The desktop shell now owns sidebar collapse state, the collapsed rail keeps a
visible recovery affordance, and keyboard search expands the sidebar before
focusing. The UI work also smooths the width transition so the main chat area
can take over without the previous abrupt cutover.
Constraint: The desktop app must keep a recovery path visible in narrow layouts on macOS and Windows
Constraint: Existing sidebar behavior needed regression coverage before further UI work
Rejected: Fully hide the sidebar at 0 width | recovery affordance became too fragile for this iteration
Rejected: Keep boxed restore controls in the collapsed rail | visually heavy and easy to misplace
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep the collapsed rail width and the inner sidebar panel width in sync or expand controls will be clipped again
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test Sidebar.test.tsx
Not-tested: Full desktop manual pass across every app screen after the final icon/layout tweaks
The macOS desktop build could lose its draggable gutter on the right side of
the tab bar once multiple session tabs consumed the native overlay title area.
This adds a Tauri window-drag fallback for clicks on the tab strip's empty
space while preserving tab and control interactions, and locks that behavior
with focused regression tests.
Constraint: Must preserve tab clicks, close buttons, and overflow controls while restoring drag behavior
Rejected: Rework the title bar layout around a dedicated spacer | larger UI diff for a narrow hit-testing bug
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep drag fallback limited to true empty gutter hits; do not trigger it from interactive tab descendants
Tested: bun run test src/components/layout/TabBar.test.tsx; bun run lint; bun run build; manual macOS app verification
Not-tested: Windows runtime drag behavior was not manually exercised after this change

This merges the detached-worktree desktop fixes back into main, preserving the
existing Computer Use modal changes on main while bringing over the project
skill discovery fallback, skills settings cwd-awareness, sidebar tab cleanup,
and the empty-session hero composer styling.
Constraint: Main already carried newer desktop session UI changes that had to be preserved during merge resolution
Rejected: Abort the merge and cherry-pick individual files | unnecessary once the only conflict was isolated to ActiveSession.tsx
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: When merging detached-worktree desktop branches into main, keep ActiveSession conflict resolution additive so session overlays and composer variants survive together
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/sessions.test.ts; cd desktop && bun run test -- --run src/__tests__/skillsSettings.test.tsx src/components/layout/Sidebar.test.tsx src/__tests__/pages.test.tsx src/pages/ActiveSession.test.tsx; cd desktop && bun run lint
Not-tested: Manual post-merge GUI verification in the local main worktree app bundle
The desktop app previously lost project-level skills in two places: the
settings browser only queried user skills, and the slash-command picker for a
fresh session depended on CLI init state that does not exist before the first
turn. This change makes the skills APIs cwd-aware, falls back to project skill
loading before CLI init, syncs sidebar session deletion with open tabs, and
aligns the empty-session composer styling so the pre-message session UI stays
consistent.
Constraint: Fresh desktop sessions need slash-command discovery before the CLI websocket emits system/init
Constraint: Only repository code should be committed; build artifacts, installs, and /tmp smoke fixtures stay out of git
Rejected: Rebuild slash-command listings from full getCommands() in the sessions API | introduced auth-gated command dependencies unrelated to local skill discovery
Rejected: Unify EmptySession and ChatInput into one full component now | higher regression risk for normal chat interactions than a visual-only hero variant
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep pre-message skill discovery keyed to session workDir so project-level .claude/skills remain visible before the first turn
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/sessions.test.ts; cd desktop && bun run test -- --run src/__tests__/skillsSettings.test.tsx src/components/layout/Sidebar.test.tsx src/__tests__/pages.test.tsx src/pages/ActiveSession.test.tsx; cd desktop && bun run lint
Not-tested: Manual desktop smoke test against the rebuilt .app bundle in the local GUI
Desktop sessions were missing a visible request_access approval path and could
mis-detect their own app window as an unapproved frontmost target, which caused
Computer Use clicks to fail even after opening the intended app. On macOS, text
entry was also split across inconsistent clipboard and keystroke paths, making
Electron inputs unreliable for Chinese and short strings.
This change adds a desktop approval bridge over the existing session websocket,
renders a dedicated desktop approval modal, threads the real desktop bundle id
into the Computer Use executor, and switches macOS clipboard typing onto the
native pasteboard plus system paste shortcut path. It also makes tool error
results expandable in the desktop chat UI so frontmost-gate failures are fully
visible during debugging.
Constraint: Desktop sessions run the CLI over the SDK websocket path, so Ink tool JSX dialogs are not visible there
Constraint: macOS IME and Electron text inputs are unreliable with pyautogui.write and generic hotkey synthesis
Rejected: Reuse CLI setToolJSX dialogs in desktop mode | no transport for mid-call Ink UI over the SDK bridge
Rejected: Keep shell pbcopy/pbpaste for clipboard typing | inconsistent with NSPasteboard path and less reliable for Chinese text
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep desktop Computer Use approvals and macOS text-entry behavior on a single bridge/path; avoid reintroducing separate CLI-only and desktop-only codepaths for the same action
Tested: python3 -m unittest runtime/test_helpers.py

