Pick the path without leaving the quiet room.

Native path pickers keep application, file, and folder selection close to the field that consumes it.

Behavior

The Workspaces Quick launch card exposes an inline application browser beside its command field. The Tool runner offers file and folder browsers that write a selected path into JSON parameters. Canceling a picker leaves the existing value unchanged.

Configuration

The Electron main process owns the native picker through a context-isolated IPC handler. The selected path is returned to the renderer and is never executed by the picker itself.

Failure modes

Invalid paths are handled by the existing hidden launch or MCP tool result. A canceled dialog is not reported as a successful launch.

Security

Browsing is user-triggered, Node integration stays disabled, and the selected path retains the existing hidden-process, focus-protection, and trusted-LAN boundaries.

Verification

The real off-screen Workspaces capture shows the inline button. Source contract checks cover the wiring; interactive native-dialog accessibility and a second-computer path check remain Windows-host evidence.
