After moving `↑ DASHB04RD` / `↻ R3BU1LD` / `↻ new session` into
the overflow `⋯` menu in #394, the per-button rules in agent.css
have no live consumer:
- `.btn-dashlink` (cyan back-link chip)
- `.btn-rebuild` (amber rebuild chip — note: the dashboard has
its own `.btn-rebuild` for the per-row R3BU1LD form on the
SW4RM tab, that stays)
- `.btn-new-session` (amber round-pill button)
- `.btn-send` (green send-button variant — orphaned since an
earlier compose-form retirement, swept here)
Plus a comment-only `#state-row` block (layout fully provided by
the renamed `.agent-state-row` / `.agent-header-row` classes).
Each removed block is replaced with a one-line "moved to overflow"
comment so future readers don't reintroduce the old chrome by
mistake.
agent.css 23.6kb → 22.4kb.
Operator brief (#394): the header had thirteen distinct visual
elements in one flex row with three different border-radius
languages, four colour treatments, three label styles. Mara's
direction:
- agent icon bigger (full header height) as the identity anchor
- title glow stays
- nav links lose their default-anchor underline
- overflow `⋯` absorbs `↻ R3BU1LD` + `↻ new session` (rare,
destructive — both worth one extra click; rebuild is normally
done from the dashboard)
- accent stacking in the state strip stays — that's the vibe
## Layout shape
Three flex columns in `.agent-header`:
[icon · full height] [main column · 2 rows] [pills + ⋯]
The main column carries row 1 (`◆ AGENT ◆` title + meta-nav) on
top and row 2 (alive · state · model · ctx · cost · last-turn ·
cancel-turn) below.
## Changes
### `index.html`
- Wrap title + nav in `.agent-header-row .agent-header-title-row`;
wrap state-row siblings in `.agent-header-row .agent-state-row`;
both go inside a new `.agent-header-main` column.
- Right cluster `.agent-header-pills` contains the inbox + loose
pills + a new `<button id="overflow-btn">⋯</button>` trigger.
- Drop static `#new-session-btn` from `#state-row` — moved into the
overflow menu, populated dynamically.
- Add `<div id="overflow-menu" role="menu" hidden>` as a sibling
of `<header>` (lives outside the header so its `position: fixed`
popover isn't trapped by any header stacking context).
### `agent.css`
- `--agent-header-h: 4.6em → 6em` so the icon can be square + full
height without crowding the two-row main column. Terminal
padding-top + status overlay top + tail-pill all derive from
this variable, so they follow automatically.
- `.agent-header { align-items: stretch }` lets the icon stretch
to full height; `.agent-icon { height: 100%; aspect-ratio: 1 }`
sizes it as a square off the stretched height.
- `.agent-nav-link` rule added — `text-decoration: none`, cyan +
soft glow, hover lights brighter (mara's spec).
- `.overflow-btn` (round trigger) + `.overflow-menu` (frosted
popover, fixed-position) + `.overflow-item` (rows with an icon
column + label, hover ink matches per-action accent — cyan for
dashboard, amber for rebuild/new-session).
- Remove the old `#state-row` selector (layout now provided by
`.agent-state-row` + `.agent-header-row`).
### `app.js`
- `setHeader` no longer appends DASHB04RD / R3BU1LD chips into the
title — title is just the identity glyph now. Both actions get
rendered into the overflow menu by `populateOverflowMenu()`.
- `populateOverflowMenu(label, dashUrl)` builds three rows:
`↑ dashboard` (anchor), `↻ rebuild container` (button — same
POST-form action as before), `↻ new claude session` (button —
same `/api/new-session` call as the legacy header button).
- Overflow toggle / outside-click / Escape dismissal — same
pattern as the side-panel flyout (`Panel`).
- Drop the static `new-session-btn` IIFE binder; the dynamically-
rendered menu item owns its handler now.
- Drop the per-nav-link inline `marginLeft` (layout gap comes from
the new `.agent-nav { gap }` rule).
## Validation
- `npm run build` clean.
