On iOS, a tall code block with long lines shows its header and reserves its full height, but the code pane stays empty until you tap wrap.

The pane drew all of its code into one bitmap the size of the whole block: full code width by full height. A few hundred lines of JSON with long strings needs more than iOS will allocate, so nothing draws. Wrap fixed it only because it narrows the pane to the screen width.

This vendors a fixed react-native-enriched-markdown archive and changes nothing else. On iOS the code pane now draws through a canvas child. Blocks small enough for one bitmap draw the same way as before, so they still show in their first frame. Larger blocks draw through a CATiledLayer, which only renders the tiles on screen.

Landing order: merge pingdotgg/enriched-markdown#15 first, then this PR.

Fixes #32928

Verification

iPhone 15 simulator (iOS 26.5), T3 Code dev client, isolated dev server, with a replayed reply holding a 543-line JSON block whose longest line is 347 characters.

Before: main's client After: this branch's client
The pane is blank on open and still blank at the header. Tapping wrap makes the text appear. The code shows on open, scrolls sideways through the long lines, and wraps and unwraps.

after-wide-small.mp4
  • A 403-line narrow JSON block (now tiled) and the small highlighted TypeScript block in the replay showcase render as before.
  • vp run check:changed passes.
  • No unit test: this is a native drawing failure with no JS-visible state, so the recordings are the proof.
  • Not checked: a physical device, and iOS 27. The original report was on an iPhone running iOS 27.2 beta.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 786e5a7

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Updates the mobile Markdown dependency so oversized iOS code blocks draw through tiles instead of appearing blank. The change is confined to rendering, with no change to product defaults or customer data handling.

Walkthrough

The mobile app now references a newer react-native-enriched-markdown tarball, and the workspace build allowance uses the matching version. The dependency README documents tiled drawing for iOS code blocks too large for one backing store.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the fix (tall iOS code blocks with long lines showing their code) and the scope (mobile). It matches the main change: the code pane draws through a canvas child and tiled layer so the code appears on open. It is a conventional commit title in plain language.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#32928] Requirement: on iOS, the code pane of a tall code block must show its text when the block is on screen, together with the header. The reported cause is a single backing bitmap sized to the full code width and height, which the PR states iOS cannot allocate for long blocks. The wrap control narrows that bitmap, which fits the report that wrap makes the text appear. The PR changes ios/segments/ENRMCodeBlockContainerView.m in the vendored fork. Per the PR, the code pane now draws through a canvas child. Blocks that fit one bitmap keep the prior path. Larger blocks draw through a CATiledLayer that renders only visible tiles. This addresses the reported failure mode. The author reports a simulator check on iOS 26.5 with a 543-line block whose longest line is 347 characters. The check covers open, horizontal scroll, and wrap toggling. Limits of this verdict: the .m source sits in the external fork archive and was not inspected here. The iOS 27.2 beta environment from the report was not checked. No automated test covers the change. The issue's own candidate causes (reuse path skipping applyCodeBlockNode, zero-bounds first layout) are not addressed by name. The PR's bitmap-size explanation is the stated root cause.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR changes five areas. (1) The fork archive pointer in apps/mobile/package.json moves from ...-t3.18-497fbe63.tgz to ...-t3.18-0dc7ed81.tgz. (2) pnpm-workspace.yaml updates the matching allowBuilds entry. (3) apps/mobile/deps/README.md adds one line describing the tiled-drawing fork change. (4) The lockfile follows the dependency bump. The lockfile is in ignored_files, so its contents were not reviewed. The bump does not depend on its contents for this verdict. (5) The archive itself differs from the prior archive only in ios/segments/ENRMCodeBlockContainerView.m and t3-fork.json, per the PR summary. Each change either carries the iOS code-block fix into the app or records that fix. No unrelated feature, refactor, or file change appears in the summary. The .m change is the direct implementation of the issue. The version bump is required to ship it.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the problem (iOS tall code block with long lines shows an empty code pane until wrap is tapped), explains the cause (one bitmap sized to the full block) and the fix (canvas child, with CATiledLayer for larger blocks), and links the issue #32928 and the fork PR. It has the Problem, Change, Scope/linked issue, and Verification content the template asks for. The Scope and approval section is thin: it links the issue but does not show a maintainer-approved direction or scope comment, and the author does not say why the fix is exempt from prior approval. The Verification section includes device, simulator, and iOS version details, before/after recordings, and states what was not checked. The template also asks for the model and harness used; the author states Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code. The template's conventional commit title is not part of the PR description, so it is not assessed here.

Takeover fixup:

  • Merged current main (merge commit, no rebase). No conflicts.
  • Dropped the @pnpm/exe entries the PR had added to pnpm-lock.yaml. They came from a local pnpm and are unrelated to the tarball swap. The lockfile diff is now just the react-native-enriched-markdown path and integrity, and that integrity matches the committed 0dc7ed81 tarball.
  • No code findings left to address. CodeRabbit withdrew its backgroundLayoutEnabled finding because that API is AppKit-only.

vp run check:changed passes: format, knip, typecheck of 41 packages, tests. I did not run the change on an iOS device.
