runpane handoff "<destination>" --note-file <path|-> [--machine <name>] [--agent <codex|claude|cursor>] [--model <model>] [--effort <level>] [--repo <selector>] [--push] [--dry-run] [--json]

<destination>

Freeform text naming the agent (claude, codex, cursor), and optionally the model, the effort, and the machine: a Tailscale machine name or unique prefix (list them with runpane workspace list), or "this machine". Required unless --agent is given. Examples: "codex gpt-5 high on parsas-macbook-pro", "claude opus on parsa-devbox", "cursor on this machine".

--template

Print the note template, with this checkout's origin and git state in its front matter, and exit.

--note-file <path|->

--repo <selector>

Saved repository on the destination. Defaults to the one with a remote for this repository.

--push

Commit uncommitted work (except the note) as WIP and push the branch before sending; never forces. Without it, an unpushed branch stops the handoff.

--dry-run

Check destination daemon reachability and resolve its saved repository name, path, environment and OS; print the note check and git state without committing, pushing, fetching, writing notes or creating a Pane.

--json

Wait for workspace agent and Pane transitions using a daemon-held cursor.

runpane watch [--as <name>|--since <generation>] [--follow] [--format <lines|json>] [--heartbeat <seconds>] [--idle-after <ms>] [--settle <ms>] [--blocked-settle <ms>] [--min-interval <ms>] [--idle-backoff] [--all-managed|--pane <id>|--session <id|name>] [--include-shells] [--self-test] [--quiet] [--kinds <kind,...>] [--repo <selector>] [--name-contains <text>] [--timeout-ms <ms>] [--from <now|earliest>] [--json] [--pane-dir <path>]

--as <consumer-name>

Use a persisted named cursor (at-least-once delivery): 1-128 letters, numbers, dots, underscores, or hyphens (daemons before this release accept 64). Default under --follow: session-<uuid> with --session (session-<name> for a name; shortened to session-<sha256 prefix> when longer than 64 characters), else PANE_PANEL_ID when set, shortened to panel-<sha256 prefix> when it is longer than 64 characters; otherwise anonymous.

--since <generation>

Use an explicit generation cursor instead of a name. Cannot be combined with --as, or with --settle, --blocked-settle, --min-interval.

--from <now|earliest>

Starting point for a new named cursor. Default now (silent baseline); earliest replays the journal.

--follow

Continue waiting until interrupted. Required by every cadence flag.

--format <lines|json>

Output format. Default lines in every mode; --json selects json.

--heartbeat <seconds>

Healthy-silence bound; a HEARTBEAT line proves the watcher is alive. Default 60 under --follow, 0 otherwise. Any monitor that wakes an agent should pass --quiet, which drops it.

--idle-after <milliseconds>

IDLE fires after a READY panel has stayed idle this long, then re-fires every multiple. Default 600000 under --follow, 0 otherwise.

--settle <milliseconds>

Opt-in (follow only): emit READY only after the panel stays idle this long; a BUSY, BLOCKED, UNKNOWN, EXIT, or GONE inside the window cancels it silently. Default 0. Use when a pane flips idle/working while it waits on subagents; the unattended orchestrator value is 180000, the user-present value 60000.

--blocked-settle <milliseconds>

Opt-in (follow only): emit BLOCKED only after this window; an in-pane answer inside it cancels the line. Default 0. The unattended orchestrator value is 30000, the user-present value 15000.

--min-interval <milliseconds>

Opt-in (follow only): hold READY, IDLE, NEW, GONE, EXIT, and UNKNOWN lines and flush them together at most once per interval; BLOCKED, REPORT, pr.conflicted, and failed pr.checks bypass it and carry the held lines with them. Default 0. The unattended orchestrator value is 600000, the user-present value 120000.

--idle-backoff

Opt-in (follow only): IDLE fires at --idle-after, then 30m, 1h, 3h, then daily per panel; any activity resets the schedule. Default off (fixed multiples of --idle-after).

--kinds <kind,...>

Limit event kinds: agent.ready, agent.busy, agent.blocked, agent.unknown, agent.idle, pane.created, pane.gone, panel.exited, agent.report, pane.associated, pane.detached, pr.conflicted, pr.checks, pr.merged. agent.report arrives only when listed explicitly. Default all, except that pane.associated, pane.detached, and the pr.* kinds arrive only when listed here or implied by --session. Drop agent.busy for any consumer that acts on lines; BUSY carries no action.

--pane <pane-id>

Limit to a Pane; repeatable. Default all managed panes. Cannot be combined with --session.

