* feat(ui): move app chrome into a topbar and dock the session workspace rail
The desktop shell now uses a slim topbar for brand, primary navigation
(Chat + pinned routes + More menu), command-palette search, pairing,
theme, and Settings; the left column slims down to a sessions-only
panel (Cmd+B hides it entirely — the 78px icon rail is gone). Split
view drops the fixed geometry-mirroring toolbar for in-flow per-pane
headers. The session workspace rail can dock right or bottom inside
its pane — drag its header between edges or use the dock button — and
the collapsed strip's file glyph is now a real button (it used to be a
dead, button-looking span) with a changed-file count badge. The Mac
app's injected chrome CSS slims down accordingly; its drag-region
geometry is unchanged and the topbar brand strip stays passive under
it.
* chore(ui): regenerate locale bundles for topbar and workspace dock strings
* fix(ui): keep the native macOS drawer clear of the titlebar overlay
The narrow-width slide-over drawer sits fixed at the window top, over
the AppKit traffic lights and drag regions. The old Mac-app-injected
CSS padded .sidebar-shell for this; that rule moved web-side for the
desktop topbar, so restore drawer clearance here for both the app
drawer and the in-drawer settings sidebar.
* chore(ui): translate topbar and workspace dock strings; regen docs map
Roughly one load in ten, someone else walks across the footer ledge
once and leaves: usually a stranger lobster wearing a palette the
resident pet does not (hover: 'a stranger'), and on rare loads a crab
(hover: 'definitely a lobster') - wide shell, eye stalks, walks
strictly sideways, smug about it. Passers never perch, never react,
and never count for the Lobsterdex. Planned by a pure per-seed
function, gated by the visits setting, skipped under reduced motion,
and their timers reset with the seed and clean up on disconnect.
The pet watches your pointer between acts (facing follows the cursor,
throttled, reduced-motion inert). Press-and-hold now pets it - content
closed eyes and a floating heart - while a quick tap stays a poke.
Run endings are honest: resolveLobsterRunOutcome picks the most recently
ended session (endedAt first, activity stamps as fallback) so successes
cheer, failures earn a sympathetic droop with sagging antennae, and
user-aborted runs just get an acknowledging startle. Runs longer than
ten minutes summon the pet into a settled vigil pose that pauses all
acts until the run ends.
* fix(ui): normalize Unicode line/paragraph separators in markdown
LLM outputs can contain U+2028/U+2029 chars that split() ignores,
causing content to render as one unbroken line in the chat UI.
Define LINE_SEP_RE using String.fromCodePoint() and apply it
alongside existing \r\n normalization in all five markdown
processing entry points. Mirrors normalizeDisplayLineBreaks()
in exec-approval-command-display.
* fix(ui): normalize markdown line breaks once

Arrivals (visits and offline summons) log their palette id into a
best-effort localStorage set. Settings -> Appearance gains a Lobsterdex
row: mini canonical lobsters for all twelve palettes, seen ones in
color (grails keep their glow/translucency via the palette classes),
unseen ones as dim silhouettes, with a seen/total count. Minis render
standalone (closed-lid layer inline-hidden) since they live outside the
pet's CSS context. New quickSettings.appearance strings synced across
locale bundles.
The dreams page's generic sleeper is replaced by the agent's own seeded
lobster (same look system as the sidebar pet) rendered with a new
sleeping option: pupils hidden, closed-lid curves inline-visible so the
cameo needs no lobster-pet CSS context. Palette vars are supplied by
the cameo wrapper. Deletes the bespoke dreams svg.
December visitors can roll a santa hat and Oct 20-31 a pumpkin (extra
weighted entries joining the accessory pool on the right dates; one
roll either way so seeds keep the rest of their look). On Nov 24 - the
repository's birthday (GitHub created_at 2025-11-24) - every visitor
dresses as the classic-logo retro with a party hat and confetti-colored
z's. Look generation takes an injectable date so seasonal behavior is
pure and testable; existing look tests pin a neutral date.
~12% of loads plan a molt: during the first idle act the pet shivers,
squashes, and pops one size tier bigger, leaving its old shell behind
as a frozen, washed-out silhouette that fades over a minute. The shell
keeps the true pre-molt size, respects dismissal and the visits
setting, and its timer resets with the seed. ~4% of loads are twin
days: a mini copycat ('<name> Jr.') tags along on the parent's trailing
side and mirrors every act a beat later via an act-delay variable
threaded through the act animations. Rare-event plans are pure
per-seed functions so tests probe them directly.
Every pet gets a seeded name shown via native hover tooltip (rare
palettes carry signature names: Goldie, Boo, Picasso, Patches, Lantern,
Blueberry, OG). A busy->idle mode flip now earns a cheer act (double hop
with a mid-air twirl, claws up) instead of a startle, so the lobster
celebrates finished runs. Three fast pokes make it grumpy for a minute
(angry brows + frown overlay); ten pokes send it off in a huff until a
later scheduled visit (offline pets are on duty and never huff).
