revert(chat): follow measured rows without a competing glide (#2624) - #2647
Reverts #2624 (9ef34f8). An improved version will land again on top of this.
#2624 follows a growing chat row with LegendList's scrollToEnd, which lands one frame after each measurement. Each streamed change is therefore two frames behind: the frame it is appended in, and the next one. On a fast machine that passes. On GitHub-hosted runners the frames are slower, so the next change often lands before the reader has caught up. scripts/chat-virtual-browser-qa.ts:717 ("continuous content left the reader behind for N consecutive animation frames") then failed on every attempt of fork PRs: #2616 twice (4 frames), and #2636 (6 frames). In each of those runs every change lagged exactly 2 frames (140 lag frames for 70 changes).
The same follow also stops following in the script's fold-together step. A row above the view folds as the last row grows. LegendList's own adjustment, followed by a scrollToEnd aimed at an end it computed before the rows moved, nets out as a move up with no shrink seen. ChatView then reads that as the reader leaving. The glide it replaced did not do this.
Reproduced locally with the unmodified script, alternating commits under dori heavy:
The 05c9133 column shows why #2624 was written: the old glide fails the p95 bound that #2624 added. That bound goes away with this revert, together with the rest of #2624's script changes.
Validation
scripts/chat-virtual-browser-qa.ts (as reverted): 1 consecutive passes so far (the run continues to 22; I'll update this line) on 2 cores with 2 CPU hogs and 2x CDP CPU throttle, UI_EVIDENCE_DIR set as CI does, under dori heavy. The fold steps passed in every run.
bun run check fast: success on a5c4e5b8 (same tree as this head; only the commit message changed).
omo code reviewer: APPROVE. The revert is exact: git diff against 9ef34f8~1 is empty for the reverted files. Nothing merged after fix(chat): follow measured rows without a competing glide #2624 depends on it, and the fragment was never released. Its LOW is applied: the commit message no longer claims grow-above.
Skipped: full check, Windows VM.
No changelog fragment: #2624's own fragment was not released yet, and this revert removes it.
This reverts commit 9ef34f8.
#2624's follow (LegendList scrollToEnd) lands a frame after each
measurement. On GitHub-hosted runners, whose frames are slow, the next
streamed change lands before the reader caught up, and
scripts/chat-virtual-browser-qa.ts:717 failed on every attempt of fork PRs
(#2616 twice, #2636). The same follow also stops following when a row
above folds as the last row grows (fold-together), which the glide it
replaced does not. An improved follow will land again on top of this.

- Line 99: When a following reader closes a work block or disclosure, update the
branch that sets manualLayout.current to true to also cancel the pending list
scroll using the existing supported cancellation mechanism for listRef.current,
so the click cannot trigger a later scroll to the end.

Bug Fixes
Chat timelines now glide to the latest content as it changes when smooth following is enabled.
Clicking a control that does not open content no longer interrupts a pending scroll, helping the timeline stay in sync with the latest messages.
ChatTimeline now glides to the end on item-size changes when smoothFollow is enabled. The browser QA test checks for a glide during repeated row growth and removes a dark-theme streaming-gap test.
When smoothFollow is enabled, item-size changes trigger smooth scrolling to the end. Otherwise, scrolling remains immediate. A control that does not open content no longer drops a pending list scroll. The changelog entry describing immediate end-following is removed.
The test repeats row growth until scrolling begins, with a five-second deadline. The wheel and row-fold checks remain. The dark-theme streaming-gap test is removed, and the PASS message is updated.
The glide change has a bounded scrolling regression: closing a disclosure can still be followed by an unwanted jump to the end. Restore cancellation in that branch; otherwise the change presents low merge risk.

Explanation
The description covers the Change section and the Validation section from the template. It states the revert target, the two-frame lag cause with the failing script line, the fold-together regression, the local reproduction table, and the checks run. Skipped checks and the changelog reasoning are also listed. The template asks for an issue link for features, which does not apply to this revert. The validation line for the QA script still reads 1 pass and says the run continues, so that item is still in progress.

