* feat(approval): make the approval card collapsible (#3515)
Adds a collapse toggle to the approval card header so users can shrink it
to a thin header strip and keep the tool-call rationale/transcript above
readable. Full ARIA (aria-expanded/controls/label), chevron swap, and
transcript reflow that preserves near-bottom scroll. Closes#3007.

* docs(changelog): v0.51.288 — Release JD (stage-r24)
* fix(approval): clear collapsed state for a distinct queued approval (#3515)
Codex regression-gate finding: showApprovalCard's sameApproval check didn't
include approval_id and didn't clear .collapsed in the !sameApproval branch, so
a NEW/parallel approval arriving while the card was already collapsed could
render collapsed with its command + action buttons hidden. Add approval_id to
the signature; clear .collapsed for a distinct approval before syncing. +2 regression tests.

* fix(settings): persist show_cron_sessions in the explicit Save Settings path too (#3514)
Codex regression-gate follow-up: the autosave path (_preferencesPayloadFromUi)
included show_cron_sessions but the explicit saveSettings() button path read/saved
show_cli_sessions and dropped the cron checkbox — clicking Save Settings silently
omitted it. Read settingsShowCronSessions + add body.show_cron_sessions (gated on
CLI sessions, mirroring autosave).
* fix(settings): gate show_cron_sessions identically in BOTH save paths (#3514)
Codex round-2: my saveSettings() gate exposed that the autosave path
(_preferencesPayloadFromUi) posted the raw cron checkbox state ungated, so
show_cli_sessions=false + show_cron_sessions=true could persist via autosave.
Gate autosave on showCliCb too; update the regression test to assert both
paths gate on settingsShowCliSessions.

Adds the Verdigris dark-only appearance skin (emerald/forest-green + bronze-gold),
renamed from the contributor's 'Hermes Agent' to a descriptive material name per
maintainer naming convention. Registered across all 5 skin sites (config allowlist,
boot.js swatch, index.html FOUC map, i18n in 12 locales, scoped CSS palette) + test.
Also fixes the zeus i18n test (zeus is no longer the trailing skin token).

## Release v0.51.258 — Release HZ (stage-r6)
Fresh-arrival low-risk pair (both @rodboev, landed in the last sweep window).
### Fixed
| Issue | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| #3597 | The "update available" banner now shows from **any panel** (Settings → System "Check now", etc.), not just the Chat view — it was positioned inside the chat surface so it only rendered there. |
| #3592 | Under Simplified Tool Calling, an assistant turn with **thinking but no tool calls** now renders that thinking inline on settlement instead of burying it in an empty collapsed activity group. |
### Review fix absorbed (Codex)
#3592's inline-render `continue` skipped the activity-group creation that carried the turn's `data-turn-duration`, but the footer still suppressed the "Done in …" duration for any `assistantThinking` turn → thinking-only turns silently lost their duration display. Fixed: footer duration is now suppressed **only** for turns that actually build an activity group (`toolCallAssistantIdxs.has(mi)`), so thinking-only inline turns keep "Done in …". + regression test.

## Release v0.51.254 — Release HV (stage-r2)
Phase-2 medium wave 1 — 4 PRs (UI/mobile/cancel fixes + an un-held model dedup).
### Fixed
| Issue/PR | Author | Fix |
|----------|--------|-----|
| #3528 | @franksong2702 | Render partial tool calls after cancel — interrupted turns keep their `_partial_tool_calls` rows in the transcript + fallback tool-cards. (Codex confirmed it stays render-only, not forwarded to the provider API.) |
| #3550 | @lurebat | Android offline recovery soft-reattaches the live stream instead of hard-reloading the page on a transient background/disconnect. |
| #3479 | @mvanhorn | iOS Safari no longer snaps the conversation to the top when a handoff/compression card is inserted mid-stream or on `refreshSession()`. |
| #3478 | @JayC-L | **Un-held:** named custom providers (`@custom:name:model`) dedup against bare model IDs without regressing Ollama multi-colon tags (`qwen2.5:7b-instruct-q4`). Only `@custom:` IDs strip the two-segment prefix. |
### Hold-sweep note
#3478/#3489 was held yesterday for an Ollama multi-colon-tag regression risk (a blanket `lastIndexOf` would lose the model). The author pushed a scoped fix (only `@custom:` IDs use `lastIndexOf`); I verified `_normId` in node against the regression cases — Ollama bare tags are preserved. Un-held + shipped.

