Problem

Inline citation chips work well for placing a quote inside a sentence. When you collect several quotes to discuss, though, they crowd the prompt and are hard to review together. Codex handles this with an "N annotations" tray above the input.

Change

  • New setting: Settings → Chat → New citations go, either Inline (default) or In the tray. It's per client, and the default keeps today's behavior.
  • In tray mode, Cite opens the usual comment popup at the source. Saved citations collect in an N annotations pill above the input. Opening the pill lists each quote with its comment and icon buttons with tooltips: edit (pencil), insert inline (text cursor), and delete (trash can), styled like the citation popup's own actions. Clear all annotations empties the tray.
  • In any citation's comment editor, Move to tray and Insert inline move that quote between the tray and the prompt text.
  • Tray quotes are sent in their listed order before your message, using the same citation format as inline chips, so nothing changes on the wire or the server. The tray survives saved drafts, stashed prompts, failed sends, edits made while uploads finish, and answering questions. While a question is pending, new citations stay inline. Copy prompt link and the message length limit include tray quotes.
  • docs/user/composer.md documents the setting in the quoting section.

Scope and approval

This is one of the citation improvements proposed in Ideas discussion #32570. It is opt-in and the largest of the set, so I'm opening it mainly to show the idea concretely. Happy to cut it down or drop it.

No maintainer has approved this direction yet. This PR makes the proposal in #32570 concrete so it can be judged by looking at it; please treat it as waiting on that approval, and I'll adjust or close it based on the discussion.

Verification

  • Current head 3daafd7c548 merges main 3a30b011c38. Failed-send recovery restores editor text, tray citations, and reply records separately, avoiding duplicate quotes; reply edits participate in the existing draft guard, and replies cannot be discarded by /feedback. Opus 5.5 medium supplied focused merge guidance. Existing regression cases were extended. Web-only typecheck and normal format/lint/knip hooks passed; no local tests or client pass were run. Required CI checks passed on this merge; earlier evidence below applies to its named heads.

  • Maria takeover verification on 9a7b62eecd6: merged main, which fixes the prior bootService type error, and fixed tray comment loss on dismissal/editor switching/other-annotation actions. Linux/Chrome with Replay verified dismissal, Cancel, oversized drafts, and deleting another annotation; two independent reviewers approved this head. Required GitHub CI passed (20 successful checks, 10 skipped). The separate Blacksmith changed-file gate never started (startup_failure, no job/logs) and remains unverified; takeover handoff is waiting. Native clients, other providers/browsers, and relay/tunnel were not exercised.

  • Merged main (b015ffd7c2d) into 7bda34f05df. Retained upstream sent-quote embeds and the quote-preview component still used by the tray, including its resize imports. Local-command safeguards remain. Normal format/lint/knip hooks passed; no local tests were rerun. Build and Typecheck failed at its Typecheck step on this merge; the later takeover identifies it as an upstream bootService argument error corrected by main. This prior head was not CI-green.

  • Merged main (479ee74135a) into 52bb122dea7. The only conflict joined adjacent tray-persistence and upstream PR-checkout test groups; both remain. Production code merged automatically. Normal format/lint/knip hooks passed; no local tests were rerun. Required CI checks passed on this merge. CodeRabbit has not reviewed this merge head.

  • Merged main (d835e430dbc) into d2c32896fa9: retained upstream early pending-answer routing and submission target, tray serialization, and the local-command fix. Both submission test groups remain. Normal format/lint/knip commit hooks passed; no local tests were rerun. Required CI checks passed on this merge. CodeRabbit has not reviewed this merge head.

  • Review fix 2400ad40691: local commands read editor text; /clear and Codex /feedback with tray citations are blocked with a warning and preserve the draft. Normal format/lint/knip hooks passed. No local tests were rerun; Required CI checks passed on this fix; CodeRabbit review is pending.

  • Merged main (9cd7a047971) into 4efd508c754, retaining tray transfer callbacks while adopting upstream send-result/focus handling. Both sets of existing tests remain; upload ordering and draft guards merged automatically. Normal commit hooks (format, lint, knip) passed; no local tests were rerun. Required CI checks passed on this merge. CodeRabbit has not reviewed the merge head.

