Problem

With the Dashboard removed (#234), / renders NewSessionLanding. That component returns null unconditionally — its only job is the side effect of redirecting or creating a draft. When projects.list() is empty it returns early, so nothing is created and nothing is drawn: the app paints a titlebar over a void, with no error and a clean console.

The titlebar + (openNewTab) bails on the same precondition, so the one escape hatch is also a silent no-op. Net effect: an unrecoverable blank app.

projects.list() is the client-side store of opened projects. It is empty on a fresh profile, and for any server running outside a registered project — the amicode chat server spawns in an internal scaffold dir that is registered in neither project nor project_directory.

Fix

Add resolveLandingDirectory(projects, serverDirectory): prefer the first opened project, else fall back to a server-known worktree (sync.data.project). Used by both NewSessionLanding and openNewTab.

Verification

Served from an unregistered scaffold dir, driven with Playwright:

before after
DOM nodes under #root 25 121
textContent 4 ("BETA") 112
+ click URL unchanged new draft created

Unit tests written first and watched fail. typecheck clean. Full app suite shows the same 2 pre-existing failures with and without this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved new-session setup when no project is currently open.
    • New sessions now select an available project directory or fall back to the synchronized server directory.
    • Opening a new tab now uses the same reliable directory selection behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for project selection, server-directory fallback, and unavailable-directory scenarios.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared landing-directory resolution. New-session flows select the first project worktree, fall back to the synchronized server directory, and wait only when no usable directory exists.

Changes

Landing directory flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Landing directory resolver and tests
packages/app/src/pages/new-session-landing.ts, packages/app/src/pages/new-session-landing.test.ts
resolveLandingDirectory selects the first project worktree, then the server directory, or returns undefined. Tests cover all three cases.
New-session integration
packages/app/src/app.tsx, packages/app/src/components/titlebar.tsx
The landing route and title bar use resolved directories from opened projects or synchronized server data when creating drafts.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d2c53

When multiple servers are connected, the new-session fallback may create a draft on a different server and directory than the one selected by the user. Merge should wait for the selected-server behavior to be corrected and covered by a regression test.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the selected server in the home fallback.

The home branch already resolves the selected server at Line 300. If that server has no registered project but has a synchronized fallback directory, execution reaches Lines 321-325 and scans connections from the first entry instead.

With multiple connections, the + button can therefore create the draft on a different server and directory. Try the selected conn first, then scan other connections only if it has no usable directory. Add a two-server regression test.
