Problem

The model handoff chip appeared on every model change, so a switch from Claude Opus 5 to Claude Fable 5.1 drew a "Claude → Claude" chip. On iOS the chip was a plain text row instead of the desktop logo → arrow → logo divider. The iOS chat-info and PR badges took a fixed 44pt of thread height. On the iOS new-chat screen the composer squeezed the header into a tiny scroll area, the lane picker popover clipped, and its text was 10 to 11pt.

Cause

The handoff condition compared model ids as well as providers. The badge row was a child of the composer stack. The new-chat header ScrollView had no layout priority and the lane menu was a UIKit popover anchored inside it.

Change and boundary

  • Desktop emits model_handoff only when the top-level provider group changes. Aggregators such as OpenCode, Cursor, and Droid collapse to one group, so vendor swaps inside them do not emit. The broader modelChanged flag still drives runtime teardown and title re-adoption.
  • Desktop renderer and the TUI skip a same-provider handoff row from older transcripts. No history migration.
  • iOS renders the handoff as a logo → HANDOFF → arrow → logo divider via AgentChatNoticeKind.modelHandoff.
  • iOS chat-info and PR badges float over the transcript with a tail reserve and a small scrim. The jump-to-latest pill stacks above them.
  • iOS new-chat: the lane picker is pinned, the header collapses in tiers from measured height with hysteresis, the usage carousel stays mounted while collapsed, and the lane menu is a sheet with 16pt rows and 44pt tap targets. Composer focus is restored after the sheet dismisses.
  • No shared type, IPC, sync schema, or SDK surface changed.

Verification

  • Desktop vitest: agentChatService.test.ts and AgentChatMessageList.test.tsx, 1237 passed. Desktop typecheck clean.
  • ADE CLI: format.test.ts 72 passed. CLI typecheck clean.
  • iOS: build-for-testing clean on the iPhone 17 Pro simulator. Handoff, header tier, and card expansion tests, 34 passed.
  • Quality: two review passes, 13 findings fixed, gate empty. Post-rebase merge-region review clean.

… lane picker

Emit the model handoff event only when the top-level ADE provider group
changes. A model change inside one provider (Claude Opus -> Claude Fable,
or two vendors inside OpenCode) no longer creates a chip.

iOS: render the handoff as logo -> arrow -> logo, the same as desktop.
Float the chat-info and PR badges over the transcript so the thread
scrolls behind them. Pin the lane picker on the new-chat screen, collapse
the header in tiers as the composer grows, and present the lane menu as a
sheet with larger text.

…hanges

Restore composer focus after the lane sheet fully dismisses. Keep the usage
carousel mounted while collapsed so it does not refetch. Move the handoff
notice kind into AgentChatNoticeKind. Pass providers to the handoff divider
directly. Consolidate the floating badge band heights. Hide same-provider
handoff rows on desktop and the TUI as well.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add a TUI test for the same-provider handoff skip and iOS tests for the
new-chat header tier thresholds and hysteresis. Raise lane sheet rows to a
44pt tap target. Update the chat, ADE Code, and iOS companion docs.

Drop two vacuous assertions from the TUI handoff test.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change suppresses same-provider model handoffs across desktop, TUI, and iOS. It adds iOS handoff rendering, moves transcript badges into a floating overlay, and updates lane selection and responsive new-chat header behavior.

Changes

Chat handoff handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handoff detection and client rendering
apps/desktop/src/main/services/chat/..., apps/desktop/src/renderer/components/chat/..., apps/ade-cli/src/tuiClient/...
Desktop emits handoffs only when the provider changes. Desktop and TUI omit same-provider handoffs. Tests cover model-only switches and same-provider events.
iOS handoff data and rendering
apps/ios/ADE/Models/..., apps/ios/ADE/Views/Work/..., apps/ios/ADETests/...
iOS uses a dedicated handoff notice kind and provider metadata. Live and replayed events use the same shape. Cross-provider events render dividers, while same-provider events are omitted.

iOS workspace layout

Layer / File(s) Summary
Floating transcript badge layout
apps/ios/ADE/Views/Work/WorkChatSessionView.swift
Chat-info and PR badges float over the transcript. The transcript reserves badge space, applies a scrim, and places the jump-to-latest control above them.
Responsive new-chat and lane selection
apps/ios/ADE/Views/Work/WorkNewChatScreen.swift, apps/ios/ADE/Views/Work/WorkLanePickerDropdown.swift, apps/ios/ADE/Views/Work/WorkPreviews.swift, apps/ios/ADETests/ADETests.swift
New-chat header tiers collapse based on height with hysteresis. Composer focus is preserved during lane-sheet presentation. The lane picker uses a resizable sheet with larger controls and a new preview.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 04fae

This change hides same-provider handoff notices and updates chat UI behavior. It is otherwise ready, but provider-identifier normalization should be confirmed to avoid incorrectly showing or suppressing handoff dividers.

In `@apps/desktop/src/renderer/components/chat/AgentChatMessageList.tsx`:
- Line 2436: Filter out same-provider handoff events before
groupChatTranscriptRows and virtualization, alongside the existing automatic
context-usage filtering. Remove the fromProvider === toProvider early return
from the row rendering path so EventRow and MeasuredEventRow are not mounted and
no layout gap remains.

In `@apps/ios/ADE/Views/Work/WorkModels.swift`:
- Around line 275-276: Update the detail parsing around the split call to remove
maxSplits: 1, so every pipe is treated as a separator and the existing
parts.count == 2 guard rejects details containing more than one pipe.

In `@apps/ios/ADE/Views/Work/WorkTimelineHelpers.swift`:
- Around line 3268-3269: Update the provider comparison in the handoff filtering
guard around workModelHandoffProviders to canonicalize both provider IDs using
the same normalization as workChatSurfaceProviderName before checking whether
they differ. Preserve filtering of genuinely different providers and add
coverage for aliases and casing variants such as anthropic/claude and
openai/codex.

Filter same-provider handoff events out of the desktop transcript rows next
to the automatic context-usage filter, so no empty row or gap is mounted.
On iOS, reject a handoff detail with more than one pipe.
