+        - **Electron log (Linux):** `~/.config/Paseo/logs/main.log`
+
+        Paste the **full log around the time of the bug**, not a summary. If you used an AI to investigate, paste the raw log it read, not the AI's interpretation. AI summaries skew the signal and waste my 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.

+
+- [ ] Bug fix
+- [ ] New feature (with prior issue + design alignment)
+- [ ] Refactor / code improvement
+- [ ] Docs
+
+### What does this PR do

+### 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.

+- [ ] 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

+
+## 0.1.76 - 2026-05-15
+
+### Added
+
+- **Chat timestamps and turn durations.** Every message shows when it was sent, and each turn surfaces how long the agent took.
+- **Auto Review permission mode for Claude Code and Codex.** Agents stop after each assistant turn for review instead of running unattended. ([#928](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/928), [#963](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/963) by [@bolasblack](https://github.com/bolasblack))

+- Diagnostics for generic ACP providers surface in the model picker.
+- Allow setting fast mode for Paseo subagents ([#909](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/909), [#910](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/910) by [@kongjiadongyuan](https://github.com/kongjiadongyuan))
+
+### Improved
+
+- Surface Claude error messages in chat instead of ending the turn silently.
+- Workspace checkout picker auto-selects when a single PR is attached.
+- New workspace flow honors the currently checked-out branch when branching off. ([#909](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/908) by [@sbtobb](https://github.com/sbtobb))
+- OpenCode models from console subscription providers now appear in the model picker. ([#917](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/917) by [@t2o2](https://github.com/t2o2))
+- Cursor model picker reflects the models advertised by the Cursor ACP client. ([#958](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/958) by [@chrisbanes](https://github.com/chrisbanes))
+
+### Fixed
+
+- iPad hardware Enter submits the composer. ([#919](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/919) by [@kongjiadongyuan](https://github.com/kongjiadongyuan))
+- PR status falls back to a non-checks query for fine-grained GitHub tokens. ([#932](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/932) by [@32r4](https://github.com/32r4))

+- Default thinking option matches the selected model's capabilities.
+- Shift+Enter works again in terminal input modes.
+- Duplicate project entries no longer appear after reopening a project.
+- Pi-backed sessions recover after a Copilot 413 instead of staying stuck.
+- Skip probing unrelated executable candidates when launching agents.
+- Relay E2EE reconnects cleanly under racing connect/disconnect.
+- Workspace kind stays in sync with project kind after reconfiguration.
+- zsh integration files install with usable runtime modes.
+- MCP worktree cache refreshes after create and archive. ([#911](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/911) by [@kongjiadongyuan](https://github.com/kongjiadongyuan))
+
+## 0.1.75 - 2026-05-12
+
+### Added
+
+- Set the speech-to-text language used by dictation and voice mode from settings. ([#941](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/941))
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Codex resume failures now surface as explicit errors instead of leaving the agent silently stuck. ([#947](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/947))
+- Custom providers extending Codex now route correctly when they set a custom `OPENAI_BASE_URL`. ([#915](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/915))
+- Fixed Copilot's **Allow All** mode (renamed from Autopilot) ([#935](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/935))
+- Desktop: daemon startup no longer fails when a stale PID file is left next to a still-running daemon. ([#913](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/913) by [@biaoma-ty](https://github.com/biaoma-ty))
+- iPhone HEIC photos now attach correctly from the image picker ([#934](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/934))
+- Scheduled agents now archive automatically after each run ([#945](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/945))
+- Windows: Codex command summaries trim `pwsh`, `powershell`, or `cmd` wrappers. ([#931](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/931) by [@32r4](https://github.com/32r4))
+- iPad: settings sidebar and main sidebar respect the top safe area in wide layouts. ([#922](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/922), [#937](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/937) by [@kongjiadongyuan](https://github.com/kongjiadongyuan))
+
+## 0.1.74 - 2026-05-11
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **OpenCode agent turns no longer stall.** Paseo now follows OpenCode's global event stream, so turns stream reliably without falling back to fragile recovery paths. ([#916](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/916))
+
+## 0.1.73 - 2026-05-10
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **OpenCode agents work again on OpenCode 1.14.42+.** ([#895](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/895), [#902](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/902), [#904](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/904) by [@atomlink-ye](https://github.com/atomlink-ye), [@plutofog](https://github.com/plutofog))
+- Web: opening a workspace no longer hangs in browsers without `crypto.randomUUID`. ([#858](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/858) by [@cokekitten](https://github.com/cokekitten))
+- Codex sub-agent child tool calls now report a final failure state instead of staying as "running". ([#899](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/899))
+- Old relay pairing URLs without an explicit TLS flag work again. ([#896](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/896))
+- macOS: the tab-jump shortcut no longer collides with system shortcuts. ([#859](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/859) by [@nikuscs](https://github.com/nikuscs))
+- Web: the composer no longer triggers a bottom-sheet keyboard on desktop browsers. ([#898](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/898) by [@nikuscs](https://github.com/nikuscs))
+- Windows: git operations no longer flash a console window on each invocation. ([#897](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/897))
+- File explorer no longer follows symlinks outside the workspace root. ([#847](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/847) by [@joaosa](https://github.com/joaosa))
+- Desktop only opens external URLs via http(s) and mailto schemes. ([#845](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/845) by [@joaosa](https://github.com/joaosa))
+- MCP debug request logs now redact request bodies. ([#842](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/842) by [@joaosa](https://github.com/joaosa))
+
+## 0.1.72 - 2026-05-10
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Codex approval prompts no longer hang.** Fixes a regression introduced in 0.1.70 where Codex agents would wait forever on command and file approvals — the prompt never reached the app and the agent stayed stuck in "running". ([#866](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/866), [#869](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/869))
+- **Windows: daemon no longer crashes when Codex emits non-JSON output.** Localized stdout lines from the Codex CLI are now ignored instead of taking down the daemon worker. ([#866](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/866))
+- Drag-and-drop images onto the new workspace screen now works. ([#850](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/850))
+- Archiving a worktree from the toolbar redirects you immediately instead of leaving you on the dead screen for a beat. ([#852](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/852))
+- Pi-backed sessions now shut down cleanly when you close them, releasing extension resources on the Pi side. ([#863](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/863))
+
+## 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.
+- macOS desktop tab-jump shortcuts now use Cmd+Option+1-9, avoiding conflicts with Option-based international keyboard characters such as `@`.
+
+### 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.

