Thinking Path

This is a train, replacing #16898 and #16906. The owner asked whether I was grouping PRs into
trains. I was not, and these two are the clearest case why I should have been.

They are the same change to the same surface: the Knowledge sidebar had five entries where two
would do, and both fix that by folding a route into an existing tabbed surface. Split across two
PRs they shared 13 files — router/index.ts, views/KnowledgeView.vue, and all 11 locale
files — so whichever merged second was guaranteed to conflict. That conflict existed only because
I split them.

Cherry-picked cleanly onto one branch, so the overlap resolves once here instead of as a merge
conflict later, and one CI suite runs instead of two against a ~200-deep queue.

What Changed

#16897 — Connectors folds into Manage. /knowledge/manage already carried
ManageTab = 'upload' | 'manage' | 'watchFolders'; ConnectorManager becomes a fourth tab.
/knowledge/connectors redirects to ?tab=connectors.

#16900 — one Research surface. New KnowledgeResearchTabs.vue hosts KnowledgeResearchPanel,
WebResearchPanel and WebResearchSettings as three tabs. /knowledge/web-research and
/knowledge/web-research-settings redirect with ?tab=.

Both follow the precedent /knowledge/watch-folders set: retired paths become redirects, never
deletions
, so existing links and bookmarks keep working.

Sidebar goes from five Knowledge entries to two.

Verification

  • All four redirects present and correct, including the pre-existing watch-folders one:
    ?tab=connectors, ?tab=settings, ?tab=webTools, ?tab=watchFolders.
  • The sidebar no longer links any retired path — remaining entries are browser, entities, graph,
    health, manage, mcp-resources, research, system-docs, transcriber, vector-store.
  • All 11 locales consistent: entries.connectorsTab present, views.connectors /
    views.connectorsAriaLabel / webResearch.navAriaLabel / webResearch.settingsNavAriaLabel
    removed, webResearch.navLabel retained because the Research tab uses it. Checked per locale, not
    just en.
  • No new i18n keys in either half. Every tab label already existed and was translated; adding new
    ones would have meant 22 new translations of words the files already carry.
  • The research panels are not merged, deliberately. KnowledgeResearchPanel runs an agentic task
    over a WebSocket; WebResearchPanel is four web-fetching primitives with its own inner tabs. Same
    subject, different implementations. This consolidates the doors, not what is behind them.

Batching

Closes #16897, #16900 — two same-scope issues, one CI suite, per the repository's
batch-by-default rule. Not batched with #16902 (the Company OS automation entry): that touches
LlcSidebar.vue, a different sidebar with a different owner-facing question, and shares only
router/index.ts in an unrelated section.

Not in this PR

Any code-level sharing between the research panels, and the rest of #16904's Company OS CRUD gaps.

Closes #16897, #16900

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a Connectors tab to Knowledge Management.
    • Added unified Knowledge Research tabs for Research, Web Tools, and Settings.
    • Tabs can be opened directly through supported URL query parameters.
  • Changes

    • Existing standalone Knowledge and Web Research pages now open within the relevant tabbed views.
    • Removed separate sidebar links for Connectors, Web Research, and Web Research Settings.
  • Translations

    • Updated multilingual labels and accessibility text for the revised Knowledge navigation.

Connectors and Manage were two top-level sidebar entries answering the same
question — how a data source gets into the knowledge base. Connectors ingest
from an external system, Upload and Watch Folders ingest from files. Splitting
them put "how do I get data in" in two places and implied they were different
kinds of work.

Manage is now the single answer. `ConnectorManager` renders as a fourth tab
beside Upload, Manage and Watch Folders.

This is the move `/knowledge/watch-folders` already made, one route later, so it
follows that precedent exactly rather than inventing a pattern:

  * `/knowledge/connectors` becomes a redirect to
    `/knowledge/manage?tab=connectors` — kept, not deleted, so existing links and
    bookmarks survive;
  * `?tab=connectors` opens directly on the tab, because `ManageTab` was already
    initialised from the query string for precisely this reason;
  * the separate sidebar entry is gone.

i18n: `knowledge.entries.connectorsTab` added to all 11 locales, taking each
locale's existing `knowledge.views.connectors` value rather than inventing
eleven translations — it is the same word for the same thing.

