Problem

Closes #33114

Expanded media places its X near the desktop window close button, so trying to dismiss a preview can close T3 Code. The media dismissal should be easy to distinguish from the native app control.

Change

The shared image/video viewer uses a visible left-arrow Back button at the top left. Its accessible name includes Back and identifies the media being closed. The existing dismissal handler, initial focus and focus return are unchanged. Existing browser-test lookups follow the accessible-name change, including mouse and keyboard opener-focus cases and queued-image gallery cases added on main. No tests were added.

Media dialogs reserve the existing native titlebar height so Back stays below macOS traffic lights, including small windows and app zoom. For image/video controls inside the popup, the inset is capped at extreme zoom. HTML keeps the full inset for its control above the popup. Very narrow CSS viewports center Back without the outer side padding. The dialog inset uses its own variable, preserving the existing media height calculation so video does not collapse in a short, zoomed macOS window.

Scope and approval

This qualifies for the small, focused bug-fix exception: the existing media dismissal resembles the native app-close control. The change labels and moves that control and keeps it clear of the native titlebar. It adds no workflow, setting or IPC. The titlebar layout follow-ups are part of that same presentation fix.

Verification

Current head 91a53e3250b1d56f51b41ac32432403b7aa38064, merge-base 2bee33eb193a0430c9a0d8e24f8f684163f045a4. Main was merged into the branch through GitHub. Its queued-gallery test still used the old Close accessible name; the additional change updates that lookup to Back while preserving both existing gallery cases. The product viewer, dialog, native-titlebar and HTML source remain identical to reviewed head 1054e5677d748e2b43b16eb918a772bb3aabc218. The complete diff changes five files and adds no tests. vp run check:changed origin/main passed on the exact tree committed as this head with Node 26.12.1 and vp 1.4.0: format, lint, knip, typecheck for two packages, 98 browser tests across four files and React compiler checks. All five source hashes match the checked snapshot. . Current-head GitHub CI passes, including both full web suites, build/typecheck, lint and the aggregate Check. Fresh independent review found no issues across all five files, the distinct existing tests and all 21 captures. Earlier check and capture links retain their recorded provenance.

The prior-head vp run check:changed result is here. The real-app vp run scenarios:prove comparison at base 43821388a9af0bdd2e41c36af31cbc859fba5a71 and head b4b9314fb6d9ffa919ecf5700778ed355b919552 failed the upper-right dismissal geometry on base and passed initial focus, Back dismissal, Escape and opener focus return on head. It used real CLI-created Replay history and a composer PNG attachment in Chromium at 1280x800. Scenario output.

The issue's device list requires a Linux desktop and native Windows desktop. Diff-based device routing adds only the web browser. Native macOS comparisons additionally cover the titlebar and extreme-zoom findings. Fresh independent review confirmed that all retained captures and the real-app scenario remain applicable at 91a53e3250b1d56f51b41ac32432403b7aa38064 against base 2bee33eb193a0430c9a0d8e24f8f684163f045a4. The critical viewer, dialog, native-titlebar and HTML sources are unchanged from 1054e56; the merged desktop main-window targeting preserves the recorded single-window path. The popup refactor adds no wrapper or layout change, and explicit media focus overrides survive. The recorded commits in each caption remain unchanged.

Web, Linux and Windows comparisons were recorded at main 934c7f8d8e7a012aa55be9c0b17498979040fe02 and head 4e1043a803b96a04b91a1908d4141d3ef79a8189. Both native desktop builds passed vp run build:desktop:bundle with Electron 44.10.1. Initial focus, Back dismissal, Escape, opener focus return and app survival passed on those recorded builds.

Web, same image at 1280x800.

Native Linux on a physical Linux host, same 1132x822 window and image. XComposite captured the verified owned PID/XID with native caption controls.

Native Windows 11 Pro ARM64 25H2, build 26200.9711, in t3-windows on an ARM64 Mac. Same image and 1280x800 native window. Owned CDP and PrintWindow targeted the verified Electron PID/HWND. The available VM runs Windows 11, not the reporter's Windows 10.

Native macOS on a physical ARM64 Mac, macOS 27.0.1 ARM64, Electron 44.10.1. Image before f194783636332fdc6008f8097c18fc81b6f5e447, after 823f0913df221e4a51847effdf61288403191e3f. Matching image and native window sizes. At 400x360 the 9px traffic-light overlap becomes 43px clearance. Back, Escape, opener focus return and app survival passed. The intermediate titlebar build also passed native 83.333%/120% zoom and an HTML-dialog smoke check. All exact desktop builds passed; Cua captured the verified owned native windows and native/DOM bounds.

