Poem
Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Markdown references now support line navigation and directory reveal, but files opened at a referenced line may be difficult to edit because navigation can reset after content changes. Some malformed whitespace references and sibling-path directory reveals may also behave incorrectly, so these issues should be resolved before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Normalize fileRef before stripping the suffix.
lineFromRef trims its input, but stripLineSuffix does not. If the fallback link text contains trailing whitespace, such as src/file.ts:12 , the code extracts line 12 but passes src/file.ts:12 to openFileInEditor. The resolver then receives an invalid path.
Use one trimmed value for both operations.
Proposed fix
- openFileInEditor(stripLineSuffix(fileRef), lineFromRef(fileRef));
+ const normalizedRef = fileRef.trim();
+ openFileInEditor(stripLineSuffix(normalizedRef), lineFromRef(normalizedRef));📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Apply line navigation only once per file-open request.
content changes on every CodeMirror onChange. Because content is an effect dependency, each edit dispatches the selection back to gotoLine and scrolls the editor again. Files opened through path:line therefore move the caret back after every edit. Track whether the current file-and-line request was handled, and reset that marker only for a new request.

Resolve relative directory references before the root check
Markdown sends src/components/ unchanged to openDirectory. MainContent passes it to FileTree, while the file-tree API uses absolute paths such as /workspace/project/src. The target.startsWith(root) guard therefore returns before expanding ancestors. Resolve relative revealDirectory values against selectedProject.path before applying the boundary check.

Use a directory-boundary check.
target.startsWith(root) accepts sibling paths such as /workspace/apple/docs when the project root is /workspace/app. The effect then treats the out-of-root reference as a project directory and calls expandDirectories.
Accept only target === root or a target that starts with the root followed by /. Preserve the root-path special case.

Clicking a file reference in a chat message resolves through `openFileInEditor`, and four cases did not do what the reference said: - A `path:line` reference dropped the line: `stripLineSuffix` removed it before opening, so the editor always landed on line 1. The line now travels to the editor, which reveals and selects it. It is tracked as state (not a ref) because the CodeMirror view is created after the first render and a ref never re-runs the effect once it lands. - A directory reference was read as text, so the pane showed `EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read` behind a 500. A reference ending in `/` now opens the file tree with that folder's ancestors expanded, and the API maps EISDIR to a 400 with a real message. - A file outside the project root is refused by `resolvePathInsideProject` (by design), but the editor swallowed the reason and printed `Failed to load file: 403 Forbidden`. The pane now shows the API's own message: "Path must be under project root". - An absolute path was rewritten by `findBestMatch`: asking for `/home/user/.config/CLAUDE.md` opened the project's own `CLAUDE.md`, a different file, with no error and indistinguishable from the right one. An absolute path already names one exact file, so it now skips the tree match entirely — which also fixes gitignored files, absent from the tree, opening their homonym elsewhere in the project. Partial references (`foo.ts`, `utils/foo.ts`), what the matcher was written for, are untouched. Verified end to end against a scratch instance with a fabricated session: `largo.md:150` opens with line 150 selected, `decisions/` reveals the folder in the tree with no failing request, and both error cases print the explanation instead of a raw status. The absolute-path case is covered by a new client test that fails without the fix. Client suite 380/380; server suite unchanged at 394 (the two failures also occur on a clean checkout — `provider.routes.test.ts` and `chat-edit-send.test.ts`, both pass in isolation).

Updated: rebased onto current 4. An absolute path could open a different file
An absolute path already names one exact file, so it now skips the tree match. Two things worth noting:
Windows paths are counted as absolute too ( I deliberately did not implement "try the absolute path first, fall back to matching if it does not exist": every read endpoint goes through Covered by a new client test ( |

Clicking a file reference in a chat message goes through
openFileInEditor, and three cases did not do what the reference said. All three are reproducible onv1.37.2with a plain project.1.
path:lineignored the linestripLineSuffix()removes the suffix before opening, sosrc/foo.ts:130always landed on line 1 — the reference says where to look and the editor did not go there.The line now travels to the editor, which selects it and scrolls it into view. One detail worth flagging for review: the CodeMirror view is created after the first render, so the jump is driven by the view held in state (
onCreateEditor) rather than a ref — with a ref the effect never re-runs once the view lands, and the jump silently does nothing.2. A directory reference showed a 500
decisions/was read as text, so the editor pane printed:with

Now a reference ending in/opens the file tree with that folder's ancestors expanded (newopenDirectoryop), andreadTextFilemapsEISDIRto a 400 with a real message for any other path that turns out to be a directory.3. Errors from the API were replaced by the raw status
useCodeEditorDocumentthrewFailed to load file: ${status} ${statusText}, discarding the body. A file outside the project root — refused byresolvePathInsideProject, by design — showed up as an opaque403 Forbidden. The pane now shows the API's own message:Path must be under project root.Verification
