Related Issue

No issue — this continues the settings/desktop UI work that landed in #97, and the problem is described below.

Problem

Settings was a modal. SettingsDialog.vue had grown to 1,571 lines fusing four unrelated jobs — the fixed backdrop and focus trap, its own tab navigation, ten page bodies, and the derived state each page needed — behind an interface of 22 props and 12 emits. Because the modal chrome was welded to the content, the pages could only ever render as an overlay: opening Settings hid the whole app behind a scrim, including the sidebar the user had just been navigating.

Three smaller problems came with it:

The settings surface only exposed appearance, account and connection. Plugins, skills, subagents, hooks and usage had no UI at all, and plugins and subagent profiles had no REST surface either — they existed only over the internal core RPC.
A disabled skill could not be turned off from anywhere.
The README had no desktop download badge, and the desktop artifacts are published to a different repository than the one the README lives in.

What changed

Settings became a route. SettingsDialog.vue is deleted and replaced by focused modules:

composables/useSettingsNav.ts owns the SettingsTab union, the three nav groups, the active tab, and the guarded lazy loads. Counts come in as MaybeRefOrGetter so it reads live list lengths instead of duplicating state.
components/settings/SettingsNav.vue renders the nav and is hosted by the real Sidebar.
components/settings/SettingsPane.vue hosts the pages inline in the content area. No backdrop, nothing position: fixed.
Ten page components under components/settings/pages/, each taking only the props it needs and owning its own derived state.
components/settings/ListingRow.vue and settings.css carry the shared row and rules.

Sidebar gained mode: 'sessions' | 'settings'. Its header and New Session button stay mounted in both modes; only the body below swaps. ConversationPane yields the content area to SettingsPane. Mobile is untouched — it stays a sheet.

Five new settings pages, plus the backend they needed:

Skills, with an enable/disable switch. Turning one off writes a disabledSkills config list that SessionSkillRegistry.register filters. That is the single funnel every skill source goes through, so a disabled skill is invisible to the model, the slash menu and the API alike — built-ins included.
Plugins, Subagents, Connectors and Hooks.
Usage stats: token, session, turn and cost totals with a per-model share bar.
ICatalogService behind GET /plugins, POST /plugins/{id}:set-enabled and GET /agent-profiles, with protocol schemas for each. One service rather than two, because both collections are global rather than session-scoped.

Row design follows a flat, borderless idiom: a leading glyph, the name and its tags inline, and a right-hand action cluster. Only the row content fades when an entry is off, so the switch that turns it back on keeps full contrast.

Model menu splits into a model list and an effort list, with the effort levels derived from the model's declared supportEfforts.

README gains three desktop download badges in the hero row. Per-platform counts cannot come from shields.io directly: its asset wildcards silently report 0 (a tag whose .dmg had 39,877 downloads returns 0 for *.dmg), exact asset names embed the version so they break on every release, and dynamic/json rejects every filter expression. A daily workflow sums the counts from the desktop releases repo and publishes them as shields endpoint documents on the orphan badges branch, which main's protection rules do not block.

Verification

pnpm -C apps/pythinker-web exec vitest run — 322 passed (58 files)
pnpm -C apps/pythinker-web exec vue-tsc --noEmit — clean
pnpm run lint — 0 errors
pnpm run build — clean
agent-core, protocol and server suites — green

Every new assertion was proven able to fail by breaking the implementation it covers and confirming the red before restoring.

Note for reviewers

The active settings tab now persists across close and reopen. The modal remounted on every open and reset to General; the composable lives in App.vue and does not. This is a deliberate behaviour change, called out here rather than buried.

I have read the CONTRIBUTING document.
I have linked a related issue, or explained the problem above.
I have added tests that prove my feature works.
Ran gen-changesets skill, or this PR needs no changeset. — two minor changesets, both listing @pymodel/pythinker-code: the changed packages are all ignored by changesets, but the web app and the server both ship inside the CLI release artifact, so the CLI is the package that carries them.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added a routed settings experience for agents, plugins, skills, subagents, connectors, hooks, usage, account, and advanced options.
- Added plugin enable/disable controls, connector restart actions, catalog listings, and skill management.
- Added support for disabling selected skills.
- Improved model selection with separate thinking-effort navigation.
- Added desktop download badges for macOS and Windows releases.
Improvements
- Improved dock panel positioning while keeping the message composer fixed.
- Added clearer loading, empty, status, and error states throughout settings.

