* docs(hub): drop the manual auth secret from self-hosting setup
Hub generates its authentication secret on first start and stores it in the
database it is already using, so self-hosters no longer run openssl or carry
PASEO_HUB_AUTH_SECRET between restarts. The variable stays as an override for
deployments that must supply the secret from a platform secret store; Hub uses
it without persisting it, so removing it resumes the stored value.
Also corrects a claim that predates this change: rotating the secret does not
invalidate execution credentials already issued. Hub verifies those against
persisted hashes rather than the secret, so only browser sessions end.

* docs(hub): lead with the local guided setup
* docs(hub): document XDG data directory
* docs: make Hub self-hosting the quickstart
* fix(providers): make catalog refresh deadlines configurable
Provider startup can legitimately exceed a fixed short timeout when catalog discovery has substantial initialization work. Give each provider refresh one configurable deadline covering availability and the complete catalog probe, and cancel named child operations before allowing retries so timed-out work cannot accumulate in the background.
* fix(opencode): abort catalog server acquisition
A provider refresh could expire while the helper server was still starting because acquisition only tracked the activity without observing its abort signal. Reject acquisition before transferring a server reference, while leaving the manager-owned startup reusable by the next caller.
* test(file-observer): allow native burst recovery
* refactor(storage): remove chat rooms and agent loops
This is the prerequisite cleanup for the storage backend migration. Legacy wire schemas remain temporarily so mixed-version peers can still parse old messages, while daemon callers now use query-shaped AgentStorage methods that can map directly to SQL later.
* test(cli): remove retired chat and loop coverage
* feat(hub): deploy canonical workflow bundles
Keep CLI deployment aligned with Hub's authored bundle boundary so validation and activation receive the same deterministic source files. Public documentation now teaches that boundary as the only configuration format.
* test(hub): assert validation diagnostics directly
* refactor(hub): deepen HTTP client module
* feat(hub): validate named agent configurations
* docs(hub): align Claude mode example
* docs(hub): name the Hub tools in workflow prompts
Every Hub workflow example now tells the agent which tool to call:
hub.reply for the user-facing response, hub.finish_execution to
complete the step and record structured output. Granting a capability
through allow_outputs makes the tool available; it does not make an
agent use it, and an agent that is not told answers in its own
transcript and leaves the step to its idle timeout. Explicit
instructions are what worked against real agents.
Classifier and other intermediate steps name hub.finish_execution
alone, so the docs do not imply every step must reply.
Drops the github.reply allow_outputs blocks from the GitHub examples.
The GitHub provider registers no output capabilities, so that
declaration never materializes a tool; those agents comment through
their scoped GH_TOKEN with gh, which the reference and trigger pages
already said. The read-only answer branch has no network authority for
that, so it only finishes.
Also quotes the "Request: ${{ paseo.prompt }}" prompt block in the
reference, which was invalid YAML as written.
* docs(hub): wrap triggering input in its own prompt block
Every Hub YAML example now ends its prompt with the raw triggering
message wrapped in <user-prompt> tags, as a separate block after the
workflow instructions. The agent can see where your instructions stop
and the request starts, which matters most on the steps that read
external Slack, Discord, and GitHub text.
The first workflow explains the convention in two sentences and points
at Hub security for the controls that actually limit an agent. Tags
label the input; they are not containment, and the docs do not claim
otherwise.
Replaces the earlier quoting fix in the prompt-blocks reference: the
message now lives in a block scalar, so the colon needs no quoting.
* docs: base worktree examples on origin/main
Every branch-off example now passes a remote-tracking ref. Paseo
fetches remote refs in the background, so origin/main is current while
the local main is whatever was last pulled, and base resolution tries
refs/heads first: an unqualified main silently branches off stale
history. The gotcha is explained once, next to the first branch-off
example in the worktrees guide; the other pages just use the ref, and
the Hub environment reference links there.
Also points the safety-gate classifier at the structured-output
section, which shows the output wrapper the finish call takes.
* docs(hub): configure Codex read-only through provider options
Hub examples described a read-only Codex step as mode: read-only. That
Paseo mode preset pairs the read-only sandbox with approval_policy
on-request, so an unattended Hub step stops to ask a question nobody is
there to answer. It is also not one of the modes the Codex provider
advertises.
