Folders and conversation→folder assignments now sync across machines:
- Folder gains updatedAt (v11 migration) to resolve renames/reparents
last-write-wins across machines.
- New folders.json manifest at the sync repo root: folder tree +
conversationId→folderId assignments, imported before conversation
files so new conversations land in the right folder immediately.
- Local folders missing from the manifest are pruned (reparent-safe),
guarded the same way conversation-orphan cleanup already is against
an empty/stale manifest wiping everything.
Three real bugs found and fixed during live multi-machine testing:
- Sidebar never refreshed after Git Sync imported conversations/folders
directly into the database — only reloaded on launch or when the
advanced conversation list closed, with no equivalent hook for the
Settings sheet.
- "Sync Now" exported before pulling, so it could write folders.json
as an untracked file that then collided with the remote's tracked
copy on the next pull ("untracked working tree files would be
overwritten by merge"). Reordered to pull → import → export → push.
- Folder assignment only applied to brand-new conversations during
import, so any conversation already synced to a machine before this
feature existed never got filed — which in practice is every
conversation on a second machine, not an edge case. Now backfills
a folder assignment for existing conversations that aren't filed
anywhere locally yet, without clobbering an already-set folderId.
Also renamed the "Initialize Repository" button to "Clone Repository"
(it's always been a git clone, not new-repo creation) across the UI,
localization catalog, and Help Book.
Folders can now contain other folders, arbitrarily deep — e.g. "Work"
containing "Project A"/"Project B". v10 migration adds a
self-referencing parentId column; tree ordering, depth, and cycle
detection are pure Swift (Folder.orderedTree/isDescendant/
visibleFolderIds), not SQL, so listFolders() stays a simple flat
query.
- Create nested folders via "New Subfolder…" (context menu, both
list views) or by dragging a folder onto another to reparent it.
Dragging onto an existing descendant is rejected (cycle guard).
- Deleting a folder reparents its children and any conversations
filed directly in it up one level to the deleted folder's own
parent — conversations are never deleted. This also fixes a real
bug: the previous deleteFolder never persisted unfiling to the
database, only patched in-memory state, so a conversation whose
folder was deleted kept a dangling folderId and silently vanished
from view after the next relaunch.
- All "Move to Folder" pickers (sidebar, advanced list, per-row
context menus, the Save dialog's folder popup) show an indented
flat list reflecting the tree.
- New DraggedItem enum disambiguates a dragged folder from dragged
conversation(s) in the shared string-based drag payload, and
unifies both list views on the same bundled-multi-selection format
— closes a gap where dragging a multi-selection in the advanced
list (⌘L) only moved the one row grabbed, unlike the sidebar.
Confirmed working live, including relaunch-survival of the
delete/reparent fix.
ConversationListView (advanced list, ⌘L): ⌘-click toggles a row,
Shift-click selects a contiguous range, and a "Move to Folder"
toolbar button/context-menu entry moves every selected conversation
at once. Confirmed working live.
SidebarView: same capability, adapted to the sidebar's own click
model since opening a chat there previously required only a single
click. Single-click now selects only (replacing the prior selection),
⌘/Shift-click work the same as the advanced list, and double-click
opens a chat (clearing the selection). Selected rows get a distinct
neutral tint from the existing accent highlight used for the
currently-open conversation. Dragging a row that's part of a
multi-selection now bundles every selected conversation's ID into the
drag payload, so dropping on a folder moves the whole selection
instead of just the dragged row.
Range-selection math (idsInRange) is defined once on
ConversationListView and reused directly by SidebarView rather than
duplicated — it's `internal`, not `private`, specifically so both
views can share it.
Inline single-backtick spans and multi-line fenced ```blocks``` now
render with monospace styling as you type, plus real per-language
syntax highlighting for fenced blocks (reusing the existing
SyntaxHighlighter utility). Only complete, closed spans/fences light
up — an unterminated backtick or fence is left as plain text until
closed.
Pure regex/range logic extracted into testable static functions
(inlineCodeRanges, fencedCodeBlocks, fencedCodeBlockRanges) rather
than living inline in the NSTextView coordinator.
"oAI" reads as easily confused with OpenAI, both visually and in
casual conversation. Renamed to "Confab" throughout: Xcode
target/scheme/bundle ID (com.oai.Confab), Info.plist and Help Book
identity, all user-facing UI text, internal Log subsystem and color
identifiers, localization catalogs (6 languages, including a proper
reworded/retranslated Intel-deprecation notice), Help Book HTML
content, and docs (README/DEVELOPMENT/PRIVACY/SECURITY).
Deliberately cosmetic-only: the on-disk data folder
(~/Library/Application Support/oAI/), database/backup filenames,
Keychain service identifiers, and EncryptionService's key-derivation
inputs are all left untouched so existing conversations, settings,
and stored API keys survive the update with zero migration and no
re-entering credentials. Verified live: a real signed build
successfully decrypted a stored API key and loaded an existing
conversation database after the bundle ID change.
Also includes a small already-completed, previously uncommitted
model-release-date feature (ModelInfo/OpenRouterModels/
OpenRouterProvider/ModelInfoView) that happened to share several
files with this rename.
Gitignored on this branch and updated on disk but not part of this
commit: CLAUDE.md, RELEASE_NOTES.md, and the build*.sh scripts.
Replaces heuristic auto-save (goodbye-phrase detection, idle timeout,
min-message count, on-model-switch) with a standard macOS unsaved-changes
gate (Save/Don't Save/Cancel) on New Chat, Clear Chat, Load Conversation,
and Quit. The Save dialog gained a folder picker with inline "New Folder…"
creation.
Separately, the in-progress conversation is periodically mirrored to disk
(DraftRecoveryService, configurable interval in Settings, default 10s) and
offered back on next launch if oAI crashes or is force-quit, including the
model that was selected.
Two real bugs found via ObjectIdentifier/log-based diagnosis before this
worked correctly:
- oAIApp.init() wired AppDelegate.chatViewModel from its own @State read,
which returned a throwaway ChatViewModel instance distinct from the one
ContentView actually renders. Wiring moved to ContentView.onAppear.
- NSApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate always failed silently:
@NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor registers an internal SwiftUI.AppDelegate
