Asserts ensureGatewayProfile keeps $connection in lockstep with the active
profile's backend: activating a remote pool profile flips mode to remote,
returning to default resyncs to local, a failed descriptor fetch leaves the
prior connection intact, and a same-profile activation doesn't churn it.
Regression coverage for #46651.
The renderer's $connection seeds from the PRIMARY (window) backend at boot and
otherwise only refreshes on a sleep/wake reconnect. Activating a background
profile (ensureGatewayProfile) pointed the live gateway + REST at that profile's
backend but never updated $connection, so its `mode` stayed stuck on the
primary. With a local primary and a remote pool profile active, every code path
that branches on local-vs-remote misfired: image attachments went out via the
path-based `image.attach` instead of `image.attach_bytes`, handing the remote
gateway a client-only Windows path it can't resolve ("image not found: C:\..."),
and the /api/fs/* file browser and /api/media fetches targeted the wrong
machine.
Resync $connection from the now-active profile's descriptor right after the
gateway swap, so the remote-aware paths follow the live backend. Best-effort: a
failed descriptor fetch leaves the prior connection intact for boot/reconnect to
resync. Single-profile users are unaffected (the same-profile fast path never
runs the swap).
Fixes#46651
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Group recents as parent-repo → worktree → sessions using local git
metadata (probed over IPC, with a path-name heuristic fallback for
remote backends). Single-worktree repos collapse to one level. Sessions
order by creation time and never reshuffle on new messages.
Also: fuse the status stack to the composer border, restore icon actions
in the queue panel, fix sidebar label truncation and drag styling, hide
sticky-message attachments while pinned, and bump the terminal font.
Strict sticky-bottom autoscroll for the chat thread: while the viewport is
parked at the bottom, the tail follows content growth (streaming tokens, late
measurement, Shiki re-highlight) via a useLayoutEffect keyed on the
virtualizer's own size signal, pinned in the same pre-paint pass as its
scrollToFn so the two never rubber-band. The gate is a single boolean — one
upward pixel (scroll/wheel/touch) disarms follow until the user returns to the
bottom.
Adds a floating jump-to-bottom control that appears once scrolled ~10px away
(above the dim threshold so a sub-pixel settle never flashes it), positioned
above the composer with respect to the status stack, with a subtle
scale + slide in/out animation that honours prefers-reduced-motion. The button
bridges to the virtualizer's re-arm + pin path through a small nanostore
emitter.
Supersedes #43624.
Salvage of #45240. The dismiss-settled-tool-rows affordance was correct in
intent but had two issues against current main:
- The thread is virtualized, so a row's component unmounts/remounts as it
scrolls. Component-local `useState` dismissal was forgotten on remount and
the row popped back. Move dismissal into a session-scoped nanostore keyed by
the stable disclosure id (mirrors $toolDisclosureOpen), so a dismissed row
stays gone while scrolling but a reload restores real history instead of
permanently rewriting it.
- The dismiss button lived in DisclosureRow's absolute `trailing` slot — the
exact "opacity-0-but-clickable control fights the caret" pattern the trailing
comment warns against. Add an in-flow `action` slot that lays out at the far
right so an interactive control never overlaps the caret's hit-target,
regardless of title length, and move the dismiss button into it.
Adds a remount regression test alongside the existing dismissal coverage.
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.
* feat(desktop): session-scoped status stack + kill new-window theme flash
Stack subagents, background tasks, and the queue into one collapsible
"sink" above the composer, reusing the queue's chrome so every status
reads as one piece. Extracts shared StatusSection / StatusRow /
TerminalOutput primitives and a unified $statusItemsBySession store
(subagents mirrored, background owned here, merged + grouped for render).
Renames BrailleSpinner → GlyphSpinner now that it drives more than braille.
Separately, fix the white flash on every new/cmd-clicked window: macOS
`vibrancy` paints an NSVisualEffectView that follows the OS appearance and
ignores `backgroundColor`, so a dark app on a light-mode Mac flashed white
until the renderer painted over it. Pin `nativeTheme.themeSource` to the
app theme (persisted to userData so cold launches paint right before the
renderer loads), hold windows with `show:false` until `ready-to-show`, and
pre-paint the themed background via an inline script before the bundle runs.
