## Summary
Inline code on mobile renders as **bold body text on a faint background
wash** — no monospace face, no chip, and it cannot wrap. #5257 diagnosed
this as a missing `highlightBuilder`.
That is no longer the right fix. `gpt_markdown` 1.2.0 deprecates
`highlightBuilder` (removal in 2.0.0), renders inline code as a real
chip, and adds `InlineCodeStyle` for restyling it. The package author
confirmed this on the issue. So this PR is an upgrade — 1.1.6 → 1.2.1 —
plus one theme declaration, rather than the builder the issue originally
asked for.
**Where the style is declared.** `GptMarkdownThemeData` goes in
`AppTheme._buildTheme`, which both `light()` and `dark()` call. That
reaches all four `GptMarkdown` call sites — `message_content`,
`transcript_item_widget`, `token_pill`, `custom_emoji_render` — so the
style is stated once instead of per widget. A widget-level
`inlineCodeStyle` would have covered channel messages only, leaving the
other three on the package's defaults.
**What is declared.** Face, size, ink, chip fill and outline — not the
face alone. A face name on its own leaves the rest on the package's
defaults, which put inline code at 14.1sp beside a fenced block's 13, on
a neutral `onSurface` tint rather than the app's code surface. In dark
that tint is *lighter* than the surface, while every other code surface
in the app is recessed, so the chip read as a different kind of object.
All of it now comes from one `CodeStyle` declaration that the fenced
block reads from too, so the two cannot be edited apart.
**Three adaptations the upgrade requires.** Each was found by running
the gate, not by reading the changelog:
1. **`imageBuilder` widened** to `(context, url, width, height)`. This
is a hard compile error, and it is **not listed in the package's
migration guide**, which states "nothing here stops code compiling".
Worth reporting upstream.
2. **`autolink` now defaults to `true`.** `normalizeBareLinks()` already
rewrites bare URLs into Markdown links before rendering, so both would
run. `message_content` opts out with `autolink: false` to keep current
behaviour exactly. The migration guide argues for dropping the
pre-processor instead — a better fix, but a behavioural change that
belongs in its own PR.
3. **`gpt_markdown.dart` now re-exports `markdown_config.dart`**, making
two direct imports redundant. `flutter analyze` reports `No issues
found!` on 1.1.6 and flags both on 1.2.1, so these warnings are new, not
pre-existing.
**Deliberately out of scope.** The three non-message call sites now
autolink bare URLs, since only `message_content` has a pre-processor to
collide with. Custom inline components (`_MentionMd`, `CustomEmojiMd`,
`_ChannelLinkMd`) could additionally declare `allScopesExceptLinkLabel`
— 1.2.0 offers it as the fix for a `WidgetSpan` chip going blank inside
a link label on iOS — but current behaviour is unchanged without it, so
that stays a separate change.
### Related issue
Fixes#5257
Duplicate scan: searched `gpt_markdown`, `inline code mobile`,
`highlightBuilder` and `InlineCodeStyle` across both PRs and issues. No
open PR touches inline code styling. #6135 (link labels) and #6166 (text
selection) also touch mobile Markdown but address different defects.
### Testing
Full gate, `just ci` — exit 0:
| Stage | Result |
|---|---|
| Rust (33 suites) | 4768 passed, 0 failed |
| Desktop | 5799 passed, 0 failed |
| Mobile | **2011 passed**, 0 failed |
| `flutter analyze` | `No issues found!` |
| Desktop + web build | ok |
Run on the branch with `main` merged in, so these numbers match what CI
builds.
**New regression test** — `renders inline code in the app code style`.
It resolves the `CodeTextSpan` the package tags inline code with, which
carries both the resolved `TextStyle` and the colours the chip behind it
is painted with, so face, size, ink, fill and outline are all asserted
rather than a widget's presence. It is negative-controlled: reverting
only the theme declaration fails it with
```text
Expected: a numeric value within <0.001> of <13.0>
Actual: <14.1>
```
and dropping the declaration entirely falls back to
`packages/gpt_markdown/JetBrainsMono` — so the test measures the real
thing, and it would catch a future regression that silently drops the
theme extension.
The test passes `baseStyle: messageBodyTextStyle`, the style the message
surfaces actually use; the widget's own fallback is the smaller
`bodyMedium`, which would move the expected size.
The test finds paragraphs with `find.byWidgetPredicate((widget) =>
widget is RichText)`, not `find.byType(RichText)`: inline code renders
through `BidiRichText`, a `RichText` subclass, and `byType` matches
exact runtime types.
That is a hazard for any test that reads text back out of a paragraph,
and one landed after this branch was cut:
`message_content_custom_emoji_test.dart` arrived with #6996 and its
`code keeps literal emoji while adjacent known tokens render` case reads
a code span through `find.byType(RichText)`. It passes on `main` and
fails on the merge result, which is what CI builds, so it went red only
once CI was authorized. It now uses the same predicate. The two other
`byType(RichText)` call sites — the rest of that file and
`message_author_meta_test.dart` — were re-run and pass: their content
carries no code span, so the exact type still matches. They were left
alone.
### Screenshots
Rendered through the real `MessageContent` widget with the app's own
fonts loaded, at 390pt wide, 3x DPR. Sample text: ``Set `BUZZ_RELAY_URL`
before launch, then run `just mobile-test` to verify.``
| | Before (1.1.6) | After (1.2.1) |
|---|---|---|
| Light |
|
|
| Dark |

