Closes#515.

Why: the session prompt opened "You are Amico — Amicode's pulse-design copilot" while the same prompt's error-corrected-loop section said "research studio, not a single-purpose copilot" and the overture had already been rewritten to "coding and research companion" (#503 — its tests assert the pulse phrasing is gone). The identity block was the straggler, and it mis-framed every session for users whose field isn't pulses — QEC, other physics, anything modelable.

User direction (2026-08-22): "amico should be autoresearch/autodev first and then adapt to users needs — for myself quantum pulse stuff, others might do qec, or any manner of other things."

The new identity: autoresearch copilot — the loop first (campaigns, hypotheses, spec gates, experiments, mechanical verdicts) plus the dev work that loop needs (issues, PRs, skills, fleet ops), adapting to the user's field from recorded state (profile, mounts, memory). Quantum control stays as the deepest domain (Piccolo pulses, Run Inspector), explicitly as the first domain pack, not the boundary. Voice section follows ("done research with this user", not "pulse design with this researcher").

Rebased onto #503/#512 — resolved the identity conflict in favor of the loop-first text (it subsumes their de-quantum intent). Their "research copilot" one-liner becomes "autoresearch copilot" per the user's explicit wording and the product's own vocabulary (README: "open autonomous research studio").

Also fix-forwards main's red typecheck (same failure class as #505): #503/#512 left an orphaned armOnboardingSession (its caller died with the splash transition), an unused writeWelcomeShown import, and a dead enterGroup const.

Version 0.2.5 → 0.2.6 (the vsix ships this AGENTS.md).

Verification: typecheck clean, extension suite 1238 passed / 5 skipped / 100 files.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Updated the assistant’s identity to support Amicode’s broader autoresearch workflow and multiple research domains.
    • Improved contextual guidance to reflect users’ broader research tools, recorded state, and common failure modes.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Removed unused onboarding and animation logic without changing the visible onboarding experience.
  • Chores

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The extension now presents Amico as Amicode’s autoresearch copilot, updates the package version to 0.2.6, and removes unused onboarding imports, session setup logic, and SVG lookup code.

Changes

Extension identity and cleanup

Layer / File(s)Summary
Identity guidance and release metadata
packages/extension/AGENTS.md, packages/extension/package.json
The guidance covers autoresearch, autodev, broader domain packs, and recorded user state. The package version changes from 0.2.5 to 0.2.6.
Onboarding code cleanup
packages/extension/src/extension.ts, packages/extension/src/onboarding_webview.ts
Unused onboarding session setup imports and helper logic are removed. The unused animated SVG group lookup is also removed.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to eb30c

The PR reframes the product as an autoresearch copilot with quantum control as its deepest domain and removes dead onboarding code while updating the version. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Quantum control stays as the deepest domain (Piccolo pulses, Run Inspector), explicitly as the first domain pack, not the boundary. Voice section follows ("done research with this user", not "pulse design with this researcher").

Rebased onto #503/#512 — resolved the identity conflict in favor of the loop-first text (it subsumes their de-quantum intent). Their "research copilot" one-liner becomes "autoresearch copilot" per the user's explicit wording and the product's own vocabulary (README: "open autonomous research studio").

Also fix-forwards main's red typecheck (same failure class as #505): #503/#512 left an orphaned armOnboardingSession (its caller died with the splash transition), an unused writeWelcomeShown import, and a dead enterGroup const.

Version 0.2.5 → 0.2.6 (the vsix ships this AGENTS.md).

Verification: typecheck clean, extension suite 1238 passed / 5 skipped / 100 files.

a single-purpose copilot' and the overture had already been rewritten to
'coding and research companion' (tests assert the pulse phrasing is
gone). The identity block was the straggler — and it mis-framed every
session for users whose field isn't pulses.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The extension now presents Amico as Amicode’s autoresearch copilot, updates the package version to 0.2.6, and removes unused onboarding imports, session setup logic, and SVG lookup code.

Changes

Extension identity and cleanup

Layer / File(s)Summary
Identity guidance and release metadata
packages/extension/AGENTS.md, packages/extension/package.json
The guidance covers autoresearch, autodev, broader domain packs, and recorded user state. The package version changes from 0.2.5 to 0.2.6.
Onboarding code cleanup
packages/extension/src/extension.ts, packages/extension/src/onboarding_webview.ts
Unused onboarding session setup imports and helper logic are removed. The unused animated SVG group lookup is also removed.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to eb30c

The PR reframes the product as an autoresearch copilot with quantum control as its deepest domain and removes dead onboarding code while updating the version. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Closes#515.

Why: the session prompt opened "You are Amico — Amicode's pulse-design copilot" while the same prompt's error-corrected-loop section said "research studio, not a single-purpose copilot" and the overture had already been rewritten to "coding and research companion" (#503 — its tests assert the pulse phrasing is gone). The identity block was the straggler, and it mis-framed every session for users whose field isn't pulses — QEC, other physics, anything modelable.

