Remove obsolete Office markdown editor UI and handoff code now that Markdown lives in the dedicated Editor surface.
Harden the Editor modal so it opens directly into a Markdown draft and rebinds Ace to the visible root when switching surfaces.
Make Browser address Enter navigation explicit and update the canvas setup expectations for the slimmer Office shell.
Expand the dedicated Editor surface with safe rendered preview mode, ACE-backed source editing, browser-style tabs, toolbar/file actions, preview search, and richer Markdown rendering for code blocks, task lists, images, tables, math, local links, and footnotes.
Keep open Markdown files synchronized with the active context and saved tool edits, including live refresh for document_artifact and text_editor results without routing Markdown through Desktop/Office.
Add inline preview-page editing, clickable preview task-list checkboxes, source editor rehydration after preview-mode refreshes, and regression coverage for the new editor wiring and sync behavior.
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.
Make file creation opt-in through document_artifact, move document file cards to final responses, and keep the tool payload as a quiet execution record.
Deduplicate response cards by file identity, refresh open Desktop canvas sessions after saved edits, and harden document_artifact edit input normalization for common append/update shapes.
Update prompts, skills, styles, and regression coverage for response-only file actions and explicit-only canvas opening.
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.
Keep _office focused on document artifacts, Markdown sessions, LibreOffice-compatible file actions, and document persistence. Route binary document editing through explicit Desktop requests instead of cold-opening the live Desktop surface from artifact results.
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.
Reload LibreOffice-backed Writer, Spreadsheet, and Presentation documents after artifact edits by closing and reopening the visible document window instead of relying on a canvas repaint.
Cold-start Office canvas sessions from tool results, guard null document headers during initial render, and avoid terminating rehydrated desktop processes from temporary manager instances.
Unify Markdown and LibreOffice document handling around an active-file header in both canvas and modal views. Move creation into a shared + New menu, place Save beside file actions, and expose Rename/Close File from the document dropdown. Update the README with the refreshed Office and Browser screenshots plus the new Office UI behavior.
Keep Browser modal activation passive when switching from Desktop by reusing existing Browser sessions instead of creating a blank tab on viewer subscribe.
Add a Focus mode control to the Browser modal header matching Desktop's fullscreen/restore behavior.
Cover the passive subscribe path and Browser modal focus button in regression tests.
Keep one Xpra Desktop iframe alive across canvas, modal, and keepalive hosts instead of unloading it during normal UI handoffs. Add intentional shutdown/restart state so explicit shutdown is treated as closed, not crashed.
Add the desktop_shutdown Office API path, backend system-desktop shutdown cleanup, and an XFCE panel Shutdown Desktop launcher that requires a second click before writing the shutdown request marker. Hide unsafe logout, lock, and switch-user affordances and cover the lifecycle with focused tests.
Make the Office canvas mount passive so Xpra starts only when the Desktop surface is opened or an official Office document is created/opened.
Track Desktop host visibility to unload hidden frames, stop monitors, dedupe viewport resize work, and set Xpra offscreen mode according to HTTPS support. Add a near-future note for the tunnel memory footprint.
Show Office desktop startup progress
Display a loading message while the Agent Zero Desktop environment is starting or restarting, so the right-canvas Desktop button gives immediate feedback before Xpra finishes waking up.
Make the embedded Xpra Desktop use the browser cursor as the only visible cursor by suppressing the shadow pointer overlay and pointer-position renderer without blocking pointer input.
Prefer the active Office host iframe when choosing the Desktop frame, then force resize recovery during modal-to-canvas docking so the Xpra desktop, window, and canvas refill the canvas after handoff.
Sync document_artifact results into an already-open Office canvas without auto-opening a closed canvas.
Generate PPTX artifacts through the Office plugin writer so PowerPoint decks open in Impress with visible multi-slide content.
Add focused regression coverage for canvas sync behavior and PPTX slide creation.
Keep Office document artifacts from auto-opening the canvas while adding plugin-owned Download and Open in canvas message actions. Add format-specific skills for Markdown, Word, Excel, and presentation workflows, and clarify the startup-warmed Desktop runtime remains visually opt-in.\n\nCover the Excel method=create path, Markdown-first/no-auto-open policies, response affordance copy, document action buttons, and Desktop bootstrap with focused regressions.
Rework the Office canvas into the Desktop surface, with Markdown editing for text documents and official LibreOffice/Xpra sessions for DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX. The panel now presents Desktop-oriented actions, named header buttons, persistent session tabs, adaptive modal/canvas sizing, and fast client-side Xpra frame fitting during resize.
Stop auto-opening the canvas from document tool results, hide the canvas on mobile-width layouts, and emit resize lifecycle events so embedded desktop surfaces can pause expensive work while the user drags.
Remove the Collabora/WOPI runtime and route stack, including the old status APIs, proxy helpers, bootstrap extensions, and WOPI store tests. Add the Markdown-first document store, LibreOffice status/conversion helpers, LibreOfficeKit session bridge, and reusable Xpra virtual desktop gateway used by the new document runtime.
Update image and self-update bootstrap paths so existing containers can acquire the LibreOffice, XFCE, Xpra, and desktop-control dependencies through the normal install hooks instead of an ad hoc manual install.
Add read/edit support for Office document artifacts, including direct DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX updates with version history preservation. Inject compact active canvas metadata so agents can discover opened files without loading file contents. Move detailed usage guidance into the office-artifacts skill and keep the always-on tool prompt lean to avoid context bloat.
Require explicit artifact, file, canvas, or format cues before turning response text into an Office artifact, while still allowing standalone deliverable-shaped drafts to open in the canvas. Add a same-turn guard so the response affordance does not duplicate documents already created with document_artifact, plus regression coverage for noisy long-document cases.
- Auto-open Office and Browser canvas surfaces from fresh tool results, including history/result messages.
- Preserve Browser target IDs when focusing a canvas session from tool output.
- Convert substantial response-style artifacts into Office documents at runtime, without relying only on prompt compliance.
- Attach Office artifact metadata to the completed response log so the canvas opens without leaving a dangling Processing group.
- Polish Office UX by removing the inactive version-history action, showing only the healthy dot, and improving Collabora blank-load recovery with browser state cleanup.
- Deduplicate auto-open events and ignore stale results.
