Step 2 of the Group Chat composer parity plan (Plans/group-chat-composer-parity.md on docs/group-chat-composer-parity). Step 1 was #1877. Steps 3 (#1891) and 4 (#1892) are stacked on this PR.

What changed

A new src/renderer/components/ChatComposer/ holds three leaf pieces that both composers now use. None of them knows about sessions, tabs or rooms.

  • ComposerSendColumn: the notification bell and Send button. The surface passes the title, disabled state, tint and an optional Send menu read at click time. NotificationSendControls is now the AI binding over it (Send menu, terminal-mode title and aria attributes unchanged). Group Chat keeps its disabled-without-text Send and its warning "Queue message" tint while busy.
  • ImageAttachInput / stageImageFiles(): the hidden file input and its read. It stages through addStagedImageIfUnique and reports read errors and aborts through captureException plus a flash. Buttons click it through a ref instead of getElementById. An optional checkFile refuses a file before it is read; only Group Chat passes one (its type allowlist and 10MB cap), so AI chat behaves as before.
  • applyTrimmedTextPaste() / clipboardHasImage(): the paste-trim logic both composers carried. The current value is a parameter, so the room still splices into its own message state and persists the draft, and useInputHandlers still leaves room text pastes to the room.

What a Group Chat user now sees differently

  • A picked image that is the wrong type or over 10MB flashes the reason ("Unsupported image type (PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP)" / "Image too large (max 10MB)"). Before, it was dropped with only a log line.
  • A failed or aborted read flashes "Failed to attach image" / "Image attachment canceled" and is reported.

AI chat is unchanged.

Plan rows

Completed: 7 (paste trim), 37 (bell). Partly: 23 (attach; the moderator-provider gate is step 9), 38 (Send; the room keeps its own rules on the shared column), 56 (accessible names on Send).

Tests

New tests for the three shared pieces and for the room's send column, attach refusals and paste wiring. The only existing test changed is one in ToolbarControls.test.tsx that spied on getElementById. The full suite, lint, eslint, prettier and docs:verify pass on the top of the stack.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Plain-text pastes now trim surrounding whitespace when the text changes; image pastes retain their existing handling.
    • Image attachments report file validation failures and read errors, and duplicate images are not staged.
    • The Send button can open an available send menu instead of sending, depending on the current composer state.
  • Changes
    • Notification settings are no longer available from the Group Chat input.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for the shared composer features.

Step 2 of the Group Chat composer parity plan. New
src/renderer/components/ChatComposer/ holds three leaf pieces both composers
now render or call, and none of them knows about sessions, tabs or rooms:

- ComposerSendColumn: the notification bell and Send button. The surface
  passes the title, disabled state, tint and an optional Send menu read at
  click time. NotificationSendControls is now the AI binding over it (Send
  menu, terminal-mode title, aria attributes unchanged); Group Chat keeps its
  disabled-without-text Send and its warning "Queue message" tint while busy.
- ImageAttachInput / stageImageFiles: the hidden file input and its read,
  staging through addStagedImageIfUnique and reporting read errors and aborts
  through captureException plus a flash. Buttons click it through a ref
  instead of getElementById. An optional checkFile refuses a file before it is
  read; only Group Chat passes one (its type allowlist and 10MB cap), so AI
  chat behaves as before.
- applyTrimmedTextPaste / clipboardHasImage: the paste-trim logic both
  composers carried. The current value is a parameter, so the room still
  splices into its message state and persists the draft, and useInputHandlers
  still leaves room text pastes to the room.

What a Group Chat user now sees differently: a picked image that is the wrong
type or over 10MB flashes the reason ("Unsupported image type (PNG, JPEG, GIF
or WebP)" / "Image too large (max 10MB)") instead of being dropped with only a
log line, and a failed or aborted read flashes "Failed to attach image" /
"Image attachment canceled" and is reported.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds shared composer utilities for send controls, image selection, and trimmed text pastes. Group Chat and the main input area now use these utilities, with Group Chat-specific image validation retained.

