Summary

Redesigns PilotSpace from a traditional sidebar-nav + page-based layout to a Claude.ai-inspired chat-first model behind the layout_v2 feature flag (defaults to OFF — zero visible change when flag is off).

When enabled, chat becomes the primary surface. Notes, issues, and projects appear in a right-side artifact panel alongside the persistent chat. The "Note-First" paradigm is preserved — users can expand any artifact to full width for deep work.

Before → After

Before (layout_v2 off) After (layout_v2 on)
10-item sidebar nav + page-based routing Conversation sidebar + chat-first homepage
Chat is a side panel on note/issue pages Chat is the primary surface, always visible
HomepageHub with DailyBrief sections ChatEmptyState with personalized greeting + contextual prompts
No artifact panel Resizable split view (40/60) with tabbed artifact panel

What changed

New components (9 files, +1426 lines)

Component Purpose
ChatFirstShell Replaces AppShell — persistent ChatView + artifact panel + responsive sidebar
ConversationSidebar Workspace name, search, date-grouped session history, browse shortcuts, session delete
ArtifactPanel Right panel for structured content with tab management + expand/collapse
ArtifactTabBar ARIA-compliant tablist with back/forward navigation, close/pin, keyboard nav
ChatEmptyState Personalized greeting, contextual prompts (note/issue/default), quick nav
ArtifactPanelStore MobX store — tab CRUD, pin, history stack for back/forward
useRouteArtifact Hook — syncs URL routes to artifact tabs + layout mode transitions
useChatFirstShortcuts Keyboard shortcuts: Cmd+B, Cmd+Shift+C, Cmd+/, Cmd+Shift+N, Cmd+[/]
AILoadingSkeleton Shimmer skeleton with 5s timeout hint linking to AI settings

Modified files (10 files)

File Change
UIStore +layoutMode, artifactPanelSize, chatColumnSize (persisted to localStorage)
RootStore +ArtifactPanelStore wiring + useArtifactPanelStore() hook
stores/index.ts Barrel exports for new store + types
workspace.ts +layout_v2: boolean feature toggle (default false)
layout/index.ts +ChatFirstShell export
(workspace)/layout.tsx Conditional ChatFirstShell vs AppShell based on layout_v2
[workspaceSlug]/page.tsx Empty container when layout_v2 on (shell owns ChatView)
[workspaceSlug]/chat/page.tsx Redirects to workspace root when layout_v2 on
[issueId]/page.tsx Passes issueTitle + issueStatus to setIssueContext
ChatView.tsx +persistentMode prop, auto-send prompts, prefill protection
PilotSpaceStreamHandler.ts Detects 401/403 → "Go to Settings → AI Providers" guidance

Layout modes

1. CHAT-FIRST (default)
   [Sidebar | ChatView (full width)]

2. CHAT + ARTIFACT (when navigating to notes/issues/projects)
   [Sidebar | ChatView (40%) | ArtifactPanel (60%)]

3. CANVAS-FIRST (expand button on artifact)
   [Sidebar | ChatView (15%) | ArtifactPanel (85%)]

Three review rounds incorporated

Review Issues fixed
Impeccable audit (16→19/20) ARIA tablist, keyboard nav, touch targets 44px, sidebar transform animation, duplicate IDs
AI platform lead CX Auto-send prompts, prefill protection, persistent chat, API key errors, issue context
UX design architect Panel slide-in, grouped sessions, session delete, keyboard shortcuts, contextual prompts, back/forward, search, loading skeleton

Keyboard shortcuts (new)

Shortcut Action
Cmd+B Toggle sidebar
Cmd+Shift+C Toggle chat-first ↔ chat-artifact mode
Cmd+/ Focus chat input
Cmd+Shift+N New chat (reset layout + clear conversation)
Cmd+[ Go back in artifact history
Cmd+] Go forward in artifact history

Accessibility

  • ARIA tablist + tab roles with keyboard navigation (Arrow, Home, End)
  • aria-live="polite" announces layout transitions for screen readers
  • Skip-to-content link maintained
  • All icon buttons have aria-label
  • Touch targets ≥44px (WCAG 2.2 AA)
  • Focus-visible rings on all interactive elements
  • Valid HTML (no <p> inside <button>)

