#5172 (render server-initiated turns in a hidden tab, shipped v0.51.743 via
#5218) has a non-blocking multi-pane edge flagged in review: when a
server-initiated turn arrives for a session that is NOT the active pane, the
hidden-tab status poll called _attachServerInitiatedStream() and could not tell
whether the attach actually happened. _attachServerInitiatedStream returned
undefined in all paths, so the poll had no signal — a stop-on-call would cancel
polling while the turn was never rendered, leaving it invisible until the next
user interaction.
Fix: _attachServerInitiatedStream now returns a bool — true when this tab is
responsible for rendering the stream (attached, or already attached to the same
sid/streamId), false when the attach was not consummated (sid not the current
pane, invalid input, or a thrown error). _startHiddenActiveStreamPoll captures
the bool and only calls _stopHiddenActiveStreamPoll() when true; on false it
keeps polling and re-tries on a later tick (e.g. once the user switches the pane
back to sid, or the turn finishes and status returns active_stream_id=null).
Tests in tests/test_hidden_tab_server_initiated_turn.py: assert all return paths
are explicit bool (no bare return), the non-current-pane path returns false, and
the poll gates _stopHiddenActiveStreamPoll on the attach result.
Apply the warm-review polish: parseInt radix 10, fall back to 1800 for
missing/NaN/non-positive values, and floor at 200ms so a mistyped tiny/negative
hermes-voice-silence-ms can't make the recognizer auto-send instantly. De-brittle
the source-string test to assert behavior (reads key / 1800 fallback / guards
non-positive) instead of one literal expression. Default behavior unchanged.
The voice-mode loop hardcoded SILENCE_MS=1800 and
_recognition.continuous=false, giving users no way to tune the
auto-send timing or keep the mic open across natural pauses.
Changes:
- SILENCE_MS now reads from localStorage key 'hermes-voice-silence-ms'
with 1800ms fallback — users set it from the dev console or a future
settings toggle
- _recognition.continuous reads from 'hermes-voice-continuous' (default
false) — set to 'true' to keep the mic open across pauses within an
utterance, with the silence timer remaining the sole send decision
New test file (tests/test_issue4761_voice_mode_config.py, 8 tests)
pins both localStorage reads and verifies the surrounding voice-mode
infrastructure is intact.

