Change

The one-row workspace roster stays, but a workspace with more than one pane can now be unfolded in the sidebar.

• The workspace row shows its pane count. Activating it lists every pane, including split panes, with the agent mark and state.
• Choosing a listed pane opens it directly. This works in the phone drawer as well as on desktop, without first opening the workspace and then finding its tab.
• The selected pane's workspace unfolds automatically. The choice otherwise lasts for the open page, and the existing tab strip remains available.
• A workspace with one pane is unchanged and still has no fold control.

Validation

• bun run typecheck: pass.
• bun run build: pass.
• HERDR_TEST_MODE=unit bun test ./src/lib/i18n.test.ts: 14 pass.
• bun scripts/directory-groups-regression.ts: 7 pass, including unfolding the split pane, selecting it from the tab picker, and checking the representative row at 1280, 768, and 375 px.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Workspaces with multiple panes now show a pane count and can expand to display each pane’s title, agent or shell, and status.
  • Select a pane directly from the workspace sidebar; the selected pane is highlighted, and its workspace expands automatically.
  • The tab strip remains available when viewing workspace panes.

Walkthrough

The sidebar now shows a pane-count toggle for multi-pane workspaces. Users can expand the list, view pane details, and select a pane directly. The selected pane’s workspace expands automatically.

The pane list remains selectable, but a collapsed workspace may reopen after a status update, and folder-grouped lists can have ambiguous accessibility targets. These fixes and a direct-selection test are advisable; the remaining risk is bounded.

Cover the direct sidebar pane-choice click.

Reopen the workspace pane list, click the split pane choice, and assert that both it and the .pane-row become current. This scenario selects the split pane through the tab picker instead. A regression in the sidebar choice’s click handler or pane ID can therefore pass the picker assertions.

Do not reopen a collapsed workspace on snapshot updates.

When the selected pane belongs to a workspace with multiple panes, this effect expands the workspace. A changed pane-status event creates a new snapshot, so the effect can run again and reopen a workspace the user collapsed. Track the pane that triggered the last auto-expansion. Set the ref only when the pane count exceeds one so a later one-to-multiple transition still expands the workspace.

Suggested fix

+  const expandedFor = useRef<string | null>(null);
   useEffect(() => {
     const pane = selectedPaneId ? snapshot?.panes.find((pane) => pane.pane_id === selectedPaneId) : undefined;
     if (!pane) return;
     lastViewed.current.set(pane.workspace_id, pane.pane_id);
     const count = snapshot?.panes.filter((candidate) => candidate.workspace_id === pane.workspace_id).length ?? 0;
-    if (count > 1) setExpandedWorkspaces((current) => current.has(pane.workspace_id) ? current : new Set([...current, pane.workspace_id]));
+    if (count > 1 && expandedFor.current !== pane.pane_id) {
+      expandedFor.current = pane.pane_id;
+      setExpandedWorkspaces((current) => current.has(pane.workspace_id) ? current : new Set([...current, pane.workspace_id]));
+    }
   }, [selectedPaneId, snapshot]);

Include the folder scope in both pane-list IDs and controls.

When a workspace has multiple panes in each of two open folder groups, expanding either copy can render both pane lists. Both currently use the workspace ID alone, so their IDs collide and each aria-controls value has multiple targets.

Suggested fix

-aria-controls={`workspace-panes-${workspace.workspace_id}`}
+aria-controls={`workspace-panes-${scope}-${workspace.workspace_id}`}
...
-<ul className="workspace-pane-list" id={`workspace-panes-${workspace.workspace_id}`} aria-label={t("Panes in {workspace}", { workspace: workspace.label })}>
+<ul className="workspace-pane-list" id={`workspace-panes-${scope}-${workspace.workspace_id}`} aria-label={t("Panes in {workspace}", { workspace: workspace.label })}>

Thank you for this. Since it was opened, v0.4.0 reworked the sidebar in #521 (#521): a separate Agents list now shows every agent pane, split panes included, with its mark and state, and opens it directly on a phone as well as on a desktop. That is the direct pane access this PR set out to add, and the sidebar now leaves the rest of tab and pane navigation to the tab strip and the palette. The script this PR extends, scripts/directory-groups-regression.ts, was also removed with the By folder view in #556, so I am closing this instead of asking for a rebase. A shell pane without an agent has no row in Agents; if you need that, an issue describing the case would be welcome.
