Sending a message now parks that message near the top of the viewport
and streams the reply into reserved end space below it, instead of
jumping to the bottom and chasing it.
- swap @tanstack/react-virtual for @legendapp/list in the chat timeline; the
streaming tail becomes a normal list row rather than a separately rendered
block, so one component owns the scroll position
- add timelineScrollAnchoring: pure anchored-turn geometry plus the three
scroll modes (following-end / anchoring-new-turn / free-scrolling)
- replace useChatAutoFollow with useChatTimelineScroll, which opts out of
automatic movement on real gestures via a generation counter instead of the
timer windows the old implementation needed to recognise its own writes
- move the load-older button, question/permission cards, recap, status row and
bottom spacer into the list header/footer, since the list owns its container
- extract useScrollShadow so the shadows can attach to that container
maintainScrollAtEnd and maintainVisibleContentPosition replace the manual
prepend anchor-hold and the mobile quiet-window prepend deferral.
Validated: workspace type-check, lint, web build, ui tests per file.
Scroll behaviour itself is unverified and needs manual testing on web, desktop
and iOS.
A new Session tabs group (web/desktop only) turns the header session
tabs off; disabled, the header renders the exact pre-tabs view — plain
session title with meta row and the always-visible session menu (the
same block VS Code uses). The Alt+W close-tab shortcut no-ops while
tabs are off. Registered in settings search with a matching anchor;
labels translated in all locales.
The close-with-neighbour-activation logic moved into a shared helper
(the strip and the shortcut use the same path). Alt+W is the default
because the browser owns Cmd/Ctrl+W on web; desktop users can rebind it
— the action is registered as customizable, so it appears in the
Settings shortcuts section and the shortcuts help automatically. VS
Code is excluded (it has no session tabs).
activeSurface was permanently 'chat' after the legacy mobile layout
removal, so the whole concept is gone: the store field, surfaceGuard,
setActiveSurface/setSurfaceGuard, the per-runtime surface memory in
prepare/restoreForRuntimeSwitch, and WorkspaceSurface itself. All ~30
setActiveSurface('chat') call sites were no-ops and are deleted;
always-true 'is the chat active' checks in keyboard shortcuts, Header
and ChatContainer are unconditional now. FilesView's dirty-file guard
kept its file-switch and close protection but drops the surface-switch
branch nothing could trigger. TerminalView visibility comes only from
its callers. The router keeps parsing legacy ?tab= links (they open the
matching context-panel surface) via its own RouteTab type and no longer
serializes a tab or diff file into URLs — desktop URLs never carried
them anyway.
MainTab/activeMainTab/setActiveMainTab/setMainTabGuard were deprecated
mirrors of the surface names — every call site now uses
activeSurface/setActiveSurface/setSurfaceGuard directly and the aliases
are gone, including the persisted mirror field.
The 'diagram' surface had no way to open it (navigateToDiagram had no
callers except a .drawio attachment click that navigated to a surface
nothing rendered); the surface, DiagramView, and its store plumbing are
removed, and a .drawio attachment now opens in the file panel.
?tab= deep links map to the matching context-panel surface instead of
setting a main-area surface nothing renders, and a persisted non-chat
surface can no longer rehydrate into a blank main area.
* feat(chat): /btw command — side questions in a temporary forked session
/btw <question> forks the current session (full context inheritance) and
opens a compact peek panel docked above the composer. The composer itself
becomes the btw input while the panel is open: sends route to the fork,
the placeholder and a mode chip reflect the target, and the stop button
aborts the fork's turn. Closing the panel (or the chip's ✕) destroys the
fork, leaving the main conversation untouched.
The panel shows only the fork's own tail (messages at/after the fork
creation time) and live permission/question cards scoped to the fork.
- chat/btw/BtwPanel: peek sheet (desktop + mobile), fork-tail view,
auto-close on disappearance, Esc to close
- lib/btw: startBtwSession (fork + rename + routed send), closeBtwPanel
(close = destroy), filterBtwTailMessages
- ChatInput: btw-mode send routing via SendMessageOptions.sessionId,
btw-aware activity (stop/abort), placeholder + mode chip
- useSessionActivity: exported for per-session activity reads
- i18n: btw keys across all 11 locales
* fix(chat): keep btw sends isolated
* refactor(chat): rework /btw into a metadata-scoped peek panel
- Link the active btw fork through the parent session's metadata
(openchamber.btwSessionID) so the panel exists only in the session that
invoked /btw, follows parent navigation, and survives reloads; the fork
carries a kind:'btw' marker with its originalSessionID.
- Replace the wall-clock history boundary with the id of the newest cloned
message (server-generated ascending ids), stored in fork metadata.
- Derive panel identity in useBtwPanelState; useBtwStore shrinks to
transient per-parent UI state (collapsed/creating/destroying).
- Panel UX: dropdown-style glass surface, chat ScrollShadow, single
title+chevron collapse toggle, muted header controls, promote action
(keep as a full session and navigate to it), Esc collapses instead of
destroying, reserved Working indicator row, streaming auto-follow via
ResizeObserver keyed on content readiness.
- Add a 'peek' chat surface mode that suppresses per-message controls and
turn footers inside the panel; user bubbles keep a small gap below.
- Hide btw forks from the sidebar, session switcher, and command palette
until promoted; mark the fork before inserting it into local stores.
- Delete/archive lifecycle: removing the fork unlinks the parent; removing
the parent also removes its temporary fork.
- patchSessionMetadata now mirrors updated sessions into live stores.
- Localize new strings across all 12 dictionaries; add unit tests for
metadata helpers, the btw flow, and the UI store.
* fix(chat): clamp the btw panel below the app header when the keyboard is open
Reuse useMobileAutocompleteMaxHeight (the composer autocomplete precedent)
on the panel's scroll body, reserving the panel header and bottom spacer
height, so the sheet adapts to the visual viewport instead of riding under
the app header on mobile.
* fix(lint): drop unused destructured bindings in sessionBtwMetadata
CI eslint has no underscore ignore pattern; strip metadata keys with typed
copies and delete instead of discard-destructuring.

