A list of short rows — goal, model, timer — reads better narrow than stretched across the full reading column. Scoped in styles.css rather than as a utility: the rule above it sets width on every tool block and wins over one.
A fan-out showed up in the transcript as one grey row and a JSON blob, so the several agents it started were invisible until they finished. Give the call its own card: one line per child with the goal, the model running it, and a live timer, over a single ticking line of that child's relayed activity.
A repeated id in the transcript reached assistant-ui's MessageRepository,
which throws on the second link and takes the whole workspace pane down to
the contribution error boundary — the pane the user is actually working in.
Dedupe where the repository export is built, so no upstream transcript bug
can crash the pane, and close the journal merge path that produced one: a
resume that replays a still-journaled turn appended rows the base already
held by id.
The desktop's queue promises "run this AFTER the current turn", but the
promise broke on a race the user can't see: a drain that fired when the
client observed idle while the server was still unwinding the turn landed
in _handle_busy_submit, which applied busy_input_mode — redirecting or
interrupting the live turn with text the user explicitly queued. That's
why force-sending the queue felt like a dice roll: the same gesture
steered, interrupted, or queued depending on a millisecond settle race.
prompt.submit now carries queued:true on every fromQueue drain (composer
auto-drain, send-now, background drain), and the gateway's busy path
honors it by forcing queue semantics — never steer, never redirect,
never interrupt. Lose the race and the text simply waits its turn, which
is what queueing meant all along.
Covered on both sides: a gateway test proving a queued drain cannot touch
redirect/steer/interrupt on the live agent, and the desktop drain tests
now assert the flag rides every prompt.submit shape (direct, background,
resume-retry).
Filtering pins out of the project tree was deleting the lane along with
its last row, so pinning your only chat on a branch made the worktree
vanish from the sidebar — and a project whose sessions were all pinned
fell through to the "no sessions" empty state.
A lane is structure: it exists on disk and you can still start work in
it, which is why the git-worktree enhancer injects lanes that never had
a session at all. Keep emptied lanes, count a lane (not a row) as
project content, and teach the live overlay's prune to drop only the
lanes IT emptied.
A pin belongs to the Pinned section and nowhere else, but only the flat
recents list filtered them — the project overview, an entered project's
lanes, and the messaging platform sections all still rendered a pinned
row a second time.
Filter every unpinned group on a shared predicate that matches the live
id AND the durable lineage-root pin id, so a compression tip rotation
can't leak the row back in. A platform's "load more" count discounts its
pinned rows too, or it promises rows that never appear.
Notifications, ⌘K, switcher, session picker, cron/command-center, artifacts,
and @session refs all go through openSession. Plain click/Enter focuses the
existing tile or main; ⌘-click/⌘-Enter opens a new tab; ⇧⌘ still pops a window.
Focus layout keeps `files` in the workspace group's panes while chrome-
hidden. Slot keys walked that raw array, so ⌘2 landed on the first session
chip and every later number was off-by-one (especially after a ⌘W main-tab
shift). Index the same shown filter the strip paints, and cycle the same.
Adoption: a floating contribution stays out of the tree while a docked
sibling in the same pass is adopted, so the exclusion is specific rather
than a broken run.
Live DOM: mounts FloatingPanes and drives real pointer + resize events —
anchored spawn, drag, persistence across remount, edge-riding on resize,
the titlebar floor, collapse, and the no-drag button opt-out.
Plugins previously had to fake a floating pane by registering into a
chrome slot and rendering position:fixed themselves, which broke inside
any transformed ancestor and reimplemented drag, clamping, and
persistence each time.
Adds placement: 'floating' — the one non-tiling pane role. Adoption skips
those contributions so one can never become a track that steals width
from a zone; the tree renders them as fixed cards instead, draggable by
the header, with position and collapse persisted per pane id.
The card reuses HUD_SURFACE (command palette, session switcher) rather
than hand-rolling a second float surface.
Pure clamping/anchoring rules for a pane that lives outside the layout
tree: keep 48px grabbable at either horizontal edge, hard-bound the top
below the titlebar so the drag handle stays reachable, pin top-left
rather than invert when the card outgrows the viewport, and let an
edge-anchored card ride its edge as the window resizes.
No DOM, so the rules are testable directly.
A mid-stream steer persists an interrupted-turn checkpoint so the model knows
its reply was cut off. That scaffolding — "[This response was interrupted by a
user correction.]" and the "Visible response before the interruption:" header —
was written straight into message content, so every reload painted the raw
machinery as an assistant bubble (and merged it into the preceding tool-call
bubble). Steered transcripts became unreadable.
Reuse the existing display/replay split instead of inventing new surface:
- Carry the scaffolded form in the server-only api_content sidecar (the exact
bytes replayed to the provider), keep content the user's/agent's real words.
