Prefer NOT to deviate from this PR's original + direction and scope. Implement ONLY suggestions that are reasonable + and genuinely valuable. For suggestions that are over-engineered, + low-value, or inconsistent with the current code, do NOT implement + them — record in address-summary.md why no action is needed. + + ## Merge conflict with base + + CONFLICT_WITH_BASE is "${{ steps.prepare.outputs.conflict }}", base + branch is `main`. + + - If "true": run `git merge origin/main` and resolve every conflict + correctly — understand both sides, never blindly take one — then + make sure the merged result builds and tests pass. Describe in + address-summary.md what conflicted and how you resolved it. + - If "false": the branch merges cleanly; do not merge unnecessarily. + + ## Verify and finish — exactly one outcome + + Whatever you change (feedback fixes and/or a conflict resolution): + keep collocated vitest tests green (add/update tests when feedback + exposes a gap), rebuild (`npm run build && npm run bundle`), and + re-read your full diff as a skeptical reviewer. + + - **Made a change**: commit it as a single Conventional Commit, e.g. + `fix(core): address review feedback (#${{ matrix.target.issue }})`, + and write /tmp/autofix-review/address-summary.md — per point: its + class, your decision, and what changed; plus conflict-resolution + notes if any. + - **Nothing worth doing** (no legitimate critical/blocking issue, no + merge conflict, and no valuable suggestion): do NOT commit. Write + /tmp/autofix-review/no-action.md explaining, per point, why no + action is needed. + - **Cannot confidently address a real, required issue**: write + /tmp/autofix-review/failure.md with what you learned and exit + without committing.

-description: Fix a bug from a GitHub issue, following the reproduce-first
-  workflow
----
-
-# Bugfix
-
-## Input
-
-A GitHub issue URL or number: $ARGUMENTS
-
-## Workflow
-
-### 1. Read the issue and create the issue file
-
-Create `.qwen/issues/` if it doesn't exist, then pipe the issue directly into a
-markdown file using `gh`:
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p .qwen/issues
-gh issue view  \
-  --json number,title,body \
-  -t '# Issue #{{.number}}: {{.title}}
-
-{{.body}}
-
----
-
-## Reproduction report
-
-_Pending — to be filled by the test engineer._
-
-## Verification report
-
-_Pending — to be filled by the test engineer._
-' > .qwen/issues/issue-.md
-```
-
-This file is the single source of truth for the issue. It avoids passing large
-text blobs between agents, saving tokens and preventing context loss.
-
-### 2. Reproduce
-
-Spawn the `test-engineer` agent and tell it to read
-`.qwen/issues/issue-.md` for the issue details, then assess and
-reproduce the bug. Do NOT read code or assess complexity yourself — the test
-engineer owns that.
-
-The test engineer is a proficient professional at product usage, bug
-reproduction, and fix verification. Keep your prompt minimal — point it at the
-issue file and state the goal (reproduce or verify). Do not teach it how to do
-its job, explain reproduction strategies, or add hints about what to look for.
-It will figure that out on its own.
-
-Wait for the test engineer to finish. Then **read
-`.qwen/issues/issue-.md`** to get the reproduction report. If the status
-is `NOT_REPRODUCED`, say so and stop.
-
-### 3. Locate and fix
-
-Read the relevant code and make the fix. Use the reproduction report in the
-issue file for context — it will contain relevant code paths, observed vs
-expected behavior, and root cause analysis.
-
-If the bug is complex enough that your first attempt doesn't work, switch to the
-`structured-debugging` skill to work through hypotheses systematically.
-
-### 4. Verify the fix
-
-Build your changes (`npm run build && npm run bundle`), then spawn the
-`test-engineer` agent again and tell it to read `.qwen/issues/issue-.md`
-and _verify_ the fix. It will re-run its reproduction steps using `node
-dist/cli.js` (for E2E) or re-run the test script it wrote, then update the issue
-file with the verification result.
-
-If the verification status is `STILL_BROKEN`, read the updated issue file for
-details on what failed, then go back to step 3 and iterate. Use the
-`structured-debugging` skill if you haven't already. Do not proceed to step 5
-until verification returns `VERIFIED_FIXED`.
-
-### 5. Tests
-
-Run the unit tests for any packages you modified. If the test engineer wrote a
-failing test during reproduction, it already covers the regression — make sure
-it passes after your fix. Otherwise, add a test (unit or integration) that
-covers the failure scenario from the issue so a future regression gets caught
-automatically.

-description: Commit staged changes with an AI-generated commit message and push
----
-
-# Commit and Push
-
-## Overview
-
-Generate a clear, concise commit message based on staged changes, confirm with
-the user, then commit and push.
-
-## Steps
-
-### 1. Check repository status
-
-- Run `git status` to check:
-- Are there any staged changes?
-- Are there unstaged changes?
-- What is the current branch?
-
-### 2. Handle unstaged changes
-
-- If there are unstaged changes, notify the user and list them
-- Do NOT add or commit unstaged changes
-- Proceed only with staged changes
-
-### 3. Review staged changes
-
-- Run `git diff --staged` to see all staged changes
-- Analyze the changes in depth to understand:
-- What files were modified/added/deleted
-- The nature of the changes (feature, fix, refactor, docs, etc.)
-- The scope and impact of the changes
-
-### 4. Handle branch logic
-
-- Get current branch name with `git branch --show-current`
-- **If current branch is `main` or `master`:**
-- Generate a proper branch name based on the changes
-- Create and switch to the new branch: `git checkout -b `
-- **If current branch is NOT main/master:**
-- Check if branch name matches the staged changes
-- If branch name doesn't match changes, ask user:
-  - "Current branch `` doesn't seem to match these changes."
-  - "Options: (1) Create a new branch, (2) Commit on current branch"
-  - Wait for user decision
-
-### 5. Generate commit message
-
-- Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore
-- Guidelines:
-- Be clear and concise
-- Reference issues if mentioned in changes
-- Include scope in parentheses when applicable (e.g., `fix(insight):`,
-  `feat(auth):`)
-- Add bullet points for detailed changes if it addes more value, otherwise do
-  not use bullets
-- Include a footer explaining the purpose/impact of the changes
-
-**Format:**
-
-```
-(): 
--  (optional)
--  (optional)
-- ...
-
-This .
-```
-
-### 6. Present the result and confirm with user
-
-- Present the generated commit message
-- Show which branch will be used
-- Ask for confirmation: "Proceed with commit and push?"
-- Wait for user approval
-
-### 7. Commit and push
-
-- After user confirms:
-- `git commit -m ""`
-- `git push -u origin ` (use `-u` for new branches)

-## Overview
-
-Take the user's idea or bug description, investigate the codebase to understand
-the full context, draft a GitHub issue for review, and submit it once approved.
-
-## Input
-
-The user provides a brief description of a feature request or bug report:
-{{args}}
-
-## Steps
-
-1.  **Understand the request**
-
-- Read the user's description carefully
-- Determine whether this is a feature request or a bug report
-
-2.  **Investigate the codebase**

+
+# Session Shell Permission Policy
+
+## Problem
+
+`POST /session/:id/shell` executes a shell command directly through the daemon,
+without an LLM tool call or the normal agent permission mediation flow. Before
+this change, the endpoint was a non-strict mutation and could be reached with a
+daemon token plus a session id, or on the tokenless loopback developer default.
+
+That is too much authority for a direct shell surface. A caller should not be
+able to execute shell commands unless the daemon operator explicitly enables
+the surface and the caller proves it is attached to the target session.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Disable direct session shell by default.
+- Require explicit operator opt-in with `qwen serve --enable-session-shell`.
+- Require bearer-token configuration before the opt-in becomes effective.
+- Require a client id that is registered on the addressed session.
+- Apply the same policy at the REST route, ACP HTTP dispatcher, and bridge
+  execution sink.
+- Keep normal agent shell tool approvals and permission mediation unchanged.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- Do not route direct shell through `PermissionMediator`.
+- Do not change prompt submission, prompt queueing, or SDK pending prompt
+  behavior.
+- Do not add a shell-specific rate limiter.
+- Do not add an environment-variable alias for the opt-in flag.
+
+## Design
+
+`runQwenServe` resolves and trims the bearer token once. After that it computes
+one effective boolean:
+
+```ts
+sessionShellCommandEnabled =
+  opts.enableSessionShell === true && token !== undefined;
+```
+
+That value is threaded into the bridge, REST app, and ACP dispatcher. Embedded
+callers that invoke `createServeApp` directly compute token presence using a
+non-empty string check so `token: ''` behaves like no token for both strict
+mutation gating and shell capability advertisement.
+
+The REST route uses `mutate({ strict: true })`. On a tokenless loopback daemon,
+the strict gate returns `401 token_required` before the handler runs. When a
+token is configured, the handler rejects disabled shell with
+`session_shell_disabled`, then requires `X-Qwen-Client-Id`, then validates the
+command body, and finally delegates to the bridge.
+
+The ACP dispatcher keeps `_qwen/session/shell` dispatchable for old clients, but
+does not advertise it in the initialize `_qwen.methods` list unless the
+effective policy is enabled. Disabled ACP calls return a stable
+`session_shell_disabled` JSON-RPC error without logging the command or calling
+the bridge. Enabled calls still require the connection to own the session and
+must use the bridge-stamped session binding client id.
+
+The bridge enforces the final defense-in-depth check at
+`executeShellCommand()`: disabled, missing client id, unknown session, then
+unbound client id. Only after those checks pass does it publish shell events,
+execute the command, or write shell history.
+
+## Error Contract
+
+REST:
+
+- no token: `401`, `code: token_required`
+- disabled: `403`, `code/errorKind: session_shell_disabled`
+- missing client id: `403`, `code/errorKind: client_id_required`
+- malformed or unbound client id: existing `400 invalid_client_id`
+- unknown session: existing `404 SessionNotFoundError` mapping
+
+ACP:
+
+- disabled: `RPC.INVALID_REQUEST`, `data.errorKind: session_shell_disabled`
+- missing session binding client id: `RPC.INVALID_REQUEST`,
+  `data.errorKind: client_id_required`
+- unowned session and invalid client id keep existing JSON-RPC mappings
+
+## Compatibility
+
+`DaemonSessionClient.shellCommand()` continues to work when the daemon is
+explicitly enabled and authenticated because the session client carries the
+session-bound client id. Bare `DaemonClient.shellCommand(sessionId, command)`
+must pass `opts.clientId`, otherwise it receives `client_id_required`.
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+The implementation is covered by focused bridge, REST, ACP transport, serve
+boot, and command-parser tests. The highest-value checks are default-disabled
+behavior, tokenless strict gating, capability advertisement, ACP initialize
+method filtering, bridge sink enforcement, and propagation of the session-bound
+client id.

+# File History Snapshot Persistence
+
+## Summary
+
+This change closes the A+C persistence gaps for `/rewind` file history without
+changing the persisted JSONL schema.
+
+`file_history_snapshot` records remain append-only system records. Resume
+reconstructs file history by reading all snapshot records in linear history and
+deduplicating by `promptId` with last-wins semantics. That means an updated
+snapshot for the same prompt can be appended later without rewriting old logs.
+
+## Snapshot Update Recording
+
+`makeSnapshot(promptId)` still creates the turn-boundary snapshot and the caller
+still records it explicitly. The missing last-turn case is handled by giving
+`FileHistoryService` an optional recorder callback. When `trackEdit(filePath)`
+successfully adds a new backup to the latest snapshot, or heals a failed backup
+entry in that snapshot, it invokes the recorder with the updated snapshot.
+
+Duplicate `trackEdit` calls for an already captured non-failed file do not
+record again because the snapshot did not change.
+
+Recorder errors are swallowed and logged. File editing must remain best-effort:
+file-history persistence must not make edit or write tools fail.
+
+## Persistence Shape
+
+No schema version is added. The existing payload already has enough structure
+for backward-compatible reconstruction:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "system",
+  "subtype": "file_history_snapshot",
+  "systemPayload": {
+    "snapshots": []
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Old logs without these records still resume with no file-history state. Malformed
+snapshot records are skipped with a warning, and valid later records remain
+usable.
+
+No explicit `isSnapshotUpdate` flag is added. Appending another
+`file_history_snapshot` record with the same `promptId` has the same practical
+behavior because `SessionService.loadSession()` already applies last-wins
+deduplication by `promptId`.
+
+## Scope
+
+This is A+C only.
+
+B1 simulated `sed -i` coverage is left for a separate PR. Generic shell edit
+tracking, `getDiffStats` concurrency limiting, and per-file failure reasons are
+also deferred. Claude Code does not support those behaviors today, so qwen-code
+should not add them as part of this compatibility pass.
+
+No migration is required because the persisted record shape is unchanged.

+# Simulated `sed -i` File-History Tracking
+
+## Summary
+
+Support the remaining issue #4204 item B1 by treating a narrow class of `sed -i 's/pattern/replacement/flags' file` shell commands as file edits instead of opaque shell executions.
+
+The simulated path previews the exact text change in the normal edit confirmation UI, records the target file with `FileHistoryService.trackEdit()`, writes through `FileSystemService.writeTextFile()`, and avoids spawning a shell. This lets `/rewind` capture shell-driven in-place edits that are common in agent workflows.
+
+## Scope
+
+Only simple in-place substitutions are simulated:
+
+- `sed -i 's/foo/bar/' file`
+- `sed -i '' -E 's/foo|bar/baz/g' file`
+- `sed -i -e 's/foo/bar/' file`
+
+Commands are not simulated when they include compound shell operators, globs, multiple files, command substitutions, shell variable references inside the sed expression, variable-expanded file paths, backup suffixes such as `-i.bak`, unsupported sed flags, unsupported sed expressions, or background execution. Those cases keep the existing shell execution behavior.
+
+The supported substitution flags are intentionally limited to `g` and numeric occurrences. Flags that can affect stdout or have platform-specific sed behavior, such as `p`, `I`, and `M`, fall back to the shell path. Environment-prefixed shell wrappers also fall back so locale or environment changes cannot be silently ignored by the simulator.
+
+## Behavior
+
+Confirmation reads the target file, applies the parsed substitution in memory, and returns `ToolEditConfirmationDetails` with a normal file diff.
+
+Execution re-reads the file before writing. If the file content differs from the content used for confirmation, execution rejects with `FILE_CHANGED_SINCE_READ` instead of writing a change the user did not approve.
+
+If previewing the file fails, the command is confirmed and executed through the existing shell path instead of being simulated.
+
+The confirmation hides external-editor modify actions because ShellTool is not a general modifiable file-edit tool. If an IDE or host returns an inline `newContent` payload while approving the diff, the simulated sed path writes that approved content after the same stale-content guard.
+
+Before writing, execution calls `FileHistoryService.trackEdit(filePath)` so the current turn's file-history snapshot captures a pre-edit backup. The file-history call is best-effort and never blocks the edit. The write itself uses `FileSystemService.writeTextFile()` with the read metadata so encoding, BOM, and line-ending behavior stays aligned with the Edit and WriteFile tools.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+No persisted schema changes are needed. This is just another source of tracked file edits inside an existing snapshot. Unsupported shell commands continue through the existing shell path, so this does not change generic shell semantics.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+Generic shell mutation tracking remains deferred. Commands like `perl -pi`, `python -c`, `awk`, `cat > file`, `mv`, arbitrary scripts, and multi-file `sed` invocations are not simulated. They require broader shell-effect analysis that claude-code does not support today and is outside B1.

+# Prompt Queue Backpressure
+
+## Summary
+
+`qwen serve` now applies per-session prompt admission backpressure. The default limit is `5` pending prompts per session. A pending prompt is one that the daemon has accepted through `sendPrompt` and that has not settled yet, including prompts waiting in the per-session FIFO and the prompt currently executing.
+
+`branchSession` remains serialized behind the same per-session FIFO, but it is not a prompt and does not consume this prompt limit.
+
+## Semantics
+
+- Default: `maxPendingPromptsPerSession = 5`.
+- Disabled: `0` or `Infinity` means unlimited.
+- Invalid: negative numbers, fractions, and `NaN` are rejected by bridge construction and `runQwenServe`. The CLI flag accepts non-negative integers; `0` disables the cap.
+- Authority: the bridge is the admission gate. SDK-side accounting is an early-fail guard, not a replacement for server enforcement.
+- Prompt deadline: `--prompt-deadline-ms` still applies only to prompts that were already accepted. It is not a queue admission cap.
+
+## Bridge Behavior
+
+`SessionEntry` tracks `pendingPromptCount`. `sendPrompt` is intentionally not `async`, so the admission check can throw synchronously before HTTP routes return `202 Accepted`.
+
+Admission flow:
+
+1. Look up the session.
+2. Reject pre-aborted signals before incrementing the counter.
+3. If `pendingPromptCount >= maxPendingPromptsPerSession`, throw `PromptQueueFullError`.
+4. Increment the counter and enqueue the prompt on the FIFO.
+5. Release the slot exactly once when the caller-visible prompt promise settles.
+
+Failures do not poison the FIFO because the queue tail still swallows each prompt result. The original caller still receives the prompt rejection.
+
+## HTTP Behavior
+
+`POST /session/:id/prompt` catches synchronous `PromptQueueFullError` before emitting an accepted response. The route returns:
+
+- Status: `503`
+- Header: `Retry-After: 5`
+- Body: `{ code: 'prompt_queue_full', error, sessionId, limit, pendingCount }`
+
+No `promptId` is returned when admission fails.
+
+`/capabilities` advertises:
+
+```json
+{
+  "limits": {
+    "maxPendingPromptsPerSession": 5
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When the cap is disabled, the advertised value is `null`.
+
+## ACP HTTP Behavior
+
+The ACP JSON-RPC transport maps `PromptQueueFullError` to a stable error shape instead of falling through to an unstructured internal error:
+
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "errorKind": "prompt_queue_full",
+    "sessionId": "...",
+    "limit": 5,
+    "pendingCount": 5
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## SDK Behavior
+
+`DaemonClient` has a local per-session reservation for `prompt()` calls. It reserves before sending the HTTP request and releases on:
+
+- legacy blocking `200` completion,
+- non-blocking `202` turn completion,
+- `turn_error`,
+- caller abort,
+- SSE end,
+- fetch or response parsing failure.
+
+`DaemonPendingPromptLimitError` means the SDK rejected locally and did not send the prompt request.
+
+The SDK option accepts the numeric capability value directly; `null` disables the local cap to match `/capabilities.limits.maxPendingPromptsPerSession`.
+
+`DaemonSessionClient` applies the same local limit for the long-lived subscription path. Static `createOrAttach`, `load`, and `resume` keep their existing parameter positions; direct construction may override the local cap.

+# TUI Spacing And Density PR1
+
+## Why
+
+The current TUI often spends extra rows on spacing before assistant output,
+between status/tool blocks, and inside expanded tool groups. In common
+sessions this makes simple answers, file lists, tool output, error states,
+diffs, and long streaming output harder to scan because users need to scroll
+through blank space rather than content.
+
+This PR is the first focused pass for QwenLM/qwen-code#4588. It addresses only
+spacing and density so the review can compare row usage before and after
+without also reviewing thinking visibility, tool borders, SubAgent layout,
+branding, or theme color changes.
+
+## How
+
+The implementation keeps the existing information structure and rendering
+surfaces intact:
+
+- History item spacing is centralized near `HistoryItemDisplay`. User prompts
+  and standalone command views still start with a turn separator, while
+  assistant continuations, tool groups, status messages, tool summaries, and
+  related in-turn output no longer add an extra leading spacer row.
+- Expanded tool groups keep their current border and status/title structure,
+  but no longer insert blank rows between adjacent tool entries.
+- Tool results render directly below the tool title/status row. This removes
+  the extra blank line between the tool header and its output without changing
+  output content, truncation, shell focus, confirmation prompts, or compact
+  mode behavior.
+
+Markdown blank-line behavior is intentionally left unchanged. The renderer
+already collapses consecutive blank lines to one spacer and preserves complex
+blocks such as tables, code blocks, and math blocks.
+
+## Spacing Standard
+
+- Independent user turns keep one visual separator.
+- Assistant output and in-turn follow-up blocks do not add a second separator.
+- Tool header and tool result content are adjacent.
+- Expanded multi-tool groups do not insert blank rows between each tool entry.
+- Complex Markdown blocks keep their existing internal layout.
+
+## Expected Effect
+
+Under the same terminal width and same rendered content, target scenarios should
+use fewer visible rows:
+
+- Simple Q&A should drop at least one visible row.
+- Expanded tool output should drop at least one row for each rendered tool
+  result that previously had a blank header/result spacer.
+- Multi-tool groups should drop one row between each adjacent tool entry.
+- Project inspection, diff, file-list, error, and long-stream scenarios should
+  not gain rows unless terminal wrapping changes make that unavoidable.
+
+## Measurement
+
+The automated spacing assertions and terminal evidence use 100-column fixtures
+for the changed rules:
+
+| Scenario | Width | Baseline rows | PR1 rows | Delta | Evidence |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
+| Simple assistant reply | 100 | 2 | 1 | -1 | leading history spacer removed |
+| Tool header with one-line result | 100 | 3 | 2 | -1 | header and result are adjacent |
+| Three-tool expanded group with rendered results | 100 | 16 | 11 | -5 | one header/result spacer removed per tool result and one inter-tool separator removed between adjacent tools |
+| Full representative fixture | 100 | 26 | 19 | -7 | same rendered content captured in tmux |
+
+The snapshot diffs also cover the existing 80-column fixtures to confirm the
+same row-count deltas in the current component test harness.
+
+## Out Of Scope
+
+- Hiding thinking traces.
+- Removing tool borders.
+- Redesigning SubAgent output.
+- Changing startup branding or the banner.
+- Changing theme colors.
+- Adding per-turn assistant elapsed time.
+- Changing table inline-code highlighting.

+# TUI 间距优化 PR2 — 半行色带与紧凑间距
+
+## 背景
+
+PR1 通过去除工具组内部多余空行，初步收紧了 TUI 垂直间距。但在实际使用中仍有两个体验问题：
+
+1. **用户消息与助手回复之间缺少视觉分界** — 长对话中难以快速定位"我的提问从哪里开始"
+2. **块间距仍然偏大** — 问答交替处各有一整行空白，浪费屏幕空间
+
+## 本次改动
+
+### 1. 用户消息半行色带
+
+在用户消息上下各添加一条半高的淡色线条，内容区域设置同色 backgroundColor，形成三层无缝色带：
+
+```
+▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄   ← foreground = bandColor（底半格着色）
+> 用户的提问内容              ← backgroundColor = bandColor（整行背景）
+▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀   ← foreground = bandColor（顶半格着色）
+```
+
+- 颜色通过 `subtleBandColor()` 计算：在背景色基础上做 6% 纯亮度偏移（暗色终端 → 稍亮，浅色终端 → 稍暗），不引入色相变化
+- 不支持 24 位色的终端 / 屏幕阅读器 / NO_COLOR 环境自动降级为普通显示（marginTop=1）
+- 负宽度/零宽度安全保护
+
+### 2. 收紧问答间距
+
+| 位置 | 改动前 | 改动后 |
+|------|--------|--------|
+| 用户消息上方 | 1 行空白 | 0（由色带提供视觉分隔；降级时保留 marginTop=1） |
+| 模型输出上方 | 1 行空白 | 1 行空白（保留，区分思考过程和最终输出） |
+| 工具调用/状态消息上方 | 1 行空白 | 0 |

+# File History Snapshot Persistence E2E Plan
+
+## Goal
+
+Verify that `/rewind` file-history state survives session resume when tool edits
+occur after the turn-boundary `makeSnapshot()` and before process exit.
+
+## Scenario
+
+- Enable file checkpointing and chat recording.
+- Start an interactive session in a temporary project.
+- Ask the model to edit or write a file through the normal edit/write tool
+  path.
+- Exit immediately after the edit completes, before sending another prompt.
+- Resume the same session.
+- Run `/rewind` to the prompt that scheduled the edit.
+
+## Expected Results
+
+- The resumed session includes the updated `file_history_snapshot` record for
+  the edited turn.
+- `/rewind` can restore the edited file to its pre-edit state.
+- The JSONL record shape remains a system record with subtype
+  `file_history_snapshot` and a `systemPayload.snapshots` array.
+- No `schemaVersion` or `isSnapshotUpdate` field is required.
+
+## Commands
+
+Build the local CLI first:
+
+```bash
+npm run build && npm run bundle
+```
+
+Run the scenario in a throwaway project and inspect the generated chat JSONL.
+Use a clean user config, or confirm local settings have not disabled
+checkpointing.
+
+```bash
+REPO_ROOT="/Users/jinye.djy/.codex/worktrees/6393/qwen-code"
+TMP_PROJECT="$(mktemp -d)"
+cd "$TMP_PROJECT"
+printf 'before\n' > a.txt
+
+node "$REPO_ROOT/dist/cli.js" --chat-recording
+```
+
+Inside the TUI, ask Qwen Code to replace `before` with `after` in `a.txt`, then
+exit immediately after the edit tool completes. Resume the session with the same
+CLI build and run `/rewind`.
+
+## Status
+
+Not executed as part of this implementation pass. The regression is covered by
+focused unit tests for snapshot recording, JSONL persistence, resume
+reconstruction, client prompt flow, and ACP prompt flow.

+# Simulated `sed -i` File-History E2E Test Plan
+
+## Goal
+
+Verify that a simple `sed -i` shell edit is previewed as a file edit, tracked in file history, and reversible through `/rewind`.
+
+## Manual Flow
+
+1. Create a temporary project with `file.txt` containing `foo foo`.
+2. Start qwen-code in that project.
+3. Ask the agent to run `sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' file.txt`.
+4. Confirm that the permission UI shows a file diff from `foo foo` to `bar bar` instead of only a shell command confirmation.
+5. Approve the edit.
+6. Confirm `file.txt` contains `bar bar`.
+7. Run `/rewind` to the turn before the sed edit.
+8. Confirm `file.txt` is restored to `foo foo`.
+
+## Fallback Flow
+
+1. In the same project, ask the agent to run `sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' *.txt`.
+2. Confirm the command uses the normal shell confirmation path, because globbed multi-file edits are intentionally not simulated.
+3. Cancel the command.
+
+## Expected Result
+
+Simple single-file substitutions are tracked like Edit/WriteFile changes and can be rewound. Unsupported sed forms preserve the previous shell behavior.

+# Prompt Queue Backpressure E2E Test Plan
+
+## Scope
+
+Validate per-session prompt admission backpressure for `qwen serve`, REST clients, ACP HTTP clients, and the TypeScript SDK.
+
+## Baseline
+
+1. Start `qwen serve` with defaults.
+2. Create a session.
+3. Send one prompt.
+4. Expected: prompt is accepted and the session emits normal turn events.
+
+## Full Queue
+
+1. Start `qwen serve` with defaults.
+2. Create a session.
+3. Hold one prompt active and enqueue four more prompts for the same session.
+4. Send the sixth prompt.
+5. Expected: the sixth request returns HTTP `503`, `Retry-After: 5`, and `code: "prompt_queue_full"`. The body includes `sessionId`, `limit: 5`, and `pendingCount: 5`. The response does not include `promptId`.
+
+## Release Then Recover
+
+1. Fill the default five pending prompt slots.
+2. Let the active prompt complete or fail.
+3. Send another prompt.
+4. Expected: the new prompt is accepted after the previous slot is released.
+
+## ACP HTTP
+
+1. Send `session/prompt` through `/acp` while the same session has five pending prompts.
+2. Expected: JSON-RPC returns stable error data with `errorKind: "prompt_queue_full"`, `limit`, `pendingCount`, and `sessionId`.
+
+## SDK Local Guard
+
+1. Construct `DaemonClient` with `maxPendingPromptsPerSession: 1`.
+2. Use a daemon or fetch mock that accepts the first prompt with `202` and keeps its SSE stream pending.
+3. Call `prompt()` again for the same session.
+4. Expected: the SDK throws `DaemonPendingPromptLimitError` and does not issue the second fetch.
+
+## Disabled Cap
+
+1. Start `qwen serve --max-pending-prompts-per-session 0`.
+2. Create a session.
+3. Enqueue more than five prompts for the same session.
+4. Expected: admission is not rejected by the prompt queue cap. `/capabilities.limits.maxPendingPromptsPerSession` is `null`.
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+```bash
+cd packages/acp-bridge && npx vitest run src/bridge.test.ts
+cd packages/cli && npx vitest run src/serve/server.test.ts src/serve/acpHttp/transport.test.ts

+# Session Shell Permission Policy E2E
+
+## Problem
+
+Direct session shell is a user-visible daemon capability. It must stay disabled
+by default and only become visible and callable when the operator enables it on
+an authenticated daemon.
+
+## Scenarios
+
+1. Start `qwen serve` on loopback without `--token` or
+   `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN`.
+   - `/capabilities.features` must not include `session_shell_command`.
+   - ACP initialize `_meta.qwen.methods` must not include
+     `_qwen/session/shell`.
+   - `POST /session/:id/shell` must return `401 token_required`.
+
+2. Start `qwen serve --token ` without `--enable-session-shell`.
+   - `/capabilities.features` must not include `session_shell_command`.
+   - ACP initialize must not advertise `_qwen/session/shell`.
+   - Authenticated REST shell calls must return
+     `session_shell_disabled`.
+
+3. Start `qwen serve --token  --enable-session-shell`.
+   - `/capabilities.features` must include `session_shell_command`.
+   - ACP initialize must advertise `_qwen/session/shell`.
+   - REST shell without `X-Qwen-Client-Id` must return
+     `client_id_required`.
+   - REST shell with the session-bound client id must execute and stream
+     shell output through the session events.
+
+## Commands
+
+Focused automated checks:
+
+```bash
+cd packages/acp-bridge && npx vitest run src/bridge.test.ts
+cd packages/cli && npx vitest run src/serve/server.test.ts src/serve/acpHttp/transport.test.ts src/commands/serve.test.ts
+```
+
+Final verification:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+npm run typecheck
+```
+
+## What This Proves
+
+- The default daemon does not expose direct session shell.
+- Operator opt-in without bearer auth is ineffective.
+- Authenticated opt-in advertises the capability consistently across REST and
+  ACP.
+- Calls still need a client id bound to the target session.
+
+## What This Does Not Prove
+
+- It does not validate prompt queue backpressure.
+- It does not validate normal agent-originated shell tool approval behavior.
+- It does not add or validate shell-specific rate limiting.

+# TUI Spacing And Density PR1 Evidence
+
+## Goal
+
+Provide before/after evidence that PR1 reduces visible row usage without
+removing content or changing rendering scope.
+
+## Fixed Conditions
+
+- Terminal width: 100 columns.
+- Compare the same prompt/output fixture before and after this PR.
+- Strip ANSI control sequences before counting visible rows.
+- Count rendered rows from the first non-empty fixture row through the last
+  non-empty fixture row. This keeps internal blank spacer rows in the metric
+  because those are the rows this PR removes.
+- The fixture renders the real Ink TUI components directly, so it does not
+  require a model call or network access.
+
+## Scenarios
+
+- Simple Q&A.
+- File list output.
+- Long shell output.
+- File-read error output.
+- Multi-block project inspection output.
+- Diff output.
+- Long streaming output.
+
+## Commands
+
+Terminal capture:
+
+```bash
+git checkout origin/main
+REPO_ROOT="$PWD"
+/tmp/qwen-pr1-spacing-evidence/run-tmux-capture.sh "$REPO_ROOT" 'base origin/main 34b7d472e' base

+- Final screenshot: 
+- Base tmux capture: 
+- Fixed tmux capture: 
+- Base summary JSON: 
+- Fixed summary JSON: 
+
+## Expected Results
+
+- Simple Q&A: at least 1 fewer visible row.
+- Expanded tool output: at least 1 fewer visible row per rendered tool result
+  that previously had a blank header/result spacer.
+- Multi-tool expanded groups: 1 fewer visible row between each adjacent tool
+  entry.
+- No scenario should lose user-visible content.
+
+## Results
+
+| Scenario | Width | Baseline rows | PR1 rows | Delta | Notes |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
+| Simple Q&A | 100 | 2 | 1 | -1 | Assistant history item no longer starts with a spacer row |
+| File list or shell output | 100 | 3 | 2 | -1 | Tool header and first result row are adjacent |
+| File-read error | 100 | 3 | 2 | -1 | Error result uses the same tool header/result spacing |
+| Project inspection | 100 | 16 | 11 | -5 | Three expanded tools no longer have header/result spacer rows or blank inter-tool rows |
+| Diff output | 100 | 3 | 2 | -1 | Diff renderer remains unchanged; only tool header/result spacing changes |
+| Long streaming output | 100 | N + 2 | N + 1 | -1 | Content rows are unchanged; the extra header/result spacer is removed |
+| Full representative fixture | 100 | 26 | 19 | -7 | Same content rendered through real Ink components and captured in tmux |
+
+## What This Proves
+
+- The base branch reproduces the extra spacer rows in a real terminal capture.
+- PR1 removes the targeted spacer rows while preserving the same fixture content.
+- The row-count improvement is measurable under fixed 100-column conditions.
+
+## What This Does Not Prove
+
+- It does not cover later PR scopes such as thinking trace visibility, tool
+  border removal, SubAgent layout, branding, or theme colors.
+- It does not replace manual review for extremely narrow terminal wrapping.

+# Stats Dashboard Redesign Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Replace the Overview and Models tabs in the `/stats` TUI with an Activity tab (time-based trends) and an Efficiency tab (performance metrics and tool analysis).
+
+**Architecture:** Extend the data layer (`usageHistoryService`, `statsDataService`) with delta calculation, tool duration, and latency fields. Replace the two UI tab components in `StatsDialog.tsx`. Change the heatmap from session-count to token-based with today highlight.
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Ink/React, Vitest, braille ASCII charts
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Extend UsageSummaryRecord with latency and tool duration
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `packages/core/src/services/usageHistoryService.ts:16-44`
+- Modify: `packages/core/src/services/usageHistoryService.ts:111-158` (metricsToUsageRecord)
+- Test: `packages/core/src/services/usageHistoryService.test.ts` (create)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Create `packages/core/src/services/usageHistoryService.test.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
+import { metricsToUsageRecord } from './usageHistoryService.js';
+import type { SessionMetrics } from '../telemetry/uiTelemetry.js';
+import { ToolCallDecision } from '../telemetry/tool-call-decision.js';

+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Extend the interface and implementation**

+- [ ] **Step 3: Extend AggregatedReport and aggregateUsage**
+
+Update `AggregatedReport` interface:

+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Extend StatsData and implement delta calculation**
+
+Update `packages/cli/src/ui/utils/statsDataService.ts`:
+
+Add to `StatsData` interface:
+
+```typescript

+    name: string;
+    count: number;
+    totalDurationMs: number;
+    successRate: number;
+  }>;
+}
+```
+
+Add a helper function for delta:
+
+```typescript
+function computeDelta(
+  current: AggregatedReport,
+  previous: AggregatedReport,
+): StatsData['delta'] {
+  const pctChange = (cur: number, prev: number): number | null => {

+    avgLatency: curLatency !== null && prevLatency !== null
+      ? curLatency - prevLatency : null,
+  };

+```
+
+Add a helper to get previous range bounds:
+
+```typescript
+function getPreviousRangeBounds(range: TimeRange): { start: Date; end: Date } | null {
+  if (range === 'all') return null;
+  const { start, end } = getTimeRangeBounds(range);

+### Task 4: Change heatmap to token-based with today highlight
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/ui/utils/statsDataService.ts:69-82` (buildHeatmap)
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/ui/utils/asciiCharts.ts` (HeatmapCell interface + buildHeatmapData)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Change buildHeatmap to sum tokens instead of counting sessions**
+
+In `packages/cli/src/ui/utils/statsDataService.ts`, update `buildHeatmap`:
+
+```typescript
+function buildHeatmap(
+  records: UsageSummaryRecord[],
+  start: Date,
+  end: Date,
+): Record {
+  const heatmap: Record = {};
+  for (const r of records) {
+    if (r.timestamp < start.getTime() || r.timestamp > end.getTime()) continue;
+    const ts = new Date(r.timestamp);
+    const key = `${ts.getFullYear()}-${String(ts.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0')}-${String(ts.getDate()).padStart(2, '0')}`;
+    let totalTokens = 0;
+    for (const m of Object.values(r.models)) {
+      totalTokens += m.totalTokens || m.inputTokens + m.outputTokens;
+    }
+    heatmap[key] = (heatmap[key] || 0) + totalTokens;
+  }
+  return heatmap;
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add `isToday` flag to HeatmapCell**
+
+In `packages/cli/src/ui/utils/asciiCharts.ts`, update the interface:
+
+```typescript
+export interface HeatmapCell {
+  char: string;
+  intensity: HeatmapIntensity;
+  isToday?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+In `buildHeatmapData`, after computing each cell, mark today:
+
+```typescript
+// Inside the while loop, after creating the cell:
+const todayKey = formatDateKey(new Date());
+// ...
+const isToday = key === todayKey;
+grid[row]!.push({ char: HEATMAP_CHARS[level]!, intensity: level, isToday });
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Render today's cell distinctly in StatsDialog.tsx**
+
+In `StatsDialog.tsx`, inside the `HeatmapView` component's cell render:
+
+```typescript
+{row.cells.map((cell, ci) => (
+  
+    {cell.isToday ? '▪▪' : cell.char}
+  
+))}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify visually by running `npm run dev` and opening `/stats`**
+
+Run: `npm run dev` then type `/stats` and switch to Activity tab.
+Expected: Heatmap shows token-based intensity, today's cell has `▪▪` marker with bold+underline.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/cli/src/ui/utils/statsDataService.ts packages/cli/src/ui/utils/asciiCharts.ts packages/cli/src/ui/components/StatsDialog.tsx
+git commit -m "feat(stats): token-based heatmap with today highlight"

+
+### Task 5: Add 'today' to TimeRange and update range cycle
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `packages/core/src/services/usageHistoryService.ts:46,253-281`
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/ui/components/StatsDialog.tsx:34`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Verify 'today' is already in the TimeRange type**
+
+Check that `type TimeRange = 'today' | 'week' | 'month' | 'all'` already exists (added in current code at line 46). It does. The `getTimeRangeBounds` function already handles the `'today'` case.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update RANGE_CYCLE in StatsDialog.tsx**
+
+```typescript
+const RANGE_CYCLE: TimeRange[] = ['today', 'week', 'month', 'all'];
+```
+
+Update `getRangeLabel`:
+
+```typescript
+function getRangeLabel(range: string): string {
+  const labels: Record = {
+    today: t('Today'),
+    all: t('All time'),
+    week: t('Last 7 days'),
+    month: t('Last 30 days'),
+  };
+  return labels[range] ?? range;
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

+
+### Task 6: Implement ActivityTab component
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/ui/components/StatsDialog.tsx`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Replace OverviewTab with ActivityTab**
+
+Remove the entire `OverviewTab` component and replace with `ActivityTab`:
+
+```typescript
+const ActivityTab: React.FC<{
+  data: StatsData;
+  bodyWidth: number;
+  chartMonthOffset: number;

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add new translation keys**
+
+Add the new keys to the must-translate list (the `t()` function uses the key itself as the English fallback, so no separate English file is needed):
+
+```typescript
+// In mustTranslateKeys.ts, add to the array:

+'best',
+'Token Trend',
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the i18n tests**
+
+Run: `cd packages/cli && npx vitest run src/i18n/`
+Expected: PASS (or check what the test expects — may need to update snapshot)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/cli/src/i18n/mustTranslateKeys.ts
+git commit -m "feat(stats): add i18n keys for new dashboard tabs"

+
+### Task 9: Clean up unused code and verify
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/ui/components/StatsDialog.tsx`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Remove dead code**
+
+Remove the `ChartView` component (was only used by ModelsTab). Remove `ModelStatsDisplay` import if present. Remove unused `chartFilter` state variable and related key handlers.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run typecheck**
+
+Run: `cd packages/cli && npx tsc --noEmit`
+Expected: No errors.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run existing tests**
+
+Run: `cd packages/cli && npx vitest run`
+Expected: All pass (fix any snapshot updates with `--update` if needed).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Visual verification**
+
+Run: `npm run dev`, then type `/stats`:
+- Verify Session tab unchanged
+- Verify Activity tab shows KPI row with deltas, token heatmap with today highlight, sparkline, projects
+- Verify Efficiency tab shows performance cards, tool leaderboard with bars, model table, code impact
+- Verify `r` cycles through today/week/month/all
+- Verify ←→ navigates months in chart
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/cli/src/ui/components/StatsDialog.tsx
+git commit -m "refactor(stats): remove dead ChartView/ModelsTab code"

+description: Create pixel-art desktop pet companions for Qwen Code. Generates a customized chibi spritesheet (1536×1872, 8×9 grid) for any character the user names — F1 drivers, anime characters, celebrities, fictional characters, animals, etc. Use when the user says "desktop pet", "桌宠", "桌面宠物", "想要XXX当桌宠", "换个宠物", or similar.
+---
+
+# Desktop Pet Creator
+
+Create pixel-art chibi desktop pet companions for Qwen Code's floating pet window.
+Given any character name, generate a complete pet package with animated spritesheet
+and place it in `~/.qwen/pets/` where Qwen Code auto-discovers it.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3 with Pillow (`pip3 install Pillow`). Check before running the script:
+
+```bash
+python3 -c "from PIL import Image; print('OK')" 2>/dev/null || echo "Pillow not installed — run: pip3 install Pillow"
+```
+
+## Step 1: Identify the Character
+
+Ask the user who they want as their desktop pet if not already specified.
+Then research the character's visual appearance:
+
+- **Team/organization colors** (e.g., McLaren papaya orange, Ferrari red)
+- **Outfit/uniform** (racing suit, school uniform, armor, etc.)
+- **Distinguishing features** (hair color/style, accessories, number, helmet)
+- **Personality traits** (for animation style — energetic, calm, goofy, serious)
+- **Iconic items** (steering wheel, lightsaber, guitar, etc.)
+
+Use web search if needed. For well-known characters (F1 drivers, popular anime,
+etc.), rely on training knowledge.
+
+## Step 2: Design the Color Palette
+
+Define 8–12 colors for the character. All colors must be distinct and work at
+small pixel scale (3× = 9 px details).
+
+| Color Role | Example (F1 Driver) | Example (Anime) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `outfit` | Team color `[255,135,32]` | Uniform `[30,30,50]` |
+| `outfit_dark` | Darker shade | Darker shade |
+| `outfit_light` | Lighter shade | Lighter shade |
+| `skin` | Warm skin tone | Skin tone |
+| `skin_dark` | Shadow skin | Shadow skin |
+| `hair` | Character hair color | Character hair color |
+| `accent` | Number/logo color | Eye color |
+| `shoe` | Dark grey/black | Shoe color |
+
+## Step 3: Generate the Spritesheet
+
+Run the generation script. Always resolve the path relative to the skill's base
+directory:
+
+```bash
+python3 /scripts/gen_spritesheet.py \
+  --output ~/.qwen/pets//spritesheet.webp \
+  --config '{"colors":{...},"features":{...}}'
+```
+
+**Atlas format:** 1536×1872 px, RGBA, 8 cols × 9 rows, 192×208 px cells.
+
+**Animation rows:**
+
+| Row | State | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0 | idle | Breathing + blinking (8 frames) |
+| 1 | running-right | Running to the right (8 frames) |
+| 2 | running-left | Running to the left (8 frames) |
+| 3 | waving | Waving at user (8 frames) |
+| 4 | jumping | Jumping celebration (8 frames) |
+| 5 | failed | Sad/collapsed on error (8 frames) |
+| 6 | waiting | Idle tapping (8 frames) |
+| 7 | running | Generic running (8 frames) |
+| 8 | review | Thinking/examining (8 frames) |
+
+## Step 4: Create `pet.json`
+
+Write the manifest to `~/.qwen/pets//pet.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "",
+  "displayName": "",
+  "description": "",
+  "spritesheetPath": "spritesheet.webp"
+}
+```
+
+Rules:
+- `id`: lowercase, no spaces, URL-safe (e.g., `piastri`, `satoru`, `goku`)
+- `displayName`: The name shown in the UI (e.g., "Piastri", "五条悟", "悟空")
+- `description`: One short sentence describing the character
+
+## Step 5: Verify and Activate
+
+1. Confirm the files exist:
+
+```bash
+ls -lh ~/.qwen/pets//
+```
+
+2. Open the spritesheet for the user to check:
+
+```bash
+open ~/.qwen/pets//spritesheet.webp
+```
+
+3. Tell the user to activate: open Qwen Code **Settings → Appearance → Pet
+Companion**, click **Refresh**, then select the new pet.
+
+## Design Guidelines
+
+### Chibi Proportions
+
+- **Head**: ~40% of total height (big head = cute)
+- **Body**: ~30% of total height
+- **Legs**: ~25% of total height
+- **Scale**: Each "pixel" in the art = 3×3 actual pixels (scale=3)
+- **Character center**: approximately (96, 124) within the 192×208 cell
+
+### Drawing Order (back to front)
+
+1. Legs (behind body)
+2. Body / outfit
+3. Arms
+4. Head shape
+5. Hair (back layer)
+6. Hair (front/top layer)
+7. Face features (eyes, mouth, expression)
+8. Accessories (hat, helmet, glasses, etc.)
+9. Foreground details (number, logo, badge)
+
+### Animation Tips
+
+- **Idle**: subtle Y bob (0 to −2 px) + blink every 3rd–4th frame
+- **Running**: alternating leg offset (±4 px), body tilt (±2 px), arm swing
+- **Waving**: one arm raised high, alternating frames
+- **Jumping**: Y offset curve (0 → −30 → 0), arms up
+- **Failed**: body tilt increases, then collapse to sitting pose
+- **Happy expression**: curved eyes (∧ shape), blush marks on cheeks
+- **Sad expression**: straight eyebrows, downturned mouth
+
+### Headgear Options (`features.headgear`)
+
+`cap` · `helmet` · `hat` · `hood` · `crown` · `horns` · `ears` · `halo` · `headband` · `none`
+
+### Hair Styles (`features.hair_style`)

+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Pet not showing**: Click Refresh in Settings → Appearance → Pet Companion
+- **Colors look wrong**: Check that RGB values are tuples, not hex strings
+- **Spritesheet too large**: Must be under 5 MB (webp lossless usually ~8–50 KB)
+- **Animation jittery**: Ensure all 8 frames per row are visually distinct but not jarring

+- **Runtime-only checks (fastest)**: `npm run dev -- "" ` — runs TS

+```bash

+  --approval-mode yolo --output-format json
+```
+
+**Gotcha:** `--model` alone won't switch providers — `--auth-type` (`openai`/`anthropic`/`qwen-oauth`/`gemini`/`vertex-ai`) does. Omit it and the run falls back to the default provider and dies
+on its missing key.
+
+### Isolating runtime artifacts
+
+`QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR=` redirects qwen's runtime output — `tmp/`, `debug/`,
+and `projects//...` (chat recordings, auto-memory, history) —
+into `` instead of `~/.qwen`. Config (`settings.json`, OAuth tokens,
+`commands/`) still reads from `~/.qwen`, so real auth and provider config
+work without any setup.
+
+**Use when** repeated test runs would clutter your real chat history or
+auto-memory. **Skip when** the bug you're reproducing depends on the user's
+actual history or runtime state — that _is_ the repro.

+# Mock OpenAI Server E2E Testing
+
+How to use a mock chat-completions server to drive the CLI through scenarios
+that are hard to provoke against a real model.
+
+## When to use this vs `--openai-logging`
+
+- **`--openai-logging`**: passive. You let real model traffic flow and inspect
+  the captured request/response pairs after the fact. Right when the bug shows
+  up against a real model and you want to see what was actually sent.
+- **Mock server**: proactive. You control responses to drive the client into
+  specific states — context overflow, malformed tool calls, specific finish
+  reasons, multi-turn tool loops, slow streams. Right when the bug requires a
+  response shape you can't reliably get from a real model, or when reproducing
+  needs to be deterministic.
+
+## Template
+
+`scripts/mock-openai-server.js` is a zero-dependency Node script. Edit
+`handleRequest()` at the top; protocol plumbing (HTTP, SSE streaming,
+chat-completion shape, usage block) is handled below the fold.
+
+`handleRequest({ body, inputTokens, requestIndex })` returns either:
+
+- `{ kind: 'error', status, body }` — writes the body as JSON with the given
+  status (e.g., simulate 400 / 429 / 500).
+- `{ kind: 'message', content?, tool_calls?, finish_reason?, usage? }` —
+  wrapped as a chat completion. Streamed or non-streamed automatically based
+  on `body.stream`.
+
+Helpers exposed at the top: `approxTokens(str)`, `toolCall(name, args)`,
+`messagesContain(body, substring)`, `errorBody(message, type, extra)`.
+
+## Pointing the CLI at the mock
+
+```bash
+PORT=8765 LOG_FILE=/tmp/mock.log \
+  node .qwen/skills/e2e-testing/scripts/mock-openai-server.js &
+
+http_proxy= https_proxy= \
+ --auth-type openai \
+  --openai-base-url http://127.0.0.1:8765/v1 \
+  --openai-api-key sk-mock \
+  -m mock-model \
+  --approval-mode yolo --output-format json \
+  -p 'your prompt'
+```
+
+## Verifying the mock is being hit
+
+Tail the log file (or stderr if `LOG_FILE` is unset). You should see a
+`{"kind":"listening",...}` line at startup, then one `{"kind":"request",...}`
+per call. If you see nothing, the CLI is going to the real upstream — usually
+because `--openai-base-url` was missing or the auth-type didn't switch.
+
+## Specializing `handleRequest`
+
+### Identify which caller is making the request
+
+The CLI invokes the model from many code paths (subagents, summarizers,
+planners, classifiers, etc.). Each typically injects a distinctive system
+prompt or user-message preamble. Grep the source for the prompt string of
+the caller you care about, copy a stable substring, and match on it:
+
+```js
+function handleRequest({ body }) {
+  if (messagesContain(body, '')) {
+    // route for caller A
+  }
+  // fallthrough: route for everything else
+}
+```
+
+Pick a substring that is unlikely to appear in user content and unlikely to
+churn (avoid version numbers, dates, or rephrased sentences). If the prompt
+in the codebase changes, your mock will silently fall through — log the
+fingerprint match in the request log so divergence is easy to spot.
+
+### Drive a tool-call loop
+
+```js
+return {
+  kind: 'message',
+  content: "I'll glob first.",
+  tool_calls: [toolCall('glob', { pattern: '**/*.md' })],
+};
+```
+
+`finish_reason` defaults to `'tool_calls'` when `tool_calls` is present,
+`'stop'` otherwise. Override with `finish_reason: 'length'` to test
+truncation handling.
+
+### Simulate context overflow
+
+```js
+if (inputTokens >= 30000) {
+  return {
+    kind: 'error',
+    status: 400,
+    body: errorBody(
+      `This model's maximum context length is 30000 tokens. However, you requested 0 output tokens and your prompt contains at least ${inputTokens} input tokens, for a total of at least ${inputTokens} tokens.`,
+      'invalid_request_error',
+      { param: 'input_tokens' },
+    ),
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Override `usage` when client behavior depends on it
+
+Some client flows branch on the reported `usage` block — token counts feed
+budget checks, telemetry, retry/backoff logic, and similar guards. The
+default usage is `chars/4` over the raw request body, which roughly tracks
+the real conversation size. When that's not what your scenario needs, pass
+`usage` explicitly to spoof a specific count:
+
+```js
+return {
+  kind: 'message',
+  content: '...',
+  usage: { prompt_tokens: 5000, completion_tokens: 50, total_tokens: 5050 },
+};
+```
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **Streaming vs non-streaming both need to work.** Most flows stream, but
+  some sub-paths (notably non-interactive utility calls) use non-streaming.
+  The template handles both — don't add response logic that only works for
+  one mode.
+- **`finish_reason: 'tool_calls'` is required when emitting tool_calls.** The
+  template defaults to this; only override when intentionally testing
+  malformed responses.
+- **Distinguishing requests by index alone is fragile.** The CLI may retry,
+  background-fetch, or fan out. Prefer matching on message content.
+- **Approximate token counting (chars/4) is fine for shape tests** but will
+  not match a real tokenizer. Don't write assertions tighter than ±20%.
+
+## Reference: existing specialization
+
+`knowledge/qwen-code/scripts/issue-3664-mock-server.js` is a worked example —
+the template specialized to reproduce subagent context overflow. It shows
+caller fingerprinting, error injection at a token threshold, and per-caller
+response branching. Read it side-by-side with the template if you need to see
+how the pieces fit together for a concrete scenario.

+name: openwork-desktop-sync
+description: Sync qwen-code packages/desktop with modelstudioai/openwork using commit-by-commit path migration, not subtree split or tree overwrite. Use when exporting qwen-code desktop changes to OpenWork, importing OpenWork desktop changes into qwen-code, preserving target-owned overlay files such as README.md, resolving sync conflicts, or preparing sync PR branches between the two repositories.
+---
+
+# OpenWork Desktop Sync
+
+Use this skill to sync desktop changes between this qwen-code repo and an
+OpenWork checkout. The repository script owns the Git mechanics:
+
+```bash
+OPENWORK_DIR=/path/to/openwork bun run desktop-openwork-sync --mode export
+```
+
+Default overlay is `README.md`. Overlay paths are excluded from migrated
+commits and stay target-owned.
+
+```bash
+OPENWORK_OVERLAY_PATHS='README.md'
+```
+
+## Contract
+
+This is commit-by-commit path migration, not snapshot replacement. The script
+walks source commits from `source-base..source-head`, rewrites paths between
+qwen-code `packages/desktop` and the OpenWork repository root, then applies each
+commit with `git apply -3`.
+
+Commits that already came from the receiving repository are skipped by their
+sync trailers. During import, qwen-code-origin export commits are skipped;
+during export, OpenWork-origin import commits are skipped.
+
+Merge commits are not migrated as merge commits. The script migrates the regular
+commits inside the merged branch; when it later sees the merge wrapper, it
+checks that the regular commits were already handled and that the merge tree
+matches Git's automatic merge result. If the merge wrapper contains manual
+resolution changes, the sync stops so the agent can convert that resolution into
+a normal follow-up commit.
+
+Target-side changes are preserved unless a migrated source commit touches the
+same hunk. If that happens, Git leaves a normal conflict for the agent to
+resolve. Do not use `git subtree split` or full tree replacement for normal
+sync.
+
+Successful sync commits include trailers such as `Qwen-Code-Commit` or
+`OpenWork-Commit`. Later syncs can use the latest trailer as the next source
+base. The first sync needs an explicit source base when no previous sync trailer
+exists:
+
+```bash
+bun run desktop-openwork-sync --mode export --source-base 
+bun run desktop-openwork-sync --mode import --source-base 
+```
+
+## Modes
+
+- `--mode export`: qwen-code `packages/desktop` commits -> OpenWork.
+- `--mode import`: OpenWork commits -> qwen-code `packages/desktop`.
+- `--mode auto`: guardrail only; use explicit directions for real sync.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Confirm repo paths and clean worktrees:
+
+   ```bash
+   git rev-parse --show-toplevel
+   git -C /path/to/openwork rev-parse --show-toplevel
+   git status --short
+   git -C /path/to/openwork status --short
+   ```
+
+2. Run the requested direction:
+
+   ```bash
+   OPENWORK_DIR=/path/to/openwork \
+   OPENWORK_OVERLAY_PATHS='README.md' \
+   bun run desktop-openwork-sync --mode export --source-base 
+   ```
+
+3. If Git reports conflicts, resolve only the conflicted hunks, preserving
+   target-owned repository metadata unless the source change intentionally
+   updates that same behavior.
+
+4. After sync, verify:
+
+   ```bash
+   git status --short
+   git diff --check HEAD
+   git diff --name-status ..HEAD
+   ```
+
+5. If the user asked to publish, push the branch and create a PR after the
+   branch is clean.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Keep only `README.md` as the default overlay unless the user adds paths to
+  `OPENWORK_OVERLAY_PATHS`.
+- OpenWork-specific files not touched by source commits must remain unchanged.
+- Prefer PR branches. The script prints the push command for export branches.
+- Do not manually import PR merge commits. Let the script migrate regular
+  commits and treat merge commits as wrappers.

+
+Currently `buildHeatmapData` receives `Record` where value = session count. Change to: value = total tokens for that day. The mapping to intensity levels (0-4) needs recalibration:

+- 0: no usage
+- 1: < 10k tokens
+- 2: 10k - 50k tokens
+- 3: 50k - 200k tokens

Run `qwen auth` to configure.
-
-- **2026-04-13**: Qwen OAuth free tier policy update: daily quota adjusted to 100 requests/day (from 1,000).
-
-- **2026-04-02**: Qwen3.6-Plus is now live! Get an API key from [Alibaba Cloud ModelStudio](https://modelstudio.console.alibabacloud.com/ap-southeast-1?tab=doc#/doc/?type=model&url=2840914_2&modelId=qwen3.6-plus) to access it through the OpenAI-compatible API.
-
-- **2026-02-16**: Qwen3.5-Plus is now live!
-
 ## Why Qwen Code?
 
-Qwen Code is an open-source AI agent for the terminal, optimized for Qwen series models. It helps you understand large codebases, automate tedious work, and ship faster.
-
-- **Multi-protocol, flexible providers**: use OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini-compatible APIs, [Alibaba Cloud Coding Plan](https://modelstudio.console.alibabacloud.com/?tab=coding-plan#/efm/coding-plan-index), [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai), [Fireworks AI](https://app.fireworks.ai), or bring your own API key.
-- **Open-source, co-evolving**: both the framework and the Qwen3-Coder model are open-source—and they ship and evolve together.
-- **Agentic workflow, feature-rich**: rich built-in tools (Skills, SubAgents) for a full agentic workflow and a Claude Code-like experience.
-- **Terminal-first, IDE-friendly**: built for developers who live in the command line, with optional integration for VS Code, Zed, and JetBrains IDEs.
+- **Agentic out of the box** — Auto-Memory, Auto-Skills, SubAgents, Agent Teams, and MCP. Dynamic workflows, zero setup.
+- **Open-source, inside and out** — The framework and the Qwen models are open-source. They evolve together. No vendor lock-in.
+- **Multi-protocol** — Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Qwen APIs. Any third-party provider or local model (Ollama / vLLM). Switch at runtime.
+- **Beyond the terminal** — IDE plugins, Desktop app, daemon mode, SDKs, and IM bots (Telegram / DingTalk / WeChat / Feishu).

+> [!TIP]
+> Qwen Code is actively iterating on itself — using its own agent and models to file issues, submit PRs, review code, and run tests. Powered by the community, driven by AI.
 
