## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate AI-agent companies > - The board UI opens issue details from lists, quicklooks, and the inbox > - Those navigation paths already have enough issue data to paint the header immediately, but the comment feed still waits for its first request > - That delay makes repeat navigation feel cold and can briefly show an empty thread before comments arrive > - This pull request centralizes the comment page shape, prefetches issue detail plus the first comment page, and renders a reserved skeleton while an uncached page is loading > - The benefit is faster, stable warm navigation without coupling this change to the separate aggregate issue-detail API work ## Linked Issues or Issue Description - **Subsystem affected:** `ui/` — React + Vite board UI - **Problem or motivation:** Opening an issue from an already-loaded list still waits for the first comments request and may flash the empty-thread state, making warm navigation feel slower than necessary. - **Proposed solution:** Prefetch the issue-detail snapshot and first comments page from every issue navigation entry point, reuse one page-size constant for prefetch and render queries, and show the existing chat skeleton until the uncached initial page resolves. - **Alternatives considered:** Relying only on detail-query prefetch leaves comments cold; bundling this with the aggregate issue-detail endpoint would make the UI improvement harder to review and land independently. - **Roadmap alignment:** `ROADMAP.md` has no overlapping issue-navigation initiative. This is a focused board responsiveness improvement. - **Related pull requests:** #10409 establishes the issue-detail performance baseline; #10414 reduces server-side issue-detail request overhead. ## What Changed - Added one shared issue-comment page-size constant used by rendering and prefetching. - Added first-page comment prefetching and a combined navigation prefetch helper. - Wired quicklook, issue-list keyboard navigation, and inbox navigation to warm both caches. - Kept the existing chat skeleton visible while the first uncached comment page loads. - Added focused cache behavior tests for comment and combined navigation prefetching. ## Verification - `vitest run ui/src/lib/prefetchIssueComments.test.ts` — 3 tests passed. - `tsc -b ui` — passed. - `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed. ## Risks - Low risk: this adds background prefetch requests on intentional issue navigation/hover paths. React Query stale-time deduplication prevents repeat requests while the cache is fresh. - The change intentionally remains independent of the separate aggregate `getView` work and composes with it through the same query keys. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`. ## Model Used - OpenAI Codex coding agent, exact model `gpt-5.6-sol`; context-window size was not exposed; reasoning mode with repository tool use and code execution. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing> |