- When nothing reached the screen there is no clean form, so mark the row
display_kind=hidden — replayed to the model, dropped by every transcript
surface, exactly like compaction-reference rows.
- Honor display_kind=hidden in the gateway's _history_to_messages projection
(it only sniffed the [System: convention), so the checkpoint can't leak
through the live/resume path to the TUI/CLI either.
The model still receives the full interrupted context on the wire; the
transcript shows the partial reply and the user's correction.
A run of thinking headers is the one place the disclosure affordance isn't
otherwise discoverable — every other one sits in a row you're already
reaching for. The resting opacity becomes a token so only that surface opts
in; DisclosureRow is shared with tool rows and run headers, which keep the
invisible-until-hover default.
The turn block gap is the space between the reply and the work around it, so
a back-to-back run of thinking headers and tool rows spent the full gap
between every line and read as a stack of cards rather than one column.
Adjacent scaffolding now ticks at a third of it.
The hook is the block list the rhythm rule already enumerates, minus prose,
rather than `data-conversation-scaffold`: that marker is absent on a
multi-call tool group — most of a real run — and present on rows nested
inside one, so it both missed the lines that needed tightening and moved
ones that didn't.
An open file edit is the exception. A diff is the deliverable, read like a
PR, so it keeps the full block gap on both sides while the scaffolding
around it stays tight. A streaming turn seals blocks into separate bubbles
where the flex gap would restore the full gap, so that seal is corrected to
match — and skipped when either side carries a diff.
Tab-descending into a folder from the @ popover re-types the token as a
bare `@apps/desktop/` so the next complete.path lists its children. That
is right while typing, but a bare token is not a reference —
REFERENCE_PATTERN only matches @kind:value — so a draft sent with one
rendered as plain text and attached nothing at all.
Promote it to @file:/@folder: on the way out, the same shape url-refs.ts
uses for bare links: on the committing space, on paste, and on submit for
a path that never got its space. A '/' is required so a handle like
@teknium1 is never mistaken for a path.
displayContentForMessage re-derived every ref from the attached context
block and re-emitted it as a detached list above the text. Now that the
token survives expansion, that list duplicated the inline chip. Hoist
only the refs the prose is missing, so turns persisted by an older
backend still render their chips.
Empty Enter while busy was a hard no-op, so a queued turn could only be
sent early via the panel's send arrow or Cmd+Shift+K. With prompts
queued, a second Enter now promotes the head and interrupts, mirroring
the idle empty-Enter drain. Nothing queued keeps the old no-op.
The panel's send-now row action switches from a bare up-arrow to the
return glyph, so the row states the keybind the double-send uses.
#72336 removed the count from the flat list and #72912 from the entered
project, but three sites still tallied rows: search results, each
messaging group (Telegram, Discord, …), and cron jobs.
With them gone SidebarCount never renders a count — its one caller is
the projects-loading spinner — so rename it SidebarSectionMeta.
The backdrop shipped a leva control panel — a Shift+Y dev tweak surface
for opacity, blend mode, filters and a radius scalar — that has never
been touched since the app landed. Its hooks ran in every build, dev and
packaged alike: only the panel's visibility was gated on
`import.meta.env.DEV`, not the two `useControls` calls or the zustand
store behind them. Inline the values it was already rendering with and
delete the dependency; leva was the only thing importing it in the tree.
One of those controls was doing real damage. `--radius-scalar` shipped as
0.6 in styles.css, but the slider's 0.2 default was written onto the root
element on mount, so every window that mounts the backdrop rendered at
0.2 and every window that doesn't kept 0.6. The token now declares 0.2 —
the value the chat has actually rendered at all along.
The remaining static values (0.025 opacity, difference blend, 160dvh, top
left, invert) become classes; saturate(1)/brightness(1) were identity and
are dropped.
Use short static labels (Session actions / Actions) instead of
Actions for <name>. Trim toast fallback, settings echoes, YOLO click
lectures, and fat gateway/appearance/notifications intros.
Drop tips on dialog/overlay/find-bar/review/master-detail close buttons.
Stop tip-wrapping connection/gateway/timer/context/cron/webhook chrome
that already names itself on screen; keep tip only when there's a real
gateway reason. Drop the titlebar swap paraphrase.
Typing a second slash command in the composer went dead whenever the
message started with one. `/work /cle` offered nothing, while `do /work
then /cle` completed fine — which read as an intermittent glitch rather
than a rule.
Two regexes detect a slash, and the `^`-anchored command shape was tried
first. Its argument tail (`(?:\s+\S*)*`) swallows the rest of the line,
so a later `/skill` parsed as an argument to the first command; a command
that takes no options then suppresses the popover outright, and every
slash after the first was unreachable.
Only the first slash can be an invocation, so detect the inline shape
first. It requires a whitespace-preceded slash sitting at the caret, so
it can't take over ordinary argument completion (`/personality alic` has
no second slash) — it fires only where completion was already dead.
