The hover affordance framed only the strip right of the crumbs. The bar itself
now carries the outline and the padding in both modes, so hovering previews
exactly the field the click produces and nothing resizes when the two swap.
One keystroke moved the view twice: deleting a separator first narrowed the
pane the draft had just walked away from, then replaced it with its landing.
The tail now filters only the LAST pane — the one whose level the path names —
so a pane on its way out holds still until its landing arrives.
Also from the review round: the walk waits both legs out instead of taking the
submitted-navigation bound (a speculative scan has nothing waiting on it, and
a tail keystroke aborting a slow parent leg would otherwise strand the
two-pane view); a level keeps answering the directory text that produced it,
so `..` segments and Windows forward slashes filter and stop rescanning; the
release-on-miss rule counts displayable rows, so it survives `hidden` ever
meaning more than dot-prefixed; and the editor's 250ms rest joins the other
two constants on the remote-recalibration list.
Skipping the draft-following scan whenever ANY pane happened to list the
directory was the cheaper rule and the wrong one: erasing a segment left the
level being typed on the LEFT, with its own child pane still standing to its
right, so the two panes stopped reading as "where I am, and where I came
from".
The pane arity is now the invariant the editor maintains — the last pane lists
the level the path names, its parent sits beside it, and only a display root
lists alone. Only that last pane's own tail costs no scan; every other
directory part re-lands.
The draft-following scan replaced the panes with one wide level, so typing a
path collapsed the dialog's Miller view — the thing the dialog is. It now
lands through the same selection-anchored landing every navigation uses:
target and parent legs as one frame, the target re-selected in its parent
level, its children on the right. Typing a path moves the Miller view exactly
as a crumb jump does.
One landing shape, two callers: `land(path, {closeEditor, announce})` is what
`navigate` and the draft-following scan share. A submitted path closes the
editor and announces failures; the speculative scan keeps both to itself and
re-parks the focus its swap dropped.
A level a pane already lists still needs no scan at all — the filter alone
answers the draft — so erasing back into the parent's own path keeps both
panes and only moves the filter.
ds-review-bot round one. Keying the debounce on the directory part the draft
named left two states with no recovery until the operator crossed a separator:
a keystroke that superseded an in-flight scan never re-armed one, and an edit
after a rejected submission released the hold with no timer left to release.
The wait is now keyed on the draft itself and decides its target when it
fires, reading the panes through a ref so a landing cannot re-arm it (a host
answering with a differently spelled path would otherwise scan forever).
A landed scan that unmounts the row a keyboard operator Tabbed onto re-parks
focus on the still-open editor; the Modal has no focus trap. That a walked-to
level survives closing the editor is now stated in the README, the Agent Note,
and the module contract. The new e2e stages its own beta directory so running
it alone sees the tree its assertions describe.
The Select Workspace Directory dialog hid its one route into typing a path
behind an invisible click target, and once the editor opened the panes stayed
on whatever level was listed when it opened — so the typed text and the list
under it disagreed for the whole edit.
The edit zone now carries a pencil glyph at the bar's right edge and lights in
the editor's own footprint on hover/focus (the bar keeps one height across the
swap). While editing, the panes follow the draft: a directory part no pane
lists is scanned after a 250ms rest and lands in place, so typing deeper
descends and erasing segments steps back up without leaving the editor, and a
final segment nobody matches releases the prefix filter instead of emptying
the pane it is being spelled into. The draft-following scan is speculative and
silent on failure; Enter still owns the view from submission until landing and
remains the only path that surfaces an error.
The parenthetical listed 14/16 and this branch added 20, but the set never
held to it: IconRightUpOutline14 defaults to 8, IconTreeCorner8x10 to 10,
and IconWarningOutline16 to 14. Drop the list rather than maintain one that
drifts, and retitle the icons test that carried the same generalization.
The session row menu's Archive action carried ic_ds_download_outline_16, a
download tray that reads as "save to disk" rather than "put away". Swap it
for the design's archive glyph — a lidded box with a label slot — added to
the ic_ds_* set as IconArchiveOutline20.
The glyph is native 20, the first of that size in the set, so the menu's
16px icon slot asks for it explicitly. The figma export's 0.11px stroke ring
around the box contour is dropped: it restates the same contour in the same
ink, which currentColor already carries.
