v0.4.1

Fix: macOS terminal keyboard input

Fixed an issue where arrow keys, backspace, and delete keys were not working in the terminal on macOS. The WKWebView was intercepting keyboard events before they reached xterm.js. Added native macOS setup to make the WKWebView the first responder on launch.

Note: The editor (CodeMirror) was unaffected — this fix is specific to the terminal (xterm.js).

Volt 0.3.0

What's Changed since v0.2.2

Real-Time File Tree

• Expanded folder state and scroll position preserved across tree refreshes
• Debounced directory change events (300ms) to batch rapid filesystem operations
• Context menu actions (new/delete/rename) now preserve tree state
• Noisy paths (.git, node_modules, etc.) filtered from watcher events
• Fixed tree flashing on refresh by deferring innerHTML clear until new data is ready

Git Integration

Editor

• Scroll position preserved across markdown preview toggle

Error Handling & Resilience

• Watcher creation failures logged instead of silently ignored

• File watches use LRU eviction instead of hard error at limit
• Terminal resize clamping, LSP config load failures, and file manager errors now logged
• JSON parse calls in Vite config wrapped in try-catch to prevent build failures

Security

• Removed space from emulator ID validation allowlist (cmd /C injection vector)

Accessibility

• Added role="tree" to file explorer for screen reader navigation
• ARIA attributes on tab bar, sidebar, dialogs, status bar, and tree items

CSS & UI

• Replaced ~30 hardcoded hex colors with CSS custom properties for maintainability

Full Changelog: v0.2.2...v0.3.0

v0.2.2

What's Changed since v0.2.0

Atomic File Saves & Error Visibility

• Atomic writes via temp file + rename in fs.rs — prevents data loss on crash/bluescreen mid-save
• Used for both save_file() and save_config()
• Added console.warn to ~57 silent catch blocks across all JS files so failures show in DevTools

Performance Improvements

• Parallelized search_in_files with std::thread::scope (no new deps)
• Cached canonicalized project root and ~/.volt dir in validate_path
• O(1) git folder status lookups via dirty-directory prefix Set
• Cached lowercased file paths in Quick Open, reduced object allocations
• Single-pass diagnostic counts in analyzer status bar and panel

Security: Path Validation Hardening

• Added validate_path() to read_directory, read_file, save_file, read_image_file, swap file commands, list_all_files, and search_in_files
• Reordered openFolder to set PROJECT_ROOT before loadDirectory

LSP Document Sync

• Full didOpen/didChange/didClose/didSave notification pipeline
• Message queuing until LSP initialization completes, 300ms debounce on changes
• Re-sends open documents on analyzer restart, plus rename handling
• Fixed LSP URI encoding for paths with spaces, #, and special characters
• Deduplicated rootUri construction via existing path_to_uri helper

Config & Git Improvements

• In-memory config cache to avoid redundant disk reads
• Debounced fire-and-forget config saves to prevent race conditions
• Wrapped git_status in spawn_blocking to avoid blocking the async runtime

Search & File Tree Fixes

• Exposed dot-files (.gitignore, .env, etc.) in Quick Open and Search while still skipping hidden directories
• Filtered .volt-swap/.volt-tmp from Quick Open/Search
• Highlighted all query occurrences per line in Find in Files, not just the first

CSS & UI Polish

• Extracted 16 CSS colors into :root custom properties for maintainability
• Injected version from package.json via Vite define instead of hardcoding
• Added Ctrl+Shift+O shortcut to close the current folder
• Fixed shell quoting to use PowerShell escaping on Windows

Testing

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.2.2

v0.2.0

What's New

Security Hardening

• Add Content-Security-Policy (script-src 'self') to block inline script injection
• Add path containment for destructive file operations (create/delete/rename) via project root tracking
• Validate emulator IDs against safe character allowlist to prevent command injection
• Tighten DOMPurify markdown preview with explicit tag/attribute allowlists
• Shell-quote file paths pasted into terminals to prevent accidental execution

Resource Limits

• Cap concurrent terminals (20), file watches (10K), recursive file listing (100K files), terminal resize (500×200)

Terminal

• Handle Shift+Enter for Claude Code newline support (sends ESC+LF sequence)
• Add zero-dimension guard to resize_terminal to prevent invalid PTY resize calls

Search & File Tree

• Move search_in_files and list_all_files to async with spawn_blocking for non-blocking file I/O
• Add recursion depth limit (64) to prevent stack overflow from symlink loops
• Add undo toast after file/folder renames with 5-second auto-dismiss

v0.1.3

Changes

• Handle Shift+Enter in terminal for Claude Code newline support
• Fix bold text not rendering in markdown preview
• Darken inactive tab background for stealthier look
• Use neutral gray for inactive tabs (no purple hue)
• Fix duplicate file tree rendering and slow git status

v0.1.2

What's New in v0.1.2

Image Preview

• Image file support — clicking an image file (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, BMP, ICO, AVIF, TIFF) in the file tree opens a preview tab with the image, its dimensions, and file size
• Checkerboard background — transparent images display against a checkerboard pattern so transparency is visible
• 20MB limit — large images are gracefully rejected with an error message

Git Status Indicators

• File status badges — modified (M), untracked (U), added (A), and deleted (D) files show colored labels in the file tree
• Colored file names — modified files are yellow, untracked/added files are green, deleted files are red with strikethrough
• Folder indicators — folders containing dirty files show a yellow dot
• Auto-refresh — git status updates on folder open, tree refresh, and file save

Terminal

• Ctrl+Backspace fix — word-delete now works correctly in both PowerShell prompts and VT apps (Claude Code, vim, etc.) on Windows
• Instant tab switching — removed 200ms click delay on tab activation; tabs now respond immediately to clicks while still supporting double-click to rename
