feat: show, edit and filter thread tags, and manage them in settings - #36187
Threads have stored tags since #29053, but no client shows them or lets you change them. Once a project has a few dozen threads, there's no way to group them by the kind of work, like bugs, reviews or experiments, or to filter the sidebar down to one group. Proposed in discussion #29334.
(I use T3 Code daily and was missing this feature. Ehen I was disccusing with a colleague today, he asked was how to filter threads based on different work in a project, as a workaround he started copying projects so he can create new projects for filtering. So I built it for us. Feel free to close this if it's already planned or you'd rather do it differently.)
Change
Tags show on sidebar rows, the thread header and the hover card (web/desktop), and on mobile rows and headers.
Thread menu Tags…, palette Edit tags or clicking the header tags opens a picker to add, remove or create tags. Mobile gets a sheet.
Sidebar filter by tag (multiple on web, one on mobile).
Settings → Tags lists tags with counts, and rename or delete applies to every thread (one event per thread, so a failed rename never drops a tag).
Shell snapshots keep tagged threads like pinned ones, so the tag filter also finds older settled threads.
Tags are case-insensitive now (bug = Bug). feat: tag threads and hide tagged threads while recording #29053 matched exactly, which was fine when tags were only set by hand, but with a picker it splits one tag into two and lets hiddenThreadTags miss threads.
t3_thread_organize can tag/untag. Older servers hide all of it via a threadTags capability.
Needs the agent-context-increase label: +145 bytes in t3_thread_organize so agents can tag and untag threads.
Verification
Tested on web, Android 15 emulator and iOS 27.2 simulator with Replay threads:
add/remove/create tags, multi-tag filter, Settings rename (qa → QA) and delete, all confirmed in the server event log
typing qa when QA exists doesn't offer a new tag
hideTaggedThreads still hides tagged threads, now regardless of case
vp run check:changed passes, except ServerEnvironment.test.ts "publishes proven install ownership…", which fails on my Mac from the /var vs /private/var temp path and passes with TMPDIR resolved. New MCP eval cases only dry-run (no API key).
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Adds tag editing, filtering, and environment-wide management across web and mobile. The switch to case-insensitive matching changes existing tag identity and can hide additional threads under saved settings, requiring a product decision on compatibility.
Needs human approval because:

Summary
Tag contracts and client runtime packages/contracts/src/*, packages/client-runtime/src/state/*, packages/client-runtime/src/operations/commands.ts, packages/client-runtime/package.json
Contracts define tag identity, capability flags, and RPC schemas. The client runtime carries tags on thread shells, applies tag commands, and provides filtering, validation, and suggestion utilities.
Server tag operations apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/*, apps/server/src/ws.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/thread/*, apps/server/src/auth/RpcAuthorization.ts, apps/server/src/environment/ServerEnvironment.ts, apps/server/src/observability/RpcInstrumentation.ts, apps/server/src/relay/AgentAwarenessRelay.test.ts, apps/server/src/provider/agentContextBudget.json, evals/mcp-tool-use/cases/orchestration.ndjson
The server reads tagged threads and exposes tag usage, rename, and delete operations. MCP thread organization supports tag and untag. Supporting authorization, instrumentation, tests, and eval cases are updated.
Web thread tag controls and filtering apps/web/src/components/*, apps/web/src/hooks/*, apps/web/src/state/*, apps/web/src/routes/__root.tsx, apps/web/src/contextMenuFallback.ts
The web client adds tag chips, a thread tag picker, thread-menu and command-palette actions, and a saved sidebar tag filter. The sidebar filters threads and shows active-filter and empty states.
Web and mobile settings display tag usage and provide permission-gated rename and delete actions for supported environments. The settings routes and search entries expose tag management.
Mobile thread controls and filtering apps/mobile/src/App.tsx, apps/mobile/src/components/ui/Chip.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/home/*, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/*, apps/mobile/src/lib/failureMessage.ts, apps/mobile/src/persistence/mobile-preferences.ts, apps/mobile/src/state/*
The mobile client adds a searchable tag sheet, tag chips and thread-header labels, and tag filters on Home and the navigation sidebar. It persists the Home filter and exposes tag actions for supported environments.

Tag filtering on mobile and web can hide matching older settled threads that are not yet loaded. Untagged pending tasks also stay visible under a tag filter on mobile. The agent-context budget increase still needs resolving or approval before merge.

Explanation
The title "feat: show, edit and filter thread tags, and manage them in settings" matches the changeset. The diff adds tag display on rows and headers, a tag picker, a sidebar tag filter, a Settings Tags section with rename and delete, and server support for these operations. The title lists several facets, but it names the main change and the changes in the diff.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description covers the problem, the change, scope, and verification. It explains that thread tags were stored but not visible or editable in any client, and that this PR adds tag display, a picker, sidebar filtering, a Settings tag manager, shell snapshot retention, case-insensitive tags, and agent tagging via t3_thread_organize. It links discussion #29334 for scope. Verification lists the platforms tested, the operations confirmed in the server event log, one unrelated failing test with its cause, and before/after screenshots. The Problem section includes a conversational aside, and the Change section includes a note that the PR needs a specific label for the agent-context budget change. The template asks for an agent model and harness line when an agent was used, and the description does not include one. These are minor gaps, so the description is mostly complete.

