   Thanks for the report — this is a real mobile ergonomics gap, not a missing feature.

   Today: FloatingWorkingControl already draws the centered “Working for…” capsule and the scroll-to-end chevron as two siblings that share a center and slide apart. The timer is intentionally non-interactive (touches pass through to the feed); only the small circle on the right scrolls. That’s awkward for left-handed use. Connection status is a separate case: that capsule is already a reconnect button.

   Not a duplicate of #5434 (closed). That issue asked to add scroll-to-end; #5986 landed it. This issue is about combining tap targets once both chrome are visible.

   Scope: mobile only (apps/mobile/src/features/threads/floating-working-control.tsx, wired from ThreadDetailScreen.tsx). Web keeps “Working for” in the timeline and a separate “Scroll to end” pill.

   Implementation notes

   • Combine only when a non-connection status and showScrollToEnd are both on: one pill (label + chevron) whose press is onScrollToEnd.
   • Leave scroll-only as the existing circle; leave status-only pass-through.
   • Do not steal the connection pill’s reconnect tap.
   • Apply the same layout on iOS glass and the Android/fallback pill.
   • Combined accessibility label: “Scroll to end”.

   The GPT mockup in the first comment didn’t attach; a re-upload is welcome but not required.

   Accepting as a small enhancement.

   sorry, android! just noticed it didn't make it into the body

   edit: the concept's "before" positioning is off, yes, just illustrative

   still too far right for left thumb
