From 659b8f9c34c6b217a36b21dad17420af59bd4f8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: npub1mn7jgtj4w2pd0g0zeuhxsa6jy6p0rewxz4kujt98my82ahfmp72sxjexk7 Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 12:17:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat(desktop): re-land timeline virtualization on current main Port the virtualized timeline subsystem onto main's day-group render structure, re-threading the read-marker work through the virtualized rows. main builds every row synchronously on first mount, so cold channel-switch cost climbs with channel depth; virtualization renders only the visible window, making cost independent of depth. Ports timelineItems/scrollConvergence (+ lib tests), useLoadOlderOnScroll, useConvergentScrollToMessage, and the virtualizer-index restore in useAnchoredScroll. main's unread-counter fix is preserved, confined to the unread-count increment block. The two perf-hoist props the reference branch passed into MessageRow are dropped: virtualization already bounds rendered rows to the visible window, so the hoist optimizes a cost the mechanism eliminates, and MessageRow stays untouched.

The fix portals the header into a non-scrolling overlay container outside the scroll element (mirroring the unread-pill overlay), so it pins to a fixed offset regardless of scroll position and cannot move as content prepends above the anchor. The per-scroll re-render that resolves the topmost visible day stays localized to VirtualizedList rather than forcing MessageTimeline to re-render on every scroll.

Rows mount estimate-sized and measure to real height on scroll, so the raw `scrollTo(scrollHeight)` mount pin landed short and `scrollHeight` grew as off-screen rows measured. Drive the mount bottom-pin through `virtualizer.scrollToIndex(lastIndex, {align:"end"})` so TanStack lands the true last row through its own measurement. Arm the existing settle-guard on smooth `scrollToBottom` too — an animated jump is not atomic, so a mid-animation `onScroll` latched a stale mid-history anchor that the ResizeObserver then restored. Teach the prepend-restore loop to re-aim at the bottom when the user abandons to bottom mid-restore, and the all-gone fallback to keep a windowed-out anchor (vs. only pinning on genuine deletion). The teleport spec's `scrollHeight <= baseline+100` setup proxy assumed the non-virtualized contract (scrollHeight changes only on DOM adds); a virtualizer grows `getTotalSize()` from lazy measurement alone. Replace it with the direct in-flight signal the suite already keys on. Seed loops that omitted `createdAt` collided on one whole-second stamp and sorted by random UUID, so the asserted last/target row landed at a random index often outside the virtualized window — make them monotonic to match the file's own channel-intro seed precedent.

The virtualization re-land moved the divider and first row into the translateY track while the intro stays a flex sibling, so the two gaps are no longer comparable quantities. The fix had collapsed the oracle to bare non-overlap (>= 0 on both gaps), which gutted the layout-regression guard the test exists to provide. Source measurement showed the intro -> divider gap is the layout-controlled 8px and rock-stable, while the divider -> message gap is ~0 by construction (virtualizer rows are back-to-back) plus MessageRow avatar/font render jitter, genuinely variable run-to-run. So band the stable gap (8 +/- 2) as the real guard and keep the variable one as a non-overlap reading-order check. Renamed to match what it now verifies.
