feat(ui): add interface, terminal, editor font size and spacing settings - #2224
This PR adds font size and spacing settings to the UI tab.
Settings
Interface font size (50-200%), Terminal font size (8-32 px), Editor font size (8-32 px), and Spacing density (50-200%). Each has a stepper and a reset.
A live preview that follows the steppers before the user presses Save.
How it works
Each value maps to one CSS variable on <html>. A value that is not set removes the override, so the stylesheet default applies.
With nothing set, the layout and the sizes of code, diff, and terminal blocks do not change. The editor size reaches the diff view only while a value is set (a class on <html>).
The preview sets each unset value to initial. A value saved on <html> cannot leak into the preview, so a reset shows before Save. The preview uses the same fallbacks as the live UI.
Review notes
The four settings go through the updateSettings message. Reset values are sent as null so that they clear the stored value.
The review gate flagged that the four values were part of a save that was not atomic. The save pipeline changes below fix that. See "Save pipeline changes".
Most of the diff is the 17 locale files. Only the ui.appearance strings are added.
Save pipeline changes
The "Persistence Integrity" check reported that the four appearance values are saved in a loop that can stop half way. A failed write left some values stored and the rest not, and the webview could not tell. The changes below fix that, and nothing else about how settings are applied. The API configuration, telemetry, and debug messages are sent immediately, exactly as before, and every side effect of a setting runs in the same place as before.
webviewMessageHandler.ts, updateSettings: the four appearance values (interfaceFontScale, terminalFontSize, editorFontSize, spacingScale) are saved all-or-nothing. Each is recorded, with the value it had, right before it is written. If a write fails, the ones this save already stored are put back in reverse order, and so is the one whose own write failed, in case it changed the stored value before failing. The store is shared by the sidebar and the editor tab, so saves can overlap. The writes to one key form a chain. A write is put back only while it is the latest one and the stored value is still what it wrote, so a newer save's value, and a change made outside a save (an import), are kept. A write that fails while a newer one is pending is taken out of the chain, so if the newer one fails too, it restores what was stored before either of them, in whichever order they fail. Writes of one appearance value run one at a time, from every save and every rollback and across providers, and each stays in line until it has reached durable storage, so a slower write cannot complete after a newer one and overwrite it. A write that fails does not hold up the ones behind it. Writes that have finished are taken out of the chain, so nothing is kept about them once the saves are over. The result is posted as settingsSaveResult (success or the error), also when the state refresh fails, and the refresh runs after the values were put back.
The four appearance values are validated in the extension host, with the schemas they are defined with (an integer within its bounds, or null for a reset), before any side effect runs or any setting is stored. An invalid value changes nothing, not even the valid settings sent with it. The save fails with an error and the webview is told. The webview is not trusted: the stepper's limits do not bind a message that was written by hand. Other settings are not checked, as before.
A failure while writing any other setting follows the existing error path, as before, with one addition: the webview is told the save failed (it is waiting for the result), and then the error is rethrown. No error is shown for it, as before. Every other setting is written exactly as before, and the loop itself is unchanged.
The error shown for a failed appearance save does not claim a full restore: it says some settings may be left partly changed.
Not part of the transaction, on purpose: every other setting, and the side effects that run in place while saving (the language, speech, the terminal settings, the command lists in VS Code configuration, the MCP servers, the destructive command guard install). They behave as before and are not undone by a failed save.
SettingsView.tsx: only a save that changes an appearance value waits for the host's answer. For that save, Save is disabled while it is pending, and the "unsaved changes" flag clears only when the host reports success, so a failed save keeps the edits and can be retried. An edit made while it is pending keeps the flag. Request ids (saveRequestId.ts) combine a per-load id with a counter, so an answer from an earlier mount or before a reload cannot match a later save. Every other save behaves exactly as before: no request id, nothing to wait for, and the flag is cleared at once. The existing SettingsView tests for those saves are unchanged.
packages/types: the settingsSaveResult message type. common.json (18 locales): errors.settings_save_failed, shown when a save is rolled back.
Test Procedure
pnpm check-types passes in webview-ui, src, and packages/types.
Webview tests pass. New tests cover the appearance save and reset, the ExtensionStateContext hydrate and update path, and the save result flow (success, failure, edit during a save, late answers).
Extension tests cover the all-or-nothing save (restore order, a newer value is kept, a failing restore, no request id, a failed state refresh).
A Playwright snapshot covers the preview in four themes, with set values and with a reset while <html> holds saved values.
Manual: open Settings > UI. Change each value. Check the preview. Press Save. Check the chat. Reset each value.

