Summary

  • compare prompt-history contents before resetting navigation state
  • preserve the current draft and history index when assistant streaming updates clineMessages without adding a user prompt
  • continue resetting navigation when the actual prompt history or history source changes
  • add a regression test covering Arrow Up, an intervening streamed assistant message, and Arrow Down back to the current draft

Fixes #1600

Validation

  • regression test failed before the fix and passes afterward
  • ChatTextArea suite: 66 tests passed

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Preserved the current prompt input when new assistant messages arrive during streaming.
    • Prevented unchanged prompt history from resetting the selected history position or temporary input.
    • Reset prompt-history navigation and temporary input when switching between task and conversation history.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for restoring the latest prompt and original input after streamed assistant responses.
    • Added coverage for resetting navigation state when the history source changes.

Walkthrough

The prompt history hook now tracks history source changes and skips state updates when filtered history is unchanged. Tests verify navigation reset when switching sources and current-input restoration after assistant output causes a rerender.

The synchronization effect compares history contents and source before updating state. It resets navigation state when the source changes and preserves the history list when prompts remain identical. Tests cover source switching and restoring saved input after assistant output is appended.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The PR changes prompt-history synchronization to reset navigation when the filtered prompt contents change, while avoiding resets for assistant-only streaming updates. The streaming regression test covers unchanged prompt contents, and the hook test covers a source change with identical contents. However, no focused test covers a prompt-content change while the history source remains the same. The existing task-to-conversation test changes both source and contents, so it cannot detect a failure in the content-change condition independently.

Resolution

Add a focused hook test at usePromptHistory level. Start with non-empty conversation history, navigate to an entry, and set a draft. Rerender with the same conversation source plus a new user_feedback prompt. Assert that promptHistory updates and that historyIndex and tempInput reset. Keep the existing assistant-streaming test to verify that unchanged prompt contents do not reset navigation.
