Why: Process output folded on every text delta, successful tool
results disappeared after refresh, and generated files stayed plain
text instead of a card that opens a closable preview.
Evidence: npx tsc -b --noEmit (clean); npx vitest run (51 passed).
Impact: Live work stays expanded until the run ends, then folds to
one worked-time line. File cards open a per-conversation preview pane.
docx renders page by page, with mammoth if that fails.

Why: a busy conversation rejected further input, and the file list lived
only behind the workspace overlay.
Evidence: npx tsc --noEmit and vitest 42 tests, including outbox
append/edit/promote. The queue uses Collapsible and design tokens.
The files tab reuses ArtifactsPanel.
Impact: while a run is active, Enter queues the draft (edit, delete, or
send-now). Finished and failed runs drain the queue. HTTP 409 also
enqueues instead of only toasting. Backend serialization is unchanged.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Why: tool artifacts were only reachable via the collapsed process
section or the artifacts workspace; users had to read model text to
learn a file existed. Deliverables should appear directly in the
conversation as an openable card (ZCode/Kimi pattern) that opens the
right-rail preview.
Evidence:
- Conversation.tsx artifact_ref renderer upgraded from a small chip to
a deliverable card (icon + name + kind/size meta + preview affordance
+ single download action); whole card click = rail preview (the one
preview placement, fullscreen still reachable from the rail header)
- live.ts projects artifact items as content parts pinned after the
reply text, isomorphic with the new llm.go persisted order; card is
visible while streaming
- styles: deliverable-card uses tokens only (radius-lg card, bg-raised,
hairline border, mk-rise-in entrance); design-guard suite green
- vitest 40/40 (live.test pinned-tail case updated, messageparts.test
covers new persisted order plus legacy inline order); tsc clean
Impact: every generated artifact (docx/pdf/image/…) now surfaces as an
in-chat card immediately, click-to-preview in the right rail with real
formatting for styled docx; workspace panel (⌘1) unchanged as the
file-system fallback.
Refs: task feature/deliverable-docx-r1 (backend: write_docx + pinned
artifact_ref)
Why: Approved redesign phase 4: process folds, long-reply folds, thinking
blocks and context-observation fold move to the @ui Collapsible primitive
(two-layer height+fade animation, delayed unmount, open-state memory);
tool calls render as ToolBlock rows with running sweep and paired results;
the live bar gains the ZCode worked-time line with sweep; input placeholder
states the backend's honest busy semantics (serialized per conversation).
Evidence: npx tsc -b clean; npm test -> 39 passed (details-guard included);
npm run build succeeds; combined make test recorded in the Dev task card.
Impact: Conversation.tsx replaces all <details> usage (guard-enforced);
ProcessParts pairs tool_call with its trailing tool_result into ToolBlock;
styles.css rewrites fold selectors for the Collapsible structure and adds
message mount animation (mk-rise-in); no contract or API changes.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev task feature/ui-tokens-v3 (phase 4).
Why: Phase 1 of the approved frontend redesign: re-skin the shell to the
Zai look (floating rounded panels on an inset base with 4px gutters),
invert primary buttons to the mono scheme, and move every font size onto
the --fs-ui-* scale. Also wires @ui/motion.css and replaces local
keyframes with mk-* utilities.
Evidence: npx tsc -b clean; npm test -> 38 passed (new host-side
design-guard ratchet); npm run build succeeds. Combined Dev make test
recorded in the Dev task card.
Impact: styles.css fully re-tokenized (panel borders/radius, primary
button color-mix hover, login brand panel in near-mono navy); inline
fontSize literals in components replaced with scale tokens except one
decorative glyph in the ratchet baseline. No component class names or
behavior changed.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev task feature/ui-tokens-v3; DESIGN.md (parent repo).
Why: the merge commit left tsc broken in two spots - an artifact.created
handler still pushing to the removed LiveState.parts, and main's newer ui
icons not yet checked out in this worktree; also Part was imported unused.
Evidence: artifact.created now appends an artifact LiveItem (process=true,
matching the backend's ae8e5d0) projected to artifact_ref by
liveToMessage; new test asserts it lands after its tool call. tsc -b exit
0 after initializing the ui submodule checkout; vitest 33/33.
Impact: live artifact chips render inside the process stream and fold on
reconcile; no functional change elsewhere.
Refs: feature/chat-process-split-r1
Why: main advanced with PR #15/#16 (part-order preservation, artifact
downloads, cross-session UI); task-sync requires the branch to carry it.