- Build deltas: agent.css 21.0kb → 23.6kb (overflow + nav rules
+ comments), app.js 117.4kb → 118.9kb (menu builder + toggle).
- Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container.
Worth eyeballing post-deploy:
- Icon fills the full header height as a square
- Title glow + uppercase styling preserved
- Nav links render without underline; hover lights brighter
- `⋯` opens a frosted popover with `↑ dashboard`, `↻ rebuild
container`, `↻ new claude session`
- Rebuild confirm + POST works the same as the legacy chip
- New-session confirm + POST works the same as the legacy button
- State strip still wraps when crowded (model/ctx/cost
multi-line on narrow viewports)
- Cancel-turn button still appears while thinking and clears
on turn end
- Terminal padding-top adjusts to the new 6em header height
(no row hidden under the chrome)
#375 set `z-index: 35` on the agent page's tail pill so it'd float
above the fixed composer (z-index 30). The fix only landed because
nothing else in `.agent-main` created a stacking context. But the
pill is anchored inside `.terminal-wrap`, which carries
`backdrop-filter: blur(...) saturate(...)` for the frost effect —
and `backdrop-filter` CREATES A STACKING CONTEXT. The pill's
z-index 35 was trapped inside that context and never got to compete
with the composer's z-index 30 in the root stacking context, so the
operator still saw the badge clipped under the input box.
Same root cause on the flow page — `.flow-main .terminal-wrap`
inherits the same backdrop-filter rule.
Fix: anchor the pill in `.agent-main` / `.flow-main` instead of
`log.parentElement` (= `.terminal-wrap`). Both ancestors are
`position: absolute` with `overflow: hidden` but NO backdrop-filter
or other stacking-context creators, so the pill's z-index reaches
the root and properly floats above the composer.
Geometry unchanged — `.agent-main` / `.flow-main` and the
`.terminal-wrap` they contain both `inset: 0` the same area, so the
pill's `bottom: calc(--composer-h + 0.6em)` lands at the same y.
Also added `.flow-main .tail-pill { z-index: 35 }` (the flow page
was missing the per-page z-index bump that the agent page already
had).
`pillAnchor` is an existing opt in @hive/shared/terminal.js (the
default is `log.parentElement`); both consumers now set it explicitly.
Operator: the per-entry header (from/sep/ts) + body were on the same
grid row, with the body squeezed into a 1fr column. In the side-
panel flyout's ~640px width, after the auto header columns ate
their share, the body wrapped over many narrow lines.
Fix: `.agent-inbox li` switches from `display: grid` to
`display: block`. The body element (currently a `<div>` for
loose-ends and a `<span>` for inbox messages) gets explicit
`display: block` so it always breaks to a new line under the
header. Light `padding-left + border-left` indent on the body
gives a visual relationship to the header row above without
needing a column structure.
`inbox-ts` + `inbox-sep` pick up small left margins to preserve
the inline spacing the grid's `gap: 0.5em` used to provide.
`.answer-form` drops its no-longer-applicable `grid-column: 1 / -1`
(replaced with a regular block layout + matching padding-left so
the form aligns with the question body it answers).
## Validation
`npm run build` clean. Bundle deltas: agent.css unchanged in
bundled size (rules swapped 1:1).
Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container.
Worth eyeballing post-deploy:
- Loose-ends entries with long question/description bodies wrap
to the panel width rather than getting clipped into a narrow
fourth column.
- The header line stays compact and readable.
- Answer-form for a question loose-end still aligns visually
under the question body it answers.
Closes#376.
Two bugs on the agent terminal page after the #362 overhaul:
## 1. `↓ N new` pill clipped by the composer
The fixed-overlay composer (z-index 30, agent.css) sits in the
root stacking context. The pill — `position: absolute` inside
`.live.terminal` with no z-index — defaults to its document-order
position in the body's stacking order, which the composer covers.
Fix: bump `.agent-main .tail-pill { z-index: 35 }` so the pill
participates in the root stacking context above the composer.
