- Shows counts of additions (green +), deletions (red -), and modifications (orange)
- Positioned in header between LIVE button and Context Window progress bar
- Hover tooltip displays list of all changed files with status indicators
- Click opens modal overlay showing full git diff
- Auto-refreshes every 5 seconds to detect new changes
- Only appears when session is in a Git repository

- Updated git service to parse porcelain format output and support full diffs
- Integrated widget into MainPanel.tsx with keyboard controls
- Added comprehensive documentation in CLAUDE.md
Fixes wishlist item PED-TRACK-GIT
Implement separate Enter-to-send configurations for AI and Terminal modes:
- AI mode defaults to Command+Enter to send (Enter creates new line)
- Terminal mode defaults to Enter to send (Shift+Enter creates new line)
- Each mode configurable independently in Settings → General → Input Send Behavior
- Settings persist globally across all sessions and app restarts
Changes:
- Split enterToSend into enterToSendAI and enterToSendTerminal in useSettings hook
- Updated App.tsx, MainPanel, and InputArea to use mode-specific settings
- Added UI controls in SettingsModal General tab with clear toggle buttons
- Implemented migration logic for old enterToSend setting
- Updated CLAUDE.md documentation with new settings and feature description
This allows users to optimize input behavior for different interaction patterns,
e.g., using Command+Enter for thoughtful AI prompts while using Enter for
quick terminal commands.
Implemented Cmd+. keyboard shortcut to jump to the input field from anywhere
in the main interface (excluding modals). This improves keyboard navigation by
providing a quick way to return focus to the input area.
Changes:
- Added 'focusInput' shortcut to DEFAULT_SHORTCUTS with Cmd+. keys
- Implemented keyboard handler in App.tsx to focus input and switch to main panel
- Shortcut is fully configurable in Settings → Shortcuts
- Updated CLAUDE.md to document the new shortcut in keyboard navigation patterns
- Added to Recent Features section in CLAUDE.md
The shortcut works from any focus area including sidebar, output window,
file tree, and right panel tabs.
Users can now select their preferred terminal shell (zsh, bash, sh, fish, tcsh) in General Settings.
Key features:

- Only available shells are shown as selectable options in settings UI
- Settings persist across application restarts via electron-store
- Selected shell applies to all new terminal sessions
- Default shell remains zsh for compatibility
Changes:
- Added ShellDetector utility for shell detection via PATH
- Updated ProcessManager to accept and use custom shell parameter
- Added defaultShell setting to electron-store with persistence
- Created shell selector UI in General Settings tab with visual feedback
- Updated IPC handlers to support shells:detect
- Updated preload API to expose shells detection

Major architectural improvement where each session now runs two processes
simultaneously (AI agent + terminal), enabling seamless mode switching
without process restarts.
Changes:
- Dual-process model: each session spawns both AI agent and terminal processes
- Session type updated: replaced single `pid` with `aiPid` and `terminalPid`
- Process routing: sessionIds now use `-ai` and `-terminal` suffixes
- Input routing: directs input to correct process based on `inputMode`
- ANSI rendering: terminal output now displays ANSI escape codes with theme-aware colors
- Terminal filtering: bash prompts automatically filtered for cleaner output
- Session restoration: detects and fixes corrupted sessions with mismatched inputMode/toolType
- Agent serialization: strips non-serializable `argBuilder` functions before IPC
- Dependencies: added ansi-to-html and dompurify for secure ANSI rendering
Documentation updates:
- Updated README.md and CLAUDE.md to reflect dual-process architecture
- Added new features to Recent Features section
- Updated tech stack with new dependencies
