Problem

Undoing a thread action (settle, snooze, archive, unpin, or a discarded draft) with Ctrl+Z or the sidebar's "Ctrl+Z to undo" button gives screen reader users no feedback. The thread comes back, but nothing is announced, so they can't tell whether the undo worked. Only a failed undo is announced, through its error toast.

In showThreadUndoNotice.ts, undo() clears the notice through refreshNotice() → setNotice(null), which cancels the pending "thread-undo-notice" announcement and announces nothing in its place. The shortcut and the button both go through the notice's undo(), so both are silent.

Fixes #33345

Change

• Each undo in the group now reports whether it succeeded. Once they finish, the hook announces the reverse of the action with the number that succeeded: "Unsettled 1 thread", "Unsnoozed 2 threads", "Pinned 1 thread", "Unarchived 1 thread", "Restored 1 draft".
• Failed and interrupted undos announce nothing new. Failures keep their existing error toast.
• The result is announced without a source, so it never replaces another pending message. A "…, Ctrl+Z to undo" notice shown while the undo is still running stays queued, and so does the result of a second undo that finishes before the first result is spoken.

Mobile's undo notice (apps/mobile/src/features/home/thread-undo-notice.ts) has no screen reader announcements at all, including for the original notice. That is a separate gap and is not part of this PR.

Scope and approval

#33345 is not triaged yet. This is a small, focused fix for an obvious bug, so it fits the "very small, focused fix for an obvious bug" exception in CONTRIBUTING.md:

• The issue already identifies the cause.
• The fix touches one web hook and its existing test file.
• It does not change any contract, server code, or visible UI.

The fix follows the issue's suggestion: announce a confirmation when the undo runs, using the action and count the notice already holds.

Verification

I extended apps/web/src/hooks/showThreadUndoNotice.test.ts:

• Existing announcement case: after undoing two unpins, the last announcement is "Pinned 2 threads", with no source.
• New case: two settles where one undo throws. It expects one error toast and the announcement "Unsettled 1 thread", so only the successful undo is counted.

Results:

• Without the fix (main's showThreadUndoNotice.ts, new tests): vp test run apps/web/src/hooks/showThreadUndoNotice.test.ts gives Tests 2 failed | 3 passed (5). Both failures are the missing undo announcement.
• With the fix: vp test run apps/web/src/hooks/showThreadUndoNotice.test.ts apps/web/src/hooks/useThreadActions.undo.test.ts apps/web/src/hooks/threadUndo.test.ts gives Tests 33 passed (33).
• vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (2 packages), tests, and React compiler all pass.

Not checked: I didn't listen with a real screen reader. The change is a call to the existing announce() helper, which other screen reader announcements already use. There is no visible UI change, so there are no screenshots.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at cdf9d59

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Screen readers now announce successful thread-action undos, including the number restored. The change is limited to accessibility feedback and preserves existing undo behavior.

Walkthrough

Undo notices now announce the inverse action and the number of successful undo operations. Failed operations continue to report errors and do not count toward the result announcement.

Changes: Thread undo announcements

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Inverse action wording apps/web/src/hooks/showThreadUndoNotice.ts	The summary helper accepts an optional verb and maps undoable actions to inverse wording.
Successful undo results apps/web/src/hooks/showThreadUndoNotice.ts, apps/web/src/hooks/showThreadUndoNotice.test.ts	The hook records each undo outcome, reports failures, and announces the inverse action with the successful count when at least one undo succeeds. Tests cover full, partial, and zero success.

Explanation

Issue [#33345] requires a screen-reader confirmation after a successful web undo. showThreadUndoNotice.ts counts successful undo results and announces the matching inverse action (Unsettled, Unsnoozed, Pinned, Unarchived, or Restored) with the successful count. It announces nothing when no undo succeeds. The tests cover a successful undo, a partial failure, and an all-failure batch.

Test a group with no successful undos.

The existing announcement tests include at least one successful undo. Add a failure-only case to catch a regression that announces a result alongside the error toast.

Suggested fix

     expect(announce).toHaveBeenLastCalledWith("Unsettled 1 thread", "thread-undo-result");
+
+    showThreadUndoNotice({
+      ...options,
+      action: "Settled",

@coderabbitai Addressed the nitpick about a group with no successful undos in 9475ea0821. The "announces only the undos that succeeded" case now also undoes a group whose only undo fails, and it asserts a second error toast and no announcement. Changing the guard to count >= 0 makes that assertion fail; with the guard as written, all 5 tests pass, and so does vp run check:changed.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@0xKa Thanks for adding the all-failure case. The reported guard change also shows that the new assertion catches an announcement when no undo succeeds.

Thanks for this. Main has the change since #25901.

Main now confirms successful undos for settle, snooze, unpin, archive, and draft discard through both the shortcut and sidebar button. Compared the full diff of #33716: main also counts only successful restores, preserves failure toasts, stays silent when none succeed, and queues confirmations without a source; only the announcement wording differs.

Closing as superseded.
