fix(web): file panel no longer serves stale files after agent edits

[flamboh]

This PR closes

#5779
#5866

What Changed

• open files and tree in the file panel no longer stay stale after an agent makes an edit in the background
• uses the turn checkpoint changed file list to refresh only the files edited by an agent

Why

• i was working on changes where I was going back and forth with the agent to refine some docs, the stale files made this incredibly tedious
• This change reuses the turn checkpoint edit list to minimize computation.
  • This does lead to a larger diff, coordinating the state, but it's worth it to keep performance strong.
• One caveat: Edits made outside of t3 code are stale UNTIL the next turn completes. Fixing this would require heavier watcher or polling architecture. Not worth it for a rarer case that's solved by the refresh button IMO.

Note

Fix stale files in FilePreviewPanel by auto-refreshing on checkpoint changes

• Adds checkpoint refresh utilities in checkpointFileRefresh.ts: a useCheckpointQueryRefresh hook, scope reconciliation cache, snapshot memoization, and checkpointFilesIncludePath matcher for repo-relative suffix matching
• Wires FilePreviewPanel.tsx to refresh the project entries list (when explorer is visible) and the selected file query (when a non-image file is open) whenever new relevant checkpoints are observed for the current thread/environment/cwd
• Adds a full test suite in checkpointFileRefresh.test.ts covering refresh decisions, reconciliation, snapshot building, and path matching
• Risk: refresh logic depends on useCheckpointsSnapshot returning a non-null snapshot; if checkpoint data is delayed or empty, file queries may not refresh until a subsequent checkpoint arrives

^{Macroscope summarized 45d284f.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • File previews and project entries now refresh automatically when relevant checkpoint changes occur.
  • Refreshes are scoped to the active environment, thread, working directory, and file path.
  • Improved handling of reverted, interrupted, failed, and unchanged checkpoints.
  • Prevented unnecessary refreshes and preserved correct file explorer visibility.

• Tests

  • Added comprehensive coverage for checkpoint updates, file-path matching, refresh boundaries, and unchanged files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

FilePreviewPanel now refreshes scoped project-entry and selected-file queries from checkpoint snapshots. The change adds snapshot construction, path matching, refresh evaluation, thread-scoped state, and tests for checkpoint history changes.

Changes

Checkpoint Refresh Flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Checkpoint snapshots and refresh evaluation apps/web/src/components/files/checkpointFileRefresh.ts, apps/web/src/components/files/checkpointFileRefresh.test.ts	The module builds checkpoint snapshots, matches file paths, and evaluates refresh actions for new, relevant, reverted, interrupted, and failed checkpoints.
Thread-scoped snapshot state apps/web/src/components/files/checkpointFileRefresh.ts	Thread-keyed atoms retain snapshots for five minutes and reuse unchanged snapshot values.
Scoped query refresh integration apps/web/src/components/files/FilePreviewPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/files/checkpointFileRefresh.ts	The refresh hook tracks scope markers and refreshes project entries or selected non-image file queries when relevant checkpoint changes occur. The panel reuses the shared explorer visibility condition.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 9ad70

A background agent edit can still leave an open file showing stale contents when the edit arrives during the initial load, and disabled image scopes may trigger unnecessary file reads. The stale-data race should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The PR adds a checkpoint-driven reconciliation state machine that changes when cached file and explorer RPC queries refetch, including handling for reverts and in-flight reads. The scope is focused, but the new cross-cutting runtime behavior and edge-case state handling warrant human review.

🤖 GPT-5.6 Sol responding on behalf of Theo

Please fix these issues before merge.

1. A checkpoint that arrives during the first file read can be marked reconciled before that read finishes. The read can then settle with stale data and never refresh. Do not advance the marker until the initial read settles and the new checkpoint has been refreshed. Add a regression test for that sequence.

2. useCheckpointQueryRefresh subscribes to queryAtom before it checks whether scopeKey is null. Image previews and other disabled scopes can still issue file reads. Use an inert atom or avoid mounting the subscription for disabled scopes, and add a request-spy test.

3. reconciledScopes is a module-level map with no eviction. Bound it or remove scope entries when they are no longer needed.

Scoped query refresh integration apps/web/src/components/files/FilePreviewPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/files/checkpointFileRefresh.ts	The refresh hook tracks scope markers and refreshes project entries or selected non-image file queries when relevant checkpoint changes occur. The panel reuses the shared explorer visibility condition.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 9ad70

A background agent edit can still leave an open file showing stale contents when the edit arrives during the initial load, and disabled image scopes may trigger unnecessary file reads. The stale-data race should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The PR adds a checkpoint-driven reconciliation state machine that changes when cached file and explorer RPC queries refetch, including handling for reverts and in-flight reads. The scope is focused, but the new cross-cutting runtime behavior and edge-case state handling warrant human review.

🤖 GPT-5.6 Sol responding on behalf of Theo

Please fix these issues before merge.

1. A checkpoint that arrives during the first file read can be marked reconciled before that read finishes. The read can then settle with stale data and never refresh. Do not advance the marker until the initial read settles and the new checkpoint has been refreshed. Add a regression test for that sequence.

2. useCheckpointQueryRefresh subscribes to queryAtom before it checks whether scopeKey is null. Image previews and other disabled scopes can still issue file reads. Use an inert atom or avoid mounting the subscription for disabled scopes, and add a request-spy test.

3. reconciledScopes is a module-level map with no eviction. Bound it or remove scope entries when they are no longer needed.