Merged on Dori's call: an exact revert of #2624 (9ef34f8; the patch id of this diff equals the reverse of 9ef34f8). #2624's measured-end follow failed scripts/chat-virtual-browser-qa.ts:717 on GitHub-hosted runners every time, blocking #2616, #2636 and #2640; a hardened re-land comes later. omo reviewed it as an exact revert; bun run check fast passed.
CodeRabbit reviewed it; its one Minor (cancel the pending list scroll when the reader closes a control) is the pre-#2624 behaviour and goes to the re-land.
Local proof of the revert, finished after the merge. I ran scripts/chat-virtual-browser-qa.ts as reverted, 22 runs on 2 cores with 2 CPU hogs and 2x CDP CPU throttling, with UI_EVIDENCE_DIR set, under dori heavy.
21 of 22 passed.
In every run that reached the fold steps, they kept following ("a row above folding or growing during the follow glide keeps following").
Line 717's check no longer exists after the revert.
1 run failed at another step, "small steps without input past the allowance stop following" (1440 light), in code from before fix(chat): follow measured rows without a competing glide #2624. Main showed the same failure at 4x throttle. It is tracked with the re-land work.
…and)
#2624 followed a growing chat row with LegendList's scrollToEnd, which lands a
frame or more after the measurement: each streamed change stayed two frames
behind, and on a slow runner the next change came first (#2647 reverted it).
The follow now runs in a microtask queued after the list's own, once per batch
of measurements, and puts the view at the list's measured end (its content
length, not the scroller's height, which the list pads for a frame while it
holds rows in place). A scroll the chat has not heard yet is read first, so a
reader who left the end is not pulled back. The glide, its scrollend settle and
followGlides go: nothing glides any more. While the list pads its content for a
frame (its ScrollAdjust room), neither this follow nor ChatView's short-landing
fix aims at the scroller's end, which lies past the list's there.
#2624's continuous-content check is back, and the QA script takes
CPU_THROTTLE (Chrome CPU throttling) to run it as a slow runner does. It
now also bounds frames painted behind, follows a stream React renders, and
opens a long chat while the agent works, with and without reduced motion.

## Change
Re-lands @odfalik's #2624 (reverted in #2647) in a form that holds on
slow machines.
#2624 replaced the chat's smooth follow glide with LegendList's
`scrollToEnd` whenever a row's measured size changed. That call lands a
frame or more after the measurement, so each streamed change stayed two
frames behind. On GitHub-hosted runners the next change often came
first, and `scripts/chat-virtual-browser-qa.ts` failed there (#2616,
#2636). Its fold-together case also stopped following.
This PR follows a measured row before the frame paints:
- **Same-frame follow.** `ChatTimeline` queues its follow in a microtask
after LegendList's, once per batch of measurements. LegendList sets its
total before it calls `onItemSizeChanged`, and React draws that total in
the microtask it queued then. The follow then puts the view at the end.
- **Where "the end" is.** That is the scroller's end, except while
LegendList pads the content for a frame to hold rows in place (its
`ScrollAdjust` sets an inline `padding-bottom`). During that frame the
scroller's end lies past the list's, and following it is what broke the
earlier same-frame attempt and fold-together. `listEndPadded` detects
it. Outside `anchoredEndSpace`, which the chat doesn't use, that inline
padding is the only one LegendList sets. ChatView's short-landing fix
(`stoppedShort`) skips that frame too.
- **A reader who left is not pulled back.** Before moving the view, the
follow reads any scroll the chat hasn't heard yet, exactly as its scroll
event would, and re-checks that the reader is still following. "Heard"
starts at the position the list attached with. Before that change, the
first follow in a short chat called the chat's scroll handler with no
scroll at all, and at the top that handler loads the earlier page. CI
caught it in `scripts/chat-history-browser-qa.ts`: the Earlier messages
button had already been used.
- **No glide.** The glide, its `scrollend` settle and `followGlides` are
removed, since nothing glides any more. The changelog says so.
- **Kept from the merge pass on #2624.** Closing a disclosure while
following drops a scroll the list already queued.
Like the Codex and Claude apps, the chat holds the end of a streaming
answer without animating to it. I'm describing those apps from use; I
didn't re-measure them for this PR.
### QA script
`scripts/chat-virtual-browser-qa.ts`:
- **`CPU_THROTTLE`.** Takes Chrome CPU throttling (`CPU_THROTTLE=2`) to
run as a slow runner does.
- **Continuous-content check.** #2624's check is back, with two changes:
- **What the reader sees is measured, not the moment after an append.**
#2624 sampled the gap right after each append, before any layout. Every
frame that carries a change counted as behind, whatever was painted. On
a runner slow enough that several frames in a row take a change's 110 ms
each, that run grows with the machine, not the follow. In one 2x run
here, four such frames in a row gave a pre-layout run of 4 while 0
frames were painted behind. That pre-layout run is still logged. Two
checks now look at what is painted:
- **Painted behind:** at most 10% of changes. A ResizeObserver on the
streamed content, created after the list's own, runs in each frame the
row grew: after layout, after the list's measurement and the chat's
follow, before that frame paints. Callbacks run in creation order with a
microtask checkpoint between them
([ResizeObserver](https://drafts.csswg.org/resize-observer/#resize-observer-interface),
[HTML](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#clean-up-after-running-script)).
- **Consecutive frames behind:** `<= 2`, unchanged, read as each next
frame starts.
The lane lead approved this change on the condition that it still fails
on main and on #2624's code at 2x. The controls below show it does.
- **A held-up frame lands every change that came due meanwhile at
once**, as a stream backlog does. Before, the fixed 110 ms grid appended
one overdue change per frame after a stall.
- **Rendered stream.** A new case grows the last answer through the
chat's own conversation reads. React renders each paragraph, and the gap
is read in the frame the row grew, after the list measured it. A
ResizeObserver made after the list's own runs at that point.
- **First open.** The long-chat first-open case now also runs with the
agent working, with and without reduced motion. Main misses the end by
1,117 px in one frame at 1440 while working.
- **Follow cases no longer require a glide in progress.** The old
`during > 1` check is replaced by #2624's "the grown last row was not
followed".
- **Wheel-up cleanup.** Taking the test's blocks out can shrink the
transcript under a reader who went away onto its end. That counts as the
end reached, so the cleanup clicks New messages only while it is still
shown. The case's assertions run before this step and are unchanged.

