Sidebar System Status Implementation Plan

Goal

De-clutter the main chat by moving "System Status" messages (e.g., "Project Switched", "Current Root") to the Sidebar.

User Review Required

Important

Experience Change: "Project Switched" messages will no longer appear in the chat history. They will update the "Project Info" section in the Sidebar.

Proposed Changes

1. New State in App

• File: bin/opencode-ink.mjs
• State: const [systemStatus, setSystemStatus] = useState(null);
• Structure: { message: string, type: 'success' | 'info', timestamp: number }

2. Modify Sidebar Component

• File: bin/opencode-ink.mjs
• Addition: A new "Project Info" box below the title.
• Render: Display project path (truncated) and last status message.

3. Redirect Messages

• Analysis: Find where "Project Switched" is logged (likely useEffect on startup or selectProject handler).
• Change: Replace setMessages(...) with setSystemStatus(...).

Verification Plan

1. Startup Test:
   • Launch TUI.
   • Verify "System is now rooted..." appears in Sidebar, NOT in chat.
2. Switch Test:
   • Select a new project.
   • Verify status updates in Sidebar.
