Checksums

Sandbox compatibility: systemd user scope optional

• Launcher skips systemd-run --user --scope automatically when the systemd private socket ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/systemd/private) is missing or unreachable. Fixes a hard start failure in sandboxes (bwrap, distrobox, containers) where the binary exists but the socket is filtered. Contributed by @boommasterxd in #92. Fixes #89.
• --no-systemd-scope CLI flag and CLAUDE_DISABLE_SYSTEMD_SCOPE=1 env var for explicit opt-out when the socket exists but is unreachable (SELinux, bind-mount filters).
• --diagnose output now shows systemd user socket status.

Upstream update (v1.7196.0): 3 patch refreshes

• Version bump: v1.6608.2 → v1.7196.0
• 3 patches refreshed (contributed by @boommasterxd in #91):
  • fix_imagine_linux.nim — upstream extended the Visualize MCP server's isEnabled callback with an optional ccd session type gate (flag 2204227020). Patch now tries the new disjunction pattern first, falls back to the v1.6608 cowork-only pattern. Forces both cowork and ccd sessions enabled on Linux.
  • fix_cowork_first_bash.nim — upstream may rewrite the events-socket helper from an early-return guard to a Promise-based singleton. Added a second regex for the Promise.resolve() pattern. Falls back to the v1.6608 if(VAR)return pattern.
  • fix_dispatch_linux.nim — upstream added an optional telemetry call (D8(e,A),) before the flag return expression in pt(). Extended the regex with an optional non-capturing group (?:[\w$]+\([\w$,]+\),)?. Existing capture groups unchanged. Falls back to the v1.6608 pattern without telemetry.
• All other patches applied cleanly without modification
• No new features requiring Linux patches — no new platform gates, no new darwin/win32-only features
• Function renames (minification changes):
  • DoA→woA (async merger — reverted to v1.6608.0 name)
  • BrA()→lrA() (MCP registration — reverted to v1.6608.0 name)
  • QoA→BoA (computer-use Set)
  • xSA→FSA (MCP display labels)
  • I_ unchanged (MCP registry storage)
  • or (darwin), fn (win32), OiA (darwin||win32) — all unchanged
  • pw() (static registry), pt() (flag reader), Cm() (listener), OQ() (value reader), DT() (production gate), Gu (GrowthBook storage) — all unchanged
• wr() single-value flag reader removed — function no longer exists. pr() now handles all value/object flag reads with nested property access.
• GrowthBook flags: 60 boolean (pt()), 9 value/object (pr()), 5 listeners (Cm()), 10 multi-key (OQ()). No new or removed flags compared to v1.6608.2.
• MCP servers unchanged: Same 22 servers (3 renderer-facing, 14 backend, 4 dynamic per-session, 1 per-artifact). No new servers, no removed servers, no new tools.
• ion-dist SPA: 100 MB total, 632 JS chunks, 21 CSS files (unchanged). New .zst compressed variants of JS chunks added (704 total). org-plugins mountPath still lacks linux key — fix_ion_dist_linux.nim patch still required.
• All 45 patches pass, JS syntax validated via node --check
