fix(web): minimap preview no longer blocks selecting message text - #23462
juliusmarminge wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
… text Hovering the minimap widened its hit area to 22rem and made the preview card pointer-interactive, so it covered the start of the message column and a double-click there selected preview text instead of the response. The hit area now stays the navigation strip width and the preview is display-only. Drag-selection pass-through and keyboard navigation are unchanged.

Explanation
Issue
#16447requires selectable message text in Wide mode and minimap targets limited to the navigation strip.TimelineMinimap.tsxuseshitStripWidthfor the interactive strip, sets the preview topointer-events-none, and keeps preview dismissal on strip exit. The reported Wide recordings show message selection and link activation beneath the preview. The 81-test unit run and diagnostics provide additional regression evidence. No concrete coding requirement remains unmet.

Explanation
The production changes only adjust minimap hit testing, preview pointer behavior, and related event handling. The
issue-16447.pyand JSON files seed isolated synthetic projections for this UI verification. The updated fixture requires an explicit disposable marker and does not make provider calls or target live T3 data. These changes support issue#16447and no unrelated change is demonstrated.

Fixed in 49e0abba89. The seed now refuses before opening SQLite for writing unless its database-adjacent disposable marker contains the documented acknowledgement. Missing and invalid markers left the temporary database hash and original rows unchanged; the explicit opt-in seeded successfully. |
Problem
With Chat width set to Wide, hovering the message minimap opened a preview whose expanded pointer target covered response text. Moving onto that text and double-clicking selected the preview instead of the response underneath.
Change
Keep the minimap's pointer target within the measured navigation strip and make the preview ignore pointer events. Leaving the strip dismisses the preview, so response text remains selectable and links remain clickable. Preview text itself is no longer selectable.

Verification
Fixture safety follow-up: 49e0abba89 requires a database-adjacent
issue-16447-disposablemarker before opening SQLite for writing. Disposable-database checks confirmed missing/invalid markers refuse without changing database bytes or rows; a valid marker seeded successfully. Python compilation and formatting passed. All browser captures below remain from 366ec74; this follow-up changes only the fixture guard and its instructions, with identical production render code. Existing proof-audit limitations remain.cd apps/web && ../../node_modules/.bin/vp test run --project unit src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts: 81 passed; existing timeline regression checks, not proof of minimap pointer behavior.TimelineMinimap.tsxandMessagesTimeline.logic.ts: passed.node_modules/.bin/effect-tsgo diagnostics --project apps/web/tsconfig.json --format text: 0 errors, 0 warnings; 17 existing suggestions.git diff --check origin/main...HEAD: passed.Evidence
Primary Wide recordings reproduce the bug on the merge-base and show message-owned selection and successful underlying link clicks on the fixed head in both themes. The lead also repeated Wide selection and strip navigation in a separate 1280×800 CSS-viewport real-app check. This is capture proof; no implementation-shaped test was added.

