* docs(onboarding): add redesign proposal
Captures motivation (two activation funnels), research-backed principles,
final 5-step flow (welcome+questionnaire → workspace → runtime → agent →
first-issue), Q1/Q2/Q3 personalization matrix, backend user_onboarding
schema, API design, resume policy, and development ordering
(frontend-first with Zustand stub, backend-last, server swap).

* feat(onboarding): scaffold redesigned flow and state foundation
Work-in-progress scaffold toward the redesign documented in
docs/onboarding-redesign-proposal.md. This commit is intentionally
broad — subsequent commits will replace step content and wire real
personalization. Not ready for merge.
Included:
- packages/views/onboarding/: flow orchestrator + 5 step components
(welcome/workspace/runtime/agent/complete) and the CLI install card.
Step content is the placeholder version; Step 1 (questionnaire) and
Step 5 (first issue) are the next changes.
- packages/core/onboarding/: dev-phase Zustand store + types. Not
persisted — every page refresh starts at Step 1 so each step can be
iterated in isolation. Will swap to TanStack Query + PATCH
/api/me/onboarding once the backend user_onboarding table ships
(keeps the exported hook surface stable).
- packages/core/paths/resolve.ts + .test.ts: centralized
resolvePostAuthDestination. Priority is flipped so !hasOnboarded
wins over workspace presence — during frontend development every
login re-enters /onboarding. useHasOnboarded() reads from the store
so the real onboarded_at semantic lands automatically once the
backend ships.
- Post-auth wiring: callback page, login page, landing redirect,
dashboard guard, realtime workspace-loss handler, settings leave/
delete, invite acceptance, and desktop app shell all delegate to
the shared resolver instead of inline logic.
- Desktop overlay: 'onboarding' added as a WindowOverlay type
alongside new-workspace / invite, with a navigation-adapter
interception so push('/onboarding') opens the overlay.
- packages/core/package.json / packages/views/package.json: add new
subpath exports.

* docs(onboarding): revise questionnaire to role-driven 3-question form
Aligns the proposal with the corrected product positioning: Multica is an
AI agent orchestration platform for diverse users (developers, product
leads, writers, founders), not a coding-focused tool.
Key changes:
- Drop Q1 "which agents do you already use?" — daemon auto-detects
installed CLIs on PATH; asking is both redundant and less accurate
- Add Q2 "what best describes you?" (role) to drive Step 4 template
default and Onboarding Project sub-issue filtering
- Keep Q1 team_size, refine Q3 use_case (recover writing/research
option); all three now have "Other" with an 80-char text field
- Q3 use_case_other is embedded into Step 5 first issue prompt so
Other users get maximally personalized aha moments, not generic ones
- Agent templates: 3 → 4 (Coding / Planning / Writing / Assistant),
matrix driven by Q2 × Q3
- Onboarding Project sub-issues: surface Autopilot and Workspace
Context (product differentiators), replace "orchestration" wording
- Schema JSONB example and §5/§9 execution plan updated to match

* refactor(onboarding): align questionnaire shape with role-driven redesign
Prepares the core state layer for the Step 1 questionnaire rewrite.
Type-only and initial-value changes; no behavior changes (nothing was
reading the removed `existing_agents` field, since no questionnaire UI
exists yet).
- Add `Role` type (Q2: developer / product_lead / writer / founder / other)
- Add `*_other` sibling fields for team_size / role / use_case so each
question's "Other" selection can carry 80-char free text
- Drop `existing_agents` — daemon auto-detects CLIs on PATH at Step 3,
so the signal no longer belongs in the questionnaire
- Extend `TeamSize` / `UseCase` unions with `"other"` member
- Refine `UseCase` option label (`writing` → `writing_research`) so
it matches the widened Q3 scope in the proposal

* feat(onboarding): implement Step 1 questionnaire
Replaces the placeholder welcome step with the 3-question questionnaire
defined in docs/onboarding-redesign-proposal.md §3.4. Answers land in
the core onboarding store for later use by Steps 4 and 5.
Added:
- packages/views/onboarding/components/option-card.tsx — OptionCard +
OtherOptionCard. Radio-group ARIA semantics; Enter/Space select;
Other variant reveals an 80-char input that auto-focuses on mount.
- packages/views/onboarding/steps/step-questionnaire.tsx — merges
welcome + Q1/Q2/Q3 into one screen. Local draft state for
responsiveness; writes to the core store only on submit. Skip/
Continue CTA swap driven by "any answered?"; the only disabled
case is "picked Other but the text box is blank".
- Test coverage for the CTA rules, Other-clear-on-switch behavior,
initial-answers pre-fill, and full payload shape.
Modified:
- packages/views/onboarding/onboarding-flow.tsx — render
questionnaire as the first step; persist answers and advance the
stored current_step on submit. Other steps still run off local
useState for now; full store-driven orchestration follows when
Step 5 lands.
Removed:
- packages/views/onboarding/steps/step-welcome.tsx — superseded.

* fix(onboarding): split welcome + questionnaire, unblock scroll, drop Q1 evaluating
Three fixes prompted by first real browser testing of the Step 1
questionnaire. All three are about making the flow usable before
pursuing visual polish.
1. Split Welcome and Questionnaire into two screens
The previous merge-welcome-into-questionnaire decision dropped
Multica's product introduction entirely. For a product with no
established mental model (AI agents as first-class teammates in a
task platform), first-time users need 5 seconds of framing before
the questionnaire makes sense. StepWelcome carries that framing;
it's UI-only (not a persisted step), shown only on first entry
(pristine store), and skipped automatically on resume.
2. Remove `my-auto` vertical centering from both platform shells
Long questionnaire content pushed the centered block's top above
the scroll origin, making Continue/Skip unreachable. Top-alignment
+ natural body/overlay scroll is the boring-but-correct baseline
for content of variable height.
3. Drop Q1 "Just exploring for now" option
Q1 asks about team structure, not attitude. "Evaluating" was a
category error. Low-commitment users already have a zero-friction
path (skip all questions). Removing the option simplifies the
question and the downstream mapping table.
Types, store initial value, proposal doc (§3.1 flow diagram, §3.4
options, §3.5 sub-issue sorting, §3.6 conditionals, §4.1 JSONB
schema, §5.2 file list, §7 decisions row, §9.2 execution order)
all synced.

* fix(onboarding): center short steps, scroll long ones — correctly this time
Previous attempt removed `my-auto` thinking it was responsible for
blocked scrolling. That diagnosis was wrong: the real blocker was
the root layout's \`body { overflow: hidden }\` (an app-shell
convention so sidebar/topbar stay put while the inner content
region scrolls). Removing `my-auto` broke vertical centering of
short steps (Welcome) without fixing the scroll issue.
Correct fix:
- Web: page now owns its own scroll container — `h-full
overflow-y-auto` on the outermost div decouples from the body's
overflow-hidden.
- Desktop: the overlay's existing `flex-1 overflow-auto` container
already provided scroll; just restoring `my-auto` was sufficient.
- Both platforms: inner `flex min-h-full flex-col items-center` +
content `my-auto` gives the "short centers, long top-aligns and
overflows down" behavior. Per the flex spec, auto margins are
ignored on overflowing boxes (they overflow in the end direction),
so Continue/Skip remain reachable via scroll even on long steps
like the questionnaire.

