📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Quick create now uses a matching standup member as its default assignee and retains unfinished drafts when closed. Selecting a duplicate suggestion closes quick create and opens an issue preview. The rich-text editor can initialize from a saved JSON document.

Changes

Quick-create issue flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Standup assignee defaults
apps/web/src/features/issues/workspace-provider.tsx, apps/web/src/features/issues/quick-create.tsx, apps/web/tests/features/issues/workspace-provider.test.tsx
On /standup, the workspace provider resolves the person query parameter against workspace members and passes a matching ID to quick create. Tests cover matching, missing, unassigned, and unknown members, and verify the selected assignee is used.
Draft and editor state
apps/web/src/features/docs/editor/rich-text-editor.tsx, apps/web/src/features/issues/quick-create.tsx, apps/web/tests/features/issues/quick-create.test.tsx
Quick create retains draft fields and pending attachments across ordinary closes. Successful creation resets the draft when “Create more” is off. The rich-text editor accepts JSON content as initial content. Tests cover draft retention and reset behavior.
Duplicate preview and keyboard priority
apps/web/src/features/issues/duplicate-suggestions.tsx, apps/web/src/features/issues/issue-peek.tsx, apps/web/src/features/issues/issue-detail.tsx, apps/web/src/features/issues/issue-properties.tsx, apps/web/src/features/issues/quick-create.tsx, apps/web/e2e/standup-task-drafts.spec.ts, apps/web/tests/features/issues/duplicate-suggestions.test.tsx, apps/web/tests/features/issues/issue-properties.test.tsx, apps/web/tests/features/issues/quick-create.test.tsx
Selecting a duplicate opens an issue preview and closes quick create. Issue hotkeys use the preview layer’s priority while the preview is open. Tests cover suggestion activation, preview interactions, shortcut targeting, and draft preservation.

Thanks for your first pull request to Orbit.

Two things that will save you a review round: bun run verify runs the
same four checks CI does, and the repo has no comments in code by policy,
so bun run check-comments will flag any you added out of habit.

A maintainer will review this shortly. Ask anything on the thread.

This is a nice improvement, and most of it holds up well. I checked where drafts live. They're in-memory state in the dialog, which stays mounted in the workspace provider, so nothing crosses workspaces or users: switching workspace does a full load, and sign-out leaves the (app) layout. A failed create keeps the draft, and a successful one clears it. The standup prefill handles "Everyone", unassigned and people who've left. It lines up with #509's canonical links. The three changed test files pass (73), and the peek, board, list and standup suites are green. Typecheck, biome and the comment check are clean.

One thing to fix before merge:

Property hotkeys in the similar-issue preview act on the wrong issue. On /issue/ENG-1 (and in the inbox with an issue selected), the page already mounts an IssueDetailView, and its IssueProperties registers s, p, a, r, i, l, shift+e, shift+d and m at the default global priority. The new preview peek mounts a second IssueDetailView with the same bindings at the same priority. selectMatch in lib/keyboard/registry.ts only replaces the current best on a strictly higher priority, and the dispatcher has no layer gating, so the first registration wins: the page's. Concretely: open ENG-1, press c, type a title that matches ENG-2, and open the suggestion. With focus in the preview, pressing s opens ENG-1's status menu, and picking a state patches ENG-1, not the issue on screen. shift+m opens ENG-1's duplicate picker the same way. Before this PR a peek never coexisted with a mounted detail view, which is why nothing caught it. Please make the preview's detail own those keys: register them at HOTKEY_PRIORITY.layer when rendered inside a peek, or disable the page's properties hotkeys while a preview is open. Add a test that opens a preview over a mounted detail view and asserts s targets the previewed issue.

Smaller things:

  1. openQuickCreate now depends on pathname (and members), so the whole WorkspaceData memo is rebuilt on every navigation, including the stateById, labelById and memberById maps, and every useWorkspace() consumer re-renders. The callback already reads window.location when it runs; a ref for the path would keep it stable.
  2. The suggestion rows still show the ExternalLink icon, but a plain click now opens the in-app sidebar.
  3. Several new behaviours aren't pinned by a unit test. Removing each of these still passes: setPreview(null) on route change, setPreview(null) when the dialog reopens (the peek and dialog would both show), the onCloseAutoFocus prevention, and the key={summary.identifier} added to IssueDetailView, which affects every peek. Please cover at least the first two and the key.

The code side is right now, nice work. I checked each fix by running it, not just reading it:

  • Preview shortcuts. I mounted the real IssueDetailView for ENG-1 with a real IssuePeek preview of ENG-2 over it. All nine property keys, shift+m and delete act on ENG-2 and never on ENG-1, and they go back to ENG-1 once the preview closes. m on a preview with no project is swallowed instead of opening the page's milestone menu. No other binding uses those keys, so raising every peek to layer priority doesn't take a key from anything else.
  • Workspace context. WorkspaceData keeps its reference across navigation, and the standup assignee is still read correctly at call time. Your new test fails if pathname goes back into the deps.
  • Icon. Fixed.
  • Merge with main. It merges cleanly with #514 and #508, now on main. On the merged tree, typecheck, biome and the comment check are clean, and 622 issue, standup, keyboard and component tests pass.

What's still missing is tests, which the last review asked for and which CLAUDE.md requires for anything that would break silently:

  1. The four behaviours from last time still have no unit test. Removing any one of these still passes all 126 quick-create, peek, board and list tests:
    • setPreview(null) on route change
    • setPreview(null) when the dialog reopens, without which the peek and the dialog show together
    • the onCloseAutoFocus prevention
    • the key={summary.identifier} on IssueDetailView, which affects every peek
  2. The wrong-issue fix itself isn't pinned by a unit test. Your issue-properties tests set hotkeyPriority directly, so deleting the hotkeyPriority={HOTKEY_PRIORITY.layer} line in issue-peek.tsx still passes all 39 of them. Only the new e2e spec catches it. Please add a DOM test that renders a detail view for one issue with a preview peek of another over it, presses s (and shift+m), and asserts the preview's menu opens and the page's doesn't.

With those in, this is good to merge.

This line is the actual fix for the wrong-issue shortcuts, but no unit test fails if it's removed: the issue-properties tests pass the prop directly. A test rendering a page detail view plus a preview peek, pressing s, would pin it.
