fix(mobile): Android composer's send row no longer hides behind the taskbar with a hardware keyboard - #21691
On an Android tablet with a physical keyboard and the system taskbar showing, focusing the composer drops its + and send row behind the taskbar, so every send needs an extra tap. Refs #21684
Change
With a hardware keyboard, Android can report the keyboard as open with zero height. The thread composer then removed its bottom padding as if a keyboard were lifting it, with nothing lifting it, so it slid under the taskbar.
Thread composer: when the keyboard is open with zero height, keep the bottom padding.
PR discussion reply bar: only drop its bottom inset when the keyboard actually has height.
Keyboards with a real height behave as before.
Verification
Main has not changed either file since these recordings, so they still match the code at this head.
No test: this is a layout fix, proven by captures rather than a unit test.
vp run check:changed passed at 9a3917e (format, lint, knip, typecheck, React Compiler).
Not shown: the zero-height hardware-keyboard state itself, before or after, and the discussion reply bar on any device. Neither has been reproduced on a device yet.
Merged with main, reviewed and re-verified by Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, with a review pass by GPT-6.1-Sol in Codex.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The change is a narrowly scoped Android layout bug fix that preserves existing behavior for normal keyboard states and only adjusts composer insets when the IME is visible without height. It introduces no new capability, schema, deployment, security, billing, or static-analysis changes.
No code changes detected at 5bb2500. Prior analysis still applies.

It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The discussion screen uses the reduced inset only when the keyboard is visible and has positive height. The thread detail screen sets the offset to zero when the keyboard is visible with zero height.
The change is likely mergeable, but the new keyboard-layout behavior should have focused regression tests before relying on it.

Explanation
The title names the main change: a fix for the Android composer's send row hiding behind the taskbar when a hardware keyboard is used. The raw summary shows keyboard-offset logic changes in ThreadDetailScreen and PullRequestDiscussionScreen that match this aim. The title is a conventional commit with a plain-language subject. Its length (100 characters) is long but does not make it unclear.

The description explains the problem and change, but it omits scope approval and does not show the changed behavior before and after. The linked issue is not identified as triaged, and the zero-height keyboard state and discussion reply bar were not verified.
Resolution
Add a Scope and approval section that links a triaged issue or explicit maintainer approval, or explains why this is a small, focused fix of an obvious bug. Add before-and-after UI evidence for the zero-height keyboard state and verify the discussion reply bar, or explain what prevented those checks.

- Around line 651-652: Update the keyboard-state handling in ThreadDetailScreen
so keyboardDidShow refreshes the visible state and live height before
composerKeyboardOffset is calculated. Ensure the recovery path applies the
zero-height fix after a hide/show sequence even when useKeyboardState retains
stale values.

… keyboard
With a hardware keyboard the IME is visible but has no height above the
navigation bar or taskbar. The keyboard library still reports progress 1,
so the thread composer's sticky view applied its full "opened" offset and
cancelled the bottom safe-area padding with nothing lifting it, leaving the
button row under the taskbar. Only cancel the padding when the keyboard has
height. The PR discussion reply bar dropped its inset on visibility alone
and gets the same check.

line 517:
Add regression coverage at the lowest testable layer for the composer offset
condition in ThreadDetailScreen: verify that a visible keyboard with height 0
yields offset 0, while a visible keyboard with positive height or a hidden
keyboard yields composerBottomInset. Extend existing coverage where possible.

the verification rule requires evidence of the changed behavior. both edits specifically handle a visible keyboard with zero height, but the evidence section says the reporter's zero-height keyboard case and the discussion reply bar are not shown. ordinary soft-keyboard recordings do not establish this fix. reproduce the tablet taskbar failure with the reported keyboard state, attach matched before/after evidence and a short interaction recording, and report the reply-bar check or its limits. #21684 preserves the useful hardware-keyboard report; its maintainer notes leave that case unverified after #19980. this is an unexecuted dry-run closure draft.
Verified on Android emulator (API 35) against a real dev server
partial verification at 5bb2500a9f28cb1c119f061d59267ee2d368c172, using the native development client installed from the shared cache, metro, and an isolated local backend. the emulator ran with hardware keyboard support, a 2560x1600 tablet display, and the persistent three-button taskbar.
a real project and thread were created by the server/app. a real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turn completed with "android verification ready." a second send from above the software keyboard started another real turn. the thread composer stayed above the software keyboard, and its attachment picker opened. the existing discussion on this pr opened through the backend; its reply draft remained editable and its reply button visible with the taskbar and with the software keyboard. no discussion reply was submitted.
the matched discussion captures below show the same draft before and after opening the software keyboard on the pr head. these are interaction states, not base-versus-fix proof.
Not verified
the actual fix remains unverified: this emulator did not reproduce a visible keyboard with zero height. with gboard and the software keyboard disabled for the hardware keyboard, native keyboard-controller logs reported 48 dp, rather than zero. the automation helper's IME reported no visible input view, so that also does not establish the required state. the reporter's lenovo desktop/taskbar clipping and a failing-base/passing-head comparison have not been reproduced. these ordinary-path checks do not prove either new zero-height guard.
ios cannot run on this linux host. no code changes or pushes were made. existing head checks show 33 successful, 0 failing, and 0 pending; no new static checks were run for this runtime-only verification.
