feat(composer): choose when large pastes become text attachments - #21490
Pasted text only becomes a pasted-text.txt attachment at 32 KB, so everyday logs, stack traces, and code blocks still fill the composer. Users who want earlier folding have no way to get it. Other agent apps fold much earlier: the Codex CLI at 1,000 characters and the Codex desktop app at 5,000.
Change
Adds a pastedTextAttachmentThreshold client setting with three presets: 1 KB (~1,000 chars), 5 KB (~5,000 chars), and 32 KB (~32,000 chars), the default and today's behavior.
Contract:PastedTextAttachmentThreshold literal schema in ClientSettingsSchema and ClientSettingsPatch. A stored value that isn't a current preset decodes to the default instead of failing the whole client-settings decode, so adjusting the presets later can't wipe settings. Patches stay strict.
Shared logic:pastedTextDisposition() takes the threshold as a required argument instead of the hardcoded constant, so every call site has to pass it. The existing length-or-UTF-8-bytes comparison is unchanged. Because it counts bytes, the presets are labelled as sizes with approximate character counts (pastedTextThresholdLabel). The settings copy and docs note that non-Latin text and emoji fold with fewer characters.
Web and desktop: a "Large paste threshold" select under Settings → Chat, with reset, search, and restore-defaults handling. The composer reads it.
Mobile: a device-local preference (mobile has no client-settings sync, same as followUpBehavior) and an "Attach pastes as files from" section on the Settings → Chat page, next to follow-ups. The thread composer's paste path and both native editor wrappers pass it. The hook selects only the threshold, so unrelated preference writes don't re-render the editors. The native editors already took textPasteThresholdBytes as a prop, so Swift and Kotlin are untouched.
Docs: the large-paste paragraph in docs/user/composer.md points to the setting.
Scope and approval
This is a focused configuration option for an existing capability, the paste folding from #11442. The option only controls the size at which a paste folds. The default, the attachment behavior, the byte-aware comparison, the input-limit folding, and the Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V bypass are unchanged. Context and the Codex comparison are in Ideas discussion #21489. That discussion doesn't have maintainer approval yet; I'm opening this under the configuration-option route and am happy to adjust scope or presets there.
Verification
Merged current main (f991781872) into the branch. Main had moved the web paste handling into useComposerAttachmentIntake, moved composer settings into a Chat page on web and mobile, removed mobile's menu paste-into-draft path, and added enterBehavior and language beside the code this touches, so the setting lives in Chat on every surface and the separate mobile Large pastes screen is gone. A follow-up commit moves the web row from the Follow-ups section, where an earlier merge had left it, to the Composer section after Send shortcut, drops the "(default)" suffix from the web select to match the other selects on that page, and validates the stored mobile preference with the contract schema.
vp run check:changed passes on this head: format, lint, knip, typecheck of the 37 affected packages, the tests beside the changes, and the React compiler check.
Tests follow main's current testing rules, so only three cases remain: the fold boundary at each preset, the byte count at the 1 KB preset (360 CJK characters fold), and the decode fallback for a stored preset that is no longer offered (other settings survive). The label, default, and patch round-trip cases are gone.
Web (dev server, isolated empty state, head 87d6efed83): checked by reading the page, not from images, because the screenshot tool timed out. The Chat page reads Composer → Rich text composer → Send shortcut → Large paste threshold → Advanced → Follow-ups. The select offers the three size labels. The reset button appears only off the default and restores 32 KB. Settings search for "paste" finds the row and jumps to it. At 1 KB, a 1,500-character paste event became pasted-text.txt (2 KB) and a 500-character one stayed inline; these were synthetic paste events, not real clipboard pastes. The web screenshots below are still from an earlier base (ddab437d00).
iOS (iPhone 18 Pro simulator, iOS 27.0, dev client for head 87d6efed83): at 1 KB, a 1,500-character paste became pasted-text.txt (2 KB) and a 500-character paste stayed inline. The choice persists across an app relaunch. Screenshots below are from this head.
The mobile preference sanitizer, which drops unknown stored thresholds, has no dedicated test; the rest of that function is untested too.
Not checked: Android on a device. It uses the same JS paths and the existing textPasteThresholdBytes prop.

