Replacement Design Doctor reasoning-effort A/B clone for #2.

Variant: xhigh.

This branch adds a no-op commit on top of the original PR head so the file contents are equivalent while GitHub checks stay isolated to this test PR.

Replaces contaminated setup PR: #22.

brendan-kellam and others added 15 commits April 28, 2026 10:32
Adds a `commit` pathType to the browse routes
(`/browse/<repo>@<branch>/-/commit/<sha>[/<file>]`) that renders a
placeholder CommitDiffPanel. Refactors browse path helpers into a
discriminated `BrowseProps` union so commitSha is required only for
pathType: 'commit'.

Wires up @codemirror/merge (via react-codemirror-merge) inside
CommitDiffPanel with a static before/after demo. Adds a CodeDiff
component that owns its language extension + view ref so each pane
can reconfigure its language compartment independently.

Also gates the react-grab dev scripts behind DEBUG_ENABLE_REACT_GRAP
so they don't load on every dev page render.

Replace the CodeMirror MergeView-based commit diff rendering with a DOM
based split-view that renders directly from git's hunks, inspired by
Chrome DevTools' DiffView. Per-file editor instances and the matching
getFileSource fetches are gone — a 50-file commit drops from ~100
network requests to 0, and per-row render cost from a full editor mount
to a synchronous Lezer highlight + grid emit.

- New `LightweightDiffViewer` builds a single 2-column subgrid with
  hunk headers spanning both sides; each cell uses `subgrid` so line
  numbers, markers, and content align across all rows.
- Pure helpers split out: `hunkParser` (body string → DiffLine[]),
  `splitPairing` (DiffLine[] → SplitRow[]).
- `presentableDiff` from @codemirror/merge supplies character-level
  intra-line diff highlighting on paired modifications.
- Lezer highlight code lifted from `lightweightCodeHighlighter` into
  `lib/codeHighlight` so both files share the helper.
- Drop `react-codemirror-merge` and `commitDiffEditor`. Long lines wrap
  via `whitespace-pre-wrap break-words` + `minmax(0, 1fr)` on the grid.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- File path header now sticks to the top of the scroll viewport while
  scrolling through that file's diff, using the negative-yOffset trick
  to compensate for the virtualizer's translateY positioning. Same
  pattern as searchResultsPanel/fileMatchContainer.
- Lightweight diff viewer's grid uses `minmax(<min>, max-content)` for
  line-number and marker columns so they don't collapse to zero width
  when one side of the diff is entirely blank (fully-added or
  fully-deleted files), keeping the right pane aligned across files.
- Drop the column gap between left and right panes and instead draw a
  `border-r` separator on the left cells for a cleaner divider.
- Hunk header gets an optional className so the first hunk renders with
  just `border-b` (the file header above already provides the top
  border), while subsequent hunks render with `border-y` between them.
- Drop the per-row footer padding in the virtualizer; rows now sit
  flush against each other.

- New `DiffStat` component renders GitHub-style additions/deletions
  counts with a 5-square indicator scaled log-ish to total change size.
  Added on the right of each file row header and on the right of the
  "N files changed" subheader for the commit total. Hidden when there
  are no line-level changes (pure renames).
- Each file row gets a `CopyIconButton` next to the path (copies
  newPath, falling back to oldPath) and a `CommitActionLink` that
  opens the file at the commit. Deleted files link to the old path
  at the parent commit so the user lands on the file's last existing
  state rather than a 404.
- `repoName`, `commitSha`, and `parentSha` are plumbed from the panel
  through `FileDiffList` to `FileDiffRow` to support the new link.
- `computeChangeCounts` is memoized per file in the row.

…nchoring

History panel rows in both the bottom panel and the commits page are now
clickable — they navigate to the matching commit diff via router.push,
with closest('button, a') short-circuit so inner action buttons keep
their own behavior. Bottom-panel history rows also highlight via
bg-accent when their commit is the one currently being viewed.

