- Selecting a row in the Profiles tab shows its Claude Desktop and Claude
Code dirs inline and selectable, instead of requiring a right-click
"Reveal in Finder" to find out where a profile actually lives.
- build.sh stamps Contents/Resources/COMMIT with the short HEAD SHA, left
empty when HEAD sits exactly on a tag (how a real release is built),
since the version number alone is unambiguous there. About appends it
when present, so two dev builds off the same VERSION are
distinguishable. The update checker still compares plain semver.
- Profile dot colours are picked per NSApp.effectiveAppearance at render
time: same hue either way, but full saturation with brightness split
per background (1.0 dark, 0.55 light), so they read as bold hues rather
than washing out on white or muddying against a dark menu.
Replaces the original shannoncoat.sh entirely with in-process Swift. The
script stopped earning its keep once the rest went native, and being a
persistent process rather than a one-shot CLI is what later makes live
window tracking possible at all.
- ProfileStore: JSON config at ~/.shannoncoat/<name>.json (was hand-rolled
YAML), with ~ expansion, paths relative to the config dir, and
name/dir-collision validation in one place.
- ProcessInspector: sysctl(KERN_PROC_ALL/KERN_PROCARGS2) enumeration
instead of shelling out to pgrep.
- ClaudeControl: launch via Process, focus via direct Accessibility calls
(unhide, un-minimize, poll-for-window, AXRaise) instead of AppleScript,
and a quit that respects Claude's own termination handling rather than
unconditionally SIGKILLing after a flat 5s timeout.
- LiveState: NSWorkspace notification-driven state with no polling timer,
so the menu bar reflects reality within about a second — including
changes made outside the app entirely.
- ManageWindow: one non-modal window replacing what would otherwise be a
string of separate popup alerts, with inline add/remove and directory
pickers.
- LaunchAtLogin / UpdateChecker: SMAppService login-item toggle, and a
minimal VERSION-file update check that alerts on a manual check and
posts a quiet notification on the automatic one.
Also drops the standalone CLI in favour of GUI-only, and adds a
placeholder app icon drawn from vector shapes rather than composited on
top of Claude's own icon assets.
Claude Desktop is located at runtime rather than assumed: a path the user
picked previously, then /Applications, then a per-user ~/Applications
install, each accepted only if it actually contains the executable. If
none match, launching a profile asks the user to locate it once and
remembers the answer — a launch that silently does nothing gives them no
way to work out what's wrong.
