Problem

Android navigation chrome takes a large share of the screen. On phones, the bottom bar sits under a floating Filter button stacked on a floating New thread button, all over the thread list. On foldables and tablets, an 80dp rail holds only Chats and PRs, while Filter and New thread still float over the sidebar and Settings is a header gear. When the bottom bar first landed, @juliusmarminge pointed out that the chrome covered about a third of the screen.

Change

  • Phones: the bottom bar holds three tabs: Chats, PRs, and Settings. Search and Filter sit in the list header, and Filter stays visible while a search is open, so search results can still be filtered. New thread is the only floating button, at Material's 16dp corner margin.

  • Split view and tablets: a Material 3 wide navigation rail (96dp) shows the same three tabs, centered vertically. Its menu button and New thread are top-aligned, as Material recommends. The menu button expands the rail over the list as a modal, with full labels such as "Pull Requests", without reflowing the panes.

  • Settings tab: Settings opens as a full workspace page from either surface instead of from a header gear. Nested settings pages keep normal Back, and choosing a list tab returns to it.

  • Tab transitions: Chats, PRs, and Settings are top-level destinations, so switching between them uses Material 3's fade-through in both the bottom bar and the rail. Settings fades in instead of pushing, and Home stays blank under it rather than flashing Chats.

  • Hide on scroll (phones): scrolling the chat or pull request list down slides the list header up behind the status bar and the bottom bar off the screen, on the same cue that shrinks the New thread FAB; scrolling up brings them back. Both bars float over a list that never moves (it pads its content by their height), so reversing mid-drag works and a slow drag can't flicker: a list that shifted under the finger read the shift as a scroll the other way. Pull to refresh starts below the header. Switching tabs shows the bars again, and split view is unchanged.

  • PR filters: the PR list publishes its existing filter menu to the PR header, so both lists use the same header layout.

  • Rail motion: labels switch between "PRs" and "Pull Requests" at the rail item's invisible midpoint and stay transparent while sliding across their icons. Collapsing starts on tap, so labels and New thread finish before the modal rail closes.

  • Composer: the thread composer stays one row on every layout and platform, with the model picker in the row. The picker shows the model name while the draft is empty and eases down to the provider icon once it has text. When the draft would wrap, it stacks above the controls and shows two to four lines before scrolling; it returns to the row once it fits again. The turn timer stays in the pill above the composer.

  • Typing in split view: ported from feat(mobile): Android drops the rail, bottom bar, and rounded sheets for a denser layout #19424 (credit @t3dotgg). While the thread composer has the soft keyboard, the rail and sidebar step aside and the thread header drops to one line. Closing the keyboard brings the sidebar back.

  • PR filters: the PR header's filter button opens the full menu and fills while filters are active. The row of quick pills (state, involvement, labels) stays under the header, minus the pill that duplicated the header button, and lines up with the list rows.

Apart from the composer, this is an alternative to #19424 (and #18686), which removes the rail and bottom bar instead of slimming them down.

Scope and approval

This follows Julius's feedback on the screen space the Android chrome uses. I don't have a link to an approval of this specific direction, and #19424 takes the opposite approach, so maintainers will need to pick one. The navigation changes are Android-only; shared files are gated on Platform.OS === "android" or only add the Settings tab title. The composer change is shared with iOS, where it was checked on the iPhone Duo's front screen and unfolded in both orientations.

