Issue #1764 asked for a much larger surface (Reveal + Copy-path on
every UI surface that references a file path, plus Rename in session
menus). Per Nathan's curation we ship only the three highest-leverage
pieces in this PR — they cover the three concrete user-visible
frictions Cygnus reported, and leave the broader sweep for follow-up.
## 1. Copy file path in workspace tree right-click menu
The tree's right-click already had Rename and Reveal in File Manager.
Reveal is slow when the user just wants the path string for a
terminal/editor — and there was no Copy-path action anywhere.
Added "Copy file path" between Reveal and Delete. It POSTs to a new
`/api/file/path` endpoint that resolves the relative tree-rooted path
into the absolute on-disk path (the frontend can't compute it because
only the server knows the workspace root) and writes the result to
the OS clipboard via `navigator.clipboard.writeText()`. Falls back to
the legacy execCommand pattern on browsers where the modern Clipboard
API is gated.
The new endpoint deliberately does NOT require the target to exist:
copy-path on a recently-deleted file is still useful (paste into a
terminal to investigate). `safe_resolve` continues to gate path
traversal — the test suite pins this with a `../../../../../etc/passwd`
attempt that 400s.
## 2. Rename in session three-dot menu
Cygnus's specific ask: double-click rename in the sidebar is timing-
sensitive — the first click frequently registers as "open the chat"
before the second click arrives, so users open the conversation when
they meant to rename it. Putting Rename in the menu eliminates the
timing entirely.
Added Rename as the FIRST item in `_openSessionActionMenu` (above
Pin). It reuses the existing `startRename` closure attached to each
session row — no duplicated state, no second API call out of band
with the double-click path. Mechanism: the row builder now stores
`el._startRename = startRename` and `el.dataset.sid = s.session_id`,
so the menu can find the row by data-sid and call its closure
directly. This keeps all the `_renamingSid`/`oldTitle`/`applyTitle`
bookkeeping single-sourced.
Read-only imported sessions skip the menu item via the same
`_isReadOnlySession` gate the closure already uses.
## 3. Reveal-failed toast includes the resolved server-side path
Cygnus posted a screenshot of a "Failed to reveal: not found" toast
that dropped the path entirely. Without it the user can't tell which
file the system expected — useful when a stale session row still
references a deleted file.
Server-side fix in `_handle_file_reveal`: instead of returning
`bad(handler, "File not found", 404)`, return
`bad(handler, f"File not found: {target}", 404)` where target is the
resolved absolute path. Frontend toast also defends against err with
no .message: `(err.message||err)` instead of `err.message` alone.
Verified live: a missing-file reveal now produces:
Failed to reveal: File not found: /home/hermes/workspace/missing-xyz.txt
Cygnus's exact diagnostic-friction is gone.
## Tests
* tests/test_1764_context_menu_essentials.py (new)
- 13 source-level pinning tests
- 6 live HTTP behaviour tests against the conftest test server
* tests/test_1466_sidebar_cancel_clarify.py
- Two assertion-window bumps (3200→4400, 3600→4800) to accommodate
the new Rename action prepended to _openSessionActionMenu. The
test relied on a fixed-byte-window function-body slice — comments
added explaining why the bumps were needed.
* All 9 locales got translations for the 5 new keys
(copy_file_path, path_copied, path_copy_failed, session_rename,
session_rename_desc) — locale parity tests pass.
## Verification
Full pytest suite: 4671 passed, 2 skipped, 3 xpassed (matches
pre-change baseline).
Live browser verification on port 8789:
- Right-click .git folder in workspace tree → menu shows
Rename / Reveal in File Manager / Copy file path / Delete (red).
- Click Copy file path → clipboard gets "/home/hermes/workspace/.git",
toast confirms "File path copied to clipboard".
- Open session three-dot menu → Rename conversation appears first
with pencil icon, followed by Pin / Move / Archive / Duplicate /
Delete in the same order as before.
