# `features/chat-messages/` — Architecture

> arriving and its rendering inside the chat UI: the timeline (the
> agent's process — reasoning + every tool call), and the HITL
> primitives that per-tool components compose to render approval views.
>
> It does **NOT** own: the thread shell, the composer, the streaming

> `user-message.tsx`, markdown renderer, citations), the comments
> sidebar, or any of the 63 individual tool-ui integration files
> under `components/tool-ui/`.

## 1. Mental model
Every assistant message has two regions:
| Region | What it shows |
|---|---|
| **Timeline** | The agent's *process* . Reasoning, every tool call, grouped by delegation `spanId` into a tree. Each tool call is rendered by its registered component, which selects its own view (running, awaiting approval, success, error, etc.) by discriminating its `result` data. |
| **Body** | The agent's *product* . Markdown text, citations, native reasoning blocks, and value-add deliverables (image viewer, chart, canvas). Connector tool cards do NOT render here. |
**Principle: timeline = process, body = product. No overlap.**
A tool's UI lives in the body **if and only if** it produces a deliverable
the user wants to interact with — view, scrub, copy, share. If the UI
just shows that the tool ran and what it did, it lives in the timeline.
```

## 2. The single data model
The timeline reads ONE data structure: a `TimelineItem[]` . There are
no parallel structures for "thinking steps", "tool calls", "HITL
bundles", etc. Every visible piece of agent activity is a `TimelineItem` .
### 2.1 The discriminated union (outer discrimination)
Two kinds. The timeline does **outer discrimination** — it chooses
reasoning view vs tool-call mounting based on `kind` .
```ts
type ItemStatus =
| "pending" | "running" | "completed" | "cancelled" | "error";
interface BaseItem {
id: string;
spanId?: string; // groups items into delegation tree (parent task + children)
status: ItemStatus;
}
interface ReasoningItem extends BaseItem {
kind: "reasoning";
text: string;
}
interface ToolCallItem extends BaseItem {
kind: "tool-call";
toolName: string;
args: Record< string , unknown > ;
argsText?: string;
result?: unknown; // per-tool component discriminates this internally
langchainToolCallId?: string;
}
type TimelineItem = ReasoningItem | ToolCallItem;
interface TimelineGroup {
parent: TimelineItem;
children: TimelineItem[];
}
```
**`ToolCallItem` has no `approval` field, no `phase` , no `view` .** All of
that is derived inside the per-tool component from the result data.
### 2.2 Inner discrimination (per-tool component)
Each tool registers a component that receives the tool-call data and
decides what to render based on its own result-shape discriminators:
```tsx
const UpdateNotionPageToolUI: TimelineToolComponent = (props) => {
if (isInterruptResult(props.result)) return < NotionApprovalCard { . . . props } / > ;
if (isAuthErrorResult(props.result)) return < NotionAuthErrorCard { . . . props } / > ;
if (isErrorResult(props.result)) return < NotionErrorCard { . . . props } / > ;
if (isInfoResult(props.result)) return < NotionNotFoundCard { . . . props } / > ;
if (isSuccessResult(props.result)) return < NotionSuccessCard { . . . props } / > ;
return < NotionPendingCard { . . . props } / > ;
};
```
The discriminators (`isInterruptResult` , `isAuthErrorResult` , etc.)
are **types, not centralized infrastructure** . The component owns
the dispatch. The timeline knows none of this.
### 2.3 The pure builder
```ts
function buildTimeline(
content: MessageContent[],
thinkingSteps: ThinkingStep[],
): TimelineGroup[]
```
Builds the timeline from existing message content + thinking-step data
parts. Pure function. Sets `kind` and `status` on each item; preserves
`result` verbatim for per-tool discrimination.
### 2.4 The dispatch (timeline-level)
Two cases. Exhaustive switch. No runtime guards in the timeline renderer.
```tsx
function TimelineItemView({ item }: { item: TimelineItem }) {
switch (item.kind) {
case "reasoning": return < ReasoningItemView item = {item} / > ;
case "tool-call": return < ToolCallItemView item = {item} / > ;
}
}
function ToolCallItemView({ item }: { item: ToolCallItem }) {
const ToolBody = getToolComponent(item.toolName) ?? FallbackToolBody;
return < ToolBody { . . . adaptItemToProps ( item ) } / > ;
}
```
**No card frame, header, body slot, approval area, or result panel
at the timeline level.** Each tool component owns its own visual
presentation. This matches how every existing tool-ui component
already works — they each render their own rounded card with their
own header.
