Surfaces pending risky command requests from `2fadod` and lets a human approve, deny, or acknowledge them without leaving Paseo. The plugin also registers a sidebar item, a workspace header button, and a command-center entry so the queue is one tap away. > **⚠️ WIP — use at your own risk.** Not release-ready; APIs and behavior may change without notice. Built on [paseo-plugin-helper](https://github.com/xpufx/paseo/tree/main/packages/paseo-plugin-helper), the shared Paseo plugin runtime. > [!NOTE] > **Prerequisites & Platform Support**: > - Requires a `2fadod`; the daemon is reached over a unix socket. The plugin > acquires the platform binary during install and can supervise the daemon > directly when no external one is running. The socket path is configurable > and otherwise falls back to `$TWOFADO_SOCKET`, `$FADO_SOCKET`, then > `/tmp/2fado.sock`. > - Developed and tested primarily on **Linux**. ##### What it does - **Pending queue.** Each request shows the argv, caller, host, working directory, expiry, and (when provided) a code preview with resolved binary, risk level, affected path count, and sample paths. - **Approve / deny.** A decision is submitted for the request id; two-step confirmations are distinguished, and notify-only petitions expose an **Ack** action instead of a binding verdict. - **Interactive questions.** `kind: "ask"` petitions render the question, recommended option, and single- or multi-select option buttons plus an optional write-in answer; submitting calls `approval.select`, which forwards the daemon's `select` op. First-selection-wins: a resolved petition (from Telegram or another client) locks the card to its chosen answer. - **Policy shortcuts.** From a pending item, save an always-approve or always-deny rule scoped to the exact argv, the resolved binary's base, or a custom matcher. - **History.** Recently decided requests are listed with decision, decided-by, exit code, and a truncated output preview. - **Health.** The header reports daemon reachability and a down state when the socket cannot be probed. - **Companion daemon lifecycle.** When no external daemon serves the configured socket, the plugin acquires the platform `2fado` binary during install (`scripts/install-companion.mjs`) and supervises the daemon process in Node (`scripts/daemon-supervisor.mjs`). The settings tab exposes process state, PID/uptime, start/stop/restart, on-demand binary install, and the supervised log ring buffer. An external daemon (systemd or standalone) is adopted, never killed by the plugin. - **Notification target.** Choose whether notifications go to Telegram, the Paseo client, or both; Telegram bot token, chat id, and approver list are configurable in settings. ##### RPC contracts (`shared/approval.ts`) - `approval.list` / `approval.recent`: pending and recently decided requests, including `ask` question/options/selection fields. - `approval.verdict` / `approval.ack` / `approval.select`: record an approve/deny decision, acknowledge a notify-only petition, or answer an interactive `ask` question. - `approval.status` / `approval.health`: per-request status and daemon probe. `approval.health` also reports the daemon's advertised ops so the surface can tell an `ask` card it cannot submit yet when the daemon lacks the `select` op. - `approval.telegram_info` / `approval.telegram_set_config`: read and sync the daemon-side notification configuration. - `approval.policy_add_rule`: persist a policy rule derived from a request. - `daemon.status` / `daemon.start` / `daemon.stop` / `daemon.restart` / `daemon.logs` / `daemon.install`: supervised daemon lifecycle, log ring buffer, and on-demand companion binary acquisition. - `twofado.settings`: socket path, notification target, Telegram config, and companion auto-start. ##### Install Install from npm: ```sh paseo plugin add npm:@xpufx/paseo-twofado ``` Or install directly from the Git repository: ```sh paseo plugin add xpufx/paseo --path plugins/twofado ``` ##### Development ```sh npm run typecheck --workspace=plugins/twofado npm test --workspace=plugins/twofado ``` > [!NOTE] > Ask-card submission requires a 2fadod that advertises the `select` socket op. > Reference daemon builds today expose ask options on `list`/`status` but wire > selection only through the Telegram callback; when `select` is absent the card > renders read-only with an explicit "cannot submit" notice rather than > pretending the answer landed.
