* fix(desktop): wrap sidebar icon buttons in Tip tooltips
Several icon-only buttons in the sidebar (header actions, workspace
menu, project menu, session actions, load-more) had aria-label but
no visual tooltip on hover. Wrap them in the existing <Tip> component,
matching the pattern already used elsewhere (e.g. ProfilePill).
No behavioral changes -- purely wraps existing buttons.
Adds vitest coverage asserting the Tip wrapper (data-slot=tooltip-trigger)
for 6 of 7 files; index.tsx is a 1500+ line top-level page component and
was verified manually via screenshots instead.
* fix(desktop): satisfy consistent-type-imports lint rule in project-dialog test
* test(desktop): update session-row mocks for restored sessionColorById
* fix(desktop): compose Tip around the real trigger instead of inside it
Tip was being placed as SessionActionsMenu's/PlatformAvatar's DIRECT child,
which asChild then cloned instead of the actual button/span. Neither Tip nor
PlatformAvatar forwarded the injected onClick/ref, so both silently dropped
the wiring:
- session-actions-menu.tsx: Tip now wraps DropdownMenuTrigger internally
(new ooltip prop) instead of the caller wrapping its children in Tip.
- platform-icon.tsx: PlatformAvatar now forwards ref and spreads rest props
onto its span so a wrapping Tip's trigger actually attaches.
- session-row.tsx: updated call site to use the new tooltip prop.
- Added session-actions-menu.test.tsx exercising the real DropdownMenu open
behavior end-to-end (no Tip/Dropdown mocks).
- session-row.test.tsx no longer mocks PlatformAvatar's behavior; it now
exercises the real (fixed) component for the handoff-avatar tooltip.
* fix(desktop): compose Tip outside PopoverAnchor in ProjectMenu (#67500)
* test(desktop): update session-row test for the tooltip-prop composition (cbbbeb2fd)
* fix(desktop): satisfy consistent-type-imports in session-row.test.tsx mocks
* chore: retrigger CI
* test(desktop): stop mocking PlatformAvatar's behavior (#67500, third pass)
The mock was re-introduced by a prior edit that fixed an unrelated lint
error, silently undoing the earlier fix where this test started exercising
the real (forwardRef) PlatformAvatar. Removed the mock; updated the two
handoff-avatar tests to query the real component's rendered span instead of
text content, since it renders a brand SVG icon for known platforms rather
than the platform name as text.
* nix: add `cage` to devShell
* test(desktop): add pre-filled sessions support
Exports createSandbox, writeMockProviderConfig, writeEnvFile,
buildAppEnv, findElectron, and launchDesktop from fixtures.ts so
specs can compose their own seeded-backend fixtures without duplicating
the sandbox/config/launch logic.
* test(desktop): auto-fail e2e tests on error banner
Adds a shared test fixture (e2e/test.ts) that wraps @playwright/test's
page with an error-banner guard. When any [role="alert"] element
(error notification toast) appears in the DOM during a test, the test
fails with the error message text.
The guard uses:
- A MutationObserver (injected via addInitScript) that watches for
[role="alert"] elements appearing at any point during the test
- A final DOM scan in afterEach for alerts still visible at teardown
- Deduplication so the same error text only fires once
All existing e2e specs updated to import { test, expect } from './test'
instead of '@playwright/test'. No per-spec setup needed — the guard is
auto-installed on every page via the extended fixture.
This catches issues like the "resume failed" error banner that can
appear during session loading — previously the test would pass while
an error toast was silently visible on screen.
* fix(state): parse tool_calls JSON string before re-serializing
_insert_message_rows and append_message both do json.dumps(tool_calls)
to serialize the field for SQLite storage. But when tool_calls arrives
as a JSON string (from import_sessions / export_session, which store it
as TEXT), json.dumps double-encodes it — wrapping the already-serialized
string in quotes and escaping the inner quotes.
When _rows_to_conversation later does json.loads(row['tool_calls']),
the double-encoded string parses back to a plain string (not a list).
