* fix(server): stop hiding GUI windows when opening external IDEs on Windows
Symptom: clicking the right-side 'Open in...' menu and picking VS Code or
Cursor on Windows starts the process (visible in Task Manager) but no
window ever appears. Repeated clicks pile up zombie processes which
eventually starves the system and makes the app feel hung.
Cause: defaultLaunch passed { detached: true, stdio: 'ignore',
windowsHide: true } to spawn. On Windows, windowsHide sets
STARTUPINFO.wShowWindow = SW_HIDE. For console-subsystem commands
(cmd.exe /c start ...) that hides the cmd flash, which is what we
wanted. But for GUI-subsystem executables (Code.exe, Cursor.exe,
explorer.exe, ...) Windows treats SW_HIDE as the initial nCmdShow
handed to the app's first ShowWindow() call, so the main window is
created and immediately hidden.
Fix: drop windowsHide. The brief cmd flash from the explorer
file-manager fallback (cmd.exe /c start "" path) is acceptable;
cmd /c start exits in milliseconds and is rarely visible.
Tested: server open-target tests 28/28 still pass (ran via
bun test src/server/__tests__/open-target-*.test.ts).
Spawn-option behavior is platform-specific and not unit-testable
without mocking node:child_process — verified by inspection against
Node.js docs and Windows STARTUPINFO semantics.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
* test(server): freeze defaultLaunch spawn options as a regression guard
Extracts the spawn options into a pure helper getDefaultLaunchSpawnOptions and adds 4 cases asserting (a) detached:true, (b) stdio:ignore, (c) windowsHide unset (the regression guard for the VS Code hidden-window bug fixed in the parent commit), (d) no extra fields silently changing spawn semantics.
Tested: 32/32 (28 previous open-target tests still green plus 4 new)

Code Council
A Claude Code build repaired from the source leaked from Anthropic's npm registry on 2026-03-31. Code Council is now primarily a desktop Claude Code workspace for macOS, Windows, and Linux: sessions, projects, branch / Worktree launch, right-side file changes, code diffs, permission review, provider setup, Computer Use, H5 remote access, IM integration, and scheduled tasks in one app.

Desktop Preview
The Code Council desktop app brings sessions, multi-project navigation, branch / Worktree controls, right-side file changes, code diffs, permission review, provider setup, and remote access into one graphical workspace for daily development flows beyond the terminal.

Install the Desktop App
- Download the macOS / Windows / Linux desktop installer from Releases.
- On first launch, configure your model provider, API key, and default model in Settings.
- This build is currently unsigned, so the first launch needs a one-time manual approval (clear quarantine on macOS, click "Run anyway" on Windows). See the desktop installation guide.
Run the CLI from Source
For users who want to debug the underlying CLI, server, or local development flow:
bun install
cp .env.example .env
./bin/claude-haha
See environment variables and global usage for more configuration options.
Desktop Highlights
- Multi-session workspace: tabs, project switching, terminal entry, and session history in one place.
- Branch / Worktree launch: choose a repository branch and decide whether to use the current working tree or an isolated Worktree.
- Right-side file changes: review changed files, added/removed lines, and current workspace state while chatting.
- Visual code changes: inspect edits, file writes, and diffs directly in the desktop app.
- Permission review: approve risky commands, tool calls, and model follow-up questions in the GUI.
- Multi-provider setup: configure Anthropic-compatible APIs, third-party models, WebSearch fallback, and local options.
- Computer Use: let the agent take screenshots, click, type, and control desktop apps after authorization.
- H5 remote access: open the current desktop session from a phone or another device with a one-time token.
- IM integration: chat, switch projects, and approve actions through Telegram / Feishu / WeChat / DingTalk.
- Scheduled tasks and usage stats: create planned tasks and track local token usage trends.
