fix(web): offer undo after unpinning a thread

[saphid]

What Changed

Unpinning a thread by mistake had no quick way back; the user had to find it and re-pin it, losing its place. Now a successful unpin shows a Thread unpinned toast naming the thread, with an Undo button for five seconds. Undo re-pins it at its original pinned order key.

The toast lives in the shared useThreadActions hook, so every web and desktop unpin path gets it: sidebar button, context and multi-select menus, keyboard, and dragging out of the pinned section. Multi-select unpin shows one toast per thread. The existing unpin confirmation setting is unchanged. Undo can only be clicked once, and a failed restore shows an error toast.

Action-kind and scoped-thread claims in threadUndo.ts keep stale toasts from overriding newer choices. A later pin, unpin, or reorder expires the previous pin Undo without affecting unrelated action kinds. showUndoToast owns the single-use guard, closure, claim release, and restore-error reporting. The unpin callback captures the original order key and supplies its reverse action. Archive and snooze adoption remain separate work. No wire contract changes.

UI Changes

Recorded in the Electron app with a disposable three-thread project (base 7220dfe2c9, candidate 7bf021896a). The rebase and follow-up commits don't change what the user sees.

Before: unpinning moves the thread out of the pinned section with no Undo.

After: unpin, click Undo to restore the original position, then unpin again and let the toast expire.

Validation

Current verification for the Undo refactor:

• In apps/web, vp test run src/hooks/threadUndo.test.ts src/hooks/showUndoToast.test.ts src/hooks/useThreadActions.test.ts src/hooks/useThreadActions.undo.test.ts: 18 passed. Covers action-kind isolation, stale claims and toasts, repeated clicks, close cleanup, failure/interruption handling, and restoring the captured pin order key.
• vp exec tsc --noEmit: exit 0. Targeted formatting and lint pass with the existing react(refs) warning in useThreadActions.ts.
• The original Electron recordings above demonstrate the unchanged normal unpin/Undo/expiry behavior. This internal refactor does not change the displayed controls or restoration behavior; no new full-client run is claimed. Browser-only and remote/relay sessions were not exercised separately.
• Independent SWE-2 Max review found a lost original-order regression assertion; the existing test was retained and the focused suite rerun. A fresh final SWE-2 Max review attempt timed out after 180 seconds without a verdict (launcher timeout status 124); no clean final independent review is claimed.

Maintainer re-review and current-head CI are still required before merge.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added an Undo action to the confirmation shown after unpinning a thread.
  • Undo restores the thread to its previous pinned position, or to the top when no previous position is available.

• Bug Fixes

  • Unpin failures now display an error notification, except when the action is intentionally interrupted.
  • Prevented outdated Undo actions from reversing newer pin or unpin changes.
  • Improved coordination of pinning actions across different parts of the app to keep thread pin status consistent.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a user-visible Undo workflow to every successful thread unpin, including a compensating pin action that restores the captured position. The change is localized and covered by focused tests, but it changes an existing product workflow and should receive human review.

Thanks for this — the stale-Undo handling in the current head looks correct, and the focused tests pass locally. I'd like one structural change before merging.

Please generalize the undo machinery instead of inlining it in unpinThread. We want the same "did a thing → toast with Undo" affordance for archive and snooze (and likely more later), and everything in unpinThread at useThreadActions.ts#L605-L650 is generic except the snapshot (pinOrderKey) and the reverse call (pinThread). The single-fire guard, toastManager.close, onClose: claim.finish, and the failure toast would all be copy-pasted by the next PR.

Concretely:

• Turn threadPinAction.ts into an action-agnostic module (e.g. threadUndo.ts) whose claim key includes the action kind alongside the scoped thread key, so an archive claim isn't expired by a pin/reorder and vice versa.
• Extract one helper along the lines of showUndoToast({ title, description, undo, failureTitle, claim }) that owns the guard, close, release-on-close, and error toast. unpinThread should then be a handful of lines: snapshot, mutate, claim, showUndoToast(...).
• Archive/snooze themselves can be follow-ups using the helper; you don't need to ship them here. (Archive will need a decision about navigating back since archiveThread moves the active thread to a draft — out of scope for this PR.)

Once the helper exists, most of useThreadActions.undo.test.ts (which mocks React's useCallback/useMemo/useRef to call the hook as a plain function — brittle the moment the hook gains useState/useEffect) can become a plain unit test of the helper.

Non-blocking:

• Restoring the saved pinOrderKey can collide if the user drags another thread onto exactly that key before clicking Undo; the sort's fallback handles the tie, so fine to ignore.
• A one-line mention in docs/user/thread-sidebar.md that unpin offers a brief Undo would be enough, once the behavior is settled.

Store claim.finish in toast data. Expired or dismissed Undo toasts leave their claim in currentActions. Later pin, unpin, or reorder actions for the same thread replace or remove that entry, and the removed toast has no remaining Undo trigger. However, actions for different threads can leave one entry per thread, so currentActions can grow without bound.