New Features
Customize interface scaling, chat spacing, terminal text size, and editor text size in Appearance settings.
Preview changes before saving and reset individual settings to their defaults.
Appearance settings and preview text are available in supported languages.
Bug Fixes
Appearance saves now confirm whether changes were saved. Failed saves display an error and keep changes available to retry.
Appearance settings now apply consistently across chat, code, diffs, and terminal output, and reset to their defaults when cleared.
The change adds four configurable appearance settings for interface scale, chat spacing, terminal font size, and editor font size. It adds settings controls and a live preview, applies values to webview styles, and adds request-correlated saves with host validation and conditional rollback.
Changes: Appearance settings and persistence
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Appearance contract and state packages/types/src/global-settings.ts, packages/types/src/vscode-extension-host.ts, src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, webview-ui/src/context/ExtensionStateContext.tsx, related tests
The schema and extension/webview state carry four nullable appearance values. The context applies them to root CSS variables and removes overrides when values are unset.
CSS variables and appearance consumers webview-ui/src/utils/appearance.ts, webview-ui/src/index.css, webview-ui/src/components/chat/*, webview-ui/src/components/common/*, visual fixtures and tests, webview-ui/playwright/gallery/stories.tsx
The appearance utility clamps values and updates CSS variables. Styles and chat, Markdown, code, diff, and terminal components consume those variables. Tests cover configured and unset styles.
Settings controls and preview webview-ui/src/components/settings/NumberStepper.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/settings/UISettings.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/settings/AppearancePreview.tsx, related tests, webview-ui/src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json, knip.json
The settings view adds numeric controls and a preview for the four appearance values. Tests cover editing, reset behavior, persistence, telemetry, and preview styles. Translations add control and preview text across supported locales.
Request-correlated save flow webview-ui/src/components/settings/SettingsView.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/settings/saveRequestId.ts, webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/saveAcknowledgement.ts, related tests, packages/types/src/vscode-extension-host.ts
Appearance edits include request IDs in updateSettings messages. The view waits for a matching result and clears dirty state only after success when the submitted state remains current. Other saves clear dirty state immediately.
Host validation and rollback src/core/webview/webviewMessageHandler.ts, src/core/config/appearanceSettingWrites.ts, related tests, src/i18n/locales/*/common.json
The host validates appearance values before processing updates. It conditionally rolls back eligible appearance writes after failures, logs rollback and refresh errors, and returns request-correlated results. Locales add settings-save failure messages.

