GUI chat visual optimization (rant 2026-08-13T21:28:49, Plan A approved by host).

5 items:

  1. Alignment: .msg.user auto-margin overrode align-self:flex-end (flex container auto margins win) → user bubbles were centered instead of right-aligned. Fix: margin-left:auto; margin-right:0 (specificity 0,2,0).
  2. Scroll truncation: .session-view { scroll-behavior: smooth } made JS scrollTop = scrollHeight animate too; rapid consecutive tool rows outran the animation → newest content hidden. Fix: removed smooth (JS jumps are instant; manual scrolling unaffected).
  3. Tool timing: elapsed was only in row.title (hover). Fix: .tool-time span (· 3.2s) after the label on success only.
  4. Compact rows: .session-view gap 24px→12px, .tool-row padding 4px→2px + font 13px→12px, spinner 14px→12px.
  5. Consecutive-tool grouping (Plan A): handleToolStart checks last container child — a done .tool-row → creates .tool-group absorbing it + new row; an existing group → appends; text/user-message/no-node → standalone row (strict consecutive semantics). Bar shows ⌄ N 个工具执行 · Ts (zh) / {count} tool calls · {time} (en) when ≥2 rows all done + collapsed; click toggles + marks user-expanded (never auto-collapses again); a running row keeps the group expanded; text interleaving keeps rows independent. Tool-row class structure unchanged → existing tests unaffected.

New standalone test file test/tool-group.test.js (+2 tests: merge+summary+collapse+user-expanded, text-interleave-no-merge). GUI tests 239→241 (Agent.md synced).

Verified: pytest 801/801, GUI 241/241, node --check, import + CLI OK.

✅ LGTM — cycle (1/3)

Full review of the visual-optimization PR (rant 2026-08-13T21:28:49, Plan A):

  • Alignment: .msg.user gains margin-left:auto; margin-right:0 — correct fix (flex auto-margin wins over align-self; specificity 0,2,0 over 0,1,0).
  • Scroll: removed scroll-behavior: smooth from .session-view — JS scrollTop=scrollHeight now instant; user manual scroll unaffected.
  • Timing: .tool-time span (· 3.2s) after label on success only, row.dataset.elapsed feeds group sum.
  • Compact: gap 24→12px, row padding 4→2px, font 13→12px, spinner 14→12px/2→1.5px.
  • Grouping (Plan A): handleToolStart last-child logic — done .tool-row → new .tool-group absorbs it + new row; existing group → append; text/node → standalone. Bar ⌄ N 个工具执行 · Ts when ≥2 all-done + collapsed; click toggles + user-expanded (no auto-recollapse); running row keeps expanded; strict consecutive semantics. Tool-row class structure unchanged.
  • New standalone test/tool-group.test.js (+2: merge+summary+collapse+user-expanded / text-interleave-no-merge) — avoids touching renderer.smoke.test.js (parallel cycle in-flight). GUI 239→241 + Agent.md synced.

Verified: pytest 801/801, GUI 241/241, node --check, import + CLI OK, CI test + test-windows PASS.

❌ Needs fix: 7 orphaned i18n keys + 12 unused CSS classes (unrelated rant/projects restyle not wired up)

The core chat visual-optimization work is solid (verified):

  • chat.js consecutive-tool grouping: last-child detection (completed .tool-row → wrap into .tool-group; existing .tool-group → append + auto-expand; text interleave → independent row), updateToolGroup summary/collapse logic, tool-time span on success + row.dataset.elapsed. Logic sound, both states covered by tool-group.test.js (2 tests pass locally in isolation; CI test + test-windows PASS; local full-suite failures are env artifacts — live daemon port file, same as always).
  • layout.css scroll-behavior removal is a real fix (smooth scroll breaks JS scrollTop=scrollHeight under rapid tool-row appends); user-msg margin fix (auto margin beats align-self in the 760px-centering flex) is correct cascade reasoning; Agent.md 239→241 (+2 tool-group) math checks out.

BUT this PR also carries an unrelated rant/projects panel restyle that is NOT wired to anything (dead code, same class of issue as the #755 orphaned-i18n-keys cleanup):

  1. Orphaned i18n keys — 0 references outside i18n.js (verified via full-tree grep incl. index.html data-i18n, all JS, tests):

    • rants.title, rants.colTime, rants.colProject, rants.colStatus, rants.colProgress, rants.colContent, projects.title
  2. Unused CSS classes — 0 markup/JS references (verified):

    • .workspace-view-title, .rant-head, .rant-row, .rant-col-time/project/status/progress/content, .rant-progress, .rant-md, .task-badge.badge-muted, .task-badge.badge-warn

The existing rant panel (dialogs.js renderRantList) still renders with .task-row/.task-name/.task-hint and never touches these new keys/classes.

Fix options:
a) Remove the 7 i18n keys + 12 CSS classes from this PR (keep the chat optimization), or
b) If the column layout is intended, wire it into renderRantList (replace task-row markup with rant-head/rant-row/rant-col-* and use the new keys) — but that belongs in the rant-panel PR, not this chat-visual PR.

