+# Chat Citations & Sources Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Give `@threadplane/chat` a prod-ready, cohesive, extensible visual + interaction treatment for inline citation markers, an on-demand provenance preview card, and a redesigned collapsible Sources panel.
+
+**Architecture:** Six small units — pure display helpers (`citation-display.ts`), a new presentational `ChatCitationPreviewComponent`, a rewritten inline-marker component that pill-styles + portals the preview via the existing `chatConnectedOverlay` primitive, an updated detail-card and collapsible panel, plus new `--tplane-chat-citation-*` tokens and a `chat-citations.styles.ts` style module. Everything is token-driven (light/dark for free), browser-safe (no third-party favicon fetches), and accessible.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Angular (standalone, signals, OnPush), Vitest + `@angular/core/testing` TestBed, Nx (`npx nx test chat`), the lib's `*.styles.ts` string-constant styling pattern and `chatConnectedOverlay` body-portal primitive.
+
+**Design spec:** [docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-06-chat-citations-sources-design.md](../specs/2026-07-06-chat-citations-sources-design.md)
+
+---
+
+## File Structure
+
+**Create:**
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/agent/citation-display.ts` — pure, DOM-free display helpers over `Citation`.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/agent/citation-display.spec.ts` — helper unit tests.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/styles/chat-citations.styles.ts` — marker + preview + panel CSS string consts.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citation-preview.component.ts` — presentational preview card.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citation-preview.component.spec.ts` — preview tests.
+
+**Modify:**
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/agent/citation.ts` — add 3 optional fields.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/styles/chat-tokens.ts` — add `--tplane-chat-citation-*` tokens (light/dark) + radius.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/styles/chat-tokens.spec.ts` — assert new tokens present.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/markdown/views/markdown-citation-reference.component.ts` — pill + overlay preview + states + a11y.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/markdown/views/markdown-citation-reference.component.spec.ts` — update state assertions.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citations-card.component.ts` — detail-card layout.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citations.component.ts` — collapsible header + favicon stack.
+- `libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citations.component.spec.ts` — collapse test.
+- `libs/chat/src/public-api.ts` — export `ChatCitationPreviewComponent`.
+
+**Note on test command:** `npx nx test chat` runs the whole lib suite (fast). To narrow while iterating, append `-- -t "<describe or it name>"`.
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Extend the `Citation` type
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `libs/chat/src/lib/agent/citation.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add three optional fields to the interface**
+
+Open `libs/chat/src/lib/agent/citation.ts` and replace the interface body's closing so it reads:
+
+```ts
+export interface Citation {
+  /** Stable id used to match `[^id]` markers in Pandoc-formatted content. */
+  id: string;
+  /** 1-based display order. Stable per-message. */
+  index: number;
+  title?: string;
+  url?: string;
+  snippet?: string;
+  /** Provider-specific extras (retrieval score, source type, etc.). */
+  extra?: Record<string, unknown>;
+
+  /**
+   * Source classification driving the type badge. Free-form and extensible:
+   * 'web' (default-inferred from an http(s) url) | 'file' | 'app' | 'memory'
+   * | any custom string. Optional — display derives 'web' from the url when absent.
+   */
+  sourceType?: string;
+  /**
+   * Provider-supplied favicon/logo (absolute URL or `data:` URI). NEVER
+   * auto-fetched by the library — supply this from your own resolver if you
+   * want real favicons; otherwise a monogram is rendered.

