Problem

Hovering the timeline minimap felt jumpy in three ways:

  • The preview box caught the mouse, so the strip stopped tracking while the pointer was over it. Moving off the box made the highlighted message and the box jump to wherever the pointer really was.
  • The box was top-aligned for the first message, bottom-aligned for the last, and centered for the rest. The centered box for the second message already reaches past the first tick, so stepping onto an end tick shifted the box up or down on every thread. On short threads it flipped sides completely.
  • The hover area ended exactly at the first and last ticks, and the invisible prev/next chevrons sat 2px past it. Approaching an end tick from outside landed on a chevron and its tooltip, so you had to overshoot into the strip and come back.

Change

All in TimelineMinimap.tsx, plus removing a helper that is no longer used from MessagesTimeline.logic.ts.

  • The preview ignores the mouse (pointer-events-none). The hover area no longer widens to 22rem while a preview is open; it stays the strip's own width, so the preview hides when you leave the strip. Text inside the preview is no longer selectable. Clicking still jumps to the message.
  • The box is always centered on its tick. The rail is capped at 100vh - 18rem, so a centered box always fits.
  • The hover area extends half a tick gap (4px) past each end through a ::before on the rail button, so the end ticks get a full-size target. The chevrons move out to match (2px to 6px).

Scope and approval

Small, focused fix for hover behavior in one component, with no linked issue.

The first bullet makes the same change as #23462 (the fix for #16447): a display-only preview and a hit area that stays on the strip. I aligned this PR with it so the two don't disagree. Whichever lands second only needs a trivial rebase, or #23462 can merge first and I'll drop that part here.

Verification

  • vp run check:changed passes on the rebased branch: format, lint, knip, typecheck, the tests beside the change, and the React compiler check.
  • Not yet checked by hand in a running client, and there are no before/after captures yet.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at d161887

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The minimap preview becomes pointer-transparent and consistently centered, with small adjustments to rail hit areas and navigation spacing. The change is confined to chat navigation UI and introduces no material operational or data risk.

Walkthrough

The timeline minimap now uses its calculated collapsed hit-strip width. Its preview no longer intercepts pointer events, and the button handles clicks from the preview area. The button hit area and navigation spacing also changed.

Changes: Timeline minimap

Layer / File(s)Summary
Hit-strip width calculation
apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/TimelineMinimap.tsx		The expanded hit-strip width constant and interactive-width resolver were removed. The minimap now uses the calculated collapsed hit-strip width directly.
Preview and navigation interactions
apps/web/src/components/chat/TimelineMinimap.tsx		The preview-target event filter and edge-dependent tooltip translation were removed. The button handles preview-area clicks and always prevents the default action on mouse down. The preview ignores pointer events, the button hit area extends vertically, and the navigation buttons are positioned farther from the strip.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

  • pingdotgg/t3code#16447: The changes remove preview pointer capture, which is the same hit-area behavior described in the issue. The changes do not establish that the issue is fully resolved.

Clicking the preview does not reliably jump to its message, and the first preview may be clipped with a terminal open. Both issues have workarounds.

Explanation

The title names the main change: the timeline minimap preview no longer intercepts hover and no longer jumps around. The raw summary confirms the preview overlay became display-only, the tooltip edge-dependent translation was removed, and the box is now centered. The title uses the conventional commit form and is concise, so it matches the changeset.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections (Problem, Change, Scope and approval, Verification) and gives a clear account of the hover issues and the fix. It also cites a related PR (#23462) and reports a passing check run. The Scope section explains why no issue is linked. Gaps: the Verification section admits the change was not checked by hand in a running client and has no before/after screenshots, but the template requires clear before/after screenshots for UI changes. The Problem section lists reproduction context only loosely, and the title is not stated as a conventional commit in the description, though the PR objectives give a title that matches the convention.

Resolution

Add before/after screenshots (or a short recording, since the change concerns hover timing and interaction) of the minimap preview, uploaded to GitHub and embedded or linked in the Verification section. Complete the manual check in a running client and report the observed results for the hover, centering, and end-tick behavior. Confirm the PR title follows the conventional commit format. Keep the Scope section's approval reasoning, and make clear whether the dependency on #23462 needs a maintainer decision.

Preserve the promised preview click action.

The preview has pointer-events-none, and most of its width lies outside the strip button. When a user moves from the strip onto that area, onMouseLeave clears activeIndex and removes the preview. A click cannot reach onSelect. Provide a click path that preserves the intended hover behavior, or clarify that only the strip is clickable. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
