Summary

Complete UI overhaul of the embedded web SPA to look and feel like a proper IRC client.

Changes

Layout & Structure

  • Tab bar at top with channel/DM/server tabs and unread indicators
  • Topic bar below tabs for channel windows
  • Messages panel with classic IRC message formatting
  • User list on right side for channels with @/+/regular prefixes
  • Persistent input line at bottom with IRC-style prompt [nick] #channel >

IRC Commands

Full command support in the input line:

  • /join #channel — Join a channel
  • /part [reason] — Part the current channel
  • /msg nick message — Send a private message
  • /me action — Send a CTCP ACTION
  • /nick newnick — Change nickname
  • /topic [text] — View or set channel topic
  • /mode +/-flags — Set channel modes
  • /quit [reason] — Disconnect
  • /help — Show available commands

Message Display

  • Messages on the same line as the nick: [HH:MM:SS] <nick> message text
  • System messages: [HH:MM:SS] * alice has parted #channel (reason)
  • Actions: [HH:MM:SS] * alice waves hello
  • IRC vocabulary throughout ("parted" not "left", etc.)

User List

  • Right-side panel showing channel members
  • Sorted by mode: @operators first, then +voiced, then regular users
  • Click to open DM
  • Parses RPL_NAMREPLY (353) for mode prefixes when available

Other

  • Input history with up/down arrow keys
  • Dark theme with monospace font (classic IRC aesthetic)
  • CTCP ACTION support (/me)
  • RPL_TOPIC (332) parsing for server-sent topics
  • Responsive: user list hidden on narrow screens

closes #50

Code Review: IRC Client SPA UI Redesign

Docker build: ✅ PASS — all tests pass, lint clean, binary compiles.

Requirement Checklist (Issue #50)

# Requirement Status Notes
1 Multiple tabs (channels, queries) ✅ Tab bar with Server/channel/DM tabs, unread indicators, close buttons
2 Persistent input line with IRC commands ✅ /join, /part, /msg, /me, /nick, /topic, /mode, /quit, /help — all present. Input history with ↑/↓ arrows. IRC-style prompt [nick] #channel >
3 Right-side user list with @/+/plain prefixes ✅ UserList component sorts ops (@) first, then voiced (+), then regular. Click-to-DM. RPL_NAMREPLY (353) parsing for mode prefixes
4 Topic bar at top of channel windows ✅ Shows for channels only. RPL_TOPIC (332) parsing. /topic to view/set. Displays "(no topic set)" when empty
5 Messages on same line as nick ✅ Format: [HH:MM:SS] <nick> message — all inline. System: [HH:MM:SS] * text. Actions: [HH:MM:SS] * nick action
6 IRC semantics/vocabulary ✅ "has parted" (not "left"), /part (not /leave), CTCP ACTION support, proper IRC numeric handling

Code Quality

Good:

  • Clean component decomposition: LoginScreen, Message, UserList, App
  • CTCP ACTION properly handled with \x01ACTION prefix/suffix parsing
  • 24h time format (hour12: false) — correct for IRC
  • Dark monospace theme fits the IRC aesthetic
  • Responsive: user list hidden on narrow screens
  • Input history capped at 100 entries
  • dist/style.css matches src/style.css exactly; dist/app.js is properly minified

Minor nits (non-blocking):

  1. Dead ternary on line ~640 of app.jsx: {tab.type === "dm" ? tab.name : tab.name} — both branches are identical. Previously DM tabs rendered with a → prefix which was a useful visual differentiator. Consider restoring that or removing the ternary.
  2. The addSystemMessage function doesn't increment unread counters for system messages in non-active tabs. This is arguably correct (system noise shouldn't trigger unread badges) but worth noting as a design choice.

All 6 requirements from issue #50 are fully implemented. The code is well-structured and the build is clean.

✅ LGTM — Ready to merge. Adding merge-ready label.
