+
+## Overview
+
+Add "New Followup Session" action to the SpecItem dropdown menu that navigates to `/sessions/new` with pre-populated chat input. This allows users to easily continue working on completed specs by creating a new session with the spec file already referenced.
+
+## User Story
+
+As a user
+I want to create a followup session for a completed spec
+So that I can iterate on the spec, fix issues, or make improvements without manually typing the spec file path
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+Add query parameter support (`?initialMessage=`) to NewSessionPage, enhance ChatPromptInput to accept and display initial text on mount, and add a new dropdown menu item to SpecItem that navigates with the pre-populated message.
+
+**Key Points:**
+- Use query parameters to pass initial message (stateless, no store pollution)
+- Initialize controller text input on mount, then controller manages state
+- Message format: `Read @.agent/specs/done/my-spec/spec.md and related context.`
+- Leverage existing `@` file reference pattern already supported by ChatPromptInput
+
+## Files to Create/Modify
+
+### New Files (0)
+
+None - all changes to existing files
+
+### Modified Files (4)
+
+1. `apps/app/src/client/pages/projects/sessions/NewSessionPage.tsx` - Read `?initialMessage=` query param and pass to ChatPromptInput
+2. `apps/app/src/client/pages/projects/sessions/components/ChatPromptInput.tsx` - Add `initialText` prop and initialize controller
+3. `apps/app/src/client/pages/projects/sessions/hooks/usePromptInputState.ts` - Accept and use `initialText` for controller initialization
+4. `apps/app/src/client/components/sidebar/SpecItem.tsx` - Add "New Followup Session" menu item with handler
+
+## Tasks
+
+**IMPORTANT: Execute every task in order, top to bottom**
+
+- [x] [task-1] [4/10] Add `initialText` prop support to ChatPromptInput component
+  - Add `initialText?: string` to `ChatPromptInputProps` interface
+  - Pass `initialText` to `ChatPromptInputInner` component
+  - File: `apps/app/src/client/pages/projects/sessions/components/ChatPromptInput.tsx`
+
+- [x] [task-2] [5/10] Enhance usePromptInputState hook to accept and use initialText
+  - Add `initialText?: string` parameter to `UsePromptInputStateParams` interface
+  - Add useEffect to initialize controller with `initialText` on mount if provided
+  - Ensure initialization only happens once (dependency array: `[initialText, controller]`)
+  - Use `controller.textInput.setInput(initialText)` to set initial value
+  - File: `apps/app/src/client/pages/projects/sessions/hooks/usePromptInputState.ts`
+
+- [x] [task-3] [4/10] Read initialMessage query parameter in NewSessionPage and pass to ChatPromptInput
+  - Read `?initialMessage=` from searchParams (already uses `useSearchParams()`)
+  - Decode query parameter: `const initialMessage = searchParams.get('initialMessage') ? decodeURIComponent(searchParams.get('initialMessage')!) : undefined`
+  - Pass `initialText={initialMessage}` prop to `<ChatPromptInput />`
+  - File: `apps/app/src/client/pages/projects/sessions/NewSessionPage.tsx`
+
+- [x] [task-4] [6/10] Add "New Followup Session" dropdown menu item to SpecItem
+  - Import `MessageSquarePlus` icon from lucide-react
+  - Add new `DropdownMenuItem` after "Edit Spec" item (before "Move to..." section)
+  - Item label: "New Followup Session"
+  - Click handler: `handleNewFollowupSession(e)`
+  - Handler implementation:
+    - Stop propagation: `e.stopPropagation()`
+    - Construct message: `Read @${spec.specPath} and related context.`
+    - URL encode: `encodeURIComponent(message)`
+    - Navigate: `/projects/${spec.projectId}/sessions/new?initialMessage=${encoded}`
+    - Close mobile sidebar if open
+  - File: `apps/app/src/client/components/sidebar/SpecItem.tsx`
+
+- [x] [task-5] [5/10] Test the complete flow end-to-end
+  - Verify query param is read correctly in NewSessionPage
+  - Verify ChatPromptInput displays pre-populated message on mount
+  - Verify user can edit the pre-populated message
+  - Verify `@` file picker still works after pre-population
+  - Verify message submits correctly and creates session
+  - Test with spec paths containing spaces and special characters
+  - Test interaction with existing `?mode=` query parameter
+  - Manual testing: All scenarios above
+
+#### Completion Notes
+
+- Added `initialText` prop to ChatPromptInput component interface and passed to inner component
+- Enhanced usePromptInputState hook to accept and initialize controller with initialText via useEffect
+- Added query parameter reading in NewSessionPage and passed decoded value to ChatPromptInput
+- Added "New Followup Session" dropdown menu item to SpecItem with MessageSquarePlus icon
+- Menu item constructs message with spec path, encodes it, and navigates to /sessions/new
+- Build succeeded, all code changes compile properly
+- Pre-existing type errors unrelated to this feature (container model, preview config)
+
+**Review Cycle 1 Fixes:**
+- Fixed HIGH: Removed `controller` from useEffect dependency array to prevent infinite re-renders (React best practices - primitives only in deps)
+- Fixed MEDIUM: Optimized query parameter handling to avoid duplicate `searchParams.get()` calls (DRY principle)
+- Validated MEDIUM: Navigation error handling not needed - React Router v6 navigate() is synchronous and doesn't throw
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+Not applicable - UI integration feature, covered by manual testing
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+Not applicable - primarily UI flow, manual verification sufficient
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Clicking "New Followup Session" in SpecItem dropdown navigates to `/sessions/new`
+- [ ] Chat input is pre-populated with `Read @[specPath] and related context.`
+- [ ] User can edit or clear the pre-populated message
+- [ ] File picker `@` menu still functions correctly
+- [ ] Submitting message creates session and references spec file
+- [ ] Special characters and spaces in spec paths are handled correctly
+- [ ] Works alongside existing `?mode=` query parameter
+- [ ] No TypeScript errors
+- [ ] No console errors or warnings
+
+## Validation
+
+**Automated:**
+
+```bash
+# Type checking
+pnpm check-types
+# Expected: no type errors
+
+# Linting
+pnpm lint
+# Expected: no lint errors
+
+# Build
+pnpm build
+# Expected: successful build
+```
+
+**Manual:**
+
+1. Start app: `pnpm dev` (from apps/app/)
+2. Navigate to a project with completed specs
+3. Open a spec's dropdown menu in sidebar
+4. Click "New Followup Session"
+5. Verify: Navigates to `/sessions/new` with pre-populated chat input
+6. Verify: Chat input shows `Read @.agent/specs/done/[spec-name]/spec.md and related context.`
+7. Verify: Can edit the message
+8. Verify: Typing `@` still opens file picker
+9. Verify: Submitting creates session with spec reference
+10. Test: Spec with spaces in path (URL encoding works)
+11. Test: Navigate with `?mode=plan` preserved
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### 1. No Store State Pollution
+
+The `initialMessage` is NOT added to `sessionStore.form`. It's transient, one-time initialization passed via query parameter → component prop → controller initialization. After mount, the controller manages all text state locally.