--session <id|name>

Follow every Pane associated with a named Session (id or exact name). The daemon re-reads membership on every read, so a Pane associated after arming is included and a detached or archived Pane drops out without a re-arm. The Session's own orchestrator panels are never reported. Cannot be combined with --pane or --all-managed; an unknown Session fails.

--exclude-pane <pane-id>

Exclude a Pane; repeatable.

--repo <selector>

Limit to a saved repository (active, id, path, or name). Default all repositories.

--name-contains <text>

Limit by Pane name substring.

--agents-only

Limit to CLI agent panels. Default on under --follow.

--all-managed

Explicit spelling of the default scope: every non-archived, non-hidden managed Pane. Cannot be combined with --pane.

--include-shells

Include ordinary shell panels.

--timeout-ms <milliseconds>

Wait timeout per request; 0 polls once. Default 60000, capped at 120000 (the follow loop re-issues requests).

--limit <count>

Maximum entries per response. Default 256.

--ack-now

At-most-once named-cursor delivery (advance before you act). Default at-least-once.

--include-held-input

Include up to 120 characters of unsubmitted composer text in JSON entries. Default off: under --follow, JSON entries carry only heldInputPresent: true.

--no-held-input

Disable redacted held-input detection under --follow: no STUCK lines, and no heldInputPresent in JSON.

--self-test

Probe the watch path anonymously without advancing a named cursor; run it before arming --follow.

--quiet

Drop the control lines that only prove liveness: WATCH OK, HEARTBEAT, and WATCH RECONNECTED (_ok, _heartbeat, _reconnected in JSON). WATCH ERROR/_error, RESET/_reset, and DROPPED/_dropped always print, and --self-test still prints its WATCH OK result. Alias: --no-control-lines.

--json

Emit structured NDJSON; held-input content remains opt-in.

--pane-dir <path>

Connect to a specific Pane data directory.

--pane-dir <path>

Connect to a specific Pane data directory.

runpane watch --self-test

runpane watch --follow

runpane watch --as monitor --follow --quiet --json

runpane watch --follow --quiet --kinds agent.ready,agent.blocked,agent.idle,panel.exited,pane.gone --settle 180000 --blocked-settle 30000 --min-interval 600000 --idle-backoff

runpane watch --follow --quiet --kinds agent.ready,agent.blocked,agent.idle,panel.exited,pane.gone --settle 60000 --blocked-settle 15000 --min-interval 120000

runpane watch --session <id|name> --follow --quiet --json --kinds agent.ready,agent.blocked,agent.idle,panel.exited,pane.gone,pane.associated,pane.detached,pr.conflicted,pr.checks,pr.merged --settle 180000 --blocked-settle 30000 --min-interval 600000 --idle-backoff

runpane watch --session <id|name> --follow --quiet --json --kinds agent.ready,agent.blocked,agent.idle,panel.exited,pane.gone,pane.associated,pane.detached,pr.conflicted,pr.checks,pr.merged --settle 60000 --blocked-settle 15000 --min-interval 120000

Defaults stay responsive: no settle, no batching, all kinds, IDLE every --idle-after. Cadence flags are opt-in for expensive consumers and require --follow.

Unattended profile (what Pane Chat arms automatically, for overnight or background runs): runpane watch --self-test, then runpane watch --follow --quiet --kinds agent.ready,agent.blocked,agent.idle,panel.exited,pane.gone --settle 180000 --blocked-settle 30000 --min-interval 600000 --idle-backoff. Budget: about 6 wake-ups per active pane per hour worst case, usually 1-3; READY can arrive up to about 13 minutes after the turn ended.

User-present profile (a person is waiting on the result): the same command with --settle 60000 --blocked-settle 15000 --min-interval 120000 and no --idle-backoff. READY arrives within about 3 minutes of the turn ending.

BUSY carries no action; drop it with --kinds. HEARTBEAT is client-side proof of life and is never shaped by cadence flags; pass --quiet for any monitor that wakes an agent.

STUCK means real unsubmitted composer text. An agent prompt suggestion (for example a grey Try "..." hint) never counts.

Dead watch: judge death by a non-zero exit or a WATCH ERROR line, not by silence. If the message says the cursor was superseded, keep the replacement monitor and do not re-arm the old one. Otherwise re-arm once; if it dies again, file runpane doctor --report. Stop the previous monitor before switching profiles.

Cadence state is held per named consumer; an anonymous --follow with a cadence flag names itself follow-<pid>. Held lines survive a reconnect of the same consumer; a changed filter re-delivers them under the new filter.

