refactor(chat): complete turn-based pipeline and stabilize streaming, scroll, and tool UX (#629)

* refactor: add canonical turn projection pipeline for chat

Centralizes turn/activity/summary derivation, migrates render consumers to shared projection sources, and adds projector regression coverage for retries, malformed parent fallbacks, and activity segmentation.

* refactor: stream assistant text live in turn-first render path

* refactor: complete phase-3 turn timeline history/navigation

* refactor: complete phase-4 turn pipeline cutover

Remove legacy grouping adapters and lock key edge cases with executable regression tests so turn-centric rendering stays stable across retry/history/navigation flows.

* fix: align chat history loading path with opencode parity

* fix: stabilize chat streaming and reduce render churn

* feat: add blurIn streaming text animation and smooth lerp-based auto-scroll

Streaming markdown now uses Streamdown blurIn animation (150ms, ease-out) for per-word reveal
Auto-scroll during streaming uses continuous exponential smoothing (lerp) instead of restarting spring animations
One-shot scroll-to-bottom (button click) uses motion spring for natural deceleration

* fix: respect user scroll-up during streaming and re-pin on scroll back to bottom

* fix: stabilize activity stream and tool progress rendering

Activity now stays chronologically consistent and avoids duplicate reasoning/justification.
Tool rows show running state and duration earlier with smoother pending behavior.
Removed legacy trim/timestamp paths to prevent message drops and simplify Activity UI.

* fix: reverted regression of revert functionality

* fix: stabilize chat activity layout and tool progress behavior

Stopped user messages from re-animating when new user messages appear.
Made Activity and aggregated tool rows wrap inline consistently without misaligned headers/icons.
Fixed tool part matching so duration and shine no longer reset across pending/in-progress status updates.

* fix: restore activity mode behavior and stabilize tool rendering

Re-enabled Collapsed/Summary/Detailed/Changes defaults for Activity and tool expansion.
Fixed tool row wrapping/alignment, removed user fade re-animations, and disabled FadeInOnReveal animations.
Improved tool status handling to reduce timer/shine resets and made reasoning bold render as normal text.

* refactor: simplify chat tool and message rendering

Replace activity-group rendering with flat inline part rendering
Remove obsolete tool output and justification activity settings
Keep user message animation and improve edit/apply-patch file path headers

* style: narrow chat and composer columns equally

* fix: Tool status checks and abort flow regression

* fix: improve multi-file apply patch header rendering

* fix: make timeline message jump scroll to selected chat entry

Conversation Timeline clicks now reliably scroll to the selected message in chat
Timeline dialog waits for navigation result before closing to avoid silent failures
Chat message scrolling now resolves the active chat scroller consistently

* chore: remove branch-added chat tests and clean lint leftovers

Removes newly added chat and message test files from this branch
Fixes lint blockers in ProgressiveGroup, ToolPart, and messageStore
Keeps type-check, lint, and build passing after cleanup

* fix: keep composer status row closest to the input

Status/todo row now renders below queued messages and attachments.
Linked GitHub issue/PR chips stay above status so input context order is consistent.
Improves chat composer readability while assistant is working.

* fix: disable assistant header animations and polish chat status behavior

Assistant message header now renders without transition effects
Removed a lint issue from the working placeholder props
Chat status and message flow updates improve consistency during active turns

* feat: increase bottom spacer in mobile chat for better scrolling

* feat: add sorted chat mode with progressive activity rendering

Adds global chat render mode settings for sorted and live behavior
Renders non-stop assistant output in Activity as messages complete
Disables streaming text animation in sorted mode and restores classic reasoning/justification blocks

* fix: stabilize chat timeline navigation and older history loading

Prevents auto-loading older history from scroll and keeps loading behind the button
Fixes timeline jump-to-message behavior that snapped back to the bottom
Reduces chat list flicker and empty-state glitches on large session pagination

* fix: stabilize sorted activity text and hide reasoning timers

Prevented sorted justification from appearing before message completion by requiring explicit non-stop finish.
Removed duration values for sorted Thinking and Justification blocks.
Kept smooth sorted auto-follow behavior tuned to reduce bottom-jump jitter.

