Desktop @ file search was recursively walking the filesystem with a local skip list, which let Python and Node generated directories leak into results and diverged from CLI behavior. Route candidate discovery through the same git-first model: tracked files, untracked files with exclude-standard, and ripgrep fallback for non-git folders, then derive selectable directories from those candidates.
Constraint: Desktop picker must select both files and directories without surfacing ignored project artifacts.
Constraint: No new dependencies; reuse the existing git, ripgrep, settings, and ignore utilities.
Rejected: Maintain a hardcoded directory denylist | it would drift from CLI and miss project-specific ignore rules.
Rejected: Full recursive readdir scanning | it ignores git index semantics and makes large dependency trees visible.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep desktop @ file candidate discovery aligned with src/hooks/fileSuggestions.ts before changing ranking or ignore behavior.

The pure white appearance option needed to avoid warm-theme leakage while preserving the existing warm classic brand theme. This adds the white theme mode, keeps local browser startup from reusing stale H5 server URLs in dev, and moves visible legacy warm surfaces onto theme tokens.
Constraint: H5 server auth policy, CORS policy, SDK routes, adapter routes, and IM access paths must not change for a visual theme fix
Rejected: Rename the original light theme to pure white | the original theme is a warm classic palette, not a neutral white workspace
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep structural white-theme borders neutral; reserve the warm brand color for selected states, primary actions, and small accents

H5 access is a user-facing desktop sharing entrypoint, so it should not be buried inside the broad General settings surface. Move it into its own Settings tab and make the empty QR state point users at the token generation action before a scan link exists.
Constraint: Preserve the existing H5 store API and token lifecycle while changing only the desktop settings surface.
Rejected: Keep H5 access inside General with a larger visual block | still hides a strong product surface in a catch-all page.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep H5 access as a first-class settings entry unless the navigation model is redesigned holistically.

The age-based quick cleanup buttons overlapped poorly with the sidebar time groups and created ambiguity around what would be deleted. Keeping batch mode focused on all/selected sessions makes the destructive path easier to understand while preserving the existing confirmation and server deletion behavior.
Constraint: Desktop batch deletion should stay routed through the existing selected-session confirmation flow.
Rejected: Rename the age-based cleanup buttons | still leaves a low-value destructive shortcut in the primary batch panel.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Add future destructive cleanup shortcuts only when their target set is unambiguous in the current filtered session list.

Not-tested: Manual desktop click-through after removing the buttons.
H5 LAN access now uses an explicit desktop confirmation, then shows a QR launch URL that carries both the serverUrl and one-time-visible H5 token. Browser startup consumes that token from the QR URL, verifies it before storing, and requires auth for non-loopback H5 endpoints while preserving local desktop bootstrap behavior.
Constraint: LAN H5 exposes desktop capabilities and must be opt-in with a visible warning.
Constraint: QR launch has to preserve routed public URLs, so the link carries serverUrl as well as h5Token.
Rejected: Store the raw token in Zustand | it would make accidental UI diagnostics or snapshots more likely to leak it
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not remove the serverUrl query parameter from QR links without testing non-root publicBaseUrl deployments

The sidebar had only single-session deletion, which made stale or noisy
session lists expensive to maintain. This adds a batch-management lane in
the desktop UI and a server endpoint that deletes multiple sessions while
preserving per-session failure reporting and cleanup behavior.
Constraint: Session deletion must preserve existing transcript and adapter cleanup semantics
Constraint: Desktop UI should reuse the shared confirmation dialog instead of introducing a second modal surface
Rejected: Delete all selected sessions through repeated client DELETE calls | weaker partial-failure handling and duplicated cleanup orchestration
Rejected: Use a generic checkmark entry icon | it did not communicate batch deletion clearly enough
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep batch deletion routed through the server batch endpoint so rollback and adapter cleanup stay centralized

Not-tested: Live provider-backed session generation; this change covers session list management after sessions already exist
The H5 token gate still caused chat startup and runtime failures after the desktop startup hotfix, so the default server path now stays open for browser and LAN access. Explicit auth remains available through SERVER_AUTH_REQUIRED=1 or --auth-required for deployments that intentionally need it.
Constraint: Current H5 token state is blocking active users from normal chat usage
Rejected: Keep automatic remote-host auth with broader client-side token handling | still leaves existing upgraded clients vulnerable to stale or missing token state
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate

Expose the CLI's `language` setting in the desktop app's General tab.
Users can now pick from 21 pre-defined languages via a dropdown (value
maps directly to CLI language names such as "chinese", "japanese").
Selecting a language writes it to ~/.claude/settings.json so the CLI
injects the language instruction into every session's system prompt.