How to test

  1. Enable the feature flag: set layout_v2: true in workspace feature toggles (or temporarily in DEFAULT_FEATURE_TOGGLES in frontend/src/types/workspace.ts)
  2. Navigate to any workspace — should see chat-first layout with conversation sidebar
  3. Click a suggested prompt — should auto-send immediately
  4. Click "Notes" in sidebar browse shortcuts — should open split view with chat left + notes right
  5. Navigate back to workspace root — should collapse to full-width chat
  6. Try keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+B, Cmd+Shift+C, Cmd+/)
  7. Disable layout_v2 — should see the original AppShell layout unchanged

Test plan

  • pnpm type-check — 0 errors
  • pnpm lint — 0 errors (22 pre-existing warnings)
  • pnpm test src/stores/__tests__/UIStore.test.ts — 12/12 pass
  • Browser verification: homepage, split view, back-to-homepage transition
  • Feature flag OFF: existing layout unchanged
  • E2E: navigate through all layout modes on desktop
  • E2E: mobile sidebar overlay + full-screen content
  • E2E: keyboard shortcuts work in all modes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Introduced chat-first layout option with resizable panels, toggleable via workspace feature flag
    • Added artifact panel with tabbed navigation for notes, issues, and projects
    • Added conversation sidebar for browsing and managing chat history
    • Added keyboard shortcuts for quick layout navigation and chat controls
    • Enhanced chat experience with contextual prompts and empty state guidance

Create infrastructure for chat-first layout redesign behind layout_v2
feature flag (defaults to false — zero visible behavior change):

- ArtifactPanelStore: MobX store for tab management (open/close/pin/active)
- UIStore: extended with layoutMode, artifactPanelSize, chatColumnSize
- ChatFirstShell: layout shell with ConversationSidebar + ResizablePanelGroup
- ConversationSidebar: conversation history sidebar
- ArtifactPanel + ArtifactTabBar: right panel for structured content
- ChatEmptyState: chat-first landing with suggested prompts
- WorkspaceFeatureToggles: added layout_v2 toggle
Wire layout_v2 feature flag to swap AppShell → ChatFirstShell:
- Workspace layout conditionally renders ChatFirstShell when layout_v2 on
- ConversationSidebar: WorkspaceSwitcher, session history, browse shortcuts
  (Notes/Issues/Projects), SidebarUserControls, collapse toggle
- Homepage: renders ChatEmptyState instead of HomepageHub when layout_v2 on
- All existing behavior preserved when layout_v2 is off (default)
- ArtifactPanel: auto-transitions layoutMode via MobX reaction
  (chat-first → chat-artifact when tabs open, reverse when closed)
- Expand/collapse button to toggle canvas-first mode
- ChatFirstShell: mobile overlay sidebar, expand button when collapsed,
  responsive auto-collapse on mobile/tablet
- ArtifactTabBar: functional tab switching, close, pin indicators
- useRouteArtifact hook: parses pathname to auto-open artifact tabs
  for notes, issues, projects, members routes
- ChatFirstShell: routes artifact pages into ArtifactPanel, chat pages
  into the main column
- ArtifactPanel: accepts children prop for routed content
- /chat page: redirects to workspace root when layout_v2 is active
- ChatEmptyState: Compass logo, icon-paired suggested prompts,
  quick navigation buttons (Notes/Issues/Projects) that route
  to workspace pages
- Prompts: 'Create a new note', 'Show my open issues',
  'Start a project plan', 'What should I focus on today?'
- Mobile/tablet: full-screen content, no split panel
- Desktop: resizable split when artifact panel active
- Sidebar: overlay with backdrop on mobile, inline on desktop
- Mobile menu button with backdrop blur
- Auto-collapse sidebar on small screens
Critical fixes for chat-first UX:

- ChatFirstShell: owns a persistent ChatView in the chat column,
  independent of routing. ChatEmptyState is the emptyStateSlot.
  onPromptClick wires to prefillValue for seamless prompt flow.
- Route content (notes/issues) renders inside ArtifactPanel via
  {children} when isRouteArtifact is true. ChatView stays in the
  chat column during artifact navigation.
- Homepage: renders empty container when layout_v2 on — the shell's
  ChatView takes over. HomepageHub still renders when flag is off.
- Mobile: shows ChatView on homepage, route content on artifact pages
- useRouteArtifact: transitions layoutMode to chat-artifact when
  opening artifact tabs, back to chat-first on homepage navigation.
  Fixes chicken-and-egg where ArtifactPanel never mounted because
  layoutMode hadn't changed yet.
- ChatFirstShell: persistent ChatView in chat column (independent
  of routing), ChatEmptyState as emptyStateSlot with prefill wiring
- Homepage: empty container when layout_v2 on — shell owns ChatView