---
## 3. The timeline's tool-component contract
Tool components mounted by the timeline implement a subset of
assistant-ui's `ToolCallMessagePartProps` — only the fields the
timeline can supply:
```ts
interface TimelineToolProps {
toolCallId: string;
toolName: string;
args: Record< string , unknown > ;
argsText?: string;
result?: unknown;
langchainToolCallId?: string;
status: ItemStatus; // simple enum, not assistant-ui's complex status object
}
type TimelineToolComponent = (props: TimelineToolProps) => ReactNode;
```
Notably absent (compared to `ToolCallMessagePartProps` ):
- `addResult` , `resume` — runtime-only, not needed; HITL decisions
2026-05-09 18:31:16 +02:00
flow through `useHitlDecision` , which either stages in the active
bundle (N≥2) or fires the `hitl-decision` window event the page
listens for (N=1). The hook reads `useToolCallIdContext()` to know
which call is dispatching.
2026-05-09 14:39:44 +02:00
- The complex `status: ToolCallMessagePartState["status"]` object —
replaced by our simple `ItemStatus` enum.
The 15 existing HITL-aware tool-ui components only use the subset
above. They are **retyped** to `TimelineToolComponent` in the cutover
commit (mechanical: `ToolCallMessagePartComponent` → `TimelineToolComponent` ).
---
## 4. Rendering topology — how the body opts out
The body uses assistant-ui's `MessagePrimitive.Parts` and registers a
**no-op fallback** for tool calls so they don't render here:
```tsx
< MessagePrimitive.Parts
components={{
Text: MarkdownText,
Reasoning,
Source,
}}
tools={{
by_name: BODY_TOOLS, // value-add deliverables only (image viewer, etc.)
fallback: () => null, // every other tool-call: render nothing in the body
}}
/>
```
`BODY_TOOLS` starts empty (no value-add deliverables exist yet) and
grows as we identify them. Every tool not in `BODY_TOOLS` renders
nothing in the body.
The timeline reads message content via `useAuiState(({ message }) =>
message?.content)` and runs ` buildTimeline` to produce the items it
renders. Tool-call data IS in the message; the body just chooses not
to render it.
**Result:** zero dual placement. Zero suppression HOC. Zero
2026-05-09 18:31:16 +02:00
render-target context. Zero pager HOC.
---
## 4a. Multi-approval coordination (the bundle + pager)
When N HITL interrupts are pending in the same assistant turn (e.g. an
agent fires multiple gated tool calls in parallel), the LangGraph
runtime expects **one resume call with N decisions in order** . Per-card
independent submission isn't possible without backend changes.
The slice handles this with a single React state container,
`HitlBundleProvider` , mounted once at the thread root by the page that
owns the runtime (currently `app/dashboard/.../new-chat/page.tsx` and
`components/free-chat/free-chat-page.tsx` ):
```tsx
< HitlBundleProvider
toolCallIds={pendingInterrupt?.bundleToolCallIds ?? null}
onSubmit={handleBundleSubmit} // page-owned: dispatches the actual resume
>
{/* Thread + Timeline + approval cards mount inside */}
< / HitlBundleProvider >
```
Per-card flow:
1. `tool-call-item.tsx` wraps each mounted tool component in
`<ToolCallIdProvider toolCallId={item.id}>` so `useHitlDecision`
knows which call is dispatching.
2. The user clicks approve/edit/reject on a card.
3. `useHitlDecision().dispatch([decision])` runs:
- **Bundle active (N≥2):** stages the decision under this card's
`toolCallId` and fires a `hitl-stage` event so the card's local
result mirror updates immediately (UX continuity — no re-prompt
if user navigates back via the pager).
- **No bundle (N=1):** dispatches the `hitl-decision` event
directly — single-decision fast path.
4. When all N decisions are staged, the user clicks "Submit decisions"
on the pager chrome. `bundle.submit()` dispatches the `hitl-decision`
event with the full ordered array. The page's listener calls
`runtime.resume({ resume: orderedDecisions })` once.
### Pager UX (kept, not deleted)
When a bundle is active (N≥2), only ONE approval card is visible at a
time — the current step. Other bundle members are hidden until the user
navigates to them. A small pager chrome (prev/next + "Step X / N" +
"Submit decisions" button) renders once at the end of the timeline.
Where the responsibilities live:
- **`tool-call-item.tsx` ** (timeline) — checks `useHitlBundle()` . If
the item is in an active bundle but not the current step, returns
null. Otherwise wraps the per-tool component in `ToolCallIdProvider`
and mounts it.
- **`timeline.tsx` ** — renders `<PagerChrome />` once at the bottom,
conditional on `useHitlBundle()` being non-null.
