+# OC-170 Request Action First-Click Reliability
+
+## Goal
+
+Make every primary request action fire on the first user activation immediately after opening a request editor.
+
+Users should not need a priming click before Send, Connect, Disconnect, Send Message, or equivalent protocol actions work. If an action is not ready because the editor is still hydrating, the UI must show a clear disabled/loading state rather than accepting and silently dropping the first click.
+
+## Current Gap
+
+| Surface | Gap |
+| --- | --- |
+| Request editor startup | After opening a request, the first click on action buttons can be ignored outright. |
+| HTTP and GraphQL | Send must fire on the first click after open, reload, and protocol-aware hydration. |
+| WebSocket | Connect, Disconnect, and Send Message must be armed on first paint once visible and enabled. |
+| gRPC | Unary and streaming send actions must not require a focus or hydration priming click. |
+| Action routing | CodeLens, command palette, toolbar buttons, and Copilot-triggered actions should share a consistent ready-state contract. |
+| Tests | There is no explicit automated coverage proving first-click behavior immediately after editor open. |
+
+## Likely Causes To Investigate
+
+- VS Code webview focus activation swallowing the first pointer event.
+- Button handlers being attached after the buttons become visible.
+- Request hydration replacing DOM nodes after the first click target is rendered.
+- Disabled/loading attributes or CSS classes being cleared after the first user interaction.
+- Invisible overlays, first-paint shells, response panes, or pointer-event CSS blocking the initial click.
+- Debounced YAML/model updates racing with action dispatch and causing the action to no-op.
+- Duplicate handler registration or teardown during protocol layout transitions.
+
+## Scope
+
+1. Reproduce or concretely rule out the issue for HTTP, GraphQL, WebSocket, and gRPC requests.
+2. Audit request editor startup, hydration, action binding, ready state, and VS Code `postMessage` routing.
+3. Ensure visible enabled controls are armed before they can be clicked.
+4. Add deterministic tests that dispatch the first click immediately after initial render and after hydration.
+5. Cover mouse activation, keyboard activation where the control supports it, and command/CodeLens parity.
+6. Preserve protocol-native first-paint behavior from OC-130 and WebSocket lifecycle behavior from OC-140.
+7. Update the central progress ledger before and after implementation.
+
+## Implementation Guidance
+
+- Prefer stable event delegation from the earliest request webview script initialization point over attaching late per-button handlers.
+- Do not show enabled-looking controls before the request model, VS Code API bridge, action route, and protocol state are ready.
+- If an action is clicked while hydration is legitimately incomplete, either keep the control disabled or queue the action explicitly. Do not silently drop it.
+- Keep action dispatch single-shot. The fix must not create double sends, duplicate WebSocket connects, or repeated gRPC calls.
+- Use shared request editor helpers where possible so HTTP, GraphQL, WebSocket, and gRPC do not drift.
+- Keep Copilot tools and CodeLens behavior aligned with the same request action readiness rules.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- The root cause is documented in `AGENT_PROGRESS.md`, or the issue is ruled out with concrete reproduction evidence and tests.
+- First click after opening a request sends exactly one action for HTTP Send, GraphQL Send, gRPC Send, WebSocket Connect, WebSocket Disconnect, and WebSocket Send Message where applicable.
+- Keyboard activation through Enter/Space works for the same visible controls where supported.
+- Visible enabled buttons are never in a state where they can accept a click but no-op due to missing handlers or stale request state.
+- Invalid YAML fallback, neutral/protocol first-paint shell, slow hydration, and reopen/reload flows are covered.
+- No duplicate sends/connects are introduced by repeated hydration or event-handler registration.
+- Request data posted by the first click uses the latest editor model/YAML and does not regress variable/runtime handling.
+- Automated tests cover the failure mode, the fix, and shared request editor regressions.
+- `npm run compile`, focused tests, `npm test`, `npm run build`, package, and local install verification pass before marking the task done.
+
+## Suggested Test Coverage
+
+- Add or extend request webview tests to render the initial shell, dispatch a click on each primary action as the first interaction, and assert exactly one message is posted.
+- Add hydration-transition tests proving first-click behavior before and after the request model is applied.
+- Extend protocol layout stability coverage for no stale HTTP controls, no blocked pointer events, and no duplicate handlers.
+- Extend WebSocket lifecycle tests for connect/disconnect/send-message first-click readiness and no duplicate session actions.
+- Extend gRPC and GraphQL editor/action tests as needed so protocol-specific send buttons are covered.
+- Add command and CodeLens regressions if the root cause touches shared action routing.
+
+Recommended verification:
+
+```powershell
+npm run compile
+npx vitest run test/protocolLayoutStability.test.ts test/webSocketSupport.test.ts test/requestTypeUx.test.ts test/graphqlSupport.test.ts test/grpcSupport.test.ts test/sendRequestTool.test.ts
+npm test
+npm run build
+npm run install:local
+```
+
+Package/install verification may use the project-local build/install script if that is the current supported flow.
