refactor(app): extract daemon management toggle coordinator with unit tests

Fills the coverage gap left by deleting desktop-updates-section.test.tsx. Extracts executeDaemonManagementToggle from useDaemonManagementToggle — pure async coordinator with injected deps (no vi.mock). Unit tests verify the three key invariants: settings persist before stop, stop is skipped when not desktop-managed, and start/stop are invoked on enable/disable.
test(app): triage desktop test files — delete 16-mock component slop, tighten attachment store assertion

 # Changelog

-## 0.1.65-beta.4 - 2026-05-02
+## 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.

 ### Added

- **In-app browser** — open a real web browser in any workspace and click any element on the page to send it to the agent as context. ([#670](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/670) by [@jasonkneen](https://github.com/jasonkneen))
- Inline review comments in the git diff pane, including tap a line number to start a comment. ([#530](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/530))
- Sub-agent activity now streams into the timeline as nested tool calls — Codex sub-agents, OpenCode sub-agents, and Claude sub-agents all show their work inline.

 - 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))
- Connect directly via TCP URI with SSL and optional password auth. ([#635](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/635))
+- 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 for Snapdragon X / Copilot+ PCs.
- Images in assistant messages show a loading spinner while they load and an "Image unavailable" fallback if they fail, instead of a blank space.
+- **Windows:** Native ARM64 builds are now available.
 - Bundled Paseo skills now refresh automatically on desktop app launch.

 - Cursor CLI and other ACP custom providers launch reliably. ([#628](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/628))

+- 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))

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