feat(desktop): share macOS permission onboarding - #11289
Conversation
ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a substantial native macOS permission workflow shared by snapshot capture and Safari cookie imports, including new IPC, OS process tracking, filesystem permission checks, and user-facing gating. It also introduces static-analysis diagnostic suppressions and touches sensitive browser-cookie permission behavior, so the scope and risk require human review.

Continue checking named Safari profiles when the default jar is unreadable.
The default and named jars use separate paths, and safariAccessGranted tests each path independently. When the default jar exists but cannot be opened, the early return skips named profiles that BrowserImport can import. Continue only when the default jar is accessible:
Proposed fix

Give each Allow button a permission-specific accessible name.
When multiple permissions are pending, each button exposes only the name “Allow.” Screen-reader users cannot distinguish the Screen Recording action from the Accessibility action.
Set an accessible name such as aria-label={Allow ${permission.title}}.

Merges `upstream/main` at `e81606494` into the fork, from merge base `02297e3db` — 47 upstream commits. The theme of this range is scopable settings: upstream made every server setting addressable at a scope (global / environment / project) with per-project overrides, which is why 11 of the 15 conflicts are settings files. The rest is conversation rewind, floating device streams, and a large batch of message-sync and markdown-streaming perf work. ## Merge stats - Landed (`HEAD^1..HEAD`): 277 files, 17243+/4783− - Upstream range (base..`HEAD^2`): 275 files, 17011+/4749− - Fork delta (`HEAD^2..HEAD`): 756 files, 76559+/2096− The two file lists reconcile: the 3 extra landed files are `docs/fork/inventory.json`, `docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md` and `docs/fork/gaps.md`; the 1 file in the range that did not land is `apps/web/src/routes/settings.integrations.tsx`, resolved `ours` per the `moatless-admin-integrations-route` inventory entry (that route is a Moatless admin page here, and upstream's embedded-surface settings live at `/settings/browser`). All 15 conflicts were resolved by the verdict `preflight.mjs` printed. No `decide` conflict was left unresolved. Details, including the owned-concern sweep (no keyword hits) and the unsupported-method reconciliation (0 ADD, 0 DROP, 2 KEEP, 4 known exceptions), are in the dated entry in `docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md`. Two findings worth naming here: - **A silent auto-merge failure.** pingdotgg#11285 changed the mini-player target from a tab id to a source union. Git updated upstream's own assertion in `PreviewView.test.tsx` and left the fork-only "under the frame capability" case next to it still asserting the old string. No conflict marker, no `resolution-check.mjs` finding — only the fork's own test suite caught it. - **Stale inventory anchors.** Upstream moved the project Actions section out of `ProjectSettingsPanel.tsx` into a new `ProjectActionsSettings.tsx`, which is where `scriptsEditable` is now derived and where upstream's new writing Reset button is gated. Four inventory entries were re-pointed in this merge rather than silently dropping their deltas. ## Usable as-is Client work the fork can expose with no Moatless backend change: - Scoped settings UI and the two-select scope picker (pingdotgg#10639, pingdotgg#10636) — `SettingsScopeContext`, `ScopedSwitch`, `settingKeys`, the `mixed` state. The reading half works against Moatless today. - Float device streams over chat, as a source union rather than a tab id (pingdotgg#11285); recording status on floating previews (pingdotgg#11312); floating preview using composer margins (pingdotgg#11290). - PR-page selections into new drafts (pingdotgg#11296); projects-on-another-machine badge (pingdotgg#11323); Usage opening on Limits (pingdotgg#11261). - macOS permission onboarding (pingdotgg#11289); hold-to-quit fix (pingdotgg#11016); preview keystrokes kept out of the composer (pingdotgg#11354). - Message-sync and markdown-streaming perf: pingdotgg#11302, pingdotgg#11029, pingdotgg#11211, pingdotgg#11198, pingdotgg#11196, pingdotgg#11193, pingdotgg#11181, pingdotgg#11206. - Assorted web/mobile fixes: pingdotgg#11361, pingdotgg#10757, pingdotgg#11357, pingdotgg#10571, pingdotgg#11348, pingdotgg#11349, pingdotgg#11281, pingdotgg#11188, pingdotgg#11283, pingdotgg#11292, pingdotgg#11187, pingdotgg#11228, pingdotgg#11103, pingdotgg#10612, pingdotgg#11032, pingdotgg#11233, pingdotgg#11234, pingdotgg#11304, pingdotgg#11240. ## Unsupported in Moatless / needs implementation - **Conversation rewind** — `thread.conversation.revert` (pingdotgg#11358). A new member of `DispatchableClientOrchestrationCommand` in `packages/contracts/src/orchestration.ts`, bringing the fork to 30 command types (28 upstream's, 2 fork-only). Moatless does not dispatch it, and a client command cannot be refused per-type, so "Edit from here" on `RevertUserMessageButton` is reachable whenever the turn is idle and does nothing. Needs backend dispatch. - **Per-project setting overrides** — the `projectSettingsOverrides` capability and the 17-key `ProjectSettingsOverrides` record (pingdotgg#11176). Two pieces are needed: the capability reported by `/.well-known/t3/environment`, and `server.updateSettings` served at project scope. Until both land, the capability filter in `scopedSettings.ts:170` and `ProjectActionsSettings.tsx:72` drops the write on the client — the control renders, the user toggles it, and **the write never leaves the browser**. A silent no-op is worse than a hidden control or an honest refusal; recorded in `docs/fork/gaps.md`. - **Default thread permissions** — `defaultRuntimeMode` (pingdotgg#11346). Reads fine, cannot be saved. Same `server.updateSettings` write path as above, one level deeper, not a separate gap. ## Backend behavior to consider reproducing in Moatless Upstream server-side work the fork cannot use directly, but that Moatless would benefit from: - **Queue messages during context compaction** (pingdotgg#11107, `ProviderCommandReactor.ts`) — a message sent while compaction is in flight is currently dropped rather than held. - **Restore provider history and prompts when rewinding** (pingdotgg#11338, `CheckpointReactor.ts`) — the counterpart to `thread.conversation.revert` above; rewinding the thread without rewinding provider state leaves the two out of sync. - **Detect file renames in review diffs** (pingdotgg#8086, `apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts`) — a rename currently reads as a whole-file delete plus a whole-file add. - **Preserve qualified Codex model ids** (pingdotgg#9921, `ModelManifest.ts` + `CodexTextGeneration.ts`). - **Model defaults** astra-medium / fable-5.1-medium (pingdotgg#11347). All five are recorded under the runtime-fixes entry in `docs/fork/gaps.md`. ## Verification `verify.mjs` (full pass): 7 of 8 checks green — `duplicate-adds`, `tripwires`, `resolution-check`, `unsupported-methods`, `fmt:check`, `lint`, `typecheck`. `test` is red on **`@t3tools/desktop` only**, at `scripts/browser-secret-native.test.mjs > bundled libsecret helper`: `Command failed: pkg-config --cflags --libs libsecret-1`. This is the standing sandbox gap, not a merge regression — the test file's last commit is `498ab9c39` (pingdotgg#7261, before the merge base), `git diff --name-only` against both merge parents is empty for it, and `pkg-config --exists libsecret-1` fails in this environment. It is already an entry in `docs/fork/gaps.md`. Every other package passes, including `@t3tools/web` (5079 tests) after the `PreviewView.test.tsx` fix above. Three typecheck failures the merge introduced were fixed in it: `SETTINGS_CATEGORY_SCOPES` in `settingsSearch.ts` was missing all 9 fork-only settings paths, and two `filterAvailableSettingsSearchItems` literals in `settingsSearch.test.ts` were missing the fork's `forgejoEnabled` field. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --- Moatless task: https://moatless.soaplabstest.com/tasks/e70b41b3-779d-43b8-8f34-7de516548e7c