 ## Installation
 
-### Quick Install (Recommended)
-
-#### Linux / macOS
+**Linux / macOS:**

-## 🦞 Use Qwen Code for Coding Tasks in Claw
-
-Copy the prompt below and paste it into your agent:
-
-```
-Use Qwen Code as a coding agent. First, fetch and read this skill reference:
-https://raw.githubusercontent.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/refs/heads/main/.qwen/skills/qwen-code-claw/SKILL.md
-Then follow the instructions inside to install, authenticate, and use Qwen Code via acpx for all coding tasks.
-```
-
-## Authentication
-
-Qwen Code supports the following authentication methods:
-
-- **API Key (recommended)**: use an API key from Alibaba Cloud Model Studio ([Beijing](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/) / [intl](https://modelstudio.console.alibabacloud.com/)) or any supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google GenAI, and other compatible endpoints).
-- **Coding Plan**: subscribe to the Alibaba Cloud Coding Plan ([Beijing](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cn-beijing?tab=coding-plan#/efm/coding-plan-index) / [intl](https://modelstudio.console.alibabacloud.com/?tab=coding-plan#/efm/coding-plan-index)) for a fixed monthly fee with higher quotas.
-
-> ⚠️ **Qwen OAuth was discontinued on April 15, 2026.** If you were previously using Qwen OAuth, please switch to one of the methods above. Run `qwen` and then `/auth` to reconfigure.
-
-#### API Key (recommended)
-
-Use an API key to connect to Alibaba Cloud Model Studio or any supported provider. Supports multiple protocols:
-
-- **OpenAI-compatible**: Alibaba Cloud ModelStudio, ModelScope, OpenAI, OpenRouter, and other OpenAI-compatible providers
-- **Anthropic**: Claude models
-- **Google GenAI**: Gemini models
-
-The **recommended** way to configure models and providers is by editing `~/.qwen/settings.json` (create it if it doesn't exist). This file lets you define all available models, API keys, and default settings in one place.
-
-##### Quick Setup in 3 Steps
-
-**Step 1:** Create or edit `~/.qwen/settings.json`
-
-Here is a complete example:
-
-```json
-{
-  "modelProviders": {
-    "openai": [
-      {
-        "id": "qwen3.6-plus",
-        "name": "qwen3.6-plus",
-        "baseUrl": "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1",
-        "description": "Qwen3-Coder via Dashscope",
-        "envKey": "DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"
-      }
-    ]
-  },
-  "env": {
-    "DASHSCOPE_API_KEY": "sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
-  },
-  "security": {
-    "auth": {
-      "selectedType": "openai"
-    }
-  },
-  "model": {
-    "name": "qwen3.6-plus"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Step 2:** Understand each field
-
-| Field                        | What it does                                                                                                                          |
-| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `modelProviders`             | Declares which models are available and how to connect to them. Keys like `openai`, `anthropic`, `gemini` represent the API protocol. |
-| `modelProviders[].id`        | The model ID sent to the API (e.g. `qwen3.6-plus`, `gpt-4o`).                                                                         |
-| `modelProviders[].envKey`    | The name of the environment variable that holds your API key.                                                                         |
-| `modelProviders[].baseUrl`   | The API endpoint URL (required for non-default endpoints).                                                                            |
-| `env`                        | A fallback place to store API keys (lowest priority; prefer `.env` files or `export` for sensitive keys).                             |
-| `security.auth.selectedType` | The protocol to use on startup (`openai`, `anthropic`, `gemini`, `vertex-ai`).                                                        |
-| `model.name`                 | The default model to use when Qwen Code starts.                                                                                       |
-
-**Step 3:** Start Qwen Code — your configuration takes effect automatically:
+## Quick Start
 
 ```bash
-qwen
-```
-
-Use the `/model` command at any time to switch between all configured models.

-
-> **Tip:** You can also set API keys via `export` in your shell or `.env` files, which take higher priority than `settings.json` → `env`. See the [authentication guide](https://qwenlm.github.io/qwen-code-docs/en/users/configuration/auth/) for full details.
+See the [Authentication Guide](https://qwenlm.github.io/qwen-code-docs/en/users/configuration/auth/) and [Settings Reference](https://qwenlm.github.io/qwen-code-docs/en/users/configuration/settings/) for detailed setup.
 
-> **Security note:** Never commit API keys to version control. The `~/.qwen/settings.json` file is in your home directory and should stay private.
+![Qwen Code](https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/O1CN01K0nwj41RM1Il8kB0t_!!6000000002096-2-tps-1544-1060.png)
 
-#### Local Model Setup (Ollama / vLLM)
-
-You can also run models locally — no API key or cloud account needed. This is not an authentication method; instead, configure your local model endpoint in `~/.qwen/settings.json` using the `modelProviders` field.
-
-Set `generationConfig.contextWindowSize` inside the matching provider entry
-and adjust it to the context length configured on your local server.
-
-

-Ollama setup
-
-1. Install Ollama from [ollama.com](https://ollama.com/)
-2. Pull a model: `ollama pull qwen3:32b`
-3. Configure `~/.qwen/settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "modelProviders": {
-    "openai": [
-      {
-        "id": "qwen3:32b",

-vLLM setup
-
-1. Install vLLM: `pip install vllm`
-2. Start the server: `vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-32B`
-3. Configure `~/.qwen/settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "modelProviders": {
-    "openai": [
-      {
-        "id": "Qwen/Qwen3-32B",

-## Usage
-
-As an open-source terminal agent, you can use Qwen Code in five primary ways:
-
-1. Interactive mode (terminal UI)
-2. Headless mode (scripts, CI)
-3. IDE integration (VS Code, Zed)
-4. SDKs (TypeScript, Python, Java)
-5. Daemon mode — `qwen serve` exposes ACP over HTTP+SSE so multiple clients share one agent (experimental)
-
-#### Interactive mode
-
-```bash
-cd your-project/
-qwen
-```
-
-Run `qwen` in your project folder to launch the interactive terminal UI. Use `@` to reference local files (for example `@src/main.ts`).
-
-#### Headless mode
-
-```bash
-cd your-project/
-qwen -p "your question"
-```
-
-Use `-p` to run Qwen Code without the interactive UI—ideal for scripts, automation, and CI/CD. Learn more: [Headless mode](https://qwenlm.github.io/qwen-code-docs/en/users/features/headless).
-
-#### IDE integration
-
-Use Qwen Code inside your editor (VS Code, Zed, and JetBrains IDEs):
-
-- [Use in VS Code](https://qwenlm.github.io/qwen-code-docs/en/users/integration-vscode/)
-- [Use in Zed](https://qwenlm.github.io/qwen-code-docs/en/users/integration-zed/)
-- [Use in JetBrains IDEs](https://qwenlm.github.io/qwen-code-docs/en/users/integration-jetbrains/)
-
-#### Daemon mode (`qwen serve`, experimental)
-
-```bash
-cd your-project/
-qwen serve
-# → qwen serve listening on http://127.0.0.1:4170 (mode=http-bridge)
-```
-
-Run Qwen Code as a local HTTP daemon so IDE plugins, web UIs, CI scripts and custom CLIs all share **one** agent session over HTTP+SSE — instead of each spawning their own subprocess. Loopback bind has no auth by default (set `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN` to enable bearer auth even on loopback); remote binds (`--hostname 0.0.0.0`) **require** a token — boot refuses without one. See:
-

-- [DaemonClient TypeScript quickstart](https://qwenlm.github.io/qwen-code-docs/en/developers/examples/daemon-client-quickstart)
-
-#### SDKs
-
-Build on top of Qwen Code with the available SDKs:
-
-- TypeScript: [Use the Qwen Code SDK](./packages/sdk-typescript/README.md)
-- Python: [Use the Python SDK](./packages/sdk-python/README.md)
-- Java: [Use the Java SDK](./packages/sdk-java/qwencode/README.md)

-## Configuration
-
-Qwen Code can be configured via `settings.json`, environment variables, and CLI flags.
-
-| File                    | Scope         | Description                                                                             |
-| ----------------------- | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `~/.qwen/settings.json` | User (global) | Applies to all your Qwen Code sessions. **Recommended for `modelProviders` and `env`.** |
-| `.qwen/settings.json`   | Project       | Applies only when running Qwen Code in this project. Overrides user settings.           |
-
-The most commonly used top-level fields in `settings.json`:
-
-| Field                        | Description                                                                                          |
-| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `modelProviders`             | Define available models per protocol (`openai`, `anthropic`, `gemini`, `vertex-ai`).                 |
-| `env`                        | Fallback environment variables (e.g. API keys). Lower priority than shell `export` and `.env` files. |
-| `security.auth.selectedType` | The protocol to use on startup (e.g. `openai`).                                                      |
-| `model.name`                 | The default model to use when Qwen Code starts.                                                      |
-
-> See the [Authentication](#api-key-flexible) section above for complete `settings.json` examples, and the [settings reference](https://qwenlm.github.io/qwen-code-docs/en/users/configuration/settings/) for all available options.

+# Declarative Agent Definitions — Port from Claude Code 2.1.168
+
+Internal design document for porting Claude Code's declarative agent (markdown +
+YAML frontmatter) schema to qwen-code, addressing issue [#4821][i4821] and
+coordinating with the workflow port in issue [#4721][i4721] / PR [#4732][p4732].

+
+## Implementation status (vertical-sliced)
+
+PR [#4842][p4842] shipped the fields with an end-to-end runtime path at the
+time. PR [#4870][p4870] then replaced the YAML parser to support block
+scalars. This follow-up PR builds on both: it replaces the YAML
+**stringifier** (PR #4870 left it hand-rolled — see
+`docs/yaml-parser-replacement.md`), surfaces `mcpServers` + `hooks` on
+`SubagentConfig`, and wires them to the runtime so per-agent MCP servers
+and hooks actually fire when a subagent runs.

+The full reverse-engineering record below is retained as the design reference
+for the deferred fields — schema constants, DL7/Ig5 semantics, error
+messages, and the coordination matrix with workflow are still load-bearing
+for that work.

+## Phase 1 — Reverse engineering findings
+
+All claims here have been independently grepped against `claude.strings` and
+survived adversarial refutation. Confidence levels: **C** = Confirmed (direct
+binary evidence), **I** = Inferred (synthesized from multiple confirmed facts),
+**O** = Open (still uncertain).
+
+### Schema — the 15 fields, refuted and reconfirmed
+
+The agent frontmatter shadow schema is `Ig5`, used inside `ug5.agent` for
+`tengu_frontmatter_shadow_unknown_key` / `_mismatch` telemetry. The
+**production loader is `DL7`** (`parseAgentFromMarkdown`), which performs
+hand-rolled per-field validation with custom error messages. A separate
+**JSON-form schema `JL7`** (used by `fL7` / `parseAgentFromJson`) is tighter,
+but is a different code path (used by `--agents ` and
+`settings.agents`).

+
+Subtle observation that survived refutation: even though `skills` is "optional",
+DL7's emit clause is `...I !== void 0 && {skills: I}` and `ml(undefined)`
+returns `[]` (non-undefined), so the **final emitted record will carry
+`skills: []` even when the frontmatter omits the field**. This affects equality
+checks downstream — flag for the qwen-code port.

+
+This is the **only** new agent-frontmatter field beyond #4821's list. Fields
+that were searched but **NOT** found on `Ig5` / `JL7`: `version`, `tags`,
+`labels`, `category`, `icon`, `alias` / `aliases`, `experimental`, `deprecated`,
+`owner`, `author`, `homepage`, `displayName`, `shortDescription` (these all
+turned up only on the skill schema `bg5` or unrelated identifiers).

+telemetry event fires (`winner_source: T.at(-1)`); there is no
+"X overrides built-in" warning shown to the user. (strings:308742 `hMH`.)
+
+Subtle behaviour: `iV_()` walks **innermost-first** from `cwd` up, but Map.set
+last-wins, so **outer-tree `.claude/agents/` wins over inner-tree** within
+projectSettings. This is surprising — flag in open questions.

+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Implementation plan for qwen-code
+
+### Current state — one-paragraph map
+
+qwen-code already ships substantial subagent infrastructure:
+`SubagentManager` (`packages/core/src/subagents/subagent-manager.ts`) implements
+CRUD over markdown+YAML frontmatter files in `.qwen/agents/` (project) and
+`~/.qwen/agents/` (user), backed by a custom YAML parser
+(`packages/core/src/utils/yaml-parser.ts` — no `gray-matter` / `yaml` dep,
+confirmed by `package.json`). `SubagentConfig`
+(`packages/core/src/subagents/types.ts:41-122`) already has `name`,
+`description`, `tools`, `disallowedTools`, `approvalMode`, `systemPrompt`,
+`model`, `runConfig`, `color`, `background`. `SubagentLevel` already supports
+five scopes (session, project, user, extension, builtin) with precedence
+`session > project > user > extension > builtin`
+(`subagent-manager.ts:189-220`). The Agent tool
+(`packages/core/src/tools/agent/agent.ts`) declares `subagent_type` and
+dynamically refreshes its schema enum via `subagentManager.changeListener`.
+A `convertClaudeAgentConfig()` bridge already exists in
+`packages/core/src/extension/claude-converter.ts:162-220` with a tool-name
+mapping and `permissionMode → approvalMode` mapping. The **gap** is: (a) the
+schema is missing 8 fields from #4821 (`effort`, `permissionMode` as
+first-class, `mcpServers`, `hooks`, `maxTurns` as top-level,
+`skills`, `initialPrompt`, `memory`, `isolation`); (b) no `--agent `
+CLI flag; (c) no chokidar-style hot reload (extension-style invalidation
+exists, but not for filesystem agents); (d) `maxTurns` is currently nested
+under `runConfig.max_turns` — needs to be promoted to top-level per #2409.
+
+### Architectural decisions
+
+#### D1. Reuse the existing yaml-parser for frontmatter
+
+**Decision:** Reuse `packages/core/src/utils/yaml-parser.ts` (already used by
+`SubagentManager.parseSubagentContent` and the skill loader).
+**Rationale:** Claude Code's `lz` is the same shared parser used for skills +
+commands + agents; qwen-code already mirrors that pattern. Adding `gray-matter`
+or `js-yaml` is unnecessary churn. The existing parser handles `--- … ---`
+splitting and is silent on malformed input (matches `lz`'s
+`warn-and-return-empty` posture).
+
+#### D2. Resolution / precedence order
+
+**Decision:** Use `session > project (.qwen/agents/) > user (~/.qwen/agents/)
+
+> extension > builtin`— i.e. **keep the existing qwen-code SubagentLevel
+order, do NOT mirror Claude Code's`flagSettings`/`policySettings` buckets in
+v1**.
+**Rationale:** Claude Code's policySettings (managed dir) is an enterprise
+deploy story qwen-code does not have. Flag-injected agents (`--agents `)
+is a power-user feature that can land in P4. The existing five-level qwen-code
+precedence already covers the cases #4821 cares about: project overrides user
+overrides built-in. The `extension` level slots in cleanly between user and
+> builtin.
+
+#### D3. Validation — keep the existing SubagentValidator
+
+**Decision:** Extend `SubagentValidator`
+(`packages/core/src/subagents/`) to validate the eight new fields. **Do
+NOT** introduce zod unless skillManager's pipeline already uses it; if the
+existing validator is hand-rolled, keep it hand-rolled.
+**Rationale:** Claude Code's `Ig5` is shadow-only — runtime validation is
+hand-rolled `DL7`. Matching that pattern keeps error messages legible
+(e.g. `Agent file  has invalid permissionMode ''. Valid options: …`)
+without dragging in another dep. If skillManager already uses zod, follow that
+choice for consistency — TBD by reading the skill code in P1 prep.
+
+#### D4. Hot reload — defer; rely on cold load + explicit reload
+
+**Decision:** v1 does **NOT** ship a chokidar watcher. Cache invalidation
+hooks already exist (`subagentManager` has `changeListener` and explicit
+CRUD-driven refresh). Project-level reload happens on session start; in-session
+edits via `/agents` UI invalidate. A `/reload-agents` (or piggyback on
+`/reload-plugins`) slash command can land in P4 if user demand exists.
+**Rationale:** Hot reload via FS watcher is expensive (chokidar adds a polling
+loop with adaptive scheduling — Claude Code's implementation alone is ~150
+lines of bookkeeping). Cold-load-on-startup is plenty for v1 and matches how
+`SubagentManager` is wired today. Open the door for P4.
+
+#### D5. Wire `--agent ` CLI flag — v1 in scope
+
+**Decision:** Add `--agent ` to `packages/cli/src/config/config.ts`
+CliArgs. Behaviour: look up against the resolved registry, set the agent as
+the main-thread agent, throw a clear error if name doesn't resolve. Match
+Claude Code semantics (replace default system prompt unless agent has
+`appendSystemPrompt: true`). Do NOT use a `CLAUDE_CODE_AGENT` env-var
+indirection — qwen-code's `Config` object can carry it directly.
+**Rationale:** This is the user-facing handle on #4821 — without it, declarative
+agents are only reachable via the Agent tool's `subagent_type` param, which
+is too indirect for a "set my default agent" use case. `--agents `
+(plural) can defer to P4.
+
+#### D6. Workflow.agentType coordination — interface contract
+
+**Decision:** Surface a stable resolver interface that PR #4732's
+`createProductionDispatch` can call when it lands. Specifically:
+

+**Resolution of the #4721 / #4821 contradiction** (`tools` vs
+`disallowedTools` precedence): this port writes the agent registry such that
+`disallowedTools` is **always carried separately** from `tools`. The "ignored
+if tools is set" rule from #4821's table is **enforced by the Agent-tool
+callers** (i.e. when constructing the subagent's `ToolConfig`), not at parse
+time. This lets the workflow always union its floor with `disallowedTools`
+independently of whether the agent sets `tools`. The agent registry is a
+**dumb data carrier**; precedence rules live at the dispatch site. This
+resolves the apparent conflict between #4821's "ignored" rule and #4721's
+"union" rule.
+
+**Tool-name canonicalisation:** Use `ToolNames.SEND_MESSAGE` and
+`ToolNames.EXIT_PLAN_MODE` (verified against the PR #4732 diff), exported as named constants from
+`packages/core/src/agents/runtime/workflow-orchestrator.ts` once it lands. The
+declarative-agents port itself does NOT need to import these — they are the
+workflow's floor, applied at the workflow dispatch site.

+### D7. permissionMode vs approvalMode — bridge, don't replace
+
+**Decision:** Accept BOTH `permissionMode` (Claude-compatible) and existing
+`approvalMode` (qwen-compatible) in frontmatter. On parse, if `permissionMode`
+is set, map it to `approvalMode` using the existing table in
+`claude-converter.ts:195-208` (`default → default`, `plan → plan`,
+`acceptEdits → auto-edit`, `dontAsk → default`, `bypassPermissions → yolo`).
+If both are present, `approvalMode` wins (more specific to qwen-code) and emit
+a `tengu_frontmatter_shadow_*`-style telemetry event noting both were set.
+**Rationale:** Preserves backward compat with existing `.qwen/agents/*.md`
+that use `approvalMode`, while accepting Claude Code's `permissionMode`
+verbatim so users can drop in Claude Code agent files unchanged.

+**No circular block:** this PR and the workflow PR can land in parallel through
+their P1/P2 phases. They synchronise at workflow-P3, which needs this PR's
+registry resolver. If this PR lands first, workflow-P3 reads from it. If
+workflow PR lands first, it ships with the existing `subagent_type` lookup
+(returning workflow defaults on miss) and switches to the richer resolver once
+this PR lands.

+# Daemon ACP-over-HTTP → Official ACP Streamable HTTP Transport
+
+> Targets `daemon_mode_b_main`. Branch: `feat/daemon-acp-http-streamable`.
+> Author: arnoo.gao. Date: 2026-05-24. Status: **Design v1 → implementation**.
+> Design-first per repo workflow: this doc lands before/with the implementation PR so the wire contract is reviewable.

+
+## 0. TL;DR
+
+The daemon (`qwen serve`) today speaks a **bespoke REST + SSE** dialect to web/SDK
+clients, while speaking **real ACP JSON-RPC over stdio** to the spawned `qwen --acp`
+child. This proposal adds a **second northbound transport** that implements the
+**official ACP Streamable HTTP transport** (RFD #721) at a single `/acp` endpoint,
+so any ACP-native client (Zed, Goose, future SDKs) can drive the daemon directly

+```
+
+### 1.1 Northbound (client ↔ daemon) — bespoke, today
+
+- Express 5 app in `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts` (~30 routes).
+- Discrete REST verbs, **not** JSON-RPC:
+  - `POST /session` (create), `POST /session/:id/prompt`, `POST /session/:id/cancel`,
+    `POST /session/:id/load|resume`, `POST /session/:id/model`,
+    `POST /session/:id/permission/:requestId`, `POST /session/:id/heartbeat`,
+    `DELETE /session/:id`, plus `/workspace/*`, `/capabilities`, `/health`.
+- Server→client streaming: `GET /session/:id/events` → `text/event-stream`.
+  - Frames: `id: \nevent: \ndata: \n\n` (`server.ts:formatSseFrame`, ~2626).
+  - Per-session **monotonic `id`** + `Last-Event-ID` resume backed by a
+    ring-buffer `EventBus` (`acp-bridge/src/eventBus.ts`).
+  - Event `type`s: `session_update`, `client_evicted`, `slow_client_warning`,
+    `state_resync_required`, `stream_error`, …
+- Auth: `Authorization: Bearer ` (`serve/auth.ts`), CORS deny + host allowlist.
+- Backpressure: per-connection serialized write chain + 15 s heartbeat comments.
+
+### 1.2 Southbound (daemon ↔ child) — already ACP
+
+- `acp-bridge/src/spawnChannel.ts` spawns `qwen --acp`, wraps stdin/stdout with
+  `ndJsonStream` from `@agentclientprotocol/sdk` (`^0.14.1`).
+- `acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts:729` `new ClientSideConnection(() => client, channel.stream)`
+  — the daemon is the ACP **client**, the child is the ACP **agent**.
+- Extension methods already in use on this leg: `unstable_setSessionModel`,
+  `unstable_resumeSession`, `unstable_listSessions` (`acp-integration/acpAgent.ts`).
+
+### 1.3 Why migrate the northbound
+
+- Every client (webui, TS SDK, Java SDK, Python SDK, VSCode companion) re-implements
+  the bespoke REST mapping. An ACP-standard endpoint lets ACP-native editors attach
+  with zero qwen-specific glue.
+- Aligns the daemon's remote surface with the protocol it already speaks internally.

+
+## 2. Target: ACP Streamable HTTP (RFD #721)
+
+Merged **Draft** RFD (`agentclientprotocol/agent-client-protocol#721`, merged 2026-04-22).
+Not yet normative; not yet in any SDK. We implement against the RFD wire design.
+
+### 2.1 Endpoint & verbs (single `/acp`)
+
+| Verb          | Behavior                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
+| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `POST /acp`   | Send JSON-RPC. `initialize` → **`200`** + JSON body (capabilities) and sets `Acp-Connection-Id`. All other requests/notifications → **`202 Accepted`**, empty body; the _response_ (if any) is delivered on the matching long-lived SSE stream. |
+| `GET /acp`    | Open a long-lived **SSE** stream. (`Upgrade: websocket` → WebSocket; **deferred**, see §7.)                                                                                                                                                     |
+| `DELETE /acp` | Terminate the connection → `202`.                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
+
+### 2.2 Two-tier long-lived streams
+
+- **Connection-scoped stream**: `GET /acp` with header `Acp-Connection-Id`, no session
+  header. Carries connection-level responses (`session/new`, `session/load`,
+  `authenticate`) and connection-level notifications.
+- **Session-scoped stream**: `GET /acp` with `Acp-Connection-Id` **and** `Acp-Session-Id`.
+  Carries `session/update` notifications, **agent→client requests**
+  (`session/request_permission`, `fs/read_text_file`, …), and responses to
+  session POSTs (`session/prompt`, `session/cancel`).
+
+### 2.3 Identity (3 layers)
+
+- `Acp-Connection-Id` (HTTP header) — transport binding, minted at `initialize`.
+- `Acp-Session-Id` (HTTP header) — required on session-scoped GET + session POSTs.
+- `sessionId` (JSON-RPC param) — inside method params (must match the header).
+
+### 2.4 Divergences from MCP StreamableHTTP
+
+ACP uses **long-lived** streams (not per-request SSE), **two** ID headers (connection
+vs session), `202`-for-non-initialize, HTTP/2-required, WebSocket-required-client. We
+borrow the single-endpoint + POST/GET-SSE + session-header skeleton but adapt to the
+long-lived dual-ID model. We do **not** reuse `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`'s
+`StreamableHTTPServerTransport` (its per-request stream model and single
+`Mcp-Session-Id` don't fit).
+
+### 2.5 Standard methods (confirmed from current schema)
+
+- Client→Agent requests: `initialize`, `authenticate`, `session/new`, `session/load`,
+  `session/prompt`, `session/resume`, `session/close`, `session/list`,
+  `session/set_mode`, `session/set_config_option`, `logout`.
+- Client→Agent notification: `session/cancel`.
+- Agent→Client requests: `fs/read_text_file`, `fs/write_text_file`,
+  `session/request_permission`, `terminal/create|output|wait_for_exit|kill|release`.
+- Agent→Client notification: `session/update`.
+

+
+## 3. Architecture of the new transport
+
+The daemon must present an **ACP Agent surface over HTTP** northbound, while it
+remains an ACP **client** to the child southbound. The `/acp` layer is therefore a
+**JSON-RPC router** that terminates the HTTP transport and bridges into the existing
+`HttpAcpBridge`.

+
+No change to `bridge.ts` / `eventBus.ts` (additive consumer only).
+
+### 3.2 Connection & session lifecycle
+
+1. `POST /acp {initialize}` → mint `connectionId`, create `AcpConnection`, reply `200`
+   with `{protocolVersion, agentCapabilities, _meta:{qwen:{…}}}` + `Acp-Connection-Id` header.
+2. Client opens `GET /acp` (connection-scoped) carrying `Acp-Connection-Id`.
+3. `POST /acp {session/new}` → `202`; daemon calls `bridge.createSession(...)`; pushes
+   the JSON-RPC response (with `sessionId`) down the **connection** stream.
+4. Client opens `GET /acp` (session-scoped) with `Acp-Connection-Id`+`Acp-Session-Id`;
+   daemon `bridge.subscribeEvents(sessionId)` and pipes translated frames.
+5. `POST /acp {session/prompt}` → `202`; `bridge.sendPrompt(...)`; `session/update`
+   notifications stream live on the session stream; the final prompt **response**
+   (`{id, result:{stopReason}}`) is pushed on the session stream when it settles.
+6. Agent→client request (e.g. `session/request_permission`) is emitted as a JSON-RPC
+   **request** on the session stream with a daemon-allocated id; the client answers via
+   `POST /acp {id, result}`; `dispatch` resolves it through the bridge's permission API.
+7. `DELETE /acp` (or connection-stream close + TTL) tears down sessions/subscriptions.

+
+### 4.3 Pending agent→client requests
+
+`AcpConnection` keeps `Map`.
+When the client POSTs a JSON-RPC response object, `dispatch` matches `id`, then calls the
+bridge resolution path (e.g. permission `POST /session/:id/permission/:requestId`
+internal equivalent).
+
+> **v1 status:** only the `session/request_permission` agent→client round-trip is
+> implemented. `fs/*` and `terminal/*` agent→client forwarding is **deferred** (§7) — the
+> daemon does not yet advertise `fs`/`terminal` client-capability negotiation on `/acp`,
+> so ACP clients should not assume filesystem/terminal semantics over this transport in
+> v1. The intended end state (forward `fs/*` to the client; fall back to the daemon's
+> workspace FS when the client lacks the `fs` capability) is the follow-up described in §7.
+

+
+## 5. Extension strategy (requirement #2)
+
+ACP reserves any method starting with `_` for custom extensions and provides `_meta`
+on every type. The codebase's southbound leg already uses `unstable_*` method names.
+
+**Northbound choice:** vendor-namespaced **`_qwen//`** method names
+(spec-compliant `_` prefix). Capabilities advertised under
+`agentCapabilities._meta.qwen` at `initialize` so clients feature-detect before use.

+
+## 6. Dual-transport vs. replace (requirement #4)
+
+**Decision: dual-transport (additive).**
+
+- The official transport is a **Draft** RFD, not normative, and absent from every SDK —
+  hard-replacing would couple us to an unratified design and break webui + 3 SDKs +
+  VSCode companion at once.
+- The REST surface carries features with no clean ACP mapping yet (workspace
+  introspection, multi-client permission mediation, ring-buffer resume, capability
+  registry). Those degrade to `_qwen/*` extensions on `/acp` but the REST surface stays
+  authoritative until the RFD ratifies.
+- Both transports share **one** `HttpAcpBridge` + `EventBus` instance, so there is no
+  state duplication — `/acp` and `/session/*` can even drive the same live session
+  concurrently (multi-client is already supported by the bridge).
+- Toggle (v1, shipped): on by default; **`QWEN_SERVE_ACP_HTTP=0`** disables the mount. A
+  `--no-acp-http` CLI flag and an `acp_http` tag in `/capabilities` for client feature-
+  detection are **deferred** to a follow-up (not in v1) — until then clients detect the
+  transport by probing `POST /acp {initialize}`.
+
+Migration path: once the RFD ratifies and SDKs ship, REST routes can be reframed as a
+thin compat shim over `/acp` (separate, later PR).
+
+---
+
+## 7. Scope of the implementation PR
+
+**In scope (runnable + verified locally):**
+
+- `POST /acp` dispatch for `initialize`, `session/new`, `session/prompt`,
+  `session/cancel`, `session/load`, JSON-RPC response handling.
+- Connection-scoped + session-scoped `GET /acp` SSE streams with JSON-RPC framing.
+- `session/update` streaming + final prompt response correlation.
+- `session/request_permission` agent→client round-trip.
+- `_qwen/session/set_model` extension as the worked example of #2.
+- Bearer-auth + host allowlist reuse (same middleware as REST).
+- Unit tests (`acp-http/*.test.ts`) + a black-box smoke script driving a real daemon.
+
+**Deferred (documented, not built now):**
+
+- WebSocket upgrade path (RFD-required client cap; SSE suffices for local verify).
+- HTTP/2 multiplexing (we run HTTP/1.1; POST and long-lived GET use separate sockets,
+  which works for CLI/Node clients and ≤6-connection browsers). Documented divergence.
+- Full `fs/*` + `terminal/*` agent→client forwarding (permission path proves the
+  mechanism; rest is mechanical follow-up).
+- SSE resumability hardening parity with the ring buffer (Phase 4 in RFD).

+
+## 8. Local verification plan
+
+1. `npm run build` (or workspace build of `cli` + `acp-bridge`).
+2. Start daemon: `qwen serve --listen 127.0.0.1:0 --token ` (or env token).
+3. Run `node scripts/acp-http-smoke.mjs`:
+   - `POST /acp {initialize}` → assert `200` + `Acp-Connection-Id`.
+   - Open connection SSE; `POST {session/new}` → assert response on stream.
+   - Open session SSE; `POST {session/prompt:"say hi"}` → assert ≥1 `session/update`
+     then a final `{result:{stopReason}}`.
+   - Trigger a tool needing permission → assert `session/request_permission` request,
+     POST a grant response → assert prompt completes.
+   - `POST {_qwen/session/set_model}` → assert model switch + `session/update`.
+4. Vitest: `acp-http/*.test.ts` green.

+| RFD changes before ratification      | Behind capability tag + `_qwen` namespace; isolated module; easy to revise. |
+| HTTP/1.1 vs required HTTP/2          | Localhost/CLI clients unaffected; documented; h2 is a transport swap later. |
+| Two transports on one bridge race    | Bridge already supports multi-client; reuse its locking.                    |
+| `fs/*` forwarding vs daemon-local FS | Capability-gated: forward when client declares `fs`, else local.            |

+
+## 10. Implementation & verification log (v1)
+
+Implemented in `packages/cli/src/serve/acp-http/` (`json-rpc.ts`, `sse-stream.ts`,
+`connection-registry.ts`, `dispatch.ts`, `index.ts`), mounted from `server.ts`
+via `mountAcpHttp(app, bridge, { boundWorkspace })`.
+
+### Automated (`packages/cli/src/serve/acp-http/*.test.ts`)
+
+`transport.test.ts` boots a real Express server + the real `mountAcpHttp` over
+a controllable fake bridge and drives it with `fetch` + manual SSE parsing.
+15 tests green, covering: `initialize` 200 + `Acp-Connection-Id`; unknown-conn
+400; `session/new` reply on the connection stream; prompt → `session/update`
+stream + final result correlation; `session/request_permission` agent→client→
+agent round-trip; `_qwen/session/set_model`; method-not-found; `DELETE` teardown.
+
+### Live daemon (real model)
+
+Booted `qwen serve --port 8767 --token … --workspace …` (bundle entry so the
+spawned `qwen --acp` child is self-contained) and ran `scripts/acp-http-smoke.mjs`:
+
+```
+✓ initialize: connectionId=… protocolVersion=1
+✓ session/new: sessionId=…
+→ prompt: "Reply with the single word: pong"
+pong
+✓ prompt complete: 10 session/update frames, stopReason=end_turn
+✓ DELETE /acp — connection closed
+ALL CHECKS PASSED ✅
+```
+
+Error-path was also confirmed live: when the child failed to start, the bridge
+timeout surfaced to the client as a JSON-RPC error frame on the connection
+stream (`{"id":2,"error":{"code":-32603,…}}`), proving id-correlation + the
+202/SSE split under failure.
+
+### Review fold-in — bridge-issued clientId (found in live verify)
+
+First live run failed `session/prompt` with _"client id … is not registered for
+session"_. Root cause: `spawnOrAttach`/`loadSession` **ignore** a caller-supplied
+clientId the bridge has never issued and stamp a fresh one (returned in
+`BridgeSession.clientId`); the dispatcher was echoing the connection's own
+(unregistered) id on `sendPrompt`. Fix: persist the bridge-stamped id on the
+`SessionBinding` and echo it on every per-session call (`sessionCtx`). Re-verified
+green above.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Review round 2 — fold-ins
+
+Two independent reviews (correctness/concurrency + protocol-conformance/security) plus a self-read.
+All fixes verified by the expanded vitest suite (**18 tests**) + a fresh live smoke run
+(21 `session/update` frames → `stopReason=end_turn`).

+
+### Accepted / documented (not fixed in v1)
+
+- **Prompt-result vs trailing `session/update` ordering** (P2): `handlePrompt` awaits `sendPrompt` then
+  writes the result frame, while updates stream concurrently. In practice the bridge publishes all
+  `session/update`s to the bus before `sendPrompt` resolves and both share one ordered SSE write
+  chain, so the result lands last (confirmed: 21 updates then result). A strict barrier is a possible
+  later hardening if a client reducer proves sensitive.
+- **Browser `EventSource` can't set `Authorization`** — `/acp` GET streams require the bearer header,
+  so browsers need the deferred WebSocket path (§7); CLI/Node clients are unaffected.
+- The daemon's real trust boundary remains the **bearer token + single-workspace bind** (same as the
+  REST surface); R3's ownership check is defense-in-depth + contract correctness, not a tenant boundary.

+| D1  | **P0**   | `resolveClientResponse` deleted the pending entry BEFORE calling `respondToSessionPermission`. A malformed vote (`result: {}`) makes the bridge mediator throw — and with the pending entry already gone, teardown's `abandonPendingForSession` can't cancel it, so the agent's prompt hangs on a vote that never resolves (a token-holder could stall a session with one bad POST). | Wrap the vote in try/catch; on any failure fall back to `cancelAbandonedPermission` so the mediator is always released. New test covers the malformed-vote path. |

+## 17. REST 等价对齐 + 扩展方案审计落地（round 8）
+
+目标：让 `/acp` 成为 REST+SSE 的**等价替代**。本批基于审计结论重构扩展方案，并补齐**所有 bridge 已暴露**的能力；bridge 尚未拥有的能力（文件 I/O、设备流、agents/memory CRUD）按架构正确性要求**先由 acp-bridge 补齐**（见 §17.3）。
+
+### 17.1 扩展方案审计 → 落地（替换 §5 的旧方案）
+
+依据**仓库实装 SDK `@agentclientprotocol/sdk@0.14.1`**（非仅官网）核对：
+
+- `session/set_config_option` 是**一等（非 `unstable_`）方法**，请求 `{sessionId, configId, value}`，`category` 含 `model`/`mode`/`thought_level`；而 `set_model` 仍走 `unstable_setSessionModel`。
+- 规范保留 `_` 前缀给扩展，示例为域风格 `_zed.dev/…`；厂商数据放 `_meta` 按域名分键。
+
+落地：
+
+- **命名空间 `_qwen/` → 反向域名 `_qwen/`**；`_meta` 统一 `_meta:{ "qwen": … }`（含 `initialize` 能力广告与 `session/request_permission` 的 requestId）。
+- **模型 + 审批模式 → 标准 `session/set_config_option`**（`configId:"model"|"mode"`），路由到现有 `bridge.setSessionModel`/`setSessionApprovalMode`；`session/new` 结果**广告 `configOptions`**（取自子进程会话状态 `getSessionContextStatus().state.configOptions`，已是 ACP 形状）。**删除**厂商 `_qwen/session/set_model`。
+- REST(http+sse) **无需同步修改**：两 transport 共用同一 bridge，状态天然一致。
+
+### 17.2 本批新增的 `/acp` 方法（bridge 已支持，1:1 对齐 REST）
+
+| REST                                                  | `/acp`                                             | bridge                                   |
+| ----------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `POST /session/:id/model` / `approval-mode`           | **标准** `session/set_config_option`（model/mode） | setSessionModel / setSessionApprovalMode |
+| `GET /session/:id/context`                            | `_qwen/session/context`                            | getSessionContextStatus                  |

+| `PATCH /session/:id/metadata`                         | `_qwen/session/update_metadata`                    | updateSessionMetadata                    |
+| `GET /workspace/{mcp,skills,providers,env,preflight}` | `_qwen/workspace/{…}`                              | getWorkspace\*Status                     |
+| `POST /workspace/init`                                | `_qwen/workspace/init`                             | initWorkspace                            |
+| `POST /workspace/tools/:name/enable`                  | `_qwen/workspace/set_tool_enabled`                 | setWorkspaceToolEnabled                  |

+
+（既有：session/new·load·resume·close·list·prompt·cancel、heartbeat、permission、events 已对齐。）
+
+### 17.3 仍缺口 → 要求 acp-bridge 先补齐（架构正确性）
+
+REST 的 **文件 I/O**（`/file /glob /list /stat /file/write /file/edit`）、**设备流登录**（`/workspace/auth/*`）、**agents CRUD**（`/workspace/agents`）、**memory CRUD**（`/workspace/memory`）目前**不在 `HttpAcpBridge` 上**——REST 路由直接调 route 级服务（`WorkspaceFileSystemFactory`、`DeviceFlowRegistry`、`SubagentManager`、`writeWorkspaceContextFile`），绕过了 bridge。
+
+**决策（采纳评审/owner 意见）**：不让 `/acp` transport 再去直连这些 route 级服务（那会复制 REST 的架构漂移、并使 transport 耦合翻倍）。**正确做法是先在 `@qwen-code/acp-bridge` 的 `HttpAcpBridge` 上补齐这些能力**（如 `readWorkspaceFile`/`writeWorkspaceFile`/`globWorkspace`、`startDeviceFlow`/`pollDeviceFlow`、`listAgents`/`upsertAgent`/`deleteAgent`、`readMemory`/`writeMemory`），让 REST 与 `/acp` 都经由 bridge。届时 `/acp` 再加 `_qwen/fs/*`、`_qwen/auth/*`、`_qwen/workspace/agent*`、`_qwen/workspace/memory*`（文件读因无标准 ACP client→agent 方法，属合法厂商扩展）。
+
+**完整等价 = 本批（bridge 已有能力）+ acp-bridge 补齐缺口后的后续批**。

+
+## 20. Extension-namespace rename + SDK-transport analysis (round 11)
+
+- **Namespace `_qwen.ai/` → `_qwen/`**: ACP's only hard rule is the leading `_`; the `_zed.dev/` domain segment is convention-by-example, not a MUST. Since `qwen` is distinctive, we use the shorter bare form. `_meta` key likewise `"qwen"`. (Survey of real agents: Zed/gemini-cli mostly use `_meta`-on-standard-methods + ACP's own `unstable_*`; bare custom `_` methods are rare — our `_qwen/*` are genuinely-new workspace/session ops with no standard equivalent, so a `_` method is the right tool.)
+- **Why hand-rolled transport (not SDK-based)**: the TS SDK ships only `ndJsonStream` (stdio); RFD #721 HTTP is SDK Phase-3 (not implemented). The SDK `Connection` is single-duplex-stream; our transport is multi-stream (POSTs + connection-SSE + per-session-SSE) and needs outbound demux by sessionId — which our dispatcher already knows at routing time. A full SDK rewrite fights that model and wouldn't remove the bulk (bridge translation, SSE lifecycle, ownership, EventBus→JSON-RPC). **Pragmatic improvement (candidate follow-up): adopt the SDK's Zod schema validators + types for param validation while keeping the hand-rolled transport.** SDK clients using `extMethod('_qwen/…')` interoperate with our handlers (identical wire shape).

+# Daemon 闲置检测接口设计
+
+## 背景
+
+### 问题
+
+Qwen Daemon 会部署在多台机器上作为长驻服务。当 Daemon 长时间无任务执行时，继续占用机器资源是浪费。外部调度器（K8s HPA / 自定义 Scaler）需要一个可靠的信号来判断 Daemon 是否处于闲置状态，以便做缩容回收。
+
+### 现状
+
+目前可用的接口：
+
+| 接口                           | 返回信息                                          | 局限                                                                  |
+| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `GET /health?deep=true`        | `{ sessions, pendingPermissions }`                | 只有 session 数量，无法区分"有 session 但空闲"和"有 session 正在工作" |
+| `GET /workspace/:cwd/sessions` | 每个 session 的 `hasActivePrompt` + `clientCount` | 需要额外一次请求，且无时间维度信息（多久没活动了？）                  |
+
+**核心缺失**：
+
+1. 没有汇总级别的"是否有活跃 prompt"指标
+2. 没有"最后活动时间"，外部系统需要自己维护状态机来计算空闲时长
+3. 没有 SSE 连接数暴露（已内部维护 `activeSseCount`，但 `/health` 未返回）
+4. 没有 channel（agent 子进程）存活状态暴露
+
+## 设计目标
+
+提供一个**单次 HTTP 调用即可完成闲置判断**的接口，满足：
+
+- 外部调度器一次 GET 即可判断是否可回收
+- 支持时间维度（空闲了多久），避免外部维护状态
+- 向后兼容现有 `/health` 行为
+- 零额外依赖，利用已有内部状态
+
+## 方案
+
+### 增强 `GET /health?deep=true` 响应
+
+在现有 `/health?deep=true` 返回中追加字段：
+
+```jsonc
+// GET /health?deep=true
+{
+  "status": "ok",
+
+  // --- 已有字段（不变）---
+  "sessions": 2,
+  "pendingPermissions": 0,
+
+  // --- 新增字段 ---
+  "activePrompts": 1, // 正在执行 prompt 的 session 数
+  "connectedClients": 3, // 活跃 SSE 连接数
+  "channelAlive": true, // agent 子进程是否存活
+  "lastActivityAt": "2026-06-10T08:30:00.000Z", // 最后一次活动时间（ISO 8601）
+  "idleSinceMs": 120000, // 距离最后活动已经过去的毫秒数
+}
+```
+
+### 字段定义
+
+| 字段               | 类型             | 语义                                                                              |
+| ------------------ | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `activePrompts`    | `number`         | 当前 `promptActive === true` 的 session 计数                                      |
+| `connectedClients` | `number`         | 当前活跃 SSE 连接数（已有 `activeSseCount`）                                      |
+| `channelAlive`     | `boolean`        | agent 子进程是否存活（已有 `bridge.isChannelLive()`）                             |
+| `lastActivityAt`   | `string \| null` | 最后一次 prompt 开始或完成的 ISO 时间戳；daemon 启动后从未有过 prompt 时为 `null` |
+| `idleSinceMs`      | `number \| null` | `Date.now() - lastActivityAt`；无活动记录时为 `null`                              |
+
+### "活动" 的定义
+
+以下事件视为"活动"，会刷新 `lastActivityAt`：
+
+- prompt 开始执行（`promptActive` 从 false → true）
+- prompt 完成/失败（`promptActive` 从 true → false）
+- 新 session 创建（`spawnOrAttach` 成功）
+- session 恢复/加载（`loadSession` / `resumeSession` 成功）
+
+**不**视为活动的事件（避免误判）：
+
+- SSE 连接/断开
+- 心跳 heartbeat
+- `/health` 请求本身
+- permission 请求/响应
+
+### 闲置判断规则（供外部调度器参考）
+
+```python
+def should_reclaim(health, idle_threshold_ms=300_000):
+    """建议回收条件：空闲超过阈值（默认 5 分钟）"""
+    if health["activePrompts"] > 0:
+        return False  # 有任务在跑
+    if health["connectedClients"] > 0:
+        return False  # 有客户端连着
+    if health["idleSinceMs"] is None:
+        # 从未有过活动 — 可能是刚启动的 cold daemon
+        return True
+    return health["idleSinceMs"] >= idle_threshold_ms
+```
+
+## 涉及代码改动
+
+### 1. `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridgeTypes.ts`
+
+在 `AcpSessionBridge` 接口新增：
+
+```typescript
+/** 正在执行 prompt 的 session 数量 */
+get activePromptCount(): number;
+
+/** 最后一次活动时间戳（epoch ms），null 表示从未有过活动 */
+get lastActivityAt(): number | null;
+```
+
+### 2. `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts`
+
+在 `createAcpSessionBridge` 工厂函数内：
+
+```typescript
+// 新增状态追踪
+let lastActivityTimestamp: number | null = null;
+
+function touchActivity(): void {
+  lastActivityTimestamp = Date.now();
+}
+```
+
+在以下位置调用 `touchActivity()`：

+- `entry.promptActive = true`（~line 2528）— prompt 开始
+- `entry.promptActive = false`（~line 2551, 2559）— prompt 结束
+- `doSpawn` 成功创建 session 后（~line 1906 附近）
+- `restoreSession` 成功后
+
+在返回对象中暴露：
+
+```typescript
+get activePromptCount() {
+  let count = 0;
+  for (const entry of byId.values()) {
+    if (entry.promptActive) count++;
+  }
+  return count;
+},
+
+get lastActivityAt() {
+  return lastActivityTimestamp;
+},
+```
+
+### 3. `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts`
+
+修改 `healthHandler`（~line 803）中 `deep` 分支：
+
+```typescript
+const healthHandler = (req: Request, res: Response): void => {
+  const deepQuery = req.query['deep'];
+  const deep = deepQuery === '1' || deepQuery === 'true' || deepQuery === '';
+  if (!deep) {
+    res.status(200).json({ status: 'ok' });
+    return;
+  }
+  try {
+    const lastActivityAt = bridge.lastActivityAt;
+    const now = Date.now();
+    res.status(200).json({
+      status: 'ok',
+      // 已有
+      sessions: bridge.sessionCount,
+      pendingPermissions: bridge.pendingPermissionCount,
+      // 新增
+      activePrompts: bridge.activePromptCount,
+      connectedClients: getActiveSseCount(),
+      channelAlive: bridge.isChannelLive(),
+      lastActivityAt:
+        lastActivityAt !== null ? new Date(lastActivityAt).toISOString() : null,
+      idleSinceMs: lastActivityAt !== null ? now - lastActivityAt : null,
+    });
+  } catch (err) {
+    writeStderrLine(
+      `qwen serve: /health deep probe failed: ${err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)}`,
+    );
+    res.status(503).json({ status: 'degraded' });
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### 4. `packages/cli/src/serve/server.test.ts`
+
+新增测试用例覆盖：
+
+- `/health?deep=true` 返回新字段的正确性
+- 无 session 时 `activePrompts === 0`、`idleSinceMs === null`
+- prompt 执行中 `activePrompts > 0`、`idleSinceMs` 持续刷新
+- prompt 完成后 `idleSinceMs` 开始递增
+
+### 5. `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.test.ts`
+
+新增测试用例覆盖：
+
+- `activePromptCount` 在 prompt 生命周期中的值变化
+- `lastActivityAt` 在各活动事件后被刷新
+- 多 session 并行时 `activePromptCount` 正确累加
+

+- **OTel Gauge**：已有的 `registerDaemonGaugeCallbacks` 可选后续追加 `activePrompts` gauge，但不在本次范围内
+
+## 后续扩展（不在本次范围）
+
+1. **自动 shutdown**：daemon 内置 `--auto-shutdown-idle-ms` 参数，空闲超时后自行退出（适合 systemd/K8s Pod 场景）
+2. **OTel 指标暴露**：将 `activePrompts`、`idleSinceMs` 作为 gauge 注册到 OTel meter
+3. **Webhook 回调**：空闲超阈值时主动推送事件到外部系统

+# DaemonTransport Abstraction Layer

+
+## 0. TL;DR
+
+`DaemonClient` hardcodes REST+SSE. Third-party integrations wanting ACP
+WebSocket must fork the provider stack (~8 files). This proposal adds a
+**`DaemonTransport` interface** with `fetch` + `subscribeEvents` methods,
+plus auto-detection and runtime fallback, enabling pluggable transports
+with **zero breaking changes**.
+
+**Total change: ~1300 lines** in a single implementation PR. Existing
+consumers untouched — `new DaemonClient({ baseUrl, token })` = current behavior.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Background
+
+### 1.1 Current architecture
+
+```
+DaemonClient({ baseUrl, token })
+  └─ this._fetch = globalThis.fetch     ← hardcoded
+  └─ subscribeEvents → GET /session/:id/events → parseSseStream → DaemonEvent
+```
+
+67 public methods, each constructing REST URLs and branching on HTTP status
+codes. `fetch` is already injectable via `DaemonClientOptions.fetch`, but
+`subscribeEvents` has inline SSE-specific logic (content-type check, SSE parsing,
+connect-phase timeout) that cannot be swapped via fetch injection alone.
+
+### 1.2 The problem for third parties
+
+When a third party (e.g., `agent-web`) builds an `AcpSessionProvider` to use
+WebSocket instead of REST+SSE:
+
+- **If they replace** `DaemonSessionProvider`: components that read
+  `DaemonStoreContext` (e.g., TerminalView) lose their context → crash.
+- **If they keep both providers**: two event sources, two stores, desync.
+- **If they inject events** into the SDK store: `DaemonSessionProvider` also
+  subscribes to SSE internally → duplicate events.
+
+**Root cause**: changing the transport requires replacing the provider, because
+`DaemonClient`'s `subscribeEvents` is hardcoded to SSE.
+
+### 1.3 Target
+
+```
+DaemonClient({ transport: new AcpWsTransport(url, token) })
+  └─ transport.fetch → maps URL+verb to JSON-RPC over WS
+  └─ transport.subscribeEvents → demux WS notifications → DaemonEvent
+```
+
+One provider, one store, transport is an internal detail. Third parties pass
+`transport` to `DaemonClient`; everything else works unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Design
+
+### 2.1 Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface DaemonTransportFetchOptions {
+  timeout?: number; // 0 = no timeout. undefined = transport default.
+}
+
+interface DaemonTransportSubscribeOptions {
+  lastEventId?: number;
+  maxQueued?: number;
+  signal?: AbortSignal;
+  connectTimeoutMs?: number;
+}
+
+interface DaemonTransport {
+  /**
+   * Send a request and return a Response.
+   *
+   * Contract:
+   * - Response MUST support .json(), .text(), .ok, .status,
+   *   .headers.get(), .body?.cancel()
+   * - .status MUST be an accurate HTTP status code
+   *   (200, 201, 202, 204, 404, etc.)
+   * - Error bodies MUST preserve the daemon's structured shape
+   * - Callable without prior setup; transport handles init internally
+   *   (lazy-init / init-once deferred pattern)
+   * - Throws DaemonTransportClosedError when connection is dead
+   * - When init.signal aborts: for prompt requests, transport MUST
+   *   cancel the in-flight prompt on the wire (WS: send session/cancel
+   *   RPC; HTTP: abort fetch). For ordinary requests, abort only
+   *   rejects/cancels the pending request without side effects.
+   *   Pending response rejects with AbortError.
+   */
+  fetch(
+    url: string,
+    init: RequestInit,
+    opts?: DaemonTransportFetchOptions,
+  ): Promise;
+
+  /**
+   * Subscribe to session events.
+   *
+   * Contract:
+   * - Events with id MUST have monotonic integer ids; synthetic/terminal
+   *   frames (e.g., stream_error) MAY omit id (DaemonEvent.id is optional)
+   * - MUST deliver ALL event types (session + workspace) in one stream
+   * - Aborting signal MUST stop only this generator, NOT the connection
+   * - When the connection dies, all pending generators MUST throw
+   *   DaemonTransportClosedError (transport maintains generator refs)
+   * - MUST apply connectTimeoutMs to connect phase only
+   * - Transport MUST declare whether lastEventId replay is supported;
+   *   if not, consumer MUST use session/load for full resync on reconnect
+   */
+  subscribeEvents(
+    sessionId: string,
+    opts: DaemonTransportSubscribeOptions,
+  ): AsyncGenerator;
+
+  /** Transport identity for exhaustive switching. */
+  readonly type: 'rest' | 'acp-http' | 'acp-ws';
+
+  /** Whether this transport supports Last-Event-ID based replay on reconnect.
+   *  When false, consumer MUST use session/load for full resync. */
+  readonly supportsReplay: boolean;
+
+  /** False after connection drop or dispose(). */
+  readonly connected: boolean;
+
+  /** Idempotent teardown. */
+  dispose(): void;
+}
+
+class DaemonTransportClosedError extends Error {}
+```
+
+### 2.2 Why two methods (fetch + subscribeEvents), not just fetch
+
+`subscribeEvents` has fundamentally different wire semantics per transport:
+
+| Transport | Wire mechanism                                                     |
+| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| REST      | `GET /session/:id/events` → SSE → `parseSseStream` → `DaemonEvent` |
+| ACP HTTP  | `GET /acp` (session-scoped SSE) → JSON-RPC notification unwrap     |
+| ACP WS    | Demux notifications from shared socket by sessionId                |
+
+Forcing these through a fetch-shaped hole requires SSE re-encoding/decoding
+(WS → fake SSE text → `parseSseStream` → DaemonEvent) — wasteful and fragile.
+
+All other 66 methods work through `fetch` because they follow request→response
+semantics regardless of transport.
+
+### 2.3 Why fetch-level, not method-dispatch
+
+DaemonClient's 67 methods contain per-method HTTP branching:
+
+- `prompt()`: 202 vs 200 status check
+- `deleteWorkspaceAgent()`: 204 vs 404 with body inspection
+- `respondToPermission()`: 200 vs 404 for race detection
+- 6 methods bypass `fetchWithTimeout` by calling `_fetch` directly
+
+A method-dispatch interface (`request(method, params)`) forces duplicating
+all this logic in every transport. Fetch-level keeps DaemonClient unchanged.
+
+### 2.4 DaemonClient changes (~40 lines)
+
+```typescript
+export interface DaemonClientOptions {
+  baseUrl: string;
+  token?: string;
+  fetch?: typeof globalThis.fetch; // Kept
+  fetchTimeoutMs?: number; // Kept
+  transport?: DaemonTransport; // NEW — optional override
+}
+```
+
+Internal changes:
+
+- Constructor: `this.transport = opts.transport ?? new RestSseTransport(...)`
+- `fetchWithTimeout`: delegate to `this.transport.fetch(url, init, { timeout })`
+- 6 direct `this._fetch` sites (prompt, promptNonBlocking, recapSession,
+  btwSession, shellCommand, subscribeEvents): replace with
+  `this.transport.fetch(url, init, { timeout: 0 })`
+- `subscribeEvents`: exhaustive switch on `this.transport.type`:
+  - `'rest'`: delegate to `this.transport.subscribeEvents(sessionId, opts)`
+  - default: same delegation (each transport handles its own wire format)
+- Remove `private _fetch` field (replaced by transport)
+
+### 2.5 Provider injection point
+
+`DaemonWorkspaceProvider` and `DaemonSessionProvider` both construct
+`DaemonClient` internally. To let third parties inject a transport without
+bypassing the provider:
+
+```typescript
+// DaemonWorkspaceProvider — add optional transport prop
+interface DaemonWorkspaceProviderProps {
+  baseUrl: string;
+  token?: string;
+  transport?: DaemonTransport; // NEW — forwarded to DaemonClient
+  // ...existing props
+}
+
+// DaemonSessionProvider — inherit from workspace context
+// No transport prop needed; reads from workspace context
+```
+
+When `transport` is provided, the provider passes it to `DaemonClient`:
+
+```typescript
+new DaemonClient({ baseUrl, token, transport: props.transport });
+```
+
+When omitted: current behavior (REST+SSE). ~5 lines of provider change.
+
+### 2.5 RestSseTransport (~80 lines)
+
+Wraps `globalThis.fetch` + extracts current SSE logic from
+`DaemonClient.subscribeEvents`:
+
+```typescript
+class RestSseTransport implements DaemonTransport {
+  readonly type = 'rest' as const;
+  readonly supportsReplay = true; // SSE supports Last-Event-ID
+  readonly connected = true; // REST is stateless
+
+  constructor(
+    private readonly baseUrl: string,
+    private readonly token: string | undefined,
+    private readonly _fetch: typeof globalThis.fetch,
+  ) {}
+
+  fetch(url, init, opts?) {
+    return this._fetch(url, init);
+  }
+
+  async *subscribeEvents(sessionId, opts) {
+    // Current DaemonClient.subscribeEvents logic moved here:
+    // - build URL from this.baseUrl + sessionId
+    // - set Authorization header from this.token
+    // - connect-phase timeout from opts.connectTimeoutMs
+    // - fetch → validate content-type → parseSseStream → yield
+  }
+
+  dispose() {} // no-op
+}
+```
+
+### 2.6 ACP transport internals
+
+**AcpWsTransport** (~400-600 lines):
+
+- Lazy-init: first `fetch` call opens WS + sends `initialize`
+- URL→JSON-RPC mapping table: `/session/:id/prompt` → `{method: "session/prompt", params: {sessionId: id, ...body}}`
+- Request multiplexer: `Map` for pending requests
+- `subscribeEvents`: filter shared notification stream by sessionId
+- `connected`: tracks WS readyState
+- `supportsReplay`: false (WS has no Last-Event-ID; consumer must `session/load`)
+- Synthesizes `Response` objects with correct `.status`/`.json()`/`.text()`
+
+**AcpHttpTransport** (~800-1000 lines):
+
+- Lazy-init: first `fetch` call sends `POST /acp {initialize}`
+- Manages conn-scoped + session-scoped SSE streams internally
+- Same URL→JSON-RPC mapping + request correlation
+- `supportsReplay`: true (session SSE supports Last-Event-ID)
+
+### 2.7 Transport auto-detection
+
+Server advertises supported transports in `GET /capabilities`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "transports": ["rest+sse", "acp-http+sse", "acp-ws"],
+  ...existing capabilities fields...
+}
+```
+
+SDK provides a one-shot static factory:
+
+```typescript
+// Probe once before React render, never switches mid-session
+const transport = await DaemonTransport.negotiate(baseUrl, token);
+// Returns best available: acp-ws > acp-http > rest (fallback)
+```
+
+Implementation:
+
+1. `GET /capabilities` → read `transports` array
+2. If `acp-ws` in list → try WS upgrade; on success return `AcpWsTransport`
+3. If WS fails or not in list → try `acp-http`; on success return `AcpHttpTransport`
+4. Fallback → `RestSseTransport`
+
+No existing API affected: `GET /capabilities` adds a new field (additive),
+existing consumers ignore unknown fields.
+
+### 2.8 Runtime fallback (WS → REST on disconnect)
+
+When a non-REST transport disconnects mid-session:
+
+```
+AcpWsTransport (connected=true)
+  │
+  ├── WS drops (network, server restart, idle timeout)
+  │
+  ├── connected = false
+  ├── All pending fetch() calls → reject with DaemonTransportClosedError
+  ├── All subscribeEvents generators → throw DaemonTransportClosedError
+  │
+  └── Consumer (Provider / third party) detects disconnect:
+        1. Create new RestSseTransport (guaranteed to work if daemon is up)
+        2. Create new DaemonClient({ transport: newTransport })
+        3. For each active session: session/load to re-attach
+        4. Resume event subscription
+```
+
+**Key constraint**: runtime fallback is **consumer-driven, not transport-internal**.
+The transport does not silently switch protocols — it fails loudly
+(`DaemonTransportClosedError`) and the consumer decides whether to rebuild.
+
+Rationale:
+
+- WS teardown destroys all owned sessions server-side (`registry.delete` →
+  `conn.destroy`). A silent switch would hide this data loss.
+- `session/load` re-attaches to the existing bridge session (transcripts
+  preserved), but the prompt in flight is aborted. The consumer must handle
+  this explicitly (retry or surface to user).
+- No `Last-Event-ID` resume across transports yet (Phase 4). Events between
+  disconnect and reconnect may be lost. The consumer should request a full
+  state resync via `session/load` (which replays history).
+
+**AutoReconnectTransport** (~150 lines, optional wrapper):
+
+```typescript
+class AutoReconnectTransport implements DaemonTransport {
+  constructor(
+    private baseUrl: string,
+    private token: string,
+    private preferred: 'acp-ws' | 'acp-http' | 'rest',
+  ) {}
+
+  // On DaemonTransportClosedError from inner transport:
+  // 1. Try to re-create preferred transport
+  // 2. If preferred fails, fallback to REST
+  // 3. Re-initialize connection
+  // Caller still needs to session/load — this wrapper only
+  // handles transport-level reconnect, not session-level.
+}
+```
+
+This wrapper is opt-in. Existing consumers who don't want auto-reconnect
+simply catch `DaemonTransportClosedError` and handle it themselves.
+
+**Impact on existing functionality**: zero. All auto-detection and fallback
+code is additive and opt-in. `new DaemonClient({ baseUrl, token })` without
+`transport` = current REST behavior, no auto-detection, no fallback logic.
+

+| ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `subscribeEvents` on transport, not just `fetch` | SSE re-encoding through fetch is wasteful and fragile                                                                                                                           |
+| `connected: boolean` on transport                | Provider reconnect loop needs to distinguish "transport dead" from "transient 500"                                                                                              |
+| Lazy-init (not explicit `connect()`)             | Keeps DaemonClient construction synchronous; default `new RestSseTransport()` needs no init                                                                                     |
+| Auto-detection is one-shot, not mid-session      | `negotiate()` probes once at startup; runtime fallback is consumer-driven via `DaemonTransportClosedError`, not silent internal switch                                          |
+| No error taxonomy prerequisite                   | ACP transports map errors to HTTP-equivalent status codes internally; `DaemonHttpError` works as-is                                                                             |
+| Provider gets `transport` prop                   | `DaemonWorkspaceProvider` gains optional `transport` prop (~5 lines), forwarded to `DaemonClient` constructor. Third parties set this prop; omitting it = current REST behavior |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Alternatives considered
+
+### 5.1 Custom fetch injection (no new interface)
+
+Pass a WS-based `fetch` via existing `DaemonClientOptions.fetch`.
+
+**Rejected**: `subscribeEvents` validates `content-type: text/event-stream` and
+uses `parseSseStream`. A custom fetch must re-encode WS frames as SSE text, then
+the SDK decodes them back — wasteful encode-decode roundtrip. Also,
+`capabilities()` and `initialize` have different response shapes requiring a
+format mapping layer.
+
+### 5.2 Full formal interface (4 PRs, ~2750 lines)
+
+Error taxonomy → Interface → AcpHttp → AcpWs as separate PRs.
+
+**Rejected**: over-engineered. Error taxonomy is unnecessary (ACP transports can
+map to HTTP-equivalent status codes). Separate PRs increase review context-switch
+cost for a single cohesive abstraction.
+
+### 5.3 Dual provider with BridgeContext
+
+Parallel `AcpSessionProvider` + `ChatBridgeContext` + `SessionBridgeContext`.
+
+**Rejected**: causes store desync, requires ~8 files, cannot work without SDK changes.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Implementation plan (single PR)
+
+All changes land in one PR. Estimated ~1300 lines total.

+
+---
+
+## 7. Verification
+
+1. **Backward compat**: `npm run test` across sdk-typescript and webui — zero
+   test changes needed. `new DaemonClient({ baseUrl, token })` = identical behavior.
+2. **RestSseTransport extraction**: bit-for-bit equivalent SSE behavior confirmed
+   by existing test suite.
+3. **AcpWsTransport**: integration test connecting to real daemon via WS. Verify:
+   - `subscribeEvents` yields same `DaemonEvent` shapes as REST SSE
+   - prompt 202/200 branching works with synthesized Response
+   - permission vote round-trips correctly
+   - `connected` transitions to `false` on WS drop
+   - abort signal on prompt → WS sends session/cancel RPC
+4. **AcpHttpTransport**: same verification as WS but over HTTP+SSE.
+5. **Auto-detect**: `negotiate()` returns best transport; fallback to REST on WS failure.
+6. **Runtime fallback**: `AutoReconnectTransport` catches `DaemonTransportClosedError`,
+   rebuilds transport, consumer calls `session/load` for resync.
+7. **Provider**: `DaemonWorkspaceProvider` with `transport` prop — ChatView +
+   TerminalView both read from single store.
+8. **End-to-end**: Third-party passes `transport={new AcpWsTransport(url, token)}`
+   to `DaemonWorkspaceProvider`. All SDK hooks and transcript store work unchanged.

+## 8. Risks
+
+| Risk                                   | Mitigation                                                                                                               |
+| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| URL→JSON-RPC mapping table maintenance | Table co-located with transport; daemon route changes require transport update                                           |
+| ACP WS synthesized Response fidelity   | Provide `syntheticResponse(status, json)` helper; document contract (`.json()`, `.text()`, `.status`, `.body?.cancel()`) |
+| `DaemonEvent.id` monotonicity for WS   | ACP server's JSON-RPC notifications carry event id; transport surfaces it directly                                       |
+| Prompt 202 vs 200 for WS               | Transport maps JSON-RPC response → 200 with result body (blocking path); events still flow via `subscribeEvents`         |
+| WS connection drop detection           | `connected: boolean` + `DaemonTransportClosedError` thrown from `fetch`                                                  |

+| C1  | `acpAgent.ts:269` — IDE-close path                         | Pool drain only ran in SIGTERM handler; IDE-initiated normal close leaked entries until OS reaped. Mirror SIGTERM's pool drain on `await connection.closed` | `ae0b296c4`    |
+| C2  | `mcp-pool-entry.ts:cancelDrainTimer`                       | `cancelDrainTimer` reset `maxIdleTimer` on every flap, defeating the §6.3 hard cap. Now only clears `drainTimer`; max-idle survives entire entry lifetime   | `ae0b296c4`    |
+| C3  | `mcp-pool-entry.ts:doRestart`                              | Reconnect failure left entry in zombie state (`localStatus=CONNECTED`, `state='active'`, stale snapshot). Try/catch + transition to `'failed'` on failure   | `ae0b296c4`    |
+| C4  | `mcp-pool-entry.ts:forceShutdown`                          | `state='closed'` set AFTER awaits, so concurrent `acquire` could observe `'active'` and hand out stale connection. Set synchronously at top                 | `ae0b296c4`    |
+| C5  | `mcp-transport-pool.ts:drainAll`                           | Concurrent `acquire` could spawn fresh entry mid-drain. Added `draining` mutex flag + `await Promise.allSettled(spawnInFlight)` before clearing             | `ae0b296c4`    |
+| C6  | `mcp-pool-entry.ts:statusChangeListener`                   | Listener wasn't filtered by `serverName`; every entry got every server's status notifications + entry's own `markActive` write echoed back                  | `ae0b296c4`    |
+| C7  | `mcp-client-manager.ts:discoverAllMcpToolsIncremental`     | Pool-mode gate added to `discoverAllMcpTools` but missed `Incremental` — `/mcp refresh` bypassed pool, spawned per-session client                           | `ae0b296c4`    |
+| S1  | `session-mcp-view.ts:passesSessionFilter`                  | Doc didn't call out that `excludeTools` uses direct equality (no parens-form support); divergence vs. `mcp-client.ts:isEnabled`                             | `ae0b296c4`    |
+| S2  | `pid-descendants.ts` docstring                             | Claimed Windows-specific `taskkill /F` branch that didn't exist — Node polyfills `process.kill('SIGTERM')` to `TerminateProcess`                            | `ae0b296c4`    |
+| S3  | `session-mcp-view.ts:applyTools` debug log                 | String contained literal `"N"` instead of interpolation — operators saw `applied 12 tools (filtered to N registered)`                                       | `ae0b296c4`    |
+| S4  | `mcp-transport-pool.ts:createUnpooledConnection` status cb | Hardcoded to `() => CONNECTED` so `aggregateStatusByName` lied after disconnect. Now `() => client.getStatus()`                                             | `ae0b296c4`    |

+| R1  | `server.test.ts:918` `/capabilities` envelope   | Test asserted `getAdvertisedServeFeatures()` (no toggles) but server.ts passes `mcpPoolActive: opts.mcpPoolActive !== false` (default-on). Anchor toggle | `3e68c00bc`    |
+| R2  | `server.test.ts` capability default-on coverage | No test booted with default options to verify pool tags advertise. Added explicit `mcpPoolActive: false` test                                            | `3e68c00bc`    |

+| WR1 | `mcp-pool-entry.ts:maxIdleTimer`                    | C2 fix correctly preserved `maxIdleTimer` across flap, but fire-action force-closed regardless of `refs.size`. Active session with re-attach inside grace would lose tools after 5min   | `72399f109`    |
+| WR2 | `mcp-client-manager.ts:discoverAllMcpToolsViaPool`  | `releaseAllPooledConnections` + re-acquire ALL on every pass left brief window with zero MCP tools registered AND bounced every drain timer. Diff against desired `(name, fingerprint)` | `72399f109`    |
+| WR3 | `mcp-pool-entry.ts:doRestart` snapshot fan-out      | Restart updated `toolsSnapshot`/`promptsSnapshot` and emitted typed events — but no `SessionMcpView` instance subscribed to that stream. Iterate `subscribers` directly post-snapshot   | `72399f109`    |
+| WR4 | `mcp-transport-pool.ts:getSnapshot subprocessCount` | Counted websocket toward `subprocessCount` — websocket dials remote, no local child. Restricted to `'stdio'` only                                                                       | `72399f109`    |
+| WR5 | `pid-descendants.ts` PowerShell `-Filter`           | Interpolated `${pid}` directly into `-Filter` string. Entry-point `Number.isInteger` guard prevents injection today; bind to `$p` for defense-in-depth against future guard relaxations | `72399f109`    |
+| WR6 | `mcp-pool-entry.ts` ctor `cfg` field                | `readonly cfg: MCPServerConfig` was implicitly public, exposing env API keys / header auth / OAuth fields. Made `private`; new `transportKind` getter for the only external reader      | `72399f109`    |
+| WR7 | `mcp-pool-events.ts` premature exports              | 5 PoolEvent type guards + `Prompt` re-export + `PoolEntryConnectionStatus` had zero callers. Removed; kept `MCPCallInterruptedError` (design §13.4 mandate)                             | `72399f109`    |
+| WR8 | `acpAgent.ts:269,300` pool drain duplication        | SIGTERM + IDE-close had identical `if (agentInstance) { try { await shutdownMcpPool(8_000) } catch... }` blocks. Extracted `drainPoolBeforeExit(label)` helper                          | `72399f109`    |

+| 6R1 | `mcp-transport-pool.ts:onClosed`        | Slot-release race: A finishes spawn, B (different fingerprint, same name) starts spawn, A drains. Close-cb checked only `entries` (B not yet registered) → premature release | `0e58a098f`    |
+| 6R2 | `events.ts:mcpBudgetWarningCount` JSDoc | Workspace-scoped events fan to N sessions → N reducer increments; consumers aggregating across sessions double-count. Docstring updated to call out the multiplier           | `0e58a098f`    |
+| 6R3 | `acpAgent.ts:broadcastBudgetEvent`      | Iterated `this.sessions.keys()` directly during async fan-out; concurrent `killSession` could corrupt iterator. Snapshot via `Array.from(...)`                               | `0e58a098f`    |

+| W1  | `mcp-transport-pool.ts:spawnEntry` catch                       | Spawn failure leaked `statusChangeListener` permanently — only `forceShutdown` removes it. Added `entry.forceShutdown('manual')` to catch                                                     | `4a3c5cd90`    |
+| W2  | `mcp-pool-entry.ts:statusChangeListener` cross-check           | Module-level `serverStatuses` map shared across multi-fingerprint entries. A's transport error wrote DISCONNECTED, B's listener corrupted B's `localStatus`. Added `client.getStatus()` check | `4a3c5cd90`    |
+| W3  | `mcp-pool-entry.ts:doRestart` pid sweep                        | Restart skipped `listDescendantPids` + `sigtermPids` — every restart of `npx`/`uvx`-wrapped stdio orphaned the actual MCP grandchild. Added sweep before disconnect                           | `4a3c5cd90`    |
+| W4  | `mcp-pool-entry.ts:doRestart` drain timer race                 | Drain timer could fire mid-restart yield → `forceShutdown` removes entry → `client.connect` spawns orphan. Added `cancelDrainTimer` + `state→active` at top of `doRestart`                    | `4a3c5cd90`    |
+| W5  | `mcp-client-manager.ts:pooledConnections` dead handles         | When entry transitioned to `'failed'`, manager held dead `PooledConnection` forever. Subscribe to entry events; evict on `'failed'` (idempotent via `get(name) === conn` guard)               | `4a3c5cd90`    |
+| W6  | `mcp-client-manager.ts:discoverAllMcpToolsViaPool` re-entrancy | Two passes interleaving could both `set(name, conn)` → first conn leaked. Added `discoveryInFlight` mutex; second caller awaits same promise. New regression test                             | `4a3c5cd90`    |
+| W9  | `acpAgent.ts:parsePoolDrainMs` strictness                      | `Number.parseInt` accepted `'30000ms'` / `'30000abc'`. Strict `^\d+$` regex; reject with stderr warning + default fallback                                                                    | `4a3c5cd90`    |
+| W10 | `mcp-transport-pool.ts:acquire` indexAttach order              | `indexAttach` mutated `sessionToEntries` BEFORE `entry.attach()`. If `attach` threw, stale reverse-index mapping. Moved `indexAttach` after `attach` succeeds (both fast + in-flight paths)   | `4a3c5cd90`    |
+| W13 | `mcp-transport-pool.ts:subprocessCount` JSDoc                  | Doc still claimed `stdio + websocket` after WR4 restricted to stdio. Updated                                                                                                                  | `4a3c5cd90`    |

+| W15 | `bridge.ts:restartMcpServer` response                          | `as PoolEntries` cast was unsound — untyped JSON from ACP child. `Array.isArray` check + per-entry shape guard; malformed entries skipped with stderr breadcrumb                              | `4a3c5cd90`    |

+## 1. Goals / Non-goals
+
+**Goals**
+
+- N sessions in 1 workspace sharing 1 process per unique-server-config — fingerprint-keyed
+- Per-session `ToolRegistry` / `PromptRegistry` views preserved (filtering, trust)
+- Refcount + grace-drain lifecycle resilient to reattach
+- Cross-platform descendant-pid cleanup
+- Budget guardrails graduate from per-session to per-workspace (PR 14 promised this)
+- Backward compat with non-daemon standalone qwen (pool not constructed there)
+
+**Non-goals (F2 scope)**
+
+- Cross-workspace pooling (1 daemon = 1 workspace invariant from PR #4113 stands)
+- Cross-daemon pooling (out of scope — multi-process orchestrator territory)
+- OAuth routing rework (F3 with `PermissionMediator`)
+- Pool persistence across daemon restart (in-memory only)
+- Auto-detection of "pool-safe" HTTP servers (opt-in flag only)
+- Live `MCPServerConfig` diff to in-place mutate entries (config change → new entry, old drains)

+
+**What F2 inherits from each:** config-hash from claude-code (handles per-session env/auth divergence opencode doesn't), descendant-pid sweep from opencode (npx/uvx wrappers leak). What we add: refcount + drain (multi-client daemon), auto-restart (long-running daemon), prompt fan-out, generation guard.

+type ConnectionId = `${serverName}::${PoolKey}`;
+
+function fingerprint(cfg: MCPServerConfig): PoolKey {

+}
+
+/**
+ * V21-9: normalize functionally-equivalent OAuth configs so they
+ * collapse to the same fingerprint. `{enabled: false}`, `undefined`,
+ * `null`, and `{}` all mean "no OAuth" → all return `null`.
+ */
+function canonicalOAuth(o?: OAuthConfig | null): OAuthConfig | null {
+  if (!o || !o.enabled) return null;

+    authorizationUrl: o.authorizationUrl ?? null,
+    tokenUrl: o.tokenUrl ?? null,
+  };
+}
+
+// Excluded fields (per-session filters, NOT transport-level):
+//   includeTools, excludeTools, trust, description, extensionName
+```
+
+### 5.2 Transport-class gating
+
+```ts
+const POOLED_TRANSPORTS_DEFAULT = new Set(['stdio', 'websocket']);
+
+function isPoolable(cfg: MCPServerConfig, opts: PoolOptions): boolean {
+  if (isSdkMcpServerConfig(cfg)) return false;
+  const transport = mcpTransportOf(cfg);
+  return opts.pooledTransports.has(transport);
+}
+```
+
+**Default `pooledTransports = {stdio, websocket}`**. Operators opt HTTP/SSE in via:
+
+- CLI: `--mcp-pool-transports=stdio,websocket,http,sse`
+- Env: `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_POOL_TRANSPORTS=stdio,websocket,http`
+
+**Why default exclude HTTP/SSE**: some MCP HTTP server implementations bind state (auth context, conversation memory) to the TCP/SSE stream; multiple ACP sessions sharing it would bleed state. stdio + websocket are true OS processes whose state is observable and isolatable.
+
+### 5.3 SDK MCP bypass
+
+`isSdkMcpServerConfig(cfg)` true → pool returns a thin `PooledConnection` wrapper via `createUnpooledConnection(name, cfg, sid)` that constructs an `McpClient` immediately, no sharing, no entry stored in pool. Reason: `sendSdkMcpMessage` is per-session by design (routes through ACP control plane back to the originating session). Same path used for HTTP/SSE when transport not in `pooledTransports` (§10.3).
+
+V21-10: name is `createUnpooledConnection`, not `legacyInProcessAcquire` — SDK MCP and HTTP-opt-out are permanent design choices, not legacy code.

+
+### 6.2 Concurrent-acquire dedupe (`spawnInFlight`)
+
+Mirrors `McpClientManager.serverDiscoveryPromises` (mcp-client-manager.ts:350). Without it, 5 sessions spawning at boot all see `entries.has(id) === false` and race to spawn 5 child processes.
+
+### 6.3 Drain grace + idle cap
+
+```ts
+const DRAIN_DELAY_MS_DEFAULT = 30_000; // grace after last release
+const MAX_IDLE_MS_DEFAULT = 5 * 60_000; // hard cap (defense against drain cancellation loop)
+```
+
+State machine in `PoolEntry`:
+
+```
+spawning ──spawn ok──► active ──last detach──► draining ──timeout──► closed
+   │                     │                       │
+   │                     │                       └──attach──► active (cancel timer)
+   spawn fail───────────►failed
+                          │
+                          └──manual restart──► spawning
+```
+
+Hard idle cap: drain timer can be cancelled+restarted indefinitely (acquire/release flap). `MAX_IDLE_MS` is a separate timer started **at first idle** and never reset; when it fires, force-close even if drain is currently in active grace. Prevents zombie pool entries from buggy clients that thrash acquire/release.
+
+### 6.4 Cross-platform descendant-pid sweep
+
+**R10 / R23 T7 / PR A update (2026-05-22)**: switched from per-pid BFS (one `pgrep -P ` / `Get-CimInstance -Filter` subprocess per node) to a single process-table snapshot followed by in-memory tree walk. Two motivations: (1) one fork instead of B^D forks on the hot pool-shutdown path; (2) snapshot consistency — pre-fix BFS could miss descendants that forked between adjacent BFS levels. Per-pid path retained as fallback for BusyBox `ps`  {
+  if (!Number.isInteger(rootPid) || rootPid <= 0) return [];
+  try {
+    if (process.platform === 'win32')
+      return await listDescendantPidsWin(rootPid);
+    return await listDescendantPidsUnix(rootPid);
+  } catch {
+    return []; // OS reaps orphans; pool shutdown still proceeds.
+  }
+}
+
+async function listDescendantPidsUnix(root: number): Promise {
+  let tree: Map | undefined;
+  try {
+    tree = await snapshotProcessTreeUnix(); // ps -A -o pid=,ppid=
+  } catch {
+    /* fall through to fallback */
+  }
+  if (tree) return walkDescendants(tree, root); // O(descendants), 1 fork
+  return await listDescendantPidsUnixPgrepFallback(root); // legacy BFS
+}
+
+async function snapshotProcessTreeUnix(): Promise> {
+  // -A: all processes (POSIX, equivalent to -e but unambiguous on BSD).
+  // -o pid=,ppid=: pid + ppid columns, trailing `=` suppresses headers.
+  const { stdout } = await execFile('ps', ['-A', '-o', 'pid=,ppid='], {
+    timeout: 2000,
+    maxBuffer: 8 * 1024 * 1024, // covers >250k-process pathological hosts
+  });
+  const childrenByPpid = new Map();
+  for (const line of stdout.split('\n')) {
+    const m = line.trim().match(/^(\d+)\s+(\d+)$/);
+    if (!m) continue;
+    /* parse, push into childrenByPpid */
+  }
+  return childrenByPpid;
+}
+
+// Windows: single Get-CimInstance Win32_Process | ConvertTo-Csv snapshot
+// of all (ProcessId, ParentProcessId) rows + in-memory walk; per-pid
+// `Get-CimInstance -Filter "ParentProcessId=$p"` retained as fallback.
+```
+
+Called from `PoolEntry.shutdown()` before `client.disconnect()`. Handles `npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-X`, `uvx ...`, `pnpm dlx ...` wrapper leaks. MAX_DESCENDANTS=256 / MAX_DEPTH=8 caps preserved.
+
+### 6.5 Spawn failure handling
+
+If `spawnEntry` rejects after multiple subscribers attached (via `spawnInFlight`):
+
+- All awaiters get the rejection
+- `tryReserveSlot` released **via explicit `.catch` arm in `acquire`** (V21-4); without this fix the slot leaked until next health-monitor pass, which never ran because no entry existed to monitor.
+- Failed entry NOT stored in `entries`
+- Subscribers' code paths handle as if `acquire` originally failed (existing per-session `discoverMcpToolsForServer` catch logic remains valid)
+
+### 6.6 Reconnect backoff (V21-8)
+
+When a `PoolEntry` enters reconnect after transport drop:
+
+| Transport family | Strategy                                     | Cap                                                              |
+| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| stdio            | Fixed 5s × 3 attempts                        | Per existing `DEFAULT_HEALTH_CONFIG.reconnectDelayMs`            |
+| websocket        | Fixed 5s × 3 attempts                        | Same as stdio                                                    |
+| http (opt-in)    | Exponential 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s × 5 attempts | Remote endpoints flap on transient network issues; longer budget |
+| sse (opt-in)     | Exponential 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s × 5 attempts | Same as http                                                     |
+
+After cap exhaustion: entry transitions to `failed` state; subscribers receive `failed` event; new `acquire` for same `ConnectionId` retries spawn once, then throws. Operator restart (§13) resets state.

+  for (const t of tools) this.toolRegistry.registerTool(t);
+  for (const p of prompts) this.promptRegistry.registerPrompt(p);
+}
+```
+
+```ts

+    this.sessionToolRegistry.removeToolsByServer(this.serverName);
+    for (const tool of snapshot) {

+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 7.2 Snapshot replay on attach (earlyEvents-style)
+
+```ts
+class PoolEntry {
+  attach(sid: string): PooledConnection {
+    this.refs.add(sid);
+    this.cancelDrainTimer();
+    const view = new SessionMcpView(...);
+    this.subscribers.set(sid, view);
+    // Immediately replay current snapshot so subscriber doesn't miss
+    // updates that landed between in-flight discover completion and

+      view.applyTools(this.toolsSnapshot);
+      view.applyPrompts(this.promptsSnapshot);
+    }
+    return this.makeHandle(sid, view);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Mirrors PR 14b fix #1's `BridgeClient.earlyEvents` pattern — solves analogous race for pool attachment.
+
+### 7.3 Stale-handler guard (generation counter)
+
+```ts
+class PoolEntry {
+  private generation = 0;
+
+  private async reconnect(): Promise {
+    this.generation += 1;
+    const myGen = this.generation;
+    await this.client.disconnect();
+    await this.client.connect();
+    if (myGen !== this.generation) return; // superseded by another reconnect
+    const snap = await this.client.discoverAndReturn(this.cfg);
+    if (myGen !== this.generation) return;
+    this.toolsSnapshot = snap.tools;
+    this.promptsSnapshot = snap.prompts;
+    this.fanOut('toolsChanged');
+    this.fanOut('promptsChanged');
+  }
+
+  private onServerToolsListChanged = () => {
+    const myGen = this.generation;
+    this.client
+      .discoverAndReturn(this.cfg)
+      .then((snap) => {
+        if (myGen !== this.generation) return;
+        this.toolsSnapshot = snap.tools;
+        this.fanOut('toolsChanged');
+      })
+      .catch(/* swallow + log */);
+  };
+}
+```
+
+Without this, a stale handler from a pre-reconnect Client instance could overwrite the post-reconnect snapshot with stale data.
+
+**Monotonicity invariant** (V21 clarification): `generation` only increments, never resets. Any in-flight operation captures `myGen` at entry, then post-`await` checks `myGen === this.generation`. Equivalent to "no superseding event has happened since I started". Bounded by Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER (~285k years at 1Hz reconnect), no overflow concern.
+
+### 7.4 Path unification (F2-1 scope expansion)
+
+`packages/core/src/tools/mcp-client.ts` has TWO connect-to-server paths:
+
+1. `McpClient` class (mcp-client.ts:100) — used by `McpClientManager`
+2. `connectToMcpServer` factory function (mcp-client.ts:875) — used by `discoverMcpTools` (line 560) and `connectAndDiscover` (line 607)
+
+F2-1 must converge both behind `McpClient.discoverAndReturn` (with `connectToMcpServer` becoming a private helper of `McpClient` or both calling a shared `establishConnection()` primitive). Otherwise pool only covers the class path; the factory path remains per-session and undermines the whole effort.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Global State Coexistence
+
+### 8.1 `serverStatuses` (mcp-client.ts:292) — collision-tolerant write
+
+Module-level `Map`. Pool's `ConnectionId` is `name::hash`, but `updateMCPServerStatus(name, status)` writes by name. **Multiple pool entries for same name (different fingerprints, e.g. token-divergence) would clobber each other's status.**
+
+**Resolution**: pool intercepts status writes:
+
+```ts
+class PoolEntry {
+  updateStatus(s: MCPServerStatus) {
+    this.localStatus = s;
+    const aggregated = this.pool.aggregateStatusByName(this.serverName);
+    updateMCPServerStatus(this.serverName, aggregated);
+  }
+}
+
+class McpTransportPool {
+  aggregateStatusByName(name: string): MCPServerStatus {
+    // Any CONNECTED ⇒ CONNECTED
+    // Else any CONNECTING ⇒ CONNECTING
+    // Else DISCONNECTED
+    const entries = [...this.entries.values()].filter(
+      (e) => e.serverName === name,
+    );
+    if (entries.some((e) => e.localStatus === CONNECTED)) return CONNECTED;
+    if (entries.some((e) => e.localStatus === CONNECTING)) return CONNECTING;
+    return DISCONNECTED;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Status route surfaces `entryCount: number` so operators see when name → multiple entries.
+
+### 8.2 OAuth token storage
+
+`MCPOAuthTokenStorage` writes to `~/.qwen/mcp-oauth/.json` — already daemon-host-shared. Pool benefits incidentally (first session's OAuth completes → token on disk → pool entry's reconnect picks up token → all other sessions piggy-back).
+
+**Caveat — multi-fingerprint case**: 2 entries for same name (different headers/env) but same OAuth provider → both read the same token file. If tokens are server-scoped (OAuth typical), this works. If tokens are env-scoped (rare), explicit storage key extension needed. **Punt to F3** with a documented known-limitation.
+
+### 8.3 `entryCount` in snapshot
+
+`GET /workspace/mcp` per-server cell adds:
+
+```ts
+{
+  kind: 'mcp_server',
+  name: 'github',
+  status: 'ok',
+  mcpStatus: 'connected',
+  entryCount: 2,                          // NEW — N pool entries for this name
+  entrySummary?: [                        // NEW — opaque per-entry breakdown
+    { entryIndex: 0, refs: 2, status: 'connected' },
+    { entryIndex: 1, refs: 1, status: 'connecting' },
+  ],
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+**V21-7**: `entrySummary[].entryIndex` is a **stable opaque integer** assigned at entry creation (insertion order within name group), NOT the raw fingerprint. Reasoning: fingerprint changes when OAuth tokens or env vars rotate, which would leak that information through snapshot diffs (operator could infer "token rotated at T+5min" from `'a3b1' → 'f972'` transition). `entryIndex` is monotonic within name group but stays stable across rotations because old entry drains and new entry gets next index.
+
+Old SDK clients ignore unknown fields per PR 14 contract; new clients use `entryCount` for badges. Internal restart-by-fingerprint path uses an opaque token returned only via privileged extMethod, not exposed in HTTP snapshot.
+
+---
+
+## 9. WorkspaceContext / ListRoots
+
+### 9.1 Single registration
+
+Pool's `McpClient` instances share **one** `WorkspaceContext` — the daemon's bound workspace context (PR #4113 invariant). `connectToMcpServer`'s `ListRootsRequestSchema` handler closes over this single context.
+
+`onDirectoriesChanged` listener registered **once per entry**, not once per `acquire`. Detached on entry shutdown.
+
+### 9.2 `roots/list_changed` fan-up
+
+Server notifies client of new roots → pool fans out:
+
+- Pool re-discovers (server may report different tool set under new roots) → `toolsChanged` event → all subscriber views re-apply
+
+### 9.3 Per-session `updateWorkspaceDirectories`
+
+**Contract**: in Mode B, per-session directory additions are a soft hint, not authoritative. Pool's `WorkspaceContext` is daemon-level.
+
+Two implementations choices:
+
+- **v1 simple**: ignore per-session adds, log warning when detected
+- **v2 union**: pool maintains `extraRoots: Map>`, ListRoots handler returns union of bound workspace + all extras. Per-session removal triggers `roots/list_changed`. Adds 50-80 LOC complexity.
+
+**Pick v1 simple for F2**; v2 union as follow-up if user pain materializes.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Per-session Injection
+
+### 10.1 `mcpServers` from `newSession({mcpServers})`
+
+`newSessionConfig(cwd, mcpServers, ...)` merges injected list with `settings.merged.mcpServers` (acpAgent.ts:1778-1831). Pool consumes the **per-session merged view**:
+
+```ts
+async newSessionConfig(...) {
+  const config = await loadCliConfig(...);
+  if (this.mcpPool) config.setMcpTransportPool(this.mcpPool);
+  // ...existing setMcpBudgetEventCallback REMOVED — pool handles broadcast directly
+}
+```
+
+When two sessions inject same-name server with different env/headers → different fingerprints → two pool entries. Pool sharing kicks in only when sessions agree exactly.
+
+### 10.2 Auth divergence
+
+Static `~/.qwen/settings.json` mcpServers are identical across sessions → all share → 80% case. Per-session injected mcpServers with per-user tokens → unique fingerprints → no sharing. Both safe.
+
+### 10.3 HTTP transport opt-in (recap from §5.2)
+
+Default `pooledTransports = {stdio, websocket}`. HTTP/SSE servers go through `createUnpooledConnection` path (one McpClient per session) unless operator opts in.
+
+### 10.4 `/mcp disable X` mid-session (V21-6)
+
+When operator runs `/mcp disable github` against a live session:
+
+1. `Config.disableMcpServer('github')` adds to per-Config `disabledMcpServers` set
+2. **F2 hook**: `Config.onDisabledMcpServersChanged` fires; `SessionMcpView` for that name calls `teardown()` (removes its tool/prompt registrations from session registries)
+3. Pool entry **may stay alive** if other sessions still reference it (refcount > 0) — only the disabling session's view detaches
+4. If all sessions disable → refcount → 0 → drain timer starts
+
+Without step 2, mid-session disable would leave already-registered tools in the session's `ToolRegistry` until next session restart. Test 21.4 covers this.
+
+`/mcp enable github` is the inverse: triggers fresh `pool.acquire` for the session, attaches new view, re-applies snapshot.

+## 11. Budget Guardrails Graduation

+### 11.1 State machine moves to pool

+`tryReserveSlot` / `releaseSlotName` / 75% hysteresis / refused_batch coalescing / `bulkPassDepth` / `pendingRefusalNames` — all migrate from `McpClientManager` to `McpTransportPool`. `McpClientManager` retains the state only when running standalone (no pool injected).
+
+### 11.2 Snapshot cell scope
+
+```ts
+{
+  kind: 'mcp_budget',
+  scope: 'workspace',          // NEW value (PR 14 v1 returned 'session')
+  liveCount: 5,
+  clientBudget: 10,
+  budgetMode: 'enforce',
+  status: 'ok',
+}
+```
+
+Per PR 14 contract: "Consumers MUST tolerate additional entries with unrecognized scope values (drop, don't fail)." Old SDK clients see `scope: 'workspace'`, render as unknown (or fallback to top-level numbers). New SDK adds `isWorkspaceScopedBudget(cell)` helper.
+
+### 11.3 Event fan-out
+
+```ts
+class QwenAgent {
+  constructor() {
+    this.mcpPool = new McpTransportPool({
+      onBudgetEvent: (event) => this.broadcastBudgetEvent(event),
+    });
+  }
+
+  private broadcastBudgetEvent(event: McpBudgetEvent) {
+    for (const [sid, session] of this.sessions) {
+      const enriched = {
+        ...event,
+        scope: 'workspace' as const,
+        sessionId: sid,
+      };
+      session.connection
+        .extNotification('qwen/notify/session/mcp-budget-event', enriched)
+        .catch((err) =>
+          debugLogger.debug('budget event delivery failed', { sid, err }),
+        );
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 11.4 SDK type contract changes
+
+PR 14b exported these (must extend additively):
+
+- `DaemonMcpBudgetWarningData` — add `scope?: 'workspace' | 'session'` (optional for backward compat; absent = 'session')
+- `DaemonMcpChildRefusedBatchData` — same `scope?` extension
+- `DaemonMcpGuardrailEvent` — discriminator unchanged
+
+New SDK helpers:
+
+```ts
+export function isWorkspaceScopedBudgetEvent(
+  e: DaemonMcpGuardrailEvent,
+): boolean;
+```
+
+Reducer state on `DaemonSessionViewState`:
+
+- **No new fields** — `mcpBudgetWarningCount` / `mcpChildRefusedBatchCount` increment regardless of scope (scope is a property of each event, not a separate stream)
+- Document that under F2 these counts reflect workspace-level events fanned to every session — they will increment **simultaneously across all attached sessions** when budget pressure occurs
+
+**V21-12 (Q1 resolved, locked in v2.1)**: keep existing field names (`mcpBudgetWarningCount`, `mcpChildRefusedBatchCount`, `lastMcpBudgetWarning`, `lastMcpChildRefusedBatch`) with extended scope semantics documented in JSDoc:
+
+```ts
+/**
+ * Count of `mcp_budget_warning` events the session has observed.
+ * Under F2 (`scope: 'workspace'`), this increments simultaneously
+ * across all attached sessions because budget events fan out at
+ * workspace level. Use `isWorkspaceScopedBudgetEvent(lastMcpBudgetWarning)`
+ * to inspect scope of the most recent event.
+ */
+mcpBudgetWarningCount: number;
+```
+
+Rationale: PR 14b already shipped these names as public SDK surface; renaming is a breaking change worse than the slightly imprecise semantics.
+

+
+## 12. OAuth — Explicit F3 Deferral
+
+OAuth 401 fallback in `connectToMcpServer` (mcp-client.ts:950-1010) needs interactive resolution (browser open or device-flow). Mode B daemon **must not spawn a browser** (per PR 21 design — static-source grep test fails build on `open`/`xdg-open`/`shell.openExternal`).
+
+**F2 behavior on OAuth-requiring server**:
+
+1. First acquire triggers `connectToMcpServer` → 401 detected
+2. Pool catches OAuth-required exception, marks entry as `failed_auth_required`
+3. Status route surfaces `errorKind: 'auth_env_error'` (existing PR 13 errorKind)
+4. Pool **does not retry automatically**
+5. Operator runs `/mcp auth ` (existing CLI) OR uses PR 21's device-flow route to get a token on disk → next session acquire re-attempts and succeeds
+
+**F3 will replace step 4-5** with `PermissionMediator` routing OAuth completion request to attached sessions for first-responder.
+
+This avoids F2 mixing into auth state-machine work.
+
+---
+
+## 13. Restart Route Semantics
+
+### 13.1 `POST /workspace/mcp/:server/restart` under pool
+
+Today (PR 17): restart in bootstrap session's manager = restart the single entry for that name.
+
+Under pool: name → possibly multiple entries (different fingerprints for same name = different sessions with different configs).
+
+**Spec'd behavior**:
+
+| Request                                            | Behavior                                                                             |
+| -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `POST /workspace/mcp/:server/restart`              | Restart **all** entries matching `serverName` (parallel via `Promise.allSettled`)    |
+| `POST /workspace/mcp/:server/restart?entryIndex=0` | V21-3: restart only entry #0 (the opaque index from snapshot §8.3); 404 if not found |
+| `POST /workspace/mcp/:server/restart?entryIndex=*` | Explicit "all" (same as no param)                                                    |
+
+Response shape:
+
+```ts
+type RestartResult = {
+  entryIndex: number;        // V21-7: opaque index, not raw fingerprint
+  restarted: boolean;
+  durationMs?: number;
+  reason?: string;           // 'budget_would_exceed' | 'not_connected' | 'in_flight'
+};
+POST /workspace/mcp/:server/restart → { entries: RestartResult[] }
+```
+
+Old shape `{restarted: true, durationMs}` retained when `entries.length === 1` AND no `entryIndex` query param for backward compat; clients can detect new shape by checking `'entries' in response`.
+
+### 13.2 In-flight restart dedupe
+
+```ts
+class PoolEntry {
+  private restartInFlight?: Promise;
+  async restart(): Promise {
+    if (this.restartInFlight) return this.restartInFlight;
+    this.restartInFlight = this.doRestart().finally(() => {
+      this.restartInFlight = undefined;
+    });
+    return this.restartInFlight;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 13.3 Budget check (preserves PR 17 behavior)
+
+Pre-restart, pool checks budget: if disconnect+reconnect would still fit, OK. The current PR 17 `{restarted:false, skipped:true, reason:'budget_would_exceed'}` semantic preserved (just now applied per-entry).
+
+### 13.4 In-flight tool call during reconnect (V21-5, new)
+
+Session A invokes `pool.callTool('git.commit', args)` → request hits stdin of underlying child → child process crashes mid-write → entry transitions to reconnect:
+
+```ts
+class MCPCallInterruptedError extends Error {
+  readonly serverName: string;
+  readonly entryIndex: number;
+  readonly clientGeneration: number;   // pre-reconnect generation
+  readonly args: unknown;              // original args, for caller to retry if safe
+  constructor(serverName, entryIndex, clientGeneration, args) { ... }
+}
+```
+
+**Spec**:
+
+- The in-flight call promise rejects with `MCPCallInterruptedError` as soon as transport drop detected (don't wait for reconnect)
+- Pool **does NOT auto-retry** the call; semantics unsafe for writes (commit, file edit, etc.) and pool can't distinguish read from write
+- Caller (typically tool execution layer in agent loop) catches this error and decides: retry / surface to user / abort
+- After reconnect: session A can re-call (same `PooledConnection.callTool`); pool routes to the new transport instance transparently
+- `MCPCallInterruptedError.clientGeneration` lets caller correlate with subsequent `reconnected` event if needed
+
+Test 21.6 must cover: spawn a long-running stdio MCP, send tool call, kill the child mid-call, assert `MCPCallInterruptedError` rejection with non-zero `clientGeneration`.
+
+---
+
+## 14. Status Route Refactor
+
+### 14.1 New query path
+
+```ts
+// httpAcpBridge.ts:733 buildWorkspaceMcpStatus — replace data source
+let accounting: McpClientAccounting | undefined;
+try {
+  // NEW: query pool directly via bridge extMethod, not bootstrap session
+  accounting = await this.bridge.client.getMcpPoolAccounting();
+} catch (err) {
+  // Fallback to legacy bootstrap session path for non-pool daemon
+  const manager = config.getToolRegistry()?.getMcpClientManager();
+  if (manager) accounting = manager.getMcpClientAccounting();
+}
+```
+
+`QwenAgent` exposes `getMcpPoolAccounting()`:
+
+```ts
+class QwenAgent {
+  getMcpPoolAccounting(): McpClientAccounting | undefined {
+    return this.mcpPool?.getAccounting();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+ACP child bridges through `extMethod` for the daemon to call.
+
+### 14.2 entryCount + entrySummary
+
+Per §8.3.
+
+### 14.3 No-bootstrap-session case
+
+Today (PR 12), when daemon is idle (no sessions yet), `GET /workspace/mcp` returns `initialized: false` because there's no bootstrap session to query.
+
+Under pool: pool exists from `QwenAgent` ctor → status route can return live accounting **even with zero sessions**. Cell `initialized: true` even pre-first-session. **Documented behavior change** in PR description; not a regression.
+
+---
+
+## 15. loadSession / resume Interaction (PR 6 #4222)
+
+### 15.1 Drain cancellation on resume
+
+```
+session-A active, holds entry-X ref
+session-A disconnect (no explicit close) → eventually killSession → pool.releaseSession(A) → entry-X.refs.size === 0 → drain timer starts (30s)
+session-A resume within 30s → new newSessionConfig → pool.acquire returns entry-X → attach cancels drain
+session-A resume after 30s → entry-X already closed → pool spawns new entry (cold start)
+```
+
+### 15.2 `restoreState` cache window (5min, from PR 6)
+
+`acpAgent.restoreState` is held 5 min after disconnect. Pool drain (30s default) < restore window (5min) → resume between 30s and 5min pays MCP cold start. Acceptable trade-off (resume itself is rare path).
+
+Alternative: pool reads daemon's restore-window config and extends drain to match. Adds coupling between pool and session state machine; **defer to follow-up unless user reports cold-start pain**.
+
+### 15.3 `pendingRestoreIds` interaction
+
+`acpAgent.killSession()` must call `pool.releaseSession(sid)` AFTER cleaning `pendingRestoreIds`. Order:
+
+1. Session marked as restorable (`pendingRestoreIds.add(sid)`)
+2. Session.close() — but pool ref still held
+3. After `RESTORE_WINDOW_MS` elapses without resume: `killSession` permanently cleans → `pool.releaseSession(sid)` triggers drain
+
+Avoids drain firing during a restore window.
+
+---
+
+## 16. Hot Config Reload
+
+### 16.1 Implicit reload via fingerprint change
+
+User edits `~/.qwen/settings.json` mid-flight, changes a server's env:
+
+1. Old sessions keep old `Config`/`McpServers` snapshot → keep acquiring old fingerprint → entry-OLD ref persists
+2. New session reads fresh settings → new fingerprint → entry-NEW created → coexists with entry-OLD
+3. Old sessions naturally close → entry-OLD drains → eventually closed
+4. Steady state: only entry-NEW remains
+
+**No live-mutation of running connections** — clean separation between sessions on different config versions.
+
+### 16.2 Forced reload route (optional)
+
+```
+POST /workspace/mcp/reload-all
+  → for each session: re-load settings, swap Config.mcpServers
+  → for each entry no longer referenced: schedule eviction
+```
+
+Useful for "I changed env vars and want immediate effect across all sessions." Defer to F2 follow-up (not blocking).
+
+### 16.3 Extension uninstall orphan entries (V21-15)
+
+Scenario: extension `foo-ext` registers MCP server `foo-server`. Operator runs `/extension uninstall foo-ext`. Extension lifecycle removes `foo-server` from `extensionMcpServers` so future `loadCliConfig` calls don't include it. But:
+
+- Live sessions hold `Config` snapshots that still include `foo-server` → those sessions keep using the entry
+- New sessions after uninstall don't acquire (server no longer in their merged mcpServers) → no refcount increase
+
+**Resolution**: rely on natural drain. As old sessions close, refcount drops; eventually entry hits `MAX_IDLE_MS = 5min` and is force-closed. **No explicit `pool.invalidateByExtension(name)` API** — keeps the model uniform with hot config reload (§16.1).
+
+Trade-off: extension's server may run up to 5min after uninstall if a long session keeps it alive. Acceptable; operators can `/mcp restart foo-server` then kill the session if urgency requires.
+
+---
+
+## 17. Shutdown Ordering
+
+`QwenAgent.close()` sequence (must be enforced):
+
+```
+1. Set acceptingNewSessions = false; reject new POST /session
+2. For each in-flight prompt: signal cancel, await completion (existing PR 11 lifecycle)
+3. For each session: trigger close → pool.releaseSession(sid)
+4. await pool.drainAll({ force: true, timeoutMs: 10_000 })   ← bypasses 30s grace
+   ├── For each entry: cancel drain + health timers, mark draining
+   ├── For each entry in parallel: listDescendantPids → SIGTERM children
+   ├── For each entry in parallel: client.disconnect()
+   └── Promise.race against timeoutMs; abandoned entries get SIGKILL
+5. Bridge channel close
+6. Process exit
+```
+
+**V21-11**: `drainAll` signature:
+
+```ts
+async drainAll(opts?: {
+  force?: boolean;       // default false; true bypasses 30s grace timer
+  timeoutMs?: number;    // default 10_000; wall-clock budget; SIGKILL stragglers after
+}): Promise;
+
+type DrainResult = {
+  drained: number;       // entries that disconnected cleanly
+  forced: number;        // entries SIGKILLed after timeout
+  errors: Array<{ entryIndex: number; serverName: string; error: string }>;
+};
+```
+
+Caller uses `DrainResult` for shutdown logging; on `forced > 0` log a warning so operator knows a server didn't shut down cleanly.

+## 20. Capability Tags + SDK Contract Changes
+
+### 20.1 New capability tags (advertised atomically in v0.16, V21-1)
+
+Because F2 ships as one PR, all three tags advertise together. Pool consumers may assume **`mcp_workspace_pool` advertise ⇒ `entryCount`/`entrySummary`/`scope?` fields all present**; no per-field capability check needed.
+
+| Tag                        | When advertised                                                                                        | Meaning                                                                                                |
+| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `mcp_workspace_pool`       | When `QwenAgent.mcpPool !== undefined` (always true in daemon mode unless `--no-mcp-pool` kill switch) | `GET /workspace/mcp` reflects pool-level state; `entryCount` + `entrySummary` fields present           |
+| `mcp_pool_restart`         | Always when `mcp_workspace_pool` is on                                                                 | `POST /workspace/mcp/:server/restart` accepts `?entryIndex=` and may return `entries: RestartResult[]` |
+| (extends `mcp_guardrails`) | unchanged                                                                                              | Same tag, payload extended with `scope` (`'workspace'` under F2)                                       |
+
+### 20.2 SDK additive surface
+
+```ts
+// @qwen-code/sdk — additive only
+export interface DaemonMcpBudgetWarningData {
+  // existing fields...
+  scope?: 'workspace' | 'session'; // NEW — absent on old daemons (means 'session')
+}
+
+export interface DaemonMcpChildRefusedBatchData {
+  // existing fields...
+  scope?: 'workspace' | 'session';
+}
+
+export interface ServeWorkspaceMcpServerStatus {
+  // existing fields...
+  entryCount?: number;
+  entrySummary?: Array<{
+    fingerprint: string;
+    refs: number;
+    status: MCPServerStatus;
+  }>;
+}
+
+export function isWorkspaceScopedBudgetEvent(
+  e: DaemonMcpGuardrailEvent,
+): boolean;
+```
+
+`EVENT_SCHEMA_VERSION` stays at `1` (additive).

+
+## 21. Test Matrix
+
+### 21.1 Pool key (F2-2)
+
+- Same cfg → same key (env-key permutation stable, header-key permutation stable)
+- env value diff 1 byte → different key
+- header `Authorization` value diff → different key
+- `includeTools`/`excludeTools`/`trust` mutated → SAME key (per-session filter)
+- Two `new MCPServerConfig(...)` with identical content → same key (canonical hash, not identity)
+
+### 21.2 Lifecycle (F2-2)
+
+- 3 sessions acquire same key → 1 spawn (verify via spy on `client.connect`)
+- Release sequence n,n-1,...,1 → drain timer starts only on 1→0
+- 30s drain: acquire at 25s cancels timer; acquire at 35s spawns new entry
+- `MAX_IDLE_MS` (5min) hard close even if drain flapping
+- Spawn fails during in-flight: all awaiters get error; slot released; no entry stored
+
+### 21.3 Concurrent acquire (F2-2)
+
+- 5 simultaneous `acquire(sameKey)` while no entry exists → exactly 1 `spawnEntry` call, all 5 get same entry
+- Spawn rejects → all 5 awaiters reject with same error; subsequent acquire re-spawns
+
+### 21.4 Per-session isolation (F2-2)
+
+- Session A `excludeTools: ['foo']`, Session B no exclusion → A's ToolRegistry omits foo, B has it; both from same `toolsSnapshot`
+- Session A `trust: true`, Session B `trust: false` → Session A's `DiscoveredMCPTool.trust === true`, B's `false`; verify NOT shared reference (mutating one doesn't affect other)
+- Session A acquires prompt-only server → A's PromptRegistry populated, ToolRegistry empty for that server
+
+### 21.5 Tool/Prompt list change (F2-2)
+
+- Server emits `notifications/tools/list_changed` → all subscribers' `applyTools` called with new snapshot
+- Stale handler from pre-reconnect generation does NOT overwrite snapshot
+- `notifications/prompts/list_changed` analog
+
+### 21.6 Crash + reconnect (F2-2)
+
+- Kill subprocess via `process.kill` → subscribers receive `disconnected` event
+- 3 reconnect attempts (using existing `MCPHealthMonitorConfig`) → success → `reconnected` + fresh snapshot
+- Exhausted retries → all subscribers receive `failed`; entry transitions to `failed` state; new acquires retry once then throw
+
+### 21.7 Descendant pid sweep (F2-2b)
+
+- Linux/macOS: spawn `bash -c "sleep 60 & sleep 60"` as stdio command → kill root → verify both descendants reaped (`/proc//status` poll, or `kill(0, pid) === false`)
+- Windows: spawn `cmd /c "ping -t localhost"` wrapper → kill → verify ping subprocess gone
+- `pgrep` unavailable (PATH missing) → graceful degradation: log warning, just SIGTERM root, don't crash
+
+### 21.8 Budget at workspace scope (F2-4)
+
+- 4 sessions × `--mcp-client-budget=2` with 3 static MCP servers → workspace total = 3 (not 12); snapshot cell `scope: 'workspace'`, `liveCount: 3`
+- Budget warning fires once per 75% upward crossing across whole workspace; broadcasts to all 4 sessions simultaneously
+- Hysteresis re-arm: drop to 37.5% → next crossing fires again
+
+### 21.9 Backward compat (F2-3)
+
+- Standalone `qwen` (no daemon) → `mcpPool === undefined` → all existing `mcp-client-manager.test.ts` tests pass unchanged
+- `--no-mcp-pool` daemon flag → falls back to per-session, all existing daemon e2e tests pass
+
+### 21.10 Credential isolation (F2-3)
+
+- Session A injects `{name: 'github', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer tokenA'}}`, Session B `tokenB` → 2 separate processes; verify by snapshot `entryCount: 2`; verify A's tool calls go through A's transport (by header inspection in stdin/log)
+
+### 21.11 LoadSession / resume (F2-3)
+
+- Session close → drain starts → resume within 30s → pool entry reused (no cold start, asserted via `client.connect` spy count)
+- Resume after 30s but before restore-window expiry → pool cold start; restoreState content still preserved
+
+### 21.12 Restart route (F2-3b)
+
+- 1 entry for name → `POST /workspace/mcp/foo/restart` returns legacy `{restarted: true, durationMs}` shape
+- 2 entries for name (different fingerprints) → returns `{entries: [{fingerprint, restarted, ...}, ...]}`
+- Restart while another restart in-flight → second call returns same promise (deduped)
+- Restart when budget would exceed → `{restarted: false, skipped: true, reason: 'budget_would_exceed'}` per entry
+
+### 21.13 Status route (F2-3b)
+
+- Idle daemon (no sessions) but pool has cached entries from previous session → `GET /workspace/mcp` returns `initialized: true` with live accounting
+- Bootstrap session DNE → fallback to pool-direct path; no error
+- Pool query throws → falls back to bootstrap-session path; never crashes snapshot
+
+### 21.14 SDK reducer (F2-4)
+
+- `mcpBudgetWarningCount` increments simultaneously across all subscriber sessions when workspace event broadcasts
+- `isWorkspaceScopedBudgetEvent(e)` correctly identifies scope from payload
+- Old daemon (no `scope` field) → defaults to 'session' interpretation
+
+### 21.15 Hot config reload (F2-3)
+
+- Mid-flight settings.json change → old session keeps old entry, new session creates new entry, both coexist; old drains naturally when last old session closes
+- 0 sessions after old session closes → drain timer fires → old entry GC'd → only new entry remains
+
+### 21.16 Shutdown ordering (F2-3)
+
+- `QwenAgent.close()` triggers in order: stop accepting → drain prompts → close sessions → `pool.drainAll` → no zombie pids in `pgrep -P ` after exit
+

+
+## 23. Risks
+
+### High
+
+- **R1 (A2 global state)**: `serverStatuses` collision on multi-entry same-name. Mitigated by aggregate-status function; remaining risk is SDK consumers reading the raw global Map (unlikely — only used via `getMCPServerStatus(name)` accessor).
+- **R2 (PromptRegistry symmetry)**: forgetting prompt fan-out in any code path silently drops prompts. Mitigated by F2-2 test 21.4 third bullet + integration test asserting prompt parity vs pre-F2.
+- **R3 (HTTP transport state-bleed)**: opting in HTTP pool for a server that maintains per-transport state corrupts session contexts. Mitigated by default-off + documentation; cannot detect automatically.
+
+### Medium
+
+- **R4 (path unification F2-1)**: `connectToMcpServer` factory and `McpClient` class have subtle behavioral diffs (e.g. capabilities advertised at construct time vs connect time). Mitigated by F2-1 being a pure refactor PR with full regression coverage before pool work begins.
+- **R5 (Windows descendant pid)**: PowerShell `Get-CimInstance` may be slow (spawn cost) or blocked by AppLocker. Mitigated by 2s timeout + graceful degradation.
+- **R6 (Pool event broadcast amplification)**: budget warning fanning out to 100 sessions causes 100 extNotification calls in tight loop. Mitigated by `Promise.all` parallelization + per-session catch (existing PR 14b pattern).
+
+### Low
+
+- **R7 (Fingerprint stability across MCPServerConfig versions)**: future fields added to `MCPServerConfig` not included in fingerprint would silently allow incorrect sharing. Mitigated by explicit canonicalization function + test that enumerates all `MCPServerConfig` fields and asserts coverage.
+- **R8 (Generation counter races)**: rapid restart cycles could exhaust JS number precision (≈ 2^53 = ~285k years at 1/sec). Not a practical concern.
+
+### Single-PR-specific (V21-14)
+
