Task: Remove creation copy and diagnose Canvas project creation timeouts

Identity

• Task ID: 20261014-canvas-create-recovery-a72d49e6
• Mode: Feature
• Branch: codex/20261014-canvas-create-recovery-a72d49e6-canvas-create-recovery
• Worktree: /Users/chillishark/Makelore 麦洛/.codex-worktrees/makelore/20261014-canvas-create-recovery-a72d49e6
• Base commit: f34e651774
• Owner: codex-root
• Status: Ready for Integration

Scope

• Remove the exact create-dialog description, change the Canvas rail from pale lavender to pale yellow, remove its Gallery entry while preserving Code Gallery, diagnose actual Canvas project creation timeouts and apparently missing records, and implement the smallest evidenced safe recovery/fix.

Intent And Constraints

• User explicitly requests the copy removal and timeout diagnosis, then steers the same task to pale-yellow background. Main remains the sole authenticated network authority; preserve real projects/drafts/accounts, recent sidebar changes, compact layout and idempotent command boundaries. Do not blindly replay unknown create requests, delete real data, trigger paid generation, deploy backend services, change runtime auth/contracts or edit other owned worktrees. Preserve primary checkout and all existing runtime features. Earlier user merge/push/temporary-app update/cleanup authorization persists, but fresh runtime state must be verified before delivery.

Outcome

• Removed the exact desktop creation description and disabled its absent aria description; Canvas shared rail surface is pale yellow #fff9e8, with Code recipes preserved. Both creation dialogs hold a distinct creation intent. Any failed request for unchanged intent/name reuses its original server clientWorkspaceId; a new dialog or modified name creates a new intent, and repeated concurrent submissions share one in-flight request. Account/logout/reset generations prevent old responses from changing another account or reset store. Create/rename name input is disabled during submission. Removed only the Canvas Gallery/作品广场 footer entry; Code Gallery and all account/compact controls are preserved. README synchronized.

Verification

• Exact runtime failure confirmed through the current authenticated local Host API: Canvas bootstrap 504/30015ms with DESIGN_WORKSPACE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT. Native telemetry also showed simultaneous ~30s Canvas, Agent and teacher cloud failures. Public Square capabilities returned actual JSON200/0.17s, so reachable upstream was verified. Fresh current pointer/Main/PPID/profile guard allowed only NetworkService PID35175 SIGTERM; Chromium rebuilt PID71263. Main35142, Renderer35176 and pointer SHA remained unchanged. Same authenticated readonly bootstrap then returned200/116ms and 5 existing workspaces; requested Autumn/秋天 was absent. No create replay, model call, paid generation, binding operation or Main restart was performed. Underlying NetworkService hang trigger is not proven; recovery establishes the affected transport path. Receipt under .trial-runtime/canvas-create-recovery-20261014-a72d49e6/network-recovery-receipt.json.
• Standard typecheck, scoped lint, default full build:vite, whitespace and feature documentation drift passed; 81 focused unit tests in4 files passed, including API/store identities/auth/races and both UI scopes. Isolated Electron Canvas V2 acceptance passed (1 test, 7.0s), including desktop/compact split, draft/plan/production history and new creation popup; pale-yellow surface and absent exact description checked. Inspected final creation-dialog screenshot. Independent source/concurrency/auth review passed. Logs and screenshots retained outside source checkout in .trial-runtime/canvas-create-recovery-20261014-a72d49e6.

Follow-ups

• Unified update coordination chat 01a12eba-e98b-76a3-8fd5-206f2820d623 notified under direct previously verified human coordination authorization. It is currently preparing a separate Code Main diagnostic change. Current runtime pointer still says436, but actual stable alias points at WeChat name-edit Renderer f1dab; that peer file activation is awaiting native metadata finalization. Any final build/update must preserve actual f1dab product changes and freeze the real runtime pair; do not overwrite them using stale current.json alone. Primary checkout remains occupied/untouched. Native user is actively navigating, so avoid racing UI reloads or discarding work; no whole-app restart has been performed.

Promotion Candidates

• None recorded.

