fix(mobile): a focused feed input stays below the header when the keyboard opens - #36299
Rebuilt from origin/main as one commit; the first attempt's branch was not continued because its approach was the reviewers' open finding: it kept a measured input across keyboard dismissal and judged staleness by screen Y. Cause: on iOS the thread feed rests at its end, so react-native-keyboard-controller's useChatKeyboard onStart lifts it by the full keyboard height for any focused input; for an input inside the feed (the secure-entry card) on a short display that carries the focused input under the thread header. Fix, in the existing pnpm patch of react-native-keyboard-controller 1.23.0 (iOS useChatKeyboard in src, lib/module and lib/commonjs, plus types) and one prop in ThreadFeed.tsx: when the keyboard opens for an input whose parent scroll view is this list, the lift is capped at contentY - obscuredStartInset, so the feed rises only until the input's top reaches the header; never below the pre-keyboard position, and only when that is less than the normal lift. ThreadFeed passes anchorTopInset as the new obscuredStartInset prop (default 0). contentY is the input's position in the content, which does not depend on the scroll offset, and it is read fresh from the focused-input event on each keyboard open, so nothing measured survives a dismissal. The only new state is liftShortfall, the part of the lift withheld; the next transition subtracts it so it undoes exactly what was applied, and it is cleared on every transition and after a frozen one. In the reviewers' scenario (dismiss, 400 pt of end-following growth, refocus the same input at Y=468) the cap does not bind and the feed gets the full lift, as on main; the second test covers this. Composer focus, persistent lift, interactive dismissal, inverted lists and Android are unchanged. Taken from the original after checking: the prop name and ThreadFeed wiring, matching the input by parentScrollViewTarget against findNodeHandle of the scroll view, and the test's dynamic import of the library source. Not verified on a device in this step: the patch changes the iOS native fingerprint and needs a new dev client. Two things for the proof step to confirm on device: that the Legend list's end-following does not override the capped offset, and that parentScrollViewTarget resolves to the feed's scroll view for the secret card input. No open pull request exists for the pushed branch, so there was nothing to watch.
On an iPhone Duo outer display at 466×678 points, open a thread and ask its agent to call request_secret with a dummy secret request. With the feed at its end, tap the pending secure-entry input to open the keyboard. Compare whether the input disappears underneath the thread header on main versus remaining visible with this change; type dummy text, dismiss the keyboard, and focus it again to inspect restoration. Use each revision's matching native client because the dependency patch changes the native fingerprint. These steps come from the supplied reproduction and were not executed during screening.

Tests
vp test run src/features/keyboard/chatKeyboardFeedInput.test.tsx src/features/keyboard/keyboardControllerState.test.tsx (apps/mobile): 4 passed. The 2 new tests run against main's patch: both fail (expected 1702 to be 1522). vp run check:changed: pass (unused patches, format, lint, knip, typecheck of 41 packages, test 2 files, react compiler); lint reports one warning (react(globals)) in the new test for capturing the hook result during render. No device run.
Not in this change
When the cap binds, the card heading above the focused input is still clipped under the header and the action buttons below it show only as far as the space above the keyboard allows; on a 678 pt display the whole card does not fit, so this does not fully resolveMobile prompts clip above the thread header on the Duo outer display #32377.
The structured question card over the composer is unchanged; it sizes itself from the keyboard frame and is a different layer.
The original also kept the input's bottom above the keyboard and composer for a feed not at its end, defaulted the header inset to the content inset, and handled the persistent-lift and frozen cases with a recorded signed shift; none of that is rebuilt, since a feed not at its end is not lifted on main and that state was the source of the stale-measurement finding.
Android (useChatKeyboard/index.ts) is untouched.

