OpenAI-compatible streaming requests previously used the shared AI request timeout as a full-body AbortSignal. That made long SSE generations stop mid-answer after the configured timeout even when the upstream had already started streaming.
The proxy now applies the configured timeout only while opening streaming upstream requests and keeps non-streaming requests on the existing full-request timeout.
Constraint: The global AI request timeout is documented as covering provider requests and streaming first responses, not total stream duration.
Rejected: Increase the default timeout | long plan-mode answers can still exceed any fixed full-stream limit.

Bring in the selected-workspace filesystem access fix from the detached
investigation worktree so Windows projects outside the user home can use
desktop @ file search.
Constraint: Preserve local main history while landing the detached worktree fix
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/filesystem.test.ts

Not-tested: Windows packaged desktop smoke after merge
Desktop file mentions should follow the workspace the user opened, but
the filesystem browser only trusted the home and temp roots. Register
workspace roots after repository context, session creation, and session
git-info resolution so Windows projects on another drive can be searched
without turning the browse API into arbitrary disk access.
Constraint: Windows users can open repositories outside C:\\Users, such as D:\\workspace\\code\\cc-haha
Constraint: Filesystem browse must not become an unbounded local disk reader
Rejected: Add a global user-configurable filesystem whitelist | broader product and persistence surface than this bug needs
Rejected: Allow every requested browse path | would bypass the intended filesystem boundary

Manual H5 LAN hosts should survive auto LAN discovery, because the detected adapter can be a WSL or Docker virtual interface instead of the physical network reachable by a phone. The settings UI now asks for the host or IP separately and reuses the current service port for the normal LAN workflow, while still accepting full URLs for reverse proxy setups.
Constraint: H5 auto discovery may see multiple private IPv4 adapters on Windows hosts.
Rejected: Treat all private URLs as stale auto-discovery output | this overwrites intentional LAN choices.
Rejected: Let users manually type the port for the normal LAN path | the server already owns the bound port and the UI can reuse it.

Computer Use now rejects Python runtimes below 3.9 before running pip,
keeps Pillow on the Python 3.9-compatible 11.x line, and falls back from

Bring the detached worktree fix back to the local main branch so modern WebUI keeps Shiki rendering while legacy WebKit can fall back before loading Shiki.
Constraint: Local main already contains unreleased commits ahead of origin/main.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Tested: Worktree commit passed focused CodeViewer test, desktop lint, desktop build, startup bundle scan, and real WebUI Shiki smoke before merge.
Not-tested: Re-running the full desktop gate after merge.
Code blocks should keep the richer Shiki rendering in modern WebUI while avoiding the old WebKit startup crash path by loading Shiki lazily and falling back to Prism only when the runtime cannot safely parse or execute it.
Constraint: Issue #461 is triggered by older Safari/WebKit parsing modern RegExp syntax during startup.

The Telegram adapter fix was developed in a detached worktree from a shared base while local main already contained newer desktop fixes. Merge the narrow worktree commit into main so the local checkout keeps those existing commits and gains the Telegram streaming behavior.
Constraint: Local main had already advanced independently after the worktree base.
Rejected: Rebase local main onto the worktree commit | rewrites the user's local main history unnecessarily.

Not-tested: Live Telegram Bot API run with a real bot token.
Telegram Bot API text edits share the same practical message length ceiling as sends, so streaming one growing placeholder can stop exposing new assistant output once the text approaches the limit. The adapter now seals full chunks, opens a fresh editable placeholder, and routes Telegram outbound text through a table-to-bullet formatter for phone readability.
Constraint: Telegram text messages and edits must stay below the platform message limit.
Rejected: Wait until message_complete to split the answer | users still lose streaming visibility during long replies.

Desktop git-info preserved the launch branch before checking the active worktree cwd, so materialized isolated worktree sessions could keep showing the source branch instead of the branch Git had checked out in the worktree. The API now switches to the real cwd branch only once the session has actually entered its planned worktree, while direct branch launches still keep their stable launch branch.
Constraint: Direct branch launches still need stable launch metadata when the source checkout later changes.
Rejected: Always prefer git rev-parse output | would regress direct launch sessions that intentionally show the selected branch.

