On the reference device every context menu in the app is clipped, and the two halves of that are structural rather than incidental. Chrome 113 has no Popover API, so wa-popup takes its own documented fallback and positions with strategy: "fixed"; .main-panel carries contain: layout style paint, and paint containment clips fixed descendants. Measured at 424x439 before any of this: the main panel spans 0-318, the open menu spanned 191-401, and three of its seven items were cut off with no way to reach them. Rows were 29px against a 44px floor. menu-surface is one element with two presentations -- a wa-popup above 600px, a wa-dialog bottom sheet below it -- so the host keeps rendering the panel it always rendered and ContextMenuController keeps driving .active and .anchor as though it were talking to a popup. showModal() is Chrome 37 and uses the real top layer, so the sheet is immune by construction rather than by styling. Four things needed measuring on the hardware rather than reading. "A dialog escapes containment" was the premise and was untested here: every other dialog in this app is mounted in index.html, outside .main-panel. A probe dialog appended to track-list's shadow root paints to y=439, over the mini player and the tab bar. A native dialog's UA stylesheet centres it and caps its width, which drew a 354px panel in the middle of a 424px screen -- so four declarations in this component are pure undoing. wa-dialog focuses [autofocus] or itself on the frame after showModal(), and it cannot see our first menu item to prefer it: the panel is slotted, so its own querySelector stops at the <slot>. A longer retry budget does not fix that, because the first attempt succeeds and is then overwritten -- hence menu-shown and MenuKeyboard.refocus(). The budget became time-based anyway, since what is being waited for is another component's animation. And a dismissal has to travel back: wa-dialog closes itself on Escape, which would leave the controller believing the menu is open. The failure mode there is not a stuck sheet but the *next* long-press doing nothing, which reads as the gesture breaking.
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.