_history_to_messages then iterates this string character-by-character,
calling tc.get('function', {}) on each char — 'str' object has no
attribute 'get'.
This was a pre-existing bug (on main), but only triggered by the
import_sessions path (the live agent always passes tool_calls as a
Python list). The e2e error-banner guard caught it via the 'Resume
failed' notification toast.
Fix: in both append_message and _insert_message_rows, parse tool_calls
with json.loads first if it's a string, then re-serialize.
* fix(desktop): exempt boot-failure from error guard
- boot-failure: add allowErrorBanners() beforeEach — these tests
deliberately trigger boot errors, so error toasts are expected
- test.ts: export allowErrorBanners() opt-out + reset flag in afterEach
The bar rendered full-or-empty (value 1|0) because top-ups have no
denominator — the wire carries only the current balance and the pool is
open-ended, so a fill fraction is fiction. Show the amount alone;
subscription credits and the monthly cap keep their bars (real
denominators).
* fix(desktop): make ⌘W close visible file tab on stale preview selection
When the live preview target is gone but $rightRailActiveTabId still points
at preview, file tabs remain on screen while ⌘W fell through to a workspace
no-op. Close the visible file tab instead.
* test(desktop): cover ⌘W close for file tabs and ghost preview selection
Lock the happy path and the stale-preview regression so ⌘W keeps closing
the file tab the rail is actually showing.
* feat(desktop): configure repository discovery
* fix(config): preserve additive default migration
* fix(desktop): stabilize session-actions-menu gateway mock for repo-scan subscribe
projects.ts now runs $gateway.subscribe(syncReposScanning) at module load, and
nanostores fires the subscriber synchronously. session-actions-menu.test.ts
reaches projects.ts transitively via the session store but mocked
@/store/gateway without $gateway, crashing the whole desktop vitest suite
("No \ export is defined"). Simply adding $gateway: atom(null) exposed a
second issue: the synchronous subscriber calls the mock's activeGateway()
during the transitive import, before the module-level const initializes (TDZ).
Hoist the mock fns via vi.hoisted() so activeGateway is defined before the
hoisted vi.mock factory runs, and add $gateway: atom(null) to the mock. Mirrors
the self-contained mock pattern already used in projects.test.ts. Also maps the
PR author's commit email for attribution.
Supersedes #67630; incorporates review feedback from that PR.

* feat(tui): show the plan catalog in /subscription on Free
The server returns the tier list even with no subscription, but the
overlay hid the picker behind can_change_plan && !isFree, so a Free
account got only "Start a subscription" with no idea what the plans
cost. Now:
- Overview on Free offers "Choose a plan" whenever the catalog has
enabled paid tiers.
- The picker on Free lists each plan as name · price · monthly credits
(no upgrade/downgrade hints — there is nothing to move from), and
picking one opens the portal, where starting a subscription actually
happens (card capture + checkout live there; the upgrade RPC requires
an existing subscription).
- Paid-plan behavior (preview → confirm → apply) is unchanged.
* refactor(tui): compute the picker row suffix once
Review feedback: the isFree fork duplicated the label template and run
handler; only the suffix differs.
* fix(tui): arm the busy guard before the Free portal handoff
Adversarial review: the Free branch returned before setting busyRef, so
a double-Enter could open the portal twice; and the picker narrated a
handoff that openManageLink already narrates (duplicate on success,
contradictory on failure). Guard first, let the helper do the talking.
* fix(tui): monthly credits are dollars — label them as such
The Free picker showed "1000 credits/mo" for what is $1,000 of monthly
credit — render "$1,000 credits/mo" (grouped, dollar-signed).
* feat(tui): render the Free-plan catalog inline in the /subscription overview
Sid ruling: the upsell belongs where the user already is — no
intermediate "Choose a plan" hop. On Free the overview lists each paid
plan (name · $/mo · $credits/mo) as a pickable row; picking opens the
portal (openManageLink narrates). The generic "Start a subscription"
row survives only when the catalog is empty. The picker reverts to its
original change-only form (Free never reaches it).
