+# Prompt alias rendering
+
+## Overview
+
+Make recognized saved-prompt `@name` aliases render consistently as prompt chips
+in the transcript, the desktop anchored last-prompt bar, and desktop/mobile
+Prompt history without changing prompt delivery or persistence.
+
+## Delivery order
+
+1. Extract the existing transcript prompt-chip renderer into a reusable UI
+   module, keeping the existing matcher and entity-reference composition intact.
+2. Wire the anchored last-prompt bar and Prompt history rows to that shared
+   renderer.
+3. Add focused component tests for recognized and unknown aliases in both
+   surfaces, then extend the existing chat/pinned/history E2E coverage with one
+   end-to-end alias assertion where the seeded prompt is visible.
+
+The work is one vertical frontend slice with no dependency on backend changes.
+
+## Work orders
+
+- [task-01-render-prompt-aliases.md](task-01-render-prompt-aliases.md)
+
+## Verification strategy
+
+- Focused Vitest coverage for the shared renderer, `ChatMessage`,
+  `AnchoredLastPromptBar`, and `PromptHistoryPanelContent`.
+- Existing prompt alias and last-prompt Playwright flows, extended to assert
+  the chip in the pinned and history surfaces.
+- Frontend typecheck and lint after the targeted tests pass.
+
+## Risks and exclusions
+
+- Prompt history currently uses a single-line text projection; the fix must not
+  replace that layout with a second Markdown layout or break overflow detection.
+- Pinned content has no message metadata, so it reuses alias rendering but does
+  not gain entity-reference chips.
+- No changes to alias parsing, backend expansion, prompt persistence, or raw
+  message rendering.

+# Render saved prompt aliases consistently
+
+## Summary
+
+Reuse the transcript's saved-prompt chip presentation in the anchored last-
+prompt bar and Prompt history, with no change to persisted message content or
+agent delivery.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Extract the prompt-name subscription, prompt mention component factory, and
+  chip presentation from `apps/web/components/task/chat/messages/chat-message.tsx`
+  into a reusable module.
+- Keep `lib/prompts/prompt-mention-segments` as the only matching implementation.
+- Pass shared Markdown components to
+  `apps/web/components/task/chat/anchored-last-prompt-bar.tsx`.
+- Render recognized aliases through the shared text renderer in
+  `apps/web/components/task/prompt-history-panel-content.tsx` while preserving
+  its collapsed overflow measurement, expansion cap, navigation, and mobile
+  hit area.
+- Add focused Vitest assertions for recognized and unrecognized aliases in the
+  pinned and history surfaces; retain existing transcript assertions.
+- Extend the relevant existing Playwright coverage if the fixture can seed a
+  saved prompt without introducing a separate test-only data path.
+
+## Exclusions
+
+- Prompt parser, backend expansion, prompt persistence, APIs, WebSocket payloads,
+  entity-reference behavior, prompt numbers, and raw-message rendering.
+- General Markdown redesign or a second Prompt history layout.
+
+## Likely files
+
+- `apps/web/components/task/chat/messages/chat-message.tsx`
+- `apps/web/components/task/chat/messages/prompt-mention-components.tsx`
+- `apps/web/components/task/chat/messages/chat-message.test.tsx`
+- `apps/web/components/task/chat/anchored-last-prompt-bar.tsx`

+- `apps/web/e2e/tests/chat/last-prompt-scroll.spec.ts`
+- `apps/web/e2e/tests/task/prompt-history-panel.spec.ts`
+
+## Targeted verification
+
+```text
+cd apps/web && pnpm exec vitest run \
+  components/task/chat/messages/chat-message.test.tsx \
+  components/task/chat/anchored-last-prompt-bar.test.tsx \
+  components/task/prompt-history-panel-content.test.tsx
+cd apps/web && pnpm run typecheck
+cd apps/web && pnpm exec eslint \
+  components/task/chat/messages/chat-message.tsx \
+  components/task/chat/messages/prompt-mention-components.tsx \
+  components/task/chat/anchored-last-prompt-bar.tsx \
+  components/task/prompt-history-panel-content.tsx
+```
+
+Run the focused Playwright spec only when the local E2E backend/profile is
+available:
+
+```text
+cd apps/web && pnpm exec playwright test \
+  e2e/tests/chat/last-prompt-scroll.spec.ts \
+  e2e/tests/task/prompt-history-panel.spec.ts
+```
+
+## Risks
+
+The history row is intentionally not converted to block Markdown: its one-line
+collapsed projection depends on measuring a text span. The shared text renderer
+must therefore produce the same chip nodes without changing row geometry.

