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
Replace repeated project-by-session directory matching across sidebar hooks with a shared ownership index that resolves each unique directory once and exposes direct project and folder-scope buckets.
Gate destructive folder reconciliation on authoritative session data and topology readiness, preserve last-known worktrees after discovery failures, and retain nested-project, VS Code, active/archive dedupe, and Windows drive-root semantics.
Narrow cross-directory subscriptions to session and status slices so streaming deltas no longer trigger global aggregation. Reuse a cached session ID index for permission lineage checks instead of rebuilding it on every session switch.
On the reported 15-project, 67-worktree, 14,561-session shape, ownership indexing averages 3.81 ms versus roughly 450 ms for the cache-only hotfix.
Validation: 28 targeted tests, UI type-check, UI lint, and dead-code analysis.
