Problem

On the iOS app:

  • Tweet photos collapsed to a thin sliver. The strip is overflow-x-auto holding w-5/6 photos. The style resolver dropped overflow-x, so the strip was a plain row sized by its own content, and the 5/6 width resolved against almost nothing.
  • HTML renders never showed. The web views that show them (host/src/frames.rs) existed for macOS only, and the iOS app never placed frames.

Fix

  • HTML renders on iOS. frames.rs has a UIKit side: a WKWebView per frame in a clipping host view over Rune's. The bookkeeping (diffing, masks, the message bridge) is now shared with macOS.
    • An inline page also hands its touches to Rune's view, so a drag over it scrolls the list and a long press opens the message menu, while a tap presses the page.
    • Text selection is off for inline pages, so WebKit's "Copy / Look Up" callout doesn't float over the menu.
    • A fullscreen page scrolls itself.
    • The iOS app registers on_frame_drawn(frames::sync).
  • Horizontal scrolling. overflow-x: auto|scroll now resolves to scrollX. The host maps it to Rune's scroll_x only on a flex row that doesn't wrap (filmstrips, tab strips, GIF categories, tweet photos), where Rune's layout matches CSS. A strip with no width of its own takes its parent's width.
    • Code blocks, tables and wrapped rows keep their current layout, because Rune would lay their text out on one line. Margin collapsing also stops at these boxes, as in CSS.
  • Sticky boxes in frames. A sticky box (a pinned date pill) only cuts holes in frames of its own layer. Before, a fullscreen render in a dialog showed the channel's date pills as black holes. This affected macOS too.
  • Wrapper viewport. The wrapper page sets a device-width viewport, so iOS doesn't lay the page out at desktop width.
  • Offline fixture:
    • link-preview requests go to the network, so tweets and previews unfurl offline.
    • HAZEL_FIXTURE_HTML also takes a page URL. bun run serve-fixture-html page.html serves one from the Mac to the Simulator.

Verification

Tests and checks

  • cargo test --release --lib: 149 pass, including new layout tests for the photo strip and for overflow-x on a block, and frame-cover tests.
  • clippy is clean for macOS and aarch64-apple-ios-sim; cargo fmt passes.
  • vitest: apps/native 55, packages/foldkit-rune 95.
  • tsc passes for native and web; oxlint and oxfmt pass.
  • An independent review pass found a possible stuck touch and a cover-logic regression; both are fixed.

iPhone 17 Pro Simulator (offline fixture, a real tweet through the link-preview worker, a fixture HTML render)

Tweet before Tweet after
Render before (empty box) Render after Tap in the page Drag over it scrolls the list
Fullscreen (no holes, tap works) Long press: the message menu only

Video of the taps, drags and long press: ios-html-render.mp4

Not verified here

  • macOS windowed run. The Mac's screen was locked, so I couldn't capture a window. The macOS frame code compiles, and its logic is covered by the host tests.
  • A tweet with several photos. I couldn't find a public multi-photo tweet; the layout test covers two photos.
  • GIF categories strip. It needs the backend, so it can't be checked offline.
  • A real device and live data.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • iOS now displays HTML pages with inline touch support and interactive, scrollable fullscreen views.
    • HTML fixtures can be loaded from a page URL, including a locally served page in the iOS Simulator.
    • Horizontal scrolling is supported in layouts, with improved sizing and text wrapping.
    • Sticky elements now layer more accurately over content and dialogs.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Offline link-preview and tweet requests are now forwarded to the network instead of failing.
  • Documentation

    • Updated guidance for serving HTML fixtures and for iOS HTML rendering and touch behavior.

- iOS shows HTML renders: frames.rs gains a UIKit side (a WKWebView per
  frame in a clipping host over Rune's view), sharing the macOS bookkeeping.
  Touches on an inline page also reach Rune's view, so a drag scrolls the
  list and a long press opens the message menu; a tap still presses the
  page. The iOS app now places frames after every frame drawn.
- overflow-x: auto on a non-wrapping flex row becomes a Rune horizontal
  viewport that takes its parent's width, so a tweet's w-5/6 photo strip
  is no longer a sliver and several photos scroll.
- Sticky boxes (a pinned date) only cut holes in frames of their own layer:
  a fullscreen render in a dialog no longer shows the page's date pills.
- The wrapper page sets a device-width viewport.
- Offline: link-preview requests go to the network, and HAZEL_FIXTURE_HTML
  takes a page URL (scripts/serve-fixture-html.ts serves one to the iOS
  Simulator).

Walkthrough

This PR adds iOS HTML rendering through WKWebView, horizontal overflow handling in Rune and the native host, and offline HTML fixture serving. Offline requests to the configured link-preview worker can also use the supplied network fetcher.

