The sidebar refresh fired three /api/profiles/sessions calls (recents, cron,
messaging), and each one reopened every selected profile's state.db and re-ran
list_sessions_rich + session_count — ~3N DB opens/counts per refresh, on every
turn/broadcast/reconnect.
Add GET /api/profiles/sessions/sidebar: one pass that opens each profile DB
once and runs the three source-scoped queries together (recents scoped to the
active profile; cron + messaging cross-profile), returning the three windows in
one payload. Same read-only projection, 300s active heuristic, and caller-
supplied source taxonomy (recents_exclude / messaging_exclude / source=cron) as
the per-slice endpoint.
Renderer refreshSessions now makes one listSidebarSessions call and distributes
recents/cron/messaging to their stores (cron *jobs* stay a separate getCronJobs
API). Electron splices remote profiles per slice via fetchProfilesSessionSlice
(reusing the proven per-slice merge) so remote correctness is preserved; the
no-remote common case gets the single-open fast path.
From the Desktop performance audit (P1: "Batch sidebar session slices").
Surgical reapply of the surviving half of PR #43517 by @jingsong-liu
(the branch predates the ts-ify migration; its other half — zoom restore
after reload/navigation — landed via #66989).
On US layouts Plus is physically Shift+=, so Cmd+Plus arrives with the
shift modifier set. The blanket 'input.shift' early-return in
installZoomShortcuts silently swallowed keyboard zoom-in on macOS: the
chord matched neither branch and fell through to nothing. Shift is now
evaluated per-chord: zoom-in accepts it, zoom-reset and zoom-out still
reject it (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+0 and Shift+'-' are different chords).
Ground-truth reapply of PR #40414 by @liuhao1024. The original branch
predates the ts-ify migration and implemented the gesture by injecting
a DOM wheel listener via executeJavaScript + a new IPC channel. Current
Electron surfaces the modifier+wheel gesture natively as the main-process
webContents 'zoom-changed' event, so the salvage uses that instead:
no renderer injection, no new preload surface, no new IPC channel.
The handler routes through setAndPersistZoomLevel — the same
persist+notify funnel as the keyboard shortcuts — so wheel zoom uses
the same 0.1 half-step, persists to zoom-state.json across restarts,
and keeps the settings Scale control in sync. Session windows get the
gesture automatically via wireCommonWindowHandlers; the pet overlay
stays opted out via zoomWiringForWindowKind.
Surgical reapply of PR #46429 by @SongotenU (the branch predates the
ts-ify migration; main.cjs no longer exists so a direct cherry-pick
cannot apply).
Main already adopted half of the PR's fix when zoom restore moved into
wireCommonWindowHandlers (57dfebe3d) — session windows are covered. The
surviving delta is the listener lifetime: 'once' spends the listener on
the first did-finish-load, so any later full load in the same
webContents — the crash-recovery webContents.reload(), a manual reload,
or an in-place navigation that lands on a fresh per-host zoom entry —
came up at default zoom while the settings Scale control still showed
the persisted percentage. 'on' re-applies the persisted level after
every completed load; restorePersistedZoomLevel routes through the
applyZoomLevel funnel so the renderer stays in sync.
Surgical reapply of the surviving halves of PR #57414 by @Sahil-SS9
(the branch predates the ts-ify migration and the zoom apply/notify
funnel, so a direct cherry-pick no longer applies):
- Zoom persists to a main-process zoom-state.json as the primary store.
The old localStorage-only store lives under Electron's cache/storage
folders, which crash recovery can move or recreate — wiping zoom
exactly when the user recovers from a crash. localStorage stays as a
secondary mirror; pre-JSON installs migrate on first read.
- Window geometry persists at ready-to-show, so a crash before the
first resize/move/close still captures the restored bounds.
The third half of #57414 (one-shot --no-sandbox relaunch on Windows
renderer crash loops) was superseded by #66842, which ships the same
recovery gated on the 0x80000003 sandbox-crash signature.
Adapted to current main: restore/persist route through the
applyZoomLevel funnel (39230d173) so the settings UI Scale control
stays in sync, and JSON writes go through writeFileAtomic.
Follow-up to the salvaged #66803 (@HexLab98):
- Two-strike boot marker: a single mid-boot abort (task-manager kill,
power loss) no longer disables the sandbox — only a second consecutive
abort, or a signature-confirmed GPU/renderer STATUS_BREAKPOINT death,
engages --no-sandbox.
