The settings page could create project-scoped MCP servers for an explicit
target path, but subsequent reloads only fetched the active session cwd.
That made newly-added local or project MCP entries disappear when the
target project differed from the active session or was only represented in
the user config.
Load MCP settings from the active project, recent projects, and project
keys that already contain user-private MCP config. Project-scoped rows now
render their project path and use project-aware identity keys so same-name
servers in different projects stay distinct.
Constraint: MCP local scope is keyed by project path in the user config, while project scope still resolves through the request cwd
Rejected: Filesystem scan for every possible .mcp.json | unbounded and too expensive for settings load
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not collapse settings MCP fetches back to a single cwd; project/local scopes are cwd-sensitive

Windows folder selection can surface drive roots as D:, which Node treats as drive-relative instead of the absolute D:\ root. Normalize drive-root inputs before resolving launch directories, filesystem access roots, transcript metadata, and workspace paths. Use path.relative containment checks so drive roots and child projects remain distinct in session grouping and file access.
Constraint: Windows drive-root inputs may arrive as C:, D:, or any other single-letter drive prefix

Desktop MCP local and project scopes were still anchored to the active session workDir when adding or editing servers, which made a selected session worktree look like the target project. The form now treats the target project as explicit input for local/project scopes, and the server update path can remove the old scoped config before writing to the newly selected directory.
Constraint: Local MCP scope is private user config keyed by project path; project scope writes the selected project's .mcp.json
Rejected: Keep using the active session workDir as the implicit target | it can point at transient session worktrees and hides where config is written

Portable desktop installs can mutate CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR from an embedded or external CLI while the desktop server is already running. The server skill surface now rereads plugin-related state before listing skills, and /reload-plugins refreshes plugin skills alongside plugin commands so terminal sessions see the same enabled skills without a restart.
Constraint: Portable mode expects CLI, desktop API, and terminal sessions to share the selected CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR even when writes happen from separate processes

Desktop MCP settings were using the process startup directory for local
project config and treated new custom servers as user-global. The desktop
API now carries the active cwd into local MCP reads, writes, and enablement
state, and the settings page exposes the same local/project/user scopes that
the CLI supports.
Constraint: Claude Code MCP scope semantics are local, project, and user.
Constraint: Desktop sessions can switch projects inside one long-lived server process.
Rejected: Only clear getProjectPathForConfig cache | still leaves request-scoped desktop API calls tied to getOriginalCwd

File browsing and workspace trees were treating every dot-prefixed entry as hidden, which made project files such as .env.example impossible to select through the desktop file surfaces. The fix keeps normal dotfiles and project folders visible while still hiding VCS metadata directories such as .git.

H5 access broke after switching Wi-Fi: the previously saved private-LAN host
(e.g. 192.168.1.207) was no longer bound to any interface on the current
network (which had moved to 192.168.0.x), but commit da8308de only refreshed
the stale *port* and kept the stale *hostname*. The QR code therefore pointed
at an IP this machine no longer had, and phones got TCP-refused.
Two changes:
1. resolveEffectiveH5PublicBaseUrl now accepts the set of local IPv4 hosts
and, when the stored URL is a plain private-LAN HTTP URL whose hostname
is no longer on any interface, falls back to the auto-discovered URL —
without overwriting the stored value, so switching back to the original
network restores it automatically.
2. H5AccessService.updateSettings now validates the publicBaseUrl on save.
Plain LAN URLs whose host is not on any local interface are rejected with
a 400 + suggested LAN IP. Reverse-proxy URLs (https, custom path, hostname
targets) are accepted unchanged because reachability is owned by the
user's tunnel / nginx / cloudflared setup, not the desktop.
GET /api/h5-access also returns a diagnostics block (storedHostStaleness,
suggestedHost, localInterfaceHosts, effectivePublicBaseUrl) so the desktop
Settings page can render a warning banner with a one-click switch to the
current LAN IP, plus a quieter note for proxy URLs.
Constraint: Reverse-proxy users may legitimately point H5 at a hostname that
is not on this machine's network adapters; we must not regress that path.
Rejected: Reachability-probe arbitrary public URLs from the server | the
desktop cannot reliably round-trip through the user's external tunnel and
should not pretend to validate it.
Rejected: Overwrite the stored host with the auto host | users on multi-
network laptops would lose their pinned WSL/Docker-aware choice on every
Wi-Fi switch.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not narrow validateH5PublicBaseUrl to reject reverse-proxy
URLs without restoring an explicit opt-in path for them.