* feat(desktop): tier catalog chips on the Subscription row
Desktop parity with the TUI inline catalog (Sid ruling): accounts that
can act see the plans where they already are — Free gets the upsell
list (every chip opens the portal), a subscriber sees all tiers with
the current one marked inert. Members and team contexts see no chips.
Chips learn an optional url (portal handoff) in the shared row model.
* chore(tui): fixture harness mirrors the live tier catalog
The dev screenshot fixtures showed invented plans ($50 Super / $99
Ultra, "1,000 credits"); align with the real catalog ($20/$100/$200
with $22/$110/$220 monthly credits) so fixture renders cannot be
mistaken for product truth. The overlay itself always reads tiers from
the subscription API.
* chore: trim narration comments
* fix(billing): rename user-facing "terminal billing" copy to Remote Spending
The capability was renamed Remote Spending on the portal (consent CTA:
"Allow Remote Spending"; per-terminal states Granted/Stopped), but the
terminal, desktop, and docs still said "terminal billing" everywhere.
- Feature name: Remote Spending in titles/labels, lowercase mid-sentence.
- Step-up action verb is now "allow", matching the portal consent CTA.
- Kill-switch-off recovery copy points at the actual control ("a billing
admin can turn it on from the portal's Hermes Agent page") instead of
the dead-end "manage it on the portal".
- Per-terminal revoke copy uses the portal vocabulary ("stopped").
- Wire identifiers (cli_billing_enabled, cli_billing_disabled, ...) are
unchanged; copy, comments, docs, and test expectations only.
* fix(billing): correct the post-step-up denial diagnosis + finish the desktop rename
Adversarial review findings: (1) a repeated insufficient_scope after a
successful step-up is a per-terminal authorization failure, but the copy
blamed the org kill-switch and pointed at the wrong recovery control —
now: "Remote Spending still isn't active for this terminal — the
authorization didn't take. Retry, or make this change on the portal."
(2) the desktop step-up flow started in Remote Spending vocabulary but
finished in "billing management access" — renamed both end states.
(3) prettier formatting on the touched files (matches the post-merge
fmt bot).
Fix#68095
The composer input box (contentEditable div) randomly shrank to a tiny/pixelated
size when typing character-by-character (paste worked fine). Root cause: during
per-keystroke input, the normalizeComposerEditorDom cleanup could briefly leave
the contentEditable with zero child nodes, and without intrinsic content the
browser collapsed it visually despite the CSS min-height.
Two-pronged fix:
1. Add min-h-[1.625rem] bracket syntax alongside the CSS variable min-height
to ensure the minimum height is enforced even if the CSS variable resolution
is delayed or overridden by browser defaults.
2. In normalizeComposerEditorDom, ensure the contentEditable always has at
least one <br> child when empty, giving it intrinsic height that the browser
cannot collapse. This is a belt-and-suspenders approach with the CSS min-height.
Closes#68095
Interrupting a busy turn with the Stop button (or Esc) settles the
session to idle, and the edge-independent auto-drain immediately submits
the head of the composer queue. The user pressed Stop to halt the agent,
but it looks like Stop skipped the current turn and kept going — and the
queued text is hard to find, since its only surface is the collapsed
'N queued' pill above the composer.
The old userInterruptedRef latch (a23728dcc) fixed this but was removed
in #40221 because it also suppressed the drain that send-now-while-busy
depends on. This reintroduces the halt with source awareness instead of
a blanket latch:
- Explicit halts (Stop button, composer Esc, chat-focus Esc, the
streaming message's hover Stop, runtime cancel) park the session's
queue before interrupting. Parked queues are skipped by both
auto-drain paths (mounted ChatBar + background drainer).
- Interrupts that exist to advance the queue (send-now-while-busy)
unpark first, so the settle drain they rely on still flows.
- The park lifts on any renewed intent: resume, a manual drain (Enter
on empty composer or the per-row send arrow), queueing a new prompt,
or emptying the queue. It migrates with entries on a runtime re-key
and is deliberately not persisted (a fresh process starts unparked).
