- Around line 237-290: Move file loading and rendering out of
fileViewRenderCache.getOrRender and the View() path into a cancellable tea.Cmd
that performs stat, readFileViewBounded, highlightCodeForPath, and
formatFileViewLines, returning a result message. Render a loading placeholder
while the result is pending, store successful results in the model/cache, and
discard messages whose path no longer matches m.fileView.path so closed or
changed views cannot apply stale work.
- Around line 228-233: Update readFileViewBounded and its caller to preserve
whether truncation came from omitted lines versus per-line clipping, then render
a trailer that says more lines only when lines were omitted and uses
clipped-line wording otherwise; keep the existing caps and bounded-read
behavior. Revise the Lines-related constant comment to describe the trailer
actually emitted, without promising an exact remaining-line count.
- Around line 120-181: Update the file-reading loop around ReadLine so
totalBytes counts every consumed chunk, including bytes discarded after
maxLineBytes, and stop reading once maxTotalBytes is exhausted while preserving
truncation behavior. Ensure the budget cannot be bypassed by a single physical
line, and add a regression test covering a line larger than fileViewMaxBytes.
- Around line 256-267: Bound each file entry’s renders map to a fixed maximum
number of cached variants, evicting older renderings when new width or
changed-lines keys exceed the limit. Update the caching logic around
formatFileViewLines and add a test that exercises many distinct widths and
verifies the per-entry renders map remains bounded.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Merge readiness
- [P1] Rebase onto current
mainand obtain the required approved issue
AGENTS.md:12,CONTRIBUTING.md:26,internal/tui/model.go
This first-time community contribution links issue #833, but that issue has noissue-approvedlabel. The branch also still merges fromad34dc8d, while livemainis6fe0d1edand includes substantial intervening work, including TUI changes. The repository policy makes both an approved parent issue and a fresh base prerequisites; please obtain approval, then rebase and revalidate the resolved diff.

[P1] Enforce the byte budget while consuming an oversized physical line
internal/tui/file_view.go:124
fileViewMaxBytesis documented as a 1 MiB total read budget, but it is only checked by the outer loop after the innerReadLineloop finishes a physical line. OncelineBufreaches the 4 KiB display cap,ReadLinekeeps returning and discarding chunks whileisPrefixis true; those bytes are neither charged tototalBytesnor able to stop the loop. A generated file with one multi-gigabyte newline-terminated line therefore causes the full line to be read on the UI path before the result is marked truncated. Files with ordinary lines can also retain one final line beyond the nominal limit because the remaining per-file budget is not applied while appending a line.Address the root cause by making the input reader itself enforce the remaining total source-byte allowance, rather than accounting only for bytes retained in
lineBufafter a full line is consumed. Stop immediately when the limit is exhausted, mark the result as truncated, and retain only the portion that fits both the per-line and remaining total budgets. Add a regression test with one physical line larger thanfileViewMaxBytes; it should demonstrate that the reader stops at the budget rather than reading through to the newline. -
[P1] Bound rendered variants inside each file-cache entry
internal/tui/file_view.go:61
The 64-entry LRU limits the number of file entries, but it does not limit the payload stored by an entry. Each cache hit whose width orchangedLinesFingerprintdiffers adds another complete ANSI rendering tofileViewCachedEntry.renders. Existing variants are never removed until the entire file entry happens to be evicted or a theme change clears the whole cache. A user can keep one large file resident while resizing repeatedly or while session edits change the marker fingerprint, retaining an unbounded number of near-full-size strings under a single LRU entry. That defeats the PR’s hard memory-limit claim even though the entry count remains 64.Address the root cause by giving render variants their own bounded lifecycle: retain a small fixed number with a defined eviction policy, or invalidate/recompute variants when width or marker state changes. The bound must apply per file entry, not only to the outer file LRU, and it should preserve correct output for the active width and marker set. Add a test that drives more distinct width/fingerprint states than the limit and proves that the map and retained render payload cannot grow without bound.

