chore(release): bump version to 1.6.7

refactor(workspace): drop the page header, move Add lane and Tools onto the lanes
The title and the four counters said a second time what the lane strip already shows lane by lane (liveness dot, ⚠ marker), so they only cost a row of height on a screen whose point is the terminal. `GET /api/lanes` still returns `counts` for other callers. Add lane becomes the strip's FIRST tile — creating a lane is the same kind of act as picking one — and the per-lane Tools menu (agents install / mcp sync / sync-base check) moves onto the lane-detail header row beside the pipeline picker and the Model select, next to the lane it acts on.

-# Superpowers Workspace
-
-This directory contains project-specific configuration and artifacts for the Superpowers workflow.
-
-It acts as the working memory layer for agent-driven development, enabling structured planning, execution, and iteration across sessions.
-
---
-
-## Purpose
-
-Superpowers transforms coding agents into structured, process-driven collaborators. Instead of jumping straight into code, the agent:
-
-1. Clarifies intent
-2. Produces a design
-3. Breaks work into executable steps
-4. Executes via subagents
-5. Verifies and iterates
-
-This directory stores the outputs of that workflow so progress is persistent, inspectable, and reproducible.
-
---
-
-## Directory Structure
-
-Typical contents may include:
-
-```
-.superpowers/
-├── brainstorm/        # Design explorations and refined specs
-├── plans/             # Task breakdowns and execution plans
-├── reviews/           # Code review outputs and feedback
-├── runs/              # Execution logs or agent traces
-└── README.md          # This file
-```
-
-> Exact structure may evolve depending on which skills are triggered.
-
---
-
-## Workflow Overview
-
-Superpowers operates through automatic skill activation:
-
-### 1. Brainstorming
-
-* Refines vague ideas into concrete specs
-* Explores alternatives
-* Produces structured, reviewable design docs
-
-### 2. Planning
-
-* Converts approved designs into granular tasks
-* Each task is:
-
-  * Small (2–5 min)
-  * Explicit (exact file paths + code)
-  * Verifiable
-
-### 3. Execution
-
-* Tasks are executed by subagents
-* Includes:
-
-  * Spec compliance checks
-  * Code quality review
-* Can run sequentially or in parallel
-
-### 4. Verification
-
-* Enforces test-first development (TDD)
-* Ensures correctness before completion
-* Prevents silent regressions
-
-### 5. Completion
-
-* Validates final state
-* Offers merge / PR / discard options
-* Cleans up working branches
-
---
-
-## Key Principles
-
-* **Test-first development** (RED → GREEN → REFACTOR)
-* **Small, deterministic tasks**
-* **Explicit over implicit**
-* **Process over intuition**
-* **Verification over assumption**
-
---
-
-## How to Use
-
-You don’t interact with this directory directly most of the time.
-
-Instead:
-
-* Start a task in your coding agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
-* Let Superpowers skills activate automatically
-* Review outputs when prompted (designs, plans, reviews)
-
-Artifacts will be written here as the workflow progresses.
-
---
-
-## When to Look Here
-
-Check this directory when you want to:
-
-* Review the current plan
-* Inspect prior design decisions
-* Debug agent behavior
-* Resume interrupted work
-* Audit what was executed
-
---
-
-## Notes
-
-* Files here are **source-of-truth for agent state**
-* Safe to commit (recommended for team workflows)
-* Avoid manual edits unless you understand the workflow implications
-
---
-
-## Related
-
-* Project root `CLAUDE.md` → global agent context
-* `.claude/` → rules, skills, and subagents
-* Superpowers upstream docs →

Surfaces: skills (`<root>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`), subagents (`<root>/agents/*.md`), slash commands (`<root>/commands/*.md`), output styles (`<root>/output-styles/*.md`), plugins (`<CLAUDE_HOME>/plugins/installed_plugins.json` joined with `enabledPlugins` in settings + per-plugin `contributes` counts **and** `contributes.items`, which names every skill / subagent / command / output style the plugin ships — each surface read from the conventional install subdirectory *and* from whatever path `plugin.json` declares for that key, with declared paths outside the plugin's own install dir dropped by `isUnder()`, so a plugin that lists its commands explicitly and keeps `commands/` empty no longer reports zero + `plugin.json` metadata), marketplaces (`known_marketplaces.json` enriched with each `marketplace.json`), MCP servers (top-level + per-project from `~/.claude.json`), hooks (across user / project / project-local settings.json), keybindings (`<CLAUDE_HOME>/keybindings.json`), statusline config + `statusline.py` / `statusline-command.sh` content, hook scripts dir (`<CLAUDE_HOME>/hooks/`), settings (with secret-key redaction matching `/token\|secret\|password\|api[_-]?key\|auth/i`), memory (`CLAUDE.md` at user + project **plus** the per-project file-based auto-memory store — every `*.md` under `~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/`, returned as `scope:"auto-memory"` items carrying `project`, `name`, `isIndex`, and parsed `frontmatter`, so a `MEMORY.md` index and one file per remembered fact, often 100+, all surface). Path containment via `isUnder()` — every read must resolve under CLAUDE_HOME, project `.claude/`, or be a project CLAUDE.md. 256 KB read cap. Minimal YAML frontmatter parser handles `key: value` + quoted strings + indented continuation lines |
 | `lib/cc-mutate.js`        | Create / overwrite / delete for the **low-risk text-file surfaces only** (skills, subagents, slash commands, output styles, memory — including the per-project file-based auto-memory store, mutated via `scope: "auto-memory"`, `type: "auto-memory"`, `project`, `name`, with its backups landing in `<memory-dir>/.cc-config-backups/auto-memory/`), plus `writeKeybindings()` for the structured `keybindings.json` editor (read-modify-write that preserves top-level metadata, rejects duplicate contexts/keys, and backs up to `<CLAUDE_HOME>/cc-config-backups/keybindings/`). Plugins, MCP, hooks-in-settings, and `settings.json` files are NEVER written from here — they have concurrent-write races with the live Claude Code CLI. Every mutation creates a timestamped backup at `<root>/cc-config-backups/<type>/<base>.<ISO>.bak[.dir]` BEFORE the change — backups land outside the directories Claude Code scans, so a deleted skill cannot resurface as a backup-named one. Writes are atomic: temp file in same dir → fsync → `renameSync`. Tmp removed on every failure path. Skill dirs are backed up whole (preserving bundled assets) before recursive removal. Strict `name` regex (`^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]{0,63}$`), 256 KB content cap, double-checked path containment via `isUnder()` |

Read endpoints for every surface (skills, agents, commands, output-styles, plugins, marketplaces, mcp, hooks, hook-scripts, keybindings, statusline, settings, memory, file, overview), plus mutation endpoints (`PUT /file`, `DELETE /file`, and a structured `PUT /keybindings`) that delegate to `cc-mutate.js`, plus a `GET /backups` listing for the recovery modal, plus the auth-profile routes (`GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /profiles`, `POST /profiles/activate`) that delegate to `cc-profiles.js`. After every successful PUT/DELETE the route broadcasts `cc_config_changed` over the WebSocket so any open `/cc-config` tab refetches without polling. All errors return structured `{error: {code, message}}` shapes mapped to 400/404/413/500 statuses |
+| `lib/cc-reload.js`        | Types `/reload-plugins` / `/reload-skills` into the Claude Code sessions the dashboard already has open, over `tmux send-keys` (reusing `tmux.js`'s `sendText`). Both slash commands are scoped BY CLAUDE CODE to the session that runs them, so a session cannot be reloaded from the outside and no background process can do it on a session's behalf — typing into a live pane is the only real mechanism. Deliberately spawns NO `claude` process: a one-shot `claude -p "/reload-plugins"` would reload only its own short-lived session, exit, and leave a junk session in the dashboard's history, so this module creates no sessions at all. Skips panes sitting at a shell prompt (the text would run as a shell command) and addresses `claude` lanes only, since Codex has no such command. Sends to a busy pane on purpose — tmux queues the keystrokes into the REPL's input buffer, so a late reload still lands, where skipping busy panes would leave exactly the sessions in active use running stale code. The command set is a fixed constant, never caller-supplied: a pane's stdin is an arbitrary-code boundary. Never throws |
+| `lib/cc-update-all.js`    | Starts and reports on the "Update all" batch, whose work lives in the detached `scripts/cc-update-all-helper.js`. Detached for a structural reason: the batch ends with the plugin THIS dashboard runs from, and that step's `plugin-bootstrap.js --force` SIGTERMs this very server, so an in-process loop would die with the remaining plugins unrun and nothing left to report. Order is marketplaces → every other plugin → AgentHub last → one reload. The worker journals every step transition to `cc-update-all.json` under the runtime dir — outside the plugin cache the update replaces — so whichever server is alive can serve progress from it; the POST's response is only an acknowledgement. `readUpdateAll()` DERIVES an `abandoned` status for a `running` journal older than `STALE_MS` (1 h), because a detached worker killed by a reboot leaves nobody to write the terminal entry and the button would otherwise stay wedged forever. `isRunning()` gates a concurrent batch, since two `claude plugin update` chains over one config dir race |
+| `routes/cc-config.js`     | HTTP surface for the Claude Config Explorer. Read endpoints for every surface (skills, agents, commands, output-styles, plugins, marketplaces, mcp, hooks, hook-scripts, keybindings, statusline, settings, memory, file, overview), plus mutation endpoints (`PUT /file`, `DELETE /file`, and a structured `PUT /keybindings`) that delegate to `cc-mutate.js`, plus a `GET /backups` listing for the recovery modal, plus the auth-profile routes (`GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /profiles`, `POST /profiles/activate`) that delegate to `cc-profiles.js`, plus the install-wide update surface: `GET/POST /plugins/update-all` (a DETACHED batch — every marketplace, then every plugin, then a reload, with THIS dashboard's own plugin last because its bootstrap restarts the server; progress is polled from an on-disk journal, never from the POST's response) and `POST /reload` (types `/reload-plugins`+`/reload-skills` into the live lane panes; see `cc-reload.js`). After every successful PUT/DELETE the route broadcasts `cc_config_changed` over the WebSocket so any open `/cc-config` tab refetches without polling. All errors return structured `{error: {code, message}}` shapes mapped to 400/404/413/500 statuses |
 | `lib/cc-profiles.js`      | Named Claude Code **auth profiles** — swap which Anthropic account (and therefore which quota) the local `claude` CLI runs as. A profile is exactly two identity artifacts: `claudeAiOauth` out of `<CLAUDE_HOME>/.credentials.json`, and `oauthAccount` + `userID` out of the `.claude.json` config file(s) (`<CLAUDE_HOME>.json` and `<CLAUDE_HOME>/.claude.json`, each key-merged in place and only when it already exists, so `projects`/`numStartups`/everything else survives). Skills, subagents, commands, memory, plugins, marketplaces, MCP servers and settings are never read or written here — that is what makes a switch keep the whole workspace and change only the account; `mcpOAuth` stays put too (machine MCP tokens, not account identity). Stored one JSON file per profile under `<CLAUDE_HOME>/agenthub-profiles/` (dir `0700`, files `0600`), holding live OAuth tokens, so **no route ever returns token material** — `listProfiles()` answers identity metadata only. A profile carries two names: `name`, the filename and the id every route takes, and `label`, the free-form display name (spaces and diacritics fine, since it never touches a path) that `renameProfile()` edits in place without moving the file. One account is one profile — `saveProfile()` refuses `EDUPLICATE` rather than making a second copy, because duplicates both report themselves active, and `deleteProfile()` blocks only the LAST copy of the live account so a duplicate stays cleanable. Cannot mint credentials (only `claude auth login` can): a new profile is captured by logging in, then snapshotting. `activateProfile()` re-snapshots the outgoing account first so refreshed tokens are not lost, and refuses (`EUNSAVED`) to switch away from an account that was never saved — that would discard the only copy of its credentials. Atomic temp + rename at `0600` |
 | `lib/cc-watcher.js`       | Best-effort `fs.watch` over `~/.claude/` (recursive where the platform / Node version honors it — macOS / Windows always; Linux from Node 20) plus `~/.claude.json`. Coalesces bursts at 500 ms and broadcasts `cc_config_changed` with `{ source: "fs", paths: [...] }` so the Config Explorer picks up changes from external tools (CLI installs a plugin, manual `settings.json` edits, dropping a new skill) without a manual refresh. Started from `server/index.js` after the HTTP server boots; failures are caught and logged so a flaky watcher can't take the server down |
 | `lib/codex-discovery.js`  | Read-only discovery of the Codex CLI's file-backed config surfaces for the Codex Config panel — the Codex counterpart of `cc-discovery.js`. Surfaces: skills (`<root>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`), agents (`<root>/agents/*.toml`), rules (`<root>/rules/*`), memory (`AGENTS.md` at user `~/.codex` + project root), config (`config.toml` at user + project `.codex/`). No filesystem watcher counterpart to `cc-watcher.js` exists for Codex. `readFileSafe()` re-validates path containment (leaf/ancestor symlink-escape guard) independent of the write side's own check. Codex's scope union is `"user"` \| `"project"` only — it has no `"project-local"` settings layer and no per-project file-based auto-memory store |

