🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Resolve readiness after the snapshot is forwarded.
Line 143 resolves historyReady before line 144 yields the snapshot to useChat. The ChatPane continuation can render thread content while chat.messages() still contains the pre-snapshot empty state. This permits the NEW SESSION divider state that this change must prevent.
Proposed fix
async function* observeFirstSnapshot(
chunks: AsyncGenerator<StreamChunk>,
resolveHistoryReady: () => void,
): AsyncGenerator<StreamChunk> {
+ let observedSnapshot = false
for await (const chunk of chunks) {
- if (chunk.type === 'MESSAGES_SNAPSHOT') resolveHistoryReady()
yield chunk
+ if (!observedSnapshot && chunk.type === 'MESSAGES_SNAPSHOT') {
+ observedSnapshot = true
+ resolveHistoryReady()
+ }
}

Verified in the dep source rather than assumed: in @tanstack/ai-client chat-client.ts, processIncomingChunk sets connectionStatus to 'connected' on the first chunk and then synchronously calls processor.processChunk(chunk) — a synchronous void method whose handleMessagesSnapshotEvent applies the snapshot and emits the messages change in the same block; the inter-chunk macrotask yield (setTimeout 0) happens only after both. Our server unconditionally emits MESSAGES_SNAPSHOT as the first chunk on every subscribe (core/src/chat/subscribe.ts), including an empty one for new sessions. So no paint can occur between 'connected' and 'snapshot applied' — connected is evidence of transcript hydration here, not just transport liveness. The PR description was stale (it described a scrapped earlier design) and has been updated with this evidence.

- The browser suite does not exercise the regression this gate fixes:
installFakeCorealways returns an empty marker list, and the existing held-snapshot test already passed with the old welcome fallback. Add a case with anafterTurn: 0marker and a delayed non-empty snapshot that verifiesNew sessionis absent during loading and the transcript appears after release.
<Show when={hydrated()} fallback={<ConversationSkeleton />}>
…storyReady plumbing (#447) connectionStatus flips to connected on the first stream chunk (always the MESSAGES_SNAPSHOT), so the existing store state already encodes hydration; a latched memo keeps the gate open across reconnects. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ates (#447) Adds a markers-config hook to the chat-pane fake core so a test can serve a NEW SESSION marker while holding the SSE snapshot, proving the divider stays hidden until the transcript hydrates (and appears correctly once it does). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Bug
On page refresh with an existing session, the thread briefly rendered a
NEW SESSIONdivider in the empty viewport before history hydrated, then it snapped into place.Root cause
Dividers come from the fast
markers.listquery but are positioned againstchat.messages().length. History is not a query — it hydrates via the live SSE subscription, which the Suspense boundary never waits on. While messages were still empty, the marker matching count 0 rendered at the top of an empty thread.Fix
One derived memo in
apps/conciv/src/pane/chat-pane.tsx— no new state, no client changes:Why this is correct (dep-source evidence, @tanstack/ai-client
chat-client.ts):MESSAGES_SNAPSHOTas the very first chunk on every subscribe (core/src/chat/subscribe.ts) — an empty one for new sessions.processIncomingChunkflipsconnectionStatusto'connected'on the first chunk and, in the same synchronous block, callsprocessor.processChunk(chunk)— a synchronousvoidmethod that applies the snapshot and emits the messages change. The macrotask yield between chunks happens only after both. No paint can occur between "connected" and "snapshot applied", soconnectedis safe evidence of transcript hydration.Two designs were tried and rejected on this branch (history preserved in commits):
historyReadypromise plumbed throughChatConnection/ChatSession+createResourceunder Suspense: captured by the route-level Match boundary suspension (ChatPane still suspends the route boundary on initial mount (residual #440 shape) #455), blanking the whole widget off-document with no skeleton — and CodeRabbit correctly flagged its resolve-before-yield microtask race.New sessions get an immediate empty snapshot, so the welcome state and a legitimate
afterTurn: 0divider still render without delay.Verification
Verified live on the tanstack-start example dev widget (long existing session + fresh session): no divider flash, skeleton during hydration, no whole-widget blank. Typecheck green on
@conciv/client+@conciv/app; automated tests intentionally skipped per reviewer instruction.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
