AI Gate v4.8.0

Added

• Kimi joins the built-in providers. Existing installs pick it up on next launch — providers added in a later version are now offered once to installs that already have a tool list, and a built-in you delete stays deleted.
• Arch Linux package — releases now ship a .pacman alongside the AppImage, .deb, and zip. Closes #11.

Fixed

• macOS menu bar item was enormous — the 1024×1024 PNG was handed straight to the status item, which on affected systems produced a 1040-point menu-bar window that displaced or hid other apps' icons. The tray image is now resized to 16×16 on macOS; other platforms are unchanged.
• Update dialog reopened on every launch — dismissing with Close or Go to Releases stored no state, so the same release prompted again next start. The dismissed version is now remembered. The sidebar update indicator stays, Remind Tomorrow still works, and a newer release prompts again.
• Ordinary provider links opened in a small AI Gate window — 4.7.1 routed every http/https pop-up from a provider webview in-app, a rule introduced for OAuth that also caught normal links. Pop-up routing now recognizes authentication hosts and path segments, keeping sign-in flows in-app with the shared provider session while sending other web links to your default browser.
• Sidebar and tab icons missing or invisible — three of the six built-in providers pointed at remote icon URLs that no longer serve a decodable image, which silently fell back to Google's favicon proxy, so icons only appeared when that service was reachable and fast. The OpenAI mark had a separate problem: it shipped with no fill and painted solid black against the dark theme's card. All six marks now ship with the app, are resolved from the tool's hostname, and use currentColor where the mark is monochrome, so they draw offline and read on both themes.

Changed

• The icon fallback chain used by the sidebar, tabs, tab picker, panel header, and default-tools selector is now one shared component. Tools you add yourself still resolve saved icon → site favicon → placeholder, and a request that hangs rather than fails now draws the placeholder instead of leaving an empty box. An icon you upload yourself still wins over the bundled mark.
• Built-in providers no longer send your tool domains to Google's favicon service on launch.
• macOS downloads are now a single universal build. The x64 and arm64 builds duplicated what the universal binary already covers, so macOS assets drop from six files to two. The universal .dmg runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon.
• Windows no longer ships a third, combined installer. Only the per-architecture x64 and arm64 installers are published.

Verifying your download

The .asc signatures and SHA256SUMS.txt have been replaced by build attestations. GitHub publishes a SHA-256 digest for every asset, and each file now carries Sigstore-backed provenance proving which workflow and commit produced it:

gh attestation verify <file> -R inulute/ai-gate

Security

• Non-authentication pop-ups from a provider webview now go straight to the system browser instead of through the 4.7.1 Allow / Always Allow / Decline dialog. The consent dialog still governs anything that opens inside AI Gate; this narrows what it covers to the in-app case.

Release: v4.7.1 • Date: 2026-07-12 (UTC)

What's new in v4.7.1

🔑 Google OAuth & Pop-up Sign-in Fixed

"Continue with Google" (and other pop-up-based sign-in flows) now work inside webviews.

The root cause was a React 19 behaviour change with custom elements: the allowpopups attribute was passed as a JSX boolean shorthand, which React 19 silently drops on custom elements. The attribute never reached the DOM, so Chromium blocked every pop-up before Electron's handlers could even run.

🛡️ Pop-up Confirmation Dialog

Rather than quietly allowing or blocking pop-ups, the app now shows a native Allow / Always Allow / Decline dialog whenever a webview tries to open a new window. The dialog names both the opener site and destination so you always know what you're approving.

• Allow — opens the pop-up once
• Always Allow — saves the opener → destination domain pair; future requests from the same pair open without a prompt
• Decline — closes the pop-up window

This replaces the previous hard-coded Google-only exception with a user-consent model that works for any provider.

⚙️ Purge Saved Pop-up Permissions

A new Advanced section in Settings → General shows how many pop-up permissions are saved and lets you purge them all with one click. After purging, the confirmation dialog will appear again the next time a site opens a pop-up.

🔒 Security Notes

• New pop-up windows keep hardened defaults: nodeIntegration: false, contextIsolation: true, no preload, web security on. They reuse the persist:webtool session so sign-in state flows back to the tool webview.
• The saved allowlist (popup-allowlist.json) is stored separately from settings.json so whole-object settings writes can never accidentally clobber it.
• Allowlist entries are validated on every read; malformed data is silently ignored.

👏 Contributors

Thanks to @n3yne for the full implementation of this fix — diagnosis, root-cause analysis, and the confirmation dialog system.

Release: v4.7.0 • Date: 2026-07-03 (UTC)

What's new in v4.7.0

🔒 Security Hardening

Replaced shell.openExternal blocklist with an allowlist — the previous approach blocked a fixed set of dangerous schemes (file:, javascript:, data:, about:). The new allowlist only permits https: and http:, which means any URL scheme not explicitly allowed is rejected by default. This is a fundamentally more secure model.