Holds the session.history response at the browser's network boundary so
the auto-selected open is observable, then asserts the visible frame and
the recorded phase timeline. Registered host-plane like the other
scaffold-booting e2e files (host include + client project exclude).
The mount fixture always listed the session, so the case named "no list
summary" actually exercised a row proving non-blank. An omitSummaryRow
option drops the row, and the three cases now pin blank:false, an absent
row, and the summary-proven blank open.
The mount helper's 4th positional argument becomes an options object so a
test can set the session list row's blank flag independently of the
conversation snapshot's; the two new cases cover both branches of the
settling condition.
Master's permission-policy-context scenario landed with the pre-change
one-argument connectFreshWorkspace signature, which fails to compile
against the test-merge commit CI builds.
Master gained a web-search e2e scenario that calls connectFreshWorkspace
with the pre-change one-argument signature, which fails to compile against
the test-merge commit CI builds. Give it the scaffold's workspace root like
every other scenario.
Master also gained the first-run welcome notice. The shared scaffold
acknowledges it before boot, but the W5 smoke spawns its own server against
a fresh $DSH_HOME, so its overlay owns pointer events and swallows the
first click on the workspace chip; the scenario now dismisses the notice
first. The notice is anchored structurally because this spec belongs to the
client TypeScript program, which does not reference the package owning its
copy.
- lifecycle-chrome's second scaffold staged its workspace under the OUTER
scaffold's temp root, coupling two supposedly independent worlds and
leaving the aria scrub root wrong; it now uses its own workspaceCwd.
- The direct-open path now carries the same `flowBusy` gate that disables
the equivalent menu entry, so an occupant re-registering mid-adoption
cannot raise a second flow.
- A composition with no directory-picker no longer opens a zero-entry
popover on the hero anchor: with nothing to pick and nothing to add,
the gesture shows nothing. Both behaviors gain a unit test.
- Brought three partially superseded Agent Notes current (the native
picker, the workspace UI product flow, and the sidebar browsing split),
cross-linked to this decision, both languages re-recorded.
- Corrected this Note's own Testing section: the shared e2e helper stages
and adopts its directory, it does not create one in-dialog — only
workspace-management does. Named the client-seam and CLI-README residue
in the follow-up TODO alongside the wire branch.
The user bubble's IconActions row carried an edit button with no click
handler, no client mutation, and no host operation behind it, advertising
an affordance the product cannot honor. The row now renders clock / copy /
branch only for both user and assistant chrome, and MessageIconActions
loses the `edit` prop with the button.
The package README records the missing capability under Known Limitations,
the web aria goldens pin the row without the control, and the Agent Note
states what must exist before it comes back.
Node >= 21 exposes a global `navigator` reporting the machine's own language,
so gating detection on `navigator` let a non-browser boot of the client tree
resolve to `en` instead of the documented fallback; `window` is the browser
test. `navigator.languages` is spec-required but absent on some embedders and
older WebViews, where spreading it would throw at boot, so the walk tolerates
its absence and `navigator.language` covers that host.
The per-spec pin boilerplate collapses into one suite-level
`usePinnedBrowserLanguages('zh-CN')`, which owns the rationale in
dsh-client-test-runtime, and the English-browser e2e scenario now clears the
console warnings channel too — its page has no closing inventory spec.
Both Workspace surfaces offered "Open local folder…" and "Create a new
workspace" for one outcome. The browse occupant already carries its own
New folder affordance, so picking a directory covered creating one; the
name dialog only added a second vocabulary and a create target the
operator could neither see nor choose.
The surviving entry is named after the outcome — "Add workspace…" — and a
menu now appears only where there is something to choose between: with no
Workspace listed (the add-only sidebar header, or an empty hero list) the
anchor gesture raises the directory flow directly instead of a one-row
popover. An empty list counts as final only after the list baseline lands,
and a composition with no directory-flow occupant hides the sidebar button
rather than offering a dead one.
WorkspaceCreateFlow becomes WorkspacePickFlow (createOnly -> addOnly) and
the injected createWorkspace narrows to { path }. The host's
workspace.create({ name }) branch and `dsh web --workspace-root` lost their
last product consumer; both are marked at the call site for a follow-up.
A first visit resolved to Chinese regardless of the browser: LocaleService
read `dsh.locale` and fell straight back to `zh` when nothing was stored,
ignoring the languages the browser already states it reads.
