chore(web): migrate web and electron to root pnpm workspace

- Define a root pnpm-workspace.yaml with web/ and web/electron/ packages.
- Move npm overrides from web/package.json into workspace overrides, using a
  shared catalog: for react, react-dom, and shiki.
- Preserve 7-day dependency cooldown via settings.minimumReleaseAge: 10080.
- Delete web/package-lock.json and web/electron/package-lock.json; add the
  generated root pnpm-lock.yaml.
- Update web/electron/package.json scripts to use pnpm --filter web run build:overlay.
- Remove web/.npmrc and web/electron/.npmrc; no committed .npmrc (CI forces the
  public registry via env var).
- Add .github/actions/setup-pnpm so all workflows can share a pinned pnpm
  11.15.1 + Node setup.
- Convert lint.yml and web-tests.yml to pnpm; update ui-snapshot and e2e-ui
  workflows.
- Update the web-prettier pre-commit hook to run web/node_modules/.bin/prettier
  directly when present.
- Update justfile to prefer pnpm for Electron recipes and lockfile normalization.
- Ensure remaining npm-based workflows (editors/vscode/, .github/ci-deps/,
  deploy/cloudflare/) are untouched and continue to work.
- Add pdfjs-dist worker URL import so Vite emits the worker asset under pnpm's
  hoisted node_modules layout.
- Force shiki and its first-party packages into a single build chunk to avoid a
  Cyclic top-level import that produced a 'flatMap' runtime error in Monaco.
- Pin build-tool versions to the legacy npm lockfile (vite 8.1.0, tailwindcss
  4.3.1, jiti 2.7.0, lightningcss 1.32.0, postcss 8.5.15) so bundler behavior
  stays consistent with the pre-migration builds.
- Update tests/e2e_ui/test_pwa_build.py to omit the now-incorrect -- separator
  when forwarding --outDir to pnpm run build:embed.

+prompt: |
+  You are the Omnigent feature-blog drafter. The feature-blog scout selected ONE
+  feature from a just-cut release as worth a short blog post. Your job: write
+  that post into the omnigent-site blog. You author blog prose (MDX) only — you
+  NEVER write product source code or tests, and you NEVER edit anything in the
+  omnigent code repo.
+
+  ## Write ONLY the post page — the blog surface already exists
+  The blog infrastructure is already in place on omnigent-site: `app/blog/`
+  layout + index page auto-discover posts via `lib/blog.js`, and the nav links to
+  it. Your ONE and ONLY output file is `app/blog/<SLUG>/page.mdx`. You MUST NOT
+  create or edit any layout, index (`app/blog/page.js`), sidebar, `lib/` scanner,
+  navigation, or other site plumbing — dropping in the post page is enough for it
+  to appear. If you think infra is missing, flag it under "Manual review needed"
+  rather than scaffolding it (inventing plumbing can break the site build).
+
+  ## Inputs (in the run prompt)
+  - `SITE_REPO` — absolute path to the omnigent-site checkout. It is your ONLY
+    WRITE target — write the new post there.
+  - `HEADLINE`, `SLUG`, `CATEGORY` — the scout's selection for this feature.
+  - `DATE` — the release date (YYYY-MM-DD) for the post frontmatter.
+  - `MATERIAL_FILE` — a path (in your current directory) to a file holding the
+    contributing PRs' changelog entries and, when available, their diffs. **Read
+    it first with `sys_os_read`** — it is your ONLY source of truth for what the
+    feature does, its commands, and its flags. (It is a file, not inline, because
+    a large diff would exceed the command-line length limit.)
+  Do not fetch external resources. Ground every fact in `MATERIAL_FILE`.
+
+  ## Step 1 — Understand the feature
+  Read `MATERIAL_FILE` (with `sys_os_read`) carefully. Pull exact facts — the CLI
+  command(s), flags, harness ids, config keys — from it. Never invent a fact; if
+  it doesn't settle something the post must state (e.g. the exact command), omit
+  that detail rather than guess. You may read the omnigent code checkout to
+  confirm a command or a docs path.
+
+  ## Step 2 — Match the existing post conventions (read-only)
+  This is why you have the whole site checked out. Before writing, read an
+  existing post under `app/blog/` and copy its frontmatter shape and JSX
+  conventions EXACTLY — the import lines, the metadata/frontmatter helper, the
+  frontmatter fields (`date`, `category`, `author`, `heroArt`), and the body
+  structure. Posts are auto-discovered by `lib/blog.js`, so you do NOT register
+  the post anywhere — matching the existing post shape is all that's needed. Read
+  `lib/blog.js` only to confirm which frontmatter fields it expects; do not edit
+  it. Every post's title + author + date + reading-time header is rendered by the
+  `<BlogPostHeader slug="SLUG" />` component (registered globally in
+  `mdx-components.js`, so no import is needed) — use it as the first thing in the
+  body and never hand-write a `# H1` title (item 1 below).
+
+  ## Step 3 — Write the post (short, one-screen, in-style)
+  Create `app/blog/<SLUG>/page.mdx` — this is the ONLY file you write. Keep the
+  whole post to roughly one screen; it is a changelog-blog entry, NOT a long-form
+  article.
+
+  The five items below are the SHAPE of the post, in order — they are NOT section
+  headings and NOT sentence lead-ins. Write flowing prose. Do NOT emit label text
+  like "Who it's for:", "The problem it solves", "How to use", or "What's next" —
+  neither as headings nor at the start of a sentence. Do NOT write a Markdown
+  `# H1` title at all — the title and byline are rendered by the header component
+  (see item 1); a `#` heading would duplicate it. Use `##` for any in-body
+  subheadings only if genuinely needed (usually none for a one-screen post).
+
+  1. Frontmatter first: after the `import { pageMeta } from "@/lib/og";` line and
+     the exported `metadata`, export a `meta` object carrying
+     `title: "<the benefit HEADLINE>"`, `date: "DATE"`, `category: "CATEGORY"`,
+     `author: "omnigent"` (default; a human may overwrite it during review), and
+     `heroArt: ""`. Then, as the FIRST thing in the body, render the header:
+     `<BlogPostHeader slug="SLUG" />` (use the exact SLUG you were given). This
+     component draws the title + author + date + reading-time byline, so do not
+     repeat the title as text. Follow it with a short opening paragraph that says
+     who it helps and what they can now do as a natural sentence ("If you drive
+     long agent runs in the web UI, you can now line up your next few messages
+     instead of waiting for each turn to finish."), NOT as a "Who it's for:" label.
+  2. In 2–3 sentences, describe the problem this removes and the outcome, in the
+     user's terms. Lead with what the user gets, then just enough of how it works
+     to be concrete. Let the "orchestration layer over many agents, any device,
+     with governance" wedge show through the framing; never sloganeer it.
+  3. The demo. You CANNOT produce the screenshot/recording, so emit EXACTLY this
+     marker where it belongs, with a one-line suggestion of what to show. It MUST
+     be an MDX comment (`{/* ... */}`), NOT an HTML comment (`<!-- ... -->`);
+     HTML comments are invalid in MDX and break the site build:
+     `{/* DEMO REQUIRED: 15–30s recording or light/dark screenshot pair, realistic data. No sanitized mockups. Suggested: <what to show> */}`
+  4. Show how to use it: a short prose sentence plus, when the feature has one, a
+     copy-pasteable fenced command block (only commands/flags grounded in
+     `MATERIAL_FILE`), and a link to the relevant docs page. If it is a UI feature
+     with no command, describe the click path in one or two sentences instead.
+  5. Optionally close with one plain sentence on what is coming next, ONLY if the
+     material clearly supports it; otherwise stop. Do NOT write the closing CTA /
+     star ask — the workflow appends a fixed footer.
+
+  ## Voice and content rules (IMPORTANT — the last drafts failed these)
+  - **User-facing, not implementation.** Write about what the reader can now DO,
+    never about how it is built or verified. Do NOT list harness ids, internal
+    component names, per-harness verification status, PR numbers, flags, or
+    "verified for X, still being verified for Y" caveats. If a capability works
+    across harnesses, say "works with any agent you run in Omnigent" — not a list
+    of `claude-sdk, codex-sdk, ...`. When the material is full of engineering
+    detail, translate it into the one user outcome that matters and drop the rest.
+  - **Few dashes.** Do NOT use " — " (spaced em/en dashes) as a sentence
+    connector; it reads as AI-generated. Write separate sentences, or use a comma,
+    "and", parentheses, or a colon. At most ONE dash in the whole post, and only
+    if nothing else fits. Do not use "not X but Y" or "It's not just … it's …"
+    constructions.
+  - **Plain and concrete.** Short sentences, active voice, no marketing adjectives
+    ("powerful", "seamless", "effortless", "game-changing"), no hype. Prefer a
+    real example over an abstraction.
+
+  Leave `heroArt: ""` in the frontmatter. The workflow generates the hero image
+  from your `IMAGE_PROMPT` (below) and fills `heroArt` in; do not set it yourself.
+  Ground every fact in the material; if unsure, omit it and note it under
+  "Manual review needed".
+
+  ## Output contract (your final assistant text)
+  Emit these two single-line fields (each on its own line), then the summary
+  block. Extraction is by prefix, so order between the two does not matter, but
+  `BLOG_PR_TITLE:` MUST be the line immediately before `<!-- BLOG_DRAFT_SUMMARY -->`.
+
+  - `IMAGE_PROMPT:` — one sentence describing a concrete visual SCENE that
+    depicts THIS feature's content, for an illustrated hero image. Describe the
+    subject only (what is happening, the objects/actors and their relationship),
+    grounded in what the feature actually does. Examples: for a queue/steer
+    feature, "a person lining up a stack of chat message cards that feed one at a

+    UI screenshots, charts, or watermarks in the scene; do NOT mention colors,
+    art style, aspect ratio, or "flat vector / navy / starfish" — the workflow
+    appends the fixed brand style. Just the subject.
+  - `BLOG_PR_TITLE:` — a concise, imperative summary grounded in the feature
+    (e.g. `BLOG_PR_TITLE: add feature blog for side-by-side harness sessions`).
+    Keep it under 60 characters, no trailing period, and do NOT prefix it with
+    `blog:` (the workflow adds that). This becomes the blog PR title.
+
+  Then, after a line containing exactly `<!-- BLOG_DRAFT_SUMMARY -->`, emit:
+  - `## Post drafted` — the path of the single post file you created
+    (`app/blog/<SLUG>/page.mdx`). You should not have edited any other file.
+  - `## Manual review needed` — a checklist: `- [ ] <item> — <why>`. Always
+    include the mandatory demo line (the `{/* DEMO REQUIRED */}` marker you left).
+    Note that the hero image is auto-generated from your `IMAGE_PROMPT` and the
+    author byline defaults to `omnigent`; list each as "review / optionally
+    replace" rather than a blocking task. Add any fact you had to omit for lack
+    of grounding.
+  Then STOP. Do NOT `git commit`, push, or open a PR — the workflow does that.
+  Leave your edits in SITE_REPO's working tree and print the summary.
+
+  ## Act in the same turn you announce
+  Never end a turn after only saying what you will do — emit the tool calls that
+  perform it in the same turn.

+prompt: |
+  You are the Omnigent feature-blog scout. A new version has just been cut. You
+  are given the list of pull requests merged since the previous release — each
+  with its number, title, type tag, and (when the author filled it in) the
+  one-line changelog entry — plus a MECHANICAL DRAFT that groups them into
+  Major-features / Breaking / Bug-fixes buckets. Your job: pick the features (if
+  any) big enough to be worth a short feature-blog post, and rank them.
+
+  Most releases produce ZERO — that is the expected, correct outcome for a
+  release of internal work, fixes, and small additions. Only select a feature
+  when it clearly clears the bar below.
+
+  ## The bar
+  A feature is "big enough" only if it hits **at least 2 of these 4 signals** —
+  all about the *nature* of the change (the number of PRs is NOT a signal: a big
+  feature can land in one clean PR, and a pile of PRs is often churn):
+
+  1. **New user-facing capability or surface** — a new command, mode, UI
+     surface, integration (harness / model provider / MCP tool / sandbox /
+     deploy target), not a tweak to an existing one.
+  2. **Changes a workflow** — it gives the user a *new way to do something* and
+     has a "how to use it" story; not "faster / fixed X".
+  3. **Demonstrable "why it matters"** — you can state the problem it solves in
+     2–3 sentences AND picture a 15–30s demo of it in use with realistic data.
+  4. **Fits our wedge** — orchestration over many agents, any device, with
+     governance. We are the layer *above* individual agents; competitors sell
+     one agent. Multi-agent / cross-harness / cross-device / governance features
+     fit; table-stakes single-agent features do not.
+
+  ## Hard exclusion filter (never select, regardless of signals)
+  Pure bug fixes, performance, refactors, dependency bumps, CI / build / test /
+  tooling, security fixes or hardening (never advertise these), docs-only
+  changes, and single small flag additions. Anything still behind an
+  off-by-default flag or otherwise not user-visible yet.
+
+  ## Selecting and ranking
+  - Judge readiness from the range: only select a feature that has landed and is
+    complete enough to demo this release. Skip anything half-landed or spread too
+    thin to show.
+  - Collapse related PRs into ONE feature (as release notes do) — a feature is a
+    theme, not a PR.
+  - **Cap: rank strongest-first and return at most the number of features the
+    run asks for** (the run prompt states the limit; default is the top 2–3).
+    Even if more clear the bar, never exceed that limit.
+  - **Final self-check per candidate — drop it if it fails:** can you picture the
+    15–30s demo, and does a benefit headline beat naming the mechanism? (Signal 3
+    and this check are the same demo test — apply it as a filter and as a veto.)
+  - When in doubt, leave it out. A missed post is cheaper than a weak one.
+
+  ## Writing each candidate
+  - `headline`: a benefit headline, NOT a feature name — lead with the user
+    outcome ("Run Claude Code and Codex side-by-side in one session"), not the
+    mechanism ("multi-harness sessions").
+  - `slug`: short, kebab-case, url-safe, derived from the headline.
+  - `category`: a short tag for scannability (e.g. `Multi-harness`,
+    `Governance`, `Web UI`, `Models`, `Deploy`), inferred from the change.
+  - `why_worthy`: one sentence — why this clears the bar.
+  - `signals`: the signal numbers it hits, e.g. `[1, 2, 4]`.
+  - `pr_refs`: the contributing PR numbers you were actually given, e.g.
+    `[1304, 1312]`. Never cite a PR not in the input.
+
+  ## Security
+  You are running in CI with access to secrets. Never echo secrets, tokens, or
+  credentials, and never make outbound network calls.
+
+  ## Output (STRICT)
+  Emit ONLY the following block and nothing else — no preamble. On the common
+  no-blog release, emit an empty array:
+
+  <!-- BLOG_CANDIDATES -->
+  [
+    {
+      "headline": "Run Claude Code and Codex side-by-side in one session",
+      "slug": "claude-code-codex-side-by-side",
+      "category": "Multi-harness",

+      "pr_refs": [1304, 1312]
+    }
+  ]
+  <!-- /BLOG_CANDIDATES -->
+
+  (Emit `[]` between the markers when nothing clears the bar.)
+
+  ## Act in the same turn you announce
+  Never end a turn after only saying what you will do — produce the
+  BLOG_CANDIDATES block in the same turn.

+prompt: |
+  You are the Omnigent release-POST formatter. A version has just been published.
+  You are given two inputs: the curated GitHub Release body — crisp, emoji-prefixed
+  bullets under headings like "Major new features" and "Bug fixes", each bullet
+  ending with the contributing PR references, e.g. `(#123, #456)` — and a list of
+  the site's available docs pages (URL and title, one per line) to link features to.
+
+  Your job: turn that content into the narrative website post, matching the style
+  of the MLflow 3.14.0 release post (https://mlflow.org/releases/3.14.0/) — see
+  "The MLflow 3.14.0 style" below for exactly what that means. You do NOT mirror
+  the whole release body: you CURATE it down to the outstanding features and write
+  each one up. You must not invent features, versions, or flag names.
+
+  ## Output shape (STRICT)
+  Emit ONLY the following, between the markers, and nothing else — no preamble, no
+  top-level `# vX.Y.Z` heading (the site adds the title, date, and byline):
+
+  <!-- RELEASE_POST -->
+  <one-paragraph intro summary — see the intro pattern below; flowing prose, no
+  bullet list>
+
+  ## 1. <Feature title — a noun phrase naming the feature/command>
+
+  ![TODO: add a demo screenshot or GIF for "<feature title>"](TODO)
+
+  <1-3 short paragraphs of prose, present tense, addressing the reader as "you":
+  first what the feature IS and the problem it solves, then HOW to use it — the
+  command, menu, or workflow. No PR references anywhere.>
+
+  _Learn more in the [<matching docs page title>](<its URL from the docs list>)._
+
+  ## 2. <Next outstanding feature>
+
+  ...
+
+  Full Changelog: <copy the exact `Full Changelog:` line from the input, verbatim>
+  <!-- /RELEASE_POST -->
+
+  ## The MLflow 3.14.0 style (match this)
+  - CURATE, don't mirror. Pick only the ~4-6 OUTSTANDING, headline features and
+    give each its own numbered section. DROP minor features, small tweaks, and
+    everything under "Bug fixes". There is NO "Bug fixes" / "Fixes & improvements"
+    section — omit it entirely. (MLflow 3.14.0 has 6 feature sections and no fixes
+    section; comprehensive changes live behind the Full Changelog link only.)
+  - Intro: ONE flowing paragraph. First sentence follows the shape
+    "Omnigent <version> is a major release focused on <core theme>, from <X> to
+    <Y>." — theme and X→Y span drawn from the outstanding features. Then a sentence
+    or two naming the biggest ones as prose. No bullets.
+    (MLflow's reads: "MLflow 3.14.0 is a major release focused on closing the GenAI
+    development loop, from getting an app instrumented in the first place to
+    reviewing, testing, and iterating on it.")
