"support" after a restart resumes the same conversation. send() resolves when the runtime accepts the turn, not when the reply finishes — watch thread.on("status") / thread.on("event") before treating the thread as idle. Call ade.dispose() when the host shuts down.
Check the machine
doctor() reports sdkVersion (this package) and the runtime binary version separately — they ship on different cadences. providers.status() lists which CLIs are installed and authenticated. Provider credentials live in the provider’s own config (~/.claude, ~/.codex, ~/.cursor, …), not under home.
Permissions
"always-allow" maps to each provider’s full-auto create args. "default" leaves the provider’s usual approval prompts in place.
