Fixes #7742

What Changed

  • Added a Check spelling toggle and desktop dictionary picker under Settings → Appearance.
  • Windows and Linux now offer every language reported by Electron's current session; macOS keeps its native automatic language detection and does not show the no-op picker.
  • Automatic mode prioritizes the active Windows input method, includes other installed Windows methods, and on Linux reads XKB layouts/variants plus /etc/vconsole.conf and /etc/default/keyboard.
  • If no supported dictionary matches, the session disables spellcheck instead of allowing Electron's silent en-US fallback.
  • Spellcheck is only reapplied when its settings change; settings persist/apply operations are serialized so stale automatic discovery cannot overwrite a newer choice.
  • Restore defaults now resets both spelling settings.

Why

The packaged app can resolve to en-US even when the user types Portuguese or uses a Brazilian keyboard. Electron also treats an empty dictionary list as en-US, so simply clearing the list preserves the false-positive underlines. The app now resolves only supported dictionaries and fails closed when none match.

Related: #2554 requested a disable toggle. #4254 enabled native composer underlines but did not configure their language.

UI Changes

Before: Appearance had no spelling control.

After:

Check spelling setting with automatic and per-dictionary controls

The picker is populated from session.availableSpellCheckerLanguages, so it reflects the Electron build instead of a truncated hardcoded list.

Validation

  • All 599 desktop tests pass, including focused Windows-language and concurrent-settings regressions.
  • Affected desktop and web packages typecheck.
  • The full repository lint passes with only pre-existing warnings.
  • Manually verified the Linux desktop Appearance screen and dynamic dictionary list; refreshed the UI screenshot above.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused on one desktop spellcheck issue
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included a screenshot for the UI change
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes (n/a, no motion)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added desktop spellcheck with automatic language detection and platform-aware dictionary selection.
    • Added “Check spelling” settings, searchable settings access, language selection, and reset-to-default support.
    • Spellcheck preferences now apply to the composer and newly opened desktop windows.
    • macOS uses automatic detection; other supported platforms can select available dictionaries.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved locale normalization, unsupported-dictionary handling, and concurrent settings updates.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for configuring spellcheck languages and keyboard layouts.

Note

Configure composer spellcheck languages on desktop from OS preferences

  • Adds a cross-platform spellcheck language discovery layer in ElectronSpellcheck.ts that reads OS language preferences via ElectronApp.preferredSystemLanguages, Linux XKB layouts, and Windows PowerShell keyboard queries.
  • Introduces spellcheckEnabled and spellcheckLanguages fields in settings.ts with validation (non-empty tags, max 35 chars each, defaults to enabled with automatic detection).
  • Adds a SpellcheckRow component in SettingsPanels.tsx under Appearance → Typography, letting users toggle spellcheck and select dictionaries; macOS hides language selection.
  • New synchronous IPC channel GET_SPELLCHECK_INFO_CHANNEL exposes available dictionaries to the renderer; setClientSettings serializes writes and re-syncs the BrowserWindow spellchecker on relevant changes.
  • ComposerPromptEditor binds the spellCheck DOM attribute to settings.spellcheckEnabled; new windows asynchronously sync spellchecker state via syncBrowserWindowSpellChecker without blocking startup.
  • Risk: DesktopWindow now requires FileSystem and ChildProcessSpawner services in its runtime context; Linux language discovery reads from XKB config paths and Windows spawns a PowerShell process with a timeout, which could fail silently on misconfigured systems.

Macroscope summarized f52900d.

The packaged app pins Chromium to en-US, so correct Portuguese (and other)
composer text is marked wrong when the OS locale is English. Infer Hunspell
languages from the OS locale plus the keyboard layout, never set an empty
dictionary list, and add a Settings toggle to disable or pick dictionaries.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds persisted spellcheck settings, platform language discovery, Electron session synchronization, synchronous IPC access, and web controls. It uses explicit languages, keyboard layouts, system preferences, and platform-specific behavior.