+`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.

   - 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 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.
 - **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`
-- **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?"
+- **The protocol stays backward-compatible. Features don't have to.** Two separate contracts:
+  - **Protocol contract (always):** schema changes must not break parsing in either direction. An old client must still parse messages from a new daemon; a new daemon must still parse messages from an old client.
+    - New fields: `.optional()` with a sensible default or `.transform()` fallback.
+    - Never flip optional → required, remove fields, or narrow types (`string` → `enum`, `nullable` → non-null).
+    - Removed fields stay accepted (we stop sending them, not stop reading them).
+    - Test with: "does a 6-month-old client still parse this?" and "does a 6-month-old daemon still send something this client accepts?"
+  - **Feature contract (per-feature):** a new feature may require a new daemon capability. The client detects whether the capability is present and either runs the feature or shows "Update the host to use this." That's it.
+    - **No fallback paths.** Don't write a degraded version of a new feature that runs on old daemons. Don't fan out across legacy RPCs to simulate a missing capability. The user upgrades or doesn't get the feature.
+    - **No defensive branches scattered through the feature.** Capability detection happens in one place; downstream code reads a clean shape.
+    - **Capability flags live in `server_info.features.*`** with a single `// COMPAT(featureName): added in v0.1.X, drop the gate when floor >= v0.1.X` comment marking the cleanup site.
+    - Existing functionality keeps working across versions — that's the protocol contract doing its job. New-feature degradation is not the goal.
+    - **New RPCs use dotted namespaces with direction suffixes.** Follow [docs/rpc-namespacing.md](docs/rpc-namespacing.md): `domain.provider.operation.request` pairs with `domain.provider.operation.response`. Existing flat RPC names will migrate over time; don't add new ones.
+
+- **All back-compat shims are tagged and dated for cleanup.** Every shim that exists for old-client/old-daemon support carries a `COMPAT(name)` comment with the version it was added in and a target removal date (typically 6 months out). One grep — `rg "COMPAT\("` — should produce the full list of cleanup work. Don't bury back-compat in untagged `??`-fallbacks or optional-chain tunnels — that's how it stops being deletable.

+- **Use `.electron.ts` / `.electron.tsx` for Electron-only web modules.** Electron is still the Metro `web` platform, but desktop dev/build sets `PASEO_WEB_PLATFORM=electron`, so Metro first looks for `.electron.*` files and falls back to normal `.web.*` files.

 - **NEVER use `onPointerEnter`/`onPointerLeave`.** They don't fire on native iOS.
 - **Hover only works on web.** React Native's `onHoverIn`/`onHoverOut` on `Pressable` does NOT fire on native iOS/iPad — the underlying W3C pointer events are behind disabled experimental flags. For hover-to-show UI (kebab menus, action buttons), use `isHovered || isNative || isCompact` so the controls are always visible on native and hover-to-show on web.

 # Contributing to Paseo
 
-Thanks for taking the time to contribute.
+Paseo is an opinionated product maintained by one person.
 
-## How this project works
+I read every issue and PR myself, and I am selective about what contributions I accept.
 
-Paseo is a BDFL project. Product direction, scope, and what ships are the maintainer's call.
+Good ideas still need to fit the shape of the product: a PR can be technically correct and still not belong in Paseo.
 
-This means:
+Core product, design, architecture, and workflow changes are not accepted.
 