Before: bold Inter on a flat wash, no chip edge, and `just mobile-test`
breaks across the line with the wash simply ending. After: Geist Mono in
a bordered, rounded chip, and the wrapped fragment gets its own chip on
each line.

## Summary
Reduce two separately measured mobile delays without changing the relay
API or removing rich message rendering:
- Publish the finite channel-list snapshot without waiting for live
subscription setup.
- Batch active channel-list subscriptions into sorted, deterministic
chunks of at most 128 explicit channel IDs, retaining unchanged chunks.
- Install replacement chunks before retiring old coverage. Retain old
chunks across thrown replacement failures; filter callbacks to the
current relay/identity and still-desired channels; clean up
retired/in-flight work across disconnect and disposal.
- Scope the custom-emoji Markdown matcher to known shortcodes actually
referenced in the rendered content, rather than embedding the whole
community palette in every message’s regex. Preserve unknown literals,
shared-colon token boundaries, event-tag URL priority, content edits,
and code literals.
- Honor explicit zero retry hints without inventing a ten-second
session-wide gate, while preserving the ordinary live-subscription retry
backoff and any already-active gate.
## Matched performance results
Medians of three before and three after process-cold launches,
alternated on the same authenticated iPhone 17 Pro / iOS 26.5 simulator.
Before is mobile source at `e76c81968b65b0755b83efdd59dc3375c59ddf40`;
after is this production patch before two documentation-only comment
fixes.
First channel-list frame: 11.617s → 3.179s · 73% lower latency
Live setup duration: 8.475s → 0.185s · 98% lower latency
Channel-open first message-list frame: 2.754s → 1.230s · 55% lower
latency
Message data ready → first frame: 1.977s → 0.286s · 86% lower latency
Channel-open reveal complete: 2.845s → 1.394s · 51% lower latency
Channel-open data readiness: 0.770s → 0.944s · 23% higher latency
The gain is client-side orchestration/rendering, not a claim that the
relay became faster. First channel-list frame ranges were 10.835–11.788s
before and 2.872–3.395s after; channel-open first-frame ranges were
1.560–2.906s before and 1.149–1.317s after.
### Measurement boundaries
- Debug simulator builds, CPU sampling disabled, bounded timestamp
probes enabled identically. These are not release/physical-device
measurements.
- Startup clock starts at Dart `main`; build/install/native pre-main
time is excluded. Auth/preferences and OS/disk caches are retained
between new processes.
- Same account scale: 113 active channels. Latest-message events varied
slightly with live activity (1543–1546).
- Channel-open uses the same initial 50-row history window, 97 query
events, and 67 provider events. The 2306-entry emoji palette is
explicitly loaded before navigation on both sides; palette preparation
is excluded from the channel-open clock and happens after the startup
frame measurement.
- Both diagnostic builds temporarily disabled unused avatar segmentation
to work around the existing Google ML Kit arm64-simulator slice
limitation. The workaround, dependency/native changes, auto-navigation,
and all probes are excluded from this PR.
## Validation
- Full mobile package suite: `flutter test` — 1890 passed.
- `just mobile-check` — 506 files unchanged; analyzer clean.
- `just file-size-check` — policy tests and all client ratchets passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- New lifecycle regressions cover front-sorting insertion across a chunk
boundary while replacement readiness is paused, failure
retention/departed-channel filtering, retired generation + disconnect
cleanup, disposal, chunk limits, unchanged-set reuse, and scope
switches.
- Emoji unit/widget coverage includes a 2500-unused-emoji palette,
unknown tokens, case matching at the component level, shared-colon
boundaries, rich text, event URL priority, and content edits.
- Fresh-frame source review traced the subscription queue/fences,
callback scopes, duplicate-event paths, matcher/wiring, and retry
scheduling.
- At committed/pushed head `13a83b628c8411c5885e6f76a250ba87accf6067`,
all normal pre-push hooks passed: `mobile-checks` (formatter, analyzer,
and the full 1890-test mobile suite), `file-size-check`, `branch-skew`,
and `push-head-scope`. The commit hook formatted 506 files with no
changes. Runtime measurements preceded only the two
documentation-comment fixes; no runtime source changed afterward.
## Limits / follow-ups
- `RelaySession.subscribe` still settles under its existing
EOSE/fallback/retryable-CLOSED contract. “Setup completed” is not an
unconditional EOSE or live-delivery guarantee. This PR does not add
status-aware replacement ownership.
- The channel-message provider still awaits subscribe before fetching
history; that separate serialization is not removed here.
- Oversized Huddle queries and the separate history batching path above
128 active channels remain follow-ups, as do pre-existing read-state
initialization/size warnings.
- Palette-only widget refresh and upstream Markdown uppercase-dispatch
behavior are not changed.
- A clean source build still has the existing Google ML Kit
arm64-simulator issue; the profiling workaround is not a proposed
product fix.

