The people building Daintree.

Creator of Daintree. Builds the desktop habitat, the agent integration layer, and the review-first workflow the rest of the app is arranged around. Most weeks that means working across the whole stack rather than inside any one system.

Recent focus has been the project switcher and what its indicators actually mean: splitting liveness from demand, weighing running agents against waiting ones on every row, and making the grey dot mean agents will resume rather than something vaguer. Alongside that, MCP session handling (binding external sessions to a workspace, splitting routing from session origin, failing closed when a session is revoked mid-request) and a long run of terminal and pty fixes covering xterm attach recovery, paused renderers, and Windows PATH resolution.

Also covers the parts that don't show up in a feature list: packaging, the setup wizard, the application menu on Windows and Linux, fleet and pilot tooling, and the release process itself.

Works on dev preview, the in-app browser Daintree runs alongside a dev server so agents can see what they're actually building. It's the bridge between "code compiles" and "code works," and most of the sharp edges in it only turn up when real apps run through it.

Recent work has moved past the browser itself. Added a per-worktree dev server port registry with assignedUrl so parallel worktrees stop fighting over ports, built the agent flavor system with CCR discovery and custom flavor CRUD, and landed per-worktree remote compute lifecycle. On the preview side: an OAuth loopback flow so external auth redirects land back in the preview instead of a dead tab, an Open in Browser escape hatch for blocked cross-origin navigations, and --turbopack gated behind a settings toggle for Next.js 15 and above.

Also covers MCP session handling and the test harness around it: capturing the window registry when the server is enabled at runtime, protecting bound views from eviction, and a Playwright-free harness for the CDP renderer freeze.

Extended Daintree's built-in agent roster. Added Kiro CLI as a first-class agent, covering setup wizard integration, auth detection, and panel glue. Kiro users don't have to hand-roll a custom terminal recipe anymore.

Followed up with AWS SSO token support in the auth check, so Kiro users authenticating through an AWS identity center get detected correctly instead of bouncing through the setup flow on every launch. Also added Kiro to the README agent list and install section so newcomers evaluating the project can see the full agent lineup from the landing doc. Quiet, infrastructural work that makes agent onboarding invisible for a whole class of users.

Fixed a regression in the CodeMirror editor theme where fontFamily was falling through to the browser default instead of the configured monospace font. Small patch, wide reach. The Review Hub, the notes panel, and every diff surface in Daintree reads through that theme, so one missing token was visible on every code view in the app.

Works on test reliability. Most of the contributions land in the E2E suite and the Windows-specific paths that only break on CI, which is the least glamorous corner of the codebase and the one that decides whether a green build means anything.

Recent work: coverage for untested Windows kill and shell paths in the pty layer plus the write-error throttle, a fix for duplicate agent spawns when Enter arrives at the trust prompt, and a run of E2E repairs covering selector precision, adaptive timeouts in refreshActiveWindow, and null returns from getCurrentProject. Also resolved a batch of Windows CI failures traced to path separator and shell quoting differences.
