f35930104b fix(desktop): remove 0.5.9+ perf regressions, speed up get_channels (#5599)
Desktop input latency regressed sharply for users on v0.5.9 and worsened
on latest main: multi-second stalls when clicking back into the app,
slow fresh boots, intermittent lockups, and scroll/mouse degradation.
Reverting to `119a84897` (pre-0.5.9) was confirmed to resolve it,
isolating the regression to that range. Profiling a live production
renderer plus a commit-level audit of the range found three independent,
additive causes — fixed here — plus a long-standing `get_channels` cost
that made every remaining refetch expensive, also addressed here.

## 1. Focus-return refetch storm (`refetchOnWindowFocus`)

#5490 wired TanStack's `focusManager` to app focus and flipped ~20 query
sites to `refetchOnWindowFocus: true`. A focus return after >60s away
fires them all within milliseconds — and a click into an unfocused
window *is* a focus return, so the burst runs before the click is
processed. That is the "click into the composer, wait 5 seconds"
symptom, and it also explains why mouse input feels worse than keyboard
(clicks arrive with focus transitions; typing happens while already
focused). A 5-second `sample` of a live production renderer caught a
single window activity-state transition consuming ~1.25s of main-thread
time, dominated by `JSON.parse` in the focus listener's microtask drain.

#5535 already established the fix pattern but applied it to only two
families (channels, home-feed). This PR extends the same 5-minute
`staleTime` discipline to the remaining families: pulse (×5), workflows
(×4), agents (×4), forum (×2), presence, user-status, custom-emoji,
channel-templates, and the persona catalog. Polling cadences and
push-invalidation paths are untouched — interval refetches and
`invalidateQueries` both bypass `staleTime`, so live-update behavior is
unchanged. Each gated family exports its focus-refetch policy as an
options object that the production hook spreads into `useQuery`, and a
`focusRefetchPolicy.test.mjs` drives a `QueryObserver` with that same
production object — locking the policy behaviorally (fresh focus return
→ 0 fetches; stale → refetch) and failing if a hook's
`staleTime`/`refetchOnWindowFocus` wiring drifts.

Four families deliberately keep tighter freshness, all surfaces where
the 5-minute gate would suppress the only refresh path and none of which
feed the app-wide storm: `repo-sync-status` keeps its fresh focus
refetch (its inline comment documents the "committed in a terminal,
switched back to the app" flow as intended); the workflow-runs list
stale-gates at 10s because a remotely-started run has no push
invalidation and its conditional 1s poll is off while the cache shows no
active runs; the workflow list queries (`useChannelWorkflowsQuery` and
the all-channels aggregate) stale-gate at 10s because they have no poll
and no relay subscription, and mutation-driven invalidation only covers
this renderer — remote workflow creates/edits/deletes surface only via
focus refetch; and the managed-agent log stale-gates at one poll tick
(30s) so returning to a live agent log refreshes immediately. Run
approvals keep the 5-minute gate under
`RUN_APPROVALS_FOCUS_STALE_TIME_MS` — their focused 10s poll already
covers freshness.

## 2. Synchronous localStorage sweep on the boot/focus path

#5453's stale-cache sweep synchronously `getItem` + `JSON.parse`s every
whitelisted localStorage entry on the main thread (multi-MB on seasoned
profiles), scheduled with a `requestIdleCallback` timeout of 1.5s that
guaranteed it landed mid-boot, and re-armed on every hidden→visible
transition — stacking it onto the exact moment the focus storm fires.
#5454's `trimSelfProfileCaches()` additionally scanned every
localStorage key on every `writeSelfProfileCache()` call (which fires
per relay self-profile delivery at boot).

Now: the first sweep waits `BOOT_SWEEP_FLOOR_MS` (30s) after startup,
the scan is time-sliced across idle callbacks, and the visibility
trigger is removed — boot-delayed plus hourly still covers the 14-day
TTL contract. The sliced sweep re-checks staleness immediately before
each removal (a key rewritten fresh mid-sweep survives), isolates
per-key storage errors so one bad entry can't strand the rest of the
snapshot, defers oversized values once rather than parsing them on a
zero-budget slice, guarantees forward progress on timeout-fired
callbacks, and cancels its scheduled slice when stopped. The profile
trim keeps a lazily-initialized memoized key count so the common
under-cap write is O(1); the full parse scan runs only when the count
exceeds a cap, resyncs if external deletions made it stale, and a failed
scan skips the trim instead of aborting the write. Sweep semantics
(rules, TTLs, eviction) are unchanged, and tests cover the scheduling,
slice-progress, error-isolation, defer-once, and trim short-circuit
behaviors.

