feat(inbox): auto-select next item after archiving the selected one

Archiving the currently selected inbox item used to clear the selection
and leave the detail panel empty, forcing the user to click the next
item to keep going. Pick the next (older) item from the deduplicated
list, falling back to the previous (newer) one when archiving at the
bottom, and only clear when nothing is left.

Route the detail panel's onDone path through the same handleArchive so
the auto-select behavior is shared.

-# Web Interface Guidelines
-
-Review files for compliance with Web Interface Guidelines.
-
-## How It Works
-
-1. Fetch the latest guidelines from the source URL below
-2. Read the specified files (or prompt user for files/pattern)
-3. Check against all rules in the fetched guidelines
-4. Output findings in the terse `file:line` format
-
-## Guidelines Source
-
-Fetch fresh guidelines before each review:
-
-```
-https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel-labs/web-interface-guidelines/main/command.md
-```
-
-Use WebFetch to retrieve the latest rules. The fetched content contains all the rules and output format instructions.
-
-## Usage
-
-When a user provides a file or pattern argument:
-1. Fetch guidelines from the source URL above
-2. Read the specified files
-3. Apply all rules from the fetched guidelines
-4. Output findings using the format specified in the guidelines
-
-If no files specified, ask the user which files to review.

 - Selectors must return stable references. Returning a freshly built object or array on every call (e.g. `s => ({ a: s.a, b: s.b })` or `s => s.items.map(...)`) triggers infinite re-renders. Either select primitives separately or use shallow comparison.
 - Hooks that need workspace context should accept `wsId` as a parameter, not call `useWorkspaceId()` internally — this lets them work outside the `WorkspaceIdProvider` (e.g. in a sidebar that renders before workspace is loaded).
 
-## Sharing Principles
-
-The monorepo splits into two share zones:
-
-- **Web and desktop** share business logic, components, hooks, stores, and views through `packages/core/`, `packages/ui/`, and `packages/views/`. Existing model — keep using it.
-- **Mobile (`apps/mobile/`) is independent.** It shares only **types and pure functions** from `@multica/core/`, with `import type` for types (zero runtime coupling). UI, state, hooks, providers, i18n, React version, build pipeline, release cadence — all mobile-owned.
-
-Mobile is locked to the React version that Expo SDK / React Native ships (which lags React main by 6-12 months). Coupling mobile to the root `catalog:` React would block mobile from upgrading on its own schedule.

+- Unless the user explicitly asks for backwards compatibility, do **not** add compatibility layers, fallback paths, dual-write logic, legacy adapters, or temporary shims.
 - If a flow or API is being replaced and the product is not yet live, prefer removing the old path instead of preserving both old and new behavior.
 - Avoid broad refactors unless required by the task.
 - New global (pre-workspace) routes MUST use a single word (`/login`, `/inbox`) or a `/{noun}/{verb}` pair (`/workspaces/new`). NEVER add hyphenated word-group root routes (`/new-workspace`, `/create-team`) — they collide with common user workspace names and force endless reserved-slug audits. Reserving the noun (`workspaces`) automatically protects the entire `/workspaces/*` subtree.
-- The reserved-slug list lives in **one** place: `server/internal/handler/reserved_slugs.json`.

-### API Response Compatibility
-
-The desktop app installed on a user's machine is older than any backend it talks to: a user on 0.2.26 will hit a server running 0.3.x, then 0.4.x, then beyond. Every response shape is a contract that **will** drift, and the frontend must survive drift without white-screening. Three concrete incidents already happened from violating this — #2143, #2147, #2192.
-
-When writing code that consumes an API response, follow these rules:
-
-- **Parse, don't cast.** Untyped JSON crossing the network is not `T`. Use `parseWithFallback` in `packages/core/api/schema.ts` with a `zod` schema and an explicit fallback. On validation failure it logs a warning and returns the fallback; it never throws into the UI.
-- **No bare `as` casts on response bodies.** Every endpoint method whose response is consumed by UI logic must run through a schema before returning.
-- **Optional-chain and default everywhere downstream.** Treat every field as possibly missing. Use explicit boolean checks (`=== true`) over truthy/falsy negation, which silently treats `undefined` and `null` as `false`.
-- **Don't pin a UI affordance to a single backend field.** If a button or indicator depends on exactly one boolean from the server, a backend bug deletes it. Combine signals (cursor presence, page length, etc.) so the affordance stays available in the worst case.
-- **Enum drift downgrades, not crashes.** A new server-side enum value should render a generic fallback. `switch` statements on server-driven strings must have a `default` branch.
-- **When you add or change an endpoint:** add the schema in the same PR, and write at least one test that feeds a malformed response through it (missing field, wrong type, `null` array). The test fails closed if a future change breaks the contract.

