Composer file mentions lack the shared file actions available in file lists and diffs. Pointer and keyboard context-menu actions now use the same host menu, scoped to the composer's environment and worktree, while normal preview clicks keep their existing behavior.

The menu accepts only supported workspace-relative file mentions after a live file lookup. Missing bridges, empty host actions and directory mentions preserve native fallback. A newer interaction invalidates pending lookups even when it falls back, preventing an older file's menu from opening afterward. Directory mentions keep their trailing separator through web/mobile serialization and avoid being treated as files; this does not add native mobile file menus.

The carried proposal document was removed. #12683 remains separate; absolute/UNC resolver extensions and unrelated chat-chip parity remain outside this contribution, including #11859.

Verification after integrating upstream main 35be904, using Node24.13.1:

  • 77 focused tests across five suites passed and were independently repeated.
  • The actual production callback passes all three deferred-lookup regressions—directory, empty actions and missing bridge—after failing all three before the repair. This is controlled callback proof, not mounted UI proof.
  • Web/mobile typechecks and full scoped lint/format passed; web typecheck and affected style checks repeated after the final callback repair. Lint warnings remain.
  • Fresh independent GPT-6.1 Sol review of the complete 13-file candidate found no actionable findings after the repair.

Current before/after UI proof remains missing for ContextChip pointer/keyboard events, native fallback/menu ordering, missing files and mobile directory handling. The historical images below predate the integration and new race repairs.

The original comparison used base d6f2913 and an older candidate in an isolated web app. Its contextmenu event was dispatched through DOM evaluation. It does not verify physical right-click delivery, the current callback repair or native mobile behavior.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This change adds a new composer context-menu workflow that verifies mentioned files and can open or reveal them through native host actions, alongside cross-platform directory-mention behavior changes. Its asynchronous lookup, host integration, and web/shared/mobile runtime surface are broader than a routine bug fix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Composer file mentions resolve to workspace-relative file targets before opening the shared file menu. The mention chip preserves the native menu when the shared menu cannot open. Web and mobile code distinguish directory mentions from file mentions and trim trailing separators when computing labels.

Changes

Composer mention menu

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mention target contract and validation
apps/web/src/components/composerContextPresentation.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/composerMentionMenuTarget.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/composerMentionMenuTarget.test.ts
The action contract returns whether a menu appeared. The resolver returns targets for valid file mentions and rejects missing ownership, blank paths, directories, and unsupported paths. Tests cover these cases.
Composer menu wiring
apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.tsx
ChatComposer checks local menu availability, resolves mention targets, returns false when no menu appears, and preserves directory identity with a trailing slash. The Tiptap mention chip only prevents native event handling when the menu opens.
Directory path handling and labels
packages/shared/src/composerTrigger.ts, packages/shared/src/composerInlineTokens.ts, packages/shared/src/composerInlineTokens.test.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/composerContext.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/composerContext.test.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadFeed.tsx, apps/mobile/src/native/T3ComposerEditor.ios.tsx, apps/mobile/src/native/T3ComposerEditor.native.tsx, docs/internals/consistency-file-actions.md
Shared path handling trims trailing separators for basename checks and rejects empty basenames. Mobile mention parsing and link handling exclude directory paths, and attachment labels trim trailing separators. The documentation describes shared actions for live workspace-file references.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c8f00

When no file actions are available, using the menu on a composer file mention hides the native context menu without showing the shared menu. This is a narrow usability issue to fix or accept before merging.

Composer mentions of directories serialize with a trailing separator so
the shared file menu can refuse live-file actions for them, but the
inline token parser computed link basenames without trimming that
separator. The label then never matched the basename, so a restored
draft dropped the chip back to raw markdown. Trim separators the same
way serializeComposerFileLink does and reject paths that name no file.

…routes

Directory mentions like [src](src/) now parse as chips, but two native
call sites broke on the trailing separator:

- T3ComposerEditor.native.tsx / .ios.tsx computed the chip label with a
  local basename() that returns "" for a path ending in a separator, so
  the chip showed only its icon.
- composerMentionPath let a directory path reach the mobile file route,
  which calls readFile; the server rejects a directory with
  path_not_file.

Trim the separator only when deriving the native label (the web mention
path and native action target keep the original value), and have
composerMentionPath return null for a directory path so the shared
mobile press path skips navigation instead of routing to a request the
server would refuse.

Return false when the menu has no actions.

A valid mention target can reach this callback while serverConfig is undefined or while availableEditors is empty. In that case, buildFileContextMenuItems returns an empty list and useFileContextMenu.show returns without displaying a menu. The callback still returns true, so the Tiptap handler suppresses the browser-native context menu.

The composer already refuses to navigate for a directory mention
(trailing separator) because mobile has no route for one and the file
screen's readFile call would get path_not_file back from the server.
Mention chips inside already-sent messages went through a different
path (UserMessageContent's onLinkPress, calling
linkHandlers.onLinkPress directly with record.path) and skipped that
guard, so tapping a directory mention in a sent message still
dead-ended on the file screen.

Extract the directory check from composerMentionPath into an exported
isDirectoryMentionPath helper and reuse it in both places instead of
duplicating the check.

🟡 Minor · Check the computed menu items before suppressing the native menu. · ChatComposer.tsx:1639-1646

apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx:1639-1646
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Check the computed menu items before suppressing the native menu.

A valid workspace-file target can be created while serverConfig is unavailable or advertises no usable actions. In that case, buildFileContextMenuItems returns an empty array. mentionMenu.show then returns without calling the bridge, but showMentionMenu returns true, so Tiptap suppresses the native menu.

The historical menu captures predate the current lookup and fallback repairs. The PR explicitly lacks current UI proof for pointer and keyboard menus, fallback ordering and mobile directory mentions. Closing under the verification rule. Add current before/after captures and a short recording of those interactions, then request reconsideration.
