/* ROW PLANES. The order is hover < selection, and the distance between them
is what a reader uses to tell a pointer from a choice.
MEASURED AGAINST THE ROW AT REST, NEVER AGAINST THE PAGE. A row paints
--surface itself, so --surface is what a hover REPLACES. The old comment
compared both planes to --bg, which is the ground behind the table and
not the colour that changes. Against --bg the hover read 1.10 and looked
solved. Against the row it read 1.02, and a reader saw nothing at all.
Both planes moved, because nothing between the old rest and the old
selection clears the bar. Hover 1.09 against the row, selection 1.237,
and 1.135 between the two. The accent bar still carries the selection,
and it reads 3.91 on the new fill against a 3.0 bar for a graphic.
THE DIVIDER IS ABSENT ON BOTH OF THESE PLANES, AND THAT IS NOT A COST. A
td draws --line-subtle #282828, so the hairline reads 1.105 on the hover
and 1.027 on the selection. What separates two rows is whichever of the
hairline and the fill step a reader can see, and the fill step takes over
exactly where the hairline stops: 1.090 under a hovered row and 1.237
under a selected one.
Two adjacent SELECTED rows are the one pair with neither, at 1.027 and
1.000. They meet with no seam on purpose, because they are one selection.

Their choice, from four rendered on real rows. One more neutral step,
1.120 against the selected plane, plus the wider bar from a louder
candidate. The step alone is the same MECHANISM as the plain hover, which
is what keeps the four planes one ladder a reader can order.
THIS COSTS NOTHING, AND AN EARLIER VERSION OF THIS COMMENT SAID IT DID.
It named --line #303030 at 1.029. Nothing draws a row divider with that.
A td draws --line-subtle #282828, which reads 1.150 here against 1.027 on
the plane below it. So the new plane GIVES BACK some of a hairline that
was already absent, rather than spending one. */

A table row does not move at all, at 53 either way, because a 28px chip

THE EDITOR FOLDS TO TWO ROWS. Their instruction, 22 September 2026: the
download and the delete go into a hamburger, the four marks take one full
row, and the style control shares the next row with the three lists.
THE THRESHOLD IS THE TOOLBAR'S OWN SUM, AND THERE ARE TWO OF THEM, because
a mark is 36px under a mouse and 44 under a finger. Measured:
mouse 168 + 16 + (36*4 + 4*3) + 16 + (36*3 + 4*2) + 32 = 504
finger 168 + 16 + (44*4 + 4*3) + 16 + (44*3 + 4*2) + 32 = 560
ONE NUMBER WOULD BE WRONG ON ONE OF THEM. At 504 for both, a finger at
520px kept the flat row, the lists wrapped on their own and sat at the
left with 348px of empty bar beside them. Measured on that exact state:
the group at 16 to 156 inside a 504px bar.
GRID, NOT A WRAPPER PER ROW. The markup order is the wide order, and two
line wrappers would either reorder it or need dissolving at every other
width. Placement says which line each group is on and changes no markup.

A CHILD OF A FADING BOX IS NOT IN THIS SET. The notification's own cross
sits inside the clipper that fades with the fold, so a second fade on the
cross is a second writer for one visual. Measured with it in the list: the
fold finished at 273ms and the cross was still fading at 379, which reads
as a straggler. It carries `data-fade="parent"` in the markup instead, and
the guard counts that rather than approving a name.
AND THE SET IS WRITTEN THREE TIMES, WHICH THE FIRST GUARD COULD NOT SEE.
The transition, the resting `opacity: 0` and the `@starting-style` entry
are three lists that must hold the same ids. Adding a panel to the first
alone flips `display` at the far end and never moves the opacity: measured
on the rating menu, display block through 236ms and none at 283, with
opacity 1 the whole way. The guard compares all three.
NOT A GLOBAL RULE. Putting display in the transition every element gets
would fade every label a media query drops and every cell the card view
rearranges, on each breakpoint a drag crosses. That is work nobody asked
for at a width nobody stops at. */

