perf(desktop): stop hidden right-pane and background work on every git change - #9149
Issue: Frequently going into hung state #9136 (desktop freezes after 2.0.2). This PR does not close it: the reporter's freeze is not reproduced. See Known Limitations.
Summary
A closed right pane no longer re-renders its Changes pane on every git change. Since feat(desktop): right pane area is on for everyone #9008 the pane stays mounted when closed, but its panes were never told they were hidden.
The base-branch picker builds its branch rows only while its popover is open. Before, it built one row per branch on every render.
The query cache persists at most every 10 s instead of every 1 s. A missing GitHub login is remembered for 30 s instead of being looked up again on every PR poll.
Why / Context
#9136 reports frequent freezes after 2.0.2, with typing and scrolling dead in the active session. There are no logs, and production builds do not record renderer unresponsive events. We reviewed the 2.0.1 → 2.0.2 renderer diff and found no hard loop. Then we measured the dev app over CDP while a script rewrote a file in the worktree every 250 ms, to look like an agent editing files. Main-thread work that 2.0.2 added or exposed showed up as follows:
Right pane state
Script time per 20 s, before
After
Never opened since load (2.0.1-like)
0.29 s
—
Changes open
1.17 s
1.12 s
Changes opened, then closed
0.89–1.03 s
0.43–0.58 s
With the pane closed, style recalcs per 20 s went from about 100 to 0 and layouts from 38 to 19, which matches the never-opened baseline.
How It Works
Hidden right pane:SidebarSlide provides TabVisibilityContext = !hidden. KeptTab combines its own visibility with its parent's, where before it overrode it with true. DiffPane already pauses through useHeldWhileTabHidden and enabled: isTabVisible; until now it was never told.
Branch picker:BaseBranchSelector evaluated filtered.map(...) before Radix decided not to mount PopoverContent. With the 12,898 branches in this repo (2,136 listed), that was 185 ms per 15 s of profile while closed. The search state and list moved into a new BranchList, which is only mounted inside the open popover.
Query persister:createAsyncStoragePersister runs superjson.stringify over the whole persisted set on any cache event, including events for queries that are never persisted. Git churn kept it running about once a second: 385 ms per 15 s on a 2.87 MB cache. throttleTime: 10_000 brings that to 29 ms per 15 s.
GitHub login:viewerGithub.status runs before every PR read. Without a login, every call spawned git credential fill and then gh auth token. A missing login is now remembered for 30 s. A found token is still cached by LocalGitCredentialProvider, as before.
Manual QA Checklist
Done in the dev app over CDP:
Changes opened in the right pane, closed, then measured during file churn (numbers above)
Reopen after changes made while closed: the new file is listed
Branch picker opens and lists branches; search filters (kitenite/add-sec gives one row); Escape closes it
Profiled the closed state after the fixes: BaseBranchSelector no longer appears; persister cost went from 385 ms to 29 ms per 15 s
Picking a branch changes the base. Not done, to avoid changing the base branch in the dev workspace. The handler is the same onChange + close, now called from BranchList.
Testing
bun test src/lib/trpc/routers/viewer-github: new test. It failed before the fix (5 lookups for 5 polls) and passes after (1 lookup, a new one after 30 s via an injected clock).
SidebarSlide.test.tsx: new assertions that a kept panel reports hidden while closed and visible when reopened. They fail without the SidebarSlide change (received "true") and pass with it.
bun test for the SidebarSlide and DiffPane suites and packages/panes: all pass
bun run typecheck in apps/desktop and packages/panes
biome check on the changed files, bun run check:i18n (no catalog changes: the English text is unchanged)
Known Limitations
The reporter's freeze is not reproduced. The longest task in these runs was about 80 ms. These fixes remove extra main-thread work, which grows with diff size, branch count and cache size. They do not explain a hang of several seconds.
Production builds still do not log unresponsive: the handler in main/windows/main.ts is inside if (isDev). Logging it in production is the natural next step, so the next report comes with data.
Risks / Rollout
Risk:
A crash can lose up to the last 10 s of cached query data (the cache only).
After gh auth login, the PR panes can take up to 30 s to switch to the local login.
Branch search now resets when the popover closes; before, it was kept until a branch was picked.
Rollback: revert the matching commit. Each fix is its own commit.
Summary by cubic
Reduces main-thread work in the desktop renderer during frequent git changes: a hidden right pane no longer re-renders on every git change, the base-branch list is built only while open, cache writes are throttled, and a missing GitHub login is remembered briefly. This relates to #9136 but does not close it — the reported freeze was not reproduced.
Bug Fixes
A closed right pane now reports itself hidden, so its Changes pane pauses re-rendering; reopening still lists files changed while closed.
A missing GitHub login is remembered for 30s instead of spawning git credential fill and gh auth token on every PR poll; after gh auth login, PR panes can take up to 30s to switch.
The missing-login window uses a monotonic clock, so a backward wall-clock correction no longer keeps PR panes on the cloud login until the clock catches up.
Performance
The base-branch picker builds one row per branch only while its popover is open; the search now resets when the popover closes.
Query cache persistence is throttled from about 1s to 10s; a crash can lose up to the last 10s of cached query data.

