- Remove every box-shadow; panel uses the native sidebar fill surface
(--dsw-specific-sidebar-fill) with a hairline border, the collapse
control becomes the native 36px circular rail button, the active tab
uses the native interactive-bg-active fill, and rows/typography follow
the native 34px/14px session-row recipe.
- New 'Side card' settings section in the DSH Settings shell: open-by-
default for new conversations (boolean) and default width share as a
percent of the window (20-60). New sessions seed from these prefs;
existing per-session layouts stay untouched.
- The settings namespace is read/written through the plugin's own fenced
/sidebar routes calling the settings seam in-process: the DSH settings
RPC domain only serves allowlisted namespaces to configuration clients,
so third-party namespaces cannot use connection.api.settings (reads are
silently filtered, writes refused with 'not exposed'). The seam still
persists to the user settings document with revision-guarded writes.
- fs-tree joins listed paths with the platform separator (Windows rows
previously leaked mixed separators)
- media route containment check goes through isWithin(): separator-
tolerant and case-insensitive on win32, so case-mismatched Windows
paths are not misclassified
- relativeTo compares case-insensitively (Windows / case-insensitive
macOS volumes) while keeping the caller's own casing in the output
- tests: platform-conditional path assertions, os.tmpdir() instead of
/tmp, isWithin/relativeTo/resolveSidebarPath win32 coverage
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.
- 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.
- The per-session terminal quota counted exited zombie handles (shells
closed or dropped on hosts without the close-frame protocol), so enough
abandoned terminals permanently blocked new ones — the 'disconnected,
reconnecting' loop. open() now sweeps the session's exited handles before
the quota check, and the running instance's leftovers disappear on the
next restart (disposeAll).
- Dragging a tab onto the strip's background fired the drop TWICE: the
TabBar handled it (merge into this pane) and the event bubbled to the
pane root, which ran its edge-zone handler again — producing two splits /
a duplicated instance (up+down). The strip now stops propagation for
drag-over and drop.
- Tests: +1 real-pty smoke (exited handle swept, new tab spawns under a
quota of 1).
- 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).
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).
