Summary

  • Make the Devsy tray a native menu surface without implicit window activation.
  • Show active workspaces with Open and Stop actions.
  • Move workspace runtime status ownership and polling into the main process.
  • Reuse the existing workspace stop lifecycle for tray actions.
  • Preserve close-to-tray, explicit quit, deep-link, updater, and second-instance behavior.

Verification

  • CodeRabbit CLI review: 0 findings.
  • Pre-commit checks: passed.
  • git diff --check: passed.
  • Desktop tests, Svelte check, and Electron build could not start because the local desktop dependency tree is incomplete (vitest, svelte-check, and electron-vite unavailable).

Commit

Signed commit: 2695affe5.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Workspace statuses update automatically and distinguish active, busy, and stopping states.
    • System tray menus list active workspaces with options to open or stop them.
    • Workspaces can be stopped from both the app and system tray.
    • Update status changes refresh tray actions, including installation and quitting.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved window restoration, navigation, application quitting, and workspace-status handling.
    • Workspace statuses remain available when temporary status checks fail.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The main process now owns workspace status polling and normalization. It propagates status changes to the renderer and tray, shares workspace-stop handling across UI sources, and centralizes window and application lifecycle state.

Changes

Workspace status pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Status normalization and state notifications
desktop/src/main/workspace-status.ts, desktop/src/main/state.ts, desktop/src/main/ipc.ts
Workspace statuses are normalized, stored on Workspace, and propagated through change listeners.
Main-process polling and renderer updates
desktop/src/main/watcher.ts, desktop/src/renderer/src/lib/stores/workspaces.ts, desktop/src/renderer/src/lib/stores/workspaces.test.ts, desktop/src/main/__tests__/workspace-status.test.ts, desktop/src/main/__tests__/state.test.ts
Watcher polls workspace status with bounded concurrency. The renderer uses status supplied by the main process and no longer polls.

Tray actions and workspace stopping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared workspace stop operation
desktop/src/main/ipc.ts
Renderer and tray actions use shared stop handling with source tracking, output logging, completion promises, and failure propagation.
Reactive tray menu
desktop/src/main/tray.ts, desktop/src/main/updater.ts, desktop/src/main/__tests__/tray.test.ts
The tray filters active workspaces, tracks pending stops, subscribes to workspace and update changes, and exposes workspace, update, navigation, and quit actions.

Application lifecycle and main-process wiring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Window and application lifecycle
desktop/src/main/app-lifecycle.ts, desktop/src/main/index.ts, desktop/src/main/updater.ts, desktop/src/main/__tests__/app-lifecycle.test.ts, desktop/src/main/__tests__/updater.test.ts
Quitting state uses a dedicated module. Window navigation supports pending routes, destroyed-window checks, and centralized show/focus behavior. Watcher and tray instances are retained and cleaned up during quit.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

149-151: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Contain workspace listener failures.

The registered production listener is AppTray, and it invokes rebuildMenu(). If it throws, notifyWorkspaceListeners() propagates the exception through updateWorkspaces() or updateWorkspaceStatus(). The watcher then skips its broadcast, and the workspace_status IPC handler rejects. Catch each listener exception so state updates do not depend on tray updates.

-    for (const listener of this.workspaceListeners) listener()
+    for (const listener of this.workspaceListeners) {

pollWorkspaceStatuses() calls broadcastWorkspaces() for every changed status. Each call sends the complete workspace list and job snapshot, so one sweep can send several full IPC payloads. Accumulate status changes and broadcast once after the sweep.

Publish and log installation failures.

If loadAutoUpdater() rejects, installUpdate() propagates the rejection without calling setStatus or logging it. The tray callback then discards it with .catch(() => {}). Handle the failure in the updater status path and log the error before the tray callback consumes the rejection.

Log rejected tray installations

When installUpdate() rejects after quitAndInstall() throws, updater.ts publishes state: "error" and rethrows. The tray callback catches the rejection, so it does not become unhandled. However, buildUpdateMenuItems() renders no item for the error state, and the empty catch gives the tray workflow no actionable feedback. Replace the empty handler with the established tray warning, such as catch((error) => console.warn("[tray] failed to install update:", error)).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep a visible recovery action for tray installation failures. installUpdate() sets the status to error, which rebuilds the tray menu. buildUpdateMenuItems() then returns no items for that state, and the tray callback only logs the rejection. The failure action disappears, and the renderer toast remains suppressed because the tray cannot set markUserInitiated(). Keep an error-state item with a retry or update-dialog action.
