Notification clicks and repeated launches can enter the native app through OS-level activation paths, so the desktop runtime now registers Tauri's single-instance guard before sidecars or other plugins start. A second launch restores and focuses the existing main window instead of creating another app process.
Constraint: macOS and Windows launch paths must reuse the running desktop instance.
Rejected: Handle only notification click callbacks | does not cover Dock, shortcut, installer, or Windows relaunch paths.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep the single-instance plugin before sidecar startup so duplicate launches cannot create extra runtime processes.
Tested: SKIP_INSTALL=1 ./desktop/scripts/build-macos-arm64.sh

This records the user-facing 0.2.1 release notes and aligns the desktop package, Tauri config, Cargo manifest, and lockfile package version so the tag-triggered release workflow can publish the intended build.
Constraint: GitHub Release body is sourced from release-notes/v0.2.1.md in the tagged commit
Constraint: Keep provider and OpenAI login details weak in the release narrative because this release is centered on IM, notifications, context usage, and desktop stability
Rejected: Run scripts/release.ts directly | it creates a generic commit message and tag before review of the release narrative
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Do not tag v0.2.1 from a commit that lacks release-notes/v0.2.1.md or mismatched desktop version files
Tested: bun run scripts/release.ts 0.2.1 --dry
Tested: cargo check
Tested: git diff --check
Not-tested: Live release gate with real provider credentials in this commit step
Add native system notifications as a desktop-wide attention channel for permission prompts and scheduled task completion. The implementation keeps notification presentation owned by the OS, adds a user-facing enable switch with permission handling, and lets scheduled tasks choose desktop notifications without routing that channel through IM adapters.
Constraint: Notifications must use OS-native APIs without custom sound playback.
Constraint: Desktop channel is local-only and must not be sent through IM adapter delivery.
Rejected: Browser Notification API | not reliable inside the packaged Tauri desktop runtime.
Rejected: Treat desktop as an IM channel | would leak a local-only channel into server-side adapter sending.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep notification styling at the OS layer; business code should only provide title, body, dedupe, and routing decisions.
Tested: bun run check:desktop
Tested: bun run quality:pr
Tested: Computer Use macOS debug app verification for settings toggle, permission prompt, scheduled task desktop channel, and task-run polling dedupe
Not-tested: Windows and Linux native runtime smoke tests on physical hosts
This release marks the desktop app's shift from a thin CLI wrapper toward a fuller local Coding Agent workspace. It carries the reviewed v0.2.0 release notes, bumps desktop package metadata, and refreshes Cargo.lock from the pinned Tauri stack before publishing the tag-driven GitHub Actions release.
Constraint: GitHub Release body is sourced from release-notes/v0.2.0.md in the tagged commit
Constraint: Desktop releases are built remotely from the pushed v0.2.0 tag
Rejected: Publish as v0.1.10 | the release consolidates several desktop workflow and quality-gate milestones, so v0.2.0 better communicates the scope
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep the v0.2.0 tag on this commit unless the release notes or version metadata are changed together
Tested: bun run scripts/release.ts 0.2.0 --dry
Tested: bun run quality:gate --mode release --allow-live --provider-model codingplan:main:codingplan-main --provider-model minimax:main:minimax-main (18 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped)
The release script regenerated Cargo.lock after Tauri 2.11 became available, while the desktop Bun lock still resolves @tauri-apps/api and CLI to 2.10.1. Tauri's build preflight rejects that major/minor mismatch on every platform, so the Rust Tauri release stack is now pinned to the 2.10 combination already used by the previous successful release.
Constraint: v0.1.9 must keep the existing desktop Bun lock and JS Tauri packages at 2.10.1
Constraint: scripts/release.ts runs cargo generate-lockfile during release preparation
Rejected: Upgrade JS @tauri-apps packages during the release fix | larger dependency surface and unnecessary for the failed workflow
Rejected: Pin only the tauri crate | cargo still selected tauri-runtime 2.11.0, causing Rust API type mismatches
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep Rust and JS Tauri major/minor versions aligned before moving release tags
Tested: gh run view 25217609687 --log-failed
Tested: cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo generate-lockfile
Tested: cd desktop && bunx tauri build --target aarch64-apple-darwin --config src-tauri/tauri.release-ci.json --no-bundle

Not-tested: Full GitHub Actions matrix after retag
The release collects the post-v0.1.8 desktop workspace manager work, provider compatibility fixes, WebSearch fallback support, and desktop lifecycle hardening into a tagged GitHub Actions release.
