In the rich-text composer, a quote followed directly by a comment came back with an empty line between them every time the composer remounted: after a page reload, after switching threads and back, or after switching a right-panel side chat to another tab (such as Files) and back. Deleting the line did not help, because it reappeared on the next remount. When a long draft remounted unfocused (the side chat on a tab switch, or the main composer after a reload while the terminal has focus), the composer also showed the top of the draft while its caret sat at the end.
Reproduced on main (2e39f1d7de) in the web dev server. Type > and Space, the quote text, Shift+Enter twice, then a comment, and reload. The editor holds <blockquote>…</blockquote><p><br></p><p>comment</p>. In a side chat with a 32-line draft scrolled to the end (scrollTop 559), switching to Files and back returned the composer at scrollTop 0 and unfocused.
composer-rich-text-doc.ts: when a draft is saved, a blank line is written between a quote and the prose after it, so Markdown does not fold the prose into the quote (needsBlankLineAfterQuote). The parser now treats that one blank line as the separator, not as an empty paragraph. It applies only when the blank line comes right after a quote and right before a non-empty, non-list prose line. Additional blank lines, and blank lines before a list, heading, rule, code fence or another quote, parse as before. The saved and sent Markdown does not change.ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.tsx: when an unfocused editor mounts with a draft, it scrolls its own box so the caret is visible, without focusing and without scrolling the timeline or page. This happens on the next animation frame, because the editor's DOM is redrawn later in the same commit and the redraw drops a scroll offset set earlier.Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#31837

| Row | Before | After |

| Main thread, 32-line draft, reload unfocused (1440 and 390, dark) | top shown, END hidden | END visible (scrollTop 521) |
| Main thread, quote + draft, thread A → B → A twice (1440, dark) | extra empty paragraph | none; drafts stay separate |
Empty composer reload (390, dark); > q\n\n\nComment and > q\n\n- item | — | pixel-identical to before |
| Plain-text mode, reload (1440, dark) | — | Markdown stays literal; END visible |
Pasted > quoted\n\nComment to it, > a\n> b\nComment, > q\nComment, reload (1440, dark) | extra empty paragraph | none |
Other visible differences in the zero-threshold diffs: anti-aliasing on the send button in several pairs, fractional text positions from the shorter document, and a 5px text shift in the plain-text pair. All of them are inside the composer. Capture images are not attached to this PR.
Not checked: desktop (Electron) and Windows. They use the same editor, but I did not run them. Also not captured in the app: the Cite comment flow, Settings typography previews, literal pending answers, and paste into lists, quotes or code. The parser's unit tests cover their round-trips. A single empty line that the user deliberately leaves between a quote and a comment now parses as adjacent. It already produced the same Markdown as the adjacent form, so the sent text does not change.

The composer now skips a quote-separator paragraph when rebuilding a document. When an unfocused editor applies its initial selection, it reveals the caret within the editor’s scroll area.
Changes: Composer draft restoration

|---|---|
Quote separator parsing apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.ts, apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.test.ts | The parser skips an empty paragraph between an open quote and following prose. A regression test checks that serializing and rebuilding a quote followed by a comment preserves the document JSON. |
Initial caret visibility apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.input.browser.test.tsx | When the editor is unfocused, the initial selection schedules a caret reveal on the next animation frame. The reveal adjusts the editor’s own scroll position when needed. A browser test checks visibility for a long draft without focusing the editor. |

| Out of Scope Changes check | Passed | The whole-PR summary identifies changes to quote parsing, caret visibility, and their tests. These changes address the tab-switch remount problem in [#31837]. It reports no unrelated changes. |
Explanation
The description includes the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It gives reproduction steps, implementation details, test results, visual verification, and untested areas. The Scope and approval section links issue #31837 but does not include an explicit maintainer approval comment or explain why the fix qualifies for an exemption.
Explanation
[#31837] The parser absorbs the single separator between a quote and following prose during draft restoration. The editor reveals the caret in its own scroll box without taking focus. The reported round-trip and browser tests cover both behaviors on remount.
