 ## Architecture
 
@@ -27,9 +31,9 @@ The codebase is split into two layers:
 
 **`bcc_core.py`** — All logic with no GUI imports. Contains:
 - `Profile` / `ServerEntry` dataclasses (the data model)
-- `discover_profiles()` — scans the platform's app-support directory for `Claude*` folders (Claude Desktop) **and** always adds `~/.claude/settings.json` (Claude Code, cross-platform)
+- `discover_profiles()` — scans the platform's app-support directory for `Claude*` folders (Claude Desktop) **and** always adds `~/.claude.json` (Claude Code user scope — what `claude mcp add` writes). `~/.claude/settings.json` is NOT a server config (it rejects `mcpServers` with a schema error) and is only surfaced, labelled legacy, if servers are found parked in it. Project-scope `.mcp.json` files can be opened via Add config…
 - `load_config` / `extract_servers` / `apply_servers` / `write_config` — the read/write pipeline; writes are atomic with rotating timestamped backups in `.bcc_backups/`
-- `parse_pasted_json()` — accepts three JSON shapes (full config, inner map, or bare server object)
+- `parse_pasted_json()` / `parse_pasted_json_verbose()` — accepts three JSON shapes (full config, inner map, or bare server object). Input does not have to be valid JSON: `repair_json_text()` auto-fixes markdown fences, surrounding prose, `//` `/* */` `#` comments, trailing/missing commas, smart quotes, single quotes, unquoted keys, Python/JS literals, and unclosed braces. The verbose variant also returns human-readable notes describing every repair applied (shown live in the paste dialog)
 - `check_dependency()` / `diagnostics_text()` / `pin_command_path()` — PATH resolution logic; distinguishes "found on normal PATH" (ok) vs "found only on augmented PATH" (warn) vs "not found" (missing). Uses an `lru_cache`-memoized `augmented_path()` that extends the inherited PATH with common runtime locations (nvm, homebrew, cargo, volta, etc.)
 - `test_remote()` — synchronous HTTP reachability check, intended to run off the UI thread

