Problem

Reviewing Uncommitted changes during an agent turn could reset the selected review or remount the diff and lose the reader's position. Refreshing a pull request could also leave later pages stale when its first page was unchanged.

Reproduce by opening a thread’s Diff panel, selecting Uncommitted, scrolling down, then sending another agent turn. The selection and scroll should stay in place; the old behavior reset the selected review or remounted the viewer. For PR pagination, keep the first page unchanged while changing a later page, then refresh: every displayed page should update.

Change

Preserve the selected review and viewer identity across same-thread updates, retain loaded file blocks by identity while replacements are pending, clear failed content, and refresh every displayed PR page before adopting the new set. Drafts and selections follow file content versions, and line input waits until Pierre displays the current version.

Scope

Replacement for #15671, which was closed for rebase conflicts. Preserves Jake Leventhal's and Julius Marminge's commits. Rebased onto upstream main at fd8e386f7f259070899553e55c99a2a49a378480; keeps main's newer navigation retention, commit diffs, folding, scroll restoration, and cached parsing. The rebase repair also preserves both blocks when a regular file becomes a symlink.

The original PR tracks this bug and its reproduction; no separate issue is linked. This replacement was requested by the author after the original closed for rebase conflicts. It preserves the existing review workflow rather than adding a new one.

Verification

Validation at dd220d04270a: TMPDIR=/private/tmp vp run check:changed --concurrency 2 passed formatting, lint, both Knip checks, affected web/scripts typechecks, 47 tests across seven files, and eight selected React Compiler cases. Chromium is installed and the browser suites now run normally.

The parent reproduced a refresh race in Chromium: committing a new refresh token together with the first page’s response could let the previous walk advance after its reset, leaving only the second page. The cursor updater now verifies that the staged page still belongs to the current refresh walk. The 41-file, two-page regression failed before the guard and passes now, including another refresh afterward; all eight Code-tab browser cases pass.

The existing type-change regression also failed before the retention repair and passes afterward. Two fresh Codex reviews covered the original replacement; the second found no remaining blockers after repairs. CI and automated rechecks on the new head are pending. Human review remains required for the lint suppression identified in the original PR.

The line-link refresh regression also failed before correction: a pending URL settled against the retained pre-refresh slices. Link settlement now waits for the refreshed walk. The existing 41-file refresh case verifies both deferral and settlement after completion; all eight Code-tab browser cases pass.

Fresh integrated web proof on the same changes before the pure rebase: an isolated real Git repository with 20 edited lines, using the free Replay provider. Uncommitted remained selected at scrollTop 1200 before and after a second completed turn. The rebase changes only the base (all 17 patches unchanged). Electron, remote/tunnel, explicit timeline retention through a turn, and hosted PR refresh were not separately driven in this pass.

Before next turn After next turn
Uncommitted at 1200px before turn Uncommitted at 1200px after turn

Current client recording · Observed state and limitations

Historical evidence from #15671, recorded before this rebase (not fresh verification):

Before refresh After refresh
Historical before: refresh loses scroll Historical after: Uncommitted retains scroll

Implemented and reviewed with GPT-6.1-Sol in T3 Code through the Codex harness.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change preserves review selection and scroll during refreshes and guards comments against stale file versions. It also adds a react/set-state-in-effect lint suppression in PullRequestCodeTab.tsx:634 that requires human review.

Walkthrough

Review diff loading and pull-request refresh behavior now retain eligible displayed content during updates. Comment drafts and line selections are tied to file content and review scope, and stale or unrendered content cannot be used to submit comments.

Changes: Review Diff State

Layer / File(s) Summary
Review diff loading and retention

Lazy patch requests use review scope, load files in batches, and retain eligible loaded files during pending updates. DiffPanel uses successful preview data, passes refresh state to the code view, and includes patch family in its key.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(web): keep review tab and scroll across agent turns" matches the main change: the PR preserves the selected review and diff-viewer identity across same-thread agent-turn updates, so the review tab and scroll position survive. It follows the conventional commit format from the template and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has the Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. The Problem section gives the expected behavior and reproduction steps. The Change section explains the fix. The Scope section links the replaced PR #15671 and explains the rebase and why no separate issue exists. The Verification section lists the commands run, the observed results, the failing-before and passing-after regressions, and the known limitations (Electron, remote/tunnel, and hosted PR refresh were not driven). It also names the model and harness used. Visual evidence is included as before/after screenshots and recordings, with a note that the PR-#15671 evidence is historical. Minor gaps remain: the Change section does not explain why the viewer-identity and draft-anchoring changes are needed across components, and some evidence links point to external file-drop hosts instead of GitHub uploads as the template asks. Neither gap makes the description largely incomplete.

defer settling diff links while `sliceState.refreshing` is non-null. Let the
effect run after refresh completes so the link is resolved against the refreshed
diff rather than retained pre-refresh slices.

An agent turn rebuilds the thread shell, and the completed-turn path always
selected Changes. A review left on Uncommitted therefore snapped back on every
turn. Keep the current scope while the diff stays open on the same thread, and
select Changes only when the diff newly opens.
A new diff hash remounted the viewer and dropped the pages already on screen, so an agent turn sent the reader back to the top of Uncommitted, Changes, and pull request review.

A refresh that left the first page unchanged never fetched the pages after it, and a failed file patch stayed on screen as the current diff.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
The diff viewer now keys its mount on the patch family, so the scope
destructured from useReviewFilePatches was left unused after the rebase.
