added patterns
Agent identity bar pattern: icon + semibold name + muted timestamp above assistant messages
Role-specific color map: Record<AgentRole, string> with light/dark Tailwind variants
Streaming cursor: inline-block span with animate-cursor-blink, aria-hidden for a11y
ChatMessage group wrapper: enables hover-reveal for edit/retry buttons in Plan 03
ChatAgentSelector uses Popover+Command pattern from shadcn for agent selection

Co-created agent-role-colors.ts as prerequisite (22-00 not yet executed by another agent)
11 distinct role colors chosen: pm=blue, engineer=violet, ceo=amber, general=slate, designer=pink, qa=orange, researcher=teal, devops=emerald, cto=indigo, cmo=rose, cfo=cyan
ChatAgentSelector uses full integration tests as it.todo() since QueryClientProvider mocking is deferred
chat.ts API updateConversation extended with agentId field ahead of 22-01 server PR merge
Created ChatCodeBlock and ChatMarkdownMessage as prerequisites from phase-21 base (not in this worktree)
Agent identity bar always above assistant message content, never for user messages
ChatStreamingCursor appended after ChatMarkdownMessage during isStreaming=true
agentName prop controls identity bar rendering — null/undefined suppresses the bar

Phase 22 Plan 02: Agent Identity Components Summary

Agent identity bar with role-specific colors (THEME-03), agent selector dropdown (CHAT-08), and streaming cursor for visible agent identity on every assistant message (AGENT-04)

Performance

  • Duration: ~11 minutes
  • Started: 2026-04-01T18:06:52Z
  • Completed: 2026-04-01T18:17:48Z
  • Tasks: 2/2
  • Files created: 8 new files
  • Files modified: 2 existing files

Accomplishments

Task 1: ChatMessageIdentityBar, ChatStreamingCursor, and extended ChatMessage

Created the three core identity components:

  • ChatMessageIdentityBar (h-4 w-4 icon, text-[13px] font-semibold name, text-[11px] timestamp, animate-pulse streaming dot)
  • ChatStreamingCursor (inline-block w-2 h-[1em] bg-foreground/70 animate-cursor-blink, aria-hidden="true")
  • ChatMessage extended with agentName, agentIcon, agentRole, timestamp, isStreaming props; wrapped in group div for future hover actions

Created agent-role-colors.ts with 11 distinct roles (all with dark: variants, zero duplicate colors):

Role Light Dark
pm text-blue-600 text-blue-400
engineer text-violet-600 text-violet-400
ceo text-amber-600 text-amber-400
general text-slate-600 text-slate-400
designer text-pink-600 text-pink-400
qa text-orange-600 text-orange-400
researcher text-teal-600 text-teal-400
devops text-emerald-600 text-emerald-400
cto text-indigo-600 text-indigo-400
cmo text-rose-600 text-rose-400
cfo text-cyan-600 text-cyan-400

All 4 ChatMessageIdentityBar tests pass.

Task 2: ChatAgentSelector component

Created ChatAgentSelector using Popover + Command shadcn components:

  • Trigger shows active agent icon + name (max-w-[120px], truncated) + ChevronDown
  • "Select agent" in text-muted-foreground when no agent selected
  • Popover (200px wide) lists agents with icon, name, and role label
  • "No agents configured" empty state via CommandEmpty
  • Selection calls onAgentChange and PATCHes conversation via chatApi.updateConversation
  • Role-specific colors from agentRoleColors applied to all agent icons
  • Loading state shows Skeleton placeholder
  • aria-label="Active agent" on trigger for accessibility

TypeScript compiles clean (tsc --noEmit passes).

Deviations from Plan

Auto-created prerequisites (Rule 2 - Missing critical functionality)

1. [Rule 2 - Prerequisite] Created agent-role-colors.ts inline

  • Found during: Task 1 setup
  • Issue: Plan 22-00 (which creates agent-role-colors.ts) had not been executed yet; 22-02 depends on it
  • Fix: Created agent-role-colors.ts directly in this worktree with all 11 distinct colors
  • Files modified: ui/src/lib/agent-role-colors.ts
  • Commit: 91aa9d65

2. [Rule 2 - Prerequisite] Created ChatMarkdownMessage and ChatCodeBlock

  • Found during: Task 1 setup
  • Issue: Phase-21 ChatMarkdownMessage and ChatCodeBlock not present in this worktree (branched before phase-21)
  • Fix: Created both files from phase-22 branch content
  • Files modified: ui/src/components/ChatMarkdownMessage.tsx, ui/src/components/ChatCodeBlock.tsx
  • Commit: 91aa9d65

3. [Rule 2 - Prerequisite] Created shared types/chat.ts and chatApi

  • Found during: Task 2
  • Issue: Phase-21 shared chat types and chat API client not present in this worktree
  • Fix: Created packages/shared/src/types/chat.ts and ui/src/api/chat.ts with types needed for ChatAgentSelector
  • Note: Added agentId to updateConversation type signature (expected from 22-01 server work)
  • Files modified: packages/shared/src/types/chat.ts, ui/src/api/chat.ts, packages/shared/src/index.ts
  • Commit: 471efdfd

4. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Created node_modules symlinks for test execution

  • Found during: Task 1 verification
  • Issue: Worktree has no node_modules (pnpm workspace links only in main repo); vitest failed to resolve React
  • Fix: Created symlinks: ui/node_modules -> /opt/nexus/ui/node_modules package symlinks; node_modules/.pnpm -> /opt/nexus/node_modules/.pnpm
  • Not committed (runtime infrastructure, not code)

Known Stubs

  • ChatAgentSelector.test.tsx has 5 it.todo() entries for full integration tests (rendering with QueryClientProvider mock). These are intentional — the export test confirms the component loads correctly. Full tests deferred to post-integration phase.
  • animate-cursor-blink CSS animation assumed to exist in ui/src/index.css (created by plan 22-00 which runs in parallel). If not present, the cursor will display statically but without the blink animation.

Self-Check: PASSED

All 7 created files confirmed to exist. Commits 91aa9d65 (Task 1) and 471efdfd (Task 2) both verified in git log.