* refactor: simplify chat tool rendering paths and add parts docs

Centralized tool icon mapping into a shared presentation helper used by grouped and expandable rows.
Removed static-tool-specific branches from ToolPart to keep it focused on expandable tools.
Added a new DOCUMENTATION.md explaining where to change tool descriptions and rendering behavior.

* feat: enhance event stream handling for message parts

- Refactor event key building functions to improve clarity and reduce redundancy.
- Introduce `applyPartDelta` method in message store for handling delta updates to message parts.
- Update `useEventStream` to utilize the new `applyPartDelta` method for processing incoming deltas.
- Enhance text extraction logic to accommodate new part types and improve merging behavior.
- Implement logic to skip delta-driven updates for ongoing text/reasoning parts to prevent overwriting.
- Adjust server-side text merging logic to handle trimmed text comparisons and improve consistency.

* feat: enhance OpencodeService with delta handling and stale delta management

- Introduced globalSseStaleDeltas to track stale deltas.
- Added methods to generate keys for delta and updated part events.
- Updated global SSE loop to skip processing stale deltas.
- Refactored global SSE event handling to improve performance and reliability.

refactor: remove unused streaming part handling in messageStore

- Eliminated streaming part queue and associated logic.
- Simplified message merging logic by removing redundant checks.
- Streamlined message handling to improve clarity and maintainability.

chore: clean up unused streaming text normalization functions

- Removed deprecated functions related to streaming text identity and merging.
- Simplified normalizeStreamingTextPayload to focus on current functionality.

* refactor: simplify streaming event passthrough

Use SDK-native global event streaming in the UI client
Remove dead server-side SSE normalization helpers
Keep streaming payloads closer to upstream behavior

* revert: remove message memory settings UI

Drop the restored message memory settings screen
Keep session settings focused on current defaults
Preserve chat history limits as internal behavior

* feat: add compact collapsed Activity preview in sorted mode

Collapsed Activity now shows a live preview of the latest 7 entries
Older activity rows roll up behind a +N more indicator
The +N more indicator is clickable to expand the full Activity

* fix: adjusted activity changed files text prominence

* fix: make sorted mode snap to bottom when not streaming

* perf: show chat scrollbar only on user-driven scrolling

Chat scrollbar now stays hidden during automatic follow-to-bottom
Scrollbar visibility is gated by real user scroll intent
Reduced scroll overhead by removing timer-based intent tracking

* refactor: align web and vscode session activity streaming

Route VS Code SSE through SDK-based proxy flow
Restore controlled web session activity tracking and cooldowns
Keep chat activity behavior consistent across runtimes

* fix: adjusted muted foreground themes color

* fix: stabilize session activity and attention updates

Keep streamed chat state in sync as sessions complete
Restore reliable attention indicators for inactive sessions
Tighten server and UI event handling for chat updates

* feat: add chat render previews and file icon visibility setting

Added animated chat render mode previews in Chat settings.
Added a new toggle to show or hide file icons across tool rows.
Persisted chat render, activity, and mermaid modes to shared settings file.

* fix: update default GitHub OAuth client ID

Use the new OpenChamber org GitHub OAuth app ID by default.
Keep web server and VS Code auth defaults in sync.

* fix: sync chat settings across VS Code chat views

Broadcast settings changes to both sidebar and editor chat webviews.
Apply synced settings in each webview via shared settings refresh.
Ensures chat render mode updates appear immediately in editor tabs.

* fix: stop writing session folders file in VS Code workspaces

Disable disk persistence for session folders in VS Code webview runtime
Keep session folder state in VS Code/webview storage instead of project files
Preserve existing behavior for non-VS Code runtimes

* style: polish expanded tool panels and bash output readability

Removed extra borders/labels in expanded tool cards for a cleaner UI
Added softer scroll shadows and full-height decorative activity line
Switched bash command/output to code-style typography with tighter spacing

* feat: add default-open tool controls for chat activity

Added Chat settings toggles to open Bash and Edit tools by default
Default-open behavior now applies across both sorted and live activity rendering
Users can still manually collapse default-open tools, plus bash output height was reduced

* fix: align chat loading skeleton with message layout

Match skeleton width and horizontal alignment to chat message column
Add one-line tool-style skeleton rows with subtle circular placeholders
Increase top spacing so loading state no longer touches chat header

* fix: prevent blank screen when adding inline diff comments

Sanitize persisted inline comment drafts to ignore invalid data
Harden diff annotations against malformed line numbers
Fail safely when annotation updates error instead of crashing the view

* fix: streamline VS Code archived sessions sidebar

Show archived sessions in VS Code only for the active workspace directory.
Render archived sessions as a flat list in VS Code without project-root subfolders.
Hide the "Open in Side Panel" session action in VS Code.

