It also adds product defaults for the new layout settings, so the scope and default behavior warrant human review. Not approved because:

- Around line 73-79: Update the rename submission handler in
ThreadRowLayoutSettings to use the result of change: close the form only when
the rename is accepted, and keep it open while setting renameError when change
rejects duplicate or reserved names. Render renameError beside the input, and
clear it from the Input onChange handler as the user edits.
In `@apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx`:
- Line 1716: Update the surrounding Tooltip in the compact/custom row layout to
disable it whenever snoozeMenuOpen or sortable?.isDragging is true, matching the
existing card-row behavior and preventing tooltip rendering during snooze
popovers or dragging.

Friendly review nudge @juliusmarminge @maria-rcks — this is mergeable and hasn't had a maintainer pass yet. Independent bot/agent reviews have run with findings triaged in-commit (see receipts in earlier comments). Full queue context and status: #10688. |
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>
Adds a Thread list layout control to Settings -> General. Users pick Standard or Compact, or arrange row details into named custom layouts with up to three rows, then preview them across their real sidebar. Compact and custom rows share one renderer; Standard keeps the card. The layout picker replaces the separate compact switch, and an earlier compact preference still opens as the Compact preset.

Thread rows had two fixed shapes (the full card and, with #9417, a one-line compact row), so users couldn't choose which details a row shows or where. This adds a Thread list layout control in Settings → General (web and desktop). Pick Standard or Compact, or arrange row details into named custom layouts with up to three rows.
How it works
ClientSettingsgainssidebarThreadRowLayoutMode,sidebarThreadRowLayout,sidebarSavedThreadLayoutsandsidebarActiveThreadLayoutId. These are validated schemas that reject duplicate details, duplicate IDs, and blank names.ThreadRowLayoutrenderer in every section. The Settings preview and the real sidebar therefore can't drift apart.sidebarCompactThreadRows: truestill opens as the Compact preset. Editing a built-in creates a custom copy. Layouts support duplicate, rename (a rejected name shows an inline error), reset and delete, with keyboard and pointer editing. Preview my threads shows the layout on your actual sidebar. Every control stays disabled until settings hydrate, so a patch can't be built from defaults and overwrite saved layouts.docs/user/thread-sidebar.mdhas a short "Custom thread layouts" section.Web and desktop only. Mobile has its own native thread list and isn't affected. Client settings are per-client, so connection mode doesn't matter.

This was recorded on
8c4fbcf. It shows Compact selected (36 px sidebar rows), a Standard duplicate edited by keyboard and pointer, and the edits surviving a reload. The row renderer and editor are unchanged since then. What changed is the rebase and dropping #9417's duplicate switch. A fresh capture on this head is still pending.Coordination trace: T3 thread 9ea1927f-51fd-4673-bd8f-0d274ec59207
