# v2.3 Provider lifecycle (Paseo-style registry)
**Status:** Planned
**Depends on:** v2.2 Paseo providers (snapshot, modes, commands, ACP dispatch)
**Reference fork:** `/opt/forks/paseo`
**Related deferred work:** [`docs/DEFERRED-WORK.md`](../../../docs/DEFERRED-WORK.md) §2 (cold-probe skip)
## Why
BooCode v2.2 copied Paseos **snapshot wire shape** (modes, thinking, commands) but not Paseos **provider lifecycle**:
- Providers are hardcoded in `provider-registry.ts`; adding one requires a code change and redeploy.
- Uninstalled agents **disappear** from the picker instead of showing “not installed.”
- There is no **enable/disable** toggle — every probed binary appears.
- Every snapshot cache miss runs a **full cold ACP probe** for all installed agents (530s).
Paseos model (see `/opt/forks/paseo/public-docs/providers.md`) treats providers as **registered entries** in a config-backed registry, then probes the machine for readiness, then lets the user toggle visibility. That fits a one-person homelab: edit JSON, refresh, flip a switch — no TypeScript deploy for each new ACP CLI.
## Scope
### In scope
1. **Config file** `/data/coder-providers.json` — add/disable/custom ACP providers without code changes
2. **Merged registry** — built-ins + config overrides at runtime
3. **Snapshot lifecycle**`loading` | `ready` | `unavailable` | `error`; always list registered providers; `enabled` flag
4. **Two-tier probe** — fast binary check vs slow ACP session (DB `last_probed_at` gate)
5. **Generic ACP dispatch** — config entries spawn via `{ command, env }` without new `acp-spawn` cases
6. **HTTP API** — read/patch config, per-provider refresh, optional diagnostic
7. **Web UI** — settings drawer: provider list, enable toggle, refresh, add-from-catalog (curated ~510 entries)
8. **Tests + docs** — snapshot unit tests, `BOOCODER.md` refresh contract
### Out of scope (this batch)
- Full Paseo ACP catalog (30+ agents) — curate a small local catalog only
- React Native settings app port
- Replacing `acp-dispatch.ts` with Paseos `ACPAgentClient` hierarchy
- Voice provider stack
- MCP `list_providers` / `inspect_provider` tools (Tier 2 follow-up)
- WS push of snapshot updates (Tier 2 follow-up)
## Non-goals
- Multi-user provider prefs (single-user homelab)
- Installing CLIs from the UI (link to install instructions only, like Paseo)
- Removing `available_agents` table — keep it as probe cache, extend with `enabled` or mirror config
## Success criteria
- Add `amp-acp` via catalog → appears in picker after refresh without coder redeploy
- Disable goose in settings → gone from picker, still visible as “Disabled” in settings
- opencode not on PATH → shows “Not installed” in settings, hidden from picker
- Second snapshot open within warm window completes in &lt;500ms (no ACP spawns)
- `POST /api/providers/refresh` still runs full cold probe
- Existing v2.2 dispatch (cursor, opencode, claude, qwen) unchanged for built-ins
