Fourteen call sites, one tag name each and nothing else -- which is what menu-surface's shape buys: the host's panel is slotted into whichever presentation is up, so no item model, no keyboard model and no styling moved. The 48px rows come from contextMenuStyles, the one stylesheet every one of these hosts already includes, because the panel is the host's own light DOM and only the host's stylesheet can reach it. Two of the fourteen were found by the source sweep rather than by the conversion: queue-panel's add-to-playlist popup, which is a real menu. now-playing's cover preview is allowlisted instead -- it is a hover affordance in the bottom bar, so a touch device never opens it and nothing clips it. The playlist submenu had to come too, and that is the one place this change made something worse before it made it better. It is a placement="right-start" flyout anchored to its row, and making the menu full-width moved that anchor to x=0 -- so the flip put the picker at x -182 to 0, entirely off-screen, and "Add to Playlist" led nowhere at all. Before the change the row started at x~245 and the same flip landed on screen. It is a sheet now and stacks over the first, which is also why menu-shown does not re-assert focus while it is open. The three hosts that do not use ContextMenuController -- page-header's overflow menu, playlist-view's hand-rolled menu, queue-panel's picker -- bind menu-dismiss themselves, or Escape would close the sheet and leave their own open flag set. page-header is included deliberately: the clipping does not bite there, since it opens downward from the top of a full-height view, but on a phone every action of an overflowing page lives in that menu at wa-dropdown-item defaults. One surface, so there is no second answer to what a menu looks like.
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.
