Adapt Terminal View

+

Surface: apps/web/app/globals.css ยท Beads issue: islandflow-1f5

+
+ +
+

Summary

+

+ The terminal view now adapts more deliberately across desktop, tablet, and phone contexts. The update preserves the evidence-console density on larger screens while making controls, navigation, filters, drawers, and data lanes more usable on smaller touch devices. +

+
+ +
+

Changes Made

+
    +
  • Changed the tablet rail from a stacked desktop sidebar into a sticky horizontal command rail with scrollable navigation and metric strips.
    • +
  • Added phone-specific touch sizing for buttons, navigation links, filter controls, and pane actions.
    • +
  • Converted the flow filter panel and evidence drawers into bottom-sheet style surfaces on small screens.
    • +
  • Adjusted pane spacing, page heading scale, and table row heights to fit small screens without hiding core workflow content.
    • +
  • Kept dense data tables horizontally scrollable instead of crushing columns into unreadable cells.
    • +
  • Replaced colored side-stripe table accents with full-row inset outlines to preserve semantic color without banned side-stripe treatment.
    • +
+
+ +
+

Context

+

+ Islandflow is a product-register interface for serious traders and researchers. The relevant scene is a user moving between a desktop workstation and a smaller companion screen while monitoring live or replayed market evidence. The design keeps the dark, composed terminal atmosphere because it supports high-contrast scanning in dim, focused trading conditions. +

+
+ +
+

Important Implementation Details

+
    +
  • The responsive behavior remains CSS-only in globals.css, avoiding component churn in the large terminal module.
    • +
  • The 1180px breakpoint now rethinks navigation as a horizontal rail rather than a full-width vertical block.
    • +
  • The 720px breakpoint shifts to touch-first behavior with 44px minimum targets and bottom-reachable overlays.
    • +
  • The data tables retain their information architecture by using horizontal scroll lanes and slightly larger mobile rows.
    • +
+
+ +
+

Validation

+
    +
  • Ran bun test apps/web/app/terminal.test.ts apps/web/app/routes.test.ts: 64 passing tests.
    • +
  • Ran bun --cwd=apps/web run build: production Next.js build completed successfully.
    • +
  • Searched for banned colored side-stripe CSS patterns in the app stylesheet after the update: none found.
    • +
+
+ +
+

Issues, Limitations, and Mitigations

+
    +
  • No real-device browser session was available in this turn, so tactile behavior was validated through CSS structure and production build checks rather than physical-device testing.
    • +
  • The tables intentionally remain horizontally scrollable on phones because hiding key evidence columns would damage the investigative workflow.
    • +
  • Bottom-sheet drawers can still cover part of the active tape on very short screens, mitigated by max-height limits and internal scrolling.
    • +
+
+ +
+

Follow-up Work

+

No new follow-up issue was filed. The current adaptation is self-contained under islandflow-1f5.