  • Maria's independent exact-head verification on 0dcdbe5db1 reports real Linux/Chrome and Codex checks for tray creation/editing, inline moves, deletion, reload, stash/restore, ordered submission, and clearing after send. She reports 169 focused tests and four browser tests passed. Her report lists platform and real-provider scenario limits; no source changes were needed.

  • Prior head 0dcdbe5db1 merges main through ad9e87111f. The send-order conflict retains upstream attachment uploads and checks for draft/tray edits after waiting for uploads, before declining approvals. Opus 5.5 reviewed the resolution with no findings. Commit formatting, lint, and unused-code hooks passed after refreshing locked dependencies. No local test suite ran; CI finished on this head: 20 checks passed, 8 skipped, and one native-fingerprint job was cancelled; the required gate is green. Prior CI passed on c46258ee98; earlier test results below apply to their named heads.

  • composerDraftStore, composerSubmission, composerSend.logic, queuedMessageEdit, promptStashStore, copyPromptLink, and ChatView.logic tests cover storing, sending in order, failed-send recovery, edits during uploads, the length limit, queued edits, stash round trips, and prompt links for tray citations. The citation draft browser test covers Cite in tray mode opening the comment popup, Save, Cancel, and staying inline while a question is pending.

  • Observed results: focused tray-fix tests (31) and tray browser tests (8) pass. vp run check:changed passed again on 305676da66 after consolidating file-only and citation-only queue recovery cases; production behavior is unchanged. Current-head CI passed. Main merge 9de910e94f removed the obsolete plan-follow-up wiring with main's plan-mode removal (feat(settings): clean up Labs: promote tool calls, remove plan mode and old toggles #33131).

  • Not checked: mobile (it displays saved citations but doesn't create them), the Electron desktop shell, browsers other than Chromium, and real provider turns. The replay provider stands in for those.

  • Screenshots: isolated dev server with an empty database and a free Replay (dev) reply, headless Chromium (Playwright) at 1280×800, dark theme. Two citations with the comments "first" and "second". Before is e455200077 (main, inline only); after is 2f04bffa65 with the tray setting on. The tray popup screenshots below are from 7c494edc11, after the icon-button change. The other review fixes don't change these states.

Before: citations inline in the prompt After: citations in the tray
Before: two inline citation chips in the composer After: a "2 annotations" pill above an empty prompt

The opened tray, then the setting:

After: tray popup listing both quotes with comments and edit / insert inline / delete icon buttons

After: hovering the insert-inline icon shows an "Insert inline" tooltip

Settings → Chat: "New citations go" set to "In the tray"

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The optional citation tray retains inline citations as the default and carries quotes through sending, drafts, and stashes. It adds a lint suppression in AssistantCitationTray.tsx that requires human review; the reported upload-time citation edit-loss finding also remains open.

The buttons in the tray pop-up listing the quotes and comments (the edit, insert line, and delete buttons) are really ugly. Make those buttons be the same as the buttons that pop up when you're actually citing and you're typing:

  • the same trash can
  • create an edit pencil
  • think of a different icon to insert in line
  • use tooltips via text to say what each does

Walkthrough

The composer adds a citation tray and a setting for new citation destinations. Tray citations persist with drafts and stashes, appear before prompt text when serialized, and are included in send and recovery flows.

