Summary

superset panes only saw the main area. With the right sidebar on for everyone, agents can now read and arrange it too.

  • Read: panes list and every mutation result carry a sidebar block (shown, full screen, tabs and panes).
  • Arrange: split, resize, focus, close, swap, equalize and move find a pane in either area. move --to and swap work across areas; move --sidebar / move --main give a pane its own tab there. focus on a sidebar pane shows the sidebar.
  • Open: panes open changes|file|files|pages|browser shows the sidebar with that tab in front, like "Open in right pane" in the app. --background adds it quietly. open file PATH [--line N] shows a file in the editor; open changes PATH [--line N] points Changes at one file. The host turns the path into the form each pane needs and rejects missing files and paths outside the workspace.
  • Show: panes sidebar show [--full-screen], panes sidebar hide.
  • new-tab --sidebar opens a terminal there.
  • Right pane full screen moved from useRightPaneMode state to stores/right-pane-full-screen.ts so the CLI can set it. Both pane layout stores now register for live edits.
  • The panes skill covers the sidebar.

Film of it running against this branch: https://app.superset.sh/page/agents-can-drive-the-right-sidebar-ux0iq2

Compatibility

New procedures (panes.open, panes.sidebar) and optional inputs (area, background, path, line). The sidebar block on results is optional. A newer CLI against an older desktop app gets "too old" for the new commands; --sidebar on new-tab/move errors when the result has no sidebar block.

Testing

  • Desktop applyPaneLayoutOp tests (22), host-service panes tests incl. resolveOpenPath, CLI suite (464) pass. Typecheck clean in desktop, host-service, CLI, shared. check:plugins passes.
  • In the dev app over CDP: every command above, including moves both ways, full screen and back, open file --line, open changes PATH, and the error cases.
  • Seen once, not reproduced in three repeats: a terminal moved from the sidebar into the main area drew blank until its tab re-rendered, seconds after the workspace opened.

Summary by cubic

Lets agents read and arrange the right sidebar with superset panes, not just the main pane area.

  • panes list and every mutation result now carry a sidebar block: whether it's open, full screen, and its tabs and panes.
  • split, resize, focus, close, swap, equalize, and move find a pane in either area; move --to and swap work across areas, and move --sidebar / move --main give a pane its own tab there. Focus on a sidebar pane shows the sidebar. The main area only accepts terminals and chats: move and swap refuse to place viewer panes there.
  • New panes open changes|file|files|pages|browser shows the sidebar with that tab in front — --background adds it quietly — and open file PATH [--line N], open changes PATH [--line N] point the editor or Changes at a specific file. open file without --line opens the code view. The host resolves the path against the worktree, follows symlinks, and rejects missing files and paths outside it.
  • New panes sidebar show [--full-screen] and panes sidebar hide; new-tab --sidebar opens a terminal there.
  • Right-pane full screen moved from component state to stores/right-pane-full-screen.ts so the CLI can set it; both pane layout stores now register for live edits.

Compatibility

  • The new ops are optional inputs; a newer CLI against an older desktop app fails with "too old" for open, sidebar, or --sidebar on new-tab and move. move --main needs no sidebar support.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Manage panes in the main workspace and right sidebar. Open files, Changes, Files, Pages, and browser tabs in the sidebar, move panes between areas, and show or hide the sidebar, including in full-screen mode.
    • Use CLI commands and options to open sidebar content, control sidebar visibility, and create or move tabs in a chosen area.
    • Pane listings now include sidebar tabs and their split layouts.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Pane details and terminal information are now available for sidebar tabs as well as main workspace tabs.

The panes CLI only saw the main area. Now that the workspace has a right
sidebar, agents can read and arrange it too.

