fix(chat): show the Working head only for a turn in progress - #2551
Part of #2550: this PR fixes the Working head before a chat's first read (F19) and a finished turn shown as live again (F23). The early end of Working… (F20) and the /clear flash in an empty chat (F21) stay open in the issue.
This PR fixes parts 1 and 2 of the issue. Parts 3 ("Working…" goes before the answer) and 4 (/clear in an empty chat) stay open. Each needs a hold across components or a change to the server's first-turn rule. The issue describes both.
src/lib/workBlocks.ts (isLiveWorkTurn): while the status is working, a turn whose last part is a final_answer text is not live (new helper endedOnAnswer). Claude gives that phase only to an end_turn entry, and it starts a new turn after one. The other agents set it only when a turn completes. Until now, only a send from this browser (sentOver) kept the finished turn finished. Now a turn the agent starts by itself (a background task ended), or one from the terminal or another device, leaves it finished too. The check is in the shared function, so both callers in ChatView get it. blocked keeps its old rule: a turn that waits on the user keeps its "Needs you" head.
src/components/ChatView.tsx, the footer's pending "Working…" head:
It waits for the chat's first read (loaded), as the empty state already does. Until then "Loading conversation…" is the only line. The rows that come then carry the running turn's own head.
While the status is working over a turn that ended on its final answer, the head waits 800 ms (ANSWER_STATUS_LAG_MS). At a normal turn end, herdr's status trails the transcript: My test runs measured 100–400 ms between the answer row and the status change. Without the wait, a head flashes under every answer for that time. 800 ms is twice the longest lag measured. A turn the agent starts by itself still shows its head within a second, or its first row sooner (215 ms after the status in my live run).
A send from this browser does not wait: its turn is on the way, and its head shows at once, as before.
Tests that changed: scripts/chat-fallback-browser-qa.ts and scripts/chat-browser-qa.ts made a turn "run" with a working status over a turn that had ended on its final answer. That is the case this PR changes. They now draw a turn still at work (a Claude entry with no end_turn yet, a Codex turn with no answer yet). chat-browser-qa also checks that the ended turn stays folded when the agent works again.
New demo regression scripts/chat-working-line-demo-regression.ts, in the browser lane and in docs/development.md. It records every painted frame of the demo's chat in three cases:
A switch to the working "api" pane, with its first read held.
A working status over the "flaky" pane's finished turn, with no new row.
A turn end: the answer is drawn while the status says working, and the pane rests 300 ms after the frame that paints it.
Reference app: the Codex app. Its "Worked for" header stays on a finished turn, and the working state belongs to the turn in progress. The DESIGN.md work block entry now says this, with the 800 ms wait.
Alternative not taken: on a status edge from rest to working, mark the last turn as sent over (a layout effect in ChatView). It takes a status edge alone as proof of a new turn. A turn whose first row came before the status then reads as finished while it runs.
bun test src/lib/workBlocks.test.ts, new test "does not title a turn that ended on its final answer as running…": on main 42 pass, 1 fail (isLiveWorkTurn(answered, true, "working") gives true). With this PR 43 pass.
bun scripts/chat-working-line-demo-regression.ts:
On main it fails at "no Working head stands in for the turn while its rows are read". While the chat had no rows, the footer showed Working…, next to "Loading conversation…" for the rest of the held read.
With the ChatViewloaded gate alone, it fails at "the finished turn is never titled Working… or opened again" (live/open:Working…).
Without the 800 ms wait, it fails at "no Working head stands under the answer while the status catches up with it" (3 of 3 runs).
With this PR, all 3 checks pass, in 9 of 9 runs.
bun run check run --build bun scripts/chat-browser-qa.ts (the updated script): on main it times out waiting for the Working head under the ended turn. With this PR 9 pass, in 3 of 3 runs. main's own script passes on main (9 pass).
bun scripts/chat-fallback-browser-qa.ts: main's script with this PR fails at the live block (the fixture's turn had ended). The updated script passes on main and with this PR (7 pass each).
