The Desktop preload reports a picked file's real path through
__DSH_HOST_PATHS__. Where that bridge exists, the composer inserts a dropped,
picked, or pasted folder or non-image file as the same @path reference chip
the user could have typed, so nothing uploads and the model reads the target
with its file tools; images keep uploading. The drop handler names dropped
directories through the entry API, and a browser without the bridge refuses
a dropped folder with product copy instead of failing it as an upload.
removeLinkProjections unlinks the symlinks under a profile's node_modules whose target lies inside <profile>/.dsh-module-fallback/node_modules and then removes that directory; pnpm-installed packages and every other symlink stay. loadProfile and the Desktop applyRelease call it once per launch. Regression: with bundle A installed but deselected and bundle B selected, B's same-named plugin resolves instead of A's projected copy.
Remove cleanProfileCorePackages and migrateDesktopProfileLinks with their specs; applyRelease keeps runtime validation, settings migration, and profile creation. A regression pins that installed packages, declarations, legacy state, and the lockfile survive a launch.
Keeps both window-chrome features: this branch's macOS shell.leading seat,
single drag owner, and fullscreen sync alongside upstream's Windows desktop
titlebar (#4407). ipc.ts and preload-app.ts merge both platforms' channels
and preload wiring; Tooltip merges upstream's suppression context with this
branch's pointer-focus suppression; slot-catalog regenerated.
One 52px leadingBand in the AppFrame (frame's first child) plus the sidebar
logoRow are the only -webkit-app-region drag surfaces; everything interactive
subtracts itself through two global base.css rules (interactive elements and
body > :not(#root) overlay portals), so header controls, breadcrumb chips, and
strip tabs stay clickable under the band. A ui-theme stylesheet gate pins the
two-file drag allowlist. The frame publishes --dsh-frame-top-clearance (48px)
for entry pages (plugin manager list and detail) beside the existing
--dsh-frame-leading-clearance, replacing per-page hardcoded insets. The
shell.leading window-chrome seat moves the collapsed-sidebar reopen controls
from the conversation header to the frame. Sidebar vibrancy tint drops the
blue cast in dark mode and halves its fill opacity, light mode softens the
blue mix, and the logo row tightens 4px above New Session.
