Important

Stacked on #21527. It targets main because the fork can't push a branch to pingdotgg, so it also includes #21527's commits. Only the top commit is new. Merge #21527 first.

Problem

On iOS, tapping an image in a thread downloads the full image again before Quick Look opens, even though the thumbnail you just tapped is already on disk. On a slow connection, you tap and wait.

Fix

Using the cache keys from #21527, Quick Look opens the cached file when the app already has the image. Otherwise, it downloads as before. If the cached file is cleared before Quick Look reads it, the preview retries once with the download.

iOS only. Android and other surfaces are unchanged.

Verification

Time from tap to the image showing in Quick Look, on an iPhone 18 Pro simulator:

	main	This PR
First open after launch	4.6 s	3.2 s
Opening it again	1.4 s	0.8 s

Tapping the image, main on the left and this PR on the right: the first open after launch, then two reopens.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 4c338cf

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — iOS image previews reuse cached image files instead of downloading them again, with original URLs retained as a fallback. Existing URL refresh and scoped cache keys limit the change to how preview bytes are loaded.

Walkthrough

Asset URL results now include optional content versions. Mobile code uses asset identity, content versions, and immutable GitHub URLs to generate image cache keys. Preview resolution and native presentation use those keys.

Changes: Asset Image Caching

Resolved preview items carry cache keys, which native file presentation uses to look up cached file paths.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review 8314f

The previously identified versioning and test-coverage gaps are addressed. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 6507d

The inspected preview flow retains environment-scoped asset identities, refreshes mutable host-file URLs, and preserves native cancellation and cleanup controls. No new attacker privilege or cross-environment access was established. Remaining uncertainty concerns metadata-based file versions and cache retention across identity changes.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The directly affected security surface is previously fetched image data in the mobile application's cache and its handoff to native preview. The inspected change does not grant callers an arbitrary local path: local paths come from cache lookup, while resource keys preserve environment separation. Physical cache isolation and identity-change invalidation remain unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Host-file previews always request a fresh asset URL. Other resource types reuse a successful cached URL only when more than five minutes remain. Server-side remote resolution still validates token signatures and expiry, and media-file reads validate the signed device/inode identity.
• observed — The native consumer copies cache files into its temporary preview directory rather than presenting the original cache path. Existing format detection and Quick Look compatibility checks remain in that path.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Metadata versions are not content identities. A same-path replacement preserving size and modification time can reuse an older cached image despite fresh URL issuance; media-file token identity additionally distinguishes device/inode. This is a supported stale-byte scenario within the same logical asset scope, but the inspected evidence does not establish a new unauthorized reader or disclosure path.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — If preview correctness must withstand metadata-preserving file replacement, use a stronger server-issued content identity and explicitly define cache invalidation across credential or environment identity changes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem, implementation, platform scope, and verification results. It is missing the required “Scope and approval” section, including a triaged issue or explicit maintainer approval, and it uses “Fix” instead of the template’s “Change” heading. Verification does not list focused test commands or state what could not be checked.

Resolution

Add a “## Scope and approval” section with the triaged issue or maintainer approval comment, or explain why this focused fix qualifies without prior approval. Rename “## Fix” to “## Change.” Expand “## Verification” with the focused test commands, observed results, and any checks that were not performed.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Propagate the GitHub media cache key to markdown thumbnails.

PullRequestMarkdown.MarkdownImage does not pass media.cacheKey to ThreadMarkdownImageView. The new preview resolver uses the stable t3-github-media key for immutable GitHub resources, but this thumbnail is cached without that key. The iOS lookup can miss and fall back to the remote preview URL.

Suggested fix

     <ThreadMarkdownImageView
       uri={media.uri}
       sourceKey={props.href}
+      cacheKey={media.cacheKey}
       unavailable={media.unavailable || !/^https?:\/\//i.test(props.href)}

🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 on behalf of Oliver

Good catch on the outside-diff comment: images in a pull request body (PullRequestMarkdown's MarkdownImage) now pass media.cacheKey too. The fix is in #21527 (16f2d4c), since that PR adds the keys, and this PR is rebased onto it. The other ThreadMarkdownImageView callers render direct, unsigned URLs, so their URL is already a stable key.

merged current main into the original contributor branch without rebasing at 4c338cffb89e2c01bfa5cb220cf11c01cc0bb096. resolved the markdown-image conflict by retaining main's first-decode sizing guard and revision-based source key alongside the thumbnail cache key. no other fixes were needed. the remaining diff against main is four files, +61/-11.

blacksmith verification passed vp run check:changed against base e6e2ab05cceb3f8245e87f8499d4891f27de33cb: format, lint, knip, two affected package typechecks, existing asset-state tests and react compiler checks. the additional cache-key, gallery and asset-state run passed all 11 tests. all existing bot threads are resolved. both independent code reviews found no blocking issue. all 32 reported checks now pass, with no pending or failing checks. github reports MERGEABLE and CLEAN on this head.

unverified: current-head ios quick look cache hits, eviction fallback, gallery selection, dismissal and document previews. device discovery returned "Agent device access is turned off for this environment." chrome on linux cannot exercise quick look. the existing contributor recording remains in the body; this pass adds no runtime or performance claim.

Verified in a real dev environment

none of the changed runtime behavior could be exercised on this linux vm. this is an unverifiable result, not a runtime pass.

i inspected the description, discussion, all four pr commit authors, and the 12-file diff at 77de267eb3289c7e6ad41d0224670dd10754a37c. the pr is open. the git.cafe number is also 21558. existing ci reports 31 successful checks and no pending or failing checks; those checks do not prove this interaction.

Not verified

the changed user path is tapping an image thumbnail in the native ios app, resolving a fresh authorized asset url, looking up the thumbnail cache key in expo-image, and handing quick look the cached local file. chrome on linux cannot execute FilePreview.ios.tsx or ios quick look.

the device discovery call returned exactly: Agent device access is turned off for this environment. this vm is linux and has no xcrun. the mobile verification skill requires stopping verification when device access is unavailable.

therefore i could not reproduce the original redownload on main or verify cache hits, remote fallback after eviction, a gallery starting at its second image, dismissal, document previews, image updates, or url refresh/reconnect behavior. no real provider turn, dev-server runtime check, screenshot, recording, or timing measurement was made. i created the requested separate main worktree, but stopped before installs or server startup once the native-device blocker was established, and removed that unused worktree. no code or branch changes were made.

an ios device host with device access enabled is required to finish the before/after pass using a real codex gpt-6.1-sol turn. android would cover only neighboring mobile behavior, not the quick look change.
