First non-placeholder version so electron-builder's artifactName template
produces `Hermes-0.0.1-win-x64.exe` instead of the obviously-unreleased
`Hermes-0.0.0-...`. No release process yet; this just stops the artifact
filename from telling users "you got a debug build."
Bumped in three slots that all carry the desktop app's version:
- apps/desktop/package.json (source of truth)
- apps/desktop/package-lock.json (per-app lockfile, kept for CI parity)
- root package-lock.json's apps/desktop workspace entry
Identity-of-build for first-launch bootstrap continues to come from
build/install-stamp.json (commit SHA + builtAt), unchanged.
Pre-existing failure on bb/gui since c858484b4 swapped the node-pty
fork for upstream microsoft/node-pty 1.1.0. main.cjs intentionally
bare-requires node-pty (it's hoisted by workspace dedup in dev, and
staged to resources/native-deps via scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs +
extraResources for packaged builds, with a try/catch fallback at
line ~38). The allowlist hadn't been updated to match -- same shape
as `electron`, which was already allowed.
A user-reported failure on Windows-on-ARM: a pre-installed Python 3.13
on PATH makes findSystemPython() succeed, so resolveHermesBackend
returns a backend pointing at it -- but hermes_cli isn't in that
interpreter's site-packages. The spawn dies with ModuleNotFoundError
and the user sees a dead GUI instead of the first-launch installer.
Same shape can hit step 4 (existing `hermes` on PATH) when a stale
shim survives a partial uninstall.
Add cheap exit-code probes -- `python -c "import hermes_cli"` for
step 5, `<hermes> --version` for step 4 -- and fall through to step 6
(bootstrap-needed) on failure. install.ps1 then runs as if on a clean
box and the venv gets built.
Probes live in a standalone electron/backend-probes.cjs module so they
can be unit-tested with node --test, same pattern as bootstrap-platform.cjs
and hardening.cjs. New test file wired into test:desktop:platforms.
Adds nix/desktop.nix building the Electron renderer with buildNpmPackage
and wrapping nixpkgs' electron binary. Reuses .#default by setting
HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES to its hermes binary, so the desktop's resolver
picks up the fully-wired nix hermes (venv, bundled skills/plugins,
runtime PATH) without reimplementing agent resolution.
- nix/desktop.nix: renderer + electron wrapper
- nix/hermes-agent.nix: finalAttrs form, exposes hermesDesktop in passthru
- nix/packages.nix: exposes .#desktop + adds to fix-lockfiles
- apps/desktop/package-lock.json: standalone hermetic lockfile
nix build .#desktop && nix run .#desktop both clean.
* desktop+gateway: harden Slack socket recovery and Windows restart dedupe
Fix Slack Socket Mode reliability by adding a watchdog/reconnect path so silent socket task drops no longer leave the adapter stuck. Harden Windows gateway lifecycle by avoiding desktop-binary path collisions, making gateway PID scans case/extension tolerant, and reusing in-flight restart actions to prevent duplicate gateway spawns.
* test(slack): add Socket Mode watchdog/reconnect behavioural coverage
Drive the new Slack Socket Mode self-healing logic through a fake AsyncSocketModeHandler so we can simulate the P0 silent-hang failure mode (task exit, transport disconnected, intentional shutdown, concurrent reconnect attempts) without touching real Slack.
* fix(slack,desktop): address Copilot review on watchdog races and path normalization
- connect(): explicitly cancel + await the prior socket watchdog before flipping _running, so an old monitor cannot exit between teardown and respawn (Copilot #1)
- _socket_watchdog_loop: wrap the body in try/except + add a done-callback that respawns on unexpected crash, so a transient bug cannot permanently disable self-healing (Copilot #2)
- normalizeExecutablePathForCompare: use the resolved path for realpathSync so non-string inputs cannot leak through (Copilot #3)
- Add tests for crash-recovery and atomic watchdog replacement across reconnects
* fix(slack): tighten connect() error path and clarify watchdog test intent
Address Copilot review round 2.
