* fix(desktop): clarify enter-to-send and top-align choice radios
Match the composer keyboard contract in clarify freeform answers and align choice-row radio dots to the start of wrapped labels.
* fix(desktop): clarify loading spinner until request is ready
Hold the clarify panel on a centered Loader2 until clarify.request arrives instead of showing disabled choices or a loading-question stub.
* refactor(desktop): dedupe clarify shell and drop stale ready gates
Extract the shared clarify panel wrapper and remove disabled-state checks that loading already makes unreachable.
The native desktop approval bar deliberately omits the command because the
pending tool row "already shows it" — but that row only renders a single
truncated line, and a pending row can't be expanded (it has no result yet). So
the full command was only reachable by opening the "Always allow" dropdown,
reading the modal, cancelling, then clicking Run — 4-5 clicks just to see what
you're approving.
Add a "Command" toggle to the approval bar that reveals the full
`request.command` inline (reusing the dialog's pre styling), default collapsed.
Approving a long command is now "expand, Run". Gated on a non-empty command so
zero-command approvals are unaffected.
* feat(cli): add --safe-mode troubleshooting flag
Inspired by Claude Code v2.1.169 (June 2026): run Hermes with all
customizations disabled to isolate setup problems from product bugs.
--safe-mode implies --ignore-user-config and --ignore-rules, and
additionally skips plugin discovery (hermes_cli/plugins.py) and MCP
server loading (tools/mcp_tool.py) via the internal HERMES_SAFE_MODE
env bridge.
* fix(desktop): keep composer usable during reconnect
The image-generate tool showed a placeholder, then the model echoed a
(often different) image inline in its prose — a second, jarring copy in
the wrong place, dimmed as tool scaffolding, with a misplaced download
button.
Now the generated image lives only in the tool slot:
- Strip every embedded image/media link from the assistant prose of a
message that produced an image (the model frequently restates the
remote URL while the result holds the local path), preserving the
agent's words. Applied on hydration, live deltas, and completion.
- One stable frame sized from the aspect_ratio arg up front, so the
diffusion placeholder and the decoded image share the same box and
crossfade with no layout shift; the box derives its height from the
true ratio on load (no letterboxing).
- Exempt generated images from the tool-block dim-until-hover rule.
- Extract a shared useImageDownload hook + ImageLightbox so the tool
image and markdown images share one implementation.
The diffusion placeholder read `--dt-*` tokens via
`getComputedStyle().getPropertyValue()`, but those resolve through `var()`
chains into `color-mix(in srgb, …)` — returned verbatim and unparseable, so
every token fell to a hardcoded light fallback (white card). In dark mode the
placeholder rendered as a white square.
Resolve each token through a throwaway probe element's `color` so the browser
computes it to a concrete color, and teach `parseColor` Chromium's
`color(srgb r g b / a)` serialization. Re-resolve on theme repaint via a
MutationObserver rather than per animation frame.
- Resume: fire the REST transcript prefetch and the session.resume RPC in
parallel, and skip the redundant message conversion + reconciliation
when the prefetch already hydrated the transcript.
- Haptics: web-haptics builds its AudioContext lazily on first trigger,
paying the ~850ms CoreAudio spin-up on the first streamStart haptic as
the first token paints. Open/close a throwaway context at idle so the
real one connects to an already-warm audio service.
Re-parsing the full message markdown every reveal frame is O(N^2) over a
long answer and dominated stream CPU.
- Throttle useSmoothReveal commits to ~1 frame (REVEAL_MIN_COMMIT_MS).
- Memoize block parsing with an LRU keyed on source text so only changed
blocks re-parse.
- Replace Streamdown's full-text parseIncompleteMarkdown with a
tail-bounded remend: scan to the last top-level boundary outside
fences/math and repair only the trailing open block. New remend-tail.ts
is proven render-equivalent to full remend at every streaming prefix
(remend-tail.test.ts), minus an intentional, documented divergence on
cross-block dangling openers.
During a token stream $messages is replaced ~30x/s. Subscribing the whole
chat view to it re-rendered the composer, runtime boundary, and every
message on every delta.
