  • A review spread over an afternoon, or picked up on a second machine, starts again from the top every time, so large changes get read in the browser and only small ones stay here.
  • The marks are the host's wherever the host keeps any, because a checkbox that looks like the one GitHub shows and quietly disagrees with it leaves a reviewer unsure which of the two knows what they have actually read.
  • GitLab keeps its own viewed files in one browser's local storage, where nothing outside that browser can read or write them, so there is no shared record to be the host's. The marks are this environment's instead, and the surface says so rather than implying gitlab.com will show them.
  • Declared per provider as where the marks live rather than whether they exist, so a host with nowhere to keep them hides the control instead of offering one that cannot keep its promise.
  • Read apart from the patch, because viewed state moves on every press and a patch moves only when somebody pushes; sharing one read would mean either re-fetching a three-hundred-file diff per checkbox or showing a reader their own last press as stale.

Notes


Note

Medium Risk
Touches multi-provider SCM reads, new per-user SQLite state, and complex Azure diff/pagination logic; mistakes mainly affect review UX and staleness, not auth.

Overview
Adds per-file “viewed” tracking for pull request diffs, with new WebSocket RPC (pullRequestsFilesViewed / pullRequestsSetFilesViewed), auth scopes, and orchestration in PullRequestService that keeps viewed state separate from diff caching so ticking files does not re-fetch large patches.

Storage model depends on provider: GitHub uses host-native viewed state (GraphQL read + batched mark/unmark mutations). GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps use environment-persisted marks in SQLite (pull_request_files_viewed, migration 048) keyed by provider, host, repository, PR number, viewer, and path, with optional revision blobs to detect pushes. Providers expose getFileRevisions (or GitHub’s viewed API) so marks can show viewed / dismissed when the head changes.

Azure DevOps gains real diff support (previously disabled): REST via az devops invoke, iteration/change pagination with output ceilings, per-file content reads, and unified patch assembly (diff dependency + azureDevOpsDiff). Thread listing moves off raw az rest URLs to invoke-based pullRequestThreads, and change-request detail can report changed file counts.

Note

Add pull request file viewed marks with provider and environment storage

  • The web UI renders per-file viewed checkboxes in PullRequestCodeTab, folds a file when marked viewed, shows stale marks after host-reported changes, and displays the viewed count in the tab header.
  • PullRequestService exposes viewed-file reads and writes over WebSocket RPC, caches successful reads for 15 seconds, and persists environment-scoped marks in SQLite via migration 048 (048_PullRequestFilesViewed.ts).
  • Providers declare storage as host-owned (GitHub via GraphQL mutations) or environment-owned (GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps), where the service fetches head file revisions to validate stored marks.
  • Azure DevOps gains local diff generation (azureDevOpsDiff.ts) and az devops invoke-based reads for iterations, paged change entries, and item content, replacing the previous unsupported getDiff.
  • Risk: decodePullRequestJson replaces the threadsUrl field with AzureDevOpsRepositoryLocation (project/repository); in-tree callers are updated. normalizeGitRemoteUrl now canonicalizes supported Azure DevOps SSH remotes to web repository keys, so cloned SSH remotes compare equal to web identities. Migration 048 creates the pull_request_files_viewed table.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a cross-provider viewed-file workflow with persistent storage, new authenticated RPCs, client-side state management, and substantial Azure diff behavior. It also changes product defaults and adds static-analysis suppression directives, so the breadth and runtime impact require human review.

Reviewed the web UI changes (PullRequestCodeTab.tsx, pullRequestDiff.logic.ts, pullRequestFilesViewed.logic.ts, usePullRequestFilesViewed.ts) for shared-primitive use, Tailwind/CSS ownership and virtualizer behavior.

Both findings from the previous run are resolved: the Checkbox no longer carries a partial size-* override, and truncated is now threaded through the hook and surfaced in the meta line with the same Tooltip + TriangleAlertIcon treatment the withheld-diff caveat uses. Two remaining items below — one virtualizer regression risk, one accessible-name issue on the new control.

A press moved the whole viewed view, and every file header on screen was memoized on it, so one tick cost a rebuild of all of them. The same mark also has to say whether the control is offered at all, or a capability arriving after the first paint leaves the headers without a box.

The button exists for a reader who can see that what they are looking at is
behind, so leaving one part of the page on the last read defeats the point of
pressing it. A push since that read is exactly when the mark beside a ticked

One finding on the new viewed-files hook: the command-failure path surfaces an error toast for interrupt-only failures, which diverges from the repo's established useAtomCommand failure convention. Everything else in the web scope (Checkbox/Tooltip primitive use, the amber caveat icon matching the adjacent meta-line pattern, header portal render-prop stability via refs, explicit environmentId threading) looks consistent.

Thanks for the quick turnaround. Re-ran everything on c65ba1a: server, web, contracts and shared tests green, typecheck and lint clean, merges clean on current main.

