Problem

With the rich text composer on, a pasted URL like https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/22426 shows as plain white text. The same URL in the sent message is blue with the site's icon in front, so the draft and the message look different.

Change

The rich text composer now decorates bare http(s) URLs: blue text (--info-foreground, same as chat links) and the site icon before it. GitHub gets its brand icon, other sites their favicon, and a globe if that fails.

  • composerLinkDecorations.ts uses Tiptap's addDecorations and ReactWidgetRenderer. It's decoration-only, so the document, the serialized prompt, undo, and copy/paste don't change.
  • The icon reuses the chat's MarkdownLinkFavicon, moved unchanged from ChatMarkdown.tsx into chat/MarkdownLinkFavicon.tsx.
  • findComposerLinks follows GFM's autolink rules, which the sent message uses: the URL can't follow a letter, trailing punctuation and unbalanced ) are dropped, and the trim takes linear time.
  • Inline code and code blocks are skipped. So is the plain-text composer.
  • Widget keys are host:occurrence, not positions, so typing before a link doesn't remount its icon.

Out of scope: clicking a link in the composer still places the caret and doesn't open the link. This is web and desktop only. Mobile has its own composer and isn't changed.

Scope and approval

This is a small visual change with no new setting, contract, or server change. It wasn't discussed in Ideas first. I'm happy to open a discussion if you'd rather review the direction there.

Verification

  • vp test run apps/web/src/composer-links.test.ts: 5/5 pass. Covers GFM boundary and trim cases, plus 200k trailing ) trimmed in linear time.
  • vp test run --project browser src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.input.browser.test.tsx: 20/20 pass. A new case checks that rich text styles the URL and adds its icon, and that plain text and inline code don't.
  • Targeted lint and typecheck on the changed files are clean.
  • Screenshots were rendered in Chromium through the browser test harness, not a full app build.
Before (main) After (this branch)

Link icon color (b4d7934)

Brand and globe icons in the composer kept the text color while the URL was blue. In sent messages the icon sits inside the link, so it inherits --info-foreground. The composer widget now gets a composer-link-icon class that shares the .composer-link color rule. Fetched favicon images are unaffected. Captured in the real web app (vp run dev) with a github.com URL (brand icon) and an unresolvable host (globe fallback).

merged current main into the existing head without rewriting history. resolved the import conflict while preserving main's link wrapping and this feature's shared favicon component. the feature remains eight files, +239/-48 against the merged base. two independent source reviewers approved a6c46a0ca7f76946683cb7d3135d5b7ffc496a57; the original bot finding remains fixed and resolved.

vp run check:changed passed on blacksmith: format, lint, both knip checks, affected typechecks, 25 tests across four files, and five react compiler checks. no failing checks existed on the previous head, so there were no failed ci logs to inspect.

verified in the real app using playwright and system chrome: url boundaries including entity suffixes, editing before links, undo, caret click without navigation, and rich text off/on preserving the draft. inspected light at 1440px and dark at 1200px. uploaded recording playback and seeking passed in chrome. this pass changes no feature behavior beyond merging main. native desktop/mobile and a new provider submission were not exercised this pass.

composer after merging main, with styled urls and entity suffix excluded

rich text setting removes and restores url decorations in the real app

final ci: all 29 git.cafe check contexts passed; github CI completed successfully on a6c46a0ca7 and reports the head mergeable. no unresolved review threads. github's external mp4 image embed is unavailable; direct uploaded video playback and seeking were verified in chrome. no dev processes retained.

Bare http(s) URLs in the rich text composer now render blue with the
site's icon in front, matching how the sent message shows them.

Explanation

The title follows conventional commit format and names the main change: bare URLs in the rich text composer now render as links. It matches the changeset, which decorates composer URLs with blue link text and a site icon. The title is specific and concise.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and follows the template closely. Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections are all present and substantive. The Problem section gives a reproduction (a pasted GitHub PR URL renders as plain text in the rich-text composer) and the expected behavior (blue text plus site icon, matching the sent message). The Change section explains the decoration-only approach and the reused MarkdownLinkFavicon component. The Scope and approval section does not link a triaged issue or maintainer approval. It states the change is small and does not qualify as a new setting, and it offers a discussion. Under the template, that falls short of an explicit approval reference. The Verification section lists concrete test commands with pass counts, lint and typecheck status, and before/after screenshots. The author also added a follow-up takeover note and a second set of screenshots for the icon color change. The description also states the model used, as the template asks for agent work. Its main gap is the missing approval link or a clearer justification for skipping prior triage.

