Change

Settings > Devices now shows one red open-access warning and a neutral pairing explanation with guidance for authenticated reverse proxies. Header-token sessions no longer offer an ineffective Sign out action; cookie-token and paired-device sessions keep it.

  • Reuse exact configured-token validation through bearerMatches; health exposes only auth.bearer: true for a matching header.
  • Preserve the existing length guard and timingSafeEqual. An arbitrary or wrong Authorization header grants nothing, including on /ws.
  • Keep existing open-install defaults, same-origin checks and guessing budgets. This does not revive the default-deny policy declined in fix(access): a non-loopback client with no token and no device is refused, and the terminal announces its pane #569.
  • Update Korean device labels, Japanese/Chinese warnings, reverse-proxy guidance and the Devices changelog.

Only the pending Devices/proxy-auth hunks were extracted. No usage/hub changes or .senpi mockups are introduced. The patch applied without conflicts to latest main fetched at task start: ea287c42.

Security and review

The health flag contains no credential. Sign-out belongs at the proxy because it sends the app token again on the next request. The guide covers HTTP and WebSocket header forwarding and restricting the direct app port.

Review fixes: the contract now proves cookie authentication succeeds rather than merely checking flag absence; it rejects wrong bearer tokens and omits the flag for a valid cookie plus wrong bearer. The guide distinguishes the direct app's 401 from a proxy's own redirect/refusal.

Validation

  • bun install --frozen-lockfile: passed in the isolated worktree.
  • bun run check fast: exit 0; 4,017 passed, 0 failed, 8 existing skips. Source-state verification passed.
  • Isolated configured-token and neighboring token-auth contracts: 13 passed, 0 failed.
  • Mutation: disabling bearer acceptance failed the intended configured-token assertion; restoring passed. Restored source diff SHA256 matches the fast-checked source.
  • Real isolated ulw-qa herdr with temporary XDG config/state and non-loopback ephemeral app ports. No user session or ports 7317/7421 were used.
  • curl -i: health remains public (200). Missing/wrong bearer does not authenticate. Protected session is 401 without a token and 200 with the configured bearer. Cookie-only health omits the flag. Tokenless/unpaired open access remains unchanged.
  • Real /ws: valid bearer receives a snapshot; missing/wrong bearer is refused.
  • 16 inspected screenshots: 1440/390, light/dark; open state in English/Korean, header-bearer and cookie sessions in English. One warning plus neutral hint; no horizontal overflow or page errors. Header sessions omit Sign out; cookie sessions retain it.

Not verified locally: Windows/macOS, physical phones, actual Caddy/nginx deployment, and full integration/browser CI suites. Header forwarding was exercised directly against the real backend. Independent gate review was unavailable: the harness refused the sole spawn at its nesting limit. Manual review is not independent approval.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates
    • Proxy-authenticated sessions no longer show a Sign out option that cannot sign users out.
    • Device access guidance now explains when pairing or an access token is needed, and how to use an existing proxy sign-in instead.
  • Documentation
    • Added Caddy and nginx setup guidance for forwarding the access token to app requests, securing the app port, and checking access for signed-out visitors.
    • Clarified the device warning shown when no device is paired and no token is configured.

The server now identifies matching Bearer-token authentication in /api/health. The app uses this marker to determine sign-out availability. The proxy guide, device guidance, translations, and changelog describe proxy token setup and device access.

Changes: Proxy authentication and device access

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bearer authentication marker
shared/protocol.ts, server/auth.ts, server/index.ts, server/api.contract.test.ts
HealthAuth adds an optional bearer field. The health response sets it when token access matches the request's Bearer credential. Contract tests cover Bearer authentication and token-cookie behavior.
Sign-out availability
src/App.tsx
The app allows sign-out for device sessions and for token sessions that are not bearer-authenticated.
Proxy setup and device guidance
docs/guide.md, src/components/DevicesPanel.tsx, src/lib/i18n.*.ts, changelog.d/devices-open-quieter.md
The guide and device messages describe forwarding HERDR_WEB_TOKEN from an authenticated proxy. They also describe pairing, access-token guidance, and proxy-token sign-out behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 515fa

Proxy-token users may be misled about whether Sign out is available. A small guide clarification resolves this bounded risk.

## Change

Release 0.4.12: everything merged since 0.4.11 (178 changelog entries),
plus seven fixes from a pre-release QA pass that walked the end user's
path from install to error situations and fixed every place where they
got stuck.

### Fixes found by the release QA (commits in this PR)
- **Busy or unusable port** (`server/index.ts`): one plain line that
names the cause and the next step, exit 1, no stack trace. The "may
already use it" hint shows only for a taken port; a missing address
suggests `HOST=127.0.0.1`, a privileged port suggests a PORT above 1024.
- **herdr unreachable / state folder read-only** at startup: the server
log says what to do once.
- **herdr offline in the UI**: the sidebar state line and header pill
add "Start herdr on this PC, or check HERDR_SOCKET." (ko/ja/zh
included).
- **Settings that cannot be saved**: a plain sentence on the Settings
page with the server's words under Details, cleared once a save lands or
the device can no longer save; error codes are looked up as own keys
only.
- **Damaged `machine-settings.json`** is reported in the log like the
other state files.
- **Plugin + named herdr session (#1190)**: a `HERDR_SOCKET` set in the
plugin config now wins over herdr's own socket; INSTALL.md matches.
- **Install docs**: each install path names its prerequisites and that
herdr must be running; Windows' old-herdr message says to restart herdr.
- **iPhone/iPad (#1326)**: the caret goes back after the kept space, so
composition, Hangul and held Backspace keep working after the caret was
moved; the iPad IME regression now runs with touch points.
- **Files** follows the pane you switch to while it is open; **a prompt
card** stays through a failed prompt read (answers are still checked by
the server, 409 `prompt_changed` on a mismatch). Guarded by the new
`scripts/files-prompt-regression.ts`.

