fix: follow a theme another tab picks by AdilAzhariOmsan · Pull Request #1524 · dev-null-sh/dev-null.sh

Summary

Picking a theme in Settings → Appearance only changes the tab it was picked in. Every other open tab keeps the old theme until it reloads, and its own Appearance page still shows the old option selected. The rest of the web app already follows other tabs through the storage event: the chat dock (#1424), voice note volume, drafts and recent searches. The theme didn't.

A smaller bug in the same hook: on "system", when the OS switches between light and dark, handleSystemThemeChange re-applies the class but never notifies subscribers. Whatever reads resolvedAppearance keeps the old value. Today that's the logo's right-click "Copy logo as SVG" (logo-menu.tsx), which can copy the light logo while the page is dark.

Changes

In resources/js/hooks/use-appearance.tsx:

initializeTheme() also listens for storage. When the appearance key changes, or another tab clears storage (key === null, which falls back to system), it re-reads the theme, applies it and notifies. It writes nothing, so tabs can't ping-pong. The filter mirrors use-voice-volume.ts.
handleSystemThemeChange now calls notify() too.

The listener is registered after the existing typeof window guard, like the matchMedia one, so nothing new runs during SSR. initializeTheme has a single caller (app.tsx), and both handlers are stable module-level functions. The cookie is shared across tabs already, so the receiving tab doesn't rewrite it.

Validation

Local only. CI is not run here.

vp test run tests/Unit/Appearance.test.ts: 4/4 pass. With the base use-appearance.tsx checked out, 4/4 fail.
- follows a theme another tab saves
- falls back to the system theme when another tab wipes local storage
- ignores what other tabs save under other keys
- re-renders the resolved theme when the system one changes
vp test run tests/Unit/VoiceVolume.test.tsx tests/Unit/ChatDockStorage.test.tsx tests/Unit/Appearance.test.ts: 8/8 pass.
vp fmt --check, vp lint on the changed files, and tsc --noEmit: pass.
Note: the four tests share module state and run in order, like VoiceVolume.test.tsx.

There's no visible layout change, so no media. This is cross-tab state and re-render behaviour, which the unit test covers.

Independent review

Reviewed by an independent agent reviewer with no context from writing the change: base 6e71709, head bb1abf8.

CODE: PASS

Confirmed the problem at base: no storage listener, and no notify() on system theme change.
Checked SSR guards, duplicate listener registration, event-theme-select.tsx (it re-saves the same value, which fires no storage event), the appearance cookie, and that no other code writes the appearance key.
Ran the test, format and lint, and confirmed the test fails against the base file.
Visual review: not applicable, since nothing about the layout or styles changes.

Limitations

Not exercised by hand in two real browser tabs. Covered by the unit test with stubbed window, localStorage and matchMedia only.
Like the other storage listeners in the app, a tab only follows changes made in other tabs of the same browser profile, not on other devices.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Appearance now updates when your system theme changes.
- Theme preference changes made in another tab are reflected automatically. If the preference is cleared, the app falls back to your system theme.

Walkthrough

The appearance hook now reapplies the theme and notifies subscribers when the system theme changes or when storage changes in another tab. Unit tests cover these updates, cleared storage, and unrelated storage keys.

Changes: Appearance synchronization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Theme updates and validation `resources/js/hooks/use-appearance.tsx`, `tests/Unit/Appearance.test.ts`	System-theme changes now reapply the current theme and notify subscribers. A storage listener reloads the appearance setting for relevant storage events, then reapplies the theme and notifies subscribers. Tests cover these event cases and the resulting appearance.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix: follow a theme another tab picks" matches the main change. The PR adds a storage-event listener so the hook re-reads and applies the appearance when another tab changes or clears it. The title is short, specific, and uses a conventional fix prefix. The system-theme notification change is a secondary part and does not need to appear in the title.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

`Appearance.test.tsx` and update the `test:unit` script to run it separately
with Vitest after the existing Node test command. Keep the current Node test

Run the appearance test with Vitest.

test:unit selects this .ts file with Node, which does not initialize the Vitest mocker. This can fail the frontend CI job.

Rename the file to Appearance.test.tsx and run it separately with Vitest:

Update the test script

- "test:unit": "php artisan wayfinder:generate --with-form && node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/Unit/*.test.ts" + "test:unit": "php artisan wayfinder:generate --with-form && node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/Unit/*.test.ts && vp test run tests/Unit/Appearance.test.tsx"
