fix(clients): parse angle-bracketed thread link destinations#30709

Angle-bracketed thread-link destinations such as [Essay](<t3-thread://v2/env/thread>) are treated as nested autolinks. Relabeling produces nested Markdown instead of one clean link, and mobile fails to identify the destination for its thread chip.

Recognize the angle brackets as part of the labeled link in the shared parser and mobile chip-target extraction. The diff is limited to these parser changes and their regression cases. Thread title and project-icon lookup is already provided by merged #32830.

Validation: both angle-bracket regressions fail with the main-branch parsers and pass with this fix. vp run check:changed passes. Updated against origin/main with git merge -s ort origin/main.

Original parsing fix by Devin for @ScriptedAlchemy. Scope narrowed and verified by GPT 6.1 Sol through the Codex harness in T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change fixes citation rendering by supporting angle-bracketed links and loading cited threads missing from shell state. It also adds two lint suppressions for the new loading effects, which require human review.

Needs human approval because:

  • Macroscope's correctness review did not reach a verdict

Walkthrough

Thread-link parsing now accepts angle-bracketed destinations. Mobile and web code mount thread families for referenced threads that are missing from local state.

Changes: Thread link parsing and resolution

Layer / File(s)Summary
Angle-bracketed thread-link parsing
packages/shared/src/threadLinks.ts, packages/shared/src/threadLinks.test.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/enrichedLinkPresentation.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/enrichedLinkPresentation.test.ts
The shared parser and mobile matcher accept angle-bracketed destinations. Tests cover reference extraction, relabeling, and mobile target parsing.
Mount missing referenced threads
apps/mobile/src/state/entities.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/MarkdownThreadLink.tsx
The mobile label hook and web Markdown link component mount thread families when a referenced thread is missing locally. They release mounts when dependencies change or effects clean up.

Thread citations that are missing from the local snapshot may flicker or show "Thread no longer available" while the thread is still loading or after a failed read. IDs containing percent escapes may not resolve. The parsing fix is sound, but the on-demand loading behavior should be fixed before merge.

Explanation

The title "fix(clients): parse angle-bracketed thread link destinations" matches the main change. The diff makes the shared labeled-link parser and mobile chip-target extraction accept angle-bracketed thread link destinations. The title follows conventional commit style and names the specific behavior changed.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the problem, the change, and the verification. It explains that angle-bracketed destinations break relabeling and mobile chip identification. It names the affected parser and mobile extraction code, and it reports that both regression tests fail on main and pass with the fix. It also reports that vp run check:changed passes. The Scope and approval section does not link a triaged issue or maintainer approval. It also gives no explanation for why the fix qualifies without a prior issue. The template requires that information. The description also omits the agent model and harness line at the end of the template, though the author does name GPT 6.1 Sol and the Codex harness in the closing line. The Problem and Change sections are reasonably complete, and the Verification section is specific.

Resolution

Add a Scope and approval section. Link the triaged bug issue or the maintainer-approved discussion, with the approval comment. If no issue exists, explain why this small, focused fix of an obvious bug qualifies without prior approval. Keep the existing Problem, Change, and Verification content.

Keep the family mount while the citation is visible.

When a family read supplies a missing title, the reference leaves missingKey. The effect cleanup then releases the mount, which removes the family rows from the merged snapshot. The title becomes missing again, so the hook mounts the family again. This can repeatedly toggle the citation and rerender the screen.

apps/web/src/components/chat/MarkdownThreadLink.tsx Line 34 has the same lifecycle. Keep each required mount until the citation changes or unmounts, rather than until its mounted row appears. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

This finding applied to the removed thread-family loading code. The current head, da9f863, merges main and retains the metadata lookup from #32830; it does not mount thread families from link components or release them when a title appears. Only the two angle-bracket parsers and their tests differ from main. Resolving as addressed by removal of that code.

Read the written ID before preferring the decoded ID.

If a thread ID contains a literal escape, such as provider%3A1, and its shell is omitted, this code reads only provider:1. The existing link contract treats the written ID as the first candidate. The citation therefore remains unresolved, or can resolve to a different thread. Read both candidates and prefer the written ID after its read settles. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

The decoded-only family lookup was removed. Current main code from #32830 reads candidates from threadLinkCandidates, which orders the written ID before the decoded fallback, and the browser regression covers both literal-ID precedence and decoded fallback. The current PR diff changes only angle-bracket parsing and its tests. Resolving as addressed by removal of the old lookup.

Do not treat an unsettled family read as a missing thread.

While a read is pending or has failed, titles has no entry, so relabelThreadLinks removes a v2 link or displays “Thread no longer available” for an unlabeled link. The web component also renders that unavailable state at apps/web/src/components/chat/MarkdownThreadLink.tsx Lines 47–49 without checking the read result. Subscribe to the family read status and show the unavailable state only after a successful settled read confirms absence. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

This is required by the PR objective that “No longer available” appears only after a settled read.

The PR no longer adds family reads or changes missing-thread rendering. Those changes were removed when main was merged, and the metadata implementation from #32830 remains in place. Web keeps links clickable while lookup is pending or offline and shows unavailable only after a successful settled lookup proves absence; mobile retains its provisional display label independently of confirmed navigation matches. Resolving this finding against the removed implementation.

@Yash-Singh1 I verified the current PR head. The family-read changes are no longer in the diff.

Mobile uses a provisional Thread label while metadata is pending or fails. Web shows the unresolved state only after a successful, settled lookup. I did not run the tests.

The missing-shell title lookup portion is superseded by merged PR #32830, which loads thread-link titles and project icons on web, desktop, and mobile. This PR is not fully superseded: its angle-bracket destination parsing fix did not land there. I reproduced the remaining shared parser bug with [Essay](<t3-thread://v2/env/thread>), which is rewritten into a nested Markdown link rather than one clean labeled link. Leaving this PR open for the remaining parsing fix.

Narrowed this PR to angle-bracket destination parsing and its regression tests. Merged origin/main with git merge -s ort origin/main, keeping main's metadata lookup from #32830 and removing this PR's thread-family loading changes. Only the shared parser, mobile chip-target parser, and their two test files differ from main. Both regressions fail without the parser changes and pass with them; vp run check:changed passes.
