Problem

Pasting text with Windows CRLF line endings into the chat composer hides blank lines, and the caret disappears when Up/Down moves it onto one. On main (dd148481), pasting x\r\n\r\ny in the web app gives the paragraphs ["x\r", "\r", "y"]: the blank line is a paragraph holding only \r, which renders 0 px tall, so the caret placed in it is invisible. The same happens when the paste is routed to a blurred composer, a lone-CR paste (x\r\ry) collapses into xy, and a CRLF paste inside a code fence stores raw \r. LF text works.

Change

The composer's custom handlePaste bypasses ProseMirror's clipboard text parser, which is what normally turns \r\n? into \n. A small readPastedPlainText helper now does that normalization, and the two places that read text/plain for the composer use it: the editor's paste handler (which also feeds the code-fence branch) and importPastedComposerText (used by the focused paste and the focus-redirect paste).

Scope and approval

Fixes #27080

Verification

• ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.input.browser.test.tsx: new cases paste x\r\n\r\ny and x\r\ry and expect the same three paragraphs and serialized value as x\n\ny. On main they fail with expected [ 'x\r', '\r', 'y' ] to deeply equal [ 'x', '', 'y' ] and expected [ 'x\r\ry' ] …; 16/16 pass with the fix.
• composerInlineTokenPaste.test.ts: importPastedComposerText returns LF line breaks for CRLF and CR input. It fails when the importer's normalization is reverted and passes with it.
• vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests and React compiler all pass.
• Real web app (dev server, fresh database, synthetic ClipboardEvent paste carrying the exact bytes): before the fix, the blank paragraph is 0 px tall and the caret moved onto it is invisible; after, it is 22.75 px tall and the caret shows, for a focused paste, a paste into a blurred composer, and a paste into a code fence.
• Not checked: the native Windows clipboard in the Electron app (the evidence uses synthetic paste events with the reporter's bytes; desktop wraps the same web composer). Mobile uses a separate native composer and is unchanged.

Evidence

Captured 3/3 required matrix rows, all six before/after recordings, and all four additional R1 viewport/theme still pairs. No required row remains unverified. These are the real integrated web app in separate detached checkouts, each started with T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0; no live userdata was read or copied and no provider turn was sent. Exact clipboard bytes are synthetic DataTransfer/ClipboardEvent inputs; focus and arrow navigation use native browser key actions.

Before: dd148481; after: 95133f7f. The supplied matrix references an older intermediate head; all evidence here uses the requested final head above.

Rendering environment for every capture: Linux x86_64, Chromium 156.0.0.0 through T3 Preview; no device emulation; DPR 2; zoom 1; font scaling 100%; root 16px, composer 14px Inter Variable/system sans. Default theme identifier system, with explicit dark/light color scheme as labelled. Height is 900 CSS px throughout; row labels give CSS width and theme. Scroll (0,0), sidebar and thread details closed, idle New thread, no overlays. Browser Date frozen at 2026-10-29T23:35:30.000Z on both sides; timers and native caret blink continue.

Preview caps screenshot width: a 1440×900 CSS viewport saves a complete 1280×800 PNG; 1280×900 saves 1280×900; 390×900 at DPR 2 saves 780×1800. Recordings retain 2560×1800 for 1280×900 CSS. These are full surfaces, not crops. Reduced-motion emulation is unavailable in this tool; default panel animation duration is zero and all stills are settled.

Before every accepted still, fonts were ready and there were no completed resource loads for 600ms (the app's persistent WebSocket remains open). Two captures with a 500ms wait between calls were pixel-identical for all 14 accepted stills. Native Left/Right reset the caret blink phase without changing its final position; no caret CSS or drawn caret was used. All originals, recordings via frame-review sheets, and every diff were opened and inspected. Raw repeated frames and review sheets are archived below.

Diff convention: Diff0 marks every RGB delta > 0, amplified to full magenta; DiffT marks max-channel delta > 16/255, also full magenta. Diffs compare the associated settled stills, not every video frame.

