fix(web): prevent expanded tool calls from hiding thread content

[t3dotgg]

Expanding tool calls could add thousands of pixels of empty space below a thread and make its messages appear missing.

Apply the existing native LegendList anchored-space fix to both web builds. Reserved bottom padding now shrinks as expanded rows are measured.

Verified with 85 focused timeline tests, the web typecheck, and a direct reproduction that reduces stale padding from 2143.88px to 284px.

Built by GPT-5.6 Sol using the Codex harness.

Note

Medium Risk
Patches virtualized list scroll/padding math used by threads. Wrong sizing can still hide content or jump scroll, but the change is a targeted vendor patch with no auth or data-path impact.

Overview
Stops expanded tool-call rows from leaving thousands of pixels of stale bottom padding on web threads, which made messages look missing.

The @legendapp/list patch now applies the existing native maybeUpdateAnchoredEndSpace behavior to react.js and react.mjs: reserved end space is clamped to the known viewport bound while tail sizes are unknown, and it can shrink before ready (updating scroll when the space is part of the end inset).

Also wires contentInsetStartAdjustment through the native list, applies contentInsetEndAdjustment on all platforms (not web-only), and forwards onScrollBeginDrag.

Note

Fix expanded tool calls hiding thread content by patching @legendapp/list

Updates the embedded patch for @legendapp/list@3.3.5 to adjust maybeUpdateAnchoredEndSpace logic in the react.js and react.mjs targets, and removes a stale hunk around onScrollBeginDrag and keyExtractor in the react-native.js target. This fixes a layout bug where expanding tool calls in the web UI caused thread content to be hidden.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The patch adds leading-inset support to LegendList scrolling, keyboard-aware lists, MVCP, anchored end-space calculations, and Reanimated transitions. Initial end scrolling now stabilizes measured content before rendering and stops when measurements settle or the user drags.

Changes

LegendList inset handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Keyboard inset contracts patches/@legendapp__list@3.3.5.patch	The keyboard composer hook accepts height adjustment. Keyboard-aware list props expose inset compensation and static end-inset adjustment. React Native and Reanimated lists expose contentInsetStartAdjustment.
Inset-aware scroll maintenance patches/@legendapp__list@3.3.5.patch	Scroll clamping, end maintenance, MVCP calculations, native scroll wiring, fallback retries, and Reanimated transitions account for leading insets and repositioning.
Initial end-scroll stabilization patches/@legendapp__list@3.3.5.patch	Initial end scrolling uses a measurement watchdog, suppresses rendering while sizes settle, and releases on stability, timeout, unmount, or user drag.
Anchored end-space convergence patches/@legendapp__list@3.3.5.patch	Unknown-tail end space is capped by known bounds. Provisional decreases update end-inset scrolling before the tail is fully measured.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to d57cf

The vendor patch contains a duplicate event binding that makes the web bundle invalid JavaScript, potentially preventing the application from loading. Merge should be blocked until the duplicate binding is removed.

Remove the duplicate onScrollBeginDrag binding.

The CJS bundle declares onScrollBeginDrag twice in one const destructuring declaration. This is invalid JavaScript and prevents the bundle from loading.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 513eafc

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused vendor-patch bug fix that prevents stale anchored bottom space from hiding web thread content as tool-call rows expand. Its runtime impact is limited to existing anchored virtualized-list behavior, with matching CommonJS and ESM changes and no sensitive or schema-related effects.