 | `lib/tmux.js`             | Wrapper around tmux CLI for session management. `createSession(sessionName, cwd)` creates a new tmux session in the specified working directory. `sendCommand(sessionName, command)` sends a command into the session. `killSession(sessionName)` terminates the session. `listSessions()` returns all active sessions.

Every spawn also mirrors itself into `dashboard_runs` (cwd, model, prompt preview, `resume_session_id`, lane id, start time) — that row is the ONLY source `publicRun` has for those fields, since the handle itself is recomputed from tmux on every read, so a dropped insert renders as a live run with no cwd, model or start date. `mode` is NOT NULL in that table and `recordRun` swallows insert errors by design, which is why this module passes a literal `"interactive"` rather than null. **Create-or-adopt has one refusal:** a pane already running an agent is adopted silently only when the request asked for nothing but a pane — a `resumeSessionId` or an initial prompt cannot be typed over a live agent, so it throws `ERUNLIVE` (409) rather than reporting a resume that never spawned |

When `DASHBOARD_TOKEN` is configured it is **also** required on these routes (same as the rest of `/api/*`). `GET /api/run` lists all live runs (computed fresh from tmux state via `tmux list-sessions`). `GET /api/run/tmux` reports whether `tmux` is installed and on PATH (required for the feature to work). `GET /api/run/binary` probes whether `claude` is on `PATH`. `GET /api/run/cwds` suggests cwds (dashboard + home + recent from sessions table). `GET /api/run/history?laneId=...` returns persisted run history, optionally scoped to one lane. `GET /api/run/files?cwd=&q=` powers the Workspace page's `@`-file autocomplete: scoped fuzzy search inside `cwd` skipping `node_modules`, `.git`, `dist`, `build`, `.next`, `.cache`, `coverage`, `vendor`, etc., capped result count, ranked by basename match. `POST /api/run` requires `laneId` in the body and starts/attaches a tmux-backed run. `GET /api/run/:id` returns the run handle. `DELETE /api/run/:id` kills the tmux session (sends SIGTERM to the pane, escalates to SIGKILL after 5 s). The PTY frames are streamed to the client over `/ws-pty/:runId` as binary frames (not JSON), rendering a real interactive terminal in xterm.js on the Workspace page. `tmux` must be installed on the dashboard server's machine (same as better-sqlite3's native-module requirements) |
 | `routes/lanes.js`         | Durable-lane API. `POST /api/lanes/worktree`, `PATCH /api/lanes/:id`, destructive actions, and `DELETE /api/lanes/:id` use the Run route's same-origin guard. Worktree provisioning validates an absolute source git repository, persists a managed lane as `provisioning`, returns `202`, then uses the per-lane lock to resolve the base and add the worktree. Completion broadcasts the existing `lane_update` payload as `idle`; a git failure leaves a row that the non-destructive delete route can forget. `GET /api/lanes/:id/preflight?action=reset\|remove\|purge` produces counted confirmation facts. Confirmed `POST /:id/{reset,remove,purge}` actions require a complete `expect`, run under the same lock, kill a recorded run and wait for the spawner's actual child-exit timestamp (or return `500 ERUNTIMEOUT` before git), clear `run_id`, reject changed facts with `409 ESTALE` including expected/current diagnostics, and require `force` for unpushed managed reset/remove work. Reset and managed removal call the worktree's independent managed-kind, realpath-within-`LANES_ROOT`, and listed-worktree guard; adopted reset is refused, while adopted remove only forgets its row and never modifies its directory, and a managed lane whose directory was deleted by hand takes a prune path that still enforces the managed-kind and inside-`LANES_ROOT` checks. `start` returns `409 ERUNLIVE` rather than overwriting a live `run_id` and orphaning its child. `kind`, `source_repo`, `slug`, `base_branch`, `slot` and `ports` are not patchable — provisioning writes them through `lanesLib.setProvisioningFacts`. Worktree provisioning also runs `lane-runtime.js:provisionLane` (A2) when the repo declares a `.agenthub/profile` — seed `.env`, `bootstrap`, create the database, migrate, seed — before the lane reports `idle`; `reset`/`remove` likewise call `resetLaneData`/`removeLaneData`, with `reset` accepting a body `keepDb: true` to skip the whole drop-recreate-migrate-reseed block. The runtime routes (`GET /:id/runtime`, `POST /:id/up`, `POST /:id/down`, `POST /:id/hook/:name`, `GET /:id/logs/:svc`) are registered **before** the `/:id/:action` catch-all so `up`/`down` are not swallowed as unknown actions, and are deliberately kept out of it: that catch-all drives a lane's Claude run, these drive the application the lane is working on. `GET /api/lanes/pipeline-stats` aggregates per-node pass counts over every lane and every archived feature. |

 ## Update Notifier Subsystem

-The Update Notifier is a **detection-only** subsystem that tells the user when the dashboard's git checkout is behind its tracked upstream branch. It never mutates the checkout or restarts the server — those actions are intentionally left to the user in a terminal, because a process cannot reliably replace itself without an external supervisor.
+The Update Notifier tells the user when a newer **release** of the dashboard has been published, and — on an ordinary git checkout that can be fast-forwarded — can apply it on one click.
+
+The version signal is the forge's own release list, read over REST at `/api/v1/repos/<owner>/<repo>/releases/latest` (no hardcoded host, no credentials for a public repo). The owner and repo come from one of **two** sources, chosen by install kind: a checkout derives them from its `origin` remote; a plugin-cache install derives them from the marketplace manifest on disk (`pluginMarketplaceUrl`), because it has no remote to read — and often no `.git` at all, since a marketplace entry with `"source": "url"` (this project's own) makes Claude Code unpack an archive rather than clone. The published tag is compared against this install's `package.json` version. When no release can be read — a non-HTTP remote, an offline machine, a repo with no releases — detection falls back to the original commit count against the canonical default branch and puts the reason in `release_check`, so "up to date" never means "we couldn't look".
+
+Two states the release model makes visible that a commit count cannot:
+
+- **`dev_build`** — the install is strictly ahead of the newest release and missing nothing from it. It is a build off the branch, not a shipped version, and the Sidebar says so instead of "Up to date".
+- **`plugin_managed`** — the install runs from `~/.claude/plugins/cache/`. Claude Code owns that directory and replaces it wholesale, so `applyUpdate` will not rewrite it: it refuses with `reason: "plugin_managed"`, decided from the path before any status lookup so the refusal holds offline too. A self-pull would leave a cache directory whose name (a commit sha) no longer matched its contents. **This branch is evaluated before the `.git` probe, and must stay there.** An archive-sourced cache directory is not a clone, so a `.git` check reached first answers "not a git clone; check manually" and skips the release layer entirely — which is exactly what 1.5.1 shipped: `update_available` pinned false however many releases were published, `plugin_marketplace`/`plugin_name` never set, so `/apply`'s plugin branch could never fire and its 409 claimed nothing newer was published. It reads as "up to date", so it stays invisible while the install happens to be current. **The button still works here**, by a different route: `POST /api/updates/apply` catches that refusal and hands the job to the detached chain in `server/lib/plugin-update.js` — `claude plugin marketplace update <mkt>` → `claude plugin update <plugin>@<mkt> -y` → `plugin-bootstrap.js --force` **from the new cache directory**, which stops this server and starts the new one. It answers `200 {applied:true, mode:"plugin"}`. The one thing no background process can do is `/reload-plugins`: that is a REPL action scoped to the session that runs it, so an already-open Claude Code session still needs it for new skills/commands/hooks. The dashboard does not, because `plugin-bootstrap.js` derives `PLUGIN_ROOT` from its own `__dirname` rather than from `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`.
+
+A **shallow clone** (`--depth`) is the third special case, and the plugin cache is one: history is grafted, so every commit-distance number is a graft artefact rather than a distance. All `commits_*_release` fields are `null` there and `dev_build` is never asserted; the version string is the only signal used.

Runs every git call via `execFile` (no shell, 10s–120s timeouts). **Branch- and fork-aware:** prefers `upstream` over `origin` when both exist (standard fork convention), resolves `<remote>/master`/`/main`/`/HEAD`, reads the current branch and its tracked upstream, and shapes `manual_command` per situation: `git pull --ff-only` only when the local branch tracks the canonical ref; `git fetch <remote> && git merge --ff-only <ref>` for forks (local branch name matches canonical but tracks a different remote); `git fetch <remote>` only on a feature branch or detached HEAD. Non-git installs, missing remotes, fetch failures, and unresolvable upstream refs are returned as soft payloads — never throws.