Resolution

Add a link to the triaged bug issue or to the Ideas discussion that records explicit maintainer approval of this direction and scope, including the approval comment. If no prior approval exists, explain why this qualifies as a very small, focused fix of an obvious bug, which the template allows without a prior issue. The current text says the change was not discussed in Ideas first and offers to open a discussion, which does not satisfy the approval requirement.

thanks @Yuruzuu. i kept your decoration-only implementation and shared chat favicons intact. i merged current main (dd5b5401e1f2) without rewriting your commits; the eight-file feature diff remains focused and needed no extra implementation.

verification passed: vp run check:changed on blacksmith, covering format, lint, knip, web typecheck and 23 tests in three files. in the real app with system chrome i checked paste, editing before a link, undo, exact markdown copy, caret clicks, inline code, and settings rich-text off/on at 1440px and 1200px in light/dark. a real client submission preserved the url and the codex provider returned OK. two independent source reviews found no blockers.

unverified: native electron shell and mobile. mobile's separate composer is outside this change. known visual detail: brand/globe icons retain composer text color while url text uses link color.

before, current main:

main composer shows plain urls

after:

rich composer shows blue urls and site icons while inline code stays plain

editing and undo:

editing before a decorated url and undoing preserves the link

ci status: the head is mergeable, but github marks CI and preview workflows action_required pending approval of the fork workflows. local scoped checks above are green; github CI is unverified until a maintainer approves those runs. coderabbit reports success with review paused; its previous finding is resolved.

evidence note: git.cafe currently renders these external media as links. the uploaded images and video were inspected directly, including video playback and seeking; first-party attachment upload failed with a server conflict.

Merged main at ccdbe6531b

merged github/main (67eebaca23) with a merge commit to clear the conflicts in index.css and the composer browser test. both sides kept: the link color rule sits beside main's new .composer-rich-marker rule, and the link test sits beside main's table of Mod+B cases.

one real regression came from the merge. main's #30421 now shows inline code as editable backtick text with the markdownSource mark and no code mark while the caret is in it. the link decoration then colored the code and its closing backtick, and the PR's own styles bare URLs as links (rich text: true) test failed. ccdbe6531b masks backtick code spans in source-marked text before matching. it is 7 lines in composerLinkDecorations.ts; nothing else changed.

checks: vp run check:changed passes on blacksmith (format, lint, knip, web typecheck, 49 tests in 4 files, react compiler). the URL test fails 3/3 without the fix and passes 5/5 with it.

before the fix, caret inside the inline code:

revealed inline code gets a globe icon and blue text including the closing backtick

after:

revealed inline code stays plain while the bare github url stays blue with its icon

unverified: electron shell and mobile.


Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at a41cb528a20a8ac6268c2be239ae09b9be08fa4f on this disposable linux boat vm. no code changes or pushes. git.cafe number is also 22437.

installed dependencies with vp i in a separate github/main worktree (c677d5fc45) and reproduced plain urls in the rich text composer. stopped that server by its captured pid before starting the exact pr head with isolated fresh state. drove both real apps with the repo's playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome. created the project pointing at the real repository, threads, and codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the ui. no mocks, fixtures, seeded data, or replay provider.

  • pasted urls become blue with a github brand icon and a successfully loaded external favicon; trailing punctuation is excluded.
  • inline code and fenced code stay undecorated. multiple urls, including repeated hosts, get separate icons.
  • editing before a link, undo, selecting/copying exact markdown, and replacing a selection by paste work. clicking a decorated url retains the caret without navigation.
  • settings rich text off/on removes/restores decorations without changing the draft. checked 1440×1000 light and 1200×900 dark.
  • a real submission completed with COMPOSER_PROVIDER_OK and echoed the original markdown exactly, including urls, punctuation, and inline-code backticks. the sent message still renders links and icons. main's real turn also completed with MAIN_PROVIDER_OK.

focused checks on blacksmith passed: vp test run apps/web/src/composer-links.test.ts (6 tests), and cd apps/web && vp test run --project browser src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.input.browser.test.tsx (16 tests). installed the worker's missing chromium before the browser run.

runtime transcript:

github/main: real ui -> codex gpt-6.1-sol -> MAIN_PROVIDER_OK
pr head: pasted markdown -> 2 decorated urls, inline code unchanged
pr head: real ui submit -> codex gpt-6.1-sol -> COMPOSER_PROVIDER_OK
provider echo: exact markdown matched, including punctuation and backticks

before, current main:

main rich text composer leaves pasted urls plain

after, exact pr head with matching draft:

pr rich text composer colors urls and adds icons while inline code stays plain

editing, undo, caret clicks, and rich text off/on:

real composer interactions preserve draft and restore link decorations

real codex response:

codex gpt-6.1-sol echoes the original markdown after a real ui submission

inspected the captures and verified the uploaded images match. verified uploaded video playback and seeking in chrome.

Not verified

native electron shell, macos/windows, native ios/android, remote relay/tunnel, and other providers were not exercised on this linux vm. mobile's separate composer is outside this change. forced favicon-network failure was not exercised. this is a focused runtime and test verification, not a claim that the full github ci suite ran. github currently reports action_required for CI and preview workflows, pending fork-workflow approval. git.cafe renders external evidence as links. github renders the images, but its external-mp4 image embed is unavailable. uploaded video playback and seeking were verified directly in chrome; inline playback in the pr is unverified.

Maria, the "brand/globe icons retain composer text color" note is fixed in b4d7934. The composer's icon widget now uses the link color (--info-foreground), the same color the sent message's icon gets from its anchor. Fetched favicons don't change.
