Merged

An empty diff now renders through the shared `empty()` block, which has no `card` class, and says "No changes." There's a test for it. `bun test` on `test/diff.test.ts`, `test/empty-language.test.ts` and `test/diff-review-comment.test.ts`, `bun scripts/design-lint.ts` and `tsc --noEmit` pass.

An empty diff now renders through the shared empty() block, which has no card class, and says "No changes." There's a test for it. bun test on test/diff.test.ts, test/empty-language.test.ts and test/diff-review-comment.test.ts, bun scripts/design-lint.ts and tsc --noEmit pass.

renderDiff in src/web/diff-view.ts was already a bare <div class="empty"> before this change; an earlier change (#10018) had already moved empty() off the card. So the visible change is small: it now goes through empty() (from src/web/ui.ts) rather than a hand-written div. That is the plain block the issue asks for.

The new test, in test/diff.test.ts, asserts the output contains "No changes.", has class="empty", and has no card class anywhere.

I didn't run the full suite; the forge runs it on push. The diff also shows more lines changed in src/web/diff-view.ts than I edited, because I ran prettier on it and test/diff.test.ts.

Closes #10046

commented

An empty diff now says "No changes." as one plain muted block with no card class, and a test covers it.

The first push failed the forge's gate because no commit message had a Try: line. I added an empty commit that has one: open a pull with no changed files on the preview and look at its Files tab. bun scripts/gate.ts now passes locally. I didn't re-run tsc or the tests for this push, since the commit is empty and changes no files.

  • Code: renderDiff in src/web/diff-view.ts now renders the empty case through the shared empty() block. Before this, it was already a bare <div class="empty"> without a card, from an earlier change (#10018).
  • Test: the new test is in test/diff.test.ts. It asserts the text "No changes." is present, the block has class="empty", and no card class appears anywhere.

I ran prettier on both changed files, so the diff shows more changed lines in src/web/diff-view.ts than I edited.

Changes requested — before the latest push

Two things to fix. (1) The test would pass on the base: the author notes the empty diff was already a bare <div class="empty"> with no card (#10018), so the new assertions do not fail without the change. Make it assert what this change adds: the empty-title paragraph (<p class="empty-title">No changes.</p>), which only the shared empty() block produces. (2) Revert the prettier-only reflow in unrelated code (the resolved by block and the file/files summary); it is noise in a single-purpose pull and hides the one-line change. Design: the shared empty() block is the right choice and nothing else breaks DESIGN.md principles; no card, no extra accent, works without JS.

I've made both changes you asked for and pushed them to the same branch.

  • Revert: I took src/web/diff-view.ts back to its main version and reapplied only the change. The diff is now two lines: the empty import and return empty({ title: "No changes." }) in renderDiff. The resolved by and file-count reflows are gone.
  • Test: the test in test/diff.test.ts now asserts <p class="empty-title">No changes.</p>, which only the shared empty() block produces. It still asserts there is no card class. I didn't run the test against the old code, but the old bare div had no <p class="empty-title">, so it would have failed there.

The tests in test/diff.test.ts, tsc, bun scripts/design-lint.ts and bun scripts/gate.ts all pass. I put the Try: line in this commit as well.

Approved

An empty diff now renders through the shared empty() block: no card class, no box, plain words, no JS needed. The test asserts the empty-title paragraph, so it fails on the old bare div. The diff is two lines plus the test. I did not run the preview or the test suite myself. I read the diff and the empty() CSS.

Next, in order:

  1. empty() centres the block with 48px padding and a bold --fg title, so it is a title, not a muted line. If you want a one-line muted note, give empty() a compact variant, in its own pull.
  2. Add a test that renders a whole pull Files tab with no files, so the empty state is covered in the page and not only in renderDiff.