Verification

  • vp test run for android-workspace-navigation, workspace-tabs-state, android-workspace-navigation-colors, and layout: 73 passed. They cover opening the Settings tab without stale chat or PR history, keeping Settings selected on nested pages, and preserving both list searches across tabs.
  • vp run --filter @t3tools/mobile typecheck passed, and node scripts/mobile-native-static-check.ts (ktlint and detekt) passes. Targeted lint and formatting on the changed files are clean.
  • Android 15 Pixel Fold-class emulator (2076 × 2152 unfolded), dark theme, development client, synthetic showcase environment:
    • Folded and unfolded, all three tabs switch correctly. Settings opens full width, and Back returns from nested settings pages.
    • Search keeps Filter visible on both layouts, and the filter menu opens from the header.
    • The rail menu expands and collapses the modal rail, and New thread opens the new-thread sheet from both the rail and the phone FAB.
    • With Gboard's soft keyboard in split view, focusing the composer hides the rail and sidebar, shows the one-line header, and keeps the one-row composer with the model picker; dismissing the keyboard restores the sidebar.
    • PR quick pills clear the list surface's rounded corners and align with the rows in both the sidebar and full-width lists.
    • TalkBack labels: the collapsed New thread button announces "New thread", the rail menu announces expand or collapse, and each tab is announced once.
  • On a Pixel 10 Pro Fold, release builds were checked frame by frame from screen recordings. That's how the label and New thread glitches during rail open and close were found and confirmed fixed.
  • Galaxy Z Fold 8 (the same emulator resized to 2448 × 1848 inner and 1248 × 1972 cover, 420dpi) and the iPhone Duo simulator (front screen, and unfolded in landscape and portrait): every changed surface captured below.
  • Submenu Back: tapping the arrow glyph itself returns to the root menu, and a row's chevron glyph opens its submenu.
  • Keyboard on resume: with the composer focused, switching away and back restores the keyboard with the composer above it.
  • Hide on scroll, Pixel Fold-class cover screen, synthetic data: a single slow drag down then back up without lifting hides and restores the header and bottom bar once each, on both lists; the unfolded split view keeps its rail and header. Also checked on a Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
  • Not checked: light theme captures, and the composer on iPhone and iPad.

Matched captures use the same emulator, theme, and synthetic data.

Before After
Unfolded Before: 80dp rail with Chats and PRs, Settings gear in the header, Filter and New thread floating over the list After: wide rail with menu, New thread, and Chats, PRs, Settings; Search and Filter in the list header; nothing floating over the list
Folded Before: two-tab bottom bar with Filter and New thread stacked over the list After: three-tab bottom bar, Filter in the header, New thread as the only floating button

Every changed surface, per device: chats, search with Filter kept, the filter menu and a submenu, the expanded rail (inner screens), PRs with quick pills, the PR filter menu, the Settings tab, a thread, and the composer (keyboard open and empty, typing, wrapped and stacked, keyboard closed with the draft kept).

Pixel Fold-class, inner and cover Pixel Fold-class inner screen: all changed surfaces Pixel Fold-class cover screen: all changed surfaces
Galaxy Z Fold 8, inner and cover Galaxy Z Fold 8 inner screen: all changed surfaces Galaxy Z Fold 8 cover screen: all changed surfaces
iPhone Duo, front screen and unfolded (composer only; navigation changes are Android-only) iPhone Duo front screen: thread list, thread, and composer states iPhone Duo unfolded in landscape: list beside the thread, and composer states iPhone Duo unfolded in portrait: thread and composer states

Hide on scroll recording (cover screen, pull request list: one slow drag down, then back up without lifting)

Hide on scroll on a Pixel 10 Pro Fold (cover screen, chat list, release build)

Rail expand and collapse recording (emulator, so it runs at a lower frame rate than a device)

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This is a large, cross-cutting mobile UI and navigation change that changes the default Android workspace experience, including tabs, chrome visibility, routing, and composer layout. Its runtime impact spans native Android controls and shared mobile components, so it warrants human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Changes

The Android workspace now includes a Settings tab, an expandable navigation rail, toolbar filters, and compact chrome that responds to list scrolling. The workspace layout adapts to composer keyboard state. The composer uses measured draft content to select an inline or card layout.

