Move volatile current time and middle-pane data out of the system prompt and into a hidden userMessageContext stored on each user message. Reconstruct the LLM-facing message from this persisted context so older conversation turns remain stable across later requests while UI-facing content stays unchanged.
Keep finite branch instructions such as voice, search, code mode, agent notes, and workdir behavior in the system prompt so each conversation can still benefit from reusable prompt-cache prefixes.
* feat: add in-chat code mode toggle with claude/codex swap
* feat: show agent and add swap-and-retry on acpx permission card
* style: reorder permission card buttons (approve, deny, swap)
* feat: add tooltips to composer plus and web search buttons
* feat: add code mode settings tab with agent install/auth checks
* feat: show sign-in command when agent installed but signed out
* style: refine code-mode permission and command block UX
- Render permission block before the command block
- Collapse permission details after a response; click header to expand
- Drop status icons/badge; use minimal green / bold red blocks
- Auto-collapse the running command block once it completes
* feat: rotating progress labels for code-mode commands; darker tool borders
- Code-mode (acpx) command block shows status-aware labels: rotating
'Working on the task…' phrases (5s each, holding on the last) while
running, then 'Completed the task' / "Couldn't complete the task"
- Darken outer border on all tool blocks in light and dark modes
* fix: detect Claude Code sign-in via macOS Keychain
On macOS, Claude Code stores OAuth credentials in the login Keychain
(service 'Claude Code-credentials'), not in ~/.claude/.credentials.json.
Read the Keychain as a fallback so signed-in Mac users are detected.
* feat: persistent per-chat sessions for code-mode coding agents
- Use a named acpx session (rowboat-<runId>) per chat so follow-up
coding requests resume the same agent and keep context
- Create the session once at chat start (sessions new --name), then
prompt with -s <name>; reuse on follow-ups (no re-create)
- Drop the redundant in-chat 'reply yes' confirmation (the executeCommand
permission card is the confirmation)
- Code-mode output uses plain-text paths (overrides global filepath rule)
- On not-installed/auth errors, point user to Settings -> Code Mode
* fix: code-mode session creation uses idempotent ensure, run sequentially
- Use 'sessions ensure --name' instead of 'sessions new' so reopening a
chat resumes the existing session instead of erroring on a name clash
- Create the session and run the prompt as separate sequential calls so
the permission/command blocks render one at a time (not all at once)
* fix: reliable Claude Code session resume on Windows (avoid claude.cmd EINVAL)
Resuming a code-mode chat after restarting the app spawns a fresh ACP
agent. On Windows + Node >=20.12 the bridge spawning claude.cmd throws
EINVAL, so the session queue owner fails to start. Rowboat injects
CLAUDE_CODE_EXECUTABLE=claude.exe to dodge this, but the override didn't
reliably reach the spawn. Windows-only; no-op on macOS/Linux.
- executeCommand now accepts an env override and the non-abortable
fallback path passes it through (was silently dropped)
- resolveClaudeExeOnWindows also scans known npm/pnpm/volta global bin
dirs, not just PATH (Electron's runtime PATH can omit them)
- add --timeout 600 to acpx prompt commands so a genuine stall fails
cleanly instead of hanging on 'Running' forever
When the app launches after the access token has expired, the Gmail and
Calendar sync loops both try to refresh at the same instant. The backend
dedup returns 429 to whichever request arrives second, and we were
treating that 429 as a permanent failure — writing an error into
oauth.json that surfaces in the UI as "Needs reconnect", even though
the tokens are valid and the other refresh succeeded.
Two changes address this:
- GoogleClientFactory now serializes concurrent getClient() callers
end-to-end, so Gmail and Calendar share a single refresh round-trip
instead of racing the backend.
- A 429 (or 5xx) from the refresh API is now classified as transient:
we leave stored tokens and the in-memory cache alone and let the
next sync tick retry, rather than flagging the user for reconnect.
Refresh logs now include enough detail (time-since-expiry, new TTL,
cause chain on failure) to diagnose the next class of issue from a
single user's log.

Replace workspace-scoped builtin file tools with general-purpose file-* tools that accept relative, absolute, and ~/ paths. Relative paths still resolve against the configured workdir.
File operations within the workdir are auto-approved. File operations outside the workdir now emit file permission metadata and require user approval, with support for once, session, and persistent grants.
Add a shared filesystem layer for text-focused read/write/edit/list/search operations, including binary-file safeguards for text reads. parseFile and LLMParse continue to read file buffers for document/image parsing.
Update copilot prompts, background/live-note agents, knowledge workflows, and renderer labels/UI to use the new file-* tool surface and permission details.
Add package-local Vitest setup for @x/core with colocated filesystem unit tests covering path resolution, canonical permission paths, binary detection, read/write/edit behavior, glob, and grep.
* added send, archive and delete
* fix scopes
* added replyall, cc, bcc etc
* - Added scope-aware Gmail status via gmail:getConnectionStatus, so the email empty state can
distinguish “not connected” from “connected but missing new Gmail scope.”
- Hardened Gmail send header construction against CR/LF header injection.
- Switched MIME parts from invalid UTF-8 7bit bodies to base64-encoded UTF-8 parts.
- Made forward send as a new message instead of attaching it to the original thread, and included
forwarded message content.
- Changed archive/delete UI behavior to remove the thread only after Gmail confirms success.

