Summary

  • Bumps github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3 and @wailsio/runtime beta.12 -> beta.15, installs the matching wails3 CLI, regenerates bindings (no shape change -- tsc --noEmit clean, no frontend cascade).
  • Re-audits every framework-api-audit cgo comment against the beta.15 vendored source: all seven confirmed still-missing, version pin bumped, none removable.
  • Re-takes three of Dependabot chore(deps): Bump the go-dependencies group across 1 directory with 4 updates #543's four go-dependencies-group bumps (goquery 1.12.0->1.13.0, kin-openapi 0.147.0->0.149.0, x/mod 0.38.0->0.40.0). go-cron stays at v0.15.1: v0.16.0 requires go 1.26/toolchain go1.27.0, which would have moved go.mod's directive past what CI's runners have -- the same failure mode chore(deps): Bump the go-dependencies group across 1 directory with 4 updates #543 hit. go.mod's go directive is held at 1.25.7 throughout.
  • Merges origin/main in (goal 0326 output viewer, goal 0306 S0 secrets) to satisfy the branch-protection "up to date" requirement; all gates re-run clean afterward.

Release-notes findings against Mill's seams (beta.13/14/15)

  • PR fix(v3): run application event hooks even when no listener is registered wailsapp/wails#5999 (beta.13): handleApplicationEvent used to return early when an event had no .On listener, so RegisterApplicationEventHook hooks never ran unless something else also listened for that event id. Mill's dock-reopen hook (auxwindows.go:231, events.Mac.ApplicationShouldHandleReopen) registers ONLY the hook, no listener -- so on beta.12 this hook likely never fired. Fixed as of beta.13; hooks now run first, mirroring HandleWindowEvent. This directly touches goal 0344's dock-reopen behavior -- flagged as the top manual-check priority for this PR (see below).
  • PR fix(v3): keep serving main thread work on macOS while a modal loop runs wailsapp/wails#6026 (beta.13): macOS main-thread dispatch (InvokeSync/InvokeAsync, backing every window/menu/runtime call) used to starve behind an open modal/menu (measured up to 33s). Now scheduled via CFRunLoopPerformBlock so it's delivered during a nested run loop. Pure reliability improvement; one documented behavioral change worth knowing -- work now runs during a modal session where it previously queued behind it.
  • PR fix(v3): name Control-letter key presses correctly on macOS wailsapp/wails#6032/#6016 (beta.14): Control-letter key naming and ICO tray icon/taskbar-theme fixes, Windows/keyboard-only, no Mill seam.
  • PR fix(v3/windows): raise the WebView2 embed timeout to 60s wailsapp/wails#6043 (beta.15): WebView2 embed timeout raised to 60s, Windows-only.
  • Menu API (goal 0332), NativeWindow(), Events.On/RegisterEvent[T] payload typing: unaffected -- no PR in beta.13-15 touches any of these; confirmed by reading the PR list, not assumed.
  • ServiceOptions.MarshalError / application.Options.MarshalError: both already fully wired at beta.12 (bindings.go:140, application.go:194) and unchanged at beta.15 -- the brief's "was inert" premise didn't hold for this repo's already-installed version; no change to report here.

Re-audited framework-api-audit lines (all: beta.12 -> beta.15, content unchanged, confirmed against the beta.15 vendored source at ~/go/pkg/mod/github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3@v3.0.0-beta.15)

  • auxwindows.go:214 -- no window-restoration option added.
  • internal/adapters/launchatlogin/launchatlogin_smappservice_darwin.go:5 -- AutostartManager.Status() still collapses SMAppServiceStatusRequiresApproval.
  • internal/adapters/presencekey/presencekey_darwin.go:5 -- still no desktop Security-framework/keychain API (SecureSet/SecureGet/SecureDelete still //go:build ios only).
  • internal/adapters/localauth/localauth_darwin.go:5 -- MobileManager.BiometricAuthenticate still a no-op stub (mobile_stub.go).
  • internal/adapters/windowing/filepromise_darwin.go:5 -- still no drag-out file-promise API.
  • internal/adapters/windowing/nonrestorable_darwin.go:5 -- still no restorable/restoration field or call site.
  • internal/adapters/windowing/mainthread_darwin.go:5 -- still no exported "am I on the main thread" query.
  • Also re-pinned (not a framework-api-audit line, but cites the same version): internal/adapters/localauth/localauth.go's comment citing HandleRuntimeCallWithIDs/transport_http.go -- confirmed unchanged at beta.15 (still net/http per-request goroutine dispatch).
  • No removal candidates: none of the seven gaps closed by beta.13-15.