## Release v0.51.252 — Release HT (stage-q24)
Two trivially-safe @rodboev changes (independent).
### Fixed
| Issue | Author | Fix |
|-------|--------|-----|
| #2481 | @rodboev | The floating "selected-text reply" button now has `user-select:none`, so its own label can't get caught in a text selection (no bleed-through). CSS one-liner. |
### Docs
- README **Compatibility** section: upgrade WebUI + hermes-agent together until the stable agent API (#2491) lands. (@rodboev)
### Dropped from this batch
- **#2977 `/use` skill command** was staged here but **dropped** — the Codex regression gate found an async stale-directive race (`cmdUse()` awaits `/api/skills` but `send()` doesn't await the handler → a fast next send can miss it, or a stale directive leaks to a later message) plus an over-eager `finally` clear that silently discards the directive on a local slash-command early-return. Held with `changes-requested` + a detailed rework note (tracked pending promise + clear-on-consume). Concept approved; needs lifecycle hardening.

## Release v0.51.244 — Release HL (stage-q16)
UX-approved direction via Telegram (workspace drag-drop polish you requested). All 4 drag-drop flows verified live in-browser.
### Added
| PR | Author | Feature |
|----|--------|---------|
| #3402 / #3424 | @pamnard | **Drop OS files/folders onto a specific workspace folder row or breadcrumb** to upload into that directory (not just the current dir). OS folder drops are traversed (`webkitGetAsEntry`/`readEntries`) preserving nested structure. Uploads via the existing `/api/workspace/upload` (no new backend). |
### Fixed
- **Composer drop-zone jank**: dragging a workspace file (or OS file) over the composer footer rendered a translucent overlay that let the textarea/chips/icons bleed through and collide with the hint text. Now a clean, fully-opaque box with a single centered **context-aware** label — *"Drop to insert workspace reference"* (workspace file → `@path` insert) vs *"Drop files to attach"* (OS file → message attach).
- **Drag-drop handler coexistence (CORE, caught in review)**: #3424's OS-upload binding assigned `el.ondrop` on folder rows, which **overwrote** the drag-to-move handler from #3422 (also `el.ondrop`) — silently breaking move-to-folder (the ws-path drop fell through to the composer as an `@path` insert). Fixed by binding the OS-upload handlers via `addEventListener` so they compose; each handler gates on its own drag type.
### Drag-drop matrix — all verified LIVE in-browser (real drag→drop, asserted on disk)
| Flow | Result |
|------|--------|
| OS image → composer footer | ✓ attaches |
| workspace file → composer footer | ✓ inserts `@path` |
| workspace file → workspace folder | ✓ moves on disk (report.md → docs/) |
| OS file → workspace folder | ✓ uploads into target folder |
### Scope note
#3424's PR branch carried the OLD pre-hardening `_handle_file_move`. Applied **frontend-only** — master's hardened move backend (v0.51.243, TOCTOU/symlink fixes) is untouched (Codex confirmed no `api/routes.py` diff).

## Release v0.51.243 — Release HK (stage-q15)
UX-approved direction via Telegram (workspace feature you named). Backend security hardened through 3 Codex rounds.
### Added
| PR | Author | Feature |
|----|--------|---------|
| #3402 / #3422 | @pamnard | **Drag a file or folder in the workspace tree onto another folder row (or breadcrumb segment) to move it** within the workspace. New `POST /api/file/move`. Drop handlers use `stopPropagation` so the composer `@path` drag (#1097) and OS-file upload-drop (#3411) are unchanged. |
### Verified
- Live end-to-end: `notes.txt` → `docs/` confirmed on disk; legit moves return the correct `new_path`.
- 13 tests (incl. folder-into-self/descendant guard, existing-target collision, and 3 security regressions).
### Security hardening absorbed (3 Codex rounds — all fixed + regression-tested)
1. **TOCTOU symlink race on destination**: a path-based `source.rename(dest)` could be raced by swapping `dest_dir` to an external symlink between validation and rename. Now opens both parent dirs via the workspace-anchored `open_anchored_fd` (openat + `O_NOFOLLOW`, same helper as the upload hardening) and uses `os.rename(leaf, leaf, src_dir_fd=…, dst_dir_fd=…)` with an fd-based collision check; path-based fallback only where `dir_fd` is unsupported.
2. **Symlinked workspace root** returned a confusing 400 after a successful move — returned `new_path` now computed against `ws_root.resolve()`.
3. **Symlinked source entry**: `safe_resolve` follows the final symlink, so moving `link.txt` would move its *target* and dangle the link — now rejected via no-follow `lstat` on the lexical path.

