Social UI polish: friend settings shell, approval affordances, face-room copy (aesthetics/usability) #166

Closed

Description

@Birfy

From box UI testing on main e38460f (after #163). Owner priority: aesthetics, usability, consistency; prefer simplicity.

High

  1. Friend Bot settings is the full settings shell for only Auto-send + Remove this Bot (large empty pane). “Helper” repeats three times. Remove is a full-width bar and looks like the primary action. Prefer a compact popover/sheet.
  2. No visible settings control on the friend Bot row — path is right-click, or open chat → header → gear.
  3. Held outgoing line looks already sent (finished black bubble) while the approval card is also shown.
  4. A plain room message starts a Chief model turn even when the Bot is not @-mentioned. Room lines should not open a Bot turn unless mentioned (or an explicit room-Bot action).

Medium

  1. Two pending holds, no Approve all on the card/dock path used. Always approve styling/label does not match header Auto-send; one click enables room auto-send.
  2. Approval preview clips mid-word; chat bubble has the full sentence. Preview also prefixed To face room:.
  3. Sidebar “2 to approve” sits under Helper, not on the face-room row, so it reads as Helper’s queue.

Low

  1. Open-room system copy: two identical “joined; available to this room only” lines plus “Joining has ended… The number is no longer valid.”
  2. Face details: truncated title, single Details tab, lowercase open jammed against Auto-send/Leave, harness jargon 14.3K tok · Cache hit 90%.
  3. Composer accessible name still “Message or run a task, / commands, @ files or sessions” while placeholder is “Message Face-to-face…”.

Screenshots: friend settings and approval card from the 2026-10-17 box UI run.

    Owner follow-up (2026-10-17): layout still needs more polish after #168.

    Still open (layout)

    1. Friend Bot settings still opens the full settings shell (left nav + empty pane) for Auto-send + Remove — prefer compact sheet; Remove muted.
    2. No clear settings control on the friend Bot row.
    3. Face details chrome: lowercase open jammed next to Auto-send/Leave; title truncation; harness tok / cache jargon in owner UI.
    4. Composer accessible name still the old task string vs Message… placeholder.
    5. Approval card still floats bottom-left away from the held bubble/composer — needs tighter layout anchoring.
    6. (optional) Approve all when ≥2 holds; Always approve ↔ Auto-send naming.

    Done in #168 (keep closed)

    Held bubble pending style; preview wrap/prefix; room wait badge; duplicate joined lines; plain room line does not start Bot turn (#167).

    Working a follow-up PR for the layout items above.

    Closed by #169 (squash-merged onto main as 8020074): compact friend Bot settings sheet, sidebar gear, face Open chip, composer aria-label, approval dock alignment.
