Adds a reusable mobile release workflow call from the release pipeline
Passes version, build number, and release tag into Android artifact publishing
Tightens release workflow shell quoting and version handling
Complete rebuild of voice input on a server-authoritative streaming
architecture, replacing the legacy Web Speech / whole-blob / WASM engines
and the dead voice-agent layer (~4k lines removed).
Speech-to-text (dictation):
- Client streams 16 kHz mono PCM16 chunks over /api/dictation/ws with
seq/ack ordering; buffered audio is retained and replayed on reconnect
- Server transcribes and streams live partial transcripts back;
segments auto-commit every ~15s with silence suppression and adaptive
finalization timeouts
- Local provider (default, zero config): sherpa-onnx models in a forked
worker process — auto-download with progress, staged extraction with
verification, corrupt-model auto-recovery, idle shutdown after 5 min
- Model catalog with settings picker (accuracy/speed ratings, sizes,
download/delete): Parakeet TDT v2 (English) and v3 (25 European
languages, auto-detected), Whisper base and tiny (multilingual, light)
- OpenAI-compatible provider for any Whisper endpoint
- Composer overlay with live transcript, volume meter, timer, and
cancel / insert / insert-and-send actions; failed transcriptions keep
their audio for retry or accepting the partial text as-is
- Configurable keyboard shortcut (default mod+alt+v) toggles dictation;
Enter confirms and Escape cancels while recording
- Overlay is pixel-aligned with the composer (measured footer height,
matching paddings/typography/gaps) — no layout shift when toggling
Text-to-speech:
- Local Kokoro provider (English, 11 voices) synthesized in the same
worker via /api/dictation/tts/speak, managed by the shared model
pipeline; sentence-pipelined playback keeps time-to-first-audio at
~1 sentence regardless of message length, and stop cancels in-flight
synthesis
- Sanitizer keeps inline-code content (strips backticks only), reads
interword slashes aloud, and removes only absolute file paths
Settings:
- Voice page unified: a single read-aloud toggle owns all playback
options (the confusing "Enable Voice Mode" is gone); a new "Enable
voice input" toggle (default on, persisted to settings.json) hides
the composer mic entirely when disabled
Mobile and transport:
- iOS/Android microphone permissions added (dictation was previously
impossible on mobile)
- Fixed Android WebSocket upgrades: the Capacitor WebView origin
(https://localhost) was missing from the packaged-client allowlist,
403-ing every WS connection — root cause of the old mobile SSE lock,
which is now removed for all transports
Security and conventions:
- All HTTP routes sit behind the global /api auth gate; the WS upgrade
explicitly validates the UI session and origin, with oc_url_token
narrowly allowlisted and covered by tests; the dictation socket mints
a fresh URL token before connecting
- Routes register before the generic OpenCode proxy; the client goes
through runtimeFetch/getRuntimeUrlResolver, and runtime switches
reset the dictation socket
- VS Code deliberately reports dictation as unavailable (no server
process in that runtime)
CI: workflow Node bumped 20 -> 22 to match the repo engines and fix
better-sqlite3 installs broken by node-gyp@latest on Node 20.
New dependency: sherpa-onnx-node (prebuilt N-API; macOS/Linux x64+arm64,
Windows x64 — Windows-on-ARM falls back to the OpenAI-compatible provider)
The release workflow reads the pinned @opencode-ai/sdk version with bash command-substitution syntax before caching the bundled OpenCode CLI artifact. On Windows jobs GitHub Actions defaults run steps to PowerShell, which treated VERSION= as a command and failed before the cache/build steps ran.
Set shell: bash on the release workflow version-discovery steps so macOS and Windows use the same syntax. The smoke workflow already used bash for the Windows version step, which is why the smoke artifact could pass while the production Windows release job failed.
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.
Adds label-merge-conflict workflow using eps1lon/actions-label-merge-conflict
to label PRs with merge-conflict:true when they have conflicts. Triggers on
push to main, pull_request_target (opened/synchronize/reopened), and manual
dispatch. Uses the bot app token for label writes and is scoped to the
openchamber/openchamber repo.

* feat(electron): scaffold Electron desktop package
Main + preload + ssh manager, packaging scripts, icons, root build/lint/type-check wiring.
* feat(ui): add Electron runtime detection and desktopNative facade
isElectronShell via window.__OPENCHAMBER_ELECTRON__, isDesktopShell now covers both. desktopNative wraps window/title/theme calls so UI avoids direct Tauri imports. revealDesktopPath added.
