fix(app): set aria-checked directly on Switch so toBeChecked() assertions work

RNW's createDOMProps maps direct aria-* props to the DOM but does not read from accessibilityState.checked. The Switch was relying on the latter, so no aria-checked attribute was ever rendered — making the component opaque to screen readers and breaking Playwright's toBeChecked() assertions in E2E tests. Passing aria-checked={value} alongside the existing accessibilityState fixes both.

 # Changelog

+## 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.

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

-## Notes
-
- The current image path can remain in place initially.
- The plan intentionally keeps checkout concerns separate from provider prompt translation.
- Future forge support should add new attachment discriminators rather than expanding GitHub-only nested fields.

+
+- 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(...)`.

+// 3. Keep the shared producer schema strict

-# 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`

 ## Staged rollout (stable channel)

-Stable desktop releases go out via a linear time-based rollout: 0% admitted at publish, 100% admitted 24 hours later, linear ramp in between. Beta releases bypass the rollout entirely — beta users always receive updates immediately.
+Stable desktop releases go out via a linear time-based rollout: 0% admitted when the updater manifests appear, 100% admitted 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.

 `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.

-For low-risk changes (doc-only, dependency bumps with no behavior change), trigger `desktop-release.yml` manually with a shorter rollout window so the build itself stamps a smaller `rolloutHours`:
+`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:

 - **Never mention component names, internal modules, or implementation details.** No `WorkingIndicator`, no `accumulatedUsage`, no `reconcileAndEmitWorkspaceUpdates`.
 - **Collapse internal iterations.** If a feature was added and then fixed within the same release, just list the feature as working. Users never saw the broken version.
 - **Only list changes relative to the previous stable release.** The diff is `v(previous)..HEAD`. If something was introduced and fixed between those two tags, it never shipped — don't mention the fix.
+  - **Common trap:** when drafting from `git log`, every commit looks like a separate bullet — including the "fix X" commits that landed on top of a brand-new feature in the same release window. Before listing a Fixed entry, check whether the thing being fixed was itself added in this same release. If so, drop the fix and fold it into the feature bullet.
+  - **Example:** if the release adds an in-app browser and also contains a commit "fix: browser pane keyboard handling no longer steals shortcuts", do **not** list the keyboard fix under Fixed.

 - **One bullet = one user-facing change**, regardless of how many PRs went into it. Group related PRs on the same bullet.
 - **De-duplicate contributors.** If the same person authored multiple PRs in one bullet, list them once.
 - **Only credit external contributors.** Skip attribution for [@boudra](https://github.com/boudra). The changelog credits community contributions — core team work is the default.
- **Use `git log` to find PR numbers and authors.** PR numbers are typically in the commit message as `(#N)`. Use `gh pr view N --json author` if the commit doesn't include the GitHub username.
+- **Credit the commit author, not the PR opener.** A maintainer often opens a PR that lands work authored by someone else (cherry-pick, rebase of a contributor's branch, manual extraction from a stacked PR). The squash commit preserves the original commit's author, but `gh pr view N --json author` returns the PR opener — using that field will silently mis-credit the work to the maintainer (and then the "skip @boudra" rule drops the attribution entirely). Always resolve attribution from commit authors.

+
+  ```bash