- Trigger reveal on a non-existent file → toast reads
"Failed to reveal: File not found: /home/hermes/workspace/<filename>".
The resolved server-side path is now visible in the failure.

Opus advisor on stage-302 (#1732 verification Q5) flagged that
_lastScrollTop is module-global and persists across chat switches. When
the user switches sessions, the new chat's first user scroll compares
against the previous chat's last scrollTop. If the previous was deep-
scrolled (e.g. 5000) and the new chat starts at top=0, scrolling down
to 100 would evaluate as movedUp=true → false-unpin, blocking auto-
scroll on the new chat's first incoming token.
Fix: expose _resetScrollDirectionTracker() from static/ui.js on window
so static/sessions.js loadSession() can reset _lastScrollTop=null when
S.session is reassigned. The scroll listener's existing _lastScrollTop!==null
guard then handles the first sample after reset correctly (no false-trigger
on the very first scroll event in the new chat).
Absorb-in-release per Opus stage-302 verdict — small, defensive, ≤20 LOC.
PR #1669 added DOM virtualization to renderSessionListFromCache() with two issues
for lists below the virtualization threshold (≤80 rows):
1. The unconditional scroll listener triggered renderSessionListFromCache() on
every rAF, rebuilding the entire list DOM on every scroll event.
2. After each rebuild, scrollTop was only restored when virtualWindow.virtualized
was true (i.e. total > 80). For lists ≤ 80 rows, scrollTop dropped to 0 on
every scroll event, producing a 'scroll keeps jumping back' feel.
Fix:
- Always restore scrollTop after re-render when listScrollTopBeforeRender > 0
(regardless of virtualized flag).
- Short-circuit _scheduleSessionVirtualizedRender when total <=
SESSION_VIRTUAL_THRESHOLD_ROWS (saves wasteful rebuild on small lists).
Live verified on a 56-session sidebar: scrollTop holds across animation frames.
3 regression tests pin the fix shape.
#1430 — renderSessionList() had no staleness guard. Multiple concurrent
callers (message send, rename, session switch) could race, allowing a
slower older API response to overwrite _allSessions with stale data.
Added a generation counter that increments on each call and discards
responses from superseded generations.
#1470 — docker_init.bash unconditionally called groupmod/usermod even
on read-only root filesystems (podman with read_only=true). Added a
writability check for /etc/group and /etc/passwd. If read-only and
UID/GID already match, the mod is skipped gracefully. If they don't
match, a clear error message suggests setting matching IDs or disabling
read_only mode.
SHOULD-FIX #1 (renamed-root client cross-alias): drop strict-equality client
filter at static/sessions.js:1853. Server-side _profiles_match cross-aliases
'default'-tagged rows to a renamed root 'kinni'; the strict-equality client
would reject them, dropping every legacy session for renamed-root users. The
server is now solely authoritative for profile scoping.
SHOULD-FIX #2 (messaging-source dedupe ordering): _keep_latest_messaging_session_per_source
now runs AFTER the profile filter at api/routes.py:2078. Before, it ran on
the merged-cross-profile list with profile-blind keys, discarding the older
profile's row across profiles before the scope filter — leaving zero rows for
any messaging identity the active profile shared with another profile.
NIT #3: _projects_migrated flag now set only AFTER successful save_projects.
NIT #4: cleaned dead test code in test_is_root_profile_invalidation_drops_stale.
NIT #5: _create_profile_fallback's clone_from=='default' literal now routes
through _is_root_profile() for parity with the 5 other callsites.
+2 regression tests pin the SHOULD-FIX shapes:
- test_keep_latest_messaging_runs_after_profile_filter (source-string ordering)
- test_static_sessions_js_trusts_server_profile_scoping (no client re-filter)
4173 -> 4175 tests pass. 0 regressions.
Closes#1611 — /api/sessions filters by active profile by default; ?all_profiles=1
opt-in for aggregate views; new _profiles_match() helper honours renamed-root
cross-aliasing; static/sessions.js drops the s.is_cli_session bypass; toggle-on
re-fetches with all_profiles=1 instead of slicing client-cached rows.
