Keys are xterm `ITheme` names (`background`, `foreground`, `cursor`, `selectionBackground`, the 16 ANSI colors, …); values are hex (`#rgb` / `#rrggbb` / `#rrggbbaa`). Unknown keys / bad values are dropped. |
 | `fontSize`   | Terminal font size in px for this directory (8–32), overriding the Settings value. A size outside the range is clamped; a non-number is ignored. Changing it re-fits the terminal, so the PTY learns the new width — unlike browser zoom, which leaves the two disagreeing. |
-| `orderPriority` | This directory's rank in the grid's **priority** ordering — the third mode on the toolbar's ordering button, next to auto (attention-first) and manual (the move buttons). Any integer, **lowest first**; negatives are allowed. Directories that set nothing sort last, keeping their existing order, so adding the key to one project doesn't shuffle the rest.

 | `fontFamily` | CSS font-family stack for this directory's terminals, overriding the global `fontFamily`. Use the names as your OS lists them (`"'Cica', 'MS Gothic', monospace"`). An unusable stack is ignored whole rather than half-applied; `monospace` is appended if you name no generic family. Prefer fonts whose fullwidth glyphs are exactly twice the Latin width, or box-drawing frames tear. |
 | `sound`      | Attention sound for this directory's sessions, a path **relative to the directory** (served at `GET /api/dir-sound`). The fallback for every kind. |
 | `sounds`     | Per-kind override of `sound`: `{ "command-failed": "preset:gong" }`. Each value is a `preset:<id>` or a directory-relative path, under the same confinement. |
 | `appendSystemPrompt` | Whether this directory's Claude sessions are asked to end a reply with a **closing summary** (see [Closing summary](#closing-summary)). Omit to follow the global `appendSystemPrompt`, which is on; `true` / `false` here outranks it. Read per spawn, so a new session in this directory picks up an edit without a restart. |
+| `worktreeEnv` | Values every working tree of this project needs its **own** of — the port its dev server binds, the database its migrations touch. A worktree isolates files, not ports: two trees running `yarn dev` both reach for 3000 and the second one dies. Each variable is `{ "kind": "port", "base": <1024–65215> }` (a free port, `base` + a multiple of 10 — the checkout keeps `base`, its worktrees take the numbers above it) or `{ "kind": "slug", "prefix": "…" }` (a `[a-z0-9_]` name from the tree's task name, ≤ 63 chars, for a database / schema / container). Up to 16, under whatever names the project reads (`PORT`, `VITE_PORT`, …). A value is **reserved once and kept** (`~/.mulmoterminal/worktree-env.jsonl`) for as long as its declaration is unchanged, so a running dev server's port never moves under it; editing `base` re-allocates, renaming or dropping a variable releases what it held, and removing the worktree releases all of them. Set on every terminal in the directory — agent cell, Shell, launcher, Run command — and shown on the header's `env` chip, where a port is a link to `http://localhost:<port>`. MulmoTerminal hands out the name; creating the database is the project's own job. |

Relative entries resolve against **this file's directory** (`"../shared-lib"`), a path that doesn't exist is dropped, max 16. Claude only: codex has no equivalent flag and ignores the key. |

+**A launcher chip is not an agent session — it is a command.** Whatever the command line names,

+Canvas. If you want a chip to reach the GUI tools, put the flags in the command yourself.