- panes list and every mutation result carry a sidebar block: shown,
  full screen, and its tabs and panes.
- split, resize, focus, close, swap, equalize and move find a pane in
  either area; move --to and swap work across areas, move --sidebar and
  move --main give a pane its own tab in that area.
- panes open changes|file|files|pages|browser shows the sidebar with that
  tab in front (--background to add it quietly). open file PATH shows a
  file in the editor, open changes PATH points Changes at one file, both
  with --line. The host turns the path into the form each pane needs.
- panes sidebar show [--full-screen] and panes sidebar hide.
- new-tab --sidebar opens a terminal there.
- Right pane full screen moves from component state to a small store so
  the CLI can set it; both pane layout stores register for live edits.
- The panes skill covers the sidebar.

Walkthrough

This change adds main-area and right-sidebar pane operations, including cross-area moves, sidebar tool opening, visibility and fullscreen controls, and sidebar-aware layout results. It updates desktop state handling, host-service procedures, CLI commands, and pane guidance.

Changes: Right Sidebar Pane Operations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pane area and sidebar layout contract
packages/shared/src/pane-layout-ops.ts
The shared operation schema adds main and sidebar areas, sidebar tools and state, and operations for opening tools and changing sidebar visibility.
Cross-area pane operations and validation
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/components/GlobalPaneLayoutRequests/hooks/usePaneLayoutRequests/utils/applyPaneLayoutOp/*
The operation handler supports pane moves, swaps, focus, tab creation, and tool opening across both areas. Tests cover the new operations and results.
Desktop stores and layout synchronization
apps/desktop/src/renderer/stores/*, apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/..., apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/components/GlobalPaneLayoutRequests/hooks/usePaneLayoutRequests/usePaneLayoutRequests.ts
The desktop registers separate stores for each area, tracks fullscreen state, updates mounted or persisted layouts, and includes sidebar state in layout results.
Host procedures and path resolution
packages/host-service/src/trpc/router/panes/*
The host router accepts area-aware tab operations and adds sidebar and open procedures. It resolves file and Changes paths and enriches sidebar panes with details.
CLI commands, layout output, and pane guidance
packages/cli/src/commands/panes/*, packages/cli/src/lib/pane-layout-format.ts, plugins/superset/skills/panes/*
The CLI adds sidebar commands and placement options. Layout output and pane guidance now describe sidebar state and operations.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Inline comments:
Review comments at @packages/cli/src/commands/panes/move/command.ts:
- Around line 61-65: Restrict the requireSidebar check after moveToNewTab to the
sidebar area; do not run it when area is "main", so a successful --main move is
not reported as an error.

Review comments at @packages/cli/src/lib/pane-layout-format.ts:
- Around line 62-65: Update the empty-tabs message in the main-area formatting
logic: when the layout has sidebar support, identify the main area as empty;
preserve the current “No panes open in this workspace.” wording when sidebar
support is absent.

Review comments at
@packages/host-service/src/trpc/router/panes/resolve-open-path.ts:
- Around line 23-25: Update resolveOpenPath’s file-path handling to canonicalize
both worktreePath and the candidate with real paths, reject candidates outside
the canonical workspace root (including symlink targets), and only then allow
the file to be opened; do not use fileExists as containment validation.

Review comments at @plugins/superset/skills/panes/SKILL.md:
- Line 3: Update the generated plugin artifacts for the changed panes skill:
publish the Superset plugin with a patch version bump and include the resulting
changes in .agent-marketplace.json and manifests.generated.ts so they reflect
the current SKILL.md guidance.

Follow symlinks and reject files outside the worktree, so open file only
shows workspace files. move --main no longer needs sidebar support, and

### Issue 1
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/components/GlobalPaneLayoutRequests/hooks/usePaneLayoutRequests/usePaneLayoutRequests.ts:121-126
Moving a sidebar browser, file, or Changes pane into the main area can remove it from both areas. The first `replaceState` fires `useRightPaneAreaLifecycle`, which immediately moves the pane back to the sidebar. The next iteration replaces the sidebar with the precomputed layout that excludes it. Cross-area swaps have the same problem, and the command still reports success.

