Why

The console workspace layout (tabs, columns, screens) is server-persisted in the console configuration entry and pushed to every connected browser. That makes it a surface an agent can use to show the human something next to the conversation: the shell explorer, a browser session, the worker catalog. Until now the only way to do that over the bus was a hand-written read-modify-write on configuration::set.

Separately, loading the console with an explicit route landed on the persisted active tab instead. On the rig every fresh load of http://127.0.0.1:3113/#/workers ended on #/ext/shell.

What

console::workspace::*

Three functions registered next to console::status (console/src/functions/workspace.rs):

Function Input Output
console::workspace::list {} { tabs: [{ id, name?, columns, screens, active }], active_tab_id }
console::workspace::open { screen, activate? } { tab_id, column, placement, screens, activated }
console::workspace::close { screen } { tab_ids }

A screen is chat, traces, workers, or ext:<page-id>. open follows the SPA's withWorkspaceScreenOpened: stay on the active tab when it already shows the screen, else switch to the tab that does, else place it beside chat in the active tab (adjacent empty column, any empty column, new column), else open a fresh chat + screen tab. It never replaces a mounted screen and skips the config write when nothing changed. close detaches the screen everywhere and is idempotent. Errors: WORKSPACE_INVALID_SCREEN, WORKSPACE_UNAVAILABLE.

The Rust placement rules are a port of web/src/lib/workspace-tabs.ts. To keep the two from drifting, web/src/lib/workspace-open.fixtures.json is consumed by both cargo test (include_str!) and vitest; either side changing behaviour breaks the other's test.

Explicit hash wins on load

useWorkspaceTabs now exposes ready (first server answer in, value or failure). The hash-inbound and tabs-to-hash effects in App.tsx wait for it. Before this, the hash was reconciled against the localStorage copy, and the hydration flip of activeTabId to the server pointer rewrote the hash to that tab's primary screen.

Verification

  • cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -D warnings, cargo test (59 + new fixture tests).
  • pnpm typecheck, pnpm test (1464), biome clean on the changed files (the 18 pre-existing noImportantStyles hits in index.css are untouched).
  • Live on the rig with the built binary: iii trigger console::workspace::open screen=workers added a column after chat in the active tab and every connected browser updated, including a console running inside a terminal pane; open again returned placement: existing without a write; close removed the column; screen=settings returned WORKSPACE_INVALID_SCREEN; a fresh browser::sessions::start url=http://127.0.0.1:3113/#/workers stayed on #/workers.

Follow-ups (not in this PR)

  • The hash-inbound deep link still creates a single-column tab (createTab) while subscribePanelOpen and this function place beside chat; unifying that is a UX decision.
  • Gating at the hook boundary (not handing out the local copy until hydrated) would also cover keybinding and panel-open mutations during the first fetch.
  • A preview screen kind for agent-authored HTML.

Linear: MOT-4508

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds registered workspace list, open, and close functions. It validates and preserves workspace layouts during persistence. The web client tracks pending, server, and local layouts and synchronizes URL hashes after hydration.

Changes

Workspace Console

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workspace model and placement
console/src/functions/workspace.rs
Validates tab data, preserves raw entries, handles empty layouts, and updates screen placement safely.
Workspace API and persistence
console/src/configuration.rs, console/src/functions/mod.rs, console/src/functions/workspace.rs, console/Cargo.toml, console/README.md
Adds configuration access, serialized workspace writes, API registration, UUID v4 support, and API documentation.
Frontend workspace hydration
console/web/src/lib/workspace-tabs.ts, console/web/src/hooks/use-workspace-tabs.ts, console/web/src/App.tsx
Replaces the readiness flag with layout-source states and gates hash synchronization during layout hydration.
Workspace behavior validation
console/src/functions/workspace.rs, console/web/src/lib/workspace-open.fixtures.json, console/web/src/lib/workspace-tabs.test.ts
Tests placement, closing, raw-entry preservation, empty layouts, and layout-source transitions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0d633

The new workspace persistence and deep-link behavior still carries unresolved risks: recovery can override an explicit URL, malformed or newer layouts may be deleted, concurrent updates can overwrite each other, and screens can open in the wrong tab. These can cause incorrect navigation or loss of saved workspace layout, so merging should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

Poem

A rabbit opens tabs with care,
Then closes screens from everywhere.
Raw entries stay in line,
Hashes wait their proper time,
And layouts hydrate fair.

416-429: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The close test asserts the test's own algorithm, not the SPA behavior.

This loop reimplements screen closing: it finds the column, picks withColumnRemoved or withScreenDetached, and collects tabIds. The Rust close_screen is therefore compared against logic that lives only in the test file. If the SPA close path ever differs, the fixtures still pass.

The selection also differs from the backend. tab.screens.indexOf(f.screen) reads the raw array, while close_screen reads normalized_screens(column_count()). A tab whose columns exceeds screens.length can resolve differently on each side.

Extract the per-tab close step into an exported helper in console/web/src/lib/workspace-tabs.ts (for example withWorkspaceScreenClosed(tabs, screen)), use it in the SPA close path, and call it from this test.

♻️ Proposed test shape after extracting the helper
   for (const f of fixtures.close) {
     it(`close: ${f.name}`, () => {
-      const tabIds: string[] = []
-      const tabs = (f.tabs as WorkspaceTab[]).map((tab) => {
-        const column = tab.screens.indexOf(f.screen)
-        if (column < 0) return tab
-        tabIds.push(tab.id)
-        return tabColumns(tab) > 1
-          ? withColumnRemoved(tab, column)
-          : withScreenDetached(tab, column)
-      })
+      const { tabs, tabIds } = withWorkspaceScreenClosed(
+        f.tabs as WorkspaceTab[],
+        f.screen,
+      )
       expect({ tabIds, tabs }).toEqual(f.expect)
     })

Add shared coverage for workspace limits and migrations. The values match, but the SPA and Rust tests check them independently. A shared consistency test would catch future drift.

Inline comments:
In `@console/src/functions/workspace.rs`:
- Around line 124-136: Update parse_tabs and the load_layout/store_layout flow
to preserve raw tab values that cannot be parsed or fail is_valid_tab, including
when every tab is filtered out, while still migrating and validating tabs this
worker can modify. Keep each rejected tab’s original JSON alongside the parsed
representation and have store_layout write those untouched entries back,
preserving the module’s unmodeled-data guarantee without replacing them with
default_tabs().
- Around line 157-162: Update resolve_active to return an optional tab reference
so empty slices produce None without indexing, and order fallback selection to
match the SPA: use the pointer match when present, otherwise tabs[0], without
falling back to is_default_layout(). Update callers such as load_layout and
open_screen to handle None explicitly while preserving their existing non-empty
and new-tab behavior.
- Around line 486-500: Serialize workspace layout read-modify-write mutations
with a worker-level mutex, covering both the open flow around
load_layout/open_screen/store_layout and the close flow around
load_layout/store_layout. Acquire the same mutex for the entire operation so
concurrent in-process workspace mutations cannot interleave; preserve the
existing layout update behavior otherwise.

In `@console/web/src/hooks/use-workspace-tabs.ts`:
- Around line 83-84: Update the workspace tab state’s ready derivation to use
whether the query data is defined, rather than isFetched, so rejected initial
fetches do not mark it ready. Preserve the existing available behavior, and add
a regression test covering an initially rejected fetch followed by a successful
refetch, ensuring readiness changes when data arrives and dependent hash
handling can rerun.
