The phone app drops duplicated buttons and desktop-only options: one search field, one menu per screen, short thread menus, and a settings list of seven rows instead of seventeen. A thread's states, counters, branches and PRs stay on screen.

thread list on a phone, before then after: the heading, the search icon and the folder button are gone

what changed

  • List: no "Conversations" heading or search icon; display options sit in the search field; Add a project is the picker's last row.
  • Navigation menu: machine, Conversations, Activity, Settings; the project choice and New thread stay in the header.
  • Display options on a phone: View and Group only.
  • Thread header: Back and the title menu; Back carries a dot while another thread waits.
  • Thread menu: panel, Pin, Rename, Find, Subagents when there are some, Archive, Delete (thread-menu.ts).
  • Message buttons show under the last prompt and answer, on any other after a tap; no fork (message-reveal.svelte.ts).
  • The model chip shows the model only.
  • Settings: This phone (Notifications, Appearance, Privacy) and Machine (machine, Usage with Limits as a tab, Voice, Archived threads).
  • Activity, Agents and the panel sheet lose their duplicate heading, switch and maximize button.
  • Message rows are counted at the height they are drawn, fractions kept: rounded heights added up to a 1.3 px slide of the reader once older buttons hid (MessageList.svelte).

to question

The pages that left the phone list (Brain, Task manager, Protection, Worktrees, compaction, Diagnostics, Experiments) still open from a link or a card; nothing left the RPC surface.

verified

  • bun run check: 0 errors; 225 UI tests in 25 files pass.
  • Phone e2e (mobile 16 of 16 and 30 more files) pass; phone-net's pasted-link test fails the same way on main.
  • Desktop at 1440x900 before and after: the thread is identical to the pixel.
  • e2e run one file at a time on the merged head: usage 5, mobile 16, thread-reopen 2, history-window 2, chat-scroll 16, all pass; the new MessageList test fails with rounding.
  • not verified: a physical phone, the Android app, iOS.

Conflicts in docs/phone.md with #598 are resolved on whichever merges second.

Bundle size

uiEntryChunk +13,509 bytes (2.74 %), but the page loads the entry and boot together and they grow 2,337 bytes (0.22 %) between them: boot loses 11,172. The phone navigation chunk no longer imports ProjectViews and project-menu, so project-menu, menu, RailHead, SurfaceSwitch, work-counts, agent-directory and four icons stop being shared with a lazy chunk and leave boot for the entry (codeSplitting in vite.config.ts). The 2,337 bytes are the phone's own changes, message-reveal.svelte.ts among them. uiDist +348 bytes (0.01 %). Sizes against main 7593ddca, both built here; source maps show which modules moved.

📝 Walkthrough

The pull request revises phone navigation, settings, and conversation controls. It updates phone-specific thread actions and message-action visibility, adjusts responsive layouts, and changes related tests, documentation, and the UI entry-chunk budget.

Changes: Phone interface

Layer / File(s) Summary
Phone navigation and project controls
docs/phone.md, packages/ui/src/components/MobileNavigation.svelte, packages/ui/src/components/MobileMenu.svelte, packages/ui/src/lib/thread-menu.ts, packages/ui/src/app/*, tests/e2e/lib/mobile.ts, tests/e2e/*
Phone navigation combines project selection, recent-project filtering, search, and compact display options. Thread rows use phone-specific actions. The mobile dialog no longer provides project selection or new-thread controls. Related tests and English and French labels are updated. The UI entry-chunk budget and measurement record also change.
Phone settings and settings navigation
docs/phone.md, packages/ui/src/components/MobileSettings.svelte, packages/ui/src/components/AppearancePage.svelte, packages/ui/src/components/ConversationSwitches.svelte, packages/ui/src/lib/strings.*.ts, tests/e2e/*
Phone Settings groups device preferences and machine options, adds a Privacy page, and provides Usage and Limits tabs. Phone Appearance hides selected desktop controls and includes a chat-artifacts switch. Settings tests and phone navigation helpers reflect these screens.
Conversation controls and message actions
packages/ui/src/components/MessageList.svelte, packages/ui/src/lib/message-reveal.svelte.ts, packages/ui/src/components/ThreadHeader.svelte, packages/ui/src/components/MessageActions.svelte, packages/ui/src/components/ComposerBar.svelte, packages/ui/src/components/ModelPicker.svelte, packages/ui/src/components/RightPanel.svelte, packages/ui/src/components/Surface*.svelte, tests/e2e/*
Phone thread menus include a panel action and a reduced set of thread actions. Tapping a message can reveal its actions; older unrevealed messages hide actions and settled receipts. Phone layouts also hide selected controls, and message-list measurements retain fractional row heights.

