Related GitHub Issue

Related (upstream): Zoo-Code-Org#1789

Fork pre-flight PR validating the user-bubble / unlabeled-turn portion of the upstream issue above. Once the issue is assigned upstream, this change will be submitted as a linked PR (Closes #1789).

Description

Reworks the user message bubble in ChatRow to recover vertical space in the constrained chat panel.

Repeated "You said" / "Zoo said" headers occupy a separate line plus surrounding spacing for each message, reducing how much actual content fits on screen. Removing these redundant header rows makes more of the conversation visible at once and reduces the need to scroll, while alignment, bubble width, and background color distinguish user and assistant turns.

  • user_feedback: rendered as a right-aligned w-fit bubble (max-w-[70%], ml-auto, items-end) with no header label; edit/delete buttons move below the bubble; uses soft list-hoverBackground/text-foreground when not editing and keeps editor-background/foreground while editing.
  • user_feedback_diff: diff bubble aligned to the right (max-w-[70%] ml-auto).
  • text: drops the "You said" / "Zoo said" header label and distinguishes turns by alignment, width, and background color; the markdown preview button is absolutely positioned in the top-right corner.
  • Removes now-unused User and MessageCircle icon imports.

Reviewers should note that turn identification now relies on visual alignment/background rather than an explicit role label.

Test Procedure

  • Unit tests: cd webview-ui && npx vitest run src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatRow.user-feedback-bubble.spec.tsx
  • Visual snapshot: run the visual-regression suite and confirm the committed chat-row-* snapshots match.
  • Manual: send a message and an edited message; confirm the right-aligned bubble, correct non-edit/edit background colors, and button placement below the bubble.

Pre-Submission Checklist

Visual Snapshots

Added webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatRow.visual.tsx (with ChatRow.visual.fixture.tsx) and committed baselines:
chat-row-user-actions-dark.png, chat-row-user-actions-light.png, chat-row-assistant-preview-dark.png, chat-row-assistant-preview-light.png.

Videos (interaction / animation only)

N/A — the change is a static layout/contrast adjustment covered by the committed snapshots.

Documentation Updates

  • No documentation updates are required.

Additional Notes

Covers the user-bubble / unlabeled-turn portion of the upstream issue. Turn identification now relies on alignment and background rather than a per-message role label.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chat Interface
    • Assistant text messages now appear without a speech-bubble header, with the markdown preview control placed over the message content.
    • User feedback messages are right-aligned and limited in width for clearer separation from assistant replies. Edit and delete controls appear below the message and are hidden while editing.
    • Expanded user edits and feedback diffs follow the same alignment and width constraints.

Walkthrough

Chat rows now use updated assistant and user-feedback layouts. Unit tests cover these presentation states. A conversation fixture and gallery story support dark- and light-theme visual tests.

Changes

Chat row presentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update chat row presentation
webview-ui/src/components/chat/ChatRow.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatRow.user-feedback-bubble.spec.tsx
Assistant text no longer has a role header, and its markdown preview button overlays the text. User feedback is right-aligned and limited to 70% width, with edit and delete controls below the content. Tests cover alignment, colors, editing, streaming, and preview behavior.
Add conversation visual coverage
webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatRow.visual.fixture.tsx, webview-ui/playwright/gallery/stories.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatRow.visual.tsx
Adds a three-message conversation fixture and gallery story. Playwright tests check dark and light themes and capture screenshots with user actions and the assistant preview visible on hover.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0d869

The layout change is likely mergeable with owner awareness, but the new tests should exercise Edit and Delete so a broken action is caught. The controls also still need keyboard-accessible markup.

Thanks for contributing. This comment tracks the review sequence and the next action.

Current step: Awaiting fresh human maintainer or CODEOWNER approval.

Automated review is complete for the latest commit but does not replace human approval.

Review-state labels are managed by this workflow; do not edit them manually. community-approved is managed the same way — do not add or remove it manually. It signals a fresh community code approval for the current head as an advisory priority only; maintainer review is still required.

Replace the class-name based lookup of the action bar.

The tests find the action bar by matching flex, gap-2, and pr-1 in className. The match breaks on any harmless styling change. It can also match a different div. Add a stable hook, such as data-testid, in ChatRow.tsx. Use that hook in both tests.

Wrap the user_feedback_diff declaration in a block.

Biome reports lint/correctness/noSwitchDeclarations for const tool at Line 1296. Other switch clauses can access this declaration. Wrap the case body in braces.

The const line is not a changed line, but the changed return sits in the same clause. Use this fix:

-				case "user_feedback_diff":
-					const tool = safeJsonParse<ClineSayTool>(message.text)
-					return (
+				case "user_feedback_diff": {
+					const tool = safeJsonParse<ClineSayTool>(message.text)

- Around line 109-139: In the non-streaming placement test, invoke the delete
and edit controls and assert their behavior: verify `mockPostMessage` receives
the delete message for value 1, and verify clicking edit shows the editor
background. Keep the streaming test’s existing assertions that editing remains
disabled while streaming.

- Around line 1272-1291: Update the edit and delete action wrappers in the
ChatRow component from div elements to button elements with type="button",
retaining their click behavior and preventing message-row click propagation. Add
focus-visible styling so they are revealed when keyboard-focused, and provide
translated accessible labels for both actions.