Commits:
- 403824dd fix(server): report damaged machine settings
- 032f28fe fix(server): say what to do when the port is taken, herdr is
away or the state folder is read-only
- 3e409f85 fix(plugin): keep a HERDR_SOCKET set in the plugin config
instead of herdr's socket
- a08bd73b docs(install): name each path's prerequisites and the
herdr-must-run step
- 036ee240 fix(terminal): put the caret back after the kept space on
iPhone and iPad
- a19afae6 fix(ui): tell what to do when herdr is offline or settings
cannot be saved
- 823f9858 fix(ui): read only the server's own error codes for a plain
sentence
- 9a2c6626 fix(files,chat): follow a pane switch in Files, keep the
prompt card through a failed read
- a2b703e7 chore(release): 0.4.12
- 08731845 fix(ui): drop the settings save error once this device can no
longer save
- 7a39f2bb fix(server): give the port-taken hint only when the port is
taken
- 92a0d77c test(browser): guard Files following a pane switch and the
prompt card through a failed read
- f2a5569a test(browser): count the Files and prompt card regression in
the browser lane
- 8410ac93 test(browser): wait for the next prompt read instead of a
fixed window

### Metadata
- `package.json` and `herdr-plugin.toml`: 0.4.12.
- CHANGELOG: `changelog.d/` folded into `[0.4.12] - 2026-10-18` with `by
@login` credits; `changelog.d/` holds only README.md.
- `release-summaries.json`: 0.4.12 in en/ko/ja/zh (8 lines per list,
equal in every language, each <= 90 chars).
- `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` 30 -> 31: `server/` and `shared/` changed
since remote-v30.
- Telemetry: `telemetry/worker.ts` + `shared/telemetry.ts` fingerprint
equals `telemetry/deployed.json`, so no Worker redeploy.

## [0.4.12] - 2026-10-18

### Added
- Settings → Integrations → New agents picks the mode Claude Code
(permission mode) and Codex
(sandbox and approvals) start in from New workspace, New tab and New
worktree. Agent default,
the default, adds no flag, so the agent's own configuration still
decides. The choice is shared
  by every device.
  ([#1303](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1303))
- Agy panes now offer their commands and user, project, plugin and
bundled skills in the slash
menu, with origin groups, one-line descriptions and skill chips in user
messages.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- Codex's command menu now includes shared and ancestor-project skills,
system skills and enabled
plugin skills, grouped by origin. It honors the pane's `CODEX_HOME` and
disabled skill paths,
offers saved prompts as `/prompts:name`, and inserts skills as `$name`.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- A Codex theme, light and dark, matching the Codex desktop app's
default look: white or
  #181818 surfaces, Codex ink and its blue accent.
  ([#1267](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1267))
- The message box's suggestions (commands, skills, files) have a close
button, so a mouse or a phone
  can put them away as Escape does.
  ([#1312](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1312))
- A question card can be folded to its title to read the conversation
under it, and opened again;
  the question keeps waiting for its answer.
  ([#1312](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1312))
- On a desktop with a mouse the selected tab shows its actions button
(`⋯`) while the tab strip is
hovered or the tab has keyboard focus, so Rename tab, Close tab and the
open pane's actions are
  no longer only behind a right-click or the menu key.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Devin chat now lists local commands and skills with their source
groups, imports enabled
skills from other agents, and shows skill chips instead of expanded
prompts in your messages.
Cloud-only commands and skills, MCP prompts, and terminal-only pickers
are excluded.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- GJC chat now lists its commands, user and project skills, and four
bundled workflows with
origin icons and one-line descriptions. Namespaced commands and skill
calls keep their colons,
and invoked skills appear as chips in user messages. Discovery honors
the pane's agent directory
and skill settings, including disabled user or untrusted project skills.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- A Grok pane's `/` menu now lists Grok's slash commands and the skills
Grok loads for that pane:
yours (`~/.grok/skills`, `~/.claude/skills`, `[skills] paths` in
`config.toml`), this
project's (`.grok/skills` and `.claude/skills` in the folder and the
repository root, left out
when `.gitignore` ignores them) and those of plugins. `$GROK_HOME` is
honored, and typed
`/name` skill names should show as chips in your messages. This is built
from Grok's published
README, not checked against a running Grok, which is not installed where
this was written.
  Grok's built-in skills, which live inside its binary, are not listed.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- Dracula, Nord and Vesper are available on either theme side, with
readable status and code colors.
  ([#1254](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1254))
- Herdr's seven light/dark theme pairs now have CSS theme rows with
readable text, agent
  states and code colors, plus upstream source and license attribution.
  ([#1254](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1254))
- Settings → Appearance picks a dark theme and a light theme from every
theme, as herdr does:
picking one of a pair fills the other side with its sibling until that
side is chosen by hand,
  and a dark theme chosen for light mode still draws dark.
  ([#1254](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1254))
- Hermes chat now lists its CLI commands, trusted project and personal
skills, installed bundled
skills, skill bundles and quick commands, with origin groups and
one-line descriptions.
Plugin skills are not listed because their enabled state lives in
Hermes' Python plugin manager.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- The hub connection form can show the management key while you type it,
so a key typed with
  the wrong keyboard layout is visible before it is saved.
  ([#1264](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1264))
- The installers open the app in your browser after a new install on a
PC with a desktop, where
the address bar's Install adds it. Over SSH they print the `ssh -L`
tunnel to run instead, and
  `HERDR_WEB_NO_OPEN=1` turns the opening off.
  ([#1228](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1228))
- herdrweb.dev shows Windows visitors the PowerShell install command and
copies it.
  ([#1228](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1228))
- The installed desktop app can fold Chrome's title bar away (the
chevron next to the window
controls): the header takes its place, drags the window and leaves room
for the controls.
  ([#1228](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1228))
- OmO's `/model` list shows in the chat as a card, as Claude Code's and
Codex's do: pick a model
and it is picked for the session, the model in use named on the card. It
reads the list OmO
  draws, fullscreen or not, on a phone's narrow pane too.
  ([#942](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/942) by @Noobear)
- OmO's todo list now appears as plan progress in the sidebar and as
steps in the plan panel.
  ([#1277](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1277))
- In an OmO chat, `/` at the start of a message and `$` anywhere in it
list OmO's commands and the
  skills it loads, and a skill named in the chat is drawn as a chip.
  ([#1217](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1217))
- omp's chat menu lists its skills from native, plugin and compatible
agent providers, with
profile-aware settings, origin groups and inline `/skill:` completion.
File commands and prompt
templates respect command precedence; recorded skill invocations appear
as user chips.
Invocation-only extension and plugin roots cannot be recovered from
on-disk settings.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- OpenCode chat now lists its commands and valid skills from user and
project roots, with origin
groups and one-line descriptions. Pane-specific config directories and
external-skill switches
are honored, and recorded skill expansions show the original invocation
as a chip.
Commands whose recorded screens cannot be represented in chat are
omitted.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- The header's More menu opens with **Search panes and actions**, so a
phone can reach the
  command palette by touch; on a desktop the item shows its shortcut.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The anonymous usage counts now include one message a day the app is
opened in a browser, with
the kinds of coding agents running in herdr (such as `claude` or
`codex`), so the maintainer can
count daily and monthly active installs. The usage notice is shown once
more to explain it.
  ([#1215](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1215))
- Add and manage subscription accounts from one provider picker in
Settings, with official
local CLI sign-in in a new terminal tab and CLIProxyAPI hub sign-in for
Claude and Codex.
All supported providers include installation or app sign-in guidance;
single-home providers
  ask before replacing a discovered account.
  ([#1236](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1236))
- Connect a hub to import its Claude and Codex plan limits, edit the
connection or remove
its saved key with confirmation. The management key stays on the server,
OAuth tokens
are never refreshed here, and disabling plan limits stops provider usage
requests.
  ([#1236](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1236))
- A web page this PC serves, such as an agent's dev server on localhost,
can open in the panel
beside the pane. Settings → File viewer → Web links chooses a new tab
(the default) or the
panel, and Shift-click opens a link the other way. A localhost address
is reached under the
host the browser used for the app, so it also works from another
computer. Other sites keep
  opening in a new tab.
  ([#1302](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1302))

