Summary

Reviving a renderable while its slide-out is in flight is now continuous for every side configuration. Previously, continuity held only when the transition entered from the side it exited to (the entry offset happened to cancel the leftover exit offset); a cross-side configuration (e.g. .slide(from: .left, to: .right)) reset the residue and teleported the mid-flight renderable to the opposite edge before sliding it back in.

The mechanism

A revival's insertion anchors its additive offset to the model position the removal left behind instead of the configured entry frame:

  • rendered before revival: removalPosition + leftoverExitOffset
  • rendered after revival: target + (removalPosition − target) + leftoverExitOffset — the insertion's offset cancels the model change exactly

The rendered position doesn't move at the revival instant, the leftover exit offset keeps decaying on top, and both animations settle into the resting position through the slide's existing additive stacking — no sampling or evaluator machinery, since position (unlike opacity) composes without clamping.

Semantics

  • A revival re-enters from wherever the removal left it: a renderable that fully slid out re-enters from its exit side. The configured from side applies only to fresh insertions.
  • The same-side/cross-side takeover distinction is deleted: takesOverKeyPaths: ["position"] is unconditional (same-side behavior is unchanged by construction).
  • A zero-duration revival clears the taken-over leftover animations so the snap lands at rest (mirroring the opacity transition).
  • Composition quality depends on the timings (documented on slide()): rest-starting curves (springs, ease-in-out) keep velocity continuous; an equal-duration linear pair cancels to a standstill until the leftover decays; strongly mismatched durations can overshoot before settling.
  • With a delayed revival, the leftover keeps playing during the delay window while the scheduled insert offset holds the revival position through its fill mode.

Plumbing

The render pass applies the target frame as the model value before the insert transition runs, so ComposeView captures the removal's root-layer model position at revival time and passes it through a new InsertTransition.Context.revivalPosition field — set only when the insert transition takes over the removal's residue, nil for fresh insertions and reset revivals. The model position is unaffected by the layer's transform, anchor point, and the view/layer frame split, so hooks that change geometry between the capture and the transition can't corrupt the anchor. The takeover contract is documented as key-path-based with additive residue assumed (the built-ins satisfy it).

Review provenance

Three independent strict reviews plus Codex/CodeRabbit triaged into five follow-up commits: the zero-duration reflection regression (fixed + pinned), the capture hardened from frame to model position, a vestigial entry-frame write removed (the insertion now rests its model at the target unconditionally), the contracts documented, and the test batch below. The remaining bot suggestion (replace stacking with sampled retargeting) is deliberately deferred and documented as the composition-quality trade-off.

Tests

  • Transition-level pins: cross-side revival continuity (offset anchored to the revival position, leftover kept), zero-duration revival snap-at-rest, delayed revival hold (leftover + scheduled offset with .both fill), and the framework contract (taking-over revivals receive the captured position — including when the residue doesn't animate position — reset revivals receive nil).
  • A hosted end-to-end test verifies rendered continuity: presentation position sampled before and after a mid-flight cross-side revival drifts a few points instead of jumping a content width.
  • The cross-side e2e is rewritten from "insert resets" to "insert continues from the removal's position"; same-side e2e and all fresh-insert tests pass unchanged.

Verification

  • Full macOS suite and iOS simulator suite (730 tests, 0 failures) green; lint and format clean; both playgrounds build.
  • The transition-revival playground page demonstrates the new continuity on the "slide (left → right)" cycle.
  • CHANGELOG records the behavior change and the new context field.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved interrupted slide transitions so revived elements continue smoothly from their current removal position.
    • Prevented visible snapping when elements re-enter from a different slide direction.
    • Preserved in-progress animation offsets during transition takeovers.
    • Ensured zero-duration revivals clear leftover animations and snap immediately to the target position.
  • Documentation

    • Updated transition revival guidance to reflect smoother cross-direction behavior and continuity from the removal position.

A slide insertion anchored its animation to the configured entry side,
so reviving an in-flight removal was only continuous when the entry
offset happened to cancel the leftover exit offset, which holds when
the renderable enters from the side it exits to. A cross-side revival
reset the residue and restarted from the entry side, teleporting the
mid-flight renderable to the opposite edge.

