Top row keeps Fast / Full + a new horizontal-dots button. Clicking
the dots reveals a textarea ("e.g. reply nicely but say no"); as
soon as text is in it the panel shows Draft fast / Draft full
buttons that pass the note through as noteHint to the AI reply
endpoint. Empty textarea hides the draft buttons so the user only
gets the steered draft when they've actually typed direction.
Firefox mobile rendered the backdrop-filter:blur + var(--panel)
combination on the slide-out sidebar as semi-transparent, so the
chat input bar's selected-model label (e.g. "minimax") was
visible behind the drawer. Force background:var(--panel) and
backdrop-filter:none inside the mobile @media block.
The left-edge gradient fade was likely the source of the perceived
shadow under the icons on mobile. Forced background:none and the
matching padding-left:0 on mobile so the cluster reads as bare
icons without any soft edge.
Was only the date moving — the expanded card had a more-specific
`padding: 4px 0 6px` shorthand on the title row that zeroed out
the padding-left from my earlier nudge. Added the expanded-card
selector to the padding-left:4px rule so the title now lines up
with the meta line in both list and expanded states.
Was using flex-wrap:wrap on the From row, which let the chip span
flip onto a new row below From: when the available width briefly
dropped — then snap back as the chip span's overflow-scroll kicked
in. Switching to flex-wrap:nowrap keeps the label glued to the
chip; the chip span shrinks/scrolls horizontally instead.
In docked mode the header already reserves vertical space for the
absolute action cluster, so the To/Cc details fit without any
height tradeoff — force [hidden] open and hide the chevron toggle
so the recipients are always visible there.
Was From→To = 0 (meta gap 2 + details margin-top 0) while To→Cc
was 6 (details gap). Set details gap to 2 in docked too so all
three meta rows have the same vertical distance. Dropped the
per-row margin-top:4 docked override since spacing now comes
entirely from gaps.
Docked header is flex-direction:column, and the base
align-items:flex-start was sizing the meta to its chip width and
parking it at the left — the absolute cluster's right:0 then
landed at the meta's right edge in the middle of the pane.
align-items:stretch makes meta fill the header width so right:0
hits the actual right edge.
Dropped the docked-specific overrides (cluster flowing below meta,
padding-right:0, header min-height:0). The same container-query
rules drive both: cluster floats top-right and wraps to 2 rows
when the reader width crosses 600px, snaps to overlay below 380px.
Docked pane width is just another container width.
1. Moved the min-height from .email-reader-header to .email-reader-meta
(92px) inside the <600 container query. Targeting the container
itself in its own @container rule was flaky; using a descendant
that affects the parent's intrinsic height works reliably.
2. Dropped the margin-top:0 reset on the cluster in the <380 overlay
rule — that was clearing the base -7px lift and sliding the
cluster ~7px downward at the breakpoint. Now both states use the
same -7px lift so the visual position is stable across the
transition.
Dropped the @media(769px) from-row min-height + align-items:center
and the strong > top:-2px nudge — leftovers from the grid layout
that were forcing extra height and label offsets the block-flow
meta doesn't need.
Consolidated docked overrides into a single flat block (no @media
wrapper) and merged the two .email-reader-meta declarations into
one. Same visual result, much less competing CSS to debug.
When the cluster wraps to 2 rows (44 + 4 gap + 44 = 92px tall), it
was peeking out below the header bottom because min-height stayed
at 60px (only ~44px of cluster room). Bumped min-height to 108px
inside the same <600 container query so the wrapped cluster sits
fully inside the header with 8px breathing room top + bottom.
Replaced the grid layout (which made From row height depend on
cluster height, causing To/Cc to shoot up or down at the wrap
breakpoint) with a plain block stack:
- meta = position:relative block
- From row + details = natural block flow with padding-right
reserving space for the absolute cluster on the right
- cluster = position:absolute top-right, width changes per
container query (308px wide / 158px narrow / 180px overlay)
- padding-right tightens from 320px → 170px → 0 as the cluster
shrinks and finally goes overlay
- details margin-top dropped from -10px to 0 since there's no
grid row gap to compensate for
To/Cc now hugs From with no jumps when the cluster wraps or
overlays.
Removed the medium-mode -12px details margin compensation — it
under/over-shot depending on grid row sizing. Replaced with a
:has() rule: when the user expands To/Cc, the From row gets
min-height 92px (matching the cluster's 2-row max height). Row 1
becomes the same size whether the cluster is 1 row (wide) or 2
rows (narrow), so resizing across the 600px wrap breakpoint no
longer makes To/Cc shoot up 4px.
When the cluster snaps to absolute overlay at <380px, it stops
contributing to grid row sizing — row 1 was collapsing to the From
row's natural height, which made the To/Cc details slide upward and
left the floating cluster visually misaligned against them. Setting
min-height:88px on the From row inside the same container query
holds row 1 at the cluster's two-row height so nothing jumps.
Was fanning out to 3 rows because the 152px max-width (3 icons +
2 gaps exact) had no slack — subpixel rounding could push the
third icon over and trigger another wrap. Bumped to 158px in the
in-grid mode (600px breakpoint) and 180px in the absolute-overlay
mode (380px breakpoint, where the 22px padding-left from the
gradient fade was also eating into the 3-icon row width).
Was wrapping into 4+ rows at narrow widths because the cluster's
grid column could shrink below the 3-icon cap. Set both min-width
and max-width to the 3-icon row width and justify-self:end on the
cluster so the icons stay glued to the right edge instead of
sliding toward the middle when the cluster is wider than its
content.
