A desktop session can pass the startup grace window and then lose its CLI subprocess before a result arrives. Previously that path only deleted the active process record, leaving the WebSocket client in an active turn with no terminal message. The process-exit handler now emits a synthetic CLI error result through the existing translation path so the UI receives both an error and message_complete. The mock SDK fixture can reproduce post-startup exits, and the integration test locks the terminal event behavior.
Constraint: The frontend already relies on result is_error translation to emit error plus message_complete.
Rejected: Add a separate WebSocket process-exit message type | it would duplicate existing result-error handling and require another frontend state path.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep process-exit failures on the same result-error path unless the client protocol gains a dedicated terminal error event.

Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: agent-browser against http://127.0.0.1:1421 with mock CLI late exit; page showed CLI process exited unexpectedly and composer became editable again
Desktop slash command handling needed a few follow-up guards after adding
CLI parity. Bare /clear remains a local desktop reset, but /clear with
arguments is rejected instead of silently discarding user text. Clear also
resets cached slash commands, compact boundaries preserve CLI-provided text,
and the help panel now discloses when the More section is truncated.
Constraint: Preserve the desktop /clear fast path without accepting accidental arguments
Rejected: Let /clear arguments fall through to the CLI | the CLI command still clears context and would keep the footgun
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow

Not-tested: Full pages.test.tsx because unrelated locale-sensitive assertions are already present in that file
Desktop had no reliable handling for common local slash commands, so
commands like /clear, /help, /context, /cost, and /compact either looked
unresponsive or lost their CLI-specific side effects. This routes desktop
commands by behavior: local panels stay local, stateful clear resets the
session transcript, and CLI-local outputs are rendered in chat.
Constraint: Preserve existing CLI semantics for prompt, local, local-jsx, and compact slash commands
Rejected: Send every slash command through the normal chat path | local commands need desktop UI or session state side effects

Desktop sessions could show MCP configuration in the UI while the CLI SDK child process still started cold on the first user message. Start eligible desktop chat sessions as soon as their websocket is connected, keep init metadata cached but muted, and wait briefly for MCP startup in SDK print mode so turn one sees the tools.
Constraint: Desktop wraps the existing CLI SDK bridge rather than owning MCP startup directly.
Rejected: Prewarm every restored tab | synthetic tabs such as settings would start unnecessary CLI subprocesses.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate

Desktop sessions can switch provider and model while a CLI subprocess is already alive, so the server now serializes runtime restarts and marks provider-managed launches to prevent stale settings env from overriding the selected provider. Provider settings also write API key env consistently and clear stale managed keys before syncing.
This includes the related desktop/docs brand asset refresh and keeps the desktop locale default in Chinese, with tests updated to match the current provider semantics.
Constraint: Session-scoped model selection must win over cc-haha/settings.json and inherited ANTHROPIC_* values.

The desktop model picker now stores a session-scoped provider/model selection instead of relying on the global active provider. That selection is replayed on connect, passed into the CLI startup path, and preserved across turns until the user changes it again.
To make that true end-to-end, the server now restarts the session process when runtime selection changes, injects provider-scoped env for third-party providers, and routes proxy traffic by provider id. The selector UI was also tightened so provider grouping stays visible while the actual model choice remains readable.
Constraint: Different providers can expose the same model id, so chat runtime selection cannot be derived from model id alone
Constraint: A desktop session reuses one CLI subprocess across turns, so runtime changes must restart that process to take effect
Rejected: Keep using Settings active provider as the chat selector | conflates defaults with live session state and breaks overlapping models
Rejected: UI-only runtime switching without server restart | later turns would continue using the old CLI subprocess configuration

