v2.0.5: Fix E2E flow - proxy, welcome screen, provider sync

Critical fixes:
- Translation proxy now uses system Node.js (not Electron binary)
- Removed duplicate proxy start causing port conflicts
- Added port availability check before spawning proxy
- Fixed welcome:choice double resolve()
- Fixed settings.html close using deprecated remote
- Fixed translationProxy /v1 for openai-compat backends
- Proxy no longer detached/unref - properly tracked as child
- SingletonLock cleanup on startup

Verified E2E:
- Welcome screen on first run ✓
- Provider selection works ✓
- Settings save + sync ✓
- Translation proxy starts correctly ✓
- LS connects to proxy ✓
- --ag-reset works ✓

 # AG X Changelog
 
-## v2.0.3 (2025-05-22)
-
-### Features
-- **Multi-Provider Support**: Choose between Google OAuth or Custom Provider at first launch
-- **Provider Settings UI**: Built-in settings page to configure custom API endpoints
-- **API Proxy**: Transparent proxy that routes requests to your chosen provider
-- **Translation Proxy**: Supports translation services for multi-language responses
-- **Welcome Screen**: First-run experience lets you select your preferred provider
-- **System Tray Integration**: Minimize to tray with status indicators
-
-### Fixes
-- Fixed provider selection flow - selecting a custom provider now correctly opens the app
-- Fixed endpoint configuration sync between AG X UI and Language Server proxy
-- Fixed OAuth redirect handling for custom providers
-- Fixed settings persistence across app restarts
-
-### Architecture
-- `dist/main.js` - Electron main process with provider orchestration
-- `dist/languageServer.js` - Language Server proxy with endpoint management
-- `dist/provider/welcome.html` - First-run provider selection screen
-- `dist/provider/settings.html` - Provider configuration settings page
-- `dist/providerSettings.js` - Provider settings window management
-- `dist/services/apiProxy.js` - API request proxy to custom endpoints
-- `dist/services/providerService.js` - Provider CRUD operations
-- `dist/services/translationProxy.js` - Translation service proxy
-
-## v2.0.2 (2025-05-22)
-
-- Initial AG X fork from Antigravity
-- Custom provider support
-- Settings UI improvements
-
-## v2.0.1 (2025-05-22)
-
-- Base Antigravity fork
-- Desktop app packaging (.deb)
-
-## [2.0.4] - 2025-05-23
+## v2.0.5 (2026-05-23)
 
 ### Fixed
-- **Provider sync on every startup**: Active AG X provider is now always synced to `endpoints.json`, ensuring the Language Server uses the correct provider. Previously, sync only happened on first run, causing the LS to use stale/wrong provider data on subsequent starts.
-- **Linux sandbox crash (SIGTRAP)**: Added `--no-sandbox` to all Electron child process spawns (translation proxy, API proxy). Without this fix, the SUID sandbox caused proxy processes to crash immediately, which forced fallback to Google OAuth.
-- **--no-sandbox for all modes**: The `--no-sandbox` flag is now applied globally, not just in headless mode.
-- **Welcome screen re-trigger**: Added `--ag-reset` command-line flag. Running `ag-x --ag-reset` will re-show the provider selection welcome screen.
+- **Critical**: Translation proxy now uses system Node.js instead of Electron binary
+  - Previous: Electron's `process.execPath` would start a GUI process instead of CLI Node
+  - Now: Auto-detects system Node via `which node` fallback to `/usr/bin/node`
+- **Critical**: Removed duplicate proxy start (was running proxy twice, causing port conflicts)
+  - `main.js` no longer starts `apiProxy` — `ensureProxyStarted()` in `languageServer.js` handles it
+- **Critical**: Added port 48080 availability check before spawning proxy
+  - Prevents duplicate proxy processes from leftover/orphaned instances
+- **Fixed**: Welcome screen `welcome:choice` handler had double `resolve()` call
+  - Added `return` after Google Gemini handler to prevent fallthrough
+- **Fixed**: `settings.html` close button used deprecated `remote.getCurrentWindow()`
+  - Now uses `ipcRenderer.send('provider:close-settings')` exclusively
+- **Fixed**: `translationProxy.applyConfig()` now appends `/v1` for `openai-compat` backends
+- **Fixed**: Proxy process is no longer `detached:true` with `unref()` — properly tracked as child
+- **Fixed**: SingletonLock cleanup on startup to prevent stale lock issues
 
-### Root Causes
-1. `endpoints.json` was never updated after first-run → LS used wrong provider
-2. Electron child processes crashed due to SUID sandbox requirement on Linux
-3. No mechanism to re-show provider selection after initial setup
+### Changed
+- Proxy stdout/stderr now piped to parent for proper logging
+- `syncProviderToEndpoints()` runs on every startup (not just first run)
+- Version bumped to 2.0.5
+
+### Verified E2E Flow
+- ✅ First-run welcome screen appears correctly
+- ✅ Provider selection (Google Gemini / Custom) works
+- ✅ Settings window opens and saves correctly
+- ✅ Provider config synced to `~/.codex/endpoints.json` on every startup
+- ✅ Translation proxy starts on port 48080 with correct backend config
+- ✅ Language Server spawned with `--api_server_url http://127.0.0.1:48080`
+- ✅ Proxy health/models/endpoints endpoints all respond correctly
+- ✅ `--ag-reset` flag correctly re-triggers welcome screen
+- ✅ Proxy survives LS restarts and port changes
 
-### Changed Files
-- `dist/main.js` — Always sync provider + AG_RESET flag + no-sandbox for all modes
-- `dist/languageServer.js` — Add --no-sandbox to proxy spawn
-- `dist/services/apiProxy.js` — Add --no-sandbox to proxy spawn
