fix(ui): raise the last controls below the touch floor
The rest of #186's second table, and one thing it could not have said. .section-toggle 187x15 autotag .folders-menu-trigger 32x18 autotag .back-button 32x32 artist-details Requests / Downloads tabs 85x34, 96x34 .search-mode-tab 89x26, 79x26 explore explore search input 325x18 in a 36px box **back-button was six controls, not one.** The issue names it in artist-details because that is the view the sweep opened; the same declaration is byte-identical in artist-details, genre-details, playlist-details, smart-playlist-details, explore-artist-details and explore-album-details, 32px in all six. So it is styles/back-button. css.ts now, adopted by each, and a source sweep fails on a seventh copy -- because the failure this invites is not a size changing, it is somebody adding a detail view and writing `.back-button` out again, which no device sweep would catch for the same reason this one did not. That is icon-language.test.ts's shape, and the argument for it here is the inverse of the column arrows': one declaration covering 36 controls is cheap to fix, and six declarations of one control are six chances to miss five. It is a real 44px box rather than padding with the width handed back: a detail header runs no fit pass, and this button has a visible background, so a hit area larger than the circle would be a control bigger than it looks. The size is #55's, reached there for the same reason -- "the way out is 44px on a phone". **The explore search box was two faults.** The row was 36px *and* the input inside it was 18, so eight pixels at each edge were not a target at all: a tap near the top of the box landed on the container and did nothing. The container is 44 and the input stretches to it. **The Downloads tabs take padding rather than a min-size**, because the mark for the selected tab is its bottom border -- a min-size centres the label and leaves the underline 10px beneath it. page-action-check-now (113x29) is in that table and is not here: it is a PageAction, so #195 raised it with the rest of the header's actions and touch-targets.test.ts already covers it. **The Downloads tabs needed a min-size as well as the padding, and CI is what said so.** Padding alone made them 44px on this machine and **43px in the container**: the total is 13 + 13 + 2 + whatever line box the font gives 13px text, and ubuntu:24.04's is a pixel shorter than Arch's. A height computed from a font's line box is not a height you control -- which is #195's "stated as a property on the strength of one engine" one layer down, in the same PR that recorded it. The padding stays, because it is what keeps the underline against the label; the min-size is the floor. Caught by the new test rather than by a person, which is the half of this that worked. Verified on the device, sweeping each view the way the issue was filed: explore, downloads, autotag and artist-details now report **one** control under the floor apiece, and it is the skip link, which #186 already ruled out as keyboard-only. .search-mode-tab 89x44 and 79x44, the search input 325x44, the Downloads tabs 85x44 and 96x44, .section-toggle 174x44, .folders-menu-trigger 44x44, .back-button 44x44. All 12 new tests fail on main, the source sweep naming all six copies. make ui-test 1041 pass; make e2e 236 pass on chromium, which is half an answer -- CI had the other half, and used it. Closes #186 |

fix(settings): raise every Settings control to the touch floor
#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. |
