feat(composer): choose when large pastes become text attachments - #35221
Pasted text only becomes a pasted-text.txt attachment at 32 KB. Anything smaller lands in the composer as text, and on a phone that is most of what I paste: a failing test log, a stack trace, a config file.
On mobile the composer stops growing at about four lines, so a 4.6 KB log takes it over completely. The prompt I typed scrolls out of view, and to reword it I have to scroll back through the log inside a four-line box, with the keyboard covering half the screen. I hit this daily driving T3 Code from my phone.
main: 4.6 KB paste stays inline
This PR at 1 KB: same paste
Both shots have the same prompt, "Why does this test fail?", typed before the paste. On the left it is gone from view.
Change
Adds one client setting, the size at which a paste becomes an attachment, with three presets: 1 KB, 5 KB, and 32 KB. 32 KB stays the default, so nothing changes for anyone who does not touch it.
What a lower threshold gives you:
The prompt stays visible and editable. The paste is one chip, not a wall of text between you and your own words.
The paste is easy to undo. Deleting the chip removes the whole paste. Deleting 4,600 inline characters on a phone keyboard is not practical.
Nothing is lost. The agent reads the same text from the attachment, and Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V still pastes inline when you want that.
It helps on web and desktop too, for the same logs and traces, though the phone is where it hurts.
How it is built:
Contract: a PastedTextAttachmentThreshold literal in the client settings and the settings patch. A stored value that is no longer a preset decodes to the default instead of failing the whole settings decode.
Shared logic:pastedTextDisposition() takes the threshold as a required argument in place of the hardcoded constant, so every call site has to pass it. The comparison itself is unchanged.
Web and desktop: a "Large paste threshold" select in Settings → Chat → Composer, with reset, settings search, and restore-defaults.
Mobile: a device-local preference, like the follow-up behavior next to it, on Settings → Chat. The native editors already took the threshold as a prop, so Swift and Kotlin are untouched.
Docs: the large-paste paragraph in docs/user/composer.md points to the setting.
These are one change: the setting is useless without the contract field, and it has to exist on each client that has a composer.
Scope
This replaces #21490, which was closed for age with a note to open a fresh PR from current main if the change still matters: #21490 (comment). It still matters to me, for the reason above.
I am not going to call this a bug fix. It adds a setting, and by the current rules that is a feature. It is a small one: it makes an existing behavior, the paste folding from #11442, start earlier for people who ask for it, and changes nothing else. The original request is Ideas discussion #21489, which has no maintainer reply. If a setting is not something you want here, close this and I will leave it at the discussion.
Verification
All of this is on head a22f040b80, one commit on main at f419698aea.
iOS, iPhone 18 Pro simulator, iOS 27.0, isolated dev server. With a 4,600-byte test log: inline at 32 KB, inline at 5 KB, pasted-text.txt at 1 KB. At 1 KB a 500-character paste stays inline. With the chip present the send button is the normal send arrow and the server logged the attachment upload. The choice survives an app relaunch. The two shots above are from this run, cropped to the same rectangle to leave out the machine name; nothing else is edited.
Web, real browser, through vp run scenarios:prove. A scenario that opens Settings → Chat and looks for the row fails on f419698aea and passes on a22f040b80. The shots below are its base and head captures. I did not commit the scenario, since no CI job runs scenarios and it only shows that a row exists.
Tests. Three cases: the fold boundary at each preset, the UTF-8 byte count at the 1 KB preset (360 CJK characters fold), and the decode fallback for a stored preset that is no longer offered, where the other settings survive.
vp run check:changed passes.
Not checked on this head: web paste folding in a browser. I checked it on the closed PR's last head, which has the same web code, with synthetic paste events: 1,500 characters folded at 1 KB and 500 stayed inline. Also not checked: Android on a device, which uses the same JS path and the existing native prop, and the desktop shell, which wraps the web client.

Model/harness: Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Fable 5.2 via Claude Code, run from T3 Code.
Pasted text only folds into a text-file attachment at 32 KiB, so everyday
logs, stack traces, and code blocks land in the composer as text. On a
phone that text fills the whole composer and the prompt around it is hard
to reach or edit.
Add a client setting with three presets (1 KB, 5 KB, and 32 KB, the default
and today's behavior) on web, desktop, and mobile. The shared paste
disposition and the native editors 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.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Adds configurable paste-to-attachment thresholds on web and mobile while preserving the existing default. Smaller thresholds are user-selected, and existing attachment limits and inline-paste safeguards remain in place.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
The change adds configurable pasted-text attachment thresholds of 1,000, 5,000, and 32,768 bytes. Mobile and web settings expose the choices. Mobile and web composers use the selected threshold to classify pasted text.
Changes: Pasted-text threshold feature

Summary
Threshold contract and classification packages/contracts/src/settings.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/textPaste.ts, packages/contracts/src/settings.test.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/textPaste.test.ts
Defines the allowed thresholds and default. Paste classification now uses the supplied threshold and checks character length and UTF-8 byte length. Tests cover threshold boundaries and fallback for an unrecognized stored value.
Settings and preference support apps/mobile/src/features/settings/SettingsFollowUpRouteScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/settings-search.ts, apps/mobile/src/persistence/mobile-preferences.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/SettingsPanels.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/settingsSearch.ts, docs/user/composer.md
Adds threshold controls and search entries for mobile and web. Mobile preference sanitization validates the saved threshold. Web settings include reset and restore-default behavior. The composer documentation describes threshold sizing and paste shortcuts.
Mobile composers obtain the threshold from the preference hook. Web passes the configured threshold to attachment intake, which supplies it to paste classification.
The change adds a configurable large-paste threshold on web and mobile with a safe default of 32 KB. No merge-blocking risk was found; the remaining note is a minor style point.

Explanation
The title follows conventional commit format and names the main change: a composer setting that lets users choose the size at which large pastes become text attachments. It matches the changeset, which adds the 1 KB, 5 KB, and 32 KB threshold setting across contracts, shared logic, web, mobile, and docs. It does not cover every detail, which is acceptable.

Explanation
The description follows the template's main sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. The Problem section explains the mobile composer issue with a concrete reproduction. The Change section covers the contract, shared logic, web and desktop, mobile, and docs. The Scope section links the replaced PR and the original discussion, and it explains why the change is a feature rather than a bug fix. The Verification section lists iOS, web, and unit test results and states what was not checked. The template's comment asks for a conventional commit title and reviewers may note the scope framing, but the description is mostly complete.

Move the width classes from the trigger to a parent element.
AGENTS.md requires layout classes (width, flex, margin, position) on the parent of a components/ui primitive. The new trigger at SettingsPanels.tsx:1253 passes w-auto min-w-0 max-w-full through className. Lint does not flag width classes on SelectTrigger, and the same file already uses width classes on triggers, so this is a convention issue, not a lint failure or a behavioral defect.
The primitive sets w-full min-w-36 (select.tsx:22). If the width moves to a parent, the parent must set the trigger's width. Keep size="sm" on the trigger.

In the SelectTrigger in SettingsPanels, move the width classes from className to a parent element and size that parent so the trigger retains the intended width despite the primitive’s w-full and min-w-36 defaults; keep size="sm" on the trigger.