What Changed

• open files and tree in the file panel no longer stay stale after an agent makes an edit in the background
• uses the turn checkpoint changed file list to refresh only the files edited by an agent

Why

• i was working on changes where I was going back and forth with the agent to refine some docs, the stale files made this incredibly tedious
• This change reuses the turn checkpoint edit list to minimize computation.
  • This does lead to a larger diff, coordinating the state, but it's worth it to keep performance strong.
• One caveat: Edits made outside of t3 code are stale UNTIL the next turn completes. Fixing this would require heavier watcher or polling architecture. Not worth it for a rarer case that's solved by the refresh button IMO.

Note

Fix stale files in FilePreviewPanel by auto-refreshing on checkpoint changes

• Adds checkpoint refresh utilities in checkpointFileRefresh.ts: a useCheckpointQueryRefresh hook, scope reconciliation cache, snapshot memoization, and checkpointFilesIncludePath matcher for repo-relative suffix matching
• Wires FilePreviewPanel.tsx to refresh the project entries list (when explorer is visible) and the selected file query (when a non-image file is open) whenever new relevant checkpoints are observed for the current thread/environment/cwd
• Adds a full test suite in checkpointFileRefresh.test.ts covering refresh decisions, reconciliation, snapshot building, and path matching
• Risk: refresh logic depends on useCheckpointsSnapshot returning a non-null snapshot; if checkpoint data is delayed or empty, file queries may not refresh until a subsequent checkpoint arrives

^{Macroscope summarized 45d284f.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • File previews and project entries now refresh automatically when relevant checkpoint changes occur.
  • Refreshes are scoped to the active environment, thread, working directory, and file path.
  • Improved handling of reverted, interrupted, failed, and unchanged checkpoints.
  • Prevented unnecessary refreshes and preserved correct file explorer visibility.

• Tests

  • Added comprehensive coverage for checkpoint updates, file-path matching, refresh boundaries, and unchanged files.

Please fix these issues before merge.

1. A checkpoint that arrives during the first file read can be marked reconciled before that read finishes. The read can then settle with stale data and never refresh. Do not advance the marker until the initial read settles and the new checkpoint has been refreshed. Add a regression test for that sequence.

2. useCheckpointQueryRefresh subscribes to queryAtom before it checks whether scopeKey is null. Image previews and other disabled scopes can still issue file reads. Use an inert atom or avoid mounting the subscription for disabled scopes, and add a request-spy test.

3. reconciledScopes is a module-level map with no eviction. Bound it or remove scope entries when they are no longer needed.

What Changed

• open files and tree in the file panel no longer stay stale after an agent makes an edit in the background
• uses the turn checkpoint changed file list to refresh only the files edited by an agent

Why

• i was working on changes where I was going back and forth with the agent to refine some docs, the stale files made this incredibly tedious
• This change reuses the turn checkpoint edit list to minimize computation.
  • This does lead to a larger diff, coordinating the state, but it's worth it to keep performance strong.
• One caveat: Edits made outside of t3 code are stale UNTIL the next turn completes. Fixing this would require heavier watcher or polling architecture. Not worth it for a rarer case that's solved by the refresh button IMO.

Note

Fix stale files in FilePreviewPanel by auto-refreshing on checkpoint changes

• Adds checkpoint refresh utilities in checkpointFileRefresh.ts: a useCheckpointQueryRefresh hook, scope reconciliation cache, snapshot memoization, and checkpointFilesIncludePath matcher for repo-relative suffix matching
• Wires FilePreviewPanel.tsx to refresh the project entries list (when explorer is visible) and the selected file query (when a non-image file is open) whenever new relevant checkpoints are observed for the current thread/environment/cwd
• Adds a full test suite in checkpointFileRefresh.test.ts covering refresh decisions, reconciliation, snapshot building, and path matching
• Risk: refresh logic depends on useCheckpointsSnapshot returning a non-null snapshot; if checkpoint data is delayed or empty, file queries may not refresh until a subsequent checkpoint arrives

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • File previews and project entries now refresh automatically when relevant checkpoint changes occur.
  • Refreshes are scoped to the active environment, thread, working directory, and file path.
  • Improved handling of reverted, interrupted, failed, and unchanged checkpoints.
  • Prevented unnecessary refreshes and preserved correct file explorer visibility.

• Tests

  • Added comprehensive coverage for checkpoint updates, file-path matching, refresh boundaries, and unchanged files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

FilePreviewPanel now refreshes scoped project-entry and selected-file queries from checkpoint snapshots. The change adds snapshot construction, path matching, refresh evaluation, thread-scoped state, and tests for checkpoint history changes.

Changes

Checkpoint Refresh Flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Checkpoint snapshots and refresh evaluation apps/web/src/components/files/checkpointFileRefresh.ts, apps/web/src/components/files/checkpointFileRefresh.test.ts	The module builds checkpoint snapshots, matches file paths, and evaluates refresh actions for new, relevant, reverted, interrupted, and failed checkpoints.
Thread-scoped snapshot state apps/web/src/components/files/checkpointFileRefresh.ts	Thread-keyed atoms retain snapshots for five minutes and reuse unchanged snapshot values.
Scoped query refresh integration apps/web/src/components/files/FilePreviewPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/files/checkpointFileRefresh.ts	The refresh hook tracks scope markers and refreshes project entries or selected non-image file queries when relevant checkpoint changes occur. The panel reuses the shared explorer visibility condition.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 9ad70

A background agent edit can still leave an open file showing stale contents when the edit arrives during the initial load, and disabled image scopes may trigger unnecessary file reads. The stale-data race should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The PR adds a checkpoint-driven reconciliation state machine that changes when cached file and explorer RPC queries refetch, including handling for reverts and in-flight reads. The scope is focused, but the new cross-cutting runtime behavior and edge-case state handling warrant human review.
