Rebuilds better-sqlite3 separately for Electron before packaging
Copies the native binary into the packaged app resources
Updates packaging docs to explain the afterPack workaround
The tray controller called setToolTip and setContextMenu unconditionally on
every snapshot push. On Linux both are synchronous D-Bus calls into
plasmashell's StatusNotifierItem host. useTraySync debounced pushes at 120ms
(up to ~8/sec during token streaming), so each push made 2 blocking D-Bus
round-trips even when only dockBadgeCount changed or a token streamed into
an already-listed session — i.e., tooltip and menu content didn't change.
The native block has no JS-level log, is intermittent (depends on plasmashell
load), and eventually freezes the Electron main thread until crash.
setTitle and setImage were already deduped; setToolTip and setContextMenu
were the gap. Mirror the existing lastX pattern:
- tray.mjs: dedupe setToolTip (exact string compare via lastTooltip) and
setContextMenu (via lastMenuKey, a lightweight signature of menu-affecting
fields: sessions/approvals/usage). menuKey is a string concat, cheaper than
buildMenu itself, so skipping buildMenu when the key matches also saves
work. Cache-after-call ordering matches lastTitle/lastTooltip so a throw
forces a retry rather than skipping one. destroy() resets both new vars.
- useTraySync.ts: FLUSH_DEBOUNCE_MS 120 -> 500. Tray doesn't need sub-second
updates; approvals are rare discrete events that flush through the debounce
and the main app UI stays instant via SSE/stores.
The first change is the real fix; the second is a complement. Either alone
helps; together they eliminate the freeze under streaming.

Reads OPENCHAMBER_SKIP_LOCAL_SERVER after inheriting the user shell environment
Applies the flag consistently during startup and initial URL resolution
Updates Electron docs to explain where the setting comes from
Adds a General settings switch to show or hide the macOS menu bar item.
Persists the new desktopMacMenuBarEnabled setting and passes tray state into Electron.
Disables tray sync and native tray setup when the menu bar is turned off.
Allow Desktop to skip its in-process OpenChamber server with OPENCHAMBER_SKIP_LOCAL_SERVER=1 while continuing to load the packaged UI shell.
Carry local runtime availability through the boot contract so unavailable or unconfigured remotes enter a remote-only chooser instead of offering broken local recovery actions. The chooser can select saved instances, add a server by URL, or redeem an OpenChamber pairing link over direct or E2EE relay transports.
Keep additional windows, Mini Chat, background startup, and unreachable-host recovery functional without a local origin. Render boot and recovery surfaces with the active theme background rather than exposing the native vibrancy backing.
Document the environment variable and cover serverless boot routing plus malformed pairing imports with focused tests.
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
Adds a new `hmr-react-scan` web dev option in `oc-dev`
Turns on React Scan via `VITE_ENABLE_REACT_SCAN` for that mode
Documents Electron workspace trust so fresh installs fetch the runtime automatically

Candidates refresh (server + mobile + desktop clients):
- GET /api/client-auth/connection/candidates returns the server's current
LAN URLs, relay candidate, and serverId for already-paired devices
- /health and /api/version expose serverId so clients can verify a learned
address belongs to the expected server before sending their bearer token
- mobile: refresh saved candidates over the live transport after every
connect/wake, hot-switch relay->LAN when a fresh address is reachable;
serverId gate on direct probes; token no longer sent to /health
- desktop: refresh stored host apiUrl after a relay connect and hot-switch
back to direct; electron probe verifies serverId before authenticated fetch
Fixes found while debugging a dead pairing:
- settings: strict reader that throws on corrupt/unreadable file instead of
returning {}; relay signing/encryption key generation is now gated on it,
so a swallowed read failure can no longer mint a new server identity and
orphan every paired device (loud log when a keypair IS generated)
- SessionAuthGate: bounded auto-retry for transient session-check failures
(initial request racing the relay tunnel's first WS attempt, startup 5xx)
Add Windows launch-at-login with background startup support and extend the
native tray integration to Windows.
Add a Windows-only setting to minimize or close the main window to the
system tray, persist it through desktop settings, and expose it in Settings
search and all locale dictionaries.
Keep tray state synchronized with live sessions on both macOS and Windows,
while preserving the existing macOS behavior.
- A saved host now keeps every transport its pairing link carried: direct URL
plus the relay descriptor, with one token for both (the mobile connection
model). Switching tries the direct leg and falls back to the E2EE tunnel;
list probes report Connected · Relay when only the tunnel reaches the host;
relaunch restore picks direct first
- Host switching trusts the dropdown's fresh probe instead of re-probing on
click (no doubled latency, no transient Unreachable flashes); statuses are
written once with the final outcome, survive the dropdown closing via a
last-known cache, and an unprobed host reads Checking — never Unknown
- Open-in-new-window works for relay hosts: a new IPC command boots the local
UI with the host id injected and the renderer picks the transport; the app
render holds on the relay restore so the splash shows instead of a transient
auth screen (10s safety valve)
- Relay host control socket gained protocol-level keepalive: a missed pong
window terminates and reconnects, so the relay can no longer hold a ghost
registration that leaves every client tunnel hanging; the desktop relay
probe also hard-times-out at 8s instead of hanging status flows
- Services dropdown restyled with mobile-style cards: per-provider usage
cards, per-host instance cards with a selected highlight and a toned
status line, MCP servers grouped in a card
Reworks how devices connect to an OpenChamber server, end to end.
