- Gateway status popout: flatten the header to stacked connection + inference
statuses with system-panel and restart actions (reusing the shared
runGatewayRestart helper). The recent-activity tail is now live while the
popout is open via the shared LogView (WS connection churn filtered), and the
icon / "View all logs" link dismiss the popover.
- Statusbar "menu" items accept a menuContent(close) render fn over a now
controlled DropdownMenu, so popover content can close itself.
- Drop the always-on gateway-log poll from useStatusSnapshot (logs are fetched
by the popout only while open).
- SearchField → text-xs to match Input/Select (controlVariants).
- Command center: remove the usage/system section dividers, swap the sessions
nav icon (Pin → MessageCircle), small padding tweaks.
Bring apps/desktop and ui-tui to a clean state for typecheck, eslint,
and prettier:
- Run prettier across both trees (printWidth/wrap drift; prettier is not
CI-enforced for these JS projects, so main had accumulated drift).
- Apply eslint --fix for padding-line-between-statements and perfectionist
import/export sorting.
- Manual fixes for non-auto-fixable rules:
- remove unused node:net import in electron/main.cjs (uses Electron net)
- replace inline `typeof import(...)` annotations with top-level
`import type * as EnvModule` in two ui-tui test files
- scoped eslint-disable no-control-regex on intentional sentinel/ANSI
regexes (mathUnicode.ts, text.ts)
- resolve react-hooks/exhaustive-deps per-case: correct swapped/missing
deps, collapse redundant session.* members, and justified disables on
settings mount-only data-load effects to preserve run-once behavior
No behavior changes; test pass/fail counts are unchanged from the main
baseline.
Live-measure WCO width in the renderer, drop the right rail below the titlebar
band, and re-enable GPU compositing under WSLg when /dev/dxg is present.
* feat(moa): expose MoA presets as selectable virtual models
Reconstructed onto current main (PR #46081's base had diverged with no common
ancestor, marking the PR dirty so CI never dispatched). MoA is now a virtual
provider: each named preset is a selectable model under provider 'moa', and the
preset's aggregator is the acting model that answers and calls tools.
Reference models fan out in parallel via a bounded ThreadPoolExecutor (the same
batch pattern delegate_task uses) — all references dispatched at once, collected
when every one finishes, then handed to the aggregator. Output order is
preserved, failures and the MoA-recursion guard stay isolated per reference.
- Removed the old mixture_of_agents model tool and moa toolset.
- Added moa as a virtual provider in the provider/model inventory.
- /moa is shortcut behavior over model selection (default preset / named preset
/ one-shot prompt).
- Dashboard + Desktop manage named presets; presets appear in model pickers.
- Parallel reference fan-out in agent/moa_loop.py with regression test.
* fix(moa): thread moa_config through _run_agent to _run_agent_inner
The reconstructed gateway MoA wiring declared moa_config on _run_agent (the
profile-scoping wrapper) and used it inside _run_agent_inner, but the wrapper
never forwarded it — _run_agent_inner had no such parameter, so the runtime hit
NameError: name 'moa_config' is not defined on the compression-failure session
sync path. Add moa_config to _run_agent_inner's signature and forward it from
both wrapper call sites (multiplex and non-multiplex). Caught by
tests/gateway/test_compression_failure_session_sync.py on CI shard test(4).
* fix(moa): classify moa as a virtual provider in the catalog
The moa virtual provider has no PROVIDER_REGISTRY/ProviderProfile entry, so
provider_catalog() fell through to the default auth_type="api_key" with no
env vars — tripping two catalog invariants:
- test_provider_catalog: api_key providers must expose a credential env var
- test_provider_parity: every hermes-model provider must be desktop-configurable
moa already declares auth_type="virtual" in HERMES_OVERLAYS; consult that
overlay as an auth_type fallback so the catalog reports moa as virtual (no real
credential, no network endpoint). Exempt virtual providers from the desktop
parity union check the same way 'custom' is exempt — derived from the catalog,
not a hardcoded slug, so future virtual providers are covered too.
Statusbar items declared a 'title' string (e.g. YOLO, gateway health,
agents, cron, version, context usage) that was populated by
use-statusbar-items.tsx but never forwarded to the rendered DOM in
StatusbarControls — so every statusbar button/menu/text/link had no
hover hint.
Wrap the four render branches (menu trigger, text, link, action) in
the existing 'Tip' component from components/ui/tooltip.tsx. Tip is
self-contained (carries its own Provider), instant (delayDuration=0),
themed (bg-foreground/text-background, auto-inverts per theme), and
already in use elsewhere in the desktop shell. Renders the child
untouched when label is falsy, so items without a title stay
zero-cost.
The status-bar "Agents" item conflated three unrelated signals — running
subagents (aggregated across all sessions), in-flight session turns, and
failed background *system* actions (gateway restarts, toolset installs,
computer-use grants via $desktopActionTasks/preview restart) — yet
clicking it opens AgentsView, which renders only subagents. A failed
gateway restart therefore showed "Agents (1 Failed)" over an empty
"No live subagents" tree. AgentsView also filtered to the active session,
so a subagent running in a background session showed "Agents N running"
with nothing in the tree (the desync reported in #49808).
Unify the scope both surfaces speak:
- AgentsView aggregates subagents across every session (salvages #49819).
- The indicator's running/failed counts come from subagents only
(aggregated), never background system actions — those keep their own
surfaces in settings / command center.
So "Agents (N …)" now always points at a populated Spawn tree.
Supersedes #49819. Fixes#49808.
The composer model picker capped each provider's search matches at 12
(PER_PROVIDER_SEARCH). A provider serving more than 12 models (e.g.
opencode-go with 19) showed only a truncated subset when the user typed
its name to find it — exactly the models they were searching for got
cut. Edit Models showed the full list because it never applied this cap.
A search is already a narrowing action, so capping a single provider's
own matches is wrong. Remove the slice; search now lists every matching
model for the provider. The no-search default still shows the curated
top-N per provider via the visibility set.
Follow-up to #47077 (the backend dedup fix); this closes the remaining
frontend truncation users saw in the composer.
Add the in-window floating pet (sprite, speech bubble, contact shadow,
profile-scoped, resize-safe) and a pop-out always-on-top overlay window
with gestures and notifications. Add the Cmd+K pet picker page plus the
appearance gallery and size slider in settings. Includes the pet stores,
electron overlay wiring, i18n strings, and store tests.
- Peel-off undock drops the floating composer under the cursor (centered
horizontally, preserving the vertical grab offset) instead of snapping to
the docked corner.
- Unify the / · @ · ? completion drawer and the attach (+) menu onto one
shared glassy panel primitive (composerPanelCard): smallest theme font,
hairline border, nous shadow; floats off the composer, inset from the left.
- Directive chips: Backspace removes the chip + its auto-inserted trailing
space atomically (no orphaned space), and a phantom trailing block left by
contenteditable no longer falsely expands the composer to two rows.
- Model picker: scroll area capped at max(150px, 30dvh); footer rows aligned
(matching icons, dropped a redundant margin).
- Composer focus shifts the border ~15% toward foreground (no fill change);
input is cursor-text; trimmed control icon/button sizes.
