Task: Inspect delivered agent refresh behavior

Identity

• Task ID: 20260928-agent-refresh-a6d109b3
• Mode: Feature
• Branch: codex/20260928-agent-refresh-a6d109b3-agent-refresh
• Worktree: /Users/chillishark/Makelore 麦洛/.codex-worktrees/makelore/20260928-agent-refresh-a6d109b3
• Base commit: b26e25c9ed
• Owner: codex
• Status: Ready

Scope

• Diagnose delayed delivered-Agent updates, then implement the user-approved manual refresh button beside the topbar Agent list.
• Share refreshed catalog/configuration with the open consultation panel without replacing its topic, draft or published version.

Intent And Constraints

• User first requested diagnosis and product-language evaluation with no code changes, then explicitly requested implementation.
• Refresh is read-only and independent of proactive check-in eligibility; no model question, paid call, current-topic upgrade, automatic Agent switch or draft clearing.
• Preserve the latest approved hover introductions and simplified consultation panel by fast-forwarding this owned checkout to committed dependency 862477f. Its source task record remains byte-for-byte unchanged. Do not alter peer checkouts or the running trial.

Project Context Loaded

• Same task/worktree resumed with matching start/status ownership; feature mode and recorded branch/base verified. Prior positioning, integrated state, decision index, teacher ADR, architecture, domain and evidence context remain loaded. Updated hover-intro peer task record reviewed; all eight peer scopes assessed, no conflicting product decisions. Concurrent and Planning Gates Passed.
• Current rules: Main owns cloud access; published Agent identity/configuration comes from the catalog; old topics pin their version. Initial catalog reads, panel-open reads and existing automatic check-ins remain supported.
• Adapt the design skill's compact, accessible loading/error feedback to the existing light UI; no new fonts, theme, or navigation patterns.
• Plan: add shared read-only loader and manual action, preserve drafts/selection/pinned history, verify unit/typecheck/build/layout/Electron behavior and obtain independent review.

Outcome

• Added a compact Refresh control outside the scrolling Agent strip, with disabled/spinning loading state, three-second success feedback, visible failure feedback and retry. Keyboard labeling and polite status announcements are included.
• Manual refresh immediately reads configuration and catalog through the existing Main API, bypassing proactive five-minute/call-eligibility gates. Concurrent callers share the same request; failed reads retain the prior catalog; obsolete scope/unmounted responses are ignored.
• Topbar and open panel consume the same catalog. Same-ID updates change the version used by new topics without remounting the panel or changing existing topic definitions/versions. Opening or switching a panel still checks through the shared loader.
• Preserved current Agent selection, operation and consultation drafts, pinned history, unread messages, and pending sends. First delivery while an unassigned editor is open keeps that editor/draft stable until the user explicitly selects an Agent or a topic is bound.
• No Main/backend change, production installation, main merge, remote push, live model call, or running-trial restart.