Keep tag-filtered empty results out of the global empty state.
HomeRouteScreen now passes tag-filtered threads. If a selected tag has no matching threads and no pending tasks, hasAnyThreads becomes false. The return at Line 630 then shows the generic empty state and removes the iOS ThreadListFilters controls. The tag-specific empty state at Line 716 never renders.
Keep the filter controls visible when props.selectedTag !== null, and show the tag-specific empty state.

- Around line 68-94: Update the clear-filter item in the tag menu built by the
visible function to use an ID outside the `tag:` namespace, while preserving its
title, selection state, and `onTagChange(null)` behavior. Keep tag IDs generated
from tag names unchanged so a tag named `all` can be selected without colliding
with the clear action.
Review comments at @apps/mobile/src/features/threads/thread-list-v2-items.tsx:
- Around line 1305-1314: Render the existing tag display in the slim branch as
well as the card branch, reusing the current rowTags data and chip layout so
settled and snoozed threads show their tags without changing tag editing
behavior.
Review comments at @apps/mobile/src/features/threads/useThreadListV2.ts:
- Line 133: Update the tag-filter flow in useThreadListV2 so older settled
threads matching the selected tag can be retrieved, or visibly indicate that
older threads remain unloaded while the tag is active. Do not treat the
local-shell results as exhaustive or show “No threads tagged” as definitive when
matching unloaded threads may exist; the unfiltered unloaded count is not
evidence of tag matches.
Review comments at @apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadManagementService.ts:
- Line 1698: Update the caseOnly rename flow around the first/second command
selection to replace the old tag with the new tag in a single thread command, so
a failed rename retains the original tag. Extend the failure coverage to verify
that the thread’s tags are retained when a case-only rename fails.
Review comments at @apps/server/src/provider/agentContextBudget.json:
- Line 4: Resolve the agent-context budget failure by reducing model-facing text
that contributes to mcpToolListJsonBytes, then update the budget to the exact
measured value required by AgentContextBudget.test.ts. Do not change the budget
value alone; if the increase is necessary, obtain maintainer approval through
the established agent-context-increase process.
Review comments at
@apps/web/src/components/settings/ThreadTagsSettings.logic.ts:
- Line 19: Update the `names` input used by `checkTagRename` so it includes
every tag from the full query result, including hidden tags, rather than only
visible tags. Preserve the existing case-insensitive merge-target check and
dialog notice behavior.
Review comments at @apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx:
- Line 3018: Update tag-filter changes in the Sidebar to go through a handler
that clears the current thread selection before updating the filter. Wire
SidebarTagFilterMenu’s onChange, the clear action, and other tag-filter entry
points through that handler so hidden threads cannot remain selected; preserve
the existing filter behavior.
- Around line 1137-1140: Update the hidden-tag filtering in Sidebar so hidden
tags remain scoped to their environment instead of being combined into a global
hiddenTagKeys set. When applying the global tag filter, exclude a tag only for
threads in environments that hide it, while preserving filtering for
environments where it remains visible.
- Line 1152: Update the Sidebar flow around filterThreadsByTag to detect whether
any connected environment advertises threadTags. When none does, pass an empty
filter and hide tagFilterMenu and tagFilterBar without changing savedTagFilter;
when support exists, preserve the saved-filter behavior, including hiding
untagged threads from older servers in mixed connections.
- Line 511: Update the older-settled paging flow in Sidebar so an active tag
filter does not pass a zero visibleCount that prevents requesting unloaded
pages. Ensure tag-filtered results can include matching threads from older
pages, while bounding requests on tag changes so filtering does not load the
full history.

apps/mobile/src/features/home/home-list-options.ts:23-29 Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Clear the restored tag filter when no available environment supports tags.
useHomeListOptions normalizes only selectedEnvironmentId. A restored selectedTag reaches filterListedThreadsByTag unchanged in both HomeRouteScreen.tsx and ThreadNavigationSidebar.tsx. When no available environment has threadTags, untagged threads from older servers are removed. The list then shows "No threads tagged …", and the tag menu and reset control still render because they check only selectedTag !== null.
Derive an effective tag in the shared hook and keep the stored preference unchanged:
Both call sites must pass the tag-capable environment set from the same source that builds tagEnvironmentIds. While no tag-capable environment is available, the stored tag stays hidden and returns when one reconnects. Keep the reset action's clear path for the stored value in that case.

Threads could already store tags (pingdotgg#29053), but nothing in the apps let you
see or change them. This adds the UI asked for in discussion pingdotgg#29334.
- Tags show on sidebar rows, in the thread header and in the row hover card
(web/desktop), and on mobile rows and headers.
- A tag picker (search, checklist, create) opens from the thread menu,
the command palette and the header tags; mobile gets the same as a sheet.
- The sidebar can filter by one or more tags; mobile filters by one.
- Agents can tag and untag threads through t3_thread_organize.
- Tags are case-insensitive and keep their first spelling.
- Settings > Tags lists tags with thread counts and renames or deletes a
tag on every thread of that machine, archived ones included.
- Older servers hide all of this through the threadTags capability.
