Two unrelated UX bugs, both small surgical fixes with regression tests.
Issue #1432 — "+" button doesn't open new chat during streaming
================================================================
Reported by @Olyno: clicking "+" after sending a first message keeps
redirecting to the same chat instead of opening a new blank conversation,
making parallel chats impossible until the first response finishes.
Root cause:
static/boot.js:691 (and the Cmd/Ctrl+K branch at :844) had an empty-session
guard from #1171 that skipped newSession() when message_count===0:
if(S.session && (S.session.message_count||0)===0){
$('msg').focus(); closeMobileSidebar(); return;
}
But during the first user turn of a brand-new session, message_count is
still 0 server-side because the user message hasn't been merged into
s.messages yet. The guard treated that as "empty" and silently dropped
the click, blocking parallel chats for the entire stream duration.
Fix:
Tighten the predicate to also exclude in-flight state:
if(S.session
&& (S.session.message_count||0)===0
&& !S.busy
&& !S.session.active_stream_id
&& !S.session.pending_user_message){
$('msg').focus(); closeMobileSidebar(); return;
}
Same predicate applied to the Cmd/Ctrl+K handler at :844. The in-flight
signal (active_stream_id || pending_user_message) is the same one
_restoreSettledSession() in messages.js:1081 already uses to decide
whether a session is "settled" — keeping both call sites aligned.
Verified end-to-end: with S.busy=true and pending_user_message set, the
old guard returned `block=true` (= the bug), the new guard returns
`block=false` (= fixed). With a truly empty session (no busy, no pending),
both old and new guards still block — preserving #1171 behavior.
Issue #1423 — Profile name field auto-capitalizes typed values
==============================================================
Self-reported (Mac app, May 1 2026): typing `hello` into the New Profile
"Name" field shows `Hello` after blur/autofill, contradicting the
"Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores only" hint right next
to it. The form lowercases on submit so stored data is correct, but the
displayed value during typing is misleading.
Root cause:
static/panels.js:2532 had only autocomplete="off":
<input type="text" id="profileFormName"
placeholder="..." autocomplete="off" required>
Missing three attributes that actually prevent the misbehavior:
- autocapitalize="none" — mobile keyboards (iOS Safari, Android Chrome,
WKWebView in the Mac app) auto-capitalize the first letter without it
- autocorrect="off" — Safari runs autocorrect on blur, can rewrite hello→Hello
- spellcheck="false" — desktop browsers may run spellcheck on blur
Fix:
Add the three attributes to profileFormName. Also added to
profileFormBaseUrl since URLs are similarly bad targets for
autocapitalize/autocorrect. profileFormApiKey is type="password" and
already has correct browser behavior.
Verified end-to-end against the live DOM: openProfileCreate() →
getElementById('profileFormName').getAttribute(...) returns the new
attributes correctly, with required preserved.
Tests
-----
3648 passed, 2 skipped, 3 xpassed (was 3640 — added 8 new regression tests
in test_1432_newchat_and_1423_profile_input.py).
One pre-existing test had to be widened: tests/test_mobile_layout.py
test_new_conversation_closes_mobile_sidebar grabbed only the first 500
chars of the btnNewChat handler block to scan for closeMobileSidebar.
The new comment block pushed closeMobileSidebar past that window even
though both calls are still present. Bumped the window to 1500 chars
and the shortcut-block lines from 12 to 24 to match the multi-line guard.