The flat menu showed every model of the provider plus every effort level at once, so it was tall before it had anything to say. It now opens on two rows — Model and Effort, each with its current value — and drills into one list at a time, with a back row to return.

The chips and their panel sat in the dock's flow, so the composer moved down whenever a task appeared and moved again when a panel opened. They now stack upwards from the top edge of the composer, outside the flow, and the gap between them passes clicks through to the conversation.

The hover rule read var(--hover-bg), a name defined nowhere. An unresolvable var() invalidates the whole declaration, so the background fell back to transparent and the conversation showed through the chip. Mix the hover tone from the panel fill instead, and add a test that every custom property used without a fallback resolves.

Settings had no view of what the agent can actually reach. Skills lists the session's skills grouped by source, marking the ones the model must not invoke; Connectors lists the configured MCP servers with their transport, connection state, tool count and last error, and can restart one. Connectors are fetched the first time the page is opened, not on mount, so a user who never visits it pays nothing.

Skills were all-or-nothing: the only control was mergeAllAvailableSkills. A new disabledSkills config list is filtered in SessionSkillRegistry.register, the single funnel every source goes through, so a skill turned off is invisible to the model, the slash menu and the API alike — built-ins included. The Skills page carries the switch and now packs each skill into one row.

Settings was a 720px modal with four flat tabs. It now fills the window, and the nav is grouped into Basics, Agent capabilities and Data and statistics. Two pages are new. Hooks lists the configured lifecycle hooks grouped by event, with the matcher, transport and command each one runs. Usage stats totals tokens, sessions, turns and cost across every loaded session and breaks the token share down per model. Skills gains a search box and an item count, and every list row is now a card matching the app's own surfaces.

Neither collection had a REST surface: plugins and subagent profiles were reachable only over the core rpc, so the web client could not see them. A new ICatalogService wraps both — they are global rather than session-scoped, so one service is less machinery than two near-identical wrappers — behind GET /plugins, POST /plugins/{id}:set-enabled and GET /agent-profiles. Plugins lists each plugin with its version, source, skill and MCP-server counts, load errors, and a switch. Subagents lists each profile with its source, tool count, model and effort.

Port the connector-row anatomy from the open-webui reference: flat borderless rows with a leading glyph, the name and its tags inline, and a right-hand action cluster. Only the row content fades when an entry is off, so the switch that turns it back on keeps full contrast.

SettingsDialog fused four jobs into 1,571 lines: the modal shell, the tab nav, ten page bodies and their derived state. Because the shell was welded to the content, the pages could only ever render as an overlay. Split it. useSettingsNav owns the tab union, the groups, the active tab and the guarded lazy loads; SettingsNav renders the nav inside the real sidebar, and SettingsPane hosts one component per page in the content area. The sidebar keeps its header and New Session button in both modes and swaps only its body.

New Session and Back to sessions both exit the route now — the sidebar shows one body at a time, so starting a draft while the settings pane held the content area left the new session invisible. The sessions-mode gear moves to the trailing edge of the footer; the settings-mode back arrow keeps the leading edge.

The desktop app publishes to PyModel/pythinker-desktop-releases, not this repo, so the counter points there. Platform badges are static links rather than per-asset counters: shields.io asset wildcards silently report 0 (a tag with a 39,877-download .dmg returns 0 for *.dmg), and exact asset names embed the version, so they break on every release.

shields.io cannot split downloads by asset: its wildcards silently report 0 (a tag whose .dmg had 39,877 downloads returns 0 for *.dmg), exact asset names embed the version so they break every release, and dynamic/json rejects every filter expression. A daily workflow sums the counts from the desktop releases repo and publishes them as shields endpoint documents on the orphan badges branch, which main's protection rules do not block. The badges move into the hero row in for-the-badge style, matching the rest of that row rather than adding a fourth style to the README.

