feat(search): page-aware cmd+k palette with ask-Sim mode by j15z · Pull Request #6518 · simstudioai/sim

j15z · 2026-08-11T01:27:15Z

Summary

Rebuilds cmd+k into one page-aware section model: results rank across sections in a single list, with page-context action groups (Actions / Sim) and exact-name tiers — typing a page name puts the page first, "start" puts the Start Trigger first, "deploy"/"copy"/"workflows" put their verb actions first, and matched actions carry a half-tier bias over equal-quality entity rows
Tab toggles Ask Sim mode: Enter auto-sends the typed query as a new chat through the chat handoff — raw prose, delivered identically whether Home is already mounted or reached cross-route. Depends on the send-recovery fix beneath this branch (fix(chat): stop losing sends aborted during mount-settling #6525)
The empty state browses every section uncapped (sections in sidebar order, chats above the integrations catalog); tool operations are search-only to keep open/close snappy. Ranking runs against a deferred query with cached tokenization so typing never blocks, and palette-only data (credentials, recent logs) fetches once the palette opens
Page surfaces (tables, files, knowledge, logs, canvas) register palette-only commands next to their handlers; gated invocations give feedback (e.g. a blocked deploy toasts the button tooltip's reason)
Shares the command chrome (search field + faded list) with the canvas connection selector; ports the palette onto the current base: emcn icon set, native browser-panel occlusion gating, scheduled-tasks retirement, and removal of the ?handoff=1 URL-signal machinery in favor of the inline chip-aware handoff consumer
Note for reviewers: the palette still unmounts on close, so the occlusion close-transition linger is intentionally not carried over — worth a desktop-app sanity check with a browser panel open

Type of Change

New feature

Testing

65 palette tests plus 202 across the touched areas pass; type-check, lint, and the full audit suite are green. Ask Sim auto-send live-verified end to end (cross-route: POST 200, chat created, message rendered)

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Large UX surface across routing, chat handoff, and many page-registered command ids; ranking and permission gating changes are easy to miss in manual QA but do not alter core auth or data APIs.

Overview
Rebuilds the workspace cmd+k palette around one section model: empty-query browse follows sidebar order (uncapped sections), typed queries merge-rank across sections with page-aware hoisting, action bias, and exact-name tiers (page names, module verbs like workflows/deploy/copy, trigger names).

Tab toggles Ask Sim mode; Enter sends the query as a new chat via mothership handoff (or direct send when Home is already mounted), with persistence failure keeping the palette open.

Page surfaces (tables, files, knowledge, logs, deploy) register palette-only global commands via useRegisterGlobalCommands; GlobalCommand.shortcut is now optional so those handlers are invoked by id. Gated actions (e.g. deploy) surface the same feedback as disabled UI (toast).

Search ranking uses a deferred query, kebab-cased secondary tokens (toSearchToken), stricter secondary-text matching, and tool operations browse-hidden but searchable. Docs group and search-modal sections / pendingConnect store fields are removed; logs and workspace logos join the palette.

Shared CommandSearch / CommandFadedList chrome replaces ad-hoc cmdk layout in the palette and connection block selector; result rendering consolidates on SearchEntryGroup with richer row metadata and shortcut hints.

Greptile Summary

The PR rebuilds the command palette around page-aware, globally ranked sections and adds Ask Sim handoff behavior.

Registers page-specific palette actions through the global command provider.
Adds unified search ranking, rendering, command chrome, and associated tests.
Updates deploy command eligibility to share the visible control’s loading and disabled guards.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains; both previously reported deploy paths are guarded in the current code, and the barrel-export concern was resolved as an intentional local convention.

Carries the former merge resolutions as one commit: the emcn icon set (SelectAll fit-to-view, Search chrome), native browser-panel occlusion gating, scheduled-tasks retirement, the chip-aware handoff consumer superseding the ?handoff=1 machinery, and Knowledge bases pluralization.

Auto-send still loses the message on cross-route navigation — use-chat's cleanup abort fires during Home's mount-settling effect cycle. Prefill restored, but via LandingPromptStorage directly so free-form queries are never mentionified into @ chips.

Re-lands the auto-send flip: with fix/mship-mount-send-loss beneath this branch, sends started during Home's mount-settling window survive the cleanup abort (queued, restored, re-dispatched), so the handoff no longer loses the query on cross-route navigation.

- rank against a deferred query and hoist search-independent derivations so typing never blocks on the cross-section re-rank - cache secondary-text tokenization (hottest per-keystroke loop) - skip building browse groups mid-search; gate the palette-only credentials and logs queries on the palette being open - flatten getGlobalSearchResults onto a spec-stable sort - drop the dead store-side SEARCH_SECTIONS/docs path, the no-op CommandSearch surface variant, a duplicate hex regex, a dead font-base class, and the TaskItem/FolderedItem shape overlap

The frost under the floating input reused the canvas card's --surface-2 gradient, which reads as a tinted band on the palette's --surface-4/ --surface-5 dialog (visible in dark mode). The CommandSearch surface variant returns — this time with genuinely different values — and the chrome test pins the host-matching fog.

…alog ring

- table import command respects the in-progress upload gate - Export CSV is offered to viewers (matching the header control) - palette mode flips with the deferred query the ranking ran against - a gated palette deploy reports the button tooltip's reason via toast

+ handler: () => {

+ onRequestImportCsv()
+ },


Silent locked CSV import
Medium Severity
table-import-csv still appears in the palette whenever canEdit is true, but the handler returns with no feedback when insertLocked is set. The header control is disabled for that lock, and the sibling table-new-column command already surfaces a blocked toast for schemaLocked, so a palette import on an insert-locked table looks selectable and then does nothing.

+ },


Silent empty CSV export
Low Severity
table-export-csv is always offered on table detail, but the handler no-ops when rowCount is 0. The header Export control is disabled for empty tables, so the palette path gives no indication why nothing happened—the same class of silent failure the deploy action was later fixed to toast for.
