Change (owner request)

Ctrl+K / Cmd+K primarily switches between running workflows, Crews, Code and Relays, while also providing navigation when the shared sidebar is hidden.

• Open the same switcher from every product, including Video, Dominion, SparkQuill and Vault.
• Keep running or waiting work before idle/recent work in the default list, with another running item initially selected when possible. Local streaming turns are included before the server session appears. Product/menu entries appear on search or under @products / @menus, keeping the default focused on work. Existing scopes and project/session restore paths remain available.
• A scheduled Crew with a view-only tab remains listed as an active session when no project row represents it; suppress only duplicates actually shown.
• Search product names or Activity, Schedules and triggers, Providers, Users and access, and Connect an AI agent (MCP). Apply the sidebar's product/role gates, and recheck navigation access on activation. Open shared pages on an allowed surface that renders them and clear previous overlays.
• Crew/Code and Vault builder restoration preserves a requested global page instead of dismissing it when asynchronous chat preparation completes.
• On changing to Auto-hide, show an eight-second dismissible shortcut hint with an Open quick navigation action. A reload of a saved preference does not repeat the hint.

Validation

• Frontend type checking passed.
• Eleven targeted suites passed (36 tests): switcher directories, Relay routing, active scope, scroll request and cached opening, product/menu navigation and access gates, sidebar preference/hint, shared navigation, preference hook, and Vault restoration including global-page protection.
• Isolated browser preview of the real shell/switcher verified running work first, product search and Users navigation from another product, shortcut opening, and sidebar hint/reveal behavior.
• The wider run again encountered the pre-existing Work chat-selection initialization failure tracked in PLAT-459; 37 tests passed in its other eleven suites before the final running-priority refinements.

Left

PLAT-464 extends this navigation with clickable footer icons and browse/product/menu entries at the bottom of the default scrollable list; users no longer need to search or type a scope to discover these destinations.

Deployment and verification on deployed product surfaces. PLAT-459 remains open independently.
