The cancel button on the template modal was written with Alpine's
$dispatch, which fires a browser DOM event — and wire-elements/modal
listens for a LIVEWIRE event of that name. So it did nothing at all, while
saving worked, which is the combination that makes somebody click twice and
then close the tab. Every other modal in the repo already used
Livewire.dispatch; this one was the odd one out, and nothing would have
caught it, so there is now a scan that fails on the Alpine form. Narrowed
to Alpine handlers deliberately: wire:click="$dispatch('closeModal')" IS
Livewire's own dispatcher and works.
The list was one column of thirteen entries, each carrying a name, a
subject, two clamped lines of body and two full-width buttons — four
screens to find the one you want, with the body preview taking most of the
height while being the least useful part of it. The whole text is one click
away in the modal.
Now: two columns of one-line entries — name and subject, which is what
tells two similar answers apart — with the actions as icons that do not
compete with the name. The create form is folded away behind the button
that creates one, because a form that is always open is a screen of form
between the operator and the thing they came for. And the placeholder list
runs as a grid across the page instead of a tall sidebar that squeezed the
entries into half the window.
