What does this PR do?

Triages a batch of Hermes Desktop (apps/desktop) GUI quality-of-life
issues. Most are renderer-only; a handful touch electron/main.cjs
(IPC, spellchecker, file://, default project dir) and one touches
tools/file_operations.py (Windows-safe deletes).

Overlap with in-flight PRs (already dropped from this branch)

Adjacent (not duplicate, but worth flagging for the merge)

  • PR fix(desktop): stabilize project folder sessions #37586 addresses the same "where does a new session start"
    concern via a sticky last-used WORKSPACE_CWD localStorage key +
    a _SESSION_CWD contextvar in agent/runtime_cwd.py. The
    "Default project directory" work in this PR is intentionally a
    different UX (explicit Settings picker + IPC-persisted JSON +
    packaged process.cwd() skip), so the two are kept side-by-side;
    they merge cleanly conceptually.
  • PR Fix desktop IME enter handling and gateway restart guards #37603 (IME enter handling) edits the same composer/index.tsx
    and assistant-ui/thread.tsx files but only the keydown
    handlers; no logical conflict with the spellcheck attrs / user-
    message-text switch here.
  • PR fix(desktop): render pinned search sessions #37590 (pinned-search rendering) edits sidebar/index.tsx on a
    different surface than the group-by-workspace hide / kbd hint here.

Partial (1):

# Item What's in this PR What's missing
21 "Session Busy" wedge Renderer-side watchdog only — store/session.ts arms an 8-minute timer on every setSessionWorking(true) / state-update event (noteSessionActivity()); when it fires it forcibly drops the session from $workingSessionIds so the UI never stays wedged forever. Python-side cancel propagation through the planner so an in-flight turn actually stops emitting output and the gateway emits session.idle. Renderer subscriber and clear-on-idle is wired but has nothing to subscribe to until the backend cooperates. Should land in a follow-up PR with item #23.

Not in this PR (1):

# Item Why deferred
23 Stopped messages still picked up This is a backend cancel-lifecycle bug; the fix lives in the Python planner / gateway, not in apps/desktop/. No code outside apps/desktop/, tools/file_operations.py, and docs/desktop-i18n-rfc.md is touched in this PR. Follow-up needs to: thread a cancellation flag through the planner so the in-flight turn drops generated output, and have the gateway emit a session.idle event the renderer can listen to.

Other (not in the triage list):

  • Dropdown menu polish that fell out of the prompt-snippets overflow work — themed scrollbar styling for portaled menus (components/ui/dropdown-menu.tsx + .dt-portal-scrollbar in styles.css); the parent menu briefly rendered as a circle and the submenu wouldn't open mid-loop, both fixed.
  • Tightened renderer favicon/meta tags in index.html (type, sizes, shortcut, color-scheme, theme-color).
  • Copilot review fixes applied in-loop: guarded window.hermesDesktop?.settings chains in sessions-settings.tsx (don't .then(...) an undefined short-circuit), dropped Path.unlink(missing_ok=True) so the remote-delete snippet still works on Python 3.7 backends, and wrapped refreshDesktopVersion() in try/catch so the fire-and-forget callers can't generate unhandled promise rejections.

How to Test

Sidebar / sessions

  1. Delete or archive a session — the sidebar footer should no longer claim "Load 1 more" with no row to load.
  2. Pin every visible session — the "Group by workspace" toggle should disappear from the Recents header.
  3. Press Cmd/Ctrl+N (or Shift+N with no input focused) to start a new session.
  4. Start a fresh untitled session — no horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the window while the status bar shows "Connecting…".

Messaging

  1. Open Messaging — Telegram / Discord / Matrix / Signal / WhatsApp / Mattermost rows should show brand glyphs. Slack stays a colored letter monogram (Salesforce had Simple Icons drop the Slack glyph).
  2. Click "Search Messaging" — should focus on the first click.

Composer

  1. Type a misspelled word — red underline + right-click should offer suggestions and "Add to dictionary".
  2. Send a message with inline `code` and a fenced ``` block — user bubble renders styled <code> / <pre>; @file: etc. chips still resolve.
  3. Open the + menu → "Prompt snippets…" — modal opens with descriptions, selecting one inserts text.

(Paste-image dedupe is covered by PR #37596; not re-tested here.)

Tool cards

  1. Run terminal / execute_code that emits both stdout and stderr — two labeled blocks, stderr in a neutral tone (not red).
  2. Run ls --color=always /tmp — ANSI colors render as styled spans.

Settings

  1. Settings → Sessions → Default project directory — pick a folder; start a new session — its cwd should be that folder. Clear → falls back to home.
  2. Settings → API keys & credentials — no "Show advanced" toggle; provider groups with values set are expanded by default.
  3. Settings → About — after running an update check, the version string refreshes.

Cross-platform

  1. On Windows: delete_file / delete_path tool calls succeed (the rewritten snippet runs through python -c instead of rm).
  2. Click a file artifact whose href is a file:// URL — opens in the default OS handler, or reveals the file in the file manager if the OS can't open it.

Session Busy (partial)

  1. Force a stuck session (e.g. crash a streaming turn). After ~8 minutes of stream silence the session should no longer be marked busy — the watchdog clears it. This is mitigation, not a root-cause fix; tracker for the backend cancel-propagation follow-up: see "Not in this PR" above.

Checklist

Code

  • I've read the Contributing Guide
  • My commit messages follow Conventional Commits
  • I searched for existing PRs to make sure this isn't a duplicate
  • My PR contains only changes related to this fix/feature
  • I've run the test suites I changed — npm run test:ui -- src/lib/ansi.test.ts passes (14/14); pre-existing unrelated failures (pane-shell width-override, electron/*.test.cjs collected by Vitest) confirmed to baseline against origin/main. Python: the delete_path snippet was sanity-tested locally against the four behaviors (missing file, file, dir-non-recursive, dir-recursive).
  • I've added tests for my changes — Vitest coverage for lib/ansi.ts (14 cases) added during the review loop. The rest is renderer-only UX where Vitest coverage would need a full jsdom mount; happy to add if reviewers want it.
  • I've tested on my platform: WSL2 (Ubuntu 24.04). macOS smoke test for the renderer changes; Windows verification is the explicit reason for the cross-platform file_operations.py rewrite.

