Refresh hints fired while setup commands run can cache a mid-creation
dirty snapshot; lifting the gate the moment bootstrap settles flashed
that stale snapshot until the forced fetch resolved. The gate now stays
down until the post-bootstrap status fetch completes.
Message metadata records the effective effort, inherited defaults
included. The history-restore effect re-applied it as an explicit
override and re-pinned it per session one render after every send, so
the picker still jumped from Default to the settings default despite the
send-time fix. Only an effort deviating from what the model would
inherit is restored as a choice; the preserve-manual-override branch
follows the same rule.
'New session in the current directory' callers (shortcut, menu, composer)
forward the current session's directory even when that session is a
chat. Its managed scratch directory names no project, but it counted as
an explicit project target, so a plus pressed inside a chat session
opened a project draft. Chat scratch overrides now resolve to a chat
draft.
A freshly created worktree transiently looks dirty until its setup
commands and initial git reset finish. The work status panel showed
those files as changes on the branch and the draft's worktree dropdown
flashed its dirty warning, and both then froze on that state because
nothing refetched after bootstrap. Make the bootstrap state (the
existing authority on unfinished creation) subscribable, suppress the
dirty probe and the changed-files row while it is pending, and force one
status fetch when it settles so the lifted gate shows the reset tree.
Sending recorded the effective variant - inherited settings/agent
defaults included - as the session's explicit per-session choice, so the
picker jumped from Default to the inherited effort right after the send
and the session stopped following later default changes. Record only an
explicit picker override when the send reflects the live selection;
sends carrying a captured configuration for another session keep their
captured variant.
The reset-on-open effect also depended on generateUniqueSlug, which is
derived from the available-worktree list, so a worktree appearing or
disappearing while the dialog was open wiped the form (branch name,
linked issue). Initialize once per open via a ref guard, pinned by a
behavior test. Also tightens CreateWorktreeArgs/GitHub selection typing
in place of type assertions.
The explicit-Default behavior from 77d756aeb (Default = send no effort)
was based on a misdiagnosis: the tester did not know a default effort was
configured in settings, so the settings default applying under Default is
the intended behavior, not a bug. Restores the pre-fix effort resolution,
tests, and documentation.
* refactor(worktrees): fetch source once during creation
* fix(worktrees): remove worktrees in background
* fix(worktrees): show background removal progress
* fix(worktrees): name the worktree in removal toasts
* feat(worktrees): fetch remote source branch before worktree creation
New worktrees based on a local branch that is behind its upstream now
fetch first and branch from the remote-tracking ref, so they are not
born stale. A global setting (on by default) in Settings > Behavior
controls this, and fetch failures toast a warning and fall back to
local state instead of blocking creation.
* fix(worktrees): wire fetch-source toggle to store and honor failed runtime fetches
The Behavior toggle only persisted the setting; the consumer reads the
config store at creation time, so a just-toggled-off setting kept
fetching until the next hydration. Update the store optimistically on
toggle and on page load, and roll it back when the save fails.
The VS Code runtime bridge resolves git fetches with { success: false }
instead of throwing, which the consumer read as success and silently
based the worktree on the stale remote ref. Treat any non-success
result as a failed fetch: warn and fall back to local state, matching
the web/desktop/mobile path.
* fix(worktrees): stop new remote-based worktrees from tracking the base branch
Creating a worktree with a remote start ref made git auto-track the
base branch (branch.autoSetupMerge), so with the new remote fetch every
behind-root worktree was born with upstream origin/<base> and plain
git push refused under push.default=simple.
The new branch's own upstream does not exist until its first push, and
the bootstrap deliberately refuses to write tracking config for refs
that were never fetched, so --set-upstream-to cannot re-point it.
Suppress the auto-track with --no-track on new-mode creation from a
remote ref: the branch ships with no upstream, matching the behavior
before the remote fetch until the first push sets it. Explicit
upstream keys now also win over the remote start ref inference,
aligning the create path with the validate path and the VS Code
runtime.
* fix(worktrees): keep the pre-create remote ref refresh soft
The client fetch and the server's pre-create fetchRemoteBranchRef both
refresh the same branch, and the second fetch throws on failure — so a
connection dropped between the two turned the promised soft fallback
into a rejected creation even though the remote-tracking ref was
already available locally.
The refresh is now best-effort when the ref exists locally (creation
proceeds from it) and still mandatory when the ref was never fetched,
preserving the materialization behavior for remote-only branches.
Applied to both the web server and the VS Code runtime.
* chore: ignore the .openchamber app runtime state directory
Startup warm-up, opening the switcher and the refresh button can all probe at
once, and a relay host working through tunnel retries takes an order of
magnitude longer than a loopback one — so a slow older run landed last and
replaced a fresh "ok" with its own stale "unreachable". Each host now records
which run owns its status; a status from the switch flow outranks any probe
still running for it.
Each relay attempt is also capped by what is left of the 15s budget rather than
the full per-request timeout, so an attempt started just under the deadline can
no longer run the whole 8s past it.
MCP status and skills were cleared on a switch but their in-flight requests
were not, so a response for the previous instance could still write itself over
the new one's — the same race the quota store already guards. Both now carry a
generation.
Usage also claimed an instance as loaded before it had answered, so a load that
failed on a cold or briefly unreachable instance was never attempted again, and
the previous instance's display mode and provider selection survived a switch —
which decided what the new instance was even asked for.
The switcher held reachability in component state and replaced the whole map at
the end of a probe run. It ran once per open before the config had loaded — with
Local as the only host — so that pass wiped every other instance's status and
each open started on "Checking", including for the instance the app was
connected to and actively talking to.
Statuses move to their own module: startup warms them so the switcher opens on
real values, a re-probe replaces each value in place as it lands rather than
blanking them first, and stale entries are dropped against the loaded config
instead of a partial host list. The connected instance never reads "Checking" —
the live connection already answers what the probe would ask.
The tunnel rejects everything waiting on its channel the moment one connect
attempt fails, even though it has already scheduled the next one with backoff.
That is right for app traffic, which retries for itself, but it made the
one-shot probe report a durable red "Unreachable" for a host that answers when
the user presses refresh a second later — a cold start is exactly when that
first attempt loses.
The probe now spans the tunnel's own reconnects within a 15s budget, and ends
immediately on a terminal tunnel state (auth failed, duplicate client, limit),
which waiting cannot resolve.
Linear and GitHub logins, quotas, MCP status, skills and agent memory are
served by whichever instance is connected, but each was cached globally or
by directory alone — which two instances can share. Switching instances left
the previous instance's answers on screen and its Linear login usable against
a runtime that has no Linear.
Reset them all through runtimeEndpointReset, each store guarding its in-flight
requests with a generation so a response for the previous instance cannot land
in the new one. The Linear team filter is now persisted per instance: a team
belongs to one workspace, so carrying it across filtered the new instance's
issue list down to nothing.
Usage also waits for the instance to report itself initialised before loading.
Providers report themselves as configured only once the instance can read their
credentials, so a fetch fired at mount answered "nothing configured" for every
provider and cached it — which is why Usage stayed missing from the work-status
panel until Settings -> Usage forced a fresh fetch.
* feat(ui): block branch switches on dirty trees
* feat(ui): show unpushed commits in git branch selector
* feat(ui): show recent branches in git selector
* fix(ui): persist recent branch status
* feat(ui): add mobile branch picker
* fix(ui): guard mobile branch checkout
* fix(i18n): restore Turkish git empty state labels
* feat(ui): flag dirty draft directories on the branch selector
Replaces the draft dirty-directory banner with an indicator on the branch
selector: a warning icon plus a hover tooltip that opens by itself for five
seconds when the dirty state first appears, then stays hover-only. The copy
states the situation and the options (commit or worktree) without prescribing
either.
* feat(ui): optional push in the dirty branch switch dialog
Commit-and-switch gains an opt-in "Push after commit" checkbox. When the
push fails the commit stands but the switch is cancelled with an explicit
toast, so the user is never moved off a branch without knowing its push did
not happen. Without the checkbox the toast states the commit is local only.
* fix(i18n): align dirty-directory copy across locales
* fix(a11y): name the unpushed-commit badge in the branch picker
The badge showed a bare arrow and number with no accessible name or tooltip.
Both the desktop recents list and the mobile picker now carry a localized
"N commits not pushed" title and aria-label.
* fix(mobile): push before switching dirty branches
Honor the dirty-switch dialog's push option on the mobile Changes surface.
A failed push leaves the new commit on its source branch, refreshes state, and
cancels checkout. Mobile branch selection now also shows the existing dirty
switch notice.

