Desktop failures were previously hard to debug from issue reports because server-side and CLI startup details were only partially visible in the UI. This adds a dedicated cc-haha diagnostics store with sanitized structured events, runtime error summaries, a Settings diagnostics view, and an exportable bundle that users can attach to reports.
Constraint: Diagnostic exports must not include chat content, file contents, full environment variables, API keys, bearer tokens, cookies, or OAuth tokens.
Rejected: Export raw server logs | easier to debug but too likely to leak secrets and private workspace data.
Rejected: Keep diagnostics only in transient UI errors | still leaves maintainers unable to diagnose later GitHub issues.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not add raw transcript, prompt, attachment, or environment dumps to diagnostics without a separate privacy review.
Tested: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=test-key bun test src/server/__tests__/diagnostics-service.test.ts
Tested: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=test-key bun test src/server/__tests__/conversation-service.test.ts
Tested: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=test-key bun test src/server/__tests__/conversations.test.ts
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test src/__tests__/diagnosticsSettings.test.tsx --run
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: cd desktop && bun run build
Tested: agent-browser E2E on local server/dev UI for CLI startup failure, provider test failure, diagnostics tab, copy summary, export bundle, and tar/secret scan
Not-tested: Destructive clear-logs button in browser E2E; local deletion was intentionally not clicked.
Add complete server-side implementation for the Claude Code Desktop App UI:
- REST API: sessions, conversations, settings, models, scheduled tasks,
search, agents, and status endpoints (9 modules, 30+ endpoints)
- WebSocket: real-time chat streaming with state transitions, ping/pong,
permission request forwarding, and stop generation support
- Services: sessionService (JSONL read/write, CLI-compatible),
settingsService (atomic writes), cronService, searchService (ripgrep),
agentService (YAML management)
- Middleware: CORS (localhost-only), auth, unified error handling
- Tests: 180 tests (unit + E2E + business flow), all passing
- Docs: PRD, UI design spec, server architecture design
Non-invasive: all new code under src/server/, no changes to existing CLI code.
CLI/UI data interop: reads/writes the same JSONL/JSON files as the CLI.