Desktop AskUserQuestion could show duplicate unresolved cards when restored history and a live permission request overlapped. The custom response field was also single-line, making long restored-context answers hard to read or edit.
This keeps the active unresolved AskUserQuestion card aligned with the live permission request, preserves resolved history, and switches custom responses to a multiline editor with Ctrl/Cmd+Enter submission.

ChatGPT Official runs through Codex OAuth, so context accounting should follow
the Codex model catalog and its effective context window instead of public API
limits. This keeps GPT-5.5 at the same usable window shown by Codex while
preserving GPT-5.4's larger Codex window.
Constraint: Codex OAuth model metadata applies effective_context_window_percent to raw catalog windows
Rejected: Use public API GPT-5.5 1.05M context | Codex app and OAuth runtime clamp this model to the smaller effective window
Confidence: high

CLI retry events already include retry attempts, delay, and upstream status, but
the desktop WebSocket translation dropped api_retry system messages. The desktop
chat now keeps the current retry state in session state and renders a compact

Constraint: Desktop users need visible feedback during provider retry waits after auth or network failures.
Rejected: Add retry rows to the transcript | retry heartbeats would clutter chat history instead of describing the active turn.

Restructure the repository guidance around agent behavior, project surfaces, and verification routing so future coding agents can choose fast inner-loop checks without losing the PR and release quality gates.
Constraint: AGENTS.md wording is covered by the feature quality contract tests.
Constraint: Release workflow currently builds from tags and is not a substitute for local release verification.
Rejected: Keep the old command inventory with appended guidance | it preserved duplication and left verification budgeting ambiguous.
Confidence: high

The WebSocket runtime treated every active provider id as stale unless it existed in the saved custom-provider list. ChatGPT Official is an in-memory built-in provider, so restarting the desktop could activate Claude Official and rewrite the provider index back to null before a new session launched. Keep built-in OpenAI provider ids valid in runtime validation, while preserving the stale custom-provider cleanup path.
This also keeps the General network timeout UI aligned with the authoritative timeout behavior by allowing precise typed values and updating the user-facing hint.
Constraint: ChatGPT Official is a built-in provider id and is not stored in the custom providers array.
Rejected: Persist ChatGPT Official as a synthetic saved provider | it would mix token-backed built-ins with user-managed providers and complicate secret persistence.
Confidence: high

Non-stream OpenAI-compatible proxy requests still kept the previous 300s timeout floor after the unified network settings merge. That made lower General AI timeout settings ineffective for normal proxy traffic, even though the setting is meant to be the final provider request timeout.
Constraint: Unified network settings must remain the final timeout and proxy override for provider protocol paths.
Rejected: Keep the 300s non-stream floor | it makes low timeout settings ineffective for normal proxy requests.

The worktree implementation adds one General settings surface for AI request timeout and proxy configuration. This merge keeps main's newer attribution-signing and ChatGPT Official provider paths while preserving the unified network override across CLI sessions, provider checks, and OpenAI-compatible proxy forwarding.
Constraint: Main had newer attribution and official-provider changes touching the same server integration points
Rejected: Prefer the worktree proxy body verbatim | it would drop main's signed CCH attribution wrapper

OpenAI returns token-exchange failures at the OAuth boundary, so the desktop ChatGPT login path should send the same Codex-compatible headers as the reference implementation and preserve enough sanitized response detail to diagnose upstream rejections.
Constraint: OpenAI authorization codes and token responses are sensitive and must not be logged verbatim.
Rejected: Retry the pasted authorization code during debugging | the code is single-use sensitive material and the next generated code gives cleaner evidence.
Confidence: medium

Not-tested: Full successful live OAuth exchange with a fresh user authorization code.
OpenAI rejects Codex OAuth authorize URLs when the redirect URI uses the desktop API server's dynamic port. The desktop ChatGPT Official flow now starts a temporary Codex callback listener and generates the authorize URL with that callback port, while keeping token exchange and storage in the existing desktop OAuth service.
Constraint: OpenAI Codex OAuth client accepts the Codex-compatible localhost callback shape, not arbitrary desktop API ports.
Rejected: Keep routing the callback through the desktop server port | that fails before the browser can return an authorization code.

