Updating on behalf of Anton (Claude Opus 5.5)

Fixes #16445

Problem

The current sidebar still honors per-checkout grouping overrides, but nothing outside the legacy sidebar can set them. Project settings only offers Remove for each checkout, so there is no way to keep one checkout separate while its siblings stay grouped (#16445).

Change

Project settings → Checkouts gets a grouping selector for each checkout: Use global default, Group by repository, Group by repository path, or Keep separate. Choosing Use global default removes the override. Changing a checkout's grouping moves Settings to the checkout's new group. The key comes from the same grouping the sidebar uses, so a checkout without its own repository identity still resolves to its group. The Checkouts section now also shows for a single checkout, so a separated checkout can be regrouped. Overrides are device-local client settings, so the server and contracts are unchanged. Web and desktop share this page. Mobile has no project settings screen.

Evidence

Recording of the isolated web dev server (worktree-local state; demo repo acme-web with three git worktrees, plus docs-site):

  1. acme/acme-web groups all three checkouts. The project picker lists one entry.
  2. acme-web-review → Keep separate. Settings switch to acme-web-review, and the picker lists it on its own next to acme/acme-web.
  3. Opening acme/acme-web shows that the other two checkouts are still grouped.
  4. Reloading acme-web-review keeps Keep separate.
  5. Use global default returns Settings to acme/acme-web with all three checkouts, and the picker shows a single entry again.

Recording: separate one checkout, settings follow it, siblings stay grouped, reload persists, Use global default regroups it

Before After
Before: checkout settings only offer removal After: grouping controls for each checkout

Checks

  • vp test run packages/client-runtime/src/state/projectGrouping.test.ts apps/web/src/components/settings/ProjectSettingsPanel.logic.test.ts: 17/17 on this branch, and 27/27 with the same change rebased onto main 5753207d.
  • apps/web typecheck, vp fmt --check, and vp lint pass on the changed file. Lint reports one existing memo-dependencies warning in code this PR does not touch.
  • The recording ran on this change rebased onto main 5753207d. The branch keeps the closed head as an ancestor so the PR can be reopened, and I'll rebase it onto main after reopening.
  • Not checked: native mobile (it has no project settings), multi-environment groups, and how the separate repository-identity fallback behaves in the UI. That case is covered by the shared grouping map, not by a dedicated test.

Implemented with GPT-6-Astra in Codex and finished with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, both through T3 Code.

Walkthrough

The project settings panel adds per-checkout grouping controls, persists device-local overrides, and navigates to the derived project key. The Checkouts section also renders for single-checkout groups. Documentation describes the available options.

Changes

Checkout grouping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checkout grouping control
apps/web/src/components/settings/ProjectSettingsPanel.tsx, docs/user/project-settings.md
The panel reads client grouping settings and adds selectors for inherit, repository, repository_path, and separate. Changes update sidebarProjectGroupingOverrides, derive the logical project key, and navigate to the updated project. The Checkouts section renders for single-checkout groups. Documentation describes the device-local options.

The settings documentation can mislead users about available grouping choices and whether restoring the global default will regroup a checkout. Update it before merge.

Handle failed client-settings writes before treating the grouping change as saved.

updateClientSettings updates the global in-memory snapshot before persistence, so immediate SPA navigation does not make the selected grouping ineffective. However, persistClientSettingsPatch catches setClientSettings failures and resolves its promise, while this handler ignores the result. A failed device-local write can therefore leave the new grouping active only in memory and lose it after reload without a recovery path. Make the persistence promise reject or return an explicit success result, then await and handle that result before navigation. Awaiting the current promise alone is not sufficient because it resolves after the error is caught.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Derive the route key from the physical-to-logical grouping map. When the selected member lacks repositoryIdentity, deriveLogicalProjectKeyFromSettings(member, ...) cannot use the repository identity selected by the group builder from a duplicate sibling. For repository or repository_path grouping, the group is indexed under the sibling's repository key, so settings resolution can initially return project-missing. Use the physical-to-logical map built with the proposed settings to derive the navigation key.

Document all grouping modes without promising regrouping.

The selector also provides Group by repository and Group by repository path. Document these options. Replace “group it again” because Use global default can still keep the checkout separate.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a device-local per-checkout grouping control that changes sidebar grouping and settings routing at runtime. Unresolved cases can navigate to an unavailable project or lose the selected grouping after reload, so human review is warranted.

Note

This comment is posted by Julius' dot

Closing for missing interaction evidence under the verification rule. The screenshots show the new menu, but no recording demonstrates separating one checkout while its siblings remain grouped, following that checkout in settings, and restoring inheritance. Please attach a short recording of that flow and request reconsideration.

Responding on behalf of Anton (Claude Opus 5.5)

@juliusmarminge The description now includes a recording of the flow you asked for:

  • separating one checkout while its two siblings stay grouped
  • Settings following that checkout
  • the choice surviving a reload
  • Use global default regrouping it

I also fixed the open Macroscope finding: the new settings key now comes from the sidebar's grouping map, so a checkout without its own repository identity no longer lands on "project no longer available". The docs now describe every grouping choice. Both changes are in a fast-forward commit, so the PR can still be reopened.

Please reconsider. I can't reopen it from the author account. Once it's open, I'll rebase it onto main.
