This PR fixes the "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error that occurs when executing subtasks in RooCode.

Problem

The issue was caused by passing JSX elements with children to the Trans component's components prop. When the translation string also contained the same tags (e.g., <code>), it created infinite recursion during the interpolation process in react-i18next.

Solution

Changed all Trans components in ChatRow.tsx to use self-closing tags (e.g., <code />) instead of tags with children (e.g., <code>{value}</code>) in the components prop. This prevents the infinite recursion while maintaining the same functionality.

Changes Made

  • Modified 5 Trans component instances in webview-ui/src/components/chat/ChatRow.tsx
  • All changes involve replacing <code>{variable}</code> with <code /> in the components prop
  • The values are still properly interpolated through the values prop

Testing

  • All existing tests pass successfully
  • No new tests were needed as this is a bug fix that doesn't change functionality
  • Manually verified that the Trans components still render correctly

Fixes #6937


Important

Fixes infinite recursion in Trans components in ChatRow.tsx by using self-closing tags in components prop to prevent call stack errors.

  • Behavior:
    • Fixes infinite recursion in Trans components in ChatRow.tsx by using self-closing tags in components prop.
    • Prevents "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error when JSX elements with children are passed.
  • Changes Made:
    • Modified 5 instances of Trans in ChatRow.tsx to use <code /> instead of <code>{value}</code>.
    • Values are still interpolated through the values prop.
  • Testing:
    • All existing tests pass.
    • Manually verified correct rendering of Trans components.

Reviewing my own code is like debugging in a mirror - everything looks backwards but the bugs are still mine.

Good fix! The change from <code>{value}</code> to <code /> correctly prevents the infinite recursion. However, have you checked if there are other Trans components in the codebase that might have the same pattern? A quick search for similar patterns across the codebase would ensure we've caught all instances of this issue.

Consider adding a comment here explaining why self-closing tags must be used instead of tags with children. Something like:

Suggested change
components={{ code: <code /> }}
// Note: Use self-closing tags in components prop to prevent infinite recursion
// when translation strings contain the same tags (e.g., <code>)
components={{ code: <code /> }}

This would help prevent future developers from reintroducing this issue.

While the existing tests pass, would it be worth adding a specific test case that would have caught this infinite recursion bug? This could help prevent regression in the future.

This seems to be a reasonable fix but it would be great to figure out consistent repro steps for the issue to properly test this solution