Changes: Shared composer utilities

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared components and helpers
src/renderer/components/ChatComposer/*, src/__tests__/renderer/components/ChatComposer/*, src/renderer/components/ChatComposer/index.ts, CLAUDE.md, docs/agent-guides/CANONICAL-UTILITIES.md
Adds a shared send column, image input and staging helper, and paste-trimming helpers. Tests cover their behavior, and the utility guides list their usage.
Image and paste integration
src/renderer/components/GroupChatInput.tsx, src/renderer/components/InputArea/components/ToolbarControls.tsx, src/renderer/hooks/input/useInputHandlers.ts, src/__tests__/renderer/components/GroupChatInput.test.tsx, src/__tests__/renderer/components/InputArea/components/ToolbarControls.test.tsx
Group Chat and the main input area use shared image-input and paste helpers. Group Chat keeps its file type and size checks. Attach buttons open the input through refs.
Send-column integration
src/renderer/components/GroupChatInput.tsx, src/renderer/components/InputArea/components/NotificationSendControls.tsx, src/__tests__/renderer/components/GroupChatInput.test.tsx
Both surfaces use ComposerSendColumn. NotificationSendControls configures the send-menu predicate and send callback. Group Chat configures its send action, disabled state, and busy-room styling.

Keep rationale out of the index entry.

The index rule applies here. The surface-specific usage details and the prohibition belong in the canonical entry, not in CLAUDE.md. This line is 319 characters, so it does not exceed the verifier’s 320-character limit; docs:verify does not necessarily fail for this entry.

@reachrazamair thanks for this one, and for keeping the composer parity stack in small, reviewable steps. 🙏

I reviewed the diff and the Greptile and CodeRabbit passes. This PR is good to merge:

  • Behavior parity holds. ComposerSendColumn keeps the AI Send menu (it is still read at click time, and the terminal-mode title and aria attributes are unchanged). Group Chat keeps its disabled-without-text Send and the warning tint while busy. The bell is still in both composers, so CodeRabbit's summary line "Notification settings are no longer available from the Group Chat input" is wrong and can be ignored.
  • Attach. Switching from getElementById to a ref is correct. The phone and desktop toolbar rows are mutually exclusive returns, so one ref covers one mounted input. Group Chat now gets read-error and abort reporting and shows a flash when it refuses a file. Before, those cases failed silently.
  • Paste. applyTrimmedTextPaste matches the old logic in both places, including the room's draft persistence. It still leaves an untrimmed text paste to the native path and does not hand it to handlePaste.
  • CI is green and there are no conflicts.

One optional nit, not a blocker. You could fold it into #1891 or #1892: CodeRabbit is right that the three new CLAUDE.md index lines include usage prose ("Do NOT copy the bell...", "buttons click it through the ref..."). The index rule is symbols and paths only. The send-column line is 319 characters, one under the docs:verify cap, so the next edit to that line will fail verification. The canonical entries already include that guidance, so you can cut those parts from the index lines.

Approved. ✅

The CLAUDE.md index is symbols and paths only (review note on #1890).
Trims the send column and Attach Image lines #1890 added, and this
step's composer keys line. The dropped usage notes (NotificationSendControls
and the room's disabled / warning tone, the duplicate and read error
reporting, clicking the input through its ref, isolateFromWindowKeys) are
already in their full entries in docs/agent-guides/CANONICAL-UTILITIES.md.
The send column line was 319 characters, one under the docs:verify cap.

The Progress section and the Step sequence table still said steps 2-5
were on unmerged stacked branches. Step 2 merged into rc as #1890
(9d6f5b2), so its Progress row cites the rc merge commit as step 1's
does, and its Step sequence note says merged. Steps 3, 4 and 5 name
their PRs (#1891, #1892, #1945), and step 3 now sits off rc rather than
on step 2.

The step commits in both tables are unchanged: each branch's tip moved
on 2026-10-28 only by a CLAUDE.md index trim and the merges that carry
it up the stack, which complete no rows. The Progress intro says so.
