- Around line 237-290: Move file loading and rendering out of
fileViewRenderCache.getOrRender and the View() path into a cancellable tea.Cmd
that performs stat, readFileViewBounded, highlightCodeForPath, and
formatFileViewLines, returning a result message. Render a loading placeholder
while the result is pending, store successful results in the model/cache, and
discard messages whose path no longer matches m.fileView.path so closed or
changed views cannot apply stale work.
- Around line 228-233: Update readFileViewBounded and its caller to preserve
whether truncation came from omitted lines versus per-line clipping, then render
a trailer that says more lines only when lines were omitted and uses
clipped-line wording otherwise; keep the existing caps and bounded-read
behavior. Revise the Lines-related constant comment to describe the trailer
actually emitted, without promising an exact remaining-line count.
- Around line 120-181: Update the file-reading loop around ReadLine so
totalBytes counts every consumed chunk, including bytes discarded after
maxLineBytes, and stop reading once maxTotalBytes is exhausted while preserving
truncation behavior. Ensure the budget cannot be bypassed by a single physical
line, and add a regression test covering a line larger than fileViewMaxBytes.
- Around line 256-267: Bound each file entry’s renders map to a fixed maximum
number of cached variants, evicting older renderings when new width or
changed-lines keys exceed the limit. Update the caching logic around
formatFileViewLines and add a test that exercises many distinct widths and
verifies the per-entry renders map remains bounded.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Merge readiness
- [P1] Rebase onto current
mainand obtain the required approved issue
AGENTS.md:12,CONTRIBUTING.md:26,internal/tui/model.go
This first-time community contribution links issue #833, but that issue has noissue-approvedlabel. The branch also still merges fromad34dc8d, while livemainis6fe0d1edand includes substantial intervening work, including TUI changes. The repository policy makes both an approved parent issue and a fresh base prerequisites; please obtain approval, then rebase and revalidate the resolved diff.

[P1] Enforce the byte budget while consuming an oversized physical line
internal/tui/file_view.go:124
fileViewMaxBytesis documented as a 1 MiB total read budget, but it is only checked by the outer loop after the innerReadLineloop finishes a physical line. OncelineBufreaches the 4 KiB display cap,ReadLinekeeps returning and discarding chunks whileisPrefixis true; those bytes are neither charged tototalBytesnor able to stop the loop. A generated file with one multi-gigabyte newline-terminated line therefore causes the full line to be read on the UI path before the result is marked truncated. Files with ordinary lines can also retain one final line beyond the nominal limit because the remaining per-file budget is not applied while appending a line.Address the root cause by making the input reader itself enforce the remaining total source-byte allowance, rather than accounting only for bytes retained in
lineBufafter a full line is consumed. Stop immediately when the limit is exhausted, mark the result as truncated, and retain only the portion that fits both the per-line and remaining total budgets. Add a regression test with one physical line larger thanfileViewMaxBytes; it should demonstrate that the reader stops at the budget rather than reading through to the newline. -
[P1] Bound rendered variants inside each file-cache entry
internal/tui/file_view.go:61
The 64-entry LRU limits the number of file entries, but it does not limit the payload stored by an entry. Each cache hit whose width orchangedLinesFingerprintdiffers adds another complete ANSI rendering tofileViewCachedEntry.renders. Existing variants are never removed until the entire file entry happens to be evicted or a theme change clears the whole cache. A user can keep one large file resident while resizing repeatedly or while session edits change the marker fingerprint, retaining an unbounded number of near-full-size strings under a single LRU entry. That defeats the PR’s hard memory-limit claim even though the entry count remains 64.Address the root cause by giving render variants their own bounded lifecycle: retain a small fixed number with a defined eviction policy, or invalidate/recompute variants when width or marker state changes. The bound must apply per file entry, not only to the outer file LRU, and it should preserve correct output for the active width and marker set. Add a test that drives more distinct width/fingerprint states than the limit and proves that the map and retained render payload cannot grow without bound.

220-225: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winTruncation is silently lost when the byte budget ends on an unfinished line.
The
goto finishedat Line 224 skips theif lineTruncated { truncated = true }propagation at Line 232, and it also ignoresisPrefix. The error branch at Line 204 propagateslineTruncated; this exit does not.Concrete failure case: one physical line of exactly
maxTotalByteswith no trailing newline.
ReadLinereturns 4096-byte chunks withisPrefix=trueanderr=nil.lineBufclips atmaxLineBytes, solineTruncated=true.- On the final chunk
totalSourceBytes == maxTotalBytes, so Line 220 appends the clipped 4 KiB prefix and jumps tofinished.- At
finished,truncatedis still false.Buffered()is 0,Peek(1)hits EOF because theLimitReaderhas 1 byte of headroom the file cannot supply, and the directfile.Readprobe returns 0 because the file offset is already at EOF.The view then renders 4 KiB of a 1 MiB line with no truncation trailer.
TestReadFileViewBounded_GiantSingleLineStopsAtBudgetpasses only because its 5 MiB file leaves a spare byte for the probe.🐛 Proposed fix: propagate clipping at the byte-budget exit
if totalSourceBytes >= maxTotalBytes { + if lineTruncated || isPrefix { + truncated = true + } if len(lineBuf) > 0 { lines = append(lines, string(lineBuf)) } goto finished }Add a regression case: a single line of exactly
maxTotalBytesbytes without a trailing newline, assertingtruncated == true.As per coding guidelines: "Every behavior or security-boundary change needs a regression test, including the failure path."

33-38: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoffConsider a total-byte budget for the cache, not only entry and variant counts.
Each cached entry retains
lines(up to 1 MiB),display(ANSI-highlighted, typically several times larger), plus up to 4 full ANSI render variants. With 64 entries, worst-case resident memory reaches hundreds of MiB after a long session over many large files.

[P1] Move cache-miss loading off the View path
internal/tui/file_view.go:489,internal/tui/file_view.go:550,internal/tui/file_view.go:325
The root cause is that the new cache is used as a synchronous loader inside the render call chain, rather than as state produced beforeView.fileViewBodyItemscallsrenderFileViewFullwhile constructing the View. That callsgetOrRender, which doesos.Staton every call and, on a cache miss, synchronously runsreadFileViewBounded,highlightCodeForPath`, and formatting before it returns. The bounds prevent unrestricted memory use, but they do not prevent the initial render from blocking on disk I/O or Chroma work. Opening an uncached file, or visiting a file after theme clear invalidates the cache, can stall the Bubble Tea render loop; switching files or exiting cannot cancel that work.Please address the root cause, not only the cache's caps:
- Keep
View/fileViewBodyItemsreading-only: render an already-available result or a loading placeholder, but do not stat, read, highlight, or format there. - On entering full-file mode (or after an invalidation), start the bounded read/highlight/format work from a command or worker and return a result message to the update loop. Preserve the current 1 MiB, 4,000-line, 4 KiB-line, and cache-variant bounds.
- Apply a completed result only if its request identity still matches the active file mode and the current invalidation/generation. Discard results for switched, closed, or superseded views so old work cannot paint the wrong file.
- Add a load-bearing regression test that exercises a cache miss through the actual View/Update boundary, asserts the loading state is rendered first, and verifies that only the matching active view accepts the completion. Run the affected current path under
-race.
The review churn here comes from treating the repeated-View cache-hit behavior as equivalent to the change requested by #833. It is not: the cache hit is fast, but the miss/invalidation path still performs the expensive work in
View. Tracing the full cache-miss lifecycle (enter > load > cancel/supersede > apply result > render) and demonstrating its failure cases in tests will align the implementation with the accepted scope and avoid further iterations. - Keep
… loop Address finding [P1] by moving synchronous file reading, os.Stat, Chroma syntax highlighting, and formatting out of renderFileViewFull/View() into an asynchronous tea.Cmd (loadFileViewCmd / loadAndRender). View() now returns immediately with in-memory content or a lightweight Loading… placeholder. The async result is safely applied in Update() only if matching the active file path, monotonic request ID, and cache generation (invalidated on theme switch).