Verified in browser: split view works (chat left + artifact right),
layout transitions between homepage and artifact routes work correctly.
P1 fixes:
- ArtifactTabBar: add role="tablist" container, keyboard nav (arrow
  keys, Home/End), proper tabIndex roving, use <button> for tabs
- ChatFirstShell: add aria-hidden to mobile backdrop overlay
- ChatFirstShell: fix duplicate id="main-content" in split view

P2 fixes:
- ArtifactTabBar: increase close button to 20px with hover bg
- ConversationSidebar: browse shortcuts h-8 → h-10 (40px touch)
- ConversationSidebar: replace width animation with transform
  (translateX for GPU compositing, no layout reflow)
- ChatEmptyState: replace useRouter with Link for quick nav
  (eliminates unnecessary re-renders from router state)
- ConversationSidebar: session buttons get focus-visible ring

P3 fixes:
- ConversationSidebar: SessionListStore uses useMemo instead of
  useState — re-creates when pilotSpaceStore becomes available
- ChatEmptyState: add overflow-auto + responsive spacing
  (space-y-6 on small, space-y-10 on sm+) for short viewports
- ChatEmptyState: wrap quick nav in <nav> landmark
P0 — First interaction:
- Suggested prompts now auto-send immediately (Claude.ai pattern)
  instead of just prefilling the input. Fallback to prefill on error.
- Prefill only applies when input is empty — prevents silently
  overwriting user's in-progress text.

P1 — Context preservation:
- ChatView: new `persistentMode` prop skips auto-resume/clear on
  context changes. ChatFirstShell passes this to keep conversation
  alive across page navigation.

P1 — Error recovery:
- PilotSpaceStreamHandler: detect 401/403 errors and show specific
  guidance ("Go to Settings → AI Providers to configure your key")
  instead of generic "Unauthorized".

P1 — Issue context:
- Issue detail page now passes issueTitle and issueStatus to
  setIssueContext, enabling context-aware AI responses.
From UX design architect review:

- ArtifactTabBar: tab close <span> → <button> with tabIndex={0},
  focus ring, keyboard accessible (Enter/Space)
- ConversationSidebar: session <p> → <span> for valid HTML inside
  <button>, added aria-label for screen readers
- ChatFirstShell: ARIA live region announces layout transitions
  ("Artifact panel opened") for screen reader users
- ChatEmptyState redesigned:
  - Personalized greeting using userName ("Good morning, Tin.")
  - Categorized prompts: Write (2), Plan (2), Review (2) in 2-col grid
  - Quick nav only shown when sidebar is collapsed (removes redundancy)
  - Left-aligned layout with Compass icon inline (not centered card)
  - Capability tagline: "Write notes, plan projects, extract issues,
    review code."
10 recommendations implemented:

1.1 Panel slide-in: 200ms ease-out motion animation when artifact
    panel opens (transform + opacity, no layout reflow)

1.2 Escape hatch: New Chat button resets to chat-first mode, clears
    unpinned tabs, clears conversation

2.3 AI loading skeleton: shimmer skeleton matching ChatEmptyState
    layout, 5s timeout shows "check settings" hint with link

2.4 Grouped session history: uses SessionListStore.sessionsGroupedByDate
    with sticky Today/Yesterday/weekday headers

2.5 Session context menu: DropdownMenu with Delete action (confirm
    dialog), more-options button visible on hover/focus

2.6 Keyboard shortcuts: Cmd+B (sidebar), Cmd+Shift+C (layout toggle),
    Cmd+/ (focus chat), Cmd+Shift+N (new chat), Cmd+[/] (back/forward)

3.2 Contextual prompts: ChatEmptyState adapts to artifact context —
    note-context (summarize, extract issues), issue-context (subtasks,
    similar issues), default (write, plan, review)

4.2 Back/forward navigation: history stack in ArtifactPanelStore,
    back/forward buttons in ArtifactTabBar, Cmd+[/] shortcuts

