​
Chat Experience

This is the central OpenChat feature set used by all authenticated users.

​
Core Message Lifecycle

  1. User submits text/files through PremiumPromptInputInner.
  2. use-persistent-chat orchestrates chat creation + action dispatch.
  3. Streaming updates are applied while job status is active.
  4. Final message state is persisted via Convex mutations.

​
Built-in Message Actions

From message-actions.tsx and related hooks:
  • Edit previous user message.
  • Retry response with same or different model.
  • Fork chat from any message to create a branch.
  • Copy user or assistant content.

​
Streaming and Recovery

  • Live updates are managed by use-chat-streaming.ts.
  • Active stream jobs are read from Convex and resumed on reconnect.
  • Stop generation shortcut and UI action both cancel active stream state.
  • Chat list comes from paginated chats.list query.
  • Supports rename, delete, bulk delete, unread markers, and active stream indicators.
  • Route /c/$chatId loads specific conversation context.

​
