Summary

Attaching a menu to a tray icon makes the left click open that menu. The builder never said
otherwise, so on macOS and Windows the click never reached on_tray_icon_event in any visible
way: the icon showed the menu, and the menu item that opens the popup is Linux-only. The usage
popup #5452 added therefore had no way to open at all on the two platforms where the left click
is the interaction.

Left click is the popup now; right click is still the menu. Linux keeps the default, because its
StatusNotifier hosts deliver no usable click event — the menu is the entire interaction there, and
releasing it would remove the only way in.

This was found by clicking the icon on a locally built bundle, not by reading. The code reads
correctly either way, which is why review kept missing it: the handler exists, the event fires,
and the wrong surface simply appears on top of it.

tray.rs now reads its own production half at compile time and fails if a menu is attached
without releasing the left click. Nothing in the type system connects those two calls and the
failure is silent, so the pairing needs a check that reads both. The source is sliced at the test
attribute on purpose: the assertions quote the call names they look for, and scanning the whole
file would match the test's own string literals and keep passing after the real calls were
deleted.

Verification

  • cargo fmt --check, cargo check and cargo check --tests on the desktop crate: exit 0.
  • Reproduced the defect on a locally built bundle: a synthetic left click on the status item opened
    the tray menu instead of the popup. Screenshot of the pre-fix behaviour is in the thread below.
  • Repository suites, typecheck and build: NOT RUN on the development machine, per the standing
    rule; hosted CI at the exact head is the authority.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • On non-Linux platforms, clicking the tray icon now opens the usage popup directly instead of the menu.
    • The tray menu now includes a “Show Usage” option on all supported platforms.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed the usage popup appearing in the top-left corner; it now opens centered relative to the tray icon.
    • Preserved existing tray menu behavior on Linux, where left-click handling varies by system tray environment.

Screenshot

Opened from the tray menu on a locally built bundle, against a runtime started with an isolated
configuration home. The dashboard behind the panel shows through the material at the left edge,
and the window is anchored under the icon rather than clamped into a corner.

The usage popup on the macOS HUD material, anchored under the tray icon, with the dashboard showing through at the left edge

What the second round turned up

Releasing the left click was not enough on macOS. tray-icon 0.24.2 calls
NSStatusItem.setMenu whenever a menu is attached, so AppKit pops that menu on mouse-down before
the crate's own handler — which is where menu_on_left_click is read — ever runs. The flag is
therefore inert on macOS whenever a menu exists, and it took a built bundle to find that; both
readings of the code look correct.

The Show Usage item is unconditional now, so every platform has a working path, and the menu
handler anchors on the tray icon's rect instead of passing a zero anchor that clamped the window
into the top-left corner.

Attaching a menu to a tray icon makes the left click open that menu, and the
builder never said otherwise. So on macOS and Windows the click never reached
on_tray_icon_event in any visible way: the icon showed the menu, and the menu item
that opens the popup is Linux-only. The popup #5452 added had no way to open at all
on the two platforms where the left click is the whole interaction.

Found by clicking it. The change reads correctly either way, which is why static
review kept missing it — the handler is there, the event fires, and the wrong
surface appears on top.

Linux keeps the default. Its StatusNotifier hosts deliver no usable click event, so
the menu is the entire interaction there and releasing it would remove the only way
in.

The pairing is now a test. Nothing in the type system connects .menu() to
show_menu_on_left_click(), and the failure is quiet, so tray.rs reads its own
production half at compile time and fails if a menu is attached without releasing
the click. It slices the source at the test attribute because the assertions quote
the call names they look for, and scanning the whole file would find the test's own
literals and keep passing after the real calls were gone.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The tray exposes “Show Usage” on every platform. Non-Linux left-click opens the usage popup instead of the menu. The popup uses the tray icon center as its anchor. Linux retains its default click behavior.