Desktop worktree sessions should show the source project and worktree marker without surfacing implementation refs like worktree-desktop-* as user-facing branch state. The git-info response now keeps launch branch metadata separate from worktree identity, and the desktop chip hides branch and slug labels in isolated worktree mode.
Constraint: Git worktrees need an internal branch for isolated execution, but that ref is product plumbing rather than useful UI context
Rejected: Show both launch branch and worktree slug | duplicated noisy identifiers and confused the session location

Computer Use now rejects Python runtimes below 3.9 before running pip,

Desktop git-info preserved the launch branch before checking the active worktree cwd, so materialized isolated worktree sessions could keep showing the source branch instead of the branch Git had checked out in the worktree. The API now switches to the real cwd branch only once the session has actually entered its planned worktree, while direct branch launches still keep their stable launch branch.
Constraint: Direct branch launches still need stable launch metadata when the source checkout later changes.

OpenAI rejects Codex OAuth authorize URLs when the redirect URI uses the desktop API server's dynamic port. The desktop ChatGPT Official flow now starts a temporary Codex callback listener and generates the authorize URL with that callback port, while keeping token exchange and storage in the existing desktop OAuth service.
Constraint: OpenAI Codex OAuth client accepts the Codex-compatible localhost callback shape, not arbitrary desktop API ports.
Rejected: Keep routing the callback through the desktop server port | that fails before the browser can return an authorization code.

Desktop users need to see automatic context compaction as a transient transcript state instead of a stray stdout bubble or large card. The UI now collapses prior visible content into a compact timeline divider, shows the compacting phase, then updates the same divider with the completed summary affordance.
Constraint: CLI compaction emits both status and synthetic transcript artifacts that must be normalized before rendering

The ChatGPT Official OAuth start flow already generated the Codex /auth/callback redirect, but the desktop server only handled the older /callback/openai path. Real HTTP and UI E2E exposed the mismatch, so the server now routes the Codex callback path while retaining the legacy alias.

Local main added desktop branch-from-chat, attribution headers, sidecar packaging changes, and provider model normalization. The merge keeps those mainline changes while preserving ChatGPT Official provider metadata, OpenAI OAuth runtime env, provider-load guards, and model catalog behavior.

Desktop users need the same branch-from-here workflow that the CLI already exposed, so the branch creation logic now lives in a shared transcript utility and the desktop app routes completed message actions through the server API. The UI hydrates transcript ids after live completions so newly generated turns can be branched immediately without a refresh.
Constraint: Source sessions must remain unmodified while branch sessions inherit the active transcript chain and persistence metadata.
Rejected: Keep a desktop-only branch implementation | it would drift from CLI /branch semantics and duplicate transcript filtering rules
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not remove the post-completion transcript hydration without a real-model desktop E2E for just-finished messages
Tested: bun run verify; Chrome Web UI E2E with real gpt-5.5 provider on ports 45678/45679
Not-tested: Provider-specific behavior beyond the configured Sub2API-ChatGPT route
Provider-managed environments should preserve Claude attribution only when the selected model is actually Claude-prefixed. Non-Claude provider models now disable the attribution header so third-party providers do not inherit Claude-specific prompt metadata.
Constraint: Claude model detection is intentionally model-name based to match the requested provider policy.
Rejected: Remove attribution headers globally | official Claude-prefixed models should keep existing behavior.
Confidence: high

Directive: Do not broaden this policy without live provider request-shape verification.
Tested: Targeted server, provider, settings, cron, and managed-env tests in prior verification pass.

When ChatGPT Official is active, the model API now returns the OpenAI Codex catalog and reads or writes the selected GPT model from cc-haha managed settings. Desktop provider activation also recognizes the built-in provider id and resets the current model to the OpenAI default instead of looking for a saved provider record.
Constraint: ChatGPT Official is a built-in provider and is not present in providers.json providers[].