Improvements
Branch selection filters branches as you type and shows a message when no matches are found.
Kept workspace panels now correctly reflect whether their parent tab is visible, including when panels are closed and reopened.
GitHub connection status checks avoid repeating credential lookups for a short period when no login is available.
Workspace query-cache updates are persisted less frequently, reducing repeated background writes.
Since #9008 the right pane stays mounted when closed. KeptTab provided
TabVisibilityContext = true to its active tab regardless of its parent,
so a hidden Changes pane kept re-rendering on every git change. SidebarSlide
now provides !hidden, and KeptTab combines it with its own visibility.

Walkthrough
The changes add timed caching for missing GitHub logins, throttle IndexedDB query-cache persistence, propagate tab visibility to kept tabs, and move base-branch filtering and selection into a BranchList component.
The status endpoint reuses missing-login results for 30 seconds. An injectable clock supports the check. The test verifies repeated polls reuse the lookup and a later poll performs another lookup.
The panes package exports TabVisibilityContext. SidebarSlide provides its hidden state, and KeptTabView exposes pane visibility only when both parent and deferred local visibility are true. Tests check visibility values while the panel is closed and after reopening.

The title follows conventional commit format and names the main change: hidden right-pane and background work no longer runs on every git change. The PR also covers a branch-picker rebuild, cache throttling, and a GitHub login cache, but the title does not need to list every change. Its subject matches the PR objectives.

### Issue 1
packages/panes/src/react/components/Workspace/components/KeptTab/KeptTab.tsx:28-29
The new `SidebarSlide` test renders `Panel` directly, so it still passes if `KeptTab` goes back to overriding its parent's visibility-the behavior that kept hidden panes doing background work. Add a test with `KeptTab` under a changing `TabVisibilityContext.Provider`: an active tab should become hidden and visible with its parent, while an inactive tab should stay hidden when the parent reopens.

Summary
This PR reduces work from closed right panes and repeated GitHub checks.
Closed right panes pause their background work until they open again.
The base-branch picker builds its branch list only while open.
The desktop query cache saves at most once every 10 seconds.
GitHub status remembers a missing local login for 30 seconds.
Acknowledged by Kitenite:
A crash can lose the last ten seconds of query-cache updates; only cached data is affected.
Local GitHub login detection can lag by thirty seconds; this is intentional.
Branch search resets when the popover closes; this is intentional.
The reported freeze remains unreproduced, and production freeze logging is deferred to follow-up work.

Review: minor issues. The approach is sound and CI is green. The part that makes the right-pane fix work in the real layout has no test, and the new visibility signal also re-focuses a right-pane terminal on every reopen.
packages/panes/src/react/components/Workspace/components/KeptTab/KeptTab.tsx:28: no test covers the KeptTab change. With only this line reverted, all panes tests and all 7,461 desktop renderer tests still pass. Add a KeptTab test with a parent TabVisibilityContext set to false.
packages/panes/.../Tab/Tab.tsx:269 → TerminalPane.tsx:244: isActive now goes false/true each time the right pane closes and reopens, so an active right-pane terminal calls xterm.focus() on every reopen (before, only on the first open). Is that intended?
Nit, ElectronTRPCProvider.tsx:86: the throttle covers only serialize + write. dehydrate still runs on every cache event, and a normal quit can also drop the last 10 s.
Nit, useIsTabVisible.ts:5: the doc comment should say a host (SidebarSlide) can now also hide the panes.
Desktop end-to-end not verified: in this sandbox, the dev app could not open a v2 workspace (details on the page).
95-106: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift
Cover visibility through KeptTab, not only the outer provider.
The changed test renders Panel directly under SidebarSlide. It verifies the outer context, but not the value that KeptTab passes to Tab. Add focused integration coverage for the kept-tab path and assert hidden visibility while the sidebar is closed, then visible after reopening.
KeptTab currently combines parent and tab visibility, so this is regression coverage and not evidence of a current production failure.

Do not focus a terminal on a visibility-only activation.
115-116: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Do not focus a terminal on a visibility-only activation.
A terminal can move to the right pane through “Move to Right Side.” When the user closes the pane, focuses another control, and reopens it, ctx.isActive changes from false to true. TerminalPane then calls terminalRuntimeRegistry.getTerminal(terminalId, terminalInstanceId)?.focus() and moves focus away from that control.
This is separate from the explicit PaneFocusContext request, which already checks the current focus before invoking the registered handler. Prevent the ctx.isActive effect from focusing the terminal when activation only reflects sidebar visibility.

Update the ctx.isActive effect in TerminalPane so activation caused only by
sidebar visibility does not focus the terminal; preserve focus behavior for

TabVisibilityScope.test.tsx tests the helper directly. SidebarSlide.test.tsx tests a plain Panel under the provider. Neither renders KeptTab, so replacing KeptTab with a provider that ignores its parent visibility would leave the current tests passing. Add a focused test that renders KeptTab with a descendant using useIsTabVisible() under a hidden parent.
