Problem

With the whole window below 640 CSS px, a single-line draft in the unfocused composer shows serialized citation links instead of quote chips. Narrowing only the chat pane does not trigger this layout, and scrolling is not required. Context references and file mentions leak the same way.

Fixes #22076

Scope and approval

Submitted under the focused obvious-bug exception in CONTRIBUTING. The expanded composer already displays these saved references as chips; its collapsed row incorrectly displays their serialization. This fix restores that same existing display contract in one rendering branch, using the editor's existing parser and existing chip components. It changes no product defaults, workflows, collapse rules, prompt contents, submission behavior, or interactive popovers. File mentions, context references, and skills have the same serialization defect in that same row. The four-file diff includes the renderer, its integration, the existing icon export needed for reuse, and focused regression coverage; the policy judges purpose and behavioral impact rather than a line-count or file-count cutoff.

#22076 was accepted as a bug in maintainer triage, establishing that raw citation serialization is unintended. The follow-up reproduction identifies the below-640-CSS-px collapsed row; desktop zoom can reach that breakpoint.

Change

Render the collapsed draft with the editor's existing parser and inert chips for quotes, file mentions, context references, and available invocable skills. Unknown skills remain text. The row stays one Expand composer button; the prompt and expanded editor are unchanged.

The refresh preserves main's interactive skill popovers. Only the existing skill icon is exported for reuse in this inert preview. Environment references are recognized alongside the other context kinds. File labels use the existing cross-platform basename helper, including Windows paths.

Four files, +207/−3, including 81 browser-test lines. size:L: the renderer and its browser regression coverage implement this single collapsed-preview fix.

Verification

Current head: d931b282ec240d93aae657dd2657cfdd5d788954, merging upstream main dd148481531a0a090780a2ade20588566db099a2. The preview renderer, its browser tests, and skill icon file are byte-identical to f38d13d309e48274bd378b6e0facf392566f7e4f; ChatComposer.tsx differs only by upstream's PendingUserInputDraftAnswer type-import relocation. The local verification below was run at 136671442ed5bddb0d0bcfb0e990209031a5d37c, before those upstream merges.

vp run check:changed 5b70d81b0d77bdd5883a835173735d55992009af passed at 1366714: format, lint, both knip passes, affected typechecks, and both Chromium browser tests. The web typecheck executed; the scripts typecheck reused its unchanged successful cache.
The added environment-reference assertion failed before the icon mapping and passes with the fix. Browser coverage also checks labels, surrounding text, icons, inertness, and unknown-skill fallback.
Fresh independent Opus source review at 94c61a5a found no functional issue; its two required test comments were added. CodeRabbit then reviewed 4399c381f9b7 and found Windows filename labels were not shortened. The existing browser case reproduced that failure before the basename fix and now passes. The optional full-ChatComposer test remains a coverage limit: this suite mounts the preview directly. Cursor Auto review was unavailable due to weekly quota (NO_VERDICT).
At d931b28, all applicable GitHub CI checks, including Test Web, completed successfully; platform-gated checks are skipped. CodeRabbit's last substantive incremental review covers 6490323 and reported no actionable comments. The one-shot request for d931b28 returned “No files to review”; CodeRabbit marks d931b28 as its last reviewed commit. This reuses prior review coverage rather than claiming a fresh source-review verdict. The full-ChatComposer automated-test coverage limit above remains; the real-app captures below are manual browser proof.

Current-design visual proof

Captured on October 29 in the native T3 Browser on M1 Pro. BEFORE is official main at e34067edef2eba03c1e40bca7d2b2d933ae12b85; AFTER is GitHub's merge composition eacfd36c29c5135a4234d55335dae28609d6c8dd, whose parents are that same main and the PR head at capture, 136671442ed5bddb0d0bcfb0e990209031a5d37c. Both sides show the same upstream design. The preview renderer, its browser tests, and skill icon file at d931b28 remain byte-identical to the captured AFTER composition; ChatComposer.tsx differs only by upstream's type-import relocation. The screenshots retain their original source identities and are not a new runtime run at d931b28.

The same saved synthetic drafts, light appearance, focus state, and 100% visual scale were used in each pair. Inputs were entered through the real editor and restored from its saved draft.

Draft / CSS width	Before	After
Quote with comment · 639 px	Quote before, 639 CSS px	Quote after, 639 CSS px
File, Windows path, terminal reference, and quote · 639 px	Mixed before, 639 CSS px	Mixed after, 639 CSS px
Same mixed draft, overflow · 390 px	Mixed before, 390 CSS px	Mixed after, 390 CSS px

Expanded desktop and comment-popover controls · 1440 CSS px

Control	Before	After
Expanded editor	Desktop editor before	Desktop editor after
Citation-comment popover	Comment popover before	Comment popover after

Each desktop control pair is byte-identical. The page measured 1440×900 CSS px; native Browser emitted 1280×800 PNGs on both sides. Narrow captures are at 2× CSS resolution. Images were not resized or edited.

