feat(mobile): see agent status from home screen and Lock Screen widgets by ndycode · Pull Request #28321 · pingdotgg/t3code

ndycode · 2026-10-31T20:20:17Z

Problem

Without a Live Activity running, nothing on the home screen or Lock Screen shows whether an agent is working or needs you. The widget gallery already lists "Agent Activity", but it always shows a blank card: nothing ever writes that widget's layout.

Change

The AgentActivity widget entry now renders an agent status widget (AgentStatus.tsx). It uses the same marks, colors, wording and "needs you first" order as the Live Activity. A widget someone already placed starts working instead of disappearing.

Small: a large mark, the thread that needs you, and what it needs.
Medium and large: one row per thread, with the one that needs you raised like an editor tab. Each row opens its own thread.
Lock Screen: circular (mark and count), rectangular (thread and need), and inline ("1 needs you · 1 done").
Empty and first run: "No agents running", or "Open T3 Code to see your agents".
Freshness. Widgets get no relay pushes, so the app publishes when thread status changes or the app opens or closes, and only while an environment is live. Every widget shows "As of …". After five minutes, in-flight threads switch to "Out of date" and the widget claims nothing about work.
Safe on odd input: links aren't double-encoded, unknown phases show as stale, and failures still lead after the snapshot expires.

Scope and approval

Stacked on #28233; please review the last commit. Proposed as a follow-up in #28232. Maintainer approval is pending. iOS only, like the Live Activity.

Verification

(cd apps/mobile && vp test run --project unit src/widgets src/features/showcase src/features/agent-awareness): 69 passed. Each new test fails when its behavior is removed.
vp run typecheck, vp lint and vp fmt --check pass.

iOS 27 Simulator, iPhone 17 Pro. These are real WidgetKit renders, added through the normal home screen and Lock Screen flows.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds an iOS agent-status widget and app-side snapshot publication. It updates AgentActivity presentations and adds showcase scenes, fixture selection, and staging for both status and activity widgets.

Changes: Mobile agent status

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Project threads into status snapshots `apps/mobile/src/widgets/agentStatusSnapshot.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/widgets/agentStatusSnapshot.test.ts`	New utilities filter and order eligible threads, build snapshots with counts and expiry, and create timeline entries. Tests cover projection, ordering, counts, URLs, freshness, and display keys.
Render phase-aware widget presentations `apps/mobile/app.config.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentActivity.tsx`, `apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentActivity.test.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentStatus.tsx`, `apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentStatus.test.ts`	AgentStatus adds family-specific layouts, status summaries, links, and accessibility descriptions. AgentActivity updates phase marks, stale handling, hero selection, counts, and layouts. The widget configuration adds iOS families and changes the display name and description.
Publish snapshots from the app `apps/mobile/src/widgets/AgentStatusCoordinator.tsx`, `apps/mobile/src/widgets/publishAgentStatus.ios.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/widgets/publishAgentStatus.ios.test.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/widgets/publishAgentStatus.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/App.tsx`	The coordinator selects showcase or live-environment rows and publishes themed snapshots. AppContent renders the coordinator. The iOS publisher reloads the widget and updates its timeline when the native module is available; the platform-neutral publisher is a no-op.
Stage widget showcase scenes and fixtures `apps/mobile/src/features/showcase/*`, `scripts/mobile-showcase-environment.ts`	Showcase scene parsing accepts fixture suffixes and adds agent-status routing. Named activity fixtures feed capture and status rows. Readiness and stale activity staging are updated, and the showcase environment adds two settled threads.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Explanation

The description includes all required sections and gives clear problem, implementation, scope, verification, UI evidence, and untested areas. The scope section states that maintainer approval is pending, so the required approval evidence is not yet provided.

Resolution

Add the triaged issue or discussion link with the explicit maintainer approval comment for the proposed direction and scope. Update the scope section after approval is obtained.

The "Agent Activity" gallery entry rendered a blank card: it shares the Live Activity's name, but nothing ever stored a widget layout for it. It now renders an Agent status widget in small, medium, large, and the three Lock Screen families, with the Live Activity's marks, colors, and "needs you first" order. The app publishes a snapshot from live environments whenever thread status changes and when it enters or leaves the foreground. A second timeline entry switches the widget to an out-of-date presentation five minutes later, because widgets get no relay pushes.
