Summary of Changes

Hello @mateuszruszkowski, 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 compatibility issues arising from the migration to ES Modules (ESM) in the Electron frontend. By systematically replacing CommonJS "require()" calls with modern ES "import" syntax, it eliminates runtime errors related to "require" being undefined and establishes a consistent, future-proof module resolution strategy across the codebase. This change is crucial for maintaining application stability and aligning with contemporary JavaScript module standards.

Highlights

  • ESM Compatibility: Migrated CommonJS "require()" calls to ES module "import" statements across several frontend files to ensure compatibility with the Electron main process.
  • Error Resolution: Resolved "require is not defined" errors that were occurring in the Electron main process after the migration to ES Modules.
  • Module Standardization: Standardized module resolution by consistently using ES imports for Node.js built-in modules (like 'os' and 'fs/promises') and Electron's 'app' module.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Replaces several runtime CommonJS require() calls with top-level ES module imports (os, path, fs, electron.app) across frontend main-process files, adjusting how homedir, DB path resolution, backend path detection, and fs operations obtain their modules; no public APIs changed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Profile & Context utils
apps/frontend/src/main/claude-profile-manager.ts, apps/frontend/src/main/ipc-handlers/context/utils.ts
Replace dynamic require('os')/require('path') with top-level os/path imports and use os.homedir() / path.join(...) for profile configDir and DB path resolution.
Electron backend path
apps/frontend/src/main/ipc-handlers/github/utils/subprocess-runner.ts
Import app from electron statically (remove guarded runtime require); always include app.getAppPath() among backend path candidates, changing behavior when not running inside Electron.
Filesystem consolidation
apps/frontend/src/main/ipc-handlers/task/worktree-handlers.ts, apps/frontend/src/main/log-service.ts
Move fs.promises and unlinkSync to top-level imports and replace in-function require('fs') calls with fsPromises/unlinkSync; I/O logic unchanged, imports centralized.

Swapping requires for imports bright,
Paths find home and files obey,
Neat imports guide the run today,

Code Review

This pull request successfully migrates CommonJS require() calls to ES module import statements across several files. This change is crucial for ensuring compatibility with ES modules in the Electron main process, addressing the "require is not defined" error. The refactoring is clean and directly replaces the old module loading syntax with the new one, maintaining the existing functionality and logic. The changes are well-contained and correctly applied, improving the codebase's consistency and future-proofing it for modern JavaScript environments.

256-260: Optional cleanup: The conditional check is now redundant.

With the static ES import, app is always defined when this code executes (the import would fail entirely if Electron wasn't available). The ternary app ? ... : null at line 257 is now unnecessary.

♻️ Suggested simplification
   const possiblePaths = [
     // Dev mode: from dist/main -> ../../backend (apps/frontend/out/main -> apps/backend)
     path.resolve(__dirname, '..', '..', '..', '..', '..', 'backend'),
     // Alternative: from app root -> apps/backend
-    app ? path.resolve(app.getAppPath(), '..', 'backend') : null,
+    path.resolve(app.getAppPath(), '..', 'backend'),
     // If running from repo root with apps structure
     path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'apps', 'backend'),
-  ].filter((p): p is string => p !== null);

In `@apps/frontend/src/main/ipc-handlers/github/utils/subprocess-runner.ts`:
- Line 14: The import of app from 'electron' is always defined so remove the
redundant null-check ternary around its usage in subprocess-runner.ts (the
conditional at the block referenced around lines 254–260 that does `app ? ... :
null`); directly use app where needed (e.g., call app.getPath(...) or pass app
to spawn/child logic) and adjust any TypeScript types if necessary to no longer
accept null/undefined for that value (update the containing function or variable
declarations that reference app to use non-nullable types). Ensure you only
eliminate the ternary/null branch and leave the rest of the logic intact.
