* Wait for plugin reload completion instead of the request deadline The daemon answers plugin.reload.request only once the plugin is running again or has failed, and a reload queues behind other plugin lifecycle work such as an install with a preparation command. The shared client applied its sixty-second session RPC deadline to that request, so a slow reload failed with "Timeout waiting for message" while the daemon kept loading the plugin, inviting a reload the daemon was still running. Reload now waits for the daemon's own answer. Enable and disable keep the session deadline, and a real startup failure still reaches the caller. * Cover a slow plugin reload end to end The CLI fixture now holds its own git build on a gate file, starts a reload of an installed plugin behind that queued install, observes the reload request at the proxy, keeps the gate closed past the client's former one-minute deadline, and then asserts the reload's real result: CLI exit 0, the plugin running, and exactly one reactivation. Listing the plugin during the wait stays readable and does not restart it. A plugin that cannot start still fails its reload with the daemon's error. The request proxy that recorded install sources becomes a small observer that records any session request, so the wait is measured from the request boundary rather than from process start. Verified: npx tsx packages/cli/tests/e2e/plugin-lifecycle.test.ts exits 0 in 135 s; the same fixture without the new scenario takes 66 s. * Document how a reload reports its result The CLI docs now say `paseo plugin reload` waits for the daemon to stop and start the plugin, that cancelling the command or losing the connection does not stop the daemon's work, and that `plugin ls` shows the previous state until the reload finishes. The plugin reference records the lifecycle fact behind it: a reload queues behind the daemon's other plugin work, the daemon answers when the plugin is running again or has failed, and status reads, Settings and the logs are not the reload's outcome. * Cover the Settings reload wait end to end Adds a browser scenario for the ticket's user-facing half: with a gated git install holding the daemon's plugin lifecycle queue, the row's Reload goes out, the test keeps the gate closed past sixty seconds, asserts the row stays pending with no error feedback, then releases the build and asserts the daemon's plugin.reload.response and the app's "Reloaded e2e-plugin" result. The scenario turns plugins on through the daemon instead of the global switch, whose transient "Plugins enabled" confirmation is not its subject. The wait is measured from the reload request frame, which is an outbound frame, not from the response stream. Verified: npx playwright test --project=browser e2e/browser/plugin-management.spec.ts -g "keeps Reload pending past a minute" -> 1 passed (1.5m); plugin-reload-pending.png, plugin-reload-past-deadline.png and plugin-reload-completed.png show the pending row, the surface past the former deadline with no error, and the finished reload. * Correct the status guidance for a cancelled reload Review finding: the note said a listing keeps the plugin's previous state until the reload finishes, but that only holds while the reload is still queued. Once it executes, the daemon removes the plugin from the runtime catalog before stopping it (plugins/runtime.ts:377-382) and resolvePluginStatus maps an enabled plugin that is not running to "failed" (plugins/index.ts:71-78), so a listing read in that window shows failed for a healthy reload. Both passages now separate the two windows and say that neither a listing nor the logs report the outcome of the outstanding reload. The interim "failed" itself is TUC-1401. * Harden the reload coverage against failures and lost connections Review findings folded into the tests: The Settings scenario releases its gated build in a finally block. Before this, a failing assertion left the build polling forever, the daemon's plugin lifecycle queue stayed blocked, and the fixture teardown's own removePlugin timed out behind it. It also asserts the row's actions are enabled again once the reload settles, next to the result feedback. The connection-close regression now reconnects and asserts nothing resends the lost reload; the no-replay invariant already covered for legacy requests now holds for a pending reload too. Verified: npx vitest run packages/client/src/daemon-client.test.ts -> 161 passed. npx playwright test --project=browser e2e/browser/plugin-management.spec.ts -g "keeps Reload pending past a minute" -> 1 passed (1.4m). * Let the gated build finish before its files go Review finding on packages/cli/tests/e2e/plugin-lifecycle.test.ts:450: the finally block released the gate and deleted the gate directory without waiting for the install and the reload it had started. The build polls for the gate file, so cleanup could delete the release before the child saw it and leave the build waiting until daemon shutdown. The fixture now keeps both promises, releases the gate, and awaits them before deleting their files. Verified: npx tsx packages/cli/tests/e2e/plugin-lifecycle.test.ts -> exit 0, 161 s. * Read the reload scenario as intent, not transport code Review finding: the new browser scenario kept frame parsing, selectors, polling, deadline arithmetic, screenshots and gate cleanup in one body. docs/testing.md asks for complex setup in reusable helpers. The wire observation, the gated queue hold, the row-state assertions, the deadline wait and the surface captures are helpers now, and the body reads as the flow: open Settings, hold the queue, reload, still pending past the deadline, release, read the daemon's result. Verified: npx playwright test --project=browser e2e/browser/plugin-management.spec.ts -g "keeps Reload pending past a minute" -> 1 passed (1.4m). * Keep the reload lifecycle fact in one document Review finding: the cli.md paragraph repeated the queue and interim-state explanation that the plugin reference already owns. CLAUDE.md: "One fact, one doc. Every other mention is a link." The reference keeps the full explanation; the CLI page states what the command does and links there. * Release the gated build when its setup fails Review finding: holdPluginLifecycleQueue started the install, then waited up to 30 seconds for the build's started marker. A preparation that took longer made the helper throw before it returned its cleanup handle and before the test entered its try block, so nothing wrote the release file: the build polled forever, the daemon's plugin lifecycle queue stayed blocked, and the fixture's own removePlugin timed out behind it. The helper now owns that failure path: it releases the gate and drains the install before rethrowing, so a queue it hands out is always settleable. Verified on Linux (Chromium, Playwright): - With the started marker suppressed in a temporary local patch, the run fails at the 30-second marker wait inside the helper and the teardown still completes (both attempts ~33 seconds, no removePlugin request timeout). - With the marker in place, the scenario passes: 1 passed (1.4m). * Keep an early install failure out of the unhandled path Review finding: the marker wait in holdPluginLifecycleQueue ran before the install promise had a rejection handler, so a preparation that failed or a connection that closed before the build wrote its marker surfaced as an unhandled rejection, which fails the run before the helper's own catch can drain the queue. The helper attaches a handler the moment the install starts and races the marker wait against the install, so an early failure reaches the caller as the daemon's own error, a build that never writes its marker still fails as a 30-second marker timeout, and every path releases the gate and drains the install. Verified on Linux (Chromium, Playwright), patching the build command locally for each failure branch: - Early failure (build exits 1): fails in 4.2 s with the daemon's DaemonRpcError for plugin.source.install.request, no unhandled rejection, teardown completes. - No marker (build waits for the gate): fails at the 30-second marker wait, no unhandled rejection, teardown completes with no removePlugin request timeout. - Unpatched: 1 passed (1.5m). * Keep a failed launch from ending the run before its cleanup
Paseo
One interface for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi, Antigravity, and Muse Code agents.
