* docs(hub): document per-execution worktree branch names
Hub now materializes `${{ paseo.execution.id }}` inside a daemon
environment's `worktree.newBranch` before it persists or dispatches the
launch, so a reusable branch-off environment can get a stable branch per
execution instead of every trigger contending for one literal name.
The reference states the constraint precisely because it is the part the
YAML cannot show: `newBranch` accepts that one execution-scoped path and
nothing else, and any other expression fails bundle activation with the
authored file and field in the error. Literal branch names stay valid.
* docs(hub): reshape the per-execution worktree branch docs
Split the two pages by the job each reader is doing. The daemon page is a
task guide, so it now carries the worktree YAML and only the two facts
that reader needs to choose a branch name, then links out. The reference
owns the exhaustive contract at the `newBranch` field: a table contrasting
a literal with the template, then the accepted expression scope and what
activation rejects.
Dropped the render-before-dispatch ordering. Readers cannot act on where
Hub materializes the value; the reachable behavior is that a retried or
recovered execution keeps its branch, which is what the table says.
* docs(hub): make the per-execution worktree branch the only guidance
A branch-off Hub environment that aims every execution at one branch name
is not a configuration worth teaching, so the docs no longer present it as
an alternative. Both pages now show `newBranch: trigger-${{ paseo.execution.id }}`
and say what it does, with no literal-branch example and no comparison.
The reference keeps the field's type as a bare syntax fact, along with the
accepted expression, what activation rejects, and the authored field the
failure names.

Daemons in Hub
A daemon is one of your machines running the Paseo daemon. Enroll it once with your Hub organization, then any project can reference it.
Connect
Log in from the machine first:
paseo hub login https://hub.example.com
The CLI prints a URL and a verification code and opens your browser. The approved login is stored under PASEO_HOME. Then enroll the daemon:
paseo hub connect
connect uses the active login to request a single-use enrollment token. The daemon exchanges it for its own relationship credential; your CLI login is never stored as daemon authority.
Hub derives the daemon's initial slug from its hostname. If that slug is already used in the organization, Hub adds a short daemon ID suffix. You can rename the daemon later in Hub.
Each daemon has two identifiers: an immutable generated ID and a friendly slug. Hub normalizes slugs with lowercase words joined by hyphens, so Build Studio becomes build-studio. The slug is what the dashboard shows and what configuration references.
You can rename the slug later without changing the daemon ID. Renaming after a configuration is active means updating that configuration.
For unattended setup, pass an organization API key without storing it:
PASEO_HUB_URL=https://hub.example.com PASEO_HUB_API_KEY=paseo_pk_... paseo hub connect
Origin precedence is explicit [origin], PASEO_HUB_URL, active stored login, then https://hub.paseo.sh. An explicit --api-key <secret> takes precedence over the environment and an exact-origin stored login.
Check and undo:
paseo hub status
paseo hub disconnect
paseo hub disconnect --force # drop local authority when Hub is unreachable
One daemon has one Hub relationship. Connecting a daemon that already has one is refused.
paseo hub logout removes the active CLI login. The daemon's relationship is a separate identity and stays connected.
In an interactive terminal, logout offers to disconnect a daemon enrolled with the same Hub. Accepting disconnects first and then deletes the login, so a failed disconnection keeps your credential. Declining removes only the login.
Noninteractive and --json logout never disconnect implicitly:
paseo hub logout --disconnect-daemon # remove both identities
paseo hub logout --disconnect-daemon --force # drop local authority when Hub is unreachable
Reference it from configuration
environments:
dev:
kind: daemon
daemon: my-macbook
cwd: /Users/you/code/your-repo
daemon is the friendly slug. It resolves to the immutable daemon ID when the configuration activates, so a daemon that no longer exists fails activation instead of failing at dispatch.
cwd is a path on that machine. Hub does not clone anything for you; the directory must already exist.
To keep executions off your working tree, add a worktree:
worktree:
mode: branch-off
newBranch: trigger-${{ paseo.execution.id }}
base: origin/main
${{ paseo.execution.id }} renders the execution's UUID, so every execution gets its own branch off origin/main.
Environment fields lists what newBranch accepts. See Git worktrees for setup hooks and scripts.
What Hub owns
For agents it dispatched, Hub owns creation, reconnect recovery, output observation, and completion. Agents you start yourself are untouched.
If Hub loses the create response, or the daemon restarts mid-execution, Hub resends the same create intent with the same execution id. The daemon returns the existing agent rather than running the prompt again. An agent that closed or errored is recorded as interrupted; Hub never silently starts a second one.
Status
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Approval required | The CLI is waiting for you to approve the code |
| Connected | Online and accepting dispatch |
| Offline | Enrolled but not currently connected |
| Revoked | Access removed from Hub |
An event that arrives while a daemon is offline fails dispatch with daemon_not_connected. Nothing is queued for later. The event is in the project's Activity, and the trigger has to fire again.
Revoking from Daemons → Revoke daemon ends the relationship from Hub's side. The daemon keeps running your local agents.