- The queue panel expands on park, switches to 'N Queued — paused' with
a pause icon, and grows a Resume action, so the held prompts are
visible instead of reading as vanished.
Store contract, hook wiring, and background-drain coverage included;
docs updated.
* fix(desktop): keep composer draft across compression tip rotation
Auto-compression swaps the live stored session id while the user may still
be typing. Scope the composer/queue key on the lineage root and migrate any
tip-keyed draft/queue entries onto that durable key when the tip rotates so
the in-progress prompt does not vanish when the response lands.
* test(desktop): cover draft survival across compression tip rotation
Add regression coverage for migrateSessionDraft, lineage-scoped composer
keys, and the rotation path that previously wiped an in-progress draft.
Drop the unused DEDUPE_WINDOW_MS export and rename its interval so
"window" isn't overloaded against BrowserWindow in a multi-window
feature (windowMs → intervalMs). DRY the completion-sound play path.
No behavior change.
With multiple full windows, each renderer independently reacts to the
same backend event, so one-shot cues fired N times: OS notifications
(the per-renderer throttle can't see other windows), the turn-end sound
(playCompletionSound runs on every message.complete, ungated by focus),
and auto-spoken replies (double voice when a chat is open in two windows).
Add a single race-free owner in the main process (electron/event-dedupe.ts):
main handles IPC serially, so the first window to claim a key within a
short window wins and peers stay quiet. Notifications collapse at the
hermes:notify choke point; the sound and spoken replies claim via a new
hermes:ambient:claim IPC (keyed by session / reply id). Off Electron the
claim falls back to "emit", preserving single-window behavior.
The sound's mute check runs before the claim so a muted window can't win
the cue and silence an audible peer.
Repoint session.newWindow (⌘⇧N) from the compact new-session pop-out to
openNewWindow(), which opens a full peer instance via the new openWindow
bridge, and add a "New Window" entry to the ⌘K palette (shown with its
hotkey hint, gated on canOpenNewWindow()). Relabel the action "New window".
Drops the retired openNewSessionWindow bridge and the vestigial
isNewSessionWindow()/new=1 flag; renames the shared opener helper.
Add createInstanceWindow() — a full-chrome peer of the primary that
renders the complete app (sidebar, routing, its own draft) against the
shared backend, so several GUI windows can run at once. Mirrors the
primary's window options + chatWindowWebPreferences (backgroundThrottling
stays off so a streamed answer never stalls when blurred) but never
overwrites the mainWindow global and doesn't respawn the backend — the
renderer's getConnection() joins the running one. New windows cascade off
their source via the pure, tested instanceWindowBounds().
Exposed via the hermes🪟openInstance IPC and a "New Window" File
menu item. Per-window fullscreen state now targets the window itself, and
titlebar/native-theme repaints reach every open chat window instead of
only the primary.
Retires the now-orphaned compact new-session pop-out (its only caller was
⌘⇧N, repointed in the follow-up commit): drops createNewSessionWindow,
the hermes🪟openNewSession handler, and the newSession/new=1 URL
flag.
Test 1 in skills/index.test.tsx pays the full cold-start cost (jsdom env
init + module transform + the @/hermes/@/store/profile import graph),
which pushed past vitest's 5000ms default under load — caught at 8871ms
on one run, 6.6s pure test time on another. Tests 2-4 are ~30-130ms
each because all that setup is already cached, so only test 1 was at
risk of timing out.
Bump the describe-level timeout to 15s. Verified with 10 consecutive
runs, 4 of which took 5.5-6.6s of test time and would have hard-failed
under the old 5s default.
The SSH modules predate the stricter lint config that landed on main (curly, no-empty, perfectionist sorting, prettier). Mechanical lint:fix + fmt pass, empty catch blocks filled with the codebase's void-0 convention, and inline no-control-regex disables on the three deliberate control-char patterns (same pattern as lib/ansi.ts).