Pairing v2:
- One-time pairing links/QR codes (openchamber://connect?v=2) carrying a set of transport candidates (LAN/tunnel/relay) and a single-use secret redeemed server-side; no tokens embedded in links
- Add-a-device dialog written for first-time users: intent-based transport choice (Anywhere / Home network only / This computer only) with plain-language descriptions, transparent fallback checkboxes, server-authoritative LAN detection, high-res QR dialog
- Private relay folded into pairing as a transport candidate with a demand-driven lifecycle (enables when a relay device is paired, disables when none remain)
Multi-transport devices:
- A saved device holds all its transports and one token; mobile re-probes on connect, resume, and network change and hot-switches LAN<->relay seamlessly (no re-pairing, no remount, session preserved)
- Desktop can import relay pairing links, switch to relay hosts through the E2EE tunnel, and restore a relay default host after relaunch
Device management:
- Device list (web + desktop) shows live per-device connectivity with the active transport (Connected - Local network / Relay) and platform badges (iOS/Android/macOS/Windows/Linux)
- One physical device = one record: stable per-install dedupe keys across pairing and password re-login; typed pairing label names the device, paired devices name the connection by the issuing server hostname
- Trusted desktop-local client manages all devices (list, revoke, clear revoked); relay host reaps dead client sockets after 3 missed keepalives
Android:
- LAN transport unblocked (cleartext + mixed content, mirroring iOS ATS exceptions); resume re-probe retries through network flux and silently auto-reconnects from a disconnected state
The client-create gate added in 1.13.9 rejects client tokens without the
desktop-local kind, but the kind was only attached when the runtime
origin exactly matched the injected local origin — an empty (same-origin)
api base, loopback aliases, and the embedded server addressed via a LAN
interface (0.0.0.0 binds) all minted untagged tokens, which then hit 403
and surfaced as "Local — Auth required" plus the unreachable-server
screen. The renderer now treats same-origin and loopback targets as
local, the Electron main additionally matches any of the machine's own
interface addresses on the local server's port, and a deduped kind-tagged
mint migrates away legacy same-label tokens that predate client kinds.
The client-create gate itself is unchanged.
Bundle the official OpenCode CLI into Electron desktop builds instead of relying on whichever opencode executable happens to be first on PATH. Pin @opencode-ai/sdk to an exact version and use that version as the source of truth for the downloaded CLI artifact.
Add an Electron prepare script that maps the current platform/arch to the official OpenCode release artifact, downloads it from GitHub releases, caches the archive under packages/electron/.cache, stages the binary under resources/opencode-cli, verifies opencode --version, and skips work when the staged binary already matches.
Prefer explicit OpenCode binary overrides first, then the bundled Electron CLI, then PATH/system installs. Keep rejecting the Windows OpenCode desktop app executable as a CLI candidate and add resolver tests for bundled priority, explicit override priority, resourcesPath lookup, and desktop-app rejection.
Suppress OpenCode CLI update prompts when the active CLI source is bundled. The server now reports upgrade-status as unavailable for bundled CLI while still returning the current OpenCode version for About, and rejects direct upgrade attempts with a 409 instead of trying to mutate the bundled binary.
Update desktop release, smoke, and manual macOS DMG workflows to prepare and verify the bundled CLI before packaging, verify the packaged app contains the expected CLI, cache downloads by OS/arch/OpenCode version, and align the Windows smoke runner with production windows-2022.
Document desktop bundling behavior, ignore generated CLI/cache files, add oc-dev helpers, and keep Web/VS Code behavior dependent on installed OpenCode CLI rather than desktop bundled resources.
Show a count of chats (root sessions) with unseen activity on the macOS
dock icon. The count is computed in the existing tray snapshot (full
cross-project list, not the capped tray view; a subtask's unseen rolls up
to its root only when subtask notifications are enabled) and pushed to the
main process over the existing desktop_tray_update IPC, which calls
app.setBadgeCount (0 clears it). The badge clears as sessions are marked
seen on window focus.
Add a Dock badge toggle in Appearance settings (default on, persisted,
darwin desktop only), localized across all dictionaries, with a matching
settings-search entry whose availability mirrors the render guard exactly.
