Problem

Every snooze option has a wake time. So a thread you want out of the way until you choose to return to it wakes up on its own. Discussion #26508 asks for a snooze that only ends when you end it.

Change

Adds Indefinitely next to Custom… in every snooze menu:

  • the snooze button on sidebar rows
  • the thread right-click menu, which the chat header also uses
  • the multi-select menu
  • the mobile thread menu

An indefinite snooze stores a fixed wake time of 9999-12-31T00:00:00.000Z (INDEFINITE_SNOOZE_UNTIL in packages/client-runtime). Contracts, the server, and migrations don't change:

  • The server already accepts any future wake time.
  • Early wakes for approvals, user input, failures, and new messages work as before.
  • Older clients show it as a very long snooze.
  • Timers already cap delays at the setTimeout limit, so the far-future date never fires early.

snoozeWakeLabel returns null for an indefinite snooze, so the sidebar, chat status line, and mobile show "Snoozed" with no countdown. The user guide gains one sentence.

Agents can already pass any future snoozedUntil to t3_thread_update, so I left the MCP tool text unchanged to avoid touching model-facing text.

Scope and approval

  • Discussion: #26508 requests exactly this: a snooze with no automatic wake time that stays in Snoozed until Wake thread. I posted the implementation there before opening this PR.
  • Approval: no maintainer has approved the direction yet, so this PR does not have the approval CONTRIBUTING.md asks for. I opened it so the direction can be judged against working code. If you'd prefer a different shape, I'm happy to rework it. One example is an opt-in choice under Settings → Threads → Snooze options. You're also welcome to close it.
  • Scope: one problem, the missing no-wake snooze. The changes outside the menus (the shared sentinel, wake labels, and one sentence in the user guide) are what that option needs so no surface shows a bogus countdown.

Verification

  • New test: vp test run packages/client-runtime/src/state/customSnooze.test.ts adds a case where an indefinite snooze stays snoozed and has no wake label, while a timed snooze keeps its label. It fails on main, where the constant doesn't exist.
  • Repo checks: vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests, and the React compiler check.
  • Web, by hand: on a web dev server with demo data and the Replay provider:
    • I snoozed threads from the sidebar snooze button and from the right-click menu. Each moved to Snoozed with no countdown, and the chat showed "Snoozed · Wake now".
    • The server stored snoozedUntil = 9999-12-31T00:00:00.000Z.
    • Wake now put the thread back in the section it came from.
  • Mobile, by hand (iPhone 17 Pro simulator, iOS 26.2): same demo data, paired to a dev backend:
    • The thread row's Snooze menu shows Indefinitely above Custom….
    • Choosing it moved the thread to Snoozed, where its row reads "Snoozed" instead of a countdown. The server stored snoozedUntil = 9999-12-31T00:00:00.000Z.
    • The thread's status line reads "Snoozed" with Wake now and no "wakes in".
    • Wake now returned the thread to the active list, and the server cleared snoozedUntil.
  • Not checked:
    • Android, iPad, and the snooze menu on the mobile thread detail screen (only the list row menu was exercised).
    • The multi-select menu by hand.
    • Desktop separately, though it wraps the web UI.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Snooze menus offered only timed options, so a thread you wanted out of the
way until you chose to return to it would wake on its own. Add an
"Indefinitely" option beside "Custom…" in the sidebar hover menu, the thread
context menu, the multi-select menu, and the mobile thread menu.

An indefinite snooze is a fixed far-future wake time, so the server, its
early-wake rules, and older clients need no change. Wake labels are hidden
for it.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at eadc6f9

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Adds an opt-in indefinite snooze option on web and mobile without changing existing defaults. It uses existing snooze controls, remains manually reversible, and preserves waking when a thread needs attention.

Walkthrough

Mobile and web thread menus now offer an indefinite snooze option. A shared sentinel represents its wake time. Snooze labels display “Snoozed” without a countdown when no wake time applies.

