The warm covered session cwds, but build_tree also resolves each declared
project folder and each discovered repo root. Those were the last probes
running one directory at a time while the sidebar showed a skeleton.
The project tree probes every distinct session cwd, and on a long-lived
history most of those directories are deleted worktrees — `git -C` there
can only fail, at the price of a fork each. Stat first.
The second elision is `common_repo_root`: only repos have a common dir,
and the parallel warm never covers that probe because `resolve()` reaches
it only for cwds that already resolved. Every non-repo cwd was therefore
paying a serial `git` spawn on the discovery pass.
/home and /Users hold home directories; neither is a workspace. A session
whose cwd was one of them got promoted to its own auto project, so the
sidebar listed a lowercase "home" row beside the synthetic Home bucket.
Both POSIX spellings are excluded on every host — macOS ships an empty
/home autofs stub, and container/remote shells hand back Linux paths — as
are the filesystem root and the parent of $HOME.
Sessions started from the terminal were stored with no `cwd` and no
`git_repo_root`, so the sidebar had nothing to group them by and they never
appeared under their project — they fell into "No workspace" instead. On one
real profile this covered 690 of 1063 TUI sessions.
The row write persisted a cwd only when `explicit_cwd` was set, which happens
only if the user switches directory mid-session. The intent was to avoid
filing chats under whatever folder the app launched in, and that reasoning
holds for the desktop, whose launch directory is an artifact of how the bundle
was opened. It does not hold for a terminal session: the user cd'd into that
directory before running hermes, and it is where the agent's terminal runs.
Split the two cases behind one helper. An explicit pick is always persisted;
otherwise the launch directory is recorded for terminal-started sessions and
left unset for the desktop, preserving the existing "No workspace" default
there.
Existing rows are unaffected: they carry neither cwd nor git_repo_root, so
there is nothing to recover them from.
The sidebar's project overview put git checkouts with zero Hermes sessions
above the repos the user actually works in, and dragging a project into place
did not stick.
Two causes. The repo discovery payload folded `discovered_repos.last_seen`
into `last_active`, but `last_seen` is when the disk scan last saw the
directory, so every scanned checkout was stamped "just now" and outranked
real work. Activity is now session-derived only; a repo with no sessions
reports no activity.
The overview also applied the manual drag-order through `orderByIds`, which
floats every id missing from the saved order to the top. That is right for
sessions, where a new chat should not sink, but the overview keeps receiving
newly-scanned repos — so once the user dragged anything, each new discovery
jumped above their hand-picked list. Projects the user has not ordered now
keep their deterministic position: ones with real activity still surface on
top, zero-session discoveries sort below the ordered list.
* feat(desktop): configure repository discovery
* fix(config): preserve additive default migration
* fix(desktop): stabilize session-actions-menu gateway mock for repo-scan subscribe
projects.ts now runs $gateway.subscribe(syncReposScanning) at module load, and
nanostores fires the subscriber synchronously. session-actions-menu.test.ts
reaches projects.ts transitively via the session store but mocked
@/store/gateway without $gateway, crashing the whole desktop vitest suite
("No \ export is defined"). Simply adding $gateway: atom(null) exposed a
second issue: the synchronous subscriber calls the mock's activeGateway()
during the transitive import, before the module-level const initializes (TDZ).
Hoist the mock fns via vi.hoisted() so activeGateway is defined before the
hoisted vi.mock factory runs, and add $gateway: atom(null) to the mock. Mirrors
the self-contained mock pattern already used in projects.test.ts. Also maps the
PR author's commit email for attribution.
Supersedes #67630; incorporates review feedback from that PR.

Surface the session's first-class Project in both chat surfaces: the
Desktop status bar (project name as the workspace label, full cwd in the
tooltip) and the TUI status label + /status output.
One source of truth. The per-profile projects.db is the authority, read
in tui_gateway via _project_info_for_cwd (backed by
projects_db.project_for_path) and threaded through every session.info
emission path the TUI consumes. The Desktop already caches that truth in
$projectTree, so it DERIVES the label from it (projectNameForCwd) instead
of carrying a second per-session $currentProject atom fed from
session.info.
That drops the parallel state #64721 introduced and the entire
reset/reconciliation surface it required (resume, agentless cwd.set,
gateway-switch, fresh-draft): the label is purely derived, so it stays
correct whenever the cwd or the project tree changes. Only explicit,
named projects resolve on both surfaces, so an auto-discovered repo root
keeps the cwd-leaf label everywhere.
Excludes the unrelated markdown shell-fence change bundled in #64721.