Add a shared runGatewayRestart() (store/system-actions.ts) and wire it to a
new Cmd+K "Restart gateway" action. While a restart is in flight the
statusbar "Gateway" item swaps its icon for the TUI glyph spinner and reads
"restarting…", returning to its real state on completion — driven by a
$gatewayRestarting atom, not a transient toast or the generic "Agents
running" counter. The helper owns its error handling so fire-and-forget
callers can't leak an unhandled rejection; only a failure toasts.
The desktop model picker had no way to force a fresh model fetch: model.options
went through the 1h-cached provider_models_cache.json, and there was no flag to
bust it. When a provider's cached list expired and its next live fetch failed,
the picker fell back to the curated static list — silently dropping live-only
models (e.g. OpenCode Zen's free tier like deepseek-v4-flash-free) the user had
been using.
- Thread refresh through model.options (RPC + REST /api/model/options) ->
build_models_payload -> list_authenticated_providers, which calls
clear_provider_models_cache() up front when set so every row re-fetches live.
- Add a 'Refresh Models' control to the desktop picker (5-locale i18n, spinning
sync icon). Normal opens leave refresh=false to stay snappy on the cache.
Verified: stale cache hides deepseek-v4-flash-free -> refresh busts it -> live
re-fetch surfaces it. refresh=false never touches the cache.
* fix(desktop): keep the pre-session model pick selected in the picker
The composer picker derived its "current" row from `model.options ?? store`,
so model.options always won. Pre-session that query returns the PROFILE
DEFAULT, not the sticky composer pick — so selecting a model before a session
exists left the checkmark (and the picker's "current" line) on the default,
making the pick look ignored even though the pill updated.
Add `currentPickerSelection()`: with a live session the gateway's model.options
is authoritative; pre-session the sticky `$currentModel`/`$currentProvider`
wins, falling back to options. Wire it into ModelMenuPanel and ModelPickerDialog.
* feat(desktop): global reasoning/speed defaults in Settings → Model
The composer picker is now sticky-UI/per-session only and never writes the
profile default (#46959), but Settings → Model had no reasoning/speed control
and `agent.reasoning_effort` wasn't in the curated config surface at all
(`service_tier` was buried in Advanced) — so there was nowhere to set the
profile default that crons/subagents/messaging resolve from.
Add capability-gated Reasoning (effort) + Fast controls beside the main model,
gated by the applied model's reported capabilities (reasoning defaults on, fast
off when unreported — same as the composer). They read/write `agent.reasoning_effort`
and `agent.service_tier` by round-tripping the config record, matching the
gateway's value semantics (service_tier "fast"/"priority"/"on" ⇒ fast).
* refactor(desktop): don't open the reasoning select from its row label
A <label> wrapping the Select forwarded text clicks to the trigger, opening
the dropdown unexpectedly. Plain row for reasoning; Fast stays a <label> so
clicking its text toggles the switch (expected for a checkbox-like control).
* feat(desktop): stream subagent replies into watch windows
A desktop watch window resumes a child session lazily (no full agent) and
mirrors the parent-relayed `subagent.*` events into native child-session
stream events. The child's streamed reply text was never relayed, so the
window sat blank while the subagent "talked".
- delegate_tool: forward the child's `run_conversation` stream tokens up the
progress relay as `subagent.text` (inert under CLI/TUI — their progress
handlers ignore non-tool event types; only a gateway watch window mirrors it).
- server: mirror `subagent.text` -> `message.delta` on the child sid only, and
skip the parent emit (per-token frames are meaningless on the parent session,
which shows the child via the spawn tree). Demote `subagent.start` to a
one-time goal header and drop the noisy `subagent.progress` mirror — tools
already mirror natively.
- server: guard `_start_agent_build` so a lazy watch session spectating an
in-flight child stays lazy; incidental RPCs were upgrading it to a full
agent mid-stream and silently killing the mirror.
* fix(desktop): keep watch-window chat clear of titlebar chrome
Secondary windows (new-session scratch, subagent watch, cmd-click pop-out)
hide the titlebar tool cluster + session header, so the transcript ran to the
window's top edge and streamed text slid up under the OS traffic lights.
- Gate the hidden chrome on `isSecondaryWindow()` everywhere (app-shell,
chat header, thread list) instead of the narrower new-session flag.
- Add a fixed opaque drag-strip at the top of the secondary-window transcript:
content padding alone scrolls away with the text, so the strip masks
anything behind it and keeps the window draggable like the main header.
* fix: WSL subagent window
* fix: subagent window top padding

Clicking a model row in the composer dropdown now commits and closes the menu
(via a close context); the hover-revealed reasoning/fast submenu stays open to
tweak. The pill shows a quiet braille loader instead of literal "No model"
until one resolves, and steer takes over the mic slot while typing into a
running agent.
The picker no longer touches the profile default. Model/effort/fast live as
plain UI state persisted in localStorage, so a pick follows across Cmd+N and
restarts instead of snapping back. New chats ship that state through
session.create as per-session overrides; live chats still scope switches to the
current session. Settings -> Model remains the only surface that writes the
profile default.
The gateway now accepts those session.create overrides, builds the agent with
them directly, reflects them in the immediate session.info payload, and writes
the chat's own model_config into the lazy DB row so reconnect/resume restores
that chat instead of the global default.
Each model remembers its own reasoning effort / fast mode (localStorage,
like model-visibility): editing a model's effort/fast in the submenu
writes its preset, and selecting a model restores its preset onto the
session (capability-gated, Hermes defaults when unset). Every row shows
its own remembered settings (grayed), and the row label and edit submenu
read the same effective value so they can't disagree.
Presets are desktop-client state only — applyModelPreset() no-ops without
a live session id, so selecting a model can't fall through to the
gateway's persistent agent.reasoning_effort / agent.service_tier writes.
Inactive variant `-fast` edits stay preset-only: toggleFast() records
{ fast } on the base model and only swaps models when the row is active,
and selectFamily() honors a saved variant-fast preset by selecting the
`-fast` sibling id.
Relocate the model pill to the composer, left of the mic. A new
ModelPill reuses the live ModelMenuPanel dropdown verbatim (single
click target) and the formatModelStatusLabel "Model · Fast Med" label,
anchored to its right edge so the menu doesn't drift with model-name
length. modelMenuContent now flows to ChatView instead of
useStatusbarItems, and the status-bar model-summary item is removed;
the pill subscribes to the model atoms directly and falls back to the
full picker when the gateway is closed.
* feat(desktop): session-scoped status stack + kill new-window theme flash
Stack subagents, background tasks, and the queue into one collapsible
"sink" above the composer, reusing the queue's chrome so every status
reads as one piece. Extracts shared StatusSection / StatusRow /
TerminalOutput primitives and a unified $statusItemsBySession store
(subagents mirrored, background owned here, merged + grouped for render).
Renames BrailleSpinner → GlyphSpinner now that it drives more than braille.
Separately, fix the white flash on every new/cmd-clicked window: macOS
`vibrancy` paints an NSVisualEffectView that follows the OS appearance and
ignores `backgroundColor`, so a dark app on a light-mode Mac flashed white
until the renderer painted over it. Pin `nativeTheme.themeSource` to the
app theme (persisted to userData so cold launches paint right before the
renderer loads), hold windows with `show:false` until `ready-to-show`, and
pre-paint the themed background via an inline script before the bundle runs.
