main is 87 commits ahead and carries a large amount of fixed behaviour this
branch should not be re-deciding. The rule applied throughout: this worktree
owns Computer Use, main owns everything else.
Only 12 files were touched on both sides, and Git merged all of them without
reporting a conflict — but two of those silent merges were wrong, and neither
was visible until the checks ran.
`desktop/src/api/client.ts` ended up with two `apiGetBlob` implementations.
Both sides had independently hit the same problem (an `<img src>` pointed at an
API endpoint is a cross-origin subresource, so it carries no Authorization
header and the server's fetch-metadata policy refuses it) and both had written
the same fix. Git saw two additions in different places and kept both, which
does not even compile. main's version survives: it builds its headers through
the shared `buildHeaders()` rather than assembling them inline, so it inherits
whatever main adds there later.
`src/server/api/computer-use.ts` still imported `runtime/mac_helper.py` and
`runtime/requirements.txt` as compile-time text, both deleted on this branch.
Nothing at runtime referenced them, which is why the deletion looked clean; the
bundler resolves those imports when the server module is loaded, so the failure
surfaced only when the tests actually imported it. That path is now Windows-only
in the same sense the rest of the Python bridge is, and it also ships
`win_cursor_badge.py`, which the badge needs because it runs as its own process.
`computer-use-requirements.test.ts` drops its darwin half for the same reason —
the pins it guards still matter, but only one requirements file is left.
Verified: server 3869 tests / 331 files, desktop 4612 tests / 319 files
(lint + tsc + build), Swift 272 XCTest + 14 Swift Testing, Python 25.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015j1yxxaoonyAS2iZ7qGnTS
The instruction files told every coding agent to reach for agent-browser
whenever a change needed browser-level evidence: copilot-instructions
listed "E2E or agent-browser smoke" as the remedy for cross-boundary
flows, and both contributing guides repeated it. That wording outlived
the tool. With the agent-browser skill uninstalled, agents still parsed
those lines as a recommendation and went looking for the binary instead
of using the browser skill that is actually installed.
Deleting the references would have made the docs wrong. agent-browser is
still a real dependency: check:desktop-ui-smoke spawns it on Linux CI,
and seven maintainer-run e2e scripts under desktop/scripts drive it
directly. It cannot be swapped for ego-browser either — ego lite is a
macOS-only GUI app with no headless mode and a one-time interactive
onboarding, so it cannot run on ubuntu-latest at all.
So the lanes keep the binary and the prose loses the recommendation.
agent-browser is now described as an implementation detail of those two
call sites, and ad-hoc browser work — manual verification, screenshots,
exploratory UI checks — is pointed at the ego-browser skill.
The quality contract asserted the old string, so it would have failed
closed on the reworded line. It now pins the replacement plus the new
routing rule; flipping either sentence turns the test red.
Two things, in one commit because both touch `src/server/api/computer-use.ts`
and the halves cannot be split without rewriting the file twice.
## The regression
`desktop/package.json` had lost `"claude-sidecar-[^/]+$"` from `mac.signIgnore`.
That entry is not a hardening nicety — it is load-bearing for attestation:
1. `build-sidecars.ts` signs the sidecar with an explicit
`--identifier com.claude-code-haha.desktop.sidecar`
2. `ClientAttestation.swift` compares that identifier EXACTLY in
`validDesktopChain`
3. without the exclusion, electron-builder re-signs the sidecar and drops the
flag, so codesign derives the identifier from the file name
(`claude-sidecar-aarch64-apple-darwin`), which never matches
Measured on the shipped 0.5.3 build: host and helper identifiers were correct,
the sidecar's was not. `validDesktopChain` backs BOTH `authorizeOneShot` and
`authorizeDaemon`, so this was not merely a broken permission probe — every
Computer Use call in that build failed closed with `unauthorized_client`.
The existing guard was a literal `toEqual` on the whole signIgnore array, which
does not survive an edit that changes the array and the expectation together —
exactly how the entry was lost. The replacement asserts the behaviour instead:
real sidecar file names must match some exclusion pattern, and the identifier
constants in `sign-identity.ts` and `ClientAttestation.swift` must agree.
