## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The sidebar identifies the current organization.
> - An optional plugin can replace this navigation surface.
> - The built-in title appears before discovery and module loading
finish.
> - This pull request reserves the trigger until its owner is known.
> - The organization name appears once, while failures retain built-in
navigation.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #13832. Searched related pull requests and issues; no duplicate fix
found.
**What happened?**
The organization switcher renders a provisional built-in title before an
installed replacement loads. Unrelated plugin imports can also affect
its loading state.
**Expected behavior**
Reserve the trigger with a neutral placeholder, then show the resolved
navigation surface. Keep the built-in menu on failed or absent
contributions.
**Steps to reproduce**
Install an organization-switcher contribution. Delay session, company,
contribution, and module responses. Reload the page and watch the
trigger through each stage.
## What Changed
- Reserve the trigger through account, company selection, slot
discovery, and module loading.
- Distinguish failed session lookup from pending lookup so errors retain
usable navigation.
- Load and await only contributions matching the requested slots.
Observe completion of imports started by another consumer.
- Document loading behavior and add regression coverage for loading,
failures, unrelated modules, and identity transitions.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed, including Rust checks.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- All 629 UI test files passed: 6,593 tests. The 42 focused
UI/API/plugin tests also passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` and `git diff --check` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` was also attempted. The broad local server run was
stopped after recording skill-cache/channel fixture failures outside
this diff (for example, runtime skill source status `missing` instead of
`available`). The original cause is not established. All latest-head
Linux CI gates pass; the complete UI suite and affected local checks
pass.
- Desktop (1440px) and mobile (390px) Chromium checks passed with real
host components, dynamic module loading, and the built Account bundle.
Delayed fixture responses produced exactly two title states: empty
placeholder, then the resolved name. A slow refresh preserved the title
and trigger dimensions; absent/failed plugin fallback and Escape
dismissal passed, with zero uncaught browser errors. This is browser
component integration, not a live signed-in tenant test.
## Risks
A cold load displays a neutral placeholder until discovery completes.
Absent, ambiguous, failed, and invalid contributions still use the
built-in menu. No migrations or authorization changes. Scoped module
loading changes when an unrelated contribution is imported; each surface
loads its own matching modules.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, code execution, and browser
verification. The exact deployment ID and context window are not exposed
in this session.
