Recent runs card under triggers. Each row expands lazily to fetch the
full run (step results, output, artifacts, error). 20-row cap for now;
real pagination lands if usage demands it.
Closes the create loop in chat: the agent describes user intent → the
drafter sub-LLM produces an AutomationCreate JSON → this card surfaces
a structured preview → approve persists; reject cancels. Edits flow
through chat refinement (re-call with a refined intent), not in-card,
so the card stays simple and the multi-turn checkpointer carries the
context.
Tool UI (components/tool-ui/automation/):
- create-automation.tsx — entry dispatcher + ApprovalCard chrome
(pending/processing/complete/rejected via useHitlPhase) + SavedCard
(links to the detail page) + InvalidCard (lists drafter validation
issues) + ErrorCard (verbatim message). Rejection result is hidden
because the approval card itself shows the rejected phase inline.
- automation-draft-preview.tsx — structured preview body: name +
description + goal, triggers (humanised cron + tz + static-input
keys), plan steps (step_id → action), and a collapsible raw JSON
for power users.
Wiring:
- components/tool-ui/index.ts — re-export.
- features/chat-messages/timeline/tool-registry/registry.ts —
register create_automation → CreateAutomationToolUI (dynamic import,
same pattern as other connector tools).
- contracts/enums/toolIcons.tsx — Workflow icon + "Create automation"
display name so fallback chrome (and timeline headers) are honest.
Shared util:
- lib/automations/describe-cron.ts — lifted from the route slice's
lib/ folder since both the dashboard slice and the new approval card
now render schedule descriptions. Slice imports updated; the now-
empty slice lib/ folder is gone.
Backend prompt fragments:
- main_agent/system_prompt/.../create_automation/description.md and
the tool's docstring no longer promise in-card edits. They make the
refinement path explicit: if the user wants changes after seeing the
draft, they reply in chat and the agent calls the tool again with a
refined intent.
v1 deliberately excludes:
- In-card edit form / right-side edit panel — defer until we see real
demand. The chat refinement loop covers the common case.
- approve_always / persistent allow rules — automations are a single
artifact, not a repeated mutation, so the "trust this kind of call"
affordance doesn't apply.
Vertical slice at /dashboard/[id]/automations/[automation_id]. Branches
in the orchestrator are: perms loading → skeleton, no-access → access
denied panel, bad id → not-found, fetch loading → skeleton, fetch
error → not-found, loaded → header + definition + triggers.
Route:
- page.tsx — server boundary; extracts both ids.
- automation-detail-content.tsx — client orchestrator.
Header:
- automation-detail-header.tsx — back link, name, status badge,
description, pause/resume + delete actions. Delete navigates back to
the list via a new onDeleted hook on DeleteAutomationDialog so the
list page (where the row just vanishes) stays unaffected.
- automation-not-found.tsx — 404/403/NaN-id panel. We don't
distinguish missing vs. forbidden in the UI.
Definition (read-only in v1):
- automation-definition-section.tsx — wrapper Card; renders goal +
tags + execution defaults + inputs schema (if present) + plan.
- plan-step-card.tsx — one step (when, output_as, retries, timeout,
params JSON).
- execution-summary.tsx — timeout / max_retries / backoff /
concurrency + on_failure step count.
- inputs-schema-preview.tsx — formatted JSON of inputs.schema; only
rendered when the definition declares inputs.
Triggers:
- automation-triggers-section.tsx — wrapper Card, "Add via chat" CTA
(creation is intent-driven, same philosophy as automations).
- trigger-card.tsx — schedule + timezone + cron, last/next fire
hints, static_inputs JSON, enable Switch and remove button.
- delete-trigger-dialog.tsx — confirm + mutation atom.
Shared:
- lib/describe-cron.ts — moved out of automation-triggers-summary.tsx
so both list and detail can describe schedules consistently
(daily/weekdays/weekly/monthly/hourly, raw cron fallback).
Loading:
- automation-detail-loading.tsx — same shell as the loaded view so the
layout doesn't jump on data arrival.
RBAC: each interactive surface is independently gated
(canUpdate/canDelete/canCreate) so the orchestrator stays thin and the
component tree is self-documenting about what each action requires.
Out of scope (later PRs):
- Editing definition / trigger params (raw-JSON path) — PR5
- Run history — PR6
The empty-state card already hosts the primary "Create via chat" CTA;
keeping the header button on the same screen showed two identical
buttons. Adds an optional ``showCreateCta`` prop to AutomationsHeader
(default true) and turns it off only in the empty branch so the card
stays the focal point.
Adds an "Automations" nav entry rendered explicitly between Inbox and
(on mobile) Documents, mirroring how those two are pulled out of the
nav list and rendered above the chat sections. The icon is Workflow
to match settings/RBAC labelling.
LayoutDataProvider:
- Adds the entry to navItems pointing at /dashboard/[id]/automations.
- Marks isActive via pathname so the row highlights on the route.
- Tags /automations as a workspace-panel page so it renders in the
centered settings-style viewport (same chrome as Team / settings).
Sidebar:
- Pulls out automationsItem alongside inboxItem and documentsItem.
- Renders it between them.
- Excludes its URL from footerNavItems so it doesn't double-render.
Page-level RBAC still gates the actual view; the sidebar entry is
always visible (consistent with Inbox/Documents which are also not
gated at the nav layer).
Anonymous (FreeLayoutDataProvider) intentionally not touched —
automations is an authenticated feature.
Vertical slice at /dashboard/[id]/automations. The page is read-only by
default; every action gates on backend automations:* permissions via a
co-located permissions hook so adding/removing surfaces stays a
one-file change.
Route:
- page.tsx — server boundary; extracts search_space_id.
- automations-content.tsx — client orchestrator (loading / no-access /
error / empty / table branches).
Components (one concern per file):
- automations-header.tsx — title + count + "Create via chat" CTA.
- automations-table.tsx + automation-row.tsx — name/status/updated
columns; row name links to detail (PR4).
- automation-status-badge.tsx — active / paused / archived pill.
- automation-row-actions.tsx — ⋯ menu with pause/resume + delete,
gated on canUpdate / canDelete. Archived rows hide the toggle.
- delete-automation-dialog.tsx — destructive confirm; mentions FK
cascade explicitly so users know triggers/runs go too.
- automations-empty-state.tsx — zero-state pointing to chat (creation
is intent-driven via the create_automation HITL tool, not a form).
- automations-loading.tsx — skeleton rows in the same shell so the
layout doesn't shift on data arrival.
- automation-triggers-summary.tsx — small cron-describer (daily,
weekdays, weekly, monthly, hourly) + timezone for the detail page.
Kept inline since v1 only registers schedule.
Hooks:
- use-automation-permissions.ts — single source of truth for the
slice's canCreate/canRead/canUpdate/canDelete/canExecute gates,
backed by myAccessAtom.
Pause/resume and delete reuse the PR2 mutation atoms, so list +
detail caches stay coherent without bespoke invalidation.
Out of scope (later PRs):
- detail route (definition viewer + triggers manager) — PR4
- raw JSON editor — PR5
- nav entry / sidebar wiring — small follow-up PR
DELETE endpoints in the automations API return 204; calling .json() on
an empty body throws SyntaxError. Treat 204 as data=null and skip
schema validation so callers can opt out of response bodies without
errors or spurious schema-mismatch warnings.
Also drops a pre-existing 'unknown → BodyInit' type error on the
non-JSON body branch via a narrow cast (caller is responsible for
passing a real BodyInit when Content-Type isn't application/json).