* refactor(ui): route window/title/theme/export through desktopNative
SessionSidebar, MultiRunLauncher, useWindowTitle, ThemeSystemContext, exportSession drop direct @tauri-apps imports.
* refactor(ui): treat all desktop shells uniformly
device.ts switches Tauri-only checks to isDesktopShell. Header OpenInApp button uses actionDirectory so it falls back to the active project path.
* fix(ui): menu Copy clipboard fallback and softer sidebar tint
useMenuActions falls back to Clipboard API for the native Copy action when the page doesn't intercept. cssGenerator lowers sidebar strong/soft alpha so the tinted surface reads gentler.
* chore(electron): mirror Tauri build/type-check script shape
build script becomes no-op so root 'bun run build' skips packaging. Syntax validation (node --check) moves into type-check. electron:build root script still runs full sidecar+bundle+electron-builder.
* fix(electron): sync app identity, preload path, boot outcome, dev entry
Read version from packages/electron/package.json so 'electron ./main.mjs' dev entry reports the app version instead of Electron's. Bump electron package to 1.9.6 for workspace parity.
Resolve preload via app.getAppPath() in prod (bundle lives in dist-bundle while preload.mjs ships at app root).
Compute and inject __OPENCHAMBER_DESKTOP_BOOT_OUTCOME__ in main + preload so the loading gate dismisses (mirrors Tauri Rust injection).
Dev entry uses ./main.mjs to bypass the stale dist-bundle so source edits apply.
* refactor(open-in-app): split directory and file flows
Header button now opens the project/worktree directory only — drop activeFilePath prop and its Header prop passthrough. FilesView editor dropdown opens the active file only via new openDesktopFileInApp.
Electron main.mjs mirrors Tauri's open-chain logic: buildOpenProjectSpecs (finder/terminal direct, vscode-like via CLI -n, JetBrains via open -na --args) and buildOpenFileSpecs (finder -R reveal, terminal opens parent dir, editors via CLI or open -a). runSpecChain falls through specs until one exits 0.
* fix(files-view): keep floating toolbar mounted while its dropdowns are open
Portalled Base UI menu popups render outside floatingToolbarRef. The document mousedown listener and onMouseLeave collapsed the toolbar as soon as the popup appeared, unmounting the DropdownMenu root and swallowing clicks on its items. Track open dropdowns via onOpenChange and skip the collapse while count > 0; also ignore mousedowns that land inside a dropdown-menu-content/item.
* feat(electron): add quit confirmation with risk poller
Mirrors Tauri's macOS-only behavior: poll /api/openchamber/scheduled-tasks/status and /api/openchamber/tunnel/status every 5s. If active tunnel or running/enabled scheduled tasks are detected, Cmd+Q / dock Quit / menu Quit shows a native warning dialog listing reasons; otherwise quit proceeds silently.
performConfirmedQuit persists window state, kills sidecar, shuts down SSH, and fires a 1500ms unref'd safety timeout that calls app.exit(0) if the normal quit sequence stalls.
* feat(notifications): fix payload parsing, restore-on-click, session deep-link
Normalize input so both sidecar stdout path (flat) and UI IPC path ({ payload: {...} }) work; previous destructuring missed requireHidden (camelCase) and the payload wrapper so notifications showed with empty body.
Click handler restores the window if minimized, shows it if hidden, and focuses. When the notification payload carries sessionId, emit openchamber:open-session which the App listener routes to setCurrentSession — matches the PWA service-worker deep-link behavior. macOS notifications now also use sound 'Glass' for parity with Tauri.
* chore(electron): bump to Electron 41 + latest updater/context-menu
electron ^38.2.0 -> ^41.2.1
electron-updater ^6.6.2 -> ^6.8.3
electron-context-menu ^4.0.4 -> ^4.1.2
Dev boot verified: main process starts, preload exposes globals, API server + quit risk poller + autoUpdater all initialize without errors.
