The tray showed the busy indicator for at most one session at a time.
Several gaps in how per-session status was sourced stacked up to that:
- Status was derived by iterating each sync child store's session list,
so a busy session missing from the list (created moments earlier from
another window, the tray, or the API while session.created raced or
the list got trimmed) was invisible even though the store's
session_status map already held its busy entry.
- The upstream /session/status endpoint is directory-scoped — querying
it without a directory only covers the server's own cwd, so there was
no authoritative cross-project snapshot to fall back on.
- Status events for directories without a child store were dropped by
the sync dispatcher, so sessions in unopened projects always rendered
idle.
Fix, layer by layer:
- Add a cross-project session-status store (sync/global-session-status)
fed two ways: the sync dispatcher now records status-bearing events
(session.status / session.idle / session.error) for ALL directories,
and the tray polls /session/status per visible-session directory to
seed initial state and reconcile missed events. Snapshots clear stale
entries both by directory key and by session id, so canonicalized
(realpath) directory mismatches can't strand a busy entry.
- Read live status straight from each child store's session_status map
instead of via its session list, and never let one store's idle entry
clobber another store's busy/retry for the same session.
- Resolve a session as active when either source (child stores or the
cross-project map) reports busy/retry, instead of letting the synced
store's idle shadow the fallback.
Verified end-to-end in the dev shell: two sessions running concurrently
in different projects — including a brand-new session in the open
project root, the exact case that failed — now both show busy in the
tray, and both return to idle when they finish.
Added a mobile MCP overlay so MCP tools can be opened and managed from the mobile UI without relying on desktop-only dropdown behavior.
Improved mobile session panel touch handling so tapping the status/session area opens the right panel reliably on phones and tablets.
Cleaned up mobile usage provider metadata by removing duplicate rows, hiding unset providers, and showing provider logos consistently.
Added eager loading for provider logos used in mobile usage views to avoid delayed or missing icons when the panel opens.
Refined the mobile update and about flows in OpenChamber settings so release/update information is easier to read on small screens.
Adjusted related layout, header, VS Code layout, command palette, and settings text/localization details needed for the mobile polish.
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.
Rework the desktop layout so the left sidebar spans the full window
height and reads as a distinct column, separate from the header.
- Persistent top-left controls (sidebar toggle + project actions) as a
single overlay that no longer migrates between header and sidebar, so
it stays put while panels animate. Drag regions carve out only under
the buttons so the strip stays draggable and the buttons clickable.
- Header sits in the content column (bg-background); the divider lives
on the chat content (border-t) so it doesn't run between header and
right sidebar. Right sidebar gets a top border + small content padding.
- Drop the rounded chat card and corner masks for flat 1px borders.
- Right sidebar, context panel and git/files views inherit the
background color instead of bg-sidebar.
- Remove hover background from Changes/Staged rows.
- Mini-chat header: borderless, bg-background.
Add TTS controls to markdown preview surfaces so users can listen to plans
and markdown files directly from the preview toolbar.
Changes:
- Add read-aloud / stop buttons to PlanView markdown preview.
- Add read-aloud / stop buttons to FilesView markdown preview for markdown files.
- Respect the existing showMessageTTSButtons preference in both preview views.
- Add a persisted ttsInputMode setting with sanitized/raw modes.
- Keep sanitized mode as the default for backward compatibility.
- Allow raw markdown only for server TTS providers that can handle markdown.
- Always use sanitized text for browser and macOS say fallback paths.
- Add Voice Settings controls for TTS input mode.
- Add i18n keys for the new preview buttons and setting labels.
- Merge latest main and preserve newer FilesView toolbar/editor changes.

