The queue's pixels were already right. Measured at the reference device's 424x439, #24's overlay is 424x318 -- `.main-panel`'s rect exactly -- so the `DETAIL_LOADERS` mount the issue's Direction asks for would draw the same rectangle in the same place. What was missing was the navigation model: opening the queue on Artists and pressing back moved the page *underneath* to Albums and left the queue up, which is a press that changes something the user cannot see and costs them their place. So the queue is a *place* exactly while it is an overlay, and a *control* while it is a column. A column is a thing the user docked -- back must not undock it and a navigation must not take it away -- and that reuses #24's computed mode rather than adding a breakpoint, so the drag-resizable panel width keeps deciding it. It is in neither `VIEW_TAGS` nor `DETAIL_LOADERS`, because there is nothing to mount and moving it would cost something. `.main-panel > *` computes `contain: content` under a `.main-panel` that does too, and paint containment clips the `position: fixed` a `wa-popup` falls back to on Chrome 113 (#60) -- so the detail-view mount would have broken `queue-panel`'s working context menu on the one device this is about. The panel's ancestry today is paint-free to `body`. Two details that fail silently otherwise. The entry is unwound from the panel's `open` attribute in the observer that already ran for `aria-expanded`, not at each of the four ways out -- without that the entry is orphaned and the *next* back press is the one that closes the queue, which is this defect moved one press later. And the navigation writes neither `dataset.activeView` nor `searchStore.setCurrentView`, because both describe what is *in* the main panel and the queue covers that panel without replacing it. `now-playing-view`'s copy of the button went through the helper too: it set `open` directly, so on a phone it produced exactly the queue with no entry behind it that this removes. Closes #55
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.
