Desktop/CLI setup friction found while setting up groot + MBP #64

Open

Description

@kvnloo

Found during setup on 2026-10-14 and 2026-10-23 (report data/operations/t3code-setup.md) and later use.

# Problem State
1 Nightly on Arch: the AUR t3code-bin / t3code-nightly-bin packages can't self-update, so we switched to a writable AppImage. Worked around. Docs could say this.
2 t3 update downloaded 0.1.2 but left t3 pointing at the old desktop-managed Electron wrapper. The official install.sh fixed it. Similar to upstream 14609. Add a repro there.
3 The claude-history-home provider instance (second Claude home) reports error while canonical Claude is ready. Open, undiagnosed.
4 Usage misses OMP (~/.omp/agent/sessions; T3 reads only ~/.pi/agent/sessions) and has no Hermes reader. A patch for the OMP path exists but isn't tested or deployed. Hermes counters are cumulative per session, so they need care.
5 No CLI for settings or providers. Disabling Codex/Claude meant editing ~/.t3/userdata/settings.json by hand. Still true on upstream main (apps/server/src/cli has no settings command). Feature gap, needs Ideas approval.
6 Delegation picked Claude Code/Codex workers when the owner wanted everything in Hermes ("how can we stop t3code from launching codex or claude code"). Resolved by disabling those providers in settings.
7 The MBP's Hermes doesn't advertise ACP, and OMP session/new hangs while its MCP servers start. Harness-side, not T3.
8 The owner is on stable 0.1.2; upstream main has moved far ahead (doctor, triage, update changes). Update before reporting anything that may already be fixed.

T3 Connect login, S25 push, and desktop load-balancing were left as an owner checklist on 10-23 and are still unverified.

Acceptance

  • Update to the current release and re-check items 2–4.
  • File or join an upstream venue for each item that still reproduces.