Picking a project in Settings called setActiveProject, which relocates
the chat, the session list, the file tree and the Git surface. Reading
another project's MCP servers or agents moved the user's whole app.
It had to, because the configuration stores resolved the directory
themselves from the active project and held one flat list. Each of them
now takes an explicit directory — omitted still means the active project,
so every caller outside Settings is unchanged — and keys loaded data by
directory next to a flat mirror of the active project. Chat, autocompletes
and pickers keep reading that mirror; a load for another directory writes
only the map. A failed load restores that directory's previous list.
Settings resolves its own directory through useSettingsDirectory, backed
by a session-local settingsProjectPath that follows the active project
until the user picks something else.
Parakeet is an offline model trained on whole utterances, so re-decoding
the growing buffer to animate a live transcript cost O(n^2) work for a
result the final decode replaced. Sessions now decode once per committed
segment, and the composer shows a scrolling waveform of the mic level
instead of running text.
Long dictations split at a pause once past 60s (hard cap 90s) instead of
on a blind 15s timer, so cuts no longer land mid-word. Committed segments
decode while the user is still speaking: a 185s dictation returns 4.1s
after stop instead of 11.0s, with identical text (816 vs 817 words).
Also fixes two ways the stream manager could silently drop transcribed
audio. It now counts the commits it issued instead of trusting the
session's echoed events, so a commit still in flight when the client
finishes can no longer be left out of the final text. And segment
byte/peak accounting is reset where the commit is issued rather than when
the event arrives, which could mistake the tail of a dictation for
silence and clear it.
Render managed Chats through the shared folder-aware session group and keep folder ownership at the Chats root, including new drafts and older per-directory scopes.
Hide worktree actions for Chats, make worktree shortcuts inert on Chat drafts, and let new-session shortcuts inherit an active session directory while explicit Chats controls still create managed Chat drafts.
Create projectless chat sessions under a managed, date-scoped Chats directory and clean abandoned or deleted session folders.
Add Chats to sidebar state, startup cache, shared context, and Electron Mini Chat while keeping VS Code project-only. Resolve managed chat directories to one server-side memory owner and document the runtime contracts.
The panel stored notes, todos and plans inside one shared JSON file that
six unrelated domains also wrote to, synchronised itself through window
CustomEvents, and could only read plans. It is now Project knowledge:
server-owned storage with explicit routes, a store with rollback, a
section sidebar, plans that open and edit in place, and search across
all of it.
Notes and plans the user pins travel with every message sent in that
project. Pinning is project state, not an attachment to one message, so
it holds until unpinned and the work status panel names what is riding
along and can detach it.
Agent memory is added alongside, in two scopes: what is true about the
user, and what is true about this codebase. The split is not cosmetic —
a wrong project fact costs one project and is noticed, while a wrong
global fact quietly shapes every session everywhere and the user has no
code to check it against. It stays separate from notes so an agent
mistake cannot land in what the user wrote. Sessions receive an index of
titles only; bodies are read on demand, because an index carrying full
text grows until it crowds out the conversation.
Deciding what a session must be told, and whether it has been told, now
lives on the server. The client owned it before, which meant sessions
started without a UI — scheduled tasks, sessions the agent dispatches —
received nothing at all, and a tab's record of what it had sent outlived
the conversation: after compaction the agent no longer held the block
while the tab went on believing it did. What was delivered is recorded
in the session's own metadata, and compaction restores it through the
runtime that already restores pinned messages, in the same turn.
Agent memory ships dark behind OPENCHAMBER_MEMORY_ENABLE: unset, there
is no tool, no routes, no session index, no settings row and no panel
tab. Absent rather than switched off, so nothing invites turning on a
feature that has not been announced. Pinned notes and plans are
unaffected and ship as normal.
Auto-derived project labels were title-cased, turning .ssh into .Ssh and
opencode-claude into Opencode Claude. Show the folder name verbatim in the
sidebar, window title, settings selector and notification templates, and
migrate persisted legacy labels back to the folder name (manual renames
are preserved).

