fix(composer): thread mentions read dashes as spaces by alcpereira · Pull Request #25478 · pingdotgg/t3code

alcpereira · 2026-10-26T12:08:39Z

Problem

An @ mention in the composer ends at the first space, so the natural way to reference a thread titled "Review PR 195" is @review-pr-195. That returned no threads at all: the matcher read review-pr-195 as one word, which no title contains. Only the run-together @reviewpr195 worked, and that ranked the exact title below newer threads with longer titles.

Typing the title as written does not work, because the space ends the mention and closes the menu before "pr 42" is ever searched:

Change

composerThreadQuery in packages/client-runtime/src/composerThreadItems.ts turns -, _, and . into spaces before thread matching. @review-pr-195 then searches for "review pr 195", which matches the whole title and ranks it first.

The web and mobile composers also send the mention query to the server to load older settled threads that their shells leave out. That call uses the same translation, otherwise an older matching thread would never load for a dashed query. File search still receives the raw query, so @foo-bar.ts is unchanged. Cmd+K accepts spaces and is not affected.

Scope and approval

No prior issue: this is a very small, focused fix for an obvious bug. A mention cannot contain a space, and the obvious substitute returned nothing. The change only affects how the composer's thread mention query is read. Ranking, filtering, and file search are untouched.

Verification

Added a test to packages/client-runtime/src/composerThreadItems.test.ts. On main it fails with expected [] to deeply equal [ 'exact', 'follow-up' ]. With the fix, review-pr-195 and review_pr.195 both return the exact title "Review PR 195" first, ahead of a newer "Review PR 195 follow-up: tests", and exclude "Review PR 194".
vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, typecheck of 7 packages, tests).
Checked in the web client against a dev server with synthetic threads, typing Summarize @review-pr-42 in another thread's composer:

Before	After

Before shows no threads at all. After lists "Review PR 42" first and leaves out "Review PR 41". Desktop runs the same composer code. Not checked on mobile, which shares the same matcher.

merged main without rebasing; both sides preserved. all 33 checks pass. blacksmith check:changed passed, including seven package typechecks and 16 focused tests. two independent reviews approve the head. chrome reproduced the main failure and verified thread selection and literal file search. native mobile, electron, remote/relay, other providers, and older-thread discovery were not exercised in this pass.

after, merged head:

An @ mention ends at a space, so `@review-pr-195` was the natural way to type "Review PR 195", but the dash made it one word and nothing matched. Thread matching now reads dashes, underscores, and dots as spaces, on web and mobile, including the server lookup for older settled threads. File search still gets the raw query.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 12cbd4e

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a small, test-covered composer fix that treats mention-safe separators as spaces for thread-title matching, including older settled threads. File search remains unchanged, and the PR introduces no product-default or static-analysis configuration changes.

Walkthrough

Composer thread matching now scores both original queries and queries with runs of dashes, underscores, or dots replaced by spaces. Mobile and web path-trigger searches use the normalized query when it differs from the original.

Changes: Composer thread query normalization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalize and rank thread queries `packages/client-runtime/src/composerThreadItems.ts`, `packages/client-runtime/src/composerThreadItems.test.ts`	The exported `composerThreadQuery` replaces runs of dashes, underscores, and dots with spaces. Matching scores candidates against original and normalized queries. Tests cover separator variants, literal thread IDs, and punctuated titles.
Normalize path-trigger searches `apps/mobile/src/features/threads/use-composer-command-menu.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/chat/useComposerMenuItems.ts`	Mobile and web path-trigger searches pass normalized queries to thread search when the query differs from the original. Mobile search also requires an available environment.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: t3dotgg

Merge Risk: Low · up to adbe2

Thread mentions now treat dashes, underscores, and dots as spaces, so queries like @review-pr-195 find the matching thread. Older settled threads in linked environments may still be missing from suggestions, which was already true before this change. The risk of merging is low.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: composer thread mentions now read dashes as spaces, which is a fix for thread matching. The changeset normalizes -, _, and . in composer thread queries, so the title matches the change. It uses the conventional commit form and is specific enough for a reviewer scanning history.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and each is substantively filled. The Problem section explains the expected behavior and the reproduction (typing @review-pr-195 returns no threads, and the space ends the mention). The Change section explains how composerThreadQuery normalizes separators and why the server lookup uses the same translation. The Scope section explains why no issue is linked (a small, obvious bug fix) and states what is unchanged (ranking, filtering, file search). The Verification section gives a specific regression test with its failing and passing results, the check:changed run, and before/after web screenshots. It also states what was not checked (mobile native, Electron, remote/relay, other providers). The title in the template is a conventional commit title, and the PR objectives reference the title 'fix(composer): thread mentions read dashes as spaces'. The model and harness attribution is included as the template requests. Minor gaps: the Verification section mixes author-level and takeover-level claims, and the takeover verification section reports different counts (33 checks, 16 focused tests) from the original description (11 or so tests), but these do not block the assessment.

