v0.12.0

Added

• Multi-path daemon — one daemon, many working directories: A single chorus daemon can now serve multiple working directories via --cwd / CHORUS_DAEMON_CWDS / daemon.json cwds:[], opening one independent connection per cwd with no project binding. Each spawn runs in its own cwd; resume pins to the origin (host, cwd) connection and cross-cwd resume is rejected rather than silently misrouted. (#353)
• (agent, host, cwd) addressable daemon instances: Each (agent, host, cwd) is now individually visible and addressable across presence, @mention, task assignment, ad-hoc send, and the chat header. Path-first / host-conditional display with left/right truncation; presence is a collapsible per-cwd drill-down showing online instances only; pickers auto-pin a lone live instance and offer a secondary cwd picker when 2+ are live. A conversation whose origin cwd goes offline can be re-pointed to another online cwd of the same agent, preserving its sessionId. (#354)
• Idea-rooted pin-once-inherit (AgentInstance as a first-class actor): AgentInstance is promoted to a durable, third polymorphic assignee type (agent_instance), and the idea is the authoritative pin root — proposals / tasks / wakes for the same agent inherit the idea's pinned instance instead of each entity carrying its own pin. Soft (assignment) pins degrade gracefully to online-first when the instance is offline; hard (mention) pins stay notify-only. REST claim routes and chorus_pm_assign_task accept an optional instanceUuid. (#359)
• Comment agent @mentions render as online-status badges: Agent @mentions in the comment area become interactive badges — name + online dot, a click popover with identity (and cwd/host for a pinned mention), and an owner-only, online-only "Open conversation" button that opens the daemon chat focused on the agent or pinned instance. User mentions and all other surfaces are unchanged. (#358)
• Cursor-based infinite-scroll comments: UnifiedComments now first-paints only the newest page and auto-loads older pages on scroll, with a burst-safe SSE merge that no longer reloads the whole list. Additive cursor mode in listComments (selected by limit); the offset path and chorus_get_comments are byte-for-byte unchanged. (#360)

Fixed

• Pinned autonomous wakes hit the wrong cwd instance: A pinned @mention / task dispatch (and the elaboration_verified proposal-writing wake) woke any online instance because the daemon-side live wake was an agent-wide broadcast. Wakes are now routed directionally to the resolved online target connection via a deliver_turn control ping; offline pin = notify-only, no wake. (#357)
• chorus daemon didn't shut down gracefully: The server's SIGINT/SIGTERM handlers were registered unconditionally and pre-empted the daemon's graceful stop (stale presence, misleading message). Signal handlers are now confined to the server launch path so a daemon/login process shuts down through its own path. (#356)
• Instance picker: second cwd row unselectable: An id collision + label double-fire made the 2nd cwd unselectable once a conversation was open (and disabled mobile @mention "Pin instance"). Fixed across new-conversation, @mention (incl. mobile Pin), and assign. (#355)
• Assign Idea/Task modals overflowed short mobile viewports: Both assign modals now use a shared ScrollableDialog (capped at max-h-[85svh], pinned header/footer, single internal scroll region), keeping the Assign/Cancel buttons reachable with a soft keyboard. (#362)
• @mention cwd picker overflowed on mobile: The MentionInstancePickerDialog gains a mobile-safe svh-based layout with an internal-scroll list and is lifted above the idea detail panel's z-index. (#361)

Changed

• Daemon help & config documentation: Top-level chorus --help now matches the yolo-default posture (with --chorus-only as the opt-out), the multi-path daemon and the full ~/.chorus/daemon.json field set are documented in README (en + zh), and the startup banner shows the resolved daemon.json path.