## Release v0.51.242 — Release HJ (stage-q14)
UX-approved via Telegram (Nathan — dark/light/mobile screenshots).
### Added
| PR | Author | Feature |
|----|--------|---------|
| #3440 | @t3chn0pr13st | **Graphite appearance skin** — a quiet, neutral-gray "workbench" alternative to the default gold/cream. Selectable from Settings → Appearance and `/theme skin graphite`. Both light + dark palettes on the existing CSS-variable token system; tightened typography, shadows, active-sidebar spacing, code-block framing. |
### Why it's safe
- **Fully scoped + additive**: every new CSS rule (and every `!important`) is under `[data-skin="graphite"]` — Codex verified zero bleed into the default appearance or other skins. `api/config.py` keeps the default skin as `default` and only *adds* `graphite` to the allowed set. No i18n keys dropped (only the `/theme` help string gains `graphite`).
- Opt-in; a user has to select it. Default experience unchanged.
### Test-robustness fix (absorbed)
The new graphite scoped selectors (e.g. `:root[data-skin="graphite"] .session-item.active .session-time{…}`) appear in `style.css` *before* the canonical unscoped rules, which broke 3 naive first-occurrence CSS-contract tests (`test_issue677` scroll-btn-overlay, `test_issue856_pinned_indicator_layout`, `test_workspace_panel_session_list`). Fixed those 3 to anchor on the canonical **unscoped** rule (start-of-line regex) instead of the first `.selector` match — robust against this and future skins. Verified they still pass on clean master CSS (invariant preserved, not weakened).

* Release v0.51.228 (stage-p12): workspace tree-drop #3411 + large-markdown preview #3378#3411 (@pamnard): stopPropagation on workspace file-tree OS-file dragenter/dragover/drop
so a tree drop uploads to the workspace WITHOUT also attaching to the composer.
#3378 (@starGazerK): raise md rich-render ceiling 64KB/1500L->256KB/5000L + backend
file read 200KB->400KB, add 'Render as markdown anyway' force button (reuses cached
raw content, no extra fetch).
* fix(workspace): force-render uses fresh path-scoped cache, blocked while dirty (#3378 Codex follow-up)
Codex review of #3378 found the markdown force-render path had two SILENT bugs:
(1) saving a md file from the plain-text fallback didn't update _previewRawContent,
so a later force-render showed stale pre-save content; (2) the cache-reuse check
'path===_previewCurrentPath' was tautological (var just assigned), so a force-render
after a file switch could render the previous file's cached content. Fixes: track
_previewRawContentPath (set on fetch AND save), reuse cache only when it matches the
requested path, and block force-render while the editor is dirty/open. +3 regression
tests. (#3411 was cleared clean by Codex.)

* feat(composer): replace mobile config-button sliders icon with context-usage ring (#3062, @NottheGuy007)
Squashed net diff of #3062 (the PR branch's tip commits were deletes of files not
present in our tree). Replaces the composerMobileCtxBadge text badge with an SVG
progress ring (ctx-arc + ctx-num) showing real-time context-window usage: ring
fill via stroke-dashoffset, centered percentage, color-coded green<=50%
orange<=85% red>85%. Ring resets to 0%/green on new session.
* feat(activity): add 'expand activity feed by default' appearance setting (#3080, @AJV20)
Squashed net diff of #3080. Adds a Settings -> Appearance checkbox
(activity_feed_expanded_default, default off) to expand new Activity disclosures
by default; preserves manual per-turn collapse/expand (explicit toggle still
wins); live 'Waiting on model' rows explain what the agent is doing before/after
tool calls. i18n keys for all locales.
* docs(changelog): v0.51.226 — context-usage ring (#3062) + activity-feed default-expand setting (#3080)
* test(mobile): update touch-target test for #3062 ring (badge removed)
#3062 replaced the composerMobileCtxBadge text badge with the SVG context-usage
ring (composerMobileCtxRing) but left 3 stale references in tests/test_mobile_layout.py.
The full suite caught test_mobile_composer_primary_controls_keep_touch_friendly_sizing
asserting the removed .composer-mobile-ctx-badge CSS rule + #composerMobileCtxBadge
element. Updated the assertion to the new ring: confirm composerMobileCtxRing exists,
the old badge is fully gone (not dangling), and the ring SVG is aria-hidden so it
stays a decorative overlay that doesn't steal the config button's 44px touch target
(which is still asserted via .composer-mobile-config-btn above). 56/56 mobile-layout
tests pass. Codex: no production JS dereferences the removed badge.

