Centralize canonical system/user and deterministic renamed-bundle path facts. Reuse the installer destination and honor the same local candidates in doctor and runtime; scan renamed bundles only after canonical candidates fail. Preserve explicit path spelling and exclusive selection. Homebrew command probing remains doctor-only with explicit runtime configuration guidance.
Validation: owner, config, setup and doctor tests cover canonical priority and renamed paths; public CLI verifies explicit path preservation without launching Hopper. No real Hopper analysis claimed.

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.

* fix(host): separate REA host support from Hopper installer targets
LinuxDistribution.supported carried two meanings at once: that the host runs
REA, and that the automated Hopper installer is tested on it. The doctor read
the first meaning from the second, so Debian-derived hosts such as Kali
reported unsupported_host while their providers worked normally.
Rename the field to hopperSetupSupported, which only the Hopper installer and
setup planning consume, and derive host support from the package family
through supportsReaHost(). Any distribution with a recognized apt, dnf, or
pacman family is now a REA host. The tested Hopper installer list is
unchanged, so Debian and Kali keep falling back to configuring an existing
provider instead of downloading an untested package.
Verified on Kali 2026.3 (Debian testing, x86_64): rea doctor reports a healthy
environment with Ghidra 12.1.4, and analyze_function decompiles an x86_64 ELF
through the MCP server. npm run check, npm run docs:check, and the application
and Ghidra suites pass. No Hopper or IDA host workflow was exercised.

* 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.

* fix: order remaining outputs independently of host locale
String.prototype.localeCompare without a pinned collation follows the
host's ICU default locale, so the same input could be ordered differently
on different machines. 614fb768 moved canonical domain projections to
compareUnicodeCodePoints; provider, application, catalog, and setup
orderings still used locale collation.
Order every remaining source site by Unicode code point, including Mach-O
symbols, firmware extraction paths, ASAR entries (previously pinned to
"en" collation), evidence ID sets, browser and Electron target, script,
and resource inventories, reconstruction obligations, capability and
provider listings, and setup environment details.
The current tool and prompt catalog names order identically under both
comparators, so the catalog identity digest is unchanged.
* fix(artifacts): order ASAR entries by their portable path
@electron/asar lists host-spelled paths, so code-point order over the raw
spelling still differed by host: "a\b" sorts after "a0" on Windows while
"a/b" sorts before it on POSIX. Pair each listing with its portable
archive path once, order by that path, and keep the host spelling for
@electron/asar calls and adapter keys.
* 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.
* feat(clients): register Grok Build and Grok Bot during setup
Detect both clients and install the local REA MCP registration the same
way setup already handles the other agents. Grok Build edits only the
REA tables in its TOML config and sets startup_timeout_sec to 30. Grok
Bot writes the mcpServers.rea entry into mcp.json. That file is the
registration to add to the signed-in account; setup does not call the
account API.
Filed by Grok.
* fix(clients): clear a disabled Grok Build registration during setup
Grok Build keeps a server suppressed when its name stays in
disabled_mcp_servers, and setup was treating that file as already aligned.
Setup now removes only that name, doctor reports the registration stale until
it is gone, and uninstall keeps comments in an inline table whose only server
was REA. Split the lifecycle suite and reflow the get-started page so static
checks pass.
* fix(verify): check packed Hopper search as literal-only
The package verifier still called a regex probe that main deleted. The
native bridge refuses regex and joins string hits with typed records, so
the restored probe stubs that inventory and the check asserts the literal
matches and the regex refusal. The new README translations also name
Grok Build and Grok Bot.
* fix(clients): stop treating a Grok Bot data directory as registered
Grok Bot stores connectors in the signed-in account and runs them on its
hosted computer. Setup no longer writes mcp.json or reports that file as
aligned. Doctor and setup tell the caller to add the server from the
Grok Bot chat.
* fix(clients): drop multiline Grok disable-list entries
Decode disabled_mcp_servers strings with the document parser so a
multiline basic or literal string that loads as rea is removed.

* 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

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.