Documentation & Housekeeping

  • I've updated relevant documentation (apps/desktop/README.md troubleshooting)
  • N/A — no cli-config.yaml changes
  • N/A — no architecture/workflow changes
  • I've considered cross-platform impact — this PR specifically fixes Windows footguns (rm, packaged process.cwd(), README guidance)
  • N/A — tool descriptions/schemas unchanged

Screenshots / Logs

Happy to capture before/after of the messaging icons, stdout/stderr split, ANSI rendering, and the spellchecker context menu if reviewers want them.

…poser, tool cards, messaging, and platform plumbing

A grab-bag of high-leverage UX fixes plus a few backend touches that the
GUI needs to behave correctly on Windows.

Sidebar / sessions
- Decrement $sessionsTotal on delete + archive so "Load N more" stops
  claiming removed rows are still on the server.
- Hide the "Group by workspace" toggle when no unpinned sessions exist.
- Accept Cmd/Ctrl+N as a "new session" accelerator (in addition to bare
  Shift+N), and render the kbd hint per-platform.
- Switch the statusbar to overflow-x-clip so untitled sessions don't
  paint a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the window.

Messaging + Cron
- Add [-webkit-app-region: no-drag] to the page-search input so clicks
  reach the field instead of routing to the OS window-drag handler.
- Replace single-letter PlatformAvatar with brand glyphs from
  @icons-pack/react-simple-icons (telegram, discord, matrix, signal,
  whatsapp, mattermost, wechat, qq, ...). Letter monogram fallback for
  Slack / Dingtalk / Feishu / WeCom (removed from Simple Icons at brand
  owner request).
- Drop the duplicate "Create first cron" button in the empty state.

Composer
- Dedupe pasted images by (name, size, lastModified, type) instead of
  Blob identity; Chromium hands us the same screenshot via both
  clipboard.items and clipboard.files with fresh File instances.
- Enable spellcheck on the contentEditable, configure Chromium's
  spellchecker with the system locale on whenReady, and add
  replaceMisspelling + "Add to dictionary" entries to the context menu.
- Render user messages through a minimal markdown pipeline (inline
  backtick code + fenced ``` blocks) while keeping @file:/@image:
  directive chips intact.
- max-h-[60vh] overflow-y-auto + collisionPadding on the prompt-snippet
  submenu.
- Bake cursor-pointer into the <Button> primitive (with
  disabled:cursor-default) and into titlebarButtonClass.

Dialogs + tabs + version
- Default DialogContent now has max-h-[85vh] overflow-y-auto so long
  bodies scroll instead of falling off-screen.
- Right-rail preview tabs close on middle-click (button === 1), with an
  onMouseDown swallow to suppress Chromium autoscroll.
- New refreshDesktopVersion() helper called from About mount, after
  every update check, and on throttled window focus so About reflects
  the just-installed binary.

Keys + Artifacts + Terminal
- Drop the global "Show advanced" toggle in KeysSettings. Provider
  groups now default-expand when they have any key set.
- Extend openExternalUrl to handle file:// via shell.openPath, with
  showItemInFolder fallback when the OS can't open the file.
- New lib/ansi.ts SGR parser + <AnsiText> component, applied to
  terminal/execute_code tool output.
- ToolView gained stdout / stderr / rendersAnsi; tool-fallback renders
  the two streams as separate labeled blocks with stderr in a neutral
  tone (not destructive — many CLIs log info on stderr).
- Drop 'stderr' from ERROR_MSG_KEYS in tool-result-summary.

Paths + platform
- resolveHermesCwd skips process.cwd() when packaged and prefers a
  user-configurable default project directory.
- New hermes:setting:defaultProjectDir:{get,set,pick} IPC handlers +
  preload bridge + global.d.ts typing + a "Default project directory"
  row in Sessions settings.
- FileOperations.delete_path(path, recursive=True) on the abstract
  base; ShellFileOperations.delete_file rewritten to run a cross-
  platform python3 -c snippet so deletes work on Windows shells (which
  have no rm/rm -rf). Fallback to `python` when `python3` isn't on PATH.
- README troubleshooting block split into macOS/Linux + Windows
  PowerShell recipes.
- Tightened renderer favicon links in index.html + added color-scheme
  and theme-color meta.

Backend lifecycle (renderer-side mitigation)
- New noteSessionActivity() heartbeat + session.ts watchdog: an
  8-minute silence on the stream auto-clears stuck $workingSessionIds
  entries so "Session Busy" never gets permanently wedged. Wired into
  useSessionStateCache so every state update refreshes the timer.

i18n spike
- docs/desktop-i18n-rfc.md scoping a future language-switcher PR
  (recommends react-intl, audits IME/RTL/CJK in the composer +
  chat bubbles, 4-PR rollout plan, ~3-4 eng-weeks for the first
  non-English locale).

Radix's DropdownMenuPrimitive.Portal renders content under document.body,
outside the `.scrollbar-dt` scope on #root. Whenever a menu's max-height
clipped its content (even by a pixel — common for the composer "+" menu
that opens upward near the bottom of the window), the user saw the OS's
chunky native scrollbar painted across the whole menu.

Bake a thin, slot-styled scrollbar onto DropdownMenuContent and
DropdownMenuSubContent via [scrollbar-width:thin] + WebKit pseudo-element
arbitrary variants. The submenu also gets a max-h tied to
--radix-dropdown-menu-content-available-height so long snippet lists scroll
cleanly instead of running off the bottom of the viewport. Drop the now-
redundant max-h-[60vh] override on the prompt-snippet submenu.

…rcle

Two regressions from the previous dropdown-scrollbar fix:

- The parent menu rendered as a rounded oval. Long Tailwind v4 arbitrary-
  variant strings like [&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]:rounded-full inside a
  cn() call were being mis-resolved so the `rounded-full` leaked onto the
  menu container itself. Replaced the whole tower of arbitrary variants
  with a real `.dt-portal-scrollbar` class in styles.css that mirrors what
  `.scrollbar-dt` already does for #root descendants. Plain CSS, no Tailwind
  parser ambiguity.
- The Prompt snippets submenu didn't open. Radix publishes
  --radix-dropdown-menu-content-available-height on Content but NOT on
  SubContent, so the `max-h` bound to that variable computed to 0 and the
  submenu collapsed to zero height. Switched SubContent to a fixed
  max-h-80 (≈20rem) which is plenty for a snippet list and never collapses.

