User description

useIsMobile() called mql.addEventListener('change', onChange) directly on a MediaQueryList. Older Safari (Catalina and before) only implements the deprecated addListener/removeListener pair, causing a runtime crash.

The sibling hook useMediaQuery.ts already has an attachMediaListener helper with a try/catch fallback for this exact case. Use the same pattern here for consistency and cross-browser compatibility.

Used by Sidebar and Dropdrawer components.


CodeAnt-AI Description

Prevent mobile detection crashes on older Safari

What Changed

  • The mobile screen hook now falls back to Safari’s supported listener mechanism when standard media query events are unavailable
  • Media query listeners are removed correctly when the hook is unmounted
  • Added coverage for wide screens, narrow screens, legacy Safari fallback, and listener cleanup

Impact

✅ Mobile layouts work on older Safari
✅ Fewer runtime crashes during responsive navigation
✅ Reliable media query listener cleanup

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The mobile hook now uses a reusable media-query listener helper. The helper supports modern listeners and Safari’s deprecated listener API. Tests cover viewport states, fallback registration, cleanup, and test isolation.

Changes

Mobile media listener compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Media listener fallback and hook coverage
web-app/src/hooks/use-mobile.ts, web-app/src/hooks/__tests__/use-mobile.test.ts
useIsMobile now uses a helper that registers modern listeners and falls back to addListener with matching cleanup. Tests cover wide and narrow viewports, fallback behavior, unmount cleanup, and mock and timer restoration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15–30 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e113f

The change adds the older-Safari MediaQueryList fallback without introducing an actionable merge-blocking risk; it is merge-ready after normal checks and review.

Test the absent addEventListener condition.

Lines 40-46 and Lines 60-66 define addEventListener and force it to throw. Older Safari lacks this method. Remove addEventListener and removeEventListener from both fixtures so the tests verify the actual compatibility path.

Proposed test fixture change
 const mql = {
-  addEventListener: vi.fn(() => {
-    throw new Error('addEventListener not supported on MediaQueryList')
-  }),
-  removeEventListener: vi.fn(),
   addListener: vi.fn(),
   removeListener: vi.fn(),
 }

Also applies to: 60-66
