SideChat transcript: every 2s poll rebuilt ALL row objects, so every
row (markdown parse + DOMPurify included) re-rendered even when the
log had not changed. transcriptRows now takes the previous poll's
rows and re-adopts the position-aligned rows whose content is
identical (reuseRows) — only the changed tail rebuilds. The view
feeds the memoized array back through a ref; unit tests pin the
identity contract (unchanged rows keep object identity, changed rows
and everything past the change rebuild, tool-result landings never
re-adopt).
FileTree: expanded/revealed membership was an includes() scan per
rendered row (O(rows × expanded) per render on deep trees); one Set
per render keeps it O(1) per row.
Shell: buildNewTabOptions was inlined in the two Workbench JSX
sites — two fresh arrays per render (drag state, resizes) re-rendered
every LeafView's + affordance. One shared memo now.
DiffPane resize / TerminalView ResizeObserver: pointer and resize
streams fired a setState / glyph-measuring fit() per event; both ride
per-frame batching now (frame-batcher in the core, a local rAF gate
in the lazy terminal chunk). SessionLens sizes each row's content
with a Blob (a UTF-8 encode of the whole edit) — that moved from
per-row-per-render into one memoized pass per changed fold.
Switching from session A to B unmounted A's TerminalView, whose socket
close the host treated as a transient drop and started the 30s reconnect-
grace countdown — leaving the user in B for >30s killed A's shell, so
switching back respawned a fresh one instead of reattaching.
Add a third control frame {type:'park'} distinct from refresh/crash
drops: the client sends it on unmount when the tab is still open in its
session's state but the active session has moved on; the host marks the
pty as parked and skips the grace countdown. Switching back (open()
cancels the parked state) or explicitly closing the tab (close frame's
scheduleClose clears it) resume the normal lifecycle. Agent terminals
skip park — their lifetime is already indefinite on a bare drop.
- state: side-store per conversation, injected as a prop instead of a module singleton
- host: schemastery Config (read/media/list/terminal limits) resolved from cordis config
- shape: types/exports/peerDependencies for the web profile + plugin-shape spec
- fix: split divider emits incremental deltas so drags track the cursor 1:1
- docs: README refresh
The app resolves light/dark from prefers-color-scheme and the user's
choice (body[data-ds-dark-theme]), but xterm and CodeMirror were pinned to
hardcoded dark themes — a light-mode user got a dark card inside a light
panel. New theme.ts reads the resolved scheme + token values and notifies
on flips (the presenter toggles the body attribute); the terminal now takes
its surface colors from the tokens and a curated one-dark/one-light ANSI
palette, and the editor gets a token-driven surface with the same curated
syntax palettes. Both re-theme in place on a scheme flip: the terminal
re-applies its theme, the editor reconfigures a Compartment holding only
the scheme-dependent extensions, so the document, undo history and scroll
survive. one-dark is dropped (superseded by the curated highlight style).
The close frame was sent on every unmount, so switching conversations (or
refreshing) killed the shell even though the tab was still open; coming
back spawned a fresh terminal. Now the unmount close frame only fires when
the tab is truly gone (checked against the per-session store state), so a
bare unmount hands the process to the host's reconnect grace and the next
connect reattaches the SAME shell with its transcript. Closing a tab
releases the quota immediately: the socket-open path keeps the close
frame, and a new pty.close API covers the socket-down (reconnect loop)
case that previously left a 30s zombie holding the quota.
The host also records the spawn cwd and respawns when a reconnect carries
a different authoritative cwd — the page-load hydrate race can attach the
real session cwd after the first connect fell back to the process cwd, and
a shell in the wrong directory must not linger.
The served bundle's wsUrl is provably correct, yet one report showed
ws://host/ws//host/sidebar/ws/terminal (a /ws/ prefix no version ever
emitted). Mirror the app's own downlink construction (new URL(path,
location.origin) + protocol swap — the construction the chat's working
event streams use), and surface the exact attempted URL in the failure
banner plus a console.error, so a recurrence identifies the source
(stale page vs environment rewrite) immediately.
