Summary

  • The assistant-ui chat composer cancels CJK IME composition mid-keystroke: each pre-edit stage is committed as literal text (typing nihao + commit leaves n ni nihao 你好). Root cause is the host-side DOM→store bridge in thread.tsx pushing the contenteditable's mid-composition textContent into aui.composer.setText.
  • The bridge is now gated on composition state: closed while composing, re-synced once on compositionend (capture-phase snapshot + finalized-DOM read one macrotask later, falling back to the snapshot when Lexical has re-owned the DOM in between).
  • Added a regression test to Conversations.render.test.tsx that fails against the unguarded bridge and passes with the gate.

Problem

  • Introduced in refactor(ui): migrate settings and assistant chat surfaces #5683 (2026-08-23). The onInputCapture handler on LexicalComposerInput read the raw DOM textContent on every input event — including per-keystroke insertCompositionText during an IME composition — and pushed it into the composer store via queueMicrotask.
  • During composition the DOM contains pre-edit text that Lexical has not committed to editor state, so the pushed string disagrees with SyncPlugin's lastSyncedTextRef. The plugin's runtime→Lexical apply path then rebuilds the editor (root.clear() + re-create) mid-composition, destroying the composition node. The IME cancels the composition and commits the current pre-edit as literal text; the cycle repeats per keystroke — n, ni, nihao all leak as literal text before the final 你好.
  • Plain English input never triggers it (no composition → the round-trip is idempotent for committed text). Reproduced with several Chinese IMEs on macOS; the mechanism affects all composition-based input (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) on every platform. Full repro + analysis in Chat composer cancels IME composition mid-keystroke and commits pre-edit text as literal characters #5763.

Solution

  • Gate, don't delete. Removing the bridge outright fails 22 tests in Conversations.render.test.tsx: jsdom drives the composer by setting textContent and firing a synthetic input event (setComposerText), which never reaches Lexical's editor-state commits, so the bridge is the only path from that input into the store. In a real browser the package's SyncPlugin already owns editor-state→store sync (composition-safe: isComposing guards + idempotent lastSyncedTextRef), so the gated bridge is redundant there for plain text and inert during composition.
  • Gate mechanics (thread.tsx):
    • isComposingTextRef set by onCompositionStartCapture/onCompositionEndCapture (capture phase — the same channel the existing onInputCapture uses). onInputCapture returns early while composing, and also when the input event itself reports isComposing.
    • On compositionend: snapshot textContent at capture time, then setTimeout(0) and prefer the finalized DOM — Chrome finalizes the composed DOM before the event, WebKit only after it, and Lexical re-owns (may clear) the DOM while handling that same event, so neither a purely synchronous nor a purely deferred read is correct everywhere. The fallback keeps the jsdom bridge path working.
  • Upstream treats "never interrupt an in-flight composition" as a first-class invariant (assistant-ui#4506 / docs(plans): phased plan for RLM language-based workflows (tinyagents rhai REPL) #4510 / docs: TinyCortex memory migration plan — audit, ownership split, workstreams #4513 / security/policy: a missing workspace is reported as a path-traversal escape #5416); this change removes exactly the kind of mid-composition write-back those fixes target.
  • A code comment pins the constraint so the bridge isn't "simplified" away (breaks the jsdom suite) or un-gated again (breaks IME).

Submission Checklist

  • Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case) per Testing Strategy
  • Diff coverage ≥ 80% — the new gate branches in thread.tsx (composition active / event isComposing / end-of-composition sync incl. fallback) are all exercised by the new test; full Vitest suite green locally (8461 passed / 0 failed).
  • Coverage matrix updated — N/A: behaviour-only change to an existing component, no feature rows added/removed
  • All affected feature IDs from the matrix are listed under ## Related — N/A: no matrix feature IDs map to the composer input bridge
  • No new external network dependencies introduced — no dependency changes at all
  • Manual smoke checklist updated — N/A: no release-cut surface touched
  • Linked issue closed via Closes #NNN — see ## Related

Impact

  • Runtime: desktop + web chat composer (the normal text-chat route). All IME users (Chinese/Japanese/Korean); English typing, Enter-to-send, send-then-clear and draft persistence are unchanged.
  • No API, wire, or persistence changes. No new dependencies.

Linear Issue

Commit & Branch

  • Branch: fix/composer-ime-composition
  • Commit SHA: e9ffab614

Validation Run

  • pnpm --filter openhuman-app format:check
  • pnpm typecheck (via pnpm compile)
  • Focused tests: vitest run --config test/vitest.config.ts src/pages/__tests__/Conversations.render.test.tsx → 55/55 passed; full pnpm test → 8461 passed / 0 failed
  • Rust fmt/check (if changed): no Rust changes; pnpm rust:clippy run via the pre-push hook (see Validation Blocked note on the first attempt)
  • Tauri fmt/check (if changed): no Tauri changes

Validation Blocked

  • command:
  • error:
  • impact: — none. (The first git push failed because the pre-push hook's cargo fmt/rust:clippy steps tried to download the rustup 1.96.1 toolchain with rust-docs over a proxied network and timed out; installing the toolchain with --profile minimal resolved it. Not a code issue.)

