Trace is a low-frequency diagnostic feature, so its entry points no
longer sit in primary chrome:
- Remove the Trace nav item above the session list in the sidebar
- Remove the trace open/open-window buttons from the session header
- Add a Trace tab in Settings between Token usage and Diagnostics,
embedding the existing TraceList page full-bleed
- Add settings.tab.trace and drop unused sidebar.traces across locales

The sidebar title area also needs to participate in Electron's CSS app-region chrome. Mark only the sidebar title/header region as draggable and keep the full sidebar body out of the drag region so session rows, search controls, and project actions remain normal interactions.
Constraint: Electron window dragging is driven by CSS app-region regions after the migration
Rejected: Keep the sidebar-wide startDragging mouse handler | Electron does not use that as the active drag path and it misses the left title gap
Confidence: high

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

This reverts commit 1b52da3587325715f06948d5d526f71b00c7d9fb.
The session parent-child tree display in sidebar is visually unappealing
and unnecessary. The branch button behavior during AI response is also
intentional - users should not switch branches mid-conversation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix branch button hidden when AI is responding by decoupling
branchActionsDisabled from chatState (MessageList.tsx)
- Add sourceSessionId/sourceMessageId to SessionListItem type
(both server and desktop)
- Scan forkedFrom in listSessions to expose parent-child relationships
- Preserve sourceSessionId/sourceMessageId in branchSession optimistic store
- Add buildSessionTree utility for tree-flattened session list with
depth and isLastChild markers
- Render forked sessions indented with GitBranch icon in sidebar
- Add comprehensive tests (187 total: 81 desktop + 106 server)

Multiple desktop sessions can run at the same time, so navigation surfaces need a compact shared signal instead of making users open each conversation to check progress. The sidebar and tab bar now derive running state from both persisted tab status and live chat state, while session rows keep worktree and updated-time metadata aligned on the right.
Constraint: Reuse existing tab/chat state without changing session persistence or server APIs
Rejected: Add another session status field | duplicated state would drift from chatStore and tabStore
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep sidebar and tab running indicators sourced from the same state rules

Bring back the narrow, previously validated sidebar recovery and Windows x64 sidecar compatibility fixes that were present on worktree branches but absent from the canonical local main checkout. The broader worktree branch is intentionally not merged because it would replay unrelated history and risk dropping current main work.
Constraint: The local main worktree already contains unrelated Settings and portable storage edits, so only the recovery hunks are staged.
Rejected: Merge 1506086927/main wholesale | its history includes broad rollback/replay commits that would remove current main changes.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Recover future worktree fixes by cherry-picking or staging narrow hunks; do not merge drifted worktree branches wholesale.
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- --run src/components/layout/Sidebar.test.tsx scripts/build-sidecars.test.ts
Not-tested: Full bun run verify due unrelated dirty Settings/portable-storage worktree changes.
The sidebar now groups conversations by project, so the embedded project picker in the search box duplicated the main navigation model and hid state inside a compact icon. Remove that picker and its store state, leaving search as plain text filtering and keeping the project header menu focused on organization and sorting.
The archive-all entry was also hidden because a broad destructive action does not belong in the lightweight project menu.
Constraint: Project grouping is now the primary project navigation surface.
Rejected: Keep the embedded project picker hidden in place | it would leave dead filtering state and a stale recovery path.
Rejected: Keep archive-all in the header menu | broad destructive actions are too risky for this surface.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not reintroduce broad session deletion or hidden project filters into the sidebar header without a dedicated reviewed management flow.

The session sidebar already uses project grouping, so the change adds header-level project actions instead of replacing project row controls. Sorting and organization choices are persisted through the existing desktop UI preferences file and mirrored into local cache for startup continuity.
Constraint: Keep the existing project tree, drag ordering, pinning, hiding, and Finder project-row actions intact.
Rejected: Replacing project row actions with the header menu | row-level Finder and per-project session actions are still useful and already covered by tests.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate

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.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep future sidebar grouping keyed by projectRoot before projectPath so isolated worktrees stay under their source repository.

Memory tool activity inherited the global warm brand treatment, which made the new desktop memory surface feel detached from white and dark themes. The component now uses memory-specific tokens with a quieter teal family, and the sidebar settings dock is made opaque so scrolling sessions cannot show through it.
Constraint: Desktop memory activity must remain readable across light, white, and dark themes without reusing the classic warm brand surface
Rejected: Keep using color-mix with --color-brand | preserves the original warm tint mismatch in white theme
Confidence: high

Desktop users can receive new sessions from IM adapters or scheduled tasks while the app stays open. The sidebar now refreshes on mount, visible focus, and a low-frequency visible-only interval, with a manual refresh control and in-flight request dedupe so the fix does not create avoidable polling pressure.
Constraint: Sessions can be created outside the desktop process by IM and scheduler entrypoints
Rejected: WebSocket push for this patch | broader server contract change than needed for the reported stale list
Confidence: high

