Conversation
Avoid unrelated third-party apt repositories on hosted runners and let all platform checks finish independently. Keep normal developer setup unchanged.
Reuse the existing file pane and tab chrome for manual HTTP(S) navigation and automatic previews from new loopback server output. Deduplicate server origins and preserve conversation focus and workspace restoration. Keep Wry children outside the Tauri registry and command bridge, with pane-bound visibility, geometry, focus notification and cleanup. Cover URL handling, output detection and native bridge lifecycle in tests.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds local development browser previews detected from terminal output. The feature stores browser tabs, renders native Wry webviews, synchronizes their lifecycle with React, and exposes preview controls. CI also gains explicit APT source handling and non-fail-fast matrix execution. ChangesBrowser preview workflow

Route terminal previews to the owning workspace tab.
TerminalView emits LocalPreview without its terminal identity. useLocalPreviews forwards only the event detail, so onLocalPreview falls back to activeTabIdRef.current. A mounted terminal in an inactive workspace tab can open its preview in the active tab.
Preserve the source terminal identity and resolve the owning tab through its terminal pane. Add a regression test with one terminal in each of two workspace tabs.

Preserve diffFocused for automatic previews.
If entry.diffFocused is true, openBrowserTab returns diffFocused: false. Line 3430 restores only focusedId, so terminal output exits the focused diff view. Preserve entry.diffFocused here.

+ diffFocused: entry.diffFocused,

Restrict drag suppression to real drags.
down runs for every pointerdown captured at the window. It sets dragging = true, so bounds() returns null and sync() hides the native view. up then shows it again. A single click anywhere in the application, including the preview toolbar and the address field, makes the preview blink.
Set dragging only when the pointer actually moves while a button is held, or only when the pointerdown target is a pane splitter or drag handle.
🐛 Proposed fix using a movement threshold
- const down = () => {
- dragging = true;
- sync();
- };
+ let pointerDown = false;
+ const down = () => {
+ pointerDown = true;
+ };
+ const move = () => {
+ if (!pointerDown || dragging) return;
+ dragging = true;
+ sync();
+ };
const up = () => {
+ pointerDown = false;
dragging = false;
schedule();
};Register and remove move with window.addEventListener("pointermove", move, true) alongside the existing listeners.

Thanks for exploring this @yankawai We’re still validating whether browser support belongs in MonoCode through Discussion #153, and we haven’t accepted the product direction yet. The discussion also asks about an agent-interactable browser, while this PR implements a human-facing preview, so we need to settle the intended scope first. Please pause further work for now, we can revisit the implementation after the poll has had time to gather meaningful feedback. |

What changed
Adds an HTTP(S) preview in the existing right-hand file pane, with the normal surface tab, theme colors and title-bar action. The compact toolbar supports address entry, back/forward, reload and opening the page in the default browser.
Related to #145. This is a draft for the built-in preview direction discussed there; native interaction and visual checks are still pending.
Why
When a frontend starts in a session or the project terminal, inspecting it currently requires leaving the conversation. New shell/terminal output can now open a loopback server preview without changing the conversation's typing focus. Repeated output is deduplicated per workspace tab, including after closing the preview; historical transcripts are not replayed. External addresses require manual navigation.
The native view follows pane visibility and size, suspends beneath application dialogs, menus and approval toasts, and closes with its pane/window. Restoring a workspace keeps an empty Browser tab rather than revisiting an old address.
The preview uses the Wry version already in Tauri's lockfile. It is outside Tauri's managed webview registry so existing
WebviewWindowcommands and window/quit handling keep their current behavior. Web content gets no Tauri command bridge or application custom protocols; its only message handler accepts a focus notification. App/file/script URLs and credentials in URLs are rejected. Popup and download requests display an external-browser hint. The application CSP is unchanged.This initial surface does not add an agent DOM-automation API, a provider, or an extension host.
UI
Reuses
FilePane,SurfaceTabs, the title-bar icon-button style and existing theme tokens. Native screenshots, page interaction, resizing, focus and overlay checks remain outstanding before this draft can become ready for review. Unit tests mock the native bridge and do not establish desktop runtime behavior.Validation
npm run check: 1,452 web tests and 229 Rust tests passed locally, including TypeScript, formatting and Clippy.npm run buildpassed locally.8e11c7e.A separate CI-only commit scopes Ubuntu package installation to its official source file, avoiding the unrelated third-party apt hash mismatch also addressed in #139 and #146. It keeps package verification enabled and lets all three matrix jobs finish independently.