Changes

Tray usage access

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cross-platform usage menu wiring
desktop/src-tauri/src/tray.rs
The “Show Usage” item is created, added to the menu, and handled on every platform.
Platform-specific tray builder
desktop/src-tauri/src/tray.rs
The builder attaches the menu before calling show_menu_on_left_click(false) on non-Linux platforms.
Tray-relative popup positioning and validation
desktop/src-tauri/src/tray.rs
The usage popup uses the tray icon center instead of a hardcoded origin. tray_anchor falls back to (0.0, 0.0) when no tray rectangle is available. Source-based tests verify the builder order, platform guard, and un-gated usage item.
Popup focus handling
desktop/src-tauri/src/popup.rs
The focus-loss condition moves into the match guard without changing behavior.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Associate the Linux guard with the release call.

Lines 464-467 only check that both strings occur in the production source. The test passes if #[cfg(not(target_os = "linux"))] moves to an unrelated statement while show_menu_on_left_click(false) becomes unconditional. The test then does not prove that Linux retains its default menu behavior.

Normalize or parse the source, then assert that this exact cfg attribute applies to the show_menu_on_left_click(false) statement.

Proposed test change
-        assert!(
-            source.contains("#[cfg(not(target_os = \"linux\"))]"),
-            "Linux delivers no usable click event, so it must keep the menu on left click"
-        );
+        let normalized = source
+            .chars()
+            .filter(|character| !character.is_whitespace())
+            .collect::<String>();
+        assert!(
+            normalized.contains(
+                r#"#[cfg(not(target_os="linux"))]letbuilder=builder.show_menu_on_left_click(false);"#
+            ),
+            "only non-Linux targets may release the left click"
+        );

Based on learnings: source-based regression tests must check the semantic root cause rather than a superficial formatting variant.

Source: Learnings

Releasing the left click is not enough on macOS, and the reason is upstream:
tray-icon assigns the menu to the NSStatusItem itself, so AppKit pops that menu on
mouse-down before the crate's own click handler runs. show_menu_on_left_click(false)
sets an ivar that handler reads, and the handler never gets the chance. Verified by
reading tray-icon 0.24.2's macOS implementation after a locally built bundle kept
showing the menu with the flag set.

So the icon click cannot be the only way in. The Show Usage item was Linux-only
because Linux hosts differ in whether a click reaches the application at all; that
same reasoning applies to macOS for a different cause, and it leaves Windows as the
only platform the icon alone would have served. The item is unconditional now.

The click release stays: it is correct on Windows, where it does what it says.

The guard covers the item too. Platform-gating it once already left two platforms
with no way to the popup, so the test now fails if any line that mentions the item
sits under a cfg attribute.
The menu handler passed a zero anchor, which popup::geometry clamps into the
top-left corner of the work area. That was tolerable while the item was a Linux
fallback; now that the menu is the ordinary way in on macOS, a window in the far
corner reads as misplaced rather than as a menu.

It reads the tray icon's rect and anchors on its centre. A host that cannot report
a rect still gets the clamped corner, which is the best answer available there.
Captured from a locally built bundle on macOS, against a runtime started with an
isolated configuration home. The dashboard behind the panel shows through the
material at the left edge, and the window is anchored under the icon rather than
clamped into a corner.

이 PR은 트레이 아이콘에서 사용량 창을 여는 길을 고칩니다. #5452가 그 창을 넣었고, 이미 dev에 머지되어 있습니다. 메뉴를 붙이면 왼쪽 클릭이 메뉴를 엽니다. 맥과 윈도우에서는 그 클릭이 창까지 닿지 않았습니다. "Show Usage"는 리눅스 메뉴에만 있었습니다. 왼쪽 클릭이 주된 동작인 두 곳에서는 창을 열 수가 없었습니다.

고친 뒤 "Show Usage"는 모든 운영체제 메뉴에 있습니다. 리눅스가 아닐 때는 show_menu_on_left_click(false)를 호출합니다. 메뉴로 열 때는 화면 왼쪽 위 (0, 0) 대신 트레이 아이콘 가운데에 창을 붙입니다. 리눅스는 클릭이 앱까지 오지 않아서 메뉴를 그대로 둡니다. 바뀌는 코드는 desktop/src-tauri/src/tray.rs 하나입니다. base는 dev입니다.