220-225: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winTruncation is silently lost when the byte budget ends on an unfinished line.
The
goto finishedat Line 224 skips theif lineTruncated { truncated = true }propagation at Line 232, and it also ignoresisPrefix. The error branch at Line 204 propagateslineTruncated; this exit does not.Concrete failure case: one physical line of exactly
maxTotalByteswith no trailing newline.
ReadLinereturns 4096-byte chunks withisPrefix=trueanderr=nil.lineBufclips atmaxLineBytes, solineTruncated=true.- On the final chunk
totalSourceBytes == maxTotalBytes, so Line 220 appends the clipped 4 KiB prefix and jumps tofinished.- At
finished,truncatedis still false.Buffered()is 0,Peek(1)hits EOF because theLimitReaderhas 1 byte of headroom the file cannot supply, and the directfile.Readprobe returns 0 because the file offset is already at EOF.The view then renders 4 KiB of a 1 MiB line with no truncation trailer.
TestReadFileViewBounded_GiantSingleLineStopsAtBudgetpasses only because its 5 MiB file leaves a spare byte for the probe.🐛 Proposed fix: propagate clipping at the byte-budget exit
if totalSourceBytes >= maxTotalBytes { + if lineTruncated || isPrefix { + truncated = true + } if len(lineBuf) > 0 { lines = append(lines, string(lineBuf)) } goto finished }Add a regression case: a single line of exactly
maxTotalBytesbytes without a trailing newline, assertingtruncated == true.As per coding guidelines: "Every behavior or security-boundary change needs a regression test, including the failure path."

33-38: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoffConsider a total-byte budget for the cache, not only entry and variant counts.
Each cached entry retains
lines(up to 1 MiB),display(ANSI-highlighted, typically several times larger), plus up to 4 full ANSI render variants. With 64 entries, worst-case resident memory reaches hundreds of MiB after a long session over many large files.

[P1] Move cache-miss loading off the View path
internal/tui/file_view.go:489,internal/tui/file_view.go:550,internal/tui/file_view.go:325
The root cause is that the new cache is used as a synchronous loader inside the render call chain, rather than as state produced beforeView.fileViewBodyItemscallsrenderFileViewFullwhile constructing the View. That callsgetOrRender, which doesos.Staton every call and, on a cache miss, synchronously runsreadFileViewBounded,highlightCodeForPath`, and formatting before it returns. The bounds prevent unrestricted memory use, but they do not prevent the initial render from blocking on disk I/O or Chroma work. Opening an uncached file, or visiting a file after theme clear invalidates the cache, can stall the Bubble Tea render loop; switching files or exiting cannot cancel that work.Please address the root cause, not only the cache's caps:
- Keep
View/fileViewBodyItemsreading-only: render an already-available result or a loading placeholder, but do not stat, read, highlight, or format there. - On entering full-file mode (or after an invalidation), start the bounded read/highlight/format work from a command or worker and return a result message to the update loop. Preserve the current 1 MiB, 4,000-line, 4 KiB-line, and cache-variant bounds.
- Apply a completed result only if its request identity still matches the active file mode and the current invalidation/generation. Discard results for switched, closed, or superseded views so old work cannot paint the wrong file.
- Add a load-bearing regression test that exercises a cache miss through the actual View/Update boundary, asserts the loading state is rendered first, and verifies that only the matching active view accepts the completion. Run the affected current path under
-race.
The review churn here comes from treating the repeated-View cache-hit behavior as equivalent to the change requested by #833. It is not: the cache hit is fast, but the miss/invalidation path still performs the expensive work in
View. Tracing the full cache-miss lifecycle (enter > load > cancel/supersede > apply result > render) and demonstrating its failure cases in tests will align the implementation with the accepted scope and avoid further iterations. - Keep
… loop Address finding [P1] by moving synchronous file reading, os.Stat, Chroma syntax highlighting, and formatting out of renderFileViewFull/View() into an asynchronous tea.Cmd (loadFileViewCmd / loadAndRender). View() now returns immediately with in-memory content or a lightweight Loading… placeholder. The async result is safely applied in Update() only if matching the active file path, monotonic request ID, and cache generation (invalidated on theme switch).

