feat(clients): add back and forward navigation - #8727
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds shared back and forward navigation history to mobile and web applications. It integrates history with native headers, hardware keyboards, web controls, command-palette actions, keyboard shortcuts, router state, and persistence. It also improves animation-frame cleanup in a web test fixture. ChangesMobile navigation history

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Using the Home fallback can leave mobile navigation history in an incorrect state, so this should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a substantial back/forward navigation feature across web and mobile, including new history state, router integration, native controls, keyboard commands, and changed default keybindings. Its broad production impact and the unresolved medium-severity navigation concern warrant human review. Not approved because:

- Around line 49-53: Update the BACK/FORWARD handling in navigationHistoryStore
so blocked traversals resynchronize the stored navigation snapshot after
TanStack History’s compensating browser rollback notification, while preserving
normal movement behavior. Add a browser-history regression test that attempts a
blocked traversal and verifies both the browser location and navigation snapshot
remain unchanged.

Web, Electron and React Native mobile gain back/forward navigation through environment-aware thread history. The web controls retain their bounds after rejected navigation, suppress shortcut auto-repeat and pause shortcut callbacks while the command palette is open. The native header preserves main’s project-script controls.

The four overlapping files retain main’s existing-branch new-task flow, immediate thread opening, pending-creation recovery, and onboarding styling alongside the navigation provider and native-header controls.All 41 focused tests pass across the five changed test files: 17 React Native mobile keyboard/history tests, 13 web history/file-readiness tests, and 11 contract keybinding tests. React Native mobile, web, contracts, and shared typechecks pass. Scoped lint, formatting, and contribution diff checks pass; lint reports only existing React advisory warnings.
