opening a tool group currently reveals every reasoning trace. thoughts now stay collapsed independently, showing a truncated reasoning preview and a chevron; expanding a thought reveals its full text and restores the thought label. thought-only groups retain their existing single disclosure.

validation: web typecheck and 120 existing timeline tests passed on blacksmith; targeted lint completed with 20 warnings and no errors. verified collapse, expansion, and restored previews in the web client using a real Claude thread through the shared server.

thought preview expands and collapses inside the tool group

model: gpt-6; harness: codex.

Spacing follow-up: collapsed thought headers now match the 24px tool rows, with no extra gaps between thought and tool sections. Verified expansion and collapse in an isolated web client with synthetic transcript data. Web typecheck and 173 focused timeline tests pass; targeted lint has warnings and no errors.

Before spacing fix:

Before: extra gaps around thought rows

After spacing fix:

After: consistent thought and tool row spacing

Expanded thought:

Expanded thought renders Markdown

Spacing follow-up model: GPT-6; harness: Codex.

Correction to the inline review suggestion: the opening and closing tag edits belong to the same hunk; the intervening child markup should remain unchanged.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This focused web UI change introduces independent collapse controls and previews for reasoning traces, changing the default visibility of thoughts when a tool group is opened. The implementation is isolated, but the changed product default warrants human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The chat timeline adds expand/collapse behavior to reasoning traces. Collapsed traces show the first non-empty message as a preview. The disclosure state uses the activity row ID as its anchor.

Changes

Reasoning trace disclosure

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reasoning trace toggle and row anchoring
apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.tsx
ActivityGroupTimelineRow passes row.id as anchorKey. ReasoningTraceBlock reads and updates expanded state through the chat context. Its header toggles message visibility, shows a rotating chevron, displays a preview when collapsed, and adjusts the expanded details spacing.

Merges `pingdotgg/t3code` `6d1d549441..9946541` (50 commits) into the
fork.

Landed 304 files against 303 in the upstream range — the extra one is
`docs/fork/inventory.json`. Fork delta is 777 files, unchanged from the
last
merge. Everything upstream changed landed.

Six conflicts, each resolved with the verdict `preflight.mjs` printed;
five were
a single hunk. Details and reasoning are in
[the merge tracker](docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md). The two worth
reading here:

- **`ChatView.tsx`** — pingdotgg#12306 added `activeWorktreePath !== null` to the
"Revert
  files too" button, on the line the fork gates with
`FEATURES.checkpointFileRestore`. Kept both as a conjunction: upstream's
condition is about a shared workspace, the fork's is about what Moatless
  serves, and they answer different questions.
- **`FilePreviewPanel.tsx`** (the one `decide`) — pingdotgg#10909 restructured
the file
read so a folder is knowable as a folder, adding `isDirectory` /
`previewPath`.
Took that whole and re-stated the fork's `onRetargetFile` effect on top.

`apps/web/src/routeTree.gen.ts` was regenerated rather than
hand-resolved.

One judgement call: pingdotgg#11598's new `/settings/storage` page is
deliberately **not**
given a `FEATURES` gate. It self-gates on two new capability booleans
Moatless
does not report and renders an explanatory notice, so a fork flag would
duplicate
a decision the wire already makes — and would have to be deleted again
the day
the capability is reported.

## Usable as-is

- Diff files open from a right-click context menu (pingdotgg#11842).
- Sidebar filtering from the thread menu (pingdotgg#8719).
- Command palette matches thread IDs (pingdotgg#11185).
- Mobile settings are easier to navigate and scope (pingdotgg#12272); favorites
in the
  mobile model picker (pingdotgg#12231).
- Thoughts collapse within tool groups (pingdotgg#12302); thoughts and failed
tool calls
  stay in one activity row (pingdotgg#12270).
- Folder links from chat open the file tree instead of a broken preview
(pingdotgg#10909).
- Chat no longer jumps when the scroll-to-end pill mounts (pingdotgg#12317);
numbered
jumps no longer steal browser tabs (pingdotgg#12315); composer banners stay
compact
  (pingdotgg#12166).
- A large batch of shared-component refactors across web and mobile
(pingdotgg#12353pingdotgg#12371).

