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).
opacity 0.55 → 0.45 and explicit color:var(--fg), matching the
.cal-search-icon treatment so the email chip-bar magnifier reads at
the same muted intensity as the calendar search field.
Bumped header min-height to 60px and padding-top to 8px so the
44px-tall action buttons (absolutely positioned inside the From
row) have room without overflowing the header. From row gets
min-height:44px on desktop so the buttons fit cleanly inside it.
Dropped the now-redundant negative margin nudges on the From row
and the strong label.
Search input gets position:relative;top:-1px so the placeholder text
sits 1px higher inside the chip bar.
AI reply choice popover: drop the '...' kebab and the 'Draft with
note' textarea row entirely. Replace the concentric-circle Full icon
with our standard accent dot (filled 6px circle in viewBox 24).
Pinned .email-reader-actions-inline to absolute top:0 right:0 of the
From row with a gradient fade. When the window narrows the cluster
stays on the From line and the recipient-chips span scrolls under
it, so users can swipe/drag to reveal recipients tucked behind the
buttons instead of seeing From: jump above the action row.
Main button: open cached AI draft if one exists, otherwise generate
a fast draft inline. No more intermediate Fast/Full/Note menu.
Caret on the side opens a focused popover with just a textarea +
Generate button — the user types instructions (e.g. 'thank them and
confirm Tuesday at 2', 'decline politely') and submitting fires the
full-mode generation with those instructions as the noteHint.
- _aiReplySplitButtonHtml(data) centralizes the new HTML so all three
reader render sites use the same markup.
- _showAiReplyChoice rewritten — drops the Fast/Full toggle row plus
the kebab + 'Draft with note' two-step. Ctrl/Cmd+Enter submits.
- _handleAiReplyButton routes based on which inner button was clicked
(caret → popover, main → run-or-open).
- The three reader event registrations now listen on .ai-reply-split
so both inner buttons feed the same handler.
- Desktop (>= 769px): From row gets margin-top -4px so the whole
From + action cluster sits 4px higher in the header.
- Mobile @media block untouched.
- To/Cc gap bumped 4px → 6px for slight breathing room.
Strong labels reserve min-width:36px so the chips after each label
start at the same x — From, To, Cc all line up. Killed the
docked/docpane grid-stack overrides that were splitting label and
chips onto separate rows, since chips already scroll horizontally
inside each row when there are too many.
- Docked: From row + action cluster nudged up 4px
- Chevron pulled 4px left so it sits tight to the From chip
- To/Cc detail block pulled up 8px to hug the From row
- 4px gap between To and Cc rows (was 2px)
Found the culprit — the docked-modal CSS forced .email-reader-meta-row
into a single-column grid, which collapsed the From row into a
vertical stack and pushed the action buttons below it.
Fix:
- Merged the primary + secondary action rows into one flat
.email-reader-actions-inline cluster inside the From row
- Made the cluster flex-wrap so it stays inline when undocked and
wraps below the chip when truly cramped (docked, narrow tab)
- Excluded .email-reader-meta-from from the docked-modal and
narrow-docpane grid-stack rules — those overrides now only
apply to the To/Cc detail rows
Absolutely-positioned 13px search SVG at the left edge of the chip bar
(same circle+line glyph used elsewhere). Bar padding-left bumped 8→26
to leave room. pointer-events:none on the icon so clicks still land
on the input, opacity 0.55 to match other muted prefix icons.
Star → bookmark banner SVG also in the card title row (em.is_flagged
glyph) and the inbox toolbar's _starIcon / _starFilledIcon, so every
favorites affordance matches the chats sidebar bookmark.
Search dropdown gains a third suggestion kind:
- kind: 'email' rows surface emails from the snapshot whose subject or
sender name match the typed term (top 4, scored by startsWith vs
substring). Render row carries a small envelope glyph + bolded
subject + 'from name' on the right.
- Picking one closes the dropdown and expands that exact card via
_toggleCardPreview, scrolling it into view.
Restructured the DOM so the Reply / Reply-all / Forward row lives
INSIDE the email-reader-meta-from div (after the chips span), and
the Summary / AI / More row sits directly below as a sibling of
From inside the meta. Killed the outer email-reader-actions
wrapper that kept letting the buttons drift out of position.
CSS now pushes the primary row right via margin-left:auto on the
From row and right-aligns the secondary row below it.
Reorganized the action cluster into two visible rows so each fits
the available width:
- Top row (on the From line): Reply / Reply-all / Forward
- Bottom row (under it): Summary / AI reply / More
Action cluster goes back to flex-direction:column, the row
wrappers are flex rows again (no more display:contents flatten).
After picking a filter from the dropdown the pill was 'icon + Unread'.
Drop the text — the icon is the affordance — so the pill collapses to
just the glyph + ×. Hover surfaces the friendly label via the title
attribute. Contact + text pills still carry their text label.
align-items: flex-start on the header keeps the action cluster
locked to the From line when the user expands the To/Cc details
— previously it drifted to vertical center as the meta grew taller.
Typing a filter keyword now surfaces the matching filter row in the
autocomplete (each with its existing dropdown icon). Picking one pins
a filter pill and drives the global filter state.
Keyword catalog (_LIB_FILTER_OPTIONS):
- has-attachments ← 'attachment', 'attachments', 'has attachment', 'attach'
- unread ← 'unread', 'new', 'unseen'
- favorites ← 'favorite', 'starred', 'star', 'flagged'
- undone ← 'undone', 'pending', 'todo'
- reminders ← 'reminder', 'reminders'
- unanswered ← 'unanswered', 'unreplied', 'no reply'
- pending_30d ← 'pending 30d', 'pending', 'recent pending'
- stale_30d ← 'stale', 'old', 'stale 30d'
- tag:urgent ← 'urgent', 'critical'
- tag:reply-soon ← 'reply soon', 'reply', 'follow up'
- tag:spam ← 'spam', 'junk'
- tag:newsletter ← 'newsletter', 'newsletters', 'subscriptions'
- tag:marketing ← 'marketing', 'promo', 'promotional'
Filter pill behaviour:
- Only one filter pill is active at a time — adding a new one replaces
any existing filter pill.
- _applyFilterPillSideEffect drives the existing #email-lib-filter
select (or the #email-attach-btn toggle for has-attachments). The
server-side list refetch follows for free via the existing 'change'
handler.
- Removing the filter pill clears the side effect.
Pill render gains the filter icon as a leading glyph; the suggestion
row renders icon + label in the accent colour so it visually reads as
a filter, not a contact.
After the toolbar reshuffle the action block is now two stacked rows
(Summary/More above Reply/Forward/AI), making it taller than the meta
block. The mobile header rule was align-items:center, which then pulled
the From:/To: rows down into the vertical middle of the header — the
'From: is in the middle' symptom. Switch to flex-start so meta sticks
to the top edge where the user expects it.
