+Repo dev commands use checkout-local state by default. In this checkout, `PASEO_HOME` resolves to `.dev/paseo-home`, and `npm run cli -- ...` targets that same dev home automatically. The packaged desktop app and production-style daemon keep using `~/.paseo` on port `6767`.

@@ -65,6 +73,7 @@ See [docs/development.md](docs/development.md) for full setup, build sync requir
 - **NEVER restart the main Paseo daemon on port 6767 without permission** — it manages all running agents. If you're an agent, restarting it kills your own process.
 - **NEVER assume a timeout means the service needs restarting** — timeouts can be transient.
 - **NEVER add auth checks to tests** — agent providers handle their own auth.
+- **Before changing app routes, startup routing, remembered workspace restore, or active workspace selection, read [docs/expo-router.md](docs/expo-router.md).**
 - **NEVER run the full test suite locally.** The test suites are heavy and will freeze the machine, especially if multiple agents run them in parallel. Rules:
   - Run only the specific test file you changed: `npx vitest run <file> --bail=1`
   - Never run `npm run test` for an entire workspace unless explicitly asked.

 # Contributing to Paseo
 
-Paseo is an opinionated product maintained by one person.
+Paseo is an opinionated product maintained by one person right now.
 
-I read every issue and PR myself, and I am selective about what contributions I accept.
+The product covers a lot of surface: mobile, desktop, web, the daemon, the relay, and both self-hosted and hosted setups.
 
-Good ideas still need to fit the shape of the product: a PR can be technically correct and still not belong in Paseo.
+Contributing takes a lot of context that is very hard to transfer. That's why product, design, architecture, and workflow decisions are currently all made by the maintainer.
 
-Core product, design, architecture, and workflow changes are not accepted.
+## Becoming a maintainer
 
-Follow these rules if you want your PR to be merged:
+There's no formal process to become a maintainer, if you consistently contribute and help out, you'll become one.
+
+Here's the progression:
+
+1. Get involved in the community: answer questions in Discord and on GitHub
+2. Triage bugs: replicate and help fix them
+3. Work on maintainer-approved features
+
+The reason for this progression is so that you can gain all the context you need to take on more responsibility, so that I can see if you have what it takes to be a maintainer.
+
+Learning on the job is fine, I do not care how many years of experience you have, what I care about is that you get the vision and want to contribute.
+

+## Requesting features
+
+If you need a feature implemented, create a Github issue or a thread in Discord.
+
+Explain the problem you want to solve: your use case, where Paseo falls short today, and the flow you expect.

 ## AI assistance
 
-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.
+Using AI to help write code is fine, but you must:

+- Ensure your agents read the docs
+- Understand the code you submit
+- Review and test the code yourself

+
+在你自己的机器上并行运行 agents。无论在手机上还是桌前，都能推进交付。
+
+- **自托管：** Agents 在你的机器上运行，使用完整的本地开发环境、工具、配置和技能。
+- **多提供商：** 通过同一个界面使用 Claude Code、Codex、Copilot、OpenCode 和 Pi。为每个任务选择合适的模型。
+- **语音控制：** 在语音模式下口述任务或讨论问题。需要免手操作时很方便。
+- **跨设备：** 支持 iOS、Android、桌面端、Web 和 CLI。在桌前开始工作，用手机查看进度，也可以从终端脚本化操作。
+- **隐私优先：** Paseo 没有遥测、追踪，也不会强制登录。
+
+## 快速开始
+
+Paseo 会运行一个名为 daemon 的本地服务，用来管理你的 coding agents。桌面 app、移动 app、Web app 和 CLI 等客户端都会连接到它。
+
+### 前置条件
+
+你至少需要安装一个 agent CLI，并用你的凭据完成配置：
+
+- [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)
+- [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex)
+- [GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot/cli/)
+- [OpenCode](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode)
+- [Pi](https://pi.dev)
+
+### 桌面 app（推荐）
+
+从 [paseo.sh/download](https://paseo.sh/download) 或 [GitHub releases 页面](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/releases)下载。打开 app 后 daemon 会自动启动，不需要再安装其他东西。
+
+如果要从手机连接，在 Settings 中扫描显示的二维码。
+
+### CLI / 无头模式
+
+安装 CLI 并启动 Paseo：
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
+paseo
+```
+
+终端中会显示一个二维码。你可以从任意客户端连接。这个方式适合服务器和远程机器。
+
+完整安装和配置见：
+
+- [文档](https://paseo.sh/docs)
+- [配置参考](https://paseo.sh/docs/configuration)
+
+## CLI
+
+你能在 app 中完成的事情，也都可以在终端中完成。
+
+```bash
+paseo run --provider claude/opus-4.6 "implement user authentication"
+paseo run --provider codex/gpt-5.4 --worktree feature-x "implement feature X"
+
+paseo ls                           # 列出正在运行的 agents
+paseo attach abc123                # 实时流式查看输出
+paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # 发送后续任务
+
+# 在远程 daemon 上运行
+paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"
+```
+
+更多内容见[完整 CLI 参考](https://paseo.sh/docs/cli)。
+
+## Skills
+
+Skills 会教你的 agent 使用 Paseo 来编排其他 agents。
+
+```bash
+npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
+```
+
+然后在任意 agent 对话中使用：
+
+- `/paseo-handoff` — 在 agents 之间交接工作。我会用它先和 Claude 规划，再交给 Codex 实现。
+- `/paseo-loop` — 让 agent 按明确验收标准循环工作（也叫 Ralph loops），也可以加 verifier。
+- `/paseo-advisor` — 启动单个 agent 作为 advisor，提供第二意见，但不把工作委托出去。
+- `/paseo-committee` — 组建两个风格互补的 agents，让它们后退一步做根因分析并产出计划。
+
+## 开发
+
+Monorepo 包结构速览：
+
+- `packages/server`：Paseo daemon（agent 进程编排、WebSocket API、MCP server）
+- `packages/app`：Expo 客户端（iOS、Android、Web）
+- `packages/cli`：用于 daemon 和 agent 工作流的 `paseo` CLI
+- `packages/desktop`：Electron 桌面 app
+- `packages/relay`：用于远程连接的 relay 包
+- `packages/website`：营销站点和文档（`paseo.sh`）
+
+常用命令：
+
+```bash
+# 运行所有本地开发服务
+npm run dev
+
+# 单独运行某个界面
+npm run dev:server
+npm run dev:app

+- [paseo-relay](https://github.com/zenghongtu/paseo-relay) — Go 实现的自托管 relay
+- [paseo-vscode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hinnes.paseo-vscode) — VS Code 扩展
+
+### 自托管 relay TLS
+
+自托管 relay 默认使用 `ws://`，除非显式启用 TLS。对于 nginx 后面、监听 443 的 relay，可以这样启动 daemon：
+
+```bash
+PASEO_RELAY_ENDPOINT=127.0.0.1:8080 \
+PASEO_RELAY_PUBLIC_ENDPOINT=relay.example.com:443 \
+PASEO_RELAY_USE_TLS=true \
+paseo daemon start
+```
+
+等价配置：
+
+```json
+{
+  "daemon": {
+    "relay": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "endpoint": "127.0.0.1:8080",
+      "publicEndpoint": "relay.example.com:443",
+      "useTls": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+最小 nginx WebSocket 代理配置：
+
+```nginx
+server {
+  listen 443 ssl;
+  server_name relay.example.com;
+
+  ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/relay.example.com/fullchain.pem;
+  ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/relay.example.com/privkey.pem;
+
+  location /ws {
+    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
+    proxy_http_version 1.1;
+    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
+    proxy_set_header Host $host;
+  }
+}

 If you expose the daemon beyond loopback, such as by binding to `0.0.0.0`, forwarding it through a tunnel or reverse proxy, or publishing it from a Docker container, you are responsible for restricting and securing that access. Setting a password is strongly recommended in that case.
 
+In Docker, the official image runs the daemon and agents as the non-root
+`paseo` user by default. Mounted workspaces and credentials are still fully
+available to anything the agents run inside the container.
+
 For remote access, use the relay connection. It is the supported path for reaching the daemon off-machine, and it adds end-to-end encryption plus a pairing handshake before commands are accepted.
 
 Host header validation and CORS origin checks are defense-in-depth controls for localhost exposure. They help block DNS rebinding and browser-based attacks, but they do not replace network isolation.

 Archived subagents disappear from the track, by design.

 Client liveness checks use the top-level JSON `ping`/`pong` envelope, not a session RPC and not RFC6455 protocol ping.

Re-keying owned state (drafts, expanded paths) by `cwd` makes them leak between distinct workspaces on the same folder. The `workspaceId`-keyed builders carry a `// workspaceId is opaque; do not parse this key back into a path.` comment — the opaque-id fallback to `cwd` exists only for old payloads without a `workspaceId`, not as a content-sharing mechanism.
+
+One deliberate non-violation: `AgentFileExplorerState.directories`/`files` cache directory listings inside the `workspaceId`-keyed explorer map. Same-`cwd` workspaces therefore keep duplicate caches, but they can never diverge — both fetch the identical directory via `listDirectory(workspaceRoot, …)`. This is duplication, not leakage, and is left as-is.

+## Runtime-only Terminal Sessions
+
+Terminals are live daemon state, not persisted JSON records. A terminal carries a `workspaceId` while it is running; workspace-scoped terminal lists include only terminals with the matching `workspaceId`. Legacy live terminals without an owner remain visible to unscoped terminal reads but contribute to no workspace status.
+
+Terminal activity contributes to the workspace status bucket **per `workspaceId`**: a working terminal drives `running` onto the workspace it carries only. Same-`cwd` siblings are untouched; terminal visibility is likewise `workspaceId`-scoped.