Commit diff header now uses AuthorsAvatarGroup + getCommitAuthors +
formatAuthorsText, matching latestCommitInfo and historyRow — co-authors
parsed from the commit body show up correctly.

When the URL trailing path matches one of the commit's files, that file
is moved to the top of the FileDiffList rather than scrolled to. Avoids
estimateSize-based scroll inaccuracy and works regardless of which side
of a rename the URL points to.

Lightweight diff viewer short-circuits with "Diff too large to display"
for files containing lines over 1000 chars, matching the cutoff in
lightweightCodeHighlighter.

PathHeader's breadcrumb measurement reserved 175px for "copy button and
padding"; the actual reservation needed is ~40px. Reduced so breadcrumbs
no longer collapse prematurely on wide layouts.

- Lift `truncateSha` (was a private helper in getDiffToolComponent) to
  `lib/utils` so PathHeader can reuse it. The branch/ref display now
  renders a 40-char SHA as `abc1234`, preserving any `^` / `~N` suffix.
- Hide the `·` separator and the path's CopyIconButton when there's no
  path (repo root). Previously a dangling `·` and copy button rendered
  with nothing between them.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a `path` query/tool parameter to restrict diff output to changes
touching a single file via git's `-- <pathspec>` separator. Refactors
the route handler to use the shared `getDiffRequestSchema`.

Fixes SOU-1154 (sourcebot-dev#1154)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Move single-file commit diffs from `/-/commit/<sha>/<path>` to
  `/-/blob/<path>?ref=<sha>&diff=true`, keeping the user's browsing
  revision in the URL. `/-/commit/<sha>` still renders the full
  multi-file diff.
- New `FocusedCommitDiffPanel` with status row (file status badge +
  authors + relative commit date + "View full commit" + DiffStat +
  exit-X) and path-filtered `getDiff` so only the single file's diff
  is fetched.
- New preview banner in `CodePreviewPanel` when `?ref=` is set, with a
  close button that strips the param.
- Make `PathHeader`'s revision clickable, linking to that ref's full
  commit view.
- New `HoverPrefetchLink` defers Next.js prefetching until hover; used
  in history rows to avoid firing many prefetches on render.
- Hide the bottom panel on `/-/commit/` views.
- Extract `getFileStatus` / `StatusBadge` to a shared `fileStatus.tsx`.
- Workaround Radix Tooltip + RSC re-render bug (drop `asChild` from
  `<TooltipTrigger>`, add `key={commitSha}`) so X / Browse-files
  buttons survive client navigation between commits.

Browse files button is doubled up inside the commit view

On the full commit page, the Browse files control is wrapped in an extra interactive layer instead of being a single clean button, which can make its hover, focus, and tooltip behavior feel off and adds a redundant tab stop. It should behave as one tidy button like the other actions in this area.

**Browse files button is doubled up inside the commit view**
On the full commit page, the Browse files control is wrapped in an extra interactive layer instead of being a single clean button, which can make its hover, focus, and tooltip behavior feel off and adds a redundant tab stop. It should behave as one tidy button like the other actions in this area.

Issue:
`<TooltipTrigger>` (no asChild) wraps `<Button asChild variant="outline" size="sm">` whose child is a `<Link>`. Because TooltipTrigger is the bare Radix Trigger, it renders its own native <button> around the Button-as-anchor, producing nested interactive elements (<button><a/></button>), a duplicated focus target, and tooltip/aria wiring attached to the wrapper instead of the real control.

Suggested fix:
Add `asChild` to the `<TooltipTrigger>` at fullCommitDiffPanel.tsx:79 so it merges onto the `<Button asChild>`/`<Link>`, matching commitParts.tsx CommitActionLink.

How can I resolve this? Keep the fix scoped to the PR-touched UI and preserve existing design-system patterns.

