Summary

Toggling the timestamp checkbox on an audio file now asks the preview viewer to draw range handles on the waveform. Dragging a handle turns the pending single timestamp into a range, and the comment is posted with the end-timestamp markup added in #4814.

Range selection is audio-only and rides the v2 audio player. Video takes exactly the path it takes today.

This is the composer half only. The checkbox still displays just the start time, and the posted badge still renders a single timestamp — both are follow-ups.

Viewer contract

Follows the existing comment_markers pattern: viewer.emit outbound, viewer.addListener inbound.

Direction Event Payload Meaning
Sidebar → viewer comment_range_draft { startMs, endMs: number | null } Show or update the handles. A null end draws them collapsed at the start.
Sidebar → viewer comment_range_draft_clear Hide the handles.
Viewer → sidebar comment_range_draft_change { startMs, endMs } A drag finished. Mouseup only, not during the drag.

The viewer side of this does not exist yet, which is the point of the degradation note below.

Structural decisions

The viewer owns the drag; we only tell it what it cannot know. There are exactly three of those moments, and each emits at the point that causes it rather than from an effect deriving emissions from state: the checkbox opening, the start tracking the playhead before any drag, and the range collapsing after a post. An effect-based version needs bookkeeping to distinguish a transition from a steady state — otherwise it clears handles on mount that were never drawn. Emitting at the moment removes the need for that entirely.

The start pins after the first drag. Until then it follows pause and seeked so scrubbing fine-tunes it, and the handles are told to catch up because they deliberately sit still during playback. After a drag the boundaries are the user's, and scrubbing away to re-listen leaves them alone.

A token refresh preserves a dragged range. MediaBaseViewer.restartPlayback reassigns src on the same media element when the media token expires, then restores the playhead — an event the user is not meant to perceive, and one that a long audio file being commented on will hit. The start is left alone too: a pinned range suppresses the restore-seek capture, so zeroing it would strand the start at 0 with the end still where the user put it.

A replaced media element drops the range. That means a different file or version, where the viewer is rebuilt and draws nothing. No draft is resynced to it.

After a successful post the range collapses rather than clearing. The checkbox stays checked, matching today's behavior, so the handles stay up and collapse to the start ready for the next comment.

Degrades cleanly. The viewer is the only source of an end value. Against a preview build that never emits comment_range_draft_change this stays exactly a single-timestamp composer, so this can land ahead of the viewer work.

Testing

yarn test src/elements/content-sidebar/activity-feed-v2 — 461 passing.

New coverage for the emit sequence on toggle, the drag round trip and the absence of an echo, pinning against pause and seek, range survival across a token refresh with zero viewer traffic, the range dropping on a media element swap, clearing on unmount, and the whole thing being inert on video and with the flag off. Malformed, negative, and non-advancing payloads from the viewer are covered too.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for selecting start and end timestamps when composing comments on audio in the updated audio player.
    • Audio comment ranges update as waveform handles are adjusted and are included when comments are posted.
    • Added controls to clear or reset an in-progress audio range selection.
  • Bug Fixes

    • After posting a timestamped audio comment, the composer now resets to a single timestamp.
    • Video timestamp behavior remains unchanged and does not use audio range selection.

Walkthrough

Audio player V2 now supports timestamp range drafts. useMediaTimestamp validates viewer ranges, preserves range state across media events, and exposes reset behavior. ActivityFeedV2 uses range data for comment markup and clears the range after successful posting.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 517c6

Media or viewer replacement can hide range handles, retain stale range state, or attach a timestamp from the previous file to a new comment. These lifecycle issues should be fixed before merge.

Synchronize the viewer when replacing the media element.

This code clears the range only in local hook state. It does not send EVENT_RANGE_DRAFT_CLEAR or a new collapsed EVENT_RANGE_DRAFT, so the viewer can keep rendering the previous media's handles after the new element is attached.

Emit the appropriate reset event for the new media element. Add a test that replaces the media element while a range is selected.

Do not emit a range draft for an unpressed composer.

ActivityFeedV2 calls resetRange() after every successful post. When the timestamp toggle is not pressed, this line still emits comment_range_draft. The audio viewer can then show range handles for a normal comment.

Guard the emission with isPressedRef.current. Continue clearing the local range state when the composer is unpressed.

Clear range-only state when isRangeEnabled becomes false.

This reset runs only when enabled changes. If isAudioPlayerV2 changes from true to false while enabled remains true, isRangePinnedRef and timestampEndMs retain the previous audio range. ActivityFeedV2 does not gate timestampEndMs on isAudioPlayerV2, so the next video comment can include stale audio range data. The pinned ref can also prevent normal video pause and seek updates.

Add a separate reset effect keyed to isRangeEnabled. Do not reset timestampMs or isPressed, because video single-timestamp behavior must remain unchanged.

Proposed fix
+    React.useEffect(() => {
+        if (!isRangeEnabled) {
+            isRangePinnedRef.current = false;
+            setTimestampEndMs(undefined);

Reset the complete timestamp draft when the media element changes.

This branch clears only timestampEndMs and isRangePinnedRef. It leaves timestampMs and isLoadingRef associated with the old media element, and it sends no new draft to the viewer. If the replacement element has already emitted its load events, the pressed composer can submit the old start time for the new media. Reset the media-bound state and send a fresh collapsed draft or clear event for the replacement element.

Resubscribe when the resolved viewer changes.

ContentPreview.getViewer can return null during loading or a new Preview.getCurrentViewer() after replacement. This effect captures the result once and depends only on the stable getter and isRangeEnabled, while emitDraft resolves the viewer on each emit. The new viewer can receive comment_range_draft without a comment_range_draft_change listener, so dragging may not update timestampEndMs. Track viewer readiness or identity and test both transitions.

Reset timestamp state when replacing the media element.

When tryAttach detects a new element, it clears only the range end and pin. It leaves isPressedRef and timestampMs unchanged. If the new element already emitted loadstart, handleLoadStart does not reset the value, and handleCommentPost can serialize the previous media's timestampMs with the new fileVersionId. Reset the timestamp and synchronize the viewer draft at this boundary: emit a collapsed draft at 0 if the pressed state remains active, or clear the pressed state and draft together.

LGTM, one nit

Comment thread src/elements/content-sidebar/activity-feed-v2/useMediaTimestamp.ts
kduncanhsu and others added 8 commits September 4, 2026 16:07
Toggling the timestamp checkbox on audio now asks the preview viewer to
draw range handles on the waveform. Dragging a handle turns the pending
single timestamp into a range, which is posted using the existing end
timestamp markup.

The viewer owns the drag interaction and reports the result on mouseup,
so the sidebar only emits at the moments the viewer cannot observe for
itself: the checkbox opening and closing, the start tracking the
playhead before any drag, and the range collapsing after a post.

Range selection is audio-only and rides the v2 audio player. Video takes
exactly the path it takes today, and an older preview build that never
reports a drag leaves this a single-timestamp composer.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
The drag listener was attached once, in an effect keyed on values that
settle before preview finishes loading. Preview's viewer handle is null
until the media loads, which for audio is normally later than the
sidebar's own fetches, so the listener was usually never attached at
all: handles would appear, dragging them would report back to nobody,
and the comment would post as a point comment.

Attaching once also stranded the listener on the destroyed viewer when
preview built a replacement for a file-version switch.

Poll for the current viewer instead and follow it across replacements.
Preview exposes no readiness event to the sidebar, and this hook already
watches the DOM for the media element for the same reason.
