This PR adds the Settings page (4), which shows every app setting and runs the server actions that need no input.

The keys open the server config, app settings, model prices, update log, or server logs folder in $VISUAL or $EDITOR, check the server config, and check which server keys are saved. The app gives the terminal to the editor and takes it back afterward. draw_settings destructures AppSettings without .., so a new app setting breaks the build until this page shows it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a Settings page with app settings, update status, and server-key results.
    • Settings actions can open configured files in an external editor. If no custom prices file is configured, opening prices displays a bundled-rates message.
    • Added server configuration checks and clearer feedback when checks fail.
    • Expanded page navigation to four pages and added a Settings view for startup errors.
    • Added support for opening external links and applications.

Walkthrough

The desktop TUI adds a Settings tab with actions for application files, configuration validation, and server-key status. New controller and server operations support those actions. The TUI also launches configured files in an external editor and refreshes its state after editor and action workflows.

Changes

Desktop Settings and Server Actions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Controller actions and server operations

The controller adds action dispatch, reply data, and editor target lookup. The server module adds credential-helper operations, configuration validation, and command execution. The Windows installer module adds an opener used for open commands.
Settings actions and display
crates/switchyard-desktop/src/tui.rs
The TUI adds a Settings tab with seven actions, keyboard navigation, worker state and reply handling, and displays for settings, update state, and server-key status.
External editor and action lifecycle
crates/switchyard-desktop/src/tui.rs
The TUI launches editor commands with the terminal suspended, restores the terminal afterward, and handles action and editor completions with follow-up refreshes.

Some users cannot see all saved-key results on a common terminal size, and Windows users with an unquoted editor path cannot launch their editor. These bounded issues warrant fixes or owner acceptance before merging.

Explanation

The title names the main change: a new Settings page plus server actions and editor handoff. The raw summary confirms these: a Settings tab in tui.rs, server key and config checks in server.rs, and editor_target/dispatch in controller.rs that hand the terminal to an editor. The title is specific and matches the PR objectives. It is 72 characters, which is within a normal title length, and it follows the conventional commit prefix style.

A rabbit taps the Settings key,
Seven paths appear for me.
Server keys return their state,
Editors open by request, not fate.
The terminal wakes; refreshes run,
Then off I hop beneath the sun.

Clipping hides the key list when the server config names three or more keys.

draw_settings places the SERVER KEYS section last in a non-scrolling Paragraph. On an 80×24 terminal, the info pane has 20 inner rows. Sixteen rows come before the SERVER KEYS heading, so the heading is row 17 and the Stored in … line is row 18. Key n lands on row 18+n, so only the first two keys fit. Any wrapped setting path moves the keys down by one row for each wrapped line.

The k action's result is the key list alone. Its toast reads "Checked the saved server keys." with no details, so the user cannot see the clipped keys without enlarging the terminal.

Show the key list in a scrollable Popup::Message, as the action-details path in finish already does. Keep the SERVER KEYS section in the pane as well.

Moving SERVER KEYS above APP SETTINGS when keys are present only moves the clipping. With three keys, the UPDATE FROM SOURCE status falls off the bottom. With more keys, some app-setting rows are clipped too.

shlex::split corrupts Windows editor paths that contain backslashes.

shlex::split uses POSIX shell rules. In unquoted text, it removes each backslash and keeps the next character. If a Windows user sets EDITOR=C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe, the program name becomes C:WindowsSystem32notepad.exe. Command::new then fails with "Could not start the editor".

The code has Windows-specific support in this PR (install/windows.rs::open, and a notepad fallback in editor()). Windows users therefore can reach this path. Windows users also commonly use unquoted paths in these variables.

On Windows, use a parser that follows the CommandLineToArgvW grammar. At minimum, use the whole value as the program when it names an existing file.

This minimal fix does not cover C:\path\editor.exe --wait. That form needs a Windows-aware splitter.

Based on learnings: "Flag command-line parsing that fails to preserve arguments according to the intended consumer's grammar... Windows programs do not universally use CommandLineToArgvW parsing rules."

📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
