Research direction

Read gknowledge/ui/window.py, focusing on _build_sources_pane() and _on_ingest(), then trace how the UI reports ingestion progress and how IngestionManager.cancel() is called in the core. Add a Cancel button beside the progress bar that stops after the current source and leaves the queue resumable. Run make test and use make start to check the UI in the demo project.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area: ui good first issue

IngestionManager.cancel() exists in the core, but the UI has no way to call it.

Where to look: gknowledge/ui/window.py, _build_sources_pane() and _on_ingest().

Done when: a Cancel button appears next to the progress bar during ingestion, stops after the current source, and the queue can be resumed later.


New here? Run make start to open a demo project that restarts on every save, and make test for the core tests. See CONTRIBUTING.md. Comment below to claim the issue.
