fix(webview): preserve prompt history draft while streaming - #1661
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Improved prompt-history navigation when assistant responses arrive during a conversation. Drafts and the current input are preserved when history has not changed, while navigation resets when the available prompts change.
Task history remains available when conversation history contains no prompts, preventing assistant-only messages from hiding saved prompts.
The prompt history hook now filters conversation prompts and tracks whether history comes from the conversation or task. It preserves navigation across assistant-only updates and resets navigation when history content or source changes.
Changes: Prompt history preservation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Synchronize prompt history and navigation webview-ui/src/components/chat/hooks/usePromptHistory.ts, webview-ui/src/components/chat/hooks/__tests__/usePromptHistory.spec.ts
The hook filters conversation messages to say and user_feedback entries with trimmed text. It uses task history when no conversation prompts exist. It updates prompt history only when its contents change, and resets the history index and temporary input when the content or source changes. Tests cover assistant-only updates and new conversation prompts.
Verify input restoration during streaming webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatTextArea.spec.tsx
Tests verify that ArrowDown restores the unsent draft or current input after an assistant message is added during history navigation.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2155: Adds a prompt-history picker in ChatTextArea and conversation prompts to usePromptHistory.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "fix(webview): preserve prompt history draft while streaming" matches the main change. The PR keeps the current draft and history index when assistant streaming updates clineMessages without a new user prompt, and it still resets navigation when the prompt history or its source changes. The title is specific and short. It uses a conventional-commit prefix, which is acceptable.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It links the issue (Fixes #1600), and it gives a summary of the implementation, a validation section with test results, and a note on the Node version. Several template sections are not filled in: the Pre-Submission Checklist is not ticked, the Documentation Updates choice is not made, and the Get in Touch section is empty. The Description section also does not describe any reviewer-focused trade-offs. The Visual Snapshots and Videos sections are correctly omitted because this is not a visual change. The core content needed for review is present, so the description is mostly complete.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #1600 requires Down navigation to return to the current draft after Up navigation during assistant processing. usePromptHistory now compares prompt contents and history source before resetting historyIndex and tempInput, so assistant-only messages do not reset navigation. It still resets navigation when prompt history changes. The added ChatTextArea and usePromptHistory tests cover assistant streaming, draft restoration, and history changes.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The whole-PR diff changes only usePromptHistory and tests for prompt-history navigation. The implementation and tests directly support issue #1600. No unrelated production or test changes are present.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
Focused regression coverage is present. usePromptHistory.spec.ts covers assistant-only updates preserving navigation, identical prompt source changes resetting navigation, and added conversation prompts resetting navigation. ChatTextArea.spec.tsx covers Arrow Up, streamed assistant updates, and Arrow Down restoring the draft for both task and conversation history. Existing tests cover empty history, filtering, source switching, and navigation boundaries. The pull request changes hook state logic only; it adds no durable visible UI that requires a Playwright snapshot.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
No changed path crosses a security boundary. usePromptHistory.ts only filters existing clineMessages and workspace-scoped taskHistory, then copies prompt text into the local text-area state through setInputValue. The change does not post data externally, execute prompt text, or bypass approval or allowlist checks. ChatTextArea.tsx calls onSend() only after an explicit Enter or button action; history navigation itself does not send a prompt.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
No changed persistence path exists. The PR changes in-memory React state in usePromptHistory (useState, useMemo, and useEffect) and calls setInputValue; it adds no storage, file, database, or persistence API operation. Therefore, the check's failure conditions for unawaited operations, non-atomic writes, missing rollback, or an unpropagated persisted default do not apply.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
PASS. The pull request changes prompt-history derivation and synchronous state synchronization only. The new useRef stores source state and the updated useEffect performs state comparisons and setters; it does not register listeners, watchers, providers, timers, tasks, or subscriptions. The only setTimeout in usePromptHistory is pre-existing and unchanged. The other changes are tests, so no changed lifecycle path can leak a resource or duplicate work after cancellation, disposal, or restart.

[warning] 76-76: Mutation test advisory
webview-ui/src/components/chat/hooks/usePromptHistory.ts:76: Survived MethodExpression mutant (replacement: promptHistory.every((prompt, index) => prompt !== filteredPromptHistory[index])). See the job summary for the complete list and resolution guidance.
Keep assistant-only streams in the task-history source.
When clineMessages is empty, filteredPromptHistory uses task history. ArrowUp stores the current input in tempInput. If the first streamed message is assistant-only, historySource changes to "conversation", filteredPromptHistory becomes [], and the effect resets historyIndex and tempInput. ArrowDown then cannot restore the draft because promptHistory.length is zero.
Derive historySource from the selected prompt source, not from any clineMessages entry. Keep task history selected until a user_feedback prompt exists, then switch to conversation. Removing only historySourceChanged is insufficient because historyChanged also resets the state. Add coverage for empty initial clineMessages, task-history navigation, an assistant-only stream, and Arrow Down restoration.

Add or strengthen a focused test that fails under the mutation. If the mutant is equivalent, request maintainer approval for the narrowest mutator-specific exclusion and explain why it cannot change behavior:
// Stryker disable next-line ConditionalExpression: normalized input cannot reach the alternate branch
const result = condition ? value : fallback
Broad all exclusions and exclusions without a concrete reason are reported as advisories.

The old if (clineMessages?.length) return [] guard is gone, so a fresh task (whose first prompt is stored as say: "text", not user_feedback) now falls back to workspace task history on ArrowUp. After the first follow-up, the list collapses to that one prompt. Is recalling other tasks' prompts here intended? If so, could the PR description mention it and a test cover "active task, no user_feedback, ArrowUp"? If not, would keeping the guard in the fallback and relying on the new source-change reset still fix #1600?