Demo regressions, one at a time, on main (53542d6) and with this PR:
pane-paging is flaky on this Mac: it fails at "a modal blocks pane paging" in 3 of 4 runs on main and in 3 of 5 runs with this PR. My earlier runs on this Mac failed the same way.
bun test of the targeted files: workBlocks, ChatTurn, ChatFallback, greeting, sentWaiting, SentWaiting, panePresentation, i18n, src/conventions, scripts/conventions, scripts/changelog-fold, scripts/pages-gate: 266 pass.
bun test src shared in one process: 3647 pass. The 6 failures are in src/lib/settingsHistory.test.ts, the same on main. That file passes alone (38 pass).
scripts/ci-browser.test.ts: the 4 "browser lane" tests fail on this Mac on main too (date -Is is not a macOS option). The script-list tests pass.
Evidence from my test runs (headless Chromium, frame recorder):
Part 1, live with Claude Code 2.1.316: the finished turn read "Working…" and opened from 58342 ms (status BG → RUN) to 58742 ms, then folded a second time. 1 of 2 runs. In the demo with a status push and no new row, it reopened every time, and its row grew from 145 px to 274 px. With the fix, it stays folded, and the footer shows the pending head after 800 ms.
Part 2, demo: a one-frame (18 ms) head before the rows, in 1 of 3 runs. With the first read held, the head showed for the whole read. With the fix, only "Loading conversation…" shows during the read.
Not run: bun run check fast. It hangs on this Mac in server/usage-login-private. These files also fail on main here: scripts/check, scripts/self-hosted-runner, scripts/install-star, scripts/ci-browser, scripts/ci-browser-parallel, server/codex, server/codex-processes, server/session-history, server/letta, server/remote-entry, server/core/composer-framing, server/usage-login-private, and sometimes server/bridge.
A turn that ended on its final answer is no longer titled "Working…" and
opened again when the agent works with no send from this browser (a
background task ended, a message from the terminal). The pending Working
head under the rows stands for the new turn, as after a send. Over a turn
that ended on its answer, that head waits 800 ms: at a normal turn end
herdr's status trails the answer by 100-400 ms, and a head at once would
flash under every answer.
The activity line waits for the chat's first read, as the empty state
does: a switch to a working pane shows "Loading conversation…" alone,
then the running turn's own head with its rows.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Completed answers now remain settled when a new turn starts, instead of briefly showing as “Working…”.
When opening a chat that is still loading, “Loading conversation…” remains the only line until the conversation is ready.
The “Working…” indicator appears after a brief delay, reducing premature activity messages while a turn is underway.
The change updates when turns count as live work and when the chat activity indicator appears. It adds browser regression checks for loading, agent-started work, and answers that appear before the pane becomes idle.
Turns ending in a final_answer are no longer classified as live work while status is working. The design description records the completed-turn and pending-head behavior.
The activity indicator now waits for the conversation to load and applies an 800 ms delay after an answer. Browser checks cover loading, agent-started work, and answer rendering. The new regression script is added to browser CI and documented.
devswha/ovis issue 2550 — this change addresses the final-answer classification and pending-head timing described in parts of the issue. The issue states that other parts remain open.

The wait before a Working head under a finished answer was keyed only to
"working over a finished turn". A next turn read in already finished, after
the last one's wait ran out, showed the head under its answer at once. The
wait now runs for each finished turn, named by its start, and the frame a
new one first shows in draws no head.

…e chat under a selection
The answer-lag wait mounted the footer head 800 ms after a finished answer,
which grew the chat under a reader mid-selection. The head now mounts at
once, hidden, and only becomes visible when the wait runs out.
What failed:scripts/reply-comments-demo-regression.ts failed with this PR (passes on main). A mouse selection of a reply line grabbed the next line too ("> replay the local edit on top of it.\n> Show a conflict banner…"), and in CI the chat's scrollTop moved under the selection.
Why: the demo agent stays working over a finished answer. With the answer-lag wait, the footer Working head was mounted 800 ms after the answer was drawn. That grew the chat while the reader (or the test) was mid-selection, so the bottom-pinned chat scrolled and the drag ended one line lower. On main the head is there from the first frame.
Change: the head now mounts at once, as on main, so the layout never changes later. During the wait it stays unseen (chat-activity-reserved: visibility: hidden, aria-hidden) and only becomes visible when the wait runs out. Your behaviour is kept: no head before the first read, and none seen under an answer while herdr's status catches up. DESIGN.md is updated to match.
Validation: reply-comments-demo-regression PASS (late-timeline plus desktop/phone in dark and light), chat-working-line-demo-regression PASS (4/4), chat-local-send-follow-demo-regression PASS, bun test src/lib/workBlocks.test.ts 43 pass, and bun run check fast ok (10511 pass, 0 fail).
