feat(web): show recording status on floating previews by maria-rcks · Pull Request #11312 · pingdotgg/t3code

maria-rcks · 2026-09-11T21:32:56Z

When an agent records a floating browser preview, its corner dot now pulses red. The recording dot stays visible in the expanded hover controls and clears when recording stops. It follows the preview tab's existing recording state and respects reduced motion.

Verified in the actual Electron client with a Codex agent starting and stopping through preview tools, plus hover controls, manual recording, light/dark themes, and reduced motion. Web typecheck, scoped lint/formatting, and 81 existing tests passed. The shared web component covers desktop floating browser previews; device previews keep their existing behavior.

Recording, hover controls, and agent stop. The inline animation links to the MP4:

Model: gpt-6. Harness: Codex.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 609fa33

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped UI enhancement that reads existing recording state and adds an accessible indicator to floating browser previews. It does not alter recording behavior, data contracts, defaults, or production infrastructure.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The mini-player now detects active browser recordings for its tab and passes the state to MiniPlayerShell. Recording previews display accessible red pulsing indicators in the status area and hover pill.

Changes

Mini-player recording indicator

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Recording state derivation `apps/web/src/components/preview/ThreadPreviewMiniPlayer.tsx`	`BrowserMiniPlayer` subscribes to active recording tab IDs and checks runtime and thread-scoped recording state.
Recording status rendering `apps/web/src/components/preview/ThreadPreviewMiniPlayer.tsx`	`MiniPlayerShell` accepts the recording state and renders accessible red pulsing indicators when recording is active.