Confirmed fixed:

  • Bitbucket tab-suffixed paths (reproduced the original failure, now passes; the timestamp-after-tab case too).
  • Bitbucket revisions now read through a memoised patch, so a run of ticks is one download.
  • GitHub node id cached on all four write paths.
  • The provider-kind branch is gone and the row key is the normalised remote for every provider. Migration 050 is unshipped so the respelling is fine.
  • The viewed-files block is its own module, with a clean import-type-only boundary and no duplicated helpers. The generation counter and both forget functions went away with the epoch key. Service comment density is back at the file's baseline.
  • Web: annotations hash split out of the tick/fold memo, aria-label follows the visible text, the sentBy comment now says what actually happens.

What still needs work is mostly in the Azure diff rewrite, plus two things the viewer fix introduced.

Azure diff

The 500 ms backstop is what actually fires, not the edit ceiling, and it now fabricates full rewrites for files the old code diffed correctly. Measured on this machine with the real diff@8.0.3 and the exact options in azureDevOpsFilePatch: a share-nothing 2k/2k pair costs ~790 ms to reach the ceiling, so the 500 ms timeout wins. A 4000-line file with 600 lines rewritten completes a real 1200-edit patch in ~940 ms under the ceiling alone, but with the backstop it aborts at 501 ms and is emitted as all 8000 lines replaced. That is a fidelity regression versus the previous head, and which result you get depends on CPU speed and load. The comment claiming ~210 ms and "changes no patch" does not hold. Either lift the backstop clearly above the ceiling's real cost or lower the ceiling to what fits in 500 ms, so the deterministic bound is the one that bites. And abandoned never leaves the server; the only signal is the tab-wide amber triangle whose tooltip talks about binary files. If the whole-replacement fallback stays, the file needs its own marker so a reader can tell a fake rewrite from a real one.

Two smaller budget issues inline: one-sided files skip the byte budget and can push a slice to ~3x MAX_DIFF_SLICE_BYTES, and the read batch is always filled to four regardless of remaining budget, so up to three of every four az reads can be thrown away and repeated on the next slice. There is also no cap on concurrent az processes across requests; eight per getDiff is fine, but two clients on two Azure PRs is sixteen with nothing above that.

Viewer lookup

requiredViewerOf is right for the write. But getViewer is wrap, while setFilesViewed is interactive, so during a rate-limit pause the press now fails on the lookup before it reaches the part that was allowed through. Refresh clears viewersByHost, so the sequence is: host paused, user hits refresh, next tick toasts. Either make getViewer interactive or let requiredViewerOf take a paused lease. The comment above the tolerant read on the read path is also now wrong, and on the client a failed read renders as every box unticked with no error, which is the same outcome the fix was meant to avoid.

Smaller

  • The two fallback rungs on remote are unreachable; canonicalKey is required on the contract. The tests for them only get there via as unknown as casts.
  • Four other open PRs (#9436, #10132, #10233, #10975) also add a migration numbered 050. Whichever lands second will need to renumber; worth a note in the description.
  • The scope split from the first round is still outstanding. Azure diff support is the part with the open findings above, and it is the part that would benefit most from its own PR.
  • 56 commits now. Please squash before merge.

Happy to take another look once the Azure bound is sorted.

The branch is under review, so it follows upstream by merge: a rewrite would
move the lines the open review comments are anchored to.

Upstream landed the same repository selector in `@t3tools/shared`, so the
branch keeps one of the two rather than a copy per package.

…aused hosts

- The per-file diff timeout fired before the edit ceiling, so how fast the
  machine was decided the shape of a patch, and a file the ceiling admits lost
  its hunks on a busier host.
- A created file at the size ceiling wrote a section about three times a whole
  slice's budget into one frame, because that path carried no byte bound.
- A file given up on was written out as wholly replaced, which reads as a
  genuine rewrite and buries the corner that actually moved.
- Reading four files at a time regardless of how full the slice was threw most
  of them away and paid for them again on the next request.
- A host backing off turned a reader's press into a failure, because the
  lookups standing in front of it were not let through the pause.
- A failed read left every box unticked with nothing saying so, which is
  indistinguishable from a review nobody has started.

Third pass on 900698c. Ran the touched server, web, contracts and shared suites (718 / 415 / 26 / 21, all green), typecheck and lint clean, merges clean. This round I also measured the hot paths with the real diff@8.0.3 and Effect Cache, and did a regression sweep against main for users who never touch the checkbox.