* fix: keep todo row alignment stable when expanding text
Keep checkbox and action buttons vertically centered in collapsed todo rows
Prevent first todo line from shifting when expanding to multiple lines
* fix: make commit highlights visible and input behavior reliable
Switch commit message field to native textarea for predictable auto-resize
Fix AI highlights append flow so inserted text is applied consistently
Make chat scroll-to-bottom control fully circular
* style: increase chat bubble corner radius consistency
Use larger radius for user chat message bubbles
Match chat input container radius to user message styling
* feat(electron): adopt OpenCode playbook improvements
mac: hardenedRuntime + entitlements.mac.plist + notarize + dmg.sign for Apple notarization parity.
single-instance lock + openchamber:// protocol with session/project/host routing (host switch done fully in main via activateMainWindow).
setAppUserModelId for Win toast identity; proxy-bypass-list switch; chdir(homedir) for Finder-launch cwd safety.
shell env probe (\$SHELL -il -> -l) merged into sidecar spawn; PATH deduped.
electron-log with 5MB rotation + 7-day cleanup; autoUpdater.logger wired; startup info log.
webContents zoom locked to 1 (zoom-changed + did-finish-load).
UI: openchamber:open-project -> useDirectoryStore.setDirectory.
* fix(electron): make bootOutcome mutable across re-navigation + project deep-link
host deep-link used to land on chooser because contextBridge exposed bootOutcome as read-only; initScript re-assignment became a silent no-op. drop preload's contextBridge for bootOutcome, inject it via main-world initScript, and move injection from did-finish-load to dom-ready so it lands before React mounts.
project deep-link updated currentDirectory only; activeProjectId stayed stale so the sidebar didn't highlight the new project. switch to projectsStore.setActiveProject (or addProject for new paths) which updates both.
add log.info around deep-link dispatch + host switch for diagnostics.
* fix(electron): desktop_hosts_set IPC args + persist initialHostChoiceCompleted + re-eval bootOutcome
UI calls invoke('desktop_hosts_set', { input: {...} }) but main was reading args.config — every onboarding 'i've completed installation' / host-dialog save wrote nothing, so desktopDefaultHostId stayed null and the chooser screen looped forever.
also:
- writeDesktopHostsConfig now persists desktopInitialHostChoiceCompleted so the tauri-compat flag survives writes.
- readDesktopHostsConfig returns initialHostChoiceCompleted so the UI-side config mirror is complete.
- after writing hosts, recompute state.bootOutcome + state.initScript; a subsequent window.location.reload() picks up target=local/status=ok via dom-ready injection without needing a full app restart.
- app.setName('OpenChamber') early (pre log.initialize) so electron-log logs land in ~/Library/Logs/OpenChamber/ instead of the package-derived '@openchamber/electron' path.
* chore(electron): rename appId to dev.openchamber.desktop
ai.opencode.* is the OpenCode team's reverse-DNS namespace; OpenChamber should not squat there. now that we're on Electron, drop the tauri-era inherited identifier and claim our own under openchamber.dev.
user-facing productName stays "OpenChamber". tauri identifier left as-is — legacy shell on the way out.
* feat(ci): add electron build+notarize+publish jobs to release workflow
three new jobs in release.yml, running in parallel with tauri:
- build-desktop-electron-macos: matrix(arm64, x86_64) on macos-26; installs Developer ID via keychain, runs build:sidecar + bundle:main + electron-builder --mac --arch <> --publish=never (with APPLE_ID / APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD / APPLE_TEAM_ID env mapped from existing secrets). verifies hardened runtime, stapled notary ticket, required entitlements. uploads DMG/ZIP/blockmaps to the release and emits per-arch latest-mac.yml as a GH artifact.
- combine-electron-manifests: downloads latest-yml-*-apple-darwin artifacts, runs the existing finalize-latest-yml.mjs to merge per-arch files entries into a single latest-mac.yml, uploads combined yml to the release.
- finalize-release: now also waits on the two new jobs before flipping the draft release to published.
also: explicit artifactName in electron-builder config so arm64 and x64 dmg/zip never collide.
electron-updater in main.mjs (setFeedURL btriapitsyn/openchamber) fetches this latest-mac.yml on desktop_check_for_updates; downloadUpdate / quitAndInstall wire through our existing IPC handlers unchanged.
* docs: future-agent brief for tauri -> electron auto-update cutover
self-contained plan for the one-shot migration release that carries existing tauri installs into the electron shell via tauri's updater. written so a fresh agent with no branch context can execute it.
covers: the trick (repackage signed electron .app as a tauri tarball, minisign with existing TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY), workflow surgery on release.yml, rollback plan, validation steps against a real tauri install, and edge cases (CFBundleIdentifier change, notification perms re-prompt, deep-link re-registration).
