- Add Vite define for __APP_VERSION__ from package.json
- Use dynamic version in gateway connect handshake and userAgent
- Show version number in sidebar footer
- Add globals.d.ts type declaration
Updates document.title dynamically to show the current session label
(e.g. 'main — PinchChat'). Integrates with the existing notification
system so unread badges still work correctly (e.g. '(3) main — PinchChat').
Resets to plain 'PinchChat' when no session is selected.
The Chat component (and its heavy markdown dependencies ~476KB) are now
loaded via React.lazy() + Suspense. Users see the login screen faster
since only ~245KB is needed initially instead of ~750KB.
- Generate 192x192, 512x512, 180x180, 32x32, and 16x16 icons from logo
- Add manifest.json for PWA install support (standalone display)
- Add apple-touch-icon for iOS home screen
- Use sized favicons instead of full 1024x1024 logo.png
Check typeof Notification before accessing .permission or
requestPermission(). Fixes crash on browsers/contexts where
the Notification API is unavailable (e.g. some WebViews).
Show inline hint when the gateway URL doesn't start with ws:// or wss://
and disable the connect button until it's valid. Prevents confusing
connection errors from malformed URLs.
Show a spinner with 'Loading messages…' text while chat history
is being fetched during session switches, instead of briefly
flashing the empty welcome screen. Includes EN/FR i18n.
Show Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, Slack brand icons,
clock icon for cron sessions, bot icon for sub-agents, and
globe icon for webchat sessions. Falls back to message bubble
for unknown channels.
Closes feedback #23
- Chat.tsx: replace mutable variable in render IIFE with useMemo+reduce
to satisfy react-hooks/immutability rule
- ConnectionBanner.tsx: move setState calls into a useCallback to avoid
synchronous setState in effect body (react-hooks/set-state-in-effect)
- useGateway.ts: suppress set-state-in-effect for legitimate mount init
Shows a subtle horizontal line with the date label (Today, Yesterday, or
full date) when messages span multiple days. Helps orient users when
scrolling through long conversation histories.
Includes i18n support (EN/FR) for the date labels.
Hover over any user message to reveal a retry button (↻) that resends
the message text. Disabled while a response is generating.
Includes EN/FR i18n strings.
When the tab is not focused:
- Tab title shows unread count: (3) PinchChat
- Browser notification with message preview (if permitted)
- Notifications collapse into one via tag
- Click notification to focus tab
- All clears when tab regains focus
- Permission requested on first user interaction
Disables animations and reduces transition durations to near-zero
when the user has enabled reduced-motion in their OS settings.
Also replaces README screenshot placeholder with link to live demo.

Replace the disparate gradient/orange/red color scheme with a single
soft sky-blue (rgb 56,189,248) that subtly intensifies as usage grows.
Opacity ramps from 0.35 at low usage to 1.0 at full context.
Applies to both sidebar session bars and header token bar.
- Demo animation is now the first thing visitors see (in the hero)
- Features use alternating left/right layout with visual panels

Closes feedback #13

- Filters sessions by label/key in real-time

Appears on hover over assistant message bubbles. Shows a check icon
with 'Copied!' feedback for 2s after clicking. i18n support (EN/FR).
Does not show on streaming messages or empty messages.
Replaces the screenshot placeholder with a live animated demo showing:
- Sidebar with fake sessions and token usage bars
- User typing animation with cursor
- Thinking indicator with animated dots
- Colored tool call badges (web_search, exec)
- Expandable tool results with parameters
- Formatted assistant response with markdown
- Auto-looping animation
All pure CSS/JS, no dependencies. Matches the app's dark theme and color scheme.
Closes feedback item #12
Adds a slim animated banner below the header that:
- Shows 'Connection lost — reconnecting…' with spinner when WS drops
- Flashes 'Reconnected!' with auto-dismiss after 3s on recovery
- Only appears after initial connection (not on first load)
- Supports EN/FR via i18n system
- Uses aria role=alert for accessibility
Reorder and rewrite feature descriptions to highlight what actually
differentiates PinchChat: tool call visualization, GPT-like interface,
multi-session navigation. Remove generic features (markdown, file upload,
dark theme) that don't sell the product. Pragmatic tone, no fluff.