Merging into 0.4.22 (part of #2550, by @jpcarranza94): Chat no longer shows a "Working..." head before its first read ("Loading conversation..." is the only line until then), and no longer shows a finished turn as live again: while herdr's status still says working over a turn that ended on its final answer, that turn is over (endedOnAnswer), and the next turn's head waits out the status lag (800 ms, about twice the 100-400 ms measured) unless the send came from this chat. Parts 3 and 4 of #2550 stay open in the issue.
Fix round by the merge pass (798cb4d, main merged in): the delayed head made the chat, which follows the end, grow 800 ms after an answer and scroll under a reader's selection (reply-comments-demo-regression failed 3/3 on the PR, 3/3 PASS on main). The head now takes its place at once, invisible and hidden from screen readers until the wait ends, so showing it moves nothing; reply-comments 5/5, chat-working-line 4/4, chat-local-send-follow 9/9, check fast green.
Reviewed by the merge pass: client-only (workBlocks.ts, ChatView.tsx), plus the new chat-working-line-demo-regression.ts that ci-browser.sh runs (demo build on a loopback server, temp files only).
CodeRabbit reviewed earlier commits but skipped the latest head; its threads are resolved, and the merge pass's own review (Claude reviewer) stands in, findings and resolutions above.
Post-merge adversarial review by Codex (gpt-6.1-terra, xhigh, read-only) of this PR's merge commit against current main, run by the merge pass.
Status: no HIGH; the findings below are not yet reproduced by the merge pass. A reproduced user-visible MEDIUM gets one follow-up issue.
MEDIUM — The false Working head returns when status lags by more than 800 ms.ChatView.tsx
If the final answer reaches the chat while the status still says working, and the idle status arrives 2 seconds later, the footer becomes visible after 800 ms and incorrectly shows a new Working head for the remaining 1.2 seconds. I verified this by tracing the timer and footer conditions: expiry alone makes activityReserved false; there is no evidence that another turn started. A delayed status update on a slow connection triggers the same behavior.
MEDIUM — Different turns can share the timer’s identity.ChatView.tsx
The timer uses only the timestamp when one exists. If an agent starts another turn while the first answer’s timer has expired, and the next transcript read brings in a completed answer with the same timestamp, answerTurn does not change. The old lagOutFor therefore makes Working visible immediately under the new answer, while its status catches up. I ran parseCopilotTranscript with two distinct answers carrying the same timestamp and confirmed it preserves the identical timestamps; the Grok transcript also supports whole-second timestamps. The effect dependency and comparison then establish the collision.
LOW — A send made while the status already says working does not bypass the delay.ChatView.tsx
For example, if a user uses Send now while a completed answer is still the last transcript row and the pane status is working, the send handler sets sentOver to null. Consequently finishedBeforeSend is also null, afterAnswer remains true, and the pending Working head stays hidden until the 800 ms timer expires or a new row arrives. This follows from the send effect at line 1467 and the footer conditions.
The targeted bun test src/lib/workBlocks.test.ts could not run: its preload tried to write test-session files on the read-only filesystem. The parser check above ran successfully; the UI findings are verified by code tracing.
## Release 0.4.22
The release PR, prepared by step 1 of
[docs/development.md#releasing](https://github.com/devswha/ovis/blob/main/docs/development.md#releasing)
on main `41492320` (#2453 the last merge), refreshed to main `99a6671f`
(#2582 the last merge).
**Do not merge yet:** the owner tests main and judges the final build
before release. No tag and no Release run from this PR's author.
- **Version:** `version` is 0.4.22 in `package.json` and
`herdr-plugin.toml`.
- **Changelog:** `bun scripts/changelog-fold.ts 0.4.22` (2026-10-31,
local) folded 20 fragments into the 2026-10-31 section of `CHANGELOG.md`
(23 entries with the hand entry), linked their PRs and deleted the
fragments; `changelog.d` holds only `README.md`.
- `by @login` on every outside contributor's PR link: #2453@jokkopucko,
#2452@jokkopucko, #2442@nahwan-kim, #2463@zerodice0, #2468@Yoonwoo-Ha, #2065@rabbitson87 (both entries), #2466@jpcarranza94,
#2467@jpcarranza94, #2457@YuuuXie, #2420@cheol-95 (both entries),
#2459@Haeminway1, #2450@briantcl1992, #2448@briantcl1992.
