Conversation
#294 collapsed on the focus change itself, so a click passing THROUGH the panel on its way to the editor took it away under the pointer. The collapse now waits out a short dwell and is cancelled if focus returns. `SidebarDwell` follows `HoverDwell`: `now` is a parameter, so the timer tests without sleeping. The anchor is set when focus FIRST leaves and deliberately not re-stamped while it stays away — re-arming per frame would push the deadline out forever and the collapse would never fire. The pin interaction is the new work rather than a port. #294's one-shot exemption is consumed by "the next collapse attempt", which stops being a single event once arming and firing are separate moments. Consuming it at arm time would let an attempt the dwell CANCELS silently spend a deliberate reveal's protection, so it is consumed where the collapse actually happens. The tick also re-checks `sidebar_auto_hide_allowed()` at fire time, since every suppression can begin during the window. Written test-first: the three app tests failed against unmodified main on behavioural assertions (an earlier attempt failed on nine E0599s, which is not a valid red — the tests never ran), so they are written against the existing public surface and the timing assertions live in the timer's own unit tests. Five existing tests asserted the immediate collapse. Each protects a guarantee that still holds, so each keeps every assertion and gains the tick that now delivers the collapse; counted against origin/main, none lost an assertion.

…the collapse The one-shot pin a Cmd+B reveal banks was spent by `std::mem::take` before `sidebar_auto_hide_allowed()` was consulted, so any tick that declined for an unrelated reason burned it: a seam drag, an open palette, a modal, an Explorer drag. The suppression clears a moment later and the next collapse proceeds unpinned — the user's reveal loses its protection without ever having been honoured. Every EARLY decline already left the pin alone; only this late one spent it. Hoist the predicate above the take so a tick that will not collapse spends nothing, making the late decline behave like the early ones. The pin check inside `sidebar_auto_hide_allowed()` is removed rather than kept: with the hoist it would run while the pin is still set, make the predicate false, and return before the take — a self-sustaining pin that no collapse could ever spend. The pin is the caller's concern, and there is exactly one caller. Follow `toggle_side_bar`'s existing precedent for structural suppression: refuse to bank a pin under Zen Mode or a hidden activity bar, the same way it already refuses when auto-hide is off. That guard is the codebase's answer to "a pin that sits unconsumed and later eats a collapse", so the rule stays in one place rather than splitting across bank-time and spend-time. The two conditions cover different routes — Customize Layout hides the activity bar without touching Zen or the sidebar — and a negative control confirms the guard fails when either is removed.
…ferred `without_auto_hide` suppresses auto-hide for focus moves the user did not ask for — an async MCP result, a launch-time file open, Enter on a sidebar row — by setting `sidebar_auto_hide_suspended` for the duration of a closure. That worked because the collapse decision happened synchronously INSIDE the closure, where the flag is true. Deferring the collapse behind the #302 grace timer moved that decision to tick time, which runs from `main_loop` long after the closure restored the flag to false. So every programmatic focus move began collapsing the side bar ~400ms later: the flapping #260 exists to prevent, reintroduced by the fix for #302. Read the flag when ARMING instead — it is scoped to the closure, so there is nothing left to consult once the window elapses. The regression was invisible because the test covering it went vacuous without being edited. `auto_hide_yields_to_real_modal_overlays_and_explorer_drags` asserted `show_tree` immediately after the focus move, which deferral makes trivially true for any implementation, suppressed or not. Three more tests had the same shape. All four now tick past the delay, and each was verified to FAIL when the specific guard its assertion depends on is reverted — the drag case needed the `splitter_drag` suppression removed rather than the flag, and its teeth live at the tick assertion rather than the earlier `allowed()` one.