Full view no longer notices on-disk changes while it stays open.
getRenderOnly keys only on targetPath and performs no os.Stat. The previous getOrRender path stat'd the file on every render, so an edit made by a tool run repainted the view. Now a reload happens only on open, on a mode switch, and on resize. While the view stays open in full mode, an agent edit to the same file keeps rendering the old content.
Trigger startFileViewLoadCmd when a message updates the touched-file set (for example the git-sweep and tool-result handlers) so the open view refreshes.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Overall guidance
The repeated findings on this PR all come from the same underlying issue: file-view loading was changed from one synchronous render-time operation into an asynchronous, cached state machine, but the implementation still treats individual event handlers as independent fixes instead of having one authoritative definition of the snapshot the view is trying to show.
A full-file render is now affected by more than the path: it depends on the active view lifetime, cache/theme generation, on-disk file revision, viewport width, and the changed-line revision used to produce gutter markers. Opening a file, entering full mode, resizing, a tool result, a git sweep, a background-color/theme change, deletion, exit, and reopen can all alter one or more of those inputs while background work is still pending. The global cache contains reusable prepared variants, while fileViewState holds the currently displayed result, but no single current-request identity connects the scheduler, completion handler, and fallback rendering path. That split is why individually reasonable patches—generation checks, a lifetime token, cache limits, reloads from selected event handlers, and a loading placeholder—still leave stale results able to become visible.
Please address this as one coherent file-view snapshot lifecycle rather than another set of event-specific completion guards. Define the desired snapshot when scheduling work, retain that identity in fileViewState, and make every invalidating event flow through the same scheduler. A completion should be authoritative only if it exactly matches the currently desired snapshot; otherwise it is superseded and must not alter content, markers, loading state, or error state. View() should consume only an exact prepared snapshot, loading state, or current error state. It should not use a prior-width or prior-revision string as a fallback merely because an exact cache variant was evicted.
The regression coverage should follow real model transitions, not only call cache helpers or manually invoke a selected command. In particular, drive the actual Update path for: open → load; repeated resize before completion; tool mutation or git sweep while a load is pending; theme invalidation during a load; deletion after a successful load; exit/reopen; and reverse-order completions for requests belonging to one still-active view. Each test should show that only the newest desired snapshot becomes visible. This both covers the current defect and prevents the same lifecycle gap from reappearing as another event-specific finding.
This is not a request to abandon the asynchronous design or broaden the PR into unrelated cleanup. Preserve the non-blocking View() path, the 1 MiB/4,000-line/4 KiB source limits, bounded cache variants, theme-safe background formatting, and the current lifetime/generation protections. The needed change is to make those pieces enforce one shared current-snapshot contract.

[P2] Keep only the current file-view load result
internal/tui/file_view.go:564,internal/tui/file_view.go:639,internal/tui/file_view.go:735
The new asynchronous lifecycle can have more than one load in flight for the same open full-file view.startFileViewLoadCmdis called again for every resize, matching tool result, and git sweep, but its messages carry only the stable view lifetime, path, cache generation, width, and marker fingerprint.handleFileViewLoadedrejects a different view or theme generation, but accepts every same-lifetime completion without verifying that its width and changed-line fingerprint still describe the current requested snapshot.This permits a concrete reverse-order failure: a tool update or resize starts request A; a later update starts request B and B completes first, so the current file content/markers or width are rendered correctly; then A completes and overwrites
renderedContent,loadedWidth, andloadedFingerprint.renderFileViewFullfirst looks up an exact cache variant, but when it is absent it returns that overwrittenrenderedContent. Exact variants are intentionally limited to four per file, so repeated resize or marker variants make the fallback path routine rather than exceptional. The visible full-file view can therefore revert to stale disk text, an obsolete width fitting, or old changed-line markers until another reload happens.Please address the root cause as described above: record a monotonically advancing desired snapshot/request identity whenever a full-file load is scheduled, apply only a matching completion, and render only an exact prepared snapshot or loading/current-error state. Add event-level reverse-completion coverage for both a file mutation/marker change and a resize, so a later requested snapshot is proven to remain visible.

I found an issue that needs to be addressed before this is ready.
Overall guidance
The repeated review churn on this PR has come from the same underlying risk: it changes full-file rendering from a straightforward synchronous scan into a bounded asynchronous/cache-backed pipeline, so its safety guarantees now depend on keeping three layers consistent: (1) the bytes physically consumed from disk, (2) the bounded representation retained for display, and (3) the status/trailer shown to the user. Each boundary exit—EOF, a line cap, a line-length cap, the total-byte limit, and the one-byte look-ahead used to distinguish exact-budget EOF from omitted data—must make the same decision about whether content was omitted.
Please treat the byte reader as the single source of truth for this contract. Define precisely whether fileViewMaxBytes limits bytes read, bytes retained, or both; charge every byte consumed by the reader, including line delimiters removed by bufio.Reader.ReadLine; and derive truncated/omittedLines from that source-of-truth state rather than from retained chunks or an ambiguous EOF probe. Then add table-driven boundary tests covering empty lines, LF and CRLF, exact-budget files, one byte over budget, an unterminated last line, overlong physical lines, and the interaction with the line-count cap. These tests should assert both retained lines and the visible trailer, and should fail against the unfixed accounting path.
This is deliberately not asking for another cache or lifecycle redesign. The current async cache approach, bounded render variants, and completion-isolation mechanism are not findings in this draft. The remaining work is to make the newly advertised bounded-read behavior internally consistent and load-bearing at its edge conditions.

[P3] Make the byte-limit state account for line terminators and drive the truncation trailer
internal/tui/file_view.go:228-249,internal/tui/file_view.go:308-323
The new reader presentsfileViewMaxBytesas a total source-byte budget, but its state machine counts onlylen(chunk)afterbufio.Reader.ReadLinehas removed the physical line ending. The laterPeek/direct-file probe can consume the permitted detection byte without settingtruncatedwhen that byte is another newline. For example, with a one-byte test budget and input"\\n\\n", the function returns two displayed empty lines withtruncated == false, even though the second physical byte is beyond the budget. Theio.LimitReaderstill prevents unbounded reads—this is a correctness issue in the newly introduced bound and status, not an unbounded-I/O regression.Fix the reader state rather than patching this one example: account for delimiters at the read boundary (including CRLF), make the exact-budget/probe outcome explicit, and use that authoritative consumed/omitted state to decide both truncation fields and the trailer. Keep the existing 1 MiB memory/read bound, 4 KiB display-line cap, 4,000-line cap, and intentional exact-budget-with-EOF behavior. Add focused boundary tests that prove the correction rather than only covering a larger input.