Dismissing prior approval to re-evaluate c6c1e18

Merges `upstream/main` at `e81606494` into the fork, from merge base `02297e3db` — 47 upstream commits. The theme of this range is scopable settings: upstream made every server setting addressable at a scope (global / environment / project) with per-project overrides, which is why 11 of the 15 conflicts are settings files. The rest is conversation rewind, floating device streams, and a large batch of message-sync and markdown-streaming perf work. ## Merge stats - Landed (`HEAD^1..HEAD`): 277 files, 17243+/4783− - Upstream range (base..`HEAD^2`): 275 files, 17011+/4749− - Fork delta (`HEAD^2..HEAD`): 756 files, 76559+/2096− The two file lists reconcile: the 3 extra landed files are `docs/fork/inventory.json`, `docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md` and `docs/fork/gaps.md`; the 1 file in the range that did not land is `apps/web/src/routes/settings.integrations.tsx`, resolved `ours` per the `moatless-admin-integrations-route` inventory entry (that route is a Moatless admin page here, and upstream's embedded-surface settings live at `/settings/browser`). All 15 conflicts were resolved by the verdict `preflight.mjs` printed. No `decide` conflict was left unresolved. Details, including the owned-concern sweep (no keyword hits) and the unsupported-method reconciliation (0 ADD, 0 DROP, 2 KEEP, 4 known exceptions), are in the dated entry in `docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md`. Two findings worth naming here: - **A silent auto-merge failure.** pingdotgg#11285 changed the mini-player target from a tab id to a source union. Git updated upstream's own assertion in `PreviewView.test.tsx` and left the fork-only "under the frame capability" case next to it still asserting the old string. No conflict marker, no `resolution-check.mjs` finding — only the fork's own test suite caught it. - **Stale inventory anchors.** Upstream moved the project Actions section out of `ProjectSettingsPanel.tsx` into a new `ProjectActionsSettings.tsx`, which is where `scriptsEditable` is now derived and where upstream's new writing Reset button is gated. Four inventory entries were re-pointed in this merge rather than silently dropping their deltas. ## Usable as-is Client work the fork can expose with no Moatless backend change: - Scoped settings UI and the two-select scope picker (pingdotgg#10639, pingdotgg#10636) — `SettingsScopeContext`, `ScopedSwitch`, `settingKeys`, the `mixed` state. The reading half works against Moatless today. - Float device streams over chat, as a source union rather than a tab id (pingdotgg#11285); recording status on floating previews (pingdotgg#11312); floating preview using composer margins (pingdotgg#11290). - PR-page selections into new drafts (pingdotgg#11296); projects-on-another-machine badge (pingdotgg#11323); Usage opening on Limits (pingdotgg#11261). - macOS permission onboarding (pingdotgg#11289); hold-to-quit fix (pingdotgg#11016); preview keystrokes kept out of the composer (pingdotgg#11354). - Message-sync and markdown-streaming perf: pingdotgg#11302, pingdotgg#11029, pingdotgg#11211, pingdotgg#11198, pingdotgg#11196, pingdotgg#11193, pingdotgg#11181, pingdotgg#11206. - Assorted web/mobile fixes: pingdotgg#11361, pingdotgg#10757, pingdotgg#11357, pingdotgg#10571, pingdotgg#11348, pingdotgg#11349, pingdotgg#11281, pingdotgg#11188, pingdotgg#11283, pingdotgg#11292, pingdotgg#11187, pingdotgg#11228, pingdotgg#11103, pingdotgg#10612, pingdotgg#11032, pingdotgg#11233, pingdotgg#11234, pingdotgg#11304, pingdotgg#11240. ## Unsupported in Moatless / needs implementation - **Conversation rewind** — `thread.conversation.revert` (pingdotgg#11358). A new member of `DispatchableClientOrchestrationCommand` in `packages/contracts/src/orchestration.ts`, bringing the fork to 30 command types (28 upstream's, 2 fork-only). Moatless does not dispatch it, and a client command cannot be refused per-type, so "Edit from here" on `RevertUserMessageButton` is reachable whenever the turn is idle and does nothing. Needs backend dispatch. - **Per-project setting overrides** — the `projectSettingsOverrides` capability and the 17-key `ProjectSettingsOverrides` record (pingdotgg#11176). Two pieces are needed: the capability reported by `/.well-known/t3/environment`, and `server.updateSettings` served at project scope. Until both land, the capability filter in `scopedSettings.ts:170` and `ProjectActionsSettings.tsx:72` drops the write on the client — the control renders, the user toggles it, and **the write never leaves the browser**. A silent no-op is worse than a hidden control or an honest refusal; recorded in `docs/fork/gaps.md`. - **Default thread permissions** — `defaultRuntimeMode` (pingdotgg#11346). Reads fine, cannot be saved. Same `server.updateSettings` write path as above, one level deeper, not a separate gap. ## Backend behavior to consider reproducing in Moatless Upstream server-side work the fork cannot use directly, but that Moatless would benefit from: - **Queue messages during context compaction** (pingdotgg#11107, `ProviderCommandReactor.ts`) — a message sent while compaction is in flight is currently dropped rather than held. - **Restore provider history and prompts when rewinding** (pingdotgg#11338, `CheckpointReactor.ts`) — the counterpart to `thread.conversation.revert` above; rewinding the thread without rewinding provider state leaves the two out of sync. - **Detect file renames in review diffs** (pingdotgg#8086, `apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts`) — a rename currently reads as a whole-file delete plus a whole-file add. - **Preserve qualified Codex model ids** (pingdotgg#9921, `ModelManifest.ts` + `CodexTextGeneration.ts`). - **Model defaults** astra-medium / fable-5.1-medium (pingdotgg#11347). All five are recorded under the runtime-fixes entry in `docs/fork/gaps.md`. ## Verification `verify.mjs` (full pass): 7 of 8 checks green — `duplicate-adds`, `tripwires`, `resolution-check`, `unsupported-methods`, `fmt:check`, `lint`, `typecheck`. `test` is red on **`@t3tools/desktop` only**, at `scripts/browser-secret-native.test.mjs > bundled libsecret helper`: `Command failed: pkg-config --cflags --libs libsecret-1`. This is the standing sandbox gap, not a merge regression — the test file's last commit is `498ab9c39` (pingdotgg#7261, before the merge base), `git diff --name-only` against both merge parents is empty for it, and `pkg-config --exists libsecret-1` fails in this environment. It is already an entry in `docs/fork/gaps.md`. Every other package passes, including `@t3tools/web` (5079 tests) after the `PreviewView.test.tsx` fix above. Three typecheck failures the merge introduced were fixed in it: `SETTINGS_CATEGORY_SCOPES` in `settingsSearch.ts` was missing all 9 fork-only settings paths, and two `filterAvailableSettingsSearchItems` literals in `settingsSearch.test.ts` were missing the fork's `forgejoEnabled` field. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --- Moatless task: https://moatless.soaplabstest.com/tasks/e70b41b3-779d-43b8-8f34-7de516548e7c
