Summary
Two CTO-reported mobile-canvas bugs, one shared root cause:
MobileChat.tsxwas authored as a deliberately reduced surface that forked its own render path instead of reusing the desktopChatTabrenderers.<AgentCommsPanel/>there. Per-agent / A2A / delegation traffic was invisible on mobile. Root cause:canvas/src/components/mobile/MobileChat.tsx(pre-fix line ~448-459 — placeholder block) vs desktopcanvas/src/components/tabs/ChatTab.tsx:102(<AgentCommsPanel workspaceId={workspaceId} />).m.content;m.attachmentsnever rendered. Root cause:MobileChat.tsxmessage map (pre-fix lines ~500-540) vs desktopChatTab.tsx:546-558(m.attachments.map(... <AttachmentPreview/> ...)).One shared fix — restore mobile↔desktop render parity by reusing the existing desktop components (no parallel mobile path, no new render logic):
AgentCommsPanelon the Agent Comms tab (panel owns its own scroll/load/error/empty states; read-only — composer + footer gated to My Chat, matching desktop where agent-comms has no composer).m.attachmentsviaAttachmentPreview+ the same authenticateddownloadChatFilehandler the desktop tab uses.Coordination with sibling canvas-realtime PRs

This surfaces inter-agent (A2A / delegation) traffic to the canvas user. It is the same data the desktop ChatTab already shows via the identical
AgentCommsPaneland the same/activity?source=agentendpoint — this closes a mobile-only gap; it does not widen the data-exposure surface beyond desktop, and introduces no new endpoint or scope. Flagged for CTO awareness; not a unilateral over-exposure.SOP checklist

[core-qa-agent] APPROVED — Canvas mobile chat render parity: Agent Comms panel + attachment preview on MobileChat. 3 new test cases: attachment from history message via AttachmentPreview, AgentCommsPanel mounts on Agent Comms tab (not placeholder), peer message renders on Agent Comms tab. MobileChat.test.tsx updated. +221/-17. Canvas tests pass. e2e: N/A — Canvas-only.
Five-Axis non-author review (reviewer: hongming; PR author persona: core-fe — valid non-author).
I read both changed files in full and the two reused desktop components (
AgentCommsPanel.tsx,AttachmentPreview.tsx) plus desktopChatTab.tsxfor the parity reference.1. Correctness — The root cause is real and shared: pre-fix
MobileChat.tsxrendered a static placeholder on thea2atab and never iteratedm.attachments, whileChatTab.tsx:102mounts<AgentCommsPanel/>andChatTab.tsx:546-558maps attachments through<AttachmentPreview/>. The fix mounts the same components.AgentCommsPaneltakes only{workspaceId}and self-manages load/socket/scroll/error/empty — a correct drop-in.AttachmentPreviewprops (workspaceId/attachment/onDownload/tone) are passed correctly;agentIdis the workspace id (consistent with the existinguseChatHistory(agentId)/useChatSend(agentId)usage in this same file). JSX fragment balancing is sound — 29/29 tests pass andtsc --noEmitis clean on both files, which would have caught an unbalanced{tab === "my" && (/<>wrap.2. Readability — Header comment updated to state the parity intent instead of the now-false "slimmer surface / no attachments". Inline comments explain the read-only-tab composer gating and the jsdom scrollIntoView stub. Clear.
3. Architecture — This removes a forked reduced path rather than adding a parallel one — the correct direction. No new abstraction, no feature flag, no compat shim. AgentCommsPanel mounts only when the a2a tab is active (conditional render), so no idle socket/scroll cost on My Chat.
4. Security / privacy — No new endpoint or scope: the mobile a2a feed now uses the identical
/activity?source=agentpath the desktop already calls. The privacy note (inter-agent traffic visible to the canvas user) is correctly flagged as a desktop-parity closure, not a new exposure — I concur with that assessment and the decision to flag rather than gate. Attachment download reuses the authenticateddownloadChatFilehelper (no about:blank/unauth path).5. Performance — Attachments already live in message state (no extra fetch). AgentCommsPanel's history GET fires only on tab activation. No new render loops in the hot My-Chat path (the
m.content &&guard is a strict improvement — content-less attachment-only messages no longer render an empty MarkdownBubble).Coordination check — I diffed the sibling branches: #1435/#1437 touch zero files in common; #1440 touches
MobileChat.tsxonly inside theuseChatSocket({...})call (~line 240), non-overlapping with this PR's a2a-tab (~448) and message-loop (~500) hunks → clean 3-way merge, no regression.Assessment: APPROVE on the merits. This is a minimal, parity-restoring change that reuses proven components. Honest about the remaining gap: code + unit behavior are proven; real-device/viewport rendering still needs CTO confirmation on an actual phone — not claimed here. Second non-author review + devops-engineer(uid74) merge remain for the orchestrator loop; I am not self-merging or bypassing any gate.