Approving. Your CI had never run: held at action_required behind the fork gate with only CodeRabbit green. I released it and the full suite passes, which for +1845/-101 is worth having actually seen.
Nothing here blocks. Four things worth knowing, none of which I would hold the PR for.
readFileViewBounded accumulates totalSourceBytes from len(chunk) after ReadLine has stripped the terminator, so line terminators are never charged to fileViewMaxBytes. A file that was in fact fully displayed can still get the "more lines" trailer.
nextFileViewLifetimeToken never stores sequence bits 12-15 and 22-23, so two seq values 4096 apart within the same millisecond mint the same "unique" token. Reachability is low, which is why this is a note rather than a finding, but it is a real defect in a primitive that advertises uniqueness.
sanitizeRawFileLine is reachable only from the un-lexed fallback branch, so the "sanitize raw ANSI escapes" subject is broader than the change. When Chroma has a lexer the sibling path still passes raw content through. That gap is pre-existing rather than introduced here.
The reflect.Ptr to reflect.Pointer edit in internal/config is unrelated to a TUI perf PR and its body. Harmless, but it is the kind of thing that makes a later bisect point at the wrong commit.

Overall guidance
The asynchronous design needs one authoritative definition of the snapshot the full-file view is allowed to display. At the moment, the request state (desiredSeq, width, fingerprint, generation), the cache, and the completed fallback each independently decide what is current. That leaves event-specific refreshes and late results able to work around the sequence guard rather than being governed by it.
Please preserve the non-blocking render path and bounded source/variant limits, but give each scheduled load a current snapshot identity that includes the view lifetime, request sequence, source revision, width, marker state, and theme generation. A render should consume only an exact completed snapshot for that identity, its loading state, or its current error state. Every mutation producer—including explicit shell escapes—should invalidate or schedule through that same path, and superseded work should be coalesced before it starts expensive I/O/highlighting. In particular, do not repair these as unrelated per-event fallbacks: the cache insertion, completion handler, render lookup, and empty-file state need to enforce the same lifecycle contract.

[P2] Do not render a cached variant for a superseded snapshot
internal/tui/file_view.go:805
startFileViewLoadCmdadvancesdesiredSeqfor every resize, git sweep, and relevant update, butrenderFileViewFullreturns any cache entry matching only path, width, and marker fingerprint. That lookup has neither the requested sequence nor the source revision, so it bypasses the exact-completion guard entirely. A concrete failure is: load width 80; resize to 100; resize back to 80 before the replacement completes. The old width-80 variant is painted immediately even though the desired request is newer. The same happens after a git-sweep reload, or an edit whose marker fingerprint did not change: old on-disk text can remain visible until a later completion happens to replace it.Fix the root cause by associating cache variants with the same requested snapshot identity used by the completion handler, rather than treating a path/width/fingerprint hit as current. While the exact requested revision has not completed, render Loading (or the current request's error), not an older prepared string. Add model-level coverage for a reload followed by a cache hit for an earlier revision, and for resize away-and-back before completion.

[P2] Refresh the active file view after a shell escape
internal/tui/model.go:2989
!cmdis explicitly run inm.cwd, so it can modify the file currently open in full view, but itsbashResultMsghandler only appends command output. Unlike agent rows and git sweeps, it neither invalidates the cache nor schedules the snapshot lifecycle. Consequently, after an initial load,!printf 'new\n' > viewed.goleaves the old prepared variant visible indefinitely; no later completion is required to expose the failure.Treat shell-escape completion as another mutation producer for the shared snapshot lifecycle. It does not need command-output parsing or a separate cache policy: invalidate/refresh the active full-file snapshot through the same scheduler, preserving existing shell behavior. Add a regression test that loads a file, executes a shell command that replaces it, delivers
bashResultMsg, and proves the next completed snapshot—not the cached old text—is displayed. -
[P2] Coalesce superseded resize loads before expensive work starts
internal/tui/model.go:2453
Everytea.WindowSizeMsgstarts a newloadFileViewCmd. Bubble Tea runs batch commands concurrently, and on an initial cache miss every one passes the cache check then performs its own bounded read and Chroma pass.handleFileViewLoadeddrops obsolete messages only after that work has happened. Dragging a terminal edge across a large file can therefore fan out many simultaneous 1 MiB reads/highlights, recreating the responsiveness and memory pressure this asynchronous design was introduced to remove. The rapid-resize test only executes its final stored command, so it cannot exercise concurrent command execution or prove the work was coalesced.Make supersession effective before expensive work begins: retain one current request per active view (or use cancellation/coalescing at the loader), and ensure a resize replaces pending work rather than adding another independent read/highlight. Keep the latest-width-wins completion protection, but add a test that actually runs multiple resize commands concurrently and verifies that obsolete requests do not perform duplicate source reads/highlighting.
-
[P3] Represent an empty completed snapshot explicitly
internal/tui/file_view.go:808
A successful empty-file load storesrenderedContent == "", which is also used as the not-loaded sentinel. This matters because stale commands still insert/replace cache entries even when their completion messages are discarded. If a late command replaces the entry with a different variant, the active empty snapshot's exact variant misses at line 805; the fallback then treats the already successful result as Loading forever because its rendered string is empty.Store explicit completion state (or an exact prepared snapshot object) independently of its rendered text, and require that state in the render fallback. That preserves a valid blank file as a completed view while still showing Loading only for a genuinely pending request. Cover reverse-order completions for an empty file with enough different variants to evict the current one.
A width round-trip must stay on the loading placeholder until the current snapshot sequence completes, not reuse an earlier cached render.
Treat bashResultMsg as a snapshot producer, drop stale resize work before I/O, and keep an empty completed file off the loading placeholder.

[P2] Wire the full-file renderer into the FILES interaction
internal/tui/files_panel.go:361
This PR replaces the full-file implementation inopenFileView/renderFileViewFull, but the production FILES interaction still terminates atselectFile: it recordsselectedFileand scrolls to the matching transcript card, and no production call site invokesopenFileView. The base has the same selection-only wiring, so none of this PR's async loading, bounded read, cache, invalidation, or refresh logic is reachable by a normal user. The linked issue #833 describes a user opening the full-file view; at this head that path remains unavailable, so the claimed fix has no product effect.Address the root cause by deciding and implementing the actual drill-in interaction, rather than only changing its dormant renderer. In particular, trace the FILES selectable/mouse/keyboard handlers through the selection state and make the intended second activation (or an explicit full-view action) call
openFileView. Preserve ordinary one-click selection and its transcript-scroll behavior if that remains the UX contract, and ensure the full-view entry returns and schedules thetea.Cmdthrough the real update path. Add an end-to-end model/UI regression that begins with a FILES interaction, reaches full mode, observes the loading state, and then applies the async result; a direct unit call toopenFileViewalone would not protect this integration edge.
Wire selectFile through Update (Enter and run-details click) so the async full-file path is reachable from the FILES roster, not only tests.

