From e190dc31912ca22a38f70abe1b9c3a0884345368 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Ross Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 20:26:04 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix(mailbox): keep the inbox pager warm on reader return so it doesn't flash empty MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Returning from the reader/message screen to the inbox briefly showed the "No messages" empty state and reloaded: the inbox's only Paging presenter (collectAsLazyPagingItems) is torn down while a message is open, so the cachedIn pager loses its downstream collector. Opening an unread message writes setRead, invalidating the Room PagingSource; with nothing collecting, the fresh generation only cold-loaded once the inbox re-entered composition — a multi-second stall plus a one-frame empty-state flash. (The empty-state gate itself already landed with #214/#223.) Add an always-on, invisible PagingDataPresenter in MailboxViewModel that stays subscribed to the cached paged flow across the reader visit (collectLatest hands each new generation to collectFrom), so the post-setRead generation loads in the background and the return replays a full window with no empty frame. Tests: - MailboxViewModelTest: a real, invalidatable Pager proves the pager loads its initial window and reloads after invalidation with no UI collector attached. - MailboxScreenTest: the empty state is held back while refresh is Loading and shown only once the pager settles genuinely empty, driven via PagingData.from with explicit LoadStates through a new FakeMailRepository paged override.