Project Context Loaded

Task context:

• Task ID: 20261014-canvas-create-recovery-a72d49e6
• Mode: Feature
• Branch: codex/20261014-canvas-create-recovery-a72d49e6-canvas-create-recovery
• Worktree: /Users/chillishark/Makelore 麦洛/.codex-worktrees/makelore/20261014-canvas-create-recovery-a72d49e6
• Base commit: f34e651774 (fresh origin/main)
• Ownership: official start/check/status match; occupied dirty primary teacher-consensus checkout remains untouched.
• Other tasks: 74 peer records read-only Scope/Intent/Promotion inventory at /tmp/makelore-canvas-create-peer-scopes.json. Current WeChat local-remark task targets another Renderer surface and runtime436; runtime delivery must preserve it. Prior Canvas/sidebar/consolidation sources are ready and integrated; Code session diagnosis is independent. Old unrelated placeholder scope remains unknown, without a dependency.
• Overlap/conflict: no semantic conflict in source. Runtime updates require a fresh current pointer/build-pair check; no source record edits or adoption.

Read:

• AGENTS.md, existing README product state and prior same-conversation accepted context
• .project-docs/05-agent-entry/read-before-planning.md, memory-index.md, planning-gate.md
• Own task, positioning, current-state integrated snapshot, decision-index, system-overview
• business-rules, success-criteria; evidence/reflection/commitment indexes in Canvas/runtime context
• adr-007-ai-design-living-form-v2.md; peer task Scope/Intent/Promotion sections
• maintain-project-docs skill; existing design skill remains applicable only to the requested color/copy consistency

Relevant understanding:

• Goal: Chinese project-based creative client, preserving authoritative cloud Living Form, server reducer, quotes/tasks/assets.
• Current focus: all prior Canvas/Code rail refinements are in main f34; live full trial436/35142 uses a frozen compiled snapshot and main-owned development login.
• Active scope: exact description removal, pale-yellow rail, evidenced create timeout cause and recovery.
• Constraints/decisions: Main owns auth/network. Unknown mutations must reuse stable identities and reconcile canonical server state; no local semantic fallback or fabricated successful form.
• Evidence: current native Canvas shows project names but its main detail remains loading; screenshots show create timeout. Main createWorkspace performs POST then getWorkspace. Renderer currently generates a new clientWorkspaceId on every create retry. Neither observation proves which live leg timed out.
• Files/modules: ImageWorkspaceSidebar, shared sidebar CSS, DesignWorksRail compact dialog, image-workspace client/store, WorksSquareDesignWorkspace/request deadline, focused tests and runtime evidence.
• Stale/unknown: canonical presentation descriptions predate accepted V2 layout; preserve latest source. Live network stack may differ from source evidence, and NetworkService reset was once effective without a permanent root cause; do not assume recurrence or restart the whole app before precise read-only observations.

Gate result:

• Passed

Plan

• Remove the quoted description and use pale-yellow rail surface, keeping shared Code recipes.
• Independently trace the Main create/load timeout path and Renderer retry identity; obtain precise read-only current UI/network evidence to identify the failed stage before changing timeout or transport behavior.
• Fix evidenced behavior, verify timeout/retry and existing desktop/compact creation with focused tests, typecheck/lint/full build. Deliver through a fresh verified runtime tree while preserving active work; record truthful native and fixture limits, then commit/handoff or push within existing authorization.

Delivery Handoff

• Product commit and final HEAD will be reported to the authorized coordination chat. This clean Ready source contains Renderer-only changes; Main/shared/resources are unchanged against runtime436. Source implementation and live network recovery are separately evidenced.
• A precise read-only real-project bootstrap recovered; no real Autumn project was created. Real UI color/copy activation remains for the combined update, because actual WeChat f1dab files are active while current.json still points at436, and another Code Main update is in progress. Preserve actual newer Renderer feature source and active user work rather than blindly replacing the old pointer's tree.
• Any different title or explicitly reopened create dialog is a new creation intent; an older transport-unknown project may still exist on the server. Never delete it or infer identity from a matching name. This patch prevents same-intent retries from making extra identities; it does not establish the underlying NetworkService hang trigger or prove real model generation.

Same-task Steering Resume

• Official start/status resumed this exact task/worktree/branch/base; user adds removal of the Canvas rail Gallery/作品广场 entry. All earlier color/copy/retry/recovery scope remains. Prior full context and peer assessment still apply; this intentionally supersedes the earlier Canvas Gallery addition while preserving Code Gallery semantics. No conflicting source or runtime ownership change is inferred.
• Planning Gate Passed for this narrow addition. Change only Sidebar visibility condition, README and existing Canvas E2E expectations; repeat related source/lint/build/UI verification because the user-visible footer changed. Keep previous reviewed retry implementation and real network recovery evidence intact. The previously reported ca546c9 is superseded by the forthcoming final source HEAD.