Integrate the Token usage settings page on top of the newer local main branch, preserving the existing H5 access router surface while adding the activity stats API route.
Constraint: Local main already contained H5 access router changes after the Token usage worktree base.
Rejected: Prefer either router branch during conflict resolution | both API surfaces are independent and must remain registered.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep h5-access and activity-stats routes registered together in src/server/router.ts.
Tested: Conflict marker scan for src/server/router.ts
Not-tested: Post-merge desktop/server checks pending
Expose local Claude Code CLI transcript usage in Settings so users can inspect recent token consumption and daily activity without leaving the desktop app.
The page uses server-side transcript aggregation for session, message, tool, model-token, and subagent token data. Daily token buckets use assistant message timestamps, and daily session counts use active parent sessions for the same date bucket so resumed sessions and cross-midnight work do not produce token-only days. Cache accounting is bumped to v5 to force recomputation under the corrected daily semantics.
Constraint: Usage data must come from local Claude Code CLI transcripts rather than mock/demo data.
Constraint: Desktop navigation keeps Token usage directly above Diagnostics.
Rejected: Bucket all token usage by session start date | hides resumed-session and cross-midnight consumption from the actual day it was spent.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep daily token and daily session counts on the same date-bucketing semantics.

Limit the legacy fallback to missing H5 endpoints, preserve last known H5 settings on real load failures, and move the generated token lifetime into the General settings component so the raw token clears after copy or timeout instead of living in global state.
Constraint: Task 3 remains limited to desktop settings store, UI, and tests
Rejected: Treat every H5 load failure as disabled defaults | hides real outages and overwrites useful last-known state
Rejected: Keep raw tokens in Zustand until manually dismissed | re-exposes secrets after reopening Settings
Confidence: high

Add the desktop-side H5 settings client, store state, and General tab controls so users can opt in, regenerate tokens, manage origins, and copy the browser URL without touching unrelated desktop flows.
Constraint: Task 3 is limited to desktop Settings UI and store wiring only

Bring the detached worktree fix into the local main line while preserving the newer main behavior that passes session context into interactive chat message blocks.
Constraint: Local main already contains six unpublished commits on top of origin/main
Constraint: Merge conflict only affected MessageList message rendering around sessionId propagation
Rejected: Overwrite main's MessageBlock call shape | would regress AskUserQuestion and permission interactions that need sessionId
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate

Chat sessions need predictable navigation when users switch tabs or read history during streaming. This preserves each session's scroll position, defaults fresh sessions to the latest message, and adds a compact jump-to-latest affordance when auto-follow is paused.
The PR gate also exposed that provider-scoped scheduled tasks must force the sdk-cli entrypoint when launched through the sidecar, so the same change records that runtime contract and its regression assertion.
Constraint: Desktop chat should not force-scroll while the user is reading older messages
Constraint: Scheduled task provider env must not inherit stale parent model runtime values
Rejected: Persist scroll positions in localStorage | session scroll is transient UI state and should not survive app restarts
Confidence: high

Computer Use setup could fail on machines where PATH discovery misses a valid Python installation, especially Windows or conda-style environments. Store an optional interpreter path, prefer it during environment checks and venv creation, and expose a desktop settings control for selecting or clearing it.
Constraint: Python discovery is environment-specific and cannot always be inferred from PATH.
Rejected: Continue falling back to PATH after an invalid custom path | hides a user-selected broken interpreter and makes diagnosis ambiguous.

