Post-#137 desktop polish, split into three logical commits.

1. WKWebView stale-layer hover controls

The studio audit rows' hover-revealed controls (details / reveal buttons) stayed painted after the pointer left on the macOS desktop build — visible pixels with a computed opacity of 0, reproducible only in the Tauri WKWebView.

Root cause: transition-opacity on the reveal container promotes it to its own GPU compositing layer; WKWebView caches that layer's bitmap and never recomposites when the opacity returns to 0. The render tree is correct — only the composited pixels are stale (a Vue re-render was the only thing that cleared them).

Fix: a .tauri-gated stylesheet disables the opacity transition on the affected controls (audit reveal containers + audio play button) in the desktop build, so there's no promoted layer to cache. Web keeps the fades.

2. Launch splash + non-blocking session restore + modal titlebar

Startup no longer shows a blank window behind the keychain prompt.

  • Non-blocking restore — the stored token is read from the OS keychain after first paint (deferred past mount) and without awaiting, so the prompt's process-modal no longer freezes the first frame behind a white window. desktopToken is reactive, so the SDK client rebuilds and the auth guard re-runs once it lands.
  • Restore staterestoringDesktopAuth holds the auth guard (no login-screen flash for a returning user) and re-evaluates once the read settles.
  • Launch splash — a branded loading screen matching the login page's composition during the restore window.
  • Modal chrome over the titlebar — portalled dialog/sheet overlays start below the reserved title-bar band; the drag strip + nav re-enable pointer events (reka's DismissableLayer sets body pointer-events: none); the titlebar cancels pointerDownOutside so clicking it no longer dismisses an open modal.
  • no-select plugin — blocks selectstart outside inputs/editables so the desktop app doesn't highlight like a web page.
  • error.vue — the unreachable-server "Try again" does a soft retry instead of a white-flashing full reload.

3. Input sizing + sidebar density

  • Input / Textarea / SelectTrigger add md:text-sm (16px mobile to avoid iOS focus-zoom, 14px desktop) — fixes oversized search/form text at the primitive level for all consumers.
  • Denser sidebar: tighter row gaps, text-sm font-medium menu buttons.

Testing

  • Typecheck (all workspaces) ✓ · Biome ✓ (1 pre-existing warning in an untouched file) · i18n: 0 unused ✓
  • Manually verified on macOS desktop: hover controls clear, audio selection/play button no longer ghost, splash paints before the keychain prompt, no login flash for a signed-in user.

Hover-revealed controls in the studio audit surfaces (details / reveal
buttons) stayed painted after the pointer left on the macOS desktop
build — visible pixels with a computed opacity of 0. It reproduced only
in the Tauri WKWebView, never in a browser.

Root cause: `transition-opacity` on the reveal container promotes it to
its own GPU compositing layer, and WKWebView caches that layer's bitmap
and never recomposites it when the opacity returns to 0. The render tree
is correct; only the composited pixels are stale (which is why a Vue
re-render — e.g. toggling a checkbox — was the only thing that cleared
them).

Fix: a `.tauri`-gated stylesheet disables the opacity transition on the
affected controls (audit reveal containers and the audio play button) in
the desktop build, so there is no promoted layer to cache. The web build
never loads it and keeps the fades.

…fixes

Startup no longer shows a blank window behind the keychain prompt. The
stored session token is read from the OS keychain after first paint
(deferred past mount) and without blocking the app: reading it can raise
a system password prompt whose modal freezes the webview's first frame,
so awaiting it during plugin init left a white window behind the prompt.