+- **R9 (Review fatigue on ~6000 LOC single PR)**: Reviewer bandwidth becomes critical path. F3 blocked on F2 merge → blocking other contributors. Mitigation: (a) pre-review with 3 specialist agents and fold P0/P1 before opening, mirroring PR 21's pattern; (b) structure as 6 atomic commits so reviewer can step through; (c) coordinate review window with @wenshao in advance via #4175 comment.
+- **R10 (`daemon_mode_b_main` merge conflict accumulation)**: F2 touches `acpAgent.ts`, `httpAcpBridge.ts`, `capabilities.ts`, `mcp-client*.ts` — all hot paths. F3 / F4 contributors landing concurrently risk conflicts during F2's 1–2 week review window. Mitigation: daily `git rebase origin/daemon_mode_b_main`; coordinate via #4175 update that F2 is in-flight + asks F3/F4 to defer hot-file changes until F2 merges.
+- **R11 (CI execution time)**: ~1900 LOC of new tests including subprocess spawn + cross-platform pid sweep could push CI from 30min → 50min. Mitigation: (a) gate subprocess tests behind `process.env.QWEN_INTEGRATION === '1'`, run subset in PR CI + full set in nightly; (b) Vitest parallelism ≥ 4; (c) Windows pid sweep tests skip-gated on GHA Windows runner only.

+## Summary
+
+F2 v2.1 = single PR with 6 atomic commits (~6000 LOC), targeting `daemon_mode_b_main`. Key design pillars:
+
+1. **`McpTransportPool`** in `packages/core` (ACP child side), workspace-scoped, refcount + 30s drain
+2. **Fingerprint key** SHA-256 over canonical config including env/headers (claude-code pattern), excluding per-session filters (includeTools/trust)
+3. **`SessionMcpView`** per-session tool+prompt registry projection with trust copy
+4. **Snapshot replay + generation guard** for attach race and stale notifications
+5. **Cross-platform descendant pid sweep** (opencode pattern + Windows port)
+6. **HTTP/SSE opt-in**, SDK MCP bypass, OAuth deferred to F3
+7. **Budget state machine** graduates to workspace scope; snapshot cell + push events extend additively (`scope?`)
+8. **Status + restart routes** refactor: pool-first with bootstrap-session fallback; `entryCount` + `RestartResult[]`
+
+**Open questions Q1–Q10** in §22 need maintainer decisions before respective sub-PRs open. Recommend resolving Q1–Q4 before F2-3 starts (those gate the broad direction); Q5–Q10 can resolve incrementally.

+# Settings File Change Detection (Issue #3696 Sub-task 1)
+
+## Context
+
+Qwen Code currently has no settings file change detection mechanism. Users must restart the session after modifying `settings.json` for changes to take effect. This proposal implements the infrastructure layer for the #3696 hot-reload system — automatic detection and event dispatching for settings file changes.
+
+**Scope**: This sub-task is only responsible for "detect file changes → reload → notify listeners". `Config` copies many settings fields at construction time (`approvalMode`, `mcpServers`, `telemetry`, etc.), and these snapshots are NOT automatically updated by this sub-task. Only consumers that read `LoadedSettings.merged` in real time (e.g., the `useSettings()` hook, `disabledSkillNamesProvider`) will immediately see changes. Other sub-tasks (MCP reconnection, `/reload` command) are responsible for pushing updates to Config's internal state.
+
+## Architecture Decisions
+
+### Module Location: `packages/cli/src/config/settingsWatcher.ts`
+
+- `LoadedSettings` and settings file paths are both in `packages/cli`
+- `reloadScopeFromDisk()` is a method on `LoadedSettings`
+- The core package only receives a minimal lifecycle interface `{ stopWatching(): void }`, without importing CLI types like `SettingScope`
+- Change event dispatching and downstream refresh logic are entirely wired in the CLI layer
+
+### Watching Strategy: Watch Parent Directory + Strict Path Filtering
+
+The `writeWithBackupSync` write flow is `write(.tmp) → rename(target, .orig) → rename(.tmp, target) → unlink(.orig)`, which causes the target file to briefly disappear. Watching the file path directly would cause chokidar to lose the watch. Therefore, we watch the parent directory (`depth: 0`) and filter by **exact basename match**, only responding to `settings.json` file events and ignoring `.tmp`, `.orig`, editor temporary files, etc. The `.orig` backup is an in-flight safety net and is **removed on success** (final `unlink` step), so it never lingers in the user's directory.
+
+### Lazy Directory Handling: Never Create `.qwen/` at Startup
+
+> **Startup filesystem side effect (intentionally avoided).** The watcher must **never** create `/.qwen/` (or `~/.qwen/`) just to be able to watch it. An earlier version called `mkdirSync({ recursive: true })` for any missing settings directory, which meant a normal non-bare startup silently created `/.qwen/` even in projects that never had Qwen settings — polluting the workspace and git status. Directory creation is owned solely by settings _persistence_ (`saveSettings()` does its own `mkdirSync` when the user actually writes settings).
+
+To still detect a `settings.json` added later in the session without creating the directory and without recursing the project tree, the watcher uses a two-stage, per-scope strategy keyed on **directory** existence:
+
+- **`.qwen` exists at startup** → watch it directly (`watchTargetDir`, the strategy above).
+- **`.qwen` missing** → **bootstrap-watch the parent** (`watchParentForDir`): `chokidar.watch(parentDir, { depth: 0, ignoreInitial: true, ignored })` where the `ignored` predicate `(p) => p !== parentDir && basename(p) !== '.qwen'` allows **only** the `.qwen` entry through. This suppresses all unrelated top-level churn and never recurses. Once `.qwen` appears, the watcher **promotes**: it closes the bootstrap watcher and starts a target watcher on `.qwen`, then schedules a refresh to pick up a `settings.json` that may already be inside.
+
+Robustness details:
+
+- **TOCTOU guard**: after arming the bootstrap watcher (which uses `ignoreInitial`), `existsSync(dir)` is re-checked; if `.qwen` was created in the gap, promotion happens immediately.
+- **Demote on removal**: if `.qwen` itself is deleted (`unlinkDir`), the target watcher demotes back to a parent bootstrap watcher so a later re-create is still caught.
+- **Generation guard**: chokidar `close()` is async, so a stale `'all'` callback from a watcher being torn down could otherwise re-trigger promotion and stack watchers. A per-scope monotonic generation token (bumped on every promote/demote, and on `stopWatching`) makes stale callbacks no-ops, guaranteeing at most one active watcher per scope.
+
+### Change Detection: Semantic Diff as the Primary Deduplication Mechanism
+
+Each time the watcher triggers, it first snapshots **the current in-memory state before reload** (`JSON.stringify(file.settings)`), then calls `reloadScopeFromDisk()` to reload, and finally compares the before/after snapshots. Listeners are only notified when the semantic content has actually changed.
+
+Key: the comparison is between the in-memory state **before and after reload**, not against a stored historical snapshot. This is because `setValue()` synchronously updates `file.settings` in memory before writing to disk, so when the watcher triggers a reload, the in-memory state already contains the self-written value — reload produces the same content → no diff → no notification.
+
+This naturally suppresses:
+
+- Duplicate events from self-writes (`setValue()` has already updated memory, reload produces identical content → no diff → no notification)
+- Format/comment-only changes (resolved settings don't include comments)
+- Editor saves without content modification
+- Duplicate chokidar events
+
+Known limitation: `JSON.stringify` is sensitive to key ordering. If a user manually reorders keys in settings.json without changing values, it will trigger one harmless extra notification. This is acceptable; no need to introduce a deep-equal dependency.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### 1. New `SettingsWatcher` Class
+
+**File**: `packages/cli/src/config/settingsWatcher.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export interface SettingsChangeEvent {
+  scope: SettingScope;
+  path: string;
+  changeType: 'modified' | 'created' | 'deleted';
+}
+
+export type SettingsChangeListener = (
+  events: SettingsChangeEvent[],
+) => void | Promise;
+
+export class SettingsWatcher {
+  private readonly settings: LoadedSettings;
+  private readonly watchers: Map = new Map();
+  // 'bootstrap' = watching parent for `.qwen`; 'target' = watching `.qwen`
+  private readonly watchStage: Map =
+    new Map();
+  // Monotonic token per scope; bumped on promote/demote to void stale callbacks
+  private readonly watchGeneration: Map = new Map();
+  private readonly changeListeners: Set = new Set();
+  private refreshTimer: NodeJS.Timeout | null = null;
+  private pendingScopeChanges: Set = new Set();
+  private processing: boolean = false; // serialization guard
+  private started: boolean = false;
+
+  static readonly DEBOUNCE_MS = 300;
+  static readonly LISTENER_TIMEOUT_MS = 30_000;
+}
+```
+
+**Core Methods**:
+
+#### `startWatching()`
+
+- Iterates both User and Workspace scopes
+- Branches on **directory** existence: watch `.qwen` directly if it exists, otherwise bootstrap-watch the parent (see [Lazy Directory Handling](#lazy-directory-handling-never-create-qwen-at-startup))
+- **Never** creates the directory — no `mkdirSync`
+- `ignoreInitial: true`, `depth: 0` throughout
+- Not called in bare mode
+
+```typescript
+startWatching(): void {
+  if (this.started) return;
+  this.started = true;
+
+  for (const { scope, settingsPath } of this.getScopePaths()) {
+    if (!settingsPath) continue;
+    const dir = path.dirname(settingsPath);
+    // Never create the directory; settings persistence (saveSettings) owns that.
+    if (fs.existsSync(dir)) {
+      this.watchTargetDir(scope, settingsPath);
+    } else {
+      this.watchParentForDir(scope, settingsPath);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`watchTargetDir` is the parent-directory + strict-basename watcher described above (it also demotes back to a bootstrap watcher if `.qwen` itself is removed). `watchParentForDir` arms the `.qwen`-only bootstrap watcher and promotes once `.qwen` appears:
+
+```typescript
+private watchParentForDir(scope: SettingScope, settingsPath: string): void {
+  const dir = path.dirname(settingsPath);
+  const parentDir = path.dirname(dir);
+  const dirBasename = path.basename(dir); // ".qwen"
+  const gen = this.bumpGeneration(scope);
+
+  const watcher = watchFs(parentDir, {
+    ignoreInitial: true,
+    depth: 0,
+    ignored: (filePath: string) =>
+      filePath !== parentDir && path.basename(filePath) !== dirBasename,
+  })
+    .on('all', (_event: string, changedPath: string) => {
+      if (this.watchGeneration.get(scope) !== gen) return; // stale callback
+      if (path.basename(changedPath) !== dirBasename) return;
+      void this.promoteScope(scope, settingsPath);
+    })
+    .on('error', (error: unknown) => {
+      debugLogger.warn(`Settings bootstrap watcher error for ${parentDir}:`, error);
+    });
+
+  this.watchers.set(scope, watcher);
+  this.watchStage.set(scope, 'bootstrap');
+
+  // TOCTOU guard: `.qwen` may have appeared between the existence check and here.
+  if (fs.existsSync(dir)) void this.promoteScope(scope, settingsPath);
+}
+
+private async promoteScope(scope: SettingScope, settingsPath: string): Promise {
+  if (this.watchStage.get(scope) !== 'bootstrap') return; // guard double-promote
+  await this.replaceWatcher(scope); // bumps generation + awaits async close()
+  if (!this.started) return;
+  this.watchTargetDir(scope, settingsPath);
+  this.scheduleRefresh(scope); // pick up a settings.json already inside .qwen
+}
+```
+
+#### `stopWatching()` — Idempotent shutdown
+
+```typescript
+stopWatching(): void {
+  if (!this.started) return;
+  this.started = false;
+  for (const [, watcher] of this.watchers) {
+    watcher.close().catch((err) => debugLogger.warn('Watcher close error:', err));
+  }
+  this.watchers.clear();
+  if (this.refreshTimer) {
+    clearTimeout(this.refreshTimer);
+    this.refreshTimer = null;
+  }
+  this.pendingScopeChanges.clear();
+}
+```
+
+#### `scheduleRefresh(scope)` — 300ms debounce + scope accumulation
+
+```typescript
+private scheduleRefresh(scope: SettingScope): void {
+  this.pendingScopeChanges.add(scope);
+  if (this.refreshTimer) clearTimeout(this.refreshTimer);
+  this.refreshTimer = setTimeout(() => {
+    this.refreshTimer = null;
+    void this.drainPendingChanges();
+  }, SettingsWatcher.DEBOUNCE_MS);
+}
+```
+
+#### `drainPendingChanges()` — Serialized processing to prevent re-entrancy
+
+```typescript
+private async drainPendingChanges(): Promise {
+  if (this.processing) return; // previous round still running; it will drain on exit
+  this.processing = true;
+  try {
+    while (this.pendingScopeChanges.size > 0) {
+      const scopes = new Set(this.pendingScopeChanges);
+      this.pendingScopeChanges.clear();
+      await this.handleChange(scopes);
+    }
+  } finally {
+    this.processing = false;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### `handleChange(scopes)` — Reload + semantic diff + notification
+
+```typescript
+private async handleChange(changedScopes: Set): Promise {
+  const events: SettingsChangeEvent[] = [];
+
+  for (const scope of changedScopes) {
+    const file = this.settings.forScope(scope);
+
+    // Snapshot the current in-memory state before reload (includes setValue() mutations)
+    const beforeSettings = JSON.stringify(file.settings);
+    const existedBefore = file.rawJson !== undefined;
+
+    // reloadScopeFromDisk has internal try/catch; on parse failure it preserves old state
+    this.settings.reloadScopeFromDisk(scope);
+
+    const afterSettings = JSON.stringify(file.settings);
+    const existsNow = file.rawJson !== undefined;
+
+    // Semantic diff: only notify when content actually changed
+    // Self-write suppression: setValue() already updated memory → reload matches → no notification
+    if (afterSettings === beforeSettings) continue;
+
+    events.push({
+      scope,
+      path: file.path,
+      changeType: !existedBefore && existsNow ? 'created'
+                : existedBefore && !existsNow ? 'deleted'
+                : 'modified',
+    });
+  }
+
+  if (events.length > 0) {
+    await this.notifyListeners(events);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### `notifyListeners(events)` — `Promise.allSettled()` + 30s timeout
+
+Reuses the SkillManager listener notification pattern (`packages/core/src/skills/skill-manager.ts:188-236`): each listener is wrapped in a 30s timeout race, executed in parallel via `Promise.allSettled`, failures don't propagate.
+
+#### `addChangeListener(listener)` — Returns an unsubscribe function
+
+### 2. Modifications to `LoadedSettings`
+
+**File**: `packages/cli/src/config/settings.ts`
+
+**No modifications needed**. The semantic diff mechanism is entirely self-contained within the watcher. `setValue()` synchronously updates memory → `saveSettings()` writes to disk → watcher triggers → `reloadScopeFromDisk()` reloads → diff comparison finds identical content → no notification. The chain closes naturally.
+
+### 3. Config Integration (Minimal Interface)
+
+**File**: `packages/core/src/config/config.ts`
+
+Add to `ConfigParameters`:
+
+```typescript
+/** Lifecycle handle for an external file watcher. Stopped during shutdown. */
+settingsWatcher?: { stopWatching(): void };
+```
+
+In `Config.shutdown()`, stop the watcher **before** the `initialized` check:
+
+```typescript
+async shutdown(): Promise {
+  try {
+    // Stop the external watcher regardless of initialization state
+    this.settingsWatcher?.stopWatching();
+
+    if (!this.initialized) return;
+    // ... remaining cleanup logic ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**No settingsChangeListeners are added to Config**. Change event dispatching is handled entirely in the CLI layer, where listeners directly call core refresh methods (e.g., `skillManager.refreshCache()`, `toolRegistry.restartMcpServers()`). This keeps core unaware of settings change semantics.
+
+### 4. Startup Wiring
+
+**File**: `packages/cli/src/gemini.tsx`
+
+After `loadSettings()` and `loadCliConfig()`:
+
+```typescript
+// Create watcher (skip in bare mode)
+const settingsWatcher = isBareMode(argv.bare) ? undefined : new SettingsWatcher(settings);
+settingsWatcher?.startWatching();
+
+// Pass watcher lifecycle handle when loading CLI config
+const config = await loadCliConfig(settings.merged, argv, ..., {
+  settingsWatcher,
+});
+
+// Register change listener (future sub-tasks will add actual refresh logic here)
+settingsWatcher?.addChangeListener(async (events) => {
+  debugLogger.info('Settings changed:', events.map(e => `${e.scope}:${e.changeType}`));
+  // Sub-tasks 2-6 will add:
+  // - skillManager.refreshCache()
+  // - toolRegistry.restartMcpServers()
+  // - clearAllCaches()
+  // - needsRefresh flag
+});
+```
+
+**`loadCliConfig` signature change** (`packages/cli/src/config/config.ts`): Add an optional parameter to pass `settingsWatcher` to `ConfigParameters`.
+

+
+## Performance Analysis
+
+- At most 1 watcher per scope (≤ 2 total), each at `depth: 0` — minimal file descriptor overhead; promote/demote swap watchers, never stack them
+- `depth: 0` means **no recursive walk** of the project tree, even for the parent bootstrap watcher in a large monorepo. Cost is bounded to the parent dir's direct children: unrelated top-level churn wakes chokidar for one `readdir` + `ignored` filter pass (`O(top-level entries)`) before the event is suppressed — never a recursive scan
+- 300ms debounce ensures rapid editor saves don't trigger multiple reloads
+- `reloadScopeFromDisk` uses synchronous `readFileSync`, < 1ms per call
+- `JSON.stringify` comparison is O(n) but settings objects are typically < 10KB; no additional snapshot storage needed
+- Listener notification runs in parallel via `Promise.allSettled`
+- No polling — purely event-driven
+
+## Files to Create/Modify
+
+**New files**:
+
+- `packages/cli/src/config/settingsWatcher.ts` — watcher class
+- `packages/cli/src/config/settingsWatcher.test.ts` — unit tests
+
+**Modified files**:
+
+- `packages/core/src/config/config.ts` — add `settingsWatcher` field to `ConfigParameters`, call `stopWatching()` before `initialized` check in `Config.shutdown()`
+- `packages/cli/src/config/config.ts` (`loadCliConfig`) — add optional parameter to pass `settingsWatcher`
+- `packages/cli/src/gemini.tsx` — instantiate watcher + wiring
+
+**No modifications needed**: `packages/cli/src/config/settings.ts` (semantic diff is self-contained and requires no cooperation from `LoadedSettings`)
+
+## Test Plan
+
+### Unit Tests (`settingsWatcher.test.ts`)
+
+Mock chokidar (reusing the `skill-manager.test.ts` mock pattern):
+
+1. **Lifecycle**: `startWatching` creates watchers, `stopWatching` closes watchers, both are idempotent
+2. **Path filtering**: Only `settings.json` basename events trigger refresh; `.tmp`/`.orig`/other files are ignored
+3. **Debouncing**: Multiple rapid events coalesce into one reload (`vi.useFakeTimers()`)
+4. **Semantic diff**: Unchanged content → listener not called; changed content → listener called with correct events
+5. **Self-write suppression**: `setValue()`-triggered watcher events are naturally filtered by identical diff
+6. **Serialization**: New events during `handleChange` are accumulated, drained after processing completes
+7. **Error isolation**: chokidar errors don't crash; listener exceptions don't affect other listeners; `reloadScopeFromDisk` failures are caught
+8. **Listener timeout**: 30s timeout protection
+9. **Lazy directory watching**: when `.qwen` is missing, `mkdirSync` is never called; a bootstrap watcher is armed on the parent and its `ignored` predicate allows only the `.qwen` entry
+10. **Promote / TOCTOU**: `.qwen` appearing (via `addDir` or the post-arm re-check) closes the bootstrap watcher and opens a target watcher on `.qwen` + schedules a refresh
+11. **Demote / re-create**: removing `.qwen` (`unlinkDir`) re-bootstraps on the parent; a subsequent re-create promotes again
+12. **Generation guard**: a stale callback from an already-closed bootstrap watcher does not create a second target watcher
+

+
+## Follow-up Sub-task: Suppress Events for Restart-Required & Sensitive Settings
+
+> **Status: suppression gate implemented; two schema flips still pending
+> research.** Sub-task 1 above emitted a single `SettingsChangeEvent` per scope
+> for _any_ semantic change. This follow-up adds a filter so that changes
+> confined to settings that cannot truly take effect without a restart — or that
+> are sensitive (credentials) — do **not** notify listeners.
+>
+> - **Done:** the `requiresRestart`-based suppression gate in
+>   `SettingsWatcher.handleChange()` plus unit tests (see Mechanism below).
+> - **Pending:** the two `requiresRestart` schema corrections
+>   (`modelProviders` → `true`, `permissions.*` → keep hot-reloadable), each
+>   gated on verifying the runtime read path first.
+
+### Motivation
+
+Some settings are read exactly once during process startup (`Config.initialize()`,
+content-generator/client construction, child-process spawning, Node runtime
+flags). Examples the user explicitly called out: **API tokens, `env`, and model
+providers**. Emitting a hot-reload event for these is actively misleading — the
+listener would "refresh" but the new value would not actually apply until the
+user restarts `qwen-code`. Sensitive values (credentials) additionally should
+not be re-plumbed through a running session.
+
+### Decision: Reuse the schema's `requiresRestart` flag (single source of truth)
+
+`settingsSchema.ts` already declares `requiresRestart: boolean` on **every** key,
+and `packages/cli/src/utils/settingsUtils.ts` already exposes the lookups:
+
+- `requiresRestart(key: string): boolean` — flag for a dot-path key
+- `getFlattenedSchema()` — full flattened `key → definition` map
+- `getRestartRequiredSettings()` — all keys with `requiresRestart: true`
+
+We will **reuse this flag as the suppression signal** rather than maintaining a
+separate hand-curated denylist (which would inevitably drift from the schema).
+`requiresRestart: true` already means precisely "won't take effect without a
+restart", which is exactly the condition under which an event should be
+suppressed.
+
+### Mechanism (implemented in `SettingsWatcher.handleChange()`)
+
+The old gate did a whole-file `JSON.stringify` diff and could not say _which_
+keys changed. It is replaced by a leaf-level diff + per-key classification:
+
+1. **`collectChangedKeys(before, after)`** snapshots the in-memory state before
+   reload (`structuredClone`), then walks before/after and collects the dot-path
+   of every leaf whose value differs. Plain objects are recursed; arrays and
+   primitives are compared whole (matching schema array keys like
+   `permissions.allow`). Added/removed keys surface as changed leaves, so
+   file creation/deletion is covered without a separate existence check.
+2. **`isRestartRequiredKey(path)`** resolves each changed path against the
+   schema using the **longest schema key that is a prefix of (or equal to)** the
+   path. Free-form object settings (`env`, `modelProviders`) are leaf schema
+   keys, so `env.FOO` resolves to the `env` definition. Unknown keys default to
+   **not** restart-required, so a change we cannot classify is never silently
+   suppressed.
+3. The scope notifies **only if at least one changed key is hot-reloadable**
+   (`!isRestartRequiredKey`). If every changed key is restart-required, the
+   scope produces no event.
+
+`SettingsChangeEvent`'s shape is unchanged (still `{ scope, path, changeType }`);
+carrying the surviving changed keys on the event is left as a possible later
+enhancement. Self-write suppression (empty diff → no event), debounce,
+serialization, and listener-timeout behavior are all unchanged.
+
+### Two schema adjustments to research & apply
+
+These two `requiresRestart` values must be corrected for the reuse approach to
+behave as intended. **Each requires verifying the actual runtime read path
+before flipping the flag.**
+
+1. **`modelProviders`: `false` → `true`** (`settingsSchema.ts:294`)
+   - Today it is marked `requiresRestart: false`, so under the reuse approach it
+     would _not_ be suppressed — contradicting the requirement that provider
+     changes not hot-reload.
+   - Provider configuration (including per-provider `apiKey` / `baseUrl`) is
+     consumed when the model client / content generator is built during startup.
+   - **Research item:** confirm there is no runtime re-read of `modelProviders`
+     (search content-generator / client construction). Expected outcome: the
+     `false` is a latent bug; flip to `true`.
+
+2. **`permissions.*`: keep hot-reloadable** (`settingsSchema.ts:1560`, whole
+   subtree currently `requiresRestart: true`)
+   - Permission rules (`deny > ask > allow`) are evaluated per tool call and are
+     intended to be the settings users most want to take effect immediately.
+   - The whole `permissions` subtree is `showInDialog: false`, so its
+     `requiresRestart` flag currently has **no UI meaning** — strong hint the
+     `true` was a default rather than a deliberate "needs restart" decision, so
+     the blast radius of flipping it is low.
+   - **Research item:** confirm the runtime re-reads permissions live (e.g. via
+     `config.getXxx()` at evaluation time) rather than from a startup snapshot.
+     If confirmed, set the `permissions` subtree to `requiresRestart: false` so
+     it is **not** suppressed by the reuse mechanism.
+
+> Note: because `requiresRestart` is also surfaced in the settings UI / restart
+> prompts, flipping these flags changes that behavior too. That is acceptable
+> and arguably more correct, but should be called out in the PR description.
+
+### Acceptance
+
+- A change touching only restart-required/sensitive keys (`security.auth.*`,
+  `env`, `modelProviders`, `mcpServers`, `proxy`, …) emits **no**
+  `SettingsChangeEvent`.
+- A change to a hot-reloadable key (`ui.*`, `model.name`, `permissions.*` once
+  flipped, …) still emits an event.
+- A mixed change (one restart-required key + one hot-reloadable key) still emits
+  an event (the hot-reloadable part legitimately needs to refresh).
+- An unknown (non-schema) key change still emits, rather than being silently
+  suppressed.
+
+Test status:
+
+- **Done** — `settingsWatcher.test.ts` `restart-required suppression` block
+  covers all-suppressed (`env`, `security.auth.apiKey`), all-allowed
+  (`ui.theme`), mixed, and unknown-key cases.
+- **Pending (with the schema flips)** — `settingsSchema.test.ts` assertions
+  pinning the two corrected `requiresRestart` values, and a watcher test
+  asserting `permissions.*` is no longer suppressed once flipped.

+# Issue #4479 token usage stats coordination
+
+## Context
+
+Issue #4479 asks for daily Qwen Code token-consumption visibility. The scope was
+clarified in the issue thread to prefer a CLI command, export support, monthly
+summaries, and per-model token consumption. A maintainer comment also called out
+coordination with adjacent statistics work:
+
+- #4252: generation timing metrics in `/stats` such as TTFT, generation duration,
+  and TPS.
+- #4182: content-free session-scale counters for memory diagnostics.
+
+## Coordination decisions
+
+1. **Use `/stats`, not a new top-level command.**
+   Token usage is exposed as `/stats daily`, `/stats monthly`, and
+   `/stats export` so it shares the existing statistics command surface with
+   session stats and future generation metrics.
+
+2. **Persist token counters as local JSONL.**
+   Each API response appends one content-free record to
+   `usage/token-usage-YYYY-MM.jsonl` under the runtime directory. This satisfies
+   daily/monthly aggregation without adding SQLite as a new dependency.
+
+3. **Keep #4252 timing semantics separate.**
+   Token usage summaries may include `apiDurationMs`, which is the existing
+   end-to-end API response duration from telemetry. It is deliberately named as
+   API duration and must not be presented as generation duration, TTFT, or TPS.
+   #4252 remains the owner for generation timing metrics.
+
+4. **Keep #4182 privacy and memory-diagnostic boundaries.**
+   Usage records store aggregate counters and stable dimensions only: local date,
+   month, session id, model, auth type, source, token counters, and API duration.
+   They do not store prompt text, response text, tool content, project paths,
+   prompt ids, or response ids.
+
+5. **Export remains aggregate-only.**
+   CSV and JSON exports are summaries, not raw transcript exports. They group by
+   total, model, auth type, model/auth type, and source.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not implement #4252's TTFT/TPS/generation-duration instrumentation here.
+- Do not extend `/doctor memory` or implement #4182 in this change.
+- Do not add a separate token-usage top-level slash command.

+# Session Idle Reaper — Design Document
+
+**Status:** Draft  
+**Author:** qinqi  
+**Date:** 2026-06-08  
+**Scope:** `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts`, `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts`
+
+---
+
+## 1. Problem Statement
+
+### 1.1 Current behavior
+
+Once created, a bridge session lives in memory (`byId: Map`)
+indefinitely. It is only destroyed when:
+
+1. A client explicitly calls `DELETE /session/:id` (`closeSession`)
+2. The shared `qwen --acp` child process crashes (`channel.exited` handler)
+3. The daemon process receives `SIGTERM` / `SIGINT` (`shutdown`)
+
+There is **no automatic idle timeout** for sessions. The heartbeat timestamps
+(`sessionLastSeenAt`, `clientLastSeenAt`) are recorded by `recordHeartbeat` but
+never consumed for eviction purposes (the field comment references a future
+"revocation policy (PR 24)" that has not landed).
+
+### 1.2 Impact
+
+| Scenario                                                                        | Symptom                                                                         |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| User opens multiple browser tabs, closes them without calling `DELETE /session` | Sessions accumulate in `byId`, each holding an EventBus ring (~2-4 MB)          |
+| 20 sessions (default `maxSessions`) accumulate                                  | `SessionLimitExceededError` on new `spawnOrAttach` — user locked out            |
+| Long-lived daemon with tab churn                                                | Unbounded memory growth in the EventBus replay rings and ACP-side session state |
+| IDE extension restarts / crashes                                                | Orphaned sessions never cleaned up                                              |
+
+### 1.3 Why now
+
+The daemon is increasingly used as a long-running workspace server (desktop app,
+IDE extensions, web UI). Client crashes and network blips are normal — relying on
+explicit `DELETE` for cleanup is untenable.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Design Goals
+
+1. **Automatically reclaim idle sessions** whose clients are gone and that have
+   no active work in progress.
+2. **Never destroy a session that has an active prompt** — doing so would
+   silently kill user-visible work.
+3. **Preserve persisted session data** — only in-memory bridge state is released;
+   disk transcripts (`SessionService`) are untouched. Users can `session/load` or
+   `session/resume` to restore.
+4. **Observable** — emit a distinct SSE event so clients know WHY the session
+   closed (idle timeout vs. explicit close vs. crash).
+5. **Configurable** — operators and tests can tune timeouts or disable the
+   reaper entirely.
+6. **Zero new dependencies / components** — implement entirely within the
+   existing bridge closure.
+
+### Non-goals
+
+- Cross-workspace session management (that would be a gateway concern).
+- LRU eviction at `maxSessions` boundary (valuable but separate work — tracked
+  as a follow-up).
+- EventBus ring compaction for idle sessions (low priority given the 20-session
+  cap; tracked as a follow-up).
+- RSS-based adaptive pressure (requires `process.memoryUsage()` polling and
+  policy design; tracked as a follow-up).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Architecture
+
+### 3.1 Overview
+
+```
+Bridge closure (createHttpAcpBridge)
+│
+├─ byId: Map     ← existing
+├─ channelInfo: ChannelInfo               ← existing
+├─ idleTimer (channel-level)              ← existing
+│
+└─ sessionReaper: NodeJS.Timeout          ← NEW
+     │
+     ├─ scans byId every REAP_INTERVAL_MS
+     ├─ skips sessions with active prompt
+     ├─ skips sessions with live SSE subscribers
+     ├─ closes sessions exceeding idle TTL
+     └─ emits session_closed { reason: 'idle_timeout' }
+```
+
+### 3.2 Relationship to existing mechanisms
+
+| Mechanism                                 | Scope                     | What it manages                                                                  |
+| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `channelIdleTimeoutMs` + `startIdleTimer` | Channel (child process)   | Kills the `qwen --acp` child when ALL sessions are gone                          |
+| **Session reaper** (this design)          | Session (in-memory entry) | Closes individual sessions when idle                                             |
+| `ConnectionRegistry` sweep                | ACP-over-HTTP connection  | Reaps `/acp` transport-layer connections (different layer)                       |
+| `writerIdleTimeoutMs`                     | SSE subscriber            | Evicts a single stuck SSE subscriber                                             |
+| Disconnect reaper (server.ts)             | Spawn handshake           | Reaps sessions whose spawn-owner disconnected DURING the POST /session handshake |
+
+Two mechanisms work together to cover session lifecycle cleanup:
+
+1. **Close-on-last-detach** (primary) — when `detachClient` removes the last
+   registered client AND no SSE subscribers remain, the session is closed
+   immediately via `closeSessionImpl`. This handles the normal path: user
+   closes a tab → React cleanup → `POST /session/:id/detach`.
+
+2. **Session idle reaper** (backstop) — periodic scan for sessions with no
+   active prompt and no SSE subscribers that haven't received a heartbeat
+   within the configured TTL. This catches the crash path: browser killed,
+   network dropped, `kill -9` — the detach request was never sent, so
+   `clientIds` still shows registered clients but the session is effectively
+   orphaned.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Detailed Design
+
+### 4.1 New configuration options (`BridgeOptions`)
+
+```typescript
+interface BridgeOptions {
+  // ... existing fields ...
+
+  /**
+   * How often the session reaper scans `byId` for idle sessions, in
+   * milliseconds. Default: 60_000 (1 minute). Set to 0 or Infinity to
+   * disable the reaper entirely. The timer is `.unref()`'d.
+   */
+  sessionReapIntervalMs?: number;
+
+  /**
+   * A session with ZERO live SSE subscribers AND ZERO registered clients
+   * that has not received a heartbeat for this many milliseconds is
+   * considered idle and will be reaped.
+   *
+   * Default: 30 * 60_000 (30 minutes).
+   * Set to 0 or Infinity to disable idle reaping.
+   */
+  sessionIdleTimeoutMs?: number;
+}
+```
+
+**CLI surface** (`qwen serve` flags):
+
+```
+--session-reap-interval-ms    Reaper scan interval (default 60000, 0=disable)
+--session-idle-timeout-ms     Idle threshold (default 1800000, 0=disable)
+```
+
+### 4.2 Session idle predicate
+
+A session is eligible for reaping when **all** of the following hold:
+
+1. **No active prompt**: `entry.promptActive === false`
+2. **No live SSE subscribers**: `entry.events.subscriberCount === 0`
+3. **Idle duration exceeded**: `now - lastActivity(entry) > sessionIdleTimeoutMs`
+
+Note: the reaper intentionally does NOT check `clientIds.size`. It covers
+the crash path where detach was never sent — `clientIds` still shows
+registered clients but the session is effectively orphaned. The normal
+path (client sends detach) is handled by close-on-last-detach instead.
+
+Where `lastActivity(entry)` is defined as:
+
+```typescript
+function lastActivity(entry: SessionEntry): number {
+  // `sessionLastSeenAt` is epoch-ms (from Date.now());
+  // `createdAt` is an ISO 8601 string — parse to epoch-ms as fallback.
+  return entry.sessionLastSeenAt ?? Date.parse(entry.createdAt);
+}
+```
+
+Note: `entry.createdAt` is typed as `string` (ISO 8601), not a number.
+`Date.parse` is safe here — the format is always `new Date().toISOString()`
+(see `createSessionEntry`, bridge.ts:1883).
+
+**Rationale for each guard:**
+
+| Guard              | Why                                                                                                                         |
+| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| No active prompt   | A headless / autonomous prompt (e.g. CLI pipe, cron job) may be running with no SSE subscriber. Reaping it would kill work. |
+| No SSE subscribers | A connected client is actively listening. Even if it hasn't sent a heartbeat, the SSE connection itself proves liveness.    |
+| Idle duration      | Grace period so briefly-disconnected clients can reconnect without losing their session.                                    |
+
+### 4.3 Reap action
+
+For each session that passes the idle predicate, the reaper calls:
+
+```typescript
+await closeSession(sessionId, { reason: 'idle_timeout' });
+```
+
+This reuses the existing `closeSession` path which:
+
+1. Removes from `byId` / `defaultEntry`
+2. Cancels pending permissions via `permissionMediator.forgetSession`
+3. Publishes `session_closed` event (with `reason: 'idle_timeout'`)
+4. Closes the EventBus
+5. Sends `connection.cancel()` to the ACP child (best-effort)
+6. Triggers `startIdleTimer` on the channel if it was the last session
+
+**Why `closeSession` and not `killSession`?**
+
+`killSession` is the internal force-reap path designed for the spawn-handshake
+disconnect race (`requireZeroAttaches` guard, `spawnOwnerWantedKill` tombstone).
+`closeSession` is the documented client-facing path that publishes
+`session_closed` (not `session_died`) and handles telemetry correctly. The reaper
+is a "graceful close on behalf of an absent client", so `closeSession` is the
+right semantic.
+
+### 4.4 Extending `closeSession` to accept a close reason
+
+Currently `closeSession` hardcodes `reason: 'client_close'` in the
+`session_closed` event. We need to make this parameterizable.
+
+**Approach:** Add a new optional `opts` parameter to `closeSession` rather than
+overloading `BridgeClientRequestContext` (which is a client-request-scoped
+type — adding `reason` to it would be a layer violation since "reason" is a
+server-side decision, not something a client passes in a header).
+
+```typescript
+// bridgeTypes.ts — new type + signature change:
+export interface CloseSessionOpts {
+  /** Override the default 'client_close' reason in the session_closed event. */
+  reason?: string;
+}
+
+closeSession(
+  sessionId: string,
+  context?: BridgeClientRequestContext,
+  opts?: CloseSessionOpts,
+): Promise;
+```
+
+```typescript
+// bridge.ts — implementation change:
+async closeSession(sessionId, context, opts) {
+  // ...
+  const reason = opts?.reason ?? 'client_close';
+  entry.events.publish({
+    type: 'session_closed',
+    data: { sessionId, reason, ... },
+  });
+}
+```
+
+Existing callers (`DELETE /session/:id` route) pass no `opts`, defaulting to
+`'client_close'`. The reaper passes `{ reason: 'idle_timeout' }`.
+
+### 4.5 Reaper lifecycle
+
+```typescript
+// Inside createHttpAcpBridge closure:
+
+const resolvedReapIntervalMs = resolvePositiveMs(
+  opts.sessionReapIntervalMs,
+  60_000,
+);
+const resolvedIdleTimeoutMs = resolvePositiveMs(
+  opts.sessionIdleTimeoutMs,
+  30 * 60_000,
+);
+
+let sessionReaper: ReturnType | undefined;
+
+function startSessionReaper(): void {
+  if (resolvedReapIntervalMs <= 0 || resolvedIdleTimeoutMs <= 0) return;
+  sessionReaper = setInterval(() => {
+    if (shuttingDown) return;
+    const now = Date.now();
+    for (const [id, entry] of byId) {
+      if (entry.promptActive) continue;
+      if (entry.events.subscriberCount > 0) continue;
+      const lastActive = entry.sessionLastSeenAt ?? Date.parse(entry.createdAt);
+      const idle = now - lastActive;
+      if (idle < resolvedIdleTimeoutMs) continue;
+      writeStderrLine(
+        `qwen serve: reaping idle session ${JSON.stringify(id)} ` +
+          `(idle for ${Math.round(idle / 1000)}s, threshold ${Math.round(resolvedIdleTimeoutMs / 1000)}s)`,
+      );
+      // Pass `undefined` context (no client) and `{ reason }` opts.
+      bridgeImpl
+        .closeSession(id, undefined, { reason: 'idle_timeout' })
+        .catch((err) => {
+          writeStderrLine(
+            `qwen serve: session reaper failed to close ${JSON.stringify(id)}: ${String(err)}`,
+          );
+        });
+    }
+  }, resolvedReapIntervalMs);
+  sessionReaper.unref();
+}
+
+function stopSessionReaper(): void {
+  if (sessionReaper !== undefined) {
+    clearInterval(sessionReaper);
+    sessionReaper = undefined;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Note: `bridgeImpl` refers to the bridge object returned by `createHttpAcpBridge`
+so `closeSession` has full access to the closure-scoped state. In practice, this
+is implemented as a direct call to the closure-internal `closeSessionImpl`
+function.
+
+**Lifecycle integration:**
+
+- `startSessionReaper()` is called at bridge construction time (after
+  option validation, alongside the existing `channelIdleTimeoutMs` setup).
+- `stopSessionReaper()` is called in both `shutdown()` and `killAllSync()`.
+
+### 4.6 Interaction with existing `closeSession` callers
+
+| Caller                       | Impact                                                             |
+| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `DELETE /session/:id` route  | None — no `opts` passed, defaults to `reason: 'client_close'`      |
+| Session reaper (this design) | Passes `opts: { reason: 'idle_timeout' }`                          |
+| `detachClient` deferred reap | Calls `killSession` (not `closeSession`), unaffected               |
+| `channel.exited` handler     | Publishes `session_died`, unaffected                               |
+| `shutdown()`                 | Publishes `session_died` with reason `daemon_shutdown`, unaffected |
+
+### 4.7 Concurrency safety
+
+The reaper callback runs on the Node.js event loop. Key considerations:
+
+- **`for...of` iteration is synchronous.** The reaper evaluates each entry's
+  idle predicate synchronously, then fires `closeSession(...).catch(...)` for
+  matching entries. No `await` in the loop body — all closes are dispatched
+  in a single microtask boundary, then the loop exits.
+- **`byId.delete` is deferred.** Inside `closeSession`, `byId.delete` runs
+  AFTER the first `await` (`notifyAgentSessionClose`). This means deletions
+  happen in microtasks after the `for...of` loop has completed. Since each
+  `closeSession` operates on a distinct key, there is no aliasing. And `for...of`
+  has already finished iterating, so mid-iteration deletion is not a concern.
+- **Double-close race.** If a client calls `DELETE /session/:id` for the same
+  session between the reaper's predicate check and the async `closeSession`
+  execution, the reaper's `closeSession` will throw `SessionNotFoundError`
+  (caught by `.catch()`). Safe.
+- **Reconnect race.** If a client reconnects to a session (registers clientId /
+  opens SSE) between the reaper's predicate check and `closeSession` execution,
+  `closeSession` will still proceed and close the session. The client receives
+  `session_closed` and must re-load. This window is extremely narrow (one
+  synchronous `setInterval` tick) and the consequence is benign — no data loss,
+  just a re-load prompt. The 30-minute default TTL makes this vanishingly rare.
+- A concurrent `spawnOrAttach` that creates a new session while the reaper
+  is scanning won't be seen (we iterate `byId` entries at the start of each
+  tick). This is safe — new sessions are fresh and won't meet the idle threshold.
+
+### 4.8 Wire-format change
+
+The `session_closed` event's `data.reason` field already exists with value
+`'client_close'`. We add two new values:
+
+- `'idle_timeout'` — emitted by the idle reaper (backstop for crashed clients)
+- `'last_client_detached'` — emitted by close-on-last-detach (normal tab close)
+
+This is backward-compatible — existing SDK code that checks
+`reason === 'client_close'` will simply not match the new values, and the
+generic terminal-frame handler (`isTerminalLifecycleEvent`) already handles
+`session_closed` regardless of reason.

+
+### Daemon access path
+
+The daemon route is non-strict-gated (mirrors `/session/:id/prompt`'s
+posture — recap costs tokens but mutates no state). Capability tag
+`session_recap` advertises the route on `/capabilities.features`. SDK
+helpers: `DaemonClient.recapSession(sessionId, opts)` and
+`DaemonSessionClient.recap(opts)`. See
+`docs/developers/qwen-serve-protocol.md` § `POST /session/:id/recap`
+for the wire contract and error envelope.
+
+Cancellation is **absent in v1**. The route does not listen for HTTP
+client disconnect, no `AbortSignal` is threaded into
+`bridge.generateSessionRecap`, and the ACP child handler passes a
+never-aborting `AbortController().signal` to the core helper (no
+cross-process abort plumbing yet). The only ceilings are the bridge's
+60s `SESSION_RECAP_TIMEOUT_MS` backstop and the transport-closed race
+against ACP channel death. Wiring an HTTP-side AbortController in
+isolation would be cosmetic — the child-side LLM call would still run
+to completion, so e2e cancel is not achievable without the cross-
+process abort piece. This is acceptable for v1 because recap is short
+(single-attempt side-query, `maxOutputTokens: 300`, ~1–5s typical).
+A future request-id-based cancel ext-method can plumb full end-to-end
+cancellation if/when the bandwidth cost justifies it.

+# Subagent Trace Tree Design (P3 Phase 3)
+
+> Issue #3731 — Phase 3 of hierarchical session tracing. Adds a `qwen-code.subagent` span so subagent invocations get isolated, queryable trace structure instead of interleaving silently under the parent `qwen-code.interaction` span.
+>
+> Builds on Phase 1 (#4126), Phase 1.5 (#4302), and Phase 2 (#4321).
+
+## Problem
+
+Today every `AgentTool.execute` invocation runs under the parent's `qwen-code.interaction` span. Three pathologies:
+
+1. **Concurrent subagents interleave.** `coreToolScheduler.ts:728` marks `AGENT` as concurrency-safe — `Promise.all` runs up to 10 subagents in parallel. Their LLM-request / tool / hook spans all attach to the single shared parent interaction span, so trace explorers cannot distinguish "this LLM request belongs to subagent A" from "this one belongs to subagent B".
+2. **No span for the subagent boundary itself.** There's a `qwen-code.subagent_execution` LogRecord (emitted from `agent-headless.ts:268,329`) bridged to a span of the same name via `LogToSpanProcessor`, but it's a stand-alone marker, not a parent that nests the subagent's LLM / tool / hook spans underneath.
+3. **Fork / background subagents float free.** Fire-and-forget paths (`runInForkContext` / background) outlive the parent `AgentTool.execute` and emit spans across multiple subsequent user turns. The parent tool span is already ended by the time those spans appear, so OTel's `context.active()` doesn't help — they attach to whichever interaction happened to be active at firing time, or none at all.

+- **Token usage aggregation per subagent** (`gen_ai.usage.*` summed across all LLM spans inside a subagent). Belongs in Phase 4 (LLM request decomposition).
+- **Migrating the `qwen-code.subagent_execution` LogRecord onto the new span as span events.** RUM and metrics are tightly coupled to the LogRecord; deferred to a follow-up that can renegotiate all 3 consumers together.
+- **Auto-cost rollup.** Same reason — needs token usage first.
+- **Removing the AGENT-tool `concurrent: true` marker.** Concurrency is correct; we instrument it, we don't constrain it.

+
+## Design — six decisions, each justified
+
+### D1 — Span lifecycle: caller opens, callee runs inside `context.with(span, fn)`
+
+`agent.ts` (caller) constructs the span. The body — whether awaited (`runFramed`) or fire-and-forget (`runInForkContext` / background) — runs inside `runInSubagentSpanContext(span, fn)`, which calls `otelContext.with(trace.setSpan(active, span), fn)`.
+
+**Where exactly in `AgentTool.execute` does the span open?** Open it **right BEFORE the invocation-kind-specific setup** (`createAgentHeadless` / `createForkSubagent` etc.) — so setup time (config build, ToolRegistry rebuild, ContextOverride wiring) IS included in `qwen-code.subagent` duration. Operators tracking "why is this subagent slow?" see the full picture. Setup typically << LLM time, so this is noise-free.
+
+Alternative considered: open after setup, exclude setup time. Rejected because subagent's setup is itself work attributable to the subagent — hiding it makes total-duration math wrong when summing all subagent spans.
+
+**Why not callee-only**: by the time fork / background body actually runs, the caller has already returned. OTel `context.active()` then returns whatever ambient context the async runtime carries — which for `void` fire-and-forget after the parent ends is unreliable. The parent span has already been closed; reparenting after-the-fact is wrong.
+
+**Why not caller-only**: foreground works fine that way, but fork / background spans must continue emitting child spans (LLM / tool / hook) after `AgentTool.execute` returns. Those child spans need `context.active()` to return the subagent span — which only happens if the body explicitly runs inside `context.with(subagentSpan, body)`.
+
+Both ends are needed. **The design is the bridge** — caller creates span + invocationKind-aware traceId strategy, then hands off via `runInSubagentSpanContext`.
+
+### D2 — Hybrid traceId: foreground = child span, fork/background = new traceId + Link
+
+| Invocation kind | Parent                      | TraceId                 | Why                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| --------------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `foreground`    | child of caller's tool span | inherits parent traceId | OTel default; caller fully encloses callee temporally                                                                                                                        |
+| `fork`          | linked root span            | new traceId             | Caller returns immediately; fork runs across multiple subsequent interactions. OTel spec verbatim recommends Link for this. Avoids inflating parent trace's duration / size. |
+| `background`    | linked root span            | new traceId             | Same reasoning as fork.                                                                                                                                                      |
+
+**Link payload**:
+
+```ts
+tracer.startSpan(
+  'qwen-code.subagent',
+  {
+    kind: SpanKind.INTERNAL,
+    links: [
+      {
+        context: invokerSpanContext,
+        attributes: { 'qwen-code.link.kind': 'invoker' },
+      },
+    ],
+  } /* explicit context = root, not inheriting active */,
+);
+```
+
+Cross-trace queryability via session id: `gen_ai.conversation.id` is set on every subagent span (foreground and linked-root alike), so an ARMS query by `session.id` returns both the parent interaction's trace AND the linked-root subagent traces. The Link itself shows up in the parent trace's UI as "Spawned: subagent X (other trace)" so navigation works.
+
+**Why not always-child**: 4-hour background subagent inflates the parent trace's wall-clock duration to 4 hours; trace size grows past several backends' caps (LangSmith's 25,000-run limit is the clearest documented bound). Foreground subagents that the user is actually waiting for don't have this problem because they're temporally enclosed.
+
+**Why not always-linked-root**: foreground breaks the natural trace tree. A user prompt that runs a synchronous Explore subagent SHOULD show one tree, not two linked traces.
+
+### D3 — TTL: type-aware, subagent fork/background = 4h, others = 30min
+
+`session-tracing.ts:124` defines `SPAN_TTL_MS = 30 * 60 * 1000`. The sweep at `:144-152` already special-cases `tool.blocked_on_user` to stamp `decision: 'aborted' + source: 'system'`. It's already type-aware in spirit.
+
+**Change**: introduce per-type TTL:
+
+```ts
+const SPAN_TTL_MS_DEFAULT = 30 * 60 * 1000; // 30min
+const SPAN_TTL_MS_LONG = 4 * 60 * 60 * 1000; // 4h
+
+function ttlFor(ctx: SpanContext): number {
+  if (
+    ctx.type === 'subagent' &&
+    ctx.attributes['qwen-code.subagent.invocation_kind'] !== 'foreground'
+  ) {
+    return SPAN_TTL_MS_LONG;
+  }
+  return SPAN_TTL_MS_DEFAULT;
+}
+```
+
+On TTL expiry, subagent spans get stamped:
+
+```ts
+{
+  'qwen-code.span.ttl_expired': true,
+  'qwen-code.span.duration_ms': age,
+  'qwen-code.subagent.status': 'aborted',
+  'qwen-code.subagent.terminate_reason': 'ttl_swept',
+}
+```
+
+**Why not 30min flat**: legit long subagents (large repo analysis, slow builds, deep research tasks) get mis-stamped as TTL-expired. 4h covers the 99th percentile without being so loose that real hangs go undetected.
+
+**Why not no-TTL**: process crash / OOM / kill -9 → span stays in `activeSpans` Map forever. The 30-min safety net protects against this; subagent fork/background just needs a wider window, not removal.
+
+**Where 4h came from**: pragmatic upper bound for non-trivial agent tasks (long deep-research / large codebase analysis). Configurable via constant if production data shows we're wrong.
+
+### D4 — LogRecord retention: keep emission, skip the LogToSpanProcessor bridge
+
+`SubagentExecutionEvent` LogRecord has 3 downstream consumers (verified by repo audit):
+
+| Consumer                                                                           | Position                                          | Action                                                                                  |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| OTel LogRecord → `LogToSpanProcessor` → bridge span `qwen-code.subagent_execution` | `loggers.ts:773` → `log-to-span-processor.ts:346` | **Skip this bridge** for the subagent event — new `qwen-code.subagent` span replaces it |
+| QwenLogger RUM ingestion (Aliyun internal stats)                                   | `qwen-logger.ts:573-574`                          | Keep — RUM doesn't see OTel spans, only LogRecords                                      |
+| `recordSubagentExecutionMetrics` Counter                                           | `metrics.ts:829`                                  | Keep — metric consumer is independent of trace bridge                                   |
+
+**Bridge skip** (the only change to LogToSpanProcessor):
+
+```ts
+// log-to-span-processor.ts — inside onEmit, after deriveSpanName
+const skipBridge = new Set([
+  EVENT_SUBAGENT_EXECUTION, // covered by native qwen-code.subagent span
+]);
+if (skipBridge.has(eventName)) return;
+```
+
+**Trace consumer impact**: dashboards that filter on span name `qwen-code.subagent_execution` start returning zero results. They should be updated to `qwen-code.subagent`. Note this in release notes.
+
+**Why not delete the LogRecord**: it's the input to RUM and metrics. Deleting it is a 3-system refactor; out of scope here.
+
+**Why not keep both**: trace would show two spans per subagent (`qwen-code.subagent` + `qwen-code.subagent_execution`) carrying overlapping info — confusing for operators reading traces, duplicate span volume.
+
+### D5 — Span name + attrs: hybrid spec compliance, vendor-prefixed for extensions
+
+**Span name**: `qwen-code.subagent` (matches Phase 1/2 codebase convention: `qwen-code.interaction`, `qwen-code.tool`, `qwen-code.hook`, …).
+
+OTel GenAI spec says the canonical span name is `invoke_agent {gen_ai.agent.name}` — but **also** says "individual GenAI systems/frameworks MAY specify different span name formats." We use our own name and set `gen_ai.operation.name='invoke_agent'` so spec-aware tooling still identifies the span. Operators reading our trace tree see consistent `qwen-code.*` naming.
+
+**Span kind**: `INTERNAL` (in-process subagent invocation, per spec).
+
+**Attribute set**:
+
+| Category                                                         | Attribute                                       | Source                                                               | Notes                                                                                                                                                                            |

+**SpanStatus mapping**:
+
+- `status === 'completed'` → `SpanStatus { code: OK }`
+- `status === 'failed'` → `SpanStatus { code: ERROR, message: truncated(error.message) }`
+- `status === 'cancelled'` or `'aborted'` → `SpanStatus { code: UNSET }` (matches Phase 2 convention)
+
+**Why dual-emit on `id` + `name`**: spec is in Development (one step earlier than Experimental). `OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=gen_ai_latest_experimental` exists for opt-in. Spec attr names may rename before Stable. Dual-emit is the same pattern Phase 2 used for `call_id` → `tool.call_id`; remove the vendor key when spec reaches Stable.
+
+**Why `qwen-code.subagent.*` (not `qwen.subagent.*`)**: every existing vendor-prefixed key in `constants.ts` uses `qwen-code.*` (`qwen-code.user_prompt`, `qwen-code.tool_call`, etc.). Internal consistency > OTel naming-convention preference, since operators query ARMS by prefix.
+
+**Cardinality**: span attrs are not metric labels in OTel; UUID-keyed attrs (`id`, `parent_agent_id`, `invoking_request_id`) are safe at the span layer. Don't promote them to metric labels later.
+
+**~10-15 attrs per span** (depending on invocation kind, failure, nesting). Same order as `qwen-code.tool`.
+
+### D6 — `AgentContext.depth` field added directly
+
+`AgentContext` (`agent-context.ts:32`) is **not exported** — only the helpers (`getCurrentAgentId`, `runWithAgentContext`, `getRuntimeContentGenerator`, `runWithRuntimeContentGenerator`) are. Zero TypeScript-level downstream breakage. The 6 known readers via `getCurrentAgentId()` only read `agentId`; adding `depth?: number` is invisible to them.
+
+```ts
+interface AgentContext {
+  agentId: string;
+  subagentName: string;
+  invokingRequestId: string;
+  invocationKind: 'spawn' | 'resume';
+  isBuiltIn: boolean;
+  depth?: number; // NEW — default 0 in readers
+}
+```
+
+`runWithAgentContext` already uses `{ ...current, agentId }` spread, so `depth` survives existing call sites unchanged. **Update `runWithAgentContext` to auto-increment depth internally** — no caller needs to know about depth:
+
+```ts
+function runWithAgentContext(agentId: string, fn: () => T): T {
+  const parent = agentContextStorage.getStore();
+  const next: AgentContext = {
+    ...parent,
+    agentId,
+    depth: (parent?.depth ?? -1) + 1, // auto-increment
+  };
+  return agentContextStorage.run(next, fn);
+}
+```
+
+Top-level subagent: no parent ALS → `depth: 0`. Nested: parent depth+1.
+
+A new tiny accessor `getCurrentAgentDepth(): number` returns `agentContextStorage.getStore()?.depth ?? 0` — used by `startSubagentSpan` to populate `qwen-code.subagent.depth`.
+
+**Why not a separate ALS just for telemetry**: would duplicate the same context shape we already maintain. Bad. Reuse the existing one.
+
+## Helper API (`session-tracing.ts`)
+
+```ts
+// constants.ts
+export const SPAN_SUBAGENT = 'qwen-code.subagent';
+
+// session-tracing.ts
+export interface StartSubagentSpanOptions {
+  agentId: string;
+  subagentName: string;
+  invocationKind: 'foreground' | 'fork' | 'background';
+  isBuiltIn: boolean;
+  parentAgentId?: string;
+  depth: number;
+  invokingRequestId?: string;
+  sessionId: string;
+  modelOverride?: string;
+  invokerSpanContext?: SpanContext; // required for fork / background (Link source)
+}
+
+export interface SubagentSpanMetadata {
+  status: 'completed' | 'failed' | 'cancelled' | 'aborted';
+  terminateReason?: string;
+  resultSummaryPresent?: boolean;
+  error?: string;
+  errorType?: string;
+}
+
+export function startSubagentSpan(opts: StartSubagentSpanOptions): Span;
+export function endSubagentSpan(
+  span: Span,
+  metadata: SubagentSpanMetadata,
+): void;
+export function runInSubagentSpanContext(
+  span: Span,
+  fn: () => Promise,
+): Promise;
+```
+
+`runInSubagentSpanContext` is the isolation primitive:
+
+```ts
+export function runInSubagentSpanContext(
+  span: Span,
+  fn: () => Promise,
+): Promise {
+  const ctx = trace.setSpan(otelContext.active(), span);
+  return otelContext.with(ctx, fn);
+}
+```
+
+`startSubagentSpan` internally branches on `invocationKind`:
+
+```ts
+function startSubagentSpan(opts: StartSubagentSpanOptions): Span {
+  const attributes = buildSpanAttributes(opts);
+  const tracer = getTracer();
+
+  if (opts.invocationKind === 'foreground') {
+    // Child of current active span (caller's tool span)
+    return tracer.startSpan(SPAN_SUBAGENT, {
+      kind: SpanKind.INTERNAL,
+      attributes,
+    });
+  }
+
+  // fork / background: linked root span
+  return tracer.startSpan(SPAN_SUBAGENT, {
+    kind: SpanKind.INTERNAL,
+    attributes,
+    links: opts.invokerSpanContext
+      ? [
+          {
+            context: opts.invokerSpanContext,
+            attributes: { 'qwen-code.link.kind': 'invoker' },
+          },
+        ]
+      : undefined,
+    root: true, // forces new traceId; ignores active context as parent
+  });
+}
+```
+
+## Lifecycle wiring
+
+### Foreground named (the common path)
+
+```ts
+// agent.ts:~2154
+// Pull parent ALS frame to set parentAgentId on the span. The new child's
+// depth is computed inside runWithAgentContext automatically (D6) — we
+// read it via getCurrentAgentDepth() once we're INSIDE the child ALS
+// frame. Two-step:
+const parentAgentId = getCurrentAgentId();  // BEFORE entering child frame
+
+// ... existing runFramed call enters runWithAgentContext(hookOpts.agentId, ...) ...
+
+// INSIDE runFramed, we can read child's depth:
+//   const depth = getCurrentAgentDepth();
+//
+// Practical placement: thread `depth` as a closure variable, set after
+// runWithAgentContext takes effect — OR compute it as
+// `(getCurrentAgentDepth() outside) + 1` from the caller side (simpler).
+const depth = getCurrentAgentDepth();  // outside frame; child will be this + 1
+// (set qwen-code.subagent.depth = depth in startSubagentSpan args)
+
+const span = startSubagentSpan({
+  agentId, subagentName, invocationKind: 'foreground',
+  isBuiltIn, parentAgentId, depth, invokingRequestId, sessionId,
+  modelOverride,
+  // invokerSpanContext omitted — foreground inherits naturally via context.with
+});
+let metadata: SubagentSpanMetadata = { status: 'aborted' };
+try {
+  await runInSubagentSpanContext(span, () =>
+    runFramed(() => this.runSubagentWithHooks(...)),
+  );
+  metadata = { status: 'completed' /* + resultSummaryPresent */ };
+} catch (error) {
+  metadata = {
+    status: signal.aborted ? 'aborted' : 'failed',
+    error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error),
+    errorType: error?.constructor?.name,
+  };
+  throw error;
+} finally {
+  endSubagentSpan(span, metadata);
+}
+```
+
+### Fork (fire-and-forget)
+
+```ts
+const invokerSpanContext = trace.getSpan(otelContext.active())?.spanContext();
+const span = startSubagentSpan({
+  ..., invocationKind: 'fork', invokerSpanContext,
+});
+void runInForkContext(() =>
+  runInSubagentSpanContext(span, async () => {
+    let metadata: SubagentSpanMetadata = { status: 'aborted' };
+    try {
+      await runFramedFork();
+      metadata = { status: 'completed' };
+    } catch (error) {
+      metadata = {
+        status: signal.aborted ? 'aborted' : 'failed',
+        error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error),
+      };
+    } finally {
+      endSubagentSpan(span, metadata);
+    }
+  }),
+);
+// AgentTool.execute returns FORK_PLACEHOLDER_RESULT immediately;
+// span lives across subsequent interactions of the parent session.
+```
+
+### Background
+
+Same shape as fork, with `invocationKind: 'background'` and `bgEventEmitter` instead of `eventEmitter`. TTL is 4h (same as fork — type rule from D3).
+
+## Concurrent isolation — the headline guarantee
+
+Three concurrent subagent invocations from one user prompt (model emits 3 AGENT tool_use blocks → `coreToolScheduler.runConcurrently` runs 3 `executeSingleToolCall` in parallel; each opens its own `qwen-code.tool` span per Phase 2):
+
+```
+qwen-code.interaction                         [traceId=T0]
+├─ qwen-code.tool [agent call #A]
+│  └─ qwen-code.subagent (A, foreground)     [traceId=T0, child]
+│     ├─ qwen-code.llm_request
+│     └─ qwen-code.tool [...]
+│        └─ qwen-code.tool.execution
+├─ qwen-code.tool [agent call #B]
+│  └─ qwen-code.subagent (B, foreground)     [traceId=T0, child]
+│     └─ qwen-code.llm_request
+└─ qwen-code.tool [agent call #C]
+   └─ qwen-code.subagent (C, fork)           [traceId=T1, linked root]
+      └─ qwen-code.llm_request                [traceId=T1]
+         └─ ...                               [traceId=T1, may emit hours later]
+```
+
+`context.with(span, runX)` for each of A, B, C runs concurrently. `AsyncLocalStorageContextManager` (already auto-registered by NodeSDK at `sdk.ts:273`) scopes per fiber; no cross-talk. Each subagent's child LLM / tool / hook spans see `span` via `context.active()` inside their own async chain.
+
+Fork (C) is a separate trace — its child spans inherit `traceId=T1` even when emitted across multiple subsequent interactions of the parent session. ARMS query by `session.id` returns both T0 and T1; the Link from T1's root → C's invoking `qwen-code.tool` span provides explicit navigation.

+Total: 9 files, ~430 LOC. Larger than typical Phase 2 commits but justified — TTL change touches a separate file, LogToSpanProcessor skip is a separate file, and the test files double up. Splitting would land an incomplete telemetry surface.
+
+If review pushes back on size: split into 2 PRs — (A) telemetry helpers + tests, (B) `agent.ts` wiring + e2e tests. Helpers landed first don't change runtime behavior.

Background fires it BEFORE the `runWithSubagentSpan` wrapping (so the subagent span doesn't yet exist), so its hook span parents under the AGENT `qwen-code.tool`. Operators querying "hook spans under subagent spans" should expect bg `SubagentStart` to be missing from that view. Moving the bg hook fire inside `framedBgBody` is mechanically simple (the `contextState` mutation reaches `bgSubagent.execute` either way), but it changes user-visible semantics: today the hook fires synchronously before `AgentTool.execute` returns the "Background agent launched" message, so any synchronous setup work the hook does happens inside the user-blocking turn; moving it makes the hook fire detached after the launch message returns. Deferred pending a deliberate decision on which semantic is preferred |
+
+## Rollback
+
+The change is additive at the OTel level — existing dashboards that don't filter on subagent-related span names keep working. Trace consumers that group by parent span will see new `qwen-code.subagent` nodes between `qwen-code.tool` and `qwen-code.llm_request`; document in release notes.
+
+Behavior-affecting change is the LogToSpanProcessor skip — dashboards previously consuming `qwen-code.subagent_execution` span return zero. Mitigation: keep the LogRecord intact (RUM + metrics still see it); only the span bridge is removed. Existing log-based queries unaffected.
+
+Rollback path: revert the single PR. The new span helpers are only invoked from `agent.ts`; dropping the wiring + the LogToSpanProcessor skip restores prior behavior 1:1.
+
+## Sampling implications
+
+| Invocation                                       | Sampling decision source                                                 |
+| ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `foreground` (child span, same traceId)          | Inherits parent trace's sampled-or-not decision via parent-based sampler |
+| `fork` / `background` (linked root, new traceId) | Independent sampling decision at root creation                           |
+
+For qwen-code's current default (per `tracer.ts:shouldForceSampled()` — parentbased + always_on else always_on), every span is sampled, so the divergence doesn't bite. For deployments using probabilistic samplers (e.g. `traceidratio=0.1`), this means:
+
+- A user prompt may be sampled (T0 fully captured) but its fork (T1) may be dropped, or vice versa.
+- Operators reading parent T0 see "Link: subagent C (T1)" — clicking through may 404 if T1 was not sampled.
+
+Mitigation: document for operators. If full subagent capture matters, force sampling for fork/background via a future config knob. Out of scope here.
+
+## Sensitive attributes (#4097 integration)
+
+Reuse the existing `includeSensitiveSpanAttributes` gate. When true, set on the subagent span at lifecycle hooks where the data is available:
+
+| Spec attr                    | Source                                                     | When set                                                                                 |
+| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `gen_ai.system_instructions` | rendered system prompt from `agentConfig` / parent context | `startSubagentSpan` (if available before span open) or via `setAttributes` early in body |
+| `gen_ai.tool.definitions`    | tool declarations available to the subagent                | same as above                                                                            |
+| `gen_ai.input.messages`      | initial input passed to subagent (prompt + extraHistory)   | at start of body                                                                         |
+| `gen_ai.output.messages`     | final response messages returned by subagent               | in `endSubagentSpan` metadata                                                            |
+
+These are all already gated; #4097's pattern is to call `addSubagentSensitiveAttributes(span, opts)` helper from inside the body. Implementation detail — design just notes the integration point.
+
+## Sequencing
+
+- Independent of #4367 (resource attributes — in review). No merge-order constraint, but `gen_ai.conversation.id` on subagent spans benefits from #4367's `session.id` moved off resource. **Recommend landing #4367 first** so `getSessionId()` source-of-truth is settled.
+- Independent of Phase 4 (LLM request decomposition / TTFT). Phase 4 attaches to `qwen-code.llm_request` spans regardless of whether they're under a subagent or an interaction. Recommend Phase 3 before Phase 4 so Phase 4's per-attempt metrics can be aggregated per-subagent.
+
+## Open questions
+
+1. **`gen_ai.provider.name`**: spec requires it but writes the description for LLM provider, not agent framework. Setting to `'qwen-code'` is best interpretation; if a future spec revision adds an `agent.provider.name` variant we should switch.
+2. **Span name `qwen-code.subagent` vs spec `invoke_agent {name}`**: chose internal consistency. If GenAI-aware tooling adoption grows and `invoke_agent ${name}` becomes critical for auto-discovery, we can switch — span name is the most rebrandable thing in OTel.
+3. **Soft-warn at depth ≥ 5**: arbitrary number. Could be a config knob. Defer until production data shows a need.
+4. **`SubagentExecutionEvent.result`'s full LLM output is large**: today it bloats LogRecord volume. The migration plan (LogRecord → span events) is deferred but worth doing once token-usage aggregation lands in Phase 4.
+5. **Log-bridge spans inside a fork end up on the session-derived traceId, not the fork's T1**: see edge cases. The fix is the broader "interaction span doesn't inherit session root context" issue raised in the sessionId-vs-traceId thread — a separate design that affects all native spans, not just subagent. Out of scope.

+# Daemon Web UI Adapter
+
+## Goal
+
+Web chat and web terminal clients should consume `qwen serve` through the
+daemon HTTP/SSE APIs and render a client-side transcript. Native local TUI,
+channel, and IDE integrations keep their existing default paths for now.
+
+## Shared UI Contract
+
+Use the TypeScript SDK daemon UI exports as the common boundary:
+
+```ts
+import {
+  DaemonClient,
+  DaemonSessionClient,
+  createDaemonTranscriptStore,
+  normalizeDaemonEvent,
+} from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+```
+
+The split is:
+
+- `DaemonClient` handles daemon HTTP routes.
+- `DaemonSessionClient` owns session creation/attachment and SSE replay.
+- `normalizeDaemonEvent()` converts daemon wire events into UI events.
+- `createDaemonTranscriptStore()` reduces UI events into transcript blocks.
+
+React clients can use the optional `@qwen-code/webui` binding:
+
+```tsx
+import {
+  DaemonSessionProvider,
+  useDaemonActions,
+  useDaemonConnection,
+  useDaemonPendingPermissions,
+  useDaemonTranscriptBlocks,
+} from '@qwen-code/webui';
+```
+
+Minimal React shape:
+
+```tsx
+function App() {
+  return (
+    
+      
+      
+    
+  );
+}
+
+function Transcript() {
+  const blocks = useDaemonTranscriptBlocks();
+  return blocks.map((block) => );
+}
+```
+
+The provider creates or attaches a daemon session, subscribes to SSE, keeps the
+last event id on `DaemonSessionClient`, and reconnects the stream by default.
+Callers can disable that with `autoReconnect={false}` for tests or custom
+connection management.
+
+## Browser Deployment Shapes
+
+### Same-Origin Local POC
+
+A daemon-served page can call the daemon directly because the page and API share
+one origin. This is the preferred early POC shape for local web chat and web
+terminal validation.
+
+### Remote Web Chat / Web Terminal
+
+A production remote web app should normally talk to a backend-for-frontend. The
+BFF owns daemon URL, token, workspace routing, and session metadata, then
+forwards browser-safe app events to the browser. This keeps bearer tokens out of
+browser storage and lets the deployment decide which daemon/workspace a user is
+allowed to reach.
+
+### Local Browser Against Local Daemon
+
+A separate local dev server is cross-origin from `qwen serve`; it must either
+proxy daemon routes through the same origin or be served by the daemon. The
+daemon intentionally rejects arbitrary browser `Origin` requests.
+
+## Rendering Responsibilities
+
+The shared transcript model is semantic, not visual. UI clients decide how to
+render:
+
+- user and assistant message blocks
+- collapsed thought blocks
+- tool status cards
+- shell output blocks
+- permission request controls
+- status/error/debug blocks
+
+The web terminal is a browser-native semantic renderer. It should look and feel
+terminal-like with monospace layout, scrollback, prompt input, shortcuts, and
+streaming blocks, but it is not a raw PTY proxy and does not require server-side
+Ink rendering.
+
+## Merge Safety
+
+- The native `qwen` TUI remains direct and unchanged.
+- `--acp`, channel, and IDE paths remain unchanged by default.
+- The SDK UI core is additive.
+- The WebUI React binding is optional and only runs in clients that import it.
+- Removed daemon TUI spike code should not be treated as a product migration.
+
+## Follow-Ups
+
+- Add a daemon-served local `/web` POC or equivalent same-origin web app.
+- Build first-class chat and terminal renderers on top of transcript blocks.
+- Add richer typed events only where existing daemon events are too low-level
+  for stable browser UI behavior.
+- Consider a dedicated `@qwen-code/daemon-ui-core` package if non-SDK consumers
+  need the UI core as an independent dependency.

+# Migrating to `@qwen-code/sdk/daemon` v2
+
+PR #4328 shipped the v1 daemon UI layer. PR #4353 (this PR) ships v2 with
+seven additive feature commits. This guide walks through the changes for web
+chat and web terminal adapter authors first. Native local TUI, channel, and IDE
+maintainers can reuse the same primitives later, but those default product paths
+are not migrated by this PR.
+
+## TL;DR for existing consumers
+
+**No breaking changes.** Every commit in this PR is additive:
+
+- v1 fields still work (`createdAt` preserved as `@deprecated` alias for
+  `clientReceivedAt`)
+- v1 normalizer still maps the same 13 event types the same way
+- v1 reducer still produces the same blocks for chat events
+- New API is opt-in via additional parameters and helpers
+
+The PR is safe to merge without any consumer changes. **Adoption of the
+new features is incremental.**
+
+## Recommended adoption order
+
+For each adapter, in order of effort/value ratio:
+
+### 1. Ordering: switch sort key from `createdAt` to `eventId`
+
+**Before:**
+
+```ts
+const ordered = [...state.blocks].sort((a, b) => a.createdAt - b.createdAt);
+```
+
+**After:**
+
+```ts
+import { selectTranscriptBlocksOrderedByEventId } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+const ordered = selectTranscriptBlocksOrderedByEventId(state);
+```
+
+**Why**: `eventId` is daemon-monotonic; survives SSE replay-after-reconnect.
+`createdAt` is client clock and shifts under replay.
+
+### 2. Display: switch `createdAt` to `serverTimestamp ?? clientReceivedAt`
+
+**Before:**
+
+```tsx
+
+```
+
+**After:**
+
+```tsx
+import { formatBlockTimestamp } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+;
+```
+
+**Why**: Multiple clients see consistent "X minutes ago" only when both
+read daemon clock. Renderer plus `formatBlockTimestamp` handles tz +
+locale.
+
+**Note**: Daemon needs to stamp `_meta.serverTimestamp` on envelopes for
+this to take effect. SDK forward-compat-ready; falls back to
+`clientReceivedAt` until then.
+
+### 3. Listen for new event types — pick subset to render
+
+The 16 new event types (session-meta, workspace, auth) don't push transcript
+blocks. They are sidechannel observations. Each adapter picks which to surface:
+
+```ts
+// In your SSE consumer
+const uiEvents = normalizeDaemonEvent(envelope, {
+  clientId,
+  suppressOwnUserEcho: true,
+});
+store.dispatch(uiEvents);
+
+// Then in your UI side
+for (const event of uiEvents) {
+  switch (event.type) {
+    case 'session.approval_mode.changed':
+      myApprovalModeBadge.update(event.next);
+      break;
+    case 'workspace.mcp.budget_warning':
+      myToast.show(
+        `MCP servers approaching budget: ${event.liveCount}/${event.budget}`,
+      );
+      break;
+    case 'auth.device_flow.started':
+      myAuthModal.show({
+        deviceFlowId: event.deviceFlowId,
+        providerId: event.providerId,
+        expiresAt: event.expiresAt,
+      });
+      break;
+    // ... etc, opt into what your UI needs
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or use selectors for state-mirrored sidechannels:
+
+```ts
+import { selectApprovalMode, selectCurrentTool } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+
+const mode = selectApprovalMode(state); // mirrored from approval_mode.changed
+const currentTool = selectCurrentTool(state); // current in-flight tool
+```
+
+### 4. Render contract: use `daemonBlockToMarkdown` (or HTML / plainText)
+
+**Before** (each adapter does its own projection):
+
+```ts
+function blockToString(block: DaemonTranscriptBlock): string {
+  switch (block.kind) {
+    case 'user':
+      return `You: ${block.text}`;
+    case 'assistant':
+      return block.text;
+    case 'tool':
+      return `[${block.title}]\n${block.status}`;
+    // ... etc
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After** (delegate to SDK):
+
+```ts
+import { daemonBlockToMarkdown } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+const md = daemonBlockToMarkdown(block);
+```
+
+For HTML SSR:
+
+```ts
+import MarkdownIt from 'markdown-it';
+import DOMPurify from 'dompurify';
+const html = DOMPurify.sanitize(md.render(daemonBlockToMarkdown(block)));
+```
+
+For plain text:
+
+```ts
+import { daemonBlockToPlainText } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+const plain = daemonBlockToPlainText(block);
+```
+
+### 5. Conformance test
+
+Add to your adapter's test suite:
+
+```ts
+import { runAdapterConformanceSuite } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+
+it('adapter projects daemon UI corpus correctly', () => {
+  const result = runAdapterConformanceSuite({
+    reduce: (events) => myReduce(events),
+    renderToText: (state) => myRender(state),
+  });
+  expect(result.failed).toEqual([]);
+});
+```
+
+This will run your adapter against 10 fixture scenarios and surface any
+projection drift before it reaches users.
+
+### 6. Tool icon dispatch via `provenance`
+
+**Before** (string match on toolName):
+
+```tsx
+const isMcp = toolName?.startsWith('mcp__');
+const isBuiltin = ['Bash', 'Edit', 'Read'].includes(toolName);
+```
+
+**After** (typed provenance from PR-A):
+
+```tsx
+import type { DaemonUiToolUpdateEvent } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+
+function toolIcon(event: DaemonUiToolUpdateEvent): React.ReactNode {
+  switch (event.provenance) {
+    case 'mcp':
+      return ;
+    case 'subagent':
+      return ;
+    case 'builtin':
+      return ;
+    case 'unknown':
+    default:
+      return ;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+SDK has a `mcp____` naming heuristic fallback — works today
+even when daemon doesn't explicitly stamp provenance.
+
+### 7. Error categorization via `errorKind`
+
+**Before** (regex on text):
+
+```ts
+if (error.text.includes('auth')) showAuthRetry();
+else if (error.text.includes('file not found')) showFilePicker();
+```
+
+**After** (closed enum from PR-A):
+
+```ts
+import type { DaemonErrorKind } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+
+function errorAction(errorKind?: DaemonErrorKind): React.ReactNode {
+  switch (errorKind) {
+    case 'auth_env_error': return ;
+    case 'missing_file':   return ;
+    case 'blocked_egress': return ;
+    case 'init_timeout':   return ;
+    default:               return null;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: Daemon needs to stamp `data.errorKind` on session_died /
+stream_error for this to populate. SDK already reads it.
+
+### 8. Cancellation handling — already automatic
+
+In v1, cancelled prompts left in-flight tool blocks spinning forever.
+In v2 (PR-E), `propagateCancellationToInFlightTools` runs automatically
+on `assistant.done.reason === 'cancelled'`. Sub-agent children are
+cancelled together with their parent.
+
+**No adapter changes needed** — your spinners will resolve correctly.
+
+### 8a. Sub-agent nesting — opt in to nested rendering (PR-K)
+
+Tool blocks invoked inside a sub-agent delegation now carry
+`parentToolCallId`, `subagentType`, and (when the parent is in state)
+`parentBlockId`. Adapters can opt in to nested rendering:
+
+**Before** (flat list, sub-agent calls visually indistinguishable from
+top-level):
+
+```tsx
+state.blocks.map((b) => );
+```
+
+**After** (recursive nested rendering):
+
+```tsx
+import {
+  selectSubagentChildBlocks,
+  isSubagentChildBlock,
+} from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+
+function renderTool(block) {
+  const children = selectSubagentChildBlocks(state, block.toolCallId);
+  return (
+    
+      {block.subagentType && }
+      {children.length > 0 && {children.map(renderTool)}}
+    
+  );
+}
+
+const topLevel = state.blocks.filter((b) => !isSubagentChildBlock(b));
+return topLevel.map(renderTool);
+```
+
+**No adapter changes needed if you prefer the flat view** — the new
+fields are additive and ignored by code that doesn't read them.
+
+### 9. Tool preview taxonomy — pick subset to render with custom components
+
+PR-D + PR-F bring 13 preview kinds:
+
+- 4 file-shaped: `file_diff`, `file_read`, `web_fetch`, `mcp_invocation`
+- 5 content-shaped: `code_block`, `search`, `tabular`, `image_generation`, `subagent_delegation`
+- 2 control: `ask_user_question`, `command`
+- 2 generic: `key_value`, `generic`
+
+Each adapter dispatches on `preview.kind`:
+
+```tsx
+function ToolPreviewComponent({ preview }: { preview: DaemonToolPreview }) {
+  switch (preview.kind) {
+    case 'file_diff':
+      return (
+        
+      );
+    case 'mcp_invocation':
+      return (
+        
+      );
+    case 'tabular':
+      return ;
+    case 'image_generation':
+      return (
+        
+      );
+    // ... or fall back to:
+    default:
+      return ;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Adapters without custom components for all 13 kinds can fall back to the
+SDK's `daemonToolPreviewToMarkdown` for any unhandled kind.
+
+## Backward-compat checklist
+
+| Concern                                                | Status                                        |
+| ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------- |
+| Existing `block.createdAt` reads                       | ✅ still works (alias for `clientReceivedAt`) |
+| Existing reducer event handling                        | ✅ unchanged for v1 event types               |
+| `daemonTranscriptToUnifiedMessages(blocks)` call sites | ✅ new options param is optional              |

+# Daemon UI SDK — Developer Guide
+
+The `@qwen-code/sdk/daemon` subpath ships shared UI primitives for daemon
+clients. The current adoption target is web chat and web terminal; native local
+TUI, channel, and IDE integrations keep their existing default paths while the
+daemon UI contract stabilizes. This guide covers the API surface introduced by
+PR #4353 (the unified follow-up to PR #4328's shared UI transcript layer).
+
+## Three-layer model
+
+```
+Daemon SSE wire (NDJSON envelopes)
+   │
+   ▼
+normalizeDaemonEvent(envelope) → DaemonUiEvent[]
+   │
+   ▼
+reduceDaemonTranscriptEvents(state, events) → DaemonTranscriptState
+   │                                            { blocks, currentToolCallId,
+   │                                              approvalMode, toolProgress, ... }
+   ▼
+daemonBlockToMarkdown(block) / ToHtml / ToPlainText  ← your renderer plugs here
+```
+
+- **Normalizer**: takes raw daemon SSE envelopes, returns typed UI events
+- **Reducer**: accumulates events into a transcript state machine
+- **Render helpers**: project state blocks to renderable strings
+
+## Quick start
+
+```ts
+import {
+  DaemonSessionClient,
+  createDaemonTranscriptStore,
+  normalizeDaemonEvent,
+  daemonBlockToMarkdown,
+  selectCurrentTool,
+  selectApprovalMode,
+} from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+
+const session = await DaemonSessionClient.createOrAttach(client, {
+  workspaceCwd,
+});
+const store = createDaemonTranscriptStore();
+
+for await (const envelope of session.events({ signal })) {
+  const events = normalizeDaemonEvent(envelope, {
+    clientId: session.clientId,
+    suppressOwnUserEcho: true,
+  });
+  store.dispatch(events);
+}
+
+// Read state from any subscriber
+store.subscribe(() => {
+  const state = store.getSnapshot();
+  const currentTool = selectCurrentTool(state);
+  const mode = selectApprovalMode(state);
+  const markdown = state.blocks.map(daemonBlockToMarkdown).join('\n\n');
+  myRenderer.render({ markdown, currentTool, mode });
+});
+```
+
+## Event taxonomy (28+ types)
+
+`DaemonUiEvent` is a discriminated union of all UI-facing events:
+
+### Chat-stream events
+
+| Event                        | When                                                  |
+| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `user.text.delta`            | User message chunk arrives from daemon                |
+| `assistant.text.delta`       | Assistant streaming chunk                             |
+| `assistant.done`             | Prompt completion (from sendPrompt resolve)           |
+| `thought.text.delta`         | Agent reasoning chunk                                 |
+| `tool.update`                | Tool call lifecycle (running / completed / cancelled) |
+| `shell.output`               | Shell tool stdout/stderr chunk                        |
+| `permission.request`         | Tool needs user authorization                         |
+| `permission.resolved`        | Permission decision arrived                           |
+| `model.changed`              | Session model switched                                |
+| `status` / `debug` / `error` | Status / debug / error blocks                         |
+
+### Session-meta events (PR-A)
+
+| Event                           | When                                             |
+| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| `session.metadata.changed`      | Session title / display name updated             |
+| `session.approval_mode.changed` | Mode toggled (plan / default / yolo / auto-edit) |
+| `session.available_commands`    | Slash command list refreshed                     |
+
+### Workspace events (PR-A, Wave 3-4)
+
+| Event                                  | When                                  |
+| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| `workspace.memory.changed`             | QWEN.md / memory file modified        |
+| `workspace.agent.changed`              | Sub-agent created / updated / deleted |
+| `workspace.tool.toggled`               | Builtin tool enabled / disabled       |
+| `workspace.initialized`                | `qwen init` completed                 |
+| `workspace.mcp.budget_warning`         | MCP child count approaching cap       |
+| `workspace.mcp.child_refused`          | MCP server refused due to budget      |
+| `workspace.mcp.server_restarted`       | Manual MCP restart succeeded          |
+| `workspace.mcp.server_restart_refused` | Manual restart blocked                |
+
+### Auth device-flow events (PR-A, Wave 4 OAuth)
+
+`auth.device_flow.{started,throttled,authorized,failed,cancelled}`
+
+Each carries the daemon's `deviceFlowId`. Failed events carry a closed-enum
+`errorKind` (closed enum — see `KNOWN_DEVICE_FLOW_ERROR_KINDS` exported from `@qwen-code/sdk/daemon` for the canonical list, currently: `expired_token` / `access_denied` / `invalid_grant` / `upstream_error` / `persist_failed` / `not_found_or_evicted`).
+
+## Render contract (PR-D)
+
+Three projection helpers, one preview helper. All discriminate on `block.kind`
+or `preview.kind`:
+
+```ts
+daemonBlockToMarkdown(block, { sanitizeUrls?, maxFieldLength?, locale? })
+daemonBlockToHtml(block, { sanitizer?, ...renderOpts })
+daemonBlockToPlainText(block, renderOpts)
+daemonToolPreviewToMarkdown(preview, renderOpts)
+```
+
+### Cookbook: render a transcript to markdown
+
+```ts
+const markdown = state.blocks
+  .map((b) => daemonBlockToMarkdown(b, { sanitizeUrls: true }))
+  .join('\n\n');
+```
+
+### Cookbook: render to sanitized HTML for SSR
+
+```ts
+import DOMPurify from 'dompurify';
+import MarkdownIt from 'markdown-it';
+const md = new MarkdownIt();
+
+const html = state.blocks
+  .map((b) => {
+    // Two-stage pipeline: markdown → HTML → DOMPurify
+    const rawHtml = md.render(daemonBlockToMarkdown(b));
+    return DOMPurify.sanitize(rawHtml);
+  })
+  .join('\n');
+```
+
+Or use the built-in conservative HTML renderer (no markdown parsing, just
+HTML escape):
+
+```ts
+const html = state.blocks
+  .map((b) => daemonBlockToHtml(b, { sanitizer: DOMPurify.sanitize }))
+  .join('\n');
+```
+
+### Cookbook: copy-paste plain text
+
+```ts
+const plain = state.blocks.map(daemonBlockToPlainText).join('\n');
+navigator.clipboard.writeText(plain);
+```
+
+## Tool preview taxonomy (13 kinds)
+
+| Kind                  | Surface                                           |
+| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| `ask_user_question`   | Multi-choice question with options                |
+| `command`             | Bash-style command + cwd                          |
+| `file_diff`           | File edit with oldText/newText or patch           |
+| `file_read`           | Path + optional line range                        |
+| `web_fetch`           | URL + HTTP method                                 |
+| `mcp_invocation`      | MCP server + tool + args summary                  |
+| `code_block`          | Language-tagged code snippet                      |
+| `search`              | Query + result count + top results                |
+| `tabular`             | Columns + rows (capped at 50, truncation flagged) |
+| `image_generation`    | Prompt + optional thumbnail URL                   |
+| `subagent_delegation` | Agent name + task                                 |
+| `key_value`           | Generic label/value rows                          |
+| `generic`             | Fallback summary                                  |
+
+Each has a `daemonToolPreviewToMarkdown` projection. Custom renderers can
+dispatch on `preview.kind` for rich per-type display (file diff with
+syntax highlighting, MCP server badge, image thumbnail, etc.).
+
+## State selectors (PR-E)
+
+```ts
+selectCurrentTool(state); // → DaemonToolTranscriptBlock | undefined
+selectApprovalMode(state); // → 'plan' | 'default' | 'auto-edit' | 'yolo' | undefined
+selectToolProgress(state, toolCallId); // → { ratio?, step? } | undefined
+selectPendingPermissionBlocks(state); // → ReadonlyArray
+selectTranscriptBlocks(state); // → ReadonlyArray
+selectTranscriptBlocksOrderedByEventId(state); // sorted by daemon-monotonic id
+
+// PR-K — sub-agent nesting
+selectSubagentChildBlocks(state, parentToolCallId); // direct children only
+isSubagentChildBlock(block); // type guard: was this tool invoked inside a sub-agent?
+```
+
+`currentToolCallId` is automatically maintained by the reducer:
+
+- Set when a tool enters in-flight status (`running` / `in_progress` / `pending` / `confirming`)
+- Cleared when tool enters terminal status (`completed` / `failed` / `cancelled` / etc.)
+- Unknown statuses leave it untouched (forward-compat)
+
+## Cancellation propagation (PR-E)
+
+When `assistant.done.reason === 'cancelled'`, the reducer walks every
+in-flight tool block and force-sets its status to `'cancelled'`. Daemon
+does not guarantee a terminal `tool_call_update` for every in-flight
+tool when the parent prompt is cancelled — this propagation prevents UI
+spinners from spinning forever.
+
+Sub-agent children are cancelled together with their parent because
+cancellation iterates every in-flight tool block in `toolBlockByCallId`,
+not just the current pointer.
+
+## Sub-agent nesting (PR-K)
+
+When the main agent delegates to a sub-agent (the `Task` tool, or
+equivalent), the daemon stamps `parentToolCallId` and `subagentType` on
+the **child** tool calls via `tool_call._meta`. The reducer reads both
+and:
+
+- Mirrors `parentToolCallId` + `subagentType` onto
+  `DaemonToolTranscriptBlock`
+- Resolves `parentBlockId` (the parent's transcript block `id`) when the
+  parent block is already in state; otherwise leaves it `undefined` and
+  back-fills when the parent block later appears
+
+Out-of-order arrival (child before parent) is handled transparently. A
+child whose parent gets trimmed by `maxBlocks` keeps `parentToolCallId`
+for selector queries, but `parentBlockId` is nulled (the dangling id
+would no longer resolve via `blockIndexById`).
+
+```ts
+import {
+  selectSubagentChildBlocks,
+  isSubagentChildBlock,
+} from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+
+// Render a parent tool block, then walk children:
+function renderToolBlock(state, block) {
+  if (block.kind !== 'tool') return renderOther(block);
+  const children = selectSubagentChildBlocks(state, block.toolCallId);
+  return (
+    
+      {children.length > 0 && (
+        
+          {children.map((c) => renderToolBlock(state, c))}
+        
+      )}
+    
+  );
+}
+
+// Or filter top-level vs. nested at render time:
+const topLevel = state.blocks.filter((b) => !isSubagentChildBlock(b));
+```
+
+`selectSubagentChildBlocks` returns **direct** children only. Walk
+recursively to render nested sub-agents (a sub-agent inside a
+sub-agent). Daemon does not emit cycles, but renderers walking up via
+`parentBlockId` should still detect them defensively (e.g., depth cap or
+visited set).
+
+Self-references (`parentToolCallId === toolCallId`) are dropped by the
+normalizer before reaching the reducer.
+
+## Time semantics (PR-B)
+
+```ts
+interface DaemonTranscriptBlockBase {
+  eventId?: number; // PRIMARY sort key — daemon-monotonic
+  serverTimestamp?: number; // PREFERRED display — daemon-authoritative
+  clientReceivedAt: number; // FALLBACK — local clock
+  createdAt: number; // @deprecated alias for clientReceivedAt
+}
+```
+
+**Always sort by `eventId`** (use `selectTranscriptBlocksOrderedByEventId`)
+when displaying long sessions. The daemon-monotonic cursor is preserved
+across SSE replay-after-reconnect; client clocks are not.
+
+**Always format display timestamps from `serverTimestamp`** (with
+fallback to `clientReceivedAt`). Multiple clients viewing the same session
+see the same "5 minutes ago" only when both read from the daemon clock.
+
+```ts
+import { formatBlockTimestamp } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+
+const label = formatBlockTimestamp(block, {
+  locale: 'zh-CN',
+  timeZone: 'Asia/Shanghai',
+  timeStyle: 'short',
+});
+```
+
+## Adapter conformance (PR-G)
+
+Validate your adapter projects the SDK's reference corpus to semantically
+equivalent output:
+
+```ts
+import { runAdapterConformanceSuite } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+
+it('my adapter conforms to daemon UI corpus', () => {
+  const result = runAdapterConformanceSuite({
+    reduce: (events) => myReducer(events),
+    renderToText: (state) => myRenderer(state),
+  });
+  expect(result.failed).toEqual([]);
+});
+```
+
+The fixture corpus (`DAEMON_UI_CONFORMANCE_FIXTURES`) covers chat, tool
+lifecycle, file edits, MCP, permissions, MCP budget warning, cancellation,
+malformed payload redaction, OAuth, command updates, and sub-agent
+nesting. (Count is derivable at runtime — read
+`DAEMON_UI_CONFORMANCE_FIXTURES.length`.)
+
+**Format-agnostic** — your adapter can render to ANSI / HTML / markdown /
+JSX; the framework only checks semantic content via `expectedContains` and
+`expectedAbsent`.
+
+## Error categorization (PR-A)
+
+`DaemonUiErrorEvent.errorKind` is a closed-enum propagated from the
+daemon's typed-error taxonomy (when the daemon stamps it):
+
+```ts
+import type { DaemonErrorKind } from '@qwen-code/sdk/daemon';
+// 'missing_binary' | 'blocked_egress' | 'auth_env_error' | 'init_timeout'
+// | 'protocol_error' | 'missing_file' | 'parse_error' | 'budget_exhausted'
+```
+
+Renderers should branch on `errorKind` for actionable affordances:
+
+```ts
+function errorAffordance(errorKind?: DaemonErrorKind): React.ReactNode {
+  switch (errorKind) {
+    case 'auth_env_error': return ;
+    case 'missing_file':   return ;
+    case 'blocked_egress': return Network blocked — check proxy;
+    default:               return null;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Tool provenance dispatch (PR-A)
+
+`DaemonUiToolUpdateEvent.provenance` is a closed-enum (`builtin` / `mcp` /
+`subagent` / `unknown`). With `serverId?: string` when `mcp`. Use it for
+icon dispatch and badging:
+
+```ts
+function toolIcon(event: DaemonUiToolUpdateEvent): React.ReactNode {
+  switch (event.provenance) {
+    case 'mcp':      return ;
+    case 'subagent': return ;
+    case 'builtin':  return ;
+    default:         return ;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The SDK has a `mcp____` naming heuristic fallback — even
+when daemon doesn't explicitly stamp provenance, MCP tools are detectable.
+
+## Forward-compat principles
+
+Every layer in the daemon UI SDK follows the **forward-compat principle**:
+unknown values do NOT throw; they degrade gracefully.
+
+- Unknown daemon event types → `debug` event with the raw type name
+- Unknown tool status → `currentToolCallId` left untouched (no clear)
+- Unknown error kind → `errorKind` undefined (renderer falls back to text)
+- Missing serverTimestamp → falls back to `clientReceivedAt`
+- Unrecognized preview shape → `generic` kind with `summary`
+
+This means **SDK can ship ahead of daemon emission**. PR-A's tool
+provenance heuristic, PR-B's three-location timestamp extraction, and
+PR-E's unknown-status preservation are all examples of "ready when daemon
+sends; safe when it doesn't."

+# Daemon Developer Documentation
+
+This is the developer-facing technical documentation for **qwen-code daemon mode**: the `qwen serve` HTTP daemon, the `@qwen-code/acp-bridge` package, the workspace-scoped MCP transport pool, multi-client permission mediation, typed daemon event schema v1, the TypeScript SDK daemon client, and the adapters that connect to the daemon.
+
+It complements, rather than replaces, these existing docs:

+If you want to **start a daemon and use it**, read `qwen-serve.md` first. If you want to **build a client against the wire format**, read `qwen-serve-protocol.md`. If you want to **understand, extend, or debug the daemon internals**, read this set.
+
+## Reading order
+
+Pick the path that matches your goal:
+
+- **Start and verify a daemon first**: `20 -> 17 -> 19`.
+- **New contributor**: `01 -> 02 -> 03 -> 08 -> 09 -> 10 -> 11 -> 12`.
+- **Adding a new client adapter**: `01 -> 09 -> 10 -> 13 -> (14 / 15 / 16)`.
+- **Working on the MCP pool or budget**: `01 -> 03 -> 05 -> 06`.
+- **Working on permissions**: `01 -> 03 -> 04 -> 12`.
+- **Debugging a production daemon**: `19 -> 18 -> 17 -> 20`.

+
+## Glossary
+
+- **ACP** - Agent Client Protocol. JSON-RPC over stdio spoken between the daemon bridge and the ACP child process. This is not the HTTP protocol that clients use against the daemon.
+- **ACP child** - the child process the daemon spawns (`qwen --acp`) to host the actual agent runtime. The bridge multiplexes one ACP child across many connected clients.
+- **acp-bridge** - the `@qwen-code/acp-bridge` package (`packages/acp-bridge/`). Owns session multiplexing, the permission mediator, the event bus, and the channel factory.
+- **BridgeClient** - `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridgeClient.ts`. Wraps one ACP `ClientSideConnection`, and handles `requestPermission`, `sendPrompt`, and `cancelSession`.
+- **Channel factory** - pluggable strategy for spawning or attaching to an ACP child. The default `spawnChannel` runs `qwen --acp` as a subprocess; `inMemoryChannel` runs it in-process for tests.
+- **DaemonClient** - `packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/DaemonClient.ts`. The TypeScript SDK HTTP-level facade over the daemon.
+- **DaemonSessionClient** - `packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/DaemonSessionClient.ts`. Session-scoped wrapper that tracks `lastSeenEventId` for SSE replay.
+- **EventBus** - `packages/acp-bridge/src/eventBus.ts`. Per-session in-memory pub/sub with monotonic IDs, a bounded ring, and per-subscriber backpressure.
+- **F1 / F2 / F3 / F4** - internal milestones tracked in [#4175](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/issues/4175). F1: bridge extraction and `BridgeFileSystem`. F2: workspace-scoped MCP transport pool. F3: multi-client permission mediation. F4: protocol completion and daemon client surfaces.
+- **MCP** - Model Context Protocol. Servers expose tools, resources, and prompts; the daemon ACP child connects to them.
+- **McpTransportPool** - `packages/core/src/tools/mcp-transport-pool.ts`. F2 workspace-scoped pool sharing one MCP transport per server name and config fingerprint.
+- **Mediator policy** - one of `first-responder`, `designated`, `consensus`, or `local-only`. Decides how multi-client permission votes resolve.
+- **Originator client id** - the `X-Qwen-Client-Id` of the client that initiated the prompt currently requesting permission. The `designated` policy only accepts votes from this id.
+- **PoolEntry** - `packages/core/src/tools/mcp-pool-entry.ts`. One entry in `McpTransportPool`: one MCP transport, a refcount of attached sessions, and an idle drain timer.
+- **Session scope** - `single` (one ACP session shared by all clients) or `thread` (one session per conversation thread). The default is `single`.
+- **SSE** - Server-Sent Events. The daemon outbound event channel (`GET /session/:id/events`).
+- **Workspace** - the directory the daemon was bound to at boot (`--workspace` or `cwd`). One daemon process equals one workspace.

+## What is intentionally out of scope
+
+- **Java / Python SDK daemon clients** - only the TypeScript SDK ships a daemon client today. Doc 13 is TypeScript-only.
+- **Web UI product details** - the shared transcript layer and web UI daemon entry points are covered here, but product UI layout is tracked in `docs/developers/daemon-ui/` and adapter design notes.
+- **Zed extension (`packages/zed-extension/`)** - it launches `qwen --acp` over stdio directly and bypasses the daemon.
+- **Experimental in-process hosting** - `--no-http-bridge` still falls back to http-bridge today; a stable in-process serve mode would need new docs when it lands.

+### Forward compatibility
+
+- Event schema v1 is additive. New known event types must be appended to `DAEMON_KNOWN_EVENT_TYPE_VALUES`; old SDKs must treat unknown types as forward-compatible.
+- Capability tags are behavior contracts. New behavior needs a new tag, especially if clients might preflight it before calling a route.
+- `sessionScope: 'thread'` is the current per-conversation-thread split; avoid reintroducing older client-scoped wording.
+- Envelope `_meta` and ACP payload `data._meta` are distinct. Tool-call provenance lives under the ACP payload; server emit timestamps live on the SSE envelope.

+# Daemon Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+A `qwen serve` process is **one daemon = one workspace**. It hosts a single Express HTTP server, owns an `@qwen-code/acp-bridge` instance, and spawns one ACP child process (`qwen --acp`) that runs the actual agent runtime. Multiple clients (CLI TUI, IDE companion, IM channel bots, web BFFs, custom scripts) connect over HTTP + SSE and either share one ACP session (`sessionScope: 'single'`, default) or split sessions by conversation thread (`sessionScope: 'thread'`).
+
+Inside the ACP child, MCP servers are shared workspace-wide through `McpTransportPool` (F2): a single (server-name + config-fingerprint) tuple maps to one MCP transport, regardless of how many sessions discover it. The bridge's `MultiClientPermissionMediator` (F3) coordinates permission votes across all connected clients under one of four policies.
+
+This doc gives the **system-level picture** that the rest of this documentation set builds on. Each critical flow is shown as a Mermaid sequence diagram; per-component implementation details live in the other 18 docs.

+
+The daemon process and the ACP child are connected by an `AcpChannel` (default: a real subprocess stdio pipe pair; `inMemoryChannel` for tests). Everything the daemon does is shaped by this split: HTTP and SSE traffic terminate in the daemon, agent decisions and tool invocations happen in the child, and the bridge connects the two.

+Three trust boundaries matter: the HTTP edge (`serve/auth.ts` middleware chain), the bridge-to-ACP-child boundary (NDJSON over stdio, no auth; the child trusts the bridge implicitly), and the agent-to-MCP-server boundary (the agent may invoke tools that touch the host).

+    CH-->>BC: ACP response / notifications
+    BC-->>BR: result
+    BR-->>R: result
+    R-->>C: 200 JSON
+```
+
+Non-streaming routes (prompt, cancel, model switch, metadata, workspace CRUD) terminate as a single JSON reply. Streaming output is delivered out-of-band on the SSE channel, **not** as a chunked HTTP body on this connection. See workflow 2.
+
+## Workflow 2: SSE event delivery and replay
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant C as Client
+    participant SR as GET /session/:id/events
+    participant EB as EventBus
(per session)
+    participant BC as BridgeClient
+    participant CH as ACP child
+
+    C->>SR: GET …/events
Last-Event-ID: 42 (optional)
+    SR->>EB: subscribe(lastSeenId=42, maxQueued=N)
+    EB-->>SR: replay frames 43..currentTail
(from ring buffer)
+    SR-->>C: NDJSON: id=43, type=session_update, …
+    CH-->>BC: ACP notification (e.g. agent_message_chunk)
+    BC->>EB: publish({type, data})
+    EB-->>SR: enqueue id=N
+    SR-->>C: id=N, type=…, data=…
+    Note over EB,SR: If subscriber queue >= maxQueued,
EventBus emits client_evicted terminal frame
and closes subscriber.
+```
+
+The ring buffer is bounded (`eventRingSize`, default 8000). A reconnecting client whose `Last-Event-ID` is older than the ring's head receives a synthetic catch-up signal and must call `loadSession` / `resumeSession` to rebuild deeper state. Slow clients trigger `slow_client_warning` at 75% queue fill and `client_evicted` at the cap.
+
+## Workflow 3: Multi-client permission mediation
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber

+    participant BC as BridgeClient.requestPermission

+
+    alt first-responder

+        C1->>MED: POST /permission/:requestId (late vote)
+        MED-->>C1: 409 permission_already_resolved
+    else designated
+        C2->>MED: vote (clientId != originatorClientId)
+        MED-->>C2: 403 permission_forbidden
+        C1->>MED: vote (matches originator)
+        MED-->>BC: resolved
+    else consensus (N-of-M)
+        C1->>MED: vote
+        MED->>EB: permission_partial_vote (1/N)
+        C2->>MED: vote
+        MED->>EB: permission_partial_vote (2/N)
+        Note over MED: when tally reaches quorum on one option, resolve
+    else local-only
+        C2->>MED: vote (remote)
+        MED-->>C2: 403 permission_forbidden (remote_not_allowed)
+        Note over MED,CH: blocks until a loopback voter resolves it
+    end
+```
+
+Cross-policy escape hatch: any client may vote `CANCEL_VOTE_SENTINEL` to short-circuit the request as `cancelled / agent_cancelled`. The bridge guards against wire callers smuggling the sentinel via the normal `optionId` field (`InvalidPermissionOptionError`).
+
+## Workflow 4: MCP transport pool acquire / release / restart
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber

+    E->>SRV: reconnect
+    P->>EB: publish mcp_server_restarted
with stable entryIndex
+    P-->>S: single result or {entries: RestartResult[]}
+```
+
+`releaseSession(sessionId)` uses the reverse `sessionToEntries` index to release every entry the session holds in O(refs). On daemon shutdown, `drainAll()` sets the `draining` flag (refusing new acquires) and waits for every entry to close under a configurable timeout.

bridge.killAllSync() + process.exit(1) (orphan prevention)
+```
+
+The two-phase shutdown matters because in-flight HTTP requests, in-flight SSE subscribers, and the ACP child's in-flight tool calls all need bounded teardown windows. If anything blocks past those deadlines, the force-close path takes over so a stuck child cannot keep the daemon process alive.

+# Serve Runtime
+
+## Overview
+
+`packages/cli/src/serve/` is the boot layer for `qwen serve`. It translates CLI flags into `ServeOptions`, validates startup configuration, builds the Express app, wires middleware, registers routes, exposes daemon-host preflight/status providers, maintains the permission audit ring, and owns the two-phase graceful shutdown sequence. HTTP-facing work lives in this layer; ACP-facing work lives one layer below in `@qwen-code/acp-bridge` (see [`03-acp-bridge.md`](./03-acp-bridge.md)).
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Parse and validate `ServeOptions`: listen address, auth, workspace, session / connection caps, MCP budget / pool, CORS, prompt / SSE / session idle timeouts, rate limit, and related toggles.
+- **Canonicalize** the bound workspace exactly once. The same canonical form is shared by `/capabilities`, the `POST /session` fallback, and the bridge.
+- Reject unsafe or invalid startup configurations: non-loopback bind without token, `--require-auth` without token, `--allow-origin '*'` without token, `mcpBudgetMode='enforce'` without a positive `mcpClientBudget`, a nonexistent or non-directory `--workspace`, and invalid timeout or rate-limit values.
+- Construct the `WorkspaceFileSystem` factory, permission audit publisher, `DaemonStatusProvider`, and `acp-bridge`.
+- Build the Express app, wire middleware (`denyBrowserOriginCors` / `allowOriginCors` -> `hostAllowlist` -> access log -> `bearerAuth` -> rate limit -> JSON parser -> telemetry -> per-route `mutationGate`), and mount session, workspace CRUD, file, device-flow auth, permission vote, and ACP HTTP routes.
+- Bind the listening port and register signal handlers.
+- Run two-phase shutdown on SIGINT/SIGTERM; force-exit on a second signal.
+
+## Architecture
+
+**Entry**: `runQwenServe(opts, deps)` in `packages/cli/src/serve/run-qwen-serve.ts`. Returns a `RunHandle` (`{ url, port, close, ... }`).
+
+**App factory**: `createServeApp(opts, getPort, deps)` in `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts`. Builds the Express `Application`. Direct embedders and tests call it without the bootstrap wrapper.
+
+**Capability registry**: `SERVE_CAPABILITY_REGISTRY` in `packages/cli/src/serve/capabilities.ts`. Each tag has a `since` version and optional `modes`. Ten conditional tags (`require_auth`, `mcp_workspace_pool`, `mcp_pool_restart`, `allow_origin`, `prompt_absolute_deadline`, `writer_idle_timeout`, `workspace_settings`, `session_shell_command`, `rate_limit`, `workspace_reload`) are omitted when their corresponding toggle is off. See [`11-capabilities-versioning.md`](./11-capabilities-versioning.md).
+
+**Middleware** (`packages/cli/src/serve/auth.ts` and `server.ts`):
+
+| Middleware, in registration order           | Purpose                                                                                                                    | Notes                                                                                                             |
+| ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `denyBrowserOriginCors` / `allowOriginCors` | Deny all `Origin` headers by default; switch to an allowlist when `--allow-origin ` is configured.                | See [`12-auth-security.md`](./12-auth-security.md).                                                               |
+| `hostAllowlist(bind, getPort)`              | On loopback, validate `Host` belongs to `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, `[::1]`, or `host.docker.internal` plus the actual port. | Defense against DNS rebinding. Comparison is case-insensitive and cached per port.                                |
