The site had drifted from the product. Every screenshot predated the
v0.5.0 UI redesign, the reading experience shipped no search and no
syntax highlighting, and a third of the pages were internal process
artefacts — migration task lists addressed to agentic workers, a
release runbook, a proposal marked "historical".
Reorganise around the only two people who read this: someone getting
the desktop app running for the first time, and someone reading the
source. Five sections replace nine — start / desktop / im / cli /
internals — and the pages that served neither reader are gone.
Site rewrite:
- Palette lifted from the desktop app's 「纸·墨·印」 themes, so the
site and the product read as one thing. Light mirrors 纯白, dark
mirrors 墨夜, and dark mode exists at all now.
- Fonts are self-hosted. The old @import from Google Fonts is
unreachable from mainland China, which left every heading in a
fallback serif; it also only requested weight 600 while the CSS
asked for 900, so Latin and CJK in the same heading disagreed.
- Docs were shipped as one 968KB manifest downloaded on every page
view. Split into a 32KB index plus one lazily imported chunk per
page; the entry bundle is now 101KB gzipped.
- Add search, syntax highlighting, per-route meta with canonical and
hreflang, a sitemap, and an error boundary. Replace the 44vh
mobile sidebar with a drawer.
- Image dimensions are read at build time and written into the tag,
so lazy images reserve their space instead of collapsing.
Screenshots are recaptured from a real v0.5.0 build against a clean
demo project, with tokens, QR codes and paired accounts redacted.
The previous set is deleted rather than kept alongside.
Routes follow file paths, so the restructure would have broken every
inbound link; 37 old paths redirect, in both languages. The PR policy
gate and CODEOWNERS also hardcoded docs/guide/contributing.md.
Verified: check:docs 78 pages / 323 links / 0 problems, check:policy
127 pass. Walked every route at 1440 and 390 in both themes for
overflow, contrast, keyboard reachability and focus management.
Two reviews of the icon swap, run independently from opposite directions,
turned up three places the new mark never reached.
The og:image was the worst. `site/index.html:20` points at
`/images/banner.png`, and that file does not come from `docs/images/banner.png`
— the one this rebrand replaced. `site/scripts/prepare-static-output.mjs:129`
copies `docs/public/` wholesale into the site root before the two selective
image passes run, and neither of those matches an absolute https:// URL, so
`docs/public/images/banner.png` is what shipped. It was a 1200x630 screenshot
of the old site: blue panels, old circular CC badge. Every link shared to
WeChat or Slack would have previewed the pre-rebrand brand while the site
itself rendered the new one. Replaced with a card built from the new lockup;
`site/dist/images/banner.png` now hashes to it.
`desktop/src-tauri/app-icon.png` is the canonical 1024 RGBA source the platform
icon set gets regenerated from. That rule lived only in the body of 3f2ce2a6c,
and nothing references the file in code, so the rebrand skipped it — breaking
an invariant that had held since the file was introduced, where it and
`desktop/public/app-icon.png` were the same git blob. Left as it was, whoever
regenerated icons next would have restored the entire old set.
Linux had no icon above 310px. electron-builder points `linux.icon` at the
whole icons directory and keeps only files named NxN, so `icon.png` (512, no
dimensions in the name) and `128x128@2x.png` (256, collides with
`128x128.png`) were both dropped, leaving a Windows Store asset as the largest
entry. Adding 256x256.png and 512x512.png takes the resolved set from 12
entries topping out at 310 to 14 topping out at 512, confirmed by running
app-builder's icon resolver against the directory.
index.html also had no favicon, and that document is what the H5 remote client
loads in a phone browser.
CI could not have caught any of this — `scripts/quality-gate/package-smoke/`
asserts nothing about icons. `desktop/icon-assets.test.ts` now pins the source
invariant, the Linux sizes, the three packaged icons and the favicon; each
assertion was checked to fail when its subject is reverted.
Introduce the Electron desktop shell alongside the existing React renderer and local Bun server boundary. The migration keeps the DesktopHost contract explicit across Tauri, Electron, and browser runtimes while adding Electron main/preload services for dialogs, shell, notifications, updates, tray/window lifecycle, terminal, preview WebContentsView, app mode, and release/package validation.
The commit also carries the latest local main desktop command updates, including agent slash entries and hidden-by-default markdown thinking details, so the packaged Electron build matches the current main UX surface.
Constraint: React renderer, local Bun server, REST/WebSocket, and sidecar boundaries must remain reusable during the migration
Constraint: macOS dev packages are ad-hoc signed and cannot prove Developer ID notarization or Gatekeeper release launch
Rejected: Browser-only smoke validation | it cannot exercise native dialogs, keychain prompts, notification behavior, or packaged app startup
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: broad
Directive: Do not remove Tauri host support until signed Electron release artifacts pass native OS smoke on macOS, Windows, and Linux

The generated logo asset carried both an opaque square canvas and an inner rounded tile, so the desktop empty state and sidebar rendered a visible nested background. Rebuilt the canonical app icon with transparent outside corners, one white rounded badge, and a centered mark, then regenerated the Tauri icon set and docs raster assets from that source.
Constraint: Existing desktop views consume /app-icon.png directly with no wrapper background to remove.
Rejected: Add CSS masking around each img usage | would leave native app icons and docs assets with the same nested canvas problem.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep desktop/src-tauri/app-icon.png as the canonical 1024 RGBA source before regenerating platform icons.
Tested: cd desktop && bun run build; npm run --loglevel=error docs:build; git diff --check; sips alpha and size checks; iconutil icns size ladder; Chrome DevTools light and forced-dark screenshots.
Not-tested: full bun run verify gate, per prior instruction to skip local gate for this logo pass.
The desktop app and documentation need to present the new logo consistently, so the canonical 1024px source icon now feeds the Tauri icon family, desktop public assets, README images, and VitePress brand imagery.
Constraint: Tauri bundle icons are generated assets and must be refreshed from the source icon rather than relying on README or public image replacement alone
Rejected: Rename logo paths | existing README, desktop, and docs references can keep stable paths and pick up the new files directly
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Regenerate desktop/src-tauri/icons whenever desktop/src-tauri/app-icon.png changes
Tested: cd desktop && bun run build; npm run --loglevel=error docs:build; git diff --check; iconutil expanded icon.icns size ladder
Not-tested: full local quality gate per request
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.
Rejected: Store the selected model as a global provider activeModel | chat runtime selection is per session.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not remove CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST without validating Desktop provider switching against stale settings env.
