Summary

Cancelling a GIF export now waits for native work to settle, removes partial output, and preserves an existing destination. The export options stay available for a same-path retry, and progress from an older job cannot update the new job.

Related issue

Fixes #643

Type of change

  • Bug fix

Release impact

  • Patch

Desktop impact

  • Windows
  • Not platform-specific

The shared native export and Electron bridge change. Hardware validation was performed on Windows; macOS/Linux hardware behavior is not claimed.

Screenshots / video

The change affects export cancellation rather than layout. The checked-in manual E2E log records the Windows cancel, cleanup, and same-path retry sequence; private capture media is not attached.

Testing

  • Targeted tests cover job ownership, cancellation cleanup, and bridge/client wiring:

    npx vitest --run electron/ipc/gifExportJobs.test.ts src/components/ai-edition/ExportDialog.cancel.test.tsx electron/native-bridge/services/compositorViewService.test.ts src/native/compositorViewClient.test.ts

  • The GIF Playwright spec covers cancel and retry wiring: npx playwright test tests/e2e/gif-export.spec.ts.

  • Fork CI on this head passed lint, application/test TypeScript checks, the unit suite, the build, and Windows compositor checks.

  • Real Windows OS input cancelled a GIF during frame rendering and retried the same path. Native output cleanup was verified and the completed GIF decoded successfully. Existing-destination preservation is also covered by native-addon tests.

Known limits

GIF frame-delay quantization at 15 FPS is unchanged. This is a scoped export-cancellation fix, not a release-packaging or full cross-platform manual pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • GIF exports can now be cancelled while rendering.
    • The export dialog shows cancellation progress and returns to an idle state when cancellation completes.
    • Cancelled exports can be retried without restarting the application.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Existing GIF files are preserved when an export is cancelled or fails.
    • Temporary partial export files are cleaned up automatically.
    • Progress updates from previous or cancelled exports no longer affect newer exports.
  • Documentation
    • Added manual and end-to-end coverage for cancellation, cleanup, preservation, and retry behavior.

Cancel now waits for the compositor job to settle, deletes a partial
GIF, and keeps an existing destination so the dialog can retry the same
path without stale progress.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds cancellable GIF export across the native compositor, Electron IPC, and export dialog. It adds per-export IDs, staged output publication, cancellation-aware progress, cleanup, structured cancellation errors, and retry handling.

Changes

Native export control

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native cancellation and atomic output
crates/compositor/..., crates/compositor-view-napi/src/lib.rs
GIF rendering checks cancellation at multiple stages. Completed output is published from a staging file. Cancellation and failures remove staging files while preserving an existing destination.

IPC job lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
IPC job lifecycle and native bridge
electron/ipc/*, electron/native-bridge/..., electron/native/compositor-view/addon.d.ts, src/native/*
The bridge validates export IDs, tracks one active job per window, forwards progress IDs, exposes cancellation requests, and returns structured CANCELLED errors.

Export dialog

Layer / File(s) Summary
Export dialog cancellation state
src/components/ai-edition/ExportDialog.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/ExportDialog.cancel.test.tsx
The dialog tracks active GIF jobs, filters stale progress, requests native cancellation, handles unmount cleanup, and supports retry after cancellation.

Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
End-to-end cancellation validation
tests/e2e/gif-export.spec.ts, technical-documentation/testing/manual-e2e-checklist.md
End-to-end coverage verifies cancellation cleanup, destination preservation, retry, and successful GIF output. The manual checklist records Windows validation.

Comment thread src/components/ai-edition/ExportDialog.tsx Outdated
A rejected cancel IPC left the dialog on the rendering phase, so progress stayed visible and hid the error. Move to the error phase and toast the message without changing the accepted-false race.
