Feature: Archive Projects

Add project archiving to the sidebar so users can move projects out of the main list while keeping them accessible.

Context Menu

  • Right-clicking an active project shows: Archive and Delete
  • Right-clicking an archived project shows: Unarchive and Delete

Sidebar Layout

  • Active (non-archived) projects render inside SidebarContent as they do today
  • Archived projects render in a collapsible "Archived (N)" section outside SidebarContent, positioned between it and the SidebarFooter. This keeps the section pinned at the bottom of the sidebar, not scrolling with the active project list
  • A SidebarSeparator visually divides active projects from the archived section
  • The archived section uses a Collapsible with a chevron, an ArchiveIcon, and a count label — all in muted/subdued styling (text-muted-foreground/60, text-muted-foreground/40)
  • Archived projects inside the section are styled with muted text and do not show the "New thread" action button
  • The archived section is hidden entirely when there are no archived projects
  • The section is collapsed by default (local component state)

Structure

SidebarHeader
SidebarContent (scrollable, flex-1)
  └─ SidebarGroup — active projects
</SidebarContent>
<div class="shrink-0"> — archived section (pinned at bottom, non-scrolling)
  SidebarSeparator
  Collapsible "Archived (N)"
    └─ archived projects with their threads
</div>
<SidebarSeparator />
<SidebarFooter> — "+ Add project" button

State Management

  • Add archived: boolean to the Project type
  • Add a setProjectArchived(projectId, archived) pure function and store action
  • Archive state is a client-side-only concern — no server/event-sourcing changes needed
  • Persist archived project CWDs in localStorage alongside the existing expandedProjectCwds array (add archivedProjectCwds to the persisted shape)
  • On read-model sync, restore archived from the persisted set or from the existing in-memory project state

Files Changed

File Change
apps/web/src/types.ts Add archived: boolean to Project interface
apps/web/src/store.ts Add persistedArchivedProjectCwds set, update readPersistedState() / persistState(), update mapProjectsFromReadModel(), add setProjectArchived() pure function and store action
apps/web/src/store.test.ts Add archived: false to test fixture project object
apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx Filter active vs archived projects, add context menu Archive/Unarchive handling, render archived section outside SidebarContent with muted styling

    Also being able to only archive threads would be fantastic 🙏

    Is there any update on archiving whole projects?

    I see #1359 added thread archiving and closed this issue “(kinda)”, but the project-level use case still seems outstanding.

    I have several completed projects and temporary testing environments that I’d like to hide from the sidebar and project selector, while keeping their conversation history and files available. Archiving individual threads leaves the projects listed, whereas removing a project deletes its conversation history.

    Would you consider reopening this issue for a reversible Archive / Restore project option? Or is this being tracked elsewhere, or better raised as a new feature request?

    Thanks. Really enjoying T3 Code! This would make managing a growing project list much easier.
