Refresh on /files/...?view=x.m4a came back with the query string intact and no
viewer, and then double-clicking the file did nothing at all. Two symptoms, one
cause, and the second is what made it read as a click bug.
WorkspaceView gave the pane defaultSize={0} and opened it from an effect calling
panel.resize(), so open/closed was expressed twice — the markup said closed and
the effect was meant to correct it. A correction step can be missed, and this one
was: on a deep link isEphemeralOpen is true on the first render, but
workspace.isLoaded is false until /dashboards answers and the early return means
nothing is rendered, so the effect ran against a null ref and returned. Its deps
were [isEphemeralOpen, defaultBaseSize] — one already true, the other a constant
— so it never ran again. URL open, pane at zero width.
Then the inert double-click follows for free: ?view= already held that name, so
setSearchParams changed nothing, so there was no transition for the effect to
react to. The URL being already correct is exactly why the click had nothing to
say.
Now the pane is rendered conditionally with id + order — the same pair
WorkspaceRenderer already uses — and both panels take declarative sizes. There is
no moment where markup and intent disagree, and a deep link is right on first
paint rather than corrected after it. The try/catch that guarded resizing an
unlaid-out group goes with it; nothing calls resize now.
ephemeral-pane.test.tsx asserts the SIZE the group computes, not that the element
exists — a pane at zero width satisfies any is-it-in-the-document check, which is
the failure being guarded against. Five of its six tests fail against the old
implementation, including the load-order one. Full suite: 1316 pass.