* fix: fall back to next port when OAuth callback server can't bind 8080
On Windows with Hyper-V/WSL2/Docker, port 8080 is often reserved by the
OS (EACCES) or already in use (EADDRINUSE), making sign-in completely
impossible. The app now scans 8080–8089 and binds the first available
port. For DCR providers, a stale registration locked to a blocked port
is detected and cleared so the client re-registers on the new port.
Static-client providers (Google BYOK) keep fixed-port behaviour with a
clear error message instead of a raw Node.js exception.
* fix: keep createAuthServer fixed-port by default, opt-in fallback
Address review feedback:
- Flip createAuthServer default to fixed-port; fallback is now opt-in via
{ fallback: true }. Composio (composio-handler.ts) keeps exact-port
semantics with no code change — only the Rowboat sign-in call site,
which builds its redirect URI from the actual bound port, opts in.
- Wrap post-bind setup (DCR, PKCE, auth URL) in try/catch and close the
server on any failure so the port is released for retries.
* fix: clear stale DCR registration when bound port differs from start port
Attach the current analytics use-case context to Rowboat gateway requests so backend billing generation rows can capture use_case, sub_use_case, and agent_name.
Wrap streamed agent calls and direct instrumented LLM call sites in explicit use-case context to keep metadata available when provider requests are created.
Add a read-only TipTap-backed RichMarkdownViewer and use it for Background Tasks output so rendered index.md files can display the same rich fenced blocks as notes, including email, calendar, chart, table, image, embed, transcript, and Mermaid blocks.
Keep the existing Source/Rendered toggle for raw markdown inspection, and hide editor-only delete controls in read-only output.
Move the rich block format examples out of the LiveNote-only prompt and into the shared knowledge note style guide. This gives both LiveNote and Background Task agents the same canonical renderer contract, including exact fenced-code schemas for rich Markdown blocks and the rule to avoid emitting task blocks as agent output.

- npm run build in apps/x/apps/renderer
- npm run build in apps/x/packages/core

Adds Background Tasks — recurring background agents the user can set up to
either keep a digest current (daily email summary, top HN stories, weather
brief) or perform a recurring action (draft a reply, post to Slack, call an
API). Each task is a persistent set of instructions plus optional triggers
(schedule, time-of-day window, or matching incoming Gmail / calendar event).
The agent reads the verbs in the instructions on every run and picks the
right mode automatically.
User-facing surfaces:
- New "Background tasks" entry in the sidebar, with a table listing every
task, its schedule, last run, and an active toggle.
- A detail page per task with a max-width reader showing the task's
current output and a control sidebar for editing instructions, triggers,
and reviewing run history.
- "New task" can open in a free-form box where the user describes what they
want and Copilot sets it up end-to-end, or in a structured form for
manual setup.
- "Edit with Copilot" hand-off from the detail view, pre-seeded with the
task's context.
Under the hood:
- The event pipeline that previously powered live-notes is now a generic
consumer registry. Live-notes and background tasks both subscribe;
incoming events are routed to candidates from both concurrently.
- Schedule helpers and the agent-message trigger block are factored out of
live-notes into shared modules. Both features use the same building
blocks now.
- Copilot's proactive routing is reframed: anything recurring (cadence
words, watch / monitor verbs, action verbs, event-conditional asks) now
flows to background tasks. Live-notes load only on explicit mention.
- A small reliability fix for the run-creation fallback chain: an
empty-string model/provider passed by an LLM tool call now correctly
falls through to the default instead of being persisted as a real value.

Folds the multi-`track:`-array model into one `live:` block per note: a single
persistent objective the live-note agent maintains, plus an optional triggers
object (`cronExpr` / `windows` / `eventMatchCriteria`, each independently
optional). A note is now passive or live — no per-track scopes, no section
ownership contract, no `once` trigger. The agent owns the whole body and makes
patch-style incremental edits per run.
Highlights:
- Schema: `track:` array → single `live:` object (`packages/shared/src/live-note.ts`).
- Runtime: scheduler / event processor / runner under `core/knowledge/live-note/`,
with split `lastAttemptAt` (every run, drives 5-min backoff) vs `lastRunAt`
(success only, anchors cycles). `throwOnError` on agent runs surfaces LLM /
billing failures into `lastRunError`.
- Today.md: regenerated by template v2 (single objective covering overview /
calendar / emails / what-you-missed / priorities; existing files renamed to
`Today.md.bkp.<stamp>`).
- Renderer: `LiveNoteSidebar` mounts inside the editor row (no chat overlap,
auto-closes on note switch); toolbar Radio button becomes a status pill;
`LiveNotesView` replaces background-agents view.
- Copilot: new `live-note` skill with act-first stance, default folder/cadence
pickers, and a non-negotiable rule to extend an existing objective rather
than add a second one. Shared `KNOWLEDGE_NOTE_STYLE_GUIDE` enforces
terse-and-scannable writing across `doc-collab` and the live-note agent.
- Analytics: `track_block` use-case → `live_note_agent`; trigger
(`manual` / `cron` / `window` / `event`) becomes the Pass-2 sub-use-case,
alongside `routing` for Pass 1. Legacy run files with the old value are
read-mapped via `LegacyStartEvent` so they stay openable in the runs list.
Hard cutover — no back-compat shims for legacy `track:` frontmatter arrays.