- Non-blocking restore: `desktop-auth` fires the keychain read on
  `app:mounted` (after paint) and injects the token when it resolves;
  `desktopToken` is reactive so the SDK client rebuilds and the auth
  guard re-runs once it lands.
- Restore state: `useDesktopAuth` exposes `restoringDesktopAuth`. The
  auth guard holds instead of bouncing a returning user to login while
  the token is still being read, and re-evaluates once it settles.
- Launch splash: app.vue shows a branded loading screen (matching the
  login page's composition) during the restore window instead of blank.
- Modal chrome over the titlebar: portalled dialog/sheet overlays start
  below the reserved title-bar band, and the drag strip + nav re-enable
  pointer events (reka's DismissableLayer sets body `pointer-events:
  none`); the titlebar cancels `pointerDownOutside` so clicking it no
  longer dismisses an open modal.
- Text selection: a `no-select` plugin blocks `selectstart` outside
  inputs/editables so the desktop app doesn't highlight like a web page.
- error.vue: the unreachable-server "Try again" does a soft retry
  (clearError redirect) instead of a full reload that white-flashes.

- Input / Textarea / SelectTrigger primitives add `md:text-sm`: 16px on
  mobile (prevents iOS focus-zoom), 14px from md up, so search and form
  fields no longer render oversized on desktop. Fixes it at the primitive
  level for every consumer rather than per call site.
- Sidebar density: tighter row gaps and `text-sm font-medium` menu
  buttons for a more information-dense nav.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Desktop startup now restores authentication after mount and delays protected-route redirects until restoration completes. The change also updates desktop title-bar behavior, retry navigation, text selection, hover controls, and console component styling.

Changes

Desktop startup and authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deferred desktop authentication restoration
packages/console/app/composables/useDesktopAuth.ts, apps/desktop/app/plugins/desktop-auth.client.ts, packages/console/app/middleware/auth.global.ts, apps/desktop/app/app.vue, packages/console/i18n/locales/*.json
Desktop authentication exposes restoration state, reads the keychain after mount, delays protected-route redirects, and displays a localized splash until restoration completes.

Desktop interface behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Title-bar and desktop window interaction
apps/desktop/app/components/AppTitlebar.vue, apps/desktop/app/assets/css/titlebar.css, apps/desktop/app/plugins/no-select.client.ts, apps/desktop/app/assets/css/studio-hover.css, apps/desktop/nuxt.config.ts
Title-bar interactions no longer dismiss modal layers. Desktop overlays, selection behavior, hover controls, pointer events, and title-bar stacking use Tauri-specific rules.
Unreachable-server retry handling
apps/desktop/app/error.vue
The unreachable-server retry action clears the error and navigates to / without reloading the webview.

Console component styling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Responsive console control styling
packages/console/app/components/ui/input/Input.vue, packages/console/app/components/ui/select/SelectTrigger.vue, packages/console/app/components/ui/textarea/Textarea.vue, packages/console/app/components/ui/sidebar/*
Inputs, selects, and textareas use responsive medium-screen typography. Sidebar spacing and menu button font weights are updated.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e247d

Desktop launches through authentication deep links can either lose the newly supplied session token or lose the user’s intended protected destination after sign-in. These startup flows should be corrected before merge.

to route.fullPath, then pass the validated value as the redirect query parameter
when navigating to /auth/login, omitting the query when validation returns no
value.

In `@apps/desktop/app/plugins/desktop-auth.client.ts`:
- Line 58: Update the deferred token restoration chain around
setDesktopAuthToken so a late auth_token read cannot overwrite a token received
through the auth://token deep-link listener; track whether the deep-link handler
has updated auth state and ignore the restore callback once it has, while
preserving normal restoration when no deep-link token arrives.

…ver restore

Address PR review:
- The restore-settled watcher now preserves the held route via
  `safeRedirectPath`, passing it as the `redirect` query so login returns
  the user to their intended destination (e.g. a deep-link launch onto
  /join/[code]) — matching the global auth middleware.
- Guard the deferred keychain restore against clobbering a token that
  arrived first via the `auth://token` deep link: Tauri doesn't order the
  `auth_token` read against the event, so a cold launch from sign-in
  could otherwise have a late restore overwrite the fresh token. The
  restore callback now bails once a deep-link token has set auth state.
