-## Troubleshooting
+## 🆘 Troubleshooting
 
-### "Dependencies not installed" Error
-Run the installer script first:
-- Windows: `Install-Windows.bat`
-- Linux: `./Install-Linux.sh`
-- macOS: `./Install-Mac.sh`
+<details>
+<summary><b>Common Issues & Solutions</b></summary>
 
-### "opencode not found" or Workspace Creation Fails
-The installer should automatically install OpenCode CLI. If it fails:
-
-**Option 1 - Manual npm install:**
+**Dependencies not installed?**
 ```bash
-npm install -g opencode-ai@latest
+# Run the installer for your platform
+Install-Windows.bat  # Windows
+./Install-Linux.sh   # Linux
+./Install-Mac.sh     # macOS
 ```
 
-**Option 2 - Manual download:**
-1. Visit: https://github.com/sst/opencode/releases/latest
-2. Download the appropriate ZIP for your platform:
-   - Windows: `opencode-windows-x64.zip`
-   - Linux x64: `opencode-linux-x64.zip`
-   - Linux ARM64: `opencode-linux-arm64.zip`
-   - macOS Intel: `opencode-darwin-x64.zip`
-   - macOS Apple Silicon: `opencode-darwin-arm64.zip`
-3. Extract and place `opencode` or `opencode.exe` in the `bin/` folder
+**Port conflict?**
+```bash
+# Kill process on port 3000/3001
+taskkill /F /PID <PID>  # Windows
+kill -9 <PID>           # Unix
+```
 
-### Port 3000 or 3001 Already in Use
-The launchers will detect port conflicts and warn you. To fix:
-1. Close other applications using these ports
-2. Check for running NomadArch instances
-3. Kill the process: `taskkill /F /PID <PID>` (Windows) or `kill -9 <PID>` (Unix)
+**OAuth fails?**
+1. Check internet connection
+2. Complete OAuth in browser
+3. Clear browser cookies and retry
 
-### Layout Issues
-If the UI looks broken, try:
-1. Refresh the app (Ctrl+R or Cmd+R)
-2. Restart the application
-3. Clear node_modules and reinstall: `rm -rf node_modules && npm install`
-
-### OAuth Authentication Fails
-1. Check your internet connection
-2. Ensure you completed the OAuth flow in your browser
-3. Try logging out and back in
-4. Clear browser cookies for the OAuth provider
-
-### Build Errors
-1. Ensure you have the latest Node.js (18+)
-2. Clear npm cache: `npm cache clean --force`
-3. Delete node_modules: `rm -rf node_modules` (or `rmdir /s /q node_modules` on Windows)
-4. Reinstall: `npm install`
-
-### Sessions Not Showing on Workspace Entry
-This has been fixed with SSE connection waiting. The app now waits for the Server-Sent Events connection to be established before fetching sessions.

+# MultiX v2 - Verification & User Guide
+
+**Date:** 2025-12-25
+**Version:** 2.0.0 (Gold Master)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Feature Verification Guide
+
+### A. Core Multi-Tasking & Parallel Execution
+*   **Goal:** Verify you can run multiple agents at once without freezing.
+*   **Steps:**
+    1.  Create **Task 1**. Type "Write a long story about space" and hit Launch.
+    2.  *While Task 1 is streaming*, click the **+** button to create **Task 2**.
+    3.  Type "Write a python script for fibonacci" in Task 2 and hit Launch.
+    4.  **Result:** Both tasks should stream simultaneously. Switching tabs should be instant.
+
+### B. Per-Task Isolation (Agents & Models)
+*   **Goal:** Verify each task retains its own settings.
+*   **Steps:**
+    1.  Go to **Task 1**. Select Agent: **"Software Engineer"** and Model: **"minimax-m2"**.
+    2.  Go to **Task 2**. Select Agent: **"Writer"** and Model: **"deepseek-chat"**.
+    3.  Switch back and forth.
+    4.  **Result:** The selectors should update to reflect the saved state for each task.
+
+### C. AI Agent Generator (NEW)
+*   **Goal:** Create a custom agent using AI.
+*   **Steps:**
+    1.  Open the **Agent Selector** dropdown.
+    2.  Click **"✨ AI Agent Generator"**.
+    3.  Type: *"A rust expert who is sarcastic and funny"*.
+    4.  Click **"Generate Agent"**.
+    5.  Review the generated name, description, and system prompt.
+    6.  Click **"Save & Use Agent"**.
+    7.  **Result:** The new agent is saved and immediately selected.
+
+### D. Prompt Enhancer
+*   **Goal:** strict Opus 4.5 prompt optimization.
+*   **Steps:**
+    1.  Type a simple prompt: *"fix bug"*.
+    2.  Click the **Magic Wand (✨)** button in the input area.
+    3.  **Result:** The prompt is expanded into a professional, structured request using the active model.
+
+### E. Compaction System
+*   **Goal:** Manage context window usage.
+*   **Steps:**
+    1.  In a long chat, look for the **"Compact suggested"** banner at the top of the chat list.
+    2.  Click **"Compact"** in the banner or the header bar.
+    3.  **Result:** The session history is summarized, freeing up tokens while keeping context.
+

+ * MultiX Chat v2 - Rebuilt with Polling-Based Architecture
+ * 
+ * This component eliminates UI freezes by using:
+ * 1. Local signals for all state (no reactive memos on stores)
+ * 2. Polling intervals for store sync (100-500ms)
+ * 3. Deferred store updates (non-blocking)
+ * 4. Direct fetch for chat API when needed
+ * 
+ * All 88 features from the original MultiTaskChat are preserved.

+const ENHANCEMENT_PROMPT = `You are an ELITE Software Architect and Prompt Engineer, powered by the "ThoughtBox" reasoning engine.
+
+YOUR MISSION:
+Transform the user's raw input into a "God-Tier" System Prompt—a comprehensive, execution-ready technical specification that a senior engineer could implement without further questions.
+
+TARGET OUTPUT:
+- Detailed, file-level architectural blueprint
+- Explicit coding standards (TypeScript/solid-js/tailwindcss context implied)
+- Comprehensive error handling and edge case strategy
+- Step-by-step implementation plan
+
+METHODOLOGY (ThoughtBox):
+1. **Decode Intent**: What is the root problem? What is the *value*?
+2. **Context Inference**: Assume a high-performance TypeScript/React/Electron environment. Infer necessary imports, stores, and services.
+3. **Architectural Strategy**: Define the component hierarchy, state management (signals/stores), and side effects.
+4. **Specification Generation**: Write the actual prompt.
+
+OUTPUT FORMAT:
+Return ONLY the enhanced prompt string, formatted as follows:
+
+# 🎯 OBJECTIVE
+[Concise, high-level goal]
+
+# 🏗️ ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
+- **Files**: List exact file paths to touch/create.
+- **Components**: Define props, state, and interfaces.
+- **Data Flow**: Explain signal/store interactions.
+
+# 🛡️ RESTRICTIONS & STANDARDS
+- **Tech Stack**: TypeScript, SolidJS, TailwindCSS, Lucide Icons.
+- **Rules**: NO placeholders, NO "todo", Strict Types, Accessibility-first.
+- **Context**: [Infer from input, e.g., "Use ContextEngine for retrieval"]