Local main had advanced independently with OpenAI OAuth URL handling, while the detached worktree fixed stale cc-haha provider env for direct TUI launches. Merge the verified worktree commit so source and desktop-terminal TUI paths both derive provider runtime env from the active provider index.
Constraint: Local main is the canonical checkout for this repository
Rejected: git merge --ff-only 3a42ca20 | local main and the detached worktree had one commit of independent divergence

Not-tested: Live provider request from embedded terminal TUI after the local-main merge
Direct TUI launches read cc-haha managed settings without the desktop host's session-env injection, so a stale proxy URL could survive after switching to an Anthropic-compatible provider. The provider runtime env calculation now has one shared source of truth and CLI config loading recomputes managed provider env from the active provider index before applying it.
Constraint: Direct source-based TUI usage must keep working with .env when no desktop provider is configured
Rejected: Inject desktop runtime only from the embedded terminal shell | native terminals and source TUI launches would still read stale managed settings
Confidence: high

OpenAI rejects the authorize URL before callback when non-Codex query
parameters are sent. The ChatGPT OAuth flow now matches the sub2api
Codex-compatible shape by keeping originator out of the authorize URL
and using OpenAI-specific hex state and PKCE verifier values.
Constraint: The Codex OAuth client expects the standard authorize query shape used by sub2api.
Rejected: Keep originator=opencode in the OAuth URL | originator is a later ChatGPT API request header concern, not an OAuth authorize parameter.

Direct native CLI launches already inherit their user's shell environment, so recapturing a login interactive shell from the same TTY is unnecessary and can interfere with prompt input on macOS terminals.
The desktop and non-interactive subprocess paths still keep the shell-env bridge because they do not own the user's interactive terminal.
Constraint: Windows was already excluded from terminal shell env capture, which explains why v0.2.8 remained healthy there.
Rejected: Disable terminal shell env capture globally | desktop subprocesses still need the captured login-shell environment.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Do not re-enable interactive shell env capture for direct TTY launches without a native PTY input regression test.
Tested: bun test src/utils/terminalShellEnvironment.test.ts src/utils/mcpStdioEnvironment.test.ts

Desktop users need to see automatic context compaction as a transient transcript state instead of a stray stdout bubble or large card. The UI now collapses prior visible content into a compact timeline divider, shows the compacting phase, then updates the same divider with the completed summary affordance.
Constraint: CLI compaction emits both status and synthetic transcript artifacts that must be normalized before rendering
Rejected: Keep the existing small pill marker | it did not show the in-progress state and looked like chat content
Confidence: high

Desktop transcript messages already expose copy controls in the shared action row. The fork affordance was rendered as its own zero-height hover row, which left the icon below Copy and made the action feel detached from the message toolbar. Moving the fork button into the existing action bar keeps the controls aligned while preserving the original branch-session API path.
Constraint: Desktop message actions should stay visually grouped for both user and assistant messages
Rejected: Keep a separate fork-only hover row | it reproduces the two-line layout regression shown in the desktop UI
Confidence: high

The active-session composer used an absolute toolbar overlay and textarea bottom padding to reserve space. When the input grew and scrolled, the caret could render inside that reserved overlay area, making it appear to pass through the controls.
Move the non-hero toolbar back into normal layout flow and remove the oversized textarea bottom padding so the text area and controls occupy separate boxes.
Constraint: Active-session and hero composer variants share the component, so keep the change scoped to the non-hero toolbar path.
Rejected: Increase textarea bottom padding | preserves the overlapping layout that caused the caret artifact.

The detached worktree contains the completed desktop navigation status change. Local main has advanced independently, so this merge records the integration while preserving existing unrelated worktree edits.
Constraint: Local main has unrelated dirty src/ changes that must remain untouched

Multiple desktop sessions can run at the same time, so navigation surfaces need a compact shared signal instead of making users open each conversation to check progress. The sidebar and tab bar now derive running state from both persisted tab status and live chat state, while session rows keep worktree and updated-time metadata aligned on the right.
Constraint: Reuse existing tab/chat state without changing session persistence or server APIs

A desktop session can receive a successful TaskStop result without a matching task_notification bookend. The transcript already proves the background command was stopped, but the desktop store kept the local_bash task record in running state, leaving the card spinner active after the assistant turn had ended.
This change derives the stopped background-task update from successful TaskStop/KillShell tool results and upserts the transcript task card through the existing background task merge path. Failed TaskStop results are ignored so an unsuccessful stop cannot hide still-running work.
Constraint: Some persisted and live task-stop paths only surface as ordinary tool_result messages.
Rejected: Change composer/run-button state | that would couple input availability to background task bookkeeping and miss the stuck task card.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep TaskStop result handling gated on non-error results; failed stops must not mark background tasks terminal.

