Summary

• refresh Environment info diff statistics in the background while a runtime task is active and immediately after it finishes
• make explicit Environment info refreshes bypass the short-lived cache so they always read the latest Git state
• document the refresh behavior and add unit plus real desktop E2E regression coverage

Root cause

Environment info was reloaded only when the workspace target changed or when a closed floating panel was reopened. A docked panel therefore kept the initial diff statistics throughout task execution. Explicit refreshes could also reuse the 1.5-second environment cache and return the same stale values.

Impact

The change count now updates every five seconds without a loading flicker while an agent is working, refreshes once more when the task becomes idle, and always performs a fresh Git read when the user explicitly refreshes the panel.

Validation

• pnpm --filter wework exec vitest run src/api/environment.test.ts src/components/layout/DesktopWorkbenchLayout.test.tsx (159 tests passed)
• pnpm --filter wework typecheck
• ESLint on all changed Wework source, test, and E2E files
• pnpm --filter wework e2e:desktop using an isolated real Tauri app, Executor, and Codex tool execution; asserted Environment info changed from +0/-0 to +1/-0
• pre-push Wework ESLint, TypeScript, and full unit test checks

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements

  • Environment information now refreshes periodically while tasks are running.
  • Environment changes refresh immediately when a task finishes.
  • Reopening or manually refreshing Environment info retrieves the latest workspace status instead of displaying cached results.

• Documentation

  • Updated English and Chinese user guides to explain environment change refresh behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Environment info loading now supports forced cache bypasses, refreshes periodically during runtime tasks and after completion, and is validated through unit, layout, and desktop E2E tests. English and Chinese documentation describe the refresh behavior.

Changes

Environment refresh behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Forced environment loading and API propagation wework/src/api/environment.ts, wework/src/api/environment.test.ts, wework/src/features/workbench/...	Adds the force loading option, bypasses cached environment results when requested, propagates it through workbench APIs, and tests refreshed Git statistics.
Runtime refresh orchestration wework/src/components/layout/useWorkbenchPaneEnvironment.ts, wework/src/components/layout/DesktopWorkbenchMain.tsx, wework/src/components/layout/DesktopWorkbenchLayout.test.tsx	Refreshes environment information on runtime activation, every five seconds while active, and after task completion; layout tests verify the forced reload.
Desktop task-flow validation and documentation wework/e2e/desktop/task-flow.e2e.mjs, docs/en/user-guide/coding/git-workspace-projects.md, docs/zh/user-guide/coding/git-workspace-projects.md	Seeds a committed Git workspace, controls initial tool execution, verifies +0/-0 then +1/-0 counts, and documents periodic and completion refreshes.