`tick_sidebar_auto_hide_at` disarmed the dwell before asking `sidebar_auto_hide_allowed()`, so a collapse blocked by a seam drag, an open palette or a modal was abandoned rather than deferred. Nothing re-arms the timer but a fresh focus move into the editor or terminal, so a user whose palette happened to be open when the grace window elapsed kept a side bar that never auto-hid again for the rest of the session. The comment three lines below already described the intended behaviour — "the pin survives to do its job a moment later" — which the disarm made impossible. Ask first, disarm only once a collapse is actually due. Retrying costs nothing: `main_loop` ticks on an 8ms cadence, so the collapse lands as soon as the suppression lifts. Two test fixes from the same review, both verified rather than assumed: `a_click_passing_through_the_sidebar_does_not_collapse_it` did not pin the `Pane::Tree` disarm it was written for — deleting that disarm left it passing, because the tick independently early-returns on `focus == Pane::Tree`. It now asserts `!sidebar_dwell.armed()` directly, which is the only observable that distinguishes "cancelled" from "declined for an unrelated reason". `leaving_the_sidebar_arms_a_collapse_rather_than_doing_it_immediately` sampled its reference instant AFTER the arm it measures from, so its deadline was later than the true anchor and its teeth held by microseconds and by accident. Sampled before the arm now. The new test earned its own red: `maybe_auto_hide_sidebar` stamps the anchor with its own `Instant::now()` rather than an injected clock, so a deadline computed from a timestamp taken microseconds earlier is never due and the tick declines as not-yet-due — indistinguishable from the suppression working. Both ticks now share one deadline past any real anchor, so the only difference between them is the palette.
… hand Deferring the collapse gave the dwell a lifetime, and neither `toggle_side_bar` nor `toggle_zen_mode` accounted for it: both change `show_tree` without touching the timer, so a pending collapse outlived the sidebar state it was armed against. Once a declined tick stays armed — the transient-suppression retry added in 95c46ec — that becomes user-visible. Focus moves to the editor and arms a collapse; a palette opens during the grace window so the tick declines and stays armed; the user closes it and then hides and re-reveals the sidebar with Cmd+B. The reveal banks its one-shot pin, and the very next idle frame tick finds the stale dwell due, spends the pin, and reports no collapse. The user never saw one. Their next move into the editor then takes the sidebar down — #294, reached by a different door, in the feature that exists to prevent it. Zen Mode is the same root cause with a longer fuse. The tick's "stay armed" comment justifies itself on the suppressions being transient, which holds for a drag, a palette or a modal but not for Zen or a hidden activity bar. Those can last a session, and a dwell left armed fires on the frame Zen exits. Disarm at both sites: a deliberate toggle supersedes a pending automatic one, and a structural suppression cancels rather than defers. Five disarm sites now where there were three. Both tests were verified to fail against the specific guard each depends on: the manual-reveal test at the pin-spending assertion with `toggle_side_bar` unpatched, the Zen test at its own final assertion with only the Zen disarm reverted.

The pin is taken by either reveal binding — tests.rs:31017 asserts "Ctrl+B pins exactly as Cmd+B does" — but the note named only Cmd+B, so a Linux or Windows user would not recognise the feature they have. Found by CodeRabbit's review of 2da866c.
…ning seams External review of effcb4e found the PR's central mechanism untested. Every one of the 23 app-level `tick_sidebar_auto_hide_at` call sites passed a deadline of AUTO_HIDE_DWELL or beyond — *2, *3, *5, *20, *1000 — and not one ticked INSIDE the window. So every app test passed against a zero-length delay, which is #294's immediate collapse delivered through a tick. Deleting the `due()` check left all of them green: the tests pinned the plumbing, not the feature. `a_collapse_does_not_fire_inside_the_grace_window` ticks at half a window and asserts no collapse, then past the window and asserts one. It stamps its reference instant BEFORE the arm, because `maybe_auto_hide_sidebar` anchors on its own `Instant::now()` and a later stamp can land outside the real window and decline as not-yet-due for the wrong reason. Verified by removing the `due()` check: it fails at the mid-window assertion, and it is the only app test that does. Two more instances of the class this PR keeps producing — state whose lifetime the deferral extended: `toggle_sidebar_auto_hide` never disarmed, so turning the feature off during the grace window and on again later let an idle tick collapse with no focus move of the user's own. Its own comment promises the opposite: turning it on "takes effect at the next focus move rather than retroactively yanking it away". `MenuAction::ToggleActivityBar` flips `activity_bar_visible` independently of Zen Mode and disarmed nothing, so a collapse armed while the bar was hidden sat armed — declining via `!activity_bar_visible` — and then fired on the first idle tick after the bar returned, spending any banked reveal pin on a collapse the user never saw. It now disarms and clears the pin, as Zen entry does. The comment claiming "the structural suppressions do not reach here at all" was false for exactly that reason and is corrected: structural suppressions are handled where they are ENTERED, by the sites that know the state changed.
