Problem

In an Arabic or Hebrew reply, a Codex artifact template card (::artifact-template{...}) still lays out left to right while the blocks around it read right to left. The icon and name sit on the left and the "Use template" button on the right.

rehypeTextDirection gives each top-level block a dir from its own words. The card's only text is its display name, which lives in a hast property (dataDisplayName), not in text children. So the card gets no dir and inherits left to right.

Change

• CodexArtifactTemplateCard sets dir={textDirection(props.template.displayName)} on its root, the same rule the plugin and the other direction-aware components use.
• A card follows its own name, like every other block. An Arabic name gives a right-to-left card even after an English line; an English name stays left to right. A name with no letters returns no dir, so the card follows the reply.

Scope

A follow-up to #22777 for #13622, like #36876 was for folds. Small fix for an obvious bug, so no separate issue. No new direction rule.

Mobile chat replies don't get per-block direction yet, so mobile is not covered here.

Verification

• No new test: the fix only sets the card's dir from the existing textDirection rule, so per AGENTS.md the captures below are the proof.
• vp run check:changed passes.
• Checked in the web client from vp run dev on a seeded copy of real data, with one assistant reply holding an Arabic card in Arabic text, an English card after an English line, and an Arabic-named card after that English line. Measured from the DOM (CSS px, card spans x=308 to 952):

Card	Before	After
Arabic name, Arabic reply: direction	ltr	rtl
Arabic name, Arabic reply: icon x / button x	329 / 831	911 / 321
Arabic name after English line: direction	ltr	rtl
English name: direction, icon x / button x	ltr, 329 / 831	ltr, 329 / 831

• The English card matches pixel for pixel (ImageMagick compare -metric AE: 0). With the two Arabic cards masked, the rest of the message also matches exactly (0).
• Not checked: mobile, Hebrew (same textDirection rule, only Arabic was captured), the Electron shell, and dark mode.

Walkthrough

The web and mobile artifact template cards now derive text direction from the template display name and apply it to the card.

Changes: Artifact card text direction

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Set artifact card text direction apps/web/src/components/ChatMarkdown.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadFeed.tsx	Both artifact template cards use textDirection with the template display name. The mobile card applies the direction when one is available.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 3aab4

Artifact template cards now read right to left for Arabic and Hebrew names. On mobile, a mixed-language name may still render its punctuation on the wrong side unless the name text also gets an explicit writing direction. This is a minor visual issue and is low risk to merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: Arabic and Hebrew artifact template cards now read right to left. It uses the conventional commit form with the web scope. The changeset sets the card's dir from its display name via textDirection, which matches the title. The title is specific and concise.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. The problem and change are clear. Scope links the prior related work (#22777, #13622, #36876) and explains why no separate issue exists. Verification gives focused before/after DOM measurements, pixel comparison results, and screenshots, and it lists what was not checked. The description includes the agent/model line the template asks for. Minor gap: it relies on a self-described small fix rather than a linked issue for the bug, and the Scope section says the fix is a follow-up without a direct issue link for this specific bug.

Set the name Text's writing direction from the template name.

The card View sets only layout direction. The name Text keeps its default base direction. For a mixed name such as ABC تقرير المبيعات:, that default can resolve to LTR on iOS, and the trailing colon can appear on the wrong side. PendingUserInputCard.tsx already sets writingDirection next to direction. Apply the same rule to the name Text. When the name has no letters, direction is undefined and the default applies.

+          className="font-t3-bold text-sm text-foreground"

Evidence

Replayed the same four-card Arabic/English/Hebrew reply on both commits, then opened it in Chromium and native iOS. Base renders every card LTR. Head places Arabic/Hebrew icons and names on the right and Use template on the left; English remains LTR.
