fix(computer-use): harden recovery and document backend setup

The driver had no way to see what the computer user actually did, and
no way to recover either tier when it degraded: helper turns ended
without reports, and backend deaths needed a human at the console.
This adds three driver tools plus helper prompt rules that keep
creative automation inside the current task.

- computer_user_transcript: in-process ring buffer teed off the same
  reduction the observatory journal uses, so peeking works even while
  the backend is down, and pages via sinceSeq.
- computer_user_restart: transition-serialized abort + stop + reset to
  uninitialized; stale run settlements stay ignored by state-kind check.
- computer_user_restart_backend: probes first, launches the configured
  CLINE_COMPUTER_USE_BACKEND_COMMAND only when down, and only ever kills
  a backend it spawned itself.
- Helper prompt v2: latest driver instructions supersede earlier
  briefings; stand down when told; report backend failures via
  ask_driver instead of repairing infrastructure; shell tools remain
  sanctioned for what the computer tool cannot express.

-The Hub transport forwards the serializable `ExtensionContext.client` and

-process-owned service with `createClientScopedTelemetryService()` so lifecycle events use the
-originating client's `cline_type`, platform/version, and current account/organization without

-`user_id` / `organization_id` on task events.
-
 Flag changes that remove this wiring, construct runtime hosts inside the daemon without
 passing its telemetry handle, or add daemon exit paths that skip the flush — hub-backed
 sessions would silently drop their lifecycle telemetry (this exact bug shipped once).

 # Cline Desktop Changelog
 
-## 0.0.26
-
-- The composer now shows the current branch's GitHub pull request — PR number, merge status, changed-line totals, and CI checks. Click through to open it in your browser, or expand CI to inspect individual checks and their logs; status refreshes every 30 seconds while visible, on window focus, and on demand. If the branch has no PR, **Create PR** opens GitHub's comparison form. Requires the GitHub CLI (`gh`) installed and signed in, plus a GitHub.com `origin` remote; the row hides itself on the default branch, detached HEAD, and unsupported repositories. Cline does not push commits or submit the PR for you
-- The Customize view's Tools, Skills, and Rules tabs now read as one consistent list instead of three different ones, matching the pattern Plugins already used. Tools gets a search bar that filters both sections and per-section Enable all/Disable all that only touches what's visible; Skills gets an in-place enable/disable toggle — previously the desktop app had no concept of a disabled skill, so disabled ones were hidden and unreachable — and the same Copy path / Uninstall menu Plugins use. Tabs are reordered to Tools, Plugins, Skills, Rules, MCP, Hooks and open on Tools, and the sidebar's "New Task" button is now "New Session"
-- Deleting a queued prompt no longer leaves it in the transcript as a message that never ran. The sidecar inferred a queued prompt had started whenever the pending list shrank and its head changed — which is exactly what deleting the first queued prompt (or discarding the queue) looks like. It now relies only on the runtime's real start event
-- A session forked from a checkpoint restore no longer comes back stuck on "Thinking...". Sessions that materialize with seeded history never passed their status when persisting, so the row and manifest were written as "running" while the live session was idle; resuming from that manifest then showed a session that was never going to finish
-- Sending an image with no text no longer fails with "session input requires a prompt string" — the composer asks for a message instead of letting the request through to a backend that rejects it
-- Image attachments in formats the model pipeline can't read (HEIC, TIFF, SVG, BMP, ICO, and friends) are now rejected at attach time — by picker, paste, or drag-and-drop — instead of failing later in the turn. Files whose type has to be inferred from the extension are classified the same way
-- Signing out of ChatGPT (Codex) now sticks. Sign-out removes the provider entry, but the runtime re-imports any missing provider from the classic extension's stored credentials on every command, so the next action signed you straight back in. The legacy Codex credentials are now cleared too, and a failed clear reports the sign-out as failed instead of quietly succeeding
-- Auth failures on providers that log in through a local CLI — Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode — now point you at that CLI instead of Settings → Models, where there is nothing to fix. "OAuth session expired", "Not logged in · Please run /login", and similar messages are also recognized as credential failures now, so they get a hint at all
-- Model lists now refresh from the live catalog for every provider that uses the shared catalog, not just Cline and Cline Pass. Providers with their own endpoint-owned model lists are unaffected, and the first providers listing is still network-free
-- Cline Pass and free models now report zero cost instead of the upstream provider's price
-- Session history rows no longer overlap their own hover metadata when a label is wider than the fixed label column
-- Scheduled sessions no longer stall out. The poller could stop advancing, and capacity waits were counted as run attempts, so a schedule could burn through its retries without ever running. Execution lifecycle and capacity claims are now fenced atomically. New recurring schedules also default to your local timezone instead of UTC; existing schedules without a timezone keep it that way when edited
-- Automation event acceptance is now atomic and retryable, so an event can't be half-accepted and lost if delivery fails mid-way
-- Nested PowerShell commands no longer flood errors and look like a hang. Commands run through an outer PowerShell bootstrap, so a nested `powershell -Command "... $_ ..."` had `$_` interpolated away by the outer parser before the inner shell saw it — a `Where-Object { $_.Name ... }` pipeline then errored once per item over a large tree while still exiting 0. Redundant nested invocations are now unwrapped and run directly, only when that provably preserves semantics (same PowerShell edition, no profile loading, fully quoted command). Cline is also told which edition it's actually on — Windows PowerShell vs. Microsoft PowerShell — and to stop wrapping commands in a shell it's already running in
-- Prompt telemetry to Cline's tracing backend is now limited to Cline and Cline Pass requests. Turns run against your own provider keys are not traced
-- Cline Pass now appears in the composer's provider picker alongside Cline. One Cline sign-in configures both — Cline Pass stores its credentials under the Cline account rather than having its own — but the picker only listed providers with their own saved settings entry, and onboarding writes just the Cline one. A new Cline Pass user therefore saw a single row
-- The composer's provider picker has a **Set up another provider** row at the bottom that opens Settings → Models. The picker only lists what you have already configured, so there was no way to reach the rest of the catalog from the composer
-- Dropped the "Configured" checkmark from the composer's provider picker (added in 0.0.25). Every row in that picker has a saved settings entry, so for anyone who set their providers up in the app every row carried the same green check and it read as decoration. Settings is still where provider readiness is shown, and it distinguishes a real credential from an entry a legacy migration left behind

