The outer batch shell expanded the hook variable and control operators before terminal send-keys received them. Encode the probe for PowerShell so expansion happens inside the packaged terminal.
The desktop daemon resolved the CLI through a packaged module entrypoint that is not an executable outside the archive. Publish the existing bundled shim as the daemon's authoritative CLI path so terminal hooks use a callable command.
* test(desktop): exercise packaged app startup
The previous smoke exited before IPC, window creation, and preload execution, so a broken packaged preload could still pass. Launch the normal app and observe its renderer bridge and managed daemon through CDP instead.
* test(desktop): preserve Linux sandbox in smoke
Configure the unpacked artifact's chrome-sandbox helper with the permissions Electron requires, while keeping sandboxing enabled so preload failures remain observable. Bound startup probes and include process logs in daemon timeout failures.
* ci(desktop): keep packaged smoke on releases
Remove the temporary pull-request artifact build after it validated the Linux launch path. Keep the real packaged smoke in the native desktop release matrix.
* ci(desktop): gate packaged smoke by changes
Run the Linux real-artifact smoke in pull-request CI when packages/desktop changes, while leaving the regular desktop unit-test matrix unconditional.
* Fix macOS CLI daemon relaunch path
* test(cli): mock helper existence in daemon launch test
* fix(desktop): launch packaged CLI through Helper
The packaged macOS CLI shim entered through the main app executable, so daemon supervision inherited app lifecycle behavior and surfaced Dock icons. Make Helper the required macOS CLI runtime, keep daemon relaunches on process.execPath, and cover cold bundled CLI daemon starts in release smoke.
