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`. Closes #207
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.
vitefor- transpiling typescript
- bundling the final "package" that is useb by the webview
- running a dev server with hot-reloading
- configured with the
vite.config.tsfile in this directory
pnpmfor managing frontend dependency packages
There are a handful of dependency packages that we use directly in the frontend.
picocssfor basic CSS while developinglitfor a simple but powerful wrapper around Web Components
Lastly, there are some dependencies that only benefit development
tsservercomes bundled with vscode and can be used as an LSP with other editors usingtypescript-language-server- Used for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.
- This can be configured with the
tsconfig.jsonfile in the root of the project- NOTE: your configuration should align with the
viteconfig 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.