[P2] Make explicit mutation refreshes bypass stale metadata hits
internal/tui/file_view.go:431
bashResultMsg, tool-result, and git-sweep handlers schedule a new snapshot because those events may have changed the file, but every request enters the same cache path and line 433 treats matching path, size, and mtime as proof that the source bytes are unchanged. A same-length rewrite within one filesystem timestamp tick therefore turns the explicit reload into a cache hit: the new sequence completes successfully with the old rendered snapshot and no later event is guaranteed to correct it. This is reproducible in the PR-addedTestFileViewLifecycle_ShellEscapeReloadsFullView; repeated runs frequently still renderpackage oldafter writing the equal-lengthpackage new.The root cause is that the loader does not preserve why a request was made: mutation-triggered freshness checks are conflated with resize/theme requests that may safely reuse source bytes. Please fix that distinction at the cache/lifecycle boundary—for example, by propagating refresh intent or invalidating/revalidating the source entry—so an explicit mutation refresh establishes current bytes while width/theme-only renders still reuse a verified snapshot. Do not paper over this by sleeping or forcing mtime forward in the test; add deterministic coverage for an equal-size rewrite with unchanged/restored mtime through each shared mutation-refresh path.
-
[P2] Stop superseded work after a loader has started
internal/tui/file_view.go:565
The coalescing guard only skips a command if it is already stale when its closure begins. Once line 566 passes,loadAndRenderperforms the bounded read, Chroma highlighting, formatting, and cache insertion without observingliveSeqagain. If a resize arrives after request A starts, request B is scheduled while A continues the same expensive pipeline; rapid resizing can therefore fan out multiple concurrent 1 MiB reads/highlights even though only the newest completion is accepted. That recreates the CPU/allocation pressure issue #833 is intended to remove.TestFileViewLifecycle_SupersededResizeSkipsWorkdoes not cover this race because it advances all sequences before invoking the old commands, so those commands fail the entry guard and never start work.The root cause is that request sequence controls dispatch and result acceptance, but not the lifetime or ownership of work already in progress. Please move supersession into the worker lifecycle: cancel obsolete work at meaningful read/highlight boundaries, or share/coalesce one authoritative in-flight source load and render only the latest requested variant. Preserve latest-width-wins behavior and avoid merely adding another completion-time check, which would discard the result only after paying the full cost. Add a deterministic synchronization test that starts A, supersedes it with B while A is inside the expensive path, and proves obsolete heavy work stops or is shared rather than duplicated.

[P2] Resolve run-details clicks from the rendered FILES hit map
internal/tui/files_panel.go:395
The overlay renderer already obtains exact(row, path)identities fromsidebarFileLines, butrunDetailsLinesdiscards that hit slice. The mouse path then tries to reconstruct identity by substring-searching the clicked presentation string against every touched path with a separate hard-coded width of 40. This is ambiguous: if newera.goprecedesdir/a.go, thedir/a.gorow containsa.goand opens the wrong file. It also diverges from rendering when the overlay's dynamic inner width truncates a path differently, and it can make summarized rows selectable even thoughsidebarFileLinesintentionally omits them fromfileHit.The root cause is loss of structured row identity between layout and hit testing; rendered/styled text is not a stable key. Please carry the exact selectable row/path metadata through run-details section assembly, truncation, and overlay positioning, then resolve the click by row identity rather than path text. Preserve first-click selection, second activation, transcript scrolling, and nonselectable live/summary/overflow rows. Add focused cases for suffix-colliding paths, narrow-width truncation, and summarized rows so future presentation changes cannot silently change click targets.
Mutation reloads bypass mtime/size cache hits, loadAndRender observes liveSeq during work, and run-details clicks resolve fileHit identities.

[P2] Prevent superseded workers from replacing the current cache entry
internal/tui/file_view.go:497
The worker checksliveSeqimmediately after reading, but it does not check again after Chroma/formatting or beforeputFileViewCacheEntrymutates the shared cache. This leaves a concrete interleaving: refresh A reads old bytes and blocks in highlighting; the file is rewritten with the same size and mtime; refresh B reads the new bytes, finishes, and installs them; then A resumes and replaces B. The replacement guard compares generation and rejects only a strictly older mtime, so equal metadata does not protect B. Although A's completion message is rejected by the model,renderFileViewFullconsults the global cache before the model's acceptedrenderedContent, making the stale write visible. A deterministic blocked-lexer regression on this head ends with"1 package old"instead ofpackage new.The root cause is that request authority protects message acceptance but not every side effect of the asynchronous job. Please make cache insertion/eviction conditional on the same request-and-lifetime authority used to accept the result, with a check after expensive work and immediately before mutation (or commit cache changes only from an authoritative completion path). Do not use mtime ordering as the authority: equal-size/equal-mtime forced refresh is an intentional supported case. Add a test in which A is superseded while inside highlighting and is released only after B has been accepted; the final model and cache must both retain B.

[P2] Cancel file loads when their view lifetime ends
internal/tui/file_view.go:684
Switching files creates a newliveSeqpointer,exitFileViewdrops the old pointer, and switching full→diff leaves the old value unchanged. A dispatched worker retains that old pointer, so after the consumer has disappeared it still sees its own sequence as current and continues through the bounded read, highlighting, formatting, and cache insertion. In a deterministic exit regression, a worker paused before the read was allowed to continue afterexitFileView; it returnederr=niland recorded one disk read and one highlight call. Rapid drill-in/exit, file switching, or mode switching can therefore accumulate obsolete 1 MiB highlight jobs and recreate the CPU/allocation pressure issue #833 is intended to solve. The added cancellation test covers only a newer request within the same lifetime and only before I/O.The root cause is that the cancellation authority is replaced or discarded without invalidating the token held by already-dispatched work. Please explicitly end the old lifetime before replacing/dropping it on file switch, exit, and full→diff, and make workers observe that cancellation between the read, highlight/format, and cache-mutation stages. A context or monotonically invalidated token would both be reasonable; the required invariant is that an old lifetime cannot perform new expensive work or shared-cache mutations. Add transition tests that pause a worker, perform each lifetime-ending action, release it, and verify cancellation plus no later highlight/cache commit.

[P2] Resolve FILES clicks from the rows actually rendered in Run details
internal/tui/files_panel.go:408
contentOriginsearches the normalized overlay for exact equality with an unwrappedrunDetailsLinesrow, butstyledBlockFillTitlehas already wrapped every overlay row in│ ... │.normalizeOverlayBlockremoves centering; it does not remove that frame, so no row can compare equal andcontentOriginremains-1. Every click and double-click on a visible FILES row therefore returns no path beforeselectFilecan run. A direct regression on this head clicked the renderedsix.gorow and receivedpath="",ok=false. There is a second mapping hazard behind this first failure: the overlay caps the section and inserts an… morerow, whilesidebarFileLinessupplies uncapped hits, so an origin-only fix would map the ellipsis and later sections to files that are not displayed there.The root cause is using independently transformed presentation strings and raw list offsets as row identity. Please build the framed/capped overlay and its hit map from the same structured rows—for example, attach an optional file path to each rendered row and retain the final screen-relative y-coordinate after capping and framing. Live rows, summaries, the ellipsis, following sections, and hidden files must have no file target. Add tests for the first and last visible file, the

