The sidebar row dot, the pane top strip and the mobile pill dot all
painted a hashed per-session colour; the focused pane added an outer
accent glow on top of its ring. Removes the colour concept entirely
along with the glow, leaving the flat accent ring as the only focus mark.
Killing the only session in a tab left an empty tab behind for the operator to close by hand. The pane's tab now goes with it, unless it is the last tab (which stays, emptied).
Pressing Spawn while reading a session split that pane in half. It now
opens the draft in its own tab, leaving the current tab untouched.
Scoped to the explicit Spawn affordances (the header button and the
sidebar empty state, both via OPEN_SPAWN_EVENT). "Spawn similar" and the
fast-forward key deliberately keep splitting: both act on the session in
front of you, so a pane beside it is the point. Reusing an empty pane
(#72) is unchanged — that path never split anything.
Closes#100
Center-zone pane drag swapped dragged.draft/target.draft but left
draftForms cached under the old leaf id, so both panes kept showing
their pre-swap form values while writing into the swapped leaf.
Tear down both leaves' cached forms at swap time (same pattern as
openDraft's stale-form teardown, #72) so render() remounts fresh
forms seeded from the swapped data.
Fixes#73
openDraft's reuse check was `!target.draft`, dead after first render:
createSpawnForm auto-syncs its picked defaults into the leaf's draft
once its project load settles, so every empty pane has a non-null
draft a second later. `n` and Spawn always split instead of reusing
the pane on screen.
Reuse now checks only `!target.sessionId`, matching the codebase's own
definition of "empty" pane elsewhere. Reusing also drops the leaf's
stale form instance so a new seed is read by the rebuilt form instead
of being ignored by the old one.
The cleanup guard plus deterministic paths had created a trap: one
untracked file an agent left behind — a log, a .env, a stray artifact —
made the guard refuse removal, the directory stayed, and every later
spawn of that branch hit PathExists. The branch was burned permanently
and the product offered no way to clear it. A leftover tree registered
for the same branch is now adopted, so the operator lands back in their
own unsaved work. A tree a *live* session holds is still rejected, since
two sessions must not share a checkout.
Also:
- Fast-forward still awaited /api/info, /api/projects and /api/names
inline, the exact freeze the draft loaders were restructured to avoid.
It posts to the same channel now.
- Draft updates were routed by tab index, which shifts when a tab closes:
an in-flight load could be dropped or land on the wrong pane. Drafts
carry an id and are found by it.
- extend_names left the name it had just displayed at the head of the
queue, so the next reroll produced it again and the key looked dead.
- The fast-forward fallback discarded info.home_dir, so its draft showed
unabbreviated paths and seeded "Other directory…" with / — disagreeing
with the normal draft entry point.
- Web fast-forward mounted via openSession, which replaces the focused
pane: pressing it while attached evicted that session from the layout.
It reuses an empty pane or splits, as the TUI does.
- branchEdited was inferred from the seeded branch value, but in "new"
mode that value is the auto-synced session name — so any form rebuild
froze the branch against later rerolls.
- resolveBaseRepo ignored the worktree checkbox, rebuilding the fieldset
expanded under an unticked box and probing gitroot for a worktree the
operator had turned off.
- short_hash used DefaultHasher, whose algorithm is not stable across
Rust releases, in a directory name — a toolchain bump would orphan
every worktree under the override root. Now FNV-1a.
render() destroyed and rebuilt every draft form, so an unrelated
session exiting tore down a draft mid-edit: focus, caret and
selection were lost and /api/info, /api/projects, /api/names were
refetched for a form already on screen.
Key draft forms by leaf id; rebuild only the pane DOM around them
and destroy a form when its leaf is removed or filled by a session.
The draft pane covers every field the modal had; the modal was a second
code path for the same job. The header Spawn button, sidebar empty state,
welcome button, and ?mock&spawn now open a draft pane via
MultiView.openDraft — reusing an empty focused pane, else splitting it.
"Spawn similar" seeds a draft with the session's cwd + command.
Modal-only CSS (backdrop, sheet/dialog chrome, keyframes) is deleted;
.modal-body form styling folds into .spawn-form, which also picks up the
select styling the worktree branch picker was borrowing from the modal.
The one that loses data: the project picker lists linked worktrees as
pickable rows, so `base_repo` was easily a worktree rather than the main
checkout, and the new placement then nested the tree inside it. Git hides
a registered worktree's contents from the outer `git status`, so the
outer tree read clean and removing it deleted the inner one's uncommitted
work — while that session could still be running. Placement now resolves
to the main checkout via `--git-common-dir`, and removal refuses outright
when `worktree list` reports anything registered underneath.
Also:
- The `worktree_root` override dropped the old UUID without replacing it,
so two repos spawning the same branch name targeted one directory and
the second failed. The repo basename now sits between root and slug.
- Project staleness read `.git/HEAD`'s mtime, which only moves on
checkout. A repo committed to daily from one long-lived branch reported
its last branch switch and got dimmed. Prefer `logs/HEAD`.
- The projects cache TTL (5s) was shorter than its own background refresh
(60s), so nearly every request rescanned all of $HOME under the scanner
lock — and draft panes re-request on unrelated re-renders. Now 180s.
- onSuccess resolved the leaf against the active tab only, so switching
tabs mid-POST orphaned the session. Searches every tab.
Six findings from reviewing the accumulated blitz/spawn-v2 diff:
- loadRecents restored the seeded cwd but never emitted it, so the leaf's
draft kept cwd:"" and the next render reseeded the form blank.
- stripDrafts did not recurse, so every half-filled draft in a split tab
was written to localStorage; the old test passed only because hydrate
discards draft on the way back in.
- showRawCwd and selectPreset grabbed focus from async init paths, so a
draft pane stole the caret seconds after mounting.
- .mv-draft inherited no layout once the form left .modal-body.
- onSuccess mounted the new session onto a leaf that may have been closed
while the POST was in flight, stranding it in no pane.
SPA attach had no reconnect at all. Any dropped frame closed the socket,
`onClosed` fired, and the pane was destroyed permanently — the TUI
reconnects forever on the same endpoint. Session death also reached the UI
on two uncoordinated channels: the row from the events socket, the pane
from `ws.onclose`, with nothing reconciling them, so either could happen
without the other.
The catalog is now the authority. `shouldRetryClose` decides from session
status: Running means the link dropped, so retry with 500ms-to-10s
backoff; Dead means the PTY stream was sealed and nothing more is coming;
absent means it is gone. Application closes (4000+, a relayed daemon
rejection) and clean closes are never retried. The shell also closes any
pane whose session has left the catalog. The policy lives in reconnect.ts
so it is tested without a DOM.
kill_session checked `has()` before `kill()`, which only opened a window
for the liveness watcher to reap in between — turning a 404 into a 502.
`kill` reports the miss itself.
with_spawn_history logged and carried on when `Arc::get_mut` failed,
producing a daemon whose recent-dirs picker is permanently empty with
nothing to show for it. It panics now: that is a construction-order
mistake, at startup, in code that runs once.