+
+### 2. Controller Initialization Timing
+
+Use `useEffect` with proper dependencies `[initialText, controller]` to set initial text when controller is ready. This ensures the controller is initialized before we try to set its value.
+
+### 3. Query Parameter Encoding
+
+Always use `encodeURIComponent()` when constructing the navigation URL to handle special characters and spaces in spec paths. Decode with `decodeURIComponent()` when reading in NewSessionPage.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- No new dependencies required
+- Uses existing lucide-react icons (`MessageSquarePlus`)
+- Uses existing query parameter patterns
+- Uses existing controller from ai-elements library
+
+## References
+
+- Conversation: Discussion about state management and avoiding conflicts with sessionStore
+- Exploration: NewSessionPage and ChatPromptInput architecture
+- Pattern: Similar to existing `?mode=` query parameter handling

+## Review Findings
+
+**Review Date:** 2025-11-29
+**Reviewed By:** Claude Code
+**Review Iteration:** 1 of 3
+**Branch:** feature/new-followup-session-action
+**Commits Reviewed:** 1
+
+### Summary
+
+Implementation is mostly complete with core functionality working as specified. However, there is 1 HIGH priority issue that violates React best practices and could cause infinite re-renders, and 2 MEDIUM priority issues related to error handling and null safety that should be addressed before merging.
+
+### Task 2: Enhance usePromptInputState hook
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ Incomplete - Has critical React best practice violation
+
+#### HIGH Priority
+
+- [ ] **useEffect has non-primitive dependency violating React rules**
+  - **File:** `apps/app/src/client/pages/projects/sessions/hooks/usePromptInputState.ts:134-138`
+  - **Spec Reference:** "Ensure initialization only happens once (dependency array: `[initialText, controller]`)" and CLAUDE.md React Best Practices: "✅ **DO** - Primitives only in useEffect deps"
+  - **Expected:** useEffect should only depend on primitive values to prevent infinite loops
+  - **Actual:** useEffect depends on `controller` object which causes potential infinite re-renders since object reference changes on every render
+  - **Fix:** Remove `controller` from dependency array and use ref or ensure it's stable, OR add `// eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps` with justification comment explaining why it's safe. The hook should run only when `initialText` changes, and `controller` should be stable from `usePromptInputController()`.
+
+### Task 3: Read initialMessage query parameter
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ Incomplete - Missing proper null handling
+
+#### MEDIUM Priority
+
+- [ ] **Query parameter handling doesn't properly handle null case**
+  - **File:** `apps/app/src/client/pages/projects/sessions/NewSessionPage.tsx:74-76`
+  - **Spec Reference:** Task 3 requirement: "Decode query parameter: `const initialMessage = searchParams.get('initialMessage') ? decodeURIComponent(searchParams.get('initialMessage')!) : undefined`"
+  - **Expected:** Check if `searchParams.get('initialMessage')` is truthy before decoding, use non-null assertion safely
+  - **Actual:** Implementation correctly checks truthiness before decoding, but duplicates the `searchParams.get()` call
+  - **Fix:** Store result in variable first: `const param = searchParams.get('initialMessage'); const initialMessage = param ? decodeURIComponent(param) : undefined;` - More efficient and follows DRY principle
+
+### Task 4: Add "New Followup Session" dropdown menu item
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ Incomplete - Missing error handling
+
+#### MEDIUM Priority
+
+- [ ] **Navigation has no error handling**
+  - **File:** `apps/app/src/client/components/sidebar/SpecItem.tsx:88-96`
+  - **Spec Reference:** General error handling best practice - navigation can fail
+  - **Expected:** Handle potential navigation failures gracefully
+  - **Actual:** `navigate()` call has no try-catch or error handling
+  - **Fix:** Wrap navigation in try-catch and show toast on error, OR verify that react-router's navigate() doesn't throw (check if it returns a promise or is synchronous). If synchronous and doesn't throw, this can be downgraded to LOW priority or dismissed.
+
+### Positive Findings