Translate settings_label_virtualize_transcript and its description into
Polish; they were still showing the English fallback. Also remove the
stray UTF-8 BOM from the top of the file.
A turn that streamed only prose (a long plain-text answer, or a degeneration
burst that floods the body with repeated tokens) still projected an anchor
activity scene whose activity_rows were all prose/terminal — zero tool/thinking
rows. The settle path promoted it to a collapsed worklog anyway (the gate only
checked activity_rows.length), hiding the whole answer and shrinking the
transcript by the full streamed height at STREAM_DONE, so the browser clamped a
bottom-pinned viewport back to the top (the 'jump back' report).
Add a worklog-worthiness predicate at both gates: the generation gate
(_anchorSceneHasWorklogWorthyRows in messages.js, decides whether to attach a
scene at all) and the render gate (_anchorSceneSceneHasWorklogWorthyRows in
ui.js, defense-in-depth for already-persisted all-prose scenes). A scene is
worklog-worthy only if it has >=1 tool/thinking row or a compression lifecycle
card; pure prose is not, so the turn renders as normal visible prose and the
viewport stays pinned at the bottom.
Behavioral + structural tests in tests/test_pure_prose_turn_not_worklog.py.
Address maintainer must-fix: _shouldKeepSettledWorklogOpenForPinnedFollow()
keyed only on global pin state, so every historical settled worklog re-expanded
on any pinned re-render — defeating the compact default. Gate the keep-open
exception on a one-shot token = the just-settled stream id (armed at STREAM_DONE
renderMessages, disarmed right after), threaded as _shouldKeep...(streamId).
Unpinned path unchanged. Replace source-string test with a behavioral Node test
that drives a second pinned turn and asserts it collapses.
Follow-up to maintainer review on #5058: make the pinned-follower helper comment
explicit that avoiding the visible STREAM_DONE shrink jump intentionally takes
precedence over a transient user-collapsed live worklog while the reader remains
pinned. Add a source lock so that intent stays documented.
Focused scroll locks remain green (22 passed), node --check clean.
A new post-#4970 scroll-jump class surfaced after Release YH: when a streamed
assistant turn with a large live worklog/tool trace settles, the settled compact
worklog collapses hundreds of pixels at STREAM_DONE. The reader is still pinned
and scroll state is correct, but the net scrollHeight shrink makes the browser
clamp scrollTop down by the same amount, which is visible as a large backward
jump.
Fix by keeping the just-settled activity worklog open for pinned followers
(_scrollPinned && !_messageUserUnpinned), so the live->settled DOM swap is
height-stable. Unpinned readers still get compact settled worklogs and keep their
viewport normally. Also make _anchorSceneWorklogGroup respect opts.collapsed;
previously it hard-coded collapsed: !live so the caller could not request an open
settled group.
Regression locks assert the pinned-follow helper, that settled rendering passes
collapsed:!keepSettledWorklogOpen, and that _anchorSceneWorklogGroup honors an
explicit opts.collapsed. Verified locally with a Playwright repro: before the
fix a large tool-worklog answer produced scrollHeight -367/-422px and scrollTop
-367/-422px at STREAM_DONE; after the fix nShrinks=0 and nBack=0. Local focused
scroll locks pass: 22 passed.
After a hidden interval that added persisted messages (post-turn bg-review
writes, sibling-tab writes, the just-finished main turn flushing), switching
the tab back caused refreshActiveSessionIfExternallyUpdated('visible'|'focus')
to hit remoteCount !== localCount and call loadSession(sid, {force:true}),
which synchronously did S.messages = [] before awaiting the metadata +
messages fetches. The visible result was the entire conversation transcript
blanking for the round-trip and reappearing — '对话突然消失，重刷才回来'.
sessions.js itself warns about this 'disappear and reappear' tradeoff at the
top of the remoteCount/remoteLast guard, but only short-circuits the
metadata-only branch (#5061). #5122's 4-probe staged reconnect covers a
different path (SSE error with ready_state=2 on a visible tab) and does not
apply when the SSE error arrives while visibility_state='hidden' — that
bottoms out through _deferStreamErrorIfPageHidden before the reconnect block
ever runs.
Fix:
- refreshActiveSessionIfExternallyUpdated maps the visibility/focus recovery
reasons ({visible, focus}) to a new keepStaleUntilLoaded option, forwarded
to loadSession. The post-stream idle reconcile and the poll/external paths
keep their existing behaviour.
- loadSession ANDs opts.keepStaleUntilLoaded with sameSessionForceReload (so
cross-session switches still clear synchronously — leaving a prior
session's transcript on screen during a navigation is the original bug
the clear was written for) and, on that path, skips the synchronous
S.messages/S.toolCalls/_messagesTruncated/_oldestIdx clear. The new
transcript is SWAPPED into S.messages by _ensureMessagesLoaded(sid,
{force:true}), so the user sees old DOM directly replaced by new DOM in a
single render frame.
- _ensureMessagesLoaded grows an opts.force escape hatch so its 'messages
already populated' early-return cannot skip the swap when stale messages
are still in place.
Verified live on a source 8701 build:
- before: minHtmlObserved 65874, minKidsObserved 11 — 372 samples at 16ms,
DOM html length NEVER dipped below the pre-call value during the reload.
- loadSession was called with force:true keepStale:true reason:'visible',
outcome 'reloaded', sMsgs 21 → 1037, after kids 11 → 134 (single-frame
swap).
Tests:
- tests/test_issue5177_hidden_tab_blank_gap.py (new, 7 cases): source-locks
the keep-stale guard shape, the recovery-reason map, the
_ensureMessagesLoaded opts.force escape hatch, and that the synchronous
clear is wrapped in if(!_keepStaleUntilLoaded).
- Updated the two existing source-lock tests whose anchor strings included
the loadSession call signature
(tests/test_webui_external_refresh_frontend.py +
tests/test_tars_scroll_reset_regressions.py) to match the new
loadSession(... keepStaleUntilLoaded:_keepStaleUntilLoaded) form. No
behavioural assertions changed.
Local: node --check static/sessions.js OK. 122 passed across
test_issue5177_hidden_tab_blank_gap.py + the full adjacent set
(external-refresh / journal-frontend / scroll-reset / reconnect-chronology /
inflight-stream-reuse / sse-error-multi-probe / issue4295 / issue4856).
A turn started SERVER-SIDE (self-wake, cron, restart hook) fans a
`server_turn_started` frame onto the per-session live-view SSE channel so an
open tab renders it live. But while a tab is HIDDEN the WebUI deliberately does
NOT hold that persistent SSE open (connection-pool budget — #3992 / #4151), so
`get_session_channel()` returns None at fan-out time and the turn is dropped for
that tab. The user only saw the turn after a manual interaction (refresh / send)
re-subscribed the channel and replayed it.
Bridge the gap with a lightweight poll of `/api/session/status` (one short GET
per ~6s tick — NOT a held connection, so the connection-pool budget the hidden
guard protects is preserved) that attaches the existing live renderer when it
sees a *live* active stream.
Backend (`api/session_ops.py`):
- `session_status()` now exposes `active_stream_id`, derived through a new
`_live_active_stream_id()` helper that only returns the id when the stream is
genuinely live (present in STREAMS / ACTIVE_RUNS). A stale id left by a
crashed/restarted run surfaces as None, so the poller never attaches a
renderer to a dead stream. Additive field — existing consumers ignore it.
Frontend (`static/messages.js`):
- `_startHiddenActiveStreamPoll` / `_stopHiddenActiveStreamPoll` /
`_attachServerInitiatedStream` implement the poll lifecycle. The poll fires
one immediate tick on hide (so an in-flight turn is caught without waiting a
full interval), attaches mid-flight turns via the reconnecting/replay path,
and stops on re-show (the real SSE takes over), session switch, or once a
stream is rendering.
- Started on BOTH hidden paths: the `visibilitychange` hook's hidden branch (a
visible tab going to background) and `startSessionStream`'s hidden
early-return skip (a session opened while already hidden). The visible path
and `stopSessionStream` clear it.
Tests:
- `tests/test_hidden_tab_server_initiated_turn.py` — backend live-validation
(stale id → None; STREAMS/ACTIVE_RUNS id returned) and frontend lifecycle /
both-hidden-paths / replay-attach source locks.
- Widened the brittle fixed-width source-window slices in
`tests/test_issue3996_sse_visibility.py` (1600/1700 → 2400) so the existing
`visibilitychange` / hidden-skip assertions still find their markers after the
poll-start lines were inserted into `startSessionStream`.
Codex found leftover quota-chip residue: #4657 had rewritten settings_desc_quota_chip
to 'Shown by default...' (and regressed several locales to English), contradicting
the reverted default-OFF behavior. Restored master's localized 'Default off / wide
displays only' copy across all 14 locales + index.html. The composer_mobile_quota
strings (mobile config panel, fit-related) are kept.

