DottaandPaperclip	eb9f954bae	fix(ui): stabilize steered chat activity presentation (#13246) ... ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - The task chat shows live agent work and user steering. > - Steered messages showed a second timestamp that did not match normal chat messages. > - Folded live work also changed height as new commands arrived. > - Status carets and dots did not use the same vertical alignment. > - This pull request gives these states one stable presentation. > - The benefit is a task chat that is easier to read while an agent works. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** Steered chat messages showed a separate queued or steered timestamp. Folded live activity could grow and shrink. Some carets and status dots did not align vertically. **Expected behavior** Steered messages use the normal timestamp. Folded live activity shows one latest line until the user opens it. Carets and dots use the same vertical center. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Open a task chat with a running agent. 2. Steer the chat and inspect the message timestamp. 3. Keep live activity folded while new commands arrive. 4. Compare the caret with the status dot in the Reconnecting state. **Paperclip version or commit** Current `master` before this change. **Deployment mode** Local development mode. ## What Changed - Use the normal timestamp for steered chat messages. - Keep folded live activity to one line and replace it with the latest activity. - Keep the full activity timeline available after explicit expansion. - Vertically align carets and status dots, including Reconnecting. - Add focused component tests and Storybook review states. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/components/task-chat/TaskChatRunnerTurn.test.tsx src/components/task-chat/TaskChatStatusPill.test.tsx src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts` (63 tests passed) - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` - `pnpm check:token-gates` - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook` ## Risks - Low risk. The change is limited to task chat presentation and its tests. - A live activity item can replace the folded text. The expanded timeline keeps the full history. > This fix does not overlap with planned work in `ROADMAP.md`. ## Model Used - OpenAI Codex. The runtime did not expose the exact model ID or context window. The agent used reasoning, tool use, and code execution. ## 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: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>	2026-09-11 21:26:44 -05:00
3 people	cbe6395cc5	fix(ui): task chat composer clears on send; align carets and composer with thread (#11772) ... ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - The task detail view uses a chat-style thread: agent turns, activity phases, and a message composer. > - A colleague's UX review found three defects: the composer draft stayed visible after send, disclosure carets in turns and status pills were misaligned, and the composer was not horizontally aligned with the thread column. > - These defects make the chat surface feel unpolished and cause confusion about whether a message was sent. > - This pull request fixes all three defects with small, targeted UI changes and adds regression tests for each. > - The benefit is a chat surface that behaves and aligns like users expect from a messaging UI. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No public GitHub issue exists for this. Description of the underlying problems: **What happened?** Three UI defects in the chat-style task view: 1. After a user pressed send, the composer kept the draft text until the server round-trip finished. Fast typers could see stale text and doubt the message was sent. 2. The disclosure carets on collapsed agent turns and the caret inside the status pill did not share one alignment axis. They rendered at different x-offsets and sizes. 3. The composer container had different horizontal padding than the thread column above it, so the input box did not line up with the message bubbles. **Expected behavior** The composer clears the instant a send starts. All disclosure carets sit on one vertical axis with one size. The composer's left and right edges align with the thread column. **Steps to reproduce** Open any task in the chat-style task view. Type a message and press Enter — watch the composer text. Collapse and expand agent turns — compare caret positions. Compare the composer's horizontal edges with the message bubbles above it. ## What Changed - `TaskChatComposer.tsx`: clear the draft synchronously when a send starts instead of after the request resolves; restore the draft if the send fails. - `TaskChatTurn.tsx` and `TaskChatStatusPill.tsx`: use one shared caret alignment (size, x-offset) for turn disclosure and status pill carets, with supporting utility styles in `ui/src/index.css`. - `TaskChatThread.tsx`: align the composer container with the thread column padding. - Added or updated unit tests in `TaskChatComposer.test.tsx`, `TaskChatTurn.test.tsx`, `TaskChatActivityPhase.test.tsx`, and `TaskChatThread.test.tsx`. ## Verification - Run `pnpm vitest run src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx src/components/task-chat/TaskChatActivityPhase.test.tsx src/components/task-chat/TaskChatTurn.test.tsx src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx` in `ui/` — 4 files, 64 tests, all pass. - Manual: open a task in the chat view, send a message, and confirm the composer clears immediately. Collapse/expand turns and confirm the carets align. Compare composer edges with the thread column; the alignment fixes were also pixel-verified with screenshots during local review. ## Risks - Low risk. All changes are render-layer only; no server or data changes. - The composer now clears optimistically. If a send fails, the draft is restored, so no user text is lost. - Caret alignment uses shared CSS utilities; visual regressions would show in the existing component tests and in any screenshot diff. ## Model Used - Implementation: OpenAI Codex CLI coding agent (Codex model family, agentic tool use) via Paperclip's Codex adapter. - Review, verification, rebase, and PR preparation: Anthropic Claude, model id `claude-fable-5` (extended thinking, tool use), via Claude Code. ## 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: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing> Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-20 00:17:55 -07:00