Installers shipped from pythinker-code through v0.1.0 and move to pythinker-desktop-releases from the next release on. Summing both repos keeps the counters continuous instead of resetting at the handover.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces the settings dialog with routed settings pages, adds catalog REST APIs and configurable skill disabling, updates model and dock presentation, and automates desktop download badges.

Changes

Routed settings experience

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Settings contracts and client data `apps/pythinker-web/src/api/...`, `apps/pythinker-web/src/composables/...`, `apps/pythinker-web/src/i18n/locales/en/settings.ts`	Adds typed settings models, daemon mappings, catalog methods, lazy loading, and localized settings navigation.
Settings navigation and pages `apps/pythinker-web/src/App.vue`, `apps/pythinker-web/src/components/Sidebar.vue`, `apps/pythinker-web/src/components/settings/*`	Replaces the modal with routed pages for general, agent, advanced, experimental, skills, connectors, plugins, subagents, hooks, and usage settings.
Settings behavior validation `apps/pythinker-web/test/settings-pane.test.ts`, `apps/pythinker-web/test/composer.test.ts`, `apps/pythinker-web/test/css-custom-properties.test.ts`	Tests settings navigation, page rendering, configuration updates, catalog data, route transitions, model menus, and CSS custom properties.

Catalog REST and skill disabling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Catalog and configuration contracts `packages/protocol/src/rest/catalog.ts`, `packages/protocol/src/rest/config.ts`, `packages/agent-core/src/config/*`, `packages/agent-core/src/services/catalog/catalog.ts`	Defines catalog schemas and service contracts. Adds disabled-skill configuration fields.
Catalog service and skill enforcement `packages/agent-core/src/services/catalog/*`, `packages/agent-core/src/session/index.ts`, `packages/agent-core/src/skill/registry.ts`	Delegates catalog operations to core RPC methods and prevents disabled skills from registry registration and plugin indexing.
Catalog routes and validation `packages/server/src/routes/catalog.ts`, `packages/server/src/routes/registerApiV1Routes.ts`, `packages/server/src/start.ts`, `packages/server/test/catalog.e2e.test.ts`, `packages/agent-core/test/skill/registry.test.ts`	Registers catalog routes and service initialization. Tests catalog requests and disabled-skill behavior.

Desktop presentation updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Model dropdown and dock layout `apps/pythinker-web/src/components/Composer.vue`, `apps/pythinker-web/src/components/ChatDock.vue`, `apps/pythinker-web/test/composer.test.ts`	Adds nested model and effort menus, floating dock panels, and interaction tests.

Desktop download badges

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Badge aggregation and publication `.github/workflows/desktop-download-badges.yml`, `README.md`, `.changeset/*`	Aggregates desktop release downloads, publishes total and platform badges, and records the release changesets.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 52dbb

This PR adds inline settings and new skill/catalog controls, but unresolved correctness issues can leave disabled plugin skills retrievable and show stale subagent information after workspace changes; weak response assertions also reduce protection against API contract regressions. These bounded risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

In `@apps/pythinker-web/src/App.vue`:
- Around line 614-623: Update the subagents loading flow used by useSettingsNav
and client.loadSubagents to associate the cached list with the active session
cwd, invalidating or reloading it whenever that cwd changes so stale workspace
data is not displayed. Ensure the loader also runs when settings opens with
activeSettingsTab set to subagents, even when a previously cached list is
non-empty.

In `@apps/pythinker-web/src/components/settings/pages/AgentPage.vue`:
- Around line 30-38: Update the model-option construction around byId and
config.defaultModel so a configured default absent from both models sources is
added as a fallback option, preserving its value and displaying an appropriate
label/provider. Keep existing options unchanged and ensure the select has a
matching option for the saved default.

In `@apps/pythinker-web/src/components/settings/pages/SkillsPage.vue`:
- Around line 38-49: Normalize skill names consistently in isSkillEnabled and
toggleSkill: compare names case-insensitively, and when toggling an enabled
skill remove any existing case-insensitive matching entry before emitting
disabledSkills; preserve sorting and avoid duplicate variants.