In rowboat OAuth mode the OAuth2Client is built without a refresh_token
because refreshes go through the api. google-auth-library's default
5-minute eagerRefreshThresholdMillis caused it to attempt a refresh
whenever a Gmail call landed within 5 minutes of token expiry, throwing
"No refresh token is set." before our proactive 60s-margin refresh
could run. Disabling the eager window lets our getClient() refresh path
own all refreshes as the comment intends.

Recasts the old "track blocks" as "tracks" — directives stored in a
note's frontmatter rather than inline YAML fences and HTML-comment
target regions. The motivation is UX: the inline anatomy made notes
feel like config, leaked into the editing surface, and competed with
the writing flow. Frontmatter is invisible to the body editor, so
moving directives there reclaims the body as just markdown the user
wrote.
The runtime agent now edits the note body freely via standard
workspace tools rather than rewriting a constrained target region.
Each track's instruction names an H2 section to own; the agent
finds or creates that section, updates only its content, and
self-heals position on subsequent runs.
Triggers are now a unified array per track. cron / window / once /
event in any combination, including multi-trigger setups (the
flagship example: a priorities track that rebuilds at three
day-windows and reacts to incoming gmail / calendar events).
window is forgiving — fires once per day anywhere inside its
band — so users opening the app late in the morning still get the
morning run.
The chip-in-editor is gone. Tracks are managed from a right-side
sidebar opened by a Radio-icon button at the top-right of the
editor toolbar. Cmd+K is no longer a Copilot entry point — search-
only — pending a more intuitive invocation surface later.
Today.md ships as the flagship demo of what tracks can do, with a
versioned migration system so future template updates roll out
cleanly to existing users (existing body preserved, old version
backed up).
Copilot is tuned to listen for any signal that the user wants
something dynamic — not just the literal word "track". Strong
phrasings get acted on directly; one-off questions about decaying
information are answered first and then offered as a track. New or
edited tracks run once by default so the user immediately sees
content.

Signed-in users can now connect Gmail and Calendar directly through
Rowboat instead of going through Composio. Cleaner connection, no
third-party in the data path.
How it works:
- Click "Connect Google" anywhere it appears (sidebar, onboarding,
settings) and the system browser opens to a Rowboat-hosted page.
Authorize Google there and the app picks up the connection
automatically — no client id or secret to paste.
- Token refresh happens through Rowboat's backend, so Google
credentials never need to live on the user's machine.
- Disconnect cleanly revokes access on Google's side too.
Migration for existing Composio users:
- A one-time modal explains that we've moved off Composio and asks the
user to reconnect Google directly.
- Their old Composio Gmail / Calendar connections are disconnected
automatically when the modal first appears.
- All previously-synced emails and calendar events are preserved on
disk — the new connection picks up where Composio left off rather
than re-downloading the last week from scratch.
- "I'll do this later" dismisses the modal permanently; the user can
still reconnect anytime via the connectors UI. (Sync stops in the
meantime; nothing is deleted.)
Other coverage:
- BYOK mode (users who paste their own Google client id + secret) is
unchanged — same modal, same local OAuth flow, same behavior.
- Composio integrations for non-Google services (Slack, Linear, etc.)
are unaffected. Only the Gmail and Calendar paths moved.
- The "Connect Google" button label and connection state now apply
uniformly to Gmail + Calendar (one OAuth grant covers both).

Adds INotificationService with an Electron implementation, plus a deep-link
dispatcher (rowboat://) for routing notification clicks back into the app.
Notifications:
- New `notify-user` skill + builtin tool. Title, message, optional primary
link, optional secondary actions. Supports https:// (opens in browser) and
rowboat:// (opens in app) targets.
- ElectronNotificationService holds strong refs to active Notification
instances so click handlers survive GC (otherwise macOS click silently
no-ops).
- Calendar meeting notifier fires 1-min warnings with "take notes" /
"join + take notes" actions backed by deep links.
Deep links (rowboat://):
- forge.config.cjs declares the protocol; main.ts wires single-instance
lock, setAsDefaultProtocolClient, open-url (mac), second-instance (win/
linux), and first-launch argv extraction.
- New deeplink.ts dispatcher with dispatchUrl(url): main-handled actions
(rowboat://action?type=...) vs renderer navigation (rowboat://open?...)
via app:openUrl IPC. Includes pending-URL buffering for first-launch
delivery before the renderer is ready.
- Renderer parseDeepLink supports file / chat / graph / task /
suggested-topics targets.
- New app:consumePendingDeepLink IPC for renderer one-time drain on mount.
Refactor: extractConferenceLink moved out of calendar-block.tsx into
shared lib/calendar-event.ts (used by both the block and the take-notes
deep-link handler)
