The renderer-side guard added in v1.0.17 called preventDefault on every
keydown while locked. A keydown's default action IS inserting the
character into the focused field, so the lock screen's password box
received nothing and a locked app could never be unlocked. Menu
accelerators are already stopped in main (before-input-event); the
renderer guard now just skips its own logic.
Also: Ctrl+L locks the screen from anywhere in the app, terminals
included. The chord is only taken when a lock actually engages, so an
unconfigured app keeps Ctrl+L for the shell's clear-screen.
Lock screen (main-window overlay, no second window):
- scrypt password verifier in <userData>/lock.json (per-write salt,
timingSafeEqual); salt/hash/password never leave the main process
- lock now / idle auto-lock / lock at startup, growing failure cooldown,
lock flags persisted so a quit-and-relaunch cannot bypass the lock
- locked shell and body portals go inert while sessions keep running;
menu accelerators (reload, DevTools, zoom) are swallowed while locked
- settings gains a Lock tab; all copy in zh-CN/zh-TW/en/ja
Security and stability:
- packaged builds ignore ELECTRON_RENDERER_URL / OT_UPDATE_URL (devEnv)
- renderer preload runs with sandbox: true
- unreadable known_hosts store fails closed instead of being overwritten
- connect-time secrets gated by the bookmark's auth method (connectPromptFor)
- ssh stream teardown is idempotent: PTY_EXIT broadcasts exactly once
- sysinfo polling is refcounted for split panes (forceStopPolling on close)
- session-log index entries are path-contained; settings store writes
atomically with EPERM/EBUSY retry
- sync-changelog tolerates CRLF checkouts (was a silent no-op)
- retry ssh2 host-key generation (flaky malformed key, ~1/500)
Tests: lock-store + lock-controller suites; transport-death PTY_EXIT e2e;
GitHub Actions CI (typecheck + 10 offline tests + build)
Rules & engine:
- 22 presets (was 11): split status into okstate/warnstate/badstate, add delop,
createop, danger, secret, level, exitcode, percent, http; status words are
case-insensitive and cover the ✓ ✔ ✅ ✗ ✘ ✖ ❌ ⚠ symbol set
- value bands: the first number in a match picks the colour
(percent: <20% red / 20-50% yellow / 50-80% light green / >=80% green)
- optional per-rule `caseInsensitive`, `category`, `bands`; load-time
`refreshBuiltinRules` upgrades untouched built-in patterns in place
Settings page:
- three-way master switch `highlightMode` (all / basic / off); `basic` runs only
the five safety+status rules and `off` empties the rule set rather than
bypassing HighlightStream (which would drop the held tail)
- category column + grouping (`highlightGroupByCategory`), per-rule hit/duration
stats (`highlightStats`, opt-in sink, snapshot once a second), theme-following
colours (`highlightThemeColors`, hue-bucket mapping onto the ANSI palette),
import/export JSON envelope, live preview through the real engine
- named rule subsets bound per host (`highlightPerHost` + `highlightProfiles`
+ `SshConnection.highlightProfileId`); empty ruleIds = every rule
Tests: new tests/hl-rules.mjs (word boundaries, case flag, negative words,
bands, import/export, preview, basic mode, categories, stats, theme colours,
profiles) + profile round-trip in tests/settings-store.mjs
version 1.0.13, M10 milestone, release steps matching release.cjs
(incl. the sync-changelog pre-step), removed QuickInputPanel mentions,
real test mechanism instead of vitest, full test list
From the 2026-09-15 decision, releases go to the Gitea release + the
domestic update channel with --skip-github; the GitHub release assets are no
longer synced per version (the code/tag mirror stays).
A dev instance shared the installed build's userData directory and lock, so
starting it demanded killing the real app and it wrote test settings and
session snapshots into the live profile. Dev now uses OpenTerminal-dev and
tags its window title '(dev)'; both instances run side by side.
