Packaged desktop builds started the sidecar on loopback only, so phones on the same WiFi could not connect to the H5 URL. The server now binds to LAN interfaces while keeping the desktop control URL on loopback, serves the bundled H5 frontend, and reports a LAN public URL when H5 access is enabled.
Constraint: Packaged Tauri resources place ../dist under Contents/Resources/_up_/dist.
Rejected: Bind the desktop control URL to 0.0.0.0 | desktop clients should keep using loopback for local control.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep packaged H5 resource lookup aligned with Tauri resource mapping when changing bundle resources.
Tested: bun run check:server
Tested: cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo test --lib
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- desktopRuntime.test.ts generalSettings.test.tsx
Tested: SKIP_INSTALL=1 ./desktop/scripts/build-macos-arm64.sh
Tested: Packaged claude-sidecar smoke served H5 HTML while listening on *:39876
Not-tested: Physical phone browser test on the local WiFi network
Provider setup now carries the metadata needed for sponsored and local Anthropic-compatible providers, while keeping provider URLs and API keys editable in the desktop form. The desktop UI also exposes API-key links, optional sponsor copy, full key visibility, and local no-key presets that can be activated into runtime settings.
Constraint: Local LM Studio and Ollama integrations require Anthropic-compatible root URLs rather than OpenAI /v1 URLs
Rejected: Keep local providers at the top of the preset list | user requested them immediately before Custom
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not change local provider base URLs to /v1 without rechecking Anthropic compatibility docs
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/provider-presets.test.ts src/server/__tests__/providers.test.ts
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test src/__tests__/generalSettings.test.tsx --run
Tested: git diff --cached --check
Tested: Web UI provider creation plus real sessions for LM Studio, Ollama, JiekouAI, and Shengsuanyun
Not-tested: Production packaged Tauri build
The desktop app now keeps the composer stable while turns are active,
reduces low-signal tool noise in the transcript, restores project context
under the composer after session creation, and relies on the CLI's own
permission requests instead of injecting broader desktop-side Bash asks.
This also brings in the supporting desktop app source tree and the server
routes/session metadata needed for git info, filesystem browsing, session
resume, slash commands, and SDK-backed permission bridging so the UI can
operate as a coherent feature instead of a partial patch.
Constraint: Desktop transcript needs to stay usable during long multi-tool sessions without hiding file-change diffs
Constraint: Permission prompts must mirror CLI behavior closely enough that read-only commands do not get desktop-only prompts
Rejected: Keep rendering Read/Bash bodies inline | too noisy and unlike the intended transcript model
Rejected: Commit only the touched desktop files | would leave the newly introduced desktop app incomplete in git history
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: broad
Reversibility: messy
Directive: Treat non-writing tools as summary-first transcript events; do not re-expand them by default without validating the UX against long sessions
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- --run
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/conversations.test.ts
Not-tested: Manual visual regression against the exact screenshots in a live desktop session
Not-tested: Full root TypeScript check (repository still has unrelated extracted-native parse failures)