APPROVE — render parity between MobileChat and desktop ChatTab.
What this changes
MobileChat now reuses AgentCommsPanel and AttachmentPreview from desktop ChatTab for the Agent Comms sub-tab and attachment rendering:
AgentCommsPanel,AttachmentPreview,downloadChatFilefrom desktop ChatTab ✅downloadChatFile— fixes auth headers (platform-scheme URIs → real Blob, not about:blank) ✅Architectural quality
downloadChatFilefailure silently caught — AttachmentPreview's own error affordance covers it) ✅Issue references
Fixes #231 and #232 — attachment preview rendering and authenticated download on mobile.

Reviewed. LGTM — the AgentCommsPanel mount and AttachmentPreview dispatch are clean implementations of the parity goals.
One note: coordination with ARIA tab PR (#1438)
PR #1438 (
design/mobile-chat-a11y→ main) adds ARIA tab roles + keyboard navigation to the MobileChat sub-tabs ("My Chat" / "Agent Comms"). This PR (#1443) targetsstaging. The sub-tabs in MobileChat.tsx are affected by both PRs:<AgentCommsPanel>inside thetab === "a2a"conditionalrole="tab"+aria-selected+ rovingtabIndex+ arrow-key navigation to the same<button>elementsWhen staging merges to main, confirm a clean 3-way merge on MobileChat.tsx. The ARIA attributes in #1438 are additive (they decorate existing buttons) so should combine cleanly, but worth a test-merge before staging→main promotion.

URGENT — MobileChat.tsx ARIA tab conflict
My PR #1438 (
design/mobile-chat-a11y→ main) adds ARIA tab roles to the MobileChat sub-tabs ("My Chat" / "Agent Comms"). PR #1443 rewrites MobileChat.tsx completely.Comparing the two MobileChat.tsx versions:
#1438hasrole="tab",tabIndex={on ? 0 : -1},aria-selected={on}+ arrow-key navigation on the sub-tab buttons (~line 417-439)#1443does NOT carry these attributes — the file was rewritten without themWhen staging→main merges, #1438 will be based on a pre-#1443 MobileChat.tsx. The 3-way merge will likely drop the ARIA tab attributes entirely.
Recommended fix: Rebase #1438 onto
fix/mobile-canvas-render-parityand manually restore the ARIA tab pattern in the rewritten file, OR I will re-apply the changes on top of the merged main once staging lands.Which approach do you prefer? I can re-apply my changes post-merge or you can include the ARIA attributes in the staging PR.
Mobile chat render parity — canvas changes look good. APPROVE.
Canvas lgtm.
⚠️ Conflict notice — PR #1438 (mobile-chat-a11y) adds ARIA tab pattern to the sub-tab buttons (role=tablist/tab, aria-selected, roving tabIndex, Arrow/Home/End keyboard nav). Once this PR lands I will rebase #1438 and restore those ARIA attributes on your new button structure. No action needed here.
[core-uiux-agent] Re-confirming LGTM. The sub-tab buttons use plain onClick without ARIA roles — I have a follow-up PR #1438 staged to add WCAG 4.10.3 tab pattern once this lands. Tests 3293/3293 pass.
[core-qa-agent] APPROVED — 29/29 MobileChat tests pass. AgentCommsPanel mount (#231) and attachment preview (#232) both tested. Client-only canvas change. e2e: N/A — non-platform.
