+# Mobile Optimization PR - Risk Assessment
+
+## Overview
+This PR optimizes mobile chat and keyboard mechanics. Below is a risk assessment and explanation of design decisions.
+
+## Potential Risks & Mitigations
+
+### ✅ LOW RISK - Keyboard Detection Changes
+**Risk**: The renamed `useIOSKeyboard` → `useMobileKeyboard` hook might behave differently
+**Mitigation**: 
+- Maintains backward compatibility with iOS
+- Adds Android support with fallback detection
+- Uses same visualViewport API with improved thresholds
+- Tested thresholds (150px) prevent false positives
+
+### ✅ LOW RISK - Composer Positioning
+**Risk**: Transform calculations might cause layout shifts
+**Mitigation**:
+- Uses smooth transitions (200ms ease-out)
+- Accounts for safe area insets (20px offset)
+- Only applies when keyboard is actually visible
+- Uses `requestAnimationFrame` for smooth updates
+
+### ⚠️ MEDIUM RISK - Body Scroll Prevention
+**Risk**: Making body `position: fixed` could break:
+- Dropdowns/modals that need document scroll
+- Third-party components
+- Browser extensions
+
+**Mitigation**:
+- Only applied on mobile (`@media (max-width: 768px)`)
+- Dropdowns use absolute positioning relative to parents (verified)
+- No modals found in codebase that would be affected
+- App container handles all scrolling internally
+
+**Recommendation**: Test dropdowns (RepoPicker, UserAvatarDropdown) on mobile after merge
+
+### ⚠️ MEDIUM RISK - Pull-to-Refresh Disabled
+**Why we disabled it**: 
+- Pull-to-refresh on mobile browsers can interfere with chat scrolling
+- Users might accidentally trigger refresh when trying to scroll up
+- Can cause layout jumps when keyboard is open
+
+**What we actually did**:
+- Changed from `overscroll-behavior-y: none` on body (too aggressive)
+- Now only prevents pull-to-refresh within scroll containers (`overscroll-behavior-y: contain`)
+- Page-level pull-to-refresh still works if needed
+- This is a common pattern for chat apps (Slack, Discord, etc.)
+
+**Risk**: Users might expect pull-to-refresh to work
+**Mitigation**: 
+- Only disabled within conversation scroll area
+- Page-level refresh still works
+- Common UX pattern for chat interfaces
+
+### ✅ LOW RISK - Font Size Changes
+**Risk**: `font-size: 16px !important` might override intentional styling
+**Mitigation**:
+- Only applied to `textarea` (composer input)
+- Prevents iOS zoom-on-focus (required for good UX)
+- Other inputs not affected
+- iOS requires ≥16px to prevent auto-zoom
+
+### ✅ LOW RISK - Viewport Height Changes
+**Risk**: Using `100dvh` might not work on older browsers
+**Mitigation**:
+- Added fallback with `-webkit-fill-available`
+- Uses `@supports` queries for progressive enhancement
+- Desktop unaffected (uses standard `100vh`)
+
+### ✅ LOW RISK - Touch Target Sizes
+**Risk**: `min-height: 44px` might break existing button layouts
+**Mitigation**:
+- Only applied to buttons without `.no-min-size` class
+- Can be opted out if needed
+- Follows iOS/Android accessibility guidelines
+
+## Testing Recommendations
+
+Before merging, test on:
+1. ✅ iOS Safari (iPhone)
+2. ✅ Android Chrome
+3. ✅ Dropdowns (RepoPicker, UserAvatarDropdown) - verify they still work
+4. ✅ Keyboard open/close transitions
+5. ✅ Scrolling behavior when keyboard is open
+6. ✅ Composer positioning
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If issues arise:
+1. Revert `body { position: fixed }` in mobile media query
+2. Remove `overscroll-behavior-y: contain` from scroll containers
+3. Keep keyboard detection improvements (they're safe)
+
+## Summary
+
+**Overall Risk Level**: LOW-MEDIUM
+
+The changes are generally safe because:
+- Most changes are mobile-specific and won't affect desktop
+- Dropdowns use relative positioning (not affected by body fixed)
+- Keyboard detection improvements are additive
+- Viewport changes have fallbacks
+
+**Main concern**: Body scroll prevention could theoretically affect future modals/overlays, but current codebase has none.
+
+**Recommendation**: ✅ Safe to merge with mobile testing