-- ChatGPT Subscription (Codex) now lists only the models your plan can actually use. Two separate paths filled the picker from the shared OpenAI catalog, so GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, and `chatgpt-image-latest` showed up alongside the Codex models, and the runtime lost the Codex context caps. The model rules also match what the backend now accepts: `gpt-5.4` and `gpt-5.4-mini` were retired for ChatGPT accounts on 2026-08-31 and are gone, the default moves to `gpt-5.6-terra`, and every Codex model is capped at the real 400K/272K/128K backend budget instead of inheriting the API's 1.05M limits
-- Windows updates no longer fail with "Error opening file for writing". The compiled sidecar re-executes itself as the detached Cline Hub daemon, which outlives the app by design, and Tauri's NSIS installer only kills the main binary — so the daemon still held `code-sidecar.exe` and the install stopped until you killed the process by hand. The installer now stops it first, matched on the full path so updating one channel does not take down a side-by-side Cline Beta's sessions
-- Your prompt is no longer lost when a send fails before the turn starts — switching to Codex and having the OAuth refresh throw, for instance. The runtime never took the prompt, so post-send hydration wiped the optimistic bubble and you had to retype it. The text and attachments now come back to the composer, merged with anything you attached while the send was pending, and left alone if you have already started typing something else
-- Providers that authenticate through a local CLI — Claude Code, Codex CLI — can now start sessions without an API key. They showed as Configured in Settings via their local-auth capability, but session start still refused them with "Missing API key"
-- OpenCode is now treated as a local CLI provider rather than an OAuth one, so it shows the local CLI notice instead of a browser sign-in button that could not do anything. It authenticates from the credentials the opencode CLI itself stores
-- Session import from Claude Code, Codex, and opencode has its own page in Settings instead of a row buried in General
-- The composer's provider picker now marks which providers you have already configured
-- The model picker distinguishes models that share a name, and Cline Pass subscription models are listed separately from the free fallback tier
-- Published DMGs use the intended window layout and background again. Tauri skips the Finder AppleScript that applies them whenever `CI` is set, which GitHub Actions always sets, so every DMG since the artwork landed shipped with a stock Finder window even though the artwork was generated and validated
-- Cline's recommended, free, and subscribed model lists now ship with the app, so they are correct at first launch instead of waiting on a live catalog fetch
-- Refreshed the model catalog. Adds NaN (nan.builders) and changes the resolved default model for 36 providers — including Bedrock, Vertex, OpenRouter, Kilo, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Cerebras, Fireworks, Requesty, and Vercel AI Gateway. Several move off Claude Fable 5.1 to GPT-6 Astra, Vertex goes to Gemini 3.8 Flash, and OpenRouter/Kilo to Inception Mercury 2.5. If you use one of those without pinning a model, expect a different default

