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.
* feat: switch sessions sidebar to global paginated loading with archived flow
Load sessions via global endpoint with progressive 500-item pagination and legacy fallback
Add dedicated archived sidebar section for archived and unassigned sessions
Change remove behavior to archive outside archived and hard-delete inside archived
* feat: improve archived sessions UX and folder persistence
Archive sessions on worktree removal while keeping worktree deletion
Streamline archived sidebar actions, icons, metadata, and tooltips
Persist session folders to ~/.config/openchamber/sessions-directories.json with startup hydration
* fix: align archived session actions and clean empty archived folders
Apply archived dropdown behavior consistently for folder-contained sessions
Remove archived-only folder actions while keeping standard folder behavior elsewhere
Auto-prune empty archived folders during session cleanup and persistence sync
* refactor: modularize session sidebar and stabilize behavior
Split monolithic sidebar logic into focused hooks and components
Kept session, archive, folder, and project interactions working with cleaner state persistence
Added sidebar DOCUMENTATION.md summarizing file roles and refactor outcomes
* fix: improve fork PR detection and smart remote tracking
Added centralized PR status store for shared polling and refresh
Auto-selects the remote that has an existing PR when current remote has none
Stops periodic polling for closed or merged PRs to reduce unnecessary requests
* fix: make chat and toast corners follow active theme radius
Toast corners now use theme radius tokens instead of hardcoded rounding
User message bubble now uses theme-configured max radius with preserved tail corner
Square-corner themes now consistently affect both toasts and chat bubbles
* feat: show live PR status across git view and session sidebar
Added a shared GitHub PR status store with adaptive background polling and terminal-state pause
Improved fork remote detection and auto-selection so existing PRs are found more reliably
Updated session group headers to show clickable PR number with branch and state-colored branch icon
* feat: centralize GitHub PR tracking and enrich session sidebar PR details
Moved PR status polling to a single global pipeline keyed by directory and branch
Improved fork-aware PR resolution and reduced duplicate GitHub status fetches across views
Added richer session sidebar PR display with clickable number, state-aware styling, and structured tooltip details
* fix: adjust PR indicator icon vertical alignment
Fine-tuned PR indicator icon vertical alignment in session sidebar
Reduced icon translate-y from 2px to 0.5px for better visual balance
* feat: improve session sidebar status display
* feat: enhance session display logic for minimal mode and improve dropdown menu accessibility
* feat: refactor session row to include tooltip for minimal display mode
