What problem does it solve?
LDD requires a persistent trace store, but hosts differ in how they can write data. Bootstrap-userspace automatically detects the most durable persistence tier available, installs the LDD launcher, and ensures a trace is recoverable across restarts and host environments.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Detects host persistence surfaces (filesystem, artifact/canvas, conversation-history, memory-pointer, inline-only) and silently selects the best available tier.
- Restores prior trace state when a prior store exists and announces the chosen store in the trace header.
- Installs and configures the ldd_trace launcher and trace hooks on session start for cross-host portability.
- Works across Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other hosts.
- Use Case: You begin a new LDD task and Bootstrap-userspace ensures trace data is captured from the first step.
Quick Start
Invoke bootstrap-userspace at session start to detect the best trace storage and initialize the trace store.
