Referencia del esquema paneflow.json

Cada clave de paneflow.json con su tipo, valor por defecto, momento de aplicación y notas de runtime.

paneflow.json es un archivo JSON por usuario. Todas las claves son opcionales, y {} es una configuración válida. El loader Rust y los resolvers de runtime son la fuente del comportamiento; el JSON Schema publicado refleja las claves públicas para validación de editor y autocompletado.

Las claves top-level desconocidas se ignoran en runtime, pero el schema las marca en los editores. Un guardado válido se recarga con el watcher de configuración. Durante hot reload, un JSON inválido conserva la última configuración válida en vez de difundir defaults. En arranque, un archivo inválido cae a defaults y registra un warning.

Agent launcher buttons

Each button key is boolean/null. null or omission auto-detects the CLI binary. false hides the button. true forces it visible.

On Windows, the pane palette, the New pane menu, and the welcome screen offer only Claude Code, Codex, Amp, Gemini, and Copilot, the runtimes that declare Windows support, and hide agent_profiles entries based on the others. Linux and macOS keep every agent below.

terminal.cursor_shapestring/nullblockNew terminalvintage, block, beam, underline, double_underline, or hollow.
terminal.osc52_clipboardstring/nullcopyNueva vista de terminalDisponible desde v0.17.5. copy permite al terminal enfocado escribir en el portapapeles del sistema mediante OSC 52; off rechaza todas las escrituras OSC 52. Las lecturas del portapapeles mediante OSC 52 siempre se rechazan. Las vistas de terminal existentes conservan su configuración hasta que se vuelven a crear.
terminal.xt_checksum_reportboolean/nullfalseNueva sesiónDisponible desde v0.17.7. Responde a las solicitudes de checksum DECRQCRA (CSI Pi ; Pg ; Pt ; Pl ; Pb ; Pr * y), de las que dependen suites de conformidad como vttest y esctest. Desactivado por defecto porque un programa en ejecución puede calcular el checksum de la pantalla celda a celda y así volver a leer todo lo que muestra, incluida la salida de otros programas. Mientras está desactivado, XTCHECKSUM (CSI Ps # y) también se ignora. El host de sesiones lo lee cada vez que inicia una sesión.
terminal.xt_checksum_extensioninteger/null0Nueva sesiónDisponible desde v0.17.7. Cómo se calcula el checksum DECRQCRA, con los bits de XTCHECKSUM y del checksumExtension de xterm: 1 mantiene el resultado positivo, 2 omite los atributos de vídeo de las celdas, 4 cuenta los espacios en blanco, 8 cuenta como espacios las celdas nunca escritas, 16 usa puntos de código completos en lugar de valores DEC de 8 bits. 0 es el cálculo de un terminal DEC real. Rango 0 a 31. Un valor fuera de rango, como 32, -1, 1.5 o "4", solo descarta esta clave: vuelve a 0 con una advertencia que nombra la clave y el rango, y el resto del archivo se sigue aplicando, al iniciar y al recargar. Un reinicio completo (ESC c) vuelve a este valor.
terminal.cursor_blinkstring/nullterminal_controlledNew terminalon, off, or terminal_controlled.
terminal.envobject/nullnoneNew terminalEnvironment variables injected into every new terminal. Per-surface env wins. Values are passed through verbatim: no ~ and no $NAME expansion, unlike agent_profiles.*.env. Keys Paneflow sets for every terminal, such as TERM, ZDOTDIR, and the PANEFLOW_* variables, are ignored and logged once. LANG defaults to en_US.UTF-8 only when LANG, LC_ALL, and LC_CTYPE are all unset.
terminal.scroll_multipliernumber/null1.0New terminal viewRange 0.1 to 10.0. Ignored in mouse-reporting and alternate-screen scroll paths.
terminal.minimum_contrastnumber/nullAuto (60)Hot reloadMinimum APCA lightness contrast (Lc) enforced between text and its cell background, on the colors a program chose (truecolor and palette indices 16 to 255). The theme's sixteen ANSI colors, foreground, and background are never corrected. Unset means Auto, which is 60 on every theme; 0 turns the correction off; a negative or non-numeric value means Auto. Range 0 to 90.

agent_panel

KeyTypeDefaultNotes
agent_panel.notify_when_agent_waitingstring/nullNeverPrimaryScreen, AllScreens, or Never. Also governs desktop notifications that terminal programs send with OSC 9 or OSC 777.

