de8a2741c7 feat(desktop-messages): show compact Buzz link metadata (#6252)
**Category:** improvement
**User Impact:** Buzz links in messages now resolve into compact,
descriptive chips with predictable navigation, while tooltips use the
neutral secondary surface consistently across light and dark themes.

**Problem:** Raw Buzz-native links and opaque identifiers make message
context difficult to scan, while oversized previews disrupt the
conversation. Missing, delayed, or deleted metadata also needs a stable
presentation that does not mislead users or break navigation.

**Solution:** Keep message and issue chips metadata-independent: message
chips render only the channel name, while issue chips render only the
repository name—never fetched content/title or an event hash. Fetched
context remains available in each hover tooltip. Other native links
continue to resolve into concise inline labels, with muted secondary
fallbacks, distinct deleted states, and existing navigation paths
preserved. This also makes two explicit shared-tooltip behavior changes:

1. **Color:** shared and rich tooltips move from the primary color pair
to the neutral secondary semantic pair, including dedicated huddle-token
handling and matching rich-descendant foregrounds.
2. **Hover behavior:** tooltip roots set Radix
`disableHoverableContent`, and tooltip content is pointer-transparent,
so moving off the trigger dismisses the tooltip instead of letting the
pointer enter and keep the popover open.

Together these preserve readable contrast, authoritative project
context, and predictable hover dismissal.

## Reproduction steps

1. Run the desktop app and open a message containing Buzz links for a
channel, message, repository, issue, and pull request.
2. Confirm message links show only the channel name and issue links show
only the repository name inline, with no fetched content/title or event
hash; confirm other native links remain compact rather than rendering
raw identifiers or expanded previews.
3. Hover the chips and confirm the neutral secondary tooltip adds
concise context without duplicating the visible label.
4. Open each chip and confirm it follows the same channel, message,
repository, issue, or pull-request navigation as before.
5. Inspect links while metadata is loading, unavailable, or definitively
deleted and confirm the fallback remains compact, legible, and navigable
where appropriate.
6. In Buzz light and Catppuccin Mocha dark themes, compare a simple
channel-members tooltip and the rich Add agents team tooltip; both
should use secondary semantics with readable nested content.
7. Move the pointer from a trigger toward its tooltip; confirm the
tooltip dismisses rather than remaining open as hoverable content.

## Screenshots

The matrix below covers both the default light theme and Catppuccin
Mocha with an orange accent. Message/issue-chip rows affected by the
stable-label pivot are temporarily omitted until they can be recaptured
from the real built UI; the prior images showed the obsolete expanding
inline label.

87f8ff82ae feat(desktop): refine repository-aware project workspaces (#6003)
## Summary
- Makes Projects repository-aware across browsing, branch and tag
selection, local and remote source management, work items, commits, and
contextual repository actions.
- Refines project details into consistent single-column reading surfaces
with a resizable, section-aware context pod, while keeping project
conversations available in the attached chat panel.
- Adds persistent sidebar project navigation, direct entity links,
repository discussion channels, contributor identity matching, and
consistent loading and activity presentation.
- Keeps branch-specific controls on code-oriented sections while Tasks,
Reviews, and Channels remain repository-scoped, reducing misleading
context and actions.

Replacement for #5981 with an identical final tree flattened into one
signed-off commit because the required DCO check suite remained stalled.

### Related issue
N/A

### Testing
- [x] Desktop pre-push checks, TypeScript typecheck, and unit tests
- [x] E2E production build with `pnpm build:e2e`
- [x] Focused Playwright smoke coverage for project workspace, task,
review, commit, sidebar, and contextual-panel behavior
- [ ] Attach final before/after screenshots after design review

122a8b8988 Projects v3: unify sharing, discussions, and issue ownership (#5792)
## Summary

Projects v3 makes repository work shareable, discussion-aware, and
easier to scan in one coherent workspace. People can copy canonical
links, reopen the exact workspace tab, understand issue and pull-request
context at a glance, find related channel conversations, and assign or
unassign issues across Desktop and CLI.