4.3 Sidebar header: workspace name replaces full switcher, search
    input for filtering conversations added

7.5 Touch targets: browse shortcuts h-10 → h-11 (44px WCAG 2.2)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR introduces a new layout_v2 feature flag enabling a chat-first interface redesign. When enabled, it redirects the chat route to the workspace root, conditionally renders a new ChatFirstShell with artifact tabbing, conversation sidebar, and keyboard shortcuts. New stores and components manage artifact panels, layout modes, and navigation.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Feature flag & workspace infrastructure
frontend/src/types/workspace.ts, frontend/src/stores/RootStore.ts, frontend/src/stores/UIStore.ts
Added layout_v2 boolean toggle to WorkspaceFeatureToggles. Created ArtifactPanelStore in RootStore and extended UIStore with layoutMode, artifactPanelSize, and chatColumnSize properties with localStorage persistence.
Page routing & layout conditional rendering
frontend/src/app/(workspace)/[workspaceSlug]/chat/page.tsx, frontend/src/app/(workspace)/[workspaceSlug]/page.tsx, frontend/src/app/(workspace)/layout.tsx
Added feature-flag-driven redirects and conditional rendering: chat page redirects to workspace root when layout_v2 is enabled; workspace page conditionally hides HomepageHub for v2; layout dynamically selects ChatFirstShell or AppShell via WorkspaceLayoutInner observer.
Chat-first shell & sidebar components
frontend/src/components/layout/chat-first-shell.tsx, frontend/src/components/layout/conversation-sidebar.tsx, frontend/src/components/layout/artifact-panel.tsx, frontend/src/components/layout/artifact-tab-bar.tsx
Introduced new ChatFirstShell with responsive two-panel layout, resizable panels, mobile overlay, and artifact routing. Added ConversationSidebar for session management with search and notifications. Implemented ArtifactPanel and ArtifactTabBar for tabbed artifact navigation with keyboard support and pinning.
Artifact store & types
frontend/src/stores/ArtifactPanelStore.ts, frontend/src/stores/index.ts
Added ArtifactPanelStore managing open tabs, active selection, pinning, and navigation history. Exported store, hook, and types from stores/index.
Keyboard shortcuts & route artifact detection
frontend/src/hooks/useChatFirstShortcuts.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useRouteArtifact.ts
Added useChatFirstShortcuts hook for Cmd/Ctrl key combinations (sidebar toggle, layout switching, new chat, artifact navigation). Added useRouteArtifact hook to parse pathname and open corresponding artifact tabs.
Chat components & context
frontend/src/features/ai/ChatView/ChatView.tsx, frontend/src/features/ai/ChatView/ChatEmptyState.tsx
Extended ChatView with persistentMode prop to skip auto-resume logic. Added ChatEmptyState with time-based greeting, context-aware prompt categories, and quick-navigation links.
Issue page context & error handling
frontend/src/app/(workspace)/[workspaceSlug]/issues/[issueId]/page.tsx, frontend/src/stores/ai/PilotSpaceStreamHandler.ts
Extended IssuePagePilotSpaceAPI.setIssueContext to accept optional issueTitle and issueStatus. Enhanced error parsing in PilotSpaceStreamHandler to detect and provide guidance for missing API key errors.
Component exports
frontend/src/components/layout/index.ts
Added ChatFirstShell re-export.

Action required

1. Nested tab close button 🐞
Description
ArtifactTabBar renders a tab <button> that contains another <button> for closing the tab, which is
invalid HTML and can break focus, keyboard navigation, and assistive-tech semantics for the tablist.
Code

The tab itself is a <button role="tab"> and it contains a second <button> used as the close control;
nested buttons are invalid and commonly cause inconsistent click/focus behavior across browsers and
screen readers.

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`ArtifactTabBar` nests a close `<button>` inside the tab `<button role="tab">`, which is invalid HTML and can break focus/keyboard behavior.

### Issue Context
You need two separate interactive controls: the tab activator and the close control.

### Fix Focus Areas
- frontend/src/components/layout/artifact-tab-bar.tsx[68-112]

### Suggested fix approach
- Replace the current structure with a non-interactive wrapper (e.g. `<div className="group ...">`) that contains:
 - a single `<button role="tab" ...>` for selecting/activating the tab
 - a sibling `<button type="button" ...>` for closing
- Ensure keyboard behavior remains sane:
 - Arrow/Home/End should move focus among *tab buttons only*
 - Close button should be reachable via Tab (optional) but must not be nested inside the tab button
- Keep `e.stopPropagation()` on the close button if clicking close should not activate the tab.