Every read-only step now uses the provider-native passthrough proven by
the real-provider evidence in #3025: approval_policy never,
sandbox_mode read-only, web_search disabled. The security guide already
used this block; the workflow guide, examples, and reference now agree
with it, and the reference says plainly that a Paseo mode ID is a
separate surface from these options.
mode: full-access is unchanged. It maps to approval_policy never, so it
does not stall an unattended step.
* docs(hub): show a classifier choosing the repository and the model
Both routing jobs were only documented as caller-supplied inputs, so
there was no example of the thing people actually want: one read-only
classifier that reads the request, picks the repository it belongs to
and the model it needs, and hands both to a worker. Replaces the
caller-only model example, which the new one covers through its
override values.
The two axes are not symmetric and the example says so. A model is a
value, so values.selected_model goes straight into agent.model. An
environment cannot come from an expression at all: the compiler accepts
a literal name or paseo.inputs.<name> and nothing else, so each
repository needs its own environment and its own conditional step. One
classifier, exactly one worker.
Corrects the routing section, which listed environment among the fields
an agent output may select. It never could.
Also puts a blank line between adjacent steps and environments in the
deadline and repository-routing examples, and bases the daemon worktree
example on origin/main, which the earlier sweep missed.
* fix(website): keep development requests local
Canonical host redirects were applied to LAN-addressed development traffic, including inspector WebSockets. The redirected socket retained the Vite port and caused the development proxy to terminate when the public host timed out.
* docs(hub): order the workflow scenarios from simple to hard
The Hub pages were arranged by the shape of the configuration schema
rather than by what a reader is trying to do, which showed up three
ways: the overview opened on the storage hierarchy, workflow
configurations were split between workflows.md and a separate examples
page, and the examples that existed started with the hardest one.
workflows.md is now a ladder. One Slack trigger answering in a thread
stays inline as the first workflow, and nine further scenarios sit
under it as collapsible blocks, each a complete configuration adding
one idea to the one above: full access, repeated replies, a GitHub
trigger, two ordered steps, a typed input, two triggers, a classifier
choosing a model, a classifier choosing a repository, and last the
override composed with ??. configuration/examples.md is removed and its
configurations live there now.
Two claims in the old material were wrong and are corrected. Nothing
carries between steps except a declared output, so the planning
scenario passes its plan through output.schema instead of telling the
second agent to follow a plan it cannot see, and a worktree environment
creates a worktree per execution rather than sharing one. GH_TOKEN
authenticates the gh CLI but does not configure git, so the pages no
longer imply a step can push without a commit identity and credential
helper on the daemon host.
The overview drops the organization/connections/daemons/projects tree,
which concepts.md already owns, in favour of the smallest configuration
that does something. Hosting is now a link from the product pages
rather than a section in them.
* docs(hub): make GitHub access an explicit step grant
GitHub authority gets its own page. A step holds a token only when it
declares a github block — connection, repositories, permissions,
duration — and Hub supplies GH_TOKEN plus environment-only git
configuration, revoked when the step ends. No credential is ever
implied by the trigger source.
Rewrites the issue-to-pull-request scenario onto the block, repoints
the trigger, reference, FAQ, and concepts pages, and sweeps the Hub
pages for announcing sentences and compressed paragraphs.
* docs(hub): lighten dense reference prose
Restructure paragraph walls into short paragraphs, lists, and code
blocks: logout behavior in daemons, deploy paths and precedence in
configuration, install limits and dispatch fields in the API page,
required outputs and partial resolution in the reference, and the
policy translation and secrets guidance in security. Fixes two
remaining trigger-derived credential claims in triggers/index.
* fix(nix): update npm dependency hash
* docs(hub): document shared prompts and authority defaults
Beta testers had to find prerelease assets on GitHub by hand. The
download page now carries a Stable/Beta switch, with stable staying the
default and the canonical URL.
The channel lives in the URL (?channel=beta) rather than client state so
maintainers can link someone straight to it. That link outlives the beta
it was shared for, so the switch only renders while the newest
prerelease leads stable on its core version, and a stale ?channel=beta
falls back to stable instead of serving a promoted version twice.
"What's new" deep-links the minor group anchor (/changelog#release-0.3),
not the exact entry: promotion rewrites the -beta.N entry in place, so
that anchor dies while the group survives — and the group is the
stable-to-beta diff a beta downloader came to read. A version missing
from the bundled changelog links plain /changelog rather than a dead
anchor, which covers the window between a tag going public and the site
redeploying.
