What broke

swarmWaveTitle hardcoded Swarm <short id>, so the name typed in the create
flow was invisible everywhere after setup. It reached the swarm row and was only
ever read back as an id — which is what put Swarm 58849bf8 on the card instead
of what the author called it.

Changes

  • SwarmOverviewRun.swarmName, optional, mirroring the backend DTO.
  • swarmWaveTitle prefers the authored name and keeps the short id as the
    fallback, for runs launched outside a swarm and for backends that don't send
    the field yet. This fixes the title in both the Overview list and the Swarm Run
    detail page, since both call the same helper.
  • The create flow stamps its launch wave id on the swarm it writes. Without that
    the backend can only resolve a name through each journey's authoring swarm,
    which names a REUSED journey's original swarm rather than the one being
    launched.

Deploy order

Pairs with MCPJam/mcpjam-backend#1179, which should deploy first. The field is
optional, so merging this alone is harmless — wave titles just stay id-based
until the backend lands.

Verification

  • npm run typecheck — exit 0
  • npm run typecheck:client -w @mcpjam/inspector — exit 0 (includes the
    check:renderer-tier-b guard)
  • npm run build:inspector — exit 0
  • npx vitest run client/src/components/swarms — 371/371 across 33 files
  • npm run test -w @mcpjam/inspector — 19280 passed

The 17 failures in that last run are all inherited: 6 are in CLAUDE.md's
known-failing list, and the other 11 (ws-native-fallback ×8,
local-runtime-skills ×3) reproduce identically on a clean checkout with these
changes stashed. docs:check-tokens and design-system tokens-parity fail
locally on CRLF in files this branch doesn't touch; both are green on CI at the
base commit.

Four new tests: the authored title, the short-id fallback, a mixed legacy wave,
and the create flow stamping the wave id its runs carry.

Known limitation

Swarms created before the create flow had a name step hold their description
prompt, truncated to 120 characters, in swarms.name. Their waves will now show
that text instead of an id, and there is no rename UI to correct them.


Summary by cubic

Shows a swarm's own authored name as its Overview title instead of the hardcoded Swarm <short id>, keeping the id as a fallback.

  • swarmWaveTitle now prefers the new optional swarmName field on SwarmOverviewRun; runs launched outside a swarm or on older backends still get the short-id title.
  • The create flow stamps its launch wave id on the swarm it writes, so the backend resolves the launched swarm's name rather than a reused journey's original swarm's.
  • Needs the matching backend change deployed to take effect; until then all waves keep their current id-based titles.
  • Swarms created before the name step existed store their truncated description prompt in swarms.name, so those waves will now show that text instead of an id, with no rename UI to correct them.

Written for commit b4fcd85. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

`swarmWaveTitle` hardcoded `Swarm <short id>`, so the name typed in the
create flow was invisible everywhere after setup. It reached the swarm
row and was only ever read back as an id, which is what put
`Swarm 58849bf8` on the card instead of what the author called it.

The title now prefers the authored name, keeping the short id as the
fallback for runs launched outside a swarm and for backends that do not
send the field yet. The create flow also stamps its launch wave id on
the swarm it writes: without that the backend can only resolve a name
through each journey's authoring swarm, which names a reused journey's
ORIGINAL swarm rather than the one being launched.

Needs the matching mcpjam-backend change deployed to have any effect.
Until then every wave keeps its current id-based title.

Swarms created before the name step existed hold their description
prompt truncated to 120 chars in `swarms.name`, so their waves will now
show that text. There is no rename UI to correct them.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change links persisted swarms to the swarmRunGroupId used by their launched runs. It adds optional swarmName data to SwarmOverviewRun. Swarm wave titles now use an authored swarm name when available and otherwise use the short route ID. Tests cover wave ID propagation and named, unnamed, and mixed waves.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b4fcd

This change makes swarm overview titles use authored names and associates launches with the swarm being created. A newest unnamed run can still display a stale older name, while persistence or backend-version failures may leave runs without the intended named association; the change is mergeable with explicit follow-up and backend-first rollout.

1201-1204: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial

Deploy the backend schema before this client.

If swarms:createSwarm does not accept swarmRunGroupId, onCreateSwarm can fail and the catch still launches runs without a swarm row. This loses the authored swarm title and can make reused journeys fall back to another authoring swarm. Use the existing backend-first release gate or add backward-compatible field handling.

Add failure-path coverage for wave provenance.

This test covers only a successful two-run launch. Add cases for createSwarm rejection, partial launch followed by retry, and the applicable absent or empty optional-field behavior. Assert that retries do not mint a second wave ID and that launches retain the intended provenance when swarm creation fails.

As per coding guidelines, inspector changes must include happy-path, validation-error, error-handling, and null/empty edge-case tests.

Use the newest run for the wave title. swarmName is optional, and grouped runs preserve newest-first order. If the newest run is unnamed while an older run is named, find displays the older name. It also preserves whitespace-only names. Read wave.runs[0]?.swarmName?.trim() and use the short-ID fallback when the result is empty. Add regression tests for unnamed, blank, and whitespace-only newest names.

Manually verified end to end against a dev deployment with the backend PR deployed.

  • Swarm with newly authored goals: wave titled with the name from setup.
  • Swarm built from reused goals (the case that motivated the wave-id lookup): also titled with the new swarm's name, not the swarm those goals were authored in.
  • Pre-name-step swarms: still show their stored description text, as described under Known limitation.
