+# Desktop Startup Handoff (2026-04-07)
+
+## Goal
+
+排查并优化 Windows 安装包首启卡在“正在同步员工配置”的问题，重点处理两件事：
+
+1. 修正启动状态汇总，避免把真实错误或后续阶段统一显示成“正在同步员工配置”
+2. 增加首启结构化日志和更完整的 diagnostics 信息，便于现场机器定位卡点
+
+## Current Status
+
+当前不是完成态，但主体改动已经做了大半。
+
+已完成：
+
+- 主进程接入 startup logger 基础能力
+- diagnostics 导出内容增强
+- workspace summary 逻辑已改，新增 `syncing-projects` 阶段，避免“无项目”覆盖真实错误
+- UI 已做最小配套修改：
+  - 支持 `syncing-projects`
+  - 导出 diagnostics 后显示 `startupLogPath`
+  - 启动错误遮罩上增加“导出诊断”按钮
+
+未完成：
+
+- 当前还没跑通整仓 typecheck
+- 还没跑桌面端/安装包首启验证
+- 日志点已接入到部分关键服务，但还没有做完整的 installer 现场回归
+
+## Current Blocker
+
+最新一次整仓类型检查：
+
+```powershell
+$env:COREPACK_HOME='D:\qjclaw\.corepack'; corepack pnpm typecheck
+```
+
+结果：
+
+- `packages/shared-types` 通过
+- `packages/gateway-client` 通过
+- `apps/ui` 失败
+
+当前唯一已确认报错：
+
+- `apps/ui/src/App.tsx:969`
+- `nextWorkspace` is possibly `null`
+
+对应代码附近逻辑是启动轮询里的：
+
+```ts
+const nextWorkspace = await refresh(false);
+const nextShouldPoll = Boolean(nextWorkspace) && (
+  nextWorkspace.chatLaunchState === "starting"
+  || (!nextWorkspace.shellReady && nextWorkspace.bindingRequired)
+);
+```
+
+这里需要把 `nextWorkspace` 收窄后再访问字段。
+
+## Files Changed For This Task
+
+确认与本任务直接相关的文件：
+
+- `apps/desktop/src/main/index.ts`
+- `apps/desktop/src/main/ipc.ts`
+- `apps/desktop/src/main/services/cloud-api.ts`
+- `apps/desktop/src/main/services/diagnostics.ts`
+- `apps/desktop/src/main/services/project-bundle.ts`
+- `apps/desktop/src/main/services/startup-logger.ts`
+- `packages/shared-types/src/index.ts`
+- `apps/ui/src/App.tsx`
+
+## Important Functional Changes
+
+### 1. New startup logger
+
+新增：
+
+- `apps/desktop/src/main/services/startup-logger.ts`
+
+作用：
+
+- 向 `<logsPath>/startup/` 写 JSONL 风格首启日志
+- 生成会话日志和 latest 日志
+- 对 token / api key / password / URL 做基本脱敏
+
+### 2. Shared types updated
+
+`packages/shared-types/src/index.ts` 已添加：
+
+- `WorkspaceStartupPhase` 新值：`syncing-projects`
+- `DiagnosticsExportResult.startupLogPath?: string`
+
+### 3. Diagnostics export enhanced
+
+`apps/desktop/src/main/services/diagnostics.ts` 当前已支持导出更多现场信息：
+
+- `workspaceSummary`
+- `bundleSyncStatus`
+- `startupLogPath`
+- `reason`
+
+并通过 `startupLogger` 写 diagnostics 导出记录。
+
+### 4. Workspace summary fix
+
+`apps/desktop/src/main/ipc.ts` 是本次最关键的修复点。
+
+当前逻辑已经改成：
+
+- `error` 不再被“无项目”覆盖
+- 当 runtime cloud ready 但还没有项目时，进入 `syncing-projects`
+- 如果 bundle sync 失败，返回明确错误 summary
+- summary 变化会写 startup logger
+- diagnostics export 时会附带 startup log path / workspace summary / bundle sync status
+
+这部分是本次修复“首页闪一下又被‘正在同步员工配置’盖回去”的核心。
+
+### 5. Index / service wiring
+
+`apps/desktop/src/main/index.ts` 已做的事情：
+
