Add complete archive workflows to the default sidebar

[Quicksaver]

Summary

The default sidebar treats settle and archive as separate lifecycle states, but its archive support stopped short of the workflows people need. Archiving one root conversation, a selection, or every settled conversation required switching to the legacy sidebar. Any new action also had to avoid threads that were starting or still doing foreground or background work.

The default sidebar and chat header now cover the full archive lifecycle without taking ownership of their existing row, pagination, sorting, filtering, or search behavior. Archive flows confirm when configured, recheck live eligibility, and coordinate concurrent requests per thread. Overlapping actions cannot archive the same thread twice, and successful work stays visible if a later archive or navigation fails. Users can manage individual, selected, and all-settled conversations where they already work, without conflating archive with settle.

What changed

• Added adjacent un-settle and archive buttons to settled rows. They appear on hover or keyboard focus, use the shared lifecycle styling and tooltip, and keep disabled clicks from falling through to row navigation.
• Added Archive all to the settled shelf for the complete settled partition in the current project, including rows behind pagination. It rechecks active work and settled membership before each archive and stays mounted while a batch is running.
• Added Archive to the default-sidebar and chat-header menus for settled and unsettled root conversations. Nested subagent rows still omit root lifecycle actions.
• Added selected-thread archiving with confirmation, live eligibility checks, selection cleanup, partial-success reporting, and matching safeguards in the legacy sidebar.
• Moved confirmation, optimistic visibility, archived-snapshot refresh, selection cleanup, and outcome reporting into shared archive hooks. A later failure no longer makes completed archives look rolled back.
• Added one process-wide reservation pool in threadArchive.logic.ts for individual, selected, and all-settled flows. Waiting requests reserve uncontested threads, consume successful archives and intentional skips, and retry canceled or failed work.
• Kept sidebar-only eligibility and presentation rules in SidebarArchiveControls.logic.ts and controls in SidebarArchiveControls.tsx. The narrow Sidebar.logic.ts compatibility facade leaves upstream-owned sidebar integration points intact.
• Added focused logic and component tests for menu composition, lifecycle controls, active-work detection, live rechecks, coordination outcomes, and archive feedback.

Validation

• pnpm exec vp test run passed 135 focused tests across the sidebar logic, archive policy, archive controls, action-menu, and thread-action suites. Coverage included starting-session guards, owner-skip and later-throw coordination, live eligibility and settled-membership rechecks, and pointer-safe disabled controls.
• Targeted vp fmt --check and vp lint passed for the refactored archive-policy files. git diff --check passed for the complete branch diff.
• Playwright exercised the default sidebar against an isolated server and disposable project. Two synchronous triggers produced one thread.archived event and one archived projection.
• Controlled-browser overlap passes covered owner success, owner cancellation, incremental success, intentional eligibility skips, and waiter retries. They produced no duplicate archive commands or stale confirmation scopes.
• An isolated pagination pass rendered three settled rows and Archive all 3 settled threads. Activating it removed the shelf, and SQLite recorded a distinct archived_at timestamp for each authoritative projection.
• In-flight Archive all passes kept the disabled button mounted and hit-testable through mutation and navigation. It reported cursor: not-allowed and pointer-events: auto, and center-point hit testing returned the button. When every confirmed fixture became active, the batch warned about the skips and left the projections unarchived.
• Settled-membership passes held confirmation open and then un-settled an owned fixture. The active fixture stayed unarchived, its settled sibling archived, and overlapping waiters did not retry the intentional skip.
• Controlled-browser passes on fixed ports 5743/13783 covered settled-row archiving, starting-session blocking, legacy multi-select archiving, and the blocked row control's pointer-safe state against Archive settings and SQLite. The browser console had no warnings or errors.

Note

Medium Risk
Touches thread lifecycle, navigation after archive, and concurrent bulk mutations across three surfaces; coordination and live re-checks are heavily tested but regressions could affect selection state or partial bulk outcomes.

Overview
Brings archive to parity with settle in the default sidebar: settled rows get hover/focus un-settle + archive controls, the Settled shelf gets Archive all (including paginated tail), and multi-select/context menus route archive through shared hooks instead of inline logic in Sidebar.tsx and useThreadActionMenu.ts.

Eligibility widens from “running turn only” to starting sessions, active turns, and any background liveness (isThreadArchiveBlocked), with disabled controls still capturing clicks and tooltips explaining why. Bulk paths re-check eligibility at mutation time, skip ineligible threads without stopping the batch, warn on skips, and only remove successfully archived keys from selection.

New threadArchive.logic.ts centralizes batch outcomes and a process-wide reservation pool so overlapping individual, selection, and archive-all flows don’t double-archive or drop work; useThreadArchiveActions / useSidebarArchiveActions own confirmation, toasts, selection cleanup, and settled-membership checks for archive-all. SidebarArchiveControls isolates fork UI; Sidebar.logic.ts re-exports archive helpers for legacy import seams.

Note

Add complete archive workflows to the default sidebar

• Adds SidebarSettledLifecycleControls and SidebarSettledDivider to expose per-row and bulk "Archive All" actions in the sidebar.
• Introduces archiveSelectedThreadEntries and withCoordinatedThreadArchiveEntries in threadArchive.logic.ts to handle batch archiving and coordinate concurrent flows to prevent double-processing.
• Adds isThreadArchiveBlocked to disable archiving when a thread is starting, running, or has active background work, replacing inline running-session checks across the sidebar.
• Risk: Updates ThreadArchiveBlockedError message to "Cannot archive a thread while work is still active." and bulk archive now skips blocked threads instead of failing entirely.

One consistency finding in the new fork-owned archive controls. Everything else (shared lifecycle button classes, tooltip primitive usage for the row archive status copy, focus-visible crossfade on the slim status slot, sidebar token usage) lines up with the surrounding row surface.

One finding on the new fork-owned archive control's disabled presentation. Everything else in the changed UI surface (shared lifecycle button classes, settled divider layout, tooltip primitive usage, slim-slot focus-visible crossfade) lines up with the surrounding upstream row surface.