- Derive coarse facts (empty thread? tail is user?) via nanostores
`computed` atoms so per-token flushes don't re-render their consumers.
- Move the $messages subscription + runtime wiring into a dedicated
ChatRuntimeBoundary; the composer reads $messages imperatively.
- Drive message rows off stable useAuiState selectors and a lazy
getMessageText getter instead of eagerly materialized text.
- Feed ResizeObserver entry sizes into measureClamp / FadeText and dedupe
the style writes, killing the read-write-read reflow cascade.
Streaming auto-follow chased content growth while parked at the bottom,
which rubber-banded — the tail pin and the virtualizer's own measurement
adjustments fought for scrollTop. Drop it; the one-time new-turn jump
already lands a fresh message in view and the viewport stays put after.
Attachments rendered inside the editable user bubble and were collapsed
via an IntersectionObserver + [data-stuck] CSS hack while the bubble was
pinned. Render them as a flow sibling BELOW the sticky bubble instead, so
they scroll away behind it naturally — no observer, no collapse. Image
refs still render as thumbnails, file refs as chips; no border. Removes
the now-unused useStuckToTop hook and its CSS.
Group recents as parent-repo → worktree → sessions using local git
metadata (probed over IPC, with a path-name heuristic fallback for
remote backends). Single-worktree repos collapse to one level. Sessions
order by creation time and never reshuffle on new messages.
Also: fuse the status stack to the composer border, restore icon actions
in the queue panel, fix sidebar label truncation and drag styling, hide
sticky-message attachments while pinned, and bump the terminal font.
Strict sticky-bottom autoscroll for the chat thread: while the viewport is
parked at the bottom, the tail follows content growth (streaming tokens, late
measurement, Shiki re-highlight) via a useLayoutEffect keyed on the
virtualizer's own size signal, pinned in the same pre-paint pass as its
scrollToFn so the two never rubber-band. The gate is a single boolean — one
upward pixel (scroll/wheel/touch) disarms follow until the user returns to the
bottom.
Adds a floating jump-to-bottom control that appears once scrolled ~10px away
(above the dim threshold so a sub-pixel settle never flashes it), positioned
above the composer with respect to the status stack, with a subtle
scale + slide in/out animation that honours prefers-reduced-motion. The button
bridges to the virtualizer's re-arm + pin path through a small nanostore
emitter.
Supersedes #43624.
Salvage of #45240. The dismiss-settled-tool-rows affordance was correct in
intent but had two issues against current main:
- The thread is virtualized, so a row's component unmounts/remounts as it
scrolls. Component-local `useState` dismissal was forgotten on remount and
the row popped back. Move dismissal into a session-scoped nanostore keyed by
the stable disclosure id (mirrors $toolDisclosureOpen), so a dismissed row
stays gone while scrolling but a reload restores real history instead of
permanently rewriting it.
- The dismiss button lived in DisclosureRow's absolute `trailing` slot — the
exact "opacity-0-but-clickable control fights the caret" pattern the trailing
comment warns against. Add an in-flow `action` slot that lays out at the far
right so an interactive control never overlaps the caret's hit-target,
regardless of title length, and move the dismiss button into it.
Adds a remount regression test alongside the existing dismissal coverage.
* 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.
The per-row copy control lived in the header's trailing slot as a 24px
button that depended on a `group-hover/tool-row` group that exists nowhere
in the tree. It therefore stayed `opacity-0` yet remained clickable — an
invisible hit-target straddling the disclosure caret and duration, making
the caret hard to click without firing a copy.
Move copy into the expanded body's top-right (matching the code-block
convention) where it can't fight the caret for the right edge, and make it
actually visible (subtle at rest, full on hover/focus). The header right
edge now belongs solely to the duration label + caret.
Tradeoff: copy is only reachable once a row is expanded; rows with no
expandable body no longer surface a copy control.
