Full thread cards take 78px each, so a sidebar with many active or pinned threads shows only a handful at a time.

This adds an off-by-default Compact thread list switch in Settings → General → Behavior. When it is on, active and pinned threads use a one-line, 36px row: favicon, title, and status. The PR link, Snooze, and Settle actions appear on hover or focus, and hovering the row still opens the full details tooltip. Settled and snoozed shelves are unchanged. Turning the switch off (or Restore defaults) brings back the full cards.

  • sidebarCompactThreadRows client setting in packages/contracts (decodes to false, patchable), searchable in Settings and included in Restore defaults.
  • Completed compact rows show a check and a relative completion time. SidebarCompletedTime subscribes to useNowMinute itself, so the time keeps advancing while the memoized row does not re-render. It is a plain <time> with an sr-only "Completed" prefix, not a live region, so screen readers are not re-announced every minute.
  • formatRelativeTime / formatRelativeTimeLabel take an optional nowMs so that label uses the shared minute clock.

Verification

Rebased onto current main (211618fd9) as one linear commit, which adopts #11179 (the sidebar no longer has the link-PR icon). The earlier merge commits are gone.

  • vp test run on the settings contract, desktop client settings, timestamp format, SidebarCompletedTime, the Sidebar.* logic/drag/motion/pointer/snooze suites, settings search, and settings panel logic: 11 files / 428 tests passed.
  • tsc --noEmit for apps/web and packages/contracts: passed.
  • vp lint on the touched files: no errors (only warnings that already exist in Sidebar.tsx). vp fmt --check: clean.

Web-only change. Desktop gets it through the shared web UI. Mobile has its own thread list and is out of scope.

Media

These are from an earlier head of this branch in the same disposable client fixture (full cards at 82px then, 78px on current main; Compact rows at 36px). The row layout has not changed since, but I did not re-record on the rebased head.

Before: full thread cards

After: compact rows

Follow-up #9967 (saved row layouts) was stacked on an earlier head of this branch and needs rebasing after this one. Land this PR first.

The cross-provider (GPT-6 Astra) review was skipped because Codex weekly quota was at 6–7%.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This adds a new user-facing compact layout mode that changes active and pinned production sidebar rendering and introduces supporting settings and time-display behavior. Although it is off by default and backward-compatible, the implementation spans shared production files without evident direct rendering coverage for the new mode.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4f2fd

This adds an off-by-default Compact thread-list setting while preserving the Standard layout and existing slim settled and snoozed rows. Completion labels update on the existing minute clock, and no current merge-blocking risk remains.

reviewed d4e90ed81a1d937343361715cc91a811a183ee9e. no code changes needed.

131 focused completion-clock, timestamp, settings-contract and desktop-settings tests passed. the exact head is an ancestor of #9967, and their merge preview is clean. land this before the custom-layout follow-up.

required checks are successful or skipped; github reports a clean merge into main. no fresh browser or native visual verification was performed in this review.