* feat(onboarding): add progress indicator + stable header anchor
Adds a consistent visual anchor at the top of every step (except
Welcome), so transitioning between steps of different content heights
no longer shifts the vertical baseline.
- packages/core/onboarding/step-order.ts — single source of truth for
step order; indicator math reads from here so adding/reordering a
step touches only one line
- packages/views/onboarding/components/step-header.tsx — dot row +
"Step N of M" counter; three dot states (done/current/pending);
accessible progressbar semantics
- onboarding-flow.tsx — non-welcome steps now render under a shared
`<div flex flex-col gap-8>` wrapper with StepHeader on top. Maps
the local `complete` render step to the store's `first_issue`
until Step 5 lands (one-line function, self-deleting).
- step-welcome.tsx — keeps its own min-h-[60vh] + justify-center so
the short intro still feels centered once the shell drops my-auto
- apps/web + apps/desktop shells — removed `my-auto`. Every
non-welcome step now anchors to the same top position, so only the
content below the header changes during transitions. Welcome's own
internal centering handles its "short content, no header" case.

* feat(onboarding): add web Step 3 platform fork (Desktop / CLI / waitlist)
Web users now see a three-way choice at the runtime step instead of
being dropped directly into CLI install instructions:
- Primary CTA: Download Multica Desktop (bundled runtime)
- Alternate: install the CLI (reveals existing StepRuntimeConnect)
- Alternate: join the cloud waitlist (captures email, completes
onboarding early with cloud_waitlist_email set)
Desktop unchanged — its platform shell doesn't pass cliInstructions,
so OnboardingFlow routes it straight to StepRuntimeConnect for the
bundled-daemon auto-connect path.
Rename step-runtime.tsx → step-runtime-connect.tsx to reflect its
new single responsibility (connect UI only; platform choice lives
in StepPlatformFork).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(onboarding): capture optional use-case on cloud waitlist
Adds a textarea to the waitlist form asking what the user wants to
use Multica for. Optional (submit still works with email alone) but
surfaces a clear prompt + placeholder example so most users will fill
it in. Stored as cloud_waitlist_description alongside the email.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(onboarding): make !hasOnboarded a first-class gate on both platforms
Triggering condition was wrong on both sides. Web's dashboard-guard
only checked hasOnboarded when the URL slug failed to resolve; desktop's
App.tsx effect returned early when wsCount > 0 before even looking at
hasOnboarded. Users with existing workspaces never got routed into
onboarding regardless of their flag state.
Also wire store.complete() into the happy-path finish — previously only
the waitlist branch wrote onboarded_at, so every normal completion
left the flag false and (now that triggers work) would loop users back
into onboarding on refresh.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(onboarding): Step 5 auto-bootstrap — welcome issue + Getting Started project
After agent creation, the flow transitions to a loader screen that
runs the bootstrap in the background:
- Creates a welcome issue with a Q3-driven prompt, assigned to the
new agent (so it starts working immediately)
- Creates a "Getting Started" project with tutorial sub-issues
filtered by Q1/Q2/Q3
- Stores first_issue_id + onboarding_project_id via store.complete()
- Navigates the user straight into the welcome issue detail page,
where they see the agent already responding
Degraded path: if welcome issue fails, shows error with Retry /
Continue anyway. If project or sub-issues fail, logs and proceeds
with just the welcome issue — the aha moment still happens.
No-agent paths (runtime skip, agent skip) short-circuit to onComplete
without bootstrap.
Local flow step union now aligns with the store enum; removed the
mapLocalToStoreStep bridge and deleted the old step-complete.tsx
placeholder.

* refactor(onboarding): converge all no-agent paths to a single bootstrap step
Before: skip-runtime, skip-agent, and waitlist each finished onboarding
independently, bypassing Step 5 entirely. Users without an agent landed
in an empty workspace with no tutorial project — the "self-serve" case
had no bootstrap at all.
Now: all three paths converge on the first_issue step with agent=null.
Bootstrap branches on agent presence:
- agent ✓ → welcome issue (assigned to agent) + project + agent-guided
sub-issues ("watch your agent do X"). Lands on the welcome issue.
- agent ✗ → project only + self-serve sub-issues ("try X yourself" —
configure runtime, create agent, write first issue, etc.). Lands on
the workspace issues list with the Getting Started project in the
sidebar.
Both web and desktop shells already handle firstIssueId=undefined →
fall back to /<slug>/issues, so no shell-side change was needed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(onboarding): pin starter project + assign sub-issues to the user
Bootstrap now also:
- Pins the Getting Started project so users see it in the sidebar
immediately (both paths)
- Pins the welcome issue too (path A only) so the first conversation
with the agent stays one click away
- Assigns every sub-issue to the current user (via their workspace
member record). Only the welcome issue stays assigned to the agent —
that's the aha-moment hand-off; everything else is for the user to
work through
Pin calls are fire-and-forget (failure logged but non-blocking).
Member lookup is defensive — if listMembers fails or the user isn't
found, sub-issues gracefully fall back to unassigned rather than
breaking the bootstrap.

* refactor(onboarding): remove cloud waitlist option
Cloud runtime is not on the immediate roadmap and there's no backend
table to persist emails. Keeping the UI around would silently drop
user submissions — small trust leak. Revisit once cloud product lands
alongside a proper waitlist table + notification pipeline.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(onboarding): persist onboarded_at end-to-end
Phase 1 of bringing onboarding from dev stub to production. A single
persisted column drives every trigger — no separate user_onboarding
table yet (that's a later phase for questionnaire persistence, cloud
waitlist, analytics).
Backend
- Migration 050: ALTER TABLE "user" ADD COLUMN onboarded_at TIMESTAMPTZ
(no backfill — existing users see onboarding next login, Skip
affordance lands later)
- sqlc: MarkUserOnboarded with COALESCE for idempotency
- UserResponse DTO + userToResponse now emit onboarded_at via
existing util.TimestampToPtr helper — single edit covers GetMe,
VerifyCode, GoogleLogin, LoginWithToken
- New handler POST /api/me/onboarding/complete
- Route registered in the authenticated user-scoped group
Frontend
- User type gets onboarded_at: string | null
- api.markOnboardingComplete()
- Auth store adds refreshMe() — lightweight getMe + setUser,
complements existing initialize()
- useHasOnboarded switches source from onboarding-store (dev stub)
to auth-store (user.onboarded_at). Every call site — dashboard
guard, desktop App.tsx, invite page fallback, realtime
workspace-loss handler, settings leave/delete — picks up the
real signal without any direct change
- onboarding-store.complete() now hits the server: POST + refreshMe
before local state update, so the next router effect sees the
non-null timestamp and won't bounce the user back
Triggers + route guards
- StepWorkspace drops the Skip button — every onboarding user
must create their own workspace even if invited into one
- /onboarding page redirects already-onboarded users away (guards
against manual URL access)
- login page + auth callback: onboarding wins over ?next= for
unonboarded users; invite links are revisitable after onboarding
Tests
- apps/web callback tests updated: mocks now return User objects
so onboarded_at is readable; new "onboarded user honors next"
scenario added, "unonboarded ignores next" scenario kept
- test/helpers mockUser gets onboarded_at field
- questionnaire already-existing strict-required tests bundled in
from a prior uncommitted change