Constraint: GitHub Release body is sourced from release-notes/v0.1.9.md in the tagged commit
Constraint: The release script owns version bumps for desktop/package.json, Tauri config, Cargo.toml, and Cargo.lock
Rejected: Push the script-generated generic release commit | it would violate the repository Lore commit protocol
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Do not move v0.1.9 without rerunning the release preflight and verifying the tag commit contains release-notes/v0.1.9.md
Tested: bun run scripts/release.ts 0.1.9 --dry
Tested: bun run scripts/release.ts 0.1.9
Tested: cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo check
Not-tested: GitHub Actions release workflow before tag push
The release note is now the GitHub Release source of truth, and the desktop version files have been moved together so the tag-triggered workflow can package the same version consistently.
Constraint: release-desktop.yml reads release-notes/v0.1.8.md from the tagged commit
Rejected: Push tag without a release commit | workflow requires version files and notes in the tag
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep the release notes filename aligned with the tag before pushing future releases
Tested: bun run scripts/release.ts 0.1.8 --dry
Tested: bun run scripts/release.ts 0.1.8
Not-tested: Remote GitHub Actions build before pushing the tag
The desktop release workflow reads release-notes/v0.1.6.md from the tagged commit, so this commit aligns version metadata, lockfile state, and release copy before creating the v0.1.6 tag.
Constraint: GitHub Actions packaging is triggered by pushed v*.*.* tags, not by a plain main push
Constraint: The release script expects release-notes/vX.Y.Z.md to exist in the tagged commit
Rejected: Push main without a tag | that would not start the desktop release workflow
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep version files, Cargo.lock, release notes, and the release tag aligned for desktop releases
Tested: bun run scripts/release.ts 0.1.6 --dry
Tested: git diff --cached --check
Not-tested: Remote GitHub Actions run before pushing the tag
The detached worktree implementation adds a Settings terminal for command-based setup flows. The merge keeps the target branch's current adapter/runtime dependencies while adding the new portable-pty backend, xterm frontend, UTF-8 output handling, and host-shell environment propagation.
Constraint: Target branch had newer desktop dependency changes, including anyhow in the Tauri crate.
Constraint: Existing uncommitted work in the main worktree had to stay out of this merge commit.
Rejected: Fast-forward the checked-out branch under a dirty worktree | would risk mixing unrelated local changes into the branch state.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Treat the terminal as host-shell integration; keep PATH and UTF-8 locale handling together when changing startup behavior.
Tested: cargo fmt --check
Tested: cargo test --lib
Tested: cargo check
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test src/pages/TerminalSettings.test.tsx
Tested: git diff --check
Not-tested: Rebuilt macOS DMG from the target branch after merge.
Some setup flows end in a shell command instead of a natural-language install path, so Settings now exposes a host PTY terminal backed by portable-pty and xterm. The terminal inherits the user's login-shell environment, forces a UTF-8 locale when needed, and preserves split UTF-8 output so Chinese paths render correctly.
Constraint: Desktop GUI apps do not inherit the user's interactive shell PATH on macOS.
Constraint: Command output may split UTF-8 characters across PTY reads.
Rejected: Use Tauri shell commands only | users need an interactive PTY for copy-pasted install flows.
Rejected: Ask users to edit shell profiles | terminal setup should work out of the box.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep terminal startup tied to host environment checks; do not bundle runtimes to solve PATH issues.
Tested: cargo fmt --check; cargo test --lib; cargo check; cd desktop && bun run lint; cd desktop && bun run test src/pages/TerminalSettings.test.tsx; cd desktop && bun run build; cd desktop && bun run build:macos-arm64
Tested: Computer Use verified npm is available in the built macOS app terminal and Chinese output renders after UTF-8 decoding fix.
