Change

Three changes to the chat composer, in one PR:

  • The control row is v0.4.8's again. feat(chat): port t3code chat rendering, composer and settings features #951 rearranged the card's last row after t3code: the model group came first as plain text with hairlines, and add / mic / task chip moved next to Send. This PR puts back the released layout: add, the mic and the task chip on the left, and the filled model pill (Opus 5.5 · High) next to the round Send/Stop button. The CSS for that row, the DOM order and the middle dot are v0.4.8's. The message box and attachment insets stay main's: v0.4.8's wider inset wrapped the prompt placeholder onto a third line at 390x500 / 24px, and the prompt card lost the room prompt-dock-demo-regression checks. The things added since then stay: the Compact button, the notices and the strip.
  • A worktree's strip names its repository. herdr names a worktree's checkout folder after the branch with / turned into -, so in a linked worktree the strip said the same thing twice (worktree-lucky-forest-f1c8 … worktree/lucky-forest-f1c8). The folder's place now shows the repository (workspace.worktree.repo_name), still with the Worktree mark, and the title still holds the full path. Other workspaces keep showing the folder name.
  • Settings → Chat → Composer → "Folder and branch" turns the strip off. It is on by default, scoped to this device and not included in telemetry. Strings are translated in ko/ja/zh/tr.

The unreleased changelog line from #951 that described the t3code row now covers only the strip. A new fragment covers the repository name and the setting.

Validation

  • bun run typecheck, build and generated types: ok.
  • bun run test:unit: 3471 pass, 1 fail. The failure is server/voice.test.ts, the same one feat(composer): name the branch and mark a worktree in the strip under the message box #991 reported failing on main on this Mac. This PR touches nothing in server/ or shared/.
  • New unit tests: composerStrip with repo, worktreeRepoName, and showComposerStrip sanitizing.
  • scripts/composer-fit-demo-regression.ts: exit 0. Screenshots of the demo at 1280px and 390px show the same row as v0.4.8 (compared side by side).
  • scripts/prompt-dock-demo-regression.ts: exit 0 after the rebase onto fix(composer): never cut an attached file's path #872 (it failed in CI run 38532789259 from the inset above).
  • scripts/ui-regression.ts: the row-order assertion is restored to the v0.4.8 version. It was not run locally because it needs a live herdr test session.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The composer now shows the working folder and branch beneath the message box. For linked worktrees, it shows the repository name instead of the checkout folder.
    • You can hide this information with the Folder and branch setting under Settings → Chat → Composer.
  • Improvements
    • Composer controls now sit on the left, with status information and the Send/Stop button on the right. Model details appear in a filled pill, and the context indicator remains visible.
    • In compact layouts, reconnecting or uploading status appears on its own row.

The composer control order and status presentation are updated. Linked worktrees display their repository name in the composer strip. A new Composer setting controls whether the strip appears.

Changes: Composer layout

Composer controls and status presentation
src/components/Composer.tsx, src/components/Composer.css, DESIGN.md, src/lib/composerLabelFit.ts, scripts/ui-regression.ts, scripts/composer-fit-demo-regression.ts
Attachment, dictation, and background-task controls appear before status; Send/Stop remains on the right. Status alignment, model pill styling, and responsive spacing are updated. Regression checks cover the revised control order and narrower viewports.

Composer folder and branch strip

Layer / File(s) Summary
Linked-worktree repository naming
src/lib/composerStrip.ts, src/lib/composerStrip.test.ts, src/components/Composer.tsx, src/components/PaneTerminal.tsx, src/App.tsx, src/AGENTS.md
The repository name from a linked worktree is passed to the composer strip and used as its folder label. The strip retains the full path.
Composer strip setting
src/lib/settings.ts, src/components/SettingsDialog.tsx, src/lib/settings.test.ts, src/lib/i18n.*.ts, changelog.d/*
A Folder and branch setting controls the strip. It defaults to enabled, is device-scoped, and accepts boolean persisted values. Translations and changelog entries are added.

… repository in the strip

- The input card's last row is v0.4.8's again: add, the mic and the task chip on the left, the
  model pill (filled, a middle dot before the level) beside the round Send/Stop button.
- In a linked worktree the strip under the card names the repository (herdr's repo_name) in the
  folder's place: the checkout folder only repeated the branch at its other end.
- Settings > Chat > Composer > "Folder and branch" turns the strip off (device setting).

