A wave on /changelog says in plain numbers how many pulls it gathered and how many apps they touched #11351

Each wave now says how big it is, for example 7 changes in 3 apps, or 1 change in 1 app. It shows on the /waves list and on each wave's own page. It does not show on /changelog, because that page has no waves on this base. I checked src/web/pages/changelog.ts and src/release/answer.ts, which holds the data GET /api/v1/changelog serves. Waves live only under /:owner/:name/waves, so I put the size there. That also means pulls and apps are not in GET /api/v1/changelog.

Waves came out as pulls and apps on GET /api/v1/repos/:owner/:name/waves, as new fields next to the existing ones. I changed test/api-waves.test.ts to expect them, since it compared that list exactly.

• How it's counted: waveSize and sizeWords in src/story/waves.ts count the wave's own pull links from the entry already read, with no extra git call. A pull repeated in the file counts once, and apps are distinct owner/name.
• Where it shows: on the list, the size is a second muted span in the row's trail, next to the existing visible-pull count. On the wave page it follows the version and date.
• Tests: test/waves-page.test.ts has a new test for plural, singular, repeated pulls and apps counted once each, and for the list row. It also checks that the wave page carries the line.
• Checks run: the wave tests, test/changelog-timing.test.ts (median 18.8 ms), bun x tsc --noEmit, bun scripts/gate.ts and bun scripts/design-lint.ts all pass.
• Not run: scripts/fast.ts is absent in this clone, so I ran the covering tests by name rather than the full suite.

What I left alone: the existing "N pulls" count on each row still counts only the pulls the viewer can see, and the new size counts all pulls the wave names. A stranger can therefore see 1 pull and 2 changes in 1 app on one row. The MCP waves tool is unchanged.

To try it, open /<owner>/<repo>/waves and one wave's page, or GET /api/v1/repos/<owner>/<repo>/waves.

The push hook asked for a "how to try it" commit, so there is an empty Try: commit on the branch.

A wave's size now counts only the pulls the viewer can read, and the old N pulls is gone, so each wave shows one count. I ran the waves tests (45 pass), tsc, scripts/gate.ts and design-lint; the forge runs the full check on the push.

What changed

• Visible pulls only: waveSize in src/story/waves.ts now takes the visible pulls (what carriedPulls returns) instead of the whole wave. The list row, the wave page and GET /api/v1/repos/:owner/:name/waves all filter the same way for the viewer. A guest no longer learns how many private pulls or apps a wave holds.
• One count: the list row's trail is version · date · N changes in M apps. waveLine follows the same wording.
• Tests: an API test checks that the owner sees 2 pulls in 2 apps and an outsider sees 1 in 1. The page tests are updated to the single count. Two existing fixtures name pulls that don't exist, so they now correctly read 0 changes in 0 apps.
• Docs and terminal: docs/features/wave-size.md is added. The terminal's waves screen shows no size, and I left it that way; the doc says so.

Not done: the /changelog placement I agree /changelog has no waves on this base, so the size stays on the waves list, the wave page and the waves API, where waves exist. A person needs to restate that premise in the issue. I left it open.

The gate failed on the new feature page, so I removed docs/features/wave-size.md and put its text into the existing docs/features/wave-walk.md as a "A wave's size" section. I didn't add a pipeline change or a Direction: line, since this is not a new feature. scripts/gate.ts now passes locally and the fix is pushed. I haven't seen the forge's re-run yet.

The code is unchanged since the last push, and the earlier run of the waves tests and tsc passed.

• What a wave shows: a size such as 7 changes in 3 apps, on the list row, under the headline on the wave page, and as pulls and apps on each item of GET /api/v1/repos/<owner>/<repo>/waves.
• Visibility: the numbers count only the pulls the viewer can read, once each, so a guest is not told how many private pulls a wave holds. The old N pulls is gone.
• Not done: the terminal's waves screen shows no size, and the doc says so. The size is not on /changelog because that page has no waves on this base. The issue's premise still needs a person to restate it.

The failing check was a stale assertion in test/looks-owner.test.ts, not a code fault. It still expected the old 1 pull on /waves. This pull replaced that text with N changes in M apps, so I changed the test to expect 1 change in 1 app, which is what the preview seed's wave now shows.

bun test test/looks-owner.test.ts passes (22 tests) and I pushed the fix. A search of test/ found no other assertion on the old N pull(s) wording for waves. I did not re-run the full suite, so the forge's re-run is the confirmation.

Each wave now shows its size, like 7 changes in 3 apps (singular for one), on both the web and the terminal. That covers the /waves list, a wave's own page, each item of GET /api/v1/repos/<owner>/<repo>/waves (as pulls and apps), and the terminal's waves list and wave header. The counts include only pulls the viewer can read, each counted once, so a guest learns nothing about private pulls.

What changed since the last review

• Terminal (src/tui/screens/waves.ts): list rows now read <version> · <date> · <headline> · N changes in M apps, and an opened wave's header reads <version> <date> N changes in M apps. Both use waveSize over carriedPulls, the same per-pull access check the page uses. Sizes are worked out once each time the list loads, not on every screen redraw.
• waveLine: moved to src/story/waves.ts and now titles the terminal's rows, so the function the review flagged as having no caller is used.
• Tests: a new case in test/tui-waves.test.ts has the owner see 2 changes in 2 apps on the row and in the header, and an outsider see 1 change in 1 app in both places. It fails against the previous terminal screen. test/waves-line-date.test.ts covers the terminal row title in both plural and singular.
• Docs: docs/features/wave-walk.md now names the terminal screens and drops the "shows no size yet" note.

Not done: /changelog and GET /api/v1/changelog. I disagree with treating these as blockers for this pull. /changelog has no waves to size. It lists what went live (landings read by release/landings.ts, grouped by day), and the API returns version, commit, live, onItsWay rows. Neither reads waves/<version>.md. Adding pulls/apps "per wave" there would mean inventing a grouping the page doesn't have. The issue needs restating by a person, either as the waves surfaces this pull covers or as a new design for /changelog. Until then, its first two boxes stay open.

Checks run: bun scripts/gate.ts, bun x tsc --noEmit and bun scripts/design-lint.ts all pass, and so do the 25 test files that touch waves (184 tests). scripts/fast.ts named 1,864 files, too many to run locally, so I picked those 25 myself.

To try it: open /<owner>/<repo>/waves and a wave from it, signed in and as a guest. In the terminal, open the Waves screen and press Enter on a wave.

Left #11334 open: 2 unticked items remain (Each wave's head on /changelog and its own page reads like 7 changes in 3 apps, singular when one; counts come from the wave entry already read (no extra git call).; The same counts appear in GET /api/v1/changelog as pulls and apps per wave (additive).).
