Conversation
… full-file view Fixes Gitlawb#833: Decouple synchronous file reading and Chroma highlighting from View() render loop into an async cache keyed by target path, size, modtime and diff fingerprint. Bound memory with 4000 lines / 1 MiB total / 4 KiB line limits and evict cleanly on theme changes.
WalkthroughThe full-file TUI view now uses bounded reads and an LRU cache for file content, syntax highlighting, and formatted renders. Cache entries invalidate after file metadata or theme changes. Tests cover reuse, truncation, eviction, and invalidation. ChangesFile-view caching
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds caching and size limits, but the current implementation can still block rendering on file I/O and syntax highlighting, read beyond the intended byte cap for very long lines, and accumulate unbounded rendered variants. These can cause UI stalls and excessive memory or disk use, so the PR is not merge-ready until the bounded loading and cache behavior is corrected.

Count discarded bytes against the total read budget.
totalBytes only accumulates the retained lineBuf (capped at maxLineBytes). The inner loop still drains the whole physical line through ReadLine, so bytes past 4 KiB per line are read and dropped without charging the budget. For a minified or generated single-line file, the function streams the entire file from disk while totalBytes stays at 4096, and fileViewMaxBytes never stops it. This is the exact file shape the 1 MiB budget targets.
Charge every consumed chunk and stop when the budget is gone.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Distinguish clipped lines from omitted lines in the trailer.
truncated is set for three causes: the line cap, the byte cap, and per-line clipping. The trailer always claims "… more lines". For a file where only one long line was clipped, no lines are missing, so the message is wrong. TestFileViewMaxLineBytesBudgetTruncation uses a 2-line file and still asserts this trailer.
Carry the cause out of readFileViewBounded and pick the wording. Also update the const comment at Lines 30-31: it still advertises a "… N more lines" trailer with a remaining count, which this code no longer emits.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
The load path is still synchronous inside View(); the async claim does not ship.
getOrRender calls os.Stat on every render, and on a miss it runs readFileViewBounded, highlightCodeForPath, and formatFileViewLines inline. renderFileViewFull (Line 465) runs on the View() path through fileViewBodyItems. So the first frame for a file still performs blocking disk I/O and Chroma highlighting, and the work cannot be cancelled when the user closes the view. The PR description and issue #833 promise cancellable asynchronous loading and a View() that only renders cached model state.
Pick one:
- Move the load into a
tea.Cmd, render a "loading…" placeholder on a miss, and store the result in the model on the returned message. Drop stale results whenm.fileView.pathchanged. - Shrink the claim in the PR description to "bounded read plus render cache" and state that the first load remains synchronous.
Option 1 also removes the per-frame os.Stat syscall from the render path.
As per coding guidelines: "PR description, help text, and comments must match what shipped. Wire advertised entry points or shrink the claim."

Bound the per-entry renders map.
The render key combines width and the changed-lines fingerprint. The fingerprint changes whenever a tool result adds a changed line, and the width changes on every resize step. Each new key stores another complete ANSI render of up to 4000 lines, and nothing removes it until the file changes, the entry is evicted, or the theme changes. One long session on one large file therefore grows without limit, which works against the memory bound in issue #833. Only the entry count is capped today.
🔧 Proposed fix: cap render variants per entry
+// fileViewMaxRenderVariants caps stored width/marker variants per cached file.
+const fileViewMaxRenderVariants = 8
+
// Re-format for the new width or changed markers using cached display and lines

[P1] Enforce the byte budget while consuming an oversized physical line
internal/tui/file_view.go:124
fileViewMaxBytesis documented as a 1 MiB total read budget, but it is only checked by the outer loop after the innerReadLineloop finishes a physical line. OncelineBufreaches the 4 KiB display cap,ReadLinekeeps returning and discarding chunks whileisPrefixis true; those bytes are neither charged tototalBytesnor able to stop the loop. A generated file with one multi-gigabyte newline-terminated line therefore causes the full line to be read on the UI path before the result is marked truncated. Files with ordinary lines can also retain one final line beyond the nominal limit because the remaining per-file budget is not applied while appending a line.Address the root cause by making the input reader itself enforce the remaining total source-byte allowance, rather than accounting only for bytes retained in
lineBufafter a full line is consumed. Stop immediately when the limit is exhausted, mark the result as truncated, and retain only the portion that fits both the per-line and remaining total budgets. Add a regression test with one physical line larger thanfileViewMaxBytes; it should demonstrate that the reader stops at the budget rather than reading through to the newline. -
[P1] Bound rendered variants inside each file-cache entry
internal/tui/file_view.go:61
The 64-entry LRU limits the number of file entries, but it does not limit the payload stored by an entry. Each cache hit whose width orchangedLinesFingerprintdiffers adds another complete ANSI rendering tofileViewCachedEntry.renders. Existing variants are never removed until the entire file entry happens to be evicted or a theme change clears the whole cache. A user can keep one large file resident while resizing repeatedly or while session edits change the marker fingerprint, retaining an unbounded number of near-full-size strings under a single LRU entry. That defeats the PR’s hard memory-limit claim even though the entry count remains 64.Address the root cause by giving render variants their own bounded lifecycle: retain a small fixed number with a defined eviction policy, or invalidate/recompute variants when width or marker state changes. The bound must apply per file entry, not only to the outer file LRU, and it should preserve correct output for the active width and marker set. Add a test that drives more distinct width/fingerprint states than the limit and proves that the map and retained render payload cannot grow without bound.
