- **Background**: Use a single `.background { }` with a `ZStack` inside instead of chaining multiple `.background()` calls.
- **No-op backgrounds**: Never add invisible backgrounds like `.background(Capsule().fill(Color.clear))` — they create layout wrappers with zero visual effect.
- **No animated insertions in chat `LazyVStack`**: ANY animated insertion/removal in a `LazyVStack` triggers `motionVectors` — an O(n) `sizeThatFits` measurement over ALL children that defeats lazy loading and causes multi-minute hangs. The chat message list uses `.transaction { $0.animation = nil }` to suppress all insertion animations. Do NOT remove that modifier or wrap content mutations in `withAnimation` that flows into the `LazyVStack`. See [`.transaction` docs](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/transaction(_:)) and [WWDC23: Demystify SwiftUI performance](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10160/).
- **No `.frame(maxWidth:, alignment:)` inside LazyVStack cell hierarchy**: `.frame(maxWidth:)` creates [`_FlexFrameLayout`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/frame(minwidth:idealwidth:maxwidth:minheight:idealheight:maxheight:alignment:)) whose `placement()` queries each child's explicit alignment via [`ViewDimensions.subscript`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/viewdimensions). Nested FlexFrames recurse O(depth × children) per layout pass. **This includes `.frame(maxWidth: X)` with no explicit alignment** — it defaults to `.center`, still triggering the query. See [WWDC23: Demystify SwiftUI performance](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10160/). Safe alternatives:
- `.frame(width: exactWidth)` — [`_FrameLayout`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/frame(width:height:alignment:)), no alignment query.
- `HStack { content; Spacer(minLength: 0) }` — leading alignment without queries.
- `HStack { Spacer(minLength: 0); content }` — trailing alignment without queries.
- [`.containerRelativeFrame(.horizontal)`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/containerrelativeframe(_:alignment:)) — width constraint without FlexFrame.

Never trade `HStack+Spacer` for `.frame(alignment:)` in lazy containers — fewer layout nodes is not worth O(n) recursive alignment queries per node.
- **`AlignmentBarrierLayout` for LazyVStack protection**: Wrap content inside a `ScrollView` that contains a `LazyVStack` with `AlignmentBarrierLayout { ... }` to block `explicitAlignment` queries from cascading into the lazy container. The barrier returns `nil` for all alignment queries while passing through sizing and placement unchanged. This is a defense-in-depth measure — even if `.frame(maxWidth:, alignment:)` modifiers exist above the barrier, the alignment cascade stops at the barrier and never reaches the `LazyVStack`. See [`Layout.explicitAlignment`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/layout/explicitalignment(of:in:proposal:subviews:cache:)-3iqmu) and `clients/shared/DesignSystem/Layout/AlignmentBarrierLayout.swift`.
- **Gallery**: When adding or modifying a design system primitive/component, update the corresponding Gallery section file (`Gallery/Sections/`) so the visual catalog stays current.

🚩 Remaining .frame(maxWidth:) usages in non-modified files

The PR removes .frame(maxWidth:) from LazyVStack cell hierarchies in the modified files, but several unmodified files still use the pattern within the same LazyVStack: ChatBubbleAttachmentContent.swift:144,269,408, ChatLoadingSkeleton.swift:37,45, ChatEmptyStateView.swift:124,154,167,400. If the AGENTS.md rule about no .frame(maxWidth:) in LazyVStack cells is to be enforced consistently, these would need follow-up. However, attachment views with fixed max widths (not alignment: parameter) may produce _FlexFrameLayout without the problematic alignment queries, so the performance impact may vary.

These are all outside the scope of this PR and protected by the AlignmentBarrierLayout barrier — alignment queries from the outer .frame(maxWidth:) chain stop at the barrier and never reach the LazyVStack. The remaining sites in ChatBubbleAttachmentContent, ChatLoadingSkeleton, and ChatEmptyStateView can be addressed in a follow-up if spindump shows any residual hits after the barrier is verified.

🔴 .containerRelativeFrame(.horizontal) on error bubbles resolves against ScrollView, overflowing LazyVStack padding

The error bubble branch in bubbleChrome replaced .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) with .containerRelativeFrame(.horizontal). .containerRelativeFrame resolves against the nearest scroll container (the ScrollView in MessageListView.swift:113), returning the full ScrollView visible width. However, the LazyVStack content has horizontal padding of VSpacing.xl (24pt) per side applied at MessageListContentView.swift:272-273. The old .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) expanded within the parent's proposed width (already accounting for padding), while .containerRelativeFrame(.horizontal) ignores the padding and returns the raw ScrollView width. This makes error bubbles ~48pt wider than the content area, causing horizontal overflow.

