thinking traces interrupted tool groups with permanent rows. web/desktop and mobile now group thoughts with tool activity in one changing, expandable line; completed work remains under "worked for".

verified 118 web timeline tests, 107 mobile activity tests, both client typechecks, and scoped lint through blacksmith. real opencode builds exercised live transitions and expanded completed history in the web client. mobile runtime remains unverified.

before, normal-speed real build:

before: separate thinking and tool rows during a stopwatch build

after, normal speed with 60 seconds of idle waiting removed:

after: thoughts share the changing tool line, then expand under worked for

implemented with gpt-6 in codex.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This changes live chat activity rendering in both web and mobile, adding a new expandable activity-history model and altering grouping, streaming status, and disclosure behavior on existing customer paths. The scope and runtime impact are broader than a small isolated presentation fix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request groups reasoning messages with related tool activity in web and mobile thread timelines. It adds expandable activity rows, stable live-row identities, parent-row disclosure anchors, grouped rendering, and tests for boundaries, folding, expansion, and failure states.

Changes

Reasoning activity grouping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Web activity-group model
apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.ts
The web timeline adds activity-group rows, groups qualifying same-turn reasoning and work entries, preserves row identity, and updates folding and trailing-tool handling.
Web activity-group rendering
apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.tsx
The web timeline renders grouped activity rows, expands reasoning and work batches, and anchors disclosure state to the parent activity row.
Web activity-group validation
apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts
Tests cover grouping, stable live-row identity, boundary handling, folding, expansion, failed-tool handling, and entries without turn IDs.
Mobile activity-run model
apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.ts
The mobile feed adds grouped reasoning data, cached activity runs, stable tool identities, and mixed reasoning/tool work-toggle construction.
Mobile reasoning disclosure rendering
apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadFeed.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/thread-work-log.tsx
The mobile feed renders grouped reasoning messages in one disclosure, uses feed-entry identity for expansion, and accepts the brain summary icon.
Mobile activity-run validation
apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.test.ts
Tests cover grouped reasoning, stable live-row identity, tool takeover, expansion, boundary handling, and failed-tool indicators.

A failed tool may remain shown as in progress in the web activity timeline. This is localized UI-state inconsistency but should be corrected before relying on failure status.

apps/mobile/src/features/threads/thread-work-log.tsx:946
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use an activity label for the hidden-item hint.

appendMixedActivityRun passes activities.length + thoughtCount as hiddenCount. ThreadFeed forwards it unchanged to ThreadWorkGroupToggle. The toggle always formats this count as “tool call(s)” in accessibilityHint. Its summary-based accessibilityLabel and summaryToolIcon do not override that hint. A thought-only row with four messages therefore announces “show 4 tool calls,” and mixed rows overcount tool calls. Use neutral wording such as “activity item(s)” or pass a separate tool count.

Merges `pingdotgg/t3code` `6d1d549441` into the fork, from base
`0bf2d6b010` — 50 commits.

- **Landed:** 410 files against 407 in the upstream range; the gap of 3
is `docs/fork/gaps.md`, `inventory.json` and `upstream-merge-log.md`.
Everything in the range landed.
- **Fork delta:** 777 files.
- **Verification:** all 9 `verify.mjs` checks pass, tests green in all
15 packages.
- **Unsupported methods:** ADD 0, DROP 0 —
`packages/contracts/src/rpc.ts` and `auth.ts` are untouched. Upstream
added no WebSocket method in this range.

## The one that mattered

Upstream's pingdotgg#12015 moved the **entire body of the thread route** out of
`apps/web/src/routes/_chat.$environmentId.$threadId.tsx` and into a new
upstream file, `apps/web/src/components/ThreadRouteView.tsx`, rendered
by the `_chat` layout so a draft's promotion keeps the same `ChatView`
mounted. The route file is now a seven-line stub.

Three fork deltas lived in that file. They moved with it:
`useAdoptedThread`, `useAutoFollowThread` and the
`serverThreadAwaitingFirstAnswer` argument to
`resolveThreadRouteRenderState`, all reading `target.kind === "server" ?
target.threadRef : null` — a draft's reserved ref is the viewer's own
work and the listing carries it without being asked. The
`unlisted-thread-adoption` and `thread-follow` inventory entries were
re-pointed at the new file.

The fork's own delta guard is what caught this. The merge was clean and
typecheck was green; `features.test.ts` failed because
`useAutoFollowThread` was no longer in a file the inventory said it had
to be in.