-- 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.
+Follow these rules if you want your PR to be merged:
 
-This is not meant to discourage contributions. It is meant to set clear expectations so nobody wastes their time.
+- Keep it to one focused change
+- Link to an issue
+- Explain the problem you're solving
+- Include repro steps if it's a bug
+- Include QA/testing evidence
+- UI changes need screenshots or video for every affected platform: iOS, Android, desktop, and web

-
-## What is most helpful
-
-The most useful contributions right now are:
-
-- bug fixes
-- windows and linux specific fixes
-- regression fixes
-- doc improvements
-- packaging / platform fixes
-- focused UX improvements that fit the existing product direction
-- tests that lock down important behavior
-
-## Scope expectations
-
-Please keep PRs narrow.
-
-Good:
-
-- fix one bug
-- improve one flow
-- add one focused panel or command
-- tighten one piece of UI
-
-Bad:
-
-- combine multiple product ideas in one PR
-- bundle unrelated refactors with a feature
-- sneak in roadmap decisions
-
-If a contribution contains multiple ideas, split it up.
-
-## Product fit matters
-
-Paseo is an opinionated product.
-
-When reviewing contributions, the bar is not just:
-
-- is this useful?
-- is this well implemented?
-
-It is also:
-
-- does this fit Paseo?
-- does this add product surface that will be hard to maintain?
-- does the value justify the maintenance surface it adds?
-- does this solve a common need or over-serve an edge case?
-- does this preserve the product's current direction?
-
-## Development setup
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- Node.js matching `.tool-versions`
-- npm workspaces
-
-### Start local development
-
-```bash
-# runs both daemon and expo app
-npm run dev
-```
-
-Useful commands:
-
-```bash
-npm run dev:server
-npm run dev:app
-npm run dev:desktop
-npm run dev:website
-npm run cli -- ls -a -g
-```
-
-Read [docs/DEVELOPMENT.md](docs/DEVELOPMENT.md) for build-sync gotchas, local state, ports, and daemon details.
-
-## Multi-platform testing
-
-Paseo ships to mobile (iOS/Android), web, and desktop (Electron). Every UI change must be tested on mobile and web at minimum, and desktop if relevant. Things that look fine on one surface regularly break on another.
-
-Common checks:
-
-```bash
-npm run typecheck
-npm run test --workspaces --if-present
-```
-
-Important rules:
-
-- always run `npm run typecheck` after changes
-- tests should be deterministic
-- prefer real dependencies over mocks when possible
-- do not make breaking WebSocket / protocol changes
-- app and daemon versions in the wild lag each other, so compatibility matters
-
-If you touch protocol or shared client/server behavior, read the compatibility notes in [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md).
-
-## Coding standards
-
-Paseo has explicit standards. Follow them.
-
-The full guide lives in [docs/CODING_STANDARDS.md](docs/CODING_STANDARDS.md).
-
-## PR checklist
-
-Before opening a PR, make sure:
-
-- there was prior discussion and alignment on scope (issue or conversation)
-- the change is focused, one idea per PR
-- the PR description explains what changed and why
-- **UI changes include screenshots or videos** for every affected platform (mobile, web, desktop)
-- UI changes have been tested on mobile and web at minimum
-- typecheck passes
-- tests pass, or you clearly explain what could not be run
-- relevant docs were updated if needed
-
-## Communication
-
-If you are unsure whether something fits, ask first.
-
-That is especially true for:
-
-- new core UX
-- naming / terminology changes
-- new extension points
-- new orchestration models
-- anything that would be hard to remove later
-
-Early alignment saves everyone time.
-
-## Forks are fine
-
-If you want to explore a different product direction, a fork is completely fine.
-
-Paseo is open source on purpose. Not every idea needs to land in the main repo to be valuable.
+AI in the loop is fine. The bar is whether _you_ tested the change and can explain why it works. A confident wall of AI prose with no evidence of testing is a red flag and will get closed.

 ### 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                                                                |

-| `session.ts`              | Per-client session state, timeline subscriptions, terminal operations         |
-| `agent/agent-manager.ts`  | Agent lifecycle state machine, timeline tracking, subscriber management       |

-| `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

-# 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.

-# Coding Standards
-
-These standards apply to all code changes: features, bug fixes, refactors, and performance work.
-
-## Core principles
-
-- **Zero complexity budget** — justify every abstraction with specific benefits
-- **Fully typed TypeScript** — no `any`, no untyped boundaries
-- **YAGNI** — build features and abstractions only when needed
-- **Functional and declarative** over object-oriented
-- **`interface`** over `type` when possible
-- **`function` declarations** over arrow function assignments
-- **Single-purpose functions** — one function, one job
-- **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

