+# Feature: Fix SSE Event Processing in Standalone Mode
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Agent Flow's visualizer failed to display real-time agent events when running in standalone mode (`pnpm run dev`). Events were being transmitted from the relay server to the browser via Server-Sent Events (SSE), but were never visualized on the canvas or processed by the simulation engine.
+
+### Symptoms
+
+- Browser console showed: `[SSE] Connected to relay` ✓
+- Browser console showed: `[SSE] Received message: agent-event` ✓
+- Browser showed: `WAITING FOR AGENT SESSION` (no agents rendered)
+- Events were buffered in sessionEventsRef but never delivered to the simulation
+
+### Root Causes
+
+#### 1. Unreliable PostMessage Pattern
+The original code in `use-vscode-bridge.ts` attempted to route SSE messages through `window.postMessage()`:
+
+```typescript
+es.onmessage = (e) => {
+  try {
+    const data = JSON.parse(e.data)
+    window.postMessage(data, '*')  // ❌ Problematic
+  } catch {}
+}
+```
+
+**Why it failed:** In same-origin contexts, `window.postMessage(data, '*')` does not reliably trigger the `window.addEventListener('message', ...)` handler in the VSCodeBridge. The bridge's message handler is designed for cross-origin postMessage (VS Code extension ↔ webview), not self-messaging within the web app.
+
+#### 2. Missing Session Auto-Selection
+When SSE events arrived before a session was selected, they were routed to "background activity" instead of being added to `pendingEventsRef`:
+
+```typescript
+const selected = selectedSessionIdRef.current  // Always null on first event
+if (selected && eventData.event.sessionId === selected && !sessionSwitchPendingRef.current) {
+  pendingEventsRef.current.push(simEvent)  // ❌ Never executed
+}
+```
+
+This prevented the simulation engine from ever receiving events.
+
+---
+
+## Solution Overview
+
+### 1. Direct SSE Event Processing
+Process SSE messages directly in the `use-vscode-bridge` hook instead of routing through `postMessage`. This bypasses the unreliable self-messaging pattern.
+
+**Key changes:**
+- Parse and route SSE messages directly to event handlers
+- Support all five SSE message types:
+  - `agent-event` — individual agent events
+  - `agent-event-batch` — bulk event replay
+  - `session-list` — initial session inventory
+  - `session-started` — new session detected
+  - `session-ended`/`session-updated` — session lifecycle
+
+### 2. Auto-Select Session on First Event
+When the first event arrives and no session is selected, automatically:
+1. Select that session
+2. Create a session entry if it doesn't exist
+3. Mark session switch as pending to prevent race conditions
+4. Clear pending events to avoid processing in wrong state
+
+```typescript
+if (!selected && eventData.event.sessionId) {
+  sessionSwitchPendingRef.current = true
+  pendingEventsRef.current.length = 0
+  selectedSessionIdRef.current = eventData.event.sessionId
+  selected = eventData.event.sessionId
+  setSelectedSessionId(eventData.event.sessionId)
+  setSessions(prev => {
+    const exists = prev.find(s => s.id === eventData.event.sessionId)
+    if (exists) return prev
+    return [...prev, {
+      id: eventData.event.sessionId!,
+      label: `Session ${eventData.event.sessionId!.slice(0, 8)}`,
+      status: 'active' as const,
+      startTime: Date.now(),
+      lastActivityTime: Date.now(),
+    }]
+  })
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Session Buffering & Multi-Session Support
+- Buffer events per session for replay when switching sessions
+- Maintain separate event queues to prevent cross-contamination
+- Mark "background activity" for sessions not currently selected
+
+---
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### Files Modified
+
+#### `web/hooks/use-vscode-bridge.ts`
+- **Lines 64-163**: Replaced postMessage relay with direct SSE event handling
+- **Lines 84-132**: Added logic for auto-selecting session on first event
+- **Lines 134-158**: Added session lifecycle handlers for all five message types
+- **Lines 160-195**: Added agent-event-batch handler for efficient bulk replay
+
+### Event Flow (Fixed)
+
+```
+Relay Server
+    ↓ (SSE stream)
+Browser EventSource
+    ↓ (es.onmessage)
+use-vscode-bridge hook (DIRECT PROCESSING) ← Fixed: no longer uses postMessage