The previous batch selection state let adjacent selected sessions visually merge into a single block. This keeps the existing row structure but adds per-row spacing, a transparent baseline border, and a subtle selected-row shadow so the selection is easier to read without changing behavior.
Constraint: Keep the change local to the desktop sidebar and avoid new dependencies.
Rejected: Add global sidebar CSS tokens | unnecessary for this small component-level state and harder for changed-line coverage.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep batch selection spacing on the row wrapper so adjacent selected rows remain visually separated.
Tested: bun run verify
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.
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test src/components/layout/Sidebar.test.tsx

Not-tested: Manual desktop click-through after removing the buttons.
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

H5 browser use needs to keep local desktop WebUI testing open while giving remote phones a usable chat-first surface. This change scopes browser auth by origin and target host, hides non-chat desktop chrome on H5 mobile, compacts the empty-session composer, and unifies mobile selectors behind a full-width bottom sheet with an explicit close action.
Constraint: Local browser development may bypass H5 auth only for loopback or private LAN server hosts; public or remote hosts still require an H5 token.
Constraint: Mobile H5 scope is chat-first; settings and scheduled-task surfaces stay hidden instead of fully redesigned.
Rejected: Reuse desktop popovers on mobile | hover/anchored dropdown behavior leaves key actions hard to dismiss and cramped on narrow screens.
Rejected: Let any localhost origin bypass remote auth | it would let arbitrary local pages access public H5 servers without a token.

The browser H5 surface now switches to a phone-oriented shell: the sidebar becomes a closed-by-default drawer, chat stays primary, workspace and terminal panels stay off the mobile chat surface, composer controls use larger touch targets, and mobile menus avoid desktop-only widths and keyboard hints. Desktop and Tauri sidebar behavior remain on the existing store-driven path.
Constraint: H5 is personal/team browser access layered on the existing desktop web UI, so the normal desktop app must keep its current layout behavior.
Rejected: Share the global sidebarOpen default for mobile first paint | it can flash the drawer open before effects run on a phone.

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

Large desktop histories were making session discovery parse every JSONL
before pagination, while automatic title updates could still overwrite
manual names during resumed sessions. This keeps listing bounded to the
requested page, preserves custom titles, and blocks deleted placeholder
sessions from being recreated by prewarm startup.
Constraint: Desktop session storage remains JSONL-compatible with the CLI
Rejected: Virtualize the sidebar in this patch | does not fix backend JSONL parsing cost
Rejected: Disable title generation globally | would regress useful titles for unnamed sessions

Workspace file preview is a local desktop surface, so image files should not be blocked by the text preview byte cap. Large text files now return a bounded preview instead of an unusable too-large state, while binary files remain explicitly unsupported.

The desktop terminal already supported independent PTY sessions, but it only lived inside settings. This change promotes it to a first-class tab workflow so users can open multiple host terminals without leaving the chat-oriented desktop layout.
Constraint: Tauri terminal sessions are process-backed and must stay mounted while switching tabs.
Rejected: Reuse the settings terminal as a navigated page only | it cannot support multiple independent terminal tabs.

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 settings and sidebar still had deletion flows that either used browser-native confirms or deleted immediately. This change consolidates destructive confirmations behind a shared dialog component, applies it to provider deletion, plugin uninstall, adapter unbind, and sidebar session deletion, and adds regression coverage so delete actions require an explicit second confirmation before mutating state.
Constraint: Other in-progress desktop work in the tree had to stay out of this commit
Constraint: Existing MCP and task confirmations needed to keep their current behavior
Rejected: Leave confirmations embedded per-page with browser dialogs | inconsistent UX and easy to regress
Rejected: Add confirmations only to provider deletion | leaves other destructive desktop flows unsafe
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Any new desktop delete, uninstall, or unbind action should use the shared ConfirmDialog instead of browser-native dialogs or one-click deletion
Tested: bun run test src/components/layout/Sidebar.test.tsx src/__tests__/generalSettings.test.tsx; bun run lint
Not-tested: Manual desktop click-through of every destructive action after this refactor
The project filter and session search were competing for the same narrow vertical lane in the desktop sidebar. This change merges them into a single search surface, keeps project scoping available through an embedded trigger, and trims the surrounding control chrome so the sidebar reads like one cohesive tool instead of stacked widgets.
Constraint: Sidebar filtering behavior and existing project dropdown logic had to remain intact
Constraint: This commit must exclude unrelated in-progress desktop and server changes in the worktree
Rejected: Keep separate project and search controls with smaller spacing | still wastes vertical space and keeps the visual split
Rejected: Move project filtering into a second modal flow | adds friction to a frequent navigation task
Confidence: high

Not-tested: Manual dark-theme screenshot pass after the final integrated layout change
The desktop UI was still rendering the old JPG preview asset, so the empty
state, sidebar, and settings pages continued to show the legacy glow-backed
image even after the packaged app icon was corrected. This switches those UI
surfaces to a PNG generated from the current canonical app icon source so the
in-app preview matches the shipped icon treatment.
Constraint: The desktop UI still referenced a legacy JPG asset with the removed outer glow background
Constraint: There are unrelated staged changes in the worktree, so this commit must stay file-scoped
Rejected: Leave the UI on the JPG asset | keeps showing a stale icon treatment after the packaging fix
Rejected: Revert the packaged icon to match the old JPG | would reintroduce the original square-background problem
Confidence: high

Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep desktop/public/app-icon.png in sync with desktop/src-tauri/app-icon.svg when the app icon changes
Tested: desktop bun run lint; desktop bun run test
Not-tested: Manual visual pass in the running desktop app after rebuilding the frontend bundle
The sidebar project filter had regressed to lossy projectPath strings, so the
UI showed broken folder-name fragments and the dropdown could not match the
richer project chooser used in session creation. This switches the sidebar back
to recent-project metadata, renders the filter menu through a portal, and keeps
session filtering behavior unchanged while restoring readable labels and paths.
Constraint: Sidebar filtering still needs to target existing session projectPath values without migrating store shape
Constraint: The desktop sidebar dropdown must escape local stacking and overflow constraints to render reliably
Rejected: Keep deriving labels from sanitized projectPath strings | lost repo names and full paths, causing misleading project choices
Rejected: Rebuild sessionStore around recent-project objects in this fix | broader state migration than needed for the regression
Confidence: high

The desktop shell now owns sidebar collapse state, the collapsed rail keeps a
visible recovery affordance, and keyboard search expands the sidebar before
focusing. The UI work also smooths the width transition so the main chat area
can take over without the previous abrupt cutover.
Constraint: The desktop app must keep a recovery path visible in narrow layouts on macOS and Windows
Constraint: Existing sidebar behavior needed regression coverage before further UI work
Rejected: Fully hide the sidebar at 0 width | recovery affordance became too fragile for this iteration
Rejected: Keep boxed restore controls in the collapsed rail | visually heavy and easy to misplace
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep the collapsed rail width and the inner sidebar panel width in sync or expand controls will be clipped again

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
Rejected: Unify EmptySession and ChatInput into one full component now | higher regression risk for normal chat interactions than a visual-only hero variant
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate

This introduces a persisted light/dark appearance setting, maps the desktop shell onto semantic theme tokens, and reworks the highest-traffic chat/settings surfaces so the new dark mode is usable without regressing the original light theme.
The same pass tightens markdown rendering for chat replies by improving inline code, table overflow handling, and safe external-link behavior so dark-mode content stays legible in real conversations.
Constraint: Preserve the existing light theme while adding a user-selectable dark theme in Settings > General
Constraint: Avoid introducing new dependencies for styling or markdown handling
Rejected: Replacing the light palette with a single dual-purpose palette | would risk broad visual regressions across the existing desktop UI
Rejected: Implementing dark mode only for shell chrome | leaves chat markdown, diffs, and permission flows visually broken
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: New desktop UI should use semantic theme variables instead of hard-coded color literals so both themes stay aligned
Tested: bun run lint; bun run test; bun run build; browser review of theme switching, provider/permission states, and chat surfaces

Add a lightweight custom i18n system supporting English (default)
and Chinese, with a language switcher in Settings > General.
All 35+ UI components internationalized with ~270 translation keys,
including 189 Chinese spinner verbs and server error code mapping.
- Add Tauri sidecar architecture: Rust shell spawns claude-server binary,
dynamic port allocation, health-check wait loop, graceful shutdown
- Fix CORS middleware to accept `tauri://localhost` and `https://tauri.localhost`
origins from Tauri WebView, and add CORS headers to /health endpoint
- Enable native macOS window decorations (traffic lights) with Overlay title bar,
add data-tauri-drag-region on sidebar for window dragging
- Conditionally apply desktop-only padding (44px for traffic lights) vs web (12px)
- Generate brand identity: light-background app icon, horizontal logo, full icon
set (icns/ico/png) for Tauri bundle
- Add brand mark + GitHub link in sidebar, replace mascot SVG with app icon
in EmptySession page
- Update README (zh/en) and docs hero image with new branding
- Add sidecar build scripts and launcher entry points
- Gitignore Rust target/, Tauri gen/, and brand-assets candidates

Remove the separate Tasks sidebar page (wrong concept — was showing
scheduled tasks). Instead, display CLI task progress as a sticky bar
at the bottom of the active session, matching the official desktop app
behavior. Tasks are refreshed in real-time by detecting TaskCreate/
TaskUpdate tool_result messages over WebSocket.

- Settings: new Providers tab with full CRUD, activation, and connectivity
test; Model tab shows active provider name; General tab simplified
- Tasks: new CLI Tasks page displaying task lists from ~/.claude/tasks/
with status, owner, and dependency (blocks/blockedBy) visualization
- NewTaskModal: add Advanced options (model, permission mode, working dir)
- Backend: fix TaskService to parse CLI V2 task format; extend /api/tasks
with /lists endpoint for grouped queries
- Fix ModelInfo.context type from number to string

Replace project-grouped session list with a flat time-grouped layout
(Today / Yesterday / Last 7 days / Last 30 days / Older) matching
the original Claude Code desktop design. Add ProjectFilter component
with multi-select dropdown for filtering by project. Deduplicate
sessions by ID in the store to fix duplicate-key React errors caused
by the same session appearing across multiple project directories.

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)
