Summary

Brings the existing References feature (built for markdown docs) to agent sessions so a session shows where it is referenced, with the same look and behavior as the doc side panel.

  • Agent session side panel (AgentSidePanelSections.tsx): adds a References (N) section that reuses the shared References component with entityType="agent_session". Same rows as docs: channel messages that @-mentioned or shared the session (sender, channel chip, time, two-line excerpt) and documents that mention it (author, document chip). Rows open the message/doc in a split. Hidden until at least one reference exists; the query read is status-gated so a pending query never suspends the block.
  • Doc → session references (mentionHandlers.ts, MarkdownEditor.tsx, dragInsertUtils.ts, mentionsPlugin.ts): agent-session chips inserted into a document (via the @ menu or drag-and-drop) were the only entity mention that skipped trackMention, so a doc mentioning a session never produced a reference. They are now recorded as agent_session entity mentions, the mention uuid is carried on the AgentSessionMentionNode, and the mention is untracked when the chip is removed. Channel and chat composers still do not track (unchanged).
  • Docs: docs/AGENT_GUIDE/ai-chat.md describes the new section.

No backend changes: GET /channels/attachments/{entity_type}/{entity_id}/references and comms_entity_mentions/comms_attachments were already entity-type generic, and channel messages already recorded agent_session mentions.

Testing

  • Unit: agent-session-selection.test.ts (tracks in a doc editor with blockId, passes mentionUuid; does not track in channel/chat hosts) and mentionCallbacks.test.ts (removing a session chip calls untrackMention). 9/9 pass.
  • bun run check (tsc + biome) and just check pass.
  • Browser (local stack): created a session, @-mentioned it from a channel message and from a doc; the session's side panel shows References (2) with both rows, and clicking each opens the channel message / document in a split. Both rows are present in comms_entity_mentions.

Agent sessions were already recorded as channel attachment/mention
references by the backend, but the agent block never rendered them.
Reuse the shared References component (same rows, ordering, and
navigation as markdown docs) behind a count-titled section that stays
hidden until a reference exists.

Agent session chips inserted into a document via the @ menu or drag and
drop were the only entity mention that skipped trackMention, so a doc
mentioning a session never appeared in that session's References.
Record them as agent_session entity mentions, carry the mention uuid on
the node, and untrack when the chip is removed, matching document,
channel, and user mentions. Channel and chat composers still do not
track.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a References section to agent session details, showing documents and channel messages that reference the session.
    • References appear only when available and can be opened directly in a split view.
    • Agent-session mentions now remain linked when inserted through selection or drag-and-drop.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved mention tracking when agent-session mentions are created or removed.
  • Documentation

    • Updated sharing guidance to describe the expanded session details sections and References behavior.

Walkthrough

Agent-session mentions now receive tracking IDs in eligible document contexts and preserve those IDs through selection and drag insertion. Removing an agent-session mention untracks it before removal notification. The agent side panel conditionally renders a References section when references exist. Tests cover tracking, exclusion, and cleanup behavior. The guide documents the References section.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 91d3d

Deleting an agent-session mention with the keyboard can issue duplicate cleanup requests and produce avoidable cleanup failures. Consolidate cleanup before merging.

🟡 Minor · Avoid duplicate untracking during keyboard deletion. · mentionsPlugin.ts:297-302

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid duplicate untracking during keyboard deletion.

When mention tracking is enabled and a permission token is available, $deleteSelectedMentions calls untrackMention before node.remove(). The removal then triggers the AgentSessionMentionNode destruction listener, which calls untrackMention again with the same source document and UUID. Each call invokes storageServiceClient.deleteEntityMention, and no path gates or deduplicates the second call.

Remove the direct untrackMention call from $deleteSelectedMentions and keep cleanup in the mutation listener.
