Summary

Chat parity wave 2. Five of the six dispatched slices were already landed on main by #1161 earlier today; this PR carries the one remaining slice and records where each of the six stands.

  1. Fixed reading measure and hairline turn rules: shipped in feat(chat): Claude parity visual uplift #1161 (slice 3). The transcript, composer column and turn separators share --hv-measure, with 1px rules between message rows via .message-listitem + .message-listitem.
  2. Four quick-start chips under the composer: shipped in feat(chat): Claude parity visual uplift #1161 (slice 2) as hive/QuickStartChips.svelte. Chips seed the composer via setText and focus it; nothing auto-sends.
  3. Catalog purpose subtitles in the model picker: shipped in feat(chat): Claude parity visual uplift #1161 (slice 2). ModelItem.svelte renders the catalog description (the catalog summary carried additively by GET /v1/models) as a subtitle line per alias.
  4. 404 and loading states inside the app shell: 404 shipped in feat(chat): Claude parity visual uplift #1161 (slice 1) as the [...hivePath] catch-all rendering branded chrome; in-shell slow-load state is the existing sidebar-plus-spinner block in (app)/+layout.svelte. The pre-hydration splash image remains an upstream asset, unchanged here.
  5. Theme control at exactly three options: shipped in feat(chat): Claude parity visual uplift #1161 (slice 1). General settings offers System, Light and Dark only; the choice persists to localStorage and System honors prefers-color-scheme.
  6. Knowledge nav (Knowledge nav item is dead on chat-hive: click does nothing, /knowledge and /workspace/knowledge bounce home #1109), new in this PR: the row pointed at /workspace/knowledge, which sits behind the workspace layout's permission guard. That guard bounces a non-admin without the workspace.knowledge permission straight home, so the click navigated and the person landed back where they started: the row highlighted and did nothing. A new top-level /knowledge route outside that guard renders a read-only index of the caller's own bases from GET /api/v1/knowledge/ (verified-user endpoint); admins and accounts holding the workspace.knowledge permission are forwarded to the full workspace surface. Nav data, tests and hive.css styles updated together.

Verification

  • Full frontend unit suite: npx vitest run, 12 files, 119 tests passed.
  • Image build from this worktree: docker build -f deploy/docker/Dockerfile.open-webui -t hive-open-webui:parity2 . exited 0; final assertion line printed exactly: hive: shell present, removed surfaces absent.
  • Token audit: every --hv-* variable referenced by hive.css resolves to a definition in packages/hive-tokens/tokens.css; zero unresolved references.
  • Class anchors preserved: .message-listitem, chat-assistant, data-hive-nav untouched.

Test plan

  • Frontend unit tests pass
  • Image build passes with fail-loud bundle assertions
  • Token audit clean
  • Visual proof capture at merge time (orchestrator)

Known risks

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a Knowledge page accessible from the main navigation.
    • Administrators and permitted users can access full knowledge-base management.
    • Other signed-in users can view accessible knowledge bases, including descriptions and relative update times.
    • Added loading, error, and empty states for the knowledge-base list.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated navigation highlighting to correctly recognize Knowledge pages and subpages.

The sidebar's Knowledge row pointed at /workspace/knowledge, which sits
behind the workspace layout's permission guard. That guard bounces a
non-admin without the workspace.knowledge permission straight home, so on
the demo box the click navigated and the person landed back where they
started: the row highlighted and did nothing.

The new top-level /knowledge route sits outside that guard. It renders a
read-only index of the caller's own knowledge bases from
GET /api/v1/knowledge/, which needs only a verified user; admins and
accounts holding the workspace.knowledge permission are forwarded to the
full workspace surface as before.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a public /knowledge route, updates navigation and route tests, and introduces a read-only knowledge-base index with permission handling, data loading states, list rendering, and dedicated styling.