* feat(desktop): dock the slash popover to the composer via one shared fill var
The slash·@ popover (and ? help) now docks onto the composer's edge with the
same chrome as the queue/status stack — rounded outer corners, fused borderless
edge, no shadow — but keeps its own narrow width.
Surface + drawer paint a single --composer-fill var; the state ladder
(rest / scrolled / focused / drawer-open) lives once in styles.css on
[data-slot='composer-root']. The :has() drawer-open rule is last and forces an
opaque fill, since translucent glass sampling different backdrops (thread vs
fade gradient) can never match. This replaces the focus-within !important
override that repainted the surface behind every previous matching attempt.
Also drop the chevron column from the project file tree — the folder open/closed
icon already carries the expand state.
* feat(desktop): base inset for file tree rows (post-chevron alignment)
* feat(desktop): wire the status stack's background tasks to the real process registry
The background group was UI-only (dev-mock seeded). Now it's live e2e:
- tui_gateway: new session-scoped `process.list` (registry snapshot filtered
by the session's session_key, plus a 4KB output tail for the inline
terminal viewer) and `process.kill` (single process, ownership-checked —
unlike process.stop's kill_all).
- Renderer: `reconcileBackgroundProcesses` syncs snapshots into the store
layout-stably — rows keep their position when state flips (never re-sort),
new processes append, unchanged rows keep object identity so memoised rows
skip re-rendering, and a dismissed-set stops the registry's retained
finished procs from resurrecting X-ed rows.
- Refresh triggers: session open, terminal/process tool.complete,
status.update(kind=process) from the gateway's notification poller, and a
5s poll armed only while a running row is visible (catches silent exits).
- Stop = real `process.kill` + optimistic dismiss; Dismiss = client-side
with resurrection guard.
- Re-keyed the stack to the RUNTIME session id: it was keyed by the stored
session id, where neither subagent events nor process.list would ever land.
- Deleted dev-status-mocks.ts (__hermesStatusMocks) — no more seed shit.
Reconcile invariants covered in store/composer-status.test.ts.
* feat(desktop): todos + openable subagents in the status stack, self-healing file tree
- todo lists move out of the inline chat panel into the composer status stack
(checklist icon, dashed ring = pending, spinner = in progress, check = done),
fed live from todo tool events and seeded from history on session open
- subagent rows carry the child's real session id end-to-end
(delegate_tool → gateway → renderer) so clicking one opens ITS session window
- status stack publishes its measured height so the thread's bottom clearance
grows with it; card paints the shared --composer-fill so focused/scrolled
states match the composer exactly
- file tree self-heals: ENOENT roots retry on a 3s cadence + Try again button,
and the main process expands ~ in IPC paths (gateway cwds arrive as ~/...)
- composer drag-drop of tree entries inserts inline refs instead of attachments
* fix(desktop): file tree falls back to the workspace dir when a session's cwd is gone
Sessions record their launch cwd; deleted worktrees leave that path dead,
so opening such a session swapped the tree from the default workspace to a
directory that ENOENTs forever — the 3s retry just spun on it. On a root
read error the tree now asks main to sanitize the cwd (prefers the
configured default project dir), displays that fallback, and quietly
re-probes the original path so it switches back if the dir reappears.
* feat(desktop): working restore-checkpoint button on past user prompts
The discard icon on hover of a past user bubble was decorative — clicking
did nothing. It's now a real control: a confirmation dialog explains that
everything after the prompt is removed, then the session rewinds to that
turn and reruns the same prompt (prompt.submit with
truncate_before_user_ordinal, the same mechanism the edit composer uses).
Failures rethrow into the dialog's inline error instead of toasting.
* fix(desktop): show the restore-checkpoint button on the latest user prompt too
Restoring the most recent prompt is just 'retry this turn' — no reason to
exclude it. Stop still takes the slot while the turn is running.
* fix(desktop): finished todo lists clear themselves out of the status stack
A list whose every item is completed/cancelled lingers ~4s so the final
checkmark is visible, then the todo group drops out of the stack. A fresh
active list arriving within the linger cancels the scheduled clear.
* chore(desktop): drop dead editableCheckpoint copy, terser restore confirm
* fix(desktop): rewind clears the abandoned timeline's todos + background
Restoring to (or editing) an earlier prompt rewinds the conversation, but
the todos and background processes spawned by the now-discarded turns kept
showing in the status stack — and the real background processes kept
running. Both rewind paths now clear the session's todo rows and kill +
drop its background processes before the fresh run repopulates them. Also
drops the click-to-edit clamp transition, which flashed a half-expanded
bubble on the way into the edit composer.
* feat(desktop): user messages are always editable; edit/restore revert mid-stream
The bubble is now always click-to-edit — even while a turn streams — instead
of going inert during a run. Sending an edit acts like restore: it rewinds to
that prompt and re-runs with the new text. Both edit and restore can fire
mid-stream now; the gateway refuses prompt.submit while a turn runs (4009
"session busy"), so they interrupt the live turn first and retry the submit
until the cooperative interrupt winds it down. Restore (re-run as-is) shows on
every prompt except the latest running one, which keeps the Stop button.
* fix(desktop): label preview-pane ⌘L selections with the filename, not "zsh"
The terminal owns a global ⌘/Ctrl+L "send selection to composer" shortcut, so
selecting text in the file preview pane and hitting it fell through to the
terminal handler — which imported the right text but labelled the composer ref
"zsh:N lines" off the shell name. When the selection isn't an xterm selection,
label it with the previewed file instead.
* fix(desktop): ⌘L on a preview line selection inserts the @line ref, like dragging
The source preview lets you select lines in the gutter and drag them into the
composer as an @line:path:start-end ref. ⌘/Ctrl+L now does the same when a line
selection is active — it drops the identical ref instead of falling through to
the terminal's global handler (which grabbed the native text selection and sent
a bogus terminal block). Capture-phase + stopPropagation so it wins; with a line
selection there's no native selection, so the terminal handler stays out of it.
* chore: gitignore apps/desktop/demo/ scratch output
The desktop demo prompt writes demo/*.txt during recorded walkthroughs; it's
throwaway, never part of the app. Ignore it so it stops cluttering git status.
* feat(desktop): subagent watch windows, hard stop, sidebar hygiene
Child-session mirror for live subagent windows, delegate sessions tagged
and excluded from the sidebar, composer focus/stop polish, and WS stall
resilience on the gateway transport.
* refactor: DRY delegate SQL + trim status-stack noise
Extract shared listable-child and delegate-delete helpers in hermes_state,
collapse cancelRun busy release, and cut comment bloat in resume/status paths.
* fix(desktop): hide orphaned subagent sessions in sidebar
Cascade-delete all ephemeral children on parent delete (not just tagged rows),
run v16 backfill to tag legacy orphans, and record new delegates as source=subagent.
* fix: restore orphan contract for untagged children + lazy session eviction
Cascade-delete only _delegate_from-tagged rows (v16 backfill covers legacy),
walk marker chains recursively with FK-safe orphaning, gate lazy watch
sessions out of the still-starting eviction exemption via an explicit flag,
pass session_id to _make_agent only when resuming, and hide source=subagent
from session search.