User direction (2026-08-22): "amico should be autoresearch/autodev first and then adapt to users needs — for myself quantum pulse stuff, others might do qec, or any manner of other things."

The new identity: autoresearch copilot — the loop first (campaigns, hypotheses, spec gates, experiments, mechanical verdicts) plus the dev work that loop needs (issues, PRs, skills, fleet ops), adapting to the user's field from recorded state (profile, mounts, memory). Quantum control stays as the deepest domain (Piccolo pulses, Run Inspector), explicitly as the first domain pack, not the boundary. Voice section follows ("done research with this user", not "pulse design with this researcher").

Rebased onto #503/#512 — resolved the identity conflict in favor of the loop-first text (it subsumes their de-quantum intent). Their "research copilot" one-liner becomes "autoresearch copilot" per the user's explicit wording and the product's own vocabulary (README: "open autonomous research studio").

Also fix-forwards main's red typecheck (same failure class as #505): #503/#512 left an orphaned armOnboardingSession (its caller died with the splash transition), an unused writeWelcomeShown import, and a dead enterGroup const.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The extension now presents Amico as Amicode’s autoresearch copilot, updates the package version to 0.2.6, and removes unused onboarding imports, session setup logic, and SVG lookup code.

Changes

Extension identity and cleanup

Layer / File(s)Summary
Identity guidance and release metadata
packages/extension/AGENTS.md, packages/extension/package.json
The guidance covers autoresearch, autodev, broader domain packs, and recorded user state. The package version changes from 0.2.5 to 0.2.6.
Onboarding code cleanup
packages/extension/src/extension.ts, packages/extension/src/onboarding_webview.ts
Unused onboarding session setup imports and helper logic are removed. The unused animated SVG group lookup is also removed.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to eb30c

The PR reframes the product as an autoresearch copilot with quantum control as its deepest domain and removes dead onboarding code while updating the version. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Closes#515.

Why: the session prompt opened "You are Amico — Amicode's pulse-design copilot" while the same prompt's error-corrected-loop section said "research studio, not a single-purpose copilot" and the overture had already been rewritten to "coding and research companion" (#503 — its tests assert the pulse phrasing is gone). The identity block was the straggler, and it mis-framed every session for users whose field isn't pulses — QEC, other physics, anything modelable.

User direction (2026-08-22): "amico should be autoresearch/autodev first and then adapt to users needs — for myself quantum pulse stuff, others might do qec, or any manner of other things."

The new identity: autoresearch copilot — the loop first (campaigns, hypotheses, spec gates, experiments, mechanical verdicts) plus the dev work that loop needs (issues, PRs, skills, fleet ops), adapting to the user's field from recorded state (profile, mounts, memory). Quantum control stays as the deepest domain (Piccolo pulses, Run Inspector), explicitly as the first domain pack, not the boundary. Voice section follows ("done research with this user", not "pulse design with this researcher").

Rebased onto #503/#512 — resolved the identity conflict in favor of the loop-first text (it subsumes their de-quantum intent). Their "research copilot" one-liner becomes "autoresearch copilot" per the user's explicit wording and the product's own vocabulary (README: "open autonomous research studio").

Also fix-forwards main's red typecheck (same failure class as #505): #503/#512 left an orphaned armOnboardingSession (its caller died with the splash transition), an unused writeWelcomeShown import, and a dead enterGroup const.

Version 0.2.5 → 0.2.6 (the vsix ships this AGENTS.md).

Verification: typecheck clean, extension suite 1238 passed / 5 skipped / 100 files.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Updated the assistant’s identity to support Amicode’s broader autoresearch workflow and multiple research domains.
    • Improved contextual guidance to reflect users’ broader research tools, recorded state, and common failure modes.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Removed unused onboarding and animation logic without changing the visible onboarding experience.
  • Chores

    • Updated the extension version to 0.2.6.

…pest domain (#515)
The template opened 'You are Amico — Amicode's pulse-design copilot' while
the same prompt's error-corrected-loop section said 'research studio, not
a single-purpose copilot' and the overture had already been rewritten to
'coding and research companion' (tests assert the pulse phrasing is
gone). The identity block was the straggler — and it mis-framed every
session for users whose field isn't pulses.
New identity: autoresearch copilot — the loop first (campaigns,
hypotheses, spec gates, experiments, mechanical verdicts) plus the dev
work it needs (issues, PRs, skills, fleet ops), adapting to the user's
field from recorded state (profile, mounts, memory). Quantum control
stays as the deepest domain (Piccolo pulses, Run Inspector) explicitly
as the first domain pack, not the boundary — QEC, other physics,
anything modelable, same loop. Voice section follows ('done research
with this user', not 'pulse design with this researcher').
Also fix-forwards main's typecheck (red from #503/#512): removes the
orphaned armOnboardingSession (its caller died with the splash
transition), an unused writeWelcomeShown import, and a dead enterGroup
const in the splash animation.
Version 0.2.5 -> 0.2.6 (the vsix ships this AGENTS.md).
Closes#515.
