fix(web): horizontal mouse wheel no longer switches threads - #33924
Electron cannot tell a mouse wheel from a trackpad, so a horizontal wheel notch (Linux, or shift-scroll on macOS) built up swipe distance and switched threads. HistorySwipeNavigation now checks each wheel event's legacy wheelDeltaX/Y. Chromium reports wheel notches as multiples of 120 divided by page zoom and truncated, so the check divides the notch size by the desktop zoom factor and allows 1.5px of rounding. A gesture is flagged notchesOnly until any moving event falls off a notch multiple. A notchesOnly gesture never shows the swipe indicator and never navigates on release, while real trackpad swipes still navigate even when their first event happens to land on a notch multiple or is a single pixel at high zoom. Takeover: merged origin/main (clean), kept the author's implementation unchanged, and cut three test rows that exercised the same branches as other rows (plain trackpad baseline, single accelerated notch, 110% zoom). The three remaining notch rows fail with main's component; the two trackpad rows guard against a notch check that is too eager.
Not executed during this screening. In the macOS desktop app, visit thread A and then thread B. With a Logitech MX Master or another mouse producing discrete horizontal wheel notches, turn the horizontal wheel over chat and then over the sidebar. Repeat in both directions and at 120% app zoom, using multiple notches if needed. Also open a wide diff, reach its horizontal edge, and wheel farther outward. Main can show the history arrow and switch threads; this change should keep the current thread while allowing normal content scrolling. Finally, verify that physical two-finger trackpad back/forward swipes still navigate.
Evidence
Both captures use separately built Linux Electron apps, fresh synthetic data, light theme and a 1100×780 viewport. Recordings show the upper 600 pixels with environment/input captions. Input is trusted Chromium mouse-wheel injection through CDP; physical hardware was not tested.
Visit A then B for backward navigation; visit A then B and return to A for forward navigation.
Wheel horizontally over chat and sidebar in both directions at 100% and 120% zoom, using the same scripted input on both commits.
Open the same unwrapped wide diff at 100%, wheel across its available horizontal range, then farther outward at each boundary.
Physical mouse behavior on macOS and preservation of physical two-finger trackpad history gestures remain unverified. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not shown:
Physical Logitech MX Master or equivalent mouse input on macOS was unavailable; the evidence uses trusted Chromium wheel injection in the real Linux Electron app.
Physical two-finger trackpad back/forward navigation could not be tested because no macOS trackpad was available.
Wide-diff boundary interactions were recorded at 100% zoom only; chat and sidebar interactions cover both 100% and 120%.
Tests
vp test run src/components/HistorySwipeNavigation.browser.test.tsx: 12 passed. Same file with HistorySwipeNavigation.tsx reverted to origin/main: 3 failed (slow macOS notches, 120% zoom notches, Linux notch), 9 passed. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (2 packages), tests (2 files), react compiler all pass.
Not in this change
On the plain web build there is no desktopBridge, so browser page zoom other than 100% is not accounted for in notch detection; the author's scope is the desktop app, and I left it there.
git.cafe HTTP push on this VM fails until credential.https://git.cafe.usehttppath is disabled, because the saved credential has no path; I worked around it per push and did not change global git config.

Proof captured by GPT-6.1 Sol and checked by Claude Opus 5.5
The history swipe treated any mostly horizontal pixel-mode wheel stream as a
trackpad swipe, so one horizontal wheel notch (such as the MX Master thumb
wheel) navigated to the previous or next thread. Electron gives no device
signal, so ignore a gesture whose first event carries Chromium's notched
legacy wheelDelta (a multiple of 120 that is not the macOS trackpad's -3x
pixel delta).

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Treat any wheelDelta that is a whole number of 120-unit notches, after
undoing page zoom and its integer rounding, as a mouse wheel. Drop the
-3x pixel exception, which also matched slow macOS notches (-40/120).
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
The wheel-notch check accepted zero notches, so a trackpad swipe whose first
event was a pixel at high zoom latched as ignored. Require a nonzero notch.

Classify the whole stream instead of its first event: the swipe is ignored only
when every moving event is a wheel notch.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Wheel-notch gestures no longer trigger thread-history navigation, while trackpad swipes retain the existing navigation path. The change is confined to transient UI input handling, with no persistent-data or operational effects.

Walkthrough
The change distinguishes mouse-wheel notches from trackpad movement. Notch-only gestures do not show the swipe indicator or trigger history navigation. Browser tests cover macOS wheel inputs at different zoom levels.

