Fixes issue where deleting a folder didn't delete its contents by adding options to delete folder with contents or keep items, updating components and event handling accordingly.

  • Behavior:
    • Adds option to delete folder with contents or keep items in FolderCard.tsx.
    • Confirmation dialog in FolderCard.tsx requires selection before enabling delete.
    • deleteFolderWithContents in use-workspace-operations.ts deletes folder and nested items.
  • Components:
    • Updates WorkspaceContent.tsx and WorkspaceGrid.tsx to pass onDeleteFolderWithContents.
    • WorkspaceSection.tsx integrates deleteFolderWithContents operation.
  • Event Handling:
    • event-reducer.ts clears orphaned references on folder deletion.
    • Handles BULK_ITEMS_UPDATED for bulk delete operations.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Folder delete now offers two options: keep contained items or delete the folder with all nested contents (including associated files).
    • Confirmation dialog redesigned with radio choices; Delete is disabled until an option is selected and Cancel resets the selection.
    • Deletion flow respects the chosen option and shows a toast summarizing folder name and number of items removed.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Deletion clears orphaned references when folders are removed and correctly handles nested folder deletions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an optional onDeleteFolderWithContents prop across workspace components, a FolderCard confirmation UI offering Keep/Delete items, a deleteFolderWithContents workspace operation that recursively deletes descendant items (including storage cleanup) then the folder with a toast, and legacy-aware bulk-delete handling in the event reducer. (≤50 words)

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Component prop forwarding
src/components/workspace-canvas/WorkspaceContent.tsx, src/components/workspace-canvas/WorkspaceGrid.tsx, src/components/workspace-canvas/WorkspaceSection.tsx
Adds onDeleteFolderWithContents?: (folderId: string) => void to props and forwards it down the tree to FolderCard.
FolderCard UI & delete flow
src/components/workspace-canvas/FolderCard.tsx
Adds deleteOption state and a confirmation dialog with radio options (Keep items / Delete items). Delete button disabled until an option is chosen. On confirm, calls onDeleteFolderWithContents(folderId) when "Delete items" selected and callback provided; otherwise falls back to onDeleteItem(folderId). Resets option when dialog closes.
Workspace operations: cascading delete
src/hooks/workspace/use-workspace-operations.ts
Adds deleteFolderWithContents(folderId) to public API, implements getAllDescendantIds to collect nested descendants, deletes descendant items (best-effort storage cleanup), performs an atomic bulk update to remove deleted ids, and shows a toast summarizing deletion counts.
Event reducer: bulk items update handling
src/lib/workspace/event-reducer.ts
In BULK_ITEMS_UPDATED, preserves legacy payload.items handling: detects deleted folders, clears folderId on items referencing deleted folders, and returns cleaned items array; retains new layoutUpdates application path.

  • Draft comment:
    In deleteFolderWithContents, items are deleted sequentially. Consider using Promise.all to delete items concurrently for a potential performance improvement, if order isn’t critical.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 30% vs. threshold = 50% This is a code quality refactor suggestion. The rules state "Comments that suggest code quality refactors are good! But only if they are actionable and clear." This comment is actionable (use Promise.all) and clear. However, I need to consider if there's a reason for sequential deletion. Looking at the deleteItem function (lines 216-251), it performs async operations like deleting PDF files from storage. Sequential deletion might be intentional to avoid race conditions or to ensure proper cleanup order. The comment says "if order isn't critical" which shows some uncertainty. Without seeing the full context of whether order matters for deletion (e.g., database constraints, cleanup operations), this could be risky advice. The comment is somewhat speculative with the "if order isn't critical" qualifier. The sequential deletion might be intentional for safety reasons - deleting items one at a time could be necessary to handle errors properly, avoid overwhelming the backend, or ensure proper cleanup of associated resources like PDF files. The comment's "if order isn't critical" qualifier suggests uncertainty, making it somewhat speculative. While there could be valid reasons for sequential deletion, the comment is actionable and clear about the potential improvement. However, the speculative nature ("if order isn't critical") and the fact that we can't see the full implications of concurrent deletion (error handling, backend load, resource cleanup) make this comment less certain. The rules emphasize not making speculative comments. This comment is somewhat speculative with its "if order isn't critical" qualifier, and without full context about whether sequential deletion is intentional for error handling or resource cleanup, we cannot be certain this is the right suggestion. Given the rule against speculative comments and the need for strong evidence, this comment should be deleted.
5. src/hooks/workspace/use-workspace-operations.ts:500
  • Draft comment:
    Consider adding error handling within the loop in deleteFolderWithContents. If deleting one item fails, you may want to log the error and continue with the remaining deletions.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 20% vs. threshold = 50% The comment is suggesting defensive error handling, but it's speculative ("you may want to"). Looking at the deleteItem implementation, it already handles errors internally and doesn't throw. The comment doesn't provide strong evidence that errors would actually be thrown here. Additionally, the comment says "log the error and continue" - but if deleteItem already handles errors internally, this would be redundant. The comment is also somewhat vague - it doesn't specify what kind of errors to catch or what specific action to take beyond "log and continue". This feels like a speculative code quality suggestion without strong evidence that it's needed. I might be missing that mutation.mutate could fail in ways that would throw errors. Also, even if deleteItem handles errors internally, there could be value in tracking which specific items failed to delete and reporting that to the user. The comment could be highlighting a legitimate UX concern. While mutation.mutate could theoretically fail, React Query mutations typically don't throw errors synchronously - they handle errors through the mutation's error state. The deleteItem function already has comprehensive error handling for the most likely failure case (PDF file deletion). The comment is speculative ("you may want to") rather than identifying a definite issue. Without strong evidence that errors would actually be thrown here, this is more of a "nice to have" suggestion rather than a clear bug or issue. This comment is speculative and doesn't provide strong evidence of an actual issue. The deleteItem function already has error handling, and React Query mutations don't typically throw errors that would need to be caught here. The comment violates the rule against speculative comments.

