What

Two UI alignment fixes reported from the running preview.

MCP server form (Settings → Connectors). The field grid used auto-fit with a 180px minimum, so on a wide settings pane the five fields packed four to a row, put short inputs next to taller textareas, and left the final row with three empty columns. Name and Transport now share the first row; Command, Arguments, Environment (and URL/Headers for http/sse) each span both columns. The grid is capped at 640px so the inputs stop stretching across the whole pane.

Provider manager dialog. The dialog rounded its border but never clipped its children, so the header background, the footer, and the list scrollbar all painted square corners over the rounding. The footer had worked around this with its own border-radius; clipping at the dialog fixes all three and the workaround is gone.

Tests

  • connectors-page.test.ts asserts exactly which fields are narrow and which span the row.
  • provider-manager-chrome.test.ts asserts the dialog clips and that the footer no longer carries its own rounding (jsdom applies no scoped SFC styles, so the rule is the contract).

Both were mutation-checked: reverting either fix fails its test.

Verification

  • pnpm run typecheck — exit 0
  • npx vitest run apps/pythinker-web — 70 files / 448 tests pass
  • pnpm run lint — exit 0, zero errors
  • Checked in the browser against a fresh build on the local preview server

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • UI Improvements

    • Improved MCP server form layout with clearer two-column alignment for name and transport fields.
    • Expanded longer fields across the available width.
    • Added responsive behavior for smaller screens.
    • Refined provider manager dialogs with consistent rounded corners and cleaner content clipping.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for connector form layout and provider manager dialog styling.

The form used an auto-fit grid, so on a wide pane the five fields packed four
to a row, mixed short inputs with taller textareas, and left the last row three
columns empty. Name and Transport now share the first row and every longer field
spans both columns, with the grid capped so the inputs stop stretching.

The provider dialog rounded its border but did not clip its children, so the
header background, the footer, and the list scrollbar painted square over the
top corners. The footer worked around this with its own radius; clipping at the
dialog covers all three.

Connector UI updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
MCP form layout
apps/pythinker-web/src/components/settings/McpServerForm.vue, apps/pythinker-web/test/connectors-page.test.ts, .changeset/web-connectors-form-and-dialog-corners.md
The form uses a capped two-column layout. Command, arguments, environment, URL, and headers span both columns. The layout switches to one column at widths up to 640px. Tests verify the field arrangement.
Provider dialog corner styling
apps/pythinker-web/src/components/ProviderManager.vue, apps/pythinker-web/test/provider-manager-chrome.test.ts
The dialog clips overflowing content within its rounded boundary. The footer no longer defines its own bottom-corner radius. Tests verify both CSS changes.

The layout test only checked the stdio branch, so a regression in the URL or
Headers span could pass. It now asserts both branches. The three CSS assertions
also carry the u flag the repo uses everywhere else.

Both inline findings are fixed in aeddc90 and their threads are resolved:

  • Non-stdio layout branch — the layout test now switches the transport to http and asserts that branch too (Name/Transport narrow, URL and Headers (JSON) wide). Mutation-checked: dropping the wide class from the URL field fails it.
  • Unicode regex flag — all three regexes carry u. oxlint --type-aware on both files is silent now.

Docstring Coverage (0.00% vs the 80% threshold) — not changed. This is advisory here rather than a repo gate: none of the six required checks measures it, and the sibling web tests set the convention the other way (design-tokens.test.ts and sidebar.test.ts carry zero JSDoc blocks; composer.test.ts has two across four helpers). Both files I touched already explain their intent in prose comments — including why the CSS rule text is the contract under test, since jsdom applies no scoped SFC styles. Adding JSDoc to two test helpers to satisfy a percentage would not make either file clearer.

Gates on this head: pnpm run typecheck exit 0; npx vitest run 721 files / 10524 tests pass, exit 0; pnpm run lint exit 0 with zero errors.

# 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.