Summary
Classify wheel gesture movement apps/web/src/components/HistorySwipeNavigation.tsx
Gesture state records whether movement consists only of mouse-wheel notches. The classifier evaluates legacy wheel deltas against 120-unit notches and the desktop zoom factor.
Gate navigation and validate wheel inputs apps/web/src/components/HistorySwipeNavigation.tsx, apps/web/src/components/HistorySwipeNavigation.browser.test.tsx, apps/web/src/components/RightPanelTabs.browser.test.tsx
Notch-only gestures skip the swipe indicator and history navigation. Browser tests cover trackpad swipes and mouse-wheel notches at different zoom levels. The RightPanelTabs test bridge mock provides a zoom factor.
Horizontal mouse-wheel notches no longer trigger thread navigation, and trackpad swipes are unchanged. The earlier test failure caused by the missing zoom method is fixed. Physical macOS mouse and trackpad behavior has not been verified by hand, but nothing in the code points to a merge-blocking problem.

Explanation
The title "fix(web): horizontal mouse wheel no longer switches threads" follows conventional commit format and matches the main change: horizontal wheel notches no longer trigger thread-history navigation in HistorySwipeNavigation. It is specific and clear, and it does not describe anything absent from the changeset.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template. It has a Problem section that explains the bug and its environment, a Change section that explains the notch detection and the notchesOnly gating, a Scope section that links issue #33888 and states the desktop-app scope, and a Verification section that lists the tests, the before/after recordings, and the unverified items. The description is detailed and mostly complete. Minor gaps: the Scope section does not explain why there is no issue link for a maintainer request, and the Verification section includes a 'Not shown' list. The template's required coverage is still met.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #33888 requires that horizontal mouse-wheel notches over chat, the sidebar, or a wide diff at its horizontal edge not trigger history navigation. Trackpad swipes must still navigate. The whole-PR diff (merge base to head) adds isMouseWheelNotch, which classifies each event by legacy wheelDeltaX/Y divided by the desktop zoom factor, with a 1.5px tolerance. notchesOnly clears when any moving event is not a notch. Release and the swipe indicator both check notchesOnly, so notch-only gestures neither navigate nor show the indicator. The browser test rows cover slow macOS notches (no navigation), two notches at 120% zoom (no navigation), a trackpad swipe starting at a 1px event at 299% zoom (navigates), and a trackpad swipe starting on a notch multiple (navigates). The change since the previous review adds only a getWindowZoomFactor mock to the RightPanelTabs test helper; it does not alter the requirement analysis. Evidence for mouse behavior comes from trusted Chromium wheel injection on Linux Electron, not physical macOS hardware. The code path is platform-independent, so this gap does not block the coding verdict. The PR description states that the three cut test rows are not in the reviewed diff; they do not affect this verdict.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The whole-PR diff changes apps/web/src/components/HistorySwipeNavigation.tsx, HistorySwipeNavigation.browser.test.tsx, and RightPanelTabs.browser.test.tsx. The component changes add the notch classifier, the notchesOnly gesture flag, and its checks in release and indicator updates, all supporting #33888. The browser test file adds wheel-notch and trackpad cases for this classifier. The RightPanelTabs.browser.test.tsx change adds getWindowZoomFactor: () => 1 to the trackpad test helper's desktop bridge. This supports the zoom lookup used by the new component code, so it is a supporting test change. No unrelated behavior is present.

Chromium truncates wheelDelta after dividing by page zoom, so one notch at
120% arrives as 99 rather than 100. The notch check allowed exactly one zoom
unit of error and float rounding pushed 99 * 1.2 just past it, so two notches
read as a trackpad swipe and navigated. Compare in wheelDelta units with room
for the truncation.

Update existing bridge mocks for the new zoom read.
If desktopBridge exists without getWindowZoomFactor, this call throws before the ?? 1 fallback can run. The supplied CI logs confirm repeated unhandled errors in RightPanelTabs.browser.test.tsx, which fail the browser-test run.
Add getWindowZoomFactor to the affected bridge mocks, preferably through their shared setup. The new tests supply this method, but existing consumers still need it.

Update the shared desktopBridge mock setup used by existing browser tests to include getWindowZoomFactor, ensuring it returns a valid zoom factor so consumers such as the notchDelta calculation can read it without throwing. Preserve any existing mock behavior.

the fix is written and reviewed, but proving it needs something no worker has:
Permanent blocker: Requires a macOS desktop app with a Logitech MX Master or equivalent discrete horizontal-wheel mouse and a physical two-finger trackpad. This Linux VM cannot exercise the macOS-only handler, and the brief prohibits reaching another machine or working around unavailable macOS hardware. Both-direction navigation, chat/sidebar behavior, 120% zoom, wide-diff boundary scrolling, and preserved physical trackpad navigation remain unverified.
