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.

Audience line and note were LandingController::COPY, a hardcoded array
keyed on exactly the four plan keys the seed migration created — a plan
made under any other key rendered with no copy at all. They move onto
the family for the same reason the recommendation mark does: they are a
stance about the product line, not a capability that changes with a
price, so they must not be frozen per version.
Backfilled in the migration from the controller's own strings, so the
public page prints exactly what it printed a moment ago. A family with
no copy yet renders without the audience line rather than an empty gap.
Feature labels (managed_updates, daily_backups, ...) stay in the
controller: they name catalogue features, not individual plans, so
there is no per-plan or per-version place to hang an editable
customer-facing label without re-introducing a shared feature table.
That table existed once and was deliberately removed when the plan
catalogue closed its pricing split-brain; bringing it back for wording
alone is a bigger, separate decision.
Recommended lives on the plan family, not a version: it is a stance about
the product line ("which plan we point a visitor towards"), not a
capability that changes with a price, and freezing it per version would
make the mark silently vanish every time a new version publishes.
Setting a plan recommended clears whichever other plan carried the mark,
inside one transaction locking the whole table — two operators
recommending two different plans at once must not both win. The public
price sheet already had the highlighted-card treatment for this (it was
driven by a hardcoded "team" constant); it now reads the family instead.