Full view no longer notices on-disk changes while it stays open.
getRenderOnly keys only on targetPath and performs no os.Stat. The previous getOrRender path stat'd the file on every render, so an edit made by a tool run repainted the view. Now a reload happens only on open, on a mode switch, and on resize. While the view stays open in full mode, an agent edit to the same file keeps rendering the old content.
Trigger startFileViewLoadCmd when a message updates the touched-file set (for example the git-sweep and tool-result handlers) so the open view refreshes.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready. The individual failures below are related: the PR moves work into an asynchronous cache, but responsibility for the current file snapshot is split among the global cache, fileViewState, and several unrelated event handlers. That leaves no single place that defines which snapshot is desired, whether work for it is already running, which events invalidate it, and whether a completion still belongs to the current view lifetime.
Overall guidance
Please address this as one file-view loading lifecycle rather than another series of event-specific patches. A coherent implementation should have one desired snapshot identity covering the inputs that affect visible output—at minimum the file/view lifetime, path, theme generation, width, and changed-line revision—and one scheduler responsible for producing it. Open, resize, marker changes, theme changes, direct file mutations, git sweeps, failures, exit, and reopen should all flow through that lifecycle.
The important invariants are:
View()only consumes an exact prepared snapshot, loading state, or error state. It should not fill cache variants or construct large marker keys.- At most a bounded amount of work is active for a file/view. Equivalent requests share work, and superseded work is cancelled or otherwise prevented from accumulating.
- Every event that invalidates visible content schedules the current desired snapshot through the same path.
- A completion applies only to the view lifetime and snapshot identity that requested it.
- Failure becomes current visible state; an old successful cache entry cannot silently override it.
The existing tests verify many helpers directly, but several manually call startFileViewLoadCmd, which bypasses the missing production transitions. Please add event-level tests that drive the real model update path for these complete sequences: open → load, repeated resize before completion, loaded view → theme switch, direct edit result → refresh, successful load → deletion/read failure, and exit → same-path reopen with the first request completing late. That should close the gaps together and reduce the chance of another review round revealing the next adjacent state transition.
Merge readiness
- [P2] Remove repository-wide process policy from this performance fix
AGENTS.md:50
The PR changes validation and review rules for every future contribution, including an unfiltered repository-wide race command and new project-wide blocker language. Those changes neither implement the file-view lifecycle nor follow from #833, and there is no linked maintainer decision authorizing them. The new wording also conflicts with this PR's own recovery test by prohibiting an intermediate empty-state assertion that the test legitimately makes before checking recovery. Please revert these policy edits here and propose them separately if they are still desired.
Findings
-
[P2] Prepare render variants before
View()consumes them
internal/tui/file_view.go:357
renderFileViewFullcallsgetRenderOnly, but that function is not actually lookup-only: when a cached file lacks the requested width/changed-lines variant, it callsformatFileViewLinessynchronously and fits up to 4,000 highlighted lines on the render goroutine. The render path also rebuildsfileViewChangedLines, sorts its strings, joins the full fingerprint, and retains that fingerprint in render keys. A resize therefore still has a synchronous frame-cost spike even though an asynchronous resize load is also scheduled. Move variant and marker-key preparation into the update/load lifecycle and letView()perform an exact bounded lookup. Keep the existing byte, line, line-length, and variant-count caps; the missing piece is ownership of variant construction, not removal of those safeguards. -
[P2] Coalesce or cancel superseded file loads
internal/tui/file_view.go:523
startFileViewLoadCmdsetsloading, but never consults it before launching another command. Each resize or git sweep can therefore start another independent stat, read, highlight, and format operation while the prior one is still running. Request IDs prevent an old result from painting after it returns, but they do not stop the work itself; a probe with eight simultaneous cold misses produced eight disk reads and eight highlight passes. Reads also have no cancellation boundary, so a slow filesystem or blocking file source can leave old workers alive while new requests accumulate. Route requests through a bounded keyed scheduler: equivalent requests should share work, and a superseded view/snapshot should cancel or retire its worker rather than merely discard the eventual message. Preserve asynchronous loading and stale-result checks. -
[P2] Couple theme invalidation to replacement snapshot scheduling
internal/tui/theme_select.go:95
applyThemeclears the file cache and advances its generation, but/theme, picker selection, and terminal background-color transitions do not start a replacement load for an already-loaded full view. With no request in flight, the oldloadedGenis rejected and the view remains atLoading…until an unrelated resize, sweep, or mode toggle happens. The added theme test manually callsstartFileViewLoadCmd, so it proves the helper can recover without proving that production initiates recovery. Make theme invalidation update the desired snapshot and schedule it through the shared lifecycle from every live theme entry point; keep the immutable theme snapshot and generation checks. -
