Summary

Prevent mobile drag-and-drop operations from deleting commands or choices when a drop occurs before the placeholder is replaced with the dragged item.

Changes

  • Capture the pre-drag order when a drag starts.
  • Restore the pre-drag order if a finalize event omits the dragged item during the placeholder window.
  • Preserve genuine reorders and cross-zone de-duplication behavior.
  • Add regression tests for command and choice lists.

Testing / validation

  • Added Vitest coverage for placeholder-window drops, genuine reorders, and cross-zone drops.
  • E2E verification confirmed the relevant svelte-dnd-action event payloads under mobile emulation.

Checklist

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The drag-and-drop lists use shared placeholder recovery. If finalization omits the dragged item, each list reinserts it at the latest placeholder position. Genuine reorders remain unchanged, cross-zone moves remove the item, and drop animations are disabled.

Changes

Placeholder-window drag handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared placeholder recovery
src/gui/shared/dndReorder.ts
capturePlaceholderRecovery restores the dragged item’s real ID, preserves its index, removes the shadow marker, and disables drop animations.
Command list drag restoration
src/gui/MacroGUIs/CommandList.svelte, src/gui/MacroGUIs/CommandList.placeholderDrop.test.ts
CommandList records placeholder recovery and reinserts an omitted command at the latest placeholder index. Tests cover placeholder-only drops and genuine reorders.
Choice list drag finalization
src/gui/choiceList/ChoiceList.svelte, src/gui/choiceList/ChoiceList.crosszone.test.ts
ChoiceList restores omitted choices, preserves genuine reorders, and removes choices from the source zone after cross-zone moves. Tests cover these cases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to aaced

The PR fixes mobile placeholder-window drops while preserving reorder and cross-zone behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains; only a localized formatting follow-up is still outstanding.

Poem

I’m a rabbit watching rows hop,
The shadow marks each stopping spot.
Missing items return,
True reorders stay firm,
Cross-zone drops still make them stop.

…he placeholder window

Two review findings on the placeholder-window recovery:

- Disable the library's drop animation (it was already invisible at
  flipDurationMs 0). Its finalize-time animation-target lookup reads
  children[originIndex], which throws when the LAST row is dropped during
  the placeholder window (the strip left the zone one child short) - the
  finalize never fired, cleanup never ran, and the row stayed missing from
  state until the tab was rebuilt. Reproduced and re-verified on the
  Android emulator.

- Track the index the stripped placeholder last occupied and re-insert the
  dragged item there on recovery, instead of restoring the whole pre-drag
  order: the first DRAGGED_ENTERED (still placeholder-id) can already carry
  the user's intended position, and a full restore silently cancelled it.
…tself

The stripped shadow is a spread-copy of the dragged item, so the recovery can
reconstruct it (real id restored, library marker dropped) instead of looking it
up in a DRAG_STARTED snapshot. One shared capturePlaceholderRecovery replaces
the per-list snapshot + index pair, and the recovery becomes zone-agnostic: it
also covers a destination zone that receives a placeholder-id shadow, which has
no pre-drag snapshot of its own (unreachable through the real pointer path's
timing, but now handled uniformly rather than by assumption).

Superseded by #1695, which merged the identical commits (squashed as 85faf90) - the fix files on this branch are byte-identical to master. Closing as a duplicate; the branch stays since it backs an active worktree.