Explanation
The title "feat(ui): add interface, terminal, editor font size and spacing settings" matches the main change. The changeset adds four appearance settings (interface font scale, terminal font size, editor font size, spacing scale) to the UI settings tab, along with their persistence, preview, and CSS variable plumbing. The title is short, specific, and uses a conventional-commit prefix. It does not cover the save pipeline changes, but that is expected.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template in substance. It links issue #2222 with Closes, and it has Description, Test Procedure, and a Pre-Submission Checklist. It also explains the CSS variable approach, the save pipeline, and the test coverage. It is detailed and specific. Several template items are incomplete or only partly addressed. The Get in Touch section is missing. The Documentation Updates section is not marked as a choice in the description, though the checklist says no documentation change is needed. The Videos section is absent, which is acceptable because the template marks it as optional. The Visual Snapshots section is not addressed directly. The description says a Playwright snapshot covers the preview, but the raw summary notes that the committed screenshot files are excluded from review. The description also states a snapshot covers four themes, and the Visual Snapshot checklist item is marked as complete.
Resolution
Consider adding the Get in Touch Discord username, marking the Documentation Updates choice explicitly, and adding a Visual Snapshots note that links the committed *.visual.tsx baselines. Also confirm that the manual test steps listed under Test Procedure were run, since the objectives say the manual results are not reported.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue [#2222] is open and directly linked. The PR adds the four UI controls, reset handling, keyboard steppers, assistive value input, live preview, CSS-variable application, and default restoration. The schema and host validation enforce 50–200% and 8–32 px bounds. Terminal output, code, diff, chat, and spacing consumers use the configured values or existing fallbacks. The state and save paths support persistence and reset values. Locale files add the appearance strings for all supported locales. Tests cover these behaviors, including the 18 px terminal case and unset defaults.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The production changes map to [#2222]. The save acknowledgement, validation, rollback, and per-key write ordering support reliable persistence for the four appearance settings. The state, CSS, consumer, localization, unit, integration, and visual-test changes support the requested feature. The knip.json test-pattern change supports the added tests. No demonstrated unrelated production feature or unrelated behavior appears in the reviewed changes.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
Focused coverage exists for the changed behavior. NumberStepper.spec.tsx, appearance.spec.ts, UISettings.spec.tsx, and SettingsView.saveResult.spec.tsx cover editing, keyboard input, clamping, reset/unset values, preview updates, and save acknowledgements. Extension-host tests cover validation, rollback, overlapping writes, failures, refresh failures, and null resets. Context and provider tests cover hydration and CSS application. Playwright snapshots cover UI settings, the appearance preview, and all appearance consumers across four themes.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
No changed security-boundary failure is present. The new appearance settings are validated in the extension host against bounded integer-or-null schemas before side effects or storage (src/core/webview/webviewMessageHandler.ts:775-785). CSS values are clamped and formatted from fixed setting definitions before application (webview-ui/src/utils/appearance.ts:63-84). The preview also clamps values and uses fixed CSS variables (AppearancePreview.tsx:27-32). No changed path exposes secrets or PII, executes user input, or bypasses an approval or allowlist control.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
No changed lifecycle path meets the failure condition. SettingsView adds a window message listener only while pendingSaveId exists and removes the same listener in the effect cleanup at SettingsView.tsx:505-522; the tests also cover answers after unmount. The appearance write queue removes settled keys, and finishSettingWrites/undoSettingWrite unlink completed bookkeeping (appearanceSettingWrites.ts:59-75, 95-129). The changed production code adds no watcher, timer, provider subscription, or task registration without cleanup.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
The new settings save path can overwrite a newer appearance value with a stale value. SettingsView.handleSubmit always adds all four appearance keys to updatedSettings with null fallbacks (webview-ui/src/components/settings/SettingsView.tsx:469-474), even when appearanceEdited is false (:401-404). webviewMessageHandler persists every supplied key (src/core/webview/webviewMessageHandler.ts:805-925). cachedState is not synchronized for ordinary host state updates; it is refreshed only for mode/config changes or imports (SettingsView.tsx:242-264). Scenario: an editor provider saves interfaceFontScale: 150 while a sidebar retains interfaceFontScale: undefined; the sidebar changes only an unrelated setting and saves. Its payload includes interfaceFontScale: null, and the host stores that stale reset. The shared-provider write tracking does not prevent this because it treats the stale write as the newest write.
Resolution
Build the update payload without appearance keys unless the user changed those appearance fields in the current form. Track dirty appearance keys from the form baseline, and send only those keys on an appearance save. Omit all appearance keys for non-appearance saves. Keep the request acknowledgement and rollback logic for the submitted appearance keys. Add a regression test where one provider changes an appearance value and another provider saves an unrelated setting; the newer appearance value must remain stored.

