Walkthrough

The chat start screen now offers greeting variants, prompt starters, writing prompts, and a compact chat form. ChatForm supports controlled content and imperative focus. Empty and populated layouts were separated. Greeting E2E assertions use a shared helper.

Changes

Interactive chat start flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Controlled chat form and submit controls
apps/frontend/src/components/chat/chat-form/chat-form.tsx, apps/frontend/src/components/chat/chat-form/chat-submit-button.tsx
ChatForm now uses controlled content, imperative focus and content helpers, compact rendering, and a shared submit or stop button.
Get-started prompts and draft state
apps/frontend/src/components/chat/get-started.tsx, apps/frontend/src/components/chat/get-started-button.tsx, apps/frontend/src/store/current-chat-id-store.ts, apps/frontend/src/content.ts
GetStarted now renders greeting variants, prompt starters, and writing prompts. New-chat state clears leftover drafts.
Chat and document layout states
apps/frontend/src/components/chat/chat-section.tsx, apps/frontend/src/components/documents/desktop-documents.tsx
ChatSection separates empty and populated states. DesktopDocuments starts collapsed.
Greeting assertion coverage
apps/frontend/tests/e2e/helpers/greeting.ts, apps/frontend/tests/e2e/auth.spec.ts, apps/frontend/tests/e2e/maintenance-mode.spec.ts, apps/frontend/tests/e2e/user.spec.ts
E2E tests use a shared helper to validate visible greetings in authentication, maintenance, and profile flows.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 22632

Users can select unavailable external-source starters without enabling the advertised feature, and assistive technologies receive the wrong state for the initially hidden documents panel. These localized UI defects should be corrected before merge.

Poem

A rabbit taps the prompt with care
New words hop lightly through the air
The form can focus, clear, and sing
Small buttons guide each useful thing
Fresh greetings bloom in every chat

Bind aria-expanded to !isCollapsed.

The controlled panel renders only when isCollapsed is false, so the current binding announces the hidden panel as expanded on initial render.

Hide unavailable external-source starters.

When a feature flag is false, its starter remains visible. Clicking it only focuses ChatForm; it does not enable Parla or web search. Render these starters only when their feature flag is enabled, or disable them with an explanation.
