Implement Checkpoint diff preview and proper delete confirmation dialog

[frankbria]

Problem

CheckpointList component shows checkpoint metadata but lacks diff preview and uses browser's native confirm dialog for deletion.

Affected Tests

1. test_checkpoint_ui.spec.ts:122 - should display checkpoint diff preview
2. test_checkpoint_ui.spec.ts:167 - should allow deleting checkpoint

Current State

CheckpointList displays:

• ✅ Checkpoint metadata (name, timestamp, git SHA)
• ❌ Git diff preview
• ❌ Custom delete confirmation dialog (uses window.confirm())

Proposed Solution

1. Git Diff Preview

   • Show git diff when checkpoint is clicked/expanded
   • Display files changed, additions, deletions
   • Handle "no changes" case
   • Testids: checkpoint-diff, no-changes-message

2. Custom Delete Dialog

   • Replace window.confirm() with custom React dialog
   • Show delete warning message
   • Confirm/cancel buttons
   • Testids: delete-confirmation-dialog, delete-warning, delete-confirm-button, delete-cancel-button

Acceptance Criteria

• Checkpoint diff preview displays on expand
• Diff shows files changed or "no changes" message
• Custom delete dialog replaces browser confirm
• All testids implemented
• Both E2E tests pass
• Skip decorators removed

Files

• tests/e2e/test_checkpoint_ui.spec.ts:122,167 (tests)
• CheckpointList component (implementation)

Plan

Observations

The CheckpointList component currently displays checkpoint metadata (name, timestamp, git SHA, tasks, costs) but lacks two key features: (1) expandable diff preview showing git changes when a checkpoint is clicked, and (2) a custom delete confirmation dialog (currently uses window.confirm()). The codebase already has the getCheckpointDiff API function in the frontend and a _show_diff method in the backend CheckpointManager, but no dedicated /diff REST endpoint. The codebase follows a consistent modal pattern (BlockerModal, PRDModal, CheckpointRestore) using fixed overlays, backdrop click handling, and proper testids.

Approach

The implementation will add two features to CheckpointList: (1) expandable checkpoint items that fetch and display git diffs using the existing API infrastructure, and (2) a custom delete confirmation dialog component following the established modal pattern. First, add a backend /diff endpoint to expose the existing _show_diff functionality. Then, modify CheckpointList to track expanded checkpoint state, fetch diffs on expansion, and display them with proper formatting. Finally, replace window.confirm() with a custom DeleteConfirmationDialog component that matches the codebase's modal patterns and includes all required testids.

Implementation Steps

1. Backend: Add Checkpoint Diff Endpoint

File: file:codeframe/ui/server.py

Add a new GET endpoint after the existing checkpoint endpoints (around line 3409):

@app.get("/api/projects/{project_id}/checkpoints/{checkpoint_id}/diff", tags=["checkpoints"])
async def get_checkpoint_diff(project_id: int, checkpoint_id: int):

Implementation details:

• Verify project and checkpoint exist (similar to existing endpoints)
• Verify checkpoint belongs to project
• Create CheckpointManager instance
• Call checkpoint_mgr._show_diff(checkpoint.git_commit) to get diff string
• Parse diff output to extract files_changed, insertions, deletions counts
• Return CheckpointDiffResponse with structure matching file:web-ui/src/types/checkpoints.ts CheckpointDiff type
• Handle cases where diff is empty (no changes)
• Add proper error handling for git operations

2. Frontend: Add Expandable Checkpoint Items

File: file:web-ui/src/components/checkpoints/CheckpointList.tsx

State additions (around line 30):

• Add expandedCheckpointId: number | null state to track which checkpoint is expanded
• Add checkpointDiffs: Map<number, CheckpointDiff> state to cache loaded diffs
• Add loadingDiffs: Set<number> state to track which diffs are loading
• Add diffErrors: Map<number, string> state to track diff loading errors

Handler function (around line 116):

• Add handleCheckpointClick(checkpointId: number) function
• Toggle expanded state: if already expanded, collapse; otherwise expand
• When expanding, check if diff is already cached
• If not cached, add to loadingDiffs set and call getCheckpointDiff(projectId, checkpointId)
• On success, store in checkpointDiffs map and remove from loadingDiffs
• On error, store error in diffErrors map and remove from loadingDiffs

Render modifications (around line 256-340):

