fix(ui): keep iPhone task chat stable while typing and streaming (#17232)
## Thinking Path > - Paperclip keeps human-agent conversations attached to tasks. > - People need to read and reply comfortably from a phone. > - The mobile task page scrolled the document and positioned its composer with a sticky navigation offset. > - Safari's keyboard resize and later focus pan could move that document again, causing overlap, gaps, and jumps while editing. > - This change gives mobile and desktop the same message scroller and a normal flex footer. > - CSS owns the layout. A small VisualViewport adapter handles the visible height and Safari's stale document focus scroll. > - Streaming no longer measures every historical row while following the bottom. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Fixes https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/issues/16497 Related: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15245 also addresses keyboard positioning. This change additionally removes mobile document auto-follow and reduces historical-row measurement work. ## What Changed ### One scroll owner and a natural-flow composer Before: ```text Document scroll + mobile auto-follow └─ Conversation + sticky composer + animated navigation offset ``` After: ```text Height-constrained conversation shell ├─ Header ├─ Message scroller — owns follow/reading position └─ Composer — normal flex footer Navigation stays at the layout viewport bottom, behind the keyboard ``` - Reuse TaskMessageScroller on mobile. Delete the separate 136-line useWindowAutoFollow implementation and its superseded tests. - Keep the composer in normal flex flow. Remove its sticky bottom positioning and navigation-offset animation. - Constrain the mobile conversation with CSS. Classic tasks and other pages retain their existing layout. - Add a 47-line useMobileVisualViewport hook. It changes shell height on resize, not on typing or incoming messages. It never translates the shell or hides navigation. - Reject Safari's stale document focus pan only for an unzoomed, keyboard-open conversation. Inner message and editor scrolling stay native. - Keep a saved reading anchor when reading older messages. Skip historical-row measurements while following the bottom. - Update tests and the existing mobile streaming fixture. Keep only two layout-contract sentences in DESIGN.md. **Scope:** 19 files, +367 / -482 lines: 115 fewer lines overall. Production UI/CSS alone is +158 / -190 lines. No API, database, or dependency changes. ## Verification Bottom-follow is also saved explicitly for Back navigation. A new regression covers returning after rotation changes message wrapping, without restoring historical-row scans. ### Physical iPhone acceptance Tested on an iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 26.7.1. The reporter confirmed: - Opening the keyboard positions the composer correctly immediately, before any typing. - The installed web app works. - Long drafts, insertion, deletion, and sending are acceptable. The reporter described long drafts as not perfect but good enough. - Reading older messages during incoming output preserves position; returning to the bottom resumes following. - Rotation, keyboard close/reopen, and attachment/picker transitions work. Remote inspection corroborated the corrected open-keyboard state: visible height 358px, composer bottom 358px, document scrollY 0. Navigation remained display:block at y=631px, behind the keyboard. Earlier candidates failed device testing. The decisive trace showed a correct viewport resize followed about one frame later by a stale 337px native document focus pan. Typing caused Safari to correct it. Tests now cover that event ordering, the reverse ordering, and zoom panning. ### Performance evidence The existing TaskChatPerfHarness supplied 200 historical responses, 4,000 collapsed tools, and 30 updates at 100ms intervals. | Measurement | Before | After | | --- | ---: | ---: | | Historical row geometry reads | 6,000 | 0 | | Renderer main-thread work | 331.2ms | 273.5ms | | Largest task | 27.1ms | 12.3ms | This is one instrumented Chromium development run on the Mac, not a phone benchmark or a statistical speedup claim. The zero-row-measurement result also has a regression test that failed with 6,000 reads before the change. To reproduce, serve ui/tests/task-chat-perf.html with the UI Vite server. Record 30 streaming updates at the bottom. Inspect TaskMessageScroller and row getBoundingClientRect calls. Existing historical-render tests also confirm that unchanged Markdown does not reparse on live-tail updates. ### Automated and full-app checks - [Current-head CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39862524031) is green: 54 successful checks and 2 skipped checks. Greptile rates the current head 5/5, confirms the Back-navigation fix, and has no unresolved findings. - **601 focused tests pass** across the task page, layout, composer, scroller, viewport adapter, and historical-render coverage. - UI typecheck and production build pass. - Token gates, Storybook catalog checks, and catalog/map structural tests pass. - Independent review of the final source tree passed with no findings. - The full source app ran on macOS with an isolated database and saved conversation history. A reply sent through the real UI persisted after reload. Provider execution was not part of this layout test. - **Full local repository checks did not pass.