The desktop updater now renders release notes as markdown, avoids fake 0%
progress when the server omits Content-Length, and remembers when the user
has dismissed a specific release prompt so reopening the app does not nag
again for the same version.
Constraint: Existing 0.1.4 clients can receive updater events without total size metadata and users still need a manual update path in About
Rejected: Keep repeating the prompt on every launch | creates avoidable noise after an explicit later decision
Rejected: Global dismiss flag for all future releases | would hide newer versions that should prompt again
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep prompt suppression keyed to availableVersion only; About page visibility and manual update actions must remain available
Tested: bun run test src/stores/updateStore.test.ts src/components/shared/UpdateChecker.test.tsx src/__tests__/generalSettings.test.tsx; bun run lint; manual local updater validation from 0.1.4 to 0.1.5 on /Applications and an extracted v0.1.4 release bundle
Not-tested: Signed and notarized macOS distribution behavior outside this local machine
Desktop sessions were failing before the actual fetch because Anthropic's domain preflight can be unreachable on restricted networks, and the next runtime path was missing turndown for HTML-to-Markdown conversion.
This change defaults desktop sessions to skip the preflight unless the user explicitly overrides it, exposes that behavior as a desktop General setting, seeds new settings JSON with the desktop-safe default, and adds regression coverage for both the runtime default and the UI toggle. It also adds the missing turndown dependency so successful fetches can continue through HTML reduction instead of failing at module resolution.
Constraint: Desktop must keep an escape hatch for users who want upstream preflight restored explicitly
Rejected: Force skipWebFetchPreflight globally for every session | would silently change CLI and non-desktop behavior
Rejected: UI-only toggle without runtime default | existing desktop users would still fail until they manually opened settings
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep desktop-specific WebFetch behavior scoped to desktop session detection and explicit user settings; do not broaden it to general CLI flows without separate validation
Tested: bun test src/tools/WebFetchTool/utils.test.ts; cd desktop && bun run lint; cd desktop && bunx vitest run src/__tests__/generalSettings.test.tsx; runtime import verification for turndown via node
Not-tested: End-to-end desktop packaging smoke test against a freshly built DMG/app bundle
The empty-session composer now loads user and project slash commands
before the first turn instead of falling back to the built-in list,
which keeps the packaged desktop app aligned with the web UI. This
commit also bumps the desktop release version metadata to 0.1.3 so the
release workflow publishes the correct artifacts.
Constraint: Desktop release automation is triggered by semantic version tags and reads the version from desktop release metadata
Rejected: Tagging v0.1.3 without a release commit | would publish stale 0.1.2 metadata and miss the slash-command fix
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep EmptySession slash-command loading aligned with ChatInput so packaged and web entry flows do not diverge again

This merges the detached-worktree desktop fixes back into main, preserving the
existing Computer Use modal changes on main while bringing over the project
skill discovery fallback, skills settings cwd-awareness, sidebar tab cleanup,
and the empty-session hero composer styling.
Constraint: Main already carried newer desktop session UI changes that had to be preserved during merge resolution
Rejected: Abort the merge and cherry-pick individual files | unnecessary once the only conflict was isolated to ActiveSession.tsx
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: When merging detached-worktree desktop branches into main, keep ActiveSession conflict resolution additive so session overlays and composer variants survive together
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/sessions.test.ts; cd desktop && bun run test -- --run src/__tests__/skillsSettings.test.tsx src/components/layout/Sidebar.test.tsx src/__tests__/pages.test.tsx src/pages/ActiveSession.test.tsx; cd desktop && bun run lint
Not-tested: Manual post-merge GUI verification in the local main worktree app bundle
The desktop app previously lost project-level skills in two places: the
settings browser only queried user skills, and the slash-command picker for a
fresh session depended on CLI init state that does not exist before the first
turn. This change makes the skills APIs cwd-aware, falls back to project skill
loading before CLI init, syncs sidebar session deletion with open tabs, and
aligns the empty-session composer styling so the pre-message session UI stays
consistent.
Constraint: Fresh desktop sessions need slash-command discovery before the CLI websocket emits system/init
Constraint: Only repository code should be committed; build artifacts, installs, and /tmp smoke fixtures stay out of git
Rejected: Rebuild slash-command listings from full getCommands() in the sessions API | introduced auth-gated command dependencies unrelated to local skill discovery
Rejected: Unify EmptySession and ChatInput into one full component now | higher regression risk for normal chat interactions than a visual-only hero variant
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep pre-message skill discovery keyed to session workDir so project-level .claude/skills remain visible before the first turn
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/sessions.test.ts; cd desktop && bun run test -- --run src/__tests__/skillsSettings.test.tsx src/components/layout/Sidebar.test.tsx src/__tests__/pages.test.tsx src/pages/ActiveSession.test.tsx; cd desktop && bun run lint
Not-tested: Manual desktop smoke test against the rebuilt .app bundle in the local GUI
Desktop sessions were missing a visible request_access approval path and could
mis-detect their own app window as an unapproved frontmost target, which caused
Computer Use clicks to fail even after opening the intended app. On macOS, text
entry was also split across inconsistent clipboard and keystroke paths, making
Electron inputs unreliable for Chinese and short strings.
This change adds a desktop approval bridge over the existing session websocket,
renders a dedicated desktop approval modal, threads the real desktop bundle id
into the Computer Use executor, and switches macOS clipboard typing onto the
native pasteboard plus system paste shortcut path. It also makes tool error
results expandable in the desktop chat UI so frontmost-gate failures are fully
visible during debugging.
Constraint: Desktop sessions run the CLI over the SDK websocket path, so Ink tool JSX dialogs are not visible there
Constraint: macOS IME and Electron text inputs are unreliable with pyautogui.write and generic hotkey synthesis
Rejected: Reuse CLI setToolJSX dialogs in desktop mode | no transport for mid-call Ink UI over the SDK bridge
Rejected: Keep shell pbcopy/pbpaste for clipboard typing | inconsistent with NSPasteboard path and less reliable for Chinese text
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep desktop Computer Use approvals and macOS text-entry behavior on a single bridge/path; avoid reintroducing separate CLI-only and desktop-only codepaths for the same action

