Reviewed at a9959c7c943bcb9ea208c0d76c4bd5c41f1f771d on Wes's behalf.

No blocking findings. I traced the optional glass/native-vibrancy handshake, theme and preference state, settings reorganizations, runtime/mesh presentation changes, sidebar drag styling, and the focused E2E coverage. The latest head also addresses the earlier automated comments.

Validation on the exact clean head:

  • desktop TypeScript typecheck passed
  • Biome check passed for the changed implementation and focused E2E files
  • desktop test suite passed: 4,544/4,544
  • git diff --check passed
  • GitHub currently reports the PR mergeable with all reported checks successful or skipped
  • a merge-tree simulation against current origin/main (f8f2ef0440e7a074223ec04dc3b32d817b8b9d9b) completed without conflicts

I am leaving this as a non-approving review because Wes has not delegated approval authority for this PR.

Keep the prominent active-tab treatment opt-in so fresh and existing profiles
without the new preference retain Buzz's established selected-row surface.
Update the focused E2E regression to cover the unset, enabled, and disabled
states.

Follow-up fix pushed at f7b942a1b77b87e657d4311cfec08e8e6e3415dd on Wes's behalf.

The prominent active-tab treatment now defaults to false, preserving Buzz's established subtle selected-row surface for profiles without the new preference. The focused E2E now explicitly covers the unset opt-in default, persisted enable, and persisted disable states.

Validation on the exact pushed head:

  • focused Playwright regression passed (1/1)
  • desktop TypeScript typecheck passed
  • Biome check passed for both changed files
  • mandatory pre-push gate passed, including desktop checks/typecheck/tests, mobile tests, Rust tests, Tauri checks, and branch-skew validation

Reviewed exact head 0d63df2b10c7935e55bb7e1f932259d541636cd4 on Wes's behalf.

No blocking findings. I re-reviewed the two post-review active-tab commits and the merge of current main, then rechecked the optional glass lifecycle/native-vibrancy handshake and the reorganized Appearance settings against the exact PR diff. The new default preserves the existing subtle Buzz selection unless the higher-contrast treatment is explicitly enabled; storage, Buzz-only application, theme switching, and focused E2E assertions are consistent.

Evidence at this head:

  • git diff --check be48ce98bd163899197b79a82ad5b2bcf0bc9b54..HEAD passes
  • the merge commit has no combined-diff conflict resolutions in the reviewed feature paths
  • GitHub reports the PR mergeable
  • every applicable reported check is green, including Desktop Core, smoke/integration E2E, macOS build, Rust lint, Windows, Semgrep, zizmor, and DCO

I am leaving this as a non-approving review because Wes has not delegated approval authority for this PR.

…5599)

Desktop input latency regressed sharply for users on v0.5.9 and worsened
on latest main: multi-second stalls when clicking back into the app,
slow fresh boots, intermittent lockups, and scroll/mouse degradation.
Reverting to `119a84897` (pre-0.5.9) was confirmed to resolve it,
isolating the regression to that range. Profiling a live production
renderer plus a commit-level audit of the range found three independent,
additive causes — fixed here — plus a long-standing `get_channels` cost
that made every remaining refetch expensive, also addressed here.

## 1. Focus-return refetch storm (`refetchOnWindowFocus`)

#5490 wired TanStack's `focusManager` to app focus and flipped ~20 query
sites to `refetchOnWindowFocus: true`. A focus return after >60s away
fires them all within milliseconds — and a click into an unfocused
window *is* a focus return, so the burst runs before the click is
processed. That is the "click into the composer, wait 5 seconds"
symptom, and it also explains why mouse input feels worse than keyboard
(clicks arrive with focus transitions; typing happens while already
focused). A 5-second `sample` of a live production renderer caught a
single window activity-state transition consuming ~1.25s of main-thread
time, dominated by `JSON.parse` in the focus listener's microtask drain.

#5535 already established the fix pattern but applied it to only two
families (channels, home-feed). This PR extends the same 5-minute
`staleTime` discipline to the remaining families: pulse (×5), workflows
(×4), agents (×4), forum (×2), presence, user-status, custom-emoji,
channel-templates, and the persona catalog. Polling cadences and
push-invalidation paths are untouched — interval refetches and
`invalidateQueries` both bypass `staleTime`, so live-update behavior is
unchanged. Each gated family exports its focus-refetch policy as an
options object that the production hook spreads into `useQuery`, and a
`focusRefetchPolicy.test.mjs` drives a `QueryObserver` with that same
production object — locking the policy behaviorally (fresh focus return
→ 0 fetches; stale → refetch) and failing if a hook's
`staleTime`/`refetchOnWindowFocus` wiring drifts.