**Category:** improvement
**User Impact:** Buzz channel, message, repository, pull request, and
issue links now display recognizable context and navigate reliably in
the mobile app.
**Problem:** Bare Buzz permalinks appeared as raw or ambiguous URLs on
mobile, while channel and message links were not handled consistently
across Markdown forms and startup states.
**Solution:** Normalize eligible bare Buzz URLs without consuming
Markdown syntax, render them as semantic icon-prefixed chips, and route
channel/message targets through the mobile deep-link dispatcher while
preserving authored Markdown labels as ordinary links.

</details>
## Reproduction steps
1. Run the mobile app and open a channel containing bare
`buzz://channel`, `buzz://message`, `buzz://repo`, `buzz://pr`, and
`buzz://issue` URLs.
2. Confirm each bare URL renders as one cohesive chip with a type icon,
a useful name or shortened identifier, and no duplicated channel `#`
character.
3. Add an authored Markdown link such as `[design
discussion](buzz://issue?...)` and confirm the supplied label remains an
ordinary link rather than becoming a chip.
4. Select channel and message links and confirm they navigate correctly
from inline and autolinked forms.

Brings the Flutter app's emoji and thread surfaces up to desktop parity.
## Emoji
- **Full emoji-mart dataset** generated from the same `@emoji-mart/data`
set desktop uses (1,870 emoji, 8 categories), committed as an asset — so
shortcodes, names, and keywords are identical across clients. `just
mobile-emoji-data` regenerates it.
- **Rebuilt the tray**: search (a Dart port of desktop's tiered
`emojiSearch` ranking, extended to names and keywords), a
frequently-used section, and one continuous scroll with pinned section
headers. The category rail is a shortcut into that list, not a page
switcher, and spans the full width the search field uses. Custom emoji
share the native glyph size and cell.
- **Reaction pills** match desktop's geometry, and the count shows at 1.
- **Emoji-only messages** render at 36px with 1.45em inline custom
emoji, matching desktop's `emojiOnly` treatment.
- **Positive-emoji burst** ported from desktop's `EmojiBurstProvider`,
suppressed under reduced motion.
## Threads
- **Top-down layout** — head first under the app bar, replies flowing
down, like desktop's thread panel. The old reversed list bottom-anchored
the content and jammed the head against the composer.
- **Tap a channel message to open its thread**; long-press still opens
the action sheet.
- **Live reactions.** The thread's relay query is one-shot and its
`kinds` filter carries only content rows, so a reaction event could not
reach an open thread at all, and `allMessages` was a snapshot frozen
when the route was pushed — a new pill only appeared after leaving and
re-entering, which refetched. The live channel events are now unioned
into the thread's list. The burst is also route-guarded, since the
channel timeline stays mounted underneath and was claiming it first.
- The `+` affordance follows the channel: replies stay bare until they
carry a reaction, and the head keeps a standing `+`.
## Keyboard
A deliberate downward drag past ~48px dismisses the keyboard; short
scrolls leave it alone. Applies to the channel list, the thread list,
and the compose bar (via a raw `Listener`, so it can't steal the field's
tap or selection drags).
True finger-tracking dismissal is out of scope — Flutter only offers
`manual`/`onDrag`, and 1:1 tracking needs a native `UIScrollView` proxy
plus Android's `WindowInsetsAnimationController`.
## Testing
`just mobile-check` and `just mobile-test` pass (965 tests). New
coverage for emoji search ranking, dataset parsing, the emoji-only
predicate, tray scroll/rail behavior, reaction pills and the burst, and
both thread fixes above. `just ci` green.