wrapper as the real NSApp.delegate (same name, different type in a
different module), which forwards protocol methods but isn't castable
to our type. AppDelegate now tracks itself via a static `shared`.
Also guards checkForCrashRecoveryDraft() against running under
XCTestConfigurationFilePath — oAITests is app-hosted, so xcodebuild test
launches this same app, and a leftover draft file on disk would otherwise
hang the entire test run on a blocking NSAlert with no one to click it.
Top item on the roadmap ranking from 2026-07-27 — multi-modal export
alongside the existing Markdown/JSON. New ConversationExportService
consolidates the two previously-duplicated Markdown builders
(ChatViewModel and ConversationListView had separate copies of the
same **User**/**Assistant** + --- format) and adds:
- A hand-rolled Markdown->HTML renderer scoped to what actually shows
up in chat messages (headers, bold/italic, inline code, fenced code
blocks, lists, blockquotes, links, horizontal rules) rather than
full CommonMark/GFM — no existing markdown-to-HTML utility existed
in the codebase, and swift-markdown-ui is SwiftUI-view-only with no
HTML-string export API. Content is HTML-escaped before any markdown
substitution so example code containing "<div>" etc renders as
visible text, not live markup.
- PDF via an offscreen WKWebView loading that same HTML and calling
the official createPDF(configuration:) API (macOS 11+) — no new
project/framework linkage needed, WebKit is a system framework.
Wired into every place Markdown export already existed: File menu
(Export as HTML.../PDF...), /export slash command (now md|html|pdf|json),
and a new Export submenu (Markdown/HTML/PDF) on each conversation row's
context menu in the advanced conversation list, replacing the old
single-format swipe-only export. Help docs and InputBar autocomplete
updated to match.
Creating/renaming/deleting a folder in ConversationListView only ever
updated its own local @State — the sidebar has a separate folders
array that was only refreshed by onAppear or conversation-change
triggers, so a folder created in the modal didn't show up in the
sidebar until the next app launch. Sidebar now reloads when
showConversations transitions to false (the modal closing).
collapse state, make merge provider picker visibly clickable
Deleted conversations coming back: exportAllConversations() only ever
wrote files for conversations that currently exist — it never removed
the exported markdown file for a conversation that had been deleted
locally. That file just sits in the sync repo forever, so every
future pull+import (including on every app startup) silently
resurrects it, since importAllConversations() only skips an import
when a matching local ID already exists. Fixed by having export also
delete orphaned files (conversation ID no longer present locally), and
added GitSyncService.syncAfterDeletion() — a debounced export+push
triggered right after any delete/bulk-delete/merge-cleanup, so the
removal reaches the remote promptly instead of waiting on an
unrelated future auto-save. Existing duplicates need one more manual
delete to clear, but they'll stay gone after that.
Folder collapse state now persists (SettingsService.collapsedFolderIds,
JSON-encoded like favoriteModelIds) and is restored on app launch, in
both the sidebar and the advanced conversation list.
Merge model picker: the provider switcher was legitimate (it does load
each provider's own catalog independently) but looked like plain
text — no chevron, no button styling — so it wasn't obviously
clickable. Restyled to match HeaderView's provider menu affordance
(icon + label + chevron on a colored pill).
Folders now list alphabetically (case-insensitive) everywhere they're
shown — sidebar, advanced conversation list, and the "Move to Folder"
menu — rather than creation order. listFolders() does the sort at the
DB layer; in-memory folder arrays are re-sorted after local
create/rename so newly added or renamed folders don't fall out of
order until the next reload.
Combine Conversations' AI-Assisted Merge no longer silently assumes
settings.defaultModel — added a model picker (reusing ModelSelectorView,
defaulting to the current default model/provider) so users can pick
which model performs the merge per-combine. ConversationMergeService.merge
takes optional mergeModelId/mergeProvider overrides.
.draggable()'s default drag-preview snapshot wasn't inheriting the
app's dark appearance, rendering the conversation name in black on a
transparent background while dragging. Supply an explicit preview
view instead — white text on the accent color pill — so it stays
legible for the duration of the drag, independent of the row's own
(already-correct) rendering before and after the move.
Pin conversation row title text to .foregroundStyle(.primary) instead
of the implicit default — under List's sidebar/source-list style,
AppKit's row highlighting could resolve default text to black on a
just-interacted-with row (e.g. right after a drag/context-menu move),
making it unreadable. Also drop Section(isExpanded:), which was
rendering its own native disclosure chevron on the right in addition
to the custom one already in the header on the left; folder collapse
now works purely off the existing collapsedFolders state with a plain
Section, so only the intended left-side chevron remains.
SwiftUI's dropDestination(for:action:) action closure is Void-
returning, not Bool, so handleDrop's Bool return was being silently
discarded — made the discard explicit with _ =.
Folder sections now collapse via an explicit chevron/tap header
(rather than relying on platform-dependent native disclosure, which
didn't render/click reliably) — same collapsed-state binding also
backs Section(isExpanded:) so content visibility stays in sync.
Conversations are draggable onto folder/Unfiled headers to file/unfile
them. Folder names render bold. "New Folder" is now a dedicated button
next to "New Chat" in the sidebar, and next to "Select" in the
advanced conversation list, instead of a small icon buried in the
search row.
Conversations can now be filed into flat (non-nested) folders, shown
as collapsible sections in both the sidebar and the advanced
conversation list. New folders migration (v9) adds a folders table
and conversations.folderId with ON DELETE SET NULL, so deleting a
folder unfiles its conversations rather than losing them. Move/rename/
delete via context menu; conversation lists with no folders fall back
to the existing flat view unchanged.
- ContentView now reads/writes SettingsService.sidebarVisible so the
NavigationSplitView sidebar's shown/hidden state survives relaunch,
matching the existing window size/position persistence.
- Default system prompt gains a rule: always reply in the user's
language, even for requests (e.g. translation) targeting another one.
Consolidates the mac.oai.pm subdomain references (introduced in the
PolyForm Noncommercial relicense) to the root oai.pm domain, across
the LICENSE file, README, and all Swift source file headers.