No runner executed packages/ui, so these drifted from the source unnoticed:

* test: stop the web suite failing on timeouts and a hand-copied mock
The Git suites drive a real git binary, so the 5s default made a valid suite

which the added shared-UI aliases make resolvable.

* test: run every suite from one command and in CI
packages/ui (232 files) and packages/vscode (22) had no test script at all, CI
ran neither, and 9 vscode files could never run because Node cannot resolve
their extensionless TypeScript imports. Three electron files sat outside every
script list, one of them importing vitest, which that package does not depend
on. A runner gives each file its own process, since these suites keep
module-level singletons and fail by load order when sharing one.

The issue-2638 harness needed lsof, overrode process.platform and spawned real

convert-vscode-theme and harmonize-theme were referenced nowhere, so the

The queue auto-send gate treated a missing session status entry as idle,
but the server's /session/status map only lists busy/retry sessions — a
missed busy event leaves no entry while a turn is still streaming. On a
client that missed the busy event (e.g. mobile reconnect window), queued
follow-ups were dispatched into the running turn; OpenCode then merged
both prompts into one model response instead of serializing them.
Extract resolveQueuedSessionStatusType and mirror useSessionActivity's
fallback: a trailing in-flight assistant message means the session is
still busy, so the queue waits for the real idle edge. Subscribe the
effect to messages so the queue drains as soon as the turn completes
even when status events were missed.
The spinner ran a CSS animation on every active row for the whole turn,
repainting a composited layer at frame rate. Rows now carry a static dot —
primary while running, info while unread — and the metadata slot on the right
shows how long the turn has been going, updating once per second in the dot's
colour. The counter is the motion the spinner used to provide, at 1 fps.
Collapsed groups, folders and projects take the dot only, since one counter
cannot speak for several running turns.
Elapsed time is measured client-side because SessionStatus carries no
timestamps, and starts are persisted so a reload resumes the same count. Two
rules keep that honest. Only a liveness stamp — refreshed while a session is
observed active, stamped as the page hides, and compared against the page's
navigation start so a slow bootstrap is not charged to the absence — and a 90s
adoption window may expire a record; a snapshot that cannot yet see a session
is not evidence its turn ended. And a busy event is never read as a turn
boundary, because OpenCode republishes busy at every step of the agent loop, so
after a reload one of those repeats normally beats the first status snapshot.
Idle and error events do end a turn, and retire the record with it.
Snapshot reconciliation walks the running turns and asks whether the snapshot
covers each one, rather than being handed everything it covers: only a live
start can settle, so the pass scales with timing work instead of with the
directory's session list, and allocates nothing per poll.
Also applied to the mobile sessions sheet and session switcher. The shared
duration ticker moves to hooks/ now that it has a second consumer.
- Add switch_context_surface shortcut (default Cmd/Ctrl + 1..9, 0 for the 10th
surface) that opens/closes/switches context panel rail surfaces by their
visible order, configurable and persisted in Settings -> Shortcuts.
- Show order-number badges on rail icons while the modifier is held >500ms;
dismiss on release, blur, or a number press until the next press-and-hold.
- Remove the legacy mod+2/3/4 (diff/terminal/git) and switch_tab_1..9 bindings
so numbered surface switching goes only through the new mechanism.
- Replace the help-dialog 'Switch Project' row with the surface-switch row and
update the shortcuts footer/header icons to the command icon.
A queued message is removed from the queue only after its send resolves,
so between dispatch and resolution it stays visible to every reader — and
a composer submit merges the whole queue into its own send. Over a relay
that window is seconds, long enough to deliver the same message twice.
The queue now tracks which entries are awaiting the server. Dispatchers
skip them, clearQueue retains them so the pending send can still remove
or restore its own entry, and the flag is not persisted because a restart
has no in-flight sends.
Bind mod+l to append the current selection into the chat composer
(Cursor-style), and move session sidebar toggle to mod+alt+l so desktop
menus stay in sync. Closes#208.