* fix(gateway): gate child mirror off upgraded sessions + age out stale run entries
Review findings: the mirror could interleave synthetic events with a real
native stream once a watch window upgrades (prompt.submit builds an agent),
and a lost subagent.complete left _active_child_runs pinning running=true
forever. Mirror now stops when the live session owns an agent; liveness
reads ignore entries older than an hour.
* fix(gateway): reject prompt.submit into a watch session while its child runs
A lazy watch session's running flag is False (the run lives in the parent
turn), so typing mid-run sailed past the busy guard and built a second agent
racing the in-flight child on the same stored session. Busy error until the
run completes; afterwards the submit upgrades into a normal conversation.
* refactor(gateway): DRY watch-resume payload + compose listable-child SQL
Fold the duplicated child-run busy overlay into one _reuse_live_payload
helper across both resume reuse paths, collapse the twin mirror early-returns,
and build _LISTABLE_CHILD_SQL from _BRANCH_CHILD_SQL instead of restating it.
* fix(desktop): clip horizontal overflow on sidebar scroll areas
Add overflow-x-hidden alongside overflow-y-auto on session list scrollers
and the shared SidebarContent primitive — vertical scroll unchanged.
* fix(desktop): keep model runtime state per session
(cherry picked from commit f72ee87d99ee38cb7b5badeb9a8af869bb92073a)
* fix(desktop): keep footer model state scoped to active session
(cherry picked from commit d91942ebd4671ff857b5c8526dbf133f04782ecb)
* fix(desktop): restore stored runtime when resuming sessions
(cherry picked from commit 32b3793418257617b8da57e26151f079c2620d00)
* fix(desktop): persist live runtime changes for resume
(cherry picked from commit c58467779436dcef44a80ad55b52664752dc0837)
* fix(desktop): persist resumed endpoint runtime
* chore(attribution): map pinguarmy's commit email in AUTHOR_MAP
The salvaged commits on this branch preserve @pinguarmy's authorship
(郝鹏宇 / peterhao@Peters-MacBook-Air.local). Add the mapping so the
check-attribution CI gate resolves the email to the GitHub username.

* refactor(desktop): dock terminal under chat and simplify file rail
Keep the right rail focused on file browsing while moving the persistent terminal into the chat column bottom slot, and make terminal colors follow the active light/dark mode instead of a fixed Solarized palette.
* fix(desktop): make the terminal a resizable, themed side pane
- Move the terminal into a resizable pane (viewport-% widths) that shares
<main>'s stacking context, so its drag handle no longer sits under the
fixed terminal overlay; works on either rail side.
- Restore +x on node-pty's spawn-helper before the first spawn to fix
"posix_spawnp failed" on macOS prebuilds (real cause; drop the redundant
shell-candidate retry loop).
- Gate terminal open/fit/start on document.fonts.ready and strip leading
blank rows (re-armed before the resize Ctrl-L redraw) so the prompt sits
flush at the top with no starship add_newline gap.
- Inherit the app editor-surface color as the terminal background.
- Bind Ctrl+` (⌃` on macOS) to toggle the terminal; add a palette entry.
* feat(desktop): show platform hotkey hints in the command palette
- Render each palette item's live binding as a <KbdGroup> hint via a new
comboTokens() helper (mac shows ⌘/⌃/⌥/⇧, every other platform shows
Ctrl/Alt/Shift — never a ⌘ on PC).
- Default the terminal toggle to ⌘` / Ctrl+` (the ~ key) on both platforms.
- Drop the hardcoded (⌘⏎) baked into the composer steer tooltip; render it
platform-aware with formatCombo instead.
* fix(desktop): drop the active check on the command-palette terminal item
* fix(desktop): remove active/check states from the command palette
* fix(desktop): allow ⌥/Shift-drag selection over mouse-mode TUIs
Full-screen apps (hermes --tui, vim) enable mouse reporting, so a plain
drag can't select text and ⌘/Ctrl+L (add-selection-to-chat) had nothing
to send. Enable macOptionClickForcesSelection so ⌥-drag on macOS (Shift
elsewhere) forces a native selection over mouse-mode apps.
* feat(desktop): tell the in-pane agent it's embedded in the GUI
Set HERMES_DESKTOP_TERMINAL=1 on the terminal pane's shell env and surface
it in build_environment_hints, so a hermes/--tui launched inside the pane
knows it's next to the GUI chat and that ⌥/Shift-drag + ⌘/Ctrl+L sends a
selection to the composer. Distinct from HERMES_DESKTOP (agent backend).
* refactor(desktop): drop the redundant Ctrl+` terminal-toggle fallback
The toggle now ships as mod+` on both platforms, so the standard combo
index handles it — the bespoke fallback (and its stale 'old default'
comment) is dead weight.
* fix(desktop): read live terminal selection for ⌘/Ctrl+L
A redraw-heavy TUI (spinners/clocks) outruns onSelectionChange, leaving the
React selection state empty so the state-gated shortcut listener never
attached and ⌘L no-op'd. Always listen and read xterm's live selection (with
a native fallback) at press time; only swallow the key when there's text to
send. Drops the now-redundant custom key handler.
* feat(desktop): make any agent aware it's in the Hermes desktop GUI
Generalize the runtime-surface hint: fire for HERMES_DESKTOP (the backend
powering the GUI chat) as well as HERMES_DESKTOP_TERMINAL (a hermes in the
embedded terminal pane), so it's about being inside the desktop GUI, not
about being a TUI. The terminal-pane selection note stays pane-specific.
* feat(desktop): give the GUI agent a read_terminal tool
The in-app terminal buffer lives in the renderer (xterm), so expose it to the
chat agent over the same blocking bridge clarify uses: read_terminal emits
terminal.read.request, the renderer serializes the buffer (visible screen by
default, or a start_line/count range against total_lines) and answers
terminal.read.respond. Gated to the GUI via HERMES_DESKTOP.
Also restores the flipped-layout titlebar inset fix (app-shell +
desktop-controller) for terminal/preview rails at the window's left edge.
* chore(desktop): trim read_terminal comments
* feat(desktop): add a terminal toggle to the statusbar
The file rail lost its terminal icon, leaving ⌘` and the command palette
as the only ways in. Add a one-click toggle to the statusbar's left
cluster, mirroring the command-center item: it reads $terminalTakeover so
it lights up while the pane is open and stays in sync with the hotkey, and
is gated to chat view (the only place the pane can show).
* fix(desktop): relabel the terminal header button to what it does
The in-pane button claimed a focus/split fullscreen toggle ("Focus
terminal view" / "Return to split view", screen-full/normal icons), but
the terminal is just a resizable side pane — there's no fullscreen. The
button only mounts while the pane is open, so the focus branch was dead
and clicking it merely closed the terminal. Relabel to "Hide terminal"
with a close icon, drop the dead conditional and the now-unused takeover
read.
* fix(desktop): move the terminal toggle next to the version item
Relocate it from the left cluster to the right of the statusbar, just
left of the client version item.
* feat(desktop): default the terminal to PowerShell on Windows
Prefer pwsh (7+) then Windows PowerShell 5.1 over cmd.exe, falling back to
comspec only when neither is present. -NoLogo drops the startup banner so
the prompt sits flush like the POSIX shells.
