## What and why CodeNomad had no RTL (right-to-left) support, so users writing in Hebrew or Arabic would see their messages displayed left-to-right — misaligned text, broken reading flow, wrong punctuation placement. This PR adds automatic direction detection to all elements that display user or model text. The browser detects direction from the first strong character in each text block: Hebrew/Arabic → RTL, Latin/code → LTR. No configuration needed — it just works per message, per paragraph. ## Technical notes The natural fix is `dir="auto"` on the containing elements. However, Chromium does not propagate direction detection from a parent `<div>` into its `<p>` children — so Hebrew inside `<p>` rendered via `innerHTML` (as markdown is) was still detected as LTR. The fix is to apply `unicode-bidi: plaintext` via CSS directly on the block-level elements (`p`, `li`, headings, etc.), which has the same auto-detection semantics but applies per element. ## Summary - Add `dir="auto"` to all elements containing user-generated or model-generated text (message content, prompt input, session names, tool outputs) so the browser auto-detects text direction - Add `unicode-bidi: plaintext` via CSS to markdown block elements (`p`, `li`, headings, `blockquote`, `td`/`th`) to fix per-paragraph RTL detection in Chromium (where `dir="auto"` on a parent div does not recurse into block children) - Convert physical CSS properties to logical equivalents in `markdown.css`: `border-left` → `border-inline-start`, `padding-left` → `padding-inline-start`, `text-align: left` → `text-align: start`, `margin-left` → `margin-inline-start` ## Affected components - `markdown.tsx` — main markdown renderer - `message-part.tsx` — text part wrapper and plain-text fallback - `message-item.tsx` — message body and error blocks - `prompt-input.tsx` — user input textarea - `session-list.tsx` — session titles in sidebar - `session-rename-dialog.tsx` — session rename input - `instance-welcome-view.tsx` — Resume Session dialog - `tool-call/markdown-render.tsx` — tool output markdown fallback - `tool-call/ansi-render.tsx` — ANSI output - `tool-call/diagnostics-section.tsx` — diagnostic messages ## Test plan - [ ] Send a Hebrew-only message → text right-aligned - [ ] Send a mixed Hebrew + English message → correct per-paragraph direction - [ ] Message containing a code block → code stays LTR - [ ] Type Hebrew in the prompt textarea → input flows right-to-left - [ ] Hebrew session name in sidebar → right-aligned - [ ] Hebrew session name in Resume Session dialog → right-aligned 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
CodeNomad UI
This package contains the frontend user interface for CodeNomad, built with SolidJS and Tailwind CSS.
Overview
The UI is designed to be a high-performance, low-latency cockpit for managing OpenCode sessions. It connects to the CodeNomad server (either running locally via CLI or embedded in the Electron app).
Features
- SolidJS: Fine-grained reactivity for high performance.
- Tailwind CSS: Utility-first styling for rapid development.
- Vite: Fast build tool and dev server.
Development
To run the UI in standalone mode (connected to a running server):
npm run dev
This starts the Vite dev server at http://localhost:3000.
Building
To build the production assets:
npm run build
The output will be generated in the dist directory, which is then consumed by the Server or Electron app.
Debug Logging
The UI now routes all logging through a lightweight wrapper around debug. The logger exposes four namespaces that can be toggled at runtime:
sse– Server-sent event transport and handlersapi– HTTP/API calls and workspace lifecyclesession– Session/model state, prompt handling, tool callsactions– User-driven interactions in UI components
You can enable or disable namespaces from DevTools (in dev or production builds) via the global window.codenomadLogger helpers:
window.codenomadLogger?.listLoggerNamespaces() // => [{ name: "sse", enabled: false }, ...]
window.codenomadLogger?.enableLogger("sse") // turn on SSE logs
window.codenomadLogger?.disableLogger("sse") // turn them off again
window.codenomadLogger?.enableAllLoggers() // optional helper
Enabled namespaces are persisted in localStorage under opencode:logger:namespaces, so your preference survives reloads.
