Switching sessions ran as one synchronous commit: sidebar highlight, URL,
a full timeline remount with markdown re-parse, and around nine requests,
so nothing changed on screen for 150-250ms after the click.
- ChatContainer swaps the timeline on a deferred copy of the selection, so
the active row, URL, and tab commit first and the timeline renders behind
them; selection policy keeps reading the live store value.
- The message fetch starts before the selection is published.
- Sidebar rows stop re-rendering on a project switch: directory-scoped sync
hooks read the runtime context and a subscribable current-directory source
instead of the directory-bearing context; the grouping builder reads git
branches through a ref and section caches key the branches they use;
descendant ids are keyed by content. Rows per switch went from 73 to 8.
- Markdown skips the async re-render when the settled cached blocks are
already painted, and mounts synchronously once its lazy module is loaded;
the module is preloaded at boot.
- A timeline reveal gate holds a freshly opened session at opacity 0 while
any provisional markdown paint catches up (250ms cap), then fades the whole
timeline in once, so text, tools, and recap appear together.
- Switch fan-out trimmed: knowledge summary deduped, MCP status refreshed only
when stale, non-repo directories cached by the git repo check, OpenChamber
defaults cached briefly, agent memory reused for the same project, goal
text cached, PWA manifest rebuilt after the switch settles.
- Header tabs snap into the active state and keep the title at the same
height in both states.
- Prefetch on row press; composer focus moved off the commit.
`bun run profile:switch` records ack/content latency, longest task, and
requests per switch, cold and warm, and compares runs against a baseline.
Measured warm switch: ack 228ms to about 40-60ms, content 228ms to about
100-120ms.
Vendor the anti-slop Oxlint plugin at tools/oxlint/anti-slop and register it
in oxlint.config.ts, with Oxlint's own rule categories disabled so ESLint
stays the general-purpose linter.
Add scripts/anti-slop.mjs (bun run deslop) mirroring the React Doctor batch
interface: next-batch, check-batch, active, release, top, file. Batch handoff
directories now double as file claims shared across clones via
~/.openchamber/maintenance-claims, so concurrent maintenance batches from
either pipeline never select the same file.
Harden both scheduled maintenance flows: stop on a dirty worktree, stop on
NO BATCH AVAILABLE, validate per package instead of workspace-wide, and pin
react-doctor to 0.9.12. The anti-slop task command documents concrete
good and bad fixes and forbids laundering types to satisfy a rule.

* test: drop two tests that assert on copies of the code
mainLayoutMobileSidebarMount read MainLayout.tsx and SessionSidebar.tsx as
strings and asserted on source substrings down to exact indentation, so it
failed on formatting rather than behaviour. useProjectSessionSelection.test
reimplemented the hook's visitNodes logic inside the test file and asserted
against that copy, so it could not observe the hook at all.

* test: repair sync suites that had rotted while unrunnable
No runner executed packages/ui, so these drifted from the source unnoticed:
two imported helpers that are no longer exported, one directory-store stub
predated the session field routeMessage reads, and the WebSocket fake missed
the mandatory url-token mint plus the close event the socket wrapper reads.

* test: stop the web suite failing on timeouts and a hand-copied mock
The Git suites drive a real git binary, so the 5s default made a valid suite
fail differently per run. The gitApiHttp mock listed ~70 export names by hand
and fell behind the source; it now derives every stub from the real module,
which the added shared-UI aliases make resolvable.

* test: run every suite from one command and in CI
packages/ui (232 files) and packages/vscode (22) had no test script at all, CI
ran neither, and 9 vscode files could never run because Node cannot resolve
their extensionless TypeScript imports. Three electron files sat outside every
script list, one of them importing vitest, which that package does not depend
on. A runner gives each file its own process, since these suites keep
module-level singletons and fail by load order when sharing one.

* chore: delete a superseded repro harness and a completed plan
The issue-2638 harness needed lsof, overrode process.platform and spawned real
servers, and nothing referenced it; event-stream/rebind.test.js now covers the
same hub-pinned-to-the-old-port behaviour. The pairing v2 plan described relay
and the pairing UI as out of scope, both of which shipped.

* docs: point at the theme tools and record the github barrel invariant
convert-vscode-theme and harmonize-theme were referenced nowhere, so the
theme-authoring reference now names them. The github barrel is loaded through
await import('./index.js') and destructured per route, which no static report
can see; documenting that is what stops the next cleanup from deleting it.

* test: repair merge drift in bridge and route-registry mocks
upstream/main gained upsertProviderConfig on bridge-system-runtime and a
PATCH scheduled-task route after this branch forked. Their test doubles
were never updated to match:
- bridge-system-runtime.test.js: add upsertProviderConfig to the
opencodeConfig mock so the import resolves.
- sse-routes.test.js: add app.patch to the route registry stub.