Arabic/Hebrew/Persian/Urdu chat text rendered left-to-right and
left-aligned, and mixed RTL/English technical messages (the common case)
read backwards. Resolve each chat block's base direction from its own
first strong character (UAX#9) with pure CSS, scoped to the chat
surfaces only:
- `unicode-bidi: plaintext` + `text-align: start` on assistant prose
blocks (p, h1-h6, li, blockquote), the user bubble's text lines, and
both composers (main + edit share the composer-rich-input slot). RTL
blocks read and right-align RTL; English stays LTR; mixed
conversations resolve per block. `text-align: start` is required
because the user bubble hardcodes `text-left`.
- Inline `code` and KaTeX are pinned `direction: ltr; unicode-bidi:
isolate`, so the bidi first-strong heuristic skips them: a sentence
that *starts* with a command (`./run.sh ...`) followed by Arabic
still resolves RTL, and the command's own neutrals keep their order.
- Fenced code surfaces (code-card, user fences) are pinned LTR so they
never mirror or right-align inside an RTL list item or blockquote.
`direction` is never forced, so app chrome, layout, and list indent
stay LTR per the issue's request not to flip the whole UI. English-only
content is byte-for-byte unchanged.
Salvaged and unified from #44065 and #44169; verified in Chromium that
isolate removes inline code from the paragraph direction vote (the
code-first case), making the JS dir-resolution in #44065 unnecessary.

The desktop "Local / custom endpoint" onboarding never collected an API
key and /api/model/set silently dropped one, so an auth-gated endpoint
(e.g. a hosted vLLM behind a key) could never enumerate models — and
Settings' "Set up custom endpoint" routed `custom` into a non-existent
OAuth flow, booting the user back to the first screen (the reported loop).
Backend (web_server.py):
- /api/providers/validate accepts an optional api_key and sends it as a
Bearer header when probing a custom endpoint's /v1/models.
- /api/model/set accepts api_key, persists it to model.api_key (same
switch/preserve lifecycle as base_url), and registers a named
custom_providers entry via _save_custom_provider — matching the
`hermes model` CLI flow so the endpoint shows up as a ready picker row.
Desktop:
- ApiKeyForm shows an optional API key field for the local/custom option;
the key is threaded through saveOnboardingLocalEndpoint → validate +
setModelAssignment.
- New onboarding `localEndpoint` intent + startManualLocalEndpoint(); the
Settings "Set up custom endpoint" button now opens the local-endpoint
form (URL + key) instead of the OAuth dead-end.
- Added localApiKeyPlaceholder i18n key (en + types + zh).
Tests: api_key lifecycle on _apply_main_model_assignment, key persistence
+ custom_providers registration on /api/model/set, Bearer-header probe;
onboarding store forwards + persists the key.
Collapse the verbose multi-line rationale comments across the TUI/desktop/
backend approval surfaces into single-line "why" notes, and derive
APPROVAL_OPTS_NO_ALWAYS from APPROVAL_OPTS instead of re-listing it.
No behavior change.
When a tirith content-security warning is present the approval backend
forces allow_permanent=False and silently downgrades an "always" choice to
session scope (the persistence loop in check_all_command_guards only honors
"always" → permanent when no tirith finding exists). But the gateway notify
payload that drives the TUI and the Electron desktop app never carried that
flag, so both surfaces always rendered "Always allow" — offering a permanent
allow the backend would quietly refuse to persist.
Plumb allow_permanent end-to-end:
- tools/approval.py: include `allow_permanent: not has_tirith` in the gateway
approval_data the notify callback emits as `approval.request`.
- ui-tui: thread `allowPermanent` through the event handler, gateway types,
and ApprovalReq; ApprovalPrompt drops the "always" option (and renumbers the
quick-pick keys) when it's false.
- apps/desktop: thread `allow_permanent` through the gateway payload type, the
per-session approval store, and the inline ApprovalBar, which now hides the
"Always allow…" dropdown item when permanent allow is disallowed — reusing
the existing DropdownMenu / confirm-Dialog UI.
