Adding a second review note could drop the first note's citation when both selections got the same chip id. Main's #24990 now appends every pull request handoff and merges chips by id, which fixes the common case. Two collisions were left:

• A removed line and an added line with the same number produced the same selection id. Selection ids from the Code tab and review guide now include both diff sides (diffReviewSelectionId).
• The same file and lines selected in two pull requests produced the same id. "Add to agent" selections are now scoped by the pull request URL.

This branch originally carried its own composer writer that replaced an unedited Explain/Ask request. Merging main superseded it: #24990 made handoffs append, so that writer and its tests were dropped in favour of main's appendHandoff.

Verification:

• reviewCommentContext.test.ts: the mixed-side case now asserts that deletion, addition and mixed-side selections of one line get distinct ids.
• pullRequestDetail.logic.test.ts: "keeps both pull requests when two repositories share a number" now uses the same selection id for both pull requests, as the Code tab does.
• vp run check:changed on a Blacksmith testbox: format, lint, knip, typecheck, react compiler and 100 tests pass, including PullRequestCodeTab.browser.test.tsx.

This looks like a good fix for a frustrating workflow bug — adding a second line comment shouldn't make the first citation disappear.

I'd make sure the regression test covers comments added from both Code and Guide, including a mix of those sources in the same draft. It'd also be worth checking that the existing replacement behavior for Ask/Explain handoffs is unchanged, since the fix is intentionally scoped to line-comment handoffs.

That should help verify both sides of the change: citations accumulate where they should, without changing the behavior of the other handoff types.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at e214ccc

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The change distinguishes diff selections by side and PR context so adding review comments preserves existing citations. It is limited to review-context identifiers, with no change to product defaults or external operations.

Walkthrough

Pull-request line selections now append prompts and review-comment citations to composer drafts. General handoffs track inserted text and preceding prompt content when replacing earlier requests. Pull-request context and selection identifiers now include URL data.

Changes: Line-comment handoffs

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Handoff prompt and context IDs apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestDetail.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/usePullRequestActions.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestDetail.logic.test.ts	Handoffs record inserted text, preceding prompt content, and related context IDs. Replacement removes a prior handoff only when its recorded text and prefix match, while preserving other prompt content and citations. Pull-request references and line-comment chip IDs use URL data. Tests cover edited, quoted, whitespace, and repeated prompt text.
Append selected-code handoffs apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestDetailPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestDetailPanel.test.tsx	Selected-code tasks append prompts and review comments. General tasks retain the replacement path. Tests cover citations, reader edits, pull-request changes, multiple line comments, and row quick actions.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 7d341

No actionable issue remains for this change; it is mergeable after normal checks.

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to 7d341

The change preserves selected review context without automatically starting agent work or broadening permissions. The reviewed paths continue to require an explicit send, and no material security regression was established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The changed operation affects the selected composer draft, which can intentionally contain context from multiple PRs. It does not itself publish comments or dispatch agent work; any downstream use remains dependent on composer submission.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Draft preparation remains separate from submission. The send path checks provider availability, send readiness, and environment operation scope before dispatch; the changed handoff path only writes draft content.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Prompt and context updates have no asynchronous gap in the handoff writer. Existing persistence defers serialization of the latest state and flushes on unload, reducing normal interleaving exposure without making the updates transactional. Ownership metadata remains process-local; when absent, the replacement helper preserves existing prose rather than claiming ownership of it.

Added the requested coverage in 8643797: Code → Guide and Guide → Code comments in one draft, general Ask/Explain replacement both with and without appended comments, and preservation of reader edits. The same flows run for the thread’s own PR, another PR beside that thread, and an unsent draft. Also covered citation collisions across PRs, repositories, and hosts. Validation: 337 focused tests passed, web typecheck passed, scoped lint passed with existing warnings, formatting and diff checks passed. Browser verification was not rerun for this follow-up.

Investigated the failed CI run on 5757d58: Test Server 4 timed out after 120 seconds in ClaudeAdapterV2 background wake turns > moves the root’s foreground subagents to the background before a steer (never answers). The aggregate Check failed because that shard failed. The exact case passes locally (vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts -t "moves the root.*before a steer.*never answers": 1 passed). No server source changed. The review fix in 7d3413e starts a fresh CI run; continuing to watch its result.

Taking over this one for batch web-misc-07: I’ll merge main, trim redundant tests, independently rebuild citation-preserving handoffs, and run parallel full-diff reviews before pushing back here. Landing remains with the coordinator.

Rebased onto current main (d53873b) as f17c1ca. Main has since removed PullRequestDetailPanel.browser.test.tsx, so the Code + Guide mixed-draft coverage requested in #19955 (comment) now lives in pullRequestDetail.logic.test.ts ("keeps Code and Guide line notes in one draft when a general ask replaces the request"), next to the existing Ask/Explain replacement and per-source selection tests. Web typecheck, the 89 logic tests, lint, and format pass.

[maria-rcks]

Note

Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria

Merged current main into this branch (e214ccc, merge commit, no rebase).

main gained #24990, which makes every pull request handoff append and merge chips by id. That already keeps the first line note's citation, and it conflicts with this branch's writer, which replaced an unedited Explain/Ask request. I resolved in favour of main's appendHandoff and dropped pullRequestComposerHandoff.ts and its replacement tests.

Kept from this branch, since main lacks them:

• side-aware selection ids (diffReviewSelectionId), so a removed and an added line with the same number no longer share a chip id
• URL-scoped "Add to agent" selection ids, so the same lines in two pull requests stay separate

Kept main's number-based sectionId: chip labels parse the PR number from it. Tests: one assertion added to the existing mixed-side case, and the existing two-repository case now uses the same selection id for both PRs. vp run check:changed passes on a Blacksmith testbox (100 tests, including the code tab browser suite). PR body updated to match.

Not verified: a live click-through in the app after the merge. The earlier live verification in this comment covered the replaced writer, so I removed it.

Closing. This PR has been open for more than 3 weeks, and main has moved a long way since then. If the change still matters, open a fresh PR from current main.