## Unsupported in Moatless / needs implementation

- **Pull request files marked as viewed** (pingdotgg#7721) — adds
`pullRequests.filesViewed` and `pullRequests.setFilesViewed`, which
record
which files a reviewer has checked off, persisted server-side. Both
declare
  `PullRequestRpcError` and so arrived already refusing;
`unsupported-methods.mjs` reported ADD 0 / DROP 0 as a result. Closes
with the
  rest of the `pullRequests.*` group, not separately.
- **Multi-model threads in separate worktrees** (pingdotgg#12179) — one prompt
starts a
thread per selected model, each in its own worktree. The model picker is
the
same `worktree` send-mode control `FEATURES.worktreeSelection` already
gates,
  so the fan-out is simply not offered. The same commit adds a
  `requiredWorktreeBootstrap` capability the backend does not report.
- **Automatic storage cleanup settings** (pingdotgg#11598) — the
`/settings/storage` page,
gated by the backend's absent `storageCleanup` and
`projectWorktreeCleanup`
  capabilities. Needs the sweeper below before the page means anything.
- **Command palette entries for the pull requests and usage pages**
(pingdotgg#12211) —
  the PR half is covered by `FEATURES.pullRequestSurface`.

## Backend behavior to consider reproducing in Moatless

Eight items, recorded in full in [the gaps register](docs/fork/gaps.md)
under
_Runtime fixes upstream made to its own server_. Five are on the
checkpoint and
usage paths the previous merge already opened:

- **Reject a file rewind on a shared or nested-owner cwd** (pingdotgg#12306,
`CheckpointReactor.ts`) — a checkpoint holds the whole checkout, so
restoring
one erases a sibling's uncommitted work. Moatless isolates by sandbox,
but a
workspace with nested repositories has the same overlap inside one task.
- **Capture a checkpoint when the baseline lookup fails** (pingdotgg#12307) — the
case
  that silently leaves a turn with no restore point.
- **Move the file-search refresh off the checkpoint path** (pingdotgg#12308) — it
  extended every capture by an index walk.
- **Survive an empty nested repository, and clear a stale index lock**
(pingdotgg#12181,
`GitVcsDriver.ts`) — git cannot stage an embedded repository until it
has a
commit. The lock half matters most here: forced termination is the
normal end
  of a sandboxed task.
- **Bound the provider event log before serialization** (pingdotgg#12305,
`EventNdjsonLogger.ts`) — otherwise it grows proportionally to tokens
streamed.
- **Keep usage totals across transcript cleanup** (pingdotgg#12304,
`UsageService.ts`) and
  **resolve a contested fingerprint to the newest scan** (pingdotgg#10315,
  `usageMerge.ts`). Moatless serves `server.getUsageSummary` itself.
- **Pass provider image attachments by path** (pingdotgg#11050,
`CodexAdapter.ts`) — the
turn/start request stops scaling with attachment size. A sandbox adds a
hop, so
  an oversized request costs more there.
- **Sweep stale worktrees and transcripts against retention rules**
(pingdotgg#11598,
`storageCleanup.ts`, with a workspace lease so two servers cannot sweep
the
same directory). A sandbox per task bounds the worktree half;
transcripts
  outlive the sandbox.

## Verification

`verify.mjs` — all 9 checks green on the first full pass, tests included
(333 test files, 5071 tests). No flaky retries and no caveats.

Contract drift: ADD 0 / DROP 0, so `packages/contracts/src/rpc.ts`
needed no
change. The `orchestration-decode-boilerplate` duplicate-add exception
went stale
— the colliding line is gone — and was deleted from `inventory.json` in
this
merge.

Owned-concern sweep: the three new
`apps/mobile/src/features/connection/` files
are false positives, all upstream extracting shared mobile components
out of
files it already owned, with no fork delta in any of them.
