Cline v0.1.66: Window Management Primitives
Cline adds window state persistence, multi-window registry, and factory primitives for desktop window management. Part 1 of a 3-part refactor.
TL;DR
- New window state persistence layer — bounds, paths, and display affinity saved across sessions
- Centralized multi-window registry with focus tracking and batch operations
- Window factory handles screen transitions and security checks
- Part 1 of 3-part refactor from PR #372
New
- Window state persistence — Per-window bounds, last viewed path, and display affinity saved to userData on close, restored on launch
- Multi-window registry — Centralized tracking of all BrowserWindow instances with focus tracking, lifecycle events, and batch operations (loadUrlInAllWindows, saveAllStates)
- Window factory — Creates BrowserWindows from persisted state or defaults, handles disconnected screen transitions, enforces security via will-navigate origin checks
- Native fallback UI — disconnected.html provides runtime crash recovery without external dependencies
- Minimal preload bridge — preload.ts sets up IPC channels with security boundaries intact
This is part 1 of a 3-way split from the original PR #372. Upcoming: runtime-orchestrator (372b), then main wiring (372c).
