What & why

Follow-up to #9051. Three v2 surfaces got their compact age label from the v1 helper getRelativeTime(ts, { format: "compact" }) in screens/main/components/WorkspacesListView/utils.ts:

  • V2WorkspaceRow: the workspace list
  • V2WorkspacesBoardCard: the board view
  • TerminalSessionDropdown: terminal session ages

That helper builds "5m ago" / "2w ago" as hardcoded English, so these labels stayed English in all 16 locales. AGENTS.md says to use formatCompactRelativeTime instead, and that helper gives the same compact shape through Intl.

The compact branch of getRelativeTime now has no callers, so it goes. The default branch stays for the v1 WorkspaceRow ("Opened 2 hours ago"), which builds an English sentence around it and needs its own i18n pass.

How I tested it

  • apps/desktop typecheck passes
  • bun test v2-workspaces WorkspacesListView TerminalPane: 62 pass, 0 fail
  • bun run check:i18n: 0 missing in every locale (no catalog changes)
  • biome check is clean

Opened by the daily cleanup automation.

Summary by cubic

Follows up on #9051 by localizing the compact age labels in the v2 workspace list, board view, and terminal session dropdown, which previously rendered hardcoded English in all locales.

  • Switches V2WorkspaceRow, V2WorkspacesBoardCard, and TerminalSessionDropdown to formatCompactRelativeTime, which produces the same compact shape through Intl.
  • Removes the compact branch from getRelativeTime; the default branch remains for the v1 WorkspaceRow, which builds an English sentence around it and needs its own i18n pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Workspace cards, workspace rows, and terminal session menus now display creation or activity times using compact relative-time labels, making timestamps easier to scan.
    • Relative-time labels in the main workspace list continue to use their standard wording, including abbreviated minute and hour labels and longer labels for days, weeks, months, and years.
