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.
External providers (Claude Code) store creds outside Hermes, so the
disconnect API refuses them. The backend now hands the GUI a per-OS
`disconnect_command` that clears the credential the same way the CLI's
logout does (macOS Keychain entry + ~/.claude/.credentials.json), and
the misleading "use claude setup-token" hint is corrected.
Settings → Providers offers a Disconnect button for these: it confirms,
leaves Settings, and runs the removal command in the embedded terminal
via a new runInTerminal() (queues onto $terminalInjection; the terminal
pane flushes and clears it once its session is live). The expanded list
also gets its own "Other providers" header so it no longer reads as
grouped under "Connected". API-managed providers keep the one-click
(trash) disconnect.
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.
On a remote gateway connection, agent-written files live on the gateway
host, not the desktop's disk, so the Artifacts view's file:// hrefs failed
("Invalid external URL") and image thumbnails broke.
Make mediaExternalUrl() remote-aware in one place: in remote mode it
rewrites gateway-local paths to GET /api/files/download (a new endpoint
that streams the file as a Content-Disposition: attachment). The artifacts
view now resolves through it, and so do the existing chat-media and
generated-image callers, for free.
The download endpoint stays auth-gated; auth_middleware additionally
accepts the session token as a ?token= query param for this one path so a
shell/browser-opened download (which can't set the session header) still
authenticates — the same query-token tradeoff as the /api/pty WebSocket.
It is NOT added to PUBLIC_API_PATHS.
Salvages #46663 (which carried ~19k lines of CRLF noise and made the
endpoint public). Reimplemented on a clean LF base with the security hole
closed and tests added.

When a desktop/dashboard session had no agent built yet and the user explicitly
picked a provider in the model picker, config.set('model', ...) would first try
to initialize the agent from the (possibly broken) config default provider —
failing before the user's explicit switch could take effect, trapping them on a
misconfigured default.
config.set now pre-parses the model flags: if an explicit --provider is present
and no agent exists yet, it skips the default-provider agent build and routes
straight through _apply_model_switch with the explicit provider. _apply_model_switch
gained a parsed_flags passthrough (avoids double-parsing) and only falls back to
resolve_runtime_provider(requested=None) when no explicit provider was given.
The desktop hook now sends config.set instead of slash.exec for active-session
model changes, so errors from the selected provider surface to the user instead
of being swallowed.

Show a shimmering "Summarizing thread" label during auto-compaction, skip
the post-turn hydrate when compaction fired so the live transcript does not
collapse to the stored summary-only session.
Auto-compression rewrites history mid-turn, which made long threads look
like they reset. Re-tag the gateway lifecycle status as compacting and
surface it in the desktop thread loading indicators.
The turn-end sound is a notification concern, not an appearance one — relocate
the variant picker + preview from the Appearance tab to the Notifications tab
(its i18n keys move from settings.appearance to settings.notifications with it).
Adds a native OS notification system (Electron Notification, routed cross-OS)
distinct from the in-app toast feed. Before this, one hardcoded cue existed
(message.complete while document.hidden) with no settings or event coverage.
- Engine (store/native-notifications.ts): localStorage-backed prefs (master
switch + per-kind toggles) and a gated dispatcher over five kinds — approval,
input, turnDone, turnError, backgroundDone — with a 1s per-(kind,session)
self-evicting throttle.
- Gating: "backgrounded" = document.hidden OR !document.hasFocus(), so an
alt-tabbed window still counts as away. Completion kinds fire only when
backgrounded and for the active session (no spam from a busy gateway);
attention kinds (approval/input) also break through for off-screen sessions.
- Wired into real event sites (use-message-stream.ts): message.complete, error,
approval/clarify/sudo/secret.request; backgroundDone from composer-status at
the running -> exited transition.
- Click focuses the window and jumps to the originating session; approval
notifications carry Approve/Reject buttons that resolve in place over
approval.respond, mirroring the in-app Run/Reject bar.
- Settings: new Notifications panel (master + per-kind switches, test button
with real OS-result feedback). Full i18n (en/ja/zh/zh-hant).
* feat(desktop): add curated completion sound bank for turn completion
Replace the prior haptic-only completion cue with a curated Web Audio completion sound flow, defaulting to the minimal two-note comfort preset while keeping alternate presets available for quick iteration. Play the cue on every message completion event (including background sessions) so turn-end feedback is consistent across active and non-active chats.
* refactor(desktop): drop done1 byte sample from completion bank
Keep the curated Web Audio presets only; the embedded sample added bulk without shipping as the default cue.
* feat(desktop): expand completion sounds and add Appearance picker
Add fourteen synthesized turn-end presets with preview in settings, persisted variant selection, and softer default mixing for late-night use.