…alog

The submenu refused to open when the parent dropdown was anchored at the
bottom of the window (composer "+" button) — Radix's collision detection +
SubContent positioning was fighting us. Rather than keep tuning side /
sideOffset / collisionPadding / max-h until something stuck, replace the
DropdownMenuSub with a clicked DropdownMenuItem that opens a proper
Dialog.

Side benefits over the submenu:
- Each snippet gets a description line, so a glance is enough to pick one.
- Focus management is handled by Dialog automatically.
- Easy to grow (search, custom user snippets, categories) without
  another round of Radix positioning bugs.

Also extract types/interfaces to the bottom of the file per workspace
convention.

Reverses the previous direction on cron empty-state dedup. The body
button is more discoverable for first-time users (it's anchored next to
the "No scheduled jobs yet" copy that explains the feature) and frees
the top bar from a global CTA that wasn't pulling its weight.

- Empty (zero jobs): EmptyState renders the "Create first cron" button
  again, like the original design.
- Empty (search filtered out all jobs): no button, just "Try a broader
  search query" copy.
- Has jobs: small inline header above the list shows `N/M active` plus
  a single "New cron" button (right-aligned). The rows themselves
  already cover edit/pause/trigger/delete, so this is the only "create"
  affordance.

Also drop the dead `<div className="hidden">…</div>` enabledCount line
the previous patch left behind; the count is now visible in the new
header instead of hidden.

- sessions-settings: guard the WHOLE bridge call rather than chaining
  `?.settings.foo().then(...)` — the latter throws when
  `window.hermesDesktop` is undefined (non-Electron / Vitest contexts)
  because the chain short-circuits to `undefined.then(...)`.
- file_operations: drop `Path.unlink(missing_ok=True)` (Py>=3.8) so the
  generated delete snippet still works on remote backends running
  Python 3.7. The existing FileNotFoundError handler covers the same
  case and works back to 3.4.
- ansi.test.ts: add focused Vitest coverage for the SGR parser
  (basic/bright colors, bold toggles, default-fg reset, coalescing,
  256-color / truecolor arg consumption, non-SGR CSI drop, empty SGR
  full-reset) so future refactors can't silently regress terminal
  rendering.

@copilot please re-review — addressed your previous comments in 996d2bf.

Re-review complete. All three issues from the initial pass are cleanly resolved in 996d2bf:

  • sessions-settings.tsx — local settings const + explicit if (!settings) return guard used consistently in all three bridge call sites (useEffect, choose, clear). No more undefined.then(...) risk.
  • file_operations.pymissing_ok=True dropped; p.unlink() + the existing except FileNotFoundError: pass handler covers the same case back to Python 3.4.
  • ansi.test.ts — 14 Vitest tests covering basic/bright colors, bold toggles, default-fg reset, same-style coalescing, 256-color/truecolor arg consumption, non-SGR CSI stripping, and empty-SGR full reset. Implementation and tests are well-aligned.

No new issues found — this looks good to merge.

`refreshDesktopVersion()` is called best-effort with `void` from
`checkUpdates()`, `startUpdatePoller()`, and the window focus handler.
If the IPC bridge rejects (main process shutting down during reload,
bridge not yet ready on first paint), the rejection surfaces as an
unhandled promise rejection in the renderer. Wrap the call in try/catch
and return null on failure so callers can keep the existing
fire-and-forget pattern safely.

Re-review complete. The refreshDesktopVersion() change in 4a41b91 correctly wraps the IPC call in try/catch and returns null on failure, so the fire-and-forget callers no longer risk unhandled promise rejections. I don’t see any new issues from this thread.

* fix(desktop): honor default project directory for new sessions

* fix(desktop): triage 24 GUI quality-of-life fixes across sidebar, composer, tool cards, messaging, and platform plumbing

A grab-bag of high-leverage UX fixes plus a few backend touches that the
GUI needs to behave correctly on Windows.

Sidebar / sessions
- Decrement $sessionsTotal on delete + archive so "Load N more" stops
  claiming removed rows are still on the server.
- Hide the "Group by workspace" toggle when no unpinned sessions exist.
- Accept Cmd/Ctrl+N as a "new session" accelerator (in addition to bare
  Shift+N), and render the kbd hint per-platform.
- Switch the statusbar to overflow-x-clip so untitled sessions don't
  paint a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the window.

Messaging + Cron
- Add [-webkit-app-region: no-drag] to the page-search input so clicks
  reach the field instead of routing to the OS window-drag handler.
- Replace single-letter PlatformAvatar with brand glyphs from
  @icons-pack/react-simple-icons (telegram, discord, matrix, signal,
  whatsapp, mattermost, wechat, qq, ...). Letter monogram fallback for
  Slack / Dingtalk / Feishu / WeCom (removed from Simple Icons at brand
  owner request).
- Drop the duplicate "Create first cron" button in the empty state.

Composer
- Dedupe pasted images by (name, size, lastModified, type) instead of
  Blob identity; Chromium hands us the same screenshot via both
  clipboard.items and clipboard.files with fresh File instances.
- Enable spellcheck on the contentEditable, configure Chromium's
  spellchecker with the system locale on whenReady, and add
  replaceMisspelling + "Add to dictionary" entries to the context menu.
- Render user messages through a minimal markdown pipeline (inline
  backtick code + fenced ``` blocks) while keeping @file:/@image:
  directive chips intact.
- max-h-[60vh] overflow-y-auto + collisionPadding on the prompt-snippet
  submenu.
- Bake cursor-pointer into the <Button> primitive (with
  disabled:cursor-default) and into titlebarButtonClass.

Dialogs + tabs + version
- Default DialogContent now has max-h-[85vh] overflow-y-auto so long
  bodies scroll instead of falling off-screen.
- Right-rail preview tabs close on middle-click (button === 1), with an
  onMouseDown swallow to suppress Chromium autoscroll.
- New refreshDesktopVersion() helper called from About mount, after
  every update check, and on throttled window focus so About reflects
  the just-installed binary.

Keys + Artifacts + Terminal
- Drop the global "Show advanced" toggle in KeysSettings. Provider
  groups now default-expand when they have any key set.
- Extend openExternalUrl to handle file:// via shell.openPath, with
  showItemInFolder fallback when the OS can't open the file.
- New lib/ansi.ts SGR parser + <AnsiText> component, applied to
  terminal/execute_code tool output.
- ToolView gained stdout / stderr / rendersAnsi; tool-fallback renders
  the two streams as separate labeled blocks with stderr in a neutral
  tone (not destructive — many CLIs log info on stderr).
- Drop 'stderr' from ERROR_MSG_KEYS in tool-result-summary.

