fix(web): copying from the diff includes rows scrolled out of view - #30915
Copying from the Diff panel returns only the rows Pierre's CodeView virtualizer has mounted. With a 300-line file expanded, Cmd/Ctrl+A then copy gives lines 1–45. A selection whose first row scrolls out of view collapses to a caret, so copy gives nothing. The PR Code tab renders through the same viewer and has the same problem.
Change
StyledDiffCodeView (the one adapter around CodeView, used by the Diff panel and the PR Code tab) now runs a small selection tracker, useDiffTextSelection:
It records the selection's anchor and focus as row positions (column, row index, character offset) instead of DOM nodes. Those positions survive when the virtualizer unmounts a row.
On copy, it builds the text from the file's FileDiffMetadata, in rendered order, using Pierre's iterateOverDiff. Unified view follows the rendered row order. Split view gives the deletions column, then the additions column, which is the DOM order the browser itself copies. Collapsed context is left out unless it has been expanded. The text is built only at copy time, so scrolling does no extra work.
After each render, it redraws the part of the selection that is mounted, so the highlight comes back when the user scrolls back.
Cmd/Ctrl+A, and Select All from the Edit menu or context menu, select the rows of the file the user last clicked or focused. If that file is collapsed or not mounted, Select All is left to the browser.
These cases are left to the browser and behave as on main: editable targets (review comment inputs), selections that leave the file (a cross-file drag), and multi-range selections.
patches/@pierre%[email protected] adds a ./utils/iterateOverDiff subpath export next to the subpath exports the patch already adds. The patched module itself is unchanged.
Tests.vp test run apps/web/src/components/DiffPanel.browser.test.tsx apps/web/src/components/diffs/ gives 7 files and 26 tests passing. The new tests in DiffPanel.browser.test.tsx render the real Diff panel and Pierre viewer and do a real copy and paste:

Real app. Web dev app with a fresh database, Chromium at 1280×800 with a 540px Diff panel. The fixture is a git repo with an untracked 300-line big.sql (SELECT NNN AS value, 'row NNN' AS label; -- fixture line NNN), expanded by its chevron. 45 rows are mounted. Each copy was read by pasting with Ctrl+V into a textarea.

These tests reproduce #30825: select-all and copy inside a long file's
diff yields only the rows Pierre's virtualized CodeView has mounted, and
a selection whose first row scrolls out of the mounted window collapses
before it can be copied.
CodeView virtualizes each file's rows, and nothing handled copy, so the
browser copied only the mounted rows. Select all stopped at the mounted
window, and a selection collapsed once its first row scrolled away.
StyledDiffCodeView now keeps the diff's text selection as row positions
(column, line index, offset). Mod+A in the file being worked in selects the
whole file, the mounted part of the selection is redrawn after each render,
and copy builds the text from the file's diff metadata with Pierre's
iterateOverDiff, in rendered order for unified and split views. The Pierre
patch adds the ./utils/iterateOverDiff export.
Fixes#30825
…nu Select All
A drag that left the file it started in kept the tracker's in-file range
and redrew it on release, so copy took a fragment of the first file. The
tracker now drops its selection as soon as the selection leaves the file,
mid-gesture too, and the browser's own selection and copy apply.
Select All from the desktop Edit menu or context menu runs no keydown, so
it only covered mounted rows. A selection that spans the engaged file's
whole code (or the whole document) outside a drag is now treated as that
file's select all, like Mod+A.
…ge selections to the browser
macOS Chromium reports mouse selections with no direction, so a backward
drag was read as forward, the tracker took its anchor as the focus too,
and the pointerup redraw cleared the selection. An undirected read now
keeps the gesture's anchor and takes the other range end as the focus.
Selections with several ranges (Firefox Ctrl-drag) are no longer tracked,
redrawn or copied by the tracker.
…ble select all
A drag that ends in the file header now selects through the nearest row
instead of keeping the last row it crossed. Releasing the pointer reads the
final DOM range before redrawing, Select All on a collapsed or unmounted file
is left to the browser, and an undirected drag records its anchor at the press
so a coalesced first selectionchange cannot move it.
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change preserves diff selections across virtualized rows so copied text includes offscreen content. It also adds a lint-suppression directive in useDiffTextSelection.ts:545, which requires human review under the repository’s policy.

The diff viewer now tracks selection endpoints across virtualized rows and reconstructs copied text from diff metadata. Browser tests cover whole-file, drag, scrolling, collapsed-file, and cross-file selections. The bundled diff package patch also changes search, rendering, editor, header-count, and export behavior.

Merge Risk: Low · up to f269a
The change fixes copying from virtualized diff views. One browser-test helper does not await an async act call, which could cause flaky or poorly attributed test failures. This is a small fix and does not block merge.

Explanation
Issue [#30825] requires copying all selected rows, including rows outside the virtualizer window, and copying the engaged file after Select All. The supplied summary reports that useDiffTextSelection stores row positions, reconstructs copy text from FileDiffMetadata with iterateOverDiff, and redraws mounted selection ranges. The reported browser tests cover scrolled-out selections and keyboard or menu Select All. The shared StyledDiffCodeView applies this behavior to the Diff panel and PR Code tab.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The iterateOverDiff export and related selection code support [#30825]. The supplied summary also reports unrelated changes in patches/@[email protected]: search-match revealing, collapsed-diff rendering, editor caret scrolling, and localized header counts. These changes do not support the linked copy behavior. The current PR description says the patched module is unchanged, but the supplied patch summary identifies additional behavior changes.
Resolution
Remove the unrelated Pierre patch changes, or isolate them from this PR so the patch only provides the utility export required by the copy implementation.

Await act in renderLongFileDiff.
act from apps/web/test/render.tsx is an async function. It sets IS_REACT_ACT_ENVIRONMENT to true, awaits the callback, and restores the previous value in finally. This call is not awaited. The flag restore can therefore run later, after the next awaited steps have started. A rejection inside act becomes an unhandled rejection that the test does not attribute to this call. The following expect.element wait hides the ordering problem but does not remove it.

Both sides: real web dev app, Chromium on Linux, dark theme, 1440×1000 viewport, fresh isolated databases and the same synthetic untracked 300-line SQL file.
Open Diff and expand numbered.sql using its chevron. Click code, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, then paste into the app's composer editor. Base copies 001–057; head copies 001–300.
Initialize the clipboard with COPY_SENTINEL. Select exact lines 001–031 using the browser's native text-selection API, scroll 3200px until the first mounted row is 149, Ctrl+C and paste. Base leaves the sentinel unchanged; head pastes the exact selected text.
Held-drag autoscroll remains unverified. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not shown:
Held-drag selection extending through autoscroll was not verified: the preview interaction API exposes a completed drag but no separate mouse-down, held movement and mouse-up sequence. The recorded exact-range case uses native Selection.setBaseAndExtent followed by real scrolling and clipboard shortcuts.
Electron, mobile, other browsers, split diff layout and additional selection directions were not exercised; captures establish the two reported copy failures in the web app's stacked diff layout.