Four families deliberately keep tighter freshness, all surfaces where
the 5-minute gate would suppress the only refresh path and none of which
feed the app-wide storm: `repo-sync-status` keeps its fresh focus
refetch (its inline comment documents the "committed in a terminal,
switched back to the app" flow as intended); the workflow-runs list
stale-gates at 10s because a remotely-started run has no push
invalidation and its conditional 1s poll is off while the cache shows no
active runs; the workflow list queries (`useChannelWorkflowsQuery` and
the all-channels aggregate) stale-gate at 10s because they have no poll
and no relay subscription, and mutation-driven invalidation only covers
this renderer — remote workflow creates/edits/deletes surface only via
focus refetch; and the managed-agent log stale-gates at one poll tick
(30s) so returning to a live agent log refreshes immediately. Run
approvals keep the 5-minute gate under
`RUN_APPROVALS_FOCUS_STALE_TIME_MS` — their focused 10s poll already
covers freshness.

## 2. Synchronous localStorage sweep on the boot/focus path

#5453's stale-cache sweep synchronously `getItem` + `JSON.parse`s every
whitelisted localStorage entry on the main thread (multi-MB on seasoned
profiles), scheduled with a `requestIdleCallback` timeout of 1.5s that
guaranteed it landed mid-boot, and re-armed on every hidden→visible
transition — stacking it onto the exact moment the focus storm fires.
#5454's `trimSelfProfileCaches()` additionally scanned every
localStorage key on every `writeSelfProfileCache()` call (which fires
per relay self-profile delivery at boot).

Now: the first sweep waits `BOOT_SWEEP_FLOOR_MS` (30s) after startup,
the scan is time-sliced across idle callbacks, and the visibility
trigger is removed — boot-delayed plus hourly still covers the 14-day
TTL contract. The sliced sweep re-checks staleness immediately before
each removal (a key rewritten fresh mid-sweep survives), isolates
per-key storage errors so one bad entry can't strand the rest of the
snapshot, defers oversized values once rather than parsing them on a
zero-budget slice, guarantees forward progress on timeout-fired
callbacks, and cancels its scheduled slice when stopped. The profile
trim keeps a lazily-initialized memoized key count so the common
under-cap write is O(1); the full parse scan runs only when the count
exceeds a cap, resyncs if external deletions made it stale, and a failed
scan skips the trim instead of aborting the write. Sweep semantics
(rules, TTLs, eviction) are unchanged, and tests cover the scheduling,
slice-progress, error-isolation, defer-once, and trim short-circuit
behaviors.

## 3. The macOS window was never opaque

#5478's glass appearance is correctly opt-in at the CSS layer, but the
compositor cost was baked in deeper than its native `on_webview_ready`
transparency call: the main window is declared `"transparent": true` in
`tauri.conf.json` (added for the original glass work in #1671), which
makes tao call `NSWindow.setOpaque(false)` at creation and resolve every
later `set_background_color(None)` to `clearColor` — and no runtime
`setOpaque(true)` path exists through tauri, while wry's runtime
background setter can only force the WKWebView's `drawsBackground` off,
never back on. So "restore the platform default" was unreachable: every
launch, glass or not, ran with a non-opaque NSWindow, defeating
WindowServer's opaque-window compositing fast path and forcing full
window compositing every frame — compounded by the existing
`backdrop-blur` chrome overlapping the scrolling timeline. This matches
the compositor-shaped symptoms (scroll and pointer input degrading
first).