The collapsed preview exposes raw links before and labeled chips after, including Windows basenames and real ellipsis at 390 px. References are synthetic and have no backing provider turn or live terminal; this proves development-browser rendering, not reference navigation or installed-nightly behavior.

Limits

Context references use their serialized label and kind icon. Environment chips do not resolve live machine names or machine-type icons; upload progress is not shown.
File mentions use a generic file icon. Overflow is clipped behind the existing ellipsis.
No new installed-desktop, public-web-host, or native-mobile acceptance run is claimed.

Original implementation: Claude Opus 5.5 in T3 Code. Upstream integration and current verification: GPT-6.1-Sol through Codex. Independent integration source review: Claude Opus 5.5.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at a8d3209

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a small, self-contained web bug fix that replaces serialized citation, context, and file-mention markup with readable text only in the existing collapsed mobile composer preview. Prompt processing and persistence remain unchanged, and focused tests cover the new formatter.

Walkthrough

The collapsed composer now renders recognized segments in nonempty prompts as chips. It preserves surrounding text and retains the existing provider-unavailable and default placeholder branches for empty prompts.

Changes: Collapsed Composer Prompt Preview

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Render prompt segments as preview chips `apps/web/src/components/chat/CollapsedComposerPromptPreview.tsx`, `apps/web/src/components/chat/SkillInlineText.tsx`, `apps/web/src/components/chat/CollapsedComposerPromptPreview.browser.test.tsx`	The preview renders citations, file mentions, context references, and matching user-invocable skills as chips. Unknown context kinds render as unresolved chips. Unavailable or non-invocable skills remain raw text. Browser tests cover chip rendering and unknown skills.
Use preview in collapsed composer `apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx`	The collapsed composer passes the prompt, selected provider skills, and resolved theme to the preview. Existing empty-prompt fallback branches remain unchanged.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(web): render citation chips in the collapsed composer" matches the main change. The diff adds CollapsedComposerPromptPreview and wires it into ChatComposer's collapsed mobile row so citation, mention, context, and skill segments render as inert chips. The title is a conventional commit with a clear subject. It names citation chips only, while the change also covers file mentions, context references, and skills, so it is slightly narrower than the full scope but still names the primary fix.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #22076 requires the collapsed composer to show assistant quotes as chips, not as raw t3-citation links. The whole-PR diff against the merge base shows that ChatComposer.tsx now renders CollapsedComposerPromptPreview when prompt.trim() is non-empty. The new CollapsedComposerPromptPreview.tsx calls splitPromptIntoComposerSegments(prompt). For citation segments, it renders a ContextChip kind="citation" with a QuoteIcon and assistantCitationLabel(segment.citation). The chip is inert, with no popover or button. The change addresses the reported collapsed-row symptom. The issue asks for quote chips in the resting composer, and this change supplies them. The expanded editor path is unchanged. Browser tests in CollapsedComposerPromptPreview.browser.test.tsx cover quote labels, surrounding text, icons, and inertness, per the diff summary. The head moved to 6490323d since the previous review. The source diff for the renderer and the composer call site still supports the prior PASS conclusion. Limits: the browser suite mounts the preview directly, not the full ChatComposer. The mounted-composer path is therefore not exercised by a test. The fix does not change the root cause the issue hypothesized (resting-layout code path). It bypasses the editor in the collapsed row, which the issue does not forbid.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes apply to the collapsed composer preview. The changed files are ChatComposer.tsx (import and conditional render at the collapsed button), the new CollapsedComposerPromptPreview.tsx, its browser test file, and SkillInlineText.tsx (one-line change exporting SkillChipIcon, which the preview reuses). File mentions, context references, environment references, and invocable skills are handled by the same parser and the same inert chip rendering in that preview. They are the same class of defect in the same row: serialized draft tokens shown as raw text in the collapsed view. The PR description and linked-issue context both state this extension. No interactive skill popover, expanded editor, prompt state, or send path is modified in the diff. The unknown-skill path keeps source text, as the PR states. The file-mention label uses fileBasename(segment.path), which matches the stated cross-platform label fix. The context-reference case with kind file passes segment.label through unchanged. That label behavior is not a linked-issue requirement and is not a scope violation.

