Closes #351

Inspectors → Work Column: retire the bottom panel

This PR rewrites both inspectors as Work Column tabs and deletes the bottom panel, per ADR 0006.

Extension (harmoniqs/amicode)

  • package.json: remove amicode-panel viewsContainers.panel container, amicode.runInspector/amicode.deviceInspector views, amicode.inspectorRevealed/amicode.deviceInspectorRevealed context gates, amicode.openInspector/openDeviceInspector commands, and amicode.inspector.autoOpen config
  • Delete all bottom-panel webview code: run_inspector.ts, device_inspector.ts, their *_webview.ts entry points, media/ui/views/inspector.ts + device_inspector.ts, and their esbuild.config.mjs entries (vanilla TS → SolidJS, ~600 lines)
  • Remove live-solve titlebar indicator: status_bar.ts now shows server-ready only; the Run Inspector tab is the sole surface for solve status (ADR 0006 flip condition)
  • Bridge: new inspector_bridge.ts — typed RunBridgeMessage/DeviceBridgeMessage fan-out (run:iteration, run:pulse-meta, run:pulse, run:completion, run:activate, run:label, run:timing, device:status, device:actions, device:activate) broadcast to every live ChatPanel/DeckPanel webview; reverse device:refresh handled in chat_bridge.ts
  • RunsManager: posts via bridge instead of getInspector() (postRunIteration/postRunPulseMeta/postRunPulse/postRunCompletion/postRunActivate/postRunLabel/postRunTiming); no longer takes statusBar and no longer stamps stall on it
  • Device poll: extension.ts:refreshDeviceInspector posts to bridge instead of DeviceInspector webview
  • ChatPanel/DeckPanel: register as bridge posters, relay new run:/device: kinds via outer→iframe lane (broadcast to every iframe); deck shell forwards both directions
  • sse_client: no longer calls getInspector().reveal() on tool completion
  • Tests: delete inspector_view_contract, device_inspector_view, inspector_webview_view; update runs_manager.test, remote_statemachine.test, smoke_corpus.test to mock inspector_bridge; shrink status_bar.test to server-ready contract; fix executor_branches S12 pin

App (harmoniqs/opencode — companion PR)

The Work Column (~320px, SolidJS, per-session buffered tabs) will carry:

  • Run Inspector tab: auto-opens on run:activate/run:iteration, live iter/objective/inf display, pulse line chart at 320px column width, run picker for multi-run, fidelity/iteration/timing on completion, closable with buffered reopen
  • Device Inspector tab: auto-opens on device:activate, drive lines, qubit rollup, metrics with staleness, calibration params, recommended actions, device picker, device:refresh reverse

Extension already fans messages; the app PR adds the SolidJS tab components and their postMessage listeners (session-scoped stores, retainContextWhenHidden parity). Pulse plot responsive to column resize.

Verification: pnpm --filter amicode typecheck (no run_inspector residual), vitest fast suite (updated mocks), manual: launch solve → Run Inspector tab auto-opens with live chart; configure device → Device Inspector tab appears.

Companion opencode PR to follow on harmoniqs/opencode:local/amicode.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added unified event handling for run progress and device updates.
    • Added device refresh support through chat and panel interfaces.
    • Forwarded run and device activity to active chat and deck views.
  • Removed

    • Removed the legacy Run Inspector and Device Inspector panels, commands, and settings.
    • Run activity is no longer displayed in the status bar; selecting it now opens chat.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved consistency of run and device event delivery across extension views.

