+- The first `vp run dev` in a worktree does this for you when its database is missing and the source is at most 500 MiB. Larger sources warn and dev starts with an empty database. `--no-seed` or `T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0` skips seeding. Manual migration still accepts larger sources and may use substantial disk space before pruning.
 - Run `vp run migrate-dev-db` with your dev server stopped to refresh. It rebuilds `<worktree>/.t3/userdata/statev2.sqlite` from a read-only snapshot of `~/.t3/userdata/statev2.sqlite`, the developer's real data. It keeps recent projects and their stopped threads, and drops scheduled tasks, pending work, and auth sessions, so your dev server never runs the developer's agents. Raise `--projects` and `--threads-per-project` for more data.

+For authorized mobile verification, a missing or outdated native client is an install step, not a blocker.

It installs the dev client for this checkout's native fingerprint from the shared cache in seconds and builds only when no machine has built it yet, so prefer it over `expo run:*`, `xcodebuild`, or `gradlew`, which rebuild from scratch.

+The device argument can be omitted when exactly one device is booted or connected. The helper
+compares this checkout's Expo fingerprint and the installed binary with its last install record,
+and reuses a matching client. Otherwise it installs the build for that fingerprint from
+`~/.cache/t3code/native-clients/artifacts`, then the shared task cache, and builds only when
+neither has it. One iOS simulator build serves every iPhone and iPad simulator, and one APK per
+ABI (x86_64 or arm64-v8a) serves every emulator and phone of that ABI. Build output goes to the
+log file it prints (`T3_NATIVE_CLIENT_VERBOSE=1` streams it instead). Builds are shared back when
+your task-cache login (`bash infra/task-cache/install.sh`) can write. `T3_NATIVE_CLIENT_CACHE=read`
+skips the upload and `off` skips the shared cache. Physical iPhones still use `vp run ios:dev`.
+
+`--session <name>` installs into an agent-device session opened elsewhere, such as a device pool
+or a cloud simulator, instead of a local device: `vp run mobile:install android --session pool-1
+--metro http://<this-machine>:8081`. It uses only the cached build (x86_64 by default; `--abi`
+for ARM) and fails with the next step when no machine has built this fingerprint yet.
+
+For a read-only decision, run `node ../../scripts/mobile-native-client.ts check <ios|android>
+[device]`: exit 0 means compatible, 2 means an install is needed, and 1 means an operational error.

 To replace it, commit the fork changes, run `yarn install --immutable` and `yarn workspace react-native-enriched-markdown prepare` in the fork checkout, then `node scripts/pack-t3.mjs /path/to/t3code/apps/mobile/deps`. Keep the package version aligned with Julius's `fork/t3-mobile` branch. Rename the archive to include the first eight characters of the source commit, such as `react-native-enriched-markdown-1.2.0-t3.16-8d2f84a8.tgz`, so each build has a distinct dependency path without version bumps. Update the tarball path in `apps/mobile/package.json` and `pnpm-workspace.yaml`'s `allowBuilds`, and run `vp i` to update the lockfile. Native clients need rebuilding when this dependency changes.

+- Read checks with `cafe pr status <n>`, and GitHub Actions logs with `cafe ci logs <run>` (run ids
+  from `cafe ci list --pr <n>`). `cafe ci rerun <run>` reruns one. These need `cafe` 0.11 or newer.
+- Write closing references as `Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#<n>`. GitCafe turns a bare `#<n>` in text it
+  syncs to GitHub into a git.cafe link, and GitHub does not close issues from those.
+- Merge with `gh pr merge <n> --match-head-commit <sha>`, because `cafe pr merge` cannot pin the

+Each process reports its own build, not the one it talks to: the server, the desktop main process,
+the UI, and the mobile app each carry `t3code.release.channel` (`dev`, `stable`, `nightly`, or
+`preview`, from their own version; desktop PR builds count as `preview`, and a server not built by a
+release workflow reports `dev`) and `deployment.environment.name` (`development`, `production`, or
+`staging` for `preview`). On the server and the desktop main process either key in

+set `VITE_RELEASE_CHANNEL=preview` because their `APP_VERSION` must stay comparable with the

+reports `dev` from a development bundle.
 
