Summary

This PR reworks how a live turn looks and moves in the ACP chat:

  1. Loader: the text shimmer sweeps a highlight instead of a dark notch, in CSS, and respects reduced motion.
  2. Streaming: replies appear a whole word at a time at a steady pace, and each new paragraph fades in. Before, text landed in bursts.
  3. One live line: a single clock line under the prompt sweeps while the turn runs. The separate "Working…" line is gone.
  4. Rows: reasoning and tool calls are one line each. Runs of two or more calls sit on a rail with a summary line.

Also includes:

  • A running tool call joins its run in the shared timeline, instead of jumping in when it settles.
  • A wider column, a pill prompt bubble, and message actions under a turn's last reply only.
  • The walkthrough page source in docs/pages/.

Part 1: Loader

Why

The band was painted in the page background over grey text, so the sweep read as a dark notch, or a washed-out gap in light mode. It ran through motion/react every frame and ignored prefers-reduced-motion.

What / How

  • The band is the foreground colour over a base of the foreground at 40%.
  • The keyframe sits behind an animate-shimmer token in packages/ui/src/motion.css. The desktop renderer imports that file because it does not load the packages/ui theme sheet.
  • background-repeat used padding-box, which is not a repeat keyword, so both layers tiled. It is now no-repeat.
  • Reduced motion renders plain muted text with no animation. The public API and the 2 s default are unchanged.
  • Tempo in the chat: the clock sweeps at 1 s; thinking, running titles and run summaries sweep at 1.6 s.

Part 2: Streaming

Why

Measured on a real reply, text arrived in bursts: nothing for 0.3 to 0.5 s, then up to 145 characters at once.

What / How

  • usePacedText reveals whole words at no less than 90 characters a second, closes on a backlog in about 0.22 s, and shows text already present at mount at once.
  • MarkdownView fades each new block in over 320 ms. The streaming tail is keyed like the stable block it becomes, so a finished paragraph keeps its DOM.
  • Empty blocks between paragraphs no longer add a second flex gap.
Real reply Before After
Median time between screen updates 51 ms 17 ms
Largest jump in one update 145 chars 37 chars

Part 3: One live line and layout

  • transcriptRows places the turn clock after the prompt. WorkingFor sweeps it at 1 s while the turn runs and leaves "Worked for 8s" at half strength.
  • WorkingIndicator and showsWorkingIndicator are deleted. In one measured turn the indicator mounted, unmounted after 95 ms and mounted again, restarting its sweep each time.
  • The column is 56rem with 16px row gutters and a 4px row rhythm. Prose is 14px on a 24px line at 78% strength.
  • The prompt bubble is a 10% foreground fill: a pill when it fits one line, 12px corners otherwise, up to 36rem wide.
  • Copy, branch and time render under a turn's last reply once it settles, instead of reserving an invisible row under every reply.

Part 4: Rows

  • Reasoning: one line. "Thinking..." sweeps until the thought has words, then the first paragraph shows at half strength and pulses while it streams. Clicking it opens the whole thought.
  • Tool calls: one line with no output preview and no "Show detail" link. Commands are 13px mono and files are a small mono chip. A running call turns a dashed ring and sweeps its title. Clicking the line opens the call's output.
  • Runs: two or more calls sit under a summary line with the steps on a rail. The summary sweeps while a step runs.
  • Timeline: collapseWorkLog in packages/chat now lets a running call join its run, so the live step sits on the rail instead of beside it.

Manual QA Checklist

Driven over CDP in the dev app, in an ACP chat with a real Claude agent, in both themes. The before shots came from the base commit with a scripted agent.

  • A streamed multi-paragraph reply grows word by word with no bursts; each paragraph fades in.
  • The clock sits under the prompt, sweeps while running and reads "Worked for Ns" after.
  • There is no separate working line at the bottom of a turn.
  • A single tool call is one line; clicking it opens its output.
  • A run of three shell calls shows a summary and a rail; the running step sits on the rail with its ring.
  • A settled run folds to its summary.
  • Copy and branch appear only under a turn's last reply, on hover.
  • Reduced motion (emulated): the clock, summary and titles compute to animation: none and render plain text; the ring holds still.
  • Computed tempos: clock 1 s, summary and running title 1.6 s, ring spin-slow 3.6s linear infinite.