+# Chat Message Parts: Rendering Architecture
+
+This folder contains renderers for chat message parts (text, tools, reasoning, placeholders) and shared tool presentation helpers.
+
+Use this doc when you ask an agent to change tool/header/description behavior.
+
+## High-level flow
+
+- Message parts are rendered from `MessageBody.tsx`.
+- There are two tool rendering paths:
+  - **Static grouped tools** -> `StaticToolRow` in `ProgressiveGroup.tsx`
+  - **Expandable tools** -> `ToolPart.tsx`
+- Shared tool icon mapping is centralized in `toolPresentation.tsx` (`getToolIcon`).
+
+## Which file controls what
+
+- `ProgressiveGroup.tsx`
+  - Renders grouped Activity rows and grouped static tools.
+  - Contains `StaticToolRow`.
+  - Contains static tool short description logic (`getToolShortDescription`).
+  - If you want to change how `read/grep/perplexity/webfetch/...` look in compact/grouped mode, edit here.
+
+- `ToolPart.tsx`
+  - Renders expandable tool rows (bash/edit/write/question/task + fallback).
+  - Controls expandable header title/description/diff stats/timer and expanded output body.
+  - If you want to change expandable tool layout, edit here.
+
+- `toolPresentation.tsx`
+  - Shared icon mapping for tool names (`getToolIcon`).
+  - Used by both `ProgressiveGroup.tsx` and `ToolPart.tsx`.
+
+- `toolRenderUtils.ts`
+  - Core classification helpers:
+    - `isExpandableTool`
+    - `isStaticTool`
+    - `isStandaloneTool`
+    - `getStaticGroupToolName`
+  - If a tool should switch between static vs expandable, change it here.
+
+- `ReasoningPart.tsx`
+  - Thinking block UI (`ReasoningTimelineBlock`), summary + optional duration.
+
+- `JustificationBlock.tsx`
+  - Justification block wrapper over `ReasoningTimelineBlock`.
+
+## Current important behavior
+
+- `read` and most search/fetch tools are treated as **static tools** and usually render via `StaticToolRow`.
+- `bash/edit/write/question/task` are **expandable tools** and render via `ToolPart`.
+- `perplexity` is currently treated as static and grouped into search/web-search style rows (through static grouping + short description extraction).
+- Thinking/Justification duration is hidden in `sorted` mode (handled in `ReasoningPart.tsx` + `JustificationBlock.tsx`).
+
+## "I want to change description for Perplexity" (example recipe)
+
+If task is: "change text shown near Perplexity tool header/description":
+
+1. Edit `ProgressiveGroup.tsx` -> `getToolShortDescription(activity)`.
+2. Update the branch that handles web-search tools (`websearch`, `web-search`, `search_web`, `codesearch`, `perplexity`, etc.).
+3. If needed, update group rendering in `StaticToolRow` (search/fetch specific rendering branches).
+4. Keep icon changes (if any) in `toolPresentation.tsx`.
+
+Why: in current pipeline Perplexity is static/grouped, so `StaticToolRow` is the primary path.
+
+## "I want tool to become expandable" (example)
+
+1. Update `toolRenderUtils.ts`:
+   - add/remove tool name in `EXPANDABLE_TOOL_NAMES`
+2. Ensure `ToolPart.tsx` supports desired header + expanded output format for that tool.
+3. Validate both modes (`sorted` and `live`).
+
+## Safe editing checklist
+
+- Do not duplicate icon logic; keep it in `toolPresentation.tsx`.
+- For static tool copy changes, prefer `ProgressiveGroup.tsx` first.
+- For expanded output changes, edit `ToolPart.tsx`.
+- After edits run:
+  - `bun run type-check`
+  - `bun run lint`
+  - `bun run build`
+
+## Quick map of files in this folder