+| **`server/lib/update-check.js`** | `getUpdatesStatus(root?, { skipFetch?, latestRelease? })` + `applyUpdate(root?)`. Runs every git call via `execFile` (no shell, 10s–120s timeouts) and reads the newest release over `fetch` with an `AbortSignal.timeout` — `fetchLatestRelease` NEVER throws, resolving to `{ok:false, reason}` (`no_remote`, `remote_not_http`, `no_releases`, `unreachable`, `bad_payload`, `http_<status>`) so a status poll degrades instead of erroring. `releaseApiUrl` derives the endpoint from a repository URL (https, scp-style and `ssh://` forms) and returns null for anything not owner/repo shaped, which is what keeps local-path remotes off the network entirely. `fetchLatestRelease` finds that URL via the `origin` remote; `fetchReleaseFromUrl` takes one directly, which is how the **git-free plugin path** works: `pluginMarketplaceUrl(mkt, plugin)` reads `known_marketplaces.json` → the marketplace's `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` → the entry's `source.url`, returning null (never a guessed host) for a `github` `owner/repo` shorthand and never throwing. **Order matters:** `detectPluginInstall` runs FIRST in `getUpdatesStatus`, ahead of the `.git` probe — a plugin cache unpacked from an archive has no `.git`, and probing first is the 1.5.1 bug that made `update_available` permanently false. `compareVersions` orders numeric triples and strips a leading `v`, since this repo carries both `v1.5.0` and `1.4.6`. `isShallowClone` gates every commit-distance calculation; `detectPluginInstall` reads the marketplace and plugin name out of the cache path. **Branch- and fork-aware** as before: resolves `<remote>/master`/`/main`/`/HEAD`, reads the current branch and its tracked upstream, and shapes `manual_command` per situation — the `claude plugin ...` commands for `plugin_managed`; `git fetch <remote> --tags && git merge --ff-only <tag>` for `release_available`; `git pull --ff-only` when the branch tracks the canonical ref; `git fetch <remote> && git merge --ff-only <ref>` for forks; `git fetch <remote>` only on a feature branch or detached HEAD. Non-git installs, missing remotes, fetch failures, and unresolvable upstream refs are returned as soft payloads — never throws. |
 | **`server/update-scheduler.js`** | Ticks the lib every `DASHBOARD_UPDATE_CHECK_INTERVAL_MS` (default 300 000, floor 60 000). First tick is scheduled 8s after server start with `.unref()` so it doesn't block shutdown. Broadcasts only when the fingerprint `{update_available, remote_sha, commits_behind, fetch_error, manual_command}` changes — `manual_command` is included so situation transitions (e.g. user switches branches, or adds an `upstream` remote) trigger a re-broadcast even when the SHA and commit count are unchanged. Emits a framed message to stdout on "up-to-date → behind" transitions, and only suggests "restart the dashboard" when the printed command actually rewrites the working tree. `DASHBOARD_UPDATE_CHECK=0\|false\|off` disables the scheduler entirely. |
-| **`server/routes/updates.js`** | Two endpoints: `GET /status` (read-only check), `POST /check` (check + broadcast). Mounted under `/api/*`, so they ride the default loopback bind as their trust boundary and are gated by `DASHBOARD_TOKEN` when one is set. There is **no** `POST /apply` route. |
-| **`UpdateNotifier.tsx`** | Modal. Hydrates from `api.updates.status()` on mount and mirrors the payload back into the local `eventBus` so the Sidebar can listen without a second git fetch. Subscribes to `update_status` WS frames for ongoing sync. Keeps `dismissedSha` in `localStorage` (`agent-monitor-update-dismissed-sha`) and in React state; a window event `dashboard:reset-update-dismissal` from the Sidebar clears both. ESC / backdrop click dismisses. |
-| **`Sidebar.tsx`** | Always-visible "Check for updates" button in the footer. Subscribes to `update_status` (no own fetch).

+| **`server/routes/updates.js`** | Three endpoints: `GET /status` (read-only check), `POST /check` (check + broadcast), `POST /apply`. `/apply` has **two modes**, chosen by how this copy was installed, never by the request body: **checkout** — fast-forward onto the release tag, `npm run setup`, `npm run build` in production, then `scheduleRestart()`; **plugin** — `applyUpdate`'s `plugin_managed` refusal is caught and `schedulePluginUpdate()` runs instead, answering `200 {applied:true, mode:"plugin"}`. The plugin branch fires only when there is genuinely something to pull (`update_available` plus a marketplace and plugin name parsed from the cache path) — a `plugin_managed` refusal with nothing newer published stays a 409 rather than spawning a chain that would stop the server for nothing. Otherwise 409 `UPDATE_NOT_APPLICABLE` with `reason` `"up_to_date"`, `"not_fast_forwardable"`, or `"plugin_managed"`. Both modes write the response BEFORE anything stops the process. Mounted under `/api/*`, so all three ride the default loopback bind as their trust boundary and are gated by `DASHBOARD_TOKEN` when one is set. |
+| **`server/lib/plugin-update.js`** + **`scripts/plugin-update-helper.js`** | The plugin-cache update chain. The lib only spawns the helper detached (cwd = the runtime dir, **not** the plugin root, which is about to be superseded) and clears any previous verdict first so a stale success can't be read back as this run's result. All work is in the helper because its last step SIGTERMs the server that asked for the update — the same split as `self-restart.js`, one step further. The helper re-validates the marketplace and plugin names against `/^[A-Za-z0-9][\w.-]*$/` (they reach an argv across a process boundary), resolves `claude` on PATH or at `~/.local/bin/claude` (a hook-spawned server does not inherit the login shell's PATH), picks the newest cache directory that isn't the old root and does contain `scripts/plugin-bootstrap.js`, and records **every** outcome — including an unexpected throw — to `plugin-update.json` under `~/.claude/agenthub/runtime/`, outside the cache so it survives the swap. Steps: `validate`, `resolve_claude`, `marketplace_update`, `plugin_update`, `already_current` (`ok:true`; nothing was pulled and the old server was left running), `bootstrap`, `done`. `readLastPluginUpdate()` surfaces it as `last_plugin_update` on the status payload — without it a failed chain is indistinguishable from a slow one. |
+| **`UpdateNotifier.tsx`** | Modal. Hydrates from `api.updates.status()` on mount and mirrors the payload back into the local `eventBus` so the Sidebar can listen without a second git fetch. Subscribes to `update_status` WS frames for ongoing sync. Keeps the dismissal key in `localStorage` (`agent-monitor-update-dismissed-sha`) and in React state — the **release tag** when one was read, else the upstream SHA, so a newer release re-opens the prompt while a dismissed one stays dismissed; a window event `dashboard:reset-update-dismissal` from the Sidebar clears both. ESC / backdrop click dismisses. |

+The same shape is used by `GET /status`, `POST /check`, and the `update_status` WS message. `POST /apply` returns it plus `applied: boolean`; in plugin mode it also carries `mode: "plugin"` and `runtime_dir`, and on a 409 a `reason` of `"up_to_date"`, `"not_fast_forwardable"`, or `"plugin_managed"`. `update_available` and `dev_build` are never both true.

 ### Failure Mode Matrix

 | Condition | Returned payload | User-visible effect |

-| Not a git clone | `{git_repo:false, update_available:false, message:"Install directory is not a git clone..."}` | Modal suppressed (`update_available` false). Sidebar stays neutral. |
+| Not a git clone (and not a plugin cache) | `{git_repo:false, update_available:false, message:"Install directory is not a git clone..."}` | Modal suppressed (`update_available` false). Sidebar stays neutral. |
+| Plugin cache with no `.git` (archive-sourced marketplace entry) | `{git_repo:false, install_kind:"plugin", release_check:"ok", latest_release:"vX.Y.Z", update_available:<version compare>}` | Checked normally: the repo URL comes from the marketplace manifest and `package.json` is the only local signal. The `notGit` note is suppressed and **Update now** is offered. |
 | No remotes configured | `{git_repo:true, update_available:false, message:"No git remotes configured..."}` | Same as above. |
 | `git fetch` failed (offline, auth) | `{git_repo:true, update_available:false, canonical_remote, fetch_error:"<stderr>"}` | Sidebar button goes amber; modal stays suppressed until a successful check. |
 | Canonical default branch unresolvable | `{git_repo:true, update_available:false, canonical_remote, message:"Could not resolve <remote>/master..."}` | Modal suppressed. |
 | Healthy, up to date | `{git_repo:true, update_available:false, commits_behind:0, situation:"tracking_canonical"\|...}` | Sidebar neutral, modal suppressed. |
+| Release lookup failed (offline, non-HTTP remote, no releases) | `{release_check:"unreachable"\|"remote_not_http"\|"no_releases"\|..., latest_release:null}` | Detection falls back to the commit count; the modal states the reason so "up to date" is not read as "release checked". |
+| Ahead of the newest release | `{update_available:false, dev_build:true, commits_ahead_of_release:N}` | Sidebar reads `Dev build · N ahead`; modal suppressed (a dev build is not an available update). |
+| Shallow clone (incl. the plugin cache) | `{shallow_clone:true, commits_behind_release:null, commits_ahead_of_release:null, dev_build:false}` | No commit badge is rendered at all — the numbers would be graft artefacts. Version compare still decides `update_available`. |
+| Newer release, ordinary checkout | `{update_available:true, situation:"release_available", latest_release:"vX.Y.Z", manual_command:"...git fetch origin --tags && git merge --ff-only vX.Y.Z..."}` | Modal opens titled with the release version, links its notes, and shows **Update now**. |
+| Newer release, plugin-cache install | `{update_available:true, situation:"plugin_managed", install_kind:"plugin", plugin_marketplace:"sg", plugin_name:"agenthub", manual_command:"claude plugin marketplace update sg && ..."}` | Modal opens WITH **Update now**; `POST /apply` answers `200 {applied:true, mode:"plugin"}` and the detached chain pulls the new version and re-bootstraps. The modal notes that an already-open Claude Code session still needs `/reload-plugins` for new skills/commands. |
+| Plugin chain ran but nothing was published | `{last_plugin_update:{ok:true, step:"already_current"}}` | The old server keeps running, untouched; no restart, no error banner. |
+| Plugin chain mid-handover | `{last_plugin_update:{ok:true, step:"bootstrap", note:"the new plugin version is installed; the server is being handed over"}}` | Written BEFORE the handover on purpose: that step retires the process tree the helper hangs off, and a helper killed there would otherwise leave `last_plugin_update: null` for an update that succeeded. Overwritten by `done` when the helper survives. |
+| Plugin chain failed (no `claude` on PATH, `npm ci` broke, bootstrap died) | `{last_plugin_update:{ok:false, step:"resolve_claude"\|"plugin_update"\|"bootstrap", error:"..."}}` | Danger banner in the modal naming the failed step. A `bootstrap` failure means the old server was already stopped, so the verdict says to run `/agenthub-update` to recover — and it is read back by whichever server comes up next, because it lives outside the cache. |
+| Plugin `/apply` with nothing newer published | 409 `{reason:"plugin_managed", release_check:"ok"}` | No chain is spawned. Message names the newest release and points at `/agenthub-update` to force a refresh. |
+| Plugin `/apply` after a failed release check | 409 `{reason:"plugin_managed", release_check:"unreachable"\|"no_local_version"\|...}` | No chain is spawned, and the message says the check did not succeed rather than claiming nothing newer exists — an unknown reported as a negative is how a broken check looks identical to an up-to-date install. |
 | Healthy, behind, on canonical branch | `{update_available:true, situation:"tracking_canonical", manual_command:"...git pull --ff-only..."}` | Modal opens with `git pull` flow + restart hint. |
 | Healthy, behind, fork (origin = fork, upstream = canonical) | `{update_available:true, situation:"fork_or_diverged_tracking", manual_command:"...git fetch upstream && git merge --ff-only upstream/master..."}` | Modal opens with merge flow + restart hint + `situation_note` explaining the divergence. |
 | Healthy, behind, on a feature branch | `{update_available:true, situation:"feature_branch", manual_command:"...git fetch <remote>"}` | Modal opens; `situation_note` explains the user is off the canonical branch; restart hint suppressed because the working tree isn't being changed. |

