Problem

Since #819 a phone shows a split tab one pane at a time and keeps the other panes mounted behind it at the full canvas. In the terminal lens those hidden panes fitted to the phone and sent resize (and attached without keep_size), so the shared ptys of panes the phone was not even showing shrank to the phone's size. A PC browser drawing the same split saw them at the phone's geometry.

Change

  • New PaneShownContext (src/lib/paneSubmitContext.ts): PaneCanvas passes false for a pane a phone hides behind the one it shows (alone !== null && alone !== pane).
  • PaneTerminal sizes the pty only when presented and shown (sizesPty()): every resize path (role ack, ResizeObserver, refit on focus, font load, narrow-font fit, lens switch) checks it, and attaches from a hidden pane carry keep_size.
  • When a hidden pane is shown again it fits and sends a forced resize, as the switch back from the chat lens does; when it is hidden it marks keepSize for reconnects.

Tests

  • New scripts/phone-split-grid-demo-regression.ts (demo app, phone): records the socket's frames; turning the phone resizes the shown pane but the hidden one sends nothing; shown again from the tab menu, it takes the pty at the phone's columns. Fails without the fix ("the hidden pane sends no resize"). Added to ci-browser.sh (lane count 36 → 37).
  • bun run check fast, tab-menu-regression, mobile-tabs-regression, ui-regression, mobile-viewport-regression pass.
  • narrow-pane-demo-regression fails locally at "a split under 80 columns" on main too (82 columns at 1450px on this machine's fonts); unrelated to this change.

… pty

A phone shows a split tab one pane at a time and keeps the other panes
mounted behind it at the full canvas (#819). They fitted and resized
their shared ptys to the phone's screen, so a PC browser drawing the
split saw those panes at the phone's size. A hidden pane now attaches
with keep_size and sends no resize; shown again, it fits and takes the
pty, as a switch back from the chat lens does.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • On phones and touch screens, system Back now closes an open actions menu without returning to the previously opened pane. Dismissing a menu with Cancel, a swipe, or a menu item no longer adds an extra Back step.
    • When a pane is shown alone, its actions are available in the tab’s ellipsis menu; split panes on wide touch screens retain their own menus.
    • Hidden panes in split tabs retain their terminal size while hidden and resize to the phone’s screen when shown again. Pane sizes on a PC displaying the split remain unchanged.
📝 Summary

Walkthrough

The change tracks whether a split pane is shown and uses that state to control PTY sizing and attach options. It adds browser regression coverage for viewport changes, reconnects, pane switching, and pinch gestures, and runs the regression in browser CI.

Changes

Phone Split-Pane PTY Sizing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track pane visibility
src/lib/paneSubmitContext.ts, src/components/PaneCanvas.tsx, src/components/PaneTerminal.tsx
PaneCanvas provides a shown-state context. PaneTerminal combines that state with presentation state to decide when a pane can size its PTY.
Preserve PTY sizing while panes are hidden
src/components/PaneTerminal.tsx
Resize and refit paths now require the pane to be shown. Hidden panes keep their PTY size when hidden or attached, then refit and resize when shown.
Verify pane sizing in browser CI
scripts/phone-split-grid-demo-regression.ts, scripts/ci-browser.sh, scripts/ci-browser.test.ts, CHANGELOG.md
The browser regression checks sizing across viewport changes, reconnects, pane switching, and pinch completion. Browser CI runs the regression, and the changelog describes the phone split-pane behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b901e

An interrupted render can briefly cause a pane to issue or miss a terminal resize using the wrong visibility state. Other inspected resize paths are guarded, so the remaining merge risk is limited.

A pinch begun on the shown pane and finished after a switch hid it
resized the shared pty and cleared keepSize; it now checks sizesPty()
like every other resize path. The regression now also reconnects twice
to check keep_size on attach for the hidden pane, compares rows as well
as columns, and checks a pinch that ends hidden.

## Change

Release 0.4.8, from main at ca6db6e (20 PRs since v0.4.7: the 0.4.7
mobile walk-through fixes, two contributor PRs and the revived #793).

- `package.json` and `herdr-plugin.toml`: 0.4.8.
- CHANGELOG: `[Unreleased]` becomes `[0.4.8] - 2026-10-12`, with the
compare links. Twelve entries that had no PR link get theirs (#835 #837
#838 #840 #842 #843 #844+#848 #845 #847 #849 #851 #852). A Maintenance
line says the remote-PC runtime is now version 27.
- `release-summaries.json`: 0.4.8 in en/ko/ja/zh/tr (3 new, 6 improved,
8 fixed). The Turkish lines are not checked by a native speaker.
- `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` 26 -> 27: #836 adds the `pending-hold` server
feature and #787 serves precompressed assets, so `remote-v27` is
published before the app release.

Every PR merged since v0.4.7 is linked in the section: #787 #788 #793
#835 #836 #837 #838 #839 #840 #841 #842 #843 #844 #845 #846 #847 #848
#849 #851 #852.

## Validation

- `bun scripts/release-notes.ts 0.4.8` renders the summaries and the
full changelog (116 lines).
- `bun run check fast`: generated types, typecheck, build and 2800+ unit
tests pass.

## Release

After this merges and its CI on `main` passes: push `remote-v27`, wait
for its release, then run the Release workflow with `0.4.8`.
