Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

Prevents terminal from auto-opening on page refresh by tracking initialization state and skipping the first sync after console hydration.

Changes

• Added hasInitializedEntriesRef to track whether the component has processed the initial hydrated entries
• Skip auto-open trigger when console first hydrates to prevent expanding terminal for persisted entries
• Reset initialization state when switching workflows to ensure auto-open works correctly per workflow
• Added activeWorkflowId and hasConsoleHydrated to effect dependencies for proper reactivity

How it Works

The fix uses a flag pattern to distinguish between:

1. Initial hydration: When persisted console entries are restored from storage (should NOT auto-open)
2. New entries: When workflow execution adds fresh entries (should auto-open if openOnRun is enabled)

The hasInitializedEntriesRef is reset when switching workflows, ensuring each workflow's first real execution can trigger auto-open.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with no issues found
• The implementation correctly solves the bug using a clean flag pattern that distinguishes between hydrated and new entries. The logic is well-commented, follows React best practices, and properly manages effect dependencies.
• No files require special attention
