Long-running threads collect work over weeks. The environment-wide inactivity and merged-PR rules settle them anyway, and un-settle only holds until the next turn starts. There was no way to keep one thread active for good.

This adds an Auto-settle behavior submenu to the thread menu on web, desktop, and mobile, next to the other per-thread settings. It has two options, Enabled (the default) and Disabled, with the current one checked. Disabled keeps the thread out of the automatic settle paths (inactivity, merged or closed PR) until you pick Enabled again. Manual settle, snooze, and archive still work while it is disabled, and the setting survives a manual settle and un-settle.

How it works:

  • New thread.auto-settle.set command and thread.auto-settle-set event, plus autoSettleDisabledAt on the thread and shell.
  • isAutoSettlementCandidate skips threads with the flag set, and the decider rejects a stale thread.auto-settle for them.
  • Migration 53 adds auto_settle_disabled_at to projection_threads.
  • Capability threadAutoSettleOptOut gates the submenu on older servers.
  • ContextMenuItem.checked marks the current option. Electron renders it as a native checkbox item, the web fallback draws a check mark in the icon slot.
Enabled (default) Disabled
Auto-settle behavior submenu with Enabled checked Auto-settle behavior submenu with Disabled checked

Tests cover the decider, projector, settlement policy, client reducer, menu builder, and migration.

Built with Claude Fable 5.1 in Claude Code through T3 Code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added per-thread controls to disable or re-enable automatic settling from web and mobile thread menus.
    • Threads with automatic settling disabled remain out of the settled shelf, while manual settle, snooze, and archive actions remain available.
    • The control appears only when supported by the connected server.
    • Added checked states for auto-settle options in desktop and web context menus.
  • Documentation

    • Documented per-thread automatic-settle controls and their behavior in the thread sidebar guide.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new per-thread lifecycle control across web, mobile, client runtime, persistence, and server orchestration, including a gate that prevents automatic settlement. The default remains unchanged and compatibility is addressed, but the multi-layer workflow and runtime scope exceed a small self-contained additive change.

You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.

Long-running threads collect work over weeks. The environment-wide inactivity
and merged-PR rules settle them anyway, and un-settle only holds until the
next turn. Add an Auto-settle check item to the thread menu. Off keeps the
thread out of the automatic paths until the user turns it back on. Manual
settle, snooze, and archive still work.

🟠 Major · Add Auto-settle to the legacy mobile list. · apps/mobile/src/features/home/HomeScreen.tsx:887-900

887-900: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add Auto-settle to the legacy mobile list.

When threadListV2Enabled is false, HomeScreen renders ThreadListRow, but this callback and capability are passed only to ThreadListV2Row. Users on the legacy list cannot change Auto-settle. Wire the action into ThreadListRow or remove the legacy path before release.

t3dotgg and others added 2 commits September 14, 2026 20:29
A check mark is unclear when unchecked, and Electron and the web fallback
drew it differently. The item now reads Disable auto-settle or Enable
auto-settle, matching Pin/Unpin and Settle/Un-settle. Drops the checked
flag from the context menu contract.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A single verb item shared an icon with Settle and still read as an action
instead of a setting. Move it below Mark unread as Auto-settle behavior
with Enabled and Disabled options, current one checked, on web, desktop,
and mobile.
