Summary

Test plan

  • swift test --package-path apps/ios --filter testTextLimitsMatchSharedCapsAndRefuseSilentOverflow
  • python3 scripts/check_cross_platform.py
  • Android unit/UI check — JDK unavailable locally; matching CoreTest added
  • Manual: type toward the limit in typed reply and history correction; confirm the field stops accepting and the counter matches

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added visible character counters for typed replies and passage corrections.
    • Standardized limits across Android and iOS: 2,000 characters for typed replies and 10,000 for corrections.
    • Prevented sending or saving when text exceeds the applicable limit or is blank after trimming.
    • Long text is automatically constrained to the supported limit.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved consistency of text-length handling across conversations, corrections, and storage.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Android and iOS clients now share typed-reply and correction limits. Text fields clamp input, display character counts, and validate send or save actions. Conversation and storage paths use the same clamping helpers.

Android input fields use shared clamping helpers and character counters. Send and save controls validate the shared limits. View-model submission paths use the same helpers.

iOS input fields use shared clamping helpers and character counters. Send and save controls validate the shared limits. Conversation and storage paths receive bounded text.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a6e82

Emoji-heavy text receives inconsistent limits across platforms, while pasted overflow can still be discarded without warning. These learner-facing regressions should be fixed before merge.

Use the same character unit on both platforms.

Android applies these limits in UTF-16 code units. iOS applies them in user-perceived characters. For example, 2,000 😀 characters are accepted on iOS but Android reports overflow and keeps only 1,000. An odd UTF-16 boundary can also retain an unpaired surrogate.

Use grapheme-cluster counting and truncation on Android, or change both platforms to one explicitly shared unit. Add boundary tests with emoji and combining characters.

This conflicts with the cross-platform consistency objective.

Replace silent clamping with visible overflow validation.

Clamping in the UI discards pasted suffixes before the overflow checks run. Clamping again in send and storage paths also discards non-UI input without a validation result. This conflicts with the objective to avoid silent loss of learner-entered text.

  • apps/android/app/src/main/java/chat/mural/ui/TalkScreen.kt#L323-L323,L327-L328: retain an overflow state or entered value, show the overflow, and disable sending until it is resolved.
  • apps/android/app/src/main/java/chat/mural/ui/SettingsScreen.kt#L384-L385,L390-L392: retain an overflow state or entered value, show the overflow, and disable saving until it is resolved.
  • apps/android/app/src/main/java/chat/mural/MuralViewModel.kt#L930-L930,L1026-L1026: reject over-limit values instead of silently clamping them at send and save boundaries.
  • apps/ios/App/Storage.swift#L66-L66: reject over-limit correction text or accept only a caller-validated bounded value.
  • apps/ios/Tests/LearningTests.swift#L10-L10,L13-L13: assert explicit overflow handling rather than truncation.

Move the 2,000 / 10,000 character caps into Core TextLimits on both
platforms, clamp input in the UI with a counter, and stop silently
cutting learner text on send or save.