* feat(desktop): dock the slash popover to the composer via one shared fill var
The slash·@ popover (and ? help) now docks onto the composer's edge with the
same chrome as the queue/status stack — rounded outer corners, fused borderless
edge, no shadow — but keeps its own narrow width.
Surface + drawer paint a single --composer-fill var; the state ladder
(rest / scrolled / focused / drawer-open) lives once in styles.css on
[data-slot='composer-root']. The :has() drawer-open rule is last and forces an
opaque fill, since translucent glass sampling different backdrops (thread vs
fade gradient) can never match. This replaces the focus-within !important
override that repainted the surface behind every previous matching attempt.
Also drop the chevron column from the project file tree — the folder open/closed
icon already carries the expand state.
* feat(desktop): base inset for file tree rows (post-chevron alignment)
* feat(desktop): wire the status stack's background tasks to the real process registry
The background group was UI-only (dev-mock seeded). Now it's live e2e:
- tui_gateway: new session-scoped `process.list` (registry snapshot filtered
by the session's session_key, plus a 4KB output tail for the inline
terminal viewer) and `process.kill` (single process, ownership-checked —
unlike process.stop's kill_all).
- Renderer: `reconcileBackgroundProcesses` syncs snapshots into the store
layout-stably — rows keep their position when state flips (never re-sort),
new processes append, unchanged rows keep object identity so memoised rows
skip re-rendering, and a dismissed-set stops the registry's retained
finished procs from resurrecting X-ed rows.
- Refresh triggers: session open, terminal/process tool.complete,
status.update(kind=process) from the gateway's notification poller, and a
5s poll armed only while a running row is visible (catches silent exits).
- Stop = real `process.kill` + optimistic dismiss; Dismiss = client-side
with resurrection guard.
- Re-keyed the stack to the RUNTIME session id: it was keyed by the stored
session id, where neither subagent events nor process.list would ever land.
- Deleted dev-status-mocks.ts (__hermesStatusMocks) — no more seed shit.
Reconcile invariants covered in store/composer-status.test.ts.
* feat(desktop): todos + openable subagents in the status stack, self-healing file tree
- todo lists move out of the inline chat panel into the composer status stack
(checklist icon, dashed ring = pending, spinner = in progress, check = done),
fed live from todo tool events and seeded from history on session open
- subagent rows carry the child's real session id end-to-end
(delegate_tool → gateway → renderer) so clicking one opens ITS session window
- status stack publishes its measured height so the thread's bottom clearance
grows with it; card paints the shared --composer-fill so focused/scrolled
states match the composer exactly
- file tree self-heals: ENOENT roots retry on a 3s cadence + Try again button,
and the main process expands ~ in IPC paths (gateway cwds arrive as ~/...)
- composer drag-drop of tree entries inserts inline refs instead of attachments
* fix(desktop): file tree falls back to the workspace dir when a session's cwd is gone
Sessions record their launch cwd; deleted worktrees leave that path dead,
so opening such a session swapped the tree from the default workspace to a
directory that ENOENTs forever — the 3s retry just spun on it. On a root
read error the tree now asks main to sanitize the cwd (prefers the
configured default project dir), displays that fallback, and quietly
re-probes the original path so it switches back if the dir reappears.
* feat(desktop): working restore-checkpoint button on past user prompts
The discard icon on hover of a past user bubble was decorative — clicking
did nothing. It's now a real control: a confirmation dialog explains that
everything after the prompt is removed, then the session rewinds to that
turn and reruns the same prompt (prompt.submit with
truncate_before_user_ordinal, the same mechanism the edit composer uses).
Failures rethrow into the dialog's inline error instead of toasting.
* fix(desktop): show the restore-checkpoint button on the latest user prompt too
Restoring the most recent prompt is just 'retry this turn' — no reason to
exclude it. Stop still takes the slot while the turn is running.
* fix(desktop): finished todo lists clear themselves out of the status stack
A list whose every item is completed/cancelled lingers ~4s so the final
checkmark is visible, then the todo group drops out of the stack. A fresh
active list arriving within the linger cancels the scheduled clear.
* chore(desktop): drop dead editableCheckpoint copy, terser restore confirm
* fix(desktop): rewind clears the abandoned timeline's todos + background
Restoring to (or editing) an earlier prompt rewinds the conversation, but
the todos and background processes spawned by the now-discarded turns kept
showing in the status stack — and the real background processes kept
running. Both rewind paths now clear the session's todo rows and kill +
drop its background processes before the fresh run repopulates them. Also
drops the click-to-edit clamp transition, which flashed a half-expanded
bubble on the way into the edit composer.
