Problem

On iPhone, searching Home and opening a matching thread kept the search. Going back showed the list still filtered by the old query, with the text still in the search field, so you had to clear it by hand every time (https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/26321). Web already clears the sidebar search when you pick a result.

Change

Opening a thread, a pending task or a new draft from a row on Home now clears the search, matching web. The clear waits until the thread has finished covering Home, uses the same cancel path as the search bar's Cancel button, and also empties the native search field. Split layouts (iPad and the unfolded Duo) and Android are unchanged.

Scope

A bug fix: the search has to be cleared by hand after every result. Bug report: https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/26321. It brings iPhone in line with web's existing behavior, adds no setting and changes no product default.

Against the live head 1b5b28b4d5, one thing changes with the merge of main: a queued clear no longer runs on the disappear that ends a tab switch, because main's #35325 stopped counting that as Home being covered; it runs when the opened page covers Home, as before.

Verification

On an iPhone simulator (iOS 26.5) and an Android 16 emulator (arm64, software rendering), with main at 371963ce0b (it includes #35325) and this branch at 1cbc0c7c16 (it merges that main), I searched Home for "boot", opened "Fix the boot screen" and went back. On main the iPhone list was still filtered and the field still said boot; on the branch it showed the full list with search resting. Android keeps the query on both, as intended. home-route-visibility.test.ts passes on the branch and fails with main's behavior (details).

iPhone, main 371963ce0b: still filtered, the field still says boot

iPhone, branch 1cbc0c7c16: full list, search resting

Recordings from the search to back on Home: main 371963ce0b (mp4), branch 1cbc0c7c16 (mp4).

Not checked:

iPad and the unfolded Duo split view, which are expected to keep the query.
The iPhone Duo folded, and a physical iPhone.
An interrupted push on a device. The unit test covers dropping the queued clear when Home starts to reappear first.

Android, search reopened, Settings search, change detail, method and tests

	`main` 371963ce0b	branch 1cbc0c7c16
iPhone, search before opening the result	iPhone, main 371963ce0b: Home filtered by boot iPhone, main 371963ce0b: Home filtered by boot
iPhone, search opened again		iPhone, branch 1cbc0c7c16: search reopened with an empty field iPhone, branch 1cbc0c7c16: search reopened with an empty field
Android, back on Home	Android, main 371963ce0b: search kept Android, main 371963ce0b: search kept	Android, branch 1cbc0c7c16: search kept, as on main Android, branch 1cbc0c7c16: search kept, as on main

The clear waits until the thread has finished covering Home, so the list does not swap to the full list or jump while it slides away. If Home starts to reappear before the push finishes, the clear is dropped.
It uses the same cancel path as the search bar's Cancel button: search goes back to resting and the list returns to where it was scrolled before the search. Home and the iOS toolbar now share one cancel method on the workspace's search state.
The native search field kept its own text after a cancel that did not come from the field itself. The toolbar now empties the field whenever it re-syncs it while search is resting.

Split layouts (iPad and the unfolded Duo) keep the query as before, since the list usually stays beside the thread. The unfolded Duo in portrait is the exception: its list is an overlay that hides when you pick a thread, so it could clear too. I left it unchanged because I could not test a Duo. Android is unchanged: its search field keeps its own open state, so clearing only the query would come back to an open, empty field. Making Android match would mean moving that state out of its toolbar, which this PR does not do.

selectThreadSearchResult is web's existing clear before navigating. This is a small, focused fix for an obvious bug that brings iPhone in line with web's existing behavior (selectThreadSearchResult clears the search before navigating). It adds no setting and changes no product default. The issue's comment from kevvykevwin pointed out the timing, cancel and native-field details this change follows.

The branch merges main at 371963ce0b. main's #35325 changed recordHomeTransitionEnd in home-route-visibility.ts so that the disappear ending a tab switch no longer hides Home; the merge keeps that and runs the queued clear under the same condition (Home closing and not focused). main's Settings search behavior from #34893 is kept: on the branch, "theme" typed in Settings search stays after Settings > Chats > Settings.