## Conflicts

8 files, each resolved with the verdict `preflight.mjs` printed. Details
in the tracker entry; the short form:

| file | verdict | resolution |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `routes/_chat.$environmentId.$threadId.tsx` | unlisted | took
upstream's stub, deltas relocated (above) |
| `chat/MessagesTimeline.tsx` | `message-origin-upstream-files` | both
sides of `TimelineRowActivityState`, its memo and its deps merged;
dropped upstream's now-unused `GitPullRequestIcon` |
| `ThreadStatusIndicators.tsx` | `thread-status-indicators` | fork's
memo above upstream's early return — hooks before any conditional
`return null` |
| `settings/ProviderInstanceCard.tsx` | unlisted, in
`moatless-provider-auth` | kept the `FEATURES.providerConfiguration`
ternary, took upstream's container-query classNames inside it |
| `settings/SettingsPanels.tsx` | `settings-surface-gates` | re-stated
the fork's browser clause onto upstream's rewritten `proactive-panels`
text |
| `BranchToolbar.tsx` | `branch-toolbar-gates` | import block, both
sides kept |
| `RightPanelTabs.tsx` | `right-panel-surfaces` | import block, both
sides kept |
| `pnpm-lock.yaml` | `theirs — lockfile` | `--theirs` then `vp i`,
re-derived lockfile committed |

## Path policy closed a hole

`resolution-check` listed eight unlisted paths both sides changed;
**seven carried a real fork delta**, so next merge's `theirs` fallback
would have dropped them silently. All seven are now listed — five new
entries (`command-palette-gates`, `diff-panel-gates`,
`provider-settings-gates`, `chat-layout-route`,
`client-runtime-exports`) plus `rightPanelStore.test.ts` added to
`right-panel-surfaces`. The eighth is the thread route stub, which
resolved to upstream byte for byte.

## Usable as-is

Client work that runs against the Moatless backend today:

- **pingdotgg#12015** worktree setup card no longer flashes or shifts (the
relocation above) · **pingdotgg#12144** thread reading positions are preserved ·
**pingdotgg#12162** header spacing stays stable when the sidebar drawer opens
- **pingdotgg#8641** timestamps on tool rows and turn folds · **pingdotgg#12152** those
timestamps sit before the disclosure chevron · **pingdotgg#12147** thoughts group
into the changing tool activity line
- **pingdotgg#12075** send-shortcut and follow-up controls · **pingdotgg#12160** rich text
composer on by default · **pingdotgg#12165** composer task rows aligned ·
**pingdotgg#11787** tooltips on the composer's environment and workspace controls
· **pingdotgg#12082** simpler agent approval prompts
- **pingdotgg#12139** diff panel defaults to the working tree · **pingdotgg#12190** diff
files collapse by default · **pingdotgg#12142** a linked pull request wins over
an automatic diff
- **pingdotgg#12143** themes picked from chat with colour previews · **pingdotgg#12138**
provider settings adapt to content width · **pingdotgg#12167** follow-up and
license controls aligned
- **pingdotgg#12026** unsupported environments render as neutral rows with their
machine icon · **pingdotgg#12030** a discovered machine's icon survives a relay
refresh · **pingdotgg#12001** dropped folders become path chips locally and are
refused on remote environments
- **pingdotgg#11144** pull-request icon state centralised — a refactor the fork's
own badge filtering now rides

Not fork surfaces, landed for completeness: the mobile work (pingdotgg#11841,
pingdotgg#12169, pingdotgg#12177, version bump), the CLI installer progress bar (pingdotgg#12044),
docs (pingdotgg#11696), release chores and the Fable 5.1 badge (pingdotgg#12173).