* feat(desktop): user messages are always editable; edit/restore revert mid-stream
The bubble is now always click-to-edit — even while a turn streams — instead
of going inert during a run. Sending an edit acts like restore: it rewinds to
that prompt and re-runs with the new text. Both edit and restore can fire
mid-stream now; the gateway refuses prompt.submit while a turn runs (4009
"session busy"), so they interrupt the live turn first and retry the submit
until the cooperative interrupt winds it down. Restore (re-run as-is) shows on
every prompt except the latest running one, which keeps the Stop button.
* fix(desktop): label preview-pane ⌘L selections with the filename, not "zsh"
The terminal owns a global ⌘/Ctrl+L "send selection to composer" shortcut, so
selecting text in the file preview pane and hitting it fell through to the
terminal handler — which imported the right text but labelled the composer ref
"zsh:N lines" off the shell name. When the selection isn't an xterm selection,
label it with the previewed file instead.
* fix(desktop): ⌘L on a preview line selection inserts the @line ref, like dragging
The source preview lets you select lines in the gutter and drag them into the
composer as an @line:path:start-end ref. ⌘/Ctrl+L now does the same when a line
selection is active — it drops the identical ref instead of falling through to
the terminal's global handler (which grabbed the native text selection and sent
a bogus terminal block). Capture-phase + stopPropagation so it wins; with a line
selection there's no native selection, so the terminal handler stays out of it.
* chore: gitignore apps/desktop/demo/ scratch output
The desktop demo prompt writes demo/*.txt during recorded walkthroughs; it's
throwaway, never part of the app. Ignore it so it stops cluttering git status.
* feat(desktop): subagent watch windows, hard stop, sidebar hygiene
Child-session mirror for live subagent windows, delegate sessions tagged
and excluded from the sidebar, composer focus/stop polish, and WS stall
resilience on the gateway transport.
* refactor: DRY delegate SQL + trim status-stack noise
Extract shared listable-child and delegate-delete helpers in hermes_state,
collapse cancelRun busy release, and cut comment bloat in resume/status paths.
* fix(desktop): hide orphaned subagent sessions in sidebar
Cascade-delete all ephemeral children on parent delete (not just tagged rows),
run v16 backfill to tag legacy orphans, and record new delegates as source=subagent.
* fix: restore orphan contract for untagged children + lazy session eviction
Cascade-delete only _delegate_from-tagged rows (v16 backfill covers legacy),
walk marker chains recursively with FK-safe orphaning, gate lazy watch
sessions out of the still-starting eviction exemption via an explicit flag,
pass session_id to _make_agent only when resuming, and hide source=subagent
from session search.
* fix(gateway): gate child mirror off upgraded sessions + age out stale run entries
Review findings: the mirror could interleave synthetic events with a real
native stream once a watch window upgrades (prompt.submit builds an agent),
and a lost subagent.complete left _active_child_runs pinning running=true
forever. Mirror now stops when the live session owns an agent; liveness
reads ignore entries older than an hour.
* fix(gateway): reject prompt.submit into a watch session while its child runs
A lazy watch session's running flag is False (the run lives in the parent
turn), so typing mid-run sailed past the busy guard and built a second agent
racing the in-flight child on the same stored session. Busy error until the
run completes; afterwards the submit upgrades into a normal conversation.
* refactor(gateway): DRY watch-resume payload + compose listable-child SQL
Fold the duplicated child-run busy overlay into one _reuse_live_payload
helper across both resume reuse paths, collapse the twin mirror early-returns,
and build _LISTABLE_CHILD_SQL from _BRANCH_CHILD_SQL instead of restating it.
* fix(desktop): clip horizontal overflow on sidebar scroll areas
Add overflow-x-hidden alongside overflow-y-auto on session list scrollers
and the shared SidebarContent primitive — vertical scroll unchanged.
The desktop "Local / custom endpoint" onboarding never collected an API
key and /api/model/set silently dropped one, so an auth-gated endpoint
(e.g. a hosted vLLM behind a key) could never enumerate models — and
Settings' "Set up custom endpoint" routed `custom` into a non-existent
OAuth flow, booting the user back to the first screen (the reported loop).
