- Migrate sidebar session groups, git changes panel, virtualized code
blocks, and JSON tree viewer from virtua to @tanstack/react-virtual;
virtua remains only inside the Pierre diff viewer integration
- Sidebar: preserve scroll position when virtualization enables
mid-session (enable only once the ancestor scroll element is resolved,
seed initial offset from its live scrollTop, render plain rows for the
single pre-paint frame); disable native scroll anchoring on the
sessions scroller; keep row spacing identical between plain and
virtualized modes; absolute row positioning so variable-height rows
cannot drift past the container
- Chat: expand tool/thinking blocks downward by only adjusting scroll
for rows growing above the viewport; raise the desktop history-load
lead to 1.5 viewports so prepends land above the visible area
- Git changes: compute the prefetch window from the first visible row,
skipping overscan rows above the viewport
- Sidebar rows: make the whole highlighted row area clickable, guarded
against double-firing from interactive children
Route all non-markdown code highlighting through the off-main-thread Shiki
worker, removing react-syntax-highlighter and prismjs entirely.
- Extend the worker with highlightLines: tokenize a whole block once and return
per-line inner HTML, so per-line layouts (diffs, gutters, virtualization) make
one worker call instead of one highlighter per line.
- Add shared WorkerHighlightedCode (whole-block) and useWorkerHighlightedLines
(per-line) primitives. Colors resolve via the --md-syntax-* CSS variables, so
theme changes never re-highlight.
- Migrate all 12 react-syntax-highlighter call sites: PermissionCard,
ToolPart, ContextSidebarTab, ToolOutputDialog (whole block) and
DiffPreview/WritePreview (per line).
- Migrate VirtualizedCodeBlock off prismjs to the worker, keeping virtua
virtualization; whole-block tokenization also restores cross-line syntax
context that per-line highlighting lost.
- Drop react-syntax-highlighter (+types) from ui and web, prismjs (+types) from
ui, and the orphaned create-element type shim.
