Implementation Plan: Mobile Quick Chat Topbar

Overview

Stack this follow-up on PR #1751 (feature/quick-chat-on-mobile-wnn), which already supplies the mobile and tablet Quick Chat entry points, task-switcher access, and the mobile close control. Use PageTopbar's leading slot for a workspace-preserving Kandev home link, keep the Home title out of the mobile root header while respecting existing page-title visibility, and add focused component and mobile Playwright coverage for the remaining behavior.

Frontend

• In apps/web/components/kanban/kanban-header-mobile.tsx, retain PR #1751's Quick Chat action, render the Kandev wordmark as an accessible link using workspaceHomeHref, and render the existing left-side title/context only for non-Home pages.
• Do not change PR #1751's Quick Chat modal, tablet header, task switcher, state, APIs, or responsive breakpoints.

Backend

No backend changes. The existing Quick Chat launcher and modal contracts are reused.

Tests

• What: the mobile Home header has a workspace-preserving Kandev link, omits the redundant Home label, and keeps Quick Chat immediately before Search. File: apps/web/components/kanban/kanban-header-mobile.test.tsx. How: render with StateProvider, expose PageTopbar slots through the existing mock, and assert accessible roles, link target, absence of Home text, conditional rendering without a workspace, and DOM order.
• What: a non-Home header retains its page title and workspace label. File: apps/web/components/kanban/kanban-header-mobile.test.tsx. How: retain and update the existing Tasks-header component test.

E2E Tests

• Scenario: on mobile Tasks, tapping the Kandev wordmark returns to the active workspace's Home board. File: apps/web/e2e/tests/chat/mobile-quick-chat-entry.spec.ts. What to verify: accessible link, resulting / route with the active workspace preserved, the absence of a redundant Home label, and no horizontal overflow.

Implementation Task

• task-01-mobile-topbar (done)

Verification

From apps/web:

pnpm test -- components/kanban/kanban-header-mobile.test.tsx
pnpm e2e:run --host --project mobile-chrome -- tests/chat/mobile-quick-chat-entry.spec.ts

From the repository root, after the focused checks pass:

make fmt
make typecheck
make test
make lint

Risks

• Mobile topbar width is constrained when metrics are enabled; rendered E2E verification must confirm the combined stacked header does not overlap, wrap, or introduce horizontal scrolling.
• The home link must preserve the selected workspace rather than relying on a stale global workspace preference.