The window is now created opaque (`"transparent": false`) and the
NSWindow layer is never made transparent at runtime. Glass never needed
a transparent window: behind-window `NSVisualEffectView` vibrancy
renders inside opaque windows (this is how Finder and Notes draw vibrant
sidebars); it only requires a transparent WKWebView canvas, which the
`set_window_vibrancy` enable path already establishes at runtime
(`macos-private-api` compiles that in independent of the window flag).
Enabling glass installs the vibrancy layer and then makes only the
webview canvas see-through; disabling clears the vibrancy layer — the
canvas may stay non-drawing afterwards (wry's flag is one-way at
runtime), which is harmless because glass-off CSS paints fully opaque
above an always-opaque NSWindow. The boot-path first-frame backing
writes touch only the NSWindow backing color and are therefore inert to
glass state regardless of how they order against the `ThemeProvider`'s
vibrancy call on a persisted-glass-on cold boot. Glass-off users (the
default) get an end-to-end opaque window from boot for the first time.

## 4. `get_channels`: serial round-trips and a multi-MB payload on every
refetch

The stale gates in (1) cut refetch frequency; this cuts the cost of the
refetches that legitimately remain (boot, and focus returns after more
than 5 minutes away — previously still a multi-second stall).
`get_channels` made ~8 fully serial relay round-trips (~3.2–3.6s at
1,100+ channels), then shipped the full `ChannelInfo` list — including
every channel's member pubkeys — across IPC, where the renderer's
`JSON.parse` of the multi-MB payload froze the main thread (the ~1.25s
stall captured in the live sample).

- **Concurrent stages**: the membership chain, the open-channel
directory scan, and the hidden-DM snapshot run concurrently, as do the
member-count and last-message queries that follow. The critical path
drops from ~8 sequential round-trips to 2 phases. Filters, limits,
pagination, and merge semantics are unchanged.
- **Not-modified short-circuit**: the command now takes a
client-supplied content hash (FNV-1a 64 over the channel list,
canonicalized by id and excluding `last_message_at`) and omits the
channel list from the response when nothing else changed. Last-message
timestamps — which change on nearly every message anywhere — ship as a
small separate map that the client overlays onto its cached list with
reference preservation, so React Query's structural sharing also skips
downstream re-renders. On a typical refocus the renderer parses
kilobytes instead of megabytes. The hash is stored in the query cache
itself, tying its lifecycle to the data it describes so a community
switch can never leak a stale hash.

The E2E mock bridge speaks the new payload shape — including the
complete `last_messages` map the client treats as authoritative — and
hash canonicalization plus overlay reference-preservation are
unit-tested on both sides.

…ng over the community rail (#5947)

## Summary

Collapsing the sidebar left a phantom copy of it painted over the
community/relay rail — opaquely on flat themes (vesper et al., which
made the rail look *removed*), and as ghost fragments (muted search-box
fill, truncated channel-name tails) on the Buzz themes whose chrome is
intentionally transparent for the gradient.

**Cause:** #4281 made the app-sidebar layer `overflow-visible` (the
huddle drawer needs to escape it). That removed the ancestor clipping
the offcanvas collapse relied on: the sidebar slides to `left:
-sidebar-width` but kept painting, exactly over the `z-0` rail (`z-10`
sidebar layer).

**Fix:** the offcanvas-collapsed sidebar container is now `invisible` +
`pointer-events-none`, with `visibility` added to the transition list so
the 200 ms slide-out still animates and the flip happens only at the
transition's end. Theme-independent; no per-theme CSS touched; the
huddle drawer's `overflow-visible` is preserved.

## Before / after

Left 420px of the app with the sidebar collapsed. Before = unpatched
`origin/main` @ 69107dc; after = this branch. Same seeded state, same

Before shots: ghost `⌘K` search chip + blue active-item pill painted
over the rail column; on vesper the opaque panel hides the rail buttons
entirely. After: the rail's community buttons (A, B) and `+` are visible
and clickable in all three themes.

cc @klopez4212 — this touches the layout your #4281/#5478 work shaped;
please confirm it doesn't defeat the huddle drawer or glass intentions.
The change deliberately hides only the *offcanvas-collapsed* container,
nothing in the expanded path.

## Test plan

- [x] New Playwright regression spec `sidebar-offcanvas-rail.spec.ts`
(buzz / buzz-dark / vesper): collapsed sidebar must be `visibility:
hidden` + `pointer-events: none`, community rail stays visible and
interactive. **Fails on unpatched build** (verified), passes with the
fix.
- [x] Full desktop unit suite: 4,954 pass / 0 fail
- [x] `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm check` (biome + file-size ratchet +
px-text + pubkey-truncation) green
- [x] Before/after screenshots above captured via the e2e harness on
both builds

* Projects v3: unify sharing, discussions, and issue ownership (block#5792)

## Summary

Projects v3 makes repository work shareable, discussion-aware, and
easier to scan in one coherent workspace. People can copy canonical
links, reopen the exact workspace tab, understand issue and pull-request
context at a glance, find related channel conversations, and assign or
unassign issues across Desktop and CLI.

