 ## Architecture
 
+Runtime split:
+
+- `aimux` UI connects to the IPC daemon over the app protocol.
+- The IPC daemon owns the app-facing socket, protocol negotiation, and reconnect behavior.
+- The terminal manager owns PTYs, xterm headless emulators, and live session state.
+
+This split lets the app or IPC daemon change protocols without dropping live shells.

+By default the app talks to the background IPC daemon. For explicit single-process debugging only, set `AIMUX_LOCAL_BACKEND=1` before starting aimux.
+
+Profiles live under `~/.config/aimux/<profile>/`. Each profile gets its own config, session catalog, snippet catalog, and matching runtime namespace.
+
+The repository `bun run dev`, `bun run start`, and `bun run restart-daemon` scripts set `AIMUX_PROFILE=dev`, so source builds use `~/.config/aimux/dev/` and their own IPC daemon / terminal-manager sockets instead of interfering with a globally installed `aimux` instance.
+
+You can override the active profile manually with `AIMUX_PROFILE=<name>` when you need multiple isolated environments on the same machine. `AIMUX_RUNTIME_PROFILE` is still accepted as a fallback alias for runtime compatibility.
+
+This profile move is intentionally breaking: aimux no longer reads legacy flat config or catalog files once profile directories are enabled.
