Fix four root causes in the desktop preview pipeline, surfaced when the
model writes the files the user pointed it at:
- Output chips guessed paths from prose and could point at a missing file.
They are now reconciled against the turn's real changed files: a bare
`index.html` resolves to the `todo-app/index.html` actually written, and
mentions the turn never changed are dropped.
- A standalone single-page index.html got no browser preview (mistaken for a
Vite template). It is now only routed to the source view when a
package.json/vite.config ships in the same change-set.
- Files written outside the session workdir (another folder, or another drive
on Windows) failed to preview with 'Path is outside workspace'. The turn's
changed-file directories are registered as filesystem access roots; html
serves via /local-file and other files via a workdir-relaxed read.
- The visual-selection prompt leaked as a raw bubble on Windows because the
server-appended '[Image source: ...]' line broke replay dedupe. Replay text
is now metadata-normalized before comparison (affects any image message).
Adds unit tests for each: htmlPreviewPolicy, assistantOutputTargets
reconciliation, replay dedupe + stripGeneratedImageMetadataLines, filesystem
access roots, and workspace outside-workdir reads.

api_retry heartbeats already reach the desktop status bar, but the
streaming-to-non-streaming fallback had no signal at all: the CLI only
flipped an internal flag, and the one-shot fallback response can take
minutes with zero incremental output, so the UI showed a bare spinner
the whole time.
- CLI: yield a {type:'system', subtype:'streaming_fallback', cause}
message at both fallback sites (stream error/watchdog and 404 stream
creation), mirroring the existing api_error -> api_retry path through
query.ts passthrough, QueryEngine SDK output, and the SDK schema.
- Server: translate it to a streaming_fallback ServerMessage;
unrecognized causes normalize to 'unknown' instead of dropping the
event.
- Desktop: track it as active-turn state (cleared at the same 12 sites
as apiRetry; a fallback notice supersedes the stale retry banner) and
render a neutral pill with the turn timer - expected state, not an
error, so no amber styling and nothing in the diagnostics panel.
- Retry banner now shows "retrying now" once the countdown elapses
instead of sticking at "waiting 0s".
With 62241a31 disabling the non-streaming fallback for desktop CLI
sessions, this notice mainly covers the 404 gateway path (which skips
the disable check), callers that re-enable fallback via env, and
non-desktop SDK consumers.
Constraint: Retries and fallbacks are expected states per the
diagnostics severity standard - lightweight active-turn UI only, no
error-panel entries, no transcript persistence.

Not-tested: live provider outage reproduction; verified via unit
coverage of the translation, store lifecycle, and indicator rendering.
The context usage indicator stayed at the pre-compact percentage (e.g.
100%) until the next API response arrived. Two stacked causes:
- The CLI anchors the displayed total to max(local estimate, last API
usage) so the meter never drops mid-turn — but preserved messages
(SM-compact / partial compact) still carried the pre-compact usage,
pinning the meter after compaction. buildPostCompactMessages now
zeroes token usage on preserved assistant copies, the established
stale placeholder that getCurrentUsage() skips, covering every
compaction path in one place. Originals are not mutated, so
transcript and cost accounting are unaffected.
- Right after compaction the CLI is often still busy, so the
indicator's refresh timed out ("Request timed out after 30s") and the
catch kept the stale context on screen with no later retry (auto
refresh is throttled to 10s and stops once the session goes idle).
compact_boundary now bumps a per-session compactCount; the indicator
force-refreshes on that nonce — bypassing the throttle and any
in-flight request that may still hold pre-compact data — and retries
once after 5s if the forced refresh fails.

Desktop injected a far stricter timeout stack than the terminal CLI, so
healthy-but-slow third-party providers (sensenova/bailian/zhipu) died at
exactly API_TIMEOUT_MS while the UI showed "running" forever:
- API_TIMEOUT_MS is the SDK client's time-to-first-byte budget for
streaming requests; these gateways send zero bytes (no headers, no
SSE ping) until prefill finishes, which takes minutes at large
contexts. Raise the default from 120s to the SDK's own 600s and widen
the configurable range to 30-1800s.
- Widen the desktop-forced stream watchdog idle window to 240s so
silent thinking/prefill phases stop tripping the 90s default.
- Disable the non-streaming fallback for desktop CLI sessions: a
non-streaming request only responds after the FULL generation, so it
can never finish inside the same budget and loops timeout aborts
forever while the UI spins (also avoids double tool execution,
upstream inc-4258). All three knobs respect caller env overrides.
Repro: mock upstream whose SSE stays silent for 150s before a complete
event sequence — terminal env completes; desktop env aborts at exactly
120s (client timeout) or 90s watchdog + non-streaming fallback loop;
the fixed env completes both variants.

Token counts were rendered with five inconsistent formats across the
chat UI (header "181,117 t", in-progress bare "↓ 2514", background
agents "12,345 tokens", compact summary "1.5k", trace "1.2k"), and the
in-progress count was actually stale: the server never set the status
event's tokens field, so the indicator showed the previous turn's value
(hence "first message shows nothing", "sometimes appears, never moves").
- Add shared desktop lib/formatTokenCount; route header, streaming
indicator, background agents, compact summary, and trace through it.
- Header shows compact "124.3k tokens" with the exact count on hover.
- Add common.tokens i18n key (en/zh/zh-TW/jp/kr).
- Estimate the in-progress count from streamed chars (÷4, mirroring the
CLI spinner) via a new streamingResponseChars per-session field, reset
on each send; drop the dead status.tokens/elapsed fields.
- CLI spinner rows use formatTokens to drop the "1.0k" artifact.

- add language-switcher entries (简体中文 / 繁體中文 / 日本語 / 한국어)
- localize chat message timestamps: Han 年月日 for zh/zh-TW/jp, Intl ko-KR for kr
- extend the DATE_LOCALES map in ActivitySettings (ja-JP / ko-KR / zh-TW)
- tests: formatMessageTimestamp locale branches + i18n locale resolution
Korean terminology follows the Microsoft Korean localization style guide
(새로 고침 / 사용·사용 안 함 / 이름 바꾸기, 합니다-style sentences).

Complete the Electron replacement boundary before merging by removing the renderer-side Tauri host fallback, tightening H5/browser access so only desktop navigation is tokenless, and moving desktop release publication to a tag-driven GitHub Actions matrix with a single final publish job.

Introduce the Electron desktop shell alongside the existing React renderer and local Bun server boundary. The migration keeps the DesktopHost contract explicit across Tauri, Electron, and browser runtimes while adding Electron main/preload services for dialogs, shell, notifications, updates, tray/window lifecycle, terminal, preview WebContentsView, app mode, and release/package validation.

MCP settings could remount into a full-page spinner even when cached server data was available, and overlapping refreshes could let stale responses replace newer state. Historical chat sessions also had no explicit history-loading state, so slow transcript reads looked like a blank session.
This keeps cached MCP/session lists visible during refresh, ignores stale list responses, clears the selected MCP server when returning to the list, and gives historical sessions explicit loading/error states with de-duped history loads.