### Changed
- Every agent's `/` menu (and Codex's `$`) now reads the way omo's does:
each command's
description is one short line with the whole text in its tooltip, skills
stand under where they
come from (yours, this project's, built in, from a plugin) with an icon
for each, a namespaced
name such as `/skill:x`, `/plugin:x` or `/prompts:x` keeps the menu open
past its `:`, and the
skill names in your own messages show as chips. A command's description
is no longer cut at 120
characters, and a multi-line one in a skill's frontmatter arrives whole.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- A question an agent asked earlier (omp's `ask`, OmO's
`ask_user_question`, Claude Code's
`AskUserQuestion`) opens in the chat as its questions and the options it
offered, the recommended
one marked, instead of the call's JSON. Found in #1250 by @CharleoYang.
  ([#1291](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1291))
- The chat and the composer say one thing per situation. While the
socket is down the composer's
placeholder is the one word "Connecting…" or "Reconnecting…" and the
chat draws no connecting line
of its own. A file whose path has no room shows a warning glyph on its
tile and one status line,
"20,000-character limit · 41 over", with no second limit line under the
card. A slow chat read
shows a muted "Waiting for the PC…" while the chat retries on its own,
and only repeated failure
shows "The PC isn't responding" with Try again. A failed upload or read
names the cause it knows
("Couldn't attach · PC disk is full") or offers Try again, with the
advice and the server's own
words behind Details. The held-input notice over the chat's input card
is the held text with send
  and discard glyph controls, with no label.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- While an agent writes its answer, the chat follows it every second
instead of every two seconds.
  ([#1281](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1281))
- The chat's "Working…" before an agent's first tool runs now looks like
the head of the work
block that follows, drawn where that block opens, so the block takes its
place without a jump.
  ([#1322](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1322))
- A message from a Claude agent team's teammate shows in the chat as a
card with the teammate's
name and summary, its report on request, instead of a prompt bubble full
of
  `<teammate-message>` tags. Found in #1250 by @CharleoYang.
  ([#1290](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1290))
- The default theme is now Codex, dark and light, instead of Amber. A
browser that saved its
settings before keeps the theme it shows, Amber included; one that never
changed a setting moves
to Codex. Amber stays one pick away in Settings → Appearance. The
installed app's title bar and
  splash take Codex's dark colors.
  ([#1318](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1318))
- Codex's built-in commands now match its recorded palette, excluding
screens the chat cannot
represent. Project `.codex/skills` remains excluded because Codex
loading it is unconfirmed;
  project skills come from `.agents/skills`.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- The online demo's sidebar is two repositories instead of six
workspaces: checkout-api, with
Claude Code and two worktrees running Codex and Claude Code, and
cli-tools, with omp and two
worktrees running pi and Hermes. The shell that replays `git log` and
`bun test` is checkout-api's
  second tab.
  ([#1298](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1298))
- Settings → Devices shows one red warning, not two, while nothing is
paired and no token is
set: the note on what pairing turns on is a plain hint now, and it tells
someone whose proxy
already signs people in to set `HERDR_WEB_TOKEN` and have the proxy send
it. The guide's
**Behind a reverse proxy** shows the Caddy and nginx lines. Who gets in
is unchanged.
  ([#1242](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1242))
- A file opened from the chat, terminal or Files list shows in the popup
again on a wide window.
Settings → Chat → File viewer → Open files → Beside the pane brings back
the panel beside the
pane for text and code; the viewer's header button still moves the file
open now either way.
  ([#1324](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1324))
- On a window 980px wide or more, text, code, Markdown and HTML opened
from the chat, terminal or
Files list show in a panel beside the pane, so the terminal stays
usable. Media, PDFs, binaries
and folders keep the popup. A header button moves a file between the
panel and popup, keeping
  that choice across reload and Forward.
Drag the panel's left edge to resize it (double-click resets); the width
is remembered on this
  device. Phones keep the full-screen viewer.
  ([#1224](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1224))
- Selecting another pane or PC closes a file opened from the previous
one, beside the pane or in
  the popup, and Back returns to that pane without the file.
  ([#1224](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1224))
- The header is quieter on a computer: Chat and Terminal are two words
with no box around them,
Files has its own button beside them (it leaves the More menu there),
and with one PC its name
is no longer repeated next to the title. On a phone the header buttons
are bigger to tap.
  ([#1220](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1220))
- CONTRIBUTING.md now takes a new theme only when herdr ships it as a
built-in, written as a
CSS theme block with reviewed overrides that pass AA. DESIGN.md and the
guide describe the dark
  and light theme pickers.
  ([#1254](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1254))
- The README's plugin-only install now names herdr 0.9.0+, Bun 1.4+ and
Node 18+, and the guide's
checkout install says herdr must be running first. The Windows installer
now says to restart
  herdr after updating it.
- An omo pane's `/` and `$` menu shows each command's description as one
