# Reported issues for Persome

Pod holds 6 of 6 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

### iTerm2 AXTextArea values contain embedded NUL bytes around CJK text

<!-- Title: iTerm2 AXTextArea values contain embedded NUL bytes around CJK text -->
<!-- Labels: bug, macOS -->

### Summary

When Persome captures focused terminal text from iTerm2's shell view
(`AXTextArea`), the resulting AX value contains embedded `NUL` (`0x00`)
characters around CJK text. ASCII runs are generally unaffected internally,
although NUL characters can also occur at boundaries between ASCII and CJK
runs.

The NUL characters are stored in `focused_element.value` and can also flow

### Use Codex / Claude Code / Cursor Agent OAuth entitlements to fund Personal Model building

### What problem are you trying to solve?

Many users already have authenticated coding agents (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor Agent) via OAuth / subscription login. Persome currently requires a separate hosted API key (`persome llm setup` / `PERSOME_LLM_API_KEY`) for unattended semantic modeling stages (timeline, reducer, Faces/Volumes/Root, etc.).

That creates a high setup cost: capture and BM25 recall can work without a key, but building a useful Personal Model still needs another credential eve

### Maintain a future-macOS live compatibility matrix

## Problem

Offline CI proves the Python pipeline, but macOS capture depends on AX permission behavior, compiled Swift helpers, Screen Recording policy, and launchd details that can change across major macOS releases.

## Scope

Create a repeatable, privacy-safe live smoke checklist and machine-readable result format for supported macOS versions and Apple Silicon/Intel boundaries.

## Acceptance criteria

- Smoke covers helper compilation, AX trust, one synthetic/non-sensitive capture, daemon li

### Define the Runtime-to-benchmark export contract

## Problem

Research evaluation belongs in a separate `persome-bench` repository, but that suite needs a stable, privacy-reviewed way to consume synthetic or consented Runtime outputs without reaching into `~/.persome/index.db`.

## Scope

Define the smallest versioned interchange contract between `persome-core` and an external benchmark runner. Implement only the Runtime export/fixture side here.

## Acceptance criteria

- Contract identifies required inputs, source receipts, timestamps, absten

### Publish a machine-validatable model export schema

## Problem

`MODEL_FORMAT.md` documents the versioned Point/Line/Face/Volume/Root snapshot, and tests cover current exports, but external integrations do not have a committed JSON Schema they can validate independently.

## Scope

Generate and commit a JSON Schema for the redacted public model export contract, plus a synthetic golden export. Keep raw personal text out of both artifacts.

## Acceptance criteria

- A committed schema validates the current redacted synthetic export.
- Schema versio

### Add safe one-command Cursor MCP registration

## Problem

Persome can generate a generic stdio `mcpServers.persome` object, but Cursor users must merge it manually. The Runtime already has idempotent installers for Claude Code, Codex, Claude Desktop, and opencode.

## Scope

Add `persome install cursor` and `persome uninstall cursor` without overwriting unrelated servers or malformed user configuration.

## Acceptance criteria

- Supports project `.cursor/mcp.json` and user `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, with an explicit precedence rule.
- Writes an