Desktop repository launches now defer isolated worktree creation until the
first user turn so the CLI owns worktree setup, cwd initialization, and
session metadata. The chat UI surfaces the pre-startup Git phase so users see
when a session is creating a worktree or switching a branch before model
output begins.
Constraint: Desktop must preserve the selected source checkout until a user actually sends a message
Constraint: CLI setup is the canonical owner for worktree creation and cwd initialization
Rejected: Create the worktree eagerly in the desktop session picker | it diverges from CLI session startup and creates worktrees before a conversation exists

Non-Git folders are valid launch targets for desktop sessions, so the composer should not render them as an inline repository warning. The branch and worktree controls remain hidden outside Git repositories while server-side repository validation still protects actual branch-launch requests.
Constraint: Non-Git directories must remain usable as ordinary session workdirs.
Rejected: Keep the inline not-Git warning | it reads like an error even though the user can continue normally.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep dirty-worktree and checked-out-branch warnings visible because those still require a launch-mode decision.

The worktree control is a mode choice, so it should behave like the branch selector instead of a hidden toggle. This adds a compact dropdown with current and isolated worktree options while preserving the existing launch layout and isolation guard.
Constraint: Keep the composer context rail layout unchanged.
Rejected: Keep the single-click toggle | the interaction hid the available modes and made the state harder to reason about.

The repository launch controls should extend the existing empty-session composer, not replace the session layout. This restores the previous mascot, title, composer sizing, textarea, and run button while keeping the project, branch, and worktree controls attached directly beneath the input.
Constraint: User requested the original session layout stay intact except for adding repository controls under the chat input
Rejected: Keep the Codex-style centered launcher rewrite | it changed too much of the existing session surface

The empty-session launch surface needed to behave like a real coding-agent entry point: project, branch, and worktree choices are now visible together, and branch choices that cannot safely run in-place force an isolated worktree before session creation.
Constraint: Desktop launch flows must preserve repository safety when a target branch is dirty or checked out elsewhere
Rejected: Keep branch and worktree controls as detached chips | the selection state was easy to miss and visually inconsistent with the launcher

Online upgrades can strand users on stale desktop UI state or malformed local persistence. This adds a deny-by-default Doctor path that resets only regenerable desktop UI state, reports protected local files with redacted metadata, and keeps protected repair as a dry-run no-op until a reviewed backup-first flow exists.
Constraint: Chat transcripts, model/provider config, Skills, MCP, IM bindings, adapter sessions, OAuth tokens, plugins, and team/session records are user-owned protected state.
Rejected: Automatically rewrite malformed protected JSON | unsafe without schema-specific migrations and backups.
Rejected: Continue relying only on startup migrations | users need an explicit recovery action after a white screen.

Desktop sessions now resolve repository launch intent before creation, so users can pick a branch, choose whether to isolate it in a worktree, and get stable error messages instead of silent branch-switch failures. The server owns the Git safety checks and session metadata so the UI and real agent runtime agree on the actual working directory.
Constraint: Direct branch switching must not overwrite or hide uncommitted user changes
Constraint: Desktop worktree branches must stay out of normal branch selection and recent-project labels
Rejected: Let the UI call git directly | server-side checks keep session metadata and runtime launch paths consistent
Rejected: Auto-switch dirty checkouts | users need an explicit isolated-worktree choice to protect local edits

Computer Use is useful when explicitly needed, but exposing its MCP tools by default creates unnecessary desktop-control surface for users who want coding-only sessions. This adds a shared disable path for CLI flags, environment, and desktop settings while keeping preauthorized app state in one config file.
The same change also preserves Windows and WSL shell startup behavior by applying the MSYS argument-conversion guard only on WSL-bound launches.
Constraint: Computer Use MCP must not be exposed to the Coding Agent when disabled
Constraint: Desktop settings and CLI sessions need to read the same persisted Computer Use config
Rejected: Environment-only disable switch | desktop users need a persistent Settings control
Rejected: Remove Computer Use setup entirely | enabled sessions still need the existing built-in MCP path

Desktop users already receive native notifications for permission prompts, but long-running turns can finish with only a final Markdown reply while the app is out of focus. The completion path now treats a non-empty assistant reply as a notifiable terminal event and reuses the existing desktop notification settings, dedupe, and cooldown behavior.
Constraint: Notification permission must still be controlled by the existing desktopNotificationsEnabled setting and native OS authorization.
Rejected: Send from status idle events | idle is also used by prewarm, clear, stop, and other non-reply transitions.
Rejected: Notify on every message_complete | empty completions and post-stop tail completions would create noisy false positives.