Changes

Desktop spellcheck configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Spellcheck settings and IPC contracts
packages/contracts/src/settings.ts, packages/contracts/src/ipc.ts, packages/contracts/src/*test.ts
Adds validated spellcheck settings and a contract for available spellchecker languages.
Language discovery and session application
apps/desktop/src/electron/*, apps/desktop/src/app/*test.ts, apps/desktop/src/telemetry/*test.ts, apps/desktop/src/window/DesktopApplicationMenu.test.ts
Normalizes system languages, parses keyboard layouts, resolves dictionaries, and applies platform-specific spellchecker sessions.
Window lifecycle and settings synchronization
apps/desktop/src/window/DesktopWindow*, apps/desktop/src/ipc/methods/clientSettings*
Synchronizes spellcheck settings for new windows and serialized client-setting updates.
Spellcheck information IPC
apps/desktop/src/ipc/channels.ts, apps/desktop/src/ipc/DesktopIpcHandlers.ts, apps/desktop/src/ipc/methods/window*, apps/desktop/src/preload.ts
Exposes platform capability and available dictionaries through synchronous IPC and the preload bridge.
Settings and composer controls
apps/web/src/components/settings/*, apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditor.tsx, docs/user/composer.md
Adds the spellcheck switch, dictionary selection, reset behavior, searchable settings entry, composer integration, and documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f5290

This change adds platform-aware spellcheck selection and persistence, but automatic detection can still choose the wrong dictionary for some bare ca keyboard layouts, and the unavailable-dictionary state is not fully exposed to assistive technologies. A failed synchronization can also leave saved and active spellcheck settings temporarily different, so merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Effect service conventions review of the changed TypeScript: one finding in apps/desktop/src/electron/ElectronSpellcheck.ts (failure modeled as an untagged object literal instead of a Schema.TaggedErrorClass). The rest of the touched Effect code (namespace imports from effect/*, dependency acquisition via yield* Foo.Foo, no new ManagedRuntime/runPromise in service code, Schema additions in packages/contracts/src/settings.ts) looks consistent with the conventions.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a complete spellcheck configuration feature for the desktop composer, including cross-platform keyboard/locale detection, new settings fields, new IPC channels, and new UI controls. The scope (~1400 lines of new functionality) represents a significant new capability rather than a simple fix.

You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.

Disable Chromium's English fallback when no dictionary matches and expose every platform-supported dictionary without truncation.

350-354: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Bind settings with const to remove reliance on captured-let narrowing.

settings is a let of type SpellcheckSettings | undefined. The closures at lines 374 and 384 read settings.spellcheckEnabled and settings.spellcheckLanguages. Those reads depend on TypeScript narrowing a captured mutable binding. A later edit that reassigns settings after the closures are created would silently reintroduce a possible undefined access.

Resolve the value into a single immutable binding instead.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-    let settings = settingsOverride;
-    if (settings === undefined) {
-      const clientSettings = yield* DesktopClientSettings.DesktopClientSettings;
-      settings = Option.getOrElse(yield* clientSettings.get, () => DEFAULT_CLIENT_SETTINGS);
-    }

UI consistency review of the in-scope web changes (ComposerPromptEditor.tsx, settings/SettingsPanels.tsx, settings/settingsSearch.ts).

The new spellcheck UI reuses the shared primitives correctly (Switch for the row control, Checkbox inside a <label> matching the existing pairing-scope list in ConnectionsSettings.tsx, SettingResetButton, SettingsRow slots, theme tokens only, catalog-driven anchor id/title), and the composer only forwards spellCheck to the existing Lexical ContentEditable without touching its class contract. One spacing/geometry deviation from the SettingsRow children contract is noted inline.

- Around line 1424-1433: Update the spellcheck language selection flow around
the onCheckedChange handler so rapid sequential selections merge against the
latest settings state rather than a render-captured spellcheckLanguages array;
preserve both dictionary IDs when updates are serialized. Add a test covering
two selections made before the first update completes and assert both remain
selected.

Map bare ca to French (Canada).

spellcheckLanguageForKeyboardLayout currently maps bare ca to en-CA. Preserve the layout and variant together so ca selects fr, ca(eng) selects en-CA, and ca(fr-dvorak) selects fr. Add regression tests for all three cases.

Remove the redundant type annotation.

Line 494 infers string[] from the later push calls. Use const events = [] to follow the TypeScript guideline.

CodeRabbit nitpick on DesktopWindow.test.ts:494 was verified and intentionally not applied: changing const events: string[] = [] to const events = [] fails the desktop typecheck with TS7034 and TS7005 because the array crosses callback/control-flow boundaries before its type can be inferred. The explicit annotation is required under this repo’s noImplicitAny settings.
