Capture the current entrypoint once without inventing a path. Preserve unknown registration ownership through setup and doctor, refuse unsafe registration plans, and retain exact pinned-launcher readiness checks. Hash the same full or compact schema projection advertised by each MCP server and use that identity in doctor comparisons.
BREAKING CHANGE: server.command_path may be null when the invocation path is unavailable. Registration and setup statuses, and doctor classifications, may report unknown.

Validate final selected skill roots and references before preview, approval,
and client/Hopper changes, with a repeated installation-boundary check.
Preserve interactive unselected-client choices and registration-only setup.
Share typed directory/read observations across setup, doctor, and update;
report unmanaged paths and unknown reads with actionable paths/reasons.
Retain uninstall child outcomes and ownership manifests when cleanup remains.
Shared single-pass inspection retains all unreadable paths after stale or
missing files and keeps observed metadata, without duplicate manifest reads.
Absent installed files do not depend on generated bundled bytes.
Validation: 217 related tests, 41 final CLI/MCP and filesystem checks, and all
7,446 source tests in 508 files pass (eight platform/condition skips).
Static/docs checks pass. Normal four-call
install/rerun/repair/uninstall tasks preserve results and output token counts.
No native Windows follow-up or arbitrary concurrent swap containment claim.
Fixes#3057.

* fix(setup): resolve the configuration MSIX Claude Desktop reads
On Windows, setup, doctor and uninstall always used
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json. The MSIX build of Claude
Desktop (package family Claude_pzs8sxrjxfjjc) virtualizes AppData writes
and reads its package-private copy under
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\<family>\LocalCache\Roaming\Claude once it exists.
Setup from an ordinary process therefore wrote a file the app never reads,
and doctor reported that file healthy.
Resolve the Claude Desktop location once, in supportedClients(): the
private copy when it exists, else the AppData file the package still
reads, else a new private copy. An unrecognized Claude_* publisher or
unreadable package storage is reported instead of falling back to AppData.
Compare one of the package's private files with its AppData path through
realpath.native to learn whether the running package started this
process. From that redirected view, or when no file can be compared,
setup and uninstall refuse to change Claude Desktop's configuration,
because the running app rewrites it from memory. From a redirected view
they also refuse writes under %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA% for other
clients and skills, which would land in the package's private storage.
Setup refuses to register a launcher stored in any MSIX package's
private storage, discloses which file the package reads, and tells the
user to quit Claude Desktop fully on every platform. Configuration fails
with target_changed if the package switched to its private copy after
the plan was shown. Uninstall removes REA from both files.

* docs(setup): record the verified MSIX Claude Desktop registration
On the Windows 11 host with the MSIX build 2.31226.1.0, setup from an
ordinary terminal with the app quit wrote the package-private copy. After
the app restarted, the entry persisted, doctor reported it aligned, and
Claude Desktop's MCP log showed REA starting and answering tools/list.
Uninstall against the real app remains unverified.

* style(setup): format MSIX review corrections
* fix(setup): carry the admitted legacy path through uninstall removal
clientRegistrationRemoval returned a removeLegacy boolean, and removeClient
recomputed the legacy path separately, so TypeScript could not prove the
path existed when removeLegacy was true and `tsc --noEmit` failed in
Uninstall.ts. The decision now returns the admitted legacy path itself;
preflight and removal consume that one value.
The alias regression matched new-destination children with a "/"
separator while building paths with path.join, so it failed on Windows.
It now uses path.sep.

* test(setup): split MSIX Claude Desktop lifecycle cases under the function length limit
The uninstall cases pushed the registration lifecycle describe past the 150-line lint limit. Group them separately, with the AppData registration case kept among the registration cases.

Track attempted writes, preserve original content and modes from one regular-file observation, and continue rollback after individual failures. Return tagged failure details and retained backup paths through setup.
Validation: setup filesystem and recovery tests, combined compile/typecheck/lint/format/metadata/architecture checks. Filesystem fault injection covers backup, ambiguous publication, and rollback failures.
Setup run through bunx or bun x registered the bin inside bun's temporary
package cache. Detect bun's package-runner launch from npm_command=exec
with a bun user agent and register the pinned bunx launcher, wrapped in
cmd.exe on Windows like the npx launcher. Doctor, update maintenance and
uninstall recognize it as REA-owned, and setup's printed commands name
the runner that launched it.
Read the runner variables case-insensitively on Windows, where the CLI
environment snapshot upper-cases variable names and setup run through
npx also fell back to the cache path.

* fix(build): emit no runtime imports for type-only bindings
Under verbatimModuleSyntax, an import whose specifiers all carry inline
`type` modifiers compiles to `import {} from "..."`, a side-effect import
that still resolves and evaluates the module. 78 compiled modules carried
one, including `import {} from "playwright-core"` in the browser scenario
session, which loaded Playwright's module graph at MCP startup.
Use top-level `import type` for these bindings and enable oxlint's
typescript/no-import-type-side-effects rule so the pattern cannot return.