* feat(desktop): show a persistent divider on the terminal pane
The resize sash only painted on hover, so the terminal/chat boundary was
invisible at rest. Add an opt-in `divider` prop to Pane that paints a thin
resting hairline on the resize edge (side-aware, so it tracks the rail when
the layout flips) and enable it on the terminal pane.
* refactor(desktop): resolve the terminal shell instead of hardcoding it
Make shell selection a real resolver: an explicit override wins
(HERMES_DESKTOP_SHELL on both platforms, $SHELL on POSIX), otherwise
auto-detect the best installed shell — pwsh > Windows PowerShell 5.1 > cmd
on Windows, zsh > bash > sh on POSIX. A shared shellSpecFor() picks the
interactive flags by family, so an overridden bash/pwsh/cmd all launch
correctly.
* fix(desktop): repaint the terminal on light/dark switch
Setting term.options.theme updated colors for the DOM renderer but not the
WebGL one, which caches glyph colors in a texture atlas — so already-drawn
cells kept their old palette after a mode switch. Hold the WebglAddon in a
ref and clear its atlas when the theme changes.
* fix(desktop): match the terminal palette to VS Code Light+/Dark+
Adopt VS Code's exact default ANSI palette (the terminalColorRegistry
defaults), enable minimumContrastRatio: 4.5 so foregrounds are clamped
against the background the way the integrated terminal does, and key the
light/dark choice off renderedMode (the painted surface) instead of
resolvedMode so it can't invert. The canvas + inset paint the live skin
surface (--ui-editor-surface-background) so the terminal blends with the
app and follows light/dark, while the contrast clamp keeps colors crisp.
* fix(desktop): tighten command palette search to substring matching
cmdk's default fuzzy scorer matched anything with the query letters
scattered across an item, so e.g. "color" never narrowed to color
entries. Add a substring filter: every typed word must literally appear
in an item's value/keywords, keeping results tight and predictable.
* fix(desktop): blend the terminal header into the skin surface
The persistent-terminal overlay painted the static palette background
(#1e1e1e/#ffffff), so the transparent header strip revealed a near-black
slab above the surface-colored body. Paint the overlay with the live
--ui-editor-surface-background so header and body read as one pane.
* fix(desktop): re-resolve the terminal surface on skin switch
The canvas surface only re-resolved on light/dark change, so switching
skins at the same mode left the WebGL canvas painted with the old tint
until reload. Key the resolve off themeName too. Also trim the palette
comments.
* chore(desktop): drop redundant terminal theming header comment
Pops a session into a standalone, focused window for side-by-side work.
A secondary window loads the renderer at the session route with a
?win=secondary flag (ahead of the HashRouter '#'); it drops the global
sidebar plus the install/onboarding overlays and renders a single chat,
sharing the one local gateway over WS (no backend duplication). The main
process keys windows by sessionId so re-opening focuses the existing one
and self-cleans on close.
Open it via:
- ⌘-click (mac) / ⌃-click (win/linux) a sidebar session — the universal
"open in new window" gesture. Archive moves to the ⋯ / right-click menus
only, off the easy-to-misfire modifier-click.
- "New window" in the session ⋯ and context menus (link-external icon,
i18n'd across en/ja/zh/zh-hant).
A standalone window has no left rail, so AppShell treats its edge as
uncovered and applies the titlebar inset — the chat title clears the
macOS traffic lights instead of hiding behind them.

Two follow-ups from testing the two-button bar:
- The background poller and focus handler only checked the client, so the
backend behind-count and changelog stayed empty until the user opened the
overlay — and the overlay's first render then hit the empty-commits fallback
('Improvements and fixes') instead of the real changelog. Check the backend
alongside the client on poller start, interval, and focus so its state is
ready before the button is clicked.
- Order the status bar client-first, backend-second.
The status bar merged both versions into one pill with a single click target,
so there was no way to tell which artifact an update acted on — and the apply
path was overloaded by connection mode. Separate them:
- store: independent client (checkUpdates/applyUpdates) and backend
(checkBackendUpdates/applyBackendUpdate) flows with their own status/apply
atoms; openUpdateOverlayFor(target) drives the overlay.
- status bar: two buttons — client vX (always) and backend vY (+N) (remote
only), each with its own behind-count, opening the overlay for its target.
- overlay: reads the active target's atoms; install/check route per target.
Removes the version-bar merge helper (no longer merging the two versions).
In remote thin-client mode the Electron client and the backend it connects to
are separate installs that drift independently. The status bar previously showed
only the client version, hiding skew (e.g. client 0.15.1 talking to backend
0.16.0 looked fine).
Add a pure resolveVersionBar() helper (unit-tested) that, gated on
connection.mode === 'remote', renders both 'client vX · backend vY' from the
desktop appVersion and StatusResponse.version, and flags skew. Local mode is
byte-identical to before. Wire it into the status-bar version item.
* feat(desktop): hover-reveal collapsed chat sidebar as a fixed overlay
When the sessions sidebar is collapsed, hovering the left edge now floats
it back in as a fixed overlay over the main content instead of just being
hidden. The collapsed grid track stays at 0px so the panel never reserves
space — it slides over whatever's underneath and retracts on pointer-leave.
- PaneShell: new hoverReveal prop. When a pane is collapsed + hoverReveal,
render an edge hot-zone + a side-anchored floating panel (absolute, full
height, honors any persisted resize width) that slides in on hover/focus.
- ChatSidebar: force the (otherwise opacity-0 when collapsed) sidebar fully
visible + interactive while the overlay is revealed, via an
in-data-[pane-hover-reveal=open] variant.
- desktop-controller: opt the chat-sidebar pane into hoverReveal.
* feat(desktop): lower window minWidth 900→400
Lets the window shrink to a narrow rail (e.g. for the collapsed
hover-reveal sidebar) instead of being floored at 900px.
* fix(desktop): render full sidebar content in hover-reveal overlay
The hover-reveal overlay showed only the nav rail — session rows, search,
pinned/recents were gated behind `sidebarOpen` (false while collapsed), so
they never mounted in the floated panel.
Add a $sidebarRevealed store the PaneShell overlay drives via a new
onHoverRevealChange callback, and gate ChatSidebar's content on
`sidebarOpen || sidebarRevealed` (contentVisible) instead of raw open
state. The overlay now shows the complete sidebar.
* fix(desktop): drop shadow on hover-reveal sidebar overlay
* feat(desktop): hover-reveal the file-browser sidebar too
The reveal mechanism already lives in the shared Pane primitive — the
right rail just opts in with hoverReveal. Its content renders
unconditionally, so (unlike the chat sidebar) it needs no extra
content-visibility gating.
* clean(desktop): tighten hover-reveal pane code
KISS pass — flatten the translate ternary, derive a single `revealed`,
inline the edge style, drop the redundant set-guard, and trim comments to
the house one-liner style. No behavior change.
* fix(desktop): stop hiding sidebar nav labels on narrow windows
The nav labels (New session, Skills, …) and the ⌘N hint were gated on a
viewport breakpoint (max-[46.25rem]:hidden), so shrinking the window hid
them even when the sidebar itself was wide — including in the hover-reveal
overlay. Drop the gate; the label already truncates (min-w-0 flex-1) so it
ellipsizes gracefully in a narrow rail, and contentVisible already hides it
when collapsed to the icon rail.