- connect(): wrap _start_socket_mode_handler/_ensure_socket_watchdog in a focused try/except so any failure rolls back partially-started handler/task state and leaves _running=False, ensuring the platform lock is always released by the outer finally
- Defer _running=True until after the handler is actually started so the watchdog observes a live socket task immediately and never spins against a half-built adapter
- Rename test_watchdog_self_restarts_after_unexpected_crash to test_watchdog_cancellation_does_not_respawn (matches what it actually asserts) and add test_watchdog_unexpected_exit_respawns_via_done_callback that drives a real RuntimeError through _on_socket_watchdog_done and verifies a fresh task replaces the crashed one
* fix(web_server): serialize action spawn check+store under a threading lock
Address Copilot review round 3.
FastAPI runs sync handlers on its threadpool, so two near-simultaneous /api/gateway/restart (or /api/hermes/update) requests could both observe "no live process" in _spawn_hermes_action's poll-based dedupe and double-spawn. Add a module-level _ACTION_SPAWN_LOCK around the entire check + Popen + _ACTION_PROCS store sequence so the dedupe is atomic across threads.
* fix: address Copilot review round 4
- slack.disconnect(): mirror connect()'s defensive cleanup — catch the broad Exception path on watchdog await so handler shutdown and lock release still run if the watchdog raised before cancellation took effect
- web_server._spawn_hermes_action: wrap subprocess.Popen in try/except so a missing executable / permission error closes the log file handle, writes a failure marker, and re-raises instead of leaking a file descriptor
- gateway._scan_gateway_pids: drop the over-broad "hermes.exe --profile" / "hermes.exe -p" patterns that would match any Hermes CLI subcommand using a profile flag (e.g. `hermes.exe --profile foo dashboard`); rely on the "hermes.exe gateway" + "hermes-gateway.exe" tokens instead
- tests: tighten _fake_create_task to assert coroutine input and return a real asyncio.Task that stays pending until pytest teardown, and update the three callsites whose mocked AsyncSocketModeHandler.start_async returned a non-coroutine value
* fix(slack): reset multi-workspace state on reconnect
Address Copilot review round 5.
connect() is reentrant (gateway restart, in-process reconnect), but it was leaving _bot_user_id / _team_clients / _team_bot_user_ids populated from the previous session. A reconnect that rotated the primary token or dropped a workspace would silently keep the stale bot user id and stale workspace client maps, leading to dispatch against gone workspaces.
Clear these three pieces of state right after _stop_socket_mode_handler() and before the auth_test loop, then let the loop repopulate from the current tokens. Add test_reconnect_refreshes_multi_workspace_state to lock it in.
The previous dependency, @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch@0.13.1,
publishes no win32-arm64 prebuilds on its v0.13.x line, and its v0.14.x
betas (which do add an arm64 Windows build) ship no electron-vXXX-win32-
arm64 prebuilds at all -- so packaged Electron 40 builds (NMV 143) would
fail at runtime even on a successful npm install. Net effect: the
desktop's integrated terminal was unbuildable on Windows-on-ARM, in
both dev (npm install fails: 404 fetching the node-vXXX-win32-arm64
prebuilt) and packaged builds (no Electron-ABI prebuilt exists).
The homebridge fork was originally created because upstream node-pty
shipped no prebuilds at all. That hasn't been true since node-pty@1.0
(April 2024), which:
- bundles prebuilts for mac (arm64+x64) and Windows (arm64+x64) directly
inside the npm tarball -- no GitHub-Releases fetch, no missing-binary
failure mode
- uses N-API (node-addon-api) for ABI stability across Node and Electron
major versions, so the same pty.node binary loads under Node 22 (dev)
and Electron 40+ (packaged) without per-ABI rebuilds
- is what VS Code, Hyper, and Theia actually ship
API surface is identical (spawn / onData / onExit / write / resize /
kill) -- no call-site changes needed.
Specifically:
- apps/desktop/package.json: replace the @homebridge fork with
node-pty@1.1.0 (exact pin). Widen `asarUnpack` from `["**/*.node"]`
to also unpack `**/prebuilds/**`, because node-pty ships runtime-
execed helpers alongside its .node files (darwin spawn-helper has no
extension and would not be matched by `**/*.node`; conpty.dll,
OpenConsole.exe, winpty.dll, winpty-agent.exe on Windows are also
exec'd at runtime and cannot live inside asar).
- apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: update both require() strings to
match the new package name and the new staged path under
resources/native-deps/node-pty/.
- apps/desktop/scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs: point at node_modules/
node-pty. node-pty's prebuilts live under prebuilds/<plat>-<arch>/
(not build/Release/), so update the include glob to copy that dir.
Per-arch staging keeps the resource bundle small (target arch comes
from npm_config_arch when electron-builder cross-builds, else
process.arch). Explicitly enumerate file types in the prebuilds glob
so the ~25 MB of .pdb debug symbols that prebuild-install bundles
for Windows crash analysis don't bloat the installer (29 MB -> 2.6 MB
staged on win32-arm64). Re-assert +x on the darwin spawn-helper
defensively, since a stripped mode bit would manifest as a silent
ENOENT at first pty.spawn().
- apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs: update expectedNativeDepPaths()
and its assertion site to look at prebuilds/<plat>-<arch>/ instead of
build/Release/. Add an explicit spawn-helper-exists check on darwin
so a regression in the asarUnpack glob would fail loudly in CI rather
than at first PTY spawn.
Trade-off: Linux end-users lose prebuilts and fall back to building
node-pty from source on `npm install`. Acceptable because Hermes
ships no Linux desktop builds (desktop-release.yml matrix is mac + win
only, package.json declares no `linux` target), and Linux developers
hacking on the desktop already need a C++ toolchain for the rest of
the stack.
Verified on Windows 11 ARM64 (Snapdragon):
npm install -> exit 0
node -e "require('node-pty').spawn(...)" round-trip -> OK
stage-native-deps -> 27 files, 2.6 MB
load from staged tree (simulates packaged fallback) -> ConPTY
round-trip OK
Adds a VSCode-style "focus terminal" toggle to the right sidebar's Terminal
tab that takes over the chat pane area without unmounting the shell. The
xterm host is mounted once at the layout root and CSS-overlayed onto
whichever <TerminalSlot /> is currently active, so the PTY session,
scrollback, selection, focus, and WebGL renderer survive every toggle.
Also:
- WebGL renderer (matching dashboard ChatPage) so Hermes' TUI skins paint
faithfully instead of muting through xterm's default DOM renderer
- File drag/drop from the project tree or OS into xterm — paths are
shell-quoted (zsh/bash/pwsh/cmd) and written straight into the PTY
- Solarized dark canvas with brights promoted to real accent variants
(Schoonover's UI-gray brights washed out every TUI accent)
- Strip NO_COLOR/FORCE_COLOR/COLORFGBG/TERM=dumb leaking from non-tty
parents (CI runners, Cursor's agent shell) so the embedded shell gets
truecolor regardless of how Electron was launched
- rAF-debounced ResizeObserver — running fit.fit() synchronously during
sibling pane transitions crashed the WebGL texture-atlas rebuild
Converges the Windows packaged desktop installer onto a single canonical
install topology: drop the Electron shell only (~80MB instead of ~500MB),
clone Hermes Agent at a build-time-pinned commit on first launch via
install.ps1's stage protocol, and treat the resulting git checkout at
%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\hermes-agent\ as the canonical install location
(same path the CLI installer uses). Future updates flow through the
existing applyUpdates() git-pull path.
Replaces the previous fat-installer architecture where the .exe bundled
a pre-staged hermes-agent source tree under resources/hermes-agent/ that
was then sync'd into ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT at launch -- a complicated
factory-vs-active dance with several footguns (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT
mismatch on path resolve, isGitCheckout guard regressions, pyproject
hash drift detection inside the sync loop).
Architecture overview
---------------------
Build time
apps/desktop/scripts/write-build-stamp.cjs writes
apps/desktop/build/install-stamp.json with {commit, branch, builtAt,
dirty}. Honours $GITHUB_SHA / $GITHUB_REF_NAME in CI, falls back to
`git rev-parse HEAD` locally.
apps/desktop/scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs copies the runtime subset
of @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch from the workspace-root
node_modules into apps/desktop/build/native-deps/. Workspace dedup
hoists this dep to the root, out of reach of electron-builder's
`files:`-restricted collector; staging gives us a deterministic
path to extraResources.
electron-builder ships both into resources/install-stamp.json and
resources/native-deps/ respectively.