## 3. The macOS window was never opaque

#5478's glass appearance is correctly opt-in at the CSS layer, but the
compositor cost was baked in deeper than its native `on_webview_ready`
transparency call: the main window is declared `"transparent": true` in
`tauri.conf.json` (added for the original glass work in #1671), which
makes tao call `NSWindow.setOpaque(false)` at creation and resolve every
later `set_background_color(None)` to `clearColor` — and no runtime
`setOpaque(true)` path exists through tauri, while wry's runtime
background setter can only force the WKWebView's `drawsBackground` off,
never back on. So "restore the platform default" was unreachable: every
launch, glass or not, ran with a non-opaque NSWindow, defeating
WindowServer's opaque-window compositing fast path and forcing full
window compositing every frame — compounded by the existing
`backdrop-blur` chrome overlapping the scrolling timeline. This matches
the compositor-shaped symptoms (scroll and pointer input degrading
first).

The window is now created opaque (`"transparent": false`) and the
NSWindow layer is never made transparent at runtime. Glass never needed
a transparent window: behind-window `NSVisualEffectView` vibrancy
renders inside opaque windows (this is how Finder and Notes draw vibrant
sidebars); it only requires a transparent WKWebView canvas, which the
`set_window_vibrancy` enable path already establishes at runtime
(`macos-private-api` compiles that in independent of the window flag).
Enabling glass installs the vibrancy layer and then makes only the
webview canvas see-through; disabling clears the vibrancy layer — the
canvas may stay non-drawing afterwards (wry's flag is one-way at
runtime), which is harmless because glass-off CSS paints fully opaque
above an always-opaque NSWindow. The boot-path first-frame backing
writes touch only the NSWindow backing color and are therefore inert to
glass state regardless of how they order against the `ThemeProvider`'s
vibrancy call on a persisted-glass-on cold boot. Glass-off users (the
default) get an end-to-end opaque window from boot for the first time.

## 4. `get_channels`: serial round-trips and a multi-MB payload on every
refetch

The stale gates in (1) cut refetch frequency; this cuts the cost of the
refetches that legitimately remain (boot, and focus returns after more
than 5 minutes away — previously still a multi-second stall).
`get_channels` made ~8 fully serial relay round-trips (~3.2–3.6s at
1,100+ channels), then shipped the full `ChannelInfo` list — including
every channel's member pubkeys — across IPC, where the renderer's
`JSON.parse` of the multi-MB payload froze the main thread (the ~1.25s
stall captured in the live sample).

- **Concurrent stages**: the membership chain, the open-channel
directory scan, and the hidden-DM snapshot run concurrently, as do the
member-count and last-message queries that follow. The critical path
drops from ~8 sequential round-trips to 2 phases. Filters, limits,
pagination, and merge semantics are unchanged.
- **Not-modified short-circuit**: the command now takes a
client-supplied content hash (FNV-1a 64 over the channel list,
canonicalized by id and excluding `last_message_at`) and omits the
channel list from the response when nothing else changed. Last-message
timestamps — which change on nearly every message anywhere — ship as a
small separate map that the client overlays onto its cached list with
reference preservation, so React Query's structural sharing also skips
downstream re-renders. On a typical refocus the renderer parses
kilobytes instead of megabytes. The hash is stored in the query cache
itself, tying its lifecycle to the data it describes so a community
switch can never leak a stale hash.

The E2E mock bridge speaks the new payload shape — including the
complete `last_messages` map the client treats as authoritative — and
hash canonicalization plus overlay reference-preservation are
unit-tested on both sides.

b29c8cdaa4 feat(desktop): redesign the Huddle experience (#4281)
## Summary

- open Huddles in a focused companion window with a clean handoff back
to the in-app drawer and backing channel
- redesign the participant film strip, sidebar control, transcript
surface, and themed shell treatment
- preserve microphone and device control across windows, start agent
voice on the first reply, and show agent speaking activity in the film
strip
- give each agent a distinct session voice, beginning with the
configured default, plus compact per-agent text-to-speech and voice
controls
- enroll only agents explicitly mentioned or deliberately added through
an agent panel into the live Huddle roster
- keep temporary Huddle channels out of the sidebar unless the user
explicitly brings one into the main app
- remove Huddle-only avatar policy badges and filter short silence or
noise segments before speech-to-text posts

## Why

The previous flow exposed the temporary channel as product UI, obscured
who was present or speaking, and split transcript and audio state
between the main and companion windows. This keeps backing channels as
implementation details unless a user explicitly brings a Huddle into the
app, while sharing the live conversation and audio lifecycle across both
surfaces. Agent participants now join only after an explicit invitation,
distinct voices make multi-agent Huddles easier to follow, and short
microphone noise no longer becomes stray transcript messages.

## Validation

- `pnpm check`
- `pnpm build:e2e`
- `pnpm exec playwright test tests/e2e/huddle-transcription.spec.ts
--project=smoke` (13 passed)
- Huddle sidebar visibility unit coverage (4 passed)
- focused managed-agent and persona-mention E2E coverage (2 passed)
- `pnpm test` (3,910 passed)
- `cargo clippy --manifest-path desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
--all-targets -- -D warnings`
- `cargo test --manifest-path desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml` (2,093
passed, 14 ignored; 3 diagnostics passed)