…est it External review of 1b69b5c found `hiding_the_activity_bar_drops_a_pending_collapse_and_its_pin` could not fail against the hunk it names, masked twice over. First, `dispatch_menu_action` ends by opening the Customize Layout popup and `sidebar_auto_hide_allowed()` bails on `context_menu.is_some()`, so the tick declined before reaching anything under test. Second, the test's own banked pin absorbed the collapse, leaving `!fired` and `show_tree` both true while the pin was silently spent — which is exactly the failure the hunk prevents. Deleting the hunk left the suite green. Strengthening it exposed a real behaviour question the vacuous version hid: should a bar toggle spend the user's one-shot reveal exemption? It should not. A Cmd+B reveal is a separate deliberate act; cancelling the pending collapse is right, confiscating the exemption because the user also toggled the activity bar is not — it spends a pin on a collapse that never happened. The toggle now disarms and leaves the pin alone. The test asserts the dwell and the pin directly with the popup cleared, so neither mask can hide a regression. Verified by deleting the disarm: it fails at tests.rs:31517, its claim assertion.
External review of bb0a622 found a pin banked by Cmd+B surviving the entire period the activity bar is hidden, then silently exempting the next fresh deliberate focus move once the bar returns. No collapse can fire while the bar is hidden, so the pin is unconsumable for that whole span and is still banked when collapses become possible again. The decisive evidence was this PR contradicting itself. `toggle_side_bar` refuses to BANK a pin under a hidden bar, on the stated grounds that "a pin taken now sits unconsumed and silently eats a later collapse" — and the activity-bar toggle RETAINED one across exactly that state. Two hunks, one question, opposite answers; the bank-time answer is the right one. Resolved at the edge rather than by one rule for both directions: hiding the bar drops the pin, revealing it leaves any pin alone. A pin banked while the bar is visible belongs to a reveal that can still be honoured, so the earlier decision — that a bar toggle during the grace window must not confiscate a deliberate reveal's exemption — still holds. The two cases needed different answers, which is why no single-line predicate on `activity_bar_visible` was the fix. The test asserted the old behaviour and is updated as a contract change, plus a new assertion that a fresh focus move after the bar returns now collapses — the user-visible symptom the stale pin was eating. Verified by reverting the pin clear: the test fails at tests.rs:31526, its claim assertion.
External review of ad16434 found a pin banked before Zen surviving it and silently eating the user's first real collapse after Zen exits. Zen entry sets BOTH structural conditions — `activity_bar_visible = false` and `zen_mode = true` — so `toggle_side_bar`'s reason for refusing to bank a pin there applies in full to a pin already held: no collapse can fire for as long as Zen lasts, which makes the pin unconsumable rather than merely unused. The pin was cleared at three sites and Zen was not among them. This is a regression against main rather than an unhandled edge. On main `maybe_auto_hide_sidebar` did an unconditional `mem::take` of the pin on every focus move into the editor or terminal, so any move during or after Zen cleared it incidentally. Moving consumption to fire time — which is what makes the transient-suppression retry possible — removed that cleanup without replacing it at this boundary. The fix created the gap; it was not left behind. The test asserts both halves: the pin is gone on Zen entry, and the first deliberate focus move after Zen exits actually collapses. Verified by removing the clear: it fails at tests.rs:31670, its claim assertion.
`toggle_side_bar` refuses to bank a pin while auto-hide is off, because a pin set while the feature is off would sit unconsumed and silently eat the first collapse after the user turns it on. A pin banked BEFORE the user disables auto-hide reaches that same state by the other route, so the setting toggle has to drop it too. Main cleared this incidentally by taking the pin on every focus move. Consuming at fire time is correct, but it leaves each boundary to say so for itself — this is the fourth: the bank site, focus_pane(Tree), ToggleActivityBar, Zen entry, and now the setting toggle. Test asserts the drop at DISABLE time rather than after a round trip, so it catches the stranding where it happens rather than at its first visible consequence.