+OpenAI speech can be configured under `providers.openai`. STT and TTS resolve independently, so they can point at different endpoints:
+

+  "providers": {
+    "openai": {
+      "stt": {

+  }
+}
+```
+
+`providers.openai.stt` is used for both composer dictation and voice mode speech-to-text; `providers.openai.tts` is used for voice mode text-to-speech. The equivalent env vars are `OPENAI_STT_API_KEY`/`OPENAI_STT_BASE_URL` and `OPENAI_TTS_API_KEY`/`OPENAI_TTS_BASE_URL`. Each feature falls back to `providers.openai.apiKey`/`providers.openai.baseUrl`, then `OPENAI_API_KEY`/`OPENAI_BASE_URL`, when its own fields are unset. These settings apply only to Paseo OpenAI speech features, not to Codex or other OpenAI-backed tools.
+
+Paseo uses these paths under the configured OpenAI base URL:

-`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 **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 `$TMPDIR` and removes it on exit. Set `PASEO_HOME` explicitly to keep state across runs.
+- **Repo dev scripts** default to `$ROOT/.dev/paseo-home`, where `$ROOT` is the current checkout or worktree root. This keeps all dev state scoped to the checkout instead of the packaged desktop app.

+
+### iOS simulator preview service
+
+Paseo worktrees expose the native iOS dev app through the `ios-simulator` service in `paseo.json`. The service URL serves the simulator preview at `/.sim`, so the preview link is `${PASEO_URL}/.sim`.
+
+The service is designed for concurrent worktrees: it derives a deterministic simulator identity from the worktree path, uses the worktree's assigned `PASEO_PORT`, pins `serve-sim` to that simulator UDID, and only tears down that worktree's helper/simulator state. It must not rely on the globally booted simulator or any fixed Metro port.
+
+Worktree setup best-effort seeds the generated iOS project and newest native build cache from the source checkout before the service runs. The service still validates the native project by running Expo prebuild and Xcode; the seed only avoids paying all setup/build cost from a cold worktree every time.
+
+Starting the service must not create, focus, reveal, or leave behind macOS Simulator.app windows. The browser preview is the user-visible simulator surface.

+## Bundled daemon web UI
+
+> The user-facing guide for this feature (enabling it, reverse proxy, TLS, tunnels, security) lives at [public-docs/web-ui.md](../public-docs/web-ui.md). This section is the contributor/build reference: how the artifact is produced, bundled, and excluded from desktop packaging.
+
+The daemon can optionally serve the browser web client from the same HTTP server. This is disabled by default.
+
+Enable it for a running daemon with:
+
+```bash
+paseo daemon start --web-ui
+```
+
+Or set the environment variable:
+
+```bash
+PASEO_WEB_UI_ENABLED=true paseo daemon start
+```
+
+Or persist it in `config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "features": {
+    "webUi": {
+      "enabled": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When enabled, opening the daemon HTTP origin (for example `http://localhost:6767/`) serves the web app. The same HTTP server continues to serve `/api/*`, `/mcp/*`, `/public/*`, the WebSocket upgrade, and service-proxy routes. Static files load without daemon bearer auth; API and WebSocket calls still enforce auth.
+
+The served app auto-bootstraps a connection to the same origin, so opening `http://localhost:6767/` directly usually skips the Add Host step.
+
+Build the artifact for packaging or measurement with:
+
+```bash
+npm run build:daemon-web-ui
+```
+
+This exports the normal browser web app (not the Electron-flavored desktop renderer) and copies it into `packages/server/dist/server/web-ui`, precompressing `.html`, `.js`, `.css`, and JSON assets as `.br` and `.gz`.
+
+Measured bundle size for a standard Expo web export:
+
+- raw: 10.77 MiB
+- gzip: 2.55 MiB
+- brotli: 1.93 MiB
+
+The desktop-managed daemon disables the bundled web UI by default (`PASEO_WEB_UI_ENABLED=false`) because the desktop app already ships the renderer as `app-dist`. Shipping the same assets again inside `@getpaseo/server` would duplicate the ~10.8 MiB install. Desktop packaging also excludes `node_modules/@getpaseo/server/dist/server/web-ui/**` from the packaged app.
+
 ## Built workspace packages
 
 Package imports resolve through package exports to compiled `dist/` output, not sibling `src/` files. This is true in local dev and in published packages: the app, daemon, CLI, and SDK consumers should all exercise the same runtime paths.
 
-`npm run dev`, `npm run dev:server`, and `npm run dev:app` build the workspace packages they need once, then keep `@getpaseo/protocol` and `@getpaseo/client` fresh with TypeScript watch builds while the daemon or Expo runs. If you change protocol schemas or client code outside those watch workflows, rebuild the producer before trusting runtime behavior.

-# Git Snapshot Startup Reshaping - 2026-05-27
-
-## What changed
-
-The sidebar PR badge no longer has a special per-row fetch path. It is derived from the workspace snapshot, the same way the sidebar already gets branch/diff metadata.
-
-```text
-daemon startup / workspace subscription
-  -> WorkspaceGitService.refreshSnapshot(cwd)
-    -> getCheckoutSnapshotFacts(cwd)
-    -> getCheckoutStatus(cwd, { facts })
-    -> getCheckoutShortstat(cwd, { facts })
-    -> getPullRequestStatus(cwd, github, ..., { facts })
-    -> WorkspaceGitRuntimeSnapshot
-  -> session workspace descriptor githubRuntime.pullRequest
-  -> app useSidebarWorkspacesList()
-  -> SidebarWorkspaceEntry.prHint
-  -> Sidebar row badge + hover card checks
-```
-
-The remaining `checkout_pr_status_request` path is still present for explicit PR surfaces and compatibility, but the sidebar row badge no longer calls `useWorkspacePrHint()` and therefore no longer generates ad hoc checkout PR status requests per visible row.
-
-## Shared Git Facts
-
-`getCheckoutSnapshotFacts()` is now the first git read in the workspace snapshot builder. It gathers facts that were previously rediscovered by separate functions:
-
-- worktree root: `rev-parse --show-toplevel`
-- current branch: `rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`
-- origin remote URL
-- Paseo worktree ownership and stored base ref
-- resolved base ref and best comparison base
-- main repo root
-- branch remote/merge config
-- tracked origin branch
-- pull request lookup target for fork/PR worktrees
-
-Those facts are then passed through `CheckoutContext` so status, shortstat, and PR status reuse the same answers instead of independently re-reading them.
-
-## Current Data Flow
-
-```text
-Workspace subscription / fetch_workspaces
-  -> session workspace registry
-  -> workspaceGitService.getSnapshot(cwd, includeGitHub)
-     -> refresh queue/throttle/dedupe per normalized cwd
-     -> refreshGitSnapshot()
-        -> getCheckoutSnapshotFacts()
-        -> getCheckoutStatus({ facts })
-        -> getCheckoutShortstat({ facts })
-     -> refreshGitHubSnapshot()

-  -> WorkspaceDescriptorPayload.gitRuntime
-  -> WorkspaceDescriptorPayload.githubRuntime
-  -> app session store
-  -> useSidebarWorkspacesList()
-     -> diffStat from descriptor
-     -> prHint from descriptor.githubRuntime.pullRequest

-## Startup Benchmark
-
-Added deterministic real-home benchmark:
-
-`packages/server/scripts/benchmark-startup-git-real-home.ts`
-
-The script freezes the current Paseo home using the same metadata-copy shape as `scripts/dev-home.sh`: JSON under `agents`, JSON under `projects`, and `config.json`. It then starts an isolated in-process daemon against that frozen home, subscribes to workspaces/agents, records git invocations through `runGitCommand`, and reports elapsed time, git count, max concurrency, CPU, and memory deltas.
-
-The frozen home used for the comparison contained 22 workspaces.

-| after 2     | after service fact sharing | snapshot-only sidebar, no PR badge fanout |          308 |       15 | 31334ms |
-
-The server-side fact reuse accounts for nearly all measured git command reduction: `529 -> 375` (`-154`, `-29.1%`) even when the old PR fanout is still forced. Removing the sidebar fanout removes the ad hoc request path, but in this run it only changed command count by `3` because the refreshed workspace snapshots already carried the PR data by the time the fanout ran.
-
-The second pass shares checkout facts between workspace observation setup and snapshot refresh. That removes another `64` git commands from the same frozen-home run: `372 -> 308` (`-17.2%` from the previous after, `-41.8%` from baseline).

-## Snapshot Equivalence Guard
-
-Added a focused utility test proving that status, shortstat, and PR status return the same data when run from shared snapshot facts. The same test records git calls and asserts the facts-backed path does not re-run:
-
-- `rev-parse --show-toplevel`
-- `rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`
-
-Test:
-
-`packages/server/src/utils/checkout-git.test.ts` -> `reuses checkout snapshot facts across status, shortstat, and PR status reads`
-
-## Remaining Waste Visible In Baseline
-
-This pass reshaped the data flow and removed the sidebar PR badge special path. It did not try to optimize every command.
-
-The benchmark still shows repeated per-workspace reads that are candidates for the next pass:
-
-- base ref existence checks still repeat as `show-ref` probes.
-- default branch resolution still repeats `symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`.
-- repo common-dir lookup is lower, but still above the apparent git workspace count.
-- shortstat still runs its own merge-base/diff/untracked scan per workspace.
-
-The important invariant now is clearer: sidebar-visible git data should flow from `WorkspaceGitService` snapshots, and snapshot builders should receive reusable git facts through `CheckoutContext`.

