Problem

With Suggest next prompt on, a turn that took a steered message never shows its suggestion. Promoting a queued message to Steer cancels that queued run before it starts, and the cancelled run stays the thread's latestRun. usePromptSuggestion only offers a suggestion for latestRun, so the one the provider sent for the run that actually finished is dropped.

Change

usePromptSuggestion now compares the suggestion with the run announcedRun picks: latestRun, or the last run that ran when latestRun was cancelled before it started. That is the same rule screen-reader announcements already use for this case. Thread detail can lag the shell, so the fallback applies only once the runs include that cancelled run. Otherwise cached detail could revive an older turn's suggestion. ChatView passes the thread's runs to the composer for it. The comparison is a small exported function so it can be tested without rendering.

A freshly loaded thread detail never held that cancelled run: the newest history window drops the cancelled queued message, so its run was not selected either. After a reload, or on another client, the suggestion stayed hidden. The newest window now also selects the run the shell reports as latestRun, through the same SQL the shell uses (presentedShellRunId in ProjectionStore). Older-history pages and fork windows are unchanged.

Because the rule is "the latest run never ran", the earlier turn's suggestion also comes back when the queued message is removed instead of steered, or when a run is stopped before it starts. Before, any of these hid it.

Mobile has no prompt suggestions.

Scope and approval

Small, focused fix of an obvious bug in an existing Labs feature (https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/28047), filed as https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/33705.

Verification

  • usePromptSuggestion.test.ts: a steered turn offers its suggestion, several never-started runs in a row still fall back to it, a later run that did start or completed still hides it, and cached detail missing the cancelled run hides it. With the comparison put back to latestRun only, the first assertion fails. With the detail guard removed, the cached-detail assertion fails.
  • ProjectionStore.test.ts, "reads a fixed SQL turn-item window for long histories and repeated clients": after a steer, the steered run keeps writing, so the cancelled queued message leaves the newest window, while its run stays in the window's runs. On main's SQL this fails at the runs assertion. The test also still asserts that the cancelled queued message stays out of the transcript.
  • vp run check:changed on f7a583f: format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests and React compiler pass.
  • Three review rounds by two independent reviewers. Round 1 found no code defect. Round 2 found the reload gap above, fixed in this PR, and a dropped test assertion, restored. Round 3: no open findings.

Evidence

Real web app per checkout on fresh databases, native Claude on its cheapest model, Labs Suggest next prompt on. Before = main at 934c7f8d8e. After = d2dd2acd8b (web change) for R1–R3, 5a51e85c70 (with the server change) for R4 and the R1 pair at that head; R5 and the R2 recordings at the final head ed45eeae87. Commits after 5a51e85 only touch tests or merge main. Chromium on Linux (R1–R3: headless Chromium 148 with reduced motion; R4, R5, the R1 pair at 5a51e85 and the new R2 recordings: Chromium 157 in the T3 browser preview), no device emulation, fine pointer, DPR 2, 100% fonts; each sheet is Before | After | Diff0 (any change, amplified) | DiffT (>16/255).

Row Before After
R1 Queue → Send now (Steer) → completion ordinary placeholder suggestion + Tab hint; Tab fills it
R2 Queue → Remove queued message → completion ordinary placeholder suggestion + Tab hint
R3 Ordinary completion (informational control, unchanged path) suggestion suggestion (unchanged); separate real turns, so the reply text differs and there is no pixel claim
R4 R1, then reload the page no suggestion before or after reload suggestion before and after reload
R5 R1, then open the thread in a fresh browser context (no stored state) web-only change d2dd2acd8b: cancelled run missing from detail, no suggestion final head ed45eeae87: cancelled run in detail, suggestion; Tab fills it

R1, 1440×900 dark, at 5a51e85

R1 at 5a51e85c70, 1440x900 dark: Before, After, Diff0, DiffT

R4, after the reload, 1440×900 dark, at 5a51e85

R4 after reload, 1440x900 dark: Before, After, Diff0, DiffT

R5, fresh browser context, 1440×900 dark: web-only change vs final head (isolates the server change)

R5 cold client, 1440x900 dark: Before (d2dd2acd8b), After (ed45eeae87), Diff0, DiffT

R1, 390×844 dark (composer focused), at d2dd2ac

R1 390x844 dark: Before, After, Diff0, DiffT

More sheets (R1 light and dark at both widths, R2, R3)

R1 1440x900 dark
R1 1440x900 light
R1 390x844 light
R2 1440x900 dark
R3 1440x900 dark informational control, reply text differs between real turns

Recordings (1440×900 dark, narrated steps and timestamps in the full evidence section): R1 before / after, R2 before / after, R4 before / after, R5 before / after.

