+# AGENTS.md — Paseo Server Development Guide
+
+For AI coding agents working in `packages/server`. Supplements [CLAUDE.md](../CLAUDE.md) at the repo root.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Paseo is a mobile + CLI app for monitoring and controlling local AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode). The daemon runs on your machine, manages agent processes, and streams their output over WebSocket to clients.
+
+---
+
+## Build / Lint / Test Commands
+
+### Root (monorepo)
+```bash
+npm run dev                          # Start daemon + Expo in Tmux
+npm run build:daemon                 # Build: highlight + relay + server + cli
+npm run typecheck                    # Typecheck all packages
+npm run test                         # Test all packages
+npm run format                       # Format with Biome (in-place)
+```
+
+### Server package (`packages/server`)
+```bash
+npm run dev                          # Start dev daemon (tsx watch)
+npm run build                        # Build lib + scripts to dist/
+npm run start                        # Run production daemon from dist/
+npm run typecheck                    # Typecheck server source
+
+# Run a SINGLE test file
+npx vitest run src/server/agent/agent-manager.test.ts --reporter=verbose
+
+# Run a SINGLE test by name
+npx vitest run -t "returns timeout error when provider times out"
+
+# Test categories
+npm run test:unit                    # Unit tests only (excludes e2e)
+npm run test:integration             # Integration tests
+npm run test:integration:all         # All integration tests
+npm run test:integration:real       # Real API integration tests
+npm run test:integration:local       # Local integration tests
+npm run test:e2e                     # End-to-end tests (excludes real/local)
+npm run test:e2e:all                # All e2e tests
+npm run test:watch                  # Watch mode
+npm run test:ui                     # Vitest UI at localhost:51204
+```
+
+### Other useful commands
+```bash
+npm run build --workspace=@getpaseo/relay    # Rebuild relay before daemon
+npm run build --workspace=@getpaseo/server   # Rebuild server
+npm run db:query -- "SELECT ..."             # Run arbitrary SQL
+npm run cli -- ls -a -g                      # List agents
+npm run cli -- daemon status                 # Check daemon status
+```
+
+---
+
+## Code Style
+
+### Biome (formatting only, no linting)
+```json
+{ "indentStyle": "space", "indentWidth": 2, "lineWidth": 100, "quoteStyle": "double", "trailingCommas": "all", "semicolons": "always" }
+```
+
+### TypeScript
+- **Fully strict** — no `any`, no implicit `any`
+- **`interface`** over `type`** when possible
+- **`function` declarations** over arrow function assignments
+- **Named types** — no complex inline types in public signatures
+- **Object parameters** — use single object param when >1 argument
+- **Infer from Zod schemas** — `z.infer<typeof schema>` instead of hand-written types
+- `noUnusedLocals: true`, `noUnusedParameters: true`, `noFallthroughCasesInSwitch: true`
+
+### Imports
+- Use path alias `@server/*` in server package (maps to `./src/`)
+- No barrel `index.ts` re-exports — they create unnecessary indirection
+
+### Naming
+- Files: `kebab-case.ts` named after the main export (`create-tool-call.ts`)
+- Tests: collocated with implementation (`thing.test.ts`)
+- No prefixes like `RpcX`, `DbX`, `UiX` — keep one canonical type per concept
+
+### Error Handling
+- **Fail explicitly** — throw instead of silently returning defaults
+- **Typed domain errors** — extend `Error` with structured metadata
+
+```typescript
+class TimeoutError extends Error {
+  constructor(
+    public readonly operation: string,
+    public readonly waitedMs: number,
+  ) {
+    super(`${operation} timed out after ${waitedMs}ms`);
+    this.name = "TimeoutError";
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### State Design
+Discriminated unions over bags of booleans/optionals:
+```typescript
+// Bad
+interface FetchState { isLoading: boolean; error?: Error; data?: Data }
+
+// Good
+type FetchState =
+  | { status: "idle" }
+  | { status: "loading" }
+  | { status: "error"; error: Error }
+  | { status: "success"; data: Data };
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Philosophy
+
+Tests prove behavior, not structure. Every test should answer: "what user-visible or API-visible behavior does this verify?"
+
+- **TDD**: Work in vertical slices — one test, one implementation, repeat
+- **Determinism first**: No conditional assertions, no timing/randomness, no weak assertions
+- **Real deps over mocks**: Database, APIs, file system — real in tests
+- **Flaky tests are a bug**: Never remove a test because it's flaky; fix the variance source
+
+---
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+1. **NEVER restart the daemon on port 6767** — it kills your own process
+2. **NEVER assume timeouts need a restart** — they can be transient
+3. **Always run `npm run typecheck` after changes**
+4. **NEVER add auth checks to tests** — agent providers handle their own auth
+5. **NEVER make breaking WebSocket/message schema changes** — always backward-compatible
+
+---