* feat(desktop): auto-collapse both sidebars below 600px into hover-reveal
Add a Pane `forceCollapsed` prop — collapses the track without writing to
the store (so the saved open state restores when the window widens) while
keeping hoverReveal alive (unlike `disabled`, which suppresses it).
desktop-controller watches (max-width: 600px) and force-collapses the chat
sidebar + file browser, so on a narrow window both rails get out of the way
and the hover-reveal overlay becomes the way in.
* feat(desktop): hover-intent + refined easing for sidebar reveal
- Gate the reveal on pointer velocity: the full-height edge hot-zone now
only arms on a slow, deliberate pass (<=0.55 px/ms). Fast sweeps toward
the titlebar/statusbar — or off the window — blow past the threshold and
never trigger, so the wide hit area stops being a nuisance.
- Swap the slide easing to cubic-bezier(0.32,0.72,0,1) at 260ms (snappy-out,
soft-land) for a more serious-app feel.
* fix(desktop): don't reveal sidebar during window resize
Resizing the window parks the cursor on the screen edge and fires slow
pointermoves over the hot-zone, reading as deliberate intent. Guard the
reveal on (a) e.buttons !== 0 — any button-held drag, incl. edge-resize —
and (b) a 250ms cooldown after any window resize event.
* feat(desktop): hoverIntent-style poll gate + inert contents during slide
Replace the single-sample velocity check (too eager — fired on any one slow
move, incl. resize drift) with a port of Brian Cherne's hoverIntent: poll
the pointer every 90ms and only arm once it has *settled* (moved <5px between
two consecutive polls inside the edge zone). Fly-bys, pass-throughs, and
resize drift never produce two close samples in a row, so they don't trigger.
Also keep the revealed panel's CONTENTS pointer-events-none until the slide-in
transition finishes (onTransitionEnd → settled), so you can't misclick a
session row mid-animation. Resets on retract.
* fix(desktop): no cursor/hit-test leak before reveal settles
The edge hot-zone showed cursor:pointer the instant the pointer touched it —
before the panel was armed or in view. And contents were inert but the panel
itself still hit-tested, so the cursor could flip mid-slide. Fix: hot-zone is
cursor-default (it's invisible), and the whole panel is pointer-events-none
until revealed && settled, so the cursor never changes or lands on a row
before the slide-in finishes.
* fix(desktop): geometry-driven close so revealed panel always retracts
The revealed panel relied on its own onPointerLeave to close — but a panel
that slid in under a still cursor (or whose contents were inert during the
slide) never fires enter/leave, so it got stuck open (esp. the file browser).
onTransitionEnd also bubbled from the file-tree's own row transitions,
tripping the settled flag wrongly.
Replace with a document-level pointermove watcher that closes once the cursor
leaves the panel's bounding rect + a 24px grace — independent of pointer-events
state or what the contents do. Gate interactivity on a simple slide-duration
timer (interactive) instead of the fragile transitionEnd, so the cursor still
can't flip or land on a row before the panel is in view.
* feat(desktop): make sidebar toggle shortcuts reveal when force-collapsed
mod+b / mod+j were no-ops on a narrow (force-collapsed) window — they
flipped the store but the pane ignores it. Now the toggle handlers also
dispatch PANE_TOGGLE_REVEAL_EVENT; a force-collapsed Pane listens (only while
overlayActive) and flips its hover-reveal, so the shortcut floats the rail in
(and back out) at this responsive breakpoint.
* refactor(desktop): name the 600px sidebar collapse breakpoint
Hoist the inline '(max-width: 600px)' literal into
SIDEBAR_COLLAPSE_BREAKPOINT_PX + SIDEBAR_COLLAPSE_MEDIA_QUERY in
layout-constants, so the responsive collapse point is a single named source
of truth instead of a magic string in the controller.
* tweak(desktop): sidebar auto-collapse breakpoint 600px -> 768px
768 is the standard md breakpoint and a more honest 'no room to dock' point.
* tweak(desktop): halve sidebar reveal slide duration 260ms -> 130ms
* Revert "tweak(desktop): halve sidebar reveal slide duration 260ms -> 130ms"
This reverts commit 6009a13200.
* perf(desktop): pre-mount hover-reveal contents to kill slide-in stall
The reveal mounted the (heavy, virtualized) sidebar contents in the same
frame the slide started, so the browser stalled painting the transform until
the mount finished — a ~100-200ms beat before the panel moved, very visible
on the instant keyboard toggle (hover masked it via the 90ms intent poll).
Report overlayActive (collapsed-overlay mode) rather than the live reveal
state to the mount consumer, so contents stay mounted off-screen while
collapsed and reveal is a pure transform. Visibility is still driven
separately by the data-pane-hover-reveal attr + the slide transform.
* fix(desktop): make reveal hotkey spammable
Two throttles on the reveal toggle:
- The handler fired both the reveal event AND toggleSidebarOpen() per press;
the store write hits localStorage synchronously every keystroke + recomputes
the grid, janking rapid presses. When collapsed, only dispatch the reveal
event (the store toggle was a no-op anyway).
- The geometry close-watcher slammed a keyboard-opened panel shut on the first
stray pointermove (trackpad jitter), fighting hotkey spam. Keyboard reveals
now ignore geometry until the cursor actually enters the panel, then the
mouse takes over.
* fix(desktop): inset reveal hot-zone past the OS window-resize gutter
The hot-zone sat flush at the window edge (left-0/right-0), overlapping the
OS resize grab strip — reaching to drag-resize naturally slows the cursor
there, which hoverIntent reads as settled and reveals before the resize drag
even starts. Inset the hot-zone 8px so the outermost edge stays a pure
resize/drag region and only an intentful move just inside it arms a reveal.
* fix(desktop): keep reveal hot-zone at edge, gate arming past resize gutter
Insetting the hot-zone made it unreachable when moving fast. Instead, anchor
the zone flush at the edge (w-4, always captures the pointer) but only ARM the
reveal when the cursor settles >=8px in from the edge — so a resize-reach that
parks on the outermost OS grab strip never triggers, while a deliberate move
into the zone still does. Keeps polling while in the gutter so moving inward
still arms.
* refactor(desktop): rebuild hover-reveal as pure CSS, delete the JS state machine
The hand-rolled pointer state machine (hoverIntent poll, refs, timers, document
pointermove geometry-close, interactive gate, resize cooldowns, keyboard-held
suppression) was fragile and side/instance-specific — hover broke on the right
rail, keyboard toggles triggered phantom animations, resize popped it open.
Replace all of it with the native primitive: CSS group-hover drives the slide
transform; a transition-delay on enter (instant on leave) is the hover-intent
gate (a fast pass-by doesn't dwell long enough to open); a thin edge trigger
inset past the OS resize grab strip arms it; and a single `forced` bool
(data-forced, toggled by the keyboard event) pins it open. Side-agnostic by
construction — group-hover doesn't care which edge or which pane.
Net: ~200 lines of imperative pointer logic → ~40 lines of declarative CSS.
* fix(desktop): don't animate hover-reveal panel across viewport on side flip
Flipping panes changed the off-screen transform from -translateX (off the
left) to +translateX (off the right). transition-transform interpolated
between them, passing through translate-x-0 (fully on-screen) mid-way — so the
hidden panel visibly slid across the window to reach its new hiding spot.
