💻 Change Type

  • 🐛 fix

🔀 Description of Change

localFileService.openLocalFileOrFolder(path, isDirectory) (and the related openFileFolder) hands the incoming path straight to Electron's shell.openPath. shell.openPath does not expand ~, so paths like ~/git/work failed silently — the OS got ~/git/work as a literal directory name.

Run expandTilde() (already used elsewhere in the same controller, e.g. for project skill directories) on the path before passing it to shell.openPath. Both file and folder code paths are covered.

🧪 How to Test

  • Tested locally
  • Added/updated tests
  • No tests needed

Two new unit tests in LocalFileCtr.test.ts verify that ~/git/work/file.txt and ~/git/work are expanded to absolute paths under the user's home directory before shell.openPath is called. All 64 tests in the suite pass.

Manual repro: trigger any <LocalFile path="~/something" /> (e.g. from an agent tool result), click "Open" or "Show in folder". Before this change the action silently no-ops; after, the file/folder opens as expected.

📝 Additional Information

Side note: apps/desktop/src/main/modules/openInApp/launchers.ts also calls shell.openPath/execFileAsync with what it expects to be an absolutePath. Not changed here because no concrete bug was reported for that path, but worth tracking if openInApp ever receives a tilde-prefixed working directory.

shell.openPath() does not perform tilde expansion, so paths like
~/git/work failed silently. Run expandTilde() (shared with the rest
of LocalFileCtr) on the incoming path before handing it to the OS.

# 🚀 LobeHub Release (20260528)

**Release Date:** May 28, 2026  
**Since v2.2.0:** 220 merged PRs · 15 contributors

> This cycle brings heterogeneous "platform agents" you can dispatch to
local or remote devices, a rebuilt onboarding flow, document-centric
chat, and a unified model-runtime error model — with new DeepSeek V4 and
Gemini 3.5 Flash support along the way.

---

## ✨ Highlights

- **More Hetero Agents (OpenClaw / Hermes)** — Create heterogeneous
agents and dispatch them to local or remote devices through the device
gateway, with an execution-target switcher in the composer and
persistent CLI sessions. (#15065, #15179, #15022)
- **iMessage on Desktop** — New iMessage setup and bridge on desktop,
plus bot attachments across every platform. (#15228, #15227, #15029)
- **Skills in the Composer** — Drag skill chips into chat, trigger
installed skills from the slash menu mid-line, and surface project-level
skills in the homogeneous agent runtime. (#15095, #15061, #15110)
- **New Models** — DeepSeek V4 Flash/Pro and Gemini 3.5 Flash across
providers, with thinking params for structured output and chat cost
estimates. (#15031, #15001, #15051, #14876)
- **Agent Runtime Observability** — OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic
conventions plus per-call generation tracing. (#15123, #15124)
