Review catch: `promoteBtwSession` removes the btw metadata, but the
boundary instruction is persisted on every message the session sent while
it was a side conversation, and there is no API to delete a message part
after the fact. A promoted session therefore keeps reading "no sub-agents,
do not touch the workspace" out of its own history, in a session that is
no longer a side conversation.
Promotion cannot delete those lines, so it answers them instead:
`withoutBtwSessionMarker` now leaves `openchamber.btwPromoted`, and the
composer sends `BTW_PROMOTION_NOTICE` with every message in a session
carrying it — stating that the session is now the main thread and the
usual tool, sub-agent and workspace permissions are in force.
It rides with every send for the same reason the boundary does: the
instructions it revokes are re-read on every turn, so a one-shot notice
would lose its position relative to them as the conversation grows.
`btwPromoted` is additive and optional. A session that never went through
`/btw` never has it, and one promoted before this change simply keeps the
old behavior.
* feat(chat): /btw command — side questions in a temporary forked session
/btw <question> forks the current session (full context inheritance) and
opens a compact peek panel docked above the composer. The composer itself
becomes the btw input while the panel is open: sends route to the fork,
the placeholder and a mode chip reflect the target, and the stop button
aborts the fork's turn. Closing the panel (or the chip's ✕) destroys the
fork, leaving the main conversation untouched.
The panel shows only the fork's own tail (messages at/after the fork
creation time) and live permission/question cards scoped to the fork.
- chat/btw/BtwPanel: peek sheet (desktop + mobile), fork-tail view,
auto-close on disappearance, Esc to close
- lib/btw: startBtwSession (fork + rename + routed send), closeBtwPanel
(close = destroy), filterBtwTailMessages
- ChatInput: btw-mode send routing via SendMessageOptions.sessionId,
btw-aware activity (stop/abort), placeholder + mode chip
- useSessionActivity: exported for per-session activity reads
- i18n: btw keys across all 11 locales
* fix(chat): keep btw sends isolated
* refactor(chat): rework /btw into a metadata-scoped peek panel
- Link the active btw fork through the parent session's metadata
(openchamber.btwSessionID) so the panel exists only in the session that
invoked /btw, follows parent navigation, and survives reloads; the fork
carries a kind:'btw' marker with its originalSessionID.
- Replace the wall-clock history boundary with the id of the newest cloned
message (server-generated ascending ids), stored in fork metadata.
- Derive panel identity in useBtwPanelState; useBtwStore shrinks to
transient per-parent UI state (collapsed/creating/destroying).
- Panel UX: dropdown-style glass surface, chat ScrollShadow, single
title+chevron collapse toggle, muted header controls, promote action
(keep as a full session and navigate to it), Esc collapses instead of
destroying, reserved Working indicator row, streaming auto-follow via
ResizeObserver keyed on content readiness.
- Add a 'peek' chat surface mode that suppresses per-message controls and
turn footers inside the panel; user bubbles keep a small gap below.
- Hide btw forks from the sidebar, session switcher, and command palette
until promoted; mark the fork before inserting it into local stores.
- Delete/archive lifecycle: removing the fork unlinks the parent; removing
the parent also removes its temporary fork.
- patchSessionMetadata now mirrors updated sessions into live stores.
- Localize new strings across all 12 dictionaries; add unit tests for
metadata helpers, the btw flow, and the UI store.
* fix(chat): clamp the btw panel below the app header when the keyboard is open
Reuse useMobileAutocompleteMaxHeight (the composer autocomplete precedent)
on the panel's scroll body, reserving the panel header and bottom spacer
height, so the sheet adapts to the visual viewport instead of riding under
the app header on mobile.
* fix(lint): drop unused destructured bindings in sessionBtwMetadata
CI eslint has no underscore ignore pattern; strip metadata keys with typed
copies and delete instead of discard-destructuring.
