feat(web): keep a focused project filter when opening threads - #33533
Sending the first message in Project B while the sidebar is filtered to Project A resets the filter to All projects and persists it. This adds Settings → General → Sidebar → Open threads outside the project filter → Switch to thread's project, so opening B selects B's project group instead. Show all projects remains the default. Refs https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/33251.
The setting applies to route reveals from drafts, links, history and the command palette. Group matching uses both environment and project; unavailable groups retain the existing All projects fallback. The chosen scope drives filtering, search and pagination together, persists across reloads, and respects a later manual filter choice.
Scope and approval
This configures the established sidebar project filter and route auto-reveal. The option chooses the project scope selected when an opened thread falls outside the current filter, using the existing filter, search, pagination and persistence paths. Its effects stay within that capability: browser-local filtering, with Show all projects still the default. This is submitted under the established-capability configuration exception; no maintainer approval is claimed.
Both captures use the same branch: the default intentionally retains upstream behavior. Evidence uses an isolated real web client with synthetic projects and Replay turns in headless Chromium. First Send, reload persistence, a manual filter followed by Settings/back, and resetting the setting were verified. No windows opened on the main display.
Validation: the new route-resolution regression failed on the original resolver. Focused logic/settings tests passed; final vp run check:changed upstream/main passed format, lint, Knip, 37 affected package typechecks, 210 tests across 11 files and four React Compiler checks. Electron, native mobile and real relay/tunnel connections were not separately exercised; same-project-ID/different-environment ownership is covered by focused tests.
Rebased onto upstream ff7aa5ace311c70587631dcedb43f1d92068c342. The reviewed patch is unchanged (stable patch ID); the upstream additions concern About/update checks and source-control writing settings.
Reviewed with review-loop: 1 round with Claude Opus 5.5 on xhigh. Reviewer verdict: approved. Optional effect-dependency polish was deferred because the existing equality guard prevents repeated writes; unavailable-group fallback follows the intended behavior.
Created with GPT-6.1 Sol in the Codex harness through T3 Code; reviewed with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Agent.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Adds an optional preference to keep the sidebar focused on an opened thread’s project. Existing show-all behavior remains the default, and the change affects local filtering rather than project data or access.

Walkthrough
The sidebar now supports two behaviors for revealing threads outside the project filter: showing all projects or switching to the thread’s project. A client setting controls the behavior, and the General settings panel exposes it.
The settings contract adds show-all and switch-project values, defaults older settings to show-all, and tests decoding and encoding.
Resolve and apply route scope apps/web/src/components/sidebar/routeReveal.ts, apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx, apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.logic.test.ts
The route resolver returns project scope keys according to the setting. Sidebar uses those keys to render and persist the revealed scope. Tests cover pending, completed, searching, and reopened-thread cases.
Configure and document reveal behavior apps/web/src/components/settings/SettingsPanels.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/settingsSearch.ts, docs/user/thread-sidebar.md
The General settings panel adds the selector, validation, and reset behavior. Settings search links to the option, and the sidebar guide describes its behavior.

Keeping show-all as the default is intentional for this opt-in configuration PR. The schema default and reset behavior preserve the existing policy; users can select Switch to thread’s project. Both policies have focused tests and real-client captures in the description.
I changed the closing reference from Fixes to Refs #33251, so this PR does not claim to deliver the issue’s proposed default change. Changing the product default would expand the reviewed configuration scope.
merged current main into this branch with a merge commit (6b2850a7e7), no rebase. the only conflict was the @t3tools/contracts/settings import list in SettingsPanels.tsx; it now imports both SidebarProjectFilterRevealBehavior (this pr) and ScreenReaderAnnouncements (main). no other code changed.
vp run check:changed passed on the merge: format, lint, knip, typecheck (37 packages), 12 test files, react compiler.
coderabbit's linked-issue warning asks to default to switch-project; left as show-all, since this pr adds the option without changing the default.
Earlier verification (head 7a2a17b088)
verified head 7a2a17b088d698cc8029575601f3c058829c6600 on this linux boat vm, using the real dev web client, repository playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome. no code changes were needed.
reproduced on github/main (4c924ff4e6): first send in sidebar-beta while filtered to sidebar-alpha widened to all projects and persisted after reload.
created two real git repositories, added their projects through the app, and completed real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns. no replay provider, mocks or seeded fixtures. main was stopped before starting the pr server. the comparison uses a copy of that app-created state.
selected settings → general → sidebar → open threads outside the project filter → switch to thread's project. opening the same beta thread selected only sidebar-beta. reload preserved both the filter and the setting.
created a new beta draft, manually selected alpha, then sent its first message. the filter switched to beta and codex returned beta first send verified.. checked the completed conversation after the recording.
a later manual alpha filter survived opening and closing settings. the setting's reset restored show all projects, and opening an out-of-filter beta thread again selected all projects. scoped search excluded alpha while beta was selected and found beta normally.
blacksmith: vp test run apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.logic.test.ts packages/contracts/src/settings.test.ts passed 124 tests across 2 files. all 28 reported head checks were successful.
before on main, after on the pr, with the same beta conversation:
the 19-second recording was inspected and its uploaded playback and seeking were checked.
Not verified
native electron, ios and android clients; other providers; relay/tunnel and multiple environments; unavailable-project fallback and large-list pagination were not exercised in a real client. the focused tests cover the environment-aware ownership and unavailable-group fallback. no merge, rebase, force-push or label changes.