Paths + platform
- resolveHermesCwd skips process.cwd() when packaged and prefers a
  user-configurable default project directory.
- New hermes:setting:defaultProjectDir:{get,set,pick} IPC handlers +
  preload bridge + global.d.ts typing + a "Default project directory"
  row in Sessions settings.
- FileOperations.delete_path(path, recursive=True) on the abstract
  base; ShellFileOperations.delete_file rewritten to run a cross-
  platform python3 -c snippet so deletes work on Windows shells (which
  have no rm/rm -rf). Fallback to `python` when `python3` isn't on PATH.
- README troubleshooting block split into macOS/Linux + Windows
  PowerShell recipes.
- Tightened renderer favicon links in index.html + added color-scheme
  and theme-color meta.

Backend lifecycle (renderer-side mitigation)
- New noteSessionActivity() heartbeat + session.ts watchdog: an
  8-minute silence on the stream auto-clears stuck $workingSessionIds
  entries so "Session Busy" never gets permanently wedged. Wired into
  useSessionStateCache so every state update refreshes the timer.

i18n spike
- docs/desktop-i18n-rfc.md scoping a future language-switcher PR
  (recommends react-intl, audits IME/RTL/CJK in the composer +
  chat bubbles, 4-PR rollout plan, ~3-4 eng-weeks for the first
  non-English locale).

* fix(desktop): replace native OS scrollbar in portaled dropdown menus

Radix's DropdownMenuPrimitive.Portal renders content under document.body,
outside the `.scrollbar-dt` scope on #root. Whenever a menu's max-height
clipped its content (even by a pixel — common for the composer "+" menu
that opens upward near the bottom of the window), the user saw the OS's
chunky native scrollbar painted across the whole menu.

Bake a thin, slot-styled scrollbar onto DropdownMenuContent and
DropdownMenuSubContent via [scrollbar-width:thin] + WebKit pseudo-element
arbitrary variants. The submenu also gets a max-h tied to
--radix-dropdown-menu-content-available-height so long snippet lists scroll
cleanly instead of running off the bottom of the viewport. Drop the now-
redundant max-h-[60vh] override on the prompt-snippet submenu.

* fix(desktop): unbork dropdown menu — submenu opens, parent isn't a circle

Two regressions from the previous dropdown-scrollbar fix:

- The parent menu rendered as a rounded oval. Long Tailwind v4 arbitrary-
  variant strings like [&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]:rounded-full inside a
  cn() call were being mis-resolved so the `rounded-full` leaked onto the
  menu container itself. Replaced the whole tower of arbitrary variants
  with a real `.dt-portal-scrollbar` class in styles.css that mirrors what
  `.scrollbar-dt` already does for #root descendants. Plain CSS, no Tailwind
  parser ambiguity.
- The Prompt snippets submenu didn't open. Radix publishes
  --radix-dropdown-menu-content-available-height on Content but NOT on
  SubContent, so the `max-h` bound to that variable computed to 0 and the
  submenu collapsed to zero height. Switched SubContent to a fixed
  max-h-80 (≈20rem) which is plenty for a snippet list and never collapses.

* fix(desktop): promote prompt snippets from Radix submenu to a real Dialog

The submenu refused to open when the parent dropdown was anchored at the
bottom of the window (composer "+" button) — Radix's collision detection +
SubContent positioning was fighting us. Rather than keep tuning side /
sideOffset / collisionPadding / max-h until something stuck, replace the
DropdownMenuSub with a clicked DropdownMenuItem that opens a proper
Dialog.

Side benefits over the submenu:
- Each snippet gets a description line, so a glance is enough to pick one.
- Focus management is handled by Dialog automatically.
- Easy to grow (search, custom user snippets, categories) without
  another round of Radix positioning bugs.

Also extract types/interfaces to the bottom of the file per workspace
convention.

* fix(desktop): move cron 'New cron' button off the top bar into the body

Reverses the previous direction on cron empty-state dedup. The body
button is more discoverable for first-time users (it's anchored next to
the "No scheduled jobs yet" copy that explains the feature) and frees
the top bar from a global CTA that wasn't pulling its weight.

- Empty (zero jobs): EmptyState renders the "Create first cron" button
  again, like the original design.
- Empty (search filtered out all jobs): no button, just "Try a broader
  search query" copy.
- Has jobs: small inline header above the list shows `N/M active` plus
  a single "New cron" button (right-aligned). The rows themselves
  already cover edit/pause/trigger/delete, so this is the only "create"
  affordance.

Also drop the dead `<div className="hidden">…</div>` enabledCount line
the previous patch left behind; the count is now visible in the new
header instead of hidden.

* fix(desktop): address Copilot review on PR 37536

- sessions-settings: guard the WHOLE bridge call rather than chaining
  `?.settings.foo().then(...)` — the latter throws when
  `window.hermesDesktop` is undefined (non-Electron / Vitest contexts)
  because the chain short-circuits to `undefined.then(...)`.
- file_operations: drop `Path.unlink(missing_ok=True)` (Py>=3.8) so the
  generated delete snippet still works on remote backends running
  Python 3.7. The existing FileNotFoundError handler covers the same
  case and works back to 3.4.
- ansi.test.ts: add focused Vitest coverage for the SGR parser
  (basic/bright colors, bold toggles, default-fg reset, coalescing,
  256-color / truecolor arg consumption, non-SGR CSI drop, empty SGR
  full-reset) so future refactors can't silently regress terminal
  rendering.

* fix(desktop/updates): swallow refreshDesktopVersion bridge errors

`refreshDesktopVersion()` is called best-effort with `void` from
`checkUpdates()`, `startUpdatePoller()`, and the window focus handler.
If the IPC bridge rejects (main process shutting down during reload,
bridge not yet ready on first paint), the rejection surfaces as an
unhandled promise rejection in the renderer. Wrap the call in try/catch
and return null on failure so callers can keep the existing
fire-and-forget pattern safely.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* chore(desktop): drop work duplicated by other in-flight PRs

- composer/text-utils.ts: revert paste-image dedupe — PR NousResearch#37596
  ships the same fix with a cleaner content-key approach and a
  Vitest file (text-utils.test.ts). Letting that PR own the change.
- docs/desktop-i18n-rfc.md: delete the i18n scoping RFC — PR NousResearch#37568
  has already shipped a working i18n surface (homegrown nanostores
  `t()` helper over en/zh dictionaries), so the RFC's framework
  recommendation (`react-intl`) is now obsolete and would just
  contradict the implementation that's actually landing.

