Summary

  • Fix Electron mode showing "You've been logged out" screen on startup
  • Add missing X-API-Key header to verifySession() function
  • The function only included session token (web mode) but not API key (Electron mode)

Root Cause

The verifySession() function in http-api-client.ts was not including the X-API-Key header when checking authentication status. In Electron mode, authentication uses API key headers, not session cookies. This caused /api/settings/status to return 401, triggering the logged-out screen.

Test plan

  • Launch Electron app - should go directly to main UI without login prompt
  • Verify web mode still works with session-based auth

fix: add API key header to verifySession for Electron auth

The verifySession() function was not including the X-API-Key header
when making requests to /api/settings/status, causing Electron mode
to fail authentication on app startup despite having a valid API key.

This resulted in users seeing "You've been logged out" screen
immediately after launching the Electron app.

Summary of Changes

Hello @Shironex, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a critical authentication bug in the Electron application mode. By ensuring the verifySession function correctly includes the X-API-Key header, it resolves the problem of users being incorrectly prompted with a 'logged out' message upon launching the Electron app, thereby improving the initial user experience and application stability for Electron users.

Highlights

  • Electron Authentication Fix: Resolves the issue where the Electron application would display a 'You've been logged out' screen upon startup, improving the initial user experience.
  • API Key Header Addition: The verifySession() function now correctly includes the X-API-Key header, which is essential for authentication in Electron mode.
  • Unified Authentication Logic: The verifySession() function has been updated to properly handle both API key-based authentication for Electron and session token-based authentication for web mode.

Code Review

This pull request correctly adds the X-API-Key header to the verifySession function, fixing an authentication issue in Electron mode. The change is straightforward and addresses the root cause. I've added one suggestion to make the authentication header logic more robust and consistent with other parts of the codebase by ensuring that only one authentication token is sent per request.
