feat(web): add retry on the last reply and copy on user messages#114elkaix wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Assistant runs already had a copy button and the last user message already had undo. Two gaps remained: no way to retry a reply, and no way to copy your own message. Retry is gated to the final assistant run. The underlying operation undoes the last exchange whatever was clicked, so a retry on an older message would destroy the wrong turn. It also keeps a confirm step, because the discarded reply cannot be recovered.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe web UI adds copy buttons for user messages and retry controls for the latest eligible assistant response. Retry requires confirmation, forwards through ChangesWeb message actions
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Retry currently drops image attachments, which can resend a different request or an empty one, and the new actions are inaccessible through normal keyboard navigation. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded issues are fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Preserve attachments during retry.
client.undo(1) returns only text. handleRegenerate then calls sendPrompt without attachments. A retry of a user turn with images changes the original request. An image-only turn resends an empty prompt.
Change the undo/retry contract to recover prompt attachments and pass them to sendPrompt. Add coverage for text-plus-image and image-only turns.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Keep the new actions in the keyboard tab order.
tabindex="-1" removes Retry in both layouts and desktop user-copy from sequential keyboard navigation. Keyboard-only users cannot start these actions. Remove tabindex="-1" from these buttons.

Summary
Per-message actions were already partly built: assistant runs carry a copy button in both layouts, and the most recent user message carries an undo / edit-and-resend affordance. Two gaps remained.
Retry on the final assistant run. It sits beside the existing copy button in both layouts, asks for confirmation, then undoes the exchange and sends the original prompt again.
Copy on user messages, in both layouts. It reuses the existing copied-state timer and icons, appears on every user turn rather than only the last, and is skipped on skill-activation turns whose text is not what the user typed.
The constraint behind the gating
client.undo(1)removes the last exchange regardless of which message was clicked. A Retry button on an older assistant message would therefore destroy the wrong turn. It is gated by two independent conditions — the run must be the final assistant run, and its preceding user turn must be the last user turn — plus the same idle guardscanEditTurnalready uses (!running,!sending, no skill activation).Retry keeps a confirm step, matching the existing undo. The discarded reply cannot be recovered, so a single click must not fire it.
No read-aloud, ratings, branching, or response versions. Those are product features this app does not have.
Verification
Run from the repository root:
pnpm run lint— exit 0, no error linespnpm -C apps/pythinker-web run typecheck— exit 0pnpm -C apps/pythinker-web exec vitest run— 339 passed, 59 files13 new tests in
test/message-actions.test.ts. I mutation-checked the older-message guard by hand after the run: removing one of the two conditions keeps the suite green, because the other still excludes older runs; removing both turns it red. The redundancy is deliberate, and the coverage is real.Summary by CodeRabbit
