Summary

  • Pulse isSelected on comment markers when the active feed entry changes (click / deep link) so Preview can highlight and seek.
  • Keep the viewer listener attached and emit the marker payload in place. Clearing with [] on every feed refresh made Preview forget the host id and treat a still-selected marker as a new seek (post, reply, avatar hydration).
  • Drop isSelected after add, edit, or delete. Attach once getViewer() or the waveform shell (getPreview().getCurrentViewer()) is available; emit [] only on unmount.

Test plan

  • Open an mp3 with audio player v2 and timestamped comments. Click a comment (or its marker): playhead seeks there and the badge is selected.
  • Scrub away, then post another timestamped comment. Playhead stays put.
  • Scrub away, then reply to a comment (or wait for avatars to load). Playhead stays put.
  • Edit or delete a timestamped comment. Marker list updates and isSelected is not re-sent for the old active entry.
  • Deep-link to a timestamped comment. Marker is selected when that item appears in the feed.
  • Markers render on the waveform shell before the file is playable.
  • Video: markers still emit; player does not seek on comment_markers.
  • Leave Activity: viewer receives comment_markers [].

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Comment markers are now supported in preview mode, including before a file becomes playable.
    • Markers update automatically as viewers become available, comments change, or file versions switch.
    • Audio comments now support timestamp ranges, with ranges reset after successful posting.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved comment selection across feed refreshes, replies, edits, deletions, and deep-linked comments.
    • Prevented unnecessary re-selection when comment content refreshes without changing the active comment.
    • Improved marker reliability when viewers are initially unavailable or become unavailable later.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Changes

Activity marker preview integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Viewer contract and sidebar wiring
src/elements/content-sidebar/activity-feed-v2/types.ts, src/elements/content-sidebar/ActivitySidebar.js, src/elements/content-sidebar/SidebarPanels.js
The sidebar accepts and forwards getPreview. PreviewHandle resolves a ViewerHandle, which can report destruction.
Viewer attachment and marker emission
src/elements/content-sidebar/activity-feed-v2/ActivityFeedV2.tsx, src/elements/content-sidebar/activity-feed-v2/__tests__/ActivityFeedV2.test.tsx
ActivityFeedV2 polls getViewer or the preview viewer, builds marker payloads, attaches listeners, re-emits markers after feed changes, and cleans up destroyed viewers.
Selection state and feed refresh validation
src/elements/content-sidebar/activity-feed-v2/useCommentMarkerSelectedId.ts, src/elements/content-sidebar/activity-feed-v2/__tests__/useCommentMarkerSelectedId.test.tsx, src/elements/content-sidebar/activity-feed-v2/__tests__/ActivityFeedV2.test.tsx
The selection hook preserves or clears selection based on active entries and feed content changes. Tests cover refreshes, replies, additions, edits, deletions, deep links, and file version changes.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3038a

Comment markers may stop appearing or responding after a file-version transition when the direct viewer accessor briefly exposes a destroyed viewer. The issue is bounded to marker preview behavior but should be corrected before merge.

Poem

A rabbit wired the preview stream,
Markers hopped through every beam.
Comments changed, selections stayed,
Until edits made them fade.
The viewer woke and listened bright,
While carrots marked the waveform right.

- Around line 460-462: Move the assignments to filteredItemsRef,
markerSelectedIdRef, and onCommentSelectRef out of the render path and into a
ref-sync useEffect. Declare this effect before the marker attachment effect so
marker handling and the comment_marker_select handler read committed values
only.

In `@src/elements/content-sidebar/activity-feed-v2/useCommentMarkerSelectedId.ts`:
- Around line 41-48: Update useCommentMarkerSelectedId so ref mutations and
selection bookkeeping do not occur during render; derive the returned selection
from the last committed snapshot, then update that snapshot in a layout effect
or equivalent post-commit mechanism while preserving the existing alreadyEmitted
behavior.

485-487: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject destroyed viewers from getViewer.

If getViewer() temporarily returns a destroyed viewer during a version transition, this branch attaches it and stops polling. When the accessor later returns the replacement viewer, the effect does not re-run, so comment markers and selection events remain attached to the destroyed instance.

Match the destruction check used for the preview viewer.

Proposed fix
 const loaded = getViewer?.() ?? null;
-if (loaded) {
+if (loaded && !loaded.isDestroyed?.()) {
     return loaded;
 }