Electron updater now uses Electron release metadata only
Removed legacy Tauri package and migration workflow
Replaced Tauri shim usage with the desktop bridge
Add a packaged-client runtime boundary so the shared UI can talk to local,
desktop, remote, and VS Code runtimes through the right transport instead of
assuming one same-origin web server.
Centralize OpenChamber-owned API access behind RuntimeAPIs, runtimeFetch, and
runtime URL helpers, while keeping official OpenCode traffic on the SDK path.
Support runtime switching, remote host selection, desktop client credentials,
and headless connection links for pairing packaged clients with remote
OpenChamber servers.
Harden the new auth model by moving long-lived client tokens out of browser
URLs, introducing short-lived scoped URL tokens for browser-owned transports,
restricting URL-token access to explicit readable/realtime routes, and making
client-token management session-scoped or self-scoped as appropriate.
Update browser-owned assets and preview proxy flows to work with the split
runtime model, including authenticated project icons, preview token propagation,
CSP-safe preview bridge injection, and preview proxy auth that survives
short-lived URL-token expiry.
Tighten Electron security boundaries for packaged clients by gating privileged
preload state to trusted origins and requiring explicit confirmation before
connect deep-links import or switch remote runtimes.
Also refresh agent guidance and project skills so future runtime/API, auth,
preview, UI, CLI, settings, locale, and drag-to-reorder work follows the new
architecture.

Prevents queued messages from being sent to a newly opened session
Adds explicit session targeting for queued auto-send
Covers the behavior with a unit test
* feat(tts/stt): add API key support for OpenAI-compatible custom providers
## Problem
Custom (OpenAI-compatible) TTS/STT provider in Voice Settings has no way to
pass an API key or bearer token. Many self-hosted or third-party compatible
servers require authentication, making them unreachable from OpenChamber.
The server-side TTS route already accepts an `apiKey` parameter, but the
frontend never sends it. The STT route hardcodes `'not-required'`.
## Implementation
- Add `openaiCompatibleApiKey` to Zustand config store, persisted to localStorage
- Add API Key input field in VoiceSettings.tsx under the custom provider section
- Wire `openaiCompatibleApiKey` through useServerTTS to the TTS backend
- Add `apiKey` field to AudioStreamConfig for STT, forwarded as X-API-Key header
- Update server STT route to accept and forward X-API-Key to transcribeAudio
- Update stt.js to use client-provided apiKey before falling back to env var

* feat(tts/stt): add separate API key support for custom TTS and STT providers
## Problem
Custom (OpenAI-compatible) TTS and STT providers in Voice Settings have no way
to pass API keys. Many self-hosted or third-party compatible servers require
authentication, making them unreachable from OpenChamber Desktop (Electron).
## Implementation
- Add `openaiCompatibleApiKey` for TTS (persisted to localStorage, passed in JSON body)
- Add `sttApiKey` for STT (persisted to localStorage, passed via Authorization: Bearer header)
- Two independent keys: TTS and STT are configured separately
- STT authentication follows OpenAI standard (Authorization: Bearer <token>)
- TTS authentication follows existing pattern (apiKey in JSON body)
- Backend STT route extracts bearer token from Authorization header
- Backend STT service prefers client-provided key over OPENAI_API_KEY env var
## Fixes
- Fixed P1: ConfigStore interface now declares setOpenaiCompatibleApiKey setter
- STT API key is only forwarded when sttProvider === 'server' (not leaked to other providers)