The initial locale now resolves through three ordered sources — the persisted
preference, then `navigator` (first entry of the ordered language list whose
primary subtag names a shipped locale, so `zh-Hans-CN` -> zh and `en-GB` ->
en), then `FALLBACK_LOCALE`. An explicit choice still wins and nothing writes
the detected locale back to storage, so "has the user chosen?" stays a
question only the stored value answers.
Specs asserting the shipped Chinese copy now state the browser they assume:
the web e2e scenarios open their page with `locale: ZH_BROWSER_LOCALE`, and
package specs pin it through the new `pinBrowserLanguages` test helper.
`settings-chrome.e2e.ts` gains an English-browser scenario as the
assembled-app proof.
The card is a React child of the wrapper, so capture-phase presses on it
reached the wrapper's dismissal handler: the first pointerdown of a text
selection closed the card, contradicting its JSDoc contract. Restrict the
immediate close to presses outside the card, keeping it mounted under a
held press (and the browser click with it), and align onPointerLeave's
grace arming with Menu (only while open).
Pin both new behaviors in hover-card.spec and update the bilingual Agent
Note.
Review flagged that "equal by construction" rested on an engine behaviour I
had not measured: `scrollbar-gutter: stable` only equalizes the layers if the
engine applies it to `overflow: hidden` the way it does to `overflow-y: auto`.
Measured it on the running app across the three engines Playwright ships,
and the property does not hold up.
engine .input / .backdrop / .mirror wrap width
chromium 776 / 776 / 776 (768 / 768 / 768 with the declaration)
firefox 776 / 776 / 776 (unchanged by it — overlay scrollbar)
WebKit 768 / 776 / 776 (unchanged by it)
WebKit reserves for `overflow-y: auto` and not for `overflow: hidden`, so the
declaration left .input at 768 against 776 — exactly the gap it was meant to
close — on the one engine where that gap is observable at all, while costing
every chromium user 8px of text column unconditionally. Reverted: the
composer's metrics are now the same as before this PR.
The WebKit gap predates this change and is not closed here. It is recorded in
the Agent Note with the numbers, and the browser scenario asserts the equality
on the lane's engine so a regression into that state fails loudly. The mirror
is unaffected on WebKit for the drafts measured — the extents still agree — but
a draft whose wrapping turns on those 8px would clamp it.
The review's monotonicity concern resolves the same way: the declaration was
never worse than master, because WebKit already measured 768 against 776
without it. It simply was not better.
Also from this round: the wrap-width assertion now covers .mirror as well as
the two glyph layers — it is the height authority, so a mirror alone wrapping
wider would measure the box short and clip content below the 14-line cap with
every other assertion green. Plus `renderGeometry`'s missing `@param
trailingNewline`, and both e2e tsconfig lists restored to alphabetical order.
Second review round escalated the wrap-width divergence from a separate
concern to a defect in this fix's own premise, and it is right.
Only .input scrolls, so only .input loses content width to a scrollbar that
consumes layout space — what Windows and Firefox draw, and what the theme's
global `::-webkit-scrollbar` width makes chromium treat as occupying space.
A narrower .input wraps a long soft-wrapped draft onto more lines, so it
grows taller, its scroll maximum exceeds the backdrop's, and the mirrored
offset clamps below the caret. That is the same failure the trailing-line
sentinel fixes, in the same direction, so deferring it would have shipped a
fix that does not hold where users run a classic scrollbar.
My first attempt to reproduce it found nothing and was wrong: the probe
content was not wrap-sensitive. With varied-length words the effect is
plain — the same draft laid out at 8px-apart widths differs by 2 to 5
lines, while at equal widths a textarea and a div agree exactly.
The three layers now reserve the gutter together, in the shared metrics
block that already exists to keep them symmetric. `overflow: hidden` is
still a scroll container, so the non-scrolling layers honour it: 8px is
reserved on each, measured. The cost is a text column 8px narrower on every
platform, which is the price of one geometry rather than a per-platform one.
The browser scenario asserts the premise directly — equal wrap widths, and a
reserved band greater than zero on each layer. The band is what stops the
assertion being vacuous: the widths would also match with no reservation at
all on this engine's overlay scrollbar, and it is the reservation, not the
match, that carries the guarantee to a platform whose scrollbar takes real
width. Removing the declaration fails it with `expected 0 to be greater
than 0`, and fails the golden with it.
