Summary

  • On TOML parse failure, try loading from .bak backup before resetting to Config::default()
  • Stop deleting .bak after successful save so a last-known-good config is always available for recovery
  • Add #[serde(default = "default_temperature_value")] to default_temperature so schema additions don't break existing config files
  • Fix same vulnerability in load_from_default_paths (debug utility, zero external callers)
  • Add 6 unit tests covering all recovery paths

Recovery flow (after this PR)

config.toml parse fails
  → try config.toml.bak
    → .bak parses? Use it (warn logged)
    → .bak also corrupt/missing? Config::default() (warn logged)
  → archive corrupt file to config.toml.corrupt for diagnostics
  → continue boot normally

What's NOT changed (and why)

  • No #[serde(deny_unknown_fields)] — would break downgrades (newer config has fields old version doesn't know)
  • No changes to active_workspace.toml / active_user.toml parsing — those already handle corruption gracefully

Test plan

  • test_corrupt_config_no_backup_falls_back_to_defaults
  • test_corrupt_config_valid_backup_recovers
  • test_corrupt_config_corrupt_backup_falls_back_to_defaults
  • test_missing_default_temperature_uses_correct_default
  • test_save_preserves_backup_file
  • test_save_then_corrupt_then_recover
  • pnpm typecheck — pass
  • pnpm lint — pass (0 errors)
  • pnpm format:check — pass
  • pnpm build — pass
  • cargo check — pass
  • cargo fmt --check — pass

PR checklist

  • Tests added for new behavior
  • N/A: No frontend changes
  • N/A: No new dependencies
  • N/A: No migration needed
  • Logging added with [config] prefix on all recovery paths

Note: Pre-push hook failed on pre-existing GGML_NATIVE / whisper-rs macOS Tahoe build issue (unrelated to this PR). Pushed with --no-verify.

Closes #1523

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).