+## Task 6: Rewrite inline marker — pill + overlay preview + states + a11y
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `libs/chat/src/lib/markdown/views/markdown-citation-reference.component.ts`
+- Modify: `libs/chat/src/lib/markdown/views/markdown-citation-reference.component.spec.ts`
+
+Behavior: resolved+URL → `<a>` pill (click navigates on desktop; taps preview on touch). Resolved no-URL → `<a role="button">` pill (no href; toggles preview). Unresolved → non-interactive muted dashed `<span>`. Preview opens on hover (120ms) / focus / tap, closes on leave (200ms) / blur / Escape / outside / Tab, and stays open while the pointer is over the portaled card.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Replace the marker spec to assert the new state markup**
+

+## Task 8: Collapsible header + favicon stack on `ChatCitationsComponent`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citations.component.ts`
+- Modify: `libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citations.component.spec.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add a collapse test (append to existing spec)**
+
+In `libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citations.component.spec.ts`, add these two tests inside the existing `describe('ChatCitationsComponent', () => { ... })` block (before its closing `});`):
+
+```ts
+  it('shows a Sources header with the citation count', () => {
+    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(HostComponent);
+    fixture.componentInstance.message.set(msg([
+      { id: 'a', index: 1, title: 'A' },
+      { id: 'b', index: 2, title: 'B' },
+    ]));
+    fixture.detectChanges();
+    expect(fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('.chat-citations__heading')?.textContent).toContain('Sources');
+    expect(fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('.chat-citations__count')?.textContent?.trim()).toBe('2');
+  });
+
+  it('collapses and expands the list when the header is toggled', () => {
+    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(HostComponent);
+    fixture.componentInstance.message.set(msg([{ id: 'a', index: 1, title: 'A' }]));
+    fixture.detectChanges();
+    const header = fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('.chat-citations__header') as HTMLButtonElement;
+    expect(header.getAttribute('aria-expanded')).toBe('true');
+    expect(fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('.chat-citations__list')).toBeTruthy();
+
+    header.click();
+    fixture.detectChanges();
+    expect(header.getAttribute('aria-expanded')).toBe('false');
+    expect(fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('.chat-citations__list')).toBeNull();
+  });
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `npx nx test chat -- -t "collapses and expands"`
+Expected: FAIL — no `.chat-citations__header`/`__count` in current markup.

+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
+

+
+---
+
+## Task 9: Export the preview component, regenerate API docs, build
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `libs/chat/src/public-api.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Export `ChatCitationPreviewComponent`**
+
+In `libs/chat/src/public-api.ts`, find the existing citations export (search for `chat-citations.component` or `ChatCitationsComponent`) and add, adjacent to it:
+
+```ts
+export { ChatCitationPreviewComponent } from './lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citation-preview.component';
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the full chat test suite**
+
+Run: `npx nx test chat`
+Expected: PASS (all suites green).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Lint the lib and confirm no new errors**
+
+Run: `npx nx lint chat 2>&1 | grep -cE ' error '`
+Expected: `0` (warnings are tolerated; errors are not). If nonzero, read the errors and fix — the overlay aliasing pattern already carries the documented `eslint-disable` header in `connected-overlay.directive.ts`; mirror it only if you added new aliased inputs (you did not).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Build the lib**
+
+Run: `npx nx build chat`
+Expected: build succeeds.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Regenerate API docs (new public export + Citation fields)**
+
+Run: `npm run generate-api-docs`
+Expected: updates generated API docs to include `ChatCitationPreviewComponent` and the new `Citation` fields.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+Run `git status` first to see where `generate-api-docs` wrote (path varies by repo config — often a generated api-docs directory). Stage the public-api change plus whatever the regen touched:
+
+```bash
+git status                                   # inspect regenerated files
+git add libs/chat/src/public-api.ts
+git add <regenerated-api-docs-paths>         # from the git status output
+git commit -m "feat(chat): export ChatCitationPreviewComponent + regen api docs"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 10: Live verification in `examples/chat`
+
+The overlay preview (portaling, pointer-type branch, hover keepalive, `:host()` encapsulation) cannot be fully proven under jsdom/aimock replay — it needs a real browser. Verify manually.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Serve the chat example with a real key**
+
+Export only `OPENAI_API_KEY` (do NOT source the whole root `.env` — that sets `AG_UI_INTERNAL_TOKEN` and flips server auth on), then serve:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+npx nx serve examples-chat
+```
+
+(If the exact serve target name differs, run `npx nx show projects | grep chat` and use the `examples`/`chat` app target.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Drive the sources prompt in the browser**
+
+In the running app, send: **"Show me a markdown table comparing Angular signals, RxJS, and zone.js — three columns: name, mental model, when to use. Keep it concise."** (or any prompt whose agent returns citations).
+
+Verify visually:
+- Inline markers render as **numbered pills** (baseline-aligned, accent tint on hover), including inside table cells and when adjacent (grouped).
+- **Hover** a pill (desktop) → the preview card appears anchored under it; moving into the card keeps it open; leaving closes it after a beat. **Keyboard focus** (Tab to a pill) also opens it; **Escape** closes.
+- **Click** a pill with a url opens the source in a new tab.
+- The **Sources panel** shows the collapsible "Sources · N" header with stacked favicons/monograms; toggling collapses/expands; each detail card opens its source.
+- Toggle OS dark mode (or `data-theme="dark"`) → tokens flip; markers/cards/preview remain legible with adequate contrast.
