Summary

  • Verb labels: Tool calls display past-tense verbs ("Wrote foo.html", "Ran", "Read") instead of raw names
  • Grouping: Consecutive same-type tool calls collapse into expandable rows ("Wrote 3 files >") with left border indent; expanded items render flat (no inner accordions)
  • Spacing: CSS pseudo-selector rules for context-aware spacing — tight between consecutive text, wider around tool sections
  • Result labels hidden: Removes redundant "RESULT" heading from tool output
  • Extracts ToolChainCards into its own file to stay under the 500-line limit

Stacked on #69 (tho/boss-ui).

Screen Recording 2026-04-02 at 12 16 21 AM

Test plan

  • pnpm test — all 183 tests pass with updated assertions
  • pnpm dev — verify verb labels, grouping, expand/collapse, and spacing visually
  • Verify unknown tool names pass through unchanged
  • Verify executing tools still show elapsed time
  • Verify solo items show muted foreground text

…tarea

Use the boss-ui Button default variant (bg-primary) for the send button
instead of custom bg-foreground overrides. Suppress the global
focus-visible ring on the chat textarea to prevent the black outline.

Relocate src/components/ai-elements/ to src/shared/ui/ai-elements/
to colocate with the rest of the boss-ui component library. No import
updates needed as these components are not yet consumed.

Use default sans-serif for skill names in the list and create dialog
to match persona card styling. Keep mono only for instructions textarea.

Replace hand-rolled ToolCallCard, ThinkingBlock, and MarkdownContent
with the ai-elements Tool, Reasoning, and MessageResponse compounds.
Action buttons now use MessageAction with built-in tooltip support.
Add @source for streamdown so Tailwind generates its utility classes.

Merge origin/main (tabs removal refactor #70) and fix two code review items:
- Register @tailwindcss/typography plugin via @plugin directive for prose classes
- Fix accordion keyframes to use --radix-accordion-content-height (not --bits-)
- Remove GooseIcon home button from sidebar header (removed upstream)
- Adopt tab→session rename throughout sidebar components

Add overflow-hidden to main content area so the flex layout chain
properly constrains scrolling to the MessageTimeline, keeping the
chat input and status bar pinned at the bottom.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two issues caused the entire page to scroll when viewing chat:

1. scrollIntoView() in MessageTimeline scrolls all ancestors including
   the document. Replaced with container.scrollTo() which only scrolls
   within the message timeline container.

2. Tailwind v4 preflight doesn't set height/overflow on html/body like
   v3 did. Added height: 100% + overflow: hidden on html, body, #root
   outside @layer base so the cascade can't override them.

Add min-w-0 and w-full to message content containers so flex items
respect the max-w-[85%] boundary. Wrap tool output pre blocks with
whitespace-pre-wrap so result text flows within the code block.

The previous selection background (#1a1a1a) was nearly invisible against
the dark input background. Now uses the user's accent color at 60% opacity.

Strip visual noise from collapsed tool calls: remove wrench icon
(via optional showIcon prop), remove border/rounded container, replace
status pill with plain text, hide "Completed" status entirely, and
use inline chevron caret next to the tool name.

Consecutive same-type tool calls collapse into expandable groups
("Wrote 3 files", "Ran 2 commands") with a left border indent.
Solo items show past-tense verbs ("Wrote foo.html", "Read", "Ran").
Grouped items render flat (no inner accordions, no result labels).
Extract ToolChainCards into its own file to stay under size limit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Use CSS pseudo-selectors for context-aware spacing: tight (2px)
between consecutive text blocks, wider (8px) around tool sections.
Tighten flat tool item content from space-y-4 to space-y-2.

P1 Badge Skip collapsing groups with non-completed tool calls

The new grouping condition collapses any consecutive recognized tools based only on type and count, even when one of the grouped items is still pending/executing or has errored. In those cases the collapsed row shows only a past-tense label (e.g., “Wrote 2 files”) and hides per-call status/elapsed time/error badges until the user manually expands it, which regresses live progress/error visibility compared with the previous per-card rendering. Consider only collapsing groups when every item is completed successfully, or surface an aggregate status badge on the collapsed row.

Assistant messages now always fill to max-w-[85%] instead of
shrinking to content, preventing width jumps when groups expand.
Remove items-start from tool chain containers so children stretch.

Add animate-in slide-in-from-top-2 fade-in to group expanded
content, matching the existing tool accordion animation style.
