feat(chat): support conversations without a project - #11465
maria-rcks wants to merge 32 commits into
Conversation
ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This XXL change introduces projectless conversations with new managed-project startup behavior, per-thread workspaces, provider routing, and cross-platform UI/state changes. An unresolved High-severity issue also indicates that retained terminal or panel surfaces may still run against a prior project cwd from a chat draft. Not approved because:

🟠 High components/ChatView.tsx:9219
The terminal.toggle and rightPanel.toggle shortcuts can reopen existing project-rooted surfaces in a Chat draft, so commands continue running in the prior project's cwd even though these controls are marked unavailable. Retargeting via DraftProjectPicker.selectProject preserves the draft ID and existing terminal/panel state, while the handlers at ChatView.tsx:6777-6787 invoke the toggles without checking isChat/isServerThread; gate those handlers with the same availability predicate or clear the incompatible state when retargeting.

Note
Written by gpt-6-astra on behalf of Maria
Confirmed the existing terminal/panel toggles do not use the header availability guard when reopening retained surfaces. This predates the current selector-placement change; this pass only moves the control into a stable row and preserves its existing actions. Deferring the shortcut/state issue to a separate behavioral fix rather than expanding the requested layout iteration. It remains a known limitation and should be addressed before merging the broader projectless-chat feature.

Thanks for confirming. Would you like me to prepare the separate behavioral fix PR against main?
conversations can run without choosing a repository. choose chats from new thread, or remove the project chip from a draft. each chat runs in its own server-managed directory under
<t3-home>/chat/<thread-id>. selecting a project restores project controls. web, desktop's shared web ui, and mobile use the same protocol.resolved current-main conflicts at
2cf55b51114172fdb201561c756372a4f7e1dbe1, preserving android material controls, main's diff panel behavior, and ordered provider diff ingestion.the draft picker sits in a fixed-size row above the composer, with a centered heading that stays the same in chat and project modes. selecting or removing a project keeps the heading and composer in place.
verification:
4a129a2000.before: main required a project. the baseline uses a separate environment, so sidebar history differs.
after current-main conflict resolution: real codex chat and follow-up, with project controls omitted.
current project/chat switching was exercised and recorded; the uploaded video plays through.
source review by two independent gpt-6-astra agents. authored and verified with gpt-6-astra through codex.
before: the selector was embedded in the heading.
after: fixed selector row above the composer.
project/chat switching preserves heading and composer bounds at 1280px and 390px; long names truncate.