Boot resolver (electron/main.cjs)
Resolver order:
1. HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES_ROOT override
2. SOURCE_REPO_ROOT (dev mode)
3. ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT git checkout WITH .hermes-bootstrap-complete
marker -- the post-install fast path
4. `hermes` on PATH (CLI-installed user adding the desktop)
5. pip-installed hermes_cli via system Python
6. bootstrap-needed sentinel -> hand off to runBootstrap
Deletes the entire FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT / RUNTIME_MARKER /
syncTreeExcludingVenv machinery (-200 lines). The isGitCheckout
guard that bit us in the install.ps1 PR is gone.
First-launch bootstrap (electron/bootstrap-runner.cjs)
1. Resolve install.ps1: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT/scripts (dev), else
download from GitHub raw at INSTALL_STAMP.commit (cached at
HERMES_HOME\bootstrap-cache\install-<sha>.ps1).
2. Fetch the stage manifest via install.ps1 -Manifest -Commit X
-Branch Y.
3. Iterate stages: install.ps1 -Stage <name> -NonInteractive -Json
-Commit X -Branch Y per stage.
4. On all stages green: write the .hermes-bootstrap-complete
marker with {schemaVersion, pinnedCommit, pinnedBranch,
completedAt, desktopVersion}.
Per-run log to HERMES_HOME\logs\bootstrap-<ts>.log. Cancellation
via AbortSignal. Manifest cache so retries don't re-download.
Install overlay (src/components/desktop-install-overlay.tsx)
Mounted alongside the existing onboarding overlay; flexbox card
with header (static) + middle (scrollable) + footer (failure-only,
static). Subscribes to hermes:bootstrap:event IPC + resyncs from
hermes:bootstrap:get on mount/reload. Renders:
- 14-stage checklist with per-stage state icons
- Overall progress bar + current-stage spotlight
- Auto-expanded installer-output panel on failure
- "Copy output" button (full ring buffer + error to clipboard)
- "Reload and retry" wired through hermes:bootstrap:reset to
clear main.cjs's latched failure
Synthetic empty-manifest event from main.cjs flips the overlay to
'active' immediately so the slow install.ps1 download doesn't
leave the user staring at the generic Preparing splash.
Failure latching (main.cjs)
bootstrapFailure module-scope variable holds the rejection after
install.ps1 fails. startHermes() throws the latched error
immediately when set, bypassing the entire ensureRuntime +
runBootstrap chain. Without this, the renderer's ensureGatewayOpen
retries would re-run install.ps1 in a 5-10 min hot loop while the
user was still reading the failure overlay. Cleared via
hermes:bootstrap:reset on user-driven retry.
Unsupported-platform overlay (1F)
macOS / Linux packaged builds (no install.sh stage protocol yet)
emit an unsupported-platform event with a copy-pasteable install
command + docs URL. Dedicated overlay branch with "Copy command"
+ "I've run it -- retry" buttons.
install.ps1 additions (Phase 1F.3 + 1F.5)
-----------------------------------------
New -Commit and -Tag string params. Precedence Commit > Tag >
Branch. Honoured by all three code paths (update / fresh clone /
ZIP fallback), with archive URL selection that handles each
ref-type variant. Detached-HEAD checkouts intentionally -- they're
pins, not branches the user pulls into.
EAP=Continue wrap around the new pin-step git invocations. `git
fetch origin <commit>` writes the routine 'From <url>' info line to
stderr; under the script's global EAP=Stop that terminates the
script even though fetch+checkout succeed. Matches the established
pattern in Install-Uv, Test-Python, _Run-NpmInstall.
Backend fix (hermes_cli/web_server.py)
--------------------------------------
CORS allow_origin_regex now accepts Origin: 'null'. Packaged
Electron loads index.html via file://; Chromium sets the WebSocket
upgrade Origin header to the opaque origin 'null', which the old
regex rejected with HTTP 403 before gateway_ws() ever ran. This
failure mode was masked in the older FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT
architecture because the resolver often found an existing hermes
on PATH with different binding behavior.
