Face-to-face room titles don't tell repeat rooms with the same people apart (remainder of #132) #132
Found in a two-instance UI retest of the social plugin (main e884312; source checked on 649bebe). Small copy/clarity items, grouped to keep the tracker short.
Rooms can't be told apart: several face-to-face rooms are all titled "Face-to-face room".
Near-duplicate labels: per-friend Auto-accept vs room-header Auto-send: two names for the same idea ("don't ask me each time").
Crowded header: "Friends' Bots · 0" sits right next to the "2 to approve" badge.
Expected
The sender's real Bot name (Chief) in every approval view.
Room title includes something distinguishing: e.g. Room 482913 · 14:05 · Alice, Bob.
One term for the toggle, with one short hint.
Count and approval badge separated or merged into one short badge.
Repro
Join two face rooms in a row; hold a Bot reply in one; look at the sidebar Friends' Bots header and the approval card.
Likely cause
fix(social): face-to-face tile UI, message sync and simpler + menu (#124 #125 #126) #127's wording is not view-specific: the sidebar jump list (pendingTitle) and the in-chat card both use readableParty(item.from, 'Bot') in plugins/social/client.js. item.from comes from approvalView in plugins/social/src/social.js, via localNameOf(item.bot_id) (flybot.bot.list().find(bot => memberOf(bot.id)?.bot_id === botId)?.name ?? cleanText(botId)). When the held message's bot_id is a face-room-only identity that doesn't match a local member.bot_id, the fallback is the raw id, readableParty rejects it as a bot_xxx id and the label degrades to 'Bot'. Fix idea: also look the Bot up by room-only identity/handle, and fall back to the room's local Bot name.
Titles default to the literal 'Face-to-face room' (social.jssetRoomGrant, applyFaceSnapshot; room-membership.jsupsertFaceRoomspec.name || room?.name || 'Face-to-face room'; client.jsFaceRoomCard). Build the title from code/time/participants when none is given.
3/4. plugins/social/client.js: Auto-accept label (per friend) and Auto-send (FaceAutoSend); header in FriendsBots.
Product note: usability and simplicity are an explicit owner priority for this plugin: few buttons, short copy, short click paths. Please prefer removing or merging UI over adding more.
Partly fixed on main (566f1e6) by #134. One item remains; I changed the title to match.
Fixed:
Bot → the room: the hold label now resolves the real Bot name, including face-room-only identities (localNameOf looks up the room's local Bots). Test: #126: a face-room hold shows in that chat with a readable name.
One term: the per-friend and room-header toggles are both Auto-send now. No "Auto-accept" label is left in the client.
Crowded header: Friends' Bots shows the Bot count or "N to approve", never both.
Remaining:
2. Room titles.faceRoomTitle() returns Face-to-face · Alice, Bob when owners are known, and only falls back to the room code or time when there are none. Two face rooms in a row with the same people are still titled identically, which is what the issue asked to fix. Suggested: always append a distinguishing part, as in the issue's Room 482913 · 14:05 · Alice, Bob. The literal Face-to-face room still appears as a fallback for closed/left rooms (social.js around lines 949, 1995, 2053; room-membership.jsupsertFaceRoom; client.js card).