* fix(onboarding): review findings — dead state, error recovery, cache races
From independent review of the prior onboarded_at commit.
- Remove the dead OnboardingState.onboarded_at field, its INITIAL_STATE
entry, and its write in store.complete(). useHasOnboarded now reads
auth-store exclusively; leaving a parallel field here violates the
"don't duplicate server data in Zustand" rule and risks drifting into
a second source of truth.
- Wrap handleBootstrapDone/handleBootstrapSkip in try/catch with toast
recovery. complete() is idempotent server-side (COALESCE), so a
retry after a failed POST/refreshMe is free — letting the error
bubble into the React error boundary trapped the user with no way
forward.
- RedirectIfAuthenticated: swap `!list` for `isFetched`-gated check,
matching the pattern added on the /onboarding page. Same one-tick
race where a stale cache [] could fire a premature replace before
the fresh list settles.
- (Self-review fixups picked up along the way) /onboarding page now
waits for workspacesFetched before redirecting already-onboarded
users, and login handleSuccess reads useAuthStore.getState() so the
hasOnboarded value is fresh after setUser (the closure captured a
stale pre-login value otherwise).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(onboarding): shrink store surface + firm up flow invariants
Post-review cleanup. End-to-end flow is already complete (user.onboarded_at
is the single source of truth); these are quality-of-life fixes on top.
Store surface
- Drop six dead fields from OnboardingState (workspace_id, runtime_id,
agent_id, first_issue_id, onboarding_project_id, platform_preference)
and the PlatformPreference type. None had readers — they were stub
placeholders for a future user_onboarding table that isn't coming
this phase. CLAUDE.md "don't design for hypothetical future".
- store.complete() signature simplifies to () — no more patch arg,
since the only patch fields were the ones just deleted.
Welcome as a first-class step
- Add "welcome" to OnboardingStep enum and make it INITIAL_STATE's
current_step. Removes the pristine-heuristic "did user see welcome?"
check, which could misfire on remount.
- pickInitialStep() collapses to `state.current_step ?? "welcome"`.
- ONBOARDING_STEP_ORDER stays unchanged (welcome isn't a progress point).
advance() chain
- Every transition handler now persists the new current_step to the
store (handleWorkspaceCreated, handleRuntimeNext, handleAgentCreated,
handleAgentSkip). Refresh lands on the right step instead of
jumping back to Step 2.
Invariants
- OnboardingFlow throws on null user instead of spreading defensive
`?? ""` and `if (userId)` that silently degraded to unassigned
sub-issues. Shell guards already ensure user is present.
- Desktop WindowOverlay's onComplete gains a paths.root() fallback
when workspace is undefined — matches web's symmetry.
docs/product-overview.md: committed from untracked.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(onboarding): persist questionnaire + current_step; resume + Back
End-to-end questionnaire persistence + resume capability. User answers
are now server-side (analytics-ready); refreshing or revisiting lands
on the furthest reached step with previous answers pre-filled; a Back
button on each step lets users edit earlier answers without losing
progress.
Backend
- Migration 051: ALTER TABLE "user" ADD onboarding_current_step TEXT,
onboarding_questionnaire JSONB NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}'::jsonb
- sqlc: new PatchUserOnboarding with sqlc.narg for optional fields
(COALESCE preserves unspecified columns). MarkUserOnboarded also
clears current_step — once complete, the step pointer has no meaning
- Handler PATCH /api/me/onboarding accepting partial {current_step,
questionnaire}. Questionnaire passthrough via json.RawMessage, no
server-side validation of inner shape (keeps schema evolution free)
- UserResponse DTO emits both new fields; userToResponse coalesces
JSONB to '{}' defensively
Frontend
- User type gains onboarding_current_step + onboarding_questionnaire
- api.patchOnboarding(payload)
- Delete Zustand onboarding store — replaced with plain async
advanceOnboarding() / completeOnboarding() that call the API and
sync auth store. Source of truth is the user object, no client-side
shadow state that could drift
- pickInitialStep reads user.onboarding_current_step; StepQuestionnaire
initial pre-fills from user.onboarding_questionnaire
- Monotonic furthestStepRef: Back edits don't regress server-side
progress, and re-submit returns the user to where they were
- Back buttons on Steps 2/3/4. Back is local-only — just changes the
rendered step, no PATCH
- Loading indicator on Welcome + Questionnaire submit buttons while
PATCH is in flight
- CreateWorkspaceForm.onSuccess accepts Promise<void> so the flow can
await advance() from its onCreated handler
Test mocks (helpers + callback test) updated with new User fields.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(onboarding): resume to Step 3+ needs workspace/runtime fallback
Self-review caught: resume lands the user on their saved step, but
React state (workspace, runtime, agent) is empty on fresh mount. The
render conditions gate on those — without fallbacks the page stays
blank.
- workspaceListOptions() query fills runtimeWorkspace from cache when
stepping past Step 2. Only one workspace exists during onboarding
(StepWorkspace always creates one), so [0] is unambiguous.
- StepWorkspace accepts an `existing` prop. On resume / Back to Step 2
with a pre-existing workspace, render a "Continue with <name>"
confirmation instead of the create form, which would otherwise hit a
slug conflict the moment the user clicks Create.
- runtimeListOptions(wsId, "me") similarly seeds Step 4's runtime —
prefer first online, fall back to first.
Step 5 resume path unchanged: if `agent` React state is null on
re-entry, bootstrap runs the self-serve branch. Not ideal (user may
have actually created an agent), but bootstrap's list-check approach
(future work) will handle orphan detection symmetrically.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(onboarding): delete all skip/resume jump logic
Flow always starts from Welcome. Questionnaire answers still pre-fill
from user.onboarding_questionnaire. current_step is still PATCHed for
future analytics but no UI code reads it for navigation.
Removed from onboarding-flow.tsx:
- pickInitialStep + isOnboardingStep (no server-driven entry point)
- furthestStepRef + resolveNextStep (no edit-vs-first-pass branching)
- runtimes useQuery + stepRuntime fallback (user walks through Step 3
linearly, so runtime React state is always populated by Step 4)
- workspace resume fallback in runtimeWorkspace (same reasoning)
Kept:
- advanceOnboarding({ current_step, questionnaire? }) — server
persistence, analytics-ready
- StepQuestionnaire's initial prop from stored answers
- workspaces useQuery (gated to step === "workspace" only) for
existing-workspace detection on Step 2 to prevent slug conflicts
when a previous onboarding was abandoned
- Back buttons + handleBack (local-only navigation)
- Error recovery on completeOnboarding via try/catch + toast
Every transition handler is now a straight advance + setStep line.
Users who close mid-flow and return walk the full flow from Welcome
again — slight extra clicks, but each step shows meaningful confirm
UI (existing workspace, connected runtimes, etc.) so it doesn't feel
like repeated work.

