Summary

  • Update the desktop bottom HUD grid (lg:grid-cols-[1fr_auto_1fr]) and HUD column (lg:w-fit lg:min-w-[500px]) in index.html so the dark HUD panel expands cleanly to fit <unit-display> when large late-game unit counts (e.g. 1.19K, 5.51K) exceed 500px.
  • Preserves lg:overflow-visible and touch-none on .unit-display-scroll, keeping tutorial highlight arrows/scaling unclipped and touch drag-to-place unaffected.

Test plan

  • npx vitest run tests/client/UnitDisplay.test.ts (41/41 passed)
  • npm run typecheck (0 errors)
  • npx oxfmt --check index.html (passed)

Walkthrough

The large-screen HUD grid now uses an auto-sized center column. Its control-panel wrapper uses fit-content width with a 500px minimum.

The center grid column changes from 500px to auto. The wrapper gains lg:w-fit and lg:min-w-[500px].

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2deaa

On large screens, the desktop HUD panel may grow wider than 500px when many unit types are shown, instead of scrolling. This is a cosmetic layout issue and easy to fix, so merge risk is low.

Explanation

The title names the client-side fix and the desktop HUD overflow problem. The change removes lg:overflow-visible from the unit display scroll container so the bar stays inside the panel. The title says the bar is prevented from overflowing the HUD panel on desktop, which matches the described change. The raw summary describes a grid column width change in index.html (lg:w-fit, lg:min-w-[500px]), which is a different mechanism, but the stated goal matches the PR objectives.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the change clearly. It removes lg:overflow-visible from .unit-display-scroll in UnitDisplay.ts so the hotbar scrolls instead of sticking out past the HUD panel. It also explains that tooltips are unaffected, lists the test update, and gives the test results.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: One regression to fix before merging. Findings: 1 medium.

src/client/hud/layers/UnitDisplay.ts

[Medium] Desktop now clips the tutorial highlight on build-bar buttons. UnitDisplay.ts:633

  • Why the highlight sticks out of the bar. A TutorialHighlightEvent that targets a unit adds tutorial-highlight to that unit's button (UnitDisplay.ts:775). The button sits inside .unit-display-grid inside .unit-display-scroll. In src/client/styles.css:784-815, that class:
    • scales the button with scale(1.3) from the bottom center, so it grows upward and outward;
    • draws a ▼ arrow in ::after at bottom: calc(100% + 3px) that bobs up by 5px, so the arrow sits fully above the button.
  • What this PR changes. Before it, lg:overflow-visible was the only thing that let the highlight show outside the bar on lg+. Without it, the scroller keeps overflow-x-auto overflow-y-hidden on desktop. The scroller and grid have no padding, so the arrow and the top of the enlarged button are clipped.
  • When players see it:
    • Normal games. TutorialPanel (TutorialPanel.ts:147-150, 194-196, 417-421) highlights city, port, factory, defense post, warship, silo and nuke buttons in every non-onboarding game unless the player dismissed it. It draws no pointer of its own, so on desktop those steps lose their only "press this button" arrow.
    • Onboarding. On the nuke step, OnboardingOverlay highlights atom and draws its own arrow, but the scaled button and its glow are still cut off.
  • Not caused by this PR. Landscape phones below lg already clip the highlight today.
  • Suggested fix. Keep overflow visible on lg while a unit highlight is active. For example, add lg:overflow-visible only when this.tutorialHighlight targets a build button, and keep overflow-x-auto otherwise. Alternatively, give the scroller enough top padding on lg (only while a highlight is active) to fit the scaled button and arrow. In either case, consider calling scrollIntoView({ inline: "nearest" }) on the highlighted button so it isn't hidden off the end of a scrolled bar. A client test that sets a unit highlight and checks the scroller's classes would guard against this.

No other issues found. The tooltip is a sibling of the scroller, so it is unaffected, and the edge fades and measureScrollState work the same on lg. The change follows CLAUDE.md.

Reverting the UnitDisplay change takes care of the clipped tutorial arrow the bot flagged on the first push, and the diff is lg-only now so mobile is untouched. There is one real problem with sizing the wrapper to its content, below. This is also a visible desktop layout change from a fork with no screenshots: please add before/after at a wide count (5.51K or so) in a 1024-1280px window, and one with a tutorial step open, before this goes further.

lg:w-fit sizes this wrapper to the max-content of every child, not just the unit bar. The attacks-display rows are truncate (nowrap) and the tutorial step is a plain wrapping sentence, so both contribute their full unwrapped width. I measured a copy of this structure in headless Chrome at 1024px: the bar alone at 5.51K takes the wrapper to about 670px, a few attack rows with long names to about 790px, one tutorial sentence to about 820px, and the longest English step (attack_nations, 231 chars) is wider than the viewport. So the whole bottom panel will jump in width as attacks and tutorial steps come and go, which the tutorial does in every normal game. Because the auto track is paid for by both 1fr sides, the events/chat column at 1024-1199px (where events-display is w-full) drops from 262px to roughly 100-180px.

If the panel is to grow with the bar, only the bar can be allowed to set the width, e.g. lg:w-0 lg:min-w-full on attacks-display and tutorial-panel so they fill the wrapper without pushing it. Otherwise keep the 500px track and let the bar scroll or wrap on lg.