short line, the whole
text in its tooltip, and lists your own skills apart from the ones omo
ships, each with its
  own icon.
  ([#1221](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1221))
- On a phone the file viewer's header is one row, so the file keeps the
screen: the name, Show
source and Copy, a More menu with Open in a new tab, Open raw file and
Download, then Close. The
size and folder line is left out there unless it warns of a partial
view.
  ([#1231](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1231))
- A pi pane's `/` menu now lists the nested skills pi finds below its
skills folder and the
skills listed in its settings, groups them under "Your skills", and,
once pi trusts the
project, adds that project's `.pi/skills`, `.agents/skills` and
`.pi/prompts`.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- Pinning a repository workspace now pins only that row. Its unpinned
worktrees stay outside
the pinned card in their original order, fixed in place until the
repository is unpinned.
  ([#1243](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1243))
- Pinned workspaces can be reordered within their card by dragging,
long-pressing on touch
screens, or pressing Alt+Up/Down. The shared pin order changes without
changing herdr's
workspace order or moving unpinned repository worktrees outside the
card.
  ([#1243](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1243))
- Settings → Phone & devices says less at rest: the Tailscale and
paired-device explanations are one
sentence with a Details fold, Keep screen on names its HTTPS condition
only where it applies, and a
  device's Revoke is a neutral trash button until it asks to confirm.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The Add PC host-key question shows the fingerprint to compare and one
sentence; ssh's own text
  waits behind Show SSH output, and the status box above it is gone.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- As in herdr's own sidebar, a top-level git workspace now shows its
branch on a second line under
its name, while indented worktrees and folders outside git stay one
line. A repository without
worktrees has its branch read too, so the strip under its message box
names it as well.
  ([#1244](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1244))
- A repository's worktrees hang from it on dim tree branches, as herdr
draws them.
  ([#1244](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1244))
- The plan meters show what is left of each plan's 5-hour session by
default (a choice already
saved is kept), fill the sidebar footer's row instead of stopping at
four, and their tooltip
  names a limit near its end that a chip does not show.
  ([#1301](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1301))
- Settings in the sidebar footer is its gear alone; its name stays in
the tooltip and for screen
  readers.
  ([#1301](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1301))
- The Pinned caption sits on the pinned card's top edge instead of above
it.
  ([#1301](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1301))
- A workspace row finds its project's icon in more places (`static/`,
Next.js `app/icon.*`,
Electron `build/icon.png`, `logo.svg`, `assets/logo.png` and others),
all asked at once. On a
repository row with worktrees, the folder opens and closes with the
group, and a project icon
  turns into that folder under the pointer.
  ([#1301](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1301))
- The sidebar's rows are one line by default (Settings → Appearance →
Sidebar rows), and on One
line an agent row is one line too, its place dim after its title. A
browser that already saved
  its settings keeps the rows it had.
  ([#1223](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1223))
- Pinned workspaces and agents no longer carry a pin after their name:
the pinned card at the top
  of the list already says they are pinned.
  ([#1218](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1218))
- The sidebar's pinned agents and pinned workspaces now sit under a
small pin and "Pinned"
  caption, so the pinned card reads as pinned at a glance.
  ([#1276](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1276))
- A pinned workspace is one line in its card, as an indented worktree
is; its branch stays in
  the tooltip and the row menu.
  ([#1276](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1276))
- Each half of a split view now has one row: its tabs, with the half's
Chat/Terminal switch and
close at the far end. The separate bar with the pane's title is gone.
The free end of the row,
  past the tabs, drags the half's pane to a half, as the bar did.
  ([#1270](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1270))
- The tab strip's **+** opens a shell tab at once in the workspace's
folder, as herdr's own new tab
does, with no dialog. A tab with an agent comes from the tab's menu (a
right-click, or the `⋯` on
  touch screens): **New tab with agent…** opens the New tab dialog.
  ([#1232](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1232))
- The terminal's notices say less. Input held while the connection was
down comes back as one row,
the command and two buttons, Send held input and Discard held input,
with no sentence over it.
View only is a plain pill with an eye glyph. An ended pane says
"Terminal ended";
  input held for it stays until it is sent or discarded.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The SSH host-key prompt now says what trusting does before you trust.
  A file that cannot be previewed says to download it, and
  "Opening…" and the same-name file list are announced and translated.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Subscription accounts show their source, plan and sign-in status in
provider groups,
with existing ordering and visibility controls. Short setup copy is
available in English,
  Korean, Japanese and Chinese.
  ([#1236](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1236))