-This is not premature defense — it is the *only* defense for an installed-app architecture. CSR-only browser apps can ship a fix in minutes; an Electron build sitting on a developer's laptop cannot.

-2. `MULTICA_WORKSPACE_ID` environment variable
-3. The default workspace stored in your current profile (set by `multica workspace switch` or `multica login`)

For scripting and headless setups where you don't want any stored state, prefer the `--workspace-id` flag or the env variable. `multica config set workspace_id <id>` is the low-level equivalent of `switch` (it writes the same setting but skips the access check).
-
-If you need full isolation between organizations or accounts — separate tokens, separate daemons, separate config dirs — use `--profile <name>` instead. Each profile keeps its own default workspace.

-### Metadata
-
-Per-issue metadata is a small KV map agents use to track pipeline state (PR number, pipeline status, waiting_on, ...). Keys match `^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]{0,63}$`, values are primitives (string / number / bool), max 50 keys per issue, blob capped at 8KB.
-
-The bar for writing is high: pin a value only when it is materially important to the issue AND likely to be re-read by future runs on this same issue (the PR URL, the deploy URL, what we're blocked on). Most runs write zero new keys — that's the expected case. Don't pin runtime bookkeeping like `attempts`, single-run investigation notes, large logs, secrets/tokens, or description/comment copies — see the agent runtime prompt for the full anti-pattern list.

-few commands print their own output or run deliberate fast probes — for example
-`setup`'s short `/health` reachability check — and don't go through this
-layer.) The underlying detail is still available on demand (see `--debug`).
-
-### What you see
-
-- **Friendly, single-line message.** Transport failures (timeout, DNS,
-  connection refused, TLS) and HTTP status failures (401/403/404/409/400·422/
-  429/5xx) are each rendered as one clear sentence with a next step — for
-  example a timeout suggests checking the network or raising
-  `MULTICA_HTTP_TIMEOUT`, and a 401 tells you to run `multica login`.
-- **Server-provided validation messages are preserved.** For a 400/422 that
-  carries a message from the server, that message is shown verbatim
-  (`Invalid request: <server message>`); only when there is none do you get the
-  generic "check your values / run with --help" hint.
-- **No leaked internals by default.** Raw URLs, status lines, JSON bodies, and
-  the internal verb chain are hidden unless you ask for them.
-
-### Language
-
-Messages default to **English**, matching the rest of the CLI's help output.
-If a Chinese locale is detected in `LC_ALL`, `LC_MESSAGES`, or `LANG` (in that
-precedence order), messages switch to **Chinese**. No flag is needed; set the
-locale as usual:
-
-```bash
-LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 multica issue get MUL-9999   # 错误信息显示为中文
-```
-
-### Exit codes
-
-The process exit code is tiered so scripts can branch on the failure class:
-
-| Exit code | Meaning |
-| --- | --- |
-| `0` | success |
-| `1` | generic / unclassified error |
-| `2` | network error (timeout, DNS, connection refused, TLS, offline) |
-| `3` | authentication / authorization (HTTP 401, 403) |
-| `4` | not found (HTTP 404) |
-| `5` | validation (HTTP 400, 422) |
-
-```bash
-multica issue get MUL-9999
-if [ $? -eq 4 ]; then echo "no such issue"; fi
-```
-
-### Seeing the full detail (`--debug`)
-
-Pass the global `--debug` flag (or set `MULTICA_DEBUG=1`) to print the complete
-original error chain — the internal verb chain, the request method/path/status,
-and the raw server body — underneath the friendly message. Use it when you need
-to file a bug or understand exactly what the server returned:
-
-```bash
-multica issue list --debug
-MULTICA_DEBUG=1 multica issue update MUL-1234 --title "x"
-```
-
-### Request timeout
-
-API requests use a default timeout of 30 seconds. Override it with
-`MULTICA_HTTP_TIMEOUT` when you are on a slow network; it accepts a Go duration
-(`45s`, `2m`) or a plain number of seconds (`45`). Command-level deadlines are
-always at least this value, so raising it takes effect across all commands.
-
-```bash
-MULTICA_HTTP_TIMEOUT=60s multica issue list
-```