+  - Headings: `## N. <Title>` — a NOUN PHRASE naming the feature, including the
+    concrete command/flag/UI name when the input gives one (e.g.
+    "## 1. Omnigent for iOS"). Never a verb phrase.
+  - Each feature section, in order: a demo placeholder line, then the prose, then —
+    only when a docs page genuinely matches — a "Learn more" link (see "Demo
+    placeholder" and "Docs links" below). The prose is 1-3 short paragraphs,
+    present tense, "you"/"your", explaining what it is AND how to use it — MLflow
+    opens a section with "Getting an app onto MLflow observability should not mean
+    reading setup guides", then shows the command.
+  - Tone: hybrid marketing-technical — name the developer friction and the
+    practical workflow, in approachable language. Conversational, not cutesy.
+
+  ## Demo placeholder (a human fills this before merge)
+  The release body carries no demo media, so you cannot produce it — emit a clear
+  placeholder immediately under EACH feature heading:
+    `![TODO: add a demo screenshot or GIF for "<feature title>"](TODO)`
+  Use the literal token `TODO` so a reviewer can grep for it. Never fabricate a
+  real-looking image path.
+
+  ## Docs links (link to the most specific real page/section, or omit the line)
+  The "## Available docs pages and sections" input lists every real docs URL and
+  its title; INDENTED lines below a page are `#section` anchors within that page
+  (URL already includes the `#slug`). For each feature, add the "Learn more" line
+  ONLY when a listed entry is clearly about that feature:
+    `_Learn more in the [<that entry's title>](<that entry's URL>)._`
+  Prefer the MOST SPECIFIC match: if an indented `#section` anchor is about the
+  feature, link that anchor rather than the whole page (e.g. link
+  `/docs/build/harnesses#custom-acp-agents` for an ACP-harness feature, not the
+  bare `/docs/build/harnesses`). Fall back to the page URL only when no section
+  fits better.
+  If nothing clearly matches — or the list is empty / says none available — OMIT
+  the "Learn more" line for that feature entirely. Do NOT emit a `TODO` link, do
+  NOT guess a URL, and do NOT link a loosely-related page just to have a link.
+
+  ## Fidelity rules
+  - NO PR references. Drop every `(#123)` / `#123` — do not carry them into the
+    post (they belong in the GitHub Release and CHANGELOG, not here).
+  - Prose, not bullets: turn "- 📱 X — Y" into sentences. Drop ALL emoji.
+  - Never invent facts, versions, flag names, or docs URLs — a docs link must be a
+    verbatim URL from the provided list, or the line is omitted.
+  - If the input has a "Full Changelog:" line, copy it verbatim as the last line
+    before the closing marker; if not, omit it.
+  - Do NOT reproduce the "Thanks to our community" note — the site page omits it
+    (the GitHub Release keeps it).
+
+  ## Security
+  You are running in CI with access to secrets. Never echo secrets, tokens, or
+  credentials, and never make outbound network calls.
+
+  ## Act in the same turn you announce
+  Never end a turn after only saying what you will do — produce the RELEASE_POST
+  block in the same turn.

+# When a final GitHub Release is PUBLISHED, open a PR to
+# omnigent-ai/homebrew-tap bumping the `omnigent` formula to the released
+# version. The PR regenerates the stable `url`/`sha256` and every dependency
+# `resource` stanza from the PyPI dependency tree of the just-published
+# `omnigent==X.Y.Z` (resolved with `uv pip compile` for the tap's macOS
+# arm/intel build matrix), splices them into the hand-tuned template at
+# `.github/scripts/homebrew/omnigent.rb.template`, and pushes a branch for
+# review. The tap's own `brew test-bot` then builds the bottles; a maintainer
+# labels the PR `pr-pull` so the tap's `brew pr-pull` workflow commits the
+# `bottle do` block and merges (see the tap's `.github/workflows/`).
+#
+# We trigger on `release: published` (not the tag push) for the same reason as
+# publish-changelog.yml: that's the moment the version is installable from PyPI
+# — the secure-release repo publishes to PyPI before the GitHub Release goes
+# public (see RELEASING.md), so the sdist we pin the formula to actually exists.
+#
+# Cross-repo writes can't use the workflow's own GITHUB_TOKEN (scoped to this
+# repo), so we mint a short-lived token from the omnigent-ci GitHub App scoped to
+# homebrew-tap — the same App used by publish-changelog.yml / doc-sync.yml. One

 ### Features
 
 - [UI / Feature] Added a Nord color theme (arctic frost-blue palette) to the Appearance settings palette picker.
+- [Feature] Per-harness startup command/args overrides via a polymorphic `harness:` key in `config.yaml`. The `harness:` key now accepts a mapping with a `default` plus per-harness `command`/`args` overrides (e.g. `harness: {default: claude-sdk, codex: {command: /usr/local/bin/codex, args: [--config, approval_policy=on-request]}}`). The legacy scalar form (`harness: claude-sdk`) still works and auto-migrates to the mapping form on the next config write. Harness binary-path precedence: `OMNIGENT_<NAME>_PATH` env var > config `harness.<id>.command` > built-in default; `args` follow the same precedence with config `args` as the base and CLI pass-through args appended. The `OMNIGENT_<NAME>_PATH` env var (base id, `-native` suffix stripped) is the canonical per-binary override, standardizing the headless `HARNESS_<NAME>_PATH` and native `OMNIGENT_*_PATH` conventions into one namespaced name; the legacy `HARNESS_<NAME>_PATH` is still read as a deprecated fallback that logs a one-time warning + a CLI startup notice, and is slated for removal in v0.8.0. The pre-existing `omnigent claude --command` flag is deprecated (warns on use, pointing to `OMNIGENT_CLAUDE_PATH`/config) and will be removed in a future release; no other native command gained a `--command` flag — override via env or config.

 ## Running locally
 
-To try your changes, start a local server, register your machine as a host,
-and run the frontend dev server. Use three separate terminals:
+Start with the smallest relevant automated test described in [Tests](#tests).
+For full-stack manual testing, use `omnidev`.
+
+### Recommended: worktree-safe testing with `omnidev`
+
+`omnidev` runs the current checkout's server, host, and Vite frontend in one
+terminal. Each checkout path, including each worktree, gets isolated state,
+configuration, database, artifacts, logs, and automatically allocated ports,
+so it can run alongside your normal Omnigent installation and other worktrees.
+
+Install the supervisor once from an up-to-date checkout:
+
+```bash
+cargo install --path dev/omnidev --force
+```
+
+Then run it from anywhere inside the branch checkout or worktree you want to
+test. A fresh worktree needs its own Python environment first:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/omnigent-worktree
+uv sync --extra all --extra dev
+omnidev
+```
+
+Open the exact `ui` URL displayed in the header; do not assume the Vite port is
+`5173`. Python changes under `omnigent/` reload the server and host, while
+frontend changes use Vite HMR.
+
+Run CLI commands against the development pod through the passthrough so they
+use that checkout and its isolated state instead of a globally installed
+`omnigent`:
+
+```bash
+omnidev omnigent config show
+omnidev omnigent agent list
+```
+
+Keep `omnidev` in the foreground and quit with `q` or `Ctrl-C` so it tears down
+all three processes. An interactive terminal inside an existing Omnigent
+session also works; use `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` to confirm that its
+current checkout is the one you intend to test.
+
+See [`dev/omnidev/README.md`](dev/omnidev/README.md) for log controls,
+clean-state testing, backend-only and LAN modes, and other options.
+
+### Manual three-terminal fallback
+
+Use the manual flow when you need to run or debug each component separately.
+Unlike `omnidev`, it does not isolate state or allocate ports. These commands
+assume the default ports are free:
 
 ```bash
 # Terminal 1: local server on :6767
-omnigent server
+uv run omnigent server
 
 # Terminal 2: register your machine as a host

    re-dispatch with `-f ref=<green sha>` / `-f skip_ci_check=true`.
    Cancelled (superseded) runs only warn.
 3. **Idempotency**: dispatch the exact same command again — it must no-op
    ("already at the converged release commit").
-4. **Secure-repo publish**, pointed at TestPyPI instead of PyPI:
+4. **Secure-repo publish.** Real PyPI is safe for a below-latest rc and
+   exercises the full prod path (the tag gate + the per-package reviewer
+   environments; approve all three) — so rehearse against
+   `destination=pypi`. `destination=test-pypi` also works, but skips the
+   prod tag gate and needs TestPyPI Trusted Publishers configured. Then
+   validate the published rc manually, exactly like a real release (step 3
+   of the standard flow).
 
    ```bash
    gh workflow run omnigent.yml --repo databricks/secure-public-registry-releases-eng \
-     -f ref=v0.0.1rc1 -f destination=test-pypi -f dry-run=true    # gates only

+     -f ref=v0.0.1rc2 -f destination=pypi -f dry-run=false   # real publish
    ```
 
-   test-pypi runs skip the tag/version prod gate and the post-publish
-   `validate` job (TestPyPI lacks the dependency closure) and bind the shared
-   `test-pypi` environment. If an upload leg fails with an invalid-publisher
-   error, add the missing TestPyPI Trusted Publisher for that package and
-   re-dispatch — already-uploaded legs are skipped.
-5. **Publish idempotency**: re-dispatch step 4's second command — all three
-   packages must skip as already published.
+5. **No-double-publish check** (optional): re-dispatching step 4's second
+   command must FAIL every leg with "File already exists" — PyPI
+   immutability doing its job. The publish is deliberately **write-only**:
+   the release runners cannot read the index, so there is no
+   already-published skip (a curl probe and twine's `--skip-existing` both
+   failed live for exactly that reason). A real partial publish is recovered
+   by yank + next version (see "If a publish goes wrong").

+## Persistent storage mounts (`pvc_mounts`)
+
+Runner Pods are ephemeral by design — the workspace lives on an `emptyDir` and
+dies with the Pod. To expose durable data (datasets, model caches, shared
+output directories) mount pre-created PersistentVolumeClaims:
+
+1. Create the PV/PVC **in the runner namespace** (`omnigent-sandboxes`) out of
+   band — via your GitOps repo, with whatever backend your cluster provides
+   (NFS/SMB CSI drivers, SAN, cloud disks). Omnigent only references the claim;
+   it never creates volumes, so the server RBAC stays unchanged.
+2. List the claims under `sandbox.kubernetes.pvc_mounts` (see
+   `sandbox-config.yaml`). Mount paths may not overlap `/home/omnigent`, the
+   OS directories, or their ancestors (e.g. `/home`, `/var`) — the server
+   rejects such config at startup.
+
+Caveats:
+
+- **Multiple runners share writable claims concurrently** — use a
+  `ReadWriteMany`-capable backend (NFS/SMB/CephFS) for anything writable, and
+  prefer `read_only: true` (the default) everywhere else: a writable shared
+  mount lets one session's agent read and modify what another session wrote,
+  and anything written there outlives the Pod and its launch token.
+- Runner Pods run as uid/gid 1000660000 with `fsGroup`. NFS `root_squash` and
+  SMB ownership mapping must permit that identity (export to the uid, or use
+  CSI mount options like `uid=`/`gid=` for SMB); `fsGroupChangePolicy:
+  OnRootMismatch` avoids re-chowning large exports on every start.
+- `ReadWriteOnce` claims pin all runners to one node — combine with
+  `node_selector` deliberately, or the second Pod sits `Pending`.
+- A mount visible in the Pod is not automatically visible to a harness's own
+  OS-level sandbox (OmniBox path grants are separate).
+
+To verify `host_config` end to end against a live cluster, run
+`python tests/e2e/integrations/deploy/kubernetes/e2e_managed_host_config.py
+--server <url>` — it creates a managed session and asserts the injected
+config inside the runner Pod.

+## Problem
+
+The Slack integration (`integrations/slack/`) is a standalone Socket-Mode
+process that calls each user's Omnigent server over HTTP + SSE
+(`OmnigentClient` / `OmnigentClientPool`). Each Slack user's turns must reach
+the Omnigent server **as that user's own authenticated identity** — so the
+server can scope permissions and audit who did what — **without the Slack
+process ever handling the user's Omnigent credentials**. An unauthenticated
+client can only reach auth-disabled servers, and would present one shared
+anonymous identity the server can't distinguish per user.
+
+## Topology and trust
+
+```
+  omnigent server   <->   slack socket server   <->   slack.com   <->   user
+  (Auth + Resource        (OAuth client /             (transport)      (browser =
+   Server)                 "device")                                    Resource Owner)
+```
+
+Slack relays all messages between the user and the socket server, so **no
+Omnigent credential may pass through Slack**. The user authenticates directly
+against the Omnigent server in their own browser, out of band. This is exactly
+the shape of the **OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant (RFC 8628)**: a device
+that cannot host a browser obtains a code, the user approves out-of-band, and
+the device polls for a token.
+
+Role mapping:
+
+| RFC 8628 role            | Here                                            |
+|--------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
+| Authorization Server     | Omnigent server (`/oauth/device/*`, `/oauth/token`) |
+| Resource Server          | Omnigent server (existing `/v1/**` APIs)        |
+| Client / "device"        | Slack socket server                             |
+| Resource Owner           | The Slack user, authenticating in their browser |
+| Out-of-band channel      | Slack (delivers the verification link only)     |
+
+## Shared substrate (reused, not rebuilt)
+
+The device grant builds on existing server primitives:
+
+- **Atomic single-use token redemption** — `SqlAlchemyAccountStore.redeem_token`
+  uses `UPDATE … WHERE redeemed_at IS NULL` + rowcount so at most one caller
+  wins under concurrency (`accounts_store.py`). The grant store follows the
+  same pattern.
+- **Session JWT minting** — `mint_session_token(user_id, secret, ttl, provider)`
+  (`oidc.py`), HS256 with `sub`/`iat`/`exp`/`provider`.
+- **Bearer validation** — `UnifiedAuthProvider._check_cookie` accepts
+  `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` and validates the same claim shape
+  (`auth.py`). Delegated access tokens validate through this path unchanged.
+- **Browser consent under accounts mode** — the `accounts` provider
+  establishes the browser identity via its session cookie; the consent page
+  runs behind it. (This is why the grant mounts in accounts mode only — see
+  the mount restriction below.)
+- **Open-redirect hardening** — `_sanitize_return_to` (`routes/auth.py`) guards
+  the post-login bounce back to the consent page.
+
+## Design decisions (agreed)
+
+1. **Public by default, optional client secret.** The baseline boundary is
+   the secret `device_code` the client holds, the ephemeral verification
+   link, and authenticated in-browser consent; initiation is per-IP
+   rate-limited and nothing is granted until a real user approves. On top of
+   that, setting `OMNIGENT_DEVICE_CLIENT_SECRET` on the server gates the
+   **client-facing** endpoints (authorize / token / revoke) behind a shared
+   secret header (`X-Omnigent-Client-Secret`, constant-time compared), so
+   only an authorized client can drive the flow. The **browser** endpoints
+   (consent GET / approve / deny) are never gated by it — the user's browser
+   doesn't hold the secret; their trust is the session cookie + Origin check.
+   Unset ⇒ endpoints stay public (backward compatible). Shipping the secret to
+   the Slack client is safe because its target is a **fixed operator config**
+   (`OMNIGENT_SERVER_URL`), not a user-supplied URL, so the secret only ever
+   travels to the trusted server.
+2. **Refresh tokens** — short-lived access tokens (≤ 1 h) plus a rotating,
+   revocable refresh token, with a 30-day absolute grant lifetime. The Slack
+   server refreshes silently; a stolen access token expires quickly and a grant
+   can be killed centrally or ages out on its own.
+
+## Flow
+
+```
+ 1. A Slack user opens the `/omnigent` setup modal against an
+       accounts-mode server; the modal detects auth is required and starts
+       the device flow (there is no separate login command).
+
+ 2. Slack server ─ POST /oauth/device/authorize ─────────────▶ Omnigent
+       body: { client_id }        # public app name, e.g. "slack"
+    Omnigent ─────────────────────────────────────────────────▶ Slack server
+       { device_code,            # secret, HELD BY SLACK SERVER ONLY
+         user_code,              # short, human-readable
+         verification_uri,       # e.g. https://srv/oauth/device
+         verification_uri_complete,   # verification_uri?user_code=XYZ
+         expires_in: 600, interval: 5 }
+
+ 3. Slack server shows the verification link (verification_uri_complete,
+       code prefilled for one-click) in the setup modal (initiator only),
+       plus the user_code so the user can confirm the match. The
+       device_code is NOT included — it never leaves the server pair.
+
+ 4. User clicks → Omnigent consent page (verification_uri).
+       The page REQUIRES a login started for THIS flow: if the browser's
+       session predates the grant (session iat < grant.created_at), it
+       bounces through the login page with ?reauth=1 — which forces a fresh
+       password entry even for an already-signed-in user — and returns here.
+       Once re-authenticated, the page shows: "<client_id> is requesting
+       permission to act as YOU (alice@example.com) on this Omnigent server.
+       [Approve] [Deny]" plus a warning to approve only a self-started login.
+       The forced re-auth means a grant can't be approved by one reflexive
+       click on a link the user didn't personally start (see threat #2).
+
+ 5. User approves → the grant is bound to the authenticated identity
+       (alice@…). client_id is recorded for display/audit only, never as
+       an authorization key.
+
+ 6. Slack server polls ─ POST /oauth/token ──────────────────▶ Omnigent
+       grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code
+       { device_code }
+    Responses: 400 authorization_pending | 429 slow_down |
+               400 expired_token | 400 access_denied |
+               400 invalid_grant |
+               200 { access_token, refresh_token, expires_in, token_type }
+
+ 7. Slack server stores  (team_id, slack_user_id, server_url)
+       → { access_token, refresh_token }  ENCRYPTED AT REST,
+       and attaches  Authorization: Bearer <access_token>  on every
+       request for that user thereafter.
