Persisted bottom-state integration apps/meteor/client/views/room/body/hooks/useIsAtBottomRef.ts, apps/meteor/client/views/room/body/hooks/useIsAtBottomRef.spec.ts, apps/meteor/client/views/room/body/RoomBody.tsx |
RoomBody now uses useIsAtBottomRef(room._id). The hook restores atBottom from the room store and defaults to true. |
Resize scroll behavior validation apps/meteor/client/views/room/MessageList/hooks/useKeepAtBottom.spec.ts, .changeset/jolly-poets-tan.md |
Tests cover repeated resize callbacks for mid-history and bottom-position lists. A patch changeset documents the fix. |
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes
Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7956c
Although the change restores persisted room scroll state, switching channels can still retain the previous room’s bottom-state and cause the message list to restore or move to the wrong position. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

of the message-list behavior description.

- Line 8: Update the hook containing the useRef initialization so its current
value is reset from RoomManager.getStore(rid)?.atBottom ?? true whenever rid
changes, rather than relying on the one-time initializer. Add a renderHook
rerender test that changes rid and verifies the ref reflects the new room’s
persisted atBottom value.

Learning: For changes related to OpenAPI migrations in Rocket.Chat/OpenAPI, when removing endpoint types and validators from rocket.chat/rest-typings (e.g., UserRegisterParamsPOST, /v1/users.register) document this as a minor changeset (not breaking) per RocketChat/Rocket.Chat-Open-API#150 Rule 7. Note that the endpoint type is re-exposed via a module augmentation .d.ts in the consuming package (e.g., packages/web-ui-registration/src/users-register.d.ts). In reviews, ensure the changeset clearly states: this is a non-breaking change, the major version should not be bumped, and the changeset reflects a minor version bump. Do not treat this as a breaking change during OpenAPI migrations.

Timestamp: 2026-02-10T16:32:42.586Z
Learning: In Rocket.Chat's Meteor client code, DDP streams use EJSON and Date fields arrive as Date objects; do not manually construct new Date() in stream handlers (for example, in sdk.stream()). Only REST API responses return plain JSON where dates are strings, so implement explicit conversion there if needed. Apply this guidance to all TypeScript files under apps/meteor/client to ensure consistent date handling in DDP streams and REST responses.

Learning: In Rocket.Chat’s Meteor client code, when calling `dispatchToastMessage` with `{ type: 'error' }`, pass the raw caught error object as `message` without manual normalization. `dispatchToastMessage` is designed to accept `message: unknown` for error toasts, so avoid converting errors to strings (e.g., `String(error)`) or extracting `error.message` before passing them.

Learning: In Playwright end-to-end tests (e.g., under apps/meteor/tests/e2e/...), prefer locating elements by translated text (getByText) and ARIA roles (getByRole) over data-qa attributes. If translation values change, update the corresponding test locators accordingly. Never use data-qa locators. This guideline applies to all Playwright e2e test specs in the repository and helps keep tests robust to UI text changes and accessible semantics.

Learning: In the Rocket.Chat repository, do not reference Biome lint rules in code review feedback. Biome is not used even if biome.json exists; only reference Biome rules if there is explicit, project-wide usage documented. For TypeScript files, review lint implications without Biome guidance unless the project enables Biome rules.

Learning: In this repository (RocketChat/Rocket.Chat), Biome lint rules are not used even if a biome.json exists. When reviewing TypeScript files (e.g., packages/ui-voip/src/providers/useMediaSession.ts), ensure lint suggestions do not reference Biome-specific rules. Rely on general ESLint/TypeScript lint rules and project conventions instead.

Learning: In tests (especially those using testing-library/dom/jsdom) for Rocket.Chat components, the HTML <code> element has an implicit ARIA role of 'code'. Therefore, screen.getByRole('code') or screen.findByRole('code') will locate <code> elements even without a role attribute. Do not flag findByRole('code') as invalid in reviews; prefer using the implicit role instead of adding role="code" unless necessary for accessibility.

Learning: Field wrappers in rocket.chat/fuselage-forms (Field, FieldLabel, FieldRow, FieldError, FieldHint) auto-create htmlFor/id associations, aria-describedby, and role="alert" for errors. Do not manually set htmlFor, id, aria-describedby, or role attributes when using these wrappers. This automatic wiring does not apply to plain rocket.chat/fuselage components, which require explicit ID wiring per the accessibility docs. In code reviews, prefer using fuselage-forms wrappers for form fields and verify there is no unnecessary manual ID/aria wiring in files that use these wrappers. If a component uses plain fuselage components, ensure proper id wiring as per docs.

Learning: In Rocket.Chat, there are two different `ModalBackdrop` components with different prop APIs. During review, confirm the import source: (1) `rocket.chat/fuselage` `ModalBackdrop` uses `ModalBackdropProps` based on `BoxProps` (so it supports `onClick` and other Box/DOM props) and does not have an `onDismiss` prop; (2) `rocket.chat/ui-client` `ModalBackdrop` uses a narrower props interface like `{ children?: ReactNode; onDismiss?: () => void }` and handles Escape keypress and outside mouse-up, and it does not forward arbitrary DOM props such as `onClick`. Flag mismatched props (e.g., `onDismiss` passed to the fuselage component or `onClick` passed to the ui-client component) and ensure the usage matches the correct component being imported.

<violation number="1" location="apps/meteor/client/views/room/body/hooks/useIsAtBottomRef.ts:8">
P2: The seeded atBottom comes from a value persisted through a 100ms debounced callback in useStoreScrollPosition. If a user scrolls from the bottom up into mid-history and switches channels within that 100ms window, the latest atBottom=false update never flushes, so the store keeps atBottom=true and on return the ref re-seeds true, snapping the list back to the latest messages. Consider flushing the atBottom update synchronously on scroll/navigation (or including atBottom persistence outside the debounce) so the restored state reflects the actual last position.</violation>

RoomBodyinitializedisAtBottomto a hardcodedtrue, so a room always started out believing it was pinned to the bottom — even when reopening one the user had left scrolled mid-history.That matters because
useKeepAtBottomobserves the message list with aResizeObserverand scrolls to the end on every resize whileisAtBottom.currentis true. Message rows resize repeatedly as they are measured after the list remounts, so the restored mid-history position was dragged down to the latest messages.isAtBottomis now seeded from theatBottomvalue already persisted per room inRoomManager's store, falling back totruewhen there is no store yet (first visit).Issue(s)
Steps to test or reproduce
Note: with more than 5 rooms open,
closeOlderRooms()evicts the room's stored position and messages, which masks the behavior — test with a small number of open rooms.Further comments
