Summary

  • Reduces the visible background bot status polling interval from 60s down to 3s.
  • Triggers immediate status reconciliation on message dispatch and run.started events so avatar active/working spinners reflect status in real-time.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Bot lists now show more accurate, up-to-date statuses by applying only the latest refresh results.
    • Prevented overlapping refresh requests, improving reliability during ongoing updates.
    • Bot data now refreshes when group-thread runs start or finish.
    • Sending a message refreshes bot information before navigating to a group conversation, reducing stale status displays.
    • Prevented outdated startup data from overriding newer refreshes or triggering unnecessary navigation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates Shell.tsx to coordinate bot-list refresh generations, prevent overlapping polling requests, handle bootstrap races, refresh on run events, and refresh before message-send navigation.

Changes

Bot-list refresh behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Refresh coordination and bootstrap ordering
apps/web/src/pages/Shell.tsx
refreshBots applies only the latest response and tracks in-flight requests. Polling skips overlapping refreshes. Bootstrap skips stale bot-list application and navigation when a newer refresh completes first.
Event refresh and navigation ordering
apps/web/src/pages/Shell.tsx
Bot-thread and group-thread run events refresh bot data. Successful sends refresh bot data before bot-to-group navigation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3ccad

The PR changes bot-status polling from 60 seconds to 3 seconds and coordinates bootstrap, event, send, and archived refreshes. At the current head, a failed overlapping refresh can prevent the sidebar from initializing, overlapping refreshes can leave archived bots stale, and the higher cadence increases aggregate request load. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Greptile Summary

The PR adds latest-response sequencing and more immediate sidebar bot-status reconciliation.

  • Reduces visible polling from sixty seconds to three seconds.
  • Refreshes bot status after message dispatch and run lifecycle events.
  • Prevents stale bot-list responses from replacing newer successfully applied results.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge because no blocking failure remains.

P2 Uncoalesced polling fan-out

Each visible tab now invokes refreshBots every three seconds, generating approximately 60 full-list RPCs per minute instead of three. If a refresh takes longer than the interval, requests also overlap because this path has no in-flight guard, increasing network and database load and allowing older responses to overwrite newer state.

Add a botsRefreshEpoch so overlapping refreshBots responses cannot apply
out-of-order sidebar state, skip poll ticks while a refresh is in flight,
refresh bots on group run.started/terminal SSE, and call refreshBots before
bot→group send reroutes navigate away.

Capture botsRefreshEpoch when bootstrap starts and skip bots/sections/
groups/route writes if a later refreshBots advanced the epoch, so a slow
bootstrap cannot overwrite fresher sidebar status from the 3s poll.

439-451: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve archived results when refresh modes overlap.

botsRefreshEpoch is shared by refreshBots(true) and refreshBots(false). If the archived refresh starts first and a normal event or polling refresh starts second, the normal response passes the check at Line 446. Its archived value is null, so it does not update archivedBots. The older archived response is then discarded. Archive or restore operations can leave the Archived section stale indefinitely. Use a separate archived-data epoch, or include archived data when an archived refresh is pending.

Track botsRefreshApplied so a failed refresh cannot suppress bootstrap

non-archived refresh cannot drop a newer archived list result.