- cwd resolution falls back (attached header → client summary cwd → process
cwd) across the JSON API, media route and terminal upgrade, so explorer/
git/terminal work from first paint instead of 'session ... has no working
directory' while the web client hydrates the session (refresh-only fix).
- terminal client threads the summary cwd into the WS URL and stops the
reconnect loop after three unreasoned failures, showing the close code
with a manual retry; a 1011+reason refusal already showed the reason.
- white screen: persisted state is structurally sanitized on load (malformed
shapes fall back to default) and the restored width is clamped to the
viewport; the layout margin is capped at the viewport; the client entry
wraps every lifecycle step in try/catch and pins a visible diagnostic bar
on load/mount/interception failure instead of failing silently.
- editor: textarea replaced with CodeMirror 6 — line wrapping, per-extension
syntax highlighting (js/ts/jsx/tsx, json, python, html, css, xml, yaml,
sql, java, c/c++, rust, go, php, shell, toml, nginx, dockerfile,
properties), one-dark theme, dirty dot + Ctrl/Cmd+S save kept.
- tests: +9 (cwd fallback chain over the API route, state sanitization,
language mapping); 36 pass, typecheck + build + vm materialize clean.
- Terminals were never destroyed when their tab closed (socket drop only
detached listeners), so the per-session quota (3) filled up and new
terminals failed to mount with 'terminal limit reached'. Now the client
sends a {type:'close'} control frame on tab teardown and the host releases
the pty immediately; a bare socket drop (refresh/switch) keeps the process
for a 30s grace period, and a reconnect within it cancels the pending
close. open() also respawns a process whose shell already exited instead
of reusing a dead handle (input sink).
- The sidebar portal renders inside an error boundary: a render failure now
shows a dismissible error strip with the message (console.error with the
component stack) instead of a silent blank panel.
- Tests: +2 real-pty smoke specs (close releases quota + respawn after
exit; reconnect cancels pending close).
- Root cause of the endless 'disconnected, reconnecting' banner: pnpm
strips the executable bit from node-pty's prebuilt spawn-helper, so every
spawn failed with posix_spawnp failed and the client retried forever.
ensureSpawnHelper() restores 0755 at plugin activation (mirrors
dsh-pty-local's postinstall; works for link installs too). Verified
against the live GUI: terminal now connects and echoes.
- TerminalView stops auto-reconnecting on a server refusal (close 1011 with
a reason): shows the reason plus a manual retry instead of spinning.
- defaultShell() also guards an empty SHELL.
- New sessions open at half the viewport width; width clamping now allows
filling the window, and a header fullscreen button expands the sidebar to
the full viewport (toggle restores half).
- Middle-click on a tab closes it (auxclick button 1, autoscroll
suppressed).
- Tests: +2 (shell fallback, spawn-helper exec bit idempotent).
Host half (src/index.ts): /sidebar/api JSON API (session cwd, fs tree/read/
write, git status/diff/stage/commit/branch/log/show), /sidebar/file media
route, /sidebar/ws/terminal WebSocket over node-pty; routes share the /api
trust fence (Host-header loopback or connection.trustedHosts).
Client half (src/client): portal-mounted right panel with a per-session
split-pane workbench (recursive row/col splits, draggable dividers, tab
drag-move), tab bar with max-width 160px + plus-menu (explorer/git/terminal
multi-open rules), lazy file explorer rooted at the session cwd, editable
text editor (dirty dot, Ctrl/Cmd+S), image + Markdown preview, xterm
terminal with reconnect, and a VSCode-style git panel. Per-session state
persists to localStorage (dsh-sidebar:v1:<sessionId>). Intercepts the chat
turn-tail produced-files row (priority -1 chain entry) to open files in the
sidebar. UI styled with the dsh --dsw-* theme tokens and ui-primitives.
Build: tsdown emits the host lib plus the __ModuleLoader__ client bundle
(externals = module table words; xterm/css inlined). Tests: 19 unit + smoke
specs (pure state/tree/git parsers + real git/fs integration).
