Problem

Start a new conversation, type into the composer, click into another thread, then return to the / landing (the app logo / "Go to threads"): you're dropped on a blank composer. The landing always mints a fresh draft in the most-recently-active project, and project recency is ranked by server threads — which ignores unsent drafts. So an in-progress draft that lives in a different project than the one you just visited is left parked in the sidebar instead of reopened.

The text isn't destroyed (invested drafts survive and get a sidebar row, per #5777), but "I came back and my message is gone" is exactly how it reads.

Fix

Make the index landing resume the most-recent draft the user has actually invested content in (across projects) before falling back to starting a fresh draft in the most-recently-active project.

  • Explicit new-thread surfaces (the + buttons, hotkeys, command palette) are untouched and still mint fresh — this only changes the "return home" landing, where resuming unsent work is what you'd expect.
  • Adds getMostRecentDraftSessionWithContent to the composer draft store (non-promoted + composerDraftHasUserContent, newest by createdAt), with unit coverage.

Verification

apps/web typecheck, lint, and composerDraftStore.test.ts pass (incl. two new cases: resumes the newest invested draft across projects / ignores empty sessions; returns null when nothing is invested).

This is a routing/state change with no static visual; the difference is whether / reopens your in-progress draft or a blank one. Happy to record a short before/after clip if that's preferred.

Claude Opus 4.8 via Claude Code.


Note

Medium Risk
Changes default index routing and which draft opens on “return home,” though explicit new-thread entry points are unchanged and missing projects skip resume.

Overview
Visiting / no longer always mints a blank draft in the most-recently-active project. IndexDraftLanding now looks for a resumable in-progress draft first and replace-navigates to /draft/$draftId when that draft’s project still exists; otherwise it keeps the old behavior of starting a fresh draft in the latest project.

The composer draft store gains getMostRecentDraftSessionWithContent, which picks the newest non-promoting draft session (by createdAt) that has real user content via composerDraftHasUserContent, including across projects and ignoring empty newer sessions. Unit tests cover cross-project selection and the empty-draft case.

Note

Resume in-progress drafts when navigating to the index route

  • Adds getMostRecentDraftSessionWithContent to the composer draft store, which returns the most recently created, non-promoting draft session that has user content across all projects.
  • Updates the IndexDraftLanding component in _chat.index.tsx to check for a resumable draft on load; if found and its project still exists, navigates to /draft/$draftId instead of creating a new draft.
  • Behavioral Change: visiting the index route no longer always creates a fresh draft — users with an in-progress draft are redirected to it.

Macroscope summarized 326f2d5.

Typing into a new conversation, visiting another thread, then coming back to
the "/" landing dropped the user on a blank composer: the landing always
started a fresh draft in the most-recently-active project (ranked by server
threads, which ignores unsent drafts), so an in-progress draft in a different
project was left parked in the sidebar instead of reopened. The typed text was
not destroyed, but "come back and it's blank" reads as losing work.

invested content in (across projects) before falling back to a fresh draft.
Explicit new-thread surfaces (the "+" buttons, hotkeys, palette) still mint
fresh, so this only changes the "return home" path.

Problem

Start a new conversation, type into the composer, click into another thread, then return to the / landing (the app logo / "Go to threads"): you're dropped on a blank composer. The landing always mints a fresh draft in the most-recently-active project, and project recency is ranked by server threads — which ignores unsent drafts. So an in-progress draft that lives in a different project than the one you just visited is left parked in the sidebar instead of reopened.

The text isn't destroyed (invested drafts survive and get a sidebar row, per #5777), but "I came back and my message is gone" is exactly how it reads.

Fix

Make the index landing resume the most-recent draft the user has actually invested content in (across projects) before falling back to starting a fresh draft in the most-recently-active project.

  • Explicit new-thread surfaces (the + buttons, hotkeys, command palette) are untouched and still mint fresh — this only changes the "return home" landing, where resuming unsent work is what you'd expect.
  • Adds getMostRecentDraftSessionWithContent to the composer draft store (non-promoted + composerDraftHasUserContent, newest by createdAt), with unit coverage.

Verification

apps/web typecheck, lint, and composerDraftStore.test.ts pass (incl. two new cases: resumes the newest invested draft across projects / ignores empty sessions; returns null when nothing is invested).

This is a routing/state change with no static visual; the difference is whether / reopens your in-progress draft or a blank one. Happy to record a short before/after clip if that's preferred.

Claude Opus 4.8 via Claude Code.


Note

Medium Risk
Changes default index routing and which draft opens on “return home,” though explicit new-thread entry points are unchanged and missing projects skip resume.

Overview
Visiting / no longer always mints a blank draft in the most-recently-active project. IndexDraftLanding now looks for a resumable in-progress draft first and replace-navigates to /draft/$draftId when that draft’s project still exists; otherwise it keeps the old behavior of starting a fresh draft in the latest project.

The composer draft store gains getMostRecentDraftSessionWithContent, which picks the newest non-promoting draft session (by createdAt) that has real user content via composerDraftHasUserContent, including across projects and ignoring empty newer sessions. Unit tests cover cross-project selection and the empty-draft case.

Note

Resume in-progress drafts when navigating to the index route

  • Adds getMostRecentDraftSessionWithContent to the composer draft store, which returns the most recently created, non-promoting draft session that has user content across all projects.
  • Updates the IndexDraftLanding component in _chat.index.tsx to check for a resumable draft on load; if found and its project still exists, navigates to /draft/$draftId instead of creating a new draft.
  • Behavioral Change: visiting the index route no longer always creates a fresh draft — users with an in-progress draft are redirected to it.

Macroscope summarized 326f2d5.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces new user-facing navigation behavior - automatically resuming drafts with content when returning to the index instead of creating blank ones. While well-tested and scoped, this is a feature change affecting core UX rather than a simple bug fix.