Remote main carries portable-mode, legacy Windows workdir recovery, and Feishu path-safety fixes while local main carries terminal shell, update proxy, slash-command, prompt-draft, AskUserQuestion, background-work, and shell-env changes. This merge keeps both lines by layering portable Bash-path defaults underneath the desktop terminal shell preference and preserving both update-proxy and app-mode settings state.
Constraint: Local main and origin/main diverged after v0.2.7 and both lines contain release-relevant desktop/runtime fixes
Rejected: Prefer either side's terminal settings wholesale | would drop either Windows portable Bash support or explicit desktop startup-shell support

The desktop command list could be replaced by a partial live CLI update after a turn, and the server fallback only knew about skills. Keep the client list stable while refreshing from the authoritative session endpoint, and include legacy .claude/commands entries in that endpoint.

New desktop sessions populated slash suggestions from the session endpoint before the CLI had emitted init metadata. That endpoint only scanned user and project skill directories, while the plugin settings view and global skills API already saw enabled plugin skills such as superpowers. The session endpoint now reuses the global skill listing and merges it with any cached CLI slash commands, and both composer surfaces rank command-name matches before broad description matches so /su surfaces superpowers first.
Constraint: New sessions need plugin skills before the first real user turn starts the CLI.
Rejected: Start or restart a hidden CLI process on plugin enable | heavier than needed and still misses the REST slash-command fallback path.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate

Plugin enablement already has a live CLI reload control path, so desktop now applies plugin changes by refreshing the active session instead of waiting for a future conversation startup. The server forwards reload_plugins to the active CLI session, refreshes session slash-command cache, and notifies the client. The desktop plugin store automatically reloads after mutating plugin state, and the empty-session composer refetches skills when plugin capabilities change.
Constraint: Existing CLI exposes reload_plugins as the supported hot-refresh mechanism for commands, agents, plugins, and MCP state.
Rejected: Start a hidden replacement CLI process | higher cost, extra process lifecycle risk, and less precise than the existing control channel.

Desktop sessions must treat the global Thinking toggle as the source of truth across active CLI sessions, title generation, and provider-compatible request bodies. DeepSeek-style streams can start with reasoning blocks before text, so the WebSocket bridge now keeps the UI in thinking state until text content actually starts.
Constraint: DeepSeek and MiniMax use Anthropic-compatible surfaces but expose thinking behavior through provider-specific request and stream shapes
Rejected: Keep provider-specific disabled-thinking env defaults | stale defaults kept overriding the user's global Thinking setting
Rejected: Treat every non-tool stream block as text | reasoning-only startup blocks created a blank streaming gap before the visible thinking bubble

Sidebar project ordering, pinning, and hidden-project state must survive
browser access to the same local server, so the UI now stores these
preferences under the cc-haha config directory and keeps localStorage as
a migration/cache fallback.
Constraint: Browser and H5 localStorage is isolated from the Tauri WebView
Rejected: Keep sidebar project preferences only in localStorage | browser sessions would not share state
Rejected: Reuse cc-haha/settings.json | provider and H5 access settings should stay separate

The desktop sidebar needed a project-first navigation model that keeps worktree sessions attached to their source project instead of scattering them as separate paths. The UI now renders sessions under project groups with project-level actions and persisted ordering, while the server exposes a logical project root for worktree transcripts.
Constraint: Existing memory directory tree work must remain separate from the session sidebar behavior.
Rejected: Group by raw transcript projectPath | worktree paths fragment the same repository into multiple sidebar projects.

Settings reported false negatives for resources the runtime could load, because the API paths used narrower discovery rules than the execution path. This keeps the Settings surfaces read-only where appropriate while matching runtime visibility for linked skills, version-constrained plugins, and merged MCP sources.
Constraint: Settings MCP list must not actively connect to servers while loading.

This brings the desktop memory worktree onto local main after main advanced with opener, IM, zoom, and autonomous goal work. The conflict resolution keeps both the selected-chat reference imports and memory event settings entrypoint in MessageList, and keeps both open-targets and memory API routes in the server router.
Constraint: main and feat/desktop-memory-surface diverged across desktop chat and server routing.
Constraint: desktop Vitest runs src-tauri tests under Vitest, so the Tauri config test cannot import bun:test.
Rejected: Fast-forward merge | main carried newer local commits not present on the memory branch.

