Checksums

Changes since last release

Upstream (v1.11187.4)

• Version bump: v1.10628.2 -> v1.11187.4 (~560 builds). Full re-minify - every minified identifier shifted. Two patches needed regex updates because upstream restructured the code (not just renamed variables); the other 46 patches absorbed the renames via their [\w$]+ wildcards.

Patches fixed (2)

• fix_utility_process_kill.nim - upstream inserted a r&&this.noteKillOnce(), statement between .kill() and the \Killing utiltiy proccess again`log call. Old regex required.kill();[\w$]+.info(`Killing...immediately adjacent. New regex tolerates a short run of intervening statements: group 3 is now;[^\`]{0,80}.info(`Killing utiltiy proccess again. Patched result: n.kill("SIGKILL");r&&this.noteKillOnce(),D.info(...)`.
• fix_asar_folder_drop.nim (Patch B, second-instance argv parser) - the .slice(1).filter(...) was hoisted into a local var, so the loop changed from for(const X of Y.slice(1))if(!Z(X)) to for(const X of <var>)if(!Z(X)). Rewrote the regex to drop the hardcoded .slice(1) and anchor on the trailing "skill file" arg for uniqueness (exactly one such loop in the bundle). Patch A (noe file-drop filter) was unaffected. Patched result: for(const n of r)if(!/\.asar/.test(n)&&!VXr(n)){....

No other patch changes needed

• All 48 patches apply - package built as claude-desktop-bin-1.11187.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst; node --check passed on the patched JS.

Semantic verification (not just regex-match)

Traced the raw unpatched upstream code around every changed site and the 14 highest-stakes structural patches to confirm intent still holds after the re-minify (a matching regex alone doesn't prove the surrounding logic is unchanged):

• fix_utility_process_kill - the function has two .kill() calls (first SIGTERM via const i=this.process.kill(), 5s fallback via const r=(n=this.process)==null?void 0:n.kill()). Confirmed our regex matches only the fallback (distinct syntactic form), so the first kill stays graceful SIGTERM and only the timeout escalates to SIGKILL. The new noteKillOnce() is logging-only and is preserved. Semantics intact.
• fix_asar_folder_drop - upstream refactored jXr() and added a new pre-filter A.slice(1).filter(n=>n.startsWith("-")||resolve(n)!==appPath). Verified this does NOT make our guard redundant: upstream only drops the single arg whose resolved path exactly equals getAppPath(), whereas our !/\.asar/.test(n) rejects any .asar path (covers symlinked/non-canonical paths and the case where getAppPath() returns the unpacked app dir). Our guard sits in the loop condition before the existsSync(n)->e.push(n)->wQA(e) dispatch, so a .asar arg never reaches the file-drop handler. Still correct defense-in-depth.
• 14 highest-stakes patches verified SOLID against raw upstream: enable_local_agent_mode (25 sub-patches; merger override {...Dw(),louderPenguin:A,...} is authoritative), fix_dispatch_linux, fix_cowork_linux (10 sub-patches), fix_computer_use_linux, fix_tray_dbus, fix_quick_entry_position, fix_native_frame(+renderer), fix_window_bounds, fix_locale_paths, fix_marketplace_linux, fix_startup_settings, fix_updater_state_linux, fix_vm_session_handlers, fix_sensitive_dirs_linux. Every anchor lands in a semantically correct location.
• Stale comment fixed: enable_local_agent_mode Patch 1 comment claimed it ungates chillingSlothFeat + quietPenguin; in v1.11187.4 chillingSlothFeat moved to the non-platform oW gate, so only quietPenguin (WEr) matches here now. Behavior unchanged (Patch 1 already accepts >=1 matches and Patch 3's merger force-overrides every feature regardless) - updated the comments + the 2-match log label to be version-agnostic.
• Noted, not changed: fix_locale_paths still does a global replace of all process.resourcesPath sites - a long-standing over-broad approach (not a v1.11187.4 regression); the affected non-locale paths are win32/darwin-gated and not exercised on Linux.

Audit findings

• Feature flags: no enable_local_agent_mode.nim override changes needed (all 25 sub-patches still match; merger return {...Dw(),louderPenguin:A,coworkKappa:e,coworkArtifacts:t,markTaskComplete:i} intact). 1 new static feature coworkArtifactPopout:_d (always supported, no platform gate, no override needed); bootstrapConfig changed from MS()-gated to bare _d. Function renames: registry Aw()->Dw(), async merger LCA->SBA, dev-gate Dm()->MS() (2nd gate xEr() for builtinMcpPresets), GrowthBook bool reader It()->lt(), supported constant Xd->_d, electron var aA->sA, louderPenguin async helper Fsr()->XEr() (still darwin||win32 gate, now also reads flag 4116586025), cowork helper pRA()->mNA(). GrowthBook delta (vs v1.9659.4 baseline, the only local prior bundle): 5 added (124685897 template-subst, 1323782925 APe qualifier, 1609612026 marketplace install, 2720310975 side-chat tools, 790863764 device_bash), 1 removed (3638165567).
• Built-in MCP: no servers added/removed - identical roster (imagine/visualize/marketplace/skills/radar/echo/Framebuffer/Window Halo, etc.). Registration fn renamed jHA->uqA (registry obj sT, label map cUA, enumerator b3()). node-pty 1.1.0-beta34 unchanged.
• Cowork protocol: unchanged - control_request 14, control_response 46, sessions-bridge 3, environments/bridge 1, work/poll 1, all identical to baseline; 20 CoworkArtifacts_$_* IPC handlers byte-for-byte identical (the +8 raw CoworkArtifacts occurrences are new log strings, not protocol). claude-cowork-service is NOT affected by this release.
• ion-dist (3P config SPA): still required, applies cleanly. 92 MB / 706 JS / 950 files / 23 CSS (up from 90 MB / 691 JS / 909 files / 21 CSS - modest growth, no structural refactor). Config chunk c71860c77-CV0D52ti.js -> c71860c77-CyMvMS7K.js (content-hash bump). mountPath still mac/win-only (no linux key, not upstreamed); platform ternary vars this release K/C/pt. Both sub-patterns matched; verified the compiled patch applies (exit 0, 2/2).
• Platform gates: darwin 65->72 (+7), win32 113->122 (+9), linux 5 (unchanged). All new gates classify as NATIVE (path NFC normalization, updater channel msix/squirrel, dock bounce, Mission Control, TouchID, codesign verify, plist/registry reads, endpoint-security SIGKILL classification, dev-only chrome://inspect launcher) or STUB/config-gated (chat features gated by config flag, not process.platform). No new PORTABLE (Linux-actionable) gate. The louderPenguin Code-tab gate became async (XEr() + flag 4116586025) but remains PATCHED via the existing override.