Every updateDesktopSettings PUT replays the server's full settings
document as an openchamber:settings-synced event, and the theme listener
adopted it unconditionally - so switching sessions across directories
(any lastDirectory/activeProjectId write) could flip the theme to
whatever the server document held at that moment. A bootstrap GET with
missing theme fields made it worse: materializeAuthoritativeUiSettings
invented useSystemTheme + openchamber defaults and the persist effect
wrote them back to the server and the scoped localStorage entry.
Theme is now adopted only from bootstrap-grade syncs (the renamed
bootstrap flag, formerly adoptWorkspace), missing fields mean 'not set'
and keep the current preference, and the materializer no longer invents
theme defaults. Cross-window same-instance theme sync still rides the
scoped-key storage event; runtime endpoint switches still adopt the new
instance's server theme.
Closes the 'theme flashes to OpenChamber when switching sessions' report;
same family as the pre-#2897 'color mode forced to light' symptom.
Keeps idle readers from snapping back to the end while rows re-wrap

Review comments, quotes, terminal selections and annotations were consumed
at send and never put back, so reverting pulled the message into the

Clarify chat session switching is visually stable
Note GitHub account connection moved to Settings → Integrations
Update VS Code changelog wording for session switching
Adds a shared sidebar tooltip provider with delayed open and instant close behavior
Removes per-button tooltip delays so sidebar actions feel more consistent
Aligns session sidebar hover interactions with the opencode-style tooltip experience
Switching sessions moved the conversation on screen before the swap: the
composer and the status chip followed the live selection and re-shaped a
commit ahead of the timeline, so the pinned outgoing chat jumped; and the
reveal effect re-ran for the outgoing session when its waited flag flipped,
hiding it a few frames before the next one mounted. The chat column now
reads one deferred session, and the reveal runs once per opened session.
The pull-request rail icon now appears only while GitHub is connected
(OAuth or gh CLI), like Linear; Linear sits after the walkthrough in the
default rail order. The GitHub account avatar and switcher leave the
header for the pull-request panel, where the walkthrough, refresh, and
account controls share one row and one height, and the account stays
visible on the panel's empty state. A manual refresh keeps its spinner on
screen long enough to read as work done.
GitHub sign-in moves from Settings → Git to Settings → Integrations →
Built-in integrations as a card before Linear; search and the connect
buttons follow it.
The scoped theme entry is now parsed by one boundary parser with a
stated invariant instead of ad hoc typeof narrowing, and the runtime
keys that mean "no instance connected" live next to the code that
produces them so a new sentinel cannot miss the theme-storage guard.
Every project-config write re-serialized normalized tasks, so a server
that shares the config file but predates a field (goal, auto-accept)
stripped it the first time any task ran. Untouched tasks now go back to
disk verbatim, a state update swaps only `state`, and only a deliberately
replaced task is serialized from the normalized shape.