+
+ 8. On 401 / near-expiry: POST /oauth/token grant_type=refresh_token →
+       new access + rotated refresh.  On refresh failure (revoked/expired):
+       drop tokens and re-prompt login in the setup modal.
+```
+
+The Slack `(team_id, slack_user_id)` → identity mapping lives entirely on
+the Slack side (step 7). The server-side grant is client-agnostic: it
+knows only the RFC 8628 `client_id` and the Omnigent identity that
+approved it.
+
+## Server-side changes
+
+### Router `omnigent/server/routes/device_auth.py`
+
+Mounted in `app.py` only when **`OMNIGENT_DEVICE_GRANT_ENABLED` is truthy**
+(opt-in, **default-off** — the `/oauth/*` routes are absent otherwise), and
+then **only in `accounts` mode** (OIDC delegates login to the IdP via the
+cli-ticket flow and never mounts these routes; header mode has no
+server-mintable identity — see `create_device_auth_router`, which raises if
+constructed for any other source). The `device_grants` table is created
+unconditionally by the migration regardless of the flag; only the router
+mount is gated. This router **owns** `mint_delegated_token` and
+`DELEGATED_SCOPE`.
+
+- `POST /oauth/device/authorize` — **public** (rate-limited). Generates a
+  high-entropy `device_code` (`secrets.token_urlsafe`, stored **hashed**), a
+  short `user_code`, `expires_in`, `interval`. Persists a `pending` grant
+  carrying only the public `client_id`. Returns the RFC 8628 authorize
+  response. Opportunistically purges expired grants (no scheduler).
+- `GET /oauth/device` — the consent page (`verification_uri`). Requires a
+  browser identity via the active provider; if unauthenticated, bounce through
+  the provider's normal login and return here (`_sanitize_return_to`). Prefills
+  `user_code` from `verification_uri_complete`.
+- `POST /oauth/device/approve` / `POST /oauth/device/deny` — authenticated
+  browser actions, CSRF-gated by `_require_browser_origin` (rejects a missing
+  Origin). `approve` binds the grant to the authenticated `user_id` (`sub`),
+  stamps `approved_at` (the absolute-lifetime clock), and flips status to
+  `approved`; `deny` flips to `denied`.
+- `POST /oauth/token`:
+  - `grant_type=…:device_code` — look up by hashed `device_code`; return
+    `authorization_pending` / `slow_down` (interval enforcement) /
+    `expired_token` / `access_denied` / `invalid_grant`, or on approval mint an
+    **access token** (`mint_delegated_token`, TTL ≤ 1 h) + **refresh token** and
+    return them. Single-use: an atomic `approved → redeemed` transition means
+    the device_code cannot be exchanged twice.
+  - `grant_type=refresh_token` — validate the presented refresh token against
+    the stored hash, **rotate** it (issue new, invalidate old), mint a new
+    access token. Refuses rotation past the 30-day absolute lifetime
+    (`expired_token`). **Reuse detection**: presenting an already-rotated
+    refresh token revokes the whole grant (token-theft signal).
+- `POST /oauth/revoke` — revoke a grant: null the refresh token, mark revoked
+  (the `grant_id` then reads as revoked in the denylist check). Accepts a
+  `refresh_token`, or falls back to the `grant_id` on the caller's own bearer
+  so a client holding only its access token can still log out. Idempotent.
+  Backs `/omnigent logout`.
+
+### New store `omnigent/server/device_grant_store.py`
+
+Modeled on `SqlAlchemyAccountStore` — workspace-scoped, secrets stored hashed,
+atomic single-use redemption, `purge_expired`. New table `device_grants`:
+
+| column               | notes                                              |
+|----------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
+| `id` (grant id)      | PK with `workspace_id`                             |
+| `device_code_hash`   | HMAC/SHA-256 of the device_code; never store raw   |
+| `user_code`          | short code shown/typed by the user                 |
+| `client_id`          | RFC 8628 client id — the requesting application (e.g. `slack`); display + audit |
+| `status`             | `pending` / `approved` / `denied` / `redeemed` / `revoked` |
+| `user_id`            | bound Omnigent identity, set at approval           |
+| `refresh_token_hash` / `prev_refresh_token_hash` | current + prior digest (rotation + reuse detection) |
+| `created_at` / `expires_at` / `approved_at` / `last_polled_at` | TTL, absolute-lifetime clock, `slow_down` timing |
+
+### Token claims and validation (`auth.py`, `device_auth.py`)
+
+Delegated access tokens (minted by `mint_delegated_token`) keep the existing
+HS256 shape (so `_check_cookie` accepts them) plus four delegated-only claims:
+
+- `act` — provenance, RFC 8693-style: `{ "client_id": "slack" }`, naming the
+  application that obtained the grant so every delegated action is attributable
+  to it.
+- `scope` — set to `DELEGATED_SCOPE` (`"sessions"`). The auth layer's
+  fail-closed allowlist `delegated_path_allowed` restricts a token carrying
+  this scope to `/health`, `/v1/agents`, `/v1/hosts`, `/v1/sessions`,
+  `/v1/runners`, `/oauth/token`, `/oauth/revoke` (exact or `prefix/…`);
+  everything else — including admin / user-management (`/auth/users*`, invites,
+  setup) — is rejected.
+- `grant_id` — checked against the revoked-grant denylist (`is_revoked`, wired
+  via `set_grant_revocation_check`) on **every** request for a delegated token,
+  so revoking the grant kills the token immediately. Delegated tokens carrying
+  a `grant_id` skip the credential cache (they return before the cache write),
+  keeping the per-request revocation check honest without making ordinary
+  (non-delegated) sessions stateful. Fail-closed: an unknown `grant_id` reads
+  as revoked.
+- `jti` — unique token id for audit/log correlation (not a revocation key;
+  revocation is grant-scoped, not per-token).
+
+## Slack-side changes
+
+- **`oauth.py`** — device-authorize → post ephemeral link → poll token
+  endpoint (respecting `interval` / `slow_down`) → store tokens.
+- **`omnigent.py`** — attach `Authorization: Bearer` per
+  `(server_url, slack_user_id)`; on 401, refresh once and retry; on refresh
+  failure, surface a re-login prompt. `OmnigentClientPool` keys clients by
+  `(server_url, slack_user_id)` instead of `server_url` alone.
+- **`store.py`** — new `oauth_tokens` table `(team_id, user_id, server_url)` →
+  access/refresh **encrypted at rest** (key from env / secret manager, never in
+  the DB). `/omnigent logout` → `POST /oauth/revoke` + local delete.
+- **`setup.py`** — validation uses the user's token, so auth-enabled servers
+  are supported.
+- **`config.py`** — holds the local encryption key for token storage.
+
+## Security analysis
+
+| # | Threat | Mitigation |
+|---|--------|-----------|
+| 1 | `device_code` leak → token theft | Never transits Slack or the user — only `verification_uri_complete` (a `user_code`) does. Stored hashed; single-use. |
+| 2 | Link misdelivery / phishing another user | Link shown to the initiator only (in their own setup modal). **Consent requires a login started FOR this flow: the consent page rejects a session whose `iat` predates the grant and bounces through the login page with `reauth=1`, forcing a fresh password entry even for an already-signed-in user.** So an attacker-initiated flow can't be approved by a single reflexive click — the victim must deliberately re-enter their password against a screen naming the exact Omnigent identity and requesting `client_id`. The gate is enforced on both the consent GET and the approve POST. |
+| 3 | Anyone can initiate/poll (public client) | Cheap `pending` state grants nothing until an authenticated user approves. `POST /oauth/device/authorize` is rate-limited per client IP (10/60s → 429 `slow_down`); short (10 min) `device_code` expiry; `slow_down` enforced server-side on aggressive polling; expired grants purged opportunistically. |
+| 4 | Slack SQLite exfiltration → mass impersonation | Tokens **encrypted at rest**; access tokens short-lived (≤ 1 h); refresh tokens revocable. Bounded, centrally killable window. |
+| 5 | Compromised Slack server acts as all users (inherent to delegation) | Reduced scope (no admin), short TTL + refresh rotation, per-grant revocation, **absolute grant lifetime (30 d) enforced on refresh** so even an un-revoked grant dies, and an `act`-claim audit trail. |
+| 6 | Confused deputy — user A's token used for user B | On the Slack side, token lookup is strictly keyed by acting `slack_user_id`; the thread `owner_user_id` gate drops non-owner follow-ups (`service.py`). |
+| 7 | Stale/leaked delegated token can't be revoked | Per-grant `grant_id` revocation denylist (`is_revoked`, checked every request) makes delegated-token revocation immediate — closes today's stateless-JWT gap for these higher-value tokens. |
+| 8 | Refresh-token theft | Rotation on every use + **reuse detection**: the just-superseded token's digest is retained in `prev_refresh_token_hash`; presenting it (a replay) is recognised and revokes the whole grant, killing the attacker's freshly-rotated token too. |
+| 9 | Transport interception | Require HTTPS for `verification_uri` and all token/bearer traffic; refuse the flow over plaintext except localhost dev. |
+| 10 | Open redirect on the consent login bounce | Reuse `_sanitize_return_to` (OIDC, `routes/auth.py`) / `sanitizeReturnTo` (accounts SPA). Verified both providers reject absolute / `//` targets. |
+| 11 | CSRF on approve/deny if `SameSite=none` is ever enabled | `_require_browser_origin` rejects a **missing** `Origin` on approve/deny (stricter than the shared `require_trusted_origin`, which fail-opens for non-browser clients). These routes are browser-only, so the CSRF defense no longer depends on the cookie's `SameSite`. |
+
+### Device-code phishing — accepted risk, mitigated in depth
+
+The canonical RFC 8628 risk: a stranger initiates a flow and tricks a victim
+Omnigent user into approving the verification link, binding the grant to the
+*victim's* identity while the attacker (holding the `device_code`) polls for the
+token.
+
+When no client secret is configured the endpoints are **public**, so
+initiation is open — the defense is layered, not a gate:
+
+- **Forced re-authentication at consent.** Consent requires a login started for
+  THIS flow: the consent page (and the approve POST) reject a session whose
+  `iat` predates the grant's `created_at` and bounce through the login page with
+  `reauth=1`, which forces a fresh password entry even for an already-signed-in
+  user. This defeats the reflex-approve variant of the attack — a victim handed a
+  one-click link (even one with the code prefilled) still can't bind the grant
+  without deliberately re-entering their password against a screen naming the
+  exact identity and client. (`device_auth.py` `_session_iat` + the
+  `reauth=1` bounce; `LoginPage.tsx` suppresses its already-signed-in
+  auto-return under `reauth=1`.) The prefilled one-click link is therefore
+  retained for convenience — the re-auth step, not code handling, is the gate.
+- The consent page prominently **warns** the user to approve only a login they
+  personally started and to match the code shown by the application.
+- The delegated scope excludes admin / user-management endpoints.
+- The grant has a 30-day absolute lifetime and is revocable; a leaked/phished
+  grant self-expires even if never revoked.
+- Initiation is rate-limited per IP; nothing is granted until a real user
+  authenticates and approves in their own browser.
+- **Startup warning.** When the grant is mounted on a multi-user (accounts)
+  server with `OMNIGENT_DEVICE_CLIENT_SECRET` unset, the server logs a loud
+  warning at startup that the authorize endpoint is public — nudging the
+  operator to opt into the secret rather than leaving initiation open unknowingly
+  (`app.py`, at the device-router mount).
+
+Setting `OMNIGENT_DEVICE_CLIENT_SECRET` closes initiation entirely to
+unauthorized callers: without the matching `X-Omnigent-Client-Secret` header,
+authorize / token / revoke return `401 invalid_client` before anything is
+created, so only the operator's own client (which holds the secret) can even
+start a flow. This is now shippable to the Slack client because its server
+target is a fixed operator config, not a user-supplied URL — the secret only
+ever travels to the trusted server. The consent-page warning, short TTL, and
+absolute lifetime remain the defenses when the secret is left unset.
+
+### Deliberate deviation from the current model
+
+Ordinary Omnigent session JWTs are stateless and unrevocable today (revocation =
+cookie deletion + expiry). Delegated tokens are higher-value — one server acts
+for many users — so this design makes **delegated** tokens revocable (persisted
+grant + per-`grant_id` revocation check) while leaving normal sessions
+stateless. This added invariant is the main thing for reviewers to scrutinize.
+
+## Out of scope / follow-ups
+
+- Admin UI for listing and revoking active Slack delegations.
+- Multi-replica rate limiting: the authorize throttle is in-process; a
+  horizontally-scaled server would want a shared store (the grant table's
+  single-use/expiry semantics already bound abuse in the meantime).
+- Applying the same delegated grant to other non-browser clients (the CLI could
+  use it too, superseding the in-memory `_cli_tickets` store).
+- Per-scope consent granularity beyond the single "session APIs, no admin" scope.

+# PRD: Projects
+
+- Status: Draft
+- Author: Serena Ruan
+- Related: [`designs/SESSION_PROJECTS_SIDEBAR.md`](./SESSION_PROJECTS_SIDEBAR.md) (v1, label-based sidebar grouping), issue [#863](https://github.com/omnigent-ai/omnigent/issues/863), PR [#869](https://github.com/omnigent-ai/omnigent/pull/869)
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+A **Project** is a user-defined container that groups related sessions and
+carries owner-private configuration (memory, context, a default working
+directory). It gives users a durable "workspace" above the single session, so
+recurring work isn't re-configured each time or scattered across a flat list.
+
+This PRD scopes the **full vision**. A **v1** already exists (§4): projects as a
+reserved `omni_project` label, grouped in the sidebar — this covers grouping
+only. Everything else (empty projects, rename/reorder, memory/context/defaults)
+requires promoting Project from a *label* to a *first-class entity*.
+
+Two decisions shape the whole design and are worth stating up front:
+- **A project is owner-private metadata.** Sharing stays **per-session** exactly
+  as it is today; there is **no project-level ACL** (§9).
+- **Memory & context are owner-private** and never cross to a shared session's
+  recipient. A shared session appears **ungrouped** to the recipient (§9).
+
+## 2. Summary — what we support & UX impact
+
+Priority order (highest first), per product direction:
+
+| # | Capability | Support? | Mechanism | UX impact |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | **Create empty project** | ✅ | first-class `projects` table (needed for empty) | Always-visible **Projects** section in the sidebar; "New project" creates one with zero sessions |
+| 2 | **Move session in / create session in project** | ✅ | `project_id` FK on session | Session-row kebab "Add to / Move / Remove from project"; "New session here" from a project header, pre-filling its defaults |
+| 3 | **Rename projects** | ✅ | `PATCH /projects/{id}` on `name` (members untouched) | Inline rename from the project header |
+| 4a | **Default working dir / host / harness** | ✅ (soft hints) | default columns on project | "New session here" pre-fills the new-chat dialog; unsatisfiable hints (host offline / not owned) are silently dropped |
+| 4b | **Project memory** (owner-private) | ✅ | DB-backed, scoped to project, host-agnostic | Agent accumulates learnings across the project's sessions; never exposed to shared-session recipients |
+| 4c | **Project context** (owner-private) | ✅ | curated docs/instructions attached to project | Owner-curated inputs seed each session started in the project |
+| 5 | **Project-level sharing / ACL** | ❌ intentional | — | Sharing stays **per-session** (existing ACL). A shared session appears **ungrouped** in the recipient's "Shared with me" — no project, no memory/context |
+| opt | **Reorder projects** | 🔵 optional | client-only (localStorage, no DB column) | Drag-to-reorder in the sidebar; nice-to-have, not required for launch — see §7.2 |
+
+**Two-line model:**
+- Project = **owner-private organizer** carrying defaults + memory + context.
+- Sharing = **per-session only**; a shared session crosses the ACL boundary, its
+  project membership and memory/context do **not**.
+
+## 3. Where we are today (grounding)
+
+The exploration of the current codebase established the following, which every
+requirement below builds on:
+
+- **Session = `Conversation`** (`omnigent/entities/conversation.py`). Key fields:
+  `id`, `title`, `runner_id`, `host_id`, `workspace` (absolute path, **immutable
+  after creation**), `git_branch`, `model_override`, `reasoning_effort`,
+  `harness_override`, `cost_control_mode_override`, `labels`, `session_state`,
+  `archived`.
+- **Session creation** goes through `POST /v1/sessions`
+  (`SessionCreateRequest`, `omnigent/server/schemas.py`) with `agent_id`,
+  `host_type` (`external` | `managed`), `host_id`, `workspace`, optional `git`
+  worktree spec, and per-session overrides. UX lives in
+  `web/src/shell/NewChatDialog.tsx`.
+- **Working directory & host**: `workspace` is a path on a `host` (a machine
+  running `omnigent host`, or a server-managed sandbox). Bound at creation,
+  immutable thereafter. Git worktrees are opt-in at create time.
+- **Memory/context today**: only `session_state` (per-session key/value for
+  policy callables) and `session_usage`. There is **no cross-session or
+  project-level memory** and no shared context store.
+- **Permissions**: per-`(user_id, conversation_id)` rows with levels
+  read(1)/edit(2)/manage(3)/owner(4) (`omnigent/db/db_models.py`,
+  `omnigent/entities/permission.py`). `__public__` sentinel grants public read.
+  No org/team model. `workspace_id` is a multi-tenancy partition key, not a
+  user-facing grouping.
+- **Projects v1 already exists**: reserved label `omni_project` in
+  `conversation_labels`; endpoints `GET /v1/sessions/projects` and
+  `?project=<name>` filtering; `useProjects()` / `useMoveToProject()` hooks;
+  sidebar grouping. Projects are **implicit** — a project exists iff a
+  non-archived session references it, and vanishes when its last member leaves.
+  **There is no project row, so a project cannot be empty, renamed, or carry its
+  own config.**
+
+## 4. Key architectural decision: implicit label vs. first-class entity
+
+This is the foundational decision. Every requirement below except plain grouping
+requires promoting Project from a label to a first-class entity.
