feat(desktop): YOLO toggle in the status bar (per-session, TUI parity) - #38517
Merged
Conversation
Adds a clickable "YOLO" item to the desktop status bar that flips per-session approval bypass via the existing `config.set yolo` gateway RPC (the same one the TUI uses). It reads as normal gray when off and amber/yellow when on, tracking the dark/light theme. To keep the indicator honest across resume/session-switch, the gateway now reports the live per-session yolo flag in `_session_info`, which the desktop hydrates into a new `$yoloActive` atom on `session.info` events and on session create/resume.

Relocates the status-bar YOLO item from the left group to the right group, immediately before the model summary/picker.
The status bar could show YOLO "on" while approvals still ran because _session_info mirrored HERMES_YOLO_MODE (process env), not the per-session flag that config.set yolo actually toggles. - Report only session-scoped yolo in session.info - config.set yolo accepts value=1|0 and emits session.info after change - Desktop uses explicit set (not blind toggle); arms on new-chat draft and applies after session.create - Yellow background when on, normal text (not yellow text)
Use a light amber wash with primary body text and a darker bolt icon instead of yellow-on-yellow. Armed new-chat state gets a subtle inset ring.
Drop the YOLO label; show only the bolt with a bit more horizontal padding. Active state uses background #f4e381.

type/feature
YOLO is now a desktop preference that survives restart: turning it on keeps every new and resumed session in YOLO until the user turns it off, instead of resetting per session. The gateway clears per-session yolo on resume, so the persisted preference is re-applied on create/resume. Also fixes the status-bar active fill to use the --chrome-action-hover CSS var (correct Tailwind arbitrary-property syntax).
Swap the outline bolt for IconBoltFilled when YOLO is on so the active state reads as a solid lightning glyph.
Instead of showing "not available in the desktop palette", /yolo now flips the same per-session/sticky YOLO state as the status-bar control (arming the preference when there's no active session yet) and is listed in the desktop slash palette.
Reverts the global approvals.mode write — the desktop bolt is now a pure per-session toggle, identical in scope to the TUI's Shift+Tab, so it can never change CLI/TUI/cron behavior. The status bar still reads the *effective* bypass state in session.info (per-session OR approvals.mode=off OR HERMES_YOLO_MODE), so it stops lying when a global policy already auto-approves commands.

Summary
#f4e381fill when on.config.set yologateway RPC — the exact same session-scoped flag as the TUI's Shift+Tab //yolo. It does not write the globalapprovals.mode, so it can never change CLI / TUI / cron behavior./yolonow works in the desktop too: it maps to this control (and is listed in the slash palette) instead of returning "not available".Honest status display
The bolt previously only reflected the per-session flag, so it lied when a global policy already auto-approved commands (e.g.
approvals.mode: offinconfig.yaml). Now:_session_inforeports the effective bypass state — the same condition the approval guard ORs together: per-session yolo ORapprovals.mode == "off"ORHERMES_YOLO_MODE.$yoloActiveatom is a plain reflection of that, hydrated fromsession.infoevents andapplyRuntimeInfoon session create/resume. Persistence lives in the backend (config / per-session), not in the client.Files
