Sidebars now slide open/closed with a 200ms cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1) transition on width. Inline transitionProperty/Duration/TimingFunction are used directly on the aside so the change is browser-driven rather than relying on Tailwind arbitrary classes that didn't reliably trigger the width transition.
Inner sidebar content is pinned to the open width with shrink-0 so it stays full-size while the outer aside collapses around it, eliminating the vertical jitter that came from content reflowing when its container shrank. The chat-frame keeps a constant 1px border and 10px radius on all four sides — only the left/right border color toggles between border/50 and transparent — so no layout reflow happens when sidebars open. Mask-corner overlays are always mounted and animate their left/right offset and opacity in lockstep with the sidebars instead of mounting/unmounting.
Header now spans the full window width above the [sidebar | chat | right-sidebar] row instead of nesting inside the central column. The chat area becomes a self-contained framed window with its own border and rounded corners on all four sides, and sidebars sit flush against the header sharing its bg-sidebar so the seam is invisible.
Removed the duplicated shell controls the old layout needed to fake header-height inside sidebars: portal host on RightSidebar, paddingTop reservation, top drag overlay, duplicated layout-left / chat-new buttons in SidebarHeader, the showDesktopSidebarChrome block in SessionSidebar, and the conditional traffic-lights inset on the desktop header. Mac WCO inset now lives only on the header.
Moved the new-session action into the SessionSwitcher dropdown as its first item, removed the standalone chat-new button from the header, relocated scheduled-tasks into the left action group of the sidebar header, and bumped ContextPanel tab strip to h-10 to balance the more prominent header.
Restart OpenCode after successful updates so the new version is active
Open native About menu into the app About dialog
Update desktop View menu actions for the new layout
Prevents duplicate native notifications when a session is open in both sidebar and editor
Uses an extension-host claim step so only one VS Code webview displays each notification
Keeps notification behavior unchanged for single-panel sessions
Targets active editor chat before falling back to sidebar
Adds session open-in-editor action in the VS Code sidebar

Change the chat text-selection Add to notes action to use the existing markdown selection payload, matching Add to chat formatting behavior while still falling back to plain text when markdown extraction is unavailable.
Stop distilling or summarizing selected text before saving it to project notes. The action now appends the selected content directly so code, lists, emphasis, and other markdown survive.
Increase the project notes text limit from 1000 to 3000 characters to account for saving raw selected text instead of a short generated summary.
Update user-facing copy across locales from distilled insight language to selected text language.
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.
Move VS Code/Cursor desktop notifications onto the webview Notification API instead of the extension-host watcher path, which could not reliably produce native OS notifications.
Route OpenCode runtime events from the shared sync pipeline into the VS Code webview so completion, error, question, and permission notifications use the same live event stream as the UI.
Respect the OpenChamber notification settings in VS Code, including template rendering, completion cooldowns, permission auto-accept suppression, and the notify-while-focused mode.
Use VS Code's window focus signal from the extension host instead of document.hasFocus() inside the webview, so hidden-only notifications are suppressed while Cursor or VS Code is focused across platforms.

* fix: reduce React Doctor diagnostics in ModelControls (69/88)
* Move EditModeIcon and IconBadge to module scope to prevent remount on every render
EditModeIcon and IconBadge were defined as React.FC inside ModelControls
function body, producing a new component type reference on every render
and forcing React to unmount/remount subtrees. Moves both to module
scope; EditModeIcon no longer closes over editToggleIconClass since all
callers already pass an explicit className prop.
Adds a React Doctor batching script for targeted diagnostics cleanup

Ignores generated local React Doctor reports
Replace server-enforced structured output with local JSON parsing for Git generation

- Fix infinite toast loop: stop auto-restart on network errors
- Add retry limit with exponential backoff for transient STT errors
- Append voice transcript to input field (append-inline), not replace
- Add model catalog with download/load button in Voice Settings
When notificationMode is 'hidden-only', the isWindowFocused check now
happens before summarization and template resolution, not after. This
prevents costly Zen API calls for notifications that would be skipped
anyway, and eliminates stale notifications arriving after the user has
already read the response and switched away.
- Cache turnWindowModel per sessionId to skip rebuild on re-visit
- Compensate scroll position after virtualizer measurement settles
(RAF-based) so large uncached sessions open at bottom, not top
- Add MessageListHandle.scrollToBottom via virtualizer API
Replace @remixicon/react with a shared Icon component that renders
via <use href> references to a single hidden SVG sprite. This reduces
DOM node count by replacing inline SVGs with lightweight references.
- Create Icon component with sprite injection (packages/ui/src/components/icon/)
- Migrate all 164 files from @remixicon/react to Icon component
- Auto-generate sprite data from remixicon bundle (scripts/generate-icon-sprite.mjs)
- Add bun run icons:generate to package.json
- Move @remixicon/react to devDependencies
- Add icon usage instructions to theme-system skill
Virtualize message timeline at 5+ turns. Stabilize virtualizer keys,
add prepend-aware scroll compensation for "Load older", and defer
expanded tool bodies by one animation frame. Tighten initial turn
window to 7 turns for faster session open.
Removed duplicate Mini Chat launch action from the closed-sidebar header
Enabled opening Mini Chat from draft sessions via the header PiP action
Added read-only context usage info to existing Mini Chat sessions
Bump @container/model-controls thresholds so labels disappear before
they would ellipsis-truncate. Hide order: agent (< 22rem), variant
(< 14rem), model (< 10rem). VS Code keeps its tighter thresholds.
Use existing local PR branches instead of blocking worktree creation
Only block PR branches already checked out in another worktree
Clarify local branch validation messages across locales
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.
Conflict resolution prompts now ask for an analysis-first strategy
Response style instructions are wrapped as system reminders
Prompt templates stay separate from reminder formatting
Subagent completion notifications respect notification settings
Permission auto-accept now suppresses notifications for known child sessions
Server notification checks use OpenCode session parent semantics
Canonicalize session message/part materialization across load, prefetch, reconnect, and recovery paths so OpenChamber restores session snapshots through one consistent merge flow.
Preserve live assistant streaming text when stale or delayed snapshots arrive, while still replacing optimistic user parts with confirmed server snapshots to avoid duplicated user messages.
Narrow recovery triggers to explicit incomplete snapshot signals instead of broad session-event fallbacks, reducing unnecessary session refetches during active streaming.
Keep turn windowing aligned with parented assistant replies and add regression coverage for materialization gaps, stale snapshot protection, optimistic user replacement, reconnect recovery, and turn grouping.
Limits reconnect and repair message fetches to recent messages
Reduces repeated bandwidth for large tool outputs
Keeps normal session loading unchanged
Deduplicates concurrent app initialization in the config store
Lazy-loads VS Code-only app surfaces
Avoids broad view barrel imports for better chunk isolation