`checkCuHelperPermissions` swallowed the failure into nulls, which the settings
page renders as a permanent "checking…" — indistinguishable from a probe still
in flight, and the only symptom this bug ever produced. It now records an
error-level diagnostic: the helper binary is present, so the user did nothing
wrong and the check still did not complete.
## App icons
Rows in the picker and the authorized list showed a letter tile. They now show
the application's own icon, resolved the way Finder does it: `CFBundleIconFile`
from Info.plist, the `.icns` under `Contents/Resources`, rasterised with `sips`.
`openTargetService` already does this, but its resolver is keyed on a
`TargetDefinition` and cannot answer for an arbitrary installed app, so the
path-only half lives in `macAppIcon.ts` and that service is left alone.
The endpoint takes a bundle id and resolves the path itself. There is
deliberately no parameter that names a file — it rasterises and returns bytes,
so its input surface is a security property, and a test drives paths at it.
Enumeration is shared across concurrent lookups: opening the picker fires one
icon request per visible row while the cache is still cold, and a plain
check-then-fill cache would walk every application root once per row.
macOS only, matching where this engine exists. The Windows list renders no icon
slot at all, and Linux is not a supported Computer Use platform.
## Verification
- 208 installed applications on the dev machine: 204 icons resolved; the 4
misses are background bundles (Adobe sync extension, a URL handler, an
updater, a token host) that ship no icon and correctly fall back
- check:server 3345 pass, desktop 4101 pass, check:policy 243 pass, lint clean
(the 2 failures in each suite are `*.golden.test.ts`, pre-existing on main)
- mutation-checked that the new guards actually fail: removing the signIgnore
entry, dropping the icon `onError` fallback, and breaking the in-flight share
each turn a test red
Rebuilt against main so the branch carries the Computer Use work and no other
divergence. Three unrelated efforts had been sitting uncommitted in this
worktree and were swept into an earlier commit; they are preserved on
cu-worktree-full-backup and belong on their own branches — adapter control
credentials, Electron asar sealing, and the sidecar code-loading audit. Every
file outside Computer Use now matches main exactly.
The engine
A Swift helper drives apps through the accessibility tree, with coordinate
actuation for the Chromium and Electron apps whose tree is a bare window
frame. Ten primitives matching the shape Codex uses, so an app's guidance and
the model's habits transfer.
Coordinate actions resolve their target window once and refuse when none can
be named. The unbound event they used to fall back to is discarded by custom
renderers, so a minimized target produced a whole session of "Action
completed" with nothing behind it.
Input acceptance is established for typing and key presses as well as clicks:
each MCP call is seconds apart, so the keyboard cannot inherit the focus a
click established. The synthetic focus notification is gated on the target
not already being active — sent unconditionally it names window 0 at an app
that already owns a key window, and nine window-bound clicks were discarded
with the traffic lights fully lit.
State the model can trust
An off-screen target says so, and says which tools still reach it: element
actions need no on-screen geometry, so an app with a real tree can still be
driven from the Dock. A fully covered window is recovered once, then left
alone — burying it again is the user wanting their screen back. A repeated
capture is reported with the cause that actually applies rather than both,
because coverage is something we compute.
Signing
The helper is signed under a stable identity before electron-builder sees it,
and excluded from re-signing: macOS ties Accessibility and Screen Recording
grants to the signing identity, so rotating it drops both on every update.
Discoverability
The desktop slash menu falls back to a directory scan while a session's CLI
has not started, which is when the menu is first opened. Built-ins and
bundled skills live in the binary, so /computer-use was absent until after
the first message.
The check landed scoped to src/server/ws because blanking desynced on 6 of
2149 files and a desync reports a live import as dead. All four causes are
fixed, so the scope is now every source root no compiler checks — src,
scripts and adapters — and 0 of 2541 files desync.
The bugs, each with a regression test that places the import's only
reference after the construct so a desync makes it go dead:
- The token before a slash was read back out of the raw source, so the last
word of a preceding comment decided whether `/` opened a regex. In
useIssueFlagBanner.ts `// …correction tone` made the next line's regex lex
as a division, and its apostrophe opened a string that ate the line. A
comment is whitespace to the grammar; it now contributes nothing.