Evidence: resolution keeps the arrival-ordered items stream from this
branch (tool-driven process marking, pure/testable logic in live.ts) and
adopts main's rendering and ids: groupParts in-place process blocks,
real tool callIds on live tool parts, messageparts utilities, and the
restored phase-driven showProcessInline predicate alongside the CF0
long-reply excerpt that main's rewrite had dropped. vitest 32/32
(includes main's messageparts suite and this branch's 12 live cases);
tsc -b clean.
Impact: single coherent live pipeline - items accumulate in event order,
liveToMessage projects Parts with tool-driven process marks, rendering
folds consecutive process blocks in place; responding still collapses
the process area (Cursor-style) as originally reviewed.
Refs: feature/chat-process-split-r1
Why: liveToMessage emitted all text buckets then all tools, while the
persisted message interleaves per turn (thinking, text, calls), so parts
reordered on reconcile with 2+ tool turns. Commentary stayed in the reply
area until the next turn's text bucket appeared, because the process flag
was positional (i < length - 1) instead of tool-driven.
Evidence: LiveState now holds an arrival-ordered items stream
(thinking/text deltas merge into their last segment; tools land in place),
so event order - which matches the backend's per-turn append order - maps
1:1 onto persisted parts. A text segment is process iff a tool.call lands
before the next thinking/text segment, aligning with the backend's
Process: len(calls) > 0; the collapse predicate moved to testable
showProcessInline. Long replies (>800 chars) now show a 100-char excerpt
and label the count as Markdown source length. vitest 27/27 pass (was 5
live cases, now 12 incl. multi-turn order, immediate process marking,
collapse predicate); tsc -b clean.
Impact: streaming UI no longer reshuffles parts across turns or on final
reconcile; tool-turn commentary folds into the process area as soon as the
tool call arrives. Residual edge (documented in live.ts): a silent
tool-only turn with no text and no thinking attributes its call to the
previous text segment.
Refs: code review of feature/chat-process-split-r1 (2026-09-30)
Why: AssistantMessage reordered a message's parts by the process flag,
so tool calls floated above the text that surrounded them instead of
appearing where they actually ran; live streams had the same defect via
a fixed template order and never showed artifacts mid-run. Generated
files (e.g. meeting-minutes docx) had no visible download path, the
artifacts panel was a bare list, DocViewer nested a modal inside the
overlay, and settings rows used a legacy grid with a floating save
button.
Evidence: messageparts.ts adds groupParts (order-preserving grouping of
consecutive process parts, unit-tested) plus humanSize/artifactIcon
helpers; Conversation renders blocks in original order and the artifact
chip becomes icon + open + download; LiveState.parts accumulates events
in arrival order including artifact_ref so live view matches the
persisted message; ArtifactsPanel gains search/kind filter/upload and
per-row preview/download/delete-confirm; DocViewer is a single-layer
OverlayHost with pdf iframe, csv/json monospace, and a binary info card
with a download CTA; SettingsModal migrates to @ui SettingRow with the
save button pinned in the shell actions bar; inbox cards receive the
docBridge so result cards can open artifacts. tsc clean, vitest 20
passed, production build succeeds.
Impact: message timelines read in true execution order during and after
runs; every artifact is previewable and downloadable from the message
chip, the workspace panel, and the viewer; settings render on the fixed
two-column shell.
Refs: task feature/chat-order-artifact-files (ui# c3e1f3b backend#
44b51fa).
Why: creation entries were split (project + at sidebar top-left, new
session at bottom-left) and the project tree forced per-project
navigation; the approved option A design makes one primary New Task
entry, organization a view mode, and identity always present.
Evidence:
- New TaskSidebar: single New Task split button (current-project context,
Cmd-N, secondary menu for new project / new task in project), project
<-> timeline organization with persisted collapse, pinned section,
archive view toggle, hover row actions, account footer fed by
/api/me (embedded mode shows local tenant; logout clears the key),
workspace icon strip retained (D25 shared list with Cmd-1..9).
- store: tasks = cross-project list via GET /api/conversations; openTask
switches project context; pin/archive optimistic + refresh; last
project context persisted; stale conversations field removed.
- tasklist.ts pure helpers + 6 vitest cases; npm run build passes;
headless walk on the real binary: cross-project open, pinned-first,
archive hide/show/restore, new-task flow, zero console errors.
Impact: ProjectNav removed; contracts.ts regenerated from core
(pinned/archived); no composer/right-pane changes (D25/D26/D31 intact).
