packages/ui/src/components/chat/message/TextSelectionMenu.tsx

- Why: Existing composer newlines were being destroyed and multiple appends ran together.
packages/ui/src/components/session/ProjectNotesTodoPanel.tsx
- What: Wrap todoText in ```md fenced block before appending to composer.

to trace why text may not be summarized. Fix silent error swallowing in
/api/tts/speak. Always apply sanitizeForTTS even when summarization is
disabled so raw markdown/code is never spoken verbatim.
* fix(voice): fix token budget starving model of output tokens
max_output_tokens includes both reasoning and output tokens. With
effort:'low', reasoning alone consumes ~128 tokens, so a budget of
100 left zero tokens for the actual summary text. Use a fixed 1000
token budget (matching commit message generation) and control output
length via the prompt's character limit instruction instead.
* chore(voice): remove diagnostic logging from summarization flow
* fix(voice): don't request mic permission on mobile page load
Remove the useEffect that pre-requested microphone permission when the
BrowserVoiceButton component mounted on mobile. This caused an unwanted
permission prompt immediately on page load before the user tapped the
mic icon. Permission is now only requested on explicit user interaction.
* fix(voice): remove unused BrowserVoiceButton binding
* fix(voice): desktop mic flow + non-continuous draft mode
* fix(voice): stabilize continuous loop and polish controls
* feat(settings): mark voice section experimental

## What / Why
This PR finishes the desktop refactor: the Tauri app is now a thin shell that launches the web server as a sidecar and loads the UI from `http://127.0.0.1:<port>`. All real backend logic lives in `packages/web/server/index.js`; desktop Rust keeps only native integrations (menu/dialog/notifications/updater/deep-link + window chrome).
This unblocks:
- consistent behavior across web/desktop/vscode (single backend)
- simpler desktop maintenance (no duplicated Rust backend)
- host switching between Local + remote instances in desktop
- reliable cold-start behavior on slow machines (VSCode + desktop)
## Key changes
- Desktop sidecar runtime
- build pipeline to bundle web dist + `openchamber-server` sidecar (`packages/desktop/scripts/build-sidecar.mjs`)
- robust local port selection (prefer saved/default, fallback to random; persisted in `~/.config/openchamber/settings.json`)
- improved PATH handling so the sidecar can locate `opencode` CLI (incl `~/.opencode/bin`, overrides, common bins)
- disable native right-click context menu in production builds (dev keeps it)
- Desktop instance switcher (Tauri-only)
- header button + modal to add/edit/delete remote hosts, set default, probe status/ping, switch back to Local escape hatch
- auth gate includes host switcher so you can recover when a remote host is broken/auth-required
- host list stored desktop-locally (not tied to the currently selected remote server)
- Notifications
- decision logic moved server-side; desktop notifications emitted via sidecar stdout and shown natively by Tauri
- prevent double-notifications on desktop Local origin (UI ignores SSE notification when native path is active)
- restore macOS notification sound
- Updates
- Tauri updater used only when viewing Local instance in desktop shell (avoid “remote web update” triggering desktop restart)
- Settings persistence & UX polish
- persist model favorites/recents via `/api/config/settings` (works for web + desktop; not origin-dependent)
- persist per-project sidebar collapse state in `projects[].sidebarCollapsed` via `/api/config/settings` (with debounce on toggles)
- macOS header sizing/traffic-lights offsets fixed (marketing macOS major injected from desktop; MultiRun header aligned)
- VSCode cold-start: keep retrying provider/agent loads after connection to avoid empty UI on slow machines
- misc lint/type fixes + bun.lock sync
- Desktop bootstrap / resiliency
- show onboarding screen when OpenCode CLI is missing (desktop Local origin), with retry hook to restart OpenCode after install
## Testing notes
- Desktop (macOS): switch Local <-> remote, set default host, verify auth gate recovery, native notifications (with sound), updater gated to Local
- Web: favorites/recents + per-project collapsed state persist across reload/restart
- VSCode: slow startup no longer results in missing providers/agents/models