Nathan screenshot feedback on the Plugins card:
- Open button rendered as a yellow block with INVISIBLE text: --accent-text
resolves to the same gold as --accent in the default theme (text==bg). Switched
to a ghost/outline button (accent text + border on the card surface; fills on
hover) — always legible regardless of theme.
- Removed the redundant DOUBLE 'Enabled' badge (the dashboard-specific badge
duplicated the generic activation badge; kept the generic one).
- Toggle slider knob was hard to see on the gold 'on' state; added a drop shadow.
Also Opus SHOULD-FIX: _VALID_PLUGIN_TAB_PATH now rejects a leading '//'
(protocol-relative URL → remote origin in iframe.src). Test updated.
Nathan feedback: the download icon read as 'oddly placed' on dark generated
images. Geometry was already correct (8px inset on the image corner) — the
issue was low contrast: a flat rgba(0,0,0,.55) button blends into a dark image.
Add a subtle 1px white border, soft shadow, and 3px backdrop-blur so the button
reads as a clear chip-on-image regardless of the underlying pixels (the standard
treatment for on-image controls). CSS-only.
The .msg-artifact-image span was stretching wider than the image (inline-block
in a block context filled the line), so the absolutely-positioned download
button (right:8px of the wrapper) floated ~240px to the right of the image.
Add width:fit-content + max-width so the wrapper hugs the image; the button now
correctly overlays the image's top-right corner. line-height:0 removes inline
descender gap.
Nathan feedback round 2:
- #3220: generated images were rendering at the 120x90 upload-thumbnail size
(too small for the subject of the message). Now render at natural aspect
ratio up to 360px (max-height 360, responsive max-width), lightbox preserved.
- #3223: drop the per-item subtitle/description lines from the session action
menu — show only icon + label (VS Code / browser / ChatGPT pattern). The
description is preserved as a hover tooltip (title=). Makes the menu ~40%
shorter, less crowded, and structurally less prone to viewport clipping.
#3220: redesign generated-image rendering from a permanent bordered card
(filename + Open/Download buttons) to a clean inline image with click-to-zoom
lightbox + a hover/focus-revealed Download overlay, matching ChatGPT/Claude/
Gemini. Drops redundant Open (lightbox already covers it). Tests updated.
#3337: fix two-tone code background — Prism's prism-tomorrow theme styled the
parent <pre> gray while the <code> was navy var(--code-bg), so dark theme showed
a gray frame around navy code. Override BOTH .preview-code[class*=language-] and
its <code> to var(--code-bg) (mirrors the chat code-block fix at .msg-body pre).
#3223: fix action-menu clipping — the new Regenerate-title row made the 9-item
menu tall enough to overflow the viewport bottom when opened on a top-anchored
row at short viewports (e.g. 1280x720). _positionSessionActionMenu now clamps
the menu within both viewport edges and caps max-height with scroll when the
menu is taller than the viewport.
Per maintainer UX direction: drop the text badge pill ("APPROVAL" /
"N QUESTIONS") in favor of color-coding the existing right-side status dot
plus the colored left rail. Red dot (--error) for pending approvals, amber
dot (--warning) for pending clarifies; theme-driven, visible even when the
session is not streaming/unread. Approval dot gently pulses (disabled under
prefers-reduced-motion). Quieter and consistent with the existing pin/unread
dot family — the row no longer needs to truncate its title to fit a pill.
Updated test_session_attention_badges to assert the dot classes
(is-attention-approval/clarify) instead of the removed badge element/styles.

Cyberpunk-inspired dark-first skin with neon purple (#B347FF) accent
and cyan (#00DDFF) highlights. Full palette for both light and dark
modes with component-level overrides (glow effects, purple scrollbars,
tool cards, tree viewer, session badges, MCP status indicators).
- static/style.css: 37 CSS rules (light + dark palette + components)
- static/boot.js: Neon entry in _SKINS array
- static/index.html: neon:1 in skin allowlist
Follows the existing skin pattern (modeled after Nous).
- Rename _escHandler to _keyHandler (now handles nav keys too)
- Store counter reference (lb._counterEl) to avoid DOM query on every nav
- Remove dead 'let counter = null' and 'hasNav' closure variable
- Use lb._navImages directly in keyboard handler for consistency
- Add null guard on lb.querySelector('img') in _navigateLightbox
- Inline _updateLightboxCounter one-liner
- Fix CSS section comment 'Image lightbox close' → 'Image lightbox'
- Fix CHANGELOG placeholder (#PR → #2967)
When multiple images appear in the same message, clicking any image
now opens a lightbox with prev/next navigation buttons (‹ / ›) and
keyboard support (← / →). An image counter (e.g. '3 / 5') is shown at
the bottom of the overlay.
- _openImgLightbox now receives the clicked <img> element to find
sibling images within the same message container
- New _openImgLightboxWithNav, _navigateLightbox, _updateLightboxCounter
- CSS: .img-lightbox-nav (prev/next buttons), .img-lightbox-counter
- Close button (×), Escape key, and click-outside-to-close preserved
The tool-card border-subtle was so faint that the cards visually melted
into the surrounding prose once the cursor left the conversation. Bumps
the resting border to --border-muted and adds a 2px left edge so a tool
output row reads as metadata at a glance, even on light skins where
border-subtle is barely visible. Hover still escalates to --border2.
Verified by loading a session with mixed tool calls and assistant prose
on the light theme and confirming the tool cards are now identifiable
without mousing over them.