The desktop/TUI render path for approvals already landed in #38578 (the root
cause of approvals not surfacing in the GUI); this completes the salvage of
#37856 by carrying allow_permanent across both surfaces. #37856's original
thread-local _block() approach is dropped: desktop/TUI approvals resolve via
approval.respond → resolve_gateway_approval (the per-session queue), not the
_block()/request_id correlation, so a worker-thread callback waiting on _block
would never be released by the real UI.
Tests: gateway notify payload carries allow_permanent (True without tirith,
False with a tirith warning); ui-tui approvalAction reduced option set +
event-handler allowPermanent propagation; desktop store round-trip + the
ApprovalBar showing/hiding "Always allow".

`@assistant-ui/store`'s index-keyed child-scope lookup (`tapClientLookup`)
throws — rather than returning undefined — when a subscriber reads an index
the message/parts list no longer has. During high-frequency store replacement
(switching sessions mid-stream, gateway reconnect replay) a subscriber from
the previous, longer list is still in React's notification queue and reads one
slot past the new, shorter array before it can unmount. The throw
(`Index N out of bounds (length: N)`, the classic index === length off-by-one)
unwinds all the way to the root error boundary and blanks the entire window,
even though the store self-heals on the very next consistent snapshot.
Wrap each virtualized message group in a tiny boundary that swallows ONLY this
transient lookup race and auto-recovers when the message signature changes
(the existing list-mutation key). Any other error re-throws to the root
boundary, so genuine bugs still surface.
Upstream-tracked and unresolved: assistant-ui/assistant-ui#4051, #3652.

When a user toggles off the last visible model for a provider group, the
effectiveVisibleKeys() function treated the missing provider prefix as
'never customized' and re-added the default models on the next render,
causing all models to snap back to enabled.
Fix: store a sentinel key (e.g. 'provider::') when the last model for a
provider is toggled off. The sentinel distinguishes 'user hid everything'
from 'user never customized', preventing the default-fallback path from
re-adding models the user explicitly chose to hide.
Fixes#43485
Turn off browser spellcheck, autocorrect, and autocomplete on the main chat composer and message-edit composer so code, paths, and slash commands are not flagged or altered.
* desktop: surface /tools, /save, /personality and fix /help skill count
Move /tools and /save out of TERMINAL_ONLY_COMMANDS and /personality out of
ADVANCED_COMMANDS so they appear in the desktop slash palette and execute via
the existing slash.exec → command.dispatch fallback. The backend gateway already
accepts these through slash.exec (none are in _PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS or the
skill list), so no backend change is required.
Recompute skill_count in filterDesktopCommandsCatalog from the filtered pairs.
Previously the /help footer echoed the unfiltered backend total — e.g. "60
skill commands available" while only ~29 actually appeared in the rendered
list, because the desktop hides terminal-only, picker-owned, and advanced
commands.

* desktop: keep slash popover live while typing args
The trigger regex `(?:^|[\s])([@/])([^\s@/]*)$` stopped matching the moment
the user typed a space after a slash command, so the popover never showed arg
completions for `/personality`, `/tools`, etc. — even though the backend's
`complete.slash` already returns them with a `replace_from` indicator.
Split the trigger detection so `/` allows args (`/cmd arg1 arg2`) while `@`
keeps the strict no-space behavior. Restrict the slash command name to
`[a-zA-Z][\w-]*` so file paths like `src/foo/bar` don't accidentally trigger
the popover.
Rewrite arg-completion items in useSlashCompletions to insert the full
`/personality alice` token instead of stranding `/alice`: when `replace_from`
is past the command base, prepend the existing prefix to each item's text so
the chip serializer produces a coherent replacement.

* cli: complete toolset names after /tools enable|disable
SlashCommandCompleter previously only auto-derived the first subcommand level
from args_hint, so `/tools enable <tab>` yielded nothing — the user had to
remember every toolset key (web, file, spotify, …) and every MCP server prefix.
Add `_tools_completions` that handles both stages: subcommand (list|disable|enable)
and tool name. Filter by current enable state so `/tools enable <tab>` only
offers disabled toolsets and `/tools disable <tab>` only offers enabled ones —
no point suggesting a no-op. MCP server prefixes (server:) come from the
saved mcp_servers config; per-tool completion under a server would require
runtime MCP introspection and is left as follow-up.

