What's Changed

Release Notes

Custom app icons — Code-Auto now displays custom icons in the macOS dock instead of the default Electron icon. Icons switch automatically between dark and light variants based on system theme.
App branding — Application name set to "Code-Auto" for consistent identification in the dock and window title.
Theme-aware dock icons — Dock icon updates dynamically when switching between light and dark mode.

Open Project on startup — On first launch (or when no project is selected), the app prompts you to choose a project directory. The selected path is persisted across sessions.
Native folder picker — Uses the system’s native directory picker (via Electron IPC) for selecting project folders.
Recent projects — Quick access to recently opened projects for faster switching between workspaces.
Project-scoped operations — All tasks, worktrees, and agent logs are scoped to the selected project. The X-Project-Path header is sent with API requests to ensure correct project context.
Open Project Gate — If you dismiss the project selection modal, it won’t reappear until the next session. You can still open a project anytime via the sidebar button.

Fixed greyed-out columns on startup — Added default CSS variables for all workflow phases so columns render correctly before data loads.
Fixed task loading race conditions — Startup script now waits for the Next.js server and API to be ready before launching Electron. Task loading includes retry logic and visibilitychange listeners for more reliable loading.
Fixed API calls missing project context — All task-related fetch calls now use apiFetch, which sends the X-Project-Path header so the backend uses the correct project directory.

Edit blocked tasks — Tasks that fail during planning (e.g., "Connection stalled") can now be edited and restarted. A new Edit Task modal lets you change the title, description, CLI tool, CLI configuration, and human review settings, then restart planning.
Edit modal placement — Edit Task modal is rendered at the Kanban board level to avoid interference from drag-and-drop listeners on task cards.
Form data persistence — Edit modal form fields no longer revert when the task store refreshes from polling; initialization runs only when the modal opens.

Fixed unresponsive Cancel/Close buttons — Cancel and Close (X) buttons in the Edit Task modal now work correctly. Added type="button", stopPropagation, and onPointerDown handlers to prevent event interception by dnd-kit.
Theme-aware buttons — Copy Logs, Cancel, and Close buttons in modals (planning logs, task detail, edit task, new task) now use theme-based CSS variables and adapt correctly to light/dark mode.

Fixed CLI readiness layout shift — The CLI tool dropdown and readiness section (Amp/Cursor preflight) no longer cause layout jumps when loading. A wrapper reserves space for both from the first paint, and skeleton loaders are shown during adapter and readiness checks.
Fixed Cursor model visibility — "composer-1" and "auto" models now appear in the Cursor model selection dropdown. Removed filtering that excluded these models and added them to fallback options.

Fixed scope errors in start-development route — taskPersistence and projectDir are now passed explicitly to helper functions (executeSubtasksSequentially, waitForSubtaskCompletion, startAIReviewAutomatically, etc.) instead of relying on closure scope.

ESLint & Prettier — Linting and formatting configured with ESLint 9 (flat config) and Prettier. Pre-commit hooks run lint-staged on staged files.
TypeScript in pre-commit — tsc --noEmit runs before commits to catch type errors early.
Scripts refactor — start and build scripts updated for a desktop-first workflow. icon:build runs before start to generate theme-aware dock icons.