3 people	9b9631b724	feat(ui): chat-style tasks polish — rich-text composer, attachment chips, live-turn interstitials, mobile layout (#10707) ... ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Operators talk to their agents on the issue detail page. An experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view (#10606) makes that page read as a conversation instead of a ticket form. > - The first release of that view shipped with a plain-text composer, no visible narration while an agent works, and a desktop-only layout. > - Users write formatted replies, paste screenshots, and follow long agent runs from their phones. The experimental view should support all of that before it can graduate. > - This pull request is the next iteration of the same experiment: a rich-text composer with attachments, live-turn narration on the status line, cleaner settled-turn history, and a mobile layout. > - The benefit is a chat view that feels alive while the agent works and stays readable after it finishes, on desktop and mobile, still fully behind the existing opt-in flag. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature). Refs #10606 (the merged first release of the experimental chat-style task view; this PR iterates on it). Related PRs found in the dedup search: - #8228 — open PR that polishes the classic issue chat composer. It targets the flag-off legacy path; this PR only changes the flag-on experimental view. - #10466 — merged blockquote-recovery fix in the shared MarkdownEditor. This PR now reuses that editor inside the chat composer. **What existing behavior does this improve?** The experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view on the issue detail page (Settings → Experimental, `enableTaskChatRedesign`, default off). **Subsystem affected** UI (issue detail page, chat-style task view). **Current behavior** With the experiment enabled, the composer is a plain textarea with no formatting, no attachment preview, and no mention support. While an agent runs, the status line shows only a static label, and the agent's narration text is hidden. Finished runs render one settled row per turn, so a run with many short turns produces a long list of near-duplicate "Worked" rows, and turns without a comment append at the bottom out of order. On mobile, the desktop bounded-height thread makes the page scroll poorly. **Proposed behavior** The composer uses the shared MarkdownEditor: markdown formatting, mentions, image paste with thumbnail previews, and non-image attachment chips. Sending posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter. While an agent runs, the status line rotates playful status words and surfaces the agent's own narration as short interstitial updates: each update holds for a minimum dwell, is replaced only when superseded, and slides through a one-line viewport with tokenized motion. Back-to-back settled turns coalesce into one "Worked" row with summed durations and re-derived tool counts, and comment-less settled turns insert chronologically at their run's start time. On mobile, the thread renders in the document flow with window auto-follow and a sticky safe-area composer; the desktop layout is unchanged. **Reason and benefit** The chat view is only convincing if it feels like a conversation with a working agent. Rich text and screenshots are table stakes for chat input. Live narration gives moment-to-moment feedback without opening transcripts. Coalesced history keeps long-running tasks readable. Mobile support lets operators follow runs away from their desks. **Breaking changes** None. Every change is gated behind the existing `enableTaskChatRedesign` flag, which is off by default. The flag-off page is unchanged. ## What Changed - `TaskChatComposer` swaps its textarea for the shared `MarkdownEditor`: markdown formatting, mentions, image paste with object-URL thumbnail previews (revoked on clear and unmount), and posting on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter. - Non-image attachments render as chips on a new shared `ui/attachment.tsx` primitive (adds the `@base-ui/react` dependency it builds on). - New `status-whimsy.ts`: deterministic rotation of playful status words on the live status line. - Live interstitial narration: the transcript adapter tags agent self-talk, and the live status line shows it as ephemeral one-line updates with a ~4s minimum dwell, hold-until-superseded replacement, and a slide transition driven by new `--motion-line-scroll` tokens (cataloged in `motion-tokens.ts`, which a test keeps 1:1 with `index.css`). Hover affordance applies only to the status line, with no leading icon. - Settled-turn history: `coalesceSettledTurns` merges back-to-back settled agent turns into one "Worked" row (summed per-run durations, tool counts re-derived from the merged turn); `assembleThreadItems` inserts comment-less settled turns chronologically at run start instead of appending them at the bottom; settled turns render tool rows only (the separate thinking block component is removed). - The "Worked" summary attaches to the reply timestamp row, and thread timestamps are always visible. - Mobile layout: the thread renders with `scroll={false}` in the page scroll, a new `useWindowAutoFollow` hook keeps the window pinned to new content, the composer is sticky with safe-area padding, and the editor uses 16px text so iOS does not zoom on focus. The desktop bounded chain is untouched. - New `TaskChatDescriptionBubble` renders the issue description as the first chat bubble, and `McpIcon` gives MCP tools a distinct icon. - `IssueDetail.test.tsx` stubs `TaskChatThread`: the composer's `@mdxeditor` dependency cannot load under jsdom's CSSOM, and the suite exercises the flag-off path. ## Verification - `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN. - `node scripts/check-task-chat-motion.mjs` — OK (30 files scanned, seams present). - `cd ui && npx tsc -b` — clean. - `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,482 of 3,483 tests pass locally. The one failure is the `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row time-formatting test, which is timezone-sensitive: it fails identically on unmodified `origin/master` in a non-UTC timezone and passes with `TZ=UTC`. It is not related to this change. - Manual: enable "Chat-Style Tasks" in Settings → Experimental and open an issue with an assigned agent. Comment to start a run: the status line rotates status words and shows the agent's narration as short held updates. After the run, consecutive turns fold into one "Worked" row under the reply timestamp. Paste an image into the composer to see a thumbnail chip; attach a non-image file to see a file chip; send with Cmd+Enter. Open the same issue in a narrow viewport to see the document-flow layout with the sticky composer. - 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 composer now loads the shared MarkdownEditor inside the chat view. The editor is already used across the app (issue descriptions, comments), so its behavior is well exercised; composer-specific handling (paste, attachments, submit keys) is covered by new tests. - The transcript adapter changes how live narration and settled turns are derived from run logs. Malformed or legacy logs degrade to generic rows rather than crashing, and the adapter suites cover the merge and ordering rules. - Object URLs for paste previews are revoked on send-clear and unmount to avoid leaks; jsdom environments without `URL.createObjectURL` are guarded. - All changes are behind the default-off `enableTaskChatRedesign` flag. 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 - [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> Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-03 16:25:31 -07:00
scotttongandClaude Fable 5	c185e64b77	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>	2026-08-01 02:26:47 -07:00