Verification

• Passed: 67 tests across teacher-companion and coding-teacher-ui, including seven new cases covering busy/composing refresh, duplicate clicks, shared latest versions, old-topic/history/draft/unread preservation, independent config/catalog errors and retry, first delivery, and obsolete project responses.
• Passed: 38 tests across coding-chat-panel and preview-clearance on final product code; 105 relevant unit tests in total.
• Passed: standard typecheck, changed-file ESLint, git diff whitespace check, production Renderer/Main/Preload/utility compilation using pinned pnpm 10.33.4.
• Passed: all 9 existing/extended Chrome layout scenarios, including 520px and 1000px scrolling strips with an always-reachable refresh control. Desktop and narrow screenshots visually reviewed.
• Passed: final-build Electron manual-refresh and proactive-presence scenarios. Manual refresh verifies held/loading state, new/renamed Agent, unchanged old topic/reply, operation and consultation draft preservation, failed refresh retention and retry. Captured API requests prove refresh performs no message/check-in/prompt POST or topic reload.
• Independent review found first-delivery draft remounting; fixed with an explicit unassigned selection and covered by a focused regression. Existing consultation E2E exposed delayed introduction reopening after clicking an Agent; explicit click suppression now preserves closure until genuine outside reentry or keyboard focus. Re-review found no additional actionable issue for either fix.
• Passed on final build: all 3 focused Electron cases (consultation switching/drafts/hover, manual refresh, proactive presence) plus 4 affected scrolling/hover layout cases, 7/7 in 16.9 seconds. No assertion was weakened. A prior unrelated sidebar drag assertion (193px instead of 256px) matched the source task’s documented native-input flake; the final full consultation scenario passed. The proactive fixture was corrected to create its new topic from the actual distributed default definition/version. Final screenshots are under ignored test-results/agent-refresh-verified/.
• check_project_docs passed. Task-aware drift checker reports the unchanged source task record inherited from 862477f as FOREIGN_DOC because it compares all commits to the original b26e25c base. Direct comparison to dependency 862477f is empty; Git blob and working-file hash both equal ffd72a1240. No foreign/canonical document was edited, deleted, or adopted; record this checker limitation without weakening its rules.

Follow-ups

• Current running trial was updated after the user explicitly requested it; integration into main remains separate.

Promotion Candidates

• Target: canonical classroom interaction/current-state documentation. Proposal: topbar manual refresh immediately synchronizes catalog/configuration with open consultation, preserves drafts/history and old-topic version pinning, and issues only read requests. Evidence: explicit user request, source change, 105 unit tests, layout and Electron checks, independent review. Future impact: operational Agent publication can be checked immediately without waiting for proactive cadence. Semantic conflicts: none. Human confirmation: already supplied for this feature; canonical promotion remains integration-only.

Trial Update Resume

• User explicitly requested updating the current client. Same task/ownership resumed and verified; updated peer record shows two newer approved UI strings at ae0f72d. Merge that committed dependency into the owned task so the live footer/placeholder changes are preserved. No semantic conflict; prior context remains valid, gates passed.
• Supersedes earlier no-running-trial-update constraint only for this isolated application. Preserve existing profile, conversation history, unsent input, and foreground focus. Inspect exact live process and state, update verified Renderer with minimal interruption, then verify and close temporary diagnostics. No production installation or real test question.

Trial Update Outcome

• Merged the committed latest UI dependency ae0f72d (including 5e83676 footer cleanup) into this owned branch at 4f6bda4; no source conflict. After merge, typecheck, 67 companion/UI tests and production build passed.
• Updated the running Makelore Teacher Trial Renderer to this build while keeping PID 27713, window 1, Main/Host API and the same profile. Did not restart or focus the application; the window remained unfocused before and after.
• Snapshotted local storage and in-memory operation/provisional drafts before navigation; all operation drafts/attachments were empty. Restored project, operation conversation, selected consultation Agent/topic, open work/consultation panels and panel width. Login remains authenticated with the same stored identity/token. Visible input contents, consultation text/references/pending identity are unchanged; local-storage formatting/session activity updates were semantically checked.
• Live verification: Refresh button appears and a click returns 已更新; the updated 和老师聊聊 placeholder and footer cleanup remain. The check only invokes the existing read-only catalog/config action, without submitting a test conversation.
• Current process uses the new renderer path for future windows. Created an ignored background launcher in this owned build and updated trial launch metadata for subsequent starts; preserved the prior metadata as a local backup. Existing Main source and peer checkout were untouched.
• Native offscreen capture returned UnknownVizError while the app was unfocused; no focus was taken to obtain a screenshot. Prior build screenshots/layout checks plus live DOM/state checks cover the update. Temporary debugger/inspector access is closed after verification, and the in-process backup is discarded.
• Final documentation check passed. Drift checker retains the known inherited FOREIGN_DOC warning relative to the original base; the source task record remains identical to merged dependency ae0f72d (both Git blobs: 2c9fbcf0a1). Inspector endpoint closure was verified.