* desktop: registry-driven slash commands with first-class pickers
Collapse the if/else slash dispatch into one DESKTOP_COMMAND_SPECS table
that drives popover suggestions, per-type composer pills, and execution.
- /resume, /sessions, /switch: inline session completions (like /skin) plus
a "Browse all sessions…" entry that opens a dedicated session picker overlay
- /handoff: inline platform completion + handoff.request/handoff.state
gateway bridge so desktop reaches CLI parity
- colored per-type pills (command/skill/theme) in the composer
- strip ANSI and fix width/alignment of slash output in the chat panel
* desktop: fold repeated slash session/output boilerplate into one helper
runExec, /title, /help and the unavailable case each re-derived the same
ensure-session → bail-with-notify → build-renderSlashOutput dance.
withSlashOutput() returns {sessionId, render} or null, so each handler is
a two-line resolve instead of an eight-line preamble.
* desktop: keep backend meta on slash arg completions
Arg suggestions (/personality <name>, /tools enable <toolset>, /handoff
<platform>) were having their meta overwritten with the parent command's
registry description: desktopSlashDescription("/personality none") canonicalizes
back to /personality and returns its blurb. Skip the lookup for arg rows so the
backend's own display_meta ("clear personality overlay", etc.) survives.
* cli: list real personalities in /personality completion
_personality_completions resolved load_config().agent.personalities — but that
schema has no agent.personalities key, so completion always returned just
`none` even though the runtime (load_cli_config().agent.personalities) ships a
dozen built-ins (helpful, kawaii, pirate, …). Read from the same source the
command actually applies, so `/personality ` surfaces the real options.
* desktop: expand bare arg-commands to their options on pick
Picking a command like /personality from the slash popover committed it
immediately instead of advancing to its argument list. Mark arg-taking
commands (/skin, /resume, /handoff, /personality, /tools) in the registry
and, when one is picked bare, insert "/cmd " as plain text and re-open the
popover on its inline options — mirroring typing "/cmd " by hand. Arg picks
(serialized text already contains a space) still commit a single pill.
Also realign trigger-popover loading test with the redesigned popover (the
/help empty-state hint shows when resolved, not while the spinner is up);
the merge from main reintroduced the pre-redesign expectation.
* tui_gateway: fold session-db close into a context manager
Both handoff RPCs repeated the same `db, close_db = _session_db_handle()`
+ `finally: if close_db: db.close()` dance. Turn the helper into a
`_session_db` contextmanager that owns the close, so callers just
`with _session_db(session) as db:`.
* desktop: unblock handoff retries and exact resume ids
Clear timed-out desktop handoffs through the gateway so retries are not stuck behind a pending row, and let typed /resume session ids bypass the loaded sidebar cache.

Sticky human bubbles park at --sticky-human-top (~4px), sliding under the
titlebar's -webkit-app-region:drag strips. Electron resolves drag regions at
the compositor level — z-index and pointer-events don't apply — so clicking a
stuck bubble dragged the window instead of opening the edit composer. Add
no-drag to the shared bubble base class (read-only bubble + edit composer).
Covers the runtime side with a test: clicking a user bubble opens the inline
edit composer through both the incremental external-store runtime and the
stock one.
(cherry picked from commit db4e1f4f3e)
Replace the earlier text-stroke approach (which only bolds outline
codicons — a font glyph has no fillable region) with dedicated solid
SVG glyphs for tool rows. Adds ToolIcon, keyed by the same names as
TOOL_META, with a codicon fallback for uncovered tools.
Outline codicons read too thin at conversation-tool scale; a scoped
filled modifier thickens tool-row and code-card icons without changing
icon semantics elsewhere in the shell.
* 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
The message-edit composer staged dropped OS files asynchronously with no
visible state, so confirming the edit before the upload resolved could send
the message without the gateway-side ref (helix4u review note on #43109).
