Summary

Implements LC-237 (per-conversation draft persistence with sidebar draft indicators) on top of the existing LC-64 server-side draft store, rather than adding the parallel client-side store the issue text originally proposed. LC-64 already persists drafts per (user, room) for both rooms and DMs, restores them on open, and clears them on send/schedule/kick/account-delete, so reusing it keeps a single source of truth and makes the indicator cross-device. This covers subtasks LC-238 (persist + caret restore) and LC-239 (sidebar indicator); LC-240 is the QA pass.

Sidebar draft indicator (LC-239)

A pencil indicator appears next to any room/DM that holds a fresh unsent draft.

  • db::drafts::room_ids_with_drafts returns the set of rooms with a non-empty, non-stale draft (60-day freshness mirrors the render-side get_fresh_or_purge purge). load_sidebar sets has_draft on each SidebarRoom/SidebarPeer.
  • partials/draft_badge.html renders an id-keyed span #lc-draft-{room_id} (room id for rooms, dm_room_id for DMs) carrying the pencil when a draft exists and an empty span otherwise, so a later OOB swap always has a target.
  • Live updates ride a new ChatEvent::DraftChanged { user_id, room_id, has_draft } via broadcast_to_user from the three draft commit points (debounced draft PUT upsert / empty-body delete, clear-on-send in finalize_message_send, clear-on-schedule). Rendered per recipient through ws/draft_badge.html, gated to the owner. Clears are gated on rows_affected so an ordinary no-draft send does not fan a redundant OOB to every tab.

Caret-position restore (LC-238)

The draft body is already restored server-side (initial_draft). This adds the one piece the server cannot cheaply persist: the caret/selection offset.

  • Stored in localStorage keyed by conversation id, so it survives reloads and PWA restarts. Device-local by design: the text is the cross-device state, the caret is an ephemeral per-device convenience.
  • Restored on composer mount past autofocus via requestAnimationFrame, clamped to the live text length (the cross-device body may have changed). Dropped when a successful send clears the textarea.

Not in scope / deviations

  • The issue's "stored client-side, no schema changes" framing predates LC-64; no parallel client-side draft store is added. Confirmed with the issue owner before implementing.
  • No operator-visible surface (no env var / config / API change), so no [operator-action] marker.

Tests

  • room_ids_with_drafts_returns_only_fresh_nonempty_rows (fresh/stale/cross-user set semantics, no purge-on-read).
  • sidebar_shows_draft_pencil_for_room_with_draft / sidebar_omits_draft_pencil_when_no_draft.
  • just test and just test-saas both green; clippy + fmt clean.

## Summary Implements LC-237 (per-conversation draft persistence with sidebar draft indicators) on top of the existing LC-64 server-side draft store, rather than adding the parallel client-side store the issue text originally proposed. LC-64 already persists drafts per (user, room) for both rooms and DMs, restores them on open, and clears them on send/schedule/kick/account-delete, so reusing it keeps a single source of truth and makes the indicator cross-device. This covers subtasks LC-238 (persist + caret restore) and LC-239 (sidebar indicator); LC-240 is the QA pass. ## Sidebar draft indicator (LC-239) A pencil indicator appears next to any room/DM that holds a fresh unsent draft. - `db::drafts::room_ids_with_drafts` returns the set of rooms with a non-empty, non-stale draft (60-day freshness mirrors the render-side `get_fresh_or_purge` purge). `load_sidebar` sets `has_draft` on each `SidebarRoom`/`SidebarPeer`. - `partials/draft_badge.html` renders an id-keyed span `#lc-draft-{room_id}` (room id for rooms, dm_room_id for DMs) carrying the pencil when a draft exists and an empty span otherwise, so a later OOB swap always has a target. - Live updates ride a new `ChatEvent::DraftChanged { user_id, room_id, has_draft }` via `broadcast_to_user` from the three draft commit points (debounced draft PUT upsert / empty-body delete, clear-on-send in `finalize_message_send`, clear-on-schedule). Rendered per recipient through `ws/draft_badge.html`, gated to the owner. Clears are gated on `rows_affected` so an ordinary no-draft send does not fan a redundant OOB to every tab. ## Caret-position restore (LC-238) The draft body is already restored server-side (`initial_draft`).

Surface a pencil indicator in the sidebar next to any room/DM that holds an unsent draft, and restore the composer caret position when reopening a conversation. Builds on the existing LC-64 server-side draft store (message_drafts) rather than adding a parallel client-side one, so there is a single source of truth and the indicator is cross-device.

Sidebar indicator (LC-239): load_sidebar reads the set of rooms with a fresh draft (db::drafts::room_ids_with_drafts, 60-day freshness mirroring the render-side purge) and sets has_draft on each SidebarRoom/SidebarPeer. A shared partials/draft_badge.html renders an id-keyed span (#lc-draft-{room_id}) carrying the pencil when a draft exists, empty otherwise so a later OOB swap always has a target. Live updates ride a new ChatEvent::DraftChanged broadcast_to_user from the three commit points (debounced draft PUT upsert/empty-delete, clear-on-send in finalize_message_send, clear-on-schedule), rendered per recipient via ws/draft_badge.html and gated to the owner; clears are gated on rows_affected so a no-draft send does not fan a redundant OOB.

Caret restore (LC-238): the draft body is already restored server-side via initial_draft; this adds the one piece the server cannot cheaply persist, the caret/selection offset, keyed by conversation id in localStorage so it survives reloads and PWA restarts. Device-local by design (text is the cross-device state, caret is an ephemeral per-device convenience). Restored on mount past autofocus via rAF and clamped to the live text length; dropped when a successful send clears the box.

Tests: room_ids_with_drafts set semantics (fresh/stale/cross-user, no purge-on-read), and sidebar render with and without the pencil. just test + just test-saas green.
