feat(menu): ask what should skip the VPN on a fresh install - #133
Merged

Conversation
A fresh install showed an amber NO ROUTES pill and a tinted line that sent the user to Settings with no button to get there. With nothing configured in Bypass mode, the pill now reads NOT SET UP and the dropdown asks the question as a grouped list: six common services with the Services page's switch, a row that opens Settings on the Services page, a field to add a site, and a line that offers VPN Only behind the Mode control's question (proposal 6A, #119).

A MenuBarExtra(.window) runs .onAppear on its first open only and never runs .onDisappear, so the value latched on open never reset. After a service went on, every later open still asked the first-run question in place of the Mode control and the route actions, until the app relaunched; a first open with something configured never asked again. The dropdown now reads the config live, and a test hosts the real dropdown and changes the list without reopening it.

- Around line 1730-1737: Update addSite to return without adding a domain when
routeManager.isApplyingRoutes is true, alongside its existing empty-site guard.
Also disable the plus button when the site is empty or routes are applying, and
disable the TextField while routes are applying.

An add during an apply saved the site but could not take the route gate, so nothing was routed until the next refresh. The Domains page and the switches beside the field already wait for the apply. The hosted dropdown test now skips the real VPN check on open, which otherwise kept running against the shared RouteManager after the test ended.

…dow now needs SettingsView reads SettingsUndo from the environment since the undo line landed, and the test from #133 built it without one, so xctest crashed.

…fore many services leave the VPN (#134) * feat(settings): let a delete or Turn All On/Off be undone Every trash button in Settings removed its domain, custom service, rule or route on the first click with nothing to undo, and a custom service took its whole domain list with it. All turned on every service in one click, and None was red like a delete though it only switched things off. A delete or a bulk switch now leaves one line in its list ("Removed news.ycombinator.com.") with Undo, and Edit > Undo does the same through the window's undo manager. Undo goes back through RouteManager: restoreDomain, restoreInverseDomain and restoreCustomService share the route install of addDomain, addInverseDomain and addCustomService, so the entry's routes come back with it, at its old place and switch. Undoing a bulk switch flips back only the entries it flipped (setDomainsEnabled, setInverseDomainsEnabled, setServicesEnabled, which the setAll methods now call). Rules and routes get removeRule/restoreRule and removeRoute/restoreRoute. All and None become Turn All On and Turn All Off in a menu on the Domains and Services pages. Turn All On for services asks first when it would turn on more than five, with Cancel as the default button. The wording and the question are pure (UndoableChange, ServiceBulkSwitch) with tests, and the new text is in en, es and fr. Implements proposal 8 of #119. * fix(settings): keep an undo on its line while routes are still being applied An undo that waited 10 s for a running route operation went ahead anyway, flipping the config while the route methods skipped their work: undoing Turn All On left the routes in the kernel, and undoing a delete whose cleanup was still running was lost. It now puts the change back on its line and in Edit > Undo, and the line's Undo button is disabled during a route operation as the rows' switches are. * test(settings): give the requested-page test the SettingsUndo the window now needs SettingsView reads SettingsUndo from the environment since the undo line landed, and the test from #133 built it without one, so xctest crashed. * fix(settings): never bring back an undo line that a newer change or a page switch dropped An undo that outlasted its wait put its change back on the line whenever the line was empty, so after a page or mode switch the old line came back, on a mode whose list it no longer matched. It now puts it back only if nothing was recorded or dropped meanwhile.

A fresh install showed an amber NO ROUTES pill, which reads as a fault, and a tinted box that said to enable a service in Settings without a button to get there. So the first real step meant the gear, a tab and a 37-row list.
This builds proposal 6A from #119. With nothing configured in Bypass mode, the pill reads NOT SET UP in grey and the dropdown asks "What should skip the VPN?" as a grouped list. The list has six common services, each with the Services page's switch, which calls the same
RouteManager.toggleServiceand applies at once. "All 37 services…" opens Settings on the Services page. The "Add a site" row uses the add path and feedback line from proposal 5. A last line offers VPN Only instead, behind the same question the Mode control asks. The add row is off while routes apply, as the switches beside it and the Domains page already were. The tinted box is gone. Zoom and Teams drew a globe in the chip map; they now havevideo.fillandperson.2.fill.With no VPN connected, before and after:
The list with a switch on and the add row after a pasted link are renders of the view on its own. In the app the list stops there: once a service is on or a site is on the list, the normal dropdown takes its place at once. The add row after a duplicate is what stays on screen:
Where this differs from the mockup
.onAppearand clearing it in.onDisappear. AMenuBarExtra(.window)runs.onAppearon its first open only and never runs.onDisappear, so after setup every open still asked the question, in place of the Mode control and the route actions, until the app relaunched. The dropdown now reads the config live. The cost is that the row under the pointer turns into the normal dropdown on the first click, with the service under Active Services.NSAlertquestion as the Mode control, through the same run-loop call, and the question goes away at once if you switch.Testing

A domain switched off, a service on, installed routes, VPN Only and Custom each end it. It also covers the six services in order with a missing one skipped, the Zoom and Teams symbols, the NOT SET UP pill with its green header, that NO VPN and NOT ENFORCING still win over it, and that every new string has an en, es and fr entry.FirstRunSetupViewTestshosts the realFirstRunSetupViewand clicks the realNSSwitch: Telegram turns on, only Telegram, and off again. It hosts the realMenuContenttoo, as the menu bar does, with one.onAppearand no close: an off domain added to the list brings the normal dropdown back at once, and emptying the list brings the question back. With the old latch restored on the mini's copy this test went red (("6") is not equal to ("0")). Another test holds the route gate and checks that the add field is off while an apply runs, as on the Domains page; it went red with the field's.disabledremoved. It also hosts the realSettingsView: with no request it opens on Domains, which has no switches, and with the Services request it opens on Services, and the request is used once.isFreshignoring domains, ignoring installed routes, NOT SET UP without the nothing-configured check (it also turned the existingtestNoRoutesIsAWarningred), the header taking the pill's grey, the Zoom symbol removed, the switch not callingtoggleService, Settings ignoring the page request, and one Spanish entry deleted.
