Problem

In a Windows workspace, the copy button on a file header in the diff panel puts the Git path on the clipboard, with forward slashes: apps/web/src/index.ts. The Copy path item on an open file's tab (right-click the tab in the right panel) writes apps\web\src\index.ts for the same file when the workspace is the repository root. #19201 made that action, and the file-chip, media-menu and workspace-header copy actions, use the file host's separators because Windows Open dialogs reject forward slashes. The diff panel's button was not one of the actions it changed, and its body says it did not cover every copy action.

Expected: a file in a Windows workspace is copied with backslashes from the diff panel too. A file in a macOS or Linux workspace keeps forward slashes.

Change

DiffFilePathCopyButton now takes the workspace root and formats the path with formatFilePathForClipboard, the helper #19201 added. DiffPanel passes the thread's workspace root (activeCwd, its worktree path or the project root) through DiffFileHeaderSuffix. The path style follows the workspace's host, not the client's OS, as in #19201. The diff, file targets, retries and the "Copied!" toast are unchanged.

User-visible surfaces: the diff panel's per-file copy button on web (app.t3.codes and npx t3) and desktop. The clipboard text is the only change. The anchored toast still says "Copied!" and shows no path, so nothing on screen changes. Mobile has no diff copy button. Workspaces on macOS and Linux hosts are not affected, whichever client OS copies.

Open PRs touching DiffPanel.tsx: #29082, #28662, #20357, #23893, #19297, #11631, #28441, #15671, #29343, #15752, #24841, #25137, #23535, #29265. Only #25137, a draft, changes the lines around the DiffFileHeaderSuffix call, by re-indenting them, so the two would conflict trivially. No open PR touches DiffFilePathCopyButton.tsx.

Scope and approval

This is a very small fix for an obvious bug, the same defect #19201 fixed for the other file "Copy path" actions. The diff panel's copy button is a sibling copy action #19201 did not reach, and the fix uses #19201's own helper. It changes no other behaviour, setting or contract.

Verification

apps/web/src/components/DiffFilePathCopyButton.browser.test.tsx gains a case that renders the button for apps/web/src/index.ts in workspace C:\repo, clicks it and checks the text written to the clipboard. The existing case now names workspace /repo and still expects forward slashes. On main with only the test commit (10f6a4a), from apps/web:

vp test run src/components/DiffFilePathCopyButton.browser.test.tsx

× copies a Windows workspace's file path with Windows separators
AssertionError: expected "writeText" to be called with arguments: [ 'apps\web\src\index.ts' ]
-   "apps\\web\\src\\index.ts",
+   "apps/web/src/index.ts",
Tests  1 failed | 1 passed (2)

With the fix:

• vp test run src/components/DiffFilePathCopyButton.browser.test.tsx src/components/DiffPanel.browser.test.tsx: 2 files, 4 tests passed.
• vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (2 packages), tests (3 files) and the React compiler check all pass.

Run on Windows 11 in Chromium through the Vitest browser runner. The test sets the workspace root, so it fails and passes the same way on Linux CI.

In a running dev build (web, Windows), I added a git repository under %TEMP% with a changed apps/web/src/index.ts, started a thread, opened Changes, clicked the file header's copy icon and read the clipboard. The before run serves main's DiffFilePathCopyButton.tsx and DiffPanel.tsx, the after run this branch:

main:   apps/web/src/index.ts
branch: apps\web\src\index.ts

The toast reads "Copied!" both times, so there are no screenshots. What I could not check: pasting into a real Windows Open dialog, and the desktop app (the web build ran on the same Windows host as the workspace).

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at a8a3aff

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The diff copy button now uses the workspace host’s path separators, matching existing copy actions. The change is limited to user-triggered clipboard formatting and leaves file operations unchanged.

Walkthrough

The diff path copy button formats the file path with its workspace root before copying. The diff panel supplies activeCwd, and tests cover a Windows workspace root.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 3cb9f

The diff panel's Copy path button now copies paths using the workspace host's separators. The change is small and confined to clipboard text, and it has test coverage for the Windows case. Merge risk is minimal.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the diff panel's Copy path button now uses Windows separators in a Windows workspace. It matches the changeset (DiffFilePathCopyButton formats the path with formatFilePathForClipboard using workspaceRoot). The title follows the conventional commit form and is specific.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, each filled in with specific content. It explains the bug, the fix, why no issue is linked (small obvious bug, sibling of #19201), and gives concrete test commands, results, and manual verification steps. It also states what was not checked: pasting into a real Windows Open dialog and the desktop app. The Scope section does not link an issue, but it gives a reason for omitting one, which the template allows. The template asks for the agent model and harness at the end; the author gives 'Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, driven from T3 Code', which satisfies that line.

Note

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

Merged current main into this branch (no rebase). One conflict in DiffFilePathCopyButton.tsx: main replaced the MorphIcon with plain lucide-react icons (#33985), so the resolution keeps main's icons and this PR's formatFilePathForClipboard call. No other changes.

Checked on the merge: vp run check:changed (format, lint, knip, typecheck, react compiler) and DiffFilePathCopyButton.browser.test.tsx (2/2) pass.

CodeRabbit nitpick (move the Windows case into a DiffPanel test): skipped. workspaceRoot is a required prop, so typecheck already catches a dropped activeCwd forward, and a panel-level test would grow this PR.

Test Windows copying through the diff panel.

Move the Windows case to a DiffPanel test that uses a Windows worktree and the real copy button. Assert the clipboard value. The current button test cannot detect lost activeCwd forwarding, and the panel tests mock out the button.
