Composer list numbers clip against the editor edge when the prompt font is wider or larger than the interface font. This gives composer lists font-relative gutters, sized to the widest direct source marker through CommonMark’s nine-digit limit. Item metadata lets the gutter update when ProseMirror reuses the parent list, including widening and shrinking. Nested lists keep independent gutters; source Markdown and delimiters stay unchanged.

Continues @jyrkidn’s original work in #18972, preserving the contributor commits and merging main. The small render/CSS approach was retained after independent implementation review; verbose comments and unsupported universal font claims were removed.

Closes #19050.

Verification

  • 323 existing tests across composer-rich-text-doc.test.ts, composer-rich-text.test.ts, composer-list-continuation.test.ts and composer-block-shortcuts.test.ts pass. Added tests: 0 → 0; paint correctness is demonstrated in the running app rather than CSS-string or markup assertions.
  • 56 existing browser tests across list splitting, composer input and navigation pass.
  • Targeted lint, formatting and web typecheck pass.
  • Real isolated Linux Chromium app: matching 1280×800 base/head captures with 20px Liberation Mono prompt text. For the baseline, both changed production files were temporarily restored from pinned main, then restored to the reviewed head. All source markers through nine digits were exercised at 24px; nested bullets/ordered lists, ) delimiters, 600px layout, 14px Liberation Sans, ordinary typing and source Markdown serialization were checked.
  • Live marker edits reuse the same parent list: 9. → 10. → 100) → 123456789. → 9. changes the gutter 36 → 48 → 60 → 132 → 36px. No messages or provider turns were submitted.
  • One parallel adversarial review round (Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6-Sol) found no confirmed code defects; both historical findings about parent reuse and long markers are addressed.

Before — base files, clipped markers:

Before: composer markers clipped in a wider prompt font

After — reviewed head, full source markers:

After: full composer markers including nine digits

After: nested ordered and bullet gutters

Live widening and shrinking with the same parent list

Remaining verification

No macOS, Windows, Safari or Electron desktop session was available. iOS and Android native clients use their separate composer and were not run. Arbitrary custom font metrics are not universally bounded by ch; markers beyond CommonMark’s nine-digit range remain capped at the largest gutter. Human visual approval is still required.

Implementation and integration: GPT-6.1-Sol in the Codex harness through T3 Code; test pass: GPT-6-Astra; adversarial reviews: Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6-Sol.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 59842dd

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped composer rendering fix that adds marker-width metadata and font-relative gutters without changing serialized content, APIs, or broader application behavior. Its impact is limited to how existing composer lists are displayed, with no configuration, deployment, security, or static-analysis changes.

📝 Walkthrough

The composer now renders each list item's marker width as a data attribute. Composer CSS uses that width to size ordered-list gutters and applies font-scaled spacing to ordered and unordered lists.

Changes: Composer list spacing

Layer / File(s)Summary
List gutter sizing
apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.ts, apps/web/src/index.css
The renderer adds the marker width as a data attribute, capped at 10 characters. Ordered-list gutters scale with font size and increase for marker widths from 3 through 10. Unordered-list left padding uses max(1.25rem, 2ch).

Markers through nine digits have appropriately sized gutters. Longer markers may still clip in some fonts; this bounded visual edge case is mergeable with owner awareness.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem and implementation, links the relevant issue and prior work, and provides detailed verification results, screenshots, recording, and test limitations. It does not use the template headings or state maintainer approval explicitly, but the required information is substantially present for this focused bug fix.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The change meets the coding requirement in [#19050]. ComposerListItemExtension.renderHTML adds data-marker-width, capped at 10. Composer ordered-list CSS sizes --list-gutter from 3ch through 11ch and uses the widest direct child marker through the nine-digit range. This prevents clipping for 102. and longer markers. The direct-child selector keeps nested lists independent. The PR reports the existing composer and browser test suites pass.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The two changed files stay within [#19050]. The list-item metadata supports gutter updates when ProseMirror reuses a parent list. The ordered-list CSS fixes prompt-font sizing. The unordered-list gutter rule supports the same composer list layout and does not add unrelated behavior.

prosemirror-view 1.42.3 viewdesc.ts NodeViewDesc update sameMarkup

💡 Result:

1In `NodeViewDesc.update`, `sameMarkup` is the reuse gate: the new node must have the same type, attributes, and marks as the node already represented by the view descriptor. If it doesn’t, `update` returns `false`, so the descriptor can’t be reused. If it does—and the descriptor isn’t too dirty to update—the view updates its decorations and node reference, syncs children, and clears its dirty flag.

3**Version caveat:** I couldn’t verify the exact `1.42.3` source file from the available sources. The closest source confirms the general `sameMarkup` behavior, but doesn’t establish the precise implementation in that release.

Recompute the gutter when list markers grow.

NodeViewDesc.update in prosemirror-view@1.42.3 reuses the parent when its markup is unchanged, then updates only its children. A marker change from 9. to 10. changes a child attribute, not the <ol> markup. The parent can therefore retain the 3ch baseline and clip the new marker.

Recompute the parent gutter when marker attributes change.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @jyrkidn

Valid: the <ol> is reused when only an item's marker changes, so its renderHTML never saw 9. become 10.. Fixed in 48e5d73a3: items now carry data-marker-width (an item is redrawn when its marker changes), and the list widens its gutter via ol:has(> li[data-marker-width="3"]) etc., so no list re-render is needed. Checked in Chromium by appending a 10. item to a rendered 9. list: the gutter grows from 27px to 36px and nothing clips.

@jyrkidn Thanks for the fix and explanation. Moving data-marker-width to each item lets ol:has() update the gutter without an <ol> re-render. Your Chromium check covers the 9. → 10. case raised here.

Handle marker widths above five characters.

The ordered-marker path accepts any number of digits, but the CSS widens the gutter only for marker widths 3, 4, and 5. A marker such as 10000. therefore falls back to the 3ch gutter and can clip. Extend gutter sizing to cover accepted marker widths, or limit marker lengths to the supported range.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @jyrkidn

Valid. Fixed in b7ef8fa8c: gutter rules now cover marker widths 3 to 10. CommonMark caps ordered markers at 9 digits, so 123456789. is the widest marker that is a list in the Markdown the agent receives. Longer source markers clamp data-marker-width to 10 and get the widest gutter.

@jyrkidn Thanks for the fix and clarification. Rules for widths 3–10 cover the nine-digit CommonMark marker limit. Clamping longer source markers to 10 prevents the fallback to the 3ch gutter.

5Learning: In the T3Code composer, CommonMark recognizes ordered-list markers with at most nine digits, plus the delimiter. In apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.ts, longer source markers remain accepted by the composer but data-marker-width is clamped to 10. The ordered-list gutter rules in apps/web/src/index.css cover widths 3–10, so longer source markers use the widest gutter.