* fix(onboarding): grandfather existing users in the onboarded_at migration
Folded the backfill into 050 itself (branch has not shipped to prod,
so editing the migration in place is clean). Without this, once this
branch deploys, every pre-existing user would be walled off into
onboarding on their next login — a real production incident.
Uses created_at rather than NOW() so analytics like "signup →
onboarded interval" read correctly for pre-launch users.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(onboarding): Step 1 questionnaire — two-column editorial layout
Matches the onboarding(3) design spec: full-bleed two-column on lg+
(main + "Why we ask" side rail), collapses to single column below.
- StepQuestionnaire rewritten with:
- Mono 01/02/03 markers per question
- Serif question headings (22px)
- Editorial serif title ("Three answers. We'll handle the rest.")
- Right-side rationale panel explaining what each answer unlocks
- Sticky footer with hint + Continue CTA
- Embeds StepHeader on the left column so it escapes the flow's
narrow max-w-xl wrapper, same pattern Welcome uses
- OptionCard redesigned: radio-dot marker + inset ring on select,
matches design's .opt pattern
- OtherOptionCard: text input appears below the row (not inside the
card) with bottom-border-only styling, aligned under the label
- onboarding-flow: questionnaire now early-returns full-bleed,
joining Welcome as a hero-layout step
Placeholder copy updated to match design examples; tests adjusted.
* fix(onboarding): questionnaire uses 3-region app-shell layout
Previous version had everything in a single scroll container with a
sticky footer. As the user scrolled into the questions, the Back
button and StepHeader progress indicator scrolled out of view, and
sticky-bottom had edge cases with width-constrained flex nesting.
Classic 3-region shell now:
- Fixed header row: Back button (left) + StepHeader progress
indicator — persistently visible regardless of scroll position
- Scrollable middle: eyebrow / serif title / lede / 3 question
blocks. Uses `flex-1 overflow-y-auto min-h-0` — the min-h-0 is
the critical bit that lets a flex-1 child shrink below content
height inside a flex column
- Fixed footer row: hint (hidden < sm) + Continue CTA — always
reachable, never scrolled off
Right "Why we ask" panel is now an independent grid column with its
own overflow, so the two columns scroll independently instead of the
whole page having one shared scrollbar.
Side panel width reduced 520 → 480 to give the question column more
room on 1280/1366 screens where 1fr_520 left ~760px for content;
1fr_480 gives ~800-900px which comfortably fits the 620px max-w
content column plus breathing room.
* fix(onboarding): questionnaire needs DragStrip like every full-window view
Traffic lights were overlapping the StepHeader progress dots because
Step 1 escaped onboarding-flow's non-welcome wrapper (which renders
<DragStrip />) without rendering its own. The codebase convention per
packages/views/platform/drag-strip.tsx is: every full-window view
places a DragStrip as the first flex child of each visible column.
Adds DragStrip at the top of both the left (shell) and right
("Why we ask") columns, matching step-welcome.tsx which already did
this. Traffic lights now land in the 48px transparent strip with no
content collision; dragging from any top edge moves the window on
Electron; border-l between columns runs edge-to-edge.
Also made the right column's scroll container use
`min-h-0 flex-1 overflow-y-auto` so its internal scroll activates
independently of the left column.
(Separately investigated: useImmersiveMode is no longer called
anywhere in production code — the codebase has fully committed to
the DragStrip pattern. No action needed on the hook itself.)
* style(onboarding): drop top/bottom borders on questionnaire shell
* style(onboarding): use chat-style scroll fade mask instead of border
The questionnaire's scroll area now fades softly at top/bottom edges
via `useScrollFade` (already used by chat-message-list.tsx) — the
same mask-image linear-gradient pattern that fades content under the
header/footer based on scroll position:
- At top: only bottom fades (hint: more content below)
- At bottom: only top fades (hint: content above)
- In middle: both fade
- Fits entirely: no mask
This replaces the removed border-b/border-t on the header/footer with
a softer, more editorial visual separation while giving an actual
scroll-position affordance the border can't.
* feat(onboarding): show "n of 3 answered" progress next to Continue
Gives the user a glance-able progress signal as they fill the
questionnaire. Static text, no extra UI primitives, no dynamic
state variants — just `{n} of 3 answered` updating in place,
left of the Continue button.
Replaces the static "Your answers shape the next screens..." hint,
which was always there regardless of progress and added noise.
Same canContinue gate as before (all 3 answered), just derived
from the new per-question check so we don't compute validity twice.
* style(onboarding): drop redundant lede under questionnaire title
The title already conveys the "we'll handle the rest for you"
promise — the lede just rephrased it at length. Removed; bumped the
question-list top margin (mt-8 → mt-10) to keep breathing room.
* feat(onboarding): land redesigned flow + post-landing starter content opt-in
This commit bundles the final onboarding-redesign work that sat in the
working tree with today's architectural reshape of how starter content
is handled. Splitting across sqlc-regenerated files would be fragile,
so it ships as one logical unit — "onboarding is ready for production".
Flow redesign (Steps 1–5)
-------------------------
- Editorial two-column shells on Steps 1/2/3/4 (DragStrip + hero column
+ aside panel) — Welcome, Questionnaire, Workspace, Runtime, Agent
- Web-only Step 3 fork (Download desktop / Install CLI / Cloud waitlist)
lives alongside desktop's direct runtime picker; cloud path is
interest-capture only, doesn't advance the flow
- DragStrip extracted to packages/views/platform as a cross-platform
component — 48px transparent drag row, no-op on web
- recommend-template.ts + test: Q1–Q3 → AgentTemplate mapping
Cloud waitlist
--------------
- Migration 052: cloud_waitlist_email VARCHAR(254) + cloud_waitlist_reason TEXT
- Handler: net/mail.ParseAddress + length bounds + reason trim
- Frontend: CloudWaitlistExpand component + api.joinCloudWaitlist
Drop persisted onboarding_current_step
--------------------------------------
- The interim implementation persisted the user's furthest-reached step;
the final design starts every entry at Welcome, so the column is dead
- Migration 051 no longer adds it; migration 053 drops it IF EXISTS on
any environment that ran the interim 051 — schema converges cleanly
- UserResponse / User type / patchOnboarding signature all drop the field
Post-landing starter content (new architecture)
-----------------------------------------------
Why: the old design ran bootstrap inside Step 5 (welcome issue + Getting
Started project + sub-issues, all in one try block). That had three
defects — (1) non-idempotent: Retry after partial failure created
duplicates; (2) sub-issue assignee raced listMembers → showed as
"Unknown"; (3) skipped users (paths A/C/D) never got any starter
content. All three are structural, not patchable.
New design: onboarding ends at completeOnboarding() as before (gate is
unchanged for useDashboardGuard). The 4 completion paths (Welcome skip
/ full flow / Runtime skip / Error recover) all just call
completeOnboarding() and navigate to workspace. On landing, a
StarterContentPrompt dialog renders exactly once per user
(starter_content_state == null) with Import / No thanks. The dialog is
mandatory — no X, no ESC, no outside-click — so state always ends in a
terminal value.
- Migration 054: starter_content_state TEXT, backfill 'skipped_legacy'
for pre-feature onboarded users so they're never prompted
- Server POST /api/me/starter-content/import: transactional claim
(NULL → 'imported') + bulk create project + optional welcome issue +
sub-issues + pins, all in one tx. 409 Conflict on second call
- Server POST /api/me/starter-content/dismiss: transactional NULL → 'dismissed'
- Import decides agent-guided vs self-serve by inspecting the workspace's
agent list at dialog time — fixes path A (Welcome skip + existing
agent) which was previously excluded from starter content
- starter-content-templates.ts replaces bootstrap.ts: pure template
builders, no API calls. Copy is reviewed as UI; server owns atomicity
- StepFirstIssue is now just completeOnboarding() + navigate; error
surface collapses to a Retry button (no more "Continue anyway" branch)
- OnboardingCelebration + just-completed.ts removed (replaced by
StarterContentPrompt which reads server state, not sessionStorage)
Handler hardening
-----------------
- PatchOnboarding: MaxBytesReader 16KB so the JSONB column can't be
weaponized as bulk storage (every /api/me read returns the payload)
- JoinCloudWaitlist: net/mail format check + explicit 254-char cap
- ImportStarterContent: MaxBytesReader 64KB (templates are markdown-heavy
but still bounded); welcome issue's agent_id verified in-workspace
Tests
-----
- Existing onboarding_test.go (waitlist) passes
- step-platform-fork.test.tsx + recommend-template.test.ts (new)
- apps/web test helpers updated for User.starter_content_state