-- Fixed the live chat stream doubling text and dropping messages mid-turn. The sidecar has two Hub sockets that both receive a session's events — ClineCore's own client and the observer client — and a session that streams without a local send first (a run already in flight when you open the task, a resumed run, a scheduled run) had every delta rendered twice. The observer's copy is now skipped whenever ClineCore is subscribed to the session, asked directly rather than inferred from a timer, so long commands, slow first tokens, and unanswered tool approvals cannot let a duplicate slip through ahead of the core copy. Separately, when the sidecar was replaced under a live webview (crash-respawn, Hub drain-and-replace, stale-sidecar swap) its stream counter restarted at 1 and the webview silently discarded everything until the new process counted past the old run — this dropped your own message bubbles and tool rows, not just assistant text, which is why rows appeared to vanish mid-turn and come back afterwards
-- Fixed a queued prompt's own message vanishing from the chat. When you queue a prompt behind a running turn, the runtime drains the queue just before it answers the previous send, so the previous turn's completion path replaced the whole transcript from a canonical read that predated your queued message — erasing your bubble and leaving the reply streaming in under no user message. That path now defers to the newer turn instead of treating the transcript as its own. Two symptoms rode on the same bug: the composer no longer drops out of its busy state while the queued reply is still pending, and a finished reasoning row now reads "Thought for Ns" instead of a stuck "Thinking" — live rows are stamped on the webview's clock, so a sidecar whose clock trails it (a remote Hub, the browser-dev setup) no longer produces a negative duration that gets dropped
-- Cline no longer stops silently mid-task when a model gets stuck repeating itself. The loop detector stops a run after 5 identical tool calls and the mistake tracker after 6 consecutive failures, but the desktop never registered a decision callback, so the run just ended and the composer went idle with no message. You are now asked how to continue — "Try a different approach" or "Stop this run" — and the guidance is steered into the running turn so the model knows why it was paused instead of repeating the same call
-- The `editor` tool's error message now names the file, says whether `old_text` was null or omitted, and states how to recover. Models that fill optional parameters with null (seen with kimi-k3) hit a terse "old_text is required" and re-sent the identical call until the loop detector stopped the run
-- Fixed your Cline Pass model selection being replaced when you start a new chat. Catalogs are discovery data, not validation — the bundled catalog can omit live Cline Pass models and refreshes can return partial lists, so a model missing from the catalog was treated as invalid and silently swapped for a default
-- Cline Desktop now has a custom title bar on Windows, with caption controls that follow the compact title-bar height in narrow windows and stay above overlays. The Windows taskbar icon was also updated
-- Token counts and costs now fill in for every session you can see. The sessions view only ever hydrated the four most recent rows, so every other row showed "-" and paging never asked for more; the visible page is now hydrated on demand, with reads capped and re-run when a session's status changes underneath them
-- Sessions imported from Claude Code, Codex, and opencode now say so in the chat, and their foreign history is summarized on the first resumed turn. Imported transcripts keep the source tool's own tool names and schemas, which a model continuing them may try to call — the summary runs once, the original transcript stays intact, and the "Thinking..." indicator reads "Summarizing the imported <tool> history..." while it happens
-- Fixed session history rendering empty when one session had many subagent or team-task children. Child rows always sort after the root that spawned them, so a single busy session could hide itself and every older session from the sidebar with no way to load more
-- Checkpoints no longer re-hash every untracked file before each message. Checkpoint creation rebuilt a throwaway git index each turn, so multi-GB untracked data blocked every message for seconds to minutes (~90s in one report on a cloud-synced Windows workspace). One snapshot index is now kept per session, so from the second turn the cost is roughly git process overhead. Snapshot contents are byte-identical to before
-- Commands that background a child process (`cmd &`, `nohup`, and the same from Git Bash) no longer hang until the timeout. The inherited stdio pipes stay open after the shell exits, so the completion event never arrived even though the command was done; these now settle with the real exit code and a note that background output is no longer captured
-- Typing an `@` mention from your home directory no longer indexes your entire home folder. That could take memory into the gigabytes and get the process killed; the home directory and filesystem root are now skipped entirely
-- Web search is now enabled by default outside YOLO mode, and tool settings fail closed if they cannot be loaded
-- Claude Code no longer asks for an API key it never reads. It authenticates from the local `claude` CLI's own credential store, but was reported as an API-key provider, so a keyless entry was refused and the workaround was to save a dummy key
-- Pasted credentials with invisible characters no longer persist corrupted. A BOM or zero-width character carried in from a copy-paste produced 401s indistinguishable from a wrong key; credential fields are now stripped of control and format characters on save
-- Starting a new task no longer flickers through the idle state. The Hub publishes the new session's record as "idle" while the start request is still in flight, so the composer placeholder and the request indicator switched to idle and back for a frame on every new task. A transient idle arriving during a submission is now held back; a real failure or abort still applies immediately
-- The model picker keeps section headers visible while you search. Cline Pass lists the same model in both the Subscribed and Free tiers, so flattening the sections during search produced two identical-looking rows
-- `apply_patch` "Add File" now refuses to overwrite an existing file instead of silently replacing it
-- Fixed session import paths resolving incorrectly on Windows
-- The desktop backend now starts off the command path, so startup no longer blocks the UI
-- The SDK can now connect to authenticated remote Hubs