+    ↓ (setState + pendingEventsRef)
+useAgentSimulation hook
+    ↓ (animate loop)
+Simulation Engine
+    ↓
+Canvas Visualization ✓
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing & Validation
+
+### Reproduction Steps (Before Fix)
+
+1. Start relay: `pnpm run dev`
+2. Run Claude Code session: `claude code "list files"`
+3. Browser shows: "WAITING FOR AGENT SESSION"
+4. Browser console shows events received but never processed
+5. Canvas remains empty
+
+### Verification Steps (After Fix)
+
+1. Start relay: `pnpm run dev`
+2. Run Claude Code session: `claude code "list files"`
+3. Browser immediately selects session automatically
+4. Canvas renders agent node
+5. Agent moves and interacts in real-time
+6. Timeline updates with events
+7. Console logs confirm event flow: `[SSE] Processing agent-event`
+
+### Edge Cases Handled
+
+- **No session exists initially**: Creates session entry on first event ✓
+- **Multiple concurrent sessions**: Each buffered separately; can switch between them ✓
+- **Session already selected**: Routes to pending events immediately ✓
+- **Event arrives before session lifecycle**: Auto-selects rather than discarding ✓
+- **Event batch replay**: Processes all events with proper session buffering ✓
+
+---
+
+## Impact
+
+### Before Fix
+- ❌ Standalone mode unusable for real-time visualization
+- ❌ Web-based relay server non-functional
+- ❌ No visual feedback when Claude Code runs
+
+### After Fix
+- ✅ Real-time event visualization in standalone mode
+- ✅ Web app relay server fully functional
+- ✅ Auto-discovery of sessions
+- ✅ Multi-session support with buffering
+- ✅ Zero-latency event delivery to simulator
+
+---
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+**None.** This is a pure bug fix. The API contracts remain unchanged:
+- `useVSCodeBridge()` returns the same interface
+- `useAgentSimulation()` receives the same event format
+- VS Code extension mode (`bridge.isVSCode === true`) unaffected
+
+---
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Event processing**: Now O(1) per event (direct handler vs. postMessage → message listener)
+- **Memory**: No additional memory overhead; reuses existing event buffering
+- **Network**: No change; SSE stream is still streamed incrementally
+- **CPU**: Slightly lower CPU usage due to elimination of postMessage overhead
+
+---
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+1. **Session list pre-fetch**: Could request `session-list` immediately on SSE connection
+2. **Session lifecycle events**: Relay could emit `session-started` before first `agent_spawn` event
+3. **Batching optimization**: Group rapid events into batches to reduce re-renders
+4. **Connection recovery**: Implement reconnect logic with event replay on disconnect
+
+---

+# Setup Findings & Issue Resolution
+
+## Problem Identified
+
+Agent Flow extension was not receiving events from Claude Code sessions because **hooks were not configured in `~/.claude/settings.json`**.
+
+### Root Cause
+
+The extension has two event sources:
+1. **Claude Code Hooks** (HTTP POST) — Primary, real-time
+2. **SessionWatcher** (JSONL file monitoring) — Fallback, 1-second polling
+
+Without hooks configured, only the fallback mechanism was working, requiring users to manually point to JSONL files or wait for auto-detection to kick in.
+
+## Setup Process
+
+The `pnpm run setup` command now:
+1. Detects Claude Code installation
+2. Configures hooks in `~/.claude/settings.json` for all event types:
+   - `SessionStart`, `SessionEnd`, `Stop`
+   - `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, `PostToolUseFailure`
+   - `SubagentStart`, `SubagentStop`
+   - `Notification`
+3. Creates hook script at `~/.claude/agent-flow/hook.js`
+4. Sets 2-second hook timeout
+
+## Hook Configuration Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "SessionStart": [
+      {
+        "hooks": [
+          {
+            "type": "command",
+            "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node /Users/matias.diaz/.claude/agent-flow/hook.js",
+            "timeout": 2
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    ],
+    // ... same pattern for all event types
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Why Two Event Sources?
