jheapsandClaude Opus 5 6a59b0d5ba Stop the table being drawn from a measurement of a bar that isn't there
The felt is sized from --feltRoomPx, which actionBar.js publishes from the
bar's real height, because the bar is fixed to the bottom and grows with the
hand so nothing else can know how much window is left. That measurement is
right. What it was measuring was not.

ActionBar.mount() called watchHeight() before render(), and the bar ships
`<div id="actionBar" hidden>`. So the first publish measured a bar that was
not there yet and published 0px — not "I don't know" but "the bar takes none
of the window", which is the one answer that makes the felt draw itself too
big. Traced on a cold load, nine-handed:

  t=181ms   --actionBarHeight 0px     bar hidden, 0 tall
  t=186ms   --feltRoomPx      721px
  t=1056ms  --actionBarHeight 151px   bar visible, 151 tall — ResizeObserver
  t=1059ms  --feltRoomPx      570px

The observer does come round on its own once `hidden` comes off, but a frame
later at best, and with nine seats to lay out it was 875ms behind. What a
dealer saw at 360x640 was a table drawn 336x504 and collapsing to 336x374
after it was on screen and readable: 130px of felt with every seat on it.
1280x900 lost 13px the same way.

Two rules, separate on purpose. publish() now declines rather than guessing
while the bar is hidden and not a rail — a rail still publishes its honest
zero, because it is a real bar that has moved out of the way. And mount()
publishes once render() has given it something to measure.

That leaves the frame before any of it, which is real: the scripts are at the
end of the body and the table is laid out inside DOMContentLoaded, so the
browser has painted by the time --feltRoomPx exists. The fallback there was
`100vh` — the worst guess available, since it says the whole window is free.
It is now the same guess two other rules in this file already make, 9rem for
the bar plus 7rem for what sits above and below, which lands 10px over the
truth at 360x640; and it is a ceiling, so over is a small shrink rather than a
seat behind the bar.

Measured after, on both phones: one draw, no jump, and a layout-shift score
of 0 where the felt used to move 130px.

1362 tests pass, 8 of them new — 5 fail against the old code. One existing
test pinned the literal fallback string; its claim is about the cap being the
measured room, and it now says that. The sweep is clean across 428 audits;
contrast unchanged.