* docs: soften framing of cutover playbook (no user-shaming)
* chore: mark electron as primary desktop shell; tune dmg installer window
AGENTS.md: explicit note that new desktop work lands in packages/electron/, packages/desktop/ (tauri) is maintenance-only until the cutover described in docs/TAURI_TO_ELECTRON_CUTOVER.md. updated runtime/entry-points/build-commands sections accordingly.
electron/package.json build.dmg: cleaner title ("OpenChamber 1.9.6" without -arch suffix), 660x400 window matching the tauri layout users are used to, icon size 128, explicit app/Applications positions.
* refactor(web): drop bun-specific runtime deps from server
- 11 test files migrated bun:test -> vitest; API (describe/it/expect) is drop-in; all 73 tests pass under vitest run.
- bun:sqlite -> better-sqlite3 in git/service.js::syncSandboxesToOpenCodeDb. api shift is db.query().get()/run() -> db.prepare().get()/run().
- add "test": "vitest run" script in packages/web.
no production code used Bun.* APIs; server is Express-on-Node already. this commit removes the remaining bun-runtime shape so the server module can be imported and booted inside an electron main process.
* feat(electron): boot web server in-process, drop sidecar subprocess
the electron main process now imports @openchamber/web/server/index.js as a workspace dependency and calls startWebUiServer({...}) directly. the returned handle exposes getPort() / stop() and the notification emitter takes an onDesktopNotification callback, so we no longer spawn a bun-compiled sidecar binary and no longer parse stdout for the one-line notify protocol.
- packages/electron/package.json: +@openchamber/web (workspace:*); extraResources drops 'sidecar'; build:sidecar script renamed to build:web-assets (kept the vite build step, dropped the bun compile step).
- packages/electron/main.mjs: remove spawn/kill-stale-sidecar/sidecar path resolver/stdout-prefix parser; rewrite spawnLocalServer to probe a free port (stored | DEFAULT_DESKTOP_PORT | OS-assigned) then import server and await startWebUiServer; killSidecar calls handle.stop({ exitProcess: false }); hoist user shell env (PATH, etc.) onto process.env once so opencode / git / rg children still inherit the expected runtime environment.
- packages/web/server/lib/notifications/emitter-runtime.js: accept an onDesktopNotification callback (late-bindable via setOnDesktopNotification). when set, notifications are dispatched through the callback instead of process.stdout; tauri path still uses stdout when no callback is bound.
- packages/web/server/index.js: main() wires options.onDesktopNotification to notificationEmitterRuntime.setOnDesktopNotification.
- release.yml + AGENTS.md updated for the new script name + runtime shape.
payoff: -300ms cold start on mac, single process in activity monitor, no stdio IPC, no bun binary in the packaged app. tauri sidecar path is untouched.
* build(electron): rebuild native deps explicitly, bump electron-builder
the previous build failed because electron-builder 24.13.3 tried to run \`bun rebuild\` on native deps (better-sqlite3, node-pty) and bun has no rebuild subcommand; it also couldn't find prebuild-install because bun hoists under node_modules/.bun/<pkg>@<ver>/ and never populates node_modules/.bin for transitive deps.
fix:
- bump electron-builder devDep to ^26, whose packageManager detection understands bun workspace layouts.
- add @electron/rebuild devDep + scripts/rebuild-native.mjs. the script rebuilds better-sqlite3 / node-pty / bun-pty against the installed electron version before electron-builder is invoked.
- set build.npmRebuild=false so electron-builder no longer attempts its own broken PM-based rebuild.
- package script: build:web-assets -> bundle:main -> rebuild:native -> electron-builder.
verified: CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false bun run electron:build produces signed-ad-hoc dmg/zip/blockmap/latest-mac.yml; artifacts land under packages/electron/dist as expected. cold-start from Applications should work (native bindings now match electron 41 node ABI).
* fix(electron): externalize web server + native deps from main bundle
the ESM bundle was statically inlining @openchamber/web transitively, which pulled in bun-pty/src/terminal.ts with its top-level \`import { dlopen } from "bun:ffi"\`. node's ESM loader parses every static import when the bundle loads, so the bun:ffi scheme crashed the packaged app at startup with ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME — the runtime guard (if (globalThis.Bun) { await import('bun-pty') }) never got a chance to skip it.
fix: bundle-main.mjs marks @openchamber/web (+ its bun-pty / node-pty / better-sqlite3 transitives) as external. the dynamic \`await import('@openchamber/web/server/index.js')\` in main.mjs stays a runtime resolution; the conditional bun-pty import stays dynamic; native modules load from node_modules via the standard resolver.
