fix: proposed plans can be cited like assistant messages - #26616
Selecting text in an assistant message shows a Cite button, but selecting text in a proposed plan card shows nothing. Plan cards still render after #33131, for plan threads started by agents and MCP clients, and a plan card is the assistant's answer split out of the message. So it's the one piece of 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.
The collapsed preview's ... marker can't be selected and stays out of citation text (Maria's fixes).
Works with any provider that produces proposed plans.
Scope and approval
Replaces #17249, which was closed for missing UI evidence. Also proposed in #16169, split out from #16216.
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. Updated for #33131. The evidence below was captured before it, so some screenshots still show the Build/Plan toggle and the Implement button, which are gone now.
Verification
Dev build, demo repo, a plan-mode reply that contains a plan card followed by a short message.
Before: plan text, no Cite
Before: message text, Cite
After: 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.

current-head verification (2026-11-15)
merged current main without rebasing, preserving plan and agent-sent-message citations. blacksmith check:changed passed (209 tests plus six compiler checks). verified plan citation selection, repeated expansion, persistence after reload, and exact quote delivery through real codex and the web client on 5fb675e168.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
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.
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.

Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description covers the problem, the change, scope, and verification, and it follows the template's section structure. The problem is clear: plan cards cannot be cited, unlike assistant messages. The change lists the wrapping in AssistantCitationSource, the citationSourceId resolution, the expand-on-target behavior, and the preview marker fix. Scope cites the replaced PR #17249 and the existing-behavior defect framing, which the template asks for in lieu of a linked issue. Verification includes before/after screenshots, a recording, the test names with pass counts, typecheck/lint results, and items not checked. Minor gaps: the scope section does not link a tracking issue that shows the bug, and the closing line about the agent model is present but the stated model name is unusual, so it may need confirmation. The description is mostly complete.

Review comments at @apps/web/src/components/chat/ProposedPlanCard.tsx:
- Around line 60-62: Update the ProposedPlanCard logic that compares
forceExpanded with wasForceExpanded to track the citation activation key instead
of only the boolean transition. Expand the plan whenever a new citation
activation key arrives, including when forceExpanded stays true because one
active target is replaced by another.
Review comments at @apps/web/src/components/chat/TimelineAssistantRows.tsx:
- Line 229: Update the AssistantCitationSource content in the collapsed preview
so the generated ellipsis is excluded from the citation text stream, or capture
citation context from the full plan instead. Preserve the visible preview
ellipsis while ensuring citation suffix context comes only from plan text.

merged current github/main (2e9418af79) without rebasing. resolved citation conflicts by preserving both proposed-plan citations and main's agent-sent-message citations, including both existing regression cases. pushed merge commit 5fb675e1684cb1ccbf72f138ff54386bf4234009 to the existing head. the effective diff remains 9 files, +127/-42.
blacksmith vp run check:changed passed format, lint, knip, affected typechecks, 209 tests in five files, and six react compiler checks. all 33 reported check contexts are successful (including expected skips); github reports MERGEABLE, and every required check passes. two independent read-only reviewers approved this head. earlier bot findings are already addressed; no new actionable finding appeared.
verified in the real web client with chrome and real codex gpt-6-luna: select collapsed plan text, cite it, expand from the citation, collapse and expand again, submit the quote, receive the exact quote back, reload, and activate the saved citation twice. ordinary assistant selection still offers cite. main removed the plan-mode composer control, so the plan-producing turn used the shared client command API with plan mode. no mocks or database fixtures.
native mobile, electron shell, other providers, remote/tunnel connections, and paging beyond loaded history remain unverified.
Earlier verification:
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:
main: selected "Return a stable JSON health response."; cite=false
fixed head: same selection; cite=true
preview-boundary quote: "Repeatable health check."
activation 1 and 2: expanded=true; firstOccurrence=true; changedTextToast=false
codex reply: "Repeatable health check." / "it is a checklist item."
before, matching plan and selection:
after:
recording (animated GIF): persisted citation, correct repeated-text highlight, collapse, and repeat. uploaded playback and seeking were checked.
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).
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.

🤖 beep boop, message from your friendly AI: merged main after #33131. Main deleted proposedPlan.test.ts with the plan follow-up code, so I kept only @maria-rcks's preview-ellipsis regression test and dropped the tests for the removed follow-up. Plan cards still render for agent and MCP plan threads, so citing them still applies. Description updated. Tests pass locally (113).