- Version-scoped stickiness: the fallback marker records the app version
and re-probes the sandbox once after an update (new Electron or
installer ACL repair may have fixed the host) instead of degrading
forever. A failed re-probe returns straight to fallback.
- Launch-time icacls repair now runs only when the marker shows a prior
aborted boot (icacls /T recurses the whole install tree — healthy
launches skip it; the installer grants the ACE at install time), and
targets the install dir only. The userData grant is dropped: granting
S-1-15-2-2 RX on userData would expose Hermes sessions/config to every
AppContainer app on the machine.
- Renderer crash-loop recovery (same class as #56726, credit @Sahil-SS9
in PR #57414): a Windows renderer crash loop bearing the breakpoint
exit code gets the same one-shot --no-sandbox relaunch instead of a
dead window; unrelated crash loops keep the sandbox.
- Manual --no-sandbox launches are honored but never made sticky.
Tests: 15/15 windows-sandbox-fallback vitest; full desktop electron
suite 432 passed / 1 skipped.
Hot-path pass following the switch-latency work. Four independent costs,
one theme — work that runs on every boot or every turn but only needed
to run on actual change:
- electron: start the Python backend in parallel with the renderer load
instead of on did-finish-load. The backend cold boot is the dominant
startup cost and was serialized behind Chromium's load; the connection
promise is shared, so the renderer's getConnection() joins the
in-flight boot, and its getBootProgress() pull on mount recovers any
progress events emitted before the renderer was listening.
- boot/soft-switch: after the socket connects, run the independent
post-connect fetches (cwd seed, config, session lists) concurrently
instead of serially — profile adoption still lands first because the
session fetch scopes by it.
- session.info: config refetch is now gated to the foreground context
and coalesced (one trailing fetch per event burst) — it used to fire
two REST calls per event, including background sessions' heartbeats.
model-options invalidation now requires a VALUE change vs the
session's cached runtime state; the backend stamps model/provider on
every event, so the presence-typed flags refetched the provider
catalog once or twice per turn for a model that never changed.
- turn complete: sidebar refreshes (recents + cron + messaging fan-out,
each scanning profile state.dbs server-side) coalesce across
near-simultaneous completions; $sessions and profile totals keep
their identity when a refresh returns content-identical rows (same
signature gate cron/messaging already use), and the loading flag no
longer flickers over a populated list.
node-pty's published npm tarball ships the POSIX `spawn-helper` with mode
0644 (no exec bit). node-pty `posix_spawnp`s that helper on macOS/Linux, so a
non-executable copy fails every embedded-terminal spawn with
`Error: posix_spawnp failed.`. Packaged builds are unaffected because
stage-native-deps.mjs chmods the staged copy, but the dev flow
(`npm run dev` -> `electron .`) resolves node-pty straight from node_modules,
which nothing chmods -- so the first terminal in dev always dies.
Restore the exec bit once, lazily, right before the first spawn, via a small
DI-testable helper. Idempotent: already-executable copies (packaged builds)
are left untouched, and stat/chmod failures are collected and logged rather
than thrown so terminal startup never breaks.
* fix(desktop): trust Windows system CAs for remote gateways
Load Windows-trusted roots into Node's default TLS context before Desktop probes remote backends, while preserving bundled and extra CAs.
* test(desktop): cover Windows system CA installation
Verify existing trust roots survive the merge and that unsupported or unavailable stores fail open without changing TLS defaults.
Reassert the persisted webContents zoom after BrowserWindow moved, covering Windows monitor transitions where Chromium recalculates display scaling and drops the user-selected zoom.
Rebased onto current main, where the electron test harness migrated from
node:test to vitest (test:desktop:platforms = `vitest run --project electron`,
auto-discovering electron/*.test.ts). Swap the node:test import for vitest and
drop the .ts-extension import hack; the obsolete package.json node --test list
edit is dropped in the cherry-pick resolution since vitest auto-discovers.

hermes update is a Python CLI writing to a pipe when the Tauri updater or
the desktop's in-app POSIX path spawns it, so CPython block-buffers stdout.
Long quiet steps stream nothing to the progress UI. Worst case is the
pre-update backup (updates.pre_update_backup: true): it can zip multi-GB
archives for minutes while the updater still shows the previous line
('waiting for Hermes to exit...'). Users read that as a hang, cancel a
healthy update, and the orphaned child keeps mutating the install.