Directive: Keep chat selection references, memory cards, open-target routes, and memory routes together when touching these files.
Tested: bun run check:desktop

Some memory-only project directories have no session JSONL metadata, so the previous label recovery still fell back to reversing sanitizePath(). That reverse mapping is lossy for Chinese characters, spaces, and punctuation, leaving paths rendered with repeated slashes. The memory API now performs a bounded filesystem-guided recovery: it walks only roots whose sanitized prefix can still match the project id and only descends through candidate directories that preserve that prefix match.
Constraint: Do not change the existing ~/.claude/projects/<sanitized>/memory storage layout.
Rejected: Full-home recursive search | too expensive and unnecessary because sanitizePath prefix matching gives a tight traversal boundary.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep project ids as opaque storage keys; recover display labels from real metadata or existing directories first.
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/memory.test.ts

The first project opener UI used generic code glyphs for every IDE, which made the menu visually noisy and did not match the native desktop expectation. This changes the macOS path to expose transparent PNG icons generated from each detected local .app bundle and renders them directly in the toolbar/menu, falling back to the existing glyph only when an icon cannot be loaded.
Constraint: Do not redistribute third-party IDE trademark assets in the app bundle.
Constraint: Keep icon detection local to already detected open targets and cache only runtime PNG results.
Rejected: Bundling downloaded IDE logos | creates asset maintenance and trademark redistribution risk.
Rejected: Adding simple-icons as a dependency | it is not a faithful desktop app icon source and still requires brand permission checks.

The CLI stores project directories with sanitizePath(), which intentionally replaces every non-alphanumeric byte with '-' for cross-platform safety. That storage key is lossy, so the desktop memory page must not treat it as the only source of display truth. The memory API now prefers the current cwd or the cwd/workDir/projectPath recorded in recent session JSONL files, and only falls back to the lossy reverse mapping when no metadata exists.
Constraint: Keep the existing ~/.claude/projects/<sanitized>/memory layout unchanged for CLI compatibility.
Rejected: Change sanitizePath to preserve Unicode | would break existing transcript and memory directory lookup semantics.

Desktop sessions need a fast local escape hatch that opens the same materialized cwd the agent is editing, without showing unavailable IDE choices or persisting detection state. This adds a local open-targets API with silent in-memory detection for common IDEs and platform file managers, then wires a compact Codex-style toolbar menu into the desktop TabBar for active session workdirs.
Constraint: The first version is local IDE/editor and Finder/Explorer/file-manager only, no terminal targets or IDE plugin integration.
Constraint: The opened path must come from the active session workDir so isolated worktrees open the actual agent editing surface.
Rejected: Persisting detected applications | detection is cheap and temporary state avoids stale app inventory.
Rejected: Rendering unavailable IDEs as disabled menu rows | the user asked to show only detected targets and fall back to Finder/Explorer when no IDE is available.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep this path session-workdir based; do not switch it to repository root without proving isolated worktree behavior.

The CLI already emits memory_saved events and stores Markdown memory files, but the desktop app had no usable surface for seeing or editing those writes. This adds a project memory API, a Settings memory editor, chat memory event cards, and routing from /memory or /context into the memory UI.
Constraint: Memory files live under Claude project storage and must remain plain Markdown editable by users.
Rejected: Only expose raw filesystem links | users need an in-app review and edit flow from chat.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep memory storage project-scoped and preserve unknown Markdown content when editing.

Desktop search results were visually misleading when many directories shared the same basename, because the UI emphasized the basename and the server ranking allowed deep basename matches to outrank direct path-prefix matches. This makes search rows show the insertable relative path and ranks direct path-prefix matches before unrelated same-name directories.
Constraint: Desktop @ file suggestions should match the CLI mental model for path search.
Rejected: Keep basename plus parent-path rows | it hides the distinction between src/, src/hooks/, and desktop/src in the primary text.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Preserve path-prefix ranking ahead of basename-only matches for directory searches.

Tested: bun run check:server
Tested: bun run check:desktop
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.