Improve chat session switching and history pagination, with most of the aggressive limits scoped to the VS Code webview where the freezes were observed.
Session history loading and pagination:
- Reduce the VS Code message page size to 30 records so switching sessions does not immediately hydrate large histories into the webview.
- Keep manual Load older messages in VS Code fixed at 30 records per request instead of growing the request size over time.
- Add a bounded VS Code initial-tail expansion path from 30 to 50, 80, and 120 records only when the initial page has no user-message turn boundary, preventing large final turns from rendering as an empty chat.
- Lower the normal web message page size from 200 to 150 for a mild shared optimization without adopting the aggressive VS Code limits.
- Make session pagination metadata reactive per session so ChatContainer receives cursor updates from materialization and reconnect paths without requiring a switch away and back.
- Write pagination metadata before publishing newly materialized messages so the first render sees the correct has-more state.
- Store cursor information from direct materialization and reconnect message fetches in the shared session prefetch metadata cache.
VS Code cache and memory pressure reductions:
- Use a shared per-directory session recency map so cache eviction is based on app-level recency instead of whichever useSync instance happened to run.
- Limit VS Code warm session cache retention to 4 sessions and evict heavy inactive message caches after switching away from a large session.
- Disable sidebar session prefetch in VS Code because warming extra sessions was increasing webview memory and GC pressure during navigation.
- Remove dropdown background message prefetch so opening the switcher does not start additional session materialization work.
- Drop cached session-message-record snapshots when evicting session data so stale derived records do not remain after the raw session cache is cleared.
- Add bounded LRU caching for session message record snapshots, with much smaller VS Code limits and a VS Code cap that avoids caching snapshots above 30 messages.
- Bound the turn-window model cache in VS Code and avoid caching turn models for sessions above the VS Code message-page size.
Chat render-path reductions:
- Reuse ChatContainer's already-materialized message records in plan detection instead of adding a second active-session message subscription.
- Add a no-op guard when marking session plan availability so repeated detections do not create new Map references and fan out renders.
- Add no-op guards for session switcher and dropdown open state updates to avoid unnecessary store updates and renders.
- Convert several session-specific hooks to useSyncExternalStore with empty-session no-subscribe behavior so empty IDs do not subscribe to broad store updates.
- Remount the chat viewport when the current session changes, isolating per-session viewport and list state.
- Change the virtualized message-list fallback to render only a tail window when the virtualizer has not produced rows yet, instead of rendering an entire large history.
VS Code layout and header improvements:
- Remove the broad useSessions subscription from the VS Code layout header path and subscribe only to the active session title and initial-session existence.
- Unmount the compact VS Code session sidebar when the user is in chat view instead of keeping the hidden session list mounted and subscribed.
- Compute the latest assistant model and latest context-token usage in a single reverse scan of current-session messages instead of scanning the same list twice.
- Remove switcher git-status warmup work so the switcher reads already-loaded branch labels without starting extra background git status requests.
Markdown and file-reference safeguards:
- Skip expensive syntax highlighting for very large code blocks, with a 200-line cap in VS Code and a softer 1200-line cap in web.
- Add an LRU cap to file-reference stat lookups so the cache cannot grow without bound across many rendered messages.
- Limit the number of file references annotated per render to 40 in VS Code and 200 in web to prevent large assistant outputs from spawning too many stat checks.
- Clear file-link annotations when file-reference mode is disabled so stale attributes and handlers do not remain on previously annotated nodes.
Assistant-message action and preview reductions:
- Skip preview URL scanning on VS Code, mobile, and mini-chat surfaces so assistant text and tool output are not scanned where the preview action is unavailable.
- Skip Save-as-Plan project lookup on VS Code, mini-chat, and mobile surfaces.
- Hide Save-as-Plan and Start MultiRun assistant-message actions on VS Code, mini-chat, and mobile surfaces.
- Resolve the current session directory on demand for assistant actions instead of subscribing each assistant message to the full session list.
Tool and task rendering optimizations:
- Prefer finalized task metadata summaries without fetching child-session messages when the summary is already present.
- Avoid polling or final-fetching task child sessions once a final metadata summary is available.
- Use VS Code-specific task child fetch limits of 30 records for initial, active, and idle fetches.
- Parse diff stats by scanning patch text line-by-line instead of splitting large patches into arrays.
- Count write-tool lines by scanning content instead of allocating a split array for large files.
- Avoid trimming large patch strings just to test whether they contain content.
- Memoize diff and write statistics so unchanged tool parts do not recalculate them on every render.
VS Code bridge improvements:
- Return JSON and text proxy responses through the VS Code bridge as bodyText instead of base64 so the webview avoids synchronous base64 decoding for common API responses.
- Keep binary responses on the base64 path while making bodyBase64 optional in the bridge contract.
- Strip content-length, content-encoding, and transfer-encoding headers from proxied responses because the bridge reconstructs the Response body.

