Checksums

Changes since last release

Added

• Custom Themes (Experimental) — New add_feature_custom_themes.py patch: inject CSS variable overrides into all windows (main chat, Quick Entry, Find-in-Page, About) via Electron's insertCSS() API. Ships 6 built-in themes (sweet, nord, catppuccin-mocha, catppuccin-frappe, catppuccin-latte, catppuccin-macchiato). Configure via ~/.config/Claude/claude-desktop-bin.json.
• themes/ — Community theme directory with ready-to-use JSON configs, screenshots, CSS variable reference (css-documentation.html), and README.md documenting how to extract app HTML/CSS for theme creation
• Full-window theming — Quick Entry gradient, prose/typography (--tw-prose-*), --always-black/white shadows, checkbox accents, title bar text now all follow the active theme

Changed

• CLAUDE_FEATURE_FLAGS.md — Comprehensive update for v1.1.7714: new yukonSilverGemsCache feature (15 total), complete GrowthBook flag catalog (34 boolean + 9 object/value + 3 listener flags), function renames (fp/cN/r1e/xq), version history table updated

Added

• fix_quick_entry_position.py — Two new sub-patches for v1.1.7714:
  • Patch 3: Override position-save/restore (T7t()) to always use cursor's display (short-circuits saved position check)
  • Patch 4: Fix show/positioning + focus on Linux — pure Electron APIs, no external dependencies

Fixed

• fix_quick_entry_position.py (Patches 1 & 2) — Fix stale cursor position on Linux: Electron.screen.getCursorScreenPoint() only updates when the cursor passes over an Electron-owned window, causing Quick Entry to always open on the app's monitor. Now uses xdotool getmouselocation (X11/XWayland) → hyprctl cursorpos (Hyprland/Wayland) → Electron API as defensive fallback chain. Both tools are optional — graceful degradation if unavailable.
• Packaging — Added xdotool as optional dependency across all formats (AUR optdepends, Debian Suggests, RPM Suggests, Nix optional input with PATH wiring)
• fix_quick_entry_position.py (Patch 4) — Complete rewrite of Linux Quick Entry positioning and focus:
  • Positioning: setBounds() before + after show() with retries at 50/150ms to counter X11 WM smart-placement. Works on X11, XWayland, and best-effort on native Wayland.
  • Focus: Three-layer focus chain — focus() (OS window) → webContents.focus() (renderer) → executeJavaScript to focus #prompt-input DOM element (only auto-focuses on initial page load, not on hide/show cycle).
  • Previously the Quick Entry would always open on Claude Desktop's monitor after interacting with the app, making it unusable in multi-monitor setups.
• CLAUDE_BUILT_IN_MCP.md — New documentation: built-in MCP server reference
• docs/ — Screenshots directory

Fixed

• fix_dispatch_linux.py — Fix sessions-bridge logger variable pattern: hardcoded T → \w+ wildcard (logger renamed T→C in v1.1.7714)
• fix_cowork_spaces.py — Fix createSpaceFolder API: takes (parentPath, folderName) not (spaceId, folderName); adds duplicate folder name dedup with numeric suffix
• enable_local_agent_mode.py — Promote platform spoof patches from WARN to FAIL (patches 5, 5b, 6, 7 are now required — if they don't match, the build should fail)
• fix_utility_process_kill.py — Promote from WARN/pass to FAIL (exit 1 on 0 matches so CI catches pattern changes)

Removed

• computer-use-server.js — Linux Computer Use MCP server removed (upstream removed computer-use-server.js from app root in v1.1.7714; existsSync guard fails at runtime, server never registers)
• fix_computer_use_linux.py — Computer Use registration patch removed (no server file to register)
• PKGBUILD — Removed xdotool and scrot optional dependencies (no longer needed without Computer Use)

Improved

• scripts/build-local.sh — Auto-download latest exe with version comparison: queries version API first, skips download if local exe matches latest, saves downloaded exe for future builds