- That token accumulated across whitespace, so `return false` became one
token named `returnfalse` and the following `return /re/` no longer looked
like a keyword. This is what broke markdownImages.ts and dead-imports.ts
itself.
- `input! / 10` divides but `!/re/.test(x)` negates, and both put `!` before
the slash. What precedes the `!` settles it.
- Character classes and quotes inside regular expressions, fixed earlier.
desktop/ stays out of scope: its tsconfig already sets noUnusedLocals, and
scanning it anyway finds nothing — the cross-check that this agrees with a
real compiler. `blankingIsSound` still refuses to analyse a file whose
blanked form no longer parses, so a future desync is reported, not acted on.
Routing follows the scope: policyPrefixes now names adapters/, scripts/ and
src/ instead of the three scripts/ subdirectories and src/server/ws/. The
check reads these files rather than importing them, so the import graph
cannot select the lane on its own. `does not widen docs, policy, or coverage
lanes` split in two — its fixture selects the policy lane through its own
files now, so the dependent-must-not-widen invariant moved to a desktop
fixture that still shows it.
Verified by mutation, each reverted from an explicit backup: planting
`plantedProbeSymbol` into one file per root reported all four and failed
check:policy; reverting each of the three lexer fixes failed exactly its own
regression test; removing 'src/' from policyPrefixes failed the routing test
and made change-policy report policy=false for a src-only diff.
check:policy is 223 pass / 0 fail in 8.6s, up from 2s — the scan is 3.8s
over 2150 files and the planted-import test covers every one of them.
Nothing checked src/ for unreferenced imports. desktop/tsconfig.json sets
noUnusedLocals and eslint covers desktop/ only; the root tsconfig.json sets
no such option and nothing installs typescript or bun-types at the root, so
no tool reads it at all. Splitting handler.ts left nine imports whose
symbols had moved out, and a human found them by reading the diff.
Measured before choosing. Under a temporary tsconfig extending the root
one, tsc reports 3225 errors over src/ and scripts/ before noUnusedLocals
and 3871 after — 646 net, on a baseline that already fails. That option
would land disabled, so this adds a narrow check instead: imports only,
one directory.
The analysis is lexical like module-graph.ts, but it blanks comments and
literal text first, so a symbol kept alive only by a comment still reports
dead — the exact shape the handler.ts split left behind. Template
substitutions, `//` inside a URL string and quotes inside a regex literal
must survive that blanking or a live import reads as dead;
src/utils/terminalShellEnvironment.ts is the last one and mis-lexing it
blanked 130 lines. Where blanking desyncs anyway the result no longer
parses, so the file is reported as degraded rather than mis-analysed: 6 of
2149 files repo-wide, none under src/server/ws.
src/server/ws/ also joins policyPrefixes. The check reads its files rather
than importing them, so the import graph cannot route a ws-only diff to
this lane, and without the prefix the check would never run on the diffs it
was written for.
Verified by mutation, each reverted from an explicit backup:
- planted `import { randomUUID }` into src/server/ws/events.ts →
check:policy 216 pass / 1 fail, reporting
"src/server/ws/events.ts:1 randomUUID"
- disabled line-comment blanking → 1 fail; block-comment blanking → 2 fail;
regex-literal detection → 2 fail (the extra one is the desync guard)
- pointed DEAD_IMPORT_ROOTS at a missing directory → 1 fail, so the check
cannot silently scan nothing
- dropped src/server/ws/ from policyPrefixes → 1 fail, and change-policy
reports policy=false for a ws-only diff
check:policy is 219 pass / 0 fail; src/server/__tests__/websocket-handler
.test.ts is 87 pass / 0 fail.
4f9fec876 added this workflow with `cron: '0 18 * * *'`. That was the wrong call
to make unilaterally: the repository had no scheduled workflow at all before it,
so this was not one more cron among several but the introduction of recurring CI
spend — about ninety minutes per run — on a schedule nobody asked for.
