fix(web): show remote environment for non-Git projects

[t3dotgg]

Non-Git projects hid the entire composer context strip, so a thread running on a remote machine gave no indication which machine it was using.

Keep the strip visible whenever the environment indicator is relevant, while hiding only the workspace and branch controls that require Git. This preserves the existing compact behavior for single local environments.

Tests: vp test run apps/web/src/components/BranchToolbar.logic.test.ts; vp run --filter ./apps/web typecheck; targeted vp lint.

Made with GPT-5.6-Sol in the Codex harness.

Note

Low Risk
Targeted composer toolbar visibility logic with unit tests; no auth, data, or API changes.

Overview
Non-Git projects no longer hide the whole composer context strip when a thread runs on a remote machine. Visibility is driven by shouldShowComposerContextStrip: the strip appears when there is an active project and either the repo is Git or the environment indicator should show (e.g. sole remote / multi-environment).

ChatView wires that helper with shouldShowEnvironmentIndicator on the active thread’s environment, and passes showGitControls={isGitRepo} into BranchToolbar. Workspace mode, branch picker, and the mobile combined Git menu render only when Git controls apply; environment-only layouts keep the environment selector without the vertical separator or Git chrome.

Note

Show remote environment indicator in composer toolbar for non-Git projects

• Adds shouldShowComposerContextStrip in BranchToolbar.logic.ts that returns true when an active project exists and either the repo is Git or an environment indicator should be shown.
• Updates ChatView.tsx to derive showComposerEnvironmentIndicator from the active thread's environment and passes showGitControls={isGitRepo} to BranchToolbar.
• Adds a showGitControls prop to BranchToolbar.tsx that gates rendering of the branch selector, env mode selector, and mobile run context selector.
• Behavioral Change: non-Git projects now render the composer context strip when an environment indicator is present, where previously they did not.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved 9b23b02

This is a straightforward UI visibility fix allowing non-Git projects to show environment indicators in the toolbar. The changes are limited to simple display logic with comprehensive unit tests, and don't affect security or significant runtime behavior.