- **Unified workspace** — top-level sections sit above repository
controls in one rounded workspace, with navigation positioned close to
the page heading. README and Files retain branch selection; every
section has a labeled icon header, and Issues and Pull Requests expose
creation from a consistent right-aligned action.
- **Repository management** — the repository selector is always
available, including single-repository projects. Its integrated add flow
lets project owners create a repository manually or select an existing
repository without a separate toolbar button.
- **Readable work-item lists** — issue and pull-request rows use
plain-language context instead of opaque metadata. Files, commits,
issues, pull requests, channels, and contributors share consistent row
density and right-aligned timestamps, while deterministic
fallback-avatar colors keep participants distinct on light backgrounds.
Inbox pull-request metadata wraps between complete phrases and truncates
long channel names instead of compressing copy into narrow columns.
- **Reliable entity links** — projects, repositories, issues, pull
requests, and commits have canonical `buzz://` links, preview cards, OS
deep-link routing, and tab-aware navigation. Reopening the same link
re-applies its destination instead of leaving the user on a locally
selected tab.
- **Related conversations** — repository and work-item views surface
channels discussing the current entity, including participants, channel
navigation, message context, and an explicit notice when discovery
reaches its 500-result cap.
- **Reversible issue ownership** — trusted assignment and unassignment
events work across Desktop, Tauri, `buzz-sdk`, and `buzz issues`.
Assignees appear in project views and the assigned inbox, while
authorized users can remove assignments directly from the assignee row.

Assignment state is derived chronologically from labeled Nostr notes.
Issue authors and repository owners may change any assignee; other users
may only assign or unassign themselves. Shared golden fixtures keep
entity-link grammar and validation aligned across TypeScript and Rust.

The branch also updates `webbrowser` to the patched release for
RUSTSEC-2026-0257.

* fix(desktop): restore the agent trading-card mint button (block#5900)

## Problem

PR block#5574's profile-panel redesign dropped `ProfileSummaryView`'s
`onCreateCard` prop — the only caller of `setCardMintTarget` — so the
entire Agent Trading Cards feature (block#3278) became unreachable from the
GUI while staying fully wired underneath: mint dialog, background job
store, viewer, gallery, composer chip, and the Rust
`mint_agent_card`/`save_agent_card` commands all survive at main. `git
log -S 'setCardMintTarget('` shows exactly two commits: the feature and
the accidental removal.

## Outcome

The mint trigger returns as a management row in the agent profile's Info
tab, directly under **Export agent**, gated `isBot && canManagePersona`
exactly like Duplicate/Export. Target resolution is byte-for-byte the
original logic: prefer the live instance pubkey, fall back to the
persona/definition id, allow locking only when an instance keypair
exists.

## Shape

- `UserProfileAgentManagementRows`: new optional `onCreateCard` row
(Sparkles icon, `user-profile-create-card-row`), placed after Export.
- Prop threaded `UserProfilePanel` → `ProfileSummaryView` →
`ProfileInfoTabContent` → management rows, mirroring `onExportAgent` at
every layer.
- The mint-target state + open callback move into a `useCardMint` hook
in `UserProfilePersonaDialogs` (beside the `CardMintTarget` type it
manages). This keeps `UserProfilePanel.tsx` at 999 lines — the file sits
at the size-ratchet cap and may not grow.

## Validation

- `pnpm check` green (biome, file-size ratchet, px-text,
pubkey-truncation).
- `pnpm typecheck` green.
- Full desktop unit suite: **4888 passed, 0 failed**.
- Profile e2e spec: **32 passed**, including the updated
management-row-order assertion and a new click → mint-dialog-visible →
Escape → closed exercise of the restored row.

main `01f76ec97`.