Also note: test file comment says the split was deliberate (avoid polluting with the parallel rant-panel work) — these stray additions look like accidental inclusion from that effort.

✅ LGTM — cycle (2/3)

Fresh re-verification this cycle (head d613dad unchanged since 1/3):

  • Branch diff vs master = exactly 6 files (Agent.md, components.css, layout.css, chat.js, i18n.js, tool-group.test.js), +480/-10 — no stray files.
  • Full GUI suite on this head: 241/241 pass (incl. 2 new tool-group tests).
  • CI: test + test-windows both PASS (run 31706192686).
  • mergeStateStatus CLEAN.

Still sound: alignment margin fix (0,2,0 specificity), smooth-scroll removal, .tool-time timing span, compact row metrics, Plan-A grouping (last-child absorb, ⌄ N 个工具执行 · Ts bar, user-expanded persistence, running-row keeps expanded, text-interleave stays independent).

⚠️ Correction (gate status): the ✅ 2/3 at 13:49:40Z does NOT resolve the ❌ posted at 13:47:56Z — it reviewed the SAME head d613dad (verified unchanged) and re-checked file-count/tests/CI only; the dead code is still present.

Re-verified on head d613dad this cycle (full-tree grep, not from memory):

  • 7 orphaned i18n keys with 0 references outside i18n.js: rants.title, rants.colTime, rants.colProject, rants.colStatus, rants.colProgress, rants.colContent, projects.title
  • 12 unused CSS classes with 0 markup/JS references: .workspace-view-title, .rant-head, .rant-row, .rant-col-time/project/status/progress/content, .rant-progress, .rant-md, .task-badge.badge-muted, .task-badge.badge-warn

The existing rant panel (dialogs.js renderRantList) renders with .task-row/.task-name/.task-hint and never references these. Merge gate: an ❌ between approvals means this PR must not be merged on the current head — the ❌ at 13:47:56Z stands. Author fix needed (option a: remove the 7 keys + 12 classes; option b: wire the column layout into renderRantList).

…PR (fix #771 review)

Remove 7 orphaned i18n keys (projects.title, rants.title, rants.col*) and
12 unused CSS classes (.workspace-view-title, .rant-*, .task-badge.badge-*)
accidentally included from the parallel rant/projects panel restyle. These
belong to the separate rant-panel PR; keep only the chat visual opt
(alignment/scroll/timing/compact/grouping). No test count change.

Fixed per the ❌ review (d84de1e): removed the 7 orphaned i18n keys (projects.title, rants.title, rants.col*) and 12 unused CSS classes (.workspace-view-title, .rant-, .task-badge.badge-) accidentally carried over from the parallel rant/projects panel restyle — that dead scaffolding belongs to the separate rant-panel PR. Branch now contains only the chat visual optimization (alignment/scroll/timing/compact/consecutive-tool grouping + tool-group.test.js). Local GUI suite 241/241 green; CI re-running on new head.

✅ LGTM — cycle (1/3, post-fix)

Fix verified on head d84de1e (commit: strip orphaned rant-panel i18n keys + CSS):

  • 7 orphaned i18n keys (rants.title/colTime/colProject/colStatus/colProgress/colContent + projects.title): 0 remaining in i18n.js and 0 references anywhere (full-tree grep) — fully removed.
  • 12 unused CSS classes (.workspace-view-title/.rant-head/.rant-row/.rant-col-*/.rant-progress/.rant-md/.badge-muted/.badge-warn): 0 remaining in components.css and 0 references anywhere — fully removed.
  • Fix diff = pure deletion (components.css −85, i18n.js −14, no additions) — exactly the dead code, nothing else touched.
  • Core chat work intact: diff vs master still exactly the 6 intended files (+381/−10 overall); Agent.md 241 count consistent; tool-group tests present.
  • CI run 31707919569 test + test-windows PASS. mergeable CLEAN.

This resolves the ❌ (13:47:56Z) — post-fix approval chain restarts here (prior ✅s were on the pre-fix head). Approving.

#771 review class) (#776)

The #755 orphan-key cleanup and the #771 review ❌ (7 orphaned i18n keys + 12
unused CSS) exposed a missing guard: dictionary keys defined but never
referenced accumulate silently. New i18n.test.js guard scans index.html
data-i18n* attrs + all renderer JS t-call sites (incl. ternary forms
_t(cond ? "A" : "B"), template globs tool.${base}.doing, and registry
property values hint: "cmd.x.hint") and asserts BOTH directions:
  A) every dict key is referenced somewhere (orphan detection)
  B) every referenced key exists in the dict (typo detection — silent
     fallback otherwise)
Removes 12 dead keys found by the guard on master (zh+en = 24 lines):
result.title, settings.groupTasks, settings.githubTokenEmpty, tasks.title,
tasks.desc, panel.openFailed, panel.copied, app.helpNoSessions,
app.historyLoading, app.globalAll, app.noTasks, sidebar.noOpenSessions.
GUI 242→243 (i18n 15→16), Agent.md synced.
