fix(web): keep composer banners compact and readable

[Bil0000]

What changed

Long questions could extend above the screen, and notice text and task progress competed for space above the composer.

This bounds question lists with the existing scroll area, keeps notice titles and details on one line with full details in a scrollable popover, and right-aligns actions when they wrap. Task progress bars respond to the composer width, so narrow panes keep more room for task text. The visible count already omits “complete” on main. Project-clone banners keep their original layout and ghost buttons.

Validation

• Focused question/approval tests, web typecheck and build passed. Targeted lint reports existing warnings only; formatting and diff checks passed.
• Browser checks covered 320, 390, 768 and 1280 px, plus an open right panel. Checked keyboard answers, collapse/reopen, Retry payloads, task expansion, full details, Escape and focus return.
• Tested with isolated fixtures and intercepted outgoing answer/retry commands. Web and desktop share these components; native mobile is unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Project-clone status banners now support a more compact layout.
  • Composer actions and task indicators adjust more smoothly across screen sizes.
  • Notice details and pending-input content now scroll within available space, with improved text wrapping and truncation.
  • Informational details remain accessible through responsive controls on narrow screens.
  • Pending user-input interactions remain unchanged.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a contained web UI refinement, but it changes the default rendering and responsive layout of existing composer notices, including the default action-wrapping mode. The default presentation change warrants human review before merge.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add compact responsive layouts for composer and clone banners. Pending input content now uses bounded scrolling and anywhere wrapping. Task segments use a 560px breakpoint.

Changes

Composer and clone banner presentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Responsive banner layout apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerBanner.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerTasksBadge.tsx	The 400px action layout right-aligns actions. The narrow layout keeps its existing alignment. Task segments appear from the 560px breakpoint.
Compact alert presentation apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerBannerStack.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx	Alerts select compact or standard layouts. Compact alerts adjust truncation, notice-details visibility, popover sizing, wrapping, and bounded scrolling. Running and cancelled or failed clone banners enable compact presentation.
Composer content scrolling apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerPendingUserInputPanel.tsx	Pending input content uses bounded scrolling and anywhere wrapping. Selection, shortcut, disabled-state, and button behavior remain unchanged.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2fd8c

Users can still retry failed clones, but the recovery action is visually indistinguishable from removing the project; the localized styling fix should be applied with low merge risk.

Dismissing prior approval to re-evaluate 41bdddb

[Bil0000]

Verified the long notice details on 41bdddb857: Tab reaches the scroll area, Page Down scrolls the text, and Escape returns focus to the details button. Short notices and Retry still pass.

Leaving the docstring-coverage suggestion unchanged. These are layout edits to existing components, with no new API or behavior contract to document.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the primary Retry button.

Retry must remain the primary clone-recovery action. variant="ghost" gives it the same visual priority as Remove project, which conflicts with the PR objective and the provided clone-failure design.

Proposed fix

-            variant="ghost"
+            variant="default"

[Bil0000]

The ghost Retry button is intentional in be307a4. The requested scope now restores the project-clone banner to its original layout and actions while keeping the other composer-banner enhancements. The PR description and screenshot have been updated to match. The suggestion to restore a primary Retry button does not apply to the current request.

[Bil0000]

@coderabbitai review

Please review the current scope on be307a4. Project-clone banners deliberately retain the original layout and ghost Retry button, as requested by the contributor. The description and screenshots now state this explicitly. The previous suggestion to make Retry primary conflicts with that request; see the explanation in #12166 (comment).

[coderabbitai]

@Bil0000 The current scope keeps the original project-clone banner layout and ghost Retry button. The earlier primary-button suggestion does not apply and is withdrawn. I will review the current changes on be307a487c.

Maintainer follow-up for be307a4:

• The CI Test job failed in the unchanged mobile test shikiReviewHighlighter.test.ts (initializes source and snippet highlighting without a warmup). All 7 tests in that file pass locally. Please rerun the failed job: https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/actions/runs/35243135928/job/105276399146. GitHub returns HTTP 403 (admin rights required) when this account requests the rerun.
• Macroscope correctness and UI checks pass. Its approvability check requests human review under the product-default policy.
• CodeRabbit has withdrawn its Retry-button suggestion after confirming the clone-banner revert is intentional. No unresolved review threads remain.

@coderabbitai review

Merged current main (d4d5d12) into this branch in 2fd8caa. The task count matches main: the visible label was already removed there. The stale comparison image and description have been corrected; this PR only changes the progress-bar breakpoint for task summaries. Clone banners retain their original layout and ghost buttons.

@Bil0000 I reviewed the current effective diff from merge base d4d5d12e8b.

ComposerTasksBadge now shows task-progress segments when the banner container is at least 560px wide. The numeric task count remains unchanged.

The project-clone banner action definitions are unchanged. The existing ghost Retry button remains intact.

I found no new review findings.