Closes#1612 — new _is_root_profile() central helper consults list_profiles_api()
for is_default=True matches alongside the legacy 'default' alias. Replaces five
literal-default callsites in api/profiles.py. Memoized with explicit invalidation
hooks at create + delete. Sticky active_profile file write now stores '' for
renamed root, consistent with the legacy empty==root contract.
Closes#1614 — projects carry a profile field stamped at create-time;
/api/projects filters by active profile; /api/projects/{create,rename,delete}
and /api/session/move reject ops on cross-profile projects with 404; new
_PROJECTS_MIGRATION migration in load_projects() back-tags untagged projects
from any session that uses them, fall back to 'default'; ensure_cron_project
keys lookup by (name, profile) so each profile gets its own Cron Jobs project.
31 regression tests (9+11+11) pin the renamed-root resolution, server-side
profile scoping shape, helper invariants, cross-alias matching, migration
behavior, and active-profile guards on every project mutation endpoint.
4148 tests pass.

Merge conflict resolution: kept HEAD's `CACHE_NAME = 'hermes-shell-__WEBUI_VERSION__'` (post-#1517 rename) over PR #1525's `'hermes-shell-__CACHE_VERSION__-stale-stream-cleanup1'` manual suffix. The renamed placeholder still auto-bumps with each release through the `quote(WEBUI_VERSION, safe="")` substitution, so the manual `-stale-stream-cleanup1` suffix is no longer needed to force-update existing service workers — the natural version bump (v0.50.278 → v0.50.279) already invalidates the old cache via `caches.delete(k)` for `k !== CACHE_NAME` in the SW activate handler. No behavioral regression: the SW cache still bumps on this release, just via the canonical version-token path.

Clear persisted active_stream_id and pending runtime fields when the server no longer has the referenced live stream. Also drop browser-side INFLIGHT state when the server reports a session idle and bump the service-worker cache so the frontend fix is delivered.
Adds regression coverage for backend stale-stream cleanup, frontend inflight invalidation, and cache busting.
Spliced from contributor PRs #1497 (Thanatos-Z) and #1513 (AlexeyDsov), which
both added the ability to filter the sidebar to sessions with no project_id
assigned. Lands here as a focused PR with the best of both:
## Synthesis decisions
- **Sentinel constant approach** (from #1497, Thanatos-Z): single state
variable (`_activeProject` set to `NO_PROJECT_FILTER` sentinel) instead
of a parallel `_showNoneProject` boolean. No two-state-machine ambiguity,
no risk of "All" + "Unassigned" both reading active. Clicking "All"
automatically clears the unassigned filter because there is only one
variable to reset.
- **Conditional rendering** (from #1497): the chip only appears when
there are actually unassigned sessions to filter to (`hasUnprojected`).
Common case where every session is organized → chip stays hidden,
uncluttered chip bar. The project-bar itself also renders when there
are unassigned sessions (was previously gated on `_allProjects.length`).
- **Dashed-border visual treatment** (from #1497): `.project-chip.no-project
{border-style:dashed;}` distinguishes the chip from real project chips
so it reads as a meta-filter ("things without a project") rather than
another project. Subtle but present.
- **"Unassigned" label** (new): clearer than #1497s "No project" (which
reads like a status filter) or #1513s "None" (which is ambiguous —
none of what?). Matches the conventional file-manager / task-tracker
mental model: "things not yet assigned to a category." Tooltip elaborates:
"Show conversations not yet assigned to a project."
- **Branched empty-state copy**: when the Unassigned filter is active
and the result is empty, show "No unassigned sessions." instead of
the generic "No sessions in this project yet."
## Tests
7 new tests in tests/test_sidebar_unassigned_filter.py pin every contract:
sentinel constant declared; filter logic uses !s.project_id when sentinel
is active; chip only renders when hasUnprojected; chip label and click
handler; visual treatment (dashed border + .no-project class); empty-state
copy branches on the active filter; All chip handler clears _activeProject
to null (would catch a regression if a parallel _showNoneProject boolean
is ever reintroduced).
