Fixes 11 reported issues. Each area was traced to a shared root cause rather than patched per-report.

Closes #642, closes #533, closes #501, closes #637, closes #632, closes #630, closes #629, closes #626, closes #608, closes #606.

Rendering

#642 / #533 — LaTeX — Complex expressions rendered as whiteout, glitched pmatrix, and leaked literal amp into matrix cells. Block equations now go through the compatible MathJax SVG renderer and are horizontally centered, matching Open WebUI and typical Markdown behavior.

#501 — Greek lowercase omega — The bundled Geist faces mapped ω to the uppercase Ω glyph, so φωτογραφίες rendered as φΩτογραφίες. Copy/paste was unaffected, confirming a font bug. Fonts rebuilt.

Voice

#632 — Crash on live chat without mic permission — The Android foreground service was started before requesting the microphone permission, crashing immediately. Permission is now requested first, matching the existing mic-button flow.

#630 — Model talks to itself — Local STT deliberately stayed active during TTS playback, so the model's own speech was recognized as input and looped. STT now stops while TTS plays. Per the request, barge-in is off by default and opt-in under Audio settings, and the voice overlay gained a speakerphone toggle wired to the platform audio route.

Connections

#629 — HTTPS restriction blocked Headscale/Tailscale — Plaintext HTTP was rejected for anything outside localhost and a private-IP allowlist, which blocked CGNAT (100.64/10) VPN addresses. Per follow-up direction, the restriction is removed entirely rather than widened, and the header/TLS controls are centralized: custom request headers and the self-signed certificate toggle now apply to Hermes (both backend modes) and direct connections through one shared transport configurator, mirroring Open WebUI. Plaintext is still refused when mTLS client material is configured, since that combination is incoherent.

#637 — Hermes connects but loads no toolsets — The connection check only probed the unauthenticated /health endpoint, so a server that failed authenticated discovery still displayed "Connected" with "No status reported". Tests now exercise /v1/capabilities and /v1/toolsets with the bearer token.

#606 — Authelia login never loads — Reverse-proxy sign-in now uses the real WebView identity and cookie store, so the login page resolves instead of spinning forever.

Terminal

#626 — Download opens the share sheet — "Download" was literally wired to the share sheet. It now opens the native save dialog.

#608display_file does nothing — The terminal:display_file event was dropped by the chat event handler. It is now routed into the existing Terminal files panel and opens the text/image preview.

Not included

#590 (Conduit appears in the Contacts call menu) is intentionally not fixed. The initial fix removed the voip background mode and disabled CallKit, but that regresses background calling, so it was reverted per follow-up direction. This needs a different approach that keeps CallKit and VoIP intact.

Incidental

main was already red before this branch. Nine failures are fixed here, all stale test expectations rather than product bugs:

Verification

flutter analyze lib test clean. Full suite: 5453 passed, 0 failures. New regression coverage for voice permission ordering, default no-barge-in, authenticated Hermes discovery, custom headers reaching the server, terminal event dispatch, and the reported LaTeX source.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added speakerphone controls and voice barge-in settings for voice mode.
    • Added Hermes transport settings for custom headers and self-signed certificates.
    • Terminal sessions can display files requested during conversations.
    • Downloads can now be saved directly to the device.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved microphone permission handling and recovery after text-to-speech errors.
    • Improved LaTeX rendering and centering.
    • Updated connection testing and authentication behavior for broader HTTP configurations.

Greptile Summary

This update improves voice-mode recovery, speakerphone routing, Hermes connectivity, terminal file display, downloads, and Markdown rendering.

Credentials can now be configured for arbitrary public http:// endpoints, allowing API keys and session credentials to be sent without transport encryption.

T-Rex validation blocked

The Flutter and Dart tools are missing from the environment. The focused Flutter tests and the authored Dart runtime check both exited with code 127, so the credential-dispatch path could not be executed here.

Confidence Score: 3/5

Do not merge until credential-bearing connections again require encrypted transport outside explicitly trusted local-network endpoints.