-# OpenCode Provider Snapshot Startup Timeout Diagnosis - 2026-05-27
-
-## Answer
-
-The startup timeout is real OpenCode provider snapshot work, not an agent resume path.
-
-In the dev-style copied-home reproduction, the OpenCode snapshot misses the 30s budget because several expensive things stack:
-
-1. Paseo starts from a copied `PASEO_HOME` containing 4,851 agent records.
-2. Clients ask for provider snapshots for three cwd scopes at almost the same time:
-   - `/Users/moboudra`
-   - `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo`
-   - `/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor`
-3. Each OpenCode snapshot runs two OpenCode SDK calls:
-   - `GET /provider?directory=...` through `client.provider.list()`
-   - `GET /agent?directory=...` through `client.app.agents()`
-4. One cold `opencode serve` process is shared by the three cwd scopes. It took 8.562s to become ready.
-5. After OpenCode was listening, Paseo issued six OpenCode HTTP calls concurrently.
-6. The OpenCode `/provider` responses are large: about 3,549,620 decompressed bytes per cwd.
-7. During the same window, the daemon was still doing heavy startup workspace git work. In the exact 18:14:19-18:14:43 window, the daemon log has 292 git spawn/close events.
-8. The `/provider` calls eventually succeeded, but too late: they completed about 32.2s-32.5s after the snapshot fetch started, while the snapshot timeout is 30s.
-
-So the root cause is:
-
-```text
-Cold OpenCode server startup + three concurrent cwd snapshots + large OpenCode /provider responses + daemon startup git contention causes client.provider.list() to complete after Paseo's 30s snapshot budget.
-```
-
-More precise wording: the contention is machine-level process/CPU/filesystem contention created by daemon startup work, especially git work. It is not proven to be an OpenCode internal lock or a Paseo-only event-loop issue. A daemon-free repro with only OpenCode plus an external git storm slowed the same six OpenCode calls from about 1s to about 30s total.
-
-Manual settings refresh works because it runs after startup contention is gone and uses `force: true`, which creates fresh OpenCode runtime/server state. The same OpenCode provider refreshes then complete in about 1.7s-2.2s.
-
-The daemon does not auto-retry error snapshots. A failed provider snapshot is cached as `status: "error"` until an explicit refresh resets it to loading.
-
-## Follow-up: Normal Copied-Home Startup Check
-
-I later reran a normal dev-daemon startup against a fresh copy of the same Paseo home metadata and drove the app startup request path:
-
-```text
-fetchWorkspaces
-fetchAgents
-getProvidersSnapshot(home scope)
-getProvidersSnapshot(first workspace scope)
-```
-
-That run did not reproduce the 30s OpenCode timeout.
-
-```text
-home scope:
-  OpenCode ready at ~8s
-  availability: 1.6s
-  fetch total: 5.2s
-
-first workspace scope:
-  OpenCode ready at ~26s
-  availability: 2.0s
-  fetch total: 15.4s
-```
-
-The slowest OpenCode operation in that successful run was the workspace-scoped `/provider` response body read: `13.6s`. The daemon log had no `Timed out refreshing OpenCode` entry and no OpenCode provider snapshot failure.
-
-This means the timeout is reproducible under the heavier multi-scope startup contention captured below, but it is not guaranteed on every copied-home dev startup.
-
-## Reproduction Used
-
-The user's correction was right: the useful reproduction is not a random isolated home. It must match `dev.sh` worktree behavior.
-
-Relevant scripts:
-
-- `scripts/dev.sh`
-- `scripts/dev-daemon.sh`
-- `scripts/dev-home.sh`
-
-`dev-home.sh` only seeds this metadata into the dev home:
-
-```text
-agents/**/*.json
-projects/**/*.json
-config.json
-```
-
-It does not copy `chat`, `loops`, `schedules`, sockets, pid files, logs, or worktree contents.
-
-I ran a separate daemon, not the main daemon:
-
-```text
-PASEO_HOME=/var/folders/xl/kkk9drfd3ms_t8x7rmy4z6900000gn/T/paseo-devseed.Wms6pi
-PASEO_LISTEN=127.0.0.1:51116
-PASEO_LOG_LEVEL=trace
-```
-
-Startup facts:
-
-```text
-18:13:39.552 Agent storage initialized: 712ms
-18:13:39.559 Workspace registries bootstrapped: 719ms
-18:13:39.961 Agent registry loaded: 4851 records
-18:13:39.972 Server listening: http://127.0.0.1:51116
-```
-
-The probe then connected four client sessions and requested:
-
-- workspaces
-- active agents
-- provider snapshots for home, paseo, and blankpage/editor
-
-Client-visible result:
-
-```text
-18:14:30.263 /Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor opencode error:
-  OpenCode app.agents timed out after 10s
-
-18:14:41.687 /Users/moboudra/dev/paseo opencode error:
-  Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms
-
-18:14:41.688 /Users/moboudra opencode error:
-  Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms
-```
-
-## Exact OpenCode Timeline
-
-OpenCode snapshot requests began at `18:14:10`.
-
-Availability checks:
-
-```text
-18:14:10.780 opencode availability start for /Users/moboudra
-18:14:10.787 opencode availability start for /Users/moboudra/dev/paseo
-18:14:10.800 opencode availability start for /Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor
-
-18:14:11.363 paseo availability complete: 576ms
-18:14:11.376 home availability complete: 597ms
-18:14:11.391 blankpage availability complete: 591ms
-```
-
-OpenCode server acquisition:
-
-```text
-18:14:11.364 OpenCode server spawn start: opencode serve --port 56376
-18:14:19.926 OpenCode server listening after 8562ms
-```
-
-Six SDK calls were then issued:
-
-```text
-18:14:19.931 GET /provider directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo
-18:14:19.931 GET /agent    directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo
-18:14:19.931 GET /provider directory=/Users/moboudra
-18:14:19.931 GET /agent    directory=/Users/moboudra
-18:14:19.931 GET /provider directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor
-18:14:19.936 GET /agent    directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor
-```
-
-Why six:
-
-| Cwd                                    | Why that scope exists                                      | Model call                              | Mode call                         |
-| -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
-| `/Users/moboudra`                      | home/settings provider snapshot                            | `client.provider.list()` -> `/provider` | `client.app.agents()` -> `/agent` |
-| `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo`            | workspace-scoped provider snapshot for the Paseo workspace | `client.provider.list()` -> `/provider` | `client.app.agents()` -> `/agent` |
-| `/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor` | workspace/agent cwd snapshot for blankpage/editor          | `client.provider.list()` -> `/provider` | `client.app.agents()` -> `/agent` |
-
-Multiple clients can request the same snapshot scope during startup, but non-forced provider loads are deduped by `(cwd, provider)`. Different cwd scopes are separate loads. Three cwd scopes times two OpenCode SDK calls each is the six OpenCode calls in this repro.
-
-Headers arrived before the 30s timeout:
-
-| Call        | Cwd                             | Headers after request |
-| ----------- | ------------------------------- | --------------------- |
-| `/provider` | `/Users/moboudra`               | 6.462s                |
-| `/agent`    | `/Users/moboudra`               | 6.681s                |
-| `/agent`    | `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo`     | 6.681s                |
-| `/provider` | `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo`     | 8.192s                |
-| `/provider` | `/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage` | 8.654s                |
-| `/agent`    | `/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage` | 8.649s                |
-
-But body consumption and completion lagged:
-
-```text
-18:14:29.380 /agent home complete, total app.agents duration 9450ms
-18:14:29.813 /agent paseo complete, total app.agents duration 9883ms
-18:14:30.263 /agent blankpage timed out at 10s
-18:14:31.332 /agent blankpage body finally finished, after the 10s app.agents timeout
-
-18:14:41.687 paseo snapshot outer 30s timeout fires
-18:14:41.688 home snapshot outer 30s timeout fires
-
-18:14:43.593 /provider home completes, provider.list duration 23664ms, total listModels 32218ms
-18:14:43.798 /provider blankpage completes, provider.list duration 23868ms, total listModels 32411ms
-18:14:43.839 /provider paseo completes, provider.list duration 23911ms, total listModels 32476ms
-```
-
-The useful `/provider` results arrived about 1.9s-2.2s after the snapshot manager had already marked home and paseo as failed.
-
-## Why Settings Refresh Works
-
-After the daemon settled, I ran the same refresh path through the daemon on port `51116`, using `refreshProvidersSnapshot({ providers: ["opencode"] })`.
-
-Results:
-
-```text
-home refresh:
-  total: 2165ms
-  status: ready
-  models: 409
-  modes: 5
-
-/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo refresh:
-  total: 1675ms
-  status: ready
-  models: 409
-  modes: 5
-
-/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor refresh:
-  total: 1794ms
-  status: ready
-  models: 409
-  modes: 5
-```
-
-Trace details for the manual-style refresh:
-
-```text
-OpenCode server acquisition: 708ms-1291ms
-/agent completion: 433ms-592ms after request start
-/provider completion: 524ms-618ms after request start
-```
-
-That proves the startup failure is not bad credentials, not a permanently wedged OpenCode install, and not OpenCode generally taking more than 30s. It is startup timing and contention.
-
-## Minimal OpenCode-Only Repros
-
-### OpenCode Only, No Daemon, No Artificial Load
-
-I started a fresh `opencode serve`, waited for stdout `listening on`, then issued the same six HTTP calls concurrently:
-
-```text
-GET /provider?directory=/Users/moboudra
-GET /agent?directory=/Users/moboudra
-GET /provider?directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo
-GET /agent?directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo
-GET /provider?directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor
-GET /agent?directory=/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor
-```
-
-Three runs:
-
-| Run | `opencode serve` ready | All six calls complete |
-| --- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- |
-| 1   | 1376ms                 | 1295ms                 |
-| 2   | 906ms                  | 1050ms                 |
-| 3   | 939ms                  | 898ms                  |
-
-Slowest individual call in those runs:
-
-```text
-/provider /Users/moboudra/dev/paseo: 1270ms total
-/agent /Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor: 1251ms total
-```
-
-So six concurrent OpenCode calls alone are not the bug.
-
-### OpenCode Only Plus External Git Storm, No Daemon
-
-I then ran the same OpenCode-only six-call test while an external shell spawned repeated git commands across the same real workspaces/worktrees. This did not use the Paseo daemon.
-
-Result:
-
-```text
-opencode serve ready: 15479ms
-all six OpenCode calls complete: 15176ms after server ready
-combined cold-start + calls: about 30655ms
-```
-
-Individual calls under the external git storm:
-
-| Call        | Cwd                                    |   Total |
-| ----------- | -------------------------------------- | ------: |
-| `/provider` | `/Users/moboudra`                      | 10684ms |
-| `/agent`    | `/Users/moboudra`                      | 10767ms |
-| `/provider` | `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo`            | 13220ms |
-| `/agent`    | `/Users/moboudra/dev/paseo`            | 13147ms |
-| `/provider` | `/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor` | 14675ms |
-| `/agent`    | `/Users/moboudra/dev/blankpage/editor` | 15038ms |
-
-This is the daemon-free minimal evidence that process/filesystem contention can push the same OpenCode cold-start + six-call workload to the same 30s boundary.
-
-## Why It Does Not Retry
-
-`ProviderSnapshotManager.getSnapshot()` only starts background warmup for:
-
-- no existing snapshot
-- missing providers
-- entries still in `loading` with no active load
-
-When refresh fails, `refreshProvider()` stores:
-
-```text
-status: "error"
-error: "Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms"
-```
-
-An `error` entry is not treated as stale/loading by `getSnapshot()`, so normal reads keep returning the cached error.
-
-Settings refresh calls `refresh_providers_snapshot_request`, which routes to:
-
-```text
-refreshSettingsSnapshot()
-clearCachedProviders()
-resetSnapshotToLoading()
-refreshProviders(... force: true)
-```
-
-That is why you have to force a manual refresh.
-
-## Git Work During The Repro
-
-This is not the final optimization report, but it matters for the timeout because it overlaps exactly with OpenCode response handling.
-
-Total git commands in the dev-style copied-home daemon log:
-
-```text
-632 spawned
-632 closed
-```
-
-Top cwd counts:
-
-| Count | Cwd                                                                                   |