-### Why Detection-Only
+### Why Self-Apply Stays Narrow

-The dashboard does not expose an apply/restart endpoint by design. A process cannot reliably replace itself without an external supervisor, and several real constraints make an in-process self-update path strictly worse than letting the user run two commands in a terminal:
+`POST /api/updates/apply` is the one path in this dashboard that mutates its own working tree and restarts the process. It is deliberately narrow: in checkout mode it acts only on `release_available`, `tracking_canonical`, and `fork_or_diverged_tracking`, always with `--ff-only`, and refuses outright on a feature branch or a detached HEAD. A `plugin_managed` install is not a git operation at all — it is delegated to `claude plugin update`, whose own tooling owns that directory. Everywhere else the dashboard prints a command and lets the user run it, because the constraints below are real and an automatic path cannot answer them:

- **Supervisor ambiguity.** `npm run dev` (concurrently), `npm start`, `pm2`, `systemd`, `launchd`, and Docker each need different restart logic; an in-process helper could only encode one of them and would silently mis-restart the rest.
+- **Supervisor ambiguity.** `npm run dev` (concurrently), `npm start`, `pm2`, `systemd`, and `launchd` each need different restart logic; an in-process helper could only encode one of them and would silently mis-restart the rest.
 - **Silent failures.** `npm install` / `npm run build` / port-release timing issues surface as a dead server with no user-facing feedback once the original process has exited.
 - **No rollback.** A partial pull + install leaves a broken checkout with no atomic recovery — the working tree is mutated mid-flight.
- **Branch coverage.** Even with the situation-aware `manual_command` produced by the detection layer, an automatic apply would still need branch-aware integration (rebase vs merge vs switch) and merge-conflict handling. That belongs in the user's shell, not in a background daemon.
+- **Branch coverage.** A feature branch or detached HEAD would need branch-aware integration (rebase vs merge vs switch) and merge-conflict handling. That belongs in the user's shell, not in a background daemon — which is why those situations get a printed `git fetch` and no button.
+- **Ownership.** A plugin-cache install is not ours to rewrite by hand — its directory names are content hashes Claude Code manages. So that case does not fast-forward anything; it calls `claude plugin update` and then re-runs `plugin-bootstrap.js` from the directory that tool produced. The residual limit is only `/reload-plugins`, which is REPL-scoped: an interactive session keeps its old skills/commands until the user reloads, even though the dashboard server has already moved.

-The detection layer carries all of the signal value: the dashboard tells the user *when* to update and *exactly what to run*; the user owns the *how* in their own shell.
+What `--ff-only` buys is the absence of the first three problems inside the supported cases: the move is either a clean fast-forward or it aborts, `npm run setup`/`build` failures reject the request before any restart is scheduled, and the restart itself goes through `self-restart.js` + the detached `scripts/restart-helper.js` rather than an in-process guess at the supervisor.

-## VS Code Extension Architecture
-
-The **AgentHub** VS Code extension provides an integrated monitoring experience directly within the editor. It communicates with the local dashboard server via standard HTTP APIs and renders the dashboard UI in a webview.
-
-<p align="center">
-  <img src="vscode-extension/vscode.png" alt="VS Code Extension Screenshot" width="100%">
-</p>
-
-### Extension Components
-
-| Component | Responsibility |
-| --- | --- |
-| **Extension Host** (`extension.js`) | Manages the extension lifecycle, registers commands, creates the status bar item, and coordinates the webview panel. |
-| **Sidebar Provider** (`sidebar.js`) | Implements the `TreeDataProvider` for the Activity Bar. It performs background polling of the dashboard APIs (`/api/stats`, `/api/analytics`, `/api/sessions`) every 5 seconds. |
-| **Status Bar Item** | Provides a persistent "Pulse" indicator in the VS Code status bar, showing active session and agent counts. |
-| **Webview Panel** | A native VS Code tab that renders the dashboard React application. It supports deep linking to specific sessions or sub-pages. |

-```
-
-### Key Implementation Details
-
-1. **Auto-Detection**: The extension checks both port `5173` (Vite dev server) and `4820` (Production server) on `localhost`. It prioritizes the production port for API data but can render the UI from either.
-2. **Real-time Status**: The `SidebarProvider` uses a background loop with `onDidChangeTreeData` to automatically toggle between **Online** and **Offline** states as the local server starts or stops.
-3. **Deep Linking**: Commands like `claude-code-agent-monitor.openDashboard` accept arguments (e.g., a session ID or page path like `analytics`) to route the webview to specific views within the React SPA.
-4. **Theme Awareness**: The Activity Bar icon (`icon.svg` or `apple-touch-icon.png`) and sidebar icons use VS Code's `ThemeIcon` and `ThemeColor` to ensure they adapt to Light, Dark, and High Contrast themes.
-
-For the extension source code, refer to the [vscode-extension/](./vscode-extension/) directory.

-
-> [!NOTE]
-> **Hook note:** Claude Code hooks run on the host, not inside the container. The containerized server still receives hook events via HTTP on `localhost:4820` — run `npm run install-hooks` on the host after the container is up. `scripts/install-hooks.js` detects container execution and refuses there (issue #193) so it cannot write a container-internal handler path into a bind-mounted host `~/.claude`; the containerized server's boot-time auto-install is skipped for the same reason. Override with `AGENTHUB_ALLOW_CONTAINER_HOOKS=1` only when Claude Code itself runs inside the container.

-### Integration
-
-The statusline is configured in `~/.claude/settings.json` via the `statusLine` key:
-
-```json
-{
-  "statusLine": {
-    "type": "command",
-    "command": "bash \"/path/to/.claude/statusline-command.sh\""
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Claude Code invokes this command on each update, piping a JSON payload to stdin. The script reads the JSON, extracts fields, runs `git` for branch info, and prints ANSI-formatted output to stdout.
-
-**Design decisions:**
-
- **Python 3.6+** -- available on virtually all systems, handles ANSI and JSON natively
- **No dependencies** -- uses only stdlib (`sys`, `json`, `os`, `subprocess`)
- **Shell wrapper** -- `statusline-command.sh` sets `PYTHONUTF8=1` for Windows Unicode support and resolves the absolute path to the Python script
- **Fail-safe** -- exits silently on empty input or JSON parse errors, never blocks Claude Code

 ## Project mission
 - Maintain a reliable local-first dashboard for Claude Code session monitoring.
 - Preserve real-time behavior (hooks -> API -> SQLite -> WebSocket -> UI).

 ## Repo map
- `server/`: Express API, hook ingestion, SQLite access, websocket broadcast (includes optional git upstream checks and `routes/updates.js`, plus `lib/workflow-ingest.js` which ingests on-disk Workflow-tool run journals — fleets that emit no hooks — and `lib/codex-ingest.js`, the same idea for `codex` lanes: it tails Codex's own rollout journals because Codex emits no hooks at all).
+- `server/`: Express API, hook ingestion, SQLite access, websocket broadcast (includes release-based update detection — `lib/update-check.js` reads the repo's own releases API and `routes/updates.js` exposes status/check/apply, refusing to self-update a `~/.claude/plugins/cache/` install, plus `lib/workflow-ingest.js` which ingests on-disk Workflow-tool run journals — fleets that emit no hooks — and `lib/codex-ingest.js`, the same idea for `codex` lanes: it tails Codex's own rollout journals because Codex emits no hooks at all).
 - `client/`: React + Vite UI.
- `scripts/`: hook installer/handler, import, seed, cleanup utilities. (Update detection lives server-side in `server/lib/update-check.js`. `POST /api/updates/apply` (only when the checkout is fast-forwardable) pulls, rebuilds, and self-restarts via `server/lib/self-restart.js` + the detached `scripts/restart-helper.js`; otherwise users run the printed manual command, surfaced in the UI and by `agenthub update-check`.)
+- `scripts/`: hook installer/handler, import, seed, cleanup utilities. (Update detection lives server-side in `server/lib/update-check.js`, keyed on the forge's **newest release** rather than a commit count. `POST /api/updates/apply` has two modes and picks by install kind, never from the request: a fast-forwardable **checkout** merges the release tag `--ff-only`, rebuilds, and self-restarts via `server/lib/self-restart.js` + the detached `scripts/restart-helper.js`; a **plugin-cache** install is handed to `server/lib/plugin-update.js` + the detached `scripts/plugin-update-helper.js`, which runs `claude plugin marketplace update` → `claude plugin update -y` → `plugin-bootstrap.js --force` from the NEW cache dir. Both write the HTTP response before anything stops the process, and every plugin-chain outcome is recorded to `plugin-update.json` in the runtime dir — outside the cache, so it survives the swap and the next server reports it as `last_plugin_update`. Neither mode can run `/reload-plugins`: it is REPL-scoped to the session that invokes it, so an open Claude Code session still reloads by hand for new skills/commands. Elsewhere users run the printed manual command, surfaced in the UI and by `agenthub update-check`. `scripts/cc-update-all-helper.js` is the same detached pattern for the config panel's **Update all** button — marketplaces → every plugin → AgentHub LAST → one reload — journalling each step to `cc-update-all.json` in the runtime dir.)
 - `skills/`: this repo's skills. Because the repo root **is** the `agenthub` plugin root, this is also the plugin's skills directory — every skill here ships to anyone who installs the plugin, addressed as `/agenthub:<name>` (bare `/<name>` works as an alias). Put a skill here only if it should reach plugin users; `agenthub skills install` remains a fallback that copies `ship-feature-lane` into `~/.claude/skills/` for plain checkouts. - `agents/`: the same story for subagents — plugin root, so all four (`qc-local`, `senior-gate-reviewer`, `backend-reviewer`, `frontend-reviewer`) ship as `agenthub:<name>`. This is also the source `agenthub lanes agents install` copies the two pipeline agents from into a lane's `.claude/agents/`, which is what keeps the bare `subagent_type: qc-local` working there. One file per agent, never a second copy.
 - `.claude-plugin/`: the marketplace plus the root `agenthub` plugin manifest (`"source": "./"` — the whole repo is the plugin). Its hooks are inline in `plugin.json`; its commands live in `plugins/agenthub/commands/`, which is NOT a subdirectory plugin. `scripts/plugin-bootstrap.js` runs from `SessionStart` and owns the writable runtime under `~/.claude/agenthub/runtime/` — it never writes into the plugin cache, which Claude Code replaces on every update. See `docs/PLUGINS.md`.
 - **Reporting a required plugin is derived; installing one is allowlisted.** `server/lib/skill-plugins.js` reads the `/plugin:skill` strings out of the loaded pipeline templates — right for the `/agenthub-doctor` row, wrong for an install: a template is a file anyone can drop into `DASHBOARD_PIPELINES_DIR`, so installing whatever name it contains would make "edit a JSON file" mean "run this vendor's install command next session". The bootstrap installs only what `AUTO_INSTALLABLE` (a constant in that file, `superpowers` today) lists, in its DETACHED worker, never in the 10 s hook, recorded once as `state.skillPluginsSettled` (also gating `fastPathOk`), never throwing, and off under `AGENTHUB_AUTO_INSTALL_PLUGINS=0|false|off`. Do not derive an install target from a template.