Greptile Summary

Implements user-selectable folder deletion behavior: either keep items by moving them out (existing behavior) or delete the folder with all nested contents. The implementation uses atomic bulk delete via BULK_ITEMS_UPDATED events and includes recursive traversal to handle nested folders. The event reducer properly cleans up orphaned folder references to maintain referential integrity.

Key Changes

  • FolderCard displays radio-button confirmation dialog with two deletion options
  • Delete button disabled until user selects an option
  • deleteFolderWithContents recursively collects all descendant IDs using getAllDescendantIds helper
  • Bulk delete performed atomically through updateAllItems (single BULK_ITEMS_UPDATED event)
  • Event reducer detects deleted folders and clears folderId references on remaining items to prevent orphaned references
  • PDF file cleanup performed as fire-and-forget (best-effort, non-blocking)

Confidence Score: 5/5

  • This PR is safe to merge with no critical issues found
  • The implementation is well-structured with proper atomic operations, recursive handling of nested folders, and cleanup of orphaned references. The code follows existing patterns (bulk delete via updateAllItems), includes appropriate toast notifications, and handles edge cases like PDF file cleanup. No logic errors, race conditions, or data integrity issues detected.
  • No files require special attention

How can I resolve this? If you propose a fix, please make it concise.

- Around line 216-223: The current handler silently falls back to onDeleteItem
when deleteOption === 'delete' but onDeleteFolderWithContents is undefined;
change behavior so we do not contradict user intent: either (A) when rendering
the delete option control (the UI that sets deleteOption) disable or hide the
"Delete items" choice if onDeleteFolderWithContents is falsy, or (B) in the
onConfirmDelete handler (the function using deleteOption, item.id, onDeleteItem,
onDeleteFolderWithContents, setShowDeleteConfirm, setDeleteOption) detect that
deleteOption === 'delete' and onDeleteFolderWithContents is missing and instead
open a warning/confirmation modal or set an error state to inform the user and
stop; do not call onDeleteItem as a silent fallback. Ensure the change
references the deleteOption variable and the
onDeleteFolderWithContents/onDeleteItem callbacks so the code paths are
explicit.

In `@src/components/workspace-canvas/WorkspaceGrid.tsx`:
- Line 536: The memoized children in WorkspaceGrid (the useMemo that builds
FolderCard instances) currently omits onDeleteFolderWithContents from its
dependency array causing stale closures for FolderCard props; update the
dependency array for that useMemo (the variable computing children) to include
onDeleteFolderWithContents so the memo invalidates when the callback reference
changes and FolderCard receives the latest prop.

In `@src/hooks/workspace/use-workspace-operations.ts`:
- Around line 494-496: The deletion only removes direct children by using
currentState.items.filter(item => item.folderId === folderId), which leaves
nested items orphaned; add a recursive helper (e.g., getAllDescendantIds) that
walks currentState.items, collects all descendant ids by recursing into items
where item.type === 'folder', then use that list in deleteFolderWithContents to
delete all descendants plus the folder itself instead of only direct children;
update references to currentState.items, folderId, and any removal logic to use
the collected descendant ids.
- Around line 488-515: deleteFolderWithContents currently awaits deleteItem
calls but deleteItem triggers mutation.mutate (fire-and-forget) and returns
void, so awaiting it does not guarantee deletions complete; change the flow to
either (A) implement and call a new bulk delete event (e.g., emit a single
"delete_folder_with_contents" event handled by the reducer) so folder+contents
are deleted atomically, or (B) modify deleteItem to return a Promise that
resolves when the mutation completes (wrap mutation.mutate callbacks or use
mutation.mutateAsync) and then await each deleteItem sequentially or with
Promise.all; update deleteFolderWithContents to use the chosen approach and
ensure references to deleteItem, deleteFolderWithContents, and
mutation.mutate/mutateAsync are adjusted accordingly so the folder deletion only
fires after item deletions finish.