- **Unified workspace** — top-level sections sit above repository
controls in one rounded workspace, with navigation positioned close to
the page heading. README and Files retain branch selection; every
section has a labeled icon header, and Issues and Pull Requests expose
creation from a consistent right-aligned action.
- **Repository management** — the repository selector is always
available, including single-repository projects. Its integrated add flow
lets project owners create a repository manually or select an existing
repository without a separate toolbar button.
- **Readable work-item lists** — issue and pull-request rows use
plain-language context instead of opaque metadata. Files, commits,
issues, pull requests, channels, and contributors share consistent row
density and right-aligned timestamps, while deterministic
fallback-avatar colors keep participants distinct on light backgrounds.
Inbox pull-request metadata wraps between complete phrases and truncates
long channel names instead of compressing copy into narrow columns.
- **Reliable entity links** — projects, repositories, issues, pull
requests, and commits have canonical `buzz://` links, preview cards, OS
deep-link routing, and tab-aware navigation. Reopening the same link
re-applies its destination instead of leaving the user on a locally
selected tab.
- **Related conversations** — repository and work-item views surface
channels discussing the current entity, including participants, channel
navigation, message context, and an explicit notice when discovery
reaches its 500-result cap.
- **Reversible issue ownership** — trusted assignment and unassignment
events work across Desktop, Tauri, `buzz-sdk`, and `buzz issues`.
Assignees appear in project views and the assigned inbox, while
authorized users can remove assignments directly from the assignee row.

Assignment state is derived chronologically from labeled Nostr notes.
Issue authors and repository owners may change any assignee; other users
may only assign or unassign themselves. Shared golden fixtures keep
entity-link grammar and validation aligned across TypeScript and Rust.

The branch also updates `webbrowser` to the patched release for
RUSTSEC-2026-0257.

fd0ab47a1b fix(link-preview): refetch a link when it re-enters the composer (#5510)
### Overview

**Category:** fix
**User Impact:** When a user re-pastes (or finishes typing) a link that
previously failed to load a preview, the composer now refetches it
immediately and can never send a snapshot preview built from the old,
stale metadata.
**Problem:** The link-preview cache is shared with passive message-list
scroll, so a URL that resolved to a negative result (a hard `null` miss
or a transient fetch failure) stayed cached and re-usable. Re-pasting
that exact link into the composer served the stale negative and never
refetched. Worse, the stale metadata was still `snapshotReady`, so a
fast clear-then-repaste could attach a **stale snapshot preview tag** to
the sent message — a preview that no longer matched the link.
**Solution:** A freshly-entering link is forced to refetch, and the
composer is fenced against ever shipping a tag built from pre-re-entry
metadata. This closes three distinct races surfaced over successive
review passes: (1) the shared negative cache being reused on re-entry;
(2) the resolver's debounce swallowing a fast clear+re-paste so the
re-entry was invisible and the stale tag stayed sendable; and (3) an
in-flight media upload started from the stale metadata publishing its
tag after fresh metadata had already arrived. Healthy cached hits are
never touched (instant card, no redundant fetch), and passive
message-list scroll — which never opts in — keeps riding the shared
cache exactly as before.

<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>

**desktop/src/shared/lib/useResolvedLinkPreviews.ts**
Adds a loader `invalidateNegative(href)` that drops a cached negative
result (resolved `null` or transient fail) while leaving healthy hits
and in-flight promises alone, and a `refetchNewNegatives` option that
invalidates each newly-present href's negative entry before the
peek/load loop reads the cache. Also adds an optional `liveHrefs` input
so newness is judged against the caller's LIVE (undebounced) content — a
debounce-swallowed leave/re-entry of the same URL still counts as new.
Because the hook retains its own resolved metadata (the render that
scheduled the effect already read the stale negative from it), it also
clears its OWN negative key for every re-entered href, so the link
renders as pending until the fresh load wins. `buzz://` entity links are
skipped (they resolve off the relay, not this cache).

**desktop/src/features/messages/ui/useComposerLinkPreviews.tsx**
Opts the composer into `refetchNewNegatives` and feeds it the live
hrefs. Detects a same-URL re-entry at render time (React batches the
empty→repaste renders, so an effect keyed on the live set never observes
the transition), then blocks the re-entered href until the resolver's
forced refetch visibly cycles through pending: its stale ready tag is
dropped from state and excluded from the sendable output until a fresh
result re-tags. Only the sendable negative case (`fallback`) is blocked;
a healthy (`image`) re-entry keeps its instant card. Adds a per-href
upload generation token (`uploadsRef` becomes `Map<href, generation>`):
a live re-entry bumps the generation, the upload effect's dedup guard
and completion are generation-aware, so an in-flight upload from stale
metadata cannot publish its tag after settling and a fresh upload can
start even while the superseded one is still in flight.

