Research direction
Start by reviewing the deployed pilot findings in #176, the lifecycle work in #13, and the existing channel UI, shared protocol types, and CLI hosted-channel behavior mentioned in the issue. Then trace the app’s project and channel creation flows and owner setup flow. Done means the acceptance checks pass in the native app against a deployed service and real model, including workspace connection, retry, reconnect, and file placement.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Let people create a hosted channel directly from the app. Today the new-channel picker offers This Mac and Run in cloud (cloud compute, #216). A hosted channel with its workspace on this Mac is only reachable by creating it locally and then using Move to, or with ace new --hosted <url>.
Already done
- Joining the team directory, and saving its secret, from Settings (#350).
- Details show where a hosted channel runs and what waits for its workspace (#357).
- Short reasons when the service or the directory fails (#393).
- Moves show their progress (#375).
Remaining
- Add a "Hosted on " option to the new-channel place picker (
apps/app/src/dashboard.tsxPLACES) when a channel service is known. It creates the channel in that cell, with this checkout as its workspace. - Explain clearly when no service is configured or the service refuses.
Create-then-Move-to stays acceptable until this lands.
