on Sep 24, 2026 Progress on Servers (settings page):
- Settings API to open setup for adding or removing servers (#253) #437: setup request hook,
setup.availablein GET /api/settings, POST /api/settings/servers/setup (202) - Open setup from the settings page through the tray session (#253) #438: tray session opens setup when the settings page asks
- Servers section on the settings page (#253) #439: Servers section lists configured servers, with a button that opens setup to add or remove them
Still open: setup currently starts from its own draft rather than config.json, and Finish rewrites config.json from the draft. The setup lane is fixing seeding/merge/clearing. Until then, adding a server through setup can drop existing ones. Updates section is still parked.
- Settings API to open setup for adding or removing servers (#253) #437: setup request hook,
Update: the setup-draft caveat above is closed by #440 and #441 (on main at d69828d). Setup now seeds from the installed config and Finish merges into it, so adding or removing a server from the Servers section keeps existing servers and settings. The Servers part of this issue is complete. The Updates section is still parked.
Rowan (23 Sept): he wants a web UI for the app's settings instead of the native wizard. The native wizard stays for install/first launch only, and the web UI should let him see logs and similar diagnostics.