[P2] Refresh command mutations when Git discovery is unavailable
internal/tui/model.go:2932
An agentbash/exec_commandresult returns early throughmaybeGitSweepbefore reaching the active file-view refresh path. In a non-Git workspace, or after a baseline failure setsgitSweepUnavailable,maybeGitSweepreturns a nil command and no later event refreshes the snapshot. Because the refactored View path intentionally performs no stat/read, a command that rewrites the open file leaves the old cached contents visible indefinitely. A deterministic regression rewrotepackage oldtopackage new, delivered a successfulexec_commandresult with Git sweeping unavailable, and observed that the update scheduled no command at all. The interactive!cmd, tools that reportchangedFiles, and successful sweep paths do refresh, which is why this only appears on the optional-Git failure branch.The root cause is coupling the mandatory source-refresh effect to optional Git change discovery through an early return. Please schedule the active-file refresh for every successful command mutation independently of whether a sweep can start or succeeds, then batch/deduplicate it with the sweep when one exists. Preserve Git discovery for updating the FILES list; it should not be the freshness signal for the open file. Add coverage for a non-Git workspace and for a latched sweep failure, asserting that the rewritten file becomes visible without requiring another UI event.
Recheck liveSeq after formatting and again under the cache lock so a stale Chroma pass cannot replace a newer accepted snapshot.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
This PR has gone through several repair rounds, and the repeated findings are not a collection of unrelated corner cases. Most come from the same architectural gap: the new asynchronous file-view snapshot has several partial authorities instead of one lifecycle owner. desiredSeq controls model acceptance, liveSeq controls some worker checks, cache generation controls theme invalidation, file metadata controls source reuse, and individual event handlers separately decide whether a source refresh is needed. A fix at one checkpoint can therefore leave the same request alive at another stage, or refresh one mutation producer while missing a sibling producer.
Please address the lifecycle as one contract rather than applying another set of event-specific guards. The implementation should establish these invariants:
- One active snapshot request owns its lifetime, requested source revision/freshness, width/fingerprint, theme generation, expensive work, cache side effects, and final acceptance.
- Superseding or abandoning that request revokes the same authority observed by every later stage; rejecting only the final message is not cancellation.
- A cache mutation is allowed only for the request that is still authoritative for that view lifetime. Metadata is a source identity hint, not request authority.
- Every producer that may mutate the viewed file schedules through one source-refresh path. Git sweeping may update the FILES roster, but it must not be the freshness signal for the open file.
- Rendered UI rows and mouse targets come from one structured layout result. Do not recover identity later from styled text or independently recomputed offsets.
The regression suite should exercise these as transition matrices through production Update paths, with deterministic pause points around expensive stages. In particular, cover supersession before/during source work and cached formatting; exit, full-to-diff, and file replacement; direct tools, agent commands, shell escapes, and every Git availability state; and first/last/overflow Run-details rows. That should prevent another round where fixing the currently reported interleaving exposes the next unchecked edge.

[P2] Make request authority cover every expensive stage and cache side effect
internal/tui/file_view.go:450
The worker samplesliveSeqbefore the source read and after the complete read, then does not sample it again until after the complete Chroma and formatting pass. The metadata-cache-hit branch at lines 450–465 returns before any later authority check: after finding a matching source entry it may format a 4,000-line variant and callentry.putRendereven if a newer resize or refresh became authoritative in the meantime.A concrete miss path is: request A passes the pre-read check; request B advances
liveSeqwhile A is inside highlighting; A still finishes all highlighting and formatting before discovering it is obsolete. A cache-hit path is worse: A finds a missing width/fingerprint variant, B supersedes it, and A formats and mutates the render LRU without checking again. Running several resize commands concurrently can therefore duplicate the CPU/allocation work issue #833 is meant to eliminate even though only the newest result reaches the model.The root cause is treating cancellation as a few sampled sequence checks while the worker and cache have independent side-effect paths. Please make the current request's authority apply through source work, highlighting, formatting, and immediately before every cache mutation, or coalesce/share the work so obsolete requests cannot duplicate it. Preserve latest-request-wins output and the bounded cache; the mechanism can be a cancellable operation, an authoritative in-flight job, or another design that proves the same invariant.
Add deterministic tests that start A and pause it after dispatch, after source acquisition, before/inside the expensive transform boundary, and after a cache hit but before variant commit; supersede it with B; then assert A performs no later expensive stage or shared-cache mutation and B alone supplies the accepted variant. The existing test that supersedes commands before they start does not cover these interleavings.

[P2] Revoke the old lifetime before dropping or replacing file-view state
internal/tui/file_view.go:697
The cancellation token is stored inside the state that the transition discards.exitFileViewreplacesfileViewStatewith zero state, full-to-diff only changesmode, and switching to a different file that opens in diff mode overwrites the lifetime/path without scheduling a new load to advance the retained atomic. Those transitions do not first change the value held by an already-dispatched command, so that worker continues to see its captured sequence as current at every check. (A switch to a full-only file does schedule a new request and advances the shared sequence; that sibling path does not clear the failing transitions.) The eventualfileViewLoadedMsgis rejected by path/token checks, but the worker may already have read up to the cap, highlighted, formatted, inserted a cache entry, and evicted useful current entries.There is also a stale-cache interleaving behind the wasted work: pause A from the old lifetime after it has read old bytes, end that view, rewrite/reopen the same path, and allow B to commit. If A resumes with equal size/mtime, the metadata ordering guard does not prove B is newer; without lifetime revocation A can replace B's shared entry even though its message is later ignored.
The root cause is that lifetime authority becomes unreachable before it is revoked. Please end the old lifetime as part of every transition—file switch, full-to-diff, exit, and detailed-view replacement—before clearing or replacing state. The same authority that guards model acceptance must also guard expensive work and cache commit; a new lifetime token by itself does not cancel the old pointer.
Add synchronized transition tests that pause an actual worker, perform each lifetime-ending action, release it, and assert cancellation, no subsequent read/highlight/format stage, no cache insertion/eviction, and no replacement of a newer equal-metadata snapshot. Tests that merely deliver an already-completed old message prove result rejection, not lifecycle cancellation.

[P2] Carry file identity through the final Run-details layout
internal/tui/files_panel.go:386
runDetailsFileAtMousereconstructs identity from three independently produced views of the overlay. It obtains raw file rows/hits fromsidebarFileLines, obtains a separately capped content list fromrunDetailsLines, then searches the final styled overlay for exact equality with an unframed content string.styledBlockFillTitlehas already transformed every body row into│+ content + padding +│;normalizeOverlayBlockremoves centering only, socontentOriginremains-1and every visible FILES click returns no path.Fixing only that equality comparison would leave a second bug.
runDetailsLinescaps a section to four actual rows plus… more in transcript, while the separately rebuilthitsslice still contains up to six file offsets. A hidden fifth or sixth file can therefore line up with the ellipsis or a later non-file section once offset arithmetic is adjusted.The root cause is discarding structured row identity and attempting to recover it from presentation strings after truncation, framing, and centering. Please have the Run-details layout produce one ordered collection of final logical rows—each with rendered text and an optional file target—apply section capping to those rows, and only then derive both the framed overlay and screen-coordinate hit map. Headers, live rows, summaries, ellipses, hidden rows, and following sections must have no file target.
Add production-level mouse tests using the actual overlay geometry for the first and last visible file, suffix-colliding paths, narrow/path-truncated rows, the overflow trailer, a following ACTIVITY row, centering/padding, first-click selection, and second activation. A test that only inspects
sidebarFileLinescannot prove the final overlay's hit map. -
[P2] Separate source freshness from optional Git roster discovery
internal/tui/model.go:2932
Forbashandexec_commandtool-result rows,updateModelcallsmaybeGitSweepand immediately returns.maybeGitSweepdeliberately returns a nil command when Git is unavailable, the startup baseline is missing, another sweep is already in flight, orcwdis blank. On all of those branches the active full-file snapshot receives no refresh. Because this PR intentionally removed stat/read work fromView, a command that rewrites the viewed file leaves the old accepted/cache content visible indefinitely unless an unrelated later event happens to refresh it.A successful Git sweep eventually produces
gitSweepMsg, whose handler refreshes the view, which is why the common Git case looks correct. The non-Git and suppressed-sweep branches expose the coupling: an optional mechanism for discovering roster changes has become the only trigger for mandatory source freshness. Direct file-tool and shell-escape handlers use separate refresh logic, so each newly handled producer can hide the missing shared contract until another producer is exercised.Please route all successful mutation-capable command results through the same authoritative source-refresh scheduler regardless of Git state, and batch or deduplicate that command with a Git sweep when one is available. Preserve Git discovery for updating the FILES list, but make refresh intent explicit—source mutation must bypass metadata-only reuse, whereas width-only requests may safely reuse a verified source snapshot.
Add table-driven
Updatetests forgitSweepUnavailable,gitSweepInFlight, missing baseline, successful sweep, and failed sweep, using an equal-size/equal-mtime rewrite of the active file. In every case the newest bytes must become the accepted snapshot without waiting for another UI event, while the Git-enabled cases should avoid duplicate source loads.
Revoke the worker token before dropping view state. Refuse cache-hit puts after supersede. Refresh on plan/bash even when git sweep is nil. Run-details mouse hits use the same layout as the rendered FILES rows.

