chore(lint): flag :has() variants that restyle the whole page

Important

Stacked on #15265 and #15266. Merge order: #15265, then #15266, then this PR. This PR's own commits are the top three, starting at chore(lint): flag :has() variants that restyle the whole page.

Problem

#15265 fixed a Tailwind arbitrary variant, [&+:has([data-chat-composer-form])_…], whose :has() was attached to nothing in particular. Chrome evaluated it on every ancestor up to <html>, so every DOM insertion or removal restyled the whole page, about 4,300 elements. The class string looked harmless, and nothing would stop an agent or person from writing another one.

Fix

A new lint rule, t3code/no-unscoped-has, set to error. It reads string and template literals, finds Tailwind arbitrary variants ([...]) that contain :has(, and requires each :has() to sit on a compound with a class, attribute, id or tag. Tailwind's & counts as the element's own class and _ as a space. Compounds anchored to html, body or :root are also reported, since they invalidate the whole document the same way.

• [&:has(x)], [&+[data-x]:has(y)_…], [&:not(:has(+x))], [:is(.a,.b):has(x)_&], group-[:has(x)]/peer-[:has(x)] and built-in has-* / group-has-* variants pass. Quoted attribute values and data-[…]/aria-[…] variants are not read as selectors.
• [&+:has(x)_…], [&_:has(x)], [*:has(x)_&], [*:not(.safe):has(x)_&], [.safe,:has(x)_&] and [body:has(x)_&] fail, with a message saying how to anchor the selector and why.

Agents run targeted lint on the files they change before opening a PR, and CI's Lint job runs it on everything, so this gets caught before review.

Plain .css files aren't covered, because oxlint only reads JS/TS. Today index.css has two :has() selectors, both anchored to attributes.

Validation

• 19 rule tests through the plugin's oxlint harness.
• Flags both selectors in the pre-perf(web): DOM changes no longer restyle the whole page #15265 ComposerBanner.tsx; reports nothing in the 7 files that use :has() today.
• Plugin typecheck and targeted lint pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The command palette renders grouped results through a virtualized list and tracks keyboard selection across mounted and unmounted rows. Thread search exposes its settled query. The Oxlint plugin adds and enables a rule for unscoped Tailwind :has() variants.

Changes

Command palette virtualization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Result rows and settled search query apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.logic.test.ts, apps/web/src/state/queries.ts, apps/web/src/state/queries.threadSearch.test.tsx	Row helpers flatten groups and map enabled items to row positions. useThreadSearch returns the query associated with its settled results. Tests cover row mapping, highlight lookup, and debounced query behavior.
Virtualized result rendering apps/web/src/components/ui/autocomplete.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ui/command.tsx, apps/web/src/components/CommandPaletteResults.tsx	Autocomplete and command components add virtualized-list wrappers and headings. The results component renders flattened rows, preserves disabled rows and empty states, and scrolls highlighted rows into view.
Keyboard and search integration apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx	The command palette passes flattened rows to virtualized results, tracks keyboard highlights, and executes the tracked item on Enter. Thread matches use the settled search query.

Unscoped :has() lint rule

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Selector analysis and rule tests oxlint-plugin-t3code/rules/no-unscoped-has.ts, oxlint-plugin-t3code/rules/no-unscoped-has.test.ts	The rule analyzes selector compounds in Tailwind variants and reports unscoped :has() usage. Tests cover accepted and reported selector cases.
Rule activation and selector update oxlint-plugin-t3code/index.ts, vite.config.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerBanner.tsx	The plugin registers the rule, Vite enables it at error severity, and the composer selector changes its adjacent-sibling match.

Loading

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0679a

Enter can run an unselected command after the query changes. Prevent that unexpected activation before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0679a

The command palette can execute its first enabled result after editing has cleared the visible selection. This can affect existing session-control actions, but still requires user keyboard input and preserves disabled-item checks. The lint rule does not introduce application-runtime authority.

Retained concerns

• Low · security · inferred: Query edits and submenu entry can leave every rendered result inactive, yet Enter substitutes the first enabled result and dispatches its action. This weakens the visible-intent binding for existing session-control commands, including agent-session restart. It does not establish a privilege escalation, but can initiate a state-changing operation without indicating which command is selected.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated selection mismatch reaches commands already available to the palette user. The inspected session-control example targets the active thread's environment; broader unauthorized tenant or environment access was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — The supported failure path requires editing or entering a submenu, an enabled first result, and an unmodified Enter press. The visible selection may remain cleared while that command executes. This is a user-intent control weakness, not a demonstrated attacker-controlled execution path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The lint entrypoint reads contributor-controlled string literals and template elements as source AST data and reports diagnostics. Its inspected implementation does not evaluate that text or invoke application services.

- Line 58: Update the compound-anchor check using NARROWING_PATTERN and
ROOT_COMPOUND_PATTERN so selectors nested inside :not() do not count as anchors;
classify the compound’s effective anchor instead, ensuring :has() selectors that
remain broad outside the negation are rejected.
- Around line 53-54: Update the loop over bracketGroups(token) to inspect only
bracket groups that Tailwind treats as selector variants before checking for
`:has(`; leave arbitrary value groups, such as content values, out of the
unscoped-selector diagnostic path.
- Line 50: Update the `:has(` precheck and the search in `hasCompounds` to match
ASCII case-insensitively, so uppercase and mixed-case CSS `:has()` selectors are
detected while preserving existing offender detection.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This change combines a substantial production command-palette virtualization and keyboard-navigation refactor with a new lint rule and a file-level lint suppression in its fixtures. The shared UI runtime impact and static-analysis configuration change warrant human review.

clearTypedHighlight deliberately clears the highlight; use the tracked
highlighted item and allow the fallback only when highlightClearedRef indicates
the highlight was not cleared.

Review comments at @oxlint-plugin-t3code/rules/no-unscoped-has.ts:
- Around line 94-102: Update selector construction in the no-unscoped-has rule
to recognize the `not-` arbitrary variant and wrap its relative selector in an
owner-anchored `:not(...)`, preserving the existing handling for other variants
and leaving `has-[...]` subject to current validation. Add a valid-case test for
`not-[:has(> [data-slot=icon])]` using the rule’s existing test pattern.
