⚡ Quick Comparison: Native DSH vs. This Plugin

Capability / Pain Point	Official Native DSH	Other Community Plugins	dsh-branch-workspace-folders
Forked Session Hierarchy	❌ Flat list only, scattered by recency	⚠️ Pop out standalone SVG panel	✅ Native in-place collapsible tree with L-shaped guide rails
New Fork Positioning	⚠️ Appended at arbitrary list ends	❌ Unchanged	✅ placeFork auto-clusters adjacent above parent session
Folded Status Bubbling	❌ None (blindspot for running tasks)	❌ None	✅ 4-state priority FSM (approval warnings bubble to root)
Physical Disk Deletion	❌ Soft archive only (.zstd logs persist)	⚠️ Standalone trash button / no cascade	✅ True cascading physical purge with rollback safety
Indentation Reliability	❌ Negative indentation in directory trees	❌ Overrides directory spacing	✅ Two-track decoupled variables (--dsh-branch & --dsh-ws)
Engine Recursion Safety	❌ N/A	⚠️ Direct recursion (risk of stack overflow)	✅ Heap-allocated explicit stacks (tested against 20,000 depth)
DSH v0.2.0-rc.2 Alignment	⚠️ Shipped in native	❌ Legacy 0.1.x baselines	✅ 100% aligned (two-tier slots, 0.03px/ms marquee, FLIP keys)

🌟 Key Features & Problems Solved

1. Universal Fork Tree & Visual Hierarchy

• Universal Grouping Coverage: In workspace (grouped), workspace-tree (physical directory tree), or flat (single list) mode, all forked sessions cluster under their designated root session based on durable lineage.
• Two-Track Indentation Decoupling: Independently allocates --dsh-branch-indent: calc(depth * 16px) and --dsh-workspace-indent, completely resolving negative indentation and layout displacement under nested directory tree modes.
• Official Slot Ecosystem Integration (Leading & Hover Slots): Fully supports DSH v0.2.0-rc.2 two-tier session row contracts:
  • Leading 16px Cell Arbitration: Prioritizes warning/running state dots; when idle, unarchived, and non-blank, delegates to sidebar.session.row.leading for native automation indicator anchors (e.g. dsh-schedule task clock icon);
  • Hover Card Injection: Mounts sidebar.session.row.hover in SessionHoverContent for external task inspection.
• Smooth Title Marquee (useTitleMarquee): Replicates official 0.03px/ms constant-speed crawling with 12px double-edge linear gradient fade masks ([data-scrolled] & [data-clipped]), dynamic ellipsis cut-off (text-overflow: clip), and full prefers-reduced-motion compliance.
• AnimatedRows Layout Contract: Injects semantic data-row-key attributes across sessions and workspaces to seamlessly integrate with official FLIP layout animations.
• Typography Hierarchy:
  • Root / Parent Sessions: Highlighted with font-weight: 500 (Medium) and primary text color;
  • Branch Child Sessions: Subdued to secondary text color (var(--dsw-alias-label-secondary)), brightening dynamically on hover/selection;
  • L-shaped Guide Rails: Native IconTreeCornerRegular coupled with zero-DOM CSS background multi-level guide rails (.deepBranch for depth >= 2).

2. Sorting Engine & View Controls

• placeFork Native Clustering: Re-orders forked sessions immediately adjacent to and above their parent session rather than dumping them at arbitrary list ends.
• Strict View Order By: Strictly limits ordering to officially supported modes: manual (drag-and-drop reordering) and updated (recency sort).
• Tri-State Archive Filtering: Supports all (show all), hide-archived (default), and only-archived (inspect archive history directly in the sidebar).
• Collapsed Ancestor Pathfinding (isCurrentCollapsedAncestor): When the active session is hidden beneath a folded branch, ancestor chevrons and badges highlight in business primary color (var(--dsw-alias-state-business-primary)).
• Panel Activation Dimming (usePanelInfo): Suppresses session selection backgrounds when full-screen settings or file panels are active to prevent dual-focus visual conflict.

3. Collapsed Status Bubbling

• Blindspot Self-Healing: When a session family with active runs is collapsed, descendant statuses bubble up to the visible root node.
• Strict Priority State Machine:
  1. Warning (Highest): Bubble amber dot and replace trailing timestamp with explicit action label (e.g., "Waiting Approval", "Plan Review", "Waiting Answer");
  2. Ongoing (Secondary): Displays spinning loading indicator when descendant or subagents are running;
  3. Done (Silent reminder): Green dot when child work completes;
  4. Idle: Clean state when all family members are idle.

4. Physical Cascade Purge Transaction Engine

• True Physical Deletion: Complements official soft-archiving by providing genuine on-disk cascading physical deletion of .jsonl.zstd logs and workspace registry cleanup.
• .trash-sessions Isolation & Rollback: Quarantine directory isolation -> atomic workspace state mutation (cleaning sessionOrder, archivedSessionIds, pinnedSessionIds) -> permanent commit. Automatically rolls back in reverse order upon filesystem errors.
• Complete Host REST API:
  • GET /branch-workspace/api/health: Service health probe;
  • GET /branch-workspace/api/archives: Tree-structured archived session catalog;
  • POST /branch-workspace/api/purge: Single root family physical cascade purge;
  • POST /branch-workspace/api/purge-batch: Batch root family physical cascade purge;
  • POST /branch-workspace/api/restore: Single session activation;
  • POST /branch-workspace/api/restore-batch: Batch session unarchival;
  • POST /branch-workspace/api/restore-branch: Full branch topological restoration.

5. Engine Reliability & Security

• Heap-Allocated Explicit Stack Algorithms: buildSessionTree, flattenSessionTree, findSessionAncestors, aggregateDescendantStatus, sortTreeByUpdatedAt all execute via heap-allocated stacks, proven safe against 20,000-level recursion depth.
• In-Place Shadowing & ErrorBoundary: In-place replacement of sidebar.workspaces wrapped in a React ErrorBoundary. Crashes fall back to official vanilla renderers without white-screening the app.
• Native V4 Zstandard Compatibility: Automatically prioritizes and parses session.v4.jsonl.zstd, tolerating torn-tail frames.
• Security & Network Isolation: Loopback authority verification (isLoopbackHost), DNS rebinding defense, and browser Sec-Fetch CSRF prevention.

🛡 Invariants & Guardrails

When contributing to this repository, the following core invariants must never be violated:

1. WorkspacePickFlow Must Never Be Conditionally Rendered: In WorkspaceBrowser.tsx, <WorkspacePickFlow> must reside permanently in the DOM tree, governed solely by open={wsPickerOpen}. Unmounting on wsPickerOpen === false breaks picker callbacks and disables workspace creation.
2. Dual-Track Collapse State Synchronization: Store initial state might be an empty object {} (truthy in JS, short-circuiting nullish coalescing). Branch collapse state must be merged between local storage (dsh.branch.collapsed.v1) and local state via useMemo.
3. Slot-Rendered Row Actions: Never hardcode action menus in Rows.tsx. Always use renderSlot('sidebar.workspaces.session.menu.item') and renderSlot('sidebar.workspaces.session.row.action') to preserve third-party extensibility and official pin actions.
4. Subagent Session Isolation: Always filter origin === 'subagent' transient child sessions from the sidebar tree to prevent clutter.
