ComposerCommandMenuLayer is a flex column capped to the space above the composer, but ComposerStashMenu's ComposerBanner.Root was not a flex column with min-h-0, so the stash kept its own height (ComposerBanner.Scroll's max-h-[min(24rem,40dvh)]) and painted over the editor. The fix, only in ComposerStashMenu.tsx: (1) the stash Root gets flex min-h-0 flex-col, the same chain #9625 gave the slash menu's surface; (2) ComposerBanner.Scroll gets flex flex-col so its viewport becomes a shrinkable flex item. Without this the surface was clipped to the layer but the viewport stayed 358px tall and lower entries were cut off and unreachable; (3) after:shrink-0 keeps Root's 17px overlap spacer, which became a flex item, from being squeezed to ~5px, which would push the last visible row under the composer lip. Measured with a temporary browser harness (real layer + stash menu + index.css, 20 entries, composer near the top): main had the layer at 24-177px and the drawer ending at 435px. With the fix the drawer ends at 177px, the viewport is 100px and scrolls through 579px of content, and the spacer stays 17px. With 4 entries and plenty of room, every measurement is identical between main and the fix, so nothing else visible changes. This is a 'broken on its face' visual bug: the stash overlaps and catches clicks for the editor. The app also contradicts itself, since the slash menu in the same layer shrinks. No new regex or parser.

Fixes #35429

Reproduction on main

Commit 0cd6a73 (origin/main). In a fresh worktree after vp i, ran the reporter's repro.sh unchanged (CASES='1366x768 terminal=320|1920x1080 terminal=320'). It mounts the production AppRoot, ChatView, ChatComposer, the stash menu and the terminal drawer in headless Chromium; only the environment transport is faked. It seeds 20 stash entries and a ten-line draft, opens a 320px bottom terminal and clicks the Stash badge. At 1366x768 the composer-drawer layer is 155px tall (top 24 to bottom 179), but the stash surface ends at 380px: 201px past the layer, covering 205px of the 208px editor, and a hit-test inside the editor lands on the stash. The control, the slash menu in the same composer, ends exactly at the layer bottom (0px spill). At 1920x1080 the stash fits (0 spill). Pointer restore of the last scrolled entry still works. Captures: stash https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/ebb1bd55ebdd37cd/stash-1366x768.png, slash control https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/7ce0d5a6ae56009b/slash-1366x768.png

Evidence

Real web app in headless Chromium 156 on Linux, light theme. At 1366×768, seed 20 synthetic stash entries and a ten-line draft, open a 320px bottom terminal, then click Stash. Scroll to the last entry and restore it. Resize to 1920×1080 and reopen Stash with the remaining 19 entries.

Before After
0cd6a73433 858a080e8b
Before: stash covers draft, 1366×768 After: stash fits above draft, 1366×768
Before: scrolled to last entry After: scrolled to last entry
Before: restored prompt appended to draft After: restored prompt appended to draft
Before: 1920×1080 control after restoration After: 1920×1080 control after restoration

At 1366×768, stash spill decreased from 201px to 0px and editor overlap from 205px to the intended 4px. The hit-test inside the draft reached the stash before and the draft after. Scrolling and pointer restoration worked on both commits. At 1920×1080, both had 0px spill. scenarios:prove exited 0.

Tests

Temporary browser measurement harness, not committed: on main the drawer bottom was 435px against a 177px layer; with the fix it is 177px and the viewport scrolls; the unconstrained case is identical on both. vp test run src/components/chat/ComposerStashMenu.browser.test.tsx: 1 passed. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (2 packages), test (1 file) and react compiler all pass.

Not in this change

  • ComposerBanner.Scroll's fixed max-h-[min(24rem,40dvh)] is shared by other banners and left unchanged; inside the layer the flex chain now overrides it.
  • No regression browser test was added: AGENTS.md treats purely visual layout bugs as needing before/after captures, so captures are left to the proof step.

… is short

The composer drawer layer caps its height to the space above the composer,
but the stash surface was not a flex column with min-h-0, so it kept its own
height and painted over the draft. Make the stash surface and its scroll area
shrink to the layer, matching the slash command menu, and keep the overlap
spacer at full height.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 858a080

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The Prompt Stash drawer can shrink above the composer when vertical space is limited. The change is confined to layout classes and leaves stash actions and stored data unchanged.

Walkthrough

ComposerStashMenu adds flex layout classes to the banner root and scroll region. Its props, event handling, and stash-entry behavior are unchanged.

Changes: Prompt Stash layout

Layer / File(s) Summary
Banner and scroll layout
apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerStashMenu.tsx
The banner root now uses a flex-column layout, a minimum height of zero, and a non-shrinking ::after element. The scroll region now uses a flex-column layout.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Suggested labels: bugfix, size:S

Suggested reviewers: t3dotgg, maria-rcks

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 858a0

The Prompt Stash now shrinks within the available space and its entries scroll instead of covering the editor. The change is small and layout-only, so merge risk is minimal.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the actual change: the Prompt Stash in the composer shrinks above the composer when vertical space is short, which matches the ComposerStashMenu.tsx flex-layout fix. It follows conventional commit form with a plain-language description. The title is 78 characters, which is long, but it stays a single sentence and remains specific.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #35429 has only coding requirements. The reviewed diff changes only apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerStashMenu.tsx. (1) [#35429] The stash ComposerBanner.Root gains flex min-h-0 flex-col, the same flex chain used by the slash menu surface, so the stash can shrink inside ComposerCommandMenuLayer. (2) [#35429] ComposerBanner.Scroll gains flex flex-col, so its viewport is a shrinkable flex item and entries stay reachable through scrolling. (3) after:shrink-0 keeps the overlap spacer from collapsing, which preserves the intended attachment overlap. The entry-selection and pointer-restore handlers are unchanged, so existing restore behavior is preserved by absence of edits. The PR reports browser measurements (drawer bottom 435px to 177px at the constrained layout; identical unconstrained layout). The diff supports those claims; I did not re-run the measurements. No automated regression test was added. The issue does not require one, and the PR gives a reason for omitting it.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The only changed file is ComposerStashMenu.tsx, and all three class changes target the stash menu layout that issue #35429 describes. The PR does not change the shared ComposerBanner.Scroll max-height or any other component. No unrelated change is present in the reviewed diff between merge base 0cd6a73 and head 858a080.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and follows the template. It states the problem (the stash Root was not a flex column with min-h-0, so it overlapped the editor), the change (flex min-h-0 flex-col on Root, flex flex-col on ComposerBanner.Scroll, after:shrink-0 on the spacer), and the scope (bug fix linked to issue #35429). Verification includes a reproduction on main, before/after captures, and test and check results. Minor gaps: the Scope section does not fully explain why the change is a bug fix rather than a feature, although the issue link covers it, and the Verification section relies on a temporary harness that was not committed. The template's structure is otherwise satisfied.