Walkthrough
The change adds configurable pasted-text attachment thresholds for web and mobile. It defines supported values and a default, adds settings controls and persistence, and passes the selected threshold to composer paste handling.
Changes: Large-Paste Threshold
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Threshold contract and paste disposition packages/contracts/src/settings.ts, packages/contracts/src/settings.test.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/textPaste.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/textPaste.test.ts
Defines 1,000-, 5,000-, and 32,768-byte thresholds, with 32,768 as the default. Paste disposition accepts the configured threshold. Tests cover threshold handling, labels, shortcuts, attachment naming, and text insertion.
Web and mobile threshold settings apps/web/src/components/settings/SettingsPanels.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/settingsSearch.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/SettingsFollowUpRouteScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/settings-search.ts, apps/mobile/src/persistence/mobile-preferences.ts, docs/user/composer.md
Adds threshold selectors and setting search entries. Mobile preferences validate saved values; web restore-defaults includes the setting. Composer documentation describes byte thresholds and settings locations.
Web and mobile composers pass the configured threshold to paste handling. The native editor receives the threshold when a paste handler is set, and 0 otherwise.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 9cb3c
The configurable threshold reaches web and mobile paste handling. No merge-blocking risk was identified.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 7c85f
The change is limited to when pasted text enters the existing attachment workflow. Supported presets, unchanged attachment limits, and the existing default constrain its impact. No new security issue was established, although downstream storage and interruption recovery were not fully verified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The directly affected scope is the user's client preference and composer drafts. Selecting a lower preset increases attachment staging of pasted content, but the inspected change does not add a destination, service privilege, or cross-tenant authority. Downstream storage and provider exposure remain outside the completed trace.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Clipboard text remains content input rather than an authority-bearing parameter. Web attachment staging retains active-thread, checkpoint, question-policy, size, and slot checks; eventual sending uses the existing composer send context rather than a new paste-specific dispatch path.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Mobile paste handlers retain target-scoped filename reservations and final append-capacity checks. New-task attachment creation removes the produced file when the draft identity changes or insertion is rejected; the thread handler also removes files rejected by append. These controls do not establish cleanup after process termination.

Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template's Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections, and it is detailed. It states the problem, lists the contract, shared logic, web/desktop, mobile, and docs changes, and gives a scope rationale that cites an existing capability (paste folding from #11442) and a configuration-option route. Verification is substantive: it lists the commands run, the manual web and iOS checks with observed results, the untested parts, and the Android gap. The template asks for maintainer approval or a justification, and the author admits the discussion (#21489) has no maintainer approval yet. That gap is the main weakness, but the template explicitly allows a focused configuration of an established capability with an explanation, which the author gives. Web screenshots come from an earlier base, which the author discloses. The description is mostly complete.

Keep layout classes on the parent.
SelectTrigger is a shared components/ui control, and AGENTS.md requires width classes to belong on the parent. The lint allowlist and existing call sites do not define an exception. Because the default trigger adds w-full min-w-36, moving these classes alone would not preserve the content-sized control. Use a content-sized SelectTrigger variant without those width constraints, and apply w-auto min-w-0 max-w-full to its parent wrapper.

Pastes fold into a text-file attachment only at 32 KiB, so long logs and
code blocks still flood the composer. Add a client setting with three
presets (1 KB, 5 KB, and 32 KB, the default) on web, desktop, and mobile.
The shared paste disposition and the native editors now read the chosen
threshold instead of a constant. Presets are labelled by size because the
comparison counts UTF-8 bytes, and a stored value that is no longer a
preset decodes to the default instead of failing the settings decode.
The setting lives in the Chat settings on web, desktop, and mobile.

@coderabbitai Declining the SelectTrigger width nitpick in SettingsPanels.tsx: the repo's shadcn/no-restyle rule explicitly allows layout classes on components/ui controls (allow: ["layout"] in vite.config.ts), and the adjacent Send shortcut row on main uses the identical className="w-auto min-w-0 max-w-full". Adding a new content-sized SelectTrigger variant would be a shared UI change outside this PR's scope.
@danddanddand Agreed. vite.config.ts explicitly allows layout classes for shadcn/no-restyle. The adjacent Send shortcut control also uses className="w-auto min-w-0 max-w-full".
I applied the supplied UI guidance too broadly when treating these classes as a lint violation. I withdraw the width nitpick. No new SelectTrigger variant is needed for this PR.

Learning: Applies to apps/web/src/components/ui/select.tsx : Source excerpt:
# T3 Code
## Taste
- `apps/web/src/components/ui` exports own their look. Pick a `variant` or `size`; do not restyle one with `className`. If none fits and the look is a generic concept, add a variant to the component; a look that belongs to one feature stays in that feature's own component, not in `components/ui`. Layout classes (width, flex, margin, position) belong on the parent. `shadcn/no-restyle` fails lint on violations. See [Web UI](docs/internals/web-ui.md).
A merge with main had left the web "Large paste threshold" row inside the
Follow-ups section. It now follows Send shortcut in the Composer section.
The select shows the plain size labels, like the other selects on the page;
the reset button already marks a non-default choice. Mobile validates the
stored preference with the contract schema instead of a cast, and the tests
are cut down to the cases main's testing rules keep: the threshold boundary,
the UTF-8 byte count, and the fallback for a stored preset that is no
longer offered.
