feat(web): Woke indicator can be icon-only or off - #34189
When a snoozed thread wakes, its sidebar row shows an orange Woke label until the label is dismissed or the thread is acted on. With several snoozes ending in a day, the labels pile up and compete with the statuses that need action (Approval, Input, Failed). There is no way to make the mark quieter or to turn it off.
Change
Adds one per-device setting, Settings → General → Sidebar → Woke indicator, with three values:
Icon and label (default): today's behavior, unchanged.
Icon only: the row keeps the alarm clock, without the word. It is still the dismiss button, with the same tooltip and accessible name, and the row's accessible name still says "Woke". The bare icon gets a 24 px pointer target, a tint under the pointer, and a focus ring that clears the glyph.
Off: the sidebar treats the thread as not woke, so the row shows what it would otherwise show (Done or its age). The "Woke from snooze · Dismiss" line in the open thread is hidden too, since it mirrors the same notification.
The setting only changes what is drawn. When a thread wakes, where it sorts, and how the woke state is acknowledged are untouched, so switching back from Off shows the mark again on threads that were never dismissed.
Files: the client settings schema and patch in packages/contracts, the settings row and its search entry, one selector in Sidebar.tsx, the label and icon size in SidebarThreadRow.tsx (card, slim, and folder rows), the status line in useThreadLifecycle.tsx, and one paragraph in docs/user/thread-sidebar.md.
Mobile is not changed. It keeps its own Woke pill and its own preferences store, so a mobile option would need its own preference, settings row, and device check. That is left for a follow-up if wanted.
Scope and approval
No prior discussion. I am submitting this under the focused configuration route in CONTRIBUTING.md:
Existing capability: the Woke indicator on web and desktop, in the sidebar row and the open thread.
What the option controls: how that indicator is drawn (label, icon, or hidden). Nothing else.
Why it stays within that capability: the default is unchanged, there is no new workflow, and no server, orchestration, or wire contract change. The only schema change is one client setting, stored per device like sidebarWorkingShelfEnabled.
Related Ideas discussions about the same label, neither of which this implements: #33393 and #33613.
Verification
vp run check:changed on the final diff: format, lint, knip, typecheck (37 packages), tests beside the changes (13 files), and the React compiler check all pass.
Manual pass in the web client from vp run dev with isolated state. I started four threads with the Replay (dev) provider, snoozed them with a one-minute preset, and waited for them to wake.
Mode
Observed
Icon and label
Rows show the clock and "Woke", as on main. Opening a woken thread shows "Woke from snooze · Dismiss".
Icon only
Rows show only the clock: 14 px in card rows, on the same right edge as the provider icon under it, and 12 px in folder rows (boring sidebar). Clicking it dismisses the mark without opening the thread. On row hover the button box (24×24) ends 1 px before Snooze in card rows and abuts Settle in folder rows, with 12 px between the glyphs in card rows.
Off
No woke rows and no dismiss button; the rows show Done or their age. Opening a woken thread shows no "Woke from snooze" line. Switching back shows the mark again on threads that were not dismissed.
Also checked: the value survives a reload, the row's reset button returns it to the default, and settings search for "woke" finds the row.
Themes: the clock uses the existing warning-foreground token, so there is no per-theme code. I rendered Icon only in the default theme (light and dark), T3 Chat light, Grove dark, Ocean dark, Ember light, and Iris dark. Contrast of the clock against the sidebar background, computed from the palette tokens for all five built-in themes in both appearances, is 4.18 to 4.82 in light and 7.5 to 12.2 in dark.
Not checked: the remaining theme variants were computed from tokens, not rendered (Grove, Ocean, and Iris light; T3 Chat and Ember dark). Also not checked: the packaged desktop app (it renders the same web code and persists the same client settings schema; the desktop settings fixture now carries the new key), and mobile (unchanged).