[P2] Invalidate the active snapshot on direct file-tool mutations
internal/tui/model.go:2925
Successfulwrite_file,edit_file, andapply_patchresult rows update transcript data and changed-line markers, but they do not refresh an active full-file snapshot. Mid-turn git sweep is currently reserved for command-tool rows, and an end-of-turn sweep may be delayed or ineffective in a non-git workspace. BecauseView()now trusts cached bytes without statting the file, the user can continue seeing pre-edit contents after the model has already reported a successful edit. Feed known changed-file results into the same invalidation/scheduling path when they affect the active file. Keep git sweep as the fallback for opaque shell/subagent mutations that cannot report their paths directly. -
[P2] Make a failed refresh replace stale successful cache state
internal/tui/file_view.go:366
When a previously cached file is deleted or becomes unreadable,loadAndRenderreturns an error rendering without removing or superseding the old cache item.handleFileViewLoadedaccepts the error result, butrenderFileViewFullchecks the cache first and returns the obsolete successful content instead. A load → delete → reload probe reproduced ENOENT while the old source remained visible. Treat success, loading, and failure as states of the same current snapshot identity: after a failed refresh, invalidate or bypass the former item and display the failure (or explicitly mark the old content stale). Do not return to synchronous filesystem checks inView(). -
[P2] Keep completion identity unique across exit and reopen
internal/tui/file_view.go:567
requestIDis described as monotonic, but it lives insidefileViewState, andexitFileViewresets that entire state to zero. If the user exits while request 1 is running and reopens the same path, the new request is also assigned ID 1; the old completion then passes the active/mode/path/request/generation checks and can populate the new view lifetime. Preserve request identity outside the resettable view state or add a distinct monotonic view-lifetime token, and include it in both the request and completion acceptance check. Path and cache generation alone are insufficient because both can legitimately match across a same-path reopen.
These findings are P2 rather than P1 because the current product entry point is absent and several failure sequences require a specific lifecycle event. They still need resolution before merging the cache implementation: once a supported entry point is connected, they become user-visible stalls, stale content, hidden errors, and completion races in the exact feature this PR is preparing.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Overall guidance
The repeated findings on this PR all come from the same underlying issue: file-view loading was changed from one synchronous render-time operation into an asynchronous, cached state machine, but the implementation still treats individual event handlers as independent fixes instead of having one authoritative definition of the snapshot the view is trying to show.
A full-file render is now affected by more than the path: it depends on the active view lifetime, cache/theme generation, on-disk file revision, viewport width, and the changed-line revision used to produce gutter markers. Opening a file, entering full mode, resizing, a tool result, a git sweep, a background-color/theme change, deletion, exit, and reopen can all alter one or more of those inputs while background work is still pending. The global cache contains reusable prepared variants, while fileViewState holds the currently displayed result, but no single current-request identity connects the scheduler, completion handler, and fallback rendering path. That split is why individually reasonable patches—generation checks, a lifetime token, cache limits, reloads from selected event handlers, and a loading placeholder—still leave stale results able to become visible.
Please address this as one coherent file-view snapshot lifecycle rather than another set of event-specific completion guards. Define the desired snapshot when scheduling work, retain that identity in fileViewState, and make every invalidating event flow through the same scheduler. A completion should be authoritative only if it exactly matches the currently desired snapshot; otherwise it is superseded and must not alter content, markers, loading state, or error state. View() should consume only an exact prepared snapshot, loading state, or current error state. It should not use a prior-width or prior-revision string as a fallback merely because an exact cache variant was evicted.
The regression coverage should follow real model transitions, not only call cache helpers or manually invoke a selected command. In particular, drive the actual Update path for: open → load; repeated resize before completion; tool mutation or git sweep while a load is pending; theme invalidation during a load; deletion after a successful load; exit/reopen; and reverse-order completions for requests belonging to one still-active view. Each test should show that only the newest desired snapshot becomes visible. This both covers the current defect and prevents the same lifecycle gap from reappearing as another event-specific finding.
This is not a request to abandon the asynchronous design or broaden the PR into unrelated cleanup. Preserve the non-blocking View() path, the 1 MiB/4,000-line/4 KiB source limits, bounded cache variants, theme-safe background formatting, and the current lifetime/generation protections. The needed change is to make those pieces enforce one shared current-snapshot contract.