## Unit & State Tests (Vitest + JSDOM)
- When a regression can be proven with a component or webview integration test, keep it in `webview-ui`. Do not promote it to e2e just because the UI is hosted inside VS Code.
[warning] 36-36: This synchronous effect update causes an extra render: Calling setState synchronously within an effect can trigger cascading renders. Prefer deriving or initializing the value before render. If the effect must read a browser API after mount, treat this as advisory or suppress it with // react-doctor-disable-next-line react-hooks-js/set-state-in-effect.
Effects are intended to synchronize state between React and external systems such as manually updating the DOM, state management libraries, or other platform APIs. In general, the body of an effect should do one or both of the following:
Update external systems with the latest state from React.
Subscribe for updates from some external system, calling setState in a callback function when external state changes.

Persistence integrity:updateSettings is now all-or-nothing. Each key is snapshotted before it is written. If any write fails, the earlier ones are restored, the user is shown an error, and the webview gets a settingsSaveResult. SettingsView keeps the edits and the unsaved flag until the host confirms, and only then sends the API configuration, telemetry and debug settings. There is a new errors.settings_save_failed string in all 18 locales.
Tests:SettingsView saves all four appearance values and persists null for each after Reset. ExtensionStateContext hydrates and updates the values, treats null as unset, and applies or removes the CSS variables. There are also all-or-nothing tests in webviewMessageHandler.spec and a SettingsView.saveResult spec.
Changed-line count: extension 69, webview 355, types 16 (all under the 500 cap).
Re the latest pre-merge findings (d9688f4, with baselines from 47ceffe).
Security Boundaries: the four appearance values are now validated in the extension host before anything else happens, with the schemas they are defined with (globalSettingsSchema: an integer within its bounds, or null/unset for a reset). An invalid value changes nothing: no side effect runs (a test sends the destructive command guard install with it and checks it is not called) and no setting is stored, not even the valid ones sent with it. The save fails, the user gets an error, and the webview is told. The error does not echo the invalid value. Tests cover each key with values below and above the bounds, zero, negative, fractional, NaN, infinite, a string, a boolean, an object and an array, plus both bounds and a reset (null) being accepted. Removing the check fails 45 of them. I did not add a whitelist for every other key of updatedSettings: that message carries hundreds of settings, and it is not what this PR changes.
Out of Scope Changes: I kept the behaviour for a failure on a non-appearance key: the webview is told the save failed and the error is rethrown, with no toast, which is the existing error path plus the result message. The settings view sends every setting on each save and waits for the result, so without that message the Save button would wait forever. The behaviour is defined in the PR description and covered by a test (a failing non-appearance write rejects, the appearance values are put back, the result is posted, and no toast is shown).
Persistence Integrity: unchanged from my earlier answer. I did not change ContextProxy (it would change how every setting is cached). A rollback that fails is logged, and the toast says some settings may be left partly changed.
Regression Evidence: the consumer browser test now also asserts the CodeBlock size, and takes a screenshot per theme for the default state (before applying, and again after removing the values) and the configured state. The 8 baselines come from CI, and the Visual Regression workflow was green. ChatRow is not in the fixture: it needs a lot of context to render, and it uses the same spacing class as the queued messages that are covered.
Line 63 of AppearanceConsumers.visual.tsx asserts the computed font-size of the code block. This is a behavioral assertion. The project rule keeps those in Vitest. The ordinary pnpm test run excludes *.visual.tsx files, and no Vitest test checks the code block's editor font size. The webview-visual job still runs this assertion on pull requests, so a regression is caught there, not by the ordinary suite.
As per coding guidelines, keep behavioral assertions in Vitest. A *.visual.tsx test should establish a deterministic state and make a focused screenshot assertion.

