fix(mobile): the iPad inspector hides the sidebar where the page would get too narrow by juliusmarminge · Pull Request #27218 · pingdotgg/t3code

juliusmarminge · 2026-10-29T23:01:11Z

On iOS 26 the native inspector column opened beside the sidebar at any width. On a portrait 13" iPad that left the thread about 290pt. The JS columns already move the sidebar out of the way when the page would drop under 560pt. The native path was exempt because UIKit sizes its inspector column itself (https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/24985).

The shell now owns the native inspector's width and applies the same rule with a 320pt minimum:

iPad	Page beside sidebar + inspector	Result
11", landscape	330–336pt	three columns
13", landscape	446pt	three columns
mini, landscape	317pt	thread + inspector
13", portrait	289pt	thread + inspector

The sidebar button closes the inspector and brings the sidebar back, as on the JS path. layout.test.ts covers both sides.

Before (13" portrait, previous layer): the thread squeezed to about 290pt.

After: the sidebar steps aside and the sidebar button appears in the thread bar.

Not part of this change: with the sidebar hidden, by this rule or by hand, the workspace tab pill floats over the composer's left end. That already happens on the layer below.

Part of the workspace split. Stacked on https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/27205.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The inspector now automatically hides the sidebar when space is tight and uses shared mobile headers. Human review is required for the changed layout default and the new lint-suppression directive in AppBar.tsx.

Walkthrough

The native workspace now tracks inspector width as a viewport-relative value. Pane layout uses that width to determine when to suppress the primary sidebar. The iOS workspace columns use the shared width when rendering and resizing the inspector.

Changes: Native workspace layout

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared inspector width and resizing `apps/mobile/src/features/layout/adaptive-workspace-context.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/features/layout/AdaptiveWorkspaceLayout.tsx`, `apps/mobile/src/features/layout/createWorkspaceStackNavigator.ios.tsx`, `apps/mobile/src/lib/layout.ts`	The adaptive layout tracks inspector width as a viewport-relative fraction and exposes the derived width and setter through context. iOS workspace columns use that width and update it from the drag-start width plus the drag delta.
Pane width rules and tests `apps/mobile/src/lib/layout.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/lib/layout.test.ts`	Pane layout uses native inspector width to determine when to suppress the primary sidebar. `nativeInspectorColumnWidth` applies a 260 px floor and a 60% viewport cap. Tests cover wide landscape and narrow portrait layouts.

Add a non-default inspector width to the native layout table.

Both current native-inspector cases pass a width calculated with fraction 0.4. A regression that ignores nativeInspectorWidth and always uses 40% of the viewport would pass these assertions. Add a fixed-viewport case with a different width and an expected suppression result.

Make the first sidebar request close the inspector.

If a user hides the sidebar before opening the inspector, primarySidebarSuppressedByAuxiliary is false. In AdaptiveWorkspaceLayout.tsx, togglePrimarySidebar therefore sets the sidebar preference to visible without closing the inspector. This calculation immediately suppresses the sidebar, so the first press does nothing. Update the toggle to account for the width conflict even when the sidebar preference is false.

Hide the tab overlay when the inspector suppresses the sidebar.

On a portrait 13-inch iPad, opening the inspector now hides the sidebar, but WorkspaceNativeTabs.ios.tsx keeps its bottom-left overlay visible. The overlay covers the composer’s left end until the inspector closes. Hide or relocate the tabs when the sidebar is suppressed. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