| 390×844 | 120 px | 96 px | 96 px |
- **Frames painted behind, the same script at 2 cores + 2 CPU hogs +
`CPU_THROTTLE=2`:**

Result |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
| this PR | 0 of 70 | 0 of 70 | 22 / 96 px | pass |

- **Rendered stream.** 0 of 38 changes behind at both widths.
- **Failing-first.** Main with this script fails both unthrottled and on
2 cores at 2x CPU throttle: continuous content, the rendered stream, and
first open while working.
- **Reader escape.** An upward wheel and a touch drag both stop
following while rows stream, at 1440 and 390, every run (probe). On
main, one 390 touch drag didn't escape.
- **#2650, drag selection while streaming.** The selection drifts the
same on main and on this PR (about 550–790 px moved, probe). This PR
doesn't make it worse; that issue stays open.
## Validation
- `bun scripts/chat-virtual-browser-qa.ts`, on 2 cores with 2 CPU hogs
and `CPU_THROTTLE=2` under `dori heavy`, with `UI_EVIDENCE_DIR` set as
CI does: **20 of 20 consecutive passes on this head** (61e231b). Every
run painted 0 of 70 changes behind, at both widths. Before the last fix
(a short chat loading its earlier page by itself), the previous head had
18 of 18.
- `bun scripts/chat-virtual-browser-qa.ts` unthrottled: pass.
- **The other 18 chat browser scripts** (every
`scripts/chat-*-browser-qa.ts` and `chat-*-regression.ts`), on 2 cores
at 2x: 17 pass. `chat-browser-qa.ts` fails the same way on main, with
and without throttling (#2654). CI doesn't run that script.
- `bun run check fast`: pass (10,792 unit tests, typecheck, build).
- Reviews: omo and Codex Terra (gpt-6.1-terra, xhigh) reviewed the
change and each of three rounds of fixes; both approve the final head.
Fixed from review: painted lag unasserted, no React-rendered stream, no
backstop for a long chat opened while working (also under reduced
motion), an unused `during` value, a flaky wheel-up cleanup, and painted
sampling that a follow landing between frames could pass. Left as notes:
- `listEndPadded` reads a LegendList internal (inline padding from
`ScrollAdjust`; `anchoredEndSpace` is unused here).
- Chromium is the only engine checked.
- As on main, an automatic move that reaches the scroll handler near the
top can still ask for the earlier page. This PR no longer makes one
without a move.
- CI on GitHub-hosted runners, dispatched with `workflow_dispatch`
because a same-repo PR runs on self-hosted ones: [run
41627972491](https://github.com/devswha/ovis/actions/runs/41627972491)
on this head passed all 10 jobs (ubuntu-24.04, windows-latest,
macos-15). That includes `chat-virtual-browser-qa.ts` (129.5 s) and
`chat-history-browser-qa.ts` (13.5 s).
- Not run here: the full integration suite, native Windows, and a real
iOS device. No HTTP/WS contract, dependency or stored-format change.