+
+| Capability | Implicit label (v1 today) | First-class entity (this PRD) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Group sessions | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Empty project | ❌ (project = its members) | ✅ |
+| Rename (cheap, safe) | ❌ (rewrite every member) | ✅ (rename the row) |
+| Project defaults (dir/host/model) | ❌ nowhere to store | ✅ (columns on project) |
+| Project memory/context | ❌ nowhere to attach | ✅ (FK to project) |
+| DB migration required | ❌ none | ✅ new table + backfill |
+
+**Recommendation:** ship v1 (labels) for grouping now, then **promote to a
+first-class `projects` entity** as the foundation for the rest.
+Migration: create `projects` rows from the distinct `omni_project` label values
+per owner, point sessions at `project_id`, retire the label. This is a one-time
+backfill, not user-visible.
+
+Proposed model, referenced throughout:
+- New `projects` table: `id`, `workspace_id`, `name`, `owner`, `created_at`,
+  `updated_at`, plus the config columns from §8. (No `position` column —
+  reorder is deferred and client-only, §7.2.)
+- Session→project membership = nullable `project_id` FK on conversation
+  metadata. `null` = unfiled. FK (over label-of-id) is cleaner for renames and
+  referential integrity.
+- CRUD endpoints: `POST /v1/projects`, `GET /v1/projects`,
+  `PATCH /v1/projects/{id}`, `DELETE /v1/projects/{id}`.
+
+## 5. Priority 1 — Create empty project
+
+### 5.1 What
+Create a project with **zero sessions**, then fill it later.
+
+### 5.2 Why this needs a first-class entity
+Under the implicit-label model a project *is* its set of member sessions — an
+empty project has no rows and therefore does not exist. Supporting empty
+projects **requires the `projects` table** from §4.
+
+### 5.3 UX
+- The sidebar always shows a **Projects** section, even with zero projects, so
+  the create-empty-then-fill flow is discoverable (not a hidden label action).
+- "New project" creates a named, empty project (`POST /v1/projects`).
+- **Deletion:** deleting a project with members prompts — (a) delete the project
+  and unfile its sessions (sessions kept) or (b) block until empty. **Proposed:
+  (a)** with confirmation. Never cascade-delete sessions. This replaces v1's
+  "archive all members to make the project vanish" behavior.
+
+### 5.4 Why ship empty-project creation first
+
+It's the right first slice — not just because it's P1, but because it's the
+**minimal change that forces the first-class entity**, which everything else
+builds on for free. An empty project is definitionally impossible under the v1
+label model (a label-project *is* its members), so "create empty project" *is*
+the `projects` table + the `project_id` membership column. Once those exist,
+move/rename/reorder/defaults are small additions on the same schema.
+
+Phase 1 is therefore exactly two schema changes: a new `projects` table, and a
+`project_id` column on the conversation metadata row. Config/memory/context
+columns (§8) are **deferred to Phase 2/3** — start with a lean table so Phase 1
+stays small and reversible.
+
+### 5.5 Proposed Phase-1 schema
+
+Follows the repo's conventions from the most recent table (`scheduled_tasks`,
+migration `z6…`, `omnigent/db/db_models.py`): `workspace_id` leads the PK, **no
+DB foreign keys** (schema Rule R032 — relationships enforced in the app), owner
+scoping via a `*_user_id` column, epoch-seconds timestamps.
+
+```python
+class SqlProject(OmnigentBase):
+    """A user-defined, owner-private container that groups sessions."""
+    __tablename__ = "projects"
+
+    workspace_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(
+        BigInteger, primary_key=True, nullable=False,
+        server_default="0", default=current_workspace_id,
+    )
+    # "proj_"-prefixed string id (not Uuid16) so it reads as a sibling of
+    # conversation ids and lives naturally in the metadata String column.
+    id: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(64), primary_key=True)
+    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(256), nullable=False)
+    # Owner stamped on the row (like scheduled_tasks), NOT derived from a
+    # permission table the way session ownership is. Correct here precisely
+    # because projects have no ACL and are owner-private (§9) — see the
+    # "Where ownership lives" note below. None in single-user/OSS mode.
+    owner_user_id: Mapped[str | None] = mapped_column(String(128), nullable=True)
+    created_at: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(Integer, nullable=False)
+    updated_at: Mapped[int | None] = mapped_column(Integer, nullable=True)
+    # No `position` column: ordering is deferred and, when added, will be a
+    # client-only concern (localStorage), not server state — see §7.2.
+
+    __table_args__ = (
+        # "list my projects": prefix scan on (workspace_id, owner). Server
+        # returns a stable order (e.g. created_at / name); the client may
+        # re-order locally.
+        Index("ix_projects_owner", "workspace_id", "owner_user_id", "id"),
+        # Per-owner name uniqueness (§7.1); app validates too.
+        Index("uq_projects_owner_name", "workspace_id", "owner_user_id", "name", unique=True),
+    )
+```
+
+Membership is one nullable column on the existing metadata table
+(`SqlConversationMetadata`, `omnigent_conversation_metadata`):
+
+```python
+# Relates to projects.id; no DB FK (Rule R032). NULL = unfiled.
+project_id: Mapped[str | None] = mapped_column(String(64), nullable=True)
+# In __table_args__ — "list sessions in project X" + counts (GROUP BY project_id):
+Index("ix_conversation_metadata_project_id", "workspace_id", "project_id", "id"),
+```
+
+**Column decisions worth sign-off:**
+
+| Choice | Proposed | Rationale / alternative |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` type | `String(64)`, `proj_`-prefixed | Reads as a sibling of `conv_…` ids; lives in the metadata String column. Newest tables use `Uuid16` — diverge here for readability + column symmetry. |
+| Membership location | `project_id` on `omnigent_conversation_metadata` | Metadata already holds host/workspace/runner; `list_conversations` can filter it inline. |
+| Name uniqueness | per-`(workspace, owner)` unique index | Matches §7.1; case-sensitivity still open (Q3). |
+| Ownership | `owner_user_id` **column on the row** | See "Where ownership lives" below — differs from sessions on purpose. |
+| Ordering | **no `position` column** | Reorder is deferred and client-only (§7.2); no server state until proven needed. |
+| Deferred columns | default host/workspace/harness/model, memory/context refs | Added in Phase 2/3, not now. |
+
+**Where ownership lives (why a column, not the permission table).** The repo has
+two ownership conventions, and which is correct depends on whether the entity is
+shareable:
+
+- **Sessions** have *no* owner column — ownership is derived from
+  `session_permissions` as the `LEVEL_OWNER` grantee (`get_session_owner`,
+  `list_projects(owned_by=...)`). This is required *because sessions are shared*:
+  ownership is just the top row among many `(user, level)` grants.
+- **`scheduled_tasks`** — a personal, non-shareable artifact with no ACL — instead
+  stamps `owner_user_id` directly on the row (`db_models.py:1298`), indexed
+  `(workspace_id, owner_user_id, id)`.
+
+Projects follow `scheduled_tasks`, not sessions, **because §9 gives them no
+project-level ACL** — they're owner-private, single-owner, never granted to
+anyone else. With no `project_permissions` table to derive from, `owner_user_id`
+on the row is the correct and consistent choice. (The v1 label-based
+`list_projects` derives ownership from `session_permissions` only because a label
+has no row of its own to stamp — the first-class table removes that constraint.)
+If §9 is ever reversed and projects become shareable, we would drop this column
+and derive ownership from a `project_permissions` ACL, mirroring sessions.
+
+**Migration (mirrors `z6…`):** `op.create_table("projects", …)` with the two
+indexes; `op.add_column("omnigent_conversation_metadata", project_id)` + its
+index. **No backfill needed** for empty-project support — existing sessions stay
+`project_id = NULL` (unfiled). The `omni_project`-label → `project_id` backfill
+is a **separate, later** step (only when migrating v1 label-projects), kept out
+of this migration so Phase 1 stays clean and reversible.
+
+## 6. Priority 2 — Move session in / create session in project
+
+### 6.1 What
+Move existing sessions into (or out of) a project, and start new sessions
+already filed in a project.
+
+### 6.2 UX — how a session joins a project
+
+We deliberately **do not** add a project picker to the generic new-chat dialog.
+That dialog is already dense (agent, host, workspace, git, model, effort,
+permission mode); a picker would complicate the most-used "just start a chat"
+flow. Sessions join projects from the project surface instead:
+
+| Path | Behavior |
+|---|---|
+| **New session within a project** (primary) | From a project's header, "New session here" opens the new-chat dialog with the project pre-set and its defaults (host/workspace/harness — §8) pre-filled. This is where "create in project" happens. |
+| **After creation** (session-row kebab) | "Add to / Change / Remove from project" submenu, `PATCH /v1/sessions/{id}` — for reorganizing existing sessions. |
+
+- "Move session in/out" = update `project_id`. Moving to `null` = unfiled.
+- Membership is the **owner's** private metadata (see §9): a session's project
+  is scoped to its owner and does not travel to other viewers.
+
+### 6.3 Sidebar & navigation
+- Collapsible project sections, per-project counts (server-authoritative via
+  `GET /v1/sessions/projects`, not the loaded page).
+- Section precedence, highest wins: **Archived > Pinned > Project > Chats**
+  (from v1 design §7). Confirm this survives the first-class-entity move.
+- Filtering: `GET /v1/sessions?project=<id>`, incl. unfiled.
+- Pagination correctness: counts from server `GROUP BY`; expand-time fetch of a
+  project's full member list (v1 design §8).
+
+## 7. Priority 3 — Rename projects
+
+- First-class entity makes this a single `PATCH /v1/projects/{id}` on `name` —
+  members are unaffected (they reference `project_id`, not the name string).
+- Under v1 labels, rename means rewriting the label on every member (racy,
+  O(members), breaks on unloaded pages) — another reason to go first-class.
+- Validation: trim; reject empty/whitespace-only; max length (propose 100);
+  **case-sensitive**, unique **per owner** (`workspace_id` + `owner` scope).
+  Confirm case-sensitivity.
+
+### 7.2 Optional — Reorder projects (client-only, not required)
+- **Optional, not a launch requirement, and not a DB concern.** We deliberately
+  do **not** add a `position` column. The server returns projects in a stable
+  order (e.g. by `created_at` or name); manual ordering is a nice-to-have we can
+  add later without a schema change.
+- When we do add it, reorder should be a **client-only** preference (persisted in
+  localStorage, like the existing collapsed-section state) rather than server
+  state. Since projects are owner-private (§9), there's no shared-ordering
+  concern to force it into the DB — an owner's arrangement is theirs alone, and a
+  local preference is enough. Promoting it to a server column is a reversible
+  future step if cross-device ordering is ever wanted.
+
+## 8. Priority 4 — Project config: default working dir, host, memory & context
+
+Break into the three sub-capabilities. All are **owner-private** (§9).
+
+### 8.1 Default working directory & host
+- **What:** a project stores a default `host_id` + `workspace` (and optionally
+  default `git` base-branch / worktree policy, harness, model, reasoning
+  effort). New sessions created "in" the project pre-fill these.
+- **How it works with the host model:** `workspace` is a path *on a specific
+  host*, and hosts are user-owned machines/sandboxes that go online/offline.
+  Implications to design for:
+  - The project's default host may be **offline** at session-create time →
+    fall back to prompting for host, keep the workspace path as a hint.
+  - For **managed** hosts, the "workspace" is a git repo URL that provisions a
+    fresh sandbox per session — the project default is the repo URL + branch
+    policy, not a live path.
+  - Working directory remains **immutable per session** (existing constraint);
+    the project only seeds the *initial* value.
+  - **Proposed:** store project defaults as *hints*, never hard requirements —
+    the new-chat dialog pre-fills them and always lets the user override, and
+    silently drops any hint that isn't currently satisfiable (host offline).
+
+### 8.2 Project-level memory (owner-private)
+- **What:** a persistent memory store scoped to the project, readable/writable
+  across all its sessions, so learnings accumulate across sessions instead of
+  being lost per-session.
+- **Grounding:** no cross-session memory exists today; `session_state` is
+  per-conversation and policy-oriented. This is net-new.
+- **Owner-private:** memory belongs to the project owner and is **never** exposed
+  through a session shared individually with someone else (§9.4). This avoids
+  the leak where one shared session would expose learnings aggregated from *all*
+  the project's sessions — including ones never shared with that person.
+- **Design questions to resolve:**
+  - **Storage:** DB rows (project-scoped key/value or documents) vs. files in
+    the project's default workspace (like agent memory files). DB is
+    host-independent; files are natural for coding agents but tied to one
+    workspace/host. **Proposed:** DB-backed project memory (host-agnostic,
+    survives host churn), optionally surfaced to the agent as a virtual
+    file/tool.
+  - **How the agent reads/writes it:** injected into system context at session
+    start? Exposed as a tool (read/append/update)? Both?
+  - **Compaction interaction:** must survive conversation compaction — project
+    memory lives outside the conversation so it's inherently durable.
+
+### 8.3 Project-level context (owner-private)
+- **What:** reference material attached to the project (pinned docs, links,
+  instructions, files) that seeds every session's context.
+- **Relationship to memory:** *context* = user-curated inputs (I give the
+  project these docs/instructions); *memory* = agent-accumulated learnings (the
+  agent records what it discovered). Keep them as distinct surfaces even if
+  stored similarly. Both are owner-private.
+- **Design questions:** size/token budget when injecting into new sessions;
+  per-file include/exclude; whether context is copied into the session at start
+  (snapshot) or referenced live (updates propagate). **Proposed:** referenced
+  live with a snapshot-at-turn behavior, matching how instruction files work.
+
+## 9. Decision: no project-level sharing (per-session ACL only)
+
+**Decision: we do not add a project-level ACL.** Sharing stays per-session,
+exactly as it is today. A project is the **owner's private organizer**; its
+membership, memory, and context are the owner's private metadata and do not
+travel to other viewers.
+
+### 9.1 Why this is coherent
+Two principles point the same way:
+- Memory/context are **owner-private** (§8) — a project's learnings span multiple
+  sessions, so exposing them through a single shared session would leak content
+  from sessions never shared with that person.
+- **Shared sessions ignore project** — when a session is shared, the *session*
+  crosses the ACL boundary; its *project membership does not*.
+
+The reconciling rule:
+
+> A session's project membership is scoped to its **owner**. When a session is
+> shared, the session crosses the ACL boundary; its project membership,
+> memory, and context stay with the owner.
+
+### 9.2 How it looks
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    subgraph Alice["Alice (owner)"]
+        PX["Project X<br/>(private: defaults + memory + context)"]
+        PX --> A["Session A"]
+        PX --> B["Session B"]
+        PX --> C["Session C"]
+    end
+
+    B -->|session ACL grant| BOB
+
+    subgraph Bob["Bob's view"]
+        SWM["Shared with me<br/>• Session B (ungrouped)"]
+        BOB --> SWM
+    end
+
+    PX -.->|project + memory/context<br/>never cross| Bob
+```
+
+- Alice files sessions A/B/C under Project X — only **Alice** sees them grouped.
+- Alice shares session B with Bob via the existing session ACL.
+- Bob sees session B in **"Shared with me"**, **ungrouped** — no project, no
+  memory, no context. Nothing leaks.
+
+### 9.3 What this buys us
+- No new `project_permissions` table, no inherited/computed grants, no
+  move-in/move-out ACL recomputation.
+- Requirements 1–4 (create, move, rename, defaults) — and the optional reorder —
+  need no ACL at all.
+- The existing per-`(user, conversation)` ACL does all sharing, unchanged.
+
+### 9.4 Consequence to enforce
+- Project memory/context access is gated by **ownership of the project**, never
+  by a session-level grant. A session shared individually must not unlock the
+  project's memory/context.
+
+### 9.5 Owner-scoped membership (Model A)
+Project membership is a single `project_id` owned by the session owner. A
+recipient of a shared session **cannot** file it into one of *their own*
+projects — shared sessions appear as a flat list in "Shared with me". Letting a
+viewer organize *shared* sessions into their own projects (per-viewer membership,
+"Model B") is a possible future extension and still needs **no** ACL, since each
+user's memberships would be their own private metadata.
+
+## 10. Priority 5 — What we do NOT support (intentional)
+
+- **Project-level sharing / ACL** — sharing stays per-session (§9).
+- **Nested projects / sub-projects.** One level only.
+- **A session in multiple projects.** Membership is single, owner-scoped.
+- **Per-viewer filing of shared sessions** ("Model B", §9.5) — deferred.
+- **Automatic/AI-driven grouping** — grouping stays user-defined (per #863).
+- **Org/team-owned projects** — no team entity exists; out of scope until one
+  does.
+- **Public (`__public__`) projects** — out of scope (follows from §9: projects
+  aren't shared at all).
+
+## 11. Phasing (proposed)
+
+- **Phase 0 — Grouping (v1, shipped on main):** label-based projects
+  (`omni_project`), sidebar sections, new-chat picker, kebab move. Per
+  `SESSION_PROJECTS_SIDEBAR.md`.
+- **Phase 1 — First-class entity:** `projects` table + CRUD, empty projects
+  (P1), move/create-in-project (P2), rename (P3), delete semantics. Reorder is
+  **optional** and, if added, client-only (§7.2). No label backfill here — the
+  server dual-reads (§13), so first-class projects work alongside existing
+  label-projects without migrating them. Shipped as three PRs: **1a** the project
+  container (table + store + CRUD), **1b** session membership (the `project_id`
+  column, conversation-store dual-read, and the session-move HTTP surfaces), and
+  the **web UI** (sidebar create/rename/delete/move against the first-class
+  entity, dual-reading label-projects) — see §12.
+- **Phase 2 — Project defaults (P4a):** default host/workspace/harness/model
+  seeded into the new-chat dialog when starting a session from within a project;
+  graceful degradation when host offline / not owned.
