Ask

Expose server-derived unread state on chat-sidebar rows. The server derives unread from a last_read_at watermark and PATCH accepts unread; presentation is undecided, with a pulsing dot suggested as one option.

Files and APIs

  • Sources/HermternalCore/Net/RestClient.swift: session-list decoding and PATCH /api/sessions/{id} unread updates.
  • Sources/HermternalCore/Models/ChatModels.swift: session unread and last_read_at state.
  • Sources/Hermternal/AppModel.swift: read-state and refresh routing.
  • Sources/Hermternal/Views/SidebarView.swift: row indicator presentation.

Acceptance

  • Sidebar session data reflects the server's unread value derived from its last_read_at watermark.
  • Marking a chat read or unread uses PATCH /api/sessions/{id} with the unread field and survives refresh.
  • An unread row has a clear, accessible indicator that does not rely on color alone; the final presentation is decided as part of this work rather than assumed to be a pulsing dot.
  • Opening or otherwise reading a chat updates only that chat's state and does not change unrelated rows.
  • Failed read-state updates preserve the prior indicator and report an actionable error.
