feat(web): optional Working shelf for running sidebar threads - #14582
chledowski wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
Threads with a running turn can now collapse into a Working shelf, like the snoozed shelf. Off by default; enable it in Settings > General. The open thread stays in the list until you leave it, and monitoring-only threads shelve only with their own switch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Findings
-
Low (performance): turning the shelf on or off doesn't change the extra recompute.
apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx:2680-2690. The thread partition memo now listsrouteThreadKeyas a dependency every time, but it only reads it whenworkingShelfis true.- Failing case: the setting is off by default. With it off, every thread navigation still re-runs the whole pass: it splits all threads into sections, works out snooze and settle state, and sorts each section. Before this PR, navigation didn't trigger that work. On large sidebars, every user pays this per click for a feature they haven't turned on.
- Fix: add
const workingShelfRouteKey = workingShelf ? routeThreadKey : null;, compare against it in the partition, and list it as the dependency instead ofrouteThreadKey.
-
Low (stale comment, violates the "comments move with the code" rule):
apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx:4781-4785. The comment says "Settled and snoozed are the ONLY things that collapse a row: every other thread is a full card." The code below it (isCard = section === "active" || section === "pinned") now also renders working-shelf rows as slim rows.- Failing case: a maintainer who trusts the comment will assume working rows are cards and get layout or drag sizing wrong.
Sidebar.drag.tsalready treats working rows as slim when it computesslimHeight. - Fix: reword it so the working shelf is included, e.g. "Shelved rows (working, snoozed, settled) are the only slim rows…".
- Failing case: a maintainer who trusts the comment will assume working rows are cards and get layout or drag sizing wrong.
-
Low (missing test):
apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx:2627-2642. The key behaviour rules for shelving are written inline in the component memo and no test covers them:- pinned beats the working shelf;
- the open thread is never shelved;
- snoozed and settled beat the working shelf.
The tests only cover
belongsOnSidebarWorkingShelf, which is the status-to-shelf mapping.- Failing case: a later reordering of the
if/elsechain, or dropping thethreadKey !== routeThreadKeyguard, would still pass every test. The second change would bring back the original bug: the thread you just sent a message in disappears into the shelf. - Fix: move the per-thread section choice into a pure helper in
Sidebar.logic.ts, e.g.resolveSidebarThreadSection(thread, { routeThreadKey, workingShelf, includeMonitoring }). Add table tests for pinned, the open thread, snoozed and monitoring cases.
No correctness, security or data-loss defects found.
Checked
- Inputs: the PR body (no linked issue) and the full diff of all 9 files at head
8d1d53d9cc. I confirmed the checkout'sHEADmatches that commit. I also applied the repo's AGENTS.md rules. - Drag logic (
Sidebar.drag.ts,Sidebar.logic.ts):- Drop targets: a drop right after the working header resolves to the working section and is rejected. Dropping onto
working-headeritself resolves to the end of the active list. - Snoozed and settled headers: dropping onto either header while the working shelf exists is now rejected. That matches what already happens when a snoozed shelf sits above settled.
- Section boundaries: the pinned/active boundary detection now uses the working header first as the bottom of the active section.
- Gap handling:

- The contract adds defaulted booleans to both the schema and the patch.
- The detect, list and restore paths all include both new keys.
- The nested row appears only when the shelf is on.
- Searching for "Shelve monitoring threads" scrolls to the always-visible row through
targetId.searchableSettingusesitem.idfor the element id, so no ids are duplicated.
- Docs: the user-doc section is short and task-focused. Leaving out mobile is disclosed in the PR and in the docs ("On web and desktop").

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new opt-in Working shelf and related settings that alter production sidebar behavior when enabled. It also establishes defaults for the new user-visible settings, so human review is warranted before merging. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |
Only re-partition sidebar threads on navigation while the working shelf is on, move the open-thread guard into the tested helper, and update the slim-row comment to include the working shelf. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description clearly covers the problem, implementation, affected clients, behavior, screenshots, recordings, and verification. It omits the required Scope and approval section, including a triaged issue or explicit maintainer approval for this broader workflow change. Resolution Add a Scope and approval section with the related issue or discussion link and explicit maintainer approval. If no prior issue or discussion exists, explain why the change qualifies for an exception; this change adds broader sidebar behavior, so the setting alone does not qualify.

Problem
When several agents run at once, their Working cards fill the top of the sidebar. The threads that need you (finished, waiting for approval or input) get pushed down, even though there is nothing to do in a running thread until it stops.

This adds an opt-in Working shelf in Settings → General → Organization. It is off by default.

Turning the setting on (before: three Working cards in the list; after: one collapsed shelf):