+| Access-log middleware                       | Records method, path, status, durationMs, sessionId, and clientId to `DaemonLogger` when a request finishes.               | Registered **before** `bearerAuth`, so 401 denials are logged too. Skips `/health` and heartbeat.                 |
+| `bearerAuth(token)`                         | SHA-256 plus `timingSafeEqual` constant-time bearer comparison.                                                            | Open passthrough when no token is configured (loopback dev default). `Bearer` scheme is case-insensitive.         |
+| Rate-limit middleware                       | Optional per-tier token bucket for prompt, mutation, and read routes.                                                      | Registered after `bearerAuth` and before JSON parsing; returns 429 before parsing when a bucket is exhausted.     |
+| `express.json({ limit: '10mb' })`           | JSON body parsing.                                                                                                         | Parse errors return 400.                                                                                          |
+| `daemonTelemetryMiddleware`                 | Wraps each HTTP request in an OpenTelemetry span through `withDaemonRequestSpan`.                                          | Attributes include route, sessionId, clientId, and status code.                                                   |
+| `createMutationGate` (per-route)            | Route-level opt-in gate for mutation routes that require token even on loopback.                                           | Returns `401 { code: 'token_required' }`. Not global `app.use`; routes call `mutate({ strict: true })` as needed. |

+- `serve/httpAcpBridge.ts` -> `@qwen-code/acp-bridge`
+
+## Flow
+
+### Boot sequence
+
+1. **Resolve and trim token** from `opts.token` or `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN`; this
+   avoids a trailing newline from `cat token.txt` silently breaking bearer
+   comparison.
+2. **Hostname typo guard**: `--hostname localhost:4170` errors and suggests `--port`.
+3. **Auth preflight**: non-loopback without token refuses; `--require-auth` without token refuses.
+4. **Workspace validation**: absolute path, exists, directory. `EACCES` / `EPERM` are wrapped to point at the flag.
+5. **Canonicalize workspace**: `canonicalizeWorkspace(rawWorkspace)` runs `realpathSync.native` once and feeds `/capabilities`, the `POST /session` fallback, and the bridge.
+6. **MCP budget validation**: positive integer; `enforce` requires a budget.
+7. **MCP pool toggle inference**: parent env `QWEN_SERVE_NO_MCP_POOL=1` makes `mcpPoolActive=false`, so capabilities honestly omit `mcp_workspace_pool` and `mcp_pool_restart`.
+8. **CORS / timeout / rate-limit validation**: `--allow-origin '*'` requires token; prompt, writer, channel idle, session idle, reaper, and rate-limit window values fail fast when invalid.
+9. **Per-handle `childEnvOverrides`**: pass `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_CLIENT_BUDGET` and `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_BUDGET_MODE` to the ACP child through `BridgeOptions.childEnvOverrides` instead of mutating `process.env`.
+10. **Load `settings.json` once**: read `context.fileName`, `policy.permissionStrategy`, and `policy.consensusQuorum`. Corrupt files fall back to defaults. `validatePolicyConfig()` checks `policy.*` against `SERVE_CAPABILITY_REGISTRY.permission_mediation.modes`; unknown strategies or non-positive `consensusQuorum` throw `InvalidPolicyConfigError`. A quorum set under a non-`consensus` strategy logs a stderr warning.
+11. **Allocate `PermissionAuditRing`** (512 entries).
+12. **Build `fsFactory`**: `runQwenServe` defaults to `trusted: true`; direct `createServeApp` callers default to `trusted: false` and warn once.
+13. **`createHttpAcpBridge`**, see [`03-acp-bridge.md`](./03-acp-bridge.md).
+14. **`createServeApp`** assembles Express.
+15. **`server.listen(port, hostname)`**, then resolve the actual `getPort()` for host allowlist.
+16. **Register SIGINT / SIGTERM handlers** for graceful shutdown.
+
+### Graceful shutdown
+
+1. **Phase 1 - bridge teardown** on first signal:
+   - Dispose the device-flow registry and cancel pending flows.
+   - `bridge.shutdown()` marks each channel `isDying = true`, sends graceful close to each ACP child stdin, waits `KILL_HARD_DEADLINE_MS` (10s) per channel, then calls `channel.kill()` if needed.
+2. **Phase 2 - HTTP teardown**:
+   - `server.close()` stops accepting new connections and lets in-flight requests finish.
+   - `SHUTDOWN_FORCE_CLOSE_MS` (5s) triggers `server.closeAllConnections()`.
+   - A second 2s deadline escalates again if needed.
+3. **Second signal while exiting**:
+   - `bridge.killAllSync()` + `process.exit(1)` to avoid orphaned children blocking daemon exit.
+
+## State and lifecycle
+
+`RunHandle` exposes:
+
+- `url`: resolved listen URL, after ephemeral port resolution.
+- `port`: actual port, including `0` resolution.
+- `close({ timeoutMs? })`: programmatic shutdown for embedders and tests.
+
+Calling `createServeApp` directly returns only an `Application`; the embedder owns `listen` and shutdown.

+
+## Caveats and known limits
+
+- Direct `createServeApp` without `deps.fsFactory` or `deps.bridge` defaults to `trusted: false`; agent-side ACP `writeTextFile` rejects as `untrusted_workspace`. The warning is printed once.
+- `denyBrowserOriginCors` rejects **all** requests carrying `Origin`; the demo page works because another middleware strips matching same-origin values first.
+- Body-parser ordering: routes using `mutate({ strict: true })` return 401 only after `express.json()`. The worst case is `--max-connections × express.json({limit: '10mb'})`, up to about 2.5 GB of transient memory on a saturated loopback listener; this tradeoff is intentional.
+- Multiple daemons in one process must use per-handle `childEnvOverrides`; mutating `process.env` races because `defaultSpawnChannelFactory` snapshots env at spawn time.

+# ACP Bridge
+
+## Overview
+
+`packages/acp-bridge/` owns the boundary between the daemon's HTTP layer and the ACP child process. It is consumed by `packages/cli/src/serve/` (the `qwen serve` daemon) and was extracted in #4175 F1 step 3 so future consumers (`channels/base/AcpBridge.ts`, the VS Code IDE companion) can use the same bridge core without reaching into the CLI package.
+
+The bridge provides one `HttpAcpBridge` instance, one `AcpChannel` to the ACP child, multiplexed sessions over that channel, per-session `EventBus`es, a `MultiClientPermissionMediator`, a `BridgeFileSystem` adapter, and ACP-oriented helpers (`spawnOrAttach`, `loadSession`, `resumeSession`, `sendPrompt`, `cancelSession`, `respondToPermission`, plus extMethod RPCs for workspace status and MCP restart).
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Spawn or attach to the ACP child via a pluggable `ChannelFactory`. Default factory: `defaultSpawnChannelFactory` (subprocess `qwen --acp`). Tests inject `inMemoryChannel`.
+- Maintain `aliveChannels` (channel registry) and `byId` (session registry).
+- Multiplex N HTTP-side sessions onto one ACP child via `connection.newSession()`.
+- Serialize per-session prompts through `promptQueue` (ACP enforces one active prompt per session).
+- Per-session FIFO for `setSessionModel` calls so concurrent attaches with different models do not race the agent.
+- Per-session `EventBus` that drives `GET /session/:id/events` (see [`10-event-bus.md`](./10-event-bus.md)).
+- Permission flow: `BridgeClient.requestPermission` → `MultiClientPermissionMediator.request` → fan-out → vote collection → ACP response (see [`04-permission-mediation.md`](./04-permission-mediation.md)).
+- File I/O: `BridgeFileSystem` adapter for ACP `readTextFile` / `writeTextFile` calls (see [`07-workspace-filesystem.md`](./07-workspace-filesystem.md)).
+- extMethod RPCs for workspace-level status (`/workspace/mcp`, `/workspace/skills`, `/workspace/providers`) and MCP restart.
+- Lifecycle: graceful `shutdown()` with `KILL_HARD_DEADLINE_MS` (10s) per channel; synchronous `killAllSync()` for second-signal force-exit.

+
+**`isDying` invariant**: any teardown path must set `ChannelInfo.isDying = true` synchronously **before** awaiting `channel.kill()`. `ensureChannel` treats a dying channel as absent and spawns a fresh one. Without this flag a concurrent `spawnOrAttach` arriving during the SIGTERM grace window (up to 10s) would attach to a transport about to close and the caller's sessionId would 404 on every follow-up. **Set sites** (must keep in sync): `ensureChannel` (initialize failure + late-shutdown re-check), `doSpawn` (newSession failure on empty channel), `killSession` (last session leaving), `shutdown` (bulk).
+
+**`channelInfo` retention invariant**: do **not** clear `channelInfo` when setting `isDying = true`. `killAllSync` must still find the channel during the SIGTERM grace window to fire SIGKILL on `process.exit(1)`. `aliveChannels` holds the dying entry until `channel.exited` fires.
+
+**BridgeClient bounded buffering**: ACP `extNotification` frames arriving on `BridgeClient` for a sessionId not yet in `byId` (because `connection.newSession`'s response has not returned, but MCP discovery inside `newSession` already fired budget events) are buffered into an early-events queue bounded by `MAX_EARLY_EVENT_SESSIONS = 64` × `MAX_EARLY_EVENTS_PER_SESSION = 32` × `EARLY_EVENT_TTL_MS = 60_000`. The worst case is roughly 400 KB of heap. Without buffering, the first SSE replay-ring slot for a new session would be missing events that fired during its creation.

+        B->>B: build SessionEntry
register in byId / defaultEntry
+        B-->>R: {sessionId, attached: false}
+    end
+```
+
+Key points:
+
+- `sessionScope='single'` with an existing `defaultEntry` only bumps
+  `attachCount`, registers `clientId`, and returns `attached: true`.
+- The cold path runs the ChannelFactory, performs ACP `initialize`
+  (`DEFAULT_INIT_TIMEOUT_MS=10s`), calls `connection.newSession({cwd})`, then
+  registers the new `SessionEntry`.
+- `SessionLimitExceededError` is thrown when `byId.size >= maxSessions`.
+- `InvalidClientIdError` is thrown if `X-Qwen-Client-Id` is outside
+  `[A-Za-z0-9._:-]{1,128}`.
+- The disconnect-reaper in `server.ts` tracks the spawn owner via
+  `attachCount`/`spawnOwnerWantedKill` to avoid tearing down a session whose
+  spawn owner disconnected but other clients already attached (review #3889
+  BQ9tV).
+
+### Prompt serialization
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant R as Route
+    participant E as SessionEntry
+    participant Q as promptQueue (FIFO)
+    participant BC as BridgeClient
+    participant ACP as ACP child
+
+    R->>E: sendPrompt(sessionId, body, clientId)
+    E->>E: set activePromptOriginatorClientId = clientId
+    E->>Q: chain off resolved tail
+    Q->>BC: client.sendPrompt(sessionId, body)
+    BC->>ACP: ACP prompt JSON-RPC
+    ACP-->>BC: response (after potentially multiple requestPermission roundtrips)
+    BC-->>E: result
+    E->>E: clear activePromptOriginatorClientId
+    E-->>R: result
+```
+
+Failures at the queue tail are **swallowed** so that a prior prompt's rejection does not poison subsequent prompts; the original caller still receives the rejection on its own returned promise. The `transportClosedReject` cached on the session races the prompt promise against `channel.exited` so a crashed child surfaces immediately rather than hanging.
+
+### Permission flow (high-level)
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant ACP as ACP child (agent)
+    participant BC as BridgeClient.requestPermission
+    participant E as SessionEntry
+    participant M as Mediator
+    participant EB as EventBus
+
+    ACP->>BC: requestPermission(requestId, options)
+    BC->>E: record requestId in pendingPermissionIds
+    BC->>M: request({requestId, sessionId, originatorClientId, allowedOptionIds}, timeoutMs)
+    M->>EB: publish permission_request (fan-out to subscribers)
+    Note over M: waits for vote / timeout / cancel
+    M-->>BC: PermissionResolution
+    BC-->>ACP: RequestPermissionResponse (selected or cancelled)
+    BC->>E: clear requestId
+```
+
+`InvalidPermissionOptionError` is thrown pre-mediator when a wire vote tries to inject `CANCEL_VOTE_SENTINEL` via the normal `optionId` field — the sentinel is the bridge's only escape hatch to short-circuit a request as `cancelled / agent_cancelled` and must not be reachable from the wire by accident. See [`04-permission-mediation.md`](./04-permission-mediation.md).
+
+### Shutdown
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant Op as runQwenServe
+    participant B as Bridge
+    participant CHs as Channels
+    participant M as Mediator

+    Op->>B: shutdown()
+    B->>CHs: mark every ChannelInfo isDying = true (bulk)
+    B->>M: forgetSession for every sessionId (pending → cancelled/session_closed)
+    par per channel
+        B->>CHs: channel.kill() (await up to KILL_HARD_DEADLINE_MS = 10s)
+        CHs-->>B: exited
+    end
+    B-->>Op: done
+    Note over Op,B: Second signal → killAllSync()
(fire SIGKILL on every alive child synchronously)
+```
+
+## Channel factory
+
+`AcpChannel` (`channel.ts`) is the bridge's transport abstraction. Production uses `defaultSpawnChannelFactory` in `spawnChannel.ts`, which runs `qwen --acp` as a subprocess with a stdio pipe pair. Tests inject `inMemoryChannel` to run the agent in-process. The bridge knows nothing about the underlying mechanism — it only needs `{ stream, kill, killSync, exited }`.
+
+`ChannelFactory` accepts `childEnvOverrides` so each daemon handle can pass its own MCP-budget env vars (`QWEN_SERVE_MCP_CLIENT_BUDGET`, `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_BUDGET_MODE`) without mutating `process.env` (which would race when two embedded daemons run in the same Node process).
+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+- Bridge construction is synchronous; the first `spawnOrAttach` cold-starts the ACP child.
+- `defaultEntry` lives for the lifetime of the bridge under `sessionScope: 'single'`; the channel reaps when `sessionIds.size === 0` (after `killSession`) AND `isDying` flips true.
+- `MAX_EVENT_RING_SIZE = 1_000_000` is a soft upper bound on `BridgeOptions.eventRingSize` to catch operator typos before ~500 MB per-session OOMs.
+- `DEFAULT_PERMISSION_TIMEOUT_MS = 5 * 60 * 1000` keeps a wedged permission request from blocking the per-session `promptQueue` forever.
+- `DEFAULT_MAX_PENDING_PER_SESSION = 64` mirrors `DEFAULT_MAX_SUBSCRIBERS`; excess `requestPermission` calls resolve as cancelled with a stderr warning.

+## Additional bridge methods
+
+In addition to the core `spawnOrAttach`, `sendPrompt`, `cancelSession`,
+`respondToPermission`, `loadSession`, and `resumeSession` calls, the
+`HttpAcpBridge` interface now includes these daemon-facing helpers:
+
+| Method                                                       | Purpose                                       |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------- |
+| `generateSessionRecap(sessionId, context?)`                  | Generate a one-line session recap.            |
+| `generateSessionBtw(sessionId, question, signal?, context?)` | Answer a side question / btw prompt.          |
+| `executeShellCommand(sessionId, command, signal?, context?)` | Run a shell command on the daemon host.       |
+| `getSessionContextUsageStatus(sessionId, opts?)`             | Return context-window usage.                  |
+| `getSessionSupportedCommandsStatus(sessionId)`               | Return available slash commands.              |
+| `getSessionTasksStatus(sessionId)`                           | Return a background-task snapshot.            |
+| `getSessionStatsStatus(sessionId)`                           | Return session usage statistics.              |
+| `setSessionApprovalMode(sessionId, mode, opts, context?)`    | Update approval mode for a session.           |
+| `detachClient(sessionId, clientId?)`                         | Explicitly detach a client.                   |

+| `getWorkspaceMcpToolsStatus(serverName)`                     | Return tools for a specific MCP server.       |
+
+`BridgeSpawnRequest.sessionScope` was renamed from `'per-client'` to
+`'thread'`. `BridgeRestoredSession` now carries `compactedReplay`,
+`liveJournal`, and `lastEventId`. `BridgeClientRequestContext` is the request
+context threaded through bridge calls; it carries `clientId`,
+`fromLoopback: boolean`, and `promptId`.
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- `MCP_RESTART_TIMEOUT_MS = 300_000` (5 min) — the bridge timeout for `/workspace/mcp/:server/restart` is intentionally large because `McpClientManager.MAX_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS` can be up to 5 min for stdio servers. A shorter deadline would produce false timeouts while the ACP child kept reconnecting in the background.
+- `BridgeOptions.eventRingSize > 1_000_000` throws at construction.
+- `connection.unstable_resumeSession` is exposed through the stable `session_resume` daemon capability; `unstable_session_resume` remains advertised as a deprecated compatibility alias for older SDKs. Clients should feature-detect `session_resume`.
+- The bridge package is `@qwen-code/acp-bridge` and is consumed through re-export shims in `serve/event-bus.ts`, `serve/status.ts`, `serve/httpAcpBridge.ts` for backward compatibility with pre-F1 import paths. New code should import directly.

+# Multi-Client Permission Mediation
+
+## Overview
+
+When the ACP child's agent calls `requestPermission`, the daemon does not simply forward it to one client. Under `sessionScope: 'single'`, every connected client sees the request and any of them may respond. Without mediation, late votes have nowhere to go, two clients can race the same request, and a single rogue client can override the originator.
+
+`MultiClientPermissionMediator` (`packages/acp-bridge/src/permissionMediator.ts`) implements the `PermissionMediator` contract (`packages/acp-bridge/src/permission.ts`) and owns all pending and resolved permission state for the bridge. It dispatches votes through one of four policies declared in `PermissionPolicy`:
+
+| Policy            | Resolution rule                                                                                                        | Use case                                                                 |
+| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `first-responder` | First valid vote wins; later voters get `permission_already_resolved`.                                                 | Live cross-client collaboration UX (default).                            |
+| `designated`      | Only the prompt's `originatorClientId` may resolve; others see `permission_forbidden{designated_mismatch}`.            | Per-tenant SaaS where the UI surface must own its own approvals.         |
+| `consensus`       | N-of-M quorum across the v1 client-id snapshot; intermediate `permission_partial_vote` events let UIs render progress. | Enterprise change review where two operators must agree.                 |
+| `local-only`      | Refuses any non-loopback voter; blocks until a loopback client resolves.                                               | Workstations where remote control must never grant privilege escalation. |
+
+> **v1 security limit**: `X-Qwen-Client-Id` is self-reported. `designated` and
+> `consensus` do not yet have proof-of-possession. A client that observes
+> `originatorClientId` can reuse that id. `{outcome:'cancelled'}` also routes
+> through the cancel sentinel before policy dispatch, so even `local-only`
+> cannot treat cancel as a policy-protected resolve. For strong isolation, bind
+> the daemon to loopback or put it behind an authenticated reverse proxy. See
+> [Security note: v1 client identity is self-reported](#security-note-v1-client-identity-is-self-reported).
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Track every pending request (`request → vote → resolved` lifecycle).
+- Arm and disarm per-request wallclock timeouts (the **N1 invariant**: the timeout must be armed synchronously inside `request()` so an immediately cancelled session cannot leak a permanently pending closure).
+- Dispatch votes through the policy captured at `request()` time (changing daemon policy mid-flight does not affect in-flight requests).
+- Maintain a bounded FIFO (`MAX_RESOLVED_PERMISSION_RECORDS = 512`) of recently-resolved requests so duplicate votes get a structured `already_resolved` rather than `unknown_request`.
+- Emit `permission_partial_vote` (consensus) and `permission_forbidden` (designated / consensus / local-only) on the per-session EventBus.
+- Resolve pending requests as `{kind: 'cancelled', reason: 'session_closed'}` via `forgetSession(sessionId)` on session teardown.
+- Reject malicious or accidental injection of `CANCEL_VOTE_SENTINEL` through the wire (`InvalidPermissionOptionError`) and through agent-published option labels (`CancelSentinelCollisionError`).
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Public surface
+
+```ts
+interface PermissionMediator {
+  readonly policy: PermissionPolicy;
+  request(
+    record: PermissionRequestRecord,
+    timeoutMs: number,
+  ): Promise;
+  vote(vote: PermissionVote): PermissionVoteOutcome;
+  forgetSession(sessionId: string): void;
+}
+```
+
+`MultiClientPermissionMediator` adds: `peekSessionFor(requestId)`, `pendingCount(sessionId)`, internal audit publisher, etc. `BridgeClient` only depends on the `request()` half (structural sub-typing — see `bridgeClient.ts`).
+
+### `PermissionPolicy` and `PermissionVoteOutcome`
+
+```ts
+type PermissionPolicy =
+  | 'first-responder'
+  | 'designated'
+  | 'consensus'
+  | 'local-only';
+
+type PermissionVoteOutcome =
+  | { kind: 'resolved'; resolvedOptionId: string }
+  | { kind: 'recorded'; votesNeeded: number } // consensus partial
+  | { kind: 'already_resolved'; resolvedOptionId: string }
+  | { kind: 'forbidden'; reason: 'designated_mismatch' | 'remote_not_allowed' }
+  | { kind: 'unknown_request' };
+
+type PermissionResolution =
+  | { kind: 'option'; optionId: string }
+  | {
+      kind: 'cancelled';
+      reason: 'timeout' | 'session_closed' | 'agent_cancelled';
+    };
+```
+
+### Cancel sentinel
+
+`CANCEL_VOTE_SENTINEL = '__cancelled__'`. The bridge maps voter `{outcome:'cancelled'}` to this sentinel **before** calling `mediator.vote`. The mediator routes the sentinel **before** policy dispatch — voter-cancel works under every policy regardless of `clientId` / loopback / membership. Two guards:
+
+1. **`bridge.ts`** rejects wire votes whose `optionId === CANCEL_VOTE_SENTINEL` with `InvalidPermissionOptionError` (a malicious wire client must not be able to inject cancel by lying about an `optionId`).
+2. **`mediator.request`** rejects records whose `allowedOptionIds` contains the sentinel with `CancelSentinelCollisionError` (an agent legitimately publishing `'__cancelled__'` as an option label must not be able to masquerade).
+
+This deliberate cross-policy escape is documented at `permissionMediator.ts` so a future maintainer does not accidentally remove the bypass.
+
+### Pending state
+
+Each pending request is keyed by `requestId` and carries:
+
+- `policy` — captured at `request()` time.
+- `record: PermissionRequestRecord` (requestId, sessionId, originatorClientId, allowedOptionIds, issuedAtMs).
+- `resolve` / `reject` closures.
+- `votesAtIssue` (consensus only) — snapshot of registered `clientIds` for the session at issue time; later votes are rejected if not in this set.
+- `tally` (consensus only) — `Map>` counting votes per option.
+- `timeoutHandle` — Node timeout armed inside `request()` (N1 invariant).
+- `auditTrail[]` — per-vote audit records.
+
+### Resolved FIFO
+
+`MAX_RESOLVED_PERMISSION_RECORDS = 512`. Eviction is FIFO via `resolvedOrder.shift()` (DeepSeek review #4335 / 3271627446 — mirrors `PermissionAuditRing`). Stores only `{requestId, sessionId, outcome}`, so 512 records stay under 100 KB across normal UI reconnect/race windows.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### `request()` (N1 invariant)
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A["BridgeClient.requestPermission(record, timeoutMs)"] --> B{"allowedOptionIds.has(SENTINEL)?"}
+    B -->|yes| C["throw CancelSentinelCollisionError"]
+    B -->|no| D["capture policy, snapshot votersAtIssue (consensus)"]
+    D --> E["new Promise: store resolve/reject"]
+    E --> F["arm setTimeout(timeoutMs) → resolve {cancelled, timeout}"]
+    F --> G["pending.set(requestId, entry)"]
+    G --> H["emit audit 'permission.requested'"]
+    H --> I["return Promise to bridge"]
+```
+
+The timer is armed **before** the entry is even visible elsewhere. Without this, a `forgetSession` arriving between `pending.set` and `setTimeout` would leave the entry pending with no timeout — the bridge's per-session `promptQueue` would hang forever.
+
+### `vote()` dispatch
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    V["vote({requestId, sessionId, clientId?, optionId, receivedAtMs, fromLoopback})"] --> E{"pending entry exists?"}
+    E -->|no| RD{"in resolved FIFO?"}
+    RD -->|yes| AR["return {already_resolved, resolvedOptionId}"]
+    RD -->|no| UR["return {unknown_request}"]

+    DG -->|no| FOR["emit permission_forbidden{designated_mismatch}; return forbidden"]
+    DG -->|yes| FRR["resolve {option, optionId}; remember"]
+    POL -->|consensus| CN{"clientId in votersAtIssue?"}
+    CN -->|no| FORC["emit permission_forbidden{designated_mismatch}; return forbidden"]

+    POL -->|local-only| LO{"fromLoopback?"}
+    LO -->|no| FORL["emit permission_forbidden{remote_not_allowed}; return forbidden"]
+    LO -->|yes| RESL["resolve {option, optionId}; remember"]
+```
+
+### `forgetSession()`
+
+Called on session close, eviction, and bridge shutdown. For every pending entry whose `record.sessionId === sessionId`:
+
+1. Cancel the timeout.
+2. Resolve the pending Promise with `{kind: 'cancelled', reason: 'session_closed'}`.
+3. Append an audit record.
+4. Remove from `pending`.
+
+The bridge's session-teardown path always calls `forgetSession` **before** the channel-kill window so pending permissions do not outlive their session.
+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+- `policy` is captured per-request. Changing daemon-wide policy (future surface) does not affect in-flight requests.
+- `votesAtIssue` (consensus) is captured at `request()` time; clients that arrive after the request can vote, but if their `clientId` was not already registered with the session at issue time, their vote is rejected as `designated_mismatch`. This intentionally reuses the `designated` policy's mismatch reason to keep the contract closed; future versions may split the union if SDK consumers need to distinguish.
+- Resolved entries live in the FIFO for at most `MAX_RESOLVED_PERMISSION_RECORDS` (512). After eviction a duplicate vote on the same `requestId` returns `{unknown_request}`.
+- `permission_partial_vote` only fires for `consensus`. Don't depend on it under any other policy.
+- `permission_forbidden` fires for `designated`, `consensus`, and `local-only` — not `first-responder`.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- [`03-acp-bridge.md`](./03-acp-bridge.md) — how the bridge wires `BridgeClient.requestPermission` to `mediator.request`.
+- [`10-event-bus.md`](./10-event-bus.md) — how partial-vote and forbidden frames reach clients.
+- [`09-event-schema.md`](./09-event-schema.md) — payload contracts for `permission_*` events.
+- [`08-session-lifecycle.md`](./08-session-lifecycle.md) — `forgetSession()` is called on every session termination.
+- [`02-serve-runtime.md`](./02-serve-runtime.md) — `PermissionAuditRing` (512-entry FIFO of audit records).

+| Source              | Knob                                                                                                   | Effect                                |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
+| `settings.json`     | `policy.permissionStrategy`                                                                            | Active mediator policy.               |
+| `settings.json`     | `policy.consensusQuorum`                                                                               | N for consensus.                      |
+| `BridgeOptions`     | `permissionPolicy`, `permissionConsensusQuorum`, `permissionAudit`                                     | Programmatic override.                |
+| Capability tag      | `permission_mediation` (always; `modes: ['first-responder', 'designated', 'consensus', 'local-only']`) | Build-supported set.                  |
+| Capability envelope | `policy.permission`                                                                                    | Active policy this daemon is running. |
+
+If `policy.permissionStrategy` is not explicitly configured, the daemon uses
+`first-responder`. `designated`, `consensus`, and `local-only` only take effect
+when set in `settings.json`.
+
+## Consensus quorum: default formula and the M=2 edge
+
+When the `consensus` policy is active and `policy.consensusQuorum` is not set,
+the mediator computes **N = floor(M/2) + 1** via `consensusQuorumFor` in
+`permissionMediator.ts`:
+
+```ts
+Math.max(1, Math.floor(m / 2) + 1);
+```
+
+| M (`votersAtIssue.size`) | Default N | Behavior                        |
+| ------------------------ | --------- | ------------------------------- |
+| 1                        | 1         | One voter resolves immediately. |
+| 2                        | 2         | Requires unanimous agreement.   |
+| 3                        | 2         | Majority.                       |
+| 4                        | 3         | More than half.                 |
+| 5                        | 3         | Majority.                       |
+| 6                        | 4         | More than half.                 |
+
+For **M = 2**, split votes (A selects X, B selects Y) can only be resolved by
+the per-permission timeout: no option reaches unanimity, so the request waits
+until `permissionResponseTimeoutMs` (default 5 min) and resolves as
+`{cancelled, timeout}`. The vote-advance path logs this "unanimity means split
+votes time out" behavior to stderr for operators.
+
+Operators who want first-vote-wins behavior for M = 2 can explicitly set
+`policy.consensusQuorum: 1`. Stricter configurations, such as requiring
+unanimity for M = 4, use the same field.
+
+## Boot-time policy validation
+
+`runQwenServe.validatePolicyConfig(policyConfig)`
+(`packages/cli/src/serve/run-qwen-serve.ts`) validates merged `settings.json`
+`policy.*` at boot and throws `InvalidPolicyConfigError` for operator mistakes:
+
+- `policy.permissionStrategy` is set but not in the four supported modes. The
+  valid set is derived at runtime from
+  `SERVE_CAPABILITY_REGISTRY.permission_mediation.modes`, the single source of
+  truth for capability advertisement.
+- `policy.consensusQuorum` is set but is not a positive integer.
+
+There is also a soft stderr warning when `consensusQuorum` is set while
+`permissionStrategy !== 'consensus'`; the override would otherwise be silently
+ignored under non-consensus policies.
+
+`InvalidPolicyConfigError` is exported for `instanceof` tests. `runQwenServe`
+uses it to distinguish operator misconfiguration, which is rethrown as an
+explicit boot failure, from settings read I/O failures, which fall back to
+defaults.
+
+## Security note: v1 client identity is self-reported
+
+`X-Qwen-Client-Id` is supplied by the HTTP client. In v1, the daemon validates
+the format (`[A-Za-z0-9._:-]{1,128}`) and tracks attached client ids in
+`clientIds`, but it does not perform proof-of-possession. Any client that can
+observe `originatorClientId` in SSE can register with the same id and
+impersonate that originator in later requests.
+
+Policy impact:
+
+- **`first-responder`** is unaffected because it does not depend on identity.
+- **`designated`** can be spoofed by a remote client reusing
+  `originatorClientId`.
+- **`consensus`** gates on the issue-time `votersAtIssue` snapshot; if a spoofed
+  id is already attached when the request is issued, it can vote.
+- **`local-only`** is immune to id spoofing because `fromLoopback: boolean` is
+  stamped by the daemon from the connection remote address, not supplied by the
+  client.
+
+A future pair-token mechanism will issue a per-session secret from
+`POST /session` and require it on `designated` / `consensus` votes. That
+mechanism does not exist in v1.
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits

+- **Cancel sentinel routes BEFORE policy dispatch** by design — a `local-only` daemon and a `consensus` daemon can both be cancelled by any voter who posts `{outcome: 'cancelled'}`. This is documented at `permissionMediator.ts` and is the agent-side abort path.
+- **`designated` and `consensus` overload `designated_mismatch`** in `PermissionVoteOutcome`. The mediator emits separate audit records but the wire shape is single. Future protocol versions may split the union.
+- **Anonymous voters (no `X-Qwen-Client-Id`)** are accepted under `first-responder` and `local-only` (loopback) only; `designated` and `consensus` reject them.
+- **Cross-policy escape hatch** means cancel cannot be gated by policy. If a deployment needs policy-gated cancel that would be a future contract change — do not paper-over with route-level checks.
+- **`votesAtIssue` snapshot semantics** mean a consensus deployment with a churning client set can have legitimate clients rejected because they connected after the request was issued. Operators should pre-register collaborator client ids before issuing change-review prompts.

+# Workspace MCP Transport Pool
+
+## Overview
+
+`McpTransportPool` (`packages/core/src/tools/mcp-transport-pool.ts`) is the F2 (#4175 commit 5) workspace-scoped pool: multiple ACP sessions on one daemon share one transport per unique `(serverName + configFingerprint)` tuple, instead of each spawning its own MCP child process. The pool lives **inside the ACP child** (`QwenAgent.mcpPool`), is constructed once at agent startup with the daemon's bootstrap `Config`, and survives session lifecycles. Entries reference-count session attaches and close after a configurable grace period when the reference count reaches zero.
+
+It is the main mechanism that prevents a multi-session daemon from forking one copy of every MCP server per session.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Acquire or spawn one MCP transport per `(name + fingerprint)`, deduplicating concurrent acquires via `spawnInFlight`.
+- Release per-session references; arm the entry's drain timer when the last reference detaches.
+- Survive ref-count churn with a hard `MAX_IDLE_MS` cap so a thrashing client cannot keep an idle transport alive forever.
+- Reference-count sessions in a reverse index (`sessionToEntries`) so `releaseSession(sessionId)` is O(refs) rather than O(entries).
+- Restart entries on demand (`restartByName`) — single-entry returns `{restarted, durationMs}`, multi-entry returns `{entries: RestartResult[]}` (F2 multi-entry contract).
+- Drain the entire pool on daemon shutdown with a configurable timeout; refuse new acquires while draining.
+- Consult `WorkspaceMcpBudget` (see [`06-mcp-budget-guardrails.md`](./06-mcp-budget-guardrails.md)) on `acquire` to enforce per-name reservation caps; release the slot on entry close when no sibling entry holds the same name.
+- Produce per-session filtered tool/prompt snapshots via `SessionMcpView` so a discovery in one session does not register tools into other sessions.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Public surface
+
+```ts
+class McpTransportPool {
+  constructor(cliConfig: Config, options: McpTransportPoolOptions);
+  acquire(
+    serverName,
+    cfg,
+    sessionId,
+    sessionToolRegistry,
+    sessionPromptRegistry,
+  ): Promise;
+  release(id, sessionId): void;
+  releaseSession(sessionId): void;
+  restartByName(
+    name,
+    opts?,
+  ): Promise;
+  drainAll(opts?): Promise;
+  getBudget(): WorkspaceMcpBudget | undefined;
+  getSnapshot(): McpPoolSnapshot;
+}
+```
+
+`McpTransportPoolOptions`:
+
+- `workspaceContext: WorkspaceContext` (required).
+- `debugMode: boolean`.
+- `sendSdkMcpMessage?` — per-session callback (pool bypasses SDK MCP).
+- `pooledTransports?: ReadonlySet` — default `{stdio, websocket}`. HTTP/SSE transports stay unpooled by default because their headers can carry session-specific OAuth state, but operators can explicitly opt them into pooling with `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_POOL_TRANSPORTS`.
+- `drainDelayMs?` — default `30_000`.
+- `entryOptions?: (transport) => PoolEntryOptions`.
+- `budget?: WorkspaceMcpBudget`.

+    | { kind: 'exponential'; baseMs: number; capMs: number };
+}
+```
+
+`defaultPoolEntryOptions(transport)` (`mcp-pool-entry.ts`) returns stdio/ws defaults `{fixed 5s, 3 attempts}` and http/sse defaults `{exponential 1s → 16s, 5 attempts}`. Remote transports get longer retry budgets because their failures are more often transient.

+```
+
+`hasNameSibling(name)` (`mcp-transport-pool.ts`) iterates both `entries.values()` and `spawnInFlight.keys()` parsing the latter with `parseConnectionId` (server names can legitimately contain `::`, so `startsWith` would false-positive on a sibling name beginning with `${name}::`).
+
+`releaseSession(sessionId)` reads from `sessionToEntries`, releases all referenced entries in O(refs), then clears the index entry. Used by the bridge's session-close path so it does not iterate the full entry map.
+
+### `restartByName`
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant Op as POST /workspace/mcp/:server/restart

+        P->>P: gather all entries with matching name

+    else multi-entry
+        P-->>Op: {entries: [{restarted, durationMs, entryIndex}, ...]}
+    end
+```
+
+The preflight budget check at the daemon HTTP layer returns `{restarted:false, skipped:true, reason:'budget_would_exceed'}` (Wave 4 mutation control) when the target's slot is not already reserved and a restart would push live count over `enforce` budget.
+

+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+- Pool construction is synchronous; first `acquire` cold-starts a transport.
+- `drainDelayMs` (default 30s) is reset to cancellation on attach.
+- `maxIdleMs` (default 5 min) is **never** reset by attach/detach — it starts ticking at the FIRST idle and only stops when the entry actually closes or attaches before the deadline. Defense against thrashing clients.
+- `nextIndexByName` is monotonic. Old entries keep their assigned index even after newer ones appear, so dashboards reading `entryIndex` do not reshuffle.
+- Spawn failure releases the reserved budget slot (V21-4 — without this, a cold spawn that crashed mid-connect would leak the reservation forever).
+

+## Configuration
+
+| Source                        | Knob                                                            | Effect                                                                                                    |
+| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Env                           | `QWEN_SERVE_NO_MCP_POOL=1`                                      | Kill switch — `QwenAgent.mcpPool` stays undefined; per-session `McpClientManager` enforces (pre-F2 path). |
+| Flag                          | `--mcp-client-budget=N`, `--mcp-budget-mode={off,warn,enforce}` | Forwarded to ACP child via `childEnvOverrides`; child constructs `WorkspaceMcpBudget` and passes to pool. |
+| Capability tags (conditional) | `mcp_workspace_pool`, `mcp_pool_restart`                        | Advertised together when pool is on. SDK pre-flights both to branch on pool-aware response shapes.        |
+
+### Unpooled entries (HTTP / SSE / SDK-MCP)
+
+Transports outside the configured `pooledTransports` allowlist (HTTP, SSE, and SDK-MCP by default) take a separate path: `createUnpooledConnection(name, cfg, sessionId, ...)` (`mcp-transport-pool.ts`) creates a per-session entry with id `${name}::unpooled-${entryIndex}`. Differences from pooled entries:
+
+- Stored in `entries` AND tracked in `unpooledIds: Set` so `release` / `releaseSession` can fast-path the close-on-detach behavior (refs always max out at 1).
+- `McpClient.discover()` is used directly instead of pool replay; `applyTools` / `applyPrompts` are no-ops because the session's registries already hold what was registered (W77 / `skipReplay: true` in `attach()`).
+- Workspace budget still gates them — the F2 budget follow-up closed the prior loophole where unpooled connections bypassed `tryReserve`; the same `WorkspaceMcpBudget` slot is reserved and released on entry close (whether pooled or unpooled).
+
+The W77 race (`cb206da36`): `createUnpooledConnection` stores the entry in `this.entries` BEFORE awaiting `client.connect()` / `client.discover()`, but only indexes `sessionToEntries[sessionId]` AFTER `attach()` succeeds. A concurrent `closeStoredSession()` / `releaseSession(sessionId)` during the connect/discover window saw an empty index, let the unpooled spawn finish, and `attach()` then registered tools/prompts into an already-closed session. The fix:
+
+- `mcp-pool-entry.ts`: public `isTerminated(): boolean` probe (`state === 'closed' || state === 'failed'`).
+- `mcp-pool-entry.ts`: `markActive()` short-circuits if `isTerminated()` so a torn-down entry cannot be resurrected to `'active'`.
+- Callers (the pool's unpooled path) probe `isTerminated()` between the awaits and abort the attach if the parent session went away.
+
+This race was latent at the time (the W61/W71 per-session `releaseSession` hooks land in F4), but would become live the moment that hook arrived. The fix was applied early in the F2 series.
+
+## `GET /workspace/mcp` pool-aware snapshot fields
+
+When the pool is active, each `ServeWorkspaceMcpStatus` server cell
+(`packages/acp-bridge/src/status.ts`) includes three additional fields:
+
+| Field            | Type                                        | Purpose                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `disabledReason` | `'config' \| 'budget'`                      | Distinguishes operator-disabled servers (`disabled: true` from `disabledMcpServers`) from budget refusal (`status: 'error', errorKind: 'budget_exhausted'`). Dashboards can render one server row without cross-reading `errors[]` or `budgets[]`.                                                                                            |
+| `entryCount`     | `number` (`>=1`)                            | In pool mode a workspace can have multiple `PoolEntry` instances with the same name when sessions inject different fingerprints such as per-session OAuth headers. This field is absent when `QWEN_SERVE_NO_MCP_POOL=1` disables the pool. New clients render an "N entries" badge when `entryCount > 1`.                                     |
+| `entrySummary`   | `ReadonlyArray<{entryIndex, refs, status}>` | Per-entry breakdown. `entryIndex` is the stable opaque integer assigned when the entry was created; it is not the raw fingerprint, so snapshot diffs do not leak OAuth or env rotation timing. `refs` is the current attached-session count. `status` lets dashboards show per-entry health while aggregate `mcpStatus` is already connected. |
+
+`(entryCount, entrySummary)` are always broadcast as a pair. The
+`mcp_workspace_pool` capability tag implies both fields. Older SDK clients
+ignore them under the additive protocol contract.
+
+Pool snapshots also expose `subprocessCount`. It counts only the `'stdio'`
+family. WebSocket, HTTP, and SSE transports connect to remote servers and do
+not spawn local child processes. Early versions counted WebSocket transports as
+local subprocesses, which inflated resource dashboards.
+
+## Drain runs from both shutdown paths
+
+Pool drain is not limited to the SIGTERM handler. The normal IDE shutdown path
+(`await connection.closed`) also calls `drainAll` via
+`packages/cli/src/acp-integration/acpAgent.ts`'s `drainPoolBeforeExit`. Whether
+the daemon receives a process signal or the IDE closes its connection cleanly,
+the pool enters `draining`, refuses new acquires, and waits for entries to
+close.
+
+## `/mcp refresh` shares the boot discovery path
+
+`discoverAllMcpTools` (boot discovery) and
+`discoverAllMcpToolsIncremental` (`/mcp refresh` / hot reload) both consult the
+pool first in pool mode (`packages/core/src/tools/mcp-client-manager.ts`). The
+shared gate prevents hot reload from accidentally creating a per-session
+client, double-counting budget, or leaving an orphan transport behind.
+
+## In-flight tool calls during reconnect (`MCPCallInterruptedError`)
+
+When the underlying MCP transport silently disconnects (the connection jumps
+from `'active'` / `'draining'` to `localStatus === DISCONNECTED` without an
+explicit close), the pool marks the entry `'failed'`, evicts it from
+`pool.entries`, and emits the `failed` event before detaching subscriber views.
+That emit-before-detach order matters: subscribers receive the `failed` event
+soon enough to route pending `callTool` promises to
+`MCPCallInterruptedError`, so a stuck `await client.callTool(...)` rejects
+cleanly instead of hanging. `forceShutdown` uses the same emit-then-detach
+ordering.
+
+## Fingerprint and `canonicalOAuth` normalization
+
+The pool key comes from `fingerprint(cfg)` in `mcp-pool-key.ts`. The hash covers
+all transport-defining fields:
+
+> `transport, command, args, cwd, env, url, httpUrl, tcp, headers, timeout, oauth`
+
+Per-session filtering and metadata fields (`includeTools`, `excludeTools`,
+`trust`, `description`, `extensionName`, `discoveryTimeoutMs`) are excluded, so
+sessions with different filters can share one entry.
+
+For the OAuth cell, `canonicalOAuth(o)` hashes every `MCPOAuthConfig` field:
+`clientId`, `clientSecret`, sorted `scopes`, sorted `audiences`,
+`authorizationUrl`, `tokenUrl`, `redirectUri`, `tokenParamName`, and
+`registrationUrl`. This is the credential-isolation contract: two session
+configs that differ only by `clientSecret`, `audiences`, or `redirectUri` get
+different fingerprints and cannot share one entry. Confidential clients and
+multi-audience token deployments depend on this.
+
+Sorting `scopes` and `audiences` makes callsite order irrelevant. Explicit
+`null` is normalized so undefined fields hash the same as explicit null. The
+key does not include `discoveryTimeoutMs`; concurrent acquire calls with the
+same key but different timeouts are "first wins", matching the pre-F2
+per-session manager behavior.
+
+`PoolEntry` keeps `cfg: MCPServerConfig` private. External code must use the
+`entry.transportKind` getter when it needs the transport family. That prevents
+env, header auth, and OAuth fields from leaking to consumers by accident.
+
+## Extension unloads rely on `MAX_IDLE_MS`
+
+There is intentionally no active cleanup path for unloading an MCP extension at
+runtime. Orphan entries whose `MCPServerConfig` no longer appears in the merged
+workspace settings are reclaimed naturally by the `MAX_IDLE_MS` hard cap after
+the last subscriber detaches. A synchronous unload-cleanup path would add
+complexity for a rare operator edge case; the hard cap limits orphan process
+lifetime past the unload point to 5 minutes by default.
+
+Operators who need faster cleanup can restart the daemon or call
+`POST /workspace/mcp/:server/restart` for the now-unconfigured name, which goes
+through the disabled-server path and tears the entry down.
+
+## Self-heal observability
+
+The pool emits two structured diagnostics on the self-heal path:
+
+**`McpClient.lastTransportError: Error | undefined`** (`packages/core/src/tools/mcp-client.ts`) — `McpClient.onerror` stores the most recent transport exception in a private field and clears it at `connect()` entry. The `PoolEntry` silent-drop path reads `client.getLastTransportError()` and includes it in `emit({kind:'failed', lastError})`, so subscribers and dashboards do not have to grep stderr for root cause.
+
+**`SweepResult`** (internal interface, not exported; `packages/core/src/tools/mcp-pool-entry.ts`) — `sweepAndDisconnect(reason)` returns `Promise`:
+
+```ts
+interface SweepResult {
+  pidSweepError?: Error; // listDescendantPids itself threw
+  descendantsFound?: number; // descendant pid count found
+  descendantsSignaled?: number; // successfully SIGTERM'd count
+}
+```
+
+The only consumer is the silent-drop block in `statusChangeListener`. It uses
+`descendantsFound` / `descendantsSignaled` to detect partial-signal cases
+(fewer processes signaled than found, usually because a process exited or EPERM
+occurred between `listDescendantPids` and `sigtermPids`) and sweep errors, then
+logs a structured warning. `forceShutdown` and `doRestart` ignore this return
+value because their catch paths already carry richer failure signals.
+
+## Subprocess cleanup: the `pid-descendants` snapshot path
+
+When `McpTransportPool` shuts down stdio subprocesses, it has to enumerate their
+descendant processes; `npx` wrappers and shell wrappers can create multiple fork
+levels. `packages/core/src/tools/pid-descendants.ts` exposes
+`listDescendantPids(rootPid) → Promise` and `sigtermPids(pids)` for
+`sweepAndDisconnect`.
+
+### Linux / macOS primary path
+
+A single `ps -A -o pid=,ppid=` snapshot reads the process table, parses it into
+`Map`, then `walkDescendants(tree, root)` performs BFS to extract
+the subtree. Any depth requires only one `ps` fork.
+
+`walkDescendants` maintains `visited: Set` and includes `root` in the
+set to defend against PID-reuse cycles. Under fast process churn, the snapshot
+can theoretically contain A→B / B→A loops. Without `visited`, the walker could
+fill the `MAX_DESCENDANTS` quota with bogus data and crowd out real descendants.
+
+### Windows primary path
+
+A single `Get-CimInstance Win32_Process | ConvertTo-Csv -Delimiter ","`
+snapshot emits all `(ProcessId, ParentProcessId)` rows, then the same `Map` and
+`walkDescendants` path runs.
+
+The explicit `-Delimiter ","` is required. PowerShell 5.1, which ships with
+Windows, defaults `ConvertTo-Csv` to the system locale list separator; DE, FR,
+NL, IT, and similar locales use `;`, so the pre-fix parser
+`^"(\d+)","(\d+)"$` never matched and every daemon shutdown fell back to the
+per-pid CIM filter path, adding roughly 0.5-1s of PowerShell startup cost per
+child.
+
+### Fallback path
+
+BusyBox ``, and Windows uses
+`Get-CimInstance -Filter "ParentProcessId=$p"` where `$p` is a PowerShell
+variable binding rather than string concatenation. The current
+`Number.isInteger` guard is sufficient for the entry point; the binding is
+defense-in-depth.
+
+### Shared constraints
+
+Both paths are bounded by `MAX_DESCENDANTS = 256` and `MAX_DEPTH = 8` to keep a
+malicious or degenerate process tree from dragging down sweep.
+
+The snapshot path uses `maxBuffer: 8MB`, enough for pathological hosts with
+about 250k processes. Node's default 1MB buffer can truncate child-process
+output around 30k processes.
+
+The performance gain is intentionally modest (typical 200-500 process dev
+machines parse in under 10ms, around 2x faster than per-pid `pgrep`). The main
+benefit is fork hygiene and snapshot consistency: BFS sees the full subtree at
+once, while the previous per-pid query path could miss a grandchild forked
+between two queries.
+
+## Embedder note: `McpClientManager` constructor
+
+`McpClientManager` is constructed as
+`(config, toolRegistry, options?: McpClientManagerOptions)`. Embedders that
+import the class directly should pass:
+
+```ts
+new McpClientManager(config, toolRegistry, {
+  eventEmitter,
+  sendSdkMcpMessage,
+  healthConfig,
+  budgetConfig,
+  pool,
+});
+```
+
+Tests should prefer an `mkManager(overrides?)` factory so cases that care about
+one or two fields stay one line.
+
+## Implementation notes
+
+These helpers are internal, but source readers may see them:
+
+- `McpTransportPool.acquire()` uses `attachPooledSession` and `rollbackReservationOnSpawnFailure` to share fast-path attach, post-spawn attach, and pooled spawn-in-flight catch behavior. Runtime behavior is unchanged; race-window invariants still live at the call sites.
+- `SessionMcpView.applyTools` / `applyPrompts` compile `includeTools` / `excludeTools` once via `compileNameFilter(cfg)` and check each tool with `compiledFilterAccepts(compiled, name)`. Exported `passesSessionFilter` / `passesSessionPromptFilter` use the same compiled path. `excludeTools` is exact-match; `includeTools` strips the first `(...)` suffix so `toolName(args)` matches `toolName`.
+
+Design document: [`../../design/f2-mcp-transport-pool.md`](../../design/f2-mcp-transport-pool.md) §6 covers the transport pool state machine, reconnect, drain, and descendant sweep paths.
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- **HTTP / SSE transports are unpooled by default** — unless operators explicitly include them in `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_POOL_TRANSPORTS`, each acquire mints a fresh entry that lives only as long as its session. Their headers may carry session-specific OAuth state, so pooling them by default would risk leaking credentials across sessions.
+- **`maxIdleMs` is a hard cap that survives attach/detach churn.** A 5-minute idle hard cap means even an aggressively attaching/detaching client cannot keep an idle transport pinned past 5 minutes. Operators who want pinned long-lived transports should increase `maxIdleMs` or run the server outside the pool.
+- **Per-server-name budget slots** mean two pool entries that share a name but differ by fingerprint consume ONE slot together, not two. Subprocess accounting is exposed separately via `pool.getSnapshot().subprocessCount`.
+- **`startsWith` regression** was avoided in `hasNameSibling` because MCP server names can legitimately contain `::` (`mcp-pool-key.test.ts`). Always use `parseConnectionId`'s `lastIndexOf('::')` split, never string-prefix matching.
+- **Pool draining is one-way** — `drainAll` sets `draining = true` permanently; a fresh pool is required for further work.

+# MCP Workspace Budget Guardrails
+
+## Overview
+
+`WorkspaceMcpBudget` (`packages/core/src/tools/mcp-workspace-budget.ts`) is the workspace-scoped MCP client budget controller from F2 (#4175 commit 6). It owns the same state machine `McpClientManager` carries inline (slot reservation, 75% hysteresis warning, refused-batch coalescing across a `discoverAllMcpTools*` pass), but lives **once per workspace** inside `McpTransportPool` instead of once per session inside each ACP child's manager. The pool delegates `acquire` and `release` calls here so the cap applies to the **workspace**, not each session.
+
+The legacy `McpClientManager` budget machinery stays for standalone qwen and SDK MCP servers (which bypass the pool per commit 4 fix). Pool mode → `WorkspaceMcpBudget` enforces; standalone / SDK MCP → manager's inline machinery enforces. No double counting because pool-mode discovery never calls the manager's `tryReserveSlot`.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Track `reservedSlots: Set` of currently-held server NAMES (slot key is per-NAME, matching PR 14 v1).
+- `tryReserve(name) → 'reserved' | 'already_held' | 'refused'` — atomic and synchronous so concurrent `Promise.all` acquires cannot pass the cap at an await boundary.
+- `release(name) → boolean` — idempotent (`Set.delete` semantics).
+- Fire `mcp_budget_warning` once on upward 75% crossing of `reservedSlots.size / clientBudget`; re-arm only after a 37.5% downward crossing.
+- Coalesce per-server refusals across a bulk discovery pass — `beginBulkPass()` / `endBulkPass()` brackets accumulate refusals into a single `mcp_child_refused_batch` event.
+- Maintain `lastRefusedServerNames` for snapshot consumers (`GET /workspace/mcp`) — cleared at the START of the next bulk pass, NOT on emit, so a snapshot between passes still sees the last refusal set.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Configuration
+
+```ts
+new WorkspaceMcpBudget({
+  clientBudget?: number,           // undefined = unlimited
+  mode: 'off' | 'warn' | 'enforce',
+  onEvent?: (event: McpBudgetEvent) => void,
+});
+```
+
+`mode` semantics:
+
+- `off` — every method no-ops; `tryReserve` returns `'reserved'` unconditionally; no events fire.
+- `warn` — slots are tracked and `mcp_budget_warning` fires at 75%, but `tryReserve` NEVER refuses.
+- `enforce` — `tryReserve` refuses past `clientBudget`; `recordRefusal` queues per-server refusals; `endBulkPass` emits `mcp_child_refused_batch`.
+
+### Constants from `mcp-client-manager.ts`
+
+- `MCP_BUDGET_WARN_FRACTION = 0.75` — upward threshold.
+- `MCP_BUDGET_REARM_FRACTION = 0.375` — downward hysteresis re-arm.
+- `McpBudgetMode = 'off' | 'warn' | 'enforce'`.
+
+### Internal state
+
+| State                                              | Purpose                                                                                                      |
+| -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `reservedSlots: Set`                       | Authoritative reservation set; hysteresis evaluates `size / clientBudget`.                                   |
+| `pendingRefusalNames: Set`                 | Refusal names accumulated during the current `beginBulkPass`/`endBulkPass` window; drained on `endBulkPass`. |
+| `pendingRefusalTransports: Map` | Sidecar so the emitted batch carries each refused server's transport.                                        |
+| `lastRefusedServerNames: readonly string[]`        | Snapshot-visible refusal list from the most recent completed pass. Cleared at the start of the next pass.    |
+| `warnArmed: boolean`                               | Hysteresis state — true = ready to fire, false = already fired since last 37.5% drain.                       |
+| `bulkPassDepth: number`                            | Re-entrancy counter for nested bulk passes (nested passes must not double-emit).                             |
+
+## Workflow
+
+### `tryReserve`
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A["tryReserve(serverName)"] --> B{"reservedSlots.has(name)?"}
+    B -->|yes| AH["return 'already_held'"]
+    B -->|no| C{"budget undefined OR mode == 'off'?"}
+    C -->|yes| R["return 'reserved'"]
+    C -->|no| D{"mode == 'enforce' AND size >= budget?"}
+    D -->|yes| RF["return 'refused'"]
+    D -->|no| ADD["reservedSlots.add(name)"]
+    ADD --> EV["evaluateState() (hysteresis check)"]
+    EV --> R2["return 'reserved'"]
+```
+
+`tryReserve` is **synchronous**. Pool's `acquire` is async, but reservation happens before any `await`, so two concurrent `Promise.all` acquires for different names cannot both pass the cap.
+
+### Hysteresis
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    EV["evaluateState() called after every mutation"] --> R["ratio = reservedSlots.size / clientBudget"]
+    R --> U{"warnArmed && ratio >= 0.75?"}
+    U -->|yes| FIRE["fire mcp_budget_warning; warnArmed = false"]
+    U -->|no| D{"!warnArmed && ratio < 0.375?"}
+    D -->|yes| ARM["warnArmed = true"]
+    D -->|no| NOOP[no-op]
+```
+
+Hysteresis avoids repeated warnings when a workload oscillates around 75%. The first crossing fires; subsequent crossings without dropping to 37.5% do not.
+
+### Refused-batch coalescing
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant POOL as pool.discoverAllMcpToolsViaPool
+    participant BDG as WorkspaceMcpBudget
+    participant EB as EventBus
+
+    POOL->>BDG: beginBulkPass()
+    BDG->>BDG: bulkPassDepth++
clear lastRefusedServerNames if outermost
+    loop per server in pass
+        POOL->>BDG: tryReserve(name)
+        alt refused
+            POOL->>BDG: recordRefusal(name, transport)
+            BDG->>BDG: pendingRefusalNames.add; pendingRefusalTransports.set
+            Note over BDG: NO event yet (coalesce)
+        end
+    end
+    POOL->>BDG: endBulkPass()
+    BDG->>BDG: bulkPassDepth--
+    alt outermost (depth == 0) AND pending non-empty
+        BDG->>EB: emit mcp_child_refused_batch
{refusedServers, budget, liveCount, reservedCount, mode: 'enforce', scope?: 'workspace'}
+        BDG->>BDG: lastRefusedServerNames = drain pendingRefusalNames
+    end
+```
+
+Out-of-pass refusals (e.g. lazy `readResource` spawn that bypasses the bulk pass entirely) emit length-1 batches inline for shape consistency. Nested passes (`bulkPassDepth > 0`) do not fire; only the outermost end-of-pass emits the coalesced batch.
+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+- Budget controller is constructed once per workspace at pool init.
+- `clientBudget` is immutable after construction; runtime changes require pool reconstruction.
+- `mode` is also immutable (`onEvent` is stashed as `undefined` when `mode === 'off'` as defense in depth).
+- `warnArmed` starts true; resets to true via the 37.5% downward crossing.
+- `lastRefusedServerNames` is NOT cleared on `endBulkPass` emit — only at the START of the next bulk pass. This lets a snapshot route called between passes still report the last refusal set (otherwise dashboards would show empty refusals immediately after a refused-batch event was delivered).
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `packages/core/src/tools/mcp-client-manager.ts` — re-uses `McpBudgetEvent`, `McpBudgetMode`, `McpRefusedServer`, `MCP_BUDGET_WARN_FRACTION`, `MCP_BUDGET_REARM_FRACTION`, `BudgetExhaustedError` (thrown by pool's `acquire` on refusal).
+- `packages/core/src/tools/mcp-transport-pool.ts` — consumes the budget; passes events through to the daemon EventBus via the pool's `onEvent` plumbing.
+- Daemon snapshot route `GET /workspace/mcp` — reads `getReservedSlots()`, `getRefusedServerNames()`, `getReservedCount()`, `getBudget()`, `getMode()`.

+| Env             | `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_CLIENT_BUDGET`, `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_BUDGET_MODE`                             | Forwarded to ACP child via `childEnvOverrides`; child's `readBudgetFromEnv()` picks them up. |
+| Capability tags | `mcp_guardrails` (always; `modes: ['warn', 'enforce']`), `mcp_guardrail_events` (always) | See [`11-capabilities-versioning.md`](./11-capabilities-versioning.md).                      |
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- **Reservation key is per-NAME.** Two pool entries with the same server name but different fingerprints (e.g. sessions injecting divergent OAuth headers) consume ONE slot together. Subprocess accounting is exposed separately via the pool snapshot's `subprocessCount`. Operators should think of budget as "configured server slots" not "subprocess count".
+- **Hysteresis triggers on reservation count, not live (CONNECTED) count.** Reservations include in-flight connects and survive transient disconnects, so hysteresis stays stable across reconnect cycles. Live count is exposed in event payloads as `liveCount` for SDK consumers that want that lens.
+- **`warn` mode never refuses.** It still tracks reservations and fires `mcp_budget_warning`, but `tryReserve` always returns `'reserved'`. Refusal semantics are `enforce`-only.
+- **Workspace-scoped budget events carry `scope: 'workspace'`** so they fan out to every attached session simultaneously. SDK reducers' `mcpBudgetWarningCount` / `mcpChildRefusedBatchCount` increment in lockstep across sessions on the same connection. Per-session legacy events from `McpClientManager` carry no `scope` (defaults to `'session'` semantically).
+- **The kill switch `QWEN_SERVE_NO_MCP_POOL=1`** disables the pool entirely; the workspace budget is also disabled, and the per-session `McpClientManager` budget takes over. The capabilities envelope drops `mcp_workspace_pool` and `mcp_pool_restart` to report this accurately.
+- **`ServeMcpBudgetStatusCell.scope` is a forward-compatible list shape.** Snapshot cells expose `budgets[]`, not a single `budget?` field. PR 14 v1 emits one `scope: 'session'` cell for each ACP session because `acpAgent.newSessionConfig()` constructs that session's `Config` / `McpClientManager`. The `'pool'` scope is reserved for the Wave 5 PR 23 pool-scoped cell that will sit alongside session-scoped cells. Consumers must tolerate additional unknown `scope` values by dropping them rather than failing.

+# Workspace File System Boundary
+
+## Overview
+
+The daemon never lets HTTP routes or ACP-side agent calls touch the host filesystem directly. Every read, write, list, glob, and stat goes through the `WorkspaceFileSystem` boundary (`packages/cli/src/serve/fs/`), which provides:
+
+- **Path resolution** — canonicalize paths and reject anything escaping the bound workspace, including via symlinks.
+- **Trust gating** — refuse writes when the workspace is not trusted (`untrusted_workspace`).
+- **Size & content policy** — read cap (`MAX_READ_BYTES = 256 KiB`), write cap (`MAX_WRITE_BYTES = 5 MiB`), binary detection.
+- **Atomicity** — write-then-rename with target mode preservation and `0o600` default for new files.
+- **Audit** — every access / denial emits a structured event for `PermissionAuditRing` / monitoring.
+- **Typed errors** — closed `FsErrorKind` union mapped to HTTP statuses.
+
+The HTTP file routes (`GET /file`, `GET /file/bytes`, `POST /file/write`, `POST /file/edit`, `GET /list`, `GET /glob`, `GET /stat`) and the ACP-side `BridgeFileSystem` adapter (so agent-driven `readTextFile` / `writeTextFile` calls get the same gates) both go through this boundary.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Resolve user-supplied paths into branded `ResolvedPath` values that the rest of the boundary can safely use.
+- Refuse paths outside the bound workspace (`path_outside_workspace`) and paths whose target is a symlink (`symlink_escape`).
+- Refuse reads above `MAX_READ_BYTES`, writes above `MAX_WRITE_BYTES`, and binary files (`binary_file`).
+- Refuse writes/edits when the workspace is untrusted (`untrusted_workspace`) — gated by `assertTrustedForIntent(trusted, intent)`.
+- Honor `.gitignore` / `.qwenignore` patterns via `shouldIgnore`.
+- Perform atomic write-then-rename with target mode preservation; default new file mode is `0o600`.
+- Emit `fs.access` / `fs.denied` audit events on every operation.
+- Map every failure to a `FsError` with kind and HTTP status; route handlers serialize them uniformly.

+
+### `BridgeFileSystem` (the ACP-side adapter)
+
+`packages/acp-bridge/src/bridgeFileSystem.ts` defines:
+
+```ts
+interface BridgeFileSystem {
+  readText(params: ReadTextFileRequest): Promise;
+  writeText(params: WriteTextFileRequest): Promise;
+}
+```
+
+This is the injection point for ACP `readTextFile` / `writeTextFile`. Bridge tests and Mode A embedded callers can omit it on `BridgeOptions`; `BridgeClient` falls back to its inline `fs.readFile` / `fs.writeFile` proxy (preserves pre-F1 behavior). Production `qwen serve` wires `BridgeFileSystem` through `createBridgeFileSystemAdapter(fsFactory)` (`packages/cli/src/serve/bridge-file-system-adapter.ts`) so agent-side ACP writes pick up the same TOCTOU, symlink, trust-gate, and audit gates the HTTP routes use.
+
+Two defensive gates the adapter MUST replicate (because the inline proxy is fully bypassed when the adapter is injected):
+
+1. **Reject non-regular files** — sockets / pipes / char devices / procfs / sysfs entries can stream unbounded data despite `stats.size === 0`. The inline path throws with `describeStatKind(stats)` in the message.
+2. **Cap buffered size** at `READ_FILE_SIZE_CAP = 100 MiB`. A tiny `{ line: 1, limit: 10 }` request against a 500 MB log would otherwise cost 500 MB of RSS just to return 10 lines.
+
+The adapter goes further: it uses `WorkspaceFileSystem.writeTextOverwrite` (PR 18 primitive) for atomic temporary-file-and-rename writes with mode preservation, `0o600` default, and symlink rejection inside a per-path lock. This is a **divergence from the pre-F1 inline proxy** which resolved symlinks and wrote through to their target — agents that relied on writing through symlinked dotfiles now have to address the resolved path directly.
+
+### FsError preservation over the ACP wire
+
+When the `BridgeFileSystem` adapter throws an `FsError` (`kind: 'untrusted_workspace'` / `'symlink_escape'` / `'file_too_large'` / etc.), the ACP SDK's default RPC error path serializes only `error.message` as a generic `-32603 "Internal error"` — `kind` / `status` / `hint` are stripped. The downstream agent RPC client would then have to regex-match the human-readable message to dispatch typed UI (auth retry vs file picker vs proxy hint).
+
+`BridgeClient.writeTextFile` and `BridgeClient.readTextFile` install a thin guard (`packages/acp-bridge/src/bridgeClient.ts`) that catches FsError-shaped throws and rethrows them as ACP `RequestError`:
+
+```ts
+function isFsErrorShape(err: unknown): err is FsErrorShape {
+  return (
+    err instanceof Error &&
+    err.name === 'FsError' &&
+    typeof (err as { kind?: unknown }).kind === 'string'
+  );
+}
+
+function preserveFsErrorOverAcp(err: unknown): never {
+  if (isFsErrorShape(err)) {
+    throw new RequestError(-32603, err.message, {
+      errorKind: err.kind,
+      ...(err.hint !== undefined ? { hint: err.hint } : {}),
+      ...(err.status !== undefined ? { status: err.status } : {}),
+    });
+  }
+  throw err;
+}
+```
+
+The agent's RPC client now receives `data.errorKind` (the closed `FsErrorKind` value) plus the optional `data.hint` and `data.status`, so SDK consumers branch on the typed enum instead of regex-matching the message.
+
+Two design notes:
+
+- **Duck typing over import** — `FsError` lives in `packages/cli/src/serve/fs/errors.ts` while `BridgeClient` lives in `packages/acp-bridge`. A direct `import { FsError }` would invert the dependency. The duck check (`name === 'FsError'` + `kind: string`) mirrors what `mapDomainErrorToErrorKind` (`status.ts`) already does for `TrustGateError` / `SkillError` for the same cross-package bundling reason.
+- **JSON-RPC code stays at -32603** — the bridge cannot reliably map `FsError.kind` to a JSON-RPC error code shape, so the structured `data` field carries the semantic information for SDK consumers. The wire status code (`-32603` "internal error") is unchanged; clients route on `data.errorKind`.
+
+### Trust gate
+
+`assertTrustedForIntent(trusted, intent)` consumes the trust boolean injected by
+the caller; the policy layer does not read `Config.isTrustedFolder()` directly.
+Read / list / stat / glob are always allowed (trust is only for writes). Write
+intents in untrusted workspaces throw
+`FsError('untrusted_workspace', ..., status: 403)`. The trust signal flows in
+via `WorkspaceFileSystemFactoryDeps.trusted: boolean` — `runQwenServe` passes
+`true` because the operator booted the daemon against a workspace they
+implicitly trust; `createServeApp` (direct embed without `runQwenServe`)
+defaults to `false` and warns once per process (see
+[`02-serve-runtime.md`](./02-serve-runtime.md)).
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Read
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant R as HTTP route OR BridgeFileSystem.readText
+    participant FS as WorkspaceFileSystem
+    participant POL as policy.ts
+    participant FSP as node:fs
+
+    R->>FS: readText(ctx, path, opts)
+    FS->>FS: resolveWithinWorkspace(path) → ResolvedPath OR throw
+    FS->>FSP: stat(path)
+    FSP-->>FS: stats
+    FS->>FS: reject if not regular file (describeStatKind)
+    FS->>POL: enforceReadSize(stats.size, opts.maxBytes?)
→ throw file_too_large OR slice plan
+    FS->>FSP: readFile(path)
+    FSP-->>FS: buffer
+    FS->>POL: detectBinary(buffer)
+    POL-->>FS: isBinary?
+    FS->>FS: reject if binary; sha256 hash; truncate to line window
+    FS->>FS: shouldIgnore? → annotate meta.matchedIgnore
+    FS->>FS: audit fs.access
+    FS-->>R: { content, sha256, truncated?, meta }
+```
+
+`readText` does not skip or reject reads because of ignore rules. It reads the
+file normally and records the matching ignore classification in
+`meta.matchedIgnore`. `list` and `glob` filter ignored results only when
+`includeIgnored` is not enabled.
+
+### Write
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant R as POST /file/write OR ACP writeText
+    participant FS as WorkspaceFileSystem
+    participant POL as policy.ts
+    participant FSP as node:fs
+
+    R->>FS: writeTextAtomic(ctx, path, content, opts)
+    FS->>FS: assertTrustedForIntent(trusted, 'write') → throw untrusted_workspace OR ok
+    FS->>FS: resolveWithinWorkspace(path)
+    FS->>POL: enforceWriteSize(content) → throw file_too_large OR ok
+    FS->>FSP: lstat(path) → reject symlink
+    FS->>FS: acquire per-path lock
+    FS->>FSP: stat(existing?) → capture target mode (default 0o600)
+    FS->>FSP: writeFile(tmpPath, content, {mode})
+    FS->>FSP: rename(tmpPath, path) (atomic)
+    FS->>FS: audit fs.access (write)
+    FS-->>R: { sha256, mode, bytesWritten }
+```
+
+The atomic write-then-rename ensures a SIGKILL / OOM mid-write does NOT leave the target truncated. `mode: 'create'` aborts with `file_already_exists` on lstat; `mode: 'overwrite'` proceeds; `expectedSha256` arms optimistic-concurrency (`hash_mismatch` on mismatch).
+
+### `POST /file/edit` (single text replacement)
+
+Adds two failure modes on top of write:
+
+- `text_not_found` (422) — search string not in the file.
+- `ambiguous_text_match` (422) — multiple matches when exactly one was required (the route's contract).
+
+### Audit fan-out
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    A["WorkspaceFileSystem op succeeds OR fails"] --> P["createAuditPublisher → emit FS_ACCESS_EVENT_TYPE / FS_DENIED_EVENT_TYPE"]
+    P --> AR["PermissionAuditRing (512 entries, FIFO)"]
+    P --> MON["future: external monitoring sink"]
+```
+
+`FS_ACCESS_EVENT_TYPE` / `FS_DENIED_EVENT_TYPE` carry context (`ctx`), path, intent, outcome, errorKind?, bytesRead/written, sha256?.
+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+- The factory is built once at daemon boot (`runQwenServe` → `resolveBridgeFsFactory` → adapter).
+- Each request constructs a `RequestContext` and invokes the factory's orchestrator for that call only — no long-lived per-file state.
+- Per-path locks live only for the duration of the write operation (no cross-call locking; concurrent writes to the same path race on the lock and serialize).
+- Audit ring is owned by `runQwenServe` and shared with the permission audit publisher.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `@qwen-code/qwen-code-core` — `Ignore`, `isBinaryFile`, `Config.isTrustedFolder()`.
+- `node:fs`, `node:path`, `node:crypto`.
+- `@qwen-code/acp-bridge` — `BridgeFileSystem` contract on the ACP side.
+- HTTP routes: `packages/cli/src/serve/routes/workspace-file-read.ts`, `workspace-file-write.ts`.

+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- **Symlinks are rejected, not followed.** This is a divergence from the pre-F1 inline `BridgeClient.writeTextFile` proxy which resolved symlinks. Agents writing through symlinked dotfiles need to address the resolved path directly.
+- **`io_error` vs `permission_denied` are distinct.** Do not conflate them. Monitoring pipelines key on `errorKind` for alerting — folding ENOSPC into permission_denied would page security responders for `df -h` problems.
+- **New file mode defaults to `0o600`, not umask defaults.** The write syscall's `mode` arg bypasses umask. Agents writing public files should explicitly pass a mode override.
+- **`createServeApp` default `trusted: false`** silently rejects ACP writes with `untrusted_workspace` for embedders that do not inject a custom `fsFactory` or `bridge`. A one-time stderr warning fires the first time; further callers see no reminder. See [`02-serve-runtime.md`](./02-serve-runtime.md).
+- **Read cap is enforced pre-decode.** A file at `MAX_READ_BYTES + 1` is refused even if the request only wants 10 lines — because the underlying `readFileWithLineAndLimit` reads the whole file into memory before slicing.
+- **`BridgeFileSystem` adapter MUST replicate both inline-proxy gates** (non-regular-file refusal + buffered-size cap). The inline path is fully bypassed when the adapter is injected.

+# Session Lifecycle & Identity
+
+## Overview
+
+A daemon **session** is one logical conversation pinned to one ACP `sessionId`. The bridge maintains a `SessionEntry` per session (see [`03-acp-bridge.md`](./03-acp-bridge.md)) which couples the ACP child connection with HTTP-side bookkeeping: prompt FIFO, model-change FIFO, event bus, pending permissions, attached clients, heartbeats, restore state, terminal-frame tombstones.
+
+A daemon **client** is identified by `X-Qwen-Client-Id` — an opaque, daemon-validated string the HTTP caller stamps on its requests. The bridge tracks which clients are attached to which sessions, and uses the originator client id to drive the `designated` permission policy, audit trails, and event attribution.
+
+This doc explains every session lifecycle transition (create / attach / load / resume / close / die / evict) and every identity surface the daemon exposes.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Mint, attach, restore, and reap sessions.
+- Validate `X-Qwen-Client-Id` and reject malformed ids.
+- Track multiple attached clients per session (`clientIds: Map`, `attachCount`).
+- Stamp `originatorClientId` on outbound events.
+- Run heartbeats so dashboards know which clients are still connected.
+- Surface session metadata (`displayName`) that operators set via `PATCH /session/:id/metadata`.
+- Drive terminal frame emission (`session_died`, `session_closed`, `client_evicted`, `stream_error`).
+
+## Architecture
+
+| Concern                   | Source                                                       | Notes                                                                                     |
+| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `SessionEntry`            | `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts`                          | Per-session struct; see [`03-acp-bridge.md`](./03-acp-bridge.md) for full field listing.  |
+| `BridgeSession` (public)  | `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridgeTypes.ts`                     | `{ sessionId, workspaceCwd, attached, clientId?, createdAt? }` returned to HTTP handlers. |
+| `BridgeSessionState`      | `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridgeTypes.ts`                     | `LoadSessionResponse \| ResumeSessionResponse` cached on the entry as `restoreState`.     |
+| `DaemonSession` (SDK)     | `packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/types.ts`                | `{ sessionId, workspaceCwd, attached, clientId?, createdAt? }`.                           |
+| Client-id validation      | `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts` (around `spawnOrAttach`) | Pattern `[A-Za-z0-9._:-]{1,128}`; `InvalidClientIdError` if malformed.                    |
+| Session disconnect-reaper | `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts`                           | Tracks spawn-owner disconnects with `attachCount` + `spawnOwnerWantedKill`.               |
+
+### State machine
+
+```mermaid
+stateDiagram-v2
+    [*] --> SpawnInProgress: POST /session
+    SpawnInProgress --> Live: newSession success
+    SpawnInProgress --> [*]: initialize failure / spawn error
+    Live --> Live: attach (sessionScope=single, bump attachCount)
+    Live --> Live: detach (decrement attachCount)
+    Live --> RestoreInProgress: POST /session/:id/load or /resume
+    RestoreInProgress --> Live: restoreState cached on entry
+    RestoreInProgress --> Live: RestoreInProgressError (coalesce waiters)
+    Live --> Closed: DELETE /session/:id (last client)
+    Live --> Died: ACP child exit / channel.exited fired
+    Closed --> [*]: session_closed terminal frame
+    Died --> [*]: session_died terminal frame
+```
+
+### Attach vs spawn
+
+Under `sessionScope: 'single'` (default), the bridge's `defaultEntry` is shared by every connecting client. A `POST /session` that arrives while `defaultEntry` already exists returns `attached: true` without spawning a new ACP child. The bridge synchronously bumps `attachCount` and registers the caller's `X-Qwen-Client-Id` into `clientIds`.
+
+Under `sessionScope: 'thread'`, each thread can mint a distinct session. The caller still respects `maxSessions`.
+
+### Identity
+
+`X-Qwen-Client-Id` is **optional** but **strongly recommended**. The daemon does not generate one on the caller's behalf — clients pick their own and reuse it across requests so the daemon can attribute votes, audit events, and detect reconnects.
+
+Validation rules:
+
+- Charset: `[A-Za-z0-9._:-]`.
+- Length: 1–128.
+- Outside this set: `InvalidClientIdError` (`400`).
+
+The daemon stamps `originatorClientId` on outbound SSE events when:
+
+1. The request that triggered the event carried `X-Qwen-Client-Id`, AND
+2. The id is currently registered in the session's `clientIds` set, AND
+3. The session has an `activePromptOriginatorClientId` set (inline `sessionUpdate` and `permission_request` inherit the originator from the active prompt).
+
+Anonymous callers (no `X-Qwen-Client-Id`) work fine for `first-responder` policy; `designated` rejects their votes with `permission_forbidden{ reason: 'designated_mismatch' }`; `consensus` rejects with the same `forbidden` reason because the voter is not in the issue-time `votersAtIssue` snapshot; `local-only` is the only policy that accepts anonymous loopback voters.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Create or attach
+
+```mermaid

+        B-->>R: {sessionId, attached: false}
+    end
+    R-->>C: 200 { sessionId, attached, ... }
+```
+
+### Load / resume
+
+`POST /session/:id/load` — replays full ACP history (`session/load` notifications fire before the response returns).
+`POST /session/:id/resume` — restores without replay (`connection.unstable_resumeSession`, exposed under the stable `session_resume` daemon capability; `unstable_session_resume` remains a deprecated alias).
+
+Both:
+
+1. Use a per-session `pendingRestoreIds` set on the channel so concurrent restore calls coalesce (`RestoreInProgressError`).
+2. Cache `restoreState` on the entry so a late attacher gets the same payload the original restorer did.
+
+### Heartbeat
+
+`POST /session/:id/heartbeat` updates `sessionLastSeenAt` regardless of `clientId`. If the request carries a registered `X-Qwen-Client-Id`, `clientLastSeenAt.set(clientId, Date.now())` also updates. Per-client eviction is **not** implemented in v1; revocation is planned for F-series Wave 5. Today, heartbeats provide observability for dashboards and for the upcoming revocation policy in PR 24.
+
+### Metadata
+
+`PATCH /session/:id/metadata` accepts `{displayName?}`. Validation:
+
+- Max length: `MAX_DISPLAY_NAME_LENGTH = 256`.
+- Must not contain control characters (`hasControlCharacter` rejects code points ≤ 0x1f or == 0x7f).
+- `InvalidSessionMetadataError` (`400`) on violation.
+
+A successful update fans `session_metadata_updated` to every subscriber.
+
+### Termination
+
+| Terminal frame   | Trigger                                                                                                                                                       |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `session_closed` | `DELETE /session/:id` (client_close) or programmatic close.                                                                                                   |
+| `session_died`   | `channel.exited` fires for any reason (crash, child kill). Carries `exitCode?` + `signalCode?` when the OS exit path was used.                                |
+| `client_evicted` | Per-subscriber queue overflow on the EventBus (see [`10-event-bus.md`](./10-event-bus.md)). NOT a session-level termination — only this subscriber is closed. |
+| `stream_error`   | SubscriberLimitExceededError or other route-level stream failure.                                                                                             |
+
+Pending permissions are resolved as `{kind:'cancelled', reason:'session_closed'}` via `mediator.forgetSession(sessionId)` at every termination path.
+
+### Disconnect-reaper guard
+
+When the spawn-owning client's HTTP response cannot be written (TCP reset mid-handshake), the route calls `killSession({ requireZeroAttaches: true })`. If another client has already attached (`attachCount > 0`), the guard short-circuits and the session lives on. Setting `spawnOwnerWantedKill = true` remembers the intent so a later `detachClient()` that brings `attachCount` back to 0 completes the deferred reap. Without this, a fast-disconnecting spawn owner would tear down a healthy session every other reconnect.
+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+`SessionEntry` fields critical to lifecycle:
+
+| Field                            | Type                  | Meaning                                                                          |
+| -------------------------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `clientIds`                      | `Map` | Registered client ids → registration ref count.                                  |
+| `attachCount`                    | `number`              | Times `spawnOrAttach` returned `attached: true` for this entry.                  |
+| `activePromptOriginatorClientId` | `string?`             | Originator for the prompt currently running.                                     |
+| `restoreState`                   | `BridgeSessionState?` | Cached load/resume response so late attachers see consistent payloads.           |
+| `spawnOwnerWantedKill`           | `boolean`             | Deferred-reap tombstone (see disconnect-reaper above).                           |
+| `sessionLastSeenAt`              | `number?`             | Most recent heartbeat across any client (epoch ms).                              |
+| `clientLastSeenAt`               | `Map` | Per-client heartbeat.                                                            |
+| `pendingPermissionIds`           | `Set`         | ACP requestIds currently pending — used on cancel/close to resolve as cancelled. |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- ACP layer: `connection.newSession`, `connection.unstable_resumeSession`, `connection.loadSession`.
+- [`03-acp-bridge.md`](./03-acp-bridge.md) for the surrounding bridge architecture.
+- [`04-permission-mediation.md`](./04-permission-mediation.md) for how originator + identity drive policy decisions.
+- [`10-event-bus.md`](./10-event-bus.md) for terminal-frame delivery.
+
+## Additional session endpoints
+
+These endpoints extend the base lifecycle surface:
+
+### Non-blocking Prompt (`non_blocking_prompt` capability tag)
+
+`POST /session/:id/prompt` now returns HTTP **202** with
+`{ promptId, lastEventId }` instead of blocking until the prompt completes. The
+actual result arrives on SSE as `turn_complete` / `turn_error`, and the
+`promptId` field correlates those events with the 202 response.
+`DaemonSessionClient.prompt()` automatically uses the non-blocking path when it
+has an active event subscription and transparently matches the result from the
+SSE stream.
+
+### Session Recap (`session_recap` capability tag)
+
+`POST /session/:id/recap` asks the fast model for a one-line "where did I leave
+off" summary. It returns `{ sessionId, recap: string | null }`; `null` means the
+history was too short or the model failed temporarily. This endpoint is
+best-effort.
+
+### Session BTW / Side Question (`session_btw` capability tag)
+
+`POST /session/:id/btw` asks a one-off question against the session context
+without interrupting the main conversation flow. It uses `runForkedAgent` on the
+cache path for a single-turn, no-tool LLM call and returns
+`{ sessionId, answer: string | null }`. The implementation enforces
+`BTW_MAX_INPUT_LENGTH`, cross-session leakage guards, and timeout handling.
+
+### Shell Command Execution
+
+`POST /session/:id/shell` executes a shell command directly on the daemon host,
+without routing through the LLM. It streams output on the session SSE bus via
+`user_shell_command` / `user_shell_result` events and injects the command plus
+result into the LLM conversation history. The response is
+`{ exitCode, output, aborted }`.
+
+### Session Detach
+
+`POST /session/:id/detach` explicitly detaches a client from a session by
+decrementing `attachCount`; it does not close the session by itself. If no other
+attach or subscriber remains, the session is reaped. The endpoint returns 204.
+
+### Batch Session Delete
+
+`POST /sessions/delete` accepts `{ sessionIds: string[] }` (up to 100 ids),
+closes bridge sessions, and deletes transcript files. It uses
+`Promise.allSettled` for resilience and returns `{ removed, notFound, errors }`.
+
+### Context Usage (`session_context_usage` capability tag)
+
+`GET /session/:id/context-usage` returns structured context-window usage.
+`?detail=true` includes finer-grained usage grouped by tool, memory, and skill.
+
+### Session Stats (`session_stats` capability tag)
+
+`GET /session/:id/stats` returns usage statistics: model metrics
+(input/output tokens, cache reads/writes, total cost), per-tool call counts and
+latencies, and file edit counts.
+
+### Session Tasks (`session_tasks` capability tag)
+
+`GET /session/:id/tasks` returns a background-task snapshot for agent tasks,
+shell tasks, monitor tasks, and their lifecycle states.
+
+### Session LSP Status (`session_lsp` capability tag)
+
+`GET /session/:id/lsp` returns sanitized per-session LSP status for daemon
+clients: enablement, aggregate server counts, unavailable/initialization state,
+and per-server `name`, `status`, `languages`, `transport`, `command`, and
+`error`. Disabled or unavailable LSP is represented as HTTP 200 status data,
+not as a transport error.
+
+### Compacted Replay
+
+`POST /session/:id/load` now returns a `BridgeRestoredSession` that can include
+`compactedReplay?: BridgeEvent[]`, `liveJournal?: BridgeEvent[]`, and
+`lastEventId?: number`. `compactedReplay` is produced by
+`TurnBoundaryCompactionEngine`: at turn boundaries it folds consecutive text /
+thought blocks, collapses tool-call sequences to their final state, discards
+transient signals, and produces O(turns) replay logs instead of O(tokens) logs
+(typically a 25-30x reduction).
+
+### ACP Child Preheat
+
+`bridge.preheat()` warms the ACP child process before the first session so that
+the first real session avoids cold-start latency. It pairs with
+`channelIdleTimeoutMs`, which keeps the ACP child alive after the last session
+closes, and skip-relaunch behavior, which reuses an already idle child when a
+new session arrives.
+
+## Configuration
+
+- `BridgeOptions.maxSessions` (default 20) — cap.
+- `BridgeOptions.sessionScope` (default `'single'`; optional `'thread'`).
+- `BridgeOptions.initializeTimeoutMs` (default 10s) — ACP `initialize` handshake.
+- `BridgeOptions.channelIdleTimeoutMs` (default 0; reap the ACP child immediately).
+- Capability tags: `session_create`, `session_scope_override`, `session_load`, `session_resume`, `unstable_session_resume` (deprecated alias), `session_list`, `session_close`, `session_metadata`, `session_set_model`, `client_identity`, `client_heartbeat`, `session_recap`, `session_btw`, `session_context_usage`, `session_tasks`, `session_stats`, `session_lsp`, `non_blocking_prompt`.
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- `connection.unstable_resumeSession` may still be unstable at the ACP layer, but the daemon advertises the committed v1 route contract with `session_resume`. `unstable_session_resume` is kept only as a deprecated compatibility alias.
+- v1 has **no per-client eviction**; only per-session and per-subscriber termination. Revocation policy is F-series Wave 5 / PR 24.
+- `client_evicted` is per-subscriber, not per-session. A client whose SSE subscriber was evicted can reconnect.
+- Anonymous clients (no `X-Qwen-Client-Id`) cannot vote under `designated` or `consensus` policies.

+# Typed Daemon Event Schema v1
+
+## Overview
+
+Every SSE frame emitted by the daemon on `GET /session/:id/events` has the shape `{ id, v, type, data, originatorClientId?, _meta? }`. `v: 1` is the current `EVENT_SCHEMA_VERSION`. `type` comes from the closed, version-pinned `DAEMON_KNOWN_EVENT_TYPE_VALUES` set in `packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/events.ts`; the current set has 43 known event types. The envelope `_meta` field is stamped at the SSE write boundary by `formatSseFrame()` in `server.ts`; see [Envelope-level metadata](#envelope-level-metadata).
+
+The SDK exposes `asKnownDaemonEvent(evt)`. It returns a discriminated `KnownDaemonEvent` for known event types and `undefined` for other types. SDK consumers can therefore handle forward compatibility without requiring a lockstep SDK upgrade when a newer daemon adds an event type; the session reducer records those as `unrecognizedKnownEventCount`.
+
+The wire format lives in [`../qwen-serve-protocol.md`](../qwen-serve-protocol.md). This page is the payload contract for each event.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Provide the single source of truth for the event vocabulary (`DAEMON_KNOWN_EVENT_TYPE_VALUES`).
+- Provide a typed envelope for each event type (`DaemonEventEnvelope`).
+- Provide pure reducers (`reduceDaemonSessionEvent`, `reduceDaemonAuthEvent`) that project an event stream into SDK view state.
+- Broadcast the `typed_event_schema` capability tag as an informational signal. If the tag is absent, `asKnownDaemonEvent` still falls back to `unknown`.
+

+### `DaemonSessionViewState`
+
+`reduceDaemonSessionEvent` fills this view state. CLI TUI adapter, `DaemonChannelBridge`, and VS Code IDE consume it. Key fields:
+
+- `alive: boolean` - becomes `false` after a terminal frame (`session_died`, `session_closed`, `client_evicted`, `stream_error`).
+- `currentModelId?: string` - from `model_switched`.
+- `displayName?: string` - from `session_metadata_updated`.
+- `pendingPermissions: Record` - open requests keyed by `requestId`; cleared by `permission_resolved` / `permission_already_resolved`.
+- `lastSessionUpdate?: DaemonSessionUpdateData` - latest `session_update`.
+- `lastModelSwitchFailure?: DaemonModelSwitchFailedData` - from `model_switch_failed`.
+- `terminalEvent?` - raw terminal event.
+- `streamError?: DaemonStreamErrorData` - latest `stream_error` payload.
+- `unrecognizedKnownEventCount`, `lastUnrecognizedKnownEvent?` - event was recognized by `asKnownDaemonEvent` but the reducer has no dedicated state for it yet.
+- `droppedPermissionRequestCount`, `lastDroppedPermissionRequestId?` - malformed permission request could not enter the pending map.
+- `unmatchedPermissionResolutionCount`, `lastUnmatchedPermissionResolutionId?` - permission resolution had no matching pending request.
+- `slowClientWarningCount`, `lastSlowClientWarning?` - from `slow_client_warning`.
+- `mcpBudgetWarningCount`, `lastMcpBudgetWarning?` - from `mcp_budget_warning`.
+- `mcpChildRefusedBatchCount`, `lastMcpChildRefusedBatch?` - from `mcp_child_refused_batch`.
+- `lastWorkspaceMutation?`, `lastWorkspaceMutationType?` - from `memory_changed` / `agent_changed`.
+- `approvalMode?`, `approvalModeChangedCount`, `lastApprovalModeChange?` - from `approval_mode_changed`.
+- `toolToggleCount`, `lastToolToggle?` - from `tool_toggled`.
+- `workspaceInitCount`, `lastWorkspaceInit?` - from `workspace_initialized`.
+- `mcpRestartCount`, `lastMcpRestart?` - from `mcp_server_restarted`.
+- `mcpRestartRefusedCount`, `lastMcpRestartRefused?` - from `mcp_server_restart_refused`.
+- `settings_changed` / `settings_reloaded` - recognized by `asKnownDaemonEvent`; the session reducer does not maintain dedicated view-state fields, and UIs usually treat them as refresh signals.
+- `permissionVoteProgress: Record` - consensus voting progress.
+- `forbiddenVotes: DaemonPermissionForbiddenData[]`, `forbiddenVoteCount` - policy-rejected vote records, capped at 32.
+- `awaitingResync: boolean` - set by `state_resync_required`; cleared when consumer resets view state.
+- `resyncRequiredCount`, `lastResyncRequired?` - resync observability.
+- `lastFollowupSuggestion?: DaemonFollowupSuggestionData` - latest follow-up suggestion pushed by daemon.
+- `lastTurnComplete?: DaemonTurnCompleteData` - latest successful turn completion.
+- `lastTurnError?: DaemonTurnErrorData` - latest turn error.
+- `rewindCount`, `lastRewind?`, `lastBranch?` - latest rewind / branch events.
+
+### `DaemonAuthState`
+
+One entry per `providerId`, driven by `auth_device_flow_*`. Each flow exposes `{ deviceFlowId, status, providerId, expiresAt?, lastThrottleIntervalMs?, lastError? }`.

+
+## Envelope-level metadata
+
+Beyond each event's `data` payload, the daemon stamps two envelope-level fields.
+
+### `_meta.serverTimestamp` - daemon clock
+
+`formatSseFrame()` in `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts` stamps this at the SSE write boundary, **not** inside `EventBus.publish`. The in-memory `BridgeEvent` type stays unchanged; internal daemon consumers do not see `_meta`, while wire SSE frames do.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "id": 47,
+  "v": 1,
+  "type": "session_update",
+  "data": { ... },
+  "_meta": { "serverTimestamp": 1716287345123 }
+}
+```
+
+The merge preserves any existing `_meta` keys
+(`{...existingMeta, serverTimestamp: Date.now()}`). **No current daemon producer
+writes envelope-level `_meta`**. The top-level merge is a forward-compatibility
+escape hatch.
+
+Why it matters: multi-client UIs that render relative time or sort transcript blocks should use server time instead of each browser/tab/phone local clock. Server stamping keeps ordering consistent across clients.
+
+SDK access: prefer `event._meta?.serverTimestamp`. Compatibility paths may also probe `event.serverTimestamp` or `event.data._meta.serverTimestamp`. Do not mix ACP payload `data._meta` with daemon envelope `_meta`.
+
+### `originatorClientId`
+
+Events triggered by a request that carried a registered `X-Qwen-Client-Id` may stamp this field. See [`08-session-lifecycle.md`](./08-session-lifecycle.md).
+
+## Tool-call `_meta` (provenance / serverId)
+
+This is separate from envelope `_meta`: ACP `session/update` payloads can carry their own `_meta` in `event.data._meta`. `ToolCallEmitter` (`packages/cli/src/acp-integration/session/emitters/ToolCallEmitter.ts`) stamps two fields on `emitStart`, `emitResult`, and `emitError`:
+
+| Field        | Type                                      | Resolution rule                                                                                                                                                            |
+| ------------ | ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `provenance` | `'builtin' \| 'mcp' \| 'subagent'`        | `ToolCallEmitter.resolveToolProvenance`: `subagentMeta` wins with `subagent`; tool name matching `mcp____` maps to `mcp`; everything else maps to `builtin`. |
+| `serverId`   | `string` only when `provenance === 'mcp'` | Extracted heuristically from `mcp____`.                                                                                                                    |
+
+The existing `_meta.toolName` display name is preserved. UI uses these fields to render builtin / MCP server / subagent badges without reparsing the tool name.
+
+## SDK reducer behavior
+
+`reduceDaemonSessionEvent(state, evt)` in `packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/events.ts` projects the stream into `DaemonSessionViewState`. The resync-related fields are:
+
+- **`awaitingResync: boolean`** - set by `state_resync_required`; caller clears it, typically after `POST /session/:id/load` resets view state.
+- **`resyncRequiredCount: number`** - observability counter.
+- **`lastResyncRequired?: DaemonStateResyncRequiredData`** - latest payload.
+
+While `awaitingResync = true`, the reducer **skips delta application** and only allows the closed `RESYNC_PASSTHROUGH_TYPES` set:
+
+| Passthrough type        | Why it is still applied during resync                                          |
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `state_resync_required` | Rare second resync should update `lastResyncRequired` / `resyncRequiredCount`. |
+| `session_died`          | Terminal stream signal must remain visible during resync.                      |
+| `session_closed`        | Same as above.                                                                 |
+| `client_evicted`        | Same as above.                                                                 |
+| `stream_error`          | Same as above.                                                                 |
+| `session_snapshot`      | Full-state authoritative frame; safe to apply during resync.                   |
+
+`lastEventId` still advances monotonically through `advanceLastEventId(base)` during resync. After the caller resets and clears `awaitingResync`, subsequent deltas align to the correct cursor.
+
+`reduceDaemonAuthEvent` projects device-flow events into workspace-level auth
+state entries shaped like
+`{deviceFlowId, status, providerId, expiresAt?, lastThrottleIntervalMs?, lastError?}`
+conceptually. In code the reducer stores `status`, `errorKind`, `hint`,
+`intervalMs`, `lastSeenEventId`, `authorizedExpiresAt`, and `accountAlias` on
+`DaemonDeviceFlowReducerState`; the daemon event payloads themselves remain the
+per-event shapes listed above.
+
+## State and forward compatibility
+
+- Add a known event type by appending to `DAEMON_KNOWN_EVENT_TYPE_VALUES`. Old SDKs return `undefined` for unrecognized event types through the fallback path and increment `unrecognizedKnownEventCount`; new SDKs rely on the discriminated union.
+- Adding optional fields to an existing payload is safe because payloads are open (`{ [key: string]: unknown }`).
+- Changing an existing payload **shape** is breaking and must bump `EVENT_SCHEMA_VERSION` plus advertise a compatible capability tag such as `caps.features.typed_event_schema_v2`.
+- `id` is per-session monotonic. Subscriber-level synthetic frames (`client_evicted`, `slow_client_warning`, `stream_error`, `state_resync_required`, `replay_complete`, `session_snapshot`) intentionally have no id so other subscribers do not see gaps.
+- `originatorClientId` lives on the envelope rather than `data`. F3 partial-vote / forbidden payloads also merge it into `data` through `mergeOriginator` so view-state consumers do not need to retain the envelope.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- [`10-event-bus.md`](./10-event-bus.md) - delivery channel.
+- [`11-capabilities-versioning.md`](./11-capabilities-versioning.md) - how SDKs preflight `typed_event_schema`, `mcp_guardrail_events`, and `permission_mediation`.
+- [`04-permission-mediation.md`](./04-permission-mediation.md) - how permission events are produced.
+- [`13-sdk-daemon-client.md`](./13-sdk-daemon-client.md) - `asKnownDaemonEvent`, reducers, and view-state shape.
+
+## Configuration
+
+- Always advertised: `typed_event_schema`, `mcp_guardrail_events`, and `permission_mediation` (with supported policy modes).
+- No env var or flag directly controls the schema itself. `QWEN_SERVE_NO_MCP_POOL=1` changes MCP event `scope` from `'workspace'` to absent or `'session'`.
+
+## Caveats and known limits
+
+- Six synthetic frame types intentionally have no `id`; SDK code must not assume every event has an id.
+- `permission_partial_vote` only appears under `consensus`. `permission_forbidden` appears under `designated`, `consensus`, and `local-only`, but not under `first-responder`.
+- `mcp_child_refused_batch` only appears in `mode: 'enforce'`; `warn` mode never refuses.
+- `auth_device_flow_*` events are not session-keyed. When consuming through `DaemonSessionClient`, use `reduceDaemonAuthEvent` for them rather than the session reducer.

+# SSE Event Bus & Backpressure
+
+## Overview
+
+`EventBus` (`packages/acp-bridge/src/eventBus.ts`) is the per-session in-memory pub/sub that feeds the daemon's `GET /session/:id/events` SSE route. It assigns each event a monotonic id, buffers recent events in a bounded ring for `Last-Event-ID` replay, fans published events out to all subscribers, applies per-subscriber backpressure (warning at 75% queue fill, eviction at the cap), and emits two synthetic terminal frames (`client_evicted`, `slow_client_warning`) that the SDK treats as first-class events but the bus marks **without an `id`** so they do not consume a slot in the per-session sequence.
+
+`EventBus` is currently package-private to `acp-bridge` and consumed by the bridge factory through one closed-over instance per session. A future refactor (called out at line 150–159 of `eventBus.ts`) will lift it to a top-level building block so channels, dual-output, and future WebSocket transports can subscribe through the same bus instead of running parallel streams.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Assign per-session monotonic event ids starting at 1.
+- Buffer the last `ringSize` events for replay on subscribe-with-`lastEventId`.
+- Fan published events out to ≤ `maxSubscribers` concurrent subscribers.
+- Apply per-subscriber bounded queues; drop overflowing subscribers with a synthetic `client_evicted` terminal frame.
+- Emit `slow_client_warning` once per overflow episode at 75% queue fill, with 37.5% hysteresis to prevent repeated warnings.
+- Tear subscriptions down promptly on `AbortSignal.abort()`.
+- Cleanly close every subscriber on bus close (e.g. session teardown).
+- Never throw from `publish` (the contract is "publish is always safe to call").

+
+### `BridgeEvent`
+
+```ts
+interface BridgeEvent {
+  id?: number; // monotonic per session; absent on synthetic terminal frames
+  v: 1; // EVENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
+  type: string; // one of the 43 known types or future-extensible
+  data: unknown; // payload (typed per-type by the SDK; see 09-event-schema.md)
+  originatorClientId?: string; // set when the event derives from a clientId-stamped request
+}
+```
+
+### `SubscribeOptions`
+
+```ts
+interface SubscribeOptions {
+  lastEventId?: number; // replay from after this id (Last-Event-ID resume)
+  signal?: AbortSignal; // aborts the subscription promptly
+  maxQueued?: number; // per-subscriber backlog cap; default 256
+}
+```
+
+`subscribe()` returns an `AsyncIterable`. The SSE route consumes it with `for await`. Registration is **synchronous** — by the time `subscribe()` returns, the subscriber is already attached, so a `publish()` that races with the consumer's first `next()` is still delivered.
+
+### `BoundedAsyncQueue`
+
+The per-subscriber queue. Two pivotal behaviors:
+
+- **Live cap is on live items only.** Items inserted via `forcePush()` carry a `forced: true` tag per entry and never count toward `maxSize`. This lets the `Last-Event-ID` replay path force-push hundreds of historical frames into a fresh subscriber without immediately tripping the live cap and evicting the just-resumed subscriber.
+- **`liveCount` is maintained as a field**, not derived from `forcedInBuf` position. The earlier position-based heuristic broke when `slow_client_warning` started force-pushing mid-stream (warnings go to the BACK of the queue, not the front like replays). Per-entry `forced` tags are position-independent.
+
+`push(value)` returns `false` (instead of blocking or throwing) when the live backlog is at the cap — the bus uses that signal to evict the subscriber. `forcePush(value)` bypasses the cap. `close({drain?: boolean})` drains pending items by default; abort-path passes `drain: false` to drop them immediately.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Publish

+```
+
+`publish` never throws. Closing the bus mid-publish (the shutdown path closes per-session buses before awaiting `channel.kill()`) returns `undefined` rather than throwing because the agent may still emit `sessionUpdate` notifications in the small window between bus close and channel kill.
+

+```
+
+If `subs.size >= maxSubscribers` at subscribe time, `SubscriberLimitExceededError` is thrown — the SSE route catches it and serializes a `stream_error` synthetic frame to the rejected client so they do not see a silent empty stream. Returning an empty iterable instead would leave operators without visibility into "some clients get events, some do not" under load.
+
+### Ring-eviction → `state_resync_required` (the recovery flow)
+
+When a consumer reconnects with `Last-Event-ID: N` and the ring's earliest surviving event has `id > N + 1`, the events in `[N+1, earliestInRing-1]` were evicted before the consumer reconnected. The naïve replay would silently succeed with a non-contiguous suffix, the SDK reducer would keep applying deltas as if the stream were contiguous, and its state would diverge from the daemon's truth — with no terminal signal.
+
+Implemented in `EventBus.subscribe()`:
+
+1. First check `opts.lastEventId >= this.nextId`. If true, the client cursor is
+   from an older bus epoch (daemon restart / EventBus reconstruction), so the
+   bus emits `reason: 'epoch_reset'` and replays the whole current ring.
+2. Otherwise compute `earliestInRing = this.ring[0]?.id`.
+3. If `earliestInRing > opts.lastEventId + 1`, force-push a synthetic frame **before** the replay frames:
+   ```jsonc
+   {
+     "v": 1,
+     "type": "state_resync_required",
+     "data": {
+       "reason": "ring_evicted",
+       "lastDeliveredId": ,
+       "earliestAvailableId": 
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+4. Continue the normal replay loop afterwards.
+
+Critical contracts (and what the #4360 review corrected):
+
+- **No `id`** — same no-slot pattern as `client_evicted`, so it does not occupy a slot in the per-session monotonic sequence other subscribers observe.
+- **Stream stays open** — unlike `client_evicted` (genuinely terminal), `state_resync_required` is recovery-oriented. Replay + live frames continue flowing afterward.
+- **Reducer auto-skips deltas** — the SDK side flips `awaitingResync = true` and applies only `state_resync_required`, the terminal frames, and full-state snapshots until consumer code calls `loadSession` and clears the flag. See [`09-event-schema.md`](./09-event-schema.md) for `RESYNC_PASSTHROUGH_TYPES`.
+- **Network-friendly** — frames stay on the wire so the SDK can compute a "what you missed" diff later if it wants to. No extra reconnect cycle is required.
+
+### Eviction terminal flow
+
+When a subscriber's live backlog has been at `maxQueued` and the next `push()` returns `false`:
+
+1. Mark `sub.evicted = true`.
+2. Construct `client_evicted` frame **without `id`** — `{ v: 1, type: 'client_evicted', data: { reason: 'queue_overflow', droppedAfter:  } }`.
+3. `queue.forcePush(evictionFrame)` so the consumer iterator sees one terminal frame.
+4. `queue.close()` so iteration unwinds after the terminal frame.
+5. Call `sub.dispose()` — removes from `subs` and detaches the `AbortSignal` listener; without this cleanup, stalled consumers' closures remain live until `AbortSignal` garbage collection.
+
+### Abort flow
+
+`AbortSignal.abort()` → `onAbort()`:
+
+1. `queue.close({drain: false})` — drop buffered items so the SSE route does not keep serializing events to a socket nobody is listening to.
+2. `dispose()` — idempotent through a `disposed` flag.
+
+Already-aborted signals at subscribe time call `onAbort()` synchronously before returning the iterator.
+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+- `nextId` starts at 1 and only ever increments. `lastEventId` getter returns `nextId - 1`.
+- `ring` is bounded; eviction-by-shift is O(n) once full. At `ringSize=8000` that measures in low milliseconds on high-volume sessions — well below per-frame latency budget. A circular-buffer refactor is deferred until profiling flags it or operators increase `--event-ring-size` by an order of magnitude.
+- `close()` flips `closed`, closes every subscriber's queue, and clears `subs`. Subsequent `publish()` / `subscribe()` are no-ops (`publish` returns undefined; `subscribe` returns `emptyAsyncIterable`).
+- Each session owns one `EventBus`. Bus close happens before `channel.kill()` so in-flight publishes during shutdown return undefined rather than throwing.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Consumed by `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts` (`BridgeClient.sessionUpdate` / `BridgeClient.extNotification` → `events.publish(...)`).
+- Consumed by `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts` (SSE route handler → `events.subscribe(...)` then formats `BridgeEvent` to SSE wire frames).
+- Re-export shim: `packages/cli/src/serve/event-bus.ts` → `@qwen-code/acp-bridge/eventBus`.
+- SDK consumer: `packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/sse.ts` (`parseSseStream`), then `asKnownDaemonEvent` (see [`09-event-schema.md`](./09-event-schema.md), [`13-sdk-daemon-client.md`](./13-sdk-daemon-client.md)).
+
+## Configuration
+
+- `--event-ring-size ` — per-session ring depth; soft-capped at `MAX_EVENT_RING_SIZE = 1_000_000`.
+- Subscriber `?maxQueued=N` query parameter on `GET /session/:id/events`, range `[16, 2048]`. SDK clients pre-flight `caps.features.slow_client_warning` before opting in.
+- `BridgeOptions.eventRingSize` (overrides daemon default for embedded usage).
+- Capability tags: `session_events`, `slow_client_warning`, `typed_event_schema`.
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- **Synthetic frames have no `id`.** SDK consumers using `Last-Event-ID` resume only record frames with ids; `slow_client_warning`, `client_evicted`, `state_resync_required`, and `replay_complete` do not advance the cursor and do not consume per-session sequence numbers. If two id-bearing live frames have a real gap, handle it through the ring-eviction / epoch-reset resync path rather than treating it as a private synthetic frame.
+- `client_evicted` is **per-subscriber**, not per-session. The same client can reconnect.
+- `BoundedAsyncQueue` iterator is **not safe for concurrent drivers** — two simultaneous `.next()` calls would race for the same event. Daemon usage is sequential (`for await ... of` in the SSE route handler), so this is safe in production.
+- The bus is currently package-private; channels and the web UI must subscribe through the daemon's HTTP SSE route, not by reaching into the bus directly. Stage 1.5 will lift this.