Final Steering Verification

• Same-task narrow steering completed: Canvas Gallery entry is absent; Code chat/settings Gallery remains. Standard typecheck, scoped Sidebar/E2E lint, default full build and independent diff review pass.
• Final real isolated Electron pair passed: Canvas V2 desktop/compact creation/dialog/draft/plan/history (7.1s) and Code remembered-project/shared-settings chrome (5.1s), total 2 passed/12.7s. Inspected final creation-dialog screenshot with pale-yellow rail, no original description and no Canvas Gallery. Logs/PNG updated in the external task evidence stage. Earlier 81 focused unit tests remain applicable to the unchanged retry/store/dialog implementation.
• The final continuation source HEAD supersedes ca546c9; both are in this branch. No new actual runtime update or Main restart was performed by this continuation. Authorized coordinator will preserve f1dab live WeChat source and active user work during unified activation.

Same-task Record Visibility Investigation

• User reports no Canvas works/history in the current temporary app. Official same-task start/status again match Identity. Prior positioning/ADR007/cloud authority/runtime/auth/data-preservation context and scoped peer assessment remain applicable; refreshed all readable peer Scope/Intent/Promotion records. Main35142 is unchanged, pointer still436, actual immutable Renderer f1dab. Primary remains occupied and untouched; ea5d477 changes have not been activated, so they cannot be assumed to cause the current empty display.
• Native readonly observation shows the original five project names and account alice but central region remains Loading AI Design. Source ImageCanvas prioritizes status-ready/nonempty-list/null-workspace loading over its error state; selectProject catch retains status ready with error/null workspace. This is an evidenced presentation path, not proof that canonical records were removed.
• Planning Gate Passed for this related diagnosis. Read real authenticated bootstrap and project details without mutation or prompt/media body output; compare server counts with visible selected project and request failures. Repair the smallest evidenced loading/error recovery path if necessary, preserving all actual data/drafts and previous source changes. No delete, recreate, model/generation call or server deployment.

Record Visibility Outcome And Verification

• Real current Main35142 authenticated readonly bootstrap again failed504/30023ms. A second fresh pointer/Main/Renderer/PPID/profile guard terminated only its NetworkService71263, rebuilt as98782. Main35142 and Renderer35176 were preserved; no real command replay, creation, generation, removal or auth binding. current.json bytes later changed as the peer navigation-icon overlay finalized Renderer d3b0d411 based on WeChat f1dab; this task did not edit the pointer or stable alias and does not claim final pointer byte equality. Main source436 is unchanged.
• After transport recovery, actual readonly bootstrap200/92ms returned five projects. All canonical details200/106–172ms: 愚公移山1turn/0task/0asset; 精卫填海4/2/2; 秋意浓5/1/1; test3/0/0; alice trip2/0/0. Total15 turns,3 tasks,3 assets. These counts verify records still exist; no prompt or media body was printed. External record-read-receipt.json and record-network-recovery-receipt.json retain minimal evidence.
• ImageCanvas now renders a selected-project detail error before the ready/null-workspace loading state. Its reconnect calls selectProject for the existing active identity, without mutation; missing bootstrap/selection and explicit bootstrap errors reload bootstrap. Normal loading keeps the shell. Later errors with a loaded Workspace preserve its conversation, works and drafts. README synchronized. This presentation/retry change does not pretend to fix the unproven recurring transport trigger.
• 89 focused unit tests across4 files passed; standard typecheck, scoped index/page-test/E2E ESLint, complete default build:vite and diff check passed. Updated existing isolated Electron V2 acceptance passed1test/6.9s (test6.5s), including simulated detail504 after project switch, visible error/no misleading empty/loading state, reconnect and canonical conversation/completed-history recovery, plus prior desktop/compact/creation/color/no-Gallery checks. Inspected its error screenshot; logs and screenshots retained in the external task evidence stage. Native app was observed on the user's active Agent editor after recovery, so this task did not navigate away or force reload their work. Source activation and actual Canvas UI check remain the authorized coordinator's unified update step.
• Sole safe conclusion for the live timeout is that recreating the app-owned Chromium network utility restored authenticated reads twice. The30s Main budget spans token acquisition/refresh, Design fetch and body parsing; no evidence proves a fixed20min expiry/background/HTTP2 cause. Future phase-only diagnostics may distinguish these paths, but no timeout extension, unsafe POST fallback or backend fix was introduced.
• Independent readonly final index/page-unit/E2E/README diff review passed with no blocker. Existing refreshWorkspace rejection does not itself publish an error; this patch preserves loaded data when the store already has an error and specifically fixes selection-read error visibility. The authoritative merged, pushed and actually activated runtime result will be recorded by the separate authorized coordinator, preserving user work and all peer updates.