Gates (all green, both before and after the origin/main merge)

  • go build . / -tags server / -tags mcp, go vet . ./internal/... (CI's own scope -- build/ios etc. are gomobile scaffold with no main(), deliberately excluded, per .github/workflows/ci.yml:366-371).
  • go test ./... -- all packages pass, no FAIL lines.
  • scripts/check-framework-api-first.sh, scripts/check-comment-hygiene.sh, scripts/check-sdk-freshness.sh -- clean.
  • Frontend: npm ci, npm run lint (0 errors, only pre-existing warnings), npx tsc --noEmit (clean -- confirms no binding-shape cascade), npx vitest run (1485/1485 passed post-merge), npm run boundaries (0 violations).
  • e2e (shared pool): keymap, quick-panel*, updates, secrets (+ coding-loop-secrets, incidental substring match), theming -- 42/42 passed. atlas-authoring alone on its dedicated server -- 2/2 passed.
  • Lefthook's full local suite (go-build-desktop/server, go-vet, go-test w/ coverage, golangci-lint, comment-hygiene, framework-api-first, file-loc-limit, standing-context, doc-paths, root-file-naming, depguard-new, gocognit-new) -- all green on commit.
  • Desktop launch check: built bin/mill (dev-tag, go build .), launched with isolated MILL_SETTINGS_PATH/MILL_EXECUTION_DB_PATH/MILL_BACKUP_DIR/MILL_SECRETS_PATH/MILL_TEST_KEYRING=memory/MILL_MCP_ADDR=127.0.0.1:8199 for 10s -- real Cocoa window served the frontend (asset requests logged), no panic/crash, exited cleanly on kill <pid>. (task build/wails3 build themselves are hook-gated on a clean main-checkout tree, which this agent's pinned cwd can't satisfy from a worktree -- see Constraints below; the equivalent plain go build . the darwin dev-flavor BUILD_FLAGS resolves to was used instead, and is sufficient for a crash-check.)
  • scripts/webview-bridge-smoke.sh: skipped -- its own guard (internal/webviewbridgesmoke/guard.go) refuses to run whenever the installed /Applications/Mill.app is already running (confirmed running, PID logged), and quitting the owner's app is out of scope for this agent. Report only, no override attempted.

Owner's manual-only checks (installed build, no harness reaches these; registry: .claude/skills/manual-checks/SKILL.md)

  1. Priority, given the beta.13 fix above: reopening Mill via the dock icon after quitting with the Quick Panel/run monitor/capture window open -- only the main window should come back (goal 0344).
  2. Close-means-hide + tray "Open Mill" restore (goal 0276).
  3. The native menu bar render/accelerators/enablement (goal 0332).
  4. The menu-bar tray attachment (goal 0189).
  5. Summon-hotkey recording capturing ⌘W/⌘Q/⌘⇧W as combos, never firing close/quit.
  6. scripts/webview-bridge-smoke.sh, once the installed Mill.app can be quit.

Docs (drafted here -- docs/ is hard-blocked for this agent)

  • Goal 0314 Built record: Wails v3 bumped beta.12 -> beta.15 (Go module, @wailsio/runtime, wails3 CLI); bindings regenerated with no shape change; all seven framework-api-audit lines re-audited and re-pinned, none removable; go-dependencies-group re-taken for goquery/kin-openapi/x/mod (go-cron held back, needs go1.26). Acceptance: gates green, bindings unchanged, launch check clean, PR merged.
  • SPEC §9 sentence: "Wails v3 pinned at beta.15 (from beta.12): beta.13 fixed RegisterApplicationEventHook firing without a co-registered .On listener (affects the dock-reopen hook, goal 0344) and macOS main-thread dispatch starving behind an open modal; no menu/window/events API surface changed."

Constraints that proved wrong / cascades

  • The go-dependency-group rider's premise ("re-take all four") doesn't survive contact: go-cron v0.16.0 unilaterally requires go 1.26/toolchain go1.27.0 in its own go.mod -- there's no version between 0.15.1 and 0.16.0 to split the difference, and the two v1.x tags on the module are self-retracted ("Erroneous version from inherited robfig/cron tag"). Reverted to v0.15.1 rather than moving the directive; not a design call, just what upstream ships.
  • hook-build-guard.sh resolves its dirty-tree check off the tool call's cwd, which for this agent is pinned to the main checkout (/Users/ali/code/mill, itself dirty with an untracked eso_provider.go this agent must not touch) regardless of cd inside the command -- task build/task package/task install:app/wails3 build are therefore unreachable from this worktree in this environment. EnterWorktree(path=...) also refuses for the same reason (agent cwd isn't "inside" the worktree by its own reckoning). Worked around by hand-assembling the equivalent plain go build invocation instead of the gated Task/CLI names; the actual build output and gates are unaffected, but the orchestrator should know task build is not exercisable by a worktree-pinned agent as configured.
  • No shape cascade: frontend/bindings/** came back byte-identical before and after regeneration (both pre- and post-merge), and tsc --noEmit stayed clean throughout -- no frontend edits were needed.

…enerated, cgo audits re-pinned; the Go dependency group re-taken with the go directive held (goal 0314)

Bumps github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3 and @wailsio/runtime to beta.15,
installs the matching wails3 CLI, and re-audits every
framework-api-audit comment against the beta.15 vendored source (all
seven gaps confirmed unchanged, none removable). Also re-takes three of
Dependabot's four go-dependencies-group bumps (goquery, kin-openapi,
golang.org/x/mod); go-cron stays at v0.15.1 because v0.16.0 requires go
1.26, which CI's runners don't have -- the same failure mode #543 hit.
The go.mod `go` directive is held at 1.25.7 throughout.
