- Add classify.ts as the single source of truth for CLI invocation
routing (discriminated union, derives known commands from Commander)
- Remove all hardcoded command lists and duplicate path detection logic
- Simplify shell wrappers to dumb pipes (zero classification)
- Fix hot-start: use `open -n -g -a` (VS Code pattern) so second-instance
event fires when app is already running
- Fix cold-start race: pull-based IPC (getPendingOpenProject) so renderer
fetches the pending path after React mounts, instead of push event that
arrived before the listener existed
- Fix asar read corruption: unpack node-entrypoint-runner.js from asar
(Node.js v24 in Electron 41 can't parse package.json inside asar)
- Strip ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE from env when spawning desktop app from CLI
The Electron startup blocked on a ~2.6s synchronous CLI status check before
showing the app. Now the host runtime controllers (which probe persisted
connections) race against the bootstrap path — if the daemon is already
running, the UI comes online in milliseconds.
Also converts the desktop CLI spawn calls from spawnSync to async spawn
so the Electron main thread is no longer blocked during daemon status checks.
Add a "Full status" button in the desktop daemon section that runs
`paseo daemon status` via Electron IPC and displays the raw output
in a modal.
Also fixes Commander.js argv parsing when the CLI is invoked via
Electron's ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE — Commander auto-detects the Electron
environment and skips only 1 argv element instead of 2, causing
"unknown command" errors. Fixed by explicitly passing { from: "node" }.
The desktop app could time out connecting to the daemon on first launch
because the PID file advertised a listen address before the HTTP server
was actually listening. The supervisor now writes the PID lock with
listen: null and updates it only after the worker sends a paseo:ready
IPC message confirming the server is listening.
- Rename daemon-runner.ts to supervisor-entrypoint.ts
- PID lock acquired with listen: null, updated via paseo:ready IPC
- Worker sends paseo:ready after httpServer.listen() resolves
- Desktop polls until listen is non-null before returning to the app
- Remove PASEO_PID_LOCK_MODE and external lock mode
- Remove unnecessary env overrides (PASEO_HOME, PASEO_CORS_ORIGINS) from
desktop daemon spawn
- Reduce trace log bloat: inbound/outbound WebSocket messages now log
only message type and payload size instead of full payloads
- Supervisor restarts worker on SIGKILL (covers OOM)
When packaged, Electron's process.execPath points to the main app
binary which inherits the full app entitlements and UI lifecycle.
Resolve to the Helper binary instead so daemon child processes run
without inheriting the main app's entitlement/UI baggage.