Layout chain showing the mismatch

ScrollView (width W) → AlignmentBarrierLayout → LazyVStack.padding(.horizontal, VSpacing.xl) → cell proposed (W − 48pt) → HStack → VStack → bubbleChrome → .containerRelativeFrame(.horizontal) resolves to W (not W − 48pt)

Prompt for agents
The error bubble in bubbleChrome uses .containerRelativeFrame(.horizontal) which resolves against the ScrollView, ignoring the LazyVStack's horizontal padding (VSpacing.xl per side, applied in MessageListContentView). This causes error bubbles to be ~48pt wider than the content area.

The fix needs to replace .containerRelativeFrame(.horizontal) with a pattern that expands to the parent's proposed width (which already accounts for padding) without using .frame(maxWidth:) (which is banned by AGENTS.md for LazyVStack cells). Options:

1. Use an HStack + Spacer pattern like other views in this PR:
   HStack(spacing: 0) { content(); Spacer(minLength: 0) }
   This provides leading-aligned full-width expansion without FlexFrame.

2. Use .containerRelativeFrame with explicit size computation that subtracts the known padding.

3. Use a GeometryReader in .background to measure and constrain, though this is more complex.

Option 1 (HStack+Spacer) is most consistent with the rest of this PR's approach and should be the preferred fix. The error background fill (bubbleChromeBackground) is already applied via .background so it will naturally extend to the HStack's width.

This is a known tradeoff already documented in the PR's testing checklist. The alternatives were evaluated:

  1. HStack+Spacer — already tried and rejected. The Codex bot correctly identified (comment ci: add terraform apply workflow on platform changes #3) that the error bubble sits inside a content-sized VStack, so the Spacer collapses to zero and the error background shrinks to content width instead of spanning full-width.
  2. .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) — the original code, banned by AGENTS.md for LazyVStack cells (creates _FlexFrameLayout with alignment queries).
  3. .containerRelativeFrame(.horizontal) — resolves against the ScrollView, which is ~48pt wider than the padded content area. The error background may extend beyond the normal content bounds.

Option 3 is the least-bad choice. The AlignmentBarrierLayout is the primary hang fix — this .containerRelativeFrame is defense-in-depth. The user flagged this for visual verification during local Xcode testing.

🚩 optionalMaxWidth semantic change from .frame(maxWidth:) to .frame(width:) forces exact widths

The optionalMaxWidth helper at clients/macos/vellum-assistant/Features/Chat/MarkdownSegmentView.swift:914-920 changed from .frame(maxWidth: width, alignment: .leading) to .frame(width: width, alignment: .leading). This is a meaningful behavioral change: maxWidth allows the view to be narrower than the cap if the parent proposes less, while width forces the view to report exactly that width regardless of the parent's proposal.

This affects code blocks (line 869) and horizontal rules (line 110). For code blocks, this means they will always be exactly maxContentWidth wide instead of shrinking to fit. Since maxContentWidth flows from bubbleMaxWidth which is already computed as min(chatBubbleMaxWidth, containerWidth - 2*xl) at MessageListContentView.swift:274-276, overflow is unlikely in normal usage. However, during transient states (sidebar resize, window narrowing before the environment updates), the fixed width could briefly exceed the available space. The function name optionalMaxWidth is now misleading since it applies an exact width, not a maximum.

Acknowledged — the function name optionalMaxWidth is now semantically inaccurate since it applies .frame(width:) not .frame(maxWidth:). However, on macOS (the target platform), text goes through SelectableRunView which uses a pre-measured .frame(width: measurement.size.width) — it never hits optionalMaxWidth. The only callers post-PR are code blocks (MarkdownSegmentView.swift:869) and horizontal rules (MarkdownSegmentView.swift:110), both of which should fill to exact width. The transient-state overflow risk is theoretical since bubbleMaxWidth is already computed from containerWidth which updates via onGeometryChange.

A rename to optionalWidth would be more accurate, but keeping the existing name to minimize diff churn in this performance PR.