+# Capabilities & Protocol Versioning
+
+## Overview
+
+`GET /capabilities` is the daemon preflight endpoint. Every SDK client should read it before calling any other route so it can learn which protocol version the daemon speaks, which feature tags are enabled, and which workspace the daemon is bound to. The contract:
+
+- **There is one protocol version: `v1`.** `SERVE_PROTOCOL_VERSION = 'v1'` and `SUPPORTED_SERVE_PROTOCOL_VERSIONS = ['v1']`. v1 is additive internally; breaking frame-shape changes are reserved for v2.
+- **Each tag has a `since` version.** Future v2 daemons can advertise both v1 and v2 tags.
+- **Some tags are conditional.** Ten tags (`require_auth`, `mcp_workspace_pool`, `mcp_pool_restart`, `allow_origin`, `prompt_absolute_deadline`, `writer_idle_timeout`, `workspace_settings`, `session_shell_command`, `rate_limit`, `workspace_reload`) are advertised only when the corresponding deployment toggle is enabled. Tag presence means the behavior exists.
+- **Capability tag = behavior contract.** Adding new behavior under an existing tag can silently break clients that preflighted the old tag. New behavior needs a new tag.
+
+The complete registry lives in `packages/cli/src/serve/capabilities.ts`.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Declare every feature the daemon may advertise.
+- Filter advertised features by protocol version and deployment toggles.
+- Expose `getRegisteredServeFeatures()` (all keys, unfiltered), `getAdvertisedServeFeatures(version, toggles)` (filtered), and `getServeProtocolVersions()` (envelope `{ current, supported }`).
+- Preserve the invariant "tag present means behavior present". `server.test.ts` includes a test that every conditional tag advertises when its toggle is on; adding a conditional tag without a predicate fails that test.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Capability envelope
+
+`/capabilities` returns:
+
+```ts
+{
+  v: 1,                    // CAPABILITIES_SCHEMA_VERSION
+  mode: 'http-bridge',
+  features: ServeFeature[],
+  workspaceCwd: string,
+  protocol?: { current: 'v1', supported: ['v1'] },
+  policy?: { permission: PermissionPolicy },
+}
+```
+
+`workspaceCwd` is the canonical workspace bound at daemon boot (see [`02-serve-runtime.md`](./02-serve-runtime.md)). `policy.permission` is the active mediator policy.
+
+### `ServeCapabilityDescriptor`
+
+```ts
+interface ServeCapabilityDescriptor {
+  since: ServeProtocolVersion; // current = 'v1'
+  modes?: readonly string[]; // lists operation modes when a feature has modes
+}
+```
+
+Two v1 tags use `modes`:
+
+- `mcp_guardrails: { since: 'v1', modes: ['warn', 'enforce'] }` - clients should preflight `'enforce'` before relying on refusal behavior.
+- `permission_mediation: { since: 'v1', modes: ['first-responder', 'designated', 'consensus', 'local-only'] }` - this is the build-time supported set; the active policy is in `policy.permission`.
+
+### Conditional tags
+
+```ts
+export const CONDITIONAL_SERVE_FEATURES: ReadonlyMap<
+  ServeFeature,
+  (toggles: AdvertiseFeatureToggles) => boolean
+> = new Map([
+  ['require_auth', (t) => t.requireAuth === true],
+  ['mcp_workspace_pool', (t) => t.mcpPoolActive === true],
+  ['mcp_pool_restart', (t) => t.mcpPoolActive === true],
+  ['allow_origin', (t) => t.allowOriginActive === true],
+  [
+    'prompt_absolute_deadline',
+    (t) => typeof t.promptDeadlineMs === 'number' && t.promptDeadlineMs > 0,
+  ],
+  [
+    'writer_idle_timeout',
+    (t) =>
+      typeof t.writerIdleTimeoutMs === 'number' && t.writerIdleTimeoutMs > 0,
+  ],
+  ['workspace_settings', (t) => t.persistSettingAvailable === true],
+  ['session_shell_command', (t) => t.sessionShellCommandEnabled === true],
+  ['rate_limit', (t) => t.rateLimit === true],
+  ['workspace_reload', (t) => t.reloadAvailable === true],
+]);
+```
+
+The `Map` stores membership and predicate together. Adding a new conditional tag requires two coordinated changes:
+
+1. Register the tag and its `since` version in `SERVE_CAPABILITY_REGISTRY`.
+2. Add its predicate to `CONDITIONAL_SERVE_FEATURES`.
+
+Baseline tags are not present in the `Map` and are advertised unconditionally. This is intentionally represented by absence rather than by a separate Set.
+
+### 67 tags (v1, grouped by domain)
+
+Foundation: `health`, `capabilities`.
+
+Sessions: `session_create`, `session_scope_override`, `session_load`, `session_resume`, `unstable_session_resume`, `session_list`, `session_prompt`, `session_cancel`, `session_events`, `session_set_model`, `session_close`, `session_metadata`, `session_context`, `session_context_usage`, `session_supported_commands`, `session_tasks`, `session_stats`, `session_lsp`, `session_approval_mode_control`, `session_recap`, `session_btw`, **`session_shell_command`** (conditional), `session_language`, `session_rewind`, `session_hooks`, `session_branch`.
+
+Streaming: `slow_client_warning`, `typed_event_schema`.
+
+Identity and heartbeat: `client_identity`, `client_heartbeat`.
+
+Permissions: `session_permission_vote`, `permission_vote`, **`permission_mediation`** (`modes: ['first-responder', 'designated', 'consensus', 'local-only']`).
+
+Workspace read-only snapshots: `workspace_mcp`, `workspace_skills`, `workspace_providers`, `workspace_env`, `workspace_preflight`, `workspace_hooks`, `workspace_extensions`.
+
+Workspace mutation (Wave 4+): `workspace_memory`, `workspace_agents`, `workspace_agent_generate`, `workspace_tool_toggle`, **`workspace_settings`** (conditional), `workspace_init`, `workspace_mcp_restart`, `workspace_mcp_manage`, `workspace_file_read`, `workspace_file_bytes`, `workspace_file_write`, **`workspace_reload`** (conditional).
+
+MCP guardrails: **`mcp_guardrails`** (`modes: ['warn', 'enforce']`), `mcp_guardrail_events`, `mcp_server_runtime_mutation`, **`mcp_workspace_pool`** (conditional), **`mcp_pool_restart`** (conditional).
+
+Prompt control: **`prompt_absolute_deadline`** (conditional), **`writer_idle_timeout`** (conditional), `non_blocking_prompt`.
+
+Auth: `auth_provider_install`, `auth_device_flow`, **`require_auth`** (conditional), **`allow_origin`** (conditional).
+
+Rate limiting: **`rate_limit`** (conditional).
+
+Bold tags have `modes` or are conditional.