**desktop/src/shared/lib/useResolvedLinkPreviews.test.mjs**
Adds resolver-level regressions: `invalidateNegative` drops a cached
miss (next load refetches) but preserves a healthy hit (no redundant
fetch); transient failure → URL removed → re-entered renders
pending/not-`snapshotReady` until a successful retry; and the
retained-negative + shared in-flight-fetch + re-entry interleaving
clears the local negative regardless of the shared entry's shape.

**desktop/src/features/messages/ui/useComposerLinkPreviews.test.mjs**
Adds composer-hook regressions driving the REAL hook through the hostile
gestures: a fast clear+re-paste inside the debounce window drops the
stale tag and holds Send pending until a fresh tag carrying the
newly-fetched media lands; and a stale in-flight upload held across the
clear+re-paste and fresh-metadata resolution cannot publish its
pre-clear tag, while a fresh upload starts and its tag wins.

</details>

### Reproduction Steps

1. Paste a link whose preview fails to resolve (force a transient fetch
failure) so the composer shows a blank/collapsed card.
2. Clear the composer and re-paste the same link (quickly, within the
~350ms debounce window).
3. Observe the preview refetches immediately rather than reusing the
stale negative result, and Send stays disabled until a fresh tag lands.
4. Send the message and confirm the attached preview tag reflects the
fresh fetch, never the stale pre-clear metadata.
5. Confirm passive message-list scroll of already-resolved links still
shows cards instantly with no extra fetches.

### Notes

Scope grew across three review passes from the original single resolver
opt-in into a full defense against shipping stale snapshot tags on link
re-entry — see the scope-adjustment comment on this PR for the detail.
Stacked on #5245 (`tho/link-preview-snapshot-race`), whose rewrite of
`useComposerLinkPreviews.tsx` is the sole overlapping file. The
transient-retry work stays in #5502, which touches no composer file and
remains based on main.

7e6e9c547f fix(link-preview): restore Buzz entity link cards (#5494)
**Category:** fix
**User Impact:** Buzz pull request, issue, and repository links now show
compact, useful metadata cards in received messages, including messages
sent by agents and the CLI.

**Problem:** Sender-authored snapshots protect recipients from external
preview fetches, but that change also removed recipient-side cards for
trusted Buzz entity links when the sender did not attach snapshots.

**Solution:** Resolve recognized Buzz entities only against the active
relay and show signed repository identity, title, and compact builder
context with the current inline Buzz mark in the favicon slot, but
without avatars, thumbnails, or external image fetches. Entity metadata
wins over conflicting sender snapshots, while unsupported or unavailable
metadata retains a safe text fallback.

<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>

**desktop/playwright.config.ts**
Adds the entity-link regression spec to the smoke test project.

**desktop/src/features/messages/ui/useComposerLinkPreviews.tsx**
Treats recognized Buzz entity cards as complete without generating
snapshot tags and retains fallback cards when relay metadata is absent.

**desktop/src/shared/lib/useResolvedLinkPreviews.test.mjs**
Covers kind-scoped entity detection, trusted relay metadata, root-scoped
lifecycle queries, exact single-repository root binding, image-less
pending state, and fallback behavior.

**desktop/src/shared/lib/useResolvedLinkPreviews.ts**
Resolves signed repository, pull request, and issue metadata from the
active relay. Entity roots fail closed unless they carry exactly one
matching repository tag; lifecycle queries are root-scoped before
limits; successful metadata remains stable until relay/community reset,
and PR commit context uses the immutable root event rather than an
unindexed update query.

**desktop/src/shared/ui/compact-link-preview-attachment.tsx**
Uses Buzz repository identity as the compact card provider and avoids
reserving thumbnail space for image-less entity cards.

**desktop/src/shared/ui/markdown.tsx**
Routes message cards through the combined entity/snapshot preview hook.

**desktop/src/shared/ui/markdown/useMessageLinkPreviews.test.mjs**
Proves relay-authenticated entity metadata beats a forged sender
snapshot while preserving mixed-link content order.