-## Kubernetes Deployment (Alternative)
-
-If you already run a Kubernetes cluster, you can deploy Multica there instead of Docker Compose using the released OCI Helm chart at `oci://ghcr.io/multica-ai/charts/multica` or the source chart at [`deploy/helm/multica/`](deploy/helm/multica/). It targets a typical k3s / k8s setup with an Ingress controller and a default `ReadWriteOnce` StorageClass — authored against k3s + Traefik + `local-path`, and should work on any cluster with minor tweaks.
-
-The chart creates the following resources in the target namespace:
-
-- `multica-postgres` — `pgvector/pgvector:pg17` backed by a 10Gi PVC
-- `multica-backend` — Go API/WS server. Backed by a 5Gi `ReadWriteOnce` uploads PVC by default; set `backend.uploads.persistence.enabled=false` when you have configured S3 (`backend.config.s3Bucket`) and don't want the chart to declare the PVC at all.
-- `multica-frontend` — Next.js standalone server
-- Two `Ingress` resources: one for the web host, one for the backend host
-- `multica-config` ConfigMap (rendered from `values.yaml`)
-
-The `multica-secrets` Secret is **not** managed by the chart — you create it once with `kubectl` so real values never need to land in git.
-
-> **One release per namespace:** the prebuilt `multica-web` image bakes `REMOTE_API_URL=http://backend:8080` at build time, so the chart ships an ExternalName Service literally named `backend`. Because that name is unprefixed, you can run only one Multica release per namespace, and `helm install` will fail if a `Service/backend` already exists there (pass `--take-ownership`, or use a dedicated namespace). If you build a web image with a patched `REMOTE_API_URL`, set `frontend.compatibility.backendAlias: false` to drop the alias.
-
-> **Prerequisites:** `kubectl` and `helm` (v3.13+ for `--take-ownership`, or v4+) configured for the target cluster, an Ingress controller (Traefik / NGINX), and a default StorageClass.
-
-### Step 1 — Point hostnames at the cluster
-
-The chart defaults to `multica.dev.lan` (web) and `api.multica.dev.lan` (backend). Pick one of:
-
-- **`/etc/hosts`** on every machine that needs access (developer laptops + the machine running the daemon):
-
-  ```text
-  192.168.1.206  multica.dev.lan api.multica.dev.lan
-  ```
-
-  Replace `192.168.1.206` with any node IP where your Ingress controller's Service is reachable.
-
-- **Local DNS** (Pi-hole, Unbound, etc.): add A records for both hostnames pointing at the cluster Ingress IP.
-
-To use different hostnames, override the matching values at install time (see [Step 4](#step-4--install-the-chart)) — `ingress.frontend.host`, `ingress.backend.host`, plus `backend.config.appUrl`, `backend.config.frontendOrigin`, `backend.config.localUploadBaseUrl`, and `backend.config.googleRedirectUri`.
-
-### Step 2 — Create the namespace
-
-```bash
-kubectl create namespace multica
-```
-
-### Step 3 — Create the `multica-secrets` Secret
-
-The chart references this Secret by name. Create it once with random values:
-
-```bash
-kubectl -n multica create secret generic multica-secrets \
-  --from-literal=JWT_SECRET="$(openssl rand -hex 32)" \
-  --from-literal=POSTGRES_PASSWORD="$(openssl rand -hex 16)" \
-  --from-literal=RESEND_API_KEY="" \
-  --from-literal=GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="" \
-  --from-literal=CLOUDFRONT_PRIVATE_KEY="" \
-  --from-literal=MULTICA_DEV_VERIFICATION_CODE=""
-```
-
-Leave optional values empty for now — you can fill them in later (see [Step 5 — Log In](#step-5--log-in)).
-
-### Step 4 — Install the chart
-
-```bash
-helm install multica oci://ghcr.io/multica-ai/charts/multica \
-  --version <chart-version> \
-  -n multica
-```
-
-Released chart versions strip the leading `v` from the Git tag. For example, release tag `v0.3.5` publishes chart version `0.3.5`; the chart defaults the backend and frontend image tags to `v0.3.5`.
-
-To override defaults, export the chart values, edit them, and pass them with `-f`:
