Problem

When a thread's latest run is interrupted, the composer's primary button becomes Resume thread. Pressing Enter in the empty prompt does nothing (https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/27045). Enter goes through submitComposer, which only knows the send path; with an empty draft there is nothing to send, so it returns silently. The button itself calls onResume directly, so clicking works and Enter does not.

Change

In submitComposer, when the Resume action is showing (showResumeAction: resumable, empty draft, not editing a queued message) and no pending question is being answered, Enter now calls onResume() instead of trying to send. It respects the same busy and environment-unavailable conditions that disable the button. With any text in the draft, showResumeAction is false and Enter sends as before.

Scope and approval

Fixes https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/27045. Small, focused fix: Enter now matches the visible primary action, which is what Enter already does for Send.

Verification

Reproduced and checked in the web dev app (vp run dev, Chromium) with the Replay (dev) provider:

1. Start a replay turn, then click Stop generation. The timeline shows "Run interrupted · Stopped by user", and the primary button's aria-label is "Resume thread".
2. Click into the empty prompt (confirmed document.activeElement is the empty contenteditable) and press Enter.
   • Before: nothing happens. Clicking the button right after resumes the thread, so the action itself works.
   • After: Enter resumes the thread; "Continue where you left off." is sent and a new run starts, same as clicking the button.
3. Regression check: stop again, type typed follow-up, press Enter. The typed text is sent as a normal message, not a resume.

Screenshots:

Before: Enter pressed, nothing happens	After: interrupted, Resume shown	After: Enter resumes

vp lint, vp fmt --check on the file, and tsc --noEmit for @t3tools/web pass. I did not add an automated test: there is no harness that renders the full ChatComposer with a resumable thread, and building one would be much larger than this fix. Not checked: the usage-limit resume path (only the interrupted path), desktop (Electron), and mobile.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at fbd6fd1

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Submitting an empty prompt now performs the existing Resume thread action when available. The change preserves permission and availability checks and reuses the guarded resume handler.

Walkthrough

When the resume action is available and no pending user input is active, submitComposer routes an empty draft to onResume() if sending is not busy and the environment is available. A browser test checks that pressing Enter resumes an interrupted thread.

Changes: Resume action

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Intercept composer submissions apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ChatView.browser.test.tsx	When the resume action is available and no pending user input is active, submission prevents the default event. It calls onResume() only if sending is not busy and the environment is available. The browser test checks that Enter dispatches a command referencing the interrupted run's ID.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 533a1

Pressing Enter on an empty prompt now resumes an interrupted thread, following the same busy and availability conditions as the Resume button. Typed messages still send as before. No remaining merge-blocking risk was identified.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(web): Enter on an empty prompt resumes an interrupted thread" names the primary change. The raw summary says an empty draft with the Resume action now resumes the thread on Enter in ChatComposer.tsx, and the PR objectives describe the same behavior. It uses a conventional commit prefix and plain language.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. The Problem section states the expected behavior and reproduction steps. The Change section explains the fix in submitComposer. The Scope section links issue #27045 and says the change is a small bug fix. The Verification section lists manual checks with observed before and after results, names what was not checked, and includes before and after screenshots. It also gives a reason for skipping an automated test. The model and harness line is present. The description is complete enough to pass.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #27045 requires that Enter on an empty prompt activate the Resume thread action when that action is shown. The whole-PR diff (merge base fa8949a to head 533a179) adds a branch in submitComposer in apps/web/src/components/chat/ChatComposer.tsx. When showResumeAction is true and activePendingProgress is null, the branch calls event?.preventDefault(), returns false when isSendBusy or environmentUnavailable !== null, and otherwise calls onResume() and returns true. When showResumeAction is false (for example, the draft has text), the code falls through to submitComposerDraft, so Enter still sends. The added browser test in apps/web/src/components/ChatView.browser.test.tsx ('Enter on an empty prompt resumes an interrupted thread') asserts that Enter dispatches a command with manualContinuationOfRunId matching the interrupted run. The issue does not require an automated test, so the test is supporting evidence only. Limitations: the definition of showResumeAction and the button's disabled expression are outside the diff, so their equivalence to the stated conditions rests on the diff context and PR description. The browser test was not executed in this review.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff changes two files. ChatComposer.tsx has one added hunk (Enter-to-resume branch and comment), which implements #27045. ChatView.browser.test.tsx adds one test that exercises the same Enter-to-resume behavior, which supports the objective. Neither file contains unrelated changes. The PR description says no automated test was added, which conflicts with the browser test present at head; this is a documentation mismatch, not an unrelated change. The changed-file list was not fully readable from the repository file listing, but both changed files were confirmed by per-path diffs.

Re CodeRabbit's request for browser coverage of this interaction: skipping. This is callback wiring, which AGENTS.md says to leave untested, and no harness renders the full ChatComposer, so adding one would be much larger than the fix. Manual verification is in the PR description.

Evidence

Start a turn with “Give me a short tour”; click Stop after the complete reasoning paragraph renders; wait for enabled Resume thread and “Stopped by user”; focus the empty prompt and press Enter. Then stop the continuation if present, type “Please explain the sum next.” and press Enter.

Real web app in Chromium, 1280×800, light theme; fresh synthetic databases with the same replay recording and driver. Both starting transcripts match and show “Stopped by user”. Workspace paths are redacted.

Base remains interrupted after empty Enter. Head adds “Continue where you left off.” and starts the continuation. Typed Enter sends normally on both commits. Scenario proof exited 0; its expected base failure was deferred until after capturing the typed follow-up control.