Add a staging flag: while uploadOsDropRefs is in flight, show a small spinner
pill in the bubble and block submit (disabled send button + submitEdit guard)
so the edit can't outrace the ref insertion. New `attachingFile` i18n string
across en/zh/zh-hant/ja.
Finder/OS drops became `@file:/Users/...` refs that only resolve when the
gateway shares the local disk, so on a remote gateway non-image files
(PDF/CSV/Markdown/...) never reached the agent. Route OS drops through the
file.attach / image.attach_bytes upload pipeline — in-app project-tree and
gutter drags stay inline workspace-relative refs — across every drop surface:
the conversation area, the composer form, the contenteditable input, and the
message-edit composer (which still reproduced the bug).
Also:
- upload dropped files eagerly when a session exists, so the card shows a
spinner instead of stalling the send (images stay submit-time to avoid
racing their thumbnail write);
- round the attachment card and drop the monospace detail;
- render image previews from the bytes we already hold, so a pasted/dropped
screenshot shows its thumbnail and previews even when its only on-disk copy
is a transient path (the data URL is not persisted to localStorage).
Supersedes #38615, #41203.

* fix(desktop): keep chat recents focused and reset hotkey target
Exclude messaging platform threads from chat recents pagination so Load More returns chat sessions, and clear stale quick-create profile state before Ctrl+N starts a new session.
* fix(desktop): surface new sessions in sidebar + unstick new-chat Thinking
Two renderer regressions in the desktop chat app:
- Sidebar ordering: orderByIds/reconcileOrderIds appended ids missing from
the persisted order to the BOTTOM. Callers pass recency-sorted lists
(newest first), so a brand-new Ctrl+N session sank below the saved order
and read as "my latest session never showed up". Prepend fresh ids so new
activity surfaces at the top.
- New-chat stuck on "Thinking": terminal/attention state transitions
(turn finished, error, or agent now waiting on user) were RAF-batched.
Electron throttles requestAnimationFrame to ~0 while the window is
backgrounded, occluded, or unfocused, stranding the deferred flush. Flush
critical transitions (!busy || needsInput) synchronously; keep the busy
heartbeat RAF-batched to avoid scroll churn.
Does not touch the messaging-source exclusion in chat recents queries.
* fix(desktop): stop excluding messaging platforms from chat recents
The "keep chat recents focused" change excluded every messaging-platform
source (telegram, discord, slack, …) from the recents query. That silently
undid the messaging-source-folder feature already on main (ede4f5a4a): the
sidebar builds those folders purely from the loaded recents page, so once the
sources were filtered out the folders never rendered — telegram and friends
vanished from the left sidebar.
Only cron stays excluded (it has its own dedicated section). Messaging
sessions belong in the sidebar and render with their platform folder/icon.
Removes the now-unused MESSAGING_SESSION_SOURCE_IDS export.
* fix(desktop): give each messaging platform its own self-managed sidebar section
Recents are local-only again: cron and every messaging platform are excluded
from the chat-recents query, so "Load more" pages through interactive local
chats instead of interleaving gateway threads that bury them.
Each messaging platform (telegram, discord, ...) is now fetched as its own
slice (refreshMessagingSessions) and rendered as a self-managed sidebar
section with its platform icon, count, and per-platform "load more" — no
source-grouping magic inside recents.
Handed-off sessions (live source becomes local after a handoff) keep their
origin-platform badge on the row via handoff_platform, so a Telegram thread
continued in the desktop still reads as Telegram.
* fix(desktop): self-heal a stranded routed session in route-resume
An intermittent create/stream race can leave selected/active session ids
null while the route stays on /:sid — the transcript then sticks empty
even though the turn completed and persisted (the "second Ctrl+N shows no
response" symptom). The pathname didn't change, so route-resume's normal
gate skipped and the view stayed stuck.
Resume whenever the routed session isn't the loaded one, gated on
freshDraftReady so the /:sid -> /new transition (which also momentarily
nulls selected/active a render before the pathname flips) is NOT treated
as stranded. selectedStoredSessionIdRef is set synchronously at resume
entry, so this can't loop, and the resume cached fast-path restores the
already-streamed messages without a refetch.
