Summary

  • Add a middlePanel prop on ContentPreview that renders between the current viewer and the sidebar inside .bcpr-body.
  • Add disableVersionChangeReload so hosts can keep the current viewer mounted (page, scroll, zoom, annotations) when selectedVersion changes.
  • Existing single-pane preview is unchanged when these props are omitted.

Test plan

  • Confirm default ContentPreview (no new props) still renders viewer + sidebar as before.
  • Pass middlePanel and confirm it appears between .bcpr-container and the sidebar, with the viewer sharing row space.
  • With disableVersionChangeReload, change selectedVersion and confirm the current viewer does not reload.
  • With the prop omitted, changing selectedVersion still reloads the viewer as today.
  • Unit tests: src/elements/content-preview/__tests__/ContentPreview.test.js

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Renamed the optional middle panel to the compared panel.
    • Improved the content preview layout so the viewer and compared panel share available space.
  • Changes

    • Left/right navigation is now unavailable when a compared panel is displayed.
    • Keyboard arrow navigation is also disabled in this view.
    • Content previews now follow the standard reload behavior when switching versions.

Allow hosts to inject a compared pane between the viewer and sidebar
without remounting the current viewer when the selected version changes.

Walkthrough

ContentPreview renames middlePanel to comparedPanel, disables directional navigation in compared-panel mode, updates the panel layout, and removes selected-version reload suppression.

Changes

Content preview extensions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Version-change reload behavior
src/elements/content-preview/ContentPreview.js, src/elements/content-preview/__tests__/ContentPreview.test.js
Removes disableVersionChangeReload and its default. Selected-version changes now follow the existing preview loading logic. Related suppression tests are removed.
Compared-panel rendering and navigation
src/elements/content-preview/ContentPreview.js, src/elements/content-preview/ContentPreview.scss, src/elements/content-preview/__tests__/ContentPreview.test.js
Renames middlePanel to comparedPanel. Compared-panel mode disables directional navigation, hides PreviewNavigation, applies the bcpr-body--with-compared-panel class, and gives the viewer container flexible 50% width. Tests cover layout, visibility, and navigation suppression.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 57d38

The optional middle panel may not receive flex sizing, so some host-provided content could fail to share row space with the viewer and overflow. This is a bounded merge risk requiring owner awareness or follow-up.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Give the injected panel a flex rule.

This selector styles only .bcpr-container. src/elements/content-preview/ContentPreview.js renders middlePanel as a separate direct child on Line 1823. That node keeps the default flex: 0 1 auto and min-width: auto. An arbitrary panel therefore does not share the available width equally with the viewer and can force horizontal overflow.

Wrap middlePanel in a dedicated .bcpr-middle-panel element. Style both direct flex children with flex: 1 1 50% and min-width: 0. Use a direct-child selector so nested .bcpr-container elements inside the panel are not restyled. Extend src/elements/content-preview/__tests__/ContentPreview.test.js to cover this layout contract.

+                                    </div>
--- src/elements/content-preview/ContentPreview.scss
-        &--with-middle-panel .bcpr-container {
-            flex: 1 1 50%;

When comparedPanel is passed, skip collection chevrons and arrow-key
file switching so comparison mode cannot change the current file.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Keep default version-change reloads on the current viewer. Comparison
uses comparedPanel instead of suppressing reload on this instance.