* fix(onboarding): resolve Unknown assignee/creator + tighten prompt copy
Two surface issues on the post-landing starter content dialog:
1. Unknown assignee & Created by
-------------------------------
ImportStarterContent stored `member.id` (the membership row UUID) in
`assignee_id` and `creator_id` for sub-issues. That mismatched the rest
of the codebase — AssigneePicker and resolveActor in issue.go both
store `user_id` for type="member", and `useActorName.getMemberName`
looks members up by `user_id`. The mismatch meant the lookup never
matched any member and fell through to the "Unknown" fallback.
Fix: use `parseUUID(userID)` for both fields. The existing membership
check stays for the 403 signal; we just no longer need the returned
`member.ID`.
2. Dialog copy too long, button labels unclear
----------------------------------------------
Old copy was 3–4 paragraphs of instruction; users need to read less
than that to make a binary choice. Buttons "Import starter tasks" and
"No thanks" also didn't make it clear what "No thanks" actually does —
it starts a blank workspace, so say so.
New:
- Title: "Welcome — add starter tasks?"
- Body: one sentence describing the seeded content
- Left button: "Start blank workspace"
- Right button: "Add starter tasks"
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(onboarding): server decides starter content branch
Problem: the old ImportStarterContent gated the agent-guided vs
self-serve branch on a client-supplied `welcome_issue.agent_id` or
null `welcome_issue`. The client made that decision by reading its
React Query cache of the workspace's agent list — any timing quirk
(cache not populated, stale, race with WS event) could lie to the
server, and there was no way for the server to disagree. Users with
an agent in the DB could still end up on the self-serve branch.
Fix: the server is now authoritative. The client always sends both
template arrays (agent_guided_sub_issues, self_serve_sub_issues) and
a welcome_issue_template (title + description + priority, NO agent_id).
Inside the import transaction the server runs ListAgents on the
workspace — if there's at least one agent, it picks agents[0] (same
ordering the client used: created_at ASC), uses agent_guided_sub_issues,
and creates the welcome issue assigned to that agent. Otherwise it
uses self_serve_sub_issues and skips the welcome issue.
Side effect: the Unknown assignee/creator bug is structurally gone —
no client-supplied id flows into assignee_id/creator_id for type=
"member". The server uses actorID = parseUUID(userID) everywhere,
matching resolveActor in issue.go.
Client surface also simplifies: StarterContentPrompt drops
useQuery(agentListOptions), the hasAgent check, the agentsFetched
button gate, and the branch-specific copy. Dialog description is a
single generic line ("If you already have an agent, we'll also seed
a welcome issue it replies to right away"). buildImportPayload no
longer takes an agentId parameter — one unconditional return shape.
Payload grows ~15 KB (both sub-issue arrays always present); still
well under the 64 KB MaxBytesReader cap.

* docs(onboarding): clarify runtime prerequisite, revert dialog agent list
Step 3 runtime (desktop step-runtime-connect.tsx) — scanning and empty
subtitles now name the local AI coding tools Multica drives (Claude
Code, Codex, Cursor, and others), so users understand a runtime alone
isn't enough: they also need one of those tools installed on the
machine. Uses "and others" rather than a closed list so we don't lock
the copy to exactly three integrations.
StarterContentPrompt dialog — reverted the short-lived "try Coding,
Planning, Writing agents and more" rewrite. That was a misread of
feedback meant for the Step 3 prerequisite, not the dialog. The
dialog's current single-sentence "how agents, issues, and context
work in Multica" is enough.

* feat(analytics): add PostHog client with async batch shipping
Introduces server/internal/analytics, the shipping layer for the product
funnel defined in docs/analytics.md. Capture is non-blocking — events are
enqueued into a bounded channel and a background worker batches them to
PostHog's /batch/ endpoint. A broken backend drops events rather than
blocking request handlers.
Local dev and self-hosted instances run a noop client until the operator
sets POSTHOG_API_KEY. This is PR 1 of MUL-1122; signup and workspace_created
emission land in the follow-up commit so this change is independently
reviewable.
* feat(server): emit signup and workspace_created analytics events
Wires analytics.Client through handler.New and main, then emits the first
two funnel events:
- signup fires from findOrCreateUser (which now reports isNew), covering
both the verification-code and Google OAuth entry points — a single
emission site guarantees Google signups aren't missed.
- workspace_created fires after the CreateWorkspace transaction commits,
with is_first_workspace computed from a post-commit ListWorkspaces count
so we can distinguish fresh-user activation from returning-user
expansion.
Tests use analytics.NoopClient so nothing ships from test runs. PR 1 of
MUL-1122; runtime_registered and issue_executed follow in later PRs per
the plan.
* refactor(analytics): drop is_first_workspace from workspace_created
Stamping "is this the user's first workspace?" at emit time races under
concurrent CreateWorkspace requests: two transactions committing close
together can both read a post-commit count greater than one and both emit
false. Fixing it at the SQL layer requires a schema change we don't want in
PR 1.
PostHog answers the same question exactly from the event stream (funnel on
"first time user does X" / cohort on $initial_event), so removing the
property loses no information and makes the emit side race-free.
* docs(analytics): document self-host safety defaults
Spell out why self-hosted instances never ship events upstream by default
(empty POSTHOG_API_KEY → noop client) and explain how operators can point
at their own PostHog project without any code change.
* feat(analytics): emit runtime_registered, issue_executed, team_invite_*
Three server-side funnel events, all gated on first-time state transitions
so retries and re-runs don't inflate the WAW buckets:
- runtime_registered fires from DaemonRegister when UpsertAgentRuntime
reports (xmax = 0) — i.e. the row was inserted, not updated. Heartbeats
and re-registrations stay silent.
- issue_executed fires from CompleteTask after an atomic
UPDATE issue SET first_executed_at = now() WHERE id = $1 AND
first_executed_at IS NULL flips the column for the first time. Retries,
re-assignments, and comment-triggered follow-up tasks hit the WHERE
clause and no-op. Carries nth_issue_for_workspace so the ≥1/≥2/≥5/≥10
buckets filter without extra queries.
- team_invite_sent fires from CreateInvitation and team_invite_accepted
from AcceptInvitation, closing the expansion funnel.
Adds a 050 migration for issue.first_executed_at plus a partial index so
the workspace-scoped executed-count query doesn't scan the never-executed
tail.
* feat(config): surface PostHog key via /api/config
Extends AppConfig with posthog_key / posthog_host sourced from env on
every request (so operators can rotate the key via secret refresh without
a restart). Reading the key off the server — rather than baking it into
the frontend bundle via NEXT_PUBLIC_* — means self-hosted instances
inherit the blank key automatically and never ship events upstream.
* feat(analytics): wire posthog-js identify + UTM capture on the client
Adds @multica/core/analytics — a thin wrapper around posthog-js that owns
attribution capture and identity merge. Posthog-js config comes from
/api/config (not NEXT_PUBLIC_*), so self-hosted instances whose server
returns an empty key automatically run the SDK inert.
captureSignupSource stamps a multica_signup_source cookie with UTM params
and the referrer's origin (never the full referrer — that can leak OAuth
code/state in the callback URL). The backend signup event reads this
cookie on new-user creation.
Identity flows:
- auth-initializer fires identify() right after getMe() resolves, on both
cookie and token paths. A getConfig/getMe race is handled by buffering
a pending identify inside the analytics module and flushing it once
initAnalytics finishes.
- auth store calls identify() on verifyCode / loginWithGoogle /
loginWithToken and resetAnalytics() on logout so the next login merges
cleanly without bleeding events.
* docs(analytics): describe runtime_registered, issue_executed, invite events
Fills in the schema for the remaining funnel events. Captures the
design commentary that belongs next to the contract rather than in a PR
description — in particular why issue_executed uses the atomic
first_executed_at flip instead of counting task-terminal events, and why
runtime_registered relies on xmax = 0 rather than a query-then-write.
* fix(analytics): drop non-atomic nth_issue_for_workspace from issue_executed
Computing the workspace's Nth-issue ordinal at emit time is not atomic
under concurrent first-completions — two transactions can both run
MarkIssueFirstExecuted, then both run CountExecutedIssuesInWorkspace, and
both observe count=1 before either has committed, so both events go out
stamped as n=1. Serialising it would mean a per-workspace advisory lock
or a SERIALIZABLE-isolated tx; PostHog answers the same question exactly
at query time via row_number() partitioned by workspace_id, so the
emit-time property adds risk without adding information.
Removes the property from analytics.IssueExecuted, deletes the unused
CountExecutedIssuesInWorkspace query, and regenerates sqlc. The partial
index stays — any future workspace-scoped executed-issue query will want
it.
* fix(analytics): wire $pageview and harden signup_source cookie payload
Two frontend fixes from the PR review:
- PageviewTracker, mounted under WebProviders, fires capturePageview on
every Next.js App Router path / query-string change. Without this the
capturePageview helper in @multica/core/analytics was never called and
the acquisition funnel's / → signup step was empty.
- captureSignupSource now caps each UTM / referrer value at 96 chars
*before* JSON.stringify, and drops the whole cookie when the serialised
payload still exceeds 512 chars. Previously the overall slice(0, 256)
could leave a half-JSON string on the wire that neither the backend nor
PostHog could parse.
Both capturePageview and identify now buffer a single pending call when
fired before initAnalytics resolves — otherwise the initial "/" pageview
and same-turn login identify race the /api/config fetch and get dropped.
resetAnalytics clears both buffers so a logout→login cycle stays clean.
* fix(analytics): URL-decode signup_source cookie on read
Go does not URL-decode Cookie.Value automatically, so the frontend's
JSON-then-encodeURIComponent payload was landing in PostHog as
percent-encoded garbage (%7B%22utm_source...). Unescape on read so the
backend receives the original JSON string the frontend intended, and
drop values that fail to decode or exceed the server-side cap — sending
truncated garbage is worse than sending nothing. Oversized-cookie guard
matches the frontend's SIGNUP_SOURCE_MAX_LEN.
* docs(analytics): reflect nth-issue drop, $pageview wiring, cookie encoding
Pulls the schema doc back in line with the code: issue_executed no longer
advertises nth_issue_for_workspace (with a note about why PostHog derives
it at query time instead), the frontend $pageview section names the
actual PageviewTracker component that fires it, and the signup_source
section documents the per-value cap / overall drop rule and the
encode-on-write / decode-on-read contract.

