ROOT FIX (product bug): POST /api/settings never invalidated the session-list
cache, so toggling show_cli_sessions/show_cron_sessions could serve a stale
sidebar for up to the cache TTL when the settings-file mtime stamp collided with
a cached entry. The handler now clears the cache directly on those toggles. This
is also the root cause of the recurring test_gateway_sync CI flake (session
absent from /api/sessions right after the visibility toggle).
DEFENSE-IN-DEPTH: cleanup_test_sessions fixture now resets show_cli_sessions to
default BEFORE each test too, not only in teardown.
FLAKE FIX (test infra): bump 31 node-subprocess correctness-harness timeouts from
10s -> 30s across 23 test files. Node spawn + V8 warmup under parallel CI shard
load can exceed 10s, causing TimeoutExpired flakes (e.g. test_1325 on #4445).
Only real node subprocess.run() sites changed — mock signatures, HTTP urlopen,
and deliberate timeout-behavior tests (test_api_timeout, timeout=0/1/2) untouched.
* fix(sidebar): keep active New Chat visible before first message (#3408, @AJV20)
Squashed net diff of #3408. Injects ONLY the active ephemeral session into the
sidebar render rows (when the server list omits it) so a freshly-created New Chat
stays visible/selected before its first turn; inactive empty sessions stay
filtered as before. New Chat also resets a CLI source-filter back to webui so the
active chat isn't immediately hidden.
* fix(sidebar): gate active-row reinjection to 0-message ephemeral only (#3408 Codex follow-up)
Codex review found _ensureActiveSessionRowPresent re-injected ANY active session
after search-merge — so an active conversation WITH messages that was correctly
filtered out by the search query would pollute unrelated search results. Gate the
reinjection to Number(activeRow.message_count||0)<=0 so only the freshly-created
0-message ephemeral chat is re-added; an active chat with messages stays filtered
by search as before. Added a regression test asserting the gate.