** Build/typecheck stop at missing Rust cargo. The full test run reported 142 failed server tests and 3 failed suites; missing cargo is confirmed in those three suites. The other server failures were not diagnosed in this UI task. Current-head CI now supplies the repository-wide evidence; these local failures remain disclosed. ## Risks - Mobile conversations now share the desktop scroll owner. Navigation, loading, history restoration, and reading-position tests cover that change. - The keyboard-state threshold is a 120px viewport reduction. Accessory-only keyboards retain the normal navigation spacing. - The document-scroll fallback is scoped to rendered conversations with an open keyboard at scale 1. It does not handle inner scrolling or prevent zoom panning. - Long-draft behavior is accepted, with minor polish still possible. - The UI change is reversible and requires no data migration. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 Astra, exact model ID gpt-6-astra, through OpenCode. Capabilities used: reasoning, code editing, tests, Chromium performance tracing, and Safari remote inspection. The harness does not expose the context-window size. An independent general-purpose subagent reviewed the final tree; its serving model ID was not exposed. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with Fixes / Closes / Refs OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links - [x] My branch name describes the change and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run focused tests locally and they pass; repository-wide failures are disclosed above - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge |

perf(ui): speed task loading without shifting the conversation (#16849)
## Thinking Path > - Paperclip's board should open a task quickly while keeping its conversation and composer stable. > - The browser currently downloads unrelated screens and unopened dialog implementations before task content appears. > - Splitting routes alone creates many shared requests and did not improve measured cold loading. > - This change groups the startup and task dependency trees, preloads the task chunk, and defers optional routes and dialogs. > - Existing coordinated history reveal stays intact so late data does not insert content above the reader. > - Hidden routes must not overwrite saved scroll positions with zero-height geometry. > - Repeated browser measurements and delayed-response tests establish the result independently of bundle-file size. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #14758. Related prior work: #10463 and #14727. **What existing behavior does this improve?** Cold task-page opening downloads and evaluates code for other screens and globally mounted, unopened dialogs. A direct task link should reach its saved conversation sooner without moving already-visible messages or the composer. **Subsystem affected** Board UI startup, route boundaries, dialog loading, task scroll restoration, and the issue-detail performance harness. **Proposed behavior** Load optional screens and dialogs when needed, keep startup requests bounded, and preload the task route. Preserve the current history reveal policy. Keep the shell mounted during route loading and preserve the reader's position when a route is temporarily hidden. **Additional context** The older bundle-splitting attempt in #10463 is still open from August. This implementation targets current master and deliberately preserves today's editor, composer, and transcript reveal behavior. It does not implement the alternative transcript-row design discussed in #14758. ROADMAP.md does not describe overlapping startup-bundle work. ## What Changed - Lazy-load board routes, standalone screens, the legacy layout, onboarding, and unopened create dialogs. - Keep activated dialogs mounted across close/reopen to retain their existing draft lifecycle. - Group startup and issue dependencies and preload the emitted issue chunk from the production HTML. - Contain route loading within the shell and retain existing chunk-error recovery. - Contain dialog import failures locally, support cancellation, and keep setup dismissed after a late download. Warm the task module from task lists and keep the small chat redirect eager. - Wait for task-creation dialog fields in the browser fixture before filling an explicit title. - Ignore zero-height scroll geometry while a route is hidden. - Reuse the same persisted performance fixture between builds, record actual network spans, and distinguish concealed loading content from the ready thread in browser assertions. ## Verification - Production UI build and UI TypeScript check passed. - Recovery follow-up: 74 focused UI tests passed; the cancellation change passed 23 focused tests plus all 131 onboarding tests (the latter with a 15-second per-test timeout on the contended local host). - Setup cancellation was reproduced against the prior production build and verified fixed after releasing the held real wizard download. - 91 focused UI tests passed; the final route registrations were checked again after making standalone screens lazy (33 routing tests passed). - All eight real-browser layout scenarios passed: delayed comments, late media, properties changes, growing drafts, older history, Back navigation, deep links, desktop/mobile same-task links, request failure/retry, and stalled native/log reads. - Browser walkthrough: read a