Switches the project from AGPL to a source-available license that
restricts commercial use — selling oAI or any part of it, standalone
or bundled into another product/service, now requires a separate
commercial license from the copyright holder. Noncommercial use,
study, modification, and sharing remain fully permitted.
Updates: LICENSE (canonical PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 text +
commercial licensing contact note), SPDX headers and file-header
boilerplate across all Swift source files, the in-app About dialog's
license link (+ its localization catalog entry), README.md and
DEVELOPMENT.md license sections.

Two contributing layout issues in the chat message bubble:
1. MessageRow's content VStack (icon + text HStack) had no
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity), so it sized to its content's ideal
width instead of the space actually available.
2. swift-markdown-ui renders paragraphs with mixed inline styling
(bold/italic runs next to plain text) as concatenated Text(+)
segments, which on macOS report their ideal unwrapped single-line
size for height purposes instead of wrapping — truncating with "…"
regardless of window width. Plain single-style paragraphs (a single
Text) weren't affected, which is why some lines wrapped fine and
others didn't.
Fixed by adding .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) to
the MessageRow content stack, and .fixedSize(horizontal: false,
vertical: true) to the markdown paragraph label so height is
recomputed for the width actually given instead of the ideal width.

Personal Data Tools: native Calendar, Reminders, Contacts (hidden pending
Apple TCC fix in beta), and Location & Maps access via EventKit, Contacts
framework, and MapKit. Write actions (create event/reminder, complete
reminder) gate through an approval sheet. Four hardened-runtime entitlements
added to oAI.entitlements; Info.plist usage strings added for all services.
Personal Data section shows a β badge while Contacts is hidden.
2nd Brain always-trust: inline toggle on the Agent Skills row for the skill
named "2nd Brain" skips the bash approval dialog when the command contains
.brain_helper.py, gated by three runtime checks in MCPService.
Research agents: spawn_research_agents tool runs up to 5 concurrent read-only
sub-agents (read_file, list_directory, search_files, web_search — no write,
no bash, no nesting). Bounded by maxConcurrentAgents setting (default 3) and
a hard ceiling of 8 tasks. Added items field to Tool.Function.Parameters.Property
for JSON Schema array support; wired into AnthropicProvider.convertParametersToDict.

The save indicator was sitting in the bottom-right corner of the footer.
Moved it to the center of the header bar, where macOS apps conventionally
show the document/conversation title. An orange dot appears when there are
unsaved changes; clicking saves. Removed the indicator from the footer.

- Replace TextEditor with NativeTextEditor (NSViewRepresentable) so plain
Enter sends the message and Shift/Cmd+Enter inserts a newline. The old
TextEditor passed bare Return directly to NSTextView before SwiftUI's
onKeyPress could intercept it, accidentally making Cmd+Enter send instead.
- Add More…/Less toggle in ModelInfoView for descriptions longer than 250
characters, with smooth expand/collapse animation.
