This PR adds support for thread labels (or categories) to help users organize their conversation list.

Key changes:

  • Backend Infrastructure: Added labels: Vec<String> to ConversationThread and related summary/request models.
  • Persistence & Backfill: Updated the JSONL storage layer to persist labels. Existing threads are automatically assigned labels based on their ID patterns (e.g., proactive:morning_briefing becomes briefing, other proactive messages become notification).
  • RPC API: Exposed openhuman.threads_update_labels and updated openhuman.threads_create_new to support labels.
  • Frontend State: Updated Redux threadSlice and threadApi to handle label updates.
  • UI Enhancement: Added a horizontal label filter at the top of the thread list in the Conversations page, allowing users to quickly switch between "All", "Work", "Briefing", and "Notification" views.

Note: Rust tests and frontend Vitest could not be run in the sandbox due to missing system dependencies (alsa) and node_modules, but the implementation was verified via manual code inspection of the entire stack.

Labels sprout like carrots in a row,
Threads sorted, tabs to hop and play,
I nudged the store, then watched it grow,
A tiny rabbit cheers: code, run—let's go!"

168-173: Hardcoded "work" label for all channel-persisted threads.

All channel conversations (Slack, Discord, Telegram) receive the static "work" label. This is a reasonable default, but consider whether channel-specific labels (e.g., "slack", "discord") or making the label configurable would provide better organization for users with multiple channels.

or avoid the closure and perform the lookup inline (e.g., call

prefers) — update the assert_eq! invocations around

get_thread("proactive:system").labels or simply run cargo fmt to apply the
correct formatting.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Fix undefined variable reference: use threadId instead of thread_id.

The pipeline failure indicates threadId is declared but never read. Line 53 references thread_id which is undefined—this will cause a runtime ReferenceError. The parameter is named threadId (camelCase), but the code incorrectly uses thread_id (snake_case).

🐛 Proposed fix
   appendMessage: async (threadId: string, message: ThreadMessage): Promise<ThreadMessage> => {
     const response = await callCoreRpc<Envelope<ThreadMessage>>({
       method: 'openhuman.threads_message_append',

No linked issue — this PR does not reference a GitHub issue. Per the project's contribution norms, feature PRs should link an approved issue. Please file one and add "Closes #XXX" to the description.

The implementation is well-structured overall: the Rust controller-registry pattern is followed correctly, backward-compat serde attributes on the JSONL schema are sound, and the label inference logic for pre-existing threads is a reasonable backfill approach. Main concerns are a default-label applied at the wrong layer (duplicating infer_labels), missing ops-level debug logging on the two new handlers, a misleading empty-state string when a label filter produces zero results, and a stale selectedLabel edge case when the last thread with a given label is deleted. Details are inline.

[major] Default-label logic in thread_create_new forces "work" onto every user-created thread

request.labels.or(Some(vec!["work".to_string()])) means every call to threads_create_new with no labels — which is every existing caller (ChatRuntimeProvider, Conversations, OnboardingLayout) — silently gets the "work" label. That label then shows up in the filter tab bar, and the user can only replace it via update_labels — not remove it.

This also duplicates the defaulting: infer_labels in store.rs already returns "work" for user threads during index rebuild. So the same thread ends up with "work" from two different places depending on code path (RPC create vs. JSONL replay). A future caller that wants an unlabelled user thread via threads_create_new has no escape hatch.

The single-source-of-truth fix is to remove the .or(...) here and let the store's infer_labels be the only default:

// before
labels: request.labels.or(Some(vec!["work".to_string()])),

// after
labels: request.labels,  // store's infer_labels() applies the same default on rebuild

labels: request.labels.or(Some(vec!["work".to_string()])),

[major] thread_create_new and thread_update_labels have no entry/exit debug logging

Every other handler in this file emits a tracing::debug! on the outcome — thread_generate_title, messages_list, message_append, etc. Both new/changed handlers are silent at the ops layer, so a labels-related issue produces no trace above the store-level log.

// add after ensure_thread() call in thread_create_new:
tracing::debug!(
    thread_id = %thread.id,
    labels = ?thread.labels,
    "[threads] created new thread"
);

// add after update_thread_labels() call in thread_update_labels:
tracing::debug!(
    thread_id = %request.thread_id,
    labels = ?request.labels,
    "[threads] updated thread labels"
);

[major] thread_update_labels accepts an empty labels vec with no validation

Calling threads_update_labels with labels: [] strips all labels from a thread and succeeds silently. There is no UI to re-add labels; the only path back is another RPC call. The schema comment says "List of labels to assign" — the intent on whether empty is valid is ambiguous.

More practically: the updateThreadLabels thunk in threadSlice.ts has no guard. If a bug passes an empty array, the thread silently disappears from every non-"All" filter view with no user feedback.

Either reject an empty vec at the ops layer, or explicitly document in both the schema comment and the ops docstring that empty is valid (clears all labels) so callers know it is intentional.