Changes: Indefinite Snooze

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sentinel and label contract
packages/client-runtime/src/state/threadSettled.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/customSnooze.test.ts
The INDEFINITE_SNOOZE_UNTIL sentinel identifies indefinite snoozes. snoozeWakeLabel returns null for that value. Tests cover indefinite and finite snooze labels.
Snooze menu actions
apps/mobile/src/features/threads/thread-list-v2-items.tsx, apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx, apps/web/src/components/sidebar/SidebarThreadRow.tsx, apps/web/src/components/threadActionMenu.logic.ts, apps/web/src/hooks/useThreadActionMenu.ts, docs/user/thread-sidebar.md
Mobile and web menus add an “Indefinitely” action that passes the sentinel through the snooze selection path. The sidebar instructions document the option.
Mobile snooze labels
apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadDetailScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/threadListV2.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/threadListV2.test.ts
Thread detail displays “Snoozed” when the wake time is null. The thread list displays “Snoozed” when the wake-label helper returns null. Tests cover the indefinite snooze row.

The row's wake slot fell back to the thread's age, which reads like a
timed snooze countdown, especially in search results with no shelf header.

Minor · Show “Snoozed” for indefinite snoozes. · Sidebar.tsx:3258-3263

apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx:3258-3263
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Show “Snoozed” for indefinite snoozes.

The snoozed sidebar section assigns snoozeWakeLabelText from snoozeWakeLabel. For an indefinite snooze, that value is null, so SidebarThreadRow falls through to RelativeTimeLabel and shows the thread’s activity age instead of “Snoozed”.

Suggested fix
-                                ? snoozeWakeLabel(thread.snoozedUntil, {
-                                    now: new Date().toISOString(),
-                                  })
+                                ? snoozeWakeLabel(thread.snoozedUntil, {
+                                    now: new Date().toISOString(),
+                                  }) ?? "Snoozed"

This preserves timed labels and keeps the shared helper’s null behavior unchanged.

@coderabbitai Re the outside-diff finding on apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx:3258-3263: leaving this as is. On web, a wake countdown renders with an alarm-clock icon and info colour precisely so it can be told apart from an age (see the comment in SidebarThreadRow.tsx: "The clock tells a wake time from an age at a glance."), and the label is only set inside the Snoozed section, whose header already says Snoozed. Falling back to "Snoozed" there would render an alarm clock next to it and imply a wake time that does not exist. Mobile got the fallback in 039d270 because its slot has no icon and search results there have no shelf header.

@aman-dahiya You're right. I withdraw the outside-diff finding.

I verified that Sidebar.tsx sets the wake label only in the Snoozed section. SidebarThreadRow.tsx renders a non-null wake label with AlarmClockIcon and text-info-foreground. Adding "Snoozed" there would incorrectly use the wake-countdown styling for an indefinite snooze.

The mobile fallback addresses a different display context. No web change is needed for this finding.

Learning: Within repository "pingdotgg/t3code", only for files matching one of ["apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx","apps/web/src/components/sidebar/SidebarThreadRow.tsx"]: When reviewing snooze-label changes in apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx or apps/web/src/components/sidebar/SidebarThreadRow.tsx, preserve a null wake label for indefinite snoozes while the label is confined to the Snoozed section and non-null labels render with an alarm-clock icon and info colour. Do not request a "Snoozed" fallback in that wake-countdown slot merely to match mobile: the section header supplies the snoozed state, and the icon denotes a wake time. Reassess this distinction if the section context or countdown styling changes.

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

the prior-approval rule applies to the new indefinite snooze workflow. the pr adds a permanent snooze choice and removes its wake countdown; its scope section explicitly says maintainer approval is absent. discussion #26508 contains the request and implementation proposal, without approval of direction and scope. see prior approval. obtain and link explicit maintainer approval before resubmitting. the need to park threads without repeatedly choosing dates remains useful context for that discussion.