Not-tested: Native Windows/Linux package runtime validation.
The Settings terminal added a full xterm plus Tauri PTY stack for a job
that is better handled by dedicated install and configuration flows. This
change removes the Settings tab, frontend terminal wiring, Tauri terminal
commands, and the terminal-only dependencies so the desktop settings
surface stays narrower and less fragile.
Constraint: The worktree already contains unrelated desktop icon and UI changes, so this commit stages only the terminal-removal slice
Rejected: Keep a hidden or runtime-only terminal stub | it would still preserve the heavy cross-layer maintenance surface
Rejected: Remove only the Settings tab and leave the Tauri PTY backend | that would leave dead code and unused dependencies behind
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If future install workflows need more power, prefer Settings-native actions and runtime refresh over reintroducing a general shell tab
Tested: bun x vitest run src/__tests__/generalSettings.test.tsx src/__tests__/skillsSettings.test.tsx src/__tests__/pluginsSettings.test.tsx src/__tests__/agentsSettings.test.tsx src/__tests__/mcpSettings.test.tsx src/components/settings/InstallCenter.test.tsx; bun run lint; bun run build; cargo check --manifest-path desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
Not-tested: Manual packaged desktop app click-through after removing the Settings terminal tab
Settings needed a real shell for plugin, MCP, and skill setup without relying on
a globally installed Claude CLI. Add an xterm.js terminal backed by portable-pty,
wire it into the Tauri desktop runtime, and move shell restart handoff to the
new session before old PTY teardown so the UI is less likely to stall behind
child shutdown.
Constraint: The desktop app must inject the bundled CLI into the shell environment instead of requiring a separate global install
Constraint: Restart teardown cannot block the frontend-facing Tauri command path
Rejected: Keep terminal setup inside installer chat only | that flow cannot replace an interactive shell
Rejected: Wait for old PTY shutdown before adopting the new session | it keeps restart vulnerable to hung child teardown
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Preserve new-session handoff before old-session cleanup when changing terminal lifecycle or restart logic
Tested: bunx vitest run src/__tests__/terminalPanel.test.tsx src/components/settings/TerminalPanel.restart.test.tsx; bun run lint; cargo check
Not-tested: Full packaged-app command echo and repeated manual restart behavior still need additional runtime verification
The desktop app was still falling back to raw text in release builds for some
fenced code blocks, which left bash snippets visually wrong and too heavy for
chat use. This change switches the Shiki path to the JavaScript regex engine,
restores tighter code-block defaults for chat, and bumps the desktop app
version to 0.1.4 for the release artifacts.
Constraint: The packaged Tauri app must render markdown code blocks consistently without relying on WebView WASM behavior
Constraint: Chat code blocks should stay compact and should not show line numbers unless a caller explicitly requests them
Rejected: Keep tuning fallback-only CSS | did not address the packaged highlighter path failing to initialize
Rejected: Leave line numbers on by default | too noisy for assistant replies and bash snippets
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If code blocks regress again, inspect the highlighter engine path before adjusting chat spacing CSS
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test CodeViewer.test.tsx MarkdownRenderer.test.tsx Sidebar.test.tsx
Tested: cd desktop && bun run build:macos-arm64
Not-tested: Windows packaged build after the engine switch
- Add Tauri sidecar architecture: Rust shell spawns claude-server binary,
dynamic port allocation, health-check wait loop, graceful shutdown
- Fix CORS middleware to accept `tauri://localhost` and `https://tauri.localhost`
origins from Tauri WebView, and add CORS headers to /health endpoint
- Enable native macOS window decorations (traffic lights) with Overlay title bar,
add data-tauri-drag-region on sidebar for window dragging
- Conditionally apply desktop-only padding (44px for traffic lights) vs web (12px)
- Generate brand identity: light-background app icon, horizontal logo, full icon
set (icns/ico/png) for Tauri bundle
- Add brand mark + GitHub link in sidebar, replace mascot SVG with app icon
in EmptySession page
- Update README (zh/en) and docs hero image with new branding
- Add sidecar build scripts and launcher entry points
- Gitignore Rust target/, Tauri gen/, and brand-assets candidates
