Rich task title previews
Why
Task titles can be too long for a task row. Users also need a fast way to see the direct subtasks and contribution state without opening the parent task.
What
- A fine-pointer task row shows a preview after the user points at its title.
- The preview shows the full title and as many as 12 direct, active subtasks.
- Each subtask row shows its task state and its GitHub or GitLab contribution state.
- A keyboard user can focus the title trigger and open the same preview.
- A keyboard user can open a subtask without opening the parent task.
- A coarse-pointer device keeps the title's direct navigation action.
- On a task page, the mobile task switcher gives access to the same task tree.
- GitHub and GitLab status summaries use one provider-neutral presentation contract.
Data model
The feature adds no persistent data. It reads task and subtask data from the
existing task store. It reads pull requests from taskPRs.byTaskId. It reads
merge requests from taskMRs.byWorkspaceId[workspaceId].
The GitLab hydration hook shares an in-flight workspace request between mounted consumers. A later mount can start a fresh request. A successful request replaces the workspace cache. A failed request clears that workspace cache.
API surface
The feature adds no HTTP route, WebSocket message, or plugin API. It uses the existing workspace task, pull-request, and merge-request contracts.
The public status-summary presentation uses generic change-request concepts. Provider-specific code supplies labels, icons, test identifiers, and status rows.
Failure modes
- If a task has no active direct subtask, the preview shows only the full title.
- If GitLab refresh fails, the UI removes cached merge-request data for that workspace.
- If the device has no fine pointer, the UI does not mount a hover preview.
Scenarios
- GIVEN a clipped title, WHEN a user points at it, THEN the preview shows the full title.
- GIVEN a parent with active subtasks, WHEN the preview opens, THEN it shows each direct subtask up to the limit.
- GIVEN a focused title trigger, WHEN a user presses Enter, THEN the preview opens and moves focus into its interactive content.
- GIVEN an open preview, WHEN a user presses Enter on a subtask, THEN the app opens the subtask and not the parent.
- GIVEN a coarse-pointer device, WHEN a user taps the title, THEN the app opens the task without a preview.
- GIVEN two mounted GitLab hydration consumers, WHEN both request one workspace, THEN the frontend sends one request.
- GIVEN cached GitLab data, WHEN its refresh fails, THEN the cached workspace data is removed.
Out of scope
- The feature does not add nested preview levels.
- The feature does not add backend status projection fields.
- The feature does not change mobile task navigation.
