Every launch now loads claude.ai in a real (off-screen, invisible) NSWindow so
WebKit doesn't throttle JS execution. The nav delegate fires adoptPrimerWebView
once the page loads, replacing the old 1.5 s sleep-then-refresh approach.
didFinish only fires for cross-document (full page) navigations. After
loading https://claude.ai/login the SPA redirects authenticated users
via history.pushState to /new — this changes the URL visually but never
fires didFinish, so auth was never detected.
KVO on webView.url fires for every URL change including SPA pushState,
covering the case where the app routes client-side after the initial
page load. Both KVO and didFinish now call the same checkCurrentURL
helper so detection is not missed regardless of navigation type.
Every JS/cookie-based detection approach failed. Reverting to the
simplest reliable mechanism: if the WebView navigates to any non-login,
non-auth URL, the server redirected us after sign-in — fire onAuthenticated.
Also removing the browser headers added in beta.6. The 1.1.4 version
worked without them and they may be triggering server-side bot detection.
All-cookies approach (beta.8) is kept.
callAsyncJavaScript returns JS numbers as NSNumber (Double-backed).
'val as? Int' silently returns nil for 200.0, so onAuthenticated never
fired. Fixed with 'val as? NSNumber then .intValue == 200'.
Also switched content world from .defaultClient to .page so the fetch
runs in the same JS context as the loaded page.
Cookie domain filtering was wrong — the session token domain is unknown
and was never found by claude.ai/anthropic.com filters.
LoginView: replace getAllCookies domain check with callAsyncJavaScript
that fetches /api/bootstrap directly from the WebView. The WebView uses
its own full session (all cookies, any domain) so auth is detected
correctly regardless of where the token lives.
UsageViewModel: claudeCookieHeader now sends all cookies from the app's
WKWebsiteDataStore instead of filtering by domain. checkInitialSignInState
likewise checks for any cookie.