[P1] Sanitize source before the successful highlighting path
internal/tui/file_view.go:505
The sanitizer is only reached in the no-lexer fallback (file_view.go:506-510). Recognized source files instead pass rawreadRes.linestohighlightCodeForPathWithTheme; its token loop appends each token value to the rendered output unchanged. Consequently, an escape sequence placed in a Go/JS/etc. comment or string—for example an OSC 52 clipboard sequence—reaches the terminal whenever a user opens the file.fitStyledLineintentionally preserves ANSI/OSC sequences, so truncation does not neutralize the input either.Please address the root cause by making terminal-control handling a property of untrusted file content before it enters either rendering branch, rather than a fallback-only post-processing step.

fileViewLoadedMsg, then write v2, run and apply B, and finally deliver the captured A message. Ensure the two source snapshots have distinct identities where the cache requires it. The test should fail if the stale-completion guard is removed or inverted, while still proving that the v2 snapshot remains visible.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
This PR has gone through several repair rounds, and the findings below are not four unrelated edge cases. They come from two recurring ownership gaps:
- The asynchronous snapshot has several partial authorities instead of one lifecycle owner.
desiredSeqcontrols model acceptance,liveSeqis sampled at some worker boundaries, cache generation controls theme invalidation, size/mtime controls source reuse, and a one-requestrefreshSourceboolean controls whether cached bytes may be trusted. Because those authorities can be advanced independently, a newer request can accidentally discard a required source refresh, an obsolete request can continue expensive work or trigger another load, and a filesystem mutation can occur without changing any durable freshness state. - UI identity is reconstructed from representations that no longer have the same contract. Run-details keyboard activation uses the model-wide
selectedFilerather than the rows in the final capped layout, while changed-line matching compares raw diff text with sanitized source text. The rendering layer therefore shows one set of identities while interaction or matching operates on another.
Please address these as lifecycle and identity contracts rather than adding another special-case refresh or completion guard. The implementation should establish these invariants:
- One desired file-view snapshot owns the path/lifetime, required source revision, width, changed-line fingerprint, theme generation, expensive work, cache effects, and final model acceptance.
- Source freshness is monotonic. A mutation may increase the required source revision; resize, theme, or formatting-only requests must inherit that requirement and cannot downgrade it to metadata-only reuse.
- File metadata is only a cache hint. An explicit mutation signal must invalidate or advance the affected path even when no full view is active, and only an accepted fresh read may satisfy that requirement.
- Superseding or abandoning a request revokes the same authority observed before every expensive stage and every shared-cache mutation. Rejecting its eventual message is necessary but is not cancellation.
- Completion handling validates path/lifetime/sequence and all requested parameters before performing any recovery action. An obsolete message cannot start a retry or change loading state.
- Rendered rows and activation targets come from one final structured layout after filtering and overflow capping. A model-wide historical selection is not automatically a valid modal target.
- Source-to-diff matching uses one canonical identity representation. Security sanitization may change display bytes, but it must not silently change which source line a marker describes.
The tests should exercise those invariants as transition matrices through production Update paths, not only isolated helpers or the common active-full-view path. In particular, cover source mutation while closed/diff/full; mutation followed by resize/theme before completion; rewind; cache hit/miss; supersession before/during expensive work; current completion followed by obsolete completion; view exit/reopen; and visible/overflowed Run-details rows. Each concurrency test should capture genuinely distinct source snapshots and pause at deterministic stage boundaries so it fails when authority is removed or checked in the wrong order.

[P1] Persist source-refresh authority across requests and view states
internal/tui/file_view.go:672
refreshSourcebelongs only to the single command created here; it is not durable state associated with the path or desired snapshot. That loses the fact that cached bytes are dirty in at least three independently reproduced transitions:- When a changed-file result arrives while the view is in diff mode (or no file view is active),
model.go:2935-2949records no invalidation. Returning to full mode usesstartFileViewLoadCmd, so an equal-size/equal-mtime entry is accepted as current. The reproduction rewrotepackage oldtopackage new, preserved metadata, delivered the mutation in diff mode, and full mode continued to renderpackage old. - When the full view does schedule
refreshSource=true, the resize handler atmodel.go:2457-2460can advancedesiredSeqwith an ordinaryrefreshSource=falserequest before the refresh executes. The refresh command is then correctly rejected as obsolete, but the winning resize request is allowed to reuse the stale entry. The reproduction completed exactly that ordering and again renderedpackage oldafter disk containedpackage new. /rewindrestores workspace files but does not invalidate or reload the active snapshot. This case does not require equal metadata: the already accepted render remains authoritative because no new request is created. The reproduction verified that disk contained checkpoint contentpackage beforewhile the full view indefinitely continued to show the laterpackage afterxsnapshot.
Merge base rereads the file synchronously on every full-view render, so all three stale-display paths are introduced by moving source ownership into this cache without giving mutations durable authority. Adding reload calls to only these handlers would continue the current repair cycle: the next mutation producer or request type could lose freshness in the same way.
Please make freshness a monotonic per-path or per-view requirement. One workable design is to advance a source revision/dirty generation through a single mutation API, store the required revision in
fileViewState, carry it into every derived request, and tag cache entries with the revision they satisfy. A resize or theme request should copy the current required revision; it must not replace a forced refresh with a weaker metadata-only request. If the view is closed, the mutation API should invalidate/advance the affected path in the shared cache so reopening cannot reuse the old entry./rewind, direct changed-file results, command/shell results, and Git discovery should all call that same API. Only the authoritative completion of a physical read for the required revision may clear dirty state; failed or superseded reads must leave it pending.Add table-driven production-path tests for closed/diff/full mutation, refresh→resize and refresh→theme ordering, cache hit/miss, delete/recreate, active-full rewind, and close/reopen. Use equal-size/equal-mtime rewrites for cache-identity cases, and assert both the final bytes and that only the authoritative request clears the required source revision.

