c87 History Graph
- 2026-09-11: Built the
history-graphnamespace on top ofDonutChart's palette/legend precedent. The mock's black/blue/grey don't map to existing semantic tokens (no true blue token; a literal neutral gray always fails the dataviz validator's chroma floor by construction — that check exists specifically to keep "reads as gray" colors out of categorical data, so the third slot is a validated muted sage rather than literal gray). Landed the stacked-unit algorithm: a shared "nice" unit value keeps the tallest column under the block cap across any range, with auto-fallback to continuous bars past 40 columns (verified against the 60-day fixture) — reusing the same px-per-value scale in both modes so bar mode reads as the continuous version of the same chart, not a different one. Found and fixed two real bugs via Playwright verification against the running dev server: (1) a date-only ISO string ("2026-09-07") parses as UTC midnight, which showed the previous weekday in any timezone behind UTC — fixed by treating bare date strings as local calendar days; (2) resolving series color reactively fromcolorScheme.value(needed since these are literal hexes, notqp()CSS vars) hit the exact SSR/hydration-mismatch caseThemeToggle.vuealready documents — fixed with the samemounted-gated pattern, verified by loading the page fresh with dark mode already stored (not just toggling live). Mark then flagged that columns were stretching to fill wide containers (flex-1on both the columns row and each column) instead of sitting at their natural pictogram size — discussed two options and chose "fixed width that can shrink but never grow" over "always fixed" so a 7-day chart stays compact while a 60-day one still compresses to fit. Landed as an explicit per-formatcolumnWidth(28/24/42px for weekday/day/date) onflex: 0 1 <width>px. Hit a second, subtler bug getting there: the columns wrapper's ownflex-basis: autodidn't reliably resolve to the sum of its children's explicit flex-basis values — a flex item that's itself a flex container doesn't reliably auto-size that way, worse withmin-w-0in play — so columns silently shrank to ~19px with truncated labels even with acres of free space. Fixed by computing the wrapper's own width explicitly (n × columnWidth + gaps) instead of trustingauto. Mark also asked for square (not rounded) blocks and for block size / vertical gap between stacked blocks to be real props rather than baked-in constants — addedblockSize/blockGap(defaults 6px/2px, down from the previous fixed 8px/4px) threaded fromDataHistoryGraphthroughColumntoBlock, with the unit-scaling pitch (blockSize + blockGap) now derived from them instead of a hardcoded 12, and droppedrounded-smfrom both blocks and bar-mode segments. Finally, Mark flagged (with a corrected reference image) that series should render as independent side-by-side lanes per day, not summed into one stacked column — reversing this session's earlier read of the mock. Reworked the scaling to key off the tallest single-series value (not the per-day sum), since lanes no longer share a column's height budget, andColumnnow renders one fixed-width lane per series (flex-col-reverse, its own baseline-aligned stack) inside a centered row, instead of one interleaved stack. Column width now also accounts for the lanes' combined width (seriesCount × blockSize + gaps), not just the label's needs, so charts with more series than a short label can fit don't crowd their lanes. Last, promoted the previously-hardcoded 8px gap between day columns to adayGapprop (default unchanged at 8px) alongsideblockSize/blockGap, replacing the staticgap-2Tailwind class with an inline style bound to the prop. Mark then reportedblockSizecausing "massive top padding" when increased on the demo's slider — root cause was the shareddev/meta/PropsMachine.vuecontrol's range/textv-modellacking a.numbermodifier, so an edited numeric adminProp arrives as a string;Column'spitch = props.blockSize + props.blockGapthen did string concatenation ("16" + 2 -> "162") instead of addition, andareaHeight = maxUnits × "162"re-coerced through multiplication to 972px for a chart that should have been 108px.columnWidth/columnsAreaWidthwere already safe (their+only ever combines two products, which forces numeric coercion first) — fixed the one unsafe line with explicitNumber(...)rather than touching the shared dev tool, which other consumers apparently avoid tripping since they use-/*//on their numeric adminProps, never a bare+. Rounded out the sizing props withlabelSize(default 11px, matching the previous hardcodedtext-11) — the label-driven minimum column width (LABEL_COLUMN_WIDTH) now scales proportionally with it so a bigger label doesn't truncate against a width calibrated for the old fixed 11px. Mark then caught a large empty gap underlegendBelow— the columns wrapper sized itself withflex: 0 1 Xpx, and flex-basis follows the flex container's main axis; togglinglegendBelowswitches that axis from row to column, so the same Xpx (a width) was being applied as a height instead once the layout went vertical. Fixed by usingwidth: Xpxdirectly, which is axis-independent and (via flex-basis:auto falling back to the width property) behaves identically to the old row-mode shrink behavior while also being correct in column mode. Last, linked the legend's label size tolabelSize + 1rather than a hardcodedtext-15.