Key the panel on side so it remounts off-screen on the new edge with no
transition to play.
* clean(desktop): tighten hover-reveal markup
KISS pass on the CSS-driven reveal: reuse the existing `side` instead of a
local `left`, move the static duration/ease to inline style (drop two
single-use CSS vars + their arbitrary-value classes, keep only the
state-dependent enter-delay var), and trim comments to the house one-liner
density. No behavior change.
* fix(desktop): inset titlebar past traffic lights when sidebar is force-collapsed
The titlebar content inset (clearing the macOS traffic lights) keyed off the
stored sidebarOpen/fileBrowserOpen, but below the collapse breakpoint both
rails are force-collapsed so the left edge is uncovered while the store still
says open — content (the intro wordmark) overflowed under the lights. Gate
leftEdgePaneOpen on !narrowViewport using the shared SIDEBAR_COLLAPSE_MEDIA_QUERY.
Also rename the now-misleading reveal plumbing to match what it actually does:
onHoverRevealChange -> onOverlayActiveChange, $sidebarRevealed ->
$sidebarOverlayMounted (+ setter/consumer). It reports/stores collapsed-overlay
mode (mount gate), not live reveal state.
* feat(desktop): small --nous-shadow lift on revealed hover-reveal panels
Add a --nous-shadow token (white-based on light, black-based on dark) and apply
it to the floating sidebar panel only while revealed (group-hover / data-forced)
so it reads as lifted off the surface. No shadow on the off-screen panel.
* feat(desktop): shadow-reveal lift on revealed hover-reveal panels
Mirror the --shadow-nous layered falloff into a new --shadow-reveal token whose
drop color flips per mode (white on light, black on dark) via --shadow-reveal-raw
set in :root / :root.dark. Apply the generated shadow-reveal utility to the
floated panel only while revealed (group-hover / data-forced). Leaves the shared
--shadow-nous untouched.
* feat(desktop): use tuned reveal shadow, drop per-mode token
Replace the --shadow-reveal token machinery with Brooklyn's tuned literal
(0 -18px 18px -5px #0000003b) inline per-panel via --reveal-shadow, y-offset
sign flipped for the right side. Same color both modes. Reverts styles.css to
pristine (token removed).
* fix(desktop): use the reveal shadow verbatim, don't invert it per side
Flipping the y-offset sign for the right side inverted the shadow's direction
(cast-up -> cast-down), making it read heavier — not a mirror. The mirror axis
for a left/right panel is offset-x, which is 0 here, so both sides take the
tuned value as-is: 0 -18px 18px -5px #0000003b.
* clean(desktop): hoist reveal shadow to a named const
Move the inline reveal-shadow literal to HOVER_REVEAL_SHADOW alongside the
other HOVER_REVEAL_* tuning consts; drop the now-stale per-side comment.
* fix(desktop): truncate titlebar title before the right tool cluster
The session title used a hardcoded max-w-[52vw] that's blind to where the
right-side tools start, so it ran under them at narrow widths / with pane
tools present. Bound the title container by the same vars the titlebar drag
region uses (--titlebar-content-inset + --titlebar-tools-right +
--titlebar-tools-width) so it truncates exactly at the cluster's left edge.
* fix(desktop): responsive markdown tables — floor width + nowrap headers
The wrapper had overflow-x-auto but the table was w-full with auto layout, so
instead of scrolling it crushed columns until even header words broke mid-word
(Tim/e, Nig/ht). Add a min-w-[18rem] floor so it scrolls horizontally when the
column is narrower than readable, and whitespace-nowrap on th so headers never
break mid-word. Above the floor it still wraps cells naturally.
* fix intro
The status-bar zap currently toggles per-session approval bypass (the same
scope as the TUI's Shift+Tab). This adds a global escape hatch: Shift+clicking
the zap flips the persistent approvals.mode in config.yaml between "off"
(bypass on) and "manual" (bypass off), affecting every session, the CLI, the
TUI, and cron — and it survives restarts.
- statusbar-controls: thread the click's shiftKey through onSelect via a new
StatusbarSelectModifiers arg.
- yolo-session: add setGlobalYolo() that calls config.set with scope="global".
- use-statusbar-items: branch toggleYolo on modifiers.shiftKey; plain click
stays per-session, Shift+click goes global.
- tui_gateway config.set "yolo" key: add scope="global" that reads/writes
approvals.mode through the gateway's own (mtime-cached) config view, honors
an explicit value, and re-emits session.info to every live session so each
window's zap reflects the flip immediately.
- i18n: tooltip copy in en/ja/zh/zh-hant notes Shift+click toggles globally.
Tests: two new tui_gateway tests cover the global toggle and explicit-value
paths; existing session/process-scope yolo tests still pass.
* fix(desktop): unify dialog/overlay buttons on shared Button component
Replace raw <button> action/text controls across the modal layer (boot
failure, install, update, onboarding, clarify, model-visibility,
notifications, gateway menu) with the shared Button + its variants
(text / ghost / icon-xs). Drops the bespoke square-cornered styling so
every dialog matches the app's slightly-rounded button system, and
swaps clarify-tool's hardcoded "Skip" for the existing i18n string.
* feat(desktop): add dev-only dialog gallery for auditing overlays
A code-split, DEV-gated harness (toggle ⌘/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D) that triggers
every dialog/overlay so their buttons can be eyeballed in one place:
store-driven overlays (boot failure, updates, notifications, sudo/secret)
plus in-place dialogs (confirm, profile create/rename, attach-url, model
picker/visibility, clarify, tool approval). Never ships to production.
* fix(desktop): use Ctrl+Shift+D for dialog gallery (mac-friendly)
The Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D chord is impractical on macOS (Option mangles
the keypress). Ctrl+Shift+D is the same chord on every platform and uses
neither Cmd nor Option.
* fix(desktop): stop overriding button icon size to size-4
Action buttons hardcoded size-4 icons, overriding the Button component's
built-in size-3.5. That extra 2px is why boot-failure / onboarding / gateway
buttons looked chunkier than the settings "Apply" (size-3.5 spinner) despite
being the same component+size. Drop the overrides so icons inherit 3.5.
* feat(desktop): add BrandMark, use it in the updates overlay hero
New BrandMark renders the white logo.png on a hardcoded brand-blue tile
(#0000F2 light / #222 dark), replacing the generic Sparkles hero glyph in
the "update available" overlay. Trying it here first to iterate on the look.
NOTE: apps/desktop/public/logo.png is currently a 1x1 placeholder — the tile
renders now; the glyph appears once the real white logo art is dropped in.
* feat(desktop): add real logo.png asset, render it white in BrandMark
logo.png is blue line-art on transparent, so force it white via filter to
read on both the brand-blue (#0000F2) and near-black (#222) tiles. Bump the
glyph to 62% of the tile for the portrait aspect.
* fix(desktop): BrandMark renders logo as-is, no light bg/radius/padding
Drop the white filter, the hardcoded light-mode blue tile, the radius, and
the inner padding. Logo now fills the tile over a transparent surface in
light mode; dark keeps the #222 tile.
