## Summary
- add project folder, terminal, and explicit editor actions to the
command palette and native File menus
- replace the Files-row copy button with desktop context actions while
preserving internal file navigation and web/remote copy fallback
- resolve trusted workspace roots through the authenticated local server
and enforce canonical path containment in Electron and Tauri
- use safe platform launch policies, including Windows Open/Edit/Open
With handling and executable rejection on Unix
- localize all new UI actions across supported locales

Closes#570
## Summary
- Restore the primary desktop client's window bounds, zoom, workspace
tabs, active sessions, drafts, bounded attachments, scroll positions,
and panel layout across launches.
- Keep additional Electron and Tauri processes independent: they still
start normally but do not read or write the shared native snapshot.
- Add translated settings to disable startup restoration or clear the
saved state.
## Implementation
- Persist a versioned, bounded snapshot atomically in Electron and
Tauri, preserving unknown future envelopes until an explicit clear.
- Elect one primary process with stale-owner recovery and process
identity checks, then protect renderer access with per-document
capability tokens.
- Flush renderer state before close, quit, reload, and app-owned
navigation with bounded failure handling and fresh token rotation.
- Reconcile partial or timed-out workspace hydration without losing
unsent prompt state or resurrecting explicitly cleared drafts,
attachments, sessions, or tabs.
- Correlate restore-created workspaces so cancellation and delayed SSE
events cannot produce ghost tabs.
- Harden workspace launch cancellation and cross-platform process
cleanup so failed starts cannot orphan detached POSIX, WSL, or Windows
children; incomplete shutdown exits nonzero.
The restored shell state remains local to the desktop client. Durable
semantic session properties continue to use OpenCode session metadata
separately.
## Validation
pm run typecheck --workspace @neuralnomads/codenomad
- Electron native suite: 43 passed
- Tauri suite: 54 passed
- Focused UI restore, reconciliation, attachment, authority, and race
suites passed
- Focused server workspace runtime, manager, process identity, route,
and shutdown suites passed
- pm run build
- pm run build:tauri
- git diff --check
- 16-pass adversarial review loop completed with final No findings
- extensivly optimized, tested and used day by day
## Platform notes
- Native menu reloads and app-owned navigation have awaited durability
guarantees. Browser-engine crashes or forced process termination remain
inherently best effort.
- Process cleanup uses identity-guarded platform adapters and fails
conservatively when target ownership cannot be proven.
## Summary
- Reuses the directory browser for web file attachment selection and
removes the separate filesystem browser dialog.
- Reads web-selected files through the filesystem browser API so
selection respects unrestricted and configured workspace roots.
- Keeps Electron/Tauri picker selection on the FileList ingestion path
so picked files behave like dropped files with byte-backed attachments.

## Summary
- Lock Electron remote BrowserWindow titles to the generated
saved-server title.
- Lock Tauri remote webview document titles through the remote
initialization script so native window titles remain distinguishable.
- Preserve the existing title format that includes the saved server name
and host.
Closes#427
## Validation
- npm run typecheck --workspace @neuralnomads/codenomad-electron-app
- cargo check (packages/tauri-app/src-tauri)
## Summary
- revert the Bun standalone desktop packaging path and restore the
server's original `dist/bin.js` bootstrap flow
- add a managed Node runtime for Electron and Tauri that downloads only
the current platform/arch artifact into `~/.config/codenomad`
- update desktop startup and packaging scripts so packaged apps use the
managed runtime consistently, and clean up Electron's expected
navigation-abort log noise
## Testing
- npm run typecheck --workspace @neuralnomads/codenomad-electron-app
- cargo check
- npm run build --workspace @neuralnomads/codenomad
- npm run build:mac --workspace @neuralnomads/codenomad-electron-app
- launch
`packages/electron-app/release/mac-arm64/CodeNomad.app/Contents/MacOS/CodeNomad`
and verify the packaged server reaches ready with the managed Node
runtime
Prevent idle system sleep on supported desktop runtimes without intentionally keeping the display awake. Narrow wake-lock activation to true active work states and drop the web screen-wake fallback where the platform cannot provide system-sleep-only behavior.
## Summary
- package `packages/server` as a standalone desktop executable so
Electron and Tauri no longer depend on a system-installed Node runtime
in production
- align Electron and Tauri startup logic around launching the packaged
server, resolving binaries from the user shell, and bundling the same
server resources into both desktop apps
- replace the workspace instance proxy path that used
`@fastify/reply-from` with a direct streaming proxy so packaged
standalone builds can talk to spawned `opencode` instances correctly
## Why
Desktop production builds were still depending on a user-provided Node
runtime to launch `packages/server`, which made packaging less
self-contained and created different behavior across machines. While
moving to a standalone server executable, we also found that
Bun-compiled standalone builds could start `opencode` successfully but
failed when proxying requests to those instances through `reply-from`.
The goal of this change is to make desktop production startup
self-contained, keep Electron and Tauri behavior aligned, and restore
correct communication with local `opencode` instances in packaged
builds.
## What Changed
- added a standalone build path for `packages/server` and bundle
`codenomad-server` into desktop resources
- updated Electron production startup to resolve and launch the
standalone server executable
- updated Tauri production startup to resolve and launch the standalone
server executable with matching cwd and shell behavior
- added runtime path helpers so the packaged server can reliably find
its bundled UI, auth templates, config template, and package metadata
- improved bare binary resolution so commands like `opencode` can be
resolved from the user's login shell environment
- upgraded the server stack to newer Fastify-compatible packages needed
for the standalone/runtime work
- replaced the workspace instance proxy implementation with a direct
streaming proxy for requests to spawned `opencode` instances
- updated Electron and Tauri build/prebuild scripts to generate and
package the standalone server, while also repairing missing
platform-specific optional binaries during packaging
## Benefits
- desktop production builds no longer require Node to be installed on
the user's system
- Electron and Tauri now use the same packaged server model in
production, reducing platform drift
- packaged desktop apps can successfully create workspaces, launch
`opencode`, and proxy health/session traffic to those instances
- the server bundle is more self-contained and resilient to different
launch environments
- desktop packaging is more predictable because the required server
executable is built and bundled as part of the app build flow
## Summary
- add a server-backed HTTPS proxy flow for Tauri remote windows so
self-signed remote HTTPS works with the local CLI TLS assets and desktop
auth/cookie handling
- manage remote proxy sessions through `packages/server` with
per-session bootstrap, local-only cleanup, and explicit session
lifecycle handling
- support the Tauri desktop flow across environments, including packaged
Windows builds, `tauri dev`, and updated Linux/macOS handling for the
new local HTTPS proxy path
## Testing
- `npm run build --workspace @neuralnomads/codenomad`
- `cargo check`
- `npm run build --workspace @codenomad/tauri-app`
- Windows smoke test for concurrent remote proxy bootstrap sessions
- Windows manual validation of packaged Tauri remote connection flow
## Notes
- Windows was validated end-to-end.
- Linux and macOS code paths were updated for the new proxy flow, but
runtime validation on those platforms is still pending.

