Two compounding bugs caused the previous session's questions/actions
to render briefly when entering a new chat — visible as "the new
session instantly pops with old session task-lane data" the user
reported.
The race
- AssistantChatPage's activeQuestions / activeActions / showTaskLane
useState initializers synchronously read sessionStorage's
rf-tasklane-meta. They restore the persisted task-lane state if its
saved chatId matches the freshly-resolved activeChatId.
- On dashboard prefill flow, the page mounts on /pilot with
location.state.prefill set; activeChatId initializes from
sessionStorage's rf-active-chat-id (the previous session). The
previous session's task-lane meta matches that chatId — so the
initializer restores it. First paint shows old questions/actions.
sendPrefill's resetSessionDerivedState fires later from a useEffect,
but only after the flash.
- Same pattern hits the senior-pickup flow: ?pickup=true means we're
about to render the magic-moment screen and discard whatever chat
the senior was previously on, but the underlying chat surface still
initializes with their old task-lane meta.
The amplifier
- resetSessionDerivedState wiped the in-memory state but never
removed sessionStorage's rf-tasklane-meta. Any remount or reload
before the next persistence-effect write could re-hydrate the
cleared state from the still-stale sessionStorage entry.
Fixes
- Initializer guard: when location.state.prefill is set OR
?pickup=true is in the URL, skip the sessionStorage restore
entirely. Kills the first-paint flash for both entry paths.
- Eager wipe: resetSessionDerivedState now also calls
sessionStorage.removeItem('rf-tasklane-meta'). The persistence
effect re-saves on the next state change anyway, so the only
window where sessionStorage is empty is the exact window where
stale-tag leakage was happening.
tsc -b clean. No backend changes.

ResolutionFlow
Stop writing ticket notes. Start generating them.
ResolutionFlow is an AI-powered troubleshooting platform for MSP professionals. Engineers follow guided flows while an AI copilot assists — and documentation writes itself as a byproduct of the work.
Production: resolutionflow.com

Features
FlowPilot AI Copilot
Like having a senior engineer on every call. FlowPilot guides troubleshooting decisions, suggests next steps with context-aware intelligence, and automatically captures documentation as a byproduct of the session.
- Confidence-tiered model routing (fast responses for simple steps, deeper reasoning for complex decisions)
- AI-generated ticket summaries and session documentation
- Standalone assistant chat with RAG for open-ended troubleshooting
- Knowledge Flywheel: AI analyzes completed sessions and proposes new flows automatically
Guided Flows
- Troubleshooting Flows — Decision trees with branching paths for diagnosing issues
- Procedural Flows (Projects) — Step-by-step checklists for onboarding, migrations, deployments
- Maintenance Flows — Scheduled recurring tasks with batch execution across multiple targets
- Visual Flow Editor with drag-and-drop canvas, undo/redo, markdown support
- AI Flow Builder — describe what you need, get a complete flow generated
Auto-Documentation
Every session generates timestamped, detailed notes formatted for your PSA. Engineers never write another ticket note.
- Export to Markdown, plain text, or HTML
- Sensitive data redaction
- One-click push to ConnectWise PSA tickets
ConnectWise PSA Integration
- Post session documentation directly to ConnectWise tickets as internal notes
- Pull ticket details and client context into FlowPilot sessions
- Member mapping between ResolutionFlow and ConnectWise users
- Credentials encrypted at rest (Fernet), stored per-team
Team & Knowledge Management
- Role-based access (super_admin, team_admin, engineer, viewer)
- Shared flow library with categories, tags, folders, full-text search
- Step Library — reusable troubleshooting steps with ratings and reviews
- Session sharing via link (authenticated and public views)
- Escalation workflow with AI-enhanced briefing packages
- Flow proposals from AI analysis (review queue for team leads)
