Problem

Fixes #23625. When a new worktree starts from a branch like new-design, the branch trigger in the composer and the branch row in the thread details panel show Fromnew-design instead of From new-design.

resolveBranchTriggerLabel returns the right string. MiddleTruncate then splits it into "From " and "new-design" (the default tail is 10 characters) and renders the two parts as separate flex items. A flex item collapses trailing whitespace in its text, so the space at the cut never renders. This affects any middle-truncated label whose cut lands next to a space.

Change

In apps/web/src/components/ui/middle-truncate.tsx:

The head and tail spans use whitespace-pre, so a space at the cut renders. The head swaps truncate for overflow-hidden text-ellipsis, because truncate also sets white-space: nowrap and would override whitespace-pre. Labels still don't wrap, and the head still ends in an ellipsis when it overflows.
whitespace-pre would also keep line breaks. Before this change the container's nowrap turned them into spaces. Line breaks in the split parts are now replaced with spaces, so a label (for example a changed-file name containing a newline) stays on one line. The unsplit path and the title attribute are unchanged.

splitForMiddleTruncate is unchanged.

Scope and approval

One component and its test file. Issue #23625 describes the bug. CONTRIBUTING.md lets a very small, focused fix for an obvious bug go in without prior approval, so no maintainer approval was requested.

Verification

Focused checks, all run from apps/web:

vp test run --project unit src/components/ui/middle-truncate.test.tsx: 3/3 pass. The tests cover the From new-design split, the classes on the rendered spans (whitespace-pre, the ellipsis on the head, no truncate), and line breaks being flattened in a value that splits.
vp lint and vp fmt on both changed files: pass.
vp exec tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json: no errors in the changed files.

Manual check: I ran a dev build of this branch with isolated state (vp run dev in the worktree, using its own .t3) and opened it in desktop Chrome. On a test repo I chose New worktree, turned "Start from remote" off and picked new-design. Both the composer trigger and the thread details panel read From new-design (screenshot below).

Not checked: the other places that use MiddleTruncate (file paths, project names) outside the unit test, the mobile app (it doesn't use this web component), and a file name containing an actual newline in the running app.

UI Changes

Before:

Branch trigger showing "Fromnew-design"

After:

Composer and thread details showing "From new-design"

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at d2a7e7e

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a small, self-contained UI bug fix that preserves spaces in existing middle-truncated labels while retaining overflow and ellipsis behavior. A focused rendering test covers the changed boundary case, with no API, configuration, or production workflow changes.

Explanation

The title names the main change: branch labels keep the space before a middle-truncated name. The raw summary shows whitespace-pre on the head and tail spans in middle-truncate.tsx, which addresses the missing space. The title is specific and accurate. It is slightly long at 69 characters but within a conventional commit style.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #23625 requires From new-design in the New worktree branch trigger and thread details row. The PR preserves whitespace in the split MiddleTruncate spans and replaces line breaks with spaces. The reported focused tests cover the branch-label split, required span classes, and line-break handling.

Normalize line breaks before rendering split labels.

MiddleTruncate now overrides its root whitespace-nowrap with whitespace-pre on both split spans. A changed file name containing a newline can therefore render on multiple lines.

✅ Addressed in commit ee5d318

Gguryanov-a19d ago

Fixed in ee5d318: line breaks in the split head and tail are now replaced with spaces before rendering, so the label stays on one line. The unsplit path and the title are unchanged, and a unit test covers a value with a newline that splits.

CcoderabbitaiBot19d ago

@guryanov-a Thanks. The supplied code normalizes line breaks in both split segments and preserves the unsplit path and title. This addresses the finding.

fix(web): preserve label spacing with current truncation3146a7b

Mmaria15d ago

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

@guryanov-a thanks for identifying the collapsed space between the two flex items and preserving single-line labels. i kept both of your commits and merged current main into this branch without rebasing.

resolved the conflict against main's newer truncation code. the final diff is one component, 5 additions and 3 deletions. it preserves whitespace and flattens line breaks inline, while retaining main's word-boundary splitting, whole-glyph clipping, and tail ellipsis. dropped the helper and static-markup/class-string tests; main's existing unit and browser tests remain.

verification at 3146a7b9ac23bea28459865dc5d677f2ccfad007:

passed vp run check:changed through blacksmith: format, lint, both knip checks, affected web/scripts typechecks, and all 6 existing truncation tests.
reproduced on current main using the real new-worktree picker with local branch abcdefghij and start-from-remote off. verified the restored space in composer and thread details in system chrome, including 900px dark mode and hiding the details panel.
direct component runtime checks confirmed newline flattening, single-line height, tail ellipsis under overflow, original titles, and switching back to main without stale clipping.
two independent gpt-6.1-sol reviews approved this exact head without findings.
github ci passed after fork-workflow approval, including build/typecheck, lint, web tests, server checks, and the final Check job. coderabbit's latest review is rate-limited; its green status does not represent a fresh review. native electron and mobile were not exercised; mobile does not use this web component.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at 3146a7b9ac23bea28459865dc5d677f2ccfad007 on a disposable linux boat vm. no code changes or pushes.

installed and ran github/main (36aea583bb) in a separate worktree first. reproduced Fromabcdefghij in both the composer and thread details. stopped that server and ran the exact pr head with its own state.
used the repository's playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome. added a real git project through the app, selected new worktree, disabled start from remote, and selected local branch abcdefghij. the pr displays From abcdefghij in both places. checked 1440px and 900px layouts, plus dark mode.
submitted real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the composer and local proxy. worktree creation succeeded from the selected base. the provider read README.md, reported the real branch and directory, and edited the file. the client displayed the resulting diff, which matched git diff on disk.
a second provider turn created a real filename containing a newline. its changed-file label stays on one line (16px segments), displays a space, retains the original newline in its tooltip, and opens the correct diff.
neighboring behavior: long branch names retain whole-glyph clipping, ellipsis and the final abcdefghij; switching back to main clears clipping. hiding and reopening thread details preserves the branch label.
blacksmith passed all six existing focused truncation tests: five unit tests and one chromium browser test. installed the missing remote chromium prerequisite before the successful run. existing head ci reports 25 successful checks, zero failing or pending.

runtime transcript

main: composer and thread details collapse the space

pr: composer and thread details preserve the space

main at 900px: collapsed branch-label space

pr at 900px: preserved branch-label space

real codex turn: worktree execution and README diff

real newline filename stays on one line and opens its diff

branch switching, long-name truncation and thread-details toggle

Not verified

native electron, macos/windows, ios/android, remote relay/tunnel connections, and other provider adapters were not exercised on this linux vm. mobile does not consume this web component. no full suite or fresh check:changed run was needed because this pass changed no product files; the focused tests above were rerun here through blacksmith.

media rendering limitation: git.cafe renders these external embeds as links. github renders all seven screenshots, but its external mp4 image embed is not an inline player. the uploaded recording itself was played to the end and seeking was verified in chrome.