Route and navigation wiring
vendor/open-webui/src/lib/hive/nav.ts, vendor/open-webui/src/lib/hive/nav.test.ts, vendor/open-webui/src/routes/(app)/knowledge/+page.svelte
The Knowledge navigation item and active-path matching now use /knowledge. The new route renders KnowledgeIndex. Tests cover the route target, prefix matching, and active navigation state.
Knowledge index retrieval and rendering
vendor/open-webui/src/lib/hive/KnowledgeIndex.svelte, vendor/open-webui/src/lib/hive/hive.css
KnowledgeIndex forwards administrators and permitted users to management. Other signed-in users can load accessible knowledge bases and see loading, error, empty, and populated states. New styles format the index and its entries.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ed397

The new Knowledge page can omit bases after the first 30, expose backend error details, and show a misleading empty state during some network failures. These are bounded but concrete correctness and information-disclosure issues that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

…out of it

A null result from the fetch helper is a failed request, not an empty
account, so it now throws instead of rendering the empty state. Whatever
the backend put in an error detail string no longer reaches the customer:
the catch renders one translated generic message, per the provider-blind
errors rule.

Closes #944.

## What this is

D-045 rules that Cowork is a two segment control inside the chat
composer, that a run IS a conversation, and that the agent surface gets
no navigation row of its own. The shipped product still had the design
the owner rejected: an Agents destination you navigate to, a separate
form on a page the conversation cannot see, and a run that comes back
only as a row in a list. This lands the frontend half of that ruling.

## The composer becomes mode aware

A `Chat | Cowork` radiogroup sits immediately right of the plus button,
in the same rail as the model chip. It is a `radiogroup` with two
`radio` children rather than two buttons, so it announces as "Chat,
selected, 1 of 2" and moves with the arrow keys, with a roving tabindex
so Tab moves past the control rather than through it. Switching it
changes what the next message does and navigates nowhere. Nothing in the
change path touches the draft, so a half written brief survives a toggle
in either direction.

Selecting Cowork grows a second row welded to the bottom of the same
composer container, separated by a hairline rather than a gap, and drops
the voice mode button while keeping dictation.

## A run rendered as a conversation

This is the load bearing part. The run reuses the ordinary chat
machinery rather than a parallel one: the same `history`, the same
`initChatHandler` that creates the chat and puts it in the sidebar list,
the same `saveChatHandler` that persists it, and the same transcript
component that renders a chat. The chat is created before the task is
submitted, so a run takes a row in the conversation list from the moment
it is sent rather than only once it answers.

The assistant turn carries the run's state while it is queued or running
and the run's own summary once it settles, and it stores the task id, so
reopening the conversation picks a run back up. `loadChat` marks any
assistant turn left mid flight as done, which is the right recovery for
an interrupted completion and the wrong one for a run, because a run
does not stop when the tab closes.

## Sidebar grammar that goes with it

The Agents navigation row is gone and Artifacts takes its place in the
destination set, which is the other half of D-045's sidebar grammar and
had an index shipped by #1141 with nothing linking to it. The `/agents`
route itself survives, unlinked, so runs submitted before the composer
mode existed are still reachable by URL. The conversation list loses its
date bucket headers and its heading becomes "Chats and tasks", which is
exactly what #944's second acceptance criterion needs: a run and a chat
in one list under one heading. New Chat becomes the sidebar's one filled
primary row.

Knowledge keeps its row for now, and the file says why rather than
leaving a silent contradiction with D-045 ruling 2: Projects cannot hold
RAG collections yet, so removing the row today would take the only route
to them away and put nothing in its place, which is the failure mode
#944 warns about for the Agents row.

## What is deliberately not here, and why

Two controls the reference's second row carries are absent, for the
reasons #944 sets out itself:

- The autonomy control ships with the `waiting_for_confirmation`
collapse in `engine.go` or not at all. With Auto selected there are no
approval rows, so shipping it now would be a control with no observable
effect.
- The project or folder picker ships only if a run can be bound to a
workspace or a collection. `POST /v1/agent/tasks` accepts `pack` and
`instructions` and nothing else, so there is nothing for it to set, and
a picker that sets nothing is worse than no picker.

The Pack control is deleted rather than moved. `agent_kind` still
carries the distinction on the wire; the Home composer in Cowork mode
sends the knowledge work pack, and the coding pack belongs to a Code
panel this shell does not have.

## Backend ceiling, named rather than worked around

edge-api exposes a task's status and its final `result_summary_ref` and
nothing in between. There is no per step or event feed and no read by
id. Two consequences, both marked in the code with the upgrade path:

1. The run is followed by polling `GET /v1/agent/tasks` and filtering,
because there is no `GET /v1/agent/tasks/{id}`. Fine at demo volume,
wrong at scale.
2. The inline tool lines D-045 describes ("Used Claude in Chrome (2
actions)") and the right hand Progress / Working folder / Context panel
cannot be populated by any frontend until that endpoint exists. They are
not stubbed, faked or half drawn here.