Journal loss is surfaced through reset and dropped metadata.

The daemon treats omitted idleAfterMs as disabled so older clients never receive agent.idle unexpectedly.

Control lines are not journal entries. JSON kinds and their lines-format text: _ok (WATCH OK, once when armed), _heartbeat (HEARTBEAT, every --heartbeat seconds), _reconnected (WATCH RECONNECTED, after a retried daemon error), _error (WATCH ERROR, a daemon error; the process exits 2 unless --follow retries it), _reset (RESET, the journal restarted or the cursor fell behind; a fresh baseline follows), and _dropped (DROPPED, entries lost to journal truncation). --quiet drops _ok, _heartbeat, and _reconnected; _error, _reset, and _dropped always print.

Under --follow, JSON entries for panels holding unsubmitted composer text carry heldInputPresent: true, the JSON equivalent of the STUCK line. --no-held-input turns this off.

--session <id|name> scopes the watch to a named Session. The daemon resolves the Session once per request and its associated Panes on every read, so sessions associate and sessions detach take effect without a re-arm; archived and detached Panes drop out, and the Session's own orchestrator panels are excluded. Cadence state is keyed by the Session, not its current Panes, so membership changes keep held lines. A detached Pane's held lines are dropped.

Under --session, pane.associated (JOINED <pane-name> pane <pane-id> session <session-id>) and pane.detached (LEFT ...) report membership changes; list them in --kinds next to the agent kinds. Other consumers receive them only when --kinds lists them, so older clients never see an unknown kind.

PR events (decision D7): about every 3 minutes (jittered) the daemon visits each Pane associated with a live Session (none: no gh at all), finds its PR by branch when no open PR is known yet (gh pr list --head, so unwatched workers' new and reopened PRs are found), runs gh pr view on an open PR, and appends pr.conflicted (PR <pane-name> pane <pane-id> #<number> CONFLICTED: the PR now conflicts with its base), pr.checks (... CHECKS PASSED, or CHECKS FAILED <up to five names>: every check on the head commit finished), and pr.merged (... MERGED). Entries carry pr: {number, url, headOid}, plus checks and failingChecks for pr.checks. They fire on transitions only: the first poll of a PR after the daemon starts only records its state, so re-check conflicts after a restart with gh pr view. pr.conflicted and failed pr.checks bypass --min-interval like BLOCKED. Like JOINED/LEFT, they reach a consumer only under --session or when --kinds lists them. Without gh, or while it is signed out or rate limited, polling backs off (up to an hour) and no PR entries arrive.

A daemon that predates --session returns no session field; runpane then fails with WATCH ERROR instead of watching every Pane.

Replay: after a reset (RESET/_reset), the baseline restates current state. In JSON, those entries carry replay: true (and changedWhileAway: true after an epoch change). A replayed agent.ready is never READY: re-read runpane sessions overview instead of acting on it. Lines mode prints only CHANGED for them.

agent.report (REPORT <pane-name> pane <pane-id> panel <panel-id> <state> [pr#<n>] [<head>][: <question>]) is a worker's runpane report. It is opt-in: only a consumer that lists it in --kinds receives it. It bypasses --min-interval, and orchestrators treat it as the completion signal; a READY without a report means look, and maybe nudge.

1 feature = 1 worktree = 1 branch = 1 Pane; reviews, audits, fixes and QA for it are tabs in that Pane. Create a Pane (a new worktree) only when the work's branch has no Pane yet; for review, audit, fix or QA on existing work use `panels create --pane <id>`.

runpane panes archive --pane <pane-id> [--source user|agent] [--force] [--remove-worktree] [--dry-run] --yes [--json] [--pane-dir <path>]
runpane panes archive --session <id|name> --merged [--remove-worktree] [--source user|agent] [--dry-run] --yes [--json] [--pane-dir <path>]

If you adopted an existing worktree, archiving its pane leaves that directory in place by default. Add --remove-worktree only when you want Pane to remove it too. The same safety checks apply.

--pane <pane-id>

Pane/session id to archive. Required unless --session is used.

--source <user|agent>

Mutation source; does not change archive safety behavior.

--force

Archive even if the pane's branch has uncommitted, untracked, or unpushed changes.

--remove-worktree

Also check and remove an adopted Pane's worktree. Pane-managed worktrees are always removed; the local branch is always kept.

--session <id|name>

Archive the Panes associated with this named Session instead of one Pane. Requires --merged.

--merged

With --session, archive only Panes that are clean and pushed, or merged via a pull request; skip the rest with a reason.
