feat(web): open diff files from a right-click context menu

[saphid]

What Changed

Right-clicking a file in the chat changed-files tree, the diff panel, or the workspace file browser now offers file actions instead of nothing:

• Open — opens the file with its default app.
• Reveal in Finder / File Explorer / Files — reveals and selects the file in the environment's file manager, using the same shell.openInEditor reveal support and shellRevealInFileManager config gate the chat file chips already use (wording comes from the server's shellRevealInFileManagerKind).
• Open with — a submenu of the environment's detected editors from serverConfig.availableEditors.

Web-only change: no wire contracts, server, desktop shell, provider, or mobile code is touched. Mobile already has no OS-level file actions by design.

Why

The chat file chips got right-click open/reveal actions in #7140, but the surfaces where users actually review agent output — the changed-files card under a turn, the diff panel's file headers, and the file browser — still had no way to jump into Finder or an editor. Right-clicking a changed file there did nothing. This PR reuses the #7140 capability on those surfaces rather than adding a new one, so the menu only offers what the environment has already advertised it can do (reveal is hidden entirely when the server's shellRevealInFileManager flag is absent, and paths that cannot be resolved into the workspace offer no items at all). No upstream issue or discussion exists for this; this body carries the motivation.

Verification

• pnpm typecheck in apps/web: passed (0 errors).
• vp lint on the touched files: passed.
• npx vitest run for fileContextMenu.test.ts, diffFileActions.test.ts, changedFilesPresentation.test.ts, MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts, ChatHeader.test.ts: 112 passed, 0 failed. 7 tests are new, covering absolute-path resolution (workspace-relative, nested repository root, outside-workspace rejection) and menu-item construction (item set, reveal label, submenu ids, empty when the path cannot be resolved).
• Exercised in a running desktop dev client against an isolated home seeded with real data: right-clicked the app.mjs row in a thread's changed-files tree, the native menu opened with Open / Reveal in Finder / Open with, and clicking Reveal in Finder opened a Finder window targeting the thread's workspace folder (.../.wt/ig-wp8), confirming the full renderer → WS openInEditor → server launcher → open -R chain. The animated capture below shows the same flow, including the "Open with" submenu.

UI Changes

Before — right-clicking a changed file row offers nothing:

After — right-click offers Open, Reveal in Finder, and an Open with submenu; clicking Reveal in Finder opens the workspace folder:

Interaction — right-click, "Open with" submenu, then reveal in Finder (GIF):

Checklist

• This PR is small and focused
• I explained what changed and why
• I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
• I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Implementation used enablers/large in T3 Code (OpenCode harness).

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new cross-surface right-click workflow that launches files in editors or the environment file manager, backed by substantial new path, capability, and event-handling logic. An unresolved Medium finding also flags editor submenu dispatch behavior in the file browser, so the feature and its runtime integrations require human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds shared file context-menu actions for opening and revealing files. It connects them to changed-file, diff, and file-browser views. It adds tests for path resolution and menu construction.

Changes

File context menus

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Path resolution and menu actions apps/web/src/fileContextMenu.ts, apps/web/src/fileContextMenu.test.ts	Defines file targets and actions. Resolves workspace and repository paths. Builds capability-based actions and filters unsupported editors. Tests these behaviors.
Menu display and action activation apps/web/src/fileContextMenu.ts	Derives environment capabilities, displays local context menus, activates selections, opens or reveals files, and reports failures.
Changed-file context menu wiring apps/web/src/components/chat/ChangedFilesTree.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/MessagesTimeline.tsx	Adds optional handlers to changed-file components. Passes environment, workspace, and repository context from the message timeline.
Diff and file-browser integration apps/web/src/components/DiffPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/files/FileBrowserPanel.tsx	Handles context menus from diff file titles. Activates editor submenu items in the file browser and removes unused state reads.

@juliusmarminge @maria-rcks could you take a look when you get a chance?

Small web-only PR: right-clicking a changed file (changed-files tree, diff panel headers, file browser) now offers Open / Reveal in Finder / Open with, reusing the reveal capability from #7140 rather than adding new server surface. Both bot findings (the Open-with dispatch gap in the file browser) are fixed in cfb150b; CI is green.
