Threadlines Origins And Compatibility Policy

Threadlines began as a fork of T3 Code. We keep that attribution and upstream history, while Threadlines owns the product direction, visible app identity, release lane, and compatibility policy. Upstream remains a source of inspiration, and improvements flow back where they fit.

Current Direction

  • Threadlines is a workspace for coding agents that runs where you work: a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, a self-hostable server (Docker, VPS, homelab), a hosted web app, and phone access through device pairing.
  • Codex and Claude Code are the actively maintained providers. Drivers for other agents remain in the codebase and support for more providers is open for the future.
  • Compatibility should prevent old settings from disappearing during upgrades, but new user-facing guidance should use Threadlines names.

Identifier Policy

Use Threadlines names for new configuration, release, and observability surfaces:

  • THREADLINES_HOME
  • THREADLINES_PORT
  • THREADLINES_HOST
  • THREADLINES_NO_BROWSER
  • THREADLINES_LOG_WS_EVENTS
  • THREADLINES_AUTO_BOOTSTRAP_PROJECT_FROM_CWD
  • THREADLINES_* observability, telemetry, source-control, and release variables

Legacy BADCODE_* and T3CODE_* variables may remain as compatibility aliases where removing them would lose user data or break installed apps. When multiple aliases are present, THREADLINES_* wins.

Keep bundle IDs, app IDs, and existing local data paths stable unless a dedicated identity-migration release handles the data movement. New setup instructions should still use Threadlines environment names.

Attribution Policy

Public docs may state that Threadlines began as a fork of T3 Code. Product copy, release assets, app names, icons, and new setup instructions should lead with Threadlines.

Workspace packages use the @threadlines/* scope. Keep legacy local-storage keys, data-directory fallbacks, and environment aliases only where they are explicitly needed for upgrade compatibility.
