ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This production UI change makes sidebar rows snap instead of animate under the existing default motion setting, while retaining opt-in animations and adding cleanup for polling controllers. Because it changes the user-visible product default behavior, human review is required. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

Note: GPT-6 on behalf of shivam (@shivamhwp). Please rebase this around the legacy sidebar. Merged #9731 removed auto-animate from the default Sidebar and replaced its motion behavior; the default-sidebar and documentation hunks now conflict with that work. The cleanup still leaks if Motion turns off or the list detaches during auto-animate's initial two-second stagger. |
The legacy sidebar attached @formkit/auto-animate to its project list and every thread list and never detached it. auto-animate polls the position of the container and each row on an interval for as long as it is attached, so an idle app with hundreds of threads kept a core busy doing nothing (pingdotgg#4693). Destroying the controller on detach cannot fix that: poll() installs its interval from an untracked timeout up to two seconds after attach, so a list destroyed inside that window starts polling afterwards with nothing left to stop it. A bulk removal also clones and animates every row (pingdotgg#3962). Drive the legacy lists with the default sidebar's list motion instead. A small hook creates it when the list attaches, runs one motion pass after a commit that changed the rendered rows, and disposes it as soon as the list detaches, so nothing runs while a list is idle. Rows still slide between positions and fade in, reduced motion is honoured, an emptied list resets its baseline rather than fading out rows a collapsed panel would clip, and the shared fade cap keeps large updates cheap. The default sidebar already moved off auto-animate in pingdotgg#9731, so the dependency goes with its last user. Fixes pingdotgg#4693

Rebased around the legacy sidebar; the default-sidebar and docs hunks are gone since #9731 covers that list. The leak is auto-animate's own:
#9868 goes the other way and keeps auto-animate with a patch, so the two conflict in |

🌐 Web query:
According to the official React documentation, does useLayoutEffect run after the initial component commit when its dependency array contains an initial value?
💡 Result:
According to the official React documentation, useLayoutEffect runs synchronously after React performs DOM mutations but before the browser repaints the screen [1][2][3]. Regarding your specific question about the timing relative to the initial component commit: useLayoutEffect does indeed run after the initial component commit [3]. During the "commit" phase, React applies the changes to the DOM; useLayoutEffect is then executed synchronously after those mutations have been applied [2][4][3]. Because it fires after the DOM has been updated but before the browser repaints, it allows you to perform measurements or make further DOM updates synchronously, preventing the user from seeing any visual inconsistencies that might occur if the browser were to paint before your effect logic ran [1][2][3]. This behavior holds true regardless of whether a dependency array is provided; if you include dependencies, the effect will run after the initial mount and subsequently whenever those dependencies change [3].

Skip the animated pass after the initial baseline.
For a non-empty orderKey, the ref callback calls update(false) when the list attaches. The initial useLayoutEffect then calls update(true) after the initial DOM commit. This animates the initial list despite the baseline-only mount behavior.
Track the baseline orderKey and skip the effect when it matches. Assert that mounting makes exactly one update(false) call.

What Changed
apps/web/src/components/LegacySidebar.tsx: the legacy sidebar's project list and per-project thread lists no longer attach@formkit/auto-animate. They use the default sidebar'screateSidebarListMotion(from #9731) through a small hook,apps/web/src/components/sidebar/useSidebarListMotion.ts: it creates the motion when the list attaches, runs one motion pass after a commit that changed the rendered rows, and disposes it as soon as the list detaches. Rows still slide between positions and fade in, reduced motion is honoured by the motion itself, an emptied list resets its baseline instead of fading out rows a collapsed panel would clip, and the shared 40-row fade cap keeps large updates cheap. Both lists gainrelativeso the motion's fade clones are positioned against the list.@formkit/auto-animateleavesapps/web/package.jsonand the lockfile. The default sidebar dropped it in #9731, so the legacy sidebar was its last user.apps/web/src/components/sidebar/useSidebarListMotion.test.tsxcovers a list that is idle, changes, empties, is replaced, and unmounts.Why
Fixes #4693.
auto-animate polls the position of the container and every direct child for as long as it is attached: a 2 s
setIntervalper element, each tick scheduling an idle callback, a timer, a forced layout read and a freshIntersectionObserver. With hundreds of thread rows an idle app ran on the order of a hundred polls a second; the reporter measured 26% CPU idle. The legacy callbacks also never destroyed a controller, so every remount of a list added another set of pollers.Destroying the controller on detach, as the previous revision did, is not enough:
poll()installs its interval from an untracked timeout up to two seconds after attach, so a list destroyed inside that window starts polling afterwards with nothing left to stop it. The fix has to be a mechanism whose cleanup owns all of its work, and the repo already has one. Driving the legacy lists with the default sidebar's motion means nothing runs while a list is idle, and collapsing a project no longer clones and animates every row, which is what #3962 describes.#9868 takes the other route for the thread lists, keeping auto-animate behind a row cap and patching its cleanup. This PR removes the library instead; the two conflict in
LegacySidebar.tsx, so only one should land.Verified with the new hook test, web lint on the touched files, and web typecheck. No CPU measurement was taken in a running app.