* refactor(desktop): dedupe completion-sound resolver, trim audio comments
Make the store the single source of truth for the variant default + range
validation and have the sound lib import it (one-way lib→store edge, no
cycle), instead of two divergent copies. Extract the shared white-noise
buffer used by the air/whoosh voices and cut the synth comments down to
why-only notes.

* fix(desktop): jump-to-approval pill for off-screen approvals
A blocked approval's only response surface is the inline Run/Reject bar on
the pending tool row. When that row is scrolled out of view the session looks
stalled with no visible action. Surface a composer-anchored "Approval needed"
pill only when an approval is pending AND its inline bar is scrolled away;
clicking scrolls the bar back into view. Preserves the deliberate inline (not
modal) approval design — the pill never duplicates the approve/reject controls.
The inline bar mirrors its own viewport visibility via IntersectionObserver
(tracks scroll/resize/layout) and registers a scroll-into-view handler the pill
fires, mirroring the existing thread-scroll jump-button bridge.
Supersedes #45828.
* fix(desktop): morph jump-to-bottom into approval prompt; drop scroll bridge
Collapse the separate "jump to approval" pill into the existing
scroll-to-bottom control: when scrolled away from the bottom while an approval
is pending, it relabels to "Approval needed". A parked approval's inline
Run/Reject bar is always the bottom-most content, so the existing
scroll-to-bottom action lands the user right on it — one control, no collision.
This also fixes the layout corruption from the first cut: the pill called
native el.scrollIntoView(), which scrolls every scrollable ancestor including
the overflow:hidden chat shell containers. Those have no scrollbar to scroll
back and don't remount on session switch, so the composer stayed shoved and
the breakage persisted across sessions. Reusing requestScrollToBottom() (the
use-stick-to-bottom path) only touches the one designated scroll container.
Removes the now-unused approval-scroll store + IntersectionObserver wiring.
Large paste and Ctrl+A → Delete froze the composer for seconds — both routed
through Chromium's contenteditable editing pipeline (~O(n²) on multiline DOM).
- insertPlainTextAtCaret: Range + text/<br> fragment (paste path)
- deleteSelectionInEditor: range.deleteContents for non-collapsed Backspace/Delete
- Shared composerSelectionRange helper; both flush via flushEditorToDraft
Profiled live (47 KB / 122 paragraphs): paste 4474 ms → 13 ms; select-delete
1304 ms → 4 ms. Collapsed-caret deletes still native.
* fix(desktop): accept slash command on space at command stage
Pressing space on a no-arg slash command (e.g. /hermes-agent) fell
through to the arg-completion stage and dead-ended on "No matches"
instead of inserting the directive. Space now mirrors Tab/Enter while
the command name is still being typed: no-arg commands commit the chip,
arg-taking commands expand to their options step.
* fix(desktop): suppress arg popover for no-arg slash commands
Committing a no-arg command (`/hermes-agent `) re-detected the chip+space
as an arg query and re-opened the popover on "No matches". The arg-stage
menu now only opens when the command actually takes args.
* fix(desktop): polish slash arg completion (space/tab/click + typed args)
Unify Enter/Tab/Space accept of the highlighted item at both the command
and arg stages: no-arg commands commit a chip, arg commands expand to
options, and an arg option commits the full `/cmd arg` chip. A fully-typed
arg (which the backend completer drops from suggestions) now commits on
Space/Tab via the verbatim text instead of dead-ending, and the "No
matches" empty state is suppressed past a command's name. Space stays
slash-only so @ mentions keep a literal space.
* 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
Right-click → Color flashed open then closed: on dismiss the context menu
refocuses its trigger, which doubles as the popover anchor, so the picker
read it as a focus-outside event and closed itself. Suppress the menu's
close auto-focus so the picker survives. Long-press already worked since
it bypasses the menu lifecycle.
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.
"Session busy" (4009) is the gateway's concurrency guard, not a user-facing
error. The queue already covers the deliberate "type while busy" case, so
the only leak was a submit racing the settle edge. Generalize the rewind
path's busy-retry into a shared `withSessionBusyRetry` and wrap every
`prompt.submit` (fresh send, session-resume resubmit, and rewind) so a
transient busy is ridden out within a bounded deadline and the call lands
silently. The fromQueue swallow stays as a backstop for the pathological
>deadline case.
A queued drain firing on the settle edge can race a not-yet-wound-down
turn and get a transient 4009 "session busy". Previously that appended a
red "session busy" error bubble (and toast) per attempt. For fromQueue
submits, swallow the busy error: release busy, keep the entry queued, and
let the composer's bounded auto-drain retry on the next idle.
A prompt typed mid-turn ("ghost bubble") could stick forever and never
send when the backend restarted/reconnected during the turn. Two fragile
assumptions in the composer queue drain caused it:
1. Drain fired ONLY on an observed busy true→false edge. A remount/
reconnect resets `previousBusyRef` to the current busy value, so the
settle edge is swallowed and the queue never drains. Replace
