Summary

  • Collect workspace nodes and published artifacts at their write sites in a turn-scoped, deduplicating output collector.
  • Journal structured output references on agent replies and rehydrate them on both live and history paths.
  • Render reply-level file buttons after settled turn steps in channel and thread views, with no preview.
  • Drop output references whose targets no longer exist.

Closes #2294

API Or Behavior Changes

Agent reply payloads may now include an optional outputs array. Each entry identifies a workspace node or artifact and contains the routing fields needed by the console. Chat replies render these as clickable hash-route buttons; replies without outputs are unchanged.

Tests

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo build --all-targets
  • cargo test
  • cargo clippy --no-deps --features openhuman --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo test --features openhuman --tests
  • scripts/ci/assert-integration-targets-run.sh openhuman
  • frontend npm ci
  • frontend npm run typecheck
  • frontend npm run typecheck:unit
  • frontend npm test — 5,373 passed, 3 skipped
  • frontend npm run build
  • Running desktop app: asked an agent to create a workspace note; confirmed the output button appears after the steps, opens the exact note, survives reload, and is absent for a no-output reply.

Documentation

No documentation changes were needed; this is an additive chat affordance covered by API, frontend, reload, deletion, and desktop verification tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Chat replies now show links to workspace items and generated artifacts.
    • Multiple outputs can be expanded from a compact list.
    • Output links remain available after refreshing or switching between conversations.
    • Links to deleted workspace items or unavailable artifact versions are automatically omitted.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Generated workspace and artifact outputs are now correctly preserved through chat history and reply delivery.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change carries structured workspace-node and artifact outputs from agent turns through runtime events, history projections, and frontend messages. It collects outputs per turn, removes stale targets, and renders clickable links in chat replies and thread panels.

Add a surviving output to the deletion-rehydration test.

drop_dead_outputs filters each output independently, but this test deletes every target and only checks that outputs is absent. Add a live workspace output, then assert that it remains after reload while the deleted outputs are removed. This detects regressions that discard the entire outputs array when one target is missing.

When a workspace node is deleted mid-turn, its entry now gets removed from the active turn's output collector so stale references don't linger in the final response. The ChatOutput deserializer was also tightened to reject metadata that doesn't match the output kind, preventing malformed payloads from being accepted.

Extend the operator rehydration test to include a workspace node alongside the existing artifact, verifying that both live targets are rehydrated while deleted targets remain excluded. The test now asserts three outputs in the first reply and confirms only the surviving node is rehydrated in the second reply.

P2 Badge Expose reply outputs through GraphQL history

When a client reloads chat through GraphQL Desk.history, this value is discarded: MessageGql defines no outputs field and From<MessageView> never maps view.outputs, even though the resolver uses this shared projection specifically to preserve REST/GraphQL transcript parity. As a result, GraphQL consumers cannot restore any workspace or artifact links that the REST history route returns; add a GraphQL output type and map this field.

P2 Badge Refresh collected labels after workspace renames

When an agent creates or writes a node and then successfully calls workspace_rename or moves it before replying, the collector retains the original path as title because the rename success path never updates the bucket. The ID-based link still opens, but both the live response and every later history reload permanently label it with a path that no longer exists; update the collected entry on successful rename, including affected descendant paths when a folder moves.
