fix(web): restore diff scroll position when switching threads - #11631
Switching threads remounts the diff reader and loses its position. Keep a session-only position for each environment, thread and review scope, including the chosen branch base.
The reader saves a logical file/line anchor and viewport offset so wrapped, virtualized rows can settle without moving the reader to a different line. Lazy diffs reload the previously visible file set before restoring. Fresh timeline file reveals take priority, including repeated requests for the same file; collapse-all resets to the top. Missing reveal paths are treated as handled after loading finishes. A stale line anchor falls back to the file header.
Rebuilt from @Gigioxx's original #11631, preserving the contributor commits and merging main. The original module maps and pixel-only restoration were replaced to handle current panel callers, lazy files and wrapped rows.
Verification
PR tests: 0 → 1, in the existing diffRendering.test.ts. It exercises Pierre's real virtual diff geometry across changed row heights. 47 focused tests passed; web typecheck, scoped lint and formatting passed.
Linux headless client: Changes A → B → A returns to line 181 at 3600px; main returns to line 1 at 0. Both captures use the same 600-line diff, 1280×800 viewport, layout, wrap setting and temporary proof fonts (the browser had no usable system fonts).
A 21-file lazy fixture restored a sparse file outside the initial four: file-19.ts stayed at line 21 and the same viewport offset across repeated returns despite changed estimated pixel heights.
Turn scope restores its saved position when reselected after returning. Existing navigation deliberately selects Changes on thread entry. Fresh and repeated same-file reveals were driven through the same store action used by the timeline; collapse/expand-all returned to the top.
Shrinking an added file from 800 to 20 lines while on thread B invalidated A’s saved line 201. The reader recovered to a clamped file-header target, saved a new valid anchor and restored it on the next return.
Known limit: a viewport inside the final wrapped line can use a pixel fallback and shift by that line’s measured height change.
Web verified locally. Desktop shares this panel but Electron, macOS, Windows/WSL, remote/relay/tunnel connections, iOS and Android were not run. Mobile does not use this component.
Four independent review rounds with Claude Opus and Codex Sol. Findings about sparse lazy files, user scroll/collapse priority, missing reveal paths and deleted line anchors were fixed; the final round found no blockers. Build, lint and test jobs passed on the published head. Macroscope correctness now passes; its approvability check remains neutral and requests human approval because the restoration logic spans virtualized rendering and lazy loading. That approval remains outstanding. The web suite passed after one rerun of an unrelated keyboard-focus test (the failing test does not mount DiffPanel). Two new bot findings were checked against compiler output, live proof and production callers, then answered as false positives; see the review threads.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change restores diff scroll positions when switching threads using session-only anchors. It also adds a lint suppression for the restoration effect, which requires human review under the repository’s approval requirements.

Walkthrough
The diff view saves logical scroll anchors and loaded file paths by review scope. It restores positions after remounts and lazy file loading. User interaction, file reveals, and fold-all actions can stop or discard restoration.
Changes: Diff scroll restoration
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Scroll anchor capture and resolution apps/web/src/lib/diffRendering.ts, apps/web/src/lib/diffRendering.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/diffs/StyledDiffCodeView.tsx, apps/web/src/diffPanelStore.ts
Diff rendering captures visible line or item anchors and resolves them against rendered or unrendered diffs. Tests cover anchor resolution across remounts. The styled viewer and anchor helpers use the shared header-height constant. The store defines session-only scroll-position and handled-reveal maps.
The hook saves anchors and loaded file paths by scope. It requests previously loaded files, waits for pending patches and anchor availability, and stops or discards restoration when requested.
Panel and viewer integration apps/web/src/components/DiffPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/diffs/AnnotatableCodeView.tsx, apps/web/src/components/DiffPanel.browser.test.tsx
DiffPanel connects viewer scroll events to restoration, flushes after rendering, and stops restoration on user interaction. Reveals and fold-all actions discard saved positions. Reveal deduplication uses shared session state, and AnnotatableCodeView forwards the optional scroll callback.

The changes satisfy #11571. useDiffScrollRestore stores a logical diff anchor and loaded file paths in session-only state. DiffPanel restores state per thread and review scope, reloads required lazy files, and reconnects the viewer after remounts.

Which supplied image or recording shows the unfixed thread-switch roundtrip returning to offset zero? I could identify the restored positions in this PR's recording, while the baseline evidence linked through #8759 and #8826 shows switching right-panel tabs within one thread. Please identify the matching before evidence or add a before/after comparison of this thread-switch case so verification covers the behavior being changed.
Taking over this one for batch worktree-git-03. I’ll preserve the original branch, resolve the main conflicts, and verify per-thread scroll restoration plus fresh file reveals before publishing the update.
…d-switch
Main replaced the diff reveal effect with createCodeViewFileReveal and moved
folds into a session store, so the scroll restore is rebuilt on that shape:
useDiffScrollRestore keeps the logical line anchors, re-requests loaded lazy
files, and yields to reveals and reader input.

selectTurn restarts revealRequestId at 1 after a non-turn selection, so the
session map of handled reveals skipped the second click. Key it by thread and
clear it when the selection has no file, as main's per-mount marker did.

Wait for lazy requests to reach the query state before restoring.
When a saved file is still a placeholder and no current query is pending, successive onPostRender callbacks can bypass the wait before requestFile commits. The restore can then treat the saved line as stale and replace it with a visible anchor.
Wait until the requested paths reach the query state before using patchesPending to decide that loading has settled. Preserve the fallback for failed requests.

Loading a re-requested file below the viewport re-renders no visible row, so
neither the viewer ref nor onPostRender resumed restoration and the diff stayed
at the top. Retry when the requested patches settle.

[major] apps/web/src/components/diffs/useDiffScrollRestore.ts:124: Not fixed: restoration can consume the saved anchor before its lazy-file requests enter the pending state. attach queues requestFile updates, then the mount effect calls flush with the previous patchesPending=false. requestedFiles is already true, so this guard permits scrolling against a placeholder and clears restoring. Pierre rejects the line target; subsequent file completion cannot retry because restoring is false. Wait for the requested files' committed settlement before consuming the anchor.
Fails with: Web or desktop: review a long lazy diff in thread A at file 19, line 21; switch away, then return with the initial four patches settled but later saved patches uncached. Reproduced with React and the real Pierre viewer: flush attempted line 21 while file 19 still had zero hunks and was collapsed. After loading completed, scrollTop was 80248 while file 19 began at 304920. The control with patches already pending at mount restored successfully.
It stays open for a person to finish or close.