thanks @alcpereira. your shared query normalization fixes both local matching and older-thread lookup while keeping file search literal. i kept your commit and merged current main into this branch, resolving the conflicts without dropping main's linked-machine mentions. the follow-up also preserves literal ids and punctuated title scores, including omitted older threads, by keeping the raw lookup and adding normalized lookup only when different. the final diff is four files, 73 additions and 6 deletions.

verification at 05bd6fb2d289c9263a7c084db19185e813937c71:

reproduced the regression on main: review-pr-195 returned [] instead of the exact title and follow-up. the existing-module regression passes on this head. a second regression reproduced literal id matching returning [] before the follow-up and now passes.
blacksmith vp run check:changed passed: format, lint, knip, seven package typechecks, eleven focused tests, and react compiler checks.
real chrome composer: dashed query finds "Review PR 195"; selecting it inserts the thread mention. an isolated fixture with 25 newer settled threads also exercised the older-thread server lookup with review pr 195, and a literal full thread id found the omitted thread after the discovery fix.
nearby file search still sends dev-replay-agent.ts literally and finds the file. two independent scoped reviews found no issues.
known existing limit: older-thread discovery searches the current environment; linked-environment mentions use already-loaded shells. @alcpereira, expanding that scope is separate from this fix.
unverified: native mobile, electron desktop, macos, and windows. mobile uses the shared matcher and its existing hook tests passed.

Follow-up Comments

Search older settled threads with both query forms.

109-111: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Search older settled threads with both query forms.

The web and mobile callers pass only composerThreadQuery(...) to useThreadSearch. Older-settled reference matching compares the normalized query literally with thread.id. A query such as review pr 195 cannot match review-pr-195.

Thread IDs can contain punctuation. Web-created IDs use hyphened UUIDs. Keep the normalized query for title matching, and also search older settled threads with the raw trigger query.

Suggested fix

-  useThreadSearch(isPathTrigger ? [environmentId] : [], composerThreadQuery(pathTriggerQuery), {
+  useThreadSearch(isPathTrigger ? [environmentId] : [], pathTriggerQuery, {
     titlesOnly: true,
   });
+  useThreadSearch(isPathTrigger ? [environmentId] : [], composerThreadQuery(pathTriggerQuery), {
+    titlesOnly: true,
+  });

   useThreadSearch(
     trigger?.kind === "path" && environmentId ? [environmentId] : [],
-    trigger?.kind === "path" ? composerThreadQuery(trigger.query) : "",
+    trigger?.kind === "path" ? trigger.query : "",
     { titlesOnly: true },
   );
+  useThreadSearch(
+    trigger?.kind === "path" && environmentId ? [environmentId] : [],
+    trigger?.kind === "path" ? composerThreadQuery(trigger.query) : "",
+    { titlesOnly: true },

merged current main without rebasing and resolved the composer import conflict, preserving both sides. pushed adbe2635c9a12c021f6c1399d4381ec829b6f2ed to the existing contributor branch. the change remains four files, 73 additions and 6 deletions.

all 33 checks pass. github reports no conflicts.
blacksmith vp run check:changed github/main passed: format, lint, knip, seven package typechecks, 16 focused tests, and react compiler checks.
two independent scoped reviews approve this head with no findings.
real chrome reproduced the failed dashed mention on main using the same app-created thread. the merged head finds it and inserts its structured thread reference. underscore and dot queries and nearby literal file search also passed.
the older linked-environment discovery finding is an existing limit on main, outside this separator fix; the existing explanation is preserved and the thread is resolved.
unverified this pass: native mobile, electron, remote/relay, other providers, and older-thread discovery. the target thread ran through the replay provider; no paid-provider claim is made.
