The RPC-rename fallback swallowed all errors silently. Narrow it to log
the swallowed error via console.warn so a genuine session.title RPC
failure (which then surfaces a REST 404 for the runtime id) is
diagnosable instead of invisible. Behavior is unchanged: REST fallback
still runs for any session with a persisted row.
Verifies the active branched session renames via the session.title RPC
(not REST), and that REST is used for non-active rows, title clears, RPC
failures (socket mid-reconnect), and when no gateway is connected.
A freshly branched session (and any brand-new chat) lives only in the
gateway's in-memory _sessions map keyed by its runtime id — no row is
persisted to state.db until the first turn. The rename dialog hit REST
PATCH /api/sessions/{id}, which resolves against the stored sessions
table, so it 404'd with "Session not found" on these runtime-only rows.
Route the rename of the ACTIVE/selected session through the gateway's
session.title RPC (which resolves the live runtime session and persists
the row on demand), mirroring the /title slash command. Fall back to REST
for non-active rows, title clears, and when no gateway is connected.
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.
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.
* 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.
A WSL2 user reported the top two left-sidebar items being unclickable
while the rest of the UI works. That symptom shape matches an
-webkit-app-region:drag hit-test band eating clicks, not GPU/compositing:
the shell's titlebar drag strips (app-shell.tsx) span the top 34px and
the nav group clears them by only 6px, and drag regions win hit-testing
over DOM regardless of pointer-events. Linux WCO (Electron >=32) is the
newest implementation and has known region quirks (electron#43030).
Apply the same no-drag carve-out the codebase already uses for sticky
user bubbles (USER_BUBBLE_BASE_CLASS in thread.tsx) to the sidebar nav
buttons. Harmless on every platform: the rows were never meant to be
draggable surface.
Pops a session into a standalone, focused window for side-by-side work.
A secondary window loads the renderer at the session route with a
?win=secondary flag (ahead of the HashRouter '#'); it drops the global
sidebar plus the install/onboarding overlays and renders a single chat,
sharing the one local gateway over WS (no backend duplication). The main
process keys windows by sessionId so re-opening focuses the existing one
and self-cleans on close.
Open it via:
- ⌘-click (mac) / ⌃-click (win/linux) a sidebar session — the universal
"open in new window" gesture. Archive moves to the ⋯ / right-click menus
only, off the easy-to-misfire modifier-click.
- "New window" in the session ⋯ and context menus (link-external icon,
i18n'd across en/ja/zh/zh-hant).
A standalone window has no left rail, so AppShell treats its edge as
uncovered and applies the titlebar inset — the chat title clears the
macOS traffic lights instead of hiding behind them.

* fix(desktop): prevent sidebar section overlap
Use a shared sidebar section scroller only on short windows so sections do not overlap, while preserving per-section scrolling on taller layouts.
* fix(desktop): measure section stack for compact sidebar mode
Window-height media query kept big windows in compact mode whenever the OS chrome ate into 830px; observe the section stack element instead so compact only engages when the stack is actually short.
* refactor(desktop): drive sidebar compact mode with CSS, not JS
Replace the matchMedia hook with a `short` (max-height: 830px) Tailwind
variant so the per-section scrollers flatten into one shared scroll stack on
short windows purely in CSS. Taller windows keep their per-group scrollers and
recents virtualization unchanged.
* refactor(desktop): pure-CSS two-mode sidebar scroll + collapse/cap groups
Drop the JS-measured compaction in favour of a single `compact` height
variant (max-height: 768px):
- tall: every section is its own capped, independent scroller; Sessions
is the lone flex-1 scroller.
- short: sections flatten and the stack scrolls as one.
Every section is now `shrink-0`, so nothing is squeezed below its
content and bled onto a sibling — the root cause of the header overlap
(flexbox implied min-size). Sessions keeps its virtualized scroller in
short mode only when it's the long list.
Non-session groups (messaging, cron) collapse by default — expanded ids
persist per platform — and render 3 rows, revealing 10 more on demand.
Extract the shared SidebarLoadMoreRow. Stress harness seeds 50 recents
to mirror the real first page.
* chore(desktop): trim sidebar comments, unify "compact" naming
Self-review polish: condense the over-long mode comments, use "compact"
consistently (matching the variant) instead of mixing "short", and drop a
no-op useCallback around revealMoreMessaging.
* chore(desktop): drop dev sidebar stress harness from the PR
Remove stress-probe.ts and its main.tsx import — it was a throwaway
testing aid, not something to ship.
