on Oct 5, 2026 Progress in #157 (dogfooding gap, linked from #5).
Scope: client-only project identity. A project with a GitHub remote is
github:<owner/name>, compared case-insensitively; hosts already strip.git. Folders without a GitHub remote stay[host, main checkout]. A project keeps every checkout, and this host's checkout is the target for creating channels and Archive inactive. Projects checked out only on teammates' hosts list those channels but can't start channels here until a checkout is opened (Cmd+O still only adds the project). The Channels sidebar shows my channels, then one owner-labeled section per teammate across all their hosts, each with a folded archived section. All Projects is one section per canonical project. Saved[host, path]selections migrate in the client. Channel stores, listings, and protocol are unchanged.Validated:
bun types,bun run ci, React Doctor, and a read-only check against real Canary listings (single host).
Pending: native Ace-dev UI check.
Not covered: no live two-host runtime was available (#10). Folder-only projects still differ across hosts.- changed the title

Identify a project by its repository, not a local path.
Status
Implementation merged in #157 (
1cc3f90). A project with a GitHub remote is identified asgithub:<owner/name>(case-insensitive) and keeps every checkout; folders without a GitHub remote stay identified by host and main checkout. Teammates' channels appear in owner-labeled sections, and creating channels and Archive inactive target this host's checkout. Type checks, lint, React Doctor and a read-only check against real single-host Canary listings passed (details).Remaining acceptance
Known limit: folder-only projects without a GitHub remote are not matched across hosts.
Tracked by #58. Migrated from TODO.md — During dogfooding.
