: `ProjectCheckoutLiteGitPaseoPayload` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:2092`); CLI `paseo worktree` (`packages/cli/src/commands/worktree/index.ts:8`). Forbidden: "Checkout" as a synonym.

-# 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`

@@ -59,11 +59,104 @@ Use the beta path when you need to:
 - send a build to a user who is hitting a specific problem
 - iterate on `beta.1`, `beta.2`, `beta.3`, and so on before deciding to ship broadly
 
+## Staged rollout (stable channel)
+
+Stable desktop releases go out via a linear time-based rollout: 0% admitted when the updater manifests appear, 100% admitted 24 hours later, linear ramp in between. Beta releases bypass the rollout entirely — beta users always receive updates immediately.
+
+The rollout is driven by a `rolloutHours` field stamped into the GitHub Release manifests (`latest-mac.yml`, `latest-linux.yml`, `latest.yml`) by the `finalize-rollout` job in `desktop-release.yml`.
+
+Desktop release builds now publish in two phases:
+
+- Platform build jobs upload the installers/packages (`.dmg`, `.zip`, `.exe`, `.AppImage`, etc.) to the GitHub release.
+- The final job merges/stamps the manifests and uploads all `.yml` files only after they already contain the final `releaseDate` and `rolloutHours`.
+
+Updater clients only discover a release through those `.yml` manifests, so there is no silent 100% admission window before rollout metadata is present.
+
+### Default behavior
+
+`npm run release:patch` → tag push → 24h ramp. No extra action needed.
+
+The `rollout_hours` input on `desktop-release.yml` is **only read on `workflow_dispatch`** — tag-push runs always default to 24. To get any other rollout duration on a fresh release, use the post-publish flip below.
+
+### Instant-admit release (rollout_hours=0 from publish)
+
+For a fresh release that should admit everyone immediately (low-risk change, doc-only, hotfix, or just a release you want out fast), cut the release normally and queue the rollout flip immediately after:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Cut and publish (default 24h ramp from tag push).
+npm run release:patch
+
+# 2. Immediately queue the flip — runs as soon as finalize-rollout completes.
+gh workflow run desktop-rollout.yml \
+  -f tag=v0.1.64 \
+  -f rollout_hours=0
+```
+
+**Why this is gap-free:** `desktop-release.yml`'s `finalize-rollout` job and `desktop-rollout.yml` share the concurrency group `desktop-rollout-<tag>`. Dispatching `desktop-rollout.yml` while the tag-push pipeline is still running queues it safely behind `finalize-rollout`. The first public manifests already carry `rolloutHours=24`, then `desktop-rollout.yml` flips them to `rolloutHours=0` shortly afterward. The renderer polls every 30 minutes, so active stable users pick up the new manifest on their next check.
+
+Run the dispatch right after `release:patch` returns. Don't wait for the tag-push CI to finish.
+
+### Adjusting an already-published release
+
+To change the rollout duration on a release that's already shipped — e.g. flip a hotfix to instant admit, or slow a release down — use the dedicated `desktop-rollout.yml` workflow. It edits the manifests in place on the GitHub release without rebuilding anything. It only rewrites `rolloutHours`; `releaseDate` is preserved, so the rollout clock keeps ticking from the original publish time.
+
+**Hotfix (instant admit) on an already-shipped release:**
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run desktop-rollout.yml \
+  -f tag=v0.1.42 \
+  -f rollout_hours=0
+```
+
+`rollout_hours=0` admits 100% of stable users on their next update check (within ~30 min for active clients).
+
+**Slow a rollout down** (e.g. extend total duration to 72h since the original release):
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run desktop-rollout.yml \
+  -f tag=v0.1.42 \
+  -f rollout_hours=72
+```
+
+`rollout_hours` is **total duration since the original release date**, not "extend by N more hours from now." If `v0.1.42` was published 2h ago and you set `rollout_hours=72`, the ramp finishes 70h from now.
+
+The dispatch is idempotent and shares the `desktop-rollout-<tag>` concurrency group with `desktop-release.yml`'s `finalize-rollout` job, so it serializes safely against an in-flight tag-push pipeline targeting the same release.
+
+### Custom ramp on a manually-dispatched build
+
+`desktop-release.yml` accepts `rollout_hours` only on `workflow_dispatch`, which is the path used to **rebuild an existing tag** (retry a failed release, force a rebuild on a different ref). When you go that route, you can stamp a non-default ramp directly:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run desktop-release.yml \
+  -f tag=v0.1.43 \
+  -f rollout_hours=6
+```
+
+This does **not** apply to fresh releases cut via `npm run release:patch` — that path always tag-pushes and stamps 24. For a fresh release with a custom ramp, cut normally and then dispatch `desktop-rollout.yml` (same pattern as the instant-admit flow above, with your chosen `rollout_hours`).
+
+### Releasing during an active rollout
+
+If you ship N+1 while N is still ramping, N+1 starts a fresh rollout from its own publish timestamp. N's rollout effectively ends — the newer manifest supersedes it.
+
+If N+1 is a hotfix for a bug in N, dispatch `desktop-rollout.yml -f tag=v0.1.<N+1> -f rollout_hours=0` after N+1 publishes so the users who already got N reach the fix fast.
+
+### Limitations
+
+- **No pause / kill switch.** Once a stable user is admitted, they will install the update on next quit (`autoInstallOnAppQuit = true`). To stop new admissions, ship a superseding release. To "recall" already-admitted users, ship a hotfix `+1` patch.
+- **No rollback.** `allowDowngrade = false`. Bad release = ship a hotfix.
+- **Bootstrap caveat.** Clients running a build older than the rollout feature ignore `rolloutHours` and admit immediately. Rollout protection only applies to clients running the rollout-aware version or later.
+- **Up to ~30 min admission latency.** Renderer polls every 30 minutes, so a stable user may take up to that long to be evaluated against the rollout window.
+
+## Release notes on GitHub
+
+The GitHub Release body is populated automatically by the `Release Notes Sync` workflow (`.github/workflows/release-notes-sync.yml`). It triggers on every `v*` tag push and on any push to `main` that touches `CHANGELOG.md`, then runs `scripts/sync-release-notes-from-changelog.mjs` to mirror the matching changelog entry into the release body. You don't need to write release notes on GitHub manually — keep `CHANGELOG.md` correct and the workflow will sync it. To force a re-sync, dispatch the workflow with the tag input.

