fix(web): text after a composer list no longer joins its last item - #29016
In the web composer, a line typed right after a list joins the list's last item once the message is sent. Pressing Enter twice ends the list, and the composer shows the next line as its own paragraph. But the draft only puts a single newline between them (2. descenders cut off\nalso, does…). Markdown treats that line as a lazy continuation, so the sent message renders it inside item 2.
To reproduce, type 1. one, Enter, two, Enter twice, then after, and send. "after" renders indented under "two".
Change
#19450 fixed the same bug for quotes by writing a blank line between a quote and the paragraph after it. This PR applies that check to bullet, numbered and task lists too, in apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.ts. Like the quote version, the blank line owns no document characters, so caret and offset mapping still clamp to the start of the paragraph.
If the user already left an empty line, no second blank line is added. A paragraph that starts with spaces or a tab is left alone, because Markdown treats an indented line as a deliberate continuation of the item. The check looks at the paragraph's first node rather than its textContent, so a paragraph that starts with a file chip still counts as unindented.
Two fixes keep drafts stable when they load:
The parser now drops the blank line the serializer wrote, using the same rule. Before, a reloaded draft (after a thread switch, for example) came back with an empty paragraph under the list. Quotes have done this since fix(web): a comment under a composer quote no longer joins the quote #19450, and this fixes them too. The trade-off: if a user leaves an empty line under a list or quote and then writes a paragraph, that empty line goes away on reload. The message they send doesn't change.
When loading adds blank lines to a glued draft (an old draft, or a switch from plain to rich text), the editor moves the caret past them. Without this, text typed at the end landed one character early.
Drafts saved before this change pick up the blank line the next time they load, same as quotes did after #19450.
Mobile isn't affected because its composer is plain text, so the user types every newline.
Scope and approval
This is a small fix for an obvious bug, so there's no prior issue: what the composer shows and what it sends don't match. It reuses the blank line #19450 added for quotes. It also teaches the parser and the editor's caret mapping about that line, so it doesn't drift when a draft reloads.
Verification
New cases in composer-rich-text-doc.test.ts cover a paragraph after a bullet, numbered, task or nested list, after a list when the paragraph starts with a chip, and after a quote. Each checks that the glued draft gets the blank line, that the corrected text round-trips unchanged, and that reading it back gives the same blocks as the glued draft. All fail on main.
composer-list-split.browser.test.ts already reloads each stored draft and compares the docs. Two of its expected strings now include the blank line.
A new case in ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.input.browser.test.tsx loads - item\npara and > quote\npara with the caret at the end, types, and checks that the text lands at the end. Both fail without the caret fix.
Two existing rows recorded the old output. para\n- item\npara is replaced by - item\n indented continuation, which covers the indented case, and the task-list round-trip row now expects the blank line. The cursor-position test keeps its glued para\n- [ ] task\npara input, so it now walks every offset across the new blank line.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.

Summary
Paragraph spacing serialization and round-trip tests apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.ts, apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.test.ts, apps/web/src/composer-list-split.browser.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.input.browser.test.tsx
Parsing retains source lines to distinguish blank lines from indented continuations. Serialization adds blank lines before qualifying paragraphs after lists or blockquotes. Tests cover round trips, block types, list splitting, pasted paragraphs, and editor input.
The exported shiftPastAddedBlankLines utility adjusts offsets to account for serialized blank lines. Controlled selection restoration and focusAt use the adjusted offsets.
pingdotgg/t3code#29611: The issue concerns Markdown block separation in the rich composer, which is also addressed by this change.
pingdotgg/t3code#27080: The issue concerns CRLF blank-line handling and caret behavior; this change updates CRLF blank-line detection and adds round-trip coverage.

Review comments at @apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.ts:
- Line 1458: Update the draft normalization flow around
needsBlankLineBeforeParagraph so saved cursor offsets after an inserted blank
line are shifted by the added newline length. Preserve offsets before the
insertion point and keep the cursor at the end of the normalized draft when it
was at the end originally.
- Line 1012: Update the list-boundary check using `previous` and `block` to
inspect the first serialized inline content, including atoms, rather than
relying on `block.textContent`; preserve the existing leading-space behavior for
ordinary text so paragraphs beginning with an atom and then a space receive the
required blank line.

The blank line written between a list or quote and the paragraph after it
came back as an empty paragraph when a draft reloaded. The parser now drops
it. The leading-space check looks at the first node, so a paragraph that
starts with a chip still gets the blank line. When loading adds blank
lines, the caret moves past them.

Preserve an existing empty paragraph on reload.
If a document contains a list, an empty paragraph, and text, serializeDoc writes - item\n\ntext. This branch removes the empty paragraph when the draft reloads. The same loss occurs after a quote. Give an existing empty paragraph a distinct serialized line, then remove only the separator added for Markdown.

Note
Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria
Leaving this as is. [list, empty paragraph, text] and [list, text] both serialize to - item\n\ntext, so the saved draft and the sent message are byte-identical; only the editor's extra empty line collapses on reload. Keeping it would mean writing an extra blank line into sent messages plus a matching parser rule, which is more than this fix should carry.

@maria-rcks Understood. The supplied code confirms that both document shapes produce the same Markdown. The reload changes editor spacing, not the saved or sent text. Keeping this documented limitation is reasonable for this PR.
Would you like a follow-up issue for preserving the empty paragraph on reload?
verified head 41c4b1fb2e3032b561f0bd77174b00abfe606372 as-is on a linux boat vm, using the dev web app, repository playwright, and /usr/bin/google-chrome. created the project and threads through the app, with real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. no mocks or seeded data.
reproduced on github/main (a9ac1e8e54) first: typed 1. one, newline, two, two newlines, after. with the default send shortcut, used shift+enter for newlines. the composer showed a separate paragraph, but the sent message rendered after inside item 2. stopped main before starting the exact pr head. the same input now sends after as a separate paragraph, and codex completes its response.
also exercised bullet and task lists, quote exit, draft reload without an extra paragraph, appending at the saved caret after reload, and loading a legacy plain-text list draft into rich text with typing preserved at the end. real provider responses completed.
confirmed the limitation already described in the pr and review: an intentional empty paragraph between a list and following text disappears on reload. the sent markdown still separates the paragraph. this verification does not claim that limitation is fixed.
blacksmith: vp run check:changed dd6c05ec313c6c870c7a7688e87143da5084031d passed formatting, lint, knip, affected typechecks, and 287 tests across four files. existing head ci reports 29 successful checks. no source changes or pushes were needed.
Not verified
native desktop, ios, and android clients were not exercised on this linux web run. other providers, remote relay/tunnel connections, and dark theme were not exercised. the intentional-empty-paragraph reload limitation remains as documented above.
Takeover update (claude-opus-5-5)
merged current main with a merge commit (761e9a4). main's new selectMarkdownOffset conflicted with this pr's caret mapping in ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.tsx; both call sites now pass the offset through shiftPastAddedBlankLines before selectMarkdownOffset. the browser test conflict kept both sides' cases. after the merge, coderabbit found that a CRLF blank line after a list or quote counted as non-empty and gained a second newline on reload; fixed in c381acb with an added row in the CRLF round-trip test. on blacksmith, vp run check:changed passed format, lint, knip, typecheck, and 311 tests across four files, including the list/quote caret browser cases. the earlier coderabbit note (empty paragraph after a list on reload) is the limitation above; replied on that thread. the real-app flow above was not re-run on the merged head.
