Stacked on #36608 (mobile SVG + pinch zoom), which is stacked on #36576. Merge in order.

ELI5

On the phone, a Mermaid diagram in Markdown is shrunk to the screen width, so its labels are unreadable. It now has an expand button, and tapping the diagram works too. Either opens it full screen, where you can pinch, drag and double-tap to zoom. The same viewer now handles Markdown and chat images. Pinching those used to zoom the whole page and push the close button off screen.

What Changed

Linked Issue

Fixes #25274

Visual Proof

iOS 26 simulator, real WKWebView in the Orca dev client, paired to a host built from this branch. Pinches are real two-finger touches.

Before: the Mermaid flowchart in a Markdown preview, shrunk to the column:

before

After: expanded (fit), then pinched. The labels, which Mermaid draws as HTML foreignObject, render inside the image:

expanded pinched

Markdown image lightbox before (the pinch zoomed the page and the close button went off screen) and after (only the image zooms; close stays put):

lightbox before lightbox after

Testing

  • mobile-web-app-mermaid-render.test.mjs builds the real component and runs on Chromium and WebKit. The new case clicks Expand diagram and checks the viewer shows a data:image/svg+xml image at a real size, with no CSP violation or console error. The harness now has a SafeAreaProvider like the app root. SVG counts are scoped to Mermaid's own drawings (svg[aria-roledescription]), because the expand icon is an SVG too. All 10 cases pass.

  • The expanded image is the drawing re-serialized as XML. The inline SVG is HTML-serialized, and an   in a label would otherwise leave a blank image (found in a third Codex review). The render case uses a #nbsp; label, and it fails without the fix on both engines.

  • On the iOS simulator I checked expand, pinch, close, and the Markdown image lightbox pinch.

  • Mobile typecheck and the affected suites pass (227 files, 1,878 tests).

  • Not tested: a physical phone and an Android emulator (none installed).

  • I manually tested these changes locally

  • Automated tests added/updated, or explained why not below

Review comments at @mobile/src/components/pr-sidebar/MermaidDiagram.tsx:
- Line 33: **Clear expansion when the source changes.**

If `source` changes while the viewer is open, `drawnSvg` becomes null and the
viewer closes. When the new render calls `setDrawn`, the retained `expanded`
value opens the viewer again without a new user action. Reset `expanded` when
`source` changes so an asynchronous update cannot reopen the modal.

Review comments at
@mobile/src/session/native-chat/visual/MobileNativeChatImageViewer.tsx:
- Around line 33-35: **Native chat and Markdown image lightboxes mount DOM
elements in the React Native tree.**

`MobileNativeChatImageViewer` now renders `MobilePanZoomImage` in place of the
React Native `Image`. That component returns a lowercase `div` that contains an
`img`. Native chat and Markdown callers mount this viewer from the React Native
tree. React Native creates host instances for `div` and `img` through
`ReactNativeViewConfigRegistry.get`. That function throws when no view config is
registered for the name. This repository registers neither name, and
`MobilePanZoomImage` has no native variant.

Opening a chat image, or expanding a Markdown image preview, can therefore throw
during mount on native builds. The native lightbox needs a React Native view
implementation. The DOM implementation should stay limited to the WebView path.

<details>
<summary>Suggested fix</summary>

Provide a React Native view implementation for the native lightboxes, and keep
`MobilePanZoomImage` for DOM and WebView callers.

Walkthrough

Mermaid diagrams in the mobile preview can now open in an expanded viewer. The component serializes the rendered SVG and passes it to MobileNativeChatImageViewer, which renders it with MobilePanZoomImage. New translated labels support the diagram controls. Browser tests cover diagram selection, viewer image loading and dimensions, CSP violations, and console errors.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 9a0ef

Opening images can fail in native lightboxes, and Mermaid viewers can reopen unexpectedly. Both should be fixed before merging.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes the ELI5 summary, user-facing changes, linked issue, visual proof, testing details, and known test limitations. It omits the explicit Why, AI Disclosure, Review, Notes, Agent skill upstream boundary, and Checklist sections, but the core description is complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The active direct issue is #25274. MermaidDiagram stores the current rendered SVG, adds an accessible Expand diagram control, and opens the drawing in MobileNativeChatImageViewer. The viewer uses MobilePanZoomImage, which supports fit, pinch, drag, and double-tap zoom. The SVG uses its intrinsic size and upscale, so large diagrams can be inspected without clipping. The browser test expands a real diagram and verifies a loaded, nonzero-size data:image/svg+xml image in Chromium and WebKit. Issue #8731 is closed and supplies historical context only.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain connected to #25274. The shared image viewer change is required because the expanded Mermaid diagram uses MobileNativeChatImageViewer; its size and upscale props enable correct SVG sizing and zoom. The image lightbox update also prevents page zoom for the same shared viewer. Localization, rendering-test changes, and SVG serialization support the Mermaid feature. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 3 files.

Clear expansion when the source changes.

When the new render calls setDrawn, the retained expanded value opens the viewer again without a new user action. Reset expanded when source changes so an asynchronous update cannot reopen the modal.

Native chat and Markdown image lightboxes mount DOM elements in the React Native tree.

MobileNativeChatImageViewer now renders MobilePanZoomImage in place of the React Native Image. That component returns a lowercase div that contains an img. Native chat and Markdown callers mount this viewer from the React Native tree. React Native creates host instances for div and img through ReactNativeViewConfigRegistry.get. That function throws when no view config is registered for the name. This repository registers neither name, and MobilePanZoomImage has no native variant.

Opening a chat image, or expanding a Markdown image preview, can therefore throw during mount on native builds. The native lightbox needs a React Native view implementation. The DOM implementation should stay limited to the WebView path.

Suggested fix

Provide a React Native view implementation for the native lightboxes, and keep MobilePanZoomImage for DOM and WebView callers.
