rt chat: archive a room, open a DM without posting

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-26-rt-chat-qol-design.md (in this PR).

What changed

Store (lib/state/)

  • Adds chat_rooms.archived_at (schema v8) with a conditional ALTER beside the version check
  • Adds archiveRoom and roomArchivedAt; every room-less membership walk skips archived rooms; a post revives the room in its insert transaction

Daemon and client

  • Adds chat:archive and chat:dm-open; chat:rooms takes includeArchived
  • rt-client 0.7.0: chatArchive, chatDmOpen, chatRooms({ includeArchived })

CLI and docs

  • Adds rt chat archive <room> [--reopen], the command-tree entry, and the regenerated reference
  • Skill: archiving is Matt's call; posting into an archived room reopens it

Checklist

  • Appropriate tests have been created or updated
    • store, dm-store, handler, rt-client and CLI suites; bun test lib commands packages scripts green

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds daemon-backed room archiving and reopening, archived-room filtering and revival on posting, direct-message room creation, pane invitations, enhanced chat CLI commands, client APIs, schema migration, tests, and supporting documentation.

Changes

Chat quality-of-life commands

Layer / File(s) Summary
Room archive state and persistence
lib/state/chat-store.ts, lib/state/db.ts, lib/state/index.ts, lib/state/__tests__/*
Rooms store nullable archive timestamps. Archived rooms are excluded from default listings and unread traversals, remain readable by name, and revive when a message is posted. Schema version 8 adds chat_rooms.archived_at.
Daemon archive, DM, and invite handlers
lib/daemon/handlers/chat.ts, lib/daemon/__tests__/chat-handlers.test.ts
The daemon handles archive, DM-open, and invite commands. It supports archived-room listing, validates inputs, checks session ownership, and creates or reuses DM rooms.
Client contracts and wrappers
packages/rt-client/src/commands.ts, packages/rt-client/src/client.ts, packages/rt-client/src/index.ts, packages/rt-client/test/*, packages/rt-client/README.md, packages/rt-client/package.json
The client exposes archive metadata, chat and pane commands, conditional archived-room listing, typed responses, and command-specific timeouts. The package version changes to 0.7.0.
CLI chat commands and command metadata
commands/chat.ts, commands/__tests__/chat.test.ts, lib/command-tree-def.ts
The CLI adds archive, reopen, read --last, and invite operations. It supports JSON output, interactive verb selection for TTY callers, shared socket options, and expanded command metadata.
Chat QoL design and usage documentation
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-26-rt-chat-qol-design.md, skills/rt-chat/SKILL.md, website/docs/reference/chat.mdx
The specification and chat documentation describe archive behavior, DM and invite flows, validation, transcript requirements, and command usage.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 21033

The new archive and reopen commands can allow unauthorized callers to change any room’s archived state because the requested handle is not tied to an authenticated session or configured human identity. This permission flaw should be fixed before merge.

Authorize chat:archive before changing room state.

The payload has no session identity. The supplied createChatHandlers implementation validates handle but then calls archiveRoom(room, archived, db) without using it. Any daemon client can therefore archive or reopen an existing room with an arbitrary handle.

Require a caller session, validate that it owns the handle, and enforce the room-level archive policy before the mutation. Thread the session through the client and CLI APIs.

Fixes from the final whole-branch review:
- lib/state/__tests__/db.test.ts: replace the em dash in the v1->v7
  migration describe title with a colon (the branch's hard constraint
  forbids em/en dashes on added lines, and this title was edited by
  the branch).
- lib/daemon/__tests__/chat-handlers.test.ts: drop a rotting
  "(line 325)" reference from the dm-open reclaimed-sender test
  comment; the test-name anchor stays.
- lib/state/chat-store.ts: add a one-line doc comment above
  roomArchivedAt documenting its tri-state return (archived-at
  timestamp / open null / no-such-room undefined), which archiveRoom's
  existence check depends on.
- lib/state/__tests__/chat-store.test.ts: add a focused test pinning
  that a room-less markRead skips an archived room (routed through
  openMembershipsFor) while an explicit markRead(handle, room) still
  clears an archived room's cursor.

Enforce archive authorization.

Line 384 accepts handle, but Lines 385-389 only validate it. The handler does not bind it to a session or the configured human handle. A caller can archive or reopen any existing room with an arbitrary valid handle, including matt.

Require a session-bound configured-human caller before archiveRoom. Add rejection coverage for a non-human caller.