Sync with main after the contribution-shell refactor (#60638) and the backendConnectionState extraction (#65885) landed. Seven conflicts, all resolved in favor of main's new architecture with the SSH lifecycle ported on top:
- electron/main.ts: adopt backendConnectionState (attempt tokens, attachProcess, clearPromiseForAttempt) as the sole owner of the primary backend; drop the branch's raw hermesProcess/connectionPromise globals and commitConnectionFailure call site. SSH liveness-streak classification, teardown, and the SSH quit path are layered onto the new ownership model; before-quit combines SSH transactional teardown with the Windows sandbox marker (#38216).
- desktop-controller.tsx: deleted on main; its SSH beforeConnectionSwitch cleanup (preserved-route fresh draft, overlay return-route reset, project-tree reset, close-all-terminals) moves to contrib/wiring.tsx's useGatewayBoot call.
- use-session-actions/index.ts: keep main's onFreshDraftRouteIntent (fires unconditionally); preserveRoute gates only the navigate.
- gateway-settings.tsx: keep main's acceptSavedConfig/connectedCloudUrl; every save/sign-in/sign-out success path routes through acceptSavedConfig with the branch's stale-async seq guards intact.
- boot-failure-reauth.ts: keep both sshFailureMessage and main's isRemoteReauthFailure formatting.
- Both test harnesses take the union of props.
Validation: tsc -b clean; desktop suite 1704 passed / 1 skipped; electron SSH/connection modules 225 passed; python SSH + web_server suites 508 passed.
Keep-awake lives only in Settings → Advanced now. Remove the statusbar
quick-toggle (+ its Sun icon, store toggle helper, and keepAwakeOn/Off
strings across locales). Since the statusbar was what eagerly loaded the
store at boot, move persistence to the main process (keep-awake.json,
re-applied on app ready — same pattern as translucency), so a cold launch
restores the blocker without the renderer opening Settings.
The settings OverlayMain has a titlebar-height top pad (no bottom pad), so
the full-panel LoadingState centered in the band beneath it and read low.
Cancel the top pad on the loader so it centers in the whole card; the one
inline (mid-panel) memory loader switches to a plain min-height PageLoader
so it's unaffected.
Revert the dedicated System section: Window Translucency + UI Scale move
back to Appearance, and Haptics returns to its titlebar-only home. Keep
computer awake now lives as a device-local toggle at the top of Advanced
(a ConfigSettings section-specific extra, like the Model block), keeping
the statusbar quick-toggle. Relocated i18n back to settings.appearance /
settings.config across all four locales.
Blocking #1 — gateway-connecting-overlay.tsx reduced-motion regression:
the top `if (reduce) setPhase('gone')` fired unconditionally on mount
whenever reduce-motion was on, so every OS reduced-motion user lost the
CONNECTING overlay during cold boot entirely (jumped to 'gone' before the
gateway was even open). The intent was to skip the exit *choreography*,
not to skip showing the overlay. Removed the unconditional top block and
the redundant nested preview block; kept only the third branch
(`gatewayState === 'open' && shownRef.current` → `reduce ? 'gone' :
'text-out'`) which correctly gates the short-circuit on connect. Also
fixed `if(reduce)` missing-space, 6-space misindent, and the same 3-line
comment pasted three times.
Nit #1 — tsconfig excludes e2e, so specs were never typechecked in CI.
Added tsconfig.e2e.json (extends base, includes e2e/ + playwright.config.ts,
adds @playwright/test types) and wired it into the typecheck script. This
surfaced three latent type errors that are fixed in the same commit:
- fix-electron-tracing.ts: `app._context` and `electron._playwright` are
private APIs — added `as any` on the access before the existing cast.
- playwright.config.ts: `reducedMotion: 'reduce'` directly under `use:`
is not a valid UseOptions property in playwright 1.58; it's a
BrowserContextOption accessed via `contextOptions: { reducedMotion:
'reduce' }`. The old form was silently ignored at runtime, so
reduced-motion emulation wasn't actually active — screenshots could
catch overlays mid-fade (exactly what the comment warned about).