라인 desktop/src-tauri/src/tray.rs 108-111 - 이 주석은 첫 커밋 문장 그대로입니다. 팝업 메뉴가 리눅스만이고, 왼쪽 클릭이 팝업이라고 적혀 있습니다. 바로 위 71-77줄은 다릅니다. 맥은 왼쪽 클릭을 팝업으로 돌릴 수 없고, 메뉴 항목이 모든 곳에 있어야 한다고 합니다. tray-icon 0.24.2 맥 코드는 메뉴가 있으면 NSStatusItem.setMenu를 호출합니다. 그 메뉴는 앱의 클릭 처리보다 먼저 뜹니다. show_menu_on_left_click(false)는 그 처리 안의 값만 바꿉니다. 작성자가 로컬 번들에서 본 것과 같습니다. 이 플래그가 아이콘 클릭을 팝업으로 바꾸는 곳은 윈도우입니다. 윈도우 구현은 왼쪽 버튼이 올라올 때 그 값을 보고 메뉴를 띄울지 정합니다. 맥에서 창을 여는 길은 "Show Usage"입니다.

라인 desktop/src-tauri/src/tray.rs 148-154 - 아이콘 클릭은 프록시가 없으면 메인 창을 엽니다. "Show Usage"는 그때 아무 것도 하지 않고 돌아갑니다. 맥에서는 메뉴가 보통의 길이므로, 런타임이 없으면 눌러도 창이 없습니다.

라인 desktop/src-tauri/src/tray.rs 450-456 - tray_anchor는 논리 좌표를 배율 없이 물리 좌표에 넣습니다. popup::geometry는 그 숫자를 물리 픽셀로 읽습니다. 지금 tray-icon 0.24.2는 맥과 윈도우에서 물리 좌표를 주고, 리눅스는 사각형을 주지 않습니다. 이 줄은 오늘 실행되지 않습니다. 나중에 논리 좌표가 오면 창이 아이콘 옆이 아니라 화면 왼쪽 위에 가깝게 붙습니다.

라인 desktop/src-tauri/src/tray.rs 486-503 - 테스트는 파일 글자만 봅니다. .menu(&menu) 뒤에 show_menu_on_left_click(false)가 있는지만 확인하고, #[cfg(not(target_os = "linux"))] 문자열이 파일 어딘가에 있는지만 봅니다. 그 속성이 다른 줄을 감싸도 통과합니다. 483-484줄 설명도 메뉴 항목이 아직 리눅스만이라고 적습니다. 맥에서 왼쪽 클릭이 팝업이 되는지는 이 테스트가 보지 않습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

맥에서 왼쪽 클릭이 메뉴로 남는 것을 이 PR의 완성으로 볼지입니다. 제목은 왼쪽 클릭이 팝업에 닿는다고 읽히고, 맥의 길은 "Show Usage"입니다. 프록시가 없을 때 그 메뉴도 메인 창을 열지, 그대로 조용히 끝낼지도 정하면 됩니다.

너의 추천

모든 운영체제에 "Show Usage"를 둔 것과, 메뉴로 열 때 아이콘 가운데에 창을 두는 것은 그대로 두세요. 108-111 주석을 71-77줄과 같게 고치세요. 왼쪽 클릭이 팝업인 곳은 윈도우라고 적으면 됩니다. "Show Usage"에도 프록시가 없을 때 메인 창을 여는 클릭 처리와 같은 길을 두세요. 테스트는 그 속성이 show_menu_on_left_click(false) 줄을 감싸는지까지 보면 됩니다. base는 dev입니다. types.ts/config.ts 분할이 아니고, 같은 트레이 클릭을 고치는 다른 열린 PR은 없습니다. #5452는 이미 머지된 앞선 PR입니다.

Two things the format step had been hiding. It gates clippy and the Rust tests, so
neither had run on the popup since it landed.

clippy rejects the nested `if` inside the `Focused(false)` arm; it is a match guard
now, with the same behaviour.

The left-click guard matched the bare call name, and the comments above the menu
explain why that flag is inert on macOS — so the assertion found its own prose
earlier in the file than the builder and concluded the order was wrong. It matches
the call site now. The ordering comparison is gone: it asserted nothing the presence
of the call site does not already say.

cargo test --lib tray:: and popup:: pass locally.
