fix(windows): wire CEF keyboard input routing on cold launch#1528
Conversation
On Windows + CEF, `tauri.conf.json` declares the main window with `visible: false` (so we can restore window state before the first paint). When `setup()` later calls `window.show()`, Windows transitions the window to the foreground but does not synthesize the `WM_SETFOCUS` that CEF's window subclass needs in order to fire `BrowserHost::OnSetFocus(true)` and propagate the focused state to the renderer. The renderer's `is_keyboard_input_target` flag is left in its initial `false` state. The user-visible symptom: cold launch -> click chat textarea -> cursor blinks (mouse routing works) but typing is silently dropped. The only known workaround was to click outside the app window and click back, which produces a real `WM_KILLFOCUS`+`WM_SETFOCUS` cycle that CEF's window handler observes as a state transition. Calling `webview.set_focus()` from Rust does not fix this: it dispatches `WebviewMessage::SetFocus` -> `host.set_focus(1)`, which is idempotent from CEF's host point of view (the host already considers itself focused because the OS window is foreground). CEF's renderer only wires keyboard routing on an observed state *transition*, not a state assertion. The fix mimics the manual click-outside / click-back gesture in code: 300ms after `window.show()`, spawn an async task that `minimize()`s the window (forces `WM_KILLFOCUS` -> `host.set_focus(0)`), waits 80ms for Windows to process the message, then `unminimize()`s (forces `WM_SETFOCUS` -> `host.set_focus(1)`). Trailing explicit `window.set_focus()` + `webview.set_focus()` calls serve as belt-and-suspenders in case the minimize/restore raced ahead of CEF's browser-create. Side effect: a brief minimize/restore animation (~120ms) immediately after the window first appears on cold launch. A cleaner fix would expose `BrowserHost::SetFocus(false)` in the vendored tauri-cef so we could cycle focus without touching window state, but that requires vendor surgery; this is the minimum viable change. Also pulls in the openhuman-1475 worktree's PATH/MSVC improvements to `scripts/run-dev-win.sh` so a clean checkout can `pnpm dev:app:win` without a pre-warm cache: probes Git-for-Windows install for cygpath when not on PATH, restores the Windows-side PATH that `/etc/profile` would otherwise wipe, and prepends the VS Installer dir to cmd's PATH before invoking vcvars64 (so vswhere is reachable and the Windows SDK LIB/INCLUDE entries land in the captured env).

The minimize/unminimize CEF focus-recovery cycle only addresses the Windows CEF integration's host-renderer focus desync (cold launch via `visible: false` window). macOS and Linux CEF route focus differently and don't exhibit the symptom, so running the cycle there would just flicker the window with no benefit. Wrap the deferred focus-cycle spawn in `#[cfg(target_os = "windows")]` per CodeRabbit feedback on tinyhumansai#1528. The `webview.set_focus()` addition in `show_main_window` stays unconditional — it's a single non-fatal call with no visible side effect, idempotent on platforms where the host already considers itself focused.

Review — fix(windows): wire CEF keyboard input routing on cold launch
Well-diagnosed bug with a clear root-cause analysis. The Rust changes are clean and error-safe. The run-dev-win.sh expansion is thorough and well-commented. Two items worth addressing before merge — see inline comments.
Verified / Looks Good
- No bare
.unwrap()— all ops useif let Errwithlog::warn! - No PII/secrets logged —
[focus-fix]lines only include Tauri error messages - No new JS injection in CEF webviews
- Consistent
[focus-fix]log prefix, matches existing[tray]/[window-state]/[cef-prewarm]patterns - vcvars PATH handling is correct (
pre_vcvars_pathcaptured before merge, NODEJS_DIR/CARGO_DIR prepended after) - CEF staging + PATH_PREFIX are belt-and-suspenders, don't conflict
--no-verifypush is disclosed and is for unrelated CRLF drift

[major] Focus cycle fires on all platforms, not just Windows
The minimize→unminimize cycle is unconditional — it runs on macOS and Linux too. On macOS this triggers a visible Genie/scale dock animation on every cold launch, which is a noticeable UX regression. The bug is Windows-only per the PR description ("macOS and Linux CEF integrations route focus differently and don't exhibit this bug").
This file already has plenty of #[cfg(target_os = "windows")] precedent. Suggest gating the cycle:
#[cfg(target_os = "windows")]

[major] Silent no-op when cmd.exe fallback fails
If neither cmd.exe nor cmd is on PATH, cmd_exe_for_path falls back to the literal string /c/Windows/System32/cmd.exe. If that path doesn't exist either (e.g. C: mounted differently), the entire Windows PATH restoration block is silently skipped — no log line. Contributors debugging missing node/cargo downstream get no trail pointing here.
Suggest adding an else branch:

[nitpick] The reference to cef_impl.rs line ~2081 will drift as the vendor evolves. Consider referencing by message name instead: cef_impl.rs → WebviewMessage::SetFocus handler.
- `run-dev-win.sh`: cmd.exe-not-found path was a silent no-op that skipped the entire Windows-PATH restoration block — contributors hitting "node/cargo not found" downstream had no log trail pointing here. Add WARNING stderr logs to all three failure branches (cmd.exe missing, query returned empty, no entries after conversion) so the downstream symptom is traceable to its actual cause. - `lib.rs`: replace `cef_impl.rs line ~2081` reference with a message-name reference (`WebviewMessage::SetFocus` handler) so the comment doesn't drift as the vendor file evolves. Skipping the minor `xargs/basename → sed` nit (SC2012 lint area also flagged by CodeRabbit as "Low value" — Windows SDK dirs are strictly `10.0.x.0` so the practical risk is negligible).