Nit #2 — fix-electron-tracing.ts reaches into Playwright internals
(_playwright, _allContexts, _context) with no public contract. Added a
header comment calling out the `@playwright/test` exact pin (=1.58.2) so a
future bump knows to re-verify the private symbols still exist.
Nit #3 — main.ts TEST_WORKER_INDEX block had stray 6-space indentation.
Verified: tsc -p . && tsconfig.electron && tsconfig.e2e → 0 errors;
vitest boot-failure-overlay (3/3) + boot-failure-reauth (21/21) pass;
npm run build clean; playwright e2e/boot-failure.spec.ts 2/2 pass.
Reverts the Preparing component changes from b2857110b so the progress bar
turns red (bg-destructive) and the error text shows below it when boot.error
is set, instead of bailing out with an early return null.
The corresponding e2e guard in waitForBootFailure (e2e/fixtures.ts) that
rejected any progress bar in the DOM is dropped — it now waits for the
failure dialog (Retry/Repair/Use local gateway/Connection settings) or the
"Desktop boot failed" toast. The boot-failure.spec.ts header comment is
updated to match.
Verified: tsc clean, vitest boot-failure-reauth (21/21) + boot-failure-overlay
(3/3) pass, npm run build clean, playwright e2e/boot-failure.spec.ts 2/2 pass.
Add a "keep computer awake" toggle (Claude-style) for long/overnight runs:
the renderer owns the device-local pref and mirrors it to the Electron main
process, which holds a single `powerSaveBlocker('prevent-app-suspension')` —
the same authority split as translucency. Surfaced as a statusbar quick-toggle
and a Settings row.
Introduce a dedicated System settings section (device-local machine prefs) and
de-crowd Appearance by moving Window Translucency + UI Scale into it (both are
main-process/window-owned, not visual theme). Give Haptic Feedback its first
Settings home there too (the titlebar quick-toggle stays). Relocated i18n copy
into `settings.system` across en/zh/zh-hant/ja; wired the `system` route into
the SettingsView union + allowlist + nav.
LiveDuration returned a bare string with proportional digits, so the
statusbar reflowed every second as the timer ticked. Extract a shared
StableText component that renders each character in its own 1ch-wide
cell, preventing any digit from shifting the layout — works with the
proportional sans font, no need for font-mono.
Both LiveDuration (statusbar session/running timers) and
ActivityTimerText (tool activity timers) now use StableText, dropping
the font-mono + tabular-nums workaround from the latter.
Also renames statusbar.ts → statusbar.tsx since LiveDuration now
returns JSX.
The boot-failure screenshot showed a progress bar because of two bugs:
1. waitForBootFailure matched on "Let's get you setup" (the onboarding
header that mounts from frame 1 during normal boot), so the screenshot
fired at ~86% progress while the Preparing component's progress bar was
still painted.
2. The Preparing component kept rendering the progress bar even after
boot.error was set — it just turned the bar red and appended the error
text below it.
Fixes:
- Preparing bails out (returns null) when boot.error is set, so
BootFailureOverlay (z-1400) owns the screen exclusively.
- applyDesktopBootProgress no longer clobbers a previously-set boot.error
when a late progress event arrives with error: null — failDesktopBoot is
terminal for the boot cycle.
- waitForBootFailure guards against progress bars being visible and matches
on actual failure signals (error toast, Retry/Repair buttons), not the
onboarding header.
- setupDeadBackend now accepts { fakeError: true } which injects
HERMES_DESKTOP_BOOT_FAKE_ERROR to trigger a real boot failure — the
previous dead-provider fixture never actually caused a boot failure
(hermes serve starts fine; the dead endpoint only matters at chat time).
- boot-failure.spec.ts updated to use { fakeError: true }.
Verified: e2e test passes with 0 progress bars in the DOM at screenshot
time (confirmed via DOM inspection), 16/16 vitest tests pass, typecheck
clean.
Screenshots were catching the app mid-boot at ~92% with the onboarding
Preparing progress bar still visible. waitForAppReady checked for the
composer (textarea/contenteditable) with state:'visible', but Playwright
considers an element visible even when a z-1300+ fixed overlay covers it
(non-zero bounding box, not display:none).
