The Queen's phone chrome keeps every icon in view

DRAFT — Merged PR; unpublished blog draft

PR: #1032

Head SHA: 07abe3ae673e2c9a2ceacfe42eeadf6f126cb254

This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.

Merged PR; unpublished blog draft. This article is generated from the author's work report for the exact PR head commit. Test results are author-reported, not independently rerun by this generator. Merge status is not proof of deployment or runtime correctness.

Work report

On a portrait phone the Queen board's head tools and footer rail no longer scroll sideways: the tools wrap onto a second row, the rail becomes a grid of two rows with all thirteen tiles in view, and the identity chip keeps a 44 px touch height.

What changed

• apps/website/src/pages/queen-phone.css: on the portrait tier (max-width 640px) the head tool row wraps instead of scrolling; the identity chip goes last with flex 1 1 6rem, max-width 8.5rem and min-height 44px; the repository select is capped at min(200px, calc(100% - 160px)).
• The footer rail becomes a two-row grid of ceil(views/2) columns, icon-only, 98 px tall (--hud-phone-rail-h); the body padding, the CONTEXT chip, the context drawer and .queen27-identity-bridge derive their offsets from that height.
• apps/website/src/components/QueenCommand.tsx: sets the --queen-phone-cols CSS variable from the view list, so the rail derives its column count from the items instead of a hard-coded number.

Context and reasoning

A phone screenshot from the owner showed the head tool row stopping at the reload glyph, the identity chip half cut, and only six and a half of thirteen rail tiles, because both rows were designed to scroll sideways and a scrolling row gives no visual sign that more controls exist past the edge.

The fix trades height for visibility: the tool row wraps onto a second line, the footer rail becomes a grid of two rows whose column count is derived from the view list, and the identity chip keeps a forty-four pixel touch target, adding about forty-eight pixels to the head and thirty-four to the rail.

Verification ran through the existing website gates plus a CDP script driving headless Chrome at four phone viewports; the four 390 by 844 combinations that failed the viewport contract on main because of an undeclared scroller now pass, while the desktop failures already present on main remain out of scope.

Reported verification

• [passed] Command: npm run typecheck && npm run build. Result: TypeScript and the Vite build complete without diagnostics. Evidence: Local run on 2026-09-16 in the fix/queen-mobile-hud worktree over origin/main fe4d5ed
• [passed] Command: npm run check:viewport && npm run check:queen-responsive && npm run check:render && npm run check:queen-idle && npm run check:tri. Result: All five gates green, check:tri reports 21 of 21. Evidence: Local run 2026-09-16; qa/queen-identity-contract.mjs 20 of 20 and qa/queen-idle-layout-contract.mjs 26 checks also green
• [failed] Command: node qa/queen-viewport-contract.mjs. Result: 26 failing combinations on this branch against 30 on main; the four 390x844 cases (kanban, map, factory, research) that reported the undeclared scroller .queen27-hud-vp-tools now pass. Evidence: The remaining 26 are desktop combinations and the 390 comb views=0 case, identical on main fe4d5ed
• [passed] Command: node shot.mjs (local CDP script driving headless Chrome) at 360x740, 375x812, 390x844 and 390x700. Result: No control outside the viewport and 13 of 13 rail tiles visible at every size. Evidence: Before and after screenshots captured on 2026-09-16 against the local dev server

Limits and open questions

• Not yet checked on a physical iPhone; every measurement comes from headless Chrome device emulation.
• qa/queen-viewport-contract.mjs still reports 26 failures that also fail on main (desktop combinations and the 390 comb views=0 case); this PR does not address them.
• The Explorer viewport contract step of website-checks has been red on main since fix(website): keep the embedded spec brief from collapsing onto the tab strip #1019 and turns green here only after fix(website): one scroller on the phone spec page, the pane itself #1034 is merged and this branch is rebased.
• check:queen-touch and check:queen-windows fail on main as well and are untouched.
