Navigation model rebuilt around two full-width drawers and a minimal
header (sessions / title-switcher / usage ring / workspace):
- Left sessions drawer: cross-project tree with live status indicators,
swipe actions on sessions (rename/archive/delete) and on group headers
(project edit / two-step close, worktree delete), reorder-only edit
mode with collapsible project cards and draggable worktrees, app-level
footer (connected instance, settings, pending web update).
- Right workspace drawer: Changes / Files / Terminal / Notes / MCP as
pill tabs (inactive tabs icon-only); panes stay mounted once visited.
The full desktop file editor serves the Files tab; read/skill tool taps
in chat open the file there at the requested line.
- Header session switcher on title tap: 10 cross-project recents with
live busy/attention indicators and project · branch metadata; the
usage ring opens a metadata overlay with an explicit loading state.
- The overflow menu is gone on phones (its destinations moved into the
drawers); iPad keeps it until its dedicated layout pass.
Correctness and continuity:
- /auth/session answers bearer-first, so a stale WebView cookie can no
longer mask a revoked device token; cold launches classify failures
fast and land on an explicit connect screen.
- Authoritative session snapshots raise frozen ordering baselines and
stale live ranks — recents stay truthful after the app slept.
- Cold launches reopen the last active session per instance (persisted
pointer, confirmed against a sessions snapshot; a user-opened draft
clears it), with a logo hold instead of a draft flash.
Also: collapsed pill composer gains the stop control; chat tool rows
share one 36px rhythm; Task subtool rows truncate; larger bottom safe
area so the composer clears big-screen corner radii; Capacitor build
hides About/Update (store updates apply there); widgets link to the
sessions drawer with a list icon; MobileApp split into focused modules;
five mobile-surface detectors unified; translucent borders normalized to
70%; all new strings translated across the 10 locales.
iPad and foldable layouts are intentionally untouched - separate next version PR.
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
The newer mobile Changes surface returns early for non-interactive list states (no directory selected, repository status still loading, or current directory is not a Git repository). Those branches rendered only MobileChangesState and skipped the standard header row entirely.
On Android PWA this leaves the sheet with no visible close/back affordance. Because the surface is hosted inside MobileSurfaceShell as a modal sheet, the browser/system back gesture does not reliably dismiss it, so users were forced to tap sparse overlay whitespace to escape.
Fix the regression by wrapping those early-return states in the same top header used by the normal Changes list, including the close button and current path label. This keeps dismissal available even when the new mobile UI is showing an empty/error state. While touching the file, switch the remaining direct @remixicon/react usages in this component to the shared Icon system to match current UI conventions.
Validated with packages/ui type-check and a packages/web build.

Restructure the changes list so the staged/changed file list scrolls inside
ChangesPanel while the commit message and actions stay pinned to the bottom,
matching the desktop git sidebar instead of letting the commit box scroll out
of view with the list.
Add a packaged-client runtime boundary so the shared UI can talk to local,
desktop, remote, and VS Code runtimes through the right transport instead of
assuming one same-origin web server.
Centralize OpenChamber-owned API access behind RuntimeAPIs, runtimeFetch, and
runtime URL helpers, while keeping official OpenCode traffic on the SDK path.
Support runtime switching, remote host selection, desktop client credentials,
and headless connection links for pairing packaged clients with remote
OpenChamber servers.
Harden the new auth model by moving long-lived client tokens out of browser
URLs, introducing short-lived scoped URL tokens for browser-owned transports,
restricting URL-token access to explicit readable/realtime routes, and making
client-token management session-scoped or self-scoped as appropriate.
Update browser-owned assets and preview proxy flows to work with the split
runtime model, including authenticated project icons, preview token propagation,
CSP-safe preview bridge injection, and preview proxy auth that survives
short-lived URL-token expiry.
Tighten Electron security boundaries for packaged clients by gating privileged
preload state to trusted origins and requiring explicit confirmation before
connect deep-links import or switch remote runtimes.
Also refresh agent guidance and project skills so future runtime/API, auth,
preview, UI, CLI, settings, locale, and drag-to-reorder work follows the new
architecture.