-
-```bash
-helm show values oci://ghcr.io/multica-ai/charts/multica \
-  --version <chart-version> > my-values.yaml
-# edit my-values.yaml — e.g. change ingress hosts, image tags, resource limits
-helm install multica oci://ghcr.io/multica-ai/charts/multica \
-  --version <chart-version> \
-  -n multica \
-  -f my-values.yaml
-```
-
-When developing from a checkout, use the local chart path instead:
-
-```bash
-helm install multica deploy/helm/multica -n multica
-```
-
-Watch the pods come up:
-
-```bash
-kubectl -n multica get pods -w
-```
-
-On a cold cluster the backend can sit `Running` but not `Ready` for a few minutes while it waits on PostgreSQL and runs migrations — a startupProbe absorbs this, so the pod should not restart. Once the backend reports `Ready`, migrations have completed and `/healthz` returns OK:
-
-```bash
-curl -H "Host: api.multica.dev.lan" http://<ingress-ip>/healthz
-# {"status":"ok","checks":{"db":"ok","migrations":"ok"}}
-```
-
-Then open http://multica.dev.lan in your browser.
-
-### Step 5 — Log In
-
-The chart defaults to `APP_ENV=production` (set in `values.yaml` under `backend.config.appEnv`), and there is no fixed verification code by default. Pick one of the following to log in — the same three options as the Docker setup:
-
-- **Recommended (production):** patch the Secret with a real Resend key, then restart the backend:
-
-  ```bash
-  kubectl -n multica patch secret multica-secrets --type=merge \
-    -p '{"stringData":{"RESEND_API_KEY":"re_xxx"}}'
-  kubectl -n multica rollout restart deploy/multica-backend
-  ```
-
-  Real verification codes will be sent to the email address you enter. See [Advanced Configuration → Email](SELF_HOSTING_ADVANCED.md#email-required-for-authentication).
-
-- **Without email configured:** the verification code is generated server-side and printed to the backend pod logs (look for `[DEV] Verification code for ...:`). Useful for one-off testing.
-
-  ```bash
-  kubectl -n multica logs -f deploy/multica-backend | grep "Verification code"

-### Step 6 — Install CLI & Start Daemon
-
-The daemon runs on your local machine, not in the cluster. Install the CLI and an AI agent as in [Step 3](#step-3--install-cli--start-daemon) above, then point the CLI at your Ingress hostnames:
-
-```bash
-multica setup self-host \
-  --server-url http://api.multica.dev.lan \
-  --app-url http://multica.dev.lan
-```
-
-Make sure the machine running the daemon has the same `/etc/hosts` (or DNS) entries from [Step 1](#step-1--point-hostnames-at-the-cluster).
-
-### Updating
-
-To pull the latest images without changing the chart version when your values still use the mutable `latest` image tag:
-
-```bash
-kubectl -n multica rollout restart deploy/multica-backend deploy/multica-frontend
-```
-
-To upgrade to a specific Multica release, upgrade to the matching chart version. The released chart defaults its app images to the matching Git tag:
-
-```bash
-helm upgrade multica oci://ghcr.io/multica-ai/charts/multica \
-  --version <chart-version> \
-  -n multica \
-  -f my-values.yaml
-```
-
-If you need to override the app images independently from the chart version, set the image tags in your values file:
-
-```yaml
-images:
-  backend:
-    tag: v0.2.4
-  frontend:
-    tag: v0.2.4
-```
-
-Then run the same upgrade command with `-f my-values.yaml`:
-
-```bash
-helm upgrade multica oci://ghcr.io/multica-ai/charts/multica \
-  --version <chart-version> \
-  -n multica \
-  -f my-values.yaml
-```
-
-To roll back if an upgrade goes sideways:
-
-```bash
-helm -n multica rollback multica
-```

-
-The Usage / Runtime dashboards read from a derived `task_usage_hourly` table populated by `rollup_task_usage_hourly()`. As of MUL-2957 the backend runs this rollup **in-process** on every replica via a DB-backed scheduler (`sys_cron_executions`); a fresh self-host install needs no operator action and the bundled `pgvector/pgvector:pg17` image works without changes — you do **not** need to swap it for an image that ships `pg_cron`, register an external cron job, set up a systemd timer, or run a Kubernetes `CronJob`.