What else changed: in the R1, R2 and R4 still pairs only the suggestion placeholder and the turn's elapsed-time label differ; the rest of each viewport is pixel-identical at zero threshold. R3 is not a diff row: both sides show a suggestion, and the reply and suggestion wording differ between the two real turns. Recordings differ in the agent's wording and timing, and window titles and timestamps differ.

Matrix, full evidence section with per-step narration, and the seed and driver scripts: full evidence section · matrix.

Verification log
  • Round 1 (head d2dd2ac, PR head merged with main): both reviewers found no code defect; both asked for before/after captures.
  • Round 2 (head 5a51e85): the capture step found the suggestion hidden again after a reload; the server change above fixes it. One reviewer: merge, after restoring two window assertions the server commit had dropped (done in 46a1236). The other: no code defect, asked for the reload capture (R4, done).
  • Round 3 (head 46a1236): both reviewers merge, no open findings. Both re-ran the tests: web 13/13 (usePromptSuggestion, threadActivityAnnouncement), ProjectionStore 53/53. The new server assertion fails on main's SQL.
  • After round 3: ed45eea added the cancelled-run-chain and newer-completed-run assertions the proof audit asked for (tests only), and main was merged (f7a583f, no conflicts).
  • Proof audit: matrix scoped to the rows this diff can change (pass 1's full feature inventory cut to R1–R5); pass 2 found gaps (a cold-client row, overlay-free R2 recordings, two fallback assertions, matrix wording), all closed; the final recheck is sufficient.
  • vp run check:changed on f7a583f: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (4 packages), tests (7 files), React compiler pass.
  • Unverified surfaces: none. Mobile has no prompt suggestions; desktop renders the same web composer.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Fixes #33705

Promoting a queued message to Steer cancels its run before it starts, and
that run stays the thread's latest, so the suggestion for the turn that
finished never matched. Compare against the last run that ran instead,
once thread detail includes the cancelled run.

Walkthrough

This PR updates windowed projection run selection and prompt suggestion eligibility. It also passes active thread runs from ChatView through ChatComposer to usePromptSuggestion.

Changes: Prompt suggestion handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Presented run in windowed projections
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.test.ts
Windowed reads include the presented shell run when no anchor item or required run is set. The regression test checks that a cancelled run remains in the snapshot without its turn items.
Suggestion eligibility logic
apps/web/src/components/chat/usePromptSuggestion.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/usePromptSuggestion.test.ts
usePromptSuggestion accepts thread runs and delegates selection to offeredPromptSuggestion. The helper allows a suggestion for the announced completed run when a later run is cancelled and has no start time. Tests cover newer runs and cached run details that omit the cancelled run.
Composer run wiring
apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx
ChatComposerProps adds activeThreadRuns, which ChatComposer passes to usePromptSuggestion. ChatView provides projection runs or an empty typed fallback.

Explanation

Issue #33705 requires the composer to show the completed turn’s suggestion after a queued message becomes Steer. The reviewed implementation uses offeredPromptSuggestion with the announcedRun rule, requires the cancelled run to be present before using the fallback, and passes thread runs from ChatView. The tests cover the Steer case and stale or later-run cases. The relevant web code is unchanged since the previous reviewed head.

Promoting a queued message to Steer cancels its queued run before it starts.
That run stays the shell's latest run, but a freshly loaded thread detail
dropped it: the window excludes the cancelled queued message, so the run was
never selected. Reloaded pages and other clients then hid the prompt
suggestion for the steered turn.

The newest-window runs query now also selects the shell's presented run,
through the same subquery the shell uses.
