For a bundled CLI the not-found panel now tells desktop users to reopen or reinstall the app instead of installing from npm. Strings in all six locales.
The desktop app and the macOS menu bar can now run in English, French, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. A Language setting in the desktop Settings picks the language or follows the system, and the choice is shared so the menu bar switches with it, relaunching to pick up the language with a retry so a switch never leaves it down.
Every user-facing string in the desktop renderer goes through a local lookup table, 1,249 keys per language, no framework and no network. The menu bar gains four .lproj to join English and Simplified Chinese, 626 keys each. A completeness gate fails the build if any language is missing a key, in both the desktop catalogs and the menu bar coverage suite. Fonts fall back per language so Japanese, Korean and both Chinese render their correct glyph forms, and dates and numbers format for the locale with values unchanged. English output is byte-identical.
Strings produced by the CLI engine stay English until the CLI is localized, a separate effort. Validated live in all six languages: no missing text, no clipping, correct fonts, numbers unchanged, and the menu bar switching for every language.
Fresh installs now default to the light theme; an explicit theme choice is still honored. Type and spacing move one step up (larger body, titles, sidebar rows and page padding), sidebar shortcut chips move to hover tooltips, and primary text gets full contrast in both themes.
The Plugins page shows the Menu bar and Teams plugins as two cards side by side with embossed background art. The Menu bar card carries the Capacity Dock switch and Settings, Quit and Uninstall as icon buttons with tooltips, an info modal describing the menu bar and the Capacity Dock with the real supported-provider list, and it can install, update, open, quit and uninstall the menu bar app, versioned so an older one shows Update, with a Settings action that opens the menu bar app's own settings. The Teams card shows what is planned in an info modal and a Register for beta testing link.
The Plans page is redesigned as provider cards in a responsive grid, each with its own logo embossed. Connection status is now stable: a single empty or slow poll no longer flips a connected provider to disconnected, a connected provider keeps its quota bars through a transient refresh, and a stuck waiting resolves to an actionable state after twenty seconds. A login-expired error offers Connect, and Gemini's expired login is now a terminal actionable state instead of an endless wait, matching the menu bar.
CLI report, models and menubar-json numbers are identical to the cent before and after; only the Gemini quota error string changes.
The desktop app capped every read at 45s of TOTAL runtime, so a slow machine's
warm `optimize` (52.5s on 0.9.20, 39.6s on main) was SIGKILLed mid-parse and the
panel painted a red "timed out" that a 60s poll then reproduced forever.
- cli.ts: the read timeout is now a no-output watchdog. The window restarts on
every byte the child writes (serve: every frame carrying that request's id),
so only a genuinely silent child times out. A 15-minute absolute ceiling still
reaps a livelocked child. Every read spawn sets CODEBURN_PROGRESS=1 so a long
parse heartbeats through it; progress lines are stripped from any surfaced
stderr so they can never become the error message.
- cli.ts: a timed-out child gets SIGTERM first and SIGKILL only after a 5s
grace, on both the spawn and the serve branch. That lets the CLI's signal
cleanup publish its partial parse and release the cross-process refresh lock
instead of leaving both stale.
- main.ts: the 10-minute cold floor now covers EVERY read while the first
hydration is still running, not just the overview. Sections start polling the
moment `ready` flips (which an overview error also does), and a 45s section
spawn queued behind the cold parse was killed on arrival.
- main.ts/renderer: a timeout raised while the hydration is still running is
flagged `cold`, and the renderer keeps its indexing splash (and keeps the
sections gated) instead of latching ready and painting CliErrorPanel. Only
timeouts are flagged; a permission or nonzero failure still surfaces.
- cli.ts/main.ts: the resident serve child's pid is recorded under userData and
a serve orphaned by a previous crash is reaped at launch, after `ps` confirms
the pid still belongs to a codeburn serve.
- src/main.ts: `codeburn serve` exits explicitly once its stdin closes, so a
handle outliving the transport cannot keep the child alive as an orphan.