- **`hitl/bundle/pager-chrome.tsx` ** — pure presentational component;
reads bundle state, renders nav + Submit. No knowledge of the timeline.
This is **the only Provider in the slice.** It's a state container, not
a behavior HOC: nothing wraps individual cards. The hide-if-not-current
decision is made at the single mount point (`tool-call-item.tsx` ), not
distributed across N HOC wrappers.
What was deleted vs kept here:
- **Deleted:** `withBundleStep` HOC. Its two responsibilities (hide
non-current cards; render pager after current card) split into the
two correct places: `tool-call-item.tsx` and `timeline.tsx`
respectively. No HOC to compose.
- **Kept (ported as-is to the slice):** `HitlBundleProvider` ,
`useHitlBundle` , `ToolCallIdProvider` , `useToolCallIdContext` ,
`BundleSubmit` , `HitlBundleAPI` , `PagerChrome` .

### 5.1 Notable absences
| Was | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| `tool-cards/` slice | **Folded into `timeline/`** | Tool-call rendering happens in the timeline; the tool-registry is private to timeline. |
| `bundleTool` composer | **Deleted** | Body opts out via `fallback: () => null` . No HOCs to compose. |
| `withDelegationSpanIndent` HOC | **Deleted** | Tree indent is owned by the timeline's group renderer. |
2026-05-09 18:31:16 +02:00
| `withBundleStep` HOC | **Deleted** | Two responsibilities split into the right places: hide-if-not-current → `tool-call-item.tsx` ; render pager after current card → `timeline.tsx` . No HOC. |
| `HitlBundleProvider` + `useHitlBundle` + `PagerChrome` | **Kept** (state container + presentational chrome, not HOCs) | Backend constraint: parallel interrupts need ONE ordered resume call. Provider collects N decisions, pager is the user's submit affordance. |
2026-05-09 14:39:44 +02:00
| `withHitlInTimeline` + `HitlRenderTargetProvider` | **Deleted** | Tool cards never render in body; no dual-placement to suppress. |
| `pickApprovalCard` central dispatcher | **Deleted** | Each tool component picks its own view via internal discrimination. The fallback has its OWN internal dispatcher (interrupt → generic-approval; doom-loop → doom-loop-approval). |
| `getHitlToolComponent` registry | **Deleted** | The tool-registry is just a `Record<string, TimelineToolComponent>` ; lookup is `TOOLS_BY_NAME[name]` . |
| Centralized `approval-area.tsx` in timeline | **Deleted** | The approval is a view the per-tool component renders, not an area the timeline composes. |
| `ApprovalState` on `ToolCallItem` | **Deleted** | Phase is local UI state inside per-tool approval cards (via `useHitlPhase` ). The timeline doesn't track it. |
| `ThinkingStepToolInfoMap` Map join | **Deleted** | The unified `TimelineItem` union eliminates the join. |
---
## 6. Public surfaces
### `timeline/index.ts`
```ts
export { TimelineDataUI }; // the assistant-ui registration
export { Timeline }; // exposed for tests
export type { TimelineItem, ReasoningItem, ToolCallItem, TimelineGroup, ItemStatus };
export type { TimelineToolComponent, TimelineToolProps };
```
### `hitl/index.ts`
```ts
export type { InterruptResult, InterruptActionRequest, InterruptReviewConfig, HitlDecision, HitlPhase };
export { isInterruptResult };
export { useHitlDecision };
export { useHitlPhase };
2026-05-09 18:31:16 +02:00
export { HitlBundleProvider, ToolCallIdProvider, useHitlBundle, useToolCallIdContext };
export { PagerChrome };
export type { BundleSubmit, HitlBundleAPI };
2026-05-09 14:39:44 +02:00
export { GenericHitlApprovalToolUI }; // for tool-ui integrations that want to compose on top
export { DoomLoopApprovalToolUI, isDoomLoopInterrupt };
export { HitlEditPanel, MobileHitlEditPanel };
export { openHitlEditPanelAtom, closeHitlEditPanelAtom, hitlEditPanelAtom };
export type { ExtraField };
```
The 63 `components/tool-ui/*` integrations consume `hitl/` 's public
surface (types, hooks, edit-panel atom, optionally the fallback
approval cards). Nothing else.
