The asc/desc buttons in the sort popover footer share one component across
Feed and Plex browse, but rendered differently: the Plex popover is narrower
(short option labels), so "Descending" wrapped icon-over-text and made the
active button taller. Add whitespace-nowrap to the direction buttons and bump
the popover min-width (min-w-52 -> min-w-56) so both call-sites render an
identical single-line toggle.
Second gate round over the full branch surfaced 4 verified findings (1 was a
regression the round-1 role change introduced); a 5th (--sbw load jump) was
dropped as refuted (the header only mounts after auth+data, so --sbw is set
before it ever paints).
- e2e (medium): the round-1 switch of FilterSelect rows from role=option to
menuitemcheckbox moved their state from aria-selected to aria-checked, but
the Playwright helper expectContentType still asserted aria-selected, so the
channel specs would fail whenever the e2e lane runs (not part of the fast
gate, so it stayed green). Assert aria-checked.
- a11y (low): the FilterSelect and SortControl pill triggers set
aria-label={label}, which overrides the visible "Label: value" text, so a
screen reader announced only the group name, never the current selection.
Carry the value (and, for sort, the direction) in the accessible name,
matching ViewSwitcher. Updated the unit-test trigger name queries to match.
- tests (low): cover the PageShell font-scale MutationObserver recompute path
(a post-mount root font-size change → --rail-pinned-w re-computes once, no
loop) — previously only the pre-render and resize paths were exercised.
Verified live: the triggers now announce e.g. "Sort: Date, Descending" /
"Watch state: All". Gate green: tsc (app+node+e2e), 373 vitest, prettier,
eslint (0 err).
Epic-end deep-review of the branch surfaced six verified findings; fix them.
a11y (medium): FilterSelect and SortControl opened their AnchoredPopover in
mode:"listbox" but never passed a role, so the surface fell through to
role="menu" while the rows rendered role="option"+aria-selected — options
orphaned outside a listbox, so AT could not announce the selected value.
Switch both to the house menu pattern (as ViewSwitcher already uses): a menu
surface with menuitemradio (single) / menuitemcheckbox (multi) rows carrying
aria-checked, scoped by a role=group. Trigger stays a button+haspopup=menu.
a11y (low): the SortControl asc/desc direction segment signalled the active
direction by colour alone. Add aria-pressed so the current direction is
programmatically exposed, matching SegmentedToggle.
correctness (low): PageShell converted a rem maxWidth to px with a hardcoded
16 to decide the pinned-rail overlay threshold, but index.css scales the root
font by --font-scale (default 1.06 ~ 17px, slider 0.9-1.3), so the threshold
was wrong at every text size on the rem pages (playlists is the only one with
a pinned rail). Use the live root font-size, scale the 36rem slack the same
way, and recompute when --font-scale changes (a guarded MutationObserver — the
slider fires no resize).
tests: cover the two gaps the review flagged — ItemCount (plural, 1M+ overflow,
undefined icon-only, tooltip) and the PageShell rail-pinned-w/content-mw
threshold math incl. the font-scale scaling. Updated the FilterSelect/
SortControl role queries to the new menuitemradio/checkbox roles.
Verified in the running app: menu surfaces carry role=group + menuitemradio/
checkbox with 0 orphaned options, and the sort direction segment exposes
aria-pressed. Dropped two review findings (max-width duplication, pill-class
reuse) as refuted on adversarial verification. Gate green: tsc, 372 vitest,
prettier, eslint (0 err).
The earlier bump measured the view-switcher's BUTTON (16px, inherited) instead of its visible
label span (text-sm = 14px), and 14px is the size the user actually finds comfortable. Walk the
over-sized triggers back to text-sm: FilterSelect, SortControl, ViewSwitcher, and the Combobox
input (which was 14px before the bump anyway). The secondary text already at text-sm/text-xs
(count, chips, widget headers, section labels) was correct and stays.
The view-switcher's 16px reads comfortably; the toolbar and filter controls sat at 12px. Bring
the marked controls up to match, and lift the general scale on the shared filter surfaces.
- Toolbar (feed + channel + Plex, via the shared components): FilterSelect and SortControl trigger
pills text-xs → text-base (16px, the view-switcher size); the result count → text-sm; the
active-filter chips → text-sm with the "FILTERED BY" label text-2xs → text-xs.
- Filterbar: the Combobox picker input → text-base (matching the toolbar pills) + its chips → text-sm;
the panel/widget headers (SidePanel collapsed-rail + panel title, PanelGroup widget titles) up one step.
Channel info and the manager tables were already at 14–16px (readable), so they were left as-is.
Rebuilds SortControl's internals (API unchanged, so all five consumers — feed, Plex,
playlists, and the two table/card ColumnSortControl sites — get it for free) as a labeled
"Label: key ↓ ▾" pill on the AnchoredPopover platform, matching FilterSelect. The listbox
lists the sort keys; an asc/desc segment sits in the panel footer (with the trailing slot —
feed reshuffle, playlists dirty-first — beside it).
Two-dimensional key+direction, so it stays its own component rather than reusing FilterSelect:
the trigger is a single plain button (no nested button), picking a key keeps the panel open so
key AND direction can be set in one visit, and picking "no sort" (tables' defaultLabel) closes
it. Directionless keys (shuffle) hide the segment and drop the trigger arrow.
Drops the now-redundant external "Sort" label spans in Feed and PlexBrowse (the trigger carries
the label now). Rewrites SortControl.dom.test for the popover UI.
- SortControl no longer renders a blank select when an always-sorted view
(no defaultLabel) is handed a key its options don't offer: it falls back to
the first option instead of value="" (which also tripped React's controlled
warning). Robustness now lives in the primitive, not each caller.
- PLEX_SORT_FALLBACK is Object.frozen: it's handed out by reference from
healSort/healPlexSort and stored as provider state, so freezing turns any
accidental in-place SortState mutation into a loud error instead of silently
corrupting the shared fallback.
- Test: SortControl falls back to the first option for an unavailable key.
Gate green: tsc/eslint(0 err)/prettier/knip clean, vitest 106.
Introduce the one sort control every content surface will share:
- columnSort.ts gains the SortOption vocabulary + pure pickSort/healSort/
hydrateSort helpers (direction lives in SortState, never in the key).
- SortControl.tsx: the generic dropdown + asc/desc toggle, with an optional
"no sort" choice (tables) and a trailing adornment slot (the feed's reshuffle).
- ColumnSortControl is now a thin wrapper over SortControl (API unchanged, so
Channels + ChannelDiscovery are untouched); optionsFromColumns moved to
lib/sortOptions.ts to keep the component file fast-refresh clean.
- useSortState.ts: the per-account persist/hydrate/heal plumbing the channel
manager and discovery each hand-rolled, ready to replace both.
Pure logic is fully unit-tested (columnSort.test.ts 10 -> 23). Gate green:
tsc/eslint/prettier clean, vitest 93 pass. Feed/Plex/channels migration follows.