Add a browser assertion through ChatComposer for the collapsed row.
The new tests mount CollapsedComposerPromptPreview directly. The existing composer scenario mounts ComposerPromptEditor, not ChatComposer. A future regression can restore serialized prompt rendering at the ChatComposer call site while all current tests still pass. Add a focused test for a nonblank, single-line prompt in the actual collapsed mobile row. Assert that the row renders a context chip instead of t3-citation:// text.

External image Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Use a Windows-aware basename for file mention labels.

When a draft contains a recognized link such as [file.txt](C:\dir\file.txt), the parser accepts it, but basenameOfPath splits only on /. The collapsed chip therefore shows C:\dir\file.txt instead of file.txt. Use a basename helper that handles both separators. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

✅ Addressed in commit 1366714

EEtanHey14d ago

Fixed in 136671442ed5bddb0d0bcfb0e990209031a5d37c using the existing fileBasename from @t3tools/shared/path; the shared Pierre helper is unchanged. The browser regression reproduced the reported C:\dir\file.txt label before the change (1 failed / 1 passed), and the full scoped check now passes, including both browser cases.

For the separate nonblocking full-composer test suggestion: I am keeping this fix focused. There is no existing ChatComposer mount fixture; introducing its route, connection and draft-state scaffolding would expand this four-file change substantially. The current suite checks the preview's rendered behavior and the caller is verified by source inspection. Earlier full-layout captures remain explicitly labelled historical; this does not claim current full-composer integration coverage.

@EtanHey Verified the fix in 1366714 by source inspection. The preview now uses fileBasename, which handles both / and \. The browser regression checks that C:\dir\file.txt displays as file.txt. The shared Pierre helper is unchanged.

Keeping the full-composer fixture out of this fix is reasonable. That suggestion remains nonblocking. I did not rerun the checks, and this verification does not establish full-composer integration coverage.

native ios/android and installed electron clients, macos/windows, hosted web, relay/tunnel connections, other providers, and dark appearance were not exercised. runtime coverage here is quotes/comments and file mentions; skills and the other context-reference kinds have focused browser-test coverage, not a real-provider acceptance run. check:changed was not rerun because this verification changed no source.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

these checks fail on 8446cafabd, also when run again: Check, Test Web, and the rework changed nothing:

No code change: the failing check has nothing to do with this PR. 'Test Web' failed on one case, RightPanelTabs.browser.test.tsx > 'a flick that scrolls the tab strip to its left edge keeps the thread, a swipe from the edge goes back' (navigateHistory never called with 'back'). 'Check' failed only because it requires every job to pass. This PR does not touch RightPanelTabs or its test, and both files match origin/main exactly. I ran the test file three times at 8446cafabd and the same case failed every time. In a clean worktree at current origin/main (c82e1ba515c88922306a92a42c5ff1b0f686205f), the same command fails the same way. The failure is on main, last touched by 11611419f3 (#33396), and needs a fix there. The collapsed-composer change itself is unaffected. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

Evidence

Real Chromium web client, light theme, fresh isolated databases and identical synthetic data on each commit. At 639 × 850 CSS pixels, select “first fixture” in an assistant response → Cite → Save → click the response to collapse → Expand composer. Repeat collapse/expand at 390 × 850.

Base exposes serialized citation markup; head keeps the quote chip. Expansion retains the citation on both sides.

Capture	Before — a03d9bce02	After — 8b80feb1ee
Collapsed, 639 px	Before: raw citation serialization at 639 px	After: readable quote chip at 639 px
Expanded, 639 px	Before: intact expanded citation	After: intact expanded citation
Collapsed, 390 px	Before: raw citation serialization at 390 px	After: readable quote chip at 390 px
Reference matrix, 639 px	Before: collapsed serialization beside expanded chips	After: collapsed and expanded reference chips
Terminal backing payload	Before: terminal record contains saved text	After: same terminal backing payload

The matrices show backed terminal, annotation, imported element, review-comment, thread, environment, image and file references, plus a file mention. The absent terminal and absent mention/skill-context references remain unresolved in both head views. The terminal popover proves its backing record contains saved text. Element import converts to an annotation.

Before recording · After recording (startup splash trimmed; identical scripted interactions).

Before full stills · After full stills, including expanded 390 px captures.

Standalone driver · Reproduction instructions · Matrix generator. The driver starts and seeds each checkout itself; it requires no private pairing file or scenario start helper. Each still follows two identical screenshots 500 ms apart. No implementation changes were made.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

Resolved invocable $skill chips were not exercised because the replay provider does not advertise skills; absent skill-context references were captured as unresolved.
The desktop zoom route and native mobile clients were not run; evidence covers the web client at the requested narrow CSS viewport widths.
