 The mux stream projects the latest log-backed title as a validated `session/title` control frame after each attached-session subscription baseline and immediately after the corresponding live raw title event. This projection does not add titles to `session.list`; cold sessions remain metadata-only there until opening or resuming attaches their logs.
 
+Session model routing is a session-domain contract. `session.models` returns the selected provider/model/reasoning target with provider-grouped advisory models, exact-route reasoning metadata, and provider-local lookup failures. `session.selectModel` validates the optional adapter-owned reasoning effort and replaces the complete target selected for the next prompt-assembly boundary. Catalog membership is not validation: an adapter may resolve an unlisted model, while an unavailable route or unsupported effort returns `model-unavailable`.
+
 Workspace and Session lists are separate reconnect baselines. `workspace.create` creates a unique name or adopts an existing directory, `workspace.delete` removes only the Workspace registration, `session.create` accepts an optional preallocated Session id, and `host/workspace-changed`, `host/workspace-removed`, plus `host/session-added` carry committed increments in either arrival order. Registration deletion preserves the directory and session logs; its Sessions remain in `session.list` and become Ungrouped. `SessionSummary.blank` and the `host/session-added` frame carry the derived zero-events bit: clients hide blank sessions and reuse them per workspace, flip blank on the first `host/session-status(running:true)`, and treat `session.list` as the reconnect authority; cold summaries are never blank because lazy persistence keeps never-appended sessions out of `list()`.
 
 `session.search` is a bounded content-search projection over the sessions visible through `session.list`. The gateway asks the optional `ctx.sessionQuery` service for globally ranked current-surface user, assistant, and steering matches, consumes that stream until it has at most 20 visible session/snippet pairs plus one lookahead, and revalidates every hit against the list-derived authorization set before returning it. Provider pages start at 20 hits; when a first-page request rejects that limit, the gateway probes 10, 5, 2, then 1 and retains the learned size for continuation and stale-generation restarts. Returned snippets contain at most 240 Unicode code points, and the response schema independently enforces that bound at each client boundary. Keeping the authorization set in Host memory avoids SQLite's variable ceiling for large valid corpora without weakening visibility or ranking.
 
 A stale continuation discards every partial result, deduplication entry, and cursor from that provider attempt, then restarts at the first page against the original list-derived visibility snapshot without discarding the learned provider page size. Limit probes and stale retries share the same limit of at most 100 provider calls (and therefore at most 2,000 inspected hits); a page larger than its requested limit, a repeated continuation cursor, or a still-unexhausted stream at that call budget fails closed as an `internal` business error. The carrier request signal cancels persistence listing, cold-summary collection, and every search call, including a limit or stale rejection observed concurrently with cancellation. A deployment without the service, or any unrecovered index/query failure, also returns an `internal` business error so clients can retain metadata-only matches.
 
+`host.pickDirectory` opens one native directory picker and returns its selected path, or `null` when the user cancels. Its host implementation invokes platform tools without a shell: `osascript` on macOS, an STA PowerShell `FolderBrowserDialog` on Windows, and Zenity with a KDialog fallback on Linux. The picker function is injectable for tests. This user-paced method is the sole unary call exempt from the default 30-second timeout; caller and connection aborts still propagate to the native process. The browser carrier separately restricts this privileged method to loopback, same-origin requests.
+
 `session.history` pages on message boundaries, and its tail page (no `beforeSeq`) carries two session-level extras the page window cannot supply: the in-flight partial's chunk events, and `todos` — the latest `todo/write` whole-list projection over the full log. Older pages omit `todos` because the projection is session-level, not per-page; a tail response that omits it means the whole log holds no `todo/write`, so clients read the absent field as the empty plan rather than as unchanged state.
 
 The `command.*` and `skill.*` domains expose the host command registry and skill catalog to clients. Every method addresses one session's agent by `sessionId` (a served session always has an Agent; `command.*` resumes cold sessions through the same path as `session.*`, while `skill.list` resolves the project root from the session header without touching the Agent registry). `command.execute` runs a slash-command line host-side and returns a detached result; the carrier's request signal cancels the running handler. `host/commands-changed` is the catalog invalidation frame: clients refetch `command.list` instead of diffing.
@@ -40,3 +44,4 @@ None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.
 - **Reserved seams stay out of `RpcMethodMap`** — `session.fork`, `prompt.mode: 'inject'`, `task.list`, `host.listModels`, and a describe `hostInstanceId` are documented reservations; an unknown method fails loud at envelope parse rather than getting a not-implemented code.
 - **No protocol version field** — client and host ship together; `host.describe` gains a version negotiation field only when an independently released client exists.
 - **Search failures include provider diagnostics** — the gateway is a single-user local service. A carrier that exposes it to multiple users must replace internal search details with a public-safe diagnostic.
+- **Linux native picker requires desktop tooling** — `host.pickDirectory` reports an actionable error when neither Zenity nor KDialog is installed; it does not fall back to a custom or typed-path browser.