- One outside PR had no fragment and got an entry by hand: #2448
(installer test no longer finds the host's Node, Maintenance).
- Issue reporters: #2442's entry credits @Ploppy3, who asked for
herdr-core support in #2439. The other fixed issues were filed by the
PR's own author (#2460@zerodice0, #2464@jpcarranza94, #2419@cheol-95,
#2089@rabbitson87) or the maintainer (#2444), so the PR credit covers
them.
- Two fragments ran past the changelog's width (#2443, #2446); their
entries are re-wrapped, words unchanged.
- Folded after the PR opened (merge of main `653613cb`, by hand per the
release steps): #2474 (Pi Chat message with leading/trailing spaces, a
tab or a trailing `@mention` no longer stuck "waiting for transcript",
Fixed), credited `reported by @BeerBelly69` (he reported issue #2454;
the PR is the maintainer's, so the earlier `by @BeerBelly69` was
corrected in `90536524`). Its fragment is deleted; `changelog.d` holds
only `README.md`. The release summaries are unchanged: their fixed list
is already at five lines.
- Folded in a second refresh (merge of main `98c1f5e0`, by hand): #2475
(a reconnecting or reloading browser gets back its follow-up's lost
"sent" receipt, Fixed), credited `reported by @christso`, who filed
#2421 and proposed the approach. Its fragment is deleted; `changelog.d`
holds only `README.md`. The release summaries are unchanged (fixed list
already at five lines).
- Folded in a third refresh (merge of main `af20e0a4`, by hand): #2490
(Chat keeps its messages mounted when the pane's skill names load, so a
decoded image no longer drops back to its loading slot, Fixed), credited
`by @nocstah` (outside PR, no linked issue); #2483 (a Copilot turn stays
whole when its pictures pass the page window, Fixed); #2479 (Chat shows
the pictures in a Copilot CLI session, Added); #2482 (Chat shows the
picture attached to a Hermes prompt, Added). #2483, #2479 and #2482 are
maintainer PRs; #2483's issue #2478 is the maintainer's, so no reporter
credit. #2480 (site only) had no fragment. Their fragments are deleted;
`changelog.d` holds only `README.md`. The release summaries are
unchanged: the fixed list is already at five lines, and the two new
picture features stay in the changelog only (the new list has room for
them if the owner wants them there).
- Folded in a fourth refresh (merge of main `4ca7d24d`, by hand): #2481
(Grok pictures in Chat), #2477 (svg figures, `reported by @affeek`, who
filed #2441 and co-authored the PR), #2498 (dollar math, `reported by
@kjohnsen`, #2407), #2484 (Expand thinking / Collapse work defaults,
`reported by @altgans and @Ploppy3`, #2346 and #2228) under Added; #2494
(`by @todor-a`), #2491 (`by @nocstah`), #2487, #2486, #2472 (`reported
by @matiemer`, #2462) and #2476 (relay session uses the server's port)
under Fixed. 10 fragments deleted; `changelog.d` holds only `README.md`.
Every entry's credit was re-checked with GraphQL (PR author, closing
issues' authors, commit authors): #2487's #2374, #2486's #2485 and
#2483's #2478 are the maintainer's, so no reporter credit.
- Folded in a fifth refresh (merge of main `f5370d54`, by hand): #2503
(Claude question card steps and Back, `reported and co-authored by
@jpcarranza94`, who filed #2465 and co-authored the fix), #2502 (tab
name from its first message, `reported by @vibewriter-hand`, #2019) and
#2505 (a note on a diff line goes into the next message; #1603 is the
maintainer's, so no credit) under Added; #2506 (OmO, Codex and Hermes
question cards move between questions without answering; it closes no
issue, so no credit) under Fixed. 4 fragments deleted; `changelog.d`
holds only `README.md`. #2499's hand-written relay entry is kept. All
four PRs are the maintainer's; credits re-checked with GraphQL (PR
author, closing issues' authors, commit authors).
- Sixth refresh (merge of main `feb3ae09`, head `e3b0dc37`): main had no
fragment left to fold. #2504 (the owner's PR, no fragment) gets a hand
entry under Added next to #2499's: the PC side of the relay, which
answers the relay's server proof, `/api/relay` start/stop routes
restricted to the owner and to direct connections, and a relay QR from
`plugin pair`; off by default with no Settings switch yet. No credit
(maintainer PR). It stays out of the release summaries (off by default,
no UI).