Changes: Native HTML Rendering and Offline Fixtures

Layer / File(s) Summary
Horizontal overflow styles and layout
packages/foldkit-rune/src/style.ts, packages/foldkit-rune/src/style.test.ts, apps/native/host/src/wire.rs, apps/native/host/src/layout.rs, apps/native/host/src/margins.rs, apps/native/host/src/tests.rs
Rune maps horizontal overflow to scrollX. The host applies horizontal scrolling to eligible flex rows and updates width and margin handling. Tests cover horizontal strips and text wrapping.
Frame layers and sticky-cover filtering
apps/native/host/src/frames.rs, apps/native/host/src/tests.rs
Frame collection tracks portal layers and horizontal clipping. Sticky covers carry layer scope, and cover selection uses that scope when determining overlap.
Apple web-view adapters and frame synchronization
apps/native/host/Cargo.toml, apps/native/host/src/frames.rs, apps/native/host/src/tests.rs, apps/native/host/src/updater.rs, apps/native/host/ios/src/main.rs, apps/native/README.md
Shared Apple frame management delegates view operations to AppKit and UIKit adapters. iOS registers frame synchronization, and the UIKit adapter renders HTML frames and routes inline-page touches to Rune.
Offline HTML fixtures and link-preview requests
apps/native/src/fixture/*, apps/native/src/data-source.ts, apps/native/src/offline-backend.ts, apps/native/src/offline-backend.test.ts, apps/native/scripts/ios.ts, apps/native/scripts/serve-fixture-html.ts, apps/native/package.json, apps/web-foldkit/src/chat/unfurl.ts, apps/native/README.md
Fixture helpers serve HTML files or construct render messages from URLs. The iOS simulator passes the fixture setting. Offline fetch handling forwards requests to the configured link-preview origin to the supplied fetcher.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 7b7e9

Two small layout edge cases remain: a short scroll strip inside a flex row may be sized wider than its content, and a fixed iframe inside a clipped container may be clipped wrongly. Neither affects the main iOS HTML render or tweet photo flows, so this is mergeable with follow-up.

Explanation

The title names two changes: HTML renders on iOS and tweet photos that fill their box. The changeset matches both. It adds iOS HTML frames on WKWebView with shared frame bookkeeping, and it adds horizontal scrolling and width handling for tweet photo strips in flex rows through scrollX and the layout changes. The title is specific and follows conventional commit form. It covers two aspects rather than every detail, which the criteria allow.

Review comments at @apps/native/host/src/frames.rs:
- Around line 1052-1053: Update the source-change handling in load to refresh
the frame’s text interaction preference alongside the other mode-dependent
settings, using the current frame source to determine whether text interaction
should be enabled. Ensure reused frames update correctly in both
inline-to-fullscreen and fullscreen-to-inline transitions.
- Line 63: Update walk so it resolves the iframe’s own portal layer, including
ov.portal and fixed cases recognized by is_portal, before collecting the iframe
and recording its layer. Preserve the resolved layer when checking whether
page-level sticky covers overlap the portal frame.

Review comments at @apps/native/host/src/layout.rs:
- Line 694: Update the width fallback around `e = e.w_full().shrink()` to check
`Style.shrink` independently: do not apply Rune’s `.shrink()` when the explicit
shrink value is zero, and preserve the existing width fallback for other cases.
- Line 694: Change the horizontal scroll strip sizing so flex-row items with
intrinsic-width children retain content-based width, while strips with
percentage-width children keep the full-width fallback required by the photo
case; leave block-level strips full width. Determine the child-width condition
at the point where the children are available rather than adding it to
apply_flex, which does not receive them.

Review comments at @packages/foldkit-rune/src/style.ts:
- Line 1628: Update the shorthand and longhand overflow handlers that set
scrollX so each declaration assigns the flag from its winning value, clearing it
when a later value such as visible or hidden disables scrolling. Add coverage
for auto followed by visible and hidden, confirming the final declaration
controls scrollX.

- An iframe that is itself a portal is its own layer for sticky covers.
- A frame that turns inline <-> fullscreen gets a new web view, so iOS's
  text selection follows the mode.
- A horizontal strip with shrink-0 keeps its width.
- A later overflow declaration clears scrollX/scrollY.
- The SVG test waits for lavapipe as the PNG one does (render_until).
- Windows: the stylesheet's base directory comes from a backslash path
  too; the bundle-swap updater test runs on macOS only.

On CodeRabbit's note about content-sized strips inside a flex row: leaving this as is. Matching CSS there needs the content's max-content width, which here includes pictures at their natural size (the tweet photos are why the strip needs its parent's width), and Rune does not measure that. Every overflow-x-auto row in the app today is either in a column (GIF categories, timezone ribbon), sets w-full (the shell tab strip), or is the tweet strip, so no current layout hits the short-strip-in-a-row case. If one appears, the condition belongs where the children are built (render/mod.rs), as CodeRabbit says.

CI follow-up in 7b7e929: the Native (Windows, Linux) job was red on every branch. Linux had a flaky SVG test (lavapipe draws a decoded picture a frame late; it now waits as the PNG test already did). Windows had a backslash path breaking the stylesheet precompile, and a macOS-only updater test that shells out to /usr/bin/tar.

no findings · tests covered · risk medium

Moves the portal clip reset ahead of the iframe branch in walk, so a fixed HTML render inside a scrolling list is no longer clipped by it, and extends the layer test to cover that case. Safe to merge.

Main's HTML renders on iOS (MapleTechLabs#477) and keyboard focus (MapleTechLabs#476) meet the native
islands: frames keep main's own covers, islands their layer-aware placement,
and the iOS shell places both after every frame. Also clears the lint: the
swipe back reads where the chevron leads from the element itself, the shell
installs its controls on a global as the desktop shells install __TAURI__, and
the menus' symbol tables keep their inferred types.