2. Shortcuts block browser defaults 🐞
Description
useChatFirstShortcuts globally calls preventDefault for Cmd/Ctrl shortcuts without checking whether
the user is currently typing in an input/textarea/contenteditable, which can break expected editing

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`useChatFirstShortcuts` intercepts Cmd/Ctrl shortcuts at the document level and `preventDefault()`s them even when focus is inside an `<input>`, `<textarea>`, or `contenteditable` element. This can break expected typing/editor/browser behaviors.

### Issue Context
This hook is invoked from the chat-first shell, so the behavior affects users under `layout_v2`.

### Fix Focus Areas
- frontend/src/hooks/useChatFirstShortcuts.ts[18-76]

### Suggested fix approach
- Add a guard at the top of `handleKeyDown` to skip handling when the event target is an editable element:
 - `input`, `textarea`, `select`, or `[contenteditable="true"]` / `isContentEditable`
- Additionally, only call `preventDefault()` when you actually perform an action:
 - For Cmd+[ / Cmd+], only preventDefault if `artifactPanel.canGoBack/canGoForward` is true (otherwise let browser back/forward work).
- Consider scoping behavior to when the chat-first layout is active and/or when the artifact panel has focus.

3. Hydration bypasses size clamps 🐞
Description
UIStore.loadFromStorage assigns artifactPanelSize/chatColumnSize directly from persisted state,
bypassing the store’s own clamping setters and allowing out-of-range values to violate expected
layout invariants.
Code

frontend/src/stores/UIStore.ts[R112-115]

        this.theme = state.theme ?? 'system';
+        this.layoutMode = state.layoutMode ?? 'chat-first';
+        this.artifactPanelSize = state.artifactPanelSize ?? 60;
+        this.chatColumnSize = state.chatColumnSize ?? 40;
Evidence
Hydration sets artifactPanelSize and chatColumnSize directly, while dedicated setters enforce
min/max bounds; this means persisted values can put the store into a state the setters explicitly
try to prevent.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`UIStore.loadFromStorage()` assigns `artifactPanelSize` and `chatColumnSize` directly, bypassing clamping in `setArtifactPanelSize`/`setChatColumnSize`. This can violate the store’s intended invariants.

### Issue Context
You already defined explicit min/max constraints in setters, suggesting these values are expected to remain within bounds.

### Fix Focus Areas
- frontend/src/stores/UIStore.ts[102-120]
- frontend/src/stores/UIStore.ts[248-254]

### Suggested fix approach
- When loading from storage, validate and clamp values:
 - Use the setters (`this.setArtifactPanelSize(...)`, `this.setChatColumnSize(...)`) instead of direct assignment, OR
 - Inline clamp with `Math.max/min` and a `Number.isFinite` check.
- Keep defaults (60/40) but ensure any persisted values are sanitized before assigning.

27-33: Consider early return to avoid unnecessary rendering during redirect.

When layout_v2 is enabled, the redirect effect fires but the component continues executing the remaining effects and renders the ChatView before navigation completes. This causes brief unnecessary work.

191-199: Minor: Unnecessary effect re-runs from inputValue dependency.

Adding inputValue to the dependency array causes this effect to re-execute on every keystroke while the user types. Since the lastPrefillRef guard and !inputValue.trim() check prevent any action when inputValue has content, the effect body becomes a no-op but still runs repeatedly.

Consider restructuring to avoid the inputValue dependency:

83-92: Layout mode transitions may override user's explicit choice.

When navigating to an artifact route, this hook always sets layoutMode to 'chat-artifact' if currently 'chat-first' (Line 84-86). However, if the user was in 'canvas-first' mode (expanded artifact), navigating to another artifact will stay in canvas-first — which is good.

But when navigating away from an artifact (Lines 87-91), if layoutMode is 'canvas-first', it still transitions to 'chat-first', potentially surprising users who prefer the expanded view.

Consider whether 'canvas-first' should be preserved or reset on navigation. This is a UX decision rather than a bug.

22-34: Potential race between this reaction and useRouteArtifact's layout transitions.

