- Type: Feature
- Add an opt-in translucent sidebar end-to-end, covering shared settings, appearance controls, renderer chrome, and native window startup so the app can open with the right material from the first paint.
- Keep native blur/material behavior and the opaque fallback aligned across the main process, IPC, and renderer, including reduced-transparency handling and platform checks.
- Add Command Code lifecycle hook plugin support with packaging, install flow, env forwarding, and session-status plumbing so hook events can drive sidebar state reliably.
- Refresh Command Code terminal-status heuristics and broaden test coverage around settings, window creation, plugin install, intent mapping, and thread/session transitions.
- Thread `sidebarTranslucency` through shared settings, IPC, and window chrome schemas. - Apply native material in the main process and pre-paint the renderer to avoid opaque flashes. - Update appearance controls, sidebar shell styling, and related tests.

When the saved translucent-sidebar setting is enabled, this relies on #00000000 exposing the OS material after the renderer clears the shell/sidebar backgrounds. Electron only honors alpha in backgroundColor for BrowserWindows created with transparent: true, and transparency is a construction-time property, but this window is never created transparent; users who launch with the setting on can therefore get an opaque window fill instead of the native blur.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
- Create glass-capable windows at startup, live-toggle Windows acrylic, and keep native theme in sync. - Gate renderer translucency on content readiness and add glass tint CSS for the sidebar/overlay shells. - Update browser and overlay surfaces to use `--content-background`. - Add `relaunchApp` IPC for macOS glass toggles that require a restart.
