 The QR code or pairing link is the trust anchor. It contains the daemon's public key, which is required to establish the encrypted connection. Treat it like a password — don't share it publicly.

+When a daemon password is configured, new relay clients send it in the encrypted `hello` message. This release still admits relay clients that send no credential so existing mobile builds continue to connect. A wrong password is rejected. The next release will require the password for relay connections after updated mobile builds are available.

 ## Local daemon trust boundary

-By default, the daemon binds to `127.0.0.1`. With no password configured, the local control plane is trusted by network reachability — anything that can reach the daemon socket can control the daemon. This is the same security model Docker documents for its daemon: the security boundary is access to the socket or listening address.
+By default, the daemon binds to `127.0.0.1`. With no password configured, anything that can reach the daemon socket can control the daemon. Loopback is reachable by other users on the machine and by some forwarding tools.

-The daemon also supports an optional shared-secret password (set via `auth.password` in `config.json` or the `PASEO_PASSWORD` env var; stored bcrypt-hashed). When configured, every HTTP request must carry `Authorization: Bearer <password>` and every WebSocket upgrade must include a `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: paseo.bearer.<password>` subprotocol. Browser WebSocket cannot set custom headers, which is why the token rides in the subprotocol. Health (`GET /api/health`) and CORS preflight (`OPTIONS`) are exempt. The password is intended for direct-TCP exposure (e.g. `tcp://host:port?ssl=true&password=...`); it is **not** a substitute for the relay's E2E encryption when traversing untrusted networks.
+The daemon supports an optional shared-secret password (set via `auth.password` in `config.json` or the `PASEO_PASSWORD` env var; stored bcrypt-hashed). WebSocket clients send the password in `hello`; the daemon sends no session data before admission. Direct connections still accept bearer headers and WebSocket bearer subprotocols for older clients. HTTP stays bearer-header based. Health (`GET /api/health`) and CORS preflight (`OPTIONS`) are exempt; `/api/files/download` and `/mcp/agents` use their own capability tokens.
+
+The daemon writes a new `$PASEO_HOME/local-credential` on every run with mode `0600` and removes it on shutdown. The CLI and desktop main process read it only for the daemon whose PID lock `listen` matches their connection target. A same-user process can read this credential, so the password protects against network clients and other OS users, not processes running as the daemon user. Protect `$PASEO_HOME` accordingly. Relay traffic remains end-to-end encrypted independently of password admission.

 Connected clients are trusted operators of the daemon user. File previews follow that authority: a preview request may read any regular file the daemon process can read, while keeping path normalization and symlink checks in the daemon file service. Workspace-relative paths remain a UI convenience, not a security boundary.

 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 1 keeps MCP and process environment outside the session boundary. Paseo shares one OpenCode server for ordinary agents and installs a daemon-owned plugin through `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT`. The plugin reads the exact agent environment and caller-scoped Paseo tool catalog from the daemon's private loopback bridge for each OpenCode session. Bridge context lives only in daemon memory and is removed when the Paseo session closes. The content-addressed plugin artifact contains no session data or secrets.
+OpenCode adapters target v1.14.46 and v2.0.10. V2 rejects binaries older than the tested 2.0.10 SDK at runtime selection. Runtime selection uses the configured command and environment. A recognized version is cached until provider configuration reload; a failed, timed-out, or unrecognized probe retains the v1 path and retries detection on the next operation. Load v2 code and materialize its plugin only after positive v2 selection; v1 sessions remain undecorated. Keep upstream SDK types inside the version-specific adapter. OpenCode owns storage migration; a missing native session must fail resume rather than create a replacement. V2 has no native archive/unarchive operation: archiving affects Paseo only. V1 retains native archiving.

