Both Workspace surfaces offered "Open local folder…" and "Create a new
workspace" for one outcome. The browse occupant already carries its own
New folder affordance, so picking a directory covered creating one; the
name dialog only added a second vocabulary and a create target the
operator could neither see nor choose.
The surviving entry is named after the outcome — "Add workspace…" — and a
menu now appears only where there is something to choose between: with no
Workspace listed (the add-only sidebar header, or an empty hero list) the
anchor gesture raises the directory flow directly instead of a one-row
popover. An empty list counts as final only after the list baseline lands,
and a composition with no directory-flow occupant hides the sidebar button
rather than offering a dead one.
WorkspaceCreateFlow becomes WorkspacePickFlow (createOnly -> addOnly) and
the injected createWorkspace narrows to { path }. The host's
workspace.create({ name }) branch and `dsh web --workspace-root` lost their
last product consumer; both are marked at the call site for a follow-up.
The visual-only Delete session placeholder becomes a wired Archive
session action: no confirmation dialog (non-destructive), failures stay
console diagnostics. tree.ts hides archived sessions in every
derivation (workspace groups, Ungrouped, search, flat list) through the
sessionVisible predicate. The workspace-management e2e pins the archive
round trip across reload.
Conflict resolutions:
- `session.list`: master's projection columns fold into the PR's cancellable,
batched `listVisibleSessionSummaries`, which `session.search` shares as its
visibility baseline; master's goal helpers stay beside it.
- Client sessions face: master narrowed `ctx.sessions` to `ISessions`, so the
search verb and its protocol-constant bound are declared there and the
test-runtime double implements them (recorded, empty page unless a scenario
stubs hits).
- `WorkspaceBrowser`: master's per-row Rename wiring rides the PR's search
results view; the tree keeps the PR's query-free derivations.
- `dsh web` bin: the PR's shutdown-handlers-before-readiness order with
master's boot-time LAN address snapshot.
- `session-query-sqlite`: master's `SCHEMA_VERSION` 7 stands; the PR's bump
carried no schema change.
- Specs: master wraps assistant/steering message payloads and requires an
`application/json` carrier request, so the search fixtures and tests follow.
- Web aria goldens keep master's recording plus the PR's search placeholder;
the navigation-panes inventory keeps master's terminal-card golden next to
the PR's search-results golden.
The fixture route shares the requireSession guard, reads the accepted seq off
the appended event, and gains the error-arm spec the workspace.rename case
set as precedent; WorkspaceBrowser drops the unchanged-title block — confirming
the current automatic title IS the pin gesture — and both touched client
READMEs document the new dialog and the unary-settle rule bilingually.
ui-workspace's two trigger surfaces each declare a single-kind directory-flow
hole (conversation.hero.workspace.directoryFlow / sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow,
same owner contract) and keep only the trigger and the adoption: the Open-local-
folder entry renders while the surface's hole is occupied, and the occupant
reports one picked path per open through the hole's owner conversation
(open/busy/onPicked/onCancel/onError).
directory-picker-native becomes dual-face: its browser half fills both holes
with a renderless occupant driving host.pickDirectory, so the cordis.yml row
that mounts the backend also composes the client interaction — a mismatch is
impossible and a second flow package fails at client load.
With composition wiring both sides, the host.describe.directoryPicker
advertisement and the client's kind branching lose their last consumer:
the field, WorkspacesService.directoryPickerKind(), the DirectoryPickerKind
wire type, and the picker's per-open describe read are deleted. The connection
fixture now serves a deterministic pickDirectory path so the keyless snapshot
drives the full pick-then-adopt flow. ui-workspace's hand-rolled declaration
deferral is replaced by the deferRegistration helper it duplicated.
The browse interaction also presents a dialog (the in-app modal), so 'dialog'
failed to discriminate the two capability kinds; 'native' names where the
chooser runs. Package directory-picker-dialog -> directory-picker-native, kind
'dialog' -> 'native', with every seam/gateway/client/doc reference updated and
the seam Agent Note's naming rationale rewritten to match.
ds-review-bot round 2. The workspace UI never consulted the advertised
directoryPicker kind: under a browse (or merge-added) backend it still
rendered 'Open local folder…' and called pickDirectory(), which the host
answers with directory-picker-unavailable. The create flow now reads
directoryPickerKind() per menu open and renders the dialog affordance only
under 'dialog' — browse (until its in-app browser UI lands) and unknown
kinds hide the entry, realizing the seam's documented default; a keyless
workspace-flow snapshot pins the hidden entry over the browse fixture.
The browse backend also resolved wire paths, silently rebasing '' or
relative parents under the host process cwd; both primitives now reject
non-absolute explicit paths with their business codes, and the seam JSDoc
carries the contract.
