chore: Anchored diff rendering: side-by-side window around a comment's line, selection highlighted by getappz · Pull Request #962 · getappz/agentflare

getappz · 2026-10-24T15:25:17Z

Implementing the DiffDisplay port. Exploring the codebase and baz-cli reference.

Status

Done: Ported baz DiffDisplay into src/review/diff_display.rs (±3 view_window, hunk clipping, left/right AnchorSide / diffSide, plain + ANSI renderers with paired fg/bg, ansi_backgrounds_have_foreground guard). Wired DiffSide on ReviewThread, render_markdown_with_diff in review.rs, pr_diff_context_plain in dashboard/data.rs, and pr_approval_card_text optional diff block in notify.rs. Second commit: rustfmt on review_bots_tests.rs.

Tests: cargo test -p agentflare review::diff_display — 7 passed. cargo fmt --check — pass.

Concerns:

notify_pr_approval_gate still passes None for diff context (HTML hook exists; no PR patch fetch yet).
Dashboard exposes pr_diff_context_plain only; server/UI not calling it.
render_markdown_with_diff always uses AnchorSide::Right (no diffSide on ConsensusItem).
cargo clippy -p agentflare --lib -D warnings fails in agentflare-agent-registry (pre-existing; unrelated to this diff).The diff_display unit tests finished successfully: all 7 passed.

On branch task/388-anchored-diff-rendering-side-by-side-win you have anchored side-by-side diff rendering in src/review/diff_display.rs, integration hooks in review/notify/dashboard, and a small rustfmt commit so cargo fmt --check passes. Telegram approval cards still don’t load live diff text (notify_pr_approval_gate passes None for context)—that’s the main gap if you want full end-to-end approval UX.

Opened by cursor on i-flare-51bb8de6c33b (flared:51bb8de6c33b) for item #388 via agentflare.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Review summaries can include nearby pull-request diff excerpts alongside findings, with relevant lines highlighted on the correct side of the change.
- Interactive reviews display highlighted diff context; non-interactive Markdown output includes plain-text excerpts. JSON output remains unchanged.
- Pull-request approval cards can show a diff excerpt when context is available.
- The dashboard provides an endpoint for retrieving plain-text diff context for a file and line. Missing or unavailable context is indicated in the response.

Port baz DiffDisplay windowing and ANSI pairing so humans see the changed hunk at gates and in consensus output. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> Agentflare-Agent: cursor Agentflare-Branch: task/388-anchored-diff-rendering-side-by-side-win Agentflare-Item: 388

Walkthrough

The changes add side-aware diff rendering and make diff context available in consensus output, a dashboard endpoint, and PR approval cards. Review threads now include the diff side reported by GitHub.

Changes: Diff context rendering and delivery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Anchored diff rendering `src/review/diff_display.rs`	Adds patch conversion, side-aware anchors, hunk-clipped excerpts, plain-text and ANSI rendering, and tests for rendering and parsing.
Review and dashboard diff context `src/review.rs`, `src/cli/review.rs`, `src/dashboard/data.rs`, `src/dashboard/pr_diff.rs`, `src/dashboard/mod.rs`, `src/dashboard/server.rs`, `src/github/pulls.rs`	Consensus output includes diff context in terminal and non-terminal modes; JSON output is unchanged. Adds a dashboard endpoint for plain-text context selected by path, line, and optional side.
Approval-card diff context `src/supervisor/notify.rs`	Approval cards add an escaped “Changes” section when optional diff context is nonempty. The gate fetches the first change summary; failures produce no excerpt.

Review-thread diff side

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Thread side query and parsing `src/github/review_threads.rs`, `src/supervisor/tests/review_bots_tests.rs`	Adds `DiffSide` to review threads, requests `diffSide`, and parses and tests both sides.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 73f20

The new diff context can slow unrelated dashboard routes during slow GitHub responses, and long changed lines can cause an approval card to fail delivery. The renderer has smaller open edge cases. Address the blocking fetch and the card length bound before merging.

before push_ansi_span writes it, replacing C0 control characters other than tabs
so raw terminal control sequences cannot reach ANSI output. Preserve tabs and
the existing styling behavior.
- Around line 298-306: Use the anchor side’s line number consistently when
calculating the display window: update `line_in_window` to use
`anchor_line_number` for context rows, and update `clip_window_to_chunk` so its
hunk bounds do not also fold in `new_line` when the anchor is on the left.
Preserve right-side numbering for right-side anchors.
- Line 40: Update the end calculation in view_window to use saturating addition
for anchor.line_end and MAX_ADDED_VIEW_LINES, preventing overflow while
preserving the intended window boundary.

first_change_summary renders complete source lines, and pr_approval_card_text inserts that output without a length limit. card_body does not truncate or split it. The card path bypasses the separate message splitter. Telegram can reject an oversized sendMessage request, and request_channel_approval only logs the error.

…d the dashboard fetch - view_window saturates at u32::MAX instead of overflowing on agent-supplied lines. - ANSI spans replace C0 control characters (tab preserved) so untrusted patch text cannot emit terminal escape sequences. - clip_window_to_chunk and line_in_window use only the anchor side's numbering; a left anchor no longer mixes old and new numbers when an earlier hunk shifts the new-side numbering. - The dashboard diff-context handler runs the GitHub client and list_files on spawn_blocking instead of the async worker.
