📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Preserved the current prompt input when new assistant messages arrive during streaming.
- Prevented unchanged prompt history from resetting the selected history position or temporary input.
- Reset prompt-history navigation and temporary input when switching between task and conversation history.
Tests
- Added regression coverage for restoring the latest prompt and original input after streamed assistant responses.
- Added coverage for resetting navigation state when the history source changes.

Walkthrough

The prompt history hook now tracks history source changes and skips state updates when filtered history is unchanged. Tests verify navigation reset when switching sources and current-input restoration after assistant output causes a rerender.

Changes

Prompt history preservation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Preserve prompt history navigation `webview-ui/src/components/chat/hooks/usePromptHistory.ts`, `webview-ui/src/components/chat/hooks/__tests__/usePromptHistory.spec.ts`, `webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatTextArea.spec.tsx`	The synchronization effect compares history contents and source before updating state. It resets navigation state when the source changes and preserves the history list when prompts remain identical. Tests cover source switching and restoring saved input after assistant output is appended.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 74f8e

In a task-history session, receiving the first assistant response while browsing prior prompts can discard the current draft instead of restoring it with Arrow Down. This is a narrow UI regression that should be corrected before merge if preserving drafts is required.

🟡 Minor · Keep assistant-only streams in the task-history source. · usePromptHistory.ts:41-89

webview-ui/src/components/chat/hooks/usePromptHistory.ts:41-89
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep assistant-only streams in the task-history source.

When clineMessages is empty, filteredPromptHistory uses task history. ArrowUp stores the current input in tempInput. If the first streamed message is assistant-only, historySource changes to "conversation", filteredPromptHistory becomes [], and the effect resets historyIndex and tempInput. ArrowDown then cannot restore the draft because promptHistory.length is zero.

Derive historySource from the selected prompt source, not from any clineMessages entry. Keep task history selected until a user_feedback prompt exists, then switch to conversation. Removing only historySourceChanged is insufficient because historyChanged also resets the state. Add coverage for empty initial clineMessages, task-history navigation, an assistant-only stream, and Arrow Down restoration.