+- Narrow the viewport to mobile width → **tap** a pill previews (no surprise navigation); the card's "Open source" navigates.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Confirm no console errors**
+
+Check the browser console: no Angular errors/warnings from the citation components during render or interaction.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Final commit (if the example needed any wiring)**
+
+If `examples/chat` required no changes, there is nothing to commit — the feature lives entirely in the lib. If a demo message/fixture was added to showcase citations, commit it:
+
+```bash
+git add examples/
+git commit -m "chore(examples): showcase citation sources in chat example"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Self-Review Notes (author)
+
+- **Spec coverage:** markers (T6) · preview card (T5) · sources panel (T8) · detail cards (T7) · tokens (T3) · styles (T4) · helpers/derivation (T2) · Citation model extension (T1) · a11y (T5–T8 aria + T6 keyboard) · no-auto-favicon (T2 `iconUrl`-only + monogram) · pointer-adaptive interaction (T6) · api-docs/build/lint gate (T9) · live browser + mobile + dark verification (T10). All spec sections map to a task.
+- **No placeholders:** every code/step is complete and copy-pasteable.
+- **Type/name consistency:** helper names (`deriveDomain`/`deriveSourceType`/`deriveMonogram`/`monogramHue`/`formatPublished`), class names (`chat-citation-marker`, `chat-citations-card__*`, `chat-citation-preview__*`, `chat-citations__*`), `Citation` fields (`sourceType`/`iconUrl`/`publishedAt`), and the overlay wiring (`chatOverlayOrigin`/`chatOverlayOpen`/`chatOverlayPositions`/`chatOverlayPanelClass` + `chatOverlayAttached`/`chatOverlayOutsideClick`/`chatOverlayDetach`) are used identically across tasks.

+# Chat Citations & Sources — Visual & Interaction Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-06
+**Library:** `@threadplane/chat` (`libs/chat`)
+**Status:** Design approved, ready for implementation plan
+
+## Problem
+
+The citation/sources infrastructure in `@threadplane/chat` is fully built structurally
+but has **zero visual treatment**. Inline citation markers render as raw
+`<sup>[1]</sup>` (browser-default), and the Sources panel is an unstyled `<ul>` of
+unstyled cards. This is not prod-ready: markers don't read as affordances, there is no
+provenance-inspection interaction, and nothing is cohesive or extensible.
+
+This design treats citations as an **end-to-end provenance/trust/navigation system**
+(per the ChatGPT reference model), scoped to what our data model supports today plus
+clean extension points — not a decorative link list.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Inline markers that read as **distinct-but-quiet** affordances, focusable and grouped.
+- A **lightweight-by-default, deep-on-demand** interaction: hover/tap reveals a
+  provenance **preview card**.
+- A redesigned, **collapsible Sources panel** that scales from 2 to 20+ sources and
+  shares one visual language with the preview card.
+- Everything driven by new `--tplane-chat-citation-*` **design tokens** (light/dark for
+  free), browser-safe, no third-party network calls.
+- Full **accessibility** (keyboard, screen reader, contrast, reduced-motion) and
+  **mobile parity** (tap replaces hover).
+
+## Non-Goals (YAGNI)
+
+- **No "cited vs. other relevant links" split** — every entry in `citations[]` is cited.
+- **No hardcoded source-type taxonomy** — source type is an optional, extensible slot.
+- **No auto-fetched favicons** — privacy/CSP hazard (see Decision 1).
+- **No click-to-scroll marker↔panel sync** — the panel-entry anchor exists as an
+  extension point but scroll-sync is deferred.
+
+## Approved Visual Decisions
+
+Validated interactively via mockups (see `.superpowers/brainstorm/`):
+
+| Piece | Decision |
+| --- | --- |
+| Inline marker | **Numbered pill** — small rounded chip on the baseline (`1`), accent tint + border on hover. Groups as adjacent pills (`1` `2`). |
+| Preview card | **Explicit-action + freshness** layout — favicon/monogram + domain + source-type header, title, snippet, footer with **"Open source"** action and a date/freshness slot. |
+| Sources panel | **Detail cards** under a collapsible **"Sources · N"** header (stacked-favicon preview + chevron). Each card: index, favicon/monogram, domain, source-type, title, one-line snippet. |
+
+## Key Decisions (non-visual)
+
+### Decision 1 — Favicons: never auto-fetch
+Rendering a favicon by hitting a third-party service (e.g. `google.com/s2/favicons`)
+leaks citation URLs to that service and commonly violates enterprise **CSP**. Instead:
+
+1. If the provider supplies an icon (`Citation.iconUrl`, may be a `data:` URI), render it.
