Cmd+R was scoped through a stale Electron-side active browser value. Opening or focusing a browser pane set activeBrowserPaneId, but switching to an agent tab only updated workspace layout state. Electron still remembered the old browser and the app menu reloaded that hidden/previous browser instead of the app.
Make workspace layout the authority. Derive the active browser from focusedPaneId plus the focused pane's focusedTabId, and sync browserId|null to Electron from one WorkspaceScreen effect. BrowserPane no longer marks itself active from URL-bar or webview focus handlers, so call sites do not have to remember to clear Electron state when focus moves to an agent, terminal, or another pane.
Electron now treats the synced value as the workspace-active browser, not an independently observed focus source. Menu reload uses that workspace-derived browser when present; otherwise it reloads the app window. Direct Cmd+R events that originate inside a browser guest still reload that guest through the guest before-input-event path.
Browser webviews now own their guest context menu in the main process. Add copy/paste/select-all and a development Inspect Element action for attached browser guest WebContents.
DevTools opening is routed through the main process by browserId. Docked-right DevTools did not become visible for browser guest contents in practice, even though inspect mode activated, so the final behavior opens detached DevTools for both the toolbar button and Inspect Element. The renderer logs bridge/result failures, and main logs registration/open/inspect outcomes for future debugging.
Regression coverage is at the workspace layout derivation layer: focused browser id follows the focused pane's active browser tab and becomes null when the active tab is not a browser. Verified with targeted layout-store tests, navigation E2E, settings E2E, npm run typecheck, and npm run lint.
Adds a Service URLs setting (ask / in-Paseo / external browser) that
controls where URLs from running scripts open on desktop. First click
prompts with a "don't ask again" checkbox; in-Paseo opens a workspace
browser tab. Closing a browser tab now clears its session partition.
- Refresh icon: use single-arrow RotateCw instead of two-arrow RefreshCw
- URL bar selects all text on focus
- Cmd+R now reloads the active browser pane (tracked via IPC) when
the URL bar has focus, instead of reloading the Electron window
- Forward Paseo shortcut keys (b, e, w, t, k, /, \, comma, digits,
enter, arrows) from the embedded webview to the main window so
sidebar/tab/etc. shortcuts still fire when focus is inside the
loaded page
- Add classify.ts as the single source of truth for CLI invocation
routing (discriminated union, derives known commands from Commander)
- Remove all hardcoded command lists and duplicate path detection logic
- Simplify shell wrappers to dumb pipes (zero classification)
- Fix hot-start: use `open -n -g -a` (VS Code pattern) so second-instance
event fires when app is already running
- Fix cold-start race: pull-based IPC (getPendingOpenProject) so renderer
fetches the pending path after React mounts, instead of push event that
arrived before the listener existed
- Fix asar read corruption: unpack node-entrypoint-runner.js from asar
(Node.js v24 in Electron 41 can't parse package.json inside asar)
- Strip ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE from env when spawning desktop app from CLI
Logs from both main and renderer processes now persist to
~/Library/Logs/Paseo/main.log (macOS) with automatic rotation.
Removes the unused webview_log IPC handler.