 ## Website behavior
 
 - The website download page points to GitHub's latest published **stable** release.
 - Published beta 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`.
+- The website itself is deployed by `Deploy Website` (Cloudflare Workers), which redeploys on `release: published` for non-prerelease releases and on pushes to `main` that touch `CHANGELOG.md` or `packages/website/**`.

 That model is powerful, but it has sharp edges. Use this note when adding theme-dependent styles.
 
+## STOP — `useUnistyles()` Is Forbidden
+
+**Do not call `useUnistyles()` unless every alternative below has been ruled out and you can explain in a code comment why.** The library authors themselves [strongly advise against it](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/use-unistyles):
+
+> We strongly recommend **not using** this hook, as it will re-render your component on every change. This hook was created to simplify the migration process and should only be used when other methods fail.
+
+We have hit this gotcha repeatedly in Paseo. It manifests as periodic, lockstep re-renders of warm subtrees (agent streams, panels, sidebars) even when nothing the user can see has changed — confirmed in profiling: `AgentStreamView` re-rendering constantly with `theme` showing as the only changed input on every render. The hook subscribes the component to **all** Unistyles runtime changes (theme, breakpoint, insets, color scheme, scale) and returns a fresh object reference each call, which also breaks every downstream `useMemo`/`memo` boundary that includes a derived theme value.
+
+Before reaching for `useUnistyles()`, work down this list of alternatives in order:
+
+### 1. `StyleSheet.create((theme) => ...)` — default
+
+Most theme-aware styling needs nothing else. The Babel plugin tracks theme dependencies inside the factory and updates the native ShadowTree without any React re-render.
+
+```tsx
+const styles = StyleSheet.create((theme) => ({
+  container: {
+    backgroundColor: theme.colors.surface0,
+    padding: theme.spacing[4],
+  },
+}));
+
+<View style={styles.container} />;
+```
+
+If you are reading a theme value just to feed it back into a `style` prop, you almost certainly want this and not the hook.
+
+### 2. Hard-coded constants for genuinely static values
+
+If you only need a number that happens to live on the theme (e.g. a fixed spacing value used to compute a gap or animation distance), use a literal constant or import a static module. Static reads do not need a subscription. See the "Static Theme Imports" section below — importing `baseColors`, theme-name constants, or `type Theme` is fine when the value is intentionally static.
+
+### 3. `withUnistyles(Component)` for third-party props
+
+When a third-party component takes a non-`style` prop that must be theme-reactive (e.g. `BlurView.tint`, `Image.tintColor`, navigator option props, bottom-sheet `backgroundStyle`), wrap that single component with `withUnistyles`. Only the wrapper re-renders, not the surrounding tree.
+
+```tsx
+const ThemedBlur = withUnistyles(BlurView);
+<ThemedBlur tint={theme.colors.surface0} />;
+```
+
+(Mind the `> *` child-selector leak documented further down.)
+
+### 4. Lift the read into a tiny leaf component
+
+If only one prop in a large component needs a theme value at runtime, extract a small leaf component that calls `useUnistyles()` and accept its re-renders in isolation. Never let a whole stream / panel / sidebar / virtualized list subscribe.
+
+### 5. (Last resort) `useUnistyles()`
+
+Only acceptable when both of:
+
+- (a) The value is consumed by a 3rd-party library that cannot be wrapped with `withUnistyles` (per the upstream "When to use it?" list), AND
+- (b) The component is small, leaf-level, and not on a hot render path.
+
+If you add a new `useUnistyles()` call, leave a comment on the line explaining which of (a)/(b) applies and why each higher-priority alternative was ruled out.
+
+### Hot-path forbidden list
+
+Do not introduce `useUnistyles()` in or above any of these subtrees — re-renders here are observably expensive:
+
+- `AgentStreamView` and anything it renders (message rows, tool calls, plan card, todo list, activity log, compaction marker, copy buttons)
+- `AgentPanel` body (`packages/app/src/panels/agent-panel.tsx`)
+- `Composer` and `MessageInput`
+- `WorkspaceScreen` shell, `WorkspaceDesktopTabsRow`, deck wrapper
+- `LeftSidebar` row items, `SidebarWorkspaceList`, `CommandCenter`
+- Anything inside a virtualized list (`@tanstack/react-virtual`, `FlashList`)
+
+Reviewers must reject PRs that add `useUnistyles()` calls in these areas without a written justification matching the last-resort criteria above.

