Problem

In the new-thread hero's project picker ("What should we build in …?"), Add project is appended after every project. With many projects the list overflows, so you have to scroll to the bottom every time you want to add one. In the "before" capture below, 19 projects push it about 320px below the fold.

Expected: Add project precedes the project entries.

Change

DraftHeroHeadline now puts the Add project item first in pickerItems instead of last. That is the only change.

• Searching still hides Add project (existing filter), so typing then Enter still picks the first matching project.
• useOrderWhileOpen keys rows by value, so pinning from a row still keeps rows in place while the picker is open.
• Surfaces: desktop wraps this web component. Mobile already shows Add project as a header button on the new-task screen, so it needs no change. The sidebar's project picker is a thread filter with no Add project row.

Scope and approval

There is no prior issue or discussion. I'm submitting it as a very small, focused fix: one array reordered in one component, with no new setting, workflow, or contract change. Its only effect is that an existing action no longer sits below a scrolling list. If maintainers would rather treat it as a product-direction change, I'm happy to move it to an Ideas discussion.

Verification

Ran vp run dev against isolated dev state with 19 generic fixture projects, opened a new-thread draft, and opened the hero project picker (dark mode, 1280×800).

Current-head captures above use matching dev data at 1440×1000.

Also checked in the running app:

• Option order on open, before the change: server, feature-flags, …, api-gateway, Add project. The list was 644px tall in a 325px viewport.
• Option order on open, after the change: Add project, server, feature-flags, ….
• Typing serv after the change shows only server, search-service, auth-service, billing-service, with server highlighted. Add project is hidden as before.
• vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck, and React compiler.

Not checked: the packaged Electron desktop build and the "No project" scratch-draft variant of this picker. The dev setup had no scratch workspace root, but that variant renders the same pickerItems list.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 274f882

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — “Add project” moves to the top of the draft project picker. The active project selection, search filtering, and action handlers remain unchanged, limiting the impact to menu ordering.

Users with a later project selected may need to scroll back to find Add project. This is a bounded usability issue that can be addressed in follow-up.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It states the problem and expected behavior, and it describes the one-line reorder of pickerItems in the Change section. The Scope and approval section explains why the change qualifies as a very small, focused fix without a prior issue, and it names the risk that maintainers may treat it as a product-direction change. The Verification section gives the commands run, the observed option order before and after, the search behavior, and what was not checked. It includes before and after screenshots and names the model used. The author's reasoning for the small-fix exemption is a judgment call for maintainers, but the required sections are substantively complete.

- Around line 167-168: Keep the Add project option visible when the picker
opens, even when Base UI scrolls to the active project in the long menuEntries
list. Update the picker layout or scroll behavior around ADD_PROJECT_VALUE so
that option remains accessible without scrolling, while preserving the existing
project entries and selection behavior.

Note

merged current main without conflicts or rebasing and pushed 2e2d91cf4a to the existing fork branch. the diff remains one insertion and one deletion in DraftHeroHeadline.tsx.

all 32 checks are green, with no conflicts. blacksmith vp run check:changed passed format, lint, knip, affected-package typechecks and react compiler. the previously failing right-panel swipe test and existing ordering tests pass (3 tests).

verified in the real web app: add project appears first, searching serv hides it, enter selects the matching project, and add project opens the sources dialog. matching before/after captures are in the pr body. two independent code reviews approved this head.

the bot's selected-project auto-scroll finding describes pre-existing base-ui behavior; pinning the action would expand this ordering-only change, so it remains unchanged.

packaged electron and native mobile were not exercised. desktop shares this web component; mobile is unchanged.

[binjamshid]

Moving Add project to the top of pickerItems fixes the overflow problem described, and the change is contained: the search filter in filteredPickerItems still drops ADD_PROJECT_VALUE, so typing then Enter still lands on the first matching project, and useOrderWhileOpen keys by value so pin-in-place is unaffected.

No defects found. One observation, not a blocker:

1. (low) apps/web/src/components/chat/DraftHeroHeadline.tsx:167 — with an empty query, ArrowDown from the search input now lands on Add project before any project, so keyboard users opening the picker to switch projects take one extra keystroke. That seems an acceptable trade for the fix; just worth confirming it matches what maintainers want, since the active project is no longer the nearest row either.

Process: there is no linked issue or discussion; this is a small UI ordering change, so a maintainer may want to confirm the placement as product direction (the PR already offers to move it to Ideas).