Session directory resolution had no precedence contract: the selection-time
directory short-circuited every lookup, and a persisted runtime value was
consulted before the authoritative record. A worktree session selected before
its directory store bootstrapped kept the active-directory fallback, and that
guess was persisted, so it survived reloads and restarts.
Directory resolution now lives in one module and orders sources by whether the
server confirmed the path, not by whether the value is local or synced:
authoritative (the child store that holds the session) > server-confirmed
selection > worktree attachment/metadata (the requested path, pre-canonical) >
remembered. A guessed selection is no longer persisted, remembered, or ranked.
Chips read the same resolution the composer used, so queue keys cannot diverge.
Queued auto-send could strand an item indefinitely: backoff, missing send
configuration, and the recent-abort window all returned without scheduling a
wake-up, so the queue only retried when an unrelated status or directory change
re-ran the effect. A retry scheduler now wakes it at the earliest known time.
A rejected send rolls the optimistic message back while the composer stays
silent for transport failures, which makes it indistinguishable from nothing
happening. Failures are now recorded to a bounded in-memory log surfaced in the
About diagnostics report, alongside a directory-resolution breakdown, plus
__opencodeDebug.diagnoseSessionDirectory() and getRecentSendFailures().
Prompted by a report of worktree prompting silently failing. That failure was
not reproduced locally, so the diagnostics are what will identify it.
* perf: optimize session loading and startup
* fix(chat): stabilize history prepend virtualization
* perf: unblock first session open from startup network contention
Opening the first session after app start waited seconds for its message
fetch. Three independent contributors, each measured via CDP network
capture and Chromium net-log against the packaged desktop app:
- The active-session watchdog fired an uncapped per-directory status poll
and child-session discovery burst at startup, and other subsystems
(git checks, global session pages, command/skill discovery) fanned out
alongside it, saturating the browser's ~6 HTTP/1.1 sockets per origin.
Add a shared background-network gate (concurrency 3) and route the
watchdog, poll-shaped git reads (also priority: low), global session
pages, command/skill loads, and the background update check through it.
- The packaged renderer is cross-origin to the loopback backend, so every
API call needs a CORS preflight; a few slow OpenCode-proxied requests
held the whole pool while preflights and interactive traffic queued
behind them. Lift Chromium's per-host connection cap for loopback via
ignore-connections-limit in the Electron shell.
- OpenCode initializes each directory lazily on its first request, so the
first click paid that cost interactively. Warm the last-used directory
and the three most recently opened projects right after OpenCode
readiness, sequentially and best-effort, overlapping UI startup.
Validation: new background-network tests, lifecycle warmup test, focused
store/sync tests, UI type-check and lint, dead-code report, node --check
plus electron type-check/lint, and CDP first-open measurements on the
packaged app (message fetch socket queue 5.4s -> 0.03s).