Testing

Check Result
bun test in packages/ui, packages/chat and the desktop ChatSession tree Pass
apps/desktop full suite 209 failures, identical to the base commit; none in the chat
tsc in packages/ui and packages/chat-ui Pass
tsc in packages/chat and apps/desktop No errors in changed files; the rest is a worktree path-casing artifact and a duplicate @better-auth/core install, both present on base
  • Only the final tree was typechecked, not each commit.
  • bun run check:i18n fails on main because apps/marketing/src/app/providers.test.tsx adds a greeting id that isn't in the catalogs. Apart from that entry, the catalogs here equal the extractor's output. This PR adds no strings and removes four from every locale: "Working…", "Show detail", "Hide detail" and "+N more lines".

Design Decisions

  • Per-block fade, not per-word. Inserting an element in this renderer can restyle the whole document, about 6,500 elements and roughly 40 ms per insertion. Per-word spans insert elements every frame and capped the reveal near 20 fps. Growing an existing text node stays cheap, so pacing grows text nodes and only new blocks fade.
  • Keep the dashed ring on a running tool call, as originally specified.

Known Limitations

  • The whole-document restyle comes from the app's :has() rules. With the 14 group-has-* variants present, every insertion restyled the whole document. With every :has() rule removed, a synthetic stream ran at 120 fps with 36 ms of style work in total. Fixing that is an app-wide CSS change, left for its own PR; the numbers are on the walkthrough page.
  • The run summary uses past tense ("Ran 2 commands") while a step still runs.
  • Runs fold when the turn ends, not as soon as the agent writes prose.

Follow-ups

  • Show the model name on the clock line. This needs new strings in 17 locales.
  • Animate steps arriving on the rail.
  • Revisit per-word fading after the :has() audit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Chat responses now appear at a readable pace with subtle fade effects that respect reduced-motion settings.
    • Refreshed chat transcripts feature clearer spacing, compact user-message bubbles, and more distinct tool activity indicators.
    • Reasoning summaries and tool activity are easier to scan, with expandable details and clearer status cues.
  • Improvements

    • Related tool calls are grouped together, including calls that are still running.
    • Copy, branching, and timestamp controls appear on the latest completed reply.
    • Chat content stays aligned as the transcript resizes.

The sweeping band was painted in the page background over muted text, so
it read as a dark notch moving through the label. The band is now the
foreground colour over the same muted base, so the sweep reads as a
highlight.

The sweep is a CSS keyframe behind an animate-shimmer token instead of a
per-frame motion/react animation; duration is passed as a custom
property. Under prefers-reduced-motion the label is plain muted text
with no gradient and no animation. motion stays a dependency of
packages/ui: ChatHistorySidebar still uses it.
The working line, the running file-change verb and the reasoning
trigger sweep in 1.2 s instead of the 2 s default. The reasoning
trigger's "Thinking..." label is regular weight at the trigger's own
size, so it matches the working line under it instead of sitting
smaller and bolder.
While a call runs, its kind icon gives way to a dashed ring that turns
once every 3.6 s, and its title sweeps at the chat tempo. Settled calls
keep their kind icon and recede as before. The ring holds still under
prefers-reduced-motion.
An opaque muted-foreground base sits too close to the foreground band in
the dark theme, so the sweep was barely visible. The base is now the
foreground colour at 40%, which gives the band the same contrast in both
themes. The repeat value also used padding-box, which is not a repeat
keyword, so the whole declaration was dropped and both layers tiled; it
is now no-repeat.
The hand-drawn ring used a dash pattern that does not divide the
circumference, so one segment was short and the seam showed as it
turned, and its 2px stroke at the row colour read heavier than the text.
CircleDashed has eight even segments; it is drawn at 1.75px and 40%
foreground so it sits behind the title.
Reply text arrived in bursts: nothing for a few hundred milliseconds,
then up to 145 characters at once. The reply now shows whole words at a
steady pace that never drops below 90 characters a second and closes on
a backlog in about a quarter second. Text already present when the row
mounts shows at once.

Each new block fades in over 320 ms. The fade is per block, not per
word: inserting an element costs this renderer a style recalculation of
the whole document, so per-word spans capped the reveal near 20 fps,
while growing text nodes stays cheap.

The streaming tail is keyed like the block it becomes, so a finished
paragraph keeps its DOM. Empty blocks between paragraphs no longer add
a second gap. The copy, branch and time actions sit under a turn's last
reply once it has settled instead of reserving a row under every reply.
…s measure

A turn had two indicators: a plain clock above the prompt and a separate
"Working…" line at the bottom that mounted and unmounted between steps,
restarting its sweep each time. The clock now sits under the prompt,
sweeps once a second while the turn runs, and stays as "Worked for 8s"
at half strength. The bottom line is gone.