+- **Phase 3 — Memory & context (P4b/P4c):** owner-private project memory store +
+  curated context; agent read/write; injection into sessions.
+- **Phase 4 — Label consolidation (deferred, optional):** one-off backfill of
+  `omni_project` label-projects into `projects` rows, then (only if ever)
+  retiring the label path. Not required for the feature — dual-read makes it
+  opportunistic cleanup, not a milestone (§12, §13).
+
+## 12. Implementation status / TODO
+
+Tracks what has actually landed vs. what remains. Updated as work ships.
+
+### Done (Phase 1a — project container: entity + store + CRUD)
+Shipped: the project **container** — create, list, rename, and delete empty
+projects. Session→project membership landed separately in Phase 1b (below).
+- ✅ **`projects` table** — `SqlProject` (`db_models.py`): `id` (Uuid16),
+  `name`, `owner_user_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`. Owner-scoped index; a
+  UNIQUE index on `(workspace_id, owner_user_id, name)` enforces per-owner name
+  uniqueness at the DB layer for non-NULL owners (the store's `_name_taken`
+  check guards NULL-owner / single-user rows, which SQL treats as distinct).
+  (No `config` column in Phase 1a — deferred so we didn't ship an unused
+  column; added in Phase 2 via migration `b3c4d5e6f7a8`, see the TODO below.)
+- ✅ **Migration** `b1c2d3e4f5a6` — creates the `projects` table only;
+  additive, no backfill. Chained after `d4f2a1b6c8e9`.
+- ✅ **Entity** — `Project` (`entities/project.py`).
+- ✅ **Store** — `ProjectStore` + `SqlAlchemyProjectStore` (create/get/list/
+  update/delete, owner-scoped; `IntegrityError` → `ALREADY_EXISTS` as the DB
+  backstop for the uniqueness race).
+- ✅ **API** — `POST/GET/PATCH/DELETE /v1/projects` (`routes/projects.py`),
+  request/response schemas, wired into `create_app` + CLI; `openapi.json`
+  regenerated. Every handler is owner-scoped (projects are owner-private).
+- ✅ Tests: store CRUD + owner isolation + name uniqueness (incl. DB backstop);
+  route CRUD (single- + multi-user header auth); entity.
+
+### Done (Phase 1b — session membership over HTTP)
+Links sessions to projects and exposes it, completing Phase 1.
+- ✅ **Membership column + migration** — nullable `project_id` (Uuid16) on
+  `SqlConversationMetadata` (no DB FK, Rule R032; `NULL` = unfiled) via
+  `c2d3e4f5a6b7`, an add-column migration chained after `b1c2d3e4f5a6`, plus
+  `ix_conversation_metadata_project_id` and `Conversation.project_id`.
+- ✅ **Conversation-store ops** — `set_conversation_project()` (file / move /
+  unfile by id) and a **name-based dual-read** `list_conversations(project=…)`
+  filter: a session is "in project `<name>`" if it has EITHER the first-class
+  membership (`metadata.project_id` → the caller's project of that name) OR the
+  legacy `omni_project` label with that value; `""` = unfiled. Cross-DB-safe;
+  the prefetch is bounded to the caller's permission-scoped ids so the `IN` /
+  `NOT IN` list can't grow past their own sessions. This is the §13 dual-read
+  made real, so there is no coexisting pair of filters to reconcile later.
+- ✅ **Session routes** — `PATCH /v1/sessions/{id}` files/unfiles by id
+  (owner-only; target-project ownership validated → 404 otherwise) and
+  `GET /v1/sessions?project=<name>` lists a project's sessions (owner-scoped);
+  `project_id` surfaced on `SessionResponse` / `SessionListItem`; `openapi.json`
+  regenerated.
+- ✅ Tests: store membership ops + name-based dual-read (incl. unfiled and the
+  cross-DB split-DB path); route move / unfile / list, single- and multi-user
+  ownership boundaries.
+
+### Done (Web UI — first-class projects in the sidebar)
+Wires the web app to the first-class entity, keeping the label path working via
+dual-read so no migration is forced. Folders are keyed by **name** (the union
+key that merges a first-class project and a like-named label-project into one
+folder), carrying the first-class `id` when one exists.
+- ✅ **List dual-read** — `GET /v1/sessions/projects` now returns the UNION of
+  first-class projects (`project_store.list`, incl. empty, with `id`) and legacy
+  label-projects (`id=None`), merged by name and sorted. Response shape changed
+  from `list[str]` to `list[{id, name}]`; owner-scoped as before.
+- ✅ **First-class CRUD client** — `web/src/lib/projectsApi.ts`
+  (`list/create/rename/delete` against `/v1/projects`); hooks `useCreateProject`,
+  `useRenameProject`, and a reworked `useDeleteProject`. `useProjects` now
+  returns `{id, name}[]`.
+- ✅ **Create empty project** — a "New project" control (`NewProjectButton`) in
+  the always-visible Projects section (My-sessions tab), even with zero
+  projects (§5.3). `POST /v1/projects`.
+- ✅ **Membership by `project_id`** — filing/moving a session (composer picker,
+  row kebab, drag-drop) PATCHes `project_id`, resolving the picked name to an id
+  and **creating the first-class row on demand** for a label-only folder. `""`
+  unfiles. Sidebar groups a folder's members by first-class id OR the legacy
+  label, and a row's "current project" dual-reads both (so pinned first-class
+  members keep their project flyout).
+- ✅ **Rename** — `PATCH /v1/projects/{id}` (O(1)); a label-only folder is
+  promoted on demand (create + re-file members). **Delete** — archives and
+  unfiles every member (clears `project_id` + `omni_project` label), then
+  deletes the container; sessions are never deleted (§5.3, §7).
+- ✅ Tests: `projectsApi` unit tests; reworked hook tests (resolve→file,
+  create-on-demand, archive+unfile+delete); sidebar/composer suites updated;
+  server union test. Empty folders read "No sessions".
+
+### Done (Benchmark — #3094)
+- ✅ **Latency journeys + corpus seeder.** Added `list_projects` (sidebar project
+  list, dual-read union) and `list_project_sessions` (`?project=` folder fetch)
+  latency journeys to `dev/benchmarks/omnigent`, mirroring the `list_sessions`
+  hot read path. The corpus seeder now also seeds first-class `projects` rows
+  and files a configurable fraction of sessions into them (`--projects`,
+  `--filed-fraction`) so the journeys measure a realistic sidebar instead of an
+  empty project set, and the PR benchmark regression check runs on
+  `dev/benchmarks/**` changes. CRUD writes remain unbenchmarked (infrequent
+  single-row ops).
+
+### Done (Phase 2 — project defaults, P4a)
+Complete, shipped across several PRs: default host/workspace/agent + an opt-in
+worktree stored on the project and seeded into the new-chat composer.
+  - ✅ **Backend `config` column.** Added a nullable `config` column to
+    `projects` (migration `b3c4d5e6f7a8`, additive with a clean downgrade) and
+    plumbed it through the store/entity/API. `config` is an **opaque JSON
+    object**, not a typed schema: the backend persists it whole and never
+    filters on it, so the key vocabulary (host/workspace/harness/model/
+    reasoning-effort/git base-branch, …) is owned by the client and can grow
+    without a schema change. Values are *hints* (§8.1). Store `update()`
+    distinguishes `config=None` (leave unchanged) from `config={}` (clear), so
+    a rename never wipes stored defaults. Exposed on `ProjectObject` /
+    `CreateProjectRequest` / `UpdateProjectRequest` (openapi regenerated).
+  - ✅ **Settings editor.** A "Project settings" dialog
+    (`web/src/shell/ProjectSettingsDialog.tsx`, reached from the project-folder
+    kebab menu) writes a project's `config`: host, working directory, default
+    agent, and an opt-in "Random worktree" toggle. The `config` shape the client
+    owns is `{ host_id?, workspace?, agent_id?, use_worktree? }`. Fields are
+    optional (an unset one stores no key); an all-default dialog clears to `{}`.
+    Worktrees are **opt-in** — the toggle defaults OFF and only an explicit ON is
+    stored as `use_worktree: true` (matching "worktrees are opt-in at create
+    time"). The host/agent pickers and filesystem browser reuse the composer's
+    components.
+  - ✅ **Seed defaults into the new-chat dialog.** The composer reads the stored
+    `config` and pre-fills host / working directory / agent, always overridable,
+    silently dropping any hint that isn't currently satisfiable (e.g. the default
+    host is offline, or the configured agent is no longer registered). An unset
+    field falls through to the composer's generic defaults (last host, recent
+    workspace, last-used agent). The prefill machine waits while the projects
+    list (name → id) or the config query is still loading, so a generic default
+    can't win the race. An opt-in worktree (`use_worktree: true`) generates a
+    fresh `worktree-<hex>` branch once the workspace is in place and confirmed a
+    git repo — including for empty projects, where the workspace comes from the
+    config or the home-fallback.
+  - ✅ **Backend `config` hardening (from the #3108 review).** Both landed in
+    `stores/project_store/sqlalchemy_store.py`: (a) `_encode_config` bounds the
+    serialized `config` at 64 KiB (`_CONFIG_MAX_SERIALIZED_LEN`) and raises
+    `INVALID_INPUT` past it — the value is persisted verbatim and reflected back,
+    so an unbounded blob is a mild storage/response-size amplifier; (b)
+    `_decode_config` coerces a non-dict blob (future writer / manual DB edit) back
+    to `{}` rather than returning it raw, so callers can always treat config as a
+    mapping.
+  - ✅ **Replaced the inference-based prefill (PR #2133).** That merged PR
+    prefilled the composer by *inferring* defaults from the project's newest
+    session (host/agent/repo + a fresh worktree branch) — an explicit non-goal
+    workaround for the absence of stored project defaults. Now that the dialog
+    reads the stored `config`, the inference path is retired: `projectPrefill.ts`
+    is collapsed to config-only seeding, and `useNewestProjectSession` (plus its
+    `["project-newest-session"]` cache invalidations) is removed. Stored config
+    is the single source of truth for a project's defaults; a project with no
+    config prefills nothing project-specific (just the generic defaults).
+
+### TODO
+**Postponed.** Phases 1–2 (first-class projects + defaults) are shipped. Phases 3
+and 4 below are **not scheduled**, each on a different trigger: Phase 3 waits for
+customer evidence that project memory/context is wanted; Phase 4 waits until
+telemetry shows most clients have migrated to a version that writes `project_id`
+(so retiring the label path is safe). Both are additive and independent, so either
+can start whenever its trigger lands.
+
+- ⏸️ **Phase 3 — memory & context (P4b/P4c)** — new `project_memory` /
+  `project_context` tables + agent read/write + injection (§8.2/§8.3). Postponed:
+  the largest remaining chunk and the one with open design questions (§14 Q5/Q6);
+  wait for customer evidence that cross-session project memory/context is wanted
+  before committing to a storage + agent-surface design.
+- ⏸️ **Phase 4 — label consolidation (postponed; not required for the feature).**
+  Because the server dual-reads (a session is "in project X" if it has *either* a
+  `project_id` *or* the `omni_project` label — see §13), the first-class feature
+  works end-to-end without touching the label path, so this whole phase is
+  deferred and may never be needed. Postponed until telemetry shows most clients
+  have migrated to a version that writes `project_id` — retiring the label path is
+  only safe once old label-writing clients are gone. Two steps, both optional:
+  - **Label → `project_id` backfill** — a **separate one-off command/migration**
+    converting existing `omni_project` label-projects (real production data) into
+    `projects` rows. Gives a clean single source of truth, but dual-read means it
+    is **not mandatory** — only needed if/when we decide to retire the label path.
+  - **Retire the label path** — remove the `omni_project` reads/writes and the
+    `?project=<name>` filter. This includes the one UI reader still on the label
+    path: the Settings archived-only project picker
+    (`fetchAllArchivedProjectNames`) derives its options from the `omni_project`
+    label. Last step, if ever; do only after the backfill has run and telemetry
+    shows no client still writes labels. Keeping the label path is cheap, so
+    treat retirement as opportunistic cleanup, not a milestone.
+
+## 13. Backwards compatibility (mixed server / client versions)
+
+Because deployments can run an old client against a new server (or vice versa)
+during a rollout, the design keeps every change additive:
+
+- **DB / old server code, new schema.** Migration `b1c2d3e4f5a6` only *adds* a
+  nullable column and a new table. An older server binary reading the migrated
+  DB simply ignores `project_id` and the `projects` table — no column it selects
+  disappears, no NOT NULL constraint is added. Rollback is a clean
+  `downgrade()` (drops the column + table) since no existing data was rewritten.
+- **New server, old client.** The `/v1/projects` routes and the `project_id`
+  filter are *new* endpoints/params; an old web client that doesn't call them
+  behaves exactly as before. `project_id` is an added field on the session
+  snapshot — old clients ignore unknown JSON fields.
+- **Old server, new client.** A new client may call `/v1/projects` or pass
+  `?project_id=`; against a server without the router mounted these 404 / are
+  ignored. The client must degrade gracefully (treat "no projects endpoint" as
+  "feature off") — a UI requirement to note, not a data risk.
+- **v1 label coexistence.** The label path (`omni_project`, `?project=<name>`)
+  is untouched and runs alongside the new `project_id` path, so a client still
+  on the label API keeps working through the transition. Neither path writes the
+  other's storage, so a mixed fleet can't corrupt state — at worst a session is
+  grouped by label on one client and unfiled by `project_id` on another until
+  the backfill runs.
+- **Server dual-reads to stay client-compatible.** Rather than forcing a client
+  cutover, the server treats a session as "in project X" if it has *either* a
+  `project_id` *or* the `omni_project` label. This keeps old web clients (which
+  still write labels) working indefinitely with no forced upgrade, and means the
+  label path can stay in place — retiring it is an optional, deferred cleanup
+  (§12), not a milestone. The backfill (§12) migrates existing label data into
+  rows for a clean single source of truth, but because of dual-read it is not a
+  correctness prerequisite. Only if the label path is ever removed must clients
+  first have shipped the `project_id` path.
+
+## 14. Open questions
+
+1. **§4** Confirm FK (`project_id`) over label-of-id for membership.
+   (Proposed: FK.)
+2. **§6.2 / §8.1** When starting a session from within a project, auto-fill
+   host/workspace/harness from project defaults (overridable)? (Proposed: yes.)
+3. **§7.1** Case-sensitive, per-owner-unique project names? Max length 100?
+4. **§8.1** Store project defaults as soft hints (drop when unsatisfiable) vs.
+   hard requirements? (Proposed: soft hints.)
+5. **§8.2** Project memory storage: DB vs. workspace files? (Proposed: DB.)
+6. **§8.2/8.3** How is memory/context surfaced to the agent — system-context
+   injection, a tool, or both?
+7. **§9.5** Do we ever want per-viewer filing of shared sessions (Model B), or
+   is a flat "Shared with me" list sufficient long-term?

+- **File materialization, not env injection.** The CLI gates on a local
+  credential (like `gh`) and `DATABRICKS_HOST`/`DATABRICKS_TOKEN` carry
+  only one workspace, so per-profile selection needs a config file. The
+  parent writes a placeholder-only `.databrickscfg` into the sandbox
+  scratch dir — one `[profile]` section per profile with the real `host`
+  and a synthetic `token = oa_cred_*` — and points `DATABRICKS_CONFIG_FILE`
+  at it (and `DATABRICKS_CONFIG_PROFILE` when `default` is set). The CLI
+  emits `Authorization: Bearer oa_cred_*`, which the proxy swaps per host.
+- **Refreshing secret.** Databricks profiles are usually OAuth
+  (`auth_type = databricks-cli`) with a ~1h token, so the rewrite rule
+  holds a `DatabricksProfileTokenProvider` (via the SDK) instead of a
+  static secret. The proxy calls `rule.resolve_secret()` on each swap; the
+  provider re-mints via `Config.authenticate()` at most once per throttle
+  window (the SDK caches in-memory and only re-shells near expiry), so a
+  long session survives token expiry. The provider requires the
+  `databricks` extra and fails loud if it is missing.
+- **Egress is operator-listed.** Reaching a workspace requires its host in
+  `egress_rules` (`* <host>/**`), the same as every other credential-proxy
+  type. The proxy does not widen egress on its own — an earlier draft
+  auto-added resolved hosts, but that was dropped to keep egress behavior
+  consistent across types (the operator declares every reachable host).
+- **Linux only.** The `databricks` CLI is a Go binary and Go on macOS
+  ignores `SSL_CERT_FILE`, so `databricks_cli` is rejected on
+  `darwin_seatbelt` (same rationale as `gh_basic`); use `linux_bwrap`.

+# Native Harness Plugin Interface (Modular Registry Proposal)
+
+Status: draft
+Supersedes nothing; extends `designs/harness-plugin-interface.md`.
+
+## Problem
+
+Omnigent supports **headless / SDK harnesses** as community plugins today (see
+`designs/harness-plugin-interface.md`). A package like `omnigent-foo` declares a
+`HarnessContribution` entry point, fills `harness_modules` / `aliases` /
+`install_specs`, and core wires it in generically — because an SDK harness plugs
+in as *pure data*: one import-path string per harness, dispatched through
+`omnigent.runtime.harnesses._HARNESS_MODULES` and `runner/routing.py`.
+
+**Native (terminal / TUI) harnesses are not pluggable.** A native harness wraps
+a real vendor CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, Goose, …) in a tmux/PTY or
+local-server session, tails its transcript, mirrors output back into Omnigent,
+and mediates auth / permissions / resume / interrupt. Adding one today means
+editing core in ~10 places. The registry *rejects* any community contribution
+that sets `native_harnesses` or `native_agents`:
+
+```python
+# omnigent/harness_plugins.py:716
+if contribution.native_harnesses or contribution.native_agents:
+    return (
+        f"community harness plugin {entry_point_name!r} registers native terminal "
+        "metadata, but community native terminal harnesses are not supported yet"
+    )
+```
+
+`designs/harness-plugin-interface.md` § "Native TUI Harnesses" already names the
+blockers: *"the runner, chat-resume, CLI-command, interrupt/stop, and built-in
+agent seeding paths are not pluggable."* This proposal turns that list into a
+concrete plan.
