* fix(desktop): preserve browser tabs across focus changes
Electron can replace a guest WebContents when a webview is reparented, which reloads the page and can race automation against a destroyed target. Keep each browser guest on one permanent paintable surface and make user and agent resizing share one canonical viewport.
* fix(desktop): recover browser surfaces after lifecycle changes
* fix(desktop): preserve resident browser lifecycle state
* fix(desktop): seed inactive browser viewport
The running dot no longer animates, and the machinery behind it is gone
rather than switched off: the shared refcounted clock, the theme-scheme prop
mapping, and the extra wave color all existed only to drive it.
Four affordances were tried and each failed for its own reason, which is
worth writing down before someone reaches for one of them again. Fading the
dot blends it toward the row's surface rather than toward black, so the
bottom of every cycle was a washed-out blue that read as the success dot one
row up. Dropping chroma holds brightness but turns the low point grey.
Raising chroma has nowhere to go: blue at these lightnesses is already within
11% of the sRGB gamut edge, so the only real headroom is at the hue-250 cusp,
which costs lightness. An expanding ring solved the color problem outright —
motion cannot be confused with another hue — but stayed too subtle at a size
that suits an 8pt dot sitting beside a title.
If the ring is revisited: the project badge shell clips its contents to 12pt,
which is what made the first attempt invisible on exactly the rows most
likely to be on screen. The clip is not what makes the shell read as a
knockout; its fill is.
* fix(server): finish subagents the parent transcript can never end
A skill-spawned subagent — a /code-review run, for example — has no Task
tool_use for the parent to record, so its sidecar carries no toolUseId
and its id appears nowhere in the parent transcript. Replay resolved no
link, emitted no status observation, and the store defaulted the
descriptor to running. The subagents track then reported a running child
on every reopen, days after it had finished, and the archive dialog
offered to stop it.
Paseo only records an outcome for a child whose Task call it parsed out
of the parent, so a child with no Task call is one no reader can finish.
Resolve identity and status together and mark those completed. A child
that does have a Task call but no result yet is the opposite case — the
parent was interrupted mid-Task — and keeps running.
Keying on "no Task call for this id" rather than "no toolUseId" also
covers legacy grandchildren. Across 554 recorded subagent transcripts,
5 stuck rows had no toolUseId and 8 more named a Task call made inside a
sibling's session; none of the 13 has a recoverable tool_result in the
parent.

* Release the audio session when voice capture and playback go idle
Opening Paseo permanently paused music playing in other apps. Once the
mic had been used a single time, every subsequent foreground of the app
killed the user's audio again until the app was force-quit.
iOS AudioEngine.setupAudioSession() takes .playAndRecord/.voiceChat — a
non-mixing category — and calls setActive(true), but the only
setActive(false) was reachable from tearDown(). Nothing handed the
session back after a normal dictation turn, so iOS re-asserted the last
category the app set on every foreground. The iOS module had no
app-lifecycle handling at all, while Android already had a lifecycle
listener; that asymmetry is what made the platforms diverge. Android had
the same leak in a different shape: AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN_TRANSIENT_EXCLUSIVE
was requested per recording and never abandoned.
Add releaseAudioSession() to both platforms and call it once capture
stops and the playback queue drains. iOS pauses the engine, calls
setActive(false, .notifyOthersOnDeactivation) — this is what tells the
other app to resume — then drops to .ambient/.mixWithOthers so any
implicit reactivation mixes instead of interrupting. The session is
re-acquired lazily on toggleRecording(true)/playPCMData, so voice keeps
working; resumeRecordingAndPlayer() re-activates before restarting the
engine, which keeps post-interruption resume intact. Releasing is
guarded on isRecording/isPlaying, and checkEngineIsRunning() now refuses
to start the engine while the session is released, since starting it
would silently re-take the session.
The JS wrapper probes the native module before calling, because a JS
bundle shipped over EAS Update can land on a binary predating this
function.
