BrowserPreviewRouteScreen and McpAppFullscreenScreen passed raw route params into EnvironmentId/ThreadId/TurnItemId.make. I confirmed with a node snippet that each throws 'Schema validation failed' on a blank string ("%20" decodes to " "), so the screen threw during render and fell into the GuardedScreenLayout error fallback. Both screens now check the params with .trim() before calling make, as AttachmentFileScreen and the terminal, files and thread routes (firstRouteParam) already do. With a blank environment or thread ID the browser route shows its sheet with the existing 'Browser' header and close button and an empty body; that is the same layout as its no-tab state, without the spinner. With a blank environment, thread or item ID the MCP-app route shows its existing app bar and its existing 'This app cannot be shown.' message. The rest of the MCP screen moved unchanged into an inner McpAppFullscreen component that takes branded IDs, so hook order stays stable. Valid links behave exactly as before. No new regex or parser. Not run on a device; the evidence is the code, the constructor check and the checks below.

Fixes #35395

Reproduction on main

On origin/main 49b858b I installed dependencies, fetched the cached Android dev client with vp run mobile:install android --prepare, started Metro on all interfaces, leased a Pixel 9 (API 36) from the device pool and installed the client. With no environment connected, I opened deep links with agent-device open <url> --platform android. Control t3code-dev://threads/env-1/thread-1/browser opened the normal Browser modal. t3code-dev://threads/%20/thread-1/browser showed the dev Render Error 'Schema validation failed' thrown from BrowserPreviewRouteScreen.tsx:35. After dismissing it, the screen showed the GuardedScreenLayout fallback: "This screen couldn't be displayed", 'Error: Schema validation failed', Try again / Copy details / Go back, plus an error toast. t3code-dev://threads/env-1/thread-1/apps/%20 then ended on the same fallback screen; the Metro log did not name McpAppFullscreenScreen, so that capture is less certain to be the MCP-app screen. The blank-thread variants were not run on the device.

Evidence

Pixel 9, Android API 36, portrait 1080x2424, light theme, development client, no environment connected. Each commit ran through Metro from its own checkout. The same driver opened the nonblank Browser control, then each malformed link below, returning to the thread list between cases. Base showed Schema validation failed and the generic screen fallback in all five cases. Head showed the empty Browser screen or This app cannot be shown.; every close control worked. Final screenshot pairs 500 ms apart were pixel-identical after status-bar normalization.

Links opened with agent-device open <url> --platform android: control t3code-dev://threads/env-1/thread-1/browser; malformed paths threads/%20/thread-1/browser, threads/env-1/%20/browser, threads/env-1/thread-1/apps/%20, threads/%20/thread-1/apps/item-1, and threads/env-1/%20/apps/item-1, each under t3code-dev://.

Not shown:

  • iOS and the production t3code:// scheme were not exercised; the reported Android reproduction was verified using the development client and t3code-dev://.

Tests

node snippet in apps/server: EnvironmentId.make(' '), ThreadId.make(' '), TurnItemId.make(' ') each throw 'Schema validation failed' (reproduction of the cause). vp run check:changed: pass (format, lint, knip 2/2, typecheck of 2 packages, react compiler on 2 files, tests next to the changed files: 7 passed).

Not in this change

  • GitOverviewSheet (threads/:environmentId/:threadId/git) calls EnvironmentId.make(props.route.params.environmentId) without checking it, so a blank environment ID in that link likely crashes the same way.
  • shouldHandleAppLink and the Stack.tsx linking config still accept blank path segments; filtering them at the linking layer would be a broader change than this fix needs.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

… the screen

BrowserPreviewRouteScreen and McpAppFullscreenScreen passed raw route params
into EnvironmentId/ThreadId/TurnItemId.make, which throw on blank strings, so
a link like threads/%20/thread-1/browser hit the screen error fallback. Both
screens now check the params first, like the other thread routes, and show
their empty or "This app cannot be shown." state instead.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 4ad3152

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Blank-ID browser and MCP-app links now show closeable fallback screens instead of attempting to load content. Valid links retain their existing behavior and safeguards, keeping the change narrowly scoped.