Security maintained: localhost-only bind keeps cross-machine pages
out; per-process session token still gates every authenticated
/api/ endpoint regardless of Origin.
Desktop QoL
-----------
DevTools is now enabled in packaged builds (F12 / Cmd+Opt+I).
Field-debugging trade-off: tiny attack surface increase versus
a much better support story when CSP / WS / theme issues surface.
NSIS prereq-check page deleted (-767 lines). The standard
Welcome -> License -> Directory -> InstallFiles -> Finish wizard
now installs without custom Python/Git/ripgrep detection -- those
prereqs are install.ps1's job at first launch.
Test infrastructure (Phase 1G)
------------------------------
apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs rewritten as a cross-platform
bundle validator (was darwin-only and asserted on dead factory-
payload paths):
NEGATIVE: hermes_cli/main.py is NOT shipped (regression guard)
POSITIVE: install-stamp.json carries a real commit + branch
POSITIVE: node-pty native deps shipped under resources/native-deps
POSITIVE: renderer dist/index.html reachable (asar or unpacked)
New nsis mode and npm run test:desktop:nsis script.
Validated end-to-end on clean Win10 VM
--------------------------------------
Confirmed: NSIS installer drops Electron shell, app launches,
install overlay shows progress, install.ps1 clones the pinned
commit, 14 stages run to completion, marker written, backend
spawns, WebSocket connects, onboarding overlay asks for API key,
main UI loads, integrated terminal works.
Failures handled: bootstrap stays failed (no hot-loop retry),
"Copy output" gives actionable transcript, "Reload and retry"
explicitly re-runs install.ps1.
What's deferred
---------------
- MSIX wrapping (Phase 2): same Electron .exe under MSIX manifest
with runFullTrust, signed and submitted to Microsoft Store.
- install.sh stage protocol parity (Phase 2): once shipped, the
unsupported-platform overlay becomes drive-it-yourself and
macOS/Linux packaged installers gain feature parity with Windows.
Replaces `use-stick-to-bottom` and per-row session rendering with
`@tanstack/react-virtual`, matching what Cursor uses.
Chat thread (`thread-virtualizer.tsx`):
- Natural-flow virtualization (padding spacers, not absolute items) so
`position: sticky` on the human bubble still resolves cleanly against
the scroller.
- Custom at-bottom anchor: pins when armed, disarms on user-driven
upward scroll, re-arms at bottom, jumps on session switch +
`thread.runStart`.
- Loading indicator and `--thread-last-message-clearance` move to a
real `[data-slot=aui_composer-clearance]` node; drops the brittle
`:nth-last-child(1 of …)` rule that can't fire reliably under
virtualization.
Sidebar (`virtual-session-list.tsx`):
- Flat agents list virtualizes at >=25 rows; pinned and
workspace-grouped paths stay direct-render.
- `SortableContext` keeps all IDs; only the window mounts; dnd-kit's
`setNodeRef` is merged with `virtualizer.measureElement` so rows
participate in both DnD hit-testing and TanStack measurement.
Drops `use-stick-to-bottom`. Streaming test gets a global
`offsetWidth/offsetHeight` stub so the virtualizer's viewport sizing
works in jsdom; the scroll-up-doesn't-pull-back invariant still passes.
xterm's default ANSI 16 is tuned for dark and reads candy-bright on the
light glass surface (vivid cyans/greens). Ship the canonical Solarized
palette (Schoonover) for both modes — same 16 accents either way, only
fg/cursor swap between `base00/01` (light) and `base0/1` (dark), so a
prompt's colors look uniform across a Shift+X toggle.
Background stays transparent in both modes — Solarized's cream/slate
backgrounds would fight the glass.
- Wire right-click on session rows to open the same actions menu;
suppresses the OS-native context menu so Windows stops looking awful.
- Share dropdown + context menu items via useSessionActions() driving
a single declarative ItemSpec[]; render polymorphic over MenuItem.
