logan 4f7529c315 test(queue): pin the panel's mouse model, and bound the highlight
Single click selects, ctrl and shift extend, double click plays from
that row — all four already worked, and nothing in either tier pinned
any of them, which is why the report could be made and could not be
settled. `queue-reorder.spec.ts` covers the keyboard and
`queue-overlay.spec.ts` the panel's mode; the pointer path had no
coverage at all, so "selection is broken here" and "selection is fine
here" were equally consistent with a green suite.

Measured with real mouse events rather than dispatched ones, because a
synthetic click aimed at the row bypasses the only thing that could be
swallowing it: click row 1 selects 1, ctrl+click 4 gives 1 and 4,
shift+click 7 extends to 1,4,5,6,7, a plain click collapses to one, and
a double click on row 3 leaves the backend playing row 3.

The three candidates the issue lists are all answered. The repaint was
already correct, and already correct on the day the issue was filed.
`resolveTrackIndexFromEvent` reads data-index, and DOM order matches
data order. A row control does swallow the click — `explore-link` stops
propagation on purpose, so a click on a name navigates and selects
nothing — but a hit-scan across a row makes the queue 12% link against
the track list's 21%, so the panel called broken is *less* covered by
links than the list called correct. That measurement killed the fix
this started out as.

Two traps are written into the spec because both faked a defect while
measuring. Fixture tracks are 2 seconds, so "double click row 3" read a
moment later reports whatever auto-advance moved on to — recorded twice
as an off-by-one that is not one, which is what `LONG_TRACK` exists
for. And the selection assertions are bounded at 500ms rather than
polled with the default 5s: `queue-panel` repaints two ways, the
explicit `requestUpdate()` and a per-render `keyFunction` arrow, and
with *both* removed the highlight still arrives — at 134ms, 3.9s and
5.8s against 5-17ms healthy. Four seconds is indistinguishable from
broken to a user and invisible to a generous poll.

Mutation-tested rather than trusted: `playAtIndex(index + 1)` fails both
double-click tests, treating every click as ctrl+click fails both
selection tests, and removing both repaint mechanisms fails all three
selection tests — the last only because of the bound.

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