Review of 2957d0a
Both reviewers found no defects at head 2957d0a216, so nothing was changed after review.
What they checked:
The setting's path through the schema default, the patch schema, browser and desktop persistence, settings search, the row reset, and restore defaults.
Off: the only wokeAt call site passes null, the row falls back to Done or its age, and wake time, sorting, and the acknowledgement paths are untouched.
Icon only: both dismiss buttons keep their accessible name and tooltip, and the hidden label keeps its role="status".
Card, slim, folder, and multiline folder rows, and the open-thread status line.
Focused tests: 5 files (111 tests) plus the sidebar and thread lifecycle browser tests (14 tests) pass.
Limits both reviewers noted: no existing browser test exercises the three display modes, and neither repeated the manual client pass or ran the packaged desktop app or mobile.
Checkout verified: git rev-parse HEAD printed 2957d0a216afe2d7d3959a150f80df1fba0d88e9. git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no printed nothing. The diff is one commit on merge base 11611419f3, touching 8 files.
Findings
None. I found no defects introduced by this diff.
Checked
Contract (packages/contracts/src/settings.ts): SidebarWokeIndicator uses withDecodingDefault("label"), so stored settings without the key decode to today's behavior. The patch schema has the matching optionalKey. splitPatch in apps/web/src/hooks/useSettings.ts:245 sends any key that is not a server key to the client patch, so the new key persists per device with no extra wiring. The desktop fixture carries the key. Mobile does not consume ClientSettings, so it is unaffected.
Off mode (Sidebar.tsx:3369): this is the only call site that passes wokeAt to SidebarThreadRow. Passing null makes isWoke false at SidebarThreadRow.tsx:720. The row then falls through to Done or its age, shouldRecede treats it as not woke, and handleAcknowledgeWokeClick returns early. Sorting in Sidebar.logic.ts does not use wake time, so no row jumps without a visible reason. Acknowledgement paths are unchanged: useThreadActions.ts:413 and :800, and useComposerSend.ts:1291, all compute threadWokeAt themselves. Switching back to a visible mode therefore shows threads that were never dismissed, as the PR describes.
Open-thread line (useThreadLifecycle.tsx:222-230): activeThreadWokeVisible is read only at :640, to render the "Woke from snooze" line. Gating it does not affect acknowledgement or any other status line.
Icon only (SidebarThreadRow.tsx:1295-1312 and :1482-1508):
Both dismiss buttons keep aria-label="Dismiss Woke notification" and their tooltip.
The label becomes sr-only but keeps its role="status" live region.
The icon is 3.5 in this mode and 4 otherwise, and the size is set through cn on a lucide icon, not on a components/ui export, so the restyle rule does not apply.
The memoized row gets a primitive boolean prop, so memoization still works.
SidebarThreadRow has no other callers or test fixtures that the new required prop would break.
Settings UI: the select validates values with Schema.is before calling updateSettings. The reset button and the restore-defaults list both include the key. The search entry id woke-indicator matches searchableSetting("woke-indicator").
Docs: the docs/user/thread-sidebar.md paragraph gives a settings path in the same style as the existing "Working section" text. It is scoped to web and desktop, which is correct because mobile is unchanged.
Tests: no new tests. The repository's own test rules (AGENTS.md:105) say to leave out tests for props rendered to static markup and for what types already guarantee, and this diff is that kind of change. I don't count the absence as a gap.
Ran: vp test run packages/contracts/src/settings.test.ts apps/desktop/src/settings/DesktopClientSettings.test.ts. Both files passed, 41 tests. I did not run typecheck, lint, or a UI pass; the PR reports vp run check:changed and a manual pass.

CI note: the one failing test in Test Web is RightPanelTabs.browser.test.tsx > a flick that scrolls the tab strip to its left edge keeps the thread, a swipe from the edge goes back (1 failed, 543 passed). This PR does not touch that file. The same test fails on main at this branch's base 11611419f3 (run) and at c82e1ba515 (run). Check fails only because it requires Test Web. I will rebase once main is green.

Walkthrough
The change adds a setting with label, icon, and off modes for woke indicators. General settings exposes the preference, and the web sidebar and active thread apply it. The thread sidebar documentation describes the available modes.

Merge Risk: Low · up to ea0c1
The new Woke indicator setting works as described. In Icon only mode, the icon can shift slightly when hover actions appear, so a fast pointer could hit Settle instead of dismissing Woke. This reflow already exists on main and is a small, known follow-up, not a merge blocker.

Accepted and fixed (all three agreed on the first two):
In Icon only, the button's padding reached 4 px under the Snooze or Settle button on row hover, and that neighbor took the click. The hover actions now start past the button. Measured after the fix: the 24×24 box ends 1 px before Snooze in card rows and abuts Settle in folder rows.
The bare icon had no hover feedback, since hover:underline had no text to underline. It now gets hover:bg-warning-surface.
The target was 22×22 (card) and 20×20 (folder). It is now 24×24 in both, with the icon in the same place.
Considered, not changed:
Opus suggested showing the word "Woke" again on row hover so the orange alarm clock and the grey Snooze clock are separated by text. Not taken: Icon only would no longer be icon only under the pointer, and the row would shift further on hover. With the gap fix the three hover actions sit 12 px apart, and the two clocks differ in shape, color, and size.
Already on main, left out of this PR:
warning-foreground on hovered and selected rows in the light Grove, Ocean, Ember, and Iris themes is 3.2 to 3.8:1. That is enough for the icon, but under 4.5:1 for the 12 px "Woke", "Approval", and "Limited" labels.
The appearance contrast setting does not adjust status colors (--color-warning-foreground has no --contrast-* mix).
role="status" on the "Woke" span sits inside a button, where a live region is unreliable.

Keep the Woke icon in place when actions appear.
In Icon only mode, hovering the row makes the action group static and widens the right-aligned status slot. The Woke icon moves left, and Settle can appear under its former position. A pointer entering the row at that position can settle the thread instead of dismissing Woke.
Keep the icon’s position stable when the actions appear. The slim-row action at Line 1401 has the same behavior.

Not changing this here. The shift is how main already behaves for the labelled Woke button, and this PR does not touch it:
Card rows: the Woke status keeps pointer-events-auto and stays in flow while the action group goes static on hover (SidebarThreadRow.tsx lines 1478 and 1538 on main), so the status slot widens and "Woke" moves left with Settle taking its former place.
Folder and slim rows: isWoke && "group-any-hover/sidebar-row:static" (lines 1350, 1367, 1387 on main) does the same.
Icon only inherits that layout with a smaller shift, since the bare icon is narrower than the label. Keeping the status stationary would mean reworking where the hover actions go for every mode, which is outside a display option for the indicator. What this PR does fix for the bare icon is the overlap between its padded target and the first action.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
@chledowski Understood. Icon only inherits the existing hover layout, and the padding change addresses a separate overlap. I accept leaving the layout rework out of this PR.
Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for the position shift?
A thread that wakes from snooze gets an orange "Woke" label in its
sidebar row. The label stays until it is dismissed or the thread is
acted on, and there was no way to make it quieter.
Settings > General > Woke indicator now chooses between the icon and
label (default, unchanged), the icon alone, and off. Off also hides the
"Woke from snooze" line in the open thread. The setting is per device,
like the other sidebar display settings.