Also from the same round, three comment corrections: the e2e file header no
longer describes the deleted layout effect, the measurement guard no longer
claims the backdrop holds exactly one text node (the sentinel makes a
second), and the sentinel comment now carries the one-sidedness argument
that also settles the ghost hint — the mirror only fails when the backdrop
is SHORTER, and the hint can only add content, never remove a line box.
Review caught a real divergence the earlier measurements missed: mirroring
an offset is only correct while both layers can reach it, and for a draft
ending in a newline the backdrop could not.
A textarea reserves a line box for the caret after a final newline.
`white-space: pre-wrap` collapses a text node's trailing newline and
generates none. So a draft ending in a newline made the backdrop exactly one
line shorter than the textarea — measured 628 against 652 — and the mirrored
assignment clamped, leaving the glyphs one line behind the caret at the very
bottom of the draft.
The backdrop now carries the same trailing-line sentinel the mirror div has
carried all along: its content is the decoration walk plus one newline. The
same pre-wrap collapse absorbs it when the draft does not end in a newline,
so it costs no height in the ordinary case, and it supplies the missing line
box when it does. Verified in isolation first: a bare pre-wrap div measures
180/180/198 against a textarea's 180/198/216 for zero, one and two trailing
newlines, and 180/198/216 with the sentinel.
Coverage for the shape that exposed it: the browser scenario asserts the two
extents are equal before asserting the glyphs reach the end, observing each
layer's maximum by asking for an impossible offset and reading back the
clamp rather than computing it from scrollHeight, and the golden records the
relation. The unit spec pins the backdrop's text as the draft plus exactly
one newline. Removing the sentinel fails both, the e2e with the same 628
against 652.
The scrollbar-gutter half of the same review point does not reproduce here:
both layers measure clientWidth 776 against a border box of 776 while the
draft overflows, so this engine's textarea scrollbar is an overlay and takes
no width out of the wrap.
The first version coupled the layers from two places: a `scroll` listener
and a layout effect keyed on the committed draft. Mutation-testing each
hook alone against the built client shows the effect never fires the only
assignment that matters — with just the layout effect disabled the browser
scenario stays green, while disabling just the listener fails it.
Both premises behind the effect were wrong. Typing scrolls the caret into
view, which is an ordinary `scroll`. A draft that shrinks past the current
offset clamps both layers to the same maximum, because their extents are
equal — measured in chromium at 964/964, 1012/1012, 844/844 and 820/820 for
plain, soft-wrapped, unbreakable-run and highlighted drafts — and the
textarea's clamp fires `scroll` too.
The hazard the effect was imagined to cover does not exist either: React
replacing every child of the backdrop when the decoration set changes shape
preserves `scrollTop` (measured: 300 stays 300 through a full child
replacement), and the only replacement that zeroes it shrinks the content
below the offset, which is the clamp case already covered.
The e2e's edit case survives, retitled to say what it actually pins: that
typing is not a separate case needing its own mirror. The unit spec now
asserts the backdrop tracks a second move back to the top, which a one-shot
mirror would fail.
A composer draft past the 14-line cap could not be scrolled: the caret and
the selection moved, but the words stayed frozen at line 1, so the tail of
anything longer than the cap was unreachable while writing it.
The composer paints its text in two stacked layers. The textarea owns the
value, the selection and the caret but renders its own glyphs transparent;
every visible character is painted by the decoration backdrop beneath it,
which also carries the claim-token highlight, the chips and the ghost hint.
The backdrop is `inset: 0; overflow: hidden` — clipped, not scrolled — and
nothing linked its offset to the textarea's. Below the cap both layers rest
at 0, which is why the defect hid behind every short-draft screenshot and
fixture.
InputBar now mirrors the textarea's scrollTop onto the backdrop, from a
`scroll` listener (every gesture and every caret-driven scroll) and from a
layout effect keyed on the committed draft (an edit reflows both layers
without necessarily firing a scroll event).
