| Comment: | 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. |

landings list: clip long titles and drop their markup
A row whose title is the whole message ran fifteen lines down a phone and pushed every other record off the screen. Clipped at the same 72 the timeline uses for this exact string, so the two listings agree on how long a landing's name is. The marks come off too: a title is plain text inside the row's link, so *emphasis* and `code` were printing their delimiters. The detail page still renders the message in full, with its markup — a list says what a record is called, not what it says. check-in: f2d73a8545 user: dmestas tags: trunk | |

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. check-in: 87482c870f user: dmestas tags: trunk | |