Settings search on the branch	After Settings > Chats > Settings
iPhone, branch 1cbc0c7c16: Settings search for theme iPhone, branch 1cbc0c7c16: Settings search for theme	iPhone, branch 1cbc0c7c16: Settings search still says theme after the tab round trip iPhone, branch 1cbc0c7c16: Settings search still says theme after the tab round trip

Method: the test server named "Test machine" held a sample project with three finished Replay (dev) threads; one dev client per platform built for main's native fingerprint (the branch shares it), with JavaScript served by Metro from each revision's own checkout; taps and typed text through the T3 Device panel. Steps on both phones: search Home for "boot", open "Fix the boot screen", go back.

During the push the list behind the thread stays filtered. Frame at 11.55 s of the recording on the branch:

iPhone, branch 1cbc0c7c16: mid-push, the list behind still shows only the matching thread

The search field shows its placeholder for a frame as the push starts. The recording on main shows the same at the same point after the tap, so it does not come from this change.

The test on main 371963ce0b with only the missing runWhenHomeCovered added as a stub that never runs its action (on main nothing clears the search):

text

1	FAIL \|unit\| src/features/home/home-route-visibility.test.ts > runWhenHomeCovered > waits for the page opening over Home to finish covering it, then runs once
2	AssertionError: expected "vi.fn()" to be called 1 times, but got 0 times
3	Tests 1 failed \| 1 passed (2)

On this branch (1cbc0c7c16), with main's home-route-visibility.test.tsx on the same path, its two #35325 cases included:

text

1	✓ \|unit\| src/features/home/home-route-visibility.test.ts > runWhenHomeCovered > waits for the page opening over Home to finish covering it, then runs once
2	✓ \|unit\| src/features/home/home-route-visibility.test.ts > runWhenHomeCovered > drops the action when Home reappears before it is covered
3	✓ \|react\| src/features/home/home-route-visibility.test.tsx > keeps the sidebar thread list live after switching tabs beside a focused Thread
4	✓ \|react\| src/features/home/home-route-visibility.test.tsx > keeps the phone thread list live after a round trip through PRs
5	✓ \|react\| src/features/home/home-route-visibility.test.tsx > keeps the phone thread list live after a round trip through Settings
6	Tests 5 passed (5)

Earlier runs on main 7462f234e8 (head 44ef24c039, merge 7cb23b0037; iPhone 17 Pro simulator, iOS 26.5, and an Android 15 emulator, Pixel 7 profile, arm64, software rendering through SwiftShader) and on main f419698aea (merge 1b5b28b4d5) showed the same. main has since changed WorkspaceToolbar.tsx (#34893) and home-route-visibility.ts (#35325), so those captures are not reused.

Prior PRs

No earlier PR for this fix. Related PR https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/27184 by camchis, merged on 2026-11-01, fixed a different bug in the same area: on iOS 27, an empty search closed with the X reopened when you returned to Home. It changed which searches are restored; this PR clears a search that has a query when you open a result. This branch now includes it, and the toolbar change sits beside its restore check in WorkspaceToolbar.tsx, where main moved the iOS toolbar.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 919df18

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Opening a Home search result on iPhone clears the search once the detail screen covers Home and restores the previous list position. The change is limited to transient UI state, with Android and split-layout behavior preserved.

Walkthrough

Thread selection in eligible mobile layouts now schedules Home search cancellation after Home is covered. Workspace context performs cancellation and records the search-entry offset. The toolbar delegates cancellation and clears the native search field when search mode is resting.