This introduces a persisted light/dark appearance setting, maps the desktop shell onto semantic theme tokens, and reworks the highest-traffic chat/settings surfaces so the new dark mode is usable without regressing the original light theme.
The same pass tightens markdown rendering for chat replies by improving inline code, table overflow handling, and safe external-link behavior so dark-mode content stays legible in real conversations.
Constraint: Preserve the existing light theme while adding a user-selectable dark theme in Settings > General
Constraint: Avoid introducing new dependencies for styling or markdown handling
Rejected: Replacing the light palette with a single dual-purpose palette | would risk broad visual regressions across the existing desktop UI
Rejected: Implementing dark mode only for shell chrome | leaves chat markdown, diffs, and permission flows visually broken
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: New desktop UI should use semantic theme variables instead of hard-coded color literals so both themes stay aligned
Tested: bun run lint; bun run test; bun run build; browser review of theme switching, provider/permission states, and chat surfaces
Not-tested: Prototype-style pages with remaining hard-coded colors (scheduled/session control mock surfaces) were not fully normalized in this change
The desktop app already had Tauri updater plumbing, but the
release pipeline was not emitting signed updater artifacts and
the UI exposed only a thin auto-check path. This change restores
a working updater release path, rotates to a new updater public
key, and adds a shared update flow with manual check/install
controls for testing.
Constraint: Original updater private key is unavailable, so a new public key had to be embedded and old installs cannot trust new signatures
Constraint: Must not add new dependencies or require main-branch rollout before validation
Rejected: Keep the old pubkey and skip signing | would leave release builds unable to publish valid updater artifacts
Rejected: Add a manual download fallback flow | user explicitly deferred that work
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Preserve the new updater private key and password outside the repo; losing them again will break future in-app updates for installed builds
Tested: desktop unit test for updater store; desktop TypeScript no-emit; desktop production build
Not-tested: end-to-end updater install against a real GitHub Release on this branch
The chat UI translated CLI startup failures to a generic localized string and
hid the server-provided detail entirely. That made remote Windows debugging
guesswork even when the backend had already captured the real stderr payload.
This change keeps the localized summary but renders the raw startup detail
underneath when it differs, and adds a regression test covering the Git Bash
missing case.
Constraint: Windows Server repro is happening remotely, so the immediate value is better diagnostics rather than guessing a root cause locally
Rejected: Leave the generic translation only | obscures actionable stderr and slows every remote repro cycle
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: For translated startup errors, preserve backend detail somewhere visible unless it duplicates the summary
Tested: cd desktop && bunx vitest run src/components/chat/MessageList.test.tsx
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Not-tested: Full desktop interaction flow on Windows Server 2022

The Windows desktop shell was rendering custom minimize, maximize, and close
buttons without the Tauri capabilities those commands require. The app was also
starting with decorated windows and then trying to disable decorations at
runtime, which is a weaker setup than the platform-specific config Tauri
expects for custom chrome.
This change grants the missing window permissions, moves Windows and macOS
window chrome settings into platform-specific Tauri config files, removes the
runtime decoration toggle, and adds a regression test that proves the custom
controls invoke the Tauri window API.
Constraint: Windows build validation will happen on the remote branch instead of this macOS workspace
Rejected: Keep runtime set_decorations(false) on Windows | leaves window chrome behavior dependent on post-start native mutation
Rejected: Ship only the capability fix | lower-risk hotfix, but it preserves the fragile cross-platform window config
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep custom titlebar behavior in config and capabilities; avoid moving Windows decoration changes back into runtime setup
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test
Not-tested: Native Windows click/drag behavior on an actual packaged build from this local machine