 Attributes specific to T3 Code use the `t3code.` prefix. The UI runs as `t3code-web` in both a
 browser and the desktop window, since it is the same code, and `t3code.client.surface` is `desktop`
 or `web`. The server's `t3code.server.managed_by` is `desktop` when the desktop app launched it and

+`process.runtime.description`, and UI traces report `browser.language`, `user_agent.original`, and,

 If the OTLP URLs are unset, local tracing still works, metrics stay in-process only, and logs stay

 The smoke check uploads a unique fixture, restores its output into a cold second directory, changes its input, and confirms recomputation. It also checks that anonymous reads and uploads are rejected. Cacheable commands must run through `vp run`; direct `vp test` or `vp check` invocations do not use this cache.
 
+## Native clients
+
+`/projects/t3code/native-clients/<platform>/<variant>/<expo-fingerprint>` stores simulator and emulator development clients for `scripts/mobile-native-client.ts` in a separate `-native-clients` R2 bucket with 30-day retention. Unlike Vite Task entries, the Expo fingerprint is portable, so a client built on any Mac or Linux machine serves every other one. Readers download; writers upload through R2 multipart in 64 MB parts, because Workers cap request bodies. The uploader's bundle digest is stored as object metadata and checked by the client before it installs anything.
+
 ## Current limits
 
 - Vite Task separates operating systems and CPU architectures. macOS results do not satisfy Linux CI; Linux developer machines can populate compatible CI results.
 - The current protocol retains one result for each execution key. Competing source versions can overwrite each other's entry. Inputs are validated before reuse, so this causes misses rather than stale hits. Merging to main does not promote or reset the cache.
 - A local hit makes no remote request and is not uploaded retroactively. Clear only an isolated worktree's task cache when testing uploads of an already-cached task.
-- Production retains results for seven days within an 8 GB budget. Remote errors fall back to execution. `VP_REMOTE_CACHE=off vp run ...` disables the remote tier for one invocation.

-/**
- * CliProviderAuth — a generic `ProviderAuthController` for providers whose
- * credentials are owned by an external CLI (its keychain entries, credential
- * files, or an instance-level API key environment variable).
- *
- * Each driver advertises a list of `CliAuthMethodSpec`s on its snapshot's
- * `setup.authMethods`; the controller runs them:
- *
- *   - `saved-credentials` re-probes the provider so credentials the CLI
- *     already holds (a previous `devin auth login`, a macOS Keychain entry,
- *     `~/.codex/auth.json`, …) are picked up without a sign-in flow.
- *   - `paste-credential` stores a pasted key — usually a sensitive provider
- *     environment variable (`XAI_API_KEY`, `WINDSURF_API_KEY`, …) — then
- *     re-probes.
- *   - `cli` spawns the provider's own login command (`codex login
- *     --device-auth`, `cursor-agent login`, …), surfaces the URL / device
- *     code it prints, and optionally pipes a pasted response to its stdin.
- *   - `effect` runs an arbitrary scoped effect — used for Devin's ACP
- *     `authenticate` browser flow.
- *
- * Sign-in is always explicit: sessions never invoke these methods, and ACP
- * session runtimes are built without `authMethodId` so every new thread no
- * longer triggers a login.
- *

