Enrich each session row in the macOS tray menu and refine its layout.
- Add a "project · branch" sublabel to every session row, resolved from the
session directory: project-root sessions map to their project + live/cached
git branch; worktree sessions map back to their parent project and use the
worktree's branch. Branch resolution falls back live VCS → git store → worktree
metadata, with normalized directory keys.
- Replace the inline text status glyph with a native left-aligned status icon
(vertically centred across the title + sublabel). Idle rows use a transparent
placeholder so every row shares the same gutter and both text lines align.
- Status icons use the app icon set: pulse (busy), check (unread), error-warning
(error), loop-right (retry); all rendered as tinted template images.
- Drop the unread count "(n)" from the row label — the check icon already
signals it and the number wasn't self-explanatory.
- Show the first 8 sessions inline; the rest stay in the overflow submenu.
- Subscribe the tray to the projects, worktree and git stores so subtitles stay
current.
Surface rate-limit usage in the tray, mirroring the header/mobile usage view.
- New "Usage (Used/Remaining)" submenu groups enabled providers with their
window limits (e.g. 5-Hour, Weekly Limit, Credits) and per-window values,
reusing the quota store and the same formatting helpers as the rest of the UI.
- Honors the "configured to show" rule: only providers the user enabled for the
dropdown and that report as configured are shown; when none qualify the submenu
is omitted entirely.
- Tray-side data: build usage groups in useTraySync, push on quota-store changes,
do one initial fetch for enabled providers on launch, and refresh on a
desktop-only interval that respects the user's auto-refresh setting (no change
to web behavior).
- Rows are read-only (greyed) info items; provider flush, windows indented.
- Show the first 8 sessions inline and move the rest into the overflow submenu.
Add an always-visible macOS status bar (tray) item that surfaces OpenChamber's
live state and acts as a quick launcher, plus a series of related desktop UX
fixes around mini-chat, window routing, notifications and shortcuts.
Tray (new):
- Monochrome template cube glyph that adapts to the menu bar light/dark.
- Icon-driven activity indicator: a smooth, eased, infinite "breathing" fill
while sessions are busy; a static filled cube when finished sessions are left
unread; a plain outline when idle. Text counters next to the icon only for
actionable states (pending approvals, errors).
- Menu lists active sessions (status glyph, branch, unread count) with overflow
rolled into a submenu; pending permission/question approvals with inline
Allow once / Allow always / Deny; quick actions (New Session, New Mini Chat,
Show OpenChamber, Quit). Header shows the active instance name
("Local OpenChamber" or the remote host label) for multi-window clarity.
- Session list sourced from the global (cross-project) sessions store, sorted by
last-updated, independent of which directories are currently open; live
status/unread/branch merged in from directory sync stores where available.
Sub-session (multi-run) activity rolls up to the parent row.
- Event-driven updates (global store + directory stores + notifications +
registry) with a short debounce; polling kept only as a slow safety net.
Tray/window routing:
- Opening a session from the tray targets the surface the user was last on: if a
mini-chat is active it switches that existing window to the session in place
(no new window); otherwise the main window (revealed without a reload).
- app.activate (dock click) restores the last-focused/minimized window instead
of spawning a new main window; only creates one when nothing is left.
- "Open in main window" and tray session-open now create the main window when
none exists, queuing the session as a pending deep-link so it opens once the
fresh renderer is ready.
Mini chat:
- New Mini Chat is now a customizable shortcut, exposed in Settings > Shortcuts,
in the File menu (hint only, renderer owns the binding), and in the tray.
- Themed splash backdrop on window open to remove the white flash / flicker;
dismissed once content is ready, leaving the content's single cube logo.
- Mini-chat can switch sessions in place via openchamber:open-session.
Notifications:
- The active/selected session only counts as "seen" when the window is focused,
so turns completing while the app is backgrounded raise an unread marker;
refocusing the window clears it.