Restoring v0.4.8's row also restored its wider text inset (--space-5, --space-4 on a phone).
At 390x500 and a 24px chat font that wrapped the prompt placeholder onto a third line, so the
prompt card lost room and its confirm row covered option 1 (prompt-dock-demo-regression).
The inset is not part of the control row: keep main's.

devswha force-pushed the fix/composer-release-row branch from c079f23 to 6ebf568 Compare October 14, 2026 08:57
Restoring v0.4.8's row dropped main's rule for a narrow card with a sentence
(uploading, reconnecting, no room): the status content stayed in the middle
cell, about 50px wide at a 320px phone, so the pill could not hold its parts,
the sentence was clipped and the context ring covered Send. That rule is back
for the restored row: while a sentence shows, the status content takes the
card's width over add and the round button, from where the message starts.

The composer fit check now runs the pending-upload case at 320 and 330px too;
on the previous commit it failed at 330px.

Assert that the compact status row stays above the controls.

The pending-upload cases at 320px and 330px check visibility and overlap, but not vertical ordering. A layout change could move the status below the controls while these checks still pass. Add a bounding-box assertion for the documented ordering.

## Change

Switching tabs rebuilt everything each time: every switch tore down the
xterm and re-attached (`herdr terminal attach` spawns a new process,
~215 ms to content), and every chat switch drew "Loading conversation…"
and waited ~240 ms for a 304 although the client already held the body
(and read it twice).

- **Recent tabs stay mounted** (`PaneCanvas.tsx`,
`lib/paneTabCache.ts`): the current tab plus the three most recently
visited tabs on each PC canvas stay mounted under the same pane keys,
hidden, `aria-hidden`, `inert` and pointer-disabled at their last
geometry. Closed panes/tabs and older tabs drop out.
- **A hidden pane holds no pty** (`PaneTerminal.tsx`): a cached pane
detaches through the existing release path (no watch, no resize), keeps
its Terminal and screen, and re-attaches through the existing resume
path on return (no `term.reset()`, no new Terminal, no `--takeover`, no
replayed input). A pane retained for an outstanding submit keeps today's
behaviour until it settles. A pane that was released while the window is
away stays watch-only when it is presented again in the background.
- **Cached chat first** (`ChatView.tsx`, `api.ts`): on mount/switch
ChatView draws the last cached newest page (`peekPaneConversation`,
machine-bound) before paint and revalidates in the background; a 304 is
the same object and re-renders nothing. Hidden panes keep ChatView
mounted with `visible={false}`, which stops reads and
`conversation-watch`.
- **One read per switch**: a fresh attach's connected edge no longer
queues a second full conversation read while the mount read is in
flight; a real reconnect still refreshes.
- Not changed: answering an unchanged conversation with 304 before the
server's full read. Codex `/resume` can rebind a pane to an older thread
with no file or process signal, so a cheap validator cannot prove
"unchanged"; the cached-first draw hides that wait instead.
- Browser checks that assumed only one pane's DOM exists now scope to
`.pane-frame.is-current`; assertions are unchanged.

## Validation

Measured with a Playwright harness on an isolated herdr session (one
workspace, shell / Codex-transcript chat / shell tabs, 10 rounds = 30
switches per run). Not included in this PR.

| metric | before (3 runs) | after (2 runs) |
|---|---|---|
| terminal tab, time to content (warm median / p90) | 215–217 / 278–296
ms | 7.0–7.1 / 8–10 ms |
| chat tab, time to content (warm median / p90) | 237–241 / 246–341 ms |
8.7–9.0 / 10–13 ms |
| "Loading conversation…" shown | 10 / 10 chat switches | 1 (first
visit) |
| target xterm recreated | 30 / 30 | 2 / 30 (first visits) |
| ChatView mounts | 10 | 1 |
| conversation reads per chat switch | 2 | 1 |

- `bun run typecheck`: pass (also after rebasing onto #1033).
- Unit: 3477 pass, 1 fail — `server/voice.test.ts` "streams deltas and
the done text from a split SSE answer" (`clip.webm` vs `audio.webm`),
which fails identically on a clean `origin/main` checkout locally; this
PR does not touch `server/`.
- `bun run check integration browser` locally: every browser script
passes except `math-browser-qa.ts` and
`render-crash-demo-regression.ts`, and the integration lane fails only
`server/hermes.contract.test.ts`; all three fail identically on a clean
`origin/main` checkout here. `split-view` timed out once inside the lane
and passed on rerun.
- New unit tests: `src/lib/paneTabCache.test.ts`, conversation peek /
in-flight read tests in `src/lib/conversationFetch.test.ts`.

Contrast, Text smoothing, Panel motion, the UI and code fonts and Folder and branch never shipped (#951, #1033 are after v0.4.8), so their changelog fragments no longer add them and trim-settings removes only the five that shipped. Drops the pace text from the guide, removed settings from DESIGN.md's page list, a vacuous test, the contrast.ts credit and FontFamilyInput's unused placeholder prop.