- Promote pull request to its own rail surface with shared repo context
- Move update-branch and re-integrate flows into separate dialogs
- Add PR status chip and repo actions menu to the git header row
- Seed new PR-status entries from resolved sibling remotes to avoid
a false "checking status" state when the PR is already known
- History/graph dialog refresh button, fingerprint global identity icon,
muted outline folder icons follow-ups
* feat(ui): progressive-disclosure PR surface with live checks and pinned chat context
- Segment the PR surface into Overview / Checks / Comments pill tabs with
live badges; merge controls move to the status row
- Live checks segment: progress bar, per-run rows with workflow names,
elapsed timers, expandable failures, auto-refresh while pending
- PR comments and failed checks pin as chat-context drafts (like terminal
selections) instead of sending an immediate message; works on new-session
drafts too
- Shared prContext cache client+server, ETag conditional requests in the
octokit wrapper (304s bypass rate limits), extended checks aggregate
(inProgress/queued/startedAt)
- Resolve gh-CLI auth login for merge-permission checks
- Full-width description editor with matched control heights
* fix(ui): single source of truth for PR checks and status readers
- Derive the checks aggregate from the visible run list and sync it into
the PR-status store so bar, badges, header, and git-view chip agree
- Route PR body hydration through the shared context cache
- Git-view PR chip reads the freshest entry across remote keys
* fix(github): freshness stamps prevent stale cache responses from regressing PR state
- pr/status and pulls/context responses carry a server-side fetchedAt that
survives cache serves
- The status store rejects responses older than the held snapshot (only
clearing the loading flag), and the checks sync adopts the context's
stamp so stale status polls cannot flip fresher derived checks
- Regression test for the stale-response guard
* perf(github): repo-level pull-list cache collapses per-branch PR resolution
- One pulls.list per repo per state per 45s answers every branch (10
worktrees = 1 call, not 10 query fans); in-flight fetches coalesce
- A complete repo list makes a no-PR miss authoritative, skipping the
per-owner head queries AND the Search API fallback (the 30/min killer)
- force refresh bypasses the repo list cache; PR create/merge/ready
invalidate it
* perf(github): back off Search API misses per repo+branch
A branch without a PR re-searched on every poll; with >100 closed PRs the
list miss is never authoritative, so the search fallback still ran and
burned the 30/min search quota. Remember misses for 10 minutes; PR
creation clears remembered misses for the repo.
* fix(github): dedupe re-run check runs to the latest per (app, name)
listForRef returns the superseded completed run alongside its re-run;
GitHub's UI shows only the latest per name. Mirror that in both pr/status
and pulls/context so counts and run lists match github.com.
* fix(ui): address review findings on registry test, surface docs, and PR-context keys
- Rail-order test asserts against the registry itself (was stale after the
'pr' surface landed and failed)
- surfaces DOCUMENTATION.md describes actual behavior: has-content surfaces
hide until content exists; only multi-instance/terminal panes are
keep-alive, singleton surfaces remount and restore from stores
- PR-context cache keys are runtime-scoped JSON tuples; invalidation
compares the directory exactly instead of by string prefix (+ test)
* fix(ui): wrap long unbreakable tokens in check-run details
Annotation messages with long SHAs/URLs overflowed the panel; break-words
on annotation title/message/rawDetails and output summary/text, and the
expanded run body clips instead of widening the panel.
* fix(ui): busy state for context-attach buttons and honest attach labels
- 'Attach failed checks' / 'Attach all to chat' show a spinner and disable
while the context request runs (previously nothing happened for seconds)
- Action labels/tooltips reworded from send-to-agent to attach-to-chat
semantics across all locales
* fix(i18n): Ukrainian attach wording uses 'прикріпити' with proper cases
* fix(ui): runtime-scope PR-view remote caches, correct surfaces doc on preview
- Remote/remote-url caches in PullRequestView are keyed by runtime +
directory so a backend switch never serves another runtime's remotes
- surfaces DOCUMENTATION.md: preview is not keep-alive; preview tabs
remount on switch like singleton surfaces
* fix(ui): rail active color, clearer collapse icon, remove dead bottom-terminal dock
Design-review feedback on the context panel:
- Context rail: icons enlarged 16px -> 18px; the active surface is now
highlighted with the primary color only (no background, no scale
animation), replacing the previous scale-up effect that read as a
resize rather than a selected state.
- Files tree: the icon-only 'collapse all folders' toolbar button now
uses collapse-vertical instead of contract-up-down, which was easily
mistaken for a close button. The labelled 'Collapse all' dropdown item
in the session sidebar keeps its icon since text removes the ambiguity.
- Terminal: removed the leftover bottom-dock expand/close buttons that
rendered in the context-panel terminal but controlled a dock that no
longer exists (nothing toggles it anymore), so the expand button
appeared to do nothing and duplicated the panel-header fullscreen
control. Cleaned up the entire inert layer with it: four useUIStore
fields (isBottomTerminalOpen/Expanded, bottomTerminalHeight,
hasManuallyResizedBottomTerminal), five actions, their persistence,
the MainLayout resize listener that only served the dock height, the
dock-driven refit effect in TerminalView, and the
terminalView.bottomDock.* keys across all 10 locale dictionaries.
Validated: ui type-check and lint clean; messages parity test (2 pass)
and useUIStore contextPanel test (13 pass) green; icon sprite
regenerated via icons:generate.
* refactor: use PR visual state for git header icon
Derives the pull request icon color from a single visual state
Covers merged, closed, draft, blocked, and open PR states
Removes conditional class handling from the git header icon
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.

