P1 previewMode resets on every background files refetch

Adding files to this effect's dependency array means that whenever the useWorkspaceFiles query refetches (e.g., on window focus, network reconnect, or after any mutation like a rename/upload/delete), the effect re-runs and resets previewMode to the file's default. A user who manually switches from preview to editor mode will silently have their preference discarded on the next background data refresh.

The original code only had [selectedFileId] as a dependency, which is the correct intent — the mode should only reset when the user navigates to a different file.

The simplest fix is to exclude files from the dependency array with a suppression comment explaining the intent:

Suggested change
}, [selectedFileId, files])
}, [selectedFileId]) // intentionally excluding `files` — previewMode should only reset when the selected file changes, not on every refetch

If the lint warning is a concern, you can capture files in a ref that does not trigger the effect:

const filesRef = useRef(files)
useEffect(() => { filesRef.current = files }, [files])

useEffect(() => {
  // ...
  const file = selectedFileId ? filesRef.current.find((f) => f.id === selectedFileId) : null
  // ...
}, [selectedFileId])


useEffect(() => {
if (!selectedFile) return
