Description

Replaces @plane/ui Avatar and AvatarGroup with the published Propel components across apps/web — 41 files, 51 avatar sites, 4 group sites. Propel's size scale is @plane/ui's shifted one step, so every enum maps with no pixel change

Type of Change

  • Code refactoring

Test Scenarios

  • Project card: member stack caps at 2 + +N; counter renders fully, not clipped by the adjacent avatar
  • Cycle sidebar / cycle list: assignee stacks cap correctly
  • Member dropdowns (assignee, lead, created-by): single and grouped avatars
  • Applied-filter chips across issues / modules / project / inbox
  • Notification card (42→40px) and profile sidebar header (32px) — check ring gap and initials
  • Editor @ mentions and Power-K member menu
  • Users without an avatar image: initials render, colour now from Propel's palette (was hardcoded teal)
  • Light and dark

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • UI Improvements
    • Standardized avatar sizing and presentation across the app.
    • Improved fallback initials when profile images are unavailable.
    • Updated avatar displays in member lists, filters, comments, notifications, mentions, analytics, and profile areas.
    • Added consistent overflow indicators showing additional members in avatar groups.
    • Improved tooltip presentation for issue details, dates, owners, and copy actions.
Replace @plane/ui Avatar and AvatarGroup with the published Propel
components across apps/web. 41 files, 51 Avatar sites, 4 group sites.

Propel's size scale is @plane/ui's shifted one step, so every enum maps
with no pixel change: sm(16)->2xs, md(20)->xs, base(24)->sm, lg(28)->md.
Unsized avatars took the old md default and become xs.

Notable mapping decisions:

- name -> alt plus fallback={name?.[0]?.toUpperCase()}, preserving the
  initial that @plane/ui derived internally.
- Six numeric px sizes mapped to the nearest enum step. Five are exact;
  the notification card avatar moves 42px -> xl (40px).
- Ten classNames removed, as published Propel takes no className. Seven
  were already redundant with Propel's base class (shrink-0, bg-layer-1);
  the remaining three overrode initials typography, which Propel now sets
  per size.
- shape="circle" and fallback colour props dropped; Propel is always
  circular and picks initials colours from a fixed palette.

AvatarGroup needs app chrome. @plane/ui defaulted to max={2}, rendering
two avatars plus a +N counter, while Propel's AvatarGroup renders every
child. No call site passed max explicitly, so all four relied on that
default and would have rendered entire member lists. The new
common/avatar-group-overflow.tsx restores the cap around Propel's group.
ButtonAvatars' size prop is narrowed to AvatarGroupSize accordingly;
no caller passes size.

Tooltips are intentionally not migrated. @plane/ui Avatar wrapped itself
in a Tooltip defaulting to on, and Propel has no built-in tooltip, so
roughly 29 direct sites plus the ButtonAvatars subtree lose a tooltip.
ButtonAvatars additionally inverted the flag (showTooltip={!showTooltip}),
so its callers passing false were the ones showing tooltips. Restoring
these is deliberately deferred to a follow-up.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR migrates web avatar usage from @plane/ui to Propel. Avatar props now use alt, fallback, and named sizes. Grouped avatar views use AvatarGroupOverflow. Related tooltips use the updated Propel API.

Changes

Avatar migration and grouping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Avatar group overflow component
apps/web/core/components/common/avatar-group-overflow.tsx
The overflow counter now uses a Propel Avatar with a +N fallback.
Grouped avatar integrations
apps/web/core/components/cycles/..., apps/web/core/components/dropdowns/member/avatar.tsx, apps/web/core/components/project/card.tsx
Grouped avatar views now use AvatarGroupOverflow and Propel avatar props.
Individual avatar API migration
apps/web/core/components/**, apps/web/core/hooks/**
Avatar imports and usages now use Propel, alt, fallback, and named sizes. Tooltip usages in affected components use the updated label API.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d14f8

This migration may leave tooltips unusable or fail type-checking across several web views, and grouped avatars can show misleading counts when member records are unavailable. The PR should not merge until the Propel Tooltip contract and resolved-member handling are confirmed.

Please check the examples in Propel’s Avatar Group component: Avatar Group docs

We shouldn’t recreate the avatar’s “+N” overflow state using custom CSS here. Let’s rethink the implementation and see if we can achieve the desired behavior using the Design System components and patterns instead.

If the “+N” treatment is genuinely needed, we should implement it through the existing Avatar/Avatar Group system rather than introducing a one-off CSS solution.

Replace the custom CSS +N counter with a Propel Avatar fallback,
matching the Avatar Group overflow pattern. Size still comes from
the group context.

Pull request overview

Refactors apps/web to use the published @makeplane/propel Avatar component (and a small wrapper for capped avatar stacks) in places that previously depended on @plane/ui’s Avatar / AvatarGroup, aiming to preserve existing sizing semantics across the UI.

Changes:

  • Migrates avatar usages from @plane/ui to @makeplane/propel/components/avatar, mapping props to alt/fallback/size.
  • Replaces capped AvatarGroup usage with a new AvatarGroupOverflow helper to provide +N overflow behavior.
  • Updates multiple filter, mention, notification, and menu UI surfaces to use the new avatar API consistently.

Use the imported Propel Tooltip props.

Tooltip supports tooltipContent, not label, and does not support layout. Replace label with tooltipContent at all eight affected sites and remove layout from the three usages. Otherwise, TypeScript rejects these props, and the runtime tooltip receives no content.

Derive grouped-avatar state from resolved members.

Both components use raw ID-array lengths even when getUserDetails returns no record. This produces misleading counts and empty groups.