-# 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

-# Development
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Node.js (see `.tool-versions` for exact version)
-- npm workspaces (comes with Node)
-
-## Running the dev server
-
-```bash
-npm run dev
-```
-
-The dev script automatically picks an available port. Both the server and Expo app run in a Tmux session — see `CLAUDE.local.md` for system-specific session details.
-
-### Running alongside the main checkout
-
-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 `$PASEO_HOME/daemon.log` for trace-level logs.
-
-### Database queries
-
-Run arbitrary SQL against the SQLite database:
-
-```bash
-# Show table row counts
-npm run db:query
-
-# Run any SQL
-npm run db:query -- "SELECT agent_id, title, last_status FROM agent_snapshots"
-npm run db:query -- "SELECT agent_id, seq, item_kind FROM agent_timeline_rows ORDER BY committed_at DESC LIMIT 10"
-
-# Point at a specific DB directory
-npm run db:query -- --db /path/to/db "SELECT ..."
-```
-
-Auto-detects the running dev daemon's database from `/tmp/paseo-dev.*`, `PASEO_HOME`, or `~/.paseo/db`.
-Pass either a DB directory or a `paseo.sqlite` file to `--db`. The script opens the database directly in read-only mode.
-
-## paseo.json service scripts
-
-`worktree.setup` and `worktree.teardown` accept either a multiline shell script or an array
-of commands. Both run sequentially.
-
-```json
-{
-  "worktree": {
-    "setup": "npm ci\ncp \"$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. |
-| `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
-```

-Authoritative terminology. UI label wins. Don't invent synonyms; use what's here.
-
-- **Project** — Logical grouping of workspaces sharing a git remote (or main repo root). UI: "Project" / "Add a project". Code: `ProjectSummary` (`packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:17`), `projectKey` (`packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:88`). 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:2128`). 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:9`).
-- **Agent** — One AI coding agent run on a daemon (one provider, one model, one cwd, one timeline). UI: "Agent" / "New Agent". Code: `AgentSnapshotPayload` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:597`). Forbidden: "Task", "Job", "Run".
-- **Daemon** — Local Paseo server process; identified by `serverId`. UI: "Daemon" (system contexts only). Code: `serverId` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:1886`), `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:36`). Forbidden: "Connection" (means `HostConnection`, not host).
-- **Placement** — One workspace's relationship to its project (projectKey, projectName, git checkout snapshot). Internal. Code: `ProjectPlacementPayload` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:2063`).
-- **Branch** — Plain git branch. UI: "Switch branch". Code: `currentBranch` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:2027`); `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:2042`); CLI `paseo worktree` (`packages/cli/src/commands/worktree/index.ts:8`). Forbidden: "Checkout" as a synonym.
-- **Repository / Remote** — Internal git inputs (`remoteUrl`, `mainRepoRoot`) used to derive `projectKey`. No UI label.
-- **Session** — Per-client connection to a daemon. Internal. Code: `Session` (`packages/server/src/server/session.ts`). Don't confuse with: provider-side agent session log.
-- **Profile** — Internal name for the persisted shape of a host. Code: `HostProfile` (`packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:36`). Never user-facing.
-- **Provider** — Agent backend (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode). UI: "Provider". Code: `ProviderSnapshotEntry` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:193`).
-- **Model** — A specific LLM offered by a provider. UI: "Model" / "Select model". Code: `AgentModelDefinition` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:182`).
-- **Terminal** — Workspace-scoped PTY shell streamed over the binary mux channel. UI: "Terminal". Code: `TerminalStreamFrame` (`packages/server/src/shared/terminal-stream-protocol.ts`).
-- **Schedule** — Cron-style trigger that creates remote agents. UI: CLI only (`paseo schedule`). Code: `ScheduleCreateRequest` (re-exported from `packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts`). Don't confuse with: Loop (iterative re-execution of one agent).
-- **Mode** — Provider-specific operational mode (plan, default, full-access, …). UI: icon-only. Code: `modeId` in `AgentSessionConfig` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:249`).
-- **Attachment** — GitHub PR or Issue bound to an agent prompt. UI: "Attach issue or PR". Code: `AgentAttachment` (`packages/server/src/shared/messages.ts:736`).
-- **Conflict** — Two distinct senses; do NOT use the bare word in UI copy without qualifying which: (a) **stale-write conflict** on `paseo.json` ("Config changed on disk", code `stale_project_config`, `packages/app/src/screens/project-settings-screen.tsx:576`); (b) **git merge conflict** (no current UI string).
-
-## Open question — per-host project entry (TBD)
-
-A project aggregates workspaces across daemons. The projects screen and project-settings screen need a name for "one row in the project list per (project, daemon)". `ProjectPlacementPayload` is **per-workspace**, so it isn't this thing — but the noun "placement" could naturally extend (`ProjectDaemonPlacement`, or just "placements grouped by daemon"). The in-progress `ProjectCheckout` type (`packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:4`) is also per-workspace today, even though the settings UI selector treats it per-daemon (matched on `serverId` alone) — so the code is currently inconsistent with itself.
-
-Candidates: (1) extend "placement" to the (project, daemon) bundle, (2) drop the wrapper type and use `{ host, project, workspaces[] }` plus descriptive UI copy ("project · host X · 2 online"). Recommendation: option (2) — no new noun, use existing terms compositionally. Do not introduce "Checkout" / `ProjectCheckout` as the canonical name.
-
-## Rename before landing (in-progress `Checkout*` references)
-
-- `packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:4,20,22,23,46,85,104,120,124,126,146,148,155` — `ProjectCheckout`, `checkouts`, `checkoutCount`, `onlineCheckoutCount`, `buildCheckoutTarget`, `compareCheckouts`.

