The generated logo asset carried both an opaque square canvas and an inner rounded tile, so the desktop empty state and sidebar rendered a visible nested background. Rebuilt the canonical app icon with transparent outside corners, one white rounded badge, and a centered mark, then regenerated the Tauri icon set and docs raster assets from that source.
Constraint: Existing desktop views consume /app-icon.png directly with no wrapper background to remove.
Rejected: Add CSS masking around each img usage | would leave native app icons and docs assets with the same nested canvas problem.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep desktop/src-tauri/app-icon.png as the canonical 1024 RGBA source before regenerating platform icons.
Tested: cd desktop && bun run build; npm run --loglevel=error docs:build; git diff --check; sips alpha and size checks; iconutil icns size ladder; Chrome DevTools light and forced-dark screenshots.
Not-tested: full bun run verify gate, per prior instruction to skip local gate for this logo pass.
The desktop app and documentation need to present the new logo consistently, so the canonical 1024px source icon now feeds the Tauri icon family, desktop public assets, README images, and VitePress brand imagery.
Constraint: Tauri bundle icons are generated assets and must be refreshed from the source icon rather than relying on README or public image replacement alone
Rejected: Rename logo paths | existing README, desktop, and docs references can keep stable paths and pick up the new files directly
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Regenerate desktop/src-tauri/icons whenever desktop/src-tauri/app-icon.png changes
Tested: cd desktop && bun run build; npm run --loglevel=error docs:build; git diff --check; iconutil expanded icon.icns size ladder
Not-tested: full local quality gate per request
The macOS icon rendered smaller than neighboring Dock icons because the
source artwork left a 120px margin on the 1024px canvas. Scale the macOS
source to the expected 96px margin and regenerate the Tauri icon set so
bundled app assets stay in sync.
Constraint: macOS source artwork should fit a 1024px canvas with 96px icon spacing
Rejected: Adjust only the Dock screenshot or public preview asset | packaged icon.icns would remain undersized
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Regenerate desktop/src-tauri/icons when changing app-icon-macos.svg
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: icon.icns expanded 1024px image reports 96px margins on all sides
Not-tested: Full macOS app rebuild
Desktop sessions can switch provider and model while a CLI subprocess is already alive, so the server now serializes runtime restarts and marks provider-managed launches to prevent stale settings env from overriding the selected provider. Provider settings also write API key env consistently and clear stale managed keys before syncing.
This includes the related desktop/docs brand asset refresh and keeps the desktop locale default in Chinese, with tests updated to match the current provider semantics.
Constraint: Session-scoped model selection must win over cc-haha/settings.json and inherited ANTHROPIC_* values.
Rejected: Store the selected model as a global provider activeModel | chat runtime selection is per session.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not remove CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST without validating Desktop provider switching against stale settings env.
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/conversation-service.test.ts src/server/__tests__/conversations.test.ts src/server/__tests__/providers.test.ts src/server/__tests__/providers-real.test.ts
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test src/stores/settingsStore.test.ts
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: git diff --check
Not-tested: Full desktop production package/signing.
The previous icon fix solved the square-background issue on older macOS
versions, but it overcorrected by removing the card entirely and turning the
app mark into a bare transparent glyph. This keeps the icon light and app-like
again by using a shallow light card as the icon body while still removing the
extra outer background that made uncropped icons look wrong.
Constraint: Older macOS versions may expose the bundled icon without applying the newer rounded mask treatment
Constraint: The desktop bundle must keep app-icon.svg and generated PNG/ICNS/ICO assets aligned
Rejected: Keep the transparent-only glyph | no longer reads like the intended app icon in Finder and DMG views
Rejected: Restore the original AI-generated image wholesale | reintroduces the outer background that caused the square-icon issue
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Treat desktop/src-tauri/app-icon.svg as the canonical source and regenerate the bundled icon assets in the same change
Tested: desktop bun run lint; desktop bun run test; extracted regenerated icon.icns for visual verification
Not-tested: Full DMG rebuild and manual Finder/Dock verification on older macOS
Older macOS versions can surface the bundled app icon without applying the
modern rounded-mask treatment, which exposed the legacy AI-generated white
background around the Claude Code Haha mark. This replaces the icon source with
a transparent-background vector mark and regenerates the bundled macOS and
cross-platform icon assets from that canonical source so packaging stays
consistent.
Constraint: Older macOS releases may display bundled icons without automatic corner masking
Constraint: The Tauri bundle references pre-rendered icon assets, so the source and generated files must stay aligned
Rejected: Patch only icon.icns | would leave PNG and ICO assets inconsistent across platforms
Rejected: Keep the AI icon and post-process the JPEG background | brittle extraction and no canonical source of truth
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If the brand icon changes again, regenerate every file under desktop/src-tauri/icons from desktop/src-tauri/app-icon.svg in the same change
Tested: desktop bun run lint; desktop bun run test; extracted regenerated icon.icns to verify alpha transparency
Not-tested: Full packaged app launch in macOS Dock after rebuilding the desktop bundle
- 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
