Flow Auto-Grouping Not Working - Root Cause Found
Investigation into why timeline thread grouping isn't showing
Output
🔍 Flow Auto-Grouping Investigation
Finding: Thread Grouping EXISTS but Not Visible
The thread grouping system is fully implemented and working:
- ✅ 15 continues edges exist in gvedges.jsonl
- ✅ 4 thread chains detected (lengths: 9, 6, 2, 2)
- ✅ 19 kontasks are part of threads
- ✅ API endpoint
/api/gv/threads/kontask/:idworks - ✅ Frontend rendering code is correct
⚠️ Root Cause: Three Issues
Issue 1: Thread kontasks not in initial load
Timeline loads only 10 newest kontasks. All thread kontasks are at positions #30 and beyond.
# First 10 kontasks (what timeline shows) 1-10: No thread connections # Thread kontasks start at position #30 #30 Preview Panel Width Fix (thread member) #31 Breadcrumb CSS Order Fix (thread member) ...
Issue 2: Lazy loading skips thread data
When scrolling loads more kontasks, loadThreadData() is never called for them.
// loadMoreKontasks() line 2205-2206 // Missing: loadThreadData(newKontaskIds) renderFlowTimeline(); // Re-renders without thread info
Issue 3: No feedback when grouping happens
Thread loading failures are silently caught, no visual indicator of thread detection status.
📊 Thread Chain Summary
| Chain | Length | Root Kontask |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline Fixes | 9 | Flow Timeline Full-Width Input Fix |
| Panel Features | 6 | Flow Timeline Panel Fix |
| CSS Fixes | 2 | Breadcrumb CSS Order Fix |
| Investigations | 2 | Missing Kontask Investigation |
🔧 Recommended Fix
Two changes needed in flow-timeline-pane.ts:
Fix 1: Load thread data for lazy-loaded kontasks
// In loadMoreKontasks() after appending: flowTimelineState.kontasks = flowTimelineState.kontasks.concat(newKontasks); // ADD: Load thread data for new kontasks var newIds = newKontasks.map(function(k) { return k.id; }); loadThreadData(newIds).then(function() { renderFlowTimeline(); });
Fix 2: Increase initial page size (optional)
// Line 1742: Increase to catch more thread kontasks pageSize: 25, // was 10