populated task, submit one reply, refresh, navigate to Projects, and return. The reply persisted once and the normal composer remained usable. - Token design gates passed. The separate repository-wide publish-token scan fails on pre-existing references to the local maintainer username in unchanged files; this change adds none. - Production-build measurements use the same persisted task, local API/database, fresh browser contexts for cold opens, and five samples per scenario/profile. These measurements do not establish deployed staging latency. - Final head `076466816a`, consecutive before/after production builds: five samples per scenario/profile, same saved task and server. Cold Fast 4G/4x CPU content paint: **5,775 → 4,248 ms (26%)**; issue API server timing was 23 ms in both sets. Warm Fast 4G: 989 → 971 ms. JavaScript transferred before content: **2,596 → 1,722 KiB (34%)**. - Unthrottled cold content paint: 1,306 → 676 ms; warm: 269 → 224 ms. These local timings vary with host load. Earlier measurements showed about 20% cold improvement, and a contended intermediate run had substantially higher API latency; those runs are retained in the local evidence. The final matched pair meets the proposed 25% target, but it does not establish a guaranteed 25% improvement across environments. - All four browser scenarios that failed on the first CI run passed locally after the readiness fixes; the subsequent CI run passed all eight browser shards. - Fault-injection browser checks: delayed route loading preserves shell geometry; a failed route recovers through Back; cancelled or failed dialog loading preserves an unsent reply; Back dismisses pending setup and contains its late failure. - Final head `076466816a`: all CI gates green (55 successful checks, no pending or failed checks); Greptile 5/5 with no actionable findings and all review threads resolved. ## Risks - Dynamic chunks add a loading state on first entry to optional screens and dialogs. Route failures use the existing error boundary. Optional dialog failures are dismissible without unmounting the board; retrying a rejected import requires a reload. - The task preload prioritizes the primary board journey, including when another screen is opened first. - Chunk grouping should be revisited when the dependency graph changes; bundle size alone does not establish a speedup. - No API, authorization, migration, editor semantics, or transcript-reveal policy changes. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code execution, and browser verification. The runtime does not expose a more precise model identifier or context-window size. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing> |

fix(ui): polish core navigation and task layout (#12793)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple approved vocabulary, and the active voice. --> ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Operators use the main navigation, contextual navigation, and task chat throughout the product. > - The recent core UI refactor left uneven spacing and inconsistent navigation styles. > - The Apps label also did not match the Connectors product language. > - The account area did not provide a clear direct path for feedback. > - This pull request aligns these related core UI surfaces and preserves their existing behavior. > - The benefit is a more consistent interface with clearer navigation and balanced task-chat layout. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** This improves the core sidebar, Settings navigation, Connectors catalog, task-chat layout, and account controls. **Subsystem affected** `ui/` — React and Vite board UI. **Current behavior** The task chat had uneven edge treatment. Settings used a separate contextual-navigation style. Apps used inconsistent product labels. The account footer did not expose a direct feedback control. **Proposed behavior** The task chat keeps balanced content padding while its scrollbar sits at the properties boundary. Settings replaces the primary sidebar with a matching navigation surface and a Back to app link. Apps uses Connectors and Browse labels. The account footer provides a dedicated feedback icon with a tooltip. **Reason and benefit** These changes make related navigation and layout patterns predictable. They reduce duplicate labels and improve access to feedback. **Breaking changes** None. Routes, APIs, and stored data do not change. ## What Changed - Balanced the task-chat content gutter and moved its scrollbar to the properties-panel boundary. - Reworked Settings navigation to replace the main sidebar and use the shared primary-sidebar style. - Added a Back to app navigation item to Settings. - Renamed Apps to Connectors in the main navigation and added the `Unplug` icon. - Renamed the Connectors contextual item to Browse. - Added the Connectors top-level header and aligned the search field with the connector cards. - Added account-footer hover states and a direct feedback flag with a Share feedback tooltip. - Removed the duplicate Feedback item from the account popover. - Added regression coverage for each changed UI surface. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/components/AppsSidebar.test.tsx src/components/CompanySettingsSidebar.test.tsx src/components/Layout.test.tsx src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.test.tsx src/components/task-chat/TaskMessageScroller.test.tsx src/pages/apps/Browse.test.tsx` — 90 tests passed. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — passed. - `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed. - `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed. - `env PAPERCLIP_PLAYWRIGHT_CHANNEL=chrome PAPERCLIP_E2E_PORT=3201 pnpm exec playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts tests/e2e/apps-dark-mode-shots.spec.ts tests/e2e/sidebar-takeover.spec.ts` — 10 tests passed. - The full workspace typecheck and build reached the Rust runner and stopped because `cargo` is not installed on this machine. - The full test suite exposed unrelated server and workspace-runtime failures and was stopped after the affected suites completed. No changed UI test failed. - Manually verified the changed Settings, Connectors, task-chat, and account-menu surfaces in the running app. ## Risks - Low risk. The change affects layout and navigation presentation only. - The Settings sidebar now replaces the main sidebar by design. Users must use Back to app to return to the application navigation. - The task scrollbar offset depends on the existing responsive page gutters. Regression tests cover both narrow and desktop spacing. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`. ## Model Used - OpenAI Codex, `gpt-5.6-sol`, extended reasoning with tool use and code execution.

feat(ui): complete the task workspace (#12640)
## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - The task page is the main place where people guide and review agent work. > - Native runner events already project into the existing task chat on the lower stack. > - The larger task workspace must support those events without breaking direct adapters. > - Legacy questions, final replies, empty transcripts, and classic controls must keep their behavior. > - This pull request completes the provider-neutral task workspace experience. > - The benefit is one coherent task surface for native and direct execution paths. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #12639. Refs #12617. Refs #12352. **Subsystem affected** Task chat, task detail, side panels, interaction forms, and transcript presentation. **Problem or motivation** The task page does not provide one complete workspace for live activity, plans, questions, queued guidance, files, and documents. Earlier native UI work also exposed compatibility risks in legacy question and reply paths. **Proposed solution** Add the task workspace components and provider-neutral protocol presentation. Keep runner-only controls behind runtime facts. Preserve all direct-adapter composer, transcript, interaction, and finalization behavior. **Alternatives considered** A separate runner page would duplicate task behavior. Replacing legacy transcript logic would create unnecessary adapter regressions. **Roadmap alignment** This work supports the unified task experience and the Cloud and Sandbox agents milestone. ## Stack - Base PR: #12639. - Lower PR: #12638. - This PR contains only its 119-file UI delta against `runner/remote-wss-transport`. - The next stack PR adds administrator and observability controls. ## What Changed - Added a reusable task workspace side panel for files and documents. - Added provider-neutral cards for tools, plans, questions, protocol activity, and progress. - Added queued guidance and richer composer state. - Added compact and expanded interaction presentation. - Added live activity, thinking, usage, recovery, and final reply presentation. - Added document annotations and task deep links. - Added bounded question validation and response handling. - Preserved native runner event projection from master. - Preserved legacy channel-less replies and explicit final reply precedence. - Preserved direct-adapter and classic-interface controls. - Did not change server execution selection, Rust code, migrations, workflows, or `pnpm-lock.yaml`. ## Verification - GitHub Actions will run UI tests, repository tests, typecheck, build, browser tests, security, and policy gates. - Tests cover active, settled, empty-transcript, interaction, queued-message, plan, question, file, document, and classic-interface states. - Compatibility tests cover direct adapters and native runner projection together. - Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses GitHub Actions for this series. - `git diff --check runner/remote-wss-transport...HEAD` passes. - The delta contains 119 UI-only files. ## Risks - This is a large task-page change. - Most files are new focused components and tests. - Shared transcript code keeps the lower native projection and legacy direct-adapter fallbacks. - Runner-only controls use adapter and runtime facts. - No execution path or rollout flag changes in this PR. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6. The work used high-reasoning agent mode, repository tools, GitHub tools, and parallel code-audit agents. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with Fixes: / Closes / Refs OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal or instance-local Paperclip issues or links - [x] My branch name describes the change and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id - [ ] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented risks above - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge |

test(ui): wait for conditions, not durations, in three flaky tests (#11499)