Both this reaction and the useRouteArtifact hook modify uiStore.layoutMode. When a user navigates to an artifact route:

  1. useRouteArtifact calls artifactPanel.openTab() and sets layoutMode to 'chat-artifact'
  2. This reaction fires when hasOpenTabs changes and also sets layoutMode

While both set the same value ('chat-artifact'), the redundant transitions could cause unnecessary re-renders. More importantly, when closing the last tab:

  1. artifactPanel.closeTab() triggers hasOpenTabsfalse
  2. This reaction sets layoutMode to 'chat-first'
  3. But if useRouteArtifact is still on an artifact route, it might try to re-open the tab

Consider whether the reaction here is needed given useRouteArtifact already handles transitions, or add coordination to prevent fighting.

- Around line 90-108: The close button is nested inside the tab button (invalid
HTML); refactor the tab rendering so the outer clickable element for the tab is
not a <button> that contains the close <button>. Wrap the tab content in a
non-interactive container (e.g., a div with role="tab" / appropriate
aria-selected and tabIndex) and render the close control as a separate <button>
that calls artifactPanel.closeTab(tab.id) on click; ensure the tab activation
logic currently on the parent button is moved to the container’s
onClick/onKeyDown handlers (handle Enter/Space) and preserve the X icon
component usage and all focus/aria attributes for accessibility.

In `@frontend/src/components/layout/chat-first-shell.tsx`:
- Around line 224-242: The ResizablePanel sizes are only used as defaults
(uiStore.chatColumnSize and uiStore.artifactPanelSize) but never written back
after drag; add resize handlers on the ResizablePanelGroup/ResizablePanel to
compute the new percentage sizes and call the uiStore mutators (e.g.,
uiStore.setChatColumnSize(...) and uiStore.setArtifactPanelSize(...) or the
equivalent setters) to persist updated values so the split ratios survive
reloads; ensure you derive percentages from the panel sizes passed to the
onResize/onChange callback and store them as integers/floats matching the
existing uiStore fields.
- Around line 163-165: The live region only announces the "opened" state; change
it to announce both open and close by computing an announcement string from the
artifact panel visibility and rendering that in the aria-live region. In the
ChatFirstShell component, watch showArtifactPanel and isRouteArtifact (e.g.,
with a useEffect or a usePrevious hook) and set a local announcement state like
artifactAnnouncement to "Artifact panel opened" when showArtifactPanel &&
isRouteArtifact and to "Artifact panel closed" when the panel becomes not
visible; render artifactAnnouncement inside the div with aria-live="polite" so
both open and close events are announced to assistive tech.

In `@frontend/src/components/layout/conversation-sidebar.tsx`:
- Around line 213-219: Replace the inline window.confirm call inside
DropdownMenuItem's onSelect with shadcn/ui's AlertDialog: change
DropdownMenuItem (the trigger) to open an AlertDialog (use AlertDialog,
AlertDialogTrigger, AlertDialogContent, AlertDialogHeader, AlertDialogFooter,
AlertDialogAction, AlertDialogCancel), move the confirm prompt into
AlertDialogContent, and call sessionListStore.deleteSession(session.sessionId)
from the AlertDialogAction handler; ensure the AlertDialog has proper
aria-label/heading text, keyboard-focusable buttons (Cancel and Delete), and
uses the project's design tokens/classes for destructive styling so the dialog
is accessible and visually consistent.
- Around line 147-154: The search <input> currently relies only on placeholder
text and lacks an accessible name; update the input (the element with
placeholder="Search conversations..." and className="flex-1 bg-transparent ...")
to provide an accessible name—either add aria-label="Search conversations" or
wire up aria-labelledby to a visible label—so screen readers announce its
purpose (this change does not affect the existing onChange that calls
sessionListStore?.searchSessions).

