fix(web): composer list markers no longer clip in wider prompt fonts#18972
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.tsandcomposer-block-shortcuts.test.tspass. 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: 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

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.

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.renderHTMLaddsdata-marker-width, capped at 10. Composer ordered-list CSS sizes--list-gutterfrom 3ch through 11ch and uses the widest direct child marker through the nine-digit range. This prevents clipping for102.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:
| 1 | In `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. |

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.

| 5 | Learning: 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. |