agents

KeyTypeDefaultNotes
agents.restore_conversationsboolean/nulltrueWhen a pane's hosted session did not survive, for instance after a reboot, Paneflow opens a shell in the recorded folder and types the runtime's resume command for the conversation last started in that pane. Set to false to only reopen the shell.
agents.claude_preassign_session_idboolean/nullfalseThe Claude Code shim adds --session-id <uuid> to a fresh interactive claude launch, so Paneflow knows the conversation before any hook arrives. Read by panes started after the change.

worktrees

Paneflow crea un worktree git cuando abres una rama desde la paleta "New pane", el menú contextual de una pestaña o paneflow up. No se escribe nada dentro del checkout: el marcador de propiedad vive en el git dir propio del worktree (.git/worktrees/<name>/ en el repositorio principal), así que git status sigue limpio y el marcador desaparece con el worktree. Settings > Worktrees edita las mismas claves y lista los worktrees que Paneflow gestiona.

Dejar vacío el nombre de rama en la paleta crea un checkout detached en la base elegida, llamado <base>-<sha7>; "Create branch here…" en el menú contextual de la pestaña lo convierte en rama más tarde, conservando los cambios sin commit.

Un archivo .worktreeinclude en la raíz del repositorio lista los archivos y directorios ignorados por git que se copian en cada worktree nuevo, una ruta por línea relativa a la raíz, # para comentarios, / final opcional en directorios. Sin el archivo, Paneflow copia los .env* de primer nivel y AGENTS.override.md si existen. Un archivo que ya existe en el worktree nunca se sobrescribe.

Antes de eliminar un worktree gestionado, automáticamente o a mano, Paneflow guarda sus cambios sin commit en un commit de snapshot bajo refs/paneflow/snapshots/ en el repositorio principal: ediciones de archivos rastreados, archivos nuevos y la rama actual. Settings > Worktrees lista los snapshots; Restore recrea el worktree con esos cambios sin commit en la misma rama, Delete descarta la ref. Un worktree limpio no deja snapshot.

ClaveTipoPredeterminadoNotas
worktrees.dirstring/null~/.paneflow/worktreesDirectorio raíz de los worktrees gestionados. Cada repositorio recibe un subdirectorio <repo>-<hash>, cada rama un directorio dentro. El valor predeterminado es ~/.paneflow/worktrees en todas las plataformas (%USERPROFILE%\.paneflow\worktrees en Windows). ~ es el directorio home. Los worktrees creados bajo una raíz anterior, incluido el antiguo vecino <repo>.worktrees/, siguen funcionando donde están.
worktrees.auto_removeboolean/nulltrueElimina un worktree gestionado al cerrar su workspace y recorta los más antiguos por encima de keep_limit. Los cambios sin commit se guardan antes en un snapshot, y la rama nunca se borra. false conserva cada worktree hasta que lo elimines desde Settings > Worktrees o el menú de la pestaña.
worktrees.keep_limitinteger/null15Número de worktrees gestionados a conservar antes de eliminar los más antiguos que ninguna pestaña abierta usa. De 0 a 200.
worktrees.for_new_branchesboolean/nulltrueEstado inicial del interruptor Worktree del formulario New branch. true crea un worktree para la rama; false cambia el checkout del workspace a ella, y el pane se abre en la raíz del repositorio. El interruptor reescribe esta clave, y el cambio se rechaza mientras un agente trabaje en ese checkout.

agent_profiles

agent_profiles es una lista. Cada entrada añade un elemento de lanzamiento que ejecuta uno de los agentes integrados con variables de entorno y argumentos extra. Los perfiles aparecen en la paleta de paneles junto a los agentes integrados, y conservan el seguimiento de estado, los hooks y las sesiones del agente base. Settings > Agents > Profiles edita la misma lista.

ClaveTipoPredeterminadoNotas
agent_profiles.*.namestringrequeridoEtiqueta mostrada en el lanzador.
agent_profiles.*.agentstringrequeridoTag del agente base: claude_code, codex, opencode, pi, hermes, grok, amp, gemini, copilot, factory u openclaw.
agent_profiles.*.envobject{}Variables de entorno fijadas en el proceso del agente. Un ~ inicial se expande al directorio home, y $NAME, ${NAME} o %NAME% en cualquier punto del valor toma esa variable del propio entorno de Paneflow. Un $ o % que no nombra nada queda literal; un nombre que el entorno no define es rechazado por el editor de Settings y, en una configuración escrita a mano, deja el valor completo intacto con un aviso en el log.
agent_profiles.*.argsstring array[]Argumentos extra añadidos tras las propias opciones del agente base. Cada token debe ser una palabra simple: letras, dígitos, -, _, ., =.

Una entrada con un tag de agente desconocido, un nombre vacío o un token inseguro se omite con un aviso; los demás perfiles se cargan igualmente.
