YPE-1219 - feat(ui): add language search to BibleVersionPicker

[Dustin-Kelley]

Summary

• Add a bottom search input to the BibleVersionPicker language panel that globally filters available languages by id, language name, and display names
• Show a no-results empty state when the query matches nothing, and hide Suggested/All tabs while searching
• Clear language search when navigating back to versions, closing the popover, or selecting a language
• Add en/es/fr i18n strings, unit tests, and a Storybook integration story

Screen.Recording.2026-06-24.at.9.24.38.AM.mov

Test plan

• pnpm --filter @youversion/platform-react-ui test -- bible-version-picker.test.tsx
• Storybook: LanguageSearch story — filter matches, empty state, tab hiding
• Manual: open Bible version picker → language panel → search (e.g. "span") → verify filtered results
• Manual: search with no matches → verify empty state copy
• Manual: back to versions / close popover / select language → verify search clears

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a bottom-anchored search input to the BibleVersionPicker language panel that globally filters languages by id, name, and display names, with a loading spinner, a no-results empty state, and automatic clearing on back-navigation, popover close, or language selection.

• BibleLanguagePickerContent gains a controlled Tabs component (preserving the selected tab across searches), a LanguageRow sub-component, and a useEffect that resets search when the open prop goes false for RN/Expo standalone consumers.
• The Root context is extended with languageSearchQuery, filteredLanguages, isLoadingLanguages, closeLanguagePanel, and resetLanguageSearch; isLoadingLanguages gates the empty state so it doesn't flash while language data is fetching.
• Six new unit tests cover the full search lifecycle; existing story selectors are migrated from getByPlaceholderText to role-based queries.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Safe to merge after resolving the duplicate i18n keys in en.json and adding the missing translations to es.json and fr.json.

The language search logic, state management, and reset lifecycle are correctly implemented and well-tested. The locale files have two issues: en.json now has two copies of noLanguageSearchResults and languageSearchAriaLabel (the base branch had them at lines 4–5 and this PR re-adds them at lines 46–47), and es.json/fr.json are missing all three new keys despite the PR description stating those translations were included.

packages/ui/src/i18n/locales/en.json (duplicate keys), packages/ui/src/i18n/locales/es.json and fr.json (missing new translation keys)

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
packages/ui/src/components/bible-version-picker.tsx	Core feature file — adds language search state, filtering logic, LanguageRow component, and search input UI; controlled Tabs preserves tab selection; loading/empty states handled correctly
packages/ui/src/i18n/locales/en.json	Duplicate JSON keys introduced: noLanguageSearchResults and languageSearchAriaLabel already existed in the base branch at lines 4–5 and are re-added at lines 46–47 by this PR
packages/ui/src/i18n/locales/es.json	Unchanged but missing the three new i18n keys (noLanguageSearchResults, languageSearchAriaLabel, versionSearchAriaLabel); PR description claims es/fr translations were added
packages/ui/src/i18n/locales/fr.json	Unchanged but missing the three new i18n keys; same gap as es.json
packages/ui/src/components/bible-version-picker.test.tsx	Comprehensive new tests for language search filtering, empty state, loading state, tab preservation, and clear-on-navigate; mock setup updated to support loading flags
packages/ui/src/components/bible-version-picker.stories.tsx	New LanguageSearch integration story added; existing stories updated to use aria-label selectors instead of placeholder text
.changeset/bible-version-picker-language-search.md	Minor changeset for @youversion/platform-react-ui; correctly categorised as a new feature

   Reset standalone close

   BibleLanguagePickerContent accepts an open prop, but this component never observes open === false. Standalone SDK integrations that render this exported content directly can close and reopen the language panel with the previous languageSearchQuery still applied, so the panel reopens filtered or in the empty state instead of clearing on close.

   **Reset standalone close**
   
   `BibleLanguagePickerContent` accepts an `open` prop, but this component never observes `open === false`. Standalone SDK integrations that render this exported content directly can close and reopen the language panel with the previous `languageSearchQuery` still applied, so the panel reopens filtered or in the empty state instead of clearing on close.
   
   How can I resolve this? If you propose a fix, please make it concise.

Sorry for this. please fix storybook tests.

Copilot told me:

I'll retrieve the logs for the failing job and identify the issue.Now let me get the workflow file and the relevant story files to understand the issue better:## Solution for Failing Job 83279524227

The test failures are caused by ambiguous element queries when multiple search inputs exist on the page. The error occurs in 4 Storybook integration tests:

Root Cause: Multiple "Search" placeholders are rendered simultaneously (language search + version search), causing getByPlaceholderText('Search') to fail with "Found multiple elements with the placeholder text of: Search".

Fixes Required

1. In bible-card.stories.tsx (line 140) - WithVersionPicker story:

Change from using generic placeholder selector to scoping within the dialog:

// Before (line 140):
const searchInput = within(await screen.findByRole('dialog')).getByPlaceholderText('Search');

// After - use more specific selector or scope properly:
const dialog = await screen.findByRole('dialog');
const searchInputs = within(dialog).getAllByPlaceholderText('Search');
const searchInput = searchInputs[searchInputs.length - 1]; // Use the last/version search input

Or better yet, add a data-testid to the version search input in the component and use:

const searchInput = within(await screen.findByRole('dialog')).getByTestId('version-search-input');

2. In bible-version-picker.stories.tsx (lines 361, 460, 507) - Multiple stories:

Replace all instances of:

const searchInput = screen.getByPlaceholderText('Search');

With either:

// Option A: Use testid (requires adding testid to component)
const searchInput = screen.getByTestId('version-search-input');

// Option B: Use getAllByPlaceholderText and disambiguate
const searchInputs = screen.getAllByPlaceholderText('Search');
const searchInput = searchInputs.find(el => el.getAttribute('aria-label')?.includes('Search versions')) 
  || searchInputs[searchInputs.length - 1];

Recommended Implementation

The cleanest solution is to add data-testid attributes to search inputs in your component source files, then update the stories to use those testids instead of relying on placeholder text selectors.

Source files affected:

• bible-card.stories.tsx
• bible-version-picker.stories.tsx