- New shadcn ContextMenu primitive mirroring DropdownMenu styling.
- Restore drag-and-drop reordering for Agents (lost during the cwd
cleanup) and add reordering of workspace groups via a right-side
grab handle. Pinned reorder unchanged.
- Generic orderByIds<T> replaces the duplicated session/group orderers;
useSortableBindings() hook collapses the two Sortable wrappers.
- cursor-pointer on every actionable element; cursor-grab on handles.
- KISS pass: baseName() helper, AGE_TICKS table, single WORKSPACE_PAGE
constant, flatter SidebarSessionsSection render.
The right-sidebar terminal hardcoded a light palette, which read poorly
on the dark glass surface. Subscribe to `useTheme().resolvedMode` and
hot-swap `term.options.theme` so Shift+X (and any other mode change)
updates the terminal in place without tearing down the PTY session.
Dark mode uses xterm's built-in defaults (white fg/cursor + vivid ANSI
16) with just a transparent background so the glass shows through;
light mode keeps the existing hand-tuned overrides for legibility on a
bright surface.
- Detect provider failure text arriving via message.complete
(HTTP 4xx, "API call failed after N retries", Provider/Gateway
error: ...) and persist as an inline assistant error instead of
regular completion text, blocking the hydrate that was wiping it.
- preserveLocalAssistantErrors: merge by id so same-id hydrated
messages keep their local error, and preserve the optimistic
user+error pair as a unit (with tail-user dedupe).
- Hook all hydrate/resume writers (use-session-actions resume +
fallback, hydrateFromStoredSession, syncSessionStateToView) into
the merge so stale snapshots can't clobber a failed turn.
- Add error to chatMessagesEquivalent so the resume diff actually
sees error-only changes and paints them.
- editMessage on a failed turn now submits a plain resend (no
truncate_before_user_ordinal) and retries plainly on the
"no longer in session history" race.
Style polish on touched files:
- Inline error: text-only treatment (no card).
- User stop / edit-composer send: shared Tabler IconPlayerStopFilled
glyph + shared icon-button class slot for parity.
Resolve the Command Center import conflict by keeping the Usage panel icon and dropping the unused haptics import from the base branch.

Activity rail and History stub were both noise. Strip the split layout,
sidebar, route enum, and the rail/stub helpers — the overlay is now just
the spawn tree, centered in a max-w-3xl column so it stops claiming the
whole screen for one section's worth of content.
Pull the agents view closer to how chat tool blocks render:
- statusGlyph() returns the same lucide BrailleSpinner / CheckCircle2 /
AlertCircle vocabulary as tool-fallback's statusGlyph
- Stream lines fade-in via useEnterAnimation (one-shot WAAPI), keyed per
entry so streamed deltas settle in instead of popping
- Subagent rows fade in too, and pick up the existing data-slot=tool-block
spacing rules between blocks
- Active stream line trails a BrailleSpinner instead of a hand-rolled
pulsing rectangle
- Goal text drops FadeText (which forces nowrap); keep FadeText only for
the single-line meta subtitle
- Running rows shimmer the title — same affordance the chat thinking row
uses
When a tool returns nothing useful, the row should be silent — the title
("Search Files", etc.) already tells the user what happened. Counting the
fields in an opaque payload is engineer-noise.
`formatToolResultSummary` and `minimalValueSummary` now return '' for
empty arrays / records / unrecognized values; tool-fallback already hides
the detail section when its body is empty.
The pill was getting clipped at the overlay edge anyway. Just use the
status glyph (●/✓/✗/■/○) — the delegation header already conveys
"3 workers, 3 active", and order in the list implies which step you're
looking at.
Lift the keyboard handler into the shared OverlayView so Agents, Settings,
Command Center — and anything we build on top of it later — all dismiss on
Esc by default. Nested Radix dialogs stop propagation themselves, so a
modal opened inside an overlay (e.g. model picker inside Settings) still
closes the modal first, not the overlay underneath.
Drop the now-redundant Esc handlers in Settings (kept Cmd/Ctrl+P) and
Command Center.