Tested: bun run test -- src/stores/chatStore.test.ts

Not-tested: Manual macOS notification center click-through behavior
Desktop notifications were enabled by default and depended on the Tauri notification plugin for both permission state and delivery. On macOS the plugin reports desktop permission as granted and can hide foreground delivery failures, so authorization prompts could appear in the app without a real system notification.
This moves macOS permission and delivery through a native UserNotifications bridge, keeps notifications opt-in by default, and sends a test notification after successful authorization.
Constraint: Tauri notification plugin desktop permission state is always granted.
Constraint: macOS foreground delivery needs explicit native presentation handling.
Rejected: Keep using the plugin with retries | it still cannot report real macOS permission or delivery failures.
Confidence: high

Bring the detached worktree terminal improvements into the local main line so desktop sessions can open a bottom terminal in the current project directory and still promote it to a full tab when needed.
Constraint: Local main already contains additional desktop fixes after the worktree base
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Tested: bun run check:desktop
Tested: git diff --check
Not-tested: bun run quality:pr is blocked by existing branch policy requiring allow-cli-core-change approval
Desktop terminal access should behave like an IDE: active project sessions open a bottom panel in the session working directory while keeping a full terminal tab available for dedicated use. The panel has constrained resizing and cleanup so session tab state remains isolated, and terminal guidance points users to the bundled claude-haha command for extension setup.
Constraint: Desktop bundles the user-facing CLI as claude-haha while claude-sidecar remains internal
Rejected: Always opening a standalone terminal tab | loses the current project context and diverges from common IDE behavior
Rejected: Exposing claude-sidecar in terminal guidance | it is an internal launcher, not the supportable user command
Confidence: high

The desktop composer now treats draft and not-yet-running sessions as pending
until a real CLI context snapshot exists. Context inspection has a lightweight
context-only path so the composer and /context panel do not wait on unrelated
usage or MCP status work, and desktop boot no longer blocks the first shell
render on tab restoration.
Constraint: Empty composer state has no live CLI context to inspect until a session starts
Rejected: Display 0% before live context exists | it implied one user message consumed the fixed prompt/tool baseline

Bring the runtime diagnostics worktree back onto local main while preserving the existing local main commits for provider context windows and IM localization.
Constraint: Preserve both independent local main commits and the diagnostics worktree commit.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep diagnostics capture non-blocking and sanitized when modifying this area again.
Tested: merged cleanly on local main after prior check:server, check:desktop, and agent-browser diagnostics export verification
Diagnostics exports previously preserved only compact summaries, which made user-uploaded issue bundles hard to debug. This records richer sanitized details from server, CLI, SDK, browser, React, and desktop API failure paths while keeping request bodies and secrets out of client-side reports.
Constraint: Diagnostic bundles must be useful for GitHub issues without including chat contents, file contents, full environments, or API keys.
Rejected: Only expand the Settings UI summary | the exported bundle would still miss hidden runtime failures.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep diagnostics write paths best-effort and non-blocking; do not add request-body capture without a redaction review.

Provider model context windows now feed the composer-level context indicator, so users can see current usage without opening slash panels. The indicator refreshes when the session runtime model changes, keeps a stable loading placeholder, and marks estimate fallback data during reconnect or compaction windows.
Constraint: The desktop UI must use the real session inspection API and session-scoped runtime selection instead of mocked or static context values.
Rejected: Keep context details only in /context or /status | the user explicitly wanted an always-visible composer indicator.
Rejected: Reuse stale context after model switches | different provider windows make identical percentages misleading.

