* Mark external apps and use the flag for dashboard titles
An app with no owner_user_id (null/empty) isn't owned by a Puter user —
it's an external, origin-bootstrapped app whose uuid/name/title are all the
opaque app-… id. The dashboard used to detect these client-side by comparing
uuid/name/title and a name.startsWith('app-') check.
Expose an authoritative `external` flag from the API instead:
- /installedApps and /get-launch-apps now return `external`, derived from
owner_user_id, and no longer leak the raw owner id.
- The dashboard (Home + Apps tabs) shows the index_url hostname for external
apps based on `external` rather than the uuid/name/title heuristic.
Add/extend extension tests to cover the `external` flag and non-leak.
* Use hostname for opaque external app titles
Detect opaque external app IDs (when name === title === uid/uuid) and replace the displayed title with the hostname from index_url. Adds a uid/uuid fallback and tightens the external-app check in both the Apps and Home dashboard tabs so they behave consistently; preserves target_link for Home entries.
* Add external flag for apps without owner
Expose an `external` property in AppSummary (toAppSummary in RecommendedAppsService.ts) to mark apps that are not owned by a Puter user. The flag is set when `owner_user_id` is null or an empty string, allowing clients to identify origin-bootstrapped/external apps.
* feat: make the dashboard the default interface at root
The dashboard now loads at / (with /dashboard kept as an alias), and the
desktop moves to a new /desktop route. An "Open Desktop" button pinned at
the bottom of the dashboard sidebar switches to the desktop.
Root URLs that carry a desktop-only flow keep booting the desktop:
auth popups (?embedded_in_popup=), app deep links (?app=), direct
downloads (?download=), fullpage mode (?puter.fullpage=), and iframe
embeds.
Desktop-context redirects are retargeted so desktop users stay on the
desktop: logout, the QR "continue on phone" link, the auth cover-page
logo click, and window close/hide URL resets now use /desktop. OIDC
login/signup gains a strictly whitelisted return_to param (/desktop or
/dashboard) so social login returns to the interface it started from.
Also: the dashboard strips ?ref= like the desktop does, ?auth_token=
cleanup preserves the path and tab hash, the logged-out session list
gets the wallpaper back, ?download= also works at /desktop, and the GUI
dev server serves /desktop and /dashboard.
* Add Open Desktop bento card and CSS
Replace the previous desktop-switch UI with a full-width "Open Desktop" bento card that links to /desktop. Removes the pinned sidebar Open Desktop button and the old desktop-switch button/handler, and adds new CSS variables and styles for the desktop card (icon background, shadow, surface/header colors), hover shadow and arrow transition, and layout/padding adjustments.
Changed files: TabHome.js (removed old switch, added anchor card), UIDashboard.js (removed sidebar button), dashboard.css (new desktop color vars and styles; removed legacy desktop-switch/button styles).
* Remove box-shadow from myapps search input
Delete the box-shadow declarations from input.myapps-search::placeholder in dashboard.css. This simplifies the placeholder styling (removes subtle and light shadow layers), likely to reduce visual noise or fix rendering inconsistency.
* Show index_url hostname for opaque app IDs
Only replace an app's title with the hostname from index_url when the app appears to use an opaque id. Add a check for names starting with 'app-' so the hostname is used only if title, name and uuid are identical and the name looks like an opaque app id. This avoids overwriting meaningful user-facing names that may coincidentally match the uuid and clarifies the intent in the comment.