Changes: Home search cancellation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Deferred cancellation and workspace search state `apps/mobile/src/features/home/home-route-visibility.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/features/home/home-route-visibility.test.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/features/layout/workspace/WorkspaceTabsContext.tsx`, `apps/mobile/src/features/layout/workspace/WorkspaceToolbar.tsx`	Home transition tracking stores, clears, and runs a pending action. Workspace context records the search-entry offset and dispatches cancellation. The toolbar delegates cancellation and clears the native search field when search mode is resting. Tests cover running or discarding the pending action.
Thread route selection `apps/mobile/src/features/home/HomeRouteScreen.tsx`	For a non-empty query in a non-Android stacked layout with a workspace, thread selection schedules search cancellation when Home is covered. Other cases select the route without cancellation.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: opening a search result from Home on iPhone now clears Home's search. It follows the conventional commit form and matches the raw summary, which routes thread selection through selectThreadRoute and clears the search only on stacked, non-Android layouts.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#26321] The reviewed head still implements the requested behavior on the stacked iPhone layout. In HomeRouteScreen.tsx, selectThreadRoute calls runWhenHomeCovered(() => workspace.cancelSearch("threads")) when searchQuery !== "", the platform is not Android, the layout is not split, and a workspace exists. handleSelectThread and the new-thread-on-branch path both use this helper. In home-route-visibility.ts, the queued action runs in recordHomeTransitionEnd when a closing transition ends with Home not focused. recordHomeTransitionStart drops the queued action when Home starts to reappear first. The whole-PR diff (merge base to head) matches this logic. Split layouts and Android keep the query, as the issue allows. The earlier WorkspaceTabsContext.tsx and WorkspaceToolbar.tsx changes, which supply cancelSearch and native-field clearing, were not re-read in this pass. Their prior PASS conclusion is carried forward. The PR description says a later merge keeps main's hide condition and stops the clear on tab switches. The visible transition code does not show that condition, so that detail is not independently confirmed here. Device checks on iPad, folded Duo, and a physical iPhone were not performed. The issue does not require them.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed hunks in HomeRouteScreen.tsx and home-route-visibility.ts implement the clear-on-open behavior for [#26321]. The helper runWhenHomeCovered and the transition-start drop logic are needed for timing the clear. The Platform.OS and split-layout guards keep Android and split layouts unchanged, as the issue permits. The WorkspaceTabsContext.tsx and WorkspaceToolbar.tsx changes, reviewed earlier, provide the shared cancel path and native-field clearing that the PR describes. The merged main changes from #34893, #27894, #33783, and #35325 were not fully inspected, so no scope claim is made for files outside these paths. The incremental changes were not fully re-audited.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and each is substantive. The Problem section states the bug and expected behavior with an issue link. The Change section explains the fix and the split-layout and Android exclusions. The Scope section names the bug fix, links issue #26321, and explains why no setting or default changes. The Verification section lists devices, OS versions, commands, before/after captures, a test run with output, and items not checked. It also states what was not checked, as the template requires. The description is long and contains some material that does not belong in the template, such as a merge history and an Android discussion. Those points do not remove required content, so the check passes.

Merged main into this branch to clear the conflict (44ef24c039). Main moved the iOS workspace toolbar from WorkspaceToolbar.ios.tsx into WorkspaceToolbar.tsx, so the toolbar part of this fix (Cancel through the shared cancelSearch, and emptying the native field while search is resting) now lives there. It's still iOS-only. Nothing was dropped. The unit test still fails on main and passes here, and vp run check:changed passes. I retook the iPhone before/after captures on the merged head and updated them in the description.

Re this review: I'm keeping the tests at the helper. home-route-visibility.test.ts covers the timing that can break: the clear runs once Home is covered and is dropped when Home reappears first (it fails on main's code and passes here). The route side is one inline condition in HomeRouteScreen.tsx (a query is set, not Android, not split view) that hands cancelSearch to that helper, so a route-level test would mostly check mocked navigation and providers, the callback wiring AGENTS.md asks to leave untested. The device runs in the description show that condition on iPhone (search cleared) and Android (search kept).

I merged main to clear the conflict with #35325. The one part I resolved by hand: the function that runs when Home finishes a transition now uses main's hide condition and keeps this PR's search clear under it. So the clear no longer runs when a tab switch ends; it still runs when an opened page covers Home.