Set PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 in both spawn sites (update_child_env in the Tauri
updater, applyUpdatesPosixInApp in the desktop) so output streams line by
line.
Also make the lock-probe unit test pass on macOS: the packaged payload
lives under Contents/Resources there, and Path::ends_with is
case-sensitive, so the lowercase resources/app.asar assertion only ever
matched the Windows/Linux layouts.

The CI change classifier routes package.json / package-lock.json /
.ts/.tsx changes to the frontend lane, not the Python lane. Four
Python tests asserted about these JS-side artifacts, so a PR touching
only those files would skip the Python suite — the regression goes
green on the PR and red on main (where the classifier fails open).
Ported all four to vitest so they run in the correct CI lane:
tests/test_package_json_lazy_deps.py
→ apps/desktop/electron/package-json-lazy-deps.test.ts
(camofox is lazy, agent-browser is eager, lockfile clean)
tests/test_desktop_electron_pin.py
→ apps/desktop/electron/desktop-electron-pin.test.ts
(electron dep is exact, matches build.electronVersion, lockfile agrees)
tests/test_assistant_ui_tap_compat.py
→ apps/desktop/electron/assistant-ui-tap-compat.test.ts
(@assistant-ui cluster shares one tap version + semver helper)
tests/test_dashboard_sidecar_close_on_disconnect.py
→ web/src/lib/chat-sidebar-session-params.test.ts
(sidecar session.create opts into close_on_disconnect + profile)
The ChatSidebar test was regex-matching .tsx source text (the
source-reading anti-pattern). Extracted sidecarSessionCreateParams()
from the component's effect into an exported pure function so the
test calls real code instead of pattern-matching a string.
Verified: 8 electron tests + 76 web tests pass; both typecheck clean.
CI runners have no global git identity. The remote repo seed commit
needs inline -c user.email/user.name flags, matching the pattern
already used by ensureGitRepo.
When "new worktree" branches off a remote-tracking ref like origin/main,
`git worktree add -b <branch> <dir> origin/main` auto-sets upstream
tracking (branch → origin/main), producing `branch:origin/main` in branch
listings. The user wants a standalone local branch — like `git checkout
origin/main && git checkout -b branch` — not one silently wired to the
remote. Add `--no-track` when the base is an `origin/` ref. Local branch
bases are unaffected (they never triggered tracking).
alelpoan's fix (emit hermes:zoom:changed after restore) is correct, but the
bug's root is duplication: setAndPersistZoomLevel and restorePersistedZoomLevel
each independently did setZoomLevel + send, and restore forgot the send.
Collapse both (and the lifecycle re-assert) into a single applyZoomLevel()
helper in zoom.ts that always applies-then-notifies — the regression can't
recur by omitting a send. Replace the source-grep test (which broke on main:
the sibling source-assertion pet test it copied was refactored to a behavioral
one, dropping the fs/path imports it relied on) with behavioral coverage of the
funnel, matching zoom.ts's "unit-testable without booting a BrowserWindow"
convention.

Extracted zoomWiringForWindowKind() + ZOOM_WINDOW_CONFIG into zoom.ts so
the pet-overlay-
opts-out / chat-windows-keep-zoom contract is tested via the pure
config,
not by reading source. Callers in main.ts now use
zoomWiringForWindowKind()
instead of inline { zoom: false } / default { zoom: true }.
oauth-session-request.test.ts regexed main.ts source text (extracting the
fetchJsonViaOauthSession function body and matching regexes against it) to
check Electron net.request doesn't set the forbidden Content-Length header
and does call request.write(body).
That behavior is already covered for real by oauth-net-request.test.ts,
which imports the actual serializeJsonBody/setJsonRequestHeaders helpers
from oauth-net-request.ts and asserts on a mock request object's setHeader
calls -- it only needed its relative import corrected to include the .ts
extension (Node's ESM loader doesn't resolve extensionless relative
specifiers). Removed the now-fully-superseded oauth-session-request.test.ts
and its dangling package.json wiring.
profile-delete-respawn.test.ts regexed main.ts source text to check that
prepareProfileDeleteRequest returns the torn-down profile name, and that
the hermes:api ipcMain handler captures that return value and routes to
the primary backend instead of respawning a pool backend for the just-
deleted profile.
Extract the pure decision logic into profile-delete-routing.ts (no
Electron import):
- profileNameFromDeleteRequest(request): parses a DELETE
/api/profiles/<name> path, moved verbatim (already pure).