-- Agent Plugins are now discovered and run by the shared Hub. Packages under `~/.agents/plugins` are validated from their `plugin.json`, their valid Agent Skills become available to the agent, and their stdio / Streamable HTTP / SSE MCP servers start automatically. Settings → Customize lists Agent Plugins separately from Cline Plugins, with each plugin's description, badge, and contributed tools, and enable/disable is Hub-managed per plugin. Workspace `.agents/plugins` directories are intentionally ignored
-- The "Cline Hub was updated" dialog no longer appears on every launch and reconnect. The app no longer prompts about a Hub running the same core version it does — a desktop and CLI release cut from different commits bundle the same core but never share a build fingerprint, so anyone with both installed got a dialog whose "Update and restart" looped on "no app update available". The build-mismatch dialog now also waits until an app update is actually staged, and "Later" sticks across session switches, reloads, and relaunches instead of resurfacing every time. A Hub the app genuinely cannot talk to still warns every time
-- Signing in now shows the device confirmation code in the app while you wait on the browser, so you can match it against the code the browser asks you to confirm — in onboarding, Account settings, and the provider list
-- Voice input failures caused by provider setup — missing credentials, transcription config — now take you straight to voice settings instead of a toast you cannot act on. Genuine microphone permission failures still toast, with a clearer message
-- Fixed the scheduled-task report vanishing when a finished run's step collapsed
-- Fixed one wedged MCP server blocking the rest from shutting down, leaking their processes

 - Import your history from Claude Code, Codex, and opencode. An Import button in the Sessions header (and a row in Settings → General) scans your local stores from all three tools and turns the conversations you pick into fully resumable Cline sessions. Sessions are grouped per tool with select-all and a search across title, folder, and first prompt; already-imported ones are shown as such so re-opening the dialog is safe. Imported sessions resume on your configured provider and model, not the source tool's. If you have history from any of these tools, onboarding now offers the import as a step

-The composer shows the current branch's GitHub pull request, merge status,
-changed-line totals, and CI checks. Click the PR number to open it in your
-browser, or expand CI to inspect individual checks and their logs. Status
-refreshes every 30 seconds while visible, when the app regains focus, and
-when you click refresh.

-This requires GitHub CLI (`gh`) installed and authenticated with `gh auth login`,
-and a GitHub.com `origin` remote (HTTPS or SSH). The row is hidden for the
-default branch, detached HEAD, and unsupported repositories. If the branch
-has no PR, **Create PR** opens GitHub's comparison form; push your commits
-before submitting the form. The app does not push commits or submit PRs itself.

-Missing or unauthenticated GitHub CLI also hides the row. Availability checks
-are shared across workspaces and cached for five minutes, so unavailable CLI
-installs do not spawn a failing process on every poll or window focus. After
-installing or signing into `gh`, the feature becomes available on the first
-refresh after the cache expires (or after restarting the desktop backend).
-Initial lookup failures stay hidden. Errors after a successful status load
-can be dismissed and remain dismissed through retries until a load succeeds.

-### Pull request telemetry
-
-These events use the desktop telemetry service and respect telemetry opt-out:
-
-| Event | Trigger |
-| --- | --- |
-| `desktop.pull_request.shown` | First visible PR/create row per mounted workspace and branch |
-| `desktop.pull_request.open_clicked` | Click the PR link |
-| `desktop.pull_request.create_clicked` | Click Create PR (intent only, not PR submission) |
-| `desktop.pull_request.checks_expanded` | Open the CI popover |
-| `desktop.pull_request.check_clicked` | Click a check's details link |
-| `desktop.pull_request.refresh_clicked` | Click manual refresh |
-
-Each event contains only `prState`, `ciState`, and `mergeTone` categories.
-The sidecar validates these values and strips extra fields. Repository/branch
-names, paths, PR numbers/titles, check names, and URLs are not included.
-Automatic polling does not emit additional impressions. Telemetry delivery
-does not block interactions, and failures do not interrupt the feature.
