Opening thread sheets can hang in a SwiftUI update loop. CI main-thread samples showed repeated thread construction and timer teardown during sheet layout. A focused Observation regression reproduced the problem locally: releasing a temporary ThreadAutoRefresher invalidated the view evaluation that created it.

Keep timer handles, cached settings, and callbacks outside Observation. Initialize the refresher without starting a timer; the existing thread appearance/scene lifecycle starts it. Deinitialization cancels the subscription without mutating observable UI state. The regression failed before this change and checks that temporary construction/destruction creates no invalidation.

CI captures app stacks during testing and gives the test step a 20-minute limit within the 30-minute job limit, leaving time to upload diagnostics. Existing UI regressions remain enabled.

Validation: the new regression failed on the old timer lifecycle and passes with the fix. All 68 unit tests and 8 browsing UI tests pass on iPhone 17 / iOS 26.5. Unsigned Release device build passed; SwiftLint reports 16 existing warnings. Full GitHub validation is running.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Build and Test workflow now runs a diagnostics script that samples swiftchan processes during tests. ThreadView now presents the follow-general sheet from captured inputs and pauses visible-post recording while that presentation exists.

Changes

CI Test Diagnostics

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Run tests with process sampling .github/workflows/build_and_test.yml, ci_scripts/test_with_diagnostics.sh	The workflow runs the diagnostics script. The script starts Fastlane tests, samples running swiftchan processes every 60 seconds, and waits for the test process to exit.

Follow-General Presentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Capture and present follow-general inputs swiftchan/Views/Boards/Catalog/Thread/ThreadView.swift	ThreadView captures the board, suggestion, and optional favorite in an identifiable presentation snapshot. The sheet uses that snapshot, and visible-post recording pauses while it exists.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 15b57

A test hang could prevent the captured diagnostics from being uploaded. Reserve time for artifact upload before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 15b57

The follow sheet retains its existing validation and save path. CI now uploads diagnostic stacks with test results; their contents and who can access them warrant attention. No confirmed security regression was found.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The new diagnostic-data exposure is bounded to sampled app processes on the CI test runner and readers of the resulting artifact; no production deployment or expanded app privilege is shown.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The follow-sheet change keeps title parsing, board-and-tag favorite matching, draft validation, and model-context saving in their existing paths; it does not give title content a new persistence authority.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Before retaining stack samples, confirm that test data and process stacks contain no sensitive values and that artifact access and retention match the intended diagnostic audience.
