A sent citation chip never shows the comment you wrote on it

[Ashkaan]

Cite assistant text, add a comment, send — and the comment is the one thing you can no longer read. The chip's label is comment || quote cut to 64 characters and then truncated into a 16em box, and clicking it navigates to the assistant passage, which for a commented chip is the text I am not looking for. My own words survive only in the comment= parameter of the t3-citation:// href, so reading them back means copying the message and URL-decoding it.

The composer already has the answer: ComposerCitationNode gives each chip a pencil that opens an anchored bubble with the full comment. The transcript renders a bare <AssistantCitationChip citation={citation} /> with no commentEditor, so that bubble is unreachable once the message is sent.

Proposal: clicking a chip in a sent message opens the same bubble, read-only — full quote and comment, with View source as an action inside it rather than the chip's only behavior. Web and desktop, no wire change; the data is already in the href.

#9146 shipped the flow with navigation as the click behavior. #6965 asked for the comment to stay "visibly anchored to its selected passage" — that half did not ship.

This shipped in #15703: clicking a quote chip in a sent message now opens a popover with the full quote, your comment, and a Go to source button. Closing as resolved, thanks for the detailed write-up!
