Summary by cubic

Closes SUPER-2370. Adds a persisted Auto Save setting for manually edited v2 workspace files, with Off, After delay (3s), On focus change, and On window change modes.

  • Auto-save is managed centrally in the document store, so it also affects files in inactive editors.
  • Deactivating a file pane triggers an autosave through the focus-change mode.
  • Delayed saves are rescheduled when edits arrive during an in-flight save so nothing is lost.
  • Adds a file_auto_save column via migration 0057, tRPC get/set endpoints, and a CLI settings registry entry.
  • Makes the option searchable in Settings and localized across all locale files.
  • Adds unit tests covering save timing, focus-change handling, and rescheduling.

Written for commit 16c6b57. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable auto-save for manually edited files, off by default.
    • Choose to save after a 3-second delay, when focus changes, or when switching windows.
    • Find the Auto Save control in Behavior settings, including through settings search.
    • Auto-save pauses for conflicted files and does not automatically retry after a dismissed save error.
  • Localization

    • Added translated auto-save labels, descriptions, and options across supported languages.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds four file auto-save modes, persistent settings, a V2 settings control, and document save orchestration. It connects delayed, focus-change, and window-change triggers to managed file documents, and adds tests, CLI registration, and translations.

Changes

File auto-save

Layer / File(s) Summary
Storage contract and migration
packages/local-db/src/schema/*, packages/local-db/drizzle/*
Defines four auto-save modes and adds a nullable settings column. The migration metadata records the updated schema.
Settings API and registry
apps/desktop/src/lib/trpc/routers/settings/index.ts, apps/desktop/src/shared/constants.ts, packages/cli/src/lib/settings/registry.ts
Adds settings read and write procedures, default handling, mode validation, and CLI registration.
Controller and workspace integration
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/state/fileDocumentStore/*, apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/components/FileAutoSave/*, apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/layout.tsx, apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/hooks/usePaneRegistry/components/FilePane/FilePane.tsx
Tracks managed documents and requests saves after a delay or on focus and window changes. The authenticated layout starts the controller.
Auto-save behavior tests
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/state/fileDocumentStore/fileAutoSave/fileAutoSave.test.ts
Tests delayed and triggered saves, queued writes, conflicts, errors, document replacement, orphaned documents, and disabled mode.
Settings controls, search, and translations
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/settings/behavior/components/BehaviorSettings/BehaviorSettings.tsx, apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/settings/utils/settings-search/*, packages/i18n/locales/*/messages.po
Adds the Auto Save selector, settings search registration and tests, and translations for the setting and its options.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 16c6b

Automatic saving uses existing file-write permissions and has safeguards for conflicts and edits made during a save. One write-failure path can nevertheless stop automatic saving without showing the save-error banner, leaving edited files unsaved. Server-side enforcement and recovery after an application interruption were not verified.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: A non-exception filesystem rejection can suspend automatic saves without setting the error state that displays the pane’s retry banner. The document stays dirty and can be saved manually, but subsequent edits may remain unsaved while auto-save is selected.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Once enabled, the new triggers can write dirty, tracked text files in the user’s workspace, including inactive editors. The inspected renderer path does not establish new cross-workspace or server-side write authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — A focus event supplies a save trigger, not a new path or content value. The controller checks document state before calling save(), and the settings mutation restricts modes to its declared enum. Server-side filesystem authorization was not inspected.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Keeping dirty content in memory and allowing manual Save limits the identified failure path, but a blocked auto-save without the error banner weakens the selected mode’s durability assurance.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make non-exception write rejections visible and provide an explicit recovery path while preserving the controller’s protection against automatic retry loops.

Only the page creator can stop or add listening agents. On focus change also
saves on window blur, and Auto Save pauses on conflicts. Taken-down pages do
not unfurl. Model picker coverage matches agent-models.ts.