Scoped to the agent-page overlay layout — the shared `.tail-pill`
rule stays untouched (the dashboard's in-page layout doesn't need
the bump).
## 2. Autoscroll-on-new-message not firing when the operator was
already at the bottom
`afterAppend()` in terminal.js was calling `isNearBottom()` AFTER
appending the new row. The new row's own height is already in
`scrollHeight` at that point, so for any row taller than the
NEAR_BOTTOM_PX threshold (48px — easily passed by a multi-line
message body, a tool-result summary, a markdown block), the check
returns false and the pill shows + scroll stays put.
Fix: capture `wasNearBottom = isNearBottom()` BEFORE the
`log.appendChild(...)` in each of `row` / `details` /
`detailsDiff`, pass it into `afterAppend(wasNearBottom)`. Now the
auto-scroll triggers whenever the operator was visually at the
bottom an instant before the row landed, regardless of the new
row's height.
Same shared `@hive/shared/terminal.js` is used by the dashboard
+ per-agent UI + the upcoming /flow.html page, so both pages
inherit the fix.
## Validation
`npm run build` clean.
Bundle deltas: shared terminal bundle re-inlined into both consumers
unchanged in size (the wasNearBottom variable is a single bool, no
measurable delta). Agent CSS +0.1kb (z-index property).
Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container —
worth eyeballing post-deploy:
- With the operator scrolled to bottom, a tall message lands and
the view scrolls to keep it visible (instead of pinning the
pill).
- The pill appears above the composer when the operator is
scrolled up and new messages land.
Closes#375.
Per operator spec at #360#issuecomment-3333:
- full-screen terminal
- frosted-glass header overlaid on top
- inbox + loose-ends → flyout
- no a/b flag, just ship it
## Layout
`frontend/packages/agent/src/index.html` restructured to a three-zone
fixed-overlay shape:
- `<header.agent-header>` — fixed top, frosted glass via
`backdrop-filter: blur(12px) saturate(140%)`. Holds icon + title +
nav links + state-row (badges/buttons) + two new pill buttons that
surface inbox / loose-ends counts (and open the side panel on click).
- `<main.agent-main>` — fills the viewport. Terminal positioned absolute
inset:0 with padding-top/-bottom + scroll-padding equal to the
floating header/composer heights so first/last rows stay reachable
and `↓ N new` pill anchors land in the visible scroll zone.
- `<footer.agent-composer>` — fixed bottom, mirror-frosted. Owns
`#term-input`; dropped the in-frame dashed separator (border-top
+ box-shadow on the bar already separate it from the terminal).
- `<div.side-panel>` — singleton drawer (copy of the dashboard
pattern, candidate for extraction into @hive/shared). Inbox +
loose-ends details render here instead of expanding inline.
Dropped from the page: the pre-banner ASCII shimmer (`<pre.banner>`)
and the in-page `<details>` collapsibles for inbox + loose-ends. The
banner JS path (`setBannerActive`) is now a no-op (early-returns on
missing element); kept as dead code rather than ripped out to keep
the diff focused.
## JS
`frontend/packages/agent/src/app.js`:
- New `Panel` singleton with `open(name, title, content)` +
`close()` + `refresh(name, title, content)` (no-op if a different
view owns the panel — lets live updates re-render an open view
without grabbing focus from a closed one). Mirror of the
dashboard's Panel module; the duplication is intentional for now.
- `renderInbox` + `renderLooseEnds` refactored: update the header
pill counts, hide/show the pills, and `Panel.refresh` if the
matching view is open. The list-building DOM logic moved into
`buildInboxList` + `buildLooseEndsList` so the pill click handler
can call them on the latest snapshot kept in `lastInbox` /
`lastLooseEnds` module state.
- Pill click handlers `Panel.open(...)` with the freshly built list.
- Auto-expand behavior on first appearance dropped (the pill +
count badge is the discoverable signal; auto-popping the flyout
would interrupt whatever the operator is doing).