* fix(desktop): move cron 'New cron' button off the top bar into the body

Reverses the previous direction on cron empty-state dedup. The body
button is more discoverable for first-time users (it's anchored next to
the "No scheduled jobs yet" copy that explains the feature) and frees
the top bar from a global CTA that wasn't pulling its weight.

- Empty (zero jobs): EmptyState renders the "Create first cron" button
  again, like the original design.
- Empty (search filtered out all jobs): no button, just "Try a broader
  search query" copy.
- Has jobs: small inline header above the list shows `N/M active` plus
  a single "New cron" button (right-aligned). The rows themselves
  already cover edit/pause/trigger/delete, so this is the only "create"
  affordance.

Also drop the dead `<div className="hidden">…</div>` enabledCount line
the previous patch left behind; the count is now visible in the new
header instead of hidden.

- sessions-settings: guard the WHOLE bridge call rather than chaining
  `?.settings.foo().then(...)` — the latter throws when
  `window.hermesDesktop` is undefined (non-Electron / Vitest contexts)
  because the chain short-circuits to `undefined.then(...)`.
- file_operations: drop `Path.unlink(missing_ok=True)` (Py>=3.8) so the
  generated delete snippet still works on remote backends running
  Python 3.7. The existing FileNotFoundError handler covers the same
  case and works back to 3.4.
- ansi.test.ts: add focused Vitest coverage for the SGR parser
  (basic/bright colors, bold toggles, default-fg reset, coalescing,
  256-color / truecolor arg consumption, non-SGR CSI drop, empty SGR
  full-reset) so future refactors can't silently regress terminal
  rendering.

`refreshDesktopVersion()` is called best-effort with `void` from

If the IPC bridge rejects (main process shutting down during reload,
bridge not yet ready on first paint), the rejection surfaces as an
unhandled promise rejection in the renderer. Wrap the call in try/catch
and return null on failure so callers can keep the existing
fire-and-forget pattern safely.

* fix(desktop): triage 24 GUI quality-of-life fixes across sidebar, composer, tool cards, messaging, and platform plumbing

A grab-bag of high-leverage UX fixes plus a few backend touches that the
GUI needs to behave correctly on Windows.

Sidebar / sessions
- Decrement $sessionsTotal on delete + archive so "Load N more" stops
  claiming removed rows are still on the server.
- Hide the "Group by workspace" toggle when no unpinned sessions exist.
- Accept Cmd/Ctrl+N as a "new session" accelerator (in addition to bare
  Shift+N), and render the kbd hint per-platform.
- Switch the statusbar to overflow-x-clip so untitled sessions don't
  paint a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the window.

Messaging + Cron
- Add [-webkit-app-region: no-drag] to the page-search input so clicks
  reach the field instead of routing to the OS window-drag handler.
- Replace single-letter PlatformAvatar with brand glyphs from
  @icons-pack/react-simple-icons (telegram, discord, matrix, signal,
  whatsapp, mattermost, wechat, qq, ...). Letter monogram fallback for
  Slack / Dingtalk / Feishu / WeCom (removed from Simple Icons at brand
  owner request).
- Drop the duplicate "Create first cron" button in the empty state.

Composer
- Dedupe pasted images by (name, size, lastModified, type) instead of
  Blob identity; Chromium hands us the same screenshot via both
  clipboard.items and clipboard.files with fresh File instances.
- Enable spellcheck on the contentEditable, configure Chromium's
  spellchecker with the system locale on whenReady, and add
  replaceMisspelling + "Add to dictionary" entries to the context menu.
- Render user messages through a minimal markdown pipeline (inline
  backtick code + fenced ``` blocks) while keeping @file:/@image:
  directive chips intact.
- max-h-[60vh] overflow-y-auto + collisionPadding on the prompt-snippet
  submenu.
- Bake cursor-pointer into the <Button> primitive (with
  disabled:cursor-default) and into titlebarButtonClass.

Dialogs + tabs + version
- Default DialogContent now has max-h-[85vh] overflow-y-auto so long
  bodies scroll instead of falling off-screen.
- Right-rail preview tabs close on middle-click (button === 1), with an
  onMouseDown swallow to suppress Chromium autoscroll.
- New refreshDesktopVersion() helper called from About mount, after
  every update check, and on throttled window focus so About reflects
  the just-installed binary.

Keys + Artifacts + Terminal
- Drop the global "Show advanced" toggle in KeysSettings. Provider
  groups now default-expand when they have any key set.
- Extend openExternalUrl to handle file:// via shell.openPath, with
  showItemInFolder fallback when the OS can't open the file.
- New lib/ansi.ts SGR parser + <AnsiText> component, applied to
  terminal/execute_code tool output.
- ToolView gained stdout / stderr / rendersAnsi; tool-fallback renders
  the two streams as separate labeled blocks with stderr in a neutral
  tone (not destructive — many CLIs log info on stderr).
- Drop 'stderr' from ERROR_MSG_KEYS in tool-result-summary.

Paths + platform
- resolveHermesCwd skips process.cwd() when packaged and prefers a
  user-configurable default project directory.
- New hermes:setting:defaultProjectDir:{get,set,pick} IPC handlers +
  preload bridge + global.d.ts typing + a "Default project directory"
  row in Sessions settings.
- FileOperations.delete_path(path, recursive=True) on the abstract
  base; ShellFileOperations.delete_file rewritten to run a cross-
  platform python3 -c snippet so deletes work on Windows shells (which
  have no rm/rm -rf). Fallback to `python` when `python3` isn't on PATH.
- README troubleshooting block split into macOS/Linux + Windows
  PowerShell recipes.
- Tightened renderer favicon links in index.html + added color-scheme
  and theme-color meta.

Backend lifecycle (renderer-side mitigation)
- New noteSessionActivity() heartbeat + session.ts watchdog: an
  8-minute silence on the stream auto-clears stuck $workingSessionIds
  entries so "Session Busy" never gets permanently wedged. Wired into
  useSessionStateCache so every state update refreshes the timer.

i18n spike
- docs/desktop-i18n-rfc.md scoping a future language-switcher PR
  (recommends react-intl, audits IME/RTL/CJK in the composer +
  chat bubbles, 4-PR rollout plan, ~3-4 eng-weeks for the first
  non-English locale).

