CheckpointDiffQuery caps turn/full-thread diffs at 10 MB and ends them with "\n\n[truncated]" (both the multi-batch path and the single-batch path, which re-cuts and re-appends after the git driver's own marker). DiffPanel's isSelectedPatchTruncated only looked at tool-call and git-preview flags, so a cut-off turn diff rendered with no incomplete notice. The marker is now exported once from contracts (CHECKPOINT_DIFF_TRUNCATED_MARKER in checkpointDiff.ts), the server uses that constant instead of a private copy, and DiffPanel also treats a selected turn's patch (not a tool-call selection) ending in the marker as truncated, which shows the existing 'This preview exceeds the size limit. Changes shown are incomplete.' notice. No new regex: a plain endsWith check, O(marker length). A genuine unified diff cannot end in an unprefixed '[truncated]' line (every content line starts with +, -, space or ), so there are no false positives. Mobile already detects the marker in reviewModel.ts, so web was the only surface missing it. The only visible change is the existing notice now appearing for truncated turn diffs.

Fixes #36073

Reproduction on main

On origin/main 7e1a058: started T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev (fresh database), added a scratch git repo as a project with t3 project add, ran a Replay (dev) showcase turn with t3 thread start --wait, then wrote 30 text files totalling about 12 MB (9,000 lines each) into the project and ran a second Replay turn with t3 thread send --wait. Paired headless Chromium (Playwright), opened the thread, and clicked 'Open diff' on the second turn. The chat's turn summary showed 30 changed files, +270k. The Diff panel's 'Latest turn' view showed +220k (about 24 of the 30 files) and no 'This preview exceeds the size limit. Changes shown are incomplete.' notice. Capture: https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/25f14852d0f0bdfa/diff.png. A browser test (pushed on factory/repro-36073) feeds a turn diff ending in the server's \n\n[truncated] marker: first.txt renders but the notice never appears ('Matcher did not succeed in time'). It passes when the truncation check also covers turn diffs ending in the marker.

Evidence

Run the same reproduction on both commits: create a fresh project, run a Replay showcase turn, generate 30 files of 9,000 lines each, run another turn, and open its Latest turn diff. Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh isolated databases. Chat reports 30 files and +270k; the truncated panel reports about +182k. Base shows no warning; head displays “This preview exceeds the size limit. Changes shown are incomplete.”

Tests

vp test run src/components/DiffPanel.browser.test.tsx (apps/web): 5/5 pass with the fix; the repro test fails without it (1 failed | 4 passed). vp test run src/checkpointing/CheckpointDiffQuery (apps/server): 6/6 pass. vp run check:changed: lint, knip, typecheck (37 packages), tests and react compiler pass; format initially failed and passed after vp fmt on the 3 changed files (the pre-commit hook re-ran fmt, lint and knip: all pass).

Not in this change

• The turn-diff contract still carries no explicit truncated flag; clients infer truncation from the marker suffix (mobile already did this).
• Header +/- totals for a truncated turn diff are still computed from the cut-off patch; the notice now marks them as incomplete, but they are not replaced with the checkpoint summary's totals.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 656df5f

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Turn diffs cut off at the size limit now show the existing warning that changes are incomplete. The server’s truncation behavior remains unchanged, keeping the impact limited to preview messaging.

Walkthrough

The server uses a shared marker when truncating checkpoint diffs. The Diff panel detects that marker and displays an incomplete-preview notice. Browser tests cover the truncated checkpoint diff.

Changes: Checkpoint diff truncation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared marker and server truncation packages/contracts/src/checkpointDiff.ts, apps/server/src/checkpointing/CheckpointDiffQuery.ts	The contracts package exports the truncation marker. The server reserves space for and appends it when truncating checkpoint diffs.
Panel detection and browser coverage apps/web/src/components/DiffPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/DiffPanel.browser.test.tsx	The Diff panel marks selected checkpoint patches ending with the shared marker as truncated. The browser test checks that the file and incomplete-preview notice appear.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: saphid, yash-singh1, nathanglasby

Merge Risk: Low · up to 656df

The incomplete-preview notice now appears for truncated turn diffs. The header line totals still reflect only the truncated preview and can be read as covering the whole turn. This is a bounded gap that can be fixed or accepted as follow-up.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the change: turn diffs cut off at the server size limit now show an incomplete notice. The changeset adds the CHECKPOINT_DIFF_TRUNCATED_MARKER export, uses it on the server, and makes DiffPanel treat a selected turn patch ending in that marker as truncated. The title uses the conventional commit format and is specific. It is a fix, which matches the linked bug report.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #36073 has two coding requirements. (1) Show an incomplete-preview notice for truncated checkpoint turn diffs. The diff adds CHECKPOINT_DIFF_TRUNCATED_MARKER to contracts, and apps/web/src/components/DiffPanel.tsx sets isSelectedPatchTruncated when a selected turn patch ends with that marker. The existing 'Changes shown are incomplete.' notice then renders. The server in apps/server/src/checkpointing/CheckpointDiffQuery.ts appends the same exported constant, so the client and server use one marker. (2) Do not present the file list and line totals as covering the whole turn. The notice now states that the shown changes are incomplete. The header +/- totals still derive from the truncated patch, and the PR states this. The notice qualifies those totals, so the requirement is met by the existing mechanism, but the totals are not independently labeled. The browser test in DiffPanel.browser.test.tsx covers the notice case, and the PR reports the test fails without the fix. Test results were taken from the PR description; I did not run them.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed hunks are limited to the issue's scope. DiffPanel.tsx adds the marker check for turn selections only and leaves tool-call and git checks unchanged. CheckpointDiffQuery.ts replaces a private marker constant with the shared export. Its byte-length reservation logic is unchanged in behavior. The browser test and contract constant support the same notice behavior. No unrelated files were identified in the PR summary.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template well. It states the problem (checkpoint turn diffs truncated at the 10 MB cap show no incomplete notice in the Diff panel), describes the change (shared CHECKPOINT_DIFF_TRUNCATED_MARKER in contracts, server uses the constant, DiffPanel treats a selected turn patch ending in the marker as truncated), links the issue (fixes #36073), and gives verification details (reproduction on main, before/after screenshots, browser and server test results, and check runs). It also notes what is not covered: no explicit truncated flag on the turn-diff contract, and header line totals still come from the truncated patch. The Verification section cites a 'Tests' list and before/after table, and it names the model and harness used. The only gap is that the before/after evidence relies on external links, which the template allows.

Qualify turn statistics when the checkpoint preview is truncated.

When the server omits later files or hunks, this calculation uses only the parsed preview. Lines 1151-1156 still display those counts as unqualified turn statistics. The new notice does not identify the counts as partial.

Use complete checkpoint-summary counts, label these counts as preview-only, or hide them for truncated checkpoint previews. This remains part of the linked issue's requested outcome.