* perf(web): classify UI-only deps as devDependencies, shrink packaged app
packages/web is a hybrid package: server code in server/, react UI source in src/, compiled UI output in dist/. the server serves dist/ as static files — it never imports react/radix/codemirror/etc. at runtime. but electron-builder, npm install, and similar tools treat everything under "dependencies" as shipping surface, so all of react + @radix-ui/* + @codemirror/* + @fontsource/* + @simplewebauthn/browser + cmdk + ghostty-web + ... were landing in app.asar even though the same code is already baked into dist/ chunks.
move ~24 UI-only packages to devDependencies. vite + its plugins still install them in dev (bun install fetches devDependencies in workspaces), so \`bun run build\` is unchanged. consumers doing \`npm install @openchamber/web\` no longer pull ~150MB of unused browser-side modules.
measured on aarch64 darwin build:
- app.asar: 281MB -> 44MB (-237MB, -84%)
- .dmg: 320MB -> 132MB (-59%)
- .zip: 305MB -> 129MB (-58%)
verified type-check, ui build, 73 vitest tests, packaged launch.
* chore(electron): center dmg installer icons, use cream brand background
dmg-builder 26 ignored our previous dmg.contents positions against its template background (they stayed at template coords, producing misalignment with the drawn arrow). switch to a solid backgroundColor (#FFFCF0, the splash light tone) so the template image is dropped entirely and our coordinates are authoritative. window tuned to 540x340, iconSize 100, iconTextSize 13.
dmgbuild treats contents coordinates as icon *centers* (not top-left), so with iconSize=100 in a 540 window, x=180 and x=360 place left and right clusters with equal 130px gaps on both sides of the window. y=140 vertically centres the icon+label pair.
* fix(electron): eliminate main-thread freezes in in-process server
Three blocking paths were running sync work on the Electron main event
loop, causing multi-second UI freezes under the new in-process server:
- package-manager.detectPackageManagerDetails fired spawnSync(pnpm/npm/
yarn/bun bin -g) with 10s timeouts. In desktop runtime PM detection is
pointless (app is .app bundle, updates via electron-updater) — short-
circuit when OPENCHAMBER_RUNTIME=desktop. This was the ~5s freeze.
- buildInstalledApps iterated 22 OPEN_IN_APPS × spawnSync(mdfind, sips).
Converted to execFile promises so child waits yield to the loop.
- orphan-project-file recovery re-scanned disk on every settings read
(3+/s from fs/list/etc). Cache the outcome per process lifetime.
Also: resolveProjectDirectory prefers settings.lastDirectory over
activeProjectId so file-open from sidebar/chat doesn't 400 with
"Path is outside of active workspace" after the user navigates.
Plus dropdown typeahead fixes in DesktopHostSwitcher/BranchSelector:
stopPropagation on input keys so cmdk doesn't swallow typing.
* feat(electron): restore desktop LAN access for in-process server
spawnLocalServer now reads settings.desktopLanAccessEnabled and binds
on 0.0.0.0 when enabled, so phones/tablets on the same Wi-Fi can open
the app via http://<lan-ip>:<port>. Adds desktop_get_lan_address IPC
(UDP-connect route lookup with networkInterfaces fallback) for the
settings UI to show the reachable URL.
UI and settings plumbing already existed from the sidecar build; only
the Electron main-process wiring was missing.
* chore: added electron package to version bump script
* fix(electron): address PR review — harden IPC surface + polish
P1 security:
- Gate openchamber:invoke and openchamber:dialog:open by webContents
origin. Only local (loopback / dev file://) senders can call desktop_*.
Blocks remote hosts loaded via DesktopHostSwitcher from reading local
files, opening apps, relaunching, etc.
- desktop_read_file now refuses paths outside $HOME / tmpdir and denies
.ssh/.aws/.gnupg/.config/gh/credentials + .env/.pem/.key by name
(defense-in-depth behind the origin gate).
P2:
- webPreferences.sandbox:false: add comment explaining preload needs Node
(contextBridge+ipcRenderer) and why flipping to true would break IPC.
- desktop_set_vibrancy: comment the intentional no-op (no Electron
equivalent for the Tauri NSVisualEffectView path), drop requiresRestart.
- desktopNative.ts: replace isTauriShell() guards with isDesktopShell()
so the semantics match (previous check worked only because Electron
preload exposes a __TAURI__ shim).