…pression The fifth instance of one class, and the one no entry-site disarm can reach. Cmd+B works inside Zen Mode, so the dwell can be armed while the suppression is ALREADY in force. No boundary is crossed, so no entry hook fires; the tick then declines via `!sidebar_auto_hide_allowed()` and stays armed BY DESIGN, because that decline is correct for transient suppressions (a seam drag, an open palette) which end in moments and must retry. Zen is not transient. It can last the session, and the collapse lands on the frame Zen exits -- for a focus move the user made an hour earlier, silently spending any pin with it. Four previous fixes each patched a transition, and each one CONFIRMED the comment in `tick_sidebar_auto_hide_at` saying structural suppressions "are handled where they are ENTERED rather than here". That sentence is true of every case where a transition exists and false of the case where there is none, which is why patching boundaries never converged. So refuse to ARM under a suppression nothing will lift on its own, matching the four conditions `toggle_side_bar` already uses before banking a pin. Also from review: - drop a docstring claim about clock-injected tests that stopped being true when the timer landed.

Disarming unconditionally (both directions) while only clearing the pin when the bar is hidden is correct: hiding the bar removes the only way back to a collapsed sidebar, so a pin held across that period is unconsumable and a stale armed dwell would otherwise resurrect on the next reveal with no fresh focus move. This is the fourth instance of the "disarm + clear pin" policy; see the consolidated comment for a shared-helper suggestion.

…t at arm
External review caught a regression in the previous commit: refusing to ARM
under a structural suppression stranded the feature.
The refusal is survivable for Zen only because Zen exit restores the pre-Zen
snapshot and closes the sidebar, so the user must re-reveal it and that gesture
re-arms. A hidden activity bar restores nothing. Focus is already on the
editor, production will not call `focus_pane` for a pane that already has
focus, and nothing else arms — so auto-hide stayed dead for the rest of the
session with nothing on screen to explain it. Strictly worse than main, where
arming was unconditional and the tick retried until `allowed()` went true.
The retry loop IS the recovery mechanism. Anything that stops the dwell arming
makes it unreachable, which turned "every exit needs a disarm" into "every exit
needs a re-arm" without a single test failing to say so. The class was not
killed, only moved.
So arming goes back to `sidebar_auto_hide && show_tree && !suspended`, and the
structural/transient split moves to fire time via
`sidebar_structurally_suppressed()`:
- transient (seam drag, palette, modal): stay armed, retry. It ends in
moments and the collapse should still land.
- structural (Zen, hidden activity bar): disarm. It can last the session, so
retrying would fire on the frame it lifts, for a focus move made an hour
earlier.
Fire time is the one place that always runs, so it sees the arm-during-
suppression case that no entry hook can: Cmd+B works inside Zen, no transition
occurs, and no hook fires.
The Zen test now asserts the OUTCOME (a tick inside Zen does not collapse, and
cancels rather than defers) instead of the arm-site mechanism it previously
pinned. Its user-visible claim is unchanged; the new
`auto_hide_recovers_after_the_activity_bar_comes_back` covers the property the
old mechanism violated.
Also from review: the tick comment claiming structural cases are handled where
ENTERED now says they are decided here, and why entry hooks cannot see the
no-transition case.
Addresses #302 (the whole issue — see Scope for why nothing is deferred).
#294 collapsed the side bar on the focus change itself, so a click that passes through the panel on its way to the editor took the panel out from under the pointer. The collapse now waits out a short grace delay and is cancelled outright if focus comes back.

That is #294's debt rather than this PR's, and documenting the whole suppression matrix inside a 400ms-window change would make one PR do two unrelated things: filed as #308, sequenced to land after this so it does not document a behaviour that is about to change.Testing

widgets::terminal::tests::pending_bytes_counts_advanced_output_and_resets_on_take_dirty, which passed on the re-run above. It spawns a real/bin/echoand polls a fixed 4000ms budget for output, so it is load-sensitive rather than broken — this diff contains zero references topending_bytesand does not touchterminal.rs(control: the same diff has 18sidebar_dwellhits, so the grep works). It is a fourth instance of the pattern tracked in #307.Summary by CodeRabbit