* fix(desktop): replace native OS scrollbar in portaled dropdown menus

Radix's DropdownMenuPrimitive.Portal renders content under document.body,
outside the `.scrollbar-dt` scope on #root. Whenever a menu's max-height
clipped its content (even by a pixel — common for the composer "+" menu
that opens upward near the bottom of the window), the user saw the OS's
chunky native scrollbar painted across the whole menu.

Bake a thin, slot-styled scrollbar onto DropdownMenuContent and
DropdownMenuSubContent via [scrollbar-width:thin] + WebKit pseudo-element
arbitrary variants. The submenu also gets a max-h tied to
--radix-dropdown-menu-content-available-height so long snippet lists scroll
cleanly instead of running off the bottom of the viewport. Drop the now-
redundant max-h-[60vh] override on the prompt-snippet submenu.

* fix(desktop): unbork dropdown menu — submenu opens, parent isn't a circle

Two regressions from the previous dropdown-scrollbar fix:

- The parent menu rendered as a rounded oval. Long Tailwind v4 arbitrary-
  variant strings like [&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]:rounded-full inside a
  cn() call were being mis-resolved so the `rounded-full` leaked onto the
  menu container itself. Replaced the whole tower of arbitrary variants
  with a real `.dt-portal-scrollbar` class in styles.css that mirrors what
  `.scrollbar-dt` already does for #root descendants. Plain CSS, no Tailwind
  parser ambiguity.
- The Prompt snippets submenu didn't open. Radix publishes
  --radix-dropdown-menu-content-available-height on Content but NOT on
  SubContent, so the `max-h` bound to that variable computed to 0 and the
  submenu collapsed to zero height. Switched SubContent to a fixed
  max-h-80 (≈20rem) which is plenty for a snippet list and never collapses.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* fix(desktop): promote prompt snippets from Radix submenu to a real Dialog

The submenu refused to open when the parent dropdown was anchored at the
bottom of the window (composer "+" button) — Radix's collision detection +
SubContent positioning was fighting us. Rather than keep tuning side /
sideOffset / collisionPadding / max-h until something stuck, replace the
DropdownMenuSub with a clicked DropdownMenuItem that opens a proper
Dialog.

Side benefits over the submenu:
- Each snippet gets a description line, so a glance is enough to pick one.
- Focus management is handled by Dialog automatically.
- Easy to grow (search, custom user snippets, categories) without
  another round of Radix positioning bugs.

Also extract types/interfaces to the bottom of the file per workspace

* fix(desktop): replace native OS scrollbar in portaled dropdown menus

Radix's DropdownMenuPrimitive.Portal renders content under document.body,
outside the `.scrollbar-dt` scope on #root. Whenever a menu's max-height
clipped its content (even by a pixel — common for the composer "+" menu
that opens upward near the bottom of the window), the user saw the OS's
chunky native scrollbar painted across the whole menu.

Bake a thin, slot-styled scrollbar onto DropdownMenuContent and
DropdownMenuSubContent via [scrollbar-width:thin] + WebKit pseudo-element
arbitrary variants. The submenu also gets a max-h tied to
--radix-dropdown-menu-content-available-height so long snippet lists scroll
cleanly instead of running off the bottom of the viewport. Drop the now-
redundant max-h-[60vh] override on the prompt-snippet submenu.

* fix(desktop): unbork dropdown menu — submenu opens, parent isn't a circle

Two regressions from the previous dropdown-scrollbar fix:

- The parent menu rendered as a rounded oval. Long Tailwind v4 arbitrary-
  variant strings like [&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]:rounded-full inside a
  cn() call were being mis-resolved so the `rounded-full` leaked onto the
  menu container itself. Replaced the whole tower of arbitrary variants
  with a real `.dt-portal-scrollbar` class in styles.css that mirrors what
  `.scrollbar-dt` already does for #root descendants. Plain CSS, no Tailwind
  parser ambiguity.
- The Prompt snippets submenu didn't open. Radix publishes
  --radix-dropdown-menu-content-available-height on Content but NOT on
  SubContent, so the `max-h` bound to that variable computed to 0 and the
  submenu collapsed to zero height. Switched SubContent to a fixed
  max-h-80 (≈20rem) which is plenty for a snippet list and never collapses.

* fix(desktop): promote prompt snippets from Radix submenu to a real Dialog

The submenu refused to open when the parent dropdown was anchored at the
bottom of the window (composer "+" button) — Radix's collision detection +
SubContent positioning was fighting us. Rather than keep tuning side /
sideOffset / collisionPadding / max-h until something stuck, replace the
DropdownMenuSub with a clicked DropdownMenuItem that opens a proper
Dialog.

Side benefits over the submenu:
- Each snippet gets a description line, so a glance is enough to pick one.
- Focus management is handled by Dialog automatically.
- Easy to grow (search, custom user snippets, categories) without
  another round of Radix positioning bugs.

Also extract types/interfaces to the bottom of the file per workspace
convention.

* fix(desktop): move cron 'New cron' button off the top bar into the body

Reverses the previous direction on cron empty-state dedup. The body
button is more discoverable for first-time users (it's anchored next to
the "No scheduled jobs yet" copy that explains the feature) and frees
the top bar from a global CTA that wasn't pulling its weight.

- Empty (zero jobs): EmptyState renders the "Create first cron" button
  again, like the original design.
- Empty (search filtered out all jobs): no button, just "Try a broader
  search query" copy.
- Has jobs: small inline header above the list shows `N/M active` plus
  a single "New cron" button (right-aligned). The rows themselves
  already cover edit/pause/trigger/delete, so this is the only "create"
  affordance.

Also drop the dead `<div className="hidden">…</div>` enabledCount line
the previous patch left behind; the count is now visible in the new
header instead of hidden.

* fix(desktop): triage 24 GUI quality-of-life fixes across sidebar, composer, tool cards, messaging, and platform plumbing

A grab-bag of high-leverage UX fixes plus a few backend touches that the
GUI needs to behave correctly on Windows.

Sidebar / sessions
- Decrement $sessionsTotal on delete + archive so "Load N more" stops
  claiming removed rows are still on the server.
- Hide the "Group by workspace" toggle when no unpinned sessions exist.
- Accept Cmd/Ctrl+N as a "new session" accelerator (in addition to bare
  Shift+N), and render the kbd hint per-platform.
- Switch the statusbar to overflow-x-clip so untitled sessions don't
  paint a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the window.