* fix(desktop): bump updates-overlay BrandMark to size-16
* feat(desktop): use downscaled karb.webp in BrandMark
Swap the BrandMark glyph to karb.webp, downscaled from 1129x1418/888KB to
254x320/81KB for the hero badge.
* feat(desktop): use nous-girl mark in BrandMark, invert in dark
Key the white background to transparent so only the black line-art remains
(384px/20KB webp). Light mode shows black art; dark mode flips it white via
dark:invert on the #222 tile. Drop the now-unused karb.webp and logo.png.
* fix(desktop): BrandMark uses nous-girl as-is (no transparent/invert)
The dark-mode invert read as a creepy negative. Use the opaque black-on-white
mark unchanged in both themes; drop the white-key, dark:invert, and #222 tile.
* fix(desktop): give BrandMark an explicit white bg tile
* fix(desktop): use nous-girl.jpg directly in BrandMark
* perf(desktop): downscale nous-girl.jpg to 256x256 (466KB -> 19KB)
* style(desktop): bump nous light --theme-secondary to 14% blue
* fix(desktop): outline button is transparent, not chrome-filled
The outline variant used bg-background (the chrome color), so on cards/overlays
with a different surface it rendered as an odd gray-blue fill (visible on the
boot overlay's Repair install / Use local gateway). Make it bg-transparent so
it inherits the surface like a real outline. Reverts the unrelated
--theme-secondary tweak.
* fix(desktop): clean outline button — thin border, no shadow/fill
Drop shadow-xs and the resting fills (light chrome bg, dark bg-input/30) so
outline is just a thin clean border with a subtle hover, in both themes.
* fix(desktop): stop forcing tertiary bg on outline buttons
A global [data-variant='outline'] rule set background: var(--ui-bg-tertiary),
which (attribute-selector specificity) overrode the cva bg-transparent — so
outline buttons always showed the pale tertiary fill on cards/overlays
regardless of the variant classes. Scope that fill to secondary only; outline
is now a true transparent border.
* style(desktop): unified overlay design system + restore #38631 flat-UI
Overlays/dialogs/toasts share a custom shadow-nous (downward-weighted) and
--stroke-nous hairline instead of hard borders: boot-failure, install,
notifications, model-picker, onboarding, prompt-overlays, updates, Dialog.
- button: outline is a 1px inset ring (no fill/shadow); chrome lives in Button
- BrandMark: 256px nous-girl mark replaces sparkle glyphs (updates/onboarding/about)
- onboarding: conditional header, lemniscate-bloom loaders, OTP device-code boxes,
NOUS CONNECTED hero (ascii decode) + cuneiform easter egg, "Begin" matrix exit
- shared LogView + ErrorState; math/ascii loaders over "Loading..." text
- appearance-settings flattened to SegmentedControl/ListRow; keybind-panel on
shadow-nous + text-variant reset
- restore flat-UI clobbered by #38631's stale-squash (4a1907bd1): command-center,
profiles, skills, messaging, cron de-boxed; shared SearchField + PAGE_INSET_X;
profiles back on OverlaySplitLayout; skills tabs+search one row, no row dividers
* refactor(desktop): clean pass — drop dead code, dedupe, fix stale docs
- log-view: drop unused `bare` prop + forwardRef (no caller uses ref)
- install-overlay: drop `stateOverride` (only the removed dev gallery used it)
- profiles: ProfilesViewProps down to { onClose } (drop vestigial section/titlebar)
- onboarding: hoist shared PROVIDER_ROW_CLASS (was duplicated 2x)
- brand-mark / error-state: tighten comments, fix stale AlertCircle reference
Add a central keybind registry + nanostore so desktop hotkeys are
discoverable and user-rebindable. A titlebar ⌨ button (and ⌘/) opens a
collapsible map grouped by Composer (read-only) / Profiles / Session /
Navigation / View; click any chip to capture a new combo. Overrides
persist to localStorage as a delta against shipped defaults, so future
default changes aren't shadowed by a stored snapshot.
Migrates the previously scattered inline listeners (palette, command
center, new session, sidebar, theme) into the registry, and adds profile
switch/cycle/create + default-profile hotkeys.
Introduce a lightweight React context-based i18n layer for the desktop
app and translate the UI into Simplified Chinese.
- New apps/desktop/src/i18n module: typed Translations interface, en + zh
locale tables, I18nProvider/useI18n, localStorage-persisted locale
(defaults to English), and language endonym metadata for the picker.
- Wire I18nProvider at the app root in main.tsx.
- Refactor 24 desktop screens/components to read strings from the `t`
object instead of hard-coded English.
- Add a unit test for the i18n context.
Add first-class profile support to the desktop app without app reloads.
- Swap the single live gateway onto a session's profile lazily (spawned on
demand by the Electron backend pool), so one backend serves the active
profile and others stay cold — no OOM with many profiles.
- Aggregate sessions across profiles by reading each profile's state.db
read-only; unified "All profiles" view groups sessions per profile with
per-profile pagination, while the default view stays scoped to one profile.
- Add an Arc-style profile rail at the sidebar foot: a default<->all toggle
pinned left, colored named-profile squares scrolling between, Manage pinned
right. Profile identity is a deterministic per-name color.
- Route profile-scoped REST (config/env/skills/tools/model) to the active
gateway profile and invalidate React Query caches on swap. Single-profile
users never trigger a swap, so their path is unchanged.
Backend:
- web_server: profile-aware active/list endpoints + per-profile session
totals; hermes_state: session_count(exclude_children); main.py: honor
--profile over HERMES_HOME env for pooled backends.
UI primitives:
- Add a position-aware Tip tooltip (instant, themed) as a drop-in for native
title=, and strip redundant tooltips from self-descriptive chrome.
- Sidebar toggles in the titlebar no longer carry an active highlight —
they're plain show/hide affordances now.
- Replace every bespoke rounded-full status pill (cron, messaging,
settings, skills) with the shared Badge (adds a `warn` tone). App radius,
one component.
- Cron row actions use Codicons (play/debug-pause/zap/edit/trash) to match
the rest of the chrome instead of stray lucide glyphs.
Builds on the clarify/needs-input work with a cross-cutting pass to make
the desktop surfaces feel like one app.
- Global Cmd+K command palette (cmdk): nav, settings deep-links, async
API-key / MCP-server / archived-session groups, reusable theme sub-page
(light/dark groups, stays open on pick), loop nav, fuzzy match. Replaces
per-page settings search.
- Shared SearchField: borderless, underline-on-focus, `field-sizing`
auto-width. Unifies sessions sidebar, pages, overlays, command center,
cron; drops bespoke OverlaySearchInput.
- Cron & Profiles converted to OverlayView; flat token-driven panels
(no card-in-card / divider borders) matching command center.
- `r` refresh hotkey via useRefreshHotkey; drop the visible refresh buttons.
- Button text/textStrong link variants applied across settings & views;
shared PAGE_INSET_X content gutters.
- Math/ascii loaders replace "Loading…" text placeholders; x-icon close
over text "Close"; cursor-pointer at the dropdown/select primitive level.
Adds a top-left swap button (replacing the search icon) that mirrors the
layout: sessions sidebar ↔ file browser + preview rail. Persisted via
$panesFlipped. The left/right sidebar toggles, content inset, and pane
borders all follow the active side so the buttons stay accurate after a flip.