A blocking security failure remains: API credentials may be sent to arbitrary public HTTP endpoints without TLS.

Files Needing Attention: lib/features/direct_connections/models/direct_connection_profile.dart, lib/features/hermes/models/hermes_config.dart

Security Review

Public HTTP endpoints can retain and use API credentials after the credential transport restrictions were removed from both direct connections and Hermes configuration. A network attacker on the route to a configured public HTTP server could intercept those credentials.

T-Rex T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

  • T-Rex attempted the focused Flutter tests for direct_profile_security_test.dart and hermes_settings_test.dart, alongside the credential-transport runtime check, but both paths exited 127 because flutter and dart were not found.
  • The before/after logs show the exact failure messages: /bin/sh: 5: flutter: not found and EXIT_CODE: 127; following that, /bin/sh: 5: dart: not found and EXIT_CODE: 127.
  • T-Rex produced a proof for a posted P1 finding, and the reviewer can consult the corresponding review comment for details.

  1. General comment

    P1 Plaintext API credentials are accepted for arbitrary public HTTP endpoints

    • Bug
      • Current validation accepts public HTTP URLs with API keys, but runtime confirmation remains blocked because Dart and Flutter are unavailable.
    • Cause
      • The previously present credential transport policy checks were removed from DirectConnectionProfile and HermesConfig validation.
    • Fix
      • Restore a shared policy that only permits credential-bearing HTTP for loopback/private addresses and requires HTTPS for public origins.

Greptile also left 1 inline comment on this PR.

LaTeX (#642, #533): render complex MathJax SVGs through the compatible
renderer so underbrace/boxed/pmatrix no longer glitch or leak `amp`, and
center block equations horizontally.

Fonts (#501): rebuild the bundled Geist faces, which mapped lowercase
Greek omega to the uppercase glyph.

Hermes (#637): connection tests now exercise authenticated capability and
toolset discovery instead of the unauthenticated health endpoint, so a
server that only answers /health no longer reports "connected".

Voice (#632): request microphone permission before starting the Android
foreground service, which crashed when permission had never been granted.

Voice (#630): stop local STT while TTS plays so the model no longer hears
itself. Barge-in is off by default and opt-in from Audio settings, and the
voice overlay gains a speakerphone toggle.

Transport (#629): drop the plaintext-HTTP restriction for Hermes and
direct connections. Tailscale/Headscale CGNAT addresses and other private
networks were rejected outright. Custom headers and the self-signed
certificate toggle are now shared by all backends via a single Hermes
transport configurator.

Terminal (#626): download now opens the native save dialog instead of the
share sheet.

Terminal (#608): route the `terminal:display_file` event into the Terminal
files panel rather than dropping it in the chat event handler.

Auth (#606): drive reverse-proxy login through the real WebView identity
and cookie store so Authelia and similar providers finish sign-in.

Also fixes pre-existing test failures on main: three assertions still
expected the single-newline block join replaced in #641, and six expected
the "Delete connection" button label renamed to "Delete" in #628.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2fb65

This PR removes HTTPS restrictions for credentialed connections and centralizes transport settings, but plaintext HTTP can expose credentials and certificate-policy changes may not affect active requests. Terminal downloads may also fail for certain platform-reserved filenames. These bounded security and compatibility risks need explicit owner follow-up before merge.

Not applying this one — the removal was deliberate, not an oversight.

This came from #629, where a user on a Headscale/Tailscale network could not add their llama.cpp server at all. The follow-up direction on that report was explicit: "remove restriction on http entirely ... and add the same headers and tls bypass perms like openwebui. probably centralize it for all backends."

The suggestion to gate on a "verified private/VPN policy" is what the code did before, and it is exactly what failed. The old allowlist tried to infer trust from the address literal, but a Tailscale CGNAT address (100.64/10), a Headscale MagicDNS name, or a split-horizon hostname are indistinguishable from public ones at validation time. Widening the allowlist just moves the goalpost to the next VPN topology.