- Remove amicode-panel bottom panel container from package.json (viewsContainers.panel, views amicode-panel, activationEvents, context keys)
- Delete bottom-panel webview code (run_inspector.ts, device_inspector.ts, their webview entries and vanilla TS view builders)
- Remove live-solve status bar indicator (status_bar.ts now server-ready only; Run Inspector tab is sole surface)
- Add inspector_bridge.ts typed postMessage fan-out (run:iteration/pulse-meta/pulse/completion/activate/label/timing, device:status/actions/activate) with broadcast to all ChatPanel/DeckPanel webviews
- RunsManager posts via bridge instead of deleted webview (per-run activate/label fan-out preserved, no status bar coupling)
- Device poll loop posts to bridge instead of DeviceInspector webview
- ChatPanel/DeckPanel register as bridge posters and relay new message kinds via outer→iframe lane (run:*/device:*, broadcast to all panes)
- Deck shell forwards extension→pane inspector messages to every iframe and reverse device:refresh to extension
- Chat bridge handles reverse device:refresh → amicode.device.refresh
- sse_client no longer reveals bottom panel on tool completion
- esbuild entries for deleted webviews removed
- Tests updated to mock inspector_bridge and new status bar contract

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The extension removes native Run Inspector and Device Inspector webviews. It adds a typed inspector bridge for run and device events, forwards messages through Work Column panels, updates device refresh commands, and migrates run and status-bar integration tests.

Changes

Inspector migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed inspector bridge
packages/extension/src/inspector_bridge.ts
Defines typed run and device messages, registers webview posters, broadcasts updates, and provides test seams.
Run and device event routing
packages/extension/src/runs_manager.ts, packages/extension/src/extension.ts, packages/extension/src/status_bar.ts
Routes run telemetry and device updates through the bridge. Removes native inspector activation and run-state status-bar handling.
Panel forwarding and refresh commands
packages/extension/src/chat_panel.ts, packages/extension/src/deck_panel.ts, packages/extension/src/deck/shell.ts, packages/extension/src/chat_bridge.ts
Forwards bridge envelopes to Work Column webviews and handles device:refresh requests.
Bottom-panel removal and validation
packages/extension/package.json, packages/extension/esbuild.config.mjs, packages/extension/test/*
Removes inspector manifest entries and bundles. Updates tests to assert bridge behavior and server-ready status-bar text.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f3f1c

The PR removes the bottom-panel inspectors and routes live run and device updates through the Work Column. At the current head, those updates can fail to reach the UI, startup state can be lost for later-opened panels, and device refresh can act on the wrong device, leaving inspectors blank or stale; merge should be blocked until these issues are corrected.

Restore the quiet-replay assertions.

The test name states that boot replay is quiet. The test only checks selectedRun. A boot-time call to postRunLabel or postRunActivate would pass this test and can open a Work Column tab for a stale run. Assert that both methods are not called after m.start(), unless boot replay is intentionally no longer quiet.

Preserve the requested device in the refresh command.

Line 588 validates device, but Line 589 discards it. The registered command calls refreshDeviceInspector, which reads the configured device name in packages/extension/src/extension.ts Lines 143-147. A refresh from another buffered device card therefore refreshes and publishes the configured device instead of the requested device.

Pass the device through the command path. If only the configured device is supported, reject a mismatched request before publishing unrelated status.

Use kind for inspector bridge envelopes.

Lines 12-28 define type, and Line 40 preserves it. packages/extension/src/chat_panel.ts Line 276 and packages/extension/src/deck/shell.ts Lines 412-413 only forward d.kind. As a result, every run:* and device:* bridge event stops at the outer webview.

Normalize both bridge directions on kind, or map type to kind when broadcast creates the envelope.

Proposed relay mapping
 function broadcast(msg: InspectorBridgeMessage): void {
-  const envelope = { source: "amicode", ...msg };
+  const { type: kind, ...payload } = msg;
+  const envelope = { source: "amicode", kind, ...payload };

Replay current inspector state to newly registered posters.

The bridge drops every event when posters is empty. RunsManager.start() runs during activation before server readiness opens a ChatPanel, so startup replay and early live events are lost. A panel opened later receives only future events and cannot reconstruct an existing run.

Add a registration-time snapshot or replay protocol that supplies complete current run and device state to each new poster. Do not rely on future events alone.
