DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b184e40108 perf(ui): serve every project list from one includeArchived read (#20395)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board UI reads the company project list in many places: the
sidebar, starred projects, the command palette, the new-task dialog, and
archive-aware pages such as the Mine inbox
> - Active-only consumers read `GET /projects`, and archive-aware ones
read `GET /projects?includeArchived=true`, under two React Query keys
> - A Mine load therefore fetched the same large payload twice (580–590
KB each on our dev instance)
> - The two responses differ only by archived rows; the server's active
list is exactly the rows where `archivedAt` is null
> - This pull request makes every consumer share the
`includeArchived=true` query, and active-only consumers filter it with
`select`
> - The benefit is one project read per page instead of two

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Duplicate project list reads on page load.

**Subsystem affected**
Board UI project queries (`ui/src/lib/company-projects-query.ts` and its
consumers).

**Current behavior**
A cold Mine load sends both `/companies/:id/projects` (sidebar) and
`/companies/:id/projects?includeArchived=true` (inbox).

**Proposed behavior**
One `includeArchived=true` read serves both. Active-only consumers apply
`selectActiveProjects`.

**Reason and benefit**
The project list is one of the largest shell payloads. Reading it once
saves a large response on every page that has both kinds of consumer.

## What Changed

- New `companyProjectsQuery(companyId, { includeArchived? })` in
`ui/src/lib/company-projects-query.ts`. It always uses the
`includeArchived: true` key and fetch. For active-only use it adds a
stable, module-level `select` that keeps rows without `archivedAt`.
- 22 files that read the active list now spread
`companyProjectsQuery(...)`, and so do the plugin SDK project picker and
16 archive-aware pages that wrote the shared key and fetcher inline.
Their `enabled` and other options are unchanged. `OnboardingWizard`'s
one imperative read is unchanged. `pages/Inbox.tsx` already reads the
same key and fetcher, so it shares the entry without an edit.
- Invalidation: project mutations and live events invalidate
`queryKeys.projects.all(companyId)`, which matches the shared key. The
onboarding wizard invalidated the old active-only key; it now
invalidates `projects.all`.
- Tests: new `company-projects-query.test.tsx` (one request for both
consumers, correct filtering, and one refetch after `projects.all`
invalidation). Three existing tests (`CommandPalette`, `CompanyExport`,
`GitHubBotManagement`) now seed or expect the shared key.
- New browser check
`tests/perf/collections/shared-project-list.spec.ts`: after the Mine
inbox read completes, the page has sent no active-only project request.

## Verification

- `pnpm verify` passes.
- `ui`: the consumer suites (`CoordinatorSidebar`, `SidebarProjects`,
`SidebarStarredProjects`, `CommandPalette`, `NewIssueDialog`,
`AgentWorkPanels`, `CoordinatorNeedsYou`, `IssueDetail`,
`ProjectDetail`, `Projects`, `CompanyExport`, `ChatExecutionDefaults`,
`GatewaysList`, `Search`, `IssueProperties`, `persisted-query-cache`)
pass.
- Browser check:
`PAPERCLIP_COLLECTION_PERF_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:<port> pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/perf/collections/playwright.config.ts
shared-project-list.spec.ts`. It passes on this branch and fails on
`master`.

## Risks

- A page that needs only active projects now downloads archived rows
too. For most companies that is a small difference; the duplicate read
it removes is a full copy.
- The server does not order either list, and consumers sort for display,
so filtering on the client keeps behavior.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, browser). 1M-token context window. Extended
thinking was off.
