Screens filled the workspace's third column in two ways. Some registered content as the "inspector". A /files regex and checks on route names chose between that and a "supplementary" role that nothing ever drew. Each role kept its own visibility and width.

Screens now render <Inspector revealKey?>{content}</Inspector>. The column has a single preference, and it only takes up space while a screen fills it, so a stale preference can no longer hide the sidebar beside a page that has no inspector. The Files and Review routes pass a revealKey, which opens the column once per thread and replaces the layout's checks on route names.

Part of the workspace split: router → shell → feature screens → design system → native. Stacked on https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/26741.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 3bf1ebc

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This refactor consolidates mobile inspector rendering into a single declarative column and prevents inactive inspectors from reserving sidebar space. Its effects are limited to UI layout and transient visibility state.

Walkthrough

The mobile adaptive workspace layout replaces role-based auxiliary panes with a file inspector pane. Screens render inspector content through Inspector, and thread actions use showInspector to reveal the pane.

Changes: Adaptive workspace inspector

Layer / File(s)	Summary
File inspector pane layout apps/mobile/src/lib/layout.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/layout.test.ts	Auxiliary-pane support, visibility, and width now use file-inspector layout calculations. The role-based pane type and input are removed, and existing visibility expectations remain unchanged.
Inspector registration and reveal apps/mobile/src/Stack.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/layout/AdaptiveWorkspaceLayout.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/layout/adaptive-workspace-context.ts	The layout registers focused inspector content and tracks reveal keys by route. It exposes showInspector and uses file-inspector preferences for pane visibility and width. Workspace route data now provides the active route key and name instead of keys for all routes.
Screen inspector integration apps/mobile/src/features/files/ThreadFilesRouteScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadRouteScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/review/ReviewSheet.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/thread-inspector-navigation.test.tsx	File, thread, and review screens render inspector content through Inspector. Thread actions reveal the file inspector, file-screen branches retain the inspector wrapper, and the navigation test exercises registration through rendered content.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 4f440

The thread screen's inspector can re-register itself on every layout update and may hit React's update-depth limit, breaking the thread view with the inspector. Make the registration trigger stable before merging.

Prevent repeated inspector registration for JSX children.

Inspector creates a new renderer on each render, and its content effect re-registers whenever props.children changes identity. ThreadRouteScreen passes a freshly-created JSX child, so a layout or context update can trigger another registration. Each registration stores a new inspector object and can continue the render/update cycle until React reaches its maximum update depth.

Use a stable registration trigger or a ref-backed renderer. Add a focused regression test that renders a JSX child and forces a layout or context update. The current test covers only primitive string children.