* fix(daemon): platform-aware Codex sandbox config to unbreak macOS network
On macOS, Codex's Seatbelt sandbox in workspace-write mode silently
ignores '[sandbox_workspace_write] network_access = true' (see
openai/codex#10390). That blocks DNS inside the sandbox, so 'multica
issue get' and other CLI calls fail with 'dial tcp: lookup ...: no such
host' — this is what caused MUL-963.
Changes:
- New server/internal/daemon/execenv/codex_sandbox.go: picks a sandbox
policy based on runtime.GOOS and the detected Codex CLI version.
Non-darwin or darwin with a known-fixed version keeps workspace-write
+ network_access=true; older darwin falls back to danger-full-access
and logs a warn with upgrade hint. The fix-version threshold is a
single constant (CodexDarwinNetworkAccessFixedVersion) so it's easy
to bump once upstream ships.
- Per-task config.toml now gets a 'multica-managed' marker block
(BEGIN/END comments) rewritten idempotently; user-owned keys outside
the markers are preserved. Legacy inline sandbox directives from
earlier daemon versions are stripped on migration.
- execenv.PrepareParams gains CodexVersion; execenv.Reuse takes a
codexVersion arg; daemon.go caches detected versions at registration
and threads them through to Prepare/Reuse.
- Replaces the old ensureCodexNetworkAccess tests with
platform-parameterised coverage (linux vs darwin, idempotency,
legacy-migration, policy matrix).
- docs/codex-sandbox-troubleshooting.md: symptom fingerprint table,
decision matrix, self-check commands, trade-offs.

* fix(daemon): hoist managed sandbox block above user tables (MUL-963)
Review on #1246 flagged that upsertMulticaManagedBlock appended the
managed block to EOF. If the user's config.toml ends inside a TOML table
(e.g. [permissions.multica] or [profiles.foo]), a trailing bare
sandbox_mode = "..." is parsed as a key of that preceding table, so
Codex silently ignores the policy the daemon meant to apply.
Two changes make the block position-independent:
- renderMulticaManagedBlock now emits only top-level key=value lines and
uses TOML dotted-key form (sandbox_workspace_write.network_access =
true) instead of opening a [sandbox_workspace_write] header. The block
therefore neither inherits from nor leaks into any surrounding table.
- upsertMulticaManagedBlock always hoists the block to the top of the
file (stripping any previously written managed block first), so the
sandbox_mode line is always at the TOML root regardless of what the
user put below it. This also migrates configs written by the original
PR #1246 logic where the block was trapped behind a user table.
Added tests for the regression scenario (pre-existing [permissions.*]
table) and the legacy-trailing-block migration; updated the existing
Linux default test and the troubleshooting runbook to reflect the
dotted-key form.

* fix(daemon): allow startup with zero workspaces
The daemon used to fail fast with "no runtimes registered" when the
initial workspace sync returned zero workspaces. This masked a latent
bug: a newly-signed-up user has no workspaces yet, so the daemon would
crash immediately after login instead of waiting for the first
workspace to be created.
workspaceSyncLoop already polls every 30s (daemon.go:107, 365) to
discover new workspaces — the fail-fast check at startup was bypassing
this dynamic discovery. Remove the check so the daemon stays resident
and picks up the first workspace whenever it appears.
PR #1001 partially addressed this for the "server has workspaces but
local CLI config is empty" case. This finishes the job for the true
zero-workspace state, which until now was masked by the onboarding
wizard always creating a workspace before the daemon started.

* refactor(views): extract CreateWorkspaceForm for reuse
Modal and the upcoming /new-workspace page share the same form +
mutation + slug validation. Extract to a shared component so they
can't drift.

* feat(views): add NoAccessPage for unknown or inaccessible workspace slugs
Rendered when the URL slug doesn't resolve to a workspace the user has
access to. Deliberately doesn't distinguish 404 vs 403 to avoid letting
attackers enumerate workspace slugs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(paths): add /new-workspace route and reserve slug on both sides
Adds paths.newWorkspace() builder, registers /new-workspace as a global
(pre-workspace) prefix, and reserves the "new-workspace" slug on both
frontend and backend (kept in sync per convention). Existing
"onboarding" reservation retained — removing it would desync FE/BE
and leaves no future fallback if an onboarding route is revived.