Scrolling is layout, so jsdom cannot show this: the unit spec stubs both
offsets and proves the mirroring paths run, while a new browser scenario
measures the user-visible fact against the built client with a DOM Range
over the backdrop's own text — after a wheel gesture over a 40-line draft
the last line is on screen and the first has scrolled out. Confirmed both
directions: with the mirroring reverted and the packages rebuilt, the
golden reads `last draft line is on screen: false` while `textarea moved:
true`.
The workspace browser's two hover-raised popups both died on the way to
them. HoverCard closed on the first pointerleave and rendered its card
pointer-events:none, but the card sits 8px off the anchor, so every path
to it crossed ground belonging to neither. The row action menus put
closeOnPointerLeave's handler on the portaled list, so aiming back at the
... trigger that opened it, or overshooting a list edge, closed it with no
window to come back.
usePointerGrace owns one cancelable delayed close (200ms) shared by both
atoms: leaving arms it, returning cancels it. The hover card becomes
hit-testable so resting on it holds it open, and Menu moves pointer-leave
dismissal to the wrapper span, where React's enter/leave traversal makes
trigger and portaled list one region.
Both gestures are pinned in the real browser lane; each fails without the
corresponding fix.
Review follow-ups on the presentation intent.
The card claimed any single-question request declaring the intent, then sent one
of two labels — so a producer offering a third option, or a multi-select batch,
lost answers the generic flow would have shown. That contradicts the intent's
own contract, so `planReviewOf` now claims only a binary single choice and
leaves everything else to the flow that can express it.
`ask()` also rejects a plan-review intent on a question with no `detail`: the
intent declares detail IS the plan, and without one a honouring UI asks the
user to approve something invisible. The client keeps its own fallback — it sits
downstream of a wire boundary — but the misconfiguration now fails at the asker.
`planReviewOf` stops being a value export of the client contract face (client
export discipline: pure helpers stay internal; the tests already import it
relatively), and the ui-question README fallback list, both languages, now
states every condition the code enforces.
The lane boots the host spine through the shared scaffold, so it belongs to
tsconfig.host.json and must stay out of the client-registered apps/web project
— one program cannot hold both sides of the cordis Context merges.
The Web composer now renders a request that declares the `plan-review` intent
as its own surface: the waiting-approval card language — amber "Plan review"
strip, the plan as the scrolling markdown body, the question as the card's
accessible name — over one decision row of Chat about it / Refuse / Approve.
Gone from that surface are the 1/1 pager, the numbered radio rows, the custom
answer row, and Skip/Submit, which made approving a plan read as sitting an
exam.
Approve and Refuse answer with the asker's own option labels and keep its
descriptions as tooltips; Chat about it cancels the request so the composer
returns and the user can simply say what they want. Copy is bilingual under the
existing `question` namespace.
The shape choice lives inside the single composer entry rather than a second
chain registration, so the two surfaces cannot race the same carrier, and
`planReviewOf` falls back to the generic flow for any request it cannot render
as a card — the client sits downstream of a wire boundary and every request
must stay answerable.
A question may now carry `intent`, a tagged declaration that it IS a decision
of a known shape, so a UI that recognises the tag can present it as such
instead of as a generic option list. The one member is
`{ kind: 'plan-review', approve }`, which plan-mode sets on the exit_plan_mode
review.
An intent shapes presentation only: a UI honouring it answers with the same
option labels a generic UI would send, so the tool reads one answer shape
either way, and a UI that does not know the tag renders the generic flow.
`approve` names the affirmative option rather than relying on option order;
since no type can tie that label to the question's own option list, `ask()`
rejects a mismatch as BAD_INTENT, and the wire schema rejects an unknown tag
outright rather than silently rendering generic.
plan-mode also stops reporting a dismissed review as "the user cancelled
ask_user_question" — a tool it never called. A dismissal now tells the model
the user took the turn back to speak, and to stay in plan mode and wait; every
other ask failure keeps its own message.
Review follow-ups on the approval takeover:
The scroll region is now a tab stop (tabIndex + named role="group"). The
question composer's scroll body needs none — its option rows are focusable and
pull the container along — but this one holds nothing but text, so a
keyboard-only user could reach the buttons and never the command's tail, and
approve what they could not finish reading.
The action row's padding reproduces the 14px gap it had inside the body: the
flex gap of 6 plus its 8px top margin, neither of which reaches it now that the
row sits outside the scroll region. The resting card is unchanged again.
