- [Phase 21-chat-foundation]: messages array in useChatMessages flattened from pages and reversed so display is chronological (API returns desc by createdAt)
- [Phase 21-chat-foundation]: Custom window event (nexus:focus-chat-search) used instead of forwardRef drilling to focus search input from Cmd+K
- [Phase 21-chat-foundation]: Cmd+K handler placed before input-guard early return in useKeyboardShortcuts so it fires globally even from input/textarea
- [Phase 22-agent-streaming]: THEME-03: 11 agent roles each have unique Tailwind color — pm=blue, engineer=violet, ceo=amber, general=slate, designer=pink, qa=orange, researcher=teal, devops=emerald, cto=indigo, cmo=rose, cfo=cyan
- [Phase 22-agent-streaming]: updatedAt on chat_messages is nullable (no .notNull()) — existing rows will have null until updated, prevents data migration requirement
- [Phase 22-02]: 11 distinct role colors for AgentRole with light/dark Tailwind variants (no duplicates)
- [Phase 22-02]: ChatAgentSelector uses Popover+Command shadcn pattern; integration tests deferred as it.todo()
- [Phase 22-02]: ChatMessage wrapped in group div to enable hover-reveal edit/retry actions in Plan 03
- [Phase 22-agent-streaming]: Use fetch ReadableStream instead of EventSource for POST SSE streaming endpoint
- [Phase 22-agent-streaming]: streamEcho stub yields word-by-word with 50ms delay; Phase 23 replaces with real LLM adapter
- [Phase 22-agent-streaming]: Partial content on stop saved with [stopped] suffix via chatApi.savePartialMessage

# Phase 22 Plan 01: SSE Streaming Endpoint and useStreamingChat Hook Summary
One-liner: SSE streaming endpoint with stub echo generator, AbortController stop, partial-content persistence, and fetch ReadableStream client hook.
## Tasks Completed
| Task | Name | Commit | Key Files |
|------|------|--------|-----------|
| 1 | Server SSE streaming endpoint + edit/truncate service methods | 2d711c7e | server/src/services/chat.ts, server/src/routes/chat.ts |
| 2 | useStreamingChat hook, chat API stream method, real unit tests | 78742239 | ui/src/hooks/useStreamingChat.ts, ui/src/hooks/useStreamingChat.test.ts, ui/src/api/chat.ts |
## What Was Built
### Server (Task 1)
**`server/src/services/chat.ts`** — Three new methods added to `chatService`:
- `editMessage(messageId, content)` — Updates message content in DB (adapted: no updatedAt column in chatMessages schema)
- `truncateMessagesAfter(conversationId, messageId)` — Deletes all messages after a given createdAt timestamp; imports `gt` from drizzle-orm
- `streamEcho(content, signal)` — Async generator stub yielding words with 50ms delay, respects AbortSignal
**`server/src/routes/chat.ts`** — Three new routes:
- `POST /conversations/:id/stream` — SSE endpoint; headers flushed (PERF-02) before for-await loop; saves full content as assistant message on completion; handles req.on("close") abort
- `PATCH /conversations/:id/messages/:msgId` — Edit message content
- `DELETE /conversations/:id/messages/after/:msgId` — Truncate subsequent messages
### Client (Task 2)
**`ui/src/api/chat.ts`** — Two new methods:
- `postMessageAndStream` — Opens POST fetch with ReadableStream, parses SSE data lines, dispatches onToken/onDone/onError callbacks
- `savePartialMessage` — Delegates to `postMessage` to persist partial content on stop
**`ui/src/hooks/useStreamingChat.ts`** — New hook:
- `startStream(userMessage, agentId?)` — Creates AbortController, calls postMessageAndStream, wraps setStreamingContent in startTransition
- `stop()` — Aborts controller, saves partial content with " [stopped]" suffix, invalidates queries
- Returns: `{ streamingContent, isStreaming, startStream, stop }`
**`ui/src/hooks/useStreamingChat.test.ts`** — 5 passing unit tests:
1. Token accumulation into streamingContent
2. isStreaming lifecycle (true on start, false on done)
3. stop() aborts controller and sets isStreaming=false
4. SSE error sets isStreaming=false
5. null conversationId guard
## Verification Results
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec -- tsc --noEmit` — PASS (0 errors)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec -- tsc --noEmit` (chat files) — PASS (0 chat errors; pre-existing plugin-sdk errors in unrelated files)
- vitest: 5/5 tests passing, 0 todos
- PERF-02: flushHeaders() position (pre-loop) verified via Python script
## Deviations from Plan
### Auto-fixed Issues
**1. [Rule 2 - Missing Dependency] @testing-library/react not installed**
- **Found during:** Task 2 test execution
- **Issue:** Plan stated `renderHook` from `@testing-library/react` was "already installed" but the package was not present in ui/package.json or the pnpm lockfile
- **Fix:** Added `"@testing-library/react": "^16.0.0"` to ui/package.json devDependencies and ran `pnpm install --filter @paperclipai/ui`
- **Files modified:** ui/package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml
- **Commit:** 78742239
**2. [Rule 1 - Bug] chatMessages schema has no updatedAt column**
- **Found during:** Task 1 — implementing editMessage
- **Issue:** Plan's `editMessage` code included `.set({ content, updatedAt: new Date() })` but the `chatMessages` schema only has `id`, `conversationId`, `role`, `content`, `agentId`, `createdAt` — no `updatedAt`
- **Fix:** Removed `updatedAt: new Date()` from the update set; only `content` is updated
- **Files modified:** server/src/services/chat.ts
- **Commit:** 2d711c7e
**3. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Worktree branch was behind phase 22 foundation**
- **Found during:** Initial setup
- **Issue:** The worktree branch `worktree-agent-a8157dfc` was on nexus/main commits that diverged from phase 22; chat files did not exist
- **Fix:** Reset worktree branch to `gsd/phase-22-agent-streaming` with `git reset --hard`
- **Impact:** Nexus-specific commits (phase 01-04 branding/onboarding work) are not present on this worktree; those exist on nexus/main branch and are not related to phase 22
## Known Stubs
- `streamEcho` in `server/src/services/chat.ts` is a stub that echoes back the user message word-by-word with 50ms delay. This is intentional for Phase 22 (no LLM). Phase 23 will replace this with real LLM adapter calls.
## Self-Check: PASSED