Backend (web_server.py):
- /api/providers/validate accepts an optional api_key and sends it as a
Bearer header when probing a custom endpoint's /v1/models.
- /api/model/set accepts api_key, persists it to model.api_key (same
switch/preserve lifecycle as base_url), and registers a named
custom_providers entry via _save_custom_provider — matching the
`hermes model` CLI flow so the endpoint shows up as a ready picker row.
Desktop:
- ApiKeyForm shows an optional API key field for the local/custom option;
the key is threaded through saveOnboardingLocalEndpoint → validate +
setModelAssignment.
- New onboarding `localEndpoint` intent + startManualLocalEndpoint(); the
Settings "Set up custom endpoint" button now opens the local-endpoint
form (URL + key) instead of the OAuth dead-end.
- Added localApiKeyPlaceholder i18n key (en + types + zh).
Tests: api_key lifecycle on _apply_main_model_assignment, key persistence
+ custom_providers registration on /api/model/set, Bearer-header probe;
onboarding store forwards + persists the key.
Collapse the verbose multi-line rationale comments across the TUI/desktop/
backend approval surfaces into single-line "why" notes, and derive
APPROVAL_OPTS_NO_ALWAYS from APPROVAL_OPTS instead of re-listing it.
No behavior change.
When a tirith content-security warning is present the approval backend
forces allow_permanent=False and silently downgrades an "always" choice to
session scope (the persistence loop in check_all_command_guards only honors
"always" → permanent when no tirith finding exists). But the gateway notify
payload that drives the TUI and the Electron desktop app never carried that
flag, so both surfaces always rendered "Always allow" — offering a permanent
allow the backend would quietly refuse to persist.
Plumb allow_permanent end-to-end:
- tools/approval.py: include `allow_permanent: not has_tirith` in the gateway
approval_data the notify callback emits as `approval.request`.
- ui-tui: thread `allowPermanent` through the event handler, gateway types,
and ApprovalReq; ApprovalPrompt drops the "always" option (and renumbers the
quick-pick keys) when it's false.
- apps/desktop: thread `allow_permanent` through the gateway payload type, the
per-session approval store, and the inline ApprovalBar, which now hides the
"Always allow…" dropdown item when permanent allow is disallowed — reusing
the existing DropdownMenu / confirm-Dialog UI.
The desktop/TUI render path for approvals already landed in #38578 (the root
cause of approvals not surfacing in the GUI); this completes the salvage of
#37856 by carrying allow_permanent across both surfaces. #37856's original
thread-local _block() approach is dropped: desktop/TUI approvals resolve via
approval.respond → resolve_gateway_approval (the per-session queue), not the
_block()/request_id correlation, so a worker-thread callback waiting on _block
would never be released by the real UI.
Tests: gateway notify payload carries allow_permanent (True without tirith,
False with a tirith warning); ui-tui approvalAction reduced option set +
event-handler allowPermanent propagation; desktop store round-trip + the
ApprovalBar showing/hiding "Always allow".

When a user toggles off the last visible model for a provider group, the
effectiveVisibleKeys() function treated the missing provider prefix as
'never customized' and re-added the default models on the next render,
causing all models to snap back to enabled.
Fix: store a sentinel key (e.g. 'provider::') when the last model for a
provider is toggled off. The sentinel distinguishes 'user hid everything'
from 'user never customized', preventing the default-fallback path from
re-adding models the user explicitly chose to hide.
Fixes#43485
When auto-compression rotates the session tip (old #4 → new #5), the
incoming page carries the new tip but the previous list still holds the
old one. The old tip's id differs from the new tip's id, so the existing
id-only dedup in mergeSessionPage() preserves both as separate sidebar
rows.
Add lineage-level dedup: build a set of incoming lineage keys
(`_lineage_root_id ?? id`) and filter survivors whose lineage key
matches any incoming row. This mirrors the existing sessionPinId()
logic used for pin stability.
Fixes#43483
Keyed draft stash (Map + localStorage mirror) behind the live composer:
switching threads stashes the departing draft and restores the entering
one; empty threads show an empty box. Session lifecycle never clears
composer state — the scope swap is the only coupling.