Local full suite: 3929 → 3936 passing (+7).
Live verified at port 8789 with seeded data (5 projects + 73 unassigned
sessions in active profile): chip appears between "All" and project chips
when unassigned sessions exist; click cycles correctly; clicking a real
project hides the Unassigned chip from active state; clicking "All"
deactivates everything; dashed border present per getComputedStyle.

When the webui auth session expires (e.g., after a server restart),
api() returns undefined after redirecting to /login. Previously,
loadSession() and _ensureMessagesLoaded() would dereference the
undefined response and throw, surfacing a confusing 'Failed to load
session' toast while the browser was already navigating away.
Add guards after api() calls that may trigger 401 redirects:
- loadSession(): bail early if data is undefined
- _ensureMessagesLoaded(): return silently if data is missing
- _loadOlderMessages(): return silently if data is missing
This prevents the stuck loading state and unnecessary error toasts
when the user is already being redirected to re-authenticate.
Fixes#1391 (reported as 'Failed to load session' after restart)
Closes#1442 (server-side _LOGIN_LOCALE missing ja/pt/ko)
Closes#1443 (promote _isImeEnter helper to 6 other Safari Enter guards)
Closes#1446 (glued-bold-heading lift for LLM thinking-block output)
Closes#1447 (markdown heading visual hierarchy in chat messages)
All four issues were filed by the Opus pre-release advisor on the v0.50.264 batch
or by Cygnus via Discord (relayed by @AvidFuturist, May 1 2026). They share a
common shape — narrow, well-scoped, independent of each other, all adding
regression tests.
== #1442: _LOGIN_LOCALE parity (api/routes.py + static/i18n.js) ==
Added entries for ja/pt/ko to the server-side _LOGIN_LOCALE dict that renders
the localized login page BEFORE the JS i18n bundle loads. With v0.50.264
shipping Japanese as the 8th built-in locale, ja/pt/ko users were seeing the
English login page even with their language preference set.
While auditing static/i18n.js for English leakage, also fixed:
- ko: 10 user-facing login/sign-out/password keys still in English
- es: 3 sign-out/auth-disabled keys still in English
Tests: tests/test_login_locale_parity.py (20 tests) — pins both invariants:
(a) every locale in i18n.js LOCALES has a matching _LOGIN_LOCALE entry
(b) every locale's login-flow keys (13 of them) are translated, not English
== #1443: window._isImeEnter promotion ==
PR #1441 fixed the Safari IME-composition Enter race in the chat composer
(`#msg`) by widening the guard from `e.isComposing` to a `_isImeEnter(e)`
helper that combines three signals (isComposing || keyCode===229 ||
_imeComposing flag). Six other Enter-input handlers were left on the original
narrow guard and would still drop IME composition Enters on Safari for
Japanese/Chinese/Korean users.
Promoted the helper to `window._isImeEnter` (defined in static/boot.js) and
replaced the `e.isComposing` guards at all six sites:
- static/sessions.js: session rename, project create, project rename
- static/ui.js: app dialog (confirm/prompt), message edit, workspace rename
The state-free part of the helper (`isComposing || keyCode===229`) handles
Safari's race for any focused input without needing per-input composition
listeners — only `#msg` keeps the local `_imeComposing` flag.
Tests:
- tests/test_issue1443_ime_helper_promotion.py (9 tests) — pins each site
+ verifies no raw `e.isComposing` Enter-guards remain in sessions.js/ui.js
- tests/test_ime_composition.py — alternation regex extended to accept
the windowed helper form (loosen-test-on-shape-change pattern from
v0.50.264 reflection notes)
== #1446: glued-bold-heading lift (static/ui.js renderMd + Python mirror) ==
LLMs in thinking/reasoning mode emit "section headers" glued to the end of the
previous paragraph with no whitespace:
Para 1 text.**Heading to Para 2**
Para 2 text.**Heading to Para 3**
The renderer correctly produces inline `<strong>` per CommonMark, but it looks
like trailing emphasis on the body text rather than a section break. Cygnus
reported this as "Markdown feedback 2 of 3."
