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
execution, local build/release paths are safer, and Feishu/Telegram now expose
lightweight mobile commands (/help, /status, /clear) without adding a new
adapter-specific protocol.
Constraint: Desktop releases must publish updater artifacts from non-draft GitHub releases
Constraint: IM commands need short, phone-friendly responses and low operational complexity
Rejected: Add a dedicated IM command API surface | re-used existing slash commands and session/task REST endpoints to keep adapters thin
Rejected: Wait for task_update push events in WebUI | added low-risk polling because the current frontend ignores that event path
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: broad
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep IM command replies terse and mobile-first, and merge local fallback slash commands when server-provided lists are partial
Tested: cd desktop && bun x vitest run src/components/chat/MermaidRenderer.test.tsx src/components/markdown/MarkdownRenderer.test.tsx
Tested: cd desktop && bun x vitest run src/components/chat/composerUtils.test.ts src/pages/ActiveSession.test.tsx src/stores/chatStore.test.ts
Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/conversations.test.ts --test-name-pattern "SDK init arrives only after the first user turn" --timeout 60000
Tested: cd adapters && bun test common/ feishu/ telegram/
Tested: cd adapters && bunx tsc --noEmit
Not-tested: Full GitHub Actions release run on all three desktop platforms
Not-tested: Local DMG packaging end-to-end on Apple Silicon
Not-tested: Real Feishu/Telegram device sessions against a live adapter process
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)
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).
