fix(desktop): quiet gate for workspace switches instead of boot splash#1449
Merged
Conversation
Switching workspaces via the rail replayed the full cold-boot splash
("Setting up your workspace..." with its rise animation) for the brief
moment apply_workspace runs, making every switch jarring. Latch once the
workspace key deviates from its cold-boot value and render a quiet gate
(plain background, spinner only after 300ms) for switches. Cold boot and
first-run onboarding keep the existing splash.
Adds an applyWorkspaceDelayMs mock knob so the e2e test can observe the
gate deterministically.

readiness.rs grew by 1 line (cargo fmt reformatted two long closures inline after rebase). tauri.ts grew by 26 lines from PRs that landed on main (#1452, #1416, #1449 and others) between our prior base and this rebase tip (e42dae3).

Problem
With the workspace rail, every workspace switch flashed the full cold-boot splash — "Setting up your workspace..." with its character-rise animation replaying from zero — for the brief moment
apply_workspaceruns. Fast switches got a jarring full-screen blast.Fix
App.tsxlatches once the composite workspace key deviates from its cold-boot value. From then on, loading phases are in-app switches and render a new quietWorkspaceSwitchGate: plain themed background, spinner only if the switch takes >300ms. Typical switches are now just a brief neutral blink.Unchanged:
OnboardingLoadingGate.Testing
workspace-rail.spec.ts: slowsapply_workspacevia a newapplyWorkspaceDelayMsmock knob, asserts cold boot shows the splash, then asserts a switch shows the quiet gate and the splash never reappears.just desktop-typecheck,just desktop-checkgreen.channels.spec.ts:867,scroll-history.spec.ts:288,timeline-no-shift.spec.ts:205) are scroll-timing specs that fail identically on unmodified main (verified by stashing this change and rerunning) — pre-existing flakes, unrelated.
