## Summary Fixes #303. This PR redesigns the Git Changes Monaco diff gutter so unified and split view both use a more intentional, space-efficient Monaco presentation while preserving Monaco's performance on large diffs. The final behavior includes: - `Compact` and `Normal` gutter modes for Git Changes - dynamic gutter sizing based on actual line-number digit counts - independent original/modified number-column sizing where needed - split-view fixes for both wasted left inset and line-number/sign overlap - persisted gutter-mode selection - localized user-facing labels for the control ## Visual comparison ### Unified view before <img width="465" height="353" alt="Unified view before" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0c061f25-f20a-4127-a85d-aee1161611c7" /> ### Unified view after <img width="634" height="240" alt="Unified view after" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f2dfd952-89ed-4fdd-83db-a05f19f023b2" /> ### Split view before <img width="596" height="335" alt="Split view before" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/09bfbe41-9438-4801-b181-49a9d19d5bb8" /> ### Split view after <img width="640" height="338" alt="Split view after" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fc3618ef-474f-4217-bb21-5ffd53eb4e01" /> <!-- If you want to replace these screenshots later, keep the four sections above and swap the image URLs. --> ## What changed ### Unified view - added two Git Changes Monaco gutter presentations: - `Compact` - `Normal` - kept compact as the tighter single-column-feel unified gutter - kept normal as the wider Monaco-style unified gutter - made unified gutter sizing respond to actual line-number digit counts instead of fixed assumptions - made normal mode size the visible number columns independently when one side needs more width than the other ### Split view - added dynamic split gutter sizing derived from actual before/after line counts - made split original and modified number columns size independently - fixed the modified-pane overlap where larger line numbers could collide with the `+` lane - fixed the original-pane wasted left inset caused by Monaco reserving an empty original-side glyph-margin lane ### Persistence and UI - persisted the selected gutter mode in preferences so it survives reloads - moved the gutter-mode control out of the Git Changes toolbar and into Appearance settings - renamed the visible settings options to `Compact` and `Normal` ### i18n - removed hardcoded user-facing gutter toggle strings - added localized keys for the gutter control labels and titles used by the Git Changes surface ## Implementation notes - Monaco remains the active Git Changes renderer throughout - gutter sizing logic is centralized in `packages/ui/src/components/file-viewer/monaco-diff-viewer.tsx` - CSS is used only for narrow presentation adjustments such as the 4px left inset and the split original-pane glyph-margin correction - the persisted gutter-mode preference is the source of truth for the selected presentation ## Review focus - unified `Compact` mode should feel tight without clipping or overlap - unified `Normal` mode should remain wider and readable - 3-digit and 4-digit line numbers should not collide with the sign lane - split original pane should no longer show wasted left inset before the first visible number column - split modified pane should not leave conspicuous dead space or collide with the `+` lane as digit counts grow - selected gutter mode should persist after reload --------- Co-authored-by: Shantur Rathore <i@shantur.com>

Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/NeuralNomadsAI/CodeNomad.git
cd CodeNomad
npm install
npm run dev
Troubleshooting
macOS: "CodeNomad.app is damaged and can't be opened"
Gatekeeper flag due to missing notarization. Clear the quarantine attribute:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CodeNomad.app
On Intel Macs, also check System Settings → Privacy & Security on first launch.
Linux (Wayland + NVIDIA): Tauri App closes immediately
WebKitGTK DMA-BUF/GBM issue. Run with:
WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 codenomad
See full workaround in the original README.
