Agent Note: User-message IconActions under the bubble
Status: implemented
English | 中文
Problem
The chat user bubble had no under-bubble action chrome. The Harness design (figma User_Bubble/message_container) shows three IconActions — copy, branch in new chat, and edit — right-aligned under the bubble, matching the product action-bar pattern used elsewhere.
Decision
MessageItem owns the actions for kind: 'user' only. Layout is a column (align-items: flex-end, 6px gap): bubble, then a 28px action row with 10px gaps and 28px circular icon buttons (IconCopyOutline16, IconBranchOutline16, IconEditOutline16). Tooltips carry Chinese labels. Actions stay visible by default; @media (hover: hover) hides them until the row is hovered or focus-within, so touch / hover: none devices keep discoverable controls (opacity alone still hit-tests).
Copy writes the bubble's joined text blocks to the clipboard (navigator.clipboard.writeText, with an execCommand fallback). Branch and edit are present chrome with no handlers yet — they reserve the design seats without inventing session-fork or edit-resubmit behavior.
Steering bubbles keep the badge-only form and do not show these actions.
Alternatives considered
Wire branch/edit to real session fork and draft-edit now. Rejected for this change: those product flows are not specified; shipping inert buttons matches the requested scope and avoids half-built mutation paths.
Always hide with opacity: 0 outside hover. Rejected for touch: without @media (hover: hover), idle opacity still hit-tests while looking empty. Hover-capable pointers keep the fade; others keep the actions visible.
Consequences
User messages expose copy immediately; branch/edit remain clickable stubs until a later decision owns their behavior. Tests pin the three buttons, copy payload, and steering exclusion.