Added a single regex pre-pass in renderMd():
s.replace(/([.!?])\*\*([^*\n]{1,80})\*\*\n\n/g, '$1\n\n**$2**\n\n')
Constraints chosen to avoid false positives:
- Trigger only on `[.!?]` IMMEDIATELY before `**` (no space) — almost always
an LLM-glued heading, not intentional emphasis
- Inner text ≤80 chars, no `*` or newline (single-line only)
- Trailing `\n\n` required — preserves "this is **important** to know."
mid-paragraph emphasis untouched
- Position: after rawPreStash restore, before fence_stash restore — fenced
code blocks stay protected (their content is `\x00P` / `\x00F` tokens
when the lift runs)
Mirrored in tests/test_sprint16.py render_md() so both stay in sync.
Tests: tests/test_issue1446_glued_heading_lift.py (17 tests, 5 of which drive
the actual ui.js renderMd via node) — covers all 3 trigger forms (.!?), all 4
preserve-emphasis cases the issue spec'd, fenced/inline code protection,
chained glued headings, source-level position pin, regex shape pin.
== #1447: markdown heading visual hierarchy (static/style.css) ==
Pre-fix sizes in `.msg-body`:
h1 18px, h2 16px, h3 14px (= body), h4 13px, h5 12px, h6 11px
So h3 was indistinguishable from body and h4/h5/h6 were SMALLER than body.
Cygnus's report: "Markdown feedback 3 of 3 — Headings seem to be missing
across the board in Hermes. They're there, but all plaintext."
New sizes:
h1 24px (border-bottom) h2 20px (border-bottom) h3 17px h4 15px
h5 14px (uppercase, tracked) h6 13px (uppercase, tracked, muted)
All headings now `font-weight:700` + `color:var(--strong)` for stronger ink.
h5/h6 use uppercase + letter-spacing for "label-style" affordance instead
of being smaller-than-body.
Synced .preview-md (file preview pane) to match exactly so a markdown file
preview and a chat message render identically. Added missing h4/h5/h6 rules
to .preview-md (it only had h1-h3 before).
Updated data-font-size="small"/"large" h1-h6 overrides to scale
proportionally with the new defaults. Hierarchy preserved at all three
font-size settings.
Tests: tests/test_issue1447_heading_hierarchy.py (9 tests) — pins the size
hierarchy, the bottom borders on h1/h2, the uppercase affordance on h5/h6,
the .preview-md sync, and the small/large override scaling.
== Verification ==

Visual confirmation in browser at port 8789:
- Heading hierarchy clearly visible at all 6 levels
- Glued-bold lift produces separate paragraphs as designed
- window._isImeEnter accessible from any module after boot.js
- Login page renders ja/pt/ko strings correctly (curl -s /login)
- popstate handler now refuses to switch sessions mid-stream (S.busy guard)
Mirrors the same guard the cross-tab storage handler had. PR #1392 added
the popstate listener but missed this. Without it, browser Back during
a live stream silently yanks the user out of their turn.

1 regression test in test_v050254_opus_followups.py.
Clicking a chat in the sidebar now processes immediately when using a mouse or
trackpad, but introduces a 300ms delay on touch devices to prevent accidental
navigation when a user scrolls the sidebar and lifts their finger mid-gesture.
Drag is detected when the pointer moves more than 5px from the pointerdown
position; a detected drag cancels any pending tap on release and suppresses
the hover highlight via a .dragging class added synchronously and removed
after a 50ms defer to prevent :hover activating before class removal settles.
The double-tap-to-rename path is unaffected.
Detection uses e.pointerType (already available on the pointerup event) rather
than user-agent sniffing.
