* fix(workspaces): default new worktrees to upstream refs
Use the daemon-resolved upstream as the untouched starting ref so unpushed local commits do not leak into new workspaces. Preserve exact base identity for fork remotes while keeping local-first behavior across version drift.
* fix(workspaces): preserve exact base refs in git actions
Resolve accepted display aliases back to the stored ref before comparisons and updates. Fail closed when a non-origin remote base has no explicit mutable merge target.
* fix(workspaces): reject conflicting qualified base refs
Display aliases remain accepted for compatibility, but a qualified ref carries remote identity and must not be canonicalized to a different stored upstream.
* test(server): make upstream fixtures portable
Keep the checkout-status fixture aligned with the optional upstream field, and select main explicitly when cloning a bare test remote whose default HEAD varies by platform.
* fix(workspaces): preserve exact upstream refs
Qualified remote refs now fail closed when pruned instead of switching lineage. Metadata accepts Git-valid upstream names rather than applying a narrower character whitelist.
* fix(workspaces): preserve qualified local base refs
Local tracking branches are exact upstream identities too. Keep heuristics only for legacy unqualified metadata so origin cannot replace a stored refs/heads base.
* fix(composer): keep background context out of loading state
Pull request link resolution can block a new workspace until its checkout target is known, but it is not submission work. Keep that safety gate while reserving the send-button spinner and drop lockout for actual submission or upload progress.
* test(composer): cover link resolution at browser boundary
Exercise the real new-workspace composer while pull request context resolves, including the submit presentation and file-drop path. Keep the two presentation booleans local to their only caller instead of exporting policy solely for an internal-state unit test.
* fix(composer): preserve background lookup ownership
Composer edits could release the resolving gate while a pull request lookup still owned the request, briefly allowing workspace creation from the wrong branch. Track logical candidates independently of unrelated draft changes and settle each reference independently so only invalid work releases early.
* fix(composer): preserve pasted PR selection order
* fix(composer): renew re-added PR lookups
* fix(composer): track pasted PR source order
* fix(composer): preserve resolved attachment order
* fix(composer): coordinate active lookup order
* fix(app): align turn footer actions
Keep running-turn actions in the same position as completed-turn actions and use the shared small icon size for both copy and fork controls.
* feat(app): improve sidebar workspace identity
Make dense sidebar workspace rows easier to scan and let each device control how connected hosts are identified.
* fix(app): keep host badges readable
Use a compact display menu and keep identity color on the host icon so translated controls fit and badge text retains standard contrast.
* fix(app): announce selected sidebar badge mode
* fix(app): retain icon-only host names for screen readers
* fix(app): name hoisted workspace rows
* fix(app): retain host identity in workspace labels
* fix(app): retain workspace status in row labels
* fix(app): defer host appearance until identity resolves
* fix(app): serialize host appearance writes
* fix(app): serialize host registry writes
* fix(app): bound sidebar host badge labels
* test(app): match workspace status labels
* fix(app): consolidate sidebar identity behavior
* test(app): assert status grouping behavior
* fix(app): keep sidebar row actions accessible
* fix(app): stabilize optimistic message layout
* fix(ci): skip unrelated required checks cleanly
Matrix jobs had to start no-op runners to preserve interpolated required-check names. Static named jobs let GitHub report genuine skipped conclusions while keeping those names stable.
* fix(ci): gate changes to install patching script
* fix(ci): route cross-package test contracts narrowly
* fix(ci): keep routed contracts merge-blocking
* fix(server): exclude nested test utilities from builds
* fix(ci): cover app-owned native and browser domains
* refactor(ci): align tests with runtime domains
Own browser specs, desktop specs, and Electron-only app code by stable directories so PR routing does not depend on filename conventions. Keep desktop integration coverage inside the required desktop check.
* fix(ci): keep routing and desktop suites isolated
The routing regression must run before dependency installation, and desktop Vitest must not collect Playwright-owned specs.
* fix(ci): isolate desktop e2e runtime
* perf(test): isolate Playwright workers
* perf(test): parallelize Playwright within specs
* fix(test): keep Playwright file scheduling
* fix(test): share dynamic Metro fixture
* fix(test): preserve own-host restart fixtures
* fix(ci): preserve routed contracts after rebase
* Stabilize Playwright wheel-scroll assertions
