* feat: add Cloudflare Tunnel settings for desktop app
Add a 'Remote Tunnel' section in Settings (desktop-only) that lets users
start/stop a Cloudflare quick tunnel on demand, with auto-generated
password protection and a QR code for easy mobile access.
- Server: 4 new API endpoints (check/status/start/stop) reusing the
existing cloudflare-tunnel module
- UI: TunnelSettings component with full state machine
(checking → idle/not-available → starting → active → stopping)
- QR code rendered via the qrcode package for in-app display
- Hidden from VS Code extension (desktop/web only)
* fix: use ?token= instead of ?p= in tunnel password URLs
REST API endpoints were building passwordUrl with ?p=<token> but
SessionAuthGate reads the ?token= query param, causing QR code
auto-login to fail — the password was never extracted from the URL.
Standardize all three tunnel URL construction sites to use ?token=
so scanning the QR code correctly pre-fills and submits the password.
* feat: secure remote tunnel access with one-time connect links
* feat: redesign remote tunnel settings and access flow
* fix: cleaned up unused desktop close code path
* feat: overhaul named tunnel setup and persistence flow
* chore: align codemirror language dependency resolution

* fix(desktop): validate URL scheme before opening new window
* fix(desktop): skip unreachable hosts when opening new windows
* feat(voice): add voice input/output support with multiple providers
- Add BrowserVoiceButton component for Web Speech API voice input
- Add VoiceProvider context for managing voice state across the app

* fix: Build errors fixed and removed outdated ElevenLabs test code.
* refactor(voice): use zen API with gpt-5-nano for TTS summarization
Replace the hidden session + OpenCode SDK approach with direct calls
to the opencode.ai zen API (same pattern used for commit message and
PR description generation).
- Rewrite summarization-service.js to call zen/v1/responses with gpt-5-nano
- Remove hidden session logic (hiddenSession.ts, sessionStore filtering)
- Remove summarizeModel setting and model selector from VoiceSettings
- Simplify client-side summarize.ts to no longer pass model params
- Clean up callers in useMessageTTS and useBrowserVoice
* fix(voice): remove false 'voice not supported' warning in settings
Mobile Safari does support voice but the isSupported check was
incorrectly flagging it. Remove the warning banner entirely.
* feat(voice): add configurable summary length limit for TTS output
Add a slider (50-2000 chars) in voice settings to control max summary
length. The limit is passed through the summarize endpoint and speak
endpoint to the zen API prompt, with token budget scaled accordingly.
* fix(voice): add diagnostic logging and sanitize TTS fallback
Add console logging throughout the summarization flow (client + server)
to trace why text may not be summarized. Fix silent error swallowing in
/api/tts/speak. Always apply sanitizeForTTS even when summarization is
disabled so raw markdown/code is never spoken verbatim.
* fix(voice): fix token budget starving model of output tokens
max_output_tokens includes both reasoning and output tokens. With
effort:'low', reasoning alone consumes ~128 tokens, so a budget of
100 left zero tokens for the actual summary text. Use a fixed 1000
token budget (matching commit message generation) and control output
length via the prompt's character limit instruction instead.
* chore(voice): remove diagnostic logging from summarization flow
* fix(voice): don't request mic permission on mobile page load
Remove the useEffect that pre-requested microphone permission when the
BrowserVoiceButton component mounted on mobile. This caused an unwanted
permission prompt immediately on page load before the user tapped the
mic icon. Permission is now only requested on explicit user interaction.
* fix(voice): remove unused BrowserVoiceButton binding
* fix(voice): desktop mic flow + non-continuous draft mode
* fix(voice): stabilize continuous loop and polish controls
* feat(settings): mark voice section experimental

- Start API server on port 3001 and Vite dev server on port 5173 in the desktop dev flow
- Proxy /auth, /health, and /api to the local API server for development
- Gracefully handle startup/shutdown and report failures clearly
## What / Why
This PR finishes the desktop refactor: the Tauri app is now a thin shell that launches the web server as a sidecar and loads the UI from `http://127.0.0.1:<port>`. All real backend logic lives in `packages/web/server/index.js`; desktop Rust keeps only native integrations (menu/dialog/notifications/updater/deep-link + window chrome).
This unblocks:
- consistent behavior across web/desktop/vscode (single backend)
- simpler desktop maintenance (no duplicated Rust backend)
- host switching between Local + remote instances in desktop
- reliable cold-start behavior on slow machines (VSCode + desktop)
## Key changes
- Desktop sidecar runtime
- build pipeline to bundle web dist + `openchamber-server` sidecar (`packages/desktop/scripts/build-sidecar.mjs`)
- robust local port selection (prefer saved/default, fallback to random; persisted in `~/.config/openchamber/settings.json`)
- improved PATH handling so the sidecar can locate `opencode` CLI (incl `~/.opencode/bin`, overrides, common bins)
- disable native right-click context menu in production builds (dev keeps it)
- Desktop instance switcher (Tauri-only)
- header button + modal to add/edit/delete remote hosts, set default, probe status/ping, switch back to Local escape hatch
- auth gate includes host switcher so you can recover when a remote host is broken/auth-required
- host list stored desktop-locally (not tied to the currently selected remote server)
- Notifications
- decision logic moved server-side; desktop notifications emitted via sidecar stdout and shown natively by Tauri
- prevent double-notifications on desktop Local origin (UI ignores SSE notification when native path is active)
- restore macOS notification sound
- Updates
- Tauri updater used only when viewing Local instance in desktop shell (avoid “remote web update” triggering desktop restart)
- Settings persistence & UX polish
- persist model favorites/recents via `/api/config/settings` (works for web + desktop; not origin-dependent)
- persist per-project sidebar collapse state in `projects[].sidebarCollapsed` via `/api/config/settings` (with debounce on toggles)
- macOS header sizing/traffic-lights offsets fixed (marketing macOS major injected from desktop; MultiRun header aligned)
- VSCode cold-start: keep retrying provider/agent loads after connection to avoid empty UI on slow machines
- misc lint/type fixes + bun.lock sync
- Desktop bootstrap / resiliency
- show onboarding screen when OpenCode CLI is missing (desktop Local origin), with retry hook to restart OpenCode after install
## Testing notes
- Desktop (macOS): switch Local <-> remote, set default host, verify auth gate recovery, native notifications (with sound), updater gated to Local
- Web: favorites/recents + per-project collapsed state persist across reload/restart
- VSCode: slow startup no longer results in missing providers/agents/models