Everything from the last round is fixed, and the fixes hold up under measurement:

  • The 500 to 2000 ms change is the right fix. On the worst input still inside the edit ceiling, patch shape was decided by machine load in 19 of 30 runs at 500 ms and in 0 of 30 at 2000 ms.
  • batchWidth() never returns 0, NaN or more than 4 across an exhaustive sweep, and it reads nothing it throws away on the shapes that mattered.
  • The az semaphore is genuinely process-wide (registry builds the provider once), wraps only readItemContent, and cannot deadlock.
  • Migration is now 051 and byte-identical to the old 050. requiredViewerOf goes through an interactive lease. Client shows the read error. Dead rungs gone.
  • Web: annotatedFiles recomputes zero times per tick, items exactly three, and the split is an 18x win on the hash (812 us to 45 us for 300 files). No animations added.

What is left is mostly memory and one bound that got added to one path but not its sibling.

Should fix

  • Bitbucket patch memo can pin 128 to 256 MiB. Sixteen entries of up to 8 MiB raw patch text, and Effect's Cache evicts only on insert and expires lazily, so the 5 s TTL frees nothing until a 17th PR arrives. Measured 176 MiB RSS for ASCII, 296 MiB when any non-latin1 character flips V8 to two-byte strings. Storing the parsed path-to-revision map instead of the string is about a thousand times smaller and also removes the per-tick reparse (11 to 347 ms and 147k transient strings on an 8 MiB patch). Inline.
  • Two-sided Azure files have no section byte cap. The one-sided path got one last round; this one did not. A 512 KiB per side file with a handful of long lines and 100 edits yields a 1 MiB section, and a slice can reach 1280 KiB against a 256 KiB budget. Inline.
  • An Azure slice has no file-count bound. Binary, oversize, rename-only and unreadable entries produce 150 byte sections with zero edits, so only the byte budget stops the loop: about 1750 such files fit one slice, which is 3500 az spawns for a single request, queued 8 at a time. MAX_CHANGE_ENTRIES is 10000 so this is reachable. Inline.
  • listRows has no LIMIT, and files / path on the set input have no max. The count-bounded caches (filesViewedCache, heldFileRevisions) are unbounded per entry on every environment provider. Inline.
  • The numbers in the MAX_FILE_DIFF_EDITS comment are still wrong. Measured 359 ms min, 438 p50, 1223 max on a 12 vCPU box for the share-nothing pair at the size ceiling, and one run of the worst in-ceiling input hit 2251 ms. Headroom under 2000 ms is about 2x, not several times. The value is right; the prose is what the next person sizes against.

Regression sweep (users who never touch the feature)

  • The PR head is one commit behind main (#11002). The five composer files at the top of the diff read as reversions of that change. Rebase before the next read of the diff.
  • normalizeGitRemoteUrl now rewrites Azure SSH remotes, so canonicalKey, displayName and owner change for every Azure repo cloned over SSH. Thread-to-PR keys are safe because they already collapsed through canonicalRepositoryKey, and SSH and HTTPS checkouts of one repo now correctly group together. One thing I could not settle: legacyPullRequestHost in the projector writes the host from canonicalKey, so rows projected before the upgrade hold ssh.dev.azure.com and new ones hold dev.azure.com, with no reconciliation. Worth a maintainer answer on whether that projection is rebuilt or appended.
  • The node-id cache now sits under setReaction and updatePullRequest too, and the key omits cwd. Correct in practice since a node id is immutable, but it is a silent change to two unrelated paths and the existing test was rewritten to match.
  • ChatView and ChatMarkdown now derive the repository from owner/name when an identity has no displayName, where they previously yielded null. That flips the header's open-pull-request affordance on for legacy identities on every provider. Probably fine, but it was not called out.
  • az devops invoke returning the same raw { value: [...] } body as az rest is only asserted against mocked stdout. If it wraps the response, review threads break for every Azure user. One manual call against a real org before merge, please.
  • Contracts are strictly additive; an older mobile client decodes the new capabilities and the new web client gates on viewedFiles !== undefined for older servers. Existing tests were adapted, none weakened.

Nits

  • Putting interactive in the viewerFlights key breaks in-flight coalescing: a listing and a press arriving inside the 1 s window now spawn two viewer lookups per host. Capacity is fine; the key has no PR number.
  • Three hand-rolled maps (heldFileRevisions, nodeIds, locations) are FIFO on insert, not LRU. A read does not reinsert, so 128 cold PR reads evict the PR being ticked. map.delete(key); map.set(key, v) on hit.
  • The one-sided section is always built and then discarded for a file near the size ceiling (15 to 120 ms). contentLines is already computed, so byteLength(contents) + lines.length > MAX_FILE_BYTES before the join skips the work.
  • Share-nothing Azure pairs now render header-only. That is header-only versus d622f4e rendering real hunks, but Azure had no Code tab on main at all, so not a user-facing regression.
  • 60 commits. Please squash before merge. The scope split from round one is still open, and the Azure diff work remains the part that would benefit most from its own PR.

Close. The memory and slice bounds are the ones I would not merge without.