At 400x360 with actual app zoom 1.728, a collapsed video becomes 48.33 CSS pixels tall. Back remains wholly visible below the traffic lights and the caption fits. Initial focus, native background AXPress Back, Escape, opener focus return and app survival passed. Playback emitted real play/playing/timeupdate events and decoded-frame callbacks; this proves playback, not sustained smoothness. At normal size the rendered 642x362 video and its position are unchanged.

Native macOS high-zoom comparison, before 823f0913df221e4a51847effdf61288403191e3f, after aef66ddf91e6a288134abb21d379a4b8d32e7960. Same image, 400x360 native window and actual 500% app zoom reached by 18 real View-menu Zoom In callbacks. Before places Back outside the viewport. After shows its entire focused rectangle at native x8.52..391.48 and y185..345, with 47pt clearance below the native traffic lights. Background native AXPress Back and Escape each dismiss only the preview and restore opener focus; the app remains alive. Both exact desktop bundle builds passed on a physical ARM64 Mac, macOS 27.0.1 ARM64, Electron 44.10.1. Normal image layouts, the positive-height video at 172.8%, metadata/seeking, and normal HTML-dialog dismissal retain their previous measurements and pass at that recorded head. This verifies Back access at 500%; full media usability there remains unproven because the image is 1x1 CSS px and its caption has zero client width in both builds.

Native macOS HTML Close follow-up, before aef66ddf91e6a288134abb21d379a4b8d32e7960, after recorded head 88710d28bce7d2fab14ce9f3d4cd6525600d53da. Same HTML fixture, 400x360 native window and actual 500% app zoom. Before places the complete Close button above the window (CSS y−30.12..−2.12). After places it fully inside (y3.88..31.88), including the focused ring, without intersecting native caption buttons. Background native AXPress Close and Escape each dismiss only the preview, restore opener focus and retain the same app PID. Both exact desktop bundles passed on a physical ARM64 Mac, macOS 27.0.1 ARM64, Electron 44.10.1. Normal HTML/image layouts, short-window video at 172.8%, and image Back at 500% retain identical geometry and pass dismissal/focus checks. This proves Close access; general HTML content and toolbar usability at 500% remains unproven.

Image Back at recorded head 88710d28bce7d2fab14ce9f3d4cd6525600d53da, at the same 400x360/500% retains its entire focused rectangle and 47pt caption clearance.

All captures use isolated fixtures and real app bundles, with no sign-in or paid provider. Native test entries used showInactive and suppressed native focus to keep testing in the background; product bundles and DOM focus were unchanged. macOS launches used --use-mock-keychain. Owned apps, processes, state, worktrees and locks were cleaned up. The captures and native measurement/action records were inspected during independent review.

Not shown: Windows 10, Windows x64/installers, packaged macOS/Intel builds, native activation or OS pointer clicks, maximized/fullscreen layout, audio or sustained playback smoothness, general media usability at 500%, or general HTML content/toolbar usability at extreme zoom. The video comparison addresses a static layout collapse; no motion behavior was changed.

Implemented with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code. Accessibility adjustment, media-sizing follow-up and verification with GPT-6.1 Sol in Codex.

Walkthrough

The media preview dialog now uses a labeled Back button with a left-arrow icon. DialogPopup sets media viewport spacing from the native titlebar height and supports inside or outside control placement. Browser tests use the updated accessible name.