* chore(migrations): audit no existing workspace uses 'new-workspace' slug
Migration 046 blocks deploy if any workspace in the DB has slug =
'new-workspace', which would shadow the new global workspace creation
route at /new-workspace.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add /new-workspace route on web and desktop
Renders the CreateWorkspaceForm as a full-page workspace creation flow,
used as the destination for first-time users with zero workspaces.
Replaces the 4-step onboarding wizard with a single form.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: show NoAccessPage on unknown workspace slug, hold null during active removal
Layouts render NoAccessPage when the URL slug doesn't resolve to an
accessible workspace — except when the slug previously resolved during
this layout instance's lifetime.
URL and cache are two asynchronous signals: there will always be a
short window where the URL still points at the old workspace but the
cache has already been invalidated (e.g. just after a delete/leave
mutation, or a realtime workspace:deleted event). Rendering
NoAccessPage during that window would flash "Workspace not available"
with recovery buttons in front of a user who just deleted the
workspace themselves — jarring and wrong.
useWorkspaceSeen classifies the two cases:
- slug was seen before, now gone → user's intent is changing (caller
is navigating away); render null, no flash
- slug never seen → user is genuinely looking at an inaccessible
workspace (stale bookmark, revoked access, link from a former
teammate); render NoAccessPage with recovery options
NoAccessPage deliberately does not distinguish 404 vs 403 to avoid
letting attackers enumerate workspace slugs.

* refactor: redirect zero-workspace users to /new-workspace instead of /onboarding
Switches 8 call sites and the CLI:
- Web: login, auth callback, landing redirect-if-authenticated
- Desktop: routes.tsx IndexRedirect
- Shared: dashboard guard, invite page fallback, workspace-tab on delete,
realtime sync on workspace loss
- CLI: cmd_login.go waitForOnboarding now opens /new-workspace
Also adds /new-workspace to navigation store's lastPath exclusion list
so it doesn't get persisted as a 'last visited' page.
Adds a desktop App.tsx effect that restarts the daemon when workspace
count transitions 0 → ≥1, so first-workspace creation triggers
immediate daemon pickup rather than waiting up to 30s for the daemon's
workspaceSyncLoop.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor: remove onboarding flow
The 4-step onboarding wizard (workspace → runtime → agent → demo issues)
is replaced by:
- /new-workspace: a single-page workspace creation form (Phase 3)
- NoAccessPage: explicit feedback when a slug doesn't resolve (Phase 4)
- daemon zero-workspace bootstrap (Phase 1) so the daemon doesn't
crash before the user creates their first workspace
- desktop daemon restart on first workspace creation (Phase 5) for
instant pickup instead of the 30s workspaceSyncLoop tick
Deletions:
- packages/views/onboarding/ (OnboardingWizard + 4 step components + tests)
- apps/web/app/(auth)/onboarding/page.tsx
- apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/components/onboarding-gate.tsx (+test)
- OnboardingGate wrapper in desktop-layout.tsx
- OnboardingRoute + /onboarding route in desktop routes.tsx
- paths.onboarding() builder + /onboarding from GLOBAL_PREFIXES
- packages/views/package.json onboarding export
- /onboarding from navigation store's EXCLUDED_PREFIXES
Retained (intentional):
- 'onboarding' in RESERVED_SLUGS (both FE + BE) — kept for FE/BE sync
and future-proofing if /onboarding is ever revived
Also drops 4 demo issues that onboarding used to create on the new
workspace ('Say hello', 'Set up repo', etc.). New workspaces are now
fully empty; all list views already render empty-state UI correctly.

* chore: clean stale 'onboarding' references in comments and CLI helpers
Batch cleanup of references to the removed onboarding flow:
- 13 comment sites mentioning 'onboarding' updated to reflect the
new /new-workspace flow or removed where no longer accurate
- CLI waitForOnboarding renamed to waitForWorkspaceCreation (function
name + docstring); behavior unchanged
The 'onboarding' reserved slug entries (frontend + backend) are
intentionally retained — see prior commit rationale.

* refactor(views): extract shared NewWorkspacePage shell
The web (/new-workspace) and desktop (NewWorkspaceRoute) pages had
identical outer layout — same container, heading, and copy — with only
the onSuccess navigation primitive differing. That's exactly the
No-Duplication Rule pattern: extract the shared UI, inject the
platform-specific behavior.
The apps now only own the thin auth guard (web needs it, desktop
routes below WorkspaceRouteLayout already handle it) and the
onSuccess → navigate call.

* refactor: remove rollback compat layer and tighten daemon restart trigger
Two cleanup items:
1. Drop localStorage['multica_workspace_id'] double-write in both
workspace layouts. That write was added as a rollback safety net
for the workspace-slug URL refactor (PR #1138) — the refactor has
since landed and stabilized, so the compat shim is no longer
needed. Per CLAUDE.md: don't keep compat layers beyond their
purpose.
2. Tighten the desktop daemon-restart trigger. The previous ref-based
logic fired a restart on any 0→1 workspace-count transition,
including account switches (user A logout → user B login). Scope
it precisely to 'this session started with zero workspaces and
just gained one' using a three-state ref (null=undecided,
true=empty-start, false=already-restarted-or-started-nonempty).
Account switches are already handled by daemon-manager.ts on
token change, so this avoids a redundant restart there.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(auth): redirect to /login on logout and unauthenticated workspace visits
Two gaps previously left users stuck on blank workspace pages:
1. app-sidebar logout() cleared all state but never moved the URL. The
current path is /{workspaceSlug}/... which has no meaning without
auth; the workspace layout would then see user=null, render null
(via the hasBeenSeen short-circuit), and the user saw a blank page
thinking logout didn't work.
2. The workspace layouts (web + desktop) had no !user handling at all.
Any path that leaves user=null — token expiration, cross-tab logout,
or fresh visit to a workspace URL without a session — resulted in
the same blank screen.
Fix:
- app-sidebar.logout() explicitly push(paths.login()) after authLogout()
to cover the primary (user-initiated) logout path.
- Both workspace layouts get a defensive useEffect that redirects to
/login whenever auth has settled and user is null. Covers token
expiration, realtime logout, and any other silent session loss.

Problem
-------
The v2 workspace URL refactor (#1141) switched the frontend from sending
X-Workspace-ID (UUID) to X-Workspace-Slug. The workspace middleware was
updated to accept the slug and translate it via GetWorkspaceBySlug.
But the handler package maintained a PARALLEL resolver
(`resolveWorkspaceID` in handler.go) used by endpoints that sit outside
the workspace middleware — and that resolver was never updated. It only
checked context / ?workspace_id / X-Workspace-ID, never the slug.
/api/upload-file is the one production route that hit the broken path:
it's user-scoped (not behind workspace middleware) because it also
serves avatar uploads (no workspace). Post-refactor requests from the
frontend arrived with only X-Workspace-Slug; the handler resolver
returned "", the code fell into the "no workspace context" branch, and
every file upload since v2 landed in S3 with no corresponding DB
attachment row — files orphaned, invisible to the UI.
Root cause is structural: two resolvers doing the same job, written
independently, diverged silently when one was updated.
Fix
---
Collapse to a single shared helper. middleware.ResolveWorkspaceIDFromRequest
is the new canonical resolver; both the middleware's internal
`resolveWorkspaceUUID` (for middleware gating) and the handler-side
`(h *Handler).resolveWorkspaceID` (promoted from a package function)
now delegate to it. Priority order matches what the middleware has had
since v2: context > X-Workspace-Slug header > ?workspace_slug query >
X-Workspace-ID header > ?workspace_id query.
Impact analysis
---------------
47 call sites of the old `resolveWorkspaceID(r)` are renamed to
`h.resolveWorkspaceID(r)`. 46 of them sit behind workspace middleware,
so they hit the context fast path and see zero behavior change. The
one caller that actually gains capability is UploadFile — which now
correctly recognizes slug requests and creates DB attachment rows.
Tests
-----
- New table-driven unit test for ResolveWorkspaceIDFromRequest covers
all priority levels and the unknown-slug fallback.
- Regression tests for UploadFile: once with X-Workspace-Slug only
(the broken path), once with X-Workspace-ID only (legacy CLI/daemon
compat path). Both assert that a DB attachment row is created.
- Full Go test suite passes; typecheck + pnpm test unaffected.
Plan
----

full first-principles writeup.

