📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe task view now uses a custom animated split pane with persisted sizing, keyboard and pointer resizing, collapse handling, and browser-slot synchronization. Electron builds also receive a default remote debugging port. ChangesTask Pane Split

Both were carrying the same spring and fade as local constants, each with a comment saying they matched the other.
The task view was the library's only consumer: one horizontal split, two panels, one handle. What it charges for that is an N-panel constraint solver, and what it cannot offer is an animatable open and close -- panel sizes live in an external store keyed to a real container width, so there is no seam where the split can be a spring. The sidebar rail already solves this exact shape. The chat flexes and the pane is sized, so the row is one number: give the pane a width and the browser gives the chat the rest. The pane slides rather than resizes. Its browser tab paints a `<webview>` over a slot the renderer measures, and a slot whose width changes 60 times is 60 guest resizes, so the pane holds the width it rests at and translates out through a clip while the space it reserves animates alongside. Nothing inside reflows on the way out and the guest is only repositioned. `useBrowserSlot` tracked the slot per frame for the open already; it now does for the close too, which it could not see before because a slot that moves without changing size reaches neither the resize observer nor its own settle check. What persists is the pane's share of the row, not its width. A width in pixels stops meaning the same thing when the window zoom changes: one chosen at 0.5x describes a row two of the new ones would fit inside, and nothing invalidates it, so the pane came back from a zoom wider than the window it was in -- covering the chat and running off the right edge. The percentage sizing the library had was immune to this; the share restores that. Dragging past the floor closes the pane rather than pinning it there, double-click returns it to the default share, and the grip is a centered mark rather than a rule the height of the app. Three things a drag had to learn. It ends on lost pointer capture as well as on pointerup, and commits the width it reached: without that the move listener outlived the drag, so the pane followed a pointer merely passing over the handle and the width a drag ended on was never stored. It stops whatever is animating those values first, since a motion value's `set` does not cancel its animation and a spring still playing wrote over every frame a drag applied. And a share resized in one tab reaches the panes already mounted in the others, rather than moving storage and their reported value while leaving them at their old width. The pane takes no pointer events while it moves, so a quick second click cannot land on whichever tab slid under the cursor, and a task mounted behind another one settles instead of sliding -- animating what nobody is looking at also held the browser slot's tracking open for it.
electron-vite passes --remote-debugging-port to the Electron child only when REMOTE_DEBUGGING_PORT is set, so a hand-started dev instance had no endpoint and could not be driven. cross-env assigns unconditionally, which would have taken the port from callers that pick their own -- the Windows host runs both of its targets through `pnpm run dev` and assigns one per target. Defaulting in the config leaves theirs authoritative.
The convention everything else already follows: studio.<name>.v<n>. The version is the part that matters -- it lets a stored value's meaning change later without an old one being read as the new thing, which is exactly how this pane's width came back from a zoom a hundred times too small. Renamed rather than migrated. Both default to true and cost one toggle to set again, and pre-GA a compatibility shim would outlive the problem it solves.

react-resizable-panelswith a rail the task view owns, so the pane can open and close as a slide.Why not the library
Nothing is wrong with it. It is actively maintained, well tested, and by a good author. It is the fit that is wrong: the task view was its only consumer, using one horizontal split, two panels, and one handle. What it charges for that is an N-panel constraint solver —
adjustLayoutByDeltais 380 lines of multi-panel delta distribution, collapse thresholds and bailout-to-previous-layout — and none of that is a problem we have. For two panels with one floor each, the whole rule isclamp(width, min, rowWidth - otherMin).What it cannot offer is the thing this needed. Panel sizes live in an external store keyed to a real container width, so there is no seam where the split can be a spring. Two attempts to animate around it both failed on that: one had to lie to the library about its container width, which corrupted the layout it remembered; the other reached into the imperative API and depended on when panels register during commit, which threw
Layout not found for Panel artifact.The sidebar rail already solves this exact shape, so the pane is now built the same way: the chat flexes, the pane is sized, and the row is one number.
Why it has to slide rather than resize
The browser tab paints a
<webview>guest over a slot the renderer measures. A slot whose width changes 60 times is 60 guest resizes. So the pane holds the pixel width it rests at and translates out through a clip, with the space it reserves animating alongside — nothing inside reflows on the way out, and the guest is repositioned rather than resized.useBrowserSlotalready tracked the slot per frame for the open; it now also does for the close, which it could not see before because a slot that moves without changing size reaches neither the resize observer nor its own settle check.Sizing is a share, not a width
The pane's share of the row is what persists. A width in pixels stops meaning the same thing when the window zoom changes: one chosen at 0.5x describes a row that two of the new ones would fit inside, and nothing invalidates it. Held as pixels it survived the zoom change that invalidated it and painted a pane wider than the window, covering the chat and running off the right edge. The percentage sizing the library had was structurally immune to this, and the share restores that property.
Worth a look elsewhere: anywhere a chosen pixel size is persisted across a zoom change is the same shape of bug.

pnpm devnow binds the conventional remote-debugging port.electron-viteonly passes--remote-debugging-portwhenREMOTE_DEBUGGING_PORTis set, so before this a hand-started instance had no endpoint at all and could not be handed to an agent. Two hand-started instances will contend for it;studio-drive bootstill derives a per-checkout port for that.Review notes
Driven by hand: open and close, drag, drag-to-close, double-click, zoom in and out while dragging, with and without a browser tab loaded.
test:ciis green (1025 passed) and types and lint are clean.The zoom leak is the one to be sceptical of. The mechanism is proven from a captured DOM in the broken state — the rail sat at
width: 2530pxunder--app-zoom: 1, and 2530 is exactlyrowWidth - chatMinfor a row 2880 layout px wide, which is a ~1440px window at 0.5 zoom. But the sequence that produced it was zoom plus rapid dragging, and I have not reproduced that end to end since the fix.There are no tests on the drag itself. The behavior is pointer capture, measured layout and a spring, which jsdom cannot see; it belongs in the browser project if it is worth pinning down.
