Agent turns reset the active diff scope to Changes and sent review scroll back to the top. Preserve the selected scope and scroll position across same-review refreshes, including pull request reviews, by keeping the viewer mounted and retaining loaded content while updates arrive.

Validation: 163 focused tests passed, web typecheck clean, and local browser verification.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a cross-cutting production UI state-retention fix spanning chat scope selection, diff caching/rendering, viewer mounting, and pull-request pagination, with substantial new asynchronous state logic. Unresolved High and Medium findings concern stale later pages and refresh failures that can leave stale content without retry/error feedback.

Not approved because:

  • 2 blocking correctness issues found at or above your repo's Minimum Blocking Severity

No code changes detected at 235201f. Prior analysis still applies.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ChatView now applies diff-scope selection rules for thread changes, explicit timeline selections, and diff openings. Review-file patches and pull-request diff slices retain displayed content during refreshes when their review scope matches.

Changes

Chat diff scope selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define diff scope reset rules
apps/web/src/components/ChatView.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/ChatView.logic.test.ts
Selectors determine when to select Changes and when to preserve the current selection. Tests cover diff openings, thread changes, explicit timeline selections, and closed diffs.
Apply scope rules in ChatView
apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx
ChatView tracks the previous thread and diff-open state. Generic openings select Changes when reset conditions are met. Proactive openings select Changes only when opening a diff that the user was not already reviewing.

Diff content retention

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retain review-file patch content
apps/web/src/components/diffs/reviewFileDiffRetention.ts, apps/web/src/components/diffs/useReviewFilePatches.ts, apps/web/src/components/DiffPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/diffs/reviewFileDiffRetention.test.ts
Retention helpers and the patch hook preserve loaded files and requested indices by review family. DiffPanel uses the family in its viewer key. Tests cover identity, file selection, and loaded-file retention.
Retain pull-request diff slices
apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestDiff.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestCodeTab.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestDiff.logic.test.ts
The slice-state helper retains displayed slices for the same review key and clears them when the key changes. PullRequestCodeTab uses it during refresh. Tests cover both cases.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: maria-rcks

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 871bd

The change keeps the selected review tab, scroll position and loaded diff content across agent turns and refreshes. No merge-blocking issue was identified in the supplied review material.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 871bd

The change primarily preserves review continuity. A conditional concern remains: pull-request content is not keyed by environment, so refresh can prolong content from a previous environment if the same review identity survives the switch. No expanded server authority or unauthorized access was established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · inferred: Pull-request slice retention uses a review-and-commit identity that excludes environmentId. If the active tab survives an environment switch with the same identity, the new refresh behavior preserves its previous first slice rather than clearing it. This can prolong stale content under the current environment's review controls, particularly while revalidation is pending or unsuccessful. The identity omission is pre-existing; the potentially worsened behavior is retention during refresh. Cross-environment exploitation or unauthorized access was not established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The supported concern is bounded to retained content in an already-open web review. It requires a surviving component and identical review identity across environments. The inspected change does not add credentials, server privileges, or a new network destination.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A conditional integrity path exists if previous-environment slices survive a same-identity switch: retained code can remain selectable through existing review and agent-selection controls while the current query uses the new environment. This is not a verified unauthorized-read or privilege-escalation path, and runtime reachability remains unresolved.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Requests remain environment-scoped. Inline review controls intersect host capabilities with viewer permissions, and commenting is restricted to the whole-change scope rather than an individual commit. These controls constrain action authority but do not supply the missing environment dimension in retained display identity.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The query adapter exposes retained asynchronous values alongside failure and pending status. The pull-request consumer preserves already-loaded content and stops automatic pagination after failure. End-to-end cancellation and concurrent-response ordering were not verified.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Include environment in pull-request retained-state identity and reset associated selections and drafts when that identity changes. This would align displayed content ownership with the environment-scoped query boundary.

🟠 High pullRequest/PullRequestCodeTab.tsx:437

A refresh can leave later diff pages permanently stale: if only a file on a later page changed, the unchanged first page makes the slice update return previous, while nextCursor remains null after all old pages were loaded, so those files are never refetched. Clear the retained slices on refresh so pagination restarts from the first page.

Fixed in 871bd17. A refresh keeps the first page on screen and drops every later page, then asks for each of those pages again. An unchanged first page no longer leaves the rest of the diff in place. Clearing the first page too would send the reader back to the top, which is the bug this change is fixing.

🟡 Medium pullRequest/PullRequestCodeTab.tsx:437

When the retained diff's first-page refresh fails, the stale diff remains visible with no error message or retry control. loadedSlices is still nonempty and its final slice has nextCursor === null, so the empty-state error is skipped and renderCodeViewFooter returns null; preserve and surface the refresh error separately so the user can retry.

Leaving this. A finished diff stays on screen when a refresh fails: the footer already skips that case so a reconnect does not tell the reader files are missing, and the pull request Refresh action retries. While a later page is still owed, the existing "could not be loaded" retry is unchanged.

An agent turn rebuilds the thread shell, and the completed-turn path always
selected Changes. A review left on Uncommitted therefore snapped back on every
turn. Keep the current scope while the diff stays open on the same thread, and
select Changes only when the diff newly opens.
A new diff hash remounted the viewer and dropped the pages already on screen, so an agent turn sent the reader back to the top of Uncommitted, Changes, and pull request review.

A refresh that left the first page unchanged never fetched the pages after it, and a failed file patch stayed on screen as the current diff.