DingTalk can receive interactive card callbacks, but the card UI still depends on a published template, so the adapter now supports a template-backed card path with text commands as the reliable fallback. Telegram and WeChat use the same allow-once, allow-always, and deny semantics so manual authorization behaves the same across platforms.
Constraint: DingTalk button rendering requires an operator-provided interactive card template id

WeChat and DingTalk were using different pairing, attachment, and response
state paths, which made the new IM channels behave differently from Feishu

existing attachment bridge, and map platform response capabilities to their
real APIs: WeChat block streaming plus typing, DingTalk AI Card streaming.
Constraint: WeChat iLink exposes typing and block streaming, but no editable message/card streaming API
Constraint: DingTalk streaming depends on the AI Card create/deliver/stream/finalize lifecycle
Rejected: Fake DingTalk typing with standalone markdown | it would add chat noise instead of platform state
Rejected: Auto-pair WeChat after QR login | it bypasses the shared IM pairing model
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep WeChat streaming as block-send unless iLink adds editable messages; keep DingTalk streaming on AI Card APIs
Tested: bun run check:adapters; bun run check:server; cd desktop && bun run test src/stores/adapterStore.test.ts; cd desktop && bun run build; bunx tsc -p adapters/tsconfig.json --noEmit; git diff --check
Not-tested: Live WeChat and DingTalk platform smoke with real production credentials
DingTalk uses QR registration to store client credentials, then reuses the existing IM pairing and session bridge. The merged main implementation keeps the existing WeChat QR binding path intact while adding DingTalk as a peer IM platform. The default IM workdir now falls back to the local user working directory so a newly bound chat can start immediately even when recent-project history is empty.
Constraint: Local main already carries WeChat IM, so the merge keeps WeChat config, QR binding, sidecar args, and unbind behavior intact while adding DingTalk.
Rejected: Keep empty defaultProjectDir as project-picker-only | newly bound IM users can hit a dead end with no recent projects.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep IM platform unions synchronized across config, pairing, sidecar args, desktop settings, and docs.
Tested: bun test common/ dingtalk/ wechat/; bun test src/server/__tests__/adapters.test.ts; cd adapters && bunx tsc --noEmit; bun run check:policy; bun run check:server; bun run check:desktop; bun run check:adapters; bun run check:native; bun run check:docs
Not-tested: quality:pr full gate was blocked by existing local main CLI-core diff requiring allow-cli-core-change maintainer approval; live post-fix DingTalk second-message delivery was not repeated after the merge.
Bring the provider context-window, auth-secret masking, and explicit auth-strategy worktree commits onto main after local verification. The merge keeps main's notification and docs history intact while preserving the provider fixes as separate commits.
Constraint: main has diverged with local desktop notification and docs commits, so this cannot be fast-forwarded safely.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep provider auth behavior configured through preset authStrategy rather than implicit env-name guesses.

WeChat needs a QR-paired path instead of bot-token setup, so the adapter layer now includes the iLink protocol calls, desktop pairing UI, server-side bind/unbind APIs, and shared IM command behavior. Empty project history falls back to the user's default work directory so mobile /new works without pre-opening a desktop project.
Constraint: Tencent iLink login returns a URL that the desktop UI must render as a QR image locally
Constraint: IM adapters should keep /new, /projects, status, permission, and default workdir behavior consistent across WeChat, Feishu, and Telegram
Rejected: Require users to paste absolute project paths for first WeChat sessions | mobile onboarding should work from the default user working directory
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not change WeChat polling back to overlapping intervals; getupdates is a long-poll endpoint and must remain serialized
Tested: Real WeChat QR scan, inbound /status, outbound reply, and unbind E2E
Tested: bun run check:adapters
Tested: bun run quality:pr
Not-tested: Re-scan live WeChat after the default-workdir fallback tweak; covered by adapter config tests and PR gate
Provider presets now carry an explicit auth strategy so Anthropic-compatible services can choose the right Claude Code environment shape instead of relying on one global variable. The desktop editor exposes the same strategy, keeps settings.json previews in sync, and applies the strategy to connection tests as well as runtime env sync.
Constraint: Third-party Anthropic-compatible providers do not agree on ANTHROPIC_API_KEY versus ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN.
Rejected: Force all third-party providers onto one env var | breaks providers that require bearer auth, dual variables, or dummy local auth.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Add new provider presets with explicit authStrategy; do not infer auth behavior from model names alone.
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/providers.test.ts src/server/__tests__/providers-real.test.ts src/server/__tests__/provider-presets.test.ts src/server/__tests__/conversation-service.test.ts