[minor] xargs pipeline — still unaddressed from prior review
xargs -I{} basename {} works but is heavier than needed and has edge-case fragility with argument passing. A sed replacement is simpler and avoids the xargs dependency:
sdk_version="$(ls -d "$sdk_root_unix"/Lib/*/ 2>/dev/null \
| sort -V | tail -n1 \
| sed 's|.*/||; s|/||g')"Not blocking — just a cleanup suggestion.

Acknowledged — leaving as-is for this PR. Rationale + scope so it's a deliberate skip, not an oversight:
Why skipped
ls -d "$sdk_root_unix"/Lib/*/only enumerates dirs matching10.0.x.0(Windows SDK's strictly-formatted version directory layout underC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits�\Lib). No newlines, no shell metacharacters, no whitespace in entries — the cases SC2012 protects against don't materialize here.- CodeRabbit also flagged the same area and self-tagged it
💤 Low value. - This is dev-environment scaffolding pulled in from
openhuman-1475; the rest of that file has the samels | sort -V | tailidiom in other places (e.g. the nvm version pick at line ~417). Consistency over one-spot lint compliance until the whole file gets a shellcheck sweep.
Scope if we did apply
One site, three lines diff:
- sdk_version="$(ls -d "$sdk_root_unix"/Lib/*/ 2>/dev/null \n- | sort -V | tail -n1 \n- | xargs -I{} basename {})"
+ sdk_version="$(ls -d "$sdk_root_unix"/Lib/*/ 2>/dev/null \n+ | sort -V | tail -n1 \n+ | sed 's|.*/||; s|/||g')"Zero behavioral change for any valid Windows SDK install. Removes the xargs dependency (always present on Git Bash anyway) and the -I{} substitution. Output unchanged.
Happy to apply if you'd rather we land it now — it's a one-line edit. Just didn't want to expand the diff for a SC2012 lint when the path is hardcoded under a Microsoft-controlled directory tree.

Applied in 47abaa37 — went ahead with the swap since it was the 30-second edit and removes one minor item from the review board.
Address graycyrus's repeated minor flag on the SDK-version-pick line.
Behavior unchanged: still picks the highest-version `10.0.x.0` dir
under `Windows Kits/10/Lib`, just trims the trailing slash and prefix
via sed instead of piping into `xargs -I{} basename {}`.

The Sentry-bugs gitignore commit doesn't touch Rust at all — yet its tests are hung in the same way. That rules out per-PR causes.
Likely culprit
PR #1516 touched the run-turn provider path (src/openhuman/providers/ops.rs) and introduced a new credentials event bus (src/openhuman/credentials/bus.rs, src/core/event_bus/events_tests.rs). The triage evaluator tests use mock_agent_run_turn which routes through the same provider plumbing. The tests probably now block on a global credentials-bus subscriber the test harness doesn't wire up — classic post-refactor test-deadlock pattern when global state is introduced behind an existing mock surface.
Not investigating in this PR — out of scope. Flagging here so the reviewer doesn't attribute the red box to the CEF focus fix.

CEF's renderer wires keyboard input routing only on observed focus state transitions (
false → true), not on focus assertions. The renderer's input dispatcher checksis_keyboard_input_target, which is set byOnFocusChangedevents fired from the host process. The host fires those events when its window subclass observes aWM_SETFOCUS(or when an explicitBrowserHost::SetFocus(true)causes a transition in the host's own model).On cold launch with
visible: false:focused=falsefalsewindow.show()WM_SHOWWINDOW,WM_ACTIVATEfocused=true(silently)false(no transition emitted)A subsequent
webview.set_focus()→host.set_focus(1)is then a no-op because the host already thinks it's focused. The renderer flag staysfalse.Other show paths (tray menu, overlay click, macOS reopen →
show_main_window) don't hit this because the window's CEF focus state machine had already cycled at some point (user was last interacting elsewhere when the window was hidden). Only the cold-launch path is affected.Solution
app/src-tauri/src/lib.rs— afterwindow.show()on the cold-launch path, spawn an async task that:browser()/host()returnNoneand the dispatch silently no-ops).minimize()— Windows sendsWM_KILLFOCUS; CEF's window subclass propagates it tohost.set_focus(0). Host state becomesfalse.unminimize()— Windows sendsWM_SETFOCUS; CEF propagates tohost.set_focus(1). This is a realfalse → truetransition; renderer firesOnFocusChanged(true)and setsis_keyboard_input_target = true.window.set_focus()+webview.set_focus()in case the minimize/restore raced ahead of CEF's browser-create on slower machines.A cleaner fix would expose
BrowserHost::SetFocus(false)in the vendoredtauri-cef(currently onlySetFocus(true)is wired invendor/tauri-cef/crates/tauri-runtime-cef/src/cef_impl.rs~line 2081) so we could cycle focus without touching window state. That requires vendor surgery; this PR is the minimum viable change that works against the existing vendored runtime.Side effect: a ~120ms minimize/restore animation immediately after the window first appears on cold launch. Acceptable tradeoff vs. silent keystroke loss.
