Problem

Inline code such as avatars/u1.webp becomes a file chip labeled only u1.webp, removing part of an example from the sentence. Line and column suffixes are also reformatted instead of showing what the agent wrote.

Fixes https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/29421.

Change

Preserve authored inline-code text in web/desktop file chips and mobile native pills, and index that same text for thread search. Mobile tracks links generated by the existing inline-code transform so the native renderer can retain their original text.

File classification, destinations, existence checks, and global fileLinkLabel defaults are unchanged. Missing example files still have the existing preview behavior.

Scope and approval

This is a focused obvious-bug fix under the small-fix exception: rendering drops authored content, and the issue explicitly accepts keeping that content as the chip label. Web, mobile, and shared search changes address that same content loss. No new setting, file-existence lookup, transport change, or unrelated cleanup is included.

Verification

  • Extended existing regressions: three failures before the fix; 72 tests passed afterward across threadFindText, native inline-file transforms, HTML transforms, and web Markdown links.
  • Focused lint, formatting, mobile typecheck, and git diff --check passed. vp run check:changed upstream/main passed formatting, lint, both Knip passes, affected-package typechecks, 46 tests, and 9 focused React compiler checks.
  • In the actual Linux web client, replayed the issue's assistant text with isolated development state. Before: basename/collision labels and reformatted line suffixes. After: exact avatars/u1.webp, thumbs/u1.webp, and ./src/main.ts:12:3 labels. An explicit Markdown link retained its existing basename/location presentation. Temporary replay-fixture edits were restored and are absent from the diff.

Before:

Before: inline file chips drop the authored path prefix

After:

After: inline file chips retain the full authored path

Native-device runtime was not exercised. The iOS and Android renderers both use each occurrence's original text when a label override is absent. The native customization API is keyed by href: an ordinary Markdown link sharing an inline-code href in the same document also keeps its own authored label. Other ordinary Markdown links retain existing labels. The independent reviewer accepted this tradeoff for the focused scope.

Review found that Markdown metacharacters in native labels could still lose content. Escaped labels independently from destinations and extended the existing parser regression with ./src/__tests__/main.ts; it failed before that correction and passes after.

Reviewed with review-loop: 2 rounds with GPT-6.1 Sol on xhigh. Reviewer verdict: approved.

Current-main validation

Rebased onto upstream main and fixed the long-label review finding: authored inline-code paths wrap instead of truncating the filename or line/column suffix. Explicit Markdown link labels keep their existing layout.

The focused Markdown/search suites pass (79 tests across five files). The full changed-file check passes with one worker; browser validation uses a private Xvfb display and Xauthority. A temporary narrow-width ChatMarkdown fixture supplied the captures below and was removed from the final diff. Integrated application and native-device verification remain for the parent task.

Before: a long authored path is truncated

After: the full authored path and position wrap within the available width

Created with GPT-6.1 Sol (extra-high reasoning) in Codex through T3 Code.

Fixes #29421

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at d0cca91

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Inline file chips now preserve the text the agent wrote, with thread search aligned to that text. The changes are limited to presentation and search text; file destinations and actions remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

The changes preserve authored text for inline-code file links in mobile and web rendering. Mobile markdown processing tracks matching hrefs. Thread search no longer converts inline code into file-link text.

Changes: Inline-code file-link text

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track inline-code file links
apps/mobile/src/lib/markdownDocument.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/markdownInlineFileLinks.test.ts
Markdown transformation can collect matching inline-code hrefs and escapes additional Markdown syntax in link labels. Tests cover recorded paths, fenced code, existing links, and exact path preservation.
Preserve text in rendered links
apps/mobile/src/native/EnrichedMarkdownText.tsx, apps/mobile/src/native/useEnrichedLinkVariants.ts, apps/web/src/components/ChatMarkdown.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/FileTagChip.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/MarkdownFileLink.tsx
Mobile rendering passes collected hrefs to link variants, which omit generated labels for those URLs. Web rendering uses inline-code text as the file-link label and supports wrapping it.
Keep inline code in search text
packages/shared/src/threadFindText.ts, packages/shared/src/threadFindText.test.ts
Thread search no longer resolves inline code as a file-link candidate. Updated expectations retain full paths and braces in path-like text.

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

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge, maria-rcks

Merge Risk: Low · up to c143e

On mobile, an explicit link can show its original text instead of the filename when inline code references the same file. The change is mergeable with this limitation.

Explanation

[#29421] Web chips, native pills, and thread search preserve authored inline-code text. The PR adds regression coverage for path prefixes, line suffixes, and Markdown metacharacters. Long labels wrap. These changes meet the issue’s accepted label-preservation behavior without changing file classification or existence checks.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, change, scope and approval basis, and verification. It reports focused test and check results, browser validation, screenshots, and the native-device verification limitation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The incremental ChatMarkdown.tsx diff also passes environmentId to renderSkillInlineMarkdownChildren in paragraph and list rendering. This changes skill rendering and has no connection to preserving inline-code file labels for [#29421].

Resolution

Remove the unrelated environmentId changes to skill rendering from this PR, or separate them into a change with an applicable scope.

Keep long file names visible.

Long paths can exceed the chat width. ContextChipLabel does not wrap and truncates the end, which can hide the filename and line number. Previously, the generated label put the filename first. Give inline-code file chips a wrapping layout so the authored path remains visible. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update the inline-code file chip layout around codeText, using ContextChipLabel
if that is the label component in this rendering path, to wrap long authored
paths instead of truncating their ends. Keep the filename and line number
visible.

Note

Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria

Merged current main into the branch (merge commit, no rebase). One conflict in apps/mobile/src/native/EnrichedMarkdownText.tsx: main renamed skillRegex to textLinkRegex (skills plus models); kept that and still pass inlineCodeHrefs to useEnrichedLinkVariants. No other changes.

vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, typecheck of 35 packages, 5 test files / 53 tests). The CodeRabbit note about long labels is already handled by the wrapLabel change in 2884345.