---
## 7. Layering & SRP rules
### 7.1 The "what knows about what" rule
| Component | Knows about |
|---|---|
| `timeline/` | Itself + `hitl/` (via the fallback) + `components/tool-ui/*` (via the registry) |
| `timeline/tool-registry/` | The `TimelineToolComponent` contract, `components/tool-ui/*` , and `hitl/` (for the fallback's approval views) |
| `hitl/` | Itself only — no knowledge of timeline, tool-call types, registry |
| `components/tool-ui/*` | `hitl/` only (for HITL primitives + optional fallback approval cards); never reaches into `timeline/` |
| Body (`assistant-message.tsx` ) | The `BODY_TOOLS` registry and `TimelineDataUI` from `timeline/index.ts` |
`hitl/` does **NOT** import from `timeline/` . The dependency arrow is one-way.
### 7.2 Render policy belongs to the surface, not the primitive
- `hitl/` exposes hooks, types, and the fallback approval cards.
- `timeline/` decides WHEN and WHERE tool components mount (inside
`tool-call-item.tsx` ).
- A `hitl/` primitive must never assume it's being rendered in the
timeline, the body, or anywhere else. It receives props, renders
UI, returns. No environment sniffing, no context.
- Per-tool components in `components/tool-ui/*` decide WHICH view to
render based on result-shape discriminators. The timeline does not
know these discriminators exist.
### 7.3 Single Responsibility
Rules in priority order:
1. **One responsibility per file.** Need "and" to describe it? Split it.
2. **One responsibility per function.** Same.
3. **Line count is a smell, not a budget.** ~250 lines = pause and
ask "still one responsibility?"; ~500 lines = strong presumption
of split needed unless explicitly justified at the top of the file.
Notable splits driven by SRP during the port:
- `hitl-edit-panel.tsx` (current 405 lines, 4 responsibilities) → 5
files: `edit-panel.tsx` (root + layout switch), `email-tags-field.tsx` ,
`calendar-field.tsx` , `extra-fields.tsx` , `edit-panel.atom.ts` .
- `tool-fallback.tsx` (current 533 lines, 3 responsibilities) → split
across `fallback-tool-body.tsx` , `default-fallback-card.tsx` ,
`revert-button.tsx` , `use-tool-action.ts` .
- `thinking-steps.tsx` (current 434 lines, 5 responsibilities) →
folded into the new `timeline/` slice across `types.ts` ,
`build-timeline.ts` , `grouping.ts` , `subagent-rename.ts` ,
`timeline.tsx` , `items/*` , `data-renderer.tsx` .

## 8. Tested behaviors
2026-05-09 18:31:16 +02:00
> **Status:** No test runner is set up in `surfsense_web` yet. The pure
> functions below are *intended* to be unit-tested but tests are
> deferred to **Phase D** (post-cutover follow-up: install vitest,
> write the suites, update this section).
Planned tests once vitest is in:
2026-05-09 14:39:44 +02:00
2026-05-09 18:31:16 +02:00
- `timeline/build-timeline.test.ts` — content + thinkingSteps → correct items, correct kind, correct status, correct ordering. `result` preserved verbatim. Orphan tool-calls (no `thinkingStepId` ) appended at end.
- `timeline/grouping.test.ts` — items group correctly by spanId; first item with a spanId is the parent; orphaned children become parents defensively.
- `timeline/subagent-rename.test.ts` — `task` tool-call's display title resolves to `args.subagent_type` (title-cased); falls back to `getToolDisplayName("task")` when subagent type is missing.
2026-05-09 14:39:44 +02:00
- `timeline/tool-registry/registry.test.ts` — `TOOLS_BY_NAME` includes every named tool; `FallbackToolBody` is returned for unknown names; the fallback dispatches correctly (interrupt → generic, doom-loop → doom-loop, otherwise → default fallback).
- `timeline/tool-registry/adapt-props.test.ts` — `ToolCallItem` → `TimelineToolProps` mapping is lossless; status mapping is correct.
2026-05-09 18:31:16 +02:00
- `hitl/use-hitl-phase.test.ts` — phase transitions through pending → processing → complete/rejected correctly.
2026-05-09 14:39:44 +02:00
- `hitl/approval-cards/doom-loop-approval.test.tsx` — `isDoomLoopInterrupt` matches doom-loop-shape interrupts only.
Smoke test after cutover:
- Assistant message renders; markdown + citations work in body.
- All connector tool calls render in timeline only (none in body).
- Reasoning steps render in timeline.
- Single HITL flow (Notion update): approve, edit, reject — each transitions through the phases correctly.
- Multiple pending HITL cards: each renders inline at its position; deciding one doesn't affect the others.
- Doom-loop approval renders the special card.
- Revert button works on completed default-fallback cards and survives reload.
- Subagent name renaming on `task` parent step.
