Mohamed Boudra 53c14d9855 Extract client SDK package (#1052)
* Extract client SDK package

* Polish SDK client identity defaults

* Build client before dependent CI jobs

* Restore daemon client server export

* Extract protocol and client SDK packages

* Fix provider override schema validation

* Fix app test daemon client imports

* Simplify workspace build targets

* Fix CLI test server build bootstrap

* Run SDK package tests in CI

* Fix rebase package split drift

* Restore lockfile registry metadata

* Update SDK config test for prompt default

* Move terminal stream router test to client package

* Fix rebase drift for protocol imports

* Fix SDK agent capability fixture

* Restore legacy server client exports

* Fix server export compatibility test

* Advertise custom mode icon client capability

* Remove server daemon-client exports

* Format rebased mode control import

* Fix rebase drift for protocol imports

Files added by upstream PRs (#893, #1147, #1154) referenced the pre-split
shared/ paths that this branch moves into @getpaseo/protocol. Redirect
those imports to the protocol package so typecheck stays green after the
rebase.

Paseo Glossary

Authoritative terminology. UI label wins. Don't invent synonyms; use what's here.

  • Project — Logical grouping of workspaces sharing a git remote (or main repo root). UI: "Project" / "Add project". Code: ProjectSummary (packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:22), projectKey (packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:16). Forbidden: "Repo", "Repository" as UI label.
  • Workspace — One concrete cwd on one daemon, with git state; belongs to exactly one project. UI: "Workspace". Code: WorkspaceDescriptorPayload (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2178). Don't confuse with: Branch (one branch can back many workspaces via worktrees). Forbidden: "Folder", "Directory" as UI label.
  • Workspace kind"directory" | "local_checkout" | "worktree". Code: PersistedWorkspaceKind (packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:8).
  • Agent — One AI coding agent run on a daemon (one provider, one model, one cwd, one timeline). UI: "Agent" / "New Agent". Code: AgentSnapshotPayload (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:608). Forbidden: "Task", "Job", "Run".
  • Daemon — Local Paseo server process; identified by serverId. UI: "Daemon" (system contexts only). Code: serverId in ServerInfoStatusPayloadSchema (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:1936), DaemonClient (packages/client/src/daemon-client.ts).
  • Host — Client-side connection profile pointing at a daemon; bundles one or more HostConnections. UI: "Host" / "Add host" / "Switch host". Code: HostProfile (packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37). Forbidden: "Connection" (means HostConnection, not host).
  • Project host entry — One row in a project for a single (project, daemon) pair, aggregating that daemon's workspaces in the project. Internal. Code: ProjectHostEntry (packages/app/src/utils/projects.ts:11). Don't introduce "Checkout" as a synonym.
  • Placement — One workspace's relationship to its project (projectKey, projectName, git checkout snapshot). Internal. Code: ProjectPlacementPayload (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2113).
  • Branch — Plain git branch. UI: "Switch branch". Code: currentBranch in WorkspaceGitRuntimePayloadSchema (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2136); BranchSwitcher (packages/app/src/components/branch-switcher.tsx).
  • Worktree — Paseo-managed git worktree (~/.paseo/worktrees/{name}); also a workspaceKind value. UI: CLI + paseo.json keys (worktree.setup, worktree.teardown) only. Code: ProjectCheckoutLiteGitPaseoPayload (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2092); CLI paseo worktree (packages/cli/src/commands/worktree/index.ts:8). Forbidden: "Checkout" as a synonym.
  • Repository / Remote — Internal git inputs (remoteUrl, mainRepoRoot) used to derive projectKey. No UI label.
  • Session — Per-client connection to a daemon. Internal. Code: Session (packages/server/src/server/session.ts). Don't confuse with: provider-side agent session log.
  • Profile — Internal name for the persisted shape of a host. Code: HostProfile (packages/app/src/types/host-connection.ts:37). Never user-facing.
  • Provider — Agent backend (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi). UI: "Provider". Code: ProviderSnapshotEntry (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:198).
  • Model — A specific LLM offered by a provider. UI: "Model" / "Select model". Code: AgentModelDefinition (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:187).
  • Terminal — Workspace-scoped PTY shell streamed over the binary mux channel. UI: "Terminal". Code: TerminalStreamFrame (packages/protocol/src/terminal-stream-protocol.ts).
  • Schedule — Cron-style trigger that creates remote agents. UI: CLI only (paseo schedule). Code: ScheduleCreateRequest (re-exported from packages/protocol/src/messages.ts). Don't confuse with: Loop (iterative re-execution of one agent).
  • Mode — Provider-specific operational mode (plan, default, full-access, …). UI: icon-only. Code: modeId in AgentSessionConfig (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:257).
  • Attachment — GitHub PR or Issue bound to an agent prompt. UI: "Attach issue or PR". Code: AgentAttachment (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:782).
  • Composer — The whole prompt surface for sending work to an agent. Code: Composer (packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx). Don't call this "message input" except for the text-entry subcomponent.
  • Composer input — The text-entry surface inside the composer. Code: MessageInput (packages/app/src/composer/input/input.tsx).
  • Composer toolbar — The bottom control row inside the composer input. Contains agent controls, attachment button, voice controls, and stop/send controls. Code: leftContent, beforeVoiceContent, and rightContent slots in MessageInput (packages/app/src/composer/input/input.tsx). Forbidden: "Status bar".
  • Agent controls — Provider, model, mode, thinking, and provider-feature controls for an agent or draft agent. Code: AgentControls / DraftAgentControls (packages/app/src/composer/agent-controls/index.tsx). Forbidden: "Agent status bar".
  • Composer footer — Optional area rendered below the composer input but still inside the keyboard-shifted composer layout. Code: Composer.footer (packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx).
  • Composer track — A contextual lane above the composer input. Specific tracks use the <thing> track form: Queue track, Subagents track. Code: queue track inside Composer (packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx), SubagentsTrack (packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx).
  • Attachment tray — The selected-attachments row inside the composer input, above the text input. Code: renderAttachmentTray (packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx). Forbidden: "Attachment bar".
  • Conflict — Two distinct senses; do NOT use the bare word in UI copy without qualifying which: (a) stale-write conflict on paseo.json ("Config changed on disk", code stale_project_config, packages/app/src/screens/project-settings-screen.tsx:593); (b) git merge conflict (no current UI string).

Inconsistencies (documented, not papered over)

  • CLI --host <host> description "Daemon host target" (packages/cli/src/utils/command-options.ts:5) blurs daemon/host; the app keeps them distinct.
  • WorkspaceDescriptorPayloadSchema.workspaceKind accepts legacy "checkout" on the wire (packages/protocol/src/messages.ts:2187) while PersistedWorkspaceKind does not (packages/server/src/server/workspace-registry-model.ts:8).
