nexxo 0a89695189 R24: a modal is never taller than the screen
tests / pest (push) Failing after 11m6s Details
tests / assets (push) Successful in 20s Details
tests / release (push) Has been skipped Details
A modal grew with its content, so a form ran off the bottom of the window
and took its own save button with it — reachable only by scrolling the page
BEHIND the backdrop, which on a phone means not reachable at all. The
customer form with its eight fields is what made it obvious, but it was
true of every long modal in the console.

Two halves. The panel is capped once, in the published package view, so no
modal can opt out of it and none has to remember to: max-h in dvh rather
than vh, because on a phone the browser's own chrome counts towards vh and
that is exactly the case where the last centimetre decides whether the
button can be reached. And x-ui.modal is the other half — a header slot, a
scrolling body, a footer slot. min-h-0 on the body is the line that makes it
work: a flex child will not shrink below its content without it, and the
overflow never engages.

Fourteen modals converted: the ones that carry a field, which are the ones
that can grow. A two-line confirmation with one button has nothing that
needs to stay put, and the rule says so rather than leaving a footnote —
the test's criterion is the field, so the moment somebody adds an input to a
confirmation it fails and tells them.

A submit button in a footer sits outside the form it submits, so it carries
form="…". That is the price of a footer that does not scroll away, and an
HTML attribute rather than a workaround; there is a test for it, because
without it the button silently does nothing.

Two traps met on the way, both now scanned for. A Blade directive in a
component tag's attribute list (a conditional wire:poll on x-ui.modal)
compiles into the attribute bag and breaks the view outright — the same
mistake as @disabled on x-ui.button, which cost a debugging round earlier
this session; such attributes go on an element of their own. And Pest's
toContain() is variadic, so the second argument I passed as a failure
message was read as another needle: the assertion demanded that a footer
contain its own filename, and failed on a file that was correct.

nexxo 9b8d5dfd1e Editing in modals, an update button that is not gated on a stale reading, and a support page that is real
tests / pest (push) Successful in 7m18s Details

Three things reported together.

── Editing belongs in a modal (R20)

The seats table grew its input fields into the row. It worked and it looked
broken: the row grew, the columns beside it jumped, and a table half in edit
mode reads as a rendering fault rather than as a form. The project already had
the answer — EditDatacenter, whose own header comment says it avoids exactly
that row-height jump — and the seats table simply did not use it.

EditSeat is now a ModalComponent. A modal is reachable WITHOUT the page's route
middleware, so it resolves the customer itself and re-reads the record rather
than trusting a hydrated property: a forged addressEditable would otherwise
open the address of an accepted seat, and the address is the person — editing
it hands one employee's access to another with nobody told. Only an invitation
still in flight can have its address corrected, which is the case that actually
comes up.

The actions column is now always drawn. It used to disappear when the only seat
was the owner, on the reasoning that there was nothing to act on. But every
seat can be renamed, and a column that vanishes does not read as "not
applicable here" — it reads as "this product cannot do that", which is how it
was reported, three times. The owner's row says "Geschützt" rather than leaving
an empty cell.

Also caught here: the edit fields carried class-wide #[Validate] attributes, so
an empty edit form made the INVITE button fail on a field the invite form does
not have. Rules for an action belong to the action.

── The update button

"I cannot run an update, it says everything is current." `behind` is a READING
taken by the agent every five minutes, not the state of the world — push a
commit and the console insists it is up to date and refuses to act. The agent
does its own fetch before deciding, so asking against a stale reading costs one
fetch and finds nothing; being locked out costs the deployment. The button is
now offered whenever an agent is alive and no run is in flight, labelled for
what it does rather than for what the last reading said.

── The update never announced that it had finished

Because the thing being watched restarts the thing doing the watching. Mid-run
every wire:poll request fails, and what answers afterwards is a new build being
questioned by the old page's JavaScript — so the card sat on "läuft" until
somebody reloaded by hand. A small Alpine watcher now asks a plain JSON
endpoint (no Livewire, no component state, no assets), treats a failed request
as the restart rather than as a fault worth giving up over, and reloads once
the build it is looking at is no longer the build it started with.

── Support

The page was a decorated placeholder: a button that raised a toast saying the
form was "only hinted at in the prototype", three invented ticket titles living
in the translation file, and no way to see what became of anything. It looked
thin because nothing on it was real.

It now leads with the customer's own requests — what somebody arriving here
wants to know is what they asked and whether anyone answered — with contact
details moved to the side where they belong. The form attaches the plan, the
instance and who is asking automatically: making a customer describe their own
server back to the people who built it is the part of support people hate. FAQ
answers end where the thing can actually be done, and "is it me or is it you"
is answered by a link to the status page.

637 tests. R20 recorded in CLAUDE.md and enforced by EditInModalTest: no page
view may grow an input field inside a <td>.