Tested: agent-browser provider edit flow on http://127.0.0.1:19811
Not-tested: Live successful calls for every third-party provider with real credentials.
Teach provider presets and saved providers to carry per-model context windows so auto-compact uses provider-specific limits instead of a blanket fallback. The desktop provider form now keeps these limits in an advanced context section and syncs the generated settings preview with model changes.
Constraint: Third-party provider APIs do not consistently expose machine-readable model context windows.
Rejected: Keep a single 100K/200K fallback | modern provider windows vary from 128K to 1M+ and the fallback caused late or early compaction.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not change provider compact thresholds without re-running real provider long-context checks.
Tested: bun test src/services/compact/autoCompact.test.ts; bun test src/server/__tests__/provider-presets.test.ts src/server/__tests__/providers.test.ts src/server/__tests__/providers-real.test.ts; bun run check:server; bun run check:desktop; bun run check:policy; bun run check:native; MiniMax/Kimi/DeepSeek live long-context probes; agent-browser provider form flow.
Not-tested: quality:pr policy gate still requires explicit allow-cli-core-change for CLI core edits.
Add native system notifications as a desktop-wide attention channel for permission prompts and scheduled task completion. The implementation keeps notification presentation owned by the OS, adds a user-facing enable switch with permission handling, and lets scheduled tasks choose desktop notifications without routing that channel through IM adapters.
Constraint: Notifications must use OS-native APIs without custom sound playback.
Constraint: Desktop channel is local-only and must not be sent through IM adapter delivery.
Rejected: Browser Notification API | not reliable inside the packaged Tauri desktop runtime.
Rejected: Treat desktop as an IM channel | would leak a local-only channel into server-side adapter sending.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep notification styling at the OS layer; business code should only provide title, body, dedupe, and routing decisions.
Tested: bun run check:desktop
Tested: bun run quality:pr
Tested: Computer Use macOS debug app verification for settings toggle, permission prompt, scheduled task desktop channel, and task-run polling dedupe
Not-tested: Windows and Linux native runtime smoke tests on physical hosts
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.

Not-tested: Destructive clear-logs button in browser E2E; local deletion was intentionally not clicked.
The desktop workspace panel and chat transcript were mixing project-level file state with per-turn session history, which made rewind, file attachment, and changed-file previews brittle across multi-turn and historical sessions. This keeps turn checkpoints durable in the transcript, makes workspace refreshes happen at the right lifecycle points, and hardens long file previews without blocking the UI.
Constraint: Right-side workspace changes are project working-tree state, while chat turn cards are session checkpoint state.
Rejected: Treat every changed-file panel entry as session-local | new sessions must still reveal existing dirty project files.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not couple global workspace status to session checkpoint cards without preserving both product meanings.

Native Anthropic web search is only reliable for Claude-family model names,
while many configured providers either do not implement the server tool schema
or reject it through proxy layers. This routes WebSearch through a single
resolver, adds Tavily and Brave fallbacks, and exposes provider key setup in
the desktop settings page.
Constraint: Third-party Anthropic-compatible endpoints may reject web_search_20250305 even when the model name is Claude-like
Constraint: Non-Claude models still need a usable WebSearch path when users configure an external search provider
Rejected: Gate native WebSearch by base URL | third-party Claude proxies can support it and official-looking URLs are not the real capability boundary
Rejected: Always expose Anthropic native WebSearch | unsupported providers loop on schema or tool errors
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep WebSearch capability resolution centralized in WebSearchTool/backend.ts before adding more search providers
Tested: bun test src/tools/WebSearchTool/backend.test.ts