- Seventh refresh (merge of main `a683e3ff`, head `7855c73c`): folded
#2509's two fragments by hand, two entries under Added (the phone side
of the relay: the hosted shell that pairs from the PC's relay QR and
opens the app end-to-end encrypted; files and chat images through the
relay) and one under Fixed (the iOS and Android apps no longer show the
hosted shell's home-screen hint). Each says the relay is off by default.
#2499's entry now says Ovis uses the relay only once a PC's relay link
is started. No credit (maintainer PR). The fragments are deleted;
`changelog.d` holds only `README.md`. The relay stays out of the release
summaries.
- Eighth refresh (merge of main `0b215abf`, head `f76f3ae4`): folded
#2514's three fragments by hand under Fixed (relay connection limits and
the 30 s wait for an absent PC, proof of the PC's relay key, the hosted
shell's copy-on-select and relay-control requests) and added a hand
entry for #2514 under Added: remote access through the Ovis relay can be
turned on in **Settings → Phone & devices** (off by default), with the
iOS and Android apps opening a relay-paired PC from its link;
app.ovis.sh is deployed separately. #2499, #2504 and #2509's entries no
longer say there is no Settings switch: they now say the relay is turned
on in Settings. No credit (maintainer PR). Also folded #2511 (Claude
task-list scan on file workers, Fixed, `by @duytbp`) and #2518 (feedback
typed on Claude Code's plan card keeps Claude planning, Fixed, `by
@jpcarranza94`, who also reported #2517, so no separate reporter
credit). #2515 is docs only, no fold. 5 fragments deleted; `changelog.d`
holds only `README.md`.
- Ninth refresh (merge of main `fbb97b62`, head `44048d5f`, fold in the
merge commit): folded 23 fragments by hand: 7 entries under Added
(#2514's rewritten relay-identity entry, which replaces its old Fixed
entry about the PC's relay key; #2519 Letta model pill `by @homebodify`;
#2522 relay bulk window and the relay overview, self-hosting and
hosted-shell attestation; #2524 DeepSeek Harness in the catalog), 3
under Changed (#2533 Connect a phone dialog and the `tailscale serve`
box; #2539 chat pictures shown whole) and 26 under Fixed: #2508; #2512
`by @lifeofpi-ux`; #2516; #2521, #2526, #2531, #2538, #2541, #2543,
#2545, #2547, #2549 and #2551 `by @jpcarranza94`; #2527 `reported by
@duytbp` (#2510); #2532; #2535 `reported by @devtm1123` (#2513). #2532's
#2523 is the maintainer's; @jpcarranza94's issues (#2525, #2537, #2540,
#2542, #2544, #2546, #2548, #2550) are covered by his PR credit. #2529
(perf) is not merged and stays out of 0.4.22. 23 fragments deleted;
`changelog.d` holds only `README.md`.
- Tenth refresh (merge of main `afdfb1e0`, head `1cfcfab7`, fold in the
merge commit), on the owner's OK for both: folded #2567 (Connect a phone
shows three choice cards and opens on the relay whenever it is offered,
with the relay's switch on its card on a tailnet; maintainer PR, no
credit) under Changed and #2555 (the New workspace folder picker's
compact row; `by @iwangjie`, no linked issue) under Fixed. 2 fragments
deleted; `changelog.d` holds only `README.md`. The IMPROVED summary line
now says the relay needs no Tailscale, in en, ko, ja and zh.
- Eleventh refresh (merge of main `2b620462`, head `13fa0181`, fold in
the merge commit), on the owner's go for each: folded 13 entries from 12
fragments by hand. Changed: #2562 (a chat starts loading when the press
begins, `by @jpcarranza94`), #2574 (Quote a selection into the message

- Twelfth refresh (merge of main `64ae5e72`, head `3ae2133e`), on Dori's
go: folded #2580 under Fixed (the Cloudflare relay closes both ends of a
pair after a frame send fails, so they reconnect at once; maintainer PR,
no credit) and deleted its fragment. #2579 (guide only) has no fragment.
Summaries unchanged.

- **Remote bundle:** `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` rises from 40 to 41 because
the bundle inputs (`server/`, `shared/`, `bun.lock`) changed since
remote-v40. After merge: push `remote-v41` on the merged commit and wait
for the Remote PC bundles workflow before running Release.
