Interim: still watching pull request #36315; no code change so far, head unchanged. Completed checks pass (Test, Build and Typecheck, six Test Server shards, Macroscope Correctness Check); Test Web 1, Test Web 2 and CodeRabbit were still in progress. Two comments arrived and neither is a finding rated high or above: the github-actions test-delta note (+1 browser, +3 unit) is informational, and the browser test stays because it covers real pointer capture and layout in the mounted component and fails on main's component; Macroscope's approvability verdict 'Needs Human Approval' is a routing decision citing the lint suppression on the blur/unmount effect, which is the repository's documented form for an effect that synchronizes with something outside React. No line comments or reviews were posted.

Supersedes #22999. The change is @juliusmarminge's; their commits are kept.

Reproduction on main

In the desktop or web client, open a browser preview in a thread and collapse the right panel so it floats over chat. Grab a resize corner and drag, then interrupt the gesture by switching focus to another window while holding the button; release there and return to hover over the resize handle without pressing. Main can continue resizing from stale gesture state; this PR ends the gesture on blur and ignores subsequent movement. Separately, change the browser source viewport dimensions during a held northwest resize and inspect the aspect ratio and anchored bottom edge; the current PR still adopts the live source ratio. These steps were derived from the issue and source, not executed.

Evidence

Environment: headed Chromium 156 under Xvfb, 1280×800, light theme; fresh synthetic replay data on both commits.

Steps: Open a browser preview and float it over chat. Hold the northwest resize handle, drag, switch focus to a separate browser window, release there, return, and move over the handle with no button pressed. Separately, change the source viewport from 1000×700 to 700×1000 during a held northwest resize, continue moving, and release. The driver verifies separate windows, real blur, and buttons=0 on return.

Proven: base continues resizing on buttonless movement, changing from 395×277 to 471×330 and moving upward. Head preserves the frame. Base also adopts the changed source ratio during the held gesture; head preserves the held ratio and anchored bottom edge until release. scenarios:prove exited 0.

Not shown:

• Electron shell and touch-specific lost-capture paths were not exercised; this proof covers mouse resizing in the real web client.

Tests

None locally in this pass; read check runs, reviews and comments over the REST API.

Not in this change

• Capturing fractional rendered geometry from the DOM at pointerdown (in the original PR): not taken, because the frame the gesture starts from is the same rounded layout frame the element is rendered at, so there is no mismatch to correct.
• During a held resize the stream content can briefly letterbox inside the held frame if the source changes shape; it settles on release. Left as is, since following the source mid-gesture is the reported bug.
• A physical release outside the window with no later pointer event and no blur is ended only by the next move without the button or the next pointerdown; no extra global listener was added.
• Sizing, placement, composer inset and details-card behaviour (the subject of fix(web): keep floating previews stable after resizing #25029 and the closed fix(web): stabilize floating preview movement and resizing #16831) are unchanged.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change preserves the floating preview’s shape during resizing and ends gestures when interrupted. It also adds a lint suppression for the cleanup effect, which requires human assessment of whether the diagnostic bypass is warranted.

Walkthrough

The mini-player now uses shared helpers to process pointer gestures and settle resize frames when the preview source changes. It holds the source size during resizing and completes gestures on pointer release, lost capture, window blur, or component cleanup.

Changes: Mini-player gesture handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Gesture stepping and resize settling apps/web/src/components/preview/previewMiniPlayerGesture.ts, apps/web/src/components/preview/previewMiniPlayerGesture.test.ts	The new helpers filter pointer events, handle drag and resize movement, and settle resize frames when the source shape changes. Unit tests cover pointer filtering, gesture completion, and resize settling.
Mini-player gesture lifecycle apps/web/src/components/preview/ThreadPreviewMiniPlayer.tsx, apps/web/src/components/preview/ThreadPreviewMiniPlayer.browser.test.tsx	The mini-player holds the resize source size during a gesture and centralizes gesture cleanup and resize settling. Browser tests cover source orientation changes, buttonless pointer movement, and window blur.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Low · up to 27e5c

The floating preview resize fix works for its main flows. In a rare case, a second pointer pressing a resize handle while a resize is held and the source shape has changed can make the preview briefly jump back to its earlier geometry. This is minor and can be fixed locally before or soon after merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: floating preview resize now holds its source-derived shape and ends the gesture when interrupted. It matches the summarized changes to resize holding, settling, and gesture cleanup on blur, lost capture, and unmount. The fix(web) conventional prefix fits the template guidance.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The only linked issue, #16831, is closed. The linked-issue context marks it as historical context only, so it supplies no active directly linked target. No active linked-issue coding requirements apply, so this check passes. The PR implements its own stated goals (held resize source shape, gesture cleanup on release, blur, lost capture, unmount, and buttonless move), but those goals come from the PR description, not from an active issue requirement.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed files are all in apps/web/src/components/preview/: ThreadPreviewMiniPlayer.tsx, previewMiniPlayerGesture.ts, and their tests. The PR description and raw summary both describe these changes as limited to floating-preview resize and gesture behavior. The description also states that sizing, placement, composer inset, and details-card behavior are unchanged, and the raw summary lists no contract, provider, server, or style changes. The browser test and unit tests support the same resize and gesture behavior. No change was found that lacks a connection to that behavior. The mergeBase diff was not read directly; this verdict relies on the whole-PR summary and description.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description supplies a clear problem and change for PR #36315 (floating preview resize holds its shape and ends when interrupted), with reproduction steps, a before/after evidence table, and a list of what was not verified. The Problem, Change, Scope, Verification and attribution parts are present in substance, though the template's section headings are not used and the description is long and mixes in status updates. Notable gaps: the Scope section does not state why no issue is linked beyond a reference to a superseded PR (#22999) and a closed issue (#16831), and the Tests section says none were run locally, which conflicts with the Verification guidance that focused tests be described. The PR objectives say the author reported tests passing, so the description and objectives disagree on this point. Its interim status, and the test-delta and Macroscope comments, are not needed in a merge description. The description also says the author-side proof was not executed in a real client, which contradicts the Evidence section that claims a headed Chromium run. Those contradictions need clarifying, but the description is mostly complete.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Start the next gesture from the settled frame.

If a resize is still active when a second pointer goes down on the handle, and the source has changed shape, finishGesture() stores the settled frame. beginGesture then keeps the pre-settle render-time frame in gestureRef. The next resize move starts from that stale frame, so it can discard the settled size and position and jump the player back to the pre-settle geometry.

Return the settled frame from finishGesture() and use it as the start frame of the new gesture.