/* ==========================================================================
The filter panel folds by its own height
Their instruction, 17 September 2026: a 500ms slide that pushes everything
below it down, and back up on the way in.
A HEIGHT, NOT A TRANSFORM. A transform moves the panel and nothing else, so
the list would sit still and the panel would slide over it. The push is the
whole ask, and only a length in flow can do it.
`display` IS ALREADY IN THE RUN, with allow-discrete, so `hidden` flips at
the far end rather than the near one and the box stays laid out while the
height falls. That mechanism is the block above, and this reads the same
attribute rather than adding a second state.
THE PIXELS COME FROM app.js, because a height has nothing to interpolate
against `auto`. The script measures the natural height, pins it for one
frame, then sets the target.
overflow: hidden ONLY WHILE IT RUNS. The tag menu inside this panel is
absolutely placed and opens past the panel's own foot, so a permanent clip
would cut it off. The script marks the panel for the length of the run.
AND THE PADDING TRAVELS WITH THE HEIGHT, or the run ends in a jerk. Their
report: "there's a weird jerking motion at the end of the animation."
A HEIGHT OF ZERO IS NOT A BOX OF ZERO. `box-sizing: border-box` floors the
used height at the padding, so this panel bottomed out at 37px, which is
its own 12 and 25. The last 37 then went in one frame, when `display`
flipped to none. Both ends move together now, and the box reaches 0.

OPACITY APPLIES TO AN ELEMENT AND EVERYTHING IT PAINTS, its pseudo-
elements with it. So the panel fading took its own rule with it, and a
pure ease-out spends the fade early: under 0.31 at 125ms of 500. The line
was gone for three quarters of a slide it is supposed to ride.
The clipper fades and the panel's box does not. The rule then travels at

A view transition pairs the old picture with the new one BY NAME, and the
name sits on whichever tab is chosen. Before the switch that is one tab
and after it the other, so the browser has two rectangles for one name and
moves between them. Nothing measures a position and nothing writes one.
THE NAME MUST BE UNIQUE WHILE THE TRANSITION RUNS, and exactly one tab
carries aria-selected="true" at a time. A second element answering to this
selector would abort the whole transition rather than glide.
IT COSTS NO JAVASCRIPT AND NO EXTRA ELEMENT. The other answer is an
absolutely placed bar under the tabs, whose left and width are measured
and written on every switch, every resize and every font swap. That is
three writers for one position. */

THE LISTS SLIDE PAST EACH OTHER. Their ask, 22 September 2026: "any chance
we can have a left/right sliding animation between the tabs instead of
crossfading?"
THE STRIP IS THE FILMSTRIP. It reads left to right, so moving to a later
tab moves the window right along it: the old list leaves to the LEFT and
the new one arrives from the RIGHT. Going back is the mirror. app.js marks
the root with the direction, because CSS cannot know which way the reader
went.
A SLIDE DOES NOT FADE. Two half-transparent pages laid over each other is
the cross-fade this replaces, and it is why a slide has to name its own
animation: the browser's default for these two is opacity. `both` holds
the end frame so nothing snaps back before the transition ends.
AND THE PAIR STOPS LIGHTENING. The default blend for a cross-fade is
`plus-lighter`, which makes two solid pages glow where they overlap. A
slide wants them opaque.

dragged in. The script moves the pair. It removes the copy the moment the
gesture ends, so only one list is mounted at rest.

Measured that day: Bookmarks needs 134.5px with everything, and a 375px
phone gives each tab 114.3. At 296 a tab is 88px, which holds the name
alone but not the name with its mark. 144 leaves room for a three-digit
count, and 108 for the widest name with its mark.
A QUERY MEASURES INSIDE THE PADDING, so each figure is the tab's width
minus its 16px of padding. Written as the whole width, the marks hid at
375 and 480 as well.
AND AT 296 THE NAME ALONE WAS 2PX TOO WIDE, before any mark existed. The
row there borrows 4px of padding on each side rather than spilling.

