The composer seat is one node laid out against two different edges: in Chat it
is a sticky child of the column's scroller and rides its content box, which a
space-consuming scrollbar shortens, while a view declaring a composer overlay
gets an absolutely positioned seat against the padding box, which no bar
reduces. With the transcript scrolling the two tabs disagreed by the bar's
width, so the centred input card moved 4px sideways on every switch — and the
same 4px inside Chat when a growing transcript began to scroll.
The column now reserves its scrollbar gutter unconditionally and states the
overlay branch a scroll container on the same axes, so both states measure
against the same width.
#1381 landed the bar's horizontal position; this branch decides when it is
drawn. The e2e keeps both scenarios and the golden carries both palettes'
pointer-state readings alongside the new edge-offset lines.
Review findings from the first round:
- ui-settings renders its full-viewport panel as a fixed-position DESCENDANT
of the sidebar column, so `pointerleave` never fires when the pointer moves
onto it and the bars stayed drawn after it closed. Leaving is now decided
against the column's box from a document-level pointermove that exists only
while the bars are drawn; the element's own leave stays for the pointer that
leaves the window.
- The rebind gate judges the rule rather than each declaration, so a pair that
mixes `transparent` with an l2 hover no longer passes, and the elevation
half compares whole values instead of token shape.
- Hiding no longer exempts a sheet from the elevated-surface rebind check.
- The e2e polls the reveal before reading a colour for the golden, and pins
that a pointerless scroll draws no thumb.
The session list overflows after a handful of sessions, and its scrollbar
was drawn permanently in a column that is at rest most of the time.
SidebarRoot now tracks the pointer over the whole column and rebinds
ui-theme's scrollbar indirection pair to `transparent` while it is
outside, keeping the thumb for 2s after the pointer leaves so it does not
blink out on the way past. Rebinding colour leaves the list's
`scrollbar-gutter: stable` reservation in force, so revealing the bar
moves no row.
ui-theme's gate now states the widened contract: a rebind targets an -l2
token pair or `transparent`, and nothing else.
The goal scenario asserted a paused revision-2 goal, but the pause is
appended only after cancellation reaches idle — after turn/end. Under
parallel snapshot files the subprocess could dispose before the pause
record persisted, folding the log to an active revision-1 goal.
Add a waitForEventAfterTurnEnd input step (the turn-end/title waiters'
shape, parameterized by event type) and use it in the goal scenario to
hold the subprocess open until the goal-state record lands.
Resuming a long session (196k events, 2.2k steps, 1.8k tool cards) took
~12s to render and ~800ms to echo one keystroke:
- Every step's timing footer called stepTimingAt, which replayed the whole
event log per footer - O(steps x events) on the initial render.
- pi-tui re-renders every component each frame and relies on per-component
line caches, but ToolCardComponent/ContextCardComponent built throwaway
Text/Markdown instances inside render(width), re-wrapping every settled
card's output on every keystroke.
Replace the per-footer replay with one shared StepTimingTracker per chat
mount (single O(events) cursor over the append-only log), and cache card
rows by width via CardLineCache, dropped by every state mutator and
invalidate().
Measured (tmux 200x50, 196k-event session): resume prompt-ready ~12s -> ~7.6s;
per-keystroke echo ~800ms median -> ~11ms.
session-title already registers a title projection unit; /resume now
reads it instead of scanning logs: live rows from the registry
snapshot, persisted rows from the durable checkpoint row
(cachedSnapshot, zero I/O), and only rows without a usable checkpoint
pay a coldSnapshot — checkpoint plus readFrom tail, written back so the
next scan is metadata-only. Cold reads are bounded by the new
resumeScanConcurrency config; compositions without the cache fall back
to the bounded readTitleSnapshots batch. The TUI overlay mounts the
projection registry, storage, and projection-cache rows over the same
storages root the web surface uses, so checkpoints serve both.
Derive turn wall time from adjacent logged timestamps (no new session
events): the actions-owning assistant footer gains a localized
"Ran for {duration}" label, and the running TurnStatus label gains a
live elapsed clock anchored to the same logged trigger so a mid-turn
reload keeps the real elapsed time. Message time chrome is now
hover-revealed on hover-capable devices, keeping icons visible and
layout stable.
Making `.sources` a scroll container turned its `padding-left` from spacing
into a correctness constraint. A scroll container clips inline-start overflow
with no way to scroll it back, and `::marker` is right-aligned to the content
edge, so past nine sources the markers rendered as `0.` and `1.` where `10.`
and `11.` belonged.
`searchMaxResults` is an unbounded positive integer, so size the padding in
`em` against the list's own font to hold a three-digit marker. The browser e2e
measures a `999. ` marker in that inherited font and requires the computed
padding to be at least that wide, pinning the room against the widest marker
rather than one fixture's source count.