* Reapply "feat: workspace URL refactor + slug-first API identity (#1131)" (#1137)
This reverts commit 9b94914bc8.
* compat: legacy URL redirect + localStorage double-write for safe rollback
The first attempt at this refactor (#1131) was reverted because existing
users on old URLs (/issues, /projects, etc.) hit 404 immediately after
deploy, and rolling back left them with empty dashboards — the legacy
code reads localStorage["multica_workspace_id"] to attach a workspace
to API requests, but the new code had stopped writing that key.
Two compat layers added on top of the restored refactor:
1. proxy.ts now intercepts legacy route prefixes (/issues/*, /projects/*,
/agents/*, /inbox/*, /my-issues/*, /autopilots/*, /runtimes/*,
/skills/*, /settings/*). Logged-in users with a last_workspace_slug
cookie are 302'd to /{slug}/{rest}, preserving their deep link. Users
without the cookie bounce through / where the landing page picks a
workspace client-side. Unauthenticated users go to /login.
2. Both layouts now double-write the workspace id to the legacy
localStorage key on every workspace entry. New code ignores this key
— it exists solely so that if this PR ever gets reverted again, the
legacy build reading the key would still find the correct workspace
and avoid the empty-dashboard symptom users saw during the rollback.
Net effect: any direction of deploy ↔ rollback is now cache-compatible,
and any direction of old bookmark → new route resolves without 404.

* fix(platform): defer rehydrateAllWorkspaceStores to a microtask
Same React 19 render-phase restriction that forced setCurrentWorkspace
to defer its subscriber notifications. rehydrateAllWorkspaceStores
synchronously calls each persist store's rehydrate, which setState()s
the store, which schedules updates on any subscribed component. When
the workspace layout's render-phase ref guard invoked this, React
complained that SearchCommand (a store subscriber) couldn't be
re-rendered while WorkspaceLayout was still rendering.
Fix: queueMicrotask the rehydrate loop and add a pending-flag guard so
rapid workspace switches coalesce into one rehydrate on the final slug.
Persist stores tolerate one microtask of staleness — they hold UI
preferences, not correctness-critical state.

* feat: workspace URL refactor + slug-first API identity
Make the URL the single source of truth for workspace identity.
All workspace-scoped URLs now carry the workspace slug as the first
path segment (/{slug}/issues, /{slug}/projects, etc.), matching the
industry standard (Linear, Notion, Vercel, GitHub).
## Key architectural changes
**URL-driven workspace identity:**
- Web routes moved under app/[workspaceSlug]/(dashboard)/
- Desktop routes nested under /:workspaceSlug
- paths.ts builder centralises all URL construction
- reserved-slugs validation (backend + frontend + DB migration audit)
**Slug-first API contract:**
- Frontend sends X-Workspace-Slug header (from URL) instead of X-Workspace-ID (UUID)
- Backend middleware resolves slug → UUID via GetWorkspaceBySlug, falls back to
X-Workspace-ID for CLI/daemon backwards compatibility
- WebSocket auth accepts ?workspace_slug query param with SlugResolver callback
**State cleanup:**
- Deleted: useWorkspaceStore (Zustand mirror), switchWorkspace/hydrateWorkspace/
clearWorkspace, localStorage["multica_workspace_id"], api._workspaceId
- useCurrentWorkspace() derives from URL slug + React Query workspace list
- useWorkspaceId() is now a bridge hook (no Context, derives from useCurrentWorkspace)
- WorkspaceIdProvider removed from DashboardGuard
- Paired module vars (slug + UUID) in workspace-storage.ts for non-React consumers
**Layout simplified:**
- Render-phase ref guard sets workspace context synchronously (no async gate)
- DashboardGuard handles auth redirect, loading state, and workspace resolution
- Subscriber notifications deferred via queueMicrotask (React 19 compat)
- persist namespace uses slug (immutable) instead of UUID
## Issues resolved
MUL-43 (share links), MUL-509 (mobile workspace switch), MUL-723 (workspace in URL),
MUL-727 (create workspace flash), MUL-728 (delete workspace no-navigate),
MUL-820 (sidebar Join not switching)

* fix: resolve code review C3/C4/C5/C6 — desktop deadlock + hardcoded paths
C3: Desktop OnboardingGate was calling useCurrentWorkspace() outside
WorkspaceSlugProvider → always null → permanent onboarding deadlock.
Rewrite to use useQuery(workspaceListOptions()) which reads React Query
cache directly without slug context. Remove DashboardGuard from
DesktopShell (auth gating handled by AppContent, workspace routing by
WorkspaceRouteLayout per-tab).
C4: Landing page "Dashboard" links hardcoded /issues (no longer valid).
Changed to / — proxy handles redirect to /{lastSlug}/issues.
C5: autopilots-page.tsx had one hardcoded /autopilots/${id} link.
Changed to wsPaths.autopilotDetail(id).
C6: inbox-page.tsx hardcoded /inbox paths. Changed to wsPaths.inbox().

* fix(desktop): wrap shell in WorkspaceSlugProvider from module var
AppSidebar calls useWorkspacePaths() → useRequiredWorkspaceSlug() which
throws outside WorkspaceSlugProvider. In the desktop shell, the sidebar
renders at the shell level (outside any tab's WorkspaceRouteLayout).
Fix: DesktopShell reads the current slug via useSyncExternalStore on
the workspace-storage singleton. When slug is available, wraps the
entire shell in WorkspaceSlugProvider. When null (first mount before
any tab's WorkspaceRouteLayout sets it), shows a loading spinner.

* fix(desktop): migrate old tab paths + fix shell slug deadlock
Tab store rehydration: old-format paths like "/issues/abc" (missing
workspace slug prefix) are reset to "/" so IndexRedirect picks the
correct workspace. Detection: if the first segment is a known route
name (issues, projects, etc.) rather than a workspace slug, it's an
old-format path.
Desktop shell: TabContent must always render (not gated behind slug
check) so WorkspaceRouteLayout can mount and call setCurrentWorkspace.
Only sidebar and shell-level UI (chat, modals, search) gate on slug
being present.

- packages/ui/styles/base.css: add `text-autospace: ideograph-alpha
ideograph-numeric` to html. Native CSS feature (Chrome 119+,
Electron recent) that auto-inserts 1/4em space between CJK ideographs
and Latin letters/numerals. Progressive enhancement — older browsers
ignore the rule silently.
- docs/design.md: update font family table to reflect Inter + CJK system
fallback. Reword font-bold ban rationale to be font-agnostic
(information density / layout rhythm), not Geist-specific.

web_search and data tools authenticate via auth.json (sid + deviceId).
When SMC_DATA_DIR is set (e.g. for E2E tests), the auth file may not
exist in the custom dir. Now getLocalAuth() falls back to
~/.super-multica-dev/auth.json, which is created by pnpm dev:local
Desktop login and valid for the dev backend (api-dev.copilothub.ai).