- DRY the duplicated submit-restore blocks into dispatchSubmit()
- inline localStorage access (drop browserStorage indirection);
clearPersistedComposerDraft delegates to write('')
- drop stale per-scope-stash comment in use-session-actions
The composer is a single global surface that sits ABOVE the thread: its
contents follow the user across session switches and are never touched
by session lifecycle. Switching threads doesn't change the render.
Replaces the per-scope draft choreography (scoped storage keys, attachment
stash map, skip-sentinel, restore-on-scope-change effect) with:
- one global localStorage key so an unsent draft survives app reloads
- a one-shot restore on mount
- nothing else — session switches simply don't touch the composer
Verified E2E via CDP with real sidebar clicks + real keystrokes:
typed draft survives A->B->A switching and a full page reload.
The salvaged draft persistence scoped text per session but reset the
composer's attachments to [] on every scope change, so a staged image or
file was silently dropped when you switched sessions and never restored on
return — inconsistent with the "drafts survive session switches" promise
and a real paper-cut given remote staging cost.
Retain attachments per scope in an in-memory map (keyed by the same scope
as the text draft) since blobs / object URLs / live upload state can't be
serialized to localStorage. Entering a scope restores its stashed chips;
leaving stashes the current ones; an accepted submit clears the scope.
This survives session switches (the case users hit) without pretending to
survive a full reload, which attachments fundamentally can't.
Also guard the debounced text write so browsing sent-message history or
editing a queued prompt (both swap the composer to recalled text via
loadIntoComposer) no longer clobbers the genuine in-progress draft in
storage.

Save in-progress composer text to browser localStorage per chat session and restore it when the desktop composer remounts. Keep the draft when submit is rejected or throws, and clear it only after the prompt is accepted.
* desktop: surface /tools, /save, /personality and fix /help skill count
Move /tools and /save out of TERMINAL_ONLY_COMMANDS and /personality out of
ADVANCED_COMMANDS so they appear in the desktop slash palette and execute via
the existing slash.exec → command.dispatch fallback. The backend gateway already
accepts these through slash.exec (none are in _PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS or the
skill list), so no backend change is required.
Recompute skill_count in filterDesktopCommandsCatalog from the filtered pairs.
Previously the /help footer echoed the unfiltered backend total — e.g. "60
skill commands available" while only ~29 actually appeared in the rendered
list, because the desktop hides terminal-only, picker-owned, and advanced
commands.

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

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

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

* fix(desktop): honor default project directory for new sessions
The Settings picker persisted project-dir.json but the renderer kept
seeding new chats from sticky localStorage home. Prefer the configured
default on boot and session.create, pin TERMINAL_CWD at backend spawn,
and reject packaged install-dir paths that regressed after #37536.

* fix(desktop): address review on default project dir PR
Add workspace cwd precedence tests, extract isPackagedInstallPath for
platform test coverage, and stop rewriting live $currentCwd when a
session is already active (cache-only until the next new chat).

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.

Bind session.next/prev to Control+Tab / Control+Shift+Tab with a distinct
`ctrl` modifier token (literal Control on macOS — not Cmd, which the OS
reserves). Add ^1…^9 positional jumps mirroring profile ⌘1…⌘9.
Mac-style interaction:
- Quick ^Tab tap jumps on keydown with no HUD (even if Ctrl stays down)
- Hold Tab ~220ms, or tap Tab again while Ctrl is held → compact HUD
- Ctrl↑ commits the highlight; Esc cancels; rows clickable (^+click safe)
- Recency-ordered list snapshotted on open; cycles by stored session id
Includes combo.test.ts + session-switcher.test.ts.
* 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.
Two races in the drop-time eager upload:
- Resurrected chip: the success path used addComposerAttachment, which
re-appends when the id is gone, so a file removed mid-upload reappeared once
the upload resolved. Add updateComposerAttachment (update-only; no-op when the
chip was removed) and use it on both the eager success path and submit-time
sync.
- Duplicate upload: submit-time sync didn't join an eager upload still in
flight, so drop-then-Enter could fire file.attach twice and leave a duplicate
under .hermes/desktop-attachments/. Track in-flight eager uploads by id and
await the pending one before deciding to re-upload, reusing its gateway ref.
Tests: composer-store no-resurrect unit tests + a join-on-submit integration
test asserting a single file.attach.
Addresses @helix4u review on #43109.
