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
* perf(stores): defer safeStorage writes off the interaction path
Session switches funnel every persisted store slice through safeStorage.setItem,
and doing those large JSON.stringify writes synchronously blocked the main
thread for over a second. Add a write-behind buffer that:
- Defers each setItem/removeItem to a later task via setTimeout(0) so the
click-to-paint path is not blocked.
- Coalesces repeated writes to the same key into a single backing flush.
- Serves pending values from memory so read-after-write stays consistent
within the deferral window.
- Flushes synchronously on pagehide/beforeunload/visibilitychange/freeze so
deferred state survives tab close, reload, and the mobile freeze lifecycle.
Adds a test covering write deferral, coalescing, and pending read serving.
* fix(stores): defer persisted JSON serialization
* fix(stores): defer direct safeStorage writes