Not-tested: Full root verify gate; change is scoped to desktop store and covered by check:desktop.
The ChatGPT Official OAuth start flow already generated the Codex /auth/callback redirect, but the desktop server only handled the older /callback/openai path. Real HTTP and UI E2E exposed the mismatch, so the server now routes the Codex callback path while retaining the legacy alias.
Constraint: OpenAI Codex OAuth client code owns OPENAI_CODEX_REDIRECT_PATH.
Rejected: Change the generated redirect back to /callback/openai | that would diverge from the shared OpenAI Codex OAuth client path.

Local main added desktop branch-from-chat, attribution headers, sidecar packaging changes, and provider model normalization. The merge keeps those mainline changes while preserving ChatGPT Official provider metadata, OpenAI OAuth runtime env, provider-load guards, and model catalog behavior.

Bring the verified worktree implementation into local main while preserving the existing local main commits and unrelated dirty working tree changes.
Constraint: Local main already had unrelated uncommitted provider/runtime edits, so the merge only touches the desktop branch feature paths.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Tested: bun run verify before merge; merge completed without conflicts
Not-tested: Post-merge full quality gate on dirty local main
Desktop users need the same branch-from-here workflow that the CLI already exposed, so the branch creation logic now lives in a shared transcript utility and the desktop app routes completed message actions through the server API. The UI hydrates transcript ids after live completions so newly generated turns can be branched immediately without a refresh.
Constraint: Source sessions must remain unmodified while branch sessions inherit the active transcript chain and persistence metadata.
Rejected: Keep a desktop-only branch implementation | it would drift from CLI /branch semantics and duplicate transcript filtering rules
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not remove the post-completion transcript hydration without a real-model desktop E2E for just-finished messages
Tested: bun run verify; Chrome Web UI E2E with real gpt-5.5 provider on ports 45678/45679
Not-tested: Provider-specific behavior beyond the configured Sub2API-ChatGPT route
Provider-managed environments should preserve Claude attribution only when the selected model is actually Claude-prefixed. Non-Claude provider models now disable the attribution header so third-party providers do not inherit Claude-specific prompt metadata.
Constraint: Claude model detection is intentionally model-name based to match the requested provider policy.
Rejected: Remove attribution headers globally | official Claude-prefixed models should keep existing behavior.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not broaden this policy without live provider request-shape verification.
Tested: Targeted server, provider, settings, cron, and managed-env tests in prior verification pass.
Not-tested: Full verify gate after this commit.
Settings General now owns AI request timeout and proxy policy so Anthropic-native and OpenAI-compatible provider paths share one user-visible control. The desktop UI persists the network settings, the server proxy and provider checks read them directly, and CLI sessions receive the same timeout/proxy environment.
Constraint: Provider request behavior must be consistent across Anthropic, OpenAI Chat, and OpenAI Responses formats
Rejected: Keep preset API_TIMEOUT_MS precedence | it would make the General timeout control unreliable for some providers
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not add protocol-specific AI request timeout controls without preserving General as the final override
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/conversation-service.test.ts src/server/__tests__/network-settings.test.ts src/server/__tests__/providers.test.ts src/server/__tests__/proxy-network-settings.test.ts
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- --run src/stores/settingsStore.test.ts src/__tests__/generalSettings.test.tsx
Tested: bun run check:desktop
Tested: bun run check:server
Not-tested: socks5 manual proxy support; manual proxy validation currently accepts HTTP/HTTPS URLs only
DeepSeek-compatible OpenAI Chat providers require assistant reasoning_content to be replayed on later tool-call turns when thinking mode is active. The Anthropic-to-OpenAI chat transform now keeps that replay behavior behind an explicit compatibility option, and the proxy only enables it for DeepSeek/OpenCode base URLs so generic OpenAI-compatible providers keep their previous request shape.
Constraint: DeepSeek thinking mode rejects follow-up requests when prior assistant reasoning_content is omitted
Rejected: Trigger compatibility by model name | would affect unrelated OpenAI-compatible providers using DeepSeek model ids
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Do not broaden this compatibility gate without proving other OpenAI-compatible providers accept these non-standard fields
Tested: Fixed-port Web UI harness with copied DeepSeek OpenAI Chat provider reproduced the 400 and passed through local proxy after the fix