-The \`t3-code\` MCP server provides app-owned orchestration. Treat these concepts distinctly:
-
-- A delegated task/subagent is child work owned by the current thread. Use \`orchestrator_capabilities\` to discover the current provider/model IDs from the same live catalog as the composer, including configured custom models. It lists a short set of models per provider; pass \`search\` to find others. Do not treat a native tool's model list as the full list of available subagent models. Prefer native subagent tools for same-provider work only when they support the chosen model and no model options are requested or inherited. Use \`delegate_task\` with that provider instance and model when native tools cannot, including for same-provider work. Also use \`delegate_task\` for cross-provider or explicitly T3-owned child tasks. For a child task that needs a separate checkout, use \`delegate_task\` with \`isolation:"worktree"\` across any provider or model. It starts from the parent local commit and runs project setup; uncommitted edits are not copied. Retain each returned \`taskId\`, and use \`task_status\` or \`task_cancel\` to manage it.
-- \`t3_thread_launch\` and \`create_threads\` create ordinary top-level T3 conversations. Use them only when the user explicitly asks for separate/new/top-level threads or conversations. Never use them merely because the user said "subagent" or requested parallel delegated work.
-- For independent T3 delegated review rounds, call \`delegate_task\` again. Include the original brief, prior findings, responses, and unresolved objections in each new task prompt. Track each round by its own \`taskId\`. Use a distinct \`clientRequestId\` per round, stable across retries of that round. For a follow-up that needs the same child's conversation, use \`t3_thread_send\` on its \`childThreadId\`.`,
-  `- \`schedule_task\` creates persistent recurring work in the app scheduler. Pass \`schedule\` as a structured object, never as JSON text: \`{"type":"interval","everyMs":3600000}\` for an interval, or \`{"type":"fixed_time","timeOfDay":"09:00","weekdays":[1,2,3,4,5]}\` for a wall-clock schedule, or \`{"type":"webhook"}\` to run on each request to the returned \`webhookUrl\` (the run sees the request only through \`{{body.path}}\`-style placeholders in the prompt). By default runs return to the current thread, which suits orchestrating: each trigger arrives here and you delegate or dedupe; set \`bindToCurrentThread=false\` only when the user wants a fresh thread for every run. After scheduling a timer, report the returned cadence and next run time; for a webhook, report its \`webhookUrl\`, or say T3 Connect remote access is needed if it is missing.
-- When you need a secret from the user (a token, API key, or signing secret), call \`request_secret\` yourself so they enter it privately: its \`secretRef\` goes to a T3 tool, and \`delivery: "file"\` gives a private file for shell commands. Never ask for a secret in chat, never invent one, and never repeat one.
-- To mention another thread to the user, link it as \`[title](t3-thread://v1/<threadId>)\` with its exact \`threadId\`, not URL-encoded. T3 Code opens the thread in the app and shows its current title.
-- When you mention something you have the URL for, link it by its full URL rather than a bare name or number: a Linear issue (\`[ENG-123](https://linear.app/acme/issue/ENG-123)\`), a GitHub issue, pull request, repository, release, or commit, a Slack or Discord message, a Notion page, or a Granola note. T3 Code shows these links with a live preview.`,
-  `### Choose the workspace before starting a new thread or subagent
-
-A delegated subagent shares the caller's checkout unless \`delegate_task\` gets a \`workspaceStrategy\` (\`worktree\` or \`existing_worktree\`, same shapes as below, no \`root\`). With one, the app creates or binds the worktree and runs its setup before the subagent starts, and the subagent stays a child of this thread. Use it for parallel subagents whose edits would otherwise collide, and whenever a subagent's work lives in another checkout, including another project's repository: \`existing_worktree\` accepts a worktree of any T3 project and runs that project's setup. Native subagent tools always start in your checkout, so do not hand one a path and tell it to \`cd\` there. A preparation failure fails the task with the reason in its summary. It requires a full-access/default caller.
-
-For independent implementation or a PR stack in its own top-level thread, use \`t3_thread_launch\` with an explicit \`workspaceStrategy\`. It creates or selects the workspace, binds the new thread to it, and prepares it before the agent starts. Put the task in \`message\`, not \`prompt\`:
-
-- New worktree: \`{"title":"UI cleanup","workspaceStrategy":{"type":"worktree","baseRef":"feature/base","branch":"feature/ui-cleanup","startFromOrigin":false},"message":"Implement the cleanup and open a PR against feature/base."}\`
-- Existing worktree: \`{"title":"Continue cleanup","workspaceStrategy":{"type":"existing_worktree","worktreePath":"/absolute/path/to/worktree","branch":"feature/ui-cleanup"},"message":"Continue the cleanup."}\`
-- From a pull request: \`{"title":"Review #123","workspaceStrategy":{"type":"pull_request","reference":"https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123"},"message":"Review the PR."}\`. The app fetches the PR head, including from forks, reuses a worktree that already has its branch or creates one, and runs setup, exactly as the composer's "start from PR" does. Use it instead of fetching or checking out PR branches yourself.
-- Project's main checkout: \`workspaceStrategy:{"type":"root"}\`. Omitting workspaceStrategy also selects root; it does not inherit the caller's worktree.
-
-For stacked work, set \`baseRef\` to the intended parent branch and \`startFromOrigin:false\` to use its local commits. Use \`startFromOrigin:true\` when you intend to fetch the base branch's remote and start from it. A \`worktree\` launch creates \`branch\`, so a branch that already exists is refused; bind its checkout with \`existing_worktree\` or start from its PR. Uncommitted edits are not copied. Use \`t3_worktree_list\` to discover existing checkout paths. Project, model selection, and modes inherit unless supplied; a launched thread may not run with broader modes than yours.
-
-\`t3_thread_launch\` is the single-thread launch tool. Use \`create_threads\` only for a batch of threads intentionally sharing the caller's checkout: it always inherits the caller's project, branch, and worktree and has no workspace override. Asking an agent to run \`git worktree add\` or \`cd\` in its prompt does not update T3's thread binding. Select the workspace in the launch call instead.
-