+
+## What is already pluggable
+
+The **data model** is done. `NativeCodingAgent` is a frozen dataclass of stable
+wire metadata, contributions carry a tuple of them, and everything downstream
+reads them through registry accessors:
+
+- `omnigent/harness_plugins.py` — `NativeCodingAgent`, `HarnessContribution`
+  (fields `native_harnesses`, `native_agents`), `native_agents()`,
+  `native_harnesses()`.
+- `omnigent/native_coding_agents.py` — indexes the registry rows by
+  `agent_name` / `harness` / `wrapper_label` / `terminal_name`.
+- `omnigent/_wrapper_labels.py` — the canonical wrapper-label string constants.
+- `omnigent/harness_aliases.py` — canonicalization (`native-pi` → `pi-native`).
+
+Nothing in this proposal changes the *shape* of `NativeCodingAgent`; it adds a
+behavior side-channel and rewrites the dispatch that currently ignores it.
+
+## What is NOT pluggable — the coupling inventory
+
+Every blocker is **imperative per-harness dispatch** that branches on
+`harness_name == "<x>-native"` or `native_agent.key == "<x>"` and does an inline
+`import omnigent.<x>_native`. Grouped by hub:
+
+### 1. The runner — `omnigent/runner/app.py` (~10.1k lines) + `omnigent/runner/native/orchestration.py` (~6.5k) — the epicenter
+
+Phase 0 (#3148) moved the native *builders and mirrors* out of `app.py` into
+`omnigent/runner/native/orchestration.py` (re-exported through
+`omnigent/runner/native/__init__.py`), shrinking `app.py` from ~20.1k to
+~10.1k lines. The imperative per-harness *dispatch* still lives in `app.py`;
+it now calls the imported builders instead of locally-defined ones. The
+coupling left to untangle:
+
+- **Spawn-env dispatch** (`app.py`, 11 arms): `if harness_name ==
+  "<x>-native" and spawn_env is None: ... build_<x>_native_spawn_env`.
+- **Launch dispatch** (`app.py`, 11 arms) → `_auto_create_<x>_terminal(...)`.
+- **`_auto_create_<x>_terminal`** functions (11 of them) — now in
+  `runner/native/orchestration.py`; each imports its own `<x>_native_bridge` /
+  `<x>_native_forwarder` / `<x>_native_permissions` and wires the transcript
+  forwarder + permission/usage/compaction mirrors, alongside the
+  `_supervise_*_bridges` mirrors (`_supervise_cursor_native_bridges`,
+  `_supervise_goose_native_bridges`, `_supervise_hermes_native_bridges`,
+  `_supervise_qwen_native_bridges`). Still the dominant blocker — the split
+  gave it a home but the `if key ==` dispatch that reaches it is unchanged.
+- **Interrupt / stop dispatch** (`app.py`) → `_handle_<x>_native_interrupt` /
+  `_handle_<x>_native_stop` closures (kept in `app.py`, not extracted).
+- **Terminal-route dispatch** (`app.py`): `terminal_name == "<x>"` →
+  `_auto_create_<x>_terminal`.
+- Plus the 11 `*_NATIVE_TERMINAL_ROLE` imports and the cost-popup bridge-dir
+  dispatch (both in `app.py`).
+
+### 2. Native launch — `omnigent/cli.py` (~14.5k lines)
+
+Each native TUI is a hand-written `@cli.command` (`claude`, `codex`, `opencode`,
+`pi`, `cursor`, `kiro`, `goose`, `hermes`, `antigravity`, `qwen`, `kimi`), each
+importing `from omnigent.<x>_native import run_<x>_native` and calling
+`_reject_native_on_windows("<x>")` with a literal name. No registry indirection
+generates these.
+
+### 3. Resume / resume-redirect
+
+- `omnigent/resume_dispatch.py:216` (`_dispatch_wrapper`) — the canonical
+  11-branch `if native_agent.key == "<x>":` chain, each `import
+  run_<x>_native`. Used by `omnigent resume`.
+- `omnigent/chat.py:1057` (`_redirect_native_resume_if_needed`) — a parallel,
+  partially-covered (6 of 11) resume-redirect keyed on `native_agent.key`, with
+  hand-written `_run_<x>_native_resume_redirect` helpers.
+
+### 4. Built-in `*-native-ui` agent seeding — `omnigent/server/app.py`
+
+`_ensure_default_agents` calls 11 hardcoded `_ensure_default_<x>_agent(...)`,
+each paired with a `_build_<x>_native_bundle()` that imports
+`_materialize_<x>_agent_spec`. `omnigent/db/utils.py:builtin_agent_id` and
+`omnigent/session_import/local.py` depend on the fixed built-in names.
+
+### 5. Enumerations parallel to the registry (should *derive* from it)
+
+- `omnigent/spec/_omnigent_compat.py:88` — `OMNIGENT_HARNESSES` /
+  `OMNIGENT_HARNESS_ALIASES` frozensets re-list all native ids + `native-*`
+  aliases.
+- `omnigent/onboarding/harness_readiness.py` — per-family frozensets gating
+  readiness/auth.
+- `omnigent/onboarding/harness_install.py:219` — `_HARNESS_NAME_TO_KEY`.
+- `omnigent/model_override.py` / `omnigent/model_catalog.py` — `*_FAMILY` /
+  `_CURSOR_HARNESSES` frozensets.
+- `omnigent/server/routes/sessions.py` — `_FORK_HISTORY_NATIVE_HARNESSES`,
+  `_CURSOR_FORK_HISTORY_HARNESSES`, per-harness wrapper-label/model constants,
+  and fork/switch gating.
+- `omnigent/runner/resource_registry.py` — 11 `*_NATIVE_TERMINAL_ROLE`
+  constants + the native-role status set.
+- `omnigent/runtime/harnesses/__init__.py:36` — a **dead** `_HARNESS_MODULES`
+  literal listing every `<x>-native` module (overwritten at `:152`). Delete.
+
+### 6. The web mirror — `web/src/lib/`
+
+`nativeCodingAgents.ts` duplicates all 11 rows + aliases; `forkHarness.ts`,
+`AgentCard.tsx` (icon switch), and `sessionStop.ts` / `sessionCapabilities.ts` /
+`codexPlanMode.ts` hardcode wrapper-label literals. Truly community-contributable
+native harnesses need the web driven by `GET /v1/harnesses`, not literals.
+
+## Design: a `NativeHarnessProvider` behavior seam
+
+Mirror how SDK harnesses supply *one import path* (`harness_modules[id]`). A
+native harness supplies a small set of import paths for the lifecycle hooks the
+dispatch hubs currently hardcode. `NativeCodingAgent` stays a pure-data
+identity row; behavior lives in a sibling provider resolved lazily (respecting
+the plugin import rules — `get_contribution()` must stay import-light).
+
+```python
+# omnigent/harness_plugins.py (new)
+@dataclass(frozen=True)
+class NativeHarnessProvider:
+    """Import paths for a native harness's lifecycle hooks.
+
+    Every value is a dotted path resolved lazily at dispatch time, so
+    get_contribution() never imports the runner/CLI/provider stack.
+    """
+    key: str                       # matches NativeCodingAgent.key
+    run_native: str                # "...:run_<x>_native"  (CLI + resume launch)
+    auto_create_terminal: str      # "...:auto_create_<x>_terminal"  (runner)
+    spawn_env_builder: str | None = None   # "...:build_<x>_native_spawn_env"
+    interrupt_handler: str | None = None   # "...:handle_<x>_native_interrupt"
+    stop_handler: str | None = None        # "...:handle_<x>_native_stop"
+    materialize_agent_spec: str | None = None  # "...:_materialize_<x>_agent_spec"
+    bridge_dir: str | None = None          # "...:bridge_dir_for_session" (cost popup)
+```
+
+Add to `HarnessContribution`:
+
+```python
+    native_providers: tuple[NativeHarnessProvider, ...] = ()
+```
+
+And accessors in `omnigent/harness_plugins.py`:
+
+```python
+def native_providers() -> tuple[NativeHarnessProvider, ...]: ...
+def native_provider_for_key(key: str) -> NativeHarnessProvider | None: ...
+```
+
+A tiny resolver (new `omnigent/native_dispatch.py`) turns a dotted path into a
+callable with `importlib`, caching per path, so each hub calls
+`resolve(provider.run_native)(server=..., session_id=..., args=...)` instead of
+an `if/elif` arm. `run_native` must accept a uniform `(*, server, session_id,
+extra_args: tuple[str, ...])` signature — the per-harness `run_<x>_native`
+functions are near-uniform already, so this is mostly a keyword-arg
+normalization, not a rewrite.
+
+### Signature normalization
+
+The one real API change: today `run_claude_native(claude_args=...)`,
+`run_pi_native(pi_args=...)` each name their pass-through arg differently. The
+provider seam requires a single spelling (`extra_args`). Keep the existing
+functions, add thin `**kwargs`-tolerant wrappers, or rename the parameter with a
+back-compat alias for one release (per CLAUDE.md deprecation policy, note the
+target release).
+
+### Rewriting each hub
+
+| Hub | Today | After |
+|---|---|---|
+| `resume_dispatch.py` `_dispatch_wrapper` | 11 `if key ==` arms | `resolve(provider.run_native)(...)` |
+| `cli.py` native subcommands | 11 `@cli.command` funcs | loop over `native_agents()`, register one Click command each; `_reject_native_on_windows` reads the row |
+| `runner/app.py` launch + terminal-route | 11 arms → `_auto_create_<x>_terminal` | `resolve(provider.auto_create_terminal)(...)` |
+| `runner/app.py` spawn-env | 11 arms | `resolve(provider.spawn_env_builder)(...)` when set |
+| `runner/app.py` interrupt/stop | 11 arms each | `resolve(provider.interrupt_handler / stop_handler)(...)` |
+| `chat.py` resume-redirect | 6 arms | fold into the same provider `run_native`; delete the per-harness redirect helpers |
+| `server/app.py` seeding | 11 `_ensure_default_<x>_agent` | loop over `native_agents()`, materialize via `provider.materialize_agent_spec` |
+| enumerations (§5) | frozensets/dicts | derive from `native_agents()` / capability flags |
+
+### Capability-driven behavior (replace the ad-hoc frozensets)
+
+Several §5 sets encode *behavior*, not identity — e.g.
+`_FORK_HISTORY_NATIVE_HARNESSES` ("rebuilds fork transcript") and
+`_CURSOR_FORK_HISTORY_HARNESSES` ("replays history as a text preamble"). These
+should become fields on `HarnessCapabilities` (which already exists and is
+asserted in `tests/test_harness_capabilities.py`) — e.g. a `fork_history:
+Literal["none","rebuild","preamble"]` axis — so the server reads the capability
+instead of membership in a hand-maintained set. This also feeds `/v1/harnesses`
+so the web can stop hardcoding `forkHarness.ts`.
+
+### Validator flip
+
+Once the hubs resolve through the registry, replace the hard reject in
+`_validate_community_contribution` with positive validation:
+
+- every `native_agent.key` has a matching `native_provider.key`;
+- provider import paths start with `COMMUNITY_MODULE_PREFIX` (same rule as
+  `harness_modules`);
+- native-agent identity values don't collide with an existing contribution
+  (the `_native_agent_identity_values` check already exists — keep it);
+- `run_native` and `auto_create_terminal` are non-empty.
+
+## Phasing
+
+This is a **substantial refactor, not a small extension**. The realistic path
+is an internal refactor first (built-in native harnesses keep living in core but
+route through the generic seam), then a thin follow-up that opens it to
+community packages.
+
+### Phase 0 — Prep: split the oversized dispatch files
+
+The refactor is concentrated in files that are already too large to edit safely.
+The goal is **< 10k lines per file**. Before adding the seam, carve the
+native-specific code into cohesive modules so the provider rewrite touches small
+files with clear boundaries. This is behavior-preserving and independently
+reviewable/mergeable. Each extraction is a mechanical move + import fix, verified
+by the existing test suite and `pre-commit run --all-files`. No behavior change;
+no `if key ==` arm removed yet.
+
+Done:
+
+- **`cli.py`** ✅ (#3047) — native subcommand bodies moved into
+  `omnigent/cli_native.py` (they already delegate to `run_<x>_native`); `cli.py`
+  registers them. `cli.py` is now 9.6k lines; `cli_native.py` 1.3k.
+- **`server/routes/sessions.py`** ✅ (#3097) — split into a facade
+  (`sessions.py`, now 7.8k) that star-imports an impl package
+  (`omnigent/server/routes/_sessions/`: `common.py`, `helpers.py`,
+  `orchestration.py`). `create_sessions_router` stays in the facade.
+- **`runner/app.py`** ✅ (#3148) — the native builders and bridge mirrors
+  (`_auto_create_*_terminal`, `_supervise_*_bridges`, the transcript-forwarder
+  task registry, cost-popup repop tasks) moved into
+  `omnigent/runner/native/orchestration.py` (~6.5k lines), re-exported through
+  `omnigent/runner/native/__init__.py`; `app.py` imports them. `app.py` dropped
+  from ~20.1k to ~10.1k lines. Landed as a single `orchestration.py` rather than
+  the proposed `terminals.py` / `supervise.py` / `interrupt.py` three-way split —
+  a further sub-split can happen when the seam lands if the module stays hot.
+  The `if key ==` / `if harness_name ==` dispatch arms and the interrupt/stop
+  handler closures stayed in `app.py` (they are the entry points Phase 1
+  rewrites), so `app.py` is still marginally over the 10k target.
+- **`tests/runner/test_app_sessions_native.py`** ✅ (#3149) — the ~19.0k-line
+  monolith was split into nine concern-scoped modules
+  (`test_app_sessions_native_{events_lifecycle,events_options,supervision,
+  terminal_routing,terminals_autocreate,terminals_runtime,wake_forwarders,
+  workflow_init,workflow_messages}.py`) plus a shared `tests/runner/conftest.py`
+  (~0.7k) holding the scaffolding. Each new file is under 3k lines.
+
+Deferred (under the 10k target already; fold into Phase 1 when the seam lands):
+
+- **`chat.py`** (4.2k) → move the `_run_<x>_native_resume_redirect` helpers into
+  `resume_dispatch.py` (they duplicate its dispatch anyway) as the first step of
+  collapsing the two resume paths into one.
+
+### Current state (verified 2026-07-24, at `main` `59e6b70e`)
+
+Grounding the plan in the actual tree, not just the coupling inventory above:
+
+- **Data model is ready.** `NativeCodingAgent` (`harness_plugins.py:49`) is 11
+  frozen rows; `HarnessContribution` (`:70`) has `native_harnesses` /
+  `native_agents` but **no** `native_providers` field yet;
+  `native_coding_agents.py` already indexes rows by agent_name / harness /
+  wrapper_label / terminal_name. `HarnessCapabilities`
+  (`harness_capabilities.py:79`) exists with an optional-field extension
+  pattern (`steering`, `live_queue`, `images`, `compaction`) but **no**
+  `fork_history` axis.
+- **`run_<x>_native` is already near-uniform.** All 11 are `(*, server,
+  session_id, <x>_args, resume_picker=..., ...)`. The divergence is only the
+  pass-through arg *name* plus four harnesses carrying extra kwargs: claude
+  (`command`, `use_claude_config`), codex (`command`, `model`, `prompt`),
+  antigravity (`command`, `model`, `permission_mode`), opencode (`model`). So
+  signature normalization is a keyword-rename with a threaded `**extra`, not a
+  rewrite — lower risk than "Signature uniformity" under Risks suggested.
+- **Coverage is uneven across hubs** (a correctness smell the seam fixes):
+  `resume_dispatch._dispatch_wrapper` covers 10, `chat.py`
+  `_redirect_native_resume_if_needed` only 6 (missing opencode/goose/hermes/
+  antigravity/qwen), runner interrupt handlers 9, stop handlers 7. Routing
+  everything through one resolver *normalizes* coverage.
+- **The dead `_HARNESS_MODULES` literal still exists** (`runtime/harnesses/
+  __init__.py:36`, overwritten at `:152`) — not yet deleted.
+- **`harness_catalog()` (`harness_plugins.py:899`) does not emit native-agent
+  rows** — only `{id, label, capabilities?, setup_steps?}` per harness, no
+  `agent_name` / `wrapper_label` / icon. The web is still 100% literals.
+
+Roughly **60+ hardcoded duplication points across ~12 Python + 6 TS files**
+plus the five dispatch hubs remain.
+
+### Phase 1 — Internal provider seam (core-only)
+
+Built-ins keep living in core but route through the generic seam. The test bar
+for every PR here is **"every native harness behaves identically before/after"**
+— lean on the split native test suite (#3149) and the native e2e skills. The
+validator keeps rejecting community native metadata throughout Phase 1.

+### Effort summary
+
+- **Phase 1** (internal seam): ~17–25 engineer-days.
+- **Phase 2** (community + web): ~9–12 engineer-days.
+- **Total: ~26–37 engineer-days** of focused work across ~12 PRs (splittable to
+  ~14 with 1.5 and 2.3 breaking in two). Folding in review cycles, CI, and
+  runner e2e validation, that is realistically **~2–3 calendar months** done
+  alongside other work. The critical path is 1.1 → 1.2 → 1.5 (runner) →
+  2.2 → 2.3 (web); the risk center is **PR 1.5**, where the `_supervise_*_bridges`
+  invariants live.
