What Changed

Show Waiting in the sidebar when a thread is blocked on unresolved structured user input, not just permission approvals.

This change:

  • adds shared thread-status derivation in session-logic
  • updates the sidebar to distinguish blocked threads from actively running threads
  • adds unit coverage for status precedence
  • adds a browser regression test for the sidebar state

Why

Before this change, a thread could still appear as Working in the sidebar even when the agent had already stopped and was waiting for the user to answer a structured prompt.

That made the sidebar status misleading and made it harder to notice that the next action was required from the user.

UI Changes

Before:

  • blocked-on-user-input threads still appeared as Working
sidebar-status-before

After:

  • blocked-on-user-input threads appear as Waiting
sidebar-status-after

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for the UI change
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Note

Display a 'Waiting' status pill for blocked threads in the web Sidebar and add awaiting-response snapshot support in ChatView.browser.tsx

Introduce deriveThreadStatusState to drive Sidebar pills, mapping 'awaiting-response' to 'Waiting'; refactor Sidebar to use the derived status; add an awaiting-response orchestration snapshot and tests in apps/web/src/components/ChatView.browser.tsx and apps/web/src/session-logic.test.ts; implement status derivation in apps/web/src/session-logic.ts.

📍Where to Start

Start with deriveThreadStatusState in apps/web/src/session-logic.ts, then review its use in Sidebar via threadStatusPill in apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx.