On iOS the thread feed rests at its end, so the chat scroll view lifted it by
the full keyboard height for any focused input. That is right for the
composer. For an input inside the feed, such as the secure-entry card, on a
short display it carried the focused input under the thread header.
The keyboard-controller patch now caps the lift for an input whose parent
scroll view is the feed: the feed lifts only until the input's top reaches
the header, whose height ThreadFeed passes as obscuredStartInset. The cap is
computed on each keyboard open from the input's position in the content,
which does not depend on the scroll offset, and the hook records only how
much of the lift it withheld so the next transition undoes what was applied.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This adjusts iOS keyboard scrolling so a focused feed input stays below the header, while tracking the reduced lift for later transitions. The impact is limited to transient input visibility and scroll positioning.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
The iOS chat keyboard handling now accounts for inset compensation and can limit lift based on the focused input’s position. The thread feed supplies its top inset to this handling. New tests cover feed-input and composer focus, keyboard dismissal, and content growth.
Changes: iOS keyboard lift handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Inset contracts and scroll-view plumbing patches/react-native-keyboard-controller@1.23.0.patch
The scroll-view props and hook options add inset-compensation values and an obscured start inset. The scroll-view builds forward these values, report effective iOS padding, and pass presentation height to frozen-padding handling.
Focused-input lift and offset calculations patches/react-native-keyboard-controller@1.23.0.patch
The iOS hook tracks the focused input and scroll view. It applies inset compensation, caps lift at the obscured start, and adjusts non-inverted offset limits. Keyboard events also update presentation height.
Thread feed wiring and keyboard tests apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadFeed.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/keyboard/chatKeyboardFeedInput.test.tsx, apps/mobile/vite.config.ts
The thread feed passes anchorTopInset as the obscured start inset. Tests cover focus, dismissal, refocusing, and content growth. The Vite React test project includes the new test file.

This change limits how far the iOS keyboard lifts the thread feed so a focused secure-entry input stays below the header. Two issues remain. A scroll position can be wrong after an interactive keyboard dismissal. The list's end-following may also undo the cap, leaving the input under the header in some cases. Neither breaks existing behavior outside this narrow flow, but the fix should be confirmed on a device before it is relied on.

Explanation
The title names the main change: a focused feed input on iOS is kept below the thread header when the keyboard opens. The changeset adds a keyboard-controller patch that caps the lift for a focused input inside the feed, plus an obscuredStartInset prop in ThreadFeed.tsx and tests for that behavior. The title uses the conventional commit format and is specific. The PR description says the fix does not fully resolve issue #32377, but the title describes the narrower fix the PR actually makes, so it is not misleading.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template in structure and most content. It has a Problem section and a Change section with a clear explanation of the cause and the fix. It has a Scope section that links the related issue #32377 and the superseded PR #32424, and it states that the change is a bug fix. It has a Verification section with the focused test command, the test results, the check:changed result, and a note that no device run was done. The Evidence section is a placeholder that says the before and after proof is still being captured. The template asks for before and after screenshots for UI changes, so this section is incomplete. The description also has a long history of how the branch was rebuilt, which is not part of the template. These gaps are not critical to the core check, so the description is mostly complete.

Explanation
Directly linked issue #32377 requires that structured-question and secure-entry prompts keep their heading, input, and submit/save/decline actions reachable in the available pane, including keyboard transitions. The PR changes only the iOS useChatKeyboard lift for a focused feed input (secure-entry card) and passes anchorTopInset as obscuredStartInset in ThreadFeed.tsx. Per the PR description, when the cap binds the card heading stays clipped under the header and the action buttons show only as far as the space above the keyboard allows. The PR states the whole card does not fit on a 678 pt display. The structured-question card is explicitly unchanged. The PR description therefore leaves concrete parts of #32377 unmet. The two new tests cover only the focused input offset (expected 1702 to be 1522). No device verification has been done. Evidence is from the PR description and the supplied change summary; no repository inspection was performed.
Resolution
Extend the change so that, with the keyboard open, the full secure-entry card (heading, input, and actions) stays reachable within the available pane on a 678 pt display, not only the input top. Cover the structured-question card under the same keyboard transitions, or document with evidence why it is excluded from #32377. Add tests that assert heading and action visibility, not only the input offset. Provide device evidence for the Duo outer display case.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The stated purpose is a narrow cap on the lift for a focused feed input, plus a ThreadFeed prop and tests. The supplied change summary of patches/react-native-keyboard-controller@1.23.0.patch (+317/-56) also lists behavior changes that the PR description does not mention and that do not follow from the cap. These include: treating floating or minimized keyboards as hidden with a deferred hide event; listening for keyboard frame changes; a new keyboardDidShow state update; scroll-indicator padding that now uses keyboard padding alone; new adjustedInsetCompensation, adjustedStartInsetCompensation, and currentHeight inputs; onContentInsetChange reporting; and negative offsets in computeIOSContentOffset. The PR description says composer focus, persistent lift, interactive dismissal, and inverted lists are unchanged, and it also says the inset-compensation and recorded-shift handling is not rebuilt. The summary and the description conflict. No diff hunk was inspected, so it cannot be determined whether these changes are required by the cap or are unrelated. The ignored lockfile pnpm-lock.yaml is excluded and was not used as evidence. Tests and the vite.config.ts test registration are in scope.
Resolution
Provide the diff hunks for the patch's keyboard-frame, floating-keyboard, keyboardDidShow, scroll-indicator, and inset-compensation changes. Show that each one is required by the capped lift, or remove those that are not. Alternatively, update the PR description to state their purpose and the behavior they change, and add tests for the non-cap behavior they alter.

