Checksums

Changes since last release

Upstream (v1.9659.4)

• Version bump: v1.9659.2 -> v1.9659.4 (webpack re-minify point release - fresh identifiers, no behavioral change vs v1.9659.2). v1.9659.3 was not observed on the public download channel (the version API only serves latest).
• All 47 patches applied without modification - zero regex changes needed. The flexible [\w$]+ patterns absorbed every minified variable rename, including fix_tray_dbus.nim (this release: tray fn Jfi, tray var RQ, menu var mm). JS syntax valid (node --check) on the patched bundle, RPM built successfully on Fedora.
• Same 31 feature flags as v1.9659.2 (30 static + louderPenguin async-only): exact same 30 static feature names, chatTab/surfaceTogglesPreview still the 2 newest, no features added or removed.
• Function renames vs v1.9659.2 (re-minify only): static registry xp()->Yp(), async merger olA->IlA (still {...Yp(),louderPenguin:e,coworkKappa:A,coworkArtifacts:t,markTaskComplete:i} via Promise.all([Frr(),V0A(()=>Bt("123929380")),V0A(()=>Bt("2940196192")),V0A(()=>Bt("3732274605"))])), dev-gate wrapper Em()->um() (function um(e){return aA.app.isPackaged?{status:"unavailable"}:e()}, electron var aA unchanged), louderPenguin async helper wrr()->Frr(), cowork async helper V0A (Frr() keeps the darwin||win32 gate). GrowthBook bool reader Bt() unchanged. Computer-use Set XEA->rlA (new Set(["darwin","win32"]), checked via rlA.has(process.platform)).
• 71 GrowthBook flag IDs unchanged vs v1.9659.2. Note: upstream no longer serves prior-version MSIX metadata, so the flag-ID set was re-confirmed against the fresh v1.9659.4 binary and matches the documented count.
• ion-dist (3P config SPA): byte-identical to v1.9659.2 - config chunk still c71860c77-BOyfE2Py.js, main index-C_tZnXTW.js, 88 MB (682 JS / 21 CSS / 899 files), mountPath still mac/win-only (no linux key), fix_ion_dist_linux.nim still required and both sub-patterns matched ([PASS]).
• Platform gates: darwin 60->64, win32 111->112, linux 5 (unchanged). The feature registry is byte-identical (same 30 static feature names), so there is no new feature-flag-borne gate, and the listed darwin/win32 gates still map to NATIVE / STUB / PATCHED in baseline/PLATFORM_GATE_BASELINE.md. No new PORTABLE (Linux-actionable) gate. The exact cause of the +4/+1 literal process.platform=== count delta (spanning the .2 -> .4 jump) can't be pinned to a specific mechanism without an old-binary diff, since upstream no longer serves prior-version MSIX.
• Built-in MCP servers: all MCP Linux patches (office, browser-tools, imagine, marketplace, buddy-BLE) applied cleanly, so the code structures they target still exist. The full server roster was not separately re-enumerated this release (the internal-registration anchor changed shape and a quick grep returns tool names, not server names); a deep MCP re-audit was deferred as low-risk for a re-minify point release.
• enable_local_agent_mode.nim 12-flag override list unchanged - the build applied it without modification.
