Reviewing a live turn in a workspace rooted at a folder that is not itself a repository, every changed file refused to render a diff and said earlier content was not captured for this turn. Four fixes, all found and verified on a running rig.

A review row with no captured body

The review pane asked Git for changes at the workspace root only. A non-repository root returns nothing, so every row ended with a null baseline, and loadReviewContents threw on that null before it could reach the gitShowHead fallback, which only ran for an undefined baseline. Rows inside a repository nested under that root had a perfectly good committed body the whole time.

gitHeadBaseline now resolves the committed body by running Git in the file's own directory, so a nested repository answers. The row renders that diff and says it is compared against the last commit, because it is a weaker claim than a pre-turn snapshot: an edit that was already uncommitted before the turn is included in it. A row with no committed body still fails closed, now saying why.

A file the turn created

A truncated inventory cannot tell an omitted file from a new one, so it answers file for every path it never listed. That guess outranked the creation the watcher had just witnessed, and new files read as modifications with nothing to compare against. The witnessed event wins now, but only over a guess: a proven pre-existing file stays a modification however it was written.

A snapshot too small for the workspace

The pre-turn body snapshot is capped at 500 files and spent that budget in tree order. On a large shared root that is close to random: the root under review here holds 14,787 reviewable files. It now spends the budget most-recently-modified first, which is where a turn works, and reports coverage so the review toolbar can say snapshot 348/14787 instead of degrading silently row by row. Coverage stays separate from the inventory's complete flag on purpose. Folding the cap into complete would classify new files as pre-existing and produce more fail-closed rows, not fewer.

Two console fixes from the same session

Opening a session left the caret nowhere, so the first keystroke was spent aiming at the composer. It now focuses on open, on pointer devices only, since taking focus on a touch device raises the on-screen keyboard over the conversation.

Creating a workspace opens a page search that holds the caret, so the workspace digits and the split key spelled themselves into the query instead of moving anywhere. A field can now hand specific actions back with data-keybindings-allow, and the page search hands back exactly those two while keeping every letter it needs to spell a page name.

Verification

Unit: shell UI 289 tests, console 1378 tests, cargo fmt, cargo clippy -D warnings, cargo test for the shell crate.

Live rig, driving the real functions through the page's own code path:

[live] coverage = {"candidates":14787,"captured":348,"capped":true}
[live] classified = {"priorKind":"file","exact":true}
[live] captured body = MISSING
[live] entry.baseline = null
[live] baselineSource = committed
[live] old = "export function greet() {\n  return \"hello\"\n}\n"
[live] new = "export function greet() {\n  return \"konnichiwa\"\n}\n"

The new-file path on the same rig returns action = created, baseline = "", and a file with no repository above it still throws. The console fixes were verified in a browser against the running console: after New chat from the palette, focusedIsComposer=true.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Chat composer now automatically focuses when a session opens on desktop devices.
    • Workspace keyboard shortcuts can remain active while using page search.
    • Review snapshots now show coverage information when file limits apply.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Reviews can fall back to the last committed version when a prior baseline is unavailable.
    • Improved handling of newly created, deleted, binary, or unavailable files in review comparisons.
    • Nested repository paths are resolved more reliably.

A workspace root that is not itself a repository never produced Git
changes, so every row whose pre-turn body was missing fell to a null
baseline and refused to render a diff — including rows inside a
repository nested under that root, whose committed body was available all
along. The HEAD fallback in loadReviewContents was unreachable because it
only ran for an undefined baseline, and the null throw came first.

Rows without a captured body now ask Git for the committed body from the
file's own directory, so a nested repository answers, and the diff is
labelled as compared against the last commit rather than presented as a
turn diff. A row with no committed body still fails closed.

The body snapshot also spends its per-turn budget on the most recently
modified files instead of the first 500 in tree order, and reports its
coverage so the toolbar can say when a workspace was too large to capture
whole instead of degrading silently row by row.
… the workspace keys

Three fixes found while reviewing a live turn.

A file the turn created still refused to render a diff. A truncated
inventory cannot tell an omitted file from a new one, so it answers "file"
for every path it never listed, and that guess outranked the creation the
watcher had just witnessed. The event wins now: a created path with no
captured body and only a guessed classification is an addition, and it
renders as one. A proven pre-existing file stays a modification, however it
was written.

Opening a session left the caret nowhere, so the first keystroke was spent
aiming at the composer. It now focuses on open, on pointer devices only:
taking focus on a touch device raises the on-screen keyboard over the
conversation, which costs more than it saves.

Creating a workspace opens a page search that holds the caret, so the
workspace digits and the split key spelled themselves into the query
instead of moving anywhere. A field can now hand specific actions back with
data-keybindings-allow, and the page search hands back exactly those two.
It keeps every other key, including the letters it needs to spell a page
name.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds conditional desktop chat autofocus, explicit typing-field keybinding exceptions, prioritized workspace baseline capture with coverage reporting, committed Git fallback loading, and live-review handling for inferred prior file classifications.

Changes

Console interaction updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Conditional chat composer autofocus
console/web/src/components/chat/..., console/web/src/hooks/use-media-query.ts
Chat autofocus is enabled for desktop pointer devices unless chat input is harness-blocked. Composer forwards the option to LexicalShell, which mounts AutoFocusPlugin when enabled.
Typing-field keybinding exceptions
console/web/src/hooks/use-keybindings.ts, console/web/src/hooks/use-keybindings.test.ts, console/web/src/components/workspace/EmptyPane.tsx
Typing-focused elements can explicitly allow selected keybinding actions. Workspace search allows workspace.selectByIndex and panel.split. Tests cover list parsing and exact action matching.

Review baseline handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prioritized baseline capture and coverage
shell/ui/src/page/baseline.ts, shell/ui/src/page/index.tsx, shell/ui/src/page/__tests__/baseline.test.ts
Baseline capture prioritizes newer reviewable files, reports candidate and capture counts, tracks capped snapshots, and displays capped coverage in the review toolbar.
Committed Git baseline fallback
shell/ui/src/page/git.ts, shell/ui/src/page/ReviewPane.tsx, shell/ui/src/page/__tests__/git.test.ts, shell/ui/src/page/__tests__/ReviewPane.test.ts
Review content can use a validated committed baseline when no captured baseline exists. Nested repositories and deleted files are handled, and the UI identifies committed-baseline comparisons.
Live-review baseline classification
shell/ui/src/page/live-review.ts, shell/ui/src/page/index.tsx, shell/ui/src/page/__tests__/live-review.test.ts
Live-review normalization receives whether prior file classification was exact and treats witnessed creation events as created when prior inventory data was inferred.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 74495

The PR restores review baselines and fixes console focus and keybinding behavior. The remaining test assertion gap is localized and does not indicate a production behavior defect, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a focused ear,
The chat now starts with typing near.
Baselines hop from Git’s last tree,
Review rows show what used to be.
Shortcuts leap through fields with care.

Comment thread shell/ui/src/page/__tests__/baseline.test.ts
Asking for a new chat while an untouched one was already open created a
second empty draft. Both are titled the same, hold nothing, and render the
same welcome screen, so the action read as "nothing happened" while the
conversation list quietly filled with duplicates. The untouched chat in
front of you is handed back instead, with the caret placed in it, and a
chat that carries any work still gets a genuinely new one.

Opening a screen also preferred whichever workspace mounted it first, so
asking for chat from a workspace that already showed chat could send you to
a different one. Where you are wins now.

Also assert the snapshot capture boundary against distinct read results
rather than against the capture's own map size, which could not have caught
a wrong limit.
