Dragging a tab over a terminal or browser pane made the drop indicator jump between zones instead of sliding, while the same drag over a non-portal pane (bonsplit's SwiftUI placeholder, which still springs) animated. So the indicator only animated sometimes.

Cause: #14984 changed GhosttySurfaceScrollView.setDropZoneOverlay, WindowBrowserSlotView and PaneDropZoneOverlayAnimator to snap the frame on retarget. This restores the 0.18 s animator().frame slide in all three; first-show fade and hide fade are unchanged. The rest of 14984 (hint pills, titlebar hover, downloads badge, canvas reveal) is untouched.

Test: WindowBrowserSlotViewTests.testRetargetingDropZoneOverlayAnimatesFrame (replaces the snap assertion) asserts a geometry animation is installed on retarget and the overlay lands on the new zone. Commit 1 adds the test only, commit 2 the fix. Commit 3 adds a DEBUG-only terminal_drop_overlay_probe retarget socket mode; on the tagged build it reports animated=1 keys=position for the terminal overlay.

Summary by cubic

Restores the tab drop-zone indicator sliding between zones when dragging over terminal or browser panes; a prior change made it snap on retarget.

  • Re-enables the 0.18 s frame slide on retarget in all three overlay paths, continuing from the overlay's current animated position instead of resetting it mid-drag.
  • Updates the retargeting test to assert a geometry animation is installed and the overlay lands on the new zone.
  • Adds a DEBUG-only terminal_drop_overlay_probe retarget socket mode reporting animated=1 keys=position on the tagged build.
  • Overlays that are partially transparent fade back to full visibility during the transition.

Written for commit 2739b56. Summary will update on new commits.

A blank line was added after compactOverlayFrame in Sources/PaneDropRoutingSupport.swift. No functionality changed.

Changes

Whitespace formatting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add blank line
Sources/PaneDropRoutingSupport.swift
A blank line was added after compactOverlayFrame.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2739b

The reviewed changes do not alter runtime behavior, and the previously reported test-wait concern is absent from the current test. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f5cf0

The drop-indicator change appears confined to how an existing overlay moves. No new security issue was established, but the accompanying CLI changes need scope clarification before the design risk can be considered minimal.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — The inspected overlay changes do not establish a new attacker-controlled route to a drop action: the new behavior acts on visual overlay frames after a zone has been supplied.

Replace the fixed wait before the settled-frame assertion.

advanceAnimations() runs the real run loop for a fixed 0.25 seconds. The settled-frame assertion can fail on a loaded runner when the animation has not completed. Wait for an animation-completion signal, or use a deadline-bounded poll of the settled frame.

terminal_drop_overlay_probe retarget shows the overlay on the left
zone, retargets it to the right, and reports the geometry animations
installed, so dogfood preflight can prove the slide without a drag.

11937-11945: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The retarget animation still starts from the model frame. A second retarget during the 0.18 s slide starts from the first target, not the current on-screen position. The earlier review comment already covers this. Rebase the model frame from dropZoneOverlayView.layer?.presentation()?.frame with animations disabled before the new animation starts.