`shouldAutoDrainOnSettle` with the edge-independent `shouldAutoDrain`
(idle + non-empty), driven on the settle edge, on mount/reconnect, and
after a re-key. The drain lock still serializes sends.
2. The queue is keyed by `queueSessionKey || sessionId`. When a backend
resume mints a new runtime session id for the same conversation, the
entry strands under the dead key. Pass the *stable* stored id as
`queueSessionKey` so the composer can tell runtime churn from a real
session switch, and `migrateQueuedPrompts` re-keys pending entries on a
runtime-id change only (never on a deliberate switch).
Also make the drain resilient to a thrown/rejected onSubmit (e.g. a stale-
session 404): the entry stays queued and is retried on the next idle, with
a per-entry attempt cap (MAX_AUTO_DRAIN_ATTEMPTS) to avoid spin-loops and a
quiet toast once it gives up. A manual send clears the backoff.
Tests: composer-queue covers edge-free drain + re-key migration;
use-prompt-actions covers rejected-drain-keeps-entry + idle retry sends.
- 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.
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.
The terminal looked soft/heavy on every platform because the xterm
Terminal was built with allowTransparency: true, which drops the WebGL
renderer's opaque fast-path and bakes glyphs as grayscale-alpha coverage
for compositing over a see-through canvas. Our surface (--ui-bg-chrome)
is opaque and withSurface already paints it, so transparency was pure
blur for no benefit — VS Code keeps it off too. Also drop the Medium
(500) base weight for normal/bold (400/700) to match VS Code's metrics,
and remove the now-unused JetBrains Mono Medium face + woff2.
Every reorderable surface (repos, worktrees, sessions, pins) now drops in a
single ReorderableList that owns its own DndContext, so a drag only ever
collides with that list's own items — nesting "just works" without leaking
into the lists around or inside it. This replaces the shared DndContext +
id-prefix dispatch (parent:/group:) whose closestCenter collisions resolved
to a different-typed droppable and silently no-op'd worktree/repo drags.
- Delete groupDndId/parentDndId/parse* helpers and the monolithic
handleAgentDragEnd/handlePinnedDragEnd; each list persists its new id order
via a direct typed write (reorderParents/reorderWorktree/reorderSessions/
reorderPinned).
- Sessions inside repos/worktrees are date-ordered and static (no drag),
matching the "never reorder on new messages" rule.
- Add setPinnedSessionOrder; drop now-unused reorderPinnedSession.
The repo and worktree header rows were ~identical after the handle move.
Fold them into one WorkspaceHeader (emphasis flag for the repo level) plus
a small WorkspaceAddButton, so the toggle/handle/count/+ wiring lives in
one place.
Mirror the session row: the repo/worktree header's leading glyph (repo
mark, or a new git-branch mark for worktrees) swaps to a grabber on
hover/drag instead of carrying a separate handle on the right — freeing
header width for the label and + button.
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.
A see-through-window control (0–100, off by default) that maps to the
native window opacity via setOpacity — the desktop shows through the whole
window, the same effect as the Windows shift-scroll trick. macOS + Windows;
a no-op on Linux (no runtime window opacity).
Renderer owns the value (persisted, nanostore) and mirrors it to the main
process over IPC; main persists it to translucency.json so a cold launch
applies it at window creation before the renderer reports in.
The top "New Session" button (and /new, the keyboard shortcut) cleared
$newChatProfile to null, meaning "use the live gateway context". But
createBackendSessionForSend turned a null into an omitted `profile` param on
session.create. In global-remote mode one backend serves every profile, so an
omitted profile silently binds the new chat to the launch (default) profile's
home/state.db — the session "rubberbands back to default" even though the rail
still shows the selected profile. The per-profile "+" worked because it sets
$newChatProfile explicitly.
Resolve a null $newChatProfile to the active gateway profile at the single
session-creation chokepoint so session.create always carries the live profile.
Harmless for single-profile and local-pooled users: a backend resolves its own
launch profile to None (_profile_home), so passing it changes nothing.
* 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.
body sets user-select:none for native feel and opts text back in only via
[data-selectable-text='true']; the preview's source and rendered-markdown
panes never set it, so code couldn't be selected or copied. Tag the Shiki
code column and the markdown root. The attribute stays off the SourceView
grid root so the gutter keeps its select-none and line numbers don't bleed
into copied text.
The terminal listed JetBrains Mono only as a late fallback and shipped no
webfont, so on machines without SF Mono/Menlo xterm measured the grid on the
regular system face while styled SGR spans fell back to a font with different
advances — glyphs squeezed and overlapped.

already ships), put the family first in the xterm stack, pin the weights, and
warm every face before mount (fonts.ready only settles already-requested
faces; bold/italic aren't asked for until styled output paints, past atlas
init). Vite emits them as hashed assets under dist/** with base './', so the
fonts ship in the asar and every install path inherits them.