The 600px / 380px breakpoints were @container docpane queries but
the email reader isn't inside a docpane container — they never
fired and the cluster wrapped to 3+ rows at narrow widths. Added
container-type:inline-size + container-name:emailreader on
.email-reader-header and switched the queries to that container,
so the 2-row cap now actually applies.
Three-step shrink:
1. > 600px pane: cluster sits in col 2 as 1 row of 6
2. 380-600px pane: cluster capped at 3-icon width so wrapping
stops at 3 + 3 (max 2 rows) — chips share width with the 2-row
cluster instead of multiplying into 3+ rows
3. < 380px pane: cluster snaps to absolute overlay with left-edge
box-shadow, still capped at 3-icon width so it's the same 2-row
shape but floating above the truncated chips
Grid tracks now:
- col 1: minmax(60px, 250px) — chip natural width capped at 250px,
with the 60px (4 char) floor enforced on From / To / Cc alike
- col 2: minmax(48px, 1fr) — takes the rest, shrinks first when
the pane narrows
Removed the hard max-width on the action cluster so on wide panes
it stays as one row of 6. Once col 2 shrinks below the 1-row width,
flex-wrap kicks in and the icons re-stack to 3+3. Chips only start
to shrink past that point.
- Action cluster's max-width is calc(48*3 + 4*2) so the 6 icons
always lay out as 3 top / 3 bottom by default.
- When the pane narrows the chips in col 1 shrink first (with 60px
min so 4 chars + ellipsis stay visible).
- At <380px the cluster snaps to absolute overlay with a left-edge
box-shadow so it reads as floating above the truncated chip.
Two-step shrink behavior:
1. As the pane narrows, the action cluster (max-width:50% of meta)
wraps to a 2-row icon stack first
2. Then the recipient chip span starts overflow-scrolling, but
keeps a 60px min-width (~4 chars) so the first chars of the
sender/recipient name stay visible
Previously only the From row affected the action cluster's column
width — To/Cc detail rows spanned both columns and ignored the
cluster. Now:
- meta-details lives in col 1 only so the To/Cc chips shrink
together with the From chip when the pane narrows
- action cluster spans rows 1 and 2 so its width is set by the
widest col-1 content; a long To/Cc list triggers the wrap to a
2-row icon stack just like a long From sender does
Meta switched to CSS grid in undocked mode:
- row 1, col 1: From row (label + chip + chevron)
- row 1, col 2: action cluster
- row 2, span: To/Cc details
The cluster shrinks alongside the chip and flex-wraps into a 2-row
icon stack before crowding the chip. At very narrow pane widths
(< 380px via @container docpane) it snaps back to absolute overlay
so From: still fits.
Docked mode overrides meta back to flex column so the cluster
flows naturally last — under From, and under To/Cc when expanded.
Was rendering as a transparent ghost — From chip / sender text bled
through the gaps between icons. Added a left-fading gradient
backed by var(--bg) so the cluster reads as an opaque overlay
while chips poking out from underneath blend smoothly into its
left edge.
- Window-level recipient-chip click handler now bails if the chip
is inside .email-reader-meta — the per-reader handler still
toggles the expanded-address view on click.
- The from-sender (magnifying glass) search button SVG is now
tinted with var(--accent-primary) so it stands out as a deliberate
search action against the neutral Reply / Forward / etc icons.
Moved the action cluster out of the From row to a sibling of meta
inside .email-reader-meta. Undocked: cluster is absolute-positioned
top-right of the header so it overlays the From line as before.
Docked: cluster is in-flow at the bottom of the meta column, so it
sits below the From row when collapsed and below the To/Cc rows
when the user expands the recipient details via the chevron.
The previous commit read toggleState.mode before it was declared
(send-time site near line 632) and outside its closure (assistant
finalize site near line 3426). Both threw ReferenceError / TDZ on
first send, which crashed the chat send + render pipeline.
Read fresh via Storage.loadToggleState() at each site, defaulting to
'chat' on any error. Mode-tag rendering otherwise unchanged.
Cluster is now in-flow with margin-left:auto and flex-wrap:wrap so
when the chip text grows long enough to crowd it, the buttons split
to a second row of icons before they have to cover the chip. The
absolute-overlay behavior kicks back in at very narrow pane widths
(<380px via @container docpane) so From: still fits on one row when
the pane is truly cramped.
Pulled the From row's negative margin from -8 to -4 so the whole
row (From: label AND chip) sits 4px lower together. Action cluster
below now justifies flex-end so the icons sit at the right edge
of the row instead of left-aligned.
Sometimes the user lands in chat mode without realizing — surface the
mode the message went out on as a small uppercase pill right after the
timestamp in the role header.
- roleTimestamp(when, mode) gains an optional mode arg. Agent renders
in accent; Chat renders in muted/neutral. Other values render
nothing (back-compat for older history without the field).
- The three roleTimestamp call sites pass metadata?.mode through.
- chat.js writes mode into the user-message metadata at send time and
into the assistant metadata when the active-stream render lands,
reading toggleState.mode so research/agent overrides upstream still
flow through correctly.
Historical messages from before this change just don't show the pill —
graceful fallback, no migration needed.
When the modal is docked there's no room to overlay the actions on
the From line. Now:
- From row gets flex-wrap so the action cluster drops to its own
row below the From label + chevron
- Action cluster goes position:static, flex-basis:100%, no gradient
fade, no padding-left, left-aligned
- Whole From row pulled up 8px to claim back vertical space
- Header min-height drops back to 0 since buttons no longer
overlap
Also bumped the gap from From to To/Cc details by 2px (-8 → -6).