Fixes#326
## Summary
- source the user's bash or zsh rc before launching the bundled CLI from
Tauri
- use `-l -i -c` for zsh so shell-managed Node runtimes are available in
launcher-started sessions
- fixes the reproduced Linux launcher case where the app exits with `CLI
exited early: exit status: 127` while terminal launches work
## Validation
- reproduced the failure with the released Tauri `v0.14.0` Linux binary
- verified the patched binary succeeds under the same launcher-like
environment
- ran `cargo build` on the dev-based PR branch
## Summary
- launch the Electron-managed server with `--unrestricted-root` by
default
- launch the Tauri-managed server with `--unrestricted-root` by default
- stop relying on the server's `process.cwd()` fallback for desktop
filesystem browsing

## Summary
- add SideCar support across the server and UI, including proxied tabs,
picker/settings flows, and websocket-aware proxying
- unify top-level tab handling so workspace instances and SideCars share
the same tab model and navigation flows
- limit SideCars to port-based services only, removing server-managed
process control from the final API and UI

- PR #252 “feat: Enable file editing and saving” by @jchadwick
- PR #256 “feat(ui): add session yolo mode controls” by @pascalandr
- PR #257 “fix(tauri): sync native app version with package releases” by
@pascalandr
- PR #258 “fix(tauri): stop stale UI assets from shadowing desktop
builds” by @pascalandr
- PR #260 “fix(ui): escape raw HTML in user prompt messages” by
@app/codenomadbot
## Highlights
- **Edit and save files directly in CodeNomad**: Update workspace files
in the built-in editor, save them without leaving the app, and get safer
handling for unsaved changes or edit conflicts.
- **More control over session automation**: Turn on per-session YOLO
mode from the Status tab, keep it visible with a clear badge, and let
long-running sessions continue auto-accepting prompts as expected.
- **Better voice conversation options**: Use spoken summary mode for
replies and keep conversation speech settings isolated per client, so
one device’s voice preferences do not unexpectedly affect another.
- **Faster session recovery**: Reload a session transcript from the
sidebar and see when a session is retrying, including live status
feedback.
## What’s Improved
- **Smoother desktop setup**: Desktop builds now bundle the right CLI
resources and handle microphone access more cleanly.
- **More reliable cross-platform desktop behavior**: Windows process
handling and npm invocation are safer, reducing environment-specific
issues.
- **Clearer session status visibility**: Retrying sessions now show more
useful state in the sidebar and header, so it is easier to tell what is
happening.
- **Cleaner in-app feedback**: Long toast messages wrap properly, GitHub
star counts display more cleanly, and message/code rendering behaves
more predictably.
## Fixes
- **Safer prompt rendering**: Raw HTML in user prompts is escaped so
messages display safely instead of being interpreted.
- **More reliable code previews**: Incomplete syntax highlighting
results are no longer cached, which helps prevent broken-looking file
views.
- **Better voice handoff**: Conversation playback stops when voice input
starts, avoiding overlapping speech.
- **More dependable desktop releases**: Native app versions now stay
aligned with package releases, and stale UI assets no longer shadow new
desktop builds.

Make the legacy Electron desktop client generate and pass a per-launch auth cookie name too, so parallel desktop instances stop clobbering each other's localhost session cookie just like the Tauri client.
Add generic /api/storage config/state endpoints with merge-patch, migrate legacy YAML/JSON layout, and update UI/server to read and write owner-scoped settings. Replace config SSE events and drop /api/config routes.
Default to HTTPS with optional loopback HTTP, generate/rotate self-signed certs via node-forge, and surface Local/Remote connection URLs. Update /api/meta schema, UI remote access overlay, and desktop shells to follow the new startup output.
Prevent desktop wrappers from SIGKILLing the CLI during shutdown, which could orphan OpenCode workspace processes. Shut down workspaces earlier/in parallel and increase the quit grace period.
Adds cookie-based login with a bootstrap token flow for desktop apps, secures OpenCode instance traffic with per-instance Basic auth, and updates UI/plugin clients to use credentials.