`knowledge.views.connectors` and `knowledge.views.connectorsAriaLabel` had the
removed sidebar entry as their only consumer and are removed from all 11 locales
in the same commit. Checked, not assumed: neither has a reference left outside
the locale files, and the route name `knowledge-connectors` is referenced
nowhere, so nothing is left pointing at what this retires.

The connector functionality is untouched. `ConnectorManager.vue` is mounted
somewhere else, not rewritten.

Closes #16897
… tabs (#16900)

Research was three top-level Knowledge sidebar entries answering one question:
/knowledge/research, /knowledge/web-research and /knowledge/web-research-settings.
Three doors, one job — and the settings for web research sat apart from the
thing they configure.

`/knowledge/research` is now the single surface, with Research, Web Tools and
Settings as tabs. The other two paths redirect with `?tab=`, kept rather than
deleted, the same treatment /knowledge/watch-folders and /knowledge/connectors
(#16897) got, so existing links and bookmarks survive.

This hosts the three panels; it does not merge them, and that is deliberate.
They read as two iterations of one feature and are not: KnowledgeResearchPanel
opens a WebSocket and runs an agentic research task against a query;
WebResearchPanel is four web-fetching primitives (scrape/crawl/sitemap/extract,
MVA-344) with its own inner tabs. They share a subject, not an implementation.
Collapsing them would conflate an agentic run with a scraping toolkit and lose
the distinction that makes each usable. What collapses is the navigation.

No new i18n keys. All three tab labels already existed and were translated in
all 11 locales — `knowledge.views.research`, `knowledge.webResearch.navLabel`
and `knowledge.webResearch.settingsNavLabel` — so the tabs reuse them rather
than adding a twelfth spelling of the same words.

`knowledge.webResearch.navAriaLabel` and `settingsNavAriaLabel` had the removed
sidebar entries as their only consumers and are dropped from all 11 locales in
the same commit. Verified against the filesystem rather than `git grep`, which
cannot see the new untracked component — the first check reported the two labels
I actually use as orphaned for exactly that reason.

Closes #16900

Explanation

The pull request also consolidates Research, Web Tools, and Settings. It adds KnowledgeResearchTabs.vue, changes the research route, redirects the retired research routes, removes research sidebar links, and removes related locale keys. These changes do not implement issue #16897, which covers only the Connectors move into Manage.

Localise the connector tab label.

knowledge.entries.connectorsTab remains "Connectors" in both the Arabic and Urdu locale files. This leaves the tab label in English, while the neighbouring watchFoldersTab and the same key in other supported locales use localised values. The existing English connector strings do not establish an intentional terminology exception.

Apply a locale-specific translation at each site:

Translate the Hebrew connector tab label.

knowledge.entries.connectorsTab is "Connectors", while the adjacent watchFoldersTab has a Hebrew translation. The Hebrew connector labels contain no established Hebrew equivalent for this term, so this value leaves the tab label in English. Replace it with the approved Hebrew translation.

Notice: 29 open PRs — past the runaway threshold (25)

There is no PR queue limit, and this is not a request to defer this PR. Work proceeds one issue at a time without a cap on open PRs; review capacity is the constraint.

This notice only means the count is high enough to be worth a glance for a runaway — something opening PRs in a loop, or a merge pipeline that has stalled so nothing is draining.

Currently open:

If the queue is draining normally, ignore this. Otherwise:

  1. Check whether CI is dispatching at all — see the ci-dispatch-watchdog status on these PRs
  2. Merge the ones whose CI has finished and review has passed: gh pr merge <number> --squash --delete-branch
  3. Look for a loop opening near-identical PRs

Warn-only runaway detector — .github/workflows/pr-queue-gate.yml. It never blocks a merge.
