First of two stacked PRs from a UX pass on CIE signing across this dashboard, the backend and the agent.

  • Signing dialog:
    • It uses the house dialog shell and has a finished state.
    • It stays open on a click outside it.
    • It notices a closed eSign window and reuses an open one.
    • It shows when PoliNetwork eSign stops answering, and how an attempt ended.
    • "Open the window again" is its primary action.
  • Requests:
    • The list says whom a request waits on and keeps the status filter on Back.
    • Sign with CIE unlocks when the other signer finishes.
    • Cancelling warns that it interrupts a signature in progress.
    • There is no delivery promise for cancelled and declined requests.
    • Documents to sign show on the Overview.
  • Composer:
    • Every problem shows at its field.
    • Signers and roles can be picked from the keyboard.
    • The output folder is named and the last one reopens.
    • It asks before discarding a request in progress.
    • Role boxes stay under their label.
  • Viewer: a signer can move their box to another page, and the toolbar names who is being placed.
  • Setup: first-time installers are walked past Gatekeeper and SmartScreen.

main is merged in. pnpm check, pnpm typecheck, pnpm test and pnpm build pass.

Deploy after the backend PR PoliNetworkOrg/backend#91.

The unsigned agent is always blocked on a new Mac or Windows laptop, and the
setup page didn't say so. It now names the .dmg and .zip, the Open Anyway and
Run anyway steps, and how to check and start PoliNetwork eSign.
Clicking the dashboard behind the agent window used to land on the scrim, cancel the
signature and close the PIN window. Only the footer buttons and Escape end it now.
Nothing on a signer's computer is called "the agent", and the dashboard no longer
points to a missing button or repeats the PIN attempt count the eSign window shows.
A signer who has never signed on this computer learns about the one-time setup
before pressing Sign, not after it fails. The link opens a new tab so moved
boxes and batch review progress survive.
A role typed before the PDF or its labels loaded left the box at the default
spot, and changing the document reset the title, file name and folder. The
role now places its box whenever the labels arrive, and edits are kept.
A stopped request no longer draws pending boxes, says "Waiting" or "Will be
saved to". While delivery runs, Delivery shows Saving/Sending with a spinner and
switches to Saved as soon as Activity does.
…shed state (E17)

The dialog is 460px with a full-width footer and the shared motion, keeps its content
while it fades out, and once everything is signed says so instead of 'Type your PIN'
next to 'Stop here'. Escape no longer closes it while the page reloads.
Enter adds the highlighted person and moves focus to their role, whose
suggestions now use the dashboard's own list instead of the browser's
datalist. Reorder arrows appear only with two or more signers, and removing
a signer keeps focus in the list.
…en (E15)

Closing the eSign window now shows 'The PoliNetwork eSign window was closed' within a
poll instead of 'Type your PIN' for ten minutes. 'Show the window' focuses the open one
instead of opening a second PIN form, so Cancel leaves no window behind.
In dark mode the window no longer flashes a white 'Opening PoliNetwork eSign…' page
before the agent's dark form: the placeholder uses the agent page's own colours.
…n Back

The requests list names the person an in-progress request waits on, To sign
drops the Status column, ?status= survives opening a row, and the request page
shows when each waiting signer was emailed or why they couldn't be.
When someone is signing the request right now, the Cancel request dialog says
they won't be able to finish.
A co-signer blocked by someone signing the same request no longer has to reload:
the request and batch pages check every 3 s while the tab is visible, keep the
moved boxes, and enable signing as soon as the other signature ends.
A blocked submit used to show one problem at a time in a banner that could
render below the fold. Each problem now appears at its field, and focus
moves to the first one; a refused create scrolls its error into view.
Signatures › To sign on the Overview now carries the same count pill as the
panel, so someone landing there sees waiting signatures without opening
Signatures. Reports › Open uses the same shell count.
Cancelling in the eSign window now just closes the dialog. A request cancelled or
declined by someone else, a link that expired (with Start again) and an error that
ends the job (PIN blocked, CIE not set up, with the setup guide) each say what
happened, and closing reloads the page so it no longer offers a stale Sign button.
… (E4)

When the eSign window reports that the agent behind it died, the dialog swaps 'Type
your PIN' for how to start it and open the window again. The message is documented in
the contracts, as the first postMessage detail the dashboard acts on.
… access impact (C6, C9)

The backend adds these fields and the accessImpact query; the contracts list them first
so the dashboard work can follow once the package is released.
Leaving the new-request page through a link, the rail, the command palette,
browser Back or a reload threw away the document, signers and boxes. It now
asks first; moving to the request just created is never interrupted.
The output row cut the folder name off after the drive label. It now shows
the folder over where it is, and both drive browsers open in the folder
used last instead of the drive's top folder.
Add place pushed the PDF down with a banner just as the pointer aimed at
the page. The hint now replaces the page counter in the viewer's toolbar,
with a Cancel button, and Esc leaves placing mode.
Step 4 said the status page "should say it's ready to sign", but the only released agent (v0.3.0) shows "The agent
is running" and never says ready; only the next agent release's status page says "Ready to sign". Since the admin may
ship before that release, the step now says the page should show that PoliNetwork eSign is running and ready to sign,
which fits both. TRACKER.md records the dependency so the step can quote "Ready to sign" once the agent is released.
A box put on the wrong page (an annex, say) left the signer with signing
in the wrong place or declining. "Move to another spot" now waits for a
click on any page, as in the composer, on the request and batch pages.
…e (E30)