## Unsupported in Moatless / needs implementation

- **Pull request surface** — `FEATURES.pullRequestSurface` is off, so
none of this merge's pull-request work is reachable: **pingdotgg#11994** (submit
PR comments with Cmd/Ctrl+Enter), **pingdotgg#12150** (comments easier to scan,
`apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/**` plus a `pullRequest.ts`
contract field), **pingdotgg#12168** (cached GitHub PR details reused across
entry points), **pingdotgg#12125** and **pingdotgg#11728** (author avatars and their
fallback). **pingdotgg#11706** needs backend work on top: private-repository
media in PR tabs goes through a new `packages/contracts/src/assets.ts`
proxy that Moatless would have to serve. Opening the surface means
deleting the `pullRequestSurface` entry and its gates, and dispatching
`pullRequests.list` / `.detail` / `.activity` — only
`pullRequests.summary` is served today.
- **Keybindings settings page** — **pingdotgg#12175** turns every keybinding
command into a searchable settings row pointing at
`/settings/keybindings`, which `FEATURES.serverAdministration` keeps out
of the sidebar and redirects on a typed URL. The rows still match in
settings search and land on that redirect. Left as-is this merge — it is
the same shape as the six `snap-shot-*` rows that have always done this,
and the one-line fix (a `settingsPathEnabled(item.to)` filter in
`filterAvailableSettingsSearchItems`) is a behaviour change that belongs
outside a merge. Recorded in `gaps.md`. Closes properly when
`server.upsertKeybinding` / `removeKeybinding` are dispatched.
- **Device hub** — **pingdotgg#12017** (detect unsupported legacy Android
command-line tools) and **pingdotgg#12033** (resolve Node for standalone helper
scripts) are both `apps/server/src/device/**`. `FEATURES.deviceHub` is
off and Moatless runs no device host at all, so there is nothing to do
and nothing to reproduce.

## Backend behavior to consider reproducing in Moatless

All recorded in `docs/fork/gaps.md`; nothing in this repository holds
them open.

Checkpoint and turn path, under _Runtime fixes upstream made to its own
server_:

- **pingdotgg#12154** keep large sparse checkouts on the fast checkpoint path —
streams `git ls-files --full-name --sparse -z -v` under a 4 KiB cap and
pins `sparse.expectFilesOutsideOfPatterns=false`. Without it a sparse
checkout large enough to blow the output limit drops to the slow path on
every checkpoint.
- **pingdotgg#10944** flush checkpoint objects and refs before publishing them —
otherwise a reader that acts on the announcement can find a ref pointing
at an object that is not there yet. Rare, unreproducible, permanent when
it lands.
- **pingdotgg#8432** keep a ready checkpoint when a later placeholder arrives
(`ProjectionPipeline.ts`) — the symptom is a checkpoint reverting to
pending and never coming back.
- **pingdotgg#11970** keep VCS waits from blocking turn completion
(`ProviderRuntimeIngestion.ts`, `decider.ts`) — a slow git call between
the provider's last event and the turn being marked done. Slower in a
sandbox than upstream.

Settlement, under _Settlement rules Moatless owns_:

- **pingdotgg#12161** settle on the `thread.pull-request-linked` / `-synced`
event with a per-thread sweep rather than waiting for the next periodic
one.
- **pingdotgg#12176** make the cancellation path uninterruptible around
record-and-rollback, so a cancelled worktree setup records its
settlement instead of being left mid-setup.

Client features that are inert until the backend emits or honours
something:

- **pingdotgg#11784** provider thinking traces — `orchestration` gained a
`reasoning` message role and `thread.message.reasoning.delta` /
`.complete` commands behind a `reasoningMessages: true` opt-in on
subscribe. The client renders them when they arrive; Moatless emits
none, so there are no traces.
- **pingdotgg#10822** complete counts and progressive large diffs —
`review.getDiffPreview` gained an optional `file` input (one file's
patch) and an optional `files` stat array ("absent on older servers").
Moatless dispatches the method and honours neither, so large diffs stay
truncated with incomplete counts.
- **pingdotgg#11519** native provider slash commands, exposed server-side and
consumed by the mobile client.
- **pingdotgg#12115** OpenCode Go, Cursor and Grok subscription limits in the
usage scan.

## Verification

`tripwires`, `duplicate-adds`, `resolution-check`, `inventory-check`,
`unsupported-methods`, `lockfile`, `fmt:check`, `lint` and `typecheck`
all pass; tests pass in all 15 packages. Two failures were found and
fixed on the way:

- `TS2552: Cannot find name 'label'` in `ThreadStatusIndicators.tsx` —
pingdotgg#11104/pingdotgg#11180 hoisted `label` onto the presentation object and the
fork's multi-link popover branch still read the removed local.
- The delta-guard test failure described above.

Two operational notes for the next run are in the tracker entry: `vp i`
needs `NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=6144` in this sandbox, and
`--force-with-lease` needs the explicit `<ref>:<sha>` form with the SHA
read from `git ls-remote`, because this clone only fetches `main` and
the branch has no lease-eligible tracking ref.