Strip the card chrome and rewire /agents to feel like peeking into the
child agent's stream:
- subagents store: single `stream` of typed entries (thinking/tool/progress/
summary) replaces the parallel notes/thinking/tools arrays. Drop unused
fields (toolsets, depth, apiCalls, reasoningTokens, sessionId).
- agents view: no OverlayCards, no boxed stream, no per-row borders. Goal +
status pill + indented stream lines, full row width.
- Group root spawns into "Delegation N" sections when batch shape + spawn
time match — hides task-index interleaving and makes hierarchy obvious.
- Sort tree by spawn time, then task_index. Step indicator is one colored
pill (primary while running, emerald when done) inside the row, not a
trailing pill that wrapped under the chevron.
- Tree picks up `subagent.start` (not only `spawn_requested`) and prunes
delegate-tool fallback rows once native subagent events land for the
session — fixes duplicate "Delegated task" rows alongside the real ones.
Keep Cron and Profiles available through lower-prominence chrome entry points so the workspace sidebar stays focused on core chat navigation.

Surface configured MCP servers in Settings with JSON edit/save and a gateway-backed reload action so users can manage tool servers without falling back to slash commands.
Track live subagent gateway events in a desktop store, show active subagent counts in the Agents statusbar item, and replace the Agents overlay stub with a live spawn tree for the active session.
Press Enter while busy with a draft to queue it; with no draft to interrupt
and send the next queued turn. Auto-drains one queued turn each time the
session settles, same as Cursor. Queue persists across reloads so an
interrupted-and-queued turn isn't lost on refresh.
Each queued row supports edit-in-composer (with explicit Save/Cancel),
send-now (↑), and delete. Drain skips only the entry currently being
edited so the rest of the queue keeps flowing.
Queue dequeue is transactional — an entry only leaves the queue after
`prompt.submit` is accepted, so a rejected submit doesn't drop the turn.
Also shrinks the `[interrupted]` marker to a muted one-liner and drops
its assistant footer so it stops looking like a real reply.
- Add Cron and Profiles sidebar routes with full CRUD-style flows and API wiring.
- Extend Command Center with auxiliary task overrides and a Usage panel (7d/30d/90d).
- Fix titlebar geometry for WSL/Windows (native overlay width, tool spacing).
- Remove stray merge conflict markers from pyproject.toml optional deps.

Two related fixes for Python detection on Windows:
1. py.exe (Python launcher) is missing from per-user installs that
didn't check the launcher option, so 'py -3.X --version' alone
misses real Python installs. User-reported case: clean Win11 +
official Python.org 3.14 install -> 'where py' returned nothing,
our installer offered to install Python again. Both NSIS prereq
page and main.cjs now probe in this order:
1. py.exe launcher (when present)
2. PEP 514 registry: HKLM/HKCU\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\<v>\InstallPath
3. Filesystem: %ProgramFiles%\Python<v>, %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python<v>
Crucially, we never fall back to running 'python.exe' from PATH
on Windows — the WindowsApps stub at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\
WindowsApps\python.exe is a redirector that opens the Microsoft
Store window if no Store Python is installed. Triggering that
during boot would be terrible UX. Registry/filesystem probes
never execute the binary.
2. Drop 3.14 from the supported version set. Several Hermes deps
(notably pywinpty, which carries Rust crates like
windows_x86_64_msvc) don't yet publish 3.14 wheels. With wheels
missing, 'pip install -e .' falls back to building from sdist,
which needs a Rust toolchain — users see 'could not compile
windows_x86_64_msvc build script' on first run. install.ps1
sidesteps this by pinning to 3.11 via uv; the desktop installer
doesn't yet have the same uv-managed-Python pathway, so for now
we accept 3.11/3.12/3.13 and tell winget to install 3.11 if
none of those are present. Revisit when the wheel ecosystem
catches up to 3.14 (~early 2026).
Five distinct bugs surfaced from a math-heavy stress test:
1. Adjacent code fences glued together. scrubBacktickNoise's
second-pass regex /``\s*``/g matched the LAST 2 backticks of
one fence + whitespace + FIRST 2 backticks of the next, collapsing
two blocks into one. Fixed with lookbehind/lookahead so we only
match exactly 2 backticks not part of a longer run.