-- In-progress `ProjectCheckout` (`packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:4`) is per-workspace, but `project-settings-screen.tsx` selects by `serverId` alone — same daemon with multiple workspaces will produce duplicate React keys in the selector.

+# 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.
+
+## Storage
+
+```

+
+## 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).
+
+New session RPCs use dotted names with `.request` and `.response` suffixes, such as `checkout.github.set_auto_merge.request` and `checkout.github.set_auto_merge.response`. See [rpc-namespacing.md](rpc-namespacing.md) for the convention and migration rules for older flat RPC names.
+
+**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
+- Timeline row `timestamp` values are canonical daemon-owned timestamps. Providers may supply original replay timestamps, but clients must not guess timestamp trust or hide time UI based on local clock heuristics.
+- 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                                     |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |

+
+- 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

+# 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_.

+# 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 `$TMPDIR` and removes it on exit. Set `PASEO_HOME` explicitly to keep state across runs.
+
+Override knobs:
+
+```bash
+PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo-blue npm run dev          # explicit home
+PASEO_DEV_SEED_HOME=/path/to/home npm run dev # seed from a different source home
+PASEO_DEV_RESET_HOME=1 npm run dev            # clear and reseed the derived worktree home
+```
+
+### Daemon endpoints
+
+- Stable daemon launched by the desktop app: `localhost:6767`.
+- `npm run dev` (macOS/Linux): portless URLs only — read them from the `dev.sh` banner or `portless get daemon` / `portless get app`.
+- `npm run dev` (Windows): `localhost:6767` for the daemon.
+
+In any worktree-style or portless setup, never assume default ports.
+
+### Desktop renderer profiling
+
+`npm run dev:desktop` starts Electron with Chromium remote debugging enabled on
+`http://127.0.0.1:9223` so renderer CPU profiles can be captured through CDP.
+Override the port with `PASEO_ELECTRON_REMOTE_DEBUGGING_PORT` when `9223` is busy.
+
+### Daemon logs
+
+Check `$PASEO_HOME/daemon.log` for daemon logs. The default level is `info`; set
+`PASEO_LOG_LEVEL=trace` before launching the daemon when you need full provider,
+session, and agent-manager traces for stuck-state debugging.
+
+The supervisor rotates `daemon.log`. Persisted `log.file.rotate` settings in
+`$PASEO_HOME/config.json` win first. Without persisted config, the optional
+`PASEO_LOG_ROTATE_SIZE` and `PASEO_LOG_ROTATE_COUNT` env vars override the
+defaults. The default rotation is `10m` x `3` files everywhere.
+
+## paseo.json service scripts
+
+`worktree.setup` and `worktree.teardown` accept either a multiline shell script or an array
+of commands. Both run sequentially.
+
+```json
+{
+  "worktree": {
+    "setup": "npm ci\ncp \"$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. |
+| `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
+
+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