-
-In the exact OpenCode pressure window, `18:14:19` through `18:14:43`, there were:
-
-```text
-142 git command spawns
-150 git command closes
-```
-
-The main repeated command shapes were:
-
-```text
-76  git rev-parse --show-toplevel
-72  git status --porcelain
-72  git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/remotes/origin/main
-72  git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/heads/main
-16  git config --get branch.main.remote
-16  git config --get branch.main.merge
-16  git rev-list --count main..origin/main
-16  git rev-list --count origin/main..main
-```
-
-## Original `log.txt` Alignment
-
-The original startup showed the same home and paseo outer timeout shape:
-
-```text
-16:04:22.466 /Users/moboudra/dev/paseo:
-  Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms
-
-16:04:22.482 /Users/moboudra:
-  Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms
-```
-
-The original logs did not include SDK fetch/header/body timing, so they could only show the wrapper-level timeout. The dev-style copied-home reproduction with instrumentation now shows the missing link: the `/provider` calls completed just after the 30s snapshot budget.

-This report is descriptive only. It does not propose optimizations.

-## Executive Summary
-
-The daemon becomes ready quickly, then does a heavy post-listen startup pass driven by reconnecting clients and workspace/app hydration.

-- Daemon listen readiness: about `0.6s`.
-- Client reconnect plus workspace/app/provider hydration: about `45s`.
-- No git commands after workspace registry reconciliation in this slice.
-
-## Method
-
-I parsed structured trace lines from `log.txt`, especially:
-
-- `Git command closed`
-- `agent.session.inbound`
-- `agent.session.outbound`
-- `ws_slow_request`
-- provider snapshot warnings
-- provider resume events
-
-Important limitation: git command logs do not carry a websocket request id, so per-request attribution is inferred from timing and server code paths. Per-workspace git counts, command shapes, durations, and failures are exact for this log.
-
-Relevant code paths checked:
-
-- `packages/server/src/server/session.ts`
-  - `fetch_workspaces_request` calls `syncWorkspaceGitObservers(payload.entries)`.
-  - `checkout_status_request` calls `workspaceGitService.getSnapshot(resolvedCwd)`.
-  - `checkout_pr_status_request` calls `workspaceGitService.getSnapshot(cwd)`.
-- `packages/server/src/server/workspace-git-service.ts`
-  - checkout snapshot/root resolution uses `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`.
-  - snapshot refresh collects dirty state, upstream/ahead/behind, ref existence, and base divergence.
-- `packages/app/src/contexts/session-context.tsx`
-  - initial workspace hydration calls `client.fetchWorkspaces({ sort: activity_at desc, subscribe, page limit 200 })`.
-- `packages/app/src/hooks/use-sidebar-workspaces-list.ts`
-  - sidebar workspace refresh also calls `client.fetchWorkspaces({ sort: activity_at desc, page limit 200 })`.

-## Git Command Categories
-
-| category                                             | commands | failures | summed process time | max duration |

-| refs: `show-ref --verify --quiet ...`                |       86 |        2 |             14680ms |       1303ms |
-| upstream config: `config --get branch.*`             |       85 |       13 |             26437ms |       1624ms |
-| root detection: `rev-parse --show-toplevel`          |       80 |       30 |             24164ms |       1426ms |
-| dirty status: `status --porcelain`                   |       50 |        0 |             12670ms |       2020ms |
-| base divergence: `rev-list --left-right --count ...` |       28 |        0 |              9512ms |       1085ms |
-
-What those categories mean in the app:
-
-- Root detection: determine whether a cwd is inside a git repo and find its checkout root.
-- Dirty status: show dirty/clean workspace state.
-- Upstream config and ahead/behind: show branch tracking and sync state.
-- Ref existence and base divergence: compare checkout branch against candidate base refs for checkout/PR status.
-
-## Per-Workspace Git Work
-
-Columns:
-
-- `phase`: `pre/warm/reconnect/after`
-- `cats`: `root/dirty/upstream/ahead/refs/base/other`
-- `total_ms`: summed process time for that workspace

-## Git Failure Shape
-
-There were 75 nonzero git exits.
-
-Most failures were not timeouts. They were expected probe failures:
-
-- Non-repo checks: `rev-parse --show-toplevel` fails for paths that are not git repositories.
-- Missing upstream config: `config --get branch.<branch>.remote` fails for branches without configured upstream.
-- Missing remote branch graph: `rev-list --count <branch>..origin/<branch>` fails when the remote branch/ref does not exist.
-- Missing ref checks: `show-ref --verify --quiet refs/remotes/origin/my-branch` fails when a candidate ref does not exist.
-
-The `~/dev/opencode` git failures are branch graph probes for `ecosystem-paseo` versus `origin/ecosystem-paseo`, not OpenCode provider startup failures.

-| `16:04:22.482` | 1002 | `/Users/moboudra`           | `Timed out refreshing OpenCode after 30000ms` |
-
-These are provider snapshot failures, not OpenCode agent resume failures.
-
-The persisted OpenCode agent did resume:
-
-| time           | line | event                                                 |

-| `16:04:24.183` | 1202 | `provider.opencode.subscribe.ready`                   |
-| `16:04:24.306` | 1214 | raw event `server.connected`                          |
-| `16:04:25.933` | 1321 | `Agent resumed from persistence`, provider `opencode` |

-| `16:04:44.200` | 1789 | raw event `server.heartbeat`                          |
-
-There are no `provider.opencode.subscribe.error` or OpenCode agent fatal errors in this slice.
-
-OpenCode-related git:
-
-- `~/dev/opencode` had 22 git commands.
-- Four failed.
-- The failed commands were branch graph probes for `ecosystem-paseo` versus `origin/ecosystem-paseo`.
-- Those failures are git state/probe failures, not OpenCode provider process failures.
-
-### Codex
-
-Codex provider startup observations:
-
-- `provider.codex.spawn` appears multiple times for provider snapshot/config discovery.
-- A persisted Codex agent resumes successfully at `16:04:06.357`, line 518.
-- Debug logs show failed reads of Codex saved config defaults, but these are debug-level and do not become provider startup warnings/errors in this slice.
-- There are unhandled Codex trace event types such as remote-control/status and thread/goal status, but no Codex timeout or fatal provider startup failure in this slice.
-
-### Claude
-
-Claude agents resume successfully:
-
-| time           | line | client   | agent                                  |

-## What Work The App Asked For
-
-The startup work visible in the app/server protocol is:
-
-- Workspace list/sidebar hydration:
-  - `fetch_workspaces_request`, 9 total.
-  - This asks for the workspace list sorted by `activity_at desc`, usually page limit 200.
-  - On the server this triggers workspace git observer sync and workspace update flushing.
-
-- Agent list and agent detail hydration:
-  - `fetch_agents_request`, 11 total.
-  - `fetch_agent_request`, 1 total.
-  - `fetch_agent_timeline_request`, 7 total.
-  - Timeline requests are among the slowest requests in this slice.
-
-- Checkout/PR status UI:
-  - `checkout_pr_status_request`, 18 total, all Electron.
-  - `checkout_status_request`, 1 total.
-  - `subscribe_checkout_diff_request`, 2 total.
-  - These correspond to git snapshot consumers and are clustered during Electron reconnect.
-
-- Provider/model/mode UI:
-  - `get_providers_snapshot_request`, 9 total.
-  - `providers_snapshot_update`, 129 outbound updates.
-  - OpenCode provider snapshot refresh times out twice during this flow.
-
-- Workspace chrome:
-  - `project_icon_request`, 9 total.
-  - `file_explorer_request`, 1 total.
-
-- Terminal panel:
-  - `list_terminals_request`, 5 total.
-  - `subscribe_terminals_request`, 5 total.
-  - `terminals_changed`, 5 outbound updates.
-
-- Attention state:
-  - `clear_agent_attention`, 6 total.
-  - Some failures appear while clearing attention for persisted agents, but these are not provider startup failures.
-
-## Concrete Waste-Looking Work, Without Optimizing Yet
-
-The log shows repeated work in these exact forms:
-
-- 444 git commands total, but only 14 complete before the first client hello. The rest are post-listen startup/client hydration work.
-- Several workspaces get repeated full checkout snapshot patterns:
-  - three 33-command worktrees each get `3` root checks, `3` dirty checks, `3` upstream config probes, `9` ahead/behind probes, `12` ref checks, and `3` base divergence checks.
-  - three 27-command worktrees each get `3` root checks, `3` dirty checks, `6` upstream config probes, `6` ahead/behind probes, `6` ref checks, and `3` base divergence checks.
-  - `~/dev/paseo` gets `5` root checks, `5` dirty checks, `10` upstream config probes, and `10` ahead/behind probes.
-- Electron sends 18 `checkout_pr_status_request` messages at the same timestamp, then they drain slowly over ~20s.
-- Provider snapshot updates are broadcast very frequently: 129 outbound `providers_snapshot_update` messages, including large repeated payloads around 216KB and 415KB.
-- OpenCode snapshot refresh times out twice after 30s, but the actual OpenCode agent connection/resume succeeds.
-
-Again, this section names repeated work observed in the startup. It does not claim which repetition should be removed.

