ConversationSession seeds a stored draft in its own mount effect, and a parent's mount effect runs after its children's — so the unlock effect measured an empty mirror and never ran again for the draft that then appeared, leaving a restored long draft showing its head with the caret at its end. The effect now depends on the draft being non-empty; clearing on send and typing the first character flip it too, where both the focus and the reveal are no-ops. Pre-existing (the old geometry did not scroll for a programmatic value change either), fixed here because the reveal now exists.
Also from review: the golden's paste goes back to a block NOT ending in a newline, so the collapsed branch keeps a real engine under it while the standalone case owns the after-newline branch; the shared line-height rule names the reveal as its third consumer.
A caret straight after a newline is on a line with nothing to measure — the shape a trailing-newline draft ends in. chromium returns no client rects at all for the collapsed position (an all-zero box, which sent the reveal upward instead), firefox reports the line above, WebKit the right one. Measure the newline the caret just left and step one line down: all three then land on 649 of 652 with the caret's line at 315 inside the 336px box. The browser case now pastes a newline-terminated block, and fails 'expected 0 to be greater than 0' without the rule.
preventScroll stopped the browser from revealing a focus nobody gestured for, and took the caret with it. The composer DOM is reused across sessions, so switching to a longer draft keeps the previous offset while the value swap puts the caret at the new draft's end: measured on all three engines, 940px below a box sitting at 0, where the old geometry reached the caret at 628. The unlock effect now suppresses the browser's walk and reveals the caret in its own scrollport, landing at 625 of 628. The focus-keeping mousedown gets preventScroll too and needs no reveal. revealCaret returns early when the box cannot scroll: the draft fits, so every caret is already in view.
Pasting a long block left the view where it was while the caret sat at the
end of what was pasted. Paste, ctrl/meta-Enter newline and cut all suppress
the native edit — the machine owns the draft and the undo log — and restore
the caret with `setSelectionRange`, which reveals nothing: measured in
chromium and WebKit, before this branch as well as on it. Firefox happened to
reveal it, in the old geometry only.
The three restores now share one helper that measures the caret against the
hidden mirror — same draft, same metrics, same wrap width, so a Range
collapsed at the caret's index reports where the caret is without a caret API
— and scrolls the scrollport the minimum that brings the line inside, which
is what the browser does for typing. One scrollport is what makes this
possible at all: the reveal is finally a single offset to move.
Also from review: the composer's own focus() on unlock and session switch
passes preventScroll, so a session switch cannot move the transcript through
the taller textarea's reveal chain.
The composer paints its draft in two layers — the textarea owns the value,
the selection and the caret, the backdrop paints every visible glyph — and
they had one scroll offset each, kept equal by a `scroll` listener. That
holds at rest and not in motion: a wheel gesture scrolls the textarea on the
compositor, the listener runs afterwards, and for those frames the caret sits
at the new offset with the words at the old one. Measured on a harness of the
same geometry, a 200px offset change separates caret from glyphs by ~200px
(chromium 203, firefox 202, WebKit 203) until a later frame — the caret
flying out of its own text when a user swipes a long draft quickly.
Both layers now ride one scrollport: `[data-input-scroll]` carries the
14-line cap, the auto-grow stack inside it is as tall as the whole draft, and
the textarea holds no scrollable overflow of its own. The browser applies one
offset to both layers in the same frame, so the coupling is structural rather
than maintained. The backdrop's trailing-line sentinel and the cross-engine
wrap-width premise go with the mirror: the layers now share a containing
block, which closes the WebKit 768-against-776 gap by construction.