+
+### SessionWatcher (JSONL monitoring)
+- **Pros**: No network overhead, works without setup, detects all sessions automatically
+- **Cons**: File system dependent, 1-second polling latency, only recent sessions (10-minute age threshold)
+
+### HookServer (HTTP hooks)
+- **Pros**: Real-time, zero latency, works with running sessions
+- **Cons**: Requires setup via `pnpm run setup`, network-based
+
+## Testing Verification
+
+After running `pnpm run setup`:
+1. Open Agent Flow in Cursor
+2. Run `claude "test command"` in separate terminal
+3. Events stream in real-time to the visualization
+
+### Diagnostic Script
+
+Added `pnpm run diagnose` to verify setup:
+```bash
+pnpm run diagnose
+```
+
+Checks:
+- Claude directory structure
+- Hook configuration in settings.json
+- Active sessions in projects directory
+- Hook script existence
+- Workspace path encoding
+
+## Documentation Added
+
+1. **INICIO_RAPIDO.md** — Spanish quick-start guide
+2. **TROUBLESHOOTING.md** — Comprehensive debugging guide
+3. **scripts/diagnose.js** — Automated setup verification
+4. **SETUP_FINDINGS.md** (this file) — Technical documentation
+
+## Key Insights
+
+1. **Hook timeout (2s)** is crucial — Claude Code waits for hook completion before continuing
+2. **SessionWatcher is a safety net** — Captures events even if hooks fail
+3. **JSONL file age threshold (10 min)** — Prevents scanning stale sessions
+4. **Global session detection** — Extension automatically finds active sessions across all projects
+
+## User Experience Improvement
+
+Before:
+- User runs `claude` command
+- No events visible in Agent Flow
+- User confused, tries manual JSONL connection
+- Manual steps required
+
+After:
+- User runs `pnpm run setup` (one-time)
+- User runs `claude` command
+- Events appear instantly in real-time visualization
+- Seamless experience
+
+## Next Steps for Maintainers
+
+1. Consider making hook timeout configurable
+2. Document why 10-minute session age threshold exists
+3. Consider periodic hook health checks
+4. Add metrics for hook execution time
+

+# Agent Flow Troubleshooting Guide
+
+## Problem: Extension doesn't receive events from Claude Code
+
+### Setup Checklist
+
+Two event sources are available. You must configure at least ONE:
+
+#### ✅ Option 1: Claude Code Hooks (Recommended - Real-time)
+This is the **primary method** and the most reliable.
+
+**Step 1: Configure hooks (one-time setup)**
+```bash
+cd /Users/matias.diaz/Documents/code/agent-flow
+pnpm run setup
+```
+
+This command:
+- Detects your Claude Code installation
+- Adds hook configuration to your `~/.claude/settings.json`
+- Creates the relay script
+
+**Step 2: Verify hook configuration**
+```bash
+cat ~/.claude/settings.json | grep -A 5 "hooks"
+```
+
+You should see something like:
+```json
+"hooks": {
+  "agent-flow": {
+    "bin": "node",
+    "args": ["~/.claude/agent-flow/hook.js"],
+    ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3: Open Agent Flow in Cursor**
+- Command Palette → "Agent Flow: Open Agent Flow"
+- The panel should show: "Hook server running on port XXXX"
+
+**Step 4: Start a Claude Code session**
+- Open a **new terminal** in Cursor
+- Run: `claude <your-prompt>`
+
+Events should stream in real-time.
+
+#### ✅ Option 2: JSONL File Watching (Fallback - Near real-time)
+Use this if hooks aren't working or for replaying old sessions.
+
+**Method A: Auto-detect active sessions**
+- Extension automatically watches `~/.claude/projects/<project>/`
+- Only detects sessions modified in last **10 minutes**
+- Works automatically when you run `claude` commands
+
+**Method B: Manual JSONL file connection**
+```bash
+# Find your session file
+ls -lht ~/.claude/projects/*/  # shows most recently modified
+
+# Then in Agent Flow:
+# - Command Palette → "Agent Flow: Connect to Running Agent"
+# - Select "Watch JSONL File"
+# - Choose the .jsonl file
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### Issue 1: "Hook server running on port X but no events arrive"
+
+**Cause**: Hooks configured but Claude Code isn't sending events
+
+**Fix**:
+1. Check if hooks are in settings:
+   ```bash
+   cat ~/.claude/settings.json | grep -A 10 "agent-flow"
+   ```
+
+2. Verify the hook script exists:
+   ```bash
+   ls -la ~/.claude/agent-flow/hook.js
+   ```
+
+3. Check extension logs (Cursor Dev Tools):
+   - View → Developer Tools
+   - Find logs with `[HookServer]` or `[Extension]`
+
+4. Run hook manually to test:
+   ```bash
+   node ~/.claude/agent-flow/hook.js
+   # Should output: Agent Flow hook (nothing means working)
+   ```
+
+### Issue 2: "Session not detected" or "No active sessions found"
+
+**Cause**: SessionWatcher only looks for files modified in last 10 minutes
+
+**Fix**:
+1. Use Option 2B (Manual JSONL file connection) for old sessions
+
+2. For new sessions: Make sure you're running:
+   ```bash
+   claude <your-prompt>  # In a separate terminal
+   ```
+   NOT just in the current shell
+
+3. Check JSONL files exist:
+   ```bash
+   ls ~/.claude/projects/*/
+   ```
+
+4. Look at file timestamps:
+   ```bash
+   ls -lhtr ~/.claude/projects/*/ | tail -5
+   ```
+
+### Issue 3: Hook server keeps restarting or port changes
+
+**Cause**: Multiple VS Code/Cursor windows, or port in use
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Kill existing hook servers
+pkill -f "agent-flow/hook.js"
+
+# Check what's using the port
+lsof -i :3001  # or whatever port is shown
+```
+
+### Issue 4: Events stop flowing after a while
+
+**Cause**: fs.watch on macOS can silently stop
+
+**Fix**: 
+- Extension has a 3-second poll fallback
+- If still stuck, restart the extension (Close → Reopen panel)
+
+---
+
+## How To Debug
+
+### 1. Enable Extension Logs
+In Cursor Dev Tools (View → Developer Tools):
+```javascript
+// Shows all extension output
+console.log("[HookServer] ...", "[SessionWatcher] ...")
