Change

Settings → Chat font size applies to the message box as well as the transcript and prompt cards. A mouse uses the transcript's scaled size; touch keeps a 16px floor and grows with larger sizes. The default remains 15px with a mouse and 16px on touch.

Changing the setting while a multiline draft exists remeasures the automatic input height after the CSS setting applies. Drafts remain intact, and heights chosen with the resize grip remain chosen. The setting description, translations, design documentation and Unreleased changelog describe the resulting behavior.

Validation

  • Final full unit suite on macOS with Bun 1.4.2: 1,458 passed, 15 skipped, 0 failed.
  • Generated type freshness, typecheck, production build and git diff check passed.
  • Full composer-fit-demo browser regression passed on isolated fictional demo fixtures.
  • Browser coverage checks default/selected computed sizes at 390px and 1440px, live size increases and decreases with an existing draft, preserved draft text, manual height preservation and returning to automatic height.
  • The new live-setting regression fails against the original PR head.
  • Required integration/browser CI runs against this PR's final commit before merge.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changed
    • The message box now follows the Chat font size setting. On touch screens, text stays at least 16px to help prevent iOS zoom.
    • When Chat font size or density changes, the message box adjusts to fit the existing draft if its height is automatic; manually set heights remain unchanged.
    • Updated the setting description in English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese to include the message box.

Walkthrough

The message box now uses chat-scaled font sizing. Touch input retains a 16px minimum. Automatic textarea height updates when chat font size or density changes.

Settings → Chat font size scaled the transcript and the prompt cards but not the
message box: with a mouse it stayed at --fs-chat, unscaled, although its comment says
it is typed at the size the transcript is read at. It now uses --fs-chat scaled by
--chat-scale, as ChatView.css does for the transcript's body text. On touch it keeps
--fs-input as its floor (iOS zoom) and grows with a chosen size above it.

composer-fit-demo-regression measures the box against the transcript's --chat-fs-body
at 390px (touch) and 1440px (mouse), with no size chosen and with 20px: with a mouse it
matches, on touch it is never under 16px, and with no size chosen it keeps 15px / 16px.
It fails on the previous CSS (390px at 20: box 16px, transcript 21.43px).
