Overview
Comment:landings: the decision row stays one line, the words give way instead

The row grew from three verbs to five as landings learned to update and to land a whole strata. Flex items shrink before they overflow, so on a phone every label folded to three lines AND the leftmost button still ran off the side.

flex:none and nowrap keep each button one line at its own width; below 30rem the labels shorten — Update, Accept, Land x2 — so all five fit without the row breaking. The long forms stay on wider screens.

Reject keeps its word at every width: there is no X in the sprite, and an unlabelled destructive control is worse than a cramped one.

landings: headings scale instead of clipping; the decision row abbreviates

The h1 had no rule at all, so it drew at the browser's 2em on every screen. A real subject line then became three lines of shouting on a phone, which made clipping look necessary — it was not. The clip only hid words: 'permissions without a…' with the rest nowhere. Headings now clamp between 1.35rem and 2rem and wrap, so a long one fits and says the whole thing. The pathological case — no subject line at all, the title IS the body — already drops the visible heading, so nothing depends on the clip any more.

The decision row gains a second step at 22rem: measured at 320, five abbreviated buttons want 364px against 302 of room, and Comment is the widest word left. It has an icon and destroys nothing, so it is the one that loses its label. 'Land the strata (N rungs)' is now 'Land strata (N)' at every width — it was too many words wide as well as narrow.

The strata test pinned that sentence, so a wording change read as a missing control. It now asserts the formaction, which is the contract, and the rung count rather than the sentence around it. check-in: 6469f151c4 user: dmestas tags: trunk