Behavior Changes

  • Intended behavior change: the composer store no longer receives pre-edit text during an active IME composition; the committed composition text arrives once, after compositionend.
  • User-visible effect: CJK input via IME composes normally (nihao + commit → 你好) instead of leaking n ni nihao 你好; all other input paths behave as before.

Parity Contract

  • Legacy behavior preserved: English typing → store sync unchanged (onInputCapture path when not composing); Enter-to-send unchanged (package KeyboardPlugin guards isComposing; host keyCode-229 guard untouched); attachment-only send and its setText('') untouched; ComposerTextBridge draft/programmatic writes untouched.
  • Guard/fallback/dispatch parity checks: Conversations.render.test.tsx (55 tests, incl. the new one) green; full suite green.

Duplicate / Superseded PR Handling

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved text entry for input methods such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
    • Prevented partially composed text from appearing prematurely or enabling Send.
    • Finalized text now appears correctly after composition is committed.
    • Composer synchronization now resumes cleanly when composition ends.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying composer behavior during composition and after committed text is entered.

…tion

The input-capture bridge pushed the contenteditable's mid-composition
pre-edit text into aui.composer.setText, which made the package's
SyncPlugin rebuild the editor mid-keystroke, cancelling the composition
and committing each pre-edit stage as literal text ("n ni nihao 你好").

The bridge itself stays — it is the only path the jsdom suite's
synthetic input (setComposerText) takes into the store, since Lexical's
editor-state commits never fire there — but it is now closed while
composing and re-syncs once on compositionend: snapshot the text at
capture time, prefer the finalized DOM one macrotask later (WebKit
finalizes only after the event), and fall back to the snapshot when
Lexical has re-owned the DOM in between.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The composer tracks IME composition state and skips DOM-to-store synchronization for composing input. On compositionend, it only reopens synchronization. The regression test uses the normal input bridge for committed text and verifies Send action enablement.

Poem

A rabbit guards the typing gate,
While letters choose their final state.
No pre-edit crumbs hop into store,
The committed words arrive once more.
The Send button wakes in light,
And IME hops through the night.

P2 Badge Preserve an intentionally empty composition result

When a WebKit user cancels an IME composition in an otherwise empty composer, the capture-phase snapshot can still contain the pre-edit text while the finalized DOM correctly becomes empty. The finalized || textAtCompositionEnd fallback treats that valid empty result as absent and writes the canceled pre-edit text into the composer store, so pressing Escape can leave text the user explicitly discarded. Distinguish Lexical re-owning the DOM from a genuinely empty/canceled composition rather than using truthiness.

Addressed in 6c8651f: compositionend now only re-opens the gate — no store write of its own. The commit's own input event (isComposing false) flows through the ordinary bridge once the gate is open, and in a real browser SyncPlugin's compositionend commit remains the authoritative sync. This removes both the race with a composition starting inside the same macrotask, and the resurrection of pre-edit text from a cancelled composition when the finalized DOM is legitimately empty.

Address review feedback on the composition gate: the deferred
compositionend write raced a composition started inside the same
macrotask (cancelling it), and its pre-edit fallback resurrected the
text of a cancelled composition when the finalized DOM was legitimately
empty. compositionend now only re-opens the gate — the commit's own

in a real browser SyncPlugin's commit remains the authoritative sync.

… the IME composer bridge (tinyhumansai#5763)

Two new spec files, no product change. Both areas were uncovered: the
existing ~14 chat specs cover mid-stream failure and Enter-key suppression
during IME composition, neither of which is what these two issues report.

app/test/playwright/specs/chat-pre-stream-failure.spec.ts
  Reproduces tinyhumansai#5729 end to end. A connection reset injected on the completion
  request (the mock backend's `httpFaultRules` engine, via /__admin/behavior —
  no shared harness file is touched) kills the turn before any stream event,
  so no `chat_error` is published and the UI shows nothing until
  `armSilenceTimer`'s 120s watchdog. The first test asserts the behaviour the
  product should have and is marked `test.fail()`, so it flips to a hard
  failure the day tinyhumansai#5729 is fixed. The other two pin what users get today: the
  turn is silently dropped (an empty assistant bubble mounts, no banner, the
  scripted answer never arrives) and the composer still recovers for a retry.

