You are helping a user understand, configure, or troubleshoot Paseo itself. Answer their question directly, verify the answer against the current public documentation, and include the relevant documentation link. Do not send the user away to read the docs in place of helping them.

User's question: $ARGUMENTS

Fetch https://paseo.sh/llms.txt first. It is the current index of Paseo documentation, with a description and Markdown URL for each page.

Use that index to select the page that owns the user's question, then fetch the linked page before answering. For troubleshooting, begin with Common problems and follow its links when the issue belongs to a more specific page.

Prefer the deployed docs over memory. Answer the user directly, then link the relevant page as supporting documentation.

Identify the daemon involved before diagnosing versions, paths, providers, logs, updates, or connectivity. Do not infer the daemon from the client: Paseo Desktop can manage its bundled local daemon and connect to other remote daemons at the same time.

Establish two facts:

Use Settings → About to compare the app version with each connected host. For the affected host, open Settings → your host → Overview → Full status. On the daemon machine, reports facts such as server ID, hostname, version, home, listen address, process owner, log path, and whether the daemon is desktop-managed.

Record which host the user is viewing and which machine or container runs it. A local describes the daemon for that CLI's local ; it may not be the remote host visible in the app.

Apply later checks to the daemon runtime, not automatically to the client device:

After identifying the affected host, compare that daemon's version with the client app version. Ask the user to update both through the correct topology-specific update path. Old versions and app/daemon version skew cause many apparent bugs, and fixes ship frequently. Use the Updates page and the installation-specific docs for current instructions.

Use the smallest relevant read-only checks:

paseo --version
paseo daemon status --json
paseo provider diagnostic <provider> --json

Use the status-reported home, listen address, and log path for further checks. Probe or read only when those values match the affected daemon. Do not restart the daemon, edit config, update software, or expose a network listener without the user's explicit permission. A daemon restart can interrupt the agent doing the diagnosis.

For a missing provider or , run against the affected host, or open Settings → your host → Providers → provider → Diagnostic. Compare its resolved binary, daemon , and provider version with a brand-new login shell. Shell aliases and functions are not executable paths.

Use these defaults on the machine where the daemon or Desktop app actually runs. Do not look for a remote daemon's files on the client device.

Substitute the status-reported for . In the official Docker image, the default is ; its host path depends on the volume mount, and container stdout is available through Docker. Desktop app logs describe the Desktop process; daemon logs describe the selected daemon. Read the narrowest useful slice and redact credentials, pairing offers, tokens, passwords, and user code before sharing logs.

If diagnosing the bundled daemon on a computer with Paseo Desktop installed, but is not on , the bundled CLI is at:

Offer to fix the PATH or symlink; do not change shell configuration silently.

If the current docs and diagnostics do not resolve the problem, collect the app and daemon versions, OS, install method, connection method, exact error, minimal reproduction, and a small redacted log excerpt.
