What Changed

  • Added Zen as a Firefox-engine browser import source, using the existing Firefox cookie reader and lock handling.
  • Added Zen's native profile roots for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  • Kept Firefox-specific Linux Snap handling scoped to Firefox, so Zen listings cannot surface Firefox Snap profiles.
  • Added regression tests for Zen roots, profile discovery, and Snap isolation.

Why

Zen is an open-source Firefox-based browser with Firefox-compatible profiles.ini metadata and cookies.sqlite stores. The import menu did not list it because the contract schema and desktop registry had no Zen source. Reusing the Firefox engine avoids duplicating SQLite parsing, cookie filtering, and process-lock logic.

UI Changes

Zen appears as an ordinary row in the existing Import menu when it is installed. No screenshots are attached because Zen is not installed in this verification environment.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Zen browser support for importing browser profiles on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
    • Zen profiles can be discovered from native profile locations, Firefox-compatible profile metadata, and both current and legacy Linux directories.
    • Profile discovery includes cookie databases where available.
    • Added safeguards to distinguish Zen profiles from Firefox Snap installations.

Zen uses Firefox-compatible profiles and plaintext cookies.sqlite stores, so model it as a Firefox-engine source with native macOS, Windows, and Linux roots. Keep Firefox-specific Linux Snap handling scoped to Firefox so Zen results stay clean.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new, user-visible Zen Browser cookie-import capability across macOS, Windows, and Linux, using production registry and IPC-contract changes. Because it transfers sensitive browser session data and expands the supported import surface, human review is warranted.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Zen is added as a Firefox-compatible browser import source for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Linux discovery includes Zen’s current and legacy profile roots. Tests cover paths, profiles, cookies, running state, and Firefox Snap separation.

Changes

Zen browser import

Layer / File(s) Summary
Source contract and registration
packages/contracts/src/browserImport.ts, apps/desktop/src/preview/BrowserImport/Sources.ts, apps/desktop/src/preview/BrowserImport/Sources.test.ts
The supported source IDs include zen. The source registry defines Zen paths for macOS, Windows, and Linux, including the legacy Linux root.
Profile discovery and validation
apps/desktop/src/preview/BrowserImport/Sources.ts, apps/desktop/src/preview/BrowserImport/Sources.test.ts
Firefox-engine sources can merge configured alternate Linux roots. Tests validate Zen profile metadata, cookie databases, running state, both Linux roots, and Firefox Snap separation.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0aa1b

Zen cookie import is added across supported platforms, including legacy Linux profiles, while Firefox Snap discovery remains isolated. The change is ready to merge.

both ~/.config/zen and the legacy ~/.zen location, then deduplicates any
profiles found across both roots. Add a regression test covering a legacy-only
installation and confirming its profiles are discovered.
