- Extract Start Here functionality into reusable utilities: - src/utils/startHere.ts: Core logic for replacing chat history - src/hooks/useStartHere.ts: React hook for Start Here button state - Update ProposePlanToolCall to use shared hook (DRY) - Add Start Here button to final Assistant messages - Update MessageWindow ButtonConfig to support disabled state - Update documentation to reflect new 'Start Here' naming and availability This allows users to restart conversations from either plans or final assistant responses, providing more flexibility in context management. _Generated with `cmux`_
- Create src/constants/ui.ts with COMPACTED_EMOJI constant (📦) - Update all uses of compacted emoji to use shared constant: - AssistantMessage compacted badge - Start Here button label - Add isCompacted parameter to useStartHere hook - Disable Start Here button if message is already compacted - Pass isCompacted flag from AssistantMessage to hook This prevents confusion from trying to 'Start Here' on a message that's already the result of a Start Here operation, and ensures the emoji is consistent across all compacted-related UI elements. _Generated with `cmux`_

The button was showing as disabled on compacted messages, but it should be completely hidden. Updated the conditional to check !isCompacted before adding the button to the buttons array. _Generated with `cmux`_
**UX Improvements:** - Emoji (📦) now shows only on hover to reduce visual clutter - Added tooltip explaining what Start Here does - Added countdown modal with 3s delay before execution - ESC or Cancel button aborts the operation - Confirm Now button skips countdown **Implementation:** - Created StartHereModal component with countdown timer - Updated useStartHere hook to return modal state management - Extended ButtonConfig to support emoji and tooltip - Created ButtonWithHoverEmoji component for hover effect - Integrated TooltipWrapper for helpful tooltips **Safety:** - Users have 3 seconds to cancel - Clear warning about irreversibility - ESC key cancels operation at any time _Generated with `cmux`_

- Removed Cancel and Confirm Now buttons - Simple centered layout with "Compacting in" + large countdown number - ESC still cancels (built into Modal component) - Much cleaner, less overwhelming UX _Generated with `cmux`_
- Removed countdown timer entirely - Simple confirmation dialog with centered OK and Cancel buttons - Much more straightforward UX - Still shows warning that action cannot be undone - ESC still cancels (built into Modal component) _Generated with `cmux`_
The subtitle already explains what the action does, so the additional warning text was redundant. Modal is now cleaner and more concise. _Generated with `cmux`_
- useStartHere hook now returns a pre-configured 'modal' component
- Both AssistantMessage and ProposePlanToolCall just render {modal}
- Removed duplicate StartHereModal imports and configuration
- Single source of truth for modal behavior
**Before:**
- Both components imported StartHereModal
- Both manually wired up isModalOpen, onClose, onConfirm
**After:**
- Hook returns ready-to-render modal
- Components just use {modal}
- Less boilerplate, better encapsulation

Since startHereWithMessage is only called by useStartHere, it makes more sense to colocate them. This reduces indirection and makes the code easier to follow. Changes: - Moved startHereWithMessage from src/utils/startHere.ts into src/hooks/useStartHere.ts - Made it a private function (not exported) - Deleted src/utils/startHere.ts _Generated with `cmux`_
