[Artmann]

When adding a local project, the folder browser only matched folder names by prefix. Typing ~/code/webnex found nothing for artmann-web-next, even though the rest of the command palette already matches fuzzily.

Preview

Change

filterFilesystemBrowseEntries in client-runtime now scores folder names with the shared scoreQueryMatch ranker that the model picker and slash commands use. Results rank exact, then prefix, then word start, then substring, then fuzzy subsequence. Ties keep the server's order.

An empty query still lists every folder, dot folders still appear only when the query starts with a dot, and exact-name detection for Enter is unchanged. Web, desktop, mobile, and the clone destination picker all call this one function, so they all get the new matching. Matching still covers only the typed directory and does not search subfolders.

Scope and approval

There is no prior issue or discussion for this. It is a small change confined to one client-runtime function that brings folder search in line with the matching the rest of the command palette already uses.

Verification

• Added cases to packages/client-runtime/src/state/filesystem.test.ts for substring, fuzzy, ranking order, empty query, and dot folders. The ranking test fails on main and passes with this change.
• CommandPalette.logic.test.ts and CommandPaletteContent.browser.test.tsx pass.
• vp run check:changed passes.
• Manually checked in the desktop app. Typing ~/code/webnex now shows artmann-web-next.

Walkthrough

Filesystem browse filtering now ranks nonempty queries using scored matches. It preserves candidate order for empty queries and hides dot-prefixed entries unless the query starts with a dot.

Changes: Filesystem Browse Filtering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Filter and rank browse entries packages/client-runtime/src/state/filesystem.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/filesystem.test.ts	The filter uses scoreQueryMatch to rank matches and excludes entries without a score. Empty queries retain candidate order. Dot-prefixed entries appear only for dot-prefixed queries. Tests cover matching, ranking, empty queries, and dot-folder visibility.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review 6d903

The changed folder search is mergeable after normal checks. An unusual Unicode filename could appear out of ranking order, but no material workflow failure was established.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: folder search in the add-project flow now matches substrings and fuzzy subsequences. The changeset replaces prefix-only matching in filterFilesystemBrowseEntries with the shared scoreQueryMatch ranker, and the tests cover substring, fuzzy, and ranking cases. The conventional-commit form matches the template example.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections. It gives the problem, the change, scope and approval reasoning, and verification with tests, manual desktop checks, and the unchecked mobile case. The Scope and approval section is the weak point. The template requires a linked triaged issue or maintainer-approved discussion, or an explicit reason why a small obvious bug qualifies. The author states there is no prior issue or discussion and argues the change is small. That argument may not meet the template's bar for a feature-like change to search behavior. The description also omits a before/after screenshot in the template's expected form, though it includes a preview table with an image link.

Resolution

Link the triaged issue or the maintainer-approved discussion, with the approval comment. If none exists, explain why this change qualifies as a very small, focused fix of an obvious bug, as the template requires. Confirm that the before/after preview meets the UI screenshot requirement, or add a clearer before/after pair.

match-category precedence is preserved before comparing scores; sort by category
rank first and use score only within the same category, ensuring long inputs

Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 36959be251aeedb3cef2275dcdd7f19e3b2ca404 on this linux boat vm, using repo playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome against real vp run dev servers. main was a separate worktree at 6575ce32508bd7908444241f3719aa33aaf77f90; its server was stopped before starting the pr server. both used isolated state without seeded data.

• reproduced on main: add project > local folder, /home/user/code and /home/user/tcd found no t3code folder; prefix /home/user/t3 worked.
• repeated on the pr: substring code and fuzzy tcd both found the real t3code repo. clicking the fuzzy result navigated to /home/user/t3code/; add created the project. an exact /home/user/t3code query retained the add/enter action.
• neighboring behavior: uppercase T3C matched; an empty leaf query listed visible folders without dot folders; .t3 showed the hidden folder. searching the real packages/ directory with core ranked word-start results (provider-core, source-control-core, secret-provider-core) before fuzzy results. prcore found provider-core and secret-provider-core.
• created a thread through that project's composer and selected codex gpt-6.1-sol. two real provider turns completed and rendered replies, including /home/user/t3code and FOLDER_SEARCH_PROVIDER_OK.
• blacksmith: vp test run packages/client-runtime/src/state/filesystem.test.ts apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.logic.test.ts passed, 45 tests across 2 files. no source changes or new tests were needed.

before, main with /home/user/tcd:

after, the same query and filesystem on the pr:

captures were inspected; the uploaded video played to completion and seeking worked in t3's browser.

Not verified

native ios/android, electron-specific behavior, windows/mac paths, clone destination picker, remote/relay connections, and other providers were not exercised. no claim of full ci approval: the existing github checks are red (19 failing contexts); the aggregate check log reports cancelled jobs. the focused checks above passed independently on blacksmith. no merge, rebase, force-push, label changes, or source changes were made.