Three tests yielded a fixed number of macrotasks before asserting - five in one case, one in another - which is ample on an idle machine and not when the suite runs many workers in parallel. The container was still empty, or the state had not landed, and the assertion failed on behaviour that works. `vi.waitFor` retries against a time budget instead, so a loaded worker gets more turns rather than a failure. `DocumentAnnotationPopover` is a different race and is fixed differently. The popover element is in the DOM as soon as React commits, while the effect that registers the document-level keydown and pointerdown listeners runs afterwards. A test dispatching in that gap loses the event outright, and a lost event cannot be recovered by retrying an assertion - so the render is wrapped in `act` to flush passive effects, and the waits only cover the smaller race that remains. Refs #11484. Verified stable over six consecutive runs of the three files, and the full ui suite passes. Other instances of the same class remain: the full suite still shows an occasional failure in a different unrelated test on each run. `App.cases-routing.test.tsx:104-108` is the clearest one - the identical fixed-turn loop this PR replaced in its sibling `App.activity-routing.test.tsx`, three turns instead of five - and takes the same one-line fix.

feat(ui): refine the chat-style task workflow (#11263)
## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - The issue detail view is the main place where people read work and guide agents. > - The chat-style task view needs clear messages, controls, properties, and document feedback. > - Dense metadata and disconnected controls make active work harder to scan. > - This pull request refines the existing chat-style task workflow across desktop and mobile layouts. > - The benefit is a clearer issue thread with faster access to the controls that guide work. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** The change improves the chat-style issue detail view that was introduced in [#10606](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10606) and expanded in [#10707](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10707). **Current behavior** The issue thread spreads task controls across the page. Agent-turn metadata competes with the message content. Document annotation comments use inline placement that limits the document reading area. The mobile composer can overlap the bottom navigation. **Proposed behavior** The issue view keeps the thread focused on message content. It moves supporting controls into the properties area, adds searchable assignment, restores the sub-task tree, docks document comments in a side gutter, and keeps the mobile composer clear of navigation. **Reason and benefit** People can scan active work faster and find task controls without leaving the issue. The layout also gives documents and mobile conversations more usable space. **Breaking changes** None. The change updates presentation and interaction behavior in the existing issue UI. ## What Changed - Refined task-chat message spacing, metadata, agent bubbles, and composer alignment. - Added searchable assignment and restored sub-task navigation in the properties pane. - Moved document annotation comments into a right-side gutter. - Kept the mobile composer above the auto-hiding bottom navigation. - Added and updated focused component tests for the changed interactions. ## Verification - `pnpm check:token-gates` - `TZ=UTC pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/components/InlineEntitySelector.test.tsx src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` - The token gates report 3/3 clean. - The focused test run passes 124 tests in 5 files. - Visual snapshot baselines were not updated. This follows the `doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot verification demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)." ## Risks - The changes affect several related issue-detail layouts. A browser review should cover desktop and mobile widths before merge. - The monitor-row test formats time in the host timezone. The verification command sets `TZ=UTC` to match CI. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`. ## Model Used - OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The context-window size is not exposed in this environment. The model used reasoning, repository tools, code execution, and GitHub tools. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing> |

feat(ui): chat-style task view behind an experimental flag (#10606)
## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Operators spend most of their time on the issue detail page. They talk to the assigned agent there through comments. > - The current page reads as a ticket form. The thread sits below properties, the composer sits mid-page, and live agent activity renders as dense transcript logs. > - Talking to an agent is a conversation. A chat-first layout matches that mental model better than a ticket form. > - A layout change this large must not disrupt current users. It needs a safe opt-in path and full parity with the existing thread features. > - This pull request adds a chat-style task view behind a new "Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle. The flag is off by default and the existing page is unchanged when it is off. > - The benefit is a focused, readable conversation with the agent: live tool activity folds into compact summaries, the composer stays at the bottom, and properties, plan, and artifacts move into header tabs. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature). Related PRs found in the dedup search: - #4489 — an earlier, closed attempt to promote the conversation to the primary surface on issue detail. This PR is a fresh, flag-gated take on the same goal. - #8837 — an open PR that proposes a two-column task layout. It restructures the same page but keeps the ticket paradigm; this PR is orthogonal because it is opt-in and chat-first. **Subsystem affected** UI (issue detail page). **Problem or motivation** The issue detail page presents agent conversations as a ticket: properties first, thread below, composer in the middle of the page, and raw transcript noise during live runs. Users who mainly converse with their agents must scroll past chrome to follow the conversation, and live activity is hard to read. **Proposed solution** An opt-in chat-style view of the issue detail page, gated by a new "Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle in Settings → Experimental. With the flag on, the thread fills the center pane, the composer docks to the bottom of the viewport, Properties / Plan / Artifacts become header tabs, live turns show a status pill with the current tool action and elapsed time, and settled turns collapse to a "Worked · N tools" summary that expands into per-tool rows. With the flag off, nothing changes. **Alternatives considered** Restyling the existing layout in place (rejected: too disruptive without an opt-out), and a separate chat page beside the issue page (rejected: splits the task's single source of truth). A per-request lab page (`/task-chat-lab`, dev-only) was kept for design iteration instead. **Roadmap alignment** ROADMAP.md "CEO Chat" wants lighter conversations that still resolve to real work objects. This PR keeps the core task-and-comments model — it only changes presentation, opt-in — so it does not duplicate that planned work. ## What Changed - New `enableTaskChatRedesign` instance setting, exposed as a "Chat-Style Tasks" experiment card in Settings → Experimental (shared feature catalog, validators, server instance-settings service, and UI settings page). - New `ui/src/components/task-chat/` component family: chat thread with turn grouping, agent reply bubbles, live status pill, collapsible turn summaries with per-tool rows, plan tab with a sticky CTA action bar, inline interaction cards, per-request mode chips, and a bottom-docked composer. - A shared tool taxonomy (`tool-taxonomy.ts`) maps tool names to verbs and icons; the status pill, tool rows, and the classic transcript view all use it. - A transcript adapter converts stored run logs into chat turns; it dedupes tool-call updates by `toolUseId` so tool counts match the expanded rows, and it keeps a tool row's first real name when later generic updates arrive. - Composer: posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter, supports image paste with object-URL thumbnail previews (revoked on clear/unmount), and uploads through the issue attachments route. - `IssueDetail.tsx`: with the flag on, pane tabs move to the header bar, the header is not sticky, and the chat fills the center; with the flag off, the previous layout renders unchanged. - Motion tokens for the new animations live in `ui/src/index.css` with a `motion-tokens.ts` catalog and a test that keeps the two in sync (the catalog now also covers the shared enter/exit/swap tokens that the decision/quicklook block declares). - A dev-only `/task-chat-lab` page with fixtures and a tweak panel for motion tuning. ## Verification - `pnpm typecheck` — clean across the workspace. - `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN. - `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,344 of 3,345 tests pass locally. The one failure is `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row time formatting, which is timezone-sensitive: it also fails on unmodified `origin/master` in a non-UTC timezone and passes with `TZ=UTC`. It is not related to this change. - `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 21/21 pass (covers the new setting). - Manual: start the dev server, open Settings → Experimental, enable "Chat-Style Tasks", and open any issue. The thread fills the page, the composer docks to the bottom, and Properties / Plan / Artifacts appear as header tabs. Assign an agent and comment to watch a live run: the status pill shows the current tool action with elapsed time, and the finished turn folds into a "Worked · N tools" summary. Disable the toggle and confirm the classic page is unchanged. - Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per `doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)". ## Risks - The flag-off path goes through the same `IssueDetail.tsx` file, so a regression there would affect current users. Mitigation: the classic markup renders through the same components as before behind explicit flag conditionals, and the full UI suite passes. - The transcript adapter interprets stored run-log formats, including legacy entries without `toolUseId`. Malformed logs degrade to generic tool rows rather than crashing. - The new view changes no server behavior other than one additive instance setting; it is additive and default-off. Overall risk with the flag off is low. ## Model Used - Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5), extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