Not-tested: Native Windows/Linux manual UI smoke; path handling relies on cross-platform git/ripgrep wrappers and normalized relative paths.
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
Tested: bun test src/server/__tests__/sessions.test.ts -t batch-delete
Tested: bun run check:server
Tested: cd desktop && bun run check:desktop
Tested: browser UI smoke for group select, shift range select, delete confirmation, 7/30 day cleanup, Cmd+A filtered selection, and Escape exit
Not-tested: Live provider-backed session generation; this change covers session list management after sessions already exist
The previous fix compared the venv's pyvenv.cfg `home` field with the
custom interpreter's directory, but Python's venv module skips the
wrapping venv when the source interpreter is itself in a venv (conda /
pyenv / hand-built venvs — which is the common case). The recorded
`home` then points to the base Python install, not the user-provided
path, causing the comparison to permanently fail and the UI to keep
showing "venv not ready" even right after a successful rebuild.
Switch to a marker file (~/.claude/.runtime/venv-base-interpreter.txt)
that records the exact `config.pythonPath` used at venv creation time.
Status check compares it verbatim with the current config. Falls back
to "match if both empty" when the marker is missing, which preserves
behavior for legacy users who never set a custom path.

The dependency check ignored the custom Python path: it only verified
the global venv's stamp file, so switching to a fresh custom interpreter
still showed deps as installed even though the new interpreter's
environment was empty. Setup also reused the old venv built from a
different base interpreter.
Verify the existing venv via pyvenv.cfg's home field, but only when a
custom path is configured — users without a custom path keep the
original code path untouched, protecting existing installations.

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.
Tested: bun run check:desktop
Tested: bun run check:server
Tested: Browser verification for Token usage in English and Chinese locale date labels

Persist H5 access state in cc-haha managed settings, expose a narrow server API
for enable/disable/regenerate/verify flows, and keep token responses sanitized
so the raw secret is only returned at generation time.
Constraint: H5 config must live in ~/.claude/cc-haha/settings.json and preserve unknown fields
Rejected: Store raw token for later display | violates hash-only persistence requirement
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Do not move H5 settings into ~/.claude/settings.json or expose tokenHash through the API

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.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Preserve unknown Computer Use config fields and keep blank interpreter paths normalized to automatic detection.

CLI transcripts persist native worktree-state entries for resume, so the desktop git-info endpoint should treat that state as authoritative for worktree identity. Desktop launch metadata can be stale after placeholder cleanup or reopen, and should only fill gaps.
The displayed business branch still prefers the desktop launch branch because CLI originalBranch means the source checkout before worktree creation, not necessarily the selected base ref.
Constraint: CLI worktree-state carries runtime identity; Desktop repository metadata carries launch intent.
Rejected: Let desktop repository metadata override worktree-state | stale placeholder metadata can resurrect the wrong slug, path, or source cwd after reload.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Worktree identity fields should prefer CLI worktree-state; only branch display may prefer desktop launch intent.

Tested: cd desktop && bun run lint
Tested: git diff --check
Desktop sessions already persist repository launch metadata, but CLI worktree sessions also write native worktree-state entries to the JSONL transcript for resume. Relying only on desktop session-meta leaves reopened or older transcripts vulnerable to losing the footer worktree identity when in-memory state is gone.
This teaches SessionService to recover the latest CLI worktree-state entry and lets git-info use it as a fallback for worktree badge fields. Desktop repository metadata still wins when present because it carries the selected business branch, while the CLI state keeps reopened sessions stable.
Constraint: CLI records worktree state as transcript metadata, not only as cwd.
Rejected: Infer worktree identity only from .claude/worktrees path | path heuristics miss hook-based worktrees and do not carry original cwd or slug.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Prefer explicit transcript metadata over path guessing for worktree session identity.

The footer project chip previously kept showing only the source project and selected branch even after a session launched inside an isolated CLI worktree. That made an active worktree session look identical to a normal checkout, especially while agent tools were already operating under .claude/worktrees. The server now returns explicit worktree metadata from the session launch intent, and the desktop chip preserves the user-facing project and branch while appending the isolated worktree slug.
Constraint: CLI worktree branches are internal implementation details and should not replace the user-selected branch label.
Rejected: Show only the actual worktree git branch | it would expose worktree-desktop-* internals and make the business branch harder to read.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep normal checkout footer rendering unchanged; only add worktree identity when session metadata says isolation is enabled.

The chat footer previously read git-info from the persisted session file and refreshed only on tab changes. Repository launches can update the active CLI cwd after the composer has already rendered, so the footer could keep showing an older selected branch even while the running model was operating in the correct checkout.
Constraint: The active CLI process is the source of truth for a live session cwd
Rejected: Derive the footer branch only from persisted session metadata | metadata can lag behind startup and does not prove the current running cwd
