Changes since last release

Upstream (v1.9255.0 -> v1.9255.2)

v1.9255.2 is a webpack re-minify only point release on top of v1.9255.0 (4.2 MB diff, fresh identifiers everywhere). All findings below were collected against v1.9255.0 and re-verified against v1.9255.2 - the flexible [\w$]+ patterns in every patch absorbed the v1.9255.0 -> v1.9255.2 renames automatically (e.g. fix_tray_dbus.nim tracked tray function _5A -> R6A and tray variable OE -> xE without any code change).

• Version bump: v1.8555.2 -> v1.9255.2 (v1.9255.0 was skipped at release time)
• 2 new feature flags (29 total static, was 27):
  • chatIn3p - dev-gated (PM() production gate), third-party chat
  • chatCodeExecution - qWe(Vi()) 3p config presence check
• Feature flags: function names renamed - Gp() (static, was Np()), pEA (async, was SIA). Async merger still spreads Gp() + 4 overrides (louderPenguin/coworkKappa/coworkArtifacts/markTaskComplete) gated by Ct("4116586025")/Ct("123929380")/Ct("2940196192")/Ct("3732274605") - same shape as v1.8555.2, same enable_local_agent_mode.nim override list still correct
• ion-dist SPA: still 87 MB. JS chunks 667 -> 677, c71860c77-* main chunks 16 -> 20 (more code-splitting), CSS 22 -> 21. Patched chunk renamed c71860c77-CgRWbV12.js -> c71860c77-DFJHDHrp.js (same filename in v1.9255.0 and v1.9255.2). mountPath still lacks linux key, both sub-patches still apply
• No new MCP servers - registry unchanged from v1.8555.2
• No new native module requires - dependency surface unchanged
• New Cowork debug surfaces: cowork-host-loop-log (new debug-report log source for host-loop agent process API retries/errors), coworkUserFilesPath (persistent Cowork user-files path resolution via resolveCoworkUserFilesPath)
• No new platform gates blocking Linux. tearOffHalo (introduced in v1.8555.2) remains the only macOS-only Cowork feature with no Linux equivalent - not portable without compositor-specific overlay-window APIs
• GrowthBook flag deltas not re-verified - the v1.8555.2 MSIX was deleted before the comparison was performed, so the diff baseline was an older bundle. No verified add/remove list for this release

Patch fix: fix_tray_dbus.nim

• Upstream merged tray + menu variables into a single let OE=null,Ak=null; declaration with function ECA() between the declaration and function _5A(). The old regex let ([\w$]+)=null;(?:async )?function _5A no longer matched.
• Rebased: the tray variable is now extracted from the X&&(X.destroy(),X=null) pattern inside the _5A() body itself. Robust against merged declarations and intervening functions.

No other patch changes needed

All other 46 patches applied without modification. Flexible [\w$]+ patterns absorbed all minified variable renames automatically.

Build

• Validation: 47/48 patches PASS via scripts/validate-patches.sh. The single FAIL is fix_ion_dist_linux.nim (type nim-dir) - the validator does not yet implement directory-target validation; the patch itself was tested manually against the extracted ion-dist/ and applied successfully.
• End-to-end: scripts/apply_patches.py applied all 47 patches against staged app.asar.contents/, node --check on patched index.js + mainView.js passed.