* Correct the iOS signing diagnosis in mobile-testing docs
The "No Accounts" error does not mean no Apple ID is configured. The
account can be registered in Xcode while its Xcode-Token keychain item is
missing, which Xcode reports as No Accounts and then compounds by falling
back to a stale cached profile — surfacing as a certificate mismatch that
sends you chasing the wrong thing.
Document the DVTDeveloperAccountManager log line that names the real
cause, the two commands that check what is actually configured, and the
build-unsigned-then-sign-manually stopgap.
* Reacquire Android audio focus when playback restarts
releaseAudioSession() abandons the AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN_TRANSIENT_EXCLUSIVE
request and pauses the AudioTrack once capture and playback go idle, but
nothing took either back. The next playback turn therefore ran with no
focus held, so the assistant's response competed with whatever the user
was listening to instead of interrupting it.
Add acquireAudioSessionIfNeeded(), the mirror of the iOS
activateAudioSessionIfNeeded() already called from playPCMData, and use
it from both playPCMData() and resumePlayback(). A null audioFocusRequest
is what "we released" looks like, so it doubles as the guard against
re-requesting focus mid-turn.
Reported by Greptile on #2866.
* Make Android playback focus reacquisition non-fatal
The previous commit dropped PCM data when focus reacquisition did not
return AUDIOFOCUS_REQUEST_GRANTED. That is worse than playing unfocused:
playPCMData is fire-and-forget from JS, and playAudio() settles on a
duration timer rather than a native ack, so the runtime acknowledged and
discarded a chunk that was never queued.
It also broke delayed focus. The request is built with
setAcceptsDelayedFocusGain(true), so AUDIOFOCUS_REQUEST_DELAYED is a
normal outcome, but routing it through handleAudioFocusBlocked() abandoned
the pending request and the later grant could never arrive.
Request focus, then play regardless of the result, and leave the request
outstanding so a delayed grant still lands via the listener.
Reported by Greptile on #2866.
* Track scheduled buffers so iOS actually releases after playback
releaseAudioSession() guarded on !speechPlayer.isPlaying, but
AVAudioPlayerNode.isPlaying stays true from play() until an explicit
stop()/pause() — draining every scheduled buffer does not clear it. The
normal completion path is processQueue() -> releaseSessionIfIdle(), and
stopPlayback() is only reached from the explicit stop() API, so after the
first spoken response the guard blocked every release and the session
stayed active. The music-pausing bug returned in full for anyone using
voice responses.
Count buffers that are scheduled but not yet rendered, decrementing from
the .dataPlayedBack completion handler, and guard on that instead. The
handler runs on an AVAudioEngine-internal thread, so the count is behind a
lock. Both stop() paths reset it, since stop() discards what is scheduled
and a stale count would block every later release.
Found by Codex review on #2866.
* Stop re-taking Android audio focus on every foreground
ExpoTwoWayAudioLifeCycleListener calls resumeRecordingAndPlayer() from
onResume, and that requested AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN_TRANSIENT_EXCLUSIVE before
looking at isRecordingBeforePause. Foregrounding the app while nothing was
recording therefore took exclusive focus back and re-paused the user's
music — the same "every foreground kills my music" symptom this change set
exists to remove, just reached through the Android lifecycle instead of the
iOS category.
Return early unless capture or playback was actually live when we
backgrounded.

Pi left task and direct subagent tool calls in the unknown detail shape, so clients rendered raw request and result payloads. Normalize execution calls at the provider boundary so the existing task card owns their running and terminal states.

The badge icon moved from `identityColor` to `identityForeground` when the
status palette was unified, because a stroked glyph on a surface has to clear
contrast against that surface rather than behind white letters. The helper
still expected the fill table, so it read teal as #368080 where the icon now
draws #3e6d6c.
The variant is per-scheme and there is no scheme to read from a Playwright
locator, so the expectation pins "light" and says why.
The sidebar row narrowed to services only and its display-preferences item is
now labelled Services, while the panel and menu that list both types are still
Scripts. That is two words in the UI for things a reader will assume are one,
which is exactly what this file exists to settle.
