 ## Grouped rendering
 
-Chat registers its process Group Definition through `uiConversation.groups`. React renders the mixed `node`/`group` root sequence through stable Group and Node seats; group headers subscribe to data separately from member arrays. [Process-group business rules](src/client/conversation-nodes/README.md#process-grouping) define segmentation and activity summaries.
+Chat registers its process Group Definition through `uiConversation.groups`. React renders the mixed `node`/`group` root sequence through stable Group and Node seats; group headers subscribe to data separately from member arrays. Settled group titles remain independent of the live-detail preference; only running titles update when that preference changes. [Process-group business rules](src/client/conversation-nodes/README.md#process-grouping) define segmentation and activity summaries.
 
 `groupPart` selects reasoning or response in the Assistant renderer without copying Node payloads. Each part has a distinct DOM anchor for reading-position restoration; Turn navigation addresses the original Node key and lands on its first visible part. Group sources, member parents, and keys survive display-mode changes and newly loaded prefixes that extend an intact group. The source Node Store remains the only Node-data owner, and a replaced Builder rebinds keyed subscriptions without remounting seats. Mode changes retain size observers and reuse the Turn-state selector.
 
 The process group uses a stable `div` layout box, a scroll body, and an uncapped content box that reports growth inside the body. Business styles must adapt spacing within and across groups, including hidden or empty members and the answer-spacing exception. CSS variables do not belong in the Group Definition.
 
+Scroll-edge fades initialize when `ResizeObserver` reports the open group's layout; opening the group performs no immediate scroll-dimension read in a layout effect.
+
 Each group owns local `useDisclosure` state that survives mode changes while its component stays mounted.
 
 The Chat-node slot injects a reset-bound `useDisclosure` Hook for reasoning and tools. Intermediate renderers forward it without subscribing; each invocation owns independent open state. When an enclosing Turn actually hides a process member, its seat resets those disclosures without replacing component keys or changing the Hook reference. Display-mode changes preserve their open state.

 ## 分组渲染

+Chat 通过 `uiConversation.groups` 注册过程 Group Definition。React 通过稳定的 Group 与 Node 容器渲染混合 `node`/`group` 根序列，组头数据与成员数组分别订阅。已结束组的标题独立于实时详情偏好，只有运行中的标题在该偏好变化时更新。[过程分组业务规则](src/client/conversation-nodes/README.zh.md#process-grouping) 定义切分方式与活动摘要。
 
 `groupPart` 在 Assistant 渲染器中选择推理或回复，不复制 Node 载荷。每个部分有独立的 DOM 锚点用于恢复阅读位置；轮次导航使用原 Node key，落到它的第一个可见部分。展示模式切换以及为完整旧组补入更早成员时，保留组来源、成员父级及 key。原 Node Store 仍是唯一节点数据所有者，替换 Builder 时重新绑定按键订阅，不重挂载容器。模式变化保留尺寸观察器，并复用整轮状态选择器。
 
 过程组使用稳定的 `div` 布局盒子、滚动正文及不限高的内容盒子，后者报告正文内部的内容增长。业务样式必须适配组内及组边界间距，处理隐藏或空成员以及回答前的间距特例。CSS 变量不属于 Group Definition。
 
+滚动边缘渐隐在 `ResizeObserver` 报告已展开组的布局后初始化；展开组时不会在 layout effect 中立即读取滚动尺寸。
+
 每个组拥有本地 `useDisclosure` 状态，组件保持挂载时，模式切换保留该状态。
 
 Chat 节点 slot 为推理与工具注入绑定重置来源的 `useDisclosure` 钩子。中间 renderer 只透传、不订阅，每次调用拥有独立展开状态。外层轮次实际隐藏过程成员时，所在节点重置这些开合状态，不替换组件 key，也不改变钩子引用。展示模式切换保留展开状态。
