Set LibreOffice Writer as the Desktop MIME default for Markdown and plain text while keeping Agent Zero Editor as the secondary Open With association.
Update the Desktop DOX contract and extend the routing regression test to pin the Writer-first association order.
Restore restorable surface modals through the initFw_end extension hook and keep right-canvas state in session storage for normal reloads.
Fix Desktop host visibility after modal cleanup so preserved iframes reattach to real modal or canvas hosts, and remove the duplicate file-browser path icon overlay.
Generalize the Editor storage/session path from Markdown-only to exact-text .md and .txt documents, including open, save, Save As, and rename refresh behavior.
Expose Open in Editor as a visible row action in the File Browser for Editor-owned text files, keep non-Editor surface opens in the overflow menu, and route Desktop text MIME handling through the Editor bridge.

Add comprehensive file-level DOX documentation across the repo and update directory AGENTS.md indexes. Many new `*.py.dox.md` files were added under api, helpers, tools, plugins, extensions, webui, and other dirs to document endpoint purpose, ownership, runtime contracts, work guidance, and verification. Several AGENTS.md files were created or updated (agents profiles, api, docker, extensions, helpers, plugins, skills, webui components, etc.) to list child DOX files and clarify documentation/work guidance. Also add example and bundled profile DOX files (agent0, default, developer, hacker, researcher) and minor updates to helpers/dirty_json.py and its tests. These changes improve on-disk documentation coverage and establish the convention that each direct runtime file should have a matching `*.dox.md` describing its contracts and verification steps.
Stop forcing the bundled Office, Desktop, and Editor plugins on by setting their manifests to always_enabled: false. This restores normal plugin activation controls while preserving explicit manifest intent.
Move the internal Linux Desktop skill toward a structured-first workflow: state/window commands before screenshots, batched desktopctl sequences in one process, and final screenshots only when pixels matter. Normalize internal system Desktop resize requests so narrow portrait canvas sizes do not shrink the real X11 root display and distort screenshots. Keep the live Docker runtime in sync with the changed Desktop files.
Materialize browser, desktop, computer-use, and vision-load screenshots into chat-scoped artifacts so historical image refs survive temporary screenshot pruning.
Keep history serialization free of rescue assumptions, document durable screenshot behavior in tool prompts/skills, and size Xpra canvases from backend-normalized display dimensions to prevent stretched desktop views.
Verified with focused pytest coverage plus live Docker checks for browser screenshot persistence and Xpra canvas dimensions.
Clarify that computer_use_remote is the only host desktop-control path and that linux-desktop only targets the internal Docker/Xpra Desktop. Add host-computer-use retrieval triggers and regression coverage so host-screen queries rank ahead of the Xpra desktop skill while explicit Agent Zero Desktop requests still route to linux-desktop.
Route Markdown files to Editor, txt and Office documents to Desktop, and browser-renderable files to Browser from the file browser action menu. Extend the Desktop/document allowlists for txt files, keep unsupported small files on the legacy editor path, and harden tooltip cleanup for dropdown-triggered modal closes.
Add a shared grouped action rail for Browser, Desktop, and Editor floating surface modals so modality switches, canvas docking, focus mode, New, and close controls appear in a consistent order with separators. Fix the Desktop focus button class collision that hid the canvas docking button, and align dock button labels with canvas terminology.
- rename document_artifact to office_artifact and remove retired shims/facades
- make text_editor own Markdown saves, canvas-open intent, refresh, and stale-save protection
- keep Office artifacts Desktop-only with Office formats and update skills/tests
Route in-process Xpra/Desktop screenshot observations through context-scoped ephemeral image refs with vision_load payloads, matching the privacy posture of computer-use and browser screenshots. Keep desktopctl shell observations path-based with aggressive pruning so image payloads are not printed into shell logs, and preserve explicit screenshot paths as durable user-owned artifacts.
Add user-configurable timezone and 12/24-hour preferences, then wire them through settings, runtime snapshots, scheduler payloads, wait handling, notifications, backups, memory, plugin metadata, and frontend formatters.
Keep UTC as the boundary for absolute instants while serializing user-facing dates in the configured or browser-resolved timezone. Preserve scheduler wall-clock inputs in the selected timezone, propagate TZ into desktop/runtime process environments, and restart active desktop sessions when the runtime timezone changes.
Cover the risky paths with timezone regression tests for settings normalization, auto and fixed timezone resolution, scheduler round-trips, memory timestamp conversion, and desktop timezone sync.
Add a builtin _editor plugin that owns Markdown API/WebSocket sessions, canvas and modal UI, live refresh, tabs, prompt Extras for active-context open files, inline close confirmation, and Close All handling.
Route Markdown document artifacts to Editor while keeping Office/Desktop focused on LibreOffice formats, and update Desktop/Office prompts, menus, compatibility shims, and regression coverage.
Migrate retired /usr/_office and /usr/_desktop trees from plugin startup into /usr/plugins/<plugin>. Update office document storage, desktop session/runtime paths, and context-scoped screenshots to use the plugin-owned state layout. Add focused tests for retired-state migration and the new path behavior.
Allow the Linux Desktop state collector to report a healthy canvas when XFCE has no active application window, as long as the display, visible windows, and screenshots are available.
Document the readiness rule in the linux-desktop skill and add regression coverage for the bare-desktop active_window=null case.
Stop and remove the old a0_office_collabora supervisor program during Docker self-update preparation, before stale Collabora runtime paths are deleted. Add a narrow repo-side retirement hook so older bootstrap managers can clean the checked-out runtime without reinstalling desktop packages during health checks.
Harden XFCE desktop startup with explicit XDG config/data directories so upgraded Desktop sessions avoid the failsafe-session path after the Collabora-to-LibreOffice transition.
Attach the Browser canvas to active Docker sessions by returning an initial snapshot on subscribe and preserving valid frames through state-only updates. Route Markdown document opens through the right-canvas Desktop editor instead of the legacy office modal. Skip automatic office document response affordances for subordinate agents so delegated reviews keep their actual content.
Track active Desktop runtime preparation in the _desktop hook, expose installing status through Desktop session status, and have the Desktop frontend poll with a neutral install message instead of showing missing dependencies while packages are still being installed after an update.
Run Office and Desktop apt operations through a shared in-process retry guard so startup/self-update hooks wait out transient apt locks instead of failing early. Include LibreOffice runtime packages in Desktop preparation because Desktop status and Writer/Calc/Impress launch paths require soffice, and cover both behaviors with regression tests.
Add the built-in _desktop plugin as the owner of Xpra/Xfce lifecycle, /desktop route installation, Desktop state, session APIs, surface registration, and the linux-desktop skill. Leave _office with explicit compatibility facades and self-update delegates so users coming from 1.10 through 1.13 keep their runtime cleanup path.
