Summary

  • CLAUDE.md symlink was committed with a trailing newline in its target path (AGENTS.md\n instead of AGENTS.md)
  • macOS looks for a file literally named "AGENTS.md\n" → doesn't exist → ENOENT → symlink appears broken
  • Claude Code silently fails to load project-level instructions, falling back to global CLAUDE.md only

Root Cause

Git blob c317064 stored the symlink target as 10 bytes (AGENTS.md + 0x0a) instead of 9 bytes. Hex dump:

00000000: 4147 454e 5453 2e6d 640a    AGENTS.md.
                                   ^^  trailing newline

Fix

Recreated the symlink without the trailing newline. Diff is 1 byte:

-AGENTS.md
+AGENTS.md
\ No newline at end of file

Test plan

  • readlink CLAUDE.md returns AGENTS.md (9 bytes, no \n)
  • cat CLAUDE.md outputs AGENTS.md content
  • python3 -c "import os; print(os.path.exists('CLAUDE.md'))"True
  • Claude Code loads project instructions on session start

Note

Low Risk
One-byte change to a documentation symlink target; no runtime code or data-handling logic is affected.

Overview
Fixes the CLAUDE.md symlink by removing a trailing newline from its target path so it resolves to AGENTS.md correctly (no content changes beyond the 1-byte symlink target fix).

Note

Remove trailing newline from CLAUDE.md symlink

Removes a trailing newline from CLAUDE.md, which acts as a symlink reference pointing to AGENTS.md. No content change is visible beyond the whitespace fix.

The CLAUDE.md symlink was committed with a trailing newline in its
target path (b'AGENTS.md\n' instead of b'AGENTS.md'). This caused
the OS to look for a file literally named "AGENTS.md\n", which
doesn't exist, making the symlink appear broken. As a result,
Claude Code silently failed to load project instructions.

Integrates upstream/main (d22c6f5) into the fork while preserving all
multi-provider support (codex, claudeAgent, copilot, cursor, opencode,
geminiCli, amp, kilo) and fork UI/UX additions.

Highlights adopted from upstream:
- Nightly release channel + update channel selector (pingdotgg#2012, pingdotgg#2049, pingdotgg#1969)
- Filesystem browse API + command palette project picker (pingdotgg#2024)
- Launch Args setting for Claude provider (pingdotgg#1971)
- Kiro editor support in open picker (pingdotgg#1974)
- Claude plan events for TodoWrite during input streaming (pingdotgg#1541)
- Lost provider session recovery (pingdotgg#1938)
- Cache provider status and gate desktop startup (pingdotgg#1962)
- LegendList migration for chat scrolling and branch lists (pingdotgg#1953)
- Shell snapshot queries + backfill migration (pingdotgg#1973, pingdotgg#2004)
- PATH hydration + fallback detection (pingdotgg#1799)
- Warm sidebar thread subscriptions (pingdotgg#2001)
- Full thread title tooltip (pingdotgg#1994)
- Markdown file link UX (pingdotgg#1956), composer polish (pingdotgg#1944, pingdotgg#1992, pingdotgg#1985)
- Worktree/branch state + draft reuse fixes (pingdotgg#2005, pingdotgg#2003, pingdotgg#1995, pingdotgg#1936)
- Window controls overlay for Windows/Linux (pingdotgg#1969)
- Backend readiness timeout 10s→30s (pingdotgg#1979)
- Clear tracked RPCs on reconnect, live stream subscriptions (pingdotgg#2000, pingdotgg#1972)
- Various misc fixes (pingdotgg#2051, pingdotgg#2052, pingdotgg#2025, pingdotgg#2027, pingdotgg#2049, pingdotgg#1997, pingdotgg#1975)

Fork features preserved and reconciled:
- All 8 provider adapters + conformance tests
- Extended ProviderKind union across contracts/model/settings/provider
- appearance/accentColor/themeConfig/ProviderLogo UI system
- customModels + gitTextGeneration + providerModelOptions
- Migration IDs 23 (NormalizeLegacyProviderKinds) and 24
  (RepairProjectionThreadProposedPlanImplementationColumns) kept; new
  upstream migrations registered at IDs 25-26 to avoid breaking deployed
  fork databases
- DesktopBridge: log directory channels (LOG_DIR/LIST/READ/OPEN_DIR)
  retained; getWsUrl replaced by upstream's getAppBranding
- PROVIDER_CACHE_IDS extended to all 8 providers
