Mohamed Boudra e1c769c018 Make password-protected daemons work across local and remote connections (#5393)
* feat(auth): authenticate daemon clients through hello

Give local CLI and desktop clients a per-run credential while remote clients send the host password inside the protocol. Keep relay passwordless admission for this mobile release so existing saved hosts keep working until the follow-up enforcement release.

Move password recovery for saved hosts into host settings and keep pairing credentials in the add flow. Include isolated web QA evidence for both flows.

* fix(auth): preserve Hub bootstrap and local credential expectations

Hub-owned sockets already carry admission; keep their hello handling synchronous through session bootstrap while resolving credentials asynchronously for ordinary sockets. Keep the resolver out of lightweight configuration imports.

Update CLI expectations for same-home credentials, let a rejected connection yield to another usable connection, and clear pairing secrets when add-flow targets change.

* fix(pairing): retain passwords across edits to the same target

Track the last valid pairing host while a URI is edited. This preserves an entered password for whitespace and partial edits but clears it when a different host becomes the target.

* test(auth): align local credential checks across platforms

Expect the CLI to authenticate through the credential in its selected home, and verify POSIX file modes only where Node exposes them.

* feat(app): move host password into a settings row with a modal

The host page rendered an always-visible password form above Name on every
host. Replace it with a Password row under a Security section below
Appearance; tapping it opens a modal with Save and, when a password is saved,
Clear. The connection-error callout keeps its guidance and gains a Set
password button that opens the same modal. Drop the unused
pairing.hostPassword body/reopen/saveError strings.

* chore: remove committed QA screenshots

QA evidence stays out of the repository; the PR body describes it in words.

* feat(app): keep the host password out of the host page

The saved password is connection data, entered only when a host is added. A
Password setting on the host page reads as the daemon's own password, so the
row, modal, and callout button are gone. A rejected host shows the daemon's
reason with guidance to remove the host and add it again with the password.
useHostMutations no longer exposes setHostPassword; relay imports still set it
inside the runtime.

* feat(app): show host connection errors in an error alert

HostConnectionError renders the existing Alert with the connection error as
its title. Auth rejections add the re-add guidance as the description; other
errors show the title only. The Overview and Connections pages share it.

* style(app): soften alert borders to half-opacity accent

* feat(app): size alerts on the button scale

Alert takes a size prop (xs/sm/md/lg, default md) whose geometry lives next to
the button's in control-geometry: one font size for title and description, the
button icon size centered on the first text line, button padding and radius,
and a one-line alert as tall as the button of the same size. Consumers pick
sm among settings rows, cards, panels, and modals, and md when the alert is
the whole page or sheet state.

* style(app): roomier, rounder alerts with a tight title block

Alert sm padding returns to the original 12/16 and every size is at least
borderRadius.xl. Title and description sit a small gap apart with no line
height override. The icon slot carries a zero-width text strut in the alert's
font so the icon centers on the first line for titled, title-only, and
description-only alerts.

* refactor(app): align the alert icon with a centered lead row

Drop the zero-width strut. The icon and the alert's first text (title, else
description) share one row centered on each other; the description and actions
sit below, indented by the icon slot width plus gap so they start at the lead
text's left edge.

* refactor(app): drop the unused Alert icon override

Paseo mobile app

Run agents in parallel on your own machines. Ship from your phone or your desk.

  • 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, and Pi 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.

Plugins

Add themes, workspace panels, commands, settings screens, and coding-agent providers with trusted TypeScript plugins. Install from npm, Git, or a local directory with paseo plugin install <source>.

Start with the plugin quickstart. 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:

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.

CLI / headless

Install the CLI and start Paseo:

npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
paseo

Paseo starts locally, 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. This path is useful for servers and remote machines.

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.

Development

Quick monorepo package map:

  • packages/server: Paseo daemon (agent process orchestration, WebSocket API, MCP server)
  • packages/app: Expo client (iOS, Android, web)
  • packages/cli: paseo CLI for daemon and agent workflows
  • packages/desktop: Electron desktop app
  • packages/relay: Relay transport and encryption used by the daemon and clients
  • packages/website: Marketing site and documentation (paseo.sh)

Common commands:

# run all local dev services
npm run dev

# run individual surfaces
npm run dev:server
npm run dev:app
npm run dev:desktop
npm run dev:website

# build the server stack
npm run build:server

# repo-wide checks
npm run typecheck