 - Liveness: a silent **watcher** (stage matching `/watch|poll/`) is dead after `LANE_DEAD_SEC` seconds (default 300); a silent **idle** lane is at rest, not dead.
 - **Never `rm -rf` a lane.** Destructive lane operations (`reset`, `remove`, `purge`) go through `server/lib/worktree.js`/`server/lib/lanes.js`, never a raw filesystem delete — that's what keeps the three-check destroy guard and the DB bookkeeping in lockstep.
 - **Never build a git command as a shell string.** Lane git operations use `execFile("git", [...args])` with an explicit argument array (see `server/lib/worktree.js`'s `git()` helper), never a concatenated/interpolated string passed to a shell.
+- **A lane's AI Router profile is a lane fact too, and it never travels alone.** `lanes.router_profile` (nullable; null means the same as `native`) is written ONLY by `setRouterProfile`, called beside the disk write in `POST /api/lanes/:id/router/apply` — never through `PATCHABLE`. The column and the lane's own config must move together, or the row claims a router the lane's `settings.local.json` has never heard of. What is written comes from the lane row, never the request: a **claude** lane gets eight `env` keys merged into `<cwd>/.claude/settings.local.json` (`.local` because the value carries an API key; every other key in that file is preserved and a non-JSON file is refused, not rewritten), a **codex** lane gets `$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml` — the layer `codex -p <name>` loads — because Codex has NO project-level config, and its base `config.toml` is never touched. Key material never leaves the server: profiles live at `<CLAUDE_HOME>/agenthub-routers/` (0700/0600), `GET /api/ai-routers` reports only `hasKey`, and there is deliberately no route that returns one profile in full. **`POST /api/ai-routers/test` sends a stored key ONLY to the endpoint it was stored against** — a blank `apiKey` falls back to the profile named by `name`, but only while the submitted `baseUrl` still equals the saved one, else `EBADKEY`. Relax that and the route becomes a way to make the server POST a saved key to any URL a browser names. **Re-pointing a lane is allowed and is not a PATCH:** the lane card's AI Router select calls `POST /api/lanes/:id/router/apply` (column + disk together, same rule as above), never `PATCH /api/lanes/:id`. **Codex's key reaches the pane through tmux's `-e` argv and is never typed into it** — `tmux.sendCommand` takes over an idle pane with `respawn-pane` for exactly this reason; a `KEY='sk-…' codex …` line typed with `send-keys` would be rendered to every attached browser, kept in the scrollback and appended to the user's shell history. Do not reintroduce a typed command line there. **And attaching COPIES a profile**, so the store stops being the single source of truth the moment a lane exists: `PATCH`/`DELETE /api/ai-routers/:name` must push through to the lanes naming it (`reapplyToLanes`/`detachFromLanes`), or a rotated key silently never reaches the lane still using the revoked one. See `server/lib/ai-routers.js`, `server/lib/router-apply.js`.
 - **A lane's `tool` is a lane fact, immutable, and never read from a request.** `lanes.tool` (`claude` | `codex`, default `claude`) is set by `createLane` only — it is deliberately absent from `PATCHABLE`, so no PATCH can flip the CLI under a live pane. Every spawn path (`POST /api/lanes/:id/start`, `POST /api/run`) takes the tool from the lane row and ignores whatever the body says; the run panel's Codex-only fields (`sandbox`, `approval`, `resumeLast`) are validated against the fixed allowlists in `server/lib/pty-run.js` before they reach an argv, and the bypass flags (`--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox`, `--dangerously-bypass-hook-trust`) are never emitted. `GET /api/run/binary?tool=` resolves the probed binary name from that same allowlist — the query string reaches `which`.
 - **Adopted lanes are not destroyable.** A lane with `kind === "adopted"` may never have its worktree reset or removed; "removing" one only drops the dashboard's own record of it. This is enforced in code (`assertDestroyable`'s first check) — do not add a path that bypasses it.
 - **A `cwd` can back at most one lane per tool, not one lane overall.** Uniqueness is the composite `idx_lanes_cwd_tool` (`cwd`, `tool`), not `cwd` alone — Repo/Adopt mode (`POST /api/lanes/ensure`) lets the same directory carry a `claude` lane and a `codex` lane side by side, shown as two separate cards. `resolveLaneByCwd(cwd, tool)` takes an optional `tool` filter for exactly this; hook ingestion (`touchLaneFromHook`, `resolveLaneForWork`) always pins it to `"claude"` because Codex has no hook mechanism in this codebase, so a hook event must never touch a `codex` lane sharing the path. Worktree mode is unaffected — it already allocates a unique directory per lane.

 ## Non-negotiable engineering rules
+- **When a `agenthub.service` unit of ours owns the server, nothing else may stop it.** The bootstrap that performs a self-update is spawned by the running server, so it lives in that server's systemd cgroup: SIGTERM-ing the server from there exits 0 (which `Restart=on-failure` read as "meant to stop") AND trips `KillMode=control-group`, reaping the bootstrap before it can repoint the unit or write `state.json` — a dashboard dead after every update until some later session bootstrapped again. So `scripts/systemd-service.js` splits the API: `writeUserService` repoints the unit and starts NOTHING, `restartUserService` uses `--no-block`, and `plugin-bootstrap.js` defers that restart past `writeState` and `releaseLock` (`pendingSystemdRestart`). The unit is `Restart=always`. Do not add a path that stops the dashboard from inside its own cgroup, and do not move the restart earlier. `agenthub service install` may keep using `installUserService` — it runs from a user's shell, outside the cgroup. `systemdOwned` additionally requires the unit to be ACTIVE (an installed-but-stopped unit owns nothing; treating it as owner skips the stop and then binds an occupied port). A unit naming a RETIRED plugin root is invisible until a reboot, so `fastPathOk` rejects it via `unitIsStale` (pure fs — that path may never spawn a process) and the bootstrap rewrites it; repairing the unit is NOT restarting the server (`pendingSystemdRestart = systemdOwned && needsServer`), and the detached-spawn fallback is guarded by `needsServer` so a stale unit alone never starts a second server onto a bound port.
+- **A bootstrap that is no longer the installed build does NOTHING, and `--force` does not override that.** `supersededBy` (`scripts/plugin-bootstrap.js`) reads Claude Code's `installed_plugins.json`: if a SIBLING cache directory is the recorded install, this build logs one line and returns `superseded` — no deps, no unit, no server. A Claude Code process that was not restarted after an update keeps loading the OLD cache dir, and without this its every session repointed `agenthub.service` at that old dir and restarted the dashboard onto the version the user just upgraded away from, once per session, forever. It may not hand over to the new build either — the process it would replace is the one loading it. Do not add a path that lets a retired root write the unit, stop the server, or "just" refresh deps.
+- **Deleting retired cache copies is the ONE thing here that touches the plugin cache, and four protections gate it.** `pruneRetiredPluginRoots` never deletes: this build; any `installPath` in `installed_plugins.json`; the dir `agenthub.service` names (`unitRoot`, foreign unit included); any dir named in the user's `settings.json` hooks (a un-restarted Claude Code is still executing from there — deleting it breaks that session's hooks). Plus the 2 newest survivors as a rollback cushion, and nothing at all outside `~/.claude/plugins/cache/`. It runs AFTER `writeState`, so a bad prune cannot also cost the record of a good bootstrap. Adding a fifth thing that pins a cache dir means adding a fifth protection here.
+- **A session reload is typed into a live pane, never spawned.** `/reload-plugins` and `/reload-skills` are scoped BY CLAUDE CODE to the session that runs them, so nothing can reload a session from the outside. `server/lib/cc-reload.js` therefore types them into the dashboard's existing tmux lane panes and spawns NO `claude` process — a one-shot `claude -p "/reload-plugins"` reloads only its own short-lived session, exits, and leaves a junk session in the dashboard's own history. Do not add a path that starts a session in order to reload one.

+## Step 0 — System packages
+
+Node and npm are not enough: `git` backs every lane operation, and **`tmux`
+backs the run console**. The dashboard shells out to the `tmux` binary and has
+no bundled fallback, so without it **Start Run** and `agenthub lanes shell`
+fail while everything else keeps working.
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install git tmux        # Debian / Ubuntu
+sudo dnf install git tmux        # Fedora / RHEL
+brew install git tmux            # macOS
+sudo pacman -S git tmux          # Arch
+```
+
+Windows has no native tmux. Run AgentHub under **WSL2** and install it inside
+the WSL distro — a tmux from Git Bash or MSYS is not what the server executes.
+
+Check it:
+
+```bash
+tmux -V          # e.g. tmux 3.4
+git --version
+node -v          # v20.x / v22.x / v24.x
+```
+
+Once the server is up you can ask it directly — this is the same probe the
+dashboard uses:
+
+```bash
+curl -s localhost:4820/api/run/tmux      # {"available":true}
+```
+
+**No configuration is needed.** AgentHub creates its own session per lane,
+named `agenthub-lane-<id>`, and never reads your `~/.tmux.conf` for anything it
+depends on (mouse mode is set on the session explicitly). You can attach to the
+exact same pane from a normal terminal:
+
+```bash
+agenthub lanes shell             # from inside the lane's directory
+tmux attach -t agenthub-lane-7   # or by name
+tmux ls                          # every dashboard session is prefixed agenthub-lane-
+```
+
+Detaching is `Ctrl-b d` — it leaves the run alive, which is the whole point:
+the browser terminal and your local terminal are two clients on one pane, and
+restarting the dashboard never stops a run.

-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The image sets `DASHBOARD_HOST=0.0.0.0` and `DASHBOARD_DATA_DIR=/app/data` internally (baked into the `Dockerfile`). The `0.0.0.0` bind is required because a container's loopback is a separate namespace the published port cannot reach; `/app/data` is bind-mounted to `~/.claude/agenthub` on the host so Docker uses the same database as `npm start`. The trust boundary is the **host** port publish — the examples use `-p 127.0.0.1:4820:4820`, so the dashboard is local-only. To expose it on a LAN, publish on `0.0.0.0` (`-p 4820:4820`) **and** set `DASHBOARD_TOKEN`.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Claude Code hooks run on the host, not inside the container. After the container is healthy on `http://localhost:4820`, run `npm run install-hooks` on the host so Claude Code posts hook events back to the containerized server. The installer refuses to run inside a container (issue #193) to avoid writing a container-internal handler path into a bind-mounted `~/.claude`; use `AGENTHUB_ALLOW_CONTAINER_HOOKS=1` only if you run Claude Code inside the same container.