+# Hover
+
+Read this before writing any hover code. Every hover regression we ship is one of the three failure modes below, and every one of them is solved by the same canonical pattern. The pattern is hardwon — it survived every other shape we tried — so copy it, don't reinvent it.
+
+## The pattern
+
+The canonical implementation lives in `packages/app/src/components/sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`, in the workspace row (around line 1369). When in doubt, open that file and copy the shape.
+
+```tsx
+//
+//   ┌─ Plain View. Tracks hover via pointerenter/pointerleave.
+//   │
+<View
+  style={styles.workspaceRowContainer}
+  onPointerEnter={handlePointerEnter}
+  onPointerLeave={handlePointerLeave}
+>
+  <Pressable                          // ┐ Separate inner Pressable.
+    onPress={handlePress}             // │ Handles press only.
+    onPressIn={...}                   // │ Never has onHoverIn/onHoverOut.
+    onPressOut={...}                  // ┘
+    style={workspaceRowStyle}
+  >
+    <View style={styles.workspaceRowMain}>
+      <View style={styles.workspaceRowLeft}>…</View>
+      <WorkspaceRowRightGroup isHovered={isHovered} />
+      {/*                    └─ Reveals content based on hover state. */}
+    </View>
+  </Pressable>
+</View>
+```
+
+Five things make this work. Every one of them matters.
+
+1. **Hover lives on a plain `View`, not a `Pressable`.** `Pressable` carries its own internal hover state machine. Nested `Pressable`s fight over it. A plain `View` just dispatches DOM events — no state machine, no fighting.
+2. **Press lives on a _separate_ inner `Pressable`.** Hover and press never share an element. The two state machines never see each other.
+3. **`onPointerEnter` / `onPointerLeave` are non-bubbling**, mouseenter-style by W3C spec. They fire only when crossing the outer `View`'s bounding box. Crossing into descendants — including descendant `Pressable`s (the kebab menu's buttons, a copy button, a tooltip target) — does **not** fire `pointerleave`. This is why nesting `Pressable`s inside is safe.
+4. **The row has a fixed `minHeight`.** When content swaps in on hover (kebab replacing a diff stat), both occupy the same fixed slot. Zero layout shift, zero geometry flicker.
+5. **The outer `View` has nothing but `position: relative`.** It exists only to be the hover target. All real layout lives on the inner `Pressable`. The hover-tracker is a sealed envelope around the row; layout changes inside it never leak out and re-enter through the side.
+
+That's the whole pattern. Internalize it.
+
+## When you skip the pattern, here is what breaks
+
+### Failure mode 1 — Nested Pressables fight over hover state
+
+If you put `onHoverIn` / `onHoverOut` on a `Pressable` that has another `Pressable` anywhere inside it (a copy button, an icon button, a nested action), the moment the cursor moves onto the inner `Pressable`, the inner one's hover state machine claims hover and the outer one's `onHoverOut` fires. Your reveal state flips off. The reveal hides. The cursor is no longer over the hidden reveal, so it ends up back over the trigger area. The outer's `onHoverIn` fires. Loop.
+
+This is the most common hover bug shipped in this codebase, by a wide margin. It is what the workspace row is structured to avoid. The fix is not "be clever about handlers" — it's "don't put hover on a Pressable that contains other Pressables."
+
+> **Rule:** the hover-tracking element is a plain `View` with `onPointerEnter` / `onPointerLeave`. Any `Pressable`s — including ones you forgot are Pressables, like `TurnCopyButton`, icon buttons, anything that handles a tap — live inside it.
+
+### Failure mode 2 — The hovered state changes the trigger's geometry
+
+Symptom: you hover a button, it changes appearance, then flickers between hovered and not-hovered without the cursor moving.
+
+Cause: the hover state changed the size or position of the trigger. The cursor was on the original element; the new layout shifts or shrinks it out from under the cursor; `onHoverOut` fires; state reverts; original layout returns; cursor is back over the trigger; `onHoverIn` fires; loop.
+
+Common variants:
+
+- Hover state changes the trigger's `width`, `height`, `padding`, or `borderWidth`.
+- Hover state mounts/unmounts a child that pushes the trigger to a new position.
+- Hover state swaps the trigger for a different element type, remounting it.
+
+Fixes, in preferred order:
+
+1. **Don't change the trigger's outer geometry on hover.** Change colors, opacity, borders that don't take layout space (`outlineWidth` on web, absolutely positioned overlays), or child content that fits inside the same fixed box. Never change `width`, `height`, `padding`, or `borderWidth` of the hover target itself.
+2. **Hide with `opacity` + `pointerEvents`, not conditional rendering**, when the hidden element lives inside the trigger. Mounting/unmounting on hover reflows the layout under the cursor.
+3. **Pin the hit area.** Set a fixed `minHeight` / `minWidth` on the trigger so internal swaps (icon-A becomes icon-B on hover) leave the bounding box unchanged. The workspace row's `minHeight: 36` is what makes the kebab/diff-stat swap stable.
+
+### Failure mode 3 — Revealed content lives outside the hover trigger
+
+If hovering element A reveals element B, B must be **inside** A's hover trigger. If B is a sibling, the moment the cursor moves from A toward B it crosses out of A's bounding box, `pointerleave` fires, B disappears.
+
+Wrong:
+
+```tsx
+<View>
+  <View onPointerEnter={...} onPointerLeave={...}>     {/* hover trigger */}
+    <Bubble />
+  </View>
+  <TrailingRow />                                       {/* OUTSIDE — sibling, not child */}
+</View>
+```
+
+Right:
+
+```tsx
+<View onPointerEnter={...} onPointerLeave={...}>      {/* hover trigger */}
+  <Bubble />
+  <TrailingRow />                                      {/* INSIDE — child */}
+</View>
+```
+
+Any gap between A and B (margins between siblings inside the same parent) is part of the parent's bounding box, so the cursor stays inside the hover region while crossing it. No bridge needed.
+
+If A and B genuinely can't share a parent — B portals into a different layer, floats above other content — see [Section: real gaps](#real-gaps-with-floating-panels) below.
+
+## Native fallback
+
+Hover doesn't exist on touch devices. Anything you hide behind hover must have a non-hover path on native and compact layouts:
+
+```tsx
+const showControls = isHovered || isNative || isCompact;
+```
+
+`isNative` and `isCompact` come from `@/constants/platform` and `@/constants/layout`. Don't use `Platform.OS === "ios"` as a proxy.
+
+`onPointerEnter` / `onPointerLeave` are DOM events. They do not fire on native. You do not need to gate them — on native, hover is unreachable anyway and visibility is driven by `isNative` / `isCompact` in your show-the-controls expression above. This is why the workspace row's pointer events are not wrapped in `if (isWeb)`.
+
+## What about `Pressable.onHoverIn` / `onHoverOut`?
+
+It's fine when a `Pressable` styles **itself** based on its own hover — for example, an icon button that changes color on hover. That's self-contained. The render-prop `<Pressable style={({ hovered }) => ...}>` does the same thing more cleanly and is the preferred form.
+
+It is **not** fine for tracking hover to drive state **outside** that `Pressable` (revealing a sibling, opening a tooltip, showing a kebab) when there is any other `Pressable` inside — because that's Failure Mode 1.
+
+Heuristic: if your hover state is going to be `useState`'d and read by anything other than the same `Pressable`'s own style, do not use `onHoverIn` / `onHoverOut`. Use the canonical pattern.
+
+## Real gaps with floating panels
+
+Sometimes the revealed content can't live inside the trigger — a hover card portals into a different layer, a tooltip floats above other content, a popover renders into a `Portal`. There's a real visual gap the user has to cross with the cursor.
+
+For this case, use `useHoverSafeZone` (`packages/app/src/hooks/use-hover-safe-zone.ts`). It computes a rectangular "bridge" between the trigger and the content; while the pointer is inside trigger, content, or the bridge, the card stays open. A short grace timer absorbs jitter at the edges. The canonical caller is `packages/app/src/components/workspace-hover-card.tsx`.
+
+Don't roll your own. The math is annoying, the edge cases (pointer leaves window, drag in progress, content unmounts) are subtle, and we already paid for the hook.
+
+## Pre-PR checklist
+
+Before opening a PR that touches hover:
+
+- [ ] Hover-tracking is on a plain `View` with `onPointerEnter` / `onPointerLeave`, **not** on a `Pressable` that wraps anything pressable.
+- [ ] Any press behavior lives on a separate inner `Pressable` that does not have `onHoverIn` / `onHoverOut`.
+- [ ] The hover trigger's bounding box contains every element the user might mouse into while interacting with the feature.
+- [ ] Hovered state does **not** change the trigger's outer geometry (`width`, `height`, `padding`, `borderWidth`, mount/unmount of siblings that shift it). Internal swaps fit inside a fixed `minHeight` / `minWidth`.
+- [ ] Revealed content inside the trigger uses `opacity` + `pointerEvents`, not conditional rendering, if mounting it would reflow the trigger.
+- [ ] Visibility on native and compact layouts works without hover (`isHovered || isNative || isCompact`).
+- [ ] If the revealed content sits in a separate layer (portal, floating panel), `useHoverSafeZone` is wired up.
+- [ ] You opened the dev server, hovered the trigger, and slowly moved the mouse along **every** revealed element — including any visible gaps — without losing hover state.

