Documents the Stack 0.2.0-dev.20260702.2 hosted-ops surface. Mutating cloud actions still require explicit confirmation.
Hosted ops brings Synth cloud state into the local cockpit without making Stack a second backend. Stack reads owner routes and stackd runtime snapshots; it does not read backend databases, raw Redis keys, or compatibility projections.

​
Surfaces

SurfaceStack shows
Hosted SMRRecent runs, status, questions, approvals, messages, WorkProducts, artifacts
ProjectsHosted projects with linked runs, Factories, deployments, and sync receipts
Research FactoriesFactory state, linked project/run hints, scheduler signals, wake/pause/resume actions
Hosted optimizersRun status, events, artifact preview/download, cancellation
Remote syncPush/pull receipts, remote gardener passes, meta-thread to SMR-run links

​
Cockpit controls

Press x to switch the Agent Bridge into remote mode. Focus Remote SMR or Hosted Optimizers with Tab, then use:
KeyAction
rRefresh remote state
j / kMove through hosted runs or jobs
fCycle Factories
tChange the mediation target
mStage a run or Factory message
wStage a Factory wake
p / uStage Factory pause or resume
v / d / lPreview, download, or preview last saved download
EnterConfirm the staged action

MCP tools

Agents should start with stack_status, then use Stack MCP tools such as:
  • stack_list_live_smrs
  • stack_list_remote_projects
  • stack_list_factories
  • stack_list_hosted_optimizer_runs
  • stack_message_live_run
  • stack_message_factory_project
  • stack_wake_factory
  • stack_control_factory
  • stack_meta_thread_bind_smr_run
  • stack_remote_sync_request
  • stack_remote_gardener_pass
Every live mutation goes through the backend owner route for that resource and requires explicit operator intent.

​
Remote gardener

The remote gardener is an auxiliary actor for local to cloud relationship management. It can narrate hosted state, record safe next actions, and request push/pull receipts. It does not make the laptop own cloud scheduling.

​
Limits

Stack hosted ops requires Synth auth. Signed out users see connect prompts and can keep using local mode. Use Connect Synth to unlock hosted features. Next: Stack MCP and Hosted inference.
