On the phone, a search that only matches message text showed the old list, then a blank screen, for several seconds before results arrived. The thread list now shows the same "Searching thread messages…" state the tablet sidebar already had.

The split sidebar (Android tablets, iPad before iPadOS 26) said "No threads yet" when no environment was ready, with no way out. It now says "No environments connected" and offers Add environment, which opens Environments settings. Usage limit notices are deduped in collectLimitNotices, so several environments failing the same way show one line instead of repeating it under the same React key (this also applies to web).

Verified on an Android 16 emulator (phone and 2560x1600 tablet layouts) against a seeded dev backend: pending search, turning every environment off and back on, Add environment navigation, Usage > Limits, plus the existing "No results", "No matching threads" and "No threads in " states. iOS was not run; the changed code has no platform branches beyond existing styling.

Walkthrough

The home screen shows a pending message-search state. The thread sidebar updates its empty state and conditionally offers an Add environment button. Usage-limit notices are deduplicated, with a test covering repeated provider errors.

Changes: Thread message search

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pending message search apps/mobile/src/features/home/HomeScreen.tsx	When a query is active and message search is pending, the empty list displays “Searching thread messages…” and the query. The existing no-results state remains for completed searches.

Environment sidebar

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Environment empty state apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadNavigationSidebar.tsx	The sidebar shows an Add environment button when connections are not loading and no environment is ready or connecting. The empty-state text prioritizes loading, then the no-environments message, followed by search, project-filter, and general empty messages.

Usage-limit notices

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Notice deduplication packages/shared/src/usageLimits.ts, packages/shared/src/usageLimits.test.ts	collectLimitNotices returns unique notice strings. A test verifies that repeated provider errors across three environments produce one notice.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

• Issue 28640: The sidebar now gates the Add environment action on connection state, but the issue’s reconnecting-with-error case is not addressed.
• Issue 23054: The collector deduplicates notices with identical full strings, but notices with different environment labels remain distinct.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the two main areas changed: mobile sidebar empty states and repeated usage notices. It follows the conventional commit form with a scope. It is concise and specific. It omits the search pending state, which is a real part of the change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template well. It explains the problem for phone search, the split sidebar, and duplicate usage notices. It describes the changes and the fixes. It gives a Verification section with a named emulator, the states tested, and the platform not covered (iOS). It includes before and after screenshots for the UI changes. It includes the model and harness line. The Scope and approval section is missing. It has no linked issue, triaged bug, or maintainer approval, and no explanation for why a prior issue is not needed. The template requires this section, so the check is not fully complete.

Resolution

Add the Scope and approval section. Link the triaged bug issue or the discussion with explicit maintainer approval, including the approval comment. If no issue exists, explain why this small, focused fix of an obvious bug qualifies without prior approval. Explain why the sidebar empty state and the usage notice deduplication stay within existing capabilities.

offline state when an environment is already configured, and route that case to
the existing reconnect-oriented empty state instead of showing “Add
