Note

🤖 Claude Fable 5.1 on behalf of Oliver

ELI5

You cite some assistant text, start typing a comment, click somewhere else, and the comment is gone. Now clicking away saves what you typed.

Problem

The citation comment lives only in the popover's local state and is written to the chip on Save or Cmd+Enter. Clicking outside goes through Base UI's outside-press close, which unmounts the editor without saving. The chip stays in the prompt with no comment, so it looks attached while the words are lost. Escape and Cancel go through the explicit cancel path, so they behave as expected.

Fix

  • The chip keeps the unsaved draft in a ref and commits it when the popover closes for any reason other than Escape.
  • Nothing is saved when the draft equals the stored comment, so a plain click-away on an untouched popover makes no history entry.
  • A draft over the length limit cancels the close so the "shorten comment" error stays visible, matching the disabled Save button.
  • Losing the cited source while typing also commits the draft before closing.
  • The dismissal decision is a pure helper with a unit test; the component wiring is unchanged otherwise.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes

  • Unsaved citation comments are preserved when the editor is dismissed by clicking outside or moving focus away.
  • Edited drafts are saved when appropriate, including comments cleared by the user.
  • Pressing Escape discards unsaved changes.
  • Overly long comments or failed saves keep the editor open for correction.
  • Drafts are settled when the citation source is no longer available.

Tests

  • Added coverage for citation comment dismissal and draft-saving behavior.

Typing a comment in the citation popover and clicking elsewhere unmounted the editor and dropped the text, while the chip stayed in the prompt. Dismissal now commits the draft; Escape and Cancel still discard, and an over-length draft keeps the popover open so the error stays visible.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 0e77c4f

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused web bug fix that preserves edited citation comments on ordinary popover dismissal, with explicit discard and length-limit handling covered by tests. Its runtime impact is confined to the existing citation editor and save path, without schema, infrastructure, security, billing, or default changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The citation comment editor captures unsaved drafts and resolves popover dismissal reasons. Changed drafts are saved, Escape discards drafts, and over-length drafts keep the popover open.

Changes

Citation draft dismissal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dismissal resolution contract and tests
apps/web/src/components/chat/assistantCitationCommentDismissal.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/assistantCitationCommentDismissal.test.ts
Adds dismissal result types and resolves drafts as commit, close, or keep-open. Tests cover outside press, focus out, unchanged drafts, empty drafts, Escape, and over-length drafts.
Draft capture and popover integration
apps/web/src/components/chat/AssistantCitationCommentEditor.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/AssistantCitationChip.tsx
Reports draft text on each keystroke and settles the draft during popover close and source-unavailable events. Rejected saves keep the popover open.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0e77c

Removing a cited source while a comment exceeds the allowed length can close the editor and hide its validation error, leaving users without a clear way to correct the draft. This is a bounded interaction issue that should be addressed before relying on the new dismissal behavior.