+    else no
+        C->>R: legacy single-entry response shape
+    end
+```
+
+## State and lifecycle
+
+- `CAPABILITIES_SCHEMA_VERSION` is the wire envelope shape version, currently `1`. Bump it only for an envelope break.
+- `SERVE_PROTOCOL_VERSION = 'v1'` is the protocol-feature version. Adding features inside v1 is additive; old clients do not see new behavior unless they preflight the new tag. Removing a feature is a v2 break.
+- `EVENT_SCHEMA_VERSION = 1` is the SSE frame `v` field (see [`09-event-schema.md`](./09-event-schema.md)). It is an independent version axis; bumping event schema does not imply bumping protocol version, and vice versa.
+- `session_resume` is the stable daemon capability for `POST /session/:id/resume`. `unstable_session_resume` remains advertised as a deprecated alias because the underlying ACP method is still named `connection.unstable_resumeSession`; new clients should feature-detect `session_resume`.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Read by `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts` when building `/capabilities` responses.
+- Toggle input comes from `runQwenServe` / `createServeApp`: `{ requireAuth, mcpPoolActive, allowOriginActive, promptDeadlineMs, writerIdleTimeoutMs, persistSettingAvailable, sessionShellCommandEnabled, rateLimit, reloadAvailable }`.
+- The active `permission` policy in the envelope comes from `BridgeOptions.permissionPolicy`, which itself reads `settings.json` `policy.permissionStrategy`.

+
+## Caveats and known limits
+
+- **`--require-auth` hides preflight.** With `--require-auth`, all routes, including `/capabilities`, require bearer auth. An unauthenticated client cannot preflight `caps.features.require_auth`; the 401 response body is the discovery surface. The `require_auth` tag is an authenticated confirmation for hardened-deployment audit UIs.
+- **Tag presence means behavior exists.** If a future contributor adds behavior under an existing tag without bumping `since`, clients that preflighted the old tag can silently receive new behavior. The convention is: new behavior gets a new tag.
+- **`unstable_*` tags can change shape between versions** without a protocol bump. Pin an SDK version when depending on them.
+- The route catalog lives in [`../qwen-serve-protocol.md`](../qwen-serve-protocol.md); this page intentionally does not duplicate it.

+# Auth & Security Model
+
+## Overview
+
+`qwen serve` is a local daemon by default and an exposed surface in the wrong configuration. Its security model is **layered** so that misconfiguration fails closed:
+
+1. **Bind** — non-loopback bind without a bearer token **refuses to start**.
+2. **Bearer auth** — `bearerAuth` middleware with constant-time SHA-256 compare protects every route except `/health` on loopback (`require_auth` extends this to loopback and `/health` too).
+3. **Host header allowlist** — on loopback, only `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, `[::1]`, `host.docker.internal` (plus port) are accepted; defense against DNS rebinding.
+4. **Origin control** — by default, any request carrying an `Origin` header is rejected with 403. When `--allow-origin ` is configured, the daemon switches to CORS allowlist mode (`allowOriginCors`) and only permits matching origins.
+5. **Per-route mutation gate** — Wave 4 mutating routes can opt in to `401` responses even on loopback when no token is configured, using a distinct `code: 'token_required'` error.
+6. **Device-flow auth** — separate OAuth surface for providers (`POST /workspace/auth/device-flow` + GET/DELETE on `/:id`).
+
+This doc walks through each layer and the explicit invariants the boot path enforces.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Refuse to boot in unsafe configurations.
+- Gate every HTTP request through bearer (when configured) + host (loopback) + origin checks.
+- Provide a per-route mutation gate Wave 4 routes opt into.
+- Host the device-flow registry that drives provider OAuth flows visible via SSE events.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Boot-time refuse rules
+
+In `run-qwen-serve.ts`:
+
+```ts
+if (!isLoopbackBind(opts.hostname) && !token) {
+  throw new Error('Refusing to bind : without a bearer token. ...');
+}
+if (opts.requireAuth && !token) {
+  throw new Error(
+    'Refusing to start with --require-auth set but no bearer token configured. ...',
+  );
+}
+```
+
+The allow-origin wildcard has its own refuse rule:
+
+```ts
+const parsed = parseAllowOriginPatterns(opts.allowOrigins);
+if (parsed.allowAny && !token) {
+  throw new Error(
+    "Refusing to start with --allow-origin '*' but no bearer token configured. ...",
+  );
+}
+```
+
+All three refusals are explicit boot failures (visible in stderr / thrown to the embedder),
+never silent. The threat model from #3803 explicitly forbids silently letting a
+daemon bind beyond loopback in the open.
+
+### Middleware chain (HTTP request order)
+

+    REQ[Request] --> SO["strip same-origin Origin

+```
+
+`mutationGate` is a per-route middleware factory (`createMutationGate` returns
+`mutate()`); routes call `mutate()` or `mutate({strict: true})` at registration
+time. It is not a global `app.use()` middleware. Access logging is registered
+before `bearerAuth` so 401 rejects are still logged. Rate limiting runs after
+`bearerAuth` and before `express.json()`, so only authenticated requests count
+and large bodies are rejected before parsing when a limit is exceeded.
+
+### `bearerAuth`
+
+- **No token configured** → middleware is a no-op (loopback developer default).
+- **Token configured** → SHA-256 the configured token once at construction; on every request hash the candidate and `timingSafeEqual` compare. No string-equality short-circuit; no time-leak.
+- **Scheme parsing**: case-insensitive `Bearer` per RFC 7235 §2.1; tolerant of `SP\tHTAB` between scheme and credentials per RFC 7230 §3.2.6 BWS; rejects pure-HTAB-as-separator.
+- **CodeQL hardening**: hand-rolled `indexOf` parsing rather than regex with `\s+` / `.+` overlap (no polynomial-regex risk).
+
+### `hostAllowlist`
+
+Loopback-only. Maintains a `Set` keyed by port. Allowed Hosts:
+
+- `localhost:`, `127.0.0.1:`, `[::1]:`, `host.docker.internal:`.
+- Plus no-port forms (`localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, `[::1]`, `host.docker.internal`) **only** when bound to port 80 (per RFC 7230 §5.4 default-port omission).
+
+Host comparison is **case-insensitive** — Express normalizes header names but not values, so Docker proxies that capitalize Hosts (`Localhost:4170`, `HOST.docker.internal`) would 403 with an exact-string compare.
+
+Non-loopback binds bypass this middleware (operator chose the surface area; bearer token gates Host spoofing instead).
+
+### `denyBrowserOriginCors`
+
+Reject any request with an `Origin` header. CLI/SDK never set Origin; only browsers do. Returns deterministic `403 { error: 'Request denied by CORS policy' }` rather than the 500 HTML the `cors` package's error-callback would produce.
+
+Exception: the demo page's same-origin XHRs are handled by a separate middleware (in `server.ts`) that strips `Origin` when it matches the daemon's own address.
+
+### `allowOriginCors` (`--allow-origin` mode)
+
+When `--allow-origin ` is configured, `denyBrowserOriginCors` is
+replaced with `allowOriginCors(parsedPatterns)`:
+
+- Matching `Origin` values receive `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`,
+  `Access-Control-Allow-Headers`, and `Access-Control-Allow-Methods`; `OPTIONS`
+  preflight returns `204`.
+- Non-matching `Origin` values receive the same deterministic
+  `403 { error: 'Request denied by CORS policy' }` as deny mode.
+- `--allow-origin '*'` requires `--token`; otherwise boot refuses.
+- `parseAllowOriginPatterns()` validates pattern syntax at boot.
+- The `allow_origin` capability tag is advertised only when this mode is
+  configured.
+
+### `createMutationGate`
+
+Per-route opt-in gate. Behavior matrix:
+
+| daemon config           | route opts      | result                           |
+| ----------------------- | --------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| `requireAuth=true`      | any             | passthrough¹                     |
+| `token` configured      | any             | passthrough²                     |
+| no token (loopback dev) | `strict: false` | passthrough                      |
+| no token (loopback dev) | `strict: true`  | `401 { code: 'token_required' }` |
+
+¹ `--require-auth` boots only with a token, so global `bearerAuth` already 401'd unauthenticated callers.
+² Any token configuration makes global `bearerAuth` enforce bearer-required-everywhere; the gate is redundant but harmless.
+
+The `code: 'token_required'` shape is distinct from `bearerAuth`'s plain `Unauthorized` so SDK clients can render a "configure --token / --require-auth" hint instead of a generic 401.
+
+**Wave 4+ strict routes**: `/workspace/memory`, `/workspace/agents/*`,
+`/workspace/agents/generate`, `/file/write`, `/file/edit`,
+`/workspace/tools/:name/enable`, `/workspace/mcp/:server/restart`,
+`/workspace/mcp/:server/{enable,disable,authenticate,clear-auth}`,
+`/workspace/mcp/servers` (POST/DELETE), `/workspace/auth/device-flow`,
+`/workspace/init`, `/session/:id/approval-mode`.
+
+### `/health` exemption
+
+On loopback binds, `/health` is registered **before** the bearer middleware so liveness probes inside the pod do not need to carry the token. Non-loopback binds gate `/health` behind bearer like every other route. `--require-auth` drops the exemption: `/health` requires `Authorization: Bearer ` on loopback too.
+
+### v1 client identity (`X-Qwen-Client-Id`) is self-reported
+
+The daemon validates only the format of `X-Qwen-Client-Id`
+(`[A-Za-z0-9._:-]{1,128}`) and tracks attached client ids per session. It does
+not currently perform proof-of-possession. A client that observes
+`originatorClientId` on SSE can re-register the same id and impersonate that
+originator in later requests.
+
+Impact:
+
+- `designated` — a remote caller can impersonate the originator and vote on a
+  request intended only for the prompt originator.
+- `consensus` — if the spoofed id was already in the `votersAtIssue` snapshot,
+  it can vote.
+- `local-only` is not affected because it gates on `fromLoopback`, which the
+  daemon stamps from the connection remote address.
+- `first-responder` is not affected because it is identity-agnostic.
+
+A future pair-token mechanism will issue a per-session secret from
+`POST /session`; `designated` / `consensus` votes will have to present it. Until
+then, deployments that need a hardened designated policy should bind loopback
+or run behind an authenticated reverse proxy. See
+[`04-permission-mediation.md`](./04-permission-mediation.md) for policy-level
+details.
+
+### Device-flow auth
+
+Separate OAuth surface for provider authentication. The v1 provider identifier is
+`qwen-oauth`, but Qwen OAuth free tier was discontinued on 2026-04-15; new
+setups should use a currently supported auth provider when one is available.
+
+- `POST /workspace/auth/device-flow` — start a flow; returns `{deviceFlowId, providerId, expiresAt, verificationUrl, userCode}`.
+- `GET /workspace/auth/device-flow/:id` — poll state.
+- `DELETE /workspace/auth/device-flow/:id` — cancel.
+- `GET /workspace/auth/status` — current account / provider snapshot.
+
+SSE events `auth_device_flow_{started, throttled, authorized, failed, cancelled}` fan-out flow state to all subscribers so multi-client UIs stay in sync. See [`09-event-schema.md`](./09-event-schema.md).
+
+Implementation: `packages/cli/src/serve/auth/device-flow.ts` + `qwen-device-flow-provider.ts`.
+
+**Log injection / Trojan Source defense**: `sanitizeForStderr(value)`
+(`device-flow.ts`) replaces ASCII control characters and Unicode control
+characters with `?`. A malicious IdP could otherwise forge log lines or hide
+payloads:
+
+| Range                            | Why it is stripped                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

+| U+2028-U+2029                    | LINE / PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR; many Unicode-aware terminals treat them as line breaks.                                                                                                                                                                                 |

+
+Length is preserved by replacing each stripped code point with `?` rather than
+deleting it, so operators can still see that something was present at that
+index. Both layers use the sanitizer: `qwenDeviceFlowProvider` sanitizes IdP
+`oauthError`, and the registry's late-poll observer sanitizes provider-controlled
+values interpolated into audit hints (`latePollResult.kind` / `lateErr.name`).
+
+The `auth_device_flow` capability tag is advertised **unconditionally**; the routes themselves return `400 unsupported_provider` if the daemon cannot satisfy a specific provider. The supported-providers list is on `/workspace/auth/status` rather than `/capabilities` to keep the descriptor shape uniform.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Bearer auth successful request
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant C as Client
+    participant BA as bearerAuth
+    participant R as Route
+
+    C->>BA: Authorization: Bearer abc...
+    BA->>BA: parse scheme (case-insensitive), strip BWS

+    BA->>BA: timingSafeEqual(candidate, expected)
+    BA->>R: next()
+    R-->>C: 200 ...
+```
+
+### Bearer auth failure modes
+
+All return `401 { error: 'Unauthorized' }` (uniform across `missing header` / `wrong scheme` / `wrong token` so probing cannot distinguish).
+
+### `--require-auth` shadow
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant C as Unauth client
+    participant CAPS as GET /capabilities
+    participant BA as bearerAuth
+
+    C->>CAPS: GET /capabilities (no Authorization)
+    CAPS->>BA: pass through middleware
+    BA-->>C: 401 Unauthorized
+    Note over C,BA: client cannot preflight require_auth tag
before authenticating. Discovery surface is the 401 body.
+```
+
+After authenticating, `caps.features.includes('require_auth')` confirms the deployment is hardened.
+
+### Wave 4 mutation gate on no-token loopback
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    autonumber
+    participant C as Client
+    participant BA as bearerAuth (no-op, no token)
+    participant MG as mutationGate({strict: true})
+    participant R as Handler
+
+    C->>BA: POST /workspace/memory (no Authorization)
+    BA->>MG: passthrough
+    MG-->>C: 401 { code: 'token_required', error: '...' }
+```
+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+- Bearer token is read at boot and trimmed (newlines from `cat token.txt` would otherwise silently break comparison).
+- Allowed-Host Set is cached per port; rebuilt on port change (ephemeral `0` → real port post-`listen`).
+- Mutation gate constructs `passthrough` and `strictDenier` once per app build; per-route call returns the cached closure (no per-request allocation).
+- Device-flow registry is disposed on `shutdown()` Phase 1 so pending flows resolve as `cancelled` before HTTP teardown.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `node:crypto` — `createHash`, `timingSafeEqual`.
+- `packages/cli/src/serve/loopback-binds.ts` — `isLoopbackBind`.
+- `packages/cli/src/serve/auth/device-flow.ts` — device-flow state machine.
+- `@qwen-code/acp-bridge` — surfaces device-flow events on the per-session SSE bus.

+| Flag            | `--allow-origin `                                                              | Switch to CORS allowlist mode. `'*'` requires a token.                  |
+| Capability tags | `require_auth` (conditional), `auth_device_flow` (always), `allow_origin` (conditional) | See [`11-capabilities-versioning.md`](./11-capabilities-versioning.md). |
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- **`--require-auth` shadows feature preflight.** Unauthenticated clients cannot discover the `require_auth` tag; their discovery surface is the 401 body itself.
+- **Mutation gate body-parser ordering**: `mutationGate({strict: true})` 401 responses fire **after** `express.json()` parses the body. Worst case on a saturated loopback listener: `--max-connections × express.json({limit: '10mb'})` ≈ 2.5 GB transient. Loopback-only attack surface, intentionally accepted.
+- **Same-origin Origin stripping** in `server.ts` happens _before_ `denyBrowserOriginCors`. If a future change moves the strip elsewhere, the demo page breaks.
+- **Token comparison is over the SHA-256 digest**, not the raw token. Reduces timing leakage by collapsing variable-length token compares to a fixed-size digest compare.
+- The daemon does **not** carry mTLS, request signing, or pair-token proof-of-possession today. `--rate-limit` provides HTTP rate limiting by client-id / IP key; it is not client identity authentication.

+# TypeScript SDK Daemon Client
+
+## Overview
+
+`packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/` is the **TypeScript SDK's daemon client**. It is the canonical way to connect to a running `qwen serve` daemon from any TypeScript / JavaScript host (the CLI's own TUI adapter, channel bot backends, the VS Code IDE companion, custom scripts, and server-side web backends). All other adapters depend on it.
+
+The package layout is intentionally small:
+
+| File                     | Surface                                                                                                                        |

+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Provide one TypeScript method per daemon HTTP route.
+- Stamp the bearer token + `X-Qwen-Client-Id` correctly on every request.
+- Compose per-call timeouts with caller-supplied `AbortSignal` (without killing long-lived SSE).
+- Stream and parse SSE frames into typed `DaemonEvent`s.
+- Track `lastSeenEventId` per session so reconnects replay correctly.
+- Expose a device-flow auth surface that polls at daemon-supplied intervals.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### `DaemonClient` (`DaemonClient.ts`)
+
+Constructor:
+
+```ts
+new DaemonClient({
+  baseUrl: string,                  // default 'http://127.0.0.1:4170'
+  token?: string,
+  fetch?: typeof globalThis.fetch,  // injectable for tests
+  fetchTimeoutMs?: number,          // 0 = disabled; default DEFAULT_FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS
+});
+```
+
+Method groups (every method takes an optional `clientId` to stamp `X-Qwen-Client-Id`):
+
+| Group               | Methods                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

+
+### `fetchWithTimeout`
+
+Every request goes through `fetchWithTimeout`. Critical details:
+
+- **Body read is inside the timer scope.** Previous implementations cleared the timer when headers arrived; if a proxy stalled mid-body, `await res.json()` could hang past `fetchTimeoutMs`. The current shape passes the body-reading code as a callback so the timer covers both header arrival AND body consumption.
+- **`perCallTimeoutMs`** lets a single call override the client-wide default. The most visible caller is `restartMcpServer`: the SDK uses `MCP_RESTART_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS = 330_000` (5 min 30s). The daemon's own `MCP_RESTART_TIMEOUT_MS` is exactly 300s; if the client matched that value, a restart that completes near 300s could lose the race while the daemon serializes and sends its structured response, causing a false-positive `TimeoutError`. The extra 30s covers serialization, network transfer, and decode on both sides. Callers that need a tighter budget can pass `timeoutMs`; passing `0` disables the timeout.
+- **`AbortSignal.any`** composes caller-supplied signal with the per-call timer signal, so caller cancellation and per-call timeout both abort cleanly.
+- **`AbortController` + cancellable `setTimeout`** instead of `AbortSignal.timeout()` so fast-resolving requests do not leak pending timers on the event loop. Timer is cleared in `finally`.
+- **Streaming endpoints (`subscribeEvents`) bypass the timeout** — long-lived SSE must not be killed by it.
+
+### `DaemonSessionClient` (`DaemonSessionClient.ts`)
+
+Binds one session and automatically tracks `lastSeenEventId` so SSE replay and reconnect work without extra caller state.
+
+```ts
+class DaemonSessionClient {
+  readonly client: DaemonClient;
+  readonly session: DaemonSession;
+  readonly state: DaemonSessionState;
+  private lastSeenEventId: number | undefined;
+
+  static createOrAttach(client, req?): Promise;
+  static load(client, sessionId, req?): Promise;
+  static resume(client, sessionId, req?): Promise;
+
+  events(opts?: DaemonSessionSubscribeOptions): AsyncIterable;
+  prompt(req: PromptRequest): Promise;
+  cancel(): Promise;
+  respondToPermission(...): Promise;
+  setModel(modelServiceId): Promise;
+  heartbeat(): Promise;
+  setMetadata(metadata): Promise;
+  close(): Promise;
+}
+```
+
+`events()` proxies `client.subscribeEvents` with `resume: true` by default — it passes the tracked `lastSeenEventId` so reconnects replay from where the previous subscription stopped. Every yielded event bumps `lastSeenEventId`.
+
+### `DaemonAuthFlow` (`DaemonAuthFlow.ts`)
+
+```ts
+class DaemonAuthFlow {
+  start(opts: { providerId, ... }): Promise;
+}
+interface DaemonAuthFlowHandle {
+  deviceFlowId: string;
+  providerId: string;
+  expiresAt: string;
+  verificationUrl: string;
+  userCode: string;
+  awaitCompletion(opts?): Promise;
+  cancel(): Promise;
+}
+```
+
+`awaitCompletion()` polls `GET /workspace/auth/device-flow/:id` at the daemon-supplied `intervalMs` until the flow becomes `authorized`, `failed`, or `cancelled`. It is lazily constructed via `client.auth` so clients that never touch auth incur no allocation cost.
+
+### `parseSseStream` (`sse.ts`)
+
+Turns a `Response.body` (`ReadableStream`) into `AsyncIterable`. Handles:
+
+- LF and CRLF framing.
+- Buffer overflow cap (16 MiB) — defensive bound against a daemon emitting a single absurdly large frame.
+- AbortSignal wiring — abort closes the stream and the iterator.
+- Comment-only frames and unknown event types (passed through as `DaemonEvent`; SDK consumers narrow downstream via `asKnownDaemonEvent`).
+
+### Types (`types.ts`)
+
+Notable exports: `DaemonCapabilities`, `DaemonSession` (`{ sessionId, workspaceCwd, attached, clientId?, createdAt? }`), `DaemonEvent`, `DaemonSessionState`, `DaemonSessionContextStatus`, `DaemonSessionSupportedCommandsStatus`, `PermissionResponse`, `PromptResult`, `HeartbeatResult`, `SetModelResult`, `SessionMetadataResult`, plus MCP / agent / memory / auth result types.

+
+`qwen-oauth` is the legacy v1 provider identifier. Qwen OAuth free tier was
+discontinued on 2026-04-15, so new clients should prefer a currently supported
+auth provider when one is available.
+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+- `DaemonClient` is connection-less; nothing happens at construction. Every method opens a fresh `fetch`.
+- `DaemonSessionClient` retains `lastSeenEventId` across `events()` invocations; reconnects replay from the last seen.
+- `DaemonAuthFlow` is lazy — `client.auth` constructs it on first access.
+- The SSE iterator closes when (a) the daemon ends the stream, (b) `AbortSignal.abort()` fires, (c) the consumer breaks out of the `for await`, or (d) the buffer overflow cap (16 MiB) is hit.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `globalThis.fetch` (Node 18+ built-in, browser, undici, etc.). Injectable per `DaemonClient` for tests.
+- Native `AbortController` / `AbortSignal.any` / `setTimeout`.
+- No transitive dependencies on `@qwen-code/qwen-code-core` or `@qwen-code/acp-bridge` — the SDK package is fully decoupled so external consumers do not pull in the daemon's internals.
+
+## `ui/*` subpackage ([#4328](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/4328) + [#4353](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/4353))
+
+The SDK also exports `packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/ui/`, a host-neutral
+set of primitives that turn daemon events into transcript blocks:
+
+- `normalizeDaemonEvent(evt)` maps the 43 known daemon wire events into 37 UI-friendly `DaemonUiEventType` values; unmodeled or malformed events normalize to `debug`.
+- `createDaemonTranscriptState()` plus `reduceDaemonTranscriptEvents(state, events)` projects UI events into `DaemonTranscriptBlock[]`.
+- `createDaemonTranscriptStore()` wraps subscribe / dispatch.
+- `render.ts` / `terminal.ts` provide HTML and terminal baseline renderers, while `toolPreview.ts` produces tool-call summaries.
+- Selectors include `selectTranscriptBlocksOrderedByEventId`, `selectPendingPermissionBlocks`, `selectCurrentTool`, `selectApprovalMode`, `selectToolProgress`, `selectSubagentChildBlocks`, `formatMissedRange`, and `formatBlockTimestamp`.
+- Public constants include `DAEMON_PLAN_TOOL_CALL_ID`.
+- `conformance.ts` contains the cross-host consistency test suite.
+
+The first production consumer is `packages/webui/src/daemon/` through React's
+`DaemonSessionProvider`. See [`14-cli-tui-adapter.md`](./14-cli-tui-adapter.md)
+for the detailed architecture, glossary, selector table, and relationship to
+the legacy `DaemonTuiAdapter`.
+
+The subpackage is exported from the `@qwen-code/sdk/daemon` subpath. Existing
+code that does `import { DaemonClient }` is unaffected.

+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `baseUrl`          | `DaemonClient` constructor           | Daemon URL; trailing slashes stripped.                                                  |
+| `token`            | `DaemonClient` constructor           | Stamped as `Authorization: Bearer`.                                                     |

+| `clientId`         | per-method optional arg              | `X-Qwen-Client-Id` header (see [`08-session-lifecycle.md`](./08-session-lifecycle.md)). |
+| `lastEventId`      | `DaemonSessionClient` constructor    | Seed replay cursor.                                                                     |
+| `maxQueued`        | per-subscribe option                 | `?maxQueued=N` for the SSE route; pre-flight `caps.features.slow_client_warning` first. |
+| `perCallTimeoutMs` | per-method (e.g. `restartMcpServer`) | Override client-wide timeout.                                                           |
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- **`fetchTimeoutMs` is per-call, not connection-level.** Long body reads share the timer. A daemon that streams responses must override per-call or set the timeout to `0`.
+- **SSE bypasses the fetch timeout** — long-lived SSE connections are not killed by `fetchTimeoutMs`. Use `AbortSignal` for caller-controlled cancellation.
+- **`parseSseStream` buffer cap is 16 MiB** as a defensive bound. A single frame larger than this aborts the iterator (the daemon never legitimately emits such frames).
+- **`asKnownDaemonEvent` returns `undefined` for unrecognized event types.** SDK consumers must handle this branch rather than assuming the union is exhaustive; that is the forward-compatibility contract. Unrecognized events increment `DaemonSessionViewState.unrecognizedKnownEventCount`.
+- **`client_evicted`, `slow_client_warning`, `stream_error` are not in the replay ring.** Reconnecting after eviction picks up from the daemon's ring; you will not see the eviction frame again.
+- **`DaemonClient` does not auto-retry.** Network failures surface as rejections; reconnect / replay strategy is the caller's responsibility (`DaemonSessionClient.events()` makes replay easy but reconnect is still per-call).

+# Shared UI Transcript Layer
+
+> **Current status**: `packages/cli/src/ui/daemon/daemon-tui-adapter.ts` is still present on `main` as a legacy experimental CLI-side adapter. This document describes the newer SDK-side shared UI transcript layer: reusable daemon event normalization and transcript primitives that any UI host can consume, including Web, TUI, IDE, and IM channels. CLI TUI, channel, and VS Code IDE migrations are follow-up work.
+
+## Overview
+
+`packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/ui/` adds a `ui/*` subpackage to the SDK. It turns the daemon SSE event stream into UI-renderable transcript blocks through reusable primitives:
+
+- **Normalization** (`normalizer.ts`): maps the daemon wire schema's 43 known event types (see [`09-event-schema.md`](./09-event-schema.md)) into 37 UI-friendly `DaemonUiEventType` semantic events such as `assistant.text.delta`, `tool.update`, and `session.metadata.changed`.
+- **State machine** (`transcript.ts`, `store.ts`): pure reducer plus subscribable store that projects UI events into an ordered `DaemonTranscriptBlock[]`.
+- **Renderers** (`render.ts`, `terminal.ts`, `toolPreview.ts`): transcript blocks to HTML, terminal text, and tool preview strings. Hosts can use or replace them.
+- **Conformance** (`conformance.ts`): cross-host consistency tests used when channel, TUI, and IDE surfaces migrate to these primitives.
+
+The first production consumer is **`packages/webui/src/daemon/`** ([#4328](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/4328)). Its React `DaemonSessionProvider` and transcript adapter let the web UI connect directly to daemon HTTP+SSE instead of only rendering host `postMessage` traffic. CLI TUI, channel base, and VS Code IDE can reuse the same layer later; [`../daemon-ui/MIGRATION.md`](../daemon-ui/MIGRATION.md) documents the v2 incremental migration guide.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Normalize the 43 daemon wire events into a stable UI vocabulary (`DaemonUiEventType`) so renderers do not inspect `rawEvent.data`.
+- Keep daemon-monotonic SSE `eventId` as the **primary ordering key** so different clients render transcripts in the same order.
+- Use a pure reducer to produce transcript blocks, with selectors for pending permissions, current tool, approval mode, tool progress, and subagent children.
+- Provide baseline HTML and terminal renderers while allowing host-specific rendering.
+- Expose public constants such as `DAEMON_PLAN_TOOL_CALL_ID` for plan panels.
+- Preserve additive wire compatibility: unknown event types normalize to `debug` instead of being dropped.

+
+### `DaemonUiEventType` vocabulary
+
+`ui/types.ts` defines 37 UI event types, grouped by domain.
+
+**Chat stream (Stage 1)**
+
+- `user.text.delta`, `user.image.delta`, `user.shell.command`, `assistant.text.delta`, `assistant.done`, `thought.text.delta`
+- `tool.update`, `shell.output`, `user.shell.output`
+- `permission.request`, `permission.resolved`
+- `model.changed`, `status`, `error`, `debug`
+
+**Session metadata**
+
+- `session.metadata.changed`, `session.approval_mode.changed`
+- `session.available_commands`, `session.state_resync_required`, `session.replay_complete`
+
+**Prompt lifecycle (cross-client)**
+
+- `prompt.cancelled`, `followup.suggestion`
+
+**Workspace (Wave 3-4)**
+
+- `workspace.memory.changed`, `workspace.agent.changed`
+- `workspace.tool.toggled`, `workspace.settings.changed`, `workspace.initialized`
+- `workspace.mcp.budget_warning`, `workspace.mcp.child_refused`
+- `workspace.mcp.server_restarted`, `workspace.mcp.server_restart_refused`
+
+**Auth flow (Wave 4 OAuth)**
+
+- `auth.device_flow.started`, `auth.device_flow.throttled`, `auth.device_flow.authorized`
+- `auth.device_flow.failed`, `auth.device_flow.cancelled`
+
+`normalizeDaemonEvent` maps the 43 daemon known wire events into this vocabulary. Unknown, unmodeled, or malformed event types normalize to `debug` and preserve `rawEvent` for host diagnostics.
+
+### Reducer and selectors
+
+```ts
+// Create initial state.
+const state = createDaemonTranscriptState();
+
+// Apply an SSE event sequence.
+const next = reduceDaemonTranscriptEvents(state, daemonUiEvents);
+
+// Selectors.
+selectTranscriptBlocks(state); // all blocks
+selectTranscriptBlocksOrderedByEventId(state); // ordered by eventId; preferred key
+selectPendingPermissionBlocks(state);
+selectCurrentTool(state);
+selectApprovalMode(state);
+selectToolProgress(state, toolCallId);
+selectSubagentChildBlocks(state, parentBlockId);
+isSubagentChildBlock(block);
+formatBlockTimestamp(block);
+formatMissedRange(state); // "you missed X" text after state_resync_required
+```
+
+### Store
+
+`createDaemonTranscriptStore()` provides subscribe and dispatch:
+
+```ts
+const store = createDaemonTranscriptStore();
+store.subscribe(() => render(store.getState()));
+store.dispatch(uiEvents); // internally runs the reducer
+```
+
+The web UI's `DaemonSessionProvider` builds its React context on top of this store.
+
+## Flow
+
+### Single SSE event end-to-end
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    A["daemon SSE wire frame
type=session_update / permission_request / ..."]
+    A --> B["DaemonClient.subscribeEvents

+    B --> C["asKnownDaemonEvent

DaemonTranscriptBlock[]"]
+    G --> H["renderer
(render.ts HTML / terminal.ts / host custom)"]
+    G --> I["selectors
selectCurrentTool / selectApprovalMode / ..."]
+```
+
+Hosts can stop at `(E)` and implement their own reducer, or consume `(G)` and the provided selectors. The web UI uses the full `(B) -> (H)` path. A migrated TUI can consume `(G)` and render with Ink-specific components.
+
+### `state_resync_required`
+
+`session.state_resync_required` maps to a transcript "missed range" marker. UI code can call `formatMissedRange(state)` to render text such as "missed events X-Y". The reducer **continues applying later events**, but marks affected blocks with `resyncRecovery: true` so renderers can add visual context. See [`10-event-bus.md`](./10-event-bus.md) for ring-eviction and `state_resync_required` semantics.

+The web UI can now connect directly to daemon HTTP+SSE and render a transcript. The old `ACPAdapter` host `postMessage` path remains available.
+
+### Later migrations
+
+[`../daemon-ui/MIGRATION.md`](../daemon-ui/MIGRATION.md) provides a v2 incremental guide for web chat and web terminal adapters. It explicitly calls out that **CLI TUI, channel base, and VS Code IDE are not migrated by that PR**; each will move in follow-up PRs and use the conformance suite to preserve rendering parity.

+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Upstream wire types: `packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/events.ts` (see [`09-event-schema.md`](./09-event-schema.md)).
+- Real downstream consumer: `packages/webui/src/daemon/`.
+- Later migration targets: `packages/cli/src/ui/`, `packages/channels/base/`, and `packages/vscode-ide-companion/src/services/daemonIdeConnection.ts`.
+- Parallel references: [`../daemon-ui/README.md`](../daemon-ui/README.md), [`../daemon-ui/MIGRATION.md`](../daemon-ui/MIGRATION.md), and [`../daemon-client-adapters/web-ui.md`](../daemon-client-adapters/web-ui.md).
+
+## Configuration
+
+- No runtime configuration. Reducers and selectors are pure functions.
+- Hosts choose their renderer: HTML (`render.ts`), terminal (`terminal.ts`), or custom rendering.
+- For debugging, `render.ts` supports `includeRawEvent: true` to include the raw wire frame in rendered output.
+
+## Caveats and known limits
+
+- **`daemon-tui-adapter.ts` still exists**. It is the CLI package's legacy experimental adapter. New code should prefer SDK `ui/*`: `normalizeDaemonEvent`, `reduceDaemonTranscriptEvents`, and `DaemonTranscriptBlock`.
+- **CLI TUI, channel base, and VS Code IDE are not migrated yet**. They still maintain their own rendering logic. The `docs/developers/daemon-client-adapters/` directory still has `ide.md`, `channel-web.md`, and the historical `tui.md` draft; the newer `web-ui.md` covers the web UI adapter design.
+- **`eventId` is the primary ordering key**. `createdAt` remains as a deprecated alias (`clientReceivedAt`). New code should use `selectTranscriptBlocksOrderedByEventId(state)`. `MIGRATION.md` shows the code diff for switching from `createdAt` ordering to `eventId` ordering.
+- **Unknown wire types normalize to `debug`**. They are no longer dropped as in the old adapter. Renderers do not show `debug` by default; hosts must opt in to display it.
+- **Bundle size**: the `ui/*` subpackage is exported as an ESM subpath through `@qwen-code/sdk/daemon` and does not pull in React or DOM dependencies. React integration is only loaded when a web UI consumer uses `DaemonSessionProvider`.

+# Channel Adapters
+
+## Overview
+
+`packages/channels/` contains the **IM channel adapters** that turn a chat platform's incoming message into a daemon prompt and the daemon's outbound events into chat platform messages. Four concrete channels ship today: DingTalk, WeChat (Weixin), Telegram, and Feishu. They share a base layer (`packages/channels/base/`) plus a `DaemonChannelBridge` that handles session multiplexing and SSE consumption.
+
+Each channel maps inbound chat traffic to daemon sessions under a configurable `SessionScope` (`user`, `thread`, or `single`). The adapter delegates to `DaemonChannelBridge`, which delegates to the SDK's `DaemonSessionClient` (see [`13-sdk-daemon-client.md`](./13-sdk-daemon-client.md)).
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Receive inbound messages from the channel's native transport (DingTalk WebSocket stream, WeChat HTTP long-poll, Telegram Bot long-poll, Feishu WebSocket or HTTP webhook).
+- Resolve `(senderId, groupId?)` into a daemon session via `DaemonChannelSessionFactory`.
+- Forward the user message as a daemon prompt and stream the response back as outbound chat messages, possibly chunked.
+- Render permission requests as chat-native prompts when interactive; otherwise auto-approve according to `ChannelConfig.approvalMode`.
+- Apply sender gating (allowlists / denylists), group gating, and content normalization (markdown / HTML per channel).
+
+## Architecture
+
+### `DaemonChannelBridge` (shared base, `packages/channels/base/src/DaemonChannelBridge.ts`)
+
+```ts
+class DaemonChannelBridge extends EventEmitter {
+  constructor(opts: {
+    cwd: string;
+    sessionFactory: DaemonChannelSessionFactory;
+    modelServiceId?: string;
+    sessionScope?: SessionScope;
+  });
+  newSession(cwd: string): Promise;
+  loadSession(sessionId: string, cwd: string): Promise;
+  prompt(sessionId: string, text: string, options?): Promise;
+  cancelSession(sessionId: string): Promise;
+  stop(): void;
+}
+```
+
+Holds daemon session clients keyed by daemon `sessionId`; `ChannelBase` and `SessionRouter` decide which inbound chat target maps to that session. Each attached session has:
+
+- A `DaemonChannelSessionClient` (shape of `DaemonSessionClient` minus channel-irrelevant methods).
+- A live SSE consumer pump.
+- A debounced prompt assembler (for adapters that fragment user input across multiple inbound messages).
+- An auto-approve policy per request.
+
+Events emitted: `textChunk`, `toolCall`, `sessionUpdate`, `permissionRequest`, `permissionResolved`, `modelSwitched`, `modelSwitchFailed`, `sessionDied`, `promptComplete`, and `error`. Channel adapters wire these into platform-native APIs.
+
+### `ChannelBase` (`packages/channels/base/src/ChannelBase.ts`)
+
+Abstract base every adapter extends:
+
+```ts
+abstract class ChannelBase {
+  abstract connect(): Promise;
+  abstract sendMessage(chatId: string, text: string): Promise;
+  abstract disconnect(): void;
+  handleInbound(envelope: Envelope): Promise; // → SessionRouter.resolve + bridge.prompt
+}
+```
+
+Handles common cross-cutting concerns: sender gating (allowlist / denylist), group gating, message block streaming (chunk size, throttling), inbound debounce.
+
+### Per-channel adapters
+
+| Adapter         | File                                                | Transport                                              | Notes                                                                                                        |
+| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| DingTalk        | `packages/channels/dingtalk/src/DingtalkAdapter.ts` | DingTalk Stream SDK WebSocket                          | Sends via `sessionWebhook` POST; media images downloaded via DT API, base64 in envelope.                     |
+| WeChat (Weixin) | `packages/channels/weixin/src/WeixinAdapter.ts`     | iLink Bot HTTP long-poll                               | Sends via proprietary `sendText` / `sendImage` API; typing indicators.                                       |
+| Telegram        | `packages/channels/telegram/src/TelegramAdapter.ts` | Telegram Bot API long-poll (grammy)                    | Sends HTML chunks via `sendMessage`.                                                                         |
+| Feishu          | `packages/channels/feishu/src/FeishuAdapter.ts`     | Feishu/Lark Stream WebSocket (default) or HTTP webhook | Sends via Lark SDK as interactive cards; webhook mode requires `encryptKey` for HMAC signature verification. |
+
+Each adapter implements:
+
+1. Inbound transport (subscribe / poll for messages).
+2. Envelope construction (`{ senderId, groupId?, text, media?, raw }`).
+3. Sender / group gating (delegates to `ChannelBase`).
+4. Outbound serialization (markdown → HTML / WeChat-native / DingTalk-native).
+5. Lifecycle (start / shutdown).
+
+### Adapter matrix
+
+| Adapter      | Transport                       | Identity                                                 | Permission UX                       | Auto-approve config                               |
+| ------------ | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| **DingTalk** | WebSocket stream                | `senderStaffId` (+ optional `conversationId` for groups) | Inline buttons via DT markdown      | `ChannelConfig.approvalMode = 'auto' \| 'prompt'` |
+| **WeChat**   | HTTP long-poll                  | `senderWxid` (+ optional `groupWxid`)                    | Text-only prompts with reply tokens | Same                                              |
+| **Telegram** | Bot API long-poll               | `from.id` (+ optional `chat.id` for groups)              | Inline keyboard buttons             | Same                                              |
+| **Feishu**   | WebSocket stream / HTTP webhook | `sender.open_id` (+ optional `chat_id` for groups)       | Interactive card buttons            | Same                                              |
+
+> **Note:** The "Permission UX" column describes each platform's native affordance, but none is wired up yet — `AcpBridge.requestPermission` currently auto-approves every request (`packages/channels/base/src/AcpBridge.ts`), and `ChannelConfig.approvalMode` is declared but not yet read. Interactive approval is planned (Phase 5).

+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+- `DaemonChannelBridge` lives for the lifetime of the channel adapter; sessions inside it live according to the configured `SessionScope`.
+- Each active session reconnects automatically if SSE drops — `DaemonSessionClient.events()` tracks `lastSeenEventId` so replay is correct.
+- `shutdown()` closes every active session and the underlying transport (the channel's WebSocket / long-poll).
+- DingTalk's WebSocket stream supports server-push; WeChat's long-poll requires a backoff strategy on idle responses; Telegram's long-poll has a built-in `timeout` parameter.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `packages/channels/base/` — `ChannelBase`, `DaemonChannelBridge`, `types.ts` (`ChannelConfig`, `Envelope`, `SessionScope`, `ChannelPlugin`).
+- `packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/` — `DaemonSessionClient` and friends.
+- Per-channel SDKs: `@dingtalk/stream` (DingTalk), proprietary iLink Bot HTTP (Weixin), `grammy` (Telegram).
+
+## Configuration

+| ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `sessionScope`                           | `'user'` (sender + chat), `'thread'` (thread id or chat), or `'single'` (one shared session per channel). |
+| `approvalMode`                           | `'auto'` (auto-respond) / `'prompt'` (render UI).                                                         |
+| `allowlist?: string[]`                   | Sender ids allowed; missing = open.                                                                       |
+| `denylist?: string[]`                    | Sender ids denied.                                                                                        |

+| `daemon: { baseUrl, token?, clientId? }` | Forwarded to `DaemonChannelSessionFactory`.                                                               |
+
+Channel-specific keys layer on top (DingTalk: `streamCredentials`; WeChat: `ilinkUrl`, `botId`; Telegram: `botToken`; Feishu: `clientId` (appId), `clientSecret` (appSecret), `verificationToken`, `encryptKey` (webhook mode)).
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- **Channels do not directly import `@qwen-code/sdk`.** They go through `ChannelBase` → `DaemonChannelBridge` → `DaemonChannelSessionClient` (which the bridge constructs from the SDK). The indirection lets the bridge swap implementations, such as a test stub, without requiring channel changes.
+- **Permission UX is per-channel.** DingTalk uses markdown buttons; WeChat is text-only; Telegram uses inline keyboards; Feishu uses interactive card buttons. (All currently auto-approve via `AcpBridge`; interactive approval is planned.) No common "interactive permission widget" abstraction yet.
+- **Auto-approve is a deployment-side decision**, not a daemon-side one. The daemon's `permission_mediation` policy still applies; auto-approve only means the channel responds without prompting the human. Do not combine `auto` with `enforce`-grade workflows.
+- **Per-channel rate limits / message-size limits are the adapter's job.** `DaemonChannelBridge` only handles chunking; pushing past WeChat's per-message size or Telegram's flood limit is on the adapter.
+- **No DingTalk / WeChat / Telegram / Feishu reverse-call** — channels are one-way (chat → daemon → chat). The IM platform's native push path, such as a DingTalk card callback, is not wired into the bridge yet.

+# VS Code IDE Daemon Adapter
+
+## Overview
+
+`packages/vscode-ide-companion/src/services/daemonIdeConnection.ts` is the **VS Code extension's daemon adapter**. It lets the IDE companion connect to a running `qwen serve` daemon over HTTP + SSE instead of launching an in-process `qwen --acp` stdio child (the legacy `AcpConnectionState` path). It is the sibling-transport equivalent of [`14-cli-tui-adapter.md`](./14-cli-tui-adapter.md) for VS Code hosts.
+
+The IDE's chat webview consumes daemon events through this adapter; permission prompts surface as native VS Code quick-pick dialogs.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- Construct a `DaemonClient` + `DaemonSessionClient` from a loopback-validated `baseUrl` passed to `connect(options)`.
+- Pump SSE events from the session client into per-callback dispatch (`onSessionUpdate`, `onPermissionRequest`, `onAskUserQuestion`, `onEndTurn`, `onDisconnected`).
+- Enforce a **loopback-only** invariant in `connect(options)` (the IDE should only ever connect to a daemon on the same host).
+- Bridge daemon events into webview `postMessage`s so the chat panel stays in sync.
+- Surface permission requests through VS Code's native quick-pick UI.
+- Serialize calls into a queue so a rapid double-`connect()` from the host does not race.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Public surface
+
+```ts
+class DaemonIdeConnection {
+  connect(options: DaemonIdeConnectionOptions): Promise;
+  disconnect(): Promise;
+  sendPrompt(prompt: string | ContentBlock[]): Promise;
+  cancelSession(): Promise;
+  setModel(modelId: string): Promise;
+
+  onSessionUpdate: (data: SessionNotification) => void;
+  onPermissionRequest: (
+    data: RequestPermissionRequest,
+  ) => Promise<{ optionId?: string }>;
+  onAskUserQuestion: (data: AskUserQuestionRequest) => Promise<{
+    optionId: string;
+    answers?: Record;
+  }>;
+  onEndTurn: (reason?: string) => void;
+  onDisconnected: (code: number | null, signal: string | null) => void;
+}
+
+interface DaemonIdeConnectionOptions {
+  baseUrl: string; // MUST be loopback (127.0.0.1 / localhost / [::1])
+  token?: string;
+  workspaceCwd?: string;
+  modelServiceId?: string;
+  lastEventId?: number;
+  sessionFactory?: DaemonIdeSessionFactory;
+}
+```
+
+### Loopback validation
+
+In `connectInternal()`:
+
+```ts
+const baseUrl = validateDaemonBaseUrl(options.baseUrl);
+```
+
+This is a **client-side hard constraint** distinct from the daemon's own `hostAllowlist` (see [`12-auth-security.md`](./12-auth-security.md)). The IDE companion will never connect to a remote daemon — even if the operator configured one. Rationale: VS Code's threat model assumes the workspace and the daemon share the same host, including filesystem trust and related assumptions.
+
+### `createSdkDaemonSessionFactory()`
+
+`createSdkDaemonSessionFactory()` constructs `DaemonClient` and calls
+`DaemonSessionClient.createOrAttach()` from `@qwen-code/sdk`. The connection
+class holds the factory rather than instantiating directly so tests can inject a
+fake.
+
+### Event dispatch
+
+The connection runs one SSE consumer (`for await` over `session.events()`) and routes each event by type:
+
+| Daemon event / source                                                                                   | IDE callback / action                                                    |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `session_update`                                                                                        | `onSessionUpdate`                                                        |
+| Normal `permission_request`                                                                             | `onPermissionRequest`, then `respondToPermission()`                      |
+| `permission_request` where `toolCall.kind === 'ask_user_question'` and `rawInput.questions` is an array | `onAskUserQuestion`, then forward `answers` to the daemon                |
+| `session_died` with a payload `sessionId` matching the current session                                  | `onDisconnected(null, reason)`                                           |
+| SSE natural end / stream failure / manual `disconnect()`                                                | `onDisconnected(null, 'stream_ended' / 'daemon_error' / 'disconnected')` |
+| Other daemon events                                                                                     | Debug-level log; no IDE callback today.                                  |
+
+`onEndTurn` is not produced by SSE dispatch. `sendPrompt()` waits for the daemon
+HTTP prompt response and calls it with `response.stopReason`; non-abort
+exception paths call `onEndTurn('error')`.
+
+### Webview bridging
+
+The connection class is **transport-only**. The actual VS Code integration lives in `packages/vscode-ide-companion/src/webview/providers/ChatWebviewViewProvider.ts` (and friends). The provider subscribes to the connection's callbacks and translates them into webview `postMessage` calls. The webview itself uses the shared `packages/webui/` component library to render — see Adapter Matrix in [`01-architecture.md`](./01-architecture.md).
+
+### Connect serialization
+
+`connect()` uses an internal queue so a rapid double call from the host (e.g. user opens the panel twice during an in-flight handshake) does not race. The second call awaits the first; the connection ends up in a single, deterministic state.
+

+```
+
+## State & Lifecycle
+
+- Construction is synchronous; **no network I/O** until `connect(options)`.
+- `connect()` is idempotent through the internal queue; calling twice serializes.
+- `disconnect()` aborts the SSE iterator (`AbortController` on the pump) and clears callback registrations.
+- `lastEventId` is captured from the SDK's `DaemonSessionClient` on disconnect and can be re-supplied on the next `connect()` for resume.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/` — `DaemonClient`, `DaemonSessionClient` (the actual transport).
+- VS Code extension API (`vscode.*`) — host APIs, quick-pick, webview.
+- `packages/webui/src/adapters/ACPAdapter.ts` — webview rendering of ACP-shaped messages relayed via `postMessage`.
+
+## Configuration

+| ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `baseUrl`                                            | `connect(options)`                | Daemon URL; must be loopback.                                     |
+| `token`                                              | `connect(options)`                | Bearer token (stamped via SDK).                                   |
+| `workspaceCwd`                                       | `connect(options)`                | Used on `POST /session`; must match the daemon's bound workspace. |
+| `modelServiceId`                                     | `connect(options)` / `setModel()` | Initial model.                                                    |
+| `lastEventId`                                        | `connect(options)`                | Resume cursor (typically restored from host state).               |
+| VS Code setting `qwen.ide.daemonUrl` (or equivalent) | Workspace settings                | Operator-configured daemon URL.                                   |
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- **Loopback-only — hard refusal in `connect(options)`.** Operators who want to point the IDE at a remote daemon need to use SSH port-forward / local proxy; the adapter will not connect to a non-loopback URL.
+- **The legacy `AcpConnectionState` path is still primary** in the IDE companion (stdio child). This adapter is the sibling-transport for Mode-B migration; see [`../daemon-client-adapters/ide.md`](../daemon-client-adapters/ide.md) for the migration blockers and the planned `BridgeFileSystem` parity work.
+- **No reverse RPC or editor-affordance surface yet over HTTP.** Features that require the agent to call back into the IDE (e.g. read-only buffer access, diff preview integration) currently live only on the stdio path.
+- **Webview ↔ connection coupling is host-owned**, not in this adapter. Do not push webview-specific logic into `DaemonIdeConnection`.
+- **`workspaceCwd` mismatch** with the daemon's bound workspace returns `400 workspace_mismatch` — surface this as a clear setup error rather than retrying.

