Checksums

Changes since last release

• Fix: "Start at login" toggle now works on Linux (#60, #61). The previous patch disabled startup settings entirely on Linux (always returned false, write was a no-op). Replaced with proper XDG autostart management: creates/removes ~/.config/autostart/com.anthropic.claude-desktop.desktop with Exec=claude-desktop --startup so the app starts hidden in tray. The toggle now correctly reflects actual autostart state. — contributed by @boommasterxd

• Fix: Third-Party Inference configuration now works on Linux (#57). The ion-dist/ web frontend (85MB, 842 files) was missing from the package — the app:// protocol handler had nothing to serve. Main process code is already Linux-compatible; the SPA needed minor patching (see below).

• New patch: fix_ion_dist_linux.nim — patches the ion-dist 3P configuration SPA for Linux:

  • Adds Linux org-plugins mount path (/etc/claude-desktop/org-plugins) — upstream only has macOS and Windows paths, so on Linux it showed the macOS path
  • Fixes mount-path display component to use the Linux path when platform === "linux" instead of falling back to macOS
  • Dynamically finds the target JS file (content-hashed filename changes every upstream release)

• Updated: fix_vm_session_handlers.nim — extended IPC error suppression to also cover LocalSessions and QuickEntry handlers (in addition to existing ClaudeVM and LocalAgentModeSessions)

• Build: future-proof resource copying — replaced individual cp commands for locales, tray icons, claude-ssh, and cowork-plugin-shim with a bulk copy of all upstream resources to locales/. Windows-only files (.exe, .dll, .vhdx, .ico) are excluded. New resources Anthropic adds in future releases will be automatically included.

• Build: ion-dist post-copy patching — new build step applies fix_ion_dist_linux to ion-dist after resource copy, with graceful skip if ion-dist or the patch binary is unavailable

• Newly bundled resources: ion-dist/ (web frontend), fonts/, drizzle/ (DB migrations), seed/, claude-screen*.png

• Fix: Custom theme chatFont override now applies to user-sent messages (not just Claude responses). Added [data-user-message-bubble] selectors to both the main theme injection and the cowork font fix.

• Fix: generate-pkgbuild.sh caches the Electron version in build/.electron-version to avoid GitHub API rate limits on repeated builds. Delete the cache file to force a re-fetch.

• Fix: CI deploy-rpm-repo job failed because .deb/.rpm packages (~129MB each) exceed GitHub's 100MB git file size limit. Switched from git push --force to artifact-based Pages deployment (actions/upload-pages-artifact + actions/deploy-pages), which supports up to 10GB. No URL or user-facing changes — APT/RPM repos work exactly as before.

• Docs: Removed --install from CLAUDE.md build examples.