- **Telemetry:** `telemetry/worker.ts` and `shared/telemetry.ts` are
unchanged since `telemetry/deployed.json`; no Worker deploy.
## Validation
- `bun scripts/release-guards.ts --base v0.4.21`: before the bump it

after it, "Release 0.4.22: remote bundle, telemetry Worker and release
metadata are in order."

wait for its bundles, and run Release with `0.4.22`.
[exit 0]
## Change
Fixes#2592. This is a follow-up to #2551: a pending "Working…" head
showed under a finished answer in two cases.
1. **The status trails the answer by more than 800 ms.** The head waited
a fixed 800 ms (`ANSWER_STATUS_LAG_MS`) after an answer drawn while
herdr still said `working`. A slower status catch-up showed the head
anyway.
2. **Two turns with the same start time.** The 800 ms wait was keyed by
the answered turn's `ts`, so a next turn read in already finished with
the same `ts` reused the expired timer and showed the head at once.
`src/components/ChatView.tsx`:
- The answered turn is now named by its row slot key (stable per row,
distinct for each turn), not by `ts`.
- The head under an answer needs evidence of a new turn: the pane was
seen at rest (any status but `working`) under that answered row, then
works again. A status still trailing the answer, however long, never had
that rest, so it shows no head. The 800 ms wait still applies after the
evidence, so a new turn's first row can bring its own head without a
flash.
- A send from this browser is unchanged: its head shows at once.
Trade-off: opening a chat (or reloading) while the agent is already
`working` over a turn that ended on its answer shows no pending head
until the new turn's first row arrives, because no rest was seen under
that answer. Before, the head showed after 800 ms there. Telling that
case apart from a status lag needs the same evidence, and the issue asks
for evidence, not expiry.
Reference app: the Codex app. Its working state belongs to the turn in
progress, and a finished turn never shows one. The DESIGN.md work block
entry now describes the rest-then-work rule.
Only `idle` and `done` count as a rest: `blocked` (waiting on the user)
or `unknown` says nothing about the status catching up with the answer.
Also changed: `scripts/chat-working-line-demo-regression.ts` gains both
cases from the issue (answers that share a `ts`, and an answer drawn 1.5
s before the pane rests) and an answer drawn while the pane was
`blocked`, then `working` for 1.5 s. `docs/development.md` describes
them. Changelog fragment: `changelog.d/chat-working-head-status-lag.md`.
## Validation
- Red on `main` (0e92eac), green with this PR:
- `bun scripts/chat-working-line-demo-regression.ts` on `main` fails at
"no Working head stands under a turn read in already finished, after the
last one's wait ran out" (`[["Working…"]]`), which is case 2.
- With that assertion turned into a log, the new case 1 check fails on
`main` at "no Working head stands under an answer while a status lag
outlasts the wait" (`Working…`).
- With this PR, all 6 checks pass, in 3 of 3 runs (the blocked case
failed on the first head, 783c30b, before the second commit).
- `bun run check run --build bun scripts/chat-browser-qa.ts`: passes.
- `bun scripts/chat-fallback-browser-qa.ts`: passes.
- `bun test src/lib/workBlocks.test.ts scripts/conventions.test.ts
src/conventions.test.ts scripts/changelog-fold.test.ts`: 83 pass.
- `bun run typecheck`: clean.
- `bun run check fast`: green at the head (unit: 11043 pass, 0 fail, 43
skip; typecheck, build, generated types/themes, workflow syntax ok).
- Not run: `bun run check full`, native Windows/Mac checks (no
platform-specific code).
…he greeting through /clear (#2742)
## Change
Fixes#2550. Parts 1 and 2 of the issue were fixed by #2551. This PR
fixes the two parts left open:
**3. "Working…" goes about 1 s before Claude's answer.** For Claude
Code, the chat's activity is herdr's status, and herdr can rest before a
conversation read holds the answer. `src/components/ChatView.tsx`: on a
`working` → `idle`/`done` edge for a Claude transcript (no native
activity), when the last turn shown did not end on its final answer, the
chat keeps the turn at work until a read changes the page it shows, for
up to 2 s (`ANSWER_READ_WAIT_MS`). The edge is seen in a layout effect,
so no frame paints the turn as ended with no answer. An unchanged read
(a 304, or the same signature) keeps the same page, so the hold lasts
until the answer comes, as in the issue's live run (an unchanged read,
then the answer 1 s later). The hold is display only, and the composer's
Stop button still follows herdr's own status: holding Stop would send an
interrupt to an agent at rest.
