  - "[Phase 26-02]: MobileChatView uses useQuery for conversation title lookup (same key as ChatConversationList) — no extra API call due to React Query cache"
  - "[Phase 26-02]: refetch from useChatConversations wrapped in void wrapper to satisfy PullToRefresh onRefresh type (void | Promise<void>)"
  - "[Phase 26-02]: ChatConversationItem gets min-h-[48px] touch target to satisfy UI-SPEC requirement"

# Phase 26 Plan 02: Mobile Responsive Chat Layout Summary

Mobile-first chat view with full-screen layout on phones, pull-to-refresh gesture, safe-area insets, and proper 44px/48px touch targets.

## Tasks Completed

| Task | Name | Commit | Files |
|------|------|--------|-------|
| 1 | Create useMediaQuery hook and PullToRefresh component | 3a6adc7f | useMediaQuery.ts, usePullToRefresh.ts, PullToRefresh.tsx |
| 2 | Create MobileChatView and wire ChatPanel for responsive layout | 78b04217 | MobileChatView.tsx, ChatPanel.tsx, ChatConversationList.tsx, ChatInput.tsx, ChatConversationItem.tsx |

## What Was Built

**useMediaQuery** (`ui/src/hooks/useMediaQuery.ts`): SSR-safe hook that wraps `window.matchMedia` with `addEventListener("change")` for live updates. Returns boolean for any media query string.

**usePullToRefresh** (`ui/src/hooks/usePullToRefresh.ts`): Touch gesture hook with 64px threshold. Mirrors SwipeToArchive.tsx convention (native DOM events, not React synthetic). Fires `navigator.vibrate(10)` for haptic feedback on threshold trigger. Returns `containerRef` to attach to scroll container.

**PullToRefresh** (`ui/src/components/PullToRefresh.tsx`): Visual wrapper showing Loader2 spinner with "Pull to refresh" / "Release to refresh" text. Children are translated down by pull distance for visual feedback. Opacity scales with pull distance.

**MobileChatView** (`ui/src/components/MobileChatView.tsx`): Full-screen mobile chat at `h-[100dvh]` (not `100vh` — avoids keyboard-shrink issue). Two views:
- No active conversation: conversation list with PullToRefresh, `pb-16` to clear global MobileBottomNav
- Active conversation: 48px header with back button + title + agent selector, message list, sticky input bar with `pb-[env(safe-area-inset-bottom)]`

**ChatPanel updates**: Imports `useMediaQuery` and `MobileChatView`. Adds `const isDesktop = useMediaQuery("(min-width: 768px)")` at function top and returns `<MobileChatView />` when `!isDesktop`. Desktop layout unchanged.

**ChatConversationList updates**: Wraps ScrollArea in `<PullToRefresh onRefresh={() => { void refetch(); }} enabled={isMobile}>`.

**ChatInput updates**: `pb-[env(safe-area-inset-bottom)]` on form container. Send button gets `min-h-[44px] min-w-[44px]`.

**ChatConversationItem updates**: `min-h-[48px] justify-center` for touch target compliance.

## Deviations from Plan

### Auto-fixed Issues

**1. [Rule 1 - Bug] Type mismatch on PullToRefresh onRefresh prop**
- **Found during:** Task 2 build
- **Issue:** `refetch` from `useInfiniteQuery` returns `Promise<QueryObserverResult<...>>`, not `Promise<void>`. TypeScript rejected the direct assignment.
- **Fix:** Wrapped in `() => { void refetch(); }` to satisfy the `() => void | Promise<void>` interface.
- **Files modified:** `ui/src/components/ChatConversationList.tsx`
- **Commit:** 78b04217

**2. [Rule 2 - Missing critical functionality] ChatConversationItem touch targets**
- **Found during:** Task 2 — review of UI-SPEC touch target rule (48px minimum)
- **Issue:** ChatConversationItem had `py-1.5` resulting in under-48px height on mobile.
- **Fix:** Added `min-h-[48px] justify-center` to item container.
- **Files modified:** `ui/src/components/ChatConversationItem.tsx`
- **Commit:** 78b04217

## Known Stubs

None — all components are wired with real data (useStreamingChat, useChatMessages, useChatConversations, etc.).
