๐ง CRITICAL BUG FIXES IMPLEMENTED
1. VM Parsing Error - FIXED โ
Problem: Application was failing to parse the updated list of VMs from Hyper-V, causing crashes or showing stale data.
Solution Implemented:
- Enhanced PowerShell JSON output handling with better error catching
- Added robust JSON parsing with fallback mechanisms
- Implemented proper empty result handling
- Added HTML escaping to prevent injection issues
- Fixed the Uptime formatting to handle all cases properly
- Added better error messages for debugging
Key Fix in renderer.js:
// Clean JSON output and handle edge cases
let jsonStr = result.stdout.trim();
if (!jsonStr || jsonStr === '' || jsonStr === 'null') {
jsonStr = '[]';
}
// Fallback JSON extraction if output contains extra text
const jsonMatch = jsonStr.match(/\[[\s\S]*\]|\{[\s\S]*\}/);
2. Memory Leak in Stats Loop - FIXED โ
- Optimized the stats update interval
- Added proper cleanup on view switches
3. Double-Click VM Connect - ENHANCED โ
- Added double-click functionality to connect to VMs directly
- Improved VMConnect integration
๐ SECURITY UPDATES (AI COMMUNICATION HARDENING)
Summary of Security Changes
The AI assistant communication layer has been re-architected to improve isolation, reduce attack surface, and prevent unintended access to local AI services.
Key security enhancements include:
AI communication is now fully isolated from the UI layer
Sensitive connection details are never exposed to the user-facing context
All AI requests are routed through a controlled, validated internal boundary
Message size limits and validation are enforced before processing
Direct access paths between the UI and local AI services have been removed

- Check if Hyper-V services are running
Issue: "Failed to parse VMs"
-
This should be fixed, but if it occurs:
-
Check Event Viewer for Hyper-V errors
-
Verify PowerShell execution policy
-
Try restarting Hyper-V services
Issue: "Storage operations fail"
- Ensure you have sufficient permissions
- Check if Storage Spaces is enabled
- Verify disk health in Windows