In `@frontend/src/features/ai/ChatView/ChatEmptyState.tsx`:
- Around line 184-202: The Quick Actions nav builds hrefs using workspaceSlug
which can be empty and produce protocol-relative URLs like "//notes"; update the
Link href construction in ChatEmptyState (where QUICK_ACTIONS are mapped) to
guard against an empty workspaceSlug by conditionally constructing the path—use
`/${workspaceSlug}/${path}` only when workspaceSlug is non-empty, otherwise use
`/${path}` (or otherwise sanitize/join segments) so generated hrefs never start
with a double slash.
- Around line 126-128: The greeting construction in ChatEmptyState.tsx uses
userName.split(' ')[0] which yields an empty string for empty or whitespace-only
userName and produces "Good morning, ."; update the logic that builds greeting
(the greeting constant that uses getGreeting() and userName) to defensively trim
userName and check for emptiness (e.g., const firstName = userName?.trim() ?
userName.trim().split(' ')[0] : undefined) and only include the ", {firstName}."
segment when firstName is non-empty so greetings become "Good morning." for
blank names and "Good morning, Alice." for valid names.

In `@frontend/src/stores/ArtifactPanelStore.ts`:
- Around line 94-105: closeTab currently removes the tab from openTabs and
pinnedTabIds but leaves any references in the navigation history, so
goBack()/goForward() can land on closed IDs; update closeTab (and the same logic
around the close flow at the other block referenced) to also remove the closed
tabId from whatever navigation stacks/state you use (e.g., back/forward stacks
or a single history array) and adjust activeTabId selection as before —
specifically, after this.openTabs.splice(...) and
this.pinnedTabIds.delete(tabId) remove all occurrences of tabId from the history
structures (e.g., this.backStack, this.forwardStack or this.history) so
navigation never returns to a closed tab, and ensure if the activeTabId was set
to a pruned id you re-evaluate it to prev?.id ?? null.
- Around line 107-111: The setActiveTab method currently sets this.activeTabId
directly (in ArtifactPanelStore.setActiveTab) which bypasses the navigation
history and prevents goBack()/goForward() from seeing manual tab switches;
change setActiveTab so that after validating the tab exists
(this.openTabs.some(...)) it calls the existing pushHistory method (or the
appropriate history-pushing helper used elsewhere) with the new tabId instead of
directly assigning this.activeTabId, ensuring pushHistory records the tab change
so goBack/goForward will work with manual tab activations.

Nitpick comments:
In `@frontend/src/app/`(workspace)/[workspaceSlug]/chat/page.tsx:
- Around line 27-33: When layout_v2 is enabled the component still continues
rendering and running effects while the redirect effect (useEffect with
router.replace) runs; short-circuit the component when
workspaceStore.isFeatureEnabled('layout_v2') is true (and slug exists) to avoid
rendering ChatView and running other effects. Add an early-return at the top of
the page component that triggers or waits for the same redirect
(router.replace(`/${slug}`)) and returns null (or a minimal placeholder) so the
rest of the component (ChatView render and other effects) does not execute when
useV2Layout is true.

In `@frontend/src/components/layout/artifact-panel.tsx`:
- Around line 22-34: This reaction is racing with useRouteArtifact which already
toggles layoutMode; either remove this reaction entirely or add guards so it
never overrides route-driven transitions: update the reaction on
artifactPanel.hasOpenTabs to only call uiStore.setLayoutMode when the current
route is not an artifact route (use the same route-checking
state/useRouteArtifact flag used by useRouteArtifact), e.g. only set layoutMode
on open/close if !isArtifactRoute or a new suppressLayoutSync flag on uiStore is
false; reference artifactPanel.hasOpenTabs, uiStore.layoutMode,
uiStore.setLayoutMode, and useRouteArtifact (and artifactPanel.openTab/closeTab)
when implementing the guard or removal.

In `@frontend/src/components/layout/chat-first-shell.tsx`:
- Around line 60-69: The plain <button> used for "Check AI provider settings"
should be replaced with the shadcn Button primitive to preserve design tokens
and focus behavior: import and use the Button component (e.g., Button) instead
of the raw element, keep the onClick handler that dispatches new
CustomEvent('pilot:open-settings', { detail: { tab: 'ai-providers' } }), and map
the current styling/intent to the Button props (e.g., variant="link" or
appropriate className) so the visual/hover/transition behavior remains
consistent with other shadcn/ui components.

In `@frontend/src/components/layout/conversation-sidebar.tsx`:
- Around line 98-106: The current heuristic in the useEffect (checking
workspaceId.includes('-')) to decide when to call notificationStore.startPolling
is fragile and can misclassify dashed slugs; replace that check with a proper
UUID test (e.g., use a UUID regex) so the effect only starts polling for true
UUID workspaceId values; update the conditional in the useEffect that references
workspaceId, isAuthenticated, and notificationStore (the block that calls
notificationStore.startPolling(workspaceId) and notificationStore.stopPolling())
to use the regex-based isUuid check instead of includes('-').