OpenChamber spawns the OpenCode server as an external child binary (detached
on Unix), so a hard crash, SIGKILL, or Ctrl+C of the host before graceful
teardown could leave it running. Orphaned servers then accumulate and contend
on the shared SQLite DB, causing severe startup slowdowns.
Add a per-process registry plus a startup reaper, mirroring the pattern
OpenCode's own CLI daemon uses for its detached server:
- One file per spawned process at
~/.config/openchamber/managed-opencode/<pid>.json. Per-process files avoid
the read-modify-write clobber race between concurrent runtimes/windows that a
single shared file would suffer.
- On spawn, record the child (pid, owner pid, port, binary, host runtime).
- On graceful close/restart, delete the record.
- On startup, reap only our own, verified, genuinely-orphaned processes:
recorded by us AND still a live `opencode serve` on the recorded port AND
whose spawner is provably gone (reparented to pid 1, or recorded owner dead).
It never touches a process a live instance is using, the user's standalone
server, the official desktop app, or the TUI.
Wire it into every runtime that spawns the server:
- web/desktop via the OpenCode lifecycle (register on spawn, unregister on
close/restart, reap at startup). The restart-for-config-change flow inherits
this automatically through the same kill/spawn paths.
- VS Code carries a parity implementation (it does not bundle the web package)
that reads/writes the same registry directory and uses the same algorithm.
- Tag the actual host runtime (desktop/web/ssh-remote/vscode) for observability.
Also tighten teardown so the registry stays accurate and orphans die promptly
instead of only on the next start:
- The web server now also handles SIGHUP and SIGUSR2 (terminal close and the
nodemon restart used by dev:server:watch / dev:web:hmr).
- Electron now installs SIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP handlers that run the same
background teardown as a normal quit, covering Ctrl+C on electron:dev.
External OpenCode servers (OPENCODE_SKIP_START) are intentionally excluded: we
never manage or kill processes we did not spawn.
The global event-stream WebSocket opened before a valid oc_url_token was
minted, so the upgrade failed auth ("no valid credentials available") in
packaged builds with a UI password. The resulting reconnect storm churned
the sync store and made session status flicker busy<->idle. Await the URL
auth token before connecting (a WS upgrade can't send a bearer header like
SSE does) and drop a rejected token on pre-ready close so the next attempt
re-mints a fresh one.
Also harden /session/status reconciliation: the watchdog poll is now
monotonic (only confirms/raises active status, never blindly lowers a
busy/retry session to idle on a transient or misscoped snapshot). Idle is
applied only by the authoritative reconnect/escalation resync, which trusts
the live server snapshot as the source of truth. Add a Help -> Toggle
Developer Tools menu item so production builds can open the console.
Packaged desktop showed no sessions in 1.12.4. Root cause: the sanitized
session-list proxy path added in #1538 forwarded the renderer's
"authorization" header (the OpenChamber UI client token) to the managed
OpenCode upstream alongside the managed "Authorization" credential.
OpenCode does not recognize UI client tokens, so every session-list
request answered 401 — only in the packaged app, because only its
renderer (openchamber-ui:// origin) attaches a bearer token; dev web and
dev Electron run same-origin without one. The legacy http-proxy path
overwrote the header correctly, which is why everything except session
lists kept working.
Proxy fix:
- proxy-headers: filter the client "authorization" header out of
forwarded request headers; the OpenCode upstream must only ever see
its own managed credentials. Covered by tests.
Desktop cwd:
- electron: launch the managed OpenCode CLI from the user home instead
of app userData, matching upstream desktop behavior. userData-as-cwd
made OpenCode treat the app-data folder as a separate empty workspace.
Home directory poisoning loop:
- directoryPersistence: stop replaying localStorage homeDirectory
through synchronizeHomeDirectory on boot/auth resync. The persisted
value is only a boot-time cache; replaying it re-wrote stale values
(e.g. a project path) into desktop settings on every start, overriding
the authoritative /api/fs/home resolution.
- persistence: never overwrite an injected window.__OPENCHAMBER_HOME__
with a persisted value.
- useDirectoryStore: host switches happen in place (no reload), so
re-resolve home from the new runtime's /api/fs/home on endpoint
change instead of keeping the previous host's value.
- opencode client: only short-circuit to the injected desktop home when
the active runtime is local; remote runtimes ask /api/fs/home.
Settings hygiene:
- persistSettings: log field names only — change payloads can carry
credentials (UI password, client tokens, tunnel tokens) that must not
reach the log file; drop step-by-step log chatter.
- validateProjectEntries: only stat project paths when the incoming
update actually touches the projects list, not on every settings save.
- remove the write-only approvedDirectories setting everywhere and add
a migration that strips the stale key from persisted settings.
Tests:
- usePluginsStore.test: register an own runtime-fetch module mock so the
suite is independent of process-global mock.module leakage from other
files, and restore globalThis.fetch after the suite.
- persistence.test: clean up the window global created for the suite.
