{ "id": "KB-242", "title": "File editor: scrollable content area + worktree selector dropdown", "description": "Two improvements to the FileBrowserModal and FileEditor components in the dashboard:\n\n## 1. Scrollable file editor content area\n\nCurrently the `.file-editor-wrapper` has `overflow: hidden` which clips content. Both the code textarea and the markdown preview need to scroll independently when content overflows.\n\n**Root cause:** The `.file-editor-wrapper` sets `overflow: hidden`, and the `.file-editor-textarea` has no explicit overflow property. The wrapper needs to allow its children to scroll, or the textarea/preview need proper overflow-y scrolling within the flex layout.\n\n**Fix:**\n- Set `overflow: auto` (or `overflow-y: auto`) on `.file-editor-wrapper` or ensure both `.file-editor-textarea` and `.file-editor-preview` have `overflow-y: auto` with proper `min-height: 0` on flex parents\n- Verify the flex chain from `.file-browser-content` → `.file-editor-wrapper` → `.file-editor-container` → textarea/preview all properly constrain height and allow scrolling\n\n## 2. Worktree selector dropdown in modal header\n\nAdd a dropdown in the FileBrowserModal header that lists all git worktrees (via the existing `fetchGitWorktrees()` API). Selecting a worktree switches the file browser to browse that worktree's directory.\n\n**Behavior:**\n- Always visible in both task mode and project mode\n- In task mode: pre-selects the task's associated worktree\n- In project mode: pre-selects the main worktree\n- User can switch to any worktree at any time\n- Dropdown shows worktree branch name and associated task ID (if any), e.g. `main`, `kb/KB-042 (KB-042)`\n- Switching worktrees resets the file browser path to root and clears the selected file\n- If there are unsaved changes when switching, show a confirmation dialog asking to discard or save first\n\n**Key files:**\n- `packages/dashboard/app/components/FileBrowserModal.tsx` — add dropdown, fetch worktrees, handle switching logic + confirmation dialog\n- `packages/dashboard/app/components/FileEditor.tsx` — no changes needed (scrolling fix is CSS)\n- `packages/dashboard/app/styles.css` — fix overflow on `.file-editor-wrapper` / `.file-editor-textarea`, style the worktree dropdown\n- `packages/dashboard/app/api.ts` — `fetchGitWorktrees()` already exists\n- `packages/dashboard/app/components/FileEditor.test.tsx` — add/update tests for scrollable behavior\n- New or updated tests for worktree switching and unsaved-changes confirmation", "column": "done", "dependencies": [], "steps": [ { "name": "Fix File Editor Scrolling", "status": "done" }, { "name": "Add Worktree Selector Dropdown to FileBrowserModal", "status": "done" }, { "name": "Implement Worktree Switching Logic", "status": "done" }, { "name": "Styling for Worktree Dropdown", "status": "done" }, { "name": "Testing & Verification", "status": "done" }, { "name": "Documentation & Delivery", "status": "done" } ], "currentStep": 6, "log": [ { "timestamp": "2026-03-31T02:17:09.889Z", "action": "Task created" }, { "timestamp": "2026-03-31T02:17:09.890Z", "action": "Created via Planning Mode", "outcome": "Initial plan: the file editor should have the file area be scrollable, also the file editor shoudl let you select a worktree to view" }, { "timestamp": "2026-03-31T02:17:53.453Z", "action": "Spec review requested" }, { "timestamp": "2026-03-31T02:18:13.400Z", "action": "Spec review: APPROVE", "outcome": "The specification is well-structured with a clear mission, concrete step outcomes, and appropriate file scope.
