* fix(server): harden Codex/Windows startup and provider resolution

Addresses #452, #443, #353, #418, #403, #221, #307, and locks in #284.

- Replace custom where.exe/which output parsing with npm `which@^5` plus a
  spawn probe. findExecutable now enumerates all PATH+PATHEXT candidates
  and returns the first invokable one. A WindowsApps-ACL'd codex.exe no
  longer wins over a working codex.cmd (#452).
- Make default provider isAvailable() check the binary instead of always
  returning true. Codex/Claude/OpenCode default isAvailable() now defer
  to isCommandAvailable() so missing CLIs surface as unavailable instead
  of throwing later from spawn (#221, #443).
- Gate AgentManager.resumeAgentFromPersistence on isAvailable() so a
  persisted agent record with a missing binary cannot reach provider
  spawn during rehydration. The daemon stays up and the agent reports
  unavailable (#443, #353, #418, #403).
- Drop --path-format=absolute from rev-parse callers and validate stdout
  through a shared parser that rejects multi-line output and unknown-flag
  echoes. --show-toplevel is absolute by default in modern Git;
  --git-common-dir is resolved against the command cwd. Fixes workspace
  registration on pre-2.31 Git that echoed the unknown flag and produced
  a two-line "path" (#307).

Tests:
- Real-FS executable.test.ts using temp PATH fixtures, covering the .cmd
  fallback after .exe pre-spawn failure (Windows-only) plus the
  null-on-no-invokable-candidate case.
- provider-availability.test.ts builds real provider clients against a
  temp-dir-only PATH for Codex/Claude/OpenCode.
- bootstrap-provider-availability.test.ts builds the daemon and triggers
  ensureAgentLoaded so it actually exercises resumeAgentFromPersistence.
- claude-agent.spawn.test.ts asserts shell: false reaches spawnProcess
  from the Claude SDK spawn override, locking in 39b56af4 for #284.
- checkout-git-rev-parse.test.ts covers nested-checkout resolution and
  the old-Git multi-line stdout case via a tightly-scoped runGitCommand
  fake.

CI:
- server-tests-windows now also runs the new and modified test files so
  the Windows behaviors are exercised on windows-latest.

* fix: update lockfile signatures and Nix hash

* fix(server): handle synchronous spawn UNKNOWN on Windows

On Windows, child_process.spawn() throws synchronously when invoked on
a corrupt or invalid .exe (e.g., a WindowsApps stub the current user
cannot execute, or a zero-byte file). The executable probe did not
guard the spawn call, so the synchronous throw rejected the probe
promise instead of resolving false, preventing findExecutable() from
trying the next candidate. This is the root cause of the daemon-crash
pattern in #452: codex.exe from WindowsApps would hard-fail before the
.cmd shim ever got a chance.

Wrap spawn() in try/catch and settle false on sync throw. The existing
error-event and exit-event handlers already cover async failure modes;
sync throw just needed one more guard.

Also adjust three Windows-only test comparisons that were asserting
platform-dependent string equality:
- executable.test: compare .cmd paths case-insensitively (which@5
  preserves PATHEXT casing, which is uppercase in production).
- workspace-registry-model.test: expect normalizeWorkspaceId(path),
  not the hardcoded POSIX form.
- checkout-git-rev-parse.test: normalize separators/case when
  comparing git's Windows forward-slash output against realpathSync.

* test(server): canonicalize repo root via git on Windows to fix short-name mismatch

realpathSync on Windows preserves 8.3 short names (e.g. RUNNER~1) while git's
rev-parse --show-toplevel always returns the long-name form (runneradmin).
Use git as the canonicalizer on both sides of the assertion so the comparison
holds regardless of how Windows exposes the temp directory path.

* fix(server): Claude is always available in default mode; SDK bundles cli.js

The Phase 2 change wrongly tied Claude's default-mode isAvailable() to
isCommandAvailable("claude"). Claude's default runtime does not use an
external `claude` binary — @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk ships its own
cli.js and spawnClaudeCodeProcess runs it via process.execPath. The
previous `return true` was correct; restore it.

Update provider-availability.test.ts to assert the truthful behavior:
Claude reports available even when no `claude` binary is on PATH.

Codex and OpenCode genuinely require their binaries on PATH, so their
availability checks remain unchanged.

Voice Assistant

A voice-controlled terminal assistant that runs as a single local service.

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Copy environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your API keys (OpenAI, Deepgram)

# Run development servers
npm run dev

# Open browser to http://localhost:5173

Architecture

  • Express Server (port 3000) - Serves API and built UI in production
  • Vite Dev Server (port 5173) - Hot-reload React UI in development
  • WebSocket (/ws) - Real-time bidirectional communication
  • Agent - STT → LLM → TTS pipeline with terminal control
  • Daemon - tmux-based terminal management (in-process)

Development

# Run both servers (recommended)
npm run dev

# Or run separately:
npm run dev:server  # Express on port 3000
npm run dev:ui      # Vite on port 5173

# Type checking
npm run typecheck

# Build for production
npm run build

# Start production server
npm start

Project Status

Completed (Phases 1-2):

  • Package setup and configuration
  • Express server with WebSocket
  • React UI with Vite
  • WebSocket client with ping/pong testing

In Progress (Phase 3):

  • Terminal control (tmux integration)

📋 Planned (Phases 4-9):

  • LLM integration (OpenAI GPT-4)
  • Agent orchestrator
  • Speech-to-Text (Deepgram)
  • Text-to-Speech (OpenAI)
  • Audio streaming
  • UI polish

See IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md for complete details.

Environment Variables

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key-here      # GPT-4 and TTS
DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-deepgram-key-here  # Streaming STT
STT_MODEL=whisper-1        # Optional: override to gpt-4o-transcribe, etc.
STT_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD=-3.0  # Optional: reject low-confidence clips
STT_DEBUG_AUDIO_DIR=.stt-debug # Optional: persist raw dictation audio for debugging
PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo        # Runtime state directory (agents/, etc.)
PASEO_LISTEN=127.0.0.1:6767  # Listen address (host:port or /path/to/socket)

PASEO_HOME defaults to ~/.paseo and isolates runtime artifacts like agents/. PASEO_LISTEN controls the daemon listen address. For blue/green testing you can run a parallel server without touching production state:

PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo-blue PASEO_LISTEN=127.0.0.1:7777 npm run dev

Tech Stack

  • Server: Express, TypeScript, ws (WebSocket)
  • Client: React 18, Vite, TypeScript
  • Terminal: tmux (via child_process)
  • AI: OpenAI (LLM + TTS), Deepgram (STT)

Testing

Currently manual testing via:

  1. Start servers: npm run dev
  2. Open http://localhost:5173
  3. Test WebSocket connection (green status indicator)
  4. Click "Send Ping" button to test communication

More testing guidance as features are implemented.