+
+## Risks and open questions
+
+- **Runner extraction is the risk center.** The `_supervise_*_bridges` mirrors
+  hold subtle forward-cursor / restart / double-post invariants (see the
+  `_AUTO_FORWARDER_TASKS` transcript-forwarder registry, now in
+  `runner/native/orchestration.py`). Phase 0's move (#3148) preserved these
+  behaviorally — verified by the split native test suite (#3149) — so the
+  remaining risk shifts to Phase 1, where the dispatch that reaches these
+  mirrors gets rewritten. Lean on the existing native e2e skills
+  (`claude-native-ui:build-omnigent`, `pi-native-e2e-dev`, etc.).
+- **Signature uniformity.** Not every native launcher is trivially uniform
+  (opencode has a cold-boot app-server path, codex has WS JSON-RPC). The
+  provider may need an optional `transport`/`cold_boot` hook rather than
+  forcing one signature. Validate against the two hardest (codex, opencode)
+  before committing the protocol.
+- **Windows.** `_reject_native_on_windows` must keep firing for contributed
+  natives — make it a registry-driven guard, not per-command.
+- **Import hygiene.** Providers hold *strings*; the resolver is the only place
+  that imports harness modules, and only at dispatch time — preserving the
+  plugin import rules from `harness-plugin-interface.md`.
+- **Capability axis scope.** Which of the §5 sets are genuinely
+  behavior-capabilities (belong on `HarnessCapabilities`) vs. pure identity
+  (derive from rows) needs a per-set decision; fork-history is the clearest
+  capability candidate.
+
+## Bottom line
+
+The data model is ready and Phase 0 (the file splits) has landed. The remaining
+work is untangling native orchestration from five `runner/app.py` chains and
+four other hubs into a `NativeHarnessProvider` behavior seam, then flipping the
+validator — sequenced as ~12 PRs (Phase 1: 1.1–1.8 core-only; Phase 2: 2.1–2.4
+community + web), ~26–37 engineer-days total. Start with the additive foundation
+(1.1 provider model + resolver), which unblocks everything; the risk center is

+# Server-side streaming dictation
+
+## Problem
+
+The composer mic button (`web/src/components/ComposerMicButton.tsx`) relies on
+the browser Web Speech API. That API is only backed by a real recognizer in
+official Chrome/Safari builds (Google/Apple cloud speech); it is unavailable
+in Electron, Firefox, Chromium, and most self-hosted contexts. Today the
+button renders nothing (or "Dictation unavailable") in those environments —
+`web/electron/README.md` documents the gap and prescribes the fix: capture
+audio in the client and transcribe it on the Omnigent server.
+
+This design adds that path: a streaming speech-to-text WebSocket on the
+server, backed by a local [sherpa-onnx](https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx)
+model (CPU, no cloud, no per-request cost), with the mic button falling back
+to it whenever Web Speech is unavailable.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Dictation works in Electron, Firefox/Chromium, and the iOS/Android wrappers
+  (mic permissions are already wired in all three).
+- Audio never leaves the operator's infrastructure.
+- Live partial transcripts stream into the composer while the user speaks
+  (the Web Speech path today only inserts final utterances).
+- Zero new required dependencies: the STT engine ships as an optional extra
+  (`omnigent[dictation]`), imported lazily, mirroring the `s3`/`modal`/
+  `daytona` extras' posture. Servers without the extra (or without models)
+  report `available: false` and the web UI silently keeps its current
+  behavior.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Voice *conversations* (TTS replies, wake words, hands-free turn taking).
+- Replacing the Web Speech path where it works today.
+- Terminal REPL dictation (possible follow-up; shares the engine).
+- Speaker diarization, translation, non-English models beyond whatever
+  sherpa-onnx model the operator installs.
+
+## Server
+
+### Engine — `omnigent/server/dictation.py`
+
+A small engine layer isolates the recognizer behind a protocol so tests
+(and alternate backends, e.g. Whisper or an OpenAI-compatible
+transcription API) don't need the native dependency:
+
+```python
+class DictationStreamHandle(Protocol):
+    def feed_pcm16(self, data: bytes) -> DictationUpdate: ...  # decode a chunk
+    def finish(self) -> str: ...                              # flush tail, final text
+    def close(self) -> None: ...                              # release (client vanished)
+
+@dataclass(frozen=True)
+class DictationUpdate:
+    partial: str          # current in-progress utterance, display-ready (revisable)
+    finalized: str | None # utterance completed by endpointing, if any
+```
+
+Emitted text is **display-ready** — an engine that needs punctuation/casing
+applies it internally before returning, so the route and protocol stay
+engine-agnostic. Most modern models (Whisper, Parakeet) punctuate
+themselves; sherpa is the exception (see below).
+
+**Engine registry.** Engines are registered by name and selected via
+`OMNIGENT_DICTATION_ENGINE`:
+
+```python
+register_engine("sherpa", lambda: SherpaDictationEngine(...), available=_sherpa_available)
+register_engine("fake", FakeDictationEngine)
+```
+
+Adding an engine (Whisper, Parakeet, a hosted API) is one `register_engine`
+call with a factory and an optional availability probe — no edits to
+`get_engine` or `engine_availability`. Third-party engines register
+themselves on import. The default (unset env var) is `sherpa`.
+
+`SherpaDictationEngine` implements the protocol with a process-wide
+`OnlineRecognizer` (streaming transducer: `encoder/decoder/joiner + tokens`)
+shared across connections — the ~650 MB weights load once — plus one
+recognizer *stream* per WebSocket. Endpointing folds completed utterances
+into `finalized` and resets the stream, exactly the loop proven in pi-voice.
+An optional `OnlinePunctuation` model re-punctuates partials/finals
+(lowercase + strip punctuation before re-adding, throttled) so the live
+preview reads like a sentence. This punctuation is **internal** to the
+sherpa engine — the raw transducer emits lowercase, unpunctuated text, so
+the streams beautify before returning; it is not part of the protocol.
+
+Decode calls are CPU-bound → they run via `asyncio.to_thread`, serialized by
+a per-engine `threading.Lock` (sherpa recognizer streams are not documented
+thread-safe), with a module-level semaphore capping concurrent dictation
+connections (default 2, `OMNIGENT_DICTATION_MAX_STREAMS`).
+
+### Configuration
+
+| Env var | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `OMNIGENT_DICTATION_MODEL_DIR` | `~/.omnigent/models/dictation/asr` | dir containing `encoder*.onnx`, `decoder*.onnx`, `joiner*.onnx`, `tokens.txt` |
+| `OMNIGENT_DICTATION_PUNCT_DIR` | `~/.omnigent/models/dictation/punct` | optional online-punctuation model dir (`model*.onnx` + `bpe.vocab`) |
+| `OMNIGENT_DICTATION_MAX_STREAMS` | `2` | concurrent dictation WebSockets |
+| `OMNIGENT_DICTATION_ENGINE` | unset (`sherpa`) | engine to use by registered name (`sherpa`, `remote`, `fake`) |
+| `OMNIGENT_DICTATION_REMOTE_URL` | unset | worker stream URL for the `remote` engine, e.g. `ws://venus:8100/v1/dictation/stream` |
+
+`scripts/fetch-dictation-models.sh` downloads a known-good pair (streaming
+Nemotron 0.6 B int8 + English online punctuation, both Apache-2.0 upstream)
+into the default locations. Availability is computed lazily and cached:
+extra installed **and** ASR model dir populated.
+
+**Hardware sizing.** Any sherpa-onnx streaming transducer directory works —
+point `OMNIGENT_DICTATION_MODEL_DIR` at it. Streaming dictation needs ≥1×
+realtime decode; measured with this engine loop (int8, 4 threads, 100 ms
+chunks):
+
+| Model | Apple M-series | Intel N95 (4 E-cores, loaded box) | RAM |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Nemotron 0.6 B (fetch-script default) | ~9× realtime | 0.6–0.7× — **too slow** | ~1.0 GB |
+| `streaming-zipformer-en-2023-06-26` | — | 1.4–2.3× realtime | ~190 MB |
+| `streaming-zipformer-en-20M` | — | 3.6–4.9× realtime | ~130 MB |
+
+On N100/N95-class mini-PC servers, use the mid-size zipformer (accuracy held
+up in spot checks; the 20 M model audibly degrades) and consider
+`OMNIGENT_DICTATION_MAX_STREAMS=1`.
+
+**Other languages.** The engine is language-agnostic — dictation speaks
+whatever language the installed model was trained on. The
+[sherpa-onnx streaming-model catalog](https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/pretrained_models/online-transducer/index.html)
+includes Chinese, Chinese/English bilingual
+(`sherpa-onnx-streaming-zipformer-bilingual-zh-en-2023-02-20`), French
+(`sherpa-onnx-streaming-zipformer-fr-2023-04-14`), Korean, and more; point
+`OMNIGENT_DICTATION_MODEL_DIR` at any of them. Two caveats: the fetch
+script's punctuation model is English-only, so leave
+`OMNIGENT_DICTATION_PUNCT_DIR` unpopulated for other languages (raw
+recognizer output is emitted as-is), and the mic button's `lang` prop only
+affects the Web Speech path — the server path's language is decided by the
+operator's model choice.
+
+### Remote worker
+
+Where a mini-PC server can't run the model an operator wants at realtime, the
+`remote` engine relays each take to a **dictation worker** on a beefier LAN
+box. The worker is just `create_dictation_router` served on its own — it
+speaks the exact same wire protocol the browser does (PCM frames up,
+transcript events down), so no new protocol or code path was needed. The
+browser never talks to the worker; the main server authenticates the user on
+its own route, then relays over a `websockets` client.
+
+Run the worker wherever the models live (it is **unauthenticated** — bind it
+to a trusted LAN/VPN only):
+
+```
+pip install omnigent[dictation] && scripts/fetch-dictation-models.sh
+python -m omnigent.server.dictation_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8100
+```
+
+Then select the `remote` engine on the main server via env vars — no CLI
+integration is required:
+
+```
+OMNIGENT_DICTATION_ENGINE=remote \
+OMNIGENT_DICTATION_REMOTE_URL=ws://<worker-host>:8100/v1/dictation/stream \
+omnigent server ...
+```
+
+`RemoteDictationEngine` registers by name like every other engine (no changes
+to the route, protocol, or selection logic). `_RemoteStream` bridges the
+worker's async push events into the synchronous handle interface via a daemon
+reader thread, and `close()` releases the worker's capacity slot promptly.
+Fallback is per take: if the worker is unreachable and local models are
+installed, a lazily-built local sherpa engine serves the take instead (its
+weights cost no RAM until the worker actually goes down); each new take
+retries the worker first.
+
+Client timeouts (`web/src/lib/dictation.ts`) are widened to exceed the
+worker's cold-load budget (`_REMOTE_READY_TIMEOUT_S` / `_REMOTE_STOP_TIMEOUT_S`
+in `dictation.py`) so a relayed take doesn't time out on the browser side just
+as the worker finishes loading its model.
+
+### Routes — `omnigent/server/routes/dictation.py`
+
+`create_dictation_router(*, auth_provider=None, engine_provider=None)`,
+registered in `create_app` under `/v1` like every other router. Dictation is
+not session-scoped (the new-chat composer has no session yet), so auth is
+identity-level only: authenticated user required when an auth provider is
+configured, open in single-user/dev mode — the same posture as
+`GET /v1/harnesses`.
+
+Availability rides the existing boot-time capability probe —
+`dictation_available` on **`GET /v1/info`** — rather than a dedicated
+endpoint; the UI needs one boolean, once per page load.
+
+- **`WS /v1/dictation/stream`** — wire protocol (documented in the module
+  docstring, mirroring `terminal_attach.py`):
+  - **Client → server, binary frames**: raw 16 kHz mono s16le PCM.
+  - **Client → server, text frames**: JSON control messages.
+    `{"type": "stop"}` requests a flush; unknown shapes are ignored for
+    forward compatibility.
+  - **Server → client, text frames**: JSON events.
+    - `{"type": "ready"}` — sent once after accept; the client may start
+      streaming audio.
+    - `{"type": "partial", "text": ...}` — revisable in-progress utterance,
+      throttled to ~6 Hz.
+    - `{"type": "final", "text": ...}` — an utterance completed by
+      endpointing; the client appends it and clears the partial region.
+    - `{"type": "stopped", "text": ...}` — response to `stop`: the flushed
+      tail utterance (possibly empty). The server closes after sending it.
+    - `{"type": "error", "message": ...}` — fatal; server closes.
+
+The route holds no session state; a connection is one dictation take.
+
+## Web
+
+### Capture — `web/src/lib/dictation.ts`
+
+`DictationSession` owns the full client pipeline:
+`getUserMedia({audio})` → `AudioContext` → `AudioWorkletNode` (the worklet,
+inlined as a Blob module, downsamples from the context rate to 16 kHz and
+converts Float32 → Int16, posting 100 ms chunks) → binary WS frames via
+`resolveWebSocketUrl("/v1/dictation/stream")` (the same host seam the
+terminal-attach and session-updates sockets ride, so embed hosts and the
+Vite dev proxy keep working). Callbacks: `onPartial`, `onFinal`, `onError`;
+`stop()` sends `{"type":"stop"}`, resolves with the flushed tail, and
+releases the mic tracks and audio context.
+
+Availability comes from the existing `/v1/info` capability context
+(`useServerInfo().dictation_available`) — no extra request.
+
+### Mic button — `ComposerMicButton.tsx`
+
+Mode selection: **Web Speech when the browser has a working one, server
+dictation otherwise** — no behavior change for Chrome/Safari users;
+Electron, Firefox, and Chromium gain a working button. "Working" cannot be
+detected statically: Electron and plain Chromium expose the
+`SpeechRecognition` constructor but its cloud backend rejects them at
+runtime with a `network` error. So Web Speech stays primary whenever the
+constructor exists, and a take that dies with `network` falls back to the
+server **for that take** (retried immediately, so the user's click still
+lands); the next take tries Web Speech again, so a transient blip in real
+Chrome never permanently downgrades the page. With no constructor at all
+(Firefox), takes go to the server directly.
+
+New optional prop `onInterim?: (text: string) => void`. In server mode the
+button emits `onInterim` for partial frames and the existing
+`onTranscript` for finals. Both composers (`ChatPage`, `NewChatDialog`)
+share a small hook, `useDictationInsert(setValue)`, that appends finals and
+maintains a replaceable trailing interim region in the textarea value, so
+text forms live while speaking. When `onInterim` is absent (Web Speech
+mode), behavior is exactly today's.
+
+## Testing
+
+- **Server (pytest, `tests/server/routes/test_dictation.py`)**: drive the
+  real route with `TestClient.websocket_connect` and a fake engine injected
+  through `engine_provider` — no sherpa dependency in CI. Cases:
+  `/v1/info` availability (with and without an engine), ready→partial→final
+  →stopped flow, stop-flush, auth rejection with a no-identity provider,
+  stream-cap rejection.
+- **Engine unit tests** skip unless sherpa-onnx and models are present
+  (developer machines), keeping CI hermetic.
+- **Web (Vitest, `ComposerMicButton.test.tsx` + `dictation.test.ts`)**:
+  mode selection, partial/final callback flow against a mocked WebSocket and
+  mocked AudioWorklet capture.
+- **e2e (Playwright, `tests/e2e_ui/`)**: a fake engine selected via env
+  (`OMNIGENT_DICTATION_ENGINE=fake`, emits a scripted transcript) lets the
+  full browser→WS→server→composer loop run headless without a mic:
+  the test grants fake mic permissions, clicks the mic button, and asserts
+  the scripted text lands in the composer.
+
+## Rollout / compatibility
+
+- No schema changes, no migrations, no new required deps.
+- Servers without the extra: `/v1/info` reports `dictation_available: false`;
+  the web UI behaves exactly as today.
+- Old web clients against new servers: unaffected (new route + one new
+  `/v1/info` field only).
+- New web clients against old servers: `/v1/info` lacks the field → treated
+  as unavailable → today's behavior.

+## Network requests + simulated delay
+
+Two related knobs for reasoning about **network cost** — the round-trips a
+journey makes and what they'd cost over a real network, both of which loopback
+otherwise hides.
+
+### Requests-per-op (`http_requests` / `avg_http_requests_per_op`)
+
+Every run reports how many HTTP requests **the server handled** during its
+timed region, divided by successful ops → requests-per-op. This is the
+deterministic, noise-free signal: a change that adds or removes a round-trip
+moves the count directly, independent of timing jitter.
+
+The value is the *server-side* count, not just what the benchmark process
+issues — so for the full-turn (`needs_runner`) journeys it also captures the
+cross-process traffic a client-side hook can't see (runner → server callbacks,
+host → server). That's where the count is genuinely unknown and interesting; for
+the HTTP/API journeys it's known by construction (`list_sessions` = 1,
+`create_session` = 2 for the POST + inline DELETE, etc.).
+
+How it works, and why it never ships in production:
+
+- The server already tracks a cumulative request counter
+  (`ServerPerformanceMetrics.total_started`), but it lives in the server
+  subprocess's memory and is only pushed to OTel. The harness needs to *read*
+  it, so a tiny router (`debug_router.py`) exposes it at
+  `GET /debug/server-metrics`.
+- That router lives under `dev/`, which `pyproject.toml` excludes from the wheel
+  (`include = ["omnigent*"]`) — a production install can't even import it.
+- It's mounted only via the `debug_router_modules` config key, which mirrors the
+  existing `policy_modules` load-by-dotted-path seam (`create_app` →
+  `_load_debug_routers`). The harness's generated `server.yaml` sets it;
+  production config never does. A module that fails to import is logged and
+  skipped, so a stray key is a no-op where `dev/` is absent.
+- The harness (`environment.py`) reads the endpoint around each run's timed
+  region and diffs it (subtracting its own closing poll). Counting is
+  best-effort: if the endpoint is unreachable the run still reports latency,
+  just with `http_requests: null`.
+
+**Per-route appendix (`network_routes`).** Beyond the single per-op number, the
+endpoint also returns a per-route tally (keyed by the low-cardinality FastAPI
+template, e.g. `POST /v1/sessions`), so each journey's `summary` carries a
+`network_routes` breakdown — every endpoint the journey hit, its total request
+count, and per-op count, sorted chattiest-first. Since the count is near
+identical across runs, it's summed across the summary runs and grouped by route.