Focused rich composer: CRLF, then LF control, then standalone CR. Each reset uses Ctrl+A/Backspace. Paste exact x\r\n\r\ny, x\n\ny, or x\r\ry; from the end press Up, Up, Down, Down and hold on each middle-line stop for a native caret blink. Head renders all three encodings as three paragraphs; LF already works before the fix.

R3 — 1280×900 CSS, dark, web

Rich composer: type three backticks and Enter to create the real code fence, paste exact CRLF, then Up, Up, Down, Down with holds. Both stay one code block. Escaped code-block text is "x\r\n\r\ny" before and "x\n\ny" after; the manifest contains node/selection transcripts.

What else changed

• Intended: CRLF blank paragraphs gain 22.75 CSS px of height; the native middle-line caret becomes visible and navigable. Standalone CR now yields the same three-line result as LF. LF control already renders correctly on baseline.
• Consequent layout: composer top border/shadow and the x line move up by one line while y remains bottom-anchored. The empty-conversation message moves up by about half a line as its available region changes. This occurs in the requested wide/narrow and light/dark pairs.
• Tiny dev send-button artwork/shadow raster differences appear at zero threshold, outside the expected blank-line region, and mostly disappear at threshold 16 (three shadow-edge pixels remain in 390 light). The diff does not touch the send button; an independent rebuild of R1 at the head matched the delivered capture to 1 pixel at 1/255, so this is raster noise.
• R3's code-block shape remains visually similar; its 47 changed pixels in the settled pair are at the two caret locations. The escaped text transcript distinguishes raw CR retention from normalized LF.

Rebuild and scope

All mandatory rows verified. Native Electron clipboard delivery, physical clipboard services, native mobile, providers, and remote/tunnel transport were outside this matrix; none is claimed tested. Narrow capture is a resized web viewport, not device emulation. The optional Markdown-looking R3 append segment was not required or run.

Explanation

Issue [#27080] requires CRLF paste to preserve the empty paragraph and caret navigation, with LF-equivalent text behavior. readPastedPlainText converts CRLF and lone CR to LF. The editor paste handler uses it for normal and code-fence paste. importPastedComposerText uses it for focused and focus-redirect paste. Tests cover x\r\n\r\ny and x\r\ry as ["x", "", "y"] with serialized x\n\ny, plus CRLF and CR import normalization.

Evidence

Environment: real web app, Chromium/Linux, 1280×800, light theme, local connection, fresh synthetic replay data per commit.

Steps: clear and verify an empty composer before each sample. Paste exact LF, CRLF, and standalone-CR samples, both focused and after clicking the conversation background. Blurred pastes target document.body with the editor verified unfocused. Wait for focus, move to document end, and press Up, Up, Down, Down. Paste CRLF inside an empty code fence. The observation panel reads actual DOM text and selection without changing editor state.

Both complete runs of the unchanged final scenario exited 0: base fails, head passes. Base hides the CRLF blank line, leaves standalone CR in one paragraph, and retains raw CR inside the fence. Head displays the blank line for every format, navigates paragraphs 1,0,1,2, and stores fence text as x\n\ny.

Evidence

Evidence

Environment for every capture: real web dev app, Linux Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, separate fresh databases with identical synthetic threads and the Replay provider. Exact raw line endings were supplied through standard bubbling ClipboardEvents.

Steps: clear the composer between cases; paste the LF control, focused CRLF, unfocused CRLF after a conversation-background click without refocusing, then focused and unfocused lone CR. After each paste, press End, Up, Up, Down, Down; then Up and insert a visible caret marker. Finally paste CRLF inside an empty code fence, click its first line, and press Home then Backspace to unwrap it.

Base hides the CRLF blank line and renders lone CR as xy. Head preserves three paragraphs and matches LF input. Code-fence paste initially looks identical; unwrapping exposes the missing blank line on base and preserves it on head. Recordings show the actual background click and arrow-key interactions. Stills were retained after two matching frames 500 ms apart.
