feat(web): accept file drops into sidebar threads - #7892
Conversation
Dropping files from the OS onto a sidebar thread row now opens that thread and attaches the files in its composer, without sending. Rows reuse the workspace drop handlers (Files-type gate only), so pinned reordering and mention drags are unaffected. Files dropped on a row that is not the open thread are stashed and handed to the composer once the navigation lands; if the route bounces the stash is cleared.

One finding: the new sidebar drag-over highlight uses a Tailwind color token that does not exist, so the ring falls back to currentColor and changes appearance per row state. Details inline.

Move the pending-drop hooks above ChatView's no-active-thread early return so hook order cannot change when a thread opens or closes. Only clear the pending stash when it still belongs to the drop that missed its landing, so a newer drop is never wiped by an older navigation. Use the existing ring-ring token for the row highlight instead of the nonexistent ring-sidebar-ring. Ends with: ox-alpha (opencode)

One finding on the new drag-over highlight for sidebar thread rows: the outer ring is clipped by the row container's paint containment, leaving the drop target visually identical to hover. Details inline.
Posted via Macroscope — UI Consistency
The row li's content-visibility paint containment clips outer rings, so the drag-over affordance read as plain hover. Use an inset ring, the sidebar's own ring convention, tinted with primary to match the other file-drop surfaces instead of the focus-ring token. Ends with: ox-alpha (opencode)

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new file-drop workflow across sidebar rows, navigation, shared pending state, route handling, and composer attachment processing. Its cross-component runtime behavior and lifecycle coordination are broader than a small isolated UI change, so human review is appropriate. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules.

The missing-thread redirect fires in an effect after navigation resolves, so the drop's landing check had already passed and the stash was never consumed or cleared. Clear it here, scoped to the dead thread, before navigating home. Ends with: ox-alpha (opencode)
An environment with no threads left leaves the route parked on the missing thread instead of redirecting home, so the stash survived. Move the release out of the redirect condition. Ends with: ox-alpha (opencode)

One finding on the new sidebar drop-target styling. The ring token/inset issues from the previous rounds look resolved (ring-1 ring-inset ring-primary/70 matches the composer's drop-target treatment and the inset ring is no longer clipped by the row's content-visibility: auto ancestor).
Posted via Macroscope — UI Consistency
The drag tint overrode an active/selected row's own background via twMerge, dimming the route cue on the most common drop target; apply it only to rows without a state surface. A rejected navigation also orphaned the stash with an unhandled rejection; clear it in a catch. Ends with: ox-alpha (opencode)

scopedThreadKey joins with ':', so refs like {a, b:c} and {a:b, c} collide
and a drop could land in the wrong thread's composer. Add
isSameSidebarThreadRef and use it in the store, Sidebar, ChatView, and

The composer accepts other file types subject to its per-message limits; point at the canonical Attach files section instead.

Note: GPT-6 on behalf of shivam (@shivamhwp). Please make repeated sidebar drops onto the same thread behave like drops into the composer:
Once the thread opens, pass the collected files through the existing composer attachment handler. Users should be able to drop file A, then file B, and have both attached without an older navigation attempt removing either one. |
The pending store held a single drop, so a second drop before the thread opened replaced the first, and a stale navigation cleared by thread key alone could wipe a newer drop for the same thread. Queue each drop with its own id: ChatView consumes every queued drop for the open thread in order, and navigation cleanup removes only the drop that started it.

2835-2875: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoffConsider adding a regression test for the drop navigation race.
handleThreadFileDropimplements the exact per-drop cleanup behavior the reviewer previously asked for: an older failed or misdirected navigation clears only its owndropId, never a newer drop queued for the same thread. This is the kind of logic that regresses silently if someone later "simplifies" it back to a thread-wide clear.No test file for
Sidebar.tsxis included in this change set. If none exists elsewhere, consider adding a test that queues two drops for the same unopened thread, simulates one navigation landing elsewhere (or throwing), and asserts only that drop's id is cleared while the other survives — mirroring the store-level test already added insidebarPendingFileDropStore.test.ts.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Note: GPT-6 on behalf of shivam (@shivamhwp). Two sidebar paths still ignore file drops:
Please connect search-result rows to the same attachment and navigation handler. For the legacy sidebar, either support the same behavior or explicitly document the limitation; the current docs promise drops onto "any thread row." |

Closes #7396
What Changed
Each sidebar thread row (pinned, active, snoozed, settled) is now a drop target for files dragged from the OS. Dropping on a row opens that thread and attaches the files in its composer, ready to send; nothing is ever sent automatically. The row highlights while a file drag hovers over it.
Why
The chat workspace already accepts dropped files, but getting files into an older or background thread meant opening it first, then dragging again. Now one drag does it. Drop on the row, the thread opens, and the files ride the exact same composer path as a workspace drop, so validation, image compression, and focus behave identically.
Rows reuse the existing workspace drop handlers and only react to drags carrying real Files, so pinned-thread reordering and file-tree mention drags are untouched. When the dropped-on thread is not already open, the files are stashed briefly and handed to the composer once navigation lands; if the route bounces (thread gone), the stash is cleared instead of surprising the user later.

Note
Add file drop support to sidebar threads in web app
SidebarThreadRowin Sidebar.tsx to accept files, highlight the row, and navigate to the target thread if needed.isSameSidebarThreadRefnow comparesenvironmentIdandthreadIdindependently to avoid colon-joined key collisions when matching thread references.Macroscope summarized 26ccad5.
Note
Medium Risk
Cross-component handoff depends on navigation timing and draft-promotion edge cases; a failed composer mount could leave files unstaged, but impact is limited to attachment UX.
Overview
Sidebar thread rows can now receive OS file drags: rows highlight during drag-over, and a drop opens that thread and attaches files in its composer (same validation/compression path as workspace drops—nothing auto-sends).
When the target thread is not already open, files are staged in a new
sidebarPendingFileDropStoreuntil navigation finishes;ChatViewthen callsaddDroppedFileson the composer once the active thread matches and the ref is ready (withrequestAnimationFrameretry and guards so draft-promotion / wrong-thread composers do not consume the stash).Sidebarclears the stash if navigation fails or the route does not land on the intended thread; the thread route also clears pending drops when the thread resolves as missing.User docs note the sidebar file-drop behavior; unit tests cover the pending-drop store.