Changes: Composer Citation Tray

Layer / File(s) Summary
Persist tray citations
apps/web/src/composerDraftStore.ts, apps/web/src/composerDraftStore.test.ts, apps/web/src/promptStashStore.ts, apps/web/src/promptStashStore.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/useComposerStash.ts
Drafts and stashes persist validated tray citations. Moving, clearing, and restoring composer content also updates citations.
Select and manage citation destinations
apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.citationDraft.browser.test.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/AssistantCitationChip.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/AssistantCitationCommentEditor.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/AssistantCitationTray.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/citationDestination.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/CitationDestinationSetting.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/SettingsPanels.tsx, docs/user/composer.md
Citation comments can target the tray. The composer displays tray citations and supports editing, deleting, clearing, and inline insertion. A Composer setting controls the default destination.
Serialize citations and restore composer state
apps/web/src/components/ChatView.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/ChatView.logic.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/composerSubmission.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/composerSubmission.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/composerSend.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/composerSend.logic.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/useComposerSend.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/chatViewSend.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/useMultipleModelSend.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/queuedMessageEdit.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/queuedMessageEdit.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx, apps/web/src/components/promptLinks/copyPromptLink.ts, apps/web/src/components/promptLinks/copyPromptLink.test.ts
Tray citations count as sendable content and serialize before the prompt. Send snapshots and recovery paths preserve tray citations and the original draft prompt. /side submission is rejected when tray citations are present.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is detailed and covers the problem, the change, scope and approval, and verification. It explains that the feature is an opt-in citation tray that answers the proposal in Ideas discussion #32570. Its Scope and approval section says no maintainer has approved the direction yet. The Verification section lists focused and browser test results, CI status, a takeover verification, and screenshots. The description is long and contains many merge-history notes that make it hard to read. Its Problem section also does not state the expected behavior or reproduction steps. The template asks for a conventional commit title, and the description does not show one. The author states that the proposal awaits maintainer approval, which the template requires for a feature of this size. Because the scope approval is missing, the description is not ready for merge.

Resolution

  1. Link the triaged issue or the maintainer discussion that approves this direction and scope, and include the approval comment. The author says no approval exists yet, so this item blocks the PR. 2. Add a conventional commit title in plain language, such as "feat(web): add optional citation tray". 3. Rewrite the Problem section to state the expected behavior and the current behavior. 4. Shorten the Verification section. Remove the per-commit merge history and keep the test results for the final head. 5. Confirm that the screenshots are uploaded to GitHub and are embedded in the description. Remove any statement that the change was built with a specific model, or keep the statement and place it at the end as the template requests.

@t3dotgg @juliusmarminge this is ready for review: required checks pass on b621458dfe, and all six bot findings are fixed and resolved. It's the opt-in Codex-style citation tray (Settings → Chat → New citations go), and the default keeps inline citations. It's the largest of the set in #32570 and is mainly here to show the idea, so cutting it down or closing it is fine. It still needs your go-ahead on direction.

Re: the tray popup buttons (comment): done in 7c494ed. Edit, Insert inline, and Delete are now ghost icon buttons in the same style as the citation popup, with a pencil, a text-cursor icon for insert inline, and the same trash can. Each one has a text tooltip. Move to tray in the comment editor got the same treatment, with an archive icon. The description has updated screenshots, including the tooltip.

2026-11-11 takeover update for 9a7b62eecd6cdcba7c4fe84a74dd920360532db5

merged current main without rebasing and pushed to the existing contributor branch. the previous build/typecheck failure was bootService.ts:414 calling readSystemdUnitDirectory without its arguments; main already corrected it. no unrelated code fix was needed.

fixed tray comment loss on outside dismissal, switching editors, and deleting or moving another annotation. valid edits use the same dismissal rule as inline citations; cancel discards the edit and oversized drafts stay open. extended the existing citation browser case.

reproduced outside-dismiss loss in chrome before the fix. verified dismissal saves, cancel preserves the saved comment, an 8,001-character draft stays open, and deleting another annotation retains the active edit, using the dev web client and Replay provider conversation. both independent code reviewers approve this exact head. all 30 reported pr check contexts are green, with no conflicts.

blacksmith-check was attempted, including dependency install and vp run check:changed, but its testbox never started: the workflow ended in startup_failure before a job ran and had no logs. the worker was stopped. that required separate check remains unverified, so the takeover handoff is waiting rather than ready. native clients, other providers, other browsers, and relay/tunnel paths were not exercised this run.

tray comment edits survive dismissal; cancel discards the new edit

prior verification follows unchanged:

Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 0dcdbe5db1609a03c4aa1b9d3f3d2f335e65200e on linux using the repo's playwright dependency and /usr/bin/google-chrome, with real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the dev web client and server. no replay provider, fixtures, or mocked responses.

