Review fixes for "place new, child and web tabs into groups".
- Spawned tabs follow their parent only with the new synced setting
spawnedTabsFollowParent (App Settings > Appearance > Tabs, off by default).
TabLayoutService.sessionCreated() reads it fresh through a
childrenFollowParent dep: off, a spawned session lands after its parent and
is marked manual in the same write; on, it follows until moved by hand. The
row menu shows the placement note and "Follow parent again" only when on.
"New session" in a group menu is unaffected. zh-CN label and a
Settings-Reference row.
- applyLegacySessionRank marks a child manual only when the requested order
splits it from its parent's block. A PUT of the current order, or one that
moves a family together, leaves every stored placement alone.
- The browser never echoes a create or delete through PUT /api/session-order,
with or without groups: the layout service already re-projects the order and
broadcasts it, and syncSessionOrder adopts it.
- The placement note in the row menu is plain text described by the menu, not
a focusable menu item.
- A tab that first appears inside a collapsed group briefly marks that group's
header.
- i18n skips .tab-name, so tab names are never translated.
- Tests: legacy-order cases for an unchanged order, a family reorder and a
split; service cases for the setting and for order PUTs; the scheduled
registration test now exercises register/undo; the grouped-create test binds
port 0; one route case runs through the real layout service.
New sessions, spawned child sessions and saved web tabs now land in tab
groups instead of always starting in Ungrouped.
New session in a group:
- The group menu gains "New session" (first item). It expands a collapsed
group and runs ONE launch with the current case and run mode; a launch
already in flight is reported, not queued.
- run({ count, tabGroupId }) threads the group through every launch path
(local POST /api/sessions, remote/docker and external-CLI
/api/quick-start). The count overrides the steppers for that launch only.
- Server: POST /api/sessions and /api/quick-start accept an optional
tabGroupId (Zod, 1-100 chars; null/empty is a 400). The routes pass it to
addSession(), and TabLayoutService.sessionCreated() places the session at
the end of that group in the SAME versioned write that first records it.
The session is added to the live map inside the owner lock (with a
rollback when the write fails), so no queued layout edit can commit it
first. The group is looked up in the creating owner's own layout, so an
unknown, deleted or foreign id is ignored instead of failing the spawn. An
explicit group is a hand placement: a child placed this way is manual.
- The create response carries the committed tabLayout (only when tabGroupId
was sent), adopted before the new tab is drawn. Responses without the
field are unchanged.
Child sessions (parentSessionId / X-Codeman-Parent-Session):
- A child nobody placed follows its parent: the server's existing
normalization already puts it after the parent's rows; the browser now
draws a not-yet-stored child there too (project({ parents })) and, while
groups exist, adopts the server's order instead of echoing its own append
back through PUT /api/session-order (which pinned every child manual).
- The row menu says where a child sits (follows, placed by hand, parent
closed, parent loop) and offers "Follow parent again" only to a hand-placed
child. A child whose parent is gone stands on its own and is never
re-adopted.
Saved web tabs:
- Web tabs are layout refs like sessions; openness stays per device. A
grouped web tab shows (and takes an Alt+N slot) only while open here and
reopens where the layout keeps it. Pinned by tests; no behaviour change.
Unchanged: the flat rail and header strip (markup, HTML5 drag, append and
save on create), the tree semantics and single tab stop, sessionOrder and
Alt+N, and every request that does not send tabGroupId.