Checks stopped being a toggle. Showing the icon without its word is a real
third answer rather than half of "off" — the state stays on the row for a
glance and a passing workspace stops paying a word for it on every line — so
it left the boolean row-item record instead of widening it, and a stored
`sidebarRowItems.checks === false` migrates to the new "none".
The services item narrowed to actual services. It used to fall back to any
running command, but a test watcher running says nothing about whether a
workspace is up, and the item now says "Services" so drawing a terminal glyph
under that label was a control lying about itself. It reports the name rather
than the port because the name is what you called it. `health` was already on
the wire and nothing in the sidebar read it, so a failed check now turns the
whole item danger; where several services run, the failing one takes the
single slot, since a healthy one is the unremarkable case and any of them
says "this is up".
That narrowing is why the rename went through the code and the persisted key
rather than stopping at the label: the concept genuinely changed, and a UI
saying "Services" over a `scripts` key is the synonym docs/glossary.md calls a
design error. Both key migrations are tagged COMPAT.
The rest is the sidebar row's geometry. The show-more and new-workspace rows
each carried their own smaller, inset, less-rounded version of a workspace row
— 24pt of left margin, a 14pt icon column, `borderRadius.md`, one fill for
hover and press — which under a column of real rows reads as a mistake rather
than a distinction. They now take the workspace row's geometry, and the
show-more row asks its caller whether it is ending an indented list, because
the two groupings disagree.
Group spacing moved from margin to padding so a collapsed group gives it back
instead of staying spaced for content that is gone. SPACING gained a 0.5 rung
for the 2pt gap between rows.
Three systems were reporting the same states: a full and a muted status
tier in the theme, plus raw palette steps in StatusBadge and
getStatusDotColor. A PR icon was muted in the sidebar and full-strength
in the PR panel, and the Resolved badge used a theme-independent green
so it painted a dark block in light mode. The muted tier is deleted and
every status surface now reads the one token per signal.
Dots keep a band of their own. A dot is a few points of solid colour
with no shape to read and no label attached, and the running one pulses,
so at the status band's lightness it sat below the check icons and host
badge on its own row — backwards, since the dot is the row's state.
Chroma caps at 90% of gamut rather than 100% because at the edge green
reaches C=0.215 while blue manages 0.116 and the set stops reading as
one family; dark lightness caps at 0.72 because red desaturates to pink
above it.
Host badges needed a foreground variant of the identity table. That
table is tuned for a white letter on the colour as a fill; used as text
it cannot clear 4.5:1 on both themes at once, since light needs
luminance <= 0.183 and dark needs >= 0.212. The new set is generated on
the status family's exact lightness and chroma fraction, so a host name
and a CI check in the same meta row carry equal weight instead of the
brighter one winning the row.
Also: PR avatars had their own eight-hex palette and hash duplicating
identity-colors; workspace rows under a project group now indent to the
same rail as status-grouped rows; group headers are muted; and the
pulsing dot is faster and fades further.
Settings lost the workspace host when entering the app-wide route, while desktop bootstrap could restore a removed local connection before the saved registry was ready. Use the remembered workspace host for Settings and only register the managed daemon when its server is unknown after registry hydration.
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.
The mobile terminal stream readiness work made live focus and renderer state recreate the stream controller. A replacement controller could remain untargeted, so input reached the PTY while output stopped reaching the terminal. Keep the controller scoped to the client connection and expose current render state through stable callbacks.
* 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 archive response already waits for durable archival and owned-worktree cleanup. Assert those final states directly instead of racing a separate filesystem watcher with its own fixed timeout.
Beta tags now reach external testers without per-release dashboard work. Reserve distinct native build slots so successive betas and the promoted stable build can coexist under one app version.
Scale custom glyph paths in measured cell coordinates so box-drawing runs fill their cells on Android. Debounce daemon resize claims at the terminal pane boundary so keyboard layout animation sends only the settled dimensions.
Make provider catalogs compact and content-addressed so repeat launches can reuse the persisted snapshot instead of transferring it again. Remove eager global catalog loading and the stopped-agent defensive tail fetch, while keeping sequence-gap and reconnect recovery as the correctness paths. Add an opt-in production-ID Android profiling build for local startup traces.
