fix(web): show text input for adding projects on Linux desktop by eggfriedrice24 · Pull Request #1075 · pingdotgg/t3code

eggfriedrice24 · 2026-03-14T13:14:36Z

Summary

On Linux/Wayland, the GTK file picker is broken for folder selection in Electron apps, completely blocking adding projects. This shows the web-style text input on Linux desktop instead of immediately opening the native file picker.

Closes #966
Closes #270

Changes

Skip the immediate file picker open on Linux desktop (isElectron && /linux/i.test(navigator.platform))
Linux users now see the path text input with an Add button (same UX as web mode)
Mac/Windows behavior is unchanged

Test plan

On Linux desktop: clicking "+" shows text input instead of opening file picker
On Mac/Windows desktop: clicking "+" still opens native file picker immediately
On web: behavior unchanged
Typing a path and pressing Enter adds the project

Note

Show text input for adding projects on Linux desktop in Sidebar

On Linux Electron, the native file browser dialog cannot be used to add projects, so the text input path entry is shown instead. Adds isLinuxPlatform to utils.ts and uses it in Sidebar.tsx to set shouldBrowseForProjectImmediately to false on Linux Electron.

extract Linux matcher to helper. We already have for Windows and Mac

Done, thanks!

rebased on latest main, ready for another look

…otgg#1075)

Merges `pingdotgg/t3code` `c9fa1367ca` (99 commits from `0f09627a11`) into the fork. No open merge PR to stack on; branches from `main`. ## Merge - Landed 940 files against 939 in the upstream range (the extra is `docs/fork/inventory.json`); fork delta 775 files. - 8 conflicts, resolved by their preflight verdicts — details in the `docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md` entry. The ones worth a reviewer's eye: - `ProviderSettingsPanel.tsx`: upstream moved Add provider into `titleAction` (pingdotgg#17152); the `FEATURES.providerConfiguration` gate moved with it. - `PreviewView.tsx` (`decide`): fork's framed `navigate` kept beside upstream's move-tab/`close`. - `ChatMarkdown.tsx`: upstream's markdown pipeline moved to `@t3tools/shared/markdownPipeline`; only the Moatless Artifact imports re-applied. - `pnpm-lock.yaml` re-derived by install (fork `moatless-api` edge present). - Contract: `UnsupportedMethodError` added to `orchestration.searchThread`, `orchestration.searchThreadStream`, `preview.reportProfiles`; dropped from `projects.mutate` (served by the backend since moatless pingdotgg#1075). - `AppRoot.test.tsx` (fork-only) updated for upstream's new `<BrowserProfileReporter />` child. ## Verification `verify.mjs`: duplicate-adds, tripwires, resolution-check, unsupported-methods, lockfile, fmt, lint, typecheck and build all pass. Test: `@t3tools/web` had one failure (`AppRoot.test.tsx`), fixed and re-run green. Still red and confirmed failing alone — the same four as the 2026-10-08 merge, recorded there as machine rather than code: `ServerBrowserPage`, `AcpAdapterV2`, `OrchestratorReplayFixtures` (server) and `OpenCodeServerLedger` (now in `@t3tools/provider-opencode`). The full pass was not re-run after the `AppRoot` test fix; the web package re-run and that file alone were. ## Usable as-is - Thread-find match tints, timeline marker room, sidebar drag fix, collapsed-composer spacing, centered scroller fix, PR panel layout fixes (pingdotgg#17263, pingdotgg#17372, pingdotgg#17373, pingdotgg#17016, pingdotgg#17077, pingdotgg#15560–pingdotgg#15588, pingdotgg#16162). - Compact-before-send chip with token count (pingdotgg#17127); quote chips show your note (pingdotgg#15703); projectless threads show their machine (pingdotgg#17022); short messages with quotes/links no longer collapse (pingdotgg#16624); copy button position (pingdotgg#17137). - File preview fixes: downloads, in-page links, repo paths, favicons no longer leak internal hosts (pingdotgg#16950); previews before a thread's first message (pingdotgg#17352). - Terminal scrollback navigation (pingdotgg#17091). - Usage page filters and performance (pingdotgg#16970, pingdotgg#17147) — only where the fork exposes Usage. - Mobile, desktop and relay fixes (many) — not fork targets, taken as-is. - Provider package extraction (`packages/provider-{core,acp,cursor,grok,muse,opencode,pi,testing}`) — internal refactor, no fork impact beyond the new web deps. ## Unsupported in Moatless / needs implementation - **Find in thread** (pingdotgg#10439) — `orchestration.searchThread`, `orchestration.searchThreadStream`; client gated on the `threadFind` / `threadFindProgressive` capabilities, which Moatless does not report, so it toasts "unavailable on this server". Needs a backend search over projected messages plus the capability. Added to `docs/fork/gaps.md`. - **Browser profiles for server-hosted tabs** (pingdotgg#16956, `BrowserProfileReporter`) — `preview.reportProfiles`; sent only to `serverBrowser` environments, so never sent here. Extends the server-hosted-browser gap. - **Connection permissions / session lifetime** (pingdotgg#17370) — `SessionPermissions.tsx` renders inside the Connections page, which `FEATURES.connections` hides. - **CLI-update-unlocks-model hint** (pingdotgg#17307) — needs provider snapshot fields Moatless does not publish. - **Muse Code native provider** (pingdotgg#17082), **JetBrains over SSH** (pingdotgg#17271) — upstream server/desktop runtime. ## Backend behavior to consider reproducing in Moatless - Settle as soon as branch status sees the PR merge (pingdotgg#17148, `ThreadSettlementReactor.ts`); an agent can settle its own thread at turn end (pingdotgg#17145). - A message sent during a rollback no longer undoes it (pingdotgg#17079); held queued wakes no longer keep delegated tasks running (pingdotgg#17028). - Long-thread message sync paged faster (pingdotgg#17387); shell snapshot decode no longer blocks other DB reads (pingdotgg#17141); ACP tool updates no longer persist a snapshot per chunk (pingdotgg#16682). - Agent browser tools stop bloating history and respect tab ownership (pingdotgg#16956); authenticated GitHub Enterprise hosts recognised (pingdotgg#11059); session lifetime enforced (pingdotgg#17370). All recorded in `docs/fork/gaps.md`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --- Moatless task: https://moatless.soaplabstest.com/tasks/571512c6-b6a0-4727-943d-231929222fc2
