Problem

A PR description that shows media side by side in an HTML table renders broken in the PR panel. This is GitHub's usual layout for before/after recordings. The videos are lifted out of their cells and stacked at full width, and the header row is left on its own. This happens on web, desktop and mobile.

The PR body splitter lifts any line that is only a video link out of the Markdown, so the video can play inline. It did not know when that line was inside a <table>, so it cut tables apart.

Change

The splitter in client-runtime now recognises an HTML <table> with an attachment link in its cells. It returns the table as one segment, and each cell is split on its own. Web and mobile render that segment as rows of equal-width columns. The mobile description preview also collects attachments from inside tables.

Any other table goes through the line-by-line splitter as before. This covers tables without attachment links (including Markdown image-only tables), tables with content outside their cells such as a caption, nested tables and unclosed tables.

Follow-up PRs

This is the first of four PRs about media in PR descriptions. The other three build on it and fix how videos look on mobile and web. They come from a fork, so they can't use this PR's branch as their base. I'll open each one after the PR below it merges, so its diff contains only its own change:

2. fix(mobile): video previews keep their fit on iOS
3. fix(mobile): video previews survive re-signed URLs and a late-attached player item
4. fix: videos keep their own aspect ratio

Scope and approval

A small fix of an obvious bug: GitHub's own before/after layout renders broken on every client. It changes only the PR body splitter and the two renderers that use it.

Verification

• vp test run src/pullRequestMarkdown.test.ts in packages/client-runtime: passes. It covers a before/after video table, a table without media and an unclosed table.
• vp test run src/features/pull-requests in apps/mobile: passes, including attachment collection from a table.
• Typecheck, vp lint and vp fmt --check pass for the changed files.
• Checked in the web PR panel, the iOS simulator and the Android emulator with a real PR that uses before/after video tables.

Takeover

Taken over from @bartlomiejbloniarz. The behaviour is unchanged: a <table> with attachment links in its cells stays one table on web, iOS and Android. The table detector in client-runtime is now a single linear pass over the table's structure tags. Before, a nested media table still turned the inner table into a segment and left the outer tags as stray text, and a run of unterminated <tr> rescanned the table quadratically. Now a nested table, a colspan/rowspan cell or a quoted > in an attribute falls back to the line-by-line split, the same as on main, or keeps its cell text intact. Mobile builds the image gallery once per body rather than once per markdown cell. The tests were cut to one per behaviour plus the fallback cases.

Merged with main (Nov 6)

5024f4c merges main 6fe0fdf088. Main had changed the same three files: description checkbox write-back (https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/30704), CRLF bodies (https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/30352), GitCafe attachments and line breaks. The web and mobile renderers were rebuilt from main's versions with the recursive table view, so they keep main's checkbox, line-break and repository handling.

• Checkboxes in table cells. Cell text now records where it sits in the whole body, so ticking a - [ ] inside a media table writes to the right characters of the description.
• CRLF. A cell in a CRLF body no longer starts with blank \r lines.
• Indented cells. Text indented four columns in a cell (four spaces, a tab, or up to three spaces then a tab) would render as a code block once the cell is markdown on its own. Such tables keep main's line-by-line split: a8af23e, 37d33d6. That shared pattern now also treats a spaces-then-tab line at the top level as code.

Web, at the current head, rendered with the app's CSS. The cell checkbox writes back at the body offset of [ ] checked after. The videos are example.com placeholders, so dark mode shows the error state inside each cell.

What else changed:

• Tables become independent equal-width rows; cell media shrink, headers reflow, web header weight is medium while native stays regular. Prose/long tokens wrap; native fenced code scrolls horizontally. Table height moves trailing prose, comments, attachment strips and changed-files rows.
• F04 text-cell links/reference presentation now resolves through Markdown/repository context; before web shows literal link source and native keeps the reference as text. Repeated inline media remain while strip URLs deduplicate. Native navigation blur follows content underneath.
• F05/F06 pending/error controls resize into cells and keep the healthy sibling. The reviewed web error sits below its heading without overlap. Injected hold/HTTP503 timing is not a performance measurement.
• F07 head body208pt iOS/213.33dp Android, no Show more, strip present; base270pt iOS with collapse control/237.33dp Android. F09/F12 legacy raw URLs become cell players; narrow comment/annotation bounds reflow and the F12 annotation toolbar action becomes visible with both columns fitting. F10 expanded table height changes; final Android collapsed start/end match at zero. iOS raw collapsed differences reproduce within the baseline SHA (0.333pt native-list position,8,713 pixels atT12); a matching-position before/after pair is exactly zero. The end adds two below-threshold timeline endpoint rounding pixels. See raw diffs and native layout/noise-floor measurements in F10.
• F13 owners shift with table height. Guide uses the disclosed same-flower variant on both sides. Web question remains a literal prompt button; native question renders Markdown. Matched native top/down gestures expose different layout ranges; no equal numeric-offset claim.
• Some web pairs retain isolated shared tab/header pixels at zero threshold (including F09). C01 and C02 GFM expose1/2 such pixels, absent at threshold12; ordinary links and C04 outside-text controls are exactly zero. Matching compositor transforms avoid unrelated web glyph variance. Full native frames show OS clocks; diffs use the stated identical crop. The hosted synthetic video bytes themselves include native app chrome and a development warning bar on both revisions. No pixel retouching.

