Shantur Rathore 278b563c1a Release 0.13.3 - Voice conversation mode, File editing, YOLO mode (#264)
## Thanks for contributions
- PR #252 “feat: Enable file editing and saving” by @jchadwick
- PR #256 “feat(ui): add session yolo mode controls” by @pascalandr
- PR #257 “fix(tauri): sync native app version with package releases” by
@pascalandr
- PR #258 “fix(tauri): stop stale UI assets from shadowing desktop
builds” by @pascalandr
- PR #260 “fix(ui): escape raw HTML in user prompt messages” by
@app/codenomadbot

## Highlights
- **Edit and save files directly in CodeNomad**: Update workspace files
in the built-in editor, save them without leaving the app, and get safer
handling for unsaved changes or edit conflicts.
- **More control over session automation**: Turn on per-session YOLO
mode from the Status tab, keep it visible with a clear badge, and let
long-running sessions continue auto-accepting prompts as expected.
- **Better voice conversation options**: Use spoken summary mode for
replies and keep conversation speech settings isolated per client, so
one device’s voice preferences do not unexpectedly affect another.
- **Faster session recovery**: Reload a session transcript from the
sidebar and see when a session is retrying, including live status
feedback.

## What’s Improved
- **Smoother desktop setup**: Desktop builds now bundle the right CLI
resources and handle microphone access more cleanly.
- **More reliable cross-platform desktop behavior**: Windows process
handling and npm invocation are safer, reducing environment-specific
issues.
- **Clearer session status visibility**: Retrying sessions now show more
useful state in the sidebar and header, so it is easier to tell what is
happening.
- **Cleaner in-app feedback**: Long toast messages wrap properly, GitHub
star counts display more cleanly, and message/code rendering behaves
more predictably.

## Fixes
- **Safer prompt rendering**: Raw HTML in user prompts is escaped so
messages display safely instead of being interpreted.
- **More reliable code previews**: Incomplete syntax highlighting
results are no longer cached, which helps prevent broken-looking file
views.
- **Better voice handoff**: Conversation playback stops when voice input
starts, avoiding overlapping speech.
- **More dependable desktop releases**: Native app versions now stay
aligned with package releases, and stale UI assets no longer shadow new
desktop builds.

CodeNomad App

This package contains the native desktop application shell for CodeNomad, built with Electron.

Overview

The Electron app wraps the CodeNomad UI and Server into a standalone executable. It provides deeper system integration, such as:

  • Native window management
  • Global keyboard shortcuts
  • Application menu integration

Development

To run the Electron app in development mode:

npm run dev

This will start the renderer (UI) and the main process with hot reloading.

Building

To build the application for your current platform:

npm run build

To build for specific platforms (requires appropriate build tools):

  • macOS: npm run build:mac
  • Windows: npm run build:win
  • Linux: npm run build:linux

Structure

  • electron/main: Main process code (window creation, IPC).
  • electron/preload: Preload scripts for secure bridge between main and renderer.
  • electron/resources: Static assets like icons.
