📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Pane selection invalidation now checks selection progress, revision parity, pane geometry, alternate-screen state, and selected cell symbols. Active drag selections remain visible when selected cells stay stable across a pane surface update. Absolute-anchor selections clear when surface content, dimensions, revisions, or alternate-screen state changes. A new test covers both preservation and invalidation cases.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cd3b7

The change preserves mouse selections during unrelated pane updates, but selections may remain active after the pane moves, resizes, or changes screen mode without a content update. This can produce incorrect selection behavior, so the validation should be corrected before merging.

Greptile Summary

The PR refines pane-surface reconciliation so an active mouse-selection gesture survives unrelated stable output while still being cancelled when selected text or relevant pane state changes.

• Adds absolute selection-row mapping into pane surface frames.
• Compares selected cell symbols across stable pane revisions.
• Invalidates gestures across unstable snapshots, geometry changes, and alternate-screen transitions.
• Adds regression coverage for preservation and invalidation boundaries.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no concrete correctness or security defects identified.

The new reconciliation logic follows the repository’s stable-revision semantics, uses the established absolute-row mapping, and conservatively clears selections whenever the selected cells cannot be verified as unchanged.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
src/client/shell/state.rs	Adds stable-snapshot and selected-cell checks to preserve active selection gestures without retaining them across invalidating pane changes.
src/client/shell/tests/mouse_selection.rs	Covers active-selection preservation for unrelated output and cancellation for selected-cell, geometry, alternate-screen, and unstable-revision changes.