+- 创建 `startupLogger`
+- 注入 `DiagnosticsService`
+- 注入 `OpenClawConfigClient`
+- 注入 `ProjectBundleService`
+- 注入 `registerDesktopIpc`
+
+`cloud-api.ts` / `project-bundle.ts` 已开始接入 logger，但后续仍建议在类型检查通过后再补一次日志点覆盖率检查。
+
+### 6. UI minimal support
+
+`apps/ui/src/App.tsx` 当前的目标性修改只有这些：
+
+- `startupCurtainCopy.syncingProjects`
+- `getStartupProgress()` 支持 `syncing-projects`
+- `getStartupCurtainStatus()` 支持 `syncing-projects`
+- diagnostics 成功提示里包含 `startupLogPath`
+- 启动错误遮罩新增 diagnostics 导出按钮
+
+## Other Dirty Files In Worktree
+
+当前 `git diff --name-only` 里还有这些未提交改动：
+
+- `apps/desktop/src/main/services/project-store.ts`
+- `apps/desktop/src/preload/index.ts`
+- `apps/ui/src/styles.css`
+- `build/scripts/electron-smoke.ps1`
+
+这些不在我本次“启动日志/状态机”主线修改的核心列表里，可能是已有改动或其他任务改动。
+
+如果另一个 AI 要继续本任务，不要默认回退这些文件。
+
+## Whether This Affects Another Task
+
+会不会影响，取决于另一个任务改哪些文件。
+
+影响较小的情况：
+
+- 另一个任务不改下列文件：
+  - `apps/desktop/src/main/index.ts`
+  - `apps/desktop/src/main/ipc.ts`
+  - `apps/desktop/src/main/services/cloud-api.ts`
+  - `apps/desktop/src/main/services/diagnostics.ts`
+  - `apps/desktop/src/main/services/project-bundle.ts`
+  - `apps/ui/src/App.tsx`
+  - `packages/shared-types/src/index.ts`
+
+容易冲突的情况：
+
+- 另一个任务要改 `App.tsx`
+- 另一个任务要改 desktop main 启动链路
+- 另一个任务要改 diagnostics / preload / shared-types IPC 类型
+
+所以如果你只是临时切去改完全无关模块，通常问题不大；如果另一个任务也碰启动、UI 主壳、共享类型或 preload，冲突概率就高。
+
+## Recommended Pause Strategy
+
+如果要先切走做别的任务，建议：
+
+1. 不要继续在当前改动基础上随手混改启动相关文件
+2. 让另一个任务尽量避开本任务相关文件
+3. 如果另一个 AI 要继续本任务，先读本文件，再跑一次 typecheck，从 UI 的 nullability 报错开始收尾
+
+## Recommended Next Steps For The Next AI
+
+1. 修复 `apps/ui/src/App.tsx:969` 的空值收窄问题
+2. 重新运行：
+
+```powershell
+$env:COREPACK_HOME='D:\qjclaw\.corepack'; corepack pnpm typecheck
+```
+
+3. 如果 typecheck 继续报主进程相关错误，再逐个修：
+   - `index.ts`
+   - `cloud-api.ts`
+   - `project-bundle.ts`
+   - `ipc.ts`
+
+4. typecheck 通过后，验证桌面端：
+   - 启动阶段文案是否出现 `syncing-projects`
+   - diagnostics 导出是否返回 `startupLogPath`
+   - 启动错误遮罩是否能导出日志
+
+5. 再做安装包/首启验证，重点看是否能区分：
+   - 员工配置请求失败
+   - 项目 bundle 同步失败
+   - runtime 启动失败
+   - gateway 连接失败
+   - summary 被覆盖
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+查看工作区变更：
+
+```powershell
+git -c safe.directory=D:/qjclaw diff --name-only
+```
+
+重新看 UI 变更：
+
+```powershell
+git -c safe.directory=D:/qjclaw diff -- apps/ui/src/App.tsx
+```
+
+重新跑类型检查：
+
+```powershell
+$env:COREPACK_HOME='D:\qjclaw\.corepack'; corepack pnpm typecheck
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- 这个仓库当前在 Windows 环境下，且 `D:\qjclaw` 需要按 safe.directory 方式使用 git
+- 我这轮没有做 destructive revert
+- 当前最重要的是先保持工作区稳定，不要在 `App.tsx` 上再叠加大改