The sidebar-drawer toggle now lives left of the logo in the global header
instead of floating over the content area / tab bar. Removes the in-canvas
fab and tab-bar menu button and their styles.

The welcome/empty-tab branch returned before renderMobile, so with the tab
bar collapsed there was no ☰ — leaving mobile users stuck with no way to
open the sidebar drawer. Float the same ☰ over the welcome view.

On phones (single tab, one pane at a time):
- drop the pane border/padding/focus-ring so the session fills the screen
- collapse the redundant tab bar; float a ☰ to keep the sidebar drawer reachable
- disable pull-to-refresh (overscroll-behavior) so terminal scroll wins

Below 860px the split tree projects to a one-pane-at-a-time pill strip (no
splits/drag/resize — desktop only); the tree is untouched so widening restores
the splits. Only the visible pane's session stays live; the rest park. The
sidebar becomes an off-canvas drawer toggled by a ☰ in the tab bar, with a
backdrop; tapping a session opens it and closes the drawer. Re-renders on the
breakpoint crossing without losing sessions.
Closes#35. Part of epic #37.

Save the layout tree (tabs + splits + focus + ratios) to localStorage,
debounced, on every structural/focus/resize change; restore it on boot. Load
rebuilds with fresh node ids and defensively drops malformed data — a corrupt or
versioned-out blob falls back to a single empty tab. Sessions that no longer
exist when restored aren't pruned eagerly (the session list isn't known at
boot); their panes attach, the broker closes the dead socket, and the pane
auto-closes.
Closes#34. Part of epic #37.

Render the content pane as tabs of nested split trees, each session leaf a live
attach mounted through the multi-mount pool:
- #30 arbitrarily-nested H/V splits with mouse-resizable dividers; per-pane
⏻/▥/▤/✕ tools; closing a pane collapses its parent split.
- #31 tabs, each holding its own tree; add / switch / close.
- #32 drag-to-dock: drag a pane title or a sidebar session onto a pane for a
5-zone dock (edges split, centre swaps/replaces); a sidebar drag moves an
already-open session.
- #33 focused pane at full strength, others dim; sidebar shows focused (loud)
vs open-elsewhere (quiet) with a stable per-session colour mapping rows to
panes.
Opening a session fills the focused pane (single-pane parity by default);
multi-pane is opt-in via split / drag / tabs. Panes auto-close when their
session ends (guarded against eviction and intentional close). The steady
"connected" label is hidden as noise.
Closes#30, #31, #32, #33. Part of epic #37.