Exit control on the file diff is wrapped in an extra layer

In the focused file-diff view, the control to leave the diff is wrapped in a redundant interactive layer rather than being a single clean icon button, which can make its hover and focus states feel inconsistent and adds a duplicate tab stop. It should match the tidy icon buttons used elsewhere in this area.

The bare trigger renders an extra native <button> around the Button-as-anchor (<button><a/></button>), duplicating the interactive element and misattaching tooltip/aria to the wrapper.

Suggested fix:
Add `asChild` to the `<TooltipTrigger>` at focusedCommitDiffPanel.tsx:156 so it merges onto the ghost icon `<Button asChild>`/`<Link>`.

Parent-commit links look different from other commit links

The links to parent commits are styled differently from the other commit references shown in the same view, so commit links don't read as one consistent, recognizable affordance. Aligning them would make it clearer at a glance which pieces of text navigate to another commit.

Issue:
commitHashLine.tsx line 42 styles parent-commit links `className="underline hover:text-foreground"` (always underlined muted text that shifts to foreground on hover), with no use of the --link token.

Suggested fix:
Align the parent-commit links in commitHashLine.tsx:42 to the established commit-reference link treatment (`text-link hover:underline`), or match the muted underline-on-hover pattern used by historyRow SHA links if a muted look is intended.

Commit diff action buttons render as doubled controls

On the commit diff and file-preview views, the buttons that browse files or close the diff are each wrapped in an extra, invisible control, so keyboard users hit an empty stop before the real button and the hover hint can feel slightly off. These should behave as a single, clean control.

Issue:
Each tooltip is written as `<TooltipTrigger>` (no asChild) containing `<Button asChild variant=... ><Link/></Button>`. Since `TooltipTrigger = TooltipPrimitive.Trigger` renders its own <button> when asChild is absent, the rendered DOM is `<button><a>...</a></button>` — a button wrapping an anchor, which is invalid nested interactive markup, adds an extra focus/tab stop, and binds the tooltip trigger to a different element than the visible button.

Suggested fix:
Add `asChild` to each of the three TooltipTrigger usages (fullCommitDiffPanel.tsx:79, focusedCommitDiffPanel.tsx:156, codePreviewPanel.tsx:105) so the Button is the trigger, eliminating the wrapping <button>.

File-change labels don't match the app's status badge style

The added/modified/deleted/renamed markers on each file in the commit diff are built as one-off chips rather than the app's standard status badge treatment, so they read as slightly inconsistent with status indicators elsewhere in the product. Aligning them makes file changes feel part of the same visual language.

Aligning them makes file changes feel part of the same visual language.

Issue:
StatusBadge renders a raw `<span>` with `inline-flex items-center justify-center w-5 h-5 rounded text-xs font-mono font-bold` plus a bespoke STATUS_BADGE_COLORS map (bg-green-500/20 text-green-700 dark:text-green-400, bg-yellow-500/20..., bg-red-500/20..., bg-blue-500/20...).

Suggested fix:
Render StatusBadge via `<Badge className={statusBadgeVariants({ status })}>` (define a small cva mapping added/modified/deleted/renamed to color classes), keeping the compact single-letter sizing through className overrides.

Commit rows give no cue when focused by keyboard

Commit rows in the history list are now clickable and keyboard-reachable, but they only react to mouse hover, so tabbing through the list shows no visible indication of which commit is focused. A clear focus cue makes keyboard navigation easy to follow.

Commit rows in the history list are now clickable and keyboard-reachable, but they only react to mouse hover, so tabbing through the list shows no visible indication of which commit is focused. A clear focus cue makes keyboard navigation easy to follow.

Issue:
The row gains `role="link" tabIndex={0}` with onClick/onKeyDown(Enter) and `className="... cursor-pointer hover:bg-muted"`, but defines no focus-visible treatment, so a keyboard-focused row looks identical to an unfocused one.

Suggested fix:
Add a focus-visible treatment to the row (e.g. focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring focus-visible:ring-offset-2, or focus-visible:bg-accent to mirror the selected surface) so keyboard focus is visible.