Live Markdown block promotion discarded timeline positions, so merging a disjoint history window could sort the final block ahead of earlier blocks. Preserve the source position on every promoted block so timeline merges keep the response intact.
* fix(server): pin workspace file watchers to native backends
Backend auto-detection could select an IPC watcher whose subscription lock deadlocked the Node worker pool during watcher reconfiguration. Select the host-native backend explicitly so filesystem work, logging, and relay DNS cannot be starved by that path.
* test(server): cover native watcher production boundary
Route the existing real filesystem observation test through the same subscription function used by the daemon. This proves native watcher selection and reconfiguration with actual file events instead of only testing the platform selector.
* test(server): synchronize native watcher readiness
Replace fixed startup sleeps with a real tracked-file event barrier. Native backends can resolve their subscription before the initial stream is fully drained, so the integration test now begins assertions only after an event has been delivered and refreshed.
* fix(server): measure native workspace watchers
Route composer attachments through the shared compact menu sheet so headers and rows use the same alignment rails. Base the final-row padding on the device safe area to keep actions clear of system navigation.
The highlight is an overlay inside the pressable rather than a background on
it, because the node Reanimated animates cannot also carry a themed Unistyles
style. An overlay inherits nothing, so a rounded sidebar row flashed square.
Take the corners from the pressable's own style. The row already declares its
shape once, and a highlight that restated it would be a second copy free to
drift; highlightStyle is left meaning only what the highlight is painted with.
Corners apply before it, so a caller can still depart from the row's shape.
The trigger was a vertical ellipsis on compact and a horizontal one elsewhere.
Use the horizontal glyph everywhere: it is the wider shape, and it is the one
sitting above a menu that now presents from the bottom edge.
The button draws at 32pt, under the 44pt touch minimum, and three of them sit
flush beside the title, so the slop can only grow vertically — widening it
would put two buttons' hit areas over the same pixels.
Step the title and project name down one rung of the scale on compact, and put
the host on the project line. On a phone this header is the only thing on
screen that names the machine, because the sidebar carrying that badge is
closed. It follows each host's own badge setting, so a local-only setup stays
quiet, and it yields space before the project name does.
A project name that only repeats the workspace name is still dropped where the
two sit side by side, and kept on compact, where the line exists for the host
anyway. That made shouldShowSubtitle a verdict the header source was not in a
position to reach, so it now reports the fact: isSubtitleDistinct.
Drop the 60% cap on the project name. It resolved against a box whose own width
came from that same text, so it clipped while there was still room beside it;
flexShrink already gives up space only when there is none.
The server glyph, its identity-colour table and the muted label lived inside
the sidebar meta row, and the three stores that decide whether a host has a
badge at all were assembled at one call site. Both are about to have a second
caller in the workspace header.
Move the badge to hosts/host-badge and the resolution to useHostBadges. The
badge now owns its glyph size, and the meta row matches it, since it is the one
item on that line that also appears off it.
Selecting an item parked its action in a ref and waited for the Modal's
onDismiss to flush it. MenuOverlay returns null as soon as the menu closes, so
the Modal unmounted and onDismiss never fired: every close-on-select action was
dropped. Creating a terminal from the compact workspace menu did nothing at all.
Wait on a timer instead. The grace period was always about giving UIKit time to
tear the surface down before a native presenter launches, and a callback fired
from inside a subtree being removed is racing its own removal. The sheet had no
flush at all, so it was broken the same way for a different reason.
Rows are 40pt below md and 28pt above it. The split is on breakpoint rather
than presentation because the compact popover, which compactMode defaults to,
is worked with a thumb just as a sheet is.
Move vertical spacing off the row onto a new MenuPage, which also provides a
page's depth so the popover and the sheet cannot disagree about what a page is.
A row carrying vertical margin would serve both the edge inset and the
inter-row gap at once, and margins do not collapse.
Native font glyph bounds do not reliably fill terminal cells, and long box-drawing runs accumulate advance drift. Paint block and box glyphs from cell geometry while preserving the original Unicode cell model for selection and copying.