[P2] Make obsolete requests side-effect-free through the expensive stages
internal/tui/file_view.go:497
Request authority is checked at several points, but it does not cover the whole operation:- After the check at lines 497-499, a request sanitizes every retained line, runs the complete Chroma highlight, and formats the complete result before checking
liveSeqagain at line 520. A request superseded inside that interval still performs the principal CPU/allocation work issue #833 is meant to move into a cancellable job. - On a metadata cache hit with a missing render variant, lines 462-470 format up to 4,000 cached lines before the authority check. Even an existing-variant hit calls
entry.getRender, which mutates the entry's render LRU, before the request proves it is still current. handleFileViewLoadedcombines “message does not exactly match the desired snapshot” with “message generation is old.” It reaches the generation-retry branch before establishing that the sequence itself is current. A deterministic probe completed sequence 2, then delivered the old-generation sequence-1 result; the obsolete message advanceddesiredSeqto 3, cleared the ready snapshot, and scheduled another disk/highlight cycle.
This is not fixed by adding one more check immediately before cache commit. Model rejection protects display correctness after work has finished; it does not cancel the expensive work, prevent obsolete cache/LRU effects, or stop an old message from creating a new request. The issue explicitly asks for a cancellable
tea.Cmd, and repeated resize/theme/mutation supersession can otherwise recreate the duplicate work and allocation pressure the PR is intended to remove.Please define one request object/authority containing lifetime, sequence, required source revision, width/fingerprint, and theme generation, and require it to be current before each stage and shared side effect. If Chroma cannot observe cancellation inside one call, either coalesce work so only one authoritative transform per source/theme is in flight, serialize replacement work at that boundary, or split the transform into cancellable units; simply discarding the final message is insufficient. Cache lookup/LRU touch, variant insertion, source-entry replacement, eviction, loading-state changes, and retries must all be gated by the same authority.
In
handleFileViewLoaded, first reject any path/lifetime/sequence/width/fingerprint mismatch with no state change and no command. Only an otherwise-current message whose generation became invalid may request a retry, and that retry must inherit the current source-freshness requirement. Add deterministic stage hooks around source acquisition, cache-hit formatting, highlight start/end, and cache mutation; supersede A with B at each hook and assert that A performs no later expensive stage, cache/LRU mutation, loading-state change, or retry. Also cover current-new-generation completion followed by an obsolete-old-generation completion, which must be a complete no-op. - After the check at lines 497-499, a request sanitizes every retained line, runs the complete Chroma highlight, and formats the complete result before checking

[P3] Do not activate a Run-details file that is not rendered
internal/tui/model.go:1660
runDetailsLayoutcorrectly filtersfileHitswhen the FILES section is capped and replaces the tail with… more in transcript. This Enter handler bypasses that final layout and treats any model-wideselectedFileas the modal's active target. If a file selected earlier in the transcript falls below the overflow cap after newer mutations arrive, Run details displays no selected row for it, but Enter still callsselectFilewith that hidden path. Because it is already the model selection,selectFiletreats this as a second activation, closes the modal, and opens the file view. The reproduction usedweb/app.jsabsent from every finalfileHit; Enter nevertheless activatedweb/app.js.The root problem is using historical global selection as current modal-row identity. Please give Run details an explicit selection derived from its final structured rows, or revalidate/clear
selectedFileagainstrunDetailsLayout.fileHitswhenever the modal opens or its rows change. Keyboard and mouse activation should resolve through the same final row object; headers, overflow trailers, following sections, and filtered files must have no file target. If global selection is intentionally allowed to survive, it should not become an Enter target until the corresponding visible row is explicitly activated in the current modal.Add Update-level tests for first/last visible rows, a selection that becomes overflow-hidden after new mutations, the overflow trailer, a following non-file section, modal reopen with a historical selection, and first-selection versus second-activation behavior. Assert both the selected path and whether the modal/file view changes.

[P3] Normalize changed-line keys with the rendered source
internal/tui/file_view.go:505
The current-head security fix correctly sanitizes source before both highlighting branches, but it also changes the representation used for changed-line identity. Tabs become four spaces incleanLines, whilefileViewChangedLinesat line 914 stores raw diff text.formatFileViewLinesthen compares the sanitized source line with that unsanitized map. An added line containing an interior tab therefore renders safely but loses its accent gutter marker. The reproduction used+var Field\t= 1; the displayed source becamevar Field = 1and had no marker. Merge base compared raw source with raw diff text, so this mismatch is introduced by the current-head sanitizer repair.The root problem is using display text as identity after applying a many-to-one security transform. Please separate source identity from terminal-safe presentation. The simplest bounded fix is to retain original bounded lines for matching and sanitized lines for highlighting/display; alternatively, define one canonical matching function and apply it to both source lines and diff keys before computing the fingerprint and performing lookup. If canonicalization is used, document how tabs, stripped controls, leading/trailing whitespace, and collisions are handled so the cache fingerprint and formatter cannot disagree.
Add regressions for interior tabs, tab-versus-spaces canonicalization, and control characters removed by sanitization in both lexer-success and no-lexer fallback paths. Assert that no source control sequence reaches output, the cache fingerprint uses the same matching representation as the formatter, and the added line retains its marker.

[P2] Preserve unknown-scope command mutations while the view is inactive
internal/tui/model.go:2940Observed behavior: I cached
package old, closed the file view, rewrote the file through the command-result path to the equal-length textpackage new, restored the original mtime, and reopened the view. The reopened full view displayedpackage old. A changed size or mtime normally hides this problem becauseloadAndRenderdetects it, but metadata identity is only a cache heuristic; commands can preserve timestamps, and the code already has source revisions specifically to make reported mutations authoritative.Root cause: invalidation is coupled to the currently visible file instead of to the mutation event. Direct file-tool results correctly call
invalidatePathfor everychangedFilesentry even while the view is closed. In contrast,bash/exec_commandresults at lines 2940–2956 invalidate onlym.fileView.pathand only when a view is active.bashResultMsgat lines 3031–3035 schedules an active full-view refresh without advancing cache authority, andgitSweepMsgupdates the FILES roster but does not invalidate the paths the sweep discovered. The refresh responsibility is therefore split across several routes: an inactive view can lose an unknown-scope mutation, while an active plan command can batch an eager refresh and then be superseded or repeated when the sweep returns.Repair guidance: centralize mutation-to-cache handling around two inputs: concrete changed paths and an unknown mutation scope. Invalidate concrete paths independently of whether a view is open. When a command may have changed files but no reliable path set is available (including an unavailable/failed sweep), conservatively advance an appropriate cache generation or dirty marker. Only after recording that durable freshness state should the code schedule at most one load for the active full-view target. This keeps closed/diff/full modes consistent and coalesces the eager-command and post-sweep routes without changing how the FILES roster is populated. Add coverage for a closed view, equal-size/equal-mtime content, unavailable Git discovery, and both possible command/sweep completion orders.

