The Mac app injects a 52px transparent titlebar, so native chrome centers
at y=26 while the 48px pane header centered its content at y=24, leaving
the session title/chip/actions 2px high. Native desktop shells now size
.chat-pane__header from --openclaw-native-titlebar-height (same 50px
fallback as .macos-titlebar-controls).
* feat(ui): fold the mobile navigation row into the chat title bar
On plain-browser mobile layouts the chat route drops the 58px shell topbar;
the pane title bar gains a leading nav-drawer toggle and a trailing
command-palette search button (~50px more chat). The shared mobile-nav
breakpoint moves into one module used by shell and chat; native shells and
non-chat routes keep today's chrome.
* improve(ui): anchor the workspace chip right after the session title
The chip now hugs the title text with the header's standard gap instead of
sitting at the far right; the action cluster claims the leftover width and
stays right-pinned. Where field-sizing is supported the rename input hugs
its text too, so the chip tracks the title while typing.
* chore(ui): keep hasNativeShellClass module-local
* feat(gateway): add sessions.files.reveal to open a session workspace on the gateway host
Resolves the session's workspace root server-side (same resolution as
sessions.files.list), refuses exec-node and cloud-worker placements, and
opens the directory with the platform opener. The opener helpers move out
of config.ts into a shared open-path module that config.openFile now uses.
* feat(ui): always-on chat title bar with inline rename and workspace menu
Every chat pane now renders its header: click the session title to rename
it inline (Enter commits via sessions.patch, Escape cancels), a workspace
chip names the session's checkout with reveal/copy-path/copy-branch
actions, and cloud-worker sessions show a globe. The single-pane floating
toggle cluster and the transcript's reserved titlebar drag band fold into
the header, which keeps native macOS window dragging.
* fix(ui): resolve title-bar session aliases and clear the collapsed-nav overlay
Live verification found two gaps: route aliases like ?session=main showed
the generic key-derived title instead of the session's label (resolve via
hello defaults + key equivalence, matching the pane), and the floating
sidebar-expand pill overlapped the header title on plain web while the nav
was collapsed (52px inset, mirroring the native-shell clearances).
* fix(ui): keep the protocol schema layer out of the Control UI startup bundle
The title-bar change made session-row-badges runtime-import the
gateway-protocol barrel for one classifier, dragging typebox and every
schema into startup JS (395 KiB gzip vs the 370 KiB budget). The placement
vocabulary now lives in a dependency-free session-placement-state module:
the schema union derives from it, the barrel re-exports it, and the UI
deep-imports it (startup back to 361.8 KiB).
* fix(gateway-protocol): keep SessionPlacementStateSchema statically typed
Type.Union over a mapped array loses tuple inference and collapses Static
to never; the literal list stays explicit with a compile-time guard tying
it to the shared SESSION_PLACEMENT_STATES vocabulary.
* chore(protocol): regenerate Swift/Kotlin bindings for sessions.files.reveal
* chore: narrow new exports flagged by the deadcode gate
* chore(i18n): leave generated locale artifacts to the locale-refresh workflow
The generated-artifact isolation gate (067635cb51) landed mid-flight;
source PRs now carry en.ts only.
* fix(macos): drag the window from split-view pane headers
In the macOS app, split-screen pane header rows (session title strip) now
start a native window drag instead of selecting the title text. The Control
UI posts an openclawWindowDrag script message on mousedown over passive
header chrome; the dashboard window validates the trusted main-frame source
and the in-flight left-mouse press before calling NSWindow.performDrag.
Pane headers are chrome, so they are also no longer text-selectable.
* refactor(macos): move the dashboard failure page out of the window controller
SwiftLint type_body_length: the drag-message handler pushed
DashboardWindowController past 800 lines; the failure-page HTML is
presentation-only and now lives in DashboardFailurePage.
* feat(ui): restore sidebar chrome and remove the pane workspace strip
Reverse course from #103426 on the app chrome: the left sidebar owns
brand, pinned navigation + More, New session, sessions, and the footer
(status dot, Settings, Docs, pairing, theme) again, and the desktop
topbar is gone. What stays from that PR: the dockable workspace rail
(right/bottom, drag or button), the in-flow split-pane headers, and
Cmd+B now hides the sidebar entirely (no 78px icon rail) with a
floating expand control.
The real target of the original request: the vertical icon strip at
each pane's right edge is deleted. A collapsed workspace rail renders
nothing; the toggle (with a changed-file badge) lives in the split-pane
header next to split/close, or floats at the top-right in single-pane
chat. Shift+Cmd+B still toggles.
Narrow native macOS windows (e.g. the in-app link browser splitting
the window) previously stacked 50px of injected titlebar padding on
top of the 58px drawer row; the web CSS now folds that into one
compact 58px row beside the traffic lights, with selectors that
outrank the rules shipped Mac apps inject.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles and docs map for sidebar restore
* fix(ui): bind showPaneHeader explicitly on the classic single pane
* chore(ui): reconcile locale metadata after rebase onto lobster wild cards
* feat(ui): move app chrome into a topbar and dock the session workspace rail
The desktop shell now uses a slim topbar for brand, primary navigation
(Chat + pinned routes + More menu), command-palette search, pairing,
theme, and Settings; the left column slims down to a sessions-only
panel (Cmd+B hides it entirely — the 78px icon rail is gone). Split
view drops the fixed geometry-mirroring toolbar for in-flow per-pane
headers. The session workspace rail can dock right or bottom inside
its pane — drag its header between edges or use the dock button — and
the collapsed strip's file glyph is now a real button (it used to be a
dead, button-looking span) with a changed-file count badge. The Mac
app's injected chrome CSS slims down accordingly; its drag-region
geometry is unchanged and the topbar brand strip stays passive under
it.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for topbar and workspace dock strings
* fix(ui): keep the native macOS drawer clear of the titlebar overlay
The narrow-width slide-over drawer sits fixed at the window top, over
the AppKit traffic lights and drag regions. The old Mac-app-injected
CSS padded .sidebar-shell for this; that rule moved web-side for the
desktop topbar, so restore drawer clearance here for both the app
drawer and the in-drawer settings sidebar.
* chore(ui): translate topbar and workspace dock strings; regen docs map
* feat(ui): drop the desktop top bar in favor of sidebar navigation
The Control UI top bar only rendered the OpenClaw › agent › page breadcrumb
on desktop, duplicating the sidebar. Desktop now renders no topbar row; the
row returns solely as the chat split toolbar's backdrop. Narrow viewports
keep the header (drawer toggle, brand, command-palette search) and now show
the brand across the whole drawer range. Routing already uses pushState, so
browser back/forward traverses navigation.
* feat(macos): add back/forward controls to the dashboard window
Native titlebar buttons next to the traffic lights drive WKWebView history,
which carries the Control UI's pushState navigation; enabled state tracks
canGoBack/canGoForward via KVO and trackpad swipe gestures are enabled too.
Back/forward traversals to entries from a replaced gateway endpoint cancel
silently instead of opening a dead URL in the system browser.
* fix(macos): keep the dashboard drag strip off the web content column
With the desktop topbar row removed, the 28px mid-window drag region sat on
top of the content column (chat thread has no top padding) and swallowed
clicks as window drags. Shrink it to a 12px edge strip; the sidebar region
over the reserved native-chrome padding stays the primary drag surface.
* fix(ui): align split-view toolbar segments with the pane edges they label
* fix(ui): track pane gutter and horizontal overflow in the split toolbar
* fix(ui): reset split toolbar scroll offset on mode flips and reserve docked terminal space
* fix(ui): scroll clipped split panes into view when their toolbar segment gains focus