Sidebar rows previously waited for JavaScript-driven selection or navigation before showing feedback. Keep the transient highlight on the UI worklet while leaving activation, cancellation, and drag ownership with the existing pressable.
Clearing the hidden terminal input after multi-character commits can leave the keyboard's composing buffer intact, causing later changes to replay committed text. Keep the accumulated native value so subsequent changes emit only their appended suffix.
* fix(app): keep an open workspace menu from unmounting its own trigger
The sidebar kebab is revealed by hover, and on a compact layout the menu it
opens is a sheet that slides up over the row it came from. The row un-hovers,
the trailing overlay unmounts the trigger, and the menu's open state goes with
it — nothing is left that can close the surface already presented in the
portal, so a full-screen backdrop swallows every click until reload.
Lift the menu's open state to the component that decides whether to render the
kebab, and keep the kebab rendered while the menu is up.

* test(app): follow the sidebar and host badge redesigns in the e2e suite
Three specs were still driving surfaces that moved out from under them, so CI
has been red on main since the sidebar polish landed.
Display preferences became one row per decision with the options a page down,
so grouping and the host filter need that page walked first. Five specs had
their own copy of the two-line dance; it lives in the sidebar helper now, and
the host filter has its own opener next to the menu it belongs to.
The host badge is plain secondary text on the meta line and its identity colour
lives on the server icon alone, so the helpers stop asserting a tinted label
and a pill fill that the redesign removed.
Alignment rails are compared across canvas glyph metrics and SVG bounding
boxes, so the residual depends on the host's font; a 1px and a 0.5px tolerance
both landed on the wrong side of it in CI. Two pixels still catches the whole-
pixel offsets these rails encode. The compact sheet spec also read its rails
while the panel was still sliding in.

* chore(app): let a browser e2e run take a private Metro cache
Metro's on-disk cache is shared by every checkout on the machine. Editing one
app source file rebuilds that module against everyone else's cached output and
the Unistyles styles can come back desynced, which surfaces as alignment specs
failing with real-looking pixel numbers that go away when the edit is reverted.
E2E_METRO_CACHE_VERSION namespaces a run's cache without deleting anyone
else's entries, so the cache can be ruled out before a layout failure is
believed.

* test(app): stop the chat scroll helper from hanging on a stalled sampler
`scrollChatAwayFromBottom` waited on a promise that could only ever resolve
from a `requestAnimationFrame` sampler started by a `wheel` listener. rAF does
not fire while the page is occluded, which is reachable on a CI runner, so the
sampler could stall on its first frame and the wait never returned — the test
died on its own 240s timeout with nothing to read. A missed wheel event did the
same.
Settling the scroll before measuring is an optimization; the assertion after it
is what decides the test. Sample on a timer with a deadline so a stall falls
through to that assertion instead of consuming the test.

Pin the keyboard controller to the release that prevents stale keyboard positioning from leaving the composer underneath a keyboard that is still visible.
* fix(workspaces): default new worktrees to upstream refs
Use the daemon-resolved upstream as the untouched starting ref so unpushed local commits do not leak into new workspaces. Preserve exact base identity for fork remotes while keeping local-first behavior across version drift.
* fix(workspaces): preserve exact base refs in git actions
Resolve accepted display aliases back to the stored ref before comparisons and updates. Fail closed when a non-origin remote base has no explicit mutable merge target.
* fix(workspaces): reject conflicting qualified base refs
Display aliases remain accepted for compatibility, but a qualified ref carries remote identity and must not be canonicalized to a different stored upstream.
* test(server): make upstream fixtures portable
Keep the checkout-status fixture aligned with the optional upstream field, and select main explicitly when cloning a bare test remote whose default HEAD varies by platform.
* fix(workspaces): preserve exact upstream refs
Qualified remote refs now fail closed when pruned instead of switching lineage. Metadata accepts Git-valid upstream names rather than applying a narrower character whitelist.
* fix(workspaces): preserve qualified local base refs
Local tracking branches are exact upstream identities too. Keep heuristics only for legacy unqualified metadata so origin cannot replace a stored refs/heads base.