## Visual Tests (Playwright Story Gallery)
### When a UI change needs a snapshot
If your PR changes anything a user would notice at a glance — layout, spacing, theme tokens, brand elements, gradients, mask/blur effects, hover/empty/error states — **add a `*.visual.tsx` snapshot to the same PR**. Do not attach screenshots to the PR description as evidence; commit the baseline instead so future PRs get regression coverage automatically.
Cover a loop side effect in the mixed-invalid test.
The test asserts that no setValue call runs and that DCG is not installed. Its payload has no key whose branch in the settings loop runs a side effect. The handler comment says an invalid value means no side effect runs, and this test does not check that for the loop. Adding a language key covers the changeLanguage side effect. The i18n mock must also export changeLanguage, or the handler fails when it reads the missing export.
Suggested fix

Re the Out of Scope finding on the save acknowledgement (1969f4a).
Confined as suggested. SettingsView now sends a request id, disables Save while it waits, and clears the unsaved flag only on success for a save that changes an appearance value (the stored values of the four are compared with the edited ones, so a reset counts too). Every other save behaves exactly as before: no request id, nothing to wait for, the flag is cleared at once. On the host, the result message is only posted for a request that has an id, so a failed non-appearance write on a save without one keeps the existing error path (rethrown, no result). The unrelated SettingsView tests I had changed to saveAndConfirm are back to how they were; only the appearance tests use it. New tests cover a save without an appearance edit (no id, Save idle straight away, a later result ignored), an appearance edit mixed with other edits, and a reset. The condition is checked by two mutations (always acknowledge fails 2, never acknowledge fails 6).
The other half of the finding (the non-appearance error path) is as in my earlier answer: the result is posted only when the save asked for one, which now means only for saves with an appearance edit.
Persistence Integrity: unchanged answer. I am not changing ContextProxy's cache timing in this PR; that report also assessed an older commit.

- Settings View Pattern: When working on `SettingsView`, inputs must bind to the local `cachedState`, NOT the live `useExtensionState()`. The `cachedState` acts as a buffer for user edits, isolating them from the `ContextProxy` source-of-truth until the user explicitly clicks "Save". Wiring inputs directly to the live state causes race conditions.

Re the findings on 1969f4a (Persistence Integrity, Regression Evidence, Lifecycle Resource Cleanup) — now fixed in the latest push.
Persistence Integrity (forward write order): valid. The chain tracked who may roll a key back, but did not order the writes themselves, so a slower durable write of an older save could land after a newer one. Writes of one appearance value now go through a per-key queue, for every save and every rollback and across providers. A write is only started once the one before it has reached durable storage (setValue is awaited to globalState.update), and a write that fails does not hold up the next. Writes of different keys do not wait for each other. The tests use a store whose writes reach storage later than they start, which the earlier in-memory mock could not show: the second save's write does not start until the first has reached storage, different keys are independent, a failure lets the next write through, and a rollback's write is queued behind the writes before it. Removing the queue fails 8 tests, and leaving the rollback write unqueued fails 1. I did not change ContextProxy's cache timing: the queue gives the ordering without touching how every setting is cached. A failed rollback is logged, and the user is told some settings may be left partly changed.
Lifecycle Resource Cleanup: valid. A finished write is now taken out of its chain (the writes on either side are joined) and out of the map when it is the latest, on success and on rollback, so nothing is reachable once the saves are over. Tests check that nothing is kept after a successful save, a rolled-back save, overlapping saves ending either way, and three overlapping failures. Keeping finished writes fails 3 of them.
Regression Evidence: added ClineProvider.spec.ts coverage for the four keys: unset in both states, a stored value for each, all four together, a reset (null) kept and not replaced by a default, and saving and resetting through updateSettings with the state message that reaches the webview. Dropping a key from the provider's mapping fails 5.
Re the request id comment in SettingsView: valid. A reload reset the module counter, so a save after a reload could reuse the id of an unanswered save from before it. Ids now come from saveRequestId.ts: settings-save-<loadId>-<n>, where loadId (time + random) differs on every load. Tests: ids never repeat within a load, and two loads that both issue their first save get different ids. Removing the load part fails the reload test.

Stop unedited appearance values from overwriting newer saved values.
Each settings panel keeps its own cachedState. That cache changes only when currentApiConfigName or mode changes, or when settings are imported. Another panel's save does not refresh it. handleSubmit always sends interfaceFontScale: interfaceFontScale ?? null from that cache, whether or not the user edited the field. If the stale panel later saves an unrelated field, it sends the old value and the host stores it. A state broadcast is not needed for this overwrite.
Track which appearance keys the user edited. Send only those keys in updatedSettings, and leave untouched appearance keys out of the payload. Do not use the cachedState-versus-extensionState comparison to decide what changed. A newer value saved by another panel looks like an edit to that comparison. Refreshing unedited keys from extensionState on a state update is not enough, because a save can occur before that update arrives.

