* fix(linux): draw the macOS tray icon from a template silhouette
AppKit renders menu bar template images from the alpha channel alone, so the
opaque rounded-tile 32x32.png painted a solid white square instead of the
mascot. Add a dedicated tray-template.svg and its 36px render, a silhouette
with the eyes knocked back out, and select it only on macOS. Its geometry
mirrors the native macOS app's CritterIconRenderer at rest so both clients
wear the same face; other platforms keep the full-color 32x32.png.
* chore(linux): drop the root changelog entry from the tray icon fix
CHANGELOG.md is release-owned in this repo (AGENTS.md) and `scripts/pr
prepare-run` rejects normal PRs that touch it; release generation derives
entries from merged PRs. The release-note context lives in the PR body and
the preceding commit message instead.
* feat(linux): add Quick Chat floating composer to the Tauri companion
- frameless transparent always-on-top quickchat window (on-demand, canvas
pattern), positioned top-third on the cursor monitor, CSS fade+zoom in/out
- global shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Space on X11 (GNOME reserves Alt+Space); tray
'Quick Chat' item is the Wayland entry point; blur/Esc/close-request hide
- sends via the CLI agent turn with --message-file staged 0600 (argv is
world-readable procfs) and cleaned up after the turn; failures surface as
desktop notifications; Ctrl+Enter also opens the dashboard
- default-agent identity chip (emoji/monogram) from agents list --json, 60s cache
- window-scoped capability + permission set; window-state denylist; docs
* chore(linux): register quickchat.js as a knip native-asset entry
The companion now rings the doorbell for gateway approvals: it polls pending
node and device pairing requests over the existing CLI seam on the connected
watchdog cadence, fires one native notification per new request when the
window is unfocused, and shows a pending count in the tray status line.
Approval itself stays in the dashboard/CLI (owner boundary).
Adds a CmdOrCtrl+Shift+O summon shortcut with a tray toggle whose opt-out
persists as a marker file (no config schema). The X11-only global-hotkey
backend is gated off on native Wayland sessions — the feature is omitted
rather than half-registered through XWayland; a portal implementation can
follow.
Single-instance + openclaw:// deep links (openclaw://dashboard opens and
connects the dashboard; the tiny URL contract is routed entirely in Rust), a
Start at Login tray toggle (tauri-plugin-autostart, default off), native
notifications for update-ready/update-available when the window is unfocused,
and window-state persistence (canvas window excluded). All official Tauri v2
plugins; cross-platform deps so the macOS/Windows test builds keep compiling.
Sparkle-parity self-update for the apps/linux companion: tauri-plugin-updater +
process, checked silently on launch and from a "Check for Updates" tray item /
manual trigger. AppImage installs download, verify the signed update, and wait
for a user-confirmed restart; package-managed (deb) installs get a release-page
notice instead of replacing files the system package manager owns. The
linux-app release workflow signs the AppImage and publishes a signed latest.json
manifest that the app verifies with the committed minisign public key.
New discovery.rs browses _openclaw-gw._tcp with a lifetime mdns-sd
browser, keeps a fullname-keyed snapshot (resolved updates replace,
goodbye/TTL removes), and mirrors the native clients' TXT contract and
direct-selection gate (resolved SRV endpoint routing; tailnetDns is a
hint only). The bootstrap page lists discovered gateways and connecting
navigates the dashboard WebView to the resolved endpoint, validated
against the live snapshot; remote selection cancels the local watchdog
so an in-flight local bootstrap cannot steal the WebView back.