### Removed
- The message box no longer has a resize grip on its top edge: its
height always follows the
  draft, and a height chosen with the grip before is no longer applied.
  ([#1273](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1273))

### Fixed
- Screen readers now hear "Sending your answer…" when a prompt answer is
on its way: the card's
  busy state sits on its options alone, no longer over the status line.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- "Loading PCs…" and "Loading agents…" in the sidebar are announced:
each is a status box that
  is in the list before its words arrive.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Six Korean sentences no longer hang a 을(를)/은(는) particle on a name:
closing a workspace,
a PC that needs a bridge update, a file with no room in the message, a
file that could not be
attached, an expired sign-in and a font that is not monospace are worded
around the name.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Screen readers now hear the chat's own waits: "Loading conversation…"
and "Reconnecting…" at the
end of the transcript are announced when they appear, as is a PC's state
word when its notice or
  bridge update clears.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The terminal no longer shows "Waiting for terminal input…" while no
pane is selected.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Screen readers now hear every status line the app can open with:
"Connecting…", the header's
connection word, a PC's state word, "Loading workspaces…" and "Waiting
for terminal input…" are in
the page before their words arrive, as "Sending your answer…" and the
loading lines already were.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The chat no longer jumps for a frame when the message box grows a line
while you read at the
  end of the conversation. Found, with its fix, in #1205 by @Yoonwoo-Ha.
  ([#1321](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1321))
- The prompt card says "Sending your answer…" while an answer is on its
way, and a refused answer
or a failed chat read is told as a plain sentence with the PC's own
words kept beneath it.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Typing `@` when the PC cannot list the folder's files now says
"Couldn't load suggestions"
  instead of showing nothing, as if no file matched.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Screen readers hear when an attachment finishes ("photo.png attached")
or fails, with the reason;
the chat log is named by the pane's title instead of its id, and a
picture a tool read is named
  by its number and the tool.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A failed attachment's note over the message box says in plain words
why it failed, with the PC's
own words kept beneath it, instead of `/api/pane/image failed (500):
...`.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- With reduced motion, the prompt card's options and question chips
change colour without fading.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A long chat history no longer adds a button to the turn rail for every
message loaded: once the
rail is full, one tick stands for each run of turns, so the page stays
light.
  ([#1289](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1289))
- A file path in the chat named in Korean or any other non-Latin script
opens in the file viewer,
and so does a path in backticks with spaces in it (`~/My
Docs/notes.md`). A particle written
  straight after a path (`docs/a.md를`) stays out of the link.
  ([#1271](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1271))
- Chat now shows "Working…" while Claude Code or Codex works with
nothing new in its transcript yet,
such as the spinner right after a message, instead of staying silent
until the first tool runs.
  ([#1307](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1307))
- Korean interface text wraps between words instead of inside them, and
Japanese and Chinese text no
longer starts a line with closing punctuation or a small kana; code,
paths and the terminal keep
their own breaking. A dialog title or the empty chat's greeting that
wraps now takes even lines.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A message sent from the chat to Claude Code with an editor connected
is no longer refused as if its
input box held a draft: Claude's `[⧉ … selected]` / `[⧉ In <file>]` pill
there is not typed text,
  and Claude's suggested next prompt shows again beside it.
  ([#1285](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1285))
- A Claude Code question that takes several choices offers "Or type your
own answer", as
its terminal does with "Type something": the card, or a message typed in
the chat that is not
  option numbers, types it into that row and sends it.
([#1239](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1239) by
@sergiorademacher)
- Claude's menu follows its personal, ancestor-project, synced and
enabled plugin skills,
with origin groups, name precedence and linked-worktree fallback. Its
command list follows
Claude Code 2.1.301's recorded palette and omits screens the chat cannot
represent.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- Explicit Claude skill invocations remain readable as skill chips
instead of disappearing.
Binary-compiled skills, session-only added directories, and skills in
subfolders that Claude
  loads only after working there are not listed.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- A Claude Code teammate stopped with TaskStop, and any background
command it left running, no
  longer stay listed as running in a pane's background tasks.
  ([#1319](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1319))
- Chat finds short Codex replies when the terminal shows a
completed-turn duration and time
  below the answer, including sessions started with profile launchers.
([#1248](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1248) by
@christso)
- Codex chat no longer shows image envelopes or local file paths beside
pasted images.
([#1263](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1263) reported by
@zerodice0)
- Codex chat can read a short first exchange such as a greeting,
including beside another Codex pane
in the same directory when their visible exchanges identify different
conversations.
([#1155](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1155) by
@christso)
- Threads created during Codex startup are checked against a precise
Linux process-start bound;
older tool-heavy transcripts no longer exhaust the short-conversation
message budget.
([#1155](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1155) by
@christso)
- The header's connection chip, the chat's footer, the terminal's banner
and the composer's offline
sentence say "Connecting" until this page has connected to the PC once,
and "Reconnecting" only after
a connection dropped; before, every wait read as a reconnect, a fresh
page's first one included.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The pre-connect shell's "Connecting…" line is translated like every
other status line.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A damaged remote PC settings file is reported in the server log.
- A browser that gets in with a token its proxy sends in an
`Authorization` header no longer
offers **Sign out**, which cleared nothing: the proxy sent the token
again with the next
  request. `/api/health` marks such a sign-in with `auth.bearer`.
  ([#1242](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1242))
- Attaching a second file with the same name is announced to screen
readers again, for a finished
  upload and for a failed one alike.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- When a new workspace opens but its agent does not start, the dialog
now says so in the UI
language and suggests checking the agent is installed, with the PC's own
words kept beneath and
  Open still offered.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A chat that takes too long to load now says the PC took too long to
answer, instead of
  "Something went wrong".
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A file named without its folders now opens, and shows in the file
search, in a folder that
also holds thousands of files (a downloaded data set): the lookup reads
the whole git file list
first, and the folder walk no longer lets one large folder use up its
5,000 entries.
  ([#1284](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1284))
- A file popup opens with the keyboard focus on the file, not on its
first button: Space plays a
video or sound and scrolls a text, where it used to press **Show beside
the pane** and move the
  file to the side panel.
  ([#1313](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1313))
- In the installed app's window, the file viewer offers **Copy link** in
place of **Open in a new
tab** and **Open raw file**, which opened another app window there