Not-tested: Real third-party provider round-trip from the desktop UI against a live upstream account
The desktop app already shipped a bundled sidecar, but only desktop-managed
sessions could see it. This change installs a `claude-haha` launcher into the
user bin directory, wires PATH setup so new terminals can resolve it, and keeps
desktop installer sessions aligned on the same bundled sidecar resolution path.
The desktop install surface now also reports whether the launcher is ready or
still waiting on a terminal restart.
Constraint: The worktree already contains unrelated icon, docs, and UI changes, so this commit stages only the bundled CLI launcher slice
Rejected: Tell users to install the official Claude CLI separately | it breaks the desktop out-of-box install story
Rejected: Keep the bundled CLI reachable only inside desktop-managed shells | system terminals would still be unable to call the packaged runtime
Rejected: Symlink directly into the app bundle instead of copying to user bin | moving or replacing the app bundle would leave a stale launcher behind

Not-tested: Manual packaged desktop app install plus real Terminal/iTerm/PowerShell invocation on fresh macOS and Windows machines
The desktop Settings flow needed a real shell for bundled CLI setup, but the
restart path could hang behind old PTY teardown. Wire an xterm.js panel to a
portable-pty backend, inject the bundled CLI into the shell bootstrap, and
switch to the new session before cleaning up the previous one so restart work
stays off the frontend critical path.
Constraint: The desktop app must ship its own CLI entrypoint instead of depending on a global Claude install
Constraint: PTY teardown must not block the Tauri invoke path
Rejected: Reuse the install chat for arbitrary shell commands | it does not provide a real interactive PTY
Rejected: Close the old PTY before adopting the new session | it keeps restart vulnerable to hung child shutdown

Not-tested: End-to-end command echo inside the packaged desktop terminal still needs follow-up runtime verification
The desktop provider flow was still mixing provider-managed state with
`~/.claude/settings.json`, which let unrelated tools leak fields like
`ANTHROPIC_REASONING_MODEL` and `model` back into the active provider path.
This change moves the provider JSON editor onto `~/.claude/cc-haha/settings.json`,
routes provider settings through dedicated `/api/providers/settings` endpoints,
and makes model reads/writes under an active provider use the managed cc-haha
settings instead of the global user settings file.
Constraint: Active provider model selection must be isolated from legacy ~/.claude/settings.json
Rejected: Keep merging provider JSON with settingsApi.getUser() | external tools can reintroduce unrelated model fields into the provider flow

Not-tested: Manual desktop provider modal interaction after the cc-haha settings API switch
The provider picker had two separate preset definitions and some defaults had
started to drift from the model IDs vendors document for Claude Code /
Anthropic-compatible usage. This change moves built-in presets to one
server-side JSON source, serves that source through the existing presets API,
and makes the desktop settings page consume the API instead of a duplicated
frontend constant. The preset defaults were then corrected against vendor docs
so the built-in values match documented model IDs and casing.
Constraint: Built-in provider defaults must match official vendor Claude Code or Anthropic docs
Rejected: Keep duplicated frontend and backend preset lists | values and casing drifted independently
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Update src/server/config/providerPresets.json and rerun provider-presets tests before changing built-in provider defaults again

Desktop MCP settings was synchronously probing every configured server from /api/mcp, which made the list page scale with connection latency and surface brittle behavior as installs accumulated more MCPs. Return lightweight snapshot rows from the list API, keep explicit status checks separate, and let the desktop UI refresh status in a constrained background lane while preserving project-aware server identity.
Constraint: MCP list must stay responsive even with many configured servers

Merged the desktop MCP management work into local main and retained

Desktop MCP management now has a working server API, a global-only settings surface,

The desktop app could read plugin-produced skills and agents, but it had no
plugin control plane of its own. This adds a dedicated Settings tab backed by
server-side plugin APIs so installed plugins can be inspected, enabled,
disabled, updated, reloaded, and uninstalled from the WebUI.
The implementation also teaches browser-based desktop dev sessions to honor a
custom backend URL, which made it possible to run isolated worktree ports for
real UI automation. During verification, the long-lived desktop server kept a
stale installed-plugin snapshot after external CLI mutations, so cache clearing
now resets that session-level plugin installation state as well.
Constraint: Desktop WebUI needed an isolated backend URL instead of the hard-coded 127.0.0.1:3456 fallback
Constraint: Reuse existing plugin operations and loaders instead of rebuilding plugin lifecycle logic in the desktop layer
Rejected: Fold plugin management into Skills or Adapters | mixed unrelated lifecycles and hid plugin-specific health/actions

