Description

Adds resizable Kanban columns that share available space evenly while preserving horizontal scrolling and hiding the resize control for collapsed columns.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Code refactoring
  • Performance improvements
  • Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

Recording.green.2026-09-02.231939.mp4

Test Scenarios

Open an ordinary Kanban view with several columns.

  1. Click the resize button on one column and confirm it fills the available remaining width.
  2. Click resize on a second and third column. Confirm all expanded columns share the available width equally without widening the overall view.
  3. Confirm unexpanded columns remain at their normal width and horizontal scrolling still works when there are more columns than fit onscreen.
  4. Collapse a column and confirm its resize button disappears while the collapse/restore button remains available.
  5. Restore the column and confirm the resize button reappears in the correct position with equal spacing between the header controls.

References

Fixes #9677

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added controls to expand or collapse grouped columns and subgroups in Kanban views.
    • Group expansion state is maintained while loading additional issues.
  • Usability Improvements

    • Expanded columns now use available board space, while collapsed columns remain compact.
    • Kanban layouts make more effective use of the board width, improving visibility across grouped columns.

View

  • Architecture lens
  • Data flow lens
  • Expand every detail
  • Show unchanged neighbours

Tip

PR Lens is free for open source. A star on the repository is what keeps it going.

🪧 More tips
  • Run PR Lens on your own machine: npx skills add coldteadotai/pr-lens installs the agent skill. Then tell your coding agent: "Diagram the change you just made with PR Lens and attach it to the pull request."
  • Draw a diff before it is even a pull request: npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli analyze --base origin/main reads the diff with your own model key, and npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli render .pr-lens/graph.json draws the same lenses on your machine.
  • The boxes under View are live. Tick Architecture lens or Data flow lens to choose which diagrams appear, or Expand every detail to open every drill-down at once. The comment redraws in place a few seconds later.
  • Show unchanged neighbours lists the components this change did not touch alongside the ones it did, so the drill-down shows what the changed code sits next to.
  • GitHub will not let you zoom an image in a comment. The link under each diagram opens it full size on a page of its own, where you can.
  • The CLI's render picks up .github/pr-lens.yml automatically and applies your corrections (renames, exclusions, lane pins) at draw time.
  • Would you rather run it from CI on a key of your own? Add .github/workflows/pr-lens.yml with coldteadotai/pr-lens/packages/action@v0 and a model key in your repository secrets, say GEMINI_API_KEY. The Action asks Gemini by default, or OpenAI and any endpoint speaking /chat/completions through its provider input.
  • Push a new commit and the whole comment re-renders for the new head. An older run never overwrites a newer one, so a slow render cannot put a stale diagram back.
  • The diagrams follow your GitHub theme, so dark mode gets the dark render and light mode the light one, and the moving dots show this pull request's data in motion.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Kanban board now tracks expanded group IDs, provides a group header toggle, and changes expanded columns to fill available width. The expansion state passes through Kanban and swimlane components.

Changes

Kanban group expansion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expansion state and prop contract
apps/web/core/components/issues/issue-layouts/kanban/base-kanban-root.tsx, apps/web/core/components/issues/issue-layouts/kanban/default.tsx, apps/web/core/components/issues/issue-layouts/kanban/swimlanes.tsx
The root component manages expanded group IDs and passes the state and toggle callback through Kanban and swimlane components. The issue-fetch dependency and callback naming were updated, and the drop-target payload was reformatted.
Expanded column sizing
apps/web/core/components/issues/issue-layouts/kanban/default.tsx, apps/web/core/components/issues/issue-layouts/kanban/base-kanban-root.tsx
Expanded groups use flexible width. Collapsed groups retain a fixed width. The outer containers use full width.
Group header toggle
apps/web/core/components/issues/issue-layouts/kanban/headers/group-by-card.tsx, apps/web/core/components/issues/issue-layouts/kanban/default.tsx, apps/web/core/components/issues/issue-layouts/kanban/swimlanes.tsx
Group headers show an expansion toggle when they are not vertically aligned. The toggle reports the group ID and displays the current expansion icon.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d12a2

This change adds expandable Kanban column sizing so displayed columns can use available space while retaining horizontal scrolling. No concrete merge-blocking risk is identified.

for non-swimlane columns.

activating it will expand or collapse the group. Keep the existing
