Skills Manager v1.28.3

on GitHub

Release date: 2026-07-13
Commit range: v1.28.2...v1.28.3

Release Overview

• Windows-focused reliability patch: the app can no longer be bricked at launch by a half-finished central-library move, deeply nested skills install correctly on Windows, and several workspace, backup, and dark-theme fixes land alongside.

User-facing

• Windows: the app no longer fails to open after relocating the central library — After moving the central library to another drive, an incomplete move could leave read-only Git pack files at the destination. The next launch tried to copy over them, hit "access denied (os error 5)", and the app died before any window or log appeared — it just wouldn't open. Migration now only ever moves into an empty destination; if it can't complete, the app keeps running against your existing library at its previous location (nothing is lost) and shows a banner explaining how to finish the move. A failed migration can no longer crash startup (#252).
• Windows: installing skills with deeply nested paths no longer fails — The app now declares long-path awareness in its manifest, so installing a skill whose files sit behind a long, deeply nested path no longer fails with "path too long" (works together with Windows' LongPathsEnabled) (#298, #299).
• Sidebar presets reappear immediately after a sync or restore — After cloning, re-cloning, syncing, connecting to GitHub, or restoring (including first-run restore), the preset list in the sidebar stayed empty until you restarted the app, even though the data had already been restored to the database. It now refreshes in place (#302).
• Workspace cards count skills installed outside Skills Manager — An agent's overview card counted only skills from the managed library, so an agent whose skills were installed by other means showed 0. The card now counts each agent's real on-disk skills, matching the per-agent detail badge (#287).
• Dark-theme agent icons are visible again — Monochrome-black agent icons (codex, roo_code) were invisible on dark backgrounds; they are now inverted under the dark theme (#279, #304).

Developer & Governance

• migrate_repo_if_needed was rewritten to be infallible — it returns a decision (Proceed / UseSource) instead of an error, so a migration failure can never panic through the pre-window .expect in run(). Root cause: the crash only occurred when overwriting an existing read-only file, so migration now refuses any non-empty target (never blind-merging older source over newer data) and a fresh target makes the copy structurally incapable of overwriting a read-only pack. On failure it falls back to the intact source via a runtime base-dir override; detailed errors are deferred to record_startup_error and flushed once the logger exists (the pre-logger log::error! was a no-op); migration is skipped when a CLI base override is active. A grok review pass added two fixes: source/target are compared canonically (fs::canonicalize) so a cosmetic path difference — case, 8.3, or a symlink — isn't taken for a real move and looped forever; and the fallback banner was reworded so it never tells the user to empty the path shown in Settings (which, under the override, is the live library). +6 Rust tests.
• The Windows long-path fix embeds a custom app manifest via build.rs (app_manifest() replaces Tauri's default, so the Common-Controls v6 dependency is re-declared); it is ignored on non-Windows targets. The workspace/backup/icon fixes (#302, #287, #279/#304) were codex (gpt-5.5) reviewed; follow-ups: conflict-resolution and background auto-backup completion also refresh presets/skills, and overview counts rebuild fresh so a failed scan falls back to the managed library.
• Backend Rust suite at 393 passing; frontend npm run build clean.
