Before submitting

  • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
  • I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

apps/web

Steps to reproduce

  1. Trigger any action that fails (e.g., a git push that results in a non-fast-forward error, or a GitHub CLI command that fails)
  2. The "Action failed" toast/notification appears on the right side of the screen
  3. Try to dismiss the notification - there is no close button and no intuitive way to remove it
  4. The notification stays on screen indefinitely, blocking part of the UI

Expected behavior

The "Action failed" notification should either:

  • Auto-dismiss after a reasonable timeout, OR
  • Have a visible close/dismiss button to remove it manually

Currently there is no way to close it on Windows. This was previously reported in #419 and #390 (both closed as "not planned"), but the issue persists. A maintainer noted in #419 that a close button should be added, but this was never implemented.

Actual behavior

The "Action failed" notification persists on screen indefinitely with no close button and no way to dismiss it. On Windows, there is no intuitive gesture (like swiping) to remove it. The notification blocks part of the UI and remains until the app is restarted.