Not-tested: Full desktop session runtime parity with CLI /reload-plugins AppState refresh beyond the new desktop API path
The desktop client already had a conversation-level rewind UI concept on the
CLI side, but the web/desktop surface lacked the protocol, session trimming,
and file checkpoint restore path needed to make rewind trustworthy. This change
adds a desktop-specific rewind API, wires the message-level UI affordance and
confirmation modal, enables SDK file checkpointing for desktop sessions, and
covers the restore path with service tests plus a real agent-browser workflow.
Constraint: Desktop sessions run the CLI in SDK/print mode, so file checkpointing had to be enabled explicitly for that path
Constraint: main branch is checked out in a separate worktree, so merge-back must happen from the primary worktree after commit
Rejected: UI-only rewind that only trims local state | would leave persisted transcript and disk state inconsistent after refresh
Rejected: Reuse getLastSessionLog as the sole snapshot source | active rewind must read file-history metadata directly from the session file

Desktop session interruptions were leaving two different classes of stale UI
artifacts behind: reconnects could silently lose in-flight output, and history
reloads could replay synthetic interruption or internal command breadcrumbs as
if they were user-facing transcript content. This change rebinds active session
output to the latest client websocket on reconnect, preserves queued outbound
messages across transient disconnects, and filters synthetic transcript entries
before they reach the desktop history API so reloads reconstruct only the
messages users should actually see.
Constraint: Desktop transcript history is shared with CLI JSONL files and must stay compatible with persisted message shapes
Rejected: Hide these artifacts only in React renderers | other transcript consumers would still receive polluted history

Not-tested: Manual browser verification of the refreshed session transcript after interrupt on this exact session
Completed desktop task bars were only being dismissed locally, which let the
persisted task list resurface on refresh or bleed into the next user turn.
This wires the existing server-side reset path into the desktop stores and
session flow so a finished task cycle is summarized once, cleared locally,
and removed remotely before the next round starts.
Constraint: Existing task persistence already lives behind the server task-list API and must stay compatible with persisted JSON task files
Rejected: Only hide the completed task bar in UI state | left stale persisted tasks behind and reintroduced them on reload
Rejected: Clear desktop state without a task summary | dropped useful completion context from the chat transcript

Desktop-managed sessions were blocking the first visible token on slow or failing
regular MCP connections, which made the UI feel much slower than direct bin runs.
This keeps partial assistant streaming enabled for desktop sessions and moves
regular MCP connection work off the critical path only for sdk-url startup.
Constraint: Desktop sdk-url sessions must preserve chat responsiveness even when local MCP endpoints fail or hang
Rejected: Leave MCP startup fully blocking in sdk-url mode | first visible token stayed several seconds behind direct CLI runs

Concurrent writes to the same settings file could interleave and leave user
preferences in a partially updated state, and a restarted conversation session
could still be torn down by an older process exit callback. This serializes
per-file settings writes, hardens temp-file handling, adds regression coverage
for both service behaviors, and drops an unused sidecar external from the
build exclude list.
Constraint: Settings writes must remain atomic while allowing multiple service entry points to update the same JSON file
Rejected: Keep fire-and-forget writes with unique temp names only | still allows stale reads and last-writer races between callers

Desktop @-mentions were collapsing filesystem browse failures into an empty
state, which made /private/tmp aliases on macOS look like real empty
directories. The server now treats /private/tmp as the same temp root as
/tmp on Darwin, and the menu surfaces explicit access/load errors instead of
pretending the directory has no files.
Constraint: Desktop browse/file APIs must stay restricted to approved roots
Constraint: Native macOS pickers and realpath() may canonicalize /tmp to /private/tmp

