Summary

  • allow nearby tool batching to bridge exact repeated assistant preambles emitted by providers such as Qwen/vLLM
  • preserve distinct assistant text as a semantic boundary

  • add utility and ChatView regression coverage

Fixes #1656

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved chat rendering when repeated assistant messages surround batched file-reading actions.
    • Identical or empty assistant preambles no longer interrupt tool-call batching, reducing duplicate displayed messages.
    • Distinct assistant messages continue to separate tool-call batches correctly.
    • Improved handling of messages that both identify and separate nearby tool actions.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for repeated preambles, combined tool rows, restored messages, and distinct-message boundaries.

Walkthrough

The change updates chat batching to use the preceding non-ignorable message as context. Repeated identical assistant preambles can be ignored between matching tool requests. Tests cover batching, boundaries, restoration, and rendered file batches.

Changes

Chat batching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Context-aware batching
webview-ui/src/utils/batchNearby.ts, webview-ui/src/utils/chatBatchingPredicates.ts
batchNearby passes the preceding non-ignorable item to checks and evaluates targets before boundaries. Matching non-empty text messages are treated as ignorable.
Batching regression coverage
webview-ui/src/utils/__tests__/batchNearby.spec.ts, webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatView.spec.tsx
Tests cover repeated preambles, distinct text boundaries, restoration when no later target exists, target-boundary handling, and combined file rows.

In `@webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatView.spec.tsx`:
- Line 501: Strengthen the assertion in the test around toolRows[0] by parsing
the tool payload instead of checking only for the "batchFiles" key. Assert that
batchFiles contains both a.ts and b.ts in the expected order, preserving the
test’s existing setup and behavior.

In `@webview-ui/src/utils/batchNearby.ts`:
- Line 56: Update the inner scan in batchNearby to evaluate isBoundary before
isTarget, ensuring items matching both predicates stop merging rather than being
added to the batch. Add a regression test covering overlapping predicates where
both return true.
