Part of the ChatView split so the React Compiler can compile it.

Problem. Opening a terminal was written out five times: the drawer's split/new buttons, the drawer toggle, script runs, and the right panel's add/split. Closing was written out three times. Every copy built the open input, allocated an id and set up the runtime env by hand. The panel close copy had no exit fallback.

Fix. New useThreadTerminalActions(threadRef) in components/terminal/ owns:

  • id allocation from every client-side id source
  • the default cwd and runtime env
  • close with the exit fallback

Each caller now only passes a place(terminalId) callback that records the id in its own store.

Behavior change: closing a right-panel terminal now falls back to typing exit when the close command fails, like the drawer already did.

ChatView loses 148 lines net; PersistentThreadTerminals.tsx loses ~150.

Measured with the native React Compiler (oxc-transform-react) on each layer's ChatView.tsx. "Crashes" means it hit an internal codegen error and left ChatView uncompiled; "skips" means it reported reasons it could not compile it. Strict files must compile with no bailouts, no manual memoization and no effect-rule violations; lint and reactCompiledFiles.test.ts enforce it.

🟠 High components/ChatView.tsx:4097

If the user switches from thread A to B while launched.result is pending, the script command is written to B’s terminal session using A’s targetTerminalId; a matching ID in B can execute the command in the wrong workspace. writeToTerminal uses the latest thread context, so preserve the thread reference used to launch the terminal when writing.

apps/web/src/components/terminal/useThreadTerminalActions.ts:160

writeToTerminal is exported through useStableCallback, so it resolves threadRef from the latest render rather than the thread whose terminal was opened. ChatView.runProjectScript awaits launched.result before calling this method. If the user navigates from server thread A to B during that await, ThreadRouteView reuses the unkeyed ChatView instance, and the script command is sent to B with A's terminal ID. IDs such as term-1 are reused per thread; the server's terminal/Manager.ts write implementation looks up precisely the supplied thread/terminal pair and writes the bytes. Consequently a script can execute in another project's existing shell (or fail instead of running in A). Preserve the launch's scoped target for the subsequent write rather than using the latest thread.

After confirming a close requested for thread A, the code can close the matching terminal in thread B while removing A’s terminal from the drawer. The confirmed callback retains A’s activeThreadRef for storeCloseTerminal, but terminalActions.closeTerminalSession resolves the latest thread and closes it with deleteHistory: true; bind both operations to the thread whose terminal was confirmed.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This PR introduces a shared production hook that changes terminal lifecycle, ID allocation, environment construction, and asynchronous thread-scoped operations across multiple UI surfaces. Its scope is broader than a mechanical refactor, and unresolved High-severity findings describe risks around commands or closes targeting a newly selected thread.

Needs human approval because:

📝 Walkthrough

Terminal launch, close, and write operations now use a shared hook. The persistent terminal drawer and ChatView delegate these operations to the hook while retaining UI placement and focus updates in their existing flows.

Changes: Thread terminal actions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared terminal action API
apps/web/src/components/terminal/useThreadTerminalActions.ts
Adds terminal ID allocation, authorization checks, and shared launch, close, and write actions. Launch accepts a working directory, optional worktree path, optional environment overrides, and optional dimensions.
Persistent drawer integration
apps/web/src/components/PersistentThreadTerminals.tsx
Uses shared actions to launch and close terminals. Placement and focus update after a successful launch; closure removes the terminal from UI state.
ChatView integration
apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx
Uses shared actions for drawer and panel terminals, project scripts, and terminal cleanup. Script execution passes its working directory and optional environment overrides to the launch action.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Refactor

Suggested reviewers: t3dotgg

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 02e6f

Switching threads while confirming a terminal close can close the wrong session or leave one running. Preserve the target thread in the close action; the risk is narrow but worth fixing before merge.

Preserve the thread reference for delayed terminal closes.

A terminal close confirmation can resolve after the user switches threads. The retained cleanup callback uses the old activeThreadRef, but terminalActions.closeTerminalSession is a stable callback that invokes the latest hook closure. The close request can therefore use the new thread and environment with the old terminal ID. The old session can remain running, or a same-ID session in the new thread can be closed.

Pass the target thread reference to the close action and use it for both the close and fallback write.

Suggested fix
-          terminalActions.closeTerminalSession(terminalId);
+          terminalActions.closeTerminalSession(terminalId, activeThreadRef);
-  const closeTerminalSession = (terminalId: string) => {
-    if (!threadRef || !canWrite()) return;
-    const environmentId = threadRef.environmentId;
-    const threadId = threadRef.threadId;
+  const closeTerminalSession = (
+    terminalId: string,
+    targetThreadRef: ScopedThreadRef | null = threadRef,
+  ) => {
+    if (
+      !targetThreadRef ||
+      !readEnvironmentScope(targetThreadRef.environmentId, AuthTerminalOperateScope)
+    )
+      return;
+    const environmentId = targetThreadRef.environmentId;
+    const threadId = targetThreadRef.threadId;

The drawer, the right panel terminal tabs, the drawer toggle and script
runs each built the terminal open input, allocated an id and handled the
close fallback on their own. useThreadTerminalActions now owns id
allocation, the default cwd and runtime env, and close-with-exit-fallback.

Panel terminal close now also falls back to typing `exit` when the close
command fails, like the drawer already did.