Now waits for the composer to be attached, then polls
document.elementFromPoint at viewport center — if the topmost element is
inside a position:fixed inset:0 overlay, the app isn't ready yet.
Screenshots were catching the CONNECTING overlay and onboarding Preparing
loading bar mid-transition because the wait helpers fire on text content
while visual state lags behind. Fix at the source via reduced motion:
- playwright.config.ts: emulate prefers-reduced-motion: reduce
- styles.css: blanket reduced-motion rule kills all CSS animations/transitions
- gateway-connecting-overlay.tsx: skip JS setTimeout exit choreography
(text-out 360ms + hold 300ms + overlay fade 520ms) — jump straight to gone
- decode-text.tsx: skip scramble interval, render resolved text immediately
The check script ran: typecheck && test && test:desktop:all && build
test:desktop:all calls ensurePackagedApp() → npm run pack, which itself
runs npm run build (vite + electron-main + preload + stage-native-deps)
before electron-builder --dir. The trailing npm run build was rebuilding
the exact same dist/ output a second time. electron-builder --dir reads
dist/ as input and doesn't mutate it, so nothing between the two builds
invalidates the first one.
On the CI linux runner this saves the vite+bundle build (~5s) on every
js-tests run. The postbuild assert-dist-built.mjs still runs as part of
pack's build step.
The visual diff summary told reviewers to 'download and open to compare'
instead of linking to the actual run's artifacts page. Now links directly
to the run's /artifacts page and lists both artifacts with descriptions.
Also, screenshots that matched their baselines were never written to
test-results/, so the artifact only contained screenshots that diffed.
Now the actual screenshot is always written to the output dir regardless
of match/diff, so CI artifacts include every screenshot.
Adds a full desktop Playwright E2E suite that launches the Electron app
against a mock inference server, exercising the full boot chain:
electron -> hermes serve -> mock provider -> renderer
Includes:
- Mock OpenAI-compatible inference server (mock-server.ts)
- Shared fixtures with sandbox isolation (credentials, HERMES_HOME,
userData, fixed window-state.json for reproducible screenshots)
- Test specs: boot, boot-failure, onboarding, mock-backend-setup, chat,
and packaged-app launch
- Visual regression: expectVisualSnapshot() wraps toHaveScreenshot in
try/catch so diffs are reported without failing the test suite
- CI workflow: xvfb at 1280x1024, baseline cache from main
(--update-snapshots on main, compare on PRs), step summary table with
diff/actual/expected image links, dedicated visual-diffs artifact
- dev:mock script for local fake-provider development
- test:e2e:visual + test:e2e:update-snapshots scripts using cage
- .gitignore: *-snapshots/ (baselines cached in CI, not committed)
- Type gatewayState in session store
- Electron main.ts: force-show window for e2e test workers
- tsconfig: include e2e test types
- nix/devShell.nix: add cage for headless visual testing on tiling WMs
* fix(desktop): preserve interim assistant text wiped at message.complete
When the agent emits interim text (commentary alongside tool calls, or the
attempted final answer before a verify-on-stop nudge), all UI surfaces
streamed it live but then wiped it at message.complete — keeping only the
final response. The user saw text appear during inference, then disappear.
This is the complete fix across all three layers: agent core, gateway
transport, and all UI surfaces (desktop + Ink TUI).
The verify-on-stop and pre_verify paths flagged the assistant's attempted
final answer as _verification_stop_synthetic, suppressing it from both
state.db and the UI. The user only saw the terse post-verification reply.
Now the assistant response is real content: it's persisted to state.db and
emitted as an interim message via _emit_interim_assistant_message(force_display=True)
before the verification loop runs. Only the synthetic nudge messages keep
the synthetic flags. The turn finalizer drops nudges from live history and
compares content (not just role) to avoid duplicating a published candidate.
Message sequence repair collapses verification candidates in the
consecutive-assistant merge.