 ## 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.

 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):
+In practice the wrapper-`View` pattern is the one we use. Across the app, `withUnistyles` is now reserved for wrapping leaf components — mostly lucide icons (`ThemedActivityIndicator`, `ThemedChevronDown`, …) and small third-party components like `MarkdownWithStableRenderer` — so they pick up theme-reactive `color`/`tintColor` props without re-rendering their parent.

-`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.
+In principle, [`withUnistyles`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/with-unistyles) can also wrap a `ScrollView` to make `contentContainerStyle` theme-reactive via its [auto-mapping behavior for `style` and `contentContainerStyle`](https://www.unistyl.es/v3/references/with-unistyles#auto-mapping-for-style-and-contentcontainerstyle-props). We previously did this on the welcome screen and hit the `> *` child-selector leak documented below; we have since moved the welcome screen to the wrapper-`View` pattern.

 The sharp edge: Unistyles hashes styles by value. If `withUnistyles` receives a style whose value is **identical** to a style used elsewhere in the app on a plain `View`, both usages get the same hash — and both CSS rules (the element rule and the `> *` child rule) are emitted under the same class name. The `> *` rule then leaks onto the direct children of every `View` that shares the hash.

It also painted a `surface0` band behind the scroll-to-bottom button. The bug only appeared in the browser — Electron skips `WelcomeScreen` after pairing, so the `> *` rule was never injected there.

Importing `baseColors`, theme-name constants, or `type Theme` is fine when the value is intentionally static or type-only.
+
+## Reanimated `Animated.View` + Dynamic Styles Crashes
+
+Do not apply `StyleSheet.create((theme) => ...)` styles to a Reanimated `Animated.View`. Unistyles wraps styled components in a `<UnistylesComponent>` and patches native view props from C++ via the ShadowRegistry. Reanimated also reaches into the same native node from its worklet runtime. When a theme change fires, both systems try to mutate the same node and the app crashes with `Unable to find node on an unmounted component.` This was a real iOS sidebar crash on theme toggle (commit `4896cfe9`).
+
+Fix: keep static positioning on the `Animated.View` in plain React Native `StyleSheet`, and pass theme-dependent values (e.g. `backgroundColor`) as inline style from `useUnistyles()` — the inline path is acceptable here because no other escape works:
+
+```tsx
+import { StyleSheet as RNStyleSheet } from "react-native";
+import Animated from "react-native-reanimated";
+import { useUnistyles } from "react-native-unistyles";
+
+const positionStyles = RNStyleSheet.create({
+  sidebar: { position: "absolute", inset: 0, width: 280 },
+});
+
+function Sidebar() {
+  const { theme } = useUnistyles();
+  return (
+    <Animated.View
+      style={[positionStyles.sidebar, animatedStyle, { backgroundColor: theme.colors.surface1 }]}
+    />
+  );
+}
+```
+
+This is one of the rare places `useUnistyles()` is the right tool: there is no `withUnistyles(Animated.View)` equivalent, the affected component is small, and the alternative is a crash.