+### Installing tmux
+
+The dashboard shells out to the `tmux` binary; there is no bundled fallback, so
+**Start Run** and `agenthub lanes shell` fail without it. Everything else
+(sessions, analytics, lanes, stage detection, the CLI) works fine.
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install tmux        # Debian / Ubuntu
+sudo dnf install tmux        # Fedora / RHEL
+brew install tmux            # macOS
+sudo pacman -S tmux          # Arch
+```
+
+Windows has no native tmux — run AgentHub under WSL2 and install it there.
+
+Verify, both from your shell and from the server's point of view:
+
+```bash
+tmux -V                                      # e.g. tmux 3.4
+curl -s localhost:4820/api/run/tmux          # {"available":true}
+```
+
+A lane's run lives in a tmux session named `agenthub-lane-<id>`, so the browser
+terminal and a local `tmux attach -t agenthub-lane-<id>` (or `agenthub lanes
+shell`) are two clients on the same pane — they stay in sync, and killing the
+dashboard never kills the run.

+### Cài tmux
+
+Dashboard gọi thẳng binary `tmux`, không có bản dự phòng đi kèm, nên thiếu nó
+thì **Start Run** và `agenthub lanes shell` sẽ lỗi. Phần còn lại (session,
+analytics, lane, stage detection, CLI) vẫn chạy bình thường.
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install tmux        # Debian / Ubuntu
+sudo dnf install tmux        # Fedora / RHEL
+brew install tmux            # macOS
+sudo pacman -S tmux          # Arch

+Kiểm tra, cả từ shell của bạn lẫn từ góc nhìn của server:
+
+```bash
+tmux -V                                      # ví dụ: tmux 3.4
+curl -s localhost:4820/api/run/tmux          # {"available":true}
+```
+
+Mỗi lane chạy trong một tmux session tên `agenthub-lane-<id>`, nên terminal
+trên trình duyệt và `tmux attach -t agenthub-lane-<id>` (hoặc `agenthub lanes
+shell`) ở máy là hai client trên cùng một pane — chúng đồng bộ với nhau, và tắt
+dashboard không bao giờ giết run đang chạy. Detach bằng `Ctrl-b d`.
+
+### Plugin superpowers
+
+Plugin **`superpowers` chỉ cần cho ship-feature pipeline**, không cần cho
+dashboard. `/agenthub:ship-feature` và `/agenthub:ship-feature-lane` lái các skill
+của nó theo từng phase. Thiếu nó thì dashboard, hook và CLI vẫn chạy bình thường
+— chỉ hai skill pipeline là dừng giữa chừng; `/agenthub-doctor` báo dòng `WARN`.
+
+**Bình thường bạn không phải tự cài.** Bootstrap `SessionStart` của plugin cài
+giúp một lần trong worker chạy nền, và session hiện tại cần `/reload-plugins`
+thì skill mới resolve được (session sau tự nhận). Cài tay:
+
+```bash
+claude plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official
+```

Start the container first, then run `npm run install-hooks` on the host. As a safeguard (issue #193), the installer now **detects container execution and refuses to run** (exiting non-zero) so it can never poison a bind-mounted host `~/.claude`; the containerized server logs the same guidance instead of silently writing a bad path. If you genuinely run Claude Code inside the same container, override with `AGENTHUB_ALLOW_CONTAINER_HOOKS=1 npm run install-hooks`.
+> Container note: if you run the dashboard inside a container (a Dev Container, Codespaces, or your own image), do not install hooks from in there — the hook path a container writes points at the container filesystem, not the host.

As a safeguard (issue #193) the installer **detects container execution and refuses to run** (exiting non-zero) so it can never poison a bind-mounted host `~/.claude`.

 > [!NOTE]
 > Prefer a ready-made dev environment? This repo ships an **optional** Dev Container (`.devcontainer/`) for VS Code / GitHub Codespaces — Node 22, native build tools for `better-sqlite3`, Python, and ports `4820`/`5173` preconfigured. It's purely opt-in and changes nothing for host-based development. See [`.devcontainer/README.md`](.devcontainer/README.md). (Hooks remain host-side there too.)

-### Container runtime (Docker / Podman)
-
-The repo includes both a multi-stage `Dockerfile` and a `docker-compose.yml` file. The container image serves the built client and API on port `4820`, stores SQLite data under `/app/data`, and can import legacy Claude history from a read-only `~/.claude` mount.
-
-```bash
-# Docker Compose
-docker compose up -d --build
-
-# Podman Compose
-CLAUDE_HOME="$HOME/.claude" podman compose up -d --build
-
-# Plain Docker
-docker build -t agent-monitor .
-docker run -d --name agent-monitor \
-  -p 127.0.0.1:4820:4820 \
-  -v "$HOME/.claude:/root/.claude:ro" \
-  -v agent-monitor-data:/app/data \
-  agent-monitor
-
-# Plain Podman
-podman build -t agent-monitor .
-podman run -d --name agent-monitor \
-  -p 127.0.0.1:4820:4820 \
-  -v "$HOME/.claude:/root/.claude:ro" \
-  -v "$HOME/.claude/agenthub:/app/data" \
-  agent-monitor
-```
-
-Container-specific behavior:
-
- The dashboard is available at `http://localhost:4820`
- The image sets `DASHBOARD_HOST=0.0.0.0` (bind inside the container — its loopback is a separate namespace the published port cannot reach) and `DASHBOARD_DATA_DIR=/app/data` internally; both are baked into the `Dockerfile`
- The examples publish on `127.0.0.1` only, so the dashboard is local-only. To expose it on a LAN, publish on `0.0.0.0` (`-p 4820:4820`) **and** set `DASHBOARD_TOKEN`
- `~/.claude:/root/.claude:ro` is used for history import only
- `~/.claude/agenthub:/app/data` is the **canonical** SQLite database (shared with native installs)
- Claude Code hooks still execute on the host, so install them from the host with `npm run install-hooks`

-**Updating the service worker cache:** Each SW has a `CACHE_NAME` constant (e.g. `dashboard-v2`). After deploying new assets, bump the version string to force browsers to re-fetch — though for the dashboard this is rarely needed: hashed `/assets/*` URLs are immutable per build, everything else is fetched network-first with cache fallback, and a `controllerchange` listener in the client reloads the page exactly once when a new SW takes over, so a rebuild propagates without a hard refresh.

+ *
+ * A lane CHOOSES its router in the Add-lane modal, not here. But choosing one

+ * does reach every lane already using it — the server re-applies it, or resets

+ * is surfaced: a rotated key that silently missed two lanes would leave the
+ * user believing a revoked key is out of use when it is not.

+ * The built-in `native` row is rendered read-only: it is the vendor's own API,
+ * and it exists so that "go back to native" is the same operation as "use a
+ * router" rather than a special case.

+ * An API key is write-only here by design — the server never returns one, so

+ * @file Covers the "Update all" card on the Claude Code config panel's plugins
+ * tab: it starts the detached batch, renders the worker's journal as it polls,
+ * survives the dashboard restart the batch's last step causes, and keeps the
+ * per-plugin update button reloading only that one plugin.
+ *
+ * The restart case is the one worth a test: while AgentHub replaces itself the
+ * status endpoint stops answering, and a naive implementation would render that
+ * as a failure right at the moment everything is going to plan.

 `GET /api/cc-config/plugins` returns each installed plugin's `contributes` block: the `skills` / `agents` / `commands` / `outputStyles` / `hooks` counts, plus `contributes.items` listing the first four surfaces **by name** (`[{ name, description, file }]`) so the UI can show *which* artifacts a plugin ships, not only how many. `name` is the file's frontmatter `name` when it declares one — the string Claude Code actually addresses it by — otherwise the filename. Each surface covers both the conventional directory (`skills/`, `agents/`, `commands/`, `output-styles/`) **and** any path `plugin.json` declares under that key: a plugin that lists its commands explicitly and keeps nothing in `commands/` (this repo's own `agenthub` does) previously reported zero. A declared path that resolves outside the plugin's install directory is ignored — a third-party manifest must not make the dashboard read arbitrary files. The counts are always the matching list's length. `hooks` has no `items` list: a plugin's hooks are matcher/command pairs declared inline in `plugin.json`, not named artifacts.

+### Updating everything, and reloading sessions
+
+`POST /api/cc-config/plugins/update-all` refreshes every marketplace, then updates every installed plugin, then tells the open Claude Code sessions to pick the changes up. It **returns as soon as a detached worker is spawned** — the response is an acknowledgement, not a result — and progress is polled from `GET` on the same path, which reads the worker's journal at `~/.claude/agenthub/runtime/cc-update-all.json`.
+
+That indirection is structural, not stylistic: the plugin this dashboard *itself* runs from is updated **last**, followed by `plugin-bootstrap.js --force`, which stops this server and starts the replacement. A request handler doing the work would die partway through with the remaining plugins unrun and nothing able to report why, so the journal lives outside the plugin cache the update replaces and whichever server is alive serves it. Plugin ids come from `claude plugin list --json`, never from the request body, and the "self" plugin is derived from the server's own path — no caller can nominate a different plugin for the restart. A second concurrent batch is refused with 409 `EBUSY`.
+
+Batch `status` is `running`, `done`, `partial` (finished, at least one step failed), `failed`, or `abandoned`. `abandoned` is **derived, not stored**: the worker is detached, so a reboot leaves a `running` journal with nobody to finish it, and after an hour it is reported as abandoned so the button is usable again.
+
+`POST /api/cc-config/reload` is the reload step on its own. It types `/reload-plugins` and `/reload-skills` into the dashboard's live lane panes via `tmux send-keys`. **Both commands are scoped by Claude Code to the session that runs them** (`/reload-plugins` activates pending plugin changes "in the current session"; `/reload-skills` picks up skills changed on disk "during this session"), so nothing can reload a session from the outside — typing into a session that is already running is the only real mechanism, and it is what this does. It never spawns a `claude` process: a one-shot `claude -p "/reload-plugins"` would reload its own short-lived session, exit, and leave a junk session behind. Panes sitting at a shell prompt are skipped, since the text would run as a shell command instead; only `claude` lanes are addressed, as Codex has no equivalent. `lanes_total: 0` is a normal outcome, not an error. Sessions running outside the dashboard cannot be reached and must run the command themselves.
+
+`POST /api/cc-config/plugins/action` accepts `reload: true` for the counterpart behaviour: update one plugin, reload immediately. The batch reloads once at the end instead — one reload picks up every pending change, where N of them would re-scan the same directory N times. A reload is never sent after a *failed* action.
+
 `GET /api/cc-config/memory` also surfaces the per-project file-based memory store — every `*.md` under `~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/` (the common pattern of a `MEMORY.md` index plus one file per remembered fact). Those items have `scope: "auto-memory"` and carry `project` (the `projects/<slug>` dir name), `name` (filename), `isIndex` (true for `MEMORY.md` / `INDEX-*.md`, which sort first), and parsed `frontmatter`. They are **editable**: `PUT`/`DELETE /api/cc-config/file` accept `{ scope: "auto-memory", type: "auto-memory", project, name, content? }` and create a timestamped backup under `<memory-dir>/.cc-config-backups/auto-memory/` before mutating (an invalid `project` slug returns `EBADPROJECT`). `GET /api/cc-config/backups` lists these with `scope: "auto-memory"` and `project` set. Bodies are also readable via `GET /api/cc-config/file` (they live under `CLAUDE_HOME`).