Desktop auth was reporting stale local token files as logged in, could inherit a parent OAuth token after logout, and kept polling even when browser launch failed. This change validates stored tokens through the refresh path, clears inherited OAuth env before spawning the CLI, fetches subscription metadata on initial login, and moves polling start until after the browser opens. Regression tests cover the server and desktop store paths.
Constraint: Desktop CLI must bypass macOS Keychain by injecting env OAuth when available
Rejected: Keep status endpoint file-based only | reports expired sessions as logged in
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Official desktop auth state must be derived from ensureFreshTokens rather than oauth.json presence alone
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/conversation-service.test.ts src/server/__tests__/haha-oauth-service.test.ts src/server/__tests__/haha-oauth-api.test.ts

This bundles the pending desktop/server team-session fixes with the local adapter recovery changes already in the worktree. The team path now keeps teammate membership stable under concurrent spawns, surfaces real teammate identities in the desktop UI, and allows direct interaction with member transcripts. The adapter changes recover automatically when stale thinking signatures invalidate an existing session.
Constraint: Team config writes can happen concurrently while multiple reviewers spawn in parallel
Constraint: Desktop member views must follow mailbox/transcript semantics rather than hijacking teammate runtime sessions
Rejected: Keep relying on config.json alone for member discovery | in-process teammates can be lost after concurrent writes
Rejected: Open teammate sessionIds as normal desktop sessions | would attach a second CLI instead of the running teammate
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Preserve locked team-file mutation for any future teammate registration path and keep teammate labels sourced from member names before agent types

This folds together the desktop-side fixes needed before broader rollout.
Session resume no longer deadlocks waiting on init, Mermaid and inline image
output render inside chat, task and sub-agent state stay visible during
execution, local build/release paths are safer, and Feishu/Telegram now expose
lightweight mobile commands (/help, /status, /clear) without adding a new
adapter-specific protocol.
Constraint: Desktop releases must publish updater artifacts from non-draft GitHub releases
Constraint: IM commands need short, phone-friendly responses and low operational complexity
Rejected: Add a dedicated IM command API surface | re-used existing slash commands and session/task REST endpoints to keep adapters thin
Rejected: Wait for task_update push events in WebUI | added low-risk polling because the current frontend ignores that event path
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: broad

The 38px absolute drag overlay was blocking tab clicks, requiring
padding that created a visible gap. Sidebar already handles its own

The desktop chat view flattened Agent tool activity, which made sub-agent work
hard to follow and separated key evidence from the main conversation. This
change threads parent tool linkage through the server bridge and desktop store,
renders dispatched sub-agents as grouped cards with nested tool activity, and
moves long final outputs into a markdown preview dialog so the main transcript
stays readable on narrow layouts.
Constraint: Existing sessions and live websocket events both needed to preserve parent-child relationships
Rejected: Add brand-new subagent websocket event types | unnecessary protocol expansion when parent linkage already existed upstream
Rejected: Inline full sub-agent markdown in the card body | too cramped for narrow desktop chat layouts
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep Agent card summaries compact; route long-form sub-agent output through the preview dialog unless the main chat layout is widened substantially

The session view exposed copy affordances in a way that implied the
whole conversation would be copied, while user prompts had no copy
path at all. This changes copy to a per-message footer action so the
scope is explicit for both prompts and assistant replies, and reuses
the shared clipboard helper instead of maintaining a second copy path.
Constraint: The worktree contains unrelated in-progress changes that must stay uncommitted
Rejected: Keep a floating action above each message | it interrupted reading order and still looked session-scoped
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep copy affordances attached to individual message blocks so the copied scope stays obvious
Tested: bun run test src/components/chat/MessageList.test.tsx; bun run lint
Not-tested: Manual desktop visual QA across dense multi-message sessions