+# Error Taxonomy & Remediation
+
+## Overview
+
+The daemon's failure modes are deliberately closed unions so SDK consumers can exhaustively switch and route handlers can shape consistent HTTP responses. This doc catalogues every typed error class / kind across three layers:
+
+1. **`packages/cli/src/serve/`** — boundary errors at the HTTP edge (auth, workspace filesystem, daemon-host preflight).
+2. **`packages/acp-bridge/`** — bridge / mediator errors at the daemon-to-ACP-child boundary.
+3. **`packages/sdk-typescript/src/daemon/`** — SDK-side wrapping and structured error fields.
+
+Wire-level error shapes are documented in [`../qwen-serve-protocol.md`](../qwen-serve-protocol.md); this doc adds cause and remediation guidance.
+
+## Filesystem boundary (`packages/cli/src/serve/fs/errors.ts`)
+
+`FsError` carries `{ kind, message, status, cause? }`. `FsErrorKind` union (14 kinds, default HTTP status):
+
+| Kind                     | HTTP      | Cause                                                                          | Remediation                                                                                                             |

+| `UpstreamDeviceFlowError`    | The upstream IdP returns a structured error while polling. | `oauthError` is sanitized with `sanitizeForStderr` before interpolation into stderr or audit hints (CVE-2021-42574 / Trojan Source defense; see [`12-auth-security.md`](./12-auth-security.md)).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
+| `DeviceFlowPollTimeoutError` | The registry race timer fires before the provider returns. | Provider code must not throw this type. It is exported for tests, but the registry gates `pollTimedOut` on the runtime brand `_isRegistryTimeout: boolean`, not `instanceof`. A provider that imports and throws `new DeviceFlowPollTimeoutError(ms)` still follows the generic provider-throw audit path because `_isRegistryTimeout` defaults to `false`; only the internal factory `makeRegistryPollTimeoutError(ms)` sets the brand. |
+
+## Daemon-host error kinds (`packages/acp-bridge/src/status.ts`)
+
+`SERVE_ERROR_KINDS` is the closed enum used by diagnostic cells and structured daemon errors:
+
+| Kind                       | Meaning                                                                 |
+| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `missing_binary`           | Required local executable or CLI entry could not be resolved.           |
+| `blocked_egress`           | Outbound network probe failed.                                          |
+| `auth_env_error`           | Auth-related env var, provider, or trust-gate configuration is invalid. |
+| `init_timeout`             | Daemon-side init step exceeded its wallclock.                           |
+| `protocol_error`           | ACP / HTTP protocol mismatch.                                           |
+| `missing_file`             | Required local file missing.                                            |
+| `parse_error`              | Local file or request parse error.                                      |
+| `stat_failed`              | Local filesystem stat failed.                                           |
+| `budget_exhausted`         | MCP budget enforcement refused discovery or a server entry.             |
+| `mcp_budget_would_exceed`  | MCP restart or mutation would exceed the configured budget.             |
+| `mcp_server_spawn_failed`  | MCP server spawn or restart failed.                                     |
+| `invalid_config`           | MCP or daemon configuration was invalid.                                |
+| `prompt_deadline_exceeded` | Prompt wallclock deadline expired.                                      |
+| `writer_idle_timeout`      | SSE writer made no successful writes before its idle timeout.           |
+
+These are surfaced through the preflight cell's `errorKind` so client UIs render structured remediation (not raw stack traces).
+
+## Auth error shapes
+
+| Status | Body                                         | When                                                                                                                                      |
+| ------ | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `401`  | `{ error: 'Unauthorized' }`                  | Missing / wrong / no-scheme bearer token. Uniform across `missing header` / `wrong scheme` / `wrong token` so probing cannot distinguish. |
+| `401`  | `{ error: '...', code: 'token_required' }`   | Mutation-gate strict route on a no-token loopback daemon. SDKs render "configure --token / --require-auth" hint.                          |
+| `403`  | `{ error: 'Request denied by CORS policy' }` | `denyBrowserOriginCors` rejected an `Origin`-bearing request.                                                                             |
+| `403`  | `{ error: 'Invalid Host header' }`           | `hostAllowlist` rejected the `Host` header (DNS rebinding defense).                                                                       |
+
+See [`12-auth-security.md`](./12-auth-security.md) for the full auth model.
+
+## Permission outcomes (wire vs audit overload)
+
+`PermissionResolution` has two terminal kinds:
+
+- `{kind: 'option', optionId}` — a vote won.
+- `{kind: 'cancelled', reason: 'timeout' \| 'session_closed' \| 'agent_cancelled'}` — request was cancelled. The wire shape is single (`{outcome: 'cancelled'}`); the audit log distinguishes timeout / session_closed / voter-cancelled / agent-cancelled in `decisionReason.type`. This overload is preserved deliberately to avoid breaking the frozen `permission.ts` contract.
+
+## SDK-side error wrapping
+
+`DaemonClient` returns HTTP errors as rejected Promises with the parsed body as the rejection value. Methods that hit `404` for unknown sessions reject with `{error, sessionId}`; the SDK does not wrap them in a typed class today. Callers should not rely on `instanceof Error` plus `.message.includes(...)` matching; switch on `err.code` or `err.kind` from the body instead.
+
+`parseSseStream` aborts the iterator on 16-MiB buffer overflow (defensive bound).
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Surface an error to a user
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    A[HTTP 4xx/5xx body] --> B["switch on body.code OR errorKind"]
+    B --> C["Render remediation per this doc's table"]
+    B --> D["fallback: render body.error as toast"]
+```
+
+### Distinguish auth failure modes
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A["401 received"] --> B{"body.code == 'token_required'?"}
+    B -->|yes| C["mutation-gate strict — guide user to --token / --require-auth"]
+    B -->|no| D["plain Unauthorized — generic 'check token' UI"]
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- All error classes are exported from their respective packages; SDK consumers can `instanceof` against `bridgeErrors.ts` types when running in the same Node process. Across the wire, route on `body.code` / `body.kind` / `body.errorKind`.
+
+## Caveats & Known Limits
+
+- **`io_error` vs `permission_denied`** are distinct on purpose. Do not conflate.
+- **`PermissionForbiddenError` reasons (`designated_mismatch` / `remote_not_allowed`) are overloaded** across the `designated` and `consensus` policies; the audit log distinguishes them precisely but the wire form does not.
+- **`CancelSentinelCollisionError` indicates an agent-side bug**, not a security event — the bridge refuses the request rather than silently letting the sentinel match a real option.
+- **SDK-side typed errors are still evolving.** Callers should route on body fields rather than relying on JS class identity through the wire.
+- **`internal_error` should always be investigated.** It signals an `FsError` constructor was called with a kind reserved for non-errno paths (programmer error); the response body's `cause` field may carry the original throw.

+# Observability & Debugging
+
+## Overview
+
+`qwen serve` currently ships with **OpenTelemetry span instrumentation**, **structured file logs** (`DaemonLogger`), **per-request access logs**, debug stderr logs, structured preflight cells, and an in-memory permission audit ring. This page is a practical guide to the current observability surface and the gaps to remember during triage.

Supports `info` / `warn` / `error` levels, with structured fields such as `route`, `sessionId`, `clientId`, `childPid`, and `channelId`.                                                        |
+| Per-request access-log middleware           | `server.ts`, registered before `bearerAuth`    | Logs `method`, `path`, `status`, `durationMs`, `sessionId`, and `clientId` after each request. Skips `GET /health` and heartbeat. 4xx+ uses `warn`; success uses `info`.                                                                                                                  |

+
+## What does not exist today
+
+- **No Prometheus / metrics endpoint.** There is no `process_cpu_seconds_total`, `http_requests_total`, or `event_bus_queue_depth`.
+- **No external audit sink for `PermissionAuditRing`.** The ring exists, but fan-out hooks to SIEM or external storage are not wired.
+
+## Debugging recipes
+
+### 1. Is the daemon alive?
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4170/health
+# {"status":"ok"}
+
+curl -s 'http://127.0.0.1:4170/health?deep=1' | jq
+# {"status":"ok","workspaceCwd":"/path","sessions":N,...}
+```
+
+A 401 on loopback means `--require-auth` is likely enabled. Use `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG=1` at startup to see boot logs.
+
+### 2. Which features are advertised?
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4170/capabilities | jq
+```
+
+Check `mcp_workspace_pool` (F2 pool on?), `require_auth` (hardened?), `permission_mediation.modes` (supported policies), and `policy.permission` (active policy).
+
+### 3. Is daemon-host readiness healthy?
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4170/workspace/preflight | jq
+```
+
+`status: 'not_started'` cells are ACP-level and populate only after the first session attaches. `status: 'fail'` cells include a closed `errorKind`; render structured remediation from [`18-error-taxonomy.md`](./18-error-taxonomy.md).
+
+### 4. Tail a session SSE stream
+
+```bash
+curl -N -H 'Accept: text/event-stream' \
+     -H 'Authorization: Bearer XYZ' \
+     -H 'X-Qwen-Client-Id: debug-tail' \
+     -H 'Last-Event-ID: 0' \
+     'http://127.0.0.1:4170/session//events'
+```
+
+`-N` disables curl output buffering. `Last-Event-ID: 0` requests replay for ring events with `id > 0`.
+
+### 5. Why did a permission request resolve this way?
+
+`PermissionAuditRing` is in-memory and has no HTTP surface today. Enable `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG=1` and reproduce; the mediator prints structured lines for each vote and decision, including `decisionReason.type`. A later PR can expose the ring through HTTP.
+
+### 6. Which consumer is slow?
+
+`slow_client_warning` fires once per overflow episode when the queue reaches 75%. Subscribe to the session SSE stream and look for the synthetic frame; payload includes `queueSize`, `maxQueued`, and `lastEventId`. Repeated warnings point at a stuck consumer, usually a blocked SDK `for await` loop.
+
+### 7. Why was an MCP server refused?
+
+Combine `/workspace/mcp` per-cell `disabledReason: 'budget'`, the `refusedServerNames` list, and `mcp_child_refused_batch` SSE events. Compare them with `/capabilities` `mcp_guardrails.modes` (`enforce` active?) and the live `--mcp-client-budget` state visible through `getReservedSlots()`.
+
+### 8. The daemon will not shut down
+
+The first signal triggers graceful shutdown (see [`02-serve-runtime.md`](./02-serve-runtime.md)). If it hangs past 10s, check:
+
+- ACP child process did not respond to graceful close.
+- Long SSE connections kept HTTP `server.close()` open past `SHUTDOWN_FORCE_CLOSE_MS` (5s).
+
+A **second** SIGTERM/SIGINT intentionally triggers `bridge.killAllSync()` + `process.exit(1)`.
+
+## Flow
+
+### Typical triage flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A[User reports issue] --> B{daemon alive?}
+    B -->|no| BD[check process; check boot logs]
+    B -->|yes| C{capabilities match expectations?}
+    C -->|no| CD["check --require-auth, QWEN_SERVE_NO_MCP_POOL, settings.json"]
+    C -->|yes| D{preflight all green?}
+    D -->|no| DD["fix the errorKind cell"]
+    D -->|yes| E{issue is session-specific?}
+    E -->|yes| ES["tail SSE for that session;
QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG=1 + reproduce"]
+    E -->|no| EW["check /workspace/mcp,
/workspace/env"]
+```
+
+## State and lifecycle
+
+- `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG` is read on every check through `isServeDebugMode()` from `debug-mode.ts`; toggling it does not require restart. Boot logs are not available unless the env was set at boot.
+- `PermissionAuditRing` is bounded at 512 FIFO entries; older records are silently dropped.
+- `DaemonStatusProvider` rebuilds cells per request and does not cache; avoid unnecessary high-frequency polling.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `process.stderr.write` for debug stderr.
+- `DaemonLogger` for structured file logs.
+- OpenTelemetry SDK through `initializeTelemetry` and `createDaemonBridgeTelemetry`.
+- `node:process` for env and signal inspection.
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Knob                            | Effect                                                                                       |
+| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG`              | Enables verbose stderr logs. See [`17-configuration.md`](./17-configuration.md).             |
+| `settings.json` `telemetry`     | Controls OTel behavior: `enabled`, `otlpEndpoint`, `otlpProtocol`, and per-signal endpoints. |
+| `DaemonLogger` log path         | Generated at boot and printed to stderr as `daemon log -> `.                           |
+| `PermissionAuditRing` size      | Hard-coded to 512 today.                                                                     |
+| `slow_client_warning` threshold | `0.75` / `0.375`, hard-coded in `eventBus.ts`.                                               |
+
+## Caveats and known limits
+
+- **DaemonLogger file logs are structured** and can be filtered by `route`, `sessionId`, and `clientId`. `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG` stderr logs remain unstructured text.
+- **OpenTelemetry spans include per-request correlation.** Each HTTP request span carries route, sessionId, and clientId attributes that can be joined in a tracing backend.
+- **ACP-level `/workspace/preflight` cells require a live session.** On an idle daemon, auth / MCP / skills / providers may show `status: 'not_started'`; this is expected.
+- **`/workspace/env` only reports secret presence, not values.** Do not expose the response where the mere presence of a secret is sensitive.
+- **The audit ring is process-local** and history is lost on daemon restart.
+- **No load-test recipe is documented here.** The performance baseline lives on the `test/perf-daemon-baseline` branch.

+# Quickstart & Operations
+
+This page focuses on **how to start `qwen serve`, how to verify that it is working, and what the internal call chain looks like from `qwen serve` to the listening server**. Architecture, components, and wire protocol details live in the other daemon deep-dive pages.
+
+## 1. Shortest path
+
+```bash
+qwen serve
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```text
+qwen serve listening on http://127.0.0.1:4170 (mode=http-bridge, workspace=/your/cwd)
+qwen serve: bound to workspace "/your/cwd"
+qwen serve: bearer auth disabled (loopback default). Set QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN to enable.
+```
+
+Open `http://127.0.0.1:4170/demo` in a browser to see the debug console: chat UI, event stream, and workspace inspection. In the default loopback dev mode, `/demo` is registered **before** `bearerAuth` in the loopback route branch of `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts`, so no token is required.
+
+## 2. Launch recipes
+
+```bash
+# 1. Local dev default (loopback, no token)
+qwen serve
+
+# 2. Explicit workspace + ephemeral port
+qwen serve --workspace /path/to/repo --port 0
+
+# 3. Hardened loopback development (force bearer even on loopback)
+QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32) qwen serve --require-auth
+
+# 4. Expose to LAN (non-loopback requires a token)
+QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \
+  qwen serve --hostname 0.0.0.0 --port 4170
+
+# 5. Tune for many sessions and a larger replay ring
+qwen serve --max-sessions 0 --event-ring-size 32000
+
+# 6. Multi-client collaboration + strict MCP budget
+QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN=secret \
+  qwen serve --require-auth \
+             --mcp-client-budget 10 \
+             --mcp-budget-mode enforce
+
+# 7. Start with a consensus policy configured in settings.json
+# settings.json: { "policy": { "permissionStrategy": "consensus", "consensusQuorum": 2 } }
+qwen serve
+
+# 8. Debug logging
+QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG=1 qwen serve
+
+# 9. Disable the F2 pool (fallback to per-session MCP clients)
+QWEN_SERVE_NO_MCP_POOL=1 qwen serve
+
+# 10. Allow browser web UI cross-origin access
+QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN=secret \
+  qwen serve --allow-origin 'http://localhost:3000'
+
+# 11. Prompt deadline + SSE idle timeout
+qwen serve --prompt-deadline-ms 300000 --writer-idle-timeout-ms 600000
+
+# 12. Keep the ACP child warm after the last session closes
+qwen serve --channel-idle-timeout-ms 60000
+
+# 13. Enable HTTP rate limiting
+QWEN_SERVE_RATE_LIMIT=1 qwen serve
+```
+
+With the hardened loopback recipe (3), `/demo` is registered after `bearerAuth`. A normal browser navigation needs an auth header, so use curl or an SDK script instead.
+
+## 3. Full startup flags
+
+The CLI is defined in **`packages/cli/src/commands/serve.ts`**:

+| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN`                 | Equivalent to `--token`; `--token` wins. Trimmed once at boot to avoid a trailing newline from `cat token.txt`.                                                         |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG`                  | `1` / `true` / `on` / `yes` (case-insensitive) enables verbose stderr logs.                                                                                             |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_NO_MCP_POOL`            | `1` disables the workspace MCP pool entirely and falls back to per-session `McpClientManager`. Capabilities stop advertising `mcp_workspace_pool` / `mcp_pool_restart`. |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_CLIENT_BUDGET`      | ACP-child internal budget input. The CLI generates it from `--mcp-client-budget` through `childEnvOverrides`; it is not a parent-process env fallback.                  |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_BUDGET_MODE`        | ACP-child internal budget mode. The CLI generates it from `--mcp-budget-mode` through `childEnvOverrides`; it is not a parent-process env fallback.                     |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_PROMPT_DEADLINE_MS`     | Env fallback for `--prompt-deadline-ms`.                                                                                                                                |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_WRITER_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS` | Env fallback for `--writer-idle-timeout-ms`.                                                                                                                            |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_POOL_TRANSPORTS`    | Read by the ACP child. Comma-separated pooled transport allowlist; default is `stdio,websocket`.                                                                        |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_MCP_POOL_DRAIN_MS`      | Read by the ACP child. Pool entry idle drain delay; default is `30000`, clamped to `1000..600000` ms.                                                                   |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_RATE_LIMIT`             | `1` / `true` enables rate limiting; CLI flag wins.                                                                                                                      |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_RATE_LIMIT_PROMPT`      | Env fallback for `--rate-limit-prompt`.                                                                                                                                 |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_RATE_LIMIT_MUTATION`    | Env fallback for `--rate-limit-mutation`.                                                                                                                               |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_RATE_LIMIT_READ`        | Env fallback for `--rate-limit-read`.                                                                                                                                   |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MS`   | Env fallback for `--rate-limit-window-ms`.                                                                                                                              |
+
+Per-handle env overrides are intentional: two daemons running in the same process do not race on `process.env`. `defaultSpawnChannelFactory` snapshots env at spawn time.
+
+## 5. `settings.json` is also read
+
+Boot calls `loadSettings(boundWorkspace)` once:
+
+| Key                         | Type                                                               | Behavior                                                                                                                                                                 |
+| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `policy.permissionStrategy` | `'first-responder' \| 'designated' \| 'consensus' \| 'local-only'` | Sets `BridgeOptions.permissionPolicy`. **Boot validates with `validatePolicyConfig`**; unknown values throw `InvalidPolicyConfigError` instead of falling back silently. |
+| `policy.consensusQuorum`    | positive integer                                                   | N for the `consensus` policy. Default is `floor(M/2)+1`. If set under a non-consensus policy, it is ignored and boot logs a stderr warning.                              |
+| `context.fileName`          | string                                                             | Overrides `getCurrentGeminiMdFilename()` and controls which file `POST /workspace/init` writes.                                                                          |
+| `tools.disabled`            | string[]                                                           | Normalized through `normalizeDisabledToolList()` (trim, drop empty entries, dedupe) before affecting the next ACP child spawn.                                           |
+| `tools.approvalMode`        | string                                                             | Default session approval mode.                                                                                                                                           |
+| `telemetry`                 | object                                                             | OTel configuration: `enabled`, `otlpEndpoint`, `otlpProtocol`, per-signal endpoints, and more. See [`17-configuration.md`](./17-configuration.md).                       |
+
+Settings I/O failure, such as malformed JSON, falls back to defaults. `InvalidPolicyConfigError` is the exception: policy misconfiguration fails boot explicitly.
+
+## 6. Boot refusal scenarios (explicit failures)

+`run-qwen-serve.ts` intentionally throws instead of falling back in these cases:

+```
+
+Key facts:
+
+- **`createServeApp` only builds; it does not listen.** It returns an `express()` instance with middleware and routes mounted. The caller owns `app.listen()`. `server.test.ts` uses the factory this way across roughly 25 cases, so the factory intentionally avoids owning lifecycle.
+- **`() => actualPort` is a lazy closure.** `actualPort` is assigned in the `app.listen` callback. The `hostAllowlist` middleware reads it on demand, so ephemeral ports (`--port 0`) still gate the `Host` header correctly.
+- **`await blockForever()` is intentional.** If `yargs.parse()` resolves, the CLI top level falls through into the interactive TUI entrypoint (`gemini.tsx`). SIGINT / SIGTERM exit through `runQwenServe`'s `onSignal` path.
+
+## 10. HTTP route file split
+
+The main assembly happens in `createServeApp()` in `server.ts`, which mounts four modular route files:
+
+| Routes                                                                                                                    | File                                                  | Mounting entry                                |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| `/health`, `/demo`, `/capabilities`, all session routes, device flow, permission vote, SSE, and single-server MCP restart | `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts`                    | Registered directly inside `createServeApp()` |
+| `/workspace/memory` (GET/POST)                                                                                            | `packages/cli/src/serve/workspace-memory.ts`           | `mountWorkspaceMemoryRoutes()`                |
+| All `/workspace/agents` CRUD routes                                                                                       | `packages/cli/src/serve/workspace-agents.ts`           | `mountWorkspaceAgentsRoutes()`                |
+| `GET /file`, `/file/bytes`, `/list`, `/glob`, `/stat`                                                                     | `packages/cli/src/serve/routes/workspace-file-read.ts`  | `registerWorkspaceFileReadRoutes()`           |
+| `POST /file/write`, `/file/edit`                                                                                          | `packages/cli/src/serve/routes/workspace-file-write.ts` | `registerWorkspaceFileWriteRoutes()`          |

+
+## 11. Graceful vs hard shutdown
+
+- **First SIGINT / SIGTERM** -> `runQwenServe` `onSignal` -> two-phase graceful shutdown:
+  1. `bridge.shutdown()`: each channel gets `KILL_HARD_DEADLINE_MS` (10s), then `channel.kill()`.
+  2. `server.close()`: in-flight requests drain, `SHUTDOWN_FORCE_CLOSE_MS` (5s) triggers `closeAllConnections()`, then a second 2s deadline applies.
+- **Second SIGINT / SIGTERM while already exiting** -> `bridge.killAllSync()` synchronously SIGKILLs all ACP children and calls `process.exit(1)` to avoid orphan processes.
+
+`RunHandle.close()` returned by `runQwenServe` is the programmatic equivalent for embedders and tests.
+
+## 12. Embedded invocation (bypass CLI)
+
+```ts
+import { runQwenServe } from '@qwen-code/qwen-code/serve';
+
+const handle = await runQwenServe({
+  port: 0, // ephemeral
+  hostname: '127.0.0.1',
+  mode: 'http-bridge',
+  maxSessions: 20,
+  workspace: '/abs/path/to/repo',
+});
+console.log(`Daemon at ${handle.url}`);
+// ... call handle.bridge directly or access handle.server
+await handle.close(); // programmatic shutdown
+```
+
+Or get the Express app directly and listen yourself:
+
+```ts
+import { createServeApp } from '@qwen-code/qwen-code/serve';
+
+const app = createServeApp(
+  {
+    port: 0,
+    hostname: '127.0.0.1',
+    mode: 'http-bridge',
+    maxSessions: 20,
+  },
+  () => 0,
+  {
+    /* deps: bridge, fsFactory, ... */
+  },
+);
+
+const server = app.listen(0, '127.0.0.1', () => {
+  console.log('listening on', server.address());
+});
+```
+
+Note: when calling `createServeApp` directly, the default `fsFactory.trusted = false`. Agent-side ACP `writeTextFile` is rejected as `untrusted_workspace`, and a stderr warning is printed once. Either inject `deps.fsFactory` with explicit trust, inject `deps.bridge`, or accept the trust-gated default behavior.
+
+## 13. Debugging recipes
+
+See the debugging section in [`19-observability.md`](./19-observability.md). The common commands are:
+
+```bash
+# Is the daemon alive?
+curl http://127.0.0.1:4170/health
+
+# Which capabilities are advertised?
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4170/capabilities | jq
+
+# Daemon-host readiness

+# Verbose logs

+**SDK env fallback (PR 27, v0.16-alpha)** — `DaemonClient` reads `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN` from the environment automatically when `token` is omitted, mirroring the daemon's own `--token` CLI fallback. So if your shell has `export QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN=...`, this is equivalent to the above:
+
+```ts
+// Same effect as token: process.env.QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN, but without the boilerplate.
+const client = new DaemonClient({ baseUrl: 'https://your-host:4170' });

+
+The fallback strips leading/trailing whitespace (handy for `export QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN="$(cat token.txt)"` where `cat` adds a newline) and treats empty / whitespace-only values as unset (a stale `export QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN=""` won't accidentally send `Authorization: Bearer ` with no token). The fallback runs once at construction; later `process.env` mutations don't affect already-built clients. Browser bundles (e.g. via `@qwen-code/webui`) get `undefined` cleanly because `globalThis.process` doesn't exist there.

 When the flag is on, the global `bearerAuth` middleware gates **every** route — including `/capabilities`. An **unauthenticated** client therefore cannot pre-flight `caps.features` to discover that auth is required: the discovery surface for that case is the **401 response body** itself (uniform across all routes per the [Authentication](#authentication) section). The `require_auth` capability tag is a **post-authentication confirmation** — once a client successfully authenticates and reads `/capabilities`, the tag's presence confirms the daemon was started with `--require-auth` (useful for audit / compliance UIs and for SDK clients to surface "this deployment is hardened" in a settings panel). Mutation routes that opt into per-route strict mode (Wave 4 follow-ups) refuse with `401 { code: "token_required", error: "…" }` when reached on a no-token loopback default — but with `--require-auth` enabled the global bearer middleware short-circuits the request before the per-route gate, so the legacy `Unauthorized` body is what unauthenticated callers actually see.
 
+**`--allow-origin ` (T2.4 [#4514](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/issues/4514)).** Browser webuis hitting the daemon cross-origin are blocked by default — any request carrying an `Origin` header returns `403 {"error":"Request denied by CORS policy"}` because CLI/SDK clients never send `Origin` and the daemon treats its presence as a sign the request came from a browser context the operator has not opted into. Pass `--allow-origin ` (repeatable) at boot to install an allowlist instead of the wall. Each pattern is either:
+
+- The literal `*` — admit any origin. **Risky**: boot refuses when `*` is configured but no bearer token is set (any source: `--token`, `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN`, or `--require-auth` which mandates a token at boot). The boot breadcrumb emits a stderr warning when `*` is in the list. **Recommendation**: pair with `--require-auth` on loopback binds so `/health` and `/demo` are also gated by the bearer — they're registered before the bearer middleware on loopback by default (so k8s/Compose probes can reach `/health` without a token), and a `*` allowlist makes them reachable from any cross-origin browser. On non-loopback binds the bearer is already mandatory at boot, so the `*` exposure surface is just `/health` (status JSON) and `/demo` (a static page whose JS still calls token-gated routes) — the actual API surface is gated regardless.
+- A canonical URL origin — `://[:]`. **No trailing slash, no path, no userinfo, no query.** Boot refuses with `InvalidAllowOriginPatternError` if the entry fails the round-trip `new URL(pattern).origin === pattern`; the error message names the bad pattern and the canonical form. Strict-by-intent: silent normalization (e.g. trimming a trailing `/`) would let typos slip through and accept ambiguous input.
+
+Matched origins receive the standard CORS response headers on every request:
+
+```
+Access-Control-Allow-Origin: 
+Vary: Origin
+Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS
+Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization, Content-Type, X-Qwen-Client-Id, Last-Event-ID
+Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400
+Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Retry-After
+```
+
+`Access-Control-Allow-Origin` echoes the request's origin verbatim (lowercase / uppercase as the browser sent it) rather than the literal `*`, even under the `*` pattern — browser caches key responses on it paired with `Vary: Origin`, and echoing leaves room to add `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials` in a later release without a schema change. `Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Retry-After` lets browser webuis honor daemon retry hints from `429` / `503` responses. `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials` is **NOT** sent today: the daemon authenticates via bearer-in-`Authorization`, which works cross-origin without `credentials: 'include'`.
+
+OPTIONS preflight requests (OPTIONS with `Access-Control-Request-Method` or `Access-Control-Request-Headers`) short-circuit with `204 No Content` plus the headers above. This is the conventional CORS pattern and is safe — the preflight only confirms which methods/headers the daemon will accept; the actual subsequent request still runs the full chain (host allowlist → bearer auth → routes), so anti-DNS-rebinding and bearer enforcement still fire before any state is read or mutated. Plain OPTIONS requests from matched origins keep flowing downstream with CORS headers attached.
+
+Origins that don't match the allowlist still get `403 {"error":"Request denied by CORS policy"}` — same envelope as the default wall, so clients that already parsed the wall's response don't have to special-case allowlist-deployed daemons. The reject path **does not** emit any `Access-Control-*` headers (the browser would ignore them, and emitting would indirectly advertise the allowlist size through header presence).
+
+The configured pattern list is intentionally NOT echoed in `/capabilities` — browser webui already knows its own origin (it called the daemon, after all), and surfacing the list would let an unauthenticated reader of `/capabilities` enumerate every trusted origin (useful recon for a misconfigured deployment). SDK clients gate on the `caps.features.allow_origin` tag for "this daemon honors cross-origin browser hits" without needing to know which specific origins.
+
+Loopback self-origin requests (e.g. the `/demo` page calling the daemon at the same `127.0.0.1:port`) are handled by a **separate** Origin-strip shim that runs BEFORE the CORS middleware and removes the `Origin` header for `127.0.0.1:port` / `localhost:port` / `[::1]:port` / `host.docker.internal:port`. So they pass through regardless of `--allow-origin` configuration — operators don't need to list the daemon's own port to make the demo page work.

 `slow_client_warning` covers two co-released SSE backpressure knobs introduced in #4175 Wave 2.5 PR 10: (a) the daemon emits a `slow_client_warning` synthetic event-stream frame when a subscriber's queue crosses 75% full, once per overflow episode (rearmed after the queue drains below 37.5%); (b) `GET /session/:id/events` accepts a `?maxQueued=N` query param (range `[16, 2048]`) to pre-size the per-subscriber backlog for cold reconnects against a large replay ring. The daemon-wide ring size is controlled by `--event-ring-size` (default **8000**, per #3803 §02). Old daemons silently lack both — pre-flight this tag before opting in.

 **Auth:** required **only on non-loopback binds**. On loopback (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`, `[::1]`) `/health` is registered before the bearer middleware so k8s/Compose probes inside the pod don't need to carry the token. On non-loopback (`--hostname 0.0.0.0` etc.) the route is registered after the bearer middleware and returns 401 without a valid token — otherwise an unauthenticated caller could probe arbitrary addresses to confirm a `qwen serve` exists, a low-severity info leak that combines poorly with port scanning. CORS deny + Host allowlist still apply on the loopback exemption.

+Optional `error` is present on failed servers when available. Disabled LSP
+(including bare mode) returns HTTP 200 with `enabled: false`, zero counts, and
+`servers: []`. LSP enabled with no configured servers returns `enabled: true`,

 Use `/load` when the client has no history rendered (cold reconnect, picker → open). Use `/resume` when the client already has the turns on screen and only needs the daemon-side handle back.

The route does not listen for HTTP client disconnect, no `AbortSignal` is plumbed into the bridge, and the ACP child runs the side-query to completion regardless of whether the caller has disconnected. The only ceilings are the bridge's 60s backstop timeout (`SESSION_RECAP_TIMEOUT_MS`) and the transport-closed race against ACP channel death. This is acceptable because recap is short (single-attempt, `maxOutputTokens: 300`, ~1–5s typical); a request-id-based cancel ext-method can plumb full end-to-end cancellation in a future release if the bandwidth cost ever justifies it.

 Toggle a tool name in the workspace's `tools.disabled` settings list.

Both built-in tools and MCP-discovered tools flow through `ToolRegistry.registerTool`, which consults the disabled set.
 
-> ⚠️ **Names must match the registry's exposed identifier exactly.** No alias resolution happens — the route stores whatever string is in the path parameter into `tools.disabled`, and the next ACP child compares against `tool.name` at register time.

MCP-discovered tools use the qualified `mcp____` form (which is also the form `tool_toggled` events broadcast and what `GET /workspace/mcp` lists).

-> **Stage 1 limitation — no permission timeout.** A `permission_request`
+The active policy is configured in `settings.json` under `policy.permissionStrategy` and surfaced on `/capabilities` at `body.policy.permission`. Pre-flight `caps.features.permission_mediation` (with `modes: [...]`) for the build-supported set.

Pre-F3 daemons hardcoded first-responder; the wire shape stays bit-for-bit unchanged when the configured policy is `first-responder`.

 ### Auth device-flow routes (issue #4175 PR 21)
 
 The daemon brokers an OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant (RFC 8628) so a remote SDK client can trigger a login whose tokens land on the **daemon** filesystem — not on the client. The daemon polls the IdP itself; the client's only job is to display the verification URL + user code and (optionally) subscribe to SSE for completion events.
 
-Capability tag: `auth_device_flow` (always advertised). Supported providers in v1: `qwen-oauth`.
+Capability tag: `auth_device_flow` (always advertised). Supported providers in
+v1: `qwen-oauth`.
+
+> [!note]
+>
+> Qwen OAuth free tier was discontinued on 2026-04-15. Treat `qwen-oauth` as the
+> legacy v1 provider identifier in this protocol; new clients should prefer a
+> currently supported auth provider when one is available.
 
 **Runtime locality.** The daemon never spawns a browser — even if it can. The client decides whether to call `open(verificationUri)` locally; on a headless pod (the canonical Mode B deployment) the user opens the URL on whatever device they have a browser on. See `docs/users/qwen-serve.md` for the recommended UX.

+# `qwen serve` Daemon File Logger — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add a daemon-scoped file logger to `qwen serve` so route errors, lifecycle messages, and ACP child stderr land in `~/.qwen/debug/daemon/.log` in addition to stderr — eliminating the manual `2>serve.log` workaround for issue #4548.
+
+**Architecture:** New cli-local module `daemonLogger.ts` exposes `initDaemonLogger(opts) → DaemonLogger`. `info/warn/error` tee to file + stderr; `raw` is file-only. `acp-bridge` gets a new optional `BridgeOptions.onDiagnosticLine` callback and `createSpawnChannelFactory({ onDiagnosticLine })` helper so the cli can route `writeServeDebugLine` and ACP child stderr lines into the daemon log without acp-bridge taking a cli dependency. No global singleton — logger is constructed per `runQwenServe` invocation.
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Vitest, Node `fs.promises`, existing `Storage.getGlobalDebugDir()`, existing `updateSymlink` helper.
+
+**Reference spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-26-daemon-logger-design.md`
+
+**Test harness:** `vitest run` from each package; for a single file: `cd packages/ && npx vitest run `.

+`updateSymlink` lives in `packages/core/src/utils/symlink.ts` but is NOT re-exported from the core barrel (confirmed via `grep -n updateSymlink packages/core/src/index.ts` → no matches at plan-write time). Add the re-export first:

+
+Insert near the top of the `BridgeOptions` interface (before `sessionScope`):
+
+```ts
+/**
+ * Sink for serve-level diagnostic lines (set by the cli daemon logger).
+ * When provided, the bridge tees `writeServeDebugLine` output through
+ * this callback alongside the existing stderr write — used by
+ * runQwenServe to capture them in the daemon log file. The bridge
+ * does not own a file logger itself; this is a pure pass-through hook.
+ */
+export type DiagnosticLineSink = (
+  line: string,
+  level?: 'info' | 'warn' | 'error',
+) => void;
+```
+
+Add inside `BridgeOptions`:
+
+```ts
+  /**
+   * Optional: tee `writeServeDebugLine` output. See {@link DiagnosticLineSink}.
+   * No-op when omitted. Set by cli `runQwenServe` from the daemon logger.
+   */
+  onDiagnosticLine?: DiagnosticLineSink;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add failing test**
+
+In `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.test.ts`, add a new `describe('onDiagnosticLine', ...)` block. The file already imports `makeBridge` and `makeChannel` from `./internal/testUtils.js` — reuse them instead of hand-rolling a `ChannelFactory`. Confirm with `grep -n "import.*testUtils" packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.test.ts`. To trigger `writeServeDebugLine`, pick the shortest-setup test among the 6 call sites — list them with `grep -n "writeServeDebugLine(" packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts` (currently lines 1410, 1423, 2242, 2328, 2624, 2637; the cross-session permission-vote rejection around line 2242 is a small reproducible trigger).
+
+```ts
+describe('onDiagnosticLine', () => {
+  const originalDebug = process.env['QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG'];
+  afterEach(() => {
+    if (originalDebug === undefined) delete process.env['QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG'];

+    const bridge = makeBridge({
+      onDiagnosticLine: (line, level) => captured.push({ line, level }),
+    });
+    // Trigger writeServeDebugLine via [copy harness from the closest
+    // existing test that exercises one of the 6 call sites above].
+    // ... trigger code here ...
+    expect(captured.some((e) => e.line.includes('qwen serve debug: '))).toBe(

+    ).toBe(true);
+    await bridge.shutdown();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+(`makeBridge` accepts `Partial` — once Task 7 step 1 adds `onDiagnosticLine` to `BridgeOptions`, it flows through without further edits to `testUtils.ts`.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run, confirm fail**
+
+Run: `cd packages/acp-bridge && npx vitest run src/bridge.test.ts -t "onDiagnosticLine"`
+Expected: fail — callback not invoked.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Tee `writeServeDebugLine` through the callback**
+
+In `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts`, near the top of `createHttpAcpBridge` (after `opts` is destructured), introduce a local tee that wraps the existing module-level helper:
+
+```ts
+const teeServeDebugLine = (message: string): void => {
+  writeServeDebugLine(message);
+  if (opts.onDiagnosticLine && isServeDebugLoggingEnabled()) {
+    opts.onDiagnosticLine(`qwen serve debug: ${message}`, 'info');
+  }
+};
+```
+
+Then, in this file replace every internal `writeServeDebugLine(...)` call **inside** `createHttpAcpBridge`'s closure with `teeServeDebugLine(...)`. Use:
+
+```bash
+grep -n "writeServeDebugLine(" packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts
+```
+
+to enumerate call sites — there are 6 in the current tree (lines 1410, 1423, 2242, 2328, 2624, 2637; verify with the grep). Edit each. Do NOT change the module-level `writeServeDebugLine` definition itself — other entry points and tests rely on it.
+
+(Reason for not editing the top-level definition: changes the signature for all callers including tests; the closure tee is additive and locally-scoped.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run, confirm pass**
+
+Run: `cd packages/acp-bridge && npx vitest run src/bridge.test.ts -t "onDiagnosticLine"`
+Expected: PASS. Also run full file to catch regressions: `npx vitest run src/bridge.test.ts`.

+
+```bash
+grep -n "defaultSpawnChannelFactory\|onDiagnosticLine\|process.stderr.write" packages/acp-bridge/src/spawnChannel.ts | head -20
+```
+
+Confirm `defaultSpawnChannelFactory` is the only public spawn export. The existing child-stderr forwarder calls `process.stderr.write(prefix + line + '\n')` inside the body — locate that block (around line 125).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add failing test**
+
+In `packages/acp-bridge/src/spawnChannel.test.ts` (look for an existing test file; if none, create one):
+
+```ts
+import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
+import * as path from 'node:path';

+      'stderrOnlyEntry.cjs',
+    );
+    try {
+      const ch = await factory('/tmp', {});
+      await ch.exited;
+      // After child exit, the forwarder flushes buffered tail.
+      expect(
+        captured.some((e) =>
+          /\[serve pid=\d+ cwd=\/tmp\] hello-stderr/.test(e.line),

+      ).toBe(true);
+    } finally {
+      delete process.env['QWEN_CLI_ENTRY'];
+    }
+  });
+});
+```
+
+And a fixture entry `packages/acp-bridge/src/testutil/stderrOnlyEntry.cjs`:
+
+```js
+process.stderr.write('hello-stderr\n');
+process.exit(0);
+```
+
+(Adjust if the bridge requires ACP initialize handshake before considering the child "spawned" — alternative: write the stderr line during initialize handling. If the test is too brittle, fall back to mocking the spawn and asserting the forwarder logic in isolation — read `defaultSpawnChannelFactory`'s body and unit-test the inner forwarder by exporting it for tests.)

+Run: `cd packages/acp-bridge && npx vitest run src/spawnChannel.test.ts -t "onDiagnosticLine"`
+Expected: fail — `createSpawnChannelFactory` not exported.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement `createSpawnChannelFactory`**
+
+Refactor `defaultSpawnChannelFactory` into a factory-of-factories. Replace the top of `spawnChannel.ts`:
+
+```ts
+export interface SpawnChannelFactoryOptions {
+  onDiagnosticLine?: (line: string, level?: 'info' | 'warn' | 'error') => void;
+}
+
+export function createSpawnChannelFactory(
+  options: SpawnChannelFactoryOptions = {},
+): ChannelFactory {
+  const onDiagnosticLine = options.onDiagnosticLine;
+  return async (workspaceCwd, childEnvOverrides) => {
+    // ... existing body of defaultSpawnChannelFactory ...
+    // Where the existing forwarder does:
+    //   process.stderr.write(prefix + line + '\n')
+    // change it to:
+    //   const teedLine = prefix + line;
+    //   process.stderr.write(teedLine + '\n');
+    //   if (onDiagnosticLine) onDiagnosticLine(teedLine, 'warn');
+    // For the [truncated] branch:
+    //   const teedTrunc = prefix + buf.slice(0, STDERR_LINE_CAP_CHARS) + ' [truncated]';
+    //   process.stderr.write(teedTrunc + '\n');
+    //   if (onDiagnosticLine) onDiagnosticLine(teedTrunc, 'warn');
+  };
+}
+
+// Preserve the old export for backward compatibility (no callback wiring).
+export const defaultSpawnChannelFactory: ChannelFactory =
+  createSpawnChannelFactory();
+```
+
+Implementation discipline:
+
+- Do NOT remove `defaultSpawnChannelFactory` — channels/IDE adapters still import it.
+- Stick to the exact existing stderr write semantics (line buffering, 64 KiB cap, truncation marker). The `onDiagnosticLine` call sits next to each existing `process.stderr.write` and never replaces it.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run, confirm pass**
+
+Run: `cd packages/acp-bridge && npx vitest run src/spawnChannel.test.ts -t "onDiagnosticLine"`
+Expected: PASS. Also `npx vitest run` full suite to confirm no regressions.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/acp-bridge/src/spawnChannel.ts packages/acp-bridge/src/spawnChannel.test.ts packages/acp-bridge/src/testutil/stderrOnlyEntry.cjs
+git commit -m "feat(acp-bridge): createSpawnChannelFactory with onDiagnosticLine (#4548)"

+## Task 9: Route `sendBridgeError` through `daemonLog`
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts`
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/serve/server.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add `daemonLog` to `createServeApp` deps**
+
+Read `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts` around the `createServeApp` signature (search for `export function createServeApp` or `export interface ServeAppDeps`). Add to its deps interface:
+
+```ts
+/**
+ * Optional daemon logger. When provided, `sendBridgeError` routes
+ * each route-mapped error through `daemonLog.error(...)` (which tees
+ * to stderr + the daemon log file). When omitted, falls back to
+ * existing stderr-only behavior.
+ */
+daemonLog?: import('./daemonLogger.js').DaemonLogger;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add failing test**
+
+In `packages/cli/src/serve/server.test.ts`, add (or extend a route-error test):
+
+```ts
+import { initDaemonLogger } from './daemonLogger.js';
+
+it('sendBridgeError routes through daemonLog when provided', async () => {
+  const tmp = mkdtempSync(path.join(os.tmpdir(), 'daemon-log-'));
+  try {
+    const stderr: string[] = [];
+    const daemonLog = initDaemonLogger({
+      boundWorkspace: '/w',
+      pid: 1,
+      baseDir: tmp,
+      stderr: (s) => stderr.push(s),
+    });
+    // createServeApp signature: (opts, getPort?, deps?). daemonLog goes in deps.
+    const app = createServeApp(
+      /* opts */ { /* ...usual ServeOptions, copy from closest existing test... */ } as ServeOptions,
+      /* getPort */ () => 0,
+      /* deps */ { /* ...usual deps that make a route throw... */, daemonLog },
+    );
+    await request(app).get('/some/erroring/route').expect(500);
+    await daemonLog.flush();
+    const content = readFileSync(daemonLog.getLogPath(), 'utf8');
+    expect(content).toMatch(
+      /\[ERROR\] \[DAEMON\] route=GET \/some\/erroring\/route/,
+    );
+  } finally {
+    rmSync(tmp, { recursive: true, force: true });
+  }
+});
+```
+
+(Copy whatever route-throws-error harness already lives in `server.test.ts` — e.g. inject a deps stub that throws when called. The point is one route hits `sendBridgeError` → assertion lands in the daemon log.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run, confirm fail**
+
+Run: `cd packages/cli && npx vitest run src/serve/server.test.ts -t "daemonLog"`
+Expected: fail.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Wire `sendBridgeError`**
+
+In `server.ts`, find the `sendBridgeError` function (around line 2765). It currently writes to stderr inline. Refactor:
+
+1. Plumb `daemonLog` from `createServeApp` into the closure that owns `sendBridgeError` (it's defined inside the function — same closure).
+2. At the bottom of `sendBridgeError`, where the stderr write happens, replace with:
+
+```ts
+if (daemonLog) {
+  daemonLog.error(
+    err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err),
+    err instanceof Error ? err : null,
+    {
+      ...(ctx?.route ? { route: ctx.route } : {}),
+      ...(ctx?.sessionId ? { sessionId: ctx.sessionId } : {}),
+    },
+  );
+} else {
+  // Legacy stderr-only path. Keep behavior intact for embedders that
+  // construct createServeApp without daemonLog (tests, direct integrations).
+  writeStderrLine(
+    `qwen serve: ${ctx?.route ?? 'unknown route'}: ${
+      err instanceof Error ? (err.stack ?? err.message) : String(err)
+    }${ctx?.sessionId ? ` sessionId=${ctx.sessionId}` : ''}`,
+  );
+}
+```
+
+Make sure the new branch is taken when `daemonLog` is non-null. `daemonLog.error` already tees to stderr, so the stderr line is still produced — no behavior loss.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run, confirm pass**
+
+Run: `cd packages/cli && npx vitest run src/serve/server.test.ts`
+Expected: full file PASS (new + old).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash

+git commit -m "feat(serve): route sendBridgeError through daemonLog (#4548)"

+## Task 10: Wire `runQwenServe` — init, boot banner, callbacks, lifecycle, shutdown flush
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/serve/runQwenServe.ts`
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/serve/runQwenServe.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read the existing boot + shutdown structure**
+
+Re-read `packages/cli/src/serve/runQwenServe.ts` lines 590-1030 (the `createHttpAcpBridge({...})` call site, the `RunHandle.close` body, and the `onSignal` handler). Note all `writeStderrLine(...)` calls — they're at roughly 393, 565, 805, 821, 825, 835, 859, 865, 872, 877, 951, 961, 986, 997, 1027, 1361 (run `grep -n writeStderrLine` for the current line numbers).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add failing test**
+
+In `packages/cli/src/serve/runQwenServe.test.ts`, add (or extend):
+
+```ts
+import { existsSync, readFileSync, rmSync, mkdtempSync } from 'node:fs';
+import * as os from 'node:os';
+import * as path from 'node:path';
+
+it('runQwenServe initializes daemon logger and writes boot banner + flushes on shutdown', async () => {
+  const tmpRuntime = mkdtempSync(path.join(os.tmpdir(), 'serve-runtime-'));
+  const originalRuntime = process.env['QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR'];
+  process.env['QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR'] = tmpRuntime;
+  try {
+    const handle = await runQwenServe({
+      port: 0,
+      hostname: '127.0.0.1',
+      mode: 'workspace',
+      // ... fill remaining required opts from the smallest existing test ...
+    });
+    // Boot wrote a daemon log somewhere under tmpRuntime/debug/daemon
+    const daemonDir = path.join(tmpRuntime, 'debug', 'daemon');
+    expect(existsSync(daemonDir)).toBe(true);
+    const logs = require('node:fs')
+      .readdirSync(daemonDir)
+      .filter((f: string) => f.endsWith('.log'));
+    expect(logs.length).toBe(1);
+    const content = readFileSync(path.join(daemonDir, logs[0]), 'utf8');
+    expect(content).toMatch(/daemon started pid=\d+ workspace=/);
+    await handle.close();
+    // After shutdown, "shutdown signal" or equivalent should be in the log.
+    const after = readFileSync(path.join(daemonDir, logs[0]), 'utf8');
+    expect(after).toMatch(/shutdown/i);
+  } finally {
+    if (originalRuntime === undefined) delete process.env['QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR'];
+    else process.env['QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR'] = originalRuntime;
+    rmSync(tmpRuntime, { recursive: true, force: true });
+  }
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run, confirm fail**
+
+Run: `cd packages/cli && npx vitest run src/serve/runQwenServe.test.ts -t "daemon logger"`
+Expected: fail.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Wire in `runQwenServe`**
+
+Edit `runQwenServe.ts`:
+
+1. Add imports near the existing ones:
+
+```ts
+import { initDaemonLogger, type DaemonLogger } from './daemonLogger.js';
+import { createSpawnChannelFactory } from '@qwen-code/acp-bridge/spawnChannel';
+```
+
+2. Inside `runQwenServe(opts)`, right after `boundWorkspace` is canonicalized (find the assignment; it's the value passed to `createHttpAcpBridge`):
+
+```ts
+const daemonLog: DaemonLogger = initDaemonLogger({ boundWorkspace });
+writeStderrLine(
+  `qwen serve: daemon log → ${daemonLog.getLogPath() || '(disabled)'}`,
+);
+```
+
+3. Update the `createHttpAcpBridge({...})` call (around line 606):
+
+```ts
+const channelFactory = createSpawnChannelFactory({
+  onDiagnosticLine: (line, level) => daemonLog.raw(line, level),
+});
+const bridge =
+  deps.bridge ??
+  createHttpAcpBridge({
+    // ... existing fields ...
+    channelFactory,
+    onDiagnosticLine: (line, level) => daemonLog.raw(line, level),
+  });
+```
+
+(If `deps.bridge` is provided, the operator is embedding and owns their own wiring — skip the callback.)
+
+4. Update the `createServeApp(...)` call (currently at `runQwenServe.ts:706`, signature is `createServeApp(opts, getPort, deps)`) to add `daemonLog` to the deps object:
+
+```ts
+const app = createServeApp(opts, () => actualPort, {
+  bridge,
+  boundWorkspace,
+  fsFactory,
+  daemonLog,
+});
+```
+
+5. Replace **lifecycle-only** `writeStderrLine(...)` calls (the ones inside `onSignal`, the `bridge.shutdown` error path, the server `error` listener, the device-flow dispose error, the "received signal, draining" line) with `daemonLog.warn(...)` / `daemonLog.error(..., err)` — daemonLog tees to stderr so operator-visible output is preserved. Do NOT touch:
+   - Boot banner about "listening on URL" (that one is stdout, not stderr — `writeStdoutLine`).
+   - CLI usage/argparse errors before `daemonLog` is constructed.
+   - The lone "qwen serve: daemon log → ..." banner added in step 2 (avoid logging a line about itself).
+
+   To be concrete, the **mechanical** rule for this step: every `writeStderrLine` call **after** the `daemonLog` is constructed and **before** `process.exit` is candidate; if its content reads like a daemon diagnostic (not a one-shot startup banner), switch it.
+
+6. In the `RunHandle.close` body, after the `finish` callback runs (or right before `process.exit(0)` in `onSignal`), add `await daemonLog.flush();`. Concretely, the `onSignal` handler becomes:
+
+```ts
+const onSignal = async (signal: NodeJS.Signals) => {
+  if (shuttingDown) {
+    /* unchanged */ return;
+  }
+  daemonLog.warn(`received ${signal}, draining`, { signal });
+  try {
+    await handle.close();
+    await daemonLog.flush();
+    process.exit(0);
+  } catch (err) {
+    daemonLog.error('shutdown error', err instanceof Error ? err : null);
+    await daemonLog.flush().catch(() => {});
+    process.exit(1);
+  }
+};
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run, confirm pass**
+
+Run: `cd packages/cli && npx vitest run src/serve/runQwenServe.test.ts`
+Expected: full file PASS.
+
+Run also: `cd packages/cli && npx vitest run src/serve/` (full serve dir, catches indirect regressions like server.test.ts assertions on stderr output).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/cli/src/serve/runQwenServe.ts packages/cli/src/serve/runQwenServe.test.ts
+git commit -m "feat(serve): init daemonLogger in runQwenServe + flush on shutdown (#4548)"
+```
+

+
+## Task 11: Documentation
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: existing serve docs (locate with `find docs -iname '*serve*'` and `ls docs/cli/`)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Find the right doc**
+
+```bash
+find docs -iname '*serve*' -type f
+ls docs/cli/ 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Pick the most natural home — likely `docs/cli/serve.md`. If none exists for `qwen serve`, create `docs/cli/serve-daemon-log.md`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write the section**
+
+Add (or create) a "Daemon log file" section:
+
+```markdown
+## Daemon log file
+
+`qwen serve` writes a per-process diagnostic log to:
+```
+
+${QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR or ~/.qwen}/debug/daemon/serve--.log
+
+```
+
+A `latest` symlink in the same directory always points at the current
+process's log, so `tail -f ~/.qwen/debug/daemon/latest` will follow whichever
+daemon is running.
+
+The log captures lifecycle messages, route errors (with `route=` and
+`sessionId=` context), ACP child stderr, and — when `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG=1`
+is set — extra bridge breadcrumbs. Lines that go to stderr today still
+go to stderr; the file log is **additive**, not a replacement.
+
+### Disabling
+
+Set `QWEN_DAEMON_LOG_FILE=0` (or `false`/`off`/`no`) to skip file logging
+entirely. Stderr output is unaffected.
+
+### Relation to session debug logs
+
+Session-scoped debug logs (`~/.qwen/debug/.txt` and the
+`~/.qwen/debug/latest` symlink) are independent. The daemon log lives
+in a sibling `daemon/` subdirectory; per-session debug semantics are
+unchanged by this feature.
+
+### No rotation
+
+The daemon log appends indefinitely. Rotate manually if it grows large.
+A future enhancement may add automatic rotation; track via #4548
+follow-ups.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add docs/cli/serve.md   # or the actual file path
+git commit -m "docs(serve): document daemon log file path and opt-out (#4548)"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 12: Final verification
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Full test sweep**
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/jinye.djy/Projects/qwen-code/.claude/worktrees/feat-support-daemon-logger
+npm run test --workspace=packages/acp-bridge
+npm run test --workspace=packages/cli
+```
+
+Expected: all green.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Typecheck**
+
+```bash
+npm run typecheck --workspace=packages/acp-bridge
+npm run typecheck --workspace=packages/cli
+```
+
+Expected: no errors.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Manual smoke**
+
+```bash
+QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR=$(mktemp -d) node packages/cli/dist/index.js serve --port 0 --hostname 127.0.0.1 &
+SERVE_PID=$!
+sleep 1
+ls $QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR/debug/daemon/
+cat $QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR/debug/daemon/latest
+kill -TERM $SERVE_PID
+wait $SERVE_PID 2>/dev/null || true
+cat $QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR/debug/daemon/latest  # should now contain shutdown line
+```
+
+Expected: log file exists, contains `daemon started ...`, then after kill the `received SIGTERM, draining` line.
+
+If `packages/cli/dist/index.js` doesn't exist, build first: `npm run build --workspace=packages/cli`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Open PR**
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin HEAD
+gh pr create --title "feat(serve): add daemon file logger (#4548)" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
+## Summary
+- Adds a per-process daemon file logger at `~/.qwen/debug/daemon/serve--.log` (configurable via `QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR`, opt-out via `QWEN_DAEMON_LOG_FILE=0`).
+- Routes `runQwenServe` lifecycle messages, `sendBridgeError` route errors, `writeServeDebugLine` debug breadcrumbs, and ACP child stderr into the daemon log without removing existing stderr output.
+- Adds `BridgeOptions.onDiagnosticLine` and `createSpawnChannelFactory({ onDiagnosticLine })` to keep `acp-bridge` ignorant of cli.
+
+Closes #4548.
+
+## Test plan
+- [x] New unit tests in `packages/cli/src/serve/daemonLogger.test.ts` cover formatter, file init, info/warn/error, raw, latest symlink, opt-out, degraded fallback.
+- [x] `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.test.ts` covers `onDiagnosticLine` tee from `writeServeDebugLine`.
+- [x] `packages/acp-bridge/src/spawnChannel.test.ts` covers child stderr forwarder.
+- [x] `packages/cli/src/serve/server.test.ts` covers route-error routing through `daemonLog.error`.
+- [x] `packages/cli/src/serve/runQwenServe.test.ts` covers boot banner + flush on shutdown.
+- [x] Manual smoke: log file created at boot, contains shutdown line on SIGTERM.

+
+## Self-review notes
+
+- **Spec coverage**: §3 module table covered by Tasks 1-10. §4 daemon-id + path → Task 3. §5 API surface → Tasks 1-6. §6 format + tee semantics → Task 1 (format), Task 4 (info/warn/error tee), Task 5 (raw file-only). §7 boot/shutdown → Task 10. §8 coverage table → Tasks 7/8/9/10. §9 write path & flush → Task 4. §10 config → Task 2 (opt-out), Task 11 (docs). §11 error handling → Tasks 3, 4. §12 testing → distributed across tasks. §13 docs → Task 11. §15 acceptance criteria → met by Tasks 3, 9, 8, 10, 10, 11 respectively.
+
+- **Trace context (§6 bullet)**: deferred. The spec leaves it explicit ("Helper extracted to a shared module ... or duplicated locally — leave to plan"). The current plan does NOT inject trace_id/span_id; that is a follow-up task tracked in §16. If reviewer pushes back, add a Task 4.5 that imports `trace` from `@opentelemetry/api` and folds the span context into `buildDaemonLogLine` — but only if the reviewer asks; YAGNI otherwise.
+
+- **`updateSymlink` import path**: Task 6 step 3 hedges on whether `updateSymlink` is exported from `@qwen-code/qwen-code-core`. Verify before editing: `grep -n updateSymlink packages/core/src/index.ts`. If missing, add the re-export in the same commit as Task 6.
+
+- **acp-bridge test for `createSpawnChannelFactory`**: spawning a real child in a unit test is brittle. If Task 8 step 2 turns out to be flaky in CI, the fallback is to refactor the inner stderr forwarder into a small exported helper (`forwardChildStderr(stream, { prefix, onLine })`) and unit-test that in isolation — no real spawn needed.

+# DaemonWorkspaceService Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Extract all workspace-scoped capabilities from HttpAcpBridge into a new DaemonWorkspaceService, enabling /acp transport parity and honest rename to AcpSessionBridge.
+
+**Architecture:** Scope-based split — workspace-scoped ops go to a new facade (DaemonWorkspaceService) with 4 internal sub-services; session-scoped ops stay in bridge. Child-dependent workspace ops delegate via injected callbacks. Both REST and /acp call the same L2 service.
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Vitest, Express (REST routes), JSON-RPC (ACP), supertest (integration)
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-27-daemon-workspace-service-design.md`

+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts`
+- Modify: `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridgeTypes.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add `queryWorkspaceStatus` and `invokeWorkspaceCommand` to bridge interface**
+
+In `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridgeTypes.ts`, add to the interface (which is still named `HttpAcpBridge` at this point):
+
+```ts
+  queryWorkspaceStatus(method: string, idle: () => T): Promise;
+  invokeWorkspaceCommand(method: string, params?: Record, opts?: { timeoutMs?: number }): Promise;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Implement them in bridge.ts**
+
+In `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts`, add to the returned object (near the existing `requestWorkspaceStatus` usage):
+
+```ts
+    queryWorkspaceStatus(method, idle) {
+      return requestWorkspaceStatus(method, idle);
+    },
+    invokeWorkspaceCommand(method, params, opts) {
+      const info = liveChannelInfo();
+      if (!info) throw new SessionNotFoundError(`workspace-command:${method}`);
+      const timeout = opts?.timeoutMs ?? initTimeoutMs;
+      return withTimeout(
+        Promise.race([
+          info.connection.extMethod(method, { ...params, cwd: boundWorkspace }),
+          getChannelClosedReject(info),
+        ]),
+        timeout,
+        method,
+      ) as Promise;
+    },
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Remove the 8 workspace methods from bridge**
+
+Remove from bridge.ts:
+
+- `initWorkspace` (lines ~3256-3550)
+- `setWorkspaceToolEnabled` (lines ~3071-3093)
+- `getWorkspaceMcpStatus` / `getWorkspaceSkillsStatus` / `getWorkspaceProvidersStatus` / `getWorkspaceEnvStatus` / `getWorkspacePreflightStatus` (lines ~2665-2790)
+- `restartMcpServer` (lines ~3093-3256)
+
+Remove their signatures from `bridgeTypes.ts`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run bridge tests to verify nothing is broken**
+
+Run: `cd packages/acp-bridge && npx vitest run`
+Expected: Some tests may reference removed methods — fix those (they should now test via the facade in integration).

+- Modify: `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridgeOptions.ts`
+- Modify: `packages/acp-bridge/src/status.ts`
+- Modify: `packages/acp-bridge/src/index.ts`
+- Rename: `packages/cli/src/serve/httpAcpBridge.ts` → `packages/cli/src/serve/acpSessionBridge.ts`
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/serve/runQwenServe.ts` (import paths)
+- Modify: all files importing `HttpAcpBridge` or `createHttpAcpBridge`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Rename interface + factory function in acp-bridge package**
+
+In `bridgeTypes.ts`:
+
+```ts
+// Before: export interface HttpAcpBridge {
+// After:
+export interface AcpSessionBridge {
+```
+
+In `bridge.ts`:
+
+```ts
+// Before: export function createHttpAcpBridge(
+// After:
+export function createAcpSessionBridge(
+```
+
+Add deprecated re-export for safety:
+
+```ts
+/** @deprecated Use AcpSessionBridge */
+export type HttpAcpBridge = AcpSessionBridge;
+/** @deprecated Use createAcpSessionBridge */
+export const createHttpAcpBridge = createAcpSessionBridge;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Rename file in cli package**
+
+```bash
+git mv packages/cli/src/serve/httpAcpBridge.ts packages/cli/src/serve/acpSessionBridge.ts

+```bash
+# Find and fix all references
+grep -rn "HttpAcpBridge\|createHttpAcpBridge\|httpAcpBridge" packages/ --include="*.ts" | grep -v node_modules | grep -v ".test.ts"
+```
+
+Update each file to use new names. Key files:
+
+- `packages/cli/src/serve/runQwenServe.ts`
+- `packages/cli/src/serve/workspaceAgents.ts`
+- `packages/cli/src/serve/workspaceMemory.ts`
+- `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts`
+- `packages/acp-bridge/src/status.ts` (error message string)
+- `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridgeOptions.ts` (JSDoc)
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run typecheck**
+
+Run: `cd packages/cli && npx tsc --noEmit && cd ../acp-bridge && npx tsc --noEmit`

+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run full test suites**
+
+Run: `cd packages/acp-bridge && npx vitest run && cd ../cli && npx vitest run`

+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/serve/workspaceAgents.ts`
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/serve/workspaceMemory.ts`
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/serve/routes/workspaceFileRead.ts`
+- Modify: `packages/cli/src/serve/routes/workspaceFileWrite.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Construct service in runQwenServe.ts**
+
+Add after bridge construction:
+
+```ts
+import { createDaemonWorkspaceService } from './workspace-service/index.js';
+
+// After bridge is created:
+const workspace = createDaemonWorkspaceService({
+  fsFactory,
+  deviceFlowRegistry,
+  subagentManager, // from existing construction
+  boundWorkspace,
+  contextFilename,
+  persistDisabledTools,
+  publishWorkspaceEvent: (event) => bridge.publishWorkspaceEvent(event),
+  knownClientIds: () => bridge.knownClientIds(),
+  queryWorkspaceStatus: (method, idle) =>
+    bridge.queryWorkspaceStatus(method, idle),
+  invokeWorkspaceCommand: (method, params, opts) =>
+    bridge.invokeWorkspaceCommand(method, params, opts),
+});
+```
+
+Pass `workspace` to `createServeApp`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Rewire workspace status routes in server.ts**
+
+Replace direct bridge calls with service calls:
+
+```ts
+// Before:
+app.get('/workspace/mcp', async (_req, res) => {
+  res.status(200).json(await bridge.getWorkspaceMcpStatus());
+});
+
+// After:
+app.get('/workspace/mcp', async (_req, res) => {
+  res.status(200).json(await workspace.getMcpStatus());
+});
+```
+
+Repeat for `/workspace/skills`, `/workspace/providers`, `/workspace/env`, `/workspace/preflight`, `/workspace/init`, tool toggle route.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Rewire workspaceAgents.ts route shell**
+
+Change `mountWorkspaceAgentsRoutes` to receive `workspace.agents` instead of `bridge`:
+
+```ts
+// deps.bridge.publishWorkspaceEvent → service handles internally
+// deps.bridge.knownClientIds() → service handles internally
+// Route handler becomes thin: parse request → build ctx → call service → send response
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Rewire workspaceMemory.ts route shell**
+
+Same pattern as agents.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Rewire file routes**
+
+`workspaceFileRead.ts` and `workspaceFileWrite.ts` — change from calling `fsFactory.forRequest` directly to calling `workspace.file.*`:
+
+```ts
+// Before:
+const fs = getFsFactory(req, res);
+const result = await fs.readFile(path, maxBytes);
+
+// After:
+const ctx = buildRequestContext(req);
+const result = await workspace.file.read(ctx, path, { maxBytes });
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run full test suite**
+
+Run: `cd packages/cli && npx vitest run`
+Expected: All existing route tests pass (HTTP surface unchanged)
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**

+
+## Task 10: /acp Northbound Method Dispatch
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: relevant `/acp` handler file (locate via `grep -rn "extMethod\|acpHttp\|acp-integration" packages/cli/src/`)
+- Create or modify: northbound method dispatcher
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Locate the /acp method dispatch entry point**
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "method.*dispatch\|handleMethod\|jsonrpc.*method" packages/cli/src/acp-integration/ packages/cli/src/serve/ --include="*.ts" | grep -v test | head -20
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add workspace method dispatch**
+
+In the /acp handler that routes JSON-RPC methods, add a switch/map for `qwen/workspace/*`:

+# `qwen serve` Daemon File Logger — Design
+
+- **Issue**: [QwenLM/qwen-code#4548](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/issues/4548)
+- **Branch**: `feat/support_daemon_logger`
+- **Status**: design approved, awaiting implementation plan
+- **Date**: 2026-05-26
+
+## 1. Problem
+
+`qwen serve` emits daemon-level diagnostics (lifecycle, route errors, ACP child stderr) to `process.stderr`. That works under systemd/Docker but is fragile for SDK / Desktop / local daemon use: when a client sees `POST /session/:id/prompt` return HTTP 500, the route + session + stack context is gone unless the operator manually redirected stderr.
+
+`createDebugLogger` (in `packages/core/src/utils/debugLogger.ts`) is session-scoped: it requires an active `DebugLogSession` and writes to `${runtimeBaseDir}/debug/.txt`. The serve daemon starts **before** any session exists, so daemon-level calls would silently no-op. It also can't be reused without changing the per-session `debug/latest` semantics.
+
+This design adds a daemon-specific file sink, additive to existing stderr behavior, so daemon diagnostics survive without shell redirection.
+
+## 2. Scope
+
+### In scope
+
+- A new logger initialized once per `runQwenServe` process.
+- File at `${QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR or ~/.qwen}/debug/daemon/.log`, append mode.
+- Tee of:
+  - `runQwenServe.ts` lifecycle / shutdown / signal messages
+  - `sendBridgeError` (`server.ts`) route errors
+  - `bridge.ts` `writeServeDebugLine` (when `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG` is set)
+  - `spawnChannel.ts` ACP child stderr forwarding
+- Opt-out via `QWEN_DAEMON_LOG_FILE=0|false|off|no`.
+- `latest` symlink in the daemon dir for `tail -f`.
+- Documentation in serve CLI docs.
+
+### Out of scope (non-goals from issue)
+
+- Replacing OpenTelemetry or adding daemon tracing.
+- Structured enterprise error log export (issue #2014).
+- Rotation or deletion of existing session debug logs.
+- Log rotation / size cap for the daemon log itself (deferred to a follow-up PR). A boot-time stderr warning is emitted if the existing file is unusually large; no automatic action.
+
+## 3. Architecture
+
+### 3.1 Module boundaries
+
+| Layer                                                   | New / Changed | Responsibility                                                                                                                                |
+| ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `packages/cli/src/serve/daemonLogger.ts`                | **new**       | Sink: init, format, append-to-file, tee-to-stderr, flush, latest-symlink                                                                      |
+| `packages/cli/src/serve/runQwenServe.ts`                | changed       | Init logger at boot; replace lifecycle `writeStderrLine` with `daemonLog.*`; `await flush()` on shutdown; pass `onDiagnosticLine` into bridge |
+| `packages/cli/src/serve/server.ts`                      | changed       | `sendBridgeError(...)` routes through `daemonLog.error(...)`                                                                                  |
+| `packages/acp-bridge/src/types.ts` (`BridgeOptions`)    | changed       | Add optional `onDiagnosticLine?: (line: string, level?: 'info' \| 'warn' \| 'error') => void`                                                 |
+| `packages/acp-bridge/src/bridge.ts:writeServeDebugLine` | changed       | If `onDiagnosticLine` injected, tee the same line                                                                                             |
+| `packages/acp-bridge/src/spawnChannel.ts`               | changed       | Child stderr forwarder tees each prefixed line into `onDiagnosticLine`                                                                        |
+
+**Design intent**: `daemonLogger.ts` is single-file, cli-local, no global singleton. `acp-bridge` stays ignorant of cli — it only sees a callback. Dependency graph unchanged.
+
+### 3.2 No global singleton
+
+Logger is created in `runQwenServe`, passed by closure to internal serve modules that need it (or by callback to `acp-bridge`). Rationale:
+
+- Mirrors how `BridgeOptions` already injects dependencies.
+- Avoids the cross-test state leaks `debugLogger` has hit historically (`resetDebugLoggingState()` exists for that reason).
+
+## 4. Daemon ID & File Path
+
+- Path: `Storage.getGlobalDebugDir() + '/daemon/.log'`
+  - Resolves to `${QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR or ~/.qwen}/debug/daemon/.log`.
+  - Reuses `Storage.getGlobalDebugDir()` so the runtime-dir override (env var, contextual) automatically applies.
+- `daemon-id` = `serve-${pid}-${workspaceHash}`
+  - `workspaceHash` = `crypto.createHash('sha256').update(boundWorkspace).digest('hex').slice(0, 8)`
+  - `pid` disambiguates multiple daemons on the same workspace.
+  - `workspaceHash` is fixed-length, filename-safe, and stable for the same workspace path.
+- `latest` symlink: `~/.qwen/debug/daemon/latest` → current process's log file. Updated on init using the existing `updateSymlink` helper (`packages/core/src/utils/symlink.ts`). Symlink failure is logged and ignored — does not degrade primary writes. Distinct from `${runtimeBaseDir}/debug/latest` (session-scoped) per non-goal.
+- File mode: `'a'` (append on `O_APPEND | O_CREAT`). Existing files survive restarts for forensics.
+
+## 5. Public API
+
+```ts
+// packages/cli/src/serve/daemonLogger.ts
+
+export interface DaemonLogContext {
+  route?: string;
+  sessionId?: string;
+  clientId?: string;
+  childPid?: number;
+  channelId?: string;
+  [key: string]: unknown;
+}
+
+export interface DaemonLogger {
+  info(message: string, ctx?: DaemonLogContext): void;
+  warn(message: string, ctx?: DaemonLogContext): void;
+  /**
+   * `err.stack` is appended as indented continuation lines after the message.
+   * Both `err` and `ctx` are optional and independent.
+   */
+  error(message: string, err?: Error | null, ctx?: DaemonLogContext): void;
+  /**
+   * File-only tee for lines whose caller is already writing to stderr
+   * (ACP child stderr forwarder, `writeServeDebugLine`). The line is
+   * appended to the daemon log under the standard ` [] [DAEMON] `
+   * prefix; it is NOT echoed to stderr (which would double the operator's output).
+   */
+  raw(line: string, level?: 'info' | 'warn' | 'error'): void;
+  /** Absolute path to the daemon log file. */
+  getLogPath(): string;
+  /** `serve--`. */
+  getDaemonId(): string;
+  /** Drain pending appends. Called from runQwenServe shutdown handler. */
+  flush(): Promise;
+}
+
+export interface InitDaemonLoggerOptions {
+  boundWorkspace: string;
+  pid?: number; // default process.pid
+  now?: () => Date; // default () => new Date()
+  stderr?: (line: string) => void; // default writeStderrLine
+  baseDir?: string; // default Storage.getGlobalDebugDir()
+}
+
+export function initDaemonLogger(opts: InitDaemonLoggerOptions): DaemonLogger;
+```
+
+`initDaemonLogger` synchronously:
+
+1. Computes `daemonId` + log path.
+2. `mkdirSync(parentDir, { recursive: true })` — fail → return no-op logger, write one stderr warning. Boot continues.
+3. `appendFileSync(path, '\n', { flag: 'a' })` — writes `daemon started pid= workspace= version=` synchronously. This doubles as a writability probe; on EACCES/ENOSPC, fail-mode = no-op logger + one stderr warning.
+4. Updates `latest` symlink (best-effort, errors swallowed).
+5. Returns logger; subsequent `info/warn/error/raw` calls enqueue async `fs.promises.appendFile`.
+
+If `process.env['QWEN_DAEMON_LOG_FILE']` is one of `0|false|off|no`, `initDaemonLogger` short-circuits to a no-op logger before any filesystem call.
+
+## 6. Log Line Format
+
+Mirror `debugLogger.buildLogLine` for visual parity:
+
+```
+2026-05-26T03:14:15.926Z [ERROR] [DAEMON] [trace_id=... span_id=...] route=POST /session/:id/prompt sessionId=abc clientId=xyz daemon failed to ...
+  at fn (file.ts:42:7)
+  at ...
+```
+
+- Timestamp: ISO 8601, UTC.
+- Level: `INFO` | `WARN` | `ERROR`. (No DEBUG initially — `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG` flows in as `INFO` via `raw()`.)
+- Tag: literal `DAEMON`.
+- Trace context: `trace.getActiveSpan()` when available; same logic as `debugLogger.getActiveSpanTraceContext`. Helper extracted to a shared module (`packages/core/src/utils/traceContext.ts`?) or duplicated locally — leave to plan.
+- Context fields: rendered as `key=value`, fixed order (`route`, `sessionId`, `clientId`, `childPid`, `channelId`), then any extra keys sorted lexicographically. Values containing whitespace or `=` are `JSON.stringify`-quoted.
+- Error stack: appended as indented continuation lines after the message.
+- `raw(line, level)` writes the line as-is after the standard prefix ` [] [DAEMON] `, no extra processing.
+
+**Tee semantics (important):**
+
+- `info` / `warn` / `error` write to **both** the daemon log file **and** stderr (via the injected `stderr` writer). Callers replacing a previous `writeStderrLine(...)` use these directly; no separate stderr call needed.
+- `raw` writes to **file only**. Used by ACP child stderr forwarder and `writeServeDebugLine`, where the caller is already writing to stderr through its existing path. Doubling would flood operator output.
+
+## 7. Boot / Shutdown Flow
+
+```
+runQwenServe(opts):
+  ...
+  daemonLog = initDaemonLogger({ boundWorkspace })
+  writeStderrLine(`qwen serve: daemon log → ${daemonLog.getLogPath()}`)
+  // boot banner is stderr-only to avoid the line referencing itself
+
+  bridge = createHttpAcpBridge({
+    ...,
+    onDiagnosticLine: (line, level) => daemonLog.raw(line, level),
+  })
+
+  app = createServeApp({ ..., daemonLog })  // injected for sendBridgeError
+
+  shutdownHandler(signal):
+    daemonLog.warn(`shutdown signal=${signal}`)
+    await drainBridge()
+    await daemonLog.flush()
+    process.exit(0)
+```
+
+- Boot banner is stderr-only (the path line about itself would be circular if logged).
+- `initDaemonLogger` is synchronous so any failure is visible immediately at boot, not buried after the first error.
+- Shutdown `flush()` is the last awaited step before `process.exit`. SIGKILL is unflushable by definition — we accept that.