 **`POST /api/{cc,codex}-config/project-memory` (a new project's memory file).** Creates `CLAUDE.md` (Claude) or `AGENTS.md` (Codex) inside the directory named by `dir` — the one write path that honours a caller-supplied directory, because bootstrapping a project the dashboard has never run in is impossible from a writer pinned to the server's own cwd (which is what `PUT /file`'s `"project"` scope means). It stays narrow: `dir` must be absolute and already exist (nothing is created for you), the filename comes from the route and is never taken from the body, and an existing file — including a symlink under that name — returns **409 `EEXISTS`** rather than being overwritten, so this endpoint can only ever create. Bad or missing directories return 400 `EBADDIR`. Unlike the other config routes it sits behind the same loopback-`Origin` guard `/api/run` uses (403 `EBADORIGIN`): a page in the user's browser could otherwise plant agent instructions in a project directory. Returns `{ file, size, created: true }`, where `file` is the realpath'd target, and broadcasts `cc_config_changed`.

+DELETE /api/ai-routers/:name          Delete one saved profile
+```
+
+`PATCH` and `DELETE` also answer with `lanes: { updated, failed[] }` — see "an edit reaches the lanes" below.
+
+A **router profile** is an endpoint that stands in front of Claude Code or Codex (9Router, OpenRouter, a self-hosted gateway) plus the model names to use against it. It powers the **AI Router** tab of Settings (`/settings?tool=ai-router`), which stores profiles and attaches nothing — the tab's **Test** button (`POST /api/ai-routers/test`, below) is its only outbound call. Attaching a profile to a lane happens in the "+ Add lane" modal, or later from the lane's card in Workspace.
+
+`models` carries the five per-tier names (`opus`, `sonnet`, `haiku`, `smallFast`, `subagent`). Any tier omitted is filled from `model`, so a router that answers to one symbolic name needs one field, not six.
+
+**No response here ever contains key material.** A saved profile reports `hasKey: true|false` and there is deliberately no `GET /:name` — a route returning one profile in full would be the single way an API key could leave the server. Profiles live one JSON file each under `<CLAUDE_HOME>/agenthub-routers/` (dir `0700`, files `0600`). An omitted `apiKey` on `PATCH` keeps the stored one; the edit form cannot display a key, so it has none to send back.
+
+**`POST /api/ai-routers/test`** answers the question saving cannot: does this endpoint, with this key, actually serve this model? It sends one Anthropic-style message capped at a single output token to `<baseUrl>/v1/messages` (a 15 s timeout), which is the wire shape a claude lane's eight env keys point at — a Codex-only router is not covered. A router that answers is a `200` here whatever it replies: `{ ok, status, message }` carries the router's own words (truncated to 300 characters), and `status` is `null` when nothing answered at all. Only bad input is a 4xx.
+
+The stored key is only ever sent to the endpoint it was stored against. A blank `apiKey` falls back to the key of the profile named by `name`, but **only** while the submitted `baseUrl` still equals the saved one — so testing a retyped endpoint needs a retyped key (`400 EBADKEY`). Without that rule this route would be a way to make the server POST a saved API key to any URL a browser names.
+
+`native` is a built-in profile, not the absence of one: empty `baseUrl`/`apiKey` and the vendor's own model names, so switching back is the same write path as switching to a router. It answers `409 EBUILTIN` to any update, delete, or attempt to shadow its name. Other errors: `400 EBADLABEL` / `EBADURL` (an endpoint must be `http:` or `https:`) / `EBADMODEL`, `404 ENOTFOUND`.
+
+**`POST /api/lanes/:id/router/apply`** — Body: `{ profile: "<name>" }` — is where a profile reaches disk. Only the name comes from the request; what is written, and where, is derived from the lane row:
+
+- A **claude** lane gets eight env keys merged into `<lane.cwd>/.claude/settings.local.json` (`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`, `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`, `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`, `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`, `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL`, `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL`, `ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL`, `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL`). Every other key in that file, including every other env var, is preserved; a file that is not valid JSON is reported as `409 EBADJSON` and left untouched. `.local.json` rather than `settings.json` because the written value includes an API key.
+- A **codex** lane gets `$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`, the layer `codex -p <name>` loads on top of the base config — Codex has no project-level config, so the base `config.toml` is never touched. The layer sets `wire_api = "responses"`; `"chat"` is not an option, codex-cli 0.149 refuses to load a config containing it. `env_key` is written only when the profile has a key — naming a variable that is never set is itself a startup error — and the key stays out of the file: the lane's spawn hands `AGENTHUB_ROUTER_KEY` to the pane through tmux's own `-e`, never as typed text.
+
+Attaching to a **native** lane is not a no-op for claude: `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` are written as empty strings (removing them would let a *user-level* router apply to a lane that asked for native), while the six model names are removed (writing them would override the user's own global model choice).
+
+The lane's `router_profile` column is set in the same call. Like `tool`, it is absent from the lane `PATCH` allowlist: the row and the config on disk may only move together.
+
+**An edit reaches the lanes that already use the profile.** Attaching *copies* a profile — a claude lane carries the key and base URL in its own settings file from then on — so a store-only write would be inert exactly where it matters: rotating a leaked key in Settings would leave every claude lane authenticating with the revoked one. `PATCH` therefore re-applies the profile to each lane naming it, and `DELETE` resets those lanes to native (on disk and in the DB) and removes the Codex layer file. Both report `lanes: { updated: <n>, failed: ["<id> (<title>): <code>", …] }`; a lane whose directory is gone or whose settings file a human has broken is reported there, never fatal to the edit.

 - **Repo** — adopts the given directory as-is (maps to `agenthub lanes add --cwd`). No branch fields; the auto-setup summary above does not run (adopting is instant, nothing to wait on).
 - **Worktree** (default) — provisions a managed worktree (maps to `agenthub lanes add --repo`).

+Under the *Pipeline template* select, a **Model endpoint** radio chooses between **Native** (the vendor's own API) and **AI Router** — a profile saved in Settings › AI Router (9Router, OpenRouter, a self-hosted gateway). Choosing one writes it into the new lane's own config as the lane is created: a claude lane gets the `env` block of its `.claude/settings.local.json`, a codex lane gets a `$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml` layer plus a `-p <name>` on every spawn. With no profile saved the radio stays on Native and says so. Unlike the lane's tool, this one is not immutable: an existing lane's detail header in Workspace carries a **Model** select (beside the pipeline picker) showing its current profile, and picking another calls `POST /api/lanes/:id/router/apply`, rewriting the lane's config and its `router_profile` column together. (The select is hidden when `native` is the only profile — there would be nothing to choose.) A failed apply puts the select back rather than leaving the row claiming a router the lane did not get, and marks itself `⚠` with the error in its tooltip. A session already running in the pane keeps the endpoint it started with — Claude Code reads `settings.local.json` at startup — so the change takes effect on the next run. Editing or deleting the profile itself in Settings also reaches every lane using it: an edit re-applies it (so a rotated key actually lands), a delete resets those lanes to Native. See `docs/API.md` § AI Router profiles.
+
+Under the *Pipeline template* select, a **Create/update readme file** checkbox (Claude lanes only — Codex has no slash commands) starts the new lane's terminal run right after creation with `/sg-all:sg-md-writing` as its first message, so the lane opens already writing/refreshing its `CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md` set. It requires the `sg-all` plugin to be installed in Claude Code; without it the session simply reports an unknown command. Leave it unticked to create the lane without starting a run.

 Both modes' path field has a **Browse** button next to it, opening a small folder browser (`GET /api/lanes/browse?path=<abs>`) instead of a native OS picker — a browser cannot hand a web page an absolute filesystem path from a native dialog, so this dashboard (local-first, server and browser on the same machine) lists directories server-side instead: click a subfolder to descend, ".." to go up, "Select this folder" to fill the path field. Git repos are marked in the listing.

Tools sits here rather than in Settings because all three of its actions run against one lane's `cwd` — in Settings it would need a lane picker just to say which.

 - **Terminal** — a real interactive terminal (xterm.js) displaying the tmux session's PTY output, with full support for interactive commands, editors, and pagers. A live run keeps its rendered history and scroll position when scrolling.

+### A retired build never acts
+
+`claude plugin update` unpacks the new version into a **new** cache directory
+and prints "Restart to apply changes". A Claude Code process that was already
+running does not: it keeps loading the OLD directory — skills, commands and
+hooks included — until it is restarted.
+
+That used to be self-inflicting. Every session such a process opened ran the
+OLD `plugin-bootstrap.js`, which saw a `state.json` naming a different root,
+concluded the server had to be replaced, repointed `agenthub.service` at itself
+and restarted the dashboard onto the version the user had just upgraded away
+from. The dashboard then reported the old version and offered the update again
+— once per session, forever, while `installed_plugins.json` and the cache both
+said the new version was installed. A `/agenthub-update` from that session
+"succeeded" and changed nothing.
+
+So the bootstrap now asks first (`supersededBy`): if Claude Code's
+`~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json` records a **sibling** directory as
+the installed build of this plugin, this build logs one line and returns
+`superseded` without touching dependencies, the unit, or the server. `--force`
+does not override it — the self-update chain runs `--force` from the NEW
+directory, which is never superseded, so the only `--force` this can refuse is
+one that would deliberately downgrade.
+
+It cannot hand over to the new build either: the process it would have to
+replace is the one loading it. Restarting Claude Code is the fix, and the log
+line says so.
+
+Matching is by sibling directory rather than by the `<plugin>@<marketplace>`
+key, which holds without parsing a cache path or trusting a name. An entry
+pointing at a directory that no longer exists is ignored — a phantom must never
+wedge a bootstrap shut.
+
+### Pruning the plugin cache
+
+Claude Code unpacks every update beside the last one and does not reliably
+remove the old. A machine that tracks releases closely accumulates a full copy
+of this repo — `node_modules` and all — per release; a dozen of them is
+gigabytes.
+
+Step 11 of the bootstrap (`pruneRetiredPluginRoots`) deletes them. This is the
+only place anything in the plugin touches the cache, and the rule it appears to
+break ("never write into the plugin cache") is about the *runtime* living
+outside it, not about keeping retired copies forever.
+
+Four independent readings of "still in use" are protected, and nothing matching
+any of them is ever deleted:
+
+| Protected | Why |
+|---|---|
+| This build | It is running. |
+| Every `installPath` in `installed_plugins.json`, at any scope | Claude Code says it is installed. |
+| The directory `agenthub.service` names (`unitRoot`, **foreign unit included**) | A service is executing from it. Not ours to rewrite is still not ours to delete. |
+| Any directory named in the user's `settings.json` hooks | A Claude Code process that has not been restarted is still executing from there — this is the same directory the section above describes, seen from the other side. Deleting it would break that session's hooks mid-flight. |
+
+Plus the newest `KEEP_RETIRED_ROOTS` (2) of whatever is left, as a rollback
+cushion. Outside `~/.claude/plugins/cache/` the pruner does nothing at all — for
+a git checkout the parent directory holds the user's own work. Best effort
+throughout: a directory that will not delete is left alone, never an error.

 server is a detached spawn started fresh on the next `SessionStart` after a
 reboot, same as always.