-An agent with custom environment variables or user-configured MCP servers gets a dedicated OpenCode server. Keep that isolation until OpenCode exposes those values as session-owned configuration. Configure custom MCP with `mcp.add`; do not follow it with `mcp.connect`, which only toggles config-backed servers.
+Use OpenCode v2 execution events to trigger turn completion, with active-state and durable-log reconciliation after admission, reconnect, and while a turn remains active. Do not use `session.wait`: a healthy turn exceeding Node's HTTP headers deadline produces a transport error while OpenCode keeps working. The live event feed has no replay, and shutdown interruption preserves the previous idle outcome, so the session snapshot alone cannot recover missed execution events. Quiet streams are healthy: v2 heartbeats are SSE comments, not application events.
+
+V2.0.4 also removed the activation endpoint that gated a cold location, and a cold location registers its config-derived commands, skills, and providers asynchronously. Wait until `plugin.list` returns a populated inventory before reading the catalog or commands; an empty inventory means the location is still warming. Fail when the readiness deadline expires, including when an inventory request stalls.
+
+Paseo installs its OpenCode tool bridge through `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT`. V1 accepts a plugin file; v2 silently skips configured files and requires a package directory with a server entry point. Both versions use the daemon's private loopback bridge for caller-scoped tools. Bridge context lives only in daemon memory and is removed when the Paseo session closes. The content-addressed plugin artifacts contain no session data or secrets. V2 also needs this plugin when native Paseo tools are disabled: its prompt API has no structured-output format, so the plugin supplies a schema-validated final-answer tool.
+
+An agent with custom environment variables or user-configured MCP servers gets a dedicated OpenCode server. V2 supports session environment, but its MCP configuration remains location-scoped, so separate servers still prevent one agent from changing another agent's MCP setup. Configure custom MCP with `mcp.add`; do not follow it with `mcp.connect`, which only toggles config-backed servers.

 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.

 journeys remain outside the default mobile suite, alongside the compact sheet journeys above.

 Keep generated screenshots, recordings, and run logs outside the repository.
+
+## Stacked adaptive sheets
+
+`stacked-pairing.ad` opens the welcome screen's pairing sheet and then the root-mounted host
+confirmation. It first types without tapping the input to verify autofocus, then cancels the
+confirmation, closes and reopens the underlying sheet, confirms again,
+and completes the password retry. `stacked-settings.ad` checks the same return and retry through
+Settings → add host → Direct connection → Advanced. Run both on phones and tablets so both the
+bottom sheet and centered dialog are exercised.
+
+These integration journeys require the host-confirmation flow in the test app. Include both the
+sheet fix and that flow in the QA checkout when verifying them; the production sheet component
+has no dependency on the host-confirmation feature.
+
+Use a fresh English app with notification permission granted and first-use keyboard prompts
+already dismissed. Load this checkout from an isolated Metro. Start an isolated password-protected
+daemon and a local Wrangler relay with `--var 'PASEO_RELAY_UPSTREAM:'`; the checked-in upstream
+setting otherwise forwards traffic to the hosted relay, which drops password rejection replies.
+Set `PAIRING_LINK` to the daemon's `relay://` URI with an intentionally incorrect `password` query
+parameter, and `PASSWORD` to its correct password. This exercises password retry even while the
+daemon accepts relay connections with no credential.
+
+```sh
+agent-device replay packages/app/e2e/mobile/modal-sheet/stacked-pairing.ad \
+  --state-dir "$SHEET_QA_DEVICE_STATE" --session stacked-ipad --platform ios \
+  --udid "$SHEET_QA_IOS_UDID" \
+  --env PAIRING_LINK="$SHEET_QA_LINK" --env PASSWORD="$SHEET_QA_PASSWORD" \
+  --env OUT="$SHEET_QA_OUTPUT"
+```
+
+For Settings, first open Settings with Add host visible. With a saved host, open Switch host
+first. Use a second loopback spelling
+(`localhost` instead of `127.0.0.1`) for the same local relay so the saved host asks for confirmation
+of its changed connection. Pass that link to `stacked-settings.ad` with the same arguments.
+For an app with no saved hosts, use the original link; Add host is visible directly in Settings.
+
+Android uses the same journeys: copy each script outside the repository, change its context's
+`platform=ios` to `platform=android`, and pass `--serial` instead of `--udid`. Reverse both Metro
+(including the port advertised by its manifest) and the local relay ports. Keep driver state,
+artifacts, and sessions separate from other runs. These host-dependent journeys remain outside the
+default mobile suite, alongside the existing modal-sheet scripts.
+
+On iPhone, bulk replacement or bulk keyboard entry of the advanced URI field triggers a
+repeated-update error with both the parent and stacked-sheet implementations. Entering the complete
+URI one character at a time passed with both implementations; faster typing remains unverified.
+On iPad, replacing the field a second time appends text. For this Settings journey, use the
+native clipboard Paste menu, then continue the assertions manually. Dismiss the password keyboard
+with Done to submit when the Connect button is below the keyboard. The welcome pairing regression
+runs end to end without these adjustments.