instead of a browser tab. A
  browser tab keeps both.
  ([#1313](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1313))
- Files opened on one pane follows a switch to another pane while it is
open (the Next pane and
Previous pane shortcuts): it lists the new pane's folder instead of the
folder it was opened on.
- A prompt card no longer disappears for two seconds when one read of
the pane's prompt fails (a
network error or a server hiccup): it stays until the next read says the
menu is gone.
- A GJC pane's chat and status no longer start the gjc CLI on every
refresh: the session found
for the pane is kept until GJC's session index changes (a `/new` or
`/resume` always writes
  it), the pane's gjc process changes, or half a minute passes.
  ([#1299](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1299))
- GJC chat keeps the displayed conversation while a temporary SDK lookup
failure is retried,
instead of briefly replacing it with terminal fallback. Missing or
changed sessions still
  undergo the same identity checks
([#1295](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1295) by
@Kinetic27).
- Grok chat on Linux follows any Grok executable named `grok` or
`grok-…`, including builds
newer than 1.0.50, when that process holds one `events.jsonl` for the
session Herdr
  reported. macOS and Windows still show the terminal view.
([#1207](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1207) by
@infowolfe)
- While the terminal reconnects, the held input's clipped preview
(`Input held: “…”`) answers the
pointer again, so hovering it shows the whole command; before, the
pointer fell through to the
  terminal and the preview's title never showed.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- In a narrow split on a desktop, the reconnecting notice with held
input stays inside its pane and
wraps, instead of running out of the pane's left edge with its first
words cut off.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- An HTML page previewed from a chat link closes again with X, the scrim
and Escape after it
navigated inside its frame (a click on its table of contents, a script
setting `location.hash`
once it had loaded); until now the preview stayed open and later file
links opened nothing.
  ([#1274](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1274))
- Install app no longer shows inside an installed app's window, in any
display mode, nor in a
  Chrome or Edge 140+ tab of an address whose app is installed.
  ([#1228](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1228))
- On an iPhone or iPad, holding the keyboard's ⌫ in a terminal keeps
deleting, as it does in any
  text field, instead of deleting one character and stopping.
  ([#1325](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1325))
- Moving the cursor before the terminal's kept space on iPhone or iPad
no longer drops typed
  Hangul or interferes with composition and held Backspace.
- On an iPhone, Korean typed with the on-screen keyboard in a terminal
arrives as whole syllables
  (한글) instead of one jamo at a time (ㅎㅏㄴㄱㅡㄹ).
  ([#1327](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1327))
- The terminal key bar fades the edge that hides more keys, so a phone
shows when the row scrolls
on, and every key with a symbol or abbreviated cap (Esc, ^C, ⌫, |, ~, /,
Ctrl, the arrows and
  page keys) has a spoken name for screen readers, in every UI language.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- In Korean, the message box's and the terminal input line's
placeholders keep each word whole
("넣지 않습니다" is no longer cut into "넣지 않 / 습니다" on a phone); what is typed
into them, and
  code, break as before.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A pane opened in a second browser while another one already shows it
now gets the whole screen:
herdr is asked to draw it again, so what a busy program drew only once
(btop's boxes, titles
  and column headers) no longer goes missing there.
  ([#1323](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1323))
- ANSI terminal colours are now readable in every light theme, including
yellow and bright colours.
  ([#1261](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1261))
- A right-click in the chat composer, the terminal's input line, the
find field or a password
prompt's field opens the browser's own menu (Copy, Paste, spelling
suggestions) on that field
again instead of the pane menu, as does the keyboard's menu key while
one of them is focused.
  A right-click on the pane itself still opens the pane menu.
  ([#1268](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1268))
- When the app's server cannot reach herdr, the sidebar's connection
error and the header's
"herdr offline" pill now say what to do: start herdr on this PC, or
check HERDR_SOCKET.
- A setting the server cannot save (its state folder is read-only) no
longer fails silently:
Settings shows a plain sentence with the next step, the server's own
words behind Details, and
  the change is sent again once the folder can be written.
- OmO's bundled skills now appear in the chat command menu on Windows.
  ([#1229](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1229))
- OmO panes show BG while a detached eval cell is still running or
queued after the assistant
ends its turn, rather than showing DONE before the background work
finishes.
  ([#1275](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1275))
- An OmO question asked while background tasks run shows its options
card again, not a bare
  Enter and Esc card.
  ([#1226](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1226))
- Mouse wheel and touch scrolling can read terminal history while OmO
has a question open.
  ([#1278](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1278))
- OMP question prompts remain available when a narrow terminal clips the
navigation hint at the end of the footer.
([#1192](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1192) by
@christso)
- OMP chat finds the pane's transcript on Linux when Herdr reports its
process without command-line
arguments, including sessions in a named profile. Process-memory reads
have a deadline and run
  outside the bridge so a stalled WSL process cannot freeze it.
([#1157](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1157) by
@christso)
- An Oh My Pi chat keeps showing its model after `/model` switches it,
instead of losing the name
  until the next answer. Found in #1250 by @CharleoYang.
  ([#1283](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1283))
- OMP question cards recognize current and clipped key hints, keep
wrapped labels and descriptions
with their choices, and support the final review step after multiple
questions.
([#1184](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1184) by
@christso)
- A rendered HTML page plays its own videos and sounds too large to put
into it (over 8 MB, or
past the page's 32 MB) instead of showing an empty player: each plays
from an address only that
render hands out, for 30 minutes and only to the network address that
opened the page.
`HERDR_WEB_MEDIA_ROOTS` names folders, such as a network share, that a
symlink beside the page
  may lead to for such a video
([#1188](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1188) by
@JensR93).
- A message queued for Claude Code is held for Send now when `/clear` or
`/resume` switches that
Claude to another session, also in a pane without herdr's hook, instead
of going into the new
  conversation.
  ([#1310](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1310))
- A held message whose Send now dropped before it left the browser now
says it was not sent and
  keeps Send now, instead of "Not confirmed" with only Copy and Discard.
  ([#1308](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1308))
- On a phone, a New worktree made with Shell opens its terminal: closing
the sheet no longer sent
the app back to the pane it was opened on before the new pane was
listed.
  ([#1241](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1241))
- On a phone, a downward stroke on an open agent list scrolls the list
instead of pulling down the
  dialog under it.
  ([#1241](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1241))
- Show Pi chat from sessions stored in the pane's own profile.
([#1194](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1194) by
@christso)
- A failure on the sign-in screen, in New workspace, in Find in
terminal, in a pane layout change or
rename, and in a workspace rename or reorder now says what happened and
what to do next in the UI
language, with the server's or browser's own words still shown beneath
it to select and copy.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Submitting a pairing code that is not six digits now says so under the
field instead of only
moving focus back to it, and New workspace's Directory field shows an
example path.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A `HERDR_SOCKET` set in the plugin's config is now used, so the plugin
