Transcript: a reply's buttons come first at the prose edge, its time on hover; the last reply's show at rest by teamleaderleo · Pull Request #31609 · manaflow-ai/cmux

Leo, 2026-11-02 00:28Z: "this should not be placed in front of the copy/whatever buttons. those buttons should always just be there left aligned"

Leo, 2026-11-02 00:29Z: "i should be able to see the copy buttons on your responses when your things end"

Leo, 2026-11-02 00:35Z: "compared to claude code our bottom thing looks bad is sized bad all around spaced bad + the useless text at the front + didn't i always say we can do it like chatgpt / i assume the x previous messages are when there's a mix and the worked for is if it's one contiguous thing. notice how on hover it reveals the exact timestamp. let's follow those."

What changes

The reply footer (TurnRows.tsx TurnFooter, MessageActions.tsx ReplyActions) now follows ChatGPT's row:

The buttons come first, at the prose's left edge. "Worked for 13s · ↓ 359 out ↑ 328.8K in" is gone from the row. It is now the time's tooltip, so the numbers can still be read. The first glyph's ink sits exactly on col-left (design/grid.md 5.5). It used to sit 6px left, because the row's inset-inline overhang and the first button's margin both pulled it left. The row now starts on the column and overhangs only at its end.
The time comes after the buttons, hidden at rest, shown on hover. It is ChatGPT's exact time ("Oct 18, 5:41 AM", with the year only when it isn't this year) instead of "3 minutes ago". It keeps its space, so nothing moves.
The finished chat's last reply shows its buttons at rest. Agent chat: the last answer's Copy row shows once the turn ends #31503 landed that on base while this PR was open, and this PR now relies on its acpmux-row--final-footer and tests it. Earlier footers still show on hover.

Regressing PR: #30176 (e9f2496, "a finished Claude turn folds per run"). It set folded = false for Claude turns, so turns.ts footerSays() became true for every Claude turn, and TurnFooter drew the "Worked for · tokens" label ahead of the buttons on every Claude reply. The label was added in #16612 and its tokens in #24259; before #30176 it only showed for turns that had no fold. #31505 (merged while this PR was open) moved the label after the buttons. This PR takes it out of the row and puts it in the time's tooltip, as the ChatGPT reference does, and updates #31505's test to match.

Not in this PR. These follow separately:

ChatGPT's sizing and vertical rhythm (a 20px glyph in a 32px button, 8 above and 24 below). It changes the row-height model and lands together with the transcript-spacing lane's table.
The "Worked for >" / "N previous messages >" header with a hairline rule, for Codex turns. Claude turns keep Transcript: a finished Claude turn folds per run, as Claude desktop does (Codex unchanged) #30176's per-run folding, per Leo's 11-01 "claude gets claude behaviour, codex gets codex".

Tool-row spacing and the composer are untouched.

Tests (red at base, green at head)

webviews/test/reply-footer.test.ts (new, Chromium, light and dark):
- In every footer the first child is the button group, and the first glyph's ink is 0px from the prose edge, both for a footer with time and tokens and for one without. The time sits after the last button.
- In a finished chat, the last reply's buttons have opacity 1 with no pointer and its time has opacity 0. On hover the time is 1 and the buttons don't move. Earlier footers stay hidden.
- At base: 4 of 4 fail (ink at -6px, the label first, the last footer hidden).
webviews/test/transcript-row-alignment.test.ts: the "footer label" lead is removed, since footers have no label now. With base red: transcript status-row gaps and the empty footer on the grid #31475's test changes merged in, it passes at this head. At base it fails with footer actions "first glyph" starts at -6px and footer label "Worked for 5s" starts at 52px.
TurnFooter.test.tsx: the label is in the time's title and not in the row. A footer whose only content was its label is now empty.
Typecheck, check:design-tokens, vp fmt --check and vp lint pass (cmux-ci 32-vCPU Linux).

Gallery: agent-pane.transcript-row-alignment gets finished (rest) and finished-hover variants, and its footer variant points at the buttons. The design spec is updated in a separate leo-workspace PR (design/chat-transcript.md).

Viewed after image: yes. 2x captures of the last reply at rest and on hover, light and dark (synthetic gallery data): the copy glyph's ink lines up with the reply's first letter, nothing shows before the buttons, and "Oct 6, 9:25 AM" appears 8px after the last button only on hover.

Remaining reds are base reds: check:design-tokens (a pages/changelog baseline that can shrink), and the row-gap and footer-height assertions that #31475 updates.

Risk: low. CSS and markup in the reply footer only. A footer whose only content was "Worked for Ns" (no text to copy) now takes no line of its own, the same as one under a second.

For Leo (teamleaderleo): this PR made check:popup-hover-reveals red on feat-cmux-next (conversation.css:3828). The two new .cv-turn-time hover reveals have no :has([data-popup-open]) twin, so the time hides while a menu from that reply is open. Fix: #31640 (reviewed SHIP, ready-to-land). Found by agent tip-fix-0200.

Review (codex gpt-6.1-sol high, sweep, via the review router; full diff from merge base 6b63875 to this head): SHIP at 7ff48d4

[P2] [follow-up] webviews/src/agent-session/acpmux/conversation/turns.ts:109 - Summaries with no answer text but metadata such as “previous messages,” tool counts, or duration are now classified as empty. On a final footer, .cv-turn-actions--empty is hidden, so the only content carrying that metadata is removed and users lose the context entirely. Preserve metadata-only labels in the final footer or keep their tooltip-bearing element rendered.

…1609) (#31640) #31609 (de9d3bb) shows a reply's time on :hover of .acpmux-turnSummary and .acpmux-assistant, without the :has([data-popup-open]) twin that every hover reveal has, so check:popup-hover-reveals is red on every webviews push. When the pointer goes from the reply into its menu, the time hid while the buttons stayed. Both selectors now match an open popup too, as .cv-turn-actions already does. check:popup-hover-reveals: red at origin/feat-cmux-next 8e630df (2 lines, conversation.css:3828), green here.

…r gaps, sent rows, reply time) (#32269) * base red: gallery plays wait for what the transcript draws now - gutter-select gap pairs: the drag starts on the upper row's gap target. Since #27580 rows have no bottom padding (the stack places the gap under the row), so the old start point (row bottom - padding/2) landed on the row's content and selected nothing. - sent-message-rows: a turn's run of sends folds into one "Sent N messages" line (#31398); the plays open it after "Worked for". - transcript#agent-messages: opens the message-run line (#31398), then the shell call. - transcript#grid-rhythm-hover: a reply mid-turn draws no action row since #29740 (Copy once per turn); the play hovers the reply and checks none is drawn. - user-bubble#answer-time-tooltip: since #31609 a reply's time is its exact time at the row's end, shown on hover, and its tooltip is the turn's time and tokens; the play waits for the time to show instead of a tooltip with a year.