Messaging + Cron
- Add [-webkit-app-region: no-drag] to the page-search input so clicks
  reach the field instead of routing to the OS window-drag handler.
- Replace single-letter PlatformAvatar with brand glyphs from
  @icons-pack/react-simple-icons (telegram, discord, matrix, signal,
  whatsapp, mattermost, wechat, qq, ...). Letter monogram fallback for
  Slack / Dingtalk / Feishu / WeCom (removed from Simple Icons at brand
  owner request).
- Drop the duplicate "Create first cron" button in the empty state.

Composer
- Dedupe pasted images by (name, size, lastModified, type) instead of
  Blob identity; Chromium hands us the same screenshot via both
  clipboard.items and clipboard.files with fresh File instances.
- Enable spellcheck on the contentEditable, configure Chromium's
  spellchecker with the system locale on whenReady, and add
  replaceMisspelling + "Add to dictionary" entries to the context menu.
- Render user messages through a minimal markdown pipeline (inline
  backtick code + fenced ``` blocks) while keeping @file:/@image:
  directive chips intact.
- max-h-[60vh] overflow-y-auto + collisionPadding on the prompt-snippet
  submenu.
- Bake cursor-pointer into the <Button> primitive (with
  disabled:cursor-default) and into titlebarButtonClass.

Dialogs + tabs + version
- Default DialogContent now has max-h-[85vh] overflow-y-auto so long
  bodies scroll instead of falling off-screen.
- Right-rail preview tabs close on middle-click (button === 1), with an
  onMouseDown swallow to suppress Chromium autoscroll.
- New refreshDesktopVersion() helper called from About mount, after
  every update check, and on throttled window focus so About reflects
  the just-installed binary.

Keys + Artifacts + Terminal
- Drop the global "Show advanced" toggle in KeysSettings. Provider
  groups now default-expand when they have any key set.
- Extend openExternalUrl to handle file:// via shell.openPath, with
  showItemInFolder fallback when the OS can't open the file.
- New lib/ansi.ts SGR parser + <AnsiText> component, applied to
  terminal/execute_code tool output.
- ToolView gained stdout / stderr / rendersAnsi; tool-fallback renders
  the two streams as separate labeled blocks with stderr in a neutral
  tone (not destructive — many CLIs log info on stderr).
- Drop 'stderr' from ERROR_MSG_KEYS in tool-result-summary.

Paths + platform
- resolveHermesCwd skips process.cwd() when packaged and prefers a
  user-configurable default project directory.
- New hermes:setting:defaultProjectDir:{get,set,pick} IPC handlers +
  preload bridge + global.d.ts typing + a "Default project directory"

  platform python3 -c snippet so deletes work on Windows shells (which
  have no rm/rm -rf). Fallback to `python` when `python3` isn't on PATH.

* fix(desktop): honor default project directory for new sessions

The Settings picker persisted project-dir.json but the renderer kept
seeding new chats from sticky localStorage home. Prefer the configured
default on boot and session.create, pin TERMINAL_CWD at backend spawn,
and reject packaged install-dir paths that regressed after NousResearch#37536.

* fix(desktop): address review on default project dir PR

Add workspace cwd precedence tests, extract isPackagedInstallPath for
platform test coverage, and stop rewriting live $currentCwd when a
session is already active (cache-only until the next new chat).

* fix(desktop): triage 24 GUI quality-of-life fixes across sidebar, composer, tool cards, messaging, and platform plumbing

A grab-bag of high-leverage UX fixes plus a few backend touches that the
GUI needs to behave correctly on Windows.

Sidebar / sessions
- Decrement $sessionsTotal on delete + archive so "Load N more" stops
  claiming removed rows are still on the server.
- Hide the "Group by workspace" toggle when no unpinned sessions exist.
- Accept Cmd/Ctrl+N as a "new session" accelerator (in addition to bare
  Shift+N), and render the kbd hint per-platform.
- Switch the statusbar to overflow-x-clip so untitled sessions don't
  paint a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the window.

Messaging + Cron
- Add [-webkit-app-region: no-drag] to the page-search input so clicks
  reach the field instead of routing to the OS window-drag handler.
- Replace single-letter PlatformAvatar with brand glyphs from
  @icons-pack/react-simple-icons (telegram, discord, matrix, signal,
  whatsapp, mattermost, wechat, qq, ...). Letter monogram fallback for
  Slack / Dingtalk / Feishu / WeCom (removed from Simple Icons at brand
  owner request).
- Drop the duplicate "Create first cron" button in the empty state.

Composer
- Dedupe pasted images by (name, size, lastModified, type) instead of
  Blob identity; Chromium hands us the same screenshot via both
  clipboard.items and clipboard.files with fresh File instances.
- Enable spellcheck on the contentEditable, configure Chromium's
  spellchecker with the system locale on whenReady, and add
  replaceMisspelling + "Add to dictionary" entries to the context menu.
- Render user messages through a minimal markdown pipeline (inline
  backtick code + fenced ``` blocks) while keeping @file:/@image:
  directive chips intact.
- max-h-[60vh] overflow-y-auto + collisionPadding on the prompt-snippet
  submenu.
- Bake cursor-pointer into the <Button> primitive (with
  disabled:cursor-default) and into titlebarButtonClass.

Dialogs + tabs + version
- Default DialogContent now has max-h-[85vh] overflow-y-auto so long
  bodies scroll instead of falling off-screen.
- Right-rail preview tabs close on middle-click (button === 1), with an
  onMouseDown swallow to suppress Chromium autoscroll.
- New refreshDesktopVersion() helper called from About mount, after
  every update check, and on throttled window focus so About reflects
  the just-installed binary.

Keys + Artifacts + Terminal
- Drop the global "Show advanced" toggle in KeysSettings. Provider
  groups now default-expand when they have any key set.
- Extend openExternalUrl to handle file:// via shell.openPath, with
  showItemInFolder fallback when the OS can't open the file.
- New lib/ansi.ts SGR parser + <AnsiText> component, applied to
  terminal/execute_code tool output.
- ToolView gained stdout / stderr / rendersAnsi; tool-fallback renders
  the two streams as separate labeled blocks with stderr in a neutral
  tone (not destructive — many CLIs log info on stderr).
- Drop 'stderr' from ERROR_MSG_KEYS in tool-result-summary.