* perf(mcp): load Playwright when a scenario launches, not at startup
The browser scenario and Electron active providers are constructed before
the stdio server serves, and both bound Playwright's launchers at module
load. Resolve `chromium` and `_electron` from playwright-core when a
capture opens instead, as the web module resolver already does.
MCP startup now resolves 1,312 modules (4,902 resolutions) instead of
1,598 (6,076) before reading the first request, and no longer loads
playwright-core. Provider construction, the tool catalog, and capability
inventory are unchanged.
A boundary test spawns the stdio server, initializes, lists tools, and
asserts playwright-core and isomorphic-git were not resolved; the CLI
probe now exercises the real launch path to prove detection.
Closes#1685

* feat: add Hermes as a supported MCP client
Hermes Agent reads stdio MCP servers from `mcp_servers.<name>` in
`config.yaml`. REA had no Hermes client, so setup could not register it and
Hermes users had to wire the server up by hand.
- SupportedClients: add the `hermes` format and client definition, resolving
the config path from HERMES_HOME, else the platform default that Hermes's own
resolver uses (LOCALAPPDATA/hermes on Windows, ~/.hermes elsewhere), including
HERMES_DATA_DIR_SUFFIX.
- ClientConfigurationDocument: parse and serialize Hermes YAML, upserting the
rea entry into the parsed document so user comments and unrelated settings are
preserved; emit `enabled: true` since Hermes connects entries unless disabled.
- ClientRegistrationStatus: forward the Hermes location variables so status
checks resolve the same path as setup.
- Tests: cover path resolution on both platforms and the register/read/uninstall
round trip, and clear the Hermes location variables between tests.

Deliver complete Evidence directly through MCP with required nullable analysis profiles and immutable per-server delivery settings. Bind selected environments at construction and require typed cleanup outcomes with retained retry ownership.
Remove test-only routing, duplicate session and snapshot metadata, producer-field repairs, and ambiguous provider arguments. Separate artifact byte identity from occurrence classification and retain typed source-map and partial native facts across CLI, MCP, and verifier consumers.
BREAKING CHANGE: obsolete Evidence envelopes, session aliases, incomplete snapshots, and missing normalized producer facts are no longer accepted.
* perf(setup): reuse initial diagnostics during planning
* test(setup): verify post-configuration doctor refresh
* style(setup): remove extra test spacing
* refactor(domain): consolidate canonical ordering and digest helpers (#624)
* refactor(domain): consolidate canonical ordering and digest helpers
Single owner for code-point ordering (domain/canonicalOrdering.ts)
and canonical JSON digests (domain/comparisonSemantics.ts). Delete
all local compareCodePoints/compareText/digestCanonical duplicates
and migrate every importer. No re-export shims.
* fix(ci): allow slower real browser startup
* chore(config): remove dead eslint, dedupe scripts, cacheable turbo tasks
Delete eslint.config.js (oxlint is the linter), drop lint:dead alias,
pin smol-toml, fold jscpd/scan:todos into check:pr, make test:run
cacheable, align oxlint ignores.
* fix(config): hash all test inputs for cached runs
* docs: fix architecture diagram and pretty-print tool catalog
Drop dangling REPLAY edges, add dotnet/reference/error/evaluation
nodes. Emit 2-space JSON from the catalog generator and regenerate.
* test: extract shared fixtures, drop knip carve-outs
Dedupe android/apple session tests, bundler adapter headers, and
reconstruction helpers into tests/support fixtures. Delete unused
type aliases and the knip ignoreIssues block. Lower jscpd threshold
2.7 to 2.5.
* refactor(app): split Setup and ProcessOwnership modules
Extract SetupTypes/SetupHost from Setup.ts and move observation
helpers into ProcessOwnershipObservation/ProcessTree. Migrate all
importers including CLI commands. No re-export shims.
* feat(setup)!: expand agent integrations and simplify onboarding
Add native configuration formats for OpenCode, Antigravity, GitHub Copilot
CLI, VS Code, and Devin. Preserve JSONC comments and unrelated settings
while making setup and uninstall ownership-aware and idempotent.
Select agent targets before planning, separate discovery from intent, and
keep agent-only setup independent of optional provider prerequisites.
Cover configuration boundaries and interactive behavior in packaged checks.
BREAKING CHANGE: unscoped setup refreshes only existing REA-owned
registrations. Use --all-detected to configure every detected client.
Setup JSON contains a compact doctor summary; use rea doctor for full
diagnostics. Cancellation and successful dry runs now exit successfully.
* feat(cli)!: replace upgrade with verified updates
Resolve an exact release through npm's configured registry, update only the
identified installation, and verify its new executable before reporting success.
Return a read-only maintenance plan for existing enabled REA integrations.
BREAKING CHANGE: replace rea upgrade with rea update; no alias is retained.
Successful update JSON uses status "updated", reports the verified installed
version, and returns an unapplied maintenance plan instead of opening setup.