Homebrew, the app stores, and the web app have no beta, so the Beta view
drops those rows instead of showing inert placeholders.
* feat(website): nest docs pages under landable groups
The docs sidebar could already render groups from subdirectories in
public-docs, but nothing used it because every doc was a flat file, and
two things stopped it being usable.
A group had no page of its own, so its label was only a toggle and its
name came from the directory name via formatLabel. A directory's
index.md now supplies the group's label, order, and href, which makes
the group landable and lets the label be authored rather than derived.
Categories and top-level directories named the same thing, so a
categorised doc at hub/index.md produced a group nested inside its own
category. Only directories below the top level become groups now.
Also fixes two behaviours in the sidebar:
- The open/closed effect assigned containsActive on every change, so a
group you expanded to browse collapsed the moment you navigated
anywhere else. Navigating in now opens a group and navigating away
leaves it alone.
- The sidebar scrolls independently of the page and never scrolled the
active entry into view, so loading or refreshing a page far down the
list left the sidebar parked at the top with no visible position.
The group row is a single target: it navigates and expands, and
collapses when clicked again from the page it points at. A separate
chevron button would put two actions a few pixels apart.
* docs(hub): document Hub
Adds a Hub section covering what it is, how it works, daemons,
triggers, configuration, activity, and the two ways to run it.
The section separates using Hub from running it. Overview, quickstart,
daemons, triggers, and configuration hold regardless of who operates
the deployment; the self-hosting branch owns deploying the service and
creating the GitHub, Slack, and Discord apps it talks to. That split
falls on a real seam, because those apps are exactly what a hosted Hub
would own on your behalf. Hosted is a placeholder until it ships.
Each provider gets a trigger page carrying its events, filter
semantics, and the full paseo.event.* reference for the data a prompt
can read. That data is the thing a config author actually needs and
the thing they cannot get from anywhere else.
Every YAML block was parsed against the Hub config schema rather than
eyeballed, which kept several plausible-looking things out of the
docs: worktree prNumber takes a literal number and not a merge
variable, only daemon environments run today, and github.push has no
actor so it can never satisfy the required from_users filter.
Troubleshooting moves to order 90 so it stays last.
* refactor(website): let the active docs entry scroll itself into view
The layout queried the sidebar for the active entry after every
navigation, which coupled it to when that entry mounts. A link inside a
collapsed group only mounts once the group's own effect opens it, so
the query could run against a DOM that does not contain it yet.
Moving the scroll to the entry removes the ordering question rather
than answering it, and drops the ref and the cross-component query.
Reported by Greptile on #2864. The failure it described does not
reproduce: navigating from a page outside a collapsed group into one of
its children still scrolls correctly, verified with the group confirmed
collapsed and the sidebar forced to the top. The coupling was real even
though the bug was not.
* docs(hub): stop listing BETTER_AUTH_URL as required
It falls back to PASEO_CLOUD_PUBLIC_URL, so a deployment that sets the
public origin already has a correct auth base URL. Listing it as
required made the Fly recipe look incomplete when it was not.
Moved to optional with its default, and recorded what actually breaks
without BETTER_AUTH_SECRET: the auth routes close and nobody can sign
in.
Reported by Codex on #2864, which read the same inconsistency the other
way round and proposed adding the variable to the Fly example.
* docs(hub): attach a database in the Fly recipe
The Fly section showed inline config and a secrets command, neither of
which supplied DATABASE_URL. It defaults to localhost:5432, which on
Fly reaches nothing, so the documented deployment could not start.
fly postgres attach sets DATABASE_URL as a secret, so the step is the
attach itself rather than another variable to copy.
Reported by Codex on #2864.
* docs: align Hub self-hosting contract
The Cloud page pitched a hosted multi-user product and collected emails
through a signup form. The Hub is a self-hosted service in private beta
and the only way in is a Discord DM, so the signup server function and
its webhook are deleted rather than repointed. /cloud now 301s to /hub
from the worker entry, which already owns the site's permanent path
redirects, so old links and search results keep working.
The homepage also drops split panels, service proxy, voice, and keyboard
shortcuts. They had turned the page into a feature list; it should show
what Paseo enables at a high level.
Brand and provider icons move into shared modules so the Hub page, the
site header, and the landing page each use one copy instead of three.