+```
+
+Look for lines like:
+- `[HookServer] [Hook] PreToolUse` → Events arriving from hooks
+- `[SessionWatcher] Active session found` → JSONL file detected
+- `[SessionWatcher] Session age=X` → How old the file is
+
+### 2. Check Hook Delivery
+```bash
+# In one terminal, watch the hook script
+tail -f ~/.claude/agent-flow/hook.log 2>/dev/null || echo "No log yet"
+
+# In another terminal, run a Claude Code session
+claude "list files in current directory"
+```
+
+You should see hook events in the log.
+
+### 3. Monitor JSONL Files
+```bash
+# In one terminal, watch for new JSONL files
+watch 'ls -lhtr ~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl | tail -3'
+
+# In another terminal
+claude "something"
+
+# Check the JSONL contents
+tail -f ~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl
+```
+
+---
+
+## Do I Need A New Terminal Every Time?
+
+**YES**, if running `claude` CLI commands. Here's why:
+
+```bash
+# Option 1: New terminal (WORKS)
+# Terminal A: Run Agent Flow extension
+# Terminal B: claude "do something"  ← New separate terminal
+
+# Option 2: Same terminal (DOESN'T WORK)
+claude "do something" && echo "doesn't send events to extension"
+```
+
+The hook server and JSONL watcher listen for events **outside** the current process.
+
+However, if using the **standalone web app** (`npx agent-flow-app`), you don't need any terminals—the app listens globally for all Claude Code sessions.
+
+---
+
+## Global Session Detection
+
+Agent Flow **automatically** detects Claude Code sessions globally across your machine:
+
+1. Scans `~/.claude/projects/` every 1 second
+2. Looks for `.jsonl` files in:
+   - Workspace-specific directories
+   - Subdirectory projects (e.g., CLI started from `project/src/`)
+3. Monitors for sessions active in last 10 minutes
+
+**To monitor older sessions**: Use manual "Watch JSONL File" option.
+
+---
+
+## Setup Once, Use Forever
+
+After running `pnpm run setup`:
+- ✅ Hooks automatically configured
+- ✅ Hook script persists across Claude Code updates
+- ✅ Auto-detects your workspace
+
+You only need to rerun `setup` if:
+- Claude Code installation changes
+- You want to reconfigure for a different workspace
+- Hook script gets corrupted
+
+---
+
+## Still Not Working?
+
+1. Verify workspace path:
+   ```bash
+   pwd  # in your project folder
+   ```
+
+2. Check encoded project dir exists:
+   ```bash
+   ls ~/.claude/projects/ | grep -i "agent-flow"
+   ```
+
+3. Look for error messages in:
+   - Cursor Dev Tools console
+   - `~/.claude/agent-flow/hook.log` (if it exists)
+
+4. Try the standalone app instead:
+   ```bash
+   npx agent-flow-app --port 3001
+   # Then run: claude "something" in another terminal
+   ```
+
+5. File an issue with:
+   - Output of: `cat ~/.claude/settings.json | grep -A 20 hooks`
+   - Output of: `ls -la ~/.claude/projects/`
+   - Extension console logs (View → Developer Tools)