- AGENTS.md: correct entry description — server runs in-process, not as
a sidecar subprocess.
* fix(electron): stop leaking desktop shell APIs to remote renderer pages
Preload was exposing __TAURI__ and __OPENCHAMBER_ELECTRON__ unconditionally,
so after DesktopHostSwitcher navigated the window to a remote OpenChamber
instance the remote UI saw isDesktopShell() === true and tried to invoke
desktop_* IPC. The main-process origin gate then threw "IPC not available
for this origin", surfacing as a user-visible error on the onboarding
screen of the remote.
Preload re-runs on cross-origin navigation; compute current origin up
front and only expose the shell globals + the openchamber:emit listener
when the document is loopback / state.localOrigin / file://. Remote
pages now look like a plain web runtime — no IPC path to reject.
* fix(electron): restore remote UI shell integration via per-command gate
Previous commit stripped __TAURI__ / __OPENCHAMBER_ELECTRON__ from remote
pages wholesale, which broke DesktopHostSwitcher for anyone switched to
a remote instance: no hosts list, "Unknown" probe status, open-in-new-
window dead. Also lost window chrome affordances that the remote UI
needs to render correctly inside the Electron shell.
Switch from an origin-level gate to a per-command allowlist:
- preload.mjs exposes __TAURI__ and __OPENCHAMBER_ELECTRON__ on every
page (shell identity + IPC channel). __OPENCHAMBER_LOCAL_ORIGIN__ and
__OPENCHAMBER_MACOS_MAJOR__ also go everywhere since HostSwitcher and
window chrome depend on them and neither grants capability.
__OPENCHAMBER_HOME__ stays local-only (leaks the OS username and is
misleading if consumed as a workspace hint on a remote page).
- main.mjs ipcMain.handle accepts a curated COMMANDS_SAFE_FOR_REMOTE set
(hosts_get, host_probe, new_window, new_window_at_url, set_window_*,
is_window_fullscreen, start_window_drag, get_app_version,
get_lan_address). Filesystem, shell.openPath, installed-apps scans,
app relaunch, auto-update, hosts_set, dialog:open, read_file stay
local-only — remote UI doesn't need them and can't weaponize them.
* ci(release): rebuild native modules against Electron ABI before packaging
Electron job skipped rebuild:native so bun install's Node-ABI builds of
better-sqlite3/node-pty/bun-pty shipped into the asar — packaged app
would crash on require. Local bun run package runs the step via
scripts/rebuild-native.mjs (npmRebuild is disabled in package.json);
mirror it in CI and pass ELECTRON_BUILDER_ARCH so the x64 matrix
cross-builds from the arm64 runner.
Tauri job untouched — both builds continue to produce side-by-side
release artifacts (latest.json for Tauri, latest-mac.yml for Electron)
so each shell's updater finds its own manifest.
* ci(release): split Electron arm64/x64 onto native macOS runners
Both Electron matrix entries were running on macos-26 (arm64) and
cross-building x64 from there. Works for Rust/Tauri; brittle for
native Node modules — better-sqlite3, node-pty, bun-pty (with its
rust-pty crate) each have their own cross-target quirks.
Pin arm64 → macos-14 and x64 → macos-13 so node-gyp and
@electron/rebuild build against the host arch. ELECTRON_BUILDER_ARCH
now just mirrors the runner for clarity.
* Revert "ci(release): split Electron arm64/x64 onto native macOS runners"
This reverts commit f217880e49609cf1418818af0f837b333dbb6f42.
* ci(test-build): add Electron DMG job to arm64 dispatch workflow
Parallel job to the existing Tauri DMG builder, same runner + Apple
cert path. Mirrors the release workflow steps (build:web-assets,
bundle:main, rebuild:native, electron-builder) so maintainers can
smoke-test a signed+notarized Electron DMG before merging.
* ci: use electron-builder v26 boolean arch flags
v26 dropped --arch <name> in favour of per-arch booleans (--arm64,
--x64, etc.). Test build was failing at dispatch time; release job
had the same bug latent. Switch both to the supported form.
* fix(electron): route external links to the system browser
<a href> clicks and window.open calls with non-local URLs were loading
inside the Electron BrowserWindow (or spawning a second Electron window
as a makeshift browser). Add an origin-aware navigation guard to each
window: loopback / state.localOrigin / configured desktop hosts keep
their existing in-window behaviour (HostSwitcher, in-window probes);
everything else hands off to shell.openExternal so http/https links
open in the user's default browser.