+This is what makes the count *actionable*: for `session_cold_start` it names
+which endpoints the ~12 requests/op are spread across (including the
+cross-process runner→server / host→server calls), not just the total. The
+harness's own counter-poll route is filtered out. The raw per-run map is in each
+run's `route_requests`.
+
+**Tunnel round-trips are not counted.** Steady-state server↔runner traffic is
+frames multiplexed over one long-lived WebSocket tunnel, not fresh HTTP requests
+— so neither this counter nor an HTTP hook sees them as "requests." Counting
+tunnel frames would need instrumenting the tunnel transport; it's out of scope
+for v1.
+
+### Simulated network delay (`--network-delay-ms`)
+
+Loopback has ~zero latency, so the benchmark can't tell a chatty journey (many
+round-trips) from a lean one on wall-clock alone. `--network-delay-ms MS`
+(default `0`) injects an artificial sleep before **every request the benchmark
+client sends**, via an httpx request event hook — modelling a real client↔server
+network hop. Combined with the per-op request count, `delay × requests-per-op`
+is the wall-clock cost those round-trips add, so the two features reinforce each
+other when testing a network optimization.

+**Scope note (v1):** the delay models the **client↔server** hop only — the hop
+the benchmark process owns. The cross-process server↔runner tunnel and
+server→mock-LLM hops are *not* delayed (they'd need injecting sleep into the
+runner's client / the tunnel transport, in separate processes). Documented
+follow-up. The nightly and PR workflows run at `0` for stable, comparable trend
+data; dispatch the workflow with a higher `network_delay_ms` when investigating
+a network optimization.
+
+**Mind the CI time budget.** The delay applies to *every* client→server
+request, so it multiplies across the full-turn journeys' round-trips — a cold
+start makes ~12 requests/op. A large delay across the whole default journey set
+can exceed the workflow's 30-min per-leg timeout (empirically, with the older
+poll-based turn driver `network_delay_ms=100` over all journeys timed out; `10`
+finishes in ~6 min). For a bigger delay, pair it with a `--journeys` subset of
+the HTTP journeys, where the count is 1–2/op.

+**Failures never abort the run.** A per-operation error is recorded in that
+run's `failures` breakdown (keyed `HTTP 500` etc.); a run in which *every*
+operation failed keeps its per-run row but is excluded from the `summary`
+averages (`runs_ok` < `runs_total`) so a failed run can't masquerade as an
+infinitely fast one. A journey whose `setup` fails (e.g. a 500 resolving a
+target session — the exact crash this harness used to die on) records a single
+`setup: HTTP 500` failed run and moves on. Any other unexpected per-journey
+error is caught in `run.py`, recorded as `"skipped": true` with the `error`
+string, and the remaining journeys still run. Skips/all-failed journeys are
+non-fatal on their own, but if any CI threshold (`--max-p50-ms` etc.) is
+supplied, a journey with no successful sample fails the gate — the guarantee
+couldn't be verified.

+"""CI-only debug router exposing the server's request counter over HTTP.
+
+The benchmark harness runs the server as a subprocess, so it cannot read the
+in-process ``ServerPerformanceMetrics`` counter directly. This router surfaces
+that counter on ``GET /debug/server-metrics`` so the harness can diff it around
+each journey's timed region and report requests-per-op — including the
+cross-process traffic (runner → server callbacks, host → server) that a
+client-side hook in the benchmark process can't see.
+
+**This never reaches the production server.** Three independent reasons:
+
+1. The module lives under ``dev/``, which ``pyproject.toml`` excludes from the
+   wheel (``include = ["omnigent*"]``), so a production install cannot import it.
+2. It is loaded only via the ``debug_router_modules`` config key, which the
+   benchmark's generated ``server.yaml`` sets and production config never does.
+3. ``create_app`` loads the module tolerantly — an ``ImportError`` logs a
+   warning and skips, so even a stray config key is a no-op where ``dev/`` is
+   absent.
+
+``create_app`` reads the module-level ``DEBUG_ROUTERS`` list (mirroring the
+``POLICY_REGISTRY`` convention) and mounts each ``(router, prefix, tags)`` entry.

+pod, via `uv run omnigent …`, with the pod's isolated env applied
+(`OMNIGENT_DATA_DIR`, `OMNIGENT_DATABASE_URI`, `OMNIGENT_CONFIG_HOME`,
+`OMNIGENT_URL`). It resolves the same repo root and pod dir the supervisor
+uses, so a command talks to the pod's database and config — and `OMNIGENT_URL`
+points at a running supervisor's server when one is up.
+
+```bash
+omnidev omnigent agent run "fix the flaky test"
+omnidev omnigent config show
+omnidev --pod-dir /tmp/x omnigent agent list   # target a specific pod
+```
+
+Everything after the subcommand is forwarded verbatim to omnigent. It runs in
+the foreground (inheriting your stdio) and exits with omnigent's status code.
+It acquires **no** lock, so it coexists with a running supervisor — the common
+case: the server is up and you issue a command against it. Use `--` to pass
+flags that look like omnidev's own:
+
+```bash
+omnidev omnigent -- --verbose agent run …

+
+Supervisor-only flags (`--server-port`, `--clean`, `--no-vite`, …) don't apply
+to the passthrough; only `--pod-dir` is shared.

-Status enum observed live: `CORTEX_STEP_STATUS_{DONE, WAITING, ERROR}` (and transient `PENDING/RUNNING/GENERATING` in `metadata.internalMetadata.statusTransitions`).
-Step-type enum observed live (9 distinct): `USER_INPUT, CONVERSATION_HISTORY, PLANNER_RESPONSE, CHECKPOINT, RUN_COMMAND, LIST_DIRECTORY, ASK_QUESTION, VIEW_FILE, CODE_ACTION` (VIEW_FILE / CODE_ACTION observed in the trajectory but not all saved as fixtures — the mapper only needs the type/status discriminator + the per-type payload key, which follows the same `camelCase(type)` convention, e.g. `viewFile`, `codeAction`).
-
-### 1.1 ERROR fixture provenance
-
-`run_command_error.json` is the **one synthesized fixture** (all others are verbatim live captures). It was **derived from the live `run_command_waiting.json`** (same conversation `2399249c…`, same real `trajectoryId`/`stepIndex`) by flipping `status` `WAITING`→`ERROR` and appending the `WAITING`→`ERROR` `statusTransition` — i.e. exactly the timeout flip described in design §2.1. The WAITING shape and the timeout-flip behavior are both live-verified; only this exact ERROR *snapshot* is synthesized. The fixture carries an explicit `_fixtureProvenance` string so it can never be mistaken for a verbatim capture (drop/ignore that key when asserting shape).
-
-Why synthesized rather than captured: I made several honest live attempts and none produced an ERROR within a reasonable window:
-- left an `ASK_QUESTION` `WAITING` step unanswered for ~3 min → stayed `WAITING` (no timeout);
-- left a `RUN_COMMAND` permission `WAITING` step (`echo hello-spike`, index 42) unanswered for >5 min → stayed `WAITING` (no timeout);
-- `CancelCascadeSteps {cascadeId}` returned `200 {}` but did **not** flip the `WAITING` step (see §4).
-
-So in agy 1.0.10 the `WAITING`-interaction timeout window is **long (minutes), not seconds** — the §2.1 gotcha is real (the prior memory hit it via slow human delivery) but it is not a quick way to elicit an ERROR step in a spike. Treating ERROR as the labelled-synthesized fallback (per the task brief) was the right call rather than blocking the task.
-
----
-
-## 2. Step 3 — turn-send verdict
-
-**Verdict: KEEP tmux `send-keys` for user turns. Do NOT use an RPC to send turns.** (Confirms the prior memory + design §2/§7.)
-
-Evidence:
-- A turn typed via `tmux send-keys -t agy-spike '<text>' Enter` is recorded as a `CORTEX_STEP_TYPE_USER_INPUT` step with **`metadata.source = CORTEX_STEP_SOURCE_USER_EXPLICIT`** and `userInput.userResponse == "<text>"` (see `user_input.json`). This is exactly what the read path keys on, so send-keys turns are attributed correctly.
-- `SendAgentMessage` (the only message-injection RPC on the surface) is documented (memory + design) to record the turn as a `SYSTEM_MESSAGE` ("not actually sent by the user"), which the mapper would then skip/mis-attribute — so it cannot drive user turns. I did **not** re-issue `SendAgentMessage` in this spike (no need to perturb the live session to re-confirm a settled, documented negative; and the mapper already skips USER_INPUT regardless).
-- I scanned the live RPC surface for a *proper* user-turn method (a queued-user-input / "send all queued messages" path). The methods exercised/observed on `LanguageServerService` this session were `Heartbeat`, `GetConversationMetadata`, `GetCascadeTrajectorySteps`, `HandleCascadeUserInteraction`, `StreamAgentStateUpdates`. No `SendAllQueuedMessages` / `EnqueueUserInput` / `SubmitUserTurn`-style method was found that records as `USER_INPUT`. **No viable user-turn RPC exists in 1.0.10.**
-
-Implication for the plan: the executor's `run_turn` stays on tmux `send-keys` (design §5/§7 unchanged). Only **interactions** (answers/approvals) and **interrupt** move to RPC.
-
-### 2.1 Important live finding — attended TUI keeps its OWN prompt in parallel with RPC
-
-When agy runs **attended** (auto-exec OFF) and you drive turns by `send-keys`, the **TUI maintains its own permission/question prompt in-process, in parallel with the RPC step state.** Observed live:
-- An RPC `HandleCascadeUserInteraction` approval flips the trajectory step to `DONE` and the command runs (verified: `run_command_done.json` has `exitCode:0` + output) — but the **TUI prompt for that same interaction can stay open**, and a subsequent `send-keys` lands in that TUI prompt's filter/amend buffer instead of starting a new turn (observed: a follow-up turn got concatenated into the persist-pattern option text). Pressing `Escape` clears the stale TUI prompt (the TUI then reports "User declined the tool call" for *its* prompt, harmlessly — the RPC-approved command had already run).
-
-Consequences for the production design:
-- This is a **non-issue for the real bridge**, which is RPC-driven for interactions and does NOT type interaction answers via the TUI. It is a strong **reason to deliver interactions over RPC, not send-keys**.
-- But it means a turn `send-keys`d **while a prior interaction's TUI prompt is still open** can be swallowed. The runner-owned terminal in production should ensure the TUI is at an idle `>` prompt before send-keys'ing a new turn (the read driver already knows the trajectory is idle — no `WAITING`/`RUNNING` step — which is the right gate). Worth a note in Task 11/12.
-
----
-
-## 3. Step 4 — read-mode verdict
-
-**Verdict: default to `StreamAgentStateUpdates` (server-stream) with `GetCascadeTrajectorySteps` polling as the fallback / reconcile path.** (Matches the memory lean + design §6.)
-
-### 3.1 `GetCascadeTrajectorySteps` (poll) — reliability baseline
-- Unary `POST {"cascadeId": conv}` → `200 {"steps":[...]}`. Rock-solid every call this session (dozens of calls, 0 failures). Returns the **complete** step list each time (full snapshot), with explicit per-step `status` — trivial to dedup by `stepIndex`/identity. Typical round-trip a few ms on loopback.
-- This is the **simplest correct** read path and the natural reconcile-on-reconnect mechanism. The whole point of the RPC rework (design §3) is that these structured snapshots remove the JSONL cursor/gap logic and fix the double-render.
-
-### 3.2 `StreamAgentStateUpdates` (server-stream) — latency win, framing caveat
-- **Request MUST be connect-enveloped.** This is a correction to the memory note: sending a bare JSON body `{"conversationId": conv}` to `StreamAgentStateUpdates` returns a single connect error frame:
-  `{"error":{"code":"invalid_argument","message":"... protocol error: promised 576941934 bytes in enveloped message, got 53 bytes ..."}}`
-  — the server reads the first 5 bytes of the JSON as the connect envelope header. The body must be framed as `[flag:1=0x00][len:BE-uint32][json-bytes]` (same 5-byte envelope as the response frames). Content-Type `application/connect+json`.
-- With the **enveloped** request: `200`, the stream **stays open and long-polls**. First frame carrying steps arrived **~0.13 s after a turn was sent** (measured: `first_steps_frame_at = 0.132 s`); the stream then emits a burst of incremental `update` frames as steps progress (`update.mainTrajectoryUpdate.stepsUpdate.steps[]`), each `flag=0`, then blocks (long-poll) when the trajectory goes idle. A trailing `flag=2` frame carries the connect end-of-stream / error envelope.
-- **Reliability caveat:** because the stream blocks when idle, a naive reader must use a read timeout / heartbeat and reconnect, and must **reconcile via a `GetCascadeTrajectorySteps` snapshot on (re)connect** to avoid missing a transition that happened during a gap. The connect framing (envelope on both request and response) is fiddly to get exactly right (cost me one iteration), so the client wrapper must own it and be unit-tested against the captured frames.
-
-### 3.3 Recommendation
-- **Default: stream** for low-latency detection of `WAITING` interactions and step progress (~130 ms vs a poll interval), **with poll as the fallback**: (a) reconcile snapshot on every (re)connect, (b) fall back to pure polling if the stream errors/regresses. This matches design §6 ("polls `GetCascadeTrajectorySteps` *or* consumes `StreamAgentStateUpdates`").
-- **Acceptable de-scope:** if the connect server-stream framing proves too costly to harden in the implementation tasks, **ship poll-first** (a tight `GetCascadeTrajectorySteps` loop, e.g. 250–500 ms while a turn is active) and add the stream as a follow-up. Polling alone is fully correct (full snapshots + explicit status); the only thing lost is sub-second push latency. The interaction bridge's tight detect→deliver loop (design §2.1) already re-reads the freshest `WAITING` step at delivery time, so poll-first does not compromise interaction correctness.

-## 4. Other live confirmations (for Tasks 2/3/5/8/10)
-
-- **Approval round-trip (Task 3/8):** `HandleCascadeUserInteraction {cascadeId, interaction:{trajectoryId, stepIndex, permission:{allow:true}}}` → `200 {}`; the `RUN_COMMAND` step flipped `WAITING`→`DONE` with `exitCode:0` and real `combinedOutput.full`. `trajectoryId`+`stepIndex` come from the WAITING step's `metadata.sourceTrajectoryStepInfo`. (Exactly the memory shape; `permission.allow`, no `approvalId`.)
-- **Answer round-trip (Task 3/8):** `HandleCascadeUserInteraction {... interaction:{trajectoryId, stepIndex, askQuestion:{responses:[{question:"<verbatim>", selectedOptionIds:["4"]}]}}}` → `200 {}`; the `ASK_QUESTION` step flipped to `DONE` and the cascade proceeded autonomously. `selectedOptionIds` uses the option `id` (`"1".."N"`), not the text.
-- **Tool cwd:** agy executes `run_command` in its own scratch dir (`combinedOutput.full` for `pwd` = `/Users/bryanli/.gemini/antigravity-cli/scratch`), NOT the agy launch CWD. Benign, but worth knowing for any cwd-sensitive parity check.
-- **`GetConversationMetadata` ownership probe** still works as the discovery module expects (`metadata.rootConversationId` echo) — port discovery via `omnigent/antigravity_native_rpc.py` worked first try.
-- **`CancelCascadeSteps` (Task 10) — accepts `{cascadeId}` but does NOT cancel a WAITING-for-interaction step.** `POST CancelCascadeSteps {"cascadeId": conv}` → `200 {}` (so, contrary to the old `antigravity_native_rpc.interrupt_turn` worry, the *conversation/cascade id alone is accepted* as the request key — no internal invocation id was needed for a `200`). **However** the live `RUN_COMMAND` `WAITING` step did **not** change status after the call (still `WAITING`, no new `statusTransition`). So for Task 10: `CancelCascadeSteps {cascadeId}` is wired-up-able with just the conversation id, but its effect on a step that is `WAITING` on a human interaction is a **no-op** here — it likely targets in-flight `RUNNING`/generating steps, not interaction-pending ones. **Task 10 must verify cancel against a RUNNING step** (e.g. cancel mid-generation, or mid-long-command) to confirm it actually interrupts, and should pair cancel-of-an-interaction with delivering a **deny** (`permission.allow:false` / `askQuestion` skip) to actually unblock a `WAITING` step. Whether `ForceStopCascadeTree` behaves differently was not tested.

-## 5. Concerns / follow-ups
-
-- **ERROR fixture is synthesized** (the only one) — see §1.1. The `WAITING` timeout window in 1.0.10 is minutes-long, so a real ERROR snapshot wasn't elicitable in the spike window. If Tasks 4/5 want a verbatim ERROR step, capture one opportunistically during the Task 13 live run (let an interaction sit, or hit a real tool error) and replace the fixture.
-- **`CancelCascadeSteps` is a no-op on WAITING-for-interaction steps** (§4) — Task 10 must validate the real interrupt against a `RUNNING` step, and unblock `WAITING` steps with a deny rather than a cancel. Don't assume `200 {}` == "interrupted".
-- **Connect stream framing** (request envelope, §3.2) is a sharp edge — the Task 2/6 client wrapper must own request+response enveloping and be unit-tested against captured frames; do not hand it to callers. If hardening it slips, ship poll-first (§3.3) — fully correct, only loses sub-second latency.
-- **Attended TUI vs RPC interaction** (§2.1): production runner should gate `send-keys` turns on an idle trajectory (no `WAITING`/`RUNNING` step); surface in Task 11/12.
-- Step payload key follows `camelCase(type)` (e.g. `RUN_COMMAND`→`runCommand`, `VIEW_FILE`→`viewFile`); the mapper can rely on this convention but should default-skip unknown types rather than assume a payload key exists.
