Summary

Closes #2124

Makes workspace lifecycle management discoverable from the sidebar and fixes the Settings navigation taxonomy:

  • Sidebar project-group menu now exposes compact workspace shortcuts: New chat, Open folder, Set as default, Archive, and Manage workspaces (deep-links to settings-environments). Items use the design-system DcDropdownActionItem with icons and delegate to the existing typed Project APIs (projectStore.openDirectory / setDefaultProject / archive flow).
  • Eligibility gating: missing directories cannot be opened or set as default; the current default cannot be set again; a shared workspaceOperationPending guard prevents concurrent operations. Destructive Remove and archived Restore stay in Settings with unchanged confirmation semantics.
  • Settings navigation: settings-environments moves from the Models group to Setup, and the Environments page eyebrow follows.
  • i18n: chat.sidebar.manageWorkspaces added to all 21 locales.
  • Docs: complete-directory-management/spec.md updated to record the expanded sidebar surface.

Tests

  • WindowSideBar.test.ts: menu shortcuts invoke the typed APIs and settings deep-link; ineligible actions (missing dir, current default) are disabled and no-ops.
  • SettingsNavigationDebug.test.ts: Environments is grouped under Setup and no longer under Models.
  • projectStore.test.ts: setting the default workspace refreshes the project snapshot.

Verified locally with pnpm run lint and pnpm run typecheck.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary

  • New Features
    • Added workspace actions for starting chats, opening folders, setting defaults, managing workspaces, reordering, and archiving.
    • Added a workspace-management link and default workspace indicators to the sidebar.
  • Improvements
    • Added safeguards for missing folders and duplicate workspace operations.
    • Environment management is now grouped under Setup settings.
    • Added workspace-management translations across supported languages.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved persistence and handling of default workspace selection.
    • Standardized workspace reordering across drag, keyboard, and menu interactions.

Add new chat, open folder, set default, archive, and manage-workspaces
shortcuts to the sidebar project-group menu, gate ineligible actions for
missing or already-default directories, and move Environments from the
Models group to Setup in Settings navigation.

Fixes #2124

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The sidebar now provides guarded actions for workspace chats, directories, defaults, archiving, and management. Environment settings move to the setup group. Localization and renderer tests cover the updated behavior.

Changes

Workspace management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Settings navigation contract
docs/features/complete-directory-management/spec.md, src/shared/settingsNavigation.ts, src/renderer/settings/components/EnvironmentsSettings.vue, test/renderer/components/SettingsNavigationDebug.test.ts
The contract documents sidebar access and workspace eligibility rules. Environment settings now use the setup group, with matching UI and test updates.
Workspace operation handlers
src/renderer/src/composables/sidebar/useSidebarWorkspaceActions.ts, test/renderer/stores/projectStore.test.ts
Workspace open and default operations validate state, prevent duplicate calls, handle errors, and update project state. Archive operations use the same pending-state guard.
Sidebar action menu and localization
src/renderer/src/components/WindowSideBar.vue, test/renderer/components/WindowSideBar.test.ts, src/renderer/src/i18n/*/chat.json
The workspace menu exposes guarded actions with localized labels and settings navigation. Tests cover action eligibility, keyboard selection, and archive-operation locking.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Add keyboard coverage for workspace actions.

The test stub replaces DropdownMenuItem with a native button, and the workspace tests trigger only click. Add coverage for production dropdown focus movement and Enter/Space activation.

A few P2 notes on the new sidebar workspace actions.

Comment thread src/renderer/src/composables/sidebar/useSidebarWorkspaceActions.ts
Comment thread src/renderer/src/components/WindowSideBar.vue Outdated
Comment thread src/renderer/src/components/WindowSideBar.vue
Comment thread src/renderer/src/components/WindowSideBar.vue Outdated
- Share one pending lock between archive and open/set-default so
  overlapping snapshot mutations cannot start
- Use a sidebar-specific "Open folder" label instead of reusing the
  Settings "Open" string
- Show a Default badge on the default workspace group row
- Guard new-chat activation for missing directories instead of relying
  on the disabled attribute alone
- Cover select-event activation, the archive lock, and the default
  badge in renderer tests

- Stop the workspace path tooltip from wrapping at arbitrary
  characters: replace break-all with break-words and override the
  base text-balance with text-wrap
- Prevent text selection on right-click by marking the group row
  select-none, matching session items
- Render the default workspace badge with DcBadge (active variant)
  instead of a hand-rolled span
