feat(web): add compact thread list mode - #9417
Conversation
ApprovabilityVerdict: 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. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

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.

Adds an off-by-default "Compact thread list" setting that renders active and pinned sidebar threads as one-line rows while keeping their status, PR, snooze and settle actions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

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.

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.
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%.