The column widens to 56rem with 16px row gutters and a 4px row rhythm;
prose sits closer under the work it follows than under the prompt. The
prompt bubble is a 10% foreground fill, a pill when it fits one line
and 12px corners otherwise, up to 36rem wide.
Reasoning is one quiet line: "Thinking..." sweeping until the thought
has words, then its first paragraph at half strength, breathing while it
streams. The thought opens beneath it on click.

A tool call is one line with no output preview or "Show detail" link
under it: commands in 13px mono, files as a small mono chip, a dashed
ring and a sweeping title while it runs, half strength once settled.
The line itself opens what the call produced. A run of two or more
calls sits under a summary line that sweeps while a step runs, with the
steps hanging off a rail that branches to each row.

The shared reasoning trigger in packages/ui goes back to its original
weight and size: the chat no longer uses it. The catalogs drop the four
strings that left with the old rows.
The timeline kept a running call out of its run until it settled, so a
live step showed as a separate line below the run and jumped into it
when it finished. It now joins the run as soon as it starts, so the
running step sits on the rail with its ring and the run's summary
sweeps.
Before and after captures, the measurements behind the streaming change,
and the :has() style-recalculation finding.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates chat transcript rendering, including paced agent text, reasoning and tool rows, work-row placement, and shared motion styles. It also changes running tool-call grouping and updates related tests, locale catalogs, and documentation.

Changes

Chat transcript and motion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared motion styles
packages/ui/src/motion.css, packages/ui/src/globals.css, packages/ui/src/components/ai-elements/shimmer.tsx, packages/ui/src/components/ai-elements/shimmer.stories.tsx, apps/desktop/src/renderer/globals.css
The UI package adds shared CSS animations and changes Shimmer to use CSS instead of Motion. The desktop renderer imports the shared motion stylesheet.
Paced agent text and Markdown
.../MarkdownView/MarkdownView.tsx, .../AgentMessageRow/*, .../AgentMessageRow/hooks/*, .../AgentMessageRow/utils/revealEnd/*
Agent messages reveal streamed text at word boundaries and fade while streaming or revealing. Actions appear only when a message ends a turn and streaming is complete. MarkdownView supports optional block fading.
Transcript rows and message presentation
.../Transcript/Transcript.tsx, .../Transcript/utils/transcriptRows/*, .../ReasoningRow/*, .../TurnGroupSection/*, .../WorkingFor/*, .../UserMessageRow/*, .../WorkingIndicator/*
Transcript rows change spacing and work-row placement. Reasoning rows show a summary with expandable Markdown. User-message corner rounding depends on measured text height. The standalone working indicator and related utility are removed.
Tool-run grouping and row rendering
packages/chat/src/core/timeline/deriveTimeline*, .../ToolCallRow/*, .../TurnGroupSection/components/ToolRunRow/*, .../Transcript/utils/toolKindIcon/*
Running tool calls join tool runs. Tool rows use tool-kind icons and updated expandable content. Output-tail previews and duration labels are removed.
Localization and change documentation
packages/i18n/locales/*/messages.po, docs/pages/chat-shimmer-motion/index.html
Locale catalogs remove entries for additional lines, singular detail toggles, and “Working…”. The documentation page describes the transcript and motion changes.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8dc94

Chat replies still reveal word by word for people who request reduced motion. The change is otherwise mergeable with this accessibility issue acknowledged and scheduled for correction.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8dc94

The changes mainly affect how chat replies and tool activity are displayed. No new tool authority or approval bypass was established, but the security effect of changing reasoning-link handling remains partly unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is transcript rendering in the desktop session and the shared timeline projection. Neither inspected grouping nor pacing grants tool-execution authority. Broader consumer exposure is not established by the high-fanout routing signal alone.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — Untrusted reasoning content now reaches the existing custom link renderer with linkSafety explicitly disabled. The inspected anchors use new-window navigation, which desktop handling sends to the system browser only for HTTP(S). This establishes a changed policy inheritance, not a verified approval bypass, script-execution path or effective loss of the previous dependency-default safeguard; those dependency semantics remain unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Approval requests retain their explicit ApprovalRow and onRespond path. New-window handling denies Electron child windows, and the app navigation guard prevents navigation away from the app document before external dispatch. These controls are separate from transcript layout and were unchanged in the full PR comparison.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Repetition and running-to-terminal updates recompute presentation rather than committing a multi-step authoritative transition. Tool identifiers are preserved, non-tool items break runs, and failed or interrupted turn status remains separately visible. This confines regrouping failures to presentation in the inspected path rather than approval ownership or persisted execution state.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 2/5

[Medium risk] Refactors chat message display with streaming animations.