  • reproduced the missing tray on github/main at 6c9adfb273 in a separate worktree: no destination setting, and both citations stayed inline.
  • created a project for a real git repository and a conversation through the app. stopped main's dev server, then ran the exact pr head with isolated state copied from that app-created conversation.
  • confirmed inline is the default; enabled the tray in settings, created citations from selected assistant text, saved and edited comments, moved citations between inline and tray, and deleted individual annotations. cancel discarded the draft comment and retained the quote as intended.
  • reload and ctrl+s stash/restore preserved both quotes, their order, comments, and prompt text. clear all removed annotations while preserving typed text. switching back to inline created an inline chip without a tray.
  • sent two tray citations with a message through codex. the provider reported the selected texts in order, with comments first and second verified; the composer and tray cleared after sending.
  • blacksmith: 169 tests passed across seven focused files covering draft storage, stash, submission, send logic, queued edits, prompt links, and chat logic. all four citation draft browser tests passed after installing chromium on the worker. existing head ci reports 28 successful contexts with no failing or pending checks. no source changes or push were needed.

before: the same two app-generated quotes and comments inline on main.

before: two inline citation chips on main

after: the same quotes and comments in the pr's tray.

after: citation tray containing both quotes and comments

real codex response confirms quote order and edited comments

Not verified

native ios/android clients, the electron shell, macos/windows, non-chromium browsers, other providers, and relay/tunnel connections were not exercised on this linux vm. pending provider questions, failed-send recovery, message limits, prompt-link export, and edits during attachment uploads were covered by the existing focused checks where applicable, but were not separately reproduced through real provider interactions.

Adds an opt-in citation tray. Tray citations are stored on the composer draft and serialized ahead of the prompt at send time, and they carry through drafts, stashes, retries and prompt links. The data flow is careful, and the earlier bot findings look addressed on this head. One behavior gap remains.

  1. Medium: local slash commands stop working while the tray has citations. getSendContext().prompt is now submissionPrompt(), which prepends the tray, and useComposerSend.ts:573 uses it as promptForSend. trimmed is derived from that string, so isClearComposerCommand(trimmed) and parseCodexFeedbackCommand(trimmed) no longer match. Those parsers anchor on ^/clear and ^/feedback, and the text now starts with the serialized citations. With the tray non-empty, a composer that visibly holds only /clear sends a real turn to the agent containing the quotes followed by a literal "/clear", instead of arming a fresh session. /feedback ... is likewise sent as a message instead of uploading feedback. /side is guarded ("Side chats take text only"); these two paths aren't. Parse local commands from the editor text (promptAtSend), and either keep the tray for the next message or block with the same kind of toast as /side. Include trayCitations.length in composerHoldsOnlyText and in the feedback precondition too.

  2. Low: the setting is stored outside client settings. citationDestination.ts:5 keeps the setting in a raw localStorage key, while the other Settings → Chat options live in ClientSettingsSchema. That means it won't follow whatever reset, sync or desktop persistence the client settings get. If that's intentional for an experiment, a comment would help. Otherwise, adding it to the client settings schema keeps it consistent.

  3. Low: this PR also changes non-tray sends. The "draft changed since send" guard used to run only when approvals were pending. It now runs for every send (useComposerSend.ts, the hunk moving draftChangedSinceSend above the approvals branch). That's needed for the tray fix, but it also applies "Your message changed, so it wasn't sent." to ordinary sends, for example an edit during the draft-hero dock await. A test showing a normal send with no tray and no approvals is unaffected would make that explicit.

Process: as the description says, this is still waiting on maintainer direction in #32570.

Addressed the command bug in 2400ad40691 and resolved its inline thread. On the two low-priority notes:

  • Keeping citation destination as a device-local opt-in through the existing useLocalStorage hook for this proposal. It intentionally does not participate in client-settings reset/sync; moving it can follow maintainer direction on the feature.
  • Keeping the unconditional changed-draft guard. An edit during the asynchronous dock must not be cleared by the older send, even without tray citations or approvals. An unchanged normal draft still passes the comparison; no additional wrapper test or send-path machinery added.

Linked the takeover update in Verification and corrected the stale head/CI notes. Current required CI is green; the separate Blacksmith gate remains unverified because no job started. Keeping that distinction and the handoff marked waiting. No additional code changes or local tests.