- decideProfileDeleteAction(profile, deps): the branch decision (noop /
teardown-primary / teardown-pool) and the profile name to return,
parameterized over isDefaultProfile/isValidProfileName/primaryProfileKey.
- resolveRouteProfile(tornDownProfile, profile): the
routing ternary from the hermes:api
handler.
prepareProfileDeleteRequest in main.ts now calls decideProfileDeleteAction
for the decision and only performs the async side effects (teardown +
writeActiveDesktopProfile) the decision calls for.
profile-delete-routing.test.ts replaces profile-delete-respawn.test.ts
(which was never wired into test:desktop:platforms), importing the pure
functions directly and asserting real return values across every branch
-- no readFileSync, no regex-on-source. Wired the new test file into
test:desktop:platforms in package.json.
windows-hermes-resolution.test.ts regexed main.ts source text to check
three Windows resolution bugs that caused desktop reinstall loops:
1. findOnPath()'s PATHEXT extension order (must try real extensions before
the empty one, or an extensionless Git-Bash hermes shim shadows
hermes.cmd/.exe).
2. handOffWindowsBootstrapRecovery()'s --update vs --repair choice (must
gate on any real-install signal, not just the hermes.exe shim).
3. unwrapWindowsVenvHermesCommand()'s probe-before-trust behavior (must
canImportHermesCli() before returning a venv python, or a broken venv
gets re-selected forever).
Extract all three into pure, dependency-injected functions in
windows-hermes-path.ts (no Electron import): buildPathExtCandidates(),
chooseUpdaterArgs(), resolveVenvHermesCommand(). main.ts's
findOnPath/handOffWindowsBootstrapRecovery/unwrapWindowsVenvHermesCommand
now call these with their existing helpers (fileExists, canImportHermesCli,
getVenvPython, etc.) passed through as deps.
windows-hermes-path.test.ts replaces windows-hermes-resolution.test.ts,
importing the pure functions directly and asserting real return values
with fake/injected dependencies (fake venvs, fake probes) -- no readFileSync,
no regex-on-source.
windows-child-process.test.ts regexed main.ts and bootstrap-runner.ts
source text to check that spawn/execFileSync call sites wrapped their
options with hiddenWindowsChildOptions(), and that backend teardown
chose the right kill strategy.
Extract both into dependency-free sibling modules:
- windows-child-options.ts: hiddenWindowsChildOptions(options,
isWindows)
now takes isWindows as an injectable param (defaults to the real
platform check). main.ts and bootstrap-runner.ts both import the same
implementation instead of each defining their own copy.
- backend-child.ts: stopBackendChild(child, deps) with
forceKillProcessTree
and isWindows injected, so the SIGTERM-vs-tree-kill branching is
directly
testable with a fake child + a spy.
windows-child-options.test.ts replaces windows-child-process.test.ts,
calling the real functions with fake spawn/execFileSync-shaped objects
and asserting on the actual returned options / kill call.
When the base is an origin/… ref, fetch just that branch so the
local tracking ref is fresh before `git worktree add -b new origin/main`.
Fetch failures (offline / no remote) are silently ignored — git uses
whatever local ref exists, or raises a clear error if it's missing.
The sidebar "New worktree" button branched off whatever HEAD you were
on — now a filterable Popover+Command combobox lets you pick any local
or remote-tracking branch as the base, defaulting to origin/HEAD.
Backend listBaseBranches() queries refs/heads + refs/remotes via
for-each-ref, flags origin/HEAD (falling back to the local default for
no-remote repos). Mirrored on the Python REST API side
(base_branch_list + /api/git/base-branches route).
When the desktop UI runs on Windows and the gateway runs in WSL, a WSL/POSIX
cwd isn't openable/readable from the Windows host. Add wsl-path-bridge.ts to
translate the Windows-side direction only:
- native folder dialog defaultPath: `/home/...` → `\\wsl.localhost\<distro>\...`
- fs read path: WSL cwd → its UNC / `C:\` drive form
Distro detection reads `wsl.exe -l -q` with `WSL_UTF8=1` and strips stray NUL
bytes, since older wsl.exe emits UTF-16LE (microsoft/WSL#4607) — the original
utf8 read returned a garbled distro name. UNC uses `\\wsl.localhost\` with a
`\\wsl$\` fallback for older Windows. The reverse (any path → POSIX) is handled
once gateway-side, so the picker result needs no desktop translation.