macOS snapshot setup and Safari imports sent users to System Settings with separate permission instructions and no app to drag into the list.
Share the native permission helper across Screen Recording, Accessibility, and Safari Full Disk Access. The compact panel follows the bottom of Settings's content column, uses the packaged app icon, and has one rounded outline with transparent corners. Its sandboxed preload stays independently bundled. One scoped service owns the panel and cleans up its watcher, timers, and IPC listener.
Snapshots and Safari now also share the in-app permission checklist, status polling, and Continue gate. Allow opens the permission flow; the row changes to Allowed when access is detected. Continue remains explicit and requires every required grant. Checks pause while hidden, avoid overlapping requests, discard late completions, and block stale grants after errors. Safari probes cookie-file readability without importing cookies, including installations with only named profiles. Its restart guidance remains available.
Validation: 277 focused tests across 13 suites passed, plus an additional named-profile regression test. Desktop and web typechecks, targeted lint, desktop bundling, and the web production build passed. React Doctor reports no compiler errors; remaining warnings concern existing component complexity and exports. Full native permission/drop and integrated UI verification remain reserved for Julius's end-to-end round.
The native panel's appearance is unchanged from the earlier isolated Electron preview. That preview tracked actual Settings bounds, confirmed no scrolling and a decoded icon, and verified zero-alpha outer corners. Permission checks were stubbed as denied. The shared in-app Safari step has not been browser-verified.
