Summary

On iPhone, tapping the search X closed the field but left the query filtering Threads and Settings (especially on iOS 27, where X only blurs). Closing search now clears it; keyboard Search still keeps the filter while the keyboard is dismissed.

Test plan

  • On iPhone: search Threads, tap X → full list returns and reopen is empty
  • Same for Settings
  • Keyboard Search still keeps the filter with the keyboard dismissed
  • Duo search still behaves as before

Walkthrough

AppBar and workspace search now distinguish blur after pressing Search from blur that cancels search. WorkspaceToolbar also changes when it restores native search. Tests cover both workspace blur outcomes.

Changes: Mobile search blur handling

Layer / File(s)Summary
Workspace blur decision
apps/mobile/src/features/layout/workspace/workspace-tabs-state.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/layout/workspace/workspace-tabs-state.test.ts
workspaceSearchBlurAction returns expand when the query should be retained and cancel otherwise. Reducer tests cover both outcomes.
AppBar blur and cancel behavior
apps/mobile/src/components/ui/AppBar.tsx
AppBar retains the query after a Search-button press. Otherwise, eligible search blur clears the query and closes search. Cancel uses the clear-and-close handler.
iOS toolbar integration and restoration
apps/mobile/src/features/layout/workspace/WorkspaceToolbar.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/layout/workspace/WorkspaceToolbar.test.tsx, apps/mobile/vite.config.ts
WorkspaceToolbar applies the blur decision and marks Search-button blurs for retention. Native search restoration runs through a scheduled effect based on focus and workspace state. Tests cover blur outcomes, and the test file is added to the React test list.

Merge Risk: External image Low · up to 77a62

A later close could retain a search filter if a Search press fails to produce a blur. That sequence is unconfirmed, so the remaining merge risk is bounded.

Explanation

The description explains the problem and intended behavior, but it omits the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. Its test plan is unchecked and gives no observed results.

Resolution

Use the required section headings. Explain the problem and fix under Problem and Change. Under Scope and approval, link the triaged issue or maintainer approval, or explain why this focused fix qualifies without prior approval. Under Verification, report the checks performed and their results, state what remains unchecked, and add the required UI screenshots or recording if applicable. If an agent was used, include its model and harness.

Note

Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria

Takeover fixup:

  • Merged current main (no rebase). It merged cleanly.
  • main (#33599) added useWorkspacePaneState to WorkspaceToolbar, so the new WorkspaceToolbar.test.tsx mock now provides it. Without that, both new toolbar tests failed after the merge.
  • vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests, and react compiler.

No review bot raised a code finding. The CodeRabbit description warning is about the PR body, not the code.

CodeRabbit's unverified note about retainQueryOnBlur staying set if blur() never fires is not a real case: onSearchButtonPress only fires from the keyboard while the field is focused, so the following blur always clears the flag.

External image Unverified finding Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Reset the retain flag if the native blur never fires.

onSearchButtonPress sets retainQueryOnBlur.current = true and then calls blur(). handleSearchBlur is the only place that clears the flag. If blur() produces no onBlur event, the flag stays set. The next unrelated blur, such as the X on iOS 27, then keeps the query instead of clearing it.

Set the flag only when the field is focused. Alternatively, clear it on onFocus.

Closing. Accounts that are not vouched can have 3 open PRs. This account opened over 130 PRs in 12 days, and most are large features with no maintainer approval. That volume costs more review time than it gives back, so we are closing all of them. See open PR limit and prior approval.