In `@frontend/src/features/ai/ChatView/ChatView.tsx`:
- Around line 191-199: The effect watching prefillValue currently includes
inputValue in its dependency array causing needless re-runs on each keystroke;
remove inputValue from the dependency array and instead use a ref to read the
live input value inside the effect (add or reuse an inputValueRef that you
update in the input change handler where setInputValue is called). Keep the
existing guards (lastPrefillRef and the trimmed-empty check) but change the
check to use inputValueRef.current.trim() so the effect only reruns when
prefillValue changes and still only sets setInputValue(prefillValue) when the
user hasn't typed.

In `@frontend/src/hooks/useChatFirstShortcuts.ts`:
- Around line 18-72: The keyboard handler in handleKeyDown should early-return
when focus is inside editable elements to avoid overriding native shortcuts:
inside the handleKeyDown function (in useChatFirstShortcuts.ts) check the event
target (e.target) or document.activeElement for being an input, textarea,
select, or having isContentEditable true (and optionally elements with
role="textbox"), and if so return without calling preventDefault or executing
shortcut actions; implement this guard at the top of handleKeyDown before any
shortcut logic so commands like Cmd+B won't interfere while typing.

In `@frontend/src/hooks/useRouteArtifact.ts`:
- Around line 83-92: The current hook unconditionally resets uiStore.layoutMode
to 'chat-first' when leaving an artifact route, which overrides users who had
explicitly chosen 'canvas-first'; update the logic in the route handling (the
block using uiStore.layoutMode and uiStore.setLayoutMode) so that on navigation
away you only set layoutMode to 'chat-first' when the previous mode was
'chat-artifact' (or when no explicit 'canvas-first' choice exists), and preserve
'canvas-first' if uiStore.layoutMode === 'canvas-first'; ensure the same
targeted check is applied when entering an artifact route (only switch to
'chat-artifact' from 'chat-first', not from 'canvas-first') so both transitions
respect explicit user choice.

In `@frontend/src/stores/UIStore.ts`:
- Around line 248-254: Extract the hard-coded clamp bounds in
setArtifactPanelSize and setChatColumnSize into named constants (e.g.,
ARTIFACT_PANEL_MIN, ARTIFACT_PANEL_MAX, CHAT_COLUMN_MIN, CHAT_COLUMN_MAX) at the
top of the module or class, then replace the literals 30/85 and 15/70 with those
constants inside the methods so the clamping logic (this.artifactPanelSize =
Math.max(ARTIFACT_PANEL_MIN, Math.min(ARTIFACT_PANEL_MAX, size)); and
this.chatColumnSize = Math.max(CHAT_COLUMN_MIN, Math.min(CHAT_COLUMN_MAX,
size));) is clearer and easier to maintain.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Nested interactive elements: button inside button is invalid HTML.

The close button (Lines 90-108) is nested inside the tab button (Lines 72-109). Nested interactive elements are invalid HTML and violate WCAG 2.2 requirements. Screen readers and keyboard navigation will behave unpredictably.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

setActiveTab bypasses history, so back/forward misses manual tab switches.

Line 109 updates activeTabId without calling pushHistory, which makes tab-bar activation invisible to goBack() / goForward().

Proposed fix
 setActiveTab(tabId: string): void {
-  if (this.openTabs.some((t) => t.id === tabId)) {
+  if (this.openTabs.some((t) => t.id === tabId) && this.activeTabId !== tabId) {
     this.activeTabId = tabId;
+    this.pushHistory(tabId);
   }
 }

In `@frontend/src/stores/ArtifactPanelStore.ts` around lines 107 - 111, The
setActiveTab method currently sets this.activeTabId directly (in
ArtifactPanelStore.setActiveTab) which bypasses the navigation history and
prevents goBack()/goForward() from seeing manual tab switches; change
setActiveTab so that after validating the tab exists (this.openTabs.some(...))
it calls the existing pushHistory method (or the appropriate history-pushing
helper used elsewhere) with the new tabId instead of directly assigning
this.activeTabId, ensuring pushHistory records the tab change so
goBack/goForward will work with manual tab activations.