Walkthrough

The browser and MCP-app routes now check required IDs after trimming whitespace. When a required ID is blank, each route renders an unavailable screen with a close action. Valid IDs continue to the normal screen.

Changes: Mobile route validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Check required IDs before rendering
apps/mobile/src/features/browser/BrowserPreviewRouteScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/McpAppFullscreenScreen.tsx
Both routes check required IDs after trimming. The browser shows a “Browser” header with a close control when an ID is blank. The MCP-app route shows an “App” screen with an unavailable-app message and a close action. Valid IDs are converted to branded types and passed to the normal screens.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Suggested reviewers: maria-rcks, t3dotgg

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 4ad31

Blank or whitespace route IDs now show the existing unavailable states instead of the error fallback, and valid links are unchanged. No merge-blocking risk was found.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the fix (blank IDs in browser and MCP-app links no longer crash the screen) and matches the changeset, which adds .trim() checks in BrowserPreviewRouteScreen and McpAppFullscreenScreen before branded ID construction. It is specific, uses the conventional commit form, and is 13 words, slightly long but acceptable.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed code lies in the two screens named by issue #35395. The browser change adds a guard and an unavailable-state component. The MCP-app change adds a guard and moves the existing body into an inner McpAppFullscreen component that takes branded IDs. That move supports the stated goal of stable hook order. No unrelated files appear in the reviewed diff. The PR description's 'Not in this change' items (GitOverviewSheet and linking-layer filtering) are not touched, so they raise no out-of-scope concern.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and follows the template's intent. It states the problem (blank or whitespace route IDs make the branded ID constructors throw 'Schema validation failed', which triggers the GuardedScreenLayout fallback) and explains the change (.trim() checks before make, matching existing firstRouteParam handling). It also covers scope with a linked issue (#35395), verification on a Pixel 9 with before/after screenshots and recordings, and a node snippet confirming the cause. It notes what was not verified (iOS, production scheme, blank-thread variants on device, GitOverviewSheet). The template's Scope section asks for a bug-fix justification and the issue link is present. Minor gaps: the 'Problem' and 'Change' headings are not explicit sections, and the description does not name a conventional commit title. These are non-critical, so the check passes.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #35395 requires regression coverage. The reviewed diff from merge base f03db4f to head 4ad3152 changes only apps/mobile/src/features/browser/BrowserPreviewRouteScreen.tsx and apps/mobile/src/features/threads/McpAppFullscreenScreen.tsx. It adds no test file. The PR cites only existing tests (7 passed) and a Node snippet, which does not cover the screens. Code behavior for the coding requirements: (1) Blank environment or thread IDs on the browser route now render BrowserUnavailableScreen, which avoids EnvironmentId.make and ThreadId.make on blank input. (2) Blank environment, thread or item IDs on the MCP-app route now render the 'This app cannot be shown.' state, which avoids the same constructors. (3) Valid params still reach the original components, and the schema is unchanged. Requirements (1) and (2) are met in code. The issue also asks to dismiss or otherwise skip the route before screen rendering. The PR instead renders a fallback screen. The PR author states this choice explicitly. Whether it satisfies 'otherwise skipping the route' is a scope decision, not verified by tests.

Resolution

Add regression tests for the two screens. For BrowserPreviewRouteScreen, cover blank environmentId and blank threadId, and assert that no screen error fallback or 'Schema validation failed' error renders. For McpAppFullscreenScreen, cover blank environmentId, threadId and itemId with the same assertion. Also cover one valid link per screen to confirm unchanged rendering. Confirm with the issue author whether rendering the unavailable state meets 'dismissing or otherwise skipping the route'. If not, change the route handling before screen rendering.
