The web and desktop sidebar can only be scoped by project. A user connected to several environments sees every machine's projects and threads mixed together and has no way to narrow the list to one machine, even though mobile already offers an Environment filter in its list options. This brings web and desktop in line with the existing mobile behavior rather than introducing a new design. Closes #8948.

Add an environment scope menu to the sidebar header, before the project scope. It lists All environments plus each enabled environment (offline ones stay listed and are marked Offline, and same-named machines are told apart by their address). Picking an environment narrows both the sidebar and the project scope menu: the thread list, draft rows and draft count, the server-side search fan-out, and the folder menu's project list only show that environment. The trigger swaps to the machine's glyph so the active scope reads without opening the menu, and All environments is one click away. The selection persists in the same local UI state as the project scope. The control is hidden when fewer than two environments are enabled, so single-machine setups are unchanged.

The two stored keys stay independent. One pure resolveSidebarScope narrows the project groups by environment before looking up the project key, so a project scope with no member on the chosen environment falls back to all projects behind the same readiness gate the project axis already used. The environment label helper moves out of Settings into state/environments.ts, the radio rows are shared by Settings, the Pull Requests server filter, and the sidebar, and the Pull Requests filter now disambiguates same-named servers too.

Validation: vp test run on the uiStateStore, environments, sidebarScope, settingsScopeAxis, settingsScope, and Sidebar.logic suites passes (6 files, 231 tests). tsc --noEmit for apps/web is clean and the lint finding set on touched files is unchanged from base. Verified in the desktop dev app against two environments: the icon appears once a second environment is added, picking one narrows the thread list and the folder menu, and reloading keeps the choice. Mobile is unchanged (it already has this filter).

Before After
Before: sidebar header with search, folder, new project and new thread, no environment control After: environment trigger shows the selected machine glyph and the folder menu lists only that machine's projects

Model: Claude Fable 5.1. Harness: Claude Code (T3 Code).

…ttings, pull requests, and sidebar

The duplicate-name disambiguation lived in components/settings and the Pull
Requests server filter never used it, so two machines named alike read as one
row there. Move the helper to state/environments as environmentScopeLabel,
extract the "All environments" plus per-environment radio rows into one
EnvironmentScopeRadioItems component that owns ALL_ENVIRONMENTS_VALUE, and
route Settings and the Pull Requests filter through them so the sidebar can
render the same rows next.

Add sidebarEnvironmentScopeId beside sidebarProjectScopeKey: same
localStorage layer, no key bump (old payloads decode to null, old builds
ignore the field). The id is decoded at the parse boundary into an Option
rather than through EnvironmentId.make, since readPersistedState wraps the
whole parse in one try/catch and a throw would discard every other field;
the decode also trims, so a padded id hydrates and a blank one is dropped.

The project scope key is a logical group key that spans machines by design,
so an environment axis cannot nest under it and a naive intersection leaves
an empty list behind two innocent-looking filters. resolveSidebarScope turns
the two stored keys, the enabled environment choices, the group list and the
snapshot readiness flag into one SidebarScope per render: the effective
environment, the group list narrowed to it, the project group looked up in
that narrowed list, a change key built from effective values, and per-axis
staleness asserted only once every enabled environment has a live snapshot.
sidebarScopeIncludes takes a primitive id plus the member key set from
sidebarScopeProjectKeys, so hot memos can key on those two instead of the
scope object. buildSidebarEnvironmentScopeItems sits next to the
presentation it projects and is empty below two enabled environments.

Multi-environment users had no way to narrow the web sidebar to one
machine; mobile's home list already offers it. A radio menu before the
folder icon lists the shared environment rows with the machine glyph on the
trigger, so the active scope reads without opening it. The Sidebar derives
one resolved scope per render and every consumer reads it: the folder
menu's project list, the settled tail reset key, the selection clear, the
empty state copy, and the server side search fan-out. The thread partition,
draft rows and draft count key on the scoped environment id and the member
key set instead of the scope object, so an unscoped sidebar does not
repartition on connection churn. The control stays hidden below two enabled
environments.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds environment scope controls to the sidebar, persists the selected environment, resolves environment and project scope together, filters sidebar content and search, and reuses shared environment labels and radio items.

Changes

Environment scope filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary

Shared radio items render all environments, machine icons, disambiguated labels, and offline status. Sidebar, settings, and server filter menus use the shared labels and controls.
Persisted environment scope state
apps/web/src/uiStateStore.ts, apps/web/src/uiStateStore.test.ts
UI state stores, sanitizes, hydrates, persists, and updates sidebarEnvironmentScopeId.
Sidebar scope resolution
apps/web/src/components/sidebar/sidebarScope.ts, apps/web/src/components/sidebar/sidebarScope.test.ts
Helpers resolve environment and project scopes, remove stale selections, compute reset keys, map physical project keys, and test scope inclusion.
Sidebar filtering integration
apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx, apps/web/src/components/sidebar/SidebarThreadHeader.tsx
The sidebar applies both scope axes to drafts, threads, search environments, project controls, reset behavior, and empty-state messages. The environment menu appears before the project scope.

Explanation

Issue [#8948] requires all environments by default, selection of one or more remote environments, and filtering of projects and threads. The PR implements the all-environments default, persistent environment scope, filtering for projects, threads, drafts, and server-side search, offline labels, and automated scope tests. SidebarEnvironmentScopeMenu uses MenuRadioGroup, sidebarEnvironmentScopeId stores one ID, and resolveSidebarScope accepts one effective environment. The implementation cannot select or filter by multiple environments.

Resolution

Replace the single environment ID scope with a set of selected environment IDs across the menu, persisted state, scope resolution, visibility checks, and server-side search. Preserve the all-environments default. Add automated tests for multiple selected environments and for projects, threads, drafts, and search results filtered by that set.

Two environments with the same name were told apart by address, but two
backends on one host (SSH profiles share user@host) still rendered as one
row. Append the environment id in that case, keep the compact forms
otherwise, and cover it with a regression test.