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

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

The desktop chat store was dropping the previous assistant draft when a new user turn began because streaming text was cleared before it was flushed into message history. At the same time, the desktop OAuth flow was using an unregistered /api/haha-oauth/callback redirect URI, which caused provider authorization failures. This change flushes visible assistant drafts before starting a new turn, restores the OAuth redirect to the registered localhost callback, and adds a root callback handler while keeping the legacy API callback path compatible.
Constraint: The OAuth provider only accepts the registered localhost /callback redirect URI

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 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

Add a protocol-translating reverse proxy that allows using OpenAI-compatible
API providers (DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Groq, etc.) with Claude Code.
The proxy intercepts Anthropic Messages API requests from the CLI, transforms
them to OpenAI Chat Completions or Responses API format, forwards to the
upstream provider, and transforms streaming/non-streaming responses back.
Key features:
- Request transform: Anthropic Messages → OpenAI Chat/Responses
- Response transform: OpenAI → Anthropic (streaming SSE + non-streaming)
- Provider-agnostic reasoning support (reasoning_content, thinking_blocks,
reasoning fields from DeepSeek, OpenAI o-series, GLM-5, Groq, etc.)
- Event queue pattern for correct Anthropic SSE event ordering
- Two-step test: ① connectivity check ② full proxy pipeline validation
- Desktop UI: API format selector, two-step test results display

- Update AgentDefinition type with agentType, source, isActive, modelDisplay fields
- Refactor agentStore to support activeAgents/allAgents with cwd parameter
- Add i18n strings for agent browser UI (source labels, summary, status)
- Update server agents API with serialization helpers and override resolution
- Update tests to match new agent data structure

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
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- MessageList.test.tsx chatStore.test.ts
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/sessions.test.ts -t should\ reconstruct\ parent\ agent\ tool\ linkage\ from\ parentUuid\ chains
Not-tested: Full end-to-end visual verification against live CLI sessions with sub-agent text/thinking nested inline
Cron task metadata writes can overlap closely enough that a timestamp-only
$temp filename is not stable. Harden the atomic write path by using a
collision-resistant temp name and retrying once when rename reports ENOENT.
Constraint: Scheduled task persistence must keep atomic replace semantics in ~/.claude/scheduled_tasks.json
Rejected: Add explicit file locking around every scheduled task write | more coordination overhead than the observed transient rename race warrants
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep scheduled task writes collision-resistant and retriable; do not revert to timestamp-only temp file names without reproducing concurrent writes
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/scheduled-tasks.test.ts
Not-tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/cron-scheduler.test.ts (existing timeouts and unrelated assertion failures in this checkout)
Implement a full Provider management layer compatible with Claude Code's settings.json protocol.
- ProviderService: CRUD + activation + settings.json sync + HTTP connectivity test
- Provider REST API: 8 endpoints (list, get, create, update, delete, activate, test)
- API key masking in GET responses (sk-a****xyz)
- Models API refactored to read from active Provider dynamically
- 42 unit tests + 6 real-config integration tests, all passing

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)
- Fix translateCliMessage to return ServerMessage[] with full tool lifecycle
(tool_result, tool_use_complete, toolInput, thinking, stream_event)
- Add CronScheduler that actually executes scheduled tasks via CLI subprocess,
with execution log persistence and GET /api/scheduled-tasks/:id/runs API
- Add TeamWatcher polling ~/.claude/teams/ every 3s, broadcasting team_update/
team_created/team_deleted to all WebSocket clients
- 280 tests pass (51 new), real LLM integration verified via MiniMax API

Three new modules completing the server-side functionality:
1. ConversationService: spawns CLI as subprocess with --input-format
stream-json, forwards WebSocket messages to CLI stdin/stdout.
CLI handles all AI communication, tool execution, and permissions.
Graceful fallback to echo mode when CLI unavailable.
2. Agent Teams API: GET/DELETE /api/teams, member listing with status
derivation (running/idle/completed), transcript reading from
CLI-generated JSONL files. Teams created by CLI, API is read-only.
3. TaskService: replaces placeholder with real task file scanning
from ~/.claude/tasks/, supports nested team directories.
229 tests passing (49 new: 12 conversations + 27 teams + 10 tasks).

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.