Wire agent.interim_assistant_callback both at construction (_agent_cbs())
and per-turn (defense-in-depth), emitting a new message.interim event with
{text, already_streamed}. Gated on display.interim_assistant_messages
(default true). Cleared in the finally block so a stale closure can't
fire on a later turn.
Add message.interim to the GatewayEventName union (apps/shared) and a
typed payload to the TUI's GatewayEvent discriminated union.
The TUI already had the segment-anchoring machinery (flushStreamingSegment +
finalTail) but had no handler for message.interim. Added recordInterimMessage
+ interimBoundaryIndex to seal segments mid-turn, and updated
recordMessageComplete to only dedupe segments after the interim boundary.
Replaced the fragile sealed-set approach with a proper interimBoundaryPending
state flag on ClientSessionState. finalizeInterimAssistantMessage finalizes
the streaming bubble in place (or creates a standalone one), rotates the
stream ID so next deltas create a new bubble, and sets the flag. When the
final text equals an already-sealed interim, they stay as distinct messages.
Extracted mergeFinalAssistantText() as a pure function in chat-messages.ts,
used by both completeAssistantMessage and finalizeInterimAssistantMessage.
Split the bidirectional dedup predicate: reasoning is a restatement only when
the final FULLY covers it. A short final ("Done.") no longer swallows a
longer reasoning block that merely starts with it.
Honor display.interim_assistant_messages (default true) across all layers:
the tui_gateway gates the callback, the desktop wires it to a nanostores
atom via use-hermes-config. Updated hermes_cli/config.py and
cli-config.yaml.example comments to document the Desktop behavior.
_split_segment_tokens now accepts posix=False and _find_ad_hoc_match tries
both posix modes so ad-hoc verification scripts with Windows backslash
paths are matched correctly. (response_previewed forwarding from #53553
is not included — our emit-interim + persist approach makes it unnecessary
since the attempted answer is now surfaced before the verification loop.)
- tsc: clean (desktop + TUI + shared)
- vitest desktop: 73/73 pass (7 interim-sealing + 5 mergeFinalAssistantText + 4 config atom)
- vitest TUI: 83/83 pass (4 new message.interim tests)
- python: 390 tests pass (340 tui_gateway + 33 verification/finalizer + 6 config gating + 3 evidence + 8 continuation budget)

* fix: prefix-match interim streamed content to avoid benign duplicate bubbles
_interim_content_was_streamed used exact equality (streamed == visible_content),
so a final response that was the streamed text plus a trailing delta — or a
partial stream before the verify nudge fired — failed the match and left
_response_was_previewed false. The turn then showed two bubbles (interim +
identical final) instead of settling the interim in place.
Relax to a prefix check (visible_content.startswith(streamed)) in both the
core match and the desktop's settle-in-place gate. The TUI already used
prefix matching via finalTail. The reverse direction (streamed longer than
final) is intentionally not matched — that could suppress a needed resend
in the gateway path where already_streamed=True calls on_segment_break().
* test(desktop): add partial-stream-then-nudge dedup edge case
Third edge case for the interim-sealing dedup: model streams part of its
answer via message.delta, verify nudge fires, interim seals the streamed
prefix, then the final response is the same text plus a trailing delta.
Asserts one bubble (not two) containing the full final text.
Acceptance protocol #2 — covers all three dedup edges:
1. interim == final (existing)
2. interim = strict prefix of final (existing)
3. partial-stream-then-nudge (this commit)

Detect the remote platform on connect and Test SSH: uname first (Linux/Darwin
keep the POSIX lifecycle), else an encoded-PowerShell probe that routes a
Windows host through connectWindowsRemote. The Windows lifecycle mirrors the
POSIX one — probe, one-shot token upload, spawn, readiness scrape, tunnel,
reuse-by-exact-ownership, and teardown — over a PowerShell helper dialect.
Preserve a backend on indeterminate process state (never destroy on unknowns);
a thrown terminate aborts before remove-lock so a live backend is never
orphaned. Interactive terminals on a Windows backend open PowerShell in the
requested cwd instead of a POSIX login shell.