can show a named herdr
  session instead of always following herdr's own socket.
- Installing the herdr plugin on WSL no longer fails with
`scripts/preflight.sh: 7: set: Illegal
option -` when git there converts line endings (`core.autocrlf=true`):
every text file is now
  checked out with LF.
  ([#1293](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1293))
- `status` and `stop` run by hand (without herdr's environment) now find
the server herdr started,
in the plugin state dir herdr keeps (also on Windows), instead of
reporting it down because an
old checkout's stale pid file was looked at first. By @vibewriter-hand.
  ([#1210](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1210))
- The card that asks before Claude Code or omp submits several answers
now lists each question
with its answer in plain text. It used to copy the terminal's lines into
a mono box, so a
  question the pane had wrapped was cut mid-sentence.
  ([#1296](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1296))
- The Agents list says "Loading agents…" while the PCs' panes are still
coming in, instead of
  "No agents running".
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A link that waits for its PC says "Opening link…" in the header until
it opens or says why it
  could not.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A folder listing in the command palette that fails to load now offers
**Try again**.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The header's link notes and a failure's detail line are set in the
interface face: Korean in the
  mono face had letter-wide spaces and a period set off from its word.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- On a phone, the terminal's reconnecting notice keeps held input on one
line, cut with an ellipsis
(the whole text in its title), instead of breaking a command inside a
word; wrapped notice text
  starts at the left.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- On a touch screen the composer's plan chip stays a small pill and
takes its 44px hit area through an
  invisible expander, instead of growing into a tinted badge.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- When file suggestions could not load, the composer now says what to do
next: keep typing to try
  again.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Every field's placeholder takes the dim text colour (4.5:1 or better);
the browser's grey was 3.8:1
  on a dark field.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Starting the server on a port that is taken now prints one plain line
naming the address and what
to do instead of a stack trace, and the log says once at startup when
herdr cannot be reached or
  the state folder cannot be written.
- Settings switches draw their knob centred in the track, and an on
switch takes it all the way to
  the end.
  ([#1282](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1282))
- On a phone, a tab with a short name (such as 탭 1) is now as wide as a
fingertip target, so a tap
  beside its name no longer lands on the strip or on its ⋯ button.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Screen readers now hear "Sending your answer…", the file viewer's
"Opening…" and the header's
"Opening link…": each status line is in the page before its words
arrive, so the change is read.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The New workspace dialog's Directory field shows the end of a long
path, where the folder's name
  is, when the path is set for you or the field is left.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Korean: the sentences for an agent that did not start, a tool's image
and a provider's rate limit
  no longer hang a particle on the name ("이(가)").
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- In omp, gjc and Hermes chats, a skill call now shows as the skill's
name instead of the
  skill's full instructions pasted into the conversation.
  ([#1245](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1245))
- The empty status boxes that stay in the page for screen readers (the
header's note, the
terminal's wait for input) no longer reach into layout: the note's
sentence has its own class, so
the pane title alone carries the header title's, and the clipped wait
region sits at the banner
  column's corner instead of widening the column by a pixel.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- With reduced motion on, Tab from the selected tab now reaches its
actions button (`⋯`) on a
desktop; without the fade's delay the button hid while the keyboard
focus crossed to it, and the
  focus fell out of the tab strip.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The terminal's "Terminal ended", "Reconnecting to herdr web ui…",
"Input held:" and view-only
banners are translated into Korean, Japanese and Chinese, and wrap
inside a narrow pane (a phone,
  or a split on a desktop) instead of running past its edge.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A two-finger pinch that changes the terminal's text size tells a
screen reader the new size once,
  when the fingers lift; a cancelled pinch says nothing.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A failed file paste or prompt answer in the terminal says what went
wrong in a plain sentence,
  with the server's or browser's own words after it.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Fullwidth punctuation (,。()) no longer pushes the rest of its terminal
row to the right in
Chrome, so OmO's side panel stays in one column while the transcript
beside it scrolls.
  ([#1300](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1300))
- Dialogs take keyboard focus before their first paint, falling back
when the preferred control
is unavailable, so an immediate Escape closes the dialog instead of
reaching the terminal.
New workspace and New tab reset failed agent launches before reopening
their fields.
  ([#1238](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1238))
- A web address clicked in the terminal opens in a new tab again, not in
a new browser window.
  ([#1234](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1234))
- Switching panes no longer leaves two window listeners behind for each
terminal it closes, so a
  tab kept open through many switches stops growing.
  ([#1288](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1288))
- On a touch screen every control is now at least 44px in both
directions: the header's buttons
and lens switch, tabs, the key bar's keys, sidebar rows and their
actions, palette and dialog
rows, the composer's buttons and a message's copy buttons. With a mouse
the chat's copy buttons
  and an attachment's X keep their size but take a 24px hit area.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- A browser connecting through a TLS-terminating Traefik proxy no longer
stays on Reconnecting
because its secure WebSocket upgrade was mistaken for a different
origin.
([#1206](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1206) by
@philipprass-prog)
- A file whose name holds Korean, accented or similar letters stored in
another Unicode form (as
files from a Mac, a zip or a sync tool often are) now opens in the file
viewer and shows up in
  file search, instead of failing with "no readable file at that path".
  ([#1219](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1219))
- The updater now removes the temporary `tmp_pack_*` files a failed
fetch leaves in the checkout,
including the ones earlier versions left behind (any untouched for an
hour is swept), and no
longer retries a failed history (unshallow) fetch every 5 minutes. On
Linux and macOS a fetch
that runs out of time is ended with SIGTERM first, so that Git releases
its lock files
([#1258](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1258) by
@mkitaev).
- A damaged or unreadable hub configuration no longer prevents the web
UI from starting.
The hub stays unconfigured, and the server logs the problem without
exposing its saved key.
  ([#1236](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1236))
- Failed local sign-in launches release an empty credential home so the
same account name can be retried.
  ([#1236](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1236))
- Closing account setup cancels a pending hub sign-in instead of leaving
its session active.
  ([#1236](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1236))
- A sign-in that finishes before the server's pane-event connection
starts now completes in the UI
  and refreshes the available accounts instead of waiting indefinitely.
  ([#1320](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1320))
- With a repository's main checkout open in more than one workspace, the
sidebar now hangs each
worktree under the nearest of them above it, instead of always under the
first.
  ([#1262](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1262))

