Problem

In a pull request's Code tab, a file marked Viewed folds only in the moment the box is ticked. Reopen the pull request (or reload) and every viewed file opens expanded again, even though its box is still ticked.

Reproduce: set Settings → Default diff file state to Expanded, open any pull request's Code tab, tick Viewed on a file (it folds), reload or reopen the pull request, and open Code again. The file is still ticked but expanded. With the default setting (Collapsed) every file opens folded, which hides the problem.

Change

pullRequestDiff.logic.ts gains isFileDiffFoldedByDefault: a viewed file opens folded by default until the toolbar folds or unfolds every file. A file pushed to since it was marked is no longer viewed, so it opens again. PullRequestCodeTab uses that default for each file.

The reader's own folds were kept as flips of the default. Now that the default moves when viewed state arrives or a push un-views a file, a flip would invert (a viewed file the reader opened by hand would snap shut after a push), so they are kept as the state the reader asked for, and a choice that agrees with the default is dropped so the file keeps following it. Ticking still folds and unticking unfolds. Expand all still expands viewed files.

Scope and approval

A small, focused fix of an obvious bug: the Viewed checkbox and the file's fold disagree after a reopen. It touches only the Code tab's fold state and its tests, with no contract, server, or settings change. The fold-choice change is part of the same fix, since the new default would otherwise invert existing manual folds.

Verification

  • vp test run apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestDiff.logic.test.ts: 9 passed, covering the viewed default, toolbar override, a manually opened viewed file surviving a push, and choice pruning.
  • vp test run apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestCodeTab.browser.test.tsx: 2 passed. The new test renders a file already marked viewed with diffs set to open expanded and expects it folded; it fails on main and passes with this change.
  • vp fmt --check clean; vp run typecheck for apps/web passed.
  • Manual check in vp run dev (Windows 11, dark appearance), Default diff file state set to Expanded; recording below.
  • Not checked: vp lint would not load the config locally (unknown field excludeFiles), so CI covers lint. Mobile and desktop were not checked; the change is in the shared web Code tab only.

After: with Default diff file state set to Expanded, tick Viewed on a file, reload, and open Code again. The viewed file stays folded. Without this change it opens expanded while still ticked.

A file marked viewed folded only in the moment its box was ticked. The
fold was kept as a flip of the default, which ignored viewed state, so
reopening the Code tab drew every viewed file expanded again whenever
diffs open expanded.

Viewed now folds a file by default until the toolbar folds or unfolds
everything. The reader's own folds are kept as the state they asked for
rather than as flips, because the default now moves when viewed state
arrives or a push un-views a file.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This focused fix changes the Code tab's effective default by folding files marked Viewed even when the user's configured default is Expanded. Because that is a product-default behavior change, it requires human review.

Walkthrough

Diff folding now uses a per-file default based on the collapsed setting, fold override, and viewed status. Explicit per-file choices are stored relative to that default. The Code tab applies these rules to file toggles, viewed-state changes, and reveal actions.

Changes: Per-file diff folding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-file fold defaults and choices
apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestDiff.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestDiff.logic.test.ts
Fold logic computes each file’s default state and stores explicit choices only when they differ from that default. Tests cover viewed-file defaults and per-file choices.
Code tab fold state integration
apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestCodeTab.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestCodeTab.browser.test.tsx
The Code tab applies per-file fold choices to file toggles, viewed-state changes, and reveal actions. A browser test checks viewed-file state when diffs otherwise open expanded.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 1e3bd

A file can remain folded after a push instead of reopening, though it can be expanded manually. This narrow regression remains for the owner to address or accept before merging.
