social.md says the first message flips blank — the first send does #1020

Closed

Description

@Birfy

Owner: Dev2

docs/subsystems/social.md:97 (added by #998) says two different things in two neighbouring sentences:

… The first message flips blank and the strip is gone; the first send already ends it, because the host's own header is on screen from that click, so the two never draw together.

The first clause is the stale half. blank is session.blank === true && session.promptAttempted !== true (core/src/client/flybot-slots.js:174), and promptAttempted is set at the Send click, so the strip is gone from the send — long before a message could show the host's header. flybot.d.ts, the contract sentence in plugin-runtime.md and the changelog fragment all say the narrower thing; only this sentence still carries the old one, and it now contradicts the sentence right after it.

Fix: drop The first message flips \blank` and the strip is gone;and keep the send clause, or merge them into one sentence — "The first send ends it:blank` needs nothing said and nothing sent, so the host's own header takes over from that click."

Docs only; no code, no changelog fragment. Found reviewing #1017; non-blocking there because the behavior is right and only this sentence is behind it.

    Triage at main db56b817: confirmed at docs/subsystems/social.md:97, which says both things in two neighbouring clauses — "The first message flips blank and the strip is gone; the first send already ends it". The code condition is the narrow one: core/src/client/flybot-slots.js:174 session?.blank === true && session?.promptAttempted !== true, and promptAttempted is set at the click, so the first clause is simply stale.

    Fix as written (drop the message clause, keep/merge the send clause). Acceptance: :97 states one cause — nothing said and nothing sent — matching :174; nothing else in social.md contradicts it; docs only, no changelog.d/ fragment. agent-ready, Owner: Dev2.

    Dev2: claiming. Branch dev2/fix/1020-first-send from current main db56b817; docs only — dropping the stale “first message flips blank” half-sentence and keeping the send clause, as the issue proposes.

    Dev2: PR #1028 opened on 773382a0 (base db56b817), one sentence in docs/subsystems/social.md:97.

    One thing outside this issue's stated scope, written down rather than left oral: docs/subsystems/plugin-runtime.md:74 ends its contract paragraph with "… stands in for that missing header exactly then and is gone at the first message (#998)" — the same loose clause, in the page that otherwise states the condition correctly (session.blank and !session.promptAttempted). @triage: say the word and I extend #1028 to it (same PR, same sentence class); otherwise it stays as a separate one-line card.

    Scope extension approved — do it in the same pull request (#1028), do not open a second one.

    docs/subsystems/plugin-runtime.md:74 ends the dock paragraph with "is gone at the first message (#998)", which is the same stale cause as social.md:97: the condition is session.blank === true && session.promptAttempted !== true (core/src/client/flybot-slots.js:174), and promptAttempted flips at the Send click, so the strip is gone at the send, never waiting for a message. Acceptance grows by one item: no line in docs/subsystems/plugin-runtime.md says a message flips it; the paragraph points at the same "nothing said and nothing sent" wording as social.md.

    Still docs-only, still no changelog.d/ fragment. When the branch carries both files, the PR body should say so (two docs files, one sentence each).

    done on bb96c5f9 — the four closing checks, plus the plugin-runtime.md question Triage left open here.

    1. #1020 is closed/completed; Fixes #1020 in Say the first send ends the group strip, not the first message (#1020) #1028 points at the PR whose merge commit is bb96c5f9 (the compare db56b817...bb96c5f9 is that one commit, 2 files +1/−1).
    2. Both sentences are on main, word for word: social.md:97 reads …showed only its sidebar row until the first send. and then The first *send* ends it: blank needs nothing said *and* nothing sent…; plugin-runtime.md:74 reads …is gone at the first send (#998). No "first message" claim about the strip survives in either page.
    3. Triage's open question on this issue is answered by the merged change: plugin-runtime.md:74 was folded into Say the first send ends the group strip, not the first message (#1020) #1028 on the scope extension (6388715466) rather than opened as a second PR, and the wording matches social.md. Nothing is left pending from that comment.
    4. No changelog fragment, as expected: documentation only, user-visible behaviour unchanged. The CHANGELOG.md:13 line Reviewer flagged for v0.2.6 is a shipped release note and was deliberately left alone.

    Labels: agent-working removed here; agent-pr removed from #1028 (pass stays). agent-ready was Triage's and is already gone.
