- 5.1ETVchat: add opt-in persistent working progress (#336087) * chat: add opt-in persistent working progress Keep a stable progress indicator through thinking, tools and interactive prompts while preserving the collapsed-thinking exception and legacy behavior when disabled. Add configurable VS Code logo motion, regression coverage and live component fixtures. Preserve terminal and rich subagent activity animations, and undo the requested picker-label offsets. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: unify persistent progress and fix review regressions Use one off-by-default animation enum for persistent progress. Keep approval status and footer ordering correct, preserve progressive reveal after interactions, track MCP authentication completion in the producer and response model, and restore verbose progress announcements.\n\nFix the reduced-motion terminal assertion and the nested MCP test, with configuration, lifecycle, and live-fixture regression coverage.\n\nCo-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Fold completed persistent responses and surface edit totals Persistent progress now honors chat.agent.collapseCompletedResponses: completed responses fold their expanded tool chains into "Completed N steps", counting individual chain rows, and the summary gains a shared edit-stats button that aggregates the response's file changes and opens the multi-diff editor. The same button backs the thinking-header diff pill. Also normalizes spacing for edit pills and markdown inside persistent tool chains, adds a mock editing session so native markdown edit pills render in tests and fixtures, and marks the setting as experiment-controlled (default Off) with matching accessibility help and setting descriptions. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: 582f8a6c-b5dc-415f-a695-2ed8fdd8effd * Stop persistent spacing and header height from depending on stylesheet order The persistent spacing rules tied on specificity with main's `.interactive-item-container .value > .chat-tool-invocation-part` margin, so whichever stylesheet was imported first won; with every unit test file loaded, the legacy 16px margin beat the shared gap token. Including the row container class makes the persistent rules win outright. Tool detail headers inherit a 1.5em line height computed at the response font size while their label text is smaller, and Chromium builds disagree on whether that block line height governs the label box (Playwright's Chromium lays it out 1.5px short). Give the label text the header line height directly so both engines agree. Also allow one device pixel for the connector stroke checks at fractional zoom, where Chromium snaps 1px strokes to whole device pixels. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: 582f8a6c-b5dc-415f-a695-2ed8fdd8effd * Address adversarial review of persistent progress Footer state: tools waiting for MCP authentication and unused legacy confirmation parts now surface as blocking states instead of a generic working phrase, the per-tool watcher refreshes on those transitions, and blocking labels are announced to screen readers once (rotating phrases stay silent). Participant progress messages and unfinished tasks become the footer text instead of being hidden behind it, and their rows fall back to the check icon rather than a static spinner glyph. Carousel: tool parts built for the input part's confirmation carousel use a context without persistent presentation, and the gutter icon is scoped to the response so it can no longer leak layout into another host. Edit totals: content parts that render edits expose their current diff (IChatContentPartDiffSource) so chains and subagents seed from values that were emitted before they attached, for example restored sessions with cached diffs. The completed-response aggregation collects each chain once (hooks returned the same instance at several indices, doubling totals), and now includes standalone edit markdown and subagent edits. Also: the disclosure fast path recounts steps when chain rows are removed after completion, a persistent reasoning preview defers its auto-collapse until keyboard focus leaves it, and unknown animation values warn once.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: address subagent lifecycle review feedback Scope child discovery to the spawning chat, restore cross-client and nested subagent availability, and adopt completed client snapshots without duplicate pills. Keep cancelled tools from showing success labels and preserve synchronous setup for already-hydrated child chats. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: retain rich subagent presentation while awaiting child chats Separate rich pill visibility from chat navigation readiness, preserve activity after the launch tool completes, and keep unavailable output accessible. Cover the actual toolbar lifecycle and add dark/light fixtures for pending, running, and unavailable child chats. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: invalidate subagent availability on late subscription errors Observe child subscription failures throughout the observation lifetime, clear stale activity and availability, release the failed observer, and allow subsequent catalog recovery. Clarify prospective chat resources and legacy undefined availability semantics. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: always use collapsed preview thinking in read-only chats Pass read-only state through the shared renderer and content context, overriding only the effective thinking style without changing user configuration. Rebuild reused templates when read-only state changes and apply the override consistently to grouping and completion. Cover all configured modes and editable/read-only transitions, and document the behavior in settings and accessibility help. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: suppress launch output in rich subagent headers Keep rich subagents pill-only while launch completion, availability and child activity transition independently. Remove the temporary Subagent output disclosure and its action-enabled listeners, preserve opt-out inline rendering, and cover live/restored launch acknowledgments and the inactive initialization gap. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: defer subagent entries and name completion notices Publish subagent entries only after a child turn exists, appending them after intervening progress rather than reserving an early slot. Preserve observation and ordering across live, same-client, cross-client, and restored turns, and verify the full renderer in both themes. Use the SDK display name or task description for live and restored background-agent completion notices instead of an opaque routing ID. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: distinguish agent titles in completion notices Use the existing escaped Markdown inline-code helper for background-agent names in live and restored notices.

Keep running subagent reasoning independent and mount new collapsed tool groups after the boundary. Cover live reasoning, replay, all thinking styles, read-only and incremental rendering, completed/remounted responses, and visible DOM ordering with full-renderer fixtures. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: follow list lifecycle in subagent fixtures Dispose the previous element render before reusing the full-response template, as the production list does. This clears progressive-render timers instead of exhausting the component explorer's virtual-time task budget. Verified all 14 subagent fixtures twice with the CI render command, deterministic screenshot hashes, and unchanged output for previously passing fixtures. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: preserve late subagents and contained edit previews Keep subagent launch metadata, deferred publication, and child observation alive with the session so children can start after their parent turn completes. Recover deferred idle history, route late progress to the original response, and honor catalog children for failed active-turn restores. Keep provider-observed children visibly active until their own completion, and only mount newly split thinking-group roots so lazy edit markdown stays inside its collapsed group. Add regressions for all contributor paths, delayed catalog recovery, original-response routing, disposal, failed restoration, and edit containment. Verified 865 tests and 16 CI-style component fixtures.

- 3.0ETVchat: unify subagent pills and fix tool rendering lifecycles (#338064) * chat: unify subagent pills and fix tool rendering lifecycles Use the shared subagent pill across harnesses, with inline details when no child chat is available, and remove the legacy dropdown setting. Share standalone and chained tool icons, remove empty progress rows and redundant terminal error chrome, and preserve patch results and child edit ownership across live and restored sessions. Remount deferred content only when connected and stop progress when responses finish. Add regression coverage and themed fixtures for confirmations, tool errors, code-block first paint, subagent details, and rendering lifecycles. Fixes #337773. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: exclude hidden tools from chain step counts Keep tool ownership intact while excluding invisible rows from displayed step counts and expansion. Refresh fallback summaries on visibility changes and clear hidden state when entries leave the chain. Cover mixed visibility in both insertion orders, lazy materialization, removal, generated summaries, and live/restored tool chains. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * chat: preserve edit icon layout across stylesheet order Exclude activity-gutter icons from the inline Markdown icon alignment rule without changing its specificity. The conflicting rule previously returned edit icons to normal flow when the full suite loaded CSS in a different order, shifting labels and failing all six CI test jobs.