Paseo is an open source agentic development environment for desktop, mobile, web, and CLI. Open the desktop app and work: agents, editor, terminals, diffs, pull requests, and a browser in one window. Run many agents at once, each in its own worktree, on one machine or several. The mobile app is the full app, native on iOS and Android.
- Parallel agents: Run many agents at once, each in its own worktree.
- Built-in orchestration: Agents in Paseo can create worktrees, launch other agents, and talk to them, across providers.
- Complete development workflow: Edit files, review diffs, open pull requests, and run terminals, in split panes you arrange how you want.
- Self-hosted: Agents run on your machine with your full dev environment. Use your tools, your configs, and your skills.
- Multi-provider: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi, Antigravity, and Muse Code through the same interface. Pick the right model for each job.
- Voice control: Dictate tasks or talk through problems in voice mode. Hands-free when you need it.
- Cross-device: iOS, Android, desktop, web, and CLI. Start work at your desk, check in from your phone, script it from the terminal.
- Privacy-first: Paseo doesn't have any telemetry, tracking, or forced log-ins.
Run parallel tasks in Paseo: start agents in separate worktrees, review their diffs, run each app, and check it in the built-in browser.

Plugins
Plugins run on the daemon and show up in every client you connect, with the same UI on desktop, web, iOS, and Android. Write a plugin once and it is on your phone.
- UI: screens, sidebar items, workspace panels, Command Center items, slash commands, composer pills, attachment sources, timeline items, themes.
- Agent lifecycle: change configuration, environment, and MCP servers, answer permissions, follow up when a turn ends.
- Providers: add a coding agent as a provider.
Install from the registry with paseo plugin add owner/slug, or from Git or a local directory.
Plugins run with access to your daemon machine and inside connected clients; install only code you trust.
Getting Started
Paseo runs a local server called the daemon that manages your coding agents. Clients like the desktop app, mobile app, web app, and CLI connect to it.
Prerequisites
You need at least one agent CLI installed and configured with your credentials:
Desktop app (recommended)
Download it from paseo.sh/download or the GitHub releases page. Open the app and the daemon starts automatically. Nothing else to install.
To connect from your phone, open Settings → your host → Pair Device.
Server
For a server, a VM, or any machine without the desktop app. Install the CLI and start the daemon:
npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
paseo
Paseo starts, then asks whether to enable the end-to-end encrypted relay for device pairing. If you decline, connect directly over TCP, Tailscale, or another VPN. The desktop, mobile, and web apps connect to this daemon like any other host.
For full setup and configuration, see:
Docker
Run the Paseo daemon and self-hosted web UI in Docker:
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
Open http://localhost:6767 after it starts. Extend the base image with the agent CLIs you use, then provide credentials through environment variables or the persistent /home/paseo volume. See the Docker documentation for full setup details.
CLI
Everything you can do in the app, you can do from the terminal.
paseo run --provider claude/opus-4.6 "implement user authentication"
paseo run --provider codex/gpt-5.5 --worktree feature-x "implement feature X"
paseo ls # list running agents
paseo attach abc123 # stream live output
paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # follow-up task
# run on a remote daemon; --cwd is a path on that host
paseo run --host workstation.local:6767 --cwd /workspace "run the full test suite"
See the full CLI reference for more.
TypeScript SDK
Build issue integrations, dashboards, and orchestration services with @getpaseo/client:
import { createPaseoClient } from "@getpaseo/client";
const client = createPaseoClient({ url: "ws://127.0.0.1:6767/ws" });
await client.connect();
const agent = await client.agents.create({
config: { provider: "codex/gpt-5.5" },
cwd: "/Users/me/dev/storefront",
prompt: "Review the current diff and name the riskiest change.",
});
const result = await agent.waitForFinish();
console.log(result.lastMessage);
await client.close();
See the SDK quickstart, recipes, and API reference.
Skills
Skills teach your agent to use Paseo to orchestrate other agents.
npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
Then use them in any agent conversation:
/paseo-handoff— hand off work between agents. I use this to plan with Claude and then handoff to Codex to implement./paseo-advisor— spin up a single agent as an advisor for a second opinion, without delegating the work itself./paseo-committee— form a committee of two contrasting agents to step back, do root cause analysis, and produce a plan.
