#56 named 44px and #195 took the page header there. Settings is the
other half of #186 and much the larger one: swept on the reference
device (TLP301, 424x439) with all eleven config-sections expanded,
**120 controls** were under the floor -- not the 93 the issue's table
implies, and config-field is eight of them.
The bulk is behind the disclosures, which is why nobody had counted it:
36 .column-arrow-btn 16x14 <- smallest in the app
29 .column-toggle 16x16
26 shortcut-capture button 80x25
8 download format checkbox 16x16
7 config-field select 335x30
6 wa-input / wa-button 204x20, 185x21
**The density argument, measured rather than guessed, and it is
smaller than it looks.** The rows were already near the floor --
.column-item is 335x36 and .shortcut-row 335x37; it is the controls
*inside* them that were 14-25px. So a control grows into the row it
already occupies and the row goes 36 to 44. Measured after: the two
column lists went 373->447 and 690->850, +234px over the whole page.
Half a screen of extra scroll on a page that already scrolls, against
36 targets of 16x14.
**Settings is cheaper than the header was, and for a stated reason.**
There is no overflow fit on this page, so the header's "only width is
contested" rule does not bind at all and nothing here needs padding
with a negative margin. Height is a min-size, and the two square
controls can simply be square.
Three shapes, because one rule does not fit three kinds of control:
**A native checkbox is targeted through its label.** It cannot grow
its hit area without growing its paint, and a 44px checkbox is not
what anyone wants -- so .column-label is a real <label for> now and
the column's *name* is the target, 70x44 rather than 16x16. That is
the argument config-field already makes one file over ("a real label
association also makes the label text a click target, which is
behaviour, not annotation"), and here it is the whole fix. The
download formats already had the label; they only needed the height.
**The arrows take padding, which is invisible.** They carry
background: none and a transparent border, so 16x14 -> 44x44 changes
nothing anyone can see until hover -- #186's Direction exactly.
**Web Awesome's controls come from the library's own API.** Their
height is decided inside somebody else's shadow root, and
--wa-form-control-height is the variable that decides it. A custom
property inherits through a shadow boundary, so a :host declaration
reaches them; styles/wa-touch-floor.css.ts is that, once, adopted
rather than written at :root in index.css -- a :root rule would be
invisible to the component tier, which renders a component and no page
stylesheet.
**Two controls no sweep can see are fixed by name**, and they are the
trap this issue keeps setting. config-field's toggle has an <input>
that is opacity: 0; width: 0; height: 0, so a walk of every input
skips it as a zero-sized node -- what a finger hits is the <label>,
which measured **34x19**, smaller than anything in either of #186's
tables and absent from both. It is 44x44 with the pill still painted
at 2.5em x 1.4em and negative inline margins keeping it flush with the
inputs above. And shortcut-capture's reset button renders only for a
shortcut somebody has rebound, so a sweep of a fresh install never
meets it.
Verified on the device, same method as the sweep that filed it:
120 controls under the floor before, 42 after. All 42 are accounted
for -- 37 are checkboxes whose labels measure 70x44 and 57x44, four
are wa-input's inner input at 204x**42**, which is the control
measured *inside* its own 1px border (part=base is 238x44), and one is
the skip link, which #186 already ruled out as keyboard-only.
The e2e suite passes, top-bar-fit and header-action-overflow included
-- but that is **chromium**, which is half an answer, and saying so is
the whole of what #195's second commit was about. What can be argued
rather than run: library-filter is the only thing here in a container
that measures itself, and its width did not change. The fit measures
inline size.
Two page-header screenshots are refreshed because they are this
issue's own debris -- #195's taller sort control, merged last session,
with its references never re-recorded. app-sidebar's and
now-playing's are deliberately left: they are unrelated drift, and
blessing an unrelated screenshot is how the sidebar reference came to
still list a destination #27 retired. That is #196.
Measured with Accessibility.getFullAXTree against the running app with
all seven sections expanded: 24 of 93 controls computed an empty name.
Every config-field select and toggle, and all eighteen track-list
column checkboxes, had a <label> sitting right beside them with nothing
associating the two. Now 0 of 93.
Not in the audit, and a11y.6 says why in its own line: it scanned every
<button>, and none of these is one. Same shape as the count that sent
Phase 1 looking for an unnamed sort control — the claim was answering a
narrower question than it reads as.
The fields use `for`/`id` rather than aria-label, for what it buys
beyond the name: the label text becomes a click target for the control.
A fixed id is safe only because each config-field is its own shadow
root.
Two more are named but identify nothing, which is a11y.32's complaint
one page over: three shortcut buttons announced themselves as "S", and
thirty-six column arrows as "Move up".
The contrast pass found two things larger than itself, both recorded as
not-fixed. This is them.
The semantic colours were 'fixed across themes', and one fixed colour
cannot clear 4.5:1 against both a near-black and a near-white surface:
--yj-error measured 2.55:1 on dark's elevated, --yj-info 2.31:1, and
success and warning failed on dark and light both. They are split by the
question they answer. A *fill* is 'what colour is a danger button' --
red in every theme, unchanged -- and a *text* colour is 'what colour is
the word failed on this background', which is now per ramp.
Every fill also carries a computed foreground. White on the default
accent is 1.43:1, and the accent is a colour picker, so no fixed answer
survives it: --yj-accent-fg and the four semantic -fg values are derived
(white if white clears, else black), which keeps a red danger button
white and flips a green or amber one to black. Two accent buttons took
their foreground from --yj-bg-base, which inverts with the ramp -- that
is exactly the white-on-yellow 'Apply (A)' the light theme showed.
Accent used as text gets the same treatment through accentTextOn(),
which mixes along the hue until it clears the ramp's surface and stops.
On both dark ramps it returns the accent unchanged, so the dark themes
are visually untouched by that half.
Measured across three ramps and twelve views: 2237 nodes, 0 failing,
against 110 on dark and 50 on light before. Borders, outlines and
shadows were explicitly kept on the fill token -- a border is not text,
and the first pass of the rewrite moved 30 of them by accident.
