Fail PR and release quality runs when the impact policy blocks the diff, and accept root-runtime regression coverage across service and utility seams.

Route required checks by changed surface, add offline provider and chat contracts, and keep fork PRs independent of live credentials. Layer agent guidance by subtree and enforce a compact instruction budget.

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.
The commit also carries the latest local main desktop command updates, including agent slash entries and hidden-by-default markdown thinking details, so the packaged Electron build matches the current main UX surface.
Constraint: React renderer, local Bun server, REST/WebSocket, and sidecar boundaries must remain reusable during the migration
Constraint: macOS dev packages are ad-hoc signed and cannot prove Developer ID notarization or Gatekeeper release launch
Rejected: Browser-only smoke validation | it cannot exercise native dialogs, keychain prompts, notification behavior, or packaged app startup
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: broad
Directive: Do not remove Tauri host support until signed Electron release artifacts pass native OS smoke on macOS, Windows, and Linux

The repository now has a measurable PR quality path instead of a loose set of
manual checks. Coverage, quarantine governance, provider smoke, desktop smoke,
and workflow wiring all produce durable reports that contributors and maintainers
can inspect without reconstructing terminal output.
This also fixes the desktop smoke current-runtime path so browser-driven smoke
runs use the desktop default active provider instead of forcing the official
current model, and records that runtime decision as an artifact.
Constraint: Default PR gates must remain non-live and contributor-safe while live model checks stay explicit.
Constraint: Release packaging is still GitHub Actions based, so release preflight must run before the build matrix.
Rejected: Make live provider or desktop smoke mandatory on every PR | secrets, quotas, and model availability are maintainer-controlled.
Rejected: Let PRs lower coverage baselines in the same change | base-branch ratchet comparison must remain authoritative.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not relax coverage or quarantine policy without a maintainer approval label and a fresh quality report.

Not-tested: Full live release mode with multiple providers in hosted CI; provider credentials and quota remain maintainer-controlled.
Pull requests need a deterministic way to show changed areas, required checks, missing-test signals, and CLI-core risk before review. This adds a path-based policy gate, local impact reporting, PR triage labels/comments, and reusable check scripts so reviewers can evaluate blast radius without trusting contributor claims.
Constraint: CLI core should remain effectively frozen unless a maintainer explicitly overrides it.
Constraint: Default PR checks must be safe for external forks and avoid live model/provider calls.
Rejected: Run live provider tests on every PR | secrets, cost, network, and vendor instability would make the gate noisy and unsafe.
Rejected: Use Dosu as the merge gate | AI review is useful for risk explanation, but deterministic Actions must own blocking checks.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep real model/provider smoke tests in maintainer-controlled workflows; do not make them required for untrusted PRs.