Coordinate these writes with the existing move-back subscription so it cannot undo the move between writes.

### Issue 2
packages/host-service/src/trpc/router/panes/resolve-open-path.ts:23-25
`open file` accepts existing files outside the selected workspace. With a workspace at `/repo`, both `/etc/passwd` and `../other/file` pass this branch when they exist. The editor's file reader also accepts these absolute paths, so nothing later rejects them.

This misses the PR's stated workspace limit and can open an unrelated host file. Check the resolved path against the workspace before returning it.

### Issue 3
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/components/GlobalPaneLayoutRequests/hooks/usePaneLayoutRequests/utils/applyPaneLayoutOp/applyPaneLayoutOp.ts:209-213
`fileData` selects the code view only when `--line` is supplied. A plain `panes open file README.md` therefore opens Markdown preview, not the promised editor. `resolveActivePaneView` ignores `mode`, and Markdown preview has a higher default priority than code.

Set `viewId: "code"` for file opens even without a line.

### Issue 4
packages/host-service/src/trpc/router/panes/resolve-open-path.ts:36
The `startsWith("..")` check rejects valid workspace filenames such as `..notes.md` and directories such as `..config/settings.json`. Neither path leaves the workspace, but `open changes` returns an outside-workspace error.

Reject exactly `..` or paths beginning with `..` followed by a path separator instead.

Summary

Extends superset panes to read and arrange the right sidebar.

  • Pane commands can find and move panes across both workspace areas.
  • Agents can open workspace content in the sidebar and control its visibility.
  • Pane listings show the tabs and pane details in the right sidebar.

Acknowledged by Kitenite: one sidebar-to-main terminal appeared blank until its tab re-rendered shortly after workspace opening. Three repeats did not reproduce it; that observation is not reported as a separate finding.

P2 Files outside workspace open

open file accepts existing files outside the selected workspace. With a workspace at /repo, both /etc/passwd and ../other/file pass this branch when they exist. The editor's file reader also accepts these absolute paths, so nothing later rejects them.

This misses the PR's stated workspace limit and can open an unrelated host file. Check the resolved path against the workspace before returning it.

Comment:
**Valid filenames are rejected**

The `startsWith("..")` check rejects valid workspace filenames such as `..notes.md` and directories such as `..config/settings.json`. Neither path leaves the workspace, but `open changes` returns an outside-workspace error.

Reject exactly `..` or paths beginning with `..` followed by a path separator instead.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

The app moves any pane that is not a terminal or chat out of the main area
as soon as it lands there, so a CLI move of a browser, file or Changes pane
into it came back to the sidebar and was then dropped by the sidebar write.
move and swap now refuse that with a clear error, and the sidebar is written
before the main area.

Also open the code view for open file without --line, and accept names
like ..notes.md in open changes.

Reset Pages when opening it without a slug.

If a Pages pane shows a specific page, open pages matches that pane but leaves its page data unchanged. The command cannot return the user to the default Pages view. Clear the page selection on reuse when op.slug is absent.

Update the pages-list reuse path in applyPaneLayoutOp so that when op.slug is
absent, reusing an existing pane clears its page selection and returns it to the
default Pages view; preserve the current page-selection behavior when op.slug is
provided.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Reset Changes when opening it without a path.

If an existing Changes pane shows one file, open changes reuses that pane without a refresh. The pane still shows the file instead of the default Changes view. Refresh the reused pane with default diff data when op.path is absent.

…lls; superset plugin 0.3.2 (#9207)

* chore(plugins): point browser, page and orchestrate skills at the sidebar; bump superset plugin to 0.3.2

#9204 changed the panes skill but kept 0.3.1, so Claude Code keeps serving
the cached copy. The browser skill can open the app in the right sidebar,
the page skill can show a published page there, and the orchestrate skill
can watch a worker or its diff there.

* chore(plugins): check for panes and pass the workspace in the browser skill's sidebar step

* chore(plugins): use the requested URL in the browser skill's sidebar step