-When this thread's own work belongs on another branch, such as a PR into a different base, call \`t3_worktree_handoff\` instead of running \`git worktree add\` or prefixing commands with \`cd\`. It moves the calling thread, not another thread, into a new worktree or, with \`path\` set to that branch's checkout, into an existing one, even when the thread is already in a worktree. Pass the remaining work as \`continuationPrompt\`: the current turn ends and the next one starts in the worktree with the conversation kept.
-
-\`t3_thread_launch\` has no idempotency key. Retain its returned threadId and inspect it with \`t3_thread_read\` / \`t3_thread_wait\`; preparation can still be running after acceptance. If a launch fails or its response is lost, inspect \`t3_thread_list\` before retrying, since a thread may already exist.`,
-  `Tool names may include a harness-normalized MCP prefix, such as \`mcp__t3_code__delegate_task\`; the semantics are the same. Some harnesses attach optional MCP servers lazily: if an initial tool-catalog scan does not show T3 tools, do not conclude that cross-provider delegation is unavailable. Make one bounded direct attempt using the known T3 tool name on the next tool step. In Codex code mode, for example, call \`tools.mcp__t3_code__orchestrator_capabilities({})\` before reporting that the capability is absent. Keep polling/wait loops bounded, do not duplicate active work, and use stable \`clientRequestId\` values when retrying tools that accept them.
-
-ACP fallback: some ACP agents accept the injected MCP server but fail to expose its tools. When the T3 tools are absent and \`T3_ACP_MCP_NODE\` is present, call the same tools through the terminal: \`ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 "$T3_ACP_MCP_NODE" \${T3_ACP_MCP_ENTRYPOINT:+"$T3_ACP_MCP_ENTRYPOINT"} acp-mcp-call orchestrator_capabilities '{}'\` (\`T3_ACP_MCP_ENTRYPOINT\` is unset when T3 runs as a standalone executable). Delegate with \`acp-mcp-call delegate_task '{"task":"...","target":{"providerInstanceId":"...","model":"..."},"mode":"async","clientRequestId":"..."}'\`. This is the supported T3 transport fallback, not an ordinary shell-based substitute for delegation.
-
-### Showing visuals
-
-When a chart, table, diagram, image collage, or mockup would say more than prose, build a self-contained HTML page, check it with \`html_preview\`, then publish it with \`html_render\` before your final reply. The reader sees the page above that reply, so don't announce or restate it; add only what it doesn't say.`,
-  `- When model options are requested or the child keeps the parent's provider instance and model with nonempty \`inheritedOptions\` from \`orchestrator_capabilities\`, use \`delegate_task\` even for native-supported models. Native subagents cannot reliably apply T3 model options. Read the selected model's descriptors from \`orchestrator_capabilities\` and put settings in \`target.options\`, not only in the prompt. Claude commonly uses {"effort":"max","fastMode":true}; Codex uses {"reasoningEffort":"max","serviceTier":"priority"}. Do not translate max to high or ignore unsupported settings: report a capability mismatch. Options inherit only for the same provider instance and model; explicit entries override individual values, and [] or {} clears them. Check the returned providerInstanceId, model, and options against the requested selection.`,
+Ordinary coding tasks need no T3 tools.
+
+- Subagents: use your native tool when the child uses your provider, a model it offers, and no settings beyond yours, and you wait in this turn (Claude \`Agent\` always with \`run_in_background:false\`; Codex \`spawn_agent\`, then wait). Use \`delegate_task\` for another provider's model, user-asked settings, a separate checkout (\`isolation:"worktree"\`), background work, or \`delegate_task\` by name. A native type running another provider's model counts too. Workflow only when asked.
+- Before \`delegate_task\`, call \`orchestrator_capabilities\` once. Again only after an error or a user-named provider change. Settings go in \`target.options\`. Provider or model unavailable: say so. Never switch unasked, or fall back to native tools, Workflow, or CLIs. Never make a child's checkout in the shell or in \`task\`. Use delegate_task workspaceStrategy worktree or existing_worktree (any project) to bind and prepare a child checkout; uncommitted edits are not copied.
+- Every new delegate review or re-check is a new \`delegate_task\` (brief, findings, objections), never a \`t3_thread_send\`. Fix small review findings yourself; start no delegate for them. When told to proceed without a delegate, \`task_cancel\` it. Start no replacement.
+- Follow a running delegate's \`next\`. Do not poll it (\`task_status\`, \`sleep\`, watchers, Monitor, ScheduleWakeup). Stop a delegate run you replace or no longer need with \`task_cancel\`, never \`t3_thread_interrupt\` on a \`childThreadId\`.
+- If you are a subagent or child, do the work yourself. Start no subagents unless your task says to.`,
+  `- \`t3_thread_launch\` and \`create_threads\` make new top-level threads, only when the user asks for a new thread. "Subagent", "delegate", and "parallel" never mean one. Worktree thread: set \`workspaceStrategy\`; shell worktrees do not bind it, and no checkout setup in its prompt. No \`workspaceStrategy\`: project root, not your worktree.
+- A thread handoff uses \`t3_worktree_handoff\` with continuationPrompt; never shell checkout changes. Top-level workspaceStrategy also accepts pull_request reference; stacked work uses baseRef and startFromOrigin:false.
+- Schedules use a structured schedule object, never JSON text; report cadence and next run, or webhookUrl.
+- Given a thread id, \`t3_thread_read\` it before you answer about it.
+- In your reply, a thread's first mention is its \`link\` verbatim. No \`link\`: \`[title](t3-thread://v1/<exact id>)\`. Never a plain title or bare id.
+- A secret: call \`request_secret\` yourself. Pass its \`secretRef\` to a T3 tool, or use \`delivery: "file"\` for a shell command. Never ask in chat or invent one. When asked only to schedule, \`schedule_task\` without running its prompt.
+- T3 tools may load late. Try the name once before you call it absent.`,
+  `### Visuals and preview
+
+- Asked to show a visual here: pass its HTML to \`html_preview\`, then \`html_render\`. If the visual is a file, pass that file's HTML. A screenshot on disk or a text description does not show it. Never start a server for it. Tools a web page exposes give data only. Never use them to show results. Asked for an image to post, send, or use elsewhere: a \`.png\` file and its path, never \`html_render\`.
+- Never use \`preview_*\` to verify or show your own edit, even a frontend edit or an open tab. Do not repeat preview calls from an earlier turn. Use them only when the current request asks for browser work or names a page or tab. Public pages: web fetch or search unless browser work was asked; then preview tools only, no web fetch. Close a tab you opened before you reply, unless the user asked for it or uses it.`,