Rendering environment and fixture
T3 collaborative Browser panel via preview tools only; Chrome 154.0.0.0, Linux x86_64, fine pointer=true, coarse=false, DPR=2. Desktop viewport: measured 1440×900 CSS pixels; video frames 2880×1800. Saved desktop snapshot PNGs are preview-tool-downscaled to 1280×800; this does not mean the CSS viewport was 1280×800. Video-derived primary keyframes are explicitly scaled to 1440×900. Narrow viewport: 390×844 CSS, saved PNG 780×1688. Interface root font 16px; browser scale not changed, text scale 100%. Reduced motion was not emulated. Theme was changed through the normal persisted appearance-mode preference and storage notification; chat width through
updateClientSettings, the same settings update path used by the UI. No VITE origin overrides were set.Fixed committed fixture: issue-16447.py, issue-16447.json. Synthetic-only worktree
.t3projections, retained across serialized server/checkout switches; copied identical scripts into the temporary base checkout without committing. Same origin/environment and fixture data on both sides. Long thread has 80 user turns, assistant prose, links, and reasoning rows; all 80 loaded for desktop long captures. Narrow control loads 10 of the same 80 turns, sufficient for the ≥2-item path. No live userdata writes or requested provider turns. Startup logged zero resumed/requeued provider work. The fixture is a UI projection seed tied to this SHA, not proof of backend/event behavior; rebuilding projections would replace it.Evidence matrix
Interaction recordings
Script: hover first/middle/last minimap marks, move onto covered response text, double-click, click the reference link, wheel, focus/blur, drag across the rail, then keyboard and intentional rail navigation. Light: selection at 5.8s Before / 5.2s After; link result at 17.0s / 7.1s. Dark: selection action at 4.3s / 4.7s and link result at 5.6s / 6.0s (Before / After). Exact steps/timestamps for every recording are in the linked full evidence index.
Desktop rows below use the measured 1440×900 viewport in their named light/dark theme; M rows use 390×844. Saved snapshots are downscaled as described above. N/Z/C mismatches are unverified regression evidence, not clean comparisons.
Paired keyframes and pixel differences
Zero threshold: absolute RGB difference, amplified ×8 and clipped at 255; every nonzero channel counts. Stated threshold: maximum absolute RGB channel delta >16/255, magenta changed pixels on black, no spatial tolerance. No alignment, masking, crop, or content replacement. Saved snapshots are compared at their original tool-delivered size. Video-derived frames use the same 1440×900 scaling on both sides; lossy video compression contributes to differences. Thresholding does not prove interaction behavior. N/Z and scroll-changing frames deliberately retain mismatches and must not be described as invariant.
light-W-video-*rows are inspected video-derived semantic states; all other rows are original snapshot calls and may lag the completed action.3b95e7831b

What else changed visibly
Observed intended differences: the preview stops retaining pointer ownership in its former expanded footprint; preview text selection is replaced by the underlying paragraph selection; the underlying link receives the click; pointer exit clears the hover preview; keyboard focus ring is restricted to the actual strip rather than the old expanded 22rem region. Preview position, title/body, and fisheye are visible in the hover recordings. Snapshot calls sometimes show the previous compositor state, so a missing preview in an isolated snapshot is not itself treated as a render regression. Video-derived primary states distinguish that capture lag from the behavior being tested.
Other visible variation retained in the artifacts: selection highlight and selected word, hover/focus bands and ring state, scroll offset and visible message following wheel/drag/keyboard navigation, disabled endpoint controls sampled during navigation, and the N/Z supplement label/padding/content wrap. Earlier recovery captures show a provider update/status toast and open details panel; these were dismissed/closed before the delivered primary paragraph-41 set. Sidebar age/status metadata and transient render/animation/compression differences can contribute to diffs. No unrelated implementation change was made. Clean primary paragraph-41 layout can be judged in the initial Wide states, but the evidence does not establish zero unrelated pixel change across every interaction frame.
Independent audit
Both final code reviewers returned MERGE with no production defects. The independent proof audit verified all 317 local artifacts and exact arithmetic for all 67 diff pairs, and found the primary Wide selection/link proof supported. Its verdict is INSUFFICIENT for D, N20/N8, Z, C2, M-coarse and independent recapture. Those checks remain unverified; this PR does not claim exhaustive visual sign-off.

Takeover
No code changes; evidence and verification added below. The original description, author credit, fixture-safety follow-up and valid primary Wide evidence are preserved. Capture-only work used isolated synthetic state and changed no branch or implementation.

New interaction pairs compare BEFORE 3b95e7831b with AFTER 366ec74cf8. The subsequent fixture-guard-only 49e0abba89 has identical production render code and its own independent Wide still below. Earlier recordings retain their original revision labels and are not current-head recordings. Final evidence verdict: INSUFFICIENT.

Verification log — evidence recovery
Both fresh proof passes returned INSUFFICIENT for the rows above. Independent arithmetic checks passed for both diff outputs and counts of all23 new pairs: absolute per-channel RGB×8/clipped, and strict maximum-channel >16/255 magenta masks, no alignment/masking/cropping. Visible differences include preview/focus changes, sidebar/status/age content, unmatched BEFORE provider toast, selection and scroll changes, and stale compositor snapshots. No AA-only or unrelated-pixel-invariance claim. The new Space calls failed; passive preview-presence flag was nonspecific and is not proof. Encoded samples and other logs are qualified in the audit.