Close on an ended attempt waits for router.invalidate({ sync: true }) before
the dialog closes, so the page shows the cancelled or failed request as it is
now. During that wait the button gave no feedback and Start again ignored
clicks silently. Close is now a LoadingButton (spinner, disabled, aria-busy)
for the whole reload and the fade-out, and Start again is disabled meanwhile,
as docs/design.md asks of pending actions.
Next document used to fetch the PDF after the click, then smooth-scroll the
box over blank paper. The batch now fetches the next document in advance,
the viewer jumps to the box, and zooming keeps the middle of the view.
Moving a signer with Move up/Move down from the keyboard dropped focus to
the page body: the moved row's DOM node is reinserted, and an arrow that
reaches the end of the list becomes disabled. A layout effect now puts the
focus back on the same arrow of the moved row, or on the opposite arrow
when the row reached the top or bottom. It only acts when the arrow had
the focus, so a mouse click in Safari moves no focus.
The signing dialog said "Request cancelled" for any job carrying the request_cancelled
or request_declined code. It now also requires the job to be cancelled, as the backend does.
… dashboard

A signature the backend ended because someone else signed meanwhile no longer tells the
signer to "start again from the dashboard" while they are in it. The test also covers
the cancelled-job check of the previous commit.
After another person cancelled or declined the request mid-signature, the PoliNetwork
eSign window kept asking for a PIN that could sign nothing. It now closes with the dialog's message.
… action

When PoliNetwork eSign isn't answering, its three actions no longer wrap into a ragged
stack: Start and Setup guide share one row, and Open the window again sits in the footer
beside Cancel, as it does when the window was closed.
…livery

A cancelled or declined request without an output folder or an email no longer says it
wasn't delivered: it shows no Delivery card. With delivery set up the line stays.
…s window

The contract now says that only the next agent release reports a stopped agent, that
closed-window detection needs no Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy on either page, and which
errors return to the PIN form or end the window while the job stays open.
…d release

The tracker records what the pass changed, the admin follow-ups that need the next
backend release, and where the open product decisions are.
The tracker entry cited review labels that only exist outside the repo, and the dialog note
missed the batch label of the outline button.

Walkthrough

This PR updates dashboard pending-count badges and expands e-sign request creation, PDF placement, signing-attempt recovery, setup guidance, and request-list behavior. It also updates related contracts, design and tracker documentation, shared UI primitives, and tests.

Changes

Dashboard pending counts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pending-count data and overview badges
src/components/shell/*, src/features/dashboard/overview-page.tsx, src/routes/dashboard/index.tsx, docs/design.md
The dashboard passes pending counts from route data to the overview. Service-section links render formatted count pills through the shared shell component. The pills are absent when the count is zero or its load fails.

E-sign workflows

Layer / File(s) Summary
PDF placement and viewer interactions
src/features/esign/places.ts, src/features/esign/placing.tsx, src/features/esign/pdf-viewer.tsx, src/features/esign/batch-page.tsx, src/features/esign/request-page.tsx, tests/esign-places.test.mjs
The PDF viewer supports placement status, cancellation, focus navigation, and position preservation during zoom. Batch and request views can move signature boxes by clicking the PDF. The batch view shares and preloads PDF requests.
Request authoring and Drive selection
src/components/primitives/combobox.tsx, src/components/primitives/index.ts, src/features/esign/drive-browser.tsx, src/features/esign/new-request-page.tsx, tests/esign-mutation-refresh.test.mjs
The request form adds field-level validation, signer autocomplete and focus handling, role-managed placements, remembered Drive-folder selection, and discard confirmation. The Drive browser supports an initial folder and falls back to the drive root if that folder cannot be listed.
Signing attempts and agent recovery
src/features/esign/sign-with-cie.tsx, src/features/esign/setup-page.tsx, src/features/esign/use-reload-while.ts, src/features/esign/batch-page.tsx, src/features/esign/request-page.tsx, docs/esign/contracts.md, docs/esign/TRACKER.md, tests/esign-mutation-refresh.test.mjs
The signing dialog handles completed, cancelled, failed, and expired attempts, and adds actions for closed or unresponsive agent windows. Setup instructions and signing-message contracts describe agent status and recovery behavior. Pages reload while signing locks or related state are active.
Request status, filtering, and delivery details
src/features/esign/request-status.tsx, src/features/esign/requests-page.tsx, src/features/esign/request-page.tsx, src/routes/dashboard/esign/requests/index.tsx, src/routes/dashboard/esign/inbox.tsx, docs/esign/contracts.md, docs/design.md
Status filters are controlled by URL search parameters and apply to inbox requests. The list shows turn-aware signer text and omits the inbox status column. Request details include signer notification and delivery progress information.

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fd91e

Two small issues remain: a garbled macOS setup instruction and a Drive-folder memory write that can show a misleading error if browser storage fails. Neither blocks signing, so the change is mergeable with minor follow-up.

- Around line 320-322: In importFromDrive, guard the LAST_FOLDER_KEY write to
window.localStorage with its own try/catch so storage failures do not reach the
import error handler. Keep setLastFolder(last) outside the guard so remembering
the folder in component state still occurs when persistence fails.

- Around line 62-63: Update the macOS installation instructions in the

localStorage.setItem can throw (storage full or blocked). The write sat in importFromDrive's try block after adopt had staged the document, so a failure showed "Couldn't open the PDF." and skipped setLastFolder. Remembering the folder is now best-effort.
The quoted text is the start of the macOS notice, not a label next to the button. Match the agent README: Open Anyway sits next to the message about PoliNetwork eSign.