Adds an Electron install check that repairs incomplete or wrong-architecture binaries
Runs the check during root postinstall and before electron dev startup
Adds tests and docs for the new ensure:electron workflow
Adds `bun run profile:animation`: it serves an isolated fixture and measures
each animation variant directly, so comparing techniques takes seconds instead
of an application rebuild plus a streamed response.
The result is unambiguous and does not vary with element count, measured from 1
to 32: transform, opacity and filter cost zero extra style recalculations, while
the individual rotate property, background-position, border-color and box-shadow
each recalculate style 60 times a second, and geometry properties add layout on
top. Notably `rotate: 360deg` is not a cheap synonym for
`transform: rotate(360deg)`, and will-change, wrapper elements, containment and
stepped timing do not make a non-composited property cheap.
`scripts/perf/DOCUMENTATION.md` documents all four capture commands, how to
stand up a production build to measure against, how to read the artifacts, the
validity guarantees the scripts enforce, and the methodology rules, so this can
be handed to an agent as the entry point for measuring performance. It is linked
from the root guide's documentation anchors.
The theme skill gains an animation contract carrying the measured table, and the
performance skill points at the tooling documentation.
Adds `bun run profile:session`: creates a session, opens it in a real
browser, dispatches a prompt through the supported `openchamber session` CLI,
and records until the session reports itself idle. No input is synthesised, so
everything captured is the app reacting to its own event stream.
Streaming is judged by responsiveness rather than totals, so the report leads
with the long-task distribution, style recalculation and layout rates, frame
production, and the application's own stream counters.
Two failure modes are detected rather than reported as clean results. A session
belonging to a directory the browser is not viewing renders nothing and
produces a perfectly quiet profile, so the run verifies both new message
elements in the DOM and message-list render counters. And `RunTask` is only
emitted under the disabled-by-default timeline category, so a capture without
it reports zero long tasks; the missing-task case is now called out instead of
being shown as zero.
Metric helpers are shared with the idle profiler.
Adds `bun run profile:idle`: a fully unattended capture of what OpenChamber
does while nobody interacts with it. It reports main-thread busy time, style
recalculation and layout rates, DOM node and listener growth, heap trajectory,
a CPU sampling profile, and per-call-site attribution of timer, animation
frame, and observer work.
Chrome throttles timers and stops producing frames for occluded or backgrounded
windows, which silently reports an idle-looking renderer regardless of what the
page schedules. Launch flags now disable that throttling, and every run measures
frame liveness so a throttled capture is reported as a warning rather than as a
clean result.
CDP launch and client code is shared with the existing browser profiler.
Terminal creation no longer waits for the Ghostty viewport to report its
size: it starts the PTY immediately with a container/font-derived
provisional size (falling back to 80x24), then resizes once the real
viewport dimensions are known, with a dedupe guard while sizing settles.
Starting the shell earlier means it can emit device/theme queries before
a browser terminal is attached to answer them, so the server now answers
primary device attribute queries itself (Fish blocks ~10s on this at
startup) and bun-pty buffers output emitted before a data subscriber
attaches. Also fixes a few WebSocket transport reconnect races surfaced
by session creation now overlapping renderer setup.
Adds `mobile:sim:dev` / `sim:dev` to build, install, launch, and stream the iOS simulator in one command
Updates mobile docs and serve-sim guidance with the new workflow and correct preview URL behavior
Bumps `serve-sim` to a newer version
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
Updates the SDK dependency across web, UI, and VS Code packages.
Refreshes the lockfile and package versions to match the release.
Adds unreleased changelog notes for the current set of user-facing changes.
Replace the legacy terminal flow with a shared authenticated WebSocket
runtime used across web, desktop, relay, and mobile surfaces.
- introduce the v3 terminal protocol with scoped attachments, snapshots,
ordered output, bounded replay history, reconnects, and explicit lifecycle
- harden PTY creation, restart, resize, close, force-kill, idle cleanup,
shell selection, login mode, environment sanitization, and appearance sync
- add runtime-aware terminal APIs with relay authentication and Electron parity
- add a fullscreen mobile terminal workspace with touch scrolling,
long-press selection, safe-area controls, quick keys, and Ctrl/Alt input
- add terminal selection attachments, preview detection, project actions,
shell settings, and localized UI
- harden Ghostty rendering, resize recovery, Unicode handling, block
characters, line height, and stale-row behavior
- remove the obsolete terminal SSE path and update reverse-proxy guidance
- expand terminal runtime, transport, input, selection, and store coverage
- avoid duplicate web builds when preparing mobile assets in root CI builds
Changelog leads with the private relay and the native mobile apps (TestFlight
beta + Android APK links), followed by pairing v2 and the device management,
desktop multi-transport, and chat items; VS Code changelog gets the shared
chat-render entries.
