fix(web): Settings and Usage modals fade in when they open - #28699
The Settings and Usage modals fade and scale out when they close, but appear instantly when they open. AppRouteModal mounts its Base UI dialog already open (useState(true)), and Base UI's useTransitionStatus skips the starting phase for a dialog that mounts open, so the popup's and backdrop's data-starting-style never apply. Reproduced on main (82b10d5) in the web dev server: open Settings or Usage from the sidebar and the first painted frame is already at opacity 1; Esc fades it out over ~150 ms.
Change
AppRouteModal now mounts the dialog closed and opens it in a layout effect right after the first commit, before paint. Base UI sees an ordinary closed-to-open change, so the popup and backdrop run their existing enter transition. Base UI 1.9.0 has no Dialog option for animating an initial open (animateInitialOpen is only wired for Menu). Close behaviour, focus handling and the shared dialog components are unchanged.
vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (2 packages), AppRouteModal.browser.test.tsx (1 passed), and React compiler all pass.
Real app, web dev server on a fresh database, preview browser. A per-frame sampler clicked the sidebar Settings / Usage button, read the [data-app-modal] popup and the dialog-backdrop on every animation frame, watched for data-starting-style / data-ending-style, then pressed Esc. Columns are [ms after click, popup opacity, popup scale, backdrop opacity]:
no data-starting-style; first frame [191, 1, none]
not sampled
Settings / Usage close (Esc)
data-ending-style; [154, 0.028, 0.985, 0.137], then unmounted
unchanged: [174, 0.027, 0.985, 0.137], then unmounted, back on the thread route
After the fix, focus lands on the modal surface (document.activeElement is the popup) for both modals.
Moving between Settings sections keeps the same modal mounted (child routes), so it does not replay the fade. Switching directly between Settings and Usage remounts the modal, so the new one fades in like any other open.
Not checked: before/after recordings are not attached yet; the after state at 390 px; the desktop (Electron) app, which wraps the same web component. Mobile does not use this component.
Model and harness: Claude Opus 5.5 (Claude Code) for triage, reproduction, the fix and review B; GPT-6.1-sol (Codex) for review A and the proof audit, orchestrated by T3 Code.
AppRouteModal mounted its dialog already open, and Base UI 1.9.0 skips the
starting transition for a dialog that is open on its first render, so the
modals appeared instantly while still fading out on close. Mount closed and
open in a layout effect, so the first painted frame carries
data-starting-style and the popup and backdrop transition in.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change enables modal entrance fades while respecting reduced-motion preferences for scaling. It also adds a lint-suppression directive for two rules, which requires human review under the repository’s explicit policy.

Walkthrough
AppRouteModal now starts closed and opens in a layout effect after its first commit. Its scale animation styles apply only when motion is safe. The opacity transition classes remain unchanged.
Changes: Modal opening state

Summary
Initialize and animate modal apps/web/src/components/AppRouteModal.tsx
AppRouteModal initializes open as false and sets it to true in a layout effect after its first commit. The starting and ending scale styles apply only when motion is safe; opacity transition classes are unchanged.
The modal scale animation respects reduced-motion preferences. No merge-blocking issue is established.

Explanation
The description includes the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It explains the cause, implementation, issue reference, test results, browser evidence, and known limitations. It also identifies that required before/after recordings are not attached yet, but the description is otherwise substantially complete.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Active issue [#28695] requires Settings and Usage modals to fade and scale in. AppRouteModal now starts with open set to false and sets it to true in useLayoutEffect, which creates the required closed-to-open transition before paint. The existing starting styles can run. The reported browser test and browser sampling support the behavior. Close handling remains in place.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The whole-PR diff changes only apps/web/src/components/AppRouteModal.tsx. The state and layout-effect changes implement [#28695]. The motion-safe: variants apply to the same modal scale styles and remain related to the animation behavior. No unrelated change is present.

// oxlint-disable-next-line t3code/no-unreasoned-state-sync, react/set-state-in-effect -- Base UI skips the enter transition for a dialog that mounts open, so open it after the first commit, before paint.
The new opening transition scales the Settings and Usage popups even when the user requests reduced motion. Keep the fade, but apply the scale changes only when motion is allowed.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
these checks fail on a8dda9d, also when run again: Check, Test Web, and the rework changed nothing:
No code change. The failed Test Web (and the Check aggregate) on a8dda9d is unrelated to this PR: the one failing test, RightPanelTabs.browser.test.tsx > 'a flick that scrolls the tab strip to its left edge keeps the thread, a swipe from the edge goes back', is not on this branch. It came from main (#33396, 1161141), whose own Check also failed on CI. Main fixed it in #34191 (42185a6), which only makes the test run as macOS on any CI host. Locally the test passes on the pre-fix version too, so the failure depends on the CI host; a rerun against current main should pass. Reduced-motion finding: CodeRabbit asked to disable the popup scale under prefers-reduced-motion. The current head already gates both the starting and ending scale with motion-safe: and keeps the opacity fade. That is in scope because the fix newly makes the modal animate on open, so nothing further is needed. Reconciliation items left to the forge-write and proof steps: the PR description's 'After' column cites e7de89e and the stop comment cites a different head than the actual head a8dda9d; the before/after animation recordings are still missing. The fix itself is unchanged: AppRouteModal mounts closed and opens in a layout effect before paint, so Base UI runs the existing enter transition.
It stays open for a person to finish or close.