c85 Chat Transcript
- 2026-09-11: Built the
transcriptnamespace:TranscriptPanel(card shell, turn count, navigator + turn stack, scroll-to-turn),TranscriptNavigator(tick rail with a hover-distance-based flyout, truncation via line-clamp),TranscriptTurn/TranscriptMessage(one bubble per speaker message, right-aligned withUxAvatarfor the user, left-aligned with an inlineAgentPawnfor the agent),TranscriptToolCall(collapsed row → expanded input/content/output monospace block, localexpandedref). Resolved the initial prompt's flaggeditems/itemsnaming collision asparts(message content) vsmessages(turn's speaker groups). Renamed the stale, uncommitted "c85. Phase-2 Pages" entry incycles/CYCLES.mdto this cycle. Verified all four demo states (empty/minimal/typical/overflow) and the tool-call expand + navigator hover interactions via Playwright against the running dev server.
- 2026-09-11 (follow-up): Tightened fidelity to the reference sketch —
entity icon inline at the bubble's bottom corner (was stacked below), monospace
chat/tool-call text, no purple bubble background. Reworked the navigator: no
dead space between tick rows (clicks now target whichever turn currently has
the most cursor-proximity influence, not the exact row under the pointer),
hover fan replaced a per-tick rotate effect with width-only growth (rotation
read as noise, not signal), and centered the rail on the panel's own height via
flex rather than a
translateYtransform (a transform on an ancestor traps aposition:fixeddescendant in that ancestor's box — broke the flyout).TranscriptPanelbecame self-contained:flex flex-col h-full+minHeightprop, internaloverflow-y-autoturn list so the panel (not the page) owns its own scroll —scrollToTurnnow scrolls that container directly instead ofscrollIntoView(), which was also dragging the outer page (and the panel's own header) along with it. Fixed one real layer-gotcha violation found in cleanup:max-w-[560px](arbitrary Tailwind value, unreliably scanned in layer components) → inlinestyle="max-width: 560px".
- 2026-09-11 (design revisions + documentation): Iterated the message
bubble's tail through three techniques before landing: a thin SVG line
(matched the hand sketch's stroke but couldn't read as attached), a
CSS-border triangle glued to the bubble corner (a proper wedge, but
reached for the avatar rather than sitting flush), then Mark's skewed-square
border-trick (ported faithfully — colors read the same
--qp-surface/--qp-strokecustom properties Tailwind'sbg-surface/border-strokeresolve to, since this repo drives theming through those vars rather than adark:class). Fixed a real bug surfaced along the way:flex-row-reversehad user/agent swapped relative to what the bubble's corner-cuts assumed, so identity marks sat on the wrong side of their bubble. Polish pass: thicker/more padded bubbles,shrink-0+ a floor-clearingtranslateYon the identity marks so they don't compress or overlap the tail. SwappedTranscriptPanel'sh-fullformax-h-fullso a short transcript shrink-wraps to content instead of always stretching to fill the ancestor's height —flex-1/min-h-0still caps and scrolls once content exceeds it, no conflict between the two behaviors. Hid the navigator (and its reserved gutter) when a transcript has only one turn, since there's nothing to navigate between. Documented all five components on/componentsvia thedocument-componentsskill: newtranscriptregistry group, one demo file per component (TranscriptPanel's reuses the four/pagesfixtures behind a state toggle), and a Visual-view thumbnail.
- 2026-09-11 (sizing bug): The
max-h-fullshrink-to-fit change above had two real bugs, both found on the doc page (a taller viewport made them obvious). Internal scroll: the scroller'sh-fullsilently grew to content height instead of clamping — amax-height-derived parent size isn't reliably "definite" enough for a nested percentage-height child — so overflow never triggered and content just got clipped by the panel's ownoverflow-hidden. First fix attempt (position: absoluteon the scroller) traded that bug for a worse one: absolutely-positioned content doesn't count toward an ancestor's auto/content-based height, so short transcripts collapsed to just the header. Triedheight: clamp(minHeight, max-content, 100%)next — invalid CSS (max-contentisn't a valid argument insideclamp()/min()/max(), only lengths/percentages are), silently dropped, height fell back to unboundedauto. Landed onmax-h-full(unchanged) paired with a normal in-flowflex-1 min-h-0scroller instead of the oldrelative+ two absolutely-positioned children layout — verified all four fixture states hit the right number (960px capped+scrolling for Typical/Overflow, 480px floor for Minimal/Empty) at a 1600px-tall viewport. Also added amax-width: 640pxwrap on the doc-page demo instance only —TranscriptPanelitself stays unconstrained/fill-width by default.