+# Prompt Alias Rendering Requirements
+
+## Overview
+
+Saved prompts can be referenced in user messages with an `@name` alias. The
+transcript already presents recognized aliases as prompt chips, but the same
+message content is rendered differently in the anchored last-prompt bar and
+Prompt history. Consistent presentation lets users identify referenced prompt
+content regardless of which transcript surface they are reading.
+
+## Terminology
+
+- **Saved prompt alias:** An `@name` token recognized by the existing prompt
+  mention matcher and corresponding to a saved prompt in the prompt store.
+- **Prompt chip:** The transcript's visual representation of a recognized saved
+  prompt alias, including its hover preview when content is available.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### REQ-UI-PROMPT-ALIAS-001: Consistent saved prompt alias presentation
+
+**Intent:** Show recognized saved prompt aliases consistently across transcript
+surfaces without changing the message content sent to agents.
+
+**User story:** As a task reader, I want saved prompt aliases to look the same
+in the transcript, pinned last-prompt bar, and Prompt history, so that I can
+recognize referenced prompts while reviewing any surface.
+
+#### Acceptance criteria
+
+- **AC-UI-PROMPT-ALIAS-001.1:** When a user message contains an alias matching a
+  saved prompt, the transcript, anchored last-prompt bar, and Prompt history
+  shall render that alias as the same prompt chip, including its saved-prompt
+  name metadata and hover preview when the saved prompt has content.
+- **AC-UI-PROMPT-ALIAS-001.2:** When a user message contains an unrecognized
+  `@` token, each surface shall leave it as ordinary text using the existing
+  prompt-name matching rules; rendering shall not invent a chip for an unknown
+  name.
+- **AC-UI-PROMPT-ALIAS-001.3:** Alias chips shall continue to render inside the
+  existing Markdown structures supported by the transcript renderer. Rich
+  Markdown code spans and link destinations shall remain ordinary rendered
+  content, while aliases in link labels may use the chip's visual treatment
+  without creating nested interactive controls. The pinned and history surfaces
+  shall preserve their current compact, expandable, and scrollable behavior.
+- **AC-UI-PROMPT-ALIAS-001.4:** Updating the saved prompt collection shall update
+  alias chip recognition and hover content in mounted pinned or history views;
+  the fix shall not alter persisted message text, prompt expansion semantics, or
+  the raw-message view.
+- **AC-UI-PROMPT-ALIAS-001.5:** The presentation shall remain available on
+  desktop and phone Prompt history surfaces, while preserving the existing
+  desktop-only visibility rule for the anchored last-prompt bar.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Changing prompt alias parsing, matching, expansion depth, or agent delivery.
+- Changing saved prompt persistence, prompt CRUD, or message APIs.
+- Adding prompt numbers, navigation behavior, or new Markdown features.
+- Rendering aliases in passthrough, comments, plans, or unrelated editors.

+# Prompt Alias Rendering System Design
+
+## Purpose and boundaries
+
+The UI system owns the presentation contract for saved prompt aliases across
+multiple task transcript surfaces. Prompt data and alias matching remain owned
+by the existing prompt store and `lib/prompts/prompt-mention-segments` helpers.
+Agent-facing prompt expansion and persistence are unchanged.
+
+## Requirement mapping
+
+| Requirement               | Design section                                                                                     |
+| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `REQ-UI-PROMPT-ALIAS-001` | [Components and responsibilities](#components-and-responsibilities), [Control flow](#control-flow) |
+
+## Components and responsibilities
+
+- `lib/prompts/prompt-mention-segments` remains the single matcher. It builds
+  normalized prompt names and splits text into ordinary and recognized prompt
+  segments.
+- A shared prompt-mention presentation module under
+  `apps/web/components/task/chat/messages/` owns the prompt chip, prompt lookup,
+  and Markdown component factory currently embedded in `chat-message.tsx`.
+  It exposes both the Markdown components used by rich transcript content and a
+  text-segment renderer for single-line Prompt history rows.
+- `ChatMessage` consumes the shared factory for the existing transcript user
+  bubble. Its entity-reference component composition remains transcript-owned.
+- `AnchoredLastPromptBar` passes the shared prompt components to
+  `MemoizedMarkdown` after stripping system tags, preserving the existing
+  Markdown renderer and height/overflow behavior.
+- `PromptHistoryPanelContent` uses the shared text-segment renderer in both
+  the collapsed and expanded row content. The row keeps its current text span,
+  truncation measurement, expansion cap, navigation, and touch sizing. Content-
+  bearing chips remain keyboard-focusable and intercept activation so keyboard
+  and touch preview access does not navigate the row. Chips rendered inside
+  Markdown links are visual-only, avoiding nested interactive semantics while
+  preserving link activation.
+- `MemoizedMarkdown` remains the common Markdown renderer and continues to
+  normalize content through its existing cache. The change does not add raw HTML
+  or alter the Markdown safety policy.
+
+## Data and contracts
+
+No backend, HTTP, WebSocket, or persistence contract changes. The shared UI
+renderer reads `state.prompts.items`, matching the existing transcript path.
+Recognized aliases are represented by the existing `custom-prompt-mention`
+test ID and `data-prompt-name` attribute. Unknown aliases remain text.
+
+The shared Markdown factory accepts optional entity-reference components so the
+transcript can preserve its current entity chip behavior, while pinned content
+(which has no message metadata) and history rows use the empty entity-reference
+set.
+
+## Control flow
+
+1. Each mounted surface derives prompt names from the current prompt store.
+2. The shared matcher identifies only recognized aliases using the existing
+   boundary and name rules, excluding code spans and link destinations.
+3. Rich Markdown surfaces pass the shared component map to `MemoizedMarkdown`,
+   which injects prompt chips into supported Markdown block children.
+4. Prompt history passes each plain row text through the shared segment renderer,
+   preserving the row's single-line CSS measurement and expanded layout.
+5. A chip looks up its current saved prompt by name. Existing non-empty prompts
+   receive the hover preview; empty or missing content receives the existing
+   title-only chip.
+6. Store updates invalidate the derived names/components through React store
+   subscriptions, so mounted views reconcile without changing message data.
+
+## Failure and recovery
+
+If the prompt store is not loaded or a name is absent, the alias is rendered as
+ordinary text or a title-only chip according to the existing transcript behavior.
+The renderer never modifies or expands persisted message content. If a surface
+has no prompt text, its current empty state remains unchanged.
+
+## Security
+
+The change only reuses the existing prompt chip and `MemoizedMarkdown` safety
+path. Prompt content shown in hover previews remains the same content already
+available to the authenticated prompt store. No new HTML, URL, or navigation
+handling is introduced.
+
+## Observability
+
+No new runtime metrics or logs are required. Unit coverage will assert shared
+recognized/unknown behavior and surface-specific rendering; existing anchored
+bar, ChatMessage, and Prompt history E2E coverage remains the behavioral smoke
+signal.
