Problem

A quote chip in a sent message opens a popover with the quoted text, your comment and Go to source. The same chip in the composer draft cannot show the quote at all. Clicking its label leaves the draft to jump to the source, and the pencil opens a box with only the comment. Before sending, you cannot see the quote and what you wrote about it together. #19476 describes the same pain.

Change

Clicking a draft quote chip (label or pencil) now opens the sent chip's popover: the quote, the comment, and Go to source. The only difference is that the comment is a textarea, focused with the caret at its end, styled to read like the sent comment. Enter saves, Cmd/Ctrl+Enter saves and sends, Escape cancels, clicking outside saves, as before.

  • The chip itself looks the same, pixel for pixel. It is now one button that triggers the popover, with the pencil kept as a visual cue.
  • Right after you select text in a reply, the comment box still opens under the highlighted text with its Save and Cancel buttons, without the quote, since the quote is already highlighted on screen.
  • Sent and draft popovers share one body (AssistantCitationDetails). The comment editor gains an inline mode with no box and no buttons.
  • The editor sits outside the quote's scroll area and its height is capped, so a long quote or comment cannot push the focused field out of view. Escape is handled on the whole popup, so Escape from Go to source still removes a just-inserted quote.
  • The composer prop on AssistantCitationChip is gone. The presence of commentEditor already says it is a draft.

Web and desktop only. Mobile has its own composer and is untouched.

Scope and approval

There is no maintainer approval yet. #19476 asks for the same outcome (quote and comment visible together before sending) through numbered cards above the input, and has no maintainer response. This PR is a smaller alternative that reuses the existing sent chip popover. I'm opening it so the working change can be judged next to that proposal, and I'm happy to close it if the direction isn't wanted.

Verification

Browser tests in AssistantCitationChip.browser.test.tsx:

  • Clicking a draft chip shows the quote and Go to source, focuses the comment with the caret at its end, shows no Save button, and Enter saves the edit.
  • A long quote and a long comment keep the focused field and its caret in view. Fails without the change.
  • Escape from Go to source cancels a just-inserted quote. Fails without the change.
  • Go to source saves the draft first, and stays on the page while an over-length comment or a failed save keeps the popup open. Fails without the change.
  • Existing tests for a draft surviving its source disappearing now save with Enter, since the popup then moves onto the chip view.

vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests).

Manual check in a dev build (dark theme). Before, the pencil opens the comment alone:

Before: the pencil opens the comment alone

After, clicking the chip opens the quote with the comment ready to edit:

After: the quote, the editable comment and Go to source

The resting chip is unchanged after rebasing on the chip restyle (#25066): main on top, this branch below, same 259.97 × 16.5 px box and zero differing pixels.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This PR changes the draft citation interaction and adds a new inline quote/comment editing flow, including focus, dismissal, and source-navigation behavior. The implementation is localized and tested, but the existing composer behavior changes in a user-visible way that merits human review.

Walkthrough

The citation chip renders citation details or comment editing based on whether commentEditor is provided. Comment editing supports inline display, keyboard submission, cancellation, and draft-aware source navigation.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Gate source navigation on draft settlement.

canLeave currently checks only the comment length. A changed, length-valid draft therefore reaches navigate(...). PopoverClose can then call onOpenChange(false), but eventDetails.cancel() only cancels the popover state. It cannot undo navigation.

In production, onSaveComment can return false when the composer becomes non-editable while the citation popover remains open. Settle the draft at this boundary and prevent Base UI from closing the popover when settlement fails.

@coderabbitai On the outside-diff finding (gate source navigation on draft settlement): fixed in e86fdae. Go to source now saves the draft before navigating and stays on the page when the save fails, the popup staying open with the draft. Covered by "stays on the page when saving the draft fails", which fails without the fix. I left out preventBaseUIHandler: whichever click handler runs first, a failed save also cancels the popover close, so it is not needed.

The draft chip in the composer now opens the same popover as a sent quote
chip: the quoted text, the comment, and Go to source. The comment is a
focused textarea with the caret at its end. The chip itself looks the same.
Right after a selection, the comment box still opens under the highlighted
text on its own.