- `setHeader` no longer touches `#banner` (element removed); title +
dashboard back-link + rebuild button still get appended to `#title`.
## CSS
`frontend/packages/agent/src/agent.css` major additions, scoped
`body.agent-shell` so the sibling `stats.html` (which doesn't apply
the shell class) keeps its normal-document scroll + `.banner` ASCII
header via a `body:not(.agent-shell)` block.
New CSS custom properties on :root: `--agent-header-h`,
`--agent-composer-h`, `--agent-frost-bg`, `--agent-frost-blur`. The
terminal's padding + scroll-padding derive from these so a single
height tweak ripples consistently.
Added `.header-pill` (inbox/loose-ends triggers) +
`.agent-status-overlay` (centred login card when status != online).
Side-panel rules copied from `dashboard.css` with one delta: width
caps at 640px (vs dashboard's 760px) since per-agent inbox / loose-
ends rows are narrower than approval diffs / file previews.
## Validation
- `npm run build` — succeeds both workspaces.
- agent: `dist/static/{app.js (115kb), stats.js (435kb), agent.css (21kb)}`
- dashboard unchanged (no shared sources touched).
- Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container
(no JS engine) — op-side check on next deploy.
Closes#360.
The src/index.html / src/stats.html files reference assets at URLs
like /static/app.js, /static/dashboard.css. The initial Phase 1 build
flattened everything to dist/{app.js, dashboard.css, ...} which would
have forced the Phase 4 Rust ServeDir mount to do URL rewriting just
to make the existing HTML references resolve.
Rework: bundles now write to dist/static/, HTML stays at dist/ top
level. Layout matches the URLs the HTML uses, so the Phase 4 mount
is the simplest possible `fallback_service(ServeDir::new(dist))`.
No source-file changes — just the esbuild outfile/outdir paths.
Rebuilt; verified asset filenames + sizes unchanged.
Refs #273.
Phase 1 of the backend/frontend code split (#273). Additive — no
existing code is touched; the legacy hive-c0re/assets, hive-ag3nt/
assets and hive-fr0nt/assets trees stay in place until the Rust
cutover later in this branch.
Layout:
frontend/package.json npm workspaces root
frontend/packages/shared/ @hive/shared
src/{base,terminal}.css + terminal.js (ES module)
src/index.js re-exports terminal.js
frontend/packages/dashboard/ @hive/dashboard
src/{index.html, app.js, dashboard.css} ported from hive-c0re/assets
build.mjs esbuild config → dist/
frontend/packages/agent/ @hive/agent
src/{index,stats,screen}.html + agent.css
+ {app,stats}.js ported from hive-ag3nt/assets
build.mjs esbuild config → dist/
Changes vs the existing assets:
- terminal.js is an ES module exporting { create, linkify } instead
of assigning to window.HiveTerminal. The dashboard / agent app.js
files re-expose them on window so the IIFE bodies keep working
unchanged through Phase 1; the global aliases can be dropped in a
follow-up once the IIFEs are unwrapped.
- marked is imported from the marked@4.3.0 npm package (replacing
the vendored hive-fr0nt/assets/marked.umd.js bundle).
- chart.js is imported from chart.js@4.4.4 (replacing the jsDelivr
CDN script tag on the per-agent stats page — page now works
offline / on operator machines without internet egress).
- dashboard.css and agent.css both gain @import lines at the top
that pull base.css + terminal.css from @hive/shared, replacing
the runtime string concatenation in serve_css.
- index.html / stats.html collapse from three / two script tags to
one type="module" tag pointing at the bundled output.
package-lock.json is intentionally omitted from this commit — npm
isn't available in the iris container yet (approval pending) and the
lockfile will land in the next commit on this branch once the
toolchain is in place. The PR will not be opened until it's there.
Phase 2 (nix derivations), Phase 3 (container plumbing + the
hyperhive.frontend.extraFiles option for per-agent layering), and
Phase 4 (Rust cutover to tower_http::ServeDir, delete hive-fr0nt
+ legacy assets dirs) land as follow-up commits on this same
branch.
