fix(web): wrapped file editor keeps the caret in view across a digit boundary

[Mnigos]

Addresses the digit-boundary half of #7907 (the Redo half was fixed by #16644 — #16644); rebuilt from #10508 (#10508) on current main after its closure.

Problem

In the Files surface with word wrap on, pressing Enter when the line count crosses a digit boundary (999 to 1000) leaves the caret off screen. The wider line-number gutter can rewrap rows, so the patched @pierre/diffs editor asked the virtualizer to drop every measured row height. The file shrank to single-row estimates under the viewport, and the browser clamped the scroll position before any row could be remeasured. The code-width tracking added in #10018 (#10018) dropped all heights on a width change and had the same effect.

Change

All in patches/@pierre%2Fdiffs@1.5.2.patch:

• The editor always invalidates from the edited line, also across a digit boundary. Rows before it keep their measured heights as estimates.
• The code-width cache and its full reset are removed. Rendered rows are remeasured through the existing resize path, and off-screen rows are remeasured when they render. Keeping prior measurements avoids immediately collapsing wrapped rows to single-line estimates.

fileEditorVirtualization.test.ts now encodes that policy for width changes, resize delivery, hide and show at a new width, stale off-screen estimates corrected once rendered, digit-boundary growth and shrink, and undo/redo across the boundary. It also keeps a redo caret test as a regression guard for #16644 (#16644).

Verification

• vp test run src/components/files/fileEditorVirtualization.test.ts: 31 pass. 12 of them (the width and digit-boundary cases) fail on main's patch, where measured 80px rows fall back to 20px estimates. The redo test passes before and after.
• vp test run src/components/files src/components/diffs/codeViewSearch.test.ts: 136 pass. Web typecheck, plus fmt and lint on the test file.
• The installed patched package contains both the find-in-diffs code from feat(web): find in diffs with Cmd+F #14623 (feat(web): find in diffs with Cmd+F #14623) and this change.

Real web client. Headless Chromium at 1280×800 against vp run dev from this branch, isolated state, a synthetic project with a 999-line wrapped file, word wrap on, explorer hidden, editor 419 px wide. scrollTop comes from the editor's scroll container and the caret line from the native selection in the editor's shadow DOM.

Scenario	Before (main, recorded 2026-09-07)	After (this branch)
Enter at the end of line 999 of 999	49188/L999 → 29308/L801, first visible line 994 → 828, caret off screen	37228/L999 → 37240/L1000, first visible line stays 991, caret visible
Enter ×15, End, Undo ×8, Redo	jumped to line 1001 before #16644; now fixed upstream	no jump, Redo moves the view by one row, caret visible

Absolute scrollTop values differ from the September recording because the sample file's lines wrap to a different height; the behavior is what matters: a one-row change instead of a jump.

Before (main): Enter at line 999 moves the view away from the caret	After: line 1000 appears with the caret still in view

After, just before the Enter · After, video of the Enter · After, video of the Undo/Redo sequence

Not changed: resizing the panel with the caret in the middle of the file can still jump. Fixing that needs a change to the virtualizer's render order and is out of scope here.

Implemented with Claude Opus 5.5, verified with GPT-6 Astra, coordinated by Claude Fable 5.1 in Claude Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 6c554c0

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a localized file-editor bug fix that preserves measured wrapped-row geometry across line-number digit changes and remeasures visible rows after resize, preventing caret/viewport jumps. The accompanying tests cover the affected resize, digit-boundary, and undo/redo paths, while the lockfile update only records the patched dependency hash.

Notes:

• Diff unchanged. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CodeView adds search across diff lines, with match highlighting, navigation, keyboard shortcuts, and horizontal scrolling. Search can reveal collapsed items through a host callback. Virtualized file layout preserves earlier height estimates after edits and reconciles measured heights after resize events.

Changes

Diff search and navigation

Layer / File(s)

Summary

Search across diff lines patches/@pierre%2Fdiffs@1.5.2.patch

CodeView adds diff search, match highlighting, keyboard shortcuts, navigation, and horizontal scrolling to matches. When a match is in a collapsed item, CodeView calls the reveal callback and resumes after the item is unfolded. Search updates as items and rendered rows change. The patch also adds find-only panel support, locale-formatted change counts, and package exports for search types and utilities.

Virtualized layout and validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Layout invalidation and resize reconciliation patches/@pierre%2Fdiffs@1.5.2.patch	Layout invalidation clears measurements from the changed line onward and retains earlier measurements. It skips file-annotation height measurement when the code area has no positive width. Resize events request height reconciliation, and Editor passes the edit’s starting line to layout invalidation.
Virtualization tests and editor fixture apps/web/src/components/files/fileEditorVirtualization.test.ts	Tests check retained offscreen estimates, resize remeasurement, hidden-editor behavior, and row and caret positioning after undo and redo. The test fixture adds configurable rendered rows and DOM support for style properties, selectors, sibling offsets, and selection.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6c554

The change remains mergeable, but the tests do not directly protect against the reported offscreen-caret regression. Add a viewport assertion to strengthen that coverage.

Add a viewport assertion to the digit-boundary tests.

The fixture has no scrollable viewport. EditorElement.scrollIntoView() is a no-op, and the digit-boundary tests only assert text length and retained row heights. A caret can therefore remain outside the viewport while all of these tests pass. The redo test checks only the caret transform relative to its row, not viewport visibility. Add a viewport model and assert that the caret remains within it after the digit-boundary edit.
