* Stability and performance improvements. (#1)
## Changelog
### Performance Improvements
- **perf: make terminal creation cwd check async (#9)**
Replaced synchronous `fs.existsSync` with `fs.promises.access` in the terminal creation handler to prevent blocking the event loop.
Improves throughput under high load.
- **perf: optimize fuzzyMatchScore by avoiding redundant lowercasing (#8)**
Renamed `fuzzyMatchScore` to `fuzzyMatchScoreNormalized` and updated it to accept a pre-lowercased query, avoiding repeated string allocations.
Updated the call site in `searchFilesystemFiles`.
~25% search performance improvement on large datasets.
- **perf: use async file read in update-install handler (#7)**
Replaced `fs.readFileSync` with `await fs.promises.readFile` to avoid blocking the event loop.
**Benchmark (10k ops):**
- Sync: ~95ms (blocking)
- Async: ~1124ms (non-blocking)
Higher per-call overhead, but better server responsiveness.
- **perf(server): optimize mkdir endpoint with async fs (#6)**
Replaced `fs.mkdirSync` with `await fsPromises.mkdir` in `/api/fs/mkdir`.
Prevents event-loop blocking and improves concurrent performance.
**Result:** ~2× throughput improvement (100 concurrent requests).
- **perf: parallelize fs checks in validateProjectEntries (#4)**
Replaced serial `for...of` with `Promise.all + map`.
Reduced validation time for 500 projects from ~110ms to ~20ms (~5× speedup).
- **perf: cache getLoginShellPath result to avoid blocking event loop (#5)**
Cached `getLoginShellPath` result to avoid repeated `spawnSync` calls (~400ms each).
Subsequent calls reduced to <1ms.

### Server Fixes
- **fix(server): use async check for terminal restart endpoint (#3)**
Replaced `fs.existsSync` with `fs.promises.stat` in `/api/terminal/:sessionId/restart`.
Added directory validation for better robustness.

### UI & Accessibility
- **feat(ui): add aria-labels to git identities sidebar buttons (#1)**
- Added `aria-label="Create new profile"` to the create button
- Added `aria-label="Profile actions"` to the dropdown trigger
- Added `.Jules/palette.md` for UX/a11y learnings

* Fix mobile layout for chat input controls
- Reduced horizontal gaps in mobile model controls.
- Added max-width constraints to model, variant, and agent labels on mobile to prevent overflow and cramping.
- Optimized spacing for mobile view.
* feat(git): auto-select gitmoji for generated commit messages
When the "Generate commit message" feature is used and gitmoji is enabled, automatically prepend the appropriate gitmoji based on the commit subject keywords.
- Added `KEYWORD_MAP` to map commit types to gitmojis.
- Added `matchGitmojiFromSubject` helper.
- Updated `handleGenerateCommitMessage` to apply the gitmoji.

Web and desktop interface for the OpenCode AI coding agent. Works alongside the OpenCode TUI.
The OpenCode team is actively working on their own desktop app. I still decided to release this project as a fan-made alternative.
It was entirely built with OpenCode tool - first with the TUI version, then with the first usable version of OpenChamber, which I then used to build the rest.
The whole project was built entirely with AI coding agents under my supervision. It started as a hobby project and proof of concept that AI agents can create genuinely usable software.

Why use OpenChamber?
Cross-device continuity: Start in TUI, continue on tablet/phone, return to terminal - same session
Remote access: Use OpenCode from anywhere via browser
Familiarity: A visual alternative for developers who prefer GUI workflows
