feat(app): CODEC owns a native window — the dashboard renders in the app, not in Chrome - #346
Merged
Conversation
…app, not in Chrome "it running inside google chrome!!! what the whole point? aint we building a app???" Fair. The launcher handed localhost:8090 to the default browser, so "the Mac app" was a website with an icon in front of it. DashboardWindow.swift: a WKWebView inside a real NSWindow — own title bar, CODEC's icon in the Dock and ⌘-Tab, no address bar, no tabs, no other browser's cookies or extensions. Remembers size and position. Closing the window leaves the agent running in the menu bar; the Dock icon brings it back (applicationShouldHandleReopen). It is a window onto localhost, NOT an embedded browser: decidePolicyFor refuses any host that is not loopback and hands the URL to the real browser, so a source link in a chat reply opens in Safari/Chrome rather than turning a window with no address bar into a rogue browser. target=_blank goes out the same way. The load retries for ~30s while the fleet binds its port. Activation policy is .regular now (a window app belongs in the Dock); LSUIElement is removed and NSAllowsLocalNetworking added — without the ATS exemption the WKWebView shows a blank window over plain-http loopback. Top-level bootstrap moved to main.swift, the only file Swift allows it in once the launcher became multi-file; build_app.sh compiles every launcher source so the window cannot be silently dropped. Verified via System Events on the installed app: windows: 1, background only: false, window title: CODEC, 1180x800, dashboard content rendered. G5 updated: asserts DashboardWindow.swift with a WKWebView and a navigation policy, no LSUIElement, ATS exemption present, and no external-browser open of the dashboard URL.