In `@apps/pythinker-web/test/settings-pane.test.ts`:
- Around line 85-86: Move the static App and ConversationPane imports into the
file’s initial import block before any vi.mock declarations, preserving their
existing import paths and removing the later declarations so Oxlint no longer
reports import ordering issues.

In `@packages/agent-core/src/services/catalog/catalog.ts`:
- Around line 1-16: Remove the file-level block comment above ICatalogService in
the catalog service while leaving the contract and type declarations unchanged.

In `@packages/agent-core/src/skill/registry.ts`:
- Around line 78-80: Update indexPluginSkill to return immediately when the
skill name is in disabledNames, preventing disabled plugin skills from being
indexed or returned by getPluginSkill; add a regression test covering a disabled
plugin-sourced skill.

Apply the same fix in `@packages/server/src/routes/catalog.ts` around lines 58 -
144: Covers the requested route-level tests for the new catalog endpoints and
validation paths.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 14: Update the desktop downloads badge to use a generated total endpoint
document from the workflow that aggregates downloads across both release
repositories, replacing the current single-repository shields.io URL while
preserving the existing badge presentation and link.

Drop disabled plugin skills at discovery indexing, not only at register, so getPluginSkill can no longer return one. Refetch subagents on every visit to their page, since the cached list belongs to the session whose working directory produced it. Match disabled skill names case-insensitively in the web settings, as the core does. Keep a configured default model visible when the catalog no longer offers it. Sum the combined desktop download counter across both release repositories like the per-platform ones.

