"perf(ui): lazy-load markdown and defer diff rendering" by
[@pascalandr](https://github.com/pascalandr)
## Highlights
- **Voice-first conversations**: Start prompts with voice input,
configure speech behavior from settings, and listen back to assistant
responses with message playback and conversation playback controls.
- **A complete Hebrew + RTL experience**: CodeNomad now ships with a
full Hebrew locale and much broader right-to-left support, making the
app feel natural for Hebrew users while improving Arabic text rendering
too.
- **A much faster experience in long chats**: The new virtualized
message list, deferred markdown and diff rendering, and more selective
loading for heavy UI surfaces make large sessions feel noticeably
smoother.
## What's Improved
- **More flexible speech controls**: Speech settings and playback modes
now adapt better to different browsers and platform capabilities.
- **Cleaner prompt workflow**: The prompt includes a quick clear action,
a simpler recording indicator, and a more polished mic control layout.
- **Faster startup and lighter heavy views**: Locale bundles, overlays,
right-panel viewers, picker flows, markdown, and diff surfaces all load
more lazily to reduce upfront UI work.
- **Less notification spam**: Subagent sessions no longer fire OS
notifications, so important interruptions are easier to notice.
- **Better RTL behavior across the whole interface**: Session names,
tool outputs, markdown blocks, file views, selectors, and layout
controls behave more consistently in right-to-left contexts.
## Fixes
- **More reliable Windows desktop behavior**: Process cleanup is
stronger during app shutdown, background CLI process trees are
terminated more reliably, desktop identity/metadata is aligned more
cleanly, and stray console windows are hidden during startup and exit.
- **Cleaner shutdown on macOS and Linux**: Desktop quit/close now stops
the spawned CLI process group more reliably, reducing leftover
background processes after exit.
- **Restored desktop actions**: External links in the folder picker work
again, and the desktop View/Window controls plus the fullscreen shortcut
are back.
- **More stable streaming and scrolling**: Reasoning streams stay pinned
more consistently, follow behavior is less jumpy, spacing is cleaner in
virtualized conversations, and session switching retains position more
smoothly.
- **Safer slash command pasting**: Pasted placeholders are resolved
correctly before slash commands run, so long pasted inputs behave like
normal prompts.
- **More dependable desktop packaging**: Tauri prebuild now refreshes
the server UI bundle correctly, which avoids packaged desktop builds
picking up stale UI assets.
- **Clearer speech compatibility handling**: Streaming playback
limitations are surfaced more cleanly instead of failing in a confusing
way.

## Summary
- force the Windows CLI process tree shutdown path during normal app
close
- avoid leaving child server processes alive when the direct wrapper
process exits first
- keep the change limited to the Windows shutdown path in cli_manager
## Testing
- cargo check --manifest-path packages/tauri-app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
## Summary
- restore the missing desktop View and Window menu controls
- use native reload and window actions where supported instead of
brittle webview-only behavior
- restore the working fullscreen keyboard shortcut while keeping the
zoom menu labels aligned with the intended desktop behavior
## Testing
- cargo check --manifest-path packages/tauri-app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
## Summary
- restore the GitHub and Discord links on the folder picker in the Tauri
app
- open those links through the desktop opener bridge instead of relying
on browser-only navigation behavior
- include the capability/schema updates needed for the opener path
## Testing
- npm run typecheck --workspace @codenomad/ui
- cargo check --manifest-path packages/tauri-app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
Ensure the Tauri prebuild step refreshes packages/server/public from the current UI renderer bundle so the packaged desktop app does not serve a stale folder-selection UI.
Set the same explicit AppUserModelID that the legacy Electron app used so Windows taskbar grouping and notification attribution stay consistent in the Tauri desktop build.
Match the Tauri package, Cargo, and bundle version metadata to the current legacy desktop version so About dialogs and installer artifacts stop reporting 0.1.0.
Drop the startup instrumentation call that leaked into the auth-cookie isolation branch. The helper is not defined on this PR branch, and the PR does not need to serialize the generated cookie name to fix the multi-instance auth collision.
Add generic /api/storage config/state endpoints with merge-patch, migrate legacy YAML/JSON layout, and update UI/server to read and write owner-scoped settings. Replace config SSE events and drop /api/config routes.
Default to HTTPS with optional loopback HTTP, generate/rotate self-signed certs via node-forge, and surface Local/Remote connection URLs. Update /api/meta schema, UI remote access overlay, and desktop shells to follow the new startup output.
Prevent desktop wrappers from SIGKILLing the CLI during shutdown, which could orphan OpenCode workspace processes. Shut down workspaces earlier/in parallel and increase the quit grace period.