More importantly, this restriction was never the real control: Open WebUI, the primary backend, already accepts plaintext HTTP with credentials for any host. Keeping a stricter rule on direct connections and Hermes only made the app inconsistent without protecting anything the user had not already chosen by typing an http:// URL for their own self-hosted server.

What is still enforced, and what I kept:

  • Plaintext is refused when mTLS client material is configured (_hasTlsCredentialMaterial), since shipping a client certificate over cleartext is incoherent rather than merely risky.
  • Credentials remain origin-bound and are cleared on origin change.
  • Trusting an unverified certificate stays opt-in per server and scoped to that host/port.

Happy to revisit if you want an explicit "I understand this is unencrypted" confirmation toggle, but that is a product decision for @cogwheel0, not something to reintroduce as a hard block in this PR.

Speakerphone on Android: setSpeakerphoneOn is deprecated and no-ops on
Android 12+ once a communication device is selected, which the voice
session does for Bluetooth SCO. The toggle rendered but never changed the
route. Select the built-in speaker as the communication device instead,
keeping the legacy call as the pre-31 fallback, and tear down the active
SCO route before re-routing so a headset cannot keep owning playback.

Voice: treat TtsError as a terminal assistant-speech event. With barge-in
disabled the recognizer is stopped for playback and only TtsCompleted
restarted it, so a failed TTS request left voice mode active with no way
to accept the next utterance.

Hermes: cancel active runs when certificate trust changes. A trust-only
edit rebuilt the transport while old cancellation tokens stayed live.

Terminal: sanitize the download file name, which comes from the server's
Content-Disposition header, before passing it to the save dialog.

Hermes settings: use the existing headerName/headerValue/addHeader/
removeHeader localizations instead of hardcoded English.

Adds coverage for the speakerphone toggle, TTS-error recovery, and
HttpClient forwarding through the desktop RPC channel factory.

Review feedback addressed (3771eeef)

Thanks both. Five of seven findings were valid and are fixed; two are answered inline with reasoning.

Android speakerphone — root cause was deeper than the review found. CodeRabbit flagged that setSpeakerphoneEnabled never tore down the active Bluetooth route. Correct, but investigating it surfaced a bigger problem: setSpeakerphoneOn is deprecated and is a no-op on Android 12+ once a communication device is selected — which the voice session does for Bluetooth SCO. So the toggle rendered on Android but never actually changed the route, regardless of Bluetooth. Fixed by selecting the built-in speaker via setCommunicationDevice (API 31+), keeping the legacy call as the pre-31 fallback (minSdk is 24, and the plugin throws ApiException(31) which the existing _safeAndroidRouteCall swallows into the fallback). The Bluetooth teardown from the original comment is included, and re-routing now goes through _configureAndroidVoiceRoute so enable and disable are symmetric.

TtsError left voice mode stranded (Greptile P1) — valid and confirmed by test. With barge-in disabled the recognizer is stopped for playback and only TtsCompleted restarted it, so a failed TTS request left voice mode active with no way to accept the next utterance. TtsError is now terminal for the assistant turn. Verified the new test fails without the fix.

Cancel active runs on trust change — valid. Added to serviceWillRotate, but deliberately not to identityChanged, since a trust edit rebuilds the transport without touching credentials and should not trigger credential rotation.

Sanitize the download filename — valid; it comes from the server's Content-Disposition header. Reused the existing sanitizer rather than adding a second one.

Localize the header controls — valid. Note these strings were pre-existing hardcoded English that this PR moved between files, not new ones. headerName, headerValue, addHeader, and removeHeader already existed in the ARB, so no new keys were needed.

Not applied: the direct-connection HTTP restriction (that removal is the actual fix for #629, per explicit direction) and the Riverpod codegen migration (would diverge from the file's existing convention). Both answered inline.

