Explanation of Change

Replaces the legacy ad-hoc avatar sizes (SMALL_NORMAL, HEADER, LARGE_BORDERED, …) with a linear xxxx-small (12px) → xxxx-large (100px) scale backed by centralized tokens and exhaustive style maps. Unifies how avatar borders are handled.

Visual changes

None - all sizes are pixel-identical. The two spots where new defaults would have differed (subscript border on 100px avatars, workspace avatar radius in RoomHeaderAvatars) keep their old values explicitly. (AttendeesCell's stacked-row container now includes the avatar border in its height for consistency with other stacks — layout-neutral, row height is padding-driven.)

Dead code

Removed HeaderView's 32px SMALL_NORMAL subscript branch — unreachable, since ReportHeader sends all expense-request reports to MoneyRequestHeader first.

Fixed Issues

$ #95598

PROPOSAL:
Coming from this thread

Tests

Refactor mostly without impact for the user, some basic tests:

  1. Open app
  2. Navigate through pages, verify that avatar sizes are the same as on prod/staging.

Offline tests

Same as tests

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

P2 Badge Restore the fallback 32px expense-thread avatar size

When an expense-request thread is opened before its parent report action collection is available, ReportHeader computes isReportTransactionThread(report) as false and mounts HeaderView; ReportHeader does not subscribe to that parent action, while HeaderView does via useParentReportAction, so this component can stay mounted after shouldReportShowSubscript() becomes true. Without the removed isExpenseRequest(report) size override, those direct/deeplinked expense-thread headers render the subscript avatar at the default 40px size instead of the previous 32px size, causing a visible header layout regression. Please keep the 32px mapping here or make the header variant selection reactive to the parent action.

Overall huge fan of this change. It's definitely bit tricky to sort through, so thank you for doing it! Much more orderly now.

This is inconsistent; the previous size avatarSizeSubscript resolved to 20px, while the current size avatarSizeXxxSmall resolves to 16px.
