From 214a47ce270cc967fa80d49c7d1ea9fc8b05a5ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karen Lai <7976322+karkarl@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 13:49:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Fix chat scrollbar not reaching bottom during streaming via scroll anchoring While the agent is thinking/streaming, the last assistant row grows in place (no new Props.Entries, no ScrollToBottomToken bump, no reliable SizeChanged). The ItemsRepeater extent estimate climbs across realization frames, leaving the offset a few px short of the bottom with nothing to re-pin it -- the "scrollbar doesn't reach the bottom while the agent is thinking" bug. Replace the earlier reactive ViewChanged re-pin (which painted an intermediate short frame -> jitter, and whose programmatic ChangeView fought the user's own drag) with WinUI ScrollViewer scroll anchoring: - Set sv.VerticalAnchorRatio = 1.0 in the one-time ScrollViewer init so the bottom-most realized row stays glued to the viewport bottom BEFORE paint as the extent grows. The ViewChanged handler no longer re-pins; it only refreshes metrics and drives the load-earlier trigger. - QueuePreservePrependOffset toggles anchoring to NaN during the manual load-earlier delta correction and restores it to 1.0 afterward, with a fail-safe restore if a dispatcher enqueue is rejected or the correction throws. Discrete events (append, session switch, initial load, ScrollToBottom token) still use QueueScrollToBottom; anchoring only covers the in-place growth case. Known residual (acceptable temporary fix): slight jitter as the viewport expands during virtualization/streaming. Tracked on issue #996 (Reactor port).

Tests (tests/OpenClaw.Tray.UITests/ChatTimelineVirtualizationProofTests.cs): - UserScrolledUpDuringStreaming_KeepsReadingPositionStable: proves streaming growth of the off-screen newest row does NOT yank a scrolled-up user to the bottom (gap stays > FollowThreshold, reading position drift <= 24px across 4 revisions) - the "don't fight the scrollbar" half of the fix. - PrependHistory_PreservesOffset_AndRestoresBottomAnchoring: proves load-earlier prepend preserves the visible offset (shifts by inserted height) AND restores VerticalAnchorRatio to 1.0 (not left at the NaN disable sentinel), then a scroll-to-bottom token follows again end-to-end. Guards the highest-risk path that a fresh live recording cannot exercise. - Gap-value diagnostics logging on the streaming pin test (CHAT_TIMELINE_*). Determinism (UIThreadFixture.cs + test drain): - Add YieldToRenderAsync(): awaits one Low-priority dispatcher callback as a bounded render-queue drain primitive; completes immediately if the dispatcher rejects the enqueue so callers can never block. - Replace DrainRenderQueueAsync's single Task.Delay(50) with 6 bounded passes of UpdateLayout + YieldToRenderAsync + a 5ms floor. Docs (OpenClawChatTimeline.cs): - Expand the QueuePreservePrependOffset comment to document that double.NaN is the documented WinUI sentinel that disables anchoring (default value; 0.0 would anchor to the TOP edge, not disable), per the VerticalAnchorRatio contract. Validation: build.ps1 green; UITests project compiles clean (0 warn/err); Shared 2863 passed; Tray 1717 passed. UITests run on CI (they time out in the local harness); the 2 new tests are exercised by the ci.yml UITests job.

Replace the multi-pass QueuePass stabilization with: - A coalescing guard (scrollPinPendingRef) so host.SizeChanged enqueues at most one reactive pin at a time. Held across the synchronous pin window (which can re-enter SizeChanged) and released only in terminal paths. - An authoritative ViewChanged handler: a genuine user scroll past the abandon gap cancels the in-flight settle timer/pending pin and disables anchoring immediately; symmetric re-arm to 1.0 when back in the bottom band. - A single settle timer (converges on atBottom, hands off to VerticalAnchorRatio = 1.0) instead of parallel timers fighting over ChangeView. - A per-render anchoring gate: VerticalAnchorRatio = following ? 1.0 : NaN, deferring to any pin/prepend that owns the ratio for its async window. Prepend: our FunctionalUI reconciler full-remounts every Entry (#996), which destroys the element the platform chose as the bottom anchor, so leaving VerticalAnchorRatio = 1.0 re-pinned a scrolled-up reader to the NEW bottom (offset 2528 -> 8531, gap 0). QueuePreservePrependOffset now disables anchoring and manually re-seats the offset by the measured inserted height instead, keeping the reader in the middle band (not reset to top, not dragged to bottom). Also update the ChatTimelineVirtualizationContractTests source-text assertions to the current mechanism and relax the prepend proof's anchoring assertion to the dynamic model (NaN while scrolled up, or 1.0 at bottom). Removed dead DIAG diagnostics and the unused FollowToBottomExtentEpsilon constant. Validation: build.ps1 green; Shared 2863 passed/31 skipped; Tray 1717 passed; UITests ChatTimelineVirtualizationProofTests 5/5; contract tests 3/3.

This happened because: 1. The timer ticks every 16ms and calls PinToBottom each tick 2. PinToBottom's ChangeView could apply before ViewChanged processed the user's scroll, masking the user's intent 3. The existing ViewChanged moderate-cancel clause races with timer ticks Fix: add a two-layer detection in the timer tick handler: Layer 1 (isFollowingRef gate): Check isFollowingRef.Current at the top of each tick AND after UpdateLayout. When the user's ChangeView applies, ViewChanged fires → UpdateScrollMetrics sets isFollowing=false (gap > 60). If this happens before/during the tick, we catch it immediately and abandon without calling PinToBottom. Layer 2 (pinConfirmed + delta): After confirming that PinToBottom successfully converged (offset reached within FollowThreshold of ScrollableHeight), track the confirmed offset. If a subsequent tick sees the pre-layout offset dropped by > 200px from the confirmed position, the user scrolled between ticks. The 200px threshold exceeds the maximum observed WinUI ItemsRepeater re-estimation drift (~140px) to avoid false-positive abandonment during normal extent convergence. Add WinUI UI proof test: ModerateScrollUpDuringSettleTimer_IsNotRepinned verifies that a 400px scroll-up during active settle timer is not re-pinned across 4 streaming revisions.

The isFollowingRef check at the top of each tick (and after UpdateLayout) is the correct source of truth: when the user scrolls, ViewChanged → UpdateScrollMetrics sets isFollowingRef=false, and the next tick observes it immediately. The offset-based delta duplicated this signal with worse reliability (could misclassify ItemsRepeater re-estimation drift). Keep both mechanisms: 1. Timer-tick isFollowingRef gate (essential, proven by red/green mutation) 2. ViewChanged moderate-cancel clause (supplementary early cancellation) Red/green mutation proof: - Both disabled → test FAILS (gap=0, timer re-pins user scroll) ❌ - Timer-tick isFollowingRef alone → test PASSES ✅ - Both together → test PASSES ✅ Strengthen test: bounded poll confirms settle timer is active (anchoring=NaN) before simulating user scroll, eliminating timing dependency on Task.Delay.