Finder/OS drops became `@file:/Users/...` refs that only resolve when the
gateway shares the local disk, so on a remote gateway non-image files
(PDF/CSV/Markdown/...) never reached the agent. Route OS drops through the
file.attach / image.attach_bytes upload pipeline — in-app project-tree and
gutter drags stay inline workspace-relative refs — across every drop surface:
the conversation area, the composer form, the contenteditable input, and the
message-edit composer (which still reproduced the bug).
Also:
- upload dropped files eagerly when a session exists, so the card shows a
spinner instead of stalling the send (images stay submit-time to avoid
racing their thumbnail write);
- round the attachment card and drop the monospace detail;
- render image previews from the bytes we already hold, so a pasted/dropped
screenshot shows its thumbnail and previews even when its only on-disk copy
is a transient path (the data URL is not persisted to localStorage).
Supersedes #38615, #41203.

* fix(desktop): keep chat recents focused and reset hotkey target
Exclude messaging platform threads from chat recents pagination so Load More returns chat sessions, and clear stale quick-create profile state before Ctrl+N starts a new session.
* fix(desktop): surface new sessions in sidebar + unstick new-chat Thinking
Two renderer regressions in the desktop chat app:
- Sidebar ordering: orderByIds/reconcileOrderIds appended ids missing from
the persisted order to the BOTTOM. Callers pass recency-sorted lists
(newest first), so a brand-new Ctrl+N session sank below the saved order
and read as "my latest session never showed up". Prepend fresh ids so new
activity surfaces at the top.
- New-chat stuck on "Thinking": terminal/attention state transitions
(turn finished, error, or agent now waiting on user) were RAF-batched.
Electron throttles requestAnimationFrame to ~0 while the window is
backgrounded, occluded, or unfocused, stranding the deferred flush. Flush
critical transitions (!busy || needsInput) synchronously; keep the busy
heartbeat RAF-batched to avoid scroll churn.
Does not touch the messaging-source exclusion in chat recents queries.
* fix(desktop): stop excluding messaging platforms from chat recents
The "keep chat recents focused" change excluded every messaging-platform
source (telegram, discord, slack, …) from the recents query. That silently
undid the messaging-source-folder feature already on main (ede4f5a4a): the
sidebar builds those folders purely from the loaded recents page, so once the
sources were filtered out the folders never rendered — telegram and friends
vanished from the left sidebar.
Only cron stays excluded (it has its own dedicated section). Messaging
sessions belong in the sidebar and render with their platform folder/icon.
Removes the now-unused MESSAGING_SESSION_SOURCE_IDS export.
* fix(desktop): give each messaging platform its own self-managed sidebar section
Recents are local-only again: cron and every messaging platform are excluded
from the chat-recents query, so "Load more" pages through interactive local
chats instead of interleaving gateway threads that bury them.
Each messaging platform (telegram, discord, ...) is now fetched as its own
slice (refreshMessagingSessions) and rendered as a self-managed sidebar
section with its platform icon, count, and per-platform "load more" — no
source-grouping magic inside recents.
Handed-off sessions (live source becomes local after a handoff) keep their
origin-platform badge on the row via handoff_platform, so a Telegram thread
continued in the desktop still reads as Telegram.
* fix(desktop): self-heal a stranded routed session in route-resume
An intermittent create/stream race can leave selected/active session ids
null while the route stays on /:sid — the transcript then sticks empty
even though the turn completed and persisted (the "second Ctrl+N shows no
response" symptom). The pathname didn't change, so route-resume's normal
gate skipped and the view stayed stuck.
Resume whenever the routed session isn't the loaded one, gated on
freshDraftReady so the /:sid -> /new transition (which also momentarily
nulls selected/active a render before the pathname flips) is NOT treated
as stranded. selectedStoredSessionIdRef is set synchronously at resume
entry, so this can't loop, and the resume cached fast-path restores the
already-streamed messages without a refetch.
* fix(desktop): bypass smooth reveal on primary markdown stream
Render main assistant text through deferred markdown directly instead of the smooth-reveal wrapper. This isolates the wrapper to reasoning surfaces and avoids the intermittent blank-response regression after consecutive new-session flows.
@file: attachments now work when the desktop is connected to a remote
gateway. Previously a referenced file resolved to a client-disk path the
gateway couldn't see, so context_references rejected it with "path is
outside the allowed workspace" and the agent never saw the file.