[minor] infer_labels is pure business logic embedded in store.rs

This function has no I/O or store state — it maps a thread ID to a default label set. Embedding it in store.rs means it cannot be called from ops.rs without a layering violation, and it cannot be unit-tested in isolation. store.rs is already at 556 lines.

Consider moving it to types.rs or a small labels.rs module (pub(crate)) so it can be reused and tested directly. Not a blocker, but this is the natural extraction point before the store grows further.

[major] Empty-state message says "No threads yet" when the real cause is "no threads match this filter"

When selectedLabel !== "all" and sortedThreads is empty because all threads carry a different label, the user sees "No threads yet" — which reads as if the app has no threads at all. A user who just created threads and then clicks "Briefing" can genuinely think their data is gone.

// before
<p className="px-4 py-6 text-xs text-stone-400 text-center">No threads yet</p>

// after
<p className="px-4 py-6 text-xs text-stone-400 text-center">
  {selectedLabel === 'all'
    ? 'No threads yet'
    : `No "${selectedLabel}" threads`}

[minor] selectedLabel can become stale when the last thread with that label is deleted

If a user selects "briefing" and then the proactive:morning_briefing thread is deleted, allLabels no longer contains "briefing" and the tab bar drops that tab — but selectedLabel stays "briefing" in state. The result is an invisible filter: "All" does not appear visually active, yet every thread is hidden because t.labels.includes("briefing") returns false for all remaining threads.

// add after the labelTabs useMemo:
useEffect(() => {
  if (selectedLabel !== 'all' && !allLabels.includes(selectedLabel)) {
    setSelectedLabel('all');
  }
}, [allLabels, selectedLabel]);

[minor] Empty updateThreadLabels.fulfilled case is noise

The comment explains it is redundant because the thunk already dispatches loadThreads(). That is correct — but an empty addCase reads as an intentional no-op placeholder and will make the next person wonder why. If no state mutation is needed, drop the case entirely (RTK's default behavior is already a no-op):

// remove:
.addCase(updateThreadLabels.fulfilled, () => {
  // Redundant as updateThreadLabels thunk already dispatches loadThreads()
})

[minor] No JSON-RPC E2E test for threads_update_labels or the labels field in threads_create_new

The project convention (CLAUDE.md feature design workflow, step 3) is to extend tests/json_rpc_e2e.rs for new RPC methods before the UI layer. threads_update_labels is new and threads_create_new gained a labels param — neither is exercised in the E2E suite. The store and ops unit tests are solid, but there is no test that round-trips the full JSON-RPC envelope.

A minimal addition would: (1) call threads_create_new with {"labels": ["custom"]} and assert the returned summary includes labels: ["custom"]; (2) call threads_update_labels with {thread_id, labels: ["updated"]} and assert the result; (3) call threads_list and confirm the stored state reflects the update.

[minor] Capability catalog (src/openhuman/about_app/catalog.rs) not updated for the new label filter feature

CLAUDE.md: "when a change adds/removes/renames a user-facing feature, update src/openhuman/about_app/". The label tab bar is a visible UX addition. Suggest a new entry adjacent to the existing conversation capabilities:

Capability {
    id: "conversation.label_filter",
    name: "Thread Label Filters",
    domain: "conversation",
    category: CapabilityCategory::Conversation,
    description: "Filter the thread list by label (Work, Briefing, Notification) using the tab bar at the top of the thread list.",
    how_to: "Conversations > Label tabs",
    status: CapabilityStatus::Beta,
    privacy: None,
},

- ops.rs: remove `.or(Some(vec!["work"]))` from thread_create_new so
  infer_labels() in the store remains the single source of truth for
  default labels (graycyrus #3153735506)
- ops.rs: add tracing::debug! on thread_create_new and
  thread_update_labels exit paths for end-to-end traceability
  (graycyrus #3153735523)
- ops.rs: document that an empty labels vec is valid and clears all
  labels; clarify intent in docstring (graycyrus #3153735535)
- Conversations.tsx: replace dynamic labelTabs useMemo with a fixed
  constant so tabs don't disappear when a category is empty
  (coderabbitai #3144100444)
- Conversations.tsx: fix empty-state message to say 'No "<label>"
  threads' when a label filter is active, not 'No threads yet'
  (graycyrus #3153735543)
- Conversations.tsx: add useEffect to reset stale selectedLabel when
  the last thread with that label is deleted (graycyrus #3153735549)
- threadSlice.ts: remove empty updateThreadLabels.fulfilled addCase
  that was a no-op placeholder (graycyrus #3153735559)
- catalog.rs: add conversation.label_filter capability entry
  (graycyrus #3153735578)
- tests/json_rpc_e2e.rs: add json_rpc_thread_labels_create_and_update
  E2E test for threads_create_new with labels and threads_update_labels
  (graycyrus #3153735568)
The threads_create_new / update_labels / list RPCs return ApiEnvelope
({data, meta}), so the test must read fields from the data envelope
rather than the outer JSON-RPC result.