This PR is frontend only by instruction: `vendor/open-webui/src/` and
nothing else. No `.py`, no `owui-patches/`, no Go, no
`apps/web-console/`, no CI config.

## Verification

- `scripts/test-owui-hive-frontend.sh`: 13 files, 139 tests passed, and
all 13 Hive components compile against svelte@5.56.0, the version the
image build resolves.
- New tests: `coworkMode.test.ts`, 19 cases. Pure helpers for the mode,
the pack derivation, the radiogroup's key handling and the run-to-turn
projection, plus source pins asserting the toggle is mounted immediately
after the plus button, that the second row appears only in Cowork, that
voice mode drops and dictation does not, and that the submit path
branches on the mode and goes through the ordinary chat machinery. The
source pins are the ones that matter here: a correct module nobody
mounted is the failure a unit test over pure helpers cannot see.
- `nav.test.ts` updated: it now asserts the absence of an Agents row and
the presence of Artifacts, rather than the reverse.

## Second commit: four home-surface defects found by querying the
deployed DOM

These came out of a live re-score of the box and are folded in here
because they
are the same surface and the same build.

**The chat home was gone on some accounts.** The greeting and the four
quick-start chips shipped in #1161, deployed, and were invisible.
`Chat.svelte`'s
landing branch read `$settings?.landingPageMode === 'chat' || <messages
exist>`,
so an account that had ever flipped an upstream personalisation toggle
skipped
`Placeholder.svelte` entirely and landed on upstream's
`ChatPlaceholder`: model
name over a placeholder string, no greeting, no chips. Nothing was
broken and
nothing logged; a stored setting was quietly deleting two features.
Measured on
the box before this branch: `[data-hive-quickstart]` null,
`.hv-greeting` null.

Both components were correct and both were mounted, so this is not dead
code in
the wrong component: it is a branch reached by nobody. Hive has one
home, so
`landingPageMode` no longer decides whether it exists, and the Interface
row that
set it goes with the branch it drove rather than staying on as a control
that
changes nothing.

**The model menu overflowed the window.** It anchored its left edge to
the
trigger and let its own width run off the right, which is what the model
chip in
the composer's control row does at a normal desktop width; the panel's
`max-width` clamps how wide it can be and cannot move it back inside. It
now
anchors right edge to right edge when the trigger is in the right half
of the
window, which is what the reference does and needs no measurement of the
menu,
so there is still no render-then-move jump. Before: right edge 36px past
the
viewport. After: inside it.

**The Artifacts index had no title**, so its empty state was the first
thing on
the surface and sat flush at the top of the pane. It gets a page head in
the same
shape the Knowledge index uses, and the states below it now sit in a
column flex,
which is what lets their `m-auto` centre at all. Before: title null,
first child
at y=0. After: title present, first child at y=526.

**A cowork run's row was titled "New Chat."** Titles are generated by a
follow-up
completion the run path does not make, so the conversation list stopped
being
readable the moment there were two runs. The row takes the brief's first
line.

## The Knowledge contradiction, recorded rather than resolved

D-045 ruling 2 eliminates Knowledge as a destination in favour of
Projects and
Artifacts. #1184 gave Knowledge a real destination in the shell,
deliberately, to
close a dead-nav bug (#1109). The fork therefore contradicts its own
governing
decision right now. This PR does not resolve that: it leaves the row
alone and
says so in `nav.ts`, because Projects cannot hold RAG collections yet
and
removing the row today would take the only route to them away and put
nothing in
its place, which is the failure mode #944 warns about for the Agents
row. Flagged
for the owner rather than settled here.

## Visual proof

Two comments on this PR, both posted with
`scripts/post-pr-visual-proof.sh` to
the permanent `visual-proof-assets` release. The capture log, the
substrate, the
session mechanism and every DOM reading quoted above are committed under
`docs/proof/cowork-composer-mode-2026-08-25/`.

Substrate, stated because "ran it locally" is not one: the frontend
under test is
this branch's own build from `docker build -f
deploy/docker/Dockerfile.open-webui
--target frontend`, the exact stage the deploy image uses, served
against the
live demo box's backend. `before` frames come from the box's deployed
bundle,
`after` frames from this branch's, same backend.
