A non-`auto` `scrollbar-width` or `scrollbar-color` makes Chromium and Safari
discard every `::-webkit-scrollbar*` rule for that element, including
`::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover`. Declaring both unconditionally left the
hover tokens rendering nowhere: the engines implementing the hover
pseudo-element are exactly the ones the standard properties silence, and
Firefox has no hover pseudo-element to fall back on. Both hover tokens and all
four elevated surfaces' hover rebinds were therefore dead code.
Measured in chromium on probe elements with `scrollbar-gutter: stable`: an 8px
`::-webkit-scrollbar` alone reserved a 30px band, and adding
`scrollbar-width: thin` dropped it to the 10px `thin` reserves.
The standard properties now sit inside `@supports not
selector(::-webkit-scrollbar)`, so Firefox takes them and WebKit-based engines
take the pseudo-elements. The WebKit rules stay ungated: an engine without
those pseudo-elements drops them as unknown selectors, and gating them would
hide them from an engine that implements them without `selector()` — the
pre-16.4 Safari the ungated form serves correctly.
Three unit assertions pin the split by source offset, which the existing
at-rule-flattening parser cannot see. The web e2e now reads the path chromium
actually takes: the `auto` standard properties as the gate's signature, the
pseudo-element sizing and track, the indirection variables resolved per
throwaway probe, and the hover declaration as cascade rule text — chromium
folds the `:hover` rule into `getComputedStyle(el,
'::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb')`, so no computed query separates the states.
Review follow-ups: the three new notify loops (currentProvideInfo
subscribers, ui-skill lexicon listeners, late-registration controller
setup) now contain per-callback failures so one faulty consumer cannot
starve the rest, abort the list projection pass, or poison the source
roster with no disposer; controller lexicon polling drops a throwing
source with a console record like the candidate path. The ui-slash
README (both languages) now states the late-registration warm and the
subscribeLexicon contract, and the scenario suite drives a typed /name
token gaining its decoration when the roll settles with no further
input.
provideInfo(id)/maybeProvideInfo(id) lost their last external caller
when the renderer host switched to the currentProvideInfo observable;
both become private (tests assert through the public projection). The
reprojection method's name now says what it does — re-derive and
publish on change — and matches the field family it maintains.
Registrant-private reactive facts previously reached components as raw
observables that each component subscribed by hand (InputBar notices/
lexicon via uSES, SettingsRoot via a version/subscribe/getter triple).
The inject face now carries a reserved hooks compartment of bare
sources; the renderer binds each into a use<Name> selector hook through
the same machinery as the provide channel, so components consume
useNotices/useLexicon/useSections and never see a subscription
primitive. InputBar and SettingsRoot are the first two consumers.
The decoration scan read a mutable lexicon() aggregation during render
with no subscription, so a catalog settling or a child spawning after
prewarm left drafted tokens undecorated until an unrelated re-render.
The controller now publishes the aggregation as a snapshot store fed by
a new optional SlashSource.subscribeLexicon hook (ui-skill notifies on
settle/invalidate, ui-subagent forwards the session-list feed), the
composer keyboard face exposes it as an observable, and InputBar
subscribes through uSES. Sources registered after scope birth now warm
and join live controllers via a service broadcast.
The manual useState+useEffect subscription could miss a registration
landing between render and effect commit; uSES closes that window and
keeps the same version-dedupe behavior.
A provider roster change under a stable current id rematerialized every
scope's bundle but nothing notified React: SessionProvider resolved the
bundle from a current-id subscription only, so mounted entries kept the
obsolete hook/prop schema until an unrelated re-render. The sessions
service now owns an atomic currentProvide observable fed by both current
writes and roster changes; the renderer host exposes it as
sessions.provide, replacing the current/provideInfo/maybeProvideInfo
trio, and both providers subscribe to it.
Tool row summaries strip the session workspace root; the running sweep
becomes a glare-band overlay (deepsuite ShimmerText pattern); assistant
nodes that render nothing no longer split tool-row groups; block and
tool-row spacing collapse to one 16px rhythm.
design-platform.css declared four --dsw-alias-scrollbar-* tokens in both
palettes that no rule read, so every scrolling region rendered the user
agent's own scrollbar and the dark theme showed a light native bar against
dark surfaces.
The symptom that surfaced the gap was in the sidebar: the workspace
browser's session list is its only scrolling region, and each row's
trailing content (the relative timestamp, and the hover action buttons
that replace it) is `flex: none` flush against the row's 8px right
padding, so an overlaid scrollbar painted on top of the timestamp.
ui-theme/styles/scrollbar.css becomes the sole consumer of the four
tokens, imported by the web shell's base.css after design-platform.css
because it reads that sheet's tokens. The rules sit on `body`, not
`html`: the alias tokens are declared on `body`, custom properties
inherit only downward, and from `html` they resolve to the
guaranteed-invalid value with scrollbar-color computing to `auto`.
scrollbar-width and scrollbar-color are declared on `body, body *` rather
than inherited, because inheritance would carry the color already
substituted at `body` and an elevated surface could not retint its own
thumb; scrollbar-width does not inherit at all.
Both the standard properties and the ::-webkit-scrollbar pseudo-elements
read one indirection pair bound to the l1 tokens, so an elevated surface
rebinds that pair to the l2 tokens once and retints both renderings. The
command popup, slash menu, model-select panel, and settings panel do so,
which gives the l2 tokens their first consumers.
WorkspaceBrowser's `.list` declares scrollbar-gutter: stable, keeping the
bar beside the rows. `stable` rather than `auto` so the reservation holds
when the list is short enough not to scroll: expanding a workspace group
would otherwise shift every row sideways at the moment it starts
scrolling.
- StateDot ongoing: gradient spin ring replaced by an 8-cell pixel chase
(2px matrix cells, stepped trail, no tweening)
- Chat: streaming pulse block replaced by a turn-level 4-pixel chase at the
flow tail — rides the whole running turn (first-token wait, tools,
streaming) instead of flickering with partial presence
- Tool rows (ToolRow/BashRow): running no longer swaps the icon for a dot;
an animated mask band sweeps the row content, gliding off on exit via
mask-position transition
- Composer: send/stop unified on the blue fill (bigger stop glyph, static
white arrow), textarea box-sizing overflow fix, settling phase hides the
composer while replay decides hero vs docked, workspace-placeholder
fallback disables the bar
- Hero: glow moved behind (z-index) with lower opacity; tool-row hover icon
crossfade at 100ms
- The hero workspace chip is a selector: no-live-selection states (cold
start, workspace deleted from the sidebar after the list is ready) now
render a "Choose workspace" placeholder (closed-folder icon) instead of
resurrecting the deleted folder name via the session cwd; the cwd-derived
name still bridges the initial list load. Stale pending picks clear when
their workspace leaves a ready list.
- The expanded sidebar wordmark starts a new session (visuals unchanged,
pointer cursor only); the collapsed rail logo keeps its expand toggle.
- The centered hero composer stack gains a 32px foot for visual balance.
Menus: keep 12px viewport clearance with internal scroll, pin workspace
create actions in a footer, and pre-render portal lists hidden so the
first painted frame is already at its final position (no open jump).
Tool rows: 14px icons, secondary titles, no hover fill, and a hover
chevron preview on in-place expandable rows. Settings: 800x600 layer-2
panel over a blurred mask, hover states, and wrapping selector cubes;
ModelSelect surface tokens now match the Menu primitive.