2. Whitespace eaten between fences and following content.
stripPreviewTargets internally calls .trim() which strips leading/
trailing whitespace from each split-segment. For segments between
two fences this collapsed \n\n to '', gluing fence close to next
block. Fixed by capturing leading/trailing whitespace at the call
site and restoring it after the transform.
3. Currency dollar signs eaten as math. With singleDollarTextMath:true
remark-math greedy-matched any pair of $, so '$5 ... $10' became
one inline math span. Added escapeCurrencyDollars to escape $<digit>
patterns to \$<digit> in prose segments (not in code). Trade-off:
math expressions starting with a digit (rare — '$5x = 10$') get
escaped too. Mirrors the convention in ChatGPT/Claude's UIs.
4. \(...\) and \[...\] LaTeX brackets unsupported. Models often
emit these instead of $...$ / $$...$$. Added
rewriteLatexBracketDelimiters preprocessor pass.
5. ```latex / ```tex blocks were being routed to KaTeX via a
rewrite to ```math. Aligns with GitHub markdown convention:
```math = render as math; ```latex / ```tex = LaTeX/TeX
source code (syntax highlighted, not rendered). Conflating them
broke teaching/showing-source use cases. MATH_FENCE_LANGUAGES
pruned to {'math'} only.
Also flipped parseIncompleteMarkdown to true (was !isStreaming) so
the math parser can't see $ inside streaming-but-not-yet-closed code
fences. Shiki was already deferred via defer={isStreaming} so this
doesn't introduce new tokenization cost.
Test: 18/18 existing tests still pass; one test updated to expect
escaped \$ in currency-prose-with-URL case.
The noise overlay defaulted to on, which adds a busy speckle layer over
the whole window for every new user. Flip the Leva default to off; the
toggle stays in Backdrop / Noise for anyone who wants it back.
katex-memo.ts (added in 112cad59b) imports hast-util-from-html-isomorphic,
hast-util-to-text, remark-math, katex, and unist-util-visit-parents but
those were never added to apps/desktop/package.json. They were silently
resolving via @streamdown/math at the workspace root, which broke the
moment `npm i --prefix apps/desktop` ran with the per-workspace lockfile
because that install only consults apps/desktop/package.json. Add them
as direct deps, plus unified/vfile/@types/hast for the type imports.
Also delete apps/desktop/package-lock.json — root package.json declares
workspaces: ["apps/*"], so npm manages all lockfile state at the root.
The stale per-app lockfile is what made `npm i --prefix apps/desktop`
diverge from the workspace install in the first place and left an empty
apps/desktop/node_modules/@assistant-ui/ stub that Vite's dep optimizer
then tried (and failed) to open at @assistant-ui/core/dist/internal.js.
Wrap rehype-katex with a per-equation LRU cache (keyed by
displayMode + source text) and re-enable math during streaming.
Stock @streamdown/math runs rehype-katex on every markdown commit,
so each new token re-katexes every equation in the message. For
math-heavy responses (an equation derived step-by-step) that's
hundreds of ms of wasted work per token and the streaming UI
chokes. With memoization, each equation pays katex.renderToString
exactly once; subsequent tokens re-walk the tree but hit cache for
unchanged equations.
The wrapper mirrors rehype-katex's semantics exactly: same class
detection (language-math, math-inline, math-display), same
<pre>-walk-up for fenced math blocks, same parent.children.splice
replacement, same SKIP traversal, same strict-then-lenient render
strategy with VFile message reporting.
Cached children are structuredCloned on each splice so downstream
rehype plugins or toJsxRuntime can't mutate the cache.
Add @streamdown/math plugin to the chat markdown renderer.
Inline ($x^2$) and block ($$...$$) math both supported with
singleDollarTextMath enabled. Plugin is gated to non-streaming state
to match the existing pattern for syntax highlighting — math renders
when the message completes, avoiding KaTeX re-render churn during
streaming. KaTeX CSS is imported in styles.css; ~30KB CSS + ~430KB
JS added to the bundle. Smoothness improvements during streaming
deferred to a follow-up.