+# OpenCode Global Event Verification
+
+Date: 2026-05-11
+
+## Objective
+
+Replace the OpenCode provider's per-directory `/event` stream with OpenCode's `/global/event` stream and remove the EOF polling recovery path that was added for the `/event` regression.
+
+## Environment
+
+- `opencode --version`: `1.14.46`
+- `which opencode`: `/Users/moboudra/.asdf/installs/nodejs/22.20.0/bin/opencode`
+- `node --version`: `v22.20.0`

+Each OpenCode test file was run independently with:
+
+```bash
+/opt/homebrew/bin/timeout 420s npx vitest run <file> --maxWorkers=1 --minWorkers=1
+```
+
+## Baseline
+
+Before the provider change, the OpenCode matrix had 16 passing files and 4 failing files:
+
+- `packages/cli/tests/e2e/opencode-invalid-model.test.ts`: Vitest reports "No test suite found in file".
+- `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/opencode-agent.test.ts`: `plan mode blocks edits while build mode can write files` did not observe a completed tool call.
+- `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/opencode-initial-prompt-wait.real.e2e.test.ts`: brittle unavailable-model assertion received an auth failure from the upstream API.
+- `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/opencode-send-interrupt.real.e2e.test.ts`: timed out waiting for an interrupted sleep tool call, even though the recent bash tool call status was `failed`.
+
+## Post-Change Result
+
+After switching to `/global/event`, removing polling recovery, and replacing the brittle initial-prompt model case with `opencode/big-pickle`, the OpenCode matrix had 18 passing files and 2 baseline-equivalent failing files:
+
+- `packages/cli/tests/e2e/opencode-invalid-model.test.ts`: unchanged; Vitest still reports "No test suite found in file".
+- `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/opencode-send-interrupt.real.e2e.test.ts`: unchanged; still times out after the interrupted sleep tool call is already marked `failed`.
+
+The previously failing provider unit file now passes, and `packages/server/src/server/daemon-e2e/opencode-initial-prompt-wait.real.e2e.test.ts` passes with `opencode/big-pickle`.
+
+One live reasoning-dedup matrix run returned no reasoning content; an immediate targeted rerun passed. This appears model-output dependent rather than related to the event-stream change.