+
+Every existing stderr write is preserved. Daemon log is **additive**, never substitutive.
+
+## 9. Write Path & Flush
+
+- Internal queue: a single `Promise` chain (`this.pending = this.pending.then(() => fs.promises.appendFile(...))`).
+- Each `info/warn/error/raw` call enqueues an append (file) and, for `info/warn/error`, also synchronously calls the injected `stderr` writer.
+- Stderr write order is preserved (synchronous, before queuing the append). File appends are eventually consistent in enqueue order.
+- Write failures set an internal `degraded` flag and emit a one-time stderr warning. Subsequent calls still attempt the write but the counter is not maintained.
+- `flush()` returns the current tail promise.
+- No buffering layer: each call = one `appendFile`. Volume is low (route errors + lifecycle); micro-batching is premature optimization.
+
+## 10. Configuration
+
+| Env var                                         | Behavior                                                                     |
+| ----------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `QWEN_DAEMON_LOG_FILE=0\|false\|off\|no`        | `initDaemonLogger` returns no-op; tee is a no-op; stderr unchanged           |
+| `QWEN_DAEMON_LOG_FILE=` or unset | Enabled (default)                                                            |
+| `QWEN_RUNTIME_DIR=`                       | Relocates `~/.qwen` root, daemon log moves with it (existing semantics)      |
+| `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG=1`                            | Existing — `writeServeDebugLine` activates; lines now also tee to daemon log |
+
+`QWEN_DAEMON_LOG_FILE` is intentionally separate from `QWEN_DEBUG_LOG_FILE` so disabling per-session debug logs doesn't take down the operator's daemon log (and vice versa).
+
+## 11. Error Handling
+
+- `initDaemonLogger` mkdir/open failure → no-op logger + one stderr warning. Daemon boot proceeds. Operator sees nothing in the file but still gets stderr.
+- Per-append failures → flip degraded flag, emit one stderr warning, keep trying. Issue says nothing about a degraded-mode UI signal, so no public surface needed.
+- `flush()` rejection → caught in shutdown handler, logged via `writeStderrLine`. Does not block exit.
+- `latest` symlink failure → swallowed; primary writes unaffected.
+
+## 12. Testing
+
+### `daemonLogger.test.ts` (new)
+
+- Sandboxed `baseDir`, mocked `now`, `pid`, `stderr`.
+- Path & daemon-id derivation including the 8-char `workspaceHash` for known input.
+- `latest` symlink created and updated on subsequent `initDaemonLogger` invocations in the same dir.
+- Level formatting (INFO/WARN/ERROR), context field order, error stack continuation.
+- Trace context injection when an active span exists.
+- `raw(line, level)` writes the prefixed line verbatim.
+- `flush()` resolves only after all enqueued writes hit the file.
+- `QWEN_DAEMON_LOG_FILE=0` → no file created.
+- `mkdir` failure → no-op logger, one stderr warning, subsequent calls don't throw.
+- `appendFile` failure → degraded flag flipped, one stderr warning.
+
+### `runQwenServe.test.ts` (extend)
+
+- Boot writes `daemon started ...` line to the log.
+- Shutdown handler awaits `daemonLog.flush()` before exit.
+- Stderr boot banner contains the daemon log path.
+
+### `server.test.ts` (extend)
+
+- A route that throws routes the error through `daemonLog.error(...)` with the right `route` and `sessionId`.
+
+### acp-bridge tests (extend)
+
+- `onDiagnosticLine` callback invoked from `writeServeDebugLine` when `QWEN_SERVE_DEBUG=1` and from `spawnChannel` child stderr forwarder. Tests inject a capturing fake; no filesystem.
+
+## 13. Documentation
+
+- `docs/cli/serve.md` (or wherever serve is documented) gains a "Daemon log file" section covering: path, daemon-id format, `latest` symlink, `QWEN_DAEMON_LOG_FILE` opt-out, distinction from per-session `debug/.txt`.
+- README under `packages/cli/src/serve/` if one exists.
+- No CHANGELOG-style file in this repo; release notes are handled separately.
+
+## 14. Rollback
+
+- Pure-additive change. Rollback = revert the commit:
+  - Delete `daemonLogger.ts` + its test.
+  - Revert `runQwenServe.ts` lifecycle / sendBridgeError / bridge / spawnChannel changes.
+  - Remove `onDiagnosticLine` from `BridgeOptions`.
+- No on-disk state to clean up; existing daemon log files become orphaned but harmless.
+
+## 15. Acceptance Criteria (from issue)
+
+| Criterion                                                           | How met                                                                                           |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `qwen serve` creates / appends daemon log without shell redirection | `initDaemonLogger` opens the file at boot                                                         |
+| HTTP 500 from `POST /session/:id/prompt` correlatable in daemon log | `sendBridgeError` writes `route=` + `sessionId=`                                                  |
+| ACP child stderr lines also in daemon log                           | `spawnChannel` tees through `onDiagnosticLine`                                                    |
+| Logging works before first session and after all sessions closed    | Not session-scoped; lives for daemon lifetime                                                     |
+| Existing stderr behavior intact                                     | All writes are additive; no `writeStderrLine` call is removed without an equivalent left in place |
+| Log path + opt-out documented                                       | Docs section in §13                                                                               |
+
+## 16. Open Questions
+
+None blocking. Possible follow-ups:
+
+- Should `latest` symlink go in `~/.qwen/debug/daemon/latest` or `~/.qwen/debug/daemon-latest`? Spec picks the former for directory tidiness.
+- Should we offer JSON-line output as a future flag (e.g., `QWEN_DAEMON_LOG_FORMAT=json`)? Out of scope for this PR; structured export is what #2014 owns.

+### 1.2 拆分判定函数
+
+**唯一规则：操作的 scope 是 session 还是 workspace？**
+
+- **session-scoped**（操作特定 sessionId：prompt/cancel/close/model/approval/metadata/heartbeat）**→ 留 `AcpSessionBridge`**
+- **workspace-scoped**（操作工作区整体：file/auth/agents/memory/mcp-status/skills/env/preflight/tool-toggle/init）**→ 进 `DaemonWorkspaceService`**
+
+workspace 方法中部分需要查询 child（status getters、restartMcpServer），通过 **injected callback** 委托 bridge 的 channel 完成，service 本身不持有 connection。
+
+### 1.3 跨切依赖：callback 注入（非共享 infra）
+
+当前 `publishWorkspaceEvent` 和 `knownClientIds` 由 bridge 持有（per-session bus fan-out / session-derived）。service 通过 **单向 callback 注入** 使用它们，不引入共享基础设施层。
+
+**理由：**
+
+1. EventBus 是 per-session bus（`bridge.ts:1457`），workspace-level bus 在代码注释中已挂在 PR 24（`bridge.ts:2611`）
+2. `knownClientIds` 同样是派生自 session-attach state，注释明确 "PR 24 will replace it"（`bridge.ts:2658`）
+3. 这两件是已立项独立工作，硬绑进本 PR 等于叠加额外 refactor
+4. callback 注入对 service 是单向依赖（只持函数引用，不知道来自 bridge）；PR 24 落地后换注入源即可，service 接口不变
+
+**硬规则：**
+
+1. `DaemonWorkspaceServiceDeps` 中不得出现 `AcpSessionBridge` 类型引用——只用函数签名。
+2. bridge 对外新暴露 `queryWorkspaceStatus` 和 `invokeWorkspaceCommand` 两个方法，供 service 通过 callback 调用。内部仍使用现有的 `requestWorkspaceStatus` / `liveChannelInfo` + timeout 逻辑，不新建抽象。
+
+---
+
+## 2. 构造时序与依赖注入
+
+```ts
+// runQwenServe.ts 中的构造顺序
+
+// 1. fsFactory 先构造（两者共享）
+const fsFactory = resolveBridgeFsFactory({ ... });
+
+// 2. bridge 先构造（它是 session/channel/EventBus 的 owner）
+const bridge = createAcpSessionBridge({
+  eventRingSize,
+  boundWorkspace,
+  fileSystem: createBridgeFileSystemAdapter(fsFactory),
+  // ... 其他现有参数不变
+});
+
+// 3. service 后构造，接收 bridge 的 callback 集
+const workspace = createDaemonWorkspaceService({
+  fsFactory,
+  deviceFlowRegistry,
+  subagentManager,
+  boundWorkspace,
+  contextFilename,
+  // 跨切 callback — service 不知道它们来自 bridge
+  publishWorkspaceEvent: (event) => bridge.publishWorkspaceEvent(event),
+  knownClientIds: () => bridge.knownClientIds(),
+  // child 委托 callback — workspace-scoped ext method 通过 bridge 的 channel 到达 agent
+  queryWorkspaceStatus: (method, idle) => bridge.queryWorkspaceStatus(method, idle),
+  invokeWorkspaceCommand: (method, params, opts) => bridge.invokeWorkspaceCommand(method, params, opts),
+});
+
+// 4. 两者传给 server routes + /acp handler
+createServeApp({ bridge, workspace, ... });
+```
+
+**构造顺序 bridge → service 是硬依赖**（service 需要 bridge 实例上的方法作为 callback 源）。
+
+---
+
+## 3. DaemonWorkspaceService 内部结构

+### 3.2 Facade 接口
+
+```ts
+export interface DaemonWorkspaceService {
+  file: FileService;

+  agents: AgentsService;
+  memory: MemoryService;
+
+  // 纯本地

+  restartMcpServer(

+    opts?: RestartOpts,
+  ): Promise;
+}
+```
+
+> `listWorkspaceSessions` / `recordHeartbeat` / `getHeartbeatState` / `publishWorkspaceEvent` / `knownClientIds` 留在 bridge——它们访问 bridge 内部的 per-session state（`byId` map / session bus），是 session 衍生的基础设施。service 通过 callback 消费，不直接拥有。
+
+### 3.3 Facade Factory 签名
+
+```ts
+export interface DaemonWorkspaceServiceDeps {
+  fsFactory: WorkspaceFileSystemFactory;

+| FileService   | `read`, `readBytes`, `write`, `edit`, `glob`, `list`, `stat`                | `fsFactory`, `boundWorkspace`                                       | `serve/routes/workspaceFileRead.ts`, `workspaceFileWrite.ts`, `serve/fs/` |
+| AuthService   | `startFlow`, `getFlowStatus(flowId)`, `cancelFlow(flowId)`, `getAuthStatus` | `deviceFlowRegistry`                                                | `serve/auth/deviceFlow.ts`, `server.ts:794-966`                           |

+
+每个方法第一个参数都是 `ctx: WorkspaceRequestContext`，trust gate 在方法入口统一执行。
+
+---
+
+## 4. WorkspaceRequestContext
+
+```ts
+export interface WorkspaceRequestContext {
+  originatorClientId?: string; // X-Qwen-Client-Id header（只读操作可缺失）
+  sessionId?: string; // audit 关联（如从 session context 内发起的操作）
+  route: string; // audit trail（如 "POST /file/write"）
+  workspaceCwd: string; // trust boundary root
+}
+```
+
+> `originatorClientId` 为 optional——当前 file read 等只读路由在 header 缺失时照常工作（`clientId ?? undefined` 传入 `fsFactory.forRequest`）。write 路由在 clientId **存在时**才校验合法性。
+
+**构建位置**：L1 route handler / `/acp` method handler 从 request headers/params 提取后传入 L2。L2 只消费，不自行提取 HTTP context。
+

+
+### 5.2 留在 bridge 的
+
+- 所有 session/channel 生命周期（spawn/load/resume/send/cancel/close/kill/detach）
+- EventBus 持有 + `publishWorkspaceEvent` fan-out 实现（供 service callback 消费）
+- `knownClientIds`（供 service callback 消费）
+- `queryWorkspaceStatus` / `invokeWorkspaceCommand`（新暴露，封装 channel + timeout + error，供 service callback 委托）
+- 权限仲裁 mediator
+- session 配置变更（model/approvalMode/recap）
+- session 状态（context/supportedCommands/metadata/heartbeat/listSessions）
+
+### 5.3 改名
+
+- `HttpAcpBridge` → `AcpSessionBridge`
+- `createHttpAcpBridge` → `createAcpSessionBridge`
+- 文件 `serve/httpAcpBridge.ts` → `serve/acpSessionBridge.ts`
+
+无外部包消费者（验证过 `packages/cli/src/serve/` 和 `packages/acp-bridge/src/` 之外无引用），内部安全。

+
+## 8. SDK 兼容与错误格式
+
+### 8.1 SDK backward compat
+
+REST API surface（路径、HTTP 方法、请求/响应 JSON schema）保持不变。`sdk-typescript` 中的 `DaemonClient` / `DaemonSessionClient` 无需任何改动。
+
+验证方式：现有 `packages/sdk-typescript/test/unit/DaemonClient.test.ts` 和 `DaemonSessionClient.test.ts` 在本 PR 中必须零修改通过。
+
+### 8.2 /acp trust gate 拒绝的错误格式
+
+两传输语义等价但编码不同：
+
+| 场景                          | REST                                       | /acp (JSON-RPC)                                                          |
+| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| 无效/缺失 bearer token        | `401 { error, code: "unauthorized" }`      | `{ error: { code: -32001, message: "unauthorized" } }`                   |
+| 无效 clientId                 | `400 { error, code: "invalid_client_id" }` | `{ error: { code: -32602, message: "invalid_client_id", data: {...} } }` |
+| trust gate 拒绝（路径逃逸等） | `403 { error, code: "forbidden" }`         | `{ error: { code: -32003, message: "forbidden", data: {...} } }`         |
+
+> JSON-RPC error codes 遵循 [ACP error code registry](https://spec.acpprotocol.org)（标准范围 -32000 ~ -32099 为 server-defined application errors）。具体 code 值在实现时对齐 `/acp` 现有 error 映射逻辑（`acp-integration/errorCodes.ts`）。
+
+---
+
+## 9. 测试策略
+
+| 层                | 测试类型                                                                | 覆盖目标                                                       |
+| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Sub-service unit  | Jest，mock fsFactory / DeviceFlowRegistry / SubagentManager / callbacks | 业务逻辑正确性 + trust gate 拒绝非法 clientId                  |
+| Route integration | 现有 route test 改为经 service（验证 HTTP surface 不变）                | 回归保障，REST 路径不 break                                    |
+| E2e 等价验证      | 启动真实 serve + HTTP 请求                                              | REST 和 `/acp` 对同一操作返回等价结果；trust gate 两端一致拒绝 |
+
+### E2e 验证矩阵
+
+- File read/write：REST `GET /file` vs `/acp` `qwen/workspace/fs/read` → 同结果
+- Agent CRUD：REST `POST /workspace/agents` vs `/acp` `qwen/workspace/agents/create` → 同行为
+- Trust gate rejection：无效 clientId 两路径都 403
+- Workspace init：验证 fsFactory 走通 + audit trail 产出
+
+---
+
+## 10. PR 形态
+
+单 PR 原子提交，包含：
+
+- DaemonWorkspaceService 全部新建文件
+- REST route handler 改为调 service
+- bridge 瘦身（迁出 8 个 workspace 方法）+ 新暴露 2 个 child 委托方法
+- `HttpAcpBridge` → `AcpSessionBridge` 改名
+- `/acp` northbound ext methods 新增（27 个）
+- 全量测试（unit + integration + e2e）
+
+---
+
+## 11. 明确不做（scope boundary）
+
+- workspace-scoped EventBus（PR 24 territory）
+- workspace-scoped ClientRegistry（PR 24 territory）
+- L2 ↔ L3 拆分（把 `ClientSideConnection` 从 bridge 拆出）
+- REST 做成 `/acp` compat shim（长期方向）
+- channels standalone 模式统一（独立部署形态问题）
+- `listWorkspaceSessions` / `recordHeartbeat` / `getHeartbeatState` / `updateSessionMetadata` 迁移（session-scoped，保留原位）
+- `publishWorkspaceEvent` / `knownClientIds` 的 ownership 转移（session 衍生基础设施，保留 bridge 持有，service 通过 callback 消费）
+
+---
+
+## 12. 待 chiga0 确认的决策点
+
+1. `/acp` northbound 命名空间：`qwen/workspace/...` vs 其他（如复用 `qwen/control/...`）
+2. 改名是否同 PR：倾向同 PR，但可按反馈拆出
+
+> 以上两点如需调整，只影响命名和 commit 边界，不影响架构。

 # Authentication
 
-Qwen Code supports three authentication methods. Pick the one that matches how you want to run the CLI:
+Qwen Code's first-run `/auth` menu has three top-level options. Pick the one that matches how you want to run the CLI:
 
-- **Qwen OAuth**: sign in with your `qwen.ai` account in a browser. **Free tier discontinued on 2026-04-15** — switch to another method.
-- **Alibaba Cloud Coding Plan**: use an API key from Alibaba Cloud. Paid subscription with diverse model options and higher quotas.

 # Ignoring Files

+This document provides an overview of the Qwen Ignore (`.qwenignore`) feature of Qwen Code. Qwen Code also recognizes custom ignore files configured by `context.fileFiltering.customIgnoreFiles`, which defaults to the compatibility files `.agentignore` and `.aiignore`.

 ## How it works
 
-When you add a path to your `.qwenignore` file, tools that respect this file will exclude matching files and directories from their operations. For example, when you use the [`read_many_files`](../../developers/tools/multi-file) command, any paths in your `.qwenignore` file will be automatically excluded.

+For the most part, these ignore files follow the conventions of `.gitignore` files:
 
 - Blank lines and lines starting with `#` are ignored.
 - Standard glob patterns are supported (such as `*`, `?`, and `[]`).
 - Putting a `/` at the end will only match directories.
-- Putting a `/` at the beginning anchors the path relative to the `.qwenignore` file.

 - `!` negates a pattern.

Supports request controls such as `timeout`, `maxRetries`, `enableCacheControl`, `splitToolMedia` (set `true` for strict OpenAI-compatible servers like LM Studio that reject non-text content on `role: "tool"` messages — splits media into a follow-up user message), `contextWindowSize` (override model's context window size), `modalities` (override auto-detected input modalities), `customHeaders` (custom HTTP headers for API requests), and `extra_body` (additional body parameters for OpenAI-compatible API requests only), along with fine-tuning knobs under `samplingParams` (for example `temperature`, `top_p`, `max_tokens`). Leave unset to rely on provider defaults. | `undefined` |
-| `model.chatCompression.contextPercentageThreshold` | number  | **REMOVED.** Auto-compaction now uses a three-tier threshold ladder (warn / auto / hard) computed internally from the model's context window via the `computeThresholds()` function — no longer user-configurable. Setting this field in `settings.json` is silently ignored (no startup warning). There is currently no replacement for "disable compression entirely" — reactive overflow recovery remains the safety net at the API layer if compression itself fails. (See PR #4345 / `docs/design/auto-compaction-threshold-redesign.md` for the redesign rationale.)                                                                                                                                                                                   | `N/A`       |

-| `model.chatCompression.enableScreenshotTrigger`    | boolean | When `true`, auto-compaction also fires once the number of tool-returned images accumulated in history reaches `screenshotTriggerThreshold`, independent of token usage — aimed at computer-use sessions where frequent screenshots dilute model attention. Counts only images returned inside tool results, not user-pasted images.

-| `model.chatCompression.screenshotTriggerThreshold` | number  | Tool-returned image count at or above which the screenshot trigger fires (only when `enableScreenshotTrigger`). Compaction resets the count — surviving images are re-embedded as top-level parts, which the trigger doesn't count — so it won't immediately re-fire.

-| `model.skipLoopDetection`                          | boolean | Disables streaming loop detection checks. Defaults to `true` (loop detection is skipped) to avoid false positives interrupting legitimate workflows. Set to `false` to re-enable streaming loop detection — useful as a guardrail in headless / non-interactive runs where stuck repetition can otherwise waste budget.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      | `true`      |

+| `model.chatCompression.contextPercentageThreshold` | number  | **REMOVED.** Auto-compaction now uses a three-tier threshold ladder (warn / auto / hard) computed internally from the model's context window via the `computeThresholds()` function — no longer user-configurable. Setting this field in `settings.json` is silently ignored (no startup warning). There is currently no replacement for "disable compression entirely" — reactive overflow recovery remains the safety net at the API layer if compression itself fails.

+**toolResultContentFormat:**
+
+Controls how text-only tool results are serialized in OpenAI-compatible requests. The default `"parts"` keeps the standard content-part array shape. Set `"string"` only for legacy OpenAI-compatible runtimes whose tool templates ignore text content parts, such as older GLM-5.1 vLLM/SGLang templates. Tool-returned media is still controlled by `splitToolMedia`.

 **contextWindowSize:**
 
 Overrides the default context window size for the selected model. Qwen Code determines the context window using built-in defaults based on model name matching, with a constant fallback value. Use this setting when a provider's effective context limit differs from Qwen Code's default. This value defines the model's assumed maximum context capacity, not a per-request token limit.

 #### Troubleshooting File Search Performance
 
 If you are experiencing performance issues with file searching (e.g., with `@` completions), especially in projects with a very large number of files, here are a few things you can try in order of recommendation:
 
-1. **Use `.qwenignore`:** Create a `.qwenignore` file in your project root to exclude directories that contain a large number of files that you don't need to reference (e.g., build artifacts, logs, `node_modules`). Reducing the total number of files crawled is the most effective way to improve performance.
+1. **Use an ignore file:** Create a `.qwenignore` or configured custom ignore file in your project root to exclude directories that contain a large number of files that you don't need to reference (e.g., build artifacts, logs, `node_modules`). Reducing the total number of files crawled is the most effective way to improve performance.
 2. **Disable Fuzzy Search:** If ignoring files is not enough, you can disable fuzzy search by setting `enableFuzzySearch` to `false` in your `settings.json` file. This will use a simpler, non-fuzzy matching algorithm, which can be faster.
 3. **Disable Recursive File Search:** As a last resort, you can disable recursive file search entirely by setting `enableRecursiveFileSearch` to `false`. This will be the fastest option as it avoids a recursive crawl of your project. However, it means you will need to type the full path to files when using `@` completions.

 #### mcpServers
 
 Configures connections to one or more Model-Context Protocol (MCP) servers for discovering and using custom tools. Qwen Code attempts to connect to each configured MCP server to discover available tools. If multiple MCP servers expose a tool with the same name, the tool names will be prefixed with the server alias you defined in the configuration (e.g., `serverAlias__actualToolName`) to avoid conflicts. Note that the system might strip certain schema properties from MCP tool definitions for compatibility. At least one of `command`, `url`, or `httpUrl` must be provided. If multiple are specified, the order of precedence is `httpUrl`, then `url`, then `command`.

-| `FORCE_HYPERLINK`                                  | Override the OSC 8 clickable-link detection in the markdown renderer. Set to `1` (or any non-zero value, or empty string) to force-enable, `0` to force-disable. Honors `NO_COLOR` / `QWEN_DISABLE_HYPERLINKS` opt-outs above it.                                                 | Use this to opt into OSC 8 inside `tmux` / GNU `screen` (auto-detection refuses by default because the host terminal's capabilities are hidden behind the multiplexer). Requires `set -g allow-passthrough on` on tmux 3.3+. Also enables Hyper, which isn't auto-detected.                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
-| `QWEN_DISABLE_HYPERLINKS`                          | Set to `1` to hard-disable OSC 8 clickable hyperlinks in the markdown renderer even on terminals that auto-detect as capable.                                                                                                                                                     | Useful when a terminal advertises support but breaks on long URLs, or when piping output through an intermediary that mangles escape sequences.

-| `QWEN_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS`                      | Overrides the default maximum output tokens per response. When not set, Qwen Code uses an adaptive strategy: starts with 8K tokens and automatically retries with 64K if the response is truncated. Set this to a specific value (e.g., `16000`) to use a fixed limit instead.    | Takes precedence over the capped default (8K) but is overridden by `samplingParams.max_tokens` in settings. Disables automatic escalation when set. Example: `export QWEN_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=16000`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
-| `QWEN_CODE_UNATTENDED_RETRY`                       | Set to `true` or `1` to enable persistent retry mode. When enabled, transient API capacity errors (HTTP 429 Rate Limit and 529 Overloaded) are retried indefinitely with exponential backoff (capped at 5 minutes per retry) and heartbeat keepalives every 30 seconds on stderr. | Designed for CI/CD pipelines and background automation where long-running tasks should survive temporary API outages. Must be set explicitly — `CI=true` alone does **not** activate this mode. See [Headless Mode](../features/headless#persistent-retry-mode) for details. Example: `export QWEN_CODE_UNATTENDED_RETRY=1`                                                                                                                                                        |
-| `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP`                        | Set to `1` to enable startup performance profiling. Writes a JSON timing report to `~/.qwen/startup-perf/` with per-phase durations.                                                                                                                                              | Only active inside the sandbox child process (or with `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP_OUTER=1`). Zero overhead when not set. Example: `export QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP=1`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
-| `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP_OUTER`                  | Set to `1` together with `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP=1` to also collect a startup profile in the outer (pre-sandbox) process. Outer-process reports get an `outer-` filename prefix to keep them distinct from the sandbox child's report.                                         | Off by default — only the sandbox child collects, to avoid duplicate reports. Useful for local development where the cli isn't relaunched into a sandbox.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
-| `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP_NO_HEAP`                | Set to `1` together with `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP=1` to skip the per-checkpoint `process.memoryUsage()` snapshots. Useful when measuring the profiler's own Heisenberg overhead.                                                                                                | Off by default. Heap snapshots cost ~50 µs each (well below 1% of total startup) so most users should leave this alone.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
-| `QWEN_CODE_LEGACY_MCP_BLOCKING`                    | Set to `1` to restore the pre-progressive-MCP behavior where `Config.initialize()` waits synchronously for every configured MCP server's discover handshake before returning.                                                                                                     | Off by default. Modern qwen-code lets MCP servers come online in the background while the UI is already interactive; the model sees each batch of new tools within ~16 ms of the server settling. This flag is kept as a rollback escape hatch for ≥ 1 release. Example: `export QWEN_CODE_LEGACY_MCP_BLOCKING=1`                                                                                                                                                                  |

+| `QWEN_HOME`                                        | Customizes the global configuration directory (default: `~/.qwen`). Accepts an absolute or relative path (relative paths are resolved from the current working directory). Leading `~` is expanded to the user's home directory.                                                          | Stores credentials, settings, memory, skills, and other global state. When set, project-level `.qwen/` directories are unaffected.

Useful when `QWEN_HOME` is on a shared/slow filesystem.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

+| `QWEN_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS`                      | Overrides the default maximum output tokens per response. When not set, Qwen Code uses an adaptive strategy: starts with 8K tokens and automatically retries with 64K if the response is truncated. Set this to a specific value (e.g., `16000`) to use a fixed limit instead.            | Takes precedence over the capped default (8K) but is overridden by `samplingParams.max_tokens` in settings. Disables automatic escalation when set. Example: `export QWEN_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=16000`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
+| `QWEN_CODE_UNATTENDED_RETRY`                       | Set to `true` or `1` to enable persistent retry mode. When enabled, transient API capacity errors (HTTP 429 Rate Limit and 529 Overloaded) are retried indefinitely with exponential backoff (capped at 5 minutes per retry) and heartbeat keepalives every 30 seconds on stderr.         | Designed for CI/CD pipelines and background automation where long-running tasks should survive temporary API outages. Must be set explicitly — `CI=true` alone does **not** activate this mode. See [Headless Mode](../features/headless#persistent-retry-mode) for details.

Writes a JSON timing report to `~/.qwen/startup-perf/` with per-phase durations.                                                                                                                                                      | Only active inside the sandbox child process (or with `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP_OUTER=1`). Zero overhead when not set. Example: `export QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP=1`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
+| `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP_OUTER`                  | Set to `1` together with `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP=1` to also collect a startup profile in the outer (pre-sandbox) process. Outer-process reports get an `outer-` filename prefix to keep them distinct from the sandbox child's report.                                                 | Off by default — only the sandbox child collects, to avoid duplicate reports. Useful for local development where the cli isn't relaunched into a sandbox.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP_NO_HEAP`                | Set to `1` together with `QWEN_CODE_PROFILE_STARTUP=1` to skip the per-checkpoint `process.memoryUsage()` snapshots. Useful when measuring the profiler's own Heisenberg overhead.                                                                                                        | Off by default. Heap snapshots cost ~50 µs each (well below 1% of total startup) so most users should leave this alone.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
+| `QWEN_CODE_LEGACY_MCP_BLOCKING`                    | Set to `1` to restore the pre-progressive-MCP behavior where `Config.initialize()` waits synchronously for every configured MCP server's discover handshake before returning.                                                                                                             | Off by default. Modern qwen-code lets MCP servers come online in the background while the UI is already interactive; the model sees each batch of new tools within ~16 ms of the server settling. This flag is kept as a rollback escape hatch for ≥ 1 release. Example: `export QWEN_CODE_LEGACY_MCP_BLOCKING=1`                                                                                                                                                                  |

+- **Installed** — your installed extensions, grouped by scope (**User level**, **Project level**, and favorites). Use `↑`/`↓` to navigate, `Space` to enable/disable an extension, `f` to favorite it, and `Enter` to open its details. MCP servers bundled by an extension appear nested under their parent extension with live connection status; you can enable or disable each server individually from there.

+# QQ Bot (QQ机器人)
+
+This guide covers setting up a Qwen Code channel on QQ via the official QQ Bot Open Platform API.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A QQ account (mobile app for scanning the QR code)
+
+## Setup
+
+### QR Code Login
+
+Start the channel — the first time it will show a QR code. Scan it with your QQ app to activate. No developer account or manual registration needed. Credentials are saved and reused automatically.
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "my-qq": {
+      "type": "qq"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+qwen channel start my-qq
+# Scan the QR code in the terminal with your QQ app
+```
+
+### Manual Configuration (Developer Portal)
+
+You can also use credentials from the [QQ Bot Open Platform](https://q.qq.com/) developer portal if you already have an app registered there:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "my-qq": {
+      "type": "qq",
+      "appID": "YOUR_APP_ID",
+      "appSecret": "$QQ_APP_SECRET"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Set the secret as an environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export QQ_APP_SECRET=
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "my-qq": {
+      "type": "qq",
+      "appID": "YOUR_APP_ID",
+      "appSecret": "$QQ_APP_SECRET",
+      "sandbox": false,
+      "senderPolicy": "open",
+      "sessionScope": "user",
+      "cwd": "/path/to/your/project",
+      "instructions": "你是一个通过 QQ Bot 对话的 AI 助手。回复控制在 2000 字符以内。",
+      "blockStreaming": "on",
+      "groupPolicy": "disabled",
+      "groups": {
+        "*": { "requireMention": true }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### QQ-Specific Options
+
+| Option      | Default | Description                                                                       |
+| ----------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `appID`     | —       | QQ Bot AppID from developer portal. If omitted, QR code login is used.            |
+| `appSecret` | —       | QQ Bot AppSecret. Supports `$ENV_VAR` syntax. If omitted, QR code login is used.  |
+| `sandbox`   | `false` | Set to `true` to use the QQ sandbox API environment (`sandbox.api.sgroup.qq.com`) |
+
+All standard channel options (see [Channel Overview](./overview#options)) are also supported:
+`senderPolicy`, `allowedUsers`, `sessionScope`, `cwd`, `instructions`, `groupPolicy`, `groups`, `dispatchMode`, `blockStreaming`, `blockStreamingChunk`, `blockStreamingCoalesce`.
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+# Start only the QQ channel
+qwen channel start my-qq
+
+# Or start all configured channels together
+qwen channel start
+```
+
+Open QQ and send a message to your bot. You should see the response arrive in your chat.
+
+## Group Chats
+
+To use the bot in QQ groups:
+
+1. Set `groupPolicy` to `"allowlist"` or `"open"` in your channel config
+2. Add the bot to a QQ group via the QQ Bot Open Platform dashboard or by having a group admin invite it
+3. Group members must **@mention** the bot to trigger a response
+
+QQ Bot API V2 only delivers group messages that @mention the bot — the bot does not see all group messages. By default, `requireMention` is `true` and should be left that way for QQ.
+
+See [Group Chats](./overview#group-chats) for full details on group policies and mention gating.
+
+## Markdown Support
+
+The QQ Bot channel supports Markdown formatting (`msg_type=2`). The agent's Markdown responses are sent as-is, and QQ renders them with rich formatting (bold, italic, code blocks, links, lists).
+
+If the QQ server rejects a Markdown message for any reason, the channel automatically retries it as plain text — so your messages always go through even if the bot's Markdown capability is restricted server-side.
+
+This is the opposite of the WeChat channel, which strips all Markdown. You can let the agent use full Markdown with the QQ channel.
+
+## Token Management
+
+Access tokens expire after approximately 2 hours. The channel automatically refreshes them at 80% of their TTL (typically ~1.6 hours). If a refresh fails, it retries after 60 seconds.
+
+Token refresh continues across WebSocket reconnects — the channel never goes offline due to an expired token as long as the AppID and AppSecret remain valid.
+
+## Connection Resilience
+
+- **Auto-reconnect:** On WebSocket disconnect, the channel retries with exponential backoff (up to 20 attempts, max 30 seconds between retries)
+- **Session resume:** If the WebSocket drops briefly, the channel uses QQ's `RESUME` opcode to restore the session without losing in-flight messages
+- **Cross-server context continuation:** Chat sessions and routing state are persisted to disk. If the daemon restarts, conversations continue from where they left off
+- **Heartbeat monitoring:** HEARTBEAT_ACK timeouts are detected and force a reconnection to avoid zombie connections
+- **Message deduplication:** Replayed messages after a reconnect are detected and skipped
+
+## Tips
+
+- **Use Markdown freely** — Unlike WeChat, QQ renders Markdown natively. Bold, code blocks, lists, and links all work.
+- **Keep responses under 2000 characters** — Longer responses are automatically split into chunks. Adding a length hint to your instructions helps the agent stay concise.
+- **Sandbox for testing** — Set `"sandbox": true` to use the sandbox API during development. No production messages will be affected.
+- **Restrict access** — Use `senderPolicy: "allowlist"` for a fixed set of QQ users, or `"pairing"` to approve new users from the CLI. See [DM Pairing](./overview#dm-pairing) for details.
+
+## Key Differences from Telegram
+
+| Area             | QQ Bot                                      | Telegram                                      |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| Authentication   | QR code login or AppID/AppSecret            | Static bot token from BotFather               |
+| Markdown         | Native QQ Markdown with plaintext fallback  | HTML-formatted from agent Markdown            |
+| Token lifecycle  | 2h TTL, auto-refresh at 80%                 | Permanent bot token                           |
+| Group messages   | Only @mention messages are delivered to bot | Bot sees all messages (with privacy mode off) |
+| Typing indicator | Not available (QQ API limitation)           | "Working..." message                          |
+| Sandbox mode     | Supported for testing                       | Not available                                 |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Bot doesn't respond
+
+- Check the terminal output for errors
+- Verify the channel is running (`qwen channel status`)
+- If using `senderPolicy: "allowlist"`, make sure your QQ user ID is in `allowedUsers`
+- On first start, a QR code will appear in the terminal — scan it with your QQ app
+
+### Bot doesn't respond in groups
+
+- Check that `groupPolicy` is set to `"allowlist"` or `"open"` (default is `"disabled"`)
+- **You must @mention the bot** — QQ only delivers messages that tag the bot
+- Verify the bot has been added to the group
+
+### QR code login is stuck
+
+- The QR code is displayed in the terminal. Scan it with your QQ mobile app (Me → Scan)
+- If the QR code expires (typically after a few minutes), restart the channel to get a new one
+
+### Markdown messages appear as plain text
+
+- The QQ server may have rejected the Markdown message and the channel silently fell back to plain text. Check the terminal for `"Markdown rejected"` log messages
+- This is unusual on the QQ Bot Open Platform but can happen if the bot's Markdown capability is restricted server-side
+
+### Token expired after long downtime
+
+- If the channel is offline for more than 2 hours, the access token will have expired. The channel fetches a fresh token on reconnect — no action needed
+- If the AppSecret itself is invalid (e.g., rotated in the developer portal), update the `appSecret` field or delete `~/.qwen/channels/-credentials.json` to re-trigger QR code login

-# Checkpointing
-
-Qwen Code includes a Checkpointing feature that automatically saves a snapshot of your project's state before any file modifications are made by AI-powered tools. This allows you to safely experiment with and apply code changes, knowing you can instantly revert back to the state before the tool was run.
-
-## How It Works
-
-When you approve a tool that modifies the file system (like `write_file` or `edit`), the CLI automatically creates a "checkpoint." This checkpoint includes:
-
-1.  **A Git Snapshot:** A commit is made in a special, shadow Git repository located in your home directory (`~/.qwen/history/`). This snapshot captures the complete state of your project files at that moment. It does **not** interfere with your own project's Git repository.
-2.  **Conversation History:** The entire conversation you've had with the agent up to that point is saved.
-3.  **The Tool Call:** The specific tool call that was about to be executed is also stored.
-
-If you want to undo the change or simply go back, you can use the `/restore` command. Restoring a checkpoint will:
-
-- Revert all files in your project to the state captured in the snapshot.
-- Restore the conversation history in the CLI.
-- Re-propose the original tool call, allowing you to run it again, modify it, or simply ignore it.
-
-All checkpoint data, including the Git snapshot and conversation history, is stored locally on your machine. The Git snapshot is stored in the shadow repository while the conversation history and tool calls are saved in a JSON file in your project's temporary directory, typically located at `~/.qwen/tmp//checkpoints`.
-
-## Enabling the Feature
-
-The Checkpointing feature is disabled by default. To enable it, you can either use a command-line flag or edit your `settings.json` file.
-
-### Using the Command-Line Flag
-
-You can enable checkpointing for the current session by using the `--checkpointing` flag when starting Qwen Code:
-
-```bash
-qwen --checkpointing
-```
-
-### Using the `settings.json` File
-
-To enable checkpointing by default for all sessions, you need to edit your `settings.json` file.
-
-Add the following key to your `settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "general": {
-    "checkpointing": {
-      "enabled": true
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Using the `/restore` Command
-
-Once enabled, checkpoints are created automatically. To manage them, you use the `/restore` command.
-
-### List Available Checkpoints
-
-To see a list of all saved checkpoints for the current project, simply run:
-
-```
-/restore
-```
-
-The CLI will display a list of available checkpoint files. These file names are typically composed of a timestamp, the name of the file being modified, and the name of the tool that was about to be run (e.g., `2025-06-22T10-00-00_000Z-my-file.txt-write_file`).
-
-### Restore a Specific Checkpoint
-
-To restore your project to a specific checkpoint, use the checkpoint file from the list:
-
-```
-/restore 
-```
-
-For example:
-
-```
-/restore 2025-06-22T10-00-00_000Z-my-file.txt-write_file
-```
-
-After running the command, your files and conversation will be immediately restored to the state they were in when the checkpoint was created, and the original tool prompt will reappear.

 The fast model is used for prompt suggestions and speculative execution. When not configured, the main conversation model is used as fallback.
 
+> **Cost note:** A fast model lowers latency, but it does not always lower cost. Suggestion generation reuses your conversation's prefix cache (via `ui.enableCacheSharing`, on by default) — but a prefix cache is per-model. Pointing `fastModel` at a different model forks to a separate cache, so the whole conversation history is re-billed as uncached input on the fast model. On long conversations, the default (main model + shared cache) can be **cheaper** than a fast model, since most of the history is billed at the discounted cached rate. Set `fastModel` when latency matters more than per-turn cost.

+## Using MCP prompts and resources
+
+Besides tools, Qwen Code discovers and surfaces two other MCP primitives.
+
+### Prompts (slash commands)
+
+Any prompt a server advertises via `prompts/list` becomes an executable
+**slash command**. After discovery, type `/` and you'll see the prompt
+listed (labeled `MCP: `); run it like any other command:
+
+```text
+/my_prompt --arg1="value" --arg2="value"
+# positional form also works:
+/my_prompt "value" "value"
+# show the prompt's arguments:
+/my_prompt help
+```
+
+The prompt's messages are sent to the model, which then acts on them.
+
+> Discovery is lenient about the declared `prompts` capability: some
+> servers implement `prompts/list` but omit `prompts` from their
+> `initialize` capabilities. Qwen Code attempts `prompts/list` anyway, so
+> those prompts still appear. A server that genuinely has no prompts simply
+> answers `Method not found`, which is ignored.
+
+### Resources
+
+Resources a server advertises via `resources/list` are discovered per
+server. Open the management dialog with `/mcp` and select a server to see
+its **Resources** count alongside its tools and prompts. Choose **View
+resources** to browse the server's resource URIs; selecting one shows its
+description and MIME type along with the exact `@server:uri` reference to
+paste into a message. As with prompts, the `resources` capability is not
+required to be declared.
+
+Inject a resource's contents into your message with the `@server:uri`
+syntax — type `@`, then the server name, a colon, and the resource URI:
+
+```text
+summarize @myserver:file:///docs/spec.md and list the open questions
+```
+
+Typing `@myserver:` shows an autocomplete list of that server's resources;
+keep typing to filter, matching (case-insensitively) either the resource URI
+or its friendly name/title. You don't have to know a URI by heart — before
+you reach the colon, typing part of a server name also suggests matching
+servers that expose resources, so you can pick one and drill straight into
+its resource list. On submit, the referenced resource is read and its contents are
+appended to your message (text inline, binary blobs as attachments); the

+#### Claude Code Compatibility Fields
+
+Qwen Code accepts the Claude Code 2.1.168 frontmatter fields below so you
+can drop a CC agent file into `.qwen/agents/` and have the supported fields
+parse identically. Optional fields with invalid values are silently dropped
+at parse time rather than rejected — the same lenient posture CC uses.
+

+| `color`          | enum string      | Display color. Allowlist: `red`, `blue`, `green`, `yellow`, `purple`, `orange`, `pink`, `cyan` (mirrors CC's `_Y`). The legacy qwen sentinel `auto` is preserved for backward compatibility. Other values are silently dropped on parse.                                         |
+| `mcpServers`     | record of specs  | Per-agent MCP server overrides. Merged with the session-level MCP server set when the agent spawns; on key collision the agent's spec wins (matching CC's `scope: 'agent'` semantics). Malformed entries are dropped per-key with a warning rather than failing the whole agent. |
+| `hooks`          | record of arrays | Per-agent hooks. Keys are CC hook event names (`PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, `UserPromptSubmit`, …); values are arrays of `{ matcher?, hooks: [...] }` definitions in the same shape as `settings.json`'s `hooks` field. Registered while the agent runs, removed when it stops.  |

+The remaining CC frontmatter fields — `effort`, `skills`, `initialPrompt`,
+`memory`, `isolation` — are documented in the declarative-agent design doc
+and land in follow-up PRs once the prerequisite infrastructure exists
+(`effort` needs a model-layer parameter; `memory` needs a scoped memory
+subsystem; `--agent` CLI flag enables `initialPrompt`; etc.).

+# Local launch templates for `qwen serve` (v0.16-alpha)
+
+Reference templates for running `qwen serve` as a long-lived background process on a developer workstation. Pairs with the [v0.16-alpha known limits](./qwen-serve.md#v016-alpha-known-limits) — local-only, single-user, BYO bearer token. Containerized / multi-host / TLS-fronted deployments defer to v0.16.x.
+
+> **Audience**: dogfooding developers who want the daemon up across reboots, with logs going somewhere durable, and a clean `restart-on-failure` story. If you only need the daemon for the duration of a single shell session, plain `qwen serve` (foreground, Ctrl-C to stop) is fine.
+
+## Generate a bearer token (once)
+
+```bash
+openssl rand -hex 32 > ~/.qwen-serve-token  # user-managed, NOT a built-in path
+chmod 600 ~/.qwen-serve-token
+export QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN="$(cat ~/.qwen-serve-token)"
+```
+
+The path / filename is yours to choose; v0.16-alpha does not auto-generate or auto-locate a token file (deferred to v0.16.x). See the [Authentication](./qwen-serve.md#authentication) section of the user guide for the canonical BYO setup.
+
+> **Scope this `export` to the current shell session only.** Don't add it to `~/.bashrc` / `~/.zshrc` — a profile-level export exposes the bearer token to every process spawned from that shell (IDE subprocesses, browser debuggers, `npm` scripts from unrelated projects). For long-running setups, use the systemd `EnvironmentFile=` / launchd `EnvironmentVariables` mechanisms below — both scope the token to just the daemon process.
+
+The daemon reads the bearer token from either `--token ` on the CLI or the `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN` env var (whitespace stripped from both). The TypeScript SDK's `DaemonClient` constructor falls back to `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN` when no `token` option is passed (PR 27 fallback — clients with the env var set never need to thread the value through their script).
+
+One shell-level `export` covers both server boot and SDK client construction (just keep it scoped to the session, per the note above).
+
+## Linux: systemd user unit
+
+> **Find your `qwen` binary first.** The unit file's `ExecStart=` must hold an **absolute path** — service managers don't read your shell's `PATH`. Run `which qwen` to discover it. Common locations: `/usr/local/bin/qwen` (Linuxbrew, manual installs), `~/.nvm/versions/node/vX.Y.Z/bin/qwen` (nvm), `~/.fnm/aliases/default/bin/qwen` (fnm), `~/.volta/bin/qwen` (Volta). Substitute the actual path everywhere the templates below show `/PATH/TO/qwen`.
+
+`~/.config/systemd/user/qwen-serve.service`:
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Qwen Code daemon (loopback HTTP + SSE)
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+# Replace with your project; %h expands to $HOME under user units.
+WorkingDirectory=%h/your-project
+# Run `which qwen` to find the absolute path. systemd does NOT read $PATH.
+ExecStart=/PATH/TO/qwen serve --hostname 127.0.0.1 --port 4170
+# Read the bearer token from a chmod 600 file rather than inlining it
+# in the unit. `Environment=` would expose the token in the unit file
+# (typically 644 = world-readable). EnvironmentFile keeps the token in
+# the user-owned secret file you already created with `chmod 600`.
+EnvironmentFile=%h/.qwen-serve-token-env
+Restart=on-failure
+RestartSec=5
+StandardOutput=journal
+StandardError=journal
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=default.target
+```
+
+Build the env file once (the token file from the setup step holds the raw value; this wraps it in `KEY=value` form so systemd reads it as an env assignment):
+
+```bash
+echo "QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN=$(cat ~/.qwen-serve-token)" > ~/.qwen-serve-token-env
+chmod 600 ~/.qwen-serve-token-env
+```
+
+Manage:
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+systemctl --user enable --now qwen-serve.service
+loginctl enable-linger "$(whoami)"               # keep the user manager running after logout / across reboot
+journalctl --user -u qwen-serve -f               # tail logs
+systemctl --user restart qwen-serve.service     # after token rotation
+systemctl --user disable --now qwen-serve.service
+```
+
+Without `loginctl enable-linger`, the user-level systemd instance shuts down when the user logs out and only restarts on next login — on a headless dev box the daemon would not survive an SSH session ending. `enable-linger` is what makes "across reboots" actually work.
+
+**System-wide alternative** (shared dev hosts, less common): drop the unit at `/etc/systemd/system/qwen-serve@.service` with `User=%i`, manage via `sudo systemctl enable --now qwen-serve@.service`. Same `[Service]` body otherwise — but world-readable `Environment=` exposure is even more problematic at this level, so always use `EnvironmentFile=` pointing at the user's `chmod 600` file. Pick user-level + linger for single-user workstations.
+
+## macOS: launchd user agent
+
+> **Find your `qwen` binary first.** Same constraint as systemd — `ProgramArguments` must hold an **absolute path**. Run `which qwen` to discover it. Common locations on macOS: `/opt/homebrew/bin/qwen` (Homebrew on Apple Silicon), `/usr/local/bin/qwen` (Homebrew on Intel, manual installs), `~/.nvm/versions/node/vX.Y.Z/bin/qwen` (nvm), `~/.volta/bin/qwen` (Volta). Substitute below where the template shows `/PATH/TO/qwen`.

+chmod 600 ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.qwenlm.qwen-serve.plist             # plist holds the inline token
+launchctl load   ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.qwenlm.qwen-serve.plist
+launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.qwenlm.qwen-serve.plist      # to stop
+tail -f ~/Library/Logs/qwen-serve/out.log ~/Library/Logs/qwen-serve/err.log
+```
+
+After editing the plist (e.g., rotating the token) you must `unload` then `load` again — `launchctl` does not auto-reload on plist changes the way `systemd daemon-reload` does. Note: each `load` truncates the log files, so save them off if you're investigating an incident before rotating.
+
+## tmux session (interactive supervision)
+
+Assumes `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN` is already exported in your shell (see the setup section above):
+
+```bash
+tmux new -d -s qwen-serve "cd ~/your-project && qwen serve --hostname 127.0.0.1"
+tmux attach -t qwen-serve   # see live logs; Ctrl-b d to detach
+tmux kill-session -t qwen-serve
+```
+
+`tmux new -d` inherits the parent shell's environment, so `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN` flows through automatically. Best when you want to occasionally watch the daemon's stdout (auth warnings, MCP discovery progress, slow-client warnings) without committing to a service unit. Survives terminal close but not host reboot.
+
+## nohup one-liner (quick + dirty)
+
+Assumes `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN` is already exported in your shell:
+
+```bash
+nohup bash -c 'cd ~/your-project && qwen serve --hostname 127.0.0.1' > qwen-serve.log 2>&1 &
+echo $!  # daemon PID; capture if you want to `kill` cleanly later
+```
+
+The wrapping `bash -c '...'` ensures the daemon binds to `~/your-project` rather than wherever you happened to run the command. Without that `cd`, `qwen serve` defaults to `process.cwd()` and a `POST /session` from a client expecting your project workspace returns `400 workspace_mismatch` — silent foot-gun.
+
+OK for one-off "let me run this in the background while I poke at the API" workflows. **Not recommended** for anything beyond a single session — no restart-on-crash, log file grows unbounded, no clean way to find the daemon if you forget the PID. Prefer tmux for interactive supervision or systemd / launchd for anything you want to outlast a reboot.
+
+## Verifying the daemon is up
+
+```bash
+curl http://127.0.0.1:4170/health                                   # → {"status":"ok"}
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN" \
+  http://127.0.0.1:4170/capabilities | jq .protocolVersions         # daemon's feature set
+```
+
+When auth is configured (i.e., the daemon was started with `--token` / `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN` set, OR `--require-auth=true`), every route except `/health` on loopback binds requires `Authorization: Bearer `. If you started the daemon without a token on the loopback default (the `qwen serve` zero-config path), neither call requires a header. The templates above all configure a token, so the `Authorization` header is needed in practice. If `/capabilities` returns `401`, the unit / plist token doesn't match the env-exported token your `curl` is using.
+
+## Token rotation
+
+1. Generate a new token + write the env file the unit references:
+   ```bash
+   openssl rand -hex 32 > ~/.qwen-serve-token
+   chmod 600 ~/.qwen-serve-token
+   echo "QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN=$(cat ~/.qwen-serve-token)" > ~/.qwen-serve-token-env
+   chmod 600 ~/.qwen-serve-token-env
+   ```
+   (For the launchd / nohup / tmux templates: edit the plist's `` value or re-`export QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN`. Don't forget `chmod 600` on the plist if you regenerate it.)
+2. Restart the daemon:
+   - **systemd**: `systemctl --user restart qwen-serve.service`
+   - **launchd**: `launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.qwenlm.qwen-serve.plist && launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.qwenlm.qwen-serve.plist`
+   - **tmux / nohup**: `kill ` then re-run with the new token in env
+3. Update any client SDKs / scripts. The TypeScript SDK's `DaemonClient` reads `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN` automatically (PR 27 fallback) — re-`export` the new value in any client shell and reconstruct the client.
+
+## Restart and crash behavior
+
+Service-manager restart semantics differ across the templates:
+
+- **systemd `Restart=on-failure`** — restart only on non-zero exit / signal. A clean SIGTERM (`systemctl stop`) does **not** trigger a restart loop.
+- **launchd `KeepAlive` with `SuccessfulExit=false`** (the template above) — matches systemd behavior. A bare `` would have respawned even after a clean exit. `ThrottleInterval=10` rate-limits restart storms on persistent failures, mirroring systemd's `RestartSec=5`.
+- **tmux / nohup** — no automatic restart. A daemon crash leaves you with a dead PID until you re-run.
+
+Within a **single daemon process lifetime**, client disconnects recover via SSE `Last-Event-ID` resume per the [Durability model](./qwen-serve.md#durability-model) section of the user guide — the replay ring is in-memory.
+
+A daemon **restart** drops all in-memory sessions; clients reconnect and start fresh. Cross-restart durability of session content (prompts, tool calls, conversation history) is **NOT** in v0.16-alpha.
+
+## Out of scope (defers to v0.16.x or later)
+
+- **Containerized deployment** — Dockerfile, docker-compose, Kubernetes manifests, nginx + TLS reverse proxy, multi-instance token isolation. Defers to v0.16.x once an enterprise pilot is committed; the doc would otherwise rot from no-one-validating.
+- **Cross-host federation / multi-daemon coordination on one host** — `1 daemon = 1 workspace × N sessions` is enforced. Instance-path token keying + stale-token cleanup defer to v0.16.x.
+- **Auto-generated daemon tokens** — alpha is BYO-token. Auto-gen + token-store infrastructure defers to v0.16.x.
+- **Windows native service** (`nssm`, Service Control Manager wrapper) — for now use [WSL2](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/) and follow the systemd section above.

 ## What it gives you
 
+- **Built-in Web Shell UI** — `qwen serve` serves the browser-based Web Shell at its root (`http://127.0.0.1:4170/`) out of the box; run `qwen serve --open` to launch it in your browser automatically. It is served on the same origin as the API, so no second port or reverse proxy is needed. Pass `--no-web` for an API-only daemon.
 - **One agent process, many clients** — under the default `sessionScope: 'single'`, every client connecting to the daemon shares one ACP session. Live cross-client collaboration on the same conversation, the same file diffs, the same permission prompts.
 - **Reconnect-safe streaming** — SSE with `Last-Event-ID` reconnect lets a client drop and pick up exactly where it left off (within the ring's replay window).
 - **First-responder permissions** — when the agent asks for permission to run a tool, every connected client sees the request; whichever client answers first wins.
 - **One daemon, one workspace** — each `qwen serve` process binds to exactly one workspace at boot (per [#3803](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/issues/3803) §02). Multi-workspace deployments run one daemon per workspace on separate ports (or behind an orchestrator).
-- **Remote runtime control** ([#4175](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/issues/4175) PR 17) — change a session's approval mode (`POST /session/:id/approval-mode`), toggle a tool per workspace (`POST /workspace/tools/:name/enable`), scaffold an empty `QWEN.md` (`POST /workspace/init`, mechanical only — does NOT call the model; for AI-fill, follow up with `POST /session/:id/prompt`), or restart a single MCP server with a budget pre-check (`POST /workspace/mcp/:server/restart`). All four are strict-gated — configure `--token` first.
+- **Remote runtime control** ([#4175](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/issues/4175) PR 17) — change a session's approval mode (`POST /session/:id/approval-mode`), toggle a tool per workspace (`POST /workspace/tools/:name/enable`), scaffold an empty `QWEN.md` (`POST /workspace/init`, mechanical only — does NOT call the model; for AI-fill, follow up with `POST /session/:id/prompt`), restart a single MCP server with a budget pre-check (`POST /workspace/mcp/:server/restart`), or add/remove MCP servers at runtime without a daemon restart (`POST /workspace/mcp/servers`, `DELETE /workspace/mcp/servers/:name`). All strict-gated — configure `--token` first.
+- **Session recap** ([#4175](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/issues/4175) follow-up) — fetch a one-sentence "where did I leave off" summary of an active session (`POST /session/:id/recap`). Wraps core's `generateSessionRecap` as a side-query against the fast model; pollutes neither the main chat history nor the SSE stream. Non-strict gate (same posture as `/prompt`); SDK helper `client.recapSession(sessionId)`.
+  - **Known limit — token-cost amplification:** the route is a pure-cost endpoint (each call is an LLM side-query, no state benefit) and the daemon has no per-route rate limit in v1. On a no-token loopback default a buggy or malicious local client can spam it to burn tokens. Configure `--token` (and optionally `--require-auth`) on shared dev hosts before exposing the daemon.
+  - **Concurrent recap safety:** two simultaneous `/recap` calls on the same session run two independent side-queries. `generateSessionRecap` reads a snapshot of the chat history via `GeminiClient.getChat().getHistory()` and feeds it to a separate `BaseLlmClient.generateText` call (via `runSideQuery`); it never appends to or mutates the session's `GeminiChat`. Safe to call from multiple clients without coordination.
+
+## v0.16-alpha known limits
+
+The first npm release of `qwen serve` (v0.16-alpha) is intentionally narrow — text-only chat / coding for developers running the daemon on their own machine. The list below makes the deferred surface explicit so adopters can plan around it; everything here is on the v0.16.x patch roadmap or a near-term follow-up release.
+
+**Product surface — text-only:**
+
+- ✅ Text prompts and text responses (chat, coding, tool calls, MCP integration)
+- ❌ **Image / file attachments on the prompt path** — `MessageEmitter` currently only renders text; multimodal echo lands when an alpha target with image needs is committed (#4175 chiga0 #27 P0 item)
+- ❌ **Streaming uploads** — same gating as multimodal
+
+**Deployment surface — local-only:**
+
+- ✅ Loopback (`127.0.0.1`, default) — no auth required, suitable for dev workstations
+- ✅ Local launch via `systemd` / `launchd` / `nohup &` / `tmux` — see [Local launch templates](./qwen-serve-deploy-local.md)
+- ✅ Bring-your-own bearer token via `QWEN_SERVER_TOKEN` env var ([Authentication](#authentication) for setup)
+- ❌ **Containerized deployment** — Docker / Compose / Kubernetes / nginx reverse-proxy with TLS termination NOT in v0.16-alpha. Defers to v0.16.x once an enterprise pilot is committed (would otherwise rot from no-one-validating).
+- ❌ **Multi-daemon coordination on one host** — `1 daemon = 1 workspace × N sessions` is enforced. Cross-host federation, instance-path token keying, and stale-token cleanup defer to v0.16.x.
+- ❌ **Auto-generated daemon tokens** — alpha is BYO-token (one `openssl rand -hex 32` away). Auto-gen + token-store infrastructure defers to v0.16.x.
+
+**Hardening — minimum viable for local single-user:**
+
+- ✅ Boot-time security gate (refuses non-loopback bind without a token, [PR 15 / #4236](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/pull/4236))
+- ✅ Mutation-route auth gate, session-scoped permission routing (Wave 4 PRs)
+- ✅ MCP guardrails + multi-client permission coordination (F2 / F3)
+- ✅ **Prompt absolute deadline + SSE writer idle timeout** — opt-in via `--prompt-deadline-ms` and `--writer-idle-timeout-ms`; advertised through `prompt_absolute_deadline` and `writer_idle_timeout` when enabled.
+- ✅ **HTTP rate limiting** — opt-in via `--rate-limit` and per-tier thresholds; advertised through `rate_limit` when enabled.
+- ⏸️ **Prometheus metrics + load test harness** — defers to v0.17 F4 Phase-1 scale instrumentation when 30-50 active sessions becomes a real target.
+- ⏸️ **`--max-body-size` CLI flag** — daemon enforces `express.json({ limit: '10mb' })` by default which comfortably covers text-only prompts (model context windows are well under 10 MiB of chars). Tunable via flag in v0.16.x.

 The `data:` line is the **full event envelope** — `{id?, v, type, data, originatorClientId?}` — JSON-stringified on a single line. The ACP payload (the `sessionUpdate` block in this example) sits under `data` inside that envelope. The SSE-level `id:` / `event:` lines are convenience for EventSource clients; the same values appear inside the JSON envelope so raw-`fetch` consumers get them too.

For multi-workspace deployments, run one `qwen serve` per workspace on separate ports.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
-| `--max-connections `   | `256`           | Listener-level TCP connection cap (`server.maxConnections`). Bounds raw socket count irrespective of session count — slow / phantom SSE clients get rejected at accept time once full. Raise alongside `--max-sessions` if your deployment expects many SSE subscribers per session.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
-| `--event-ring-size `   | `8000`          | Per-session SSE replay ring depth (#3803 §02 target). Sets the backlog available to `GET /session/:id/events` with `Last-Event-ID: N`. Larger = more reconnect headroom at the cost of a few hundred KB extra RAM per session. SDK clients can additionally request a larger per-subscriber backlog cap on a specific subscription via `?maxQueued=N` (range `[16, 2048]`, default 256). Daemons also emit a non-terminal `slow_client_warning` SSE frame at 75% queue fill so clients can drain / reconnect before getting evicted. Pre-flight `caps.features.slow_client_warning`. |

Combine with `--mcp-budget-mode`. When unset, no accounting-driven enforcement (but `GET /workspace/mcp` still reports `clientCount`). Distinct from claude-code's `MCP_SERVER_CONNECTION_BATCH_SIZE` which gates startup concurrency, not the total client count. Pre-flight `caps.features.mcp_guardrails`.                                                                 |
-| `--mcp-budget-mode `   | `warn` / `off`  | How `--mcp-client-budget` is enforced. `warn` (default when budget set): no refusal, snapshot's `budgets[0].status` flips to `warning` at ≥75% of budget. `enforce`: connects past the cap are refused, per-server cell shows `disabledReason: 'budget'`, deterministic by `mcpServers` declaration order. `off` (default when budget unset): pure observability. Boot rejects `enforce` without a budget.                                                                                                                                                                           |

Each value is `*` (any origin — boot refuses if no bearer token is configured; `--require-auth` on loopback is recommended so `/health` and `/demo` are also bearer-gated, since both are pre-auth on loopback by default) or a canonical URL origin (`://[:]`, no trailing slash / path / userinfo / query). **Subdomain wildcards (`https://*.example.com`) are intentionally unsupported** — list each subdomain explicitly, or use `*` with a configured token (and `--require-auth` for full hardening). Matched origins receive CORS response headers (`Access-Control-Allow-Origin`, `Vary: Origin`, methods, headers, max-age, and exposed `Retry-After`); unmatched origins still get a 403 with the same envelope as today's wall. `Origin: null` (sandboxed iframes, file:// docs) is always rejected, even under `*`. Pre-flight via `caps.features.allow_origin`. Loopback self-origin hits are unaffected. |

+# Writing Companion
+
+This extension turns Qwen Code into a thoughtful writing companion. Keep the
+following guidance in mind whenever this extension is active.
+
+## Voice
+
+- Be warm, clear, and concise. Prefer plain language over jargon.
+- Preserve the user's own voice and intent — improve their words, don't replace
+  them with your own style.
+- Offer choices rather than dictating a single "correct" rewrite.
+
+## Available capabilities
+
+- **`/writing:polish `** — proofread and tighten a passage while keeping
+  its meaning and tone.
+- **The `synonyms` skill** — suggest alternative words and phrasings with notes
+  on nuance and formality.
+- **The `diary-writer` subagent** — expand brief notes into a full journal
+  entry. Reach for it when the user wants reflective, longer-form writing.
+- **The `count_words` MCP tool** — count the words and characters in a passage
+  when the user asks about length or wants to hit a target.
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- When asked to "make it shorter", cut filler and redundancy first; flag any
+  meaning you would lose.
+- When suggesting synonyms or rewrites, briefly explain _why_ one option fits
+  better than another.
+- Treat the user's drafts as private and confidential.

+# Starter Extension Example
+
+A complete, end-to-end Qwen Code extension that demonstrates **every** building
+block in a single package, themed around a small "writing companion". Use it as
+a starting point when you want a relatively complete scaffold instead of an
+empty extension.
+
+```
+starter/
+├── qwen-extension.json        # Manifest: name, version, context file, MCP servers
+├── QWEN.md                    # Context: persistent instructions for the model
+├── agents/
+│   └── diary.md               # Subagent: a focused diary-writing assistant
+├── commands/
+│   └── writing/
+│       └── polish.md          # Custom command: /writing:polish
+├── skills/
+│   └── synonyms/
+│       └── SKILL.md           # Skill: generate synonyms on demand

+├── package.json               # Build config for the MCP server
+└── tsconfig.json
+```
+
+## What each piece does
+
+| Capability | Where               | How it shows up                                          |
+| ---------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Context    | `QWEN.md`           | Persistent instructions injected into every session.     |
+| Subagent   | `agents/diary.md`   | Available via `/agents manage`.                          |
+| Command    | `commands/writing/` | Invoked as `/writing:polish `.                     |
+| Skill      | `skills/synonyms/`  | Auto-activated via `/skills` when relevant.              |
+| MCP server | `example.ts`        | Exposes a `count_words` tool and a `poem-writer` prompt. |
+
+## Building the MCP server
+
+The MCP server is written in TypeScript and must be compiled before it can run.
+From the extension directory:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run build   # emits dist/example.js, which qwen-extension.json points at
+```
+
+The other capabilities (context, agents, commands, skills) work without any
+build step.
+
+## Trying it out
+
+```bash
+qwen extensions link /path/to/starter   # link this directory for local testing
+```
+
+Then restart Qwen Code. The context loads automatically, `/writing:polish` and
+`/skills` become available, the `diary-writer` subagent appears under
+`/agents manage`, and (once built) the MCP `count_words` tool is callable.
+
+See the [Getting Started with Extensions](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/blob/main/docs/users/extension/getting-started-extensions.md)
+guide for a deeper walkthrough.

+description: Generate synonyms for words or phrases. Use this skill when the user needs alternative words with similar meanings, wants to expand vocabulary, or seeks varied expressions for writing.
+license: Complete terms in LICENSE.txt
+---
+
+This skill helps generate synonyms and alternative expressions for given words or phrases. It provides contextually appropriate alternatives to enhance vocabulary and improve writing variety.
+
+The user provides a word, phrase, or sentence where they need synonym suggestions. They may specify the context, tone, or formality level desired.
+
+## Synonym Generation Guidelines
+
+When generating synonyms, consider:
+
+- **Context**: The specific domain or situation where the word will be used
+- **Tone**: Formal, informal, neutral, academic, conversational, etc.
+- **Nuance**: Subtle differences in meaning between similar words
+- **Register**: Appropriate level of formality for the intended audience
+
+## Output Format
+
+For each input word or phrase, provide:
+
+1. **Direct Synonyms**: Words with nearly identical meanings
+2. **Related Alternatives**: Words with similar but slightly different connotations
+3. **Context Examples**: Brief usage examples when helpful
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Prioritize commonly used synonyms over obscure alternatives
+- Note any subtle differences in meaning or usage
+- Consider regional variations when relevant
+- Indicate formality levels (formal/informal/neutral)
+- Provide multiple options to give users choices
+
+## Example
+
+**Input**: "happy"
+
+**Synonyms**:
+
+- **Direct**: joyful, cheerful, delighted, pleased, content
+- **Informal**: thrilled, stoked, over the moon
+- **Formal**: elated, gratified, blissful
+- **Subtle variations**:
+  - _content_ - peaceful satisfaction
+  - _ecstatic_ - intense, overwhelming happiness
+  - _cheerful_ - outwardly expressing happiness

+/**
+ * Normalize a raw `tools.disabled` settings array into the canonical
+ * deduplicated list the agent / restart paths share.
+ *
+ * Boot path (`cli/src/config/config.ts`'s `disabledTools` array
+ * construction) and MCP restart refresh path
+ * (`cli/src/acp-integration/acpAgent.ts` post-`restartMcpServer`
+ * settings refresh) must agree byte-for-byte on what counts as
+ * "disabled" — without that agreement, `ToolRegistry.has(tool.name)`
+ * exact-match check silently re-registers tools whose disabled-name
+ * carries whitespace (e.g., `' Foo '` typed in settings.json by hand).
+ *
+ * Lifted from inline implementations so boot path and MCP restart
+ * refresh path share a single implementation.
+ *
+ * Behavior contract:
+ *
+ *   1. Non-array `raw` (object / number / boolean / null / undefined)
+ *      → return `[]`.
+ *   2. Non-string entries inside the array → skipped individually
+ *      (does NOT abort the whole list — e.g., `[42, 'Foo', null]` → `['Foo']`).
+ *   3. Each string entry is `.trim()`-ed.
+ *   4. Empty-after-trim entries (`''`, `'  '`, `'\n'`, `'\t'`) → skipped.
+ *   5. Duplicates de-duped, preserving first-occurrence order.
+ *      Downstream callers materialize the result to `Set`
+ *      so order is only meaningful for diagnostic output today,
+ *      but this helper preserves it for any future order-sensitive
+ *      consumer.
+ *
+ * The helper does NOT case-fold (e.g., `'Foo'` vs `'foo'` remain
+ * distinct) — Stage 1 tool names are case-sensitive throughout
+ * `ToolRegistry`, so case-folding here would silently break tool
+ * lookups elsewhere. Unicode normalization (`String.prototype.normalize`)
+ * is similarly out of scope; if a user pastes a combining-form vs
+ * precomposed-form variant they want collapsed, that's a separate
+ * decision tracked under workspace settings UX.

+ * Stage 1 HTTP→ACP bridge — backward-compat re-export shim.
+ *
+ * #4175 PR F1 lifted the bridge core (`BridgeClient`,
+ * `defaultSpawnChannelFactory`, `createAcpSessionBridge` factory closure,
+ * plus the supporting types/errors/options/status) to
+ * `@qwen-code/acp-bridge`. This shim preserves the CLI-local bridge import
+ * surface so `server.ts`, `run-qwen-serve.ts`, `workspace-agents.ts`,
+ * `workspace-memory.ts`, `index.ts`, plus the bridge test suite, keep resolving
+ * through one module.
+ *
+ * The implementation now lives at:
+ *   - `@qwen-code/acp-bridge/bridge` — `createAcpSessionBridge` factory
+ *   - `@qwen-code/acp-bridge/bridgeClient` — `BridgeClient` class +
+ *     permission record types
+ *   - `@qwen-code/acp-bridge/spawnChannel` — `defaultSpawnChannelFactory`
+ *   - `@qwen-code/acp-bridge/bridgeOptions` — `BridgeOptions` +
+ *     `DaemonStatusProvider` interfaces
+ *   - `@qwen-code/acp-bridge/bridgeTypes` — bridge session + heartbeat
+ *     types + `AcpSessionBridge` interface
+ *   - `@qwen-code/acp-bridge/bridgeErrors` — typed bridge error classes
+ *   - `@qwen-code/acp-bridge/workspacePaths` — `canonicalizeWorkspace`
+ *     + `MAX_WORKSPACE_PATH_LENGTH`
+ *   - `@qwen-code/acp-bridge/status` — protocol-versioned status types
+ *     + idle envelope helpers
+ *   - `@qwen-code/acp-bridge/channel` — `AcpChannel` + `ChannelFactory`
+ *
+ * The bridge is bound to a single canonical workspace
+ * (`BridgeOptions.boundWorkspace`); multi-workspace deployments use
+ * multiple daemon processes. See the module docstring on `bridge.ts`
+ * in the lifted package for the full Stage 1/Stage 2 contract.