Not capturable: fullscreen video on wide web and iOS records as black frames on both revisions (capture-tool limit), so fullscreen there is unverified; Android fullscreen and all inline playback are captured. Index of every row · matrix.

Verification log

• Before the Nov 6 merge: head 7b45384a9c merges main 1da41f9499 into the captured head 57eaadd11e. The merge touches no file in the PR's render paths. Its only nearby change is packages/shared treating video/mp2t as a non-video MIME type, which no captured fixture uses.
• Tests: packages/client-runtime/src/pullRequestMarkdown.test.ts covers the before/after table, a table without media, a quoted > attribute, and eight fallback cases (caption, text outside cells, text in a row, nested table, unclosed table, spanning cell, two indented cells). pullRequestDescriptionContent.test.ts covers attachments collected from a table. The before/after, quoted >, spanning-cell, nested-table and collection cases fail without the change; the other fallback cases pin main's output. The offset test now covers a checkbox in a CRLF cell and fails without the body-relative offset. 36 + 2 pass.
• Parser: linear. Timed on 3000-token malformed inputs: unterminated tags and quotes ≤1.6 ms, 3000 nested tables 0.3 ms, a valid 3000-cell table about 10 ms.
• Review round 1: Codex Sol FIX_FIRST (spanning cells shifted columns, a quoted > leaked into cell text, mobile rebuilt the gallery per cell), all fixed; Opus MERGE. Round 2: Opus MERGE; Codex Sol FIX_FIRST on two limits main's splitter already has (reference definitions and <details> do not carry across segments), left unchanged. No code changed after round 2.
• Proof audit: SUFFICIENT on all 18 rows. Independent rebuilds matched the delivered captures: F01 web narrow dark 0 px, F09 web narrow dark 1 px at 1/255, and F10 iOS, whose difference map equals the before build's own launch-to-launch noise.
• Unverified: fullscreen video on wide web and iOS (the capture tool records it as black on both revisions). Desktop shares the web renderer and had no separate run.
• vp run check:changed passed at 5024f4c after the merge.
• Review round 3 (after the merge): Opus found indented cells rendering as code (fixed), Sol MERGE. Round 4: Opus MERGE, Sol found the spaces-then-tab case (fixed). Sol's offset matrix checked 150 checkbox positions; 5,000 bodies without media tables matched main.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This change adds shared table parsing and recursive production rendering across web and mobile, rather than only adjusting presentation text. It also introduces line-level lint suppressions and has an unresolved caption-preservation risk in the new table path.

Walkthrough

Pull request body parsing now represents qualifying media-containing HTML tables as nested segments. The web and mobile renderers process table cells, and mobile description content collects attachments from those cells.

Changes: Pull request table media

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Parse media-containing tables packages/client-runtime/src/pullRequestMarkdown.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/pullRequestMarkdown.test.ts	The parser recognizes qualifying HTML tables that contain attachments and represents rows and cells as nested segments. Tests cover media tables, fallback cases, and surrounding content.
Render nested table segments apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestMarkdown.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/pull-requests/PullRequestMarkdown.tsx	The web and mobile renderers recursively render table cells. The web renderer handles markdown, images, videos, and attachment links. The mobile renderer builds an image gallery at the body level and passes it through the segment tree.
Collect attachments from table cells apps/mobile/src/features/pull-requests/pullRequestDescriptionContent.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/pull-requests/pullRequestDescriptionContent.test.ts	Mobile description content recursively collects cell attachments. A test checks that video attachments from Before and After cells retain their order.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(web): PR bodies keep before/after video tables intact" matches the main change. The PR makes the body splitter in client-runtime keep HTML tables that contain attachment links as one segment, so before/after video tables no longer break apart. The title follows the conventional commit format from the template and names the affected area (web PR bodies) and the behavior. The title scopes the fix to web, but the change also updates mobile rendering and the client-runtime splitter, so it is somewhat narrow. This is a minor issue and does not make the title misleading.

Assert that the caption fallback preserves the attachment.

The caption assertion does not check the video URL. A regression that keeps the caption but drops the video would pass. Add an attachment assertion.

Compute the image gallery once for nested cells.

138-138: Trivial · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Compute the image gallery once for nested cells.

When a PR body contains image markup, each markdown cell passes the full body to PullRequestMarkdownContent. That component calls markdownImageSources, which parses the full body again for each cell. Tables with many text cells therefore multiply render-time parsing. Compute the image sources once in PullRequestMarkdown and share them with cell renderers. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

@coderabbitai Leaving the image gallery parse as is. main already runs it once per Markdown segment, so this PR doesn't introduce the pattern. A media table adds only a few text cells, tables are capped at 64 lines, and markdownImageSources returns early when the body has no images. Sharing the result would be a separate change.

[coderabbitai]

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@bartlomiejbloniarz Understood. I withdraw the request to share the image-gallery parse result in this PR. Your explanation supports keeping that refactor separate from the table-rendering fix.

Would you like a follow-up issue for that optimization?
