Custom thread groups can now be chosen before a thread starts, reordered by dragging, and applied to a sidebar selection. Forks inherit the source thread's group.

The new-thread view and command palette share a persisted draft selection. Active means no custom group. First-send creation saves membership directly. Unavailable groups and older environments block a grouped send without losing the draft's choice; explicit group deletion falls back to Active. Bulk moves are available from the context menu and Cmd/Ctrl+K, retaining failed threads in the selection for retry. Group ordering reuses the existing per-group order keys and keeps the arrow controls.

Validation: vp check, vp run typecheck, and focused web, server, contract, and client-runtime tests passed. A separate Fable write-capable review is complete. Keyboard reordering uses the existing arrow buttons.

Verified in an isolated dev build: direct picker and reload persistence, explicit New Thread default, group-first palette creation, a real first send, fork inheritance, selected-thread context-menu moves, palette moves back to Active, pointer dragging across Active, rename/reorder combinations, and arrow controls. Checked unavailable-group recovery, stale selections, and rejected rename rollback. Browser warnings from the existing ChatView key spread and legend-list configuration were unchanged.

Implemented with GPT-6 and Claude Fable 5.1 through Codex.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds custom group selection for new threads, preserves group identifiers through drafts and server orchestration, supports fork inheritance and bulk movement, and adds drag-based group ordering.

Changes

Custom group creation and persistence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Creation contracts and server projection
packages/contracts/..., apps/server/src/environment/..., apps/server/src/orchestration/..., packages/client-runtime/...
Creation commands, bootstrap metadata, thread.created events, server capabilities, projections, and client state now carry customGroupId. Forked threads inherit the source group.
Draft selection and first-send flow
apps/web/src/composerDraftStore.ts, apps/web/src/hooks/..., apps/web/src/components/ChatView*, apps/web/src/components/chat/...
Drafts persist group selection across context changes and hydration. First send validates server support and includes the group in single-thread and fan-out bootstraps.
Palette and bulk thread movement
apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette*, apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx, apps/web/src/lib/threadGroupMove*, docs/user/thread-sidebar.md, README.md
The palette supports creating threads in groups. Sidebar and palette actions move selected threads independently and report failures. Documentation describes these actions.
Drag-based group ordering
apps/web/src/components/sidebar/ThreadGroupsDialog*
The groups dialog supports pointer dragging across the Active divider. Rename and reorder saves can overlap.

A thread sent while group metadata is loading can be created in Active instead of its selected group. Resolve catalog readiness before merging.

In `@apps/web/src/components/ChatView.logic.ts`:
- Around line 509-512: Update the helper containing customGroupId resolution to
receive catalog readiness from useThreadGroupCatalog(). Block sending while a
non-null customGroupId cannot yet be validated; only convert it to null after a
ready catalog confirms the group is absent, preserving valid selections.

In `@apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx`:
- Around line 2428-2431: Update the fallback condition in the CommandPalette
selection logic to check selectedThreadKeys.size === 0 instead of
selectedThreads.length === 0, while preserving the existing threadCustomGroups
and openUnarchivedThreadRef checks.

In `@apps/web/src/components/sidebar/ThreadGroupsDialog.tsx`:
- Around line 242-244: Update the save failure callback in the planned group
save flow to clear the submission marker and restore the input value to
group.name when the rejected submitted name is still present. Only perform the
input reset for non-null names whose trimmed input value matches the submitted
name, preserving successful saves and unrelated edits.