**desktop/src/shared/ui/markdown/useMessageLinkPreviews.ts**
Combines recipient-resolved Buzz entities with sender-authored external
snapshots using explicit trust precedence and first-seen ordering.

**desktop/tests/e2e/entity-link-recipient-cards.spec.ts**
Exercises repository identity, PR workflow context, repository metadata,
image-less rendering, and composer send behavior for agent/CLI-style
entity links.

</details>

## Reproduction steps

1. Open a channel containing a message sent without `link-preview` tags
whose content includes valid `buzz://pr`, `buzz://issue`, or
`buzz://repo` links.
2. Confirm each card shows its repository identity and signed title;
PRs/issues also show compact lifecycle context, and repositories show
description/status/default branch.
3. Confirm the cards use the Buzz mark in the favicon slot with no
avatar, thumbnail, or reserved image area.
4. Compose and send a message containing a Buzz entity link; confirm
sending is not blocked waiting for a snapshot.
5. Send a message containing both a Buzz entity link and a
snapshot-backed HTTPS link; confirm cards follow content order and the
HTTPS link remains sender-snapshot-only.

## Screenshots

### Recipient view — Buzz-branded metadata cards

Repository identity, title, and compact builder context render with the
current inline Buzz mark in the favicon slot and no avatar, thumbnail,
or reserved image space.

1922d49cb2 feat(desktop): adding rich link previews to messages (#3818)
## Overview

**Category:** improvement  
**User impact:** Link previews appear in the composer and travel as
privacy-safe sender-authored snapshots, so recipients never contact the

**Problem:** Cold-cache link paste could freeze the composer before the
URL painted; recipient-side unfurling leaked visits; invalid or
unresolved preview work could interfere with sending or leave dead cards
behind.
**Solution:** Paint pasted links before starting cold resolver work,
resolve only in the sender's composer, attach only complete validated
snapshots at Send, and render authored snapshots without recipient
fallback fetching.

## Behavior

- **Cold paste stays responsive:** bare and angle-bracket URL paste
paths commit the visible link before resolver work begins.
- **Sender-only fetching:** metadata is resolved while composing;
recipients render only the sender-authored snapshot.
- **Send never waits:** pending, failed, invalid, and unsendable
previews are omitted. They do not block or cancel the message.
- **Terminal misses disappear:** failed, timed-out, or 404 resolver
results remove the composer card while preserving visible link text.
- **Display-text links work:** Markdown links such as `[review the pull
request](…)` produce and send the same snapshots as bare URLs.
- **Compact and Rich presentation:** Compact remains the default; Rich
preserves source description line breaks and paragraphs.
- **Immediate draft-wide dismissal:** clicking × immediately hides all
previews for the draft, suppresses links pasted later, and emits only
`["link-preview", "none"]`. No confirmation detour. Suppression resets
after send or clearing the draft.
- **Zero recipient fallback:** missing, stale, malformed, off-relay,
unsupported, or suppressed snapshots remain ordinary visible links;
recipients never regenerate them.

## Implementation

- Resolve previews from deferred composer URL state so paste can paint
first.
- Upload finished preview media to the active community relay and
snapshot only valid, sendable media references.
- Atomically capture ready snapshots at submit time; never append a late
preview after send.
- Validate snapshot and suppression tags in desktop/native and relay
ingestion, rejecting duplicate or mixed forms.
- Render composer previews as stable 55px attachment cards at desktop
and narrow widths.
- Add deterministic E2E coverage for cold paste,
ready/pending/failed/invalid previews, display-text links, multiline
Rich descriptions, immediate dismissal, later-pasted links, and
suppression reset.

## Validation

Validated head: `9807ba8952f190e76153834abf8ab61dd40be5e2`

- Push hooks passed: `check-push-org`, branch skew, desktop check,
mobile tests, desktop tests, Rust tests, and desktop Tauri checks.
- Focused screenshot E2E at the validated head: 5/5 passed across
Compact/Rich composer and recipient states, 800px/420px geometry,
display-text links, multiline descriptions, and immediate dismissal.
- PR CI was triggered for this exact head and is currently running;
completed checks are green at the time of this update.
- Worktree is clean and both PR head and validated branch resolve to
`9807ba895…`.