Sync updated boot-outcome init scripts to all BrowserWindows after
desktop_hosts_set, and prefer state.initScript on dom-ready so chooser
reloads inject local/ok instead of a stale not-configured outcome.

* fix(desktop): restore Linux AppImage updater feed and error UX (#2396)
Treat missing latest-linux*.yml (404) as no update available instead of a
hard failure, and stop swallowing updater capability/download errors in the
desktop bridge so About/sidebar can show actionable messages.

Session lists now promote a conversation when it starts working and again when it settles, instead of reacting to every streaming timestamp update. This keeps ordering responsive without bringing back the sidebar churn removed by the recent performance work.
Apply the same user-visible order across Recent, project and worktree groups, session switchers, mobile navigation, widgets, the command palette, and the desktop tray. Preserve pinned priority, freeze timestamp fallback ordering, and keep child-session activity scoped to siblings under the same parent so it never moves the root conversation.
Seed reconnect snapshots without synthetic jumps, clear ephemeral ranks on deletion and runtime changes, and cover lifecycle transitions, mixed root/child trees, metadata-only updates, and project-group ordering with regression tests.
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.
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
- Working indicator shows provider icon and model name with the live
status (e.g. 'Fable 5 is reading file'), localized via
chat.statusRow.modelStatus
- Pin auto-follow to the exact fractional scroll maximum and re-pin on
every passive follow instead of skipping within tolerance
- Round message text line-height to whole pixels so streamed content
grows on the pixel grid; kills the 1px vertical jitter of
bottom-anchored rows during streaming
Replace the legacy terminal flow with a shared authenticated WebSocket
runtime used across web, desktop, relay, and mobile surfaces.
- introduce the v3 terminal protocol with scoped attachments, snapshots,
ordered output, bounded replay history, reconnects, and explicit lifecycle
- harden PTY creation, restart, resize, close, force-kill, idle cleanup,
shell selection, login mode, environment sanitization, and appearance sync
- add runtime-aware terminal APIs with relay authentication and Electron parity
- add a fullscreen mobile terminal workspace with touch scrolling,
long-press selection, safe-area controls, quick keys, and Ctrl/Alt input
- add terminal selection attachments, preview detection, project actions,
shell settings, and localized UI
- harden Ghostty rendering, resize recovery, Unicode handling, block
characters, line height, and stale-row behavior
- remove the obsolete terminal SSE path and update reverse-proxy guidance
- expand terminal runtime, transport, input, selection, and store coverage
- avoid duplicate web builds when preparing mobile assets in root CI builds
* feat(chat): add desktop prompt navigator rail
Add a ChatGPT-style right-center prompt marker rail for web/desktop chat
with hover/keyboard preview panel, load-more for partial history (panel only),
Chat setting, and mod+alt+p shortcut. Disabled in VS Code across rail,
shortcut, settings, help, and search surfaces.

* fix(ui): read promptNavigatorEnabled from getState in shortcut handler
Match the file convention used by other shortcut handlers so the toggle
does not rely on a hook-level selector closure.

* fix(ui): drop use-no-memo and default prompt navigator off
Remove the project-unprecedented React Compiler opt-out, and ship the
prompt navigator as opt-in to match other recent chat UI toggles.

