Summary

  • Fixes E2E failure on run 40219843119: after localStorage.clear(), preference write-through left an established SQLite/map without export-only keys, so origin repair restored the top-level marker and finalize then dropped it.
  • Origin repair now merges top-level preference caches into the canonical map, replaces incomplete (non-baseline) envelopes on import, and gap-fills SQLite preference rows so newer choices still win over a replayed export.

Test plan

  • pnpm exec vitest run on rendererPreferences, durableRendererSettings, webStorageOriginMigration (pre-commit related)
  • Re-run workflow E2E on this branch (or after merge on main) and confirm e2e/renderer-origin.spec.ts “preserves legacy data… repairs empty storage” passes on linux/mac/windows

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved recovery of saved preferences during migration and import, helping preserve existing protocol, font-scale, and theme-color settings.
    • Restored exported preferences when migration markers are missing, while keeping current settings when they conflict with exported values.
    • Incoming preferences now fill gaps without overwriting existing choices.
    • Explicitly reset preferences remain reset instead of being restored from an export.

Repair was leaving clear()+write-through preference maps incomplete, so
finalize dropped restored export markers and E2E origin migration failed.

Walkthrough

Preference-envelope helpers now parse and merge preference values. Durable settings migration and web storage migration use these helpers and preserve established values and explicit-reset baselines.

Changes: Renderer preference migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preference-envelope parsing and merging
src/shared/rendererPreferences.ts, src/shared/rendererPreferences.test.ts
New helpers parse valid preference envelopes and merge incoming values without replacing existing values on conflicts. Tests cover malformed envelopes, empty maps, and explicit-reset baselines.
Durable settings migration
src/main/durableRendererSettings.ts, src/main/durableRendererSettings.test.ts
Migration merges incoming established preferences with stored preferences. The test checks that existing values remain and an export marker is added.
Web storage preference repair
src/main/webStorageOriginMigration.ts, src/main/webStorageOriginMigration.test.ts
Migration rebuilds preference maps from map and top-level values. Existing map values are retained unless current-origin top-level values override them. Envelope removal preserves reset baselines and removes other differing envelopes.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: cj-vana

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 4d27f

Origin repair can copy inline credentials from legacy app settings into the rendererPreferences recovery map, creating an extra plaintext copy. Sanitize current-origin values before merging them. The earlier concern about stale exported values overriding current choices is fixed.

Preserve current canonical preference values during repair.

When repairStorage merges the current map with the recovery export, an export-only top-level key remains in the merged entries. withRebuiltPreferenceMap then lets that old scalar overwrite the current map value. Track whether each top-level value came from the current origin before allowing it to override the canonical map.

The existing test covers only export-only keys filling gaps. It does not cover a conflict between a current map value and an old exported scalar.

override the canonical map in withRebuiltPreferenceMap. Preserve the existing
behavior where export-only keys fill gaps, and ensure a conflicting export-only
scalar cannot replace a current map value.

Origin repair may gap-fill export-only keys, but only current-origin
top-level caches may override an established preference map entry.

Sanitize current-origin (and gap-fill) preference caches before they enter
the recovery map so repair cannot create another plaintext credential copy.