Adding the radius to the height cannot work above the card, because the

The comment above says the strip covers the shell's own top padding at
rest, where nothing paints. That stopped being true the moment the height
gained the radius: the padding is 24 and the strip became 32, so it sat
8px inside the content. Measured at rest: the header's five buttons start
at y27, so 5px of every one was painted over, and elementFromPoint at
y28 answered `shell` rather than the button. It took the top 5px of each
press area as well.

draws a 52px row and the card view draws a 163px card, so one height cannot
serve both. 1121 is where the table view starts, which is a threshold this
file already declares.
TABLE VIEW, at least 700 tall. 339 above the table, 36 of footer and 48 of
shell padding is 423, plus the wrapper's own 260px floor. 683 rounds to 700.
CARD VIEW, at least 700 wide AND 950 tall. Measured at 768x1024: 390 above
the table, 54 of footer and 16 of padding, leaving 564 for 3.46 cards. The
sum for three is 390 + 54 + 16 + 489, which is 949.
THE WIDTH IS THERE BECAUSE THE CHROME GROWS AS THE PAGE NARROWS. Measured
with the filters folded: 390 above the table at 753 wide, 428 at 693, and
470 at 600 and below. The footer runs 54, 72, 90 and 108 over the same
band. So one height floor is right at one end of the card view and wrong at
the other. 700 is where the chrome stops growing.
IT COVERS EVERY REAL SIZE. A tablet in portrait is 1024 tall or more and
locks. The tallest phone is 956 and 430 wide, so the width stops it. A
tablet in LANDSCAPE is 768 tall, which leaves 308px for 1.9 cards, and the
height stops that.
Below either floor the page scrolls exactly as it did. A locked app with no
room for its list is worse than a long page.
THE FOOTER STAYS OUT OF THE SCROLLER, so the scrollbar is the list's and
nothing else's. It costs 36px at 1265 and 54 at 768. */

Every cut edge of the list fades
A HARD CUT READS AS A BROKEN ROW. Their instruction, 17 September 2026:
can you add a little fading-to-black gradient near the top so that it
doesn't cut off so harshly? 16-32px height ought to do it
Then twice more, the same day: both ends, and the table as well as the
cards, "within its bounds".
I SHIPPED IT TWICE AND THEY SAW NEITHER, BECAUSE I ONLY MEASURED THE LOCKED
APP. Their words: "still a sharp cut, both at the top and bottom edges.
what are you doing wrong?"
The lock needs 950px of height. Below that the app scrolls as one document
and .table-wrap is not a scroller at all, so a rule written for its edges
paints nothing. Measured at 900 by 800: the shell is 6456 tall, the page
scrolls, and the sort bar is sticky at 146 with an opaque fill. The rows
cut at its foot, which is a place neither earlier fix could reach.
SO THERE ARE FOUR CUTS, AND TWO MECHANISMS ANSWER THEM.
| where a row is cut | what answers it |
|---------------------------------------|-----------------------|
| under a sticky bar, the page scrolling | a tail below the bar |
| under the sticky headings, table locked | a tail below them |
| the scroller's own top, cards locked | a mask |
| the scroller's own foot, either view locked | a mask |
A TAIL IS THE OPAQUE THING CARRYING ON PAST ITS OWN EDGE. It starts at the
fill the bar already paints and reaches nothing, so a row emerges from it
rather than appearing. A MASK is for an edge with nothing over it: the rows
themselves go to transparent and the page shows through.
A SCRIM IS NEITHER, AND IT WAS MY FIRST ANSWER. Painting the page colour
over a card at partial alpha moves it 9 values out of 255, so the cut
survives underneath whatever height the band is given.
EACH ONE IS ZERO WHERE NOTHING SITS PAST IT. Their rule: "make sure it
stops existing at the very bottom of the list ... just like it shouldn't
exist at the very top of the list either."
AND app.js PUBLISHES THE THREE LENGTHS, rather than a scroll timeline.
`animation-timeline` is the one thing here a browser may not have, and
without it the fade is simply absent, which is the state they reported
twice. A scroll listener runs everywhere. This file decides where each
number paints, so the script knows nothing about which view is on screen.

A MASK MAKES THE BROWSER RASTER THE WHOLE BOX EVERY FRAME ITS GEOMETRY
MOVES, and that cost scales with the screen. Nine gradient stops over a
viewport-tall scroller is cheap at 1x and is not at 3x.

