Rebrand. The product name is now Resenhacord everywhere a person reads it:
window title, tray, notifications, About panel, PWA manifest, page title,
recovery and instance-picker screens, and the four i18n strings that named
the app. Code identifiers (BackspaceElectronAPI, @backspace/* workspace
names, the federation protocol) are unchanged — they are not a brand, and
renaming them buys nothing but churn. AGPL notices and upstream attribution
stay as they were.
Two rename details that would each have hurt real users:
- electron-builder's productName changed but appId did not. NSIS keys the
installation on appId, so the updater replaces the Backspace install in
place instead of leaving a second app beside it.
- userData is keyed on app name, so the rename would have moved every
install to an empty profile — logged out, instance URL gone. main.ts now
walks a migration chain ("@backspace/desktop" → "Backspace" →
"Resenhacord"), each step a no-op once its source is gone, and one whose
target already holds data leaves it alone. Autostart lookups accept the
old registry entry name too.
Logo. Two speech bubbles in conversation, violet behind, rose in front with
three dots — the front one is talking. Sources are hand-written SVG in
assets/brand (square viewBox; the gap between bubbles is a mask, not paint,
so the alpha-only macOS template keeps the silhouette). PNG sources are
rendered from the icon SVG and the whole set — .icns, .ico, Linux PNGs, tray
variants, favicons, PWA, maskable — comes from the existing gen-icons
pipeline unchanged.
Pin notice. Pinning a message now posts "X pinned a message to this channel.
See all pinned messages." into the channel, the way Discord does, with two
links: the message itself (jumps to it) and the pins panel. Space messages
had no `type` column — only DM messages carried system events — so this adds
one (migration 0018, default 'user', verified against a copy of the
production database: 88 rows, all 'user'). The route inserts a type='system'
row alongside the pin and broadcasts it as message_created, so the client
renders it with the SystemMessage renderer it already has. Unpinning posts
nothing; it is housekeeping, not news. System notices are excluded from the
notification toast and the message sound — they are not from anyone.
The pins panel and jump target are local state in MainContent; a notice deep
in the timeline reaches them through two small uiStore requests (a counter
and an id), neither persisted.
Verified: web build, 506 web tests (2 new), server typecheck, 804 server
tests, desktop typecheck.

UX bug found during smoke testing: clicking Change Instance immediately
deleted the saved instance URL and showed an empty picker, with no way
back if the user changed their mind.
Fix:
- Don't clearInstanceUrl() in recovery action 'change-instance' — picker
is now non-destructive
- Picker pre-fills the input with the current saved URL when present
- Cancel button (shown only when a saved URL exists) returns to current
instance via idempotent setInstanceUrl re-save
- Header copy switches to 'Switch instance' / 'Cancel to stay' framing
when a saved URL is present
- URL only overwrites on explicit Connect to a different instance
Also: add console.log enter/exit lines in enterRecoveryMode and the
clear-recovery-state action handlers, so smoke-test scripts can grep
stderr for recovery activity without UI introspection.
Spec + docs/systems/desktop.md updated.
Eliminates the brief "Version: loading…" flash in the diagnostic block
on first render. Resolves getRecoveryState + getVersion in parallel via
Promise.all so the first render call has both. Drops the redundant
module-load .then() that set cachedVersion before render ran.
icon.png at repo root and gen-icns.sh are replaced by the SVG-driven
generator. tray-icon@2x.png is a Cocoa convention only — macOS uses
the template, not the colored variant. None have remaining consumers.
First run of pnpm gen-icons against the new artwork. All 22 outputs
generated deterministically (verified by hashing twice). Replaces the
dated raster set everywhere — desktop app icons, tray, web favicons,
PWA, in-app logo.
Rewrite games.json from bare array (28 entries) to versioned format
{ version: 1, games: [...] } with 249 entries covering top Steam games,
competitive titles, AAA, indie, survival/craft, simulation, horror,
fighting, racing, MMOs, and media apps (Spotify, VLC, OBS, mpv).
Every process name is specific enough to avoid false-positive detection.
Add cross-platform process scanning that detects running games and apps,
then broadcasts them as Rich Presence activities via the existing Phase 1
pipeline (activityStore -> WS -> other users).
- games.json dictionary with 26 entries (games, Spotify, VLC, OBS)
- activityDetector module: polls OS process list every 15s via execFile,
matches against dictionary, emits IPC on state change only
- IPC bridge in main.ts/preload.ts with cleanup on quit
- Frontend activityBridge subscribes to IPC and feeds activityStore
- Supports Windows (tasklist CSV), macOS (ps -c), Linux (ps)
Add auto-launch settings (start at boot + start minimized) to the
Desktop section in Account settings, using Electron's built-in
setLoginItemSettings API across macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Replace the fallback colored-circle tray icon with proper B logo assets:
template images for macOS (adapts to light/dark menu bar) and colored
icons for Windows/Linux. Fix BGRA channel order bug in fallback generator
and move tray icons to resources/ so they're packaged into the app.
- Custom screen share picker for Electron (ScreenSharePicker.tsx) with
Aether Drift design: glass-bubble footer, adaptive grid, pill tabs,
border-based selection (avoids overflow clipping), hover brightness
- Instance URL picker so Electron connects to any Backspace server
- System audio loopback on Windows/Linux via desktopCapturer callback
- macOS: video-only callback (OS blocks system audio capture)
- IPC bridge for screen source enumeration and selection
- Purge stale service worker caches on Electron launch
