rfc 0009: CI — verdicts on landings, spec, premerge, runners closed check-in: 56d87626d9 user: dmestas tags: ci-rfc

settings: saving no longer empties the page

The description form rendered the settings page from seven fields of its own while the GET built a dozen panels, so Save returned a page with everything below the form gone — and a stray h1, because the POST also missed HideH1. Two symptoms, one cause: the same page assembled in two places.

There is one builder now, and the successful save REDIRECTS, as every other settings POST already did. That leaves the saved state in one place, so the two cannot disagree again and a reload does not re-submit. The refusal path still comes back holding what the reader typed — now over the whole page rather than a fragment of it.

Verified: after a save the page is byte-equivalent to the GET but for the Saved flash, with all nine panels present. check-in: d2368f6a92 user: dmestas tags: trunk

a segmented control never breaks mid-way; the tools beside it move

Squeezed on a phone, the tracker's state filter dropped its last choice onto a line of its own — '99 All' under '30 Open | 69 Closed' — which reads as a stray button rather than as part of the set. The control now keeps its line whole and comes first, because it is how a reader says what they are looking at; the tool groups beside it wrap instead.

The landings list is unchanged: one icon fits beside its filter, so that row still holds one line. check-in: 87f42420b7 user: dmestas tags: trunk

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: 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

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

landings: no headline where the author wrote none

A record only HAS a headline when its author wrote one — a subject line, a blank line, then the body. Written without that, the whole message is the title, and clipping it to 72 invented a headline the author never wrote, then ended it in an ellipsis that says data is hidden when the same words are in full directly below.

The visible heading now goes for that shape: the chips and the message carry the record, and the sr-only h1 keeps the page named. A record that does have a subject line still shows it. check-in: 2dccc0cb5f user: dmestas tags: trunk

landings: the record shows its whole message, and the heading shows no markup

Two faults from one cause. A message written with no blank line has no prose under the header at all — zit put the whole thing in the title card. So clipping the heading dropped 290 of 362 characters with nowhere left to read them, and the record rendered no description. The opener now falls back to the title, rendered like any other body, which is also the only way its Markdown ever reaches a reader.

The heading drops the marks instead: an h1 is plain text, so *emphasis* arrived as literal asterisks and read as a rendering bug. Asterisks and backticks only — _x_ in prose and my_file_name in a path are the same three characters, and mangling every identifier to italicise a rare one is the worse trade. check-in: db743a90a0 user: dmestas tags: trunk

13:07
landings: the heading is a headline, not the whole message

zit puts the entire -m message in the record's title card, so a message written without a subject line arrives as one 400-character 'line' that firstLine returns whole — an h1 that fills a phone screen before the record says anything about itself.

Clipped at the same 72 the timeline already uses for this exact string, so the two agree on what a landing is called. Nothing is lost: the opener's full text renders immediately below as the description. check-in: ff1cfd1aa9 user: dmestas tags: trunk

web: the repository tabs read as labels, not as route names

Files, Timeline, Tickets, Docs, Landings, Forum, CI, Chat — and Repositories/People on the home tabs. CI is spelled, not capitalised: a text-transform would have rendered it Ci.

navlink matches the active tab on its section argument, so the label was only ever display text. check-in: 5a07f20dd6 user: dmestas tags: trunk

10:54
Doc tabs: keep the URL on the tab you are reading

Switching README to LICENSE swapped the panel and left the address bar behind, so the tab on screen was unlinkable and a reload dropped you back on README — even though /r/REPO?doc=LICENSE has always been a real route, and the anchor was already carrying it as its href.

Moves the tabs onto syncurl, which corrects the address bar to that same href before fetching the fragment. check-in: c2775268a4 user: dmestas tags: url-sync-doctabs

10:52
One definition of swap-the-body-and-fix-the-URL

The diff toggle carried the replaceState handler as literal text in two attributes, with the reasoning in a comment above them. Both move onto a syncurl helper, so the next surface that needs it gets the try/catch and the replaceState-not-pushState choice for free instead of by copy-paste. Emitted markup is unchanged.

The helper neutralizes quotes in the fragment URL: it lands inside a JS string inside an attribute built as HTMLAttr, where escaping is off. check-in: 058a2216c9 user: dmestas tags: url-sync-helper
