Checksums

Changes since last release

Upstream (v1.8089.1)

• Version bump: v1.8089.0 -> v1.8089.1
• All patches applied cleanly - zero failures, no regex changes needed
• New upstream: musl/glibc detection (bKi() function) - Linux improvement: properly detects musl vs glibc runtime for claude-agent-sdk binary selection
• New upstream: getRunningLocalSessions IPC handler - auto-updater checks for running cowork/dispatch sessions before applying updates
• New upstream strings: OIDC federation env vars (ANTHROPIC_IDENTITY_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_FEDERATION_RULE_ID, etc.), device attestation statuses, "claude-mythos-preview" model reference, CLAUDE_CODE_USE_COWORK_PLUGINS env var, ccRemoteControlDefaultEnabled preference
• ion-dist SPA: code unchanged from v1.8089.0 - only change is removal of 704 .zst compressed file variants
• sqlite-worker removed from upstream build
• Renderer assets deduplicated (build tooling cleanup)
• Feature flags: identical to v1.8089.0 - same 25 features, same function names (eD, UcA, Nb, St, AS), same 60 boolean + 5 listener GrowthBook flags
• No new platform gates blocking Linux

Integrated titlebar on Linux

• Linux now uses the Windows-style integrated titlebar (frame:false + titleBarOverlay themed via Anthropic's own background helper, theme-aware) instead of the native frame. Opt out with CLAUDE_NATIVE_TITLEBAR=1 or the launcher flag --native-titlebar. Quick Entry is unaffected.
• New patches: fix_native_frame.nim (main process, conditional window options + theme-update gate + opaque overlay color in integrated mode) and fix_native_frame_renderer.nim (collapses the upstream nc-drag div in MainWindowPage-*.js so it no longer absorbs pointer events over the UI buttons).
• Contributed by @boommasterxd (#100).

Cowork graceful degradation

• Cowork preamble now detects socket availability at startup and logs a helpful message with install link when the cowork service is not running.
• Event subscription guard (Patch H): skip createConnection call when the cowork socket is absent, with a lazy 60s retry that auto-connects once the service appears.
• Error message URLs now include full https:// prefix for clickability.

Patch fix: restore fix_ion_dist_linux

• fix_ion_dist_linux.nim restored - the v1.8089.0 update incorrectly claimed Anthropic upstreamed Linux support for the ion-dist 3P config SPA. Verification against the unpatched MSIX shows: only the file manager label ("Show in file manager") was upstreamed. The mountPath object still lacks a linux key, and the platform ternary still falls back to the macOS path on Linux. Both sub-patches are still needed.
• Regex updated for v1.8089.0 minified variable names: ternary pattern now uses [\w$.]+ wildcards instead of hardcoded r/t variable names (v1.8089.0 uses C===V.Win32?Ve.mountPath.win:Ve.mountPath.mac).

APT repo: DEB822 format

• APT install script now uses DEB822 .sources format instead of legacy one-line .list format (#101)
• install.sh creates /etc/apt/sources.list.d/claude-desktop.sources with structured Types/URIs/Suites/Signed-By/Architectures fields
• Migration: re-running install.sh automatically removes the old claude-desktop.list to prevent duplicate APT entries
• Manual setup docs (packaging/apt/index.html) updated to match
• Compatible with all supported distros (Debian 11+, Ubuntu 22.04+) - DEB822 has been supported since APT 1.1

Promotional landing page

• New static landing page (site/index.html) replaces the minimal APT setup guide at the gh-pages root
• Single-file HTML/CSS/JS - no build step, no framework dependencies
• Dark theme with violet accent, responsive design (mobile/tablet/desktop)
• UA-based distro detection: hero terminal and install tabs auto-select the right commands based on visitor's OS
• Sections: hero, tabbed quick-install (Arch/Ubuntu/Fedora/Nix/AppImage), 12-card feature grid, distro+arch compatibility matrix, session type table, Cowork Service (native vs KVM), footer with live badges
• No screenshots included (upstream UI is copyrighted)
• CI change: build-and-release.yml now copies site/index.html instead of packaging/apt/index.html to gh-pages root
• No impact on package repos - deb/, rpm/, badges/, install.sh, install-rpm.sh, gpg-key.asc paths all untouched

Build improvements

• Smoke tests skipped by default in all local build scripts (build-local.sh, build-ubuntu-local.sh, build-fedora-local.sh). Pass --smoke-test to opt in. CI is unaffected - smoke tests still run there automatically.
• Electron zip cached across Arch builds - build-local.sh now uses SRCDEST to cache electron-v*.zip in cache/, avoiding ~120MB re-download on every build.
• Removed redundant --no-smoke-test flag (default is now skip).
• Updated docs: CLAUDE.md, update-prompt.md, issue template.

Update workflow distro-agnostic

• Issue template, update-prompt, CC prompt now show build commands for all supported distros (Arch, Ubuntu/Debian, Fedora/RHEL) instead of hardcoding ./scripts/build-local.sh (Arch-only)
• Stale extraction paths replaced: Claude-Setup-x64.exe / Squirrel nupkg references updated to Claude.msix extraction in issue template, update-prompt.md, and themes/README.md
