A terminal session's agent runs inside a tmux pane; a structured session's

daemon is the ACP **client**; the adapter process, `claude-code-acp`, is the
ACP **agent** — it wraps Claude Code's own SDK and translates the model's
tool calls into ACP `session/update` notifications instead of drawing them to

## The adapter
`ADAPTER_BIN` (`claude-code-acp`) is resolved by walking `PATH` — the
session's own `PATH` env var if the spawn request set one, the daemon's
otherwise — and taking the first executable file named `claude-code-acp` on
it. Install it once per host:
The resolved structured command selects a provider adapter. Its binary is
resolved by walking the session's `PATH` (when set on the spawn request), then
the daemon's `PATH`, and taking the first executable with that name.
```sh
npm install -g --prefix ~/.local @zed-industries/claude-code-acp

| Command | Adapter binary | Install command | Provider detail |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `claude` | `claude-code-acp` | `npm install -g --prefix ~/.local @zed-industries/claude-code-acp` | Needs a logged-in Claude Code. |
| `codex` | `codex-acp` | `npm install -g --prefix ~/.local @agentclientprotocol/codex-acp` | Uses Codex CLI or adapter-configured authentication; it advertises model, reasoning-effort, agent-mode, and optional fast-mode configuration. |
That is `maestro_acp::INSTALL_COMMAND`, and it is not just documentation: it
is baked into `AcpError::AdapterMissing`'s message. When the adapter cannot
be found, spawn still creates the session — **Dead**, with that install
command as its `activity_detail` — so the sidebar names the fix instead of
the session silently never appearing (see `docs/INSTALL.md` for the full
install writeup, including the systemd `PATH` caveat). The adapter also needs
a logged-in Claude Code (`claude /login`); a missing login surfaces the same
way, via the adapter's own stderr tail in the failure message.
The selected install command is baked into `AcpError::AdapterMissing`. When an
adapter cannot be found, spawn still creates a **Dead** session with that
command as `activity_detail` (see `docs/INSTALL.md` for the systemd `PATH`
caveat). Provider authentication failures surface through the adapter's stderr
tail in the same field.
The handshake is bounded by `HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT` (60s) — long enough for a
slow machine to boot a node process and the Claude Code SDK behind it, never
long enough to hang a spawn indefinitely. Any handshake failure — missing
adapter, early exit, a protocol error, or the timeout — leaves no orphaned
process: `spawn` closes and reaps the child itself before returning the
error.

Declining all three keeps the daemon out of the file/terminal surface
entirely — the adapter already has direct access to the session's `cwd`, and
routing every read, write, and shell command through the daemon would only
add a hop with no new capability. Every other capability namespace ACP
defines (session extensions, auth, elicitation) is simply left at its
default; the daemon does not advertise support because `claude-code-acp` has
never asked for it, not because it was weighed and refused.

Codex and Claude differ in what they emit, not in this lifecycle. Codex maps
shell commands, file changes, MCP calls, web search, image generation/view,
reasoning, plans, and token usage into standard ACP chunks and tool calls;
those fold into the same eight rows. Codex's `available_commands_update` and
`session_info_update`, like equivalent Claude updates, remain opaque
`Notice` rows. Its `session/load` capability is required for daemon recovery
just as it is for Claude.