-Multiple backend replicas are safe: each replica ticks every 30 seconds and tries to claim the current 5-minute UTC plan, but the unique key `(job_name, scope_kind, scope_id, plan_time)` means only one wins each plan. Inspect steady-state operation:

-```sql

-### Compatibility paths (existing deployments only)
-
-External schedulers — **`pg_cron` registered on the database, an external cron job, a systemd timer, or a Kubernetes `CronJob`** — that call `SELECT rollup_task_usage_hourly()` directly were the only option before MUL-2957 and remain a supported compatibility path. They are no longer the recommended setup; new deployments should rely on the in-process scheduler instead. The SQL function holds advisory lock 4246 internally, so the in-process scheduler and any pre-existing external schedule can coexist without ever double-writing the rollup.
-
-If you already have a `pg_cron` job in production, the safe sequence to retire it is:
-
-1. Confirm the in-process scheduler is healthy on at least one backend replica — recent SUCCESS rows should be landing in `sys_cron_executions` for `rollup_task_usage_hourly`:
-
-   ```sql
-   SELECT plan_time, status, runner_id, finished_at
-     FROM sys_cron_executions
-    WHERE job_name = 'rollup_task_usage_hourly'
-      AND status = 'SUCCESS'
-    ORDER BY plan_time DESC
-    LIMIT 5;
-   ```
-
-2. Once SUCCESS rows are arriving on schedule, unschedule the redundant `pg_cron` entry:
-
-   ```sql
-   SELECT cron.unschedule('rollup_task_usage_hourly')
-     FROM cron.job WHERE jobname = 'rollup_task_usage_hourly';
-   ```
-
-3. Leave the `pg_cron` extension itself installed unless you are sure no other workload depends on it. The bundled `pgvector/pgvector:pg17` image does **not** ship `pg_cron`, so nothing in Multica's default install needs it; uninstalling `pg_cron` from a custom image that other workloads still use is a separate decision.
-
-External cron / systemd timer / Kubernetes `CronJob` setups that call `SELECT rollup_task_usage_hourly()` directly can be retired the same way — once `sys_cron_executions` shows steady SUCCESS rows from the in-process scheduler, the external job is redundant and can be removed.

-## Usage Dashboard Rollup
-
-The Usage and Runtime dashboards read from `task_usage_hourly`, a derived table populated by `rollup_task_usage_hourly()`. As of MUL-2957 the backend runs this rollup **in-process** on every replica via a DB-backed scheduler (`sys_cron_executions`); a fresh self-host install needs no operator action — the bundled `pgvector/pgvector:pg17` image works without changes.
-
-### How the in-process scheduler works
-
-Every backend replica ticks every 30 seconds and tries to claim the current 5-minute UTC plan in `sys_cron_executions`. The unique key `(job_name, scope_kind, scope_id, plan_time)` makes the claim a single-winner contest across all replicas, so multi-instance deployments do not double-write. The handler then calls `SELECT rollup_task_usage_hourly()`; the SQL function holds advisory lock `4246` internally, so a stray `pg_cron` job or manual call can run alongside the scheduler without ever colliding on the rollup itself. Inspect the audit table for steady-state operation:
-
-```sql
-SELECT plan_time, status, attempt, runner_id,
-       error_code, error_msg, started_at, finished_at
-  FROM sys_cron_executions
- WHERE job_name = 'rollup_task_usage_hourly'
- ORDER BY plan_time DESC
- LIMIT 20;
-```
-
-### Compatibility — existing `pg_cron` registrations
-
-If you previously registered the rollup as a `pg_cron` job (`SELECT cron.schedule('rollup_task_usage_hourly', '*/5 * * * *', …)`), it is safe to leave it in place: advisory lock 4246 prevents double-writes, and the loser path no-ops cleanly. To drop the redundant entry once the in-process scheduler is up:
-
-```sql
-SELECT cron.unschedule('rollup_task_usage_hourly')
-  FROM cron.job WHERE jobname = 'rollup_task_usage_hourly';
-```
-
-External cron / systemd / Kubernetes `CronJob` setups that call `SELECT rollup_task_usage_hourly()` directly are also still valid — they were the only option before MUL-2957 and remain a supported compatibility path. They are no longer the recommended setup; new deployments should rely on the in-process scheduler.
-
-### Standalone backfill command
-
-`rollup_task_usage_hourly()` only processes new buckets after it starts running. If you already have `task_usage` rows from before the rollup was claimed for the first time — most commonly when upgrading from `v0.3.4` to `v0.3.5+` on a database that already has months of usage — you can run `backfill_task_usage_hourly` to seed historical buckets:
-
-```bash
-# Docker Compose
-docker compose -f docker-compose.selfhost.yml exec backend \
-  ./backfill_task_usage_hourly --sleep-between-slices=2s
-
-# Kubernetes
-kubectl -n multica exec deploy/multica-backend -- \
-  ./backfill_task_usage_hourly --sleep-between-slices=2s
-```
-
-The command walks `task_usage`'s full time range in monthly slices and calls the same idempotent primitive the in-process scheduler uses, so it's safe to re-run, to interrupt with Ctrl-C, and to run concurrently with the scheduler (advisory lock 4246 serialises them). Flags:
-
-| Flag | Description |
-|---|---|
-| `--sleep-between-slices` | Pause between monthly slices to throttle read pressure on busy databases (e.g. `2s`). Recommended on production DBs with years of history. |
-| `--months-back N` | Only backfill the last N months. **Requires `--force-partial`** because the watermark still advances past the skipped older buckets — those are permanently abandoned. |
-| `--dry-run` | Log slices that would be processed without writing anything. |
-
-After backfill completes, the rollup-state watermark is stamped to `now() - 5 minutes`, so the first scheduled tick after backfill does not redo history.
-
-### `v0.3.4 → v0.3.5+` upgrade order
-
-Migration `103` adds a fail-closed guard that refuses to drop the legacy daily rollups until `task_usage_hourly` has caught up. As of MUL-2957 the migrate command runs an idempotent monthly-slice backfill (under advisory lock 4246) **automatically** immediately before applying migration `103`, so v0.3.4 → v0.3.5+ upgrades complete in a single `migrate up` invocation — no operator step is required.
-
-If you are upgrading from a binary that pre-dates MUL-2957 (or the auto-hook fails for an environmental reason), recovery is the manual path: run `backfill_task_usage_hourly` against the database, then re-run `migrate up` (or restart the backend container — migrations run automatically on startup). **Fresh installs are exempt** — the guard short-circuits when `task_usage` is empty, and the in-process scheduler picks up new buckets from the first tick.

-Two non-obvious bits inside the `/ws` block are worth calling out — both are common reasons real-time updates "stop working" on a Caddy-fronted self-host:
-
-- **`path /ws /ws/*` (not `/ws*`)** — bare `handle /ws` is an exact match, so future path variants under `/ws/` fall through to the frontend block. The obvious shortcut `handle /ws*` overcorrects in the other direction: Caddy's `*` is a glob without a path-segment boundary, so it would also catch unrelated paths like `/ws-foo`, which is a legitimate workspace URL (only the exact slug `ws` is reserved). Listing `/ws` and `/ws/*` explicitly covers both real cases without overreach.
-- **`flush_interval -1`** — disables response buffering so WebSocket frames are forwarded as soon as they arrive. Without it, frames can sit behind Caddy's default flush window, which looks like delayed comments, missing typing indicators, or "comments only appear after a page refresh."