Changes: Media preview dialog

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Media viewport titlebar offset apps/web/src/components/ui/dialog.tsx	DialogPopup reads the native titlebar height and sets --media-dialog-titlebar-height for media dialogs. It supports inside or outside control placement, and the media viewport uses the variable for top padding.
Back control and browser tests apps/web/src/components/chat/ExpandedImageDialog.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/ExpandedImageDialog.browser.test.tsx, apps/web/src/components/files/AttachmentFilePreview.browser.test.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/QueuedRunsControl.browser.test.tsx	The dialog replaces its top-right icon-only close control with a top-left Back button and arrow icon. The browser tests use the updated accessible name.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(web): distinguish media Back from window close" matches the main change. The PR replaces the expanded media close X with a labeled Back button, and the description states this is meant to separate media dismissal from the native window close control. The title is short, uses a conventional commit prefix, and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. The Problem section states the issue and links #33114. The Change section explains the Back button, its accessible name, and the dialog inset changes. The Scope section cites the small bug-fix exception and links the issue. The Verification section lists commands, commit hashes, platforms, and screenshots, and it states what was not checked. The description is long and dense, and some sections are verbose. It does not state the model and harness in the closing line, but it does name Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol, which covers that template request. The Scope section does not link a maintainer request, but the author cites the prior-approval exception instead.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#33114] asks that expanded media show a Back control that closes the media, not an app-style close X. At head 91a53e3, apps/web/src/components/chat/ExpandedImageDialog.tsx renders a Button with ArrowLeftIcon and visible text "Back", labeled aria-label={Back, close ${mediaLabel} preview}, positioned absolute left-0 top-0. The DialogPopup call sets showCloseButton={false}, so the generic X is not rendered. The close handler (close), initialFocus={closeButtonRef}, and finalFocus={() => returnFocus.target} are present. The popup uses variant="media" and mediaControlsPlacement="inside", which the PR summary says reserve the native titlebar height in ui/dialog.tsx. The browser-test lookups were read at head. apps/web/src/components/chat/QueuedRunsControl.browser.test.tsx locates "Back, close image preview" (exact), and the queued-image gallery case still checks dismissal and the queued message. The issue requires no new tests. Core requirement met by source evidence at head.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed files serve the media dismissal fix for [#33114]: the Back button and its accessible name in ExpandedImageDialog.tsx; accessible-name lookups in ExpandedImageDialog.browser.test.tsx, AttachmentFilePreview.browser.test.tsx, and QueuedRunsControl.browser.test.tsx (the last confirmed at head); and the media-dialog titlebar inset, narrow-viewport centering, and inside-placement cap in ui/dialog.tsx. The media-height calculation is kept for video. The PR describes no workflow, setting, IPC, dependency, or build change. Limits: the whole-PR diff and the incremental diff could not be read because changed blobs are missing from the checkout (diff operation returned no text). Changes in dialog.tsx and the native-titlebar and HTML paths were judged from head file contents and the PR summary, not from a diff. The PR description cites merge-base 2bee33e, which matches the review metadata. The conclusion is that no unrelated change is demonstrated.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 274cb4572e69d0e3a2ebf4e95241b1f050a222ee on this linux boat vm.

• reproduced the top-right x on github/main (e89abadaee70e0d73fb19a5ce40a686b1a92310e) in a separate worktree after vp i.
• created a local git project through the app and ran codex gpt-6.1-sol through the real web composer. that turn created two pngs and a three-second mp4 and returned image links. copied the stopped main server's isolated state for matching pr data. only one dev server ran at a time.
• checked out the exact pr head, ran vp i, and started vp run dev --home-dir /home/user/t3code/.t3. drove the app with repo playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome. a second real codex turn completed on the pr server with Media verification ready.
• opened an assistant image from chat. the top-left back button receives initial focus, dismisses only the viewer, and restores focus to the image opener. escape does the same. next-image click and left-arrow gallery navigation still work.
• attached the generated mp4 through the composer, opened its expanded viewer, and played it. observed playback at 1.34/3 seconds. back and escape both dismiss the video viewer while the app and composer remain usable. the ordinary file link also opens the video in the files panel.
• inspected the back control in light/dark themes at 1280x800 and in the narrow web layout at 390x844.
• ran the two existing affected browser files through blacksmith-check: 136 tests passed. the first attempt lacked the worker's playwright browser installation; after installing it on that worker, the rerun passed. the pr also currently has 31 successful ci contexts, zero failing and zero pending. no source changes or push were needed.

before, main, same thread and ocean image at 1280x800:

after, exact pr head, same image and viewport:

14-second recording: gallery navigation, back, escape, video playback and video dismissal. inspected the capture and checked uploaded playback and seeking.

Not verified

native electron window controls and accidental app-window closure were not exercised. this pass verifies the shared viewer through the web client, not a native desktop build. macos/windows, native ios/android, remote relay/tunnel connections, and providers other than codex were not exercised. the change is confined to the shared web viewer control and two existing test locators.

[shivamhwp]

[GPT-6.1 Sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Fixed the 500% zoom finding in current head 3397b196043813149b406f8e1cd285db4df17e12. The image/video inset caps at half the viewport height, and very narrow viewports center Back. HTML retains its full inset for Close above the popup.

Native macOS at 400×360 and actual 500%: before, after. The entire focused Back control fits, with 47pt clearance below the traffic lights. Native AXPress and Escape dismiss only the preview and restore opener focus. The separate HTML Close comparison and normal image/video regressions pass. Captures, exact build provenance and limits are in the PR body; a fresh independent round 2 review confirmed they cover the rebased head. Full CI passes, including 5,798 web tests. General media/HTML usability at 500% remains unproven.