The PR should not merge until completed replies retain their actions, completion preserves paced output, and completed reasoning remains accessible.

Fix with agent prompt
### Issue 1
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/hooks/usePaneRegistry/components/ChatSession/components/Transcript/components/AgentMessageRow/AgentMessageRow.tsx:64
When a completed reply is followed by a tool call or turn-status row in the same turn, it does not count as the last row. If no later reply appears, this condition hides the copy and branch controls and timestamp for the turn's final reply.

### Issue 2
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/hooks/usePaneRegistry/components/ChatSession/components/Transcript/components/AgentMessageRow/utils/revealEnd/revealEnd.ts:14
If a stream completes while the paced display is behind, this returns the full text on the next animation frame. The remaining backlog appears all at once instead of at the paced rate, especially after a fast final update.

### Issue 3
apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/hooks/usePaneRegistry/components/ChatSession/components/Transcript/components/ReasoningRow/ReasoningRow.tsx:33-34
When a completed thought contains only a fenced code block, `thoughtSummary` strips its content and returns an empty label. This branch then removes the entire reasoning row, leaving no way to open and read the thought.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

Summary

The PR changes ACP chat shimmer and reply pacing, moves the live clock beneath the prompt, and condenses reasoning and tool activity into one-line rows and grouped runs.

  • Running tool calls now join timeline runs before settling.
  • Reply-action placement, completion-time pacing, and fenced-only reasoning need correction.

Not changing this one. When a stream ends behind the reveal, revealEnd still cuts at the end of the current word; it only returns the full length once the position is inside the last word (for a 48-character text ending at position 5, it returns 7). usePacedText re-runs on the streaming change and keeps draining from what is shown at max(90 chars/s, backlog / 0.22 s), so the rest arrives paced rather than on the next frame. A large backlog does drain fast by design, with about a quarter-second time constant.

You're right — I overlooked that the streaming transition reruns usePacedText while preserving shown.current. revealEnd continues exposing complete words, and the backlog-based speed intentionally drains the remainder quickly rather than revealing it in one frame. The large final jump I described does not occur here, so this is not an actionable issue.

**Fenced thoughts disappear** When a completed thought contains only a fenced code block, `thoughtSummary` strips its content and returns an empty label. This branch then removes the entire reasoning row, leaving no way to open and read the thought.

- Around line 17-20: Update usePacedText to detect prefers-reduced-motion and
bypass paced reveal so the full current text is shown immediately when reduced
motion is preferred. Subscribe to preference changes while the hook is mounted
and update the reveal behavior when the preference changes, preserving the
existing pacing behavior otherwise.

- Around line 2-8: Update the thought-summary logic to remove fenced code from
the source text before splitting it into paragraphs, treating an unclosed fence
as code through the end of the current text. Keep inline-code cleanup on the
selected paragraph, and remove the later fenced-code replacement so streaming
thoughts do not expose partial fence content.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 10 included reviews per hour; 8 remain after this review.

A turn that ended with a tool call or an interrupted or failed status
after its last reply showed copy, branch and time under no reply at
all. The actions now sit under the last reply of each turn, whatever
rows follow it.
The summary split a thought into paragraphs before removing code
blocks, so a block with a blank line inside leaked its opening fence
and code into the line, and an open block showed raw code while
streaming. A thought that began with a code block had an empty summary
and its row disappeared, leaving the thought unreachable. Code blocks,
closed or not, are removed first, and a finished thought with no prose
falls back to "Thought for a few seconds".
The transcript was 56rem with no side padding while the prompt input
was 48rem inside a 1.5rem gutter, so the conversation ran 128px wider
than the box you type in, and 22px wider in narrow panes. Both now use
one 48rem column inside the same gutter. The transcript reserves room
for its scrollbar on both edges, so it measures that and takes it out
of its padding; the column and its text line up with the prompt input
at every width.
The paced reveal only cut at whitespace and held back a partial last
word until it ended. Chinese, Japanese and other scripts written
without spaces are one unbroken "word", so a streaming reply stayed
hidden, and the fallback that releases a held word restarted on every
new chunk. Any character edge in those scripts is now a cut, so they
reveal a character at a time at the same pace. A held word longer than
32 characters, such as a long URL, shows anyway. Cuts never split a
surrogate pair or separate a combining mark from its letter.