### Maintenance
- One `useAnnouncedText` hook (`src/lib/`) carries the announced-status
pattern that the header note,
the file viewer and the two sidebars each copied; DESIGN.md names the
pattern and where the prompt
  card's `aria-busy` lives.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The split-view, UI and chat browser checks find a pane's conversation
inside that pane's frame
instead of by its spoken name, which now carries the pane's title; the
UI check also covers the
desktop tab actions button appearing on hover and keyboard focus.
DESIGN.md's tab strip section
describes that button and the lone pane's actions in the tab's menu on a
desktop.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- The browser checks that read the header's note select it by
`.header-note`; `.context-title-text`
  is the pane title alone, which the mobile tabs check measures.
  ([#1246](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1246))
- Theme colors now live only in the theme blocks of `src/styles.css`.
`bun run generate:themes`
writes the terminal colors, DESIGN.md's amber table, the `theme-color`
tag and the web manifest
colors from them, and fast checks fail when a copy is stale. Nothing
changes on screen.
  ([#1253](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/pull/1253))

## Verification summary

All QA ran on isolated herdr test sessions (`bun run check run`, socket
asserted under `/tmp/hwc-*/.../check-*`), never the maintainer's live
session.

- **Baseline on main f1491383**: real-surface run found the dead ends
fixed here (raw stack on a busy port, no next step when herdr is
offline, silent read-only state folder, unlogged damaged machine
settings).
- **Per fix**: each fix lane read the covering tests first, reproduced,
fixed, and captured test + build + run evidence; a separate verifier
agent reran every acceptance command and scenario on the committed tree
(stale-state, dirty-worktree and misleading-output probes) and confirmed
it. Files/prompt: 0/8 on main, 8/8 with the fix.
- **Independent rerun of every scenario at the release head** (23 rows:
preflight, startup, health/session/WS, corrupt state files, unwritable
state, offline UI at 1280x800 and 390x844, settings save failure, plugin
socket precedence, docs, iPad IME regression, Files/prompt): all PASS; a
delta rerun after the follow-ups (14 rows incl. a valid-file isolated
startup): all PASS.
- **Reviews**: code review APPROVE; plan-compliance/ideal-state gate
APPROVE in round 3 (round 1 caught two QA runs that had used the default
herdr socket; they were redone isolated, see below).
- **Local checks at 8410ac93**: `bun run check fast` exit 0 (typecheck,
generated types/themes, build, unit 4434 pass / 0 fail); `bun run check
integration browser`: integration 585 pass / 0 fail, browser 67 scripts
pass (`omo-plan-browser-regression.ts` failed once at 0 s on an ENOENT
mkdir of its evidence folder and passed on its single rerun); `bun
scripts/release-guards.ts --base origin/main`: "Release 0.4.12: remote
bundle, telemetry Worker and release metadata are in order."
- **Caught by the checks and fixed here**: the new browser script needed
the lane count in `scripts/ci-browser.test.ts`.

Known and left out (follow-ups, not blockers): #1179's small findings;
34 console 404s from favicon lookups on page load; a long `TMPDIR` makes
`scripts/herdr-restart-regression.ts` exceed the unix socket path limit
locally (same on main).

## Release

After this merges and its CI on `main` passes: push `remote-v31` on the
merged commit, wait for the Remote PC bundles workflow, then run the
Release workflow with `0.4.12`. Merge nothing touching `server/`,
`shared/`, `bun.lock` or `patches/` until the Release run is done.