Android workspace experience

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add Settings to workspace navigation
apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/workspace-tabs-state.ts, android-workspace-tabs.ts, AndroidWorkspaceTabsProvider.tsx, AndroidWorkspaceSettings.tsx, apps/mobile/src/Stack.tsx, SettingsScreen.tsx, WorkspaceRootScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/lib/android-workspace-navigation.test.ts, workspace-tabs-state.test.ts
Workspace state and navigation helpers include Settings. The tabs provider synchronizes tab selection with navigation state. On Android, Settings routes render in the workspace and the root Settings screen omits its back handler. Tests cover Settings navigation and preserving tab queries.
Wire the expandable Android navigation rail
apps/mobile/modules/t3-native-controls/android/src/main/java/expo/modules/t3nativecontrols/T3WorkspaceNavigationModule.kt, apps/mobile/modules/t3-native-controls/android/src/main/res/drawable/t3_*.xml, apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/AndroidWorkspaceNavigation*.tsx
The native rail adds Settings, an expandable menu, and a New thread action. Android navigation supplies rail dimensions and action colors, resets the workspace stack after tab selection, and opens NewTaskSheet for New thread.
Register and display workspace filters
apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/AndroidWorkspaceFilters.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/pull-requests/PullRequestListFilters.tsx, PullRequestToolbar.android.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/home/ThreadListToolbar.tsx, apps/mobile/src/components/ui/MenuPopup.android.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/home/HomeHeader.android.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadNavigationSidebar.tsx
Pull Request filters register their actions and active state for Android toolbars. Threads and Pull Requests toolbars show filter controls, and Android menu icons invoke their associated actions.
Add compact workspace chrome and tab transitions
apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/CompactWorkspaceChrome.tsx, WorkspaceTabTransition.tsx, WorkspaceRootScreen.android.tsx, AndroidWorkspaceSidebar.android.tsx, WorkspaceTabsContext.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/home/*, apps/mobile/src/features/pull-requests/PullRequestsScreen.tsx
Compact chrome shares scroll-driven visibility and measured header and bar heights. Workspace screens and lists reserve space for the chrome, the home FAB follows its visibility, and tab content transitions when the selected tab changes. Pull Requests scroll restoration uses the saved offset instead of an item anchor.
Coordinate keyboard, sidebar, and header layout
apps/mobile/src/features/layout/AdaptiveWorkspaceLayout.tsx, apps/mobile/src/components/ui/AndroidScreenHeader.tsx, AppBar.android.tsx, AppBar.types.ts, NativeAppBar.android.tsx, useToolbarLayout.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadHeader.tsx, ThreadDetailScreen.tsx
The adaptive layout tracks composer editing and keyboard visibility to adjust workspace panes and sidebar actions. Android headers and toolbars support compact sizing, and ThreadHeader follows composer keyboard state.
Adapt composer layout to measured draft content
apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadComposer.tsx, apps/mobile/src/native/T3ComposerEditor*, apps/mobile/src/components/ComposerToolbar.tsx, apps/mobile/src/lib/modelLabel.ts, modelLabel.test.ts
The composer selects inline or card presentation based on draft line breaks and measured width. Native editors report content height. Attachments, model controls, and toolbar placement follow the selected presentation.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0a7cd

Reset filters cannot clear an environment-only selection and can leave an environment selected after resetting other filters. This is a bounded issue to fix or accept before merging; the toolbar indicator now reflects the selection.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0a7cd

The changes primarily coordinate navigation and presentation within the mobile app. The reviewed paths reuse existing destinations and preserve composer action controls. No introduced security vulnerability was established, but incomplete coverage prevents a stronger assurance.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The traced navigation changes affect an installed client's workspace presentation and access paths to existing screens. They do not establish new cross-tenant authority, direct task execution, or a new externally exposed service entrypoint. This conclusion is limited to the inspected navigation and composer paths.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new Android menu icon press targets preserve the same disabled attribute as their containing menu rows. The rail's New thread availability is derived from connection presence, which is a UI precondition rather than an authorization guarantee.
Pre-merge checks: Passed 4
Check name Status Explanation
Title check Passed The title clearly identifies the main mobile change: reducing the screen space used by navigation chrome.
Description check Passed The description is complete and aligned with the template. It explains the problem, implementation, scope, approval context, focused verification, screenshots, recordings, and known gaps.

Heads up: one last small push is coming for two Android bugs found on device. The back arrow in filter submenus (Environment, Project) doesn't take taps on the glyph, and the composer can lay out under the keyboard when you switch back to the app with the keyboard open. After that I'll leave this alone.

Three tabs (Chats, PRs, Settings) in the bottom bar and the navigation
rail. The rail carries New thread and expands to a modal; phones keep a
New thread FAB 16dp from the corner. Search and Filter live in the list
header in every layout, and pull requests keep their quick filter pills.

While the thread composer has the soft keyboard in split view, the rail
and sidebar step aside, the header drops to one line, and the composer
stays one row. The model picker shows its name until the draft has text,
then shrinks to the provider icon.

Rebased onto the shared mobile UI layer: the compact header now renders
through the native app bar.

