Desktop and CLI helpers imported daemon bootstrap through the server root, while supervisor configuration retained the full wire schema tree. Expose existing capabilities through narrow package entrypoints and share configuration schemas without loading message definitions. Guard the dependency trees without tree-shaking so unused exports cannot hide the runtime cost.
* feat(app): reveal streaming text as one continuous fade front
Streaming assistant text is released by word and every character fades in
over the same 150 ms envelope from a start time owned by the message. Start
times never decrease in reading order, so a line paints as a single front
moving left to right, however the text is chunked. Per-word envelopes with an
internal stagger let the next word's first letter overtake the previous word's
last letter, which read as holes and flashing words at the real frame rate;
100 ms frame strips hid it.
Native renderers receive the fade ranges as a prop on a host view wrapping the
root Text, so ranges and text land in the same Fabric mount transaction. The
earlier binding sent ranges through a separate async module call keyed by view
tag and had to reconcile them against the view's text; on a fast phone the UI
thread lags JS by several commits, mounts and calls interleave, and every
reconciliation heuristic guessed wrong. Native code no longer infers newness
or creates start times.
The mock load-test provider now separates cycles with a blank line so a cycle
heading is not appended to the previous paragraph.
* fix(ci): refresh streaming dependencies and isolate E2E setup
* test(app): distinguish fade cleanup from Markdown replacement
* test(app): detect restarted fades during Markdown updates
* docs(app): keep streaming guidance focused on constraints and QA
* test(app): control animation time in Android fade assertions
Fixed wall-clock sleeps let emulator scheduling select the sampled animation frame. Inject the animator time source and drive paint at exact timestamps within one UI-thread operation; production keeps the system clock. Verify the mid-fade sample and the exact cleanup boundary without sleeps, polling, or retries.
* fix(test): compile the desktop renderer before lifecycle checks
The lifecycle fixture treated Metro /status as app readiness. Its first
Settings click therefore spent its 90-second UI budget compiling the cold
bundle. An isolated cold-cache run restricted to one CPU reproduced the
click timeout before the app runtime had loaded.
Reuse the browser suite's existing bundle warmup before launching Electron,
and preserve Metro output in the lifecycle artifacts. The UI timeout,
build-request timeout, lifecycle assertions and product behavior are unchanged.
CI did not preserve Metro output, so its precise startup timing is not
recoverable from the failed run. The retained log makes subsequent startup
failures diagnosable without relying only on an empty renderer text dump.
Validation: three complete lifecycle E2E runs under private Xvfb displays;
existing Metro readiness tests; app typecheck; targeted lint; root format.
* test(file-observer): await burst delivery through native recovery
The deletion phase required every event within 10 seconds, but native
coalescing recovery uses a 30-second safety audit followed by the existing
reconciliation debounce. An idle diagnostic excludes that delayed audit
and therefore cannot act as a completion barrier.
Await the required delivered events instead, preserving every deletion
assertion and the existing overall test watchdog. A real-filesystem test
with controlled native notifications reproduces 95 outstanding paths at
the old deadline and verifies completion when the safety audit delivers
them. No production observer behavior changes.
* test(file-observer): verify burst recovery through public events
The controlled-clock regression constructed a private native backend,
bypassing the interface used by consumers. Consolidate recovery coverage
into the public observer integration test instead: drive real writes,
deletes and directory renames, then await every required public event,
including the 450 surviving files at their renamed paths.
No public capability was added: subscribe callbacks already express
completion. No production behavior or test timeout changes.
* test(app): drive Android fade tests through the native host
The instrumentation suite constructed TailFadeInAnimator directly, advanced
its private clock, and counted FadeInSpan instances. It now mounts the
WordFadeHost that React mounts, feeds it the ranges prop the bridge sends,
and asserts rendered pixels: hidden before a start time, a monotone front
inside and across words, settled frames equal to the baseline, and no frame
callbacks left after settling. Span counts and internal timing state are no
longer asserted.
Choreographer cannot be advanced deterministically from a test and the fade
epoch is the message's wall-clock start time, so the host takes a
WordFadeFrameClock (time plus frame callbacks) as its smallest public seam;
production keeps the Choreographer-backed default.
Fixture text is sized in pixels so every sample stays on one line at any
density; at 420 dpi the 32sp fixture wrapped and the column helper summed
glyphs from the first line.
* fix(daemon): keep lifecycle operations on the selected instance
Restart reconstructed launch inputs and address fallback could redirect a home-selected shutdown to another daemon. Let supervisors publish bound endpoints, retain their worker restart contract, and share captured local lifecycle ownership between CLI and Desktop.
* test(daemon): verify bounded desktop readiness and cancellable artifacts
* test(cli): verify reload target hints and durable offline pairing
* test(daemon): align lifecycle fixtures with ownership and targeting
* fix(daemon): preserve reachability when status details time out
Provider discovery can outlast a status request after authentication succeeds. Keep local connection facts separate from unavailable details, while explicit remote queries retain their error outcome.
Migrate CLI and packaged Desktop fixtures to persistent managed configuration and explicit targets. Isolate generic Git observation from forge discovery and reuse disposable CLI homes on Windows.
* test(daemon): observe restart through the worker status RPC
The bounded CLI status observation may omit worker details while an authenticated connection remains healthy. Exercise the app-style restart through its full RPC and retain the replacement observation, with a real slow provider probe covering the distinction.