---
## 9. Migration plan (strangler fig, single atomic cutover)
### Phase A — Build the new slice in parallel
In dependency order: `hitl/` first (leaf), then `timeline/` . The
existing code (`thinking-steps.tsx` , `tool-fallback.tsx` ,
`assistant-message.tsx` 's tool registry, etc.) remains fully
functional throughout Phase A.
1. Port `hitl/` primitives. Apply SRP splits (edit panel into 5 files).
`hitl/approval-cards/{generic,doom-loop}-approval.tsx` are ported
as standalone components — they're what the fallback mounts and
what per-tool integrations may compose on top of.
2. Build `timeline/` slice. Implement `buildTimeline` from scratch
(do NOT copy thinking-steps logic verbatim — design the pure
function around the new union). Build the `tool-registry/` with
`TimelineToolComponent` contract; the registry imports from
`components/tool-ui/*` (no file moves yet).
3. Add unit tests as listed in §8.
4. Verify: tsc clean, biome clean, no consumer file touched, no
linter regressions.
### Phase B — Atomic cutover (single commit)
| File | Change |
|---|---|
| `components/assistant-ui/assistant-message.tsx` | Replace `TOOLS_BY_NAME` /`TOOLS_FALLBACK` definitions with `BODY_TOOLS` (initially empty) + `tools={{ fallback: () => null }}` . Replace `ThinkingStepsDataUI` registration with `TimelineDataUI` . |
| `components/public-chat/public-thread.tsx` | Same registry + data UI swap. |
2026-05-09 18:31:16 +02:00
| `app/dashboard/.../new-chat/page.tsx` | Switch `ThinkingStepsDataUI` → `TimelineDataUI` . Switch `HitlBundleProvider` import from `@/lib/hitl` → `@/features/chat-messages/hitl` (keep the wrap; just new path). |
2026-05-09 14:39:44 +02:00
| `components/free-chat/free-chat-page.tsx` | Switch `ThinkingStepsDataUI` → `TimelineDataUI` . |
| `components/public-chat/public-chat-view.tsx` | Same. |
| `components/layout/ui/right-panel/RightPanel.tsx` | Switch `HitlEditPanel` import to `@/features/chat-messages/hitl` . |
| The 15 `components/tool-ui/*` HITL-aware integration files | (a) Switch HITL imports from `@/lib/hitl` , `@/hooks/use-hitl-phase` , `@/atoms/chat/hitl-edit-panel.atom` → `@/features/chat-messages/hitl` . (b) Retype from `ToolCallMessagePartComponent` → `TimelineToolComponent` (mechanical type rename). |
### Phase C — Delete legacy
After cutover passes smoke tests:
- `components/assistant-ui/thinking-steps.tsx`
- `components/assistant-ui/tool-fallback.tsx`
- `lib/chat/delegation-span-indent.ts`
2026-05-09 18:31:16 +02:00
- `lib/hitl/` (entire folder — replaced by `features/chat-messages/hitl/{types.ts,bundle/,use-hitl-decision.ts}` )
- `components/hitl-bundle-pager/` (entire folder — `PagerChrome` ported to `hitl/bundle/pager-chrome.tsx` ; `withBundleStep` deleted, responsibilities split into `tool-call-item.tsx` + `timeline.tsx` )
2026-05-09 14:39:44 +02:00
- `components/tool-ui/generic-hitl-approval.tsx`
- `components/tool-ui/doom-loop-approval.tsx`
- `components/hitl-edit-panel/` (entire folder)
- `hooks/use-hitl-phase.ts`
- `atoms/chat/hitl-edit-panel.atom.ts`
Verify: no orphan files, no dead imports, no test regressions.
---
## 10. Out of scope (and one consumer relationship)
### 10.1 The 63 `components/tool-ui/*` integrations
These are **first-class consumers** of `hitl/` and the
`TimelineToolComponent` contract. They are imported by
`timeline/tool-registry/registry.ts` to build `TOOLS_BY_NAME` . They
never reach into `timeline/` themselves.
They stay where they are. Future option to move them is a separate,
mechanical follow-up refactor.
### 10.2 Not touched by this refactor
- The composer (input bar, mention picker, prompt picker, tool toggles).
- The streaming pipeline (`lib/chat/streaming-state.ts` , `stream-pipeline.ts` , `thread-persistence.ts` ).
- The chat-comments sidebar.
- The message frame (`assistant-message.tsx` , `user-message.tsx` , `markdown-text.tsx` , `inline-citation.tsx` ) beyond swapping the registry imports.
If any of these become a blocker for the refactor (e.g. the streaming
pipeline needs a metadata field that doesn't exist), surface it
