Sidebar Diff Stat Priority
Why
An active task in the desktop sidebar currently retains row focus after it is selected. That focus exposes the overflow control and obscures its addition/deletion totals, making the most useful progress signal disappear exactly when the task is active.
What
- A desktop/fine-pointer sidebar task row with non-zero diff stats shows its
+additionsand-deletionstotals while idle, including when the row is the active task or has row focus. - Hovering that row temporarily replaces the diff totals with the Task actions ellipsis control.
- Opening the task context menu keeps its trigger visible while the menu is open; closing the menu restores the idle diff totals unless the pointer remains over the row.
- Keyboard users can still discover and operate the Task actions control when the control itself receives keyboard focus. Row focus alone does not replace the diff totals.
- Rows without diff stats retain their existing action-control behavior.
- The phone task-switcher drawer retains its existing explicit controls: non-zero diff totals and the 44px Task actions button remain visible together, with no hover-only requirement.
Scenarios
- GIVEN an active desktop sidebar task with non-zero additions or deletions, WHEN the pointer is not over its row, THEN the row displays its diff totals and does not display the Task actions ellipsis.
- GIVEN a desktop sidebar task with non-zero diff totals, WHEN the user hovers the row, THEN the Task actions ellipsis replaces the totals and can open the existing context menu.
- GIVEN a desktop sidebar task with non-zero diff totals and a closed context menu, WHEN keyboard focus reaches the Task actions button, THEN the button becomes visible and usable without treating focus on the row itself as hover.
- GIVEN a phone task-switcher row with non-zero diff totals, WHEN the task switcher opens, THEN the totals and the touch-sized Task actions button remain visible without overlap.
Out of scope
- Changing task diff calculation, task-status summary delivery, or the displayed numbers.
- Changing context-menu actions, task selection, focus ownership, or sidebar navigation.
- Redesigning the mobile task-switcher drawer, its action sheet, or its touch-target sizing.
