fix(ui): the phone's context sheet says when it scrolls
The bottom sheet's body has scrolled since #60 and said nothing about
it. Measured at 424x439, the track list's menu ended at y=470 with the
fold at 439 — reachable, since the body is `overflow-y: auto`, but with
no affordance saying so, and worst where the cut lands on a row
boundary and the sheet ends in a clean edge that reads as the end of
the list.

The cap stays: `menu-surface`'s own comment says a surface covering the
whole screen is a page, not a sheet. What changes is that the body
draws a fade, from two background layers whose *attachments* are the
feature — a shadow pinned to the box (`scroll`) under a cover of the
sheet's own colour painted at the end of the content (`local`), which
scrolls up over the shadow exactly when there is nothing more to see.
So the fade is absent on a menu that fits, present the moment one does
not, and gone again at the end of the list, with no scroll listener and
nothing reaching into `wa-dialog`'s shadow root for the scroller.
`background-attachment` is Chrome 4; the reference device is Chrome 113.

The other two options in the report — a shortened last row, or a max
height that makes the cut obvious — both need `height mod 48`, which
CSS cannot express, and the observed case is exactly the one where the
cut already lands on a row boundary.

The curve is steep rather than linear because the rows under it stay
live: a scrim over a menu item is that item's text surface, so the
4.5:1 rule reaches it, and the light ramp is what makes that real.
A 48px linear scrim at 0.8 greyed the last label to 5.0:1; 32px already
down to a quarter strength at 14px measures 9.9:1 there and spends its
weight on the strip below it.

The test asserts the pair of attachments rather than the pixels, on
this file's existing grounds that no tier here renders like the device
— it fails on the pre-fix stylesheet with `expected 'scroll' to be
'local, scroll'`. The rendered result was measured in the harness and
is recorded in `.planning/NOTES.md`.

YellowJacket Frontend

This directory contains the frontend for YellowJacket.

Dependencies

There are a couple of tools that are required to build and use the frontend.

  • vite for
    • transpiling typescript
    • bundling the final "package" that is useb by the webview
    • running a dev server with hot-reloading
    • configured with the vite.config.ts file in this directory
  • pnpm for managing frontend dependency packages

There are a handful of dependency packages that we use directly in the frontend.

Lastly, there are some dependencies that only benefit development

  • tsserver comes bundled with vscode and can be used as an LSP with other editors using typescript-language-server
    • Used for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.
    • This can be configured with the tsconfig.json file in the root of the project
      • NOTE: your configuration should align with the vite config so you get in-editor feedback that aligns with how the build will be done.

Development

Ideally, you would use the frontend in the wails app as the frontend depends on the Go bindings generated by Wails. You can do this by running wails dev in the root of the YellowJacket repo.

If you want to run the frontend standalone, make sure the Wails go bindings have been generated with wails generate modules. Then, you can run pnpm dev to run the vite dev server. For more information on what commands are available, refer to package.json.

Code

Web Components

Our frontend is based off of Web Components, a standard that provides native browser encapsulation of components that can include HTML, CSS and Javascript all together. Instead of writing these components manually in Javascript, we utilize lit as a wrapper library.

Typescript

To better integrate with our tooling and to provide a better developer experience with strong typing, we have written all functional frontend code in Typescript. Vite serves as our Typescript transpiler.

Important Files and Directories

NOTE: most of these directories have aliases defined in tsconfig.json and vite.config.ts so that we may refer to them by shorthand when importing.

  • index.html and index.js is the entrypoint for the frontend. The first page that loads.
  • wailsjs/go Go code bindings generated by wails reside here
  • wailsjs/runtime the Wails runtime code needed to use Wails features
  • src all app code resides here
  • src/assets static assets like fonts, images and icons
  • src/components lit components that are used to compose the application
  • src/pages pages that serve as other entrypoints for the application that can be navigated to