Each of these had a shape a real change request reaches: a directory of
vendored assets, a minified bundle, or a reader who has ticked through
thousands of files. Reaching it cost hundreds of megabytes resident, or
thousands of subprocesses for one request, rather than a slower read.

Fourth pass on 7383233. Touched server, web, contracts and shared suites green (723 / 415 / 28 / 21), typecheck and lint clean, CI green, merges clean on current main with no overlapping files.

Everything from the last round is addressed and each fix has a test that fails without it:

  • Bitbucket memo holds the parsed path-to-revision map, not the patch body. That removes the 128 to 256 MiB residency and the per-tick reparse in one change.
  • Two-sided Azure sections are now bounded at MAX_FILE_BYTES like the one-sided path.
  • MAX_DIFF_SLICE_FILES = 300 caps a run of zero-cost entries and is subtracted from batchWidth exactly.
  • listRows has LIMIT 501 ordered by path, list reports truncated, and environmentFilesViewed passes it through instead of the hardcoded false.
  • files capped at 500 and path at 4096 on the contract.
  • Node-id map is LRU on hit, and the change to setReaction and updatePullRequest is in the description.
  • Timing comment carries the measured range.

On the viewer question: keeping it as-is is right. viewersByHost already answered a paused host from its ten-minute hold on main, so the warm path degraded per repository before this PR too; this just makes the cold path match, and getViewerPermissions was already interactive for the same reason. The updated test says exactly what changed.

Two non-blocking notes for whoever merges: the branch is two commits behind main (no overlap, no conflicts), and it is 61 commits, so a squash merge. The scope split I asked for in round one did not happen; the Azure diff support has since been bounded and measured well enough that I am not going to hold the PR on it, but it would have been easier to review on its own.

No further findings. Approving.

A held entry that no read renews is dropped by a listing walking past it, and one that no press bounds grows for as long as the review does. A file already known to be too heavy to send is not worth building to learn it.

The invoke envelope and the fields a real repository leaves out were only ever asserted against mocked output, so a change in either would have reached readers before a test.

Ran the manual call you asked for, against a real organisation and a real pull request. az devops invoke does not wrap the response: it hands back the route's own body with one key of its own added, continuation_token, read from a response header these routes do not send, so it arrives as null.

The extension is explicit about it, in azext_devops/dev/team/invoke.py:

response_dict = response.json()
response_dict["continuation_token"] = response.headers.get('X-MS-ContinuationToken')
return response_dict

All four routes this file reads, with the exact arguments it passes:

  • pullRequestThreads answered { value: [], count: 0, continuation_token: null }
  • pullRequestIterations answered { count: 1, continuation_token: null, value: [ { id, sourceRefCommit.commitId, commonRefCommit.commitId } ] }
  • pullRequestIterationChanges with $top and $skip answered { changeEntries: [...], continuation_token: null }, with no nextSkip on the only page
  • items with $format=json answered the item envelope with content as text and contentMetadata alongside it

Two things the live answer says that the published contract does not, both of which happen to land on a default in the decoder:

  • A live iteration change states changeType, item.path and item.objectId and nothing else. No gitObjectType, no isFolder. The ?? "blob" in decodeIterationChangesJson is what keeps the files of an Azure change rather than dropping every one of them.
  • contentMetadata for a markdown file carries contentType: application/octet-stream and no isBinary at all. Reading the content type instead of Azure's own word would call every text file binary.

Those four shapes are pinned now, extension key included, so a change in the envelope fails a test rather than reaching a reader: fac056be7.

* to every comparison made against a pull request URL, which arrives in the web spelling. So the
* web spelling is the one both are keyed by.

The projector question from your regression sweep, since it is the one thing in that review nobody had answered: appended, not rebuilt.

bootstrapProjector reads each projector's own cursor from projectionStateRepository.getByProjector and replays eventStore.readFromSequence(lastAppliedSequence, ...), so a row that has already been projected is never revisited, and one written before this change keeps the host it was written with. Nothing reconciles it because nothing re-reads it.

What that costs is narrower than it looks, though. legacyPullRequestHost only reaches the host taken from canonicalKey when the pull request URL fails to parse as an Azure change request at all, and changeRequestUrl.ts parses both dev.azure.com and *.visualstudio.com. So a real Azure URL always takes the parsed branch and never reads canonicalKey, which leaves the divergence reachable only for a row whose URL was already unparseable. The keys that do come from canonicalKey collapse through canonicalRepositoryKey, as you found, and ProjectionThreadPullRequests normalises on both upsert and list.

On that reading a migration would rewrite rows that are already keyed the same, so I did not write one. If you would rather have it anyway, say so and it is a small one.

Worth naming the asymmetry that made the question worth asking: live-derived values pick the change up immediately, because RepositoryIdentityResolver resolves canonicalKey from the git remote on every read, while projected rows only ever carry what they were written with.
