 # WebSocket Communication Protocol
 
-This document outlines the WebSocket communication protocol between the Portacode server and the connected client devices.
+This document outlines the WebSocket communication protocol used in Portacode. The protocol involves three main participants: client sessions, the Portacode server, and devices.

+```
+
+The Portacode server acts as a **routing middleman** between client sessions and devices. It manages routing fields that are included in messages to specify routing destinations but are removed or transformed before reaching the final recipient:
+
+**Routing Fields Behavior:**
+
+- **`device_id`** (Client → Server): Client includes this to specify which device to route to. Server uses it for routing, then **removes it** before forwarding to the device (the device knows the message is for them). Server **adds it** when routing device responses back to clients (so clients know which device the message came from).
+
+- **`client_sessions`** (Device → Server): Device includes this to specify which client session(s) to route to. Server uses it for routing, then **removes it** before forwarding to clients (clients just receive the message without seeing routing metadata).
+
+- **`source_client_session`** (Server → Device): Server **adds this** when forwarding client commands to devices (so device knows which client sent the command and can target responses back). Clients never include this field.
+
+This document describes the complete protocol for communicating with devices through the server, guiding app developers on how to get their client sessions to communicate with devices.

+
+---
+
+## Raw Message Format On Client Side
+
+Client sessions communicate with the server using a unified message format with the same field names as the device protocol, plus routing information.
+
+**Client-Side Message Structure (Client → Server):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "device_id": <number>,
+  "channel": <number|string>,
+  "payload": {
+    "cmd": "<command_name>",
+    ...command-specific fields
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Field Descriptions:**
+
+*   `device_id` (number, mandatory): Routing field - specifies which device to send the message to. The server validates that the client has access to this device before forwarding.
+*   `channel` (number|string, mandatory): Same as device protocol - the target channel (0 for control, UUID for terminal). Uses the same field name for consistency.
+*   `payload` (object, mandatory): Same as device protocol - the command payload. Uses the same field name for consistency.
+
+**Server Transformation (Client → Device):**
+
+When the server receives a client message, it:
+1. Validates client has access to the specified `device_id`
+2. **Removes** `device_id` from the message (device doesn't need to be told "this is for you")
+3. **Adds** `source_client_session` to the payload (so device knows which client to respond to)
+4. Forwards to device: `{channel, payload: {...payload, source_client_session}}`
+
+**Server Transformation (Device → Client):**
+
+When the server receives a device response, it:
+1. **Adds** `device_id` to the message (so client knows which device it came from, based on authenticated device connection)
+2. **Removes** `client_sessions` routing metadata (clients don't need to see routing info)
+3. Routes to appropriate client session(s)
+
+**Server Response Format (Server → Client):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "<event_name>",
+  "device_id": <number>,
+  ...event-specific fields
+}
+```
+
+**Field Descriptions:**
+
+*   `event` (string, mandatory): The name of the event being sent.
+*   `device_id` (number, mandatory): Authenticated field - identifies which device the event came from (added by server based on authenticated device connection).
+*   Additional fields depend on the specific event type.
+
+**Example Client Message:**
+```json
+{
+  "device_id": 42,
+  "channel": 0,
+  "payload": {
+    "cmd": "terminal_start",
+    "shell": "bash",
+    "cwd": "/home/user/project"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Example Server Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "event": "terminal_started",
+  "device_id": 42,
+  "terminal_id": "uuid-1234-5678",
+  "channel": "uuid-1234-5678",
+  "pid": 12345
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** The server acts as a translator between the client-side and device-side protocols:
+- When a client sends a command, the server transforms it from the client format to the device format
+- When a device sends an event, the server adds the `device_id` and routes it to the appropriate client sessions

 ## Project State Actions
 
 Project state actions manage the state of project folders, including file structures, Git metadata, open files, and folder expansion states. These actions provide real-time synchronization between the client and server for project management functionality.
 
 **Note:** Project state is automatically initialized when a client session connects with a `project_folder_path` property. No manual initialization command is required.
 
+**Tab Management:** Open tabs are internally managed using a dictionary structure with unique keys to prevent duplicates and race conditions:
+- File tabs use `file_path` as the unique key
+- Diff tabs use a composite key: `diff:{file_path}:{from_ref}:{to_ref}:{from_hash}:{to_hash}`
+- Untitled tabs use their `tab_id` as the unique key
+
+This ensures that sending the same command multiple times (e.g., `project_state_diff_open` with identical parameters) will not create duplicate tabs but will instead activate the existing tab.
+
 ### `project_state_folder_expand`
 
 Expands a folder in the project tree, loading its contents and enabling monitoring for that folder level. When a folder is expanded, the system proactively loads one level down for all subdirectories to enable immediate expansion in the UI. This action also scans items in the expanded folder and preloads content for any non-empty subdirectories.

+3. **Client Assembly**: Client collects all chunks and verifies integrity using hashes
+4. **Hash Verification**: Both individual chunk hashes and final content hash are verified
+5. **Error Handling**: Missing chunks or hash mismatches trigger request failure
+