This bundles the pending desktop/server team-session fixes with the local adapter recovery changes already in the worktree. The team path now keeps teammate membership stable under concurrent spawns, surfaces real teammate identities in the desktop UI, and allows direct interaction with member transcripts. The adapter changes recover automatically when stale thinking signatures invalidate an existing session.
Constraint: Team config writes can happen concurrently while multiple reviewers spawn in parallel
Constraint: Desktop member views must follow mailbox/transcript semantics rather than hijacking teammate runtime sessions
Rejected: Keep relying on config.json alone for member discovery | in-process teammates can be lost after concurrent writes
Rejected: Open teammate sessionIds as normal desktop sessions | would attach a second CLI instead of the running teammate
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Preserve locked team-file mutation for any future teammate registration path and keep teammate labels sourced from member names before agent types

- quality: optimistic update rollback in settingsStore; error state in
providerStore/teamStore; i18n for all hardcoded English strings
- docs: desktop architecture and features docs updated; VitePress nav fixed

This folds together the desktop-side fixes needed before broader rollout.
Session resume no longer deadlocks waiting on init, Mermaid and inline image
output render inside chat, task and sub-agent state stay visible during
execution, local build/release paths are safer, and Feishu/Telegram now expose
lightweight mobile commands (/help, /status, /clear) without adding a new
adapter-specific protocol.
Constraint: Desktop releases must publish updater artifacts from non-draft GitHub releases
Constraint: IM commands need short, phone-friendly responses and low operational complexity
Rejected: Add a dedicated IM command API surface | re-used existing slash commands and session/task REST endpoints to keep adapters thin
Rejected: Wait for task_update push events in WebUI | added low-risk polling because the current frontend ignores that event path
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: broad
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep IM command replies terse and mobile-first, and merge local fallback slash commands when server-provided lists are partial

Update all components, hooks, and tests to use the new per-session
chatStore API where state is keyed by sessionId under `sessions` and
all action methods require sessionId as the first parameter.

The desktop app now keeps the composer stable while turns are active,
reduces low-signal tool noise in the transcript, restores project context
under the composer after session creation, and relies on the CLI's own
permission requests instead of injecting broader desktop-side Bash asks.
This also brings in the supporting desktop app source tree and the server
routes/session metadata needed for git info, filesystem browsing, session
resume, slash commands, and SDK-backed permission bridging so the UI can
operate as a coherent feature instead of a partial patch.
Constraint: Desktop transcript needs to stay usable during long multi-tool sessions without hiding file-change diffs
Constraint: Permission prompts must mirror CLI behavior closely enough that read-only commands do not get desktop-only prompts
Rejected: Keep rendering Read/Bash bodies inline | too noisy and unlike the intended transcript model
Rejected: Commit only the touched desktop files | would leave the newly introduced desktop app incomplete in git history
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: broad
Reversibility: messy
Directive: Treat non-writing tools as summary-first transcript events; do not re-expand them by default without validating the UX against long sessions
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- --run
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/conversations.test.ts
Not-tested: Manual visual regression against the exact screenshots in a live desktop session