**4. `/clear` in an empty Claude chat flashes "Conversation
unavailable".** Two changes:
- `server/conversation.ts` (`onNotStarted`): a Claude session with no
transcript file yet while herdr says `working` is now an empty
conversation, not the terminal fallback. Claude writes its file with the
first message (the existing comment at `claudeTranscriptPath`), so
`working` with no file means no turn is in it yet. `blocked`, and every
other agent at work on a first turn, keep the terminal fallback.
- `src/lib/greeting.ts` (`showsGreeting`): a `working` status alone no
longer hides the greeting of a chat read blank. The read decides: a turn
begun from the terminal or another device ends the greeting once a read
holds it (for other agents, the read during their first turn falls back
to the terminal, which ends it too). A send from this browser still ends
it at once. `blocked` still hides it. ChatView draws no pending Working
head under the greeting.
Reference app: the Codex app keeps a turn working until its answer is
in, and never shows an empty conversation as broken. The DESIGN.md work
block entry describes the hold.
Trade-off: a Claude turn stopped from the terminal, with nothing written
after the rest, keeps "Working…" for up to 2 s after herdr rests. The
issue proposes the same cap.
## Validation
- Reproduced on `main` (9390fa1) in the demo (headless Chromium, every
painted frame recorded): part 3, "Working…" went at 597 ms and the
answer drew at 1622 ms with nothing in between. Part 4, a 400 ms
`working` status over an empty Claude chat removed the greeting and
showed a Working head, then the greeting came back.
- Red on `main`, green with this PR:
- `bun run check run bun test --timeout 15000
./server/claude-session.contract.test.ts` (isolated herdr session): the
new test "answers a session not written yet as empty while Herdr says
working" fails on `main` (`source: "scrollback"`). With this PR, 18
pass.
- `bun scripts/chat-working-line-demo-regression.ts`: 3 new checks. With
`main`'s ChatView it fails at "the turn stays at work until its answer
is drawn". With `main`'s greeting.ts it fails at "the greeting stays
through a /clear's working status". With this PR all 7 checks pass.
- `bun test src/lib/greeting.test.ts`: 38 pass (the `working` assertion
changed on purpose: a blank chat stays greeted while working, and a read
with a turn ends it).
- `bun run check fast`: green (unit: 11046 pass, 0 fail, 43 skip;
typecheck, build, generated types/themes, workflow syntax ok).
- Not run: `bun run check full`, native Windows/Mac checks (no
platform-specific code).

Change
Part of #2550: this PR fixes the Working head before a chat's first read (F19) and a finished turn shown as live again (F23). The early end of Working… (F20) and the /clear flash in an empty chat (F21) stay open in the issue.
This PR fixes parts 1 and 2 of the issue. Parts 3 ("Working…" goes before the answer) and 4 (
/clearin an empty chat) stay open. Each needs a hold across components or a change to the server's first-turn rule. The issue describes both.src/lib/workBlocks.ts(isLiveWorkTurn): while the status isworking, a turn whose last part is afinal_answertext is not live (new helperendedOnAnswer). Claude gives that phase only to anend_turnentry, and it starts a new turn after one. The other agents set it only when a turn completes. Until now, only a send from this browser (sentOver) kept the finished turn finished. Now a turn the agent starts by itself (a background task ended), or one from the terminal or another device, leaves it finished too. The check is in the shared function, so both callers inChatViewget it.blockedkeeps its old rule: a turn that waits on the user keeps its "Needs you" head.src/components/ChatView.tsx, the footer's pending "Working…" head:loaded), as the empty state already does. Until then "Loading conversation…" is the only line. The rows that come then carry the running turn's own head.workingover a turn that ended on its final answer, the head waits 800 ms (ANSWER_STATUS_LAG_MS). At a normal turn end, herdr's status trails the transcript: My test runs measured 100–400 ms between the answer row and the status change. Without the wait, a head flashes under every answer for that time. 800 ms is twice the longest lag measured. A turn the agent starts by itself still shows its head within a second, or its first row sooner (215 ms after the status in my live run).scripts/chat-fallback-browser-qa.tsandscripts/chat-browser-qa.tsmade a turn "run" with aworkingstatus over a turn that had ended on its final answer.
