Extend Git Action failure Visibility

[laxman-patel]

What Changed

Updated the Git action error toast so it now auto-dismisses after 10 seconds of visible time, matching the existing success toast behavior.

Why

Git action failures were reusing a persistent progress toast created with timeout: 0, but unlike the success path, the error path never opted back into auto-dismiss behavior. That made failed action toasts stay on screen indefinitely, which was inconsistent with successful action toasts and looked like an accidental sticky state rather than an intentional UX choice.

This change fixes that inconsistency with the smallest possible scope and no broader toast-system behavior changes.

This fix resolves the issue #390 and #419

UI Changes

Before the fix

the toast would stick forever, only way to dismiss it was by sliding it off.

After the fix

the toast now auto-dismisses after 10 seconds of visible time.

Checklist

• This PR is small and focused
• I explained what changed and why
• I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
• I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Note

Set error toast dismissal to 10,000 ms in GitActionsControl to extend Git Action failure visibility in GitActionsControl.tsx

On mutation failure in GitActionsControl, update toastManager.update to spread threadToastData and add dismissAfterVisibleMs: 10_000 in GitActionsControl.tsx.

📍Where to Start

Start with the error path in the runImmediateGitActionMutation handler within GitActionsControl in GitActionsControl.tsx.

This is partially done by #642

[juliusmarminge]

i feel like error toasts shouldn't auto dismiss. if i don't pay attention and the toast dismisses before i come back, there's now no indication that the action i performed failed and i'm left wondering if it ever ran

makes sense, thanks for the review @juliusmarminge !

also,

1. Would a close (cross) button to dismiss be appropriate?
2. What about auto-dismiss progress bar for the toasts with dismissAfterVisibleMs property?
