DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 7329eaf353 perf(ui): open sidebar Recents tasks from cache (#20450)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board UI sidebar has a Recents list of the tasks a person opened
last
> - The Recents list renders from a local snapshot, but its links had no
warm-up. A click waited for the task-detail code and about nine
first-frame reads
> - Task lists (Inbox, Tasks) already warm a task on hover, press and
click, and #20355 added a batched `chat-bootstrap` read that had no UI
consumer
> - The hosted database is CPU-bound, so a fix must add at most one read
per page load and must not compete with the page's own reads
> - This pull request gives Recents the same open-intent prefetch as
task lists, warms the task-detail code, and preloads the top ten recent
tasks with one `chat-bootstrap` request after the page is idle
> - The benefit is that a click on a recent task shows its chat from
cache, without a wait for the API

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20355 (server read this PR consumes). Builds on #20389, #20398 and
#20419.

**Is your feature request related to a problem?**
Opening a task from the sidebar's Recents was slower than opening it
from a task list. The Recents links had no prefetch. The task page
waited for its first-frame reads after the click.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Recents links use the task lists' open-intent prefetch. When the page is
idle, one batched request loads the first frame of the most recent tasks
into the task page's caches.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Per-task prefetch of every recent task. That makes up to ten times nine
requests per page load, which the hosted database cannot afford.

**Additional context**
I searched open PRs and remote branches for "chat-bootstrap" and
"instant task opens". The only related work is the server-side branches
that merged as #20355. There is no other in-flight UI consumer of
`chat-bootstrap`.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/hooks/useIssueNavigationPrefetch.ts`: the open-intent handlers
from `IssueLinkQuicklook` move into one hook (light warm on pass-over;
`history: true` on a resting hover or focus, a mouse or pen press, and a
click). `IssueLinkQuicklook` now uses the hook. Its behavior does not
change.
- `ui/src/components/RecentTaskNavItem.tsx`: one Recents link wrapper
that applies the hook. The classic list (`SidebarRecentTasks`), the
Coordinator task rows and `DesignSidebar` use it. `SidebarNavItem`
accepts the handlers through a new optional `linkHandlers` prop.
- Classic Recents links now open `/issues/<identifier>` (Coordinator
already did). The old UUID link remounted the task page after a redirect
to the identifier route.
- `ui/src/hooks/useRecentTaskOpenWarmup.ts`: when Recents shows a task,
it fires the task-detail code warm-up (`useWarmTaskDetailCode`). After
two frames, a visible tab, no fetching queries and an idle callback, it
sends one `issues/chat-bootstrap?ids=` request for the ten most recent
tasks. It skips tasks whose first frame is cached and fresh. It sends no
request for an empty list or a hidden tab. It sends at most one request
per account per page load. Unmount or an account change aborts the
request.
- `ui/src/lib/issueChatBootstrapCache.ts`: `seedIssueChatBootstrap`
writes each field under the keys the task page reads, for the requested
ref, the id and the identifier: core issue, recent comments, comment
input facts (one batch, through the new `seedIssueIdBatch`), recent
activity, the recent run window (through the new shared
`buildRecentIssueRunWindow`), interactions, attachments, live runs and
active run. An explicit `null` active run is stored. A missing field is
not stored. It does not replace data that is as new or newer, data with
a read in flight, or data with a pending invalidation. Keys whose page
merges observed history (comments, activity, runs, input facts) are
filled only when empty. Items for another company are ignored.
- The seed fills the `?view=core` key, not the full detail key.
`seedIssueDetailCache` is not used: the core payload cannot stand in for
the detail read's related data, and seeding it there would suppress that
read.
- `issuesApi.chatBootstrap` client method.
- `tests/perf/collections/recent-task-open.spec.ts` and its README
section.

## Verification

Local disposable instance (`local_trusted`, production UI build,
embedded PostgreSQL, collection fixture plus 12 comments on each of 8
recent tasks, streamlined UI with the Coordinator sidebar). Journey:
open Projects with 8 Recents, wait for network idle plus 3 s, click a
recent task, measure until its latest comment is on screen. Each run
uses a fresh browser context (empty HTTP cache and storage apart from
Recents). Median of 5 runs, same server and fixture for both arms:

| Arm | Click to first chat frame | Idle page API requests |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `master` (b6f4008f9b), loopback | 227 ms (first run: 249 ms) | 24
(range 21–25) |
| This PR, loopback | 134 ms | 22 (range 21–27) |
| `master`, +150 ms on each API response | 455 ms | 19 |
| This PR, +150 ms on each API response | 135 ms | 20 (+1
`chat-bootstrap`) |

With added latency, the first frame no longer depends on API latency.

- `PAPERCLIP_COLLECTION_PERF_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:<port> pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/perf/collections/playwright.config.ts
recent-task-open.spec.ts recent-task-summaries.spec.ts`: 5 passed. On
`master` the two assertion cases fail (0 `chat-bootstrap` requests; 10
first-frame reads after the click).
- Reads that still follow a click on a preloaded task: full detail (`GET
/issues/:id`), `work-products`, `documents`, `feedback-votes`,
`tree-control/state`, `tree-holds`, `runner-goal`, `browsers`, and the
`read` mark. The `chat-bootstrap` payload does not cover them. None
gates the chat's first frame (the frame shows at 135 ms while every API
response waits 150 ms).
- Unit tests: `RecentTaskNavItem.test.tsx` (intent levels, href),
`useRecentTaskOpenWarmup.test.tsx` (one request for the top ten, code
warm-up, wait for page reads, hidden tab, fresh entries skipped, once
per account, user isolation, abort on unmount),
`issueChatBootstrapCache.test.ts` (each key in the endpoint shape,
`null` versus missing fields, company isolation, no downgrade of newer,
in-flight or invalidated data, merge keys filled only when empty).
- `ui` Vitest: `src/components src/hooks src/lib src/api` 694 files
passed; `src/pages src/App src/context` 188 files passed. `pnpm
check:token-gates`: clean. `pnpm verify` exits 2 because a `tests/` file
is a global CI input; required CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Low to medium. One extra read per page load when Recents has tasks
without a fresh cached first frame. The read starts only after the
page's own queries settle, and the server reads at most two tasks at a
time.
- A live event that arrives while the preload is in flight, for a task
with no cached keys, can leave seeded data up to 30 s old until the next
live event or the next open after the stale time. Inbox hover prefetch
has the same window.
- Classic Recents links now use the identifier route instead of the UUID
route. The task page already redirected UUID links to this route.
- `tests/perf/collections` is a manual suite. CI does not run it.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, browser automation through Playwright).
Standard context window.