On the "out of scope" pre-merge warning: the direct-connection deletion test changes are not new behavior — main was already red before this branch. 332f0c75 renamed that button from 'Delete connection' to l10n.delete without updating six tests, and 75cc5443/ea82ee16 landed a conflicting Markdown block-join change. Those nine failures are fixed here so this PR can be verified at all.

Verification: flutter analyze lib test clean, full suite 5456 passed / 0 failures (up from 5453; three new tests covering the speakerphone toggle, TTS-error recovery, and HttpClient forwarding through the desktop RPC channel factory).

`.` and `..` survive character sanitization but name a directory rather
than a file, so writing them throws instead of producing a download. Use
the timestamp fallback for those, and cover the sanitizer directly.

Windows reserved device names are not handled: this app ships only iOS and
Android targets.

P1 security Plaintext credential transport is allowed

The removed host restriction means a profile such as http://api.example.test/v1 with an API key now passes validation unless it also uses TLS client material. The same restriction was removed from HermesConfig.connectionOrigin, so Hermes credentials can also be retained for arbitrary public HTTP origins. These services attach credentials to requests, allowing anyone able to observe the network path to capture API keys or session credentials. Restore the shared credential-transport policy so credential-bearing HTTP is limited to deliberately trusted local endpoints and public services require HTTPS.

Acknowledged, and this is an accurate description of the change — the restriction was removed deliberately, not by oversight. Flagging it to @cogwheel0 rather than reverting unilaterally, since it was explicitly requested.

Context: this is the fix for #629, where a user on a Headscale/Tailscale network could not add their llama.cpp server at all. The direction on that report was "remove restriction on http entirely ... and add the same headers and tls bypass perms like openwebui. probably centralize it for all backends."

Two reasons the old policy did not deliver the protection it appeared to:

  1. It could not classify the traffic it was meant to protect. A Tailscale CGNAT address (100.64/10), a Headscale MagicDNS name, and a split-horizon internal hostname are indistinguishable from public ones at validation time. The allowlist rejected genuinely encrypted WireGuard-tunnelled traffic while permitting plaintext on any RFC1918 LAN, which is not obviously safer.
  2. It was not applied consistently. Open WebUI, the primary backend, has always accepted plaintext HTTP with credentials for any host. The rule applied only to direct connections and Hermes, so it made the app inconsistent without closing the path.

Still enforced: plaintext is refused when mTLS client material is present, credentials stay origin-bound and are cleared on origin change, and trusting an unverified certificate remains opt-in per server and scoped to host/port.

@cogwheel0 — if you would rather not ship the unrestricted form, the natural middle ground is an explicit per-profile acknowledgement ("I understand credentials will be sent unencrypted") that unblocks VPN users without silently allowing plaintext credentials to a public host. That is a product decision, so say the word and I will implement it.

Your argument holds — the old policy had a real classification problem. A Tailscale MagicDNS hostname or CGNAT address is opaque at validation time, so the allowlist was blocking legitimately private traffic while providing weaker guarantees than it appeared to offer. The Open WebUI inconsistency compounds that: the restriction was creating friction without meaningfully closing the threat model.

That said, the underlying risk is real even if the old guard was poorly calibrated. Credentials reaching a misconfigured or attacker-controlled public HTTP endpoint is a concrete harm, and "we didn't protect the OWI path either" is an argument for fixing OWI too, not for shipping both unguarded.

The explicit acknowledgement approach is the right call. It:

  • Unblocks VPN users without any policy gymnastics
  • Makes the risk legible to the person who actually knows whether their endpoint is on a trusted private network
  • Matches how other security-sensitive tools (curl's --insecure, Postman's certificate warning, mTLS bypass prompts) handle the same tradeoff

For the implementation, a bool requiresPlaintextAcknowledgement flag on the profile — set when scheme == 'http' and any credential field is non-empty, and validated before save — would be the minimal surface. The acknowledgement text should be specific: "Credentials will be sent without TLS encryption. Only proceed if this address is on a private or VPN network you control."

If you want to go ahead with that, say the word and I can draft the validation change and the acknowledgement UI.
