fix(web): reveal expanded work rows hidden behind the composer - #21968
ln-bodicherla wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
When a tool call or thinking row near the bottom of the timeline is expanded while the list is not pinned to the end, visible-position anchoring holds the row still and its new content grows under the composer overlay. After the disclosure settles, scroll just enough to bring the expanded row above the composer, without moving its header past the top inset. Fixes pingdotgg#21967

ApprovabilityVerdict: Approved at Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused web scrolling bug fix that adjusts only user-triggered expansion behavior near the composer, preserving pinned and unrelated disclosure paths. The pure scroll calculation and end-to-end behavior are covered by tests, with no schema, deployment, security, billing, or default-setting impact. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules.

The timeline masks the last 0.75rem above the composer, so revealing a row only to the composer edge left its final line faded out.

Before/after screenshots. Same thread and scroll position: the "Search workspace" tool call sits just above the composer and is then expanded.
Before, the header stays in place and the tool input is hidden behind the composer. After, the timeline scrolls just enough that the whole expanded input sits above the composer and its fade, with the header still in view. These render the real |

Explanation
The description explains the problem, fix, scope, verification results, intermittent test behavior, and unverified environments. It uses "## Fix" instead of the template's "## Change" heading and does not include a separate "## Scope and approval" heading, but it provides the required scope-exception rationale and is otherwise complete.

Explanation
The changes satisfy the coding requirements in issue
#21967.MessagesTimelinecallsresolveDisclosureRevealScrollDeltaafter the existing two-frame disclosure settle. The helper reveals content above the composer and fade, limits upward movement so the row header remains withinCHAT_TIMELINE_ANCHOR_OFFSET, and supports rows taller than the usable viewport. The behavior applies to expanding work-row disclosures and preserves existing behavior for collapse, end-pinned timelines, turn folds, and attempt folds. Scrolling respects reduced-motion preferences. The PR adds a browser regression test and unit tests for the scroll-delta cases.

Replace the fixed delays with a frame-aware condition wait.
The scrollTop update is synchronous, but lazy row measurement is not. A slow runner can complete the 200 ms delays before the layout settles, leaving the header below the composer when the assertion runs.
Wait through the list's frame-based layout update before checking the position. Keep the adjustment inside the retry callback. An immediate assertion after the scroll would pass before the lazy measurement runs and would not solve the timing issue.

Fixes #21967
Problem
If a tool call or thinking row sits just above the composer and the timeline is not pinned to the very end, expanding it leaves the new content behind the composer. Visible-position anchoring keeps the toggled row still (
shouldRestoreVisibleContentPosition), andpinDisclosureToEndonly runs when the list is already at the end. Nothing checks whether the expanded content is still visible abovecomposerOverlayHeight, so you have to scroll up by hand to read it.Fix
After a work-row disclosure settles (the existing two-frame settle in
scheduleDisclosureSettle),revealExpandedDisclosuremeasures the toggled row. If its bottom is under the composer overlay, it scrolls just enough to show it, but never moves the row header above the top anchor inset. A row taller than the usable viewport therefore stays readable from its header.resolveDisclosureRevealScrollDelta, intimelineScrollAnchoring.ts.collapsedargument is unchanged, soonToolOutputCollapsedAtEndbehaves as before.timeline-scroll-bottom-fadeapplies above the composer, so the last line is not left faded out.This fits the small-fix exception: one defect, a single code path in
