Question about the logic: should this only auto submit if there is an initial prompt in the recipe?

Took it for a spin and noticed a couple usability issues:

The recipe starts running behind the scenes before the param form is filled in, it shouldn't auto submit until the parameters are filled in if there are parameters in the recipe. Note the recipe is running in the screenshot below behind the param form.

I noticed its flashing the accept recipe notice for recipes that have already been accepted and its not happening on main with the same recipe (see attached video, also attached the recipe file)

@Abhijay007 appreciate you taking this on.. after looking at this more the current approach feels overcomplex and brittle. I think we might want to rewrite this rather than tacking on more logic. Do you have any ideas to make this better keeping in mind that auto submit from hub is also brittle? It's ok if we decide to punt on this for now and we can come back to it later when we do an upcoming rewrite.

I will look into that and share how we can improve this

I don't think this is the right approach. we now have 4 scenario's for useAutoSubmit? and it has two extra parameters derived from the recipe state but then does an extra recipe substitution? we need to rethink this instead of making this more complicated

Hi @DOsinga I tried to simplify the auto-submit implementation based on your feedback. Instead of adding a 4th scenario with extra parameters, I made RecipesView pass the recipe prompt as initialMessage (just like Hub does), which automatically works with existing Scenario 1.

also added a parameter check to Scenario 1 to prevent auto-submit before params are filled. This removes all the complexity that you mentioned, while still addressing all three issues: only auto-submits if recipe has a prompt, waits for parameters to be filled, and no flashing accept modal.

DOsinga · 2026-02-18T14:08:08Z

ui/desktop/src/components/recipes/RecipesView.tsx

      setView('pair', {
        disableAnimation: true,
        resumeSessionId: session.id,
+        initialMessage: recipe.prompt ? { msg: recipe.prompt, images: [] } : undefined,


Passing the recipe prompt as initialMessage so it auto-submits using the existing Scenario 1 logic (same pattern as Hub) for ref see ui/desktop/src/components/Hub.tsx:63-67 where Hub does the same thing

yes, I understand. ?:undefined === ?? is what I meant

DOsinga · 2026-02-18T14:10:11Z

ui/desktop/src/hooks/useAutoSubmit.ts

+        hasAutoSubmittedRef.current = true;
+        handleSubmit({ msg: '', images: [] });
+      }
+      return;


this code is duplicated and I think it belongs in the caller

yea, I will extract the parameter checking logic into a hasUnfilledParameters helper function to remove duplication between Scenario 1 and 3

Wait, did you mean removing scenario 3?

Update the 'Use Recipe' Desktop instructions to reflect the auto-submit change from PR #6325. Recipes now automatically submit and begin execution after acceptance, removing the need for users to manually click an activity bubble or send the prompt.