Looking at this PR, the implementation looks solid overall! You've successfully added the folder deletion functionality with user choice between keeping items vs deleting them. Here are my observations:

What's working well:

  • ✅ Proper recursive deletion logic in getAllDescendantIds
  • ✅ Good UI/UX with radio button choices in the confirmation dialog
  • ✅ Disabled state until user makes a choice
  • ✅ Proper callback propagation through the component hierarchy
  • ✅ Toast notification with item count
  • ✅ Cleanup of delete option state when dialog closes

One potential concern:

The fire-and-forget approach in deleteFolderWithContents could lead to partial failures:

// Delete all descendant items first (fire-and-forget mutations)
for (const itemId of allDescendantIds) {
  deleteItem(itemId);
}
// Then delete the folder itself
deleteItem(folderId);

If some of these delete operations fail, you could end up in an inconsistent state. Consider either:

  1. Sequential deletion - Wait for each deletion to complete before proceeding
  2. Batch deletion - Create a single API endpoint that handles the entire operation atomically
  3. Better error handling - Track which deletions succeed/fail and provide appropriate feedback

But honestly, for the scope of this bugfix, the current implementation is probably fine. The optimistic updates will make it feel responsive, and partial failures are likely rare in practice.

Verdict: This looks good to ship! The core functionality is solid and the user experience is well thought out. You can always iterate on the error handling later if needed.

Use updateAllItems (single BULK_ITEMS_UPDATED event) instead of
multiple deleteItem calls, matching the existing bulk delete pattern.
PDF file cleanup is done fire-and-forget before the atomic state update.
When BULK_ITEMS_UPDATED removes folders, clear folderId on any
remaining items that pointed to the deleted folders. This prevents
orphaned items that would be invisible in the UI.

Fixes pre-existing bug in handleBulkDelete and ensures all bulk
update operations properly handle folder deletion.

The logic is only 9 lines and relatively straightforward. 2) There IS similar logic in ITEM_DELETED case (lines 48-51), so there could be an argument for DRY. 3) The comment mentions "improved readability and testability" but the current code is already quite readable with good comments. 4) This is a relatively minor suggestion that the author could reasonably disagree with. The rules say to be humble and err on the side of caution, but also that I should see STRONG EVIDENCE the comment is correct to keep it. While the suggestion is actionable and clear, it's a subjective code quality opinion. The current implementation is already well-commented and readable. The logic is only used in this one place (the similar logic in ITEM_DELETED is different enough that extraction might not help). Without strong evidence this refactoring is necessary, this might be an "unimportant" comment per the rules. The comment is actionable and clear, which the rules say is good for refactoring suggestions. However, there's a similar pattern at lines 48-51 in ITEM_DELETED that also clears folderId from orphaned items, suggesting potential code duplication. Still, the benefit is marginal and this is a minor suggestion that doesn't clearly improve the code significantly. This is a minor, subjective refactoring suggestion. While actionable and clear, it's not obviously important or necessary. The code is already readable and well-commented. Without strong evidence this refactoring would significantly improve the codebase, this falls into the category of "unimportant" comments that should be removed.

  • Draft comment:
    The mapping uses 'item.folderId' in a truthy check. If folderId can be falsy (like 0), consider an explicit null/undefined check.

  • Draft comment:
    The updated BULK_ITEMS_UPDATED branch now correctly handles full item array updates. Ensure that test cases cover scenarios where folders are deleted and items optionally kept or discarded as required by deletion options.

<violation number="1" location="src/hooks/workspace/use-workspace-operations.ts:538">
P1: remainingItems is computed from currentState, which the hook already documents as potentially stale. Passing a stale list into updateAllItems can drop or resurrect items that were added/removed by optimistic updates outside this folder. Build remainingItems from the latest cached state (same pattern used in updateAllItems) before filtering out idsToDelete.</violation>

@greptile check now

Use the same cache-reading pattern as updateAllItems to avoid
stale data issues. currentState prop can be stale when optimistic
updates are pending, so we read from React Query cache instead.

1. src/hooks/workspace/use-workspace-operations.ts:510
  • Draft comment:
    Good use of queryClient to fetch the latest state and avoid stale data. The fallback to currentState.items is acceptable, but consider logging when cacheData is absent.

2. src/hooks/workspace/use-workspace-operations.ts:532
  • Draft comment:
    Consistently using 'latestItems' (for folder lookup, descendant retrieval, PDF deletion, and filtering remaining items) is a clear improvement.

3. src/hooks/workspace/use-workspace-operations.ts:566
  • Draft comment:
    Including 'workspaceId' and 'queryClient' in the dependency array is appropriate to ensure the callback reflects the latest context.

4. src/hooks/workspace/use-workspace-operations.ts:561
  • Draft comment:
    The text on this line appears to be incomplete: "folder " looks like it might be missing a closing quote or additional context for the toast message. Please verify if this is intentional or if more text should be added.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment was not on a location in the diff, so it can't be submitted as a review comment.