This PR was opened by the [Changesets release](https://github.com/changesets/action) GitHub action. When you're ready to do a release, you can merge this and the packages will be published to npm automatically. If you're not ready to do a release yet, that's fine, whenever you add more changesets to main, this PR will be updated. # Releases ## @pymodel/pythinker-code@0.21.0 ### Minor Changes - [#100](#100) [`cba1341`](cba1341) - Add server endpoints that list installed plugins, enable or disable one, and list subagent profiles, and let a named skill be turned off so it is hidden from the model, the slash menu and the API. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Report each model's real capabilities in the catalog. Until now `capabilities` carried only what a user had typed into their config file by hand, so for almost every model it was empty. It is now derived from the model itself when the config says nothing, while an explicit list in the config still wins. A provider whose capabilities are genuinely unknown keeps omitting the field rather than claiming the model can do nothing. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Prompt for desktop updates with a toast that offers install or skip, centre the settings button in the sidebar footer, and start a new session when the sidebar brand is clicked. - [#100](#100) [`cba1341`](cba1341) - Open the web settings inside the app shell instead of over it, and add pages for plugins, skills, subagents, connectors, hooks and usage statistics. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Make `agent_config.tools` and `agent_config.mcp_servers` reach the running agent. A session profile update now persists the selection, merges each field independently so supplying one half does not clear the other, resumes an inactive session before the mutation, and applies the result through a single `setActiveTools` call. MCP server names are turned into tool patterns with the shared naming helper, so a server whose name needs sanitizing still matches its tools. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Add a capability menu to the composer. It picks which tools and MCP servers the current session may use, lists the session's skills, and turns plugins on or off. Each group states how far its change reaches, because the three differ: tool and MCP changes apply to this session at once, skills are read-only here, and plugin changes are global to the daemon. Selected tools and servers appear as chips beside the composer controls. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Add OpenAI Codex sign-in to the web and desktop app. The provider dialog now offers "Sign in with ChatGPT" next to the API-key form: the server runs the OAuth exchange, writes the credentials, and reports only which model it selected. When port 1455 is taken, the dialog asks for the redirect URL instead. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Add starter suggestions to the empty conversation screen in the web UI. Each suggestion fills the composer for editing and does not send the message. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Add, edit, and remove your own MCP servers from the connectors page in the web UI; a new or edited server starts with your next session. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Add a Retry action to the last assistant reply and a copy button to user messages in the web UI. Retry asks for confirmation, then sends the original prompt again. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Point the web provider calls at routes that exist. Adding a provider now writes through `POST /config`, refreshing reads `GET /providers/{id}`, and a new `DELETE /providers/{provider_id}` route removes a provider together with the model aliases that referenced it. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Move the web tool picker out of the composer menu into a Tools page in settings, where the full list fits. Every tool stays on until you turn one off, and the selection still applies to the current session only. ### Patch Changes - [#121](#121) [`cb2ecdc`](cb2ecdc) - Say why the desktop app cannot start when another Pythinker server is already running. It now names the process, port and start time and offers Retry or Quit, in place of an exit code that explained nothing. Stopping the other server stays the user's choice. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Repaint the desktop chrome. The sidebar footer now carries a pill button, so Settings and the way back out of it match New Session and stay visible. The transcript reserves room for the floating work chips instead of letting them sit on the last line. Windows gets round window controls on the trailing edge, in place of the native caption buttons that could not be styled. - [#121](#121) [`cb2ecdc`](cb2ecdc) - Sign, notarize and staple the macOS disk image, so a downloaded desktop build no longer opens with a Gatekeeper warning, and keep the update metadata in step with the finished file. The install window also gets a deliberate icon layout in place of the stock one. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Keep provider and model ids exactly as you type them, open the ChatGPT sign-in window reliably, stop a second sign-in attempt from holding the callback port, hide provider errors behind a safe message, and finish writing the event journals during shutdown. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Keep provider and model ids exactly as written when a config patch is saved, so an id containing an underscore still resolves. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Stop the session snapshot request from timing out on busy sessions. Each recorded event no longer pays a fresh file open and close, the watermark is read without waiting for pending writes, and the session list is scanned in parallel, so opening or refreshing a session stays fast even with a long history. This was most visible on Windows, where the per-event file cost is highest. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Show the sign-in state, the provider, and the model as separate fields in the web settings account section, and label the button for what it opens. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Fix web capability and retry controls: the capability panel takes keyboard focus when it opens, Retry stays reachable with Tab, rapid capability toggles reach the daemon in order, and retrying a prompt keeps its attachments. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Widen the chat reading column to 928px and restyle the composer card: a 24px radius, a translucent blurred surface, a border that strengthens on hover and focus, and an input that grows to 384px before it scrolls. The toolbar controls are 30px circles with a divider after the attachment button. - [#122](#122) [`5f51b83`](5f51b83) - Lay the MCP server form out in even rows instead of a ragged grid, and stop the provider manager header and footer from squaring off the dialog corners. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Clean up the web composer capability control: the selected tools no longer render as chips in the toolbar, the button reads "Connectors", and the menu panel stays inside the window when its content loads. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Show model capabilities as badges in the model picker instead of a comma-separated string, and bring its rows and search field onto the app's row metrics, sized from `--ui-font-size` so the font-size setting still scales them. A model that reasons adaptively is now distinguishable from one that exposes an explicit thinking capability, and an unrecognised capability still renders rather than being dropped. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Make the web settings surface use the app design tokens: token corner radii, a theme-aware switch shadow, and control sizes that grow with the UI font size. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Quieten the sidebar session rows. Hover becomes a translucent wash instead of a solid fill, the selected row becomes a faint tint instead of a solid accent, and the radius and sizing match the shared menu row, so the row scales with the UI font-size setting. The same change is applied to the per-theme overrides, so all three themes agree. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Recover the web and desktop app when a session snapshot request fails. It is now retried with a growing delay instead of leaving the todo list and the sub-agent list frozen until a reload, and a failed task refresh reports itself rather than failing in silence. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Add four shared UI primitives to the web app: `Popover`, `MenuRow`, `SwitchToggle` and `Chip`. `Popover` holds the anchored-menu positioning that each menu used to write for itself, including the flip above the trigger and the viewport clamp. `MenuRow` carries the standard list row, sized from `--ui-font-size` so the font-size setting still scales it. All four style themselves only from theme tokens, and a guard test fails on any colour literal. - [#119](#119) [`0871533`](0871533) - Open the browser on Windows through `rundll32` instead of `cmd /c start`. `cmd` cut every URL at the first `&`, so OAuth logins reached the provider with only the first query parameter and failed with an invalid authorize request.

ci: count desktop downloads across both release repos

8355bbe

Installers shipped from pythinker-code through v0.1.0 and move to pythinker-desktop-releases from the next release on. Summing both repos keeps the counters continuous instead of resetting at the handover.