+# Running Paseo in Docker
+
+Paseo publishes a container image for running the daemon on a server, VM, NAS,
+or homelab box. The image also serves the bundled browser web UI, so one
+container gives you both the daemon API and a self-hosted UI.
+
+The image source lives in [`docker/`](../docker/).
+
+## How it works
+
+The official image:
+
+- installs `@getpaseo/server` and `@getpaseo/cli` from npm for stable images,
+  or from source-built workspace tarballs for beta images
+- runs the daemon as the non-root `paseo` user
+- listens on `0.0.0.0:6767` inside the container
+- enables the bundled daemon web UI with `PASEO_WEB_UI_ENABLED=true`
+- stores daemon state and agent credentials under `/home/paseo`
+- leaves agent CLIs out of the base image
+
+Open the container's HTTP origin, for example `http://localhost:6767`, to load
+the web UI. The served app receives a same-origin connection hint and connects
+back to that daemon. Static UI files load without daemon auth; API and
+WebSocket requests still require `PASEO_PASSWORD` when one is configured.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name paseo \
+  -p 6767:6767 \
+  -e PASEO_PASSWORD=change-me \
+  -v "$PWD/paseo-home:/home/paseo" \
+  -v "$PWD:/workspace" \
+  ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
+```
+
+Then open:
+
+```text
+http://localhost:6767
+```
+
+If you set `PASEO_PASSWORD`, enter the same password when adding the direct
+daemon connection in the web UI or another Paseo client.
+
+## Docker Compose
+
+Use [`docker/docker-compose.example.yml`](../docker/docker-compose.example.yml):
+
+```bash
+cp docker/docker-compose.example.yml docker-compose.yml
+$EDITOR docker-compose.yml
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Minimal example:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  paseo:
+    image: ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    ports:
+      - "6767:6767"
+    environment:
+      PASEO_PASSWORD: "change-me"
+    volumes:
+      - ./paseo-home:/home/paseo
+      - ./workspace:/workspace
+```
+
+## Installing Agents
+
+The base image does not preinstall Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot, Pi, or
+other agent CLIs. That keeps the default image small and avoids coupling Paseo
+releases to third-party agent release cycles.
+
+Create a child image for the agents you use:
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
+
+USER root
+RUN npm install -g @openai/codex @anthropic-ai/claude-code opencode-ai
+```
+
+Build it:
+
+```bash
+docker build -f Dockerfile -t paseo-with-agents .
+```
+
+Then use `image: paseo-with-agents` in Compose.
+
+Leave the child image user as root. The base entrypoint uses root only for
+first-run directory setup, then drops the daemon and launched agents to the
+non-root `paseo` user.
+
+An example child image is in
+[`docker/Dockerfile.agents.example`](../docker/Dockerfile.agents.example).
+
+You can also mount credentials from the host or run agent login once inside the
+container:
+
+```bash
+docker exec -it --user paseo paseo codex
+docker exec -it --user paseo paseo claude
+```
+
+Agent credentials and config persist in `/home/paseo`, alongside daemon state.
+Provider environment variables such as `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`,
+`OPENAI_BASE_URL`, or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` can be passed through `docker run -e`
+or `compose.environment`; Paseo passes them to launched agents.
+
+## Volumes
+
+| Mount         | Purpose                                                                  |
+| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `/home/paseo` | Paseo state under `.paseo` plus agent config such as `.codex`, `.claude` |
+| `/workspace`  | Code that Paseo and launched agents can read and write                   |
+
+The image defaults:
+
+| Variable       | Default              |
+| -------------- | -------------------- |
+| `HOME`         | `/home/paseo`        |
+| `PASEO_HOME`   | `/home/paseo/.paseo` |
+| `PASEO_LISTEN` | `0.0.0.0:6767`       |
+
+If you bind-mount host directories on Linux, make sure the container user can
+write them. The built-in `paseo` user has uid/gid `1000:1000`. For a different
+host uid/gid, either adjust ownership on the mounted directories or run the
+container with Docker's `--user` / Compose `user:` option.
+
+## Reverse Proxies
+
+When serving Paseo behind a reverse proxy, forward normal HTTP requests and
+WebSocket upgrades to the same daemon port.
+
+Caddy example:
+
+```caddy
+paseo.example.com {
+  reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:6767
+}
+```
+
+Nginx example:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    server_name paseo.example.com;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6767;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+If you reach the daemon by DNS name, set `PASEO_HOSTNAMES` so host-header
+validation allows that name:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  PASEO_HOSTNAMES: "paseo.example.com,.lan"
+```
+
+IPs and `localhost` are allowed by default.
+
+## Security
+
+- Set `PASEO_PASSWORD` for any published port or network-reachable deployment.
+- Prefer HTTPS at the reverse proxy for direct browser access.
+- Use the Paseo relay for untrusted networks or mobile access when you do not
+  want to expose the daemon port directly.
+- The container is the isolation boundary for agents. Agents can read and write
+  whatever you mount into `/workspace` and whatever credentials you place in
+  `/home/paseo`.
+- The bundled web UI static files are public on the daemon origin. The daemon
+  API and WebSocket remain protected by password auth when configured.
+
+See [SECURITY.md](../SECURITY.md) for the daemon trust model.
+
+## Building Locally
+
+```bash
+docker build -t paseo:local docker/base
+```
+
+To bake a specific published npm version:
+
+```bash
+docker build \
+  --build-arg PASEO_VERSION=0.1.102 \
+  -t paseo:0.1.102 \
+  docker/base
+```
+
+The Docker workflow builds the image on pull requests and on `main` as a
+non-publishing check. Stable `vX.Y.Z` tag pushes publish
+`ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:X.Y.Z` and `ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest`. Beta tags
+publish only the exact prerelease tag, such as
+`ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:0.1.102-beta.1`, and do not update `latest`.
+
+To replace a Docker image in place without rebuilding desktop, APK, or EAS
+mobile release artifacts, dispatch the Docker workflow manually instead of
+pushing a `v*` release tag:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run docker.yml \
+  --ref main \
+  -f paseo_version=0.1.102-beta.1 \
+  -f publish=true \
+  -f source_build=auto
+```
+
+Manual Docker publishes require an explicit `paseo_version`. Prerelease
+versions build from the checked-out source tree by default and publish only the
+exact prerelease image tag.
+
+The published image is multi-arch for `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **The web UI loads but cannot connect**: if `PASEO_PASSWORD` is set, add a
+  direct connection with the same password.
+- **403 Host not allowed**: set `PASEO_HOSTNAMES` to the DNS names you use.
+- **Provider not available**: install that agent CLI in a child image or mount a
+  runtime where the binary is on `PATH`.
+- **Permission errors in `/workspace`**: make the mounted directory writable by
+  uid/gid `1000:1000`, or run the container as the host uid/gid.
+- **Logs**: inspect `docker logs paseo` or
+  `/home/paseo/.paseo/daemon.log` inside the container.

+# Expo Router
+
+Paseo's mobile route tree is fragile because Expo Router and React Navigation do
+not fail loudly when a nested native route is mounted under the wrong layout. The
+usual symptom is a white or blank native screen with no JavaScript crash.
+
+Read this before changing `packages/app/src/app`, startup routing, remembered
+workspace restore, or active workspace selection.
+
+## Ownership
+
+Each layout owns only the routes directly inside its directory.
+
+- The root layout registers `h/[serverId]`.
+- The root layout does not register host leaf routes such as
+  `h/[serverId]/workspace/[workspaceId]`, `h/[serverId]/open-project`, or
+  `h/[serverId]/index`.
+- `packages/app/src/app/h/[serverId]/_layout.tsx` owns the host leaves with
+  relative screen names: `index`, `workspace/[workspaceId]/index`,
+  `agent/[agentId]`, `sessions`, `open-project`, and `settings`.
+
+Expo Router warns with `[Layout children]: No route named ...` when a layout
+registers grandchildren. Treat that warning as a route-tree bug. On native, that
+shape can leave a nested index route mounted without its local dynamic params and
+render a blank screen.
+
+## Startup
+
+The root `/` route chooses a host boundary. It does not jump directly into a host
+leaf.
+
+- Good: `/` -> `/h/[serverId]`
+- Bad: `/` -> `/h/[serverId]/workspace/[workspaceId]`
+
+`/h/[serverId]` is the host home route. The host index restores the last
+remembered workspace for that host after the remembered selection has hydrated
+and the workspace has not been proven missing. If there is no restorable
+workspace, it goes to global `/open-project`.
+
+This restore is based on the last navigated workspace, not current connection
+status. Do not redirect to another online host just because the remembered host
+is still connecting or offline; the workspace screen owns that offline/loading
+state.
+
+This split is deliberate. The host layout must mount first so native local
+dynamic params exist before any nested workspace leaf is selected.
+
+## App-Wide Route Hops
+
+When app-wide routes such as `/new` navigate back into a host workspace, use
+`navigateToHostWorkspaceRoute()` instead of calling `router.dismissTo()` with the
+leaf workspace URL.
+
+The root stack owns `h/[serverId]`; the host stack owns
+`workspace/[workspaceId]/index`. Repeated global-route hops must `POP_TO` the
+root host route and pass the nested workspace screen, or Expo Router can append
+extra hidden workspace deck entries.
+
+Those hidden entries are not harmless: composer floating panels can measure
+against the wrong deck and disappear offscreen.
+
+## Params
+
+Required dynamic params belong to the matched route.
+
+Do not paper over missing required params by reading global params in the leaf.
+If `useLocalSearchParams()` misses a required param, fix layout ownership or the
+startup route shape.
+
+Use the host route context for host-owned leaves that need the host id after
+`h/[serverId]/_layout.tsx` has matched. Do not make a leaf recover from an
+unmatched tree by guessing from global state.
+
+## App Directory
+
+Keep non-route modules out of `src/app`. Expo Router treats ordinary `.ts` and
+`.tsx` files there as routes, which produces `missing the required default
+export` warnings and pollutes the route tree.
+
+Put shared route policy in `src/navigation`, `src/utils`, stores, or another
+non-route directory.
+
+## Native Stack
+
+Keep workspace identity and retention outside native-stack `getId` and
+`dangerouslySingular`. Expo Router maps `dangerouslySingular` to React
+Navigation `getId`, and `getId` has broken Android native-stack/Fabric by
+reordering an already-mounted workspace screen.
+
+## Regression Shape
+
+Pure helper tests are useful but not enough. The failure mode here is native
+route-tree state, so a real regression should launch native with seeded persisted
+state:
+
+1. Seed `paseo:last-workspace-route-selection` with a valid
+   `{ serverId, workspaceId }`.
+2. Launch the native app cold.
+3. Assert a real screen is visible, not the blank tree.
+4. Assert no `[Layout children]` warning appears.
+
+The pure policy tests should still enforce the boundary split:
+
+- root startup with a saved workspace returns `/h/[serverId]`;
+- host index with the same saved workspace returns
+  `/h/[serverId]/workspace/[workspaceId]`;
+- host index with no restorable workspace returns `/open-project`.
+
+## Checklist
+
+Before landing route changes:
+
+- [ ] Did you change `packages/app/src/app`? Re-read this file.
+- [ ] Did you touch remembered workspace restore? Keep root on `/h/[serverId]`.
+- [ ] Did an app-wide route return to a workspace? Use
+      `navigateToHostWorkspaceRoute()`.
+- [ ] Did you add a route? Register it in the layout that directly owns it.
+- [ ] Did `useLocalSearchParams()` lose a required param? Fix the route tree.
+- [ ] Did native show a blank screen without a crash? Suspect route ownership
+      before stores, themes, or rendering.