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/proxy-transform.test.ts
Tested: bun run check:server
Tested: git diff --check
Not-tested: Direct OpenCode Go subscription endpoint, unavailable locally
The desktop app exposed the bundled sidecar directly as the user shell command, which could be suspended by macOS job control when the interactive TUI read from the controlling terminal. Unix installs now write a lightweight launcher wrapper, using a nested PTY on macOS interactive terminals while preserving direct exec behavior for non-interactive commands and Windows binaries.
Constraint: Bundled desktop sidecars must remain usable from user terminals without requiring a separate CLI installation
Rejected: Copy the Bun sidecar directly on macOS | interactive TUI startup can suspend with SIGTTIN
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Do not remove the macOS PTY wrapper without testing interactive TUI startup in a real terminal
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/desktop-cli-launcher.test.ts
Tested: bun run check:server
Tested: claude-haha --version
Tested: Real TTY interactive launch no longer printed suspended tty input
Settings needed a faster way to find local skills, and the plugin overview was wasting space by forcing summary cards into a tall right rail. Keep skill discovery client-side over the already-loaded list and flatten plugin metrics into a compact header so release notes can point issue #513 at the exact user-facing fix.
Fixes#513
Constraint: Settings skills data is already loaded locally through /api/skills
Rejected: Add server-side skill search | unnecessary API surface for a small local filter
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep Settings extension browsing read-only unless an install/edit flow is explicitly added
Tested: bun run check:desktop
Related: #513
The release boundary was already prepared, but recent desktop Agent display fixes landed after it and /goal needed to be described as a new user-facing feature rather than a restored hidden workflow. Update the release body before tagging so GitHub Release content matches the shipped surface.
Constraint: release workflow reads release-notes/v0.2.8.md from the tagged commit
Rejected: Leave /goal as recovery wording | users never saw the hidden implementation as a public feature
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Tested: git diff --check -- release-notes/v0.2.8.md
Tested: bun run scripts/release.ts 0.2.8 --dry
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- run src/components/chat/MessageList.test.tsx -t agent
Tested: cd desktop && bun run build
Not-tested: Full live release gate in this turn
The structured Agent fallback formatter used indexed string access to capitalize grouped result labels, which fails under the desktop TypeScript build because the first character may be undefined. Use charAt so the formatter remains equivalent while satisfying noUncheckedIndexedAccess.
Constraint: desktop build runs tsc with strict indexed access checks
Rejected: Non-null assertion on normalized[0] | keeps the fragile indexed access pattern
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Prefer string helpers over indexed access in build-sensitive UI formatting code
Tested: cd desktop && bun run build
Not-tested: Full macOS packaging script after the frontend build failure point
Some providers return the final Agent answer as a text block containing structured JSON instead of Markdown. The desktop result fallback now parses that text-wrapped shape and formats plain and grouped result arrays into readable Markdown before display.
Constraint: Historical sessions can store Agent tool_result content as [{ type: 'text', text: '{...}' }] rather than a direct object
Rejected: Treat provider-specific JSON output as a model bug only | existing transcripts still need readable display
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Agent result display must normalize text-wrapped structured payloads before falling back to raw text
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- run src/components/chat/MessageList.test.tsx -t "formats structured agent fallback"
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- run src/components/chat/MessageList.test.tsx -t agent
Not-tested: Full desktop gate per request to avoid broad gate/test runs
Agent fallback output can arrive as structured result arrays when no terminal task report is available. The desktop card now formats that shape into a readable Markdown list instead of exposing raw transport JSON in the preview or result modal.
Constraint: Some Agent executions still only provide structured tool_result content without a terminal Markdown report
Rejected: Keep pretty-printed JSON as the fallback | still exposes implementation shape instead of user-facing results
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Structured Agent result arrays are display data; keep them readable before falling back to raw serialization
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- run src/components/chat/MessageList.test.tsx -t "formats structured agent fallback"
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- run src/components/chat/MessageList.test.tsx -t agent
Not-tested: Full desktop gate per request to avoid broad gate/test runs
