Problem

Selecting text in an assistant message shows a Cite button, but selecting text in a proposed plan card shows nothing. The plan is the assistant's answer in plan mode, split out of the message into a card, so the most important part of a plan-mode reply is the only assistant text that can't be cited.

Change

  • Proposed plan rows are citation sources: ProposedPlanTimelineRow is wrapped in the existing AssistantCitationSource, keyed by the plan row id.
  • citationSourceId resolves a citation to a message id or a plan row id, and citationProcedure.ts uses it to find, page toward, and load the cited plan. No contract or server change; history paging already matches by id.
  • The plan card expands when it is the citation target, and Collapse plan still works afterwards.
  • Works with any provider that produces proposed plans.

Scope and approval

Replaces #17249, which was closed for missing UI evidence. That evidence is now under Verification.

Existing-behavior defect rather than a new feature: citing assistant text already exists, and plan cards are assistant output that silently opts out of it. The before screenshots show the same selection on the same reply, Cite on the message and nothing on the plan. Also proposed in #16169, split out from #16216.

Verification

Dev build, demo repo, a plan-mode reply that contains a plan card followed by a short message.

Before: plan text, no CiteBefore: message text, CiteAfter: plan text, Cite
Before: plan text, no CiteBefore: message text, CiteAfter: plan text, Cite

Recording: select plan text, Cite, collapse the plan, then click the composer chip. It jumps back to the plan, expands it and highlights the quote, and Collapse plan still works afterwards.

Tests: MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts and citationProcedure.test.ts (103 passed, new plan case for citation resolution). Web typecheck, lint and fmt clean on touched files. Not checked: mobile (no citation UI there) and MessagesTimeline.browser.test.tsx.

Walkthrough

Citation lookup now supports proposed-plan entries and rows as assistant citation sources. A matching proposed-plan card expands when its citation becomes active. Collapsed plan previews expose truncation state, and tests cover citation matching and preview text selection.

Changes: Proposed-plan citation support

Layer / File(s)Summary
Citation source resolution
apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/citationProcedure.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/citationProcedure.test.ts		citationSourceId returns IDs for message and proposed-plan rows. Timeline lookup and citation-phase resolution use it to match proposed-plan entries and rows. Proposed-plan items are classified as assistant citations. Tests cover identifier and citation-phase behavior.
Plan row citation, expansion, and preview rendering
apps/web/src/components/chat/TimelineAssistantRows.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/ProposedPlanCard.tsx, apps/web/src/proposedPlan.ts, apps/web/src/proposedPlan.test.ts		Proposed-plan rows join the assistant citation source flow. The card expands when expandKey changes to a non-null value. The preview builder returns Markdown and a truncation flag; the card renders an ellipsis when truncated. A test checks citation text selection at the collapsed preview boundary.

The Cite control may not appear when selecting through a collapsed preview’s ellipsis. Reselecting the text avoids the issue.

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Verified in a real dev environment

verified on linux with the real dev web app, repo Playwright, /usr/bin/google-chrome, and real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. created the project and conversations through the app. no mocks, fixtures, or replay data.

reproduced on github/main (15fe283272) in a separate worktree: selecting plan text had no cite action; ordinary assistant text did. then checked the exact original head 6a9030ea37, using the same app-created conversation. plan selection, composer citations, repeated expansion/highlighting beyond the preview, and persisted citation navigation after reload worked. submitted a citation and saw Codex repeat its exact sentence. ordinary assistant citations and complete markdown downloads also worked.

found and fixed the preview-boundary bug in 59a34206d8080a0965c84204e7700f4a2fc45b90: the generated ellipsis entered citation suffix context, so an unchanged repeated quote showed a changed-text warning after expansion. the ellipsis remains visible and is excluded from citation text. restarted the dev server and reverified: both activations highlighted the first of two identical checklist items, no warning appeared, and manual collapse still worked. the fixed citation reached Codex and its exact quote appeared in the answer.

blacksmith vp run check:changed cb9629e6891ef0745772b69f09c9acd0c6a74f7e passed format, lint, knip, affected typechecks, 149 tests including 35 browser tests, and 6 scoped React compiler checks. the regression test failed before the fix and passed after it. two independent read-only reviewers approved final head cf257169c760b900fce53cb9f9bc2f03c6363e91 with no findings.

short runtime transcript:

text
1main: selected "Return a stable JSON health response."; cite=false
2fixed head: same selection; cite=true
3preview-boundary quote: "Repeatable health check."
4activation 1 and 2: expanded=true; firstOccurrence=true; changedTextToast=false
5codex reply: "Repeatable health check." / "it is a checklist item."

before, matching plan and selection:

main plan selection without cite

after:

fixed pr plan selection with cite

recording (animated GIF): persisted citation, correct repeated-text highlight, collapse, and repeat. uploaded playback and seeking were checked.

fixed repeated plan citation opens the correct source twice

follow-up cf257169c7: reproduced the review finding by dragging through the generated ellipsis (selected=Repeatable health check. ..., cite=false). made the marker unselectable. the same real mouse drag now exposes cite, saves the quote without the ellipsis, opens the correct first repeated item without a warning, and still allows manual collapse. blacksmith check:changed passed again (149 tests).

drag through the preview boundary, cite, and open the correct plan text

Not verified

native iOS/Android, the Electron shell, macOS/Windows, other providers, remote/tunnel connections, and paging to a plan outside the loaded history window were not exercised on this linux VM.