Anchor a revival's offset to the model frame the removal left behind:
the offset cancels the model change for any side configuration, so the
rendered position doesn't move at the revival instant, the leftover
exit offset keeps decaying on top, and the velocity stays continuous.
The renderable returns from wherever it is, and the configured entry
side applies only to fresh insertions.

The render pass applies the target frame as the model value before the
insert transition runs, so the framework captures the removal's model
frame at revival and passes it through the insert context as
`revivalFrame`, set only when the insert transition takes over the
removal's residue. The same-side/cross-side takeover distinction is
deleted: the takeover is unconditional and both cases continue through
the same mechanism.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Slide transition revivals now continue from the removal’s current model position. ComposeView passes that position through the insert context. Slide transitions use it for cross-side and same-side revivals, while fresh insertions still use fromSide.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 335f6

The PR makes mid-flight slide revivals continuous across side configurations by anchoring insertion to the removal’s model position. Certain linear timing combinations can still briefly stall as the additive animations cancel velocity, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

Comment thread ComposeUI/Sources/ComposeUI/ComposeView/ComposeView.swift Outdated
The unconditional position takeover keeps the removal's leftover
additive animation on a revival, and the zero-duration path returned
before adding the cancelling insert offset, so the snap rendered the
model change without any compensation: a renderable halfway out at
exit + leftover snapped to target + leftover, the reflection of its
position through the target, then drifted to rest as the leftover
decayed. The previous cross-side behavior reset the residue, so its
zero-duration revival was a clean snap.

A zero-duration revival now removes the taken-over position animations
before applying the end frame, mirroring the opacity transition, which
strips residue before its own zero-duration guard. A delayed
zero-duration revival keeps the composed behavior: continuous through
the delay window, then the scheduled snap applies the target while any
remaining leftover decays out.
The revival anchor was the renderable's frame, a derived measurement
that breaks three ways when captured from a live system: a leftover
non-identity transform inflates the frame to its bounding box, the
AppKit view frame can lag a layer-only position write, and
reconstructing a position from a frame goes through the anchor point,
which an insertion hook can change between the capture and its use.

Capture the root-layer model position instead. The taken-over residue's
additive offsets are relative to that position, so it is the exact
quantity the insertion anchors to, and the layer model position is
unaffected by the transform, the anchor point, and the view/layer
split. The slide insertion now anchors to a start position, derived
from the start frame for a fresh insertion.
The fresh-insertion branch still wrote the start frame to the
renderable, a leftover from when the animation read its start value
back from the layer. The animation now anchors to the precomputed start
position, so the write fed nothing: the model position was overwritten
by the animation's model write in the same call, and the AppKit view
frame write posts a frame-change notification that forces a layout
pass.

Both branches now purely compute the start position, and the insertion
writes the target frame once before animating, matching the opacity
insertion and making the completed-state contract explicit: the model
rests at the target while the animation renders the offset from the
start position.
A takeover matches key paths, not animation shapes: continuing by
composition assumes additive residue, which the built-in transitions
satisfy. The insertion context's revival position is captured before
the render pass applies the target frame, earlier than the content
update. The composed revival motion's quality depends on the timings:
rest-starting curves keep the velocity continuous, an equal-duration
linear pair cancels to a standstill, and strongly mismatched durations
can overshoot. The revival playground page's slide configurations now
revive identically, differing only in their sides.
The residue transitions now hand their insert context to the tests, so
both halves of the framework contract are asserted: a taking-over
revival receives the captured model position (also when the taken-over
residue doesn't animate position), and a reset revival receives none.
A delayed revival pin covers the composition that holds continuity
through the delay window: the leftover stays attached while the
scheduled insert offset holds the revival position through its fill
mode. A hosted end-to-end test verifies the rendered position is
continuous across a mid-flight cross-side revival, sampling the
presentation before and after. The revival unit tests move to the
insert transition section, and the changelog records the revival
behavior change and the new context field.