[P2] Keep only the current file-view load result

The new asynchronous lifecycle can have more than one load in flight for the same open full-file view.startFileViewLoadCmdis called again for every resize, matching tool result, and git sweep, but its messages carry only the stable view lifetime, path, cache generation, width, and marker fingerprint.handleFileViewLoadedrejects a different view or theme generation, but accepts every same-lifetime completion without verifying that its width and changed-line fingerprint still describe the current requested snapshot.This permits a concrete reverse-order failure: a tool update or resize starts request A; a later update starts request B and B completes first, so the current file content/markers or width are rendered correctly; then A completes and overwrites
renderedContent,loadedWidth, andloadedFingerprint.renderFileViewFullfirst looks up an exact cache variant, but when it is absent it returns that overwrittenrenderedContent. Exact variants are intentionally limited to four per file, so repeated resize or marker variants make the fallback path routine rather than exceptional. The visible full-file view can therefore revert to stale disk text, an obsolete width fitting, or old changed-line markers until another reload happens.Please address the root cause as described above: record a monotonically advancing desired snapshot/request identity whenever a full-file load is scheduled, apply only a matching completion, and render only an exact prepared snapshot or loading/current-error state. Add event-level reverse-completion coverage for both a file mutation/marker change and a resize, so a later requested snapshot is proven to remain visible.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
This test cannot detect a reverted snapshot.
loadFileViewCmd reads the file when the command runs, not when it is created. cmdA runs at Line 1444, after Line 1419 already wrote version 2 state. So msgA.rendered contains version 2 state, and the assertion at Line 1450 passes even if handleFileViewLoaded accepted the stale completion. Delete the seq guard and this test still passes.
Execute cmdA while the file still holds v1, then apply mutation B.
💚 Proposed fix: capture A's payload before mutation B
updated, cmdA := m.Update(agentRowMsg{runID: m.activeRunID, row: rowA})
m = updated.(model)
if cmdA == nil {
t.Fatal("expected cmdA for mutation A")
}
+ // Run A's load now so its payload captures the v1 bytes; deliver it later.
+ msgA := cmdA()
+ if loaded, ok := msgA.(fileViewLoadedMsg); !ok || !strings.Contains(loaded.rendered, "version 1 state") {
+ t.Fatalf("cmdA must capture version 1 state, got: %#v", msgA)
+ }
// Mutation B immediately modifies file to v2 before A completes // A arrives late (reverse-order)
- msgA := cmdA()
updated, _ = m.Update(msgA)Also advance the file mtime (or vary the size) between writes so the cache fingerprint changes; initial\n and version 1 state\n differ in size here, but v1 and v2 do not.
As per coding guidelines: "Every behavior or security-boundary change needs a regression test, including the failure path."

Do not use renderedContent != "" as the completion sentinel. readFileViewBounded returns no lines for a zero-byte file, so formatFileViewLines returns "". After completion, renderFileViewFull skips the loaded snapshot because renderedContent is empty. The cache masks this only until its entry is evicted; afterward, the view shows Loading… without scheduling another load. Track completion separately and include that state in the snapshot check.

I found an issue that needs to be addressed before this is ready.
Overall guidance
The repeated review churn on this PR has come from the same underlying risk: it changes full-file rendering from a straightforward synchronous scan into a bounded asynchronous/cache-backed pipeline, so its safety guarantees now depend on keeping three layers consistent: (1) the bytes physically consumed from disk, (2) the bounded representation retained for display, and (3) the status/trailer shown to the user. Each boundary exit—EOF, a line cap, a line-length cap, the total-byte limit, and the one-byte look-ahead used to distinguish exact-budget EOF from omitted data—must make the same decision about whether content was omitted.
Please treat the byte reader as the single source of truth for this contract. Define precisely whether fileViewMaxBytes limits bytes read, bytes retained, or both; charge every byte consumed by the reader, including line delimiters removed by bufio.Reader.ReadLine; and derive truncated/omittedLines from that source-of-truth state rather than from retained chunks or an ambiguous EOF probe. Then add table-driven boundary tests covering empty lines, LF and CRLF, exact-budget files, one byte over budget, an unterminated last line, overlong physical lines, and the interaction with the line-count cap. These tests should assert both retained lines and the visible trailer, and should fail against the unfixed accounting path.
This is deliberately not asking for another cache or lifecycle redesign. The current async cache approach, bounded render variants, and completion-isolation mechanism are not findings in this draft. The remaining work is to make the newly advertised bounded-read behavior internally consistent and load-bearing at its edge conditions.

[P3] Make the byte-limit state account for line terminators and drive the truncation trailer
internal/tui/file_view.go:228-249,internal/tui/file_view.go:308-323
The new reader presentsfileViewMaxBytesas a total source-byte budget, but its state machine counts onlylen(chunk)afterbufio.Reader.ReadLinehas removed the physical line ending. The laterPeek/direct-file probe can consume the permitted detection byte without settingtruncatedwhen that byte is another newline. For example, with a one-byte test budget and input"\\n\\n", the function returns two displayed empty lines withtruncated == false, even though the second physical byte is beyond the budget. Theio.LimitReaderstill prevents unbounded reads—this is a correctness issue in the newly introduced bound and status, not an unbounded-I/O regression.Fix the reader state rather than patching this one example: account for delimiters at the read boundary (including CRLF), make the exact-budget/probe outcome explicit, and use that authoritative consumed/omitted state to decide both truncation fields and the trailer. Keep the existing 1 MiB memory/read bound, 4 KiB display-line cap, 4,000-line cap, and intentional exact-budget-with-EOF behavior. Add focused boundary tests that prove the correction rather than only covering a larger input.