- bun run type-check
- bun run lint
- bun run vscode:build

* fix: make PWA install and OpenCode update toasts dismissible
Both 'Install OpenChamber' and 'OpenCode update available' toasts use
duration: Infinity with no close affordance, so they persist on screen
until the user accepts (install/update) or reloads the tab. For users
who do not want to install the PWA or upgrade right now, this is
intrusive and there is no opt-out.
Add a Dismiss button (sonner cancel action) to both toasts. When the
user dismisses:
- PWA: persist a flag in localStorage so the prompt does not reappear
on future sessions. Accepting Install still works as before.
- OpenCode update: persist the dismissed version in localStorage. The
toast will appear again only when a newer version becomes available.
Adds new i18n keys pwa.installPrompt.dismiss and
opencodeUpdate.toast.actions.dismiss across all seven locales (en,
es, ko, pl, pt-BR, uk, zh-CN).
* test: extract toast dedup helpers and cover with 28 unit tests
Lift the dismissal-decision logic out of usePwaInstallPrompt and
OpenCodeUpdateToast into a React-free sibling module so it can be
unit-tested directly. The React surfaces remain sole owners of side
effects (storage writes, toast.info, event listeners); the new module
only answers 'should we show?'.
New module openCodeUpdateDedup.ts exposes four helpers:
- shouldShowPwaInstallToast(input) - three gates: dismissed,
sessionShown, hasActiveToast.
- shouldShowOpenCodeUpdateToast(input) - empty version, seen set,
dismissed===version gates; a different dismissed version lets the
toast resurface for the new release.
- resolveOpenCodeUpdateVersion(detail) - parses CustomEvent payloads
defensively (null/non-object/non-string -> '').
- resolveOpenCodeUpgradeStatusVersion(status) - parses upgrade status
payloads (status falsy / available!==true / latestVersion non-string
-> '').
Consumers now call the helpers and only run the side-effect when the
decision is true. Behaviour is unchanged.
Coverage: 28 tests via bun:test, 33 expects, all pass first try.
Desktop shells no longer subscribe to the browser notification stream
Electron keeps using the native desktop notification path only
Web browser notifications continue to use the notification stream
Web notifications now listen to the notification stream directly
Native notifications no longer depend on PWA push being enabled
Window focus is respected when deciding whether to send background push notifications
Disable the active Zen summarization flow because the unauthenticated/free Zen provider is no longer available and now returns usage-limit errors for this feature.
Keep /api/text/summarize as an API-compatible stub that returns local sanitized or distilled fallback text with summarized=false, rather than attempting external model calls.
Remove notification and voice playback summary behavior from runtime paths. Notification {last_message} now always uses normalized truncated text, and TTS playback ignores historical summarize request fields.
Hide the notification summary settings and voice summarize-before-playback controls while preserving legacy persisted settings for compatibility. Also disable Zen model startup validation and make Zen model list routes return empty results.
Update module documentation and tests to describe the retired provider behavior and the remaining compatibility stubs.
* fix(status): pick latest assistant message in single pass
Sync reconciliation can splice messages out of array order, so the
previous "filter + sort + last" pipeline could pick the wrong record
as the latest assistant message and surface a stale status.
Replace it with a single-pass scan that compares created-time (tiebreak
by id) — same selection, but resilient to non-sorted message arrays.
* refactor: use comparator + running max for latest assistant pick
Address Greptile review: collapse the dual-exit-point single-pass max
finder (separate continue + isNewer branches, repeated null checks)
into a single isLater(a, b) comparator with one running-max comparison
per iteration. Same selection rule, easier to verify.