+
+Paseo client UI translations live in `packages/app/src/i18n`.
+
+## Supported Locales
+
+- `en`
+- `ar`
+- `es`
+- `fr`
+- `ja`
+- `pt-BR`
+- `ru`
+- `zh-CN`
+
+The persisted app language setting is `"system" | "ar" | "en" | "es" | "fr" | "ja" | "pt-BR" | "ru" | "zh-CN"`. `"system"` follows the device or browser locale when it maps to a supported locale; unsupported system locales fall back to English. Japanese maps from system locales `ja` and Japanese regional locales. Brazilian Portuguese maps from system locales `pt-BR` and bare `pt`; other Portuguese regional locales remain unsupported until explicitly added.
+
+## Translation Scope
+
+Translate client-owned UI copy: labels, buttons, empty states, confirmation text, and local status/error wrappers.
+
+Do not translate agent output, daemon output, terminal contents, file paths, provider names, model names, command names, user-authored text, code blocks, logs, or raw protocol/server error text.
+
+## Adding Copy
+
+English source strings live in `packages/app/src/i18n/resources/en.ts`. Simplified Chinese strings live in `packages/app/src/i18n/resources/zh-CN.ts`.
+
+For migrated screens and components, use `useTranslation()` and pass translated text into UI primitives. Low-level primitives such as `<Button>` do not import translation state unless they own the text they render.
+
+Keep resource keys grouped by product surface, not component mechanics.
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+npx vitest run packages/app/src/i18n/resources.test.ts --bail=1
+```
+
+The parity test catches missing keys across English and every supported locale resource.
+
+## Migration Order
+
+Client UI translation is staged so each pass can migrate complete local copy clusters and keep reviews focused.
+
+1. App shell and shared UI chrome: common actions, headers, sheets, command center, and client-owned toast status.
+2. Composer and agent workflow: composer input, agent controls, permission prompts, plan approval, and agent panel wrapper states.
+3. Settings expansion: Appearance, Shortcuts, Integrations, Permissions, Diagnostics, About, Project settings, Host settings, and provider diagnostics.
+4. Workspace and panels: setup/file/browser/terminal wrapper copy, file explorer local states, import-session flows, and remaining local toast/error wrapper text.
+
+Within a migrated surface, do not leave mixed-language neighboring labels when those labels are owned by the client. Move the whole local copy cluster together.

+- Batch 4Z expanded the supported locale set to the six UN official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. Arabic, French, Russian, and Spanish now have full client-owned UI resource coverage, with key parity, fallback-ratio, and interpolation-placeholder tests guarding the generated translations. Arabic does not enable RTL layout direction in this batch.
+- Batch 5A added Brazilian Portuguese (`pt-BR`) resource coverage, language selector labels, i18next registration, and system-locale mapping for `pt-BR` and bare `pt`. Non-Brazilian Portuguese regional locales remain unsupported until a matching resource is added.

 The only built-in ACP provider today is `copilot` (`copilot-acp-agent.ts`). `GenericACPAgentClient` (`generic-acp-agent.ts`) is also ACP-based but is used for user-defined custom providers configured via `extends: "acp"` overrides — see [docs/custom-providers.md](custom-providers.md).
 
+Copilot custom agents are exposed through ACP session config, not the slash-command list. When custom agents are available, Copilot returns a select config option with `id: "agent"` and `category: "_agent"`; Paseo maps that to the `agent` provider feature. Copilot uses the agent display name as the option value, and the blank value means the default Copilot agent.

 ### Direct
 
 Implement the `AgentClient` and `AgentSession` interfaces from `agent-sdk-types.ts` yourself. This gives full control but requires you to handle process management, streaming, permissions, and session persistence from scratch.
 
-Existing direct providers: `claude` (in `providers/claude/agent.ts`), `codex` (`codex-app-server-agent.ts`), `opencode` (`opencode-agent.ts`), `pi` (`providers/pi/agent.ts`). The dev-only `mock` provider (`mock-load-test-agent.ts`) is also direct.
+Existing direct providers: `claude` (in `providers/claude/agent.ts`), `codex` (`codex-app-server-agent.ts`), `opencode` (`opencode-agent.ts`), `pi` (`providers/pi/agent.ts`), and `omp` (a Pi-compatible built-in backed by the Pi adapter). The dev-only `mock` provider (`mock-load-test-agent.ts`) is also direct.
+
+Paseo tools are not implemented as MCP tools internally. They live in a shared tool catalog under `packages/server/src/server/agent/tools/`; MCP is only the fallback adapter. A provider that can register runtime tools directly should set `supportsNativePaseoTools: true` and consume `launchContext.paseoTools` in `createSession`/`resumeSession`. When native tools are present, `AgentManager` strips the internal Paseo MCP server from the provider launch config so the provider does not receive the same tools twice. Providers that only know MCP should keep `supportsMcpServers: true` and let the daemon inject `/mcp/agents`.
 
 Pi is a process-backed provider. Paseo requires the user to have the `pi` binary installed and talks to it through `pi --mode rpc`; the server package does not embed Pi's SDK/runtime packages.
 
@@ -24,29 +28,60 @@ Pi MCP support depends on the open-source `pi-mcp-adapter` extension being loade
 
 Pi import discovery reads Pi's persisted JSONL session files because Pi RPC does not expose a recent-session listing command. Resume and full history hydration still go through `pi --mode rpc` using the session file as `nativeHandle`.
 
+OMP is a built-in Pi-compatible provider, disabled by default. It uses the `omp` command and imports terminal-started sessions from `~/.omp/agent/sessions` when enabled. Other Pi-compatible forks can still be custom providers that extend `pi`, override `command`, and set `params.sessionDir` to their JSONL session directory.
+
+Pi and OMP currently use different RPC names for slash-command discovery. The Pi package accepts `get_commands`; OMP accepts `get_available_commands`. Keep this as an explicit adapter setting for the built-in provider instead of probing with a fallback, because both packages return unknown-command errors without the request `id`, which otherwise turns a fast mismatch into the normal RPC timeout.
+
 Pi RPC extension UI dialog requests (`select`, `input`, `editor`, `confirm`) are bridged into Paseo question permissions and answered with `extension_ui_response`. Pi extensions such as `ask_user` may chain dialogs: for example, a `select` can be followed by an optional-comment `input`. When an `ask_user` tool call declares `allowComment: true`, Paseo presents the selection and optional comment as one question permission, answers Pi's initial `select` immediately, then auto-answers the follow-up optional `input` with the comment the user already supplied (or an empty string). Preserve placeholders and optional/skip semantics for standalone optional inputs so the app can still distinguish "skip this optional input" from "cancel the whole dialog." Fire-and-forget extension UI requests such as notifications are intentionally ignored by the provider adapter unless Paseo grows first-class UI for them.
 
 OpenCode MCP injection is dynamic and session-scoped. Call OpenCode's `mcp.add` endpoint with the MCP server config and do not follow it with `mcp.connect`; `connect` only toggles MCP servers already present in OpenCode's own config. New OpenCode versions return `McpServerNotFoundError`/404 for `connect` after a dynamic add because the server is not config-backed, while older versions silently swallowed the same missing-config path.
 
 OpenCode owns user message IDs. Do not pass Paseo-generated IDs to OpenCode prompt APIs; let OpenCode create `msg*` IDs and record the user timeline item from the `message.updated` event.
 
-Every provider adapter owns its canonical user-message timeline rows. When a foreground prompt is accepted, the adapter must emit exactly one `user_message` timeline item for that submitted prompt, using the same message ID it gives to or receives from the provider runtime. Optimistic client messages are UI-only and provider transcript echoes are optional; neither is allowed to be the only source of truth. If the provider later echoes the same submitted user message, dedupe by provider-visible message ID, not by text.

Prefer provider-visible message IDs, but ACP runtimes may omit that ID or replace it with a provider-owned one; in that case suppress only echo chunks whose accumulated text is a prefix of the active submitted prompt. Do not perform global transcript text dedupe.
 
