The file-explorer mutation RPCs accepted `.git` as an ordinary worktree-relative path and destroyed it. `normalizeRuntimeRelativePath` rejects only `..`, absolute paths and empty segments — `.git` is an ordinary segment — and `resolveAuthorizedPath` only asserts the target is inside an allowed root, which a repository's own `.git` is. No protected-path policy existed anywhere in the runtime or relay. Reproduced on unfixed main before fixing: the real `deleteFileExplorerPath` removes a real `.git` directory while every working-tree file survives — the signature of the 2026-08-30 incident, on demand, with no source changes. The client-version check is not a protection: `assertRuntimeFileMutationExpectation` requires `expectedExecutionHostId`, but passing `'local'` is exactly what an ordinary client request produces, so it gates client version, not what may be deleted. New `src/shared/repository-admin-path.ts` classifies a path as repository admin state by whole path SEGMENT, so `.github`, `.gitignore`, `.gitattributes`, `.gitmodules`, `.gitkeep`, a file named `git` and a directory named `mygit` all stay mutable. It catches `.git` as a directory, `.git` as the `gitdir:` pointer file used by linked worktrees and submodules, anything inside `.git`, both separators, case variants, and the Win32 trailing-dot spelling. It fails closed: a path it cannot classify is treated as admin state. Enforced at the RPC boundary for source AND destination, so a rename or copy cannot substitute a `.git` either. Deliberately NOT in scope: the shared relay primitive (repo creation legitimately deletes a remote `.git` through it) and the direct Electron IPC lane, which the renderer falls back to for local targets and which is a real second hole needing its own ticket. 82 tests. Mutation-tested: neutering the guard turns 27 of them red.

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