Bottom-zone threshold now scales with the scroll container's clientHeight
rather than window.innerHeight. The threshold is meant to mirror the empty
spacer at the end of the chat, but what users perceive as "the empty tail"
is relative to the visible chat area, not the whole viewport — on desktop
the chat is shorter than the window because of the input row below it.
This keeps the scroll-to-bottom button hidden until the user has actually
scrolled past the spacer they see, regardless of viewport size.
Wheel and touch release detection no longer treats every nested
[data-scrollable] as a blocker. The old check returned true for any
nested scrollable ancestor, so wheel-up over a code block already at its
own scrollTop=0 produced no effect — the inner element could not consume
the gesture and the outer chat refused to release auto-follow. The new
check returns true only when the nested element can actually scroll up
(scrollTop > 0); otherwise the gesture bubbles to the chat and releases
auto-follow as expected.
The previous system layered three hooks (useScrollEngine, useChatScrollManager,
useChatTimelineController) with overlapping responsibilities, four parallel
ResizeObservers/MutationObservers, and six entry points to "scroll to bottom"
(force-flag combinations, persistent follow loops, materialization recovery).
This produced bugs where users could not break free of auto-follow during
streaming: scrollbar drag, keyboard scrolling and find-in-page were not
detected as user intent, and observers kept restarting the follow loop on
every DOM mutation.
The new architecture replaces the two low-level hooks with a single
useChatAutoFollow that owns scroll behaviour end to end:
- One state: 'following' or 'released'. No follow modes, no pin flags,
no marker pixels.
- One scroll writer: a lerp loop that runs only while the session is
streaming and state is 'following'. Idle sessions never write scrollTop
programmatically.
- One user-intent detector: wheel up, touch drag down, keyboard
(PageUp / Home / ArrowUp), pointerdown on the OverlayScrollbar thumb,
and explicit releaseAutoFollow() calls all flip the state to 'released'.
- A 1.2s grace period after explicit release: re-pin will not auto-engage
inside this window, so a small wheel up cannot snap the user back even
while they remain near the bottom spacer.
- Re-pin and the scroll-to-bottom button share the same threshold: the
height of the empty bottom spacer (10vh on desktop, 40px on mobile).
Released users see the button only after they have scrolled past the
spacer that already exists at the end of the chat.
- Save/restore of scroll position uses ratio mapping, debounced at 150ms
on user-driven scroll events; programmatic writes are masked via a short
window so they never persist as user positions.
- Container reattachment is detected via a useLayoutEffect probe over
scrollRef.current. Listeners and observers re-bind when ChatViewport
mounts after hydration or after the first message promotes a draft
session into a real chat.
- A pending-restore queue replays restoreSnapshot once the scroll
container appears, fixing the case where a hydrating session landed at
the top instead of the bottom.
Removed: useScrollEngine.ts, useChatScrollManager.ts, the persistent
follow loop with its own ResizeObserver+MutationObserver pair, the
materialization-recovery .finally resume that yanked idle users to the
bottom on transient sync gaps, and the openchamber:session-reselected
event (re-select still works through the existing onSessionSelected
callback). The openchamber:chat-force-scroll-bottom event remains for
synthetic-message paths like git-message generation.
Net change: ~1300 lines removed, two hooks replaced with one, one
observer pair instead of four.
Add dedicated Electron Mini Chat windows for focused chat sessions without the full desktop shell. Mini Chat can open existing sessions or draft sessions, supports pinning above other windows, transfers sessions or drafts back to the main window, and deduplicates existing-session windows.
Expose Mini Chat entry points from the main header, session sidebar, command palette, and `mod+alt+n`. Add a dedicated Vite entry and React runtime so the compact surface can stay isolated from full-app chrome while still sharing chat, sync, theme, locale, model, agent, and worktree behavior.
Keep Mini Chat behavior scoped to the compact surface:
- limit assistant/user message actions to the appropriate Mini Chat set
- hide workspace changed-files UI in Mini Chat
- keep draft worktree selection and streaming directory state in sync
- mark sessions viewed while they are open in Mini Chat
- support Mini Chat-specific keyboard shortcuts for input focus, model selection, thinking variant cycling, favorite model cycling, and opening new Mini Chat drafts
Harden Electron integration by gating Mini Chat controls on desktop IPC availability, restricting pin/unpin IPC to Mini Chat windows, and only closing Mini Chat after the main window handoff succeeds.
* fix: handle terminal keyboard input on Android with desktop UA
- Detect Android via navigator.userAgentData.platform when UA is
spoofed by Chrome's "Desktop site" mode, so the <input> overlay
(useTextInput) is used instead of <textarea>.
- Handle Ctrl+letter and Alt+letter combos in the hidden input
overlay's keydown handler, so terminal control sequences (^C, ^D,
^S, M-x, etc.) work through the touch input path.
- Skip global keyboard shortcuts (sidebar toggle, etc.) when focus
is inside the terminal viewport, preventing shortcut steal.
* fix: preserve terminal keyboard shortcuts

* fix: restore scroll position when switching chat sessions
When switching between chat sessions, scroll position now restores to
where the user left off instead of always jumping to the bottom.
- Save pixel-level scrollPosition (scrollTop/scrollHeight/clientHeight)
in viewport store on every scroll event
- Add restoreSavedScrollPosition to timeline controller for ratio-based
restoration (handles content size changes between visits)
- Suppress intermediate scroll events during session transition with an
explicit flag, cleared deterministically after restore completes
- Cancel in-flight animations/follow-loops on session switch
- Preserve scrollPosition when session-ui-store rebuilds SessionMemoryState
* fix: keep streaming sessions pinned on restore

Merge file picker into command palette. Single Cmd+P entry searches
files, sessions, settings pages and commands; groups re-order by best
fuzzy score per source. Sessions show branch labels; git status is
lazily fetched for all session directories on open.