62-66: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the real paired-phone Task Manager coverage.

The phone branch now checks only that Settings omits the Task Manager row. Use the existing e2e test hook to open the page on the paired phone. Retain assertions that the page has no process-stop controls and that selecting an agent opens the thread.

Suggested fix
-    // The task manager is the desktop's: a paired phone's settings list keeps to its essentials.
-    await mobileAction(phone, 'mobile-settings');
-    await phone.waitFor(`document.querySelector('[data-testid=mobile-settings-home]')`);
-    expect(await phone.evaluate(`document.querySelector('[data-testid=settings-tab-task-manager]') === null`)).toBe(true);
-    await phone.screenshot(join(import.meta.dir, '.artifacts', 'task-manager-phone.png'));
+    for (const from of ['mobile-conversations', 'mobile-activity']) {
+      await mobileAction(phone, from);
+      await phone.waitFor(`document.querySelector('[data-testid=mobile-list]')`);
+      await phone.evaluate(`globalThis.__boiteTest.workspace.active.showSettings('task-manager')`);
+      await phone.waitFor(`document.querySelector('${selector}')`);
+      expect(await phone.evaluate(`document.querySelector('${selector} .actions') === null`)).toBe(true);
+      expect(await phone.evaluate(`document.documentElement.scrollWidth <= window.innerWidth`)).toBe(true);
+      await phone.evaluate('document.fonts.ready');
+      await phone.screenshot(join(import.meta.dir, '.artifacts', 'task-manager-phone.png'));
+      await phone.click(`${selector} .title`);
+      await phone.waitFor(`document.querySelector('.app.phone-chat') && !document.querySelector('[data-testid=mobile-list]') && !document.querySelector('[data-testid=task-manager]') && document.querySelector('[data-testid=composer-input]')`);
+      expect(await phone.evaluate(`document.querySelector('[data-testid=thread-title]')?.textContent`)).toBe(history.title);
+    }

The component test uses a fake client. It does not replace this real paired-session coverage. Preserve this coverage when removing the Settings row.

Fixed in 9b4aedf, through the path a paired phone really has rather than the __boiteTest hook, which this production-UI test does not load. The phone's settings list still has no Task manager row; an echo turn runs, settings.request puts a task-manager card in the thread, the phone taps setting-open, and the old checks hold: no stop controls on the row, no horizontal overflow, and tapping the row title opens the thread. bun test tests/e2e/task-manager.test.ts: 1 pass.

#614 split strings.en.ts and strings.fr.ts into one file per part. When git merge origin/main stops on them, run bun scripts/migrate/split-catalogues.ts: it replays this branch's catalogue edits onto main's parts and stages them. A part both sides changed on the same lines keeps conflict markers.

The phone menu keeps Contacts beside #601's leaner set. SyncBackoff.failed
takes a mark since #640: a contact link failure passes the current one, so it
counts as before. GroupStore.relisten fits one line to keep group.ts under
the 900-line ceiling.
ChrisPlayer added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 25, 2026
Experiments are kept per device, and #601 took the phone's Experiments row
out of its settings list. Bots switched on on the computer then left the
phone's bottom bar without its Bots tab, with no way to turn it on there.
docs/experiments.md still promised the row.
