feat: keep a long paste as an attachment chip by guilimasp · Pull Request #68 · milind-soni/OpenMausBot

guilimasp · 2026-08-13T16:29:35Z

Paste a stack trace, a log, or a page of code into the composer today and it buries the input: the textarea grows to its cap, the send button drifts down, and whatever you had written scrolls out of sight. The message is still fine — the composer is not.

Past ~900 characters or 12 lines, a paste becomes a chip above the input instead: the first lines fading out, the size beside them, an x to drop it. Shorter pastes are untouched and still land as text, so nothing about ordinary typing changes.

On send the chips fold back into the message as <pasted-text index="…"> blocks. Tagged rather than fenced on purpose: pasted code and markdown carry fences of their own, and nesting them loses the boundary. Nothing crosses the server or a driver — the provider still receives one plain prompt.

Two new files (src/lib/composer-attachments.ts, src/components/ComposerAttachments.tsx) and ~25 lines in Composer.tsx.

#69 stacks on this branch and reuses the same chips for files dropped onto the window.

pnpm typecheck && pnpm test pass (101 tests). Exercised in the dev UI against a real thread: a 40-line paste collapses into the chip instead of the input, the chip removes cleanly, and short pastes still type through.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Long pasted text is now captured as removable attachment chips above the message composer.
- Attachments show a text preview, size summary, and “Pasted” label.
- Remove individual pasted attachments before sending or queuing.
- Pasted content is included in sent or queued messages and cleared afterward.
- The send control appears when attachments are present, while the microphone stays hidden whenever the composer contains content.
- Short pastes continue to use the default behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The composer captures long pasted text as removable attachment chips. It displays attachment previews, includes attachments in sent or queued messages, and clears them after dispatch. Short pastes retain normal textarea behavior.

Changes

Long Paste Attachments

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Attachment utilities `src/lib/composer-attachments.ts`	Adds attachment types and helpers for paste classification, ID generation, UTF-8 size and line summaries, and indexed `<pasted-text>` message blocks.
Composer paste and message flow `src/components/Composer.tsx`	Stores long pastes as attachments, supports removal by ID, includes attachments in composed messages, updates send and dictation controls, and clears attachments after sending or queueing.
Attachment chip UI `src/components/ComposerAttachments.tsx`	Renders attachment previews, summaries, pasted indicators, tooltips, and accessible remove buttons. Returns `null` when no attachments exist.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

opacity-based visibility while preserving the hover appearance, and ensure
focus-visible states make the control visible and activatable without relying on
pointer hover.

Three from review: - the send control keyed off typed text alone, so a chip on its own could only be sent with Enter — the mouse got a microphone instead - the remove button used `hidden` until hover, which took the only way to drop a chip out of the keyboard's reach; opacity plus focus-visible keeps the same look and puts it back in the tab order - the chip labelled UTF-16 code units as bytes, reading a third under on accented text. Measured in UTF-8 now, once at paste time rather than on every re-render Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0197wYuWWpF21iBeNgHZ8n3X

CodeRabbit caught three on milind-soni#68, all of them real here too: the send control keyed off typed text alone, so a chip on its own could only go out with Enter; the chip's remove button used `hidden` until hover, out of reach of the keyboard; and the size on a chip counted UTF-16 units as bytes. Renamed to match what the PRs propose (ComposerAttachments, Attachment) so the fork and the branches upstream stay one diff apart — when they merge, this patch just goes away instead of needing a rename first.

Thanks — all three were real, fixed in 4d10418:

Attachment-only send. The send control keyed off text.trim(), so a chip with nothing typed showed the mic instead of send; Enter worked, the mouse had no way through. Both controls now read one hasContent predicate.
Remove button. hidden until group-hover took the only way to drop a chip out of the keyboard's reach. It is opacity-0 with focus-visible:opacity-100 now — same look on hover, back in the tab order.
Size. String#length counts UTF-16 units, so the chip read about a third under on accented text. Measured in UTF-8, and measured once at paste time rather than on every re-render — a chip re-renders on each keystroke, and encoding half a megabyte there would be felt.

#69 is rebuilt on top of the fixed base.

This feature is useful and the latest fixes look sound, but #67 has now landed in the same Composer state. Please rebase onto current main and integrate attachments with useDraft without dropping persisted text; after that I can run the combined build/tests and merge it.

Integrated through #89 on current main, preserving the original commits as a merge parent. The integration keeps the newer per-conversation draft, approval, and dictation behavior; persists paste chips independently for each bot/room; avoids reserializing large payloads per keystroke; preserves selection replacement; and adds focused draft/composition tests. Windows, macOS, Linux, and packaged-app checks all passed.

Every patch had rotted across the ten-version jump the stalled sync hid, so a build would have skipped all seven and quietly shipped an app with none of this fork's behavior. Four are gone because upstream merged them (milind-soni#35 dictation language, milind-soni#36 the connected-apps prompt, milind-soni#37 the screen frame, milind-soni#67 composer drafts) or shipped its own version (milind-soni#68 became upstream's paste chips and file drop). Deleting a patch upstream now carries is the whole point of the mechanism. Three remain and are rewritten against the current code: - 020 box TTL: upstream landed boxErrorMessage and noEnv since, so the retry moves into a createBox helper instead of an inline second call. - 030 dictation: upstream took the language fallback but not the config override, so the patch is now just the {"dictation":{"locale"}} read in front of the preferences it already consults. - 060 pasted images: rewritten around upstream's new composer, whose attachment chips fold into the prompt text and so cannot carry an image. Images stay a separate strip and reach the driver as their own blocks. typecheck and the full suite pass with all three applied (103 files, 997 tests).