+### Who may stop the server
+
+**When a `agenthub.service` unit of ours exists, nothing else may stop the
+dashboard.** The bootstrap that performs a self-update is spawned by the
+running server, so it lives inside that server's systemd cgroup. SIGTERM-ing
+the server from there breaks two ways at once:
+
+- the server exits **0**, and the unit's old `Restart=on-failure` read a clean
+  exit as "meant to stop" — so systemd did not bring it back;
+- `KillMode=control-group` (systemd's default) reaps **every** process in the
+  cgroup when the main process exits, including the bootstrap itself — mid-run,
+  before it could repoint the unit at the new plugin root or write
+  `runtime/state.json`.
+
+The result was a dashboard that went down on every self-update and stayed down
+until some later Claude Code session happened to bootstrap again, leaving a
+stale `.bootstrap.lock` and a `state.json` still naming the previous version.
+
+So the order is fixed, and `scripts/systemd-service.js` splits its API to
+enforce it:
+
+| Situation | What the bootstrap does |
+|---|---|
+| A unit of ours owns the server (`unitIsOurs`) | Never stops it. `writeUserService` repoints the unit at the new plugin root **without starting anything**, the rest of the bootstrap runs, state is written, the lock is released — and only then `restartUserService` asks systemd to restart, with `--no-block` so being killed by its own request costs nothing. |
+| No unit, or a foreign one | Unchanged: stop the old server, then `installUserService` (or a detached spawn where there is no systemd). Nothing here is inside a unit's cgroup, so the stop is safe. |
+
+The unit is written with **`Restart=always`**, not `on-failure`: a graceful
+SIGTERM from anything at all would otherwise leave the dashboard down for good.
+An explicit `systemctl stop` — which is what `agenthub service uninstall` and
+the Settings panel do — still stops it.
+
+`agenthub service install` (the checkout path) keeps using `installUserService`:
+it runs from your own shell, outside the unit's cgroup, so it may block and
+start in one step.
+
+**A unit pointing at a retired plugin root repairs itself on the next session.**
+This is the residue an interrupted update leaves behind, and it is invisible
+while the dashboard is up: the server runs fine, every doctor row reads OK, and
+then a reboot starts a cache directory Claude Code deleted during the update —
+so the dashboard never comes back, for a reason nothing recorded. The fast path
+therefore checks it (`unitIsStale`, pure fs — it may not spawn a process on
+every `SessionStart`) and refuses to short-circuit, and the bootstrap rewrites
+the unit.
+
+Repairing the *unit* is not restarting the *server*: when the running server is
+current and healthy, the corrected unit is simply left to take effect at the
+next start (`pendingSystemdRestart = systemdOwned && needsServer`). Restarting
+a working dashboard to fix a file that only matters at boot would be churn the
+user feels for nothing. For the same reason the detached-spawn fallback is
+guarded by `needsServer` — entering that branch for a stale unit alone would
+start a second server onto a port the live one already holds.
+
+`systemdOwned` requires the unit to be **active**, not merely present: an
+installed-but-stopped unit owns nothing, and treating it as the owner would
+skip the stop and then ask systemd to bind an occupied port — a crash loop,
+courtesy of `Restart=always`.

+# AI Router profiles — design
+
+## Goal
+
+Configure named AI Router endpoints (9Router, OpenRouter, …) once in Settings,
+then pick one when creating a lane so that lane's Claude Code or Codex session
+talks to the router instead of the vendor's own API — without hand-editing a
+settings file per project, and without a second copy of the whole settings file
+drifting out of sync with the first.
+
+## What the reference setup showed
+
+The user today keeps two whole files, `~/.claude/settings.json` (native) and
+`~/.claude/settings2.json` (9Router), and swaps them. Diffing the two:
+
+- They differ in exactly one place that matters — the `env` block, 8 keys:
+  `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`, `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`, `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`,
+  `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`, `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL`,
+  `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL`, `ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL`,
+  `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL`.
+- Every other difference (`hooks`, `enabledPlugins`, `statusLine`,
+  `effortLevel`, …) is drift between two hand-maintained copies. Removing that
+  drift is half the point of this feature.
+- "Native" is **not** the absence of the connection variables: the native file
+  sets `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` to empty strings and
+  carries real `claude-*` model names.
+- The 9Router file sets all six model slots to one symbolic value (`Highest`),
+  which the router resolves. Model values are therefore free text, and "one
+  value for every tier" is the common case, not the exception.
+
+## Decisions (from brainstorming)
+
+1. **The Settings tab only stores profiles.** It does not attach anything.
+   Attaching happens when a lane is created.
+2. **Native is a built-in profile, not a code branch.** Its `baseUrl`/`apiKey`
+   are empty and its six model slots hold the native `claude-*` names. It cannot
+   be edited or deleted. Switching native ↔ router is therefore one write path
+   with no special case.
+3. **A profile carries six model slots plus an "apply to all" convenience
+   field**, mirroring exactly the env keys Claude Code reads.
+4. **The API key never leaves the server.** Profiles are stored one JSON file
+   each under `<CLAUDE_HOME>/agenthub-routers/` (dir `0700`, file `0600`),
+   following `cc-profiles.js`. `GET` returns metadata plus `hasKey: true`,
+   never the key.
+5. **A lane's router is fixed at creation**, like `lanes.tool`: a new nullable
+   `lanes.router_profile` column, deliberately absent from `PATCHABLE`.
+6. **AgentHub never reads `~/.9router/db.json`.** That is another application's
+   private store; parsing it would couple this dashboard to a format its owner
+   is free to change. The user pastes a base URL and a key, as they do today.
+
+## Attaching, per tool
+
+The two tools differ because the tools themselves differ, not by choice.
+
+**Claude lane** — write the profile's eight env keys into
+`<lane.cwd>/.claude/settings.local.json`, merging into any `env` already there
+and leaving every other key in the file untouched. `settings.local.json` rather
+than `settings.json` because the value written includes an API key and that file
+is the one Claude Code's own convention keeps out of git.
+
+**Codex lane** — Codex has no project-level config: `codex doctor` reports one
+loaded file, `~/.codex/config.toml`. It does have
+`-p, --profile <name>`, documented as *"Layer `$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`
+on top of the base user config"*. So each router profile is written once to
+`~/.codex/<name>.config.toml` (`model_provider` plus a `[model_providers.<id>]`
+table with `base_url`, `env_key`, `wire_api`), and the lane's spawn adds
+`-p <name>`. The base `~/.codex/config.toml` is never modified. Codex reads the
+key from the environment variable named by `env_key`, so the spawn also injects
+that variable into the tmux pane — `pty-run.js` already passes an `env` map to
+`tmux new-session -e`.
+
+## Surface
+
+- `server/lib/ai-routers.js` — store: list/get/create/update/remove, name
+  validation, `0700`/`0600`, key never returned by the list shape.
+- `server/lib/router-apply.js` — the two writers above, taking a lane row and a
+  profile. Target directories come from the lane row in the DB, never from a
+  request body — the same narrowing every other lane write path uses.
+- `server/routes/ai-routers.js` → `/api/ai-routers`: `GET /`, `POST /`,
+  `PATCH /:name`, `DELETE /:name`, reusing `cc-profiles.js`'s error-code→status
+  table.
+- `POST /api/lanes/:id/router/apply` — a fourth member of the auto-setup set the
+  Add-lane modal already fires (`profileInit`, `agentsInstall`, `mcpSync`).
+- `client/src/pages/AiRouterConfig.tsx` + one line in `SettingsHub.tsx`'s
+  `TOOL_TABS`, placed after Codex.
+- `AddLaneModal`: a Native / AI Router radio, and a profile select shown only
+  when AI Router is chosen.
+- DB: `ALTER TABLE lanes ADD COLUMN router_profile TEXT`, nullable.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+Changing an existing lane's router (create-time only, exactly like `tool`),
+attaching at user/global scope, editing Codex's base `config.toml`, and reading
+any router vendor's own configuration store.
+
+## Verification
+
+Server tests against a temporary `CLAUDE_HOME`/`CODEX_HOME`: store CRUD and its
+permission bits, the key never appearing in a list response, the
+`settings.local.json` merge preserving unrelated keys, and the generated
+`<name>.config.toml`. Client tests: the tab renders and creates a profile, and
+the Add-lane radio sends the chosen profile only when AI Router is selected.
+
+The load-bearing assumption — a project-level `settings.local.json` `env` block
+overrides the user-level one per key — is confirmed by the user from their own
+earlier testing.

+      description: 'Mutating. Spawns a DETACHED worker and returns immediately — the response is an acknowledgement, not a result; poll GET on this path to follow it. Order: `claude plugin marketplace update` (no name = all), then `claude plugin update <id> -y` for every installed plugin, then `/reload-plugins` + `/reload-skills` typed into the live lane panes. The plugin this dashboard itself runs from is updated LAST and followed by `plugin-bootstrap.js --force`, which stops this server and starts the replacement — which is why the work cannot happen in the request handler and why the journal lives outside the plugin cache. Plugin ids come from `claude plugin list --json`, never from the body, and the "self" plugin is derived from this server''s own path, so no caller can nominate a different plugin for the restart. Answers 409 EBUSY when a batch is already in flight; the body is ignored apart from an optional `reload:false`.'

+      description: 'Types `/reload-plugins` and `/reload-skills` into the dashboard''s live lane panes over `tmux send-keys`. Both commands are scoped BY CLAUDE CODE to the session that runs them, so there is no way to reload a session from outside — typing into a session that is already running is what a human would do, and it is what this does. It spawns no `claude` process: a one-shot `claude -p "/reload-plugins"` would reload only its own short-lived session and leave a junk session behind. Changes nothing on disk, so it does not queue on the CLI mutation chain and emits no `cc_config_changed`. Panes sitting at a shell prompt are skipped (the text would run as a shell command); only `claude` lanes are addressed, since Codex has no such command. Optional body `{kinds:["plugins"|"skills"]}` narrows which commands are sent; unknown kinds are ignored, as the command strings are fixed server-side.'

+ *      replacement. Anything ordered after it would run while the server is
+ *      down, which is exactly why it is last.
