Desktop-managed sessions were blocking the first visible token on slow or failing
regular MCP connections, which made the UI feel much slower than direct bin runs.
This keeps partial assistant streaming enabled for desktop sessions and moves
regular MCP connection work off the critical path only for sdk-url startup.
Constraint: Desktop sdk-url sessions must preserve chat responsiveness even when local MCP endpoints fail or hang
Rejected: Leave MCP startup fully blocking in sdk-url mode | first visible token stayed several seconds behind direct CLI runs
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep blocking MCP startup for plain -p sessions unless you re-measure first-turn latency and tool availability tradeoffs
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/conversation-service.test.ts src/server/__tests__/conversations.test.ts; same-prompt timing comparison for direct bin vs sdk-url session path
Not-tested: Immediate first-turn availability of slow regular MCP tools in desktop sdk-url sessions
When a custom provider (e.g. MiniMax) is activated, settings.model still
contains the old Anthropic model ID. handleCurrentModel was returning this
raw ID as the model name instead of the provider's configured model.
Fix handleCurrentModel to use ANTHROPIC_MODEL from env (set by
syncToSettings when provider was activated) when no explicit model is
set. Also fix getRuntimeSettings to skip passing --model to CLI when a
provider is active and model is still the default — the CLI should read
ANTHROPIC_MODEL from env instead of receiving a wrong model ID override.

- Replace getActiveProvider() calls with listProviders() + activeId lookup
- Convert ModelMapping to model list for API compatibility
- Widen provider form dialog from 600px to 720px

Implement a full Provider management layer compatible with Claude Code's settings.json protocol.
- ProviderService: CRUD + activation + settings.json sync + HTTP connectivity test
- Provider REST API: 8 endpoints (list, get, create, update, delete, activate, test)
- API key masking in GET responses (sk-a****xyz)
- Models API refactored to read from active Provider dynamically
- 42 unit tests + 6 real-config integration tests, all passing

- Enforce auth on API/WS when non-localhost or SERVER_AUTH_REQUIRED=1
- Fix CronScheduler: add --verbose flag and correct stream-json message envelope
- Resolve session workdir from JSONL file instead of hardcoding process.cwd()
- Give Opus 4.6 1M a unique composite ID (claude-opus-4-6-20250610:1m)

Add complete server-side implementation for the Claude Code Desktop App UI:
- REST API: sessions, conversations, settings, models, scheduled tasks,
search, agents, and status endpoints (9 modules, 30+ endpoints)
- WebSocket: real-time chat streaming with state transitions, ping/pong,
permission request forwarding, and stop generation support
- Services: sessionService (JSONL read/write, CLI-compatible),
settingsService (atomic writes), cronService, searchService (ripgrep),
agentService (YAML management)
- Middleware: CORS (localhost-only), auth, unified error handling
- Tests: 180 tests (unit + E2E + business flow), all passing
- Docs: PRD, UI design spec, server architecture design
Non-invasive: all new code under src/server/, no changes to existing CLI code.
CLI/UI data interop: reads/writes the same JSONL/JSON files as the CLI.