-Draft metadata lookups should avoid creating provider sessions when the upstream provider has top-level APIs for that metadata. Prefer `AgentClient.listModels`, `listModes`, `listCommands`, or `listFeatures` over creating a scratch `AgentSession`; scratch sessions can show up as empty native sessions in provider import/history UIs.
+Draft metadata lookups should avoid creating provider sessions when the upstream provider has top-level APIs for that metadata. Prefer `AgentClient.fetchCatalog`, `listCommands`, or `listFeatures` over creating a scratch `AgentSession`; scratch sessions can show up as empty native sessions in provider import/history UIs. `fetchCatalog` is the single discovery API for models and modes — provider implementations may use one process, separate upstream calls, or static data internally, but callers outside the provider do not get separate runtime model/mode probes. Draft feature and command listing must use the explicit draft model only; if no model is selected yet, return no metadata instead of resolving a default model through catalog discovery.
+
+Provider session import has its own contract. The picker calls `listImportableSessions` and receives rows only: provider handle, cwd, title, prompt previews, and last activity. Import calls `importSession({ providerHandleId, cwd })` for the selected row and must not call listing again. The provider returns the resumed session, storage config, persistence handle, and hydrated timeline for that one native session; `AgentManager.importProviderSession` seeds the daemon timeline and publishes the Paseo agent only after it is ready.
+
+## Provider Helper Processes
+
+Provider-owned helper processes that can outlive an individual agent session must be recorded in the daemon's managed-process registry. Store provider/kind metadata, the PID, launch command/args, and process identity captured from the platform process table. Remove the record on normal exit or shutdown.
+
+If a helper process has a readiness phase, the provider's lifecycle model must own the process immediately after `spawn`, before readiness succeeds. Startup timeout, startup exit, and daemon shutdown must all clean up through that owned generation. Do not keep a spawned helper only inside a readiness promise; that creates a live process outside the manager/reaper contract.
+
+Daemon bootstrap reconciles that ledger in the background, without blocking startup: dead PIDs are deleted, PID identity mismatches are deleted without killing anything, only positively matched Paseo-owned leftovers are terminated, and a record whose process cannot be inspected is left in place for the next reconcile rather than deleted. Do not add broad process-name sweepers for provider cleanup; cleanup starts from records Paseo previously wrote.

 ## Provider Snapshot Refresh Contract
 
-The daemon keeps provider snapshots per resolved working directory. Missing or blank cwd resolves to the user's home directory. Workspace selectors and old model/mode list requests should pass the cwd that will launch the provider so providers with project-specific models or modes are probed in the right context. Settings/provider management intentionally uses the home-directory snapshot.
+The daemon keeps provider snapshots per resolved working directory, with a separate semantic global scope for settings/provider management and requests that do not carry a cwd. Provider catalog probes receive a discriminated `FetchCatalogOptions`: `{ scope: "global", force }` for global catalog refreshes, or `{ scope: "workspace", cwd, force }` for project-scoped refreshes. Providers decide what global means for their runtime; do not infer global by comparing a cwd to the user's home directory.
 
 Snapshot reads may probe providers only while the requested cwd scope is cold. Once an entry is warm, its `ready`, `error`, or `unavailable` state stays cached until an explicit refresh. Do not add TTL revalidation, focus-triggered refreshes, selector-open refreshes, or config-reload refreshes. Selector-open refetches may read an already-loading or stale React Query, but they must not force provider probing on their own.
 
-Settings refresh is the user-facing "forget stale provider knowledge everywhere" action. A settings refresh clears provider snapshot caches and in-flight loads across all cwd scopes, then immediately refreshes only the home-directory snapshot with `force: true`. Workspace snapshots are re-probed lazily on the next scoped read; do not fan out a settings refresh across every known workspace.

Workspace snapshots are re-probed lazily on the next scoped read; do not fan out a settings refresh across every known workspace.
 
 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 for that cwd; warm reads and registry replacement must not; explicit workspace refreshes affect only one cwd; settings refresh wipes all scopes but immediately refreshes only home.

+
+## Provider Usage Fetchers
+
+Provider plan usage is fetch-on-demand, not a daemon push subscription. The app calls `provider.usage.list.request` through React Query when the usage tooltip or Host Usage settings screen is shown, and the daemon returns the normalized `ProviderUsage` list directly.
+
+To add plan usage for a provider, add `packages/server/src/services/quota-fetcher/providers/<provider>.ts` and register it in `packages/server/src/services/quota-fetcher/manifest.ts`. The provider file exports only its fetcher class; provider auth, endpoint constants, API schemas, and normalization helpers stay private in that file. A fetcher owns provider auth/API parsing and returns the generic shape:
+
+- `providerId`, `displayName`, `status`, and optional `planLabel`
+- any number of `windows` such as Session, Weekly, or Biweekly
+- optional `balances` for credits, USD, requests, or tokens
+- optional `details` for provider-specific rows
+
+Keep the protocol shape provider-agnostic. Do not add provider-specific renderers for new limit windows; labels and generic bars should carry the UI. API responses should be parsed and normalized with Zod inside the fetcher, while the protocol boundary stays strict so old/new client compatibility is explicit.
+
+Kimi Code usage follows the CLI-managed credential file at `KIMI_CODE_HOME` or `~/.kimi-code/credentials/kimi-code.json`; do not probe the legacy `~/.kimi` path as the primary source for current Kimi Code installs.

 Session shrinks to a connection/dispatch shell: it keeps `handleMessage`, the `??` chain (1739-1751), `emit`/`emitBinary`, `sessionLogger`, connection identity, inflight metrics, lifecycle intents, and the **ordered** `cleanup()`. Each `dispatchXMessage` collapses to `return this.xController.dispatch(msg)`.
 
+## Progress (shipped — diverged from the original filenames)

+The first carves shipped as **deep modules with a narrow Host seam**, not the `dispatch(msg)`-owned-set controllers sketched below: `session.ts` keeps each `dispatchXMessage` switch and delegates per case to the subsystem.

+- **#1644 — CheckoutSession, read side** (`session/checkout/checkout-session.ts`, seam `CheckoutSessionHost`, port `CheckoutDiffSubscriber`): status, branch validate/suggest, diff subscribe/unsubscribe, manual refresh. The workspace-git observer already delegates `emitStatusUpdate`/`scheduleDiffRefresh` to it.

+**Next carve — CheckoutSession mutation side (Slice 4 below).** The 17 checkout _write_ handlers still inline in `session.ts` (`dispatchCheckoutMessage`, ~2010) — branch switch/rename, commit, merge, merge-from-base, pull, push, PR create/merge, github set-auto-merge/get-check-details, PR status, PR timeline, github search, stash save/pop/list — move into the existing `session/checkout/checkout-session.ts` behind `CheckoutSessionHost`. The Slice-3 observer entanglement the table fears is already resolved: #1644 moved the status/diff read side into CheckoutSession, so the workspace observer delegates today and this no longer blocks on the WorkspaceController split.

 ### Why this is safe at the dispatch seam (verified)
 
 `dispatchInboundMessage` builds `a() ?? b() ?? ... ?? dispatchMiscMessage()` and short-circuits on the first non-`undefined` **Promise object** (not its resolved value). Message-type spaces are **disjoint** (no duplicate `case` labels across switches), so at most one dispatcher matches any message — collapsing to delegation cannot change which handler runs. `dispatchTerminalMessage` (2150-2153) already proves this. Two quirks preserved verbatim: schedule/\* is reached via the chat dispatcher's OWN `default` arm (2183), not the top-level `??`; and `start_workspace_script_request` (a workspace type) is special-cased before terminal delegation (2150).