+# HANDOFF — BCC feature backlog implementation
+
+For the Claude Code agent working in this repo. Read this whole file, then
+CLAUDE.md, before touching code. A supervising Claude session watches this
+project through the Gitea MCP (issues, PRs, CI runs on git.avezzano.io), so
+keep all state in Gitea where it can be seen: issues for work items, PRs for
+changes, comments for decisions.
+
+## Step 0 — sync state
+
+`main` may contain local commits that aren't on origin yet (the previous
+session couldn't push). Run `git status` / `git log origin/main..main`; if
+there are unpushed commits, **push them first** and confirm CI goes green
+before starting anything.
+
+## Step 1 — file the backlog as issues
+
+Create one Gitea issue per item in the backlog table below (`tea` CLI or the
+API — you have full credentials). Prefix titles with the ID (e.g.
+"[#2] Stdio server spawn-test"). Create labels P0/P1/P2 first if they don't
+exist. Copy each item's full section from `../bcc-feature-requests.md`
+(sibling of this repo folder) into the issue body — it has problem statements,
+evidence, proposed fixes, and acceptance criteria.
+
+**Corrections to that document — do not re-implement:**
+- "Doc correction: README Claude Code path" — DONE (commit `b16c0fd`).
+- Item 1 (secret masking) — MOSTLY DONE (commit `6dee318`): env/header values
+  masked via delegate + Show-secrets toggle, Add-dialog password echo,
+  diagnostics args redaction (`redact_args`). **Only remainder:** the warning
+  badge when a secret-shaped value sits in `args` instead of `env`. File the
+  issue scoped to just that.
+
+## Step 2 — work the backlog
+
+| Order | ID | Item | Priority | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | 2 | Stdio server spawn-test | P0 | Spawn with timeout, capture stderr; core logic in bcc_core (GUI-free, testable) |
+| 2 | 3 | Backup restore UI | P0 | List `.bcc_backups/`, preview/diff, restore through normal atomic-write path |
+| 3 | 4 | Stale-file protection | P0 | mtime/hash at load, re-check before write, prompt on conflict |
+| 4 | 1r | Secret-in-args warning badge | P0 | Remainder of item 1; `is_secret_key`/`_is_secret_value` already exist in bcc_core |
+| 5 | 8 | Duplicate-name conflict on paste/import | P1 | VERIFY FIRST: check `paste_json`/`dropEvent` in bcc.py for silent overwrite; file findings on the issue before coding |
+| 6 | 5 | Cross-client support (Cursor/Windsurf/VS Code) | P1 | VS Code uses `servers` not `mcpServers` — needs a read/write adapter, not just paths |
+| 7 | 6 | In-app MCP log viewer | P1 | Platform log paths in the doc |
+| 8 | 7 | Windows MSIX path detection | P1 | Can't test locally on macOS — unit-test the detection logic, note that in the PR |
+| 9 | 9 | Restart Claude Desktop button | P1 | Platform-specific process handling; scope to Desktop only |
+| 10 | 10 | Server catalog / one-click add | P2 | Design pass first — post a proposal as an issue comment before building |
+
+## Workflow rules
+
+- **Branch per issue** off `main`: `feat/<issue-number>-short-slug` (or
+  `fix/`). One issue per PR. Reference the issue in the PR description
+  (`Closes #N`).
+- **Before every commit:** `python -m pytest` (all green), `ruff check .`,
+  `ruff format .`. CI enforces all three.
+- **Conventional commits** (`feat:`, `fix:`, `test:`, `docs:`, `chore:`) —
+  match the existing history's style: body explains the why.
+- **Merge only with green CI.** If the supervising session has flagged
+  something on the PR, resolve it before merging.
+
+## Architecture guardrails (violating these fails review)
+
+1. **The cardinal rule:** config writes only ever touch `mcpServers` and
+   `_disabledMcpServers`. Every other key is preserved verbatim, in order.
+   This matters extra for `~/.claude.json`, which holds conversation history
+   and project state.
+2. **Core/GUI split:** all logic in `bcc_core.py` (no GUI imports, unit-
+   testable); `bcc.py` stays a thin PySide6 shell. New logic gets tests in
+   `tests/` — they run without PySide6, keep it that way.
+3. **No new runtime dependencies** without posting the justification on the
+   issue first. PySide6 is currently the only one.
+4. **Writes are atomic + backed up** — route any new disk writes through
+   `write_config()`.
+5. Secrets never appear in diagnostics output or logs — use `redact_args`/
+   `is_secret_key` from bcc_core.
+
+## Current state (as of this handoff)
+
+- **92 tests** in `tests/test_core.py`, ruff clean, CI = lint + pytest (py3.10/3.12).
+- `main` = `ece049c` (PR #16 merged). No unpushed commits.
+- **Completed items:** #2 (spawn-test, PR #11), #3 (backup restore UI, PR #14),
+  #4 (stale-file protection, PR #15), #1r (secret-in-args warning, PR #16).
+- **Next item:** #8 — duplicate-name conflict handling. **VERIFY FIRST:** read
+  `paste_json` and `dropEvent` in `bcc.py` to check whether pasting/dropping a
+  server with a name that already exists silently overwrites it; file your
+  findings as a comment on issue #8 before writing any code.
+- Recent features you should know exist: lenient JSON repair
+  (`repair_json_text`, `parse_pasted_json_verbose`, `repair_config_file` +
+  RepairDialog), ArgsEdit numbered gutter + `split_suspicious_args`,
+  resizable splitters with QSettings persistence, secret masking, Claude Code
+  profile at `~/.claude.json` (settings.json only as "legacy" when it holds
+  parked servers), backup restore UI (RestoreDialog, `list_backups`,
+  `backup_diff`, `restore_backup`), stale-file protection (StaleDialog,
+  `config_mtime`, `external_change_summary`).
+- GUI can't be smoke-tested in CI; note in each PR whether you ran
+  `python bcc.py` locally and what you checked.