The "..." overflow that opens the profile manager (the only UI to edit a
profile's SOUL.md) was gated behind profiles.length > 1, so a user with
only the default profile couldn't edit its persona without first creating
a throwaway second profile. Render it unconditionally.
* 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.
eslint --fix (import sort + padding-line-between-statements) on sidebar/index.tsx
after cherry-picking @dangelo352's commits; add release.py AUTHOR_MAP entry so
CI doesn't block on the unmapped author email.
* 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
Sidebar and Cron page each carried a near-identical name→prompt→id
title fn. Collapse to a single jobTitle in cron/job-state.ts (the
page variant, which also falls back to script then 'Cron job').
Redesign the cron surface around jobs (not run sessions), following
power-user patterns (GitHub Actions / Airflow / Dagu): master → detail → output.
Sidebar "Cron jobs" section:
- jobs with a state pip + live next-run countdown
- click toggles an inline run-history peek; a run opens its chat (active run highlighted)
- hover: trigger-now + manage (open the Cron page)
- capped at 50 with a "50+" badge
Cron page: de-nested from a collapse-in-row accordion to master/detail —
job list + the selected job's schedule, actions, and run history.
Backend: GET /api/cron/jobs/{id}/runs lists a job's run sessions.
Share STATE_DOT/jobState across both surfaces; drop dead code/keys.
Scheduler sessions (source=cron) were listed in recents, where their
`[IMPORTANT: …]` first-message previews spammed the list — and because
cron runs are always newest, a burst of them consumed the whole recents
page budget and starved real conversations (sidebar showed 0 sessions).
Recents and cron jobs are now two independent lists:
- Backend: /api/sessions + /api/profiles/sessions accept source /
exclude_sources; session_count gains exclude_sources. Recents query
excludes cron; the cron section queries source=cron.
- Desktop: separate $cronSessions store + refreshCronSessions fetch, a
collapsed (persisted) "Cron jobs" section below Sessions that only
renders when cron sessions exist, with its own bounded scroller.
Add rebindable actions for the high-frequency gaps: focus composer, open
model picker, next/prev session, search sessions (⌘⇧F), show files/
terminal tab, and nav→artifacts. Reconcile the duplicate Shift+N new-
session listener into session.new's defaults, and surface the remaining
context-local shortcuts (⌘↵ steer, ⌘L terminal selection, ⌘W close
preview) as read-only rows so the panel is the honest source of truth.
Add a central keybind registry + nanostore so desktop hotkeys are
discoverable and user-rebindable. A titlebar ⌨ button (and ⌘/) opens a
collapsible map grouped by Composer (read-only) / Profiles / Session /
Navigation / View; click any chip to capture a new combo. Overrides
persist to localStorage as a delta against shipped defaults, so future
default changes aren't shadowed by a stored snapshot.
Migrates the previously scattered inline listeners (palette, command
center, new session, sidebar, theme) into the registry, and adds profile
switch/cycle/create + default-profile hotkeys.
Introduce a lightweight React context-based i18n layer for the desktop
app and translate the UI into Simplified Chinese.
- New apps/desktop/src/i18n module: typed Translations interface, en + zh
locale tables, I18nProvider/useI18n, localStorage-persisted locale
(defaults to English), and language endonym metadata for the picker.
- Wire I18nProvider at the app root in main.tsx.
- Refactor 24 desktop screens/components to read strings from the `t`
object instead of hard-coded English.
- Add a unit test for the i18n context.
Mirror the workspace-group "+": each profile header in the all-profiles
session list gets a new-session button. Unlike selecting the profile, it
leaves the browse scope untouched (newSessionInProfile keeps
$showAllProfiles), so creating a chat doesn't collapse the unified view.
Resolve conflicts in desktop settings/cron/messaging/sidebar: adopt main's
ListRow + actions-menu refactors for credential rows; keep our profileColor
import on the sidebar. Drop the now-orphaned Tip-based helpers.
Hold (~450ms) a profile square — or right-click → Color… — to open a
shadcn Popover of swatches and override its rail color, with Auto to fall
back to the deterministic hue. The hold timer rides alongside the dnd
pointer listener (a real drag cancels it, the trailing click is
suppressed), so reorder/select/recolor stay distinct gestures.
Overrides persist in localStorage ($profileColors), resolved via
resolveProfileColor (override wins, else the name-hashed hue). Cosmetic
and gated on the multi-profile rail, so single-profile users are
unaffected. Adds a reusable ui/popover.tsx (radix-ui umbrella).