* fix(desktop): bypass smooth reveal on primary markdown stream
Render main assistant text through deferred markdown directly instead of the smooth-reveal wrapper. This isolates the wrapper to reasoning surfaces and avoids the intermittent blank-response regression after consecutive new-session flows.
System messages (slash-command output like /debug, plus the generic
system-message fallback) were rendered as plain text, so the uploaded
paste.rs URLs in a debug report were neither clickable nor easily
copyable.
Route both through LinkifiedText so URLs become real <a> links (open
externally via the desktop bridge, selectable/copyable text). Add an
opt-in explicitOnly mode that matches only explicit http(s):// / www.
URLs, used here so filename-shaped tokens in the report (agent.log,
errors.log, gateway.log) aren't mistaken for bare domains and linkified.
Bare-domain matching is preserved for all other LinkifiedText callers.
Adds regression tests covering explicitOnly (links only real URLs, keeps
.log filenames as text) and the default bare-domain behavior.
* 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 desktop chat GUI pinned the viewport to the bottom on every content
growth while a turn streamed, so the window chased tokens as they arrived.
Remove that follow behavior: once a turn is running the viewport stays
exactly where the user left it.
- Delete the streaming ResizeObserver re-pin loop in useThreadScrollAnchor.
- Delete the post-run bottom lock (kept pinning ~1.2s after completion).
- Keep the one-time jump-to-bottom on user submit / new turn / session
change so a freshly submitted message still lands in view.
- Update streaming.test.tsx to assert the viewport no longer follows
streaming growth or snaps down on final code-highlight remeasure.
Desktop connected to a remote gateway can now attach images and PDFs and
display agent-written images. Previously the desktop passed a LOCAL file path
to image.attach; on a remote gateway that path doesn't exist, so the image was
silently dropped ("skipped unreadable path") and the vision model never saw it.
The reverse direction was also broken — images the agent wrote on the gateway
rendered as dead links in the remote client.
Gateway (tui_gateway/server.py):
- image.attach_bytes: base64 byte upload written into the gateway's own images
dir and queued via the existing native-image-attach pipeline. Magic-byte
extension sniffing, data-URL prefix + whitespace tolerance, 25 MB cap,
structured error codes. Accepts content_base64/filename (canonical) and
data/ext (older-desktop aliases).
- pdf.attach: renders each page to PNG via pdftoppm (poppler-utils) at 150 DPI
and queues the pages as images; 50 MB / 25-page caps. Accepts host path or
base64 upload.
- Shared helpers (_decode_attach_base64, _sniff_image_ext, _queue_attached_image)
so the two methods and the existing image.attach don't duplicate logic.
Gateway (hermes_cli/web_server.py):
- GET /api/media: returns a gateway-local image as a base64 data URL so remote
clients can display it. Auth-gated like every /api route, extension
allowlist + size cap, AND confined to the gateway's own media roots
(images/screenshots/cache, resolved symlink-safe) so an authed caller can't
read image-extension files anywhere on disk.
Desktop (apps/desktop):
- syncImageAttachmentsForSubmit uploads bytes via image.attach_bytes when the
connection mode is 'remote'; the local fast path is unchanged.
- media.ts gains isRemoteGateway() + gatewayMediaDataUrl(); directive-text and
markdown-text fetch images over /api/media in remote mode.
Consolidates the competing remote-media PRs (#38876, #40317, #21908, #39437)
into one coherent implementation, taking the strongest parts of each and adding
shared-helper cleanup plus the /api/media root-confinement hardening on top.
The per-profile gateway switching from #38876 is intentionally left out as a
separable feature. TUI file uploads (#40492) remain a separate surface.
Tested: 11 new tui_gateway tests + 5 /api/media endpoint tests + desktop
media.remote unit tests; full tui_gateway + web_server suites green (472
passed); tsc -b clean; E2E verified the full attach→disk→queue and
gateway-path→data-URL display round-trip plus the out-of-root security block.
