The composer seat lives in a fixed-height conversation column with
overflow hidden, so a long question batch pushed the footer actions out
of reach (review r3635427112). The card now flexes with a viewport-
relative max-height, the option list is the scrollable region (ChatView
list pattern: min-height 0 + overflow-y auto), and header/footer are
flex-shrink 0 so progress, navigation, skip, submit, and cancel stay
reachable.
Verified in headless chromium against this sheet (900x600 viewport,
30-option batch): card capped at 360px (60vh), the option list scrolls
(scrollHeight > clientHeight), and the footer submit/skip buttons stay
inside the viewport. jsdom cannot assert layout; the playwright smoke
follow-up tracks composer scrolling with the existing debt.
AskUserQuestionItem.detail is part of the user-interaction seam contract
but the web frame schema dropped it and the composer never rendered it
(review r3635427108). askUserQuestionItemSchema now forwards detail, the
composer renders it under the title in the description text style, and
the fixture's multi-select question carries one.
ask() already fails EMPTY_QUESTIONS before a request exists, so a
question/requested frame with zero items is host breakage; muxFrameSchema
now refuses it instead of letting an undefined first question reach the
composer (review r3635427102).
Two hardenings on the chain outlet branch:
A throwing chain selector runs before its entry's SlotErrorBoundary
exists, so uncontained it blacked out the whole owner region and skipped
the remaining chain. It now degrades to a decline: reported via
console.error with the registrant identity, later entries still tried,
all-null/all-throw passes land on the owner fallback.
The elected entry's boundary is now keyed by entry identity: an unkeyed
boundary that failed on entry A survived a re-election and kept a
healthy entry B blacked out until the outlet unmounted. The key remounts
the boundary fresh whenever the election changes.
ClientContext types ctx.slots as always present (inject-declared service);
the unnecessary-condition lint rule rejects the dead guard and its
fail-loud test premise. Load-order failure still surfaces loud through
the undeclared-slot registration path, covered by the remaining case.
Restack the ask-user domain layer onto the carrier-chain architecture
branch. Conflict policy: runtime and ui-conversation take the
carrier-chain side (master sessions shape, dual-kind PendingCard,
'internal' envelope shell tests); the 'cancelled' wire code and its
semantics tests stay in apiproxy + ui-question (domain layer); the
smoke fixture keeps the nine-bundle success pass with the resident
question round over the carrier-chain first-describe shape.
Four rounds of structural rework on the conversation surface, converging
on one registration model for the whole client:
- Review fixes: open() leaves the inject factory (SessionsService owns
the semantic); ConversationService mounts via ctx.plugin(); the
bespoke view registry retires into the 'conversation.view' list slot.
- Ring alignment: createChatView factory retired (components get
everything through checkable shares at the register call site); the
hand-rolled t/i18n threading is deleted wholesale — a future
framework-level i18n will supply t as a standard prop keyed by slot
name, so no interim manual channel.
- Toolview dissolution: ToolViewRegistry / ToolViewResolver /
ToolViewOutlet / ctx.toolviews retire. Tool rows are entries of the
'conversation.chat.toolview' keyed slot (scope: session) declared by
the chat entry; ToolRowOwnerProps is the unified owner payload;
GenericToolCard becomes the call-site fallback; registrants are plain
plugins (inject ['slots','conversation'] as the load-order seam);
session-dimension dispatch moves into components (useSessions reads
parentId); trajectory/waterfall gain same-shape slots the day they
render tool rows (RendersCheck rejects empty declarations). Slot
names mirror the composition path (<domain>.<entry>.<hole>).
- Staging follows current: cell()/binding() are pure resolution
(render-safe); the constructor subscribes to the list store and
followCurrent opens the event window when the current session
changes — staging IS the open signal, business verbs are the timing,
React render/commit is decoupled from window lifecycle. A masked
current (projection gap) keeps the stage untouched so deferred
teardown semantics survive reconnects.
Agent Note: .agents/notes/implemented/architecture/
2026-07-23-toolview-dissolution.md (bilingual pair) records the
decision, the four rejected alternatives, and the accepted semantic
changes; the web client architecture note and packages/client/AGENTS.md
carry the current-state narrative.
Verified: typecheck 0, duplication 0 clones (478 files), full coverage
run 6190 passed with zero threshold errors, knip 0, doc-sync 24/24,
client aggregate tsc 0, render-count checks (one commit per chunk, zero
row re-renders under streaming) green.