Visits between 22:00 and 06:00 local always act sleepy regardless of
personality.
Reasoning header drops the '(Default is Off)' reset text and the verbose
'Default (Off)' value: inherited defaults render as a muted level word with
no reset, overrides render strong with an icon-only reset. The Faster/
Smarter scale row is removed along with its i18n keys, and the menu gets
tighter dimensions (392px wide, shorter model rows). Screen readers keep the
verbose default phrasing via aria-valuetext.
The sidebar pet becomes a seeded guest: ~25% of loads never get a
visit, the rest see arrivals after 15s-3min, stays of 1.5-5min, and
returns after 6-18min, all from a dedicated seeded RNG stream. Each
arrival re-rolls its perch: the classic ledge above the footer divider
or standing inside the footer bar next to the gateway status dot
(size-clamped). Gateway disconnects always summon the pet - even shy
ones - until the connection returns. Right-click shoos it away for the
rest of the page load and also beats offline summons. A new 'Lobster
visits' toggle in Settings -> Appearance (client-side UiSettings pref,
only opt-out persists, live via the theme.refresh republish channel)
disables visits entirely. New quickSettings.appearance i18n strings
synced across locale bundles.
* feat(ui): redesign cron/tasks summary cards and give both nav routes distinct icons
* fix(i18n): translate new control-ui strings and resync raw-copy baseline
* improve(webchat): replace picker speed buttons with a fast-mode toggle
Speed is now one bolt toggle per provider contract: OpenAI toggles the
priority tier (Standard/Fast), other fast-mode providers toggle between the
inherited default and fast; auto and explicit standard stay reachable via
/fast and render truthfully. openrouter is removed from the supported set
because it has no runtime fast-mode mapping. Also fixes a render freeze
shipped with the immediate-apply picker: the slider drag preview wrote
textContent into a Lit-managed span, ejecting its ChildPart markers and
breaking every later menu render.
* fix(webchat): keep unmapped-provider speed overrides clear-only
* fix(webchat): make the active speed toggle always write an explicit off
Adds three seeded shape traits composable with all existing looks:
round/squat/slender builds via aspect-ratio stretch (svg renders with
preserveAspectRatio=none so eyes, claws, accessories, and rare-variant
geometry stay aligned), dainty/regular/mighty claw sizes scaled on the
paths inside the claw groups so wave/snip act animations still compose,
and a ~30% tail fan with lobes peeking out behind the lower body. Shape
rolls come after the original traits in the RNG sequence, so existing
seeds keep their palette and personality. The sprite svg gains
overflow: visible so scaled mighty claws are not clipped at the viewBox
edge; the host strip still owns the ledge clipping.
Session menu items (Open chat, Pin, Mark unread, Rename, Fork, Workboard,
Archive, Delete) and native link menu items (Sidebar, Browser, Copy) now
render right-aligned accelerator hints and activate on bare letter keys
while the menu is open. Disabled items and modified keystrokes are ignored;
buttons expose aria-keyshortcuts.
Closes#103086
* feat(ui): drop the desktop top bar in favor of sidebar navigation
The Control UI top bar only rendered the OpenClaw › agent › page breadcrumb
on desktop, duplicating the sidebar. Desktop now renders no topbar row; the
row returns solely as the chat split toolbar's backdrop. Narrow viewports
keep the header (drawer toggle, brand, command-palette search) and now show
the brand across the whole drawer range. Routing already uses pushState, so
browser back/forward traverses navigation.
* feat(macos): add back/forward controls to the dashboard window
Native titlebar buttons next to the traffic lights drive WKWebView history,
which carries the Control UI's pushState navigation; enabled state tracks
canGoBack/canGoForward via KVO and trackpad swipe gestures are enabled too.
Back/forward traversals to entries from a replaced gateway endpoint cancel
silently instead of opening a dead URL in the system browser.
* fix(macos): keep the dashboard drag strip off the web content column
With the desktop topbar row removed, the 28px mid-window drag region sat on
top of the content column (chat thread has no top padding) and swallowed
clicks as window drags. Shrink it to a 12px edge strip; the sidebar region
over the reserved native-chrome padding stays the primary drag surface.
* feat(usage): route claude-cli to Anthropic plan usage with plan label and billing
* feat(webchat): redesign context popover with plan-usage bars and API-cost gating
* fix(usage): match plan usage across CLI provider aliases and source plan label from synced auth profile
* docs(plugins): document plan metadata on usage auth token
* chore(usage): document provider-level billing attribution limits, fix overview test types
* fix(webchat): avoid map-spread in quota group collection
* test(webchat): deflake subscription popover reset fixture