Learning: Persistence integrity: Fail only when a concrete changed persistence path can lose or corrupt state because an operation is not awaited, a write is non-atomic, rollback or explicit partial-failure behavior is missing, or a persisted default is not propagated to a consumer. Cite the changed path and a plausible triggering scenario; pass when no such changed path exists.
Re the stale-predecessor finding (rollback restoring Q's value over P's): valid. previous was read when a save registered, which can be before the write ahead of it in the queue has reached storage. It is now read inside the per-key queue, when the write actually starts, unless a rolled-back write handed its own previous over (then that value stands). Test: Q is writing, P waits behind it, A registers, A fails on a later key: A's restore puts back P's value. The earlier mutation (always using the registration-time value) makes it fail.

Restore the predecessor's value when the successor fails before its write.
When a save fails after an earlier pending save, undoSettingWrite hands the earlier value to the next write. If that next interfaceFontScale write rejects before it stores anything, no step restores the earlier value, so the failed save's value stays stored. Add a test for this order that asserts the original stored value.

## Test Placement Guidance
- For a guard or validator, test the accept path and the reject path through every public entry point. A test that only rejects bad input does not prove the guard still accepts good input.
The appearance tests clear document-wide variables in afterEach and assert only while the provider is mounted. Add an unmount assertion so stale CSS variables or zoo-editor-font-set cannot survive without detection.

The "Persistence Integrity" check reported that the four appearance values are saved in a loop that can stop half way. A failed write left some values stored and the rest not, and the webview could not tell. The changes below fix that, and nothing else about how settings are applied. The API configuration, telemetry, and debug messages are sent immediately, exactly as before, and every side effect of a setting runs in the same place as before.
webviewMessageHandler.ts,updateSettings: the four appearance values (interfaceFontScale,terminalFontSize,editorFontSize,spacingScale) are saved all-or-nothing. Each is recorded, with the value it had, right before it is written. If a write fails, the ones this save already stored are put back in reverse order, and so is the one whose own write failed, in case it changed the stored value before failing. The store is shared by the sidebar and the editor tab, so saves can overlap. The writes to one key form a chain. A write is put back only while it is the latest one and the stored value is still what it wrote, so a newer save's value, and a change made outside a save (an import), are kept. A write that fails while a newer one is pending is taken out of the chain, so if the newer one fails too, it restores what was stored before either of them, in whichever order they fail. Writes of one appearance value run one at a time, from every save and every rollback and across providers, and each stays in line until it has reached durable storage, so a slower write cannot complete after a newer one and overwrite it. A write that fails does not hold up the ones behind it. Writes that have finished are taken out of the chain, so nothing is kept about them once the saves are over. The result is posted assettingsSaveResult(success or the error), also when the state refresh fails, and the refresh runs after the values were put back.nullfor a reset), before any side effect runs or any setting is stored. An invalid value changes nothing, not even the valid settings sent with it. The save fails with an error and the webview is told. The webview is not trusted: the stepper's limits do not bind a message that was written by hand. Other settings are not checked, as before.SettingsView.tsx: only a save that changes an appearance value waits for the host's answer. For that save, Save is disabled while it is pending, and the "unsaved changes" flag clears only when the host reports success, so a failed save keeps the edits and can be retried. An edit made while it is pending keeps the flag. Request ids (saveRequestId.ts) combine a per-load id with a counter, so an answer from an earlier mount or before a reload cannot match a later save. Every other save behaves exactly as before: no request id, nothing to wait for, and the flag is cleared at once. The existingSettingsViewtests for those saves are unchanged.packages/types: thesettingsSaveResultmessage type.common.json(18 locales):errors.settings_save_failed, shown when a save is rolled back.Test Procedure