The reasoning for the sweep still holds: a per-PR gate only covers what the diff
reaches, so it is blind to checks no recent PR selected and to failures that only
appear when the whole suite runs together. Keeping the workflow on
`workflow_dispatch` keeps that one click away without deciding for the maintainer
when to spend the time.
pr-quality-workflow.test.ts now asserts the absence of `schedule:` and `cron:`
rather than their presence, so a schedule cannot drift back in unnoticed —
verified by adding the cron back and watching the test go red. The docs' four-tier
table renames the tier accordingly; calling it "Nightly" when nothing runs nightly
is exactly the kind of comment that outlives its code.
Two additions to the provider settings page, both modelled on cc-switch.
One-click import from cc-switch:
- Reads the local cc-switch installation and offers its Claude Code
providers for bulk import. SQLite (cc-switch v3.8.0+) is the primary
store, with the legacy v2 config.json as a fallback used only when no
database exists — once cc-switch migrates it archives that file, so
reading it alongside a database would surface pre-migration data.
- Supports cc-switch v3.1.0 and newer. Older installs wrote a config
format cc-switch itself dropped in v3.6.0; those are refused explicitly
rather than reported as an empty scan.
- Degrades honestly when cc-switch's storage moves: a structure we cannot
read reports why, distinguishing "cc-switch too old" from "cc-haha does
not recognise this layout" from "the file could not be read at all".
Only id/app_type/settings_config are required; other columns are
optional and unknown ones are ignored.
- Full credentials are resolved server-side during import and never
appear in the scan payload.
Fetch model lists:
- Probes the provider's Base URL for an OpenAI-compatible /models
endpoint, walking cc-switch's candidate ladder (version segments and
nine vendor compat suffixes) and falling through on 404/405.
- Only http(s) endpoints are fetched; a 2xx that carries no model list is
reported as a failure with the upstream's own message rather than as an
empty catalog, so a key rejected behind a 200 is not read as "this
provider has no models".
The English README becomes README.md so the GitHub landing page reads in
English; the Chinese one moves to README.zh-CN.md. Both cross-link at the
top. Drops the source-origin framing from the intro and removes the
Disclaimer section, and points the license badge at MIT.
change-policy and pr-triage hardcoded README.en.md, which would have
dropped README.zh-CN.md out of the docs lane.
The site had drifted from the product. Every screenshot predated the
v0.5.0 UI redesign, the reading experience shipped no search and no
syntax highlighting, and a third of the pages were internal process
artefacts — migration task lists addressed to agentic workers, a
release runbook, a proposal marked "historical".
Reorganise around the only two people who read this: someone getting
the desktop app running for the first time, and someone reading the
source. Five sections replace nine — start / desktop / im / cli /
internals — and the pages that served neither reader are gone.
Site rewrite:
- Palette lifted from the desktop app's 「纸·墨·印」 themes, so the
site and the product read as one thing. Light mirrors 纯白, dark
mirrors 墨夜, and dark mode exists at all now.
- Fonts are self-hosted. The old @import from Google Fonts is
unreachable from mainland China, which left every heading in a
fallback serif; it also only requested weight 600 while the CSS
asked for 900, so Latin and CJK in the same heading disagreed.
- Docs were shipped as one 968KB manifest downloaded on every page
view. Split into a 32KB index plus one lazily imported chunk per
page; the entry bundle is now 101KB gzipped.
- Add search, syntax highlighting, per-route meta with canonical and
hreflang, a sitemap, and an error boundary. Replace the 44vh
mobile sidebar with a drawer.
- Image dimensions are read at build time and written into the tag,
so lazy images reserve their space instead of collapsing.
Screenshots are recaptured from a real v0.5.0 build against a clean
demo project, with tokens, QR codes and paired accounts redacted.
The previous set is deleted rather than kept alongside.
Routes follow file paths, so the restructure would have broken every
inbound link; 37 old paths redirect, in both languages. The PR policy
gate and CODEOWNERS also hardcoded docs/guide/contributing.md.
Verified: check:docs 78 pages / 323 links / 0 problems, check:policy
127 pass. Walked every route at 1440 and 390 in both themes for
overflow, contrast, keyboard reachability and focus management.