A MASK ERASES THE BOX'S OWN EDGE, WHICH IS WHAT THEY SAW: "you've cut off

element paints, its border included, so a fade at the foot took the frame
with it. The first layer is the frame: opaque on the hairline at each
side, transparent between them. The second is the fade, held opaque for
that same hairline at the top and the foot.
So the box keeps a whole ring and the rows fade inside it. --list-edge is
the width the border is drawn at, read by both, so the guarded hairline
and the painted one cannot disagree. The card view draws no box and sets
it to zero, which leaves no opaque sliver where there is no frame.
Proven at 1:1 on three probes: the fade alone loses the border at the top
and the foot AND thins the sides, the two layers keep the whole frame,
and the unmasked twin is the reference. */

ALWAYS DRAWN, NEVER OVERLAID. `overflow-y: scroll` keeps the track on
screen with a short list, and styling the WebKit pseudo-elements is what
turns an overlay scrollbar into a classic one on macOS. `scrollbar-gutter`
holds the width either way, so an empty list does not move the columns.
AN 8px HANDLE IN A 24px TRACK. Their number for the handle. The 8px
transparent border plus `background-clip: padding-box` insets it without a
second element: 24 - 16 = 8.
THE TRACK IS WIDE SO THE GAPS MATCH. A 12px track with a 12px padding
beside it put 14px between the list and the handle and 2px between the
handle and the table's own edge. They saw it and called it uneven. Centred
in a 24px track the handle has 8 on both sides, and the gutter costs the
same 24px it cost as 12 plus 12.
FIREFOX TAKES ONE COLOUR AND ONE WIDTH. `scrollbar-width: thin` is not a
length, and `scrollbar-color` has no state. So the hover and the held
states are WebKit and Blink only, and the rest colour is what Firefox
draws throughout.
AND THOSE TWO PROPERTIES MUST NOT REACH BLINK AT ALL. Declared globally,
Chrome takes them and DISREGARDS every `::-webkit-scrollbar` rule below.
Measured that way: a 10px bar with no hover and no held state, against the
12 asked for. `@supports selector()` is the split, because the pseudo-
element's own support is exactly the question.
THE PAGE'S OWN BAR TAKES THE SAME RULES. Below the lock's floors the PAGE
scrolls and the list does not, so the reader met the browser's default bar
at one width and this one at the next. Two scrollbars in one app, and the
width decided which. `html` is the viewport's scroller, and it carries no
gutter: a reserved 24px with nothing in it would inset the whole page. */

halves are one run rather than two animations meeting.
IT ENDS ON THE PRIMARY BUTTON'S OWN COLOURS, never a red invented for
this. At the peak it is exactly the button beside it in the card.
MEASURED ACROSS THE WHOLE RAMP: the label reads 14.43:1 at rest and 3.67
at the peak, which is the shipped primary button's own figure. Every frame
between is above the one it lands on, so the pulse introduces no state the
app does not already paint.

that writes the label, so a reader whose token is merely resuming sees no
pulse.

up its foot and the bar owns both distances. 12 above and 12 below, at

came back the instant `hidden` was set, 189px above where the panel's line
was still sitting, and the panel then slid up to meet a line already at its
destination.
A BACKGROUND IS CLIPPED TO ITS OWN BOX AND AN ABSOLUTE CHILD IS NOT. At a

never overlap. Measured 119px to 213px. */
/* TWO COLUMNS, AND EACH LINE'S PAIR SHARES ONE CELL.
Three tracks did not work. A grid column is shared by every row, so the
delete button, the duration and the "added" date all sat in col 3.
max-content sized it to the widest of them at 126px, which left the
title 119px of a 313px card and pinned the channel to the same 119px.
The gap from the channel to the duration came out at 101px.
So there are two tracks now. Each pair occupies ONE cell, the left run
at its start and the right run at its end, and the left run caps itself
so the two never meet. The delete button is out of flow entirely, and
sizes nothing. */
/* 12px, AND IT IS THE ONLY WRITER BETWEEN THE FACT LINES. It read 4, and
the title looked further off than that because its own box was 23px

one change: the reader was seeing 15.5px under the title and 4px under
everything else, from two mechanisms neither of which said 12. */

The zero floor is what lets a track reach nothing even while its cells
carry a margin.