-# 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`

+The daemon keeps one global provider snapshot, keyed to the home directory, for settings, selectors, and old model/mode list requests. Snapshot reads may probe providers only while the snapshot is cold. Once an entry is warm, its `ready`, `error`, or `unavailable` state stays cached until the user forces a refresh from settings/provider management.
+
+Do not add TTL revalidation, focus-triggered refreshes, selector-open refreshes, or config-reload refreshes. Registry/config replacement may update visible metadata such as label, description, default mode, enabled state, and provider membership, but it must not spawn provider processes. If a provider needs to be re-probed after a config change, route that through the explicit settings refresh path.
+
+Boundary tests should assert observable behavior: cold reads may call provider availability/model/mode discovery; warm reads and registry replacement must not; explicit full or targeted refreshes must.

 ## Staged rollout (stable channel)

+Stable desktop releases go out via a linear time-based rollout: 0% admitted when the updater manifests appear, 100% admitted 36 hours later, linear ramp in between. Beta releases bypass the rollout entirely — beta users always receive updates immediately.
 
 The rollout is driven by a `rolloutHours` field stamped into the GitHub Release manifests (`latest-mac.yml`, `latest-linux.yml`, `latest.yml`) by the `finalize-rollout` job in `desktop-release.yml`.
 
+Desktop release builds now publish in two phases:
+
+- 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.
+`npm run release:patch` → tag push → 36h 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 36. 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 36h 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=36`, 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.

+# RPC Namespacing
+
+New WebSocket session RPCs use dotted names with the direction as the final segment:
+
+```ts
+checkout.github.set_auto_merge.request;
+checkout.github.set_auto_merge.response;
+```
+
+The namespace reads left to right:
+
+- Domain: `checkout`
+- Provider or subsystem: `github`
+- Operation: `set_auto_merge`
+- Direction: `request` or `response`
+
+Use dots, not slashes. Dots are protocol namespaces; slashes imply paths or transport routing.
+
+## Request/Response Pairs
+
+For ordinary correlated RPCs, a `.request` has a matching `.response` with the same prefix. The daemon client may derive the response type mechanically:
+
+```ts
+checkout.github.set_auto_merge.request;
+// -> checkout.github.set_auto_merge.response
+```
+
+Most new RPCs should follow this shape. If a request does not have a one-to-one response, call that out in the code near the schema.
+
+## Message Shape
+
+Requests keep their parameters at the top level:
+
+```ts
+{
+  type: "checkout.github.set_auto_merge.request",
+  cwd: "/repo",
+  enabled: true,
+  mergeMethod: "squash",
+  requestId: "req_123"
+}
+```
+
+Responses put correlated result data under `payload`:
+
+```ts
+{
+  type: "checkout.github.set_auto_merge.response",
+  payload: {
+    cwd: "/repo",
+    enabled: true,
+    success: true,
+    error: null,
+    requestId: "req_123"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Keep `requestId` in both request and response payloads. It is the correlation key.
+
+## Provider Namespacing
+
+Provider-specific behavior belongs under the provider segment:
+
+- `checkout.github.*` for GitHub-specific checkout operations
+- `checkout.gitlab.*` for future GitLab-specific checkout operations
+
+Do not put GitHub-specific enums or semantics into generic checkout RPC names. A generic RPC should only exist when the behavior is genuinely provider-neutral.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+The existing flat RPC names remain part of the protocol until they are intentionally migrated:
+
+```ts
+checkout_pr_merge_request;
+checkout_pr_merge_response;
+```
+
+Do not add new flat names. When migrating old RPCs, keep protocol compatibility rules in mind:
+
+- Add the new names first.
+- Gate new feature behavior through `server_info.features.*` when an old host cannot support it.
+- Keep old names accepted until the compatibility window expires.
+- Mark shims with `COMPAT(...)` and a removal date.

-`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. If you find yourself reaching for `withUnistyles(ScrollView)`, treat it as a smell and check whether a wrapper view works first.

 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.

 Do not import `theme` from `@/styles/theme` for live UI colors. That export is a dark-theme compatibility default, so using it in render code leaves icons, placeholders, or third-party props pinned to dark colors in light mode.
 
-Use `useUnistyles()` inside the component instead:
+Wrap the icon (or other leaf component) with `withUnistyles` instead, so only that node re-renders when the theme changes:
 
 ```tsx
-const { theme } = useUnistyles();
+import { ChevronDown } from "lucide-react-native";

-Importing `baseColors`, theme-name constants, or `type Theme` is fine when the value is intentionally static or type-only.
+This is the dominant pattern in the app today (see `sidebar-workspace-list.tsx`, `message.tsx`, the workspace screens). Reserve `useUnistyles()` for the last-resort cases described at the top of this file. 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.
