The rename pencil shipped next to the delete X, and the tree recipe hides a row action with opacity: 0 — which stops it painting but not holding its width. With one action that cost 26 px and nobody noticed; with two it became a 52 px dead column down the whole conversation list.

Measured in the running console, 204 px rows:

visible title gap after the clock
before 71 px 64 px
after 123 px 12 px (the row's own padding)

What changed

The recipe's own comment read "The row action (remove, pin)" — singular. It was only ever built for one action, so:

  • Actions travel as a cluster, treeItemActions. Where hover reveals them the cluster leaves the flow and anchors to the row's trailing edge, so no number of actions costs the label width at rest and nothing reflows on entering a row.
  • Everything quiet on the trailing edge — the timestamp and the status dot — fades out under the cluster instead of showing between the icons.
  • Renaming is a desktop affordance that pairs with double-click and F2, so its pencil carries data-pointer="fine"; coarse pointers drop it and touch rows keep the single trailing action the recipe sizes for.

.iii-ui-tree-item was already position: relative, so no structural change. No component API, aria-label or prop changed.

One thing worth knowing

The pencil is hidden by the recipe, not by a Tailwind pointer-coarse:hidden. index.css does @import "tailwindcss" (utilities land in @layer utilities) and then imports ui-recipes.css unlayered — and unlayered CSS beats any layer. So a utility that fights a recipe's display silently loses. The first attempt here did exactly that and rendered the pencil on touch anyway. Noted in the design-system doc for the next person.

Verification

  • tsc -b --noEmit clean; biome check clean on every touched file.
  • Full ade/web suite: 2288 passing. Three failures remain in icon-size-conformance and selection-conformance, pointing at FileMentionNode.tsx, browser/ui/src/page/SessionView.tsx, TabStrip.tsx and browser/ui/styles.css — none touched here. Confirmed pre-existing by re-running them with this branch's changes reverted.
  • Two new guards: the markup keeps both actions inside the cluster, and the recipe keeps the cluster out of flow under hover: hover.
  • Checked against the running console (201 conversations) on desktop at rest and on hover, and under touch emulation (pointer: coarse, hover: none), where the pencil computes to display: none / 0×0 and the X keeps its 48 px target.

e2e/conversation-rename.spec.ts was not run — it needs the harness stack up.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Grouped navigation-row actions into a trailing cluster shown on hover or focus.
    • Kept row labels and metadata readable while displaying available actions.
    • Added larger delete targets for touch devices.
    • Hid the rename action on touch devices where mouse-specific interactions are unavailable.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for configuring tree-row actions and avoiding conflicting style overrides.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for desktop and touch-device row-action behavior.

The rename pencil shipped next to the delete X, and the tree recipe hides
a row action with `opacity: 0` — which stops it painting but not holding
its width. With one action that cost 26 px nobody noticed; with two it
became a 52 px dead column down the whole conversation list, measured at
71 px of visible title per row against 123 px now.

The recipe's own comment said "The row action (remove, pin)", singular:
it was only ever built for one. So actions now travel as a cluster,
`treeItemActions`, and where hover reveals them the cluster leaves the
flow and anchors to the row's trailing edge. Nothing reflows on entering
a row, and a row can gain an action without narrowing every label.

Everything quiet on the trailing edge — the timestamp and the status dot
— fades out under the cluster rather than showing between the icons.

Renaming is a desktop affordance that pairs with double-click and F2, so
its pencil carries `data-pointer="fine"` and coarse pointers drop it,
leaving touch rows the single trailing action the recipe sizes for. The
hiding lives in the recipe, not a Tailwind `pointer-coarse:hidden`:
utilities are layered and these recipes are imported unlayered, so a
recipe's `display` beats any utility.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Tree row actions now use a shared action cluster. Rename actions require fine pointers, while delete actions remain available to coarse pointers. CSS controls hover, focus, trailing content, and action visibility.

Changes

Tree row actions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Action cluster contract and documentation
packages/console-ui/ui-classes.mjs, packages/console-ui/ui-classes.d.mts, ade/skills/design-system.md

Row action wiring and styling
ade/web/src/components/sidebar/ConversationRow.tsx, ade/web/src/styles/ui-recipes.css
Wraps rename and delete actions in the cluster. Hides fine-pointer actions on coarse pointers and applies hover, focus, and trailing-content transitions.

A rabbit sees the actions align,
Rename waits for pointers fine.
Delete stays broad for paws that tap,
Hover brings the buttons back in a snap.
The tree rows now keep their shape,
While hidden actions leave no gap.

# Conflicts:

The spec ran its rename-focus journey twice, once with `hasTouch`, and the
touch half tapped the pencil — the affordance that just became desktop-only.
It failed on exactly the right thing, so the assertion follows the decision:
the touch case now checks the pencil is gone from the row and delete is
still reachable, and the focus journey stays a desktop test.

Comment thread ade/skills/design-system.md Outdated
Comment thread ade/web/e2e/conversation-rename.spec.ts
An unlayered recipe outranks a normal utility at any specificity, but not
an `!important` one — important declarations invert the layer order. Say
"normal utility" and name the exception, without softening the advice:
the rule still belongs in the recipe, keyed by a data attribute.
Floating the cluster kept the list clean at rest but put the icons on top
of the title: the cluster is 46px and the metadata it covers is about 28,
so the remaining ~18 landed on the text.

The three properties cannot hold at once — no gutter at rest, no shift on
hover, no overlap — unless the actions are no wider than the metadata they
replace. The gutter at rest was the defect this branch exists to fix, so
the shift is what gives: hovering hands the cluster back to the flow and
lifts the quiet metadata out of it in place, so the actions sit beside the
label and only the truncation point moves. Measured on a 204px row, the
label-to-icon clearance goes from -25px (overlapping) to +8px.

🟡 Minor · Exercise touch delete and assert removal. · conversation-rename.spec.ts:85-115

ade/web/e2e/conversation-rename.spec.ts:85-115
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Exercise touch delete and assert removal. The test only checks that the delete button is visible. ConversationRow routes that button to onRemove(), which removes the conversation from visible state. A regression in touch activation or removal can therefore pass. Tap delete and assert that the conversation row is removed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the coarse-pointer delete action visible. When (pointer: coarse) and (hover: hover) both match, the delete button in ConversationRow is not hidden by data-pointer="fine", but it keeps the base opacity: 0. The (hover: none) override does not apply, so the action is invisible until the row is hovered or focused. Expose non-fine actions in the coarse-pointer rule so touch users can see the delete affordance at rest.

The touch row check asserted the delete button was visible, which a
regression in the new actions cluster could survive. Assert it is enabled
and still a 44px-plus target, so the wrapper cannot quietly shrink the one
action a finger has left.

Stops short of tapping delete and asserting removal: `remove` calls
`deleteSession`, and `finish` tears the stack down, so that assertion
either destroys the session the harness result depends on or runs against
a dead backend — and it covers delete behaviour this branch never touched.