Paths + platform
- resolveHermesCwd skips process.cwd() when packaged and prefers a
  user-configurable default project directory.
- New hermes:setting:defaultProjectDir:{get,set,pick} IPC handlers +
  preload bridge + global.d.ts typing + a "Default project directory"
  row in Sessions settings.
- FileOperations.delete_path(path, recursive=True) on the abstract
  base; ShellFileOperations.delete_file rewritten to run a cross-
  platform python3 -c snippet so deletes work on Windows shells (which
  have no rm/rm -rf). Fallback to `python` when `python3` isn't on PATH.
- README troubleshooting block split into macOS/Linux + Windows
  PowerShell recipes.
- Tightened renderer favicon links in index.html + added color-scheme
  and theme-color meta.

Backend lifecycle (renderer-side mitigation)
- New noteSessionActivity() heartbeat + session.ts watchdog: an
  8-minute silence on the stream auto-clears stuck $workingSessionIds
  entries so "Session Busy" never gets permanently wedged. Wired into
  useSessionStateCache so every state update refreshes the timer.

i18n spike
- docs/desktop-i18n-rfc.md scoping a future language-switcher PR
  (recommends react-intl, audits IME/RTL/CJK in the composer +
  chat bubbles, 4-PR rollout plan, ~3-4 eng-weeks for the first
  non-English locale).

* fix(desktop): replace native OS scrollbar in portaled dropdown menus

Radix's DropdownMenuPrimitive.Portal renders content under document.body,
outside the `.scrollbar-dt` scope on #root. Whenever a menu's max-height
clipped its content (even by a pixel — common for the composer "+" menu
that opens upward near the bottom of the window), the user saw the OS's
chunky native scrollbar painted across the whole menu.

Bake a thin, slot-styled scrollbar onto DropdownMenuContent and
DropdownMenuSubContent via [scrollbar-width:thin] + WebKit pseudo-element
arbitrary variants. The submenu also gets a max-h tied to
--radix-dropdown-menu-content-available-height so long snippet lists scroll
cleanly instead of running off the bottom of the viewport. Drop the now-
redundant max-h-[60vh] override on the prompt-snippet submenu.

* fix(desktop): unbork dropdown menu — submenu opens, parent isn't a circle

Two regressions from the previous dropdown-scrollbar fix:

- The parent menu rendered as a rounded oval. Long Tailwind v4 arbitrary-
  variant strings like [&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]:rounded-full inside a
  cn() call were being mis-resolved so the `rounded-full` leaked onto the
  menu container itself. Replaced the whole tower of arbitrary variants
  with a real `.dt-portal-scrollbar` class in styles.css that mirrors what
  `.scrollbar-dt` already does for #root descendants. Plain CSS, no Tailwind
  parser ambiguity.
- The Prompt snippets submenu didn't open. Radix publishes
  --radix-dropdown-menu-content-available-height on Content but NOT on
  SubContent, so the `max-h` bound to that variable computed to 0 and the
  submenu collapsed to zero height. Switched SubContent to a fixed
  max-h-80 (≈20rem) which is plenty for a snippet list and never collapses.

* fix(desktop): promote prompt snippets from Radix submenu to a real Dialog

The submenu refused to open when the parent dropdown was anchored at the
bottom of the window (composer "+" button) — Radix's collision detection +
SubContent positioning was fighting us. Rather than keep tuning side /
sideOffset / collisionPadding / max-h until something stuck, replace the
DropdownMenuSub with a clicked DropdownMenuItem that opens a proper
Dialog.

Side benefits over the submenu:
- Each snippet gets a description line, so a glance is enough to pick one.
- Focus management is handled by Dialog automatically.
- Easy to grow (search, custom user snippets, categories) without
  another round of Radix positioning bugs.

Also extract types/interfaces to the bottom of the file per workspace
convention.

* fix(desktop): move cron 'New cron' button off the top bar into the body

Reverses the previous direction on cron empty-state dedup. The body
button is more discoverable for first-time users (it's anchored next to
the "No scheduled jobs yet" copy that explains the feature) and frees
the top bar from a global CTA that wasn't pulling its weight.

- Empty (zero jobs): EmptyState renders the "Create first cron" button
  again, like the original design.
- Empty (search filtered out all jobs): no button, just "Try a broader
  search query" copy.
- Has jobs: small inline header above the list shows `N/M active` plus
  a single "New cron" button (right-aligned). The rows themselves
  already cover edit/pause/trigger/delete, so this is the only "create"
  affordance.

Also drop the dead `<div className="hidden">…</div>` enabledCount line
the previous patch left behind; the count is now visible in the new
header instead of hidden.

* fix(desktop): address Copilot review on PR 37536

- sessions-settings: guard the WHOLE bridge call rather than chaining
  `?.settings.foo().then(...)` — the latter throws when
  `window.hermesDesktop` is undefined (non-Electron / Vitest contexts)
  because the chain short-circuits to `undefined.then(...)`.
- file_operations: drop `Path.unlink(missing_ok=True)` (Py>=3.8) so the
  generated delete snippet still works on remote backends running
  Python 3.7. The existing FileNotFoundError handler covers the same
  case and works back to 3.4.
- ansi.test.ts: add focused Vitest coverage for the SGR parser
  (basic/bright colors, bold toggles, default-fg reset, coalescing,
  256-color / truecolor arg consumption, non-SGR CSI drop, empty SGR
  full-reset) so future refactors can't silently regress terminal
  rendering.

* fix(desktop/updates): swallow refreshDesktopVersion bridge errors

`refreshDesktopVersion()` is called best-effort with `void` from
`checkUpdates()`, `startUpdatePoller()`, and the window focus handler.
If the IPC bridge rejects (main process shutting down during reload,
bridge not yet ready on first paint), the rejection surfaces as an
unhandled promise rejection in the renderer. Wrap the call in try/catch
and return null on failure so callers can keep the existing
fire-and-forget pattern safely.

* chore(desktop): drop work duplicated by other in-flight PRs

- composer/text-utils.ts: revert paste-image dedupe — PR NousResearch#37596
  ships the same fix with a cleaner content-key approach and a
  Vitest file (text-utils.test.ts). Letting that PR own the change.
- docs/desktop-i18n-rfc.md: delete the i18n scoping RFC — PR NousResearch#37568
  has already shipped a working i18n surface (homegrown nanostores
  `t()` helper over en/zh dictionaries), so the RFC's framework
  recommendation (`react-intl`) is now obsolete and would just
  contradict the implementation that's actually landing.
