* feat(chats): relocate managed chat worktrees via OPENCHAMBER_CHATS_DIR
Projectless-chat worktrees were hard-pinned to
<home>/.config/openchamber/chats: the UI joined the path client-side,
workspace checks allowed only the config root, and identification matched
the literal path segment. When the OpenCode server runs as a separate
user (UID-separated setups), that root is unreachable — every chat
session answered HTTP 500 (EACCES on the session directory).
The server now owns the chats root. OPENCHAMBER_CHATS_DIR relocates it
(default unchanged: <config root>/chats); /api/fs/home answers
{ home, chatsRoot }; fs workspace checks accept the managed chats root
next to the config root; the client resolves the root from the server
(per-runtime cached, warmed at bootstrap so sync classification sees it)
and falls back to the home join for older servers.
Refs #3130
* chore: trim added comments to local precedent
* fix: forward managedChatsRoot through feature-routes-runtime to registerFsRoutes
* fix(chats): await the root warm-up and keep the legacy chats root owned
Review feedback on #3135:
- bootstrapGlobal now awaits warmChatsRootDirectory, so synchronous
session classification never sees an empty root cache (relocated
sessions were grouped as project sessions when the session list
outran /api/fs/home).
- managedProjectRoots keeps the legacy <config root>/chats entry next to
OPENCHAMBER_CHATS_DIR, so memory ownership of existing chats survives
relocation.
* fix(chats): distinguish chats-root fetch failure from older servers
* fix(sync): rehydrate managed chat sessions after the chats root warms
* fix(fs): pass managed roots through the symlink and git-dirs path checks after the main merge
* docs: drop changelog edits; changelog is the maintainer's release-time work
* fix(chats): keep legacy chat directories deletable while the root is relocated
* fix(chats): resolve roots before cleanup and initial session loads
* test(chats): type runtime spies against actual SDK contracts

Removing a worktree archived its sessions one SDK call at a time and
then re-rendered the whole sidebar once per streamed session.updated
echo. On a worktree with 121 sessions that meant 14.8s of main-thread
work, 121 requests, and 328 localStorage writes.
- Add POST /api/openchamber/sessions/archive: validates a batch (max
500 ids, per-request archivedAt), archives sequentially, and reports
partial failures instead of dropping the batch. VS Code serves no
such route and answers 501; the shared UI then falls back to the
per-session path.
- Plan batches from the sessions this client actually holds, live
directory stores first, so worktree-only sessions still batch.
- Claim (id, archivedAt) pairs before the request and consume the
matching session.updated echoes, so the server's own confirmations
no longer fan out into 121 store publications. Runtime-scoped, TTL
30s, released on response or fallback; non-matching updates pass.
- Make the managed-chats persistence a real trailing debounce instead
of a 50ms throttle, so a burst of publications coalesces into one
localStorage write.
Benchmark (121 sessions, production build, real Chrome): 14785ms ->
~1030ms, long tasks 100 -> 1, global store publications 236 -> 1,
persistence writes 328 -> 3.
Create projectless chat sessions under a managed, date-scoped Chats directory and clean abandoned or deleted session folders.
Add Chats to sidebar state, startup cache, shared context, and Electron Mini Chat while keeping VS Code project-only. Resolve managed chat directories to one server-side memory owner and document the runtime contracts.
Improve OpenChamber responsiveness under large session workloads while fixing
cache, synchronization, and persistence correctness across runtimes, projects,
directories, and worktrees.
- prioritize selected and visible sessions during bootstrap and defer
non-critical enrichment work
- reduce redundant message loading, event processing, store publication, and
hidden sidebar work
- prevent stale session and message requests from overwriting newer
authoritative state
- preserve existing data when authoritative fetches fail instead of treating
failures as successful empty responses
- scope session materialization, messages, drafts, queues, todos, pins,
permissions, folders, tabs, Git state, and pull request data by runtime and
directory identity
- harden runtime switching, reconnect, cleanup, mutation reconciliation, and
persisted-state ordering
- preserve live subagent Task linkage when metadata arrives after an older
message request or while streaming parts are suspended
- coalesce overlapping tail refreshes without losing newer refresh demand
- improve cold-session loading by moving deferrable work out of the critical
bootstrap path
- isolate URL authentication, mobile credentials, native secrets, and other
runtime-owned state across endpoint changes
- bound long-lived caches and remove avoidable allocations from event and
rendering hot paths
- limit virtualization to archive collections where it improves rendering
without disrupting active sidebar layout
- stabilize session folders, pin ordering, expanded state, and persisted
sidebar behavior
- open skill files through the same secure editor and outside-workspace grant
flow used by file navigation, including worktree sessions
- expand regression coverage for stale completions, runtime collisions,
reconnect behavior, persistence races, authoritative empty results, and
subagent refresh ordering
- document the updated synchronization, cache ownership, performance, and
runtime-isolation invariants