[P1] Return the rewind reload through Bubble Tea instead of executing it inside Update
internal/tui/session_controls.go:798Observed behavior: after a successful
/rewind,handleRewindCommandcreates the new file-viewtea.Cmdand immediately callscmd(). That call performsos.Stat, open/read, sanitization, Chroma tokenization, formatting, and cache insertion before the command handler returns.dispatchCommandinvokes this handler synchronously from the Bubble Tea update path atmodel.go:4920–4924, so a large or slow file blocks input processing. This recreates the UI-freeze mechanism that issue #833 asked this PR to remove, specifically on the rewind refresh route.Root cause: the ordinary load paths propagate a
tea.Cmdback to Bubble Tea, but the rewind handler returns only(model, string). Because its API has no command result, the new refresh was forced through the synchronouscmd()escape hatch.Repair guidance: extend the rewind command boundary to return a
tea.Cmd, following the existing compact-command pattern or another established async command pattern in this package. Let Bubble Tea execute the load and deliverfileViewLoadedMsg; do not invoke anytea.Cmdfrom insideUpdate. Keep request token/revision checks in the normal completion handler so a close, resize, theme change, or newer refresh can reject the rewind result. A regression test should calldispatchCommand, assert that it returns promptly with a non-nil command, and deliver the returned message separately before checking the refreshed content. -
[P2] Invalidate file snapshots when rewind changes disk but a later step fails
internal/tui/session_controls.go:761Observed behavior: cache clearing happens only at line 791, after
ApplyRewind, metadata reload, andReadEventsall succeed.ApplyRewindrestores workspace files first (internal/sessions/rewind.go:249) and then performs fallible event truncation and marker append operations at lines 253–261. It can therefore return an error after files have changed. A successful rewind followed byReadEventsfailure also returns at lines 776–779 before invalidation. In both cases, a previously accepted full-file snapshot can continue owning the pre-rewind bytes even though the workspace is already at least partly restored.Root cause: filesystem freshness is treated as a consequence of the entire rewind transaction succeeding. The transaction actually has two separate effects: workspace restoration and session-log/readback consistency. Failure of the latter does not roll back the former, so cache authority cannot be committed only on the all-success path.
Repair guidance: mark the file-view cache dirty as soon as workspace restoration may have begun, and preserve that dirty state on every later return. One bounded approach is for the rewind result to report whether restoration touched or may have touched the workspace even when a later persistence step fails; a conservative invalidation before applying rewind is also safe if every exit leaves an active view reloadable rather than permanently showing a loading state. Combine this with the asynchronous command boundary above so success and partial-failure results can both schedule an authoritative reload without blocking Update. Add failure-injection tests for an error after restore and for
ReadEventsfailure, checking both an active full view and reopening a closed view. -
[P2] Bound expensive work after a file-view request is superseded
internal/tui/file_view.go:563Observed behavior:
liveSeqis checked immediately beforereadFileViewBoundedand before Chroma highlighting, then only after each whole operation returns. If a resize, theme change, close, or newer mutation supersedes the request after line 563 or after line 591 begins, the obsolete request still completes that entire stage. The 1 MiB source cap bounds ordinary-file input size, but it does not makeos.Open/ReadSlicecancellable and it does not bound Chroma's execution time. A Git-visible symlink whose target is a FIFO is one concrete blocking-read path becauseos.Statfollows the symlink and no regular-file check rejects it. Rapid resizes can also overlap multiple obsolete highlight operations before their post-stage checks run.Root cause:
liveSeqcurrently controls whether a result may commit, not whether the underlying work may continue. The tests supersede at hooks immediately before a stage starts, so they prove pre-stage rejection but do not exercise supersession after a blocking/expensive stage has begun.Repair guidance: preserve the byte and line caps, but add an execution bound as well as a commit-time authority check. Reject non-regular targets using the followed
FileInfobefore opening them. For regular reads, make the loop observe cancellation between bounded chunks where possible. If Chroma cannot accept a context, serialize/coalesce highlighting so each file-view lifetime has at most one expensive transform in flight, or use a cancellable highlighting boundary; the key invariant is that rapid supersession cannot accumulate obsolete CPU work. Add tests that supersede after a read/highlight has entered—not only before the hook returns—and a special-target test that completes without blocking.

Reviewed fresh at 5b79f249. My earlier review at 629f0c44 was dismissed and 21 commits have landed since, so I am not standing on it. The speed work is real and I want it in; two things need fixing first.
Worth stating up front: only one check is reporting on this head, so nothing below is backed by CI.
1. The cache has a count bound but no byte ceiling, and closing the view releases nothing.
fileViewRenderCache evicts on entries only, for len(c.items) > c.maxEntries at file_view.go:648, and there is not one mention of a byte or character bound in the whole file. Each of the 64 entries holds the sanitized source, the ANSI-highlighted display, and up to four rendered width variants, so the highlight is the amplifier rather than the source size.
The contract you want already exists one file away. staticRenderCache bounds entries and retained characters (256 and 512 KiB), refuses outright to cache a single entry over the character bound, and evicts while either bound is exceeded. fileViewRenderCache takes only maxEntries.
Measured through the real path, after runtime.GC(): 64 of the largest non-test .go files under internal/ retain 35.5 MiB at one width and 84.7 MiB after resizing through four; 64 files sized to the per-file caps retain 613 MiB. Driving 64 files of 2 MiB each through the model path and pressing Esc on every one still left 350 MiB resident with 64 entries and 256 render variants. Base on the same input retains 0.1 MiB while still emitting 1.2 million ANSI escapes, so it highlights and keeps nothing.
exitFileView only revokes the request and resets the view state; the only two clear() calls in production are /rewind and a theme change. So this is a high plateau rather than runaway growth, which is why it is a fix and not an emergency. One note on the PR body: the "enforced hard memory limits" are per-file read limits, and they were all respected in the 613 MiB run.
2. A same-size, mtime-preserving rewrite is served stale, and base never can be.
The freshness key at file_view.go:514 is modtime, size and display path, plus a revision bumped only for paths that arrive in a tool result's changedFiles. Rewrite a file to the same length while preserving its timestamp, reopen, and head shows the old bytes where base shows the new ones. Base re-reads inside every View(), so it cannot be stale by construction.
The honest narrow version, because refutation trimmed this one: no natural same-tick collision fired in 40 attempts, an ordinary write while the view is closed is caught, and the entry self-heals on the next sweep or bash result while the view is open in full mode, though a resize does not since it passes refreshSource=false. So the live trigger is a timestamp-preserving same-size writer, cp -p, rsync -t, tar -xp, touch -r, reopened before a sweep. Display only, no data loss. I am still calling it out because it is a regression against base in a cache whose whole job is to not lie about file contents, and because TestFileViewTransitionMatrix_MutationClosedDiffFull shows you already knew modtime plus size is insufficient: every case in it delivers a changedFiles row, so none covers the out-of-band write.
3. Smaller: pathRevisions is the one unbounded container in an otherwise bounded struct.
There is no delete(c.pathRevisions...) anywhere in the tree. The eviction loop touches only items and lru, and clear() increments every key rather than dropping it. Five hundred tool results through the real path leave items=0 lru=0 pathRevisions=500, and it survives /clear. About 172 bytes per distinct changed path, so slow rather than fatal, but it is the only per-path container here with no bound and no release.
The fix, as one change to one struct. Give fileViewRenderCache a retained byte counter alongside maxEntries, exactly as staticRenderCache has: evict while retained is over the cap, refuse to cache a single entry above it and render that one uncached, count the display string and every render variant, and drop the entry's pathRevisions key when the entry is evicted so the unbounded map goes with it. Then close the staleness hole in the same pass by verifying rather than inferring: the bounded read is only 1 MiB and is not what costs, so on open re-read and hash the bounded source, compare against the cached hash, and keep the expensive highlight and format only on a match. Pick whatever byte figure you like, but put it in a comment and pin it, because TestFileViewCacheEviction asserts only a count today and defaultFileViewCacheMaxEntries = 64 carries no comment at all.
Things I checked that are right, so you do not need to revisit them. The byte-budget commit is load-bearing: crediting back each line's delimiter fails TestReadFileViewBounded_SourceByteBudgetCountsDelimiters on its property assertions in five subtests. The sanitizer is a genuine security fix and is load-bearing: replacing sanitizeRawFileLine with the identity fails the test with a raw OSC 52 clipboard write in the output, and base leaks all eleven escape cases including ESC[2J ESC[H and bare CR. A differential fuzz of readFileViewBounded against an independent reference model over 4000 random files found zero mismatches, and 200 files forcing the buffer-full accumulation path likewise. Multi-byte at the cap cuts mid-rune and the sanitizer repairs it, with Chroma never panicking. -race -count=5 gives zero data races, with the only two failures reproducing identically on base. Supersession is clean: a revoked load mutates nothing and caches nothing, and 300 back-to-back resize loads return to the starting goroutine count. Unreadable targets all return promptly with a themed error rather than hanging.
Three things I dropped after checking, so nobody re-files them: the trailer wording for a single-line file cut by the budget is the only conservative wording available and base shows no notice at all; the bidi and Trojan Source characters surviving the sanitizer leak identically on base plus more; and the inline load in handleRewindCommand is real but base does the same work on the same goroutine every frame, measured slower, so it is a net improvement.