The answered-transcript golden captured the OS's own refusal of the denied
first attempt — "bash: notes.txt: Operation not permitted" on macOS against
"bash: line 1: notes.txt: Read-only file system" on Linux — so it passed
locally and failed the Linux snapshot lane.
The scenario now keeps one golden (the waiting panel, platform-neutral) and
asserts the answered state on the world instead: the decided outcome, the file
the escalated command actually wrote, DONE, the panel gone, and the composer
re-enabled. The file assertion is stronger evidence than the transcript dump
it replaces — it proves the grant reached the executor.
- .loadingFloat moved after the .status/.error block (its padding was
losing the same-specificity race) and re-anchored bottom-right: the
truncated/error rows own the bottom left and keep rendering through a
scan, so the pill can never cover them; confirmCreate's relist now
clears the stale failure text like every other scan launch.
- The close edge resets loading, so the slow-scan effect disarms while
hidden and a reopened dialog waits out a fresh silence window
(regression test added).
- The truncated note's survival through a scan is now asserted in the
slow-scan test; the wait-bound test moved to fake timers with the
200ms bound explicit.
- select()'s exemption from the one-frame rule and the constants' local
calibration premise are recorded in JSDoc and the capability-seam
Agent Note; the themed-scrollbars note's rebinding enumeration is
replaced by a pointer to the mechanical gate (it had drifted twice).
Both pairs re-recorded.
The loading pill's layer-2 background made the sheet an
elevated-surface painter, and the ui-theme scrollbar invariant rightly
flagged what was already latent: the dialog's columns scroll on an l2
card while the thumbs rendered in the base-surface pair. Rebind the
indirection on the card rule so it inherits to the scrolling columns.
Navigations keep the previous view rendering while scanning: target and
parent legs land as one two-pane frame when the parent leg settles within
a 200ms wait bound (past it the target lands alone and the late leg
upgrades in place; Escape inside the landing window withdraws the
navigation). The loading indicator floats over the content on the card
background and appears only once a scan outlives a 300ms silence window,
so navigation never shifts the columns or flashes an intermediate frame.
The truncated note now describes the on-screen panes instead of hiding
during scans.
Review round: the no-caption rule the Agent Note states applied only to the
success texts, leaving `permission · unknown permission preset "bogus" (…)`.
The error text now reads `unknown preset "bogus" (…)` and its exact wording
is pinned; the fixture mirror drops `JSON.stringify` for the host's own
quoting so the two cannot drift on a quoted argument.
The Note now states the line it draws: the rule bans a caption for the
command's own value, not the vocabulary, so `/plan`'s `Plan mode off.` and
`/goal`'s `Goal cleared.` conform as written — recorded with the broader
name-ban as a rejected alternative. The web row assertions are scoped to the
row so unrelated page text reading `permission` cannot satisfy them.
The approval panel replaces the InputBar while a sandbox escalation waits,
and its justification and command are unbounded model text. With no height
cap, a long command grew the card until the refuse/allow row went under the
fold: at 900x700 the action row's bottom landed at y=749, so the user could
read the request and not answer it.
Justification and command now scroll in one region capped at the same height
as the composer's draft area, with the amber strip and the action row outside
it. The cap is one value with two consumers — declared as
--dsh-composer-text-max-height on ConversationRoot's .composerSeat, the
composer chain's only shared ancestor — so the seat cannot cap its two states
differently. The card rebinds the l2 scrollbar pair like every other scrolling
surface on an elevated background.
Covered by a new web e2e scenario that drives the real composition (read-only
session, denied write, the model's escalation retry, answer clicked through
the panel) and measures the live panel at two viewport heights against the
composer's own cap, read off the textarea rather than hardcoded.
The web command row renders `title · summary` from one logged command
lifecycle pair, and the two halves were written without knowing about each
other: the title was the dispatched line rebuilt from `command/run` and the
summary was `command/done`'s verbatim text, so every Access-chip pick read
`/permission workspace-write · Permission preset: workspace-write.` — the
command name twice and its argument twice.
The title is now the bare command name (no `/`, no arguments — the summary
already says what the command did), and a command handler's settlement text
never repeats the command's own name, so `/permission` returns `preset
workspace-write`. The row reads `permission · preset workspace-write`, and
the TUI notice still names the preset that now applies. The log is
unchanged: `command/run` keeps its structured name/args split for a richer
registered row.