• Make checkpoint item clickable by adding onClick={() => handleCheckpointClick(checkpoint.id)}
• Add cursor-pointer class to indicate clickability
• After the metadata grid (around line 320), conditionally render diff section when expandedCheckpointId === checkpoint.id
• Show loading spinner if checkpoint is in loadingDiffs set
• Show error message if checkpoint has error in diffErrors map
• Show diff content if checkpoint has data in checkpointDiffs map:
  • Add container with data-testid="checkpoint-diff"
  • Display summary: files changed, insertions (+green), deletions (-red)
  • Display diff in monospace pre element with syntax highlighting
  • Handle empty diff case with data-testid="no-changes-message" showing "No changes detected"

Styling:

• Use similar styling to CheckpointRestore component (lines 183-205)
• Gray background for summary stats
• Dark background for diff content
• Green text for additions, red for deletions

3. Frontend: Create Delete Confirmation Dialog Component

New File: file:web-ui/src/components/checkpoints/DeleteConfirmationDialog.tsx

Create a new component following the modal pattern from BlockerModal and PRDModal:

Props interface:

• isOpen: boolean
• checkpointName: string
• onConfirm: () => void
• onCancel: () => void
• isDeleting: boolean

Structure:

• Fixed overlay with data-testid="delete-confirmation-dialog"
• Backdrop click handler to call onCancel
• Escape key handler to call onCancel
• White rounded dialog with three sections:
  • Header: "Delete Checkpoint" title with close button
  • Body: Warning message with data-testid="delete-warning" containing:
    • Warning icon (yellow/red)
    • Bold text: "Are you sure you want to delete this checkpoint?"
    • Checkpoint name in quotes
    • Explanation: "This action cannot be undone. The checkpoint backup files will be permanently deleted."
  • Footer: Two buttons:
    • Cancel button with data-testid="delete-cancel-button" (gray, calls onCancel)
    • Delete button with data-testid="delete-confirm-button" (red, calls onConfirm, disabled when isDeleting)

Styling:

• Follow BlockerModal pattern (lines 138-246)
• Use red color scheme for destructive action
• Show "Deleting..." text when isDeleting is true

4. Frontend: Integrate Delete Dialog into CheckpointList

File: file:web-ui/src/components/checkpoints/CheckpointList.tsx

State additions (around line 30):

• Add showDeleteDialog: boolean state
• Add checkpointToDelete: { id: number; name: string } | null state
• Add deleting: boolean state

Modify handleDeleteCheckpoint (lines 91-103):

• Remove window.confirm() call
• Change to: setCheckpointToDelete({ id: checkpointId, name: checkpointName }) and setShowDeleteDialog(true)

Add new handler:

• handleConfirmDelete async function:
  • Set deleting to true
  • Call deleteCheckpoint(projectId, checkpointToDelete.id)
  • On success: reload checkpoints, close dialog, reset state
  • On error: set error message, keep dialog open
  • Finally: set deleting to false

Add new handler:

• handleCancelDelete function:
  • Set showDeleteDialog to false
  • Reset checkpointToDelete to null

Import and render (around line 355):

• Import DeleteConfirmationDialog component
• Render after CheckpointRestore dialog:

{showDeleteDialog && checkpointToDelete && (
  <DeleteConfirmationDialog
    isOpen={showDeleteDialog}
    checkpointName={checkpointToDelete.name}
    onConfirm={handleConfirmDelete}
    onCancel={handleCancelDelete}
    isDeleting={deleting}
  />
)}

5. Testing Verification

File: file:tests/e2e/test_checkpoint_ui.spec.ts

Remove skip decorators:

• Line 122: Remove test.skip from "should display checkpoint diff preview" test
• Line 167: Remove test.skip from "should allow deleting checkpoint" test

Verify test expectations:

• Diff preview test (lines 122-146):
  • Clicks checkpoint item to expand
  • Waits for async diff load
  • Checks for either checkpoint-diff or no-changes-message testid
• Delete dialog test (lines 167-187):
  • Clicks delete button
  • Verifies delete-confirmation-dialog is visible
  • Verifies delete-warning is visible
  • Verifies confirm/cancel buttons are present

• Integration: CheckpointList.tsx

  • Replaced window.confirm() with custom dialog
  • State management for dialog visibility and deletion status
  • Proper error handling and user feedback

3. E2E Tests Enabled

• Removed test.skip from both tests in test_checkpoint_ui.spec.ts:
