packages/ui/src/components/chat/message/TextSelectionMenu.tsx
- What: Wrap selectedText in ```md fenced block before appending to composer.
- Why: Selections were appended as raw inline text with no visual distinction.
packages/ui/src/components/chat/ChatInput.tsx
- What: Replace trimEnd()/trim() + single-space join with raw prev + \n\n separator in append branch.
- 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.
- Why: Todo text sent to current session should have the same fenced formatting.
Reduce layout thrashing during virtual keyboard open/close on mobile by
batching resize and visualViewport event handlers to once per animation
frame. No visual or behavioral changes — desktop is unaffected.
- MainLayout: rAF-batch visualViewport resize/scroll and window resize
listeners (was firing 10-20x per frame during keyboard animation)
- Header: rAF-batch ResizeObserver and resize/orientationchange callbacks
- ChatContainer: rAF-batch ResizeObserver and resize fallback callbacks
- useDeviceInfo: 150ms debounce on resize listener (device type does not
change during keyboard transitions)
* fix: align update flow across web, desktop, and vscode

Remove deprecated `--daemon` usage and clarify QR/password behavior
Add docs validation tooling and docs-source workflow for packaging and sync
* fix: project label text hidden by selection overlay in dark mode
In NavRail's ProjectTile, the expanded active item renders an absolutely
positioned background overlay (--interactive-selection) that visually
covers the text label. The label span was missing 'relative z-10',
unlike NavRailActionButton which correctly uses it.
Fixes text being invisible on selected project in dark themes
(nord-dark, dracula-dark, monokai-dark, gruvbox-dark, etc.)
* feat: auto-save file editor with 1.5s debounce
Add debounced auto-save to the file editor so users no longer need to
manually save with Cmd/Ctrl+S or the save button. Files are automatically
saved 1.5 seconds after the user stops typing.
- Debounced auto-save effect that triggers on draft content changes
- Cmd/Ctrl+S still works for immediate save (cancels pending debounce)
- Updated save button UI with contextual status indicators:
'Saving...' spinner, 'Saved' checkmark, or save icon when dirty
- Reset auto-save status when switching between files
- Applied consistently to both normal and fullscreen editor views

* fix: align chat history loading path with opencode parity
* fix: stabilize chat streaming and reduce render churn
* feat: add blurIn streaming text animation and smooth lerp-based auto-scroll
Streaming markdown now uses Streamdown blurIn animation (150ms, ease-out) for per-word reveal
Auto-scroll during streaming uses continuous exponential smoothing (lerp) instead of restarting spring animations
One-shot scroll-to-bottom (button click) uses motion spring for natural deceleration

* perf: show chat scrollbar only on user-driven scrolling
Chat scrollbar now stays hidden during automatic follow-to-bottom
Scrollbar visibility is gated by real user scroll intent
Reduced scroll overhead by removing timer-based intent tracking

Route VS Code SSE through SDK-based proxy flow
Restore controlled web session activity tracking and cooldowns
Keep chat activity behavior consistent across runtimes

Match skeleton width and horizontal alignment to chat message column
Add one-line tool-style skeleton rows with subtle circular placeholders
Increase top spacing so loading state no longer touches chat header
* fix: prevent blank screen when adding inline diff comments
Sanitize persisted inline comment drafts to ignore invalid data
Harden diff annotations against malformed line numbers
Fail safely when annotation updates error instead of crashing the view
* fix: streamline VS Code archived sessions sidebar
Show archived sessions in VS Code only for the active workspace directory.
Render archived sessions as a flat list in VS Code without project-root subfolders.
Hide the "Open in Side Panel" session action in VS Code.
* fix(ci): pass target architecture to beforeBuildCommand
Set TAURI_ENV_TARGET_TRIPLE environment variable before running
build commands to ensure sidecar binary matches target architecture.
Problem:
- CI builds both arm64 and x86_64 targets in parallel on arm64 runner
- beforeBuildCommand executes before Tauri sets TAURI_ENV_TARGET_TRIPLE
- build-sidecar.mjs fallbacks to process.arch (arm64 on CI runner)
- Both parallel tasks build arm64 sidecars, second task overwrites first
- Result: x86_64 releases contain arm64 sidecar → startup failure on Intel Macs
Solution:
- Explicitly set TAURI_ENV_TARGET_TRIPLE in CI workflow
- Add architecture verification step to detect mismatches early
Evidence:
- Official DMG OpenChamber_1.8.5_darwin-x86_64.dmg contains arm64 sidecar
- Local build with explicit env var produces correct x86_64 sidecar
- /Applications/OpenChamber.app/Contents/MacOS/openchamber-server: arm64
- packages/desktop/src-tauri/sidecars/...: x86_64 (with env var)
Fixes startup failure on Intel Macs where official x86_64 DMG
contains arm64 sidecar binary, causing indefinite loading screen.
* fix(ci): normalize architecture names in verification step
Fix architecture mismatch where macOS 'file' command reports ARM binaries
as 'arm64' but verification expects 'aarch64', causing false negatives
in ARM builds.
Changes:
- Update grep pattern to include 'arm64' in extraction
- Add normalize_arch() function to map arm64 -> aarch64
- Improve debug output to show raw and normalized architectures
- Update error messages to show both raw and normalized values
This fixes the issue reported by @btriapitsyn where ARM builds would
fail verification even with correct artifacts, because:
- macOS file command reports: 'Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64'
- Old grep pattern only matched: 'x86_64|aarch64'
- Result: empty string != 'aarch64' → false failure
The normalization ensures consistency between:
- macOS file output (arm64/x86_64)
- Rust/Cargo naming (aarch64/x86_64)
- Tauri target triples (aarch64-apple-darwin/x86_64-apple-darwin)
Fixes architecture verification for both ARM and Intel builds.

OpenChamber logo cube highlights now match splash screens consistently
* fix: keep macOS traffic-light buttons in the correct position on load
Stop native window title updates on macOS during app initialization
Prevent title bar relayout that reset custom traffic-light positioning
* fix: recover missing providers and agents after fast startup
Retries provider/agent loading when connection is up but core config is still empty
Prevents cold-start state where models/agents appear only after manual project switch
Keeps startup responsive with throttled background recovery in app bootstrap
The CLI tunnel startup generated a bootstrap token but discarded it,
then built a URL with ?token=<uiPassword> which the tunnel auth system
ignores. Remote users always saw 'Tunnel access required' with no way
to authenticate.
Capture the bootstrap token, build the /connect?t=... URL, and pass it
through onTunnelReady so the CLI prints the correct one-time connect
link (and QR code).

* chore(ui): update favorite-cycle shortcut comment
