Changes since last release

Upstream (v1.14271.0) - 2 patches fixed, all 52 apply

  • Version bump v1.13576.4 -> v1.14271.0 (~700 builds, full re-minify). Routine re-minify release for Linux: no new platform gates lock out a Linux feature, no new native modules, no new built-in MCP servers, and the Cowork RPC contract is unchanged in both directions. Two patches needed work for the re-minified bundle.
  • fix_cowork_linux: fixed C2's idempotency backreference. The C2 "bundle lookup alias" fallback asserts upstream's hardcoded-win32 VM-bundle lookup ((<var>=<map>.files["win32"])!=null&&<var>[arch]) is present, but the deref var was hardcoded as literal r; re-minify renamed it r -> i, so the assertion stopped matching and C2 reported FAIL. Now captures the deref var and backreferences it so it tracks the rename.
  • fix_browser_tools_linux: rewrote 3 sub-patches for a real upstream refactor. The Chrome native-host install path was restructured, not just renamed: the per-browser install loop is gone, and the manifest is now written to a single userData/ChromeNativeHost dir on all platforms (which Chrome/Chromium never read on Linux), while the per-browser enumerator became uninstall-only. The binary-path resolver and Chrome user-data-dir lookup likewise collapsed to flat win-only forms. Rewrote Patch A (binary path: inject Linux ~/.claude/chrome/chrome-native-host short-circuit), Patch B (reuse the manifest writer to install into all 6 real Linux NativeMessagingHosts dirs at the start of the installer), and Patch C (return the 5 Linux browser user-data dirs). This native-host area is structurally volatile - watch it on the next release.
  • No baseline-doc internals moved structurally beyond the usual minified-name churn; flag/ion-dist/platform-gate baselines updated with the new function names, config-chunk hash, and gate counts (see below). enable_local_agent_mode.nim (all 25 sub-patches) and fix_ion_dist_linux.nim apply unchanged.

New patch: suppress the false "Download a one-time package" agent-mode banner on Linux native

  • New fix_cowork_download_status_linux.nim (52 patches total): the Cowork "Get set up for agent mode - Download a one-time package" banner no longer appears on Linux in native backend mode. Desktop decides the agent-mode VM-image download status locally (it stopped calling the daemon RPC for this in v1.7196.0) via getDownloadStatus(){return ...?Downloading:p5()?Ready:NotDownloaded}, where p5() looks for the claudevm.bundle VM image on disk. On Linux native there is no VM image (Cowork runs the claude CLI on the host via claude-cowork-service), so the check always reported NotDownloaded and the remote claude.ai UI rendered a misleading "you're not set up" banner - even though Cowork works (sessions spawn and turns complete behind the banner). The patch rewrites getDownloadStatus so Linux native returns the enum's Ready; the original expression is preserved byte-for-byte for win32/darwin and Linux-KVM, where the guest image genuinely must be downloaded. Gated on process.platform==="linux"&&!globalThis.__coworkKvmMode (the KVM flag the cowork mode preamble already sets), so it never suppresses a legitimate KVM download prompt. Not 3p/enterprise-specific - it applies to 1p and 3p alike; it was first noticed in a gateway enterprise.json setup but a plain 1p Linux native user hits the identical false banner. Anchored on the unique getDownloadStatus(){return ...} method with the enum var captured by backreference (verified to survive the v1.14271.0 re-minify: xX/p5/eN -> Z5/Rz/mM); idempotency asserts the patched end-state.

Forward-looking audit fixes (patches + CI hardening, verified against v1.13576.4)

A full audit of patches/docs/CI against the current bundle found the suite healthy (51/51 apply, Cowork contract intact in both native and KVM modes, no new Linux gaps). Four items were worth fixing, all low-risk:

  • fix_quick_entry_ready_wayland: fixed a latent runtime bug. The replacement hardcoded a logger (R.error) that does not exist at the patched call site (the live logger is S); the patch applied cleanly and passed node --check, but a rejected ready-to-show promise would throw a ReferenceError in the very catch meant to swallow it. Now captures and reuses the upstream logger var + catch param so it survives re-minifies.
  • fix_imagine_linux: retargeted Patch C to the renamed flag. The Visualize/Imagine CCD gate 2204227020 was renamed to 3516166472 upstream, so Patch C had silently become a no-op (its standalone uses, including the read_widget_context tool registration, were no longer forced ON). Retargeted to the new ID. Also rewrote the Patch B/C idempotency checks to assert the patched end-state and fail loudly if the flag disappears, instead of treating flag-absence as success.
  • fix_native_frame_renderer: converted to a regression guard. Upstream upstreamed the fix (the main-window title-bar component now returns null natively), so the patch had been silently no-opping via an accidental guard. It now positively asserts the upstream null short-circuit and fails the build if a future release reintroduces the pointer-absorbing drag region.
  • CI: glibc floors are now enforced, not just logged. The node-pty rebuild asserts the GLIBC_2.31 floor (Debian 11 / Ubuntu 22.04) and fails loudly instead of silently shipping an un-rebuilt binary when version detection fails; the aarch64 kwin-portal-bridge gained the same objdump-based GLIBC_2.39 gate the x86_64 binary already had.

Docs: added the missing fix_open_in_editor_linux row to the README patch table and corrected the obsolete fix_native_frame_renderer row; noted the 2204227020 -> 3516166472 rename and fixed contradictory version headers in CLAUDE_FEATURE_FLAGS.md. CLAUDE.md gained a strictness rule forbidding false-success reporting - an "already patched" line must assert the patched end-state, never the mere absence of the pre-patch pattern.

Upstream (v1.13576.4) - build bump, no patch work

  • Version bump v1.13576.1 -> v1.13576.4 (patch-level rebuild of build 13576, hash 414f858c). Re-minify only; bundle functionally identical.
  • All 52 patches apply unchanged. Package built cleanly; node --check passes. The lone validator "FAIL" (fix_ion_dist_linux) is a manual-extract artifact - ion-dist lives in the MSIX resources, not app.asar; the patch applies fine against the extracted SPA.
  • No semantic changes vs v1.13576.1: platform-conditional counts (linux 10, darwin 77, win32 +1 vendored path helper), Agent SDK copies (0.3.174 / 0.3.177), built-in MCP servers (1), and all fragile anchors are unchanged - the diff is pure minified-identifier churn.
  • No baseline-doc changes. Bumped .upstream-version -> 1.13576.4.

Built-in terminal fixed (re: #143)

  • New fix_terminal_shell_linux.nim (51 patches total): the built-in agent/Cowork terminal now spawns a Linux shell instead of PowerShell. Upstream hardcodes the node-pty shell to powershell.exe on every platform, so on Linux execvp(3) fails and the PTY dies instantly ("Shell exited." / exit code 1). The patch rewrites only the shell string into a platform-aware ternary, anchored on the sole shell:"powershell.exe" occurrence. Thanks to Yannick Schäfer (@boommasterxd) for the fix (#144).
  • Off-Windows shell selection falls back $SHELL → /bin/bash → /bin/sh. The /bin/sh tier was added on top of the PR for NixOS (Nix flake target), which ships no /bin/bash by default; a runtime require("fs").existsSync check keeps the PTY from going dead when $SHELL is unset.
