feat(inbox): show relative timestamp on signal cards#2240
Merged
Conversation
Adds a reusable RelativeTimestamp component (relative "n ago" text with the exact locale datetime in a hover tooltip) and renders it in the signal card header so every signal in the report detail view shows when it was created.

Prompt To Fix All With AIFix the following 2 code review issues. Work through them one at a time, proposing concise fixes.

### Issue 1 of 2
apps/code/src/renderer/components/ui/RelativeTimestamp.tsx:28
Trailing space in className when `className` prop is omitted. The template `"... ${className ?? ""}"` produces a trailing space when no className is provided. This is a minor spacing issue per the project's template string conventions. Using a conditional insertion is cleaner.
```suggestion
className={`shrink-0 text-(--gray-10) text-[11px]${className ? ` ${className}` : ""}`}
```
### Issue 2 of 2
apps/code/src/renderer/components/ui/RelativeTimestamp.tsx:30
**Stale relative time display**
`formatRelativeTimeLong` is called once at render time and computes `Date.now() - date.getTime()`, but the component has no mechanism to re-run as wall-clock time advances. A user who leaves the inbox view open will see the label freeze (e.g. "1 minute ago" stays forever). Consider driving a periodic re-render with a `useState` + `useEffect`/`setInterval` that ticks every minute, or using a shared time-tick context.
