Chat Comparison Modal Summary

Chat Comparison Modal Summary

Overview

Version: 0.241.104

Implemented in version: 0.241.104

The chat comparison editor now stays out of the main chat layout until users need it. The inline compare area was reduced to compact Source and Target tags with a single edit button, while the full comparison editor moved into a larger scrollable modal.

Dependencies:

  • application/single_app/templates/chats.html
  • application/single_app/static/js/chat/chat-messages.js
  • existing conversation-aware comparison support from functions_document_comparison.py and functions_search_service.py

Technical Specifications

Architecture Overview

The comparison payload contract is unchanged. Chat still serializes one Source document through left_document_id and one or more Target documents through right_document_ids, but the visible compare surface is now split into:

  • a compact inline summary bar with Source and Target tags
  • a modal editor that contains the full Available Items, Source, and Targets board

This keeps the main chat input area compact while preserving the richer drag-and-drop comparison setup flow.

File Structure

  • application/single_app/templates/chats.html
  • application/single_app/static/js/chat/chat-messages.js
  • functional_tests/test_document_actions_and_comparison_feature.py
  • ui_tests/test_chat_document_action_selector_labels.py

Usage Instructions

  1. Choose Compare in the chat document action selector.
  2. Review the compact Source and Target tags under the document controls.
  3. Select Edit Compare to open the larger comparison modal.
  4. Use the modal to drag items or assign them into Source and Targets.
  5. Close the modal with Done and continue chatting with the compact summary preserved inline.

Testing And Validation

Functional coverage:

  • functional_tests/test_document_actions_and_comparison_feature.py

UI coverage:

  • ui_tests/test_chat_document_action_selector_labels.py

Performance considerations:

  • The modal reuses the existing comparison selection state instead of reloading a separate compare workflow.
  • The inline summary renders compact labels so long version details do not expand the chat composer area.
