Desktop app stuck with persistent spinner/activity indicator after reinstall; daemon/CLI state inconsistent

[Relaxe111]

Summary

Paseo desktop UI appears stuck with a persistent yellow activity/spinner indicator. Reinstalling Paseo did not fix it.

The app sometimes appears to connect to the daemon in logs, but the UI remains stuck / unusable. The daemon and CLI state also seem inconsistent.

Environment

• macOS: 26.5.2, build 25F84
• Paseo version in daemon logs: 0.2.5
• Machine: MacBook Pro
• Workspace path involved: /Users/igor/carasent/asma-modules

What I Tried

1. Restarted Paseo daemon several times.
2. Quit and reopened the desktop app.
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled Paseo.
4. Issue still persists.

Current Symptoms

• Desktop app shows a persistent yellow spinner/activity indicator.

• UI does not recover after reinstall.

• Health check fails:

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:6767/api/health
# exit code 7 / connection failed

Earlier CLI State Before Reinstall

Before reinstall, paseo daemon status repeatedly showed:

Local Daemon      unresponsive
Connected Daemon  unreachable
Listen            127.0.0.1:6767
Note              Local daemon PID is running but websocket at 127.0.0.1:6767 is not reachable

Relevant Log Observations

~/.paseo/daemon.log shows the daemon starting and the app connecting, but then there are repeated disconnect/reconnect events and slow websocket requests. Examples from the log:

{"daemonVersion":"0.2.5","msg":"Client connected via hello"}
{"daemonVersion":"0.2.5","msg":"Client disconnected; waiting for reconnect"}
{"daemonVersion":"0.2.5","requestType":"fetch_agent_timeline_request","msg":"ws_slow_request"}
{"daemonVersion":"0.2.5","requestType":"checkout_status_request","msg":"ws_slow_request"}
{"daemonVersion":"0.2.5","requestType":"checkout_pr_status_request","msg":"ws_slow_request"}

There are also log entries showing Codex turns starting, even while the desktop UI appears stuck:

{"daemonVersion":"0.2.5","provider":"codex","model":"gpt-5.5","msg":"Starting Codex app-server turn"}

Expected Behavior

After reinstall and daemon restart, the desktop app should connect cleanly and the spinner/activity indicator should disappear when no work is running.

Actual Behavior

The desktop app remains visually stuck with the spinner/activity indicator. Reinstalling the app did not resolve it.

This is a plausible current desktop/daemon failure, but the available evidence does not yet identify a reproducible path.

Please add:

• The desktop app and CLI versions. The report currently identifies only daemon 0.2.5.
• The shortest steps from a fresh app launch to the stuck state, including which workspace or agent is selected and whether it happens on every launch.
• Whether the desktop app is connecting directly to the local daemon or through a paired/relay connection.
• A screenshot or short recording showing the yellow indicator and which UI actions remain unusable.
• The raw, sanitized sections of ~/.paseo/daemon.log and ~/Library/Logs/Paseo/main.log spanning one launch and occurrence. Please include timestamps and surrounding lines rather than summaries.
