Summary
Add multiple native desktop windows that share the same conversations and engine. Users can keep the same chat open in several windows or work on different chats, with independent drafts, navigation, scrolling, and panels.
Behavior
zeron --new-window.Implementation and persistence
Application/runtime ownership is separate from each window's state. Conversation subscriptions are shared, settings merge through one writer, and application services coordinate notifications, lifecycle, launch forwarding, and native window entry points.
Cold launches restore the main window. Extra window identities and drafts remain session-local. macOS keeps the application alive after the last window closes; Windows/Linux exit. A separately running engine daemon survives GUI shutdown.
Validation
ZERON_DATA_DIR="$HOME/.zeron-dev"andZERON_IPC_PORT=27655: same chat in two windows, independent draft, switching one window to another chat, the command palette, and closing/reopening a window.Screenshots
Captured from the running development app on Fedora GNOME/Wayland. Images are uploaded GitHub attachments; no screenshot files are committed to the repository.
The same conversation in two windows, with a draft only in the right window:
Different conversations selected independently, sharing the same history sidebar:
New window in the command palette, alongside the unchanged new-project shortcut:
