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.
Use /a0/tmp/playwright as the Browser plugin Chromium cache and Docker install target while preserving full Chromium installs.
Add startup migration cleanup for retired usr Playwright caches, update Browser status/runtime references and docs, and cover migration behavior with focused regressions.
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.
Refine the Linux Desktop skill so agents distinguish shell prompts from target CLI prompts before sending natural-language input.
Use a generic nested CLI-agent launch pattern with TARGET_CLI and optional FALLBACK_CMD instead of Codex-specific instructions, and add canvas setup assertions to keep the guidance generic.
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.
Remove the fixed right-canvas width limits so the panel can shrink to zero and grow across the available workspace.
Add Browser/Desktop surface-switch buttons to modal headers using the same registered surface metadata as the canvas controls, while preserving modal-mode preference and dock-to-canvas behavior.
Add regression coverage for the unlimited canvas sizing and modal surface switcher controls.
Add a desktop_state helper, expanded desktopctl observe-act-verify commands, backend desktop_state support, Extra prompt state, and Xpra bridge diagnostics for the built-in Linux Desktop.
Update the Linux Desktop skill so agents prefer structured/app-native/keyboard workflows, treat coordinate clicks as last resort, and verify terminal or CLI-agent work with fresh final screenshots. Cover the behavior with focused Office desktop state, canvas setup, and office_session tests.
Promote LibreOffice-native ODT, ODS, and ODP as first-class defaults for Writer, Spreadsheet, and Presentation while keeping OOXML as explicit compatibility formats.
Add ODF package generation, validation, read/edit support, and focused tests for Markdown, ODT, ODS, ODP, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX artifact behavior.
Reduce automatic document response triggering so meta-discussions about generated files do not create artifacts, while explicit file and canvas requests still work through the intended Markdown editor or Desktop affordance.
Preserve the native A0 browser launcher, sync the live container, and validate the flow with real chats and Playwright.
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.
Route Office canvas renames through the document store so dirty or missing-on-disk Markdown sessions can be materialized at the new path without hitting the generic workdir filesystem rename endpoint. Add regression coverage for missing draft materialization, dirty markdown rename, and the custom rename hook contract.
Add local XDG overrides for the xfce4-mail-reader.desktop and xfce4-web-browser.desktop application IDs shipped by the current desktop runtime, while keeping the older exo-* IDs covered for compatibility. Update the desktop profile tests so future changes assert both generations of launcher IDs.
Show hidden files by default in Thunar-backed Desktop sessions while preserving existing file manager profile settings.
Hide the default Xfce Mail Reader and Web Browser helper entries from the Applications menu through local XDG overrides, and cover the generated Desktop profile artifacts with targeted tests.
Add a pencil action beside Save that reuses the existing file browser rename modal for open Office documents. Preserve document metadata after filesystem renames, retarget active LibreOffice desktop sessions to the new path, and cover the rename flow in Office regression tests.
Route DOCX, spreadsheets, and presentations exclusively through the Xpra desktop LibreOffice session. Keep the custom canvas path focused on Markdown source editing, remove the old dashboard/preview/native LibreOfficeKit code, and update tests and runtime package declarations to match the new Office surface.
Route binary Office documents through the persistent Desktop surface while keeping Markdown in the custom tabbed editor.
Harden Xpra clipboard bridging and explicit clipboard flags so host paste can reach the desktop session.
Align XFCE and LibreOffice profile paths with Agent Zero locations: downloads for wallpapers, configured workdir for default saves and the Workdir shortcut, and trusted metadata for generated launchers.
Make the Desktop iframe explicitly focusable and re-arm Xpra keyboard capture on load and click so typed input reaches the remote session reliably.\n\nAdd regression assertions for the Xpra keyboard bridge contract.
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.
Add an explicit close button to the right canvas toolbar, next to the undock control, and cover its label, handler, and ordering in the canvas regression test.
Treat document_artifact tool_args.method as an action alias so calls like method=create with format=xlsx create workbooks instead of falling back to LibreOffice status. Add regression coverage for the exact XLSX creation shape.
Make Markdown the first-class document workflow in the office skills and state the Desktop/LibreOffice path as opt-in for GUI or binary Office work.
Remove passive Browser canvas auto-opening from tool results; Browser result handling now only syncs an already-open Browser canvas, while explicit user buttons can still open the canvas or modal. Add regression coverage for the no-auto-open policy and Markdown-first skill guidance.
Make Desktop canvas and modal handoffs resize the live Xpra viewport deterministically by syncing the visible frame, making backend resize requests authoritative, unloading hidden iframe clients, and guarding Xpra HTML menu callbacks when the menu is disabled. Also forwards wheel events from the embedded Xpra canvas so mouse and trackpad scrolling reach the Linux desktop session.
Add a linux-desktop skill that teaches Agent Zero how to operate the persistent XFCE/Xpra desktop through desktopctl.sh, including app launch, focus, click, typing, and stable folder entry points for Workdir, Projects, Skills, Agents, and Downloads.
Add a Calc cell-edit helper that opens a workbook through the visible LibreOffice Calc desktop session, updates a requested sheet cell, saves, and verifies the XLSX on disk. Expand the Office canvas setup tests to cover Desktop branding, Xpra package requirements, resize behavior, mobile canvas gating, and the new skill helpers.
Replace the raw Collabora setup log with a simple Office setup progress state, redesign the Office dashboard around document cards with lightweight previews, and keep backend WOPI sessions aligned with visible Office tabs. Also preserve the restored Office canvas surface across window refreshes and add regression coverage for the new behavior.