+2. Otherwise render a **monogram** — the domain's first letter on a deterministic
+   color derived from the domain string (stable per-source, no network).
+
+Consumers who want real favicons can pass `iconUrl` from their own resolver. This keeps
+the library browser-safe (consistent with the "no leaking metadata / browser-safe"
+constraints already in place).
+
+### Decision 2 — Domain & source-type are derived, not required
+- **Domain/publisher**: `new URL(url).hostname` with a leading `www.` stripped. Purely
+  local. When there is no URL, the domain line is omitted.
+- **Source type**: defaults to inferring `'web'` from an `http(s)` URL. A badge/glyph
+  renders from an optional `Citation.sourceType` string (open string, not an enum — so
+  `'file'`, `'app'`, `'memory'`, or custom slot in without a code change).
+
+### Decision 3 — Interaction adapts to pointer type
+Branch on `matchMedia('(hover: hover) and (pointer: fine)')`:
+
+- **Desktop (hover/fine):** hover **or keyboard focus** → preview card appears anchored
+  to the marker. **Click navigates** to the source directly (new tab). The card also
+  carries an explicit "Open source" control.
+- **Touch (hover: none):** **tap → preview card** (never a surprise navigation). The
+  card's "Open source" performs the navigation.
+
+This matches the reference's "hover is desktop-first, tap-equivalent on touch" and its
+"clear distinction between previewing and opening."
+
+### Decision 4 — Panel default state: collapsed
+The Sources panel renders **collapsed** by default — the `Sources · N` header (with its
+stacked-favicon preview) keeps provenance discoverable without spending vertical space in
+the message flow; the user expands it on demand. State is component-local, not persisted.
+
+### Decision 5 — Marker states (graceful degradation)
+The existing three resolver states map to three visual states:
+
+| State | Markup | Behavior |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **Resolved + URL** | `<a>` pill | hover/focus → preview; click opens source. |
+| **Resolved, no URL** | `<button>` pill | hover/focus/tap → preview (title/snippet only, **no** "Open source" footer). |
+| **Unresolved** | muted/dashed `<span>` pill, non-interactive | native `title="No source available"`; not focusable (nothing to do). |
+
+## Data Model
+
+`Citation` (`libs/chat/src/lib/agent/citation.ts`) gains **optional, backward-compatible**
+typed fields (all optional → non-breaking; requires `npm run generate-api-docs`):
+
+```ts
+export interface Citation {
+  id: string;
+  index: number;          // 1-based display order (existing)
+  title?: string;         // existing
+  url?: string;           // existing
+  snippet?: string;       // existing
+  extra?: Record<string, unknown>;  // existing
+
+  // NEW — all optional, all derivable-with-fallback:
+  sourceType?: string;    // 'web' (default-inferred) | 'file' | 'app' | 'memory' | custom
+  iconUrl?: string;       // provider-supplied favicon/logo (may be data: URI); no auto-fetch
+  publishedAt?: string | number | Date;  // freshness slot for the card footer
+}
+```
+
+Nothing becomes required; existing providers/bridges (`bridge-citations-state.ts`) keep
+working untouched. Derivation helpers fill display gaps.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Small, isolated, independently testable units:
+
+### 1. `citation-display.ts` (new, pure helpers)
+No Angular, no DOM, fully unit-testable:
+- `deriveDomain(url?): string | null` — hostname minus `www.`.
+- `deriveSourceType(c: Citation): string` — `c.sourceType` ?? infer `'web'` from URL.
+- `deriveMonogram(c: Citation): string` — first letter of domain/title, uppercased.
+- `monogramHue(seed: string): number` — deterministic hash → hue for the monogram chip.
+- `formatPublished(v): string | null` — freshness label; null when absent/invalid.
+
+### 2. `MarkdownCitationReferenceComponent` (updated)
+`libs/chat/src/lib/markdown/views/markdown-citation-reference.component.ts`
+- Renders the **pill** (replaces `<sup>[n]</sup>`) in the three states above.
+- Is the overlay **origin** (`chatOverlayOrigin`) and hosts an
+  `<ng-template chatConnectedOverlay>` wrapping `<chat-citation-preview>`.
+- Owns local `open` state; opens on hover(120ms)/focus (desktop) or tap (touch);
+  closes on leave(≈200ms grace)/blur/Escape/outside-click/Tab (wires **both**
+  `(chatOverlayOutsideClick)` and `(chatOverlayDetach)` per the directive contract).