+# Terminal Activity Indicators
+
+Paseo surfaces terminal activity as a tab indicator (the same "running" dot used by agents).
+
+## Current state
+
+Terminal activity is source-agnostic plumbing. `TerminalActivityTracker` holds the current per-terminal state and emits transitions to the manager, worker protocol, websocket subscription, app buckets, dots, and notifications.
+
+The tracker defaults to unknown (`null`). Activity production lives outside terminal stream parsing: agent hook commands report coarse activity to the daemon's local `/api/terminal-activity` endpoint.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+TerminalSession
+  ├── TerminalActivityTracker               one per session
+  │     ├── set(state)                      records the latest state
+  │     └── onChange(snapshot, previous)    fires only on resolved-state transitions
+  │
+  └── onActivityChange({ activity, previous })   subscribed in TerminalManager
+        ├── emits terminalsChanged          terminal list/tab indicators only
+        └── subscribeTerminalActivity       per-transition stream for notification policy
+        └── subscribeTerminalWorkspaceContributionChanged  workspace status rollup only
+```
+
+`TerminalActivityTracker` is the single stateful object per session. It holds `{ state, changedAt }`, starts at unknown (`null`), and fires `onChange` only when the state actually changes.
+
+Terminal directory snapshots (`terminalsChanged`) and workspace contribution changes are separate concerns. A title-only change produces a terminal list snapshot but never touches workspace descriptors. A transition that changes the derived workspace bucket (e.g. idle -> working, working -> idle, attention cleared) emits both a terminal list snapshot and a server-internal `TerminalWorkspaceContributionChanged` event, which Session consumes to invalidate every active workspace sharing the owning workspace's `cwd`.
+
+### Transitions carry their own history
+
+Each `onChange` delivers both the new snapshot and the `previous` one (`{ state, changedAt }`). The transition flows unchanged up through `TerminalSession.onActivityChange` (as `{ activity, previous }`), the worker protocol's `terminalActivityChange` event, and the manager-level `subscribeTerminalActivity(listener)` stream (`{ terminalId, name, cwd, activity, previous }`).
+
+The daemon consumes these transitions, not snapshots. When a transition moves from `working` to `idle`, the tracker records finished attention, so the terminal shows the same green finished dot as an idle agent that needs review. The websocket layer also fires a "Terminal finished" attention notification. A terminal that exits while still working emits no turn-end notification.
+
+Terminal list visibility is `workspaceId`-scoped: a terminal belongs to the workspace that created it, and same-`cwd` sibling workspaces do not see it in their terminal lists. Terminal status routing starts from that owning workspace, uses the owning workspace's `cwd`, then fans the status bucket out to every active workspace with the same `cwd`.
+
+Path-prefix routing is only a legacy fallback for unowned terminal activity contribution. If a live terminal has no `workspaceId`, the daemon resolves the deepest active parent workspace from the terminal `cwd`, then fans status out to active same-`cwd` siblings of that owner. That fallback contributes status, but it does not make the terminal visible in workspace-scoped terminal lists.
+
+## Hook reporting
+
+Terminals receive four environment variables when the daemon creates the shell:
+
+- `PASEO_TERMINAL_ID`
+- `PASEO_ACTIVITY_TOKEN`
+- `PASEO_TERMINAL_ACTIVITY_URL`
+- `PASEO_HOOK_CLI` — absolute path to the current `paseo` CLI executable.
+
+The generated shell command uses `PASEO_HOOK_CLI` to run the current CLI. `paseo hooks <agent> <event>` then reads the terminal id, token, and activity URL, asks the agent hook provider registry to resolve the event to a coarse activity state, and silently posts `{ terminalId, token, state }` to the activity URL. Missing env, unsupported agents/events, malformed hook input, and daemon/network failures are no-ops so agent hooks never break the user's terminal session.
+
+Claude hook mapping:
+
+- `UserPromptSubmit` → `running`
+- `Stop`, `StopFailure`, `SessionEnd` → `idle`
+- `Notification` with `reason` or `matcher` equal to `idle_prompt` → `needs-input`
+
+Codex hook mapping:
+
+- `UserPromptSubmit` → `running`
+- `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse` → `running`
+- `PermissionRequest` → `needs-input`
+- `Stop` → `idle`
+
+OpenCode uses a server plugin instead of command hooks. The plugin listens to OpenCode bus events and emits these Paseo hook events:
+
+- `session.status` with `busy` or `retry` → `running`
+- `session.status` with `idle` → `idle`
+- `permission.asked` → `needs-input`
+- `permission.replied` → `running`
+
+The daemon maps hook states onto terminal activity like an agent lifecycle plus unread attention: `running` → `state: working`, `idle` → `state: idle`, and `needs-input` → `state: idle` with `attentionReason: needs_input`. A `working` → `idle` transition records `state: idle` with `attentionReason: finished` until the user focuses that terminal; plain idle terminals still contribute no workspace status.
+
+## Focus clearing
+
+Client heartbeats include the focused terminal id. When a visible client focuses a terminal with an `attentionReason`, the daemon clears the attention and leaves the terminal idle. Plain idle terminal activity does not contribute to workspace status, so a workspace whose only attention source was that terminal rolls up from `needs_input` or `attention` back to `done`.
+
+### Agent hook installation
+
+Installing hooks edits the user's real agent config files, so it is opt-in. The daemon setting
+`enableTerminalAgentHooks` (persisted under `daemon.enableTerminalAgentHooks`, default `false`)
+gates installation. It is surfaced in the app under a host's **Terminals** settings as "Enable
+terminal agent hooks" — "Get notifications and status from terminal agents. This installs hooks in
+your agent config files." `applyTerminalAgentHookSetting` reconciles the installed hooks with the
+setting: at startup it installs only when enabled; toggling the setting live installs on enable and
+removes Paseo's marker-matched hooks on disable. `paseo hooks` keeps working regardless — the gate
+only controls whether the daemon writes hooks into agent configs, not whether the CLI can post
+activity when the env is present.
+
+When enabled, Paseo installs provider hooks globally:
+
+- Claude hooks are written to `~/.claude/settings.json` (or `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/settings.json` when that override is set).
+- Codex hooks are written to `~/.codex/hooks.json` (or `CODEX_HOME/hooks.json` when that override is set). Codex supports a native `commandWindows`, so each Paseo hook includes both POSIX and Windows commands. Non-managed Codex hooks are trust-gated by Codex; users may see Codex's hook review prompt before the hook runs.
+- OpenCode gets a self-contained plugin at `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/opencode/plugins/paseo-terminal-activity.js` (or `~/.config/opencode/plugins/paseo-terminal-activity.js` when XDG is unset; `OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR` still wins when set).
+
+Installation is marker-based/idempotent for config hooks and exact-file/idempotent for the OpenCode plugin. Paseo preserves user hooks, removes only its own marker-matched command hooks, and leaves hooks installed across daemon shutdown. Outside a Paseo terminal they are inert because the command or plugin is gated on `PASEO_TERMINAL_ID`.
+
+Provider variation lives in `AGENT_HOOK_PROVIDERS`: provider id, installed events, config install metadata, and runtime event-to-activity resolution. The daemon calls `installRegisteredAgentHooks()` once; the CLI calls `resolveHookActivity(provider, event, input)`. Adding a provider should add one provider entry and register it in `AGENT_HOOK_PROVIDERS`, without editing the generic CLI command or daemon bootstrap.
+
+The installed hook command keeps the config portable and resolves the CLI at runtime:
+
+```sh
+[ -n "$PASEO_TERMINAL_ID" ] && "${PASEO_HOOK_CLI:-paseo}" hooks claude <event>
+```
+
+Codex also receives the Windows equivalent:
+
+```bat

+
+Paseo injects `PASEO_HOOK_CLI` so Codex's hook shell cannot pick up a stale global `paseo` before the current one. The command still falls back to bare `paseo` if the env is missing, and it still no-ops outside Paseo terminals because the `PASEO_TERMINAL_ID` gate remains first. Paseo also prepends the CLI binary directory to each terminal `PATH` as a secondary fallback. All other behavior lives in `paseo hooks`: read the env, map the event, POST activity, and no-op/fail-open when anything is missing or unavailable.
+
+If config installation fails, daemon startup and terminal spawn continue without terminal activity hooks.

+# Terminal performance
+
+How terminal output stays low-latency, what the invariants are, and how to measure before/after any change to the pipeline. Read this before touching anything under `packages/server/src/terminal/` or `packages/app/src/terminal/runtime/`.
+
+## The pipeline
+
+```
+pty (node-pty, forked worker process)
+  → headless xterm parse (worker, snapshot fidelity)
+  → TerminalOutputCoalescer (worker, ≤1 IPC message per 5ms per terminal)
+  → process.send IPC → daemon main process
+  → TerminalOutputCoalescer (per client stream, terminal-session-controller.ts)
+  → binary ws frame (2-byte header + raw bytes)
+  → client decode (daemon-client.ts) → stream router → emulator runtime
+  → xterm.write (back-to-back; xterm batches internally)
+```
+
+Terminal frames share the daemon main event loop with all agent traffic. The `eventLoopDelay` block in the `ws_runtime_metrics` log line (every 30s in `daemon.log`) is the ground truth for "the daemon is busy" — p99/max there directly bound worst-case terminal frame delay.
+
+## Invariants (the easy-to-break ones)
+
+- **Coalescers are leading+trailing throttles.** The first chunk after an idle window flushes immediately (synchronously); only sustained bursts wait for the trailing timer. Reverting to trailing-only adds a full window (~5ms) to every keystroke echo.
+- **Output coalescing happens in the worker, before IPC.** One `process.send` per pty chunk was a main-loop flood under build output. Non-output messages (snapshot/snapshotReady/titleChange/exit) must flush the coalescer first so ordering is preserved.
+- **Coalesced output carries the LAST chunk's revision.** Snapshot replay dedup (`replayTerminalOutputAfterSnapshot`) skips buffered output with `revision <= replayRevision`; a merged batch with a lower revision would be wrongly skipped (lost output).
+- **The input-mode tracker runs once per process boundary, not per hop.** The worker owns the authoritative tracker; the daemon caches the replay preamble from `getTerminalState` responses and `snapshotReady` messages. Do not reintroduce a per-chunk `feed()` on the daemon main loop.
+- **Snapshot catch-up is backpressure-gated.** A stream falls back to a full snapshot only when `outputBytesSinceSnapshot > MAX_TERMINAL_OUTPUT_FRAME_BYTES` (256KB) **and** the client transport reports `bufferedAmount > MAX_CLIENT_BUFFERED_BYTES` (4MB). A client that keeps draining streams continuously, no matter how much output is produced. Before this gate existed, every 256KB of build output dropped a frame and forced a full JSON cell-grid snapshot (~200k objects across IPC) — the historical source of spiky lag and GC hitches.
+- **Client output writes are not serialized per frame.** The emulator runtime drains contiguous plain writes straight into xterm (which buffers internally). Only barrier ops (`clear`, `snapshot`, `suppressInput` writes) wait — behind a zero-length sentinel write — so resets can't interleave with in-flight output.
+
+## Measuring
+
+- **Node-only benchmark (fast iteration, server pipeline):** `npx tsx scripts/benchmark-terminal-latency.ts`. Boots an isolated daemon (fresh `PASEO_HOME`, random port — never 6767), measures echo latency percentiles, burst jitter, and snapshot counts under ramped mock-agent load. Writes JSON to `/tmp/paseo-terminal-bench/`. Healthy numbers (2026-06): echo p50 ~2.3ms, p95 ~3.3ms, a 2MB burst fully streamed with `snap=0`.
+- **Browser perf specs (user-perceived path):** gated behind `PASEO_TERMINAL_PERF_E2E=1` —
+  `packages/app/e2e/terminal-performance.spec.ts` and `packages/app/e2e/terminal-keystroke-stress.spec.ts` (per-stage keydown→xterm-commit breakdown under mock-agent load). Healthy: keydown→commit p50 ~18ms under 600-key burst.
+- **Production:** grep `daemon.log` for `ws_runtime_metrics` and read `eventLoopDelay` + `bufferedAmount`.
+
+## Known remaining contention (follow-up candidates)
+
+- A single large `agent_stream` message (e.g. a 250KB diff payload) measurably delays terminal echo (~100ms-class dips) — cost is split between daemon serialization and app-side parse/render on the shared browser main thread.
+- Relay-attached clients pay pure-JS tweetnacl encryption + base64 per frame on the daemon main loop (`packages/relay/src/encrypted-channel.ts`).
+- `sendToClient` re-stringifies session messages per socket; only matters for multi-socket connections.

 - Never re-run a suite another agent already reported green.

 - Never run the full Playwright E2E suite locally — defer whole-suite verification to CI. Targeted Playwright specs are allowed when you changed or need to prove that specific flow.
+- App Playwright specs share one isolated daemon per run. Helpers that create projects or workspaces must remove the daemon project record during cleanup, not only delete the temp directory. Agent helpers must pass the intended `workspaceId` through to agent creation; never infer ownership from `cwd`.
+- CI can shard app Playwright across multiple jobs; each shard still owns a full isolated daemon/relay/Metro stack from global setup. Helpers that restart the daemon must preserve the global setup environment, including disabled speech/local-model settings, so a restart does not change the tested surface or start background downloads.

 When the app fetches `direction: "after"` and the daemon responds with `hasNewer: true`, the app must immediately fetch the next page from `endCursor`. The catch-up is complete only when `hasNewer: false`.