Adds a file.attach RPC (sibling to the existing image.attach_bytes /
pdf.attach byte-upload pipeline): the desktop uploads the file bytes, the
gateway stages them into <workspace>/.hermes/desktop-attachments/ and
returns a workspace-relative @file: ref that resolves cleanly. Local mode
passes the path directly; a gateway-visible file outside the workspace is
copied in; an in-workspace file is referenced as-is with no copy.
Consolidates the file-sync design from #38615 (LeonSGP43) and the
host-file-staging idea from #33455 (Carry00), rebased onto the
image/PDF remote-media helpers already on main.

A brand-new session's first turn persists to the SessionDB a beat after
the gateway emits message.complete, so a refresh fired in that window gets
a listSessions(min_messages=1) page that omits the new row. sessionsToKeep()
already shields the *active* chat from this race, but a session you started
and then navigated away from is — at the next refresh — neither working,
pinned, nor active, so mergeSessionPage() evicts it. Nothing re-fetches
afterward, so it stays gone until the app restarts.
Track sessions whose turn just settled (a real working->idle transition) in
a short, auto-expiring grace window and add them to the merge keep-set. This
bridges the persist race for non-active chats without resurrecting deleted
rows (mergeSessionPage only revives rows still in the in-memory list, which
optimistic delete/archive already drop).
Repro: start a new chat, send a message, then click another session before
the reply lands — the new session vanishes from the sidebar.
Two independent reviewers flagged that applyBackendUpdate's in-progress and
error messages were inline English while the rest of the update overlay is
i18n'd. Move them into updates.applyStatus (preparing/pulling/restarting/
notAvailable/failed/noReturn) across en, ja, zh, zh-hant + types.
The no-return error said 'Backend updated but did not come back online' — but
once the connection drops the client can't know the update's exit code, only
that it was started and the backend is unreachable. Reword to not overclaim:
the update may not have completed.
Three rough edges in the remote backend apply flow:
- On success the overlay dropped to IDLE, briefly re-rendering the pre-install
'update available' view and then the generic 'you're all set' before settling.
Close the overlay outright once the backend is confirmed back instead of
bouncing through the idle view.
- If the backend never came back (a failed restart), the flow still reported
success. waitForBackendReturn now returns whether the backend answered;
finishBackendApply surfaces an error when it didn't.
- The up-to-date copy said 'you're running the latest version', conflating
client and backend. Backend target now reads 'the backend is running the
latest version' — the client's own version is a separate pill.
The backend Install path set stage:'restart' and stopped — in remote mode no
boot-progress events arrive to carry the overlay to done, so it sat on the
restarting spinner until a manual reload while the backend had already come
back. Poll the backend until it answers again, then clear the overlay and
refresh the backend status. Target-aware applying copy explains the remote
restart + auto-reconnect instead of the local-updater-window wording.
Also switch the apply poll sleeps from window.setTimeout to globalThis.setTimeout
so the flow is exercisable off the renderer.
The poller starts at mount, before the gateway connects, so its initial
checkBackendUpdates() ran while mode was still unset and no-op'd via the
remote-mode guard — leaving the backend button empty until the user clicked it.
Subscribe to $connection and re-check the backend when mode resolves to remote.
Two follow-ups from testing the two-button bar:
- The background poller and focus handler only checked the client, so the
backend behind-count and changelog stayed empty until the user opened the
overlay — and the overlay's first render then hit the empty-commits fallback
('Improvements and fixes') instead of the real changelog. Check the backend
alongside the client on poller start, interval, and focus so its state is
ready before the button is clicked.
- Order the status bar client-first, backend-second.
The status bar merged both versions into one pill with a single click target,
so there was no way to tell which artifact an update acted on — and the apply
path was overloaded by connection mode. Separate them:
- store: independent client (checkUpdates/applyUpdates) and backend
(checkBackendUpdates/applyBackendUpdate) flows with their own status/apply
atoms; openUpdateOverlayFor(target) drives the overlay.
- status bar: two buttons — client vX (always) and backend vY (+N) (remote
only), each with its own behind-count, opening the overlay for its target.
- overlay: reads the active target's atoms; install/check route per target.
Removes the version-bar merge helper (no longer merging the two versions).
