scotttongandClaude Opus 4.8 7fd321d622 feat(ui): use Lucide icons for task status glyphs (#9395)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators scan task state constantly, so the task **status**
vocabulary (backlog / todo / in progress / in review / done / blocked /
cancelled) has to read instantly
> - Those statuses render through one shared component, `StatusGlyph`,
whose icons were hand-rolled SVG geometry lifted from an internal spec
> - Hand-rolled glyphs are harder to reason about, drift from the rest
of the UI (which uses Lucide everywhere else), and mix fill/stroke
styles across statuses
> - This pull request swaps the hand-rolled geometry for named Lucide
icons — one clean, consistent icon family — with no change to colours,
sizing, or accessibility
> - The benefit is a status icon set that is consistent with the rest of
the app's iconography, trivially adjustable (change a mapping, not SVG
path math), and simpler to maintain

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No existing public GitHub issue. Describing the change in-PR
(feature/polish):

**Problem / motivation.** The task status icons in `StatusGlyph` were
bespoke inline SVGs (a half-filled disc for *in progress*, a filled disc
+ knockout check for *done*, ring+bar for *blocked*, ring+slash for
*cancelled*, etc.). The rest of the UI uses [Lucide](https://lucide.dev)
icons, so the status set was the odd one out — and its mixed fill/stroke
shapes were harder to scan and to tweak.

**Proposed solution.** Map each status to a Lucide icon and render that
instead:

| Status | Lucide icon |
| --- | --- |
| backlog | `circle-dashed` |
| todo | `circle` |
| in_progress | `rotate-cw` |
| in_review | `circle-dot` |
| done | `circle-check` |
| blocked | `circle-minus` |
| cancelled | `ban` |
| in_queue (covered-blocked) | `circle-minus`, recoloured blue |

Colours (the `--status-task-icon-*` tokens), the `sm/md/lg` size scale,
`currentColor` recolouring, and the `role="img"` / `aria-label`
behaviour are all unchanged — only the shapes change.

**Alternatives considered.** Keeping the bespoke geometry (rejected:
inconsistent with the app and harder to maintain).

**Related PRs** (linked for reviewer context, not dependencies):
- Refs #8580 — the merged PR that established the current hand-rolled
status glyphs this PR restyles.
- Refs #8838 — open PR forwarding Radix trigger props through
`StatusGlyph`; touches the same component (no overlap with this change).
- Refs #1760 — open proposal to redesign the *cancelled* status icon
specifically; this PR moves cancelled to Lucide `ban`.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/StatusGlyph.tsx`: replaced the per-status
hand-rolled SVG `glyphBody()` geometry with a `status → Lucide icon` map
(`circle-dashed`, `circle`, `rotate-cw`, `circle-dot`, `circle-check`,
`circle-minus`, `ban`). Kept the token-driven colour wiring, size scale,
`currentColor` recolouring, a11y label handling, and the `in_queue` =
blocked-icon-recoloured-blue behaviour.
- `ui/src/components/StatusGlyph.test.tsx`: updated to lock the new icon
mapping (per-status Lucide class, size scale, colour var, `in_queue`,
a11y) instead of the old geometry.

Net: two files, +74 / −138 (the component got smaller). Because every
status surface (list, board, detail header, status picker,
sub-task/blocked-by pills, chips) routes through `StatusGlyph`, this
single-component edit covers them all.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → **3/3 clean** (no hardcoded
colour/spacing/font values introduced).
- `pnpm typecheck` → clean across all packages.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` → **2509/2509 passing**, including the
updated `StatusGlyph` test.
- Manual: ran the worktree dev server and confirmed the new icons render
everywhere (task list, task detail, related-task chips, and the status
picker showing all seven).

**Storybook visual-regression note:** this is an intentional visual
change, so the status-icon stories will diff against the published
baseline. The baseline snapshots need to be regenerated and republished
by a maintainer (`pnpm test:storybook-visual:update` from a trusted
environment) as part of accepting this change — the visual-regression CI
check is expected to be red until then. No baseline is published in the
environment this PR was authored in, so that step is left to a
maintainer.

## Risks

- **Low risk / cosmetic.** No logic, data, or API changes — only the
rendered icon shapes. Colours, sizes, and accessibility labels are
unchanged.
- The most noticeable shifts are *in progress* (half-disc → rotating
arrow), *done* (solid disc+check → outline circle+check), and
*cancelled* (ring+slash → ban). These are deliberate.
- The only CI check expected to fail is the Storybook visual-regression
job, pending a maintainer baseline update (see Verification).

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), run in Claude Code with extended
thinking and tool use (file edits, local test runs, browser-driven
visual verification).
