Titles become text-sm font-semibold in destructive red — JetBrains Mono
via the UI default, matching the abort-turn/dismiss-question dialogs the
owner named as the ideal look. Node and session names below the title
drop the sized-up text-lg for normal text-sm, still white mono, no
code-block chrome. Settings and Setup keep their serif titles by owner
ruling; abort-turn already renders this way. 1610/1610 both configs;
verified live on the running dev server.
Owner ruling (keyboard round 2026-10-06): Esc (or any key) does ONE
action, on the topmost active layer. The plan-open-while-dictating
double-act was the symptom: the plan popup listened at WINDOW level
with no claim, and same-node window listeners all fire — the global
chain (registered first) cancelled the dictation while the plan's own
listener closed the plan. One Esc, two actions.
The law (now the house pattern, documented at the chain):
- field-level handlers claim at their element (focus in a field: the
field's action) — unchanged, already correct
- every SURFACED layer claims at the DOCUMENT level with preventDefault
+ stopPropagation — document fires before the window chain, so the
chain stays silent under any surface
- the window chain is the bottom-up fallback: dictation (a live capture,
NOT a surface — it survives the Esc that closes a plan or overlay),
then abort (escAbortTarget layers its own targets)
Converted to the claim: plan popup, session overlay, chain table,
settings dialog, setup dialog, the delete/abort dialogs (window-level
stopPropagation was never enough — same-node listeners all fire), and
the stats popover. Popovers (popover-dismiss), menus, model picker, and
the sidebar context menu already claimed correctly.
1427 tests, tsc, lint, build green.
Owner polish round (2026-09-24): the two destructive-confirmation
surfaces must read as ONE design. The node dialog was the good one —
the session dialog now wears its exact look and flow.
components/delete-session-dialog.tsx (full rework):
- Red serif "Delete session?" (was neutral "Delete "title"?") — the
node dialog's destructive title, text-destructive on font-title 2xl.
- The session name below the title in JetBrains Mono at text-lg,
NO code-block chrome — the font already says code. (The node
dialog's name got the same treatment: text-xs bg-muted code block
dies, mono text-lg line lives. Owner chose below-the-title over
parens-in-the-title: long titles wrap safely below, never inside
the 25px headline.)
- TWO OPTION BUTTONS -> CHECKBOX FLOW: the locked two-button design
(preserve-graph / delete-nodes) collapses to ONE unchecked-by-default
checkbox "Also remove its graph traces" (accent-primary, the settings
panel's native-checkbox idiom) carrying the graph-touching option's
consequence copy verbatim. Unchecked = preserve-graph; checked =
delete-nodes. The unchecked promise ("everything it added to the
graph stays unless you check below") lives in the intro line now.
- Bottom row = the node dialog's exact pair: quiet Cancel + destructive
red Delete (border + text, fill on hover), "Deleting…" on the Delete
button while busy. Try-again re-derives the mode from the checkbox
(retry IS Delete pressed again; the checkbox is disabled while busy).
- DeleteSessionBody exported pure (the settings/node dialog body
pattern) for SSR pins; TRACES_COPY exported for the copy pin.
DELETE_OPTIONS dies with the two-button design.
Tests: session-context.test.tsx's two-option pins rewritten for the
node-dialog shape (red title, mono name no-chrome, unchecked checkbox
default, red Delete pair, old testids absent); delete-node-dialog
pins the chrome-less text-lg name. 905/905. Live-verified on :3001:
both dialogs render 25px red serif titles, 16px mono names, matching
red Delete buttons; Esc closes both, nothing deleted in verification.
- Right-click any session row: MenuShell context menu, exactly two actions
(owner ruling): Rename and Delete… — MenuShell discipline (placement,
focus, arrow cycling, lh:menu-open announcements), agent-section's
outside-click/Esc contract with [data-lh-menu] carve-outs.
- Rename is INLINE in the row (owner ruling): select-all entry, Enter/blur
commits through the existing plumbing — PUT /api/chats/:id then
lh:chat-renamed. The open chat header now LISTENS for the event too, so
renaming the active session from the sidebar updates the header in place
(it only dispatched before).
- Delete opens the two-option dialog (locked design, DELETE_OPTIONS pure
seam for render pins): "Delete the session only" (preserve-graph — the
graph keeps every contribution) vs "Also remove its graph traces"
(delete-nodes — shared topics survive, only-this-session topics die).
409 turn_in_flight/jobs_running and 503 extraction_winding_down render
the server's line verbatim with a same-mode Try-again.
- Success: the sidebar patches its snapshot instantly, the active session
navigates home (chat unmounts — drafts die with it), and lh:graph-revision
announces the returned revision — the graph view refetches the snapshot
AND costs (deletion is the one writer the status poll can't see).
- ChatDeleteMode type re-exported through the core barrel (the shell's one
needed seam from core/graph-deletion.ts).
Gates: tsc clean, 909/909, lint 0, build ok. Live-verified on :3001:
context menu open/Esc, inline rename (row + API + active header), both
delete modes on scratch sessions, simulated 409 + retry-then-succeed,
active-session navigation home, graph+costs refetch deltas on home.