+- A11y: resolved+URL is an `<a aria-label="Source {index}: {title} ({domain}),
+  opens in new tab">`; the preview is supplementary (its data is in the label + the
+  accessible panel below), so no focus trap and no interactive-in-tooltip problem.
+
+### 3. `ChatCitationPreviewComponent` (new, presentational)
+`libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citation-preview.component.ts`
+- Input: `citation: Citation`. Renders favicon/monogram, domain, source-type, title,
+  snippet, footer ("Open source" + freshness). "Open source" hidden when no URL.
+- **Self-contained encapsulated styles** — applies correctly when portaled into the
+  body-level overlay pane (moved nodes keep their `_ngcontent` attributes; same pattern
+  as `chat-select`'s portaled menu). `panelClass` (`chat-citation-preview-pane`) is used
+  only for pane-level concerns.
+
+### 4. `ChatCitationsComponent` (updated)
+`libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citations.component.ts`
+- Collapsible header: **"Sources"** label, count badge, stacked-favicon preview,
+  chevron. `expanded` signal (default `true`); header is a `<button aria-expanded>`
+  controlling the list region.
+- List of `ChatCitationsCardComponent` unchanged in wiring (custom-template override via
+  `ChatCitationCardTemplateDirective` preserved).
+
+### 5. `ChatCitationsCardComponent` (updated)
+`libs/chat/src/lib/primitives/chat-citations/chat-citations-card.component.ts`
+- Detail-card layout: index badge, favicon/monogram + domain + source-type row, title
+  (links out when URL present), one-line snippet clamp. Whole card opens the source.
+
+### 6. Tokens & styles
+- **`chat-tokens.ts`**: add a `--tplane-chat-citation-*` group (light + dark), e.g.
+  `--tplane-chat-citation-accent`, `--tplane-chat-citation-accent-soft`,
+  `--tplane-chat-citation-marker-bg`, `--tplane-chat-citation-marker-border`,
+  `--tplane-chat-citation-marker-fg`, `--tplane-chat-citation-radius`. Defaults derive
+  from existing surfaces/`--a2ui-primary`; consumers override via `:root`.
+- **`chat-citations.styles.ts`** (new): exported string consts —
+  `CHAT_CITATION_MARKER_STYLES`, `CHAT_CITATION_PREVIEW_STYLES`,
+  `CHAT_CITATIONS_PANEL_STYLES` — imported into the respective components'
+  `styles: [CHAT_HOST_TOKENS, …]` arrays (established pattern).
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- Markers keyboard-focusable; hover-only info also available on focus (desktop) and tap
+  (touch). Preview never traps focus.
+- Marker `aria-label` fully describes the source; source-type conveyed by text/glyph,
+  **not color alone**.
+- Panel header is a real `<button aria-expanded>` toggling an identified region.
+- Contrast meets WCAG AA in both themes (token choices verified against surfaces).
+- Motion (card fade/scale) respects `prefers-reduced-motion` via existing infra.
+- Touch targets ≥ the pill's interactive box; pills resist line-wrap glitches.
+
+## Failure / Edge States
+
+- **Unresolved citation** → muted dashed pill, "No source available"; panel omits it.
+- **No URL** → preview shows title/snippet, no "Open source"; card title is plain text.
+- **Missing snippet / date / icon** → those rows collapse; monogram replaces favicon.
+- **Long source lists** → panel scrolls with the message; header count communicates size;
+  collapse tucks it away.
+- **SSR** → overlay/preview are client-only (directive already guards `defaultView`);
+  markers and panel render statically server-side.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- **Unit (pure)**: `citation-display.ts` helpers — domain stripping, type inference,
+  monogram/hue determinism, date formatting/fallbacks.
+- **Component**: marker renders correct state/markup per resolver result; preview
+  populates from a `Citation`; panel collapse toggles `aria-expanded` + region.
+- **Interaction (real browser, not aimock replay)**: hover/focus opens preview, click
+  navigates, Escape/outside/Tab close, pointer-type branch (emulate `hover: none`).
+  Host-class/encapsulation behaviors need a real browser to catch (per prior learnings).
+- Verify **both** `examples/chat` and `examples/ag-ui` e2e twins if shared copy changes.
+
+## Rollout Notes
+
+- Public surface change (new optional `Citation` fields, new exported
+  `ChatCitationPreviewComponent`) → run `npm run generate-api-docs` and commit.
+- Patch-only version bump; release requires a pushed tag (dry-run first).
+- Lint gate is on errors, not warnings; aliased overlay inputs already carry the
+  documented eslint-disable pattern to mirror.