* fix(ci): read Playwright version without nested shell quoting (block#5910)

## Summary

- replace the nested one-line shell quoting used to read the Playwright
package version
- write the resolved version to `GITHUB_OUTPUT` from a multiline shell
step

## Why

The `desktop-v0.5.12` release smoke job failed before executing tests
because Bash received escaped quotes inside command substitution and
parsed the Node expression as shell syntax.

## Validation

- `bash scripts/test-release-ref-contract.sh`
- isolated execution of the new shell fragment with a fixture
`@playwright/test/package.json`, producing `version=1.58.2`
- `git diff --check`

* chore(release): release Buzz Desktop version 0.5.13 (block#5912)

## Buzz Desktop release v0.5.13

- **Frozen main:** `09768100ec3420f0aa7cd278bd00fe0baab5de8d`
- **Reviewed candidate:** `a239e0f6793ac6e88ccf92cc231054090a9753cc`
- **Previous desktop release:** `desktop-v0.5.12`
- **Proposed immutable tag:** `desktop-v0.5.13`

This PR may be **squash merged** after the Desktop Release Candidate
check and all protected-branch checks pass. Merging authorizes
publication of the exact reviewed candidate; later or unrelated changes
on `main` cannot alter it.

The checked-in changelog accounts for every non-merge commit in the
release range. The Desktop tag points to the reviewed candidate commit,
not the later squash commit. Publication remains bound to that immutable
candidate tag.

* ci(release): remove desktop smoke gate (block#5914)

## Summary

- remove the GitHub-hosted desktop smoke job from the desktop release
workflow
- remove the smoke result from manifest assembly dependencies and
promotion conditions
- retain the local smoke tooling for future repair and targeted
validation

The first release execution of this gate spent its full 10-minute
Playwright timeout traversing the 10,000-row fixture, then produced a
987 MB diagnostics upload. All signed platform builds succeeded, but the
smoke prevented manifest publication. This restores the previously
established release boundary while the harness is made suitable for CI
separately.

### Testing

- parsed `.github/workflows/release.yml` with Ruby Psych and asserted
the smoke job/dependencies are absent
- `scripts/test-release-ref-contract.sh`
- exact pushed commit passed the repository pre-push hook

* fix(desktop): hide the offcanvas-collapsed sidebar so it stops painting over the community rail (block#5947)

## Summary

Collapsing the sidebar left a phantom copy of it painted over the
community/relay rail — opaquely on flat themes (vesper et al., which
made the rail look *removed*), and as ghost fragments (muted search-box
fill, truncated channel-name tails) on the Buzz themes whose chrome is
intentionally transparent for the gradient.

**Cause:** block#4281 made the app-sidebar layer `overflow-visible` (the
huddle drawer needs to escape it). That removed the ancestor clipping
the offcanvas collapse relied on: the sidebar slides to `left:
-sidebar-width` but kept painting, exactly over the `z-0` rail (`z-10`
sidebar layer).

**Fix:** the offcanvas-collapsed sidebar container is now `invisible` +
`pointer-events-none`, with `visibility` added to the transition list so
the 200 ms slide-out still animates and the flip happens only at the
transition's end. Theme-independent; no per-theme CSS touched; the
huddle drawer's `overflow-visible` is preserved.

## Before / after

Left 420px of the app with the sidebar collapsed. Before = unpatched
`origin/main` @ 69107dc; after = this branch. Same seeded state, same
build pipeline (`build:e2e` between checkouts).

Before shots: ghost `⌘K` search chip + blue active-item pill painted
over the rail column; on vesper the opaque panel hides the rail buttons
entirely. After: the rail's community buttons (A, B) and `+` are visible
and clickable in all three themes.

cc @klopez4212 — this touches the layout your block#4281/block#5478 work shaped;
please confirm it doesn't defeat the huddle drawer or glass intentions.
The change deliberately hides only the *offcanvas-collapsed* container,
nothing in the expanded path.

## Test plan

- [x] New Playwright regression spec `sidebar-offcanvas-rail.spec.ts`
(buzz / buzz-dark / vesper): collapsed sidebar must be `visibility:
hidden` + `pointer-events: none`, community rail stays visible and
interactive. **Fails on unpatched build** (verified), passes with the
fix.
- [x] Full desktop unit suite: 4,954 pass / 0 fail
- [x] `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm check` (biome + file-size ratchet +
px-text + pubkey-truncation) green
- [x] Before/after screenshots above captured via the e2e harness on
both builds
