 | `package.json` (root) | `name` `opencode` → `codev-code`; `repository.url` → `github.com/quickbeard/codev-code`; added `release` script delegating to packages/opencode; added `bump` script pointing at the fork-only `script/bump-version.ts`; removed the `sso`, `dev:stats`, and `random` scripts; added the `lint-staged` devDependency and a `lint-staged` config block (`"*": "prettier --write --ignore-unknown"`) driving the fork-only `.husky/pre-commit` | The root manifest carries the fork's name (nothing reads it — root is private and unpublished; `packages/script` reads only `packageManager` — so this is cosmetic and also removes the name collision with the `packages/opencode` workspace member, whose name MUST stay `opencode`: build.ts derives bun compile targets and dist dir names from it). `bun run release` and `bun run bump` work from the repo root. `sso` logs into upstream's AWS org (`--sso-session=opencode`) and `dev:stats` runs inside an sst shell against upstream's production stage — neither works without anomalyco credentials; `random` is inert cruft (`echo 'Random script'`). `lint-staged` keeps staged files at Prettier's fixed point on commit, so the formatting drift PR #261 had to clean up cannot silently reaccumulate; `--ignore-unknown` skips files Prettier has no parser for (`bun.lock`, `.husky/*`, binaries) and `.prettierignore` still exempts `DIVERGENCES.md` and the docs merge base. | Keep our name + release/bump lines and the removals (drop any new upstream-infra-only scripts too); take upstream's other fields. |
 | `packages/opencode/package.json` | bin key `opencode` → `codev` (shim path `./bin/opencode` unchanged); added `release` script; added dependencies `"@codev/brand": "workspace:*"`, `"@codev/gateway": "workspace:*"` (the latter for the gateway-key migration's shared-auth-file read, see the config.ts migration row), and `"@codev/upload": "workspace:*"` (the session uploader — see the session-upload wiring row) | Installed command is `codev` — matches the CLI's `scriptName` and help text (the hub's command is `codevhub`; it relinquished the `codev` bin in codev-ai ≥ 0.4.0). `bun run release` publishes the version in this file (upstream-synced; script/release.ts is fork-only). | Keep our bin key, release line, and dependency lines; take upstream's other fields including `version`. |
 | Session-upload wiring: `packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui.ts`, `packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/run.ts`, `packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/debug/index.ts` | tui.ts + run.ts: `spawnUploadDaemon()` (from the fork-only `@codev/upload` package) fire-and-forgotten at handler start — spawns a detached, unref'd, stdio-ignored `codev debug upload` child. debug/index.ts: registered the fork-only `UploadCommand` (debug/upload.ts, new file), the entry that child runs. | Standalone parity with the hub's launch-time upload daemon: every agent launch ships prior codev sessions to the analysis backend in the background. All gating (opt-out env `CODEV_DISABLE_AUTO_UPLOAD`, signed-in check, the hub-shared lockfile) lives inside `@codev/upload` — the wiring is one guarded call per entry point that can never block or fail the launch. | Keep the import + `spawnUploadDaemon()` line in both handlers and the debug registration; take upstream's surrounding changes. |
-| Desktop session upload: `packages/desktop/src/main/sidecar.ts`, `packages/desktop/src/main/server.ts`, `packages/desktop/src/main/index.ts`, `packages/desktop/package.json` | sidecar.ts: after `Server.listen` succeeds, fire `runStartupUpload()` (from the fork-only `@codev/upload`, statically imported so electron-vite bundles it), and handle a `{type: "upload", servers?}` sidecar command that re-runs it — runs are chained on an in-process promise (the hub-shared lockfile makes a concurrent run skip, not queue, so an unchained sandbox run posted right after startup's local run would silently drop its work sessions). server.ts: `SidecarListener` gains `upload(servers?)` (posts that command with structured-clone-safe `ServerSource` records; no-op once exited). index.ts: `sandboxUploadSources()` maps every `ready` sandbox to a source (`runtime.url`/`username`/`password` + `config.projectDir`, the HOST dir, so a project's local and sandboxed sessions land in one analysis bucket); a `sandboxes.subscribe` diff fires `server?.upload(sources)` whenever a sandbox newly reaches ready (its whole history becomes readable at that moment), with a post-`initialize` catch-up for sandboxes ready before the sidecar listened; the gateway-sso `onConfigured` hook also calls `server?.upload(sandboxUploadSources())` so a fresh sign-in ships the backlog (work sessions included) immediately, and startup shows an OS `Notification` ("Session upload is paused") when `@codev/upload/nudge`'s `shouldNudgeSignIn()` reports the stall — the desktop counterpart of the TUI toast, every launch until sign-in. package.json: `"@codev/upload": "workspace:*"` under devDependencies — deliberately, like `@codev/gateway`: electron-vite externalizes `dependencies` into the (unshipped) runtime node_modules, and only devDependency workspace packages get bundled. | The desktop runs the server in-process under Electron's Node with no `codev` CLI in the bundle, so the CLI's detached `codev debug upload` spawn cannot cover it; running the uploader inside the sidecar utility process (never Electron main, which is UI-latency sensitive) reuses the whole pipeline — same store (the sidecar only overrides `XDG_STATE_HOME`), same shared auth file, same hub-shared lockfile, so desktop, CLI, and hub can never upload concurrently. The `#sqlite` bun/node conditional import inside `@codev/upload` (same pattern as the server core's `#db`) is what lets the identical package run on `bun:sqlite` in the CLI binary and `node:sqlite` in the sidecar. | Keep the sidecar `upload` command + startup trigger, the listener's `upload()`, the `onConfigured` call + startup Notification, and the devDependency placement; take upstream's surrounding changes. |

 | `bun.lock` | Mirrors the bin key rename above, the fork-only workspace packages/deps (`@codev/gateway`, `@codev/brand`, `@codev/upload`), and the fork-only `lint-staged` devDependency | Lockfile records workspace bin mappings and workspace deps. Known quirk: the root workspace stanza still says `"name": "opencode"` — bun never syncs the root manifest's name into an existing lock (verified: neither `bun install` nor `--lockfile-only` rewrites it); it self-corrects only on a from-scratch regeneration and is harmless meanwhile. Don't hand-edit it. | Regenerate with `bun install`; never hand-merge. |
 | `.prettierignore` | Appended `DIVERGENCES.md` and `packages/web/src/content/docs/` (each with a comment saying why) | Prettier realigns every row of this file's changed-files table, so a one-row edit churns all ~120 rows — noise in the one file that records upstream-conflict guidance, and a guaranteed conflict on the next sync. Nothing in the repo formatted it before (the pre-push hook only runs `bun typecheck`), so this pins the status quo rather than changing it. The docs directory is the upstream merge base (see `packages/web/FORK-DOCS.md`): nothing builds it, its whole job is to surface upstream doc diffs during a sync, and formatting it only adds conflict surface — plus Prettier's MDX printer mangles `index.mdx`, collapsing the fenced code blocks inside `<TabItem>` into inline text. | Keep our lines; take upstream's other entries. |
 | `packages/tui/package.json` | Added dependencies `"@codev/gateway": "workspace:*"`, `"@codev/brand": "workspace:*"`, and `"@codev/upload": "workspace:*"` (the latter's `/nudge` + `/spawn` subpaths only — sqlite-free modules for the upload sign-in toast and the post-configure daemon respawn) | The fork's gateway configure dialog imports SSO/backend/config-block logic from the fork-only `packages/codev-gateway`; the "Open docs" command takes its URL from `DOCS_URL` in the fork-only `packages/codev-brand` instead of hardcoding the host. | Keep our dependency lines; take upstream's other fields. |