 const PULL_REQUEST_LINKING_INSTRUCTIONS = `<pull_request_linking>
-When the t3-code MCP server exposes link_pull_request, you must use it to register every pull request you create or work on for this thread. Call link_pull_request with the full PR URL immediately after creating a PR or starting work on an existing PR. For a stack, call it for every layer, not just the current branch or the top PR. This applies when creating or updating PRs through your host's CLI (including its stack commands) or its API: those operations do not register the PRs with this thread. Linking an already-linked PR is safe. Before finishing PR work, call list_thread_pull_requests and link any PR from your work that is missing. Do not link unrelated PRs mentioned only as background. If a linking call fails, report that failure instead of claiming the PR is linked. As a delegated child task, do not watch or poll PRs; return PR URLs, head SHA, and pending review/check state to your parent. Otherwise, when asked to monitor, watch, or babysit a PR and watch_pull_request is available, call it and end your turn: T3 Code wakes you when checks finish, someone else comments, or the branch conflicts, so do not poll or run your own watcher. When monitoring is done and you hand the work back to the user, call unwatch_pull_request first so the thread returns to their inbox.
+Link each PR you create, take over, or push to: one link_pull_request per PR, full URL, every stack layer, as your next call. Host tools do not link for you. If linking fails, say so. Skip PRs you only read or review, and PRs named only as background. Call watch_pull_request when asked to monitor or babysit, or when work you were asked to do, such as a merge, still waits on checks or reviews, even after an earlier unwatch. Finish any needed branch update and push first, then watch and end your turn. Otherwise act now or hand back. Delegated children never watch, even if the brief says babysit. After PR work, a child's last line is: PR <full URL>, head <SHA>, checks and reviews <state>. Links and watches persist across pushes.

+run      Runs the web render scenarios (apps/web/test/renderScenarios.renders.tsx,

+         { scenario: { commits, renders, components } }. With --runs above 1 (default 3)

+compare  Prints a markdown table of commit and render deltas per scenario, plus the
+         components whose counts changed most (default top 10).
+
+commits are React commits that rendered at least one component (null where frame
+timing splits them); renders are function and class component renders, counted from the
+fibers React worked on. Every scenario waits for the tree to go quiet before and after
+its counted window, so layout follow-ups are included.
+