Centralize the fallback in DeleteProfileDialog (the single delete choke
point) so both the rail and the Profiles view inherit it. Reset *after*
the host's onDeleted refresh so a refreshActiveProfile racing the dying
backend can't clobber the pill back to the deleted profile, and set
$activeProfile too (selectProfile only moved the gateway, leaving the
statusbar pill stranded on the dead profile).
Drag a sidebar session into the composer to drop an @session:<profile>/<id>
chip the agent resolves via session_search. New READ shape dumps a whole
session by id (head+tail when large); a `profile` param reads another
profile's DB read-only, and a cross-profile locate scan resolves bare ids
when the model drops the owning profile from the link.
Also: ASCII "waking up <profile>" overlay during lazy gateway swaps,
global haptic rate-limit to kill the reconnect-storm "clickity" buzz, and
reauth toasts surfaced once per disconnect instead of every backoff tick.
- right-click a profile square to rename or delete it, via shared
self-contained dialogs (also reused by the profiles page)
- switching or creating a profile now resets to a fresh new-session
draft so the prior session doesn't stay sticky across contexts
- deleting the profile you're currently in falls back to default
instead of stranding the gateway on a dead profile
- shared ConfirmDialog: Enter/Space confirm from anywhere in the dialog;
profile-delete and cron-delete both route through it
The per-session icon picker added more noise than value — rip it out end
to end (sessions.icon column, set_session_icon, the PATCH field, the
picker UI, and the SessionInfo.icon type).
The cross-profile session aggregator now opens each profile's state.db
read-only (mode=ro, no schema init), so listing other profiles on every
sidebar refresh never DDLs or takes a write lock on their live DBs. The
single-profile hot path stays on par with /api/sessions.
Left-align the default's home icon next to the create "+" in the
single-profile state (toggle/squares/Manage still appear only once a
second profile exists).
Always mount the profile rail, but when only the default profile exists
render just the create-profile "+" (hide the default/all toggle, the
draggable squares, and Manage). Gives a first-profile affordance without
the full switcher chrome; everything else appears once a 2nd profile exists.
If a user drops back to a single profile while scope is still ALL
(persisted), the rail is hidden — they'd be stuck in the grouped view
with no toggle out. Fall back to the scoped view when only one profile.
- Wheel maps vertical scroll → horizontal so the rail is navigable with a
plain mouse (trackpad x-scroll still passes through).
- Springy easeOutBack reflow; dragged square glides between snapped cells
(no scale — overflow-x strip would clip it) with a subtle lift.
- Haptic 'selection' tick per crossed cell + 'success' on a committed reorder.
Snap the drag transform to whole cells (no free glide) and clamp it to the
occupied squares strip via a relative wrapper as offsetParent, so a square
can't float past the last profile onto the "+" and break the layout.
overflow-x-auto makes overflow-y compute to auto, so a vertical drag
translate faulted in a cross-axis scrollbar. Pin the drag transform to
y:0 with a modifier — squares only slide horizontally now.
Make the named-profile squares reorderable via dnd-kit (horizontal sort,
4px activation so a tap still selects). Order persists in localStorage
($profileOrder); unordered/new profiles alphabetize at the tail.
- Add a "+" in the profile rail that opens a self-contained CreateProfileDialog
(name + clone toggle + optional SOUL.md); extract it and ActionStatus from
the profiles view so both surfaces share one flow.
- Keep the profile rail pinned to the bottom when a profile has no sessions by
rendering a flex-1 spacer (previously the rail floated up to the nav).
Add first-class profile support to the desktop app without app reloads.
- Swap the single live gateway onto a session's profile lazily (spawned on
demand by the Electron backend pool), so one backend serves the active
profile and others stay cold — no OOM with many profiles.
- Aggregate sessions across profiles by reading each profile's state.db
read-only; unified "All profiles" view groups sessions per profile with
per-profile pagination, while the default view stays scoped to one profile.
- Add an Arc-style profile rail at the sidebar foot: a default<->all toggle
pinned left, colored named-profile squares scrolling between, Manage pinned
right. Profile identity is a deterministic per-name color.
- Route profile-scoped REST (config/env/skills/tools/model) to the active
gateway profile and invalidate React Query caches on swap. Single-profile
users never trigger a swap, so their path is unchanged.
Backend:
- web_server: profile-aware active/list endpoints + per-profile session
totals; hermes_state: session_count(exclude_children); main.py: honor
--profile over HERMES_HOME env for pooled backends.
UI primitives:
- Add a position-aware Tip tooltip (instant, themed) as a drop-in for native
title=, and strip redundant tooltips from self-descriptive chrome.
