Summary

This PR fixes a bug in the theme hashing mechanism where changes to nested theme sections (light, dark, sidebar, etc.) were being silently ignored. The previous implementation only considered top-level properties when calculating the theme hash, meaning subsection changes wouldn't trigger theme reprocessing on rerun.

Key changes:

1. Added a new sortThemeInputKeys utility function that recursively sorts all object keys for consistent hashing
2. Modified createThemeHash in App.tsx to convert protobuf objects to plain JS objects and use recursive key sorting
3. Changed themeHash initialization from a pre-computed value to an empty string ("") to ensure the first theme input is always processed
4. Added comprehensive unit tests for the new functionality

Code Quality

Strengths

1. Well-structured utility function: The sortThemeInputKeys function is clean, well-documented, and handles edge cases appropriately (null, undefined, arrays, nested objects).

export function sortThemeInputKeys(obj: unknown): unknown {
  if (obj === null || obj === undefined) {
    return obj
  }

  // Handle arrays by recursively sorting their elements
  if (Array.isArray(obj)) {
    return obj.map(item => sortThemeInputKeys(item))
  }

  // Handle objects (including nested theme sections)
  if (typeof obj === "object") {
    const sorted: Record<string, unknown> = {}
    Object.keys(obj)
      .sort()
      .forEach(key => {
        sorted[key] = sortThemeInputKeys((obj as Record<string, unknown>)[key])
      })
    return sorted
  }

  // Return primitives as-is
  return obj
}

2. Clear comments: The changes include helpful comments explaining the purpose and rationale, especially for the themeHash initialization change.

      // Initialize themeHash to empty string to ensure the first processThemeInput
      // call always processes the theme (whether null or custom theme from server).
      // This prevents the bug where a cached custom theme isn't cleared when the
      // server sends null, because null and undefined both hash to the same value.
      themeHash: "",

3. Proper protobuf handling: The use of JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(themeInput)) to convert protobuf objects to plain JS objects is a good approach to ensure only actual data is hashed, not protobuf metadata.

Minor Observations

1. Type safety: The sortThemeInputKeys function uses unknown type which is appropriate, but the return type could potentially be more specific with generics if needed in the future.

Test Coverage

Unit Tests (Excellent)

The test coverage is comprehensive and follows TypeScript testing best practices:

sortThemeInputKeys tests (utils.test.ts):

• ✅ Basic sorting of theme input keys
• ✅ Deeply nested objects
• ✅ Arrays of objects
• ✅ Null and undefined values
• ✅ Mixed types
• ✅ Consistent hashing for same content with different key orders
• ✅ Empty objects and arrays
• ✅ Arrays of primitives (maintains order)
• ✅ Complex nested theme config structures

App.test.tsx theme hash tests:

• ✅ Tests for sidebar config modifications
• ✅ Tests for light section config modifications
• ✅ Tests for dark section config modifications
• ✅ Tests for nested sidebar in light section
• ✅ Tests for unchanged hash (no re-processing)
• ✅ Tests for same content with different key order
• ✅ Tests for null theme clearing cached themes on first session
• ✅ Tests for theme updates when values actually differ

E2E Tests

No new E2E tests were added. Given that this is primarily a bug fix for an internal hashing mechanism, the existing theme E2E tests should continue to work. However, adding an E2E test that specifically validates theme subsection changes trigger proper reprocessing could be beneficial for regression prevention.

Suggestion (optional): Consider adding an E2E test that:

1. Starts an app with a theme subsection (e.g., [theme.sidebar])
2. Modifies the subsection value
3. Reruns the app
4. Verifies the new theme value is applied

Backwards Compatibility

✅ Fully backwards compatible

• No public API changes
• The sortThemeInputKeys function is newly exported but doesn't break existing code
• The behavior change (theme subsections now properly trigger updates) is a bug fix, not a breaking change
• The initialization change from computed hash to empty string is transparent to users

Security & Risk

Security

✅ No security concerns identified

• The changes are purely frontend, dealing with theme configuration
• No user input is processed without proper handling
• The JSON.parse(JSON.stringify()) pattern is safe for the expected input types (theme configs)

Risk Assessment

Low risk - This is a targeted bug fix with:

• Comprehensive test coverage
• No changes to data flow or external APIs
• Limited scope (theme hashing only)

Potential edge case to consider: The JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(themeInput)) approach will:

• Remove undefined values (which become null in JSON)
• Not handle circular references (not expected in theme configs)

This behavior is acceptable for theme configurations, which should only contain JSON-serializable values.

Recommendations

No blocking issues identified. The PR is well-implemented with good test coverage.

Optional improvements (non-blocking):

1. Consider documenting the fix: The PR description is good, but a brief inline comment in createThemeHash explaining why JSON serialization is used to strip protobuf metadata could help future maintainers.

2. E2E test consideration: While unit tests are comprehensive, an E2E test demonstrating the fix (theme subsection change triggers visual update) would provide additional confidence for this specific bug scenario.

Verdict

APPROVED: This is a well-implemented bug fix with comprehensive unit test coverage. The changes are targeted, backwards compatible, and pose minimal risk. The new sortThemeInputKeys utility is clean and properly tested. The fix addresses a real user-facing issue where theme subsection changes were silently ignored.
