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
