feat(web): terminal link context menu actions

[flamboh]

What Changed

Right-clicking a terminal path or URL now offers Open, Add to chat, and Copy for the target under the pointer. The highlight stays for as long as the menu is open.

Add to chat inserts paths with the file chip appearance and URLs as plain text.

Why

Right-clicking threw away the detected target and offered only the selection actions and Paste, so you couldn't open or copy the path or link you were pointing at. Putting this in the context menu is a natural addition.

Behavior precedent

Ghostty-based terminals do the same thing: right-click offers actions for the target under the pointer and pins the highlight while the menu is open.

Note

Add terminal link context menu actions for chat, copy, and open

• Right-clicking a link in the terminal now shows a context menu with link-aware actions: add to chat, copy, open in editor (for paths), or open in browser/preview (for URLs)
• terminalLinkChatText resolves paths against cwd and strips position suffixes; terminalLinkCopyText returns clean URLs or paths without position info
• Clicked links/paths are inserted into the chat composer via addTerminalLinkToDraft in ChatView, with a toast on failure
• GhosttyTerminalSurface pins the link highlight while the context menu is open and passes linkText through the onContextMenu callback
• openTerminalLinkInPreview is split into a capability check (canOpenTerminalLinkInPreview) and a direct-open path, with showTerminalLinkOpenMenu presenting the integrated-vs-system browser choice
• Behavioral Change: GhosttyTerminalSurfaceOptions.onContextMenu signature changes from (event) to (event, linkText) returning void | Promise<void>; existing callers must update

One finding: the newly pinned right-click link highlight can be unpinned by a superseded menu flow (browser fallback menu), leaving the open menu with no highlighted target. Details inline.

^{Posted via Macroscope — UI Consistency}

[macroscopeapp]

Reviewed the terminal link changes for UI/interaction consistency. One finding: the new "Add path/link to chat" action silently drops the target when the composer refuses input, unlike the other add-to-chat surface and unlike every other failure path in the terminal context menu. Everything else (menu item shape/labels/icon: "copy", pinned-highlight lifetime, modifier-gated hover matching activation, focused tests) matches existing repo contracts.

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces several new terminal link workflows—editor opening, system or integrated browser navigation, clipboard handling, chat insertion, and persistent link highlighting—across shared terminal and composer code.

One finding: a comment documenting a browser/Electron constraint was dropped from terminalContextMenuItems while the behavior it explains is unchanged.

Add to chat inserts paths with the file chip appearance and URLs as plain text.

Why

Right-clicking threw away the detected target and offered only the selection actions and Paste, so you couldn't open or copy the path or link you were pointing at. Putting this in the context menu is a natural addition.

Behavior precedent

Ghostty-based terminals do the same thing: right-click offers actions for the target under the pointer and pins the highlight while the menu is open.

Note

Add terminal link context menu actions for chat, copy, and open

• Right-clicking a link in the terminal now shows a context menu with link-aware actions: add to chat, copy, open in editor (for paths), or open in browser/preview (for URLs)
• terminalLinkChatText resolves paths against cwd and strips position suffixes; terminalLinkCopyText returns clean URLs or paths without position info
• Clicked links/paths are inserted into the chat composer via addTerminalLinkToDraft in ChatView, with a toast on failure
• GhosttyTerminalSurface pins the link highlight while the context menu is open and passes linkText through the onContextMenu callback
• openTerminalLinkInPreview is split into a capability check (canOpenTerminalLinkInPreview) and a direct-open path, with showTerminalLinkOpenMenu presenting the integrated-vs-system browser choice
• Behavioral Change: GhosttyTerminalSurfaceOptions.onContextMenu signature changes from (event) to (event, linkText) returning void | Promise<void>; existing callers must update

One finding: the newly pinned right-click link highlight can be unpinned by a superseded menu flow (browser fallback menu), leaving the open menu with no highlighted target. Details inline.

^{Posted via Macroscope — UI Consistency}

[macroscopeapp]

Reviewed the terminal link changes for UI/interaction consistency. One finding: the new "Add path/link to chat" action silently drops the target when the composer refuses input, unlike the other add-to-chat surface and unlike every other failure path in the terminal context menu. Everything else (menu item shape/labels/icon: "copy", pinned-highlight lifetime, modifier-gated hover matching activation, focused tests) matches existing repo contracts.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces several new terminal link workflows—editor opening, system or integrated browser navigation, clipboard handling, chat insertion, and persistent link highlighting—across shared terminal and composer code. The cross-component interactive behavior and external side effects are broader than a minor self-contained UI change.

^{You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.}

[macroscopeapp]

One finding: a comment documenting a browser/Electron constraint was dropped from terminalContextMenuItems while the behavior it explains is unchanged. Everything else in the diff looks consistent — the new menu entries reuse the shared ContextMenuItem contract (labels and the copy icon match pullRequestLinkContextMenu / ChatMarkdown's file-link menu), the new "Unable to add to chat" toast matches the sibling flow in FileBrowserPanel, and the pinned link highlight is re-projected through screen coordinates so scrolling and superseded menus don't strand it.

Right-clicking a terminal path or URL now offers Open, Add to chat, and Copy for the target under the pointer. The highlight stays for as long as the menu is open.