Co-authored-by: Theo Browne <me@t3.gg>
The composer stays one row on every layout and platform, with the model
picker in the row. The picker shows the model name while the draft is
empty and eases down to the provider icon once it has text. When the
draft would wrap, it stacks above the controls and shows two to four
lines before scrolling; it returns to the row once it fits again.
Chats, PRs, and Settings are top-level destinations, so switching them
fades the outgoing tab out and the incoming tab in, in both the bottom
bar and the rail. Settings fades in rather than pushing, and Home stays
blank beneath it instead of flashing Chats on the way.
A long model name, such as a Nebius-hosted Qwen model, pushed Send past
the edge of the row on narrow screens. The picker now caps its width in
the one-row composer and truncates the name; the card keeps the full
width.
…short

The previous fixed cap clipped names like Claude Opus 5.5 even on wide
screens. The one-row draft now keeps at least 40% of the row and the
model name truncates only past that. Beside the provider icon, the
name also drops brand words the icon already shows, so it leads with
the model and version (Opus 5.5).
The one-row width was only measured while the composer was on one row,
so a draft that stacked when a split pane narrowed stayed stacked after
the pane widened again. The row width is now tracked in both layouts.
The draft also reflows right at the edge of the row instead of 16pt early.
…d keyboard

Menu row icons are React Native views hosted in the native row, and they
swallowed taps over the glyph, so a submenu's Back arrow did nothing when
tapped directly. The icons now run their row's action.

Returning to the app with the composer still focused restores the
keyboard without any keyboard event, and the resume quarantine kept the
composer under it. An input that keeps focus through the switch is now
exempt; the stranded case it guards against always starts with a blur.
The Settings tab helpers took WorkspaceTab from features, adding an
upward lib -> features import that the mobile dependency graph caps.
They now live beside the tab state in features/workspace, and lib is
back to its main version.
On phones, scrolling the chat or pull request list down slides the
list header up behind the status bar and drops the bottom bar off the
screen, on the same cue that shrinks the New thread FAB. The first
scroll up brings both back. The FAB rises out of the gesture area while
the bar is gone. Switching tabs shows the chrome again, and split view
is unchanged.
Choosing an environment was the only filter that left the header's filter
icon looking inactive.
Hiding or showing the header moves the list under a finger that is still
dragging, which reads as a scroll the other way and flipped the chrome
back, over and over. Offsets now only re-anchor until the transition has
settled, and the chrome stays until the list is past the header, so its
shift can never land the list back at the top as a pull to refresh. The
New thread FAB follows the same state.
Settling and a minimum scroll still let a slow drag flicker the header
and bottom bar, and made hiding feel late. Moving the bars changes the
list's layout, which under a dragging finger reads as a scroll the other
way. The scroll direction is still tracked live and drives the New
thread FAB, but the bars now move only when no finger is on the list:
during a fling, or as soon as a drag ends. The settle window and the
minimum offset are gone.
Hiding the header and bottom bar resized the list under a dragging finger,
which read as a scroll the other way and flipped the bars back. Waiting
for the finger to lift fixed the flicker but felt wrong. The bars now
float over the list and slide away; the list pads its content by their
height and never moves. Direction changes take effect mid-drag in either
direction, and pull to refresh starts below the header.
Three things moved the PR list when switching back to it:
- The PR header used the 64dp native app bar while Chats uses the 56dp
  list toolbar, so the floating header's padding changed after mount and
  nudged the list. The PR header now uses the list toolbar height.
- Restoring the saved position fired a scroll that hid the bars. Until
  the list is dragged, scroll events now only move the anchor.
- The restore used an index anchor, and LegendList adds the list header
  to index restores, so every return landed one header lower. It now
  restores the plain offset, like the chat list, and the unused anchor
  API is gone.

The Android header menu includes the environment filter, but Reset
stayed disabled when only an environment was selected and didn't clear
it. The iOS menu, which keeps the environment as a separate pill, is
unchanged.

Taking over this one. Thanks @PixPMusic, this is a thorough piece of work. I'm going to rebuild it as a few smaller PRs (navigation chrome, hide on scroll, the composer, and the two small Android fixes) so each can be reviewed on its own, and I'll link them here when they're up.

Thanks @PixPMusic. This PR got the direction right: a three-tab bar and a wide rail in place of the floating Filter and gear, Settings as a destination, and a one-row composer. Your device findings (the menu glyphs eating taps, the restored keyboard after a resume, the rail's label swap at the midpoint, the LegendList index-restore offset) saved a lot of guessing.

I rebuilt it as smaller PRs so each concern can be reviewed and landed on its own:

I compared this PR's diff against those four. Not carried over yet:

  • Hide-on-scroll for the phone header and bottom bar (your last four commits). I'll follow up with it on top of fix(android): navigation chrome takes less of the screen #20813, keeping the floating-bars design you landed on.
  • The modelLabel brand-word table. Dropped on purpose: the picker shows only the provider icon once there's text.

Every PR keeps you as co-author.