  Each test gates on a `/__admin/requests` poll proving the turn actually
  reached the LLM route, so "no banner" cannot be confused with "the send
  never left the client" — which is exactly what the first draft got wrong.

app/src/components/chat/composer/__tests__/useComposerTextBridge.ime.test.tsx
  Pins the tinyhumansai#5763 mechanism. `useComposerTextBridge` is deliberately
  prop-wins and composition-unaware, so every intermediate IME pre-edit value
  is written back into the composer store — i.e. the textarea's value is
  assigned mid-composition, which is what commits the pre-edit buffer and
  produces the reported `nihao` -> `n ni nihao 你好` accumulation. Three
  community PRs are open (tinyhumansai#5791, tinyhumansai#5775, tinyhumansai#5764); this does not pick one, it
  makes the seam visible so any of them turns these tests red.

Every test was revert-checked and fails with its own assertion named.

  Pins the tinyhumansai#5763 mechanism. `useComposerTextBridge` is deliberately
  prop-wins and composition-unaware, so every intermediate IME pre-edit value
  is written back into the composer store — i.e. the textarea's value is
  assigned mid-composition, which is what commits the pre-edit buffer and
  produces the reported `nihao` -> `n ni nihao 你好` accumulation. Three
  community PRs are open (tinyhumansai#5791, tinyhumansai#5775, tinyhumansai#5764); this does not pick one, it
  makes the seam visible so any of them turns these tests red.

Every test was revert-checked and fails with its own assertion named.

Thanks for this, @ligjn — you reported #5763 and you fixed it first, and this is a close call decided on one browser-support constraint rather than on quality.

Why #5775 is the one we're taking: it writes the committed text on onCompositionEndCapture. You deliberately don't, and your reasoning for that is sound and clearly documented — a write there can race a new composition that starts before the deferred microtask read, and can resurrect the pre-edit text of a cancelled composition when the finalized DOM is legitimately empty. Both hazards are real.

But we hard-support Safari 16.6, and WebKit does not emit the trailing input event with isComposing === false that this fix relies on to carry the commit through the bridge. On Safari, that means committed IME text never reaches the store at all. A narrow race is a worse outcome than a correct commit; an entire browser engine silently dropping every CJK commit is a broken feature.

Your isComposingTextRef gate is going in anyway. I've asked on #5775 for it to be added and checked inside the queued microtask, so the compositionend write can't fire into a composition that has already restarted. That's your design closing the exact hazard you identified, on top of the Safari path.

So: the analysis in this PR is right, the comments in it are the clearest write-up of the bug anyone produced, and half of it is landing. Sorry it's arriving under someone else's number.

The store write is deferred by a microtask, so a fast CJK typist can open
the next composition before it runs. That stale write rebuilds the editor
mid-composition and cancels it -- tinyhumansai#5763 again, one composition later.

Gate it on an `isComposingTextRef` set at `compositionstart` and cleared
at `compositionend`, checked INSIDE the queued microtask rather than only
at event time. The `compositionend` write stays, so WebKit -- which emits
no trailing `input` with `isComposing === false` -- still gets the
committed text. Dropping a stale write loses nothing: the DOM is the
source of truth and the next commit reads the whole of it.

The guard is @ligjn's, from tinyhumansai#5764, which named both hazards.

Tests: the race (a second `compositionstart` before the queued write runs)
and a cancelled composition that finalizes empty.

… the IME composer bridge (tinyhumansai#5763)\n\nTwo new spec files, no product change. Both areas were uncovered: the\nexisting ~14 chat specs cover mid-stream failure and Enter-key suppression\nduring IME composition, neither of which is what these two issues report.\n\napp/test/playwright/specs/chat-pre-stream-failure.spec.ts\n  Reproduces tinyhumansai#5729 end to end. A connection reset injected on the completion\n  request (the mock backend's `httpFaultRules` engine, via /__admin/behavior —\n  no shared harness file is touched) kills the turn before any stream event,\n  so no `chat_error` is published and the UI shows nothing until\n  `armSilenceTimer`'s 120s watchdog. The first test asserts the behaviour the\n  product should have and is marked `test.fail()`, so it flips to a hard\n  failure the day tinyhumansai#5729 is fixed. The other two pin what users get today: the\n  turn is silently dropped (an empty assistant bubble mounts, no banner, the\n  scripted answer never arrives) and the composer still recovers for a retry.\n\n  Each test gates on a `/__admin/requests` poll proving the turn actually\n  reached the LLM route, so "no banner" cannot be confused with "the send\n  never left the client" — which is exactly what the first draft got wrong.\n\napp/src/components/chat/composer/__tests__/useComposerTextBridge.ime.test.tsx\n  Pins the tinyhumansai#5763 mechanism. `useComposerTextBridge` is deliberately\n  prop-wins and composition-unaware, so every intermediate IME pre-edit value\n  is written back into the composer store — i.e. the textarea's value is\n  assigned mid-composition, which is what commits the pre-edit buffer and\n  produces the reported `nihao` -> `n ni nihao 你好` accumulation.
