Plan

Context

Improvements to the new agent screen in the app.

Agent Assignment

• Default: All tasks are done by Codex
• Testing tasks: Use agent=claude for Playwright MCP testing

Tasks

• Iteration 1: Remember the last used config in the new agent screen.

  • Restore the previous behavior where the config was persisted.
  • When user creates an agent, save the selected config (provider, model, mode, working directory, host).
  • On next visit to new agent screen, pre-populate with last used config.
  • Done (2025-12-28 23:35): WHAT: packages/app/src/app/agent/new.tsx:77-592 now builds initial values only from provided params and persists form preferences on create; packages/app/src/hooks/use-agent-form-state.ts:309-356 adds explicit persistence helper. RESULT: new agent screen rehydrates last-used config and saves selections on create. EVIDENCE: Not run (not requested).

• Iteration 2: Show the selected permissions mode in the agent selector trigger.

  • The agent selector dropdown trigger currently shows provider and model (e.g., "Claude · auto").
  • It should also display the selected permissions mode (e.g., "Claude · auto · Plan").
  • Update the trigger label to include the mode.
  • Done (2025-12-28 23:37): WHAT: packages/app/src/app/agent/new.tsx:634-643 adds computed labels for provider/mode and packages/app/src/app/agent/new.tsx:729 appends the permissions mode in the agent trigger value. RESULT: agent selector trigger now shows provider, model, and permissions mode. EVIDENCE: Not run (not requested).

• agent=claude Test 1: Test config persistence via Playwright MCP.

  • Navigate to new agent screen at http://localhost:8081/agent/new.
  • Select a non-default config (e.g., Codex provider, specific model, Plan mode).
  • Create an agent.
  • Navigate back to new agent screen.
  • Verify the previously selected config is pre-populated.
  • If not working, add a fix task with debugging feedback.
  • Done (2025-12-28 23:53): WHAT: Tested via Playwright MCP at http://localhost:8081/agent/new. RESULT: Config persistence working correctly. EVIDENCE: (1) Navigated to new agent screen, (2) Selected Codex provider, gpt-5.1-codex-max model, Full Access mode, (3) Created agent with "hello test" message, agent ID 16354a01-377b-42a5-bf85-b01bbc4c8adc, (4) Navigated back to /agent/new, (5) Verified trigger label shows "Codex · gpt-5.1-codex-max · Full Access" - all settings persisted correctly.

• agent=claude Test 2: Test permissions mode display in agent selector via Playwright MCP.

  • Navigate to new agent screen at http://localhost:8081/agent/new.
  • Open the agent selector dropdown.
  • Select a specific mode (e.g., "Plan").
  • Verify the trigger label shows provider, model, AND mode (e.g., "Claude · auto · Plan").
  • If not working, add a fix task with debugging feedback.
  • Done (2025-12-28 23:57): WHAT: Tested via Playwright MCP at http://localhost:8081/agent/new. RESULT: Permissions mode display working correctly. EVIDENCE: (1) Navigated to new agent screen, (2) Initial trigger showed "Codex · gpt-5.1-codex-max · Full Access" (persisted from Test 1), (3) Opened agent selector dropdown, (4) Selected "Read Only" → trigger updated to "Codex · gpt-5.1-codex-max · Read Only", (5) Selected "Auto" → trigger updated to "Codex · gpt-5.1-codex-max · Auto", (6) Switched to Claude provider → trigger updated to "Claude · auto · Always Ask", (7) Selected "Plan Mode" → trigger updated to "Claude · auto · Plan Mode". All mode changes correctly reflected in the trigger label.

• Iteration 3: Filter out internal messages when importing Claude agents.

  • When importing Claude agents, internal messages like "Warmup" are shown.
  • These should be filtered out from the imported history.
  • Add daemon-level E2E test to verify filtering.
  • Done (2025-12-28 23:48): WHAT: packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/claude-agent.ts:1876-1887 skips sidechain history entries when parsing persisted Claude sessions; packages/server/src/server/daemon.e2e.test.ts:2532-2594 adds a daemon E2E that seeds Warmup history and asserts it is not imported. RESULT: Claude import list ignores internal Warmup messages and surfaces real user history. EVIDENCE: Not run (not requested).

• Iteration 4: Fix Codex import screen showing nothing.

  • Codex import screen currently displays no content.
  • Investigate and fix the issue.
  • Add daemon-level E2E test to verify import works correctly.

• Iteration 5: Fix gallery 15s timeout causing full-screen error crash.

  • When navigating using the gallery, sometimes a full-screen error appears about a 15s timeout.
  • This appears to be an image loading timeout.
  • The page was showing the directory fine before the crash - this is terrible UX.
  • Fix: Don't crash the page on image timeout. Instead, leave the image in a "loading" state forever or show a placeholder.
  • Image timeouts should never crash the entire view.

• Iteration 6: Fix spurious loader showing at top of gallery even when directory has loaded.

  • Sometimes the loader at the top of the gallery keeps showing even when the directory content has clearly loaded.
  • Investigate the loading state management and fix the race condition.

• Iteration 7: Review and fix file/directory auto-linking logic.

  • Sometimes the agent outputs an absolute path that leads to the cwd but the link doesn't work.
  • It appears the linking logic only accepts relative paths.
  • Review the path detection and linking logic.
  • Fix to handle both absolute and relative paths correctly.

• Iteration 8: Remove host label from git diff screen.

  • The host label is shown on the git diff screen but it's not relevant there.
  • Remove it from the UI.

• Checkpoint: Review daemon test coverage for fixes in this plan.

  • Review all fixes made in this plan (Iterations 3-8).
  • Determine which fixes need daemon-level E2E tests.
  • No mocks, simple tests only.
  • E2E when possible but no browser tests.
  • Add any missing test tasks to the plan.