Tightened Content-Security-Policy to per-directive rules — replaced the broad default-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' * fallback with explicit per-directive rules (script-src, style-src, font-src, img-src *, connect-src *). Wildcard is now restricted to img-src and connect-src only, where user-configured tools genuinely require access to arbitrary domains.

🖱️ Drag-to-Reorder Tools in the Sidebar

Tools in the left-hand panel can now be dragged to any position. Built on @dnd-kit/sortable with a PointerSensor (6 px activation threshold), restrictToVerticalAxis, and restrictToParentElement. The expanded sidebar shows a grip handle on hover; the collapsed sidebar uses a full-item drag overlay to keep the hit area accessible. Order is persisted across restarts.

🔍 Ctrl+Scroll Zoom in Webviews

Holding Ctrl and scrolling over a webview now steps through the same zoom levels as Ctrl++ / Ctrl+-. Implemented via a zoom-changed handler on web-contents-created in the main process — no new IPC surface, routes through the existing webviewZoom system.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed tab drag causing a black window — two separate root causes were resolved:

1. CSS.Transform.toString() in Tab.tsx emits translate3d(), which promotes elements to a GPU compositing layer. On Windows this conflicted with Electron's webview GPU rendering and could crash the GPU process. Switched to a 2D translate().

2. reorderTabInPanel() received numeric indices computed against the full global toolInstances list, but resolved them against a smaller panel-local list internally. In synced-tabs mode this produced out-of-bounds indices, causing splice to return undefined and throwing a TypeError that crashed the renderer. Fixed by switching the signature to instance IDs and resolving indices safely inside the updater.

Fixed tab reorder having no effect in synced-tabs mode — when Sync tab bar across all panels is enabled, instances is ordered by array position, not positionInPanel. TabBar.handleDragEnd now calls reorderInstances() in synced mode (reorders the global array and updates position) and reorderTabInPanel() in per-panel mode.

Fixed sidebar drag, tab overflow, and auto-collapse layout issues — various layout edge cases in the sidebar collapse behaviour and tab bar overflow handling were resolved.

Removed redundant UpdateService polling interval — UpdateService had its own setInterval in the constructor that fired network requests every 12 h and discarded results. UpdateContext already owns the polling lifecycle with proper useEffect cleanup. Removed the internal timer, startPeriodicCheck(), and CHECK_INTERVAL.

Removed dead window.openExternal assignment in preload — under contextIsolation: true the preload script's window is isolated from the renderer's window, so this assignment was unreachable dead code.

Release: v4.6.0 • Date: 2026-05-23 (UTC)

What's new in v4.6.0

🖥️ Wayland Fixes

Native Wayland support has been hardened to fix real-world rendering issues across Linux environments.

Fixed black window on launch — Switched from --ozone-platform=wayland to --ozone-platform-hint=auto so Electron picks native Wayland or XWayland based on what actually works in the running environment.

Fixed silent feature flag drops — When ELECTRON_ARGS was set alongside Wayland detection, Chromium's last-value-wins behaviour for duplicate --enable-features switches could silently discard the Wayland flags. All flags are now merged into a single switch before launch.

Fixed ELECTRON_ARGS parser — Flags of the form --enable-features=FeatureA,FeatureB only had FeatureA survive. The parser now correctly splits feature values by comma after splitting flags by whitespace.

Added ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT as a detection trigger — The Electron ≥28 standard env var (also set by the Flatpak) now triggers Wayland mode alongside WAYLAND_DISPLAY, XDG_SESSION_TYPE, and NIXOS_OZONE_WL.

AppImage and deb ship with WaylandWindowDecorations enabled by default — via electron-builder executableArgs. No env var setup needed on standard Wayland desktops.

⌨️ Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts

Contributed by @ryanbbrown

Configure shortcuts for tab switching, pane navigation, tab creation, close, and rename — all without touching the mouse. Shortcuts are intercepted at the Electron main-process level so provider webviews can't swallow them.

Three built-in presets: Original (defaults), iTerm (direct Ctrl/Cmd+1…9 tab switching), and tmux (prefix-key workflows e.g. Ctrl+B then a number).

Includes prefix-mode with a 2-second timeout and Escape to cancel, plus a shortcut recording UI with live key capture and validation for webview-safe combinations.

🔭 Browser Zoom & Tab Numbers

Contributed by @ryanbbrown

Zoom in, out, and reset inside provider webviews via Ctrl/Cmd +/-/0. Tab numbers are now shown in the tab bar for quick reference, and provider context menus (right-click copy, inspect, etc.) are available inside webviews.

Google auth popups from provider webviews now open in-app with the shared session — this fixes Claude Google sign-in.

🐛 Other Fixes

Fixed Vite dev server crashing with ELOOP when flatpak/build-dir contained mounted system filesystems with circular symlinks.

Fixed Flatpak crash on launch ([--in-process-gpu](https://github.com/inulute/ai-gate/commit/5a38811)).

Provider icons now fall back to favicons before showing the generic placeholder.

macOS icon inset to 824×824 inside a 1024×1024 canvas for correct native proportions.