* feat(electron): add Linux AppImage releases
* ci: cache Linux OpenCode CLI artifacts
* fix(ci): await Linux release inventory check
* fix(electron): add frameless window controls on Linux desktop
Linux AppImages were created without native WM decorations and without
in-app controls, leaving users unable to close the window with a mouse.
Treat Linux like Windows: frameless BrowserWindow plus the existing
WindowsWindowControls header buttons and app-menu entry. macOS keeps
hidden title bar with traffic lights unchanged.
Shared usesFramelessElectronChrome() helper drives main window, mini
chat, header insets, and titlebar controls.
Co-authored-by: Serhii Dziupin <makeittech@users.noreply.github.com>
* feat(desktop): add configurable window controls position by OS
Add desktopWindowControlsPosition setting (auto/left/right) with OS-aware
defaults: Linux left, Windows right. Wire frameless chrome controls in
Header, TitlebarLeftControls, and MiniChatLayout, plus a Sessions settings
control for Windows and Linux desktop shells.
Co-authored-by: Serhii Dziupin <makeittech@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix(desktop): address Linux AppImage release review findings
Propagate updater capability errors to the UI, treat missing
latest-linux.yml feeds as no-update, stop installed-apps IPC spam on
Linux, document FUSE/AppImage limits, add CHANGELOG entry, migrate
remaining btriapitsyn URLs, and run Electron Linux unit tests on PRs.

Compaction fixes (observed in a real long run):
- the summary message's zeroed tokens froze the goal counter at its
pre-compaction value; segments now close with the previously displayed
total as a continuity floor
- audits and continuations after a summary tail now take execution params
(provider/model/agent/variant) from the newest non-summary assistant
turn instead of inheriting agent 'compaction' and the summarize model
File-backed objectives:
- the objective text lives in <data-dir>/goals/<sessionId>.md, keyed by
session id (one goal per session, a new goal overwrites the file);
metadata carries only an objectiveFile flag so session.updated fanout
stays light, and never a path — ids are pattern-validated before any
filesystem access
- limit raised to 5000 chars, no snapshot field: the UI fetches content
via PUT/GET/DELETE /api/goals/objective/:sessionId (behind the blanket
/api auth gate), writes the file before stamping metadata, and falls
back to an inline objective when the write fails
- the loop reads the file fresh on every tick, so objectives are
live-editable mid-goal; a missing file falls back to the inline text
- scheduled goal tasks write the objective file server-side; VS Code
degrades to the audit note (route unavailable there by design)
Arm the target button in the composer and the next prompt becomes a goal:
the server keeps the session working toward it (idle tick -> small-model
audit -> continuation) until the objective is verifiably complete, blocked,
or out of budget — even with the UI closed.
Server (packages/web/server/lib/session-goal):
- event-driven loop on the global SSE hub; goal state lives in
session.metadata.openchamber.goal (merge-safe patches, stale-write guard
by goal id), so it survives restarts and syncs to every client for free
- the small-model audit (objective + last assistant turn only, language
pinned to the objective) is the sole termination authority; blocked needs
3 consecutive verdicts, audit outages tolerate one unaudited continuation
then stop the goal as resumable-blocked
- hard stops: optional token budget, auto-continuation cap (Resume grants a
fresh allowance), turn errors; user abort pauses the goal instead of
blocking it, and resuming over an aborted tail nudges immediately
- token accounting as a snapshot of the latest turn (input + cache.read +
output), goal-relative via a creation baseline and segmented across
compactions; a compaction summary skips the audit and continues
- continuations reuse the session's own provider/model/agent/variant
UI:
- three-mode target button (arm / disarm / manage dialog), informational
goal strip with inline pause/resume and an Evaluating indicator, sidebar
state glyph, objective length counter (2000-char server clamp),
read-only completed goals
- goal entry points: composer (sessions and drafts), start-new-session-
from-answer dialog, plan implement dialog (plan content becomes the
objective), scheduled tasks (Run as goal + budget)
- Settings -> Chat -> Goal: feature toggle + default token budget with
three-layer parity (web server, client persistence, VS Code bridge);
VS Code renders goal state but hides the entry points (the loop runs in
the web server only)
Notifications: per-turn "ready" notifications are suppressed while a goal
is active; settling sends one final notification (desktop, web-push, APNs
generic titles with the session name as body) honoring the completion
toggle. Error/question/permission notifications are untouched.
Docs: user guide (session-goals) in all 9 locales + sidebar entry,
scheduled-tasks cross-reference, server module DOCUMENTATION.md.
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.
Keep the browser pane loaded URL separate from the in-frame current URL so SPA navigation updates the address bar and history without remounting the iframe or resetting the Electron webview src.
Preserve parsed ?session= route params during initial URL normalization and pass a directory hint when applying deep links, preventing embedded OpenChamber sessions from collapsing back to / while bootstrap catches up.