Per maintainer decision: #4657 bundled a scope-creep change flipping
show_quota_chip default off->on plus a migration force-resetting stored false->true
(stomping explicit opt-outs). Master deliberately ships quota-chip default-off.
Reverted config.py + the quota-chip wiring in panels.js/boot.js + the quota test
to master, keeping ONLY the footer fit-by-overflow engine. The mobile quota-action
selector addition (hide_composer_quota_chip selectors) is kept (fit-related, not a
default change).

Codex flagged that the fit ResizeObserver only watched .composer-footer, whose
outer width may not change when right-side controls (status/context chips)
appear — leaving the left control group's fit stale. Also observe .composer-left.

Expose a profile-scoped default_workspace on GET /api/profile/active (resolved
by the profile-aware get_last_workspace(), fail-open) and hydrate boot.js from
it, overriding the global GET /api/settings value. GET /api/settings stays
global-only so the settings UI can't clobber the shared default. Combines
claw-io's #5173 (primary) with the fail-open backend hardening + regression test
from #5171.

Rebased Paladin173's #4657 onto current master. The per-control visibility
toggles half already shipped via his own #4598, so this rebase carries only the
net-new JS fit-by-overflow engine (_fitComposerFooter: ResizeObserver +
MutationObserver measure .composer-left overflow, step full -> cf-icons ->
cf-burger). Co-authored-by: Paladin173 <Paladin173@users.noreply.github.com>
The sidebar_reference_sessions payload arrives project-unscoped from
/api/sessions. _renderSidebarRowsFromRawSessions appended it to EVERY
render unconditionally, so an archived parent in project B entered a
project-A-filtered render's suppression context and silently hid a
visible project-A child/fork (rendered as []). Add
_scopedSidebarReferenceRows() to filter references to the same project +
webui/cli source bucket as the render they feed, mirroring
_partitionSidebarSessionRows. Regression test locks the cross-project
case; the existing suppression test now exercises the scoped helper.

The new-conversation splash mark was wrapped in a glossy navy rounded-rect
that reads as a macOS app-launcher tile ('this is an app') rather than a
brand mark. Major AI chat UIs (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) all render their
empty-state mark bare. Remove the tile, scale the winged caduceus up
(~88px), and back it with a soft cyan/blue radial 'spirit' bloom.
Light and dark get separately tuned marks: dark keeps the bright
cyan->blue gradient + luminous bloom; light uses a deeper #0AA6CC->#1E63D6
gradient + cooler restrained bloom so the mark holds contrast on the pale
background instead of washing out. Entrance is gated behind
prefers-reduced-motion.
