jheapsandClaude Opus 5 7bd205a91a Line the bar up with the table, and stop the button squeezing a name
Two things that were wrong at every desktop width, both of them the same shape: a
number that was right about one thing being used for another.

The action bar was centred on the window. The table is centred on its own column, and
the sidebar takes 320px out of the right of that — so the two things a dealer is
actually looking at sat 172px apart, at 960px wide and at 1600px and everywhere in
between, because the offset is half the sidebar and the sidebar is a constant. The bar
also finished 80px inside the sidebar's column at 1280, painting over whichever panel
happened to be at that height. It leans away from the sidebar now, by the sidebar's own
width, which comes out exact above and below the 1400px cap — measured on the running
page at four widths, 0px off at all of them. No 100vw in it, which is the point: the
bar's own centring comment warns that on a page with a scrollbar 100vw is wider than
the viewport, and the offsets are exact without it.

The dealer button's chip sits in the puck's top-right corner and the name kept out from
under it with `padding-right: 22px`. That takes the chip's width off *every* line of the
name, and the chip is on one of them. Measured at 1280x900: the name box is 78px,
"Christopher" is 66 and fits, and on the seat holding the button it was cut to 56 and
broke as "Christop / her" — mid-word, no hyphen. The button moves every hand, so that is
a player whose name reads properly for four hands and comes apart on the fifth.

A float is what indents only the lines it sits beside. Line one gets 56px and the rest
get 78, so a name too long to fit beside the chip drops below it whole instead of being
broken to fit next to something that isn't there.

Not on a crowded ring, though, and finding that out cost a sweep. A tight puck gives the
name one line on purpose, and one line has nowhere to move to: with two lines granted
the name dropped onto a second line that the chip's lower half was still sitting on, and
the audit called it at every viewport in the list. So the float is for the ring with room
for two lines and the padding for the one without — two rules, matching two regimes the
puck already had.

The sweep also learned two things from this:

- Text is measured where it was painted, not where its box is. The seat-label check
  modelled "text kept out of somewhere" as padding, which is one way of doing it and not
  the only one; a float does it per line, and the check called every seat in the sweep an
  offender while the text sat exactly where it was meant to. Range rects ask the question
  directly, so padding, floats, centring, wrapping and a short label in a wide box all
  come out right without any of them being modelled.

- Offenders say how much is covered, not that something is. "Is under a badge" reads the
  same for a stack a dealer cannot read and for a badge's rounded corner grazing the last
  digit. Probing the whole line and counting turns the residual this sweep has carried for
  three rounds into "1/7 under SB" — one probe of seven, one configuration, thumb only.

294 audits, 4 failing configurations, 5 offenders: twelve players on a 360px phone with
the raise pad open (3/7 and 2/7, pucks genuinely overlapping — the search reports it
rather than papering over it) and the 1/7 hairline above. 770 unit tests.

Fault-injected, all restored and re-verified: writing the sidebar's width out again
instead of the token, growing the float to cover the chip's whole height, and taking the
padding off the crowded ring are each caught by a test; and with both the float and the
padding removed the rewritten label check still reports the name 6px under the chip,
which is the fault it exists for.

jheapsandClaude Opus 5 f07144acd8 Give the table the screen back when the phone is on its side
A phone held sideways is 640x360: short of height and swimming in width. The layout
spent the whole of that shortage on one column — 70px of header, 85px of felt, 205px
of action bar. Two rows of seat pucks 55px tall have to fit inside 85px of felt, which
they cannot, so seven of nine finished past the rail with up to 17px of puck floating
on the page. That single fault was 96 of the 98 offenders the layout audit could find
anywhere.

No amount of shrinking fixes it, because the shortage was never in the table. The bar
is 205px tall and 529 wide to hold three buttons and a status line, and it was taking
that height from the one element that needed height. So in landscape it moves: the bar
becomes a rail down the right-hand side, the table takes the column beside it, and the
felt goes from 529x85 to 409x205 — an actual oval, with room for two rows of pucks and
a gap between them. It also puts Fold, Call and Raise under the right thumb rather than
along the bottom edge, where a landscape grip has the palm.

Which layout the bar is in is declared by the stylesheet in a custom property and read
back by actionBar.js, because the one thing that must not exist is a second copy of
that media query written in JavaScript.

Then the ring stopped predicting itself. seatRingRadii works out the widest ring whose
outermost puck still finishes inside the rail, and it is right about a puck it measured
before the width search settled and before a name wrapped or was shortened — each worth
up to 15px of height arriving after the answer. Four viewports finished with the top
seat 5-6px over. render.js now checks the drawn result the way the audit judges it: if
the worst puck hangs 6px past the rail, the ring comes in by 6px and they are placed
again. A layout that predicts itself has to be right about the future; one that measures
itself only has to be right about the present.

Also in this round:

- Names shorten at a word instead of being chopped mid-one. "Mike from work" on a
  nine-handed phone was "Mike f…"; he is Mike. A name never ends on a joining word,
  because "Mike from" looks cut off rather than shortened, and the whole name is on the
  tooltip either way.

- The blind badge is counted in what a seat needs. It always points away from the table,
  which was taken to mean it costs nothing between two seats — true of a straight rail
  and false of a ring, where neighbours sit at different heights. Three tables had a
  player's stack painted under the next player's SB or BB, and that badge outranks
  everything else on the felt. It also got shorter, 15px to 12: clearing its own name at
  5px of overhang instead of 9 hands every chair in the ring four pixels back, which at
  640x360 is the difference between a 66px puck and a 48px one.

- Border-box, inherited, for the whole app rather than nine elements opting in one at a
  time. Both elements that hadn't went wrong in the same afternoon: the rail overran the
  page's padding by 25px and put Resolve Pot underneath itself, and the raise pad's
  amount field pushed a horizontal scrollbar across a 640px phone.

- The raise amount field is thumb-sized. The rule that sizes fields for a finger names
  the settings panels and the seat form, so the one field on the one surface built for
  thumbs was 36px on every phone in the list. The sweep never saw it because it had no
  step that opened the raise pad; it has one now, and that step also caught the rail
  squeezing its own status line under the pad.

- mobile-web-app-capable alongside Apple's older name, which Chrome has been calling
  deprecated in this page's console on every load.

The audit goes from 19 failing configurations and 98 offenders to 2 and 3, across 294
audits — thirteen viewports, three table shapes, a mouse and a thumb. What is left is
twelve players on a 360px phone with the raise pad open, where twelve pucks at the 44px
minimum genuinely do not fit on the felt; the search reports that rather than papering
over it. Each new mechanism was checked by breaking it on purpose: removing the settle
pass puts 26 offenders back, dropping the badge from the footprint 5, and un-sizing the
raise field is caught by the step that now opens it.