Major · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift
End-following can move the capped offset back to the bottom.
While the feed follows the end, a layout or item-size update can call scrollToEnd in @legendapp/list. That write is not gated by obscuredStartInset. If it runs after the keyboard lift cap has been applied, the focused input can move back under the header.
The new tests do not mount KeyboardAwareLegendList. They cannot detect this interaction.
Keep the cap in effect while the focused input is capped. Options include disabling maintainScrollAtEnd in the same way jumpReady does, or otherwise preventing the end-follow path from restoring the bottom offset. Add a test that mounts KeyboardAwareLegendList, starts at the end, focuses an input 200 points below the viewport top, opens a 300-point keyboard with an 80-point header, and then applies a layout update. The final lift should remain 120 points.

Keep the withheld lift until the unwind that uses it.
liftShortfall is cleared at the top of onStart, before the interactive-dismissal branch returns. That branch never reaches the unwind that reads prevShortfall. Any onStart after an interactive gesture takes this path, so the stored shortfall is lost while the applied lift remains. The next ordinary dismissal then unwinds the full padding instead of the applied lift. With padding 300, applied lift 120, and shortfall 180, the unwind subtracts 300 rather than 120. From a resting offset of 1402, the relative scroll becomes 1102 instead of 1282.
Move the read and reset to the point where the unwind is computed:

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
in the real app the problem is still there, and the rework changed nothing:
Not fixed; head unchanged at def9aaa and nothing pushed. The item is right: I reproduced it on a pooled iPhone Duo (folded, 466x678, iOS 27.2) with the cached client for fingerprint e1cb805a, an isolated dev server, and a replay thread whose agent called the real request_secret tool. Findings from the hook's debug log and screenshots: (1) The cap is computed and applied: the focused input matches the feed's scroll view (parentScrollViewTarget equals the scroll view tag), the first keyboard event (height 260.7) sets the capped offset and the scroll value follows it (-70 to 112.67 with an 80 pt margin), and the second event (keyboard grows to 299.07) undoes exactly the applied lift (relativeScroll back to -70), so the shortfall bookkeeping works. (2) Within three seconds the feed is at the full keyboard lift anyway, input top at about y=62 under the 70 pt header, in every run; with the original cap the capped position (input top at 70) is nearly the same place, which is why base and head looked alike in the proof. Something writes the offset after the hook. (3) The original design also hides the heading by construction, since it caps at the input's top; the header ends at 70 pt and the composer starts near 320 pt, so the 240 pt card fits if about 80 pt above the input is kept in view. (4) Tried: adding that 80 pt to obscuredStartInset plus a lower bound keeping the input's bottom above the composer, and turning maintainScrollAtEnd off while a feed input has focus via onFocus/onBlur on the feed's wrapper view. Focus does bubble there, but the state change lands after both keyboard events and the feed still ended at the full lift. Whether @legendapp/list end-following is the writer is unproven; candidates are that, the list's keyboard wrapper, and useExtraContentPadding. The next pass has to identify that write on a device and stop or re-cap it while a feed input is focused; the heading-space change in (3) is needed either way. CodeRabbit's Major finding (end-following overrides the cap) matches the symptom in (2), but the writer was not identified. Stopped because the pass ran well past its 60-minute budget. The pull request is not being watched.
It stays open for a person to finish or close.